DOW TLIET SERVED AN INDIVIDUAL. AN AMUSING STORY. .Trifles light as air, Aro to the jealous, confirmation strong, As proofs of Holy Writ.' The text may be found in the tragedy o Othello, third act, third scene. I state this remorklble fact, to show ,that the above is an 'original quotation,' taken directly from the author, and not merely quoted from a previous quoter. I hold that there may be as much piracy in quotation, as in stealing nn original idea; and I am ready to wager that Judi' the st!ribblere in the world quote from quotes, without ever reading the orig ina!s. But to the illustration of my quo tat ion. A few years ago I left my native State, on an invitation from my kind uncle Scra• pings, of Havana, to join him in partnership there, under the firm of Scrapings, Scrapps, and Company; but, before I went, I had incontinently fallen in love with a beauty of my native city, of eighteen years, and a little money. She was a most voluptuous looking little creature, with eves as black as a pair of suspender, buttons, and two little hands, as white—oh, how white! And the dear creature loved me, too; and so it camo to pass, that we were 'engaged.' It was arranged that I should go to Havana, get well established in business, then return to claim Clara Smith, (an own sister of John) for my bride. In due time, I was established, and business prospered famous. ly. Every thing we touched was converted into gold, and almost without an effort. I kept up a correspondence with Clara, in which there was a duo proportion of vows, rhapsodies, and tipostroplies; but occasion ally interspersed, on her side and on mine, with little trifling jealousies, which tended to give a lively dash of bitters •to the other wise too sickening draughts of sweets.— There was nothing very serious in these lovers' quarrels, however, and alter a short time, we always returned to the old worn. out track of unadulterated love. Two years passed away, and I was ma king ready to return fur my beloved. I was always fond of exciting surprise, and determined, on this occasion, to make a sort of trapdoor entree into the presence of my little idol. So, having deceived her ns to thn time when she might begin to expect me, I found myself,in the month of Septem -ber; in New Yorlc, on my way home; and the next evening found me at Clara's gate —that gate over which I had taken and given many a parting ki ss ! The evening was warm—the parlor windows were open, and.l heard within voices and laughter.-- Softly I approached, and slily I looked in. With a thrill of horror. I beheld Clara seat• pd in a rocking-chair, while a fellow, a young fellow, n handsome fellow, seemed with one hand to be playfully covering hei eyes, and with the other 'paddling in her neck with his damned fingerer' while her mother and sister sat on a sofa,quietly grin ning at the fellow's impudence! I telt my blood hissing in "my veins, yet:l stood still, I saw him play with her ear; 'I grinned horribly a ghastly smile.' tie spanned her face with his fingers; I twisted off two but• tons of my coat. tie encircled her head with his arm; I tore out a handful of hair. Finnally, the dumb ass opened his mouth and E ke; and I loft, my blood reddening the very . tip of my tio-,e; but I restrained my indignation, to listen. "I think," said he, "you are fond of men in general; and I think you would find little difficulty in transferring your affections from one to another, after the decease or treach ery of the first. Now suppose your lover prove treacherous—don't you think so?" I paused no longer.. Job himself, when incrusted with 'sore boils,' would not have waited so long as I did. 1 rushee into the room, and catching the (big by the throat, laid him prostrate. "Villain!" cried I. 'and is it thus you attempt to inveigle away the affections of my betrothed? Know, si ohm I will suffer death, rather than dishonor!" The mother and ,ister ran screaming from the room; but Clara, recognizimr me at, , once, fell upon my neck, cried out, "Q Judgment, (Reader, my euphonious name is Judgment Scrapps,) dear, dearest Judgment! spare him, and I will explain all to your satisfaction!' Hall doubting,' quitted my hold, and half doubting, I returned her embrace. "Say on, my Clara; I shall be but too happy to believe any thing you can say in oxplana lion." "That gentleman whom you have so wronged, is Dr. Feeler, the Phrenologist." "Plirenologistl—and pray what may that "Why, dearest, it is ono who uses the same means to discover rinother's intellect and disposition, that a monkey does to dis cover a certain species of the animal crea tion." "Sir, you are very kind, very--but hav ing just returned from a foreign land, Sir, and wishing, Sir, to say something to this lady, Sir, will you be so good as to call again, Sir; any other time, Sir; but don't let me detain you now, Sir; good evening, Sir;" and I po litely - bowed him out of the room. "And now, my dear girl,let us forget this laughable mistake; and dear, we must be getting ready. to be married. We will ho married - in one month from this very dayl" "A month!--dear me! So very soon!-- So unexpected!" "Soon! Not a bit too soon, dearest! So just shut that little ripe mouth, and let me bear no arguments, no objections. 1 must be back to Havana in all November." At this juncture, the mother and sister re entered ; end otter explanations ; reci tal of advert-; statements of future ar rangements, :11,i1 obtaining the old lady's consent, they considerately left us to our selves, and we poured out our souls togeth er, in all the rapture of passionate attach ment. Next day I left for New York, there to purchase my wedding garments, and to transact certain other necessary business. At the expiration of a week, I again drew near the temple of my idol, secretly hoping that the accursed phrenologist had been ex. tending his examinations in other regions, if any where, during my absence, and feel ing beside a great curiosity to find how Clara employed her leisure. So I crept up softly to the house, and again peeped in at the fatal window. The phrenutogist was not there—would to Heaven ho had been —but a person somewhat older and a great deal larger, with spectacles on nose, and a most diabolical smirk of total depravity. She was seated in the old fashioned easy chair, leaning back, wild° her eyes were closed, as if in conscious shame at her de. graded situation ; and he was standing over her, making motions that almost stifled me with mortification and rage. Ho seemed to be rubbing his dirty digits up and down over her soft %civet cheeks; those cheeks I had so often kissed , cheek that now blush ed with guilty passion ! passed his hands over her full, heaving bo som.

He recover, ed, however, immediately, and returned the compliment with great vigor. Finding we both might expect squie severe spa 6. before we had finished, we placed our : solves in the attitude of experienced pugil ists, while our eyes glared like the eyes:of hungry wolves. Clara and her sister advanced to the ros cue, and caught my arms, crying nut, the while, at the top of their voices : "Animal Magnetism ! Animal 'Magnetism ! It was nothing but Animal Magnetism!" " Ay, ny," I replied, " I saw it was I" at the same tune shaking them off, and re doubling my effhrts; " there was quite too much of animal attraction to suit me ; but wait till I spoil your magnet, and then you, madam, may go to -" " Here, as Yellowplush says, I recollect I was obliged to stop; for nt this moment I received a blow under the left lug, whicn laid me prostrate and senseless. Tben I' recovered, I found myself upon the' seri, and Clara's sister bathing my tem ples " How I—what !" I exclaimed : " Alt I I remember !

Presently she entered, when I commenc ed a tirade upon her fickleness and faith lessness, etc., which only ended when.! was out of breath. She listened calmly till I had done, when she replied with freezing coldness and hauteur: " Mr. Scrapps, you have spared me the pain I might have felt in bidding you fare well for ever. This is not the ,first time your absurd jealousy has brought you into a situation the most ridiculous. You will doubtless ere long learn, Sir, that the sci ence of Animal Magnetism is an exulted and innocent one ; quite as much so, Sir, as that of Phrenology ; and that a woman may submit to the process from pure love of knowledge, without compromising her dig• nity, her modesty, or her honor I" And so saying, she turned her back upon me, and was stalking out of the room with great dignity. Bitter remorse overwhelmed me. "Stay, stay :" I cried: I entreat, I implore! Pardon, pardon my ignorance!" ‘• No, Sir : ,I am well satisfied, from the frequent manifestations of your jealousy and violent disposition, that we never:could be happy together. I should be as jealous as yourself; and our life would be one scene of discord and rude commotion.

POPPING THE QUESTION. This important science in the economy of matrimony, is sensibly and philosophical ly handled by an old Bachelor in Frazer's Magazine. "Though it is impossible to say any thing much to the purpose about refusals general. ly, a little tact and observation will always tell you whether the girl who r9fiised you would have been worth having, had she ac• cepted. lam speaking of verbal communi cations only; as nobody ever writes who can speak. It is usual, in all cases of refu• sal, for the lady to say that she is deeply grateful for the honor you have done her; but, feeling only friendship for you, she re grets that she cannot accept your proposal, &c. I have beard the words so often, that I know th"•m by heart. The words, however varied, signify little; it is the tone and manner in which they are pronounced, that mbst guide you in forming your esti mate of the cruel one. If they aro pronoun ced with evident marks of sorrow, instead of .riumph, showing unfeigned regret (or hay. ng caused pain which she could not allevi ate—if her voice is soft, broken, and trem ulous—her eye dimmed with a half formed tear, which it requires even an efrort to sub• duo—then, I say you may share in her sor row, fur you have probably lost a prize worth gaining; but though you grieve you may also hope, if you are a man of any pretension, for there is evidently good feel ing to build upon. Do not therefore, fly out and make an idiot of yourself, on receiv ing your refusal; submit with a good grace; solicit a continuance of friendship, to sup port you under the heart c►usl►ing affliction you have sustained. Take her hand at par ting; kiss it frequently, but quietly; no oulre conduct of any kind—jest a little at the expense of your own failure, without however, attempting to deprive her of the honor of the victory. Rise in her estima tion by the manner in which you receive your sentence; let her sorrow be mingled with admiration, and there is no knowing how soon things will change. These in structions, you will porcieve, are not inten ded fir every one, as they require skill, tact, quickness, and feeling, in order to be appreciated and acted upon. If you want these qualities, just make love purse in hand; it is a safe mode of proceeding, and will answer admirably with all ranks, from Almack's to the Borough. There is toil% one class with whom it will not answer, and that is the very class worth having. Anon, the rascal " She left the room but now, declaring hat she had done With you forever." "If, on the other hand, the lady refuses you in a ready made and well delivered +beech, which had evidently been prepared and kept waiting for you, then make your bow, an thank yntir stars for sour lucky escape. If she admonishes your inconsid ••rate conduct, bids you calm your excited feelings, and support affliction—WA@ tri umphs, in tact, and is condescendingly po lite—then cut a caper for joy, and come down in the attitude of John of Bologna's flyieg Mercury, for you have ample cause to rejoice. If the lady snaps at you, Os much ns to say, 'You are nn impudent fel low'—which may be sometimes t rue,t hough it should not exactly be told—then reply with a few stanza's of Miss Landon's song: ahem is in southern climes a breeze, That sweeps with changeless course the seas; Fixed to one point—oh faithful gnlc! Thou art not for my wandering sail.' If she bursts out into n loud fit of laugh ter, as I once knew a lady do, then join her by all means; for you may be sure that she is an ill bred hoyden or a downright idiot. But if unable to speak, grief at having caus ed you pain makes her burst into tears—as n little Swedish girl once did when such n proposal was made to her—then join her if you like, for the chances aro that you have lost one worth weeping for." POVERTY OF PUBLIC MEN Chevalier, - (whose letters, says the Bos• ton Journal, we have mentioned as just We: sued by Weeks, Jordan, & Co.) evidently thinks that our public characters, and es pecially our national functionaries, are al lowed to spend and be spent in their coun try's service, rather more than is either po litic or just. He allows them to be " ser• vants" of the people, but thinks they are not treated as well as other menials. As might be expected, he would have a system of re• tiring pensions. On this subject he says : " I had already seen the illustrious GAL LATIN at New York, who, niter having I grown old in the service of th' republic, af -1 ter having been for forty years a legislator, I ri member of the cabinet, a minister abroad; after having taken an active part in every wise and good measure of the Federal Gov• eminent, was dismissed without any provis ion, and would have terminated his !abort ous career in poverty, had not his friends offered him the place of president of one of the banks in New York. The distress of President JEFFERSON in his old age is well known, and that he was reduced to the ne cessity of asking permiqsion of the Virginia Legislature to dispose of his estate by lot gory while President llkevitom, still more destitute, after having spent his patrimony in the service of the State, was constrained to implore the compassion of Congress;— and these are the men to whom their coun• try owes the invaluable acquisitions ot Lou isiana and Florida." General HARRISON'S case strikes him as anothor ot tile same class. He encountered that gentleman at Cincinnati, and gives us the following comment : " I had observed at the hotel table a man [about the medium height, stout and muscu lar, and of about the ago of sixty years, yet with the active step and lively air of youth. 1 had been struck with his open and cheer ful expression, the amenity of his open and certain air of command, which appeared through his ?lain dress ,That is,' said my friend, .General Harrison, clerk of the Cincinnati Court of Common Pleas'— "V hat I General Harrison of the Tippecanoe and the Thames V—The same ; the ex-gen eial, the conqueror of Tecumseh and Proc tor ; the avenger of our disasters on the Raison and Detroit ; the ex governor of their°, ritory of Indiana, the ex-ssnator to Congress, the ex-minister of the United States to one of the South American repub• lics. He hue grown old in the service of his country, he has passed twenty years of his life in those fierce wars with the Indi ans in which there is less glory to be won, but more dangers to be encountered than at Rivolt and Austerlitz. He is now poor, with a numerous family, neglected by the Federal government, although yet vigorous, because be had the independence to think for himself. As the Opposition is in the majority here, his friends have bethought themselves of coming to his relief by remo ving the clerk of the Court of Common Please, who was a Jackson man, and giving him tile place, which is a lucrative one, as a sort of retiring pension. His friends in the East tallc of making him President of the United States—Meanwhile we have made him clerk of an inferior court.'" LONGEVITY•—The Observer of Trieste states that there is at present living at Hild gausen in Silesia, a man named Hans hleiz, in his 142 d year. He has not gone out of doors for the 37 years, but still takes 2 or 3 weeks in his chamber every day. When the weather is flue, he opens his window and smokes three pipes. hie has not been able to speak' distinctly for six years, but utters a few inarticulate sounds, which his grandchildren, who attend him (all his sons are dead,) understand. "This man," adds the Observer, " has lived in three different centuries, a thing never witnessed, perhaps. since the times of the patriarchs." MISSISSIPPI BAMIS.-By a vote of 47 to 34, the House of Representatives of the .llissiasippi Legislature, have adopted a re solution requiring the Banks of that State to resume specie payments on the let of April next, cn all their liabilities, and upon failure to do so, their:charters are to be for feited, and their affiiis to be wound up by comtoissionerstheir debtors to have four yea-s in which to pay up! One of the very best political speeches we have heard, was delivered by Col. Mc- Kenney, at the dinrier on Saturday, the 21d of February, in Harrisburg. Speaking of the reasons which Induced him---an old Jackson man to support Gen. Harrison for the Presidency, the Colonel related the fol lowing anecdote: An old man who lived in the western part of this state, had two sons; of ther,nne was considered remarkably . shrewd and in• telligent--the other was an Idiot. All the property which ho possessed was an old rusty gun and a flock of sheep. In the flack was nn old ram named Billy, and ho was the only creatui.l to which, except his father, the poor simpleton evinced the least degree of attachment. Oltan on a pleasant day might the pair be seen butting each other in p'ayfulness, or lying on the sunny side of a verdant hill, caressing with the utmost tenderness. But the father died and the poor boy having one object less to call forth his affections, seemed to become more fond of the society of Billy then ever he was be fore. A short time after their father's death, the cunning son counting on his brothers great love for Billy, divided the flock, put ting all the diseased sheep together with Billy into one inclosure, while the sound members of the fleck were driven by them selves. He then informed his brother that the sheep were separated into two equal portions, of which he might take his choice. For soma time the idiot :surveyed the two divisions with intense : interest. At lenath putting down his head as was his custom when he wanted to romp with Billy,he said: Dear Billy, one butt more for the sake of old times—the best of friends must some• time' parts and I think you and I will play no longer. I love you dearly billy, and I am sorry for it, but you have get along with such a ,set,of rotten scamps that I can have nothing more to do with you. Brother I take the other lot of sheep. Farewell Billy. Thus, said the Colonel has it been with thousands of the original Jackson men of Pennsylvania; they loved Jackson as well as the poor silly boy loved his Billy:—he is in bad company now. The old rotten cor rupt tederbls were around him, and though like the cunning brother, they might hope to cheat that great simpleton the public, by playing upon their affections. yet simple as the people were considered by the little Ma gician and his federal advisers they would find themselves mistaken in their views.— Foolish as the people might be, they had al• ways sense enough to know their own inter• est, and rebuke those who would dare to bring them on a lovol with the slaves of the monarchical government of the Old World.

Harrison will bu elected."— I was very much surprised to find such opinions in such a quarter. Mr. Calhoun stands fast to his ideal state right opinions, while the whole south is changing around him. He does not perceive that the ground is stealing from under hie feet. " From every fact, iilterence, and opinion I can hear or gather, there can be no ques tion but the Opposition can elect Harrison if they will come to the polls as they did in 1837 and '3B. They have the votes no mistake, as the returns the last four years will show. The administration' here are beginning to be alarmed at the prospect of things." THE Loo CABIN AND HARD CIDER CAN• DIDATE.--Gen.

The ladies of Chilicothe Ws°, soon atter Allen made the charge, called a meeting, and passed resolu• Lions pronouncing Allen's charge to be a base untoun•led cnlumny ; and demanded of him to name one lady who participated in the alleged aliiir ; and that if he did not, his silence would be received ns a proof of his . having uttered n vile and calumnious lialsehond.
