lifted in our regiment, and came with us to Corsica last summer; this girl, through a constancy very uncommon in beings of her spe. cies, came to release her lover; she had the appearance of a rich woman, and as she said, her fortune was made at Lyons, no doubt by means of some dupe,--where ever he may be. She in fact released her dear favourite; they then both departed; I have not learned what has become of them, nor do I trouble myself about the matter. That's the history of your pretended chevalier Duval and his espectable comfort.? cries: it was those of the person who had just seen Dulilot throw himself into the river. Every one was eager to fly to his assistance, but it was too late, he was dead when he was taken up. Such was the end of Dulilot, the victim of an inconsiderate love, nothing had been able to convince him of Nervalle's perfidy, he ran through a considerable fortune in worshiping this divinity, who abused his passion, and when his eyes were open to the light, despair forced him to renounce a life which no longer presented him. any prospect but shame and remorse. This is the most striking example of the excesses to which we may be led by a blind passion, and the fatal bandeau of love. (Concluded.) THE SLIPPERS; or the PUNISHMENT OF AVARICE. During this recital, Debar fixed his eyes on Dulilot: he saw him all at once turn pale and red, with shame and despair. He would not completely overwhelm him, and therefore was silent. The next day, he thought that the night having left his friend time to make suber reflections, he might wholly undeceive him by waimer & more urgent remonstrances. These overthrew Dultlot; he was unable to answer his friend; his dispair was strongly depicted in his face. Debar saw at last that truth had made an impression on his poor friend, and not choosing to push matters to extremity, he went away from him, after having affection-nothing but patches and rags, his ately squeezed his hand, and manifested his pardon in his eyes moistened with tears. Dulilot also went away. A quarter of an hour had now elapsed since this seperation, when Debar heard some A Turkish Tale. There dwelt in Bagdat en old merchant named Abow Cassam noted for his avarice, although he was very rich his cloaths were turban was of the coarsest cloth, and so dirty that it was difficult to distinguish the colour; but of all his whole dress, his slippers were what most merited the attention of the curious, the soles were the young hero with great earnestness" I am son to Paddy Brannon the tailor. An English sailor residing some time in Portugal was strongly solicited by a Catholic priest to change his religion which the tar boldly resisted. The Holy Father finding all arguments fruitless altered his mode of attack, and offered him a Six and thirty as the reward of his apostacy. The promis'd bribe rather stagger'd Jack's faith, and having desired time to consider of it till next morning, applied to a brother tar for his advice, which was given in the style of blunt honesty :---Dont turn to him, messmate for if your Religion was not better than his own and a Six and thirty into the bargain, he'd be dam'd before he would ask you to change. An amourous affusion. There is something in the rich endowment of a woman's love which exceeds all human bliss. How low is ambition, how poor are Riches, how insipid is pleasure when void of this enlivening spirit! Love cannot be deem'd a distinct passion, but rather the informing soul of every other sentiment or affection in the human breast. It refreshes labour, relieves care, and gives enjoyment to pleasure It not only inspirits our morals, but even our religion is cold philosophy without it. On Friday evening a fire broke out in the large fire-proof Store corner of Water-street and Burling slip; which extinguished before any material dam. age had been sustained. was On Saturday two small wooden buil. dings in Cross-street, near the Manhattan Water Works, were destroyed.
