any future time that is more suitabler

tell him, indefatigably, that the cense-

Law in St. Petefsburgh.

An English merchant, resident in
ST. Petersburgh, desired to marry a
Russian lady. which cannot be done
without a special edict from the En-
peror. He had given up all hopes.
when, n evening, a friend happen
ing 10 find the Emperor in a good
humor. represented the matter to him,
and desired his permission. "Let
Miss A. and Mr.. B, be married imme.
diately," was the order given by Mich
oias. This Ukase was signed at 6
P. NJ, by ten, it had passed through
the offices of registry, whence, by II
o'clock, it was in the hands of the
synod, and by midnigh, the police
were trotling the streets to put it in
execution without delay.
Mr.. - was fast asleep, when a
laundering rap at the door frightened
him awake. Visions of the Knout,
and the like, hoated before his hail
awakened brain, when the b~ear-faced
soldiers burst into his chamber and
ordered him to dress and follow. sin
Gods name what have ! DONE" he
exclaimed, "where am ! to gof'-

Of night! ave have Il warrant for

ceeded to read, "By the grace of God,

orders the marriage of Mr.. A. to Miss
B., to be sclemnized Immediately &C.
lyon see this admits of nc delay
observed the officer gravely. The
astonished merchant was then hurried
off TO a Priest, and thence in compa-
nv with this f~unctionary, to the house
of the lady, who was Numbered up
in the same way; and ere her eyes
were fairly opened. or her dishabille
half arranged, the twain yer one
flesh. The clergyman attested the
execution Of the sentence, and alb
ruptIy departed with the officers,
leaving the astounded couple TO get
over their confusion, consider what
ought TO be done next, and finish their
broken slumber at their leisure.

Shooting Riotsrs.-The N. York
Tribune says that Seigle, who was
arrested for shooting Blake and 10Th
er rioters at Syracuse, N. York,'on
new years eve, has been acquitted.
1t appeared on examination that a
conspiracy had been formed. by the
rowdies Of Syracuse and Salt Point
to break up the ball at all events; and
Mr.. S. having heard of it, prepared
himself to meet the emergency. 1t
appeared that be had called for the
presence OF a peace officer to pre-
vent any outbreak that, might occur.
Blake is not expected to survive his
wounds.

Vol. IlI...NO. l9
CONGRE IS.

In the House, on the 5th, Nj. Ad-
ans and c. ]. Ingersoll had a decided
flare up on a privileged question:
While the territories were replying
to the call for resolutions, Mr.. /. NOV
ed TO go into Committee of the Whole
upon the Jackson fine. This was OBJ
Ijected to by Mr.. Beardsley as out Of
ordsr, the House having, by general
consent, passed over some motion FIX
ing a day 10 consider the rules, and
determined TO 60 through with the
call for resolutions, &c. The Speak
er, however, considered the motion
as in order, when Mr.. Adams. with
much warmth, protested against his
decision, and appealed from 1t, and
said that he considered the motion q
breach Of faith. MIR. Ingersoll, in a
passion, said he hurled back the charge
Of breach of faith, annd said he was
less capable Of breaches of faith than
the gentleman from Massachusetts,
and he had never made asy. Mr..
Adams had been called to order by
several gentlemen, while lRgersoll
was allowed to proceed without In
terruption. Mr.. Adams made a re-
mark like this: 81 don't call the gen.
tleman TO order. | care 20 little for
a anything he has to say, that shall
moi call him to ORDER" Mr.. !. said
he would make him stake care" and
Mr.. A. raised his inger in a scornful
manner and said he defed him. Here
the Speaker interfered and they took
their seats.
Mr.. White, Of Kentucky, said that
the motion was most extraordinary.
By an act Of courtesy Mr.. A. had de-
clined to interrupt the States from
presenting petitions, until all the
States were called upon. Never,
while he was in the chair, had a gen.
tleman lost his right to revive action
upon'a motion under such circumstan-
ces. He protested against 1t, and
thought it most extraordinary that
such a proposition should be submit
ted.
The Speaker here gave this as his
understanding of the matter, and Mr..
/. withdrew his motion.
The House then by a vote OF 1Ol
to 80, reconsidered a vote refusing to
make the rules the order Of the day
for Tuesday, which opened the mat
ter of the rules, abolition, &C., TO a
protracted debate. Most Of the
Speakers were in favor Of resembling
the 2lst rule. Mr.. Clingmsn, OF N.
Carolina, made a very sensible speech
in favor of resembling the rule. Be-
fore.the question was taken, DR.. Dun
can moved an adjournment, which
was carried.

Broken Heart.

People talk an everlastin' sight Of
nonsense about wine, women and
horses. I've bought and sold 'em all,
I've traded in all of 'em, and tell
YOU, there amt one in a thousand that
knows a grain about either on EN-
You hear folks say. Oh such a man
i, an ugly grained critter, he'll break
his wife's heart; jlst as if a woman's
heart was as brittle as a pipe stalk.
The female heart. as far as my exPe-
rience goes, i. jist like a new Indian
rubber shoe; you may pull and pull
at it till il stretches out a yard long,
and then let go, and it will fly right
back TO its old shape. tell you,
there's a plaguy sight OF wear IN
'em.
V knnwd hut n case OF a
broken heart, and that vas IN tolher
sex, one Washington Banks. he
was a sneezer. He was tall enough
10 spit down on the heads Of your
grenadiers, and near about hlgt, E.
nouch to wade ncross Charleston NV
or, and as strong as n tow boat. !
guess he was somewhat less than a
feet longer than the moral law and
chatectisn too. He was a perfect
picture Of a man; you couldn't fault
him in no particular; he was so just
a made c%ri,,er, folks used 10 run to
the window when he passed, and say
there goes Washington Banks, beant
he Iovelv9 ! do believe there wasn't
a gal in the Lowell factories, that
want in love with him. Sometimes
at intermissi'n, on Sabbath days,
when they all came out together, ian
amazin handsome sight too, near a.
bou, a whole congregation Of young
gals) Banks used to say, ! VOW, young
ladies', wish | had five hundred arms,
TO reciprocate one with each OF you;
but | reckon ] have a heart big enough
for You all-It's a Wrapper, you may
depend, and everv mite and morsll Of
il at your service" Well, how you
do act, Mr.. Banks, half a thousand
little clipper tongues would say, all
at the same time. and their dear lit
tie eyes a sparkIin, like so many stars
twinklin of a frosty night.
Well, when ! last seed him, ne
was all skin and bone, like a horse
turned out to die. He was t~eetotally
defieshed, a mere walkin skeleton. |
am dreadful sorry, says !, to see you,
Banks, lookin so peecked; why you

Com fortabie 10 Tobacco Smokers.

Comfortable 10 Tobacco Smokers.
-When distilled at a temperature
above that of boiling water. tobacco
affords an empyreumatIc oil, which
Mr.. Brodie has proved to be a most
virulent poison. This is the oleagi-
nous substance which generates in
pipe-stems. A single drop admins
tered to a cat, occasloned death in
about five minutes, and double the
quantity administered TO a dog in the
same manner, was followed by the
same result. This oil, as is well
known to al pipe.smokers, is of a
dark brown color, of an acrid taste.
and a peculiarly d~isagreeable smell.
Its active principle is Nicotin, a sub
stance so highly poisonous, that small
birds perish at the approach OF a pipe
containing it! Yet men and women
do not scruple TO inhale the deleteri.
ous vapour from which this oil is con.
densed! The fact cannot be doubted
that MANY Of the nervous diseases
which battle the best directed efforts
of The best physicians, arise from the
poisonous use Of Tobacco. The ami

A Centenarian.--Died, recently,
at Calais, Maine, Mrs. Christophers,
at the age of nearly 100 years. A
writer in the Calais Advertiser, saws
she was the sister of the bethrothed
Of young Hale, who was executed on
Long Island as a spy by the British
during the Revolution, and whose fate
bore a strong resemblance to that Of
Andre; the enterprise which cost him
his life, having been undertaken al
the special request of Washington.
The afisnced bride, overwhelmed by
her misfortune, withdrew from socle-
ty and spent her remaining days with
the Single Sisters among the Moravi
ans.

Conversational POUerS.-Fluency
in conversation must not be ascribed
as a test of talent. Men Of genius
and wisdom have often been found
deficient in its graces. Adam Smith
ever retained in company the embar-
raised manners Of a student. Meth
er Button nor Rosseau carried their
eloquence into society. The silence
of the poet Chaucer was held more
desirable than his speech. The con-
versation Of Goldsmith did not evincs
the grace and tenderness that charac-
terize his compositions. Thompson
was difident and uninteresting.-
Dante was taciturn, and all the brill.
ancy of Tasso was IN his pen. Des-
cartes seemed formed for solitude
CowIey was a quaint observer; his
conversation was slow and dull, and
his humour reserved. Hogarth and
Smith were absen,-minded, and the
studious Thomas Parker said that he
was fit for no communion, save with
the dead,-Our own Hamilton, Frank,
lin, and a host Of others, were def
Gent in that fuency which often fas'
cinates a promiscuous circle.

ment purporting to be a confession
by Mrs. Polly Bodine, the woman
charged with the murder of Capt.
Houseman's wife and child on Staten

OF the murder until informed of it by
Waite, the apothecary. He, ii is al.
lodged by Mrs. Bodine, perpetra.

the fact to her. The Sun of the
same day, also contains a letter from
Waite, in which he, as a matter Of
course, solemnly declares his inno-
