PHuNNr.-Thc sanctity of our Office
was invaded the other day by droll-
looking parsonage, whose phiz, long by
nature, was made much longer by pas
sion his countenance livid, and haggard
as the picture of "Death on the pale
horse," was flushed with excitement |;
the arteries and veins on the end of his
olfactory organ were distendcd by the
heated blood, just ready to burst from
its limits; his sunken eyes cleaned with
the fire which burned within, while his
hair and whiskers returned the fiery
glow his shaking form by nature made
too scant, and his quivcring lips of ashen
hue, all told plainly Of the passion which
seemed to burn his very vitals. With
hurried step he placed himself by our
side and demanded if zoe were the Gre
sponsible editor" OF course, we were
happy to own the title. "Then," said
he, F" l forbid you, sir, under the penalty
Of the laws of Rhode Island, sir, before
witnesses, sir, to make use of my name
in your paper, sir !" We were thunder
struck We asked for an explanation,
but, net deigning to answer us, he left
our presence with all the dignity of a
prince sitting on his caput. We we're
confounded, terror-strickcn, bewildered
and perplexed. And now, we do most
solemnly avow, Z" before witnesses" that
it has never been our intention or desire
to cucumber our columns with said gen.
tleman's name ; indeed, we were in
danger of forgetting that he existed had
we not been forcibly reminded of the
fact by his appearance. We are sorry
that he should get so excited about SC

alizing upon the rapid ascent Of Louis
Napoleon up the ladder of ambition,
from positive poverty to superlative
grandeur and power, recalls some remi-
niscences of his sojourn in New York,
many years ago. The editor says -
Strange events have occurred within
few years in reference to that man.
We knew him while at a lodging-house
in Reade Street, then kept by gentle
man who now occupies high official
position under the French Government.
At that time he was very poor, and very
dissipatcd. Notoriously profigate in
his hal its, and without the pecuniary
ability to indulge to the bent of his in
clination, the culpable propensities
which characterized him, he was fire.
quontly expelled from certain places in
which he obtruded himself, aud more
than dozen times was the occupant OF
cell at the old Jail in the Park, long
since torn down. Not long prior to his
leaving the United States, he WAS ar
rested for misdemeanor, committed by
him at the disreputable house of woman
whose establishment he often visited
and the writer of this article was en-
ployed professionally by him to save him
from the threatened consequences of his
recklessness and indiscretion. We little
thought at that time that the thought

client, (and who is still indebted to us
for counsel fees and disbursements,

HD~ Louis Napoleon, was to have
been united, by civil act on the 22d,
and by religious rites on the Goth of last
month, to Senorita Eugenia de Teba,
or as she is more usually known, Mile
dc Montijo, Countess of Teba, the
daughter of Spanish nobleman. She
is rather good looking, about twenty
five years of age, and has an independ.
ent income of about $4,000 a year
This marriage of the Emperor does not
seem to be relished by his ministry, who
demonstrated, threatened and resigned ;
but all to no purpose, for with his cha
racteristic doggedness he persisted in
having his own way, and SO the ministry
were fain to submit. The probability
is that this marriage will hasten his
downfall which seems to be almost in
evitable before many years, perhaps
months. Tho uncle's downfall might
be dated from marriage of policy; it
is in the range Of historical ju.tice that
the nephew should date his from mar
riage Of passion.

Aky- We wish the democratic papers
would call Mrs. Pierce the soife of the
President elect, instead of his iady.
They arc legally married, and she is en-
titled to the name Of wife. Besides, it
shocks our ideas of morality to hear it
said that the President elect of the
United States is travelling around SO
much with any other woman than his
wife. If any Of the democratic papers
labor under the impression that the title
Of wife is not grand enough, we can as
sure them that Blackwood's Magazine,
which is high aristocratic authority, has
fully endorsed it, in long and excel
lent article, the text of which was taken
from paragraph in this paper.

There has been much dispute as to
who St. Valentine was, or why he Cor
as some contend, she)-was chosen the
patron saint of lovers. And the time
when this festival was instituted seems
almost as much of mystery. But it
is generally conceded that certain good
old bishop-Valentine yclept, whose
gracious features are lost in the mists of
antiquity-enjoys the honor of originat-
ing the observance among men, although
the birds had long the start of us, and
paired on that day. Were it the golden
summertime of dreaming, and not a
brief and bare winter day, it would be
easy enough to fancy that boys and girls
wishing to give poetic hue of dis
tance and the sanction of religion to the
most natural and beautiful of sentiments
had, therefore, thrust the origin of the
festival into the past and upon bishop.
Or, was it only the exquisite revenge Of
some melancholy old ascetic, whose
Office debarred him from love, so to en-
courage love among others, that the day
became his, and the name of him who
might not love, the delight of lovers.
But as We have no very reliable author
ity on this point we shall have to do the
best we can with what we have.
During the first century of the Christ
ian era, there was st. Valentine be-
headed by Claudius, at Rome, and it is
supposed by many that he is the one
from whom the festival took it's name ;
though there is nothing in his life re-
corded in history which could have
formed the slightest ground for the
peculiar ceremony with which his birth
day has for, at least, four centuries been
commemorated. For the reader curious
in such lore, we will cite from tho
books.
In Brande's Popular Antiquities, ,
we find the opinion expressed that tho
Observance of Valentines s Day originated
in an ancient Roman custom of choos.
ing patrons, on the fourteenth of Feb.
ruary, for the year to come; a custom
which, at the time Of the Reformation
was taken up by gallantry, and SO KEEP

last session, is in circulation in this city.
A copy has been placed in theMerchant's
Exchange Room for signatures. The
petition is signed by Robt. G.. Shaw,
Abbott Lawrence, and other distinguish

reason for signing it to be that the law
trenches upon the rights of American
citizens.-Boston Irarclcr. ,...
bv~ The true reason is, no doubt, that
Mr.. Lawrence finds the liquor law detri-
