glance into his palo features to tell that he
was an invalid, IIo sat with his head
resting upon his hands, and his whole
frame would over and andu tremble as
though with some powerful emotion.
As tho youth sat thus, his door was
oponed,,afl,d an elderly gentleman entered.
"Ah, doctor, you are moving early this
morning," said Ballcrton, as ho leisurely
roso from his scat and extended his hand.
"Ohl not early for mo, George," re
turned Allyne, with a bright smile. " 1
am an early bird,"
"Well, you've caught a worm this time,"
" I hopo 'twill provo a valuable one."
"1 don't know," sighed tho youth. " I
fear a thousand worms will inherit this
poor Uc-dy ere Jong."
"Nonsonso! Ycu nro worth half a
rfseotury yet," cried tho doctor, giving him
a gentle slap .on the shoulder. " But just
tell mo, George, how it is with Jlowland I"
" Just as I told you. All is gone."
" I don't understand it, George."
" Neither Ao I," said ,tbo young man,
sorrowfully "That Charles Jlowland could
have dono that thing, I would not, could
not havo believed. Why, had an angel
appeared to mo two weeks t0, and told
me that Rowland was shaky, I would not
have paid a .moment's attention to it.
Hut only think : when my father died he
selected tor my guardian Ui.s .best friend,
and such I even now believe Charles How
land was, and in his hands he placed all
his wealth, for him to keep until I should
become of ago. And when I did arrive at
that period of life, 1 left my money where
it was. I had no use for it. Several
limes within three or four years has llow
land asked me to take my money and in
ve.'t it, but 1 would uot. I bade him keep
it, and use it if he wished. I only asked
him that, when I wanted money, ho would
honor my .demand. I felt more safe, in
faot,-tbjiu I should have felt had my money
been in a bank on deposit."
How much hid ho when hojlcftl"
" How niuch.qf .mine 1"
" Yes."
"Iojhpuld havc.had a hundrod thou
sand dollars."
"What do you mean t.t do?"
"Ah ! you have mo on tho,hip .there."
"Aud yet you must do something,
George. Heaven knows I would kcop
you'if 1 could. I shall claim the privilego
of paying your debts, howovcr."
" No, no, doctor nono of that."
" But I tell you I ehall. I shall pay
your debts; but beyond that I can only
assist you to (help yqrself. What do you
say to going to sea."
A faint smilo swept over tho youth's palo,
features at this remark.
" I should make a smart hand at fioa
doctor I I can hardly keep my logs on
shore. .No, no I must
"Must what!"
"Alas I I know not. I shall dio that'i
all I"
"Ntjpsonsc, George. I.say, go to sea,
You couldn't go into a shop, and you
wouldn't if you aould. You do not wish
to .remain here amid the scenes of your
happier days. Think pf it. At sea you
would bo free from all sneers nf the heart
less, and free from all contact with things
you loatho. Think of it."
George Ballcrton started to his feet and
paced tho floor for somo minutes. Wbon
he stopped, a new lifo seemed already at
(Work withinjiim.
" If I went to soa, what. should I do 1"
"You understand all tho laws of foreign
trado i"
" Yes, You know I -hafl a thorough
schooling at that in my fathor'a counting
house."
" Then you oanjiavo tho birth of super
cargo."
"Aro you suro I can got ono I"
Xes."
"And tho salary 1"
" Two thousand dollars."
"Doctor John Claudius Allyno, I will
did 1 know you less than I do or, knowing
you well, did I know you as Ido many
I should givo you back your vows, and
freo you from all bondage, liut I believe
I should, tramplo upon your heart did I do
that tliia now I know your lovo is too
avoirdupois. IIo n.ow brought up tho boam
fairly at ono hundred and pevonty-six.
Purely ho was a now man in every respect.
On tho afternoon of tho third day, as ho
entered his hotel, ono of tho waiters handed
him a letter. He opened it and found it
puro and deep to bo torn from your bosom from Mr. Wi"00- It.was a request ttiajt
at will. So I say wait wait 1"
" But why wait! Have I not enough!"
" sh 1 You know not what you say.
Thcro .nro other feelings in tho human
heart besides Joyo. That love is a poor,
profitless passion which puts asido ell other
considerations. Wo must love for eternity",
and so our lovo must bo free. Wait. I
am going to work. Ay, upon ,th.e soa to
workP
" But why upon tho sea ? Why away
whero my poor heart must ever beat in
anxious hopo and doubt as it foflmva tbco I"
" Jiceauso I cannot remain hero. Hun
dreds of poor fools havo jmagiuod that I
shunned them becauso I was proud, Thoy
knew not that it was tho tainted atmos
phere ill their moral life that I shunned.
Thoy gloat over my misfortune. lon may
call mo foolish j but it would Jrill mo to
stay hero."
"Alasl must it bo !"'
"It must. You will wait!"
" I will wait even tho gates of the
tomb 1"
ho would bo at tho morohant's house, nt 0
o'clock that evening. 4
''CKeorgo,!' said tho doctor, after tho
Voung man had given a full account of his
dventurcs, !!I should think you would

Gcorgo ,Ballcrton walked ono evening
to tho houso of tho wealthy merchant, An
drew Wilton. It was a palatial dwelling,
and many a hopeful, happy hour had ho
spent beneath his roof, uo rang tho bell

from tho ownership .oimmenso wealth
to tho trado books of a merchant ship, was
a transition indeed ! Rut cro ho went on
deck again ho had fairly resolved ho would
do his duty, come what would short of
death. l,e woul forget that ho ever did
clso but work for his livelihood, With
these resolves clearly defined in his mind,
ho already felt better.
At first our supercargo was too weak to
do much. He was very soa sick, .and it
lasted nearly two weeks ; but when that
passed off, and he could pace tho vibrating
deck with a stout stomach, his appetite
grow sharp, aud his muscles began to grow
strong. At first his appetite craved some
of tho many delicacies he had been to long
u3cd to; but.thoy were not to bo had, nnd
he soon learned to do without them. Tho
.result was, his appctito becaruo natural in
its wants; and his systom "began to find
itself nourished by siiuplo food, nnd in
proper quantities.
For years ho had looked upon breakfast
as a mettl whioh must be set out and bo
partaken of from mere fashion. A cup ol
coffco, and perhaps a pieco of dry toast, or
some seasoned and highly-spiccd tit-bit.
had constituted tho mornins meal. Rut
now, when the broakfast hour came, ho
approached ,it wjth a keen appetite, qnd
felt as strong and as 'hearty as at any timo
of tho day.
Ry degrees tho hollow cheeks becamo
full; and tho dark eyes assumed new lustre
tho color rich qpd healthful oaruo to his
faco; tho breast swelled with increasing
power ; tho lungs expanded nndgrew st rong;
tho muscles more firm and true ; the nerves
groiv calm and Bteady j and tho garments
ho had worn when he came on board had
to-bo let out some inches in order to mako
them compass his person. His disposition
becumo cheerful and bright ; and by timo
tho ship had roached the southern capo of
Africa tho crow had all learned to lovo
him,
Through storm and sunshine, through
tempest and calm, through dark hours and
bright, tho young supercargo made his
voyage. In ono year from tho day hodeft
his nativo land no placed ins toot again on
tho soil of his homo. Hut ho did not stop.
Tho saiho ship, with tho same officers, was
going upon. tho .same cruiso again; nnd ho
mcant-'to go in her. Ho saw Mary Wiltoni
and sho would wait. (lie saw Dr. Allwyno,
and .tho kind old gentleman praised him
for his manly independence.
Again Goorgo Rallcrton .was upon tho
sea ; and pgain ho assumed tho duties of
his office, and even moro. Ho .stood watch
when then vas no ,nccd of it, and during
seasons of storm ho cjaimcd a post on
deck.

" Yes, sir," whispered tho youth.
"Well," resumed Rowland, "Doctor
Allwyno wa3 the man. IIo had your mo
ney."
" now f What!" gasped George, gazing
from one to tho other in blank astonishment.
Mold on, 4ity boy," said tho doctor,
while a variety of emotions sccmod at work
within his.bosom. " I was the villain. It
was I who cot your money. I worked
your ruin, my boy. And now liston, and
I'll tell you why.
" I saw that you wcro dying; Your
father died of the samo disease. A con?
sumption was upon you not a regular
pulmonary affection, but a wasting away
of the system for tho want of vitality. Tho

tho cords that bound it to .earth, I know
that you cquld bo cured.; and I knew too
that tho only Vrlipg that would euro you
was to throw you upon your own phytioal
resources for a .livelihood, Thcro was a
morbid willingness of tho spirit to pass
away. You would have died ere jyou made
an exertion, rom tho very fact that you
looked upon exertion as worse than death.
It was a strango stato of both body and
mind. Your largo fortuno rendered work
unnecessary, so there was no hopo wliilo
that fortuno.remained. Had it been wholly
a bodily malady, I could havo argued you
into tho necessary work for a cure. And,
on tho other hand, had it been wholly a
mental disease, I might havo driven your
body to hqlp your mind. Rut both wcro
weak, and I knew that ycu ,mut cipher
work or dio.
"And now, my boy, I'll tell you wcro my
hope "lay. I jknow that you possessed
such a true prido of independence that
you would not depend upon others.

"Ishot that officer," exclaimed a rifleman,
as ho saw an officer fall at New Orleans.
"I shot him in tho right eye," replied
tho other rifleman.
"And I shot him in tho loft eye,'" was
tho rcsponso.
Aftor. tho battio, it was "found that an
officer had been shot in both eyes. This
unerring precision can only bo obtained by
long praetico and thorough drilling.
At the first settlement of tho State, they
wcro compelled t' bo constantly under
arms, as it were, to guard against tho wild
Indian and niuurdervus tomahawk. As tho
father, so tho child grew up, taught in
earliest infaucy possKblo, to poiso (tho riflo
and. direct its aim. As ammunition was
not always convenient to bo had, tho father
would dole out to his sen n. nnrtain ntim""-
of cartridges for his rifle, for each of which
ho must bring home somo sort of game, Or
get a taste of hickory for vcry missing
shot.
Many years ago I was conversing with
my father on tho wondorful skill ,9 the
Kcntuckians, when he related tho following
anecdote :
"J was out in tho wild of Kentucky,
6omo years before tho war, on a surveying
expedition and had an opportunity of stu
dying the character of thq early settlers for
a considerable longth of timo. It beoamo
necessary for me to stop a few days at a
log tavern, and to whila away tho, time 1
trjirk my rifle and explored tho woods for
game, of which thcro was an abundance.
Tho landlord had a .little son, about ten
years of oge, who accompanied mo with
his rifle, and always had extremely good
luck. j9n ono occasion tho fates seemed
averso to him, fur perceiving a squirrel on
a very high branch of a treo, ho up with
his rifle .and blazed away, and down came
tho squirrel. Tho lpok of dismay with
which ho viewed tho gamo, I shall never
forget. Dropping the butt of his riflo on
the ground, ho burst into tears. In the
utmost surprise, I inquired what tho matter
was. He answered
"Daddy'll liek mo."
"Lick you 1 what for I"
"Because I didn't hit him in tho head."
I soothed him all I could, but tho day's
pleasure" was ovor. On returning to tho
tavern I interceded for him all in my power
to savo him from the hickory, but it was of
no use; tho application must bo made, If
only for example
"No, no, stranger ; if I let him off I
break a standing rule of our State. I was
never lot off, and what is good for mo is
good for him. lln must shoot right or
put up with what ho gets."
Tho hickory was applied, but no bones
were broken. Such training as that, which
was universal in thoso parts, tells the secret
of Kentucky rifle shooting
dor any circumstances. Ladies, do not
marry a miser ; (18 will deny you not only
tho comforts, but tho necessaries of lifo,
and mako you poor in the midst of plenty.
IIo will not only destroy your peace of
mind by eternally talking of anticipated
evils, but ho will stint and starvo you until
your body shall b.ecQmo as lean as your
soul.
When I sco a man a lover of idleness
moro than of industry, sacrificing even his
interests to indolence, I guess tbaf man
will soon learn want. Ladies, do not
marry a lazy man ; for ho who i3 devoid of
energy must bo devoid of proper feelings,
and will not bo stimulated by affection to
discharge his duty to his family. Holy
Writ informs us that he who will not pro
vido for his own household is worso than
an infidel, and hath denied the faith.
WhepI sco a man a lover of whiskey
more than of water, wasting his health in
w-uwii ticjo, oaUUHUIIJir Ills nn.ait.II, ll'Ino
tation, and peaco of mind to a beastly
appetite, I guess tint man will soon drai n
tho cup of his misery to tho very dregs, and
that he is not long for this world. Ladles,
do not marry a drunkard; of all. characters
ho is tho most to bo dreaded and avoided,
for drunkenness is tho sch'ool of every other
vide, nnd tho high road to ruin.
When I1 sco a man a lovcr of self moro
than of society, engrossing, whilo in com
pany, the wholo conversation to himself
sacrificing every principlo of politeness to
a dictatorial dispositionr-l guess that that
man, few as ho admiro will find still few,er
to admire him, and none to placo as high
an estimation upon him a3 ho puts upon
himself. Ladies, do not marry a "proud,
conceited, taltting spark," ho Js too much
in lovo with his noble self to leave any room
in his heart for any' ono clso ; and rest'
assured, whero affection 3 not mutual, lifo
cannot bo prosperous or happy. "Secst
thou a man wiso in his own conceit, there
is moro hope of a fool than of him."
When I see a man a lover of pleasure
more than of property, sacrificing principlo
to passion, and propo to prostrate his pros
pects befoto his propensities, I guess that
that man will reap pain instead of pleasure,
and tha,t pleasuro itself will pall on his
palato. Ladies, do not marry a lover of
plcasu.ro; ho cannot perpetually plcaso you,
nor can you pJcao him long.
Whon J sco a man prodigal with his
property, pouring it out profusely, without
regard to the precepts of prudence, I gucs3
that that man js precipitately pacing tho
path to poverty, and tua tlicrcroro ho will
not long own property. Ladies, do not
marry a prodigal, unless jnu chooso pov
erty. When 'I sco a man of vittjwus life, with1
a clear head and 'a warm heart, and indus
trious habits, laboring with zeal and energy
fur his own and general good, I guess that
man would make a fiuo citizen, a happy
husband, an affectionate father, an&' 'a
prosperous man. .Ladies, keep, a good looK
out and when you find such a character,
and can get an offer from him, do not
hesitate or pause to inquire whether ho' fs
rioh, or descended from a great family, but
jump at tho ohanccf and your days shall
pass sweetly and smoothly away.
