Nearly a year ago oue of the first werchants iu the city met and loved a woman of English birth, whom he be- Roved b be a widow. His advances were favorably received, and after many happy hours passed iu pleasant converse, the gentleman at length declared his pas sion. To his surprise and chagrin, the lady, with many tears, informed him that. her husband was not dead. A long story of unkindness, neglect, maltreatment, and .a separate main te Wan NI, was _redatetL., The fair one, with the utmost frankness, went into all the cletai.s of her wretched existence, and ended by hoping a divorce suit, then pending, would tertuinate in her favor. The gentleman, encouraged by the confidence, and eager for the pos- ' session of such a treasure, insisted on her at once departing tor England, and buuu tilally supplied the lubricating material fur the rusty machinery of the courts. '1 he jour ,my wa•; made, au t in the cuur e of a few weeks the na.;atelle of $12,000 expended. Not many moons elapsed ere the lover was favored with a must tender epistle, conveying, in the postscript, in telligence of another draft for $lO,OOO, which he would of course pay on pres entation. The business of the law proved exceedingly expensive. TWJ more drafts for $lO,OOO each were forwarded to this country, and promptly paid. The gen tleman, becoming alarmed at the enor mous drain on his purse, ventured to remonstrate, and begged the lady, if pos i sible, to conduct the busiu as with tuure economy. The communication in reply, dated at Paris, quietly inftemed him that the suit bar] been decided against her, that she was tied forever to the object of detestation ; and that although she could never forget the disiutetested friendship iof the kindest of men, they must never iaLrnin meet on earth. The unhappy gen tleman, maddened by his own folly, and crippled in business by the immense out l' lay of money, ended his existence by his !own hand. Long after this tragedy the real creator of it presumes again to ad- I dress the man she wronged.---a Veto 1 Orleans Times. 4Th (.7 'as 14 ets 37 GY , .53 17 VIS. BEM No one feels the death of a child as mother reels it. Even the father cannot realize it thus. There is a vacancy in his home, and a heaviness in his heart; there is a chain of association that comes round with its broken link ; there are I memories of endearment, a keen sense of loss, a weeping over crushed hopes, and pain of wounded affection. But the mother feels that one has been taken l away who was still closer to her heart. Hers has been the office of constant ministration. Every gradation or feature has developed before her eyes. She has detected every new gleam of intelligence. She has been the refuge of his fears, the supplies of his wants. And when he dies, a portion of her own life, as it were. dies. How can she give it up, with all the memories of these associations? CAPT. ISAAC VIGUERS, who took out twenty•eight Mississippians to Pernam buco, Brazil, has arrived at New Orleans.

BY EVA ALICE. The summer is passing, _ Its end draweth nigh, We part with its roses, But part with a sigh ; E're long w ill the cold winds Sweep valley and hill; But in thoughts ever sweetest, We'll think of thee still. The songster's sweet warble, Will cease to be heard, They'll fly to the South-land— Each beautiful bird ; O'er garden and latest, The changes will come, The green leaves will wither And fall, one by one. But still we'll remember The beautiful past, Thank God for the sunshine So brilliantly cast; With joy, in the future Past pleasures survey Bright rays still will linger, To gladden our way. Farewell, fairest season ! sweet summer, farewell! Farewell, ye sweet blossoms, In woodland and dell ! Adieu, ye bright -I eadows And streiunlets so blue, Old haunts by the hill-side— We bid you adieu! Fair birds of the garden And forest. farewell ! "We've drank deep thy music, Its magical spell; Now fly thee with summer, In other lands sing, But come at the waking Or beatrtiful spring. FarE.well now - ,ye bright skies of roseate hue! E'arewell fairy landscapes, We bid you adieu! Sweet pleasures of Summer, Joys loved but too well— Su miner ! sweet summer!— We bid thee farewell ! gliscett a itcoit. 4 Romantic and Tragic Story. CWHOLE NUMBER 1,941 Sudden Surprises Often Prove Fatal. There are many persons who are fond of contriving surprises—pleasant sur prises for their friends; and in nine cases out of ten such little stratagems are harmless. But there are circumstances in which any tampering will that deli cate instrument,the human heart:becomes a. tragic experiment. Here is a case in point : A young man of Marseilles had been brought up in the family of a merchant, and, of course,fell in love with his only daughter. It became necessary to send him to Cal cutta on business; but the pain of part ing was softened by a promise that his marriage should take place on his return. In a few weeks, however,news came that the steamship in which he had embarked had been wrecked, and that every soul had perished. The grief of his destined bride was agonizing. After a time, however,she became calmer; but insisted on entering a convent, with the intention of taking the vail at the end of a year. But a few months of her novitiate had passed, when she announced her inten tion of leaving the .convent, in conse quence of repeated dreams which showed her ,hat her lover was alive and well, and. asked for her hand. In spite of the re monstrances of the superior and sister . - hood, the girl went borne, where she was received with open arms by her parents. But there was a mysterious expression in their joy, the weaning of which she could not fathom. They took her by the band and led her into the sitting room ; on the threshold stood her lover, who received her into his arms and covered her with kisses. When he re leased her from his embrace, she tottered, stretched out her hands toward her parents. and sank upon the floor a corpse. The joyful surprise had killed her. Slander. There is no man who holds a more despicable position in the community than the common slanderer, and yet there is none who receives less punishment from an indignant people. Ile seems to enjoy a kind of immunity in his conduct, uud'clairiisve;:righ t:to-play-the scoundrel. Occasionally, a jury can be euipannelled which imposes vindictive damages in rare cases, but the majority of these rascals either escape entirely un whipped of justice, or have mere nomi nal damages imposed upon them with costs, And yet the crime of which they are guilty., properly considered, is one of the highest known to the law. There is no offence more destructive of the best interests of society. It poisons, to a greater or less extent, every fountain of public health and prosperity. It assails every doss in the community; youth with its warm blushes and buoyant heart; manhood with its high impulses and bounding energies, and old age with its wrinkled brow and palsied hands. None are exempt from its malicious and vin dictive attacks. It enters the bowers of beauty, and plucks the roses from its cheek. It looks in upon the door of in. nocence, and the flowers which grow upon its threshold wither and die at its approach. It is a sin, abhorrent to man and condemned of heaven. It stands ar rayed against the eternal canon of the Almighty, delivered amid the flames and thunders of Mt. Sinai, "thou shalt not bear ft-I:te witness against thy neighbor." God protect the pure and the virtuous from the advances of this insiduous fiend. It is sufficient that his poison should be wasted among the low and the profligate. Stick to your Business. One great plinciple for success in business, is learning a trade well and sticking to it. It requires a long time to know everything connected with suc cessful business. An acquaintance, a. seed dealer, stated that the first five years he could not ascertain that be made any thing; but he was learning. Before ten years be was clearing five thousand dol lars a year. Another was doing well in man ufficturing ropes ; but he was un stable in his mind, and although his friends advised him to " hang to the ropes"he was not getting rich fast enough, but he meddled with business he had not learned sufficiently, bought a mill, bought grain, and then broke a bank by his large failure. Some farmers come to the conclusion that cows are most profit able; they purchase animals, erect build ings, and begin well. But being a new business, they do not succeed as they ex pected ; they might if they would stick to it. The next year they sell their dairy and buy sheep. The price of wool is low that year; and they hear that much money has been made raising tobacco.— Thus they go on, changing from one thing to another, and never succeeding in any. Stick to your business.
