Tan, Eq.', waa nearin; ita close about three months ago, when returning home one e ening, I waa invited by a much ralued friend to partake of an oyatei aupper wih him. The Invitation I accepted, and arriv ed at a place of refreahment, he inquired what I would drink with the oysters. I re plied, "cold water, if anything." He said I had better take some brandy, at it would 4fo me good. To thia I remarked, "we are temperance men, and muat not drink." To my surprise, he ordered the waiter to brinjr in "oyaters for two and brandy for one." On the appearance of the red, dangerous, wicked article, I inquired of my friend seri ously if he was a temperance 'man. "Cer tainly," aaid he, Ma real temperance man; a Y)r. Hun temperance man." Sir, I was furprised. The introduction of the latter gentleman's name, with the apt illustration of his doctrine here occuring, produced a discussion on the merits of the controversy then going on between him and Mr. Dela van; my friend lakTrig Dr Hun's aide of the question, and strengthening his position with occasional draughts from the brandy tumbler, arid taking Mr. Delavan's aide, with the appropriate emblem of the purity of my cause for aid a glass of clear spring water. Afier h ilf an hour's animated argu ment, in which my friend admitted the su perior philanthropy, purity of motive and action of Mr. Delavan, I made a proposition to retire, but he stopped mc, and ordered a nother glass of brancfy. I remonstrated with him on the impropriety of ''the step. He said, .is a scholar and philosopher, he felt it due to Dr. Hun to drink his health before he left there, for the, ingenuity, learning and tact with which he supported his doctrine The brandy arrived he stood up and with aXuce beaming-ft frttte more than SfricPrem' perance would betoken, he exclaimed raising the insidious, vile destroyer of man's peace in his hand "Here - to the philoso pher scholar the ttue temperance man DoctoK lies."

I stated to my companion, on the evening in question, before we parted, that the oc currences of the night were so powerfully demonstrative of the evil and dangerous ten dency of Dr. Hun's writings, that I should publish the circumstances, so as to counter act in some measure their future action. To this proposition, after a little thought, he as sented, on condition that I would not men tion his name. I promised not, but did not fail to remind-him at the moment, that if the principles which he advocated were sound and pure, he nuqht not to be athamed 'to in dorse them. He laughed, and bid me good night. I retired to my roim that night with sad dened feelings, and prayed fervently to Heaven for the preservation of this noble I e tried young man, and for the forgiveness and conversion of Dr. Hvin. I hid fearful aunpicions.-oo reading the controversy ben tweeiiDr, Hun anil Mr. Uelavan, that many 'wnuldtake advantage of the Doctor's respec tability and connexions, and his plausible arguments for the rum-bottle, to betake them- selves to its pleasing but treacherous em braces; bull had no I dei until I had the pain of witnessing it that the .

Permit me to illustrate my views of mod ems drinking, by relating substantially a thrilling scene, which orcuned in a town la a neighboring Stale, while the people were gathered together to discuss the merits of the license question, and decided informally; whether neighbors should any longer be per mitted to destroy each other by vending al coholic poison.

After a moment of silence and alt eyes being fixed upon her, she stretch ed her attenuated body to its utmost height. then her long arms to their greatest length and raising her voice to a shrill pitch, she called upon all to look upon her.

In die garden of Dilgusha, at Shiraz, in Persia, nightingales are said to abound, which not only sin? during the night, but whose plaintive melody is not suspended by day in the East, as it is in our colored re gion; and it is said that several of those birds have expired wnus contending witn musicians in the loudnes or variety of their notes. It has indeed, been known, accoid ing to Pliny, that in vocal trials among night tngaleaV the vanquished bird terminated 4u song only with its life; t Aa intelligent Persian, 'who repealed ihtl story aeain, and permitted me to write it down from his own lips, declared that he had more than once been presentwhen a celebrated luunlsC M irz Mohammed, ur named Balub, was playing to a laige com nanv in a prove near Shiraz. where be die. tinctly saw the nightingales t7ing to vie with' the musician, sometimes warbling on the mttl from branch to branch, aa" if they wished to approach, the- instrument whence the melody proceeded; and at length drop-! fdng on the ground ia a kind of ecstacy, rbro which he assured me they were soon raised by i change in' the".mode.i' And in one of Strada's Academical Prolusions, we find a beautiful poem which lends to coo-, firm the Perrian report, for It supposed th spirit of emulation, so powerful in the night ingale that, having strained her little throat, vainly endeavoring to excel the musician, she breathes out her life in one last effort, and drops upon ihe'instrument which had contributed to her defesL According toAViLtis's lastWter, publish ed inlhe Nadonal Intelligencer, gentlemen of middle age are sadly out of place in the gay circles of New York. He states the caae thus ; It strikes me that there is no provision in the gay society of New York for people of middle age. A man between thirty-live and forty invited to a large party. He finds the two principal rooms stripped of carpels and of mort of the silting down fur niture, and the reception-room entirely lined with the mammas and chaperons of the young ladies on the floor. However he might be a "dancing man" in Europe, where teople dance ti'l their knees fail them, he npws that in thia haste to-grow-old Coun try it would be commented harshly upon especially ifhnhasa wife, for whom it is expected his overflow of spirits should be reserved. As he don't dance, he would like to converse. The old ladies talk of nothing but their daughters, and the daugh ters, if not dancing, think it would repel a probable partner to seem much occupied in conversation.' He looks around for a sofa and a lady who don't daiice. Sofa there is none, and in a chair iu the corner perhaps there is one lady who is neither young nor. old raraavit'. He ifppToaches her, and, well nigh jammed against the wall, under takes a conversation not audible (he stand ing and she sitting) unless kept up at a scream. After a half hour of this, the lady, if she be discreet, remembers that "it looks particular' to be engrossed more than half an hour by one gentleman, and looks or says so. The middle-aged man slides along the ajj.jjets back: into .the. crowded recepiioa roomi talk a little- to the chaperons; comes back and looks on at the waltz, and so pas ses the three hours till supper oh his legs. The ladies take an hour to sup, and ahout three o'clock, he gets a corner for some oysters and champagne, and between that and four o'clock gets home to bed. He is three o'clock the next day he looks and feels as a man naturally would who had burnt his candie at both ends for nothing. v PUSEYISM. - The following is given as a synopsis of the doctrine ol J'useyum by a Boutnern I.

The object is to have the subscription year of all to expire at the same time, so that'if there should not be sufficient patronage,, to continue a second year, there may be no difficulty about re turning balanres, Ac. " We cannot suppose this enterprise will be defeated for Want of patronage, "he efli. ciency" and . strength of the EdiloriafjDorps, and the talents otherwise commuted to the undertaking, give this work a higher claim to the attention of the citizens of North Car olina and adjacent States, than any that has ever been offered to public, favor.

One of the merriest fellows the day is the gallant Col. Oarter, ol the Incoming Uaz ette, The following are his grave and profund remarks upon the important science "Popping tne question. ' Girls are queer little animals enroll we intended to have said; and we love 'em all, in spite of their faults folly and flirting, We have "popped the question at least a dozen times, and a dozen times, have been refused.

He says there was a great deal of "rough gambling" (ih&t u stealing) going on all round; but while other people were only able to steal the raw-logs, he was smait enough to steal the boards ready sawed!
