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

She was told the partiet..
"And hasn't lie been here
uirecL "Not sinee," reA
"I know - '.i:--h g.
not. I ussure Volt, an . . I
atiswerd Mr. Mowit. "But I am postve,
said the lady. "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

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

Phle Ploonit. rhel K 8tC1ad~b enee~
knock life into him, for he immediately

"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. Plato observed, that the minds of
cildren were like bottles with very nar
row mothts; if you attempted to fill theny
oo rapid ly,much knowledge was wasted,
litve received; whereas, with a small
stream, they were easily filled.- Those
who would makce young children prodigies
act as wisely as they who would pour a
pail of water into a pint measure.
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."
