“Heware how you loiter in vain
Among nymphs ol a higher degree.”^
Mark Axthosy Smbsi was the stilt of a respec
table butcher in’Leeds. Even in childhood, young
Snubbs was remarkable for an ambition, which sear
ed beyond the narrow sphere to which bis birth
threatened to coniine him. He disdained to associ
ate with the voting butchers of the neighborhood,
and attached h:insult to the geitteeler society ol at
torney's’ clerks and i.serccrs’ apprentices —a circum
stance which excited the indignation o! Ins father,
vriio threatened to disinherit him,-on pretence ot his
being too fine a gentleman to do a credit loan hon
orable calling, lint, fortunately, the young man's
maternal uncle, a silk-weaver in the place, viewed
his character in a more favorable light; he admired
his nephew’s spirit, and, resolving to encourage it,
obtained for him the place of a shop-boy wiiu an
eminent haberdasher in London. In this situation
voung Snubbs neglected no opportunity of cultiva
ting the graces; and as he, "at the same time, had
tolerable parts, a modest assurance, and a ready
tongue, he rose so rapidly in his masters lavor, that
he was appointed to travel for the house to the north
of England, and to Scotland. 1 his appointment
had long been the aim of our hero’s exertions, and
the object of his ambitious wishes; and Alexander of
Macedon felt not greater pride, when lie had first
tamed the fiercenessofßucephadus,than did Snubbs,
when he found himself master ol a stout hackney,
trotting on the highway to happiness and Carlisle.
It was here that he met, for the first time, the ac
complished Miss Geraldine Snooks, the daughter
and heiress of a rich attorney, lie had the honor
of dancing with her at a charity ball; he afterwards
met her at a tea-party, and took the liberty ot offer
ing to accompany her next morning to a concert.
His attentions now became more particular; he vis
ited her .at her father’s house—stole her fan—wrote
verses upon her French poodle—and, in short, had
made a strong impression upon her affections, when
he was discovered, one morning, kissing his mis
tress's hand, and trying to prevail with her to ac
company him upon his northern excursion, as far as
Gretna Green, by old .Snooks, who kicked him down
stairs, and forbade him his house tor ever. '1 his
was a severe blow to his hopes; and Snubbs, in the
height ofhis indignation, meditated claiming satis
faction from the attorney, either by the duello or an
action tor an assault. Upon farther reflection, how
ever, he adopted the more prudent and Christian
resolution of overlooking the affront, in considera
tion ofhis love for the fair Geraldine, lie immedi
ately quitted Carlisle, where he had lost his heart,
and, we are sorry to add, his book of patterns; the
latter loss, however, was scarcely felt before it was
relieved, by the restoration <>f the article, with a
hastily written and indifferently spelt note fro n
■ Miss Snooks, expressing sympathy for his sufferings,
and swearing unalterable attachment to his pcsson
and fortunes. The truth is, the patterns had slipped
from the pocket of Mark Anthony’s inexpressibles,
during his somewhat precipitous retreat before the
enraged Octavious Snooks. The constancy of his
mistress greatly consoled our hero under the indig
nity he had just experienced, and he comforted him
self with the thought, that “the course of true love
never did run smooth”—a truth which was farther
confirmed in his own experience, by his horse stum
bling on a piece of new-laid road, and depositing
the unhappy lover in a dr3' ditch. Snubbs did not
allow this accident to ruffle his lately recovered
equanimity; on the contrary, as lie discovered that
his nag had lost a shoo, he led him, with much ten
derness, to a neighboring smiths; and while the
grim master of the forge was performing his office,
our lover availed himself of the unavoidable delay
toqena few stanzas to his mistress, in imitation of
Shenstone’s “Pastoral Ballard.” In this piece he
paints the pangs of absence, threatens to break his
pipe and crook, and pathetically recommends his
sheep and his goats to the care of hiss brother swains,
as he is entirely occupied with his passion for the
di vine Snooks. After despatching this effusion by
a ragged little cyclops, whom he bribed with a six
pence and a glass of purl, he resumed his jour net',
and arrived sale in Glasgow, where he, for a lime,
forgot his love, in transacting the business ofhis em
ployers. But a short excursion which ho had occa
sion to take info (lie Highlands effectually recalled
his attention to love and the muses. I hiring his
passage by steam, from Balloeh to the head of Loch
Lomond, he composed a long elegy, of which the
following stanzas are a fragment:
“While hapless exile, on a distant shore,
l wander far from joy ami Geraldine:
St.li mid the torrent’s rush, the tempest's roar,
Angelic Snooks! iny heart it is ever thine.
Ah: .should my bark, when winds too rudely blow,
|J.? doom’d to perish in this boundless sea
V- H thou, my Suooks—f know thou wilt bestow
A vear for h:m who died for love of thee?”
It docs not clearly appear that Mr. Snubbs was
entitled to consider himself as dying for love of Miss
Snooks, even in the event of the catastrophe which
he here contemplates, seeing that the exclusive ob
ject of his excursion on Loch Lomond—which, by
the way,, lie somewhat absurdly mistakes for a
boundless sea—was t<» make a doscei t on Glchful-
Joch, and thence pass to Inverary, for the purpose
of collecting certain sets of tartan. But poetical li
cence must be allowed to a bagman and a lover. On
his return from this highland excursion, Mark An
thony had a short but satisfactory interview with
his mistress, who gave him a lock of her hair, which
we may here mention was of that shade of red
which is commonly called sandy-color. In return,
Mr. Snubbs presented Iter with an elegant tweezer
case; vows of the most lasting attachment were mu
tually pledged between the lovers, and a day fixed
for their elopement. lirthe meanwhile, Mr. Snubbs
considered himself bound, in honor, to return with
out delay to London, and give his employers an ac-
count ofhis northern‘journey. This account was
found to be highly satisfactory; and the manager of
the commercial house to which lie was attached was
so pleased with his diligence and success, that lie
promoted him, from a trotting galloway and ninety
pounds per annum, to a higher salary, and the luxu
ry ot a gig. Greatly elated with his promotion, our
traveller lost no time in writing to his inamorato an
account ofhis brightened prospects; nor was lie long
in receiving an answer, as warm as he could have
wished, and earnestly pressing him to return imme
diately to Carlisle, where his anxious Geraldine was
expecting him with open arms. But the gifts of for
tune are not only fallacious in their own nature
they are also very apt to exert a mischievous influ
ence on the character and feelings of individuals.
We cannot say that Mr. Snubh’g love was now les;.
warm than when he was less favored by the capri
cious godde-;.; but finding himself more flush of rea
dy money than usual, lie resolved to make the most
of his bachelor liberty, by mixing freely in the gaie
ties of the metropolis. He spent much of his time
at Astley’s, the llavmarket, and even ventured once
or twice to the opera. Such a life of pleasure could
not be expected to last; and Mark Anthony's super
fluous funds were *,rum exhausted. But, in propor
tion as his finances began to be impaired, his love
revived; and 110 was seriously meditating a north
ern excursion, with the intention of acquiring a hus
band’s claim over the person and fortune ot his
Geraldine, when, fortunately, his employers resolv
ed to send him thither on commercial business.
Hitherto we have contemplated Snubbs as the en
fant gate of fortune; but the mutability of human af
fairs extends to bagmen as well as to kings and he
roes; and Mark Anthony Snubbs, like lus great
namesake, triumvir, was destined to be made the
sport of a woman. Though naturally sanguine, and
free from superstition, he felt oppressed with a pre
incnt of evil as he approached, the ancient city of
Carclton. It was night before he arrived at his inn;
yet the anxiety which he felt would not perncf him
to call, as usual, for his slippers and nightcap; he
therefore hurriedly discussed a pound and a half ol
minced collops, with a cut of salmon, for his supper;
and having swallowed half a quart of distilledwa
ters by way of security against the night air, lie sal
lied forth to reconnoitre Mr. Snooks’ premises, and
obtain, if possible, an interview with his mistress.
The wealthy attorney’s house, with the retiring mo
desty which is supposed to characterize its owner’s
profession, stood a little back from the line of the
street, and was surrounded with a small, but neat
orchard. An iron gate, which was secured only by
a latch, afforded ready access to this second para
dise, anti Mr. Snubbs succeeded in stealing round
to Ids mistress’s window unobserved. Here, how
ever, ho stopped and whispered in vain: he even
ventured to hum, in a disconsolate tone, the words
of a Scotch song—
‘‘This an night, this «e night,
O rise and let me in.”
Still no Miss Snooks echoed back the cadence ofhis
song. In a fit of desperation, the love-sick bagman
now approached a window, through a stream of
light. The shutter was only half closed, so'that our
traveller could easily perceive what was doing with
in; but what pen can describe the horror of the un
fortunate bagman, when ho saw, in Mr. Snooks’ best
parlor, which was splendidly lighted up for ‘he oc
casion, with wax tapers and grand lamp, Miss
Geraldine Snooks in her bridal dress, and smiling
from ear to ear, leading down a dance xvitli an elder
ly gentleman in tights, with huge gold buckles, and
a George the Fourth wig, and whom lie readily re
cognized as old Oroonoko, the rich tobacconist, for
w hom the fickle Miss Snooks had often expressed a
particular aversion. At this unexpected sight, Snubbs
could not suppress in an audible groan, which in
stantly interrupted the festivities within. The at
torncy, snatching a horse-pistol from the mantel
piece, rushed to the door, followed more leisurely
by the bridegroom, armed with the fire-shovel. Our
hero now endeavored to effect his retreat, but un
successfully, as one leg was caught in a man-trap,
which Snooks had placed near a lavorite apple-tree,
and the other was held fast by a large house dog,
who had rushed forth upon the first alarm. The
bagman’s cries guided the company to the scene of
action. Lights wore procured, and poor Snubbs
was at last rescued from his perilous situation. He
bad fortunately received little bodily harm, but his
Iriglu was excessive, and his clothes were torn,
lie was speedily recognized, and his sufferings ex
cited rather merriment than sympathy; but wluit
affected him most jvns, that his mistress’, instead of
showing any signs of remorse or pity, joined very
heartily in the mirth which his deplorable plight
had provoked. Old Snooks, indeed, threatened a
prosecution for trespass; but the good-natured to
bacconist interfered, and even Mrs. Oroonoko join
ed in interceding for her unfortunate lover.
The jilted bagman is a respectable mercer in his
native town of Leeds,.and, in the arms of an affec
tionate wife, has forgotten the disdain of .Miss Ger
aldine Snooks.
COUNTRY ATO TOWN ACQUAINTANCE.
The exact balance of favors in ordinary acquaint
anceship is a matter very difficult to be adjusted.—
Sometimes poeplc think they are giving more enter
tainments than they get, and on other occasions x*ou
would suppose that they aro mortally offended’ at
their friends for not coining oftener to cat of their
meat and drink of their cup. It is hard to say
whether a desire of reserving or of squandering
victuals predominates; for though one would urge
that it is more natural to keep what one has titan to
give it away for nothing, yet, tojudge hv the com
mon talk of the world, you are'lhr more likely to
give offence by coming too seldom, than by coming
too often to the table of your friends. Front this
cause, I have often been amused to hear people,
about whose company I was not very solicitous,
making the most abject apologies for having visited
me so seldom ot late, but promising to behave a
great deal better for the future—that is to say, to
give me henceforward much more of what 1 never
desired before, even in the smallest portions.
But this kindness of language is not confined to the
party threatening a visit; the party threatened is
also given to use equally sweet terms of discourse.
“ Bcally, you have been been a great stranger lately.
Wc thought wo never wore to von a train J_
What is there to hinder you of an evening to come
over and chat a little, or take a hand with’the doctor
and.Eliza at whist ? We are alway s so happy to
.sec you. I assure you wc arc resolved to take it
very ill, and if you don't repay our last, visit, we
will never see you again.’’ "With an equally amia
ble sincerity, the shocking person, with whom you
have been long quite tired, (have ceased to gain anv
amusement or any eclat from the acquaintance')
replies, “I must confess I have been very remiss.
Indeed, I was so ashamed for not having called upon
you for such a length of time, that I could not do
it. But, now that the ice is broken, I really will
come some night soon. Yon may depend upon it.”
And so the two part off'their several ways, the one
surprised at having been betrayed into so many ex
pressions of kindness towards an individual about
whom he or site is quite indifferent, and the other,
cither benevolently resolving, in the simplicity ol his
heart, to pay the promised visit, or as much surpris
ed to have been brought into circumstances where
he was reduced to make such a promise,—which,
however, as he is sure to forget it in a few minutes,
IS a matter of very little moment. If these, however
be the puzzlements which beset a town acquaintance
ship, ten times more difficult is it to adjust the mu
tual rights and balance of advantages appertaining
to one, in which the one party is of the town and the
other is of the country. In’ most of such cases,
cither the one party or the other Itns great and real
cause of complaint. For example, n citizen oftolcra- !
ble style, who has been confined to some laborious
employment nlj the year round, amidst ;*ns
within doors, and a foggy and smoky atmoiqJiere
without, with what delight docs he throw himself
into the country some fine sunshiny day in Septem
ber, for the purpose of paying a long promised visit
of three days to a country friend 1 He is received
with boundless hospitality. The best bed-room,
situated in that part of the house where you gener
ally find a city drawing-room, is aired and provided
in the most agreeable manner lor his accommoda
tion. The goodman rides about with him all day,
and dines and drinks with him all night, except du
ring these intervals when the lady or her daughter
solace him with tunes on the piano, learned many
years ago at a boarding shoo! in town. The whole
house, in fact, from the worthy agriculturist in chief
to 1 is* chicken that lias last chipped in the barn-yard,
are at liis service, and he drinks in health and rap
ture, and a taste for natural objects, every hour.—
Ti»e three days arc imperceptibly elongated to as
many weeks, "till at last he has become just like one
of the family, calls the lady gnod-wfie, and the
daughters by their abbreviated Christian names, and
is a very brother and more to his excellent enter
tainer. At length, replenished with as much health
as will serve him through a whole twelve month ol
city life, rosy in cheek and in gill, sturdy as a pine
on the hills, and thickened immensely about the
centre of his person, he finds it necessary at last to
take his leave. The whole of the worthy ruralists
gather about him, and, as if not stisfied with what
they have already done for him while he was in their
presence, load him with other acts of kindness, the
effect of which is only to bo experienced on the wax',
or after he has reached his own home. If he could
carry a ewe cheese on each side, like the bottles of
John Gilpin, they would have no objection to give
them. In fact, there is no bound to the kindness, the
sincere heartfelt kindness, of these people, except his
capacity or willingness to receive. Os course, he
feels all this most warmly for the time ; and while
the impression is strong upon him,he counter-invites
right and left. The goodman is never to be a day
in town without coming to take pot-luck. The la
dies are to come in next winter, on purpose, and
have a month of the amusements of the town, resid
ing in his house. Any of their friends whatever,
even unto the fourth generation, or no generation at
all, he will be delighted to see, whenever they are
in the city. lie throws himself; his bosom, his
house—all, all, open to them. But what is the real
re sult of this ? Jle goes back to town, and resumes
the serious labors of his profession. The roses fade
from his cheeks, and gratitude from his heart. Some
day, when he is up to the cars in a mysterious green
box, like a pig in his trough, ora pullet in a well;
or perhaps some day as hois rushing swiftly along
the streets, intent upon some piece of important
business, his city eves awake upon a vision of the
country, in the shape of that very friend who so
latch - was rendering him so many acts of kindness.
The case is felt at once to boa scrape;—however,
he must make the best of it. With almost breathless
apprehension, he asks Agricola what stay he is go
ing to make in town. What joy—he goes within an
hour to Falkirk tryste ! But, ah 1 this is but a.short
relief. lie comes hack the day alter to-morrow, and
can then spend a day. Well, a day it must be :if
is all settled in a moment; and, three minutes after
having entered the house, Agricola finds himself
shaken by the hand out at the door, which is closed
behind him ere he can well believe that lie has as
yet seen his city friend. He walks a little way in a
confused state of mind, hardly able to say distinctly
that he is himself, or that his late guest is the identi
cal good fellow he seemed to be three months ago.—
The whole appears a dream, and lie thinks it must
be hours since he entered the house, though it is only
minutes. Falkirk tryste over, he comes back, and,
at the appointed hour, attends his city acquaintance,
who, meanwhile, having consulted with his spouse,
has taken the opportunity, since there was to be a
dinner at any rate, to invite all stiff'people he knows,
in order to pay off all his old debts. The honest
agriculturist gets a place among the rest, perhaps a
good one ; but in such a scene he finds no entertain
inent, and hardly gets a word of conversation with
his friend during the whole evening. At the proper
hour, he rises to take his leave among the rest.
The host inquires when lie leaves town—t his is al
ways a leading question for a country friend—hears,
to his unspeakable comfort, that it is to be by the
morning coach—and so good-night. Os course, af
ter this, there is little inducement for Agricola to
send his daughters to spend a month in the house of
his city friend. The girls, however, do come in
somehow or other, and are living with some other
person on a visit, when one day, walking along the
most crowded and fashionable street, they°met
Urbanus arm in arm withhis wife. Seeing that they
have first jierceived him, lie runs forward in the
kindest manner manner, and, after introducing them
to his partner, inquires after every particular indi
vidual left at home. Some miscellaneous talk en
sues, and then, just at the skirts of the conversation,
when they are hovering on the point of separation,
lie throws in—“ You will be sure to see us some
evening before you leave town.” And then—and
then there is no more about it.
A varied case often occurs as follows : A young
Indy of perfect accomplishments, though'of the miib
die ranks of life, happens to lie particularly con
venient to a neighboring family of gentry in the
country, where she is constanly invited by them,
and becomes the bosom friend of all the young la
ilios, but only because her accomplishments are use-
ful to them as a means of spending t heir time. But
this acquaintance, though of use in the county, and
there felt as involving no risk of dignity, becomes
inconvenient when the parties happen in town. The
high-born demoiselle, who elsewhere would have
rushed into the arms of her humble, but ingenious
friend, now tamely shakes her hand, and, xvitli cold
complaisance, addresses her thus : “Mamma is keep
ing no company this winter, but 1 dare sax - she would
be glad to see you some evening to tea; and—good
morning.” Such is the world !
NATUKAI DANCERS.
“Inmy mind,’ says Washington Irving, “there’s
no position more positive and unexceptionable than
that most Frenchmen, dead or alive, are born dan
cers. 1 came pounce upon this discovery at the as
sembly, and I immediately noted it down in mv reg
ister of indisputable facts. The public shall know
all about it. As I never dance cotillions, boldine
them to be monstrous distorters of the human frame,
and tantamount in their operations, to bo broken
and dislocated on the wheel, I generally take occa
sion, while they are going on, to make r.:y remarks
on the company. In the course of these observations,
I was struck xvitli the energy and eloquence of sun
dry limbs, which seemed to be flourishing about,
without appertaining to nnv body. After much in
vestigation and difficulty, I at length traced them to
their respective owners, whom I found to be all
Frenchmen, to a man. Art may have meddled
somewhat in those affairs, hut nature certainly did
more. J hax • sine* been eonsidernhh rmpfnved
in calculations on tl«ia subject, and by tiie most ac
curate computation I have determined that a r rencli
man passes'at least three-fifths of his time between
the heavens and the earth, and partakes eminently
ofthe nature of a gossamer or soap-bubble. One
of these jack-o-lantern lieroes, in taking a figure,
which neither Euclid, nor Pythagoras himself, could
demonstrate, unfortunately wound himsell —I mean
hj s f„ot —his better part—into a lady’s cobweb mus
lin rolio; but perceiving it at the instant, he set him
self a spinning the other way, like a top; unravelled
his step, without omitting one angle or curve, and
extricated himself, without breaking a thread of the
lady’s dress! he then sprung up, like a sturgeon,
crossed his feet four times, and finished this wonder
ful evolution by quivering his left leg, as a cat does
her paw when* she has accidently dipped it in wa
ter. No man, of woman born, who was not a
Frenchman, could have done the like.”

THEIR ARGUMENT ?
Our office was violently assailed, sometime in the
night ot I uesday last, with brick bats, and the large
Sign, which extended across the sideway, was torn down
am! carried away—and found a day or two afterwards,
about half a mile distant. This is an apt illustration of
the doctrines of those who advocate the establishment of
a Military Despotism and Government of Force, under
the much abused and iusult id name of Union—shews
in whnt light they estimate the liberty ofthe Press, and
freedom of opinion.— Aug. Chronicle.

Mr. Webster.—Among the gamblers in polities
—a tribe which has increased w ith fearful rapidity
within the last few years—there is no one who him

An instinct conviction of this, impels him to plsv
recklessly, and bet hi“h. No matter what is turned

Editor in this City, he can quote his own authority

And having nothing to lose, he may safely stake em
pires on a card.
In 1823-’4, Daniel Webster, came out from among
bis old associates of Hartford memory, and offered
his services to the South to put down the Tariff. He
pronounced it unconstitutional in 1820, and was rea
dy in ’24 to unite with the Crawford Party to put p
down. This he dare not deny. lie knows it and
we know; it. Finding, however,- that Adams,”ln
stocking the cards, was turned up trump, he plaved
according, and lost. lie then waited for another
shuffle—and when, (unfortunately for the South.) the
Jack of Clubs was turned up, lie dexterously throws
up his own hand, and takes the widow. To droii
the metaphor—Webster is cut and dry for any man
or any principle that promises most tor himself.—
Yesterday lie denounces the Tariff—to dav sup

( ’arolina—to day he is the champeon ol the bloodv
Hill. And this is the nan who is to he the Cicero af
this Administration ! this pure, and spotless, and
Republican Administration ! The Republican Party
headed by Daniel Webster, Martin Van Burenan'd
Andrew Jackson.
It is well known iu Washington, that Mr. Web
ster has become a great favorite at the Palace ofthe
Czar. The calumet of peace has been smoked be
tween them, and “My Dear Sir” is reciprocally coo
ed between them, soft and sweet as the mumiursof
callow Cygnets, or young doves. Rumor says, that
after undergoing a sweat in the Senate upon the
bloody Hill, Amos Kendall is to take him down into
the Kitchen—wash him—scour him— scrape him—
comb his hair—dress him up_and after pouriuo j
vial of bergamot, or lavender water on him b\*tvav
of extreme unction, he is to go into the Cabinet in
place of Mr. Livingston. Then will this Adminis
tration be perfect in all its parts—and the Republican
Millenium be come ! Then will the Lion and the
Lamb lie down together—the Ass and the Elenkas',
leap lbr joy. Then will A. Jackson, D. Webster.
M. Van Huron and his Editor, “pig together.”—’
Happy People!
