Ben Sterling, an elderly Jack tar, with a
groggy expression OF counlenance, presented
himself at the bar this morning, in company with
a female dressed in dirty calico grown. fly.
flap bonnet. grey stockings and stuff shoes. The
lady had artistically adorned her cheeks with
two deep red spots each about The size of dol.
lar, and as truly circular as if they had been
marked out by pair of compasses. But as
all minute descriptions Of female beauty are in
bad taste, we shall not give a lengthy accoun,
ofthe fair ones nose, &C., but proceed at once

his lovely companion 10 the venerate presence
of Mayor Swift. That amable public function.

" Married does he Is the fellow drunk :"

old bachelor bystander 0
"Do you mean TO marry this woman!" asked
the Mayor.

His honor seeing that Ben was not disposed
to be caplious about uifes, speedily put him in
legal possession Of Betsy's person and proper
ty, and the old salt tugged ou, his wallet, and
paid the marriage fee with the air of a man
who thinks he has 60, the worth of his money.
Some of the police officers, who knew Betsy
by sight and character, exchanged significant
smiles as the happy couple withdrew.

On a Bust.

On Sunday morning week, about o'clock
horse. saddled and bridled, was taken out of
the river, at Philadelphia, where he was dis
covered by the crew Of schooner, and placed
at The stables of public house, subject 10 the
demand ol the owner, il however being feared
that he had been drowned. But the horse as
claimed during The day, by young man from
Buslleon, town twelve miles above the city,
who stated he had come there the evening be-.
lore, gone to the theatre and gol on a glorious
6ust-and that was the last he remembers until
he found himself swimming in the river, and
climbing up the wharf. His story was not at
first credited, bnl on investigation it was found
to be. correct. There is no telling what foles
man may commit, when his ideas are inspi-
red by free indulgence in The q nectar of The
gods, or, more properly speaking, debashed
by the swill of the pot-house.--Leb. Courier.
