The Millionaire’s Daughter.
One fine morning in the summer, of 1833, &
handsome but poorly dressed boy, called at the
door of a rich mansion in L—-- —c square, in
New York city, offered some boskets of straw
berries for sale. .Having disposed of the fruit,
ho was about to depart, when his attention was
or res ted by the appearance of a beautiful girl
some twelve years old, who crossed the hall
\ near the door/ She was the daughter of the
• \gentlemon of th&house. The kind look which
■' she bestowed on-hfm struck a chord in his
l heart, which until that moment bad never
r'brated. ,
‘She is very lovely!’ ho exclaimed mentally,
. <‘*bnt she is the daughter of a millionaire—sue
/ conbe nothing to me.’ ’

'Would I could m&kcmystlf worthy of,

A week bod passed, and the little boy again
J- . stood with palpitating heart at the rich man’s
< door* His fruit was purchased as before, and
ho received his money from (he white hand of
•' j the fair one, whom from the moment he first
"■\y' saw her'ho had dared to lor&, She spokekiud
if |y to him and badtfium call again.
J Uo-did not forgetdhe order, He called again,
bat the season woaf'advancing, and the fruit
had become a scarcity.
„ ‘I shall not be able to bring you any more.*
be said one morning, ‘l am sorry, for it was
» pleasure for me to call here, but we may meet
hereafter.’
The young heart that fluttered in the bosom
of that young girl was touched at the musical.'
though somewhat melancholy tone in which
(his was ottered, and sho timidly replied that
ahe would remember him- ~ '
*Wo shall meet again, Miss, when I promise
you, you shall not be ashamed to acknowledge
the acquaintance of the poor strawberry boy.*
Sho thought the language singular, but they
parted.
Three years Elapsed; The tide of speculation
.which was then swelling in our country, had
not reached the flood, and the rich man with
his beautiful daughter rolled in bis elegant car
riage on their way to Trinity Church. Char
lotte was just sweet sixteen, and. the bud yes'
Just changing to the open,rose. Sho was fair,
indeed.
The service had ended—the magnificent car
risgo stood at .the church door;. Ino elegant cat

Another year had fled. Misfortunes had fol

•The rich man that was, fa vain appealed to
his sunshine friends for aid. They must have
security—-the times were hard—they bad lost a
good deal of money—people sometimes would
live too fast —it was’nt their fault—very sorry
but could’nt help him. .
From bad to worse ho succeeded, and now
reduced to tlie last extremity, he bad retired-to
his beautiful retreat, with tbe hope that the rig
id economy and fresh application to jus mer
cantile affairs would retrieve his i*pi£fy sink
ing fortune. But his star was descending, and
bis mote lucky brelhern forgot that he had been
of them. JEJnfortunately f jhe had no security to
offer, and tho collage was sold.
It was alright day inpntnmn—the purchas
ers were few: there was little competition; and
the csfate passed into other hands., The pur
chaser gave notice that ho should take posses

And what’s to become of the lovely child ?
The millionaire’s last home had been taken from
him. and that, fair girl was motherless. Tho
heart of the fond father toisgavo him when ho
received information that the premises must be
immediately vacated. .
i; He had been a proud man, but his pride was
now humbled, ond dalmlyhe resigned, himself
to this last stroke of affliction. He too, wept—
it was a fearful sight to see that strong man
weep. .. ■ •
But his troubles were nearly at an end. The
day following that .upon which tho sale occur
red had well nigh past. Tho .afternoon was
bright and balmy„and the father sat with his
daughter in the-rccesscs of one of the cottage
windows, wljich lookedout upon tbehigh rood,

cottage, informing him that he should call upon
him in the afternoon, fortho purpose of exam

*Oh, father 1* shouted, Charlotte, forgetting
for a moment her. sorrows. ‘look, there is thy
darling JeSsie.’ and a knock at tho door called
her to her recollection.
The door was opened by the once owner of
the mansion in L »• -o. square. Before him
stood a curious looking y oung man, whomquir

THE EMPRESS OF RUSSIA.
In the little town of Marienburg lived a Lu
theran Minister, Skovronski, who was remarka
ble for bis piety, benevolence, and unwearied
cflortsin doinggood. . On returning to his hum
ble dwelling one evening, -his attention was at
tracted by the cries of a child. His horse
showed an.unwillingness to proceed; he dis
mounted, and on a short distance in the snow
he discovered the object of distress. There lay
a half frozen child. Wrapping it ia his cloak,
he remounted his horse, and in a short time was
at the parsonage.
The child was a beautiful little girl, not a year
old. It was ht once adopted by tba pastor, and
{ilaccd in the care of bis faithful servant, an old
ady who had long Resided in the family. She
was named Catharine, from the circumstance
that she was found on St. Catharine’s day, the
twenty-fifth of November. Shown? nursed with
great core and tenderness, and treated by the
fondly as an only child. Her beauty, docility
and sweet temper, attracted the attention of all
who saw her. A more lovely creature could
hardly bo imagined. -
As she grew up, she interested herself in tho
management of the household affairs, and was
always ready to assist as occasion required.—
Tho venerable Skovronski was growing old, Un
der the excessive labors for the good of his flock,
and his naturally robust constitution was evi
dently giving way. This deeply affected Catha
rine. for she loved the good old man as her beat
earthly friend. Sho respected bira as a parent,
but she could never forget that it was he who
saved her life. When ho became ill. she would
do all fotium in.;hcr power, rind often cheered
h\a lonly hours by singing some beautiful hyms.
She would often say, father, what
can Tdo for you ? Can I not'render you some
assistance 1 Can Ido too much for one who
saved my life V*
On the 12th of’A»gtist» J l7O2 1 Marienburg
many bfewW"
habitants slain. It was a sad day. -Many
heart-rending scenes were witnessed. Catharine
at this time was ycars';Of ago, and at (he
time of the battle was visiting’i’ sisCor of Skov
ronski, a few miles distant, oho beard the c*n
imn,-but.did.:mt understand (because. This
part of the'story innst be described by another.
Though a slight thread of fiction may be seen.
,in the description, it will give a Ufa like air to
the facts presented.
A horse suddenly stopped at the door of tlio
cottage, and a young man hastily dismounted.
‘The Russians are at Marienburg!’ exclaimed
he. rushing into (he department. A 1 have es
caped with difficulty to bring this letter from
your brother, (addressing the pastor’s sister,)
who bos given his horse for my use.’* . •
*Do tell mo what has occurred at Marten
burg,* said Catharine.
‘Why, do you not hear tho cannon ? Gene
ral Sohcrctnctief, with tho oimy, is bombard
ing Marienburg. Oh, it is a cruel sight to bo
hold !*
*My father, my benefactor I* cried Catharine
sobbing. . .
Such was her anxiety to sea her best earthly
friend, that she immediately started for Maritn
burg; but on reaching the town sho was met
by ono of the guard, with, ‘Where arc you go
ing V ‘ , '
*W|iat is that to yotf ?* replied tho young
girl. Tam in haste.and pray you let mo pass.'
*Yon of course are not aware, then, that the
town is in tho hands of the Hussions,’ said the
man.
.‘Well, what then I* interrupted tyrihnrino.
‘That all tho inhabitants arc prisoners, and
if you persuo your route,you will bo taken pris
oner yourself.*
‘Thank you for your advice: but my father
and benefactor is in town, and I am determined
to share Wa fate, whatever it may be.*
‘Go, then, and God preserve you !’ answered
tho man.*
Rho had not proceeded far before an officer
demanded her name.
‘Catharine,’she quickly replied; ‘lam the
adopted child of pastor SKovronuki,*
•Thou art a Livonian,’ replied .the officer. —
‘Livonian belongs now to our Czar, Peter I. ol
Russia; you ore, therefore, a prisoner. 1
- ‘Touch mo not,* said Catharine, her boauli
ffil dark eyes flashing. ‘I returned to Maricn
burg to find my adopted father. Conduct me,
then, to him—in his house—in a dungeon—no
matter that I may find him.’
As tho officer did not seem disposed to-com
ply with her request, she Inquired, ‘Who is
your General ?’ ,
•Gen. SchdrcmcUcf,* was the reply.
• ‘I wish, then, to speak, to your General.'
In a few moments, as the Cossack’s officer
was i nquiring where the General could be found,
on.pjd woman, perceiving her, uttered a cry of
dcajpttir. ‘Ob,my dear child, you will seoybur
protector no moro!' Ho died on battle field by
a Russian bullet, white in the act of binding up
the'wounds ofa poor soldier. ■ He Is dead—my
poor master !* This old lady was tho servant
ofSkovronakl. ,
' Catharine turned pale at this sad intelligence,
and Inquired, ‘Hare you then left him there
without help V
'Tho officer bode her follow him, and soon in
troduced her into the General’s tent. She threw
herself at Schcremcticrs feet, and with uplifted
bands, exclaimed, ‘A grace. General! for pity’s
sake a grace!’ .. »■s**'
■ ‘What does the child want V inquired the
General of tho officer. ■
‘Sho wishes to speak to you.’
. ‘lt is truo.’ replied Catharine. ‘I haveloarn
cd that my father and protector is among the
dead; ' pear pastor Skovronski. Tho favor I
ask to bo allowed to seek for his body, that
it may bo. properly buried.’ '
The tone of hervolce'Vas so peculiar, and
her countenance bo commanding, yet so ingonU
ous, that the General wa* moved at tho sight
of her youtn and courage, and said. 'Tho camp
is situated trfUgldo the walla; if I grant your

ted than the rest; ‘This is the lent of tho
Czar,’ said bet 'remain where, you '.are. It is
right that I should ask his permission to marry
you.*
Catharinohad wai ttd hut a few minutes,when
a young officer advanced,and said,/Tho Cur
Wishes to see you.’ ' !
On entering the lent, she saw a large number
of office vs, ip the cchtreof whom, she immedi
ately recognized (lie young soldier, her compan
ion. ‘Where is tho.Ctar ?’ inquired Catharine
.of the officer. : ■ -
‘There!’ said he, pointing to tho soldier who
was seated. .
‘There ? That is ray husband R;V
41013 thy husband and the Czar, likewise,
Catharine.'* said the Emperor of Russia.- ‘How
astonished you appear ! Docs the news grim
you ? Does my title prevent you from loving
me?’ -
‘I loved you as ft soldier,’said sho, ‘twill;
always Ipvo'.you as an Emperor.’ The Crar
arose, arid taking the hand nf the young orph
an, presented her to hia officers as the future
Epmrces'of Russia.
Jfcro closes the thread of fiction in our story.
After their marriage, the Emperor placed her m
a private dwelling in the city of Moscow, whore
she received crery attention becoming her posi
tion. Sho loved to do good, and to', make oth
.ere happy around her. She was intelligent,
cheerful, amiable and benevolent.
No doubt Peter the Great saw that - she,was
precisely the woman who could share his en
thusiasm and sympathise in hia plans. Tho
obscurity of her birth was no obstacle to him;
ho had absolute power to raise her to tho loft
iest condition in his empire.
Though surrounded with tho honors of royal
ty, she did not forget tho pastor of Mnrlcnbnrg.
£>he loved him still, and did what sho could to
cheer his last lie never recovered from

Short of a WaUh.
Mr. Jacob Short, on his way homo from a
lecture, in which he had been much interested,
fell in with a well dressed gentleman who ad
dressed a casual inquiry to . him. From this
inquiry proceeded on animated conversation, in
which Mr. Snort became so much interested
that ho parted from his new acquaintance with
regret. '^ v
A moment afterwards,*being desirous of
learning tie time, ho felt for his watch. To
his consternation ho found it was gone. Ho ot
once bethought himself of the common practice
of adroit pickpockets to put on the guisoof gen
tlemen. in order to facilitate their operations.—
Of course his suspicion instantly rested upon
hia latoasqnftinlance. Luckily he was In sight.
lie ran after h ; m with a hasty step, and suc
ceeded in overtaking him.
‘Surrender that watch!’ said he in a deter
mined tone, ‘or tho consequence be upon your
own head.’
The gentleman, or pickpocket, turned pale,
and looked for a moment as if ho were inclined
to resistance, but tho resolute tone and bearing
of Mr. Short Intimidated him, and ha yielded
to tho requisition. ‘
Mr. Short went home congratulating himsdf
on the courage ho had displayed.
Ho related the adventuro to hia wife, who in.
stead of praising him, a& ho anticipated she
would, exclaimed: ‘ .
‘Why, Jacob, what bavo you done! Your ;
own watch is lying on the table, where you left ,
U before going to the lecture. That I should ,
live to sco my dear husband ft piokpooket.* (
Jacob sat down in trepidation. It was all
true. , He had actually committed at highway
robbery, when,'aft ho imagined, ho woa only
recovering his stolen property.
Ho slept but little that night. Visions of
Imnd-culra and, prison bare floated before his
troubled mind, and ho rose from a sleepless bed
the next morning to read thcfoUowingaatftUQcei
mentln tho morning papers: .
• "Outiuoh.—We learn that tho Bov. Mr. 0.,

TMs not calculated to calm the Netted
nerves of Mr. Short. . He hardly knew liow to
extricate himself from his embarrassing posi
tion. Ho at length bethought himself to send
bis wife with the watch to thd Rer. Uf/0.,
with a plain statement of the mistake which
bad occurred, and with a request that he woftld
cause the matter to bo dropped immediately.
The negotiation proved successful, and Snort
was relieved from hia -terror, • It.ncednotbd
said that Mr. Short bos not attempted highway
robbery since tins memorable ocoosion, having
come to tho deliberate conclusion that “the way
of tholransgrtsgoris hard.”;

No!—-Thatis fc rpiy short word. It bos a
very short meaning sometimes.- It often blasts
fond anticipations; It may change the whole
tenor of a life. In rnatrimonlat matters it would
be better that if should be qftener said than It
is, for many of thatsex sometimes say no when
they mean ycs,and'Bhould use (ho shorter word
