I had seen many more beautiful faces during my winters in New York and Washington- my summers it Cape May. Newport, arid Na lta? 'and besides, I was expecting to meet at the-Hall a certain Southern •bellemnd heir ess; a sister in•law of the friend wh'irhad in vited me to hie house. So I gave only a pass ing glance nt the pale stranger, and, dis mounting. rang the bell. A slave answered the summons. and, conducting me into the library, went to call his mailer. In a few moments the door opened, and the lady whom I had seen at the window came in, wif h two curly headed children clinging about her She bade me good-morning in a voice sweet as the thrill of n lute•gatring;and said, with some embarrassment: • " I am sorry that Mr. and Mrs. Puthbert are both, out..riding "Ah, and so am I," was tli answer; "but I suppose they will not ho long, for, though they did not expect me to day, I wrote them that I should probably be_hero this week." "Then you are Mr. Vincent ?" Richard Vincent, nt your service ; and now introduce yourself." " [—l —am," she paused, wound one of the little girl's ringlets around her finger. in her confusion, and began again: "1 am" more hesitated, and I resumed: I have guessed it—you are the ,govern ess 1" She smiled, but the oolor mounted to her very temples —Nue and ;- "'tow that blush becomes her!" . At this moment we heard the tramp of hor ses' feet, and saw Cuthbert and his beautiful wife dashing up the broad avenue leading to the mansion. The governess hastily left Inc, and I shortly after saw her talking to my friends in the verandah. Their brief confer ence over, my host and hostess entered, and gave me a cordial welcome, which is charaa teristic of the South. When the greetings_had been interchanged, I turned to Cuthbert and said: •• Pray, where is Mies Dupont, the charm ing sister-in law, of whom you spoke 7" lie and his wife exchanged significant glances, lila./ continued: "I nun all impatience to see this paragon; don't keep me Jong in sus• pensel" `:I will not: you will meet at dinner." The next morning the dressing•bell rang, and the host led the way to the guest-ehamber, where he left me to make my toilet. In those days I wan not indifferent to my-personal aft p-earanee, and,_ with . the ._sid.._of_nn.. nlteutive slave, I arrayed -myself in the most elegant suit my wardrobe afforded. 4. I wonder if I shall suit the heiress ?" I queried, mentally, as I took a last survey in the mirror, and desoended to the dining hall. There near the table, sat Cut hbert and his wife t t face I had seen at the window, and, not far from the governess, a young lady with a fair complexion, a blooming cheek and the sunniest of blue eyes, and a profusion of golden heir. I was a connoisseur in ladies' dress at that period, and took in at a glance her costly India muslin robe, with its frills of Mechlin lace, the Bpi - a - dor-of her bracelets, necklace, and eardrops, and the exquisitely wrought golden comb which looped up the rich tresses Why was it that my face wandered frotn her to the pale, calm governess, with her bands of raven hair, and her great, eloquent eyes, and a dress that fell about her like a "Durn mist 2" Blanche," said my host, " allow me to present an old nod valued friend —Richard Vincent." The blonde beauty colored, simpered and w.th an inclination she intended to' be like that of a prini-donna to an applauding crowd, acknowledged my bow. ' , bliss Hat guerite," resumed Cuthbert, "this e the guest we have been expecting." She .owed with the grace of a queen, and I as re speotfully, as if she had been ono, as I said: We ,have had the pleasure of meeting before Gat h ben." ! As I told you," murmured the governess, "I went down to tell him yoti were absent." the ceremonies di dinner now began, and, as inane had been arranged for me beside ,I3hinche, I tried to play the agreeable, but I often found my thoughts wandering to the pale, silent - girl opposite. — whin the meal was over, andlhe ladies had loft the room, we lingered sUour wine. What do you think of.znyAister.?" asked Cuthbert. "She is very beautiful," I replied. "Arid you have falls; id love with her at first sight ?" •" If I have, rlduill not tell you I" I ex claimed,-and then we went on chatting in a merry strain. When we adjourned to the great, - ceol, luxurious parlor, I fouitd Mrs: Cuthbert and her sister, but the governess was walking to and fro ott the terrace. appa" rently absorbed in thought..

XPOIR, TIM INEMMIT GEROM, That night when I retired 19„ . my rest, my' dreams were not haunted by the heiress. but .by the pale-face I had seen it:the, ividdoir;-+ the face of Marguerite, the governess.. , The next merning,l was awake at en earl* hour, and, glanting out, saw Marguerite gli= ding across the lawn. I hastened to join her: her cheeks wore 'a rich glow. her dark, lustrous eyes were full of light, her lips' tremulous with emilee her *hue apron was 'full of snowy blossoms, and Abe hid wreathed a spray of Jessamine amid the blacktess'of bor hair. flow we began - to talk, Laney:o,ly know: hut I never was so entertained by any woman as by her. I could touch upon no'eubject of literature or art with which she was not familiar, and Madame de Stael might have coveted her conversational powers. Qa the lawn we separated, but, when we met at breakfast in the.pr mince of the Cuthberts and tiro supercilious heiress, I saw that the old governess link had comeback to her face, and ehe was more ,reticent than ever. My friend proposed a lioreehack ecurtilon . _to I Pl4;4l l _t r kbPta94; - ..4 1 4 1 4 optitfed - ,' with the keenest disappointment, that the gov erness had been excluded. I rode at the bridle rein of the fair Blanche, who looked very pretty in the ,blue habit, and with her velvet hat set coquettishly above her golden tresses: but I found it imporsible to interest myself in her commonplace chit chat. I felt a sense of relief when' we dismounted at the Ball, and as soon as I had led my. partner in, bounded up the staircase On the way to my chamber I passed an open door, and through it caught a glimpse of Marguerite.— The two children were busy at their tasks. and she sat patiently correcting a sketch which one of them had made. A portfolio lay beside her, which. I doubted not, was OW vriirliFt; drawings. She hoard my st'ep, and, loCkiug up, saw me on the three hold. tt What:" she exclaimed; ".hate you re turned so soon? I did not expect you for an hour or two. I hope you have enjoyed your. self." 0 ,I,wl "No, I have not. I was really disappoint ed because you did not. A faint smile pawned over her face. "I— I," she muttered; "you can't under attind etiquette, if you suppose a•governese is to be made an equal." I felt the blood rush. to my brow as I re plied: "There,nre many false notions in society; I am sure Mrs. Cuthbert's governess is the equal of any one, and as such I regard her." Her face crimsoned; and for a time there was silence. which a . broke by saying: •' is this the solibol.room1" " Yes "- .. It looks very cool and pleasant; may I come in?" ••I suppose Mrs. Cuthbert would hare -no objection." "I hope not ;" and with these Words I moved to the table at. which she was sitting. "Does 'this portfolio belong to you?" I in quired.laying my hand, on the article in ques tion. She bowed assent, and I resumed: "Slutll I have the pleasure of examining its contents 7" "Certainly, sir." She was calm, grave, quiet; but when 1 drew forth the pictures, and 'began to expa tiate upon them, her reticence vanished. Her eyes lit, the pale cheek glowed. her lips— those mobile lips—parted, and she talked with the enthusiasm of girlhood The sketches were indeed won lerful, and at last I said:.. It ie a shame for ydu. wnh your genius for painting, to drudge as a governess !" Again that peculiar mmi e flitted over her features as she murmured: •• The poor must do what they can—not what they would." Nt this moment we were interrupted by the children, and I left her. In the afternoon, as I was lounging 'on a luxurious sofa in the library, the door opened, and Marguerite ap• peared, but at eight of me precipitately re tired. "Stay! (way!" cried I, following her No, no, I cannot; I did not dream you were here; loras lonely, and came down for a book." " Come and get it." With some reluctance she entered, and took a splendidly bound copy of TRSBO from tho shelf. I glanced at it, and said: -- What ! do you read Tasso " A little." Then take a seat beside roe, and we will rend together." She hesitated an instant, md then assented. The liqnid Tuscan language sounded very beautiful sy nettled In her accents, and the spell with which the governess had bound me deepened with every passing moment. A month wore on, and one night ` I sat in my chamber, holding communion with my own heart.'

Some wri ters do not possess the utoessary grasp of mind, or others have not the requisite skill in narrative, or one set will be too tedious, or another too slow. There ore examples on re cord of historians being actually overpowered, or rather outweighted, with valuable informa tion. 3401taire's History of Cherles_KlT is proba bly 'not a whit less euthensio or instructive, because, when some 'important documents in the State archives nt-litockholtte, for which he had applied, were transmitted , after con siderable delay. he sent thorn back unopened, with a polite Message that they . art bred too late, fir he had afready finished that part of his history upon wbich they would have thrown light.

It was resolved to put it into as many portly volumes in post 8 vo. size.— It was suspended during Scott's visit to Ire land, in the autumn of 1825, and resumed on his return, in Septeinber. He worked dog gedly at his vast store of materials, at the same time varying, and be thought lighle — ifitie his c labors by composing the chivalric story pf The Talisman," in which he had theplessure of again bringing Richard of the Lion Heart before his readers But cure times were at band. Scott's pub limiters failed, involving him in their ruin All the world knows - how he lost no time in murmuring or grief, but girded up hill loins to battle with adverse fortune. He worked almost simultaneously, at IVoodslock and at Arapoie ,n, and subsequently at the Chronicles of the Canuongale also; . the historical works, printed as fast as it was Written, being liternlly produced " from hand to mouth." .In the autumn of 1826, Scott visited London and Paris, to consult papers in the offices of both 'capitals, and picked up anecdotes about Na poleon in private conversation. In London, the Duke of Wellington presented him with a collection of manuscript notes made by :in his carriage, when traveling to St 'Peiiisbtirg•; , -rali upik the achleyeinents of - Isra — iniebir, and' espnially - on — the'conduct of his Russian campaign. In Paris, the na• tional archives were thrown open to him.— Pozzodi forgo, Marshal Mae Donald, and others, communicated a great deal of infor mation-to him. Strange to say Scoti made Scarcely any use of these new and valuable •materials. He would not take the trouble of introducing them into what he already had written. So much for writing history! Even in matters so recent as Waterloo, writers are at isaue as to facts For example, the name of La Belle A Ili ance, at present a farm, or the tnildle of the position occupied by the F..ench at Waterloo, the place Where Napoleon himself remained daring the battle. The Purssian offi ial ac , count declares that, on that sprit, „by a happy chance, Blucher and Wellington met in the dark, and saluted each other as victors," and that, to commemorate this Blucher desired that the battle should bear the name of La Belle Alli face —We have seen a letter from Wellington, dated, "Paris, June 8, 1816," in which the gallant writer declares the Lft Belle Alliance to be an inverdion, as "it haPpens That the meeting took place after ten at night at the villege of Genappe," a place to out knowledge, some five or six mikes from the field of Waterloo. So, ton, the aterentyped anee lute which relates that when Welliligton wanted to make the hot charge upon the French, at Waterloo, he called ,'Tjp:,Duards and .at them!" The Duke 1140'41M:tiered, overand over again, that he treys p. srttti,Ttle, MM. Sailijihey have got them into history, which will preserve them, no doubt. Thus, it may be safely assumed, th , .tinanyother apocryphal ittyings and doings have been chroicled.

The three States of New York, Ohio. and Pennsylvania have a population of 9 133,611, which is 1,438,865 more than the entire pop ulation, Slave and Free. of the eleven rebel Stares, while these same States have a value. tion of $ll9 781,815 greater than all the so called Confederate States. In all these comparisons .the Rebel States bare been allowed the advantage Of having the servile members of their communities reckoned both as property and as population. But in a struggle such as is now going on, they arc fully available neither as one nor the other, and the' figures which represent them, whether in the column of population or in that of property, 'denote a purply-fictitious value. Their value as property is predicated upon race, upon domestic security, unrestricted commercial intercourse, and the ready reali zation of values, all of which conditions aro now wanting. The very strife which gives significance and importance to such a com parisonof the resources of the sections, has stricken from the valuation of the Rebel States $1.735.810,425 - the estimated worth of their human chattels, as they appear on the tax lists of those States. They will still retain a partial value as pop ulation.. But, granting their entire loyalty to their masters, their value can. be but a small traction of the amount denoted by the figures which represent them in the totals of popula tion in the several States. All the influences and characteristiog which, in a time of peace nd_domestic security, ever depreciate from their value as a producing aggravated a hundred fold.—N. Y. Tribune. Annual Report of the Superintendent of Commiin School• of Cumberland is tatty: SIIIPPENBBURO, June 10, 1861 Dean Sin: Receiving my appointment as Superintendent, of the Schools of Cumberland county on the 15th day of August. IMO, and being exceedingly adverse to eausim.t any delay in the usual opening of the schools on the let of September following, I immediately made out, and published, my programme of ' ix trninatiOns of .teachers, holding . examine lone in two districts per Sty, which necessa rily required the examinations to he hastily :on Noted, and I was fearful at. the time that I might innocently give some just cause of .Lirnplaint to those whose qualifications. through that haste, 'night be under estimated; In that particular, I am happy to say that the result,of my•visitations during the session of ~ the,,sahoots has completely relieved my mind ind confirmed the opinions at which I. had previously - arrived Much dissatisfaction was expressedto the autumn by young men whose certificates ecarcelymaine up to the standard of rlrose - whicirthey'had - received the previcurt year; but when I explained to them that the .:hinge was no charge of retrogression in them, but simply a requirement on the part of the schools - of an annually increased grade of qu.ilifications on the part of the teachers ; and when, by a corapqrison of certificates, they Mond that they were it it, in , itvidual CasYs, the dissati-faction passed away: No oojection, of course, ate he ill. I to I his advance. except by the few fossils who still, thro tgli the he• muanity (?) of Directors. are permitted to keep school - its a few of the districts. N0R.51 U. 801100L8 —There has been at New ville, in this county, until this year. a Nor; mil school. for the improveintmt, of Teachers iu the art of teaching; and there can be no doubt of the fact that. during the few years of its existence. tt was productive of much good; in fact, wjtere a teacher hel spent a whole .session ,at ihe.nortnal school, it was apparent upon entering rite school room; and it was with unfeigned regret that I learned net win ter, that through some mismanagement. the financial affairs of the institution lied become hopelesely involved. Efforts. which I am sorry to say. were unsuccessful, were imnze• duately made to procure by private subscrip tion the means of, liquidating the debt, fur which too meals praise o , looot, be awarded to the friends of Bluoation in Newville. It. is weedier's to add that any well-direoted effort to reestahlish the Normal School upon su c h a basis as shall afford a reasonable hope that it shall be Half sustaining, will receive my hearty approval and co operation. INSTITUT% —The Teachers' Institute, of this county, held its sixth annual session last Jan uary. in the fins hall at Newville and was tol (nattily attended —there being about fifty tea chers present during the greater part of the session, during which the attendance of the citizens was such ae to evidence no decline in the interest, felt in the clause.

HOUSES AND FIXTUESS —There are but feir houses in the county that are -built strictly In accordance with any_of_the_plana-laid-down'- in_ the Pennsylvania &hoot Architecture; al though many of them are convenient; Well lighted, and tolerably ventilated. Upon the latter point there seems to be a great divereity o f opinion, and, consequently, of practice, and in fact, I think, the whole subject is far from exhanated, and loudly demands the attention of scientific men, as a plan could certainly be found for ventilating that could be economi cally adapted to houses already erected, soine plan under the complete and immediate con!: trot of the teachers, The districts Of , Militia and Frankford are fortunate in having been so,_ unfortunate as to be under the necessity or building new houses a few yetra ago, While the houses in many of the other districts were in such repair as to admit of their use for limited period. Now, those districts, whitth are the poorest in resources of any. in.:the county, and have had a heavy building debt, are supplied with good new houses, while-the richer districts, South Ididdleton, especially, have in prospect the creation of the emelt, heavy debt from which - Franitford and hllMia have just emerged. We may,.thirefore,-en tertain a reasonable hope that now thole) digs. trims will feel able to offer rather more tails sonable compensation to their teachers than ' heretofore, and that thereby the reputation of t heir schools may be correspondingly advanced. I have additional grounds for hope, in the fact `that the agricultural improvements in thine districts are such that the same rate of tax will raise fully twenty-five per cent. more revenue than it would have done three years since, and this is 'going on in accelerating sa lito , =eonie_heyst__fhen , _as__potteety--htia-here-, - to fore been the plea in extenuation of eighteen dollars per month for teachers, AMOUNT OF OFFICIAL LAMM—Since the 25th of August, 1860, I have examined one 'butt- • tired and fifty teachers, granting seven tpro fessional and one hundred and forty•three l•provisional certificates. I did intend to fur nish you with the number of professional and provisional certifioates, respectively, that hive been issued in this county since the creation of the superintendency; but, not having yet received -a reply to my •letter of inquiry on the subject to my predecessor, I will leave that. item for a future report I have visited all the schoolsin'the county, except five, (and also except the Carlisle schools,) once, twenty---- of them the second time, and twelve of theta the third time. My visits have been of the average duration of two and a half to three hours, at which visits I have almost invaria. bly addressed the children: and in cases where the attendance of parents was such as to war rent it, I have extended my remarks in such - a way as to 'reach their case, especially in,..the matter of dereliction of duty in the keeping of their children from school, refusing full supply of needed-hooks, facilities, Ste. I have traveled shout 1:000 miles_ pritielpally in eat e 'cone - Cy - anal, delivered twenty lectures, generally to full and attentive audiences, in, which the mortises formed an interesting and promising feature as I have yet to know case of failure where the women warmly es. ponied the cause, as I have also yet to, knew the else of the women espousine• a cause then deserved to fail. I have written thirty or • thirty five Alai il letters • and attended to two_ (only twol cases of difficulty in the schools, both of which were settled in a manner sans factory tot he teacher and t he community, and, I think, without in the least eomproddsing the interest of the cause. I may be allowed to state, in explanation, that the emisaion•of the 3CIIOOIB mentioned' was owing principally to my want of a minute knowledge of the loda tions of the different houses, which required an 'mount of traveling fully twenty five per_ cent. greater than I need perform next Sea. Mon. This made me late in my visitation In the east end of the county, and, while there, I was so unfortunate as frequently to be under the necessity of performing considerable dis tances on foot, just at the time wheMthe roads were in the worst condition; and when I was in Silver Spring. dietriot, I watt overtaken by a snow storm that rendered the roads almost impassable to a pedestrian. I tried in Vain - to hire or borrow a-horse, (in -floguestown,),._ could not procure the company of ct director, . and had a positive appointment in Hampden district for the day but one after, under Which circumstances, at the suggestion of Esti - WM- -4 Clendennin, one of the board, I whined - the ' visitation of the three As on the.ticirlit side of the district. As I remarked above, the knowledge obtained of the topography '-of the county will save me twenty-tiva per centi, more labor next winter. I also attended the examinations of' six or eight of' the 'schools the,,esiet end of the county, and ,cannotspeek too highly of the manner in which theylvero ; 4., conducted, or of the proficiency. displayed On the first subject, .viz: the Manner must be allowed. to say that I attended the ' •firat nt. the series with the expectation .of :seeing the old fashiOned humbug of a parcel -of pupils..' answering a given number of - pre•arrangede questions, -which they had been negletiting • their legitimate studies for a month to iarize themselves with, and which they-wduld , juice been, none the-better-for,--evenirtlior7---- had understood them.
