I can't nay that i do,' replied I, but I preeumo it hail come newt merit which remains to be ex plained.' ' Ez•act-ly; replied my acquaintance, pronoun- cing each syllabic of the word apart yet the coat, of which this is the remaining cuff, wee the occasion of my being just now pretty coneiderablo Well to do in the world ; I guess I am right, ain't I continued ho. appealing to his wife, a very pretty young woman, who Mood by Lim. So you neon to think,' replied she, erniiing, but I am not convinced, as far as lem concerned in the business, that the coat had any thing to do with it.' then, I 'diall just tell my story and leave you to decide,' said he, turning to me. You must ktow that there wee a time when I was rather herd up, and how to go ahead was the beleiness.— I had tried a mercantile speculation and mink en immensity of dollars. I had turned lawyer, but that would not answer in any way. I took to farm ing, no luck there., Went ottt supercargo; ship went on a reef end lost cargo. Returned le New York, speculated a long while upon nothing ; lose mach, that's certain, but did'nt realise; at last I gave up busineen, and resolved:to amuse myself a little, co I wont sonth and joined Bolivar ; I fought with him for three years, and a good officer he wee, but he had one fault as a General, which was, that hie army never got paid. I wanted my throe years, and finding that there wee neither pay nor plunder I got tired of it and made my way home to the State., and at lard arrived at the Capitol with only one extra shirt and not a cent in my pocket. I hap pened to meet with a tailor, whose customer I had once been, when I had money and paid my bills; and he observed that my coat was rather shabby, and that I could not appear well in it. I knew that very well, and that all he wanted was en order for another but, as I had ne chance of paying him, I thought it advisable not to take the hint. , 1 thin4,l said I, that with a new velvet collar end brass buttons, it :night do very well for an evening PortY 2 • " I Bee,' saye he,. thetee c i old country custom, wearing an old coat ate ball ; I guees you're going to Mr. T.'e to-morrow night.

Yea it is,' replied I ; there'll be a regular jam, and a new coat would he spoiled. I'll send it to you to-night, and you must let me hare it in the morning, to good bye.' Well, the coat came home the next day, not early in the morning, as I expected, but past merid ian, and I walked up and down my bod room in my trousers, thinking what I should do. At three o'- clock I called upon Mrs T., end left my card; went back again and waited two hours for the invitation —no invitation. Called again at five, and left an other card, tolling the nigger that I had not revived an invitation, and that there must be some mistake; whereupon • an invitation came about an hoar after ray return, just as I was putting my hat on to call again and leale another card, in a very fierce man ner, I reckon. , Well, I went early to the ball, and my coat looked remarkably gay. You could see ihrit the velvet collar was new, and the buttons glittered famously,, but you could not see that the cloth was not a little the worse for wear in short, my brown scat looked Teri smart, and I was a con siderable smart fellow myself just at .bat time, Well, I stood near the door, looking at the com pany coming in, hoping to know some body; but presume that I had grown out of all recollection, for nobody know me; but as the company were announced I heard their names, ■nd if they did not know who I wae, at all events I found out who they were. This won't do,' says I, as the rooms became quite full. I may stick against this wall till daylight, but I shall never go ahead ; so at last perceiving a young lady speaking to the daughter of the Secre tary of the Navy, after they parted, I went up and bowed to her. Having hoard her name, I preten ded to be an old acquaintance, and secured her of having forgotten me. As I was very positive and very bold, she presumed it was the ease, and when I gave her my name, which I refused to do until We had beeh talking for some minutes, an it hap pened to be a eery good one, she considered it was all right, and in another quarter of an hour we be came very intimate. I then asked her if she knew Miss E-, the daughter of the Secretary of the Navy. She replied that she did, and I requested her to introduce me, and offering her my arm, we walked up to the young lady together, and I wee introduced. Now, thought I, lam going ahead a little. After the introduction I commenced a con versation with Miss exerted myself to the utmost, and on the strength of my introduction and agreeableness, I was soon intimate with her, and she accepted my arm. As I paced her up and down the room, I asked her if site knew the daugh ter of General 8-, who was near us. She re plied in the Milrmative,and I requested an introduc tion, which was immediately complied with, and I offered Mies 8-- my other arm, sued paraded them both up and down the room, making them laugh not a little. Now I'm going ahead, thinks I, end my old brown coat looks remarkably wall. 'Here is the President coming op,' said Mine E-. De you know him ''l did once, a little, but he must have forgotten me since I have been in South America so long.' ' The Preeiden, came right up to us and address ed the young ladies ; r mad. a sort of half bow. You don't tocollut Mr. - 1' mid Mitts S-. ''l recollect the Demo well, replied the Pr eel dent. Yeu ere well eopported, Mr. -; you have the Navy and the Army os each side of yea. "Aid tho Higbee! Officer of the State before me,' replied I, with a low bow. I ought, indeed, to feel proud. Is makes amends for all the priva tion that I underwent in my last campaign with General Bolivar, for the General and his aid-de campe fared no better than the moaned ireldier.' • That lad was a hit. I did not say that I was aid-de-camp to Bolivar, bet they thought proper to fancy so; the President made me a bow, and as it appeared, he wanted to have soma information from that quarter; and he asked me many tom tione, all of which I was able to gnawer with pre cision. After a quarter of on hour's conversation, during which the whole room were wondering who it wee that wan so intimate with the President, and many were trying to catch what tom said—the President presuming, as Bolivar's aid-de-camp, that I could give him information •Jpon a certain point, end not wishing to have the &newer public, said to the young !adios, I am going to do a very rude thing; I wish to oak a question; which Mr. ----- would not like to reply to except in confidence t I must take him away from you for a minute or two. I beg your pardon. Mr, —, but I feel and shall be truly grateful far the 'artifice you will make to giving up for one moment much charming eociety.' I fear the loss will only be on my pert,' said I to the young ladies, as I dropped their arms and fol lowed the President to a vacant spot near the er. cheetra. The question which the President put to ma wee one which I could net well answer, but he helped me out of the dfficulty by answering it him calf according to his own views, end then appeal to me if it wee not correct. I replied,. that I certainly was not at liberty, although a bad left the service of General Bolivar, to repeat all that I knew; fortunately,' continued I, bowing, where such clear-sighteJness is apparent, there Is no seamen for the question being anevrered. • Ton are right, Mr. —, I wish vi! them about me had year die cretion and high sense of honer,' replied the Pre. ident, who had one of my new brass buttons be tween his (hung, and finger ; and I perceive by your reply, that I was also right In my conjecture. I am much obliged to you,and trust I shall see yen at the Government House.' I bowed and retired, lam going 'heed now at all events, thought an every one was looking at me se I retreated, I had been walking arm•in-arm with the daughters of the two firet officers of the Siete, I had been in confidential communication with the Provident, and that before all the elite of Washington. I can now venture to coder another suit of cloth, but nev er will forgot you, my old brown real. . The next day tho tailor come to me, be had heard what had taken place at the bell, and I emend ed my wardrobe Everybody came to its for or ders; and I ordered everything. Cards were left in showers; I was received everywhere, the President was my friend, and from that moment, I went ahead factor end fester every day, till I am, as you now see, well off, well married; and well up in the world. Now I do pertinaciously declare, that it wee all owing to the old brown coat ; and I have kept this cuff, which I show now ■nd then to coy woe, to prove I am grateful, for had it not been for the old brown coat, I ohonli newer have been blest with her fora companion.' •23ut,---; wild his wife, round when() waist ho had gently encircled his arm, the old brown coat would have done nothing without the velvet collar and new braes buttons.' .

CANAOI.-Speaking of a war for Oregon, the Toronto Globe of the 18th inst. says: ' , The vulnerable point on the British side is Canadc—and to defend it from the numerous forces that might come from the other side, a strong army must be sent from home, maintained at great warm. But the two Canada. contain from two to three hundred thousand men, able to bear arme, the cheepoet and best defence of Canada, and if all their hearts are as true as their arms are strong, Canada is invulnerable.
