Mrs. Fidd'efaddIe. the young aud
pretty wife .f the aid alderman F,d.
dlriaddle, has q peDehant for y hand
some officer Of the navy. And thai.
as the old alderman came home late
one evening last week, he found the
ofheer at his house under very suspi
eious circumstances. He is said 10
have taken no notice Of the affair at the
time, either to hi. wife or the young
gentlemen: but If report speak true,
he felt strange shooting Immediately
after on each side Of his forehead. and
was observed for several days to apply
his hand frequently TO those parts, rs
II in expectation at finding produc-
ton, the growth Of which few men are
disposed to cultivate on their own
heads. What ~ likely to be the re
suit Of this discovery we have not
heard, but we should not he surprised
IL 4 duel should be the consequence /;
in which case the fat aIdermsn would
be winged TO dead certainty, and the
victor would carry of the widow.
For The lovers Of silly stuff Miss
Arabella Scinderilla Georgie,,a Gull
elmina Clishma claver Petweet was the
only daughter Of fond and indulgent
parents; she was in the early bloom
and CAV promise Of sixteen. She was
beautiful beyond the fairest Of her sex
beyond all parallel Of earthly affection.
Her radiant eyes were like two rival
suns in the arch of heavens armament;
her forehead was smooth and fair as
the seven times polished alabaster /;
her maideuly cheeks were like two
Iucious peaches, glowing with q gentle
red. inviting and yet shrinking from
the kisses as tire DreeZe; her lips were
the exact copy and sweet semblance Of
two delicate slices Of ripe watermelon,
SO red and 80 inviting; her teeth were
not like OF mortal mouths. so fair, so
white-they were evidently made to
set of her heavenly countenance, ra-
ther than for the gross purposes Of
mastioation; her neck was graceful as
the swans. and smooth, and white,
and clear as the fairest spermaceti can
die. Bot were we to attempt to de-
scribe each Of her Undesirable per-
fections, we should never have done.
suffice il to say. in oil personal lowell
ness she was perfection itself, doubly
perfected; and her mind was every
way fitted to adOrn so fair person.
Such was Miss Arabella Scinderilla
Georgietta GulieImiua Ciishmaclaver
Pet~eet; and vet she was mOrtAi as
the mortalest! How shalt We relate the
heart.rending taie-we WON'T Iy.
For the LoreTs of poiifics.-It is now
ascertained beyond 4 doubt, that Col.
Pluck is 10 be a candidate for the rext
presidency. When we say this we
speak sdvisediy. AZ we happen TO have
the means Of knowing Whether Col.
Pluck will coUs"nt To crafty the wish
es OF his countrymen has been doubted
by some. but we can set their fears at
rest on this head, by assuring them
that. however regardless Of office or
emoIument he may have hitherto been,
he will not disregard the wishes Of q
majority Of the American people. That
the eyes Of the nation should tot have
been sooner turned to this distinguish
ed citizen, 10 TO Us matter Of no little
astonishment. For he 10 81 this mo-
ment perhaps the only man in this
country who could SO completely unite
the sentiments Of all parties; and we
hazard nothing in saying, that should
he be elected, as there - no doubt he
will, his administration will be the
most glorious since the adoption Of the
federal constitution.
For me lovers of sad pressing. We
take it 10 be a self evident proposition,
that man was created to be perfectly
miserable. that he was endowed by his
beneiicent Creator with passions, sp-
petites and Propensitiss. for 90 other
purpose than 10 increase his wretchsd-
ness that his very limbs were formed
merely to give him pain that his teeth
were made Tor no nlher use in the
world but 10 ache that his feet were
appended to his legs for the purpose
OF being tormentrd with the go0t; that
his eyes we're bestowed upon him for
no earthly use but to lead him iniO
snares; and that reason, his distin-
guished attribute, was added 10 his
other gifts merely 70 make him fool
In short. that every part and pwcei
Of him, both separately and conformity,
both mental & physical, was bestoW ed
upon him Nv The Glver of al good, -
the direct means IT completing his
stretched CONDITION. Such being the case
il is evidently the height Of Wiekedness
a. we'll ~ folly, TO think for mOment Of
enjoying the smallest Of the good things
Of this fife, or taking any comfort what
ever in this miserable world.
