THE WRONG LETTER. The following ludicrous incident in ‘Dandy Nat's Courtship,’ is a warning to absent-minded, love sirkswuins to beware that they have nothing but the right letter in their wai&tcoal pocket when they tender the missives of Cupid to their ladyUoves: • Having finished bis elaborate verses. Dandy Nat folded t lie note carefully, and sticking it into the pocket of his sprig pattern vest, after a careful toilette, sal lied forth to visit the fair milliner. Mas ry, herself, opened the door, and with n smiling and blushing countenance, invi ted the visitor to enter. Nat stammered out something intended for a greeting, ! and followed her into the parlor, treading on the tail of a slumbering cat, which forthwith stuck her claws In his nankeens. Mary dragged off thejcat and b.mt her, but it was evident that this had by no means tended (o strengthen the poor man’s nerves. ‘Nice day, Miss,* said Nat, Bolting out the words. ‘Do you really think so, Mr. Higgins? 1 am afraid it is raining a little.’ Poor Nat had made a bad shot, so lie was obliged to sav he rather liked rain than otherwise. There was a long pause, when Mary enquired : ‘Are you going to the dance, next Monday, Mr. Higgins ?’ ‘Oh, yes, certainly,’ replied Nat, very quickly—then checking himself—‘that is —no—at least Tin not certain, it de pends on one thing—**—’ Here lie stam mered and looked so queer, that Miss Jenkins enqttiredlif he were ill. ‘Oh no —that is—yes not exactly: but here, you see—’ stuttered the little man, laying his hand upon his waistcoat. ‘A pain in the chest ? said Mary, ut terly nnconciotis. ‘Colds are so very much about. Have you tried (hose new wafers Mr. Drury sells ? ‘No-o-o-o !’ said poor Nat, ‘not exact ly. You see that it's not that; it's not bodily illness—’ and here he put on such a diabolical leer, that Mary did not flbw whether to laugh or scream. She certainly thought lie was mad. av, Mr, lliggins, excuse me. ;:x P *r opMr a, “ ul ” ‘Oh. yes—exactly—no—good-bye— stay. Miss Jenkins.’ He put bis band into’ bis waistcoat pocket, thrust a piece of paper into her linnd, saying, ‘Read that!’ with a half despairing look, and rushed out of the bouse, nearly breaking his neck over the sleepy cat, who, however, had no time to stick her claws a second time into his nan keens, before he escaped. In an agony of mind, Dandy Nat rushed to bis own shop. He was dreadfully afraid he had made a bad impression. He began to wonder why be had not said half a hun dred fine things, that seemed to come so naturally into his head now. He tried to recollect what he had said, but lie could not remember anything except that bis leg w as still sore from the indentations of the cat’s claws! ‘Confound the cat !’ he muttlered; ‘it was she that put everything out of my head ! Well, never mind. If that girl has a heart, 1 don’t think she can resist those verses.’ With that thought he consoled himself and then fell into a fit of musing, which lasted half an hour. He was aroused by a boy knocking at Ins door, who, on his opening it, thrust a letter into his hand. ‘From M iss Jenkins,’ said the urchin; I •no answer.’ Willi trembling hands he seited the sweet missive, and breaking the seal opened it. An enclosure fell to the ground, but, before stopping to pick it up he read the note which was in her hand writing, and was ns follows: ‘Miss Jenkins’ compliments to Mr. Higgins, and returns him the paper he left with Miss J. She cannot understand what Mr. Higgins could mean in giving the note to her, as it cannot possibly be an affair of hers. J( Mr. Higgins means that be is in want of a small loan, no doubt her mamma will be happy to sup ply Mr. Higgins; but he really should ap ply in a less extraordinary manner., A horrid doubt seized poor Higgins as lie read this letter; he thrust his hand into his pocket. The verses were still there ! He picked up the enclosure which had fallen from Mary’s note. Alas, it was a dunning epistle from the laundress that washed and did for him:’ Mr. Higgins— sir—l doant konsider yor condict be cummin of a jeutiernan not too meniion an arodresser not to pay tlie 2 ami 9as yon o me so long a poor loan widder and dial sununins you lo Cos wme Korle if not pade at wunce. marejones. The uuliappy Nat never moved for half an hour after this horrid catastrophe. His first sane action, was to run ofT to the nearest railway station, and hook himself for London. He lias never visited ‘our villiage,’ since that day; but, to his honor be it said, though he always vows that ‘mare jones’ blighted the hopes of iiis heart, lie did settle accounts with his laudress. No man is free who cannot command himself. ‘Oh, nothing- is more natural for a lit erary lady than to double clown a page.’ *7 would rather,’ replied his lordship, ‘advise Ltfdy Caroline to turn ovor anew leaf.’ ‘/t is very curious,’ said an old gentle* tnan to hi* friend, ‘ that a watch should bs perfectly dry when it has a running spring inside.’ hi the course of his luminous argu ment, kfrCfey, addressing the ultras, cried out with tile voice of a stentor: * What do you want ? A tight little Irishman, who had been ! making some noise while trying to escape • fiom the crush near the gallery door in side, replied quite audibly, suppoking he was addressed : ‘1 want to get out ?’ Genteel people. —The young lady who lets her mother do the irining, for fear of spreading her hands. The miss who wears thin shoes on a rainy day, and the young gentleman who is ashamed to be seen with his father. ‘Mamma, may 1 go a fishing?’ Yes sonney, but dont go too near the water. And recollect if you’re drowned, I shall skin you as sure as you are alive !’ •Come down from that building, and I’ll knock your head off!’ ‘You will, will you ?’ Yes, you scoundrel, I will.’ Then I guess, upon the whole—l shan’t come done !* •Look here Pete,’ said a knowing dar key to his companiou, ‘dont stand dar on de railroad.’ ‘Why, Joe!’ ‘Kase, if de cars see dat mouf ub yourn dev will tink it am de depo,’ and run rite ini’ A young gentleman asked a young lady one'day ‘what she thought of the marriage state in general ?’ ‘Not know ing cant tell,’ was the reply, ‘but if you and i were to put our heads together, 1 could soon give you a definite answer.’ Anoch says he knew a man who sat up all night because be couldn’t decide which to take oIT first, his coat or his bools! knowledge sorrow increases,’ as the chap said when he found out he had drawn a blank in the lottery. A young man in Schenectady, on be ing crossed in love last week, seized a dumpling and dashed its brais> out.— He was a corporal of the PizesincMtm Guards. Philanthropic —Among the prominent benevolent objects of the day, for the re lief of the downtrodden female race, we perceive the call in the New York papers for the furmniion of a society for the am elioration of the condition of women with snoring husbands. Lovely. —An interrogatory of silver sweetness, and an answer of diamond beauty, are rontined in the following me thod of getting logo home with her: The moon shines bright; Can I go home with you to night. Answer:— The stars do too ; 1 don’t care if you do. “When are you going to commence the pork business?’ asked a person of an other, who had a sty in the eye. ‘Ex plain !’ said the afflicted one, ‘Why, I see that you have your sty ready.’ True, was the reply,’ I have got one hog in my eye now.’ The new costume. —A young woman dressed in the latest female foshion—straw hat with broad brim and round crown, a large cape and trowsers—last evening, in company with a gentleman, promenaded the saloon of the steamboat Isaac New ton, on Iter way from Albany to this city, to attract die attention of the passengers, which was probably what she most de sired*—N.Y.

He requested to see him and after acknowledging his error, lie said, ‘I have one question to usk you ; how were you able wmli such patience, on various occasions to bear my abuse V ‘Friend,’ replied the Quaker, 1 was naturally as hot and as violent as thou art. I knew that to indulge this temper was sinful; and 1 found that it is in u passion always spake aloud; and I thought if 1 could controlo my voire, 1 should repress my passion. I have, therefore, made it a rule never to suffer my voice to rise above a certain key; and by a carful observance of this rule, I bftve, by the blessing of God, en tirely mustard my natural temper.’ The Quaker reasoned philosophically, nnd the merchant, as every one else may do, benefited by his examplenary tone, aud you will never quarrel.

At this time my attending physician prescribed the “Hebrew Plaster,” and it acted like a charm; the pain left me, and 1 slept more than half of the night, and in three days I was able to ride out.

SICKLY AND UNHAPPY WIVES. Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman in Dayton, ©. “Datton, May 1,1547. • D*. A. M. Maubicxau—Afy Dear Sir: • The Married Woman's Private Medical Companion,’ for which I enclosed one dollar to your address, came safely to band. I would not have troubled you with these few lines, but that I am impelled by a sense of gratitude, for myself and wife, to give utterance to our sincere and heartfelt emotions. “My wife has been perceptibly sinking for tome three years or more, in consequence of her great an guish and suffering some months before and during confinement; every successive one more and more debilitated and prostrated her, putting her life in im minent danger, and which was, on the last occasion, despaired o£ I supposed that this state of things was inevitable, and resigned myself to meet tha worst. At this time (now about two months) 1 heard your book highly spokeo of. as containing some matters reaching my case. On its receipt and perusal, 1 can not express to you the relief it afforded my distressed mind and the joy its pages imparted to my wife, on learning that tbo greet discovery of M. M. Deso mcaux provided a remedy. It opened a prospect to me which 1 little conceived was possible. No pecu diary consideration can ever repay the obligations I am under to you for having been the moans of im parting to ns the matters contained in * The Married Woman’s Private Medical Companion.’ But for this, ere another year would have passed over my hetd, in til human probability my wife would bars been in her grave, and my children left motherless. Extract from a tetter. Competence and Health. “Lancaster, Pa., Oct. 94,1847. “Mr Dear Sir: I know yon will hare the kind ness to bear with me tn encroaching upon your time, while I acknowledge (tn behalf of myself and wife) the obligations we feel ourselves under to you in hav ing made known ceilain matters, contained In yonr most invaluable * Married Womsn’a Private Medical Companion.’ It has been worth its weight in gold to me. If I express myself rather warmly, yea will see thst I can not do so too warmly, when I inform you of the extent to which I have, through it, been benefited. 1 will state my situation when I obtained your book through the mereet cariosity I look upon it as one of the moat fortunate events of rev life. 1 had been married some ten years, and was the father of seven children. I was long struggling unceasingly, to the end that 1 might gain a moderate competency, but the resuita of my utmost exertions at the end left roe about where 1 was at the beginning of each year; and that only, with the most stinted economy, snffl eiug with barely the necessaries of life. Finally, this oonstant effort was beginning to have its effect upon my health: I felt less capable to endure its continu ance, while I felt the necessity of perseverance. “ This constant, unceasing struggle on my part was Imperative, in consequence of the prostrated condi tion of my wife fwith occasional intermission) for six years, much of the time confined to her bed. and of course incapable of taking tho charge and manage ment of household affairs. Her condition arose from causes of which I was ignorant. Oh! what would I have given had 1 the six years to live over again ! What would my wife have given to have been spared the long days und still longer nights prostrate on a bed of sickness!—all of which would have been •voided, had I then seen s copy of ‘ The Marries Woman’s Private Medical Companion.'” From a Physician.
