to speak a word it' his pes tle ac 1., 44 co an

This, with the numb, le."-, art. 4,, gener
osity which Charley was never :tied ul per
forming, made him the hero of that little vil
lage, and caused him to be beloved and re
spected, by both young and 1,1.1, 6,1 Ms try
I miles around. To say that Nettie Gray was
indifferent to his many visits, or for the ar
dent love he entet tamed fur her, %sunlit be .
doing injtistice to her warm apptedtative
heart. But the spirit of mischief seemed to
possess her, fah& though she WlO4 11,111bratly

her loft!, and would ediffier Sc. rt•orly and un
rederiedly with liffn upon any
when In. approached the subject thut lay
hearest his heart, she was oil like a ft ight

or that the subject was di:4'5510111 to her,
(for her own heal t was tquallt• interested
but she was delighted to tease tutu, and hear
tily enjoyed his discomfiture en such Occa
sions. She dthetv he loved her with all the
strength et his soul, and she had no fear of
alienating his affections from herself—ah
event which would have given tier the deep
est pain.
Charley hiki begun to think seriotisly of
marriage ; and why riot There stood the
cottage embowered in trees, many of which
*ere bending under their heavy load of tare
fruit, unoccupied. It needed only the gen•
tae presence of his bright eyed Nettie to
make it a paradise. His income was more
than sufficient to satisfy their most extrav
agant wants, and why should ho not marry?
Many times lie had visited Nettie for the ex
press purpose of making knovfn Iris wishes,
but had as often been presented front saying
what he wished to say, by the little mill
i:fling's 'tubing away at the first word he
uttered on the subject. To think of supply
ing her place froth the many fair damsels in
it—who would gladly hate accepted his
hand, was out of the question, It was Nettie
he loved, and Nettie only, and he felt shore
she returned hts affections, but hovi could
he ever get Wistried if he wai nett permitted
to propose. ".I must resort to stratagem,"
he thought, and he partially formed Waal.
plans to bring the little beauty to terms, and
as often abandoned them.
the mind was busy with such thoughts as
one bright morning in September ho walked
towards FOrmet Gray's mansion. He !cit.
rarely asconfied the hill, at the top of which
upon a level table land stood the great old
liaise, when he was startled by a familiar
Voice (tiling out :
" Bring the ladder, Dick ! I want' to get
down." And looking up, he beheld Nettie
seated in the wide spreading branches of a
large apple-tree thet.stood.in the. Bahl near
the road. 'Dick, perched upoji the topmost

tree, wee quietly tilling a basket with. the
eibh fruit.
Waif. a ininlito, ais," replied Dick. with
out looking up . " I have got my basket al
moat full. I'll come in a trntitm."
• Come now, Dick ! quick ! Quick,'
again called the impatient voice or hid sin
ter.
Dick evidently began -to think there was
something wrong, l'Or, as he turned around,
his eye instantly caught the sight of our hero
coming 4p the road, but a few -rods from
where they were. Ile instantly descended
from theitrte, but instead of carrying, llie
ladder to assist h as sister to descend, lie /intro
loud shoji, threw his cap into the alr,
cleared the wall s•ith one boelid, and ran
rapidly tiotvn the hill, shouting at the top of
his voice, "Q, Mr' Uraftoh, I've treed a
coon !" Thep placing his hands upon the
ground before him, he
,turned some five or
six somersaults, picked up his cap, all ran
with all his 'nig', ttd the house. The little
rogue evidently loved mischief as well as did
his pretty sister.
dharley's that thought was to go to the
assistance of Nettie, and ho leaped the wall
and approached the tree. Taking the lad
der from the pear tree, he was about placing
it for her to descend, when a sudden thought
suggested itself " She cannot tint away
from me now," and not stopping to connith r
the ungallant act, he grasped a lower branch
and with .tome gay retrial k, swung himself
tightly up and mak a seat by het side.

0nt,11, , ,n1 proudly as , tho-replied, and there waa
a spice of hitternens to her tone:
May I ask the namo.of her who has been
honored with the offer of the hand and heart
of my noble friend f'
" First let me describe het. She is a
beautiful girl, and possesses a warm and
loving heart. She has but one fault —if,ficolt
it may he called. She delights to tease those
who love her best, and often has she given
me a severe bean pang. Tot, Nettie, I lota
her deeply and fervently, and it shall be the .
object of my life to guard her from harm, to
project her, as far as I am - able, from the
slightest breath of sorrow, and 1. shall be
abundantly rewarded by het loto, Nettie, I
have mar offered her my hand tho' sly haS

tie. Dearest, call ydu ask her name I"
Nettie gave ono long, inquiring look, as
though she but half comprehended his
Words.
" 07111ydu be my wife, Nettie 7"
" What !" she replied, half bewilderingly,
"-Aro you not going to be married . ? Aro
you not forever lost to mo I"
" Yes, if you will consent to be mine."
She tedlized what it would be to loose
him ; her hedd sank upon his bosom, and
bursting into teats, she murmured
" ea, Gharley, I will."
Soon `Master bick oatoti bounding into
the otchard, one band filled with a hilge slice
of bread an,i butter. While with the other he
tossed his Cap into the air, showing that he
fully comprehended the state. of affairs,
shmiting dt tho top of hid voice
" fiotlo, Mr. Grafton, ain't yoU glad I
tteed Mir for you I"
Both greeted this sally with a burst o
laughter, and soon all three were engaged
in a wild romp over the green turf.
We hardly need add that thesarne autumn
witnessed iLr!gtlt t • merry kedding at the old
mansion of farmer Gray.
The Broderick Terry Duet
From the scowl nt of the unfortunate ail' it
which reshited in the death of David C.
Broderick, Which is given below, it will be
seen *hat was the real ramp' of the hostile
meeting bettreen the California Senator and
. 6upreinn Judge. The Califoenia p4eril are
discussing pro and con the whle
anti the general opinion is , that t he duel was
a "fair and inintrable one," no Lick and no
't,papirney. ,
This whole trouble, faits perianal aspects,
grew out of a conversation in Jhne hat, be
ttrt.en Mr. Broderick and a Mr. Verf6y, a
former law partne'v of Mr. Terry, meeting at
the breakfast table of the International Ho
tel. Mr. Pcrley publishes the following ac
count of so much of that conversation as ap
plied to the Judge. lie says: ,
" I was sitting at the breakfast table of
the International Hotel, directly by the aide
of Mrs. Col. James. Her husband sat on
Vie ether side
. of her. Hirectly opposite sat
Solover and Broderick. I spoke to both po:
lady as I took a seat, and then commenced
pnirersation with Mrs. Jamea.
ItroderiCh then addreemsa himself to me,
As follows •
'•Your friend Terry had been abusing me
at Sacramento."
said —••W ha t is it, Sir. Bratterjek ?"
Ile replied : •'The—miserable wrath,
after being Aided out of at Contention,
went down there, and made a speech abus
ing me. I hate defended him at times when
all others deserted him, t paid, and sup
ported three newspdpetis to defend- him do•
ring the Vigilance Comlbittee days, and
this k all the gratitude I get froth the—

ferred on him. I have hitherto Apdkth or
him as an horrt man—it the only Anesi
man on the bench or a miserable, ccirimpi

taken. I take it all back. Ile is just as

I then %poke as follows : “3.1 r. Broderick

I said : w•tll In(nrtit thn dodge or the
language you have tried concerning hilt."
lie said • r)3 so ; t wiahyou to do so. I

I then athl . .111C1 WOlllll not dare to use
thin language to Ann. '
lie sneered at this, and echoed to me--
"would not tlore."
I repluid : sir you would not Barr
