Some .Greek name, which I Have forgotten, no
we seldom tried to pronounceit. Almost all
the young:gel:lgen:ion , of the place wego mem-.
ber.S . ot- it, and-sharpened their wits during the
winter by weekly contests with each other.—
At the close of the season, they usually bold
a public debate, to which. the ladies were es
pecially invited. The subject announced for
discussion, upon the only meeting which I-at
tended, was whether,,,, ,, intellectually consid
ered, women. are equal to meth!'
I presume this topic was chosen out of re
•spest te the fairer part of the audience; and
it was ono too generally interesting not to
oommond a full attendance. Every bench in
the large ball was crowded with ladies, in their
prettiest array. Many of the gentlemen were
obliged to stand during the Whole evening ;
others encroached upon the seats resertied fcr
the speakers, or gathered round the platform.
Some of lbe disputants, •, unaccustomed to
public speaking," were thrown into such great
conste-n aim]
,by finding themselves gazing
down upon so many - bright eyes and rosy
ficheoks, that, after stammering out a sentence.
.Lot two, they fled precipitately down from their
hying elevatio'n, to bide themselves .among
their companions. .All, these, lam happy to
observe, were on the negative'side of the ques
tion.
Those who spoke in the affirmative had too
good an opportunity to pay the ladies high
flown and astonishing compliments not to im
prove it. One of theta, I remember, compared
women to " the moon careering Hie a storm
through the firmament, and throning light on
the orb beneath."
I doubt much whether
" That white•orbed maiden, - -
With bright fire laden,
Whom' mfrtals call the moon, "
was ever known to forget the usual serene
majesty other slow progress through the sky.
in so surprising a manner; but I am' afraid it
is but too true that woman, especially in these
latter days„, does sometimes '• career like a
storm.' l •
There was
j an inconsistency in the bestowal
Of applause that my rigid sense of justice re
belled against. The gentlemen, on whom this
duty devolvaby long usage and faithful per
formance, clapped and stamped with the most
gallant and generous forgetfulness of their
hands or boots, whenever any particularly fe
liolthus compliment to the ladies was -uttered ;
oven the slightest hint in that direction, or
flattering allusions, met with ready sympathy
and approval ; while all the speeches in - the
negative were heard in the most profound and
depressing silence. My feelings of compassion
were-quite moved for the poor unfortunates
who had chosen no unpopulnr.a side. If it
had not been for my strict ideas of propriety,
and my timidity, and my thin bootspand very
- tight French gloVes, I would have given them
rclittlo encouragement myself. I had the heart
to do it, but there were too..many obstacles in
•the way. •
Yet - when the decision was pronounced, and,
though all the -beet spehkers and best argu
ments had been in favor of Heaven's best
gift," it was given against the sex,lhe'room
rangnail shook again -withthe' clamorous rip.,
probation with the sentence was reeeiv
'Oa 4 It'ivasa,Pntitian arrow shot at us; and,
coming nt:n moment when we were looking for
victory, the surprise utterly routed us. I have
never ngain, I hope, wasted so Uselessly my
stock c-f sympathy. .
The evening of this particular speaking was
rendered memorable, in Louden, by.an, event
which occurred just after the performance.—

it' was all ho asked. They ,would not grant.

How he dreaded the sight of her ! He had
walked miles, plunged into alleys and lanes
when they were in a state of mud that render
ed them almost • impasiable, and darted into
• his friends' offices' or stores, and aTIN,to avoid
the good, gossiping,•little Miss Parker.•
But Lis hour was come ; and, in one second,
he was drawn so deeply into love that all as
siSteeec; .was in wilt]. Perhaps my younger
readers would like to, know exactly hoiv and
when the deed was done.
The debate was ended. The after
having been raised to the sevatith heaven, and,
•dashed so suddenly to the earth again, were
gathering themselves together with a most
wonderful unconcern and lightness of spirit—
proving of witnt, elastic material they wet°
made—and discussing the. merit's of the sev
eral speakers. Some remark was uttered that
InTega - ti thought amusing, and tille laughed.—
That, low, sweet laugh, like the silvery tink-L
hugs of a'musical box, struck upon Mr. Camp
bell's earns the pleasantest sound be had ever
heard.
He was standing near hot ; for, though he
avoidedall mixed society, where any of the
burden of the entertainment tight fall to his
share, he_ rather affected orowds and assem
blies, where he could,he allowed to remain a
mere-listener and observer. - Attracted by the
laugh, ho turned to discover from whom it,
proceeded, and saw a fresh, delicate young
noe,"whose dimpled cheeks and parted lips
confiuned the sweet ctsurauce_the voice , bal_
given ; and the unconscious Imogen completed
her first conquest. Yet she was not femarka
bly pretty. There were many handsomer
girls in Louden. It was the dovelike expres
sion, that innocence and amiability gave her
aco, that made her so attractive. •
-- The - next — eVenink
O Mr. Campbell annoiikeed his intention of
atending. His aunt was amazed, for ho had
si'cildfastly refused all former invitations and
entreaties.
,She was astonished, toe, -wheat's.—
came down and prepared for the evening, to
see how well ho looked when carefully dressed,
for ho was generally very negligent in his at
tire.
" Why, John," said she, '" I had no idea
you were so good-looking!" - -
Ho seemed quite pleased, but said—
" Ddn't yoit think,,Aunt Alen , tho barber
outs hair shockingly ? It seems to me mine
never looked so badly ; and my coat fits dread
fully; I am going down to New Orleans to get
me..a now one as soon as I can." •
"Al, ha! Somebody has made an impres
sion on that flinty heart of yours. Nothhig
less could work such a change. Who is it,
John? Is it Imogen Edwards?"
The color rose to his forehead as ho re
plied—
"Can't a man go to a party NVithout his
bong in love, Aunt Ellen? And, of course:
if I do go, I want to look c rest of the
people. To tell the truth, though," he con-
thine°, after a moment's pause, " I do think
her the prettiest girl 17have . ever seen, beautir
ful in fact ; and I wish, aunt, that you would
contrive to introduce me to her. But I have
seen so little of ladies lately that I have for
gotten how to talk to them. I haven't the
first Idea on-the subject. I have been puzzling
my head about it all the afternoon. If ! could
begin, I could go on; I am sure. Couldn't
you help me out a little?"
. Those are perplexities that meet with very
little sympathy, arid his aunt only laughed at
him, and amused herself by 'proposing all
kinds of absurd'and ridiculous remarks, with
which ho might, at least, nstoniSh - the young
lady. Ile listened patiently for awhile, in
hopes of hearing something "that might be
useful, but at last heleCame a little indignant
at being made a source of amusement, for he
Was very much in earnest..
"I will ask - her to dance," said he.
" Don't, Jthn, I entreat you ; you know
nothing about dancing, and you will commit
a hundred blunders, you are so short-sighted.
Besides; your parents disapptove of it so much;
I do not know what they „mould say if they
saw you on the floor." I .
" I .think, aunt, they' should have allowed
me to learn dapoing. Every gentlenian ought
to be familiar with all those accomplishments
that will make him feel at ease in society." ,
" Well, John, there is no' use in reasoning
with a: man in love. In one short night you
are entirely changed. I suppose you have
forgotten how often•you have amused yourself
at the expense of 'rational people, with souls,
'spending whole evenings in moving their feet
about-to a tune =aped by untutored 'flaws
out of some, poor fiddle.' Those were your
very words. I thought them quite fine at the
time. ' But littledid I expect to soo my 801391.

It is very easy to, laugh, Aunt Ellen, tilt
that same nephew, now looking at society
from nnother:stand-point, says, and it is one
of hie most ,sensible remarks; that if people
wish to go into society without feeling intoler=
ably awkward they:xnuet comply with
its customs."

lichieVed,,in five Mitiiifes, the entire breaking
up ot the:cotillion; from his' reckless deterini
nation to follow Imogen through 'everything.
If it would have given his mother a pang to
know that lie' bad danced,' it made his aunt's
heart ache to see how be did it. '
' Imogen retreated to her mother's ilde cov
en& with confusion: She 1911.8 seilsitive,
rind, .with tlie. exaggerated importance the
young attach to such little mortifications, she
imagined" herself an' object of 'ridicule and
amusement to the whole roim. She refuted
to dan"Ce any more that i * ?Tening,end told her
friends the next day that " alto could not en

never See him agtiin." , " -

Mr. Campbell, unused to 'reading the signs,
slight, but, umnistalmble; i ol a NI ettan's prefer,
once or dislike, did not pereeiro her displeas
ure. It passed army, jnlsorne degree, after a
time, &it the first unfavorable impression re
mained.
Mr. Campbell was constant in his attentions,
and spent seiet'aliniserable eyeitin . gs with her,
when lorig passtigeii of i:ilence'..were brokSn
DOW and then by spasmodibattempts4it con
versation, Sometimes he would . go home quite
sad and desponding; at other. times some lit
tle word or expression raised him' to the sum •
mit of felicity; his general impression was
that he was "coming on"'
puce, as he was leaving,the room, she said
"Adieu!" with a pretty Fiench accent.. This
kept him awake — all night: He repealed the
word over end over, trying:to catch the very
tone in which she had spoken it, and there
was no moaning of which it was susceptible
that ho did not extract from it. •
• • _ _
TOlumes might be filled with the imaginary
da . ngers from - which ho had rescued -her, and
the distress and sorrow from which ho shielded
her. „ • .
'One very stormy' morning he was indulging
in these day-dreams, sitting in his study chair,
- Gy - thefire in Lis office. The - .wedding was
over;- the house was bought and furnished,
Find she, the idol of .his heart, ..transformed
from the shy - maiden ttat.-- lie' was half afraid
of, to the busy little -wife,-with--a-basket-of
keys in her hand, was just saying, .. What
shall we have 'for dinner, Jchnl" in the most
Matter of course way. I.loi,;'stOeped to brood
over the question for a momwnt . ;--That 4 . we,"
implying suctr a unity of interest—the famil
iar calling him by his name, the household
mature of the question—filled his heart with
more pleasant reveries than all-the poetry ho
.had ever read. Ho .almost forgot that it was
not real; when, glancing towards the window,
he saw Imogen hurrying by without an um
brella, although the rain was falling in con
tinuous streams rather than drops. It seemed
as though the clouds had been seized with a
. hydropatbie mania, npd were determined to
give the world-and the poor atoms toiling on
its surface, a douching (which is nothing but
a German way of spelling ducking.)''
Mr. Campbell, distressed at the thought of
the delicate Imogen being caught in such a
storm, and delighted at the prospect of being
of use-to her, seized his hat and umbrella, as
he supposed, and ran . after her. She was
walking very fast, and was already some dis
tance from his' office, but,,,ho overtook her at
last.
Mies Imbgem let MO offer you my um
brella."
For once sko was really ple'ased to see him.
She looked round with a smile, saying—
" Thank- you." The smile changed to a look
full of mirth'and wonder. "Do you call that
an umbrella, Mr. C.anipbell?"
Ills attention directed to it, ho perceived
that ho hold his cane upraised, umbrella fash
ion, in his hand. lle was too much confused
to speak.
"I do not think that will afford mo much
protection, Mr. Campbell ; good morning,"
and Imogen hurried on.
no returned to his office quite out of, pa.-
donee with himself. Ho called himself an
"absent-minded idiot," and by every other
opprobrioug epithet he could find ; walked up
and down the room with.,Lurried strides, then
threw himself 'into a chair, clasping his fore
head with his hand., If any one had observed
him, they might have been justified in suppo
sing4hat he bad committed some crime, in
such c iliSOess did ho appear. ,
At last lie took refuge in regding Byron:—
"I have not loved tho world,•nor tho world
me,"
touched a sympathetic. chord in, his heart.
But, happening to light upon—..
" Oh that the desert were I:14' dwelling place,
With one fair opirit.for my minister!"
he wont off into reverie again, and, after med
itating for some hours, resolved to talte'the
first opportunity to decide his fate.
The next morning he reoeived a letter which;
on opening, hO found to boa very spirited and
anineindindictment, in verse, accusing him of
an attempt to commit assault and battery on
a lady in the public square.
"heat thou found me, 0 mine enemy I". he
groaned, as ho recognized the writing of Tom
Jessup, the wittiest man in Louden,,and ;one
who never allowed a good story to bo,forgot.
•
lie Irad'hoped that hishltinder had not been
observed, but ho 'knew too well that'oonceal

together in sccial meetings, and . generally
.contrived to be out when he called.
'$ Several weeks passed by, and, during all
that time, Mr. Campbell had found it impos
sible to obtain even ten minutes' conversation
i with Imbgen, One beautiful moonlight eve
ning he took his flute, on which he played de
lightfully, and.went,out to serenade the "star
of his night." For more than half an hour
the dulcet tones of his instrument floated on
the night air, and, tranquillized and soothed,
he was still playing away vigorously, when

Ile returned home, not in despair, but-in
desperation ; and, his tumultuous feelings,de
mandink some expression,,he seized a pen,
and found himself, to his own great astonish
ment, suddenly possessed of a poetic power of
which he had supposed 'himself utterly defic
ient. He wrote several verses full of aidor
and passion, and which were truly remarkable,"
not only from the facility with which they
were written, but from their concentrated
power and strength of expression'. It was his
first and last attempt at poetry; for his feel
ings were ne'ver again wrought to .so high a
pitch as to force from him such burning words.
He did not send the verses to liaogen, US he
had intended. Cooler reflection determined
him to keep them till the interview, which he
was anticipating with so much trembling hops .
and fear, had taken place.
Not long after his attempted serenade, he
met her again at a party. - Most unfortnnate
ly, as ho thought, whenever he asked her to
dance, she was-engaged.- He did-not'imagine
that she had made an arrangement witlca
good-natured cousin of iTii to be at her com
mand for that evening, that she might with
truth plead a previous engagement. - He asked

to the night air. olliptado numerous efforts
to obtain an oppoitiety for a tele-a-We, b u t
in vain. At last he took refuge by Miss Par
ker's side, whose nieeo and namesake Imogen
was. This relationship, had gradually over
eomo Mr. Campbell's old dread and dislike of
her, - and he now oftin - found himselhseeking
her society when his own Imogen was inac
cessible.
The time for_the breaking tip . of the party
arrived. The ladies were in:the dressing
room, up stairs; the gentlethen'—hat in hand
—waiting in the passffge below. That odious
cousin, whose obliging disposition had already
aroused the demon jealousy in Mr. Campbell's
heart, was standing near the staircase. Mr.
Campbell took his station a little in advande
of him, at its very foot.
Many ladies passed in review before him,.
and disappeared with their attendant cavaliers;
but InMgen still delayed her coming. At last
ho heard an affectionate' "good-night, "mo
w," followed by a kiss,' and two ladies oume
hastily down the'staircese. The cousin stepped
quickly forward, so did Mr. Cainpbell; "Will
you take my arm, Miss 'mow I" said he, to
the first lady.
Dorn and brought up in Loudon, Miss Par
ker was oftener called, even yet, by her first
namq than her last; so, without being sur
prised—for, lately, 31i•.:Campbell had been
unusually attentive to herLshe accepted the
offered arm, and they went out in the starlight
together. His mistake was not So strange,
either; for there was that general resemblance
between the two linogens, in height and air,
that relationship often gives, and their evening
wrappings almost hid their . faces. ' :
They bad but a short distance to walk, and
Mr. Campbell know ho had no time to lose ;
he plunged at ones into the midst of his con

long and how ardently ho had loved her.

• " Dear me I dear me ! I am really afraid
for him," thought liitlo MisaDariter; - .
" And now will you not speak to no ono word
of encouragement ?" , .
"Indeed, Mr. Campbell, you have taken me
so by surprise that I don't know exactly. what
to say. 'Don't you think the difference of our

They wore standing by the door. IHr. Camp

turn it till his fate was decided. ,He flung the
door wide open, gave one searching glance at
the lady's face, as the light froni the hall lamp
fell on it, and, without a word, sprang down
the stops and out the -gate. Ho, passed Imo:

For COMO title post wo have been regaled

60,000. strong ; 'of captures of cities; of de

when news comes to us that the great city of
Nankin, with a population of about four hun
dred thousand souls, has been reduced to sub

From this it would seem that the overthrow
of an Empire niay be the result ere long, dis

England and tho United States therewith.

The revolution has boon of several years
growth,, and the London Times, in its history
of it says : . .
• The rebel army adv . ,anced by-slow degrees,
and with incessant fighting“llam the southern
provinces, steadily gaining ground, and aug•
menting their own forces not only by the vol
unteers 'laterally attracted to a successful
case, but by compulsory levies from the dis
tricts through which they passed. In Novem
ber last they hadgot to Woo-ohang the capital
town of the central provinces, standing on the
groat river Yang tseo, the Tagus of China; from
which important position they could descend
upon Nankin, distant from the river some 600
miles. At this time their army was computed
I to exceedo 60,000 men, and it was thought
that the Emperor could not array against them
'anything like an equal force. Our reports,
Indeed, informed us at that time the utmost
uonsternation was prevailing at all the towns
between Woo-chang and the capital, nor will
the reader, not Withstanding the lack of inter
mediate details, find 'any difficulty in now
comprehending the despatch to the effect that
"Nankin he \ ll fallen into the bands of the re
bels on the 19th of Fehruary."
_....The,remark appended to this anounoemont,
that nothing but European intervention could
maintain the " Emperor on his throne," is
curiously characteristic .of our reputation in
the East. It is hard, however, to say with
what pretext or even motive such an inter
vention could be exercised. Tho mere substi
tution at Pekin of a dynasty which nobody
comprehends for another which nobody under
stands, could not be likely to exert any materi
a 1 influence on'Enropean transactions. Ad far
as we can discern, the rebellion appears, if not
to have .originated, at any rate' to have pro
ceeded- on the assiniption, that the whole
country was Misgoverned, overtaxed and gen
erally 'oppressed.
"The declaration of Tion-tah and his sup
porters have uniformly promised a fairer sys•
tem of imposts, and a better administration of
justice, as the consequence H of their sucoess, ,
and it stems that deep dissatisfaetion was gen
erally felt at Om existing state of affairs.—
With a domestic revolution thus created it
could torta4dy not be- the interest of any for
eign power 'to interfere,•fiir excepting on the
opiqm question, it is altogether improbable
thatlny change of dynasty at Nankin could
affect the comineroial relation between the
I British and Chinese. The reason for disqui
etude on our part' ould be found, if we aro
not mistaken, rather in the noncompletion
than the completion -of tho revolution dos
orihed." .

THE FLOGGING OF A. PRINCE.
The London correspondent of a north Ger
man paper, relatea a story with regard -to tile
way in which- Prince Albert disciplines his
children, which the : Tribune translates ea fa:
lows:
" The young prince stood one day in his
room in the royal palace at Windsor; at the
window, whose panes repelled to the deer.—
He had a lesson to learn by heart, but instead
was amuseing himself by looking out into the
garden endplaying with his fingers on the win. l
dow. His governess, Millpard, an earnest and
pious person, observed thiii7and kindly asked
him to think of getting his lesson. The young
prince said ; I don't want to.' Then,'-"said
Miss Hillyard, I must put you into the cor
ner." I won't learn,' answered the little fol-•
low resolutely, 'and won't standin the, , ccrneri
for lam the Prince of Wales,' And as lie said
this, he knocked out ono'of the windowpanes
with his foot. At this, Miss Hillyard 'rose
from her seat, and said: ''Sir you must learn,
or I must putyou inthat corner.' won't,'
said ho, knocking a second pane. • •
The .governess then rang, and told the sm..
vent who entered to say Lb Prince Albert that
she requested the presence of his Royal High.

and said, pointing to' an ottemari," , sit down

that you are new under tutors and gorernore,

is an excellent Christian - mode of education,
Which every citizen - and peasant who has a
child may well take to his heart as a model,
.It may bo proper to add that the youngster
who is represented to have reoeived this poter
nal admonition is but 11 years old:
It's. what thee'll spend, any 'son," said a
sage old Quaker,' « not what thee% make,
which is to decide whether thee'a to be rich or
not." r' The advice was trite, (remarks the
Philadelphia Ledger,) for it was but Frank
lirn's in another shape':' '"Take earn of the
pennies, and the pounds will take:care of them
selves." But it cannot be too often repeated.—
Mexi aro continually indulging in small export
es, saying to themselves„that it's only a trifle,
• yet forgetting that the aggregate is seriona,
that oven the sea-shere is made up of petty
grains of sand. Ten cents a day even, is thirty
six dollars and a half a . year, and that is the
interest of a capital, of sin hundred dollars.—
The man that saves temopts a day only, is so
much richer than him who' 'hoes not, as if ho
owned a life estate in a howle - worth six hun
dred dollars.. Every sixteen years ten cents a
day becomes sixteen hundred dollars; and, if
invested quarterly, does not take half of that
time. But ten cents a day is ohilds play, some
will exclaim. Well then, John Jacob - Astor
used to say; that when a man, who wishes to'
be rich, has saved ten thousand dollars, he'has
won" alf the battle. Not that Astor thought
ten thousand. much. But he knew that in
making-such a sum a man acquired habits of
prudent economy, which would constantly keep
him advancing in Wealth. How many, howev
er, spend ten thousand in a few years in extra
expenses, and when, on looking back, cannot
tell, as they say, where the money, went to."
To save, is the golden rule to get rich. To
squander, even in small sums, is the first step
towards the poor-house.
MEW OF TILE REVOLUTION
Gen. Greene, in his despatches, after. the
battle Eutaw, says " Hundreds "of my men
were us naked as the day they were born."—,
Judge Johnson, in his life of Greene. says;—
", Posterity will scarcely believe that the baro
loins of many men who,oarried death into itto
enemy's ranks, at the Eutaw, were galled by
their eartouclt:boxes, while a fold of p rag, or
a tuft of moss protected the shoulder frota
sustaining the same injury from the musket."-
Gen. Oroeno says, in his letters, to the Score
