a Marriage xee.

once heard a little incident, said to have occured to a venerable clergyman of Philadelphia city, now no more, but who if named would be instantly recognized aa familiar to many and as it appeared somewhat interesting to me I will narrate it.

It occurred some thirty years since, at which time our reverened friend was called upon to officiate at the nuptials of the only child and daughter of the most wealthy retired merchant of ibis place, then residing a few miles in the country.

The time had been appointed for tho wedding proved to be a chilly, rainy day towards the latter end of the month of September the rain having commenced falling on the night previous, continued throughout the day. The roads were in a miserable condition, the rain falling upon them still heavy with the dust, rendered them almost impassible in mud. This anything but pleasant prospect for the doctor, but weddings you know, mubt not be delayed, nor do clergymen, generally, in the least desire it—they entertain a peculiarity for them.— They find pleasure in uniting 'two fond hearts,' and they profit in it. So, barring the weather, the Doctor had no reason to complain, and so rain or shine he was bound to go. Accordingly a horse and carriage were procured, and the Doctor, fully equipped for the journey, was soon on his way to the scene of his bridal festivity.

At the counlry mansion all was in readiness against his coming, and when he reached there some time after nightfall, he fouud the bride and her lover already awaiting him. It was not necessary to lose any time, and the Doctor was not long in entering upon his appropriate offices. The necessary preliniianries being spedily arranged, within spacious hall, richly ornamented, and in the pretence of a gay and numerous company, the Doctor pronounced the nupiial ceremony.

The scene was unusually aff*ecting, and to the Doctor himself. The bride, as we have said, was an only child, and aside from her education and accomplishments, upon which every care and nlleniioii had been bestowed, she possessed cjunlilies of the heart which endeared her to all.— Slic was amiable and affectionate and these traits, combined with sincere and early piety, had won the reverend old gentleman's highest friendship and esteem.

To one thus interested in the happiness of a bride, the joy attendant upon the celebration of nuptials is never unmingled with tender emotions and tears of parental sympathy tickled down the pious countenance of the old gentleman, as at the conclusion of the ceremony he invoked the smiles ofheaven for the future happines of the wedded.— Nor was he alnne in these feelings: a solemn stillness for a while prevaded ihe whole company yet like a trancient cloud in the morning, it was soon dispelled, leaving all bright and cheerful as before.

Shortly after the ceremony was over, the Doctor prepared himself without delay, for home „so taking an affectionate leave of the brido and her partner, he ordtred forth his vehicle. Not a word had yet been hinted concerning a marriage fee as lor himself, he was too much absorbed in reflection to have giving a thought upon the matter.— The 'foe,' however, such as it was, had not been forgotten but Mr. E. tho bride's father, after accompanying and assisting him into the chaise, placed in his hand a little package, containig as he said, a 'present' for himself, and a 'little notion' for his wife. The Doctor, presuming of course, that it was his fee, nnd no doubt a rich one, which was thus modestly tendered, accompanied with some small token for his wife, thanked Mr. E. accordingly, nnd the courtesies of the night being exchanged. the Doctor los no time in regaining his home. imagine now, the gentleman *fter two hoars hard ride through mud and rain, well drenched and bespattered, sitting by his fireside, opening, with the eager assistance of his wife, the, above described package. Imagine, ahso, if possible the supise and disappointment of both as contrary to the loweat expectations of either, in lieu of a S50 note and a rich lace cap, the package was delivered of a plain neck cloth and an unpretending pair of gloves. .y'vV.7:.'.

Now, fortunately for our friend, the Doctor, of all things he knew best how to brook disappointment. It is charactericist of the profession in general hence his shtre of the disappointment was soon smC'hered, and he contented himself with the reflection th*? hia services had been well repaid already. in hving rendered to one whom be felt most happy in serving.

Not so with hi« wife.

X»ike

mO«l of sei, *y©i

and all of her kind, disapointments w?*® oot the least agreeable to her besides on this occasion, as she was personally interested, hera was by no means smell. The marriage of Miss E. had long been in contemplation, and as long has the Doctor's wife been anticipating a rich fee for her husband, which according to good natured agreement, existing between them in relation to the above marriage, they were to divide equally and no marvel is it that she had magnified her share into 'something very handsome.' V*

For some time she was speechless with reisttoQ and disappointment. She knew not how to vent her feeletugs &he felt hurt as well as vexed and disappointed. •Certainly I am greatly at loss to account for this,* at length she exclaimed, recovering herself •surely 1 never would have suspected this from Mr. E.* •Tut! tut! my dear,* returned tho Doctor, |I'm sure it's not worth the while grieving about it.' •Indeed, 1 think it is,' rejoined his wife somewhat vexed, and tossing at the same time the gloves from her, *Pm sure your ride through the mud and rain was itself well worth ten tim*s as much.* I. •Well, well,* said the Doctor, "l am very satisfied, and see 00 reason why you should be otherwise.'

So saying, he vai fg the act of spreading out the asok doth to stMouao its dunesstooa, when lo! a hundred dollar mu dropped upon |h# IJoor-

The Pair of Blippexk'

There once lived in Bagdad a merchant named Abu Casern, who was quite notorious for his covetousaess. Notwithstanding his great wealth, his clothes were all in rngs and tatters. His turban was composed of a large cloth, whose colors were no longer distinguishable but above all other articles of his dress, his slippers attracted everybody's attention. The soles of them were armed with huge nails the uper leather was composed of as many pieces as a beggar's cloak for, during the ten years they had been slippers, the cleverest cobblers of Bagdad had used all their skills in fastening them together. Of necessity, therefore they had become so weighty, that when people wanted to describe anything^ very heavy they compared to Casern's slippers.

It is the custom of Oriental merchants, when they have made a successful bargain, to give a feast of rejoicing but this our niggard would not do. He thought it more profitable to bestow a little extra indulgence upon himself, and therefore he went to the bath—a luxury to which he had not for a long time treated himself. Whilst he was taking off his clothes one of his friends (*o at least he called him but such niggards seldom have a friend,) said to him, that it was quite time lor him to leave off* his slippers which made him quite a bye-word in the city, and buy a new pair. "I have been thinlyng of it for some time,1' answered Casern: "but when 1 look well at them, they are not so very bad, but they may do a little service." Speaking thus he undressed and went into the bath. v- wT

Whist he was there, the Cadi of Bagdad entered and because Casern was ready before the judge he went out first. He dressed: but sought in vain for his slippers. Another pair stood where his own ought to have been and our careful man soon persuaded himself that the friend who had given him such good advice while he was undressing, had made him a present of these new ones. He put them on with much satisfaction, and left .he baths with the intention of thanking his friend for them.

But unhappily, the slippers belonged to the Cadi nnd when- he had finished bathing, his slaves sought in vain for ihern they could only find in their stead a miserable pair, which were immediately recognized as Casern's. The porter ran after hitn, and brought hiin back to the Cadi, as detectin a theft. The Judge, provoked at the unblushing avarice of the old miser, Immediately sent him to prison and in order to avoid the open shame due to a thief, he had to pay richly the law condemned him to give the worth of a hundred pair slippers if he would escape with a whole skin.

As soon as he was safe out of gaol, he revenged himself upon the cause of his troublo. In his rage he threw the slippers in the Tigris, which flowed beneath his window so that he might never set eyes on them again but it was to be otherwise.— A few days afterwards, seme fishermen, on drawing up their net found it unusually heavy, they thought they had gained a treasure: but alas! nothing was there but Casern's slippers, the nails of which had torn the net so much that it would take whole days to mend it.

Full of indignation against Casern and his clippers, they threw them in at his window, which was just then open, and unluckily the flasks of beautiful rosewater he had bought was neatly ranged beneath his window his heavy slippers fell upon the bottles, which were broken, and the contents spilling the contents spilled on the floor.

Casern's horror, when he enteied his appartmer.t may better imagined than decribed. "Detestable slippers!', he exclaimed, tearing his beard you shall not do me any further mischief." He took a spade and ran with them into the garden, where he hastily dug a hole to bury his slippers when unhappily, one of his neighbors, who had long meditated some mischief against him, happened lo look through his window, and saw him hard at work, digging this hole. Without delay he ran to the Governor of the oily and told him as a secret that Casern hod found a treasure in his garden This was quite enough to arouse theGovernor's cupidity and it was all in vain that our miser declared he had not found anything, but had only buried his old slippers. In vain he dug their, up again, and brought them forth in the presenoe of the Judge the Governor had made up his mind to have money, and Casern was obliged to purchase his release with a large sum! in utter despair, he left the Governor, carrying his expensive slippers in his hand, while in his heart he wished them far away "Why," said he, should 1 carry them in my hand to my disgrace?" He therw them into an acquednci, not far from the Governor's palace. "Now," said he I shall hear no more of you: you have cost he money ettough —away with you from my sight But alas! the slippers stuck fast in the mud of the ecqoeduct.—

was enough in a few hours the stream was1 stopped, the wafer overflowed: the watermen ran together, for the Governor's cellar was inundated, and for all this trouble and fttsfbrtun^ Casern's slippers were answerable! The watc.^naen, soon discovered the unlucky cause of the mischief wtd quickly made it known. The slippers was taken into custody, and as this appeared to be a vicious re* venge upon the Governor, he was sentenced to

attone for it by paying a larger fine than either of the foregoing ones. But the Governor gave the slippers carefully back to him. ••What shall 1 do with you, ye cursed slippers? said poor Casem. I have given you over to the elements, and they have returned you to cause me each time a greater loss, there remains but one— now will bum you."

But," continued he shaking them, "you are so soaked with mud and water, that I must first lay you out to dry in the sun: but I will take good care you never cocoe into my bouse again. With llreee words he went up to the flat roof of the bouse, and layed thecn under the vertical rays of the sun. Yet had not misfortune tried all he* powers agaiwrt him? indeed. Iter latest stroke was to he the hardest ol aft. A neighbor's pet monkey saw tbe slippers, tumped from his master's roof to Caseat's reilPMi a poo drew eod dragged ibtem afcooc While be piayed with them, the enfoek slippes* fell down and alighted on the head of a wosnaa who VtS m4t»g

TERRE-HAUTE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1852.

As this merchant was one day walking iBrotigh the great bazaar of the city, a consirterablei stock of glass was offered to him at a great bargain, and he very gladly agreed to purchase it. Some days afterwards he heard that an unfortunate dealer iu precious balms, was reduced to sell only rose water as a last resource. He turned this poor man's misery to account, bought all his rose water for half its value, and was consequently in the best of humors.

band brought his grievances before the judge, and Casern had to atone for this more heavily than for aught before, for his innocent slippers had nearly killed one of bis fellow creatures. "Just Judge," said Casern with an earnestness which made even the Cadi smile. "1 will endure and pay all and everything to which you have condemned, me, only I ask your protection against those implacable enemies, which have been the agents of all my trouble and distress to this hour—I mean these miserable slippers. They have brought roe to poverty, disgrace aye even ihe peril of my life and who knows what may follow? Be just, O, noble Cadi, and make a determination that all ratsfortunes which can be clearly ascribed to the evil spirit which haunts these slippers, may be visited upon them, aud not upon me.

The Judge could not deny Casern's request: he kept those disturbers of the public and private peace tn his own possesion, thinking he could give no better lesson to the miser than this which he had now learned at so much expense, namely, that it is better to buy a new pair of slippers when the old ones are worn out!

Yes—Get Married.

Dow, Jr., is a curious fellow, and says many good things in. his own curious style. Hear this discourse to a young man on the subject of getting married. He really makes out that a wife is some use to a man. He says "Young men if you have arrived at the proper point in life for it, let every other consideration give wav to that of getting married—don't think of anything else. Keep poking Bbout in the rubbish of the world till you have stirred up a gem worth possessing, in the shape of a wife. Never think of delaying the matter, for you know delays are dangerous.

good wife is the most constant, faith-

^il companion you can possibly have by your side, while performing the duty of life. She is of more service to you than your first image. She can smooth your linen and your cares mend your trowsers, and perchance your manners sweeten your sour moments as well as your tea and coffee for you ruffle, perhaps, your shirt bosom, but not your temper and instead of sowing seeds of sorrow in your path, she will sow buttons on your shirt, and happiness instead of harrow teeth in your bosom. Yes if you are too confounded lazy or too proud to do such work yourself, she will chop wood and dig potatoes for dinner for her love for her husband is such that she will do anything to please him but receive her company in her every day clothese/V.5-'

When a woman loves she loves with a doubledistilled devotedness, and as immutable as a rock. She wont change it unless it is in a fit of jealousy and then it lingers, as if loth to part, like the evening twilight at the windows of the West. Get married by all means. All the excuses you fish up— against doing the thing ain't worth a spoonful of pigeon's milk.

Mark

this—oh! do now. If bless

ed with health and employement, you are not able to auppor a wife depend upon it, you are not able to support yourself. Therefore, so much more need of ar.exation. for in union as well as any onion there is slrength. Got married. Concentrate your affections upon one objeot, and not distribute them crumb by crumb among the Susans, Marias. Sabinas, Loryanas, Ermineas, Ladras, Olives, Elizas, Sarahs, Marys, Lydies, Emelyes, Marthas, Julias, and Matildas, allowing scarce enough to nibble at. Yes—get married, and have something to checr you through the journey of life. That's sound talk!

must ever

be borne in mind, that man's love, even in its happiest exercise, is not like woman's for while she employs herself through every hour in fondly weaving one beloved image into all her thoughts, he gives lo her comparatively few of his and these, perhaps, neither the loftiest nor the best. It is a wise beginning, then, for every married woman to make up her mind to be forgotten through the greater part of every day to make up her mind to many rivals, too, in her husband's attentions, though not in his love and among these I would mention one, whose claims it is folly to dispute, since no remonstrances or representations on her part wilt ever be able to render less attractive the phanns of this competitor—I mean the newspaper, of whose absorbing interest some wives are weal enough to evince a sort Of childish jealousy, when they ought rather to congratulate themselves that their most formidable rival is one of paper.—-Mr*.

writers of tales and

ROSMBCC of Real Life~Bl«pew»t KitiSaHliasrf. A Scotch paper narrates an amusing accoWtlt" of the elopement effected reoemly from Southend, Kintyre, by a widower upwards of fifty veers cid, and a widow lets yeafs his senior. The widow*s sons being violently opposed to the aged l/ihwk) calling himself their step father, had denied bin (he happiness of paying his daily viafiks to the venerable dame.—Detertiiuined not to be foited, the widower nightly tapped at the window of his charmer's bedchamber, and. bein? readily edmittetf. they passed the time till morning in discussing ?beir future prospects, and arranging their plans fee an elopement, which they endeavored to carry mt» execution on the night of the 8th instant.—They had proceeded as far as Campbeltown, when they were overtaken by the widow's sons, who bore he* heck in triumph to Southend, where they locked hsr in her room and kept a strict watch over her. On the night of the 18th, however, another elopeasent was effected. This time they proceeded to Ctwskey Bay, with a view of crossing the Channel for Ireland, ifts v*.-f jm

Scarcely had their little bark left the shore when it was followed by another boot containing the undutiful sons. A capture seemed inevitable, when, with the energy despair, ibe bold lover hurled a stone at the pursuers craft which caused suchdanaage to her limber as to cou.pel an instant reture to the shore. Another w»s obtained, and the pursuit renewed.-—Ten miles from kind ihey again came up with the fugitives, and a close battle ensued, blows being dealt on both sides with the oars. Again victory crowned the 'old Lochinvar,' who succeeded in wresting an oar from his foes, and amid three hearty cheera his boat shot ahead leaving them far midst the solitary main, with only a single oar to guide iheir fragile bark.'—As it was useless to attempt any further pursuit in their disabled condition, Ihe vanquished wights were compelled toskull the boat with a single oar bnck towanls Kin tyre, a distance of ten weary miles while the victor wirh soul elate, sung in triumph, *Oh steer my bark to Erin's Ule.' The amorous couple have not since been heard of, but it is to be hoped that after all their difficulties and 'hairbreadth escapes by flood and field,' they have attained the object of their wishes, despite of their reluctant and naughty chil* dren, and that they are now spending a hnppy honeymoon in some corner of tho Emerald Isle, undisturbed by fears of molestation or surprise.

A Good Story.

There lived lately in one of the mountainous counties, in Western Virginia many Dutchmen, and among them, one named Henry Snyder and there were likewise two brothers, called George and Jake Fulwiler—they were all rich, and each owned a mill. Henry Snyder was subject to fits of de« rangement but they were not of such a nature as to render him disagreeable to any one. He merely conceived himself to be the Supreme ruler of the Universe and while under the infatuation, had himself a throne built, on which he tat to try the cause of all who offended him: and passed them off to heaven or hell, as his humor prompted—he personating both Judge and culprit.

It happened one day that some difficulty occurred between Henry Snyder and the Fulwilers, on account of iheir mills .when to be avenged, Henry Snyder took along with him a book in which he recorded his judgments, and mounted his throne to try iheir causes, He was heard lo pass the following judgments.

Having prepared himself, (acting as Judge artd yet responding for the accused,} he called George Fulwiler. 'George Fulwiler, stand up. What hash you been doin in dis lower world?' •Ah Lort I does not know.* 'WellShorge Fulwiler has'nt you got a mill?'
