TEMPERANCE MEETING.

The adjourned temperance meeting. noticed
in our last, was very fully attended at the
Methodist Chapel on the evening OF Friday
last. Mr.. SLADE offered the preamble and
resolutions Of which notice was given by him
lin our last paper. They were discussed by
the mover, and by Messrs. Seymour, Merrill,
Prindle, 1ieacham of N Haven, and Twinipg,
and adopted with great unanimity.
The meeting was one of thrilling interest.
and we trust will be attended with happy re.
suits. A; the close of the meeting commit
tee was appointed to wait on the reformed
drunkards and request them 10 give to the mex,
meeting a history of their experience. A
committee was also appointed to report to the
next meeting a plan for organizing a new
temperance society, with view of carrying
forward mere vigorously the Temperance re.
form. The meeting was adjourned to meet at
the Congregational Westinghouse on the eve-
ming of Wednesday the 26th inst.
The following are the Preamble ard Reso'u.
tions adopted by the meeting.

New PLAN OF CoURTsHIP. AT wedding, re-
Gently celebrated, were present some twenty-five
Young persons, all of them in a condition which,
for various reasons, they generally concurred in
regarding as undesirable, viz: the Unengdged.-
One of the gentlemen Of the party, suspected the
prevalence among them Of feelings, that might
easily be exchanged for others infinitely more fix
ed and agreeable. He accordingly proposed the
choosing Of president, person worthy all con-
fidence whose duty it should be 10 receive from
each individual folIed paper inscribed with the
name of the person handing it in, aud also with
the name of the person of the other sex whom
the first would be willing to marry. The Presi-
dent, in addition TO the restraints of his own
sense of honor, was 10 be put under a solemn
pledge of eternal secrecy. All refusing to ac-
cede to the proposition were for time TO leave
the room. Thuse whose choice was reciprocal,
that is, those whose papers contain the same two
names. were to be privately Informed; while the
selections of the others were TO remain undisclo-
sed. The result was, that the trial was made
all shared in the experiment; and eleven couple
were found to have made themselves happy; and
their several unions were subsequently consum-
mated.

anecdote would seem TO carry off the palm from
all others in this accomplishment. One of the
party at table, abiding 10 an Illustration of this
characteristic of the Nantucket population,
which, according TO Sam Slick had occurr, d
10 the professional practice Of Mr.. Webster,
asked him whether it was true. He said it
was essentially correct, and proceeded TO state
The real incidents as follows. A Nantucket
client had asked him 10 goto that island to plead
a cause for him. Mr.. Webster, after mention.
ing the loss os time, and the interruption to his
other practice, said that he could not 90 unless
he received fee of thousand dollars. The
client objected 10 paying so large sum for
pleading one cause, Mr. Webster replied
that the fatigue and loss Of time in travelling
to Nantucket, and remaining there probably
during the whole circuit. amounted to as great
sacrifice on his part, as if he pleaded in ev-
cry cause on the roll.
"Weil them" said the client, "come and |
will pay you the thousand dollars; but you shall
be at my disposal for the whole sittings, and |
shall let you out if can" Mr.. Webster went
and was sub.let by his client, who drew the fees
10 relieve his own loss. Judge Story, who
was present, remarked, that he had often heard
The apecdote mentioned, but never before heard
it authenticated. He added "the current edi'
lion proceeds 10 tell that your client let you out
for eleven hundred dollars, saved his pocket
entirely, and gained ten per cent. on his spec
ulation. Mr.. Webster stated with great good
humor, that as his client had not reported the
amount of the sub.fees which lie drew, he could
not tell whether this addition was correct or
not. Sam slIck's report Of This occurrence is
not entirely accurate.

FAIR CANpInATEs.-A few evenings since our
attention was called to the fact, that in little
city, there are not less than three hundred un-
married ladies between the ages of sixteen and
thirty years. We could hardly credit the sug
grstion until we had looked about and counted
for ourselves. The ladies of New London are
proverbially handsome, well educated and ac-
complished, and all who are qualified TO Judge of
the facts, must bear witness that they are not
misrepresented. 1t may be thought ngulsr that
so large a number should be found in state of
single blesseGness, but-when it is understood that
most of our enterprizing young men cmigrate at
an early age, it will be less surprising. We
would say 10 all bachelors who possess the prop
er qualifications to make good husbands, and dis
elimination Justly 10 appreciate beauty combined

received by TIE highly respectable assembly.

choir Of singers whose natural talents for So.
cred music, By study AMI Practice, have been
polished up to degree of perfection seldom
attai: ed in more Populors places. Upon this
occasion they were displayed in a manner
highly creditable 10 the performers. and the
claims of music over, all the fine arts, in NOV
ing the soul. were fully indicated. Music is
often studied as profession,aud frequently de-
graded as an instrument of allureing the multi
tude TO indulgence in vulgar pleasures and vi
cious performances. But the members of the
NJ asical Institute are devoting themselves TO
the cultivation of this pleasing art solely for
the qualification which they derive from tho
performance of sacred melody, and well de-
serve the favorable regard which they are re-
ceiving from the community to whose innocent
amusements and devotional exercises they are
likely So richly to contribute. We re inform
ed that they propose 10 entertain the public
with occasional exhibitions Of sacred psalmody
