:-sThere is but one step from th
hublime to.the ridiculous,' saye on old
pliilbopler, and that step is a short
bne, we would add. Have you ever
visited the top of a high mountain on
n solitary poetical visit, dear render,
and us you were gazing over the
gloNous aray of hills; valleys, rorests,
4nd waving grain, stretching out far
below, raised your head to utter an
inspiration, and noticed a sturdy jackass
coutemplatively gazing at the same
scene? Have you ever seen a "blue.
botilo' sportively buzzing about the
hose ofa venerable parmon as he is
Jiously uttering a rapt passage from
p4sial?
Have you ever heard a deep.mouthed
Macbeth whisper to Macdulf in the
Marial combat, 'Hurry up and stick,
Mne, dry as a fish.'
-ave you ever seen the ragged
proprietor of a hand organ solemnly
grinding away before a fashionable
Musio Store?
Have you ever noticed a full.blown
Eixquisite striding along with a tately
htep, and gazing cloud-ward, meet with
an unexpected fall of six inches at
Some street.corner?
If you have seen these or any similar
instances or the proximity of the
sublime to the ridiculous, you may,
perhaps, appreciate the humor of a little
incident that occurred in our city a few
iays ago.
A young friend of ours-who shall
be nameless-a matchless wag and
punster, and gifled with the keenest
relish for fun of every description, be.
barne ardently enamoured of a delicate
lilond young lady, the daughter of a
heavy Grocer residing on Euclid
htreet. 'They met, 'twas at a ball,'
ptnd at the close of a short waltz he
found himself fairly spotted through
the heart-done for. 'Pooh!' said Ite,
when he retturned hoime, 'all gamnoin!
I've laughed at such nonsense all my
life-time. This milk and water

Tom lood. It was of no use, though

And it delightly haunted him in his
dreams.
The next morning on reviewing his

would prove the only relief, and wiih
the natural impetuosity of youth
determined to declare his passion at
once, especially, since the fair Amelia
was plied with hosts of visitors, drawn
thither by her own charms and the
Inore resistless fascination of the
paternal "hams and shoulders.' le
Vlecided quickly, and the next evening
saw him scrupulously attired cap a
pic at the door of the Grocer's dwelling.

was ushered in the presence of his

Smothering his antipathy, however, and
knowing well the value of time, he ad

then an awkward pause. Our younlg

were comning to a crisis, and with one
desperate summoning up of his courage,

an eminent lawyer, wvithm an ext-nsive
pract ine. I was informued by one of thme
profession that his practice at one pC.

juries in thme old City Hall'(now the site
of the custom house) w hen Hamilton
and Humrr wvere the opposinig counisel.
Tlhmey were both acute lawyers and
elognent speakers. A remarkable
incident ,took place one day. They
weore trying the validity of a will.
Hamilton having the will ini his hand,
happened to hold it between thme windon'
and hits eyes. Ho rose, and prayed the
court 'to stay the proceedings, and,
handmng the will up to the judge, (I
think it wvas Brockholst Livingston,)
remnarked: "If the court please, '1here
ia witness from Heaven that widl act
this matter at rest. I-f the court please,
hold the Instrument so as to look
through the paper. The water mark
is dated five years after he .was dead.'
Of course a verdict for the defendant
was given at once.
In the year 1.800 Colonel Hut r was
elected to the office of Vice-President
of the United States. On the 1lith of
