"Wirer will you do with yourself this 'summer; Ifamilton I" inquired Edward Ber- Han of his friend, 'as they stood, after:dinner, on the steps of their hotel. "Do? the dear knows. Strike out a new path for myself, if 1 can." "That's right; you have genius for any thing. But , pray let your originality serve the cause of benevolence, by - admitting me as -a akareiln your new idea when it arrives." "You are welcome to the plan if it—suits, which 1 am quite sure_ it will not," replied Hamilton. "To say truth, my fancy is alto. nether too eccentric to meet the concurrence of a well trained and submissive member of society. like yourself." "Let me know it, at all ments. I need not guess Newport or Saratoga, or even the mountains, sioee all these are too commot, to suit your roving genius. - Perhaps a trip to Paris?" "No, that would be jumping from the fry ing pan into the fire, to u‘a an elegant and original metaphor. I tell yoti, Berrien, lam sick _of what is called refined society. I have seen it all, and there-is nothing more to in- terest me, I Would cast of these eluting; and go Where Lean see and enjoy nature herself." "Bah! I thought..we were to have a new idand here is one as old as Solomon.--- Vatiity of vanities, said' the preacher; all is - trinity.'" . . " Well, I Was not claiming originali. ty for that idea, though without-doubt it ap plies as Well in New YOk as Jerusalem, be. ing adapted to all latitudes: But I doubt whether the prem. - ter was Yankee enough to invent the means . l have in mind to get rid of ennui.

"Ha! ha!' eccentiic, truly! Why it would you, have the - charm of novelty to you, Hamilton. • But what will your _sin cere friends and devoted admirers among the affectionate mammas 'have to say ?" "Nothing a:, all, for, mind yoit, my friend, I depend upon your honor to keep my se cret] . Besides; thank heaven? I'm , not yet the property of any 'tractions!, and , prowl ; dent mamma; nor do I mean to be." ,-, "Hamilton, you are a cynic. Any sensi ble fellow would be more than contented with your prospects.

" AO you are picturing to yourself along perspective 'of rand felicity, in which figures some finely country damsel, like the milk maids in the old pastorals. Well, Ihniikon, success to you and your ideals.. As for me, not being blessed with genius or originality, I shall folloW the beaten, track to Newport and the Springe Tasstirei yourself, dear reader,_ to the lit tle village of N—, -in northern Vermont, and you shall find adecidcd contrast to the noisy confuSion of the great' city. If your tastes are Mrtned on the Young American standard, and a vieibleair of go-aheail-itive ness ie essential to your contentment, you will be sure'io pronounce the place quite lifeless-and uninteresting. If you - have, been all your life encaged in splendid drawing rooms, or at best a prisoner on parole, not to transcend the barriers of conventional re straint, you will, with the most amiable of frowns, declare the quiet, homely little ham. let, enttuyeure unendurable. If you have the earnest love of all things beautiful, which God has given, to poets and little children—if your spirit is yet unfettered by the eluting of conventionality, ana 'untainted by a vitiated taste—you - will find inspiration in the pure, sweet air, joy in the bright sun shine, rest in the spirit of quietness and con tentment that broods over the little. hamlet like the peace of heaven. You will long to east-off, tur a time s the burden of worldly care, that youi whole being may gain new tone and vigot from the ministrations of na• turn. • Let usicall at that old fitrln-house, where a young girl is seated with her sewing.— Yes, there are two of them; but the young er (a child of ten yearsy is at the feet of the elder. " Who is this new teacher, Phebe, that 'you like so much . l" ' "Mr. Hamilton,.his name is. He's a real nice maa." "Hamilton," repeated the other; "I have certainly heard the name before." In fact, quite a phenomenon had appeared in N.—, within a few weeks, in the person of the new, district schoolmaster. It had been the custom of the school committee, from motives oreconomy, to employ a‘ fe male leacher during the summer months; but the demands of the now applicant, in the Matter of salary, were so very moderate, and his qualifications so remarkable, that an innovation had fon once been. allowed. As for the last point, indeed, never had an aspi rant fur the pedagogical honors appeared in N— so thoroughly furnished fur the try ing ordeal of examination. He was able to answer ` -without confusion all the profound questions proposed to him, in arithmetic, grammar, and even orthography, and sue- Teeeded in leaving upon tha astonished mind of Inspector Graves, the impression that " he knew all that, and more too !" The social successes of the poor school master seemed destined to be .equally brill iant with Lis intellectual triumphs; though, lied he been accustomed to the sincere and whole-hearted hospitality which reigned throughout this simple rural district., he wo'd have claimed no superiority in this respect. Among 4Lercrowd of invitations that poured in upon him, hat of Phebe ,Lee was one of the first accepted. There is one, little fact, which; itt_all fidelity I must state, though, in this connection, it may be considered -irrele vant. In the village church, which, among other uses, sacred and profane, often serves as a reconnoitering ground for general ob. servers; the schoolmaster had discovered at least one interesting film in the square high. backed pew ofFarmer Lee. Whether this consideration-influenced his movements, I do not pretend to say. Certain it is, no Ippg process of reasoning was required to conviriai him that a conscientious adherence to his plan of studying country life, and country haracter would necessitate an acceptance of - all Mrs. Lee's invitations. . It was on this very afternoon, while Ada, with her juvenile companion, Was seated with her sewing under the great cherry-tree before the door, that theitisitor made his ap pearance. Phebe sprang to meet him at the gate; then remembering that something like an introduction was_expected froth tier,' she blushed, choked ; hunt down her head, and stood still. •"Good day,- Pbebe; is your mother at homer said the cheerful tones of the teach "Yes, sir; she's in the kitchen," said the child, Wetly. "Then you will be so good as to present me to your friend here, will you not?" " . "Miss Addie. Ray mood," said Phebe, mus tering . cobrage to advance. "ft's the teach er," she'continued, in more confidential tones, to Ada. " Mr. Hamilton, I believe," said. Ada, of fering ber hand - _witb modest. self-posseission. The awkwardness of the introduction was quickly forgotten in the easy and animated conversation .vilich followed.lton, judging wisely enough, thnt,the tone of fash ionable flattery which he Might have as sumed on anotber_occasion, would be out of place, if not utterly - unintelligible to his simple acquaintance, spoke with manly digni ty and intelligence, and was understood and appreciated. Adi, dismissing all Idea of making a conquest without her lusptil Ames- Bork% 'of costly .toilette and bril Must, surround ings, and, moreover , somewhat amused at the novelty of the role she , was ; actingl sus mined bet part of• the converiation with a ready tact. and yet an unaffected nitittete that rendered her even more. than usually fasei. urging. Thus the very persons who, in a fashionable assembly- would have cha t ted on the most vapid and 'i nsignificant topics, and separated mutually disgusted with each oth: er's insipidity, meeting ?here in simple rein. lions, and thrown upon their own mental re sources, found ample cause for mutual inter. est and esteem. • "have you been king a resident of N---r inquired Hamilton, at length. "Only a shuri time; 1 came in April." . "And what can you find to gn o me you. in - this quiet little place 7"• "Oh ! it is much more pleasant:. than my own home; besides, I've I great deal to keep me busy," replied - Ada with the ut mosrsimplicity, bending industriously over her sewing,' • ,_"Buts have you no amusements—music, dancing, or anything of that , kindl" " e sing sometimes—my Cousin Lizzie and I"—Ada replied, "I used-to'play a lit. tie, „long time ege; but we have no pig°. POPE _ "Perhaps you will allow me to acoomPa: ny you sometimes with-the guitar." It would give me pleasure," was the situl ple reply; and the pleasure was; of course; given and received. - Theschoo!master was greatly strengthened in his_ opinion that simple nature (I) was competent to the perfection of a voice, out th e appellees of are: Certainly, in' all his recollections of amateur or professional singing, he hid beard tio voice, whose flute.; like modul#ions, whose wealth of sweetness, spoke so deeply to his soul, as that of 'the little country cousin at Farmer Lee's,—; Doubt hot, good reader, tharit was speedily blazoned through the village'of that the achoolniester visite& at the Lee farm. houseas many as six evenings in the week; nor were the villace-gossips slow to connect this fact with the, presence of the two. - young ladies from . parts unkßoyin._. But with the gossips we are not conceited. Human soci ety will haie its froth as 'Well as its dregs.— If wo aro to admit that these last do settle in eitiesi,we minuet but remark that the lighter particles find their balance quite naturally where the pressure of real interests is least. The only fact in which we 'Are interested, , is a very serious one—namely, that Henry Hamilton had found, at last the Keystone to the whole romance of his life. • Had some good fairy led him hither through the dis gust? of city life, to find in the wilderness the only flower thaf,..could prove "heart's ease" to his tired existence,' The flower it self 111111 - 11 perfect mystery. The only one, it seemed, that was in perfect harmony with the free freih life of nature around ; the rest with their uncouth ways seemed to have been transplanted from a ruder soil. These,: and similar.specutations, - often troubled the profound depths of the schoolmaster's mind, duting the-hours of daily duty, and made_ further ebiervations necessary each evening for the purpose of solving the problem.— And io;it happened,. quite naturally, that be fore the last sunset ray ha&irested upon the old farmhouse, the said 'schoolmaster with his guitar en his arm, like some traveling minstrel, was to be seen , walking the same road from the village. Usually, too, the first object that caught his eye—quite will ing to be caught—was a eertain graceful lit tle bead, bending witti4 its drooping curls over a pair oLindustrious little hands, that were always sewing, sewing away, under the great cherry-tree before the - door. - We have not leisure to describe—what, indeed every reader c3n easily, imagine-,-tbe progress of an acquaintance . _ so auspiciously .mrnenee& A note received by Edward Berrien, toward the end of August, will re veal the condition of affairs at that juncture.

About the same time, Mr. Colton, in his dusky counting room, was perusing a deli- sate little letter; at the clog of which we must venture to'glance. "Do, dear papa, let me have my own way in this.

"Well, well !" he ejaculated, "she. may play her play out if she wants to, and it se well it has come to nothing worse than - this, Poor schoolmaster, indeed I I fancy I see my little Ada a country schoolmaster's wife.

Canada tavern imbibed - lar gely at` he expense' ofi the two strangers, my, friend and myielE After . we had "smiled and smiled;" we again seated ourselves about the room, and An ominous silence felt uponsall. Burly San Canada piled more wood upon the fire, and then sauntered to the door,whiCh he opeitic - I to gaze forth upon this weather.— A thick blackness had overspread the sky while Uncle Paul , was speaking, and a chill gust of wind burst in at the. half-open , door, shaking the bottles ,and glasses . behind the bar till they jingled again, and throwing great puffs of smoke out of the broad fireplace. Burly Jobs closed the door again, and -fe ared to his seat upon thelbar, and ,presently the rain began to fall, -and, . being driven against the windows by the fierce wind, beat thereon the Devil's tattoo with a vengeante. Far down the valley, the mounds of fire burning on the "Clearing,", gleanied,with a. dull and sombre red, , . till they . bet:tune quenched and dead beneath the peltitig storm. Then the wind increased, and the old house shook and. trembled beneath its fury. "It's a bad 'night for Pete," quoth John Canada, knocking the ashes from his pipe and preparing for a fresh smoke. . • . "A bad night it is," assented - the others." • "He's ben through sadder,"' soliloquized Uncle Paul, from behind his runrird' water. "Who_ is Pete 1" "fie runs an express," John Canada ex plained, "'from Isere to North, Aching and back, twice a week; takes out fresh meat and soon, and fetches in - groceries and those stuff. He's a dark, road to go, 'specially through the' long tanner.'" The men •about the room assented with many ejaculations.- Then all fell into silence again, while theolgrripest without rather in- creased than diminished in itsfury.. There was no lull in the storm,- which made too muck distorbance about the little hostelry to enable any o tt er outlide - sounds to bidistinguishable, watt the door was sud denly burst in as though by the .eastbined force of the wind and rushing rain, and a man was precipitated Violently into the middle of the apartment. _ * He was a tall, bony fellow, clad id:lroner out in. butternut colored woolen, and"hearing a brokeii i - unlighted lantern in one band and a whip , in the other.

About two miles fiom the tavern they . said; It was a long, narrow gorge in , the mountains, through which rah a small stream, and. was infested by a certain female panther .of fisbulons size, that was. known to have madtiler abode , there for at least _ten • yeari past,:and managed always to escape. from thosti h o e tin pursuit of her. She bro't forth w litter of young every year, which Were easily killed, but, for herself, she was so cunning and active, no man had yet suc ceeded in slaying her, and she was the terror of all the dogs in the .neighborhood.. They all agreed that Pete, the expressman, watt right, and the chances were that some ddrk - night-he wouldrbecoMe " &it's meat" before his time. • . • • • : My Cambridge friend and -I--I- may , - as well call him Jones- for want of a better name wbereby to distinguish him—retiredlo rest full of the panther ! I. presume we dreamed of. it through the night.

Jones fervently grasped my band, and I returned the pressure. , Inquiring more about tbe beast, we learned that it kept itself hidden during_the day, but frequented the road 'through the " !Ong hol low" after nightfall, and that from ten o'clockin the evening to midnight was the best time to get a chance` at it. We procured two gin s.

The thick woods upon either hand stood darkly on the steephillekles ' and the over hanging-branches met above tie narrow road way, leaving only ind istinet glimmering of sky through their , interlacing ends to mark where the winding path %crept up into , the heart -of, the mountain. '• A small stream swollen by the, previous nightie rain, foamed and roared down the narrow gorge, now rushing beneath a rude bridge .of • unhewn logs, and anon tumbling'snd plashing down the steep at our side. There was no sound save that of the water and an Occasional 'gutteral cry from some swift-gliding owl, as he slid through the air on downy and noiseless wings: - passing like. a night-spirit, seen and gone with .a weird,swift silence of passage. • It wits well for us that there was no' foli age upon the trees, as yet, for, otherwise, we should have been in the midst of a ;dark:weir so dense as toluive precluded any possibility of hunting. .As it was, there was a -faint light from just'overheild, that struggled down to theloot of the, glen where we stood. We sauntered slowly up the read till- we came to a place, where the valley widened,- and we could head, by the silver running. of the - brook, thaiiewas spread • into:st more: shalloW, and less fiercely rushing ritrearn,ond ran over pebbles.. Here there was a sort- of pause in the ascent; a short,, narrow Plateau, where the sides of the , gorge curved inly, leaving a- broader space for the stream and the winding road: ?Thick bashes, principally birch and alder, grew at either side of the path, and et, about the centre of the level; ;a tall, bare, end fearfully gnarled oak towered high sibove,-throwingrone knotty. and crooked limb entirely across the road . ... q .- this place we psuied: It Was the 'only' spot-we had foundwhereWe could keep with in sight of each other and still be some little distance apart. - _ Jones 'stationed himself at the talior end of the level, whilel took my pike above him, just at the point *here a sudden (nave end ascent bid the road beyond from eight. Our eyes had become accustomed to: darkness,' and our- ears to the gurgle and splash of , the 'waters.
