A Story for Children %Thera was once a farina. who had a bag° field of corn ; he ploughed it and planted the corn, and harrowed and weed. „I it with great care, and. on his field he Alopeuded for the chief support of his fam ily.

Never be discouraged, children, because you can't do much. Do what you can— angels can du no more. The Inviable Bridge. No man ever dreamed so instructively, and to so good a purpose,. perhaps, as Bunyan. There is something in the no hue of dreams, though few profess to be lieve in then' that so relates them to the spiritdand, that they excite interest and at tract attention. The dreams of Bunyan have led thousands to reflection and to Beek their filial home in Heaven. What. ever is illustrative of our duty, and inspires confidence in' God, and faith in the sure promises of His word, is of abiding inter est. If the following one shall lead any body to start upon a new life by entering the narrow way, and crossing the invisable bridge, the dream will not haVe been told in vain. It is related .by 'the Rev. Mr. Ba ker, in a volume just published : "A man dreamed once that he was go ing along. in the broad road, and Satan was druggiug hint down to hell. Alarmed ho cried he cried for help, and suddenly one appeared in lovelier form saying, "Fol low intl."- Immediately Satan vanished. and in his dream the man thought he fol lowed the heaveniy one in a wait . and nar row_ way; until he came to a river. Where he-saw no bridge.. Pointing in a certain 'direction, the angel said; *Teas overthat bridge." - :611 see no bridge," said the Matt. 'iYes,thtire is a bridge, and yon must PaSS over it,-for there is no other, 'and . heaven is beyond." Looking mere narrowly, the dreamer elm whit appeared-to be .a hair extending from one bank to the other bank. "Pass over' that," 'said the angel. .0, how can 1 .1" *lid the matt, "It' is too slender and cannutstistain•rne." “It will sustain you. • Inim• above--1 cannot lie,-and I give you toy Word it will - snot:du you:" And now, 'while -the': man 'was trembling and afraid to venture, he thought Satan again siezed upon him to drag him down to - hell.. 'Urged by necessity; he put hie foot upon the bridge,.slender as it - mppeared,'''andlound - ir - tr - plankT-'-"Qaraitti;• --stantiakbridge--.and fie_ went. ovqr: safely,. and entered shouting into the heavenly Tenni, one of - the brightest.of the plan, ots, is now visible whit um naked eye in the day time,• and for two or threu tuonths to eoin it will be• increasing in brillimuoy, and may be 50011 every altortunt. . THE SOUTH CAROLINA BELLE, 011 1 WRO LOST THE WAGER. My uncle Nod lad set his heart upon marrying me to my cousin Rosalie ; hut the thing savored of compulsion to me, and I made up my mind to be just as otr stinate us the nature of the case, might demand. ' - ' I confess to being a little septimental.— I have read heaps of novels in my day, from the Children of the Abbey down to Bleak :I-louse, and the thought of hav ing my uncle . pick out my wife for me was intolerably repugnant to my ideas of propriety and to the: rights of man. . - 41: Uncle Ned was a jolly' old' fellow, and laughed iti my face when I ,told him - I could not 'think of-such a thing as permitting him to select my with for me. I looked dignified and felt fligui., fled ; and WAS not a little mortified when the old fellow haw hawed right in my face. "But, my boy, she is as rieb as mull-- with an income of eight thousand dollars a year," said he. "Think of that." "My dear uncle, I beg you will deem me above mercenary motives In so im portant a matter as this,'' I replied, with a seriousness in keeping with the soleutraity of the topic discussed. "Perhaps you don't 111000 to take a wife —die an old bachelor—eh i'". continued ' he, -punching me nailer the short ribs, as h e pe ere d out another of his abominable "guffaws." "Not so : nn tbn contrary, I mean to take a wife just as soon as I can find one exactly suited to my min d -." "And pat don ' t mean to marry a girl that has got any money r , , "That is perfectly immatt4ial, sir, as you are aware that my fortune is amply sufficient without the addition of a wife's i dowry." "Bet the money wouldn't do any harm, would it I" i'''''' . "No, I should not object to a lover who possessed the requisite qualifications, be cause she happened to have a fortune at her disposal, though in lay esti motion it would add nothing to her fitness ,to be come my wife..' "Indeed 1" drawled nrielo'Ned, looting at me with such a fetiny oxpiassion that I could not tell.whether he was going to laugh or get. toad. I didn't care much ; fur I detailed it beneath his dignity to at tempt an iuterfereuce ia such a delicate "But, Bob, Rosalie is the most beautiful girl in South Carolina.

"Your slicers will be as useless as your per:fungous ; they bloat not move "But, Bob. you know her father ear nestly dOsired that you should be married, before he died," added the uncle, more se riously. "It matters not, sir; I must be entirely unembarrassed in the choice of a wife.— Lot me tell you plainly, that, even if I had no other objection, the mere fact that you have attempted to draw me into this marriage wore a sufficient reason for we to decline it." ! you young puppy, what do you mean by that ?" “Just exactly what I say, viz : that I will neither be led or driven into mar riage with Rosalie. I think we have said enough about it." I had begun to talk a little coolly. Ile was, in my opinion, treading upuu the pre rogative of a free born citizen. What did the old fogy mean ? Did he think I hadn't sense enough to choose my own wife ? Rosalie was entirely out of the question—l' could not, ou principle, be driven into a matrimonial cohneetiou, even though the other party was an angel and had a dowry of eight thousaud Year. "Mr. Bob, listen to reason. Rosalie is handsome, and graceful, and all that sort of thing ; sings like a nightingale, plays the piano and, harp, and can talk From;11 like a Paristeune." "it manors not, sir; I object to the principle of the thing, and I rep Oat, I eau not anti will not marry her." ".1301),, you aro a fool !"

That night uncle Ned started for his plantation in South Carolina. CliArTEIt 11. MY father died three years beforo this conversation, leaving me an ample fortune. Ills tivo brothers had been in South Car olina. for thirty years, where thu father of Rosalie died, leaving my uncle Ned her guardian. 1 bad often been told that Rosalie was very pretty girl; but File had been to the North only once, and then I was trav eling in Europe, so I bad never seen her. I had written uncle Ned prowising to spend a month with Mut in the autumn. Business had called aim to Boston, where our interview occurred. Ile bad more than once expressed a de s i re th a t his brother's property might remain in the family, and pressed mo to Unite thy aid to that of his beautiful niece. This was out of the question. A "made up match" was my abomination. Cer tainly I had no other unisons fur my vio lent prejudice against the marriage. I considered it a sacred obligation to fall in love before I took a wife, and the idea of being pledged to Rosalie b,:fore I had seen her myself was so absurd that I had no patience to think of it. And then I bird a:principle for my guid ance in affairs of tlw heart, which tiliso lutely forbade me to think of su , ;lt a thing as a "marriage for convenience." The autumn came :Intl I pai.l my prepo• sett visit to uncle Ned's plantation in South Carolina. was disappointed in my cousin Rosa lie. She whs a tolerably good looking damsel, but in my opinion 'very far from being liko the beautiful creature she had been pictured to toe. "Isn't sho handsome, Bob 7" said my uncle. 'l)iil you ever see such lips, such a head of hair, such eyes; such a graceful form ? Isn't she handsome, oh, you dog'" And the old fellow punched me in the ribs, and roared with laughter till he near ly split his sides. •I couldn't for the Fie of me see what he was laughing at. "• "Isn't she beautiful, you rogue ?" he continued. "Passable," I replied very coldl!y. “Pussablo ! You puppy What, do you menu to say Rosalie is not hand sortie ?" "Tolerably," I answered, twisting off the leaf of a palmetto, which grow by the side of the bench on widen we were seated, just to show him how indifferent I was. "Ilob," said he, looking more soberly-, "I had :in idea yuu were a man of taste, but I sue you arc Su likely to lull .in love ilrotiii - Of 4eik 'ate prettiest girl in South Carolina." 1 "Who's that, undo Ned r This remark was called forth by the sudden appearance, upon she gravel walk, 01 the loveliest creature I ever beheld, and that, considering 1 have flirted with the belles of Paris, Naples and florae, is say ing a great deal. I was confounded by the sudden apparition, and springing from my scat us if an electric shock had roused the slumbering blood in my veins, I stood bolt upright be fore her. Shades of Venus ! did any one ever sec such loveliness ! such a graceful move ment ! such a divine expression ! I could neither speak nor move, so com pletely was I paralyzed by the glorious beauty of the nymph. "I didn't know there was any one here," stammered she, with such a delectable blush on her cheek, that -Linearly went mad with enthusiasm. Before I could recall my scattered senses the beauty bounded away as lightly us a fawn. "What the devil ails you, Bob? What are you starting at said uncle Ned. "Who is she ?" asked, I. clasping my hands in the rapturous excitement of the moment. •That ? Why that's little Sylphie H oward, one of llosalid's -friends, who is spending a fc4 weeks with her," he re jibed indifferently. • "Beautiful !" said I. • ''She ! Passable 1" "She is divine !" "Tolerably good looking, but she is nothing to be compared with my Ro salie.' I was about to say something saucy ; but I thought since uncle Ned really be liti'ved what he said, 1 would not hurt his feelings by denying it. At dinner 1 met both ladies, and was formally introduced to "little gylphie Howard ) ." I was pro voked with uncle when he assigned me scat next to Rosalie. I could hardly be civil to her, with such a pair of beatiful eyes before me,and I hardly ceased to gaze upon Sylphio during the hour we spent at the table. After dinner we went out to ride horse back. Uncle Ned annoyed me again by Contrivino ° so that I could help 110- Italie mount her horse, and ride by her, side, and he, "the provoking ora foe), did those offices of gallantry for Syl phie. • - "No use, old chap, you. shall lose your. bet," thought I, and I tried to be civil to my cousin. • • • „ I don't think I succeeded very I ant very sure I did but fall in love 'with' her. My eyes 'itsted ell the time upon the fair and. graceful hurts-woman who retie before me. And thus it was for a week. Uncle Ned managed . to kcep,me.by the aide' or Regalia nearly all'lf we played whist she was my partner; if we rode in the carriage she sat by toy side ; if. we 'walked, he monopolized. Sylphie and left Rosalie to tue;---and more than once the alone - together - as though, he thought, I was all ready to pop the. question, and ,liand .Itini over the thou sand.' • was discreet.

I would not have lost my divinity for all the treasure in South Carolina. I paid over the mon uy, and uncle Nod gave it to the free behools of Vt 6 State. A few weeks after we wore re-married —and I:returned to, the 'North with my Rosalie, tint most beautiful and the most loving wife that ever lighted the destiny of a wayward fellow like myself. StrtrmNo A DISPUTE.—In Dr. Clark's I life and times of Bishop Heckling the fol lowing anecdote is related : "Mr. Hedding sat between the two men, and the wife of each nut beside her hem hand. They began to talk over the sub ject of dispute, (relating to the division of some property.) when one of them sudden ly warmed up and called the other a liar, Instantly both started to their feet and rush ed at each other, the females screamed - and a general alarm ensued. . Mr. Hedding proved himself equal to the awkward em ergency. lle rushed between them; seiz tteach by the collar of his coat; and with his herculean frame and strengththeld them ut arms' length, face to face, but unable to reach each other.
