a Not 'to mention aqiumtity kept from the rest.
Sufficient to fill the largest.sized chest,
Which did not appear on the ship's manifest,
But for which the ladies themeolves manifested
Such particular Interest that they invented ".
Their own proper Omens to layers and town
Of mualins, embroideries, worked underclothes,
OloVes; handkerclitehi, tumid, ant such trifles as those ;
Then; wrapped in great shawls, like Cireastianbeauties,
Have goodbye to the ships and go-by to the duties ),
Now thhinusy Nitro°, and It nfay bee sham;
Put if the fair maiden Bins cheated poor " Sam,"
What value the beauty, the wealth, or the station
.Of one who, lotent - on, a large importation,
Thrill swindled her Untie, the head of the nation !
hat what said the lawyer, who courted the maid ?
He knowing the fact—wee the secret betrayed ?
Did the heart in bin bosom indignantly await?
Did he bid the fair smuggler for ever farewell
db., no! be but smiled on her brazen effrontery,
In dodging the duties site owed to her coitntry ;
!relining, no doubt, that in saving the pelf
She Was raise to her country, bdt true to herself'
That these were his feelings the sequel will prove;
To marry the maid wa's his very next move,
And roiling her hand; having won her consent,
Ile thus to his pride and his rulings - gave vent:
" 'should mention ,just here, that out of Mice Flora's
- Two hundred and fifty or sixty adorers
I bedfast been selectedas he who should throw all
The rest in the shade, tythe gracious bestowal
On myself, after twenty or thirty rejections,
Of those fossil .remalus which she called s her &fee-
Hope
And th•e
rather decayed, but well-known work of art,
Which Affss Flora persisted to calling her heart.'
So we were engaged. Cur troth had been plighted ;
Not by moonbeam. by starbearn, by fountain, or grove;
But la dfront parlor, meet brilliantly lighted,
Beneath the gas fixtures. wo whispered our love."
The adage is old, that there's " many a slip,
In tourae of• true loco, Imixt the cup and the lip,"
And the chalice of bliss that our lover had found,
By a vrentriashlyapoken, he dashed to the ground.
Ills bright aspirations, his castles in air,
IVerefehrowled for ever In-clouds of despair.
It *Meal that klissFlom was asked to a boll,
A very select and recherche affair,
Math., in the fashions the leader of all,
ID the pride of her beauty, must Sorely be there.
But black ! and alas! notwithstanding the mg.,
Flout par's imported, per good steamer Arago ;
Notwithstanding the thousands, and thousands of dol
lars,
Invested in satiric ailks, velvets. and collars; -
The maiden in tears, and almost in despair,
Could not go to the ball, for she'd nothing to wear.
Her lover suggested a silken brocade, •
Pink, purple, and lilac, and many a abode;
A. Win, e velvet, a rich grenadine,
In which, at the ball room, of fashion the queen,
Bite might, with her raiment and graces allied,
Bring her foes to her feet. and her beaux to her aide,
Of ladies the envy. of lovers the pride.
In vain were hie pleadings, w th logic and Mall,
Her reason was dead, and bad left her a will,
"And the will, In expression, had made her the heir
Of that quartet of syllablea, '*Nothing to wear."
The lover insisted; her vows she forgot,
And called him a monster, a base Hottentot.
The foot that was cloven no longer ccncealing,
Ho was fairly exposed as a man without feeling.
She had heard full enough, and cite wished for no more.
He saw that it might not be prudent to linger,
And Heisting his heaver, he made for the door,
To whialiehe was pointing her gem-lighted enger,
And stopping a moment, to breathe on the square,
Heard a cry of distress, -rr i have nothing to wear."
The maiden was right; she was naked, indeed,
With the vesture of innocence bartered away;
'Mid the pomp of the world she was feeling the need
01 the mantle of faith on her shoulders to lay.
The faith that In tronb'lea and trials below,
When, hopes that we cherished are sundered and riven,
Will point from the depths of our sorrow and wo,
To the home of the blessed, in the mansions of heaven.
The faith, that in works, with a will and a way,
'Lifts up the unfortunate, stricken by sorrow;
Dispelling the clouds from the sky of , to•day,
For the sunrise of hope on the tooting loqnorrow.
A faith such ea this—with a hand and a heart—
The troirldea and burdens of others to share—
Wail of Flora llclirliresey nu parcel or part,
And truly she uttered " I've nothing to wear."

PARLIAMENTARY REFORM
The Ministerial Manifesto, commonly called
ce tha Speech from the Throne," read by Queen
Vicroma on the opening of the session of
Parliament, on the 3d instant, actually makes
a promise of Parliamentary reform.: Lord
PALMERSTON evidently is afraid of any longer
resisting the rightful demands of the British
people. Something must bo done; and the
world may depend on it that PALMERSTON will
take good care, as far as his power and hide
once extend, that the people shall have just as
little Reform as he can possibly contrive.
Tory, as he is, to the back-bone, he will not
willingly essay any question granting power to
the masses. Re will cheat them, if they let
him, with a mere apology for what they are en
titled to.
In this Key-Stone State, where every man
who pays a tax is entitled to vote, at general
and local elections, we dare say that the limi
tation of the voting privilege is looked upon
with considerable contempt. Many sound
Democrats, all over the State of Pennsyl
vania, would scarcely believe that in England
no man can vote except he possess property
to an aniount beyond what a horny-listed son
of labor has any chance of ever obtaining, or
unless Ito occupy a dwelling rated for local and
Government taxes at the yearly rental of $5O
per anmun. To agitate for an alteration in
this system is considered almost seditious, and
entirely" vulgar." There was a time, within
the memory of living men, when an advocate
of this change, which then went by the name
of Radical Reform, was literally a marked
man, looked upon as disaffected and jacobini
cal, suspected of revolutionary designs, hunted
and dogged by policemen and Government
spies, and seldom parted with until after his
spirit had been broken by accusation, trial, con
viction, and hard imprisonment. In those days,
when MajOT CARTWRIGHT, and HENRY .HUNT,
JOHN CAM HODHOESE, and a few more men of
substance, used to wear white hats, to designate
their political opinions, any humbler follower
who adopted a head-covering of the same
sort was liable to be insulted, if not assaulted,
in the name of the law," by special con•
stables of unequivocal ct loyalty i" and this
game of cross-purposes went on until the
good sense of the late Lord CASTLEREAGH
put an end to it. One day, this leader of the
Tory or anti-Radical party crossed Palace
Yard; to the House of Commons, wearing a
white hat with a brim of exemplary latitude,
and from that moment white-hatism was ex
tinguished, as a political or party demonstra
tion. But the, feeling which it represented
was not extinguished. Under many disadvan
tages it continued to burn on
Like the bright harp that lay on Kildare's holy
shrine.'
After many years of struggling, what goes
by the name of Parliamentary Refortn was
taken up, literally as a party rellying-point, by
the Whigs, immediately after the accession of
WILLIAM IV. Though, every now and then,
a grand debate was got up, in Parliament, on
this Reform question, to enable the Whigs to
make a few ad captandune speeches, (for the
Whigs have loudly professed themselves to be,
par excellence, " the Friends of the People,")
nothing was done to make it into a reality. At
last, when the Wellington Cabinet was weak,
in the fall of 1830, duet after the euccessful
revolutions in Paris and Brussels,) the Whig
office-seekers raised the cry of "Reform!"
and when WELLINGTON and PEEL refused to
respond to it, Lord GREY and his friends came
into power. After a prolonged contest with
theirThey_oppeeente t in which beilLemenee_
did their best to preserve Whir own usurpa
tions and grant as little as possible to the Peo.
pie, the Reform Bill was passed. Tho multi
tude, deceived and flattered, believed those
who metaphorically described it as "The Se
cond Magna Charts."
But time, says the poet, at last sots all
things oven. A brief experience of the new
measure showed how little actual benefit was
"likely to accrue from it to the people. The
Whigs, in truth; had done little more than
pass a measure the direct tendency and ope
ration of which was to preserve their own
political influence in the boroughs and coun
ties, and destroy all the influence, from poli
tical and personal causes, hitherto possessed
by their antagonists, the Tories.
The great principle of representation—that
every man should have a vote for his parlia
mentary representative—was abandoned by the
Whigs. They based the elective franchise
upon property, not on a citieen's inherent
right to have a voice in the choice of a person
who, in his name—in the name of the Com
mons at large—have the power of making lows
and imposing taxes. Here is a case to which
Dr. FitneeLie's celebrated illustration may be
said to apply. A man by keeping a donkey
may be enabled to make as much money as
allowed him to pay £lO a year of rent. Should
the donkey die, and the man's income be
curtailed by the loss of his services, it clearly
would appear that, not the man, but the donkey
had the voting power.
The question of vote by ballot was wholly
thrown over by the Reforming Whigs—as
they called themselves. Then arose a body of
real Reformers, the working class of England
and Scotland, who framed The Charter—
whence their name Chartists—whereby Uni
versal Suffrage, Vote by Ballot, Annual Parlia
ments, No, Property qualification for mem
bers, and the fair division of the country into
electoral districts, should be granted. The
Chartists were. opposed, of course, by Whig
and Tory, but they have a large organization,
too powerful to be any longer neglected.
Anxious to return to office, Lord JOHN Res-
SELL, son and brother of a Duke, and a nominal
friend of the people—announced, three years
ago, that he would introduce a bill into Par
liament for amending and extending the Re
form Bill of 1832. He has taken the matter
very lightly, being a mere poplar* hunter.
Early this year, Lord PALMERSTON announced
that he would introduce a bill for the same
purpose as RUSSELL'S promised one, and have
it before Parliament early in 1858. We do not
believe that he had any intention of doing this,
his simple purpose being to out-bid Lord lone
RUSSELL, and trust to the chapter of accidents
to give him a plausible excuse for still further
delaying it. The troubles In India, and the
financial condition of England, were assigned
by Lord PALMERSTON'S journals as giving suffi
cient reasons why his promised Reform bill
0110111 d 7101 be presented now. But the popular
demand has swelled from a whisper ,into a
shout, and, front tile throne Itself, Queen Vie-
Tonle has been compelled to repeat the pro
mise of Parliamentary Reform made by her
Premier. We are curious to know what the
Government measure shall be. It' any public
man in England knows how to
Keep the word of promise to the ear
And break it to the hope,
Lord PALMERSTON undoubtedly is that man.
Thu British people, however, appear re
solved not to let the matter pass thus easily.
They want The Charter—with the Ave points
or principles above named. Against them is
an array of members of Parliament, headed by
•RoEnecx; who have concocted a josh
milieu plan of Reform, *rimed with the inten
tion of disarming the opposition of Whig and
Tory, and, therefore, a sorry substitute for the
broad principles embodied in The Charter.
They have hinted an address, In 'which they
very truly and concisely stay to the People of
Great Britain and Ireland:
"The existing machinery for the constitutional
expression of public opinion is inadequate, and to a
largo extent untrustworthy. The constituent body
is needlessly restricted, Considerable portions of It
are exposed to the disturbing action of illicit in
fissures. A large majority of members is returned
by a small minority of electors. The legal term
of Parliaments iq too long to Insure the responsi
bility of representatives to the represented. Them
are the main defects of the present system. The

financial extravagance, and a foreign polloy always

wishes. Reform Bill that will moody thesa de
fects will no doubt satisfy you,"
Then follows what the ROEBUCK and ,hie
friends call « a broad outline of Parliamentary
Reform." It runs thus :
"1. The extension of the borough franoistie in
England and Wales to ovary male person of full
age, and not subjcot to any legal incapacity; who
shall °cow, as owner or tenant, in part or whole,
any premises within the borough which are rated
to the relief of the poor.
"2. The extenslon of the county franetiso in
England and Wales to all £lO occupiers, at least;
and the assimilation, as far as possible, of the
franchise in Sootland and Ireland to those of Eng
land and ‘Vales.
"3. Protootton to the voter by the ballot on a
plan similar to that adopted in the Australian
colonies.
"4. A re•apportioumont of motile, 'that shall
make such an approach to an equalization of oon

majority df members to' a: majority of Ciedo7B.
"5. Abolition of property 9,Milifieation of Mem.•
bets,
"O. The calling of a Dow Parliament every three
years."
This is excessively vague. Instead of
claiming that every tax-payer shall have a
rote, it virtually deprives the greater portion
of the mechanics and laborers of the United
Kingdom of all power of voting. It declares
that a mere lodger, however intelligent and
wealthy, shall not vote. Having a house, and
being «rated to the relief of the poor," is the
sole qualification. This will never do. Yet
we do not expect even as much as this from
the Ministerial measure which Queen VICTO
RIA has been made to promise. If, as we are
informed, Mr. ROEBUCK drew up what is to
pass as a ac broad outline of reform," we are
not surprised at its being unsatisfactory. A
nominal liberal, he has over been tho 0pp0. 7
nent of what is called Chartism.
MAGAZINES FOR JANUARY.
Harper's Magazine, which Peterson retails
at fifteen cents a copy, comes to us with se
veral additional features of value and interest.
The new number contains an original story,
called Tim Doom of the Griffiths," written
expressly for Harper, by Mrs. Gasket!, author
of "Mary Barton," and "Memoirs of Char
lotte Bronte." It a story of deep tragic in
terest, impressively told. Further, there is
the continuation of Mr. Medea IlemWs new
story, (also written for Harper,) and of , c The
Virginians," by Thackeray. There is the
promise, for the February number, of a
new tale by Wilkie Collins, author of
Tho Dead Secret." The opening article,
by Mr. T. Addison Richards, is a long, hand
somely illustrated notice of N. P. Willis,
and his country residence, on the Hudson,
which ho calls Idlewild. Mr. Richards is the
artist as well as the author of this eulogium.
His sketches are admirable, and his descrip
tions not deficient in giaplaie force. Now and
then, ho used odd words, such as 04/-
directed," and c( belifffed." Another illustra
ted paper is number four of "A Winter in the
South," also by an author-artist. It contains
an account of a perilous night-descent of The
Trembling Fork, by the Bald Mountain, on
the ridge between Tennessee and North Caro
lina, which, for force of narrative, equals
anything wo have read for years. There is
also a good sketch of Kan Foster, a gal
lant mountaineer, and an episode of por
trait-taking among the hills. Among the
miscellaneous articles is an agreeable story
called ,( Letitia's Bridal Gifts," with the
moral not too prominent, and "Throe Chapters
of Mr. Life." Mr. Reado'a new story brings
us behind the scones of the Adolph! Theatre,
in London, with a particular account of
Mademoiselle D'jels, the acting elephant. The
only heavy paper (with the merciful advan
tage of brevity) is a Living with Others." Ai

reading, evidently Is getting out of his depth,
and plunging iuto an abyss of anachronism.
introduces, as actors in his life-drama, not
only "Mr. Washington," but. ri Mr. Franklin,
of Philadelphia," and makes circumstances so
run, in his fiction, that Washington - (while
courting his,own Martha Cnstis) is suspected
of wooing Madame Esmond Warrington, for
her wealth. It is easy to see how this will be
cleared up, but surely this familiarity with
Washington, who io placed in a false, and not
very seemly position, is earner/hat of a gra
tuitous impertinence.
Apropos of January, there ix a two:page
• • • ' •' . whlk.b.„.tat,
ing story of haps an mishaps -
From the Editor's Drawer, wo cull a I . olv
amusing odds and ends :
John Morgan was a merebant and ship-owner,
formerly residing in Hartford, Connecticut. Ho
made a contrast with a builder to build him a
vessel; when the vessel was partly finished, and
he had received payment for all he had done, he
went to Mr. M., and told hint that ho bad ascer
tained that he could not build the vessel for the
price agreed, no ho should lose all be was worth,
and perhaps more, and had therefore concluded
to abandon the job where it was, and let him get
some one else to finish it. This was a poser to M.,
who, after thinking of It a few moments, said to
him : "Well, well, you go on with It, and when we
settle consider you," which to the builder was
satisfactory. 110 therefore went on until the job
was finished, M. advancing money front time to
time. When they came to settle, M. drew his
check for the balance due according to contract;
the builder stood and hesitated a while, and then
Bald • "You know,Mr. Morgan, you said that if I
would go on with he job you would consider me."
"Well, well," said the old man, •:1 Imre considered
yer, and considered per a great fool for OM • on't

The farmers will brag as well as grumble. The
weather is !toyer just right, and their crops aro all
bound to be reined ; but after they are in, they
do love to tell what famous ones they have had,
and how much work they did in no time at all
getting them tinder cover. "Out in Michigan,
last summer," writes a friend, "a number of
Coroners were sitting in front of a country store,
at the close of a sultry day, and telling stories
about their work, and so on, when one of them took
the rag off tho whole of them by relating his ex
perionce : ' I day, you have all told whopping big
yarns now ; but I'll just toll you what 1 done once
in York State, on the Genesee Flats, and on my
father's farm. Ho owned a meadow just n mile
long, and one morning in Juno I begun to mow—sun
about an hour high—and mowed rijklit along the
whole length of the field The grass was so heavy
that I had to mow down to the lower and of the
field and walk, or, as we say, "carry my:worth."
Well, I worked on till sundown, and thou quit. I
just thought, as the meadow was exactly a mile
long, I'd count the swathe, and I did, and there
was ob. hundred ! That, gentlemen, is what York
State folks call a big day's work.' So you
walked two hundred miles that day, did you"
asked one forum. ' And mowed all tho while
you was walking t' said another. 'So it seems,'
replied the great mower. I tell you the facts,
and you can make as much of it as you can.' "
Ono of our friends in Wittemberg writes of a
genuine Young American on this wise lam a
tiabbath-school teacher. Tho other day I over
took ono of my scholars as ho was walking in the
street, and I thought I would embrace the oppor
tunity to make an impression on his mind in ro•
feronoo to his future. So taking him kindly by
the bond, I went on to talk to him about being a
ministor when be should grow to be a man, and
preaching to the people. When I had set before
him, in the most glowing words I could commend,
the greatness of the calling, and the wonderful
good ho might be the means of doing, Tasked him
If he would not like to be engaged in such a work!
Tho little fellow looked up at me, with a tour in
his eye, and a half smile on his face, and asked In
a tremulous tone of voice, "Well, how much pay do
you think I'd got ?" There woo the ruling passion
strong at the start. The dollar was almighty with
the troy, as it is with the man.
PETERSOisPS LAMES' MAGAZINE.
There is nothing, in periodical literature,
like the process proverbially called (< putting
the best foot foremost." Mr. Peterson has
'done it, in this New Year's number, which
commences the thirty-third volume of his
Magazine. Besides colored fashions and
worsted-work plates, and numerous wood-cuts,
he gives two admirable steel-engravings,—
one entitled Grandpapa's Carriage, is good
enough to deserve being framed; the other,
which will gratify the maternal inqincto of his
female readers, is Mother's Darling."—From

This periodical, the present number of which
commences volume XI, Is profusely illustra
ted, and. contains several lively stories, which
are not too long. Mr. Arthur and Virginia
F. Townsend are thd best contributors. here,
for the benefit of Married folks, la a bit of
home-truth most sensibly conveyed:
"The last word is thernast dangerous of infernal
machines. Husband and wife should no more strive
to got It than they would struggle for the posses
sion of a lighted bomb-shell. Married people
should study each other's weak points, as skaters
look after the weak parts of the ice, in order to
keep off them. Ladies who marry for love should
remember that the union of angels with women has

there is nothing to keep heavy bodies, like bus.
bandsi from flying off into space. The wife who

The above are the only Magazines for Janu

Now, what are the ttioNs? Before attempting
to consider this, it may be proper to state that this
is nomroseribed inquiry. The Saviour, indeed, re•
baked the people as "hypocrites," in the days of
his Incarnation, for "discerning the face of the

upon their ability to road correctly the 14 119

Is, there is no knowledge pertaining strictly to this
world which man has not a perfect right to attain
unto, if he ran, though it is equally true that in
certain departments of knowledge the most pow•

Tie now-fledged songsters of our lartude in

knowledge, take up their intuitive flight
at the approach of winter; not eastward, nor
wolward, nor northward, but roc/throats,/ they
fly to a more congenial clime. Another re.
malably sagacious feature in the char.teter
of :attain members of this feathery tribe is,
that when they return to us in spring they
bold their nests in comparatively exposed ritua
time in dry seasons, and bettcr•straltercd in wet
ono, and, indeed, so infallible are they in thus
an.triiniting the character of the season, that
Keens observant of this circumstance have oft
tines predicted with groat certainty whether the

disation, to which much significance is attached in
sotto quarters, is, that when the corn-husks are

Another noticeable circumstance in favor of ci

To draw another inference from a neutral pule

full of affecting boauty)—we hare learned, both
from our -own observation and the experience of

of provender for the cattle are uniformly followed
with a short winter, in order to wake the supply
sufficient. Thus does the eloator "feed the

Cowper,
"clod moves in a mysterious way
His wontiors to perform;

out consulting the scientific onunciations of either
Maury or Chapman—(both of which gentlemen he
believes aro now engaged in prosecuting a high or

foro us will be, in its physical aspects, favorable to
the poor; and as to the Providential ruse which is
needed, not only for the poor, but for all—at this
time and all tittles, there is a sate way to obtain it,
and that is by an intelligent reliance upon him
who has promised to be " a strength to the poor, a

unionism can have advocacy, patriotism—true
patriotism—that is, the establishment of equal
rights, which elevate mankind—being the only
issue to be found in its columns.
The "Familiar Life of Pennsylvania,"
giving the social habits of the Dunkees, was
much wanted in California, and if we learn to
imitate those plain-spoken, honest and useful
citizens, we need no tariffs of taxation, be
cause we can here grow and make up all that
is absolutely wank(' for subsistence and hu
man comfort, excepting women—bless the
exception—and if you can induce five hundred
of the Industrious girls now out of employment
in your city to cones this way, you will pro
mote the public good. They can
.have front
five to ten dollars neekly each, with mate
certainty than any journeyman mechanic; be
cause of these already we have a superabun
dant supply for the labor market. I make
this truth known despite the deceptive mis
statements of immigrant associations, whose
intent it is, being generally landlords, to have
surplus labor, so they can reduce wages and
Increase the hours of daily toil. This they
have so far accomplished as to pay two dollars
to laboring hands on the public streets fora daily
drudgery of eleven and a half hours,
whilst hun
dreds of good workers cannot get any work;
still, we hope for better times, as the me
chanics, artists, and laborers have commenced
an organization for seMprobaction.
This subject of working-men's societies
brings me back to "the times that tried men's
souls" in 1837, when the bankers and specula
tors, for whose sole gain every bank of issue
is chartered, bpollated the fartnera and working
classes, generally, in like manner as has now
been perpetrated by the same classes. The
workeys bad been studying production,distribu
t ion, and political economy in their primary
schools, the trade societies. We were then
told by the chief of the mammoth rag-money
institution, that 'twos our duty to pay our fo
reign creditors first. Until then we had thought
ourselves giving credit to bankers when we
took their lying promises as payment for labor
done ; but we soon found that Mr. Biddle
meant as he aaid, because, although ho would
not pay ady note or bill issued by the United
States Bank to any claimant in Philadelphia,
he actually, at that very time, shipped off to
England in ono night, putting the same aboard
one of Caleb Cope's Liners, six dray-loads of
specie.
The unwelcome instruction thus given, so
stirred up the workingmen that they speedily
assembled in the State House yard to adopt
measures for relief and future protection.
Some twenty-two thousand of the usethl
classes, without distinction of party, met, and
then memorialized the President of the United
States and Congress to enforce the observance
of the 10th section, Ist article of the National
Constitution, which expressly says: "No
State shall omit bills of credit." The intelli
gent men, thus convened, proclaimed the fact
that every bank note is a bill of credit; but
previous to that time, Charles J. Ingersoll, as
profound a legist, and eloquent advocate of
the priuciples of self-government as was then
in Philadelphia, had, in reply to the citizens
of Spring Garden, denounced the chartering
of banks of issoo as being unconstitutional,
and consequently illegal. When we look back
and feel how much was left undone, all who
now live °fillet bander brotherstuust regret that
that we did not effectually reform. or remove,
the evil, yet, mayhap, we did all that existing
knowledge enabled us to perform; and, albeit
the bankers still continue their encroachments,

CITY POLICE-DECEMUER 18
[Reported for TUo VIVIN 3
A &nom? Dun. Prievmrso —The police office
this morning was irradiated by the presence of a
pretty and rather styliehly-dressed young lady, Miss
Louisa Cummings by name, who assists her mamma
in attending to a email trimmings store in the south•
ern part of the city. Mies Cummings was attended
by a thin young gentleman, of the lymphatic tem
perament, with light curly hair, and large, round
blue eyes, whose mime pieced to be d:divard L
Pearce. With a fascinating lisp. Miss Louim stated
that she came to have Edward bound over to keep
the peace. Surprised by the suavity with which
Louisa made and Edward listened to this re
quest the magistrate inquired what wore the
grounds of complaint, and the young lady gave
the following statement :
Mr. Pearce, (whose employment is described as
" standing in a store,") is " engaged" to Miss C ,
who is persecuted, however, by the obstinate at
tention of a rejected suitor, a brick-layer by trade,
familiarly called Bob Durham. A few evenings
ago, Pearce and Durham met in the street, and
had an argument, in the course of which Bob
Durham called Noddy l'oarce a "puppy," for which
Pearce signified his determination to have gentle
manly satisfaction, declaring his willinglivs to
fight with any kind of weapon " from a needle to
an anchor."
Bob Durham was equally ready to do battle;
and to prove that he really intended to execute
something horrible, he called on Itliss,,Cummings,
and made the following alarming communication :
"‘Loulser," (said he eoletunly,) "you have treated
use shabbily, as you well know, but I am going to
show a magnanimous example, to let you eco that I
forgive you.. I suppose if that sneaking fellow,
Pearce. were brought here with the little brains he
ever had blown clean out, it would make you feel
rather uncomfortable, and you'd go to going on as
If something awful had happened." '
Louisa confessed that such au event would be
decidodly unpleasant to her feelings.
Well," continued the rejected laver, '• he and
are going, to fight a terrible duel with double
loaded horse-pistols. lie can't shoot any more
than a lobster, while I am a first-rate shet, and
can bit a pumpkin at six paces. So just as a favor
to you, I have come to advise you to run to the
Mayor's, and let him know what a frightful trage
dy is about to bo enacted. If you don't have
Pearce bound over, and keep him from meeting
me, I promise you s on the word of a gentleman and
e. man of honor, that ho will be a bloody corpse
before two o'clock P. M. to-morrow."
We need scarcely say that Miss Louisa eagerly
accepted the advice, and ehe was pleased to find
that 'Edward required but little persausion to be
bound over. Indeed ho appeared to be rather re.
liovad in mind, and one or two of his acquain•
taneos who happened Mho in court smiled incredu
lously when Mr. Pearce remarked as ho departed
" I had set my hearten fighting that there duel,
and it's a terrible vexation to too to loco the chime°
of riddling that sneak's gizzard ; but I sacrifice
my honorable resentment to spare the feelings of
Louisor." W.
