Enjrl'shinan, from gaminsr. love affairs, and other such gold scilier- inr eiiiovineirts. had so nearly reacneu lUe drees of his jrreal grandfather's hereditary porunn, that he could calculate the tlepar unir hoof of his last irttinea. As one even ino hn was reiiirninjr home from one of those haunts of dissipation, which he hu- bitually frequented, f.-eble in body .and in mind, and for the first time in his life ens tins a firm look upon the ruin of his fur tune, h could not well determine whether ho should end hi troubles by drawing a iriirirer, or by throwing himself, inio ih Thames , While he thus wnvered between fir and water, the very profound idea occurred to him. not t lay indent hands upon himself, but to alio- himself to he conduced out ol the labyrinth of poverty by the fair hand of some wea thv bride. With this conso ling thought he went to bed ; and already in his nocturnal visions t.ie rapid racers flew, ihj h;ir girls frisked around him, b th of which he was happy in .thinking he might in iiiiiaii) in future upon the dowry of his wife. t On the following morning, he reflected anew upon his plan, and found it tinexcep- 'tinnalile in every puint, excepting h very sli-'hl circumstance of not knowing when or where he was to find the rich heiress he wanted. In London, w ere all the woild regarded him as a spendthrift, it was not mce to he thooent of. He saw lhat, for the future, he must tLrow his nets out else where. After much cogitation ami searching, he nt last hit upon an old rich coloue , livinir upon his own estate, about twenty miles from the capital, who fortunately had no acquaintances in London, and was the fa ther of an only daughter; t - Into the house of this gentleman, j by means of a friend, to whom tie promised I half the booty, lie got hitns If introduced and received. The daughter of the colo- inel was an awkward country girl, with round chubby cheeks, like Reuben's cher- ubims, and looked p rticularly odd in the han l-me-dowit attire of her sainted mother, winch did not at all fit her. and was of course not of the most fashionable cut Her mind too, was as attractive as her at tire. She could only talk of hens and geese, ami wh'-n any o:her topic came above board, her conversation was limited to -yA8) y-s," or a 4no, no ;r all beyond this Eeemrd to be smful This wooden puppet was indeed a migh ty contrast to the t-prtghtly, gi y, and lively nymphs ith wh m the young Briton had, until this period, been toying ;. butphe care folly confined to the solitude, of his own bosom the disagreeable feeling of this heav-en-aud-earth distant difference. His rial-' tering tongue called the girl's silliness re lestml innocence, and her red swollen cheeks he likened 10 Ihe teauty of the full blown damask rose. The end of the song was, he turned to the father and s :ed warm ly for his daughter's hand The colonel, truring his ixty years' ca reer though the world, had collected this uch knowledge of mankind himself, that however shly Ihe young had masked him self, he could, nevertheless, discoer the lortuna hunter peeping through, the dis guise At first, therefore,, he thought of peremptorily remains? him permission to woo his daughter; but on the other band he thought, the youth is fashionable, and perhaps 1 may be doing hun an injustice; he as yet betrays no anxiety about the por lion, and why should the girl, who is mur riageable, remain longer at home.

The road ran through a forest,-and scarcely had they fairly entered it, when two horsemen darted out "fiom vthe tuush-wood, with maiks upon iheir fa res, and mopped ihe carriage. One of the persons watched th postilion, with a piesented pistol, while the other ap proached the coach window, and said.

For certain reasons, it is quite iintnaleii il Hi us, and, moreover, no one si. ad ever know your tiecision!" The bridegroom did hot think long about the matter, before he whispered, "Take the biid !'' "Uiother," cried the robber to his ac complice, "we shall take the bride." In the twinkling of an eye, . the sol dier sciz' d his genii son-iu-law by the neck, shook him violently, exclaiming, in a thunder voice, 'Ha f villian ! so my conjecture was not unfounded, thai yon cared not for my - daughter, but merely lor her "for tune !

"Go down ami find out his name, Jim ;" said Mr.Pit-rce, "and if ihe old fellow wants to see me very much, -tell ;itu to come a gam; I'm very buy now." The man went down and Mr. Pierce re turned his writing. ''Jevil a bn he'll go, yer honor," said the waiter, again looking in, gunning prodigi ously ; "tie sas his name is Dow, and most see you, because he's got a message lor you." "Well, Jim," said Mr. Pierce, with the gooil tumor that always characterised him, 'show hi.ji up." In a few moments the gaunt and sun burnt Wandering Jew," as he was called, stood in the chamber, where he was cordial ly received by its occupant, whj invited him to be seated until he should finish his writing. The strange man complied, and when the writing wus completed, Mr Pierce informed him lhat official duties called lii.n 14) the Cauiloland invited him t. walk thither with him.

Mr. Pierce, with the politeness of the true gentle :an, made no tjrn by which it could be inferred that he felt ashamed of his companion ami walked on with him to he steps of the Capitol. Here ihe prophet stopped. He had, up to this n.oment, said nothing of ihe mission of which he had informed the servant, but now he said : , "Friend Franklin, I have something t tell you that affects your coming life.

After this, you will be sent back'here asm in, but not as Congressman, and then' you will oe sent here no more But a higher mission awaitsyou ; you will become a minister of the Gospel of Chrisr." Saying thi, he turned away suddenly, without a further word of explanation, ami the President-to-be walked up the steps and entered upon l.is duties, daughing at the prophecy so strangely made, which he re arded as the ere figment of a diseased brain.

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. There is an evil habit sometimes indulged in by boys, in solitude, nfien crowing up with them to manhood t and which, if not reformed in due lime, noi only begets serious obstacles to matrimom al happiness, but gives rise to a series of pro irarted, insidious, and devastating affections. Few of those who give way to this pernicious practice areawsreof the consequences, until I hey find the nervnns system shattered, feel strange ant. nna countable sensations, and vague fears in the mind. (See pog s, 27, H, 29, of Ur. K's book on " Self Preservation.") The unfortunate thus affected becomes feeble, is unable to labor with accustomed vleor, or to ap ply his mind lo study : his step is tardy and weak; he is dull, Irresolute, ond'eneagea even in his snorts with less energy than usual. If he emancipate himself before the practice has done its worst, and enter matrimony, his marriage i. unfruitful, and his sense tells him that this is caused hv his early follies These are considera tion vhich should awaken the attention of all who are similarly situated REMEMBER.

A CERTAIN DISEASE. - W'hen the misguided and imprudent votary of pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of .his' painful disease, it too often happens that aniiKtini ed sense of shame, or dread of discovery, deters iiitn from applying to those who, Irom education1' and respectability, can alone befriend him, delay -ingtill the constitutional symptoms of this horrid disease make their appearance, such as .ulcerated sore throat. diseased nose, noctural pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight, deafness,-nodes on the shin bones and arms, blotches on the head t face and extremities, progressing with frighilul ra -pidity, till at last the palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fail in. and the victim of ibis awful disease becomes a horrid object ofcomfnlf seration, till death puts a period to his dreddlui su 1 ferings, by sending hiui to "that bourne Iron whence no traveller returns.'' To such therefore Dr. Johnston pledges himself to preserve the most inviolable seciety; and, from bis extensive prac tice in the first Hospitals of Europe and America he can confidently recommend a safe and speedy cure to the unfortunate victim of this horrid dis ease.
