From the Western Journal. MUD. If correctly 1 remember It htf raised since last September ; In all my life when stuck together, 1 never saw such muddy weather; Who ever saw since Noah's flood Such a quaotity of mud ! Better far it would snow, Rain or bail or even blow ; It makes one so confounded dull It stupify'a their very skull, It Ells one up with spleen and painsOh Jupiter see how it rains! A lady cannot go to church. For fear of sticking- 1m the lurch; .Nor can she ever go a shopping, For fear of m the gutter popping; Such weather caflnot be withstood,Over head and earft in mud! If a dandy cleans his boots. In the gutter down be shoots; Dirties pantaloons and slocking! c-,tJpon hinanuT it is shocking" Then to show his spunk and blood, He rails and swears and d ns the mud, ' E'en the lawyer in his studdy; Finds his intellects grow muddy; He says it is a humid season; He drinks gin, brandy or champaign, And tries to counteract the rain. The "blue devils" flock in legions To the epigastic regions; Then the Doctor makes ipology Quoting from his phsiology, And for his fees he plies so handy, Ki3 msgnus raodus-oerandi The farmer sets quite discontented, (Especially if he has rented) He cannot even thrash his grain Because it will not cease to rain. Nor can be even chop bis wood For fear of being tost in mud. The duns are all in sad condition 6 By muddy rboted politicians, ' Who on every occasion Curse mud, and the Administration-, And swear that mud and Clay', Are ro wing fouler every day. E'en the poor chop fallen printer Anticipates a wretched winter. His patrons, (whilst the roads are dirty, As twenty nine do out of thirty,) Cannot make their payments goodAll attributed to mud. Canal men, dry men, farmers, teachers', Actors, jugglers, traveling preachers, Tanners, masons all together Bail and swear abotit the weather; Boat men, wagoners, all in pain. Swear and curse the mud and rain, E'en the bard's imagination Is cool'd just by the inundation Of the interminable rain, Oh when shall it be clear again? Whoever saw since Noah's flood Such a quantity of mud?

From Blackwood's Magazine. FIRST AND LAST LOVE. "Heighol" exclaimed Agnes Fitzroy, as she let her harp escape slowly from her hands, and it balanced poising against her knee, while the last notes of a plaintive air of Mehul's were faintly dying off the strings. 'HeigboP and she threw herself languidly back in her chair. 'Mercy n u?!' ejaculated her pretty ivily cousin, Jane Douglas?, who was setting at the window, twirling and untwirling round her fair fingers the gold chain, from which hung an eye glass not worn for ornament but for use and pot, therefor, a quiz zing glass, but a necessary supplement to a pair of sparkling black eyes, whenever they wished to discern distinctly any object more than three feet distant from them. "Mercy on us that was a terrible long ilmi setitimcntal heigh o! I wonder

where it is g&tte to? Positively I felt it fan upon my cheek as it escaped out of the window, and I declare," she continued, looking through her glass, with a well feigned air of serious amazement, "I declare, I can sec it; yes, there it goes floating like gossamer, upon that soft

yellow moonbeam, ove the grove of chesnut trees, in the very direction of the parish church! .

"So you think, Jane," said she takingjplied the old gentleman, and then slily

her cousin's hand, "that my harp is like that cold chaste orb, dimmed ever and anon by passing clouds; but like it reappearing again as cold and as bright as ever? I wish I could think so! You deem it too as inconsistent changing even as she does? Ah me! There are times when I fancy it rather the dove, wandering forth from its ark to find a resting place, but destined to return with no olive branch?" "Fiddle-de-dee! fiddle-de-di! fid-dle-de-do ! Fiddle-de-dum !" exclaimed Jane, mimicking the sorrowful cadence of her cousin Woice At the same mo ment she caught her round the waist in spite of herself made her waltz three or four times up and down the room, to the tune of 4Di tanti palpili,' hummed by herself. When she had dragged her about until they were both out of breath, she pulled her down by her side on the aetlee, and said, "Now talk to me again about chaste cold orbs, doves, arks, and olive branches; and if you do, you shall have another dance, till I have juggled this fine sentimental frippery out of you." "You are a strange girl, Jane," said Agnes, "but I still hope to see the day when that heart of your3 will do penance. Recollect the fate of our poor friend Harriet Lindsey! She laughed at love till she was nineteen, and then died of it before she was one and twentyP "As I never shall, while there are fovers,inflammations and consumptions, to hand me out of this world into the next,'1 rejoined Jane. "And for my part tbo' poor dear Harriet had the credit of dy ing of a broken heart, because her lover died of a broken neck, by a fall from his landeau, I confess I always thought it a surfeit of ice creams and strawberries that really killed her. If it had been a. cold summer, and a bad fruit season, Harriet Lindsey might have looked a little pale or so, and for a few days, perhaps, found the wing of a chicken more than she could eat at dinner: but at the end of a week, take my word for it, the knife and fork would have conquered the pocket-handkerchief and smelling bottle. Lord help us poor girls, say I, if we are born only to fall in love, and must die when we fall out. I like not such grinning love, as Falstaff says of honor. It is all very well, I grant you, to have nice handsome fellow, sighing like furnace at your elbow, and grow ing as thin as a winter weasel in an emp ty barn for your sake; and if, after you have used him for two or three years, to plague half a dozen of your best friends, who envy your conquest. you tr.i you can really make a decent affair t'the heart of it, why then ' "Why then, interrupted Agnes, "I supposed Jane Douglass, spinster, would be seen some fine morning, in the pro verbially dangerous month of May, go ing in the same direction as my heigho! only, not like it creeping in at the keyhole of the church door.". "Oh Lordt Oh Lord!" exclaimed Jane, stopping herears with her fingers, "how can you be so malicious as to use that horrible Gothic word? Do you think I would ever consent to be mar ried bylbanns, and have myself proclaim ed three several Sundays, with a public notice, that if any person or persons know any just cause or impediment why Here! be quick! sprinkle a lit tle Eau de Cologne upon my handkerchief, or I shall go into hysterics! How could you be so barbarous?" Jane was beginning to fear that she never should fall in love; that is, she was afraid no "nice handsome fellow" would grow as thin as a winter weasel for her sake, and so give her a decent excuse for taking pity upon him. And a great pity she thought it. She knew herself to be naturally of a companionate disposition, she felt that amiable quality grow stronger and stronger wifh in her, every month; and she lorged so vehemently for an opportunity of dis playing it, that she was fast becenrngj a confirmed philanthropist. She had e-j ven begun to consider very seriously why love making shoBld always com - mence with the other sex, and had late ly stated the problem to an old bftchelor, who visited the family, and who bad already passed the grand climacteric. The question was popped so suddenly, mat at tirst the old gentleman wa3 posvd; but gradually recovering fron the snock, he replied very gravely, "I'll tell you Miss Jane, wooing is but an affectionate seeking. Now we seek not for that which we have, but for that which we have not. It is more proper, therefore, for a man in his love search, to sek for that which he has los4 , than for the woman to seek for that which she already has. The man you know has lost

his rib and he seeks after her that bers4t J

whereas it would be folly in her to seek it because she has it. And that Miss Jane, is a good and sufficient reason why women woo not, but are wooed." "I wonder who has got your rib," said Jane, "You have never been able to find out it seems. And some of you must

have had three or four of your ribs stolen: or else I suppose, when you njarry three or four wives, you seek after other folks ribs." "Never mind my rib," readded,"but take care that you yourself, are not like the mau who had liberty given him to go through a wood, and make choice of the best stick he could find, provided he chose one in his going on & not io his returning." "What did he do?" enquired Jaue, aud not at all aWUll Jl IF I J (ft b l no IU IVIUI t ItJ , cootinued my bacheUr, "he walked along, and with a curious eye observed where he might best suit himself; he saw many that were tall, and straight, and good looking, and well adapted for his purpose ;but no, these would not contort him ; so on he goes, still expecting better, Jill at last he come to the end of the woodiand then he found none but crooked and ill-looking ones 1? choose from: and no great choice of either." "J knew which end of the wood you grew at," said Jane, tossing her head. From that moment, however, she considered herself in the wood, and was terribly afraid lest she should not be able to suit herself among the tall, straight, and good looking tree?; but vowing at the same time that if she did get to tbe other end, she would never choose one of the crooked walking sticks. Yet as she had a very laudable dread of dying an old maid; and as the love she bargained for in her own mind, was a good homely, every day kind of love, a love that would stand wear and tear, and not get oui of fashion too soon, she did not absolutely despair of finding such a commodity though she was almost twenty. Time glided on, and month after month saw Ed ward Trehtarn a more frequent visitor at Fitzroy cottage, when one morning, about two years subsequently to the period at which this narrative commences, Sir Fiekerick came alone, and with an air of mysterious imIportance, requested the honor of a pri vate interview with Mrs. Fitzroy. They were all seated in the breakfast parlour when sir Frederick arrived, and Mrs. Fitzroy immediately retired with him to another apartment. Jane, who was embroidering a beautiful veils of Brussels lace, instead of continuing her work, could do nothing but look again and again at that portion of it which was already finished, ns if ehc was suddenly struck with the extreme richness and elegance of the pattern. Agnes was reading; but the hand which held tbe book dropped upon her knee, and while a faint flash came across her cheek, her eyes were fixed upon the countenance of Jane, who for once in her life, looked serious arul thoughtful. Was it not strange that neither spoke to the other, when it would seem to be so natural they should interchange thoughts upon the object of Sit Frederick's visit ? But they were silent. And the only interruption of their silence was now and then a tremulous sigh, which breathed through the lips of Agnes. In about half an hour, Mrs. Fitzroy returned to the room; for Sir Frederick had taken his departure. She approached Jane, took her hand affectionately, and as she tenderly leaned forward to kiss her forehead, exclaimed,"! have long expected such an interview with Sir Frederick Trehearn." Jane looked up. There was a radiant smile upon her features which caught the eye of Agnes. She read all its meaning, -md smiled too; but the light of ner smile, as it spread over bar pale cheeks, was like a wintr sun beam upon a bed of snow. AY fiat followed will be easily anticipated, I doubt not, by the reader, as it was by both Jane and Agnes. Mrs. Fitzroy havh.g sealed herself informed her daughter, for such she always styled Jub?9 that Sir Frederick had waited upon her to mnke certain customary inquiries, iu consequence of having learned from his son that he was desirous f being permitted henceforth to consider himself the acknowledged suitor ef Jane; a desire which ne had no wish to oppose, provided he was satisfied with respect to her family and fortune, taking it for granted that Edward had already ascer rained the inclinations of the young lady iber?elf. "And you may be sure my jutar child," added Mrs. Fitzroy, "I had nothing to say which was likely to inter pose an obstacle, except indeed, upon the score of your fortune, which, though hardly sufficient, perhaps, to match with the large expectations of the heir of the Trehearn estates, is enougfi coupled with the rich dowry of yourself, to make you the worthy sharer of a dukedom. Sir Frederick, I am happy to say, estimates the money value of what you possess, in the same liberal spirit. So now, my child, you have oly to consult your own heart weJl, before you finally take a step, in which according as the heart is well consulted or not, must ever be" ttie chances of its after felicijfy.v

tfonde'r,5 said Jane, onr evemn

in her usual rattling manner, after the day had been fixed for tbe celebration of her marriage, with Edward, "I wonder whether marriages in a family are like misfortunes, which they say never come alone? What do ?ou say Ancs?' "I wonder," replied Agnes pensively, and with a slightly tremulous voice, which she strove to conceal by a faint effort of gaiety in her manner,"! wonder if I shall be made to wahz again, if I compare my heart now, to the dove wandering forth from its ark to find a resting place, but returning with f.o olive branch V9 Naming people in Norzsoy. If a man's Christian name be Robert, for example, all his family in ttie first generation become Robertson; and if his eldest boy be baptised Jolw, he is of course John Robertsou; and the girU in like manne, pro haec vice, are all Robertsons. When the son grows up and has children, they will all be Johnsons, boys and girls as before; and so on changing the family name every generation. If there happen to be three sons in a house, named, wo shall say, Henrich, Frederick and William, there will branch otflhree separate patronymics from the three broth ers, and their children will be respect ively, Henrichsons, .FVedericksons, aud Williamsons. Desire of idleness and pone r. i wish I was a king,' said Dick Doughhead to his father, one hot summer-da), as he had finished hoeing his row of corn, and stood leaning upon his hoe, in the shade of a tree where the hands were quench ing their thirst from "the gallon bottle. 7 Daddy I wish I was a king.' Why so my son? 'Why, then, I would swing on the gate and lick lasses.' A radical cure. The following item was delivered, in a farrier's bill, to a gentleman in the neighborhood of Bristol, a few days since: "To curing' your honor's mare till she dkd 12s. 6d." A glutton stepping into an oyster cellar ih Philadelphia la?t winter, ate tili some gentlemen who were present expressed their astonishment at the evident capacity of his interior. After de vount.g what would have sufficed for a supper for at least six ordinary eaters, hp was about rising from the table, when one of the gentlemen approached him, and oilering him another dish, pressed him ironically to take some more, as he appeared to have lost his "stomach." "By Jupiter," said an Irishman in the room, "his stomach's not all gone, he76 only lost the bottom of it." Love among the Hoses, Elkanah Simonds, of Chenango county, New York, has been indicted for abduction, he having ran away with the two Mi?s Rowes's, daughters of Watson Rowes, Esq. Trey of Clubbs. The wife of Jedu than Clubb, ol Sandy Bay, Gloucester, was last Saturday night, delivered of thrre fine children, two girls and a boy, which with their mother, we are happy to learn are doing as well as could be expected. Consideration, A couple of young people living near Potomac, having some notion to try matrimonial life, the young man being diffident and slow in conversation ajsout lhe matter, the young lady grew impatient, and to bring the business to a close, demanded a more impli cit avowal en the part of her lover in the following terms; Frank, if you intend to marry rr I wish to know it, &o that I may make preparation.' A long pause ensued, at length Frank broke silence and exclaimed, 'No meat, no corr, and fishing time almost over. Good Lord Nelly, I can't.7 A black servant not far from St. Andrew's, being under examination in the Church Catechism by the ministerof the parish, was asked, 'What are you made of Jack ?t He said 'of mud massa.' On being told he should say 'of dust' he replied ; 'no massa, it no do, no stick togedThree Irishmen, having found four apples, consulted together how to divide them one at length wiser than the rest, undertook it, and shared them in the following equal manner; 'Here's tito for you ftry, and here's tzvo for me loo?

To the Point, Tbe parish clerk in a neighbouring town, as the custom is, having published in the banns of matrimony between two persons, was followed by the clergyman by the reading of the hymn beginning with the words ' Mistaken souls, wbo dream of heaven." Watts knew a thing or two. An Irishman who asked a tcacheV of music how much he charged for lessons; was informed fix dollars for the first month and three for the second. 'Then I will f,ome fbes second rrfonfli.' said Pat.
