the situation Of her husband is nfictine up-

of the Court have been, several times, pro-

for moment, the place which she has se-
cured beside him, aud will probably, if ma

convictlon. THERE'S nothing on earth more
full of interest, than such an instance Of de-
y"ilon. The conslancy aud enduring love
of woman, have been the themes of admi-
ration in all ages, and every day furnishes
new proofs of the business Of even the poet

resolved, and more exclusive devotion on
their part. The rhapsody oi Moore

than in fiction. Whatever may be the is

hut believe that there must have been SOME
THING Of good in the man who could attach

do we find the best and most beautiful of
them layishing the treasures Of their hearts
upon totally unworthy objects, that there
could, perhaps, be no rule more unsafe
than that which would seek TO infer the
good character or disposition of the 'hus-
bnnd, from the excellent qualities of the
wife.

THE Hon. $. S. Phelps has been cleo
ted United States Senator, by one majority
in the house and two majority in the SEN
ate, after a very hard strugge--about sixty
baloiings having been had in the senate
and fifteen in the house. The democrats
stood firm throughout in both branches. 10
the senate their vote did not vary, except
from sickness or ihadvertence. In the
house the variation was not more than four
or FIVE.
"The Montpelier Patriot says of this Sc
lection For ourselves we can say that no
man of the opposition would be more ac-
cep,able to US, and in this, we doub, not, we
express the sentiments Of a large majority
of the democratic party Of this state"
The Governor has issued proclamation,
ordering un election in the Fourth Con-
gressional District to supply the vacancy,
owing To the want Of choice in the late e.
lection. John Smith will be run again by
the democracy.

A SHORT COURTSHIP, MARRIAGE, &

| An amusing incident in the wny OF n love
and marriage affair, took place we under
stand, in Clark street, in our village, on
Saturday last. A lackadalIzlcnl son ol
John Bull, who has been residing III the
place, and paying particular attention to
bnxom Irish girl, for some time, made his
arrangements to consummn,e his happiness
by having the hymenial knoltied. On that
afternoon he hired horse and buggy, and
took his intended TO the house of a friend
on that street 10 have the marriage rites
performed. While preparations were go
ing forward for the event, hale son OF The
Emerald Isle, hearing of the circumstance,
aud cnvyng the Happiness of the English
man, resolved to rob him of the intended
wife, aud convert her to himself. Accor-
dinghy, putting on his Sundays best, he im-
mediately repaired 10 the house OF marriage
entered the room where they were, and,
like bold knight of romance, claimed the
maiden as his property; telling the English
lover he must AT once give up all claims !;
ut the same time taking possession ot h's
prize She, finding she had two strings to
her bow instead 0f one, and having occa-
sionally, previous, received visits from her
countrymun, had had nn itching To catch
him but his o6fshness IN never popping the
question, had induced her rather TO take
/ her English lover rather than none. Find
ing her ueat lrishnan now ~ earnest, after
some short explanation she consented to be-
come his and otwilhstanding the protes-
ta,ions Of him To whom she first made the
engagement she was soon united Ia
the lrishman. The EuglishB.an was
thus compelled to have his anticipaiions
nipped iu the bud, after all the trouble, anx'
ieiy, md expense of horse and buggy to
bring him to the threshhold of his happi-
ness The gallant lrishmen, having secur'
ed his prize, we understand, however, st
far solaced him us to npply n sulve to hi'
wounded feelings, by taking the riding cs'
tsblishment off his hands, aud paying the
bill he had been nt but he and his friends
refused longer to shelter the new bride ano

ROMANTIC NEW ENGLAND LIE
GEND.

Sir Charles Henry FARMLAND, son of

from family of England tracing its
high lineage b edward to the Norman con-
quesr, visited America long previous to
the war of the reyolu ion, and held the
Office Of collector Of his Maiesty's Gus
toms in Boston under the royal govern
ment of Massachusetts. His gay man.
ncrs and lcentious principles were better
accommodated to the profigate circles of
the courts where he had moved, than TO
the severe morality of puritan society,"
On some excursion in pursuit of pleasure
or business, he CHANGED to visit Gloucester
or MarbIehead; which Of these towns was
the scene of his adventure is not precisely
fixed by tradition. At the village inn he
found damsel of "sweet sixteen" with
out shoes or stockings, but with the ro-
mantle name of Agness Surrage, engag-
ed in the unromantlc employment Of scrub
bing the stair case. Attracted by her ap.
pearance, the gallant Knight went up and
then came down again, until he fell in
love with the barefooted beauty. The
grace of her attendance upon the tea table
aided the conquest, which was completed
when he ascertained that the charms Of
personal loneliness were united to lively
wit and strong but uncutivated intellect.
The fair maid Of the inn became the COM
panion Of the nobleman, and returning
, with him to Boston, acquired the accom-
plshments OF such education as the best
instructors of the time could bestow.
4 The of feeling which has existed
from the earliest day of New England
was outraged by a connexion unblesseC
with matrimonial rites. The companion
ofSir Henry, surrounded with graces anc
accomplishments, was isolated amid vir
tuous community. The stern rebrobaror
Of public opinion, drove the knight TO seel
