Thomson MISCELLANY. THE PROMISSORY NOTE. A Uerman LSnron, Von V ,at pres ent residing at Parts, was some tow years since living in baronial ease ; at his Castle of F , situated in a somewhat secluded but romantic district of his native land. On the score of worldly possessions, fortune, had smiled most favorably on the herb of our narrative- but, by way of amend, na tuie had been proporuonably inauspicious ns regarded his personal appearance, and the adornments of the outward man. in sober truth, the Baron Von " D was about the ugliest man 'hat Germany has produced for the last century and a half at the least; so ungainly, indeed, was his ap pearance, that, w;th a full consciousness of his inferiority irilhis respect, he lived in a manner secluded from society, to mix in . which his rank and station otherwise folly , entitled htm. Like his storied,, prototype, however, Xrinee Ricquet with-the-Tufi, our- . baron's rude exterior was but the husk that covered a lender heart, sensitively alive to . the bewitching influence of the fairer sex. In plain English, the Baron Von; D ft II over head and ears in'Ibve a predica ment from which, even the potentates of this our nether world, to say njthing of Teutonic barons, are occasionally not ex empt. A young and beautiful girl, the daughter of a gentleman of goodly pedi gree, but of slender fortune, living "in his immediate neighborhood, was the object of his adoration the cynooure of his reveries. Thenceforth his mind, bis every .thought, became fixed, absorbed as it were, equal ly divided, between her slyph-like image and hia beloved meerschaum : nor is this, . by the way, by any means a disparaging compliment to ine lany, wnen speaKing oi a German lover. Having by a mighty effort of resolution, such as the tender pas sion can alone inspire, surmounted the bash ful diffidence to which we have before a I luded, the barort made his proposals in form, -which, on the part of the parents of the young lady, were most favorably and glad 'ly received. With the lady herself, how ever, matters fell out far Ies3 prosperously; a cold reception to bis proposal, and a chil ling demeanor, afforded but too certain an indication that his suit was disagreeably and bis attentions .irksome Still haunted by the painful consciousness of his person al defects, the baron was very naturally led to attribute his failure to that cause. A far different motive, however, lurked at the bottom of the young lad,s conduct .- ' A cousin (oh! these cousins!) had long been, in'secret, the favored suitor; but the nar rowness of whose prospects in life bad hith erto precluded all hope of his wishes meet ing with the parental sanction. The Baron Von D -was one evening chair, in the spacious hall of his ancestral dwell ntr, in one of the wide recesses of the huere crothic chimney, before the dull em bers of a wood fire, smouldering, like his owu illstarred love, in a shapeless heap, in sole'companionship with his beloved and inseparable meerschaum, his' second pas sion musing in sad and melancholy reve- ry on ureunatable composition and tnougnt iess yanity of the femala heart, when half mentally and half audibly he ejaculated his willingness to sacrifice the better por tion of his fortune in exchange, if that were possible, for the boon of personal attraction and exterior endowment. Suddenly, in the xlim twilight, and through the dense volu mes of smoke, curling in rapid succession from the volcano ef his pipebowl, he per ceived a tall and singularly accoutred fig ure standing erect beside him, as though it had issued from one of the huge . gothic "mouldings. .Somewhat, startled at the ap pearance of the unexpected visiter, he was about to call for his attendants, when the stranger, with a polite bow, and irt a, voice which, although, of peculiar tone, - yet be tokened no hostile purpose, thus addressed hira : ' lMy visit, Herr Baron, is perhaps some what unceremonious; but I come with a friendly intent. I am well aware of the subject of your ptesent thoughts : are yoa willing to abide by them ' "' 'My present thoughts I why I who in'the devil's name - -v Hush? mildly interrupted the visiter; the least eaid on that head perhaps the belter. But I have no time for explanation. If you are sincere in your purpose, I have the power of gratifying your wishes. Of that you may rest perfectly assured. Only it is requisite that you should sign this lit tie document, (producing a slip of, paper. 'A document! and what sort of docu ment V cried the bewildered baron A mere trifle.' responded his interlocu tor: 'merely a memorandum of our lmle transaction. I am a man of ftw words. So, iTyon are in earnest, let us proceed to business. 1 To every person but yourself you will henceforth appear a perfectly al tered man. Your suit will be accepted you know in what quarter. Are you con tent ? Answer, on the instant, or the oppor nuy will be lost to you for ever lM The baron, as we may well imagine. felt some little misgiving. But the tone the manner, the whole demeanor of the etranser was imposing. That he possess ed the power of diving into the most hid den thoughts of the human mind was clear from the short colloquy that had just taken place. Why should he not possess the power lie mentioned? Beside, the oppor tunity might never occur again. In t word, what, between surprise and bewi! dennent at the siransre and, sudden occur rence the brightness ot the prospect thus unexpectedly opened before him, and last, certainly not least, a no inconsiderable bias toward superstitions credulity, he a raxed his name to the proffered document. Whereupon the stranger, with another, po lite bow. disappeared in one of the dark recesses of the hall .. The baron, recovering in. some degree from his dream, for such he at hrst ima gined it-to be, albeit he, on the other hand, felt perfectly satisfied of his beinjr broad awake, after musing for a few moments on his late adventure, resolved to put the facf of his metamorphosis to an immediate test. He rang for his attendants. I he sum mons was obeyed, and the servants made their appearance. Irt the evident surprise depicted on.their countenances, he read an assurance; of some remarkable change having really taken place in his outward form. He" consulted his looking-glass, but to his own eye no alteration whatever seem ed la have. supervened. ' ....ibis be iecolleci ed. was ia strict accordance with the stmnffcr's undertaking. The following day the baron lost no time tn still turtner assuring ramsea tt tne re ality of the. auspicious change in his ap pearance : on some trifling pretext, he sum moned together his whole household, and presented himself among them. This time there was no room left for doubt; on the matter, b tarn whisperings and other in dications of surprise, one or two of the more confidentially employed among them. ventured on a respectful congratulation to their master on the manifest and surprising improvement that bad so suddenly taken place in his person. Full of the most pleas-J ing anticipations, and elate with hope, be ordered his equipage, ana paid a morning visit at the house of bis hitherto obdurate love. ' jHerp,jtoo, as though rby magic, he found that a most" propitious change had taken place. His reception by. the fair one was a favorable as it had previously been discouraging. Ia short, the happy day of union was arranged, and nothing now seemed wanting to his felicity; The evening preceding his edting-day" found the Baron Von D -seated, as be- fore." in hi antique chair, "in the self-same corner of the huge gothic chimney-piece, and whiffing the perfume of his faithful meerschaum. But how different' the tone of his thoughts and the subject of his med itations. All was now alluring hope and bland anticipation. Imagine, however,his surprise, w-hen, feeling a hasly lap on his shoulder, he turned round and behind his quondam mysterious visiter at his elbow. - " There was one little circumstance i for got to, meution at our last interview," said the stranger your wish as to a favora ble change in appearance has, you know, been gratified, and your suit has been suc cessful " Should you, however, persist m espousing the object of your attention, you will fall a lifeless corpse on the very steps of the altar. Be careful, therefore. The young lady ia secretly espoused to her cousin F Take my advice : renounce in public all claim to the hand of the lady, and. recommend her parents to sanction her union with her cousin. Mark me! it is the only course you have left I" 4 The poor baron would fain have remon strated with his visiter; but he had disap peared as before. At first he was tempted to hazard thd issud;'but reflecting that as one part of the drama, bad already come to pass, the denouement might possibly follow with equal certainty, he wisely re solved on following the stranger's advice, however unpalatable ; and this resolution be carried into effect the next day. Dusgusted with the scene of his disap pointment, the Baron Von D having arranged his affairs in Germany, shortly afterward retired to Paris, arid i.i the gay eties of the capital had nearly lost sight of his adventure, when lately, to his surprise, he received a legal summons to pay 100,s 000 francs and three years' interest, on a promissory note. In vain the baron protest ed that in the" whole course of his life he had never affixed his name trj any security of the kirrd. The note was produced 'with his genuine signature attached. It was then only that his former adventure recur red to bis recollection, and that the whole mystery began gradually te unfold itself. A trick, aj the reader may by this time well imagine, had been dexterously plaved off on the baron's credulity, by bribing the household, and by preconcerted arrange ment with ihe young lady. "The main in cidents of the plot were easily contrived, credulity and a pre-disposition for the mar vellous did the rest. The foregoing narrative, however ro mantic and improbable it may appear, is nevertheless, but the succinct outline of an actual occurrence, the particulars of which are shortly about to engage the attention of the legal tribunals in ..France. The ir- :nm stances recall to mind some of 'the most picturesque legenas oj necromancy and diablerie of the middle ages. BRICKS. , 50,000 &? NORTH River rrd. For snle low GEO HAKlUss. 119. uec. w.

A CERTAIN DISEASE. VVhen Hie mifguided and imprudent votary sof pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of this painful dinease, it too often happens that aniil-tim- ed sense of shame, or dread of discovery, deters him from applying to those who, from education and respectability, t an alone befriend him, delay ing till the constitutional eysmptoms of this horrid disease make their appearance, such as ulcerated eore throat, diseased nose, noctural pains irr the head and limbs, dimness of sight, douthoss, nodes on the Ehin-bones and arms, blotches on the head, face and r xtremitips, progress on with frighttul ra- uiuiiy, mi m mk me paiare or tne moutn or the bonce of. th nose tall in. and the victim of thia wful disease becomes a horrid object of eomniin- serstion, till death puts a period lo hisdrcadful suf ferings, by sending him to "that bourne from whence no traveller returns.'' To FUch thcrefo-e. lice in the lirst Hofpuaisin hurope and America, he can confidently recommend a safe and speedy cure to the unfortuna'e victim of this horrid dis ease, it is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims lo this dreadful disease, swing to the un skilfiilneesot ignorant pretenders, who, by the use of that deadly poiaf n. mercury, ruin the constitu tion, and -ither send the unfortunate sufTerer to an untimely gruve, or clee make the residue of life mi eralie.

Such persons, before contemplating MARRIAGE, "Should reflect that a sound mind and body are tb muPt necessary re qu it-it e to promote connubial happineiss.
