"Ins and outs.'
I'm out of cash, and so of course,
I've pocket room to let;
I'm out of patience, jnst because
I'm never out of debt.
Reside, I'm dreadfully in love.
And more than half in doubt
Which is the greatest evil, that
Of being in or out?
4l'm deeply in my tailor's books,
But I don't mind a dun;
And if 1 wasn't out of funds,
I'd pay him, out of fun.
He always gave me 'fits,' h said,
Bilt. heaven b!e.9 his eyes!
Twnald put him in a fit, I guess.
He'd be in such surprise,
I'm out at elbows, in distress,
Ah! mine's a sorry tale!
i'm out of favor,, out of sorts.
But then, I'm Out of jail .
My landlord says my time is out,
And thinks I'd better s!hi;
I'm such an 4out and outer,' he
Won't have me in his inni
I'm out of office, but in hopes
To get ptit in some day; f
If I don't run' for something
I'll have to run away.
I'm out of spirits,; and I'm out
Of more than I can think;
I'm out of temper; hang the pen!
Ye gods! Pm out of ink"
Most Romantic Jlfftiir Tivo elope
ments and a wedding. About a year
since, a young man came to this city from
Belchertown in this state, and entered a
dry goods S'ore in Washington street as a
Salesman. His steady habits, and attention
to business won him the regard of his em
ployer, while his respectful courtesy and
manly beauty secured the good favor of the
lady customers ol the store. Among the
latter was a very beautiful young daughter
of one of our most respectable citizens. A
tort of telegraphic intercourse was estab
lished between the two, and it was not long
before it was followed bv a regular int.ro
duction antf. intimacy. We should have
said t' at Mr. B hid inherited a small
property fiom his deceased parents, and
this may have had some weight with the
father and mother of the young lady, by
whom the young man was soon regarded
as their future son-in law. Sd matters be
ing arranged all went fmerry as a marriage
bell" when lo! there appeared Upon the
carpet a dashing New York tailor, who
proposed to the father of the affianced girl,
to remove to New York, and enter iri'o bu
sinesg with him on a grand scale in ('hat
ham street. Frd n the moment of this
proposal the prospects of young B
changed the parents of the voung lady
looked cold upon him, and the poor girl
was soon informed that she mint dismiss
her suitor, and accept the hand of the clash
ing; schneider. Her remonstrances and
tears were of no avail, and her family pre
pared to leave for New York. Her old
lover, however, found means to see her
and persuade her to elope with htm - and
one day they rode odt to tfedham' and there
look seats in the accommodation railroad
train to Providence. At Providence, how
ever, the steamboat in which they engaged
a passage to N. York was detained by fog,
and the father of the girl, who had some
how got wind of the affair.- arrived at Pro
vidence, and obtained possession of his fu
gitive daughter. The lover returned to
town alone and despairing and the family
of the girl removed with h r to New York
Gorily afterwards. In' the city she was
oon forced into giving a reluctant consent
lo marry the tailor. Every thing was ar
ranged for celebrating: the nuntials in a most
Splendid manner? and, strange to say, the
g'n appeared "nothing loath," the ceremo
ny was to take olace at St. John's chanel.
and numerous guests were invited to the
wedding party. On the very da'y appoint
ed for the marriage, however, the bride
Ulappeared. rhcre was as mtrcb racing
nd chasing' in pursuit of her as after the
ost bride of Neiherby," but with equally
M success. In the mean time,- the young
,aty, disguised in male attire, took passage
dn Hoard the steamboat C.tetfpatra, and, arri
ving safely in Boston, wltridut any adren
al c, was received in me arms oi a faithful
temae Iriend a married lady
residing

igence was soon
conveyed to her lover, and in company will
him & a fair companion, the twice promis
h
promis
ed bride, made an excursion to Batilebo
rough. Vt , where the nurjtial knot was
firmly tied. The parties returned to Bos
ton on Tut-sday evening, and we had th
pleasure of shaking hands with theni and
wishing them all manner of felicity.

(As a tact illustrative of the abun
dance of money in New York, the Ex
press states that one bank in Wall street
has one million six hundred thousand dol
lars in specie on hand, and is a creditor
bank to the amount of four hundred thou
ami dollars, inesame Bank has a circu
lation of only a little over three hundred
thousand doll irs. This bank could extend
iis line of discount, if it could find the secu
rities, to two millions of dollars.
From Alabama. We learn, through
t ie medium of the correspondence of the
New York "Eaprvss, the following par
ticulars of the legislation of the State of
Alabama.
A law has been pissed putting all the
branches of the Slate bank into liquidation.
commissioners are appointed, and the pro
cess has commenced.
A law has been passed levying a tax.
both general and specific, to defray the
State expenses, to redeem the circulation,
and to sus'ain the plighted faith of the" State
The debates on this subject have been all
in the right spirit, and go to show conclu
sively, nnd emphatically, that the doctrine
of repudiation is scouted and denounced by
the good people of Alabama, of whatever
name or party.
This tax law will raise a revenue of a
b'uit tivo hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars, of which one hundred thousand will
b reserved for oilier purposes. The pay
ment of the interest on the State bonds of
Alabama is already provided for, beyond
doubt or contingency, for two years to
come.
The circulation of the State bank and
branches, as per statement to the Legisla:
ture, made up to 1st of December last, is a
bout 55,000.000. Tlie debs due t trie
bank estimated good are about eight mill
ions of dollars, of which it is conflderitly
as?erted that at least one-third will be paid
in during the spring. From this source,
and the collection of the tax, it is believed
there can be no question that more than
one-half the circulation will be retired by
the first of July, and ihe remainder during
i he next year.
Singular PhenOmina. The St Louis
Eiaofihe 13th instant has the following
paragraph:
Some of the papers in the upper part of
Missouri notice the fall of a dark substance,
resembling ;?teel dust, immediately after
the heavy snovV two weeks ago. The
light of the sun was obscured all da(y, ofi
Tuesday, by dense clouds of this substance,
and it is known to have extended to several
counties.
Jinimal Magnetism A young lady
in Boston fell on the ice the other day, and
broke her arm. She was conveyed home,
it is stated, and had a surgeon immediately
sent f T. The fracture, however, being a
compound one, and very painful, it was
resolved to try the effeot of animal magnet
ism. The young lady was put into a 3om.
nambulic state, and her arm paralyzed.
The surgical operation was tfie'n perform
ed without the slightest pain, though she
was perfectly conscious of what was going
on. The arm remains paralyzed and will
heal in that condition, withoift any of the
pain usually attendant on such woundsf
Millerism; The effects of MiMerism
in some cases is frightful. The Worcester
iJgis -ays that seven insane persons have
been committed to the State Hospital in
Worcester for derangement, represented by
their friends as resulting from attendance"
on the lectures of the Miller sect, and a
deep interest iff his theories and docirines.
The Augusta, Me., Banner says that no
less than four maniacs were brought to ihe
hospital in that pf&ce, last week, from one
town at the Bast, who were made insane
by the Miller doctrine.
The Rev. Mf. Brown, sf Calvinistic
Bapt ist clergy-man, and pastor : of a large
and intelligent society at Portsmouth, a
vowed himsel a convert to the Second Ad
vent doctrines of Mr. Miller, in i sermon
on Sunday last, to the great astonishment
of his congregation. He had asked a dis
mission' a short time since, which has" been
accepted.
Further Effects of Millerism XV t
find in the New Hampshire papers an ac
count of the death of Mr. Shortbridge,
aged fifty-five. He was formerly a mer
chanty of respectable standing in Ports
mouth, but, by rrjlsfortiine in Business had
been several years reduced in his pecuniary
affurs, and suffered much from an almost
incessant mental derangement. At the
day of his death he was imagining the time!
the 2nd Advent was to take place. He
had made a garb for the occasion, and with
'his he was waiting; until, becoming im
patient, He climbed to the top of a high tree.
There, mantled in his long white ascension
robe, he made one aspiring effort, but was
precipitated to the ground and instantly
died from a broken neck.

Preservative Composition. For com

melt twelve ounces of rosin in an iron pot or
kettle, add three gallons of train oil, and
three or four rolls of brimstone: when they

The St. DoniingO Revolution. By the

Practical Millerism. A letter from
Portsmouth, New Hampshire, says: You
probably have heard of the df ath of your
old acquaintance, John H. Short hdge. He
was in haste for the Coming of our Saviour,

flight to heaven, but landed on the earth
and broke his neck.

Something Comfortable. We find in
ihe New York American the subjoined
statement: The heirs of one of our oldet
and wealthiest citizens, who died a few
weeks back, on taking possession of his
house, discovered a large sum of money, of
which they had no previous knowledge
whatever. They continued their research
es until the sum of one hundred thousand
dollars were collected, (of which there is
no accotrnt left by the deceased,) part in
bank bills, but larger portion in checks,
one, two, and thrtfi years old,-upon our ci
ty banks, not c6itified, and yet every did
lar of which was promptly paid on presen
tation at the diffeient banks. Such wind
falls are rare enough."
