One fine morning in June, Albert Faircbild selected from his wardrobe his most beautiful suit, and from his bureau a goodly supply of linen, and with a countenance glowing with joy ful anticipation, commenced packing a capa cious valise, and making other preparations for a journey. Mr. Albert Fairchild was going to visit a young lady, of whom it is necessary to say a few words before proceeding with the story. Josephine Marvin resided with her parents in a village called Pekin, in order not to offend the modesty of its inhabitants by using the whole name ; and out of the village she had never journeyed far, except on three occasions. She had made three visits to relations in town, with whom she had spent months. IlerarMr. Albert Fairchild saw her, admired her, anclended by loving her devotedly. -Satisfied by her beauty and excellence, Albert offered her his hand; but she said, “Yotr must come and see mo at my home, and become acquainted with my pa rents, before exacting an engagement from me ; for it may be you will not like them, and it is possible they may not fancy you; in either case I should hesitate to accept your gracious offer.” Miss Marvin had returned to Pekin, and now Albert was intending to visit her family. Con fident that Josephine was inclined to favor his suit, and blessed with a tolerably good opinion of himself, which told him that the Marvins would not probably object to his station in life or his personal appearance, Albert set out on his journey with excellent spirits. The first forty miles of his journey Albert ac complished in the space of two hours. At a small town he found himself compelled to wait for a .each to convey him to the village of Pekin. Impatient to proceed, Albert became ill-hu mored and grumbled" at the delay. To while away the time, he drank a cup of coffee, eat a penny’s worth of pea-nuts, read a few para graphs iu a paper, and walked the parlor floor of the inn with the most impatient strides. “Are ybu going to Pekin ?” asked a quick voice. Albert glanced at the speaker, who was a middle-aged gentleman with a loose drab coat, a well developed waistcoat of worn and faded velvet, a hat that had evidently been used for years ; and who presented a rough and careless appearance altogether. Albert had one fault, which is common with travelers. He bad no intention of making him self sociable, or even civil, in the company of strangers. If an unknown person asked him a question in the politest manner, hd was sure to answer shortly, or give no answer. Moreover, Albert’s motto when traveling, was “Every one for himself,” and this he made bis rule of ac tion. A proposal to put himself out of the way to accommodate a stranger, he would have ridi culed as the height of absurdity. Knowing this disposition in our hero, the rea der will not be surprised that Albert, instead of giving a simple affirmative answer, or even a responsive nod, regarded the rough looking man a moment, and passed on without a word. PROPRIETOR. But the old gentleman with the drab coat and faded velvet waistcoat, in spite of his rough ap pearance, evidently possessed a patient and good natured disposition, which was not easily dis turbed. Without appearing to notice Albert's incivility, he quietly remarked as fie came in his way again : “You are going to Pekin, I should judge?" “What if I am?” growled Albert. i “Oh, nothing,” answered the old gentleman with a good natured smile—“only I’d advise you to book your name for a seat in the stage at once, if you have not done so; for I have no doubt but there will be half a dozen more pas sengers than the coach can accommodate." Albert had not booked his name, and he ought to have thanked the old gentleman for his suggestion. So far however, from manifesting any sense of obligation, ho replied with an in sulting “Hem !” and turned abruptly upon his heel. Albert found that there was hut one seat in the stage coach left unengaged, and that out side ; he had scarcely booked his name, when two other gentlemen came up in haste, manifes ting much disappointment on learning there was no room for them in the next stage. Albert was therefore fully concious that he owed his chance to the old gentleman whom be had trea ted so rudely. Albert placed his valise’ on the floor in the -public room, and sat down by his . property, to beguile his impatience with a smoke. He had been thus employed for a few moments, when the gentleman in the velvet waistcoat came and sat down by bis right band. Albert looked at him through the Wreaths of smoke, as if the gentleman had been nothing but smoke himself, of a disagreeable quality; and puffed away without noticing him farther. “Will yon be so good as .to give me the time; sir ?” civilly asked the gentleman, glancing at Albert’s" showy fob-chain. “Give yon what?” muttered Albert, as if he had not understood—at the same time puffing a volume of smoke in Ws good-humored face.

UNTIL '‘MAN’S INHUMANITY TO MAN" SHALL CEASE, AGITATION MUST CONTINUE; WELLSBORO, TIOGA COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 28,1860. —Home Journal, A. LESSON OF LIFE, “The time,'if you please, sir. Is it eleven o'clock J” “I don’t know,” replied Albert; without a look at his watch. A moment after the young man' moved his chair to another part of the room, and sat down, his back towards the drab coat and velvet waist coat. The stage coach drove up shortly after, and having discharged its passengers and changed horses made ready fur the return route to Pekin. Albert and another traveler occupied a seat designed to accommodate three, directly behind the driver. Both were slender men, yet they managed to spread themselves, so as to give the seat the appearance of belifg already full. The stage was nearly ready to depart when the old gentleman in the ' drab coat came out of the tavern with a heavy carpet-bag in his hand, and looked very inquiringly at the outside pas sengers. ‘‘Boom for another up there ?” he asked, smi ling at Albert. ‘‘We’re crowded now,” responded Albert, sharply. ‘‘You will have to get up there, sir," observed the driver, addressing the drab coat. “That seat ought to accommpdate three." "Then I suppose ' I must take my chance with the rest of you,” cried the .old gentleman with a good-humored 1 laugh, as he .climbed lip the stage. “Sorry, young gentlemen to trouble you to make room," ho added, when neither Albert nor the traveler attempted to move; "but I believe lam entitled to a seat here! Ila! a tight fit, ain’t it The old gentleman, who tbas rather corpulent, appeared to take no notice of the young man’s unaccommodating manner, but settled slowly and deliberately upon the seat, in older to avoid an unpleasant pressure, to contract their dimensions, and give him his share of the room. “This is an imposition !" cried Albert to the driver. “What is an imposition ?" “Look for yourself; this seat is too short for three men of ordinary size; this corpulent fol low will crush us!" * “Dear me ! I hope not!" exclaimed he. “I shoutn't like to do that, I declare! But it is a close fit, isn't it? Ha! hal too much flesh is sometimes inconvenient, to be sure." “Men over twenty-six inches broad, should buy two seats,” said Albert. “Ha! ha!” laughed the good-humored old gentleman. “I don’t know but what we fat fel lows ought to pay for the extra room 'we oc- cupy." “You ought to have some regard for other travelers," said Albert, advancing a principle which he had never as yet considered himself. “That’s a fact,” replied the proprietor of tho velvet waistcoat. “We have no right to disre gard the fellings of others. I believe I must diet my corpulency for the bendfit of society.— But we will be obliged to get along the best way wo can to-day, for my substance is rather solid. Ah ! lam sorry to discommode you. I' only wish for your sake I was smdU'er.” This lost remark was followed ny d good na tured laugh from all the outside passengers ex cept Albert, who had become most decidedly sullen. The stage each now rolled heavily off with its load, the driver cracked his long whip, and urged the horses into a rapid pace. For some time neither of the outsiders spoke, each ap pearing busy with his own thoughts. At length the gentleman in the drab coat, whose patience it seemed nothing could .exhaust, and whose even temper nothing could rume, remarked, addressing himself to Albert; J “This is really a fine day, sir. Were you ever in this part of the country before ?” “No,” was the abrupt reply. “Don’t you think it’s a fine region-,? those hills, which the spring has spread with green carpets, and remark how be.autiful yon der forest looks in the sunshine 1 This is an excellent soil for a variety of agricultural pur poses—well watered, as you perceive, by a riv er, which you may see glimmering through yonder clump of fine peach trees.” The only reply that Albert gave to these ob servations was—we are sorry to say—a , real piggish sort of a grunt. “You may travel the country,” pursued the velvet waistcoat, “and you will not find a more beautiful and fertile district than this." “—1” grunted Albert. “The character of the inhabitants, 100, stands high. They are a plain, common sense class sort of people, but they ate distinguished for their hos'pitalify and genuine politeness.” “ —!” grunted Albert. “We are now in Hekin,” pursued the old gen tleman, after a long pause. “There is ,a fine tavern over the bill.” These remarks caused Albert to start, but too proud to betray an interest in anything the gen tleman said, he maintained a studied silence. Thus Albert accomplished the journey. Like too many travelers, be disdained to appear soci able toward strangers, little knowing how much useful information is sometimes gained, how much one’s human nature is improved, and how much good feeling may be cultivated by the use of common and! familiar politeness among people who meet in stage coaches and hotels. Arrived’ at the hotel, Albert, little caring what became of his excellent friend of the vel vet waistcoat and drab coat, leaped off the coach, and ordered his valise carried to his new appartments. While dressing himself with great care, the young man forgot his ill-humor in the glowing anticipation he entertained of a speedy and a happy meeting with Josephine. Having partaken of a alight repast, he engaged a buggy to transport him to Mr. Marvin’s resi dence. The boy who went with the buggy droVe up before a spacious and elegant white house, which had a remarkably neat and comfortable appear ance. 1 . , “ “This is Marvin’s” said the boy; “the big gate is looked, or I would drive in, but you can pass op this right Viand path, Which Will take yod right to the door.” Albert gave the boy a shilling and leaped lightly fo’ the earth,- entered the grounds bj s smaller gate, and with a’ beatinff heart hsbteobff to ta’eet hb Josephine. As Albert was passing np the avenue a cir cumstance occurred which occasioned him con siderable mortification. A laboring man, in a slouched hat and tow frock, who was at work round some yonng pear trees near the house, turned as the young man approached, and dis covered the familiar features of bis old friend, the corpulent gentleman of velvet waistcoat're nown. “Such,” thought Albert, passing on without deigning to notice the good natured man ; “such is the impudence of people. This serving man; having by some means got permission to leave his work for a few hours, gets into respectable company away from home, and endeavors to es tablish himself on a friendly and sociable foot ing with gentlemen ? Now, suppose 1 had been familiar with him—what a fine thing it would be to meet him at lost in his true capacity ! I wonder if I shall suffer from bis impertinence in Mr. Marvin’s bouse ?” With these thoughts running through bis brain Albert struck the heavy knocker and brought a girl to the door. He was shown into a neat parlor immediately, where be had not long to Wait for Josephine. To describe the meeting of the lovers would be to write a great many things wich it is well enough for young- people of tender sentiments to say, hut which do not sound so well repeated to less passionate ears. Suffice ifthathoth Al bert and Josephine were very happy to ibeet again, and that the former took great delight in praising Mr. Marvin’s residence, while the lat terwas quite as well pleased at having it praised. “You have really a lovely home—so quiet and tasteful, Josephine,” said Albert; “and my heart sinks within me when I think of my au dacity to hope you may some day leave it tor me 1 But your parents —I am anxious to see them.” “Oh, you shall soon be gratified. lam proud of my parents, Albert. They are plain people, but so good 1” “Just the sort of people to spit me,” said the enthusiastic lover. Mrs. Marvin entered presently, and Albert was not disappointed, lie immediately set her down ns the paragon of elderly ladies, and was admiring her genial countenance and unaffec ted manner, when Josephine announced her father. Albert rose suddenly, and turned to greet the father of his beloved with becoming reverence and civility. Reader, 0, reader 1 can you im agine the young man’s consternation and de spair when he saw coming into the door the drab coat, velvet waistcoat and familiar coun tenance ? ■ “Mr. Fairchild, father,” said Josephine. Albert felt himself about sinking through the floor. “I—l believe—” he stammered, “we have— met before.” “Ah 1 my young friend of the stage coach ?” exclaimed the old gentleman, giving Albert’s hand a hospitable shake. "Certainly wo . have met before.” N J?his was like heaping coals of fire upon Al bert’s head. His face burned with shame, and his tongue stammered with confusion. Making a very awkward and ineffectual attempt to say something civil, he sank upon a chair with sick and ghastly looks, which frightened Josephine. “Indeed,” pursued the old gentleman, as if he remarked nothing of Albert’s rudeness, “I little anticipated meeting you again so soon.— How do you like the appearance of Pekin ?” “Oh, w-e—well!” stammered Albert. “Glad to hear it! And the appearance of the inhabitants ?” “Oh, very—very well 1” “Indeed 1 I was afraid you would have no fancy for us plain people.” Thus the old gentleman went on, conversing in the most easy and amiable manner, as if it was his only study to entertain his guests Al bert listened with a faint heart and upbraiding conscience, feeling keenly the contrast between the old gentleman’s excellent nature and genu ine politeness, and bis own ill-temper and inci vility. In a short time Josephine’s parents withdrew, and she was left alone with her miserable lover. Albert threw himself at her feet, and there, re fusing to rise, he confessed his ill-treattflent of her venerable parent, and besought her to for give him and intercede with her father for his pardon. Astonished and shocked at first, Jose phine knew not what to think or say; but, to relieve her repentent lover, she took pity on his wretchedness, and promised all he asked. Indgsoribable was Albert’s anxiety- of mind until Josephine had seen her father, and ho came walking into the room where the young man was itlfine. Mr. Marvin’s countenance wore tho;same good-natured smile, which even the insolent treatment he had received at Al bert’s hand could not banish ; and frankly ex tending bis bands be advanced towards bis pro spective son-in-law. “tVell, well,” he exclaimed, before Albert could speak, “the past cannot be recalled, and I suppose the less said about it the better. For my own part, I freely forgive the rather ungen tlemanly manner you used towards me. In fact I care nothing for it now, yet I must say that it gives rte pain to think that you are in the habit of giving way to ill-natured feelings while trav eling. Don’t speak ! I know what you would say. You are always uncivil. I be lieve it. But - like so many young men, you think that while traveling you owe no man po liteness, and ought neither to grant nor receive favors." “Oh, but after this lesson, sir—” “You will act more like a sensible man. I believe It. But now 1 must confess that lam a little to blame in this matter. I know you at the first from Josephine’s description. You can, perhaps, imagine my motive for persecu ting yoU with my unwelcome society.” “Oh! my dear sir I” cried the tortured _Al bert. ' “Ah ! ah ! It isn’t a very bad joke after all 1” , cried he, the velvet waistcoat undulating with bis peculiar happy laugh. “ Come V cottfe! don't look gloomy now. I tell you the past is forgiven—but mind ye, you must not forget it. You must learn not to'turn the cold shoulder to~ corpulent old gentlemen you meet in strange placed, event ho ugh always as disagreeable as the ope you njet to-day. Hal ha! Let’s have a good, hearly ladgh-at the affair, and say no more about it.” ! In his gratitude for the kindness with which the old gentleman paid bis ill-treatment, Albert kissed his band with tears glistening in bis eyes. Josephine entered presently, followed by her mother, and in half an hour Mr. Marvin was showing Albert about his farm, and all were as happy as if no unpleasant occurrence bad ever troubled their minds. In a week Albert returned to town, a wiser, happier, and better man. He bad gained the consent of Josephine's parents to bis marriage with the girl of his.choioe, and the wedding day was appointed. Tor this and other good rea sons, Albert’s heart was overflowing with joy. In conclusion we may remark that on his journey home Albert attracted general attention, and won the good will and eateeme of everybody by the respect and civility of bis deportment to wards bis fellow travelers.

Sorefully yores, ArtTEUJtS Wand; The New York Ladies; We copy the following article fro'iri fire New York Life Illuslraied. It is from the racy pen of Mrs. George Washington Wyllys. We thick her stritures on the Irtdles of New York will suit the ladies of anj other city quite as well; “ Most of the ladies you meet on Broadway; in the course of a sunny afternoon, are beauti ful, but it is a very unsatisfactory kind of beau ty. They look Wa pale and languid—too much as if they grew in the shade. They are nit more like our Western women than a plate of dissolving ice cream is like a plump apple dumpling." So Says the New York correspondent of it Western paper. Poor fellow 1 he don’t know how to account for the “ moonlightv" appear ance of our metropolitan belles. lie don't know much about their natural history. lie don’t know that it is “ unfashionable" for a lady tit rise here before eight o’clock ; he probably isn’t aware that she has a wholesome horror of light, and fresh air, and sunshine, lest they, should “ tan,” “ burn,” or “ freckle” the wax-like skin in whV.) she glories. He is ignorant that all the exercise she gets is that daily walk on the fash ionab'e side of Broadway 1 We rather suspect that he would not be so astonished if be knew as much os we do on the subject. New York ladies are u fearfully and wonder fully made.” Thfiy have a great many unac countable criSlobets in their pretty little heads; It is the height of the mode to carry a fat, puf fing poodle dog about in their arms, or lead him by a gilded chain ; hilt if a lady carries her 1 baby herself, she loses caste immediately. She must not be seen carrying a parcel—certainly not; if she buys a yard of ribbon, it must be sent home to her. She must have regular “ re ception days,” wherein to bedizen herself id silks, point laces and diamonds, and exchaffgf shallow nothings with dear friends who come; not because they want to see her, but because sho lives in a “brown, front,” and keeps a carriage. She has the most charming unconscious way of faeinj; excessively rude to other ladies, in th i world. She “ shops” to perfection, so far at buying the most expensive goods and spending the gveatest amount of money in the least amount of time are concerned ; and then sh i saunters languidly into some gilded confection ary temple, draws off her kid gloves so a« t i display her sparkling rings,, and calls for th > cream and pound-cake, and a few other iadigsi-f til/les to refresh her after her morning's walk ! She thinks it decidedly interesting to he p ila and headachy; she wouldn’t have cheeks like harvest apples for tbe world. Her bands are beautifully small and white because she never • uses them except fur the piano and parasol, ani always sleeps in kid gloves; . list those admire them who dill— r irc see far more loveliness in tlia wink Ted and emlrn wned hands of many an old grundame—hands whiclt have lain lovingly on fevered-brews and closed the dim eyes of the newly .dead with' tender touch—hands which worn always employed for the service of others, and have prawn bard ai-d rough with honest work 5 The Now York lady is of a different opinion; She .tends; her little girls to dancing schools, atfd crams them with french and musid; gcogmpbyatid spelling or# not of so much importance. She laughs ap provingly at their mimic flirtations,, and retail* {heir smart sayings to her lady friends in their presence. At fifteen they are ‘'finished," —at sixteen married; and the. New York lady con siders her duty triumphantly . fulfilled ; We don’t know much about the-Western ladies, hut if they are not different’from this, .wa are sorry for the Westertf gentleman; . It has been ascertained 1 by atr expteri ment in Germany, so says a rfriter; Ibat-an acre of- buck, wheat? in fUll Wobm will yield-fourteen pounds of honey pff day. •' *
