Ido not regard myself as hav ing a superabundance of sentiment, yet at the hazard of having the imputation cast upon me, I will answer the question affirmatively ; and instead of resorting to arguments, either logical or physical will relate an incident by -way of illustration, a knowledge of facts which came to me in the routine of my profession. Two young men, George Sheldon and Harry Prestonc, gise seated in the office of an eminent jurist, in the town of C--, in Tennessee. They are apparently each about twenty-three years of age: In appearance they are noble specimens of young manhood—athletic of body and vigorous of mind. They are friends—have been from boyhood. Rex were matriculated together at college, gradaated ,at the same time, read law under the Otine instructor, have cultivated similar tast6s, formed similar habits, and have for each other an ardent friendship. They have just passed the customary form of judicial examination, and have been admitted to the bar. The usual, yet not justifiable lati tude of morals, had been taken by' them, and although their course bad been subli as were common with most " young men about town," they were regarded as reputable young men, and so they were in the main. Neither.of them had the prestige of fortune or family connections. Fonder female society. and having access to the best in they had given more of their time to the sex than was quite compatible with student lifo,• With out having any thought of forming a matrimo nial connection soon, at least, until their posi tion in life would jhstify, it, they had, never theless, as too many young persons in the same condition do, left the door of the heart a—little ajar. This, was not so reprehensible in them as was the exertions they made to enter in and take possession of the hearts of the other sex. Without having any particular base design, they had sought to obtain the affections of woman merely as a pleasant excitement, and with no thought of the misery it might bring to the other party. Am I in error when I say that it is a course of conduct common to the young tn . t.n of this age. and that it is most evil also ? Their object of itself may not be evil ; it may be simply, " To sport awhile with beauty's chain, ' Then throw it idly by," yet little do they dream that what to them may lifiVebeen intended as a harmless flirtation. May :embitter the life of another, or, perchance, lay her early away among the pale faced JOSEPII STOPP It does not follow, yet it is generally true, that woman is more trustful than man ; that her love is her life, and that when once her heart is fully won, it is won for life. An up right, honorable mind should. pause then, be fore he trifles with a nature too confiding. George and Barry had been thoughtless in this respect, and without intending it, the form er had been preparing a cup of bitterness and -of death, for a young woman who deserved a better fate. Evelyn Bryant, the young person of whom I speak, was a pupil of mine in the French Col lege at C She was the daughter of a poor needle woman, whose great struggle in life was to see her Eva take a proud position in the world of mind. To accomplish this, the poor woman had toiled early and late, had sacrificed health and pleasure, and had denied herself even the common necessaries of life. .Nobly did Eva repay all in her diligence and success as a student ; and ample was the recompense of the poor needle woman, as she listened, on commencement•day, to the valedictory lead by her daughter to a crowded auditory, all of whom delighted to honor the pale, intellectual, dark eyed girl. George Sheldon was one among many appre ciating listeners to" tho womanly sentiment's and tho rarely beautiful thoughts that fell in rich cadence from Eva's lips as she addressed her words of parting to her teachers and b echool companions.

TA111313 01)111V1111-111213Eliall 1113111240 tears. George not only wept but admired. Indeed Eva; whose features were in reality plain, seemed almost transfigured. so beautiful was the play of the mental over the physical, transcendently glorious was the shining of the light of thought upon her sad looking face. Eva was a genius, it is true, but not wisely balanced. Ilec imagination had been too much indulged; the„sentimCntal had 'been too much cultivated ; the 'consequence was that life wore to her an ideal hue, an illusory charm fatal to her peace. George and Eva met that night at the Presi dent's levee. He was in raptures with Eva.— Her conversation charmed him ; he was full of sentiment himself and was carried away with hers. His course was not a designed one. He intended no evil to the daughter of a poor needle woman. She was intellectual—she was the belle of the evening ; his devotion was but an innocent flirtation, he thought and argued, with harm to himself or injury to her. Ah : Little did he know of her nature, and little did he dream that every tender look he gave, and every gentle word he breathed, and every gentle feeling he professed, were finding a holy lodg ment in her guileless nature, and awaking feel ings which were to cease only when the heart ceased its throbbings. They met often. George admired Eva—per haps he loved her, but it was a mere pastime. It was not a dishonorable sentiment in the sense of looking to the ruin of the poor girl. We will do George the justice to say that no ulterior end ever presented itself to his mind ; yet whatever the feeling heentertained for Eva was, it certain. ly aid not look like a mere pastime. Era, on the contrary, loved with her entire woman's nature. It was the first deep passion her poetic soul had ever felt, and it possessed her without reserve. SI: o believed it reciproca ted, and therein was George Sheldon's error— we had almost said baseness. Ills vanity was flattered. Besides, he didmot wish to distress Eva by an avowal of the truth, persuading him self that it would prove an ephemeral feeling with her—that time and circumstances would eradicate it, and that a gradual estrangement on his part would produce forgetfulness on her's. A year bad passed since Eva's graduation, when George Sheldon und his young friend, Harry Presione, are seated in the office of their instructor Judge D. . " By the G. George," said Harry, in the pau ses of a conversation, in which their future pros pects bad been freely discussed, " what about this flirtation of yours with our town poetess? Love and Law have a very soft and illiterative sound ; yet, my dear fellow, that union will not be very favorable, to professional success, I am thinking." " The fact is, Harry," replied George, " it has become a more serious affair than I anticipated in the out set." " Do you mean," iuquired Henry, " that you love Eva ?" '" 'Well no, not exactly that. I am fond eneugh,..of "the girl. In fact, 'Harry, I like her society rather better than any of our young ladies but lam a little too old to slip my head in the matrimonial noose, where there is so much of poverty on both sides of the house, as there is in this case." " Eva loves you, George," " Well, yes, Harry, she does." " And that love you sought." " Admitted." " And you have professed a returp of that af fection." I have."' ,y And with no viciv to'mntrimony ?" " Coine, are you getting inquisitorial. But I had as well make a clean breast of it at once.— I did seek the love of Eva Bryan. I professed to love her—l do love her— and would marry her, if her circumstances were better and her family different. As it is, I cannot ; that's settled. With Eva this is almost a matter of life and death; at least she thinks so now.— You need not look so black upon eye. lam a scoundrel, I know, and I am not worthy of Eva ; yet I cannot marry her. I want to let her fall as easily as possible. I have that much principle left, any way.

I will write immediately to the old gentleman, giving him 'the state of affairs, and demanding his aid, which, of course, he will refuse. The result will be that Eva and I will have to resign each other. This will cost her a few tears, a month or so of melancholy, and then my, marriage with some one else will make it all straight: What say you to this old fellow I" • Harry expostulated and urged candor.— George was inflexible in his purpose, and they parted. • ' The proposition of marriage was made—the uncle written to—the letter contained as was ALLENTJWN, PA., MAY 2, 180. El=::3 expected by George, a flat refusal to help him. Eva, in her devotion and trust, proffered to brave poverty, to wait, to do any thing, only that she might hope. George affecting to be melan choly—sang those hypocritical lines,— " I'd of er..thee this hand of mine, &c," • and tore himself from het—" left her in her loneliness."—pledged himself to think of her and to bless her, in his wretched roving ; yet forgetting all ; for in less than twelve months he was the husband of an heiress. And Eva ! She lived on, growing paler each day, and singing songs, which, for sweetness, were as though they were born in the bowers of an angel. [=;:l 1:1=3 Two years after I was on a visit to C—. It was a quiet autumn evening, that I sat in a darkened room in the cottage of Mrs. Bryan.— The blinds were closed, and upon a low couch lay the Wasted form of Eva, dressed in 'white, while a bunch of late flowers,-.-pale like herself rested on the pillow nearker. She had sent for me to administer the communion. The service was over, and at her request we were alone. " I shall soon be at rest, my friend," she be gan, "and I wanted to talk with you, as with one of my earliest and best friends, before these lips are dumb." I took her hand in mine. It was cold. I felt that the struggle would soon be past, and . that she would be at rest, sure enough. " They say I tun dying of consumption," she continued. "It may be so. but the pain is here," and she rested her white hand upon her heart. "Yes, it has been here all the time.— Oh, Mr. —, you know .all. You know how I loved him. I would have toiled for him— would have suffered poverty—could have beg ged my bread and his, and been happy could I have shared his affection—have had one smile —one word of love. I bore all until I found that he had never loved me. It was that which struck the blow. I have been dyi er since. My heart has been silently breakinirrom that hour. " If want you to tell him that Eva loved him to the last, that she forgives him all ; that her last sigh will be burdened with a prayer for his for . his —." A paroxysm of coughing interrupted her. I summoned her mother. An hour after and poor Eva lay still in death delivered the message to George Sheldon.— The old man wept. It has made him a sad man, and we hope, a better one. His regrets, though, can never warm into life the heart his cruel trifling made cold and still forever. It may be, though, that this unvarnished re cital may warn some generous hearted young man against a course of conduct that will only bring darkness and desolation in the coming time. low Oyster-eating was Invented. The North British Review for February, has a most humorous and withal a valuable article on " Diet and Dress," from which we extract the following : It has often been said that lie must have been a bold man who first ate nn oyster. This is said in ignorance of the legend which as• signs the first not of oyster-eating to a very • natural cause. It is related that a man walk ing ono day by the sea shore, picked up one of these savoury bilialves just as it was in the act of gaping. ObserVing •..the • extreme smooth ness of the shell, he . insinuated his finger be tween them that , he might-f9el their shining surface, when •sudtierily they closed upon the exploring digit with a sensation less pleasura ble than he. anticipated.. The'prompt with drawal of his finger was scarcely a more luau ral movement than its transfer to his mouth.— It is not very clear why people when they hurt their fingers put them in their mouths : but it is very certain that they do ; and in this case the result was most fortunate. The owner of the finger tasted oyster-juice for the first time, as the Chinamen in Elia's essay having burnt his finger, first tasted cracklin. The, savour was delicious,—he had made a great discovery ; so he picked up the oyster, forced open the shells, banqueted upon the contents and soon brought oyster eating into fashion.— And unlike most fashions, it has never gone, and is never likely to go out. . A Fact for Farineri. Johnston Noyes, of .11averhill, not having manure enough to thorougly manure a spare acre of land, manured only one-half and plowed it in. He planted it with black Chenango potatoesi and the yield was one hundred bushels. The other half of the; acre he prepared in the same manner, with the exception of the manure, and planted it with the same kind of potatoes, and the yield was only eighteen btishels of a small size. This one fact should be sufficient to convince the most skeptical . of the advantages resulting from judicious manur ing of land. "NUMI3ER 30. ing-enuily of Woman. The foll Owing funny specimen of female wit is not now printed as new, but may possibly .beso to some of our readers. At any rate it is worth republishing. The stkry is, that a young lady, newly married—ln long enough to repent her choice—being obliged to show her husband all the letters she wrote, blinded the old gentleman by writing as follows to an inti mate friend. The old codger. upon reading the letter in the usual way, fancied himself at least twenty years younger, and " came down" to his " dear Mary" handsomely in the matter of new dresses, furbelows, and other flummery.— The explanation is, that the husband reads every line, and the friend, to whom the letter is written every other line : • " I cannot be satisfied, my dearest friend. blessed as . I am in the matrimonial state, unless I pour into your friendly bosom, which has ever beat in unison with mine. the various sensations which pervade and swell with the liveliest emotions of pleasure, my almost bursting heart. I tell you my dear husband is the most amiable of men. -- I have now been married seven weeks, and have never found the least reason or cause to repent the day that joined 418. My husband is both in person and manners far from resembling ugly, cross, old; disagreeable, and jealous monsters, who think by confining to secure a wife, it is his maxim to treat as a bosom friend and confident, and not as a .play-thing•, or menial slave, the woman chosen to be his companion. Neither party, he says, should always obey implicitly ; but each yield to the other by turns.— An ancient maiden aunt, nearly seventy, a cheerful, venerable, and pleasant old lady, lives in the house with us—she is the de light of both young and old ; she is very ci vil to all the individuals in the neighborhood, and generous and charitable to the poor.— I convinced my husband loves nothing more than lie does ine. He flatters me far more than the sparkling glass; and his intoxication (for so I must call the excess of his love) often makes me blush for the unworthines.i of its object, and wish I could be more deserving of the man whose name' I now bear. To say all in one word, my dear—, and to crown the whole, my former gallant lover is now my indulgent husband. My fondness is returned, and indeed I might have had a prince, yet been deprivedthe felicity I find in him. Adieu! may you be as blest as lam un able to hope or wish that I could be more happy." Indian Romance. A correspondent of the Superior News, re lates the following incident of " Indian Life,' in romantic light : Nagonub is the name of an Indian Chief, who resided at Fond Duelac, and here he has three wives in separate wigwams. For aught t know to the contrary—each one is just as happy as though she alone was the possessor of his prince ly heart. At the time of the late treaty and payment, at the island gem of Lake Superior,— La Pointe, Nagonub was. there, accompanied by the lovely trio, and alas for the brave old chieftain, here he was again called on to endure 'the torments of love; Yes he saW, - and becaine enamored of a beautiful half breed girl, whom he persuaded to become Mrs. Nagonub the fourth, and when the bands dispersed, his three old wives were sent home alone, in a canoe, while he with the young and blooming' bride embarked on the steamer Word fur Chicago, thence to return via St. Paul to - Feud Duelac. The lonely return of those deserted women to their silent wigwams, presented the best foun dation. for a dream cf romance of any thing J. ever met with. O ! dark and bitter were their thoughts, as arose before their mental vision the lineaments of their beloved protector, who,. wearied of his old etimpanions, had sought for happiness in the caresses of a younger and more beautiful being. I picture to myself their dark and flashing eyes, so blinded by scalding tears, that they can scarcely see to guide their fragile bark along the waters of Superior, and I hear their plain- tive voices as they chaunt to the wind the story of their woes : Oh, they must be " more or less human," if, when that rival gains HER home and THEIRS she meets no threatening looks, and hears no deep upbraidinp. WaSh Yalu; Trees. The present month of April, all fruit' trees should be scrubbed or scraped clean of moss, old rough bark, etc., and washed with a mix ture of weak ley, soot and sulphur. Say to one common water pail full of ley,' put one-fourth pound of powdered sulphur, and one quart of common chimney soot or lamp black. Wash ing the bodies of all trees with this at this season of the year, will destroy insects, open pours of the bark and, rapidly increase the growth and vigor of the tree. Lime wash should never be used—it closes the pores of the bark, and is unsightly to any cultivated taste.—Ohio Farmer. 1 7ln whatsoever house you enter, remain master of your eyes and tongue. Changes of Climpte. Tho following, from tho Scientific American; contains some interesting facts, and treats of a ceryfeeling subject, worthy of a careful in• vestigation : History informs us that many of the countries of Europe which now possesses very mild winters, at ono time experienced severe cold during this ebason of the year. The Tiber, at Rome; was often frozen over, and snow at ono time lay for. forty edays in that city. , Tho Euxine Sea was frozen over every winter during the time of Ovid, and the rivers Rhine at Rhone used to be frozen so deep that the ice sustained loaded wagons. The waters of the Tiber, Rhine and Rhone, now flow freely every winter ice is unknown in Rome, and the waves of tho Euxine dash their wintry form uncrystalized, upon the rocks. Some have ascribed these climate changes to agriculture ; the cutting down of dense forests, the exposure of the up turned soil to the summer's sun, and the drain . ing of great marshes. We do not believe that such great changes could have been produced . on the climate of any country by agriculture, and we are certain that no such theory can so count for the contrary change of climate—from warm to cold winters—which histOry tells us, has taken place in other countries than those named. Greenland received its valleys and mountains i and its east coast, which is now . inaccessible, on account of perpetual ice heaped upon its shores, was in the eleventh century, the seat of flourishing Scandinavian colonies,. all trace of which is now lost. Cold Labrador . was named Vinland by the Northmen, who visited it A. D. 1000, and were charmed with its then mild climate. The cause of these changes is an important inquiry. A pamphlet' by John Murry, civil engineer,. has recently been published in Lon-. don, in which he endeavors to attribute these changes of climate to the changeable position of the magnetic poles. The magnetic variation or declination of the needle is well known. At the present time it amounts in London to 23 de grees west north, while in 1658 the line of varia tion palmed through England, and then moved gradually west until 1816. In that year a great reinoval of ice took place on the coast of Greenland.; hence it is inferred, that the cold meridian, which now passes through Canada and Siberia, inay at one time have passed through Italy, and that 'of the magneticone ridian returns, as it is now doing, to its\old lines in Europe. Rome may once more see her • Tiber frozen over, and. the merry Rhinelander drive his temn on the ice of the classic river.. -t Whether the changes of the climate mentioned• have been caused by the change of the mug, netic meridian or not, we have too few facts be fore us at present to decide conclusively ; but the idea, once spread abroad, will soon lead to such investigations as will no doubt remove every obscurity, and settle the question. Constantinople. This city stands upon seven hills, which gives it the aspect of the largest city in the world. It is built in a triangular form at the extremity of the Bosphorus, where it joins the Sea of Marmara. There is a treble lino of walls round the city, of about eight miles in circum ference, flanked by a double row of houses.— Constantinople contians 12 Imperial mosques, 350 ordinary mosques. 30 markets, more than 300 fountains. and 109,000 houses. The popula tion is about 000,000. The Tmperial,residcnco may be said to form a city within a city, the walls being three miles in eircumferance, with twelve gates, and the number of the residents is between 0,000 and 7,000. The marine arse nal is a fine establishment, built upon the northern bank of the harbor. The naval arsinal . is near the quay, close to which the Turkish mnen•of-war are moored. A large and magnifi cent barrack for sailors is built near the dock yard, in which there arc large basins for the. repair of ships. At Tophann is the barrack for the cannoneers, and a Scutari, on the opposlts or Asiatic coast is an extensive pile of barracks, capable of accommodating 10,000 troops. The harbor, or Golden Horn, of Constantinople is a quiet and safe anchorage of the length of 4,000 . fathoms, and the breadth of 3,000 fathoms.— Its depths is so great that the largest ships of the-line approaching the two banks, can almost. touch the houses. The city is surrounded by . a girdle of natural fortifications, and her posi-. tion enables her to become the first naval and • military port in the world. The two sides Of the triangular promontory on which she stands are washed by the deep water, and she is as sailable on one side only.
