One dark, stormy liiuht, n bachelor stopped On the steps of his door, to unlock it, When, horrors ! ho found that the pass key lire! passed Through a wretched big hole in his pocket ! Dire visions of having to wander nil night, Like n pale ami dump ghost, filled hi head; Says he, "Now what steps shall I take ? For I fear I shall have to take slips for a bed V First he cave a mild rins, the servants to call, The while his forbearance he vaunted ! The wandorine cat shrieked out a fierce note, 3ut it was not that lit; that he wanted. 11c waited an hour for waiters to come, And still it poured faster and faster : No tonuuc, but the tongue of that bell can relate. How he played on one tiring like n master ! While thus wringing wet, our friend rung once mare.

Next day, when he thought his misfortunes to tell, His hostess, with hue rather heightened, Said, "Sir, I dn wish you would not ring the bell, For the servants were very mueh frightentd .'''

Not long since a lawyer closed a pathetic harangue in the following strain: 'And now the shades of night hud shrouded the earth in darkness; all nature lay wrapt in solemn thought, when the three defen dant ruffians came rushing like a mighty tor rent from the hills down upon the abodes of peucc; broke open the plaintiff, door; sepa rated the weeping mother from her screeching infant, and took away my client's rille, gentle men of the Jury, fur which wo churgc Jijiecn dollar: An Ft wore of lk iinm.

The text was upon the terror of the gospel, as denounced gainst sinners, to prove which the preacher referred to several passages of scripture, to all or which the lady termed very attentive, but somewhat agitated ; Burns, on perceiving this, wrote witli a pencil on a leaf of her bible the following lines : 'Fair maid you need not take the hint, Nor idle text pursue : 'Twas only sinners that he meant, Not angels such as you." The virtues flourish best in the ionu ot a com mon wealth, where each is required to till its proper place, ami it expected to do no more. II V JAMt'S) K. I'All.OINO, AI'TIIOU OP "THE DITCH MAN'S) FIBIIINO,'' F.1V. Shortly nflcr the conclusion ol the late war, a gentleman, distinguished ns a scholar, a wit, and a politician, who stood high in the walks ot literature, and had risen to the most dignified of fices by his talents nud worth, was proceeding np the Mississippi in one of (he first steamboats that ever plied on tho bosom of that mighty stream. Uc was a self-made and self sustai ned man, somewhat past the period ot blooming youth ; but his parson was striking, his coun tenance highly intellectual, his manners polish ed hy intimate intercourse willi society, his voice exceeding melodious, and his eye capa ble ol discoursing most eloquent music. During the course of the voyage , which was not iu the most favorable season of the year, he be came gradually indisposed, and finally so ill that, at his own request, he was put on shore at one ol'llie little old French villages, between the mouth of the Ohio and St. Louis, whose size beitrs no proportion tot heir uge, and whose growth is so slow Unit, lika the current of a stagnant stream, it is next to impossible to tell whether they are advancing backward or lor ward. The agitation of rcinovul, and the hent of a summer day, so aggravated his disease, which was a billions fever, that he became par tially delirious, and, being without a servant might have fared but indifferently, a stranger in a strange place, had not an elderly ludy, who happened to be looking out ot a neighboring window, been charitable enough to have him conducted, or rather carrid to her house. Here he was placed in n bed, and immediately atten ded by a physician, who administered to him so successfully that his delirium hud subsided into one oft hot c low desperate fevers so harrassing to the constitution, so difficult to cure His returning conscience disclosed to him the form of one of those ministering angels cal led woman, sitting it his bedside, as if awaiting an opportunity to present his medicine, or per form some kind office. The sick traveller at first took it for a vagary of his brain, but after rubbing his ryes and gazing awhile, recog- nied a female with a cap such as French attendants, generally wear, a plain gown, and a black silk apron, with a sweet, gentle, and ex pressivc face, apparently bearing the impression of deep solicitude. Perceiving him to be awake, sha inquired, in a voice of exquisite melody, if he wanted any thing. Instead ofnnswering the question, the sick man, whom I shall call Hart land, though that was not his rra! name, asked two or three others, in a low feeble tone 'Where nm I and who are you V 'You are in St. , and I urn oor Gene vievc, your servant can I do uny thing for you, sir ' O, a nurse they have provided for me, I sup- M.se, thought Hartland, I shall therefore stand on no ceremony "villi her, 'My good girl, I will thank you for a glass of something to uucneli mv thirst I uiu buriiinir m. I be liove." Cencvieve look his hand, nud, after bidding it a little while, laid it softly dowu on the bed, saying, ns if to herself, 'It does indeed burn like fire. The touch of her hand was so sort, that Hartland could tell that she pitied him with all her heart. At this moment the physician came, ana our traveller recognized iu him an old acquaintance, a senator whom he had known at W usliniL'ton. anil a very eminent man in his profession. He felt extremely gratelul nt ha ving so gentle a nurse, and so able a physician. Yet his recovery was so slow thut itdid nogteut credit to either nurse or doctor, for it was near ly six weeks befurc his lever was fairly broken During thut lime he relapsed more than once, and there were periods when all, and himself among the rest, despaired of his recovery. Day nud wight Genevieve was his attendant, we micht almost say his "urdian angel. It' he o pened Ii in languid glassy eyes in the day, tho was sitting by his bedside ; uud il he asked for any thing at night, he was administered to by her gentle hand, and soothed by her gent'e voice. At such lime ho was occasionally puz zled by a vague perception that he had some where seen her before ; but it passed away, like a dream, w hen, with all his efforts, he could neither recall the time nor the occasion. More than once ho thought be saw her wiping tears from her eyes, as he awakened from his miser able intervals of partial oblivion ; but he ended in being convinced, that it was n mistake, since what was she to him or he to her. Genevieve hud said she was his nurse. 'Poor Genevieve, she was therefore hired for her services, and her attentions were to bo repaid in money. Still his soul could not resist the sacred iuipulso of gratitude, and he promised before his maker that, whether he lived or died, he would make her ample amends. At length he became- convalescent, and, in proportion us he recovered, Genevieve gradu ally relaxed in hrr attendance, which wus now simnlicd by a male servant. Hartland was the soft voice, and gentle, compassionate Uok of Genevieve 'I suptose her month is tip,' thought he in a pc, 'and she is waiting to be engaged (or another.' Still Genevieve came sometimes, though not so often as before ; and Hartland, being now recovering troma state of almost infant helplessness, began to study her a little more attentively. There was something about her that puzzled him. Though dressed like a waiting maid, her appearance and demeanor did not seem to belong to that class, and, in the conversations he had with her, she discovered a well cultivated mind, stored with that polite information becoming in a well- bred woman. Every thing she said or did ex hibited a quiet lady liko simplicity and deco rum. There was also something in her deport ment toward him so different from that which usually exists betw een the nurse and the pa tient, that Hartland, half the lime, did not know how to behave himself. He sometimes insisted on her being sealed, hut she always declined with a look of humility that sank into his heart. At first ho was puzzled, next interested, and fi nally there stole into his heart one of the sol lest of all possible feelings, for Genevieve, com pounded of full-grown gratitude and new-born love. One day while the doctor was with him, it suddenly occurred to Hartland to imp-ire where ho was, how he came there, and, most especial- y, to whose kindness he was indebted for such benevolent attentions, hinting at the same time that ho presumed it was ll.e doctor w ho had in terposed in his behalf. You arc mistaken, 'replied his friend; 'I knew nothing of your situation till I found you here.' t Indeed ! and how came I here V . i 1 will tell you, for you ought to know, in or 'What do yon mean by that doctor !' 'Nothing,' aiir wcrcd he, as ho departed with nuulher significant smile. Hartland fell into a reverie. The words, 'she is paid for hrr attendance,' grated harshly on Insert is. He wi.-licd it had been voluntary, for then he could have ascribed it lo some mo tive that would have llallered his scll-love, or to do him justice, appealed to his grutiludo and ull'ections, and merited a ilitlerenl acknowl edgement thnu mere sordid money. He tried hard lo persuade himself that lie owed poor Ge nevieve nothing but her w ayes, while his heart told Ii ii ii that such attentions ns she had paid him could never be bought w ith gold.' lui w hut could the doctor menu by his mischievous smiles, and the equivocal phrases of 'she will accept ol nothing from yon, but what you will not perhaps be w illing to bestow on her !' Hart- lund could mako nothing of this, nud became buried in a perplexity of thought, from which ho was roused by the steps ol 'Genevieve, who entered the nxiin w ilh slow timipity, nud ask ed, in trembling accents, niter his health. 'I am quite well, dear Genevieve, thanks to your blessed kindness, which I can never repay.' 'My wages arc already paid,' answered she, w ith apparent simplicity ; 'and' now thut you arc quite recovered, I am going away, I came to bid you farewell, lo express: my wishes for your liappiiicsi, anil loask of you something to remember poor Genvieve.' There was something exquisitely touching in her voice, her look, and the dewy lust le of hereyes, as she pronounced these words, which entered the very soul of Hartland. Genevieve,' said he, 'sit down by me, and hear what I am going to say. Nay, I insist up on your being seated, for you hae much lo hear, rniE9 or aiwiihtisikg.

She is a ward of mine, or rather was, for she is now of age, and might have married long ago, but for a singular scruple which she encouraged at the risk of passing the remainder of her life in single blessedness.' Ah !' rejoined Hartland, who found himself not a little interested about the heiress ; 'ah, and what may this scruple be V She imagines, or lather fears, it is her great possessions Ihnt attract so ninny admirers w here- ever the goes; nud faith, notwi'.hstanding her beauty and accomplishments, she is probably in the right. She is waiting lo lie loved for her self ttlutic, and from being almost always sur rounded by frivolous or interested admirers, bus contracted a sort of contempt, it not aversion, to men, which in spite of the feminine gentleness, not lo say tenderness, of tier disposition, displays itself in an uniform indiflereuce, if not haughti ness, toward almost all those who aspire lo hrr good graces. She once told me she never saw but one mat) tow aid whom she fell almost ir resistibly nttacheil, and he treated her as if she w us in body. ' 'I should like to sec her,' answered Hartland, j lor, independent of the obligations I owe her, she must be something of a curiosity. Such humility is not often coupled w ilh wealth, beau ty, and nccompli-diniciiti-. Hut you hnve not yd lold me how I came to be here.' 'You were seen by a gnd old aunt who re sides with a young ludy, and w ho happened to be looking out of the w indow as you were lan ded, in a slule of partial delirium. She appri sed Mademoiselle de F ol I ho cir'.-uiiistance, who immediately gave directions lobave you brought here.' Upon my word, I ow e her obligations -vhich I can never repay.' 'That is more tliau you knu'.v, slid the doctor, smiling. '1 should, however, at least, like to thank her. Where does she hide herself! How happens il 1 have never by any eliuuce seen or heaid her voice 1 and w hen will she permit me to ex- nrr niv irr:l 1 1 1 lull. !'

The doctor then rose to depart, when llait laud, withadegieo of hesitation which suipii- sed himself, and the color rising in his pale cheek, asked But, doctor, now 1 think of it, who is tho gentle, kind attentive nurse, to whom, I verily believe meaning no reflection on your skill 1 am indebted for my recovery. I owe her much, and you must put me in some wiy ot ex pressing my obligations.' 'She is paid for her attendance,' replied the doctor, caiclcssl. 'and will accept of nothing from you, except what you will uot perhaps be , I , litilo hurt at this, and indeed .criuujly mibocd I willing lo bestow uii her you lo be seated while you are standing. ' 'It does not become one like me to be sented iu the presence of one like yon,' replied Gene vieve, in a low ami dinning voice oi ueep nu mility, as Hartland with respectful violence compelled her. to place hcrsell by his side on the sofa. 'Genevieve,' said he, 'you have saved my I tie ; is their a wishof your heart ungrntified, anything within the power ot man to do that will contribute to your happiness, or that of any one dear to you ! If there is, I here pledge the soul w Inch was bestowed on me by my Maker, and the life which you hnve preserved, to do what man can do lo repay, ns far as pos sible, obligations that can never be cancelled.

'MY happiness docs not depend oil wealth or benefits. I can ne epl nothing from you ex Cfpt except your kind remembrance. I urn already paid my wages, and my object was simply w hat I said. I came to Iml liirevvcll and wish you health and happiness.' She was rising lo go, hut llaitland detained her. 'Genevieve, you do not, or will not compre hend me. I I jvc vou, sincerely, tenderly, faith, lully. 'And you prove it hy thus insulting me.' 'Insulting you, Genevieve ! I hi you like me for such a wretch! Is such a declination iii suliii'g !

Aguin she n.ndo hit l I'm I lo leave him, but llarlland detained her. -In the name of Heaven, what do you n.tan, Genevieve ! what do )u suspect, thai you thus rcproacti me with insulting ainl degrading you !

Those alone who have seen Hartland in the halls ot legislation mow ing dow n hearts with his irreMrtahle eloquence, can judge of the ef fect of lus words on Genevieve. Tell me lell me, Genevieve,' added he, what you think and what you liar.' Are you not the great orator, statesman, au thor !

'I would make you my wife,' cried llarlland with a tone and expression that could not be mistaken. 'My dear, dear wife, to live with me and lie my love forever.' W hat, poor Genevieve !' almost shrieked she. '.Me your nurse your servant your ' 'Preserver !' interrupted Hartland, 'Yes, I would ensure the hnppinees of my future life, by sharing it with one who, in her humble garb nnd humblu occupation, has proved to me that neither grace nor dignity, virtue nor refine ment, is confined to any situation of life, or de pendent on wealth nnd splendor. ill you consent to trust your happiness with me ! Will you be mine forever V 'Arc you really in enrnest !' faltered she, with tears nnd trembling. 'What, poor Genevi eve !' 'Poor Genevieve ! arc you not rich in vir tue, graced nnd beauty ; and is not such a heart nud mind as yours worth all the wide lands and rich mines of your mistress, whom I am yet to see and thank for her kindness V Yes, 'Poor Genevieve,' I rm iu enrnest serious and so lemn as a man can be at the moment when the happiness of his lite hangs on the decision of a moment.' Genevieve wept as she reclined on his shoul der for a few moments, then started away be fore he was aware of her intention, and, turn ing toward him as she retreated through the door a fice full of inexpressible tenderness, ex claimed 'You shull see mc again and receive my answer.' Hartland did not know exactly what to make of all this. Hut he had fell the heart of Gene vievc throb against his side, and seen her part ing look. Neither could be mistaken, nnd he remained in the happy anticipation that all would end as he wished. From this, in the lapse of some hour or two, he w as roused by the entrance ol Genevieve in her bonnet and cloak, who delivered a message from Mademoiselle de F , purporting that she desired to see arms, and impi inting on her lips the first, sweet est kiss of love. How can I ever repay you tor your gentlo enres and noble generosity lo a stranger V at length he said. 'I5y always remembering and loving poor Ge nevieve. Jut you are not eo much a stranger as you think. No one in this w idc land is igno rant of your name ; but I 1 am an old ac quaintance.' 'You, Genevieve !' Yes. I see I must humble my vanity, by in troducing iriysell to your notice. Do you re member travelling North about nine years ago, aud accidentally falling in company with tloi family of Mr. M. , a Creole gentleman. consisting of his w ile nud his neice, a little girl scarcely eleven, and very small for that ngo ? Yes well, I was that little girl ; but you know it is the fashion among us to consider tiny w o men like me not as angels, hit nobodies. I wos not named to you, nor uo 1 know that you ever heard me called by any name but Jenny. At all events, you took no othcruotice of me than sometimes to pat my head in passing, and onco I shall never forget it you stooped down and gave me a kiss, in sport. I had often heard you poken of in terms that called forth my admira tion, aud that kiss was never forgotten. You don't know how early tho flower begins to bud in our spting. We parted, you to forget, I lo remember you forever. 11 knew you the mo ment you were brought hither ; and now you have my history. This humble person and all that I inhcret is yours, and, be assured, 1 will forgive your infidelity should you forsake your humble nurse, poor Genevieve, for her mistress 'Forsake poor Gonevievc !' cried Hartland. When I do, may my tongue become mute, nnd my mind a desert. No ! dearest girl, I must be without memory and without gratitude, when I forget her who hovered, and watched, aud sometimes wept was it not so, sweet Ge nevieve t over the dark days and nights of my pain and weakness, and whom I more than once imagined I must have known iu some pre vious state of existence, for 1 could not divest myself at times of the impression that I bud somewhere seen you before. No my beloved one, should you ever, in our journey through, I ;fe, perceive, or fancy you perceive, any di minution ofinylovt, you have only to dress and look as you did at my bedside, and become poor Genevieve ngnin, lo retrieve my heart, once more a;id forever.' 'Ah mc !' exclaimed she, 'I Bee I must make, up my mind to always having a formidable ri val. Bull will try to reconcile mysell to the ca lamity, and be c. intent lo bhare your heart with poor (Jeuevieve.' Just nt this moment the doctor enme in, nnd seeing how mntlers stood, at the first glance, began gond-huniorodty to banter his friend. 'Well, Hartland the mystery is disclosed, I perceive, ion hrM. tell in love with the nurse, and hnve deserted her for the mistrcsi. Tho exchange is very sensible, judicious and pru dent 'It is no exchange, divtor. She piiall alwuyj be poor Genevieve lo me the object ot iny unchanging love and eternnl gratitude.' Genevieve looked at the doctor wilh a smilrs of proud consciousness, which he returned with one of approving affection. The good doctor passed trom Ibis world but a little while Bt nud when he died, tho siitlerin victims of po verty, disease nnd sorrow, lost their moat be nevolent friend his country, one of her mo.-t noble citizens. He united the courage ot n he ro with the eotlne;- of a Woman, Hiid joined tin) moat dowlcd uttKchmcnt to his unlive laud, with n generous, enlarged philunthrophy that Comprehend d nil mankind. He was tlio friend ot the human race, but his countrymen were his bi others. Genevieve nnd Hartland still survive1. Tho former has never hnd any cause to regret b r experiment on the disinterestedness ol'mahkim!; and the latter, w Into steadily pursuing a lotty career of honorable aiubilioii, blesses the h"iir when he yielded to the dictate of love nnd gratitude. If at any tiuie he seemed to forego the delight of mutual ciitidi nee, and the en j.ytiients of domestic hnppines.-, in tlio high him, if he fell himself strong enough to leavo his room. Hartland sought to detain her a moment, for Ihe answer she had promised. But she only re plied with a look und accent he could not com prebend. -You will receive it soon from my mistress,' 'Pahaw ! exclaimed he in a pet, 'what care I for your mistress !' 'Hut yon mut care for her, nnd love her too, for she is far more worthy ofyour heart than Poor Genevieve.' 'If I do may my ' 'I lush! do not swear, lest you should for swear yourself the next minute.

Genevieve did not renlv, hul led him into a capiicious apartment whuse w iiidows, reaching lo the lloor, opened on a terrace overlooking a liitle nver that skirled green lawn, as it coursed its way lo eternal oblivion iu the bosom ol tin; great father of waters. No one was lucre to leeeive him, and Genevieve immedi ately left the room, merely saying, 'I w ill lell my mistress you are here.' He remained a few minutes looking out on the scene belbie him, but unconscious of its loveliness, when ho was roused by ihe opening of a dour, and turning round p recived a female advancing- with hesi tating step and head inclining toward the eiith.
