I : f. N THE BASHFUL IIAN. The following st<?ry was published in one of the American annuals. Many of our renders, probably, Irave never seen it. It is one of the best stories, of the humorous kind, ever v* ritteu. It will bear repetition. As my object, is but to give a specimen of the numerous misfortunes that incesI santlv beset me the moment I appear in I ladies' society, I shall merely speak of [ those that befel me at the only dinner in Paris to which I was invited. Though ( laden with introductory letters, I never delivered another. I pass by the various efforts I made before I could muster sufficient resolution to deliver to Madame O. the one that procured for me, and a friend who came with me, the dinner in question. I pass I by my trepidation at the everlasting peal with which the bell responded to mv timid touch. Scarcely could I distinguish the Pwlez an Suisse over the porter's lodge, where probably Swiss never stood sinca its erection. I pass by several minor blunders; such as asking the porter to direct us to *' la chumbre de Madame" i moaning her drawing-room. Suffice it j to say, that my less nervous companion, dictionary in hand, boldly led the way; that having traversed a good number of, courts arid stairs, we at length arrived safely at an ante-room, where stood a ser- j vant before a pair of folding doors, which i he threw wide open, and announced us ! by a pair 0 names, that we should never have recognized as our own, had we met them elsewhere. Already agitated, and perspiring with | nervous trepidation, this ostentatious mode of entrance, so different from the republican simplicity to which I was ac- I customed. wa% a formidable trial to me. I My cheeks tingled, my knees trembled, and mv heart beat violently. I slunk silently behind my unabashed companion, and endeavored to gather sufficient courage to conceal the tremor that shook me like an ague-fit. Madame 0. rose to receive us; and, as we approached her, it became necessary that I should depJo'/r. from behind my friend. But in so doing, 1 did not notice a large pet dog, who, comfortably stretched on a red velvet cushion, lay napping beside his mistress, * v A directly in my path, un l wenr, anxious only to get thiough the introductory ceremonies as soon as possible, and then to ensconce myself in some remote corner, " imworkl forgetting, by tbe world forgot," I might escape all notice or remark. But truly says the French proverb, " Man j proposes, but God disposesand very I unfortunate were his dispositions for mv intention. As 1 hastened on. all glowing with confusion, and quaking with fright, j just as I began my bow, I stumbled over the detested pet, and was suddenly pre cipitated bead foremost, like an ancient j battering-ram, into the lap of Miss P.; , overturning episodically a countryman of , my own who was seated next to her, balancing his chair on its two hind leg*. To save himself, he instinctively grasped the i back of hor chair; and his weight at her rear, acting at the same moment thai I , was hurled at her in front, decided all hesitation, and over we all rolled together, ii._ .m.vn..nAof 'I'Ko viln rnr who lilt; (Tiiaiis > " had beerr at the bottom of the ivhole mis- 1 chief, seized me by the leg, and. receiv. ing a hearty kick in return, added his howlirrg to the chorus of dismay that now filled the apartment. Happily, the female sufferer in this malee engrossed all the sympathy and attention of the company ; but I well knew, that in the short minute that had elapsed since I had entered the apartment, [ had made three mortal enemies of a man, a dog and a lady. For mv own pnrt, as ?oon a [ had ex-1 tncafed myself from the terrible crash, confusion, and shame, I retreated into the most obscure corner of the room, wharf f sought to hide myself and mv overwhelming rnnrtific .tion behind the g ,ests who were lounging about there. The call to dinner served as a relief to my embarrassment; for I hoped that would engross every one's attention, which now, I could not help feeling, must he occupied with my awkwardness. Following the company to the dining-room, I saw that each plate contained a card, on which was written the name of the guest who was to occupy the place thus designated. Every one seemed to find his own place by magic ; but for me, four J or five times did I make the circuit of the table, looking in vain for mine, [n-; deed, ( know not but [ might have con- : tinued running ahout all dinner time rm- 1 - ' - -? uji noticed among ine crowu i?i scivauts, mm not Madame O.'s eyes at length detected mc as f circled round and round with an hysterically-increasing rapidity, mv eves dim with confusion, and clammy perspiration bedewing every pore of my body ; ^ and I at length sunk into my seat, when -t* found, lairly exhausted witti morfificaton and statute. Here, again, I found myself embarrassed with my Jiat, which, having 1 observed that a^retained in the drawing. ] room, I still grasped with nervous pertin- ] acity. This I at length disposed of. as I thought at the time, with wonderful in- ! genuity; for I hung it by the brim between my knees, spreading my handkerchief over its open cavity. Mv seat was next to a young lady, whom of course I was expected to entertain. I entertain! Wofully already, had I entertained the company, but I found myself infinitely better adapted to en tertain a company en masse than singulatim. l^i^ordinary routine of a French dinner now commenced. Soup and bouillie, fish, fowl, and flesh ; entremets and hors d'ocvresy while a series of servants np. peared each instant at our elbows, invitigg-iK to partake of a thousand different dishtit, and as mtyiy kinds of wines, all under ?uin^ oLjuuncs which I no rnuru | understood, than F understood their com- f position, or than they did mv gaucherics. Resolute to avoid all further opportunities t for displaying my predominant trait, I sat s in the most obstinate silence, saying 4yes' to every thing that was offered me, and s eating with most devoted application, till, t in an evil hour, my fair neighbor, weary r of mV taciturnity and her own, at length c herself began a conversation, by inquiring I how I was pleased with the opera. The t question was put at an unlucky moment. I was just raising a large morsel of pota- c toe to my mouth ; and in order to reply i as quickly as possible, I hastily thrust it t in, intending to swallow it instantly.? t Heavens ! it was as hot as burning lava ! What could I do? The lady's eyes were r fixed on me, waiting a reply to her ques. * tion. But my mouth was in flames. In vain I rolled the burning morsel hither | and thither, rocking mv head from side to side, while my eyes, which involuntarily I ( had fixed on her, were straining from i their sockets. She regarded mv grim. ? aces, of the cause of which I believe she I was ignorant, with amazement and sur. a prise, at which I can laugh now when I a think of it. 44 You're sick. Sir ?*' at length she gent- i | ly, and in an anxious tone inquired. I 1 could bear no more. My mouth was flayed with the burning mass, and smart- F ing with intolerable pain; so, quietly I abandoning the point, I opened it to its v utmost, and out dropped the infernal firebrand into my plate. Not the slightest * J ' .... srt I ? I It tendency to a smile visibly rutllea me j? imperturbable politeness of the woman. * She soothingly condoled with my misfor- a tune and then gradually led the conversa- I tion to a variety of topics; till exerting ! t the magic influence that true politeness a always exercises, I began even to forget 1 mv own blunders. Gradually mv cheeks ? burned less painfully, and I could even * join the conversation without the fear I I that every word I uttered shared the fate j ^ of every action I attempted. I even ven- i s tured to hope, nav, to congratulate my- ^ self, that the catalogue of -my culami- j r ties was completed for the dnv. t ^ " Let no one call himself hnppv before ! ' death." said Solon; and he said wisely. a The ides of March were not yet over.? c Betore us stood a dish of cauliflower, nice- ^ Iv done in butter. This I naturally ja enough took for a custard-pudding, which i it sufficiently resembled. Unfortunately, ^ my vocabulary was not yet extensive a enough to embrace all the technicalities ^ of the table; and when mv fail neighbor v inquired if I was fond of rhoufleur, I veri- 1 ly took it to be the French for custard, pudding; and so high was my panegyric of it, that my plate was soon bountifully ( laden with it. Alas! one single mouthful r was enough to dispel my allusion. Wouln* to Heaven that therhoufleur had vanished ^ along with it. But that remained borli. Iv ; and, almost as large, and as burning as Vesuvius, my heart died within me. e Ashamed to confess my mistake, though t[ could almost as readily have swallowed J' an equally quantity of soft soap, T strug- t< gled manfully on against the diabolical p enmoounds. I endeavored to sap the j tl mountainous heap at his base, and, shut, ting my eyes and opening my mouth, to inhuine as large masses as I could without v stopping to taste it. But my stomach p soon began, intelligibly enough, to inti- " mate its intention to admit no more of this nauseous stranger beneath its roof, f if not even expelling that which had al> t ready gained an unwelcome admttnncc. The seriousness of the task I had un- r dertnken. and the resolution necessary n to execute it, had given an earnestness r and rapidity to mv exertions, which appetite would not have inspired; when my [ plate, having somehow got over the edge , of the table, upon my leaning forward, t tilted up, and down slid the disgusting u mass into mv lap. My handkerchief, J unahle to hear so weighty a load, bent un- ? der it in its turn, and a great portion of it was thus safely deposited in my hat.? b The plate instantly rightod itself, as I ( raised my person ; and as I glanced tny ' eve round the table, and saw that no one ^ k-.rt mv disaster. I inwardly con. | ( gratuluted myself that the nauseous de- j roption was so happily disposed of. Re- 8 solving not to be detected, I instantly N n > n rolled rnv handkerchief together with all its remaining contents, and whipped it into mv pocket. The dinner table wns at length deserted for the drawing-room, where coffee and liqueurs were served round. Meantime, I I had sought out what I considered a safe hiding-place for my hat, beneath a chair in the dining-room, for I dared ? not carry it longer in my hand ; having < first thrown a morsel of paper into the | crown, to hide the cauliflower from view, * should anv one chance, in seeking for his f 2 own hat, to look into mine. On mv return to the drawing-room ( I chanced to he again seated by the lady, * hv whom I had set at dinner. Our conversation was naturally resumed ; and we were in the midst of an animated discus sion, when a huge spicier was seen running, like a race horso, up her arm. Take it off-?take it olF!' she ejacula- ' ted,.in a terrified.tone. a I was always afraid of spiders?so to | avoid touching him with my hand, T t caught my handkerchief from my pocket, j and clapped it at once upon the miscreant, v who was already mounting over her tem- u pie with rapid strides. Gracious heaven! ( had forgotten the caulifiower, which 1 t now plastered over her face like an emollient politico, fairly killing the spider, and blinding an eve of the lady ; while tiUle streamlets of soft butter glided down 5 * * ? -at i ? _ 1 ] i nor oeauiuui neca ami uikoui. 44 Mon dicu ! tnon dicu /" exclaimed the astonished fair. 4 MonuieuP was echoed from every mouth. 4 Have you cut your head V inquired 1 Cn?' ' ' * * Bg? Hi ? 3-'J'fjam1 ellow has crushed the spider ' * VVhat a quantity of entrails !' ejaculacd an astonished Frenchman, unconiciouslv to himself. Well might he be astonished. The ipray of the execrable vegetable had spatered her dress from head to foot. For nysclf, the moment the accident ocsured, I had mechanically returned my mndkerchief to my pocket, but its conents remained. 1 What a monster it must have been !' bserved a young lady, as she helped to elieve my victim from her cruel situaion. 4 ( declare I should think he had een living on a cauliflower.' At that moment, I felt some one touch ne; and turning, I saw my companion vho had come with me. 4 Look at your pantaloons,' he whis ered. Already half dead with confusion at he disaster 1 had caused, I cast my eyes ipon my once white dress, and saw at a [lance the horrible extent of my dilemma, had been sitting upon the fated pocket, ind had crushed nut the liquid butter, tnd the soft paste-like vegetable, which iad daubed and dripped down them, till - > ? i t seemed us it i wero actually absolving ii my pantaloons. Darting from the spot, I sprang to the ilace where I had left my hat; but before could reach it, a sudden storm of wrath vas heard at the door. 4 Sacr.r-j.e ! bete ! Sac r-rc Sac-r-r-re /' the r in the last syllable being made 0 roll like a watchman's rattle, mingled vith another epithet and name, that an ingry Frenchman never spares, was leard rising like a fierce tempest without he door. Suddenly there was a pause? 1 gurgling sound, as of one swallowing nvoluntarily?and tho storm of wrath tgain broke out with redoubled fury. I ieized my hat, and opened the door, and he whole matter was at once explained. ^Ve had exchanged hats; and there he tood, the soft cauliflower gushing down lis cheeks, blinding his eves, filling his iioutli, hair, ruustachios, ears and whis. ;ers. Never shall I forget that spectacle ! There he stood astride, like the colossus, nd stooping gently forward, his eyes foribly closed, his arms held drooping out irom his body, and dripping cauliflower nd butter at every pore. I staid no longer ; but, retaininig his iat, I rushed froin the house, jumped into , fiacre, and arrived safely at home ; leartily resolving, that to my last hour I vnuld never again deliver a letter of in. reduction.

He has prorided ample means fur the accomplishment of his objoct; and he pledges nimseu 10 ine irienas ot liberal and judicious education throughout the United States that he will produce a work which shall be in every respect worthy of their attention and patronage. There is a period in the progress from early childhood to maturity, and that by no means a short one, during which the expanding minds of ? young arc seeking in every direction for useful knowledge, as well as intellectual entertain* rnent. ? Every book, paper or pamphlet which promises either, is eargerly read, and every circle or sucioty of a literary or scientific cast is earnestly sought. During this period the young person is not satisfied with that kind of instruction which is given to' mere children. Something more elevated?something nearer the studies and pursuits of active life is required. A friecd always at hand who could point tout the proper studies to be pursued, the true methods of derel* opemcnt in Literatuie and Science, the best * course of Reading, the surest processes of Inves ligation, the most recent authorities in Expori* montal, and the most learned in Historical research?a friend who could relieve the dryness of abstract truth by a familiar anecdote,' narrative or illustration?who could scatter a few rows of literature in the ragged paths of severe science, ^ would indeed be invaluable. Such a friend not one Youth in a thousand, o! either sex, can have. There is no tolerable substitute to be found in any book we might say in any library. It ie proposed in soma mass, ure to supply the want of such a friend iaTbt Young People'* Book. One of the leading objects of the- work will ba to point nut and illustrate by practical example# the proper methods of self instruction in th# virions departments of Literature and Art, to suggest uppropria'e departments of study and inquiry, to prescribe courses of Reading, Hd to indicate the progress which may be made in Um Sciences, so far as the limits of the work wilt allow. The forms into which the different branches of instructihn and entertainment wi 1 lie thrown, will be regulated by the particular object in view at the same, and theelass ot readers always addressed. Essays, Narratives, Anecdotes, Tales, Histo. rical Reminiscences and Sketches, Critiques, Descriptive articles in Geogarapby, Geology Natural History, Antiquities and Travels* Biographical Notices & Poems will all in turn * Ihjcoiiio the vehicl s of inlollcctual development and entertiioinent. The aid of the Arts of Painting and Engraving will be invoked, and every susce|>til)le of graphic illustration will be nccoinponicd by well executed Pictures.

The preservation, however, ot a fuly National spirit; tlie inculcation of the duties which "very American scholar owes to his country, and the J exhibition of the capabilities of our early history, A our traditions, our customs and scenery lor ^ supplying all the materials of a copious and brilliant literature, will be constant objects of attention, and will form frequent topics of dis? i cussion, example, and illustration. .

Professor of Belles Lett res of the High School of Philadelphia, whoso reputation as a practical teacher, and a writer in the departments of edu. cation and polite literature, will form a sufficient guarantee, not only for the elegant and tasteful execution of the work, so far as language, style,, and embellishment are concerned, but for it, elevated moral and intellectual character, and for its invariub'o direction towards the improvement of its youthful readers in science, literature, and the coucuct of life. ? n--t- ? t t ?L.
