Hhimsical Enterruption.--When DR..
Bradon was rector of Ethan in Kent,
the text he one day took to preach
from, was, swho art thou?' After read
ing the text, he made (as was his
custom) pause for the congregation
to reflect upon the words; when a
gentleman in a military dress, who at
the instant was marching very sedately
up the middle aisle Of the church, sup
posing it a question addressed to him,
to the surprise Of all present replied,
4" | am an officer of the seventeenth of
foot, on a recruiting party here: and
having brought my wife and family
with me, wish to be acquainted with
the neighbouring clergy and gentry
This SO deranged the divine, and aston
ished the congregation, that tho they
attempted to listen with decorum, the
discourse was not proceeded in with
out considerable difficulty.

As he spoke, the countenance Of Ju-
lio altered;- the crimson blood waxed
faint; the flashing eye beamed not; the
curled lip became still--he would have
spoken--bui, with hali-suppressed
sigh, he turned away to his errand.
"'Tis a strange boy" again spoke
Steinford;" (" 1 met him at post-house
near Venice, where he told me lamen-
table story of his love; and, mingling
his tale with well-timed hattcry, induced
me to engage him" The carriage oi

ment, announced; presently it was gone.
and Henry departed To gambling

now become an adept in fashionable

he needed it not, and soon wa engaged
in the game the stake was arge-ma-

furiated a, his loss, Henry's antagonist
threw again, aud again lost Then It
was that the irenzied beggar uttered a
maniac yell, As he exclaimed, wildly =
"My wife-my childreu--all, all are
ruined!-I will not be unrevengedo-
and, with frightfu vehemenca, he hurled
lamp wh,cn stood near at his more
fortunate adversary the blow was not
doomed to descend on hum. The boy,
Julio, had entered unobserved: on him
the vengefnl missile fell: the dark-hair-
ed page received the blow.
Noble boy, my life has been pre-
served by thee? exclaimed Nteiniord,
and he received the senseless form of
the page In his arms.
He does but faint" he continued, in
a tone Of alarm "Air! air!-let him
have air!--it is only a swoon!"
With speed the still lileless form OF
Julio was borne TO aD open window
SteiniOrd tore from his head black nj

wound; scar there was none; but on his
snowy temple there appeared a deep
cash, from which no blood issued.
The handkerchief was now united,
and his vest opened-and, TO the aston
ishment of all present, the white bosom
of female was exposed to view, while
around her neck depended minia-

A CHARAcTER.-Birth, wit, and
fortune, combine to render Sophia
conspicuous,whi corroding propen-
sity to envy sours her otherwise ami
able qualities, and makes her dreaded
as a poison doubly dangerous, CRATE
ful to the taste, yet mortal in effect.
All who see Sophia at a visit, where the
brilliancy other vii heightens the ms
tire of all her charms, are imperceptibly
deluded into concurrence with her in
opinion, and suspect not dissimulation
under the air Of frankness, nor a de-
sign of doing mischief in a seemingly
casual stroke of wit. The most sacred
character, the fairest reputation, defend
not against the infectious blast of a
sprightly raillery; borne on the wings
of wit, and supported by a blaze OF
beauty, the fiery vapour withers the
sweetest blossoms, and communicates
to all who hear, an involuntary dis
like to those at whose merit. she points
her satire.

CEI.IR RAEY-

Extract Of lette, from a gentleman in
Philadelphia, to his friend in Wash
ington.
Il really do want to get married, aud
have been looking round my extensive
circle of acquaintance for partner,
without success---instead of those beau
tiful domestic creatures our country for
merly abounded with, whose home was
their delight, who made their o,on, and
their chriidren's clothes. who attended
to the domestic affairs OF the house and
assisted in all its concerns, find set
Of giggling, gossiping trlfers, IN whose
minds balls, plays, carriages and novels
are uppermost; the kitchen they never
en- er, they hardly know head Of cab
bage from head OF lettuce, or leg OF
mutton from a shoulder, though they
are great connOisseurs IN Ice creams, and
as TO mcndlng pair of bleeches for a
brother or husband, they would cry fie
upon you! or faint were you to propose
such an indelicate thing to them; while
these same iashionab!es will set whole
evening without blush to hear one OF
Shakspeare's obscene plays--music
dear delightful music, only studied to
shew fine arm and hand or highly
amended piano, not string of which is
to please father or husband who are
considered heavy old fashioned pieces
of furniture, mere lumber about the
house---alvays IN The ,oay.
1t is a fact my friend, worth recor.
ding, that in all the public institutions
formed in France, by Napoleon, for the
education Of the daughters of those who
served or fell in the cause Of their coun.
try, the duty of the house formed Q
principal part OF their tuition They
were taught with care, writing, arithme-
tic, and keeping house or expense books
mantua-makers, women-tailors, and mil
liners, were employed in teaching them
how to cut out and make up every spe.
cies of garment, and they took turns in
groups Of half dozen from each class
to assist experienced cooks in the kitch-
| en- of the establishments, where they
were taughtthe art of cooking, the price
and qualities of provisions, and to make
pasty jellies, &c. In short, every branch
of household industry was attended TO-
while reading the best authors, music,
drawing, embroidery and dancing, occI.
pied a portion Of their time. In parts
Of Germany, l found this system of edu-
cation for woman had been pursued for
many years. In Switzerland it is the
same on a smaller scale. How many
women do we see in the commercial So
ciety Of France, Germany and Swtzer-
land, taking charge occasionally oftheir
husbands affairs, attending to his books
carrying on his correspondence, and, in
case Of hs death, continuing the business
Of his house with success.
With us these things are too much
neglected, to dress and parade the

A person in the neighborhood Of
Truro, finding that row Of wood
paling which fenceda field, diminished
nightly, resolved OH novel expedient
to detect the thief, He broke down
few Of them, bored and charged
them with gunpowder, and then scat
tered them OH the ground. A few
days after, he had the pleasure to hear
that public baker had been surprised
by an explosion Of gunpowder in his
oven, which had shaken II to ruins.

CEREMoNy.-It is remarked by
some writer, that excess Of ceremony
shows want Of good breeding. This
is true. There is nothing SO trouble
some rs overdone politeness; il is worse
than overdone beef steak. A truly
well bred man makes every person
about h,m feel a, ease; he does not
throw civiii,ies about him with shovel,
nor toss compliments in bundle, as
he would hay, with a pitchfork.-
There is no evil under the sun more
intolerable than ultra poliieness.-
When man has enjoyed a good din
ner, il sounds little like sarcasm to
tell him he has eaten nothing. When
he. has regaled bis palate with a slice
Of fine venison or savory .goose, is il
an insultto his taste TO apobgise for
having given him a bad dinner. il is
as much as to tell him he is no jndge
Of the eatables-that his palate is
tasteless and Gotllic-that he does not
know the difference between turtle soup
and soup maigre-between young
partridge and an old hen.

The luxurious habits. of modern socie-
~ are strongly exhibited in the increa-
sing numbers of carriages Of all de-
scriptions. Mankind is becoming,
every day, less dependant on the loco
motive powers that nature gave them.
The Ladies desert their houses to live
in carriages, like the Scythians of old,
in their wagoDs-and the Gentleman,
IN imitation .of the ancient Lapilhe,
are identified with their horses.
l, is a singular fact, mentioned by
David Hume, in his life of Charles first,
thai ,bere were not more than twenty
hackney coaches in London, at that
PERIOD The historian states that they
had increased in his days to near 500.
And it is calculated that not less than
from fourteen to fifteen thousand car
riages are maintained in London al the
present day. A modern French writer,
speaking of the revolution Of fashion,
Of which there may be yet found living
witnesses, says, that towards the middle
Of 'he last century, there were only six
or seven hundred private coaches in
PAris---but that now there are four
thousand. The hacks have been multi
piled in the same proportion their
present number is at least two thou
sand
The increased use of carriages in
the United States shows what success
ial imitatOrs we are of the luxurious
habits Of our transatlantic models.

A certain Surgeon Dentist of Philad-
elphia, who is not quite a span for Big
Dick, was called upon by person Of
great maxillary dimensions, for his as
sistance to dislodge tooth, which had
began to raise mutiny among his
nerves. The patient being seated on
the floor, SO as TO accommodate his
length, to that of the doctor, began to
open his head, nearly in manner and
form of an old fashioned fall back chaise>,
and the astonished operator, who stood
before him, fearing there might be a
second edition Of Jonah, exclaimed with
terror in his countenance, "you need not
extend your jaws any farther, for intend
to stand on the outside while l extract
the TOOTH"
Nations--not unlike rivers, precipitate
their impurities in level places, and
when at rest drop their baseness whilst
in the most violent motion; and become
the dirtier the farther they flow along
through lazy flats.
A mans nature runs, says Bacon, Ell
ther to herbs or weeds; therefore let him
seasonably water the one and destroy the
| other.
A merchant advertising all assortment
of goods for sale, gives notice that he
will take in payment all kinds of country
produce, except promises.
DIR Franklin, when child, found the
long graces used by his father before
and after meals very tedious, one day
after the winters provisions were salted;

you were to say grace over the whole

saving Of time
A shoemaker, recommending his
goods to lady, said Madame it will

A student of medi cine from Bosom,
while attending lectures in London, OBJ
served that the Kings evil had been
but little known in the United States
since the revolution.
A moralist observes, "that at taverns
madness is sold by the bottle"
In time of much religious excite.
ment, and consequent discussion, an
honest old Dutch farmer ofthe Mohawk,
was asked his opinion as to which de-
nomination Of christians were on the
right way to heaven1-" Vel den, said
he, ven we ride our wheat to Albany,
