a desire to please him would induce her to conquer
them Nor was he wholly disappoint . d. Many of
the slighter blemishes on her character disappeared un
der the kind culture of her lover, but there was one
fault which Conrad found for a long time, abortive to
remove. It. was the Cavil habit of procrastination.
It was tine that Sophia made many resolute attempts
to conquer this habit, but her chains had been forged so
strong, That she found the task of breaking them hard
er than ever. Her old weakness constantly returned to
iiitg.tind though she , continued her struggle, they final
ly grew weaker. Unable or unwilling to persevere in
the arduous undertaking, and conscious of her lover's
disapprobation of the habit. she resorted to every means
to conceal it from his eye, so that, at length, Conrad
balm to think she was cured of a failing, as the slave
((which, he felt she could not continue to possess his
tespect, and with him respect was necessary to love.
Oae evening Conrad called on her an hour after his
usual time. It Was a bitter winter night, and the snow
Was knee-deep in the streets, hying in drifts againgt
the doors, where the wind had piled it.
"I am glad you have come., said Sophia, running
to him to assist in taking off his cloak, "far I was af
fraid something had happened to you. Where have
you been?"
"I have been, dearest;' he said, taking her hand and
leading her to the sofa which had been wheeled up op
posite to the fire, "to see a poor girl, once my tumid
'teas, who, I fear, is dying, and dying too, in the most
skeet poverty. She broke a blood vessel, yesterday,
and is very dangerous, but with care she may yet live,
the physician says. There was no fire in the bare room
when I went there, and the snow beating through the
broken penes had collected in a pile at the foot of the
bed. Oh, it was a miserable sight"—and he placed
. his hands before his eyes. At length he looked up
and resumed, "promise me you will go there to-mor
row—early to-morrow—for I said I would send one to
sae after all her wants, and you know that it would
be more delicate for you to aid her than for inc.—
Here is my purse--nay ! I must be the giver in this
case—only promise tee to go cerly, for the poor thing
might perish for want of necessary medicine and care.
I sent for wood to warm the chamber and got a poor
neighbor to sit up with her to night; but to-morrow she
must have batter help. Alas ! what misery exists. in
our city, and almost at our doors ! Yet how little do
wealleviate it."
Sophia listened with tears to this recital, and made
, ,
toseetxporeu promise. The lovers continued for awhile
to talk cf the 'offerer, and then gradually passed to
pleasanter themes. In the indulgence pf these we
leavi dime.
The-oext morning the storm raged fiercer than ever.
The wind bowled along the streets, the casement shock,
' and the snow spun and hissed in the tempest. Soph
is had not forgotten hot promise, but. looking nt her
watch after breakfast and tindiro , thl . hottr early, she
concluded to wait awhile the subsidence of the storm.
Sitting down in her boudoir she took op anew novel'
end was sour immersed in its pages. Hour after hour
passed away, and though sheotten thought of her prom
' tse and looked to the window to see if the gale abated,
yet the tempest ra.ged so violently, the book was so
fascinating, and she thought the probability of any harm
ensuing from her delay so small, that, with her usual
easy procrastination, she concludNl to wait a little
while longer, and continued rending.
At last two o'clock came, and the storm abated
The novel,-too, was finished. Sophia ordered the
carriage, and with some misgivings set f, , rth. Site bad
no difficulty in finding the miserable hovel to which
her lover had directed her.
As she ascended the steps she thought Ale heard
voices, and a sudden fear came overher, for there was
sorrow and indigation in die speakers, and among
diem she fancied she recd„ raised her lover. Filled
with remorse, she tottered up to the door and pushing
it open, saw a scene that she never forgot.
On the humble pullet lay a pale and beautiful face,
whose icy heik of repose too plainly evinced that time
countenance was that of a corpse. By die bedside
stood an aged physician, sorrow and indignation alter
nating in his face as he gazed on the dead. Near him
wasa woman, meanly attired, with her apron up to her
eyes, and weeping freely. The other member of the
group was Sophia's lover, standing with folded arms
and'a stern brow, silently regarding the corpse.
"And you tell me," said the physician turning slight
ly to Conrad, just as Sophia reached the door, "that
she promised to come here early and procure the med
icine and appliances I ordered fast night. This poor
woman 'tells me she has not been here—God help us,
had she corn`.the sufferer's life might have been saved
'Yes, your hohor,' sobbed ! he female,
her, hour after hour. but I d are not leave the bedside,
andO! ill could have got the money, or even knew
what you ordered, I'd have gone on my knees and bc; - -
glid it, the pier& suffered so. But no one came un
til my little boy returned from school, when I sent him
to find this gentleman, who by good luck, was at home.
But when you arrived she was d ?ad."
• At this instant Conrad looked up and cal ght sight
of Sophia, who stood transfixed with horror at the con
sequence of her misconduct. His exclamation at
tracted. every eye in the 3ffrllC direCtilln. As if moved
by some uncontrollable impulse he started forward,
and seizing Sophia's arm dragged bar st-ruly to the
bed-side.
"Woman, look at your work," he said, "you halve
Murdered her by being too taste."
Sophie, shuddering at the pa'e and seemingly re
proachful look of the corpse, turned away, but not da
ring toleok into her angry lover's face,sought consolation
in those of his companions. But each ret,hrded her
with the same averted look. The scene was too much
for her. She fainted.
- Who she iocovered she was lying in her own cham
ber with her parents sadly watching over her. Their

For several days Sophia hoped that her lover would
relent from hisdeterminasion, as expressed in a note
to her parents, never to visit her again. But she hoped

letter. lie could not, he said, unite his fate to one
who had trifled with a human life by her crimnal pro
crastination. Her fault he now knew to be incurable,
though he had long hoped otherwise.
And fearful as •his lesson was, Conrad was right.—
Whits, when they have become a second nature, can
saiidy, if ever be eradicated; and Sophia continued to
her dying day to procrastinate till it was TOO LATE.

ocratic friends in time, to be careful not to be deceived
by 3chem3s and frauds that ana2, be resorted to by our
opponents, just on the eve of the election. As has been
shown through thccarn?itign, they have not stopped at
any falsehood that they expected would injure the dem
ocrotic candichtes; aad we may be sure that they will
not hesitate to pry Cos in their system of falsehood
and deception, aad put forth some infamous charges,
at a time when it will be impossible to have them pro

have teemed with the lowest abuse and the most un

for Con'gress, Sheriff and 1' rothonotary, but all their
efforts to effect these gentlemen have been fruitless.—
Their last hope is in

Another matter which all goo4l democrats should
look to and frawa upon, wherever it may be found, is
a disposition which we are told some entertain of oppo
sing a portion of the ticket.. No good democrat would
be guilty of such conduct, and he who is caught at it
should be regarded in no other light than a betrayer of
the principles of the party to which he professes to be
long, an I a miserable tool of the opposition, who will
fling him off and despise him when they have no further
use fur him. We do not believe that either at the
frauds of our open enemies or the treachery of the few
pretended friends, who it is said are pledged to the an
timasonic candidates, can effect any serious injury to
the ticket, but both should be carefidly watched and
p:omptly exposed when detected.
DI3ORGINIZ.LIIO3.—We see by the Advocate that
the Blue-Nose disorgabizera hart, got out a Canal
Cuparnissioners' ticket for their own peculiar use, and
a Avry ticket it is for a small party. It i 3 ilf;
follows:
Jame: Moorkead,lndiana
H. D. King, Allegheny.
'Hugh. Mehaffe y, Lancaster.
They are all Antimasoos of the undoubted stripe,
we believe, and entirely worthy of the votes of all loy
al and true Blue-noses. It is no trouble at all for An
timasons to make tickets to 'suit themselves, as the
prompt and quiet manner in which this one was formed
will sufficiently prove. The whippable Whigs at Har
risburg were too many for Stevens, and would not let
him make a ticket for them, and thus forced the An
ties to fallback upon their own resources. This ticket
has been formed without the expense and trouble of a
Convention, and we expect it Is jest about as good a
one as could have been got up in the regular mode.—
We wonder if the vote , upon it and the vote open the
Weaver ticket will show the relative strength of
the Anticnasons and of the Whigs in Pennsylva
nia! The Whigs shmild insist on this.

lesshardcned villahr. than Roberts. Among other evi

we learn that they were both of them seen in a shed

Gov. Seward was the only "gentleman so far as oar
knowledge extends, who paid anything more than the
most ordinary attentions to Messrs. Vast Baren and

accustomed courtesy he waited on them as they passed
through Auburn, invited them to his beautiful residence,
and paid tham marked attention during their stay in
Rochester. We observed that he came upon the

with them. Such courtesies to political opponents ate
