Though far from being even pretty-faced, or havincr ° any pretensions to a good figure, for she both stooped and was skinny, she 'yet believed herself 'handsome ; arid by a vulgar, flippant forwardness of demeanour, especially when in mixed company, extort ed such attentions as persuaded her that o-' there thought so. _ For one or two years she had bean an oc casional patient of mine. The settled pal lour, the sallowness Of her complexion, con jointly. with other symptoms, evinced the ex istence of a liver complaint; and the last visits I had paid her were in .consequence of frequent sensations of oppression and pain in the chest, which clearly indicted-some organic disease of her heart.

She heard the wind howling so dismally without, that she drew together the coals of her brisk fire and was laying down the poker, when the clock of— church struck the second quarter after nine.' "Why what in the world can Charlotte )e doing all this while?" she again inquired. She listened—"l have not heard her move for the last three quarters of an hoik; call the maid, and ask." She rung the bell, and the servant appeired. . "Betty', Miss-J is not gone yet, is she?" "La, no, ma'in," replied the girl; "I took up the curling-irons only about a quarter of an hour ago and she, had'put one of her curls out; and she said that she should soon be ready. She's burst her new muslin dress behind, id that's put her into a way, ma'am." "Go up to her room, then,.l3etty, and tell' her it's half past nine o'clock," said Mrs. J—. The servant accordingly went up stairs, and knocked at the bedroom door once, twice, thrice, but received no answer. TheKe, was a dead silence, except when the wind shook the window. Could Miss have fallen ay e leep ?- Oh, Impossible ! The servant knoce'ti again, but unsuccesSive lv as befbre. She Became a little fluster- . ed.; and after ay.moinent's pause, opened . the door, and entered. There was Miss J—, sitting at the glass. "Why la, ma'am," commenced Betty, iaa petulant tone, walk ing up to her, "here have 1 been knocking for. these - live minutes, and" ' Betty staggered horror-struck to the bed and ut tering a loud shriek, alarmed Mrs. J--, who instantly tottered up.stairs, almost pal .sietl With fright. - lyrist Jr_- was dead! i s I was there within Ow minutes, for my house was not more than two streets distant. tavas.itstermy_nightla.the-mont It of-Marc hi. and the desolate aspect of things without—' deserted streets; the dreary howling of the wind, arid the incessant pattering of the rain - 7 -contributed to cast a gloom over my mind when connected with the intelligence of the awful event that had summoned me out, which was deepened into horror by the:spec tacle I was doomed to witness :—On reach ing the hotise, I found Mrs. J— in violent hysterics surrounded by several of her neigh bors, Who liad been called to her assistance. I repaired instantly to the scene of death, and beheld what I shall never forget- The room was occupied by a white Curtained bed: There was but one • window, and before it Was a table on, which sood a looking-glass, hung with a little whitefdrapery; and various paraphernalia of the toilet lay scattered a blaut; broaches, pins, . curling-papers—rib bons—gloves,&c. And arm-chair wasdrawn_ to this table ; and in it sat Miss J— stone ' deridl - 11Trlid rested upon her right hand - her - elbow supported - ty - thelable; -while her left hung down by her side, grasping a pair of curling-irons. Each of her wrists was encircled by a very showy gilt bracelet.— She was dressed in a white muslin frock with a little bordering of blonde.. Her face was turned towards the glass, which, by the light of the expiring candle, reflected with frightful fidelity the cl'ammy, fixed features, daubed over with rouge,and carmine—the fallen lower jaw—and the eye directed full into the glass, with a cold stare that was ap palling. On examining the. countenance more narrowly, I thought -I detected. the traces of a smirk of conceit and selftcompla cency, which not even the palsying touch of death could wholly obliterate. The hair of the corpse, all smooth and glossy, was Aprled witglaborate prec4on; and the skinny aallow neck was encilicled with a string of glistening pearls. The ,ghastly visage. of death thus leering through the tin selry of fashion—the "vain show" of arti ficial joy -;--was itilogible mockery of the fooleries of life. Indeed, it was.a Most huniiliating and shocking spectacle. Poor Creature! Struck dead in the very act of sacrificing at the shrine of female vanity! She must have been dead for some time; perhaps twenty minutes or halfan hour, when I arrived; for nearly all the animal heat had deserted the body, 'which was rapidly stiffening. I attempted but in vain, to draw a little blood from the arTne. -- TWT:i or three women. present pro.. ceeded to ieMove . the corpse to the. bed, for the purpose of laying it out.

VARIETYi -. 7 A GOOD SHOT! One of.the best,shots I ever heard of was Made with a percussion gun. About 10 or 12 years ago an EaStern Shore vessel was 'frozen up in this river, and her provisions being .exhausted, the captain went on shore to "see hoW the land laid;" in other words to make a. reconnoisanco of hen robsts.--; Old Mrs. who , was celebrated for the number of her domestic fowls, calild not bargain with the captain for any of his "as , sorted cargo;" at o length.he agreed to give a silver dollar for a shot among the poultry, and agreed to shoot a gun without a flint= this was accepted by the old lady, provided she loaded the gun, which she stipulated to do fairly. Capt. Bobstay, who was up to a thing or twik went on board, took down Old Blue Trigger, (just altered to the per cussion principle,) a large silver sighted, trumpet muzzled, imported before the revo lution 'to shoot 'swans on the PotoMac, put in six fingers clear of the wads, then cut of the ramrod level with the muzzle, and re turned on shore, re in forced by his mate and cook. The old lady, after trying the ram rod, very deliberately took off a small thim ble, which she used as a charger, and hav , ing •FOaded with a thimble full of powder and an equal quantity of shot, delivered the gun to Capt. Bobstay, who then placed sly finre rails in two rows at a foot distance, and,bait ing corn between them; so soon as the poultry mounted the raili and began to feed with .their heads betwees the rows, Bobstay took a position so as to enfilade the whole defile. Slap bang went Old Blue Trigger, with a most horrid explosion. lluzza for Old.
