E= "Rep t says that my queenly cousin is to lay aside her absolute sceptre, and submit to a lord and mas ter," saiifGeorge Mason, to his cousin, Emily Earl, as she took his arm for an evening walk. “If you mean that 1 am to be married, that is a re port which truth does not require me to contradict;' void the young lady; in a tone adapted to repress the farnillar manner of her companion.

Is he like the picture you 'drew of the -Tian you would marry, as we sat by the willow brook from.the rising of the moon to its meridian? You remember that most beautiful night?" sqt is not desirable to remember all 'Oa follies of childhood," said Emily, coldly. Mason was silent. It was plain that they were' no longer what they had been, brother and sister: After walking for some distance in silence, Emily remarked, in a tone inviting conversation, "You must have seen a great deal of the world." _ "I have had some means of observation," he re plied, "but I Kaye seen nothing to wean me from this spot, and from my friends here." "Your friends are obliged to you forrhi — : compli ment." 44 did not intend the remark as a compliment:' Again there was an interval of jHence. -"I have' been absent four years," said Mason, as though speaking to himself, "and I am not conscious of any change, so far as my feelings are concerned. The same persons and things which I then loved, I love now. The same views uilife which I then cherish - ed I cherish now." "Experience and knowledge of the world, said Emily, "ought to give wisdom." "I win so perverse as to regard it as wisdom to holdon to the dreams of our early days:" "Our views ought, it seems to me, to change as we grow older." "1 am not sure that We ought to 'grow old, so far nu our feelings are concerne4." "You would engage in the vain'effort. to retain the dews and freshness of morning, after e the sun has <arisen — with a burning heat." "I believe the dew of . our youth may be preserved even until old age," , 4 , 1 am surpritzed that acquaintance with the world has nut coarected your views of life. One would think that von had lived in entire seclusion." "I nm furpaised that the romantic, warm-hearted Emily Earl should become the worldly-wise lecturer ef her, cousin." • "We bad bear speak upon some other subject? Had you a pleasant voyage homeward?;' "Yes. ft could not be otherwise, when my face teas toward 'my own, my native land,' and the friends so fresh in my remembrance." A slight shade of displeasure tlittered across Em ily's features. She made no remark: , "Where is Susan Greyr said Mason: "She is dead." • "Indeed! She was jusimy own age. She was single-hearted girl." ''She often inquired for you. You never fancied 'yourself in love with her." "No. IVlty that question!" "She was under the impression that we Were en gaged, and seemed quite relieved when 1 informed her she was mistaken." "What has become of Mary Carver?'' "She is married, and lives in that house," pointing to a miserable hut near at hand. "ls it possible?" "Her husband is intemperate. It was a clandes tine marriage—a love match, you know:' "Was her husband intemperate when she married him?" "Not habitually so. Ile waa so very romantic' and devoted to her, so that, I suppose, she thought she could reform him." "What has become of Mr, 'talent'', your old . 'friend?' admirer,lie would have said, but he deemed it unwise "lie is a lawyer here, in a small way. I helitve they think of sending him to Congress." ' "Is he ,married?" ny, t o - "I thought he seemed to be attached to you; at least I hoped that he would become my cousin." "I will answer your question in regard to 'others —Tay own affairs"do not require remark." This rebuke, so unlike any thing he had ever re ceived from his cousin, led him to fix ,his gaze upon her countenance, as if to make sure of her identity. There could be no mistake. There was the same brilliant eye, the same faultless features on which he had gazed in former years. A conciliating smile led him to resume his inquiries. • "Is Eliza Austin ovirrie I?" His voice, as he ask-. ekl this question, was far from nattiral i perhaps in consequence of the agitation which the rebuke just .spoken of liuAi occasioned, ' F _ • • "No; she lives somewhere in the village, I know exactly where." "Do you ever see herr • "Yes; she lives with her aunt, who some washes for us, so that I see her niece occasions "Why does she live with her aunt?"

Few words more passed between them d the remainder of their wall:. "You do not stay out as late as you used to said Mrs. Earl, as they entered the parlor. "We are no longer children," said Emily. NI could scarcely repress an audible -.sigh," as words fell from her lips. At an early hour, ii paired to his chamber. CHAPTER 11. George Mason was left. an orphan in his {early youth. lie then became a member of his uncle's family, and the constant companion of his cousin Erni,ly. He desired no society but hers. 'H i er slight ly imperious temper did not interfere with the growth of his affection. She had a sister's place in his glowing, heart. He was in some setis l e her teacher, and!slie caught something of his . romantic nature. Of the little circle of her associates, he was the idol; - - - At. the age of fourteen lie left home to purshe his studies for two years at a public institution. At the end of that period he became • u clerk in a large commercial establishment in the city. At. ,the close of the first year he accompanied one of the piincipale abroad, and remained there in charge of the business for nearly four years. Ile was nOw on I the hign road to wealth. Sooti after George Mason had gone abroad, Emily Earl went to the city to complute her educat i on.— She was in due time initiated into the mysteiies_of fashionable life. Introduced to society by a t of unquestionable rank, her face and form pre: attractions sufficient to make her 4 object of ate and flattery. Four successive winters were- in the city. She was the foremost object "who flattered, sought, and sued." Is it s that her judgment was perverted, nod her hea en out? Is it strange that'her cousin 'found changed being? She had engaged to marry one whose claitnito her regard was the thousands he possessed, and Ow ea gerness with which he was sought by those 'whose chief end was an establishment in life. She had tanght herself to believe that the yearnings of the heart were to be classed with the follies of childhood. Henry Ralston was the sun. of a small farmer, or rather of a man who was the possessor of a small farm, and of a large soul. Henry was modest, yet aspiring; gentle, yet intense in is affections. The z patient toil and rigid self-denial of his father gave him the advantage of an excellent education. In childhood he was the frequent companion 'of George and Emily. pen then an attachment sprung up in his heart for his fair p'aymate. This was quietly cherished; and when he entered upon the practice of the laW in his natve village, he otThred Emily; his hand. It was, without hesitation or apparent pain, fejected. Thus she cast away the only true heart which Was ever laid upon the altar of her beauty. Ile bore the disappointment 'with out ward calmness, though the iron entered his soul. 'lid gave all his energies to the labors of his profession. Such was the impression of his ability and Worth, that he was abont tobe supported, apparently without opposition, for a scat in the national' councils. Eliza .tustin was the daughter of a deceased min ister, %vita had worn himself out !n the cause of be nevolence, and died, leaving his wife and, daughter penniless. She was several years younger than George and Emily,; but early trials seemed to give an early maturity to her mind. She was seldom their companion, for her young days Were spent in toil, aiding her mother in her efforts Ao obtain a scan ty sobsistance. Iler intelligence, her perception of the beautifll, and her devotion to her mother madea deep impression upon George, and led him to regard 'her as he regarded no other earthly being. Long before the idea of love was associated with her name, he felt for her a respect approaching.to veneration. Ile had often desired to write to her during his-ah sence, but his entire ignorance of her situatiun ren dered it unwise. The waters of affliction had been wrung out to her in a full cup: The long and distressing 'sickness of her mother was ended only by the grave., She was then invited to take up her nbode with her father's sister, whose intemperate husband had broken her spirit, but had not exhausted her heart. it was sad for Eliza to exchange the quiet home, the voice of Affection, of prayer, and of praise for the harskcrim inations of the drunkand's abode. She would have left that abode for service,but for the distress it would have given her aunt. Death*. length removed the tormentor; and those who had ministered to his appetite swept away all his property . The mind of Aunt Mary, now more than half a wreck, utterly revoked at the idea of seperation from her ,niece.l Eliza could not leave her.— Declining eligible situation al a teacher in a dis tant village, - She rendered her aunt all the assistance in her power in her lowly employment—believing that the path dictated by affection, and duty, though it might meet with the neglect and the scorn of men, would not fail to secure the approbation of God. cilArrEn 111 "IVell, George," said Mr. Earl, as they were sea ted at the breakfast-table, "how do you intend to dis pose of yourself to-day I" •'I hate a great many old friends to visit, sir."

Eliza ordered a plain white dress—a very unnecessary expenditure, : it was thought, !since it was certain that she would not receive an invitation. It was a pity that she should thus, prepare disappointment for herself, poor qi i ng ! Benfield and Mason arrived together on the appoin ted day. All things were in order. The prepara tions were complete. The guests assembled—the "big white' house" was filled as it never had been filled befo!re. Suddenly there is a hush in the crowd —the folding-doors are thrown open—the bride and bridegroom l are seen, prepared-for the ceremony that is to maket them one,--in law. The words are spoken. the ceremony is perfomed, the oppressive silence is removed+ ' the noise and gayety common to such oc casions take place.

GEN. IVOIITIPS POLITICS We find in the Washington Union, of the Idth, thiee letters from this distingnished soldier in reply to commu nications from friends who were anxious to ascertain his political sentiments. They are eminently characteristic of a brave soldier 40 1 nn' honest Mini.' and unlike those that have been so Plentifully given tolito world by anoth er General, frankly ittiavVer the ivariclus questions pro pounded. Gen. Worth is a Democrat, and avows his opinions with the frankness and candor of one, and altho' whigery has claimed hint fOr more than a yens past; as indeed it had every officer'who has at all distinguished himself in the prest war With Mexico, we think:that party will now be satisfied it was on the track of the wrong coon. In these letters the General says he is opposed to a United, States Bank, in favor of the Indfpenclent Treasury irys: tern, regards 'the Veto Power Issentially dhuocratic, popular and eonservativc;," thinks that "the right of the 'people of the different sections of our Union toearry their property (orwhatever kind or complexion) to, and parti cipate in, the territory about to be acquired from Mexico, (or acquired from any other power on this continent) can not lie seriously questioned. ,When the acquired territo ry shall be admitted into the sisterhood of states;" contin ues th . i General, "it will be for the admitted states to de termine all things relating to their own social condition?" Ilti believes there never has been a "war in our history', (always excepting that for independence, which stand's out, and will through all time, a case by itself,) nor in that of any other people,commenced under greater provocation,, or waged with higher humanity," than the Mexican war.

In regard td the graduation and reduction of the price of the public lands, he says, "I would vote any reduction necessary to place farms within the reach of industrious bong fide sclrs or emigrants, regarding the early occu pation and cultivation of the public domain as the richest public treasure; hoping still to see an annual surplus over and above expenses of administration—as surveys, sales.. &e.—carried to the public treasury, -to be appropriated among other national objects, to the improvement of our grentl akes and rivers, to the extent of constitutional per mission. It is my settled conviction, that within twenty years the commerce of the great lakes and western rivers will reach a magnitude fur exceeding, and ever thereafter taking the lead of, that flowing to and from the . Attantier_ and when our lines of communication with the points now attained on the'Pacific are ut cmee established and opened to the enterprise of our people, there will hardly be found a term of comparison. We shall exhibit the ordinary spec tacle; under our free and glorious institutions, of clutch ing and controlling the commerce of Europe with ono hand, and the riches of China with the other, I speak of riches; but the fulfihnent of our high political :and social destiny is the prominent and grand consideration."

If says; in speaking of the opening of the Michigan and ; Illinois canal, New York has now an internal water way to New Or ears. , It might have said more more—that canal hi not the II st or only one that unites the five great em poriums of ' the United States. There is , a canal from Toledo to Cincinnati, from Cleveland to Portsmouth, and , from this to Beaver, all preferable. so far as the New I York trade is concerned; to the new channel alluded to, from Chico o to the Illinois river. But the Sun say* and argues truly that the imagination can hardly portion the ultnrnani effect these, together with the rail roads now building, will have upon the population, wealth and re , sources of the Lake country and the Ststo of New York, Tho Western Lakes will some have a larger marine than the Mediterranean, and bo surrounded by a denser porn , lation than is to . bo found even in the countries which bor i der that great sea. These strides to commercial great , peas are but the steps of liberty, education and religion, securely and prosperously advancing to the consumma tion of human happiness, so far as it may be attained on. earth. While the old World goes sluggishly 'along, dis turbed only by the convulsive throes of oppressive hu manity, as yet not succeeded by tranquillity and security. The new is rapidly fulfilling its great destiny and inviting the unhappy of all nations to share its blessings and its triumphs. Uwe are true to ourselves and to heaven, noth ing can interrupt our progress. The Western as well as the Southern States aro now more nearly allied to us than ever. They are not separated from tis any longerpoliti cally or 'geographically. We have dailylntereourse with them by the new invention of the magnetic wire, and ev ery expression of our thoughts reaches them with the sped of lightning. We pass to the farthcrest of their boundaries in a few hours' journey, and find ourselves at home, Who can tell what this state of things will bring about. We are as near to Cincinnati in point of time as our New York *esters once were to Boston. , And with the diminntioncl' distance we have apparently a geomet rical ratio of it creased business. Who' is them that fears to enlarge he boundaries of the republic when there is an' accempan)fing consolidation and a neW and stronger affinity? What othernations might dread, wo gladly wet come, and our s fety lies in tlie creation of new tics, not , 1. , endangered by the imospition of new shackles, How much have we t be thankfurfor„ in this state of things? We should not frget our responsibilities in our prosperity, nor cease to bo igilant because we aro powerful. In this view, it is of the highest importance that wo should irisad here toot o our c 'titntional organization, and frown down the tilt nttemp to invade its provisions. We must suf fer no questions in the abstract, or impracticable feforms to be ade, the °less issues of the , day, The Constitu tion, with its patentees and compromises, must be the "corner stond , ' l of our political creed, and the controlling power of our po itical action. We must stand by this char ter of our incloi cadence with firmness and devotion, and maintain its integrity against all interpolations.
