George Jackson was a, joung mm of prouise, and was 10 considered tj all in hi Dative town. He was a lawyer iu prd'csBion, and irai gradually laying the foundation for a strong and steady prac tice. He had one great drawback to contend agaicbt, however. He was a u:an of i strong, impetuous nature, and had inher ited with it a fondness fur dissipation. In bis younger days, anil until he conquered the practice oi his prjfensiou, he had led a wild, reckless life, iod had beco regard ed as a hopeless case. Upon rceeiviug his certificate ho had suddenly astonished lii.s friends ly an abrupt discontinuance ot his old habit, aad a steady application to business. Vet no one knew what a struggle it cost him to dij so. No one kneir the mental agony he endured in trying to cast off the temptation which constantly haunted liitu, and sought to cast him down from the po sitiou he had reached. It was, with hiui, a continual effort ; for, in the society in which he moved, not a day passed that lie did not experience a tcnif.t.tion to aban don his resolution, and indulge just once iu the dangerous pleasure. His legal iricode were by no means so strict iu their habits, and they frequently urgently urged hi to to join in a friendly glass ; snd he scarcely attended an entertainment that be was not offered wine. All these offers were quietly aud courteously refufcd ; hut sometimes the young man felt that the effort would snap Lis heart. He made the struggle bravely, though. He firmly resolved never again to taste intoiicatiug liquor for be kucw himself well enough to be assured that the first glass would ouly lead to another, and the old thirst fur liquor ouec aroused, he couW. not tell where it would end. Thus matters 6toud when this story opens. Mr. Jackson, feeling that ho was on th road to buocc's, and that prudence an! energy would certainly bring him that blessing, thought it about time that he should take a wife. He believed that he had arrived at years of discretion, and was capable of ankicg a judicious eelec tiuu, and he ended the mutter by resolv ing to settle this question as soon as he had an opportunity. In the town in which he was residing were two young women, who had long divided the admiration of the gallants. One was a beautiful, brilliant creature, with glorious black tresses of the same hue. She was, by many cousidered the belle nt the town ; and indeed it seemed hard to find a more beautiful woman than darah Oarlylc. Others, however, gave the preference to Lucy Lane, a quiet, modest little things whoso exquisitely sweet face seemed to have stepped out from oae of Raphael's pictures. Mr. Jackson had known both ladies for some time, but as he had not until teccnt ly considered himself a "marrying man," he tegarded them simply as ordinary ac quaintances. Like others, he had been perplexed to decide which was the more beautiful. At the first glance he invari ably awarded the palm to Miss Carlyle; but a sight of Lucy Lane's sweet face would scatter this conclusion to the winds, and he would fuel iiresistably drawn by the latter. When he made up his mind to hunt foi a wife, his thoughts went immediately to the two beauties, and he resolved, that if he found tbeir other qualities such as he hoped, to try and win thcono he couM love best for hid wife ; to tcil the truth, tbe young man was half in love with both, hut with a growing preference to Lucy. He wanted a wife for something more than mere beauty, and he could not help believing that he would Cud what he de sired amore surely in Miss Lane than in Miss Carlyle. A favorable opportuni ty soon presented itself to decide the ques tion. Miss Carlyle felt flattered by the atten tion of one who bade so fair to achieve distinction, and resolved to win him if her powers of faciaation could do so. On her twenty-fourth day she gave an entertainment which surpassed anything the town had ever witnessed. George JavAsoa wau there. Shs was radiantly beautiful, and the young man was half determined to address ber before the even ing was over. - . ' When the guests went into the supper room, Mr. Mr. Jackson found himself be tween the two beauties. Some one pro posed the health of tbe fair hostess, and all but the young man drained their gluss es to the bottom. He did not drink. Miss Carlyle noticed this and said to him in surprise : ' Is, it possible that yon refuse to think my health, Mr. Jackson V "Pardun me," he said, calmly, "you know I never drink wiue." ''ISut this onoe will not make any dif ference," she urged smilingly. "I am sorry to rcfue you," he said, ''but I must do so. I resolved fife years ago never to taste any intoxicating driuk-i. I might do mysolf great harm by acced ing to your request." "I am euro you cacnot do vrrong to driuk cue la, aud that to my hetlth," hhi said ae sweetly as before. She taw Lucy Lane watching them ci'mlv, aud she meant to show that vcu.11; a'aJy bo greatly the had tbe yousg law yer iu her power. But fur this she would have accepted his excuse, and (.eased to urge him. Mis Lake's fare flushed as fahe beard the young Utuptreis' speech, aud involuntarily the gared at Jackson as if awaiting hii answer. "Miss Catlyle," said the young man with evident tuibarral:ia.cut( "I beg you will nut ui'-e mc in this matter. I have made a solemn resolution to tb:laia ficm a!i kinds of liquors. I cansi'ier uy hon or involved in this resolve, asi I assure you would not have me provi f.)si to it." "Vou will nut do o ly i.'.-lipiaj uo this one," still picsisted the IciUty. "It is tot fair lor you alone to rcfus. to drink my health. I ata really oeiided with you. 1 dou't sec why you should refuse to gratify me only for oace." "To be candid with you," speaking alow, while his face Gushed painfully, "I am afraid to do so. You remember the life I led five years ago. I am afraid that everroae single departue from tbe path I have marked out for myself might drag me back to it." Turning his head fur a moment, he saw Miss Lane standing by Lim, and he knew from the look of sympathy which her face wore, that she had heard tie conversation. ' Vrhai chall I do," he asked her al most unconsciously. ''Vou must decide for yourself," fhe answered quietly, "but I would tlie be fore I would abandon such a resolution." Neither saw the angry fash that dart ed from Miss Carlyi.s' eyes. Sha con trolcd herself, however, end said careless ly : "I shall urge you no more, Mr. Jackson, and I am sorry you should be so much afiaiJ to pay me so timplo a compliment." She bowed and passed to another por tion of the room, thinking that the your: mai, in order to avoid offending her, would finally yield. He did not and she soon caw Lim leave the house. He went eway with the mat. rimonial question finally settled. A wo man who would urge him as she had done to violate such a resolution, was not the person for a wife. Lucy Laue's simple reply decided his doubts ii her favor, and the next day the young lady received a formal offer of his baud and heart, which she promptly accepted. They were mar ried, and never afterwards did Mr. Jack son have cause to regret Miss Carlyle's conduct towards him for it gained him a wife. jfc-A haughty general who had risen from obscurity to the rank which ha cu joyed, one day reviewing bis troops took notice of a man in the ranks who was ex cessively dirty. Going up to him, he said : "How dare you appear on parade with that dirty shirt ? It is as black as ink I Did you ever cc me so nasty, and with such a dirty shirt when I was a private man V "No, your honor, to be sure I never did," answered the man, "but your honor will please tj recollect that your honor's mother was a Kather- icoman." JasfAn Irish lad having been asked if the man who had last flogged him was his own father, replied: "Vis, sure he is the parent iv me ; but be tratcs me as if I was bis sou by another father tnd mother, bad luck to him." TVlIIPn.NQ ROPXD TUE STUHP. ' - - Juit after the State election in Tenc py I van la, Mr. Smith, a warm Cass man, ' met Its friend, Mr, Jones, an enthnsiutie Tsylor man. ' "Jones," sajd Smitli, "the election of Johnston doog not increase General Tay lor's chances in Pennsylvania." "Yes it does," answered Jones. . "I'll bet you a hundred dollars that Cass carries that State," cried Smith. "Done," exclaimed Jones. "Jiut," ho added after a moment's hesitation "hot if we bet we shall Iosc-our votes." "So we shall," said Smith. "I'll tell you what," Jones cried, his- face Lightening up "I'll tell you what may le done. My wife shall call on your wife, and bet with her." "Good," says Smith. Home vent Jones. "My dear Mrs. Smith wants to bet a hundred dollars with you that Cass will carry Pennsylva nia." "Mrs. Smith bet a hundred dollars with, me !" exclaimed the lady. "Ves if yoa would like to Let, there's the money. Go round this afternoon and see her, and put the stakes into the hands of a lady friend." The two 1-dies met, and the money was deposited. As soon as the result was known, Jones told his wife to go and draw the money, as he had won. The lady was not slow in obeying her husband that time, and before an hour the two hun dred dollars, exchanged into hulf eagles, were giiiteriDg thiough the interstices of her beautiful purse. When Jones came home at night, he said to his wife "Well, my dear, did you get the money V "Yes," was the reply. "I'll trouble you fur it, darling, if jou pie as o." "Trouble me for what ?" "For the money that I won of Smith." "Vou won I Did you bet, Mr. Jones?" "No, no, that is, yes. 1 bet in fact, though to save my vote, I nuado you tbo agent," arEwcred Jones with visible cm larrassircat. "I cannot consent, my dear husband," sai.l the lady, with great dignity, "to be a party in any violation or evasion of the law. I cannot consent on your account you whose honor is so dear to me. And I shall therefore keep the money, in or der that I may still retain my respect fur a law-loving, law-honoring, law-obey ing huibaad. Dear Jones, kiss me." The lady was as good as her word, and Jones discovered, that in his attempt to whip the old gentleman round the stump, he had lust a clean hundred. Thii is a fact. X. Y. Dis-patcK. THE DANDY AND HIS TURKEY. Chief Justice Marshall was in the habit cf going to market himself, and car rying home his purchases. Frequently he would be seen at sunrise, with poultry in one hand and vegetables in the other. On one of these occasions a fashionable young man from the North, who had re moved to Richmond, Va., was swearing violently, because ho could find no ono to carry home his turkey ; Marshall step cd up and asked where he lived, and said, on being told, "That is my way, and I will take it for you. heu he came to the house the young man inquired : "What shall I pay you?" "Oh, noth ing said ths Chief Justice, "it was ea my way, and no trouble." "Who was that polite old man that brought home my turkey ?" inquired the young man of a bystandci. "That," replied he, '-is John Marshall, Chief Justice tf the U. S." "Why did he bring home my tur key ?" ae ked he. "To give you a severe reprimEnd, and teach yon to attend to your own business," was the ieply.
