But Agatha, in spite of all yqu have said, I feel convinced that Charles Stanton is a noble fellow.' ‘ Very likely,’ said Agatha, lightly ; 'but here comes Fit* Aubyn, with those splendid horses of his, so give me my shawl.’ ‘ And whither ore your foosteps to be di rected to-day ?’ ‘Oil, we intend to go to that private view of pictures in- street, which I told you of.’ And Agatha swept out of the room with the i port of a queen.’ I The white lustre of moonlight, pouring down through the circular'dome of frosted glass, gave a life-like glow to the superb paintings whoso gilded frames literally cov ered the walls of the spacious apartments. Here and there, groups of absorbed dilettanti moved, with subdued whispers and brandish ed. opera glasses, as if it were-a forbidden; thing to speak above one’s breath in the presence of these fair landscapes and scenes from history’s pige,. •• Directly in front uf one of the finest works of art stood a pair who had unconsciously been the, object of many a curious glance and' whispered observation of the other sightseers: —a tall, stylish-looking young man with an; old lady deanihg on his arm, whose antique, dress of snuff-colored bombazine. and oddly shaped beaver bonnet occasioned a grea . many covert smiles, and half concealed tit : ters from those present “ Oh, by the way. Miss Milne,” said Fitz Aubyn, as in their progress round the rooms this couple gradually came in view, “ you have hot seen the . greatest curiosity of all yet.” ’ . ‘■Where,’ said Agatha, raising her opera glass. ‘ You are mistaken, it don’t hang on the, wall,’ said Fitz ■ Aubyn, laughing. ‘Look nearer earth, if you want to see Stanton and his fossil aunt.’. Agatha turned hor head accordingly, with-, out remark—she smiled a little, however ’twas nll Fitz Aubyn wanted. ‘ Should' you suppose any-mortal youth would have'the.courage to bring such a last oontqry specimen to a place like this, where he might know ho would meet fill his fashions ' ,ble acquaintances ! Upon my wofd. I believe ' he’ll take her to the opera next! See him carrying her morocco bag, and cotton umbrel la 1 Don’t he remind you o’f.Don Quixote in - his youthful days ?’ / ‘ Probably she has,money to‘leave one ol these days,’ said Agatha, the distrustful olu moot uppermost in her mind for the moment.; ‘ Not a .solitary rod cent, I know, fori have inquired.-' She is in reduced oii-outostancos’ —that’s the term, I believe—but Stanton is very fond of her, nevertheless. She ha , come up to town from the hack woods for a ' few days,'and— ’ - ' He paused abruptly as the very pair in question approached, still absorbo'l in picture gazing. *My dear Charles,’ said the old lady at length,;• you, cannot imagine what a. treat this,is to roe—l have hot, seen sod! •pictures aA these dime T was a child;' Haw -thoughtful of you to bring me here !’ ‘ I knew you would enjoy it, aunt!’ And you are not .ashamed of jour old fashiuned relative among fillthose’guy young people?’ ‘ On the contrary, dear aunt, lam as proud as a monarch while you are leaning on my •arm,!’ Agatha heard it all, and she also heard him answer, in reply to tho gay challenge of some companion: ’ . * Thank you, but don’t reckon upon me as one of yo.iif party'this evening at the opera. "I am going with my aunt, who is passionately fond of music, -so, you must excuse me for once.’-, - • . ‘ I told'yon so;!’ said ATitz Aubyn, in a. jsotio voice .-tone, shrugging his shoulders. ‘ Did, you 6vor see such a fellow as Stan topi I’ . ‘ Never,’ was Agatha’s reply, but' if was' so emphatically - spoken that, iFitz Aubyn started.- And’tunc night while cue unurle beauty brushed out her luxuriant hair, sh paused many a lime and fell into a thought-' ful revery. ‘ Moral courage!’ she murmured to herself. . ‘ I have somewhere ‘read that it is nobler far. than the . iron resolution which makes: men reckless in battle. ,1 wonder—’ And there she stopped-resolutely. What a glorious bracing New .Year’s Day, it was! There had been just snow enough in the night to form n white glistening coal over-everything, ao'-l aiV-m.l ;m excellent ex-; ouse for the merry sleighs that darted hither ■and thither with streaming furs and jingling hells. All the fashionable world was astir— the gentlemen busily consulting their interim-" liable lists of calls, and the ladies putting the last touches to their gorgeous toilets.,. There were not many upon that day who received more adulation than Agatha Milne,, as she stood' like a yohng empress in her aplondid'dra.ving rooms, every mirror flash ing back her loveliness., Oer dress was very simple—pink silk, edged around the should ers with shrtwy'ermine, and long sprays of jessamine drooping from her hair; yet she. knew that she had never been so beautiful as’ now, as she listened with languid smiles to' the compliments showered upon her. .It was nothing hqw. C, The gilded chandeliers had been‘lighted, and the jeweled fingers of the tiny alabaster clock on the mantle pointed to a-late.hour, when the peal of the door-bell .announced a' new incursion of guests,.and Mr. Fitz Aubyn entered, surrounded by a gay party of young men,. ‘ Good evening, Miss Milne 1 surely I am hot too‘ late to wish you the happiest of all imaginable New Years. Whom do you sup pose I saw steering in the direction of your hospitable mansion just now? Here he comes to speak for himself—the Chevalier Stanton ’ I Agatha turned calmly to welcome the new! comer, and the keenest eye could scarcely discern the deeper shade of color that glowed pn her delicate cheek, as he quietly came up to greet her. 1 ‘Fill your glasses, gentlemen,’ exclaimed Fitz Aubyn, holding high above his head a tiny chalice of engraven _ Bohemian glass, brimming with crimson wine, ‘ let us drink to the health of opr fair hostess, Mies Agatha Milne.’ . ’ The imoromptu toast was received with ac clamations of satisfaction, and Fitz Aubyn glanced around to see if all bad followed his lips to the glass. ‘ Come, Stanton, no lack of chivalry here; whore’s your glass.?’ ‘ I will drink Miss Milne’s health in clear iced water withjtho greatest pleasure,’ said Stanton, smiling ; • hut I never touch‘wine.’ ‘ Never touch wine 1 and pray why not?’ ‘ It is against my principles;’ said Stanton with quiet firmness. Fitz Aubyn curled his lip in contemptuous silence, that was several degrees harder to bear, than spoken obliquy, but another young man lubm toward to iaterpef* hi* word. (‘OUR COUNTRY, —MAY SHE ALWAYS "bE RIGHT—BUT RIGHT, OB WRONG OUR COUNTRY” ' ‘ Offer the wine to him yourself, .Miss Milne ; surely he eanuot bo so lost to all sense of gallantry as to"refuse it from your fair hand 1’ Agatha had grown .very .pale, but without speaking, she tilled one of the goblets, and held it towards Stanton. ' ' - Will you take it from mo ?’ Stanton looked at her with oalip gravity, as he replied. Miss Milne, I should be a coward indeed, did I allow your persuasions to sway me from the fixed principles which are the guiding star of my life.’ “ He bowed and withdrew. The glass fell from Agatha’s hand shivered,into a thousand sparkling fragments ; she bit her scarlet lip until the blood started, with a strange sympa thetic thrill of exultatiop. Had he wavered, for an instant in his determination, she would have despised him. ‘A very poor investment those horses of mine, add .all this behavior a la good boy in, story books,’ muttered Fitz Aubyno, about! four weeks subsequently, os ho, strode into the brillantly illuminated -.salons of the Club House. ‘ Waiter, a glass of brandy and wa-: ter quick 1’ - ; ‘What’s the matter Fitz ? you look as black as a thunder cloud,'’ observed a bystan der, who was leaning against a marble, pillar, and picking his teeth in a most, epicurean manner. ‘ The matter ?

Meanwhile, little.

But upon Mary, my heroine, came tho whole, responsibility of oaring and providing for the’ rest; for her father, too far lost to have tho manliness to exert himself for their support, continued in his degraded course. Thus, the ‘little girl became a demure house keeper.

The history of tho King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpa tions, all having in direct object the'catab-- lishmont ot an absolute tyranny over these States. Ho has affected to render tho military in dependent of and superior to the civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution,' and unacknowledged by our laws. For depriving us, in many eases, of the benefits of trial by jury. For transporting us beyond tho seas to be tried for pretended offences. These reasons were held then to bo sound and sufficient, and to this day 'the whole civ ilized world holds the same opinion of them. Tho dievolution over and independence achieved, tho fathers of tho republic mot in convention to frame a Constitution for thof safe and. bettor government of tho .'States 1 which, at a great expenditure of blood, and; treasure, they rescued from British thral dom; and to,save their descondents, from out rages and aggressions similar to those prac ticed upon themselves, by the King of Great Britain, they did as they supposed, so dis tinctly define and limit, the extent of power; entrusted to each department of the national ; government, so clearly indicate the reserved rights of the individual States, and so secure ly hedge around with safeguards the rights and personal liberty of the citizen, that there could be no danger of enoroaohments by the .central government, and consequently no cause for dissatisfaction on the . part of the States or insurrection or, revolution bn the' part of the people. How far their expecta-. tions have been realized history will declare. As far as human foresight, profound wisdom, largo experience, arid an humble trust in Divine Providence could enable them to.make a perfect Constitution, they succeeded. To the President, by virtue of the civil functions of the office, and as a Commander-, in-Chief of the ariny and navy, is committed' the faithful execution of the laws; by and. yzit(i .-the advice and consent of the Senate he may perform certain acts, and for, tho faith ful performance of the duties .cup lined, to. him, ho takes a solemn oath., CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED ■ STATES.

Casting his eyes around, at the same time discovering some fresh rabbit tracks, ho gave the‘bridle.a jerk, The docile animal lay down., - - “There arc somo rabbits here,” said the rider. "I know by-liis ears.” The Kentuckian, curious to test-tho-rept ted sagacity of the horse, searched around, andj sure enough, -started three or four rab bits. Ho was greatly surprised, but the Yan kee took the .affair of course. Tomake along story short the wonderful' horse changed hands on the spot, three hundred dollars be ing the consideration. Ilis now owner moun ted him, and with characteristic hospitality, the Yankee agreed to accompany him home. They soon came to a stream which they had to cross, and which was rather deep for horso mon.
