V : -4:(1111.1 Io MANCE OF REAL LI'E. "Married on Tuesday, by the Rev. Wm. Ash, Thomas illowitt to Charlotte Conroy, both of: his city." The above marriage was consummn ted in this city on la-t Tuesday week, and thereby hangs a tale which may be worth the attention of the lovers of the marvel lous. Mr. Mowilt is a respetable boss shoemaker, who keeps several men cm ployed, and amona the rest was one nam e .1 ohn Pelsing. who had ingratiated him selfso tmuch in his favor by his faithful nes<, industry aid sobriety, that he took him in partnersltip about three years since, nnd had no enuse to rearet his kitidness. From that periol Mr. Mowitt and Alr. Pel sing were constant friendsand companions, attd lhoordled in the satme house nntil about 12 mnilhi since, when one day they were subprrned fora coroner's inquest, which was about to he held on the body of a man that had beeni aken ot of Maiden Lane dock. Thlie dereased had all the appear nince of hiaving been a regular dock loafer, and it was tHi opinion of all present that ie iad falen into the slip while in a state of intoxication; hut the verdict-which was Liven in a few minutues-was merely .lentnd drownel." The juiry% beig dlktnimicsd, Mr. Al. tur ned round to look hi is fr-iend and fellow juror, who had heeti at his side till that tmonent, but lie was aone; and lie thought ie saw him running i amost fidl speed up .laiden Lanie. Thi struck him as he in ejrions; nod it alko reminded hini of anoilher enriots litet, (tt least curious as taken in conneetion witi his sudden flight) t:inmelv. that when Mr. Pelsing had Srst Ilanrced at the face of the corpse, lie star ted. and irn li deadly :pa14. Mr. M. then proceedit) hi- boardliti house, at(] then-e Ill li< stiore. to look for his partner, but he was to lie found at neither; nor did he re intrn that night t or tthe next; nor the next; aid two nIwnths passed away without lringing any intelligence of him, during which tnie M1r. Mowitt had fully made up his mind ilint there was some inysterions continetiiin between hi- friend and the man that was fotnd drowneil. and that in conse gienec t hereof..\r. Pelsing had it all prob ability imiade ay with h-imc"lf. Well. so nianter daV in last June. whi .Mowitt's store, and ! !:e She was told the partiet..

"What proof have you of it," inqirel the <hoemaker. "The hest in the world," replieid the stranaer, "for I atm here, rind I arind Mr. Pelsing are one and the same person." And strange as it may appear, such was the nctual fnet. Well. ire q uestion then was, whether Mr. Pekiig was n; .eurletnn or a laily, tnd it turn-ed out that she was a lady, aid more than thnt, her name wasn't John Pelsinga at all, but Charlotte Conroy, and furthermore, that she was the widow of the man that had httn found drowned. She then stated1 thnt ler itisband, who was a shoemaker in Philtdelphia, anrd to whom she iad hen married for about 2 years, hald treted her very badly, the conseiinenc of which was thr:1 she picked up his trade liv s .tlib rd whei she thonulht she was -illitieitdy perlert, elipped herself in ietn's cloiites. n1 ran ofilo this city to be mire -a fv on it o tie rech o' her lr;rd and master. lIire.ns we have seen, she got imo, thre employmeni'tt attd rerma~inted itn the of thne orotter's itnnest inmmediiately aftet wIch she p~rocLeeed to Phtiladrelphian, liere she leartied that her httsband.

Efects of State Debt upon Emigration. Among all the other evils entailed upon some of the new States by the immense dehts which they have so heedlessly con tracted, is one which is just beginning to command attention, and whidh cannot be otherwise than disastrous to the prospects of those States. The thousands of emi grants who are every year seeking new homes in the unsettled regions of the west, are beginning to hear the frightful sound of taxation. They are discovering the en cumthrances which will rest upon their' farms, and their " log cabins," 11 they pur chase in the States of Illinois or Indiana. They see that their title will not be alto eeth er free, but that there is a heavy ground rent to be paid yearly by them and their posterity, or else that they will suffer the reproach or residing in dishonored and bakrupt States. The consequence will be that the troops of settlers will turn to the right and the lefi to avoid those States, or will press on beyond them, and penetrate those wilds which are yet free, and over which the ill >mened bird of a corrupt and inflated cre' rlit system of debt and taxation has nor yet spread her dreadful winag. The ind'ebted Stites will thus find that all their splendid schemes of internal improvement, the glo ries of which have been chaunted in such trnins by the speculators, will not go one mlf so far in wooing settlers upon their nods, as the harsh sounds of debt and tax ition will in driving them of. This shouldi 10 a forcible example to the other new tates to avoid the pit into which their' ecighbors have fallen. When will the vorld learn all the miseries and mischief vhich flowfrom debts, either public or pri eate.-Sun. A singular Case.-A man in Lewvstown supposed to have died from over eat and drinking, and from awkwardness' ..ting him in the coffin, which had _n procured, he was suffered to fall on Phle Ploonit. rhel K 8tC1ad~b enee~ knock life into him, for he immediately rose to enquire what they were about. He has refused to pny the funeral expenses, and the elin maker and others [have brought sttit against him for their bills. This will he a new ease hardly to be fouud in the books.-Pitbburg Amer. "TIndisputahly, the firm believers in the Gospel have a great' Advantage over al others-f' r this simple reason, that if true, they will have their reward hereafter; and if tiere he no hereafter, they can be but with the infidel in his eternal sleep, having had the as-istance of an exalted hope through life, without subsequent disap pointmnent-since out of nothing, can arise not even sorrow." A Town for Shoes.-Tbs town of Sioughton, in Norfolk county, Mass., and only sevetneen miles from Boston, is quite elebrated for the manufacture of boots and shoes. The Boston Times states that there are very few families in town who arc net engaged in the business. The fe males as in the towny of Lynn, noted for ladies' shoes, perform much of the labor, fmishing entirely the uvpper part of tho' hoot. In thte year 1837 there were 174,900 pair of hoots, and 53,250i pairs of shoes mnufacturedl in Stotughton-valued at' 47,400). This speaks well for thve indus try in a town coniaihving [not more tha' 2,00 inhabitants. 11'ho s a Gent/i man.-Coteridge ini his "Table Talk,"' thus describes ai gentle tian :--Whoever is open, generous and4 true; whoever is or humane and affable dmttcntotr; whoeve~r is honorable in him self, and candid in his judgement of others and requiires no la w butt hiis work to make nnd fulfil an ena:nmnt; such a man is a gentleman nd such a man may be found' among the tillers of the earth." How to Instruct.-Poutr in knowledge gently.

Cayenne Pepper Sawo Dust.-The St. Louis Bulle-tinr says: "A gentiman of this city brought vvs a bottle containing a quan tity of bay wood saw dust, which he hade bought for Cayenne pepper. rTe dust is so near the color of real Cayenne that the' best of Judges would be deceived. To render the deception still moro certain, a stall sprinkling of Cayenne is found upon the top of the counterfeit. This heats wooden nutmnegs and wooden hams" all hollr."
