Here Sophio slnrted. She heard tho

sho stood before the mirror, smoothing
down ner brown hair with a taste truly
comical.
"H won't do to seem intoreiled," sho
said as she took a finishing surrey of hor
person in tho gluss, and shook out, with
her plump jewelled fingers, the folds of
her airy tmihlin dress.
The moment afterwards when a servant
entered to announce Mr.'. Harry Ainslee,
she was back to her old seat by the win.
dow, rocking and playing with her fan,
apparently as unconcerned and listless as
though that name had not sent a quicker
thrill to her heart, or the botraving crim
son all over her pretty face. "Tell him I
wiil be down presently." she said.
The girl disappeared, and Sophie flung
open tho window, that the cool, fresh air
might fan nway the extra rosiness from her
complexion.
J hen she went again to the mirror, and
after composing her bright, eager, happy
face into an expression of demnroness, de
scended to thopnrlor. A smile broke over
the features, and she reached out both
hands to the guest; but as if suddenly
recollecting herself, she drew then) back
again, and with a formal bow nf recognit
ion, she passed him and seated in a fur
ther corner of the room.
It was very evident that something was
wrong w ith Sophie ; that ulio had inada
up he mind either not to to be pleased, or
not please. Ooulo it bo that sho hnd fore
seen what wascoming? that a presenti
ment of that visit nnd its result hud dic
tated tho merry speeches in her chamber?
I?o that as it may, a half hour had not el
nped beforo Harry Ainslee's hand and
fortune, (thjugh the latter, by the' way
was - nothing wonderful,) were in the
panic place whero Capt. Morris' and lr.
Wilkins' had been before them.
"The first man I ever heard say such
things without making a fool of himself,"
muttered Sopliie, cmpl.atticnlly, from be
hind hor fin, an she vut blushing and ovi
dently gratified, yet without doicning any
reply to the gallant, straightforward
speech in which her lover had risked his
all ol hpo,
"He ought to do penanco for tho pretty
wny in which he uses his tongue. He's
altogether too calm to suit mo." And So
phie shock her head meaningly, holding
the fun before her for a .crcen. Did sho
forjrrt what she -hnd beon saying? "I

But she could not qnilo give up her

tho world besido. So she rheoke I the
lender response that trembled on her
tongue, nnd flinging off his grasp, with a
mocking gesture nnd a ringing laugh,
danced across the room to tho pi.tno.
She seated herself, aho ran hr fingers
graretully ovtr tho keys, and broke out
in a wild, brilliant, defiant song that made
her listener's ears iinglo as ho stood
watching hor, and choking back the in
dignnnt words that camo crowding to his
lips for utterance,
"Sophie, listen to me!" ho said nt
length ns ho pnused from sheer exhnus
tion. "Is it generous is it just, to trifle
with me so to turn into ridicule the

Sophie's bond was averted, and a sus

Hairy ceased speaking. Ah! why is it
that wo sometimes hold our highest hap

in our hnnds as though it were but dross,

When she turned her countenance, to

In spito of Sophio'a prophecy, twenty
four hours did not bring back Harry.
Days matured into weeks, and still he did
not come, nor in all that time did she see

self a martyr, and acted accordingly. In

"Harry and I another sob quarreled

Sophio felt herself drawn In a closer
embrace, nnd was sure Kate pitied her.
"I Would not havo owned it to anybody
if it had not been just ns it is," she con
tinued, rubbing her little white hands in
to her eyes; "butl think I love hitn al

A kiss dropped on Sophie's glossy head,
nnd tighter was sho held. Sho wondor

her face hidden in the vines.

anew.
"Look up dear, nnd I'll tell you."
Sophie did look up with a start, and
the next moment, with a little scream,
leaped into the arms not of sister Kale,
but of Harry Ainslee.
Sophie declares to this day that sho has
never forgiven either of them, though she

Tornadoes.
These freaks of nature are genorally
preceded by a peculiarly sultry and olec
trio stale of the atmosphere, when thun
der is apt to be expected. A black cloud
is generally formed so too distarce above
tho ground and travels with tho tornado,
its shape in many cases resembling an in
verted cone. Tho storm is found to rage
beneath this cloud. Occasionally it ap
pears to revolve on nn axis, There i a
rushing toward it of tho air from North
and South, both currents gradually bend
ing to the (Castas they approach the track
of the tornado. This has been abundant
ly shown by the manner in which trees,
grain, grass, buildings ic, have beon torn
down. The breadth of the track usually
varies from 60 to 150 rods, seldom exceed
ing 100. The speod of .tho tornado ofAen
exceeds 100 miles per hour. In many ca
ses, especinlly in one which "took place at
Nitchez in 1840, such a vacaum is created
in the centre of the tornado, that the
strongest walls have been known to fall
outward, sometimes in tho faco of a blast
travelling over one hundred and fifty feet
per second. Bricks have boon cairied in
tverj direction, and portions of tin roof
ing .hundreds of yards. Even men and
women have been lifted from the ground
in the sudden rushing upward of the cur
rent, and safely d ropped at the distance
of several rods. The locks of desks have
been broken open by thesuaden expansion
of air within. In other casei buildings
have been saved by having trap doors on
their roofs opening upward, rlants grow
ing oh tho line of the tornado, if not des-1
troyed are so seared and crisped that they
never finally recover. Some have been
dumaged on one sido only. , Little or no
wind is fcH outside of the track ; so per
sons assert who have stiod cloio by,
and common observations confirms these
statements. These visiters are also found
to indulge in sorao strango freaks, as
stripping fowls of thoir feathers ; carrying
articles of clothing up chimneys; drag
ging ploughs, carts and the liko for a con
siderable distance; emptying ponds of
water and fish, and even scooping out tho
mud; taking frames of looking glasses
without further injury to either ; drawing
nails out of roofs, without disturbing the
roof, stripping horses of their harness, and
burying objects thus carried off, deeply
in tho earth. Unfortunate these tricks
are too costly to make a repetition
of them desirable. liut they show that,
like tho elephant with his trunk, the
monster can pick up a pin from the
ground ns well as rend ai onk. Some years
rigo a tornndo occurrod in central .New
York and cut a clean path through tho
woods of about ono eighth of a mile in
width, leaving tho trees and shrubbery
standing on each side liko a vast wall of
masonry, nnd from a distance presenting
the same rules of regularity and order.

The Wife of Jonv Adams. In a few
weeks the proclamation reached tho col
onies nt several ports. Abagail Smith, the
wife of John Adams, was nt tho time in
their homo near tho foot of Penn Hill,
charged with the sole care of their little
brood of children ; managing their farm ;
keeping, house with frugality, though
opening her doors to tho houseless and
giving with a good will a part of hor scant
portion to the poor ; seeking work for
lier own hands, and ever busily occupied,
now nt tho spinning-wheel, now making
nmends for having never been sent to
school by learning French, though with
the aid of books alone. Sinew the depar
ture of her husband for Congress, the ar
row of death hnd sped nenr her by day,
nnd tho pestilence Hint walks in darknesj
had entered her humble mansion ; sho
herself was still weak nfter a violent ill
ness ; her hotife wrs a hospital in every
part; and such was the di-tress of the
neighborhood sue could hardly find a well
person to assist in looking after the sick.
Iler youngest son had boon rescued from
tho grave by her nursing ; her own moth
er had been taken awny, nrJ, after the
austere manner of her forefathers, buried
without a prayer. Woe followed woo,
nnd one affliction trod xn the heels of
another. Winter wns hurrying on ; du
ring 'he day family affairs took off hor
attention, hut her Jong evenings, broken
by the sound of the storm on the ocean,
or the enemy's artillory at Boston, were
lonesome and melancholy. Ever in the
silent night ruminnting ou the love and
tenderness of her departed parent, she
needed tho consolation of her husband's
presence ; but when, in ovomber, sho
read the King's proclamation, she will
ingly gave up her nearest friend exclu
sively to his perilous duties, and sent him
the cheering mossag?! "This intelligence
will make a plain path for you, though a
dangerous one; I could not join todny
in tho petitions ofour worthy pastor for
a reconciliation between our no longer
parent stato, but tyrant state, and these
colonies. Let us separato ; they aro un
worthy to bo our brethren. Lot us re
nounce them; and, instead of supplica
tions, as formerly, for their prosperity and
happiness, let us beseech the Almighty to
blast their counsels, and bring to nought
all their devices."
Sweaki.no. I think a mm that svears
is like a man that fires a gun in the street
without seeing where the charge' is going
to strike. When a person uses profane
language he does not know what or whona
it is going to injure. It is a habit which
comes upon a man gradually, but grows
rapidly. It demoralises a man's conscience
wounds his honor, injuros his own soul,
and hurts tho feelings of others. It is
profitable in nothing, and mischievous in
almost everything I scarcely ' know of
anything for which there is so little ex
cuse. If you say that you indulge in it
only when you are nr.gry, I reply that it is
worse then than at any other time.

A Little Girl Blown Into a Tris. At
Farmington, Iowa, last Sunday, a little
girl four years old, was carried by. a sud
den gust of wir.d and lodged in a cherry
tree, a few rods distant, her clothes hav
ing caught in the branches of tho tree,
where she remained unhurt. The anx
ious father ran to and fro, seeking her,
when the litllo innocent, tripping with
rain, recned trroucii the branches of the
cherry tree, exclaiming "I'm here, Ta!"
&"l can't bear children," luid Miss
Trim disdainfully.
Mrs. Partington looked over her spec
tacles mildly before she replied :

Noni.tSENTiMKNTS. This is nn agreeable)
world nftcr nil. If wo would only brir g
oursolves to look nt the subjects that sur,
round us in their truelight, we should see
beauty where we beheld deformity, and
listen to harmony where we heard noth
ing but discord. To be sure, there it a
great deal of vexation and anxity to meet ;
we onnnot sail on a summer coast farever ;
yet if we pmcrve a calm eyo and steady
hand we can so trim our sails and manage,
our helm, ns to avoid the quicksands, nnd
weather the storms that threaten ship
wreck. We aro members of one family; wn
are traveling thesame road, and shall arrive,
nt the same goul. Wa brentho the srme
air. are subject to the samo beauty , nnd,
shall lie down upon the bosom of our conu
mon mother. It is unbecoming then that
brother shoud hate brother; it is not proper
that IViond should deceive friend; it is not
right that neighbor should deceive neigh-,
bor. We pity that man who can harbor
enmity ngainst his fellow, be losts half the,
enjoyment of life; ho embitters his own,
existence. Let us tear from your eyes tho.
colored medinm that invests every object,
with tho green hue of jealousy nnd suspi
cion; turn a deaf ear tosoindal ; brentho a.
spirit of charily from your hearts; let llio. .
rich gushing of human kindnos swell up,
as a fountain, so that the "golden ago"
will become no fiction, and the Islands of
the blessed bloom in more than "Hypcri-
on beauty." '
