THE SOUTH CAROLINA BELLE ; OR, Who Lost th9 Wager. CIIAl'TKP. I. My uncle Xed had set his heart npon mnr tying me to my cousin I'osulie j but the thing savored of compulsion to me, and I made up my mind to be just as obstinate as the nature of the case might demand. 1 confess to being a little sentimental. I have rend heaps of novels in my day, from the Children of the Abbey down to Bleak House, und the thought of having my uncle pick out my wife for me was tolerable repugnant to my ideas of propriety und the rights of man. Undo Ned was a jolly old fellow, and ! laughed in my face, when I told him 1 could not think of srcli u thing us permitting him j to select my wile for mo. 1 looked dijir.ilied and 1 felt dignified ; and 1 was not a little j mot -tided when the old fellow haw-hawed right j in my face. j "lint, my boy, she is ns rich ns mud with I an income of eight thousand dollars u veur," said he. "Think of that." j "My dear uncle, I beg you will deem me above mercenary motives in ro important a ) matter us this," I replied, with u seriousness in keeping with the toleumily of the topic uiicussed. I "Perhaps you don't mean to take a wife j die an old "bachelor eh!" continued lie, punching me under the short ribs us he pour ed out utipther of his abominable "iruflaws." "Not so; on the contrary. I meun to take a wife just us soon us 1 can lilid ono exactly suited to my mind." "And you don't mean to marry a girl thut nas goi any money . "That is perfectly immaterial, sir, ns vou re that iny fortune is ninply sullici'eiit are aware thut my without the addition of a wife's dowrv "lint tho money wouldu't do any harm, would it?" r "No. I should not object to a lady who pos ! sessed the requisite qualifications, because she happened to have a fortune at her disposal, j though in my estimation it would add nothing 10 uer illness to iiecome my wile. "Indeed !" drawled Uncle Ned. looking tit me with such a funny expression thut 1 could not tell whether he was going to laugh or get mud. I didn't cure much, for 1 deemed it beneivth his digni'y to attempt un interference in such a delicate matter." "Hut. Hob, Hosiilie 1s tho most beautiful girl in South Carolina. There uro thousands ,.r , ,,..,, ....... i.. i- .1... r,... t f..,.,,i;.. .., . i... s , , b u j u b . . , ''i'hej' can do to, sir. I tell you plainly she can never be my .wife, if she were a peurl and had all South Carolina for her dowry," said J, with dignified earnestness. "Whew?" "Your sneers will bo as useless as your persuasions, they shall not move me." "Hut, Hob, you know her father earnestly desired that you should be married, before he died." added the uncle, more seriously. - "It mutters not, sir; 1 must bo entirely un embarrassed in the choice of a wile. Let me tell you plainly, that, even if I hud nu other objection, the mere fact that you have at tempted to draw mu into this niarriage were a sulncieut reason lor me to lieelinu it. Kh ! you young puppy, what do you mean by thut ?" Just exactly what I say, viz; that J will neither be led or driven into marriage with Hosulie. I think we have said enough r.buut it." I lint begun to talk a little coolly. He was, in my opinion. Ireudjiig upon the prerog. utive of u freebi.rn citizen. What did the old fogy liieun ! Iid he think hadn't sense enough to choose my ou wife 1 Hosulie was entirely out of the ques tion I could not. on p.inciplt!, be driven into a matrimonial connection, even though the other purty was an angel and had a dowry of oiyni. iiuiiisuiii a year. air. uuu. listen to reason. Hosnlie is hundsome , and gruceful, and all that sort of mint i siogs lko a nigulingulu, pijy. lue piano and harp, and cau talk French like a rarisiunne." "It matters not. sir; I object to the prin ciple of the thing, and 1 repeat, I cuuuot aud will not marry her." . "Bob, yr u ure a fool !" . "Am 11" . . "Pod my word yon are j you don't know which side your bread is buttered." "Enough, sir !" "Hut, Hob, you will pay us thut visit won't you V "Certainly f but do out flatter yourself I hall make love to Bosalia. . I shall go pre pared to shun her ; yes, to be even uncivil to ter. If I am, blame yourself for your impu. dent interference in my conwrtis. -, "Saucy puppy !" ond my uncle laughed. Wo woro on the most fumiliar terms. "You ore a meddler ; you make nio saucy. I trust I Bhall always be prompt in presenting any invasion of my natural rights." - "llopo you will, my boy; but I will bet you a thousand dollars you marry Kosalie." "Done 1" "Hut on one condition." "What 7" "That you come to my estate in South Carolina with a susceptible heart that you are not engaged to another." "I accept the condition, enid 1 grasping his hand ; "uncle, you have lost the bet." "Not yet, Hob ; wait a bit." It was rather foolish in the old fellow to make such a silly bet ; but I was sure I could resist the attractions of my c.v.isin even though she should prove to be a Venus, that I considered tho money nlreudy mine, and what was far better, that I hud won the vic tory over him. Thut night Uncle Ned started for his plan. tatiou in South Carolina. CHAPTER II. My father died three years before this con versation, leaving me an ample fortune. His two brothers had been in Mmth Carolina for thirty years, where the father of ltosalie died, leaving my Uncle Ned he" guardian. 1 hud uilcn lieen tokl Hint Kosalie was a very pretty girl ; but she hud been to tho Aorth only once, ana then l was traveling in Europe, so 1 had never seen her. 1 liuil written to I ncle Neil promising to spend a month with him in the autumn. Business had called him to Boston, where our interview occurred, lie had moro thnn once expressed a desire that his brother's property should remain in the fatullv, and prosed me to unite mv fate to that of Ids beautiful niece. This was out of the question. "A made-up mntch" was my abomination. Certainly 1 had no other reasons fur my violent prejudice against the marriage. I considered it a sa cred obligation to full in love before I took a wife, und the idea of being pledged to Hosulie before 1 had teen hor myself was so absurd j that I had no patience to think of it. And then I had a principle for my guidance j in affairs of the heart, which nusolutoly for bade me to think of snch a thing as a "mar riace for convenience.'' The autumn cumu and I paid my proposed visit to Uncle Ned's plantation in South Carolina. 1 was disappointed in my cousin Kcalie. Sho was n tolerable good looking damsel, but in my opinion very far front being like the beautiful creature she hud been pictured to me. "Isn't sho handsome. Hob ?" said niv uncle. "Hid you ever sec such lips, such a liead of hair, such eyes, such u graceful furm ? Isn't she handsome, eh, you dog'" And the old fellow punched me in the ribs and roured with laughter till he nearly split his sides. 1 couldn't for tho life of mo teo -what lie was laughing at. "Isn't tho beautiful, you rogue?-' he con tinued. ' l:s?abk," I rp,:;, d wry coldly. "Passable! You puppy! What, do you mean to s;iy Kosaiie is m l handsome?'' "Tolerably," I answered, twisting off the lear of a ludmetlo, which grew by the side of the bench on which we were seated, jiut to show him how indilierent 1 vas. "Ilb." said lie, looking more soberly. "I had an idea that you were n man of taste, but I see you uru us likely to Hill in love with one of my black wont-he as villi the prettiest gin in ouili i. aroliua. "Who's that. Uncle Ned?" This remark was called forth by the sudden tippearance on tiic gravel walk of the loveli es! creature I ever beheld, and that, coinidf r ing 1 have Hilled lwth the belles of Paris, Naples and Home, is saying a great deal. I was confounded by the sudden apparition, and springing from my seat as if an i-h-ctiie shock had routed the slumbering blood in my veins, l htooil bolt upright betnrv her. Shades of Venus! did nnv ono ever see such loveliness ? such a graceful movement ! such a divine expression ! I coulil neither speak nor move, so com pletely was 1 paralyzed by the elorious beauty of tho nymph. J Unln t know there was tiny one hero" stammered she, with such u delectable blush ou her cheek thut I nearly went mad with enthusiasm. Before 1 could recall in v scattered senses the beauty bounded uway usliihilyns u fawn. " hat the oevil ails ou, Hob? hat uro you staring utl" said Um ie Ned. "W ho is she I u.-ked 1, clasping my hands in the rapturous excitement of tho moment. "That I Why that's liltlu Sylphie Howard one of Hosalio's friends, who is spending a few weeks with her." he replied ind fl'ereutly. "Beautiful !" said 1. "the! Pussublol" "She is divine !" "Tolerable good looking, but she is nothing to be compared to my Hosalie." 1 was about to say something snucy ; but I thought sincu Uncle Ned really believed what he said, 1 would not hurt his feelings bv denving it. At dinner I met both ladies, und was for mally in trod tided to "little Sylphie Howard." 1 was iirovoked with mv uncle when he as signed inn u seat next 'to Hosalie. 1 could hardly be civil to her. with such a pair of beui:tiiul eyes before nip, and I hardly ceased to ga.o upon Sylphie during thu hour wo spent at the table. Alter dinner we went out to rule on horse back. Uncle Ned annoyed mo again by con triving it so thut I could help Ilos die mount her horse, and ride by her side, and he, tho provoking old fool did the.-o offices or gal lantry fur Sylphie. "No tine, rid chap, von shall lose your bet." thought I, aud I tried to be civil to my cousin. I don't think I succeeded very well. I am very sure I did not fall in love with her. ' Mv eyes rested all the time upon the fair und gruci'lul horsewoman who rode belore me. And thus it was for a week. Uncle Ned managed to keep me by tho side of Hosulie nearly ul! the time. If ive played whist she was my partner; if we rode in the carriage she sat by my side ; if we walked, he monopo lized hylplua ami lelt Ifosulie to ine uuu more thun once the old fellow left us alone together us though he thought I was all rea dy to pop the question, und baud him over the thousand. But I was discreet. I gve her a wide berth, and sighed for the love of the beautiful Wyljihie Howard. 1 wua head over heels in lovewould have eloped with her in a mo ment, if she would have consented. In spite of n.y uncle's violence, however, I round opportunities to flirt a little with SU phie. and one day I lured her iuto a grovo of palmettos lu the reur of the muiision house Timo was precious. 1 was the hero of a novel. Cruel uncles in bobtail wijrs sought to crush out the ofle.ctions of my heart, lu short I threw myself at her feet, and with all tbe eloquence that Harvard College bad been able to crowd iuto bit composition, I dvclg. rodmylovo.' I used classic terms, I quoted Milton, Byron and Shakespeare, and called on all the gods in tho calender of Greece and Home. Hid sho accept me ? Of courso she did ; sho couldn't help accepting nio I am not an ill-looking fellow, let m say, in extenuation of her weakness, and 1 had popped tho ques tion in a decidedly original manner. To be sum sho accepted mo. I printed twenty-four kisses on each other lirelty cheeks, und sho blushed till I thought her eye-lashes would take firo and cheat me of my irize. We kept our counsel for two or three weeks, und ono morning, when we were riding out, we got away from Uncle Ned and Hosalie anil clipped it nwny aoout ten miles to u cler pymnn. who was so obliging us to supply us with irmiirringo certificate. We rode buck more leisurely. I wa in my element. An elopement wus just tho kind of excitement to suit me. Wo got back to Undo Ned's about dinner time. "Where have vou been ?" nskod Uiiclo Ned. "Over to Rev. Mr. . Allow me to present my wife," said I with perfect nouchu lance. "Tho devil." "Just so; und Undo Ned, you have lost tho wager. Ono thousand if you please," said I, holding out my hand. "No you don't you puppy." "Fairly won." "Is it "Rosalie?" said ho turning to my wife. "Eh, what do you mean, Sylphie ?" "Ha, ha, !ia." roared Uncle" Ned. ' I didn't know what to make of the affair at all. "You have lost. Bob." cried the jolly old fellow as soon as ho could speuk. "No !" "Pact, Bob," said ho pointing to her I had hitherto known ns mv cousin, "this is Svlphie Howard." "You have cheated me, then." "I have cheated yon into the handsomest wife, and the biggest fortune in South Caro lina. Tho fact is. Bob, you were prejudiced ngiinst Kosalie. You came here resolved to be uncivil to her. I determined to give her n fair chance, though I had to tease the jade into compliance. You uro.cangltt." "Not quite. Uncle Ned, this is not n legal marriage. Hosalio was married to me under a fictitious name." "I don't cure o straw for that. You mar ried the lady you held by tho h ind. But, Bob, we will have it over again. Lo yon snv so, you dog ?'' Of courso 1 did say so. I would not have lost my divinity for nil tho treasure in South Carolina. 1 paid over tho money und Uncle Ned gave it to tho free schools of his Mate. A few weeks after we were rc-murriod and I returned to the North with my Hosalie, the most beautiful and the most loving wife that ever lightened the destiny of a wayward fellow like myself. wii.it is a l!Ll s:t- What is a Mush ? It is an act of li.e hoai t in its extreme ramifications, the capillaries. The-a; small vessels become di-tendedand fill with blood, nad the face nnd the n-ck Income rod with the increased quantity of the vital llnid seen through the transparent s'.jin. What occasions this? An emotion of ti t brain, you say. Tho eye of the modest young woman sees the form, or her ears hear the voice of some interesting youth w ho is ap proaching or close at hund.'und her mother or her an nt gives her a wink, and In r young fe male friend gives her u humorous caution, und behold in a moment her face tlu-he:., nnd perhaps she even runs away to hide her emo tion, and the young man imagines he is avoid ed. It was the brain that did it all. was it? Truly, without a brain she could nut have been so ull'ected, but neither w ould she have been su affected without eyes or cars. And yet no ono avers that the "eyes and the ears arc the seats of emotion. The direct agent is Hushing in the blootl, and the blood is the heart the liquid of the heart, ns all tho blood-vessels uro merely its branches arti its twigs. The heart ulso palpitates with emo tion tho pulse is ull'ected directly by our feelings. The heart even bursts w'ilh grief in tho Hood rushes forcibly back upon it under thu inHuetco of excitement. Fear exhibits itself in paleness, or dfficieiicy of blm.d in the capillaries ; rage exhibits itself in redness or a rushing of agitated blood into tlieui. In extreme cases it umouuts cveu to blackness. Thu veins ami the arteries swell or shrink with emotion ; the pulee tells tho condition of the body us well us of the mind. A fever ed body nnd u fevered mind will both quicken it ; ut.d tranquillity is exhibited ill the slow and the regular beat of the pendulum ol life. It is u mysterious relationship that subsists between the feelings and tho blood ; but it is quite as intelligible as that which subsists between the feelings nud the brain, und iio phrenological science will ever falsify thu direct und instantaneous exhibition of the feelings, the emotions, uud ti e passions in the heurt. For this heart, be it remem bered, is omnipresent in the body. There is not a spot where it is nut. It has its centre in the chest, but its centre only ; the arteries and the veins are us much a part of the heart ns the brandies ore of u tree, und they pus sess ull its clasping properties. Jt therefore fills the body ond the brain ulso, nud is tho mysterious well-source of thut life which is independent of our will, nnd therefore con trols nud masters us, us pulsions ull uatu?!tly do. Tiik Making of a Goon Wife. When you see a young woman who rises eurly, sets the table and prepares her father's breakfast cheerfully, depend npon it she will make u good wile, you may rely upon it that she possesses a good disposition and kind heart. When you see a young woman just out of hrt nt nine o'clock, with herelbow upon the table, gasping and sighing "I Hi how dreadfully 1 fed," i'-lv npon it, she will not make a good wife Sim must bo lazy and mopich. When you see a girl with u broom in her hand sw m i nig t!f door, with a rubbing board or ehitl-es' line in her hand, you may nut it down that h is industrious, und will make u good wife for somebody. When you see a girl with a novel in ono hand and a fun in her other, shedding tears, you may be sure that sho is unlit for r, wife. Happiness uud misery are before you, which will you choose ? A Fi.ofmsHiNU Skct. About forty years ago, a few members of the Church of England seceeded from that establishment, in Austra lia, calling themselves "Bible Christians." They now number in thut colony, 17,000 members, and possess 600 chapels, capable of holdiu; 150,000 worshippers. Pkath uy LiGUTMe. Ou Monday last, Joieph Westlake. the sou of a widow, was struck by a ilmdj of lightaing aud instantly killed, while planting corn, near FtaiiLUn, Ohio. ATI UTEIirSTISO ISI IDEST. A native of Sweden, residing in tho south of Prance, had occasion to go from onu port to another iit tho Baltic Sea. When ho came to tho place whence lie expected to sail, tho vessel was gone. On enquiring, ho found a fishing boat going the same wav, in which he embarked. After beinir some timo out to sen the men observed that ho hud several trunks and chests on board, concluded that he must bo very rich, nnd therefore agreed among themselves to threw him overboard. Ihishe heard them express, which gnvo him groat uneasiness. However, ho took occasion to open one of his trunks, which contained some books. Observing this, they said among them selves unit it wus nor worth while to throw him into the sea, us they did not want nny books, which they supposed wis all the trunk contained. They asked him if ho, was a preacher. Hardly knowing what reply to make, he told them he was ; tit which they seemed much pleased, and said tb"' would have a sermon on the next day, tw it" wus the Sabbath. This increased the anxiety and distress of his mind, for he knew himself to be as incapa ble of such un ondertnkiiig ns it was. possible fur any ouo to be, ns he knew very little of the scriptures ; neither did he believe iu the in spiration of tho Bible. ji iengtn they enmo to a small rocky is land, perhaps a quarter of a mile in circum ference, where w as a company of pirates, w ho had chosen this little sequestered spot to de pi sit their treasures, lie was taken toacave, arid introduced to an old woman, to whom they rennsrked that they were to have n ser mon preached tho next day. Sho said she wus very glud of it, for she had not heard the word of God for a great while. His was a trying case, fur preach ho must, still he knew nothing about preaching. If he refused, or undertook to preach und did not please, he expected it would bo his death. ith these thoughts ho passed a sleepless night. Iu the morning his mind was not settled on any thing. To call upon God whom he believed to bo inaccessible, was altogether vain. He could devise no way whereby he might be saved. He walked to and fro, still bhut up iu darkness, striving to collect something to say to them, but could not thiuk of even a sinele sentence. When tiie appointed time for tho preach-j ing arrived, he entered the cave, where he found the men assembled. There was n scut j prepared for him. nnd a table with a Bible on it. They tut for the space of half nn hour in j profound silence ; and even then the anguish of his soul was a; great us human nature was j capable of enduring. At length tho words! c.nne to his mind "Verily, there is a reward for the righteous ; verily, there is n God that I judgeth in the earth." He arose and deliver ed them : then other words presented them selves, and so on until his understanding be c'ime opened his heart enlarged astonishing to hinifelf. Ho spoke upon subjects suited to their condition ; the rewards of tho right eous the judgments of the wicked the ne cessity of repentance, and the importance of ft change of life. The matchless love of God t the children of men, had such a powerful eliect upon the minds of the wretched beings, that they Were un ited iiito bars. Nor was he les tt'lonished lit the linhoiiuiiid go.-.dness of the Almighty (.'od, in thus ind rpo.-iug t.i save Itii sniriluu! a-- well as natural life, and veil nielli he exdaiin "This is the Lord's doings, uud marvelous in onr eyes." Under a deep -eii-e i f God's goodness, lus heart be came filled with such thankfulness that it wus 1 out of his power to express. What n.arve-' Ions change was thus brought uboul by divine I interposition! He who a little before" disbe lieved in communion with God uud the soul, becutne ns huuiUe as u little child. And they who Were so lately meditating on his death, now ure filled wilii love uud good w ill towards each other, particularly towards him; mani festing uli'eclioiute kindness, uud willing to render him nil the assistance in their power. The next morning they fitted out ono of their vessels und conveyed him where he de sired. Promt hut time he became a changed man. Prom sentiments of infidelity he be. came ti siiiiere believer in the power and effi cacy of the truth us it is in Jesus. A FR1M II H OMAV.
