P On p>y ,way ; lo the . north in, 1836,. m company
With Acyeral gentlemen of New Orleans, it hap
pened that the stage in whloh wo were passengers,
stopped for-«upp«rnt n small.village situated be
tweenlhe towns of. Columbas and Zanesville, on
(he‘Cumberland toad; in the State of Ohio.
»■ There wari'a great gathering of militia captains,
lieutenants, ensigns, sergeants and corporals, with
spfinklipg.of privates,a)i of.whom
had'been exhibiting'their patriotism during the
day, by marching up.and down the road, shoulder*
ingarms, carrying arins, presenting arms, charg
ing bayonets‘preparatory to intended hostile ope
rations against the neighboring State of Michigan,
the authorities of which,-and. those of the State of
Ohio, weraat open war—almost—about boundary.
For of amusement,, it had been
agreed thal ;, ihd stage driver .should .be informed
confidentially, that,T Vps' -Amos Post
Mailer General of -ihe J , United Stales, travelling in
disguise, andTpsqqming the .very common name
Smith, In order.tp discover.abuse' in ; the transpor
tation department. , With many mysterious hints,
and strjetehargep of: secrecy, John was made ac
quainted'w|t^‘the that ho was actually
driving tlie (mporiapV individual 'ibove named.—
The reins almost’fell from: his' hands na ho ex
claimed, . . . .
“What, Mr.. Kindle! .Amos Kindle!
he possible J”, • , . - • i.
“It is possible,?! answered the gentleman, w,ho
was imparting the information,'and who was en
joying an outside seat; “and it is his wish to.be
entirely private to avoid the attention that would
otherwise be'lavished upon him.**-, 1
The driver promised ’his most inviolable score
crecy, and proceeded to curry down his horses.-
...iWe had not been long in. our hotel, where pur
tapper, was being prepared, before it was plainly
perceptible that. some/Aing was going on; curious
glahbes were thrown Into the bar-room where we
were officers flitted about or col
lected into .groups—the landlord and his family
began Jasprucenp; in brief, it was evident onr se
prpt bad;conf)dentially been.imparted to half of
ihe.yiUage. , ..
The first demonstration that was made, consist
ed of an ihviiallbn to my friends and myself to
accept of a private parlor. ThUhcingal pncei
'agreed to, the landloard ventured to suggesMhaiir
U was not disagreeable to me, my fellow citizens
of the village would like to pay their respects to
. me, and take,mfi by the hand, ‘
t*No objections.in the world,*’said I, “lot the
Worthy citizens come in.”
Then followed a scene of the richest kind of fun;
bet Dickens has described a similar adventure,
and I pass on, '
Supper.was announced. 1 was placed at the
head, of the table; the richest viands and. preserved
fruits pre set in profusion before us. We feast
ed—Knd'during the ’ operation -numerous female
hands; or rhth'cr, heads of females, were continual
ly popping. In at the windows and open doors—
while thp piazza was filled with boys of nil sizes,
Who aipused thomsojvps by .firing, off, Chinese
praciters,’sopdlng up young rockets, nr.d shouting:
“Hurrah for Jackson ! andhis Cabinet!"
Supper over, we retired to the bar and demand
ed our expenses. . The .landlord smilingly
an9wprpd, he was too happy to entertain us
Without comnehsaiiph—ho. foil honored by my sit.
tlng and ray friends were equally
welddittb. ’ ‘‘After much urging I consented to re

GUILTY, BUT DRUNK!
DAN MARBLE’S STORY OF THE GEORGIA,JUDGE.
Nol a few of our readers, West and South, who had
tlio pleasure of an intimalo acquaintance with Dan
Marble, will.recognise tlio irresistible story ho used
to * tel)’of the stolen, spoons and-tho Georgia Judge.
Col. Bradbury, wo believe, onco dressed up. the. joke
arid set it agoing, and partially in that guise we give
It d place in the annals of the comedian *
** Many years ago, while the State of Goorgia'was
ret, in.; its. infancy, an eccentric creature, named
Jrovynt was one of.the Circuit Judges, , Ho was,a
man of considerable ability, of inflexible integrity,'
and much beloved and respected byalliholegal pro*
b.»l lla nna. flllll. ' Ilia 'qiMlil!**
would lead, him, despite his judgment, into frequent
excesses., In travelling the Circuit; It was his almost
invariable habit, tho.night before opening .the Court,
to get 'comfortably corned,* by moans of opplidnees
common upon such occasions. If he couldn’t succeed
while operating upon his own hook,-the gentlemen
of the-law would generally, turn in.and help him..
It was in the spring of tho year, taking his wife—
a'model-of a woman in her way—in'lho old fashion*
cd, but strong 'carry oil,’ he jo'urnoycd'.somo-forty
miles, and reached the village where the 'court* was
to be opened (ho next day. It was along in the
evening ofSunday that he arrived o!l tlio place, and
took; up his quarters with u relation of his * belter
half,’ by whom the presence of the official dignitary
was considered a- singular honor. After supper,
Judge Drown strolled over to tlio only tavern In the
town, where ho found many old friends, called to the
place, liko himself, on Important-professional bush
ness, and who were proper glad to meet him.
'Gentlemen,' said the Judge, *’lls quite a long limo
since we have enjoyed a glass together—let us take
a .horn all around. • Of course,- Slorrill (addressing
the, landlord,) you hayo boiler liquor than you had
the Iqst lime wo were horp—tho stuff you had then
whs nol fit to give a dog.*
'• Storritt, who had charge of (lie house, protended
that everything was right, and so they went to work*.
U is unnecessary to enlarge Upon a drinking,bout in
a country tavern—it will quite answer our purpose
to stale (hat somewhere in (ho region of midnight,
the Judge wended his-very devious way toward his
temporary home." About tho (imo ho was'leaving,
however, some!young barristers, fond of a practical
juke, and not much afraid of tho bench, transferred
all (he silver spoons of Slerrlll to tho Judge’s pocket.
Il'wss eight o’clock bn Monday hibrriing'lhat (he
Judge rose* Having indulged in .(ho process of ob*
lutlon and abslortipn;and partaken of a cheerful and
refreshing breakfast, ho went to his room to prepare
himself for tho'dulicsbftho day.
* Well, Fully,’ said ho to his wife, * I feel much
better, than I expected to feel after tho frolic of last
night.’, . , ~ ( . , . . , -
*Ah, Judge,’said she, reproachfully,‘you ara got',
ting '(bo old—you oughl to leave’ off that business
now.*’-' 1 1 * ■ ' • ‘
*Ah, Polly, what’s tho use of talking 7’, .
It was at this precise instont of time that tho Judge,
having put an his overcoat, was proceeding according
to his usual custom, to givo his wife a parting kiss,
that ho. happened, in thrusting' his hand into,his
pocket, (o lay hold of Stcrrill’e spoon?.. He pulled
them out. With ah expression of horror almost in*
doscnbiiblo, ho exclaimed—
. • ‘ M/ God! Folly!’
‘ What on earth’s tho matter, Judge 7*
* Just look at theso spoons !’ 1 ‘ 1
* Dear mo, whoro’d you. got them?’
* Get (hem 7 , Don’t you see (ho initials on (hem?*
—extending them towards hpr-T-'I stole them!’
* Siblo them, Judge7’
. 4 Yes, stole, them !*.
4 My dear husband, It can’t bo possible—from
whon»7‘
!—it can’t
•From Stcrrilt’,’ over there—lilf numb 1i on them.’
'Good Heavens! how could It-happen • , (
'I know very well. Polly--X was very drunk when j
I came home, wasn’t 17* i
1 Why, Judge, you know your old habit when you
get among those lawyers.* 1 , , , (
*, But I yorj drunk .. i
• Yos, you was.’ ( I
. 'Wes I remarkably so when! got home, Mrs. i
Drown7’’ ' i
4 Yes, Judge, drunk as a fool; and fqrly times as ;
stupid.*
' 4 l thought'so,* said tho Judge, droppinglrifo a
chair in extreme despondency— 4 l, know It-would
come to that at last. | havo always thought, that I
something would happen to me—that I should do '
something very wrong—kill somebody in a moment '
of passion, perhaps—but I never Imagined that 1 <
should be mean enough,to bo guilty of deliboroto '
larceny.', .. • ; . ,
. * But there may bo some mistake, Judge.* ,
• No' mistake, Polly. I khbw very well how It
came about.- That fellow, Storrltl, keeps the meanest
sort of liquojr» and always did—liquor moan enough
to make a man do any sort of a moan thing. 1 have
always said it was moan enough to make a man steal,
and now I have a practical illustration of the fact.’
Aqd tlio.old man burst Into tears.
1 Don*t bp a child,* said his wife, wiping away thp
tears, *go, like s man,over toSterrltt, tel) him It was
a Hulo bU of ol frollo—pass it .-off- ay a-juke—go and
opan coqrt, apd nobody wijl over think of it again.*.
, A-little of tlio, southing system, operated upon tho
Judge, as buoli'things'ußually do;'his extreme murtl*
(loation was flriiily subdued, and over to Stprrllt's ho
went,' wilh a lolerablcfncb. Of. eourse, ho lud but

' Tiicso were their wedding-dresses, and their se
vere simplicity and tho thorough independence.(hey
manifested made an impression upon my mind that
will never bo effaced, .
*Wo come to got married,* said'the young man to
the old lady, my mother, who' wtsipropbrly busy. a.

Out they came, ..
Tho bid man. was an (op of (ho carl, and every

thp woman, if ho really loved her, and was willing
to ÜborhoncsUy to promote her happiness, &c.
- The youngster gave simple and satisfactory ans

About the tlmo'of Mary Marioioi’s appearance at
the coarl of Franco, the French Capital wm visited,
for the second lime, by (ho person who rendered
herself so celebrated by abdicating alhrono sjio dis
graced, and devoting herself to; tho pursuit of pleas
ure, underihb pretence of philosophy. If it bo part'
of (ho doty of monarchs to sot dnoxamploofvirtuo l
to their subjects, Christina of-Swedon was unworthy
uf filling IUo throne of Guslavus Adolphus; and
wo might honor tho severity of her judgement of
herself, and her abdication proceeded from bdnsldoK
alion for her subjects, and not from Ihovolatilit/of
a depraved find. liobnlious tnjnd. She had from the
Commencement,of lho civil wars of France, taken
much inldfost therein, and had oodosyored to modi r
ate, unsolicited,'between the contending parties.—
Her modialibn-had boon rejected with brief thanks
by all; but after ncr obolcaUon,.as She pissed thro*
Brussels, she sought eagerly to see Condo who was
(ho great hero.of.her imaginatjoni.Al (ho soma
time elio refused lo grant him the same.ccrcmomol
honors which slid, yielded to.'tho tho A'rcliduko of
Adslria. Such a pitiful.and instance
of- her dinging to the shadow'of. roypllty, after she
had cast away the substoncoj'had (ho cScotwliloli
plight bo expected on' the mind of Condo;; and ho
refused to.visit her till.she agreed to make no dis
tinction bctwcccn him and 1 (lib Archduke. t She af
terwards appeared at (he court’ of France',' in ICSG;
and At the request'of Charles Guslavus, (a whom
sho'had resigned the Swedish throne, sho wps rc*
cclycd wUh high honors. A letter Duke of
Guise' is extant,dclaillhglhebpp'carancqoftho north
ei'n heroine at thb lime of her entering ; the -French
territories. Aftorsomo other remarks upon her person
ho says : 1 Sho waa.one shoulder high j but sho con
ceals that defect so well by the absurdity of her dress
her demeanor and her notions, (hat one might lay
wsgors about it. ' Her Pico it' largo, without being
out- of proportion ; all the features are so also, and
sltongly,marked; the nose aquiline,(ho mouth largo
enough without being disagreeable, her teeth passa ■
bto, her ayrn fine and full of fire; liqr complexion,
notwithstanding some marks of tho small pox, lirJl
liant and Tint chough ; llio form of.the faoe tolerable,
but accompanied by-a head dress very singular.. It
is a man’s wig. very thick.and turned up on the
forehead, very (hick at'the sides, and below thin and
pointed; the top of (ho head is a tissue of hair, and
the book has something of the head-dress of a
woman. . Sometimes sho wears a 'hut; her .bodice,
laced behind and slanting, is almost made like, our
pourpuints, tier shift coming out nil round above her
petticoat, which sho wbars but badly fasloncd*up,
and not too straight.' She Is always very much
powdered with, a world of pomatum, and never
wears gloves,. Sho is shod like n man, and bI;o lias
s man’s yoico and lone, &c.' . M believe,' bo adds,
alter some,mure/ remarks, 'that I have omitted no
part of lief portrait, except that sho sometimes wears
a award und o bliff jerkin, that her wig ia blank, and
that she had nothing upon her bosom but a scarf of
tho same color.*— Life and Tima of Zroufi QmJtorxr

to, pull after the . marine,.who hod quietly turned
himself upon his i|pck, and resting (ho child upon

confident In his own ability to keep himself afloat
until one oflho boats ’should) reach : him. A few
strokes-ihad. already boon given-by the cqllorin his

went, round again, and darted off in pursuit of the
marine, who .was by llils lime far down the river;
and truly there was necessity 1 fut increased exertion,
for a new and frighlful danger was now Impending.
: A brig was seen advancing-directly upon.tho
floating marine, who, from his position-ia Jho water,
was utterly ignorant of her approach. "Pull, for

in the bottom of tho cutter, and shouted tq the brig
to alter her course, but the few men on board that

no cause. for so much outcry, only gazed in stupid
wonderment a( . his frantic' gesticulations, was
fast becoming‘evident that wo would not reach the
merino In time, and all who were not pulling watch*
cd with throbbing bonds far tho expected collision.
Meanwhile tho marine floated oalmly along, ultqrW
unconscious ofhia danger, Unlil the end ofthq brig s

throw himself upon hißisjde/and grasped the child
in tho arm farthest .front; the vessel—the ricxl mo.
