And so he was, as far as a brown stone palace in Fifth Avenue, and the repu tation of being worth half a million, were Concern ed. Everybody who wrote to him put Esquire after Ids name, but that did not make him a gentleman by a great deal. . . Jeremiah Crouk started in life as a soap and can dle manufacturer, in which business he continued esee after his elevation into "goof society." At cost, the dipping and moulding processes were con. ducted on a small scale, while a single cat for the collection of ashes and oleaginous matt r, proved quite sufficient to supply the demand for these indispensable articles in the prtaltihtion of either hard or soft soap. But honest industry, prudence and economy, met, in his ease, their reward. Jere miah pro-pored in his business, and continued to prosper until he became a rich nvtn. ladustry, prudence and economy are very com mendable virt lies, thoogh by no means cardinal vir tues., By this remark, do not understand us to dis parage industry, prudence and economy; they are virtues that all men should practice; hut while these are practiced, weightier things should not: be, as, alas! they are at present, utmost entirely neglected. We grow rich in this world's good-, but poor in the heart's better riches. Their holies they lift ;Move their fellows, while their minds sink, too often, below, instead of maintaining the level 'with which hey vet out in life. this is a melancholy but unde niable .fact. In the case of Jeremiah, as his coffers began to till up, he began to think himself a better man. tie had always maintained that lie was as good as ally »alob in the land, but now lie began to think him sel something better than men who Stood at the level up CI which he stood a few years before. Aar) as worry kept pouring in, his self-estimation kept tisi g . TI T wife of Jeremiah Crouk was ri plain, sensi ble woman. She loved her children well enough to find, in the care of them, sufficient to do to keep her !Multi healthily employed; she was not, therefore, much troubled with newly-ac - wired ideas of self-im portance. The growing consequence of her liiis 'hand had some trouble, at times, to carry such on appendage as a sensible t‘ife with i it. The two oldest daughters, Amanda nod Margaret, were only la little way in their "teens" when their father's ideas in regard to things of a personal nature be'gan tobo somewhat expansive. He became all at once, ciiiicerned about the best schools, and had them re moved from a seminary at which they were most carefully instructed in all the useful and ornamental brandies of a young lady's education, and sent to a "setter" institution—fhat is, one at which were con gregated tliC children of fashionable people. Neither Amanda nor Margaret liked the change; nor were they benefited by it. Amanda, espec ially, soon began to acquire notions a little differ nt from what she had beenin the habit of maintaining, and to con sider the fact of her father's being 'rich as giving ber consequence. Margaret, Who was younger, was more like her mother, and, therefore, less apt to have her head turned with what she saw and 'heard in the new world into which this change had • introduced her; but even she took an unnatural growth in this sickly atmosphere—not iso much, Weever, as to produce a very apparent moral dis tortion. Even after she had completed her educa tion, she remained a very sensible girl—vulgarly so, in some respects, according. to the judgment of hernmre fashionable acquaintances. _ About the time these young ladies were ready to •come 'put, their father had finished his splendid res idence in Fifth Avenue, and was ready to take his Place among the upper ten thousand. He had built a large manufactory away up on the island, so that the'odor of his soap works might not taint the city atmosphere or remind people that ho was but a soap and candle matter alter ail. Ile had several times thought of givinglup his extensive works and en gaging in some new business, but something of the prudence of old times remained, and kept him back front committing this folly. As soon as Mr. Crouk had. taken possession of his new home at the Court' End of the town, he issued invitations for a large party, and went to a thousand dollars expense to hare it. all upon the most grand and fashionable scale. For old acquaintance sake, as well as to let them see how large and fashiona ble he had grown, Mr. Crouk invited sundry ilj i ideals not fairly entitled to associate with the W . I. per ten. On the night of the grand affair, much to his mortification, lie found himself with hut few representatives of the "ten thousand" in his Mag nificent drawing-roams, and a. full attendance, to the man, woman and daughter, of the plebeian herd, who were invited more out of complitnent than any thing else. And what added to his chagrin, was the fact that only a small number of those who had not come, deigned even to'send their "regrets;" and also the fact that two or three of the families, after arriving and seeing the wives and daughters of vul gar. people there, withdrew without feeling called Upon to offer a word of apology. But Mr.lCrouk, who felt himself as good as the best and better than many hundreds of thousands ) around him, was not to bo killed oft' in this Way.—, He was line of the "upper ten" and no mistake, and they were bound to acknowledge him—and so they ) did in 'the end. Money and style were the pass pofts, find he soon made his peers feel that his claims were rit, to be lightlyesteemed. I In this struggle of Jeremiah Crouk for a place I{l the rarOfs of the exclusive tew,iiis wife and daugh ters did not as warmly second him as he could wish, although there was no opposition. The motherls 'good ease impressed itself, as a natural Conse quence, upon the minds of Amandmand Margaret, } and he right views, uttered on all fitting occasion 6, totma n echo in their minds. They saw deepr, e ven Is i girls, than the glittering Surface, and 4_ idersto . that true happines was rather quiet and u t , ebfrus re than brilliant. and imposing in its mien. 'With he full liberty of dressing in, the most cos ly and st i •Ilsh manner, they rather suffered their taste •„tribe guided by that of their mother, and were, on most occasions, attractive rather from their Want of elabor to ornament than on account of its opposite. The c nsequence was, that even among the "upiier ten, ~ manda and Margaret. were general favorites.

But'these two strong indications of a low origin seriously diaturbed the father, wytrwas foreveicom plaining about the - want of styl in the dress of his daughters, and the wantof dignity in their manners. Whatl he could do, was alwas done. Ile ,never permitted them to go to the opera without a pri‘ate box could be obtained; and wh l cn he contd. have a word to say about the toilet artangetnents, insisted upon a proper use of ornament, especially of rich jewelry. The private box at the opera was not ob jected to very strongly by the girls; jt. was pleasant and c l mfortable to be separate d) from the crowd, to be ex mpt from really vulgar dontact and the sun dryi at noyances that all must siffer even id the most fashionable audiences. Still it was setting them apart in a manner not altogether agreeable to their feelings, and it would have beeless so if they had been aware that they were pre ty generally known by the theatre-going public an remarked upon as i i °two of the upper ten," So m ch forlthe position and pretentious of Jeremiah Crook and fatally. The two' sisters were not without their admirers among the young men of their! own circle, as well as some who stood on the outside, yet dared to cast upon them ambitious eyes. Spite of their want of ostentation in dress, and the ett ire absence of drift tocratic airs, let them appear in company when they would, they soon bade grouP of admirers about them. This tact greatly surprised voung Mines A'ho were conscious of being . fa more brilliant, and, as they imagined, more logl ly attractive. But young men have a greater fans for looking a little deeper than the outside when tl ey feel at all inclin ed to pay serious attention to y tong ladies. Amanda:had:many wooers, an litiwas not very long before her heart was won,'' an by a lover against whoui her father could bring i o manner of objec thin. ' As a man, it is ,pleasa it to be able to say that he was worthy of her Ilan I. But the heart of 1 Margaret, to all appearances, remained unimpress ed, although many, attracted bj, \her fortune, her na tive excellences, or both, sonet an 'alliance. The addre a ses of one young man, in particular, were en couraged by her father, but Margaret maintained to wards him a cold but polite reserve. He was never t able o approach her near enough to ask the!all-iin porta it question. Al, at once, and without rin . ' apparent cause for l so•doing, Margaret assumed a still more simple style. of drpss. At homeOrhbrocd, in public places or in privae assemblies, she appeared with scarcely an ornament on her person. Every article of jewelry was laid aside, and all rich or attractive co:ors avoid ed. Iller fattier remonstrated, lint in vain, he stern- . . ly ordered a compliance with'his wishes, but With no better ellixt, and he was finally - constrained to let tl e "wilful; girl" have her stivn way. To the eyes of most of her friends, Margaret appeared none the less attractive.on account of this change, her xtreine neatness and good taste mating bp for all th i liciencies. Instead of the number of her levers being diminished, they were increased—but her heart remained untouched. ; 1 The singular freak, as it was coisidered lir her family, was continued by Mifegaret fur more than l a year during which she nithdrew herself from corn- , pantf as much us it was possible for her to do, and appe,ared to take more deli g ht in domestic employ'-' merit 'than in fashionable pleasure-taking. Mr. Croak was troubled; he saw in this evidences of al vulgar . mind, indications'_ of a perverted and groyeling taste. i . . _ II PiS the time passed on, and Amanda's wedding : pproached.

"She's out late; it'tl been dark for an hour," re marked the father, The mother also exrpesse(l, concern on account of her dabghteestabsence. The tea hour went by, and Yet Margaret did not return. Mr. Crook began to, feel uneasy. The singular interview be had held 'With his clerk- sug gested the fear that some one, I opeloss of gaining his consent, might run off with Margaret, as Jud kin was about running ofiwith the daughter of some one unknown to him. This ear caused him 'to think of Margaret's inexplicable conduct in some things, and thoughts of this gnite a new life to hi 4 fears. As soon as he was along with his wife, he suggested to her what was in his mind, but shd, treated it lightly. Still Mr. Croult felt troubled, and he walked about uneasily, listening for the ring ing of the street-door bell; but to bell rung, and no" daughter returned. Ten o'cloci came, and she was yet absent. Hark! there is a ring.. The waiter goes to the door. The parents listen —th e f at h er with almost breathless interest.

The Waiter returns along the hall alone, opens the parlor door, a'(l4l bands in two letters, one fur Mr: Crook and due for his wife.. We will only give theeontents of the former. It was as follows: "Dk‘a Dm—Although you !lid not advise-me so many words to run away will! the young lady of whom' f spoke to you - CO-ILly,' your approval,' and in doing what I have since done_ I have acted with a consciousness that I illad your entire sanction, without which should have hardly, felt at liberty to take so important a seep.

He stood leaning upon a broken gate in front of ' his miserable dwelling. His tatered hat was in his hand, and the cool breeze lifted his matted locks which covered his once noble brow. His counte ' ounce was bloated and disfigured, but in his eye there was an unwonted look—a mingled expression of sadnessend regret,'. • Perhaps he was listening to the low, melancholy voice of his patient wife, as she soothed the sick babe on her bosom; or perchance he was gazing upon the sweet face of his eldest daughter, as at the-;open window she _plied her needle to obtain for her mother and the poor" chil dren a scanty sustenance. Poor Mary! for her self she cared not: young as she Was, her spirit was already crushed by poVerty, unkindness and neglect. As the inebriate thus stood, his eyes - wandered over the miserable habitation before him. The windows were broken- and the doors hingeless: scarce a ves tige of comfort remained; yet memory borehim back to the days of his youth, when it was the abede of peabe and happiness. In fancy he saw again the old arm chair where Sat his father, with the Bible. upon his knee: and he seemed to hear again the sweet notes of his Mother as she laid her hand upon the head of her darling boy, and prayed that God would bless-him and preserve him froni evil. Long years had passed away, yet tears came into the eyes of the. drunkard at the recollectien of his mother's love. • "Poor mother," he muttered, " it is well that thou art sleeping in the grave; it would break thy heart toknow that thy son is a wretched and de graded being—a miserable outcast from society." He turned slowly a l way. Thep within an adjoin ing forest was ardell where the beams of the sun • scarce ever pdpetrated. Tall trees grew on either side, whose ht , atichesl, meeting above, formed a can opy of leaves. where the birds built their nests, and poured forth happy songs.

Suddenly a soft arm was thrown around his neck, and a sweet voice Mur mured—"He wilt fii•give you, father." Starting to his feet, the inebriate saw standing. before him his yOungest daughter, a chilli of six years. "Why are pie heiv Annie?" he said, ashamed that the innocent child should have witnessed his grief. "I came to gather the dillies which g , th to gather I to- .. grow upon the banks," she replied, "see, I have got my basket full and now I am goinglto sell them."

Nos Sh.tveltir.-+A correspondent of the New 'York Journal 'of Commerce makes the following interesting . remarks in reg r ard to Mexico? Peon Slavery 'e-itnctly speaking, there is no such thing as Penn Slavery, in Mexico, as the law by which In dians are held in bondage is equally applicable to, every class of society; yet it is rare that the law is enforced ogninSt a White man, as public opinion isl opposed to it. ll.hut I have known two white men sent into the interior under this law. Both were British subject . They ivlve accountants, and had become very d.sipated, and consequently were over whelmed in debt. They Were. sent to haciendas to perform ;servicbs at the pleasure of their principal creditor,, who'paid 'all the small debts which had .ifceroed before theills. Thus they. effectually be came slaves; but they were- always treated with more deference than peones or laborers; still, they could riot leave without the consent of the creditor or owner of thb Hacienda. The manlier of suing for debt is very simple and very just, when one is suspected of fraud; but the Alcaldes exlercise a g reat deal of discretionary power in exae,utieg the law. Yon have only" to *sent your. account to the Al calde, who immediately sends for the debtor, and if the account proves tm be correct, there is no listen ing. to the plea--=-"l;cannot pay" or "I am not able to pay." The Alcalde orders him to my it at once, or to come to some mutual arrangemenCwith the credi tor befordhe leaves the office; and if it be a small sum, he is held in Custody In nil it is paid, or detain ed ut the plea Sure Of the latter. ; If it be a large sum, the process is ! the same, only, if he have Utiles or effects, they can be seized at once, and iii -three dais sold at publicl auction to Ottisly the - debt.— MeNicans of any standing in society, however, ex-, ercise a great deal of lenity towards each other, un der this law,. hesides, the Alcalde will not decide against his friends, or acquaintances, however 'just may be the.dibt, but will hurl some way to evade the responsibility. ' It is a very common remark; "I.canuot collect the debt until annther . Alcalde is chosen." Tlie law - is - made to ; bear-- -- mure particu larly upon foreigners, degraded whites and Indians, yet there is no verbal distinctiOn. In the interior, tar frofi the ceast, the Alcaldes regulate the' wages of ihe Indians, who happen to) be free and out Of deld, and every foreigner is warned to pay no more than snah a price for such service, least they should become discontented with the' small pittance they receive, I hod occasion once to travel some dis tance into the interior, and it being necessary ; to proceed about thirtrmiles on horseback, the Meal de sent hir an Lubin to carry my bogage on foot, which consisted °fa small trunk, mattress, halo muck, blanket, tic., and I was instructed to pay him no more than foui; Hills—a half dollar' _ Lu the towns which the Americans held diving the war, justice was administered with a great deal of impartiality; the American Governors informed all magistrates that they did not. wish to make any ne v regulations, as their laws were good enough, if hey were only impartially administered. Under this who!esome arrangement, I knew an Alcalde himself brought before the first Judge, and compell ed to pay a debt i under his own laws, which he never .was, known to do before. The people looked on with astonishinent at this even-handed justice, but the Judg'o did nut dare to decide contrary to law. He knew that if he did, there would be an and to his judgeship in twenty-four hours.' I ! A Hinto's ELoguitsce.—The Ohio Sta Seaman is I filled with the detatls of the late reception of th i p gal lant Cul. MORGAN, of Ohio. In his reply in the speech of the orator, on the part of the citizens, he says: - • - Allow me to refer to one portion of yourleloguent remarks. You spoke well and faithfully in .vindi cation of war. and I rejoice to hearit. -A false pub lic opinion exists in regard to this subject, and tho effects resulting (ruin it. "It is a common thing to hear of its debasing and degenerating influence.— Thisiis all wrong: Will any -one pretend tO say that the noble soldiers of Washington , were dintsed by fighting for freedom? • Is it to be supposed that man's nature will be come corrupted by his rushing to the national t.an:l - heart. full of high and noble sentiments, and his eye beaming with enthusiastic love fur hie country and his home. - The influence of war is high and ennohlitg; it inspires lofty aspiration, and a deep love of coUntry; ' it ehcourages generosity and manliness of soul, and sets the stamp of infamy on all that it mead and sordid. We are indebted to the sword for the Free institutions we now possess; for the freedom of re ligion: for the progress of education: and for ell the great political and religions blessings which the American people enjoy. The sword is the right. hand friend of liberty—its keen edge has in, a t ight. hand measure hewn ow the manacles which forageihave bowed down the serfs of Europe, and has advanced their condition at least outs century. The next blow that is struck will hew away the rotion pillars upon which lie thrones of tyrants stand; andl high above the crush of their fall will gleam the blood red blade of liberty. War is not to he desired for the sake of wa y , if its - influences are exalted and exalting, so at horrors often terrible, and its perils and its ships always great. Bat when the freedo . . rights of men or government are at stake, th becomes sacred, just and honorable. Even ani sive war has no terrors, so long as conquests with it liberty. • SANTA ANNA'S HACIENDA.—An army corn dent of the New York Courier and Enquirer the following description of Santa- Anna's residence: “Encerro was Santa Anna's faVorite hacienda, and in fact, be is the possessor of neatly all the land between Jalapa and Vera (ruz.
