Vtwh-A .LoE ScHNE WAS CUT SHoRT. :-sThere is but one step from th hublime to.the ridiculous,' saye on old pliilbopler, and that step is a short bne, we would add. Have you ever visited the top of a high mountain on n solitary poetical visit, dear render, and us you were gazing over the gloNous aray of hills; valleys, rorests, 4nd waving grain, stretching out far below, raised your head to utter an inspiration, and noticed a sturdy jackass coutemplatively gazing at the same scene? Have you ever seen a "blue. botilo' sportively buzzing about the hose ofa venerable parmon as he is Jiously uttering a rapt passage from p4sial? Have you ever heard a deep.mouthed Macbeth whisper to Macdulf in the Marial combat, 'Hurry up and stick, Mne, dry as a fish.' -ave you ever seen the ragged proprietor of a hand organ solemnly grinding away before a fashionable Musio Store? Have you ever noticed a full.blown Eixquisite striding along with a tately htep, and gazing cloud-ward, meet with an unexpected fall of six inches at Some street.corner? If you have seen these or any similar instances or the proximity of the sublime to the ridiculous, you may, perhaps, appreciate the humor of a little incident that occurred in our city a few iays ago. A young friend of ours-who shall be nameless-a matchless wag and punster, and gifled with the keenest relish for fun of every description, be. barne ardently enamoured of a delicate lilond young lady, the daughter of a heavy Grocer residing on Euclid htreet. 'They met, 'twas at a ball,' ptnd at the close of a short waltz he found himself fairly spotted through the heart-done for. 'Pooh!' said Ite, when he retturned hoime, 'all gamnoin! I've laughed at such nonsense all my life-time. This milk and water gentiment. Love, belongs to the 'Flats," #nd he bpened a favorite volume of Tom lood. It was of no use, though -the graceful form of Amelia 'blurred the lettered page.' flu retired to bed, And it delightly haunted him in his dreams. The next morning on reviewing his bonditidn, he concluded that matrimony would prove the only relief, and wiih the natural impetuosity of youth determined to declare his passion at once, especially, since the fair Amelia was plied with hosts of visitors, drawn thither by her own charms and the Inore resistless fascination of the paternal "hams and shoulders.' le Vlecided quickly, and the next evening saw him scrupulously attired cap a pic at the door of the Grocer's dwelling. One modest pull at the bell, and he was ushered in the presence of his ob rmer. She was alone, and the soft t sprang to her cheeks showed land lay.' 'She was 'dressed to kill in expectation, undoubtedly, of other visitors. By her side a tolerably big mastiff'--a family pet....an animal not well calculated to leave a good drs( impression, especially on the mind of our young friend, whlo had a pecu liar aversicn to the whole canine race. Smothering his antipathy, however, and knowing well the value of time, he ad vanced to ' the adored,' took tihe proffer ed chair, anid exchamnged thme ordinary commplimecnts of the evening-there was then an awkward pause. Our younlg friend knew no other topic but his burni. ina love, ho stammered, blushed, squinted at the ceiling, andl felt that he was making a fool of himself. Tfhings were comning to a crisis, and with one desperate summoning up of his courage, he flung himselfI literally at the charm. er's feet. 'Mv dear A melia,' he cried, seizing her passiontately by' the han.], ' how can I tell you of my love, the rapture that [Ibfel in your presence, whdle I bow--' ' Bow w-ow ! bow wow !' roa red Ihe huge mastiff, rushing fiercely ump and teatchming the ' lover' by the leg. Our young fie~nd sprang to his feet, and mad with rage anmd confuioin, planted a heavy bo-.t in the intrtuder's ribs, and sent himt yelpiung across the room. A melia shrieked - the huge dog recovered himsel f anid bounded forward for a second attack. It is quite nteedl. less to say that our young friend left the rooam instanutly. Hie now hates the wonmon as badly as the d"niion~ bow Wows /-CV/ec/and Plain Dealer. A bout the year I795 Colonel Burr Wvas owner of nearly one-fourth of a block fronting Nassau, Cedar and Lib). erty streets, anmd Broadway. ie was an eminent lawyer, wvithm an ext-nsive pract ine. I was informued by one of thme profession that his practice at one pC. riod wvas worth ten thousand dollars a year. I used freqnently to sit on juries in thme old City Hall'(now the site of the custom house) w hen Hamilton and Humrr wvere the opposinig counisel. Tlhmey were both acute lawyers and elognent speakers. A remarkable incident ,took place one day. They weore trying the validity of a will. Hamilton having the will ini his hand, happened to hold it between thme windon' and hits eyes. Ho rose, and prayed the court 'to stay the proceedings, and, handmng the will up to the judge, (I think it wvas Brockholst Livingston,) remnarked: "If the court please, '1here ia witness from Heaven that widl act this matter at rest. I-f the court please, hold the Instrument so as to look through the paper. The water mark is dated five years after he .was dead.' Of course a verdict for the defendant was given at once. In the year 1.800 Colonel Hut r was elected to the office of Vice-President of the United States. On the 1lith of July,.1803, ho retired from p)olitical lifo. 'Tha fatal termination of the duel Wvith Hamilton, and thme verdict of'wilful iuider rendered by the coroner's jury oatused luau to obsent-himself from- this part of the country. le iravoll-d through Iho Southern and Western States, for the puirpose of getting up an expedition ngninst Nlexico, for which lie wits trieel for high treason.
