She was in the very - spring of life, and never 43

handed her 'to the little parlor of twelve by four

any means but slightly, bewildered. She looked
and probably felt like a newly caged canary bird.

_ self ready , to cry pcccavi, and yield at discretion.
- Weeks and months passed by, and poor Char
lotte:was beginning to despair of realizing her
. pleasant dreams. She would look at times a little
sad at Doctor Bell. 'Tis even said .the ; Doctor
once surprised her in a flood of tears. But she
teas, always bind. and geatle, and an angeoerous
thought towards him, were treason in her breast.
she loved him, with her young heart's best and
'purest love, ahcl_sbemed to live upon his smiles;
yet, when alone, she eouldnot help contrasting the
rough and unseemly house in which she lived, with
- _the stately mansion of her father; in which she
passed her former years.
- • : "This Won't do," thought Doctor Bell, "I must
ischtiol that gentle heart; for l know the soil is
there to grow the choicest flowers—flowers whose
fragrance will cheer the dullest hours of her life ;

yield their rich perfumes wherever mho may set
her feet." And the Doctor drew on hie second
glove.
There is a peculiarity in the climate of the old
Bay State. A native can snuff the air, and though
- :There be a cloudless sky, tell within en hourof the
time of rain, It was a sober, golden afternoon in
autumn. Stirred by the sultry breeze, the yellow
leaf rustled in melancholy eloquence." Eddy.
• ing gusts 'were sporting on the hills, and the val
leys sent up their plaintive murmurs to the ear.
A thousand birds; of every hue and song, were
chirping in the sombre : woods.
. _
"Charlotte, Charlotte, slip on your bonnet, and
go along With roe this afternoon," said. Doctor
Bell. And in thirty. minutes they were jaunting
- slowly and Pleasantly along the road. Now and
:-then the-clear and silver laugh of. Charlotte rang
- sweetly through the woods. The Doctor "crack
ed a joke "- or two, and talked With a volubility
which was rare to him. " How would you like
to live in such a house as that," said he, pointing
,to a lowly hovel near the road. Charlotte cast a
furtive glance in the direction of the. but, and
.
would have doubted that it contained a human
• being, had she not seen the smoke curling lazily
',from its roof. "Some miserable drunkard or
prowling, thief, I dare say, makes that his home
to screen him from the eyes of honest men," said
Charlotte, in reply. " We'll see," thought Doctor
• Bell. And they traveled on.
.An hour bad not elapsed, when the Doctor re
, marketl,—.l.l perceive my,dear we are to have a
little rain, and maybe caught before we can reach
home." Charlotte looked back towards the west,
and discovered that - heavy clouds were rushing
wildly upthe heavens. At that moment a deaf
ening peal of thunder startled her., The Doctor
turned, tha head of his steed homewards. It was
a sublime scene that now presented itself to the
trembling Charlotte, The approaching storm was
,in full view, and the clouds," marshalling them-
selves like bloodygiants lathe sky, were tossed to
sual.fro by the storm breath 'of the Almighty."
The electric fluid shot forth ie livid°,flame, and the
deep tbundet shook the earth. The sobbing winds
swept furiously through the howling woods, and
the /Payee darkened the light of heaven. Then

A little girl was repeating,iffsweet and plaint

_were severally reclined upon that mother's
lap:.: As she gazedupou their devotions, her coun

est,-tenderest sympathies for her little ones, and
a saintly 'smile and Christian resignation beamed
from her half tearful'eyes. - Charlotte stood for a
moment in the door of that miserable looking
sanctuary, unnoticed by the inmates, and eta sin
gle glance saw their painful destitution of the
comforts'or life. In one corner was a sad apolci
gy for a bed, close to the head of which stood a
plain, uncovered stand,supporting a well thumbed
bible. Not .a thread of 'carpet was to be seen. '.A
half quenched fire was Struggling into life upon
the hearth: end old and homely cupboard, with
out doors, exhibited a meagre account of knives,
forks and dishes. Recognizing -Doctor Bell, the
'widow spranglowards him, and clasped his hand
in her's with feelings'akin to emotion. Charlotte
was not "a little astonished at such a reception;
but they were intradirced--and the poor woman
at once took her by the band and led her, to the
chair which she had just left.
.4' You Ore welcome, My dear madam, to such
shelter as the God of the -helterless has provided
for me. But you are cold—very cold," and, she
fidd'her hand upon Charlotte's shawl.
Yes--a little—l am—but—" and it same to
Charlotte's mind that the poor woman, too, was
cold, with her plain and unseasonable dress; and
it were'cruel In her to complain in her presence
Charlotte looked herfull in the face. Never had
shiseen each beams of tenderness. There was
something heavenly inher eyes, which awakened
the. most painful admiration. Then, in the corm
tenance of her children there was a sweet tautness
which madehersiclrat heart. She asked of them
their several names, and was promptly but- mod
estly answered. After some time was spent in
broken conversation, the storm began to abate,
and it was not long till the clouds disappeared
from the face of heaven. The Doctor stepped out
to prepare for leaving ;.and as it to seize the op,-
portunity, the widow poured into Charlotte's ears
a strain of eloquent and enthusiastic praise of ter
husband,rapid and full of feeling,..such as she had
not expected ta hear.
"Good, kind creature," she added, "he never
permits me to thank him as I should. Oh! he
is generous indeed: you know not howmuch we
owehirn for the amount of happiness we have
of life.'
"By what means, may. I enquires has he secured
so large a claim upon your gratitude!"
"Many: by his constant and untiring labors
around the couch of my poor, dead husband ; by
his attention to my most pressing wants when be
breathed hi, last ; by his regular visits since his
decease, and the consolations bs ha, afforded front
his words of kindness; by the most substantial
evidence of his goodness of heart, in leaving me
the means of subsistence, from day today, until I
was able to provide for myself; by—"
No More, no more," interrupted Charlotte,—
"How can you I. in such a house as this!"

"This was a strange part of the philosophy of

the old clock was transformed with pleasant ' ,
smiles. In short, everything stood out in luxu

of gladness really stole into her eyes.
A few days afterward, the Doctor and Charlotte
were sitting together in their little parlor. The
winds were howling mournfully around the house,
and a cheerful fire crackling on the hearth. She
felt that she was surrounded with every connive

The following scene is reported to trove occur
red on board a steamer carrying detachments a(
Alabama and Louisiana volunteers to the late
ivar:—
One tall volunteer from the pine lend of Ala
bama, was unhappy for the want of employthent.
He sauntered along "for aomelhing to do," when
it occurred to him that he might, as he expressed
it, " take a good wash." He was a tall, lank fel
low, with a shocky head of dry, grassy hair, hang
ing down to his shoulders. With a deliberation
consistent svith au idle sea voyage, be commenced
rubbing the turpentine soap of the ship into his
hair and skin with commendable vehemence. He
had cause to take a great deal of pains, for he ob
served to himself" that he bad an acre of barrack
mud on him."
It must be observed, that all this while the vex.
set was blOwing further out into the sea; and by
this time the Mississippi water in the wails
room had become exhausted, and he threw a buck
et over the vessel's aide to repleniith his basin.
The first dash be made was at his bead, The
turpentine of the soap and the saline of the watel
soon formed a chemical combination, and the oily
qualities of the soap disappeared, and left some
thing in its stead resembling tar. Two or three
rakes of the fingers through the hair elevated it
upright on the Alabamian's. head, stiff' as the quill
of a porcupine. "That's another trick played up
on me,'' said the unwashed, in a rage, his hair still
growing fiercer. At this moment the water drip

nauseated to the last degree, Coolly and determi

This was an interesting cue. The Plaintiff wed
to recover the first instalment of a Bond dated in Oc:
*ober, 1845.- The Executor denied the execution of
the Bond. This Plaintiff endeavored to prove by a
witness, that the Bond was executed by Davison at
the house. of Dr. Gilliam, sometime in October, 1845,
but could fix no previa° day. The Exectitor codex.
'tared to rebut this by shooing that the health of Da.
vlson was so infirte'cluring the month, that ho could
not have orritteu the signature affixed to the Bond—
that his right arm wa4aralyled, and finally that he
was not at the house of Dr. Gilliam during the u
tile month. Owing to the nature, of the case, tho de.
fence consisted mostly of circumstantial evidence.
