A LUCKY EXPERIMENT.

During the severe frost which took
place about four months ago,a lively
lass who had been married about a
year and a half before to a young
farmer on the borders of Rodney
marsh was much scandalized at her
husbands going too often to the pub
lie house, and staying too late when
he was there. Several little conjugal
expostuIations having failed Of produ:
ing alteration, the lady in moment
of passion declared positively, that if
it occurred again, she would throw the
baby, an infant, four months old, OF
which he was very fond, into the
military canal, and herself in after it.
Not dreaming that she would carry
her threat into execution, few days
had only elapsed when the
''lron tongue of midnight had
told twelve,"
before Mr.. knocked at his
own door. HIS wife let him 10 her
self, aud, without saying syllable, Sc
down the candle, walked deliberately
10 the cradle, snatched up the uncon-
scious little innocent sleeping Within
it, and rushed out of the house, 1t is
hardly necessary to say that the alarm
ed husband ran hastily after, but so
sudden aud unexpected had been her
movement, that she had gained con-
siderable start; and the canal being
but few yards from their dwelling,
reached the tow path before he could
overtake her. He was just 10 time 10
seEze and save her from self destruc-
tion, but the poor little thing was al
ready 10 the middle Of the water, at
that spot about four feet deep, and he
could witaesS its struggles by the light
of the mooR. Ia an instant be threw

from siuking, brought safely to the

ly's bed clothes, exceedingly wet, and
mewing piteousIy His spouse, in the
meaa time, had regained her own
door, which was not opened till he
had plenty of time to enjoy all the
comforts Of his situation. Before,
however, he was quite an icicIe, ad.
mission was vouchsafed, but the story
of his self inflicted docking having got
wind, no further slratagem was neces
sary 10 wean the swain from his sym
postum; the jokes of his conviviaI ac
quaI ntance being sufficient 10 prevent
his again partaking in their reveIs.-

qualification, and one who enjoys the confidence
of his political friends and the respect of his po-
lical enemies" as next Governor of Virginia.
correspondent of the same paper dominates
James Nc DopeH, Jr. Esq. of Rockbrdge.
1t is pretty certain that none other than Van
Burenite can be elected by the next Legislature,
and We, for one, should be therefore grated if the
choice of the Legislature should fall Mr.. Miller,
who has recommended himself to the support Of
the liberal ofall parties by his manly opposition to
the infamous Expunging resolutions-so infamous,
that now that they have answered the only Pur-
pose for which they mainly urged, the
pulsion of certain obnoxious Senators from their
seats, they will be permitted to sleep the sleep Of
death.
But neither of the above named gentlemen will
be the candidate of "he party"-at least of its
leaders. Col. Joe Watkins and Mr.. Speaker
Banks both have strong claims upon their friends
the former for his Jealous advocacy OF every
parlizan measure, however intrinsically odious-
and the latter for his unprincipled conduct, in vo-
ting to instruct Messrs Leigh and Tyler out of
their seats, for doing the very thing which he, two
years before, had instructed them to do The
claims OF these two gentlemen are both so strong,
and so nearly equal, that it is difficult to say which
best deserves the "reward"-though, on the prin-
eiple that he who has rendered himself most liba-
BILE to ccnsurc by the most barefaced outrage up
on honor and decency, is the most deserving OF
remuneration, suppose Col. Banks will be the
man.
