"Visitors '.".exclaimed Kate Bennett, impa tiently, as she laid aside the; book she had been reading, and in which she had been deeply in terested ,and took the cards which the servant presented. 'Dear me, how provoking ! Just as lam in the most exciting part of the story-04h. that pert, disagieeable Emily Archer, too," she added., reading one of the cards ; "who else I wonder ?" Was there magic in that simple bit of paste board, inscribed only with two words "Richard "Warren ?" It would almost seem so, so in stantaneously did her countenance change.— The frown that had disfigured her beautiful . brow disappeared, her eyes sparkled, and with out another thought of the book, she hastily as sured herself,. by a glance in the mirror, that her toilet was unexceptionable, and left the room. • As-she entered the drawing mom, and greet ed her 'guests with a t 'tat grace ant e cgance of manner for which she was distinguished, Emily Archer, surveyed her with one rapid, critical glance ; but dress, as well -as manner, was faultless. ••It tit tif enters a r a pang a 'Warren's of the lov% What cl meeting dreamed mess, eac: heart ? Yet so iE was. Kate a y belles, and their claims to admiration were t o eqnally balanced that it required no little ex ertion on either side to gain the ascendency and he acknowledged the victor. Kate, with her classical features, queenly dignity, elegant figure, and exquisite taste, at first sight threw her rival into the shade, piquant style, sparkling, animated countenance. and sprightly conversation, were by many preferred to Kate's statuesque beau ty. It was impossible to decide which was the loveliest': each had her adherents and ad mirers, but as they were equally numerous, it seeme:d probable that the season would draw to a close without-the all-important decision of the question ° , which had Leen par excellence, the Just at, this time„ Rio l .rard Warren returned from Europe. The arrival of so undeniably elegant, handsome and wealthy n gentleman was an event—all the fashionable world was in a flutter, and the rivals saw at once that the important epoch had arrayed. She whose claim he advocated, WhOlil he favored with his admiration, would at once stand upon the pre carious pinnacle of belleship. Each left noth ing undone to win Itini to her side, though their tactics were entirely different. Emily brought to bear upon hurl the batteries of her sprightly %cit. while Kate adroitly laid the mine of apparent queenly in litference. As yet,though it nas evident that Richard admired both, his preference Was not known—perhaps — he - ha rdk knew-h - trusel f w hichhe-thought-t-he- Most charming:.

"Law ! don'tye know who I be ?" exclaimed the new comer, in no wise disconcerted ; "weal, now, 1 do actually believe you've forgot me. Don't ye know yer cousin Ben ?

At the commencement of this-speech, Catha rine had alternately flushed and paled, for she was deeply mortified that Richard Warren and Emily Archer should have been the witness of such a scene. She caught a triumphant and scornful glance from Emily. It restored all her pride. With all the grace of which she was mistress, she turned to the new corner : "You must excuse me, cousin Ben," she said, “that I had forgotten you: A few years make great changes, and I can hardly retrace in your countenance a feature that reminds me of the lad who went nutting with me in the dear old woods of Hampton. Allow me, Miss Archer," she added, turninr , to her.

Kate could have cried with vexation, as she thought' of .the sarcastic and ludicrous deserip timid the scene which Emily would delight in giving, but. she controlled herself. She was a kind-hearted girt, and could not forget the. pleasant visits she had paid to her dear uncle and aunt Adams, or Ben's untiring effin-ts to make her happy when at his father's house. She resolved to repay him now, and her gradi ousness of manner quite fascinated poor Ben. as she made all sorts of inquiries about the old farm. sooner nau arren; i IRS Atlcs Archer left the house, than she began, with all her powers of sarcasm, as Kate had foreseen, to ridicule the scene they had witnessed. Mr. Warren smiled, but seemed absent. "I had no idea that the Bennetts had such vulgarrelations," continued Emily, well know- Mg that the fastidious Richard Warren would consider this a serious objection in ti l e wo ma n 'of his choice. "Notwithstanding all Kate Bennett's ele gance, there is a certain something about the family that betrays low blood," “Yes," returned Warren, hardly knowing what he said ; and feeling that she had gained one point, Emily walked on, in the best possi ble spirits, internally ttiumphing over the dis comfiture of h:•r rival. That evening at the opera, who should be at Kate's side but cousin Ben, dreSsed in.exeellent taste, and evidently much interested in the perfortn4nce, while Miss Bennett listened with polite attention to his frank and sensible criti cisms.. At parties, too, he was her attendant ; and this open acknowledgment of her relation _suite blunted the point of Emily's satire. Ms Bennett assisted the youth to a situation; and very speedily his rustkity wore off. lie had both good look's and good sense, and under liis cousin's judicious training, he very soon did her no discredit, even among the_ccowd of fine gentlemen who surrounded her. Emily Archer saw all, and bit her lip in vexation. She could but acknowledge the superiority of Kate's strategy, and that she had triumphed in the event which she had hoped would humiliate her. - ,From that time Richard Warren was her constant attendant, and ere long he had open ly acknowledged his preference hy &ern% her his heart and hand. , iirKate," he said, shortly after their betrothal, " s never cease to thank cousin Beu for givit:g nie my bride. I admired you as a belle, buvhis coining and your receptioi. of him. proved that you were something better than most young ladies," Kate smiled one of her most bewitching smiles, "I certainly do not look upon his male apropos arrival as a misfortune at present," she said, “whatever I may do in the future." Iler gl ,mcc of loving confidence contradicted her last mischievous words, and she listened with downcast eyes and blushing checks to the assurance of her lover that no exertions of his should be wanting to keep her from regretting the event which had given him a glimpse into her heart. .lany years had passed. In ,the sober mat ron, Mrs. Warren, one would hardly have re cognized the dashing btlli;, Kau) I;ennett. I:!est with wealth, a cliettful home. a fond husband. and lovely childien, she had led a happy !ire, and time had bat increased the at tachment of the wedded pair. But cloudless as tile had been, a storm was gathering. Her husband, always cheerful, grew woody, rest less and unhappy. She tried in vain to dis cover the cause of his gloom, but he made only evasive replies to her inquiries. and she could only guess at his troubles, that they were con nected with his liff:;ifiess - . She imagined ; her surmises were correct. Ile entered the room where she was sitting, one-day- s -and-exchnined, flinging himself on a sof.k ••Kate, we-are ruined.

That was not right." -And or what use would it haie been ?" re turned Warren. I ant weary of borrowing from one friend to repay the other, day after day.--Even tha,t has failed- me at last, and - I h .ve come home to - hide myself from the pry in4,gaze of those who will too soon be, talking ,of my disgrace."

Totally overcome, Richard could only grasp his friend's hand.,, while his eyes tilted with. an unwonted moisture. -How can we ever thank you enough, dear est cousin Ben ?" cried Kate. "How can we ever repay you ?" "Tut, tut,• Kate, I am only discharging a part of a debt I owe you, my dear c lui, I owe all I possess—all I am—to you.

False Pretences. ~ TWO DOLLARS A-YEAR. Deplorable Ignorance: The baneful influence of the New York Trib une nn the minds of those who read it is welt illustrated by' the following from the Spirit of the Age. a sterling Democratic paper published at Woodstock, Vermont: "It is a mortifying amusement to witness the ignorance sometimes manifested by per sons who derive what little political knowledge they possess from •the prejudices of such jour nals as the New York Tribune, or some abo litionized semi-religious sheet. A victim of this kind of politieaLgarbage, with a face suit ably drawn for the occasion, (it being Sunday noon.) remarked, ih our hearing, that 'the President had - ordered an army from the South to go to Kansas. to help sustain slavery,' but, added he, with a defiant tone, 'we will have an army from the North dere to meet theta in a few days.' . "The church-bells rang for afternoon ser vice, and the narrow-minded bigot disappeared. We could but pity the clergyman whose duty it had become to throw away 'stated preach ing' upon such sterile soil. "Such expressions . would be simply ridicu• loos, and nothing more, were it not for the fact that the4gnorance and prejudice which prompt them giiNvrti the actions of by far too many fin r the credit of Vermont.. Deriving all thei- political notions from the sources referred to, they have come to the belief- that this Uniun is composed of two groat antagonistic sections,, and their only duty is to nourish'a hatred:to those living in the slave States, and . at till times and in all places give vent to their illib eral and sectional feelings." ..

TIiR DISTANCI: OF TIM SUN FROM TITS EARTt! breitmastNtL—The German journals have gi veg . some tables which prove that the distance be tween the earth and the sun isincreasing an nually, and argue from it . that the increasing humidity of our summers and . the loss of fertili ty by the earth are to be attributed sorely to . this circumstance. No credit has heretofore been given to traditions of ancient Egyptians and Chinese, according to which these people formerly said the sun's disc was almost four times as large as we now see it, for they esti mated the apparent diameter - of the sun a' double of. what it is seen in our, day. If, how ever, we pay attention to the continued diminu tion of the apparent diameter of the sun, ac cording to the best observations of several cen turies, we must suppose that the ancients were not mistaken in the estimates they have . trans mitted to us. In , the' course of SIX • thousan, years from the Present time they assume that 'the distance will be NO great that only an eiy;htl► part. of the warmth we now enjoy front tl.e sun will .he communicated . to the earth, and it will then be covered with eternal. ice, in the slime manner as we now see the plains of the north, where the elephant formerly lived, and have neither Spring nor Autumn.—Purl. 7'rans. RATSI:I4 TURK HYS. —As the prices,of turkeys this winter are so high. the Tribune asks what busintp.S can a farmer follow which is half so profitable, even at half that price for his tur keys ? But without trenching upon his ordi nary purralits, every farmer's family could raise a hundred turkeys. They would afford a hundred dollars clear protit. A lady in Louisiana employed an old negro woman and a small boy, and brought to maturity fifteen hundred turkeys. The only art exercised was to house them in a fire-heated room while young. during cold storms. Can't some farm er's wife or daughter 1,1;o and do likewise next summer ?
