- The Loving Couple.
There cannot be a better illustrati.m of the veise
saw end ancient instance, that there may bo too
.buch` of a good thing, than is presented by a loving
couple. , Undoubtedly it is meet and proper that
two personsi'oined together in holy matrimony should
be loving, and unquestionably it is pleasant to know
and see that they are so; but there is a time for all
things, and the couple who alWays happen to be in
a loving state before company, are well nigh intoler
able.
And in taking up this position we would have it
distinctly uni'enstood that we do not seek ;Amy. the
sympathy of bachelors, in whose oljectiun io loving
couples, we recognise interested motives and persni
ul considerations. We grant that to that unfortu
nate class of society there may be semeilring ve r y
irritating, tantalising, and provoking, in being com
pelled to witness those gentle endearments and
chaste interchanges which to loving couples are quite
the - ordinary business of life. But while we recog
nise the natural character of the prejudice to which
these unhappy men are sulject, we can neither re
ceive their biassed evidence, nor address ourselves to
their inflamed and angered minds. Dispassionate
experience is our only guide; and in these 111 l iral
essays we seek -no less to reform by menial offenders
than to - had out a timely warning to all rising cou
ples, and cern to those who have not yet set forth
upon their Pilgrimage towards the matrimonial altar.

Let all couples, present or to come, therefore profit
by the example of Mr. and Mrs. Leaver, themselves
a loving couple in the first degree.
Mr. and Mrs. Leaver are pronounced by Mrs.
Smiling, a widow lady, who bad lost her husband
when she was young, and lost herself the same time
—=for by her own account she has never since grown
five years older—to be a perfect model of wedded fe-
You would suppose," says the romantic lady,
that they were lovers only just now engaged. Ne

affectionate, so attached to each other, so enamored,
that positively nothing can be more chat ming ? "

.• Do, my dove," says Mr. Leaver.
I couldn't possibly, my love, " replies Ws. Lea

Naughty, darling " cries Mr. Leaver.
°Yes, vet) naughty and very cruel," returns ►Mrs.
Leaver, s. for you know I have a sore throat, and
that to sing would give mo great pain. You're a
monster, I hate you. Go away ! "
Mrs. Leaver has said • go away' Lecause ' Mr.
Leaver Las tapped her under the chin. Mr. Leaver,
not doing rt 3 he is bid, but on the contrary sitting
down beside her, Mrs. Leaver slaps Mr. Leaver; and
it being now time for all persons present to look the
other way, and bear a still small sound as of kissing,
at which Mrs. Starling is thoroughly enraptured,
and whispering her neighbors that dal! married cou
ples were like that, what a heaven thin eatth would
be !

The loving couple are at home when this occurs,
and may be only three or four friends are present,
but unaccustomed to reserve upon this interesting
point, they „tire pretty much the same abroad, In
deed, upon some occasions, such as a pic-nic or wa
ter-party, their lovingness is even more developed,
as we had an opportunity last summer of observing
in person.'

Them was a groat water-party made up to go to
Twickenham and dine, and afterwards dance in en
empty villii by the river side, hired expressly for the
purpose. Mr. and Mrs. Leaver were of the compa
ny; and it was our fortune to have a / Seat in the
same boat, which was an eight-oared galley, man
ned by amateurs, with a blue striped awning of the
same pattern as their Guernsey shirts, and a dingy
red flag of the same shade at the whiskers of the
stroke oar. A coxswain being appointed, and all
matters adjusted, the eight gentlemen threw them
selvei into strong paroxysms and pulled up with the
tide, stimulated with the compassionate remarks of
the lathes, 94420- one and all exclaimed, that it seem.
eti on immense exertion—as indeed it did. Ai first
we raced the other boat, which came alongside in
gallant style ; bat this being found an unpleasant
amusement, as giving rise to a great quantity of
splashing, and rendering the cold pies and other vi
ands very moist, it was unanimously voted down,
and we were suffered to shoot ahead, while the se
cond boat followed ingloriously in our wake.
It was at this limo that we first recognised Mr.
Leardr. There were two firemen-waterniertin the
boat, lying by until somebody was exhausted;, and
one'of them who had taken upon himself the direc
tion of affairs, was heard to cry in a gruff voice,
Pull away, number two—give it her, number two,
sir, think you're winning a boat." The greater
part of the company had no doubt begun to wonder
which of the striped Guerneys it might be that stood
in need of such encouragement; when a stifidd shriek
from Mrs. Lesvei confirmed the doubtful and infor
med the ignorant ; and Mr. Leaver, still further', dis
guised in a straw het and no neck-cloth, was ohser
tied to be in a Tearful perspiration, and failing

at this instant by the same gentleman (in ihe

again several times, and cried piteously,-1 Is he
dead ! Tell me the worst. Is be dead
Now a moment's reflection night have convinced
the.loving wife, that unless her husband were en
dowed with some most surprising powers of muscu
lar action, he never could be dead while he kicked
so hard; but still Mrs. Leaver cried, " Is he dead!
is he dead !" and still !very body else cried—.. No,
no, no," until such time as Mr. Leaver was repla
ced In a sitting posture, and his oar (which bad
been going through ell kinds of wrong beak(' per
formances on its own account) was once more put
in his hand, by the exertions of the two firemen
watermen, Mrs. Leaver then exclaimed, " Augus
tus, my child, came to me;" and Mr. Leaier said,
Augusta, my love, compose yourself, I am not in
jured." But Mrs. Leaver cried again more piteous
ly than before, " Augustus, my child, come to me ;"
and now the company generally, who seemed to he
apprehensive that if Mr. Leaver remained where he
was, he might contribute more than his proper share
to" ards the drowning of the party, disinterestedly
took part with Mrs. Leaver, and said he really ought
to go, and that he was not strong enough for such
violent exercise, and ought never to have underta
ken it. Reluctantly Mr. Leaver went, and laid
himself down at .Mrs. Leaver's feet, mid Mrs. Lea
ver, stooping over him said, .. Oh, Augustus, how
could you terrify me so " and Mr. Leaver said,
‘. Augusta, my sweet, I never meant to terrify you;"
and Mrs. Leaver said 1 . You are faint, my dear;
and Mr. Leaver said, " I am rather so, my love ;
and they were very Loving indeed under Mrs. Lea
vet's veil, until at length Mr. Leaver came forth
again, and pleasantly asked if he had n t beard
something said about bottled stout and sandwich. s.
Mrs. Starling, who was one of the party, was
perfectly delighted with this 'scene, and frequently
murmured halt-aside, •• What a loving couple you
are !" or, 66How delightful it is to see man and wife
so happy together:" To•us she war quite poetical,
( for we are kind of cousins) observing that hearts
beating in unison like that, made life a paradise 'of
sweets; and that when kindred creatures were
drawn together by Sympathies so fine and delicate,
what more than mortal happiness did not our souls
paVake ! To all this we answered, •• Certainly,"
oro , Very true," or merely sighed, as the case
might be, At every new act of the loving coraple,
the widow's admiration broke out afresh rand %%hen
Mrs. Leaver tried to keep his hat on, lest the sun
would strike to his head, and give him? brain fever,
Mrs. Starling actually shed tears, and said it re
minded her of Mare and Eve !
The loving couple weir) thus loving all the way
to Twickenham, "but when we arrived there, (by
which time the amateur crew looked very thirsty
and vicious) they were more playful than ever, for
Mrs. Leaver threw "stones at Mr. Leer on the
grass, in a most innocent and enchantMg manner.
At dinner, too; Mr. Leaver would steal ;Mrs. Leav
er's tongue, and Mrs. Leaver would retaliate upon
Mr. Leaver's fowl; and when Mrr. Leaver was go
ing to take some lobster sand, Mr. Leaver wouldn't
let her have any, saying that it made her ill, and she
was always sorry for it afterwards, which afforded
Mrs. Leaver un opportunity of pretending to be
cross, and showing many other prettineeses. But
this was merely the smiling surface of their loves,
not the mighty depths of the stteam, down to which
the company, to say the truth, dived rather unex
pectedly, from the following accident. .It chanced
that Mr. Leaver took upon himself to propose the
hetqfh of the bachelors who had first originated the no
tion of that entertainment, in doing which,he affected
to that he was no longer of theirbody himself,
nod pretended to grievowly lament his fallen state.
This Mrs. Leaver's feeling could not brook, even
in jest, and consequer tly exclaimed aloud, He
loves me not!' she fell in a very pitiable state into
the aims of Mrs. Starling, and directly becoming
insensible, was conveyed by that lady and her hus
band into another room. Presently Mr. Leaver
came running back to know if there was n medical
gentleman in the company, and as there was ( in
which company is there not I) both Mr. Leaver and
the medical gentleman hurried away together.
The medical gentleman was the first nho return \
ed, and among his intimate friends he was observed'
to laugh and wink, and look as unmedical as might
be; but when Mr. Leaver came back he was very
solemn, and in answer to all inquiries, shook his
head, and remarked, thut Augusta was far too sensi
tive to be trifled with,—an opinion which the widow
subsequently confirmed. Finding that she was in
no imminent peril, however, the rest of the party
betook themselves to dancing on the green, and mer
ry and happy they were, and a vast quantity of flir
tation there was; the last circumstances being no
doubt attributable, partly to the fineness of the wea
ther, and partly to the locality, which itewell known
to be favorable to all harmless recreations.
In the bustle of the scene, Mr. and Mrs. Leaver
stole down to the boat, and disposed themselves
under the awning, Mrs. Leaver reclining her
head upon Mr. Leaver's shoulder, and Mr. Leaver
grasping her hand great fervor and looking in
her face from time to time with a melancholy and
sympathetic aspect. The widow sat apart, teign
ing to be occupied with a book, but stealthily ob
serving them from behind her fan; and the firemen
watermen, smoking their pipes on the bank hard
by, nudged each other, and grinned in the enjoy.
ment of the joke. Very few of the party missed the
loving couple; and the few who did heartily con
gratulated each other on their disappearance.
ADAMS AND WELLINGTON. Two of the most re
markable men'now living are the Duke of Welling
ton and John Quincy Adams. Their sphere ofgreat
ness, and their career, have been widely different,
but in the union of homely, though not too common
virtues, of industry punctdality, faithfulness, : and
self denying effort, their practice in identical. The
following paragraph, from the London Chronicle,
illustrates a trait or two in Wellington's character:
[Salem Gazette.
The Duke of Wellington is always to befoand
in his scat from the opening of the House, and Writ
the commencement of each 'sitting there should be
no other peer present to hear prayers, he, at leis*, is
sure to be there, Though it is painfully evident that
his iron frame begins to totter, and his mind is no
longer equal to the conduct of grave and important
affairs yet the scrupulous t miners of his habits,
his sedulous attention, and his manifest anxiety,
combined with his blunt straight 'forwardness, make
him—apart from his character as the Duke—mut a
little remarkable in .the Muse of Lords.

Emigrant's Lament, written by Mr. Price Black

vocalist, and the music is as beautiful as the words.
We make room for the first three verses—there are
eight in all :
I'm sitting on the style, Mary,
Where we sat side by side,
On a bright May morning, long ago,
When first you were my bride
The corn was springing fresh and green.
And the Lark sang loud and high,
And the red was on thy hp, Mary,
And the love-light in your eye.
The place is littlechanged. Mary,
The day is as bright as then;
The Lark's loud song is in my ear.
And the corn is green again!
But I miss the soft clasp of your hand,
And your warm breath on my etplek,
And I still keep listening fer the words.
You never more may speak.
Tis but a step Gown yonder lane,
And then the little church stands near,
The church where we were wed, Mary,
I see the spire !rota here.
But the grave-yard lies between, Mary,
And my step might break your rest,
For I've laid you, darling, down to sleep,
With your baby - on your breast.

NiTVII•L HISTORY.—The Opera Daneer.—A
late English paper gives a very interesting account
of the physiology, habits, reproduction, sustenance
and geographical distribution of the 'opera dancer.
(11. Cdpernicu.s—Cesrott. ) The writer is of
opinion that the animal belongs to the Bimena or
der of beings, because be is indebted to his two legs
for existence. We make room for the following ex
tract:
Habits--The habits, of the opera-dancer vary
according as we see him in public or in private life.
On the stage he iv all spangles and activity ; off the
atage, seediness and decripitude are his chief
characteristics. It is usual fir him to enter upon
his public career with a tremendous bound and a
hat and feathers. Alter standing upon one toe,,lie
raises its fellow up ton line with his nose:and turns'.
round until the applause comes, even if that 'be de.
layed for several minutes. He then cuts six, and
shuffles up to a female of his species, who being his
sweetheart (in the ballet,) has been looking savage
envy at him, and spiteful indignation at the audi-,
enee, on accuunt of the applause, which ought to
have been reserved for her own capering—to come.
When it does, she thiws up her arms and steps
upon tiptoe about three sees, looking exactly like's
crane with a sore heel. :flaking het' legs into a pair
of compasses, she describes a circle in the air with
one gnat toe upon a pivot formed with the other ;
thin bending down so as to make a " cheese" upon
the ground, spreads out both arms to the roues in
the stalls; who understand the signal, and cry "Bra
va .! brava!! " Rising, she turns her back and thus
makes way for her lover, who being a professional
rival, she invariably detests. -
A art ErI.AEON IN WAtaiNcrott.--The Washington
cortespondeot of the New York American writes,
There is a prospect of a very gay season in the ci
ty this winter. An unusually large number of
members have made arrangements to brink their
families with them; and provision is making fbr
numerous entertainments. Mr. . Legate has taken
Mr. Dell's house, (late Count Demenou's) with its
furniture " all etanding," and will keep house on a
great scale, though is bachelor. Mr. Gales has, ta
ken the lease of the half of St. Clair Clark ' s . house
off from Mr. Granger's hands, and will play hi , -
part in the entertaintnents of the winter: Mr. Web
ster's new house, (close by,) has been fitted up in a
style well suited to the same purpose. '
It has been extensively remarked in the paper ,
that all of the new Cabinet, except Messrs. We' -
ster and Spene.er, were unmarried. It is a gre.
mistake. Messrs. Upshur and Wickliffe are a t
widowers as reported, but have both wives and eh
dren. Mr. Forward is the only widower. He liv
in quite a small and plain way in C street, near
street.. He and Mr. Wickliffe seem to have tak.
wise warning by the untimely fate of their pred..
cessors, and have forborne to go largely into bon
expenses with such an uncertain tenure. Ti
Postmaster Generalt , lias taken a very plain ordi
nary house, next to the Intelligencer
_office, in Sc.
venth street.
Ma. CLAY.—The following paragraph from tho
Lexington, Ky. Intelligencer of 23d instant, will be
read with much gratification by the friends of this
distinguished Statesman :
We are hapy to be able to state, that Mf. Clay's
health is entirely restored, and to inform his friends
that he leaves Ashland in a few days for Washing.
ton City, where we have no doubt he will remain as
long as has services can be of any benefit to his
country. The rumor that he only waits - the meeting
of the Legislature to tender his resignation, is nn
founded. It is not possible that Mr. Clay should
at this rime, when above all others, his counsel is
needed, retire from hie post, and yield the citadel
to the enemy.
TEXT AND Commarm—Tbe Albany Argue says
that Mr. Van Buren, "Animus like, will derive
strength from his fall." The New York Herald
says :
Why oot he lives temperately, rises early.
oultivates his own cabbages, and eats - them, after.
wards, with some good tome-fed pork and l plain
pudding, and does not drink too much wine s of
course he will gain, strength.
Arccnovz.—When the late Lord Clive was a
boy, and once walking with a school-fellow through
Drayton market, the two lads stopped to look at a
butcher, killing a calf. " Dear me, Bobby,'•' said
the lad, " I would ;not be a butcher for all the
world." " Why, I shunt& not much like it;"
Clive, "it's a dilly beggarly business: but • I'd a
plaguy deal rather be a botcher than a call l"
CHEAP A„‘USE3IENT.—§ix cents is tho price tax
ed in the lkew Yorlt Sessions for whipping a man
twice your size. The Tattler thinks, at that tariff,
a hula man can thrash sixteen big ones for a dollar—
if they will only let him.
A NEW EBTMELIIMMENT.-Mr. Sanderson, fore
merly of the Merchants' Hotel, is about to open s
new establishment en Chesnut street, above Third;
Philadelphia. • It will be somewhat similar to Dale
monico's, New Yor h.
THE PHILADELPHIA Lanota has a very senitble
and pointed article in relation to the late outbreak
on the part of the studente of Yale College. Thetis
young ruffians should be made to suffer for their rase
Sroyss.—'t is stated in the Peekskill Repel)li•
can, that not leas than 20,000 stoves . have been
made at the several foundries in that thriving village.
during the past year, and they will average at least
$5 each.
A FATED DasTalc.r.—The Philadelphia Ostetto
may well call the Sinnerset Congressional district in
this state a fated district. Judge Black 'who was
elected its member, 'trice Charles Ogle, der.cased, died
on Tuesday of last ireek.
