Beautiful, not sea Hobe ; btt Viiiteally beautiful, if I may so speak. lirperson, she was rather below the middlei ltature, but delicately and symmetricallY[lmade. Her Counten ance did not itrikeieu at first; son, few looked at her who liid not, turn almost in voluntarily, tole, lapin, for the very soul i of goodness was i ergentle face, and look ed from her blue heavenly eyes. Yes, all loved Marion.Linvalo, for no one could I help loving her. , But there was ono who ; loved her with a milk° ardent passion than thelret, and alit' ' villa :Clark Wilford, a gay- I helmeted, high,spirited young man. , was the eldest son of Judge Wilford. To many it waS a sown of wonder that Mar -1 ion should ?ield 'he r r heart to tho faseina 1, tious of oue like-Vilford, so.. opposite in. ' character it every particular.

Here his social flings soottAlrew him into the so-' ciety of young met; as loud of pleasure as binutelf r aud he -led, from the beginning, rather ft free life. Si. mouths after leav ing Alsterton fort oston, he returned, and on the same day her called over-to see Mar ion. There was something in the appear- , Twee of Mark thae affected the pure-hear- ' ted-maideu with pain the moment she look ed at him ; and, when ho bent elose to kiss her, and breathed ft her face, the Odor of brandy was so strong that it produced a momentary sickness. :When they parted, after a brief meeting, Marion went quietly up t4-her ehambei S and, after closing the door, sat down and wept silently. 113 25 835 00 400 00 6 50 40 00 40"00 2 00 202 50 202 50 196 50 63 00 332 11 19 61 81 00 690 00 120 00 60 00 254 97 904 95 950 50 300 00 1654 69 501 75 On the next da,i Mark came over for Marion Whitt faVsll-N tioekaway; and in- sistcd on her riding Out 'with him. She did not wish to go, yet was not prepared to decline the invitation. The brief debate in her mind was decided in favor of the young man's request. About a mile from Alderton stands a public house, much fre quented by Pleasure parties front the village. Out to this Mark Wilford drove, and a lighting walked with Marion into the beau tiful garden laid out. for the accommodation of visitors. Entering one of the arbors, he called to a servant and ordered refresh ments, naming, particularly, a bottle of wine. Already he had been drinking e nough to give his spirits an unusitabdegree of volatility ; a fact perceived by Marion, much to her grief, soon after they commen ced their ride. $25,9 I 3 70 ==---==== "No, not wine, Mark," said she quick ly, speaking from the Impulse of the mo ment. "Why not ? Yes, wine; a bottle of your best pale sherry." The servant girl departed,' and • Mark turned to Marion with light and joking words. His eyes were not clear enough. to look through the gentle smile she bad forced' to her face, and see the sadness that was beneath. 10950 00 14 85 .30 16 115 13 94 83 77 OR 634 31 293 56 52 36 73 8Q Soon the refreshments came, and Mark's first act was to fill a glass of wino and offer it to Marion. But she drew back and said 158 79 1965 25 104 50 21,346 84 300 00 521 75 "Then I will drink two glasses for every one I would have taken—one for you end' one for myself alternately," he replied gaily, and raising the glass to his lips, emptied it in a brtrath. A_ second and &third glass fol lowed, and then perceiving the deep sad ness that was veiling the face of the. sweet girl, hu drew his arm around her, and com menced singing the words of Moore "Nay tell me tiot,desr, that thw tablet &owns Ora charm of feeling and fond regret; .

Indeed, she did not think of thit. lie *aa Changed, and she felt an inward shrinking from him. Mark did 'not visit Marion again during his stay 'of a week in Aldetron. Shame, rather than anger, kept him away ; for he understood clearly the meaning of the sud den shrinking from him when he sung the drinking song, the words of which, when he thought of them in his sober state, he saw to'be far different from those he should address to' her. A year afterwards, Mark Wilford stood abote a goussy hillock in the grave-yard at Alierton. Beneath reposed all that wail moristrof Marion Linvale. Tears were in his eyes and sadness in hie heart; for the form of Marion was before him, as love's eclipse fell upon her gentle spirit, and she turned from hint in the vine wreathed ar bor. He had lost her from that moment, and— for what ? NEVER DESPAIR.

"To he honest, as the world goes,is_to be one pick.. ed out of a thousand." Our will must be confirmed to the high principles of immu table justice, or personal integrity cannot be maintained.

The Wllb of Gen. Washllngton A correspondent of the "Newark Daily" give the following anecdote respecting Mrs. IVashington, which he obtained from an an old familtin Whippany, N. J., named Vail. Mrs. Vail's first husband's mother, Mrs. Tuttle, was a sensible and agreeable woman, whose company was much sought, even 'by those who,. owing to thoir wealth, moved in more fashionable circles. A mong other frequent visitors, was Mrs. Troupe, a lady Of a half-pay captain , in the British Awry. She is described ma lady of affable manners, and of intelligence, and much esteemed..

We must become independent by our determination' to do without what' wo cannot make - our selves, While our husbands and brothers are cauunples of patriotism, we must be pat terns of industry l't , Aceinding to Mrs.. Troupe's sithi, Mrs. Washington gave her Visitors some excel- lent advice, the meanwhile adding throe to her words by her actions ' and withal, in such a way that they could not take offence. In this she proved herself more worthy to occupy her distinguished position, than she could have done by all the graceful and el egant accomplishments which are often found in princesses and queens. In the relations she occupied, herltnitting Work, and her chock apron were queenly Orna meats, and we may be proud to know that such a woman as Martha Washington sot such an admirable example to her country- women.
