thought it pretty when it was now,
and, every , body Wore such ; but new com

a perfect 'fright."
"I shall wear 6, nevertheless," answered
Emma, drawing on her gloves, "for I have
my particular reasons. You always said
that I was the oldest of mortals."
"I'm sure your present conduct does not
tend to alter Inv' opinion," said Jane.—
"Why Emma, f am really ashamed of you;
now don't go to the exhibition in such a
plight as . that; you'll make yourself
laughing stook. I shouldn't, wonder if
your friends cut your acquaintando."
"Such friendship 'as that which can be
driven away by an old fashioned bonnet,
I don't wish to possess," replied Emma,
laughing; and bidding her Sister good

in an opposite direction.
Emma Willis .smiled as she witnessed
their manoeuvres. "I shall ascertain who
aro really my 'friends," said she mentally.
Two or three other young ladies passed
her, and some only nodded distantly. At
last a bright eyed lovely girl tame bound

untal:lnivodnetiotti mitered into a lively
'conversation concerning the pictures.—
Eintnaltato(Pmodestly, her views; she was
.at,a,Cdont, admirer of beauty, and as sbe
pointed out some that won
'her `attention ' , her eYeg sparkled; and her
cheeks glowed, in spite of the old bon
'net, Mrs. Leslie could 'not help, thinking
her , very ' interesting, Mr. Mer‘ott egi- .
dently thought so too. Offering, her and
Clara each an'aria, they' walked slowly a
round the gallery; Ranging now and then
to•point out some new beauty, before un-
noticed.
"Do look ,thoro I" whispored Miss Ash

."She is really a lovely girl, only , rather

At the close of the exhibition. to the
great surprise ,of the young ladies, Mr.
Merton walked by the side of Miss Willis
until 14he reached her father's dwelling.

“I must really laugh at, you, cousin
Harry,” said the lively Miss Leslie, as she
sat with Mr. . 'Merton the next morning.—

"Now, pretend to ignorance. will yoq,

need not fear to make me your confident—
I'm only yourconsin, you know. and I'll

The young man laughed; and called
his cousin ‘.a teasing little thing." She,
however, continued to rattle on, and
would give him no peace tilkho.fairly con,-
fcssed that ha felt quite an interest in
Miss Willis.
"I do not admire your taste, eoz,"
laughed Miss• Leslie; "she certainly is very
singular in her dress. Did you think the
hat ,she wore at the exhibition was beam-.
lug ?"- , • _
"Indeed I did not notice it.," he replied,
"I am not much of a connoisseurin ladies'
dresses, I only thought of the intellectual
face beneath the bonnet."
Some, two months after this conversa
tion, Miss CliftOn and her friend Miss Ash.
ley sat together.
"Se, o Ent - ma Willis is to be married to
night," remarked the former, "and every
ono says that it will be a splendid wedding ;
how provoking that we have no invitation
I should be delighted to form the aequain
tam of the Mertens."
"We must blame ourselves," replied
'Miss Ashley, "Emilia would never have
slighted us if we had not first slighted
her."
"How sorry I am that we wore so silly,"
said Miss Clifton ;'bat I think that I have
learned'' lesson. I will never again be'
ashamed. of ,a friend because she. chalices
to wear an old fashioned bonnet." • . •
A llome.
If we were to tell a number of our
friends that they don't know what a 'home'
is, they would grow somewhat indignant—
perhaps, use hard words. And yet it may
be remarked that the number of persons,
who know what a genuine . home is, by ex
perience, is surprisingly few. One man in
good circumstances will tell us that be has
a fine house of his own, in - -which every
comfort: and tronvenience is provided. lle
has a wife and children there, also, and
they give life to the place. Very true.--
But does he prefer that, home, thus furnish-ed and thus enlivened, to every other place
in the world'? Does he sigh 'when the
hour for leaving comes., and sidle wh'eu
lie ie permitted to return ? Does he love to
sit-by the cheerful fire and fondle the chil
dren, entering into all their little, disputes
with curious interest 1' Does ho take par
. tionfar note'of the' bird in the cage, and
the eat near tho fire? If not, he has no home,.
in the deareet sense of. that dearest, of
of words. If his mind is 'altogether, ab.,
sorbed in the dusty ways of business----if
ho huiries'eway , ifroin' hinnie in the
morning, : and is loth tole:urn at night,-,if,
while ho is et borne, continues ; to think
of the journel 'and ledger, and iePulsosite
advances of the prattling children, ho haa
nohaiiie ; his only has' a plat% where he
lodges and takes his Meals.
Ali happy is he who knows and appre
ciates the full blisa of home; whose heart'
is warmed and hunianisea by its cheerful
influences, andwho feels how superior in
purity of pleasure are all its enjoyments to
thee-turmoil delights of out-door life—
Thrice happy is such a man. lie has dis
covered the only Paradise this world can
now afford. It is only such a man who
can have a deep and sincere pity for the
unfortunate creatures who are homeless
He regards them ae,being cut off from the
best influence of the earth, and exposed to
the action of the darker waves of life. lie
feels keenly for them that have no fireside
—no one to welcome him with smiles, and
prattle over the history of the day ; no
tongue to soothe when heavy cares have
-troubled the mind and rendered the , heart
sore ; and the sympathy of such a man is
not slow to overflow in acts of benevolence.
A good home is the source of the fountain
of charity in the heart.
The way to banish sin from the world
is not so much to preach as to work a
gainst it. Satan cards no- more about,
talk than a barn door does ,of trigonom-
etry ; but just show him a fierce face and
a stout muscle, and heitieitosesits will be
urEARLESS AND FitEE."
The Snake Bird.
. Alexander S. Taylor, of Monterey, in
his fantilier Sketches of the Natural His
tory of California, says that in the coast
counties 'of Southern 'California, there ex
ists a Singular specie' of bird, generally
called, on account of its well known mor
tal aversion to ;all mwhere of the snake
tribe, the ' , snake bi ", ;It is not a bird
of prey, but lives ont rely on grain, like

tip of its beak. The. tail has_four or five
long. feathers tipped w)th 'white. Its feet!
aro furnished with 'rani toes, twoln` front
and two behind, and all are guarded WW I
sharp, needle elais. MI6 color of the bird` ,
is a 'mottled. yelldwish gray, and it rarely
attains the weight of pound. Its beak is
two and-a-half inclieoLlong, and hard aid

her, having been given up, this week as lost

disolosd. The Lady Nugent belonged to
Sir George Hodgkinsou, and was chartered;
early last spring by the local Government
at Madras as a troop-ship for the conveyance
of reinforcements to the British forms at
Rangoon, the seat of the Burmese war.—
She sailed from Madras on the 10th of last
May, having previously received the troops,
which comprised 350 rank and file of the
25th Regiment of Madras Light Infantry,
twenty. women And children, with the staff
officers, among whom may be mentioned
Lieut. Col. Johnstone, Lieut. and Adjt.
Dtly; Lieut. and Quarter-master King,
Li eut.Bainford, Assistant Surgeon Simpson
and seven native commanding staff officers,
the ship's crew, Captain Bannerman, the
first, second and third officers, and 33 sea
men. Within a fortnight after her &par
turn, a frightful burrieane swept over the
Bay of Bengal, which lasted three or four
days, causing , a great many melancholy cas
ualties. There can be no doubt that the
unfortunate ship, Lady Nugent, encoun
tered that fearful storm, and subsequently
foundered, carrying with her every living
soul on board, who all perished. -
