Her eyes were gray, and looked serene Upon her favored suiter. i That suiter was a jolly youth, So nimble, lithe and brawny, The yellow fever took bim off Away to Californy. And when I heard that he was gone, j "It's now," said I "ornever?" I shav'd myself and grenscd my shoes And tried to look right clever. I rigged myself from top to toe And caught and mounted Dobbin, But all the way I rode along My heart it kept a tbrobbin'. And when I reached her daddy's house, It still kept up a thumpin', But when I saw the lovely maid It kinder stopped a jompin'. 'Twas half-past ten, whenat her feet I knelt, and yet, ere dinner, With honeyed speech and winning ways, I had contrived to win hee. 11 ' eke. rloTT Some montn? eiapseu?m act. mc I now began to press ber : I urged, cutreated, plead in vain? In vain did I cares* her. While matter? were thus cross and pile, My clothes all growing seedy, My rival from the mine? returned, Still for Miss Sukey greedy. I saw him kinder sidle up And slip his arm around her When, heaven and earth ! she let him kiss Them precious lips! Confound her! I told her that I was surprised? My eyes had sure deceived me? And asked her to renew hev vows, And from suspense relieve me. When, don't you think, the tarnal gal, Her thumb up to her smeller, Her fingers wriggled, as she said? 44 Can't come it, little feller." HOW TO BEHAVE IN CHURCH. The Schenectady Star gives the following hints on church etiquette : For Gentlemen.?Fancy, upon opening the door, that every body will look at you aud bear yourself bravely till you get to your seat. Theu pass your baud over your hair to see if the hour's labor that you spent on it has not been in vain, then take a good long stare over the congregation to see who is there. If you chew tobacco, blaze away in the seat behind, if unoccupied, or else let drive at your neighbor's patent leather.? Scratch your name on the back of the front seat, with the likeness of a one-eyed hippogrifl'; stare frequently at the pretty looking girl behind you, and if possible send her a note assuring her that she has the prettiest hand or the most exquisite eye of blue this side of Paradise. After having exhausted all reasonable amusements you may shut your eyes, open your mouth, and favor the congregation with an extempore snore. After the service is over, do the agreeable, if possible, to some divinity j there-after write yourself a brick. For Young Ladies.?Spend four hours in tixiug out before starting, for it is every young lady's duty to look pretty, bearing in mind that ladies were created for the especial purpose of being worshipped by gcutlemen, and attracting their unqualified admi-1 ration. Step daintily and gracefully up the ! aisle, seat yourscif, straighten up, seat yourself again, and repeat this six consecutive times. Pull the outer garment a little way over the left shoulder, then back on the right, and after doing this a few times leave it where you found it. Straighten down your collar, j then straighten it up, pull out a highly per-! famed pocket tiandkercmei, pass it over your lips and return it, smoothc down both sides of your dress, and thrust the toe of your exquisite foot n little out, and then after rising up and sitting down again, you will be prepared for further developments. Being properly fixed, you will rise up again and ait down, and then, after rising up and sitting down once, it would be well to repeat it. If the gentleman in front sends you a , note, hide it under your prayerbook, or fan, j and read it when he is not looking ; you need pay no particular attention to the preaching; i that will be for the benefit of sinners. If: you have blue eyes, turn theni upwards once j in a while, if black, partly close- the lids and | look dreamy. It there is a gentleman at j church you particularly fancy, don't look ; but once at him and then drop your glance immediately* After church dou't accept a j gentleman's company unless he proffers it, j and let your judgment guide you thereafter, j WATCH YOUR TONGUE. People are often subjected to extreme mortification by indulging iu disparaging re-; marks of strangers, and learning subsequent-1 ly that the persons themselves, or some of' their intimate friends were within hearing of the remarks Such unpleasant occurrences rarely have so pleasant a termination a? the following singular recounter between Dr Dwigbt and Mr. Dennie: As Dr. Dwight was travelling through New Jersey, he chanced to stop at a stage j hotel, in one of its populous towns for the j night. At a late hour of the panic, arrived also at the inn, !Mr. Denriie, who had the ; misfortune to learn from the landlord that ' the beds were all paired with lodgers, except one occupied by the celebrated Dr. Dwight. ''Show me to his apartment," exclaimed Dennie; "although 1 am a stranger; to the R^v. Doctor, perhaps 1 can bargain i with him for my lodgings." The landlord /wniflincrk* awaited on him to the Doctor's - r-'j - room, and there left him to introduce him- S self. The Doctor, although in his night i gown, cap and slippers, and just ready to j resign himself to the refreshing arms of Somnus, politely requested rho strange intra der to be seated. The Doctor was struck : with the literary physiognomy of his companion, unbent his austere brow, aud com-, meueed a literary conversation. The names of Washington, Franklin, Ritteuhouse, aud a host of literary aud distinguished oharac-. ters, for some time gave zest and interest to j their conversation, until Dwight chanced to ! mention the name of Dcnnie. "Dennie, the editor of the Portfolio, (says the Doctor, in a rhapsody) is the Addison of the United States?the father of American Belles Letters. Put, sir," continued he, 'ds I it not astonishing that a man of such genius, fancy and feeling, should abandon himself to the inebriate bowl, and to bacchanalian revels?" ' Sir," said Dennie, ' [ have been inti-! matelv acquainted with Dcnnie for several years, and I never knew nor saw him intoxicated." "Sir," said the I'octor, "you err; I have my information from a particular frieud; I am contidcut I am ri?rht, at id you arc wrong." Dennic now ingeniously turned the conversation to the clergy, remarking that Doc toAbercrombie and Mason were among 5 the most distinguished divines; nevertbe- i less, he considered Dr. Dwight, President of i 1 Yale college, the most learned theologian? 1 i the first logician?and the greatest poet j i America has ever produced. "But, sir," |1 continued Dennie, "there are traits in his 11 character undeserving so great and wise a ] mau of the most detestable description?he : is the greatest bigot and dogmatist of the age!" 11 "Sir," said the Doctor, "you are grossly mistaken. I am intimately acquainted with Dr. Dwight, and I know to the contrary." "Sir," says Dennie, "you are mistaken. I have it from an intimate acquaintance of of his, whom I am confident would not tell me an untruth." "No more slander," says the Doctor, "I am Dr. Dwight of whom you speak I" "And I too," exclaimed Dennie, "am Mr. Dpnnift nf whom vou snoke !" *""" tf r The astonishment of Dr. Dwight may be | better imagined than told. Suffice it to say, they mutually shook hands, and were extremely happy in each other's acquaintance. A DOCTOR'S LIFE. The following are some of the sweets of a doctors' life. If he visits a few of his customers when they are well, it is to get his dinner; if he don't do so, it is because he cares more about the fleece than the flock. If he goes to church regularly, it is because he has nothing else to do; if he don't go, it is because he has no respect for the Sabbath or religion. If he speaks to a poor person, he keeps bad company ; if he passes them by, he is bettor than other folks. If he has a good carriage, he is extravagant; if he uses a poor one on the score of economy, he is deficient in necessary pride. If he makes parties, it is to soft-soap the people to get their money; if he don't make them, he is afraid of a cent! If his horse is fat, it is because he haB nothing to do; if he is lean, it is because he isn't taken care of. If he drives fast, it is to make people think somebody is very sick; if he drives slow, he has no interest in the welfare of his patients. If he dresses neat, he is proud ; if he does not, he is wanting in self respect. If he works on the land, he is fit for nothing but a farmer; if he don't work, it is because he is too lazy to be anything. If he talks much, "we don't want a doctor to tell everything he knows;" if he don't talk, "ire like to see a doctor social.1' If he says anything about politics, he had better let it alone; if he don't say anything about it, "we like to see a man show his colors." If he TMoifti tijo ndtiontc r.vprv flnv. it is to l'Un UD ...-.Vt, f,.... J J, t .1 bill; if he don't, it is unjustifiable negli- | genee. If he says anything about religion, he is a hypocrite ; if he dou't, he is an infidel. If he uses any popular remedies of the day, if is to cater to the whims and prejudices of the people to fill his pockets ; if he don't use them, it is from professional selfishness. If he is in the habit of having counsel often, it is because he knows nothing ; if he objects to having it on the ground that he understands his own business, he is afraid of exposing his ignorance to his superiors. If he gets pay for one-half his services, he has the reputation of being a great manager. "Who wouldn't be an M. P.? Xashvilfc Journal of Medicine. One day, at a fashionable dinner party, there happened to be a son of Hibernia present. In the course of the conversation he made a bull very naturally, at which the company very good naturedly laughed. ''My dear fellow," said the host, "make no apology. We all know your natural privilege of speaking twice." "Oh," returned he, "don't be uneasy at all; surely I know my privilege, and I mean to retain it; but even here,ns in everything else, you English have the advantage over poor Paddy." "How so ?" enquired the host. "Why, you sen," said the young Hibernian ; with a serious drollery that would not have disgraced Tyron Power, "that an Irishman is only allowed to speak twice, but by faith, you English i re allowed to speak until }/ov are understood. ? r- . i....... ^ l Jiviintactuii was uiuiug at a nuiei, a few weeks, ago, while tho New Vork Legislature was sitting where man)' of the membere were boarding.

A Grammatical Pupil.?A School mas- | ter, after giving one of his scholars a sound 1 drubbing for speaking bad grammar, sent j him to the other end of the room to inform another boy that he wished to speak to him, ( and, at the same time, promising in repeat the dose if he spoke to him ungraminatical'y . t The youngster, quite satisfied with what, he had got, determined to be exact, and j thus addressed his fellow pupil:? "There is a common substantive, of the , masculine gender, singular number, nominative case, and in an augry mood, that sits j perched upon the eminence at the other side j of the room, wishes to articulate a few sen- ' teuces to you in the present tense."

Thk German for Plate?"Good gra cious, Anna, what is the German for a plate ?" "Teller," I replied, leaning over the stair, j "Tell her what?" returned my aunt, not; supposing that she had heard aright. "Teller," T answered back at the top of my [ voice. "How cau I tell her, unless you tell me what to tell her?" she retorted in a tone that j betokened she was gradually becoming heated, and, indeed, the weather was sultry. "Can't you hear me tell you to tell her \ teller?" "That'sjust what I want to do: but how can I tell her unless T know what to tell her?" I was laughing so heartily that I could i only shout out, "Tell her, teller." But fear- i ing that my aunt might become exasperated, I ran down stairs, and for her edification uttered the magic word. Of course, the desired plate was produced, to her great amazement; but she good naturedly joined in ray unrepressed merriment.?Autobiography of an Actress. More than a Match.?A Scotch far-! mer, celebrated in his neighborhood for his | immense strength and skill in the athletic i exercises, very frequently had the pleasure j of fighting people who came to try if they j could settle him or not. Lord D., a great j pugilistic amateur, had come from London j on purpose to fight the athletic Scot. The ; latter was walking in an enclosure, at a lit- i tie distance from his house, when the noble ! Lord arrived. His lordship tied his horse j to a tree and addressed the farmer : "Friend, T have heard a great deal of talk j about you, and I have came* long way to , see which of us is the best wrestler." The Scotchman, without answering, seized j the nobleman by the middle of the body, I pitched him over the hedge, and then set j about working. When his lordship had got himself fairly picked up,? "Well," said the farmer, "have you any j thing more to say to me ?" "No," replied his lordship ; "but perhaps ; you'd be so good as to throw me my horse." i . ? ?? ?? ? - - An exchange paper, the editor of | which, no doubt, lately "set up" with a wid- . ow, goes off thus : "For the other half of a courting match j there is nothing like an interesting widow.

INDIAN CORN MEAL. It is said that more people would eat corn bread if they knew how to cook it. An "experienced housekeeper" has furnished us with some good receipts, which we commend to unexperienced housekeepers. A bushel of corn contains more nutriment than a bushel of wheat. The latter is not generally considered fit to eat unless ground very fine and bolted. It is a mistake, however. Indian corn treated in tBc same way is nearly spoiled It never should be ground fine. Let that be remembered. Fine meal may be eaten when fresh ground, but it will not keep sweet. The broken oil globules become rancid and bitter. Corn Cakes, made of meal and water with a little salt, mixed into a stiff dough very thoroughly, and baked on a board, before a hot fire, or in a hot oven, or iu little cakes on a griddle, till entirely done, are very sweet, wholesome food. Corn and Wheat Bread is wholesome and nutritious, and easily made, if you kuow how. Stir two tea-cupfuls of white meal in a pint of hot water for each loaf; free it of lumps, and let it stand twenty-four hours.? Boil two or three potatoes, peel and slice, and mash it in a pint of water, which thicken with flour till it is stiff batter, and then add half a tea-cupful of baker's yeast.? You will use about one-third as much meal, scalded as above, as you do of flour; knead the meal and yeast, and sponge, and add a little salt with the flour all together, and work it well, and mould in pans to rise moderately, and then bake, at first, in a hot oven. This bread will be moist, and more nutritious and more healthy than if it were all flour. Buckwheat Cakes are improved by adding corn meal, prepared in the same way, in about the same proportion as for bread. A little wheat flour maybe added to advantage. Don't let your batter over-rise and sour, and never use saleratus if it does. Corn Meal Pudding may be made of yellow meal stirred into scalded milk till as thick as gruel, and, when cooled, add ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and sweetening to suit the taste, and a little fine-cut suet, and some raisins, or dried peaches, or a fine-cut apple. It should bake an hour or more?according to the size. You who do not believe anything made of corn can be good, will please try this receipt Ibr a pudding.?A'. Y Tribune. . .. -?? ? ? TALES AND NOVELS. (!corge W. Curtis recently delivered a lecture, on literature, in which he took occasion to speak in the following terms on fiction : Objection to fieture is objection to the most instinctive play of the human mind.? Fiction is no more to be explained or defended than the sunset or the rose. If anybody objects to novels in the abstract, he objects to man. It is no more waste ot time to read a good novels than to read a good poem, or look at a fine sunset, or yield to a noble instinct. I have heard sad-eyed clergymen v i- .... ....,.U t,. puuueiy ueuuunce ucuuu u? jiuu iu juuug nieu, and then preach croaking sermons on the parables. Hut Sir Walter Scott himself could belie his art. He says:?We arc inclined to think that the worst evil to be apprehended from the persual of novels is, that the habit is apt to engender a distaste lor real history or useful literature, &c.'? But is it to be supposed that Scott sincerely bcliev * that mankind were to be more improved by reading the real history of Messaliua or Cleopatra, or of Catharine, than by reading the history of BebeecaBid he prefer as a moralist that his daughters should read the memoirs of the J Hie do (Irani Mont, or Charles the Second, or any other King, rather than the fictitious history of Sir Roger de Coverly ? Bid he not know that the excellence of a novel is the excellence of nature, or any other great work of art, and that his own Jennie Beans is as real in herself and as influential on the human mind as Judith or Queen Elizabeth ? All history be- ; conies fiction in the advance of time. IIow many characters have wc of Oliver ; Cromwell, and which arc wc to accept as ; j the true one ? Probably history is less true j to nature, on the whole, than fiction. Clio ! is such a high-stepping muse that she goes f over just what we want to kuow. Personal 1 memoirs, which approach much nearer to fiction in their nature, always charm and in-: struct us. There is no doubt that the history of Robinson Crusoe would help a boy on his way through life much better than any his- , tory of Oliver Cromwell. Gooducss is never imaginative. History and fictiou arc only two ways of putting a fact. We are just as sorry to see Toga succeed as to see Leonidas fall. For us, both Iago and Leonidas arc real men. Tlif* rrronf 'ivtiw + a rlonru ftiaii* nff hllfr. tnA ' i art remains. What a man does seems in-j j significant to himself, because his best work ^ he does inose easily. Raphael paints the : c I Transfiguration, but envies the shoe-maker's | | skill. The great artists decry their art, but, 1 I say, their art remains. And whether it be painting, or poetry, or sculpture, or music, i or fiction, its purpose is still the purpose of; j all art?the moral education of the r^ce. I ( What Constitutes A Gentleman.? 'i How many various ideas we have of a gen- j < , tleman ! Every person aims to become a gen- ( tleman, and there is no one but would re- j < i gard it as an insult to be told he wa3 not.? , : Every one, therefore, is a gentleman in his j, own way. Some think dress is the only re- i ' quisite; some wealth, regardless of dress, j' ! mind or manners. Wealth is doubtless the J i greatest sine qua non of gentility in our days, i | | A perfect boor is transformed into a gentle-1 ; man by its magic power; his power admits ' i him at once into the most refined (?) circles, , ( ! and amongst the highest classes. He ap- i pears with bold assurance where genius and ,1 true merit dare not come. But after all, is |; he the real gentleman. The poor scholar who racks his brain to earn his bread?the artist, whose struggling j genius earns him a bare subsistence? the , ; teacher, whose miserable pittance but just; ! buys bread enough to satisfy the clamorous j j appetites of half a dozen children, cannot of, ! course, be erentlemen ! These are the servants 1 / O i of the wealthy, and an insurmountable bar-! 1 rier keeps them away from the real gentle, man, and walls them up in their own little circle, their proper sphere. We don't all think so, however?thanks ; to American common sense ! There are ' I some gentlemen in the world that money never made, and a few that wealth never exalted to such a dizzy height as to render 1 them completely oblivious of the fact that i they were yet frail human creatures, and liv- j ed in common brotherhood with the rest of i mankind. Gentility is not wealth ; it is not in dress, i nor genius, nor any other attribute of man, 1 unless it go hand in hand with a cheerful j disposition, an amiable temper and a philan- j thropic will. There are real bona fide gen- ! j tleman in all classes of society, and he is the j greatest gentleman who mingles with all, and remains untarnished. Real gentility is moral freedom; it respects no particular per- | son, as a class beyond their merits; it does not exclude one man because he is poor; but embracing all who are worthy, it regards them as kindred souls who should ever dwell harmonious together. This constitutes a gentleman.? Waverly Magazine. A country fellow came to the city to see j i his intended wife, and for a long time could | think of nothing to say.

PBOPOSALS FOR THE PUBLICATION OF "LECTURES 01 IE! IEITESTAMEIT." 1 BY REV. WM. C. DAVIS. THIS work is to be printed on good paper, in j plain type, well-bound in sheep, in four volumes super-royal octavo?each volume containing six or seven hundred pages; and will be furnished j to subscribers at TWO DOLLARS per volume, to ^ be paid to the Publisher's Agent on the delivery of the work. The publication will be put to press as soon as fifteen hundred copies are taken. Proposals have been printed, and placed in the hands of Agents, who will proceed to canvass for the workInasmuch as application for patronage will be made to the reading portion of the community in this and the adjoining Districts, justice alike to the 4k enterprise and to those who are asked to favor it, demands that some account be givon of its character. It is the work of a Divine of acknowledged talent and scholarship, of piety and success in-the Ministry; of one who devoted himself to the study of the Scriptures, and the preaching of the Gospel for upwards of forty years, with an assiduity so intense, as to preclude him almost entirely from the secular cores and pursuits, common to many in the sacred office. The voluminous productions of his pen thatnow lie in manuscript, besides his Lectures on the New Testament, bear testimony to the zeal and industry with which he prosecuted his Theological researches, until within a few years of his death. In the Lectures which we here recommend to the favorable regard of the public, the reader is presented with a harmony of the Four Gospels, a clear and consistent exposition of the Sacred Text, and a large number of Critical Notes and observations on obscure and difficult passages, and on important points in doctrinal Divinity. The grand design of the author evidently is, to assist his reader to acquire a sound and accurate understanding of the Mind of the Spirit, imparted in the Sacred Oracles, 4 whatever sacrifice of his own prepossessions, or J the prejudices of others, it may have cost him. M The style of the work is purely didactic?simpic and inornate?seeking rather to instruct, than to please the taste. Much, however, will be found ^ in the perusal of the Commentary, to delight the ^ earnest student of the Scriptures; but that pleasure will result, chiefly, from the unexpected and wonderful manifestations which are furnished, of the perfect harmony of all the parts in the grand scheme of salvation; their indissoluble connection, and their intimate dependency upon each other, from the eternal foundation, to the topmost stone in the imperishable edifice. The writer of this brief notice has given some portion of his time to the study of the Bible, and to the perusal of Commentaries and writings on Divinity, and he is constrained to acknowledge, that he feels much indebted, under Ood, to these Lectures, for the comfort and satisfaction with which he is enabled to read the New Testament Scriptures, especially the Epistolary portions of them. Persuaded that others may be equally profited, he takes pleasure in recommending the work to the favorable notice of his fellow Christians everywhere, and particularly to that of Ministers of the Qospcl, and Students in Divinity. While the plain and humble lover of the Bible will be furnished with a safe and familiar assistant to a correct knowledge of the precious part of Divine Revelation, on which these Lectures are written, and will find himself instructed, encouraged, and comforted in Christ, the Public Teacher of religious Truth will find in these volumes a treasure, from which he may draw largely, to the increase of his own spiritual wealth, the edification of the Church, and the salvation of souls. Feb. 18 9 tf fl THE WASHIN6T0N SPECTATOR, '' The spectator is printed in the Quarto form, on a double royal sheet of superior paper; and is devoted to belles lettres, and scientific and miscellaneous intelligence. The aim of the publisher is to make it a welcome visitor to ever household, where sound knowledge and correct moral sentiment can be appreciated.? With this view he eschews all the senseless twaddle, under the name of literature, which serves only to beguile idle moments; and strives to confine the matter of the SPECTATOR, to that which will leave useful impressions on the minds of its read ers. Besides a large weekly amount of matter appropriate to papers purely literary the SPECTATOR contains summaries of government doings in Congress and the Executive Departments; the important news of the day, foreign and domestic; reviews of finance and markets; notioes of new books, new discoveries in art and science; new inventions, including a weekly list of patents is- , sued from the Patent Office; rrtioles on education; on agriculture, business and domestic economy; and candid essays upon the leading topics of the. day. Though entertaining for themselves decided views on questions of political economy and relig- A ions belief, the editors do not purpose to give to M the paper a partizan or a sectarian character.? The discussion of these subjects they leave for papers established for such purpose. At the same time they reserve to theuiselve the right to expose hypocrisy, and to oppose bigotry and fanaticism in all forms; and of offering, when they deem occasion to require it, their opinions and reasons therefor on seperate questions involving the interests and vested rights of the people among whom we are located, without thereby subjecting themselves to a charge of violating any pledge. One of the editors (Mr. Hayne,) will remain for the present, and probable spend most of his time, at his residence in Charleston S. C., an arrangement we think, better enabling him to furnish matter of local interest to that section of the Union, and affording some convenience to our friends and those whom we hope to have for patrons, in that vicinity. THE SPECTATOR is published every Saturday, and furnished to subscribers by mail at the J following rates?payable in advance.

IN issuing the Prospectus of the twenty-second volume of the SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER, the Proprietors rely solely on the en! couraging letters and promises of the friends of ! the Messenger to aid them in extending its cir- ' | culation, and they beg to assure the public that no exertions will be remitted on their part to maini tain the high character of the work, and to challenge the patriotism of all who value sterling lit; ery merit. For Twenty-one years the Messenger I lias endeavored to reflect faithfully the Southern 1 ; mind, while disdaining all narrow and sectional : views, and has been alone among the monthly pe- i J riodicals of America in defence of the peculiar Institutions of the Southern States. To this of- 1 fice it will still be devoted, and will be prompt to A ; repel assaults upon the South, whether they come M . under the specious garb of fiction, or in the direct form of anti-slavery pamphlets. At this critical wk 1 juncture, while our enemies are employing litera| ture as their most potent weapons of attack, the j Southern people will surely not withhold their : encouragement from a work whose aim it shall be S j to strike blows in their defence. V The Messenger will, as heretofore, present its i3 ! readers with Reviews, Historical and Biographical wl i Sketches, Novels, Tales, Travels, Essays, Poems, ; Critiques, and Papers on the Amy, Navy, ami other National Subjects. J With a view to ensure a larger circulation of I I the Messenger, the Proprietors, though they in- " tend greatly increasing the size of the work, have A j reduced the Price of Subscription, which is now ^ ; only THREE DOLLARS PER ANNUM, IN AD, VANCE, or Four Dollars if not paid before the * nrsi 01 JUiy in any year.
