Now, as if I laid been the only John ! in the world, I thought she knew me. I j felt for the key and turned it in the lock without hesitation, wondering all the while what was coming next. Then an awful suspicion of some horrible trick * flashed upon my mind, for T had often j heard of infatuated men being lured to their destruction by pretty women, and j I was on the point of re-opening the i door, when my lady struck a light.— j Then being an excessively modest man, | I discovered to my dismay that I was in i a bed room ! alone with a woman in a bed room! I cannot describe mv sensa tion. I said something, but the lady lighted her lamp, looked, stared at me for an instant, turned as white as a pil low case, and screamed —, ‘Who are you? How came you here? Go, quick—leave this room—T—l thought you were mv husband,’ and cov ering her face with her hands, she sob bed violently. T was petrified. Os course I was j quite as anxious to leave as she was to j have me do so. Hut in my confusion, j instead of going out at the door I came j in, I unlocked another door, and walked j’ into a closet. Before I could rectify my error, there j came a terrible thundering at the front j door. The lady screamed—the noise in- j creased, and I felt peculiar, knowing very well that new the lady’s real bus- j band was coming, and l was in rather a • bad fix. Well aware that it would uot Ala^aJ thofttlanger of meeting a man who might fall into the vulgar weakness of being jealous, I was trying to collect my scat tered sense in Ihe dark recesses, when il the lady rushed to me and whispered in 1 wild manner: ‘What shall 1 do? If you do not go j he will kill me!’ ■!■ ‘Oh—hut consider-— ’ Tim thundering at the door frowned j Ler voice. She fled to open it. As; the wrathful husband burst into the room j I thought I felt a little cold, and crept : Under some garments that were hanging j in the closet.

ASOOD STORY. The Baltimtfce Patriot tells the follow- j I ing good story : “Dr. Green, tof Princeton College, j was always purtioular to impress upon his class the greatuinportance of having a lucid understanding of the sacred j writings, and always took care to assure i them how much pleasure he would have j ;in exploiting anyJfeemingly dark or - doubtful passages. Doctor,* said a stu-1 j dent, ‘you were kind enough to-day to i inform us again of your willingness to j enlighten us upon the doubtful passages j | of Scripture.’ , J ‘Yes, replied the Doctor', ‘it is one of i the most agreeable parts of mv duty to ! do so.’ ‘I have been troubled of late very much about a certain passage,’ contin ued the student. ’‘You of course re member the parable of the seven devils who were cast out of a certain man. — Those devils, driven from the man, took to swine, the swinp took to the sea, and were drowned; now what become of tlie devils?’ The tradition rhus, that the doctor very gravely sent the pupil to his books, and as soon as he room, that the staid professor was to laugh very heartily. But he diarnot answer the student’s question.” T| The patriot goes on t*> state, that the : student referred to, wffc propounded the i question, ‘hard to, b answered,’ has j since risen to the highest, honors in one j j of the learned professions,init still con-j t.inues his search after knowledge, tlm’ j i not under the difikkilties, a|ji)is early • f HACHi:LOnSLOOKJIERE.’ Bachelors are styled bjjpnarricd men who have ‘put tliei* foofcjito it,’ as only i ‘half j icrfected* beiaga | ||'cheerless waga i bonds,’ ‘bnt half a pajf shears,’ and many ! other cuffing titles given them'vhile ! ‘ on the other hand, MTy extol their own I state'as one bfsudiLperfect bliss that a* I change from curtly to heaven would be , somewhat Toiibtful good.

ENCOURAGE your own Literature—Price re duced to three dollars, or four dollars if not paid before the Ist of July in liny year. In issuing the prospectus of tho 19th volume of the Southern Literary. Messenger, the proprietors beg to assure the public that no exertions will be remitted on their part to maintain the high character of the work, nnd to challenge the patronage of all ster ling literary merit. For eighteen years, the Mes senger has endeavored to reflect’faithfully the Southern mind, while disdaining all narrow and sectional views, and lias been alone among the monthly periodicals of America, in defence of tho peculiar institutions of Southern States. To this office it will be devoted, End will bo prompt to re del assaults upon the South, whether they come un dm: the spacious garb of fiction as in “Uncle Tom’s Cmiin,” or in the direct form of anti-slaverypamph lets.Atthie critical juncture,- while our enemies employing literature as their most potent weapon of attack, the Southern people will surely not with hold their encouragement from a work whose aim’ it shall be strike blows in their defence. The Messenger will, as heretofore, present its readers with Reviews, Historical and Biographical Sketches, Tales, Novels, Travels, Essays, Poems, Critiques, and papers on the Army, Navy, and other National Subjects. And while the proprietors do not appeal to tho public on the score of a long list of contributors, they may refer with pride to tho following names, names, as among those who are enlisted in behalf of the Magazine: Lieut.

The editorial and critical department of the Messenger will continue ns heretofore, under tho charge of John R.

Our main object is to furnish striking and interesting passages of Characters and Lvents in tho history of a country, and at the UOTafr tittle present to the render a Compend of its TWTrtTy. Some frti-tions of mis vfork wilFeonsist, of but little more than a Chronological Statement of facts. Such will be the case ill reference to pe riods of history which were marked by nothing re markable, either in the affairs of Goverument.or the progress of science nnd art. If will be seen at, a glance, that, this vyill be a laborious undertaking. We hope that it may tneet. public favor, and feel that it should, as it will compress, ill a small compass, much valuable in formation, especially for the young and persons of limited means and education. It is impossible, now, to say how long it will take to conclude it, but, we apprehend a twelvemonth at least. This single publication will be worth to each subscriber more than the cost of the paper for that length of time. Those who may desire to obtain the Analects and Compendium entire would do well to subscribe ivitliou-j delay.
