Paul Pliant, or ibe man trho coaM'nt aay No. BY THE AUTHOR OF YANKEE NOTIONS. (Concluded.) The next day Paul's adventure was the talk of the town, and the congratulation and condolence which, he received from hia friends on his engagement to the widow Wilful almost drove him stark, mad. tPaul, my dear fellow, I give you joy but who should have tho't you had the courage to do 'Paul, I wish you much happiness hut widows are such cunning things Paul it's all over with you, then Such were the salutations to which he was subjected for a week, aye, or nine days; for so long must a wonder be allowed to last, especially when it gives a privilege to remind a man of his misfortunes. As to denying the thing, that, of course, was out of the question with Paul bejidee, had riot a whole house full of people seen him on his knees before the widow? and did not the whole town affirm that it was certainly a match'! Paul gave up in despair all thoughts of gainsaying or denial, and only hoped that some lucky accident would pop in between him and the dreadful catastrophe.

Well, Paul, my conquering hero, when is it to be the happy day 7' asked his friend Tom Sly, with a look compounded of roguish sarcasm and good natured concern. yes, a very happy day it will be returned Paul, shrugging up his shoulders. Pretty soon, I suppose J' yes soon enough, no doubt of that, Left it all pretty much to her, eh 1 Well that's quite right women love to have their way, hey, Paul J' Exactly so, as you replied Paul with a half suppressed groan. The widow is certainly a fine said Tom, with an almost malicious look of condo lency. Paul made a very low bow, and a very desperate attempt to look smiling at the compliment.

4 Had a husband three years died one day, poor man What ailed him said Paul, wishing to turn the conversation, but feeling at the same time an awkward sort of interest in the topic. They say she pinched him to exclaimed Paul, with an involuntary shudder. Though I don't altogether believe returned Tom, in a tone as if he onlv said it to comfort his friend Paul. It was a great deal worse than if he had said nothing at all but probably this was just the thing he meant. Thank said Paul, with an air of dolorous resignation.

Here they were interrupted by the entrance of Col. Strut More friendly congratulation, I suppose, thought Paul to himself, in a heroic resignation. 1 belitsve I have the honor to address Mr. Paul Pliant, said the Colonel, marching with stately port, and in double common time up to Paul, and planting himself bolt upright before his face. At your service, said Paul with meekand measured civility.

And Mr. Pliant, I continued the Colonel, making half a bow, and screwing up his martial features into an apology for a civil smile, is to marry the widow 'O yes, certainly that is so they Then, sir, I have only to said the Colonel, lifting himself upas high as possible, and twisting his fore finger into one of his formida ble black whiskers, 'that considering myself supplanted, beguiled, and circumvented by you, I apprehend you are ready to give me such sat isfaction as the laws of honor require Certainly sir, with great replied Paul. Then, sir, I shall desire the pleasure of your company the other side of thestate, returned the Colonel in the civilest tone.pos' eible. Pistols I suppose would be your preference Pistols said Paul.in a tone which he meant for an ejaculation of surprise. Very said the Colonel, without giving time for further explanation.

Here are the terms of the meeting, which I trust you will find perfectly agreeable. So saying, he handed a paper to Paul, who received it and glanced his eyes over it, without having self possession enough to gather the meaning of a particle of its contents. Perfectly agreeable, said Paul, in his usual assenting way. The Colonel turned upon his heel and walked off. Paul's good friend Tom snatched up the document and read Pistol's 10 A.

In fact, he felt inspired by the greatness of the occasion, And verv naturally, for when a man knows he must be either shot or married, he must be aware that the crisis requires all his fortitude, Paul took his station with the most bloodless intention that ever prompted man to battle. I had much rather be killed than thought he. 4 One two said the seconds, as Paul raised hia pistol to about forty seven degrees of elevation nre Jiang I he Colonel but let whistled by Paul's left ear, and Paul hit the steeple of a martin box on the top of an adjoin in? barn.

Twice more were the pistols fired, when the seconds interfered the Colonel declared he nas satisfied, and they shook hands, thereby showing that Paul shooting three times in the face of the blessed sun, had proved that he 'never suppianted, beguiled and cirumvent the aforesaid Colonel Strut for so it is Jaid down in the 'code of It seamed now to be all over with Paul.

Paul met Dr.

Therefore, I am decidedly of opinion, that when the ceremony is to take place, and I propound the regular question, Will you lake this woman, for your wife You reply No it is not a marriage by no manner of 'I can't do said Paul, mornfully, I have tried it a hundred times, but the word always stock in my throat There is a spell upon me in matters of denying I must assent to everything. I was born without the capacity to do otherwise. Ask me if I have got three heads, I believe I should say Then you always say Yes, always, 'Good bye, friend said the Doctor, Cilly touching his hat 4 Mercy on me J' exclaimed Paul Pliant There was such a turn out among the belles tb next day I wish I had been thereto eee it.

Trinity church was thronged, for everybody knew Paul Pliant, and the acquaintance of widow Wilful comprised nearly the whole of that circle which calls itself 'good I wish, moreover, I had the talent of the immortal author of Clarissa Harlowe, at describing feathers and lustring then would I tell how magnificently the widow was decked out. But this cannot be done. Every thing was as it should be in the udginent of the world. Trie happy pair' drove to church a long string of coaches followed them the widow blushed and smiled, and all the world was gay. Was ever a bridegroom in the state of more explicable awkwardness 1 He debated with himself for a moment whether he should make a desperate effort, take to his heels and run but it was too late.

Paul cast a longing, lingering loook behind him as he entered the church door. 'Farewell blessed light of heaven said he to himself, ''tis the last time I shall see you a free rnan The widow held him fast by the arm. My dear said she, here we are at replied Paul, with a groan. 'We are all said the bridesmaids. 'Dearly began Doctor Bridemight.

Paul felt his heart beat terribly. One minute more, and then there will be no thought he. He looked most imploring at the doctor, as much as to say 'can you be so cruel The doctor made an awful pause before the great question. Paul's heart beat faster than ever. Now for the catastrophe said he.

The doctor gave Paul a keen look at length he spoke. JDo you refuse this woman for your wife exclaimed Paul, in the loudest tone he was ever known to utter. In an instant the idea flashed upon his mind that he was free. He sprang into the broad aisle with the quickness of lightning, knocked down an old gentleman in spectacles, burst through the crowd, and bolted into the street. He ran home without stopping, and it was not till he had locked him self within his own chamber, that he felt certain that he was not married to the widow Wilful.

There was a terrible scene at the church with the fainting and so forth but the widow is alive to this day, and when she finds another who can't say no' she may play again the game which had nearly entrapped poor Paul Pliant.

On Monday next our carriers will commence their weekly collections under the new system, and we know that we hardly need bespeak for them the kind attention, of our subscribers. They are courteous and deserving men, and having served their country with untiring zeal in distributing The Eagle, are justly entitled to their reward. As we have heretofore stated, those who prefer it, can pay at the office for any period (not less than six months) in advance; and those who prefer weekly payments, will be treated with all imaginable politeness by our worthy collectors. Summer SSxeursiona. The Saratoga papers state that the hotels at that place are filling up rapidly and add, for the special gratification of sweltering and dusty cits, that the season" is likely to be as brilliant and interesting as usual, notwithstanding the long continued prevalence of hard times.

Swarms of refugees are likewise driving to wards Niagara, the Catskill Mountains, Rocka way, Shrewsbury, and ether places noted for pure air and good fish and desperate havoc will soon be made in the ranks of woodcock, snipe, and pewees by the laced and mustachio'd elegantes called "sportsmen," (in jest.) It is strange that so little attention is paid to Long Island by this class of pleasure seekers, although the fact is notorious that for beautiful and attractive 6cenery, refreshing breezes, and all that makes the country desirable in summer, it will compare advantageously with any other part of the known world. And then such stacks of game plump, fat and savory as are to be found in the primitive woods, and sheltered coves such myriads of wild fowl as hover along the sea shore, and such shoals of fish as everywhere abound who that has ever pulled a trigger or thrown a line in his boyhood, would not leap for joy at the bare prospect of encountering them 7 Yet, with the exception of Mr. Webster, (who never visits this region without taking a turn on Old Long Island's sea girt shore," to spend a few days in hunting or fishing,) and a few other gentlemen of like capacity for appreciating the good things of this world, the dislingues remain under a thick cloud of ignorance in regard to the bracing atmosphere and epicurean resources of this island. Still, we must not despair, but patiently await the time when the railroad from Brooklyn to Greenport, under the auspices of President Fisk, shall cause our trout and woodcock to be respected our wilderness to bud and blossom, and our claim as "Garden of the State" to be fully acknowledged and verified. But there is another and a very large class of our population with whom these facts and fancies possess little interest.

The toiling million the men and women who earn their bread by the sweat of their faces, and suffer when they earn it not the slaves of necessity the occupants of situations from whose duties there is no remission what are shady grove6, and refreshing breezes, and all the accessaries of a fashionable lounge, to such as these 7 They have no part nor lot in such matters and while others are enjoying the substantial realities of a country life, and wondering how people can live amidst glaring brick walls and red hot pavements, with the mercury at 100, they are laboring in the workshop and in the open air, sweating and panting, or luxuriating upon wilted vegetables, liquid butter, and tepid beverages. Daily they plod the dusty streets, made pleasant by the refuse of kitchens and if they ever inhale a better atmosphere than usually surrounds them, or feast their eyes an hour upon the gorgeous handiwork of the Great Architect, jt must be done in haste, at long intervals, and with no little inconvenience to their financial arrangements. You will see them escaping a Sab bath, perhapsrr rwhen their better feelings would prompt them to be in church to some one of the customary places of resort, with their wives and children about them, and their rations carefully bestowed in wicker baskets forgetting that they derive, at most, but one half the ben fits which the jaunt would afford them, if their articles of food were taken fresh from the soil, and their drinks from the clean milk dairies, or cool and sparkling founts that gush from the mountain. Besides, the fatigue they are compelled to undergo in reaching and returning from the apologetic forests which they designate as "country, and the ill effects which generally follow a gorging of system's diseased with city fare, when they adopt the unusual course of drawing their supplies from the vicinity, more than counterbalance the good results of a pure and (under moro favorable circumstances) invigorating breeze. Hence, on reaching home, they find themselves laboring under headaches the natural consequence of violating physio logical principles, and soon realize most vividly the truth of Byron's sentiment, that comfort is not to be expected by people who go a pleasur ing" at least, in such a way.

But what is the remedy for these evils? This, after all, is the practical question" for it is one thing to detect abuses, and quite another to suggest reforms. A full and complete answer to the inquiry would occupy more space, and consume more time than we Gan give it today. We shall, therefore, merely throw out a few hints. In the first place, it is indispensable that the hours of labor be reduced throughout tha warm season, wilhout abridging the rcioard of that labor. The old and abominable rule of working from sunrise to sunset (as many do,) should be forthwith and forever exploded while the more common ten hour system should be essentially modified pending the dog days.

Eight hours for laborious pursuits is amply sufficient while others of a lighter caste might incur an extra hour. The chief part of this labor should be performed in the early and latter part of the day, whnn the power of the sun's rays is less withering in its effects than at noon, and the system is better prepared to sustain it. The next, and perhaps the most important step is, the laying out of public squares and promenades in our cities, and investing them with such artificial charms as will attract and retain the multitude. In the vast and densely populated city of London, where land is immensely valuable, the most spacious and delightful parks are found and the denizen of toil can leave the thronged and busy streets and plunge, as it were at a single bound, into the depths of rural beauty. In all the great cities and towns of the old world there an abundance of such places, and we marvel that the American people should manifest such reluctance to follow their example.

Look at the position of our own city in this respect What advantages does she not possess for a few public squares 1 Her noble Heights, overlooking the metropolis with its acres of shipping, and commanding a view of unparalleled magnificence the bay, with its steamers darting to and fro, and noble merchant ships standing off and on, under clouds of canvass the islands, dotted with forts and neat white cottages, the highlands of New Jersey, thejvillages nestled among hills, with green waving forests discoverable in the back ground, and more than all, the pure and refreshing breeze that constantly sweeps over them why should all these great and natural advantages for a public square be longer neglected 1 In any other place they would long since have been greedily seized upon by the government at almost any price, and made tributary to the health and enjoyment of the citizens. An hundred thousand dollars or, if need be, twice that amount could not be more judiciously expended than in purchasT ing, laying out, and ornamenting the Heights for a square. And the Common Council that shall take the matter in hand, and prosecute it to a successful termination, will establish a just claim to the appellation of public benefactors and be remembered with gratitude and joy by our children's children's posterity's remotest issue. We have thus attempted to show how the benefits of the country may be made available to our industrial population; and we may add, that we conceive it to be the duty as well as the privilege of those who are charged with the administration of our affairs, to give heed to this matter. Tkade in Brooklyn.

We are gratified to learn as we do from various sources that the trade of Brooklyn is rapidly increasing. Within the last few months, a large number of com modious and handsome stores have been erect ed in different parts of the city, and filled, as if by magic, with good tenants and excellent goods. Old shoppers, who have hitherto drawn their supplies of dry goods from New York, are heard to acknowledge that it is a useless expenditure of strength and shoe leather to continue the practice; since they can now be furnished with everything desirable in that line from our own stores. Fulton street competes with Maiden lane and Broadway and we be gin to hope that we shall succeed in restricting family purchases to Brooklyn without the im position of a tariff. Beyond this, little is need ed to ensure the continued and increased pros perity of the city, and of Long Island gener ally for the interest of one is the interest of both.

Non resident landholders who draw their wealth a 60ii which they never honor with their presence, and expend it in for eign parts are the chief oppressors of Ireland and the same principle holds good the world over. Those who enjoy the benefits and protection of our city, should contribute to her welfare in every practicable manner let tljeir places of business be where they ID The New Mirror for the present week haB a capital engraving of A Muggy Morning off Sandy Hook," which is richly worth sixpence of itself. The ships lying at anchor with their saris looped into festoons, the steamer drawing near, the buoy floating, small boats shooting hither and thither, and the mugginess of the atmosphere, are all admirably delineated. The Mirror goes on "The Fair One" is the silly and unmeani ing title of a new daily paper) which is about to be Commenced in New York by an associa tion of ladies. We are surprised that the combined talents of Mrs.

Thomas J. Ann S. Stephens, Mrs. Caroline M. Sawyer, Miss Sedgwick, Miss E.

Robbing, Mary Clavers and Antonia de Ximne, should have not suggested something more appropriate and becom ing. "The Coquette" now would have been delicious, and we would hint to Mrs. Sawyer who, we are certain, musthave'demurred, the propriety of moving a reconsideration. The epithet "fair" is attributed, by courtesy, to the sea; in general, and in order to retain the proper zest, it should be received as a compliment, and not as a matter of right. Some are doubtless entitled to the acknowledgment, and could establish their claims before any jury in the land but that is no Teason why staid and sober matrons, with groups of children and of children's children smiling around them, should appropriate the term tor their exclusive use, benefit and behoof.

It reminds us of young ladies kissing each other, which is always a prodigious waste of the raw material. We hope, and believe, however, that The Fair One" if it must be a fair one will meet with success. It will be a capital channel through which to circulate advertisements of husbands lost, and partners wanted. Mks. Sigouenet and Mes.

Southet. An unnecessary degree of fuss has been made in the papers about a correspondence between these ladies both of whom, as everybody knows, are elegant writers. It originated in the publication of an extract from one of Mrs. Southey's letters to Mrs. Rigourney, iB connection with a volume of the latter's poetry, and was interpreted by some as evincing a disposition to "stump," in Western parlance, upon the honor of such an acquaintance.

A most preposterous idea, certainly as if Mrs. Sigour ney did not confer as much honor as she received. However, the ERglish journals published a contradiction of the story, "by authority," as they hinted, and put the blame upon our He mans. Upon this, the Edinburgh Scotsman remarks, apparently by the card It is satisfactory to the friends of Mrs. Si gourney to know that the paragraph "annoyed as much as it surprised" Mrs.

Southev, and that the opinion expressed by that inestimable lady who, we presume, is best qualified to form a judgment in the case is as favorable as could be desired, and directly opposed to the misrepresentations, recently circulated." There now let the matter rest The Prospect in Tennessee. The work goes bravely on in Tennessee. The two Governors are spouting like mad upon general principles, and yet maintaining the strictest courtesy in their personal intercourse. The result is looked for with a good deal of interest, The Nashville Union of the 30th ult, says: The last mail from East Tennessee brings us glorious news news on which we can rely with confidence. In the letter we pu blish from Greeneville it will be 6een that Gov.

Jones sought to give his friends the cue to harrah, by telling them that the mountains were on fire for whiggery but his brag was finely answered by Gov. Polk who showed the people it was only fox fire. The Feds are blowing it lustily with their paper bellowses, but it won blaze. We have news from a number of counties of large and undoubted gains to the Republican cause. Our friends are more active and more sanguine than they were in 1839 and with the lights before us, we regard the triumph of Republican principles and their gallant and en ergetic expounder (Gov.

By The Repeal Association of Charleston, S. was convened by its officers immediately on the reception of Mr. O'Connell's anti slavery speech, and a committee was appointed to report thereon. The resolutions called for the immediate dissolution of the society, and for a distribution of the surplus fund, if any, between the Ladies' Fuel Society, and the Sisters of our Lady of Mercy.

They were carried by accla mation. One of the speakers remarked, as the alternative has been presented to us by Mr. O'Connell, as we must choose between Ireland and South Carolina, we say, South Carolina forever The meeting sprung to their feet and responded to this sentiment with three terrific cheers. As the agitator has declared that he cannot receive blood stained money," he is, no doubt, prepared for such demonstrations in the slaveholding states.

Secondly The Freedom of Religion, and the extinction of a heavy and unjust impost, of all compulsory payments by one body of christians to the teachers of any other persuasion. Thirdly The improvement of the condition of all occupiers of land by a well considered plan of fixity of tenure, which, while it would secure to the landlord a moderate and adequate rent for his land, would at the same time, insure to the tenant the benefit ot all his own labor and expenditure in permanent improvements. Fourthly The total abolition of the oppressive grand jury cess, and the present iniquitous system of poor laws, and the substitution of well regulated charitable institutions. Good. A sailor, a few days ago, got thrown from a railroad car on one of the Eastern roads.

When they called to see what he would demand for damages, he said he thought it might be worth a dollar afoot, more or less and he thought the distance he was pitched was about fifteenfeet. He was accordingly willingtotake fifteen dollars, or he would wait until the' distance was measured, and abide the result. They paid him without any hesitation. The venerable Dr. Beecher delivered a sermon in the Tremont Church (late theatre) at Boston a few days ago, which is highly commended.
