GOSSIP OF PARIS.

Eugene Guinol, who fills very agreea-
bly, the post of .feuiLLetOniSt in the Paris
Steele, always manages 10 collect together
variety of amusing gossip for his portion
of the columns of that paper. In one of
the recent numbers this story is told as
french femilletOniSt only could tell it,
An adventure which took place at the
last soirce of the Chateau Rouge, might
|. furnish the subject for a sketch of our con-
temporaneous manners. Last Monday
evening, in the smiling and beautiful gar
dens Of the Chaussee de Clignancoun, a
young dandy, something OF Viscount as
most Of them are, prosecuted a pretty GGrO-
ness OF the Rue Breda, who did not appear
disposed to listen 10 him very favoFably,
with his eager homage Yet our hero had
every thing that is necessary 10 please; he
wore little hat without brim, a ribbon
for cravat, an embroidered shirt, a coat
of immoderately small size, with skirts
three inches long, a vest which reach TO
the middle Of his thighs, and pataloons
large enough 10 cover the column in the
Place Veudome and that TO commemorate
the Revolution. But alas the Baroness
was insensible 10 so much merit, and
showed a most diSobliging disdain, cold
ness, and WEAKNESS II her ardent admirer
But he was la no ways discouraged he
offered bouquet, proposed refreshments,
ne sought a waltz, begged for a polka,
claimed a rodows, and above all, he soli-
cited the honor of being the cavalier ofthe
Baroness, and Of conducting her 10 her
residence after the ball. All this was said
and done in the most aristocratic and pureSt
style. The gentleman peTceiving his
want Of success, redoubled his amiability,
and said in that charming lone which only
belongs 10 people Of quality:
POUNDS my most Allowable, do you
know you are very difficult 10 please, and
that I am not used to being trcaied so BY

MIsCHLLANY.
THE CAPTAIN,S YARN.


Conversing with the captain of vessel
the other day, he related the following
anecdotes II had first rate officer who
sailed with me for several years. He was
an excellent seaman and perfect gentle
man. remember took him once 10 the
Italian opera in London, and he expressed
himself perfectly satisfied with the perfor-
mances, though he had no ear for music,
didn't understand the language, and was
Too bashful to look at .fguranter. Apar-
ticular and very amiable trait of his char
acter was his domestic affection. Sailors,
rowing about the world, are seldom very
constant: in fact they too often act up to
the libertine proposition of Marmontel-
Quad on ma pas ce qu' on aime, il faut
aime ce du' on a. But this man was per-
feet model of conjugal fidelity. He was
always speaking of his wife--(he had no
children) always buying presents for her
in every port he visited.
Well, one duy-we were lying of the
river Gambia, in Africa my mate after
dinner, leaned back iii his chair, and fell
asleep went on deck to smoke cigar.
When | came back, found poor M. lying
on the cabin floor corpse! A sudden
stroke ofapopexy had kiIledhim was in
expreSsiby shocked. He had sailors
grave, and every heart on board the brig
was heavy at his loss On the home voy-
age, was thinking all the while of the
agony OF Ms poor wife when hearing of
his death, and how | could breathe the
news to her. She always flew down to
the pier as soon as she heard our brig was
coming up the bay, and | believe she
could read every signal flag that was
thrown out from the station. Well, we
had no sooner made fast to the wharf,
when down came handsome hack, and
out springs the mates pretty wife, rugged
out from top to toe like first rate frgate
on a gala day, with lathom or two ofrib-
on towing astern of her. Poor girl!
thought /; how soon my tale will blench
the roses of your cheek. My husbandP
she inquired, as she sprang lightly on deck,
showing pair of tiny feet cased in the
daintiest satin boots that ever q French
shoemaker turned out. I'm sorry to say,
madam said |, that he has been very
Sick The color cana and went into her
cheek. Tell me all she cried, grasping
my arm. We'll then, mqdan,' said ], ifI
must say it, he is dead Glad oft by jim
gop was her answer She was ashore and
off again in the tying of reef point-and
the next week she was married TO mer-
chants clerk. The Captain plunged his
hands deep in the pockets of his pilot coat,
"Pm a bachelor, said he, The worse
for yo:,' was our answer, exceptions only
prove rules"

POETRY.
GOOD NIGHT.

. Good night and may the god of sleep
Press gently on thy brow,
And on thy lip may softly creep
The smile that plays there now.
All undisturbed be thy repose
BY visions Of grim care,
And thy Young heart so light, that woes
May find no dwelling there.
While angels guard thy downy bed,
May fear of i'll depart,
And brightwiugcd peace play round thy head,
And nestle in thy heart.
May all thy dreams be happy themes
Ofjoy, and love, and light,
And all thy life be like thy dreams
So once again-good night!

THE ANGELS WING.
By sAMUHL LoYER.

BY SAMUEL LOVER.
There is a German superstition that when
a sudden silence takes place in company, an
angel at that moment makes circuit around
them, aud the first person that breaks the 81
lencc is supposed TO have been touched by the
wing OF a seraph. For the purposes of poe
try thought two persons preferable to many,
in illustrating this beautiful superstition.
When by the evenings quiet light
There sit two silent lovers,
They say, while in such tranquil plight
An angel round them hovers;
And further still, old legends tell
The first who breaks the silent spell,
10 say soft and pleasing thing,
Hath felt the passing angels wing.
Thus musing minstre! stray'd
BY the summer ocean,
Gazing on a lovely maid,
With bards devotion:
Vel his love he never spoke,
Till now the silent spell he broke,
The hidden fire to fame did spring,
Fannd by the passing angels wing
" ! have Loy'l thee well and long,
With love of heavens cwn making
This is not poets song,
But a true hearts speaking
/ viii love thee, sill unlired p
He felt he spoke, like one inspired
The words did from Truths fountain spring,
Unwakencd by the angels wing
Silence DER the maiden FILL,
Her beauty lovolcr making;
And BY her blush he knew full well
The dawn OF love was breaking.
II came like sunshine Ger his heart!
lie felt that they should never part,
He spoke-and olf!-lhe lovely thing
Had felt the passing angels wing.

KISSING ANOTHER MANS WIrE.-

KISSING ANOTHER Mans WIFE.-A
case is on trial in Ne~buryport, Mass,
founded on the following circumstances,
detailed in letter TO the Boston TRAVELLER:
A young gentleman Of unexceptionabIe
character, engaged In business in one of
our Southwestern cities, who usually
spends his summers with his friends in
Newbnry, in taking leave of his mother,
some two years since, ventured to give a
parting kiss to a young married woman
who resided under the same roof with his
parent, and with whom his family were
on the most friendly terms. The husband
was at that time absent, but on his return,
being apprised of the liberty that had been
taken, he resolved on vengeance.
1t was not, however, until this summer
that he had any opportunity Of gratifying
his passion During the young mans
usual summer visit to his friends, he was
one evening decoyed, without suspicion of
the fell purposes, into a neighbours house,
where he met the angry husband, with
his wife and his brother and was beaten
in most dnstardly manner. After being
thrashed with a cowhide until the skin
was nearly broken in many places, he was
knocked down, stamped, aud terribly
pounded.
When bis assailants had been inter-
rupted by the timely arrival of neighbor,
who had been called by a member Of the
family, one of them was kneeling on the
young mans breast and beating him in
the face in a most brutal manner. He
was fortunately rescued, bat not until he
had received some severe injuries, from
which he may not fully recover for some
time.
The assaiants have been prosecuted,
and it is hoped will receive full justice
from New England court.
