MISCELLANY.

A KISSING HOLIDAY The English correspondent of the -New lork Commercial Autr tiser gives the following description of one of the Easter holidays, which he passed at a small town m the heart of Staflbrdshire-1 On descending to the little jarlor of the inn, on Monday morning, I perceived that all the household were in their gayest attire, and that no one entertained any serious notmns nfwnrkor business. I had despatched my solitary breakfast of ham and eggs, and other country dainties, and was looking out. with mixed feelings of delight and envy, thp nrosnect before me, when i the door of my room was suddenly tluns open, and six rosy cheeked. ringleted young women entered, tit-: tering very much, and looking very foolish at each other, and then at me. I am not vain; but to give the devil his due, I am a rather handsome fellow my mother has told me so a thousand times; but upon the whole, I was rather gratified at this piece of admiring attention. But to be left alone in a little room, with half a dozen girls, requires some non e; and I confess I began to feel rather qualmish. I am rather bashful, besides very bashful and therefore had a mortal repugnance to being thus exhibited gratis, and so, to put an end to the scene, I said, in as careless a tone as I could command. What's the matter, Mary?" -Well, sir," she answered, "I see you dou t xindcrderstand our wavs; but vou must sit in this chair, if vou please.' And she indicated a chair -which 1 had not perceived, in the back staves of which were entwined laurel, ivy, and flowers. Anxious to conciliate them, 1 complied with her request resining myself to my fate with desperate fortitude. Scarcely had I taken my seat, when they lifted me up in the chair, as high as they could, three or four times, laughing most outrageously at my looks of bewildered horror. I gave myself up for lost; an unfortunate young man, who had strayed lulu .nustie wilderness, far from his home and his friends, entrapped, ensnared, and forcibly carried away by six violently pretty girls. But if I was horror-struck at this proceeding, judge what was my consternation when the leader of the assailants, that ven Mary who had brought mv breakfast half an hour before, and leered upon me as only a charming, wicked waiting-woman can leer, advanced seized me round the neck, and impressed upon my halfparted lips a ferocious kiss! This was the climax. 1 defied destiny from that instant, and resolved to meet mv fate like a niartvr. "La, sir,' ' said Mary, "1 declare you are rmita il;imi,nl- I ni'ist. Ilivp iinntlipr just to bring vou to your senses." nA lj" nrttiir. oi ;t .1,,! kHV Oll 11U11 UUV.ilVs) bring me to my senses. How soon one gets used to kissing! All my terror had vanished at the salute of the third damsel, and I replied to the "lip-service'' at the sixth with interest. I got so fond of the sport i that I even wanted to repeat the performance, and would not have cared to employ the entire d;iy in such pastime. "Kow, sir," said Mary, ''you must know that this is our 'heaving day,' to-day the young girls 'heaves' the young men, whoever they can catch, gentle or simple; and to-morrow the young men 'heaves' we, if they can catch us: and them as don't get a kiss, man or woman, pays forfeit."' I was also informed that it was customary to give some trifling gratuity to the ladies, 'as a keepsake, a practice to which I conformed by giving them a trifle of money, which they did not keep long, and they left me well pleased with the success of their exploit, while I was no less so. I rode, in the mail coach, to within two miles of my friend's house, and walked the remaining distance. My road lay through narrow lanes and across fields, until I came upon a small village. Hitherto I had not met a soul; but was walking merrily on, whistling or singing, in love with all the world, not omitting the most important item in the aggregate myself. Butas I entered the straggling village, I could perceive gowns and many-colored caps, flirting backward and foiward, and had an intuitive conciousness of women resolved on heaving achievements, lying in ambush behind impervious hedges, which filled me with strange trepidation. I proW4dt however, calling up a look

of magnificent stand-off-or-I'll-bite-

vnn exnrcssion; tninkinjr, in me in nocence of my head, to check too fanilliaf advances by an assumed hauteur. I was miserably deceived, for a ! strong-built young lady, in a state j of most barbarous health, came for J ward to meet me, with an artful j carelessness of manner, evidently j wishing- to persuade me that 1 was 'in. unnoticed, and that she was only o . going to the spring for a pail of water, but when she arrived within grappling distance, she flung her pail away, clasped me rudely around the waist, and before I could say alas! she lifted me from my feet, and kissed me with violence, bhe ofl'ered no apology for thus assaulting me on the Queen's highway, but laughed in my face immoderateiyf ana cane(i out 'Sukey, I've got him!' Oh dear! scarcely had she spoken, before Sukey, and Bet, and roily, ami a dozen others, sprang into being from invisible places, and I was surrounded by a laughin c shouting group of unfeeling, robu tious females. I expostulated and entreated in vain 1 was pulled about, lifted up, and kissed without mercy; till, making a desperate rally, I burst from their embraces and fled along the lane, at the top of my speed, followed by derisive cheers from my baf fled persecutors, and shouts of laughter from their husbands, fathers, and brothers, who had left the Red Lion to sec the sport. Truth Stranger than FictionThe Pennsylvania correspondent of the St. Louis Republican, of May 2d, relates the following occurrence: A voung man recently made his escape from the galleys at Toulouse. He was strong and vigorous, and soon made his way across the country and escaped pursuit. He arrii ve( ne ncx morning he fore a cot tage in an open held, and stopped to beg something to eat, and concealment while he reposed a little. But he found the inmates of the X.tE.LS1-V AIB.

GREGORY. daxriage Without Courtship A ROMANCE WITHOUT FICTION. About three years ago, the Rev R. S. M'Clay, of Concord, Franklin county, Pa., (and late of Gettys burg, received a call from the Board of Foreign Missions connec ted with the Methodist Episcopal, Church, to visit China and preach the Gospel to the benighted Celes tials of the central flowery land. Mr. M'C. was young, ardent and enthusiastic, and most willingly em braced the high and holy duty as signed him. in due time he am ved in China, and was stationed at Fau Chau, some seven hundred miles in the interior from Hong Kong. There he studied the native language, and commenced his labor of love among the celestials, with the most flattering success. Still there was something wanting a void in the heart to be filled he sighed for that best solace toman, either in weal or woe a wife. How to get one, was an intricate question to solve, lhere was no American ladies there from whom he could make a choice, and as for a Chinese wife, the laws of the land forbade it, neitherdid his inclination desire it. What then was to be done! A fertile imagination can accomplish wonders a firm determination can surmount difficulties that would 'o'er top old Pelion.' He wrote to the Board of Missions on the subject he wrote in pathetic we might perhaps say poetic strains, of his lonely condition for the want of one on whom he could bestow his affections, and who would be the partner of his joys and sorrows through life, and ended by asking that the Board send him a young lady who would be willing to become his wife agreeable to his directions, which he sent in the form of a blank declaration to be filled up by the lady accepting the proposition. This was a novel proposition, but the Board was of opinion that the claim was a just one, and proceeded with due dilligence to search for the object desired, and strange to say, success crowned their effort. Sometime previous to the receipt of Mr. M'Clay 's letter a young lady, Miss Henrietta Sperry, of Brooklyn, N. Y., made application to the Board to be sent as a Missionary to China, but was refused on account of being unmarried. To her iU i;: f a t vr'ni uic VI i.il. i.ti JlUj Wixa i . i-.li i ji

sent for by Mr. M Clay, and the nuptial ceremony will be solemnized. The lady's personal attractians have been described to us, by one who had the pleasure of seeing her previous to taking sail on her mission of love. She is described as being beautiful and fascinating in appearance, and possesed of that charm of loveliness which should adorn every female character a well cultivated mind, stored with the richest gifts o o ' -w - - -j ol knowledge from the education, and a moral refinement which will bear with it the jewel of a bright inheritance beyond the confines of time. She is now on tho dark blue sea, where 'the hollow oak' her home must be for at least half a year. Who so dead to all feelings as not to admire such heroism? a young and lovely girl, forsaking home, friends, and all the dearest ties of earth to travel thousands of miles over the stormy billows, to dwell perhaps forever among Heathens, for the double purpose of affording consolation to a servant of God, in spreading the light among those who walk in darkness, is at once a moral and sublime undertaking, re quiring a degree of devotcdness and firmness that will compare favorably with the self-denial of the Spar tan woman of old. Heaven send propitious gales and waft the Tartar to her destination. Who can doubt but that a Union formed under such circumstances must be a happy one? Blair County Whig.

MOFPATS Life Pills and Phoenix Bitters, These Medicines have How- been before the nub. lic for a period of FIFTEEN Y2ABS.nd during that time have maintained a high character in almost eyery part of the globe for their extraordinary and immediate power of restorinw perieet health to persons suffering under Marly every kind of disease to which the human frame is liable. IN MANY THOUSAHDS of eertificated instances, they have even reacaed. sufferers from the very verge of an untimely mra. after all the deceptive nostrums of the day had ul terly failed ; and to many thousands they have permanently secured that uniform enjoymeitt f health, without which life itself is but a partial blessing. So great, indeed, has their efficacy bva. riably and infallibly proved, that it has annu

scarcely less than miraculous to thus who were acquainted with the beautifully philosophical priu. ciples upon which they are compounded, and npo which they consequently act It was to their manifest and sensible action in purifying the spriagi and channels of life, and enduing them with renewed tone and vigor, that they were indebted fat thrir name. Unlike the host of pernicious quaekeries which boast of vegetable ingredients, the LIFE MEDICINES are purely and solely vegetable ; and contain neither Mercury, nor Antimony, nor ArteTUC, nor any other mineral, in any form whatever. They are entirely composed of extracts from rare and powerful plants, the virtues of which, though long known to several Indian tribes, and recently to some eminent pharmaceutical chemists, are altogether unknown to the ignorant pretenders to medical science ; and were never bafon administered in so happily efficacious a combination. The first operation is to loosen from the cmti r the stomach and bowels the various impurities and crudities constantly settling round them ; and to setnove the hardened feces which collect in the convolutions of the small intestines. Other medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses behind to produce habitual Costrrs. ness, with all its train of evils, or sudden DiarrhoM with its imminent dangers. This fact is wall knowu to all regular anatomists who examine the human bowels after death ; and hence the prejudice of these well-informed men against the quack medicines of the ape. The second effect of the VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder ; and, bv this means, the liver and lungs, the healthful action of which entirely depeuds upon the regularity of the urinary organs. The blood, which takes its red color fiom the agency of the liver and lungs, before it passes into the heart, being thus purified by them. and nourished by looa coming trom a clean stamAek. courses freely through the veins, renews every past of the system, and triumphantly mounts the bamer of health in the blooming cheek. The following are among the distreaaing variety of human diseases in which the VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES "o weU known to be iafaihole : DYSPEPSIA, y thoroughly cleansing the first and second stomachs, and creating a flow of pare healthv bile, instead of the stale and acrid kind ; FLATULENCY, Lois of Appetite. Heartburn. Headache, Restlessneis, Ill-temper, Anxiety, Languor, and Melancholy, which are the general symptoms of Dyspepsia, will vanish, as a natural consequence of its cure. Costivene&S, by cleansing the whole length of the intestines with a solvent process, and without violence : all violent purges leave the bowels costive within two days. Diarrhoea and Cholera, by removing th sharp acrid fluids by which these complaints ars occasioned, and by promoting the lubricative srerction of the mucous membrane. Feven f H kinds, by restoring the Wood to a regular circulation, through the process of perspi. ration m such cases, and the thorough solutien tt all iutestinal obstruction in others. The Lire Medicines have been knowa ts cure RHEUMATISM permanently in three weeks, and GOUT in half that time, by removing local inflammation from the muscles and ligaments of the joints. Dropsies f a" kiuds, by freeing and strengthening the kidneys and bladder : they operate most delightfully, on these imports ,. from the tuntinp , A.'so ,V vir, j 'r-'-ing Trout Ji'ianian oi me boweis me si.my which creatures adhere. - Asthma aid Coummption, by relieving ths air-vessels of the lungs from the mucous which even slight colds will occasion, and which, if not removed, becomes hardened, and prtducn then dreadful diseases. SeBrvy, Ulcers, and Inveterate Sores, by the perfect purity which these LITE MEDICINES j"Te to the blood, and all the humors. Scorbutic Eruptions na Bad Complexions, by their alterative effect upon the fluids thai feed the skin, and the morbid state of which occasions all eruptive complaints, sallow, cloudy, aad othr disagreeable complexions. The use of these Pills for a verv short time will effect an entire cure of SALT RHEUM, and m striking- improvement in the clearness of the skinI POM MO COLDS and INFLUENZA will always be cured by one dose, or by two even in the worst cases. PILES. As a remedy for this most distress; n? and obstinate malady, the VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES deserve a distinct and emphatic recommeudation. It is well known to hundreds in this city, that the former proprietor of these valuable Medicines was himself afflicted with this complaint for upwards cf thirty-ml Tims; and that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed within the whole compass of the Materia Medic He however at length tried the Medicine which is Dow offered to the public, and he was cured in a very short time, after his recovery had been pronounced not only impiobable, but absolutely im possible, by any human means. FEVER AND AGUE. For this scourge of the western country thus Medicines will be found a safe, speedy, and certam remedy. Other medicines leave the system subject to a return of the disease a core by these medicines is permanent TRY THEM, BE SATISFIED, AND BE CURED. Bilious Fevers and Liver Complaints. General Debility, ho- Amm., Diseases of Females these medicines have oeea used with the most beneficial results in eases of this description Kiwo's Evil, and Scaon-LA, In ha worst forms, yields to the mild yet powerful actio ti these remarkable Medicines. Night Sweats, Nervous Desilitt, Niavocs Coi.rLAi.Trs of aW kinds, Palpitation or tbi Heaet, Pawtis's Colic, are speedily cured. ELERCURIAL DISEASES. Persons whose constitutions have become impaired by the injudicious use of Merccet, will Cud these Medicines a perfect cure, as they never fail to eradicate from the system all the effects ef Mercury infinitely sooner than the moat powerful preparations of Sarsaparilla. A single tnal wiD place them beyond the reach of competition, in ths estimation of every patient. BE CAREFCL OF COUNTERFEITS.
