But I seo my Jt'ance —excuse me—1 must walk through the next <)uadnlle with her\ V rank Belmont was a stranger in Bos ton,—a New Yorker—immensely nch and fashionable, but his reputation had not pre ceded biro, and Charley Hastings was the only man who knew him in New England. He procured an lalrndutUon to the beauty from one of the mai.aggers, and soon dunced ntid talked lumnelf into her good giaees — In fact it was n cleur case of lotc at first Mght on b -ith sides. j The enamored pair were sitting apart enjoying a most delightful tetta tcte. Sud- deJily BelmoDl hoawd a deep sigh. \Why do \ou sigh, Mr. Delmont 9 \ asked the fair Julia, somewhat pleased with this proof of sensibility. \ Is not this a gay scene 1 \' \Alas! yes,\ replied Belmont, gloomi ly, \ but fate does not permit me to mingle habitually in scenes like this. They only make my ordinary life doubly gloomly— and eien here I seem to see a fiend waving rao away. What right have I to be here!\ \ What 6end do you allude to?\ asked Miss Hcalhcote, wjth increasing interest \ A fiend hardly presentable in good so ciety,\ replied Belmont, bitterly. \One could tolerate a Mephiatophcs—a dignified riend, with his pockets full of money—but my tormentor, if personified, would appear with seedy boots, iind a shocking bad hat, \ How absurd'\ \It is too true,\ sighed Belmont, \and the name of this fiend is poverty!\ \ Are you poor ?\ \ Yes, madata. I am poor, and when 1 would fain render myailf agreeable in the eyes of ono I could love, this fiend whis pers me, ' beware, you have nothing to of fer ber but love in a cottage.'\ \Mr. Belmont,\ sard Julia, with spark ling eyes, and a voice of unusual animation, \ although there are sordid souls in the world, who only judge of the merits of an individual by his pecuniary possessions, I am not ono of this number. I respect poverty; there is something highly poetical about it, and I imagine that happiness is oftencr found in tho humble cottage than benenth the palace root\ Belmont appeared enchanted with this encouraging avowal. Tho next day, after cautioning nis friend Charley to say noth mg of his actual circumstances, he called on the widow Belmont and her fair daughter of the \ poor gentleman.\ The widow had very different notions from her romantic offspring, and when Belmont candidly con fessed his poverty when requesting permis sion to address Julia, he was very politely requested to change th j subject and never mention it again. Tho result of this mantBurering was an elopement, the belle of the ball jumping out of the window on a shed, and coming down a flight of steps to meet her lover for the sake of being romantic, when she might just as well bavc walked out of the front door The happy couple passed a day in New York city, and then Frank took his beloved to his \cottage.\ An Irish hack conveyerd 1 rfiem to a mis erable shanty in the environs of New York, where they alighted, and Frank, escorted the bride into the apartment which served (or a parlor, kitchen and drawing room,and was neither papered or carpeted, introdu ced her to bus mother, much in the way Claude Melnot present* Pauline. The old woman who was pealing potatoes, hastily wiped her hands with a greasy apron, and saluted her \ darter,\ as she called her, on both cheeks. \Can it be possible,\ thought Julia, \ that this vulgar creature in raj Belmont's mother 9 \ \ Frank!\ screamed the old woman, \ you'd better go right up stairs and take off them clothes—for the boy's been sent arter them mor'en fifty times. Frank bor- ried them clothes, ma'am,\ she added to Julia, by way of explanation, \to look smart when he went down east\ The bridegroom retired on this hint, and soon re-appeared in a pair of faded nan keen pantaloons, reaching to about the calf of the leg, a very shabby black coat, out at the elbow, a ragged black vest, and instead of his varnished leather boots, a pair of im mense cowhide brogans. \Now said he, sitting quietly down by the cooking stove, \ I begin to feel at home Ah' this is delightful, isn't it.dear- csf'\ he warbled. \Though neve r s o humble , there's n o plac e like home.\ Julia's heart Bwelled so that she could not utter a word. \ Dearest,\ said Frank, \ I think you told me you had no objections to smoking ?\ '•Tvone in the least,\ said the bride, \ I rather like the flavor of a cigar \ \ 0, a cigar!\ replied Belmont, \ that would never do for a poor man. \ And, oh, horror!\ he produced an old clay pipe, and filling it from a little newspa per parcel of tobacco, began to smoke with a keen relish. \ Dinner ! dinner!\ he exclaimed at length, \ah' thank you, mother, I'm as hungry as a bear. Codfish and potatoes, Julia—not very tempting farc^—but what of that 0 our ailment is love'\ \ YeR—and by way of treat,\ added the old woman, \ I've been gone and brought a whole pint of Albany ale, and three cream cakes from the candy shop, next block.\ Poor Julia pleaded indisposition and could not cat a mouthful Before Belmont, however, the codfish and potiitocs and the ale and creamcake disappeared with a very unromantic, unlover-liki; velocity. At the close of the meal, a thundering double knock was heard at the door \ Come in!\ cried Belmont. A low bmwed man. in a green waist coat, < nterrd \ Vow, Misther Belmont,\ he exclaimed, in a strong Hiberntn accent, \arc jc rea lly to go to work * By the powers' if 1 don't see \ez salted to-morrow on the sh p- | board, I'll discharge ye wiibout a cliarrti tei ' —and \e shall starve on the top of that.\ \To morrow morning, Mr Maloney,\ le- phed Belmont, meekly, \ I'll be ut im posL\ 1 \ And it'll be mighty healthy fir y>'i to do thut same,\ replied the man as he retir ed. \ Belmont—speak—tell mc—\ gasped Julia, \ who is that man —that loafer*\ \ Ho is my employer,\ answered Bel mont, smiling. \ And his professicn ?\ \ He is a tailor'' \ And you?\ \ Am a journeyman tailor at your scr- \icc—a laborous and thankless calling it was to me—but now, dearest, as I drive the hissing goose across the smoking seam I shall think of my own angel and my dear cottage, and be happy \ That night Julia retired weeping to her room in the attic That 'ere countepin, darter,\ said the old woman, \ I worked with these here old hands. Aint it putty * I hope you'll sleep well here. There's a broken pane of glass, but I've put one of Frank's old hats in it, and I don't think you'll feel the draught- There used to be a good many rats here, but I don't think they'll trouble you now, for Frank's been a piznin of 'cm.\ Loftalone^Julia threw herself into a chair and burst into a flood of tears. Even Bel mont had coased to bo attractive in her eyes—the stern privations that surrounded her, banished all thoughts of love. The realities of life had cured her in one day of all her Quixotto notions. \ Well, Julia, how do you like poverty and love in a cottage ?\ asked Belmont, en tering in his bridal dress. > ot so well, sir, as j ou seem to like that borrowed suit,,' answered the bride, red dening with vexation. \ \ cry well, you shall sufft r it no longer. My carriage awaits your orders at the door.\ \Your carriage, indeed'\ \ Yes, dearest, it waits but for you, to bear us to Belmont Hall, my lovely villa on the Hudson.\ \ And your mother?\ \I have no mother, (alas!) The old wo man down stairs is an old servant of the family \ \ Then you've been deceiving me Frank —•how wicked!\ \. It was all done with a good motive,— You were not born to endure a life of pri vation, but to shine the ornament of an ele gant and refined circle, I hope you will not love me less when you learn that I am worth nearly half a million—that's the melancholy fact, and I can't help it\ \ 0, Frank I\ cried the beautiful girl, and hid ber face in his bosom. She presided with grace at tho elegant festivities of Belmont Hall and seemed to support ber husband's wealth and luxuri ous style of living with the greatest fortitude and resignation, never complaining of her comforts, nor murmuring a wish for living in a cottage. — ttfWMW/ttf jBJT Having been asked why ho didp't propose for the band of Jenny Iind, Dodge, Ihe vocalist, replrod: A Gentlemen, I should stand no phanco in tho ttst, were 1 to offer myself; but even with Jenny's con sent, the people would not soy.\ \ Dodge and his wife -have arrived,\ but it would bo \ Jenny Lind and her faisband,\ and I bare no arabinon to bhy second fiddle at this lnt<? period of roy life.'' THE BJteCPED CBOCJAL. A QFOut number of persons who knew the celebrated Dr. B— -—, a professor of the College of Surgeons, hare often heard him relate the following anecdote; One day that he had procured the bodies of two criminals, who had been hung, for the purpose of anatomy, not being able to find the key of the dissecting-room at the momocu tixa two subjects IJ&K brought, he ordered them to Lo douvoita«l In on apsr-l. ment contiguous to his bed-room. During the evening, Dr. B wrote and read as usual previous to retiring to rest The clock had just struck one; and all the family slept soundly, when all at once a dull sound proceeded from the room containing the bodies. Thinking that perhaps the cat had been shut up there by mistake, he went to see what could be the cause of the unexpected sound What was his astonishment,or rath- or his horror, on discovering that the sack which contained the bodies was torn asun der , and, on going nearer, he found that one of the bodies was missing 1 The doors and windows had been fasten ed with the greatest care, and it appeared impossible that the body could have been stolen. The good doctor appeared rather nervous on remarking this, ann it was not without an uneasy sensation that he began to look about him, when, to his horror and amazement, he perceived the missing bodv bitting upright in a comer. Poor Dr. B , at this unexpected ap parition, became transfixed with terror, which was inci eased by observing the dead and sunken eyes of the corpse fixed on him; whichever way he moved, those dreadful eyes still followed him. The worthy doctor, more dead than alive, now began to'beat a quick retreat, without, however, losing sight of the object of his terror, he retreated, step by step, one band holding the caudle, the other extended in search of the door, which he at length gain ed , but there is no escape, the spectre has arisen and followed him, whose livid feat ures added to the lateness of the hour and stillness of the night, seem to conspire to deprive the poor doctor of the little coui age he had left, his strength fails, the candle falls from his hind, and the Urnble scene is now incomplete dm kness Ti.e good doctor ha.s however, gained his apartment, nri\d thrown himself upon his bed but the spectre has still followed him it has Caught linn, unci a'mca hold of his feet with both hnnds. At this climax ol t< rror, the doctor loudlv exclaimed \ Whoever you nre, leave me !\ At this the spectre let go its holl, and moaned fetbl) these words, \ 1'ity, good hangman' hu \e |nt\ on me'\ The good doctor now IIKI'OW red the mystery, and regaineJ b\ lilt e : nd little his composure He ex-' plained to the criminal who had so narrow- 1\ escaped death who he was, and prepar ed to call up some of the f.imily \Do you, then, wish to destroy me?\ exclaimed the crimin .il \If I am discov ered, my advent .ire will become public, and I shall be brought to the scaffold a second time. In the name of humanity, save me fiom death 1\ The gooJ doctor then rose and procured a light, he muffled his unexpected visitor in an old dressing gown; and having made him take some restoring cordial, testified a desire to know what crime had brought him to the scaffold. He was a deserter. The good doctor did not well know what means to employ to save tho poor creature. He could* not employ him in his bouse, and to turn him out would be to expose bim to certain death. The only way, then, was to get him into the country, so having«madc him dress himseK in some old clothes which the kind doctor selected from his wardrobe, he left town early, accompanied by his pro tege, whom he represented as an assistant in a difficult case upon which he had been called in. When they had got into the open coun try, the wretched creature threw himself at the feet of his benefactor and liberator, to whom he swore eternal gratitude; and tbo generous doctor having relieved his wants by a small sum cf money, tbo grateful creature left bim with many blessings and prayers for his happiness.

The skull which is thrown out of the grave, is taken up by \ Hamlet,\ who soliloquies thus t 1 4 Alas: poor Yoriek—\ Wyman; deiterausly throwing his yoice into the skull, ex'clajms \I ain't Yoriek!\ The startled tragedian hesitates—turns pale—but continues.— \ I knew him well—\ \No you didn't, neither!\ puts in Wy man. This time the skull fell from the hands of the terrified actor, and rolled towards the footlights—the audience bursting in a general roar of laughter at the grimaces and contortions, of the poor fellow, without really knowing the cause of his discomfit ure. He stares at the rolling skull, trem bles and looks much paler than before, but after a while, in a measure, be recovers himself sufficiently to make a desperate effort to join in the laugh, but evidently a deci ded failure in the attempt After another effort at fortifying himself, he takes courage and proceeds to pick up the skull again, but as he lays his hand upon it, Wyman in a sepulchral tone, cries out, \ Go away —don't touch me!\ The amazed actor again starts back, and the laugh among the audience was not so general—it begins to look serious, and they entertain supersti tious notions about it, which is more stri kingly developed as Wyman begins a coarse gnttural among them, in different parts of the pit and behind the scenes, which occa sions a perfect stampede among the actors and audience, who make a grand rush for the door. The absent manager at this mo ment comes rushing in, cnes \ Hold ' \ and pointing up to the smiling phiz, and roguish sparkling eyes of Wyman. who sat in a private box, complacently looking on tho confusion and terror he had occasioned— \ Gentlemen, it is only Wyman, the Ven triloquist\ Three cheers for Wyman, cnes the multitude, which were given and gracefully acknowledged by the Wizard, and the play proceeded, much to the sat isfaction of those whose courage was put to the test by this queer genius. - - - <ww»«ww» — Too AHECTIONATE A WIFE .—A man in Roxbury, Mass., got into a quarrel with another, and it was agreed that the parties should settle their difficulties by a fight on the Subsequent day. The wife of ono of the parties, hearing of tho arrangement, went to an apothecary's shop and told the circumstances of the case, and inquired the quantity of laudanum necessary to put her husband into a sleep from which he could not awake until after tho time fixed for the fight to come off. Shaawos told the quan tity, but to mako the thing sure, her kind ness prompted ber to add to tho dose rocn- Uontd, and she administered ao much tkat it proved fatal. She told tho whole story —her objects—her regrets—and the coro- rer and other authorities have wisely de termined that the woman is not subject to criminal rrosecution. \WW/WW* A CAPITAL YANKEE DODOE . The Hampshire Oazette contains the following account of an ingenious trick, recently achieved in Springfield by a Northampton constable Deputy Sheriff George F. Wright went to Springfield, a few. days since to arrest a female, who was hived in a neighborhood of bad repute. Not knowing the person he was after, except by name, and fearing to enquire for her lest she should escape, he assumed the business of \census taker,\ for the purpose of seeking her out. Hav ing procured a blank book, he sallied into Urn neighborhood of the culprit, and an nounced himself as having been appointed to take the census of Springfield, After he was accosted by a well-ciresscd man— nav j np . enumerated the populition of five b* nd m one who had been pointed out to him as or gix r am ;ii e 8 ue caruc upon the person he in it, appi ono of the most opulent merchants of the wflJ wno very innocently gave her beat.

On ar riving at the merchant's house, he was shown into an elegant apartment, where a roost charming woman and two lovely chil dren welcomed htm in the most friendly manner; which reception surprised him the more, comiDg from persons he hnd nev er before met After dinner the merchant, having taken him into his counting-house, seized his hand, and having pressed it with friendly warmth, said to him. a Do you not recollect me ?\ « No,\ said the doctor. \ Wei), then, t remember you well, and your features will never be obliterated from my memory—for to you I owe my life.— Do you not remember (he poor deserter ?

Small print can be read through it, and yet the web is so close and compact that a single thread could not be distinguished without the aid of a microscope or rather web glass. The cambric, when held up to the light, looks like a fine air cambric In tbe production of this beautiful gossamer-looking cambric, Mr. Haddock almost realised what classic fictit n ascribed to the performance of A racbne, who, as mytbologists inform us, was converted into a spider, on account of equalling that ingenious little architect in her production of fine webs.

DKLAZON SMITH .—This singular individ ual, who was tor several years a resident of this city, turns up occasionally in a news paper paragraph, to let the world know his whereabouts. Some twenty years ago he left College, preparatory to entering the ministry, as his friends supposed, but to their great disappointment he came out soon after an infidel lecturer. In 1830 ne established an infidel paper in this city, called the New York Watchman, which survived its birth about one year. After his paper -was discontinued, be was occa sionally heard of in the lecturing field, until about 1S40, when he commenced the pub lication of a sort of political daily here,, called the Western Herald, which expired prematurely. Smith, about this time , took the nomination as a candidate for Astembly from the Workingmen of the city and county. In this he was no more success ful than he was in his newspaper enterpri ses, and he, like many other disappointed office -seekers, threw himself into the arms of John Tyler, and obtained an appoint ment as agent to Equador, or some other South American State, to conclude treaties with the newly organized revolutionary powers. The newspapers of the day an nounced that \ Dcluston Smith had been sent in search of the equator.\ At all events he was gone lon^ enough to find the equator, and explore all South Ameri ca, f r it was months afl «r Polk camo into office before Smith could be found to be recalled He came back, however, in '45, with his pocket full of \ rocks,\ and we be lieve went to rcsido in one of the Western States, where he has occasionally been on the stump as a candidate for office, but generally, we believe, without success. His last appearance is made through the Bur lington, Iowa, Hawkeye, which announces that Delazon has just been converted to Christianity at a protracted meeting in that place, and after having joined tbe Mctho diets, entered tbe ministry, and was preach ing at that place.— Rock.
