still walked up and down, but evidently not
as if he expected a dinner. Suddenly, as
he began his second loaf, a thought seemed
to strike him, and he moved in the'direc
tion of the Foubufg St. Germain. But in
a minute he stopped, looked at his soiled
gloves, felt his cravat, and turned back.—
Decidedly he would dine on dry bread.
The Countess now hurried back to her
carriage, convinced that Gustave was to
have dined with some one, and not some
one with him. The whole force of the
affair was now in the question—Was he
to have dined with a man or a woman? —■
Lucie de Montdely, in all her experience
in society, young and beautiful as she was,
had never been in any way affected by the
passion of love. Neither was she now.—
But the talents and misfortunes of the
young and handsome artist had excited in
her an interest she had never before felt;
young as she was she Was .quite persuaded
that, should inquiry satisfy her as to his
honorable character, she should feel much
more.
About twelve o’clock the next day Gusi
lave rang at the door of Eugene Marsouin.
Catharine opened, and to his surprise he
found the Countess and Mademoiselle de
.Fonsec breakfasting with the indolent Bu.
gene, who was, however, trying to look
amiable, and eager to oblige. He looked
.intensely relieved when he saw Gustave
‘ 1 came,’ said- Gustave, after paying his
respects to the-ladies, ‘ to reproach you for
keeping me an hour waiting for you in the
- Palais-Koyal. I refused an invitation to
dine with Madame la Comtesse, because
you had made me a promise to dine with
. you at Very’s,'
‘ Fatal mistake !’ cried Eugene with a
tragic air. ; ‘ I was so confused yesterday
: morning, I must have said Very’s; but it
was my day for the Cafe de Paris, where I
y waited dinner an hour for you. Why
didn’t you speak to the garcon— he would
* have told youf
monsieur,’ said the Countess, with a
smile which unconsciously was radiant,
‘ you, deserted me for my cousin? I shall
punish him by making him dine with me
,to-day; and as I know his indolent habits,
I shall send a carriage for him. You re
collect,; MonsieurdeSimonet, that this day
at two is my first sitting. Will you take a
seat in my carriage?’ ’
y .Gustave accepted, and that afternoon the
picture: was commenced. Three times a
week did the young man stand before the
. canvas, and strive to make a,copy of the
living, breathing, : beautiful thing: before
■ y him; but it was more difficult than he ex*
pected. : The beauty, grace and unaffected
. charming. character of the young widow,
the easy and elegant familiarity of her tone
to,her'. protege— Mademoiselle de Fonsec
. .was always the companion of these sittings
-—the real nobleness of her character, and,
aboye,_all, the deep gratitude which he felt
, .ltindness to him, produced a result
which'wonld have been surprising if it had
not been produced. Gustave made scarce
ly any progress with his picture.
.About two months had passed away.—
It was May last year; the.three were in the
very midst of a sitting. Lu@ie wps leaning
' back inhor chair, while
’ "some delects in the expression of the Coun
y ’; servant suddenly summon*
- ed Mademoiselle de As the
door closed- behind, her, let his
pencil fall. He stood pale, and almost with
tears in his eyes, before the lovely woman*
‘ Madame la Comtesse, I give v it up ! 1
cannot complete your picture: it is a. vain
attempt. lam not worthy to do so.”
‘ \Vhat mean you, sir!’
‘ Madame, 1 am frank and honest. I
have looked too often on your face for two
months post. No artist can paint the fea
tures of her with whom he is madly, hope,
lessly in'love!’ .
The Countess'closed her eyes an instant
and : spoke not; then she rose, and advan
cing-near to the young man, who stood with
his eyes-fixed on the unfinished portrait :
‘Why hopelessly, Gustave!’ she said, lay
ing, her hand on his arm.
Half an hour later, when Mademoiselle
de Fonsec returned, and entered the room
unannounced, she started back, and would
have' retired. Gustave was kneeling at
the Countess’s feet, one hand in his, the
picture of proud, unalloyed happiness. Lu<
cie was speaking in a low tone, and telling
him of some project for their mutual hap
piness. ■
‘Come in Laura,’said the Countess with
a sweet smile, ‘ and share our happiness.
We.are affianced, and all the world must
soon know it.’
It was in June, and at the church of the
Madelienei The door was crowded by
carriages. It was a splendid wedding; all
the fashionables of Paris were present.—
The pair were equal in all but mouey, and
Gustave brought genius, while Lucie bro’t
gold. He was, even in these days, at least
her equal.
It was a warm day, and the crowd smil
ed as Eugene Marsouin, with a grim coun
tenance, ascended the steps of the splendid
church., The poor man suffered intensely
from beat and a day of dissipation. He had
actually risen at ten. o’clock ! But he was
really'attached to both Lucie and Gustave,
and did not'seriously grumble. He resis
ted; however, strongly an invitation into
the country;but at last he yielded and
spent the autumn of the year with the hap
py couple. He has, moreover, so far bro
ken-in upon his habits, as to dine once a
week with them during the season; and he
never fails, after the first glass of wine, to
deplore his mistake about the invitation to
Gustave, and to apologise for giving the
otherso poor a dinner in the Palais-Royal.
The husband and wife always laugh, and l
hope they always may. Their loye is
founded on mutual esteem, and no worldly
feeling has any share in its composition^—■
They advise Eugene to follow their exam
ple, but he declares that'he could never en
dure a courtship and a wedding, to say no
thing of the chance of finding a wile who 1
would bear with his eccentricities. But 1
perhaps in time he may envy the happi- 1
ness of his cousins. We shall see. ■■■ I

Judge Woodward.
The Clinton Democrat, of the 11th inst., contains
a correspondence between a large numbor of the
citizens of Lock Haven and the Hon. Geohoe W.
Woodwahd, in relation to the approaching Judicial
nominations. From this {correspondence we learn
that Judge W. positively declines being a candidate
for Judge of the Supreme Coart or this State, and
further that he will not be a candidate for Judge of
the District over which ho now so ably presides i
He says:
“My purpose is fixed, and 1 cannot anticipate
circumstances that would induce me to change it, to
avoid all judicial office, and devote myself, for a
few years at least, to professional life.”
The determination of Judge Woodwahd will bo
regretted by hie numerous friends throughout the
State. He possesses qualifications for the Supreme
Bench of the highest order—he is an accomplished
lawyer, an upright citizen, a. sterling Democrat and
an honest man.
JOHN B. BRATTON, Rsqi
Many influential Democratic journals in the in
terior of the State have spoken out in favor of the
nomination-of this gentleman for the office of
Canal Commissioner. Mr. Bhattok is the able
Editor of the American Volunteer, at Carlisle, one
of the most radical, consistent and influential pa*
pens in the State. He possesses talents of a high
order, and would be an honor to any station in the
gift of the people of Pennsylvania. Although the
Democracy of Allegheny county have expressed
their preference for that sterling Democrat, Hon.
William Bkattt, of Butler, yet we cannot de%
cline the friends of Mr.3&ATTo* the privilege of
making his claims known through the columns of
the Morning Post . The following article from the
Star of the Norths at Bloomsburg, Columbia co.i
we publish at the request of a member of the
Legislature:
From thtSiar of thrNonh t cf Frb 20.
Canal Commissioner.
Mr. Editor Tho people of this Commonwealth
have a great interest in the selection of competent
and worthy men for the oSceofCanal Commissioner.
The Democratic party also, as a party, have a greet
Interest at stake to this question, to have suitable
sad reliable men nominated as their candidates, to be
supported by them at tho polls; and who, when elect*
ed t will faithfully carry out the views and wishes of
the party and guard with a zealous care tbcjiutercsts
of the Slate.
. In saying this much,-! have a goatlemao io ray
mind from one of the southern tier of Counties of (be
Common wealth,, who would fill up to overflowing
all these requisites. I refer to JOHN B. BRATTON,
Esq.,of Cumberland county, and the present editor
and proprietor of that smooch Democratic journal,
the American Volunteer*} t do not know whether ho
would consent to be a candidate, or faavo hia name
Used in connection with that office, but bis notnioa*
lion aed election would, 1 have no doubt, bo highly
gratifying to the Democratic party of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Bratton ia well known to almost every public
man an the State sa a sound and reliable Democrat.
Hib personal acquaintance is very extensive, hav
ing formerly edited the State Capital Gazette, a ster
ling Democratic paper at the seat of Government,
and having also executed the public printing for the
Commonwealth for several successive years. Hie
manners are pleasing and .winning, sod scarcely any
gentleman could be osmed who would bo a more
agreeable, pleasant sod efficient officer.
But independent of his own intrinsic merits, the
eeclion'of the State from which be bails has strong
and peculiar claims at tbtß time. He comes from a
tier ofweallby counties who have always been heavy
tax payers, to support a system of public improve*
i went* which have in no wiso benefited them, bat i
i which have proved a positive injury. While those i
i improvements have been beneficial to the counties
i throngh which they pass, and have opened the mar
! ket to the people at the west, they have brought
i competition to tbo very doors in the grain markets of
the southern counties, and rather depreciated than
otherwise tho land of those counties. They have
paid largely to the public treasury for the benefit of
Philadelphia andihe peop’e of Pittsburgh, and the
western region generally; but havo received no res
muneration themselves. The price of real estate
in York, Cumberland, Adam*, Franklin, &c. f has
not been increased, but diminished by the construe*,
boa of Uie public works. - These southern counties
are, therefore, clearly entitled to n respectful con.
sideration, when they present a candidate for the Ct
oil, Board. Their claims have been heretofore
strangely overlooked. While tbtfeaat, the west and
the north bare been always represented in that
board, the south has bad bat ono member of the
board since the works wnreconslrneied, and that on*
ly for one year. I will mention a few of the names
.who have filled the office, and lbeir location. The
eist have lately had ilnbley, Hartsborne, Longstreth
and Morison ; tbo north , Packer, Foster, Orerfleld
and Gamble; tbo west, Hugh Keys, Reynolds,
Clark, Burns end Painter; wbfio the soatbern and
centra!. portion .of tho State, havo had Jesse Mil*
ler alone—and that for a period'of only ono year.
• Now I think, in common with many others, that
justice and fair dealing; give that section of the State
the next candidate—and that it would be nothing
more than sheer justice to a portion oftbQ Common
wealth which has made great sacrifices to maintain
oUr system of public improvements, and whose Do •
mowacy has never (altered -in her eopport of the
nominees oftho Democratic party, no matter to what
location they belonged. PUBLICUS
Flax Cotton.
:Tbe Richmond Times referring to a statement in
the London Morning .Chronicle thatfivo hundred
tops of Bax per diem, equivalent to 800,000 bales of
cotton, will be required for Manchester alone, to
eupply the demand which would be occasioned by
tbp substitution of that staple for cotton, says :
!‘ As the whole crop of cotton in Iho U. 8. did not
hat year exceed 2,200,000 bo lea, and will not, in all
probability, go beyond 2,000,000 this year, onr read
er* will at once see the importance of the resolu
tion. Wo know not what the annual conaumpilon
of .Manchester may bo, but wodo’know that it is on
ly tone (though the largest) of many manufacturing
tojvna of Great Britain, and we know, moreover,
the quantity of cotton which it is lima propoaed
to displace at a single dash, is equal to nearly one
third of (be largest crop made in the 0.8.”
|Tho Southern press generally treat lightly the
statements in relation to the enbatitution of Bax for
cotton. The Boston Journal says r—That Bis will
bii brought into competition with cotton, however,
sebms to he established beyond a doubt. Tho com
petition may not affect the cotton planter to a seri
ous extent'for several years to come, but it is a wisp
polio;-to look the danger in the faee.

description of this “ City of Spindles,” in which he
states lhat there sre now io operation a large num
ber of cotton mills, employing 9000 female and 4000
male operatives. The capital Invested is 813,000,-

35,000,000. pounds; wool, 25,000,000 pounds. A
reservoir baa been completed on an eminence, which
supplies the city with water. A gaa company it also

• ■ . VVTTIV. :
- Yesterday a greater number of petitions were
presented than on any preceding day on record.—
No less ..than three hundred and sixty nine petition
were presented and referred to their appropriate
committees. Almost every conceivable subject
upon which legislative action is allowable, and
many upon which it is not, were embraced in them.
Amongst them, however, were several highly ime
pottant ones. Prominent amongst them were two
fiom a large number of the most influential and
respectable citizens of Philadelphia city and
county, praying that a divorce might not be grant
ed Dr. Wetherill. I had an opportunity of ex
amining these, and was no less surprised than
gratified to Gnd that bo many of those whose
names carry with them weight and influence, feel
interested in this matter, and are giving their aid
to defeat a bill calculated to : wrong and disgrace
an honest and innocent lady. The feeling on the
subject is growing more and more intense here
with every day. Dr. Welherill’s counsel is on
the ground all the time. How successful his ef«
forte will be remains to be seen, though it cannot
but be the earnest wish of every sincere friend of
woman and woman’s rights that he may fail.
Remonstrances against the divorce are pouring
in from Montgomery, where, I believe, the parties
reside. One of them bad over six hundred ei-na
lures, and many of. them are largely sighed. I
have heard of but a single petition praying that
the divorce may be granted, although there may
have been others,
An additional member; (Mr. Mcßeynolds,) was
on yesterday added to the Divorce Committee, at
the request of the members—those comprising it
having found it impossible to come to a decision,
the parties being equally divided. I have not
learned what Mr. Mcßeynolds' views upon the
subject are. This increase of the committee will,
however, have the effect of determining soon the
matter in committee, and then we shall have it
before the House in the shape of a bill.
To day has been Private Bill day, and as if to
keep pace with the number of petitions yesterday,
the number of private bills passed to-day .will be
the greatest of the session thus far. Although by
the list sent you perceive there are but sg£. the
actual number is still greater, as many others
were appended to the printed ones which did not
appear in the regular-calendar.

.An Act to open and extend an alley to the city of-

Moal of these bills passed without debate, al
though upon a fetv of them there was some spir
ited discusssion. A little passage took place be
tween Col. Robertson, of your county, and Col.
Guffey, of Westmoreland, on an amendment pro.
posed by the Utter to a bill “ to facilitate the pas
sage of coal and coke boats on the Monongnhela
improvements." Col. Robertson defended himself
ably, but the overpowering weight of argument
advanced by the member from Westmoreland was
too rottcb for him. As this has bsen Col. Guffey's
first speech this session, it is to be hoped that the
brilliant success which attended it may induce
him to favor the House more frequently with
specimens of his eloquence. SPRIG.
The Hon. James Buchanan arrived in town to
day, and lias taken up his residence at Buehler's,
where hosts offriends now surround him. He
looks remarkably well, and is, I think, one of the
most distinguished looking men I have ever seen.
He is the true personification of an able and wise
statesman. No one enn look upon the manly form
and intelligent brow of James Buchanan and not
feel that he is in the presence of u truly great
man, Well may Pennsylvania call him her ''fa.
vorite Bon." for a nobler ona she does not boast;
and it is with feelings of the most profound satis*
faction that I observe every day stronger and
stronger evidences of the lact that Iho hold he
possesses upon the affections of the Democracy of
Pennsylvania, is becoming firmer and firmer. Si
lently but certainly all classes ere yielding their
homage to his brilliant statesmanship, and soon
the people of the Keystone will recognise the
claims of no other candidate for the Presidency.
The significant movements in the South all point
with unerring certainty to -Mr. Buchanan, as the
only men who can lead on the Democracy to tri
umphant victory. His unswerving devotion to
the Union—his unfaltering adherence to the Com*
promise measures, and the ,marked ability which
baa ever characterised bie course as a statesman,
all entitle bim to the proud distinction. The few
bitter enemies who are covertly endeavoriog to
blacken bis fair fame, will soon bide their “di
minished heads" to avoid the swell of popular in
dignation that will Bweep from Maine to Califor
nia against them. The fame of James Buchsnan
belongß to: his country—his whole life has bean
devoted to her service—every action of it has
been identified with measores designed to promote
her welfare ; and the flay has arrived when a
gratified Republic stands willing to manifest her
appreciation of his eminent services. - .
In the Senate, the free Banking bill was again
tinder discussion, and three sections of it passed
by a pretty .decisive Vote. There can be little
doubt of its final passage in the Senate; whet wjii
become of it in the House is yet uncertain. ]

A bill for the establishment of a Department oT
Education, proposed by Mr. Griffin, was made the
special order of the day. Quite an interesting
debate was had upon it. It proposes to place tbe
charge of the Common Schools of the State in
the hands of a General Superintendent, instead of
leaving it where it can, under (he most favorable
circumstances, be but badly managed. It con*
templates such a department as exists in nearly all
of the Eastern States. It does not increase the
expenses, and is a decided improvement upon the
present arrangement. Aa the bill is an all-import*
ant one, it is but proper there should be a show of
hands upon it, in order that the people may know
how their representatives at Harrisburg feel and
vote upon the subject, SPRIG.
A I9ew Discovery.
A new discover; id the Deguerreotypo art is just
announced by tho Daguerreap Journal of February,
by which impressions upon plates are procured with
all the color* of nature. This discovery has been
made by L. L. Hill, of Weelkill, N. Y., and it is
said that he has produced numerous copies of color*
ed engravings trueto the unt. Each paticular sbado
is presented with oil the softness in nature or art
and marked with great delicacy and brilliancy. The
discoverer had some difficulty with the yellow colo r
at first, bat all colors have and can new, it is said, be
produced. The pictures have much the appearance
of enamelling, and are believed to bo equally dura**
ble, for it is very difficult to efface them by scouring*
and are not acted upon by light. This process, he
says, involves the use of one substance, entirely
new, and is unlike any thing ever named by chemists.
Mr. H.says he has.been offered $20,000 for a half
interest in his discovery,butdeciareshisintention to
continue experimenting’untiljho has perfected it as for
as he can;when, whatever disposit ion may be medo of
it, he has resolved (hat it shall “ not be monopo*
lixed.” .
CoFren-FACED Ttpe.— Several public journals in
New York and Boston have made their appearance
in a new dress, being printed on a type faced with
copper, which is thus described by the Now York
Courier and Enquirer, ono of tho papers which has
adopted it:
