ROMANCE OFREALLIFE.


"Marricd on Tuesday, by the Rev. VIM
Ash, Thomas hlowitto Charlotte Conroy
both ofhis city"
The above marriage was consumma'
ted in this city on last Tuesday week, and
thereby hangs tale which may be worth
the attention of the lovers of the marvel
lous. Mr.. Mowilt is respectable boss
shoemaker, who keeps several men en-
ployed, and among the rest was one nam
ed J oIn Pelsing, who had ingraliated him
selfso much in his favor by his faithful
ness, industry and sobriely, tina. he took
him in partnership about three years since,
aud had no cause 10 regret his kindness
From that period Mr.. Mowi!, and Mr.. Pei
sing were constant friends and companions,
and boarded in the same house until about
II months since, when one day they were
subreGed fora coroncr's inquest, which
was ahol, to be held on the body of man
that bad iccn taken oul Of Maiden Lane
dock. The deceased had all the appear
ance Of having been regular dock loafer
and it was the opinion Of all prcsen, that
he had fallen into the slip while in stale
Of intoxication but the vcrtIicl-which
was given in few miu2ics-was merely
found drowned"
The jury being dismissed, Mr.. NJ. lur-
ned round TO look for his friend and fellow
Juror, who had been at his side till that
moment. but he was gone and he though,
he saw him running al almost full speed
NJ Maiden Lane. This struck him as be-
ing curious; and it also reminded him Of
another curious fact, (at least curious as
taken in conncclinn with his sudden fiji ght)
namely. lha, when Mr.. Pelsins had 6rst
glanced AZ the face of The corpse, he star
ted. and turned deadly pale. MIR. VI. then
proceeded 10 his boarding house, and thence
10 his store. to look for his partner, but he
was to be found at neither; nor did he re-
Turn that night nor the next; nor The next;
and TWO months passed away without
bringing any intelligence of him, during
which time Mr.. Mowlt had fully made up
his mind that there was some mysterious
conueclion between his friend and the man
thai was found drowned. and thati in conse-
qnencc thereof. Nlr. PeIsing had iu all prob

Effects of State Debtupon Emigration
Among all the other evils entalled upon
some ofihe new States by the immense

They see that their title will not be alto

rent to be paid yearly by them and their
posieriry, or else that they will suffer the
reprnacb Of residing in dishonored and

The consequence will be that the troops
Of settlers will turn to The right and the
left TO avoid those States, or will press on
beyond them, and penetrate those wl!ds
which are yet free, and over which the Ill
omened bird of a corrupt and inflated cre-
din system of deb, and taxation has nor yet
spread her dreadful wings. The indebted
States will thus find that all their splendid
schemes of internal improvement, the glo-

strains by the Spectators, will not 20 one,

be a rorciblc example to the other new

neighbors have fallen. When will the

which flow from debls, either public or pri-
