"Thoyput everything on runners, wliilo tiie snow lasts ; for it docs not tarry lung, llitggy scats, carmgo tops, crockery seats all arc in question. Ami I even saw one of tho fiiict horscsin the city drawing a hogshoad on wooden runners, in which were seated a gentleman and lady. 'I hey were a fine looking couple, and bnro off tho palm for fast driving, as well a3 tho moat ludicrous plciyh conveyance." Letter from Chicago. Ah, reader! and "thereby hangs a talc." Tt was a Xow Year's day in that far famed city of tho AVust even the New Year's day of '50. Sit ce Christmas, win ter has set in, in a good old-fashincd earnestness. Snow had fallen to the depth of several inches, and, Icing firm and hard, made excellent sleighing a rare thing in the city. Indeed, our wintors seem sadly degene rated of late, bcinj much more mild and free from snow, than tho dava of our fa thers; perhaps tn accommodate thum to our failing hoalth and strength; for this latter fact h but too apparent. let tins JNow loar.s day seemed moio a typo of tho old time. It was cold, yet not too osld, and tho slcighinc was excel lent. Everybody that had a suitable con veyance, or could got one, even any price, was out enjoying tho rare roort: onlv the more kceuly to bo enjoyed for its very rarity. It was indeed a gala day; nnd bright and beautiful ovcihcad, brighter and more beautiful still in Iho human hearts beating so joyously beneath. barnct Hammond sat in his count no- room, busily engaged in attending to the rreoption of a largo quantity of goods, just arrived. He was youmj yet ; but fast ris ing in wealth and position. Born in tho East, ho had brought with him all tho ha bits of strict attention to business which thcro generated. Whilo there was aught of that to calm his attention, pleasure must bo waived. Therefore, when ho did givo a iloublo zeal. .Naturally warm hearted and impulsive, nnd social withal, as such persons must be, ho keenly enjoyed society. And when ho entered it, lie wa? over a welcome companion, both with his own and opposito sex. And now, closing his books with a look of satisfaction and relief, ho determined to givo himself up to tho pleasures of this annual gala day, Wl,il l,C;r.A,3 I.. closed his cars and eyes to all clso ; but now ho could not fail to hear tho unusual stir in tho streets, and feel that whilo ho had been engaged within dcors, all had been mo ana commotion without. When ho camo forth tho street presented a most novel scene, A nioro rnoflv. ineoncrous lot of vehicles it were not easy to imagine. Suchlifo and hilarity aro always infectous, ana earnest soon caugiit the spirit. 11c, too, would join tho slcdgcrs ; but how 1 Ho inquired at Eoveral stables for a sleigh, No ono to bo had. Yet ho was not easily daunted, and, moreover, had an unusual share of perseverance. ITo owned ono of tho finest horses in tho city ; of that ho was sure. Ho remembered, too, that in a rctnoto part of tho stable, whero ho nail usually Kept linn, ho had ono day no ticed a pair of wooden runners. Ho would sco if in somo way a convoyaneo could not bo planned. His Yankee ingenuity must bo brought to tho service. uo soon reached tho stablo. Tho run ners woro found, and in good crdcr. Hut now for tho other part. A hogshead, that for somo roason or other, had been swed apart and nicely cleaned, stood bofo'ro him. Instantly a part of it was upon tho runners. In a few minutes a comfortablo scat was added, aud ho was roady for a drive, Hut now oroso another difficulty, un tliought of beforo, No must have o com paniona lady of course; olsq half Iho Bjoymortl Would b lect Hut uho would it bo t Who would bo seen, oven with him, i in such a convoyaneo as that? Excuse' his vanity, reader mine. Ho know ho was a favorite. Indeed, ho could not help knowing it. But tln3 was a special occa sion, "All tho world" was out. Who could ho find bravo enough to daro it? Ho must sco. There woro two or thrco young ladies who had long claimed his special regard, ' aud he felt suro ho was not entirely indif ferent to them. Ho had oven been obscrv 1 ing them of late, striving to learn tho truo I character of each. This he found, as gen-' tlenicu and ladies usually meet in tho city, ! rather a difficult matter. How ho yearned to sco through tho false surroundings into tho truo and inner lifo beneath 1 lie was rather old fashioned in his notions, it must j bo confessed; but ho did caro inoro for tho ' real tin u tho artificial moro lor tho mind and heart than for tho outer covering But how would it end ? Would he bo wiser than his sex? It was indeed a difficult question j but ho did not quite despair. Ella Campbell had long been ono of tho first in his esteem. But recently ho had thought her vain and superficial, earing moio for tho outer than tho inner man, and had been cautious in his attentions to her; Ho would test her now. Driving briskly to tho door and throw ing tho reins over his liorse, ho quickly rang tho bell. A servant, at onco ushered him into tho parlor, where sat tho lady of his thoughts. Slio greeted him warmly ; but on hoariug tho object of his visit and tho uniqucjennvoyanco ho had.brought, sho plead a previous engagement, and at once excused herself, , Earnest Hammond was gifted with a good share of penetration; and when not previously blinded, read charjctcr well. Now, instinctively fcclins how it was, ho politely withdrew. And whilo ho rode gaily away, Ella Campbell sat pouting in tho room, unthought of and uncarcd for by tho moving mass without. Earnest's next visit was to the liouso of Squire Heed. Hero ho had long been a frequent and welcome visitor, and was al vrnye received quito liko o:io of tho fami ly,'' as Iho Squire often said, looking knowingly at his two girl-), Charlotte and Bella. Charlotte was tho older and handsomer of the two; and beauty is always attractive, especially with tho men. Sho was tho fa vorite, too, in society, But at times Ear nest had turned from her to the gentle, graceful Bo'la, with her puro heart, and p'quont, innocent ways, almost with a feel ing of lovo for tho latter. Her's was indeed a character to study. Timid and retiiiug when in tho prcsonco of stranger, shr was yet singularly artless and confiding with these sho best knew. There was a dash of independence, too, and a vein of rom neo in her heart, plea sant and refreshing to meet. Sho was graceful and pliant, it is truo, but ' there was a character and strength there, also. Though her sister might best please in a crowd, she would be boiler known and loved it homo. All that Earnest felt, still, beauty fasci nated him. Not that Bella was uly. Oh, no. But sho was not beautiful cither ; at least, save in tho loving eyes and hearts of thoso who best know her. Earnest liked them both. It was difficult indeed, to de termine which was tho favorite. As ho ncarcd tho door ho said to himself, as ono often will, in cases of doubt "A look or word shall decido between them. If ono or both refuse to ride with me, it fehall bo a sign that all is over. But if one accepts why, then, who knows what may conic of it? I am twenty-eight now; "old enough," as my partner told mo yc.-terday, " to bo married and have a homo of my own," and so I am. Wo shall sco I Two faces wcro at iho window as ho drove up. Ono brightened visibly, and tho other as visibly paled, whilo a mingled ex pression ot scorn and disippointmcnt pass ed over her features. "Good morning, ladies, good morning," exclaimed he, as ho entered their presence. I find myself in rather an awkward posi tion just now, and need somo ono to help mo out. I must have a drivo this morning, yet I have been unable to obtain any con- ( vcyance save tno ono you saw as I drovo I up, What bhall I do?" and ho looked to (Juarlotto tor an answer. "An awkward position, indeed 1" answer ed sho. " You had belter drivo alone." " But must I ?'' ho asked somewhat sor rowfully, Bella looked up quickly; but sho did not speak. " Surely you do not think a lady would bo scon in suoh a convoyaneo I" continued Unarloltc, with a sliglt toss of her beauti ful head. Again Bella looked up, while a painful flush suffused her check. Sho was borry jherfcister had thus spot en sorry for her, 'grieved for Earnest. Sho felt suro that jshc could not havo denied him that what- ever ho should ask would not bo improper or wrong. How then could her sister speak thus? j Charlotte noticed the expression, and ! half read its meaning. Sho did not much I liko tho reproof it convoyed ; and turning ' to her sho said, somewhat scornfully : " Perhaps my sister would go with you. Will you, Bell ( " Will you, Bella ?' tho young man ro pcatcd earnestly, as ho bent on her a glanco which thrilled through- every part of her being. For a moment tho bloocl rushed oyer her brow and ncok, tho next it recoded, and the answerod gaily "And why not, indeed I' Bui will you go, Bella ' im asked Earnest, tn that straight forward manner which ever characterized him. " I should liko it of all things I" answer ed tho enthusiastic girl, forgcting tho emo tion of tho moment-beforo. " Hut remember how we aro to go," con tinued Earnest, quickly. " You will bo tho observed of all obser vers," added Charlotte. ''And what of that?" oalled buck tho delighted girl, as sho was half way up tho stairs. In a moment sho was ready ; and gaily bidding her sister good-byo, sho was Boon seated beside Earnest, and thoy drovo ra pidly away. Charlotte half repented her momentary prido when sho saw tho tender glanco of earnest, as lio placed tier earclully upon tho scat, and drew closer tho folds of her large, warm shawl, in which she had shown tho good sense to wrap herself. But it was too lato now ; so taking a book sho pro pared to spend tho morning alone. In tho mcantimo Earnest and Delia had joined tho motly throng now moving so rapidly through the city. Now thoy diovo dowu close to tho wa ter's edge, where, far as tho eye could roach, ono saw nothing but tho clear, blue waters nf tho lake, with its masts aud sails, making ono think ho wcro upon the Atlan tic coas, instead of so many miles in tho interior. Annn they looked upon tho wido spreading prairio now puro and whito with Iho new fallen snow, and stretching far away till it was lost where earth and sky seemed to meet. Then ag-iin they were passing through tho wido and level streets of tho city, Oh 1 there is lifo and exhilaration in giving one's self up to tho enjoyment of tho hour ! Nature is a good mother to us all; and when wo givo ourselves into her keeping, fIio will over till tho heart with joy and gladness. Would that more such exorcises nv ro such out-ot-door exorcises wcro freely enjoyed by all I This shut ting one's self up so completely within doors, as somo do in winter, is enough to drivo all tho rosses from tho check, all joy and gladness from tho eye, and nil freshness from tho heart, making ono old beforo his timo, Tho spell of tho hour was upon them ; as thoy sped merrily along; Earnest felt his heart warm more and more toward tho pure and artless girl by his side. He had known her long ho had known her well ; and sho had over seemed the same ingeuius, truthful and g:od. Ho wandered how, even for a moment, ho had over thought of another ; for sho stomed to him, thco, all that his heart could over wish or desire. But could sho over be bis ? or was sho destined for another ? The thought initio him desperate. Ho could not endure it for a moment. Tho question must bo decides at onco, and with him, to resolve was to act. They h id been talking gaily of the scene around them or Bella had been talking, ho listening, for amid tho multitude of ve hicles in the street each had to attend pret ty carefully to his own ; when turning to htr with another of theso glances which thrilled thromjh every fibro of her being, ho said, and his voice was low and earnest a ho spoke. "Bclia, 1 am a business man, and shall do up things in a business fashion. I lovo you. Will you be my wilfe ? Tho young girl looked up astonished. Sho had' long liked him liked him bettor than any other on earth ; but she had nev er dreamed of being his wife. He was so much older, so much wiser than sho for sho was scarce eighteen, and in heart a very child why did ho not tako her sis ter? Sho could not comprehend it all; and almost doubted if sho heard aright. For many moments she did not reply. Earnest observed her closely, and roid half in her faeo tho unuttcrcd thought She was about t) speak, when tho wuolo ludi crousness laughed outright. It wis his turn now to look astonished. " Why Bella, what is tho matter? " ho soou asked, somewhat hurt. " Only think 1 making lovo in a hogs head ! " laughed tho niisehicvtius girl, i moro merrily than beforo. "Who cverj heard of such a thing!" and this time. Earnest joined her even at his own ex-1 pense. " Well, well, no matter where," contin. ued he, taking tho little hand that lay fur . a moment outside her shawl. ''Do you' lovo mo, Bella ? and will you bo my wife ? Answer mo truly ; uiU you be mine f ''' "Yes, Earnest, yesl but I must laugh, ncvci tholes.?. Tho seeno is so entirely and ; wholly ludicrous. Quito a now order of romanco ? " and again her laugh rang out loud and clcar.as tbo song of a bird. At this time Earnest joined initashcar tily as sho could. Ho could well laugh, now; for.had sho not promised to bo his? . No matter vherc tho promiso had been mado; no matter how sho was his; all his ! And as ho pressed her hand at part ing ho said " Laugh, now, as much as you like ; but to-night I shall como to appoint tho wed ding day, and arrange for its ceremonies. So, good morning, dearest!" and in a moment ho was gono, That night all was arranged ; " Squire Reed and Ids wifo giving a full and free consont ; and in just six weeks from that time, Delia Reed becamo Mrs. Earnest Hammond. - EST A Dutchman who had a brother in this country, wroto to his relatives inform ing them that his brother had boon 'placed in a publio situation by tho government, ami at tho timo of his death, had several thousand peopK., including tho ehcri'ff ami graud jury, under hint. Tho Polico Outdono by a South ern Lady. A few days since somo unknown persons entered a fashionable boarding house, near SumniQr street, kept by Mrs. M., making assessments of such articles as thoy liked best, and left tho plaoo unseen aud unharm ed, Among tho boarders whoso goods and chattels wcro thus unceremoniously taken away, was Miss II.. a fair daughter of tho Sunny South, who happened to bo spending tho winter in tho City of Notions. Hcrl loss consisted of a beautiful velvet hat. As soon as tho theft was discovered tho polico wcro consulted, and every thing done to remove tho mystery, but all to uo pur pose. As Miss n., was walking.Washington st., ono of the pleasantcst days last week, ima gin her surpriso in passing a large and mns. culino looking woman, dressed in tho height of fashion, with hoops and crinoline, velvet hat which sho had lost. Wiiat was to bo done ? Every step was taking tho bonnet fmther from its owner, who was alono and a stranger in tho city. It did not take her long to decide. Sho started in tho same direction, and was soon alongside of the velvet hat. "Where do you reside, madam I" " In Court," was tho reply. "Aro vou going home ?" " I am." 'Go on, and don't let mo hinder you. And onward they walked, now to the right and now to tho loft. At length thoy entered a dark alloy, and after passing sev eral dismal abodes thoy halted at a door. "Do you live here?'' "I do upon tho second floor." "Go up then, for 1 have business with you." Thoy entered. After going up two flights ot stairs they reached njroomin which thoy found five women. Thoy entered the room, and hero our heroine mado known her business. Posting herself beside the door, with a calm but defiant look, she de manded of tho woman lo know whero she obtained the velvet hat, the shawl, and the basquo upon her person." "I bought them," was tho reply. "No, you did not; thoy wcro stolen, and now tako them off immediately." Had a bombshell exploded in tho room, tho confusion could not havo been grcitcr. Hut great as it was, it did not intimidate tho owner of tho velvet hat in the least de gree. It only changed tho happy aud fas cinating look of a most beautiful face to tho unconquered look if a Cromwell. "Now bo quiet and own up, and bring forward tho stolen poods, for it will bo bet tor for you. Now I havo found tho goods and tho thief, no doubt, I am going for an offiecn See that none of you lcavo the room or disturb nu articlo whilo I am gone." "Whilo descending tho staiis our hero ine, espied a doctor on his way lo visit tho sick, and asked his assistance. "I have," said she, "found somo stolen property, and havo it socuro in this house; will you call an officer to as-Ut mo in removing it?" Tho doctor readily assented, and whilo ho sought for policemen, sho still guarded her trust.

A young gentleman residing in tho neighborhood of Richmond, had occasion, a short timo since, to drive his pretty cousin i'anny down to Windsor in a gig. Littlo Charlie, a brother of Fanny's, accompanied and sat betweon thorn in tho gig; but as ho was only fivo or six years ot aire, was con sidered nobody. Unfortunately, however, tho urchin had got a now hat that very day, of which ho was exceedingly proud. landing, on his arrival at Windsor, that it had sustainod somo injury during tho jour ney, he rushed to his mamma to complain. " L declare, mamma," he cried, " I'll never ride in a gig between sister Fanny and cousin George again." "Why so, my dear?" inquired mamma. "Because," he replied, "they'vo crushed my new hat all to pieces, with leauing over to kiss each other, all tho way from Rich mond."
