In proof of the possi— bditv ofthis last change, I olfor myself deuce.

Yet itnpo s.tion on my good nature and harmlcssnes commenced before I was out of the cradle My sister and I wore twins, hut not in dispo sition ; she was a bright lively, vixenish liltie tiling, pretty and mischievous as a fairy—th*—. reverse of myself, except in similarity of lea ture ; and, though younger bv linlfan hone- was my master, and everybody’s masternbon tie house. Sae neither sucked her nor loved to sit in a little chair; she mild be— nursed, and mimed well—which, in I mgnngo, means being ros-ed up to the ceiling talked, shouted, anti sung to, from till night.

I bar! an immense an hete rugoueous assemblage of friends and acquain tance; und circuinstuuces also placed me in positions where I had an extensive power of expressing my opinions. Ido not think there is tiny possible combination oflaudatory words : with which I am not acquainted—which I have not in some shape applied to every living creature I know ; and what was my reward ? All made use of me, and yet scarcely con sidered my services worthy of thanks ; and at Inst a wit whom | h id puffed, cv m to the last pufF, remarked in an aside, meant to be audible, that if my words could be distil cd and bottled, j they might be hung against peach-trees t" catch wasps with, instead of honey-water! In privuto, my good nature equally or even mare signally failed. Fronvmy multitudinous connexions, I had the mortification of bearing everyone I knew and cared for, severally and soundly abused. Jt was in vain 1 disproved, proved, and reproved—the more I tried to stop the scandal, the f.i-ter it moved—it was Myn heer Von Wodenblock’s enchanted leg. Surely I was a true friend ! How I travelled from "circle to circle the perfect genius of laudation, and the personification of^Thomson’s “etherinl mildness !” lam afraid there was a little alloy in my motive springing from the timidity of ;nv nature; hating and dreading Censure myself, I suppose every one else hate and dreaded it equally ; and I ho|>ed, that if I was so generous in administering praise, others would he us generous in making a return. 1 found out nl last, that the majority of persons in the world —persons, rather, who lived be fore the world—do not care What or how much is said of them ; and that the major part of the ill nature in the world is oftner the result of wit and idleness, than of sheer mal ce and intention. But these pruiseful moods of mine nrelongsince past; Ino longer tax my memory lo carry to this friend the compliment I heard paid him by that; Ino longer transmit to one author the eulogy penned upon him by another; lean join in a laugh at my neighbour’s ex pense; and instead of discreetly forgetting a witty libel, I can help to affix it to the hack it was meant for. It was in self defeat e that I suffered my transcendental good nature to ooze from me; [ found that I was invariably reckoned on ns a sure man ; I found that not more than a fLw did justice to my real kind ness of heart; I found that, with ail my sparing of others, I was never spared myself; or, if spared, was laughed at: I found myself slighted in public and passed over in parties ; no one asked my opinion, and no one listened to my remarks — Augusta sintgs, but no one hears her; Augusta sings, but no one cheers her. I was such a good creature” that every one treated me badly, till self-love would bear it no longer, mid I determined t o amend. Since I altered my tactics, it is astonishing how much mv position iu society is improved — how much more attention I gain—and how much better I inn thought us. lean now barb an epigram with the best, (and may in time come to dip the point ia poison.) I can twist a meaning, suggest a motive, affix it soubriquet, arid wings ton personal joke,sneer in print, talk scandal in private, and cut throats in my dreams. And I am better liked—have gu'neil a charac ter for being clever, whilst my personal com fort is increased. People who ventured to slight mo in my good-natured days, arc paia gona of attention to me, now that I am good injured no longer. lam listened to when I speak ; and if [ promise a service, it is no lon ger considered a l ight but a favor. The only (lunger is,that I may go too fur: and in my escape from an excess of complimentary, obliging, officious desire to please, may be come really spiteful—as indiscriminate in my sarcasms ns I once was in my praise. I some times fear that I may prove, that very sour vinegar can be made from very sweet sugar. “Hallo, you man with the pail and frock,” said a British officer, as lie brought Ins fiery steed to a stand in front of Gov. Cnitteriden’s dwelling —“ can you inform me whether hts Honor die Governor of Vermont resides Ik re ?” “He does,” was the response of the man, still wending bis way to the pig-stye. “ Is his honor at home ?” continued the man of the spurs . “ Most certainly,” replied the man of th 6 frock. “Take my horse by the bit then,” said the officer, “ I have some business to transact with your mu’tier.” Without a second bidding, the man did as re quested, and the officer alighted and made his j wav up to the door and gave the pannel several hearty U'ps with the but of his riding whip— j for be it known, in those days of republican simplicity, knockers, bolls, and servants were in but little use. The good dame of the house answered the summons in person ; and having seated the officer; and ascertained his desire lo see the Governor, departed to inform her husband of the guests’ arrival, but on ascer taining that the officer had made a hitching post 0 f her husband, she immediately returned and j informed him that the Governor was engaged tin the yard, and could not very well wait upon his ll" n0r an< his horse nt the same time. The predicament of!** officer can bettor be imngin. p<| than described. The lonurng which men continually feel for rest while engaged in the struggles and stormy turmoils of life, is uu unconscious tending of the heart toward* its natural goal, the Grave. MATRIMONIAL LOTTF.RV. A recent traveller iu tl* (dinted Spates give* a curious account of n matrimonial lottery, which was tunned with beneficial ejects, however smgu ar it may seem. “ On the ii Ist day o* l/ecemljer last,” says he, “ I was passing through tl« State of South Carolina, and in the evening arrived iu ti* suburbs of tl.e town of , where 1 hud an acquaintance on w hom 1 culled. I was quick ly informed that the family was invited to u weddmg'iu a neighboring bouse ; and on being requested, I changed my dollies and went with tlicm. As soon as ti.e young couple were married, the company was seated, uuda profound silence ensued. A young iawyor than arose and addressed the company very eloquently ; and in finishing his daroun-es, begged leave to offer anew scheme of Matri mony, which be believed would be txa.eficial, and on obtaining leave he proposed—“ That one man in thu company should be selected ns president, should be duly sworn to keep en tirely secret all the communications thatsbould be forwarded to him in his official department that night, and that each unmarried gentlemen and lady should write his or her name ou a piece of paper and under it place the name of the person they wished to marry ; then hand it to the president for inspection : and if any gentleman »nd lady had reciprocally chosen each other, the president was to inform each of the result ; and tlio r>e who had not been reciprocal iu their choice, kept entitely se cret. “ After the appointment of the president those communications were accordingly han-, tied up to theclmir, and it was found that twelve young gentlemen & ladies had made reciprocal choices ; but whom they had chosen, remain ed a.secret to all but themselves and the presi dent. The conversation changed mid th* company respectively retired. *• Now hear the conclusion. I was passing through the same place on the 14th of March following, and was informed that eleven of the twelve matches had l>een solemnized ; and the young gentlemen of eight couple of the eleven : had declared t nit their diflicence was so great that they certainly should rnt have addressed their respective wives if the above scheme had not Leen introduced.” THERE IS DEATH IN A SLIGHT COLD. Wc extract from the third number of a series of essays on health and disease, which have appeared in the Saturday Chronicle the fol lowing paragraph full of eloquence and un erring truth : “ And here let me impress upon my fair ! readers the necessity of guarding against a cold by warm stockings, furred shoes, and an adequacy of woolen clothii g. Beauty is only to be preserved with health, and the highest state of health is always accompanied with the most attractive personal charms. Neglecting those salutary precautions which common sense dictates, many, full victims to their im prudence. We have seen the young bride, blooming as it were, as the bird of paradise and the fair flower of hope, the pride of her father und the joy of her men her-—l .er cheek flashed with anticipation, and Iter eye beaming with 'soft expressions of love—the gay dreams of life dancing on her fancy with the rich und varinguted tints of the rainbow’s promise; we have seen all this—changed—aye, the wed ding garment for a shroud, and the bridal cham!>er for the sepulchre of the dead—and all .this from neglecting a common cold.” NO. 28. Touching hair, I never cared w’mt the color of a woman’s was. My love laughs at locks as well as locksmith. Still I have made my observations in an uuobstrusive way, and with the eye of the simpleton. Red-haired women, I have discovered, aie usually the liveliest of their sex, but also the most change able (never, however, r/ou/i/rj-minded. There is an absolute passion for coquetry in them : you can no more steady them to one object, 1. f. yourself, of course, than you can fix a ball of Quicksilver. Avery vain man, if he have more regard for his soul’s weal than his heart’s, will be particularly sweet on this class, lot they never fail to teach him by many bitter lessons all the hollo wuess of the pMosopliy’ of self-love. The raven-black are not always, as |>eople fancy, the most impassioned—unless they hap pen to from Spain or Italy. Os the Brown it is difficult to appreciate anything in n general way, except that their perceptions are usually very acute; —their affections also are easily wounded; they are of the nervous tempera ment ; and 1 apprehend that more broken hearts are found among these than among the others. I have noticed that as to both intellect and feeling much in nil cases depends on the size of the brain, and more on its- activity. 1 believe, but am not positive that D’lsraeli (the Younger) asserts that very great self posses, sion in woman indicates want of heart. I disagree: in my opinion it merely shows a capacity for concentration of thought.
