Everybody said that Nettie Gray waa a beauty, not one of your polished city belles, but a gay, roiqping, saucy piece of nature’s handiwork, yet gentle and affectionate withal, possessing a depth of feeling and sentiment which few arc able to fathom. Now, “sweet Nettie Gray,” as she was called, had long been loved by one Charlie Gratton —the handsome young merchant who kept the only store the village of N could boast of; where he had, for some four or five years, dealt out sugar, tea, coffee, tobacco, calicoes, silks, pins, hardware, and : a variety of merchandise, to the villagers'and surrounding farmers, and had realized .quite a little fortune; a part of which he invested in the purchase of widow Morton’s beautiful cottage and 'grounds, which, at the death of her hus band, she had been obliged to dispose of and take a cheaper place, where she could live less expensively; while from the sur plus of the price received for the cottage she received a nice little income. Char ley had also taken the widow’s son into the store, qts his increased business made it necessary to procure assistance. The salary paid to tittle Johnny was a materi al help to his mother, for which she was very grateful and she never failed to speak a word in his praise whenever an opportu nity presented. This, with the numberless acts of gen erosity which Charley was never tired of performing, made him the hero of that lit tle village, and caused him to bo beloved and respected, hy both old and young, for many miles around. To say, that Nettie Gray was indifferent to his mariy visits, or for the ardent- love ho entertained for her, would be doing injustice to her warm ap preciative heart But the spirit of mis chief seemed to possess her, and, though she was uniformly kind and gentle in her disposition towards her lover, and would * converse freely and unreservedly with him upon any tojpic, yet, when he approached. the subject nearest to his heart, she was off like a frightelied bird. Not that she was afraid of him, pr that the subject was dis tasteful to hpr, (for her own heart was equally .interested,) but she delighted to tease him, and heartily enjoyed his dis comfiture on such occasions. She knew he loved her with all the strength of his soul, and she had no fear of alienating his affections from herself —an event which would have given her the deepest pain,. Charley had begun to think seriously of marriage; and why. not ? dThere stood the cottage embowered in trees, many of which were bending under their heavy load of rare fruit,., unoccupied. It needed only the presence of his hrighteyed Nettie to make it a Paradise. His income was more than sufficient t<f satisfy their most ex travagant wants, and why should he not marry ? Many times he had visited Net tie for Ihp express purpose of making known his urisnes, but had been as often prevented from saying what he wanted to say, by thellittlc .mischief running away at the first word he uttered on the subject. To think pi* supplying her place from the many fair damjscls in it—who would glad ly have accepted his hand, was out’ of the question. It liras he lovedj and Nettie 6nly[ arid ho(fhlt sure she*Teturncd his affections, but how could ho ever get married if! not pprmitfed to pro pose ?, must resort to stratagem," he thought, apd fie partially formed many plans to little.beauty^"id ternisj and as often abandoned them. [INDEPENDENT _ IN EYERTTmNQ.J His mind was busy with such thoughts, as one bright morning in September he walked towards Farmer Gray's mansion. HO leisurely ascended the hill, at the top of which, upon a lovely table land, stood the great old house, when he was startled by a familiar voice calling : “ Bring the ladder, Dick! I want to get down." And looking up, he beheld Net tie seated in the wide spreading branches of a large apple tree that stood in the field near the road. Dick, perched upon the topmost round of a ladder that leaned against a pear tree, was quietly filling a basket with the rich fruit. “ Wait a minute, sis," replied Dick, without looking up; I have got my bas ket almost full. I-U come in a minute." “ Come now, Dick! quick, quick, quick !" again called the impatient voice of his sister. Dick evidently began to think there was something wrong, for as he turned around, his eye instantly caught sight of our boro coming up the road, but a few rods from where they were. He instantly descended the tree, but instead of carry ing the ladder to assist Lis sister to de scend, he gave a loud shout, threw bis cap into the air, cleared the wall with a bound, and ran rapidl} - down the hill, shouting at the top of his voice, “O, Mr. Gratton, I’ve treed a coon !” Then placing his bands upon the ground before him, he turned some five or six somersaults, pick ed up his cap, and ran with dll bis might to the house. The little rogue evidently loved mischief as well as did his pretty sister. Charley’s first thought was to go to the assistance of .Nettie, and he leaped the wall and approached the tree. Taking the ladder from the upper tree, he was about placing it for her to descend, when a sud den thought suggested itself. “ She can not run away from me now,” and not stop ping to consider the ungallant act, he grasped a ; lower branch, and with some gay remarks swung himself lightly up and took a scat by her side. Nettie, who was an amiable girl, and could take a joke as good naturedly as she could give one, oddly laughed heartily at the trick her brother played upon her, complimented Charley upon his agility, and invited him to help himself to the blushing fruit that hung in such tempting profusion about them. After chatting on a variety Of themes, he determined to ap proach the subject, and if possible, get an intelligent answer. For some time he sat in silence, then said ; * “Nettie, I have something to say to you.” “ Ah, have you ?” she replied. “ Well, Charley, please help me down, and you can say it as we walk to the house.’' Charley saw the mischief in her eyes, and resolved to go on without heeding her request, yet he changed somewhat in his mo'de of attack. “ Nettie, I am going to be married.” “ Married, Charley, married ?” Without heeding the playful glance that was raised to his face, he went on : “ Yes, Nettie; my business is now very prosperous —I have a pretty home, which needs only the additional charm of a pair of bright eyes. I have found a sweet, gentle girl, whom I love with all my heart, and who- is willing to become my wife; and I have resolved to marry. I have tried a long time to tell you, but you would not boar it.” Nettie had listened to this speech in ut ter amazement. She had long believed that she was the beloved of Charley Grat ton’s heart, and she meant —after she had teased him to her heart’s content, to lis ten to his love, and become his dutiful and Moving wife. But her hopes were now suddenly dashed to atoms. It was too much. A giddiness came over her, and but for the support of Charley’s arm she would to the ground. Char ley noticed her emotion, and feared he had gone too far. It was but for a mo ment, however. She soon gained herself possession, and sat up rightly by his side. Her face was very pale, but her eyes flash ed proudly as she replied, and there was a spice of bitterness in her tone : “ May I ask the name of her who has been honored with the offer of the hand of my noble friend ?” “ First, let me describe her. She is a beautiful girl, and possessed of a warm loving heart. She has hut one fault—-if fault it may be called. She delights to tease those who love her best, and often she has given me a severe, heart pang. — Yet, Nettie, I love her, deeply and fer vently, and it shall he the object of my life to guard her from harm, to protect her, as far as I am able, from the slightest breath of sorrow, and I shall bo abundant ly rewarded by her love. Nettie, I have never offered her my hand, though she has long possessed 1 . X do it now, Nettie. ! you ask her name ?” NettieCgavo one long inquiring look, as though: she but half comprehended his words. • “ Will you be my wife, Nettie ?” “ What!” she replied, half bewildering-- ly, “ Are you not forervcr lost tp me ?” “No, if you will conscnt to be mine!” She. realized wha£ it would, tie to lose him; she murmured „ “ Yc«, Charley, Xwill,” Soon Master Dick came bounding into the orchard, one hand filled with - a large slice of bread and butter, whilAwith the other he tossed his cap into the air, show ing that he fully comprehended the state of affairs, shouting at the top of his voice: “ Hello, Mr. Gratton, ain’t you glad I treed her, for you ?" Both greeted this sally with a' burst of laughter, and soon all three were engaged in a wild romp upon the green turf. We hardly need add that the patne au tumn witnessed a right merry wedding at the Did mansion of farmer Gray. “Site Works for a living.” Commend us to the girl of whom it is sneoringly said, “she works for a living in her we are always sure to find the ele ments of a true woman —a real lady.— True, we are not prepared to see a min cing step —a haughty lip —a fashionable dress—or hear a string of splendid non sense about the balls and young men—the new novels and the next party—no —no ; bat we are prepared to hear sound words of good sense —language becoming wo man, and to see a neat dress, mild brow, and to witness movements that would not disgrace an angel. You who are looking for wives and com panions, turn from the fashionable, lazy, haughty girls, and select one from any of those who work for a living, and never — our word for it—will you repent your choice. Yoa want d substantial friend and not a doll; a help-mate and not a help eat; a counsellor and not a sinipleton.— Y ou may not be able to carry a piano into your house, hut you can purchase a spin ning wheel or a set of knitting needles. If you, cannot purchase any new novel, you may be able to take some valuable pa per. If you cannot buy a ticket to the ball, you can visit some afflicted neighbor. Be careful then when you loolf for com panions and whom you choose. We know many a foolish man, who instead .of choos ing the industrious and prudent woman for a wife, took one from the fashionable walks, and is now lamenting his folly in dust and ashes. He ran into thafirowith his eyes wide open, and who but himself is' to blame '( , •. The time was when ladies who went a visiting took their work with them. This is the reason why we have such excellent mothers. How singular would a gay wo man look in a fashionable circle darning her father’s stockings, or carding wool to spin ? Would not her companions laugh at her ? And yet such a woman would he a prize for somebody! Blessed is the man who chooses his wife from the despised girls “who work for a living.” , A Fuuny £kGldi. A Hoosier, an awful ugly maii'j relating his travels in Missouri, said that he had arrived at Chickenvillc in the forenoon, and just a few days before there had been a boat bursted, and a heap of people burn ed and killed one way and another. So, at last, as I went into a grocery, a squad of people followed in, and one bowed and said, “It’s one of the unfortunate r sufferex-s by the bursting of the Franklin." Upon that he asked me to drink with him, and as I put the tumbler to my mouth he stopped mo of a sudden. “I beg your pardon, but —" “But what ?” sez I. “Just fix your mouth that way again/' sez he. N I done it just as I was gwinOdo drink, and I’ll be hanged if I didn't think they would gone into fits. They yelled and hooped like a pack of wolves* Finally one of the gang sez : “Don’t make fun of the unfortunate; he’s hardly got over being blowed up yet. Let’s make up-a puss for him." They then throwed in, and made up five dollars. As the spokesman handed me the change, ho axed, mb : “Where did you find yourself after the explosion ?" “In a flat boat," sez I. ’ “How far-off?" “Why,” scz I, “I never seed, but as Dear as I can guess, it was about three hundred and seventy iniles.” i . You’d orter seen that crowd scatter.'

A Noble Sentiment. —Same true heart has given expression to its generous nature in the following beautiful seqti-. ment; Never desert a friend when chu mies gather around him—when aicknesst falls on the heart—when the world is dark and cheerless—is the time to try ,a friend. They 1 who turn from a scene of distress betray their hypocrisy, and prove that in terest moves them. If you hare a friend who loves you and studiesyour interest and happiness, be sure to sustain himin adversity. Let him feci that his former kindness is appreciated, and that his love it not thrown away.' Real fidelity may be rare, but it exists in the heart.. Who has not seen and felt its power? jFhey deny its worth who never loved a friend or Ist bore'd to make a friend happy.
