The Subscribers have made arraugcinctits to
commerice, in January next, the publication of
a .li’IO)2lfll_Zj Illtzgrtziitc. under the above title.
From every quarter a high meeil ofliterary ex-
cellcncc has been granted to New England. On
every list oftlte names that stand high in ottr
country’s literature. those of her sons stand the
ltiglie;-t. Their ranks are numerous and strong,
and they are looked upon for the most eflicicnt
stipport of the literary perioiliczils in all parts of
the country. That iltey should be obilgcd to
ttirn abroad for the means of cotiiniutiicatitig
with the world, is indeed uitworthy of New
England; as if her sons and daughters either
could not or would not appreciate the value of
those who have grown tip among them and of
them. This has long been felt to be it dr-l‘icien-
cy and an evil; and it is with a view to fill this
void in our national literature, that, eticonragcrl
by those best able tojitdge of our wants and
ottr ability. without arty desire to produce a sec-
tional -work or to encourage sectional feelings,
we have determined to establish the jllistrclltziiy.
\Ve need only add, that we have not urtderta-
ken this work liglitly, or without the intention
ofavaiiittg ottrselvcsofall the resources so botto-
tifully open. Every exertion will be tttridc to
call out. li)t‘_[l1C literary department of the Mis-
cellany, all the talent to which we have just
alluded, and we have no doubt that we have
the sympathy of a large portion ofthe public in
believing, that with such resorces, this work
~niay be made as interesting. as useful. and as
ltiglily worthy the favor of an enlightened pub-
he. as any similar one in the country.
The publishers take pleasure in announcing
that NATHAN HALE, Jr. Esq-. has consented
to take charge ofthe editorial department oftlte
work, a gentleman in whom they place the most
implicit confidence, as being qualified in every
way to perform the labors iiicideut to sticlt a
station. No pains or expense will be spared to
make the Miscellany worthy oftlte public patro-
nage. Each number will cotitaiti a highly fin-
isltcd original steel eiigrating. for the execution
ofwhich the most skillful and eminent. artists in
this cotintry, as well as in Europe, will be eti-
gaged. Also a colored plate cftltc latest Paris
and Lonrlon Fasftioiis, obtained frotn the most
authentic sources abroad. The latter will be
accompanied by such descriptions and sugges-
tions, from a like source, as will niako tlietn in
the highest degree. intelligible and useful. Each
Number will also contain two or more pages of
new and popular Illtrsvfc. for the Piano Forte
and Guitar. which will be composetl or selected
and arranged expressly for the Miscellany. by
Prof. G. J. \Vcbb, oftliis city. ln short, we
‘ray safely promise to ftttnisli the reading pub-
lie, with a literary Magazine, no way inferior
to any similar work in Europe or American.
Tit mechanical c.t'cculion., New England need
not fear competiou, to say the least. from other
parts of the country. The Miscellany will
contain 48 pages of reading matter, and will
be printed on elegant paper, from a new and
beautiful type; and a Specimen Number will
be offered to the public as early as the first of
September next.’ The work will be published
on the first of each tnotitlt in every section of
the country, consequently each subscriber may
rest assured of receiving his or her copy, before
its contents can have been anticipated from any
other source.

any reduction. Payment always in rzclvrmcc.

“Gucci morning, madam,” said Arthur
Heai‘tlii'igl1t, as he entered the parlor and
advanced to Miss Wieluiitl, who was seated
in a handsoinerlziiiiask chair, in trifling coit-
versation with a young gentleman, who. at
the appearance of Arthur, seemed Sul‘,’il‘lSC(l,
and in return, coldlyacknotvledged a similar
salutrition.
“Good morning,” responded Miss Wieland.
“I liave called to have the pleasure of
ivaiting upon you to the exhibition. I per-
ceive, by the Jouritals ofthe day, it will close
to—morrmv.” I
' Miss \Vit,-land cast a look efconfusion tllllloi
gentleman with whom she had been in con-
verse at the entrance ofArthur, & the young
gentlemen looked suspiciously at each other.
A dead pause ensued.
“Shall I have the pleastii‘e'of youi‘societ_v
Miss Wieland .7” asked Arthur.
“ \Vhy, really, Mr. Ileartbrigltt,” answer-
ed Miss Wielarid, “ it had completely escap-
ed my memory, and I have just. promised
M r. Douglas, here. to accompany him to the
Floral exhibition." The gentlemen glanced
at each other sulkily, which, Miss Vi/inland
obser ting continued, “ Oh l I beg pardon ;
it had also escaped meyou were unacqnairited.
Mi‘. Douglas, Mt‘. I-Ieartbi'iglit—B/Ii‘. Heart-
bright, Jlli‘ Douglas.” and she elegantly
swung herself in the chair, and cast her eyes
over the pages ofa volume. The young
gerttlenien advanced towrirrls-each other, and
exchanged the cold and formal grasp of intro-
ducfionf
"1 atn sorry that ftfiss Wiel,and’s mcino-,
ry should have been so U‘(.‘flCll(?I‘OuS,” stiid
Arthur, " but perhaps Mr. Douglas will
waive his , ivitntion to my prior claim, and
join its in our visit to the. aciidctriy.”
A frown settlcd on the brow of Douglas,
while, in a proud tone he replied, " that de-
pends, sir, solely on the pleasure of Miss
i."v’inl:iiitl.”
“Exactly so," answered Arthur, “and by
her decision I am willing to abide.”
The young_lad_y was puzzelcd; she kitew
not how to answer; prevarictition could not
avail her; she had given her promise to
catch oftlicnt, and she could not reply with-
out offending one 01‘ both. At: length, after
a pause, she staininered out, “Settle it be-
ttvccii you, g'ent.lcrricn.”
The rivals were nonplusscd at this diplo-
matic answer, and fcelingit a point of honor
and pride that neither should yir>ld,cuch took
his sttttioii by the fireplace, while a breath-
lcss silence reigned in the flpZt1‘lm€‘nl,l)fOl{t‘n

How long‘ the ‘parties might liavc con-
tinued so, it is dificult to tell, had not Elain-
nrih, lifiss TVieland’s ivriitirtg wornan, enter-
ed, to inform her mistress that flfr. Fitzf:id-
dle waited to convey her in his carriage, on
a short country excursion,
The announcement acted_'like a shock of
electricity on Douglas and I-.leni'tbi'iglit—
The former seized his hat, which, in his
cortfusion, he dropped, and stooping to re-
cover it. brought his head in contact with
the corner ofthe piano. Arthur wished her
the adis-us of the morning, and muclt.cujoy-
mcnt frotn her excursion, and qtiitted thr-
room, was followed by Douglas, in not the
most placid ltuiitor, suffering as he..did from
cliagrin and the pain arising from his contu-
sion.
The two crest fallen swains, on reaching
the door, bch:-ld the, elegant equipagc of
Francis Fitzfurltllc, Esq , in waitiiig for 1T{iss
\"t7l(’l:‘tn(l, with the cfferiiinate owner reclining
in one corner of the carriage, from whose
person a thousand perfumes cxltitled to the
cont.-iminntion of the bland breezes of a beati-
tiful June moi'nin_r_r, at the same moment
ltinnah tiflcctedly told the servant that her
mistrcsswottld be with Mr. Filzslmrlrllc ini-
mcrliatt_-l"y.,
El€Z1t‘ll)l‘lgl]l2 and Douglas looked at each
other, and btirst into an immodemte fit of
laughter, and decscittling to the pavement,
Arthur‘ paryorling the lines of Pope, repeated
as follows:
“T'T7C(Ill/I. makes the man the want efit the
follow,
The rest is all but leather and pruncllo”—
and together they proceeded tip the crowded
pathway of BI'Ott(l\V'rty.
“ Confound that piano,” exclaimed Doug-
las, _“it has given rue something to remember
her for this month to come.”
“ Better remember her a month than to
have her fora lifetime,” said Arthur, gaily,
but your brow shows tokens ofdiscolormcnt
and ltickily here is my residence; will you
do me the favor to enter '2”
Douglas felt his pride. at this generous
offer, humbled, and all animosity to Arthur
to vanish. It is singular how calamity
makes acquaintance; how the heart clings
to a brother in triisfortune. It is it beautiful
principle implanted in -otir itatttrcs by the
all wise Creator, to make us know the help-
lcssness of our condition, by showing how
truly dependent we are upon each other.—
Douglas bowed and thanked him kindly,
and entering the dwelling, in a few minutes
oitr two heroes were snugly seated together.
A minirtturc case lay upon the table, part-
ly open, and as Douglas seated liitnself, he
recognized the liitined fe.'it_u res of Miss VVie-
land, which, Ht-artbright preceiving, rc-
rrtarkcd, "You see,I have a copy of your la-
dy love. I hope you are not offendcd”—
and he placed the tniniature in the hands of
Douglas.
“By no mcaiis," replied Douglas, pla-
cing it upon the table, as ifit had scorched
his fingers, “by no HIPEIIIS; I most willingly
concede to yott the preference. Pray when
do you hope to possess the original?”
“ VVhcn there is not another‘ woman to be
had in the tvorlt.”
At that momenta loud crash, followed by
the scream ofa female, burst upon their car.
, T
l'l,hey rushed to"the window, and beheld it
lady and gentleman tumbled frotn their car-
rittge by the breaking of the axle, and cont-
plcllly covered with the thick black mud of
B riarl we y.
“Heavens!” cried Douglas, “ it is llIiss
TVitI:itid."
“Arid Mr. Fitzftiddle also,” added Heart-
l’)l‘l.'.7llt, lauglting, and they raised the ivindotv
and looked extiltingly upon the scene, as it
tvas apparent that fright was the only suffer-
irigfnrlticli the lzidy expet-ienctgd,
As there was no store in the neighborhood
the cozichmztn knocked at the door of I~Icai't-
ltt‘i,gl’it, and requested permission for his
rrttistt-.i' and Miss \Vicland to enter. Fitz-
fatltle and our heroine knew not it was the
i’("Slilt‘nC6: of A rtltti l‘, and it may be easily be
imagiiicd that the feelings of the unlucky
pztit’\vet'e not soothed when they were re-
(:el\CCl by hitn at the door. He expressed
liisiegretat the accident, and hoped they
world be soon able-to proceed on their “mim-
£7‘-_7/.-’.7:ct1..i'si07t. ;” and conducting the lady to
an tparttrient, he was followed by Fitzfztrldle
rriiuut his hat, and part; of his coat, and en-
tirclycovercd with the (la/cctalile mud of
Broaltvay. Douglas, who had met the nu-
f0I‘lttl'ite couple at the door with Arthur,
follot-‘ed enjoyingtheir calamity, and almost
unttlle to rt-tain his incrrintent from Dl‘Pf-1l{-
iitg-’ot't into a burst. of laiigliter, but neither
Fit; tddlo nor Miss Viielund had, as yet,
poi‘ tivcd him, and it was only when they
i‘e:tvherl the apartment, the lady, almost a-
glialt, in a voice of shame and confusion
fitiijlycxclztitncd, "Ali! rift‘. Douglas!” and
sliulookcd unutterable things.
"e bowed politely, and Arthur having
ug: rt extended to them the liospitrtlity of
liisltouse, took the arm of Douglas, Sayln2',
“ Lmc, Douglas, shall we proceed to the
cxhlbition '2” Douglas bowed assent, and

A MAGNJ FICENT HUM BUG.
Men have heretofore mouopoliscd the bits-
iness of marrying, swindling their partners,
and then running away; but they have now
a rival inft-.riot' to none ofthem. The lol-
lowing account of a lady dcceivcr is copied
front the Rochester York Daily Adver-
tiser 2--
‘The public are cautioned in rctlation to a
certain woman, not unknown to fame, though
it be ill, who has made Rochester and its vi-
cinity the scene of her dcsigniiig OpL'l'ttll()l‘.S
for some three. or four weeks past. T’-Vho
she is, or where she came from, no one in
rerfity knows; at least these. do - not who
have been imposed upon by her, and who
ought to have known her best. , f
In person, she is full and of middle statut{e_
dresses richly, though evincing some lack of
taste, complexion
eyes blue, hair brown, and sornewhatpinclin.-'
ed to grcy—age about thirty-five. I And
hating a face which, though exhibiting some
marks of care, was not altogctliet‘ unprepos-
sessing, genteel in her address, t‘Ct'nt1t'ltztbly
intelligent, conversing well, and in conver-
sation always tipt and ready, it is not sur-
pl‘lSlDglZl]Elt.Sl1e succeeded so well itt her
wicked designs, and the only wonder is, that
devclopemcrtts were made as early as they
ivere-that her character was unmasked. &
it became necessary for her to tithe a hasty
leave ofacquaintances hastily made, and sun-
der as abruptly certain domestic relations
she had formed as abruptly as they were
entctjed into.
She represented ltcrself from England, .e
last from Toi'outo—a widow who had re-
cently buried her husband-—-—ltcr maiden
name was Ann Eliza Hunt. She had wealth
which was increased by the recent death of
an uncle and aunt, who had provided well
for her in their wills; under these flattering
auspices she formed the acquaintance of an
estimable young man in this city, and thus
farsuccceded in irrtposiitg upon hitn and his
relatives. After a week's intimacy, he made
proposals of marriage, which were accepted.
Tuesday evening, the 5th of August, was
the time appointed which should make him
ajoyful husband and her a blushing bride.
Preliminaries were all arrangcd—-but my
lady appeared rather coy, and was notdis-
posed to be bound by the silkcn tie, until
some marriage settlements were made. This
only increased the eagerness of my lord and
his friends, and by mutual consent all went
straight in search of lawyers.
None but the ablcst in the profession
would she dare confer with about her biisi-
ness; and her intended, conscious of the im-
portance of the trusts confided in him, to the
ablcst went-—an interview was had-—a set-
tlement ntade-21 plain unvtirnislied tale told
—decds were to be drawn. a jointure made,
and trusts ci'catc(l. Some little titneofcoursc
was necessary for this, and she was advised

not to get married until the next morning.
But the urgency of the case, the feat‘ do

fection to her lover, his devotion to her, his
eagerness to have two willing’ hettrts tirade

hastened the auspicious hour.
At her order, accordingly, at the hotel a
splendid wedding festival was provided. The
tables groaned beneath the lll.\lll‘lCS of every
cliine; there were ices from the north and
fruits froiti the sunny south. In ftXCl., all that

and my lady of l_1l1l)0l]t‘t(lt’(l wealth, and lter
now made happy stvain, rolled about town
in most ltixurious style. Every where they
stopped to obtain whatever struck the eye or
pleased the fancy. Nothing was wished for
that she did not obtain by the talismanic in-
flucnce she exercised over her doating hus-
lJi\ml ; nay more, she made orders every
wlicre. The ingenuity of the must fashion-
able miilitters were severely taxed to suit
her taste. but they did tltei r best, and suppli-
ed her with all she asked for. The tailors
:00 crime in for their share; they had noth-
ing good enough to supply the wardrobe of
hot‘ lord. Yet of such as they had, she
would have suits—itnd the sharp clink ol
slicrirs was hczi rd, as they went promptly
about their \Vm‘lt', with vague iilcas of the
power of wealth, and in unboundrd conti-
dcnce of the l'll‘.l)('S oftlte customer they had
thus fortunately fallen in with. A carriage
worth $500 tvus next ordered, and S‘Ct1l'Cl)
long and arduous made for a matchlt-ss span
]iIirt'oi‘s ofthe largest size and
most costly description were sought for arid
engrigotl. Most superb rrtaliogaity bedstettds
with all the appitrtcrtanccs, were purclttiscd
and ordered home, but all, all was unpaid for.
In this mariner at nurnerotis other places
about the city she stopped, and wlicre hm‘
wants were not very extravagant, she obtain-
t--d what site \\’lSl1€‘t"l for. To what extent lltt!
ltiw made her lttisbnttrl liable, to this moment
he docs not knoiv; bttt something new of her
l'«’lSCt'1illlt's is coming~ont cotistettitly, as he
finds by the bills pouring in thick and fast.
-Zut about 4 o'clock in the afternoon of
the 53th ‘-_[l)(‘ gave notice to her husband that
she tvis't‘.cd to go away on some allitir of im-
portriiice, and if he.;w(iuld not taltc it unkind
in her, she would go alone, inasmuch as the
peculiar nnttire ofthe business would httrdly
admit of lici‘ privacy being intruded upon,
even by her husband. Of course he con-
st-nterl. and she left, engaging to be back by
stindotvn. A short time after this, she was
seen in another carriage going down State
strect alone. "
Sunset came, bttt not she; bout‘-on hour
passe.-d aivav until deep into night; no tid-
ings came to the discortsrilattc ltusbnnd ofthe
lost fair one; and his mind was filled with
drcadfiil atixit-ty, lest she had met with some
accident.
There was doubts and dark suspicions in
the niitids of his friends that all was not
right; yet the husband disclaimed the possi-
bility of such it thing; so strong was the at-
tacltment between them; so (lt‘.m'lV did he
love her, the thing was inconceivable. No
never, never, would she, could she forsake
ltittt.
Nevertheless, investigrttions commenced,
6:. totvarrlsthe morning following. discoveries
were made sufficient to satisfy the most in-
-credulous, that the whole affair was a deep
and damning scltcme of fraud, villiany, and
impostu re. The woman has gone no one
knows where. Her acts have shown what
she is; and that such unpzirulled rascnlitv
should have been going on in this citv and
not be discovered until wounds are irtflictcd
that can never be -healed, is indeed astonish-
ing. ~
Mr. John Jones, of Hunter street, has a
wife that he cannot get rid of; he is sitdtlled
with most cxtinvngritit debts of her C0l')ll‘th'.t-
ing; he and his friends find themselves stript
ofall the ready cash they had. And last of
rill, and not least, mid perhaps not undeserv-
ing ‘mine host,’ where she stopped, unknown
to any one, lent her about $50 which re-
mains unpaid, together with a round tavcrn
bill. The wotttau turns out to be utterly
worthless and abandoned. The representa-
tion she has made that she had rrioncy de-
posited in the bank of Rochester, was entire-
ly false, and the clitnrix of her husbzind’s
disnppointrrtctit was cttppctl, when be pre-
sented zi check for-"M800, drawn by her, and
found she never had anyfunds there whatever.
Take the whole by and large, we look
upon it its a humbug of the first water, and
one the like of whiclt our staid city has not
seen in many a long‘ year. But wftcre,

Allzimncnt. of Kitotrlcrlga.—-'I‘he late Dr.
Olinthus Gregory, the friend and biographer
of Robert Hall, has mtidc this true and im-
portnnt remark: “ With a few exceptions,
(so few, indeed, that they need scarcely to
be taken into a practical estimate) any per-
son may learn anything upon which he sets
his heart. To ensure success, he has situ-
ply so to discipline his mind as to cheek its
vagrrincies. to cure it of its constant prone-
tiess to be doing two or more things at it time
and to compel it to direct its combined ener-
gies, sitntiltaiieously, to (1 single object, and
tltits to do one t/it'n,;;‘ at once, This I consid-
er as one of the most difficult. btit one of the
most useful lcssonsthrit rt young man can

NIAGARA, August 12th l84l; "
T/re I'II_"7'7)Lll of IVz'r1.,gara..——l have been
much interested in the story which is told of
the person who made himself it recluse, that
he might live upon his Iris Island, and con-
stantly enjoy the beauties ofthe surrounding
scenery. It is to be ‘found in all the guide
books, but as many of your readers. I know
have not read it, they may perhaps be enter-
taincd by :1 repetition of it.
It secms that in June ofl8'29, it well dress-
ed sti‘an7’gcT entered the village of Niagara;
on font. He was app:ii‘ently rt young man
and had with him a flute, a portfolio, and ti
book, which constituted the whole ofhis bag-
gage. At first he took tip his lodgings at a
small inn on the American side of the river,
but afterwards rcmovcd to a small cottage
‘rt-bo_iit 50 rods beloivthe great fall. He be-
came gradually very secluded in his habits,
and in the end withdrew almost entirely
from intercourse with men. He convei'sed
enough, however with those who approached
him, to show-that he was a man ofaccorn-
plisht-d mind ; he used several of the mod-
ern languages with flucncyand grace ; he
wns learned in the profourider principles of
science and art; he sketched and pztintcrl
with acctiracy and taste: and performed with
an unusual degree of skill on various musi-
cal instruments. Having travelled, also,
lover the greater part of Europe and the East
the was it lover of the sublime and beztutiftil
in natural scenery.
There were times whrn he would hold
no communication with men except bv
means of a slate; he would go with his beard
unshaven for several months together; his
head without covering, and his body clothed
in a course wollcn blanket, he would seek
the deepest solitude of the desert, and often at
mid night he might be seen btttliing in it
small pondjust above the great cataract, or
hanging by his hands and feet from a piece
of timber projected from the 'l‘crpian bridge,
as it is called, sortie distance over the torrent.
In the wildest and most tcrtipestuous days,
he would pass with a quick movement over
the most dangerous places of the neighbor-
hood.
On the 10th of June I831, he was obser-
vcd by the fclrymt-n Vt ho plies below the
fall, bathing in a favorite resort. It was the
last time he vas seen. Ills clothes were
found where he had laid them, near the wa-
tet‘ and :1 few days after his hotly was taken
front the river, below Fort Niagara. VVhen
an exrtmination was m:1(l(‘- into his but, his
dog, who had so often borne him company’
