'The course of true love,' it is said never runs smooth,' and Franky chanced to have a rival who was much richer than himself.

Ftvtn th. Notional Gozotto, e ratarriage. No vulgar maxim has proved more de trimental to female happiness than that a refernird rake makes the best of husbands; in almost eery instance, the direct contrary has harpeued. For in the first place, it the maxim were true, it is far from certain that matrimony will produce a reform. File vanity of an enamoured female may flatter her that her amiable qualities will tffect a reformation ; but experience tells us that the reformation must go deeper than that which is only the momentary effect of an impetuous passion ; it must extend to the moral principle ; to the whole mode ef thinking. A rake is but another term for a sensualist, which in itself implies the qual ity selfish ; he has been accustomed to sacrifice the best interest of others to hie personal gratification ; and there are more ways than one in trifling with the happiness of a fellow creature. Further the libertine has acquired a despicable opiniO of the sex; and we know that matrimonial tyr anny usually originates from a contemptible opinion of the female sex..—Lastly, in marrying a rake there are many chances to one that a woman marries a drunkard or a gamester ; and the are, perhaps the only vices that are never to be reformed. We might add, that without some notion of re ligion, morality has but an uncertaie basis— and what rake would be thought to enter tain any respect for religion IN KITE OF YOUR TENTR —Judge Hrack• enridge, who has lately made s o me stir in the political world; and who is a comical son of a comical father, resided some years in Fltfrida, it is said, after ho was engaged to be married to a lady in ono of the mid dle states.

This circum stance gave her some uneasiness; and when she appeared in the presence of her lover, after his return from Florida, she [totted him if he thought her much altered : He re plied that he saw no alteration, except in her fore teeth, but said he, I do not regard that, fll marry you in spite of your teeth.

This occueioced universal surprise whereever he wail known ; and one of his neighbors ventured to ask him the reasons which governed his choice. lie replied, that having had but little trouble in the world, he was fearful of becoming too much attached to things of time and sense, and he thought by expe riencing some afflictions, he should become more weaned from the world. and, that he married such a woman as be thought would accomplish this object.
