CoURTsHIp IN PuNs.--A certain Mr.. Par
being smitten with the charms of a certain Miss
Ann Marr, provincial belle,-whom he met at
Harrowgate, was exceedingly perplexed to con-
trive how he should open his heart to her. At
length he met her, and it was for the last time
that season, at public breakfast; and, in the
dread Of losing her forever, he resolved, even
there, to make desperate effort to pop the
question. Fortune favored the attempt: Il
happened that opposite the gentleman there
was a plate Of Parmesan cheese, and near the
lady stoon q crystal dish of marmalade. nWilI
you do me the honor to accept of little Par
Miss Ann 7" said the lover with look full os
meaning, and moving his hand toward the
cheese. aTell me first" replied the damseJ.
with admirable readiness, lifting, at the same same
time, the top of the crystal, "whether or not
you are fond Of MAJ, my lad ~ aAbove all
things IN existencep exclaimed the enraptured
youth. The offers were mutually accepted and
understood as pledges Of personal attachment
by the parties, although nobody else compre.
hended the equivoque, or discovered anything
IN the transaction but common civility. The
treaty thus opened was soon ratified, and Miss
Ann Mari was invested with the title of Mrs.
Par.

Mr. SEWARD presented two petitions which
Were appropriately referred.
Washington sentinel., 1854-01-12

seconded and the question was stated on referring
the resolution to the Committee Of the Whole on
the state of the Union.
Mr.. DEAN wished it to be understood, dis
tinctly and nnequivocaly that he preferred the
reso ution now before the House to the one which
he offered on the second day of the session. He
was IN favor of the resolution, because il came
from one OF the standing committees ofthe House,
and because II went forth 10 the world as having
been deliberately adopted by the Committee ON
Foreign Affairs and maturely considered He did
not care for the wording of the resolution. The
people, in looking at the vote of thanks and the
presentation of a medal, will regard the thing not
the particular phraseoogy, and will say the repre-
sentatives, IN Congress assembled, approve Of
what they have SO emphatically endorsed The
declaration of principle was the object for which
the resolution was introduced, and Congress by
passing the resolution will affirm the principle II
contained three distinct points First the right of
man 10 expatiate HIMSELF and choose his own
residence, irrespective of the place of his birth ;
secondly, the right of this government TO afford
protection to such persons as may choose to come
TO this country, and adopt il as their residence;
and thirdly, the approval by this Congress Of the
act OF Captain lngraham, and the act of this gov
ernment in sustaining Captain Ingraham.
Mr.. CUMMING, (Mr. DEAN yielding the foor,)
said he intended 10 vote for this resolution, but
could not subscribe 10 the ground assumed by the
gentleman from New York. He could not con-
sent that compliment intended to be paid TO Cap
tain lngraham should go forth 10 the world as The
exposition Of a great principle, as the gentleman
called il. He repeated he was In favor OF the re-
solution, as due TO a gallant, chvalrous comman-
der and was perfectly willing to vote for il as a
vindicaiion Of our common humanity.
MIR. DEAN concluded his remarks when the
House refused 10 commit the resolution to the
Committee of the Whole on the State Of the
Union-yeas 30, nays lo3.
The amendment Of Mr.. PnILIps was rejected.

Besides, over one. third of our population has been

OF the State declare him personally liable.

The New York Tribune received for one al
vertisement in the weekly paper, eight hundred
and sixty one dollars for single insertion The
advertisement contained 1922 hnes-the charge
being fifty cents per line The Tribune says this
is the largest sum ever paid for single insertion
of advertisement. and yet the advertiser consid-
ers it a good investment of his money.
If his goods are really what the people need
and are superior and cheaper to those offered by
Others he will find his money returned hundred
