Husband Catching.

Ola certain divine an anecdote is told,
which Hook used to say exceeded any
specimen of cool assurance that he had
ever exhibited. A young clerical friend
of his, staying at his house, happened 10
be sitting up one night reading, after the
family, as he supposed, had retired TO rest.
The door opened, and his excellent host
~reappeared in his dressing gown and slip

grceable enough TO you, rely upon it,
The fact is, Mrs. - and myself have
for some time observed the attention
which you have paid to Betsey. We can
make every allowance, knowing your
excellent principles as we do, for The diff
idence which has hitherto tied your
tongue, but it has been carried far enough.
In a worldly point of view, Betsey, Of
course, might do better, yet we have all
the highest esteem for you character
and disposilion-but then our daughter
she is very dear 10 us-and where her
happiness is at stake all minor c~onsidera-
tons must give way. We have, there
fore, after due deliberation-I must own
not altogether without hesitation-made
up our minds 10 the match. What must
be, must be (; you are a worthy fellow,
and, therefore, at a word, you have u
free and cordial consent. Only make
our child happy and we ask no more"

mistake. | really never thought, that is,

one Of those traits which has made you

Anxiety sharpens them. We saw well

band here she is. | have told Mrs.
- TO bring her down again for the
sooner young folks are put out Of sus-
pense the better. Settle the matter as
soon as you like; we will leave you to-
~gether." Thus saying, the considerate
papa bestowed a most affectionate kiss
upon his daughter, who was at this juno
,ure led into the room by her mother,
both en- dishabille, shook his future son
in-law cordially by the hand, and with a
"There, there, 60 along, Mrs. -" he
turned his wife out Of the room, and left
the lovers to their tete-a-tete.

PEDESTRIAN FEAT.-Mrs. Anna Nor

days since walked from her residence
in Milford TO the house of a friend in
Humphreysvillc, and returned again the

twenty-six miles, besides knitting, during
her visit TO the "Ville," two or three
inches in length Of a stocking! This is
a feat, though perhaps common TO our
revolutionary dunes, which would be
found dificultto perform by most ladies
