MISCELLANEO

A HARD Casa Yankee schoolmastcr;
teacher of Chirography-n long since To-
Gated himself in Rensser County N. Y. and
commenced school under the most favorable
auspices. He gathered round him score of
pupils--most of whom were of the fairer order
of creation. One, in particular was, we UNDER
stand, a very angel in features-one of YOUR
beautiful country maidens' who spring up in
their seclusion, fair as the wild flowers of their
native vallies. AS mighe have been expected
she played iniquity with the heart of the school,
master. Day after day he satby her side, guided
her taper fingers, and felt her dark tresses light
ly sweeping his cheek, as she leaned with him
towards the manuscript 1t was too much
human philosophy could not stand it. In a
luckless moment, he pressed his lips to her
cheek, imprinted upon it one of those kisses.
in which
"The lip will linser like some bee
Slipping a ayourite flower"
And what think you, gentle reader, was there
suit of all this? why-the unfortunate chiro-
8rapher was prosecuted for his lecture on kis-
sing, and turned adrift with fine of 81 900
hanging over his shoulders like the pack of
Bunyan's pilgrim. Far be it from us to un-
dervalue the charms of the young lady; but re
ally, If she sets such an exorbitant price upon
her cheek, twill be long day, we opine be-
tore she has another opportunity to exact it.

cannot of course, be tloinga profitable business
believe this is the argument
and a very logical one it is. The fact IS but one
of the many indications of a declining trade,
which are shown in the eyes and grieve the
hearts of many patriots in our city. Boston
was never before so near the brink of destruc-
ton; much Of her little BUSINESS is like TO die a
natural death, for want of nurses. Her streets
are numbered up with goods; the people who
have not left her in despair are jostling each
other about the streets and hurrying TO and
fro. demented; her manufactures make few or
Ino goods except TO order: real estate has not
risen more than thirty-three per cent, within
the last eight months; and, in short, consump-
ltion stalks through the streets in such palpa-
lbe shape, that even the prophetic croakers who
once made the city musical though meiancho-
Ilv, with their lamentations, have laid asid
their harps. and wait with gloomy satisfaction
to have their predictions verified. We are con-
WINGED that Boston will soon lose good por-
\ ton of her business--for want of people TO
transact it--Courier.

send their anquated articles to the North; that Is
TO Sweden and Russia. A vessel deeply laden with
such merchandise, says London paper, was run
down in the channel st. Petersburg. Next day a
salmon was caught in the Nava, dressed in white
satin petticoat, and in the same net found two
large cod fish, with muslin handkerchefs round their
necks The sharks and porposcs were observed in
gowns Of the latest taste, and hardly was there fish
that did not display Of the latest Partisan fash
ions that ever visited the North.

y. Remember the Ps;nfer.-- Appended to thel
notice OF marriage published in an Eastern
( M d. newspaper, are the following remarks,
which should be generally circulated for the in-
formation of all young candidates for the la
vors Of Hymen--and for the benefit OF the
craft in general:
Accompanying the above notice Of the mar
riage, was bottle of excellent wine, a chunk,
OF pound cake as big as our press ball, with
divers punches of raisins, and oceans of nuts.
To the generous couple, who in the midst Of
all their happiness, did not forget the poor
printer, we tender our sincerest wishes for
their happiness and prosperity. After the de-
molition of the good things, our deva anx-
iously inquired, as he wiped his mouth, if
there would be any more wedding soon.
ORIcINAL ANEcDoTE.--A few years ago,
"a couple of Dutchmen upon the high hills of
jamestown, though very friendly, had dread

for which he sued for damages They were
called into court, and the defendent in the case
twas asked by the Judge, ifhe killed the dog:
IL Be sure kilt him said the Dutchman put lei

1.-THE plaintiff in the case was called on to answer
la few questions; he was asked by the Judge, tc
what amount he estimated the damages; he did
not understand this question so well, SO to a
little palmer, the Judge asked him what he
Thought the dog to be worth. ''Be sure said he
the dog was wot noting, but since he vas Sc
