THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE.

A bridal party from Canada, consisting of the
mother Of the bride, her brother, and his wife,
and the twain who had just become one fiesh,"
came into the city on Friday last and put up at
one OF our principal hotels. In addition to the
pleasure trip in such cases made and provided,
the young men had an item of business in
view. One was blacksmith and the other an
artiicer in wood, and they had in contemplation
to locate in the city, hire house, work at their
trades, and live in peace and contentment. The
mother, with instructive thoughtfulness, had
brought along bed and other articles necessa-
ry for domestic comfort. She had also con-
siderable sum of money, which she proposed to
expend in setting her daughter up in housekeep-
ing, and prominent in her purse figured twenty
pound note which had been carefully treasured
for rainy day" or some jubilant occasion like
the present. But suddenly the JOY of the party
was changed to sorrow, and their rejoicings to
lamentations. f j
In the course of Saturday the son asked his
mother for the money she had, for the purpose
of exchanging it for current funds, and, in per-
feet confidence, she entrusted it to his charge.
In company with his wife he went to see the ell
ephant and effect an exchange of currency
Hour after hour was his return expected at the
hotel, but evening came and still the truant son
nad not MADE MS appearance. inquiries were
made, and it was ascertained the young man and
his other half had taken the cars for Erie, leaving
the newly married couple destitute of finances.
The grief and modification of the mother can
better be imagined than described, and the smiles
and bushes of the bride were exchanged for
tears. Her hopes were dashed to earth they CO. Id
not go to housekeeping, could not pay their ho.
tel bill, could not return to Canada, could not do
anything.
Here was trouble enough for the first day af
ter marriage. The old lady stormed and wept
by turns, while the bride did nothing but sol
out femenine imprecations on her cruel brother
1t was not so much the money they cared for
they could earn more--but their family had al
ways been respectable, and it was burning dis
grace that member of it should be a thief anG
runaway. They did not wish him arrested
tha: would only add to their distress The son
in.law, fortunately, had little money, and by
the assistance of the gentlemanly hotel proprie
tor, the remnant of the bridal party were enabled
to 90 in search of relations, residing not far from
the city. The son with his ill-gotten cash, will
probably manage to live miserably somewhere
till he is provided with quarters within ston,
walls, an event which may not be far distant.

her nose was magnificent failure. We staid
with her a week, and left because she seemed to
be possessed of the idea that one sausage was
enough for two men. For month longer we
run the gauntlet of all the model boarding hou-
ses. We were entrapped by all kinds of allu-
ring promises, and perpetually swindled without
any regard to decencey; we had a taste OF YAM
kee, French, Dutch, and have mentioned it be-
fore, Eye gods y Irish /; and we lived four days
in an establishment, presided over by red-eyed
darkey, with wife the color Of new saddle.
AT last one day in an agony of despair exclam.

ity find decent place to feedw Echo answer
ed, In the eating houses" We resolved to try
it, and the result is glorious, We have achiev-
ed victory, sir, an heroic, and unexpected VIC
tory.
And now farewell, all scrawny landladies, ye
snnffy beldames, with your wooden smiles /;
farewell ye viviparous bedsteads, ye emaciated
feather beds, and ye attenuated holsters; adieu
to scant sheets and mattresses stuffed with sha-
wings; farewell to hirsute butter, and to ancient
bread good bye, Q say it with a tear0 ye i'm

farewell ye antidiluvian pies, and you liliputan
puddings farewell ye two-inch NAPKINS and ye
holy table-cloths; farewell ye empty CRATES and
rusty coal scuttes; adieu ye cracked mirrors
which make man look like a drunken Satyr;
farewell ye respectable chairs with dislocated
limbs; adieu ye fractured teacups, ye broken
forks, and knives with handsaw edges; farewell
in fact, all we lodging houses, where you can't
have a latch key, and where you can tell when
they get new hired girl by the color of the
hairs in the biscuit.

Give us joy for we have found place where
things are done up right, where we choose our
own viands, where the beef is positively tender,
where there are no little red ants in the sugar,
where the potatoes are not waxy, and where,
if any thing goes wrong, we can initiate the wait
er.
In fact, we are not stinted: if anything ruus
short, John gets particular fts," and" nuthing
shorter;" where we can eat aohen we please and
call for what we please; where charges are mod
crate, and it is permitted to d--n the waiter
for nothing. And here in this Elysian spot have
Bull Dogge and taken our daily bread, (beans
and butter included) for the last month, with
out fear and without reproach."

The ARTIc REGIoNs.-The mosquitoes are
more troublesome in the regions of perpetual
ice than they are in hot lattudes. Some of the
officers of the British sloop-of-war Trincomalee,
recently at San Francisco. from Port Clarence,
in Behring's Straits, say that the mosquitoes
were more numerous than in Central America.
They inhaled them by the mouthful, and could
not walk ont without handkerchief or veil
over their faces. @H
The natives are exceedingly docile, and very
intelligent; but, as is the case with the Esqui.
maux generally, very lazy. The only wood they
can procure is that drifted from-no one knows
where-out of which by management of walrus
tusks and whalebone, they contrive admirable
spears and bows and arrows for killing the seal
and bear, of which animal their winter stock of
food is formed. During the latter part of win
ter, they are reduced to state of semi.starva-
ton, and then are even content to eat the hides
of animals, in which fare their dogs-a noble
looking breed-have share. One mode they
have of catching the bear is by piece of frozen
blubber, in which is doubled piece of whale
bone; the animal greedily swallows 1.-THE
blubber thaws, the whalebone stretches, and
the brute dies in agony. sof 81, eot

SUIcIDE.-Early yesterday morning the body
of young man, genteely dressed, was found on
the levee between Myrtle and Elm streets. The
cause of his death is explained in the following
letter, written in the French language, which
was found on his person: ""
81 beseech the person who finds my body not
to make inquiry, for the act was mine; ! am
my own murderer. Ny name is Francois Hem
ry DeLonguille. l was born in Paris, on the
4th day April, 1928. My family were in the
great enterprise of l849. was married to a
rare spirit, and thought my happiness would
always continue. left my native land with
small family, in the month of May, and arrived
in New Orleans on the Oath of July, 1854. But
alas! after tasting Of happiness for fifteen days,
great fatality overlook me. My dear beloved
wife was attacked with cholera, and after two
hours of great suffering she died. She was
hardly enshrouded when my little boy, aged
three years, died of the same disease. My dis
tress was great but God had left me little girl,
thirteen months old, which gave me strength to
resist the misfortune that had occurred to me,
and in this little innocent | could see the like
ness of my beloved wife, and could ask no
more of God but to live for my child. But
God was willing again to afilict, by taking eve-
ry thing that was left for me in this world. On
the goth of October last, had the misfortune
to close the eyes of my treasure, my child
Having nothing to condole me, resolved to
quit life myself Let no one blame me, for life
was a burthen." ST. Louis Republican.
