[as Tlll'E A STOKtf A* E' ER "AS W Itl l l t-V.] “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.

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.” LINES FOB A VOl’Stt LADVS ALBUM. Sil F. (i. 11.
