"Caroline, 1 wo,lt on would remain a moment." avid
:NW Warren, as Ills daughter was about to leave the pat.-
"Wall, papa, what is it?"
She strove to look uncon,cious, but her varying color

cret agitation; in Net, blio :At:peeled thu purposes of her

thought," said Mr. Warren, "that when l forbade
young,.Coilins my house, you were prepared to tdrbmit to
the prudence of my decision. We talked the matter
over, Caroline, if you remember, and I woe at conhitl( r-
able pains to convince you that ho was idle. wasteful, and
I feared, ifi, , ipated—in short a very unfit person foratiy
woman to trust her harplllC.s3 With. You silently ngreed
to what I snid—at least on said nothing in reply.
fancied I hod perenaded you, for I, thought ...our own
good sense, to which I appended, %%mild see tho matter
in a light'ainular to that in which your mother and my-
sell beheld it. Judge (lieu of tut' inevpressible pain when
1 saw you walking arm-in-arm With him in the out-skirts
of the city, to-day."
Ha paused, and Caroline Along down her head abash
ed.' "I was not mistaken," sJici said, to hetself, "il was
pa whom I saw."
Mr. Warren waited for more than a minute for her
reply, but as she continued silent, Iftkwent on.
"Now, Caroline," Said lie, "1 wish you to look on me
as what I am—the best.iriend you have in the world,
and ono who has no motive, much less any wish to ad
vise you wrong. It is a mistake of people, 'especially of
those of her sex, lo suppose that parents wish to tyranize
over them in the atftii• of marriage. .Relieve me, noth
ing is generally further from a parent's thought. it is
not unfreauent, indeed', that a father ditTers from a dough-
ter as to the wisdom of lier uniting herself with a 'certain
"suitor, ISM in such casts, (ho father is, nine times out
of ton, rikht, and the child rong. The parent, from his
knowledge of men—from what he hears in the street, and
other sources, usually arrives at a juster - conclusion re
specting a young man's character; than a daughter, who
has little or no means of ascertaining the truth. In the
case of this young Collins, I know him,to be extravagant,
occasionally intemperate in his habits, and head
over oars in debt. Resides this, ho has a violant temper.
I bosoeclf you, Caroline, do not give way further to this
infatuation of yours."
As Mr. Watren spoke, ho approached his daughter - 1
and took her bend. She burst into tears, looked up in his
faco, and said—"Oh, but, papa, I love him, and ho loves
me ho says ho will throw himself away, if Ido not
marry him. Surely, surely, if I can, I ought to reform
him."
Mr. Warren shook his head. "C/roline," ho said,
severely, "this is sheer folly, miserable infatuation! No'
woman ever reformed a man whose principles wore so
loose as those of Collins, a wretch, Who in his own words
will threw himself away if you do not marry him, Lis
ton to my words, child, for you aro weaker than I tho't,
and I must rule whero I would prefer to persuade; if
you ever marry Collins, trout that hour this house is!
closed against you."
Tho tears of Caroline flowed faster. Mr. Warren,
after a turn a two across the room, softened again, and
addressed her in kinder tones
-"My child," he said, "I speak thus for your own good;
J know, if you marry Collins, that you will regret it; and
1 would by interdicting it, spare you much future „sor
row. I will not urge you to unite with any man you do
not fancy, however excellent I may think him to be.—
This I promise you; and on your part, I shall expect you
to give up this acquriintance, To-morrow I will look for
your premise to this effect. Go now, end think of it; I
am sure you will obey me."
Ile stooped down a3id kissed her tenderly; and then
Caroline. still weeping, rushed from the room.
But was it to think, as her father desired, of her duty?
Alone, in her chamber, she recalled, at alternate mo
ments, the words of her parent, and tho insideous per
suasions of her lover; and alas', the latter had most in.
ileioncet with her. - -
Caroline was n ot
. exactly a weak girl. but she had fallen.
into it bad set at school,' and from it many hurtful notions
an child's duty to its patents, especially in a Case of sup
posed affection. She hall read, not good novels. but vi
sionary romances; and these had strengthened her mista
ken ideas. Her present suitor was a handsome, design
ing libertine, who;knowing her father to be rich. desired
SATURDAV
to possess the daughter's hand; ns )•ith it went a large
finished fortune. The manners of Collins had easily
won her liking—for we cannot call it lave—and, imagi
ning herself to bo in a similar position tuber favorite lio
roines. she regarded the opposition of her father as op
pressive and unreasonable._
That very day her suitor had urged her to elopo tvith
him. and she had consented to do so. But her parents'
kind expostulations had now fur a time shook her pur
pose. Finally, however, the vanity of being the herono
of a runaway match. as well as her biased views respec
ting tho supposed injusthre of her father, induced her to
fulfil her promise; and at the doad of night sho loft her
home forevor:t
We soy left her home, for she lievor had another. Mr.
Warren proved true to his threat; and woe the more in!
flexible because Carolina hod eloped on the very night
ho had pleaded so .earnestly with her. •She left me
with my kiss still worm upon her cheek," he said; "she
preferred another, and a stranger, to me; she treated me,
not like her best friend, but like an enemy, end hence
forth she is banished from my heart."
Yes: s h e never agaitr bad a home. Iler husband took
her to a hotel, where they remained saveral week, hoping f
daily to receive a summons from her father, but as fionoi
came, they were forced at last to retire to a cheap boarding
house. Here, amid indiarent society, Caroline, who
had been tenderly nurtured, learned,soon to feel • acutely
the advantages of which sho had deprived herself, and
learned to long for her old home.
If her husband had really loved ti r, or ifsho could halie
continued to pursuade herself th,lt her fattier had been
unjust, she might have found so l me salvation in her al
tered fortune. But her husband, angry that her father
was inexorable, now began to punish Carols to for her,
father's firmness, by neglecting betTaild loft her, evening
after evening, to amuse hen.elf while he spent the hour]
at the WU:Ltd-table, in the theatre. or with some ga . l•
friends over a bottle or two of wino. It was now that
Caroline saw the correctness of the judgement which
her fother , had expressed respecting Collins. She not.
only learned that he was both idle an d a srea d thi i ft , but
discovered that he was intemperate, passionate •and un-
principled.
Often, when ho came home excited by w-ine, ho would
address her in t most Lt utul manner, charging their pre-'
sent poverty on her, or rather on her "niggardly father,"
as ho called Mr. Warren to her Tice. At lasti i ono night
he returned, in a state of violent excitement from. the
gaining table, where he had lost largely. and finding Ca
rolina weeping, struck her a blow in a fit of passion, that
tolled her to the floor, where she lay bleeding:-
And this was the end of her dream' of romance! Into
this slavery, into this deep degradatimi, had her vanit3 led
her. Ashamed to tell the truth, and Ii row herself on her
father for protection. sho endured for !limo than a year,
every variety of insult fro hi her husband; her health.
meanwhile, consuming away, and her spirits which had 1
once been so high. utteriy broken.
' 011,„how ofteir she repented her folly. How, wheit
she heard of others of her sex forming clandestine mar
riages, she would shudder and exclaim, ' , Alas: the
chances aro that they will be misorahlo - . as I am. Cait
they n o t see that the man who persuades them to diso
bey their parents, shows, in that very thing, n want of
principle that promises halo for their 'future happiness.
But the cup of misery was not Yet full. She had
been married a little over a year when her husband lefti
her to visit a neighboring city; and though site waited
his return long after the promised day, ho neve r came.
At last a letter from him was put into her hands, and
the inlesavo announced, in the most unfeeling terms,
that he had left her forever.
She sank into a swooon and lay far hours before she
recto,cred. When'she regained her COIISCIOIFIICSS, it
was to shudder at her condition, for she was penniless,
with board for many weeks due, Mid not a friend on
whom she could call tit light st loan s : Soddenly the
parable of the Prodigal Son came up to her memory
"I will arise and go to my father," she said, humbly,
in the words of that beautiful story; end, With the exela.

Medical stddeuts may bo proverbially •'hard cases,

more benevolent anti kimt-hearted, then these same hard
cases are. it truly be because they witness so much suf
fering and distress, and they become accustomed, as it
were, to scenes front which at first they turned away, un

A few years ago wo happened to be M tho company
of a number of stitt6titx, fret l tt olio of whom we hourd the
following story:
It was on a cold Christman morning, ih the year 18— ,
a medical student, who I will call Rush Ruddy
.usli Rudder, was pro ,
ceeding on his way to moot some follow students in the
beautiful little village of Richmond, where, forgetting
books and studies, they had intended to pond the anni
versary of tho'day, which brought peace and good will to
men. As he was passing through one of thoso narrow
streets in the noilhernpart of the city, ho mot a small
girl, weeping. as if her heart would break. The crowd
passed on without noticing her; but when the poor htudont
saw her, his heart was touched, and ho could not pass
without inquiring the cause or her grid.
"Oh sir," sho answered him, "it is not for myself 1
care, but mother is su sick, and she sons me to the tailor
tor whom she works, but he would not ply me."
"Whore does your mother Heel" he asked, after ho bad
listened to Her pi in story. Tho little girl led him into
n small house, where lay n sick woman laboring under
great debility, and rapidly sinking for want of proper nour
ishment. '
Ever and anon could be hoard tho laugh of passers by
clad in furs and well protected frorn the keen blasts of
Boroas, as they joined in tho merry-making of that festive
day—and the sick woman would siet_az their merry
laugh fell upon her ears. It may be, her mind reverted
to her happier days. Such thoughts will often steal upon
the distto.sod, however much they guard themselves
'
against, them.
.*1 will get you canto medicine, which 1 hope ‘?ill do
you good," ; said the student. “But,"—„ No matter
about that," said he, knowing full well what sho wan
about to say. "No matter, you can pay mo when you
get money enough to spare," and without waiting to hear
any objections on her part, ho wished her a God day,
promising to call soon again. So much time had elaps

The bustle of this light was over; the prisoners had been

At once 1 sprang from hammock. Little Dick was n

complained of his lot, though his companions imposed

bed of the boy.
The stringer did not lie in his hammock, as it was hefug ,
in the very midst of the crow, itnd tho close air around i t

rowfully down upon the sufferer. The surgeon knoll
with his finger on the boy's pulse. As I . approached,
they all looked up. The veteran whe'held him shook
his head, and would have spoken, but the tears gathered
too chokingly in his eyes.
The burgeon, said—
"lle is going fast—poor little fellowdo yoti see this?"
As ho spoke he lifted tip a rich gold locket winch had,
lain upon the boy's breast. "Ile has seen better days.'
I could not answer, my heart was full—hero was the
being to whom a few hours before I had owed my life—
a poor, slight, unprotected:child—lying before me, with
death already witten on his brow—and yet I had never
sought him out after the conflict. How bitterly my
heart reproached me at that hour. 'They noticed my

the horse is ono of the most beautiful parts about him,
and by few things is the temper rncro easily indicated
than h‘ , its motion. The ear is more intelligible oven
I -
than the eye; end a person accustomed to the horse can
tell, by the expressive motion of that organ, almost all he
thinks or means. When a horse lays his oars !tat back
on his neek,ho most assuredly is meditating mischief,and
the 1,1 , 4;111,1er should bo aware of his keels or his teeth.
In play the ears will be laid back, but not sa decidedly
or so long. A quick change in their position, and more
particularly in the expression of the eye at the time, will
distinguish between playfulness and vice. The hearing
of the horse is remarkably acute. A thousand vibrations
of the air, too slight to make any impression on the hu
man ear, are readily perceived by him. It is well known
to every hunting man, that the cry of hounds will bo
recognited by the horse, and his ears will be erect, and
to will be all spirits and impatience, a considerable limo

No one can be in Monterey n-single night without be
ing st in ed and awed be the deep, solemn crashes of the
surf as it breaks along the Shore. There is no continu
ous roar of the plunging waves, as wo hear on the At
lantic sraboard; the slow, regular swells—quiet pulsa
tions of the great Pacific's heart—roll inward in unbro
ken line's, and fall with single, grand crashes, with inter
vals of dead silence between. They May be heard throi

shallow noises of the town; but at midnight, whed all
else, is still, those successive shocks fall upon the ear
with a sensation' of inexpressible solemnity. All tho
fro l m the pine forests to the sea, is filled with a light trio - -
tier, and the intermitting beats of, sound are strong
enough to jar a delicilie car. Their constant repetition
at last produces a fMing something like terror. A spir

Sleeting Each Other Half Way—and—Going By
A medical student of Berlin lately fell deeply, in love
with the daughter of the ludy at whose house he lodged,'
his passion was warmly returned, and the lovers swore
eternal fidelity and entered into a promise to marry.
But there was nit insurmountable barrier to their union,
the fact of the lady being a Protestant Christian. and
the gentleman a Jew; and both professed themselves
no less attached to their faith than to each other. Busi
ness called the youth to Breslau; and when he had beep
there a few days, he' received a letter from his mistress
couched in the following terms:
..My Dear Friend—The difficulties which have so
long stood in the way of our marriage hare at length
been put to an end to, and by the iigerveatiao or your
good angel, as you have so often called your faithful
Minna, who yesterday became a Jewess."
Scarcely had this letter, been dispatched when its
writer reciered ono from tier lover, dated Breslau, and
to the following effect;
..111y Dear Minna—The obstacio which presentAl it,
self to our union, in rho unfortunate differences in our
religious faiths, no longer exists, and I shall hasten to
complete our mutual felicity. I yesterday became
