I sat in my room on a midnight dreary, Counting the rain on the roof; Hearing the roll of the wheels aweary, And the clank of the horses' hoof, Hearing the fall of the distant feet That echoed along on the sleeping street, And the hollow song of a roistering rhyme Striking in with the clang of the midnight chime. I eat in my room while the gas burned low On the dead-white chamber wall, While, pale and haggard, and full of woe, And strangely lank and tall, A stony figure in silence stands- Watching the moves of my trembling hands; Watching the drop of my weary eye, With a dim, grim smile at my every sigh. I gazed at this figure in solemn awe, This spectre so gaunt and gray, Who came not by the bolted door, With his ghostly, shadowy way. I saw that the rags on his shrunken form Were dripping with wet from the midnight storm ; 1 saw him shriveled with pain and cold, And his face looked prematirely old. With a shiver of dread in every vein, I spoke to this man of stone; And every word he spoke again Were the echoes of my own. " Whit dost thou here in the midnight deep, When the world is lapped in its sweetest sleep ?" ?What dost thou here?" ho said.again, "When the pillow claims thy wearied brain?" "What art thou, thing of a bloodless life, Whose presence is death and shame; Whose every word is the stab of a knif, What is toy dreadful name? For a moment flashed his eyes in light, Then darkened again, as in endless night : " Whoever shall knowp shall never forget The time when he wore the chains of Deur. " Whoever shall once, in a thoughtless way, Wear those golden chains for me, Shall labor and toil for many a day Before his limbs are free. At first my chains are of burnished gold, And worn in a rich and gorgeous fold ; But they grow in weight, and they grow in size, With every speedy hour that flies. '9But I, with a magic all my own, Can change these chains of gold ; I can turn them to iron, and eat the bone, And gnaw the flesh till the heart grows old ; Till the clothes shall hang in a Blthyshred, Till the eyes shall look like the eyes of the dead; Till the arm shall die in its palsied pain, And the blood run cold in each icy vein. " Who weareth my chains shall know no hope, Shall crave no length of life; Shall die by drug, by knife, and rope, Or live in blood and strife." With his golden chain the shape drew nigh : I sprang to my feet with a shuddering cry, There was nothing to hear but the swell of my scream And nothing to see but the mist of my dream. "DO IF YOU DARE." BY FINLEY JOHNSON. One evening in June, by the rays of the moon, In the depths of the forest glade, All lovely and fair as the fairies are, I met a beautiful maid; Her sweetness and youth, her virtues and truth Her heart so free from sin's taint; Mere words are too weak to utter and speak, Or her beauty to picture or paint; I attempted my bliss to gain by a kiss From her soft ripe lips so fair; But she turned aside with a maidenly pride, And said, ", kiss me, sir, if you dare." I swore by the light of the stars so bright That my every act should prove How constant and true, as the heavens blue, My heart would be unto love ; And I said in glee, Oh, married we'll be, And then I'll taste the bliss Which I can sip from the red, red lip, In the form of a hearty kiss ;" She then gazed down on the grassy ground, With delight in her every air, And tenderly cried, while she gladly sighed, Do, dear love, if you dare." Her commands I obeyed, and soon we both strayed In the beautiful garden of love ; Where we now enjoy, without sad alloy, The joys of the angels above ; she refuses not now,, for bound in love's vow, Her mind is now at its ease ; And I need but request, a squeeze and a press, To kiss her whenever I please ; And daily she cries, while love from her eyes Is darting its glances so fair, That she never again will cause my heart pain, By crying, " now, do if you dare." WOMAN'S LOVE. Poets have sung, romancists have writ ten, and philosophers have reasoned, since poetry and romance and philosophy have had being, of the depth, and truth, and devotion of that exquisite and precious thing called woman's love. And yet, though we have all reflected a little on the subject, we find it ever new, ever fresh, ever pleasant to think of. But what we despair of ever seeing realized i 5, 42 to behold it widely and properly appreciated. Few men who enjoy the inestimable privilege of having one heart which knows no other idol on earth but them, which looks up with admiration, and confidence, and devotion to them, are thoughtful enough to place at its lofty height so rare and precious a blessing. And yet, to be loved is the first joy of earth. But then, woman's love is made up of such a world of tenderness, of self-sacrifice, of devotion, of—let them pardon us for betraying to the many—worship for the man of their heart ; is composed of so many various and conflicting elements, that man in the ordinary hurry and hustle of life, can scarcely find time to seize, learn and understand them. There are, however, two loves in woman; the maiden love, and the wife's love. The absorbing, fresh, and pure love of the maiden requires more to feed it than does the wife, and hence she will rarely really love except it be some one whom she can look up to, whom she can respect, and whom at all events she believes to be superior to herself in intellect or general capacity. The love of the wife is more chastened, and made up in part of duty ; hence will she pardon what the maiden never will ; hence does she often stand by the meanest wretch when he has fallen from his original high estate, and become perhaps so vile, that all else despise and curse, save only one whose love is, perhaps, even deeper still—his mother. It is au innate consciousness of this which makes the lover always put on his best behavior before his mistress, when he is sensible and wise, and which too often prompts the husband to be careless and thoughtless in his line of conduct. Pierre Dupont was a Paris workman of the better class, that is to say, a young man with a fair amount of education, some little experience of life, and, like most of his fellows, with no small opinion of him ' self. By trade he was a printer, and was employed in one of the offices of the Re publican journals. When out of his apprenticeship, he began to work with assiduity and energy. Every day he was at his post, and at last the editors began to count upon him with certainty, for he really worked upon a Monday—a circum stance of very rare occurrence among , the typographers. The consequence was evi dent. When on an evening he left off work, he would assume the garb of a gentleman, with very nearly the manners, ) there being very little line of demarcation between an educated French workman of studious habits, - and professional and liter ary men around them. - They want some of the easy manners and polished address; but even this many of them can assume with their black cods white waistcoats, and polished boots. Pierre Dupont wag a fortunate man. In addition to his salary, he had a thousand franoes annual income, left him by his mother, so that he could with ease indulge in his two luxuries, books and good clothes. When a little more than one-and-twenty, Pierre began to feel lonely. His neat, well-furnished room appeared to want some one better able to keep it in order than he could himself ; ideas connected with meals taken at home, flowers in his window, somebody to talk to and read to, floated through his brain, and, after some delay, took shape and form. For a wonder, the French workman of one-and-twenty, felt that he wanted a wife. He began at once, therefore, to look about him ; he knew plenty of nice girls who would have been very happy to have been taken out of a Sunday, treated to a walk or ride, but this did not alone suffice ; he wanted an agree able and intelligent companion, one who would please not only his eye, but his understanding, and he looked some time in vain. One evening, when coming home to dress, he noticed a young, pale, sad looking girl coming down stairs, with a small basket of work on her arm. He made way for her and passed up, but his mind was quite full of the face he had just seen. It was a quiet, pretty face, which doubtless in health had been lively, but which now wore a look of care and sorrow. She was in deep mourning, too, which probably explained the origin of her woe-begone expression. Pierre Dupont, when dressed, came once more down stairs, and when going by the door, asked his porter who the new lodger was. Ah ! ah ! my prince of lodgers,' said the concierge, with a smile, you allude to Mademoiselle here. I knew you would like your new lodger. Come in and speak to her ; the poor child is sad, and has come down here asking me in such a soft, sweet way to let her sit here, because she is lonely, that I cannot think of refusing.' hope Mademoiselle will pardon me,' cried Pierre, in a state of considerable confusion, but I thought you were not well, that is—' You are very kind, Monsieur,' said the young girl, gently. Now, I tell you what, Mam'selle, Mon sieur Pierre is my prince of lodgers, my Rodolphe, though I am no Madame Pipelet, a good, steady, honest young man. Do you see him there with his book ? He is going down to sit on a bench in the Tuilleries to • read ; now the air of the garden is certainly healthier than here, though my lodge is famous for its 9 airy situation. If you will take my advice, you will just go out with him, and read and work until it is dusk, when a short walk will do you both good.' If Mam'selle be not to unwell, I should be most happy to offer to read to her while she works.' But I am afraid I should be intruding on Monsieur—' Bah !' cried the concierge, warmly, ' allow me to be your good mother for the nonce. You are sad and he is dull— you are the very couple to enliven each other.' Both laughed heartily at this sally. Pierre offered his arm to Louise ; she timidly accepted, and an acquaintance was thus unceremoniously made in the usual free-and-easy manner of our lively neigh bors. They went to the garden of the Tuilleries ; Pierre made Louise sit down upon a chair, for which he paid the sum of two sous, or one penny British, and then began to read to her, with her hearty consent, one of the masterpieces of modern French literature, the Girondins of Al phonse de Lamartin. Louise scarcely listened at first, but presently her atten tion was drawn, and before half an hour she hearkened with all her ears. But am I not tiring you?' she at length exclaimed as Pierre ended a sentence. 4 Oh, no ! Mademoiselle ; I could read for hours if I did not weary you.' I never listened to anything with half so much pleasure in my life,' said Louise, warmly.' Indeed, then I will continue,' replied Pierre, looking at her with intense satisfac tion, half inclined to have added some thing to his speech. He restrained him self, however, and went on reading. At length it grew too dark to read, and as Dupont closed his book, Louiseput away her work, and rose from her chair. The young man offered her his arm, and turned away up the Champ Elysees. He asked her, by way of beginning the conversa tion, if she had been long in Paris. Louise, almost choked with tears, replied that she was born .there ; that her father, a thriving tradesman, had died when she was young, leaving only her behind with a widowed mother. Under her care, the business fell away, and when at last two months ago her mother died, she had no resource but to turn her talents as a clever rieedlewoman to account. She had some l'friends, once visitors at her father's table, who gave her work, and promised to recom mend her. Hitherto she had found ample employment, and hoped to continue to do so if health and strength were spared her. But you seem delicate, and scarcely able to labor sufficiently hard to suffice for your living,' said Dupont, kindly. Oh, I am a strong and hearty girl by nature,' replied Louise. I nursed my dear mother, however, three months before she died, and fatigue and grief nearly killed me ; but every day I get better.' What shall you do to-morrow V said Dupont. I do not know.' Well, suppose we ask Madame Carotin, our concierge, .to go a day's pleasuring into the country.' Louise raised her head and looked at the young man. She was not used to hear of such consideration in workmen gener ally. She was a shrewd and clever girl, and she judged the young man at once. But why take Madame Carotin said she, with a faint attempt at a smile. Because, as you do not know me, per haps you would not like to go out alone with me.' I should have objected once, but I am a work girl now, and I must submit to the usages of my ease. I have Madame Caro tin's recommendation, you know, and if I am not intruding, I will go.for a day in the country with you. Thank you, Mademoiselle,' said Pierre Dupont, gratefully ; I shall, then, call i i iiiki:E4arillliaolidifllli:i7'(l;:ye:rjl:l•J 4: 1 ;44:WA:I 1:4 itp:AlNsi::y_4l: 3 i v4.1:444 LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 17, 1860. you early. If it is a fine day, we shall find plenty of employthent until night. Louise thanked him very much, and at the lodge they parted, Mr. Pierre Dupont stopping below to speak with hisxoncierge. The good woman spoke in rapturous.terms of the young girl, whom she had known, it appears, from a child. Her father's . shop had. been opposite, and when her mother died without a relative in the world, the young girl gladly accepted a room in the house of which Madame Caro tin was the Cerbetas. Now you want a wife,' said she gar rulously ; upon my word, she's the very one to suit you ; domestic, hard-working, never idle, a clever needlewoman, one who would make you all your shirts and waist coats; and when her grief is past, as cheerful as a little bird.' ; But my dear Madame Carotin,' ex claimed Pierre, smiling, ; not a word of this at present. I have not seen enough of Louise to judge of her capacity to make me happy. I have a sort of presentiment we shall like one another, but, for heaven's sake, don't talk any nonsense to her.' ; .Motus ? silence, said Madame Carotin, placing the end of her forefinger on one side of her nose, ; I know her too_well for that. She's as timid as a hare.' • So much the better,' replied Pierre Dupont; and with another strong recom mendation for silence to the talkative old woman, he lit his candle and went up to bed. He did not sleep as soundly as usual that night ; his thoughts were given to Louise, whom he already felt a deep inter est about—a very strong step at his age, on the way to love. He rose, however, early, and after calling Louise, dressed.— They then sallied forth. Pierre proposed an excursion to St. Germain by railway, and Louise gladly 'acquiesced. So to the railway they went, after breakfasting in a milk-shop on coffee, eggs, rolls and butter; a hearty meal apiece for twelve sous, or six-pence. Louise seemed already aroused. Sleep, as Shakspeare has it, truly knits up the ravelled sleep of care ; but after a time, when the first storm is over, pleasant companionship is always the best antidote against sorrow. Pierre Dupont spoke much of flowers, of country life, of poetry, of lovely scenery, of trees and woods, and its wondrous works, until Louise listened with rapt attention. The young man was happy without any alloy entering into the composition of his happiness, and with a good share of intellect and much reading, his conversation was necessarily interest ing, where a much more intellectual and well read-man, but full of doubt and care, would have been profoundly dull. They reached St. Germain about eleven o'clock, and went at once to the terrace which overlooks the river, one of the most beautiful views around Paris ; he thence pointed out all the different features of the scenery, after which they turned their steps to the wood. Louise seemed de lighted, a faint rosy color came upon her cheeks, and hev'eyes beamed with intense happiness. Dupont was enraptured and young, ardent and impulsive, thus, toward the afternoon, gave vent to his feelings : Pardon, Mademoiselle, my rash and sudden speech, but I never felt so happy before. In fact, my sensations of delight are such to-day, that I cannot refrain the expression of a wish that we may spend many such happy hours together again.— Madewoiselle, I have long wished to mar ry, but never before found all that I wanted combined in one person. I do not just now wish to be intrusive, but if I could hope that by-and-by, at a future time, I might hope—' Oh, Monsieur Dupont,' cried Louise, with unfeigned surprise,. it is impossible that you can love so insignificant, so plain, so inferior a girl as I am. At all events you know nothing of me.' Such a day as this is all that is needed to know one so innocent and open-hearted as you are. Mademoiselle, I declare that, after the six hours I have since morning spent in your company, I love you warmly, sincerely, deeply ; there are affections which spring up in an hour—' And die in less,' replied Louise, gravely. ' No, Louise, I ask you for no promise save this, that for a whole month you will permit me to see you every day ; that occasionally you will be the companion of my_walks, and that you will decide—' Nay,' said Louise, after a few moments reflection, will be candid. I knew last night from your manner, from the tone of your voice, from your looks, what would happen this day ; and though surprised an instant at your brusque declaration, I have been half prepared for it since last night, and I, too, seem to have nothing to learn about you. I will not speak of a month, but of three ; but if you then really love me, and are unchanged in worthiness, I will be your wife.' Proud and happy you have made me, my Louise,' said Pierre, much moved. Proud !' cried Louise, ,shaking her head ; no, it is I that should be proud. A poor useless girl like me, seldom obtains so brilliant a chance as to be the wife of an industrious and steady workman.' Pierre thanked her warmly, and then they walked away from the wood in silence, arm in arm, too happy to speak ; for, alone in the world, young, full of sanguine hope, the future all before them, bright sunny sky above and enamelled turf beneath and birds singing around, they were supremely happy under the influence of Love's young dream, the brightest, sweetest dream, that life presents to man. Louise scarcely liked to own herself how, a lone orphan, she had been fascinated by the gentle attention of a clever and handsome young man, whose only fault, that she could see, was a little somewhat pardonable—pride at his own superior acquirements. A few days after, they went to Mendon ; but this day their mutual affection was unreservedly owned, Pierre having the intense satisfaction of hearing from the young girl's mouth words of love and confidence, which justly made him proud and happy. It was now definitely settled, as they had no parents or relations to consult, that their marriage should take place at the date before alluded to. Pro digious was the delight of Madame Caro tin, in part at her own perspicacity, in part at the prospect of Louise having a happy home. She herself nndertook to renovate and prepare the small apartment which was to receive the young couple—a task which she fulfilled with immense satisfaction. About a fortnight before the wedding, Pierre was one day coming home a little earlier than usual from his atelier, when he fell in with—it was on Monday—a par ty of jolly fellow-workmen, who were toddling toward the barrier to drink. Bravo !' cried thsy, here is the mar rying man. Ah !• ah ! you are a pretty fellow to give up your liberty at this time of life. A pretty bad example you are setting.' It is my taste to marry,' said Pierre, quietly, and •I will have no man quarrel with my fancies. Yon are at liberty to remain single if you like. Good evening.' Nay, if you are serious, marry, in God's name. But come, to-day, and let us drink to your happy marriage. I would rather not,' exclaimed Pierre. Why, are you afraid to go to the barrier of a Monday before you are mar ried? You will be afraid to speak to us by-and-by/ lam not afraid; but my sweetheart expects me. I don't mind, however, one glass' We'll just drink a litre, and you shall go. Come along." Stupid Pierre Dupont ! Are, then, the joys of home, of love, the picture of her bright smiling eyes to greet you, the blessed holy welcome to your hearth of a good wife, the ineffable satisfaction of bearing happiness and light into your humble dwelling when you come at even tide, all as nothing, that you risk all this from the wretched fear of looking afraid, and to drain, with half-drunken compan ions, the poisoned draught For such is wine, even water, in such society. Pierre went to the barrier, and sat down to drink He had not dined, and the wine, passing swiftly round, flew to his head. '.Coast after toast was drank to the health of the young girl. The workmen, who really liked Pierre Dupont, paid high compliments to his talents and acquirements, and, at length, with ease, made him stay to dinner. He drank more and more, not caring how much, now that his brain was inflamed, his eyes on fire, and the whole frame fevered ; and, at length, sallied forth with his com panions to a gaingette, or ball. Early next morning, Pierre Dupont awoke, his head aching, his tongue parched, and with that particularly small opinion of himself which a man feels when he has been intox icated all night. A very nice man you are to be called the prince of lodgers,' said Madame Caro tin, who was doing something in his room ; brought home drunk at four o'clock in the morning. Poor Louise she got up at the noise you made when you came in, and she has been crying ever since. A brute of a husband you'll make. But get up, and go and ask her pardon.' I cannot see her this morning,' said Dupont, turning to the wall with a sense of foolish timidity, which does more harm between man and man, and between those who love, than even more grievous errors. When your ill is reparable, always face those you have injured, own your faults, and be assured you will find more ready forgiveness than by keeping out of the way. You are a fool,' said Madame Carotin, sententiously and away she went. About four o'clock Pierre Dupont went out. He was ashamed to see Louise, he was too ill to work, his head would not permit him to read, and- desperate, he turned his steps once more to the barrier, to obtain fresh excitement from drink.— By thus madly returning to the charge, many a man has become a habitual drunk ard in a week. Pierre Dupont went home again the next day, with a very indistinct notion of where he had been all night.— He lay in bed until twelve o'clock on this occasion, and then, by a great effort rose to go to his work. On a chair close by the side of his bed he found a letter. It was a letter from Louise. She firmly declined the hondr of his future acquaintance. She could have excused his one night of folly, but not his second deliberate return to such a prac tice. She thanked him much for his kind attentions toward her, hoped he would allow his good sense to overcome his new weakness, and concluded thus : It is not in my power conveniently to leave the house for a month ; I cannot pay my rent until then, here or at my new residence. But if you make any attempt to see me, I must turn into the streets. I trust to your honor aßd good feeling.' Pierre stood overcome with grief and sorrow. He knew very well that he had at first failed in his former g6od habits from mere weakness and inability to con tend against temptation, or rather, from a dislike to own that he was-averse to go to barrier drinking shops; then that he had stayed from vanity when flattered and cajoled ; and then he had returned from pride and timidity, rather than own his fault. He now made matters ten times worse ; for crushing within himself all his better aspirations and his nobler feelings he returned under the influence of anger and revengeful feelings. For a whole week he abandoned work, and scarcely once returned home. But this could not last. He was not used to such excesses ; he fell from one degree of folly to another, and at the end of ten days found himself on a bed of sickness, helpless, almost dying. Louise had all this time remained confined to her room. She was pale, thin and ill. But there she sat, bending assid uously over her needle, avoiding all intercourse with any one, but full of cour age, firmness and resolution.' She had been deceived in Pierre Dupont, and she resolved that no other should ever call her wife ; that she would work for herself, and remain an independent woman. One morning she rose early, attracted by loud voices in the next room. He must have a nurse day and night, or he must go to the hospital,' said a man's voice. Let him go to the hospital, the brute,' cried Madame Carotin. I'll not nurse him and Pm sure nobody else will.' He'll die here,' exclaimed the Doctor, t he must have medicine every half hour.' A woman's heart heard this, and all the resolutions of Louise faded away. He was ill, he was dying, he wanted a nurse. She despised him that she knew, but all were deserting him save her, and what, 'could she do ? Oh, woman's love, well has Scott portrayed thee. Never did Louise, when in the first freshness of her girlish affection, hasten to his side with more alacrity than now. In an instant she was at the door, and then inside the room. g He shall not go to the hospital,' said she, quietly . ; Gif he wants a nurse, I am ready.' --BIIOHANII2I. More shame for you,' said Madame Carotin; he's not worthy of it.' He is ill, Madame Carotin, and every one else abandons him. He is no longer my affianced husband, bat I will gladly nurse him. Very well spoken,. young girl,' said the cheerful old doctor, and with yoar assistance, I answer for him, to say noth ing of the nice bouillons that Madame Carotin will make for him in it'day or so.' g Bouillons, indeed ! I wish he may get it. But now let him be still,' said the dotter. g Give him this medicine, every half hour, one teaspoonful, and in the afternoon, I will return.' Woman's love ! woman's love ! how bright is thy presence and thy results." How smooth soon was the pillow of the sick man, how nicely shaded the curtains, how comfortable his head, and how regu larly was his medicine administered. And there she sat, gazing at his altered face, with unchanged, unalterable, undying love. She gave him a teaspoonful of his medi cine. Who is that ?' he vainly said, trying to open his eyes. It is I, Pierre, your own Louise, your wife, your friend,' she replied, quite unable to hide her feelings. Leave me !' cried the young workman ; I am not worthy of your affection, of your love. Abandon me to my fate, for I have shamefully sinned against you.' But what Could provoke you to drink so?' 4 1 do not know unless it was fear of ridicule. They treated me as if I was a hen-pecked husband before marriage, and to show I was not, I went.' Well, you won't do it again, will you said Louise kindly. Do you forgive me 7' asked Pierre in a low tone. 'I do.' Do you still love me?' he continued more anxiously. Pierre, you know I do,' she answered, gazing at him with eyes beaming with affection. And you will be my wife V If you make haste and get well— Bless you, my own Louise. I vow, gentle girl, that the same shall never happen again. I will have more courage nd more resolution—' Be yourself, that is all that is needed,' replied the young girl in a cheerful tone. But my work—what will they think of me at the office 1' Don't fret about that. I will go there to morrow morning and say that you have been very ill, and they will excuse your absence.' And so she did, and when she came back with a message from the editor, saying that he was not td hurry himself, but get strong and well, he felt happy because this was the natural reward of his former good conduct. With a very clever doctor, a patient and kind nurse, Pierre Dupont soon came round, and though still a little pale and thin, was married on the day originally fixed. Louise insisting on keeping her promise. The young man soon returned to his work, and having suffered severely for a moment of weak ness, took his lessen in good part, and made it influence his future life. Having abandoned the use of strong drink, and renounced his former drinking companions, he found so much joy and happiness in his home, besides his healthy, blooming, and industrious little wife ; he found so much genuine delight in pleasures shared in common with the one fitting partner of his joys and sorrows ; he looked back with so much deep gratitude to her forgiveness of her follies ; his earnest endeavors were always made to promote his interior comfort, and to look first in all things to his wife and family, thus proving himself one of the men who in this world can appreciate the value and merit of that rich treasure of Woman's Love. " Not at Home." There are , any quantity of fashionable ways of doing up fashionable as well as unfashionable lying. s , Not at home,' is the favorite style of giving a visitor the cold shoulder. Of this detestable dodge a lady narrates an incident whioh we here record : I never, ' said she sent a message to the door but once, and for that once I shall never forgive myself. It was more than three years ago, and when I told my servant that morning to say not at home,' to whomsoever might call, except she knew it was some intimate friend, I felt my cheeks tingle, and the girl's look of surprise mortified me exceedingly. Bat she went about her duties and I about mine, sometimes pleased that I adopted a convenient fashion by which I could secure time to myself, sometimes painfully smitten with the reproaches of conscience. Thus the day wore away, and when Mr. Lee came home he startled me with the news that a very intimate friend was dead. glt cannot be,' was the reply, for she exacted of me a solemn promise that I alone would sit by her dying pillow, as she had something of great importance to reveal to me.' Here suddenly a horrible suspicion crossed my mind. She sent for you, but you were not at home,' said Mr. Lee, innocently ; then he continued : lam sorry for Charles, her husband ; he thinks her distress was much aggravated by your absence, from the fact that she called your name piteously. He would have sought for you, but your ser vant said she did not know where you had gone. lam sorry. You must have been out longer- than usual, for Charles sent a servant over here [three times. I never in all my life experienced such a loathing of myself, such utter humilia tion. My servant had gone further than I, in adding falsehood to falsehood, and I had placed it out of my power to reprove her, by my own equivocating. 1 felt humbled to the very dust, and the next I resolved over the cold clay of my friend that I would never again, under any cir cumstances, say not at home.'

RATHER Garzny. - -A scene occurred at our depot, writes a-Missouri friend,•the other day which for cookimpudence, I have seldom seen paralleled. I was standing there on the arrival of the St. Louis packet, when a gentleman comes up and addressed a man standing close by me, evidently a stranger to him, with the common Western question : DO you use tobacco I" Yes, sir,' he graciously replied and produced a plug of the hugest dimensions, he handed it to the applicant, who taking out his knife cut off about one-fifth of it, with the common observation— There's tobacco enough for any man, ain't there V ' Well I should think there was.' Wry well you take it then,' he coolly replied and handing the small piece to him, he put the plug into his pocket and walked away. THE KISS. " Who gave that kiss ?" the tuaoher -cried ; "'Twas Harry Hall," John Jones replied. " Come here to me," old Switchem said, And solemnly he shook his head : " What evil genius prompted you So rude a thing in school to do ?" Said Harry I can hardly say Just how it happened.
