That some men in the world enjoy more happiness than others is unques tionable, an.l that tliis arises rather from the ]',eculiaily cotl^l;ilution of the muitl than from any otlier source is ecjually certain. INlok of the evils we encoun- te" in life, are in)as;inary, and tlie pain they occasion is propollionate to tlie acuteness ijf our miiiHs. as he said, befoi*e they parted. 'The youh';!; lady was niortifR'd ; she resolved to strike lecper, anil atUled in a confi dential whisper that she was to be mar ried to youn^ Mr. Stubs, in a fort night. Indeed, aid Harry, astonished, well my dear madam shall 1 have the honor to sell-you the wedding suit? with a simplicity which bespoke the sin cerity of the pj>:stoiu I A great portion of discontent which broods over human life, arises from the petty jars with others, to t\hicU we an; all constantly liable. Harry was proof against troul)le of this sort. If piioplu- illtrcatcd 'him, he pitied them ; if they tried to injure his cliaraclor, he laughed at it, beca'nse saiti he, they do butthrou (Just in tiieirov/n eyes who throw ngaiiist the wind, and a man v.hoby his actions gives the lie to tlan.U'r, always keeps to the windward of his ciicuiy. ilany one abused lum, lie giMieraily lisliMied with pe'rfect iiulili'‘reiu;i.‘; jiut his hands i,i his pocket, and sail! it is like (/ihiT 'viiid, it neither broaHs tiie bones nor bruises the llesh, it gives no paiii; aiul lie often uhservcd jucuiarly, that he wo’idereil huw pcujdo c«>uld bo much milled by the mere co nbinatiou of s()unls he uttei’cd ; mere breath, wiweh costs the brawler all the laoor, the iiear- iitg nothiiig. 'riius Harry Farr parried o'Tthe evils whicli dash with bittei'ne>;s the bi)wl ot human happiness iti so many instances. He had made up his mind to becoiiteiiL- ed from the beginning, “wiial can't lie cured must be enduretl,’- and he re.isou- ed very.logically ihat wlial ni'fist l)e en dured, however uif^deasaiit it r*ijy ap pear to the mind, might as weil be en dured with a liglit heart as a heavy one. Nor was tnere wanting a single spark of j^ood sound sense in bis connucL, lew as may he the examples of tiie same conduct in the world. 11 Providence overrules and diiects all the wants oi life, surely we ought not to repine; though in filling up the history of our fortunes she throws much shade as weil as sunshine; only admit the maxim that all lor the best, and we cannot have a rational foundation on which to build the castle of discontent. Over many oi tiie early years of Har ry Farr, the clouds of misfortune hung blackly; but he made tiie best of every thing, and thanked God for what he had, instead of Iretting about what he had not. If he met wiih losses he set into tins narrow passage. He a^var.rcd amid the crackhng of the flames, tiie crash of floors, and the fall of burning timbers, and of the red hot iron roots which tumbled around him. These ruins impeded his progress. The flames which, with impetuous roar, consumed thft edificcs between wliich we were jiro* ceeding beyond the walls, w’cre blown about by tlie wind, and formed an arch over our heads. e w^alked on a ground of fire, beneath, a fiery sky, and between two wails ol lire. he intense heat burned our eyes, which we wen,' nevrrtlieless ol)liged to keep open and lixeil on the danger. A consuming at- inospliere, glowing ashes, detached (lames, parched our throats, and ren- ('ered our resjjiration short and dry ; and we wei'e almost sullbcated by the smoke,—Our hands v;ere burned, either by endeavouring to protect our faces rrom the insu|)portable heat, or in brush ing t)lV ^le sparks which every moment fuvered and penetrated our garments. ‘ In tliis inexpressible distress, and when a rapitl atlvance seemed to be our ;niiy means of safty, our guide stopped in uncertainly and agitation. Here wonid jirobably have terminated oni' adventurous career, had not some {)illa- gers of t!ie first corjjs recognized the I'.iiperor amidst the whiiling flames : iney ran up and guided him towartlslhe siiiokiiig ruins of a quarter which iiad ^jeen reduced to ashes in the morning. ‘ It was tiien tiiat we met the Prince of Kckmuhl. This mai'shal, who had bgen Avounded at the ^loskwa, had de sired to i;e carried back ai.iong t!ic j’.unies to rciCue Napoleon, oi- to perixli with him. He threw himself intvj i.is arms with transport, the Kinpcror le- ceived him kindly, ljut with tiiai com posure which in danger he never lust loi a moment. ‘'Fo escape from this vast region of calamities, il was fuitiier necessary to pass a long convoy of powder whicli w,is detiling amidst the lire.—This was not the least of his dangers, but it was the last, and by night fall he arrived at Pe- trowsky.’ Segur’s Russian expedit'.on. ,, ,, . , 1 ;dioiit renail in"" them at once: il sick he ^ Hprrv Farr was a name long remem-; ^ , ’ ,, , I .1 , *11 ^1’ Ai oUi..... maiiasjed hisconceins as util as lit was bered in the neat village ol Alesbury,, ^ . , 1 1 -xi 1 i 11.- able r il vvronsieti, took ttie uiscsi mein- and. remembered with that warmth oi ’ ^ ... Jfriendship wiiich has its origin deep in the heart. Sorrow and misfortune nev er found a more sliif necked rebel than they found in him—he possessed a mind of rather an eccentric cast, anil though on every su^ect he thought rationally, though in all his ideas tiie workings of a strong and steady mind were visible, Still he thought, and acted out every hypothesis of IVis iirain, witii steadiness and unwavering constancy, ile seeiii- eJ to be incapahlc of dwelling on par ticulars, always looking forward to gen eral results—and when the w/iole pros pect, as far as the eye could reach was overclouded, his mind went further and dwelt in happy contemplation on a still n^ore distant resting place beyond the last Mud'ojagc of mortaiity. He had his treidiles—who has not ? He can.e at mrinhood to a small estate, tin iiilieritance f >r wliich a worthy' ances tor iiad laliored loi.g and hard—and he ivTs merry when he spoke ol the many ♦laA's of toil fortune hatl thus put awa_) fiom him—but jusi as he was commen cing shop-keeping business, a distanl tiiisman discovering a flaw in his title, ejected him and he was turned penny- Jess on the worKI.

One of these marriages took place last week at Methyr Cinog, to the great entertainment of that pari ol the county of Monmouth.

His breast was literally tori’ ojien bv bayonets and musket balls, so that the beating of his lieart was dis- tinelly seen. ‘Would you still fighi, if you were able.''’ asked a lirilish oili- cer, as he pas.sed by him wellering m his blood, ‘IV.v.'’ was the bold rejily, and tiie Oj)po; tunity for thus expressing his devotion to the cause of his country, rekindled the expiring lamj) of life.— ’I'iiis olllcer hajipened to possess a spark of humanity. ‘It is a pity that so young and noble a man should die in this man ner,’ a'ul lie gave him a silk cap, wliich he 'ti’.nijd iu‘ .) his breast, and slauncheii r,ie blo(-d.

The following details of the great jSupolean^ escape from the palace of ihe Czars, is j)icturesipie and entertaining. It w'as shouted that the Kremlin was on fire: anil this incident decided Napoleon. He hastily descended the norllier stair case famous for tne massacre of the Strelitzi'S, and desired to he guided out of the city to the distance of a league on the road to Petersbuig, toward the im perial Palace of Pelrowsky. ‘ liul we were encircled by a sea of Hie, whii'li blocked up all the gates oi the Citadel, and frustrated the lirsl at tempts that were m.ule to depart. Alter some seal ch, wediscovered a postern gat(,‘ leading between the roeks ol the Mosk- wa. 11 waf', by tliis narrow passage that iSapoUon, hisollicers and guard, escaji- ed from the Kremlin. Jiul what had they giuned by this inovtmenl.^ 'I'hey had approached nearer to the lire, and couhl neither retreat nor remain where they ncro ; and huw were they to advance? how force a j)assage tiro’ the waves of tiiis ocean of flame? 'i'hose who had trave.sed the cily, .stunned by the tem- p“si and blinded''Jiy the ashes, could not fiiid their way, since the streets them selves were no longer distinguishable a- o o midst the ruins. ‘'Tiicre was no time to be lost.—The roaring of the (lames around us became every moment more violent.

Tiie increase in the matrimonial ad vertisements puts us in mind of a hoax of tliis sort which was played oif ashorl lime since. Il was agreed in a gay par ty of ladies and ge:itlemen that an ad vertisement should be inserted in a I..011- don morning paper, as from a lady who fell inclinctl to taste the joys (d' ni'dri- mony, more speedily than to allai-'pear- ance ihe ordinary way would enable her to do, giving the longing maiden a fair jiortion of beauty anil riches. Letters were received in reply Irom between fifty ;nul sixty swains of all descriptions, to each of v. hom an answer was addres sed, stating that so far the writer v.as not objected to, but that the lady would like previously to his being introduced to her, “unseen to see him;*’ at the same time requesting each to be in the pit of the Drury-lane Theatre on a cer tain evening, dn.'ssed in a particular way. and immediately on the conclusion of the first piece, to stand upon the bench es and apply a ([uizzing glass to the right eye. All succeeded so well, that as soon as the curtain fell, above 50, of all ages, mounted the benches—from thcsmooth- chinned Adonis of fifteen, to the sleek, portly, selfconfident widower of fitly, and the shrivelled, worn out, and ema ciated bachelor of sixty, all adorned ac cording to order in the gayest style, and witii the utmost nicety, to make the deeper imjiression on the heart of the lair prize. High swelled their bijsoms with hope, as with studied action the sparkling glass w^as raised to the, eye ; hut who shall ]vunt the astonishment, (lismay, and rage, alternately depicted mi their couritenaiices, 011 tliscovering the sudden faiku'e of all their hopes ? With such velocity did they all tleseend from their unenviable altitude, to “ hide iheir tlimiidshed heads” among, the crowd, tluil the decrepit lover of sixty, might ha\ e fancied his knees once more possessed of the pliancy of twenty. If this should iru'i't the eye 01 some of the actors in this humorous pii.'ce, they wili readily believe that no Farce produced at Old* Drury, ever went oil so much to the sat isfaction of the aulhoi s ; though the actors thougiit the conclusion rather too tragic to allow a rejx fition. ikrt’s Mercury. Il'elch NuplidJ.s.—Our readers are not, perhajjs, a ware of the existence of a curious wedding ceremony among the Welch.
