Old Wlay.
In Paris their lived a widow, who, although she.
was no longer young, had every inclination to be
thought so. and possessed beauty enough to second
her petitions. She had a daughterabout the age of
fifteen, wham she thought it prudent to keep in re
tirement, because she feared, and not withont reason,.!
that the girls budding beauty might depti‘e her of
some of the conquests which she meditated. As it
happens in Such cases, her'precaution tarried out to
be useless. Every sun that rase diminished her
charms in the same proportion as those of her daugh
ter increased; and .although Madam de Wane'
might have overlooked, or at least pardoned this, yet
when she found 'Os she did afterivard4 that her
daughter's modesty
, and elegance•of manners were
so perfect and irresistible, that they had. Captivated
the affections of the ohl lady's most affectionate lov
er—and this,' toe, in spite of the rouge and patches
she bad employed to retain hirahetenger knew no
bounds. The chevalier, knowing nitla whom he
had to deal, conducted his proceedings with so much
finesse, and tio corapletely concealed his passion for
the daughter, that her coquettish; mother still contin
ued to herself the sole object of his affection
ate attention,. -The y.trog - girl, however, knew bet-
ter, and was not slow in perceiving that her charms
had made an impression on the heart cline mother's
admirer. She was naturally enough flattered by his
attentions; and with quit 'vanity, (if it *serves so
Jutish a.name) ivhtch belongs to • her aexiiveheneier
she expected the chevalier, she took more pains with'
her toilet than before; her hair Vila arranged, end
her dress put on with a taste :thatitatly increased
her natural attractions. Her char goon became
talked of,-and she grew the object of univ+sal awn
lion, to her mother's great disquiet.
The chevalier whose name has been mentioned,
was called Pastouid, and seeing the attractions of
his mistress, he naturally enough 'feared (that• some
rival might present himself; to obviate which, he
made a declaration of his passion to the person by
whom it had been inspired. Nichon , ((or so the
young lady was called) felt so much confusid and
plesso with this her first conquest, that she did not
observe her mother who entered the room at the
time. The anger of the matron was beyond cameo!.
In the gieatest rage she asked Pastourd if he visited
her house to insult her , daughter. Pestnunl was a
little confused, but like is man who knew 'the world,

overwhelmed with grief, and took to his bed, refus

givenwas a fellow of great readiness; most abominable
Impudence; and very 'much attached to his master;
who, in consequence 'of Combiac's good qualities
And former services, bad permitted him to great fa
miliarity. Seeing his master so much dejected, he
anxiously inqUired the cause. The chevalier told
him all that had passed.
'ls that alt?' said Combiac, with the greatest
calmnels. • Don't disturb yourself I pray. You shall
be happy in less then ; a - month. Upon the faith of
your valet, who has ',reputation to ,lose, I shall ob.
taro Nichon's hand, and that with her mother's con

her character. I will obtain admission into her house
in the . tharacter of " nobleman ;--nothing is more
easy than to imitate the manners of a fine gentlema%
well enough at least to impose on an old xo4uette ;
and you shall see how well Pit bring matters about.'
Little persuasion was pecessa7 to induce the
chevalier to accede to this proposition. Combiac
dressed himself comfotmably tt his new character,
hired two footmen Of his own acquaintance, dressed
them in magnificent liveries, and took a house in the
same street With the widow, who was in the habit
of paSsing a great part of the day at her window,
- dressed like a May day' ueen. Combiac, whose first
object wail to obtain a footing in her house, Constantly
looked at her in the most languishing.,and. amorous
manner; and he.even went one day to the church
she frequented, to get an opportunity of speaking to

Nichon, who putt wholly a different construction

COAL•AND IRON.
From a CorreBpcndent in. Yirginia.•
The prteent prostrate condition of the coal trade
induces me to write you. My own tmpr.ssion is,
That there is - no corrective, cxeept in the-prohibition
of foreign coal and iron ; at least, alters give.squan
thy: The quantities of these articles imported is an- nually increasing. The dumber 'of. operating col
lieries in this state is redact.' more than half, end
wany of those with diminished force - and increased
expense. You are aware how heavily the iron Man
ufactories drag on. la not the interest of these two
identical ''l Is it nut the evident Policy of British
capitalists to suppress both. with, a view to the ulti
mate monopoly of at least the iron, if not the coal
trade. Is tut the iron interest dells:intent upon the
coal I Let the iron inastete continue. to patronise
Pictou and Sidney coal, and thereby prostrate the
-Amencancollieriea, which they are fiat doing, how
long will it be before coal will be at a rate that will
bring foreign iron incompetition with our own, et
rate equivalent to a prehibitiun of sales
-by the, domes

Will any man believe that the Nova Scotia collieries
will supply this country at the low' rates they aro
now doing I Depend upon it, they are rider !using
money with the intention of driving us frem the rttr.
ket; and supplying our own people with the very ar
ticks of which we have the greatest abundance.
'Why is it that they are now sending Nusunties of
coal, mot only to Baltimore, Aleiandria. and the city
of Washington ; but even toNorfolk acid Fredericks
burg, at lower prices than we can id riiiatis it I And I
expect to see Nova Scotia coal ofterid' in the Rich

Richmond collier can therm afford it, -
We are willing to sell cargo coal at-123 cents on

partMent, sworn to by the shipper and importer, the

How is it then that they can send it to our very doors
and sell it rar less than we can?. They must pay some
