Caught in his oum Trap.?The editor
of the Albany Atlas translates
the following from the French:?"A
girl, young and pretty, but above all

f|iiiuu nun <111 nil Ul IUIIM UIIIU CHllllOr,
aiely presented herself before a certain
Parisian lawyer, (we translate
the inci( ent from tne French journals
for the benefit of our home-made attorneys*)
and thus addressed him:?
'Monsieur, I come to consult you upon
a grave attair. I want to oblige a
man I love to marry me in spite of
himself. How shall I proceed?' The
gentleman of the bar had, of course,
a sufficiently elastic conscience. He
reflected a moment; then, being sure
that no third person overheard him,
replied unhesitatingly?'Mademoiselle,
according to our law, you already
possess the means of forcing a
man to marry you. You must remain
on three occasions alone with
him; then youcanswer before a judge
that he is your lover.' 'And that
wi/l suffice, Monsieur?' u,*Yos, Mademoiselle,
with one further condition.1
Well?'?'That you will produce witnesses
who will make oath to their
having seen you remain a good quarter
of an hour with tl?? inrlivtrtunl cnirl
to have trifled with your affections/
4Very well, Alonsieur. I will retain
you a9 counsel in the management of
this affair. Good day.* A few days
afterwards, the young girl returned.
She is mysteriously received by the
lawyer, who, scarcely giving her
time to seat herseif, questions her
with the most lively curiosity. 'Well,
Mademoiselle, hew do matters pros- i
FcrV 'Oh! all goes on swimmingly,
have passed a half hour with my
intended. I have been seen to go up
stairs and come down again. I have
four witnesses who will affirm this
under oath.' 'Capital! capital' Persevere
in your design, Mademoiselle;
but mind, the next time you consult
me you must tell me the name of the
young man we are going to render
happy in spite of himself.' 'You shall
have it without fail.' A fortnight afterwards,
the young person, more
naive and candid than ever, knocked
discreetly at the door of her counsel's
room. No soon&r was she
within, than she flung herself hastily
into a chair, saying that she had
mounted the staira too r.midlv. nnd
that emotion made her breathless.
Her counsel endeavored to re-assure
her; and made her inhale salts, and
even proposed to unlace her garments.
'It is useless, Monsieur,1 said
she, 'I am much better.' 'Well,
now do tell me the name of the fortunate
mortal you are going to espouse?1
'Are you very impatient to

young beauty, bursting into a laugh.
*1 love you; 1 have been three times
tete-a-tete with you, and my four witnesses
are below, ready and willing
to accompany us to the magistrate's,'
ffravely continued the narrator. The
awyer, thus fairly caught, had the
good sense not to get angry. The
most singular fact ot all is, that he adores
his 3'oung wife, who, by the
way, makes an excellent housekeeper."
Decision of character is one of the
most important of human qualities,
philosophically considered. Specula
tion, knowledge, is not the chief end
of man; it is action. We may by a
fine education, learn to think most
correctly, and talk most beautifully;
but when it comes to action, if we
are weak and undecided, we are of
all beings the most wretched. All
mankind feel themselves weak, beset
with infirmities, and surrounded with
?i ii- - _ _ .
(.'.augers; me acuiesi minds are the
most conscious of difficulties and dangers.
They want, above all things,
a leader v. ith that boldness, decision,
and energy, which, wilh shame, they
do not find in themselves. 'Give us
the man,' shout the multitude, 'who
will step forward and take the responsibility.'
He is instantly the idol, the
lord, and the kin^ among men. He,
iwnt who w?u!u command among
his follows, must excel them more in
energy of wiii than in power of intellect?Bitmap.
Curiosity Governs the World.
?A clergyman once announced to
his people that he should preach to
young men; the pews of his church
were crowded wilh young ladies.?
He then announced a sorfnon to
young women; the church was throng
vu wiui uioHdciom. Jtie proclaimed
an address to children; and the fathers
and mothers, and what some call
"the dear middle aged people" were
out in force. He gave notice that
he should exhort sinners ; and had

Short Dresses.
Mrs. Bloomer, editor of the Lily,
Ims adopted the 'short dross and trow
sers,' .ind Rays in her paper of this j
morning, that many of the women in
that place, (Seneca Falls) oppose the i
change; others laugh; others still are
in favor; "and many have already adoptcd
the dress.M She closes the
article upon the subject as follows:
'Those who think we look queer,
would do well to look back a few
years, to the time when they wore
ten or fifteen pounds of petticoat and
bustle around the body, and balloons '
on their arms, and imagine which cut
the queerest figure, they or we. We
care not for the frowns ot over fastidious
gentlemen; we have those of bet
ter taste and less questionable morals
to sustains us. If men think they
would be confortable in long, heavy
skirts* let them put them 011?we have
no objection. We are more comforI
taMe without them, and so have left
them ofT We do nof~?hy we shall
wear this dress and no other, but we
shall wear it for a common dress; and
we hope it may become so fashiona
ble that we may wear it at all times,
and in all places, without being
thought singular. We have already
l.ecome so attache 1 to it it that w#
dislike chang to a short one.'
Napoleon's Coat of Mail.
Just before Napoleon set out for Belgium,
he sent for the cleverest artisan
of his class in Paris, and demanded
of hitfft whether he would engage
to make a coat of mail which
should be absolutely bullet-proof;
and that, if so, he might name his
own pricc for such n work. Hie
man engaged to make the desired
ll nllfllt'od ni-nnoi. 1

he named 18,000 francs as the price '
of it. The bargain was concluded,1
and in due time the work was produced,
and the artizan honored with
a second audience of the Emperor.
'Now, (said his imperial majesty) put
it on.1 The man did so. 'As I am
to stake my life on its efficacy, you
will, 1 suppose, have no objection to
do the same.' And he took a brace
of pistols prepared to discharge
one of them at the breast of the as
tonishcd artist. There was no re j
treating, however, and half dead with
fear, he s'ood the fire, and, to the infinite
creditof his work, with perfect
impunity. But the Emperor was not
content with one trial. He fired the
second pistol at the back of the artist,
aud afterwards discharged a
fowling piece at another part of him,
Bjth similar eflect. 4Well/ said the
mperor, 'you have produced a cap
ncii worn, uuuouuieaty. what is to
be the price of it?' Eighteen thousand
francs was named as the agreed
sum. 'There is an order for them,1
saici the Emperor, 'and here is another
for an equal sum, for the fright 1
have given you.1
A. D. 1812. Whiston predicted
that the comet would appear on
Wednesday, 4th Oct., at five minutes
past five in the morning, and
that the world would he destroyed
by fire, on the Friday following. His
reputation was high, and the comet
appeared. A number of persous got
in'o the boats and barges on the
Thames, thinking the water the safest
place. South Sea and India
stock fell. A captain of a Dutch ship
threw all his powder into the river,
that the shin might not be endantror
ed. At noon, after the comet had
appeared, it is said that more than
one hundred clergymen were ferried
over to Lambeth, to request that proEer
prayers might be prepared, there
eing none in the church service.

was one of the most inveterate
jokers of the early tirnec. One
of his iokes, which has never been
related in print, and never can be,
pernrps with much eiTeci; but we
win iry it. une mil as he was returning
from the Legislature on horse
back, as usual at that day, he was
hailed from a house by a garrulous
old maid, who had often annoyed
him with questions respecting; public
affairs.
J1 Well, Governor," said she, coming
out towards the road, "what
new laws have you paired at Montpelier,

"Well, one rather singular law
among the rest,11 he replied.
'vDew tell? Now-, what is it, Gov

"Why, that the wo,id an in each

shall be warranted a hu ibaud."
"Whoy, what I" said she, drawing
up her month t o the smallest compass,
"what a queer curios lor that is!"
"Yoe, but we havo passed another
that beats that?the woman who the

"Why, whart!" exclaimed the old
maid, instantly relaxing her mouth
and stretching it wider ? at every
syllable, "whart a remarkable law
I tii?t is?when does it come in force,
Governor?"
At this, the Governor put spurs to
his horse, and vanished.
The Winchester Independent tells
the following story:
Some time ago some little urchins
engaged at play about the Tunnel,
when they wandered near Jhe powder
magazine. They saw a quantity
of powder lying on the ground,
about the door, which had been care
I lessly scattered bv the hand in filling
[ t/ieir canisters; Mrtty concluded to
lmve some sport by putting fire to it.
Accordingly they scraped it all up in
a hea?, procured some fire, and one
of them was bold enough to apply it
to the powder, which flashed up in
ir.y little 'ellow's lace and burnt him
dreadfully. He was taken home,
his wound washed and dressed, after
which he wa? put to bed, suffering
much pain. The little boy was blind
and thought he would certainly die.
He called his mother to him, and asked:

A PETITION,
[ To be presented to the Legislature
of our State at its next sitting, and
to which the signatures of the citizens
of Pickens District are respectfully
solicited.]
To the Honorable the Senate and
House of Representatives:
The humble Petition of the undersigned,
citizens of Pickens District,
showeth to your Honorable body,
that Pickens District (extending East
and West, or from the Saluda to the
Tugaloo river, sixty miles, and North
and South, or from North Carolina
to the Anderson line thirty-fiv<j miles)
embraces within its limits an area of
Territory much more extensive than
that which is usually contained tvith
in the limits especially of a Judicial
District: Your Petitioners further beg
to he permitted to show to your Honorable
Body, that this great extent of
territory occasions much and serious
inconvenience?heightened by the peculiar
geographical and topographical
characteristics of the country?to
a large majority of th;j people of the
District, and to crave that you will
take into consideration the propriety
of Dividing the same into Two Judicial
Districts, to be called, the one
Calhoun, and the other Pickens, or
4 . L 1 ?
to uc ciineo ?y any oiner names
which to your Honorable 13ody shall
seem most meet and proper.
Your Petitioners also desire to suggest
the Keowee River as a suitable
line of Division, and to submit that
the territories included between the
Saluda and Keowee, and between
the Keowee arid Tugaloo, being respectively
of an average widin of
tlnrty miles, and in length varying
from thirty tofortv miles, and resnec
tively containing Twelve Hundred
Voters, are quite sufficient for the formation
of two Districts of convenient
and respectable size.
The extreme inconvenience arising
from its present unwieldy size* will
become apparent, when it is remetn
bered that the eastern a id western
borders are by far the most populous
parts of the District, and thai persons
residing on cither of these must pass
over twenty-five or thirty miles to
reach the Court House.
These difficulties and disadvantages
are still further heightened by the
unfortunate loeaiion of the Court
II ---I 1- L .
i louse, which uemg Hitunicd in llie
midst of a considerable extent of
rough and barren country, is approached
from no one point of the
District with ease or convenience.
These, and many other disadvantages,
arising from the same cause,
by preventing persons at a distance
' from settling amongst us, and thus occupying,
reclaiming and bringing into
market the many thousand acres
of tillable lands, which now lie waste
j and uncultivated around us, prevent
or delay the development of its resources,
and ffieatly retnrd the prosperity
of the District, while the whole
I Slate suffers a proportionate loss,
lrom the langor ami depression of
one ofitspj.rts. These causes have
also contributed to drive many of our
l?c-.st citi'/ens to hunt new homes in
the South and West, where their industry
would be trammelled witn less
_ I . I t f
tut wiiViJi.ii-urtr, ana urns. and ! om
these causes, while their energies
have lent additional impetus to the
rapid development of new States and
Territories, pure drops have been
drained from the lite-blood of our
State, and she has lost forever the
benefits of their labors and counsels
in peace, and in war of their strength
and activity.
It would be presumptuous were the
undersigned even to hint to your Honj
orabie Bo .iy what it so well understands,
viz: that?likely to be placed
111 <i iiuBuiu uiuiiKio 10 ine uenernj
Government, and surrounded by cold
friends if not secret enemies?it is the
t ue policy of the State, by fostering
the peculiar interests of tne various
parts of the community , to fender herself,
as far as may be, independent of
all foreign aid or extraneous assistance;
and no where i* the truth
more clearly comprehended than lis by
your honorable body, thai one great
siep towards tms desired indepeuclence
lias been taken* when by wise
ami impartial legislation the prosperity
of tne grain growing Districts has
been permanently secured.
Believing as ihey do. that by
acceding to their prayer you will great
ly advance the interests of the people
of Pickens District, and railing to;
mind the many occasions upon which
your nonorawe ncKiy has evinced
the liveliest interest in. the well-l>ciit?
