the poisoned nosegay.
On the e\e of th< lete of St. Lottie, a
poor laborer ai rived out of breath, at the
Hotel of the Lieutenant of Police in Paris,
and asked to speak with the Chi t Magistrate,
the celebrated M. Berntin de Bellisle; but
it was one o clock, tht* usual inner hour, at
the period, and the elegantly'dressed valets
mm"!™.o„ ffire ’ ° rthe E,1 " BrE - musl Lc : would not disturb their master lor a “shabby
looking workman.”
j The man insisted—they laughed at him—
| entreated-—they ordered him out, and at
i length provoked at Ins importunity, they
took him In the shoulders and attempted to
force him into the stre t. While struggling
with them he exclaimed—“I have particular
business with the Magistrate—the King’s
life is in danger!” At these words the me
nials desisted—and an officer who was pi e-
sent, struck with the honest countenance of
the man, informed M. de Bellisle of the
circumstance, who immediately ordered him
to he conducted to Lis private room, where
he soon jomcvi tum. i lie Magistrate nau
frequently been deceived by persons, who
in tiie hope of reward, had trumped up some
| story ol alarming dangers to the King or the
Government, so that he listened to the work
man’s narrative with a stern and distrustful
countenance.
It seems that while the poor fellow was
doing some repairs in one of the pleasure
houses with which Paris abounds, he over
heard, through a chink in the partition, a
conversation carried on in an undertone be
tween two personages of the court; the
name of the King frequently uttered drew
his attention—-he listened attentively—and
the details lie learned were of the most ter
rible importance. Among the nosegays
which were to be presented to his Majesty
on the occasion of his fete, one was to be
impregnated with a poison so subtle, that it
would cause the instant death of any one
who should smell it. Master of so porten
tous a secret, the frottcur had left his work
unfinished, and without time to change his
working clothes, he had hastened to the
Hotel of the Police to reveal the dreadful
plot that was preparing. Bellisle sifted him
closely on the various points of his story, but
found him perfectly consistent, and was at
length convinced by his earnestness, partic
ularly as he offered to submit to the torture
to testily the truth of Iris words. lie took
him in his carriage to Versailles, where he
had him placed under the surveillance ol
the guard, while he went to the King’s a-
partment by a private staircase, in order not
to excite the fears of the conspirators.
At eight o’clock on the same evening,
Louis XV. went to the grand saloon of re-
ccption—where he sat with a smiling coun
tenance in the chair of State at the bottom
of the room. Before him was the splendid
round table of mozaic, which had been presen
ted to Louis XIV. by tire Republic of Venice,
and was destined to receive the brilliant
ys which were to he offered to his
v on the present joyful occasion.—
Loins exchanged smiling glances with Mad
ame de Pompadour, anu v.' , ‘ l ^‘ s hand car
essed hii favourite spaniel, placed on d s* 00,
at his feet. The ceremony at length com
menced. The King rec ived one by one
the various boquets offered him, and under
pretext of playing with his dog, whose in
discreet vhacity seemed greatly to amuse
him, he held each bunch of flowers to the
animal’s nose, and then laid it cn the table.
The members of the diplomatic body first
paid their homage to his Majesty—then came
the Royal Family who had courteously y ield
ed to them the precedence. On smelling
the. first nosegay presented by them the dog
Fell dead. Madame de Pompadour turned
pale, and was about to scream our, when
her royal lover whispered to her—“be not
alarmed—the danger is passed. Hide the
poor spaniel in a fold of your robe—he died
to justify the saying— “son, b.-o her, and la
ther of the King, and never King himself.”
The cetemony was soon afterwards con
eluded, and Louis returned to his private
apartment, where he sent for the Lieutenant
of Police. “You were well informed, M. de
B- liisle,” said he; “hist year the poniard of
Dumiens—a nosegay this time—and all from
the same source! Butin this case l cannot
punish as I should. You will please to keep
silent on this dreadful mystery. As to the
man who has saved me, I wish to see him—
present him to me.” The magistrate made
come excuses about the frotteur’s humble
dress and appearance—but was interrupted
by the good natured monarch with—“So
much the better! The working dress is the
people’s dress of glory. Bring your frottcur
here—I will treat him better than a prince!”
Bellisle went out—and soon returned holding
by th<; hand his protege, trembling, and not
daring to lift up his eyes. Louis X\. ad-
vanced to him; “embrace your King, wor
thy man,” said he, “let that be your first re
ward.” “Ah, sire!” exclaimed the man, try
ing to throw himself at his feet, “am I wor
thy of such excess of honor and.goodness!”
The King drew him to his bosom, warmly
embraced him, and kissed him cn the lore-
head. Louis asked him in what way he
could serve him? “Well then, sire, he (an
swered) I should be happy to live near your
Maj* ■sty, here in the neighboring park, li
you will permit me to see you sometimes 1
will always lie happy.” “Is <hat all,” said
Louis—“in fifteen days a house shall be
built for you, my worthy friend and ever)
morning you will bring me a nosegay vi men
will make me remember that 1 have owed
niv life to your loyalty and affection” I he
King kept his promise—a beautiful cottage
was built for his humble friend near Triahon
a pension of 12 hundred louis a year was
settled upon him and he lived in uninterrupt
ed happiness till the end ol his days.

We cannot say that gratitude and friend
ship arc the same thing. Friendship i< of a
superior order. Every' :hing is equal among
friends, but it is not so between the benefac
tor and receiver: the first has a manifest su-
j periority over the latter. There also often
exists a superiority of rank between them,
incompatible with ihat tender intimacy, that
perfect equality, which forms the essence of
true friend-hip. But if gratitude is not teal
ly friendship, it d ffeis but little from it; if it
does not, like her, require a certain sympa
thy and similitude of character, it approach
es to it ciosely itt its sentiments, conduct, and
duty; and wishes only to be converted into
real friendship.
True delicacy of bestowing a favour, con
sists in hiding that superiority which it gives.
True gratitude, in acknowledging it publicly
without being humiliated.
The man who would not wish to break
through the duties required by gratitude,
should be cautious how he becomes subject
to them. Few men are difficult in the choice
of their benefactors. They do not examine
how iur gratitude rv>«j- fcvtuinr a. bill then tO
thejn; if their protector may not become Hietr
tyrant, or if they cannot without shame ac
knowledge him for their frit nd. A delicate
mind will be attentive to this. It will devote
itself to friendship, bnt will not sell itself for
intercbt.
Pride and supercillious delicacy soon put
the ungrateful mind at ease; but the grate
ful s«.-ul feel mote lively the wrongs of his
benefactor.

gratitude.
BY THE MARQUIS d’aRGEN'SON.
Gratitude is one, of the most pleasina; sen
sations to honest minds. Kindnesses are by
them looked upon as debts which can never
be repaid.
The grateful man may have defects, but
it is almost impossible that he should be stain
ed with any odious vice. lie is not cursed
with the insolence of pride, nor debased by
the receipt of benefits. He is a stranger to
envy, for that vice cannot exis^where grati
tude has taken root.
The only benefit which the person who
does a kindness has a right to expect, is to
be beloved, if he looks for more, lie does
not give his benevolence, but sells it. But
the receiver does not contract a less sacred
debt, because it cannot be demanded; and
it has this peculiar circumstance annexed to
it, that it is in some degree discharged mere
ly by a desire to repay it.
HOW TO MAKE A YOUNG WIFE OF
AN OLD MAID.
The following true story might perhaps
furnish matter for a little Comedy, if Come
dies weie still written in England.
It is generally the case, that the more
beautiful and the richer a young female is,
the more difficult are both her parents and
herseif in the choice of a husband, and the
more offers they refuse. The one is too
tail, the other too short, this not wealthy,
this not respectable enough. .Meanwhile
one spring passes after ano’her, and year
after year carries away leaf after leaf of
the bloom of youth, and opportunity after
opportunity. Miss Harriet Selwood was
the richest heiress in her native town; but
she had already completed her twenty-sev
enth year, and beheld almost all her young
friends united to men whom she had atone
time or other discarded. Harriet began to
be set down for an old maid Her parents
became really uneasy, and she herself la
mented in private a position which is not a
natural one, and to which those to whom
nature and fortune have been niggard of
their ffiiis are obliged to submit; but Harri
et, as we have said, was both handsome and
very rich.
Such was the state of things when her
uncle, a w< althy merchant in the North of
England, came on a visit to her parents. He
was a jovial, lively, straight forward man—
accustomed to attack ail difficulties boldly
and coolly. “You see,” said her father to
him one dav, “Harriet continues single. The
gill is handsi me, what site i to have for her
ii time you know; even in this scandal-lov-
; lVj r town not a creature can breathe the
slightest impu'HMuu ZZ-.?.* 1 ,irr i aiul Y etshe
is getting to be an old maid.”
“True,” replied the uncle; “but look you,
brother, the grand point in every affair in
this world is to seize the right moment; this
you have not done; it is a misfortune, but
let the girl go along with me, and before the
end o three months 1 will return her to you
as the wife of a man as young and wealthy
as herseif.”
Away went the niece with the uncle. On
the wa\ home he thus addressed her:—“Mind
whai 1 am going to say. You are no longer
Miss Selwood, but Mrs. Lumley, my niece,
a voting weal hy, childless widow; you had
the misfortune to lose your husband, Col.
Lumley, after a happy union of a quarter oi
a year, bv a fail from his horse while hunt
ing”
“But uncle ”
“Let let me manage, if you please, Mrs.
Lutnlev. Your lather has invested me with
full powers. Here, look you, is the wedding
ring g veu you by your late husband. Jew
ells and whatever else you need, your aunt
will supply you with, and accustom your
self to cast down your eyes.”
The keen witted uncle introduced his niece
every where, and every where the young
widow excited a great si nsation. The gen
tlemen thronged about her, and she soon had
her choice out of twenty suitors. Her un
cle advised her to accept the one who was
deepest in love with her, and a rare chance
decreed that this should be precisely the
most amiable and opulent. The match was
soon concluded, and one day the uncle de
sired to say a few words to his nephew in
private.
“My dear sir,” he began, “we have told
you hi untruth.”
“How so? Are Mrs. Lumlev’s affections—”
“Nothing of the kind, my niece is sincere
ly attached to you.”
“Then her fortune, I suppose, is not equal
to what you told me.”
“On the contrary it is larger.”
“Well, what is tlie matter then?”
“A joke, an innocent joke, which came
into my head one day, when I was in a good
humour; we could not well recall it after
wards. My niece is not a widow.”
“What! is Col. Lumley living?”
“No, no, she is a spinster.”
The lover protested that he was a happier
fellow than he had ever conceived himself;
and the old maid was forthwith metamorphi-
sed into a young wife.
the viT) gal i’in af.er.” “Geet out, you
don’t say.” “Yes 1 do, I’m in as hard earn
est as ever my old dog Lion was at a Coon.”
That pleased Sal mightily, and she kinder
tossed her head and looked as proud as some
of your town gals do when they get in a ball
room. Says I, “Sal, will you have me?”—
“I recon as bow I will, you don’t catch this
child refuring to do that thing when she hat
so good a chanpe.” So off’ we went to the
Pat son’s, and Sal and I got married, and
now we live kinder happilv together as can
he, only • ometimes she bawls out to me,
‘•Mr. Darby, don’t be a spitting your tobac
co juice cn the fire-dogs, and sticking yout
feet on the fender; may I be burnt ii’ 1 can
keep any thing decent for you, plague take
all tobacco chewers, I say, that are a; nasty
about it as you are.” And the way she raps
my toes with the tong's when she secs my
feet on the fender, is no ways common, I
tell you; however, I live as happy as I can
expect with a woman—that’s the fact.

> —Madam,-—Li the third number*
of y»ur Magazine, I see the followin';
question proposed :—“Is the influence of corsets
more detrimental to the human frame than a con
firmed habit of stooping?” I have thought a
great deal qn this subj-et, and, though not hith
erto one of your correspondents, 1 will trv to
throw what light I canen it. From the manner
in which tlie question is framed, one is led lo
-suppose that corsets, tkough acknowledged to
be injurious in themselves, are considered a
remedy for an evil halit of stooping. fins I
think cun hardly be made out. I havesean cor

spirits are buoyant, is tllowed to obey her nat

and skip, and run, until healthy exhaustion asks
that repose which is eqialiy allowed ; and thus
she grows up healthy aid straight; but the young
lady is receiving constint admonitions to -urb

just in proportion as shesubdues nature, receives
the praise of being wel -bred The consequence
soon follow of weakness in the bqdy generally,
from the want of the natural quantity and va

from the manner in whbh the sitting down is
usually performed. A girl is allowed to sit
down, because she has been long standing ; but
great c are is taken that ihe muscles ol the back,
which still remain in action as she sits, shall

This 1 believe is ali tr ie—tor >!•..! 9^" ( l° we
hear young ladies say that they cannot sii up ai
all without heir corsets. Men fhi«! no such dif
ficulty, nor do the labouring classes, who do not
wear them. Dr Arnott further says, (page
222.) “Stays, iherfore, can neither help to make
strong and well-formed backs, originally, Y.or
can they he a remedy after the weakness has com
menced.” What then can doit? may bn asked.
I answer—docility, on the part of the child,
may do much. She will remember iter mother’s
wishes and anxiety, and will endeavour to sit
up. Time and exercise will strengthen her
back, which is frequently very weak, from a
too rapid growth, that has not allowed the mus
cles lo ailain firmness. Walking frequently,
lor a short time, with a stick held in the bauds
bv each end, and thus passed over the bead, and
placed across the shoulders, so as to expand the
chest, is very serviceublejand the use of tit n long
neglected utensil, tlie large spinning-wl.e i, by-
exercising the arms and back, ami opening tlie
cliestwouid lend to correct boffi he weakness and
the habit of stooping. Heioiues of o;d could
“guide tlie spindle, and direct the loom,” and
why not a modern young lady ?
But I lear, M rs. W., that all my good rules
will be thrown away, till all-powerful fashion
shall restore the’adies’ sleeves to ihe natural
place lor them, the joint of the shoulder, and
not decree that a lady’s arm is to begin halfway
down to her elbow. While the necks of the
dresses come below the points ol' tiie shoulders,
a voting ladv will be obliged to draw her shoul
ders forward, in order to keep her clothes tight
across the back, and prevent them from slipping
below that point that fashion, (little squemish as
she is,) considers tiie point of decency. To aid
in keeping the dress in place, it i. ust also lie
very ti'/in at the waist, and here is another great
evil". When will gear? taste set the fashion, and
teach us that it really is not beautiful to have a
waist out of proportion to the rest of the figure;
and that the natural rounding and expansion of
tlie bust, is far more lov'.ely than the flattened,
sunken appearance, producer? by a co sct bone ?
It appears to me that even devo’ers to fashion
and the world, might be made to see tins—how
much morethen asober-mmded Christian mother
whose eves are not blinded by the “g-’d
world ;” but whose earnest wish lo pursue what
shall really be best for the welfare of her chil
dren. If these hints shall meet t'ne eye of any
such, and benefit her, or her offspring, mv end
will have been attained. B.

A SISTER’S LOVE.
There is no purer feeling kindled upon the al
tar of human affections, than a sis'er’s pure nn-
cotrnminated love for her brother. It is unlike
all oilier affections ; so disconnected with selfish
sensuality ; so feminine in its developemfmt ; so
dignified, and vet, with all, so loud, so devoted.
Nothing can alter it, nothing can suppress it.
The world mav revolve, and its revolution effect
changes in ihe fortunes, yet, il he wants, whose
hand will so readdv stretcii out as that of his
sister ; and if his character is maligned, whose
voic** vvil! so readilv swell in its advocacy. Next
to a mother’s unquenchable love, a sister’s is pre-
eminent. It resis so exclusively on the ties of
ennsanguinitv for its sustenance ; it is so wholly
divested of passion, and springs from such a deep
recess in the human bosom, that when a sister
once fondly and deeply regards her brother, that
affection is bieiitiid with her existence, and the
lamp that nourishes it expires only with that ex
istence. In all the anna! - of crime it i- consid
ered anomalous to find the hand of a sister raised
in anger against her brother, or her nurturing
the seeds of hatred, envv or revenge, in regard
to that brother. In all the affections of woman
there is a devotedness and n depth* which cannot
he properly appreciated by man. ?n those re
gards where the passions are not-at all necessary
in increasing the strength ofthe affections, mure
sincere truth and pure feeling may be expected,
than in such as are dependent upon each other
for their duration ns well us their facilities. A
sister’s love, in this respect, is peculiarly re
markable. There is no selfish gratification m
its out pourings; ii lives from the natural impulse;
and personal charms are not in tne slightest de
gree necessary to its birth or duration.
MORAL DRESS OF A LADY.
First, whether a lady or damsel, she ought to
have black shoes, to indicate simplicity, which
teaches ladies they ought to walk untainted by-
pride : thejady, of whatever sphere of life, ought
to wear black and white garters, which denote
her firm intention to persevere in virtue, as
white and black never change naturally. Al
ter these things tiie petticoat ought to be white,
to denote the honesty and chastity that ought to
be in a woman ; and the apron should be crim
son, as tlie symbol of good thoughts directed
towards God. Lastly, the robe for a titled lady
shsuld be gold cloth, which represen's a good
deportm.' - ::!, for ns gold pleases the sight ol most
people, so the good deportment of a lady is the
cause or her pleasing. Here we have garments
portraying a perfect mouil, but will our age find
them ijaHaitt enough, will tney not inspire our
belles with alarm ? in a word, will Fashion
ever dare to present thorn with dresses that will
surround them with such severe virtues? This
is what we venture to affirm: we always boas:
of the good qualities of ourfathers, yet we never
try to imitate them.
Let thv estate serve thy occasions; thy occa
sions thvselfj thyself tiiy soul; thy sou! thy God.
FORMATION OF CHARACTER.
It is ever to be kept in mind ihat a good name
is in all cases the fruit of personal exertion. It
is not inherited from parents; it is not created by
external advantages; it is no necessary appen
dage of birth, or wealth, or talents, or station;
but toe result ol one’s own endeavours—the
fruit and reward of good principles, manifested in
a course of virtuous and honorable action.—
This is the more important to be remarked, be
cause it shows that tlie attainment of a good
name, whatever be your external circumstances,
is entirely within your power. No young man,
however humble I.is birth, or obscure his condi
tion, is excluded from the invaluable boon. He
has only to fix his eye upon the prize, and press
towards it, in a course of virtuous and useful con
duct, and it is his. And it is his interest to no
tice how many of our worthiest and best citi
zens have risen to honor and just usefulness by-
dint of their own persevering exertions. They
are to be found in great numbers, in each of
the learned professions, and iu every depart
ment of business; and they stand forth, bright
and animating examples ol what can he accom
plished by resolution and effort. Indeed, my
frit-nds, in the formation of character, personal
exertion is tiie first, tiie second, and the third
virtue. Nothing great or excellent can be ac
quiied Without it. A good name will not come
without being s-iugiit. Ail ihe virtues of which
it is (-'imposed are tiie result of untiring applic i-
ti "u and industry.
'1 thousands oi voung men have b> en ruined
by reiving for a good nauiv on their honorable
parentage, or inherited wealth, or the patron
age of friends. F a tered by these disi actions,
they have lelt as»n tney might live without
effort—men ly for their own gratification auu
indulg'-nce No mistake iu more fatal. It al.
wavs issues in producing an inelfic.eiit and usn-
I is character. On this account it is that cha
racter and wealth rarely continue m the same
family more than two nr three generations.
In tiie ioio.‘ :v -! |, h *ff a ii 0,, d character, it is of
,, t -eat importance that the early fit 1 °' btt be im
proved awl gud, ded with tiie utmost carein.- t j 0i ,, 0 j
ness. The most critical period 91 hie is that I ,
wnicii elapseu I Yum fourteen "o twenty one years
ol age. More is done during this period to
mould and settle the character of tne future man,
than in al! ihe other y arsoi lue. If a young
man passes ilffs season with pure morals and
fair leputalion, o good name is almost sure to
crown ids maiurer years, and descend with him
to the close of ins days. Un tlie oilier hand, if
a young man, in tins spring season of file, neg
lect iffs mind and heart; if he indulges himself
in vicious courses and ion ^habits of inefficien
cy and slothfuluc.'S, tie experiences a los- which
n > efforts can retrieve, so d brings a stain upon
his cnuracier which no tears can wash away.
Youthful thoughtlessness, I know, is wont to
regaid the inJisereiions arid vicious indulgen
ces oftt.is period, .is of very little importance.
But, believe me, my friends, they nave great in
fluence in forming your finure character, and
deciding the estimation in which you are to be
held in community. They are the germs of
bad habits; and bad habits confirmed are ruin
to tiie character and tlie soul. The errors and
vicesofa young man, even when they do not ri
pen into habit, impress a blot on tlie name,
which is rarely effaced They are rein inher
ed in subsequent life; the public eye is olten
turned back to them; the stigma is seen; it
cleaves fast to tlie character, and its unhappy
effects are felt to the end of his days.
A lair reputation, it should b.- remembered, is
“a plant delicate in its nature, and by no means
rapid in its growth.” A character which has
c .st many years to establish, is olten destroyed
in a single hour, or even minute. Guatd, then,
with peculiar vigilance, this forming, fixing sea-
son of vour existence.
DON’T BE DISCOURAGED,
If in the outset of life things do not go on
smoo h y. It seldom happens the hopes we cher-
ish ofthe future are realized. The path of life,
in the prospect, appears smooth and level enough,
bet when we come to travel it, we find it nil up
hill and generally rough enough. The jour
ney is a laborious one, and whether poor or
wealthy, high or low, we shall find it so, to our
disappointment, if we have built on any other
calculation. To endure what is to be endured
witii as much cheerfulness as pi.ssible—and to
elbow our way as easily as we can through the
great crowd, hoping for little, yet striving for
much, is perhaps the true plan. But
Don't be discouraged, if occasionally you slip
down by tiie way, and your neighbors tread
over you a little: in other words, don’t let a
failure or two dishearten you—accidents hap
pens ; miscalculations will sometimes be made;
things will turn out but differently from our ex
pectations, and we may be suffers. It is worth
while to remember tliatforiune is like tlie skies
in April, sometimes clouded, and sometimes
clear and favorable; and as it would bo folly
to despair of again seeing the Sun, because to
Jay w stormy, so is it unwise to sink into des
pondency, when Iortime—fYowua, »;««. in the
common course of thing* elm may be suiely ex
pect'd to smile again. And again —
Don't he discouraged, if you are deceived in
the p -ople of tlie world. It often happens that
men wear borrowed characters, as well ns bor
rowed clothes; and sometimes those who have
long stood fair before the world, are very rotten
at the core. From sources such ns these you
may be most unexpectedly deceived ; and you
will naturally feel sore under such deceptions;
but to these you must become used; if you fare
as most people do, they will lose their novelty
before you grow grey, and you will learn to
trust men cautiously, and examine their charac
ters closely, before you allow them great oppor
tunities to injure you.
Don't be discouraged, under any circumstan
ces. Go steadily forward. Rather consult your
own conscience, then the opinions of men, though
tiie last is not to be disregarded. Be industri
ous ; be frugal; be honest ; dea! in perfect kind
ness with all who come in your way, exercising
a neighborly and obliging spirit in your whole
intercourse ; and if you do not p.-osperas rapiJiy
as any ot your neighbors, depend upon it you
will be as happy.—Emporium.
FEMALE SOCIETY-
BY JAMBS BANBURY.
To a young man nothing is so important as a
spirit of d :vot on (next to his Creator) to some
virtuous and amiable woman, whose image may
occupy his heart, and guard it from the pollution
which besets it on ali sides. Nevertheless, I
trust, that your fondness for the company ol the
ladies mav not rob you ofthe time which ought
tobedevotod to reading and meditating on your
profession; and above all, that it may not acquire
for you !he reputation of a Dangler, in itself bor
dering on the contemptible and seriously detri
mental to your professional chaic'.er. A cau
tious old Squaretoes, who might have had no
objection to employing such a one at the bar
would, perhaps, besliv ot introducing him as a
practitioner in his family, JR case he should have
a pretty daughter, or sister, or niece, aiL‘:°ugh
al! exprience shows that of all male animals, the
Dangler is the most harmless to the ladies, who
quickly learn with the intuitive sagacity of the
sexto make a convenience of him while he serves
for a butt also.
RIDICULE
Is far more powerful sometimes than
the most cognent reasoning. Mr. Sam Slick,
ofSIick v ill*-, is ofthe same opinion, according to
the following from ins pen:
“When I was a boy I was always late at school;

MEMORIAL OF 3,000 BACHELORS.
To the most beautiful—the most lovely—tlie
most accomplish!: I and fairest of the fair,
alias, the 3,000 young ladies of Boston, who
signed a petition to the Congress of the Uni
ted States, against the annexation of Texas
to the Union ofthe Noith.
Young Ladies:—We, your petitioners, bach
elors, lesiduig in the republic of Texas, deeply
aware of the important control which your sex
have over our destinies, have witnessed with.hu-
mi.atiou and regret, your recent memorial to the
Cong'ess of the United States, against the an
nex. non m Texas lo your happy Union. YVe
•re tiie more mortified from the consideration
that in thus frankly expressing vour disapproba
tion of a national union, you show a disposition
to oppos ■ a union of a more domestic nature, by
wh clt our huppiness would be more immedi
ately-connected. Wo will not however, shut
out all comfort and consolation from %ur bosoms,
In supposing that you cannot be persuaded to
change your opinion, hut still hope, that a pro
per ivpe-s ntation will induce you to change the
posh ion you have assumed, and adopt as a rule
of action, a course ca.'cula’.ed to promote your
own atid onr felicity.
We would, then, humbly represent, that we
have a country larger in extent than tho king-
: a ncc and Spain; with a sky as bright,
a climate as miiu as ?.*?* South of Italy; our
i soil is equal in fertility fo 1 he Delta of i,g\“'!,
; with an atmosphere pure and healthful as the
mountains of Circassia. Our population iscoin-
ijosed ofthe chivalrous ofall nations, who rallied
t<« the standard of live single star ofthe '.vest, to
oppose the oppression of a semt-barbarious race,
and wn-st from tyranny and oppression the fair
est portions ofthe habitable globe The battle
has been fought and won; justice and chivalry
have triumphed; aid the gods of battle have giv-
en into our hands a country so supremely b -au
tifiil, that it would ho invaluable, could we call
from our father land that “last best gift of hea
ven.” without \vriich Eden itself was a desert.
We are here, dear objects of our aff-ction,
without wives; we have not one woman to a hun
dred men, and it is this reflection which more
sensibly embitters the course you have adopted
toward us. We are aware that the refinements
of the age will not allow us to adopt the pri ce
dent sei by youths of Rome, in seizing upon the
fair daughters of their Sab ne neighbors: that
now females have attained tlirir proper sphere
iu society; they are no longer looked upon as the
slaves of tlie stern -ex but as companions equal
iu mind and capacity, and superior in all the
milder virtues which ennoble the human heart.
It is ili s reflection which renders your course
pa nlid in the extreme; but we would approach
you with due reverence, humbly throwing our
selves on your mercy, hoping to find your bo
soms glowing with a different sentiment from
the one expressed in your memorial to the Con
gress of the United Slates.
We would farther add; that ours is, perhaps,
the only country on the foce of the globe where
a proper estimate is placed upon the ladies.—
Even before the declaration of our indepen
dence a woman was considered equal in value
to thie- men, for a single man received from
the government as a settlement right, but one
fourth of a league of land; wheraas if he had a
wife, he obtained four times that amount. And
such is the anxiety of our government officers
to promote an emigration of tlie fair from other
countries, with a probability of securing to them
selves happiness in domestic life; (being nearly
all bachelors,) they have granted two thirds of
a league oflandj [as a dower to her husband,]
who shall marrv w ithin the next twelve months.
These cons’d rations should prevent you from
forming a hasty opinion against us.
In conclusion, if you will emigrate to our fair
laud, we bind ourselves individually and collec
tively. to furnish you all with good husbands,
within from eight to ten months after your arri.
val upon our coast, and thus furnish you with a
better employment than meddling with political
questions, which should interest you much less
than your pwn domestic felicity.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

THE MOSQUITO.
This tormenting insect, happily known only
bv the report in England, is justly an object of
dread to all new comers. A young lady from
tlie Highlands of Scotland, having had her ima
gination worked upon, during tlie voyage to In-
VViiat on airth is going to happen now? Well, j d.a, by the terrible description gi^en of it by the
wonders wiVZ never cease.’ Il raised my dan- i officers of he ship, who felt a pleasure in hoax-
dcr; at last, says I, ‘Mother, now don’t say that j ing the griffins, (now comers,) and having heard
are any more, for gracious sake, for it inak s | by some means that it had n proboscis or trunk,

A FRAGMENT FOR THE LADIES.
“Thv grandmother,” r said my uncle Toby,
addressing himsoli to young Arabella, just from
London, who was playing the battle of Marengo
on the piano, “thy grandmother, child, said he,
“used to p!av on u much better instrument thaif
thine.”
“Indeed” said Arabella, “how could it have
been better 7 you know it is the most fashionable
ins'rument, and is used by every body that is
any thiDg.”
“Your grandmother was something, yet she
never saw a piano forte.”
“But what was the name of the instrument?
had it strings, or was it played by keys.”
“You must give me time to recollect the name,
it was indeed a strange instrument, but wa*
played by the hand.”
“By tlie hand alone ?—bow vulgar » hut I
protest 1 should*like to see one, and papa shall^
buy me one when 1 return to London. Do you
think wo can nb'ain one?”
“N<>, von will not probably find one in Lon-
don, but doubtless they may be found in some of
tho country towns.”*
“How many strings had it?” Must one play
with both hands? and could one plav the double
bass.”
“I know not whether it would play double bass,
as you call it, but it was played-by both hands,
and had two strings.”
“Two strings only ?” surely you are jesting!
how could good music be produced by such an
instrument, when the piano has two or thretf
hundred.”
“Olt, the strings were very long, one about
14 feet, and the other might be lengthened at
pleasure, even to 50 or more.”
“What a prodigious deal of room it must take
up, but no matter, I will have nunc in the old
hall, and papa may have an addition built to it,
fot he says that I shall never want for any thing,
and so does mamma. Wore the strings struck
with l'tt'*- matleis irKo ti** jimn», >>r wore they
snapped like the harpsichord.”
“Like neiihe. of those instruments, ns I rec
ollect, but it produced a soft kind of humming
music, and was peculiarly agreeable to the hus
band and relations of tu> performer.”
“Olt, as to pleasing one’s husband or relation^
that is all dicky, in the h»ut-ton you know:
hut I am determined to have nno at nnv rate.
Was it easily learnt,and was ittxught by French
Iln! ian masters ?”
“It was easily learnt, but French und Italians
scarcely dared to show their heads inourcoun.
try in those times.”
“Cun you not possibly* recollect the name?
How shall we know what to inquire for?”
“Y es, I do now remember the name, and w«

INDIAN COURTSHIP, OR WOOING.
The following anecdote is taken from the
sixteenth chapter of Ileckewelder’s account of

sylvania and the neighboring Stat s. The
work, from which the extract is made, is the
first number of the Publications by the Histor.
ical and Literary Committee of the Philosophic,

An aged Indian, who for many years had
spent much time among the white people both
in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, one dav a*
bout the year 1770 observed that the Indians
had not only a much easier way of gi t ing a
wife than the whites, but also inure ce tain of
getting a good one. “For,” said lie in broken
English, “white man court—court**-may be one

WANTS.
The poor wants the comforts, and many of
them the necessaries of life.
The rich in general want—the common feel
ings of humanity.
The lawyer wants—a ricli client.
The physician w ants—patients to use up hi»
pills and to pay off his h:!is.
Tlie mechanic wants—plen'y of work, and
good spirits to do it, and prompt pnv when ’lia
done.
The merchant wants—cash customers,and ex
tension of credit.
Printers and Editors want— every man to do
what is right, and to give them their dues.
It is whispered that some young ladies want—
husbands; we think this may be a mistake; if
it is, we will be happy to correct it.
In conclusion, we believe it will be admitted’
by all, that every description of people want
fortitude to bear with the ills of life—and that
many, very many, want suffici -nt skill to float
peaceably along the current of prosperity.
CLOSE SHAVING.
A man who was accus'omed to let his bearif
get quite long before he shaved—as that species
of economy in these hard times is not to bo
sneered at, called one Saturday afternoon on bis-
barber, and wanted a clean shave for Sunday:
“I think” said he of the lather box “that I
must charge you extra as your beard, is always*
nearly an inch long before you come here.”
“So far from that,” retorted the oilier, “I have
had some thought of making a charge against
you for the chips.—Boston Moring yews.
Irish Economy.—At a late Assize in Ireland,
two men were condemn'd to be hanged. On
receiving their sentence one of them addressed

“YVhat are they?” • s nid his lordslfip. “Plase
your honour,” said Pat, “will you let me hnng
this man before I am handed myself?” “YVhat
is the other request ?” said the Judge: “YVny
plase your honour,” continued Pat,-“YY’il| von
let my wife hang me, for she will do it more tin-

the other day, I saw a beggar go tip to a crab,
