Those who hive hat the experiment of tickling their feet tried upoa them, can easily imagine the re finement. ot that torture which a person must endure, when so-bound as to be unable to resist.

Effects f Ti< kling.—Mrs. de. L** mixed much with the fashionable world last winter, accompanied by her daughter Emily. Young and handsome, the lat ter was the object ot general attention. Although without lot tune, she rate ved many advantageous pi op;,sals for her hand—but as her heart remained unaffect ed, she selected from the crowd of her admirers Mr. de V** as the one best suited to gratify her amour propre; he was about foi ty, rich and respected—he adored her and would thus make her hap py. Emily made a confident of her mo ther who could not avoid expressing her surprise at the selection. Mr. de” V’** had already lost two wives—there was a disparity in their ages, and she felt an in vincible repugnance for which she could not account, to the union. Emily tho’t so good an opportunity of securing a rich establishment might not again present her mother yielded, and she was married to Mr. de Y*. Some time after, Emi ly's brother urged her to frankly confess | to him, whether she had realized the hap piness win h she had anticipated from the union. ‘I have indeed, said she, my hus band anticipates iny every wish, and would render me fully happy.* but fora singular request which he has made, and which as 1 cannot understand- the object, troubles me, and I have to refuse it * It must be very silly, replied his sister— you would never imagine what. jDnly think of a request to bind myself with le bandage*—in a word to be a living cupy ot ao Egyptian mummy. ® caprice, surprised . Edward full as much as it had bis sister, f His curiosity was too stroagiy excited to he spent in imaginings, and he urged his sister to yield, but with the condition that he should, unknown to the husband, be stationed during the operation in an adjoning room. Thus placed, his sister informed her husband that she had determined to yield to his request Wild with joy at this information, the husband found not words to express his gratitude, yet promptly commenced his operations. Edward listened attentively. Profound silence reigned for some minutes in the room his sister broke it by saying in a trembling tone.‘and the arms too?’ He involuntarily trembled as if they were to be the last words of his sister. Yes. ray dear, replied the husband gaily, I beg you —head and feet only, free; just like a Mummy, yoa know. All was again qui et—the silence lasted so long as again to frighten Edward, and he was upon the point of entering the room, when his sis ter commenced laughing most immoder ately—he felt assured and listened. E indy stopped, and all was again silent. Again she laughed and more immoderate ly than before, and again all was silent. This tomb like repose, broken by loud and immoderate laughter, and succeding the laughter, was alarming—he knew not what to think of it, and burst into the room. At his appearance Mr.de V. fled, and Edward found his unfortunate sister stretched on the floor cold and in&nim-ite Her husband had bound her, that he might freely tickl® her ffet /tooth er tit of laughing, and Etnily would have followed the two other wives of Mr. de V.

Mr. Sanford presented the Memorial of sundry citizens of the city of New York remoostarting against the removal of the Indians from the lands which they novy occupy in the several States; which was referred to the Committee on Indian af fairs. Mr. Burnet moved that the memorial presented by the gentleman from New York (Mr Sanford) be printed for the use of the Senate, when the reading of the memorial wa called for. Before |the Secretary had finished read ing the inemoiiai. Ur. Beil moved that the further reading of it be dispens* and with. Mr. Troup wished that one of the mo tions should prevail—that it might be read, or printed. He was desirous to as certain distinctly, not only the matter ii . contained, but (he manner in which it wa9 set forth, in older that the Senate might be prepared to make a suitable disposition of it. Mr Burnet then observed, that if it would be in order, he would withdraw his motion. Mr. Forsyth said, that this memorial hau been already disposed of, by a refer ence to the committee on Indian Affairs; but from the manner in which it was pre | seated, he was not aware of its true char acter at the time he acquiesced in its going to that committee. If he had known its object, he would have opposed it at the first moment it was introduced; and he would now move, that the vote, by which l it was referred to the Committee on Indi an Affairs, be reconsidered, and that the memorial be laid on the table, in order that the Senate may have an opportunity of disposing of it in a manner suitable to its merits. The chair then suggested that it would be in order to discharge the committee trom the further consideration of the me ; omrial. j Mr Forsyth made that motion. Mr. Sanford was opposed to this motion: and was apprehensive that the design of the memorial was not perfectly under stood. He stated briefly its objects.- it . related, he said, to the condition of the Indians Still, if gentlemen were desir ous tohave full time to examine its con tencs, investigate its character, and the ends it has in view, previous to printing, he had not the least objection. Mr. Forsyth repeated that he was en tirely unaware of rhe character of the document, until he had partly heard it He had at first supposed it related |to the Indians within the United Sui ei generally; but if he now uoderst .) . t was the production of a Coanrnitu>e, v, pointed by a meeting lately held i„’ city of New York, for the purpose of t,. king into consideration the condition the Indians in a paiticluay section of the Union; and that it impeached the motive* and conduct of some of the southern §t Us *’ As this document, then referred no’ to the Indians generally, but partly to the State represented by himself and bis c -|. league, with regard to those Indians with in her limits, Mr. Forsyth wished it to be laid on the t bie, that an opportunity might be given them to examine more minutely ialo its character,. If the |, UI . guage of the memorial the conduct of the State represented by* them*, he and his colleague would find no <|;{g. culty, in deciding on (he course proper to be persued in relation t<> it; b it if it did not impeach the conduct of his State, h ftho’uldlmake no object.o-s to printing, until it should be ascertained that the memorial was worthy publication. Vlr, Forsyth concluded, by expressing hi* hopes, that the motion unde by him might; prevail in order that the document might be laid in the table wi h a view to a fujj and complete examination, of i‘s tenor and effect.
