It is generally the case that the more beautiful and richer a young female Is, the more difficultare both her parents and herself in the choice of a has_ band, and the more offers they refuse. The one is too tall, the other too short, this not wealthy enough. Meanwhile, one spring passes after a. nother, and year after year carries away leaf after leaf of the bloom of youth, and opportunity after opportunity. Miss Harriet Se'wood was the richest heiress of her native town ; but she had already comple ted her twenty-seventh year, and beheld almost all her young friends united to men whom she had at one time or another discarded. Harriet be gan to be set down for an old maid. Her parents became really uneasy, and she herself lamented in private a position which is not a natural one, and which those to whom nature and fortune hive been niggardly of their gifts are obliged to submit ; but Harriet, as we have said, was both handsome and very rich. Such wee the state of thincs When her uncle, a wealthy man in the north of England, came on a visit to her parents.. He was a jovial, lively, straight forward man, accustomed to attack all diffi culties boldly and coolly. You we," said her' father to him one day, .IHarriet continues single. The girl is handsome; what she is to have for her fortune, you know; and even in this scandal loving town not a crea ture can breathe the slightest imputation against her, and yet she is getting to be an old maid." True," replied the uncle, o bat look you, bro. Cher, the grand point on every affair in this world is to seize the right moment; this you have not done ;_ it is a misfortune ; but let the girl go along with me, and before the end of three months I will return her to you as the wife of a Mal) as young and as wealthy as herself." Away went- the niece with her uncle. On the way home he thus addressed her:—Mind whet I am going to say. You ore no longer Miss Set wood, but Mrs. Lumley, my niece ; a young, child less, wealthy widow. You had the misfortune to lose your husband, Col. Lumley, after a happy :union of a quarter of a year, by a fall from his horse while hunting. Let me manage, if you please, Mrs. Lumley. Your (other has invested me with full powers Here look you, is the wedding ring given you by your late huSband. Jewels. aid whatever else you need, your aunt will supply you with ; and ae6us tow yourself to cast down your eyes." The keen witted uncle introduced his niece ev ery where, and every where the young widow e:• cited a great sensation. The gentlemen thronged about her, and she soon had the choice of twenty suitors. Her uncle advised her to accept the one that was deepest in love with her, and a rare chance decreed that be should be precisely the most amiable and opulent. The Match was soon concluded, and one day the uncle desired to say a few words to his future nephew in private. My dear sir,' he begun, we have told you an untruth.' , Hens se I Are Mrs. Lumley's affections—' Nothing of the kind; my niece is sincerely at tached to you!' Then her fortune, I soppose, is not equal to what you told me.' On the contrary, it ialarger,' Well, what is the matter then ',ll' • A joke, an innocent joke, which came into my head ono day, when I wet in good humor; we would not-recall it afterwards.

Hence South Carolina has got to devise some new way to earn her bread. After stating these disadvantages, the Putriot very significantly asks— What is to be done? This is the viestion whose solunon is necessary to save South Caro lina from en extensive emigration, if not depopu lation. We have now reached that condition which leaves no alternative between the retention of stubborn habits, with. decreasing prosperity, and . change of occupation, with the prospect of permanent wealth. Well, what is to be done if our favorite pursuit is abandoned The path is plainly marked out for us by Nature. If we fail to follow it : we have nothing to thank but for own apathy and indolence. South Carolina possesses great natural capabilities for Manufacture. It is a melancholy fact that we are far behind the age in a knowledge. of our own resources, slumbering over advantages, which, if properly employed, would make us the most prosperous and indepen dent people in existence. It will be our purpose to show, in a series of essays, that we have ele ments of wealth about and around u., which skil fully combined, Would, lead to the happiest and most productive developments. Tns FREE REPUBLIC.-It was Gen Hamil ton,( if we mistake not) who at a public dinner in Texas, proclaimed, that at last the world should see a Government without those odious things called excise men and custom houses.

SPOTS ON Tag Sur.—Dr. Lardner lectured the other evening, on the Sun and the spots seen upon its disc. His lecture was illustrated by an immense transparency. The curtain rose almost in darkness. The gas lights were nearly extin guished, and the recess of the stage exhibited little else than a mass of dark, artery clouds. Gradu ally they opened and rolled back, and the snr. shone out with almost meridian splendor. Spots upon the sun,. Dr. Lardner said, were immense cavities. Their extent and depth had been accu rately measured, and some of them had been found stx times larger than our earth ! Notwithstand ing their vast dimensions, they bad been known to close up and disappear during two days!! He argued from this that the Sun was not earthly, but some flexible material or a liquid substance. Otherwise, how could such cavities so soon become obliterated, closed up in such a short period of time?—Pkila. Gazette.

THADEB.—A good. trade is worth, a thousand -dollars to any young man. It is worth more than money as an inheritance; for this may' r fail; that never will if he be industrious. We 'think well of those institutions of learning, where the tedium of study is occasionally relieved by employments in some mechanical operations.— These promote the health both of body and mind, and may give the student a trade, which in the event of his not being able to acquire a living by his wits, will still enable him to derive a sure sup port from -prottable labor.

A short time ago a gentleman went into :the coach office, at Utica, and booked himself for residence near Oswego.—ln the coach' office was beautiful girl. The gentleman thought of all per sons in the world, he should like her for a travel ling companion. To his great delight, as the coach drove up to the door. he found she was a passen ger. Upon being asked where aLe would liko to •sit, she said, by this gentlemen,' alluding to our hero. Ho felt much flattered, and thanked heav en that his personal appearance had captivated so charming a female. Smack went the whip, round went the wheel/. The gentleman conversed with the lady, he found her free and easy, and from her agreeable manner felt as if he had known her all his life. Evening closed in upon them. With eveningeame twilight; and very shortly afterwards, darkness. On rumbled the coach, jolting end jerking in a most remarkable manner. It was an act of politeness, doubtless, on the part of the gen tleman, to encircle the waist of his fair companion with his arm, just to keep her free from jolting to which she might otherwise ha subjected: He did this with iome timidity. To his surprise, no ob jection was made to it.—Encouraged by the free dom allowed, as darkness had spread her sable veil over that portion of the earth, on which the coach was rambling, he drew her to hi u, and imprinted a kiss upon her noctarian lips. The coach did not travel very quickly, hut the enamored youth thought it flew, when he found• himself on the following day within a few rods of his uncle's house. He told his fair companion that they must shortly seperate, and became quite poetical upon the occasion. Spike of r here we meet too coon to part,' and made use of many other romantic speeches, expressive of his deep re gret, at being compelled to sever so soon from one who had been as a bright and glorious sunbeam on his earthly pilgricnige; one whose memory would live forever, and a day after, in his bosom. To his exceeding surprise, the young lady de clared he had been so exceedingly kind, that she . could not think of parting with him, and that she would go with him to his uncle's house. He told her that he dare not take such a liberty. That he had been iri,Furope for some years, and that himself a stranger, comparatively, to his uncle, he could not introduce a lady who was a stranger to him and his relation. The lady evinced hys terical symptoms. His arm again encircled her waist ; and their lips again owned a sweet com munion. The coach stopped. The gentleman had arrived et the end'of his journey. He bade the lady farewell. ft was no go. She got out of the coach with him, and followed him to his un cle's house. • He Wft , in a dreadful state of mind.—However pleasant a kiss in the dark was on the previous night, the incumbrance of a petticoat on such an occasion, was anything but satisfactory. He walk ed into the parlor, and, with what he conceived to be unblushing impudence the lady followed him. While he was thinking how he could possibly ex plain the affair, he was welcomed by his uncle, and the young lady was welcomed too, and kissed by all the family. She was his cousin. On his entering the coach office at Utica, and booking his name end the place of his destination, she knew at once that he was her relative, and re solved to have a laugh at hie expense ; and per haps she did when she told her stage coach adven ture; and the fright to which she put her cousin. What liberties they take. The gentleman was laughed at very considerably, but let those laugh who win. Ho won his cousin, and they are now bone of one bone, and flesh of one flesh.
