F., at Woodstown, determined to have their lodge-foom done up clean and nice; it was resolved unanimously that Mrs. K—— should be employed to do this job. After the meeting adjourned, the guar- dian, who knew the inquisitive charac- ter of Mrs. K——, procured a billy-goat, and placed him in a closet that was kept 28 & reservoir for the secre! things. He then informed the lady of the wishes of the lodge, and requested her to come early the next mornmg, as he would then be at leisure to show her what was and what was not to be done. Morning came, and with it Madame K—. with her bioom, brushes, pails, tubs, &., prepared and armed for the job, and found the guardian waiting for her. “Now, Madame,” said he, “I will tell you what we want done, and how we came to employ you. The brothers said it was difiieul to get anybody to do the job and not be me idling with the secrets in that little closet; we have lost the key, and cannot find it to lock the door. i assured them that you could be depend- ed on.” “Depended cn!” said she, “T gress 1 can. My poor dead and gone hu-band who belonged to the Free Masons or the Aati-Masons, I don’t know which, used to tell me al the secrets of the concern, and when he showed me the marks the gridiron made whea he wasinitiated, and told me how they fixed poor Morgan, | never teld a living soul to this day; if nobody troubles your closet to find ont your secrets till i do, they’il lay there ull they rot—they will.” . “i thought so,” said the guardian “aud now I want you to commence in that corner, and give the whole room a dceeent cleaning, and I have ledged my word aud honor for your fidelity to your promise, now don’t go into that closet !” and then left the lady to herself. No sooner had she heard the sound o! his feet on the last step of the stairs than she exclaimed: “Don’t goin that closet ! Why, what on earth can there bein that closet? I'll warrant thre isa pig, grid- iron, Or some nonsense, just like the Anti Masons, for all the world, I'll be bound.

The string of one broke, and the kite sailing out of sght. alighted on the top of a house in the northern part of the city, and ere the in- mates were aware of their danger, the roof of their peautiful residence was wrapped in flames, which destroyed the entire building, leaving the owner and his family (one of them sick,) minus a costly home. ; A few more examples of the folly of such amusements in cities, ought te make the authorities more watchful of the ri- sing generation In general, and their de- structive proclivities in particular.—Co- luméus Engitirer. ——— ee WANTS TO GT MoRRivD—4 ROMARCE TM REAL LIFE. A young eprig of upper-tendom was brought to the mayor's office this morn- by hus father under the following circum- siances: ; It seems that some time since he saw and became et-amored ofa young and very imteresting looking girl, of not very doubi- ful reputation, residing at Ne. — Mercer strect, whom he frequently importuned to marry him. These importunities sho resisted. as emanating from a young and inexperienced youth His parents cvent- ually heard of the relation existing be- tween their son and this young woman, and accordingly sought an interview with her, which resulted in the giri promising never to see him again. Several weeks elapsed without their again meeting or seeing cach other: but at length the young man grew impatient and commenced addressing notes to the young lady, requesting her to form as- signations with him. &e. These notes, it appears, she did not notice. At length he became quite unmanageable, and made various threats of self-destruction, &c , if she would not consent to see him for a few moments, perhaps for the last time. She at length consented, and the intimacy was renewed, and grew as strong as cver on the part of the young man, who having plenty of ready cash, was a bird worth piucking. In a shori time he became again a constant visitor at the house, and again rerewed his im- portunitios to her to become his wife, bat this she stoutly refused. His parents having heard that the parties were again intimate, the father at once procesded to Egath Ward station, and requested Cap- tain Turnbull to arrest the girl for es- tranging the affections of, and leading his on from the paths of virtue. This request the captain refused to comply with, on the ground tha: there was no charge against the young lady, that would warrant him in so doing with- out 2 warrant; but said he would ask her to accompany him to the mayor's office, which the father requested him to do. Yesterday morning the captain ac- cordingly called on the girl, and she very oaney went with him.
