Scarcely bad he recovered from his amaze ment, when another knbck at his door roused him a third time from his sofa. This visitor was a lady, closely! veiled, who, after closing the,door, fastened it nm the inside; then, with a slidden rush forward; knelt at Albert’s feet. . “Good gracious, .madam !

These thoughts,'floating through hisbrain, gave him, unconsciously, a mdreereH wiringe, and cast’their shadow of pride on. his • handsome face. He took his place, in the barouche with the air of a youthful monarch. , , The doorway of the tavern was crowded, the street lined with people, and one glance showed the lad that the mayor’s barouche led a long procession of carriages. A militia company ■were in advance, and, ns they started, the band struck,up “ God save, the Queen !” , “ I trust,” saidJMr. Gordon, “ that you will excuse the informality of our welcome. Had your coming been announced, Pennytown would have vied with her sister towns and cities to make your welcome as it should be ; but we have had but th ree hours for preparation since the neWs,of your arrival set the town on fire, and the sincerity and cordiality' of our welcome must make amends for’its informality, Wo are now passing our new court star oft Penn vtown.” A fine building,” said Albert, examining a critical air. V Doubtless you have seen finer ones in your travels, but we are not ashamed of it. No, sir, we are not ashamed of our court house I” Three mortal hours were gasped in driving through the town before the hungry, tired lad was permitted to rest and dine. When he returned to she tavern, he found Azelia had departed, carrying with her one of his shirt'collars and his only pairof kid gloves. Dinner consoled him for the loss, and a sump tuous repast it was ! The landlord had not wasted the precious time gained by that ride, but prepared such numerous dishes that the lad was fairly bewildered which to choose. Dinner over, clean linen donned, and a pair of white kids purchased hv the landlord, at bis guest’s expense and Mr. Mason’s carriage was announced. f Arrived at the magistrate’s bouse, Albert found it a large some mansion ; he bad only time to notice that the first and second floors were one blaze of light, when the elderly gen tleman who bad welcomed him, in the morning came out to repeat his welcome to his own house. First escorting him to the dressing room, he 1 inquired anxiously if his ride had over-fatigued him. Fun was strongly developed in the hoy’s composition, and, having once fallen into the course of this amusing error, he was heartily willing to carry it through. “Mr. Mason,” he said, pompously, “the en thusiastic reeepfion given me by your fellow townsmen makes me forget fatigue. Mv ride through cheering multitudes of—of—Penny townians will be one of the most pleasant rem iniscences of mvlife? Ahem!” “ Will you take my arm to the drawing room ?” “Lead on, sir; I follow.” The drawing-room wascrowded. Two young ladies in white stood on each side of the door, and as Albert entered they threw before him the contents of four small baskets of flowers. Another lady at the Piano struck up “ Wel come, royal Charlie !” and all the guests united in" a loud cheer. ■ Albert bowed gracefully, and then advanced to greet the hostess, a short, fat lady, attired in crimson satin, with pink rqses in her cap. “ Mrs. Mason, allow me tp present to you the illustrious guest now honoring Pennytown by his august presence." “ Madam, I salute you,” said Albert, raising Mrs.' Mason’s hand to his lips. “La! how pretty!” said that lady,“ good naturedly, “ these are ray gals, pr—sir !” The four young ladies who had made the flo ral offering now advnnced.and were introduced as Leonora Beatrice M.-ison Septima Augusta Mason, Caiantha Arabella Mason, and llono na Antoinette Mason. TleUe introductions over, Mr. Mason took Albert’s arm and introduced him to each and every one of his numerous guests as the iliu trious stranger li.-itiog Pennytown. Not till he had spoken to all was the boy permitted to sit down.. Who was he? Sometimes he thought lie was'mistaken for one person,'sometimes for an other, hut the important way in which the in bibitants of Pennytown inflamed him that they respected bis sisjret baffled all bis attempts to penetrate his secret. - Mrs. Mason came to his side as soon as he wis seated. , “ Fathtjr says you slipped away from your folks,” she sail!: “ain't you afraid they'll be woir.ed?” •‘1 -hall rejoin them soon.” said the lad, now more h-wikiered than ever. . , “il- said,” continued the old lady, “that you were here in —iu something—” “ InciH/nlto .’’’ “ That’s it; and if the prdeussion wasn’t Bitislfactory that he should make an epilogue for it on account of the breviary of time they had (for deranging it.” “ He is very kind I”. “ Ah, here comes Miss Hodge. You oughter know her!” Albert ilo’oked up. Azelia. in a sky blue dress, with an alarming display of scraggy arms and shoulders, met his gain. She put her finger oh her lip, as she-Cji light his eve, and, then advanced. Mrs. Mason introduced her: " Jane, !my dear, this is the gentleman Mr. Mison tobi you about, the man from—” “ I know! Let me salute him.’’ And the till|inaidi*n fur llic third time knelt to kiss Al bert’s band. ".Scion, of an illustrious race, receive my homage!” “ Maiden,” said Albert, ready to choke with suppressed laughter, “ aHse.” “J s’pose,” said a drawling voice behind the lad, *‘yoti think you’re some, don’t you “Sir?” said Albert, turning to confront a tall,! rather handsome young man. - " I say I s’pose you think human nntur djin’t produce your matefi. You needn’t fire up; I ain’t n-going to na|e a row ; but this is a free country, and while you’re in it you ain’t no better tl.ap the rest of us.” t ■ 1 , v ‘Mr Rcdhank,” said Mr. Mason, “ do not let your demooratin notions destroy the har mony of the evening. 1 beg, sir,” be added. tUrtting.tO - ' Albert, - “,you..will not heed him. Not’,V-and he.raieed bis for your power, orvank; or birth do w'e welcome you here, but as a roan and a brother.” , “Pa, may we dance ?” 'cried Ciilanthe Ara bella Mason. I “Will you permitit?” said the/host to Al bert, . ' ' - ■ j i “ Certainly, Miss Leonora Antoinette—” “ Ciilanthe Arabella—Bella in the bosom of her family,” said Mr. Mason. “ Miss Bella, will you allow me ths pleasure of waltzing with you!” ; “To 1 he 1” giggled the 'yonngj lady. “ I wasn’t hintin' 1” j A waltz being played by the [young lady still at the piano, Albert put his arm around Bella and led off. After a few; rounds, he stopped, as no one joined in the (amusement, but all stood gazing upon his movements. “ Pray, Mr. Mason, form some (quadrilles,” he said, annoyqd to find the homage he excited so icry openly expressed. - “ Your wish is law,” was ’’the host’s reply. And quadrilles were formed. * A pretty little blonde, Miss Gray, was Al bert’s next choice for a partner j; but so over powered was the young lady by the honor of dpneing with him, that she was litbrally struck dumb; not a word but whispered monosylla bles could he extract frqm her. After dancing with each of the host’s daugh ters and the prettiest girls in the rooip, the lad went to the open window looking upon the gar den, and stood there, heartily tired of being a lion. Ilis respite was a short One. Azelia came to his side; holding out to him a folded paper she said— ! i “in the solitude of your own chamber, pe ruse the tribute genius offers to her country’s guest.” Albert took the paper, i “ Let mo now—” I “ Nay, spare my blushes. Bead it in privacy. Hush ! -we are observed.” ( As every one in the ronm was 'staring di rectly at them, Albert thought this tbe must sensible speech be hat}, heiard from ■ Azeliale lips, and said, “ It Is quite likely we are.” At midnight, the militia (company came to Mr. Mason’s house, and his illustrious guest was escorted to the Red Lion, tiding in tbe Mayor’s barouche, and guarded by a double file of soldiers. ■ * Another surprise awaited bim here. Instead of being ushered info his former apartments, he was shown to a communicating bedroom and parlor on tbe first floor, radiant with new carpets, curtains, and furniture. The bed was hung with sky-blue, the curtains were red, the carpet green, the furniture covered toth ye low, and the effect of the whole may (be more easily imagined than described! “ I'trust,” said the landlord bowing Albeit into the mom, “your ma—l mean your—your —you will excuse the deficiencies here; but I have had the best workmen in Pennytown hers since this morning, and I trust the result is s itisfactory to your—ahem 1 to you.” “ Quite satisfactory ! You may leave nf|. Mr. Mason,” turning to that gentleman, wb) had accompanied him to bis room “pardon ihe question ; -but may I ask bow you discov ered who I am ?" “ Certainly! I was in the next room wheii you took leave of your friend, and I afterwards examined the register, and found the nam'e.— You must have thought us very much behind the age to suppose your name unknown here. We see the papers and since they enabled me to recognize you. I certainly consider the time spent over them as usefully employed.” “ So my name was not unknown to you ?” “ IVe were fully aware that you were to travel here under the same name which you used when id the Continent.” A light broke in upon the lad’s mind, but,he took leave of the gentleman courteously.and kept his countenance until fairly within his gay bedroom. Once there, with the door locked, he gave way to a boisterous fit of irferrinient. Then, drawing Azelia’s paper from his pocket he read ; TO ALBERT EDWARD BEXFKKW, PRINCE OP WALES. 0, mostaugust Prince of Wales! From my azure eves the scales Of American prejudice Have lalten into an abyss. ■ ■ • No grim tyrant gieets my now •When I gaze on thee, Henfiovv, I see a man of glorious mein, v 1 TliCaboh of England’s mighty Queen, Magnanimous, August.

A voice from the porch under hia window made lt was his landlord. “ Pshaw 1” he said, “ I tell you it will bo the best piece of work I ever did. First, I’ll charge him ten dollars a day for his board ; then there is the furniture in bis room, that’s two hundred dollars; then the porterage of his portmanteau, and other little extras. Ah! trust me, I’ll run it up to five hundred dollars easily, and he can’t object to paying it, as he’s a prince.” “ Yod are sure he is a prince 1” “ Oh, positive! Mr. Jlason heard him talking about the old folks, clearly the Duke Of New castle, and others of bis suite ;,tben'he is to meet the royal party at St. Louis ; and he spoke of his august mother, clearly the Queen, and the General, too, he spoke of a General—Wil liams, of course. Oh, it’s all perfectly] clear!” “Well,” said the other, “make his highness P a >’| “ I intend to,” and the conversation! ceased. The next morning Pennytown jvtpi t astir early. There was to be a procession of the town officers, and speeches made. A ball was to bo given in, the hall of the new court-house; and a grand display of fire works was to, take place in the evening, ; At ten o’clock the mayor drove to theltavern.

A. VISIT TO- WHEATLAND, Dear Press : A few afternoons ago, lured by a bright sun, and a cool bracing, auftim atpios phere, I found myself careering, school-boy like, over fences, and grain field? verdant with early promise,until exhaustion hinted the decay of boyhood’s flowers of endurance. Depressed ! at the thought that my physical, tenacity no longer existed ns in days whilom, I seated my self on a broad top-rail to recover the breath my gambols had cost me, and perhaps to obtain at the same time a more extended view of the riches lavished by the hand of Nature oh this chosen spot of earth. Prom the right came up ti me the hum of looms and spindles, and the ten thousand occupations of man commingled ip indistinguishable din. North-ward spread • out the undulating land scape, checkered by brown plough-broken and grain-verdured fields, receding until the eye fails its distinguishing power in the haze of the distant hills. Westward andßuthwafd the eye sweeps! the summits of the Susquehanna, hemming ridges, and catches, through the crisp, transparent air of this magnificent fall day, the tall Columns of smoke marking the sites of the furnaces, at the foot of the Chiques, apd at the mouth of the Conestoga. At ray feet, and far off between the green fields runs the limestone raecadamized road, marking its presence by its white track orer the verdant -slopes. Close at hand, and in the very bosom of this enchanting landscape—a landscape that Claude , of Lorraine, would have dwelt ufion with rap ture, and penciled with the-'inspiration of his art —lies Wheatland, the home of James Bu chanan. Passing through the little turn-stile op the summit of the slight eminence behind the mansion, I hastened along thereccntly im proved walks, noticed the* freshly trimmed vines, and new trellises, over which they will creep when the spring shall come, descended the winding slope where the old Newfoundland dog met me, wagging his* fail in' a friendly manner, as though- he recognized in me one whom his master wes del|ghted to honor with a friendly grasp of the hand in days gone* by, and crossing the wide gravelled carriage-way, stood upon the porch along which Mr. Bu chanan had often paced to and fro, pondering the hopes aodifears attendant On his ambition ■ —the Presidency. ‘The house and grounds are undergoing* a thorough refitting.* 'Paper hangers, upholsterers,- painters, scrubbers, cleaners, whitewashes, and gardeners, are all or have bee# busy preparing for the ‘ reception of Mr. Buchanan after he shall have retired from lh6 direction of.’ and active participation in, the affairs of Government. In all the im provements and changes there..is still exhibited that good taste which has ever characterized Mr. Buchanan : nothing flashy; no’effort to bewilder, or emhairass the visitor by elaborate ’ display. The, impression is at once received, on crossing the threshold, of simple, onpreten ding.comfort:.. Upon his entire.absence of all ornament, an ingenious pensioner of the Presi dent might base a corollary of sterling official qualities, and the envious, disappointed appli cant infer the niggard economy of the individ ual. lam neither and look upon it as it is. Wheatland is a fitting place to terminate a long and eventful life. Here, undisturbed, with bis eve resting upon the teeming a,cres around him, may the man who ascended the pinn ule of hitf earthly ambition fitly ask himself; “ Have i done w 11? Have I, who have had-the guidance Of a nation’s destiny, fulfilled to the best of my ability that nation’s wishes and expectations? Have there been no ignoble jealousies, in the pursuit of which tho great interests of- my countrymen have been wholly lost sight of?” I hope James Buchai - an may, not find-in these questions self-accu sations. I asked myself if tho events of Mr. Btichan an’s lifeiwmtid throw a charm around' Wheat- • .land such ns the touri-it feels on his approach to Monticello, Ashland, uni the Hermitage?— Will the American dtizen feef that venera tion for his does for that of J; f ferson, Clay, and Jackson ? 'Will the ex;Pre-i -dent in his retirement he cheered to the end of his days by ardent personal attachment and unremitting kindnesses of life-long associates? Will the Democratic party listen to the voico from Wheatland, ns the key-note of its "cam paigns, did to that from Monticello and the Hermitage, and as the old Whig party did to that from Ashland? W-ill tbe same open-handed hospitality cordiality gush from the heart of the Pennsylvanian, as perennially flowed from those of the Virginian, and that of the South Carolinian ? These questions may bo an swered affirmatively- by the very few ardent admirers of Wheatland’s sage, hut after wiN nessing the entire severance cf nil • of Ahe 1 old social lies by the President within his executive term, I do himJb.it justice to say that they will generally be answered negatively. The quali ties of the men'whom I have mentioned were wholly'different,. Originality and steadfastness .of purpose, based-'on popular sentiment, were the characteristics of tho departed worthies, while of Mr. Buchanan it may bo written, as Macaulay wrote of Charles the First whole principle'of his government was resis tance to public opinion ; nor did he'make any concessions to that opinion till it mattered not whether he resisted or conceded ; till the tui tion, which hud long ceased to love him or trust him, had at last ceased to fear him.’' Of the three statesmen to whom T have re'., ferrod Mr.-Buchanan bear*,' p rh ipi, the lea*t p.semblance of Jack.- it.
