The other day Fodenstein, the nephew of Caroistadt. canoeto me to solicit my influ ence w ith you- He wishes you to i.iarry him- I told him 1 could base uo particular influeuce with you, uules# you have scru ples oi conscience about marry mg. He is a clever young wan, anC i see uo object.ou. Ue is very unlike his i-maiic uncle.’’ He might have talked an hour without re ceiving a reply. Catharine’# manner had changed; there was uo longer the emotion or the hlnsb. “What stiall 1 tell him?” “Any thing you please,” said she, “so that ] nevei see him again ” “Way. this is strange.” said Luther; “you did uot s cut 10 have templesol ct-nscieuce just, noar. My dear Catliaiiue, you must not forget that you have no natural relations here, and tins young in in cau Le a protect- 1 or to you.” Silts made no reply. “Xay, speak ; 1 have every disposition to serve you; has any other person made the same proposals to you l” “Ye 9,” said Catherine, with a little to bianly pride: “Counscllot Baumgartner has made the same propo -ala." “Do you prefer him ?” “Ves,” she replied ; “bill l 4m as happy as l ever expect to he. My friends assure me that l am no burden, but a brlpto tiu-in; and so 1 wish you gooil morning.” Poor Catharine hastened to her room, ller dream was over. Luther, the austere, tiie insensible licfoMiier, had awakened her from it. Margaret entered wine her eyes were yet red with weeping. She tenderly approached aud embraced her ; but neither exchanged a word. “There is no hope for Bodeusteiu,” thought Luther; “it is evident Baumgart ner is the object. Catharine is a child ;if the Elector dies she is without a support, except by the labor of her hands, and they do not look as if they weie made for labor. J will write to Jerome Baumgartner: he is well known as a young counsellor at Nu remburg. Accordingly lie wrote : “15“4, October 12th. “If you would obtain Catharine Vou Borne, hasten here before she is given to an other who proposes for her. She lias not yet conquered her love foryou. I shall rejoice to see you uniied. Luther. The young counsellor received this letter with surprise aud incredulity. The positive reiusal of, Catharine, some months before, had left no doubt on his mind; aud he thuught the wisest plan was to enclose the letter to her, and inquire whether it was writteu with her sanction. In the mean time, Luther's fripnds be gan to urge him to marry, particularly Me iauethon. “You preach,” said lie, “what you do not practice-” lie protested, however, that he would not be caught in the snare; that histitne was now fully occupied. When Catharine received the letter from her former lover, she was filled with astonish ment, and requested Margaret to speak to Luther on the subject. He said he had done what he thought was right and would be agreeable to all parties; but lie found that there was one science he did not nnder stand—the heatt of woman. “That is true,” “said Margaret, “or you would long siuce have perceived, that Cath arine’s was yours, and now the mystery is out.” It required all her eloquence to convince Luthet ofthe truth ofthis assertion ; he was forty, and Catharine but little more than half that number of years ; Ih.lt she could prefer him to her young suitors seemed to him incredible. Margaret, however, had said it. and anew life opened to Luther, in the affection of a young and beautiful wo man. When he spoke to Catharine again on the subject of matrimony, he was more suc cessful than before. He learned the history of her long attachment, which had become so much the revery ol her silent hours. The betrothment took place, aud very soon the marriage followed. DEATH OF LUTHER, On the 1/tli of February he grew so ill, that his friends requested him not to go out. In the evening iie spoke much of liis ap proaching death. Someone asked him if he thought we should know o 10 another in the future world , he replied with energy, “i truly believe so.” When lie entered his chamber with his friends and sous, he re mained a long time at prayer. Afterwards he said 10 the physician who arrived, “I am very weak anil my sufferings increase.” They gave him drops and tried to restore heat by tric*ion. He spoke affectionately to Count Albert, who was near him, and said, “1 will lie down and try to sleep a half an hour. I think J shall feel relieved.” lie composed himself, soon fell asleep, and did not awake for an hour and a half. When he opened his eyes lie said, “Are you all still setting here ! Why do you not' go to your repose !” It was eleven, at night. lie then began to pray most fervently in Latin, “/n manus tuas comm endo spiritum maim , JDtmine, Deus veritatis. Pray, all of \on, iny friends, that the reign of our Lord mav be extended, for the Council of Trent anil the Pope are full of threatenings.” Again he dosed his eyes and slept for a short time. When he awoke lie requested to rise aid went to the window and looked out upon the winter landscape, the clear heavens, the shining stars, the light of the pale tnoon glittering on the frosty hill tops.' “My dear friends,” said he, “{ was born 111 Eisleben. and here. I believe, 1 shall rest.” He then prayed most devoutly. There was an evident change tti hiscountenance, which induced his friends to summon the physi cians. Count and Countess Albert also has tened to his room. He turned to them and said, “Beloved friends, 1 die here.” He begged them all to bear testimony that he died in the faith lie had taught. 11 is | rav ■ers continued fervent, till suddenly his eyes Hosed. Clasping Ids hands together, with out a struggle lie breathed his last. DEATH WAP.RANT OF JESUS CHRIST.

The above sentence is engraved on a cop perplate; on one side are written these words ••A similar plate is sent to each tribe.’ It was found in an aucient vase ot white mar ble, while excavating in the adcient city of AquilJa, in the kingdom of Naples, in the year 1820, and was discovered by the Com missaries of Arts attached to the French ar mies. At the expedition of Naples, it was (omul eu'lust'd in a box of ebony, in the sa cristy of the Chartrem. The vase in the chapel of Caecrta. TheFier.ch translation was made by the members of the Commis sion of Arts. The original is in the Hebrew language.

On one side was the representation of a palm leaf, on the other, a picture of ihe temple, with the words underneath, ‘Ho'y Jerusa lem,’ in the Hebrew tongue. Relics like these, properly authenticated, have sibout them an inexpressible sneredness and mo ment. They seem to blend two worlds, and to carry human curiosity from the finite to the infinite.— •Plitladcljiliia Gaz. Anecdote 0/ Sir Walter Scott. —One day, when he had taken them (Mrs. Heinaus children) both out to walk with him, they were so emboldened by his condescending good nature, that one of them, thiuking it an excellent opportunity to settle a question which lie had often heard speculated upon at home, daringly inquired, “Sir Walter, what did you mean by those two lines in the Lady of thciLakc ' Fox glove and nightshade, side by side, Emblems of puni- hment and pride ? mamma has always b• en dying to know, and aunt Harriet has been puzzling about it all her life. “Why, my dear little fellow,” answered the benignant hard, “1 can only hope, when you write poetry, that you will make much better sense of it ; for these emblems, ir fact, are very bad ones. 1 merely chose the foxglove to exemplify pride, from its being so tall and stately; and nightshade, you know, is poisonous, an I so might be made the means of punishment; but 1 be lieve hemlock would have been more to the purpose.”— Memoir of Mrs. Hemans. A friend relates the following incident as having occurred at a counting-room of Mr. , not many miles from somewhere in this city. A number of gentlemen, for the lack of other objects, were each stating what use he would make of tnoiry if he was wealthy. A clerk in tho establishment stood by aud said nothing. At a pause in the conversation, one turned to him and said—-“ Well Jim, if you wen- rich, what would you do?" “1 would ask M-. for his daughter M.rry." Mr. looked sur prised: the bystanders saw the object, and lent a hand, and Jim has the prospect of having both his wishes gratified, wealth and Mary. No names, upon honor!—-V. Y. Gaz.

Ue turned into the singing desk, where he naturally attracted much attention, which was considerable increased when lie gave out the first line of. the hymn, “Behold the bright nar of my face-"— Tha congrega tion could no longer preserve their gravity, and an involuntary laugh burst from every corner ofthe chapel, B hat icon't a Yankee do. —According to the Toledo Blade, one of tlie “universal Yankee nation” who has for sometime re sided in Ohio, and now being incline to '■migrate to Texas, is finishing a craft at Toledo of about 20 tons burthen, which was ten miles from any navigable stream, the heart of tiie forest, diawn o the water by the use of oxen and launched.

Mr Barclays’s substitute was again offered and discussed. Nothing definite was done until the hour of adjournment last nigh*. P. S. In the Senate on yesterday there was some very interesting speaking, and re sulted favorably for the friends of the great State work as above noticed. The billowing Preamble and Resolution, were laid on the table by Mr. Bates, (for merly ol Hall, now of Murray county.) - Whereas, the measures oi' the Federal Government under the administration of Martin Van Buren, have met the decided approbation of a large majority ut the citi zens ol this State, aud are of a character, in the opinion of this General Assembly, to eutirle him to re-election for another Presi dential term. And whereas the high char acter and long and faithful serviees of John Forsyth, make him the favorite son of Goor g’», and the r onsetsieney of the ‘principle? and his able and unwavering support of the great republican interest of bis country, strongly recommend, him. to the Demo cratic pany of the United States, for the Vice Presidency of the United States. Be it therefore resolved by tbe Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Georgia in General Assembly met, and it is heieby resolved. That Alartiu Van Buren, aud John Forsyth, be recommended by this General Assembly, to the Democracy of the United States, and to the people of this State. The former for re-electiou to the office of President of the United States, the latter for the office of Vice President. Possessing no pretentious to any extraor dinary perception of the ridiculous, it is morally impossible for me, without au ex citement of my v isible facilities, to glance evn momentarily at the language of this unblushing concoction of political hardi hood, (I had almost written falsehoods.) The overwhelming majority of Van’s frieuds in Georgia, was certaiuly most apparent in tlie conte.-t betweeu himself and Judge White, and more recently declared in terms not 10 he misunderstood in the elections for Congressional members. And as relates to the "consistency” of “John Forsyth’s political principles,” ex cuse me, Mr. Bates, if you please. Tiie “Democracy” of other parts of the Union, may possiblv be humbugged iuto a belief of it it is true, but as to the "sons of Georgia,” I would say to Mr Bates, “tell it not in Gath, pubiisit it not in the streets of Aska lon.” Nov. 28, 1839. The House are yet deeply engaged in Ihe discussion ofthe Bank bill. Messrs. Nliiler. Stephens, McDougald, Ward, Crawford, Tarver, aud Flournoy, have addressed the Hnusetoday. 1 listened with tin ordinary pleasure to this highly interesting discus sion.

This Branch ot the Legislature was closely engaged on yesterday in discussing by sections, the Bank Bill, and the various substitutes and amendments submitted No definite action is yc had, audits the de tail of this debate would, with out very lengthy explanations, be unsatisfactory it is deen ed expedient to await the ultimate ac tion of the Senate, and if the Bill is adop ted, I will then send you a lnu.seript ol the same as passed.

November 30th, 1839. I-rom a vote taken m the House this morning upon a report, it is apprehended that this Legislature will refuse the animal appropraitiou to Franklin College, the friends of the app.opriation were in a min ortty by tern, but the House is thin to-day. It will be cruel injustice to permit this In stitution, so long fostered, and so dear to Georgia, to dwindle into insignificance, by the ungenerous withdrawal from it, of the small pittance annually bestowed. The Senate are yet quarrelling over sub stitutes and auieudmeots to the Bank Bill. Never perhaps was there a contrariety of opinions, such a division of sub-divisions iu parties, as appear in this matter. At length the vote has been caßt upon the alljimportant Bank Bill, in the Senate, and with all its imperfection, it is consigned “to the tomb of the Capulets.’’ The y t»s and nays were recorded about dark this evening, and (there being a thin attendance of Sen ators) stands, yeas 30, nays 41. On Monday we shall doubtless be called to witue.-s a spirited renewal of this inter esting, but very protracted debate, in tho form of a motion tor reconsideration. As | Sunday intervenes, doubtles much intiigue and elecrionering will be bro*’gbt to bear we confidently hope however, unsuccessful ly. The disturbed monetary affairs of the country, demands unquestionably some ac tion, but not such as this bill so flagrantly violative of the Constitution, in impairing the obligations of contracts, proposes. U. S. CONGRESS. Correspondence ot the Baltimore Patriot. Washington Nov. 29, 1839. The Iloti. William C. Dawson, cf Geor gia, arrived in town to day or last evening, ami is in tine health and spirits. His usual Slow of good nature and vivacity was made, manifest as soon as he arrived among us; and if there were among the tnaiiv who shook his hand, tho6ewlio did not wish to see him ascend 'lie chair of the Speaker, 1 am sure there was not one who will not cr\ “God ; speed him well.” Os all the men in the House who possess the art of pleasing, Air. Dawson is the most successful. The National Ini-liigenccrof to-day states that the Hon. Francis W. Pickens is de tained at home by severe indisposition in liis ' family. Mr? Pickens will, however, 1 am ' informed, be iu tbe city to morrow evening or : Sunday morning. Botii parties are actively engaged in cau cusing, and iu making every necessary pre partition forthe coming contest. The issue remains to be toid. Whoever succeeds, will obtain success after a hard struggle, and by a close vote. Air. Grundy. I hear, will resign the office of Attorney General, anil take the seat in the Senate, to which he has been elected. Fe lix is a shrewd politician and a li cky fellow. He always manages to have his poiringcr right side up. When he found that Ten ue-see had been captured by Judge White and John Bell, and saw, or thought lie saw. that he would soon be left iu the ‘-vocative,” h>- resigned his seat in the S; tn-te, ad was appointed Attorney General. 11c is in,w ».f opinion that Tenne sec is safe, and will not iustiucl him out, and up he goes again to Hie Senate for six years—a period that will retain him iu office until Mr. Van Buien’s second term expires, if he is elected. In the year 1812, it I recoiled rigid, he happened to get on the shelf. He then o pened in Tennessee, and after coin ting Gen. Jackson for a series of years, got ii.to office again.. From that day lie has been on ti c alert to keep in, and has suci cede ! most ad mirably. lie intends to live in ? ice, die in office, and be embalmed in nine. Nothing lias occured since yesterday to change the aspect ofthe political signs, or to lead to any other conclusions in rci.itina to the election of Speaker, than those here tofore tx pressed.

At the close ol *.he first day of the session, which promised so much excitement, we are all "calm as ~ summer’s morning” licit. Crowds invested every nook and corner of the Hall of Representatives to-day. The galleries were tilled to overflowing—aud that ol the ladies, gave dazzling assurance of ibe display of youth and beauty, we may expect ou all occasions of excitement. Thoss. however, who were attracted by the hope es a "scene” a gladiatorial spectacle—noise and confusion—or a tempest ofdchnte, must have been greatly disappointed. '1 here was noth ing alt his kind, in truth, with the excep tion of two or three short speeches, the dis cussion was insufferably prosy and pointless —wishy waaliy repetition ofargumeuts that have been urged more ably in every publid journal already—and wretched rhetorical twaddle about the rights of the people, sov ereign state* Ac.
