VOL 42.
t “Hannah,” said. I, ‘‘you are a brave girl,
j and deserve the best husband in the land. If
;you desire it, I will communicate your story to
‘your friends at the hotel,”
U 'jr’l :l
“Thank thckindly,”replicdHannah; “Now
tell mo trankly, before wo return, does thee
love me any less for my misconduct?”
“I love you more than ever, Hannah.”
Iconfess that I was a good deal mortified to
find that the youth in whom I had taken such
a deep interest, should turn out to be 4 coun
terflt, or rather,- that my discernment had
proved itself too obtruse to detect the disguise.
But Hannah’s inginuous confession made, me
' love her as a woman even more, than Hiked her
as a cavalier.
On our return to the house, wo met Mr.
Lindlcy, the intended of Hannah, on the piazza.
Leuving them together, Uiuslcnctl to the par-;
!lor, and towltllC-wondcrful hews.-' . i in
, Par Dku!. what a wohdprful sensation it
/in short, space of tim«j
every inmate of (he house was apprised of Clio
romantic Adventure of the yonng Quakeress.
“Let mo'pcnorrh'thumarnngo'cereiiiony m
stanter /” exclaimed .Squire Potter, our land
lord,* alsba justice of tho'pcacc in
commission. *
•‘Wait a'moment until Tchange my clothes,”
said Miss Penrose, who, with Mr. Lmdley,had
just* then entered the apartment.
‘ “Be quick, then, Hannah,” remarked Mr.
Lindlcy. .“The eastern train may be here in
five niimrtos, and may bring your uncle, who
’might thwart all our "hopes.”
“Well thought of!” said the squire. “But
what us* Is there in changing your dress, Miss
llajinnh? Be married just as yoii arc. You
conulnjt find p ’handsomer wedding dress
than,the one you have on if you were to search
the world from - ' Paris to Bagdad. What do
you say ladies ?"
‘ “Itwould bd so very odd V was the reply.
“What soy you, Mr. Lindiey?"
“I am quite willing,”, said he.
“And what db you sky. Misfc Hannah?"
‘‘lf nll nre nulling,” «he answered, “I will
wdir il with pleasure.”
“Proceed, then, with the ceremony, squire,”
said the groom.
. The young couple stood up together in the
soil hght.produccd by the buff holland window
curtains', that mellowed without intercepting
the rays of tho declining sun. Wc had never
keen lianuah look so'well.' Her eyes sparkled
likc.diamonds, and her novel wedding jewels—
the plrtm but rich.gUt Buttons of her coat and
.waistcQat-riwcre.so. effulgent that they almost
seemed to bc'in d blaze. The squire was right;
lurt.tvedding.suil was beautiful enough', -it was
more attractive and more becoming, perhaps,
than any other ’coSluine'she could have chosen.
The ceremony: vVab a ‘short one, for the civil
functionary, is generally $ man.of fow. words.- .
I The congratulations scarcely over
fore the eastern 1 train arrived; and! sure enough,
an elderly Qhaker'coiiple alighted! and lost no
time in idirecting -their steps towards the ho--
tel. . ; , ,i ‘ ) '» . ■ •. ;
“My undo and aunt!" exclaimed Hannah. ■
“Stand 3’6u'r ground, Hannah !" said the.
squire: I'don’t badge* a peg ! .they ‘ can’t mb',
lost: you now-” -J-i-;-:
“I don’t intend to fun," said she. - •
’ “Whopo is flannahi’cnjoso?" sternly asked
th’e old ‘gentleman;' as ho’-presentod, himself,at,
ihc'door, arm in ,nrtn with lus wjfo.
i -“Here!" promptly responded thobr/dc.bravc-,
ly advancing towards the interrogator. ,
1 “Art Mow HannahX’cnrose?" demanded the
uncle’,'regarding licr;with undisguised aston
ishment, ■ ’ V , ■ ,
“HannahPenrose once, but Hannah Lindiey
now.'”’
; “Then lliou art married!"
1 “T am.’*
.“How.long?",
“About live minutes, perhaps."
’. “‘A niiss isjust as good as a mile." Hannah,
sho\v-us thy husband.'*
- Mr., Lindly.'stopped up to Hannah’s side.
. ‘.‘Fne/itl,” said the old gentleman, “thon
hast found a good wife, and I hope thee will
provc’.Vhysclf worthy of her. We were oppos
ed to this, marriage, ’and hastened hither to
prcVent it; but let by-gonea bo by-goncs.—
Give me,thy hand friend."
“And’now, Hannah,” said the aunt, “give
me thy hand, and, let me wish thee and thine
“In all forgiven?” asked Hannah.
“All forgiven—-all forgotten," replied the un
cle. ,
Although jtlie old Quaker couple were evi
dently cliagriqd at their failure to prevent the
marrmgo, they rightly concluded, now that
the knot.was roiilly lied, to pontribati, all they
could to the happiness and prosperity of the
ydhng.tbunlc.'
“Aunt, said’Hannah, availing herself of a
pause in the general conversation, “I am quite
put out because tliee won’t say,a word about
irty wedding dress.*’
“Ilannrib,” 1 replied her aunt, ‘.‘thou art a
Sad'madcap to array thyselfin mah’s apparel."
“Well, I Suppose I am,” returned Hannah,
“but dont thee,think I make a very captivat
ing appearance attire?”
“It lliou wpft a man, Hannah, I might an
swer ihde Affirmatively."
“Well, never mind, dear aunt; I will make
the most of my guilt buttons to-day, and to
morrow 1 t will resume my female dress."
Hannah fulfilled her promise. We saw her
next nVoriilng, in a neat browli; travelling dress
entirely devoid of ornamept. Sue looked.very
pretty, though her feminine beauty was a good
deal inafred by Lho masculine cut of her hair.

THE NEWFOUNDLAND DOG'S VENGEANCE,
dt oLd gray.
Iwasalways.fond of dogs. Goldsmith in
his beautiful style, Snakes a touching and elo
quent plea for the dog, where in alluding to a
sort of mania for dog killing, which prevailed
at the time of which ho Speaks, in consequence
of an unreasonable apprehension of the spread
of hydroppobia.he says among other fine things
that the dog Is the only animal which will leave
his own kind voluntarily to follow man.
It is true, that the truth should bind man to
be the dog’s protector and fiicnd.
The American brig Cecilia, Captain Sym
mes, on'one of her voyages,had on board a
splendid specimen of the Newfoundland breed,
named N r apoleon ? .and his magnificent size and
proportion, liisl intelligent! bend J broad white
chest, whit.c feet and white tipped tail, .the rest
of his body 1 b’eln'g black', madil bimasbcaiiliful
ns Ins peerless namesake,:whb;>no doiibt'WOUld
have been proud to possess ing- ;• s -i
He was owned by n seaman,,qpmqd. Lancas
ter, who was naturally enough, extremely fond
of him. ‘ • . - - i. • • --i
Captain Pyrames,-however, was not 'partial .
to animals of any kind, and had an,unaccounta
ble and especial repugnance to dogs,.so .much
so indeed, naif all his ancestors had died of i
hydrophobia: and he dreaded to be bitten ‘like- ;
his - unfortunate predecessors: - . • M-n'l
This dislike ho one day. developed in a roost
shocking manner, for as bfid .
times entered his room and, by whgging hfs
jjrcat-banner of a tail, knocked paper an’u Ink
oil his desk, ori thc next occasion the captain
seized a kuifu, and cut,half the ,boor animal’s
tail off. ’ , i , .
The dog’syell broughtliis master to,the spot,
and socitig the calamity and iho author of it,
without a momentshesilation'he' felled Ckftt/--
Symmes to the cabin floor with a sledge- Imm'
mer blow, which, had it hit the .temple, l would
forever prevented the captain from cutting oQ,
any more dog’s tails. : ‘ n ’
The result was''that Lancaster, was, put. in
irons, from which} however, he t ‘w4d '
leased. Capt. Symmes pacify' repented^his
cruel deed, on learning that Nappltprt fobdonce '
saved the owner’s life. ‘ "V.'.JV ■ .-l-

. One morning as tho Capt,, was.jHtaml\ng:pn

the while sliflrks-in'thoso waters,, they regarded
his situation with thp njost painful,solicitude,
By the lime the boat touched the water their,
worst fears were realized..for at some distance,
beyond the - swimme**, they beheld’ advancing 1
upon him the fish most dreaded in tlioso wa

"Hurry.hurry! men, or <wc shall be too late,"
exclaimed the mate. *;\Vhat’s thatl” ,
The splash which caused thik inquiry ‘wds
occasioned by the plunge of' Napoleon into tho
sea, the noble animal having been, watchjngthe
cause of the'tumult from tho bowsoCthqyesse).
Ho had noticed the captain’s fall and tncshbuj:,
and for a few moments had vbntcd hra feelings
in deop.growls as if conscious ofthe peril of his
late enemy and gratified at it. , ; ,
Ilis growls, however, were soon changed into
those whines of spmpalhy which so often show
the attachment of dog to man. when the latter
in in danger. At last ho plunged in, and rap*
idly making his, way to the pow nearly ex
hausted captain , who aware of liis double dan
ger, and being but a passible swimmer, made
fainter and fainter strokes, while his adversary
closed rapidly upon him. '
.f'Pull, boys, for dear life !”. was tho shout Of
the male,'as the boat now followed the dog,
Whose huge limbs propelled' him gallantly' to
tho scene of danger. ■ ' "
Slowly 1 tho fatigued swimmer made his way, 1
while ever and nnoii his bend sankin tin;waves,'
ami behind him the back- of tjie voracious ani
mal told wliht fearful progress he was making,
while Lancaster, in tho bow of tho boat; stood’
with a knife in his up-rdised hand.hatching]
alternately, (ho. captain- and. Ids pursuer; and
tho faiteful animal who had saved his own life.
"Great God ! what a swimmer!,” exclaimed
tho men who marked tho Speed of 'the spTehdid'
animal. "Tho shark will Lavodnd op'both - if
we don’t do our best,”; ..i.’i !.
Tho scene was of short duration,. Krp (be
bodt could overtake the dog, Ihd ehonrious
shark had arrived within three oar’s length of
tho captain and suddenly turned over on his
back, preparatory ,tq darting op the .sinking
man, and receiving him .In his'va'si jawk. Which
now displayed their rows of lon£ ; lriahgultir

Sflm Slick qn Kissing.
Squire, you'are older I be, anti t sup
pose you will think all ‘this sort df thing‘is
clcarj sheer nonsenfco, hot depend uporiit a kisa
is a great mystery. There is many a thing we
uiat; we .can’t explain still vro arc sure it
is h fact for nil that. Why. should there be a
sbrt of magic in shakhig lianda, which seems
only n more form, and smnctlmtft a painful one
too, fol* some folks wring your lingers almost
oil and make you fairly dance with pain, they
hurt you so., It don’t give much pleasure at
any time. What the magic if it Is. we can't
tell, but so it is for all that. It seems only a'
custom, like showing and-nothing else, still
there is more ip it than meets the eye. But a
kiss fairly electrifies you. ILwarms yonr blood
j and sets your-hcart a boatin' like a base drum,
j and makes.your eyes.twinkle like stars in a
1 frosty night. It loin’t a thing ever to be for-
I .V 0 language can express it, no letters
, will give the sound. Then what in nature is
j equal to the flavor of it 1 What an aroma it
| has 1 How spiritual it is. It ain’t gross, for
you can’t feed on it, don’t cloy, for the palate
am t required to test its laslo. It is neither
( visible, nor tangible, nor portable, nor trasfer
| able. It is not a substance, nor a liquid, nor a
| vapor. It has neither color nor form. Tmagi
| nation can’t conceive It. It can’t bo imitated
tor forged. It is confined to no clime or conn*
i try, blit is übliquitous. ft is drsembodud when
'Completed, Uut is instantly reproduced and so
is immortal. ✓
It is ns old as creation and yet is an young
and as fresh ns ever. It preexisted still exists
and always will exist.
It pervades all nature. The breeze as it
passes kisses the. rose, and the pendant vino
stoops,down Us tendrils its
'blushes, as it kisses "TTic limpid stream that
\ waits In an eddy to meet it and raises its liny
waves, like apxious lips to meet it. Eve learn*
cd it in Paradise and was taught iis beauties,
virtues and varieties by an angel, there is some
thing so transcendent in it.
How it Is adapted to all circumstances?—
There is the kiss of welcome and of parting the
long, lingering loving, present—the stolen or
the mutual one, the kiss of joy. and of sorrow,
the seal of promise, and the receipt of fulfill
ment. Ts it Htrangc’thereforo that a woman is
invincible whose armory consists of kisses,
smiles, sighs, and tears ? Ts it any wonder
that poor old Adam was first tempted and then
ruined ? It is very easy for preachers to gel
upjwith long faces, and tell us he ought lohavc
been more of a man. My opinion is. if lie had
been less of a man, it would have -been bettor
for him. * * • * * But,
Squire, I shall always maintain Jo my dying
day, that kissing is a sublime mystery.

is the followivg paragioph ; • For my own
part, I say it in all solemnity I have lived
long enough to become truly and sincerely sus
picious of the piety of those who do not love
pleasure in any form. I cannot trust the man
who uever laughs: that is always sedate; that
has no apparent outlet for those nalurulsgrings
of sportivencss and gaily that are perennial ip
.the human soul. 1 know that nature takes
her revenge on silch violence. I expect to find
secret vices, malignant sins, or horrid crimes,
springing up in this hot bed of confined air
and imprisoned space: and therefore, it gives
me a sincere moral gratification mi) where, and
in any community, to sec innocent pleasures
and popular amusements resisting the religious
bigotry that frowns upon them. Anything is
hotter than that dark., dfnd. unlmppy social
life—a pray to ennui and morbid excitement
which results front unmitigated puritonism.
