NEW VIEW OF MATRIMONY.—A lady meet-
ing a girl who had lately left her service, in-
quired, "Yell, Mary, where do you live now ?"
" Please, ma'am, I don't live now," replied the
girl, " I. am married."
A very affected lady, who had turned demo-
crat, was addressed by a friend,—" My dear, it
was very well, while you were only affected;
but now you are disaffected, it is intolerable."
TXE GOTHS AND Huris.—The terrific honours
which these ferocious nations paid to their de-
ceased monarchs, are recorded in history, by the
interment of Attila, King of the Huns, and Ma-
rk, King of the Goths.—Attila died in 453, and
was buried in the midst of a large champaign in
a coffin which was in one of gold, another
of silver, and the third of iron. With the body
was interred all the spoils of the enemy, harnesses
embroidered with gold and studded with jewels ;
rich silks, and whatever they had taken most
precious in the palaces of the Kings they had pil-
laged : and that the place of interment might for
ever remained concealed, the Huns deprived of
life all who assisted at his burial ! The Goths Ind
done nearly the same for Alaric in 410, at Co-
sensa, a town in Calabria. They turned aside
the river Vasento; and having formed a grave in
the midst of its bed where its course was most
rapid, they interred this King with prodigious
accumulations of riches. After having caused
the river to assume its usual course, they mur-
dered, without explanation, all those who had
been concerned in digging this singular grave.
A German Poet having written a gastronomic
song upon the pastry of one of the best pastry
cooks of his place, the latter thought he could
not better testify his gratitude than by send-
ing him one of the objects he had relebratect
in his song. The Poet was at first enchanted with
the work. But, 0 grief ! on finishing the last mor-
sel,he recognised in the paper on which it lay,when
baked, the copy of his song with which he had
testified his homage to the pastry-cook. In a great
rage he ran to his shop and accused him of the crime
of Iwsw poeticce. "Ah, Sir," replied the artist, not
in the least disconcerted, " why so angry ? I
have only followed your example.—You made a
song on my pastry, and I have made a pie upon
your song."

A merchant who lately advertised for a clerk

BOXING.--At his benefit yesterdays at the
Royal Tennis-court, Great Windmill-street,
Belasco said he was ready to fight _Martin on
Tuesday next, the day appointed for the fight for
100 gns. as his backer had been bummed on the
day the stakes were to have been made ; and
his 1001. became forfeited, and that match was off.
—Martin mounted • the stage, and said he had
received the forfeited 1001., and that he would
fight Belasco on Tuesday fortnight for 2001. lle
was not in condition to fight earlier, as he had
been up four nights. After some other dis-
course, Martin produced some flimsies, and said
he would fight on Tuesday next. Belasco re-
referred him to the Navy Coffee-house, New-
castle-street, to make the stakes that evening.
