FACT AND FANCY.
OR, A THEW{ 1" WORKED OUT
My refusal of Ashen' Alleyne was the
legitimate result of much romance read
ing and considerable nursing of ideals—
two exercises Whose ultimate issue had
been the establishment of my theory of
love, as applying to my own destined ex
perienced in the matter. Out from the
nebula: of men I kilt that one must come
whose face and figure should wear an in
stant pleasingness in my eyes beyond
those of any hitherto seen or to be seen
forever thereafter. Behind them would
lie surely a soul to the extremest limit of
fallible mortal capacity strotio , nd car
nest—a soul so high that thr ugh all the
years I should feel its hand at etched out
above me, prepetually leading the on to
the altitudes I should never else have
reached. What a scope for fancy lay in
delineation of the externals of this com
ing man! I never saw a handsome fea
ture, an air graceful or noble, but I ap
propriated it to him minus the draw
bhcki acccompanying its actual possessor.
But I was not an empty-headed nonen
tity by all means. The very fact of Ash
er Alleyne's having been satisfied at my
side in so many leisure hours of the past
two years was proof enough of this.

man's deep stride, yet with the woman's

which men and woineroalk• I had gone
with him abreast in threading the sub

of the how and why, and wherefore of
the soul. And there were lighter hours
for crowning with flowers and poesy,
whose nooks, in their best and most eter
nal freshness, none knew better where to
seek than he. sitting at his side free
of heart, would listen as he rhymed the
passionate cadences of the love and long

that he must find his year after year of

He saw with evident unpreparedness
and pain how new and_ unthought of his
proposition was. We had tallied so well
in so many thoughts and pursuits, that he
forgot to take account of how much of a
girl's heart might be left-give over -to
dreams of which he could have no knowl
edge. Ile rose up from his chair, and
laid the book down quietly, and stood for
a minute before me, and said.
" I suppose pride ought to prompt me

you more sorely ; to whom your life would
have been a richer endowment ; to whom
your love would have been a more suffi
cient possession; whose heart would have

And o he went, and as concerned be•
ing worthily touched by thinii; or lifellng
a true estimate of their value, I heard his
words as it' 1 had not heard them ; though
they woke in me a sympathy which made '
me regret that he bad felt a necessity
through me which I could never fill, and
brought the best gill of his Lun,anity to
one by whom it was unneeded and unasked.
A man's position in society—what, peo
ple say of him, his appearance and doings
—has a nearer connection with most
young lady likings than they are aware
or would confess. True, there are women
who have grown into loving men whom
the world know not, or knowing, lidl to
favor; but they are somewhat the excep
tion. For a young lady to hear of a wan
possessing, in a full degree allotted to se
parate mortals, the gifts of intellect and
feature desirably in man, does not inspire
in her commonly the desire to avoid him
strictly. We all have an impression, intd
doubtless in the main correct, that the
verdict general society passed upon a
member is usually just.
I had found no occasion to gainsay it
; Ad - Ralph - Hasse!tine came to me bring
ing.-in' his face and figure, not only those
fair outlinss which one need but see to
read and improve, but general society's
verdict, of what I prized infinitely more—
a true and genial soul. Others had ap
peared thus furnished forth—but Ralph
Ilasseltine I I suppose few girls who
have nut'sed ideals have ever met any
thing specially like them ; but I do not
think any man alive could have come
nearer mine externally than Ralph Hal
saltine.
As I bad fore•dreaiued, the great Au
rora of passion flushed up into the waiting
sky of my simultaneous with his first
appearing. So speedily that I think I
b_gan to love him before he consciously
knew me at all. His voice attracted we
first. A little wearied by a rather slow
evening out, I had felt the played-out
laces and going into the book-room began
a search for somewhat with a fresher fla•

books and took position where I could
see him in the parlor. The figure,. car
ried with the subtle ease of gentle man

from the chandelier fell on his graceful
_head
_and gave his locks the true hero'S`

his name and social fume before. I did
not find the latter belied when I met him

and thereafter.

gathered halo of all the truth and tender

I had ever SQOII or read as man's posses

one's self in particular; and most curious

Ralph off these topics, though I. had not

TIIh. CoN,EQUENCES OF DISORDER AND VlO
MEMO
TO TII E CITIZENS OF NEW YORK
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OP Tile EAST, }
NEW-YOUR . CITY, Aug 17, 1863.
The draft of men in this city to re
plenish the ranks of the army, in order
to complete more speedily the suppres
sion of the insurrection in the South,
having, in consequence of forcible resist
ance to the execution of the law, been
placed under my direction as command
ing officer of the forces of the United
Btates in this Military Department, I
have thought it not out of !Alice to pre
sent to you some suggestions for yourTen
sidereion friend s of the Union and of
the good order of society.
The law under which the' draft is to
be made is for enrolling and calling out
the national forces. It is founded on the
`principle that every citizen, who enjoys
the protection of the dovernment and
looks to it for the security' of his proper
ty and his life, may be called on iti sea
sons of great public danger to take up
arms for the common defense. No po
litical society can be held together unless
this principle is acknowledged as one to
which the 6uvern went may have recourse
when its existence is in peril. There is
no civilized country in which it is not
recognized.
The law authorizing the draft has been
persistently called a Conscription law by
those who desire to make it odious and de
feat its execut,ion. It is in no just sense
a conscription like that which was put in
force in the sixth year of the French Re
public. and abandoned on the restoration
of the Bourbons, on account of its op
pressive exaction. It is a simple law for
enrolling and calling into the service the
arms-bearing population of certain vges,
and differs in no essential principle from
the law authorizing the militia to be called
out, excepting that in the latter ease
complete organizations are brought into
the field. The object of the very provis
ions.of the law which aro most beneficial
to individuals has been most grossly per
vetted. If a drafted man finds it incon-
Venient to serve, he is allowed to furnish
a substitute, or-to purchase his exemp•
Lion from service by paying the sliest
sum of money for which substitutes are
ordinarily obtained. Both these provis
ions have the saine'liurpo , e—to - . previde
for cases of hardship; and if either were .
stricken out, these cases would be pre !
portionably increased in number .,
,
The draft about to be Made is.for one
fifth part of all persons-between twenty
and thirty-five years of 'ago; And of the
unmarried between thirty-five and forty
five. The entire clasS,.bkWeent - eighteen
and thirty five was long sin& drafted in
the seceded States; end the draft has re:
oently been extended to 'embrace nearly
the whole arins-bettring population. Corn-
pared with the burden they are sustain
ing, ours is as, nothing. The contest on
our part is to defend our nationality, to
uphold the institutions under the protec
tion of which we have lived, and pros
pered, and to preserve untarnished the
proud memories of our history, brief, it
is true, but full of high achievement in
science, in art, and in arms. Shall we,
in.-such a cause, shrink from labors and
sacrifices, which our misguided brethren
in the seceded States are sustaining in
the cause of treason and social disorgani
zation? For the honor of New-York, lot
us take care that the history of this re
bellion, more vast than any which has
ever convulsed a nation, shall contain
nothing to make our children blush for
the patriotism of their fathers.
Whatever objection there may be to
the law authorizing the draft, whatever
defects it may have, it is the law of the
land, and resistance to it is revolt against
the constituted authorities of the country
If one law may be set at defiance, any
other may be, and the foundation of all
government may be broken Up. Thot4e who
in the history of political societies, have
been the first to set themselves up against.
the law, have been the surest victims of
th, disorder which they have created.—
The poor hay?, a far deeper interest in
maintaining the inviolability of the law
than the rich. Property, through the
menus it can command, is power. But
the only security her those who have lit•
tle more than life and the labor of their
owe hand to protect lies in the supreom•
ey of the-law. On them` and on those
who are dependent on them, social disor
ler falls with fatal effect.
The constitutionality of the law author.
izing the draft has been disputed. Near
the close of the war 1 1814, when the
country was engaged in war with Great
Britain, a similar law was recommended
to Congress-by the Government-, - to - draft
men_ to till the ranks of the army, which
was gallantly battling, as our armies are
now, for the nations honor and life
Madison, one of the great expounders of
the Uonstit,ution, which he took a promi
nent part in framing, was President.—
Monroe, his successor, then acting both as
Secretary of State and Secretary of War,
addressed to the [louse of Represenatives
a lucid argument in support the right of
U tigress to pass such a law. Alexander
.1 Dallas was Secretary of the Treasury;
\Vin. Jones, Secretary of the Navy ; Re
turn J. Wigs, Postmaster-General f and
Richard it sh, Attorney General. The
measure could not well have received a
highet partysaction. All laws passed
with the established letrislative forms are
valid until declared otherwise by judicial
ttibUtials of cyMpetent jurisdietiOno—
Wh4t would become of a people in criti
cal emergencies if no law, could be car
ried into-effect -untiHt had inas - sod' - 'the
deal of the Courts? or if State or muni
cipal authorities could arrest its execu
tion by calling in question its conformity
to the provisions of the Constitution 1----
The President has promptly consented to
have it tested by judicial interpretation ;
but while the car of victory is moving on
and treason is flying before it, Gad for
bid that the State of New York, or its
constituted authorities, should attempt to
stay its progress until the judicial pro.
cess can be consummated. .
The accuracy of the enrollment in the
city districts has been impeached, and a
revision was immediately ordered by the
President, on a representation from the
Governor of the State. But as the men
are needed for immediate service, and as
the correction of the returns requires
time, the quota was ordered to be reduced
in all the districts—in some wore that
half the whole amount—leaving the ac
count for future adjustment. The reduc
tion in the quota exceeds in proportion
the alleged excess of the enrollinent, so
that no personal injustice can possibly oc
cur.
Under these circumstances, no good
citizen will.array himself either by word
or de,2d against the draft. Submission to
the law in seasons of tranquility is always
the highest of political duties But,
when the existence of the Government is
in peril, he who resists its authority cow-
mite a crime of the deepest turpitUde.—
tie is the voluntary instrument of those
who are seeking to overthrow it, and be
comes himself a public enemy. More-
over, resistance to the Government by
those who are living under its protection,
and are indebted to it for the daily ten
ure of their property and their lives, has
not even the palliation under which those
who lead the insurrection at the South
seek to shelter themselves; that they are
acting under color of authority derived
from legislaturq or, conventions of the
peop.e in their res[teetiVe States. With
us, resistance to the Constituted authori
ties is both treason alid. lawless violence;
and if they are any who thus combine to
reenact the scenes of cruelty and devasta 7
Lion by which this city has .recently been
dishonored, and to defeat by force of arms
the execution of the paramount. law of .
Congress, they will be treated as enemies
of the country and of - mankind.

Girls• Who Want Ettisinuads..
Girls, you want to get married', don't
you ? And, what a natural thing it is for
young ladies who have such a hankering
for the sterner smo.l It is a weakness of
woman, and for this reason she is Called
the weaker sew. Well, if you want to get
married, doti'g, for conscience sake, act
like fools about it. Don't go into a fit of
the nips every time you see a hat or pair
of whiskers.
NO. 34.
Don't get the idea into your heads that
you must put yourself in the way of every
young man in the neighborhood, in order'
to attract notice, for if you don't run af
ter tho men they will run after you.- -
Mar"hat.
A husband hunter is the most detesta
ble of all young Indies. She is full of
starch and puckers, she pues on many
-false airs, and she is so nice that she apL
s pears ridiculous in the eyes of all decent
people. She may be generally found at
meeting, coming in, of course, about the'
last one, always at social parties, invaria
bly takes a front seat at concerts. She'
tries to be the belle of the place, and thinks
she is. Poor girl ! You are fitting your- -
self for an old maid just as sure as the'
Sabbath comes on . Sunday. Men will
flirt with you, and flatter you, simply be
cause they love to do it; but they have
no more idea of waking you a wife than
they have of committing suicide. If I
was a young man, I would have no more'
to do with Such a fancy than I would with
a rattlesnake.
Now, girls, let Nelly give you a piece
of her advice, and she knows from expo-
Hence that if you practice it you will gain'
the reputation of becoming worthy girls,.
and stand a fair chance of getting respect
able husbands. It is well enough that
you I( arn to linger the piano, work em
broidery, study grammar, &c., but don't
neglect letting your grandma or dear
mother teach you how to make bread or
get a meal's yictua!s good enough for a'
king. No part of a house-keeper's du
ties should be neglected; if you do not
marry a wealthy husband you will need
to know how to do such work, and if your
do, it will be an advantage for you to ,
know how to oversee a servant girl, anti
intrust her to do these things as you
would have them (loi). In the next
place, don't pretend to be what you are
not. Affectation is the most despicable
of .accomplishments,- and- will -only -caustr
sensible people to laugh at you. No one
but a fool will be caught by affectation=

a neat, plain dress. All the flumery and
tinsel work of the dress-maker and mil
liner are unnecessary.
It you are really handsome, they do not
add to your beauty one particle; if you ,
are homely, they only make you worse.—
Gentlemen don't court your faces and
jewelry, but your own dear selves.
Finger-rings and folderols may do well'
to look at, but they add nothing to the
value of a wife—ull young men know that •
It you know how to talk, db it naturally,
and du not be so distressingly polite'as to'
spoil - all that you say. If your hair is
straight, don't, put on the ending tongs
to make people believe that you have ne
gro-blood-in your-veins, If your-neek-is
very black, wear a lace collar, but d n't
be so foolish as to daub paint, thinking
that the people are so blind as not to seer
it ; and if your cheeks are not rosy, don't
apply pink saucers for deception, and be
come the gossip of the neighborhood.
Finally, girls, listen to the counsel of
your mothers, and ask -their advice irt
everything Think less3of fashion than.
you do of kitchen duties—less of romance
than you do of the realities of life—and
instead of trying; to catch a beau, strive
to make yourself worth being caught by
them.—ldly Gray.
FOLLOW THE RIOIIT.—No matter who
you are, what your lot, or where you live,
you cannot afford to do that which is
wrong. The only way to obtain happi
ness and pleasure for yourself is.to do the
right thing. You may not always hit
the mark, but you should aim for it, and
with every trial your skill increases.—
Whether you are to be praised or blamed
for it by others.; whether it will seeming
ly make you rich or poorer, or whether
no other person than yourself knows of
your action, still always and in all cases
do the right. Your first lessons in this
rule will sometimes seem bard ones, but
they will grow easier till finally doing the
right will become a habit,and to do wrong
will almost seem an impossibility.

was in company with a mother and her
daughter, when the latter being reproved
'or some fault, blushed and burst into
He said :
MI!
" how beautiful your reproach has made
your daughter. The crimson' hue, and
those silvery tears, become her better than
any ornament of gold pearls. These may
be hung on the neck of any woman; but
those are never seen disconnected with
moral purity. A full blown rose besprin
kled with the .purest dew, is not so beau
tiful as this child, blushing beneath her
parent's displeasure, and shedding teats
of sorrow at her fault. A' blush is the
sign which nature hangs out to show
where chastity and hbnor dwell."
EVIL OF IDLENESS.—Nine tenths of
the miseries and vices of manhood pro
ceed from idleness . ; with men of quick
minds, to whom it is especially pernici
ous, this habit is commonly the fruit of
many disappointments, and schemes oft
baffled; and men fail in their schemes,
not so much for the tvant of Strength, aq
the ill direction of it. The weakest liv
ing creature, by concentrating his powers
on a single object, can accomplish some
thing; the strongest, by dispersing his
