BE A WOMAN.
Oft I've heard a gentle mother,
As the twilight hours began,
Dcading with a eon, on duly,
Urging him to he a man.
13 lit unto her blue-eyed daughter,
Thnuah with love's word quite aa ready,
Points she out the other dult
"Strive, my dear, to be a lady."
What's a lady 1 Is it something
Made of hoops, and silks and airs,
Used to decorate a parlor,
Like the fancy rug and chairs 1
Is il one that wastes on novels
Every feeling that is human 1
If 'tis this to be a lady,
"J'is not this to be a woman.
Mother, then, unto your daughter
Speak of something higher far,
Than to be mere fashion's lady
Woman" is the brighter star.
If ye, in 5our strong affection,
Urge your sun to be a true man.
Urge your daughter no less strongly
To a rite and be a woman.
Yes, A woman brightest model
Of that high and prrfect beauty.
Where the mind, and soul and body
blend to work out life's great duty.
Be a woman naught is higher
On the gilded list of dime J
On the catalogue of virtue
There's no brighter, holier name.
Be n woman cn to duty,
liaise the world from all that's low,
Place higher in the social heaven
Virtue's fair and radiant bow !
Lend thy influence to each effort
That shall raise our iir-turc human ;
Be not fashion's gilded lady
11c a brave, whole-souled woman.

THE KIN LOCH ESTATE,
AND HOW IT WAS SKTTMCD.
CIJ AFTER XIV.
Mark Davenport was proFperons in all his
undertaking. His position in the school did
not give much scope to his ambition, but the
eulary ho received was ainplo enough to pay
ins expenses, unite: the iluties were not so
onerous as to engross nil his time. All li is
leisure was giveu to liternry pursuits. He
had many times thought be would relinquish
the drudgory of Ir-aching, and Bupport himself
oy ins pun ; but lie remembered the maxim
of Scott, that literature wns a eood BtulF.
hat a poor crutch, and he stuck to his school.
As he grew into a practised writer, he became
contiecled with the staff of a daily newspaper j
ill the great city, furnishing leading articles
when vailed upon, aud ho soon acquired a
position of mQueucQ among his as-oc ate). Ho
had maintained a Correspondence with Mil
dred, aud was lookiiiir lurward to the time
when ho should make a visit to his native
town, hoping then to bo so well establish
ed iu tho world, that he miuht bo able
to bring hor back with him as his bride.
Every thought centred in her. He coveted
fame, weallh, position, only Tor her sake; and
stimulated by this thought, be bad niado ex
ertions that would have bruken down a man
lees vigorous and less rerolete.
He received a letter Irom Innisneld one
ilav, after a long interval.

of evil as the cause of delay. lie broke the

euUfin Lizzie. These were the contents :
"My Dear Mark. 1 suppose you may
have bet-n uuxious before this, at not hearing
from ns ; but the truth is, we hare not had
anything very pleasant to write, aud so have
put oil sending to you. l ather is by no
means well or strong. The lawsuit which is
now likely to go wrong, has troubled bini ve
ry much. Ho has grown thin, bn stuops ai
he uned to. Then Skiuiro Clamp baa com
plained of him before the church, and you
kuow rather is oversensitive about his rela
tions with 'the brethren,' even with those
who are trying to ruin him. He is melancho
ly enough. 1 hop he will be better, if he
gets through his difficulties! otherwise I am
afraid to think of whut may happen.

letter from -Mildred. Don't be surprised
when I toll you that she has left home and is
staying at Mr. Alfoni's. Mrs. Kinloch has
for a long time, wonted her to morry that
hateful Hugh lirunuing, and became so vio
lent about it, that Mildred was afraid of her.
Lucy Kansom, who lived their, ran away a
short time ago, very mysteriously. It seems
that ttie girl bad stolen something Irom the
house, and, nfter Mildred had plumply refus
ed to marry lluj.h, Mrs. Kinloch charged up
on her, that she had induced Lucy to steal
the papers or money, or whatever it was.
Mrs. Kinloch acted so like an insane woman,
that Mildred would not stay iu the bouse, but
ran over to Mr. Alford's, with only the clothes
she wore. She passed by our houso yester
day, and told me this hurriedly. I bave
heard, too, that squire Clamp is about to
marry Mrs. Kiuloch, and that he actually has
procured the license. It's a very strange of-
lair.
"To Gil out the account of disagreeable
things, last evening, in one of the stores,
people were talking of Lucy Hansom's fate,
(as they have been for weeks,) when Will
i-en ton, the cripple, said, 'he guesssd Hugh
Hranoing could tell what bad become, of her,
if he chose.' JIugh.it seems, heard of the
remark, and to day, he weut with a dandyish
doctor, belonging to tho navy, I believe, and
beat the poor cripple wab a borsewbip, most
shamefully, 1 think this violence has turned
suspicion against bim.

to say, except that we all love you as warmly
as ever, and hope to see you soon here. In

if you dou't coma soon, 1 think you will sue

"Uood-bye, dear Mark I

Mark could not restrain liimsrH, bat wept
outright. The gentleman sank right into his
chair, still clasping Mink's hands. Neither
could speuk, but they looked towards each
other an unutterable tenderness.
At length, coulrolling the tide or reeling,
Mr. Hardwick said, "1 don't be cast down,

aud Lizzie."
The girls appeared wiping their eyes, Tor

Were. Mark told of his pursuits and pros

but had reasons for silence.) tho approechins

two heiress from her own home, were all dis
cussed. After a reusonable lime. Mark e2
CU88 'd himself and went to Mr. Alford's pon
dering much on the strange events that had
perplexed the usually quiet village, lie reach
ed the house, after a brief walk, ond was met
by Aa:it Mercy, the portly mistress, but with
something less thau her accustomed cordial
ity. ,
"Miss Kinloch is not nlile to sre computiy,"
sho said, "ond must ho excused."
Murk poured forth a torrent or questions,
to which Mrs. A Moid listened, her broad fea
tures softening visibly and at length, with
an apparent effort, she asked him "to come
aijin tu-tnorror or tho day arter.
The more Mark reflected on Mrs. Alford's
behavior, the more he wos puzzled. Had
Mildred denied him admission ? 1 1 is own be
trothed refused to 6eu bitn 1 No, ho was sure
she was sick j and besides, she could not have
heard of his coining, iio he soothed himself.
But the imps of suspicion and jeulousy still
haunted hiiu at interval, and a more misera
ble man than tho nsutilly buoyant and san
guine Mark, it would be difficult to find.
Tlu next- day, as soon as brcukfae-t was
over, Mark, tliuuh trying to cheer up his un
cle, was secretly longing for the hour when il
would bu proper to preseut himseir at M r. Al
furd's. Hut time does move, albeit with lag
ging poce to a lover, end in due Benson Mark
was on his way. Neur the houso ho met the
i fanner, who greeted him heartily, and wished
, him joy with u knowing smile. Mark took a
freer breath ; if there was ur.y d.flieulty, Mr.
; Alford ceituitily did not knw it. Dot then
it occurred to him, that shy young ladies do
1 not often make confidents of elderly bnj-band-,
men in lung b!uu fucks, and bis Epiiits full
j again.
i Mr. Alford leaner against s Tenco and
. threshed his hands to keep the in warm, while
he told Mark that "he had been with Mil
dred privately out to the l'robute Court,
, that the case had been stntud to the ju !ge,
who allowed, that, as she was above fourteen,
slie hs,i B rjgllt to choose brr own guurdeon,
that he, Alford, was to bo put iu, in place
of tho Squire. and that then, in bis opinion,
i there wuuld be an overhauliu' eo's to hev
; things set to rights."
I Mark shook tho hand of his good friend
! warmly, and commended his shrewdness,
i ."But 'la'nt best to stau' tiilliin' with on ol'
' feller liko me," said the farmer, "when you
van do so much better, .lest look !"
! Mark turned bis bead, and through the
: window of tho house, saw the retruntiiig
I figure of Miidred. He hounded across the
I yard, opened the door without knocking, nod
! rushed into the houso. She had vaiiithcd :
I no nun Has visililo but Mrs. Alford. who was
! cutting up golden pumpkins iu long coils to
dry.
"Come, Milly," said the good woniau,
" 'ta'nt no use j he taw ye."
And Mildred appeared, coming slowly cut
or the buttery.
"Ye see, Mildred felt a littlo hurt about a
letter; but I Xiierc there mis some iMstuke;
so 1 wa'u't a goin' to hev ye go off 'thout
some explanation."
"A letter? explanation ?" said Maik, tho
roughly bewildered.
"Here it is," said Mildred, taking a letter
Troin her pocket, stili looking down.
Mark hastily took and opened it. The en
velope boro Mildred's address, in u hiind not
uiilike his own; the enclosure was a letter
from Mildred to himself, which lie now saw
fur the first time.
"Mildred." said he, holding cut liin hands,
"could you doubt me V
Sho covered her face with her apron, but
stood iire.oluto. He louked again at the
letter.
"Whv, the clumsy trick, Mildred! This
post-ofuce Etatnp, 'New York,' is not genuine.
Just look ! it is a palpable cheat, an imita
tion mude with a pen. The color did not
spread, you see, as ink mixed with oil does.
This letter never left this village. 1 never
saw it before, could not have seen it. Do
you doubt nm now, dear Mildred t"
Even if the evidence had been less con
vincing, the earnest, heartfelt tone, the plead
ing look and gesture, would have satisfied a
much tnoro exacting woman. She sprang
towards her lover, ond flung her arms about
his neck. The pent up feeling of days and
weeks rushed over her like a flood, and tho
presence of Mrs. Alford was forgotten.
Mrs. Alfurd, it would seem, suddenly
thought of something ; for, gathering herself
up, tho walked off as fast as the laws of
gravitation allowed, exclaiming, "There ! 1
never did see! Sech hens 1 Alius a-flyin
into the kitchen. I wonder now. who left
that are door open."
The frightened cackle of the liens, the
rattling of pots and pans by the assiduous
bousewile in tho kitchen, were unheeded bv
tho lovers, "emparadised in one another's
arms." The conversation took too wide a
range and embraced too many trivial details
to be set down here. Ouly this I may soy :
they both believed, (as every enamored couple
believes,) that, though other people might
cherish the properest uffeciion fur each other,
yet do man or woman ever did or could ex
perience such intense and all-pervading emo
tion as dow throbbed in their breasts. in
fact, that they bad been created to exemplify
the passion, which, before, poets had ouly
imagined. Eiinple children I They had ouly

CTIAPTEIl XV.
The last picture was a pleasant relief in s
rather sombre story, therefore wa prefer to
commence a stormier sceue in a new chap
ter. Mark ond Mildred were sitting cozily
by the ample fire-place, not at opposite
corners, von may believe. when there was a
warning ahem! at the door, and the soand of
mi, raapiu on in scrauer." Mr. Alhjrd
entered aud said, "Milly, your step-mother's
mniu cuiuiu up ibe road, la a moment
thera was battle in tba bouse, but before
any preparation could be made, t i.n carriage
was at the gate, and J.Irs. Kinloch, accompa
nied by Squire Clamp, knocked at the door.
"Milly, you go into the kitchen with Mrs.
Alfoid," said the rainier. "I'll attend to
matters for then."
"No, Mr. Alfurd," she answered; "you are
very good, lint I think I'll flay ntidsee them.
Shnn't I. Mark?"
Mrs. Kinloch ond the lawyer entered. Sho
L nil left oil her mourning, tint looked as pale
and thoughtful ns ever. After the common
courtesies, brief and cool, in thit case, Mrs.
Kinloch made known her errand. She had
been grieved that Mildred should havo left
her father's house and remained o k ng with
strangers, nnd she lmd now come to beg her
to return home. Mildred replied, that rhe
had not left home without cause, and that
she had no intention Cif going back at pre
sent. Mrs. Kinloch looked hurt, and said
that this onusnnl conduct, owing portly to
ti e common and wicked prejudice nguinst
step-mothers, had wounded lu r sorely, and
she hoped Mildred would do her tho simple
justice of returning lo a mother who loved
her, and would make every sacrifice fur hr
happiness. Mildicd Said t-lio did not wish to
go over tliH ground ognin ; she thought she
understood the love that had been shown
her ; and she did not desire any Turther sac
rifices, such as she had witnessed. The ro-
quost wns renewed in various forms, but to
no purpose. Then Squire Clamp interposed
with great solemiiitv, savin;:, tlu.t, if she had
furgoitea the respect and affection due to tho
mother who hud fostered her, sho ought to
know that the law had conferred upon him,
ns her guardian, the authority of a fulher,
and ho begged her not to give lit in the pain
of exercising the control which it would be
his boiimlen dely to use.
Mr. Alfurd had been nnensy during this
conversation, nnd broke in at the first pause.
"Well, Squire, I guess you'd best wnit till
'bout next week-a-Thiirsdny afore you try to
use your 'thority. Probata Court sets on
Wednesday, uu' 1 guess that'll 'bout wiud up
your business as guanlecn.
What a magazine of wrath that shot ex
ploded 1 The lawyer was dumb for a moment
but presently ha and Mrs. Kiuloch both
round breath fur their indignntion.
The woman turned Cist upon Mark. "This
is your doing, sir !"
"You do too much honor to my foresight,'
lie replied. "1 am heartily tilnd that my
pood friend here was thoughtful enough utid
ready to interfero for the prottctiun vf a
l'atheile.i girl."
"Insolence !'' rlmntcd the lawyer.
"The impertinent puppy J" chimed in the
woman.
"Come, come 1" said the farmer, "too loud
talkiV "
"Then yon nj hold this girl in her nndntiful
behaviour, do you ?'' asked Mrs. Kinloch.
"You ore omcniiuble to the statues, sir,"
said the Squire.
Mr. milord roso to Ins feet. "Now yoo
might jest as well get iuter yer kerridgo un'
drive back ter town," said be ; "you won't
inuke one o' them hairs o' yourn black or
white, Squire, uot by talkin' all day."
The lawyer settled his wig in a foaming
rage. "Come, Mrs. Clamp," said be, "we
shuil not remain hnro to be insulted. Let
us go ; 1 shall kuow how to protect our pro
perty, our authoiity, aud honor, from the
assault of adventurers and mtddlers."
"I beg your pardon, sir," said Mark, "but
what was the appellation you gave to the
lady just now ? You can cull us what you
like."
"Mrs. Clamp, sir," lie answered, with a
poi teutons emphasis, "Mrs. Clamp, united
to me, sir, this morning, by the Kcverenil
Mr. Hook, in the holy bonds of niHtrinony."
They swept out of the house. Mildred
sunk to her choir ns if stunned. "O God!''
she said, "mi mother and father !"
"Poor gal !" said Mr. Alford, "small com
fort you'll hev in sich parents. Hut chrer
up ; you won't nee. I for friends."
She looked up through hpr tears nt Mark's
manly face, full tio'.v of sympathy, and bletsed
the tanner for his words.
Mr. Alfi id, taking Mnik cside, said, "You
know about Lucy's rnnnin' anay, most likely.

hurried on, lor tho flaunting stylo of her

passers by.
"Good gracious ! you don't say so ! Seen
her yourself ? Now do you go right buck to

'lint my uncle?''
We'll look urter him."
It ras speedily determined, and Mark set
out tho same day. fleuiiwhile, Mildred had
promised to go and see Sir. Hard wick und
endeavor to uuiku him cheerful.
"It beats ail," said Mr. Alford to his wife.
"Now '( ho thuubl find that unfot finite gal !
Wal. wal, I begin to think the Lord does

We leave Squire Clamp und his new wife

Conclusion next wetk
(C3M EPICAL Ql'ACK AMU IMPOSTORS. The
Harrisburg Telegraph has the following in
regard to these adventurers, which is as ap
plicable hero as at Ilurrisburg:
An exchange notices, as a lanientublo fact,
thut people generally are ever reudy to avail
themselves, when sirk, of the advice of quacks
and impostors, aud the remark is peculiaily
applicable to Harrisburg. Itinerant quack
burubiiggery in medicine is perhaps more
prevalent than in any other prulestior. or cul
ling. Persons, wheu sick or diseased, are
reudy and ouxious to try almost anything
they may hear of, that will be likely in the
smallest degree to a fiord them relief. Hence
these multiplied impositions. If people will
consult a physician of known respectability
and standing, one or their own lellow citizens,

There is a town out in the Northwest cull

this point a post oflice has been established ;
the route extends somo distance beyond, ami
thera are several offices further on. Soon
after tho establishment of ihe office at Barton
the postmaster beyond begun to be troubled
by a strange irregularity iu the mails. This
week one thing would be missing; the next
some other puckuge would bn no'i et, aud
quite oftcu letters Tor B. would have to be

ui endurable ; and Agent Hall was sent to in
vestigate the matter. He went straight to
Barton, where be found tho post office in the
back room of a little grocery, it was about
time for the mail to arrive, and ho took a
seal in tho grocery where a plump and good
natured woman well in years, and possessed of
a ' rich brogue," attended behind the counter
dealing out small quantities of beer, cheese,
cakes, peanuts etc., to a company of louugeii
who teemed to wail ror some event.
Soon thu stage drove up, the mail bag was
thrown oi.t, tba lady picked it up and retro it.

including Hall, who blocked up the door.
After opening the bag aud turning its con
tents on tlie floor, the post-mistress produced
a box, an J dulilerately proceeded to measuro
oct a peck of miscellaneous matter from
i ho pile on tho floor. Having done this, she
commenced returning '.be rest, when Hall
found his tongue.
" by, what are you doing there ? be con
trived lo stammer out.
"indade," said the post mistress, looked
up, "it cliangiug the tnu.l that 1 am."
"But how do you kuow that you get the
