TIIK WHITE MTASEI,. In the reign of King George III. there lived a hoy in London, who was born in the neighborhood of Si. Paul's Cathedral, by the name of Curtis?. He was left an orphan child at the age of ten years, destitute not a penny in the world. Ihe question was, with him. rid. although so young, what shall I do? le resolved that he would run errands j for any one who would employ him; and 1 early one morning he sallied forth from j the hovel where he had slept the nisiht ; nciore, in quest 01 employment, lie waiKeci out a lew mmuies in tne sir uui, hear Somerset House, when a gentle man met him, who accosted him thus, "My lad would you oblige me bv carrying this note to Chancery Lane ?" at the same lime handing the note, with an English shilline, saying, I will give you this shilling for so doing. Curtiss instantly took the tnonev, and punctually delivered the note to whom directed. Oa his return he met a poor woman near Temple liar, who apparently was in great distress, and although but a boy she. solicited charily from him. Curtis? asked the suppliant what it was she had under her arm; to which she teplicd by showing him a little u-futc Artcm; he immediately ollered her all the money he had for it, being the shilling he had just earned, with w hich she was highly pleased. Curtiss then setoff with his kitten for Choring Cross; on his way thither a gentleman met him icar Enter Change, not far from the Adclphi, who, espying the kitten, asked the lad what it was he had under his ragged blanket? Curtiss told him il was a kitten. The gentleman requested to look at it, which he did and ex. mined it most critically, then said, mv lad, you are yen- much mistaken it is 10 kitten, but a rr.i7e tccasel; will you ell it? Ves sir, says Curtiss; what will rou give for it ? Enc Guineas, said the rentlcman ; the kitten, then sir, is yours; Curtiss received the money, delivered l ie ,l!c,V0 e stranger, then j va keI ell with Ins enme:i in lU inrl.-. , . ,,,, . r , , ?

In the recess of Parliament, Mr. Curtiss visited the watering place at Mirgatf, where by more accident he fell in company with a most beautiful and accomplished young lady, about twenty years of age by name" Wi?m, w ho possessed cvrry'prar-c and virtue that man could wM or do-ire, to make her happy .

The father not only gave his consent to their union but also settled upon his daughter fn-niy lh,t,nul pound sterling and appointed Sir Curtiss licr trustee. On the day of her mirliage he put a r;No.W nao- on the linger of his beloved daughter, of the value of f.r.i thousand puhitiyy as a tvken or his love nnd atll-ohon, w hich ring had some time previously been presented to him by the great C.ifWiW, Kmpress of umsm.i. io ir. um lie presented a 15 ink Note or the It ink or Kngland T live thousand pound?, observing at lh same limr, "Mr. Curtiss, I vcrilv

The facts are these when Deodama communicated to me, that an attachmont subsisted between you and her, I immediately atmlied to "her rrace tin Dutchess of Devonshire, vour friend nnd patroness, to make some inquiry of ,er grace ,to jour history and characun The Dutchess cave me. with other milters perfectly satisfactory, the most irrefragable proof of your heing the identical boy of whom I purcha sod the White Weasel, near Lxeter change in the strand; out of which I made my fortune, as follows: t disnsed of mv hile easel to the ureal liashaw of Kgvpt in exchange for ten hoes head of opium, which I sold in the old city ol mzmtium. which was built bv a colony of Athenians (now vulgarly called Constantinople.) to a great tea merchant of Canton, in the Last Indies, and received of him teas and spices ol that country in payment for the opium my teas and snic.es I slurped, and brought them safe to London.

What says the lasses of the west to the feat of Miss Sarah Worden. of Shelby, Or leans county, IN ew York? If Franklin was alive, he would rejoice that his favorite race of spinsters is so bravely represented in this age of refined improvement, when girls abroad are ronvcrtcd into factory machinery, and girls at home arc used up lo stiilF corsets and embellish pianos. Parmer's Reporter, Hcvixu Wives. Among theanciei.t Assyrians, it was.it is said, a usual custom to assemble together every year, the girls who were marriageable; when the public crier put them up for sale, one after ihe other. The most amiable and attractive were first set up at public, vendue and were bought oil by the rich at a high price; and the money tliataccured from the sales divided among th.i girls whose persons were disagreeable; and men in destitute circumstances, or possessing but small property, look the last mentioned class of girls, together with their portions. Such is ihe prevailing avarice of the present day, that an attempt to promote matrimony hy reviving this old Assyrian custom would prove ineffectual; for il is presumed that the rirh would sooner have Ihe ugly girls, with fortunesthan to give money for such as are a, miahle. Sorf.u Ri-.flf.ction. A reverend old gentleman used frequently and strongly to rcccommcnd prudence in conversation.
