however, through the interposition of their
friends, the matter was made up, and they
agreed to live with each other again. Ac-
cordingly they once more commenced house
keeping; but the first time they aatpdown at
their table to eat, the man remarked very
pleasantly, ‘ what fools we were to quarrel
about a paltry mouse.’ ‘A mouse!’ ex-
claimed the wife, ‘.,it was not a mouse you
dance’, itwas a rat.’ This enraged the man.
and he again declared that it was a mouse,
and that she was a fool, and that she uttered
a right down falsehood if she said it was not.
The fire was again kindled in a moment. They
left the table without finishing their dinner,
and after an hour’s altercation they determin-

The kind neighbor buttoned up his coat

The physicians stepped into a corner and

‘Will you be good enough to run for a

blistered,’ said Dr. W ms.
‘ Ah, poor dear husband,’ said the lady; ‘I
fear he never again will know his miserable

‘ Here she goes-there she goes!’ said the
landlord with a little more emphasis, and
with a more nervous yet determined waving

talkative man—-and when the doctor made
some casual remark, reflecting upon the
quality of the instrument he was about to
use, he replied—-

men, about these matters. If you have any
young lady in tow, or in view, to whom you
would appear interesting, the very best way
in which you can do so, is to give her a ser-
enade once or twice a week, especially when
the evenings are fine. Nothing so much
pleases a foolish girl—and they are all rather
‘soft,’ ou know, good reader—as a fine
serenatlb, on a fine evening, by a fine young
man. All you have got to do, is to get one
or two fiddlers--have your poetry by heart—
and at the accustomed hour, let her hear the
soft notes of your soft heart, as the issue
from your soft head, and float me odious
through the air,‘
‘Off in the stilly night.’
Or if you don’t like company, go alone-—
without fiddlers—and sing your lady-love a
stave or two, ‘ on your own book.’ You can
marry her in a week after. Heréfs a stanza
for you. A ~

"' In the following estimate of the intrinsic
value of thtimorus niullicaulisy in Ilie culture of
silk, I prese t nothing. but what any one. with a
little knoweldgo of the subject, may arrive at for
himself; lTlie circumstances alone,'througli
which it was elicited. gave it a peculiar interest.
Ibad heard it repeated from‘ various quarters.
and read hill the papers oftbe day. that the price
given for the morus multicaulis was an absurd
exliavagauce—-that the name in it was a wild
and ruinous speculation. in liunibiilg. drc. From
this cause 1 was induced to sit down soberly at
my desk. and descending to Ilie root of the mat-
ter, calculate what the tree was worlli. for the
production of silk alone ; discarding all specula-
tion on the profits of raising the trees for sale.-
And in doing this to bring my opponents to
ground that could not be disputed, by taking
known and established data for this calculation.
to wit: _
1. That one tree of the morus inullicaulis.
with its side branches, costing sixty cents, with
allowance for failures, will make at least sixteen
trees, by cuttings.

Roham. Pota.toes.—The introduction of the
Rohan‘Potatoes into this country, is as im-
portant in the vegetable way, as the breed of
Durham short horns is among Cattle. The
astonishing size of these Potatoes and their
great yield, constitutes their peculiar value,
especially as they have been found, upon ex-
periment, to be a most excellent eating Po-
tatoe. It may be recollected, that at the
Cattle Fair two years since, Mr. Colman,
the agricultural Commissioner, presented
Hon. Wm. Clark, Jr. with a big Rohan.--
The next spring, Mr. Clark allowed it to
sprout, before using it. The sprouts he
planted and then divided the Potatoe into as
many parts as there were “ eyes." These
were all used and the product of this Rohan
was one Bushel and a. half of fine Potatoes!
Some other experiments have been made
with them with equal success, and they have
been found, not only immensely productive,
but of a superior eating quality. They will
doubtless become universal, but not to the en-
tire exclusion, we trust. of that delicate little

A singular official notice has been issued
by the French Government on the subject of
Mexican privateers fitted out to cruise against
French Commerce. Whole parcels of Let-
ters of Marque, it is asserted,"have been sent
from Mexico to England and the United
States; and here it is said, there are depots
of Mexicans ready to embark on board Mexi-
can privateers. This may be so, but at any
rate people here know nothing about it.
The British Government in India are prose-.

We perceive nothing very remarkable
from Spain. From the general tenor of the

Cotton was rather lower, and in the prices
of grain there was no improvement.
There has been several heavy failures in

THE LATE SESSION OF CONGRESS,
Among the acts which failed may be rt-ck-
oned, as first among those which have at.‘
tracted the public attention, the bill known,’
as the Sub-Treasury bill, which after pass-
ing the‘ Senate was suffered to lie on the (R--
ble of the other House till the close of ill‘:
session, without its friends venturingso far
even to make a motion for its consideratioz.-.
In the list of Acts passed during the late
session, the rcader will find none making ap-
propriations for Fortifications, or for the sup-.
port of the Military Academy. The appro-.
riations for these objects were incorporated
in the bill making appropriations for support
of the army for 1839. An appropriation is
also contained in that bill for the defence of
the Niagara, Oswego, and Plattsburg fron-
tier; and an appropriation of 880,000 for de-
fence of the western frontier is included in the_
Indian appropriation bill.
The appropriations for the support of the
Post Office Department are included in the
Civil Appropriation act. No post road act
was passed at this session. -
No act for building or completing Light-'
houses was passed. The bill for that pur-
pose was never even read in the house.
Neither was any act for the impl'.~-'1“-.-'2‘
of Harbors passed at this session.

continuation of the Cumberland Road, .’ll-it)!’
