Caught in his oton Iirap.-The cd

the following from the French:-"A

gentleman of the bar had, of course,
a sufficiently elastic conscience. He

that no third person overheard him,
replied Observation-Disclosures
ellie, according to our law, you alrea-
dy possess the means of forcing
man to marry you. You must re-
main on three occasions alone with
him; then you canswer before Judge

to have trifled with your affections
Very we'll, Monsieur. | will retain
you as counsel in the management of
this affair. Good day. A few days
afterwards, the young girl returned.
She is mysteriousiy received by the
lawyer, who, scarcely giving her
time to seat herself, questions her
with the most lively curiosity. We'll,
Mademoiselle, .hew do matters pros

severe in your design, Mademoiselle;
but mind, the next time you consult
me You must tell me the name of the
young man we are going to render
happy in spite of HIMSELF You shall
have it without fall A fortnight af-
forwards, the young person, more
saiue and candid than ever, knocked
dlscreetly at the door of her coun-
sells room. No sooner was she
within, than she flung herself hastily
into chair, saying that she had
mounted the stairs too rapidly, and
that emotion made her breathless.
Her counsel endeavored to re-assure
her; and made her inhale salts, and
even proposed to unIace her gar
ments. 1T is useless, Monsieur said
she, Il am much better We'll,
now do tell me the name of the for

lawyer, thus fairly caught, had the
good sense not to get angry. The
most singular fact of all is, that he a.

way makes an excellent housekeep.

Decision of character is one ofthe
most important of human qualities,
philosophically considered. Specula
OF man;it is action. We may by
fine education, learn to think most
correctly, and talk most beautifully;
but when 1t comes TO action, if we
are weak and undecided, we are of
all beings the most wretched. All
mankind feel themselves weak, beset
with infirmities, and surrounded with
dangers; the acutest minds arc the
most conscious of difficulties and dan
gers, They want, above all things,
leader with that boldness, decision,
and energy, which, with shame, thew
do not find in themselves. Give us
