I'arton's half-way championship of his haractor has stimulutcrl HCVftrnl v>m*snr?a f<~> till luorc ail venturous undertakings in the ainc direction. Burr's profligacy has always been considered beyond dispute, lie ias had the reputation, universally, of havng compromised more women in society ban any other man of his time, and tho tatcmcnt of bin first and most confidential tiographer, Matthew 11. Davis, that he left ichind him great quantities of diuiaging etters from thc.sc ladies, has kept the wholo ountry in a quivering state of curiosity nd indignation ever since. But it is now boldly denied that any such titters vrcio over in existence. Burr's Inst j riend,thc lady with whom ho lived at tho lose of his life, has stated that she read leurly all his correspondence, and that there fas nothing in it to bring a blush to the heck of any person; and tho venerable fudge Kdwarcts, who was for many years ?urr\s intimate friend, now writes a letter, tatirtg that Burr himself assured hiril that here were uo lettei*s in his collection which rould compromise or injure the reputation f any lady living. It would bo curious if, after all, Uuvr hould be acquitted of the offcnocs which lave heaped ho much odium upon his head, t is protty generally conceded now that lis political crimes, which led to his trial or treason then, would probably have made lim President if he had lived fifty years ator?and it is by no means impossible that , similar revolution may take place in the niblic judgment of his personal and social haraqter.

It would be difficult to conceive of two niftti presenting a greater contrast in per- i sonal appearance, than Mr. Marshall and M r. Stephens. Tho. Hon. Kcntuckian is tho very picture of what good living, good humor and an easy conscience, can innkc a man.

He never speaks merely for cflVct.? When he addresses the llouso it is for the purpose, of elucidating the subject before it, and ?io Invariably does it. His reasoning is close and cogent?bis language is chaste and forcible, and his tntonation is particularly clear and distinct. Elides all this, ins manner of speaking is entirely his own. When he rises from his seat, lie generally thrusts his hands deep in his pockets, and with his head turned to one side so that he looks at the chair out of the corners of his eyes, lie brings his words out with a jerk. Yesterday, during his argument, he asked the clerk to read certain documents, and while the reading was going on he stood like a statue. When tho clerk reached a period, quick and sharp as lightning, Stephens exclaimed, "Stop ! I want to call at tout ion to what has been read."

A BlJCKKYK OiMNlON OF DANCING IN Wasii i notgm .?A Washington coricspondent of the Cleveland IMa'm Dealer thus writes in relation to the late festival at the house of Senator Douglas, at Washington. 11e says : The entertainment, consisted of dancing, eating, talking nnd laughing?each one doin^ well their part. The dancing in Washington is peculiar; as in New York, the lij^ncior Quadrilles aro all the go.

There is considerable bowing in it, requiring a peculiar kind of inn.'dc?otherwise it resembles the well known Caledonian Quadrille. But the fancy, donees hero are horrible; there is neither grace nor gentility in thorn ; the poetry of motion is lost in the ferocity of action; aconplo grapple with each other, as if Wrestling, and turn and trip, and trip and turn, like amateur gladiators.

St- Valentino's Day. It is not necessary to remind our readers, our frt'r readers, that the 14th will he St. Valentine's day, and no doubt a goodly portion of the time between now and then will be devoted by bis admirers to his especial use and service. Tho observance of this dnv is nnn <> ' thusn ol<l 'rumi/niiM w5fl? which every ooo has some memory connected, either amusing or sentimental; and, although much abused these latter year,- still appeals in so many natural feelings and sympathies, th:it it would bo like blotting out the memory of an old friend, to refuse it a place in our heart's calendar. It is not known how this .custom originated, some say St. Valentino was a benevolent old monk, who used to write all the love letters for the young men and maidens j 10 wnoin no was spiritual ami temporal advisor. After his death they canonized him, and the young people, who idolized him, vised to carry flowers to his tombstone and gifts to the Virgin to propitiate her in his ' favor. Not that there was any necessity for that, for if the Virgin was a woman she must have been favorably inclined towards a man who, in those barbarous times, dovoted himself wholly to the work of cultivating love among her fellow creatures.? At any rate it is known that in the Romish Church, J>t. Valentino's day was observed by making presents to one's dearest friends, and even now many persons make a Valentino the pretension for a costly gift. The English practice, however, always preserved a primitive simplicity, peasant girls steal out after night-fall, just as they did fivo hundred years ago, shovo the loving missive under the door, shy back to their cottage homes, like frightened deer, and wait with boating hearts for a glimpse of the white paper, which would tell that more than 0110 nocturnal visit had been made. Occasionally the slow old postman brought the anxiously looked for epistle, and thus the two pence had to be searched for in all the broken tea cups in the corner cupboard, before the poor girl could commence spoiling out the t's and the- i's and the w's, which conveyed such precious information ' to hor. For in those days, Valentines, tho' | rudely scratched on coarse paper, possessed ! a quality which few of the most costly can boast now-a-days. Indeed, the more finely thcy arc gilt, the less likely arc they to f 03sess it, and that is?truth, sincerity. It would have been considered desecration to have profaned that day by addressing words of love to any other person than the one most dear, and tho idea of sending a dozen to as many different gu Iff, as some of our fast young men do, could not have entered into their simple imaginations. Of course, when tho habit of truthfulness is lost, the gratification of some of the smaller vices soon follows, and thus origiuat- j cd tho demand for tho so:callod "comic" I Valentines, but which are simply carrica- j lures by which the sender/* manifest a certain amount of spite, or ill-will, which they are too cowardly to cxpnwe in any other.?So great a nuisance have they become, that in many families, the daughters arc forbidden to receive Valentines or send them, and many persons refuse to talce tlicm out, and thus an old time honored custom is in dangor of falling into disuse and disrepute from the malicious disposition of a few in- j dividuals.

The hoods of the families consumed thr? hulk of the time in annoying each othor, and the children ou both sides, with two axeeptions, inherited their parent's hatred, and lotft mo opportunity of gratifying it. Those exceptions weVc the oldest son of tho one, and tlic second daughter of tho other, who, seeing no reason why they should lmto each othor in iinitntion ofthoir parents, became desperately enamored. The parents soon discovered now matters stood, and of course were enraged. John and .'Mary were both severely reprimanded, and charged particularly to think no more of each other.? Hut who over hoard of such a charge being obeyed ? Tho more they were told not to,tho more they did. Seeing that easy metuntrcs would not answer, the parents of John sent hint toon uncle in tho country. Mnry'upro gen i tors locked her up for a week to keep hor from following him. Ono night in iNoveinber last, the whole fam ily joined in reviling and abusing her. $ot a word did she say in reply, but her ashv faco llll.l a 1 i rw .1,n.v?.l was brewing.

She knew where John was, and alio determined to retiuh him. Uy daylight, she hyd achieved ten miles. At a farm house she procured broakfast, and making inquiries, set out again. Dfty after day sho traveled, eating ami sleeping at farm house *. Occasionally,, a cliariubio waggoner would carry her a few mili'S, and then again for <m\-M she was obliged to walk. Finally, completely worn out she arrived at her destination. Sho found John, told him her troubles und trials, and put herself under his protection. John, like a sonsible man. posted to Ilucyrus. got out papers and married her off-hand. To end tho story as liljtitious ones arc always concluded, thoy should lm>e gone back, fallen on their knees and implored the forgiveness of their parents.? Hut neither of them were romantic. They felt that thoy had dono nothing to lie forgiven for, and had no particular dosiro to see the. faces ofthose who had abused them.
