Suggs acknowl edges a change in her viewof things, produced by the lapse of years. The Captain's former vaga ries his little peccadilloes his occasional gal lantries she now considers as the venial errors of a somewhat extended juvenility. In fact the good old Jady feels some little pride now, at the recital of any incident tending to show the irresis tibility ol her liece lord, considered with reference to the softer sex. ' Bygones are bygones with her if Captain Suggs was good lookin' and sas sy, it was not her fault." The reader will ob serve that she ueos past tense Sugg fail, ulu ! as far as female conquest is concerned he stands how simply tottering, whitened, leaky-eyed, gar: ruloua old man. Mrs. Suggs, therefore, is no lon ger annoyed by allusion to his prowess in other days, and the tale of the Muscadine may, with propriety, be made public, ; t was bland September morning, in a year that need not be specified, that the Captain, stand ing in.view of the West door of the Court House at Dadeville, perceived the Sheriff emerging therq from, a bundle of papers in hand, and looking as if ha desired to execute some sort of a capias. The cnptain instantly bethought him, that there was an Indictment pending agAinet .himself for gaming, and began to collect his energies for an emergency. The Sheriff hailed him at the same moment, nd requested him to ''hold on." ... Stop, Ellis right, '.har in your tracks, as the bullet aaid to the bucK," Suggs responded "them dockyments look senermw T ' "No. use," said the office?'' sooner or later yon mint be taken ; dog-face Billy Towns is here, and he'll go your security," ; : . . . : M Keep off, I tell you, Ellis j.

Right j turdy the pony bears his master on, but tlie bay i is overhauling him fast ! They near the creek! He has him! no! the horse runs against the pony falls himself projects his rider into the thicket on the right and knocks the pony and its rider into the stream ! . It happened that, by the concussion or some other cause, tlm girth of Captain Suggs' saddle was broken ; so that neither himself nor his saddle was perfectly on Button's back, when they reach ed the water. It was no. time to stop for trifles, however; so leaving the saddle in the creek, the Captain b strode the bare back of his panting ani mal and made the best of his way onward. He knew that the Sheriff would still follow, and he therefore turned from the road at right angles, skirted the creek swamp for a mile, and then took a direction by which he would rca,ch the road a gain, four ji five miles from the scene of his re cent submersion. . The dripping captain and hie reeking steed cut a dolorous figure, as they traversed the woods. It was rather late in the season to make the hy drophatic treatment they had so lately undergone agreeable ; and the departure of the Captain from Dadeville had been too unexpected and hurried to allow the slightest opportunity for filling his quart tickler. 'Wonder,' said he to himself, 'if I won't take a fit afore I git any more or else have a whole carryvan of blue-nose monkeys and forty- tail snakes after me and so get a sight of the menajjerie 'thout payin' the fust red cent ! Git up, you d n Injun !' With the last words, Simon vigorously drove his heels against Button's sides, and in a half hour had regained the road. Scarcely had Captain Suggs trotted an hundred yards, when the sound of horse's feet behind him caused him to look back. It was the Sheriff. . Hello! Sheriff! stop !' said Suggs. The Sheriff drew up his horse. I've got a proposition to vnake to you ; you can go home with me, and that-1 can give bond.' . ' Very well,' said the Sheriff. ' But hands off until we git thar, and yon ride fifty steps ahead of me,for fear of accidents that's the proposition.' . V ' Agreed !' ' Not so fast,' said Suggs, ' thar's a condition.' What's that?' ' Have you got any liquor along?' Tlje Sheriff pulled out a Uack bottle by way of reply.- y ' V. ' . Now,' said Captain Suggs, ' do yon put the bottle on that stump thar, and ride out from llie road fifty yards, and when I get it, take your pcr sition in front.' . TheRe manoeuvres were performed with much accuracy, and the parties, being ready, and the Captain one drink ahead , 1 For rard, march !' said Suggs. In this order, the Sheriff and the Captain wend ed their way, until they arrived at the crossing of Eagle Creek, It stream having ft miry swamp on each side. As his pony was drinking, an idea popped into the Captain's head which was imme diately acted upon. He suddenly turned his pony s head down stream, and in half ft minute was out of Sight. ' . .-; ".

He plunged Into the swamp.with the intention of head ing him, but tlie mud was so soft that after floun dering about ft little while, he gave it up, and re turned to the road, cursing as much for the loss of his bhtck btttle, as of the Captain. ' ' Hello, Ellis ! shouted Suggs. Helle, yourself I ' Don't yon try that swamp no more ; it'll mire butterflies, in spots!'. . : ' . .

On the morning after the occurrence of the ad ventures we have related, Captain Suggs sat in a long train built Indian canoe, wnich was moored to the North bank of the Tallapoosa river. Near him was Miss Betsy Cockerel!. She sat facing the Captain, on a board laid across the gunwales of the boat. Miss Betsy was a bouncing girl.plump firm and saucy ,with a mischievous rolling eye, and ft sharp word forever at her tongue's end. She seemed to be coquetting with the paddle he had in her hand, and occasionally would strike it on the water, so as to be-spriukle Captain Suggs, much to his annoyance. . . , 'Oh, Captain you do fersuude me to promise you so hard. And Jim Sparks says you are married ; and if you ain't you meught 'a been, twenty years ago ; you're old enough,' (splash !) 'D n it, mind how you throw your water! Jim Sparks is a trilling dog if I have got a wife Bet sy, she is going fast,' , 'Goin' what; !' asked Betsy, striking the water again. .... 'Confound your paddle ! caB't you keep it still ? Providence is goiu' to'take her home, Betsy she's dwindled away to a shadder, with that cough and one thing and another. : She ain't long for this world,' he added mournfully ; 'and if you, , Betsy, will only mako up your mind the devil take that peddle ! you'll turn over the boat and throw me in the river ! make up your mind lo step into her shoes, it looks like it would sort o' reconcile me to lose her' and here a tear leaked out of each cor ner of the Captain's .eyes. ; ; 'Oh Captain," said Betsy, half shutting one eye, and looking quizzical ; 'thar's so many good look in' young fellers about, I hate to give 'em up. 1 like you Captain, but thar's Bill Edwardsteand Jet Wailis, and Jim Sparks, asdV- i 'Good lookinT and 'Jet Wailis' and 'Jim Sparks! ; .

A hugo muscadine vine enwrapped the oak in tilery part, its branches and tendrils covering it like net work. Tlie grVpes were now riKJ, and hung over th river " '-; :i '.-!... . . irt bacehapnal prtifuitkin,'-i ..j ; i-j" 'D n the grapes !' Said Suggs, angrily; 'let us go on '.' : 'Keep cool,' said the Sheriff, 'I'll fill my pockets first. . 'Be in a hurry, they, and if you will gather the d d things, reach up and pulldown them big 6unches, up thar' pointing to some fine clusters higher than the Sheriff could reach, as he stood up in the boat 'pull the vines down to you !' The Sheriff tried, but the vines resisted his ut most strength : so crying 'steady !' he pulled him self up clear of the boat, and began to try to estab lish a footing iunonj the foliage. At this moment Captain Suggs made no remark orally, but bis eye said to Betsy, as plainly as eye could talk, 'hit her a lick back, my gall !' Silently the paddle went into the water, Betsy leaning back, with lips compressed, and in a sec ond, the canoe shot ten feet out from the tree, and the Sheriff was left dangling among the vines ! 'Stop your blasted jokes!' roared the oSicer. 'Keep cost, old Tap-my-shoulder !' thar's jist the smallest grain of a joke in this here, that ever you seed. It's the coldest sort of airnest.' 'What shall I do? How shall I get out of this?' asked Ellis, piteouMy. 'Let all go, drop in the water, and swim out,' was the reply. 'I can't swim a lick how deep is it ?' Suggs seemed to ruminate, and then repliec 'From say fifteen yes, at least, fifteen to a bout twenty-live feet. Ugly place ?' 'Great God,' said poor Ellis, 'you certainly won't leave me here to drown my strength is failing already.' 'If I don't,'.said the Captain, most emphatically, 'I wish I may be landed into a thousand foot h II,' and saying a word to Betsy, they shot rapidly a cross the river. ' Kissing his companion as he stepped out of the boat Suggs sought Button who was tied in a thick' et, near by, and mounting pursued his homeward way. . - 'JVerer despair ' he said to himself, as he jogged along 'never despair-! Honesty, a bright watch out, a hand in your fingers and one in your lap, with a little grain of help from Providence, will al ways fetch a man through ! Never despair ! I've been hunted and tracked and dogged like a cussed wolf, but the Lord has purvided, and my worst in- any has tuck a tree ! Git up Button, you blasted, flop eared injun !' . THE TWO SEXES. . The following true and elegant paragraphs are txtraeted from an article by Mrs. Sigourusy,whose mind is the dwelling of light and beauty. "Man might be initialed into the varieties of nee dle work; taught to have patience With the feeb leness and waywardness of infancy, and to Bteal with noiseless step about the chamber of the sick ; and woman might be instructed to contend for the paha of science; to pour forth eloquence in Senates or to " wade thro' fields of slaughter to a throne." Yet revoltings of the soul would attend this vio lence to nature V this abuse of physical and intel lectual energy, while the beauty of social order would be defeated and the fountains of earth's fe licity broken up. "We arrive, therofore, at the conclusion. Tlie sexes are intended for different spheres, and con structed in conformity with their respectives desti nations, by him who bids the oak brave the fury of the tempest and Alpine flower lean its cheek on the bosom of eternal snows. But disparity does not necessarily imply inferiority. The high places of the earth with their pomp and glory, are indeed accessible only to the march of ambition or the grasp of power ; yet those who pass with faithful and unapplauded zeal though their humble round of duty, are unnoticed hf the 'Great Task Master's eye,' and their endowments, though accounted poverty, amongn, prove durable riches iu tlie kingdom of Heaven. - A ROYAL ROMANCE. At the gfand and brilliant ball given by Prince Schwartzberg, the Austrian Ambassador at Paris, in the year MO, in celebration of the marriage of Napoleon with Maria Louisa, at which the Emper or and illustrious persons were present, it is well known that a most destructive fire broke out in one' of the temporary buildings erected for the occasion by which the young and beautiful hostess and scv eral other jiersons were burnt to1 death; and many seriously injured. One of the visiters at this ba'l was the then Dowager Duchess, of Savoy Carig nan, mother of Charles Albert, ex-King of Sard -nia. This lady, prevented bv the ereat confusion from getting out in time, found herself in one of the saloons burning on all sides. When in this most perilous situation, and almost snffoeated, she was accidentally discovered by her courier, who resolutely rushed through the flames into the room, took his mistress in his arms and jumped from a window on the first floor to the ground. By this heroic conduct he broke both his legs, but Ills' ' Duchess was unhurt. Her life having been thus miraculously saved through the courage of her cou rier, she, of course, paid him all possible care and attention during his illness ; and when he had re covered from his accident she married him. lis re ceived afterward from some Italian Prince the till of Count Moutelart ; and ever since they have been living together, but not very happily, in farioui parts of the Continent, and are now in Paris. - O.SHE WOULD'NT MARRY A MECHANIC. A young man commenced visiting a young, wo man, n ltd appeared to be well pleased. One even-1 ing he called when it was quite late, which led tlie girl te enquire where he had been. v " I had to work to night", "Do you work for a living?" enquired the- as tonished girl. " Certainly," replied the young man I am a mechanic." ..- " My brother does'nt work, I dislike die name of a mechanic ;" and she turned up her pretty little nose. ;.'". That was the lust time tlie young mechanic vis ited the young woman. He is now a wealthy man, and has one of the best of women for his wife. The young lady who disliked tlie name of a me chanic is now the wife of a miserable fool a reg- l-ul&r vagrant about grog shops and she, poor,uiis- erahle girl, is obliged to take in washing iu order to support herself and children. ,f ' .

REMARKABLE CASE OF FECUNDITY, Four childreh at a bikth. Mrs. Moore wife of David Moore residing at No. 139 Washington Market Place, Southwark, (Shippen treet, be- twcea Crab and Fifth north side,) yesterday gave birth to four children! The infants are all boya.ar.d they are as fine, pretty and healthy-looking babies as were almost ever seen. One was born about 10 o'clock, A. M., and another about noon, the third about i P. M.nd the fourth about 1 in the evening. The third child was delivered dead: the others alive. and the latter are as lively and natural to-day as many Infants a month old. The children are all as near the same size as could well be imagined, weighing each about five pounds. Thus it will be perceived that they are as big as the average run of children at the ord! nary single births. The three that are living ex hibit every symptom of thriving and doing well. The condition of the mother is astonishingly fav orable, and the physician and nurse anticipate no danger from the painful and protracted parturition she has passed through, nnder cirenmtance so ex- j traordinary. Her accoucheur is Dr. A. IL Graham. On enquiry, we find the case to be a remarkable one. The mother Is a woman about 29 years of age, a natiye of Ireland. She has had two hus bands. Her first husband, whose name was Bell was an Irishman; and a middle aged man. She was married to him about ten years ago. Her present husband, to whom she was married about nine months since, is a young man, only 21 years old. , He is a carpenter by trade, but is now en gaged in bottling, and. keeps a little shop where ha resides. , '. - - . . Mrs. Moore had six children by her former hus band, at three births. At the first birth she was delivered of two a boy and a gi rl. The boy is liv iqgraud is now eight year of age. At tlie sec ond birth, hc was delivered of a single child a girl which ta living. At the third birth she had triplets two boys and a girl.. The girl still ur- vives, and is five year of age. The surviving children are hearty, and some of them have sur vive severed attacks of malignant disease.' ' ' The case is an interesting one to the physiolo gist and the scientific and medical men. , It has created a great aensatic among the residents of the imrmxliate vicinity of its occurrence, and the house of the parents hat all day, been run. down with female visitors, while excited and curiuus' crowd of men have blocked up the- sidewalk, in front of the door. As the new spreAd, people from every part of Southwark and the souther section of the city geneially, have flocked to the pfaee to gratify thoir eager curiosity ; and numbers who doubted tlie story have been there to satisfy them selves of its truth. - v ' 1 .

We have just been informed that this notorious personage, after his late escape from the Theatre here, made tracks to Petersburg, and from thenc to North Carolina, where he joined a Circus com pany, as a driver, and returned to the "Cockade." From there, he paid a visit to his wife in Charles Citycounty,-remained a few days, and -then, in Company wilh his"better half," set off for a neigh boring wharf on the river, intending doubtless to emigrate to more genial climes. On nearing the place of final departure, Calvin discovered a large' number of persons gathered about the steamboat, and having an aversion to "crowds,"' ordered the driver to take him to th next wharf, about a milo further down. But in the manoeuvre he wa rath er slow, for a free negro standing by recognised -him, and gave the word, when several men, armed with fowling pieces, started to overtake and arrest him. r Morgan's good lady had kept her eyes skirt- nsd, and on suspecting the Intentions bf the pur-- suers, gave berlord the wink, wheat once jumped from the vehicle and calling on hii ,'?gs to do duty made track far a neighboring swamp. Seme of the pursuers, finding it impossible to overtake the scoundrel by flight, fired at him, and tlie probability is that he was cverely if not mortally wundedia hi hat, which fell at the crack of the gun, wat well punctured with shot; but he was not to be s easily stopped.
