BILL JINKIN'S TROUBLES. OS THE FIRST NIGHT OK HIS MARRIAGE ! Bill Jinkins was a very modest man : and although he had mingled with the world at barbacues, shooting matches, bar-rooms, and many of the et cetera places where men may occasionally be found yet he was modest, very whenever placed in the company of ladies. He trembled when a pretty girl would speak to him, est telt like a culprit at the stand when he was called upon to see Miss So and so home." Bill could never explain or account for this sin gular timidity. He would sing, frolic, and be as wild as a Rover, amonir men. but a petticoat would unnerve him instantly. ljucy i.nn iiggons, a yr 4ng wiuow, had " set her cap " for Bill. ad was determin ed to ' head him or die. ;' Bill, to tell the truth, loved Lucy, and was as miserable out oi her company as he was timid in it, but as to "popping the question." that was impossible. Lucy knit purses, hemmed handkerchiefs, worked shirt bo soms, and gave them to Jinkins, as well as several gold rings, but still Bill "would not propose. Lucy declared to him re peatedly that sue ioveu mm ana was mis erable when he was absent from her, and the happiness in life depended upon being his wile but Bill was dumb. . At last Liicy was determined that he should ;hear Lthunderj," and when he next visited her, after some preliminary soft talk on her part, she very affectionately said, "Billy, my dear, when are jou going to ask me to marry you, lor 1 want to set my dress ready." Bill fainted on the spot, and hartshorn and water were applied, for half an hour before he was finally restored. YVhat has been the matter, Miss Lucy." Oh, nothing much ; you fainted when you were about to ask me .to marry you but I told you yes and, oh, how happy we will be when we are married! I will love you so dearly ; and, as you said next Tues- uay, why 1 am willing the wedding should be then- -my dear Billy, how 1 do love j j Here' we ought to stop, but justice to our narrative requires that we should proceed to the finals. The "next Tuesday" had come, and Jinkins was trembling at the approach of evening something seemed to harrow up his mind, and to no friend even would he communicate his deep distress. " You are not afraid, certainly, to go up and get married why, to marry such a beautiful, charming, and intellectual being, as Mrs. Liggons, 1 should wish that time would fly like news upon the Electric Tele graph line. Cheer up, Jinkins cheer up.' 4 Oh," replied Bill, 'you don't know what distresses me. I can go up and get married that is easy enough, but there is something I know it 1 feel it there is one thing I am satisfied I never will be able to do, unless Lucy will assist me." " Explain yourself," replied his friends "and if I can with propriety I will endeavor to render you comfortable.'' But Jinkins could not explain he dared not it was his timidity he saw the Ru bicon before him and he knew he could not pass it-r-but he was determined to get married and trust to luck and Lucy. The night came and they were married. All were merry ; the laugh, the chat, the song, and the dance, made up a lively par ty until midnight they commenced to disperse, and at one o'clock Bill Jinkins was left " solitary and alone " in the hall. Lucy Ann had retired, and her bridesmaids were oft" in a distant room. Bill Jinkins1 COMMON PROPERTY OF ITS CITIZENS." VOX. waiters and friends had gone home with the ladies. Bill was now at the point where he thought his firmness would fail him. His situation 'was a peculiar one. He was not certain which was Lucy Ann's room, although he had been told and even had he known he could not go to it The watchman cried "past two o'clock," and yet Jinkins was still alone and appa rently engaged in puxusing an old alma nack, which by chance had been left in his coat pocket An old female darkey, who. retsiueu in ine iamuy, naci Deen prevailed upon by the ladies, who noticed Jinkin's bash fulness, to show him his bedroom, -and she accordingly introduced herself to him in as modest a style as she well could. Mr Jinkins, said she, " past two o'clock.'' Oh, yes I know it I'am going home in a few minutes. Old woman, where is my hatr" It's in Miss Lucy's room, sir you can get it there if you'll go in. Mr Jinkins, why don't you go to bed? Miss Lucy is there waiting for you dont be so modest the ladies will laugh at you. Come with me, and I'll show you the room, for I want to put out the lights, lock up the house, and go to bed." The old woman seized hold of Jinkins and pulled him along until she got out of the hall, and his gaz.e was fixed for a mo ment upon the entry door but she was determined to put him into Miss Lucy's room, and after violent efforts succeeded. There he. stood, with the nob of the door in his hand but the old darkey had been smart enough to lock the door outside. Lucy pretended for some time to be asleep: but that sort of gammon would not answer at last she said "My dear Billy, what is the matter?'' " 1 want my hat!" screamed Jinkins, and Lucy, knowing his modesty, leaped outof bed, and after caressinghim for some time, Billy went to bed with his clothes and boots on and trembled till morning. How Jinkins subsequently managed " matters and things in general," can be known by application to his dear Lucy Ann. Reader, strange as it is may appear, there are Jinkinses all over the world ; but freemasonry of wedded life draws the cur tain before the eyes of the uninitiated. Going to bed on the first night after marri age must be among the most delicate situa tions in life. Ask your married neighbor how it was with him! We have no expe rience, exactly, in that way! Spirit of me v imes. MEXICO. Interesting extracts of a let ter fromCapt. Henry, to the Greensboro Patriot, dated Salhlla, Aug. 15 1847: In Sal til lo. things remain pretty much as when I last addressed you. I think (he Mexicans here are becoming less inimical to us every day. Confidence is every hour increasing and the respectable and weal thy inhabitants, who upon the approach of our army retired to their haciendas (or anded estates,,) are everyday coming in. Many of their large and spacious mansions here are occupied by our army stores, and as offices of the various departments, &c, and on application to the commanding General they are invariably vacated and given up to the owners. I believe I in formed you in my last how comfortably my company, and myself and officers, were quartered here. We occupy the same quarters at this time, and I presume shall remain in them all the summer, or until the army marches. Every public build ing, as well as may private ones here, have curious devices wrought in their walls porcelain is inlaid in the brick walls, and in some Catholic figure on emblem such as Christ on the cross the different sainis, &c. Our quarters, the " Colegio del Crts o," with its long "portales,'' ad passage ways, lined with huge pictures represent ing the catholic Saints and martyres, bear a striking contrast with our late quarters, while on the march from Camargo, "bivo uacking" in the open air, my men exposed to the pelting rains without tents or any other covering, and many having none other than the broad canopy of heaven. The principal cathdral is situated in the public Plaza, ""and is a most stupendous piece of workmanship it appears to have been the work ot ages. In the way of ornament and decoration, it far surpasses the conception of the most vivid imagina tion, and words lose their power in the at tempt to describe it The interior with its rows of immense arches, supported by massive columns, elaborately carved and gorgeously decorated with ornaments, is at once imposing and inviting. The mag nificent altar is a master piece of art -which alone, (exclusive of the golden vir gin, which was removed before our arri val, cost an immense sum. Around the altar are many crucifixes, images of Chirsst, candle sticks of gold and silver, which cost millions but which are removed after every caremony. The priests in their rich robes of gold and silver-embroidery, of ficiate around the altar daily ; and the ceremony of high mass has been holding now for nine consecutive days by a special edict of their principal bishop. It is quite interesing to me only on account of their splendid music, and not on account of their ceremony being in any way intructive or edifying. The ignorant creatures either stand, kneel, or sit down on thestone floor during ther devotions, and if we were not here as conquerors instead of visiters, we should be compelled to kneel or sit down TERMS OF ADVERT IEUCO : One square of twenty-one lines or less, for one inser tion, 60 cent ; eTery sub sequent insertion, 30 cent, except it remain in for sev eral months, when it will jbe charged 3 for two months, 4 for three, &.c. S10 for twelve months. 03" Liberal deductions for. large advertisements by the year or six months. 0-NO. 451. also. . The host, which is carried around the church during high mass, is a crucifix most brilliantly ornamented. The cere inoney of carrying the host through the streets, on winch occasion every person drops on his knees as it passes, is dispens ed with this year, on account of our occupa tion of their city, &.c, for they apprehend some difficulty "in bringing all to kneel to it. In Saltillo, as in all Mexican cities, the extremes of riches and and poverty are very broadly contrasted. The rich are veryrichi and the poor are very poor. I can" scarcely walk a hundred paces with out meeting some poor mendicant asking charity of me, while there own people pass by with perfect indifference. At first, the sight of some poor unfortunate child of sor row, a picture of squalid poverty, excited my sympathy and moved my generosity; but 1 soon found the applications so fre quent, that if all were answered, they wuuld soon exhaust the purse and pay of a captain of " Infantry of the" line." These priests, are indeed a jovial set of fellows. They officiate half the day around the altar, and then spend the re mainder at the gaming table, or in the coek.pit. I have have seen one in particu lar, in the cathedrat in the morning, (Sun day) as sanctified as possible, and in after noon, enjoying himself in the cock-pit. Yes, Sirs, the Mexicans are the embit tered enemies of the United States ; and it is a proposition, to demonstrate the truth of which, requires no Baconian powers of logic, no Ciceronian flowers of rhetoric, and no Bentonian .faculty of piling facts upon facts, and records upon records. Yet, they respect us ; and this is at once a proof of the assertion, that the feeling of love, and the sentiment of respect, are not necessarily, shoots from the same parent stock. The Mexicans have been inspired with this respect for us, not merely in con sequence of their insufticency to cope with us in the contention of arms, and in the art of erectiug spendid monuments to attest the wisdom of our political and so cial policy ; but in addition to this, they have imbided the conviction, both from tra dition and observation, that the people of our country are inherently a superior race to themselves. In the creatiou of this belief, the complexion, appearance, and general bearing of the Americans, have exerted no small agency. They are in the habit of indicating their respect for us, by the ardent desire which they constantly evince to acquire a knowledge of our lan guage by the deferential degree of polite ness exhibited by them to Americans who visit their houses by the obsequious man ner of their address to American citizens of the humblest grade. VCj When do we beffin to love people? When they begin to let us look into their hearts, and their hearts are found to bo worth looking into. ICT There is this difference between happiness and wisdom. He that thinks himself the happiest man is really so ; but he that thinks himselt the idly the greatest foo. wisest is gener- PROSPECTUS OF THE CONGRESSIONAL REGISTER. With the commencement of the 30th Congress, we propose to continue the Congressional Regis ter on tbe same plan as published during the last session. It will contain a full and accurate re port of the business proceedings of Congress, together with sketches of the debates which take place in each house. The next Congress will be one of the most important which has assembled for years, and it is our determination to give to the people a complete history of their proceed ings, and at such a low price that every person who takes an interest in the acta of that body can procure a copy. It is believed that the 1st session of the 30th Congress will continue at least eight months; and we therefore propose to issue weekly, on a mammoth sheet, octavo form, their proceedings at the unprecedented low rate of One dollar per copy for the session. THE WEEKLY UNION FOR THE SESSION. This publication is not only the cheapest, but it contains more valuable redding matter than is to be found in any other Weekly published at the same price in the country.
