Some mistresses, it is' true,. are scarcely able to appreciate a good and duti ful servant ; and of this class was Mrs. Smith, of I)rylaw ; a cold, haughty, mis trustful woman, who, having suffered by bad servants, had come to look upon the best of them as sordid workers for the pen ny fee. To such a person, the timidity and reserve which distinguished Jeanie Gray's character to a fault, seemed only a screen, cunningly anti deliberately assum ed ; and the pi oud distance whirls Mrs. Smith preserved, prevented her from ever discovering her error. Excepting for the sake of the children, therefore, it is nut to be wandered at that Jeanie felt no regret at leaving I)rylaw. Her destination on departing from her late abode was, as we lime already men tioned, the village of Elsington ; and it is now necessary that we should divulge a more important matter—she was going there to be married. Jeanie Gray could not be called a beautiful girl, yet her cheer ful, though pale countenance, her soft dark eye and glossy hair, and her somewhat handsome form, had not attracted a few admirers. Her matrimonial fate, however, had been early decided ; and the eircum statme.s under which it was to be brought to a happy issue, were most .honorable to GETTYSBURG, PA., FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 23,1853. both parties interested. At the age of eighteen, Jeanie's heart had been sought and won by WilliamAinslie,'a young trades man in the neighboring towns Deep was the affection that sprang up between the pair. ; but they combined prudence with love, and resolved, after binding them selves by the simple love vows of their oink to defer their union until they ehould,hare earned emnigb to mauve them* happy and: oomfintable. mune.

Let the reader, then, suppose the festive occasion over in decent order, and the newly married pair seated in their now house—their own house—at dinner, on the following day.— William had been at his work that morn ing as he was wont, and his young wife had prepared their humble and neat din ner. Oh, how delicious was the food to both. Their happiness was almost too deep for language. Looks of intense affee tiou and tenderness were its only expres- "I maun ho a truant, Jeanie; to-night," said the husband. "My comrades in the shop moan hae a foy free me, since we couldna ask them to the wedding, ye keu." , tilitrely," said his wife, raising her tim id, confiding eyes to his face, "whatever you think right, William ; I ken you are use waster, and they wad hue shewn the same kindness to you." "I hope you'll find me nao waster," re turned her husnand, smiling ; "nor am I fear'd for you turning out ano either, Jeanie, lass, though ye was sae very braw about the head last night." By the di rection of his eyes to the artificial flowers which had adorned her wedding cap, and which were lying on the top of her new stand of drawers at the moment, .Jeanie saw towhat her husbmd alluded. "Oh, •the flowers 1" said she, blush ing ; "they didna cost mo a muckle, Wil liam." The conversation of the pair was at this moment interrupted by the entrance of Mrs. Smith of Drylaw, who mentioned, with the appealmice of kindness, that, ha ving been accidently in Ellington that day, she had thought it her duty to pay a friendly visit to Jeanie and her good man. Whether curiosity had fully as much share in bringing about the visit as friendly feel ing, it matters not. Jeanie and William received her as became her rank, and the relation in which, the former had lately stood regarding her. Bread and cheese wore brought out, and she V/11s pressed to "FEARLESS AND FREE" taste a drop of the best liqup they pos Alas bow snddden are thicrevolutions in human affairs. The party* was in the midst of an amicable cenverlition when Mrs. Smith's eye happened to, be caught by the boquet on the top of Ehe drawers, soda remarkable change wap'at once oh , sereable in her manner. said she, with dip emphasis aud riaing anger, "I did not tfpect to find tpy #pwßii! lying there. hay - , not a word —I see It see it silbryett have been it,thiet.—there is thip evidertoetf it—l shall not stapapother instant jp ytmr house !"

The tiMeesiquiet woe prescreibed, and blood trithdrarrolrom the temples in eon olden hie 'quantity. For a time, these and other remedies seemed to give relief, end the poor husband never left the side of the sufferer. Indeed,— it seemed as if she could not bear hip:l4o be absent ; her ruind always reverting, when he was nut of her sight, to the idea that ho believed the charge which had been made against her, and had left her forever. The oft-repeat ed assurances to the contrary, from his own lips, seemed at length to produce conviction, for she at last was silent on the subject. But the charge—the blow— had struck too deep. Jeanie Ainslie, if we may call her by a name she was destined so short a time to bear, fell, after two or three day's illness, into a state id' stupor, which continued with short awl rare in tervals, and on the eighth day after her nuptials, her pure spirit departed. William Ainslie had showed on many occasions in life great firmness and self command; and now, though deep sailer ing was written on his brow, he made, with at least external composure, the requi site paparations for laying in the grave the remains of her whom ho had loved so long and so truly. As to retribution upon the head of the person who had been in strumental, through inconsiderate hasti ness only, it is to be hoped, in producing his misery, the bereaved husband thought not of calling for it. Yet it did come, to a certain ettent; for our errors seldom pass, even in this life, without a pang of punishment and remorse: Several days after charging the innocent Jeanie with the abduction of her flowers, Mrs. Smith of Drylaw found, by a discov ery of her new servant, that one of her younger children, impatient forthe tower ing of a rose-bush in the little garden nigh the farm-house, had lighted upon her mother's dressing-room, • and bad carried it out and stuck it upon the hush. There the flOwers were accordingly. found ; and Mrs. Smith, who was far from being au evil intentioned woman, did feel regret at buying charged the loss upon the guiltless. Ignorant of all that had passed at Elsing tOn in the interval, she determino to call at William Ainslie's on her visit to the village, and explain her mistake. Tlie call was made two days after Jean ie's denth ; and on Mrs. Smith's entering the room, she found William sitting by his bereaved hearth, with his sister•in-law and another kind neighbor, bearing him company. "Oh—by the by—those flowers !" said the unwelcome visitor, in a tone and in a manner which she meant to be condescend ing and insinuating, "how sorry I am for what happened about those flowers ! Where do you think I found them, after all ? in a rose bush in the garden, where Joni ma had put them. And now I am come to say lam sorry for it, and hope that it will be all over." William Ainslie had risen slowly du ring this i extraordinary speech ;: and, now, raising hisifinger towards his lips, he up proached and took Mrs, Smith by the band, beckoning at the same time to the two wo men who were seated with him. They seemed intuitively to comprehend his wishes, and rising, moved towards the bed, around which the curtain's were closely drawn, William leading forward also the unresisting and bewildered visitor. The women drew the curtain aside, and Ham, fixing his eyes on Mrs. Smith, point ed silently to the body of his wife, shroud ed in thccereusents of death, and lying with the pale uncovered face upturned to that heaven for which her pure life had been a fitting.preparation.

Shortly after I had arrived there she ceased the occimation in which she was engaged, and kneeling beside the tomb with upraised eyes to heaven, her fervent lips poured fourth, in ardent prayer, her !eelings and affections to her heavenly father. Raising herself from her pnsittion, saw her hang a garland of flowers upon the marble tomb stone, wrought into the words—"My Father's (;rave." These simple words, so eloquent of feeling, so full of thought, could not but add a fresh sultrily to the spot. l i BRIGHT AND CLOOlllllr this beautiful world. Indeed I know not what to think of it, Sometimes it is all gladness and sunshine and heaven itself is I not far off. And then it changes suddenly and is dark and sorrowful, and the clouds shut nut the sky.

Theu come the gloomy hours when the firewill m Wier burn in our hearts nor on our hearths : and all without and within is dismal, cold und dark.

MOTHERS, REMEMIWR TlllB.—Every loathsome inmate of Penitentiaries and state Prisons, was once a gentle, inoffen sive and prattling child; and every crimi nal who has expiated his crimes on the gallows was once pressed to a mother's breast, and drew from her bosom his life giving nourishment.

SINGUEAR PIIIINOMENON.-111 Patterson, last week, a litde girl was standing at the window before which was a young maple tree. After a brilliant flash of lightning a complete image of the tree was found im printed on her hotly. This is not the first instance of the kind, but it is a singular phenomenon.
