The Mrtitude which, after the invtd un tary, inevitable rebellion, would permit no more idle repining, the dement Tubb; that hid its own disease and bore it bravely, even the :tern ness that sot its teeth against, retie ion—he recogniz.vd them till ; it was study ' ting the reflection of his own lofty feature in the fragile, quivering flesh of a girl. What in often propiiiied, rarely practised, Leslie did. She changed her ways, with what travail of :din it, what heart-sickness she alone could tell. It is no ummuon, or false influence that causes a revulsion in the whole bodily system ; it is not skin-deep puncture that bleeds inwardly ; it is not easy lesson that the disciple lays to heart : but Leslie surmounted and survived it. She had escaped her responsibilities, and slum bered at cr post. She would do so no longer. She belonged now, after little Leslie, to her household, and its members might yet be the better for her, and Hector Garrett should respect—not pity, her. She vindicated her matron hood suddenly and straightforwardly, but with a sedateness and firmness that was conclusive of her future power; she had. much to acquire, but she would gain some.. thing every day and every hour, until Otter should own no abler mistress. Then for her child, she would t teach herself that she might instruct herdlitughter, so that if she proved inquiring and meditative like her father, she need not soon weary of her sim ple mother, and turn altogether to a more enlightened and profound instructor, Sure ly there was some knowledge that a woman could best store up and dispense, some gilt wherin the vigorous and well trained man did not bear the universal palm 7 Leslie strove to cultivate her talents; for these in her position there was scarcely a chcice of fields, but she had cur intently- the power of observation, and her sharpened motives sup plied the defects of her early education. Leslie bec,ine a naturalist—the most origi nal and untrammelled of naturalists, for she proceeded upon that foundation of anecdo tal and experiMental acquaintance with herb and tree, insect, bird, and beast; and oven atmospheric phenomena, whose unalloyed riches aro peculiar to rustic and isolated genius. _Hector Garret observed this growing taste. and appreciated it. Leslie had ceased to apolo gize for her stupidity, and to bo shy of his scrutiny. When be found her procuring and preserving. this or that specimen, or rioting down to a primitive fact, if he asked an explanation he had'ono directly.

Another resource which Leslie found within Hector Garret's perception, was that of music. She had been endowed with n flexible, melodious voice, and as soon as she had use.for them, she gathered by magic a host of ditties, blytho or sad, stirring or soo thing—from the romantic fervor of "Char lie, he's my darling," to the pathos of " Drummos.siu Moor," or the homely, biting humor of " Tibbie Fowler," to carol to the accompaniment of the ancient spinnet, in order to cheer or lull the child. Hector Garret would move to his study window, and open it softly, in the gloaming hair when the purple sunset Was on the sea, and the bats shroud from the old chimneys, to listen to his wife in the room above sing. ing to her child. He did not hear her music otherwise . ; if he had solicited it, she would have complied with a little surprise, but he did not„seek the indulgence. The alteration in Leslie which matured her unexpectedly - from a girl to a woman, affected powerfully both the arbiters of her destiny. Bridget Kennedy, froM her tyrant was fairly transformed into the warmest and most faithful adherent. There was some thing bigh and great in the wild old woman, that could thus at once confess her error, ad mit greatness in any form in another, and succumb to it reverently. Truly, Bridget Kennedy was like fire to the weak and fool ish, a semirge and a grisly phantom ; to the brave and capable, a minister fearless, fond,. told untiring to her last breath. I t was very strange to Hector Garret to be sensible of Bridgers lapse from his side, to hear the present madam, the subdued, dili gent woman, canonized to the level of the rand, glad lady cif Otter to whom Bridget had been so long fanatically loyal. Ile said to himself that the child had helped to ell'ect it, the precious descendant, the doted-on third generation, but he was uncertain. ne himself was so impressed with the patient woman he had formed from the lively girl, so tortured by the conviction that he lied gagged and fettered her—that her limbs were cramped and benumbed, her a,mos plMre oppressive, bier life self-:denying, that lie could bear it no longer. God I':give are, Lesl.e, for the wrong done you, - he confes-rd one night with a haggard, remorseful face, when she stood; constrained and iwnsive, on his joy le-s hearth. She ',inked up quickly, she laughed a dry " Y. et are dreaming." she replied.

The turmoil and distraction of his youth se•emui recalled ; he lost hiPequanimity ; his regular habits faded from him. Leslie conid no longer coo: t on his prolonged ab sence his short, stated visits; he would be with her at any time within doors or with out—to exchange a word or look, and go as he came, to return as unaccountably and inconsistently. It vexed Leslie; she tried not to sea it ; it made her etAus,. anxious ; and what had she to do with Hector Garret's flushed cheek and alibiing eye ? Seine an niversary, sonic combination of present as sociations and past recollections—a tendency to fly from himself, besetting at times the mostself'-controlled—might have caused this change in his appearance. Ah I better twist nnd•untwist the rings of little Leslie's fair hair, and dress and undress her as she had done her doll ; better examine the shell cracked by the yellow-hammer, and count the spots on the broad brown leaf of the plane, than perplex herself with so unconge nial a difficulty. But the difficulty pursued her nevertheless. and baffled and bewitched her as it had done wiser people. The master and mistress of Otter were spectators of the harvest home, the plenti ful feast and merry dance in the swions bairn where their share of the fruit of the earth was about to be garnered. Leslie stood in her complimentary gay gala ribands, with her fingers meeting upon her wedding ring, looking composedly and with interest on the buxom women and stalwart men, the loving lads and lasses, the cordial , hus bands end wives. Hector Garret, however, scarcely , tarried to reply to their health and prosperity drunk in .a . flowing bumper, but broke from the scene as if its good was his evil, its blessing his curse.

The October winds, tossing the late oats and the frosted heather, were lashing the Otter sea into hearing waves and flakes of foam. That western sea has its annals and its trophies, as well as den and moor. Ed ward Bruce crossed it to give to Ireland as dauntless a king as ho whom a woman crowned, and found a nameless gravel and there, in the glassy calm of a summer night, the vessel, and its passengers lulled in fatal security and slumber profound as that of the Lobos eate , r) "manhood's noble head" and -beauty's flowery crown," the pilgrim from the Far West, and the child at his father's door, sank like lead, fathoms be yond the aid of ir odern science with its my riads of inventions and its hardy self-confi dence, The few fishers of Otter were exposed to the swell' rolling from' New England and Labrador to Galloway and Argyle; many a lamp stood day and night in cottage win dows, many an anxious woman forsook her brood, and under her sheltering plaid ran here and there, dizzy and desperate; to beg for counsel, and tidings of the husband and father whose boat was due, and who was still exposed to the pitiless fury of the tempest. Hector Garret was early summoned to marshal his men in order to succor those who were wi• bin his reach; to 'think, plan, and act to the last fur those who were a-miss ing, but might yet be rescued. He had been upon the beach all day ; he had be'en hand ling rope and line: he had been ready at any moment to launch his own boat among the breakers. Leslie, to had been abroad. She had been in several houses, espeeialy in those whose young children were of the same age as Leslie. In all she met the same abandon ment; whether the heads. of .the families chanced to be young or old, worthy or un worthy, mattered not ; they were now the sole thought, the object of racking anxiety, lamented over haforchand with sore lamen tation. 11 they were safe, all was well ; if they were lost, these wives and mothers were bereaved indeed.

"Evvry man of thorn, thank God.'' Ile was spent with his exertions ; he was revered and incoherent; she let him speak on; &tailing the minutest particular. She even said with animation, and the tears in her eyes— "'l'lietr protector and deliverer ! God will Wyss you fur this, Hector Garret." lie bent his head, but he held out his • Will you bless me, Leslie b" Els voico Niles thick and hoarse; it petri fied her, so still was she—so dumb; and at that moment there came a loud knocking at the dour, and importunate voices demand ing the Laird of Otter. He obeyed the summons, spoke with his servants a little time, and returned to find Leslie in the same arrested posture, with Ihe same blanched face. He had resumed 'his seaman's coat, and carried his cap in his hand. He was echo now, and smiling, but with a face Wall and shadowed with an in expressible cloud. "It way not: be, Leslie," he said - , - soft and low ; " Nigel Boswell's boat is in sight, struggling to make Earseraig ; he was al- ways rash and unskilled, though seaward born and bred. If he has not forestalled, his boat will be bottom immost, or crushed ' '-o glass within the hour.

I did not love you once ; I love you now.— I love a living woman truer, higher, holier than the dead; and for my love's sake, not for my vows—the first for love, if it be the last." He had her in his arms ; his lingering kisses were on her eyes, her hair, her hands. Ha waS , done, and still she remained rooted i) v to the ground, smitts , Was it amaze ment, anger, terror '?!—=or as it a wild throb of exultation for that, th real moment of their union? or because' she had won him c t —she was his who . 1u slighted her, sinned . against her—but wh was still Beater Gar= rot, Manly, wise, and oble—the haft of her girlhood. . , .

She ran up itairs, but she did not seek her child, and when she de scended, Bridget had still to fetch her man tle and bonnet. Tho old woman did not seek to detain her ; but as she peered out af ter her and wrung her hands, ejaculated through_her chattering teeth, "She will bring the Master back if any thing can ; naught will harm her. I, poor miserable wretch, would but clog her swiftness. Ay ! he will hearken to her voice ; he has been waiting for the sound weeks and months.— Who would have said that Master Hector, like Samson, would twice be given a prey to a woman I lie will hear her above the winds and waves ; body or soul, he will obey as he did Alice Boswell twenty years ego in fire and ruin." Leslie hurried on in the darkness, her lit tle foot tripping, her slight form borne back by the Mast. Not thus had she wandered on those sunny summer day's when she first knew Otter ; but there was that within, in the midst of her distress, that she would not have resigned for that light. life twice over. She reached the beach; the roar of the surf was in her ears, the shriek of the wind, but no human presence was visible. There flashed beck upon lier the vision of her hope lessness and helplessness on such another blustering; raging night, but the rocollce thin brought no comfort. She paused in dismay, with nothing but the mist and driv; , ing rain before her. Stay I obscurely, and at intervals, she caught sight of a light, now borne on the crest of these giant waves, new sunk and lost, at their sport and mercy. ark I. a pistol-shot I that must be Boswell's appeal for aid ; and yonder lay ..larlscraig— yonder also was Hector toiling to rescue his ancient friend and persistent foe. She should Ire there too. At Earlscritig their destiny should be wrought out—the end attained. Leslie sped along in the tumult of earth and sky ; the road was more than a mile, at such a season and in such weather, toilsome, dangerous—but what deeds have not tender women achieved, strung by love or hate, When Leslie gained the promontory, she found the old house deserted—the few ser vants were on the shore, aiding or watching Hector Garret and his men in their elforts to save the last of his line, east away within the shadow or his rocks and towers. Leslie shrank from descending iimong the spectators, she remained spent and breath less, but resoluteditill, where she could spy the first wayfai hear the ,first shout i)f triumph, and ,turd away in the darkness, fleeing home unmarked and undcouncil. It was the first occasion on NO irh she hail been close to Earlscraig. The situation, at all times eximsed, was now utterly forlorn. The spiiity was rising over the land, the waves were sapping its foundation ages old, the weird v,iinis tearing et the tubing of the shattered' house ; on the side where :1. lie, Boswell's turret had stood, stones were rumbling, wild weeds:dreaming. The seeno was ‘viv dismal and eerie, but Leslie did not shudder or Eil.ll , l!S were bent tine aim, she WllB iilllll'ry itals to 7111 else, Chu sank down in a Icneelinr position. star ing with miwinking.eyes, petting with her whole heart in an agony. The light which hurl beguiled her, after tossing for some time to and fro, pa-soul beyond her sight ; she could not regain it, she could only continuo ready to seize the first signal of bliss, iir woe. It did not come. The storm raged more. madly ; the desolation grew m,, re Hy; ; Leslie's began to whirl ; the solitmle was ritl• with shapes and voices, Above all stood fair Alice Boswell, wreathed in white flames—from wavering &loudly mass of forms the gallant exile plunged anew into the flood, now seething and rushing to meet its prey. "Oh woman—Alice sßoswell—l did not steal your lover; you kept him from me long after God and man had given him to me. T ere are no vows and caresses in the grave. We have had but one meeting and parting : butone ! Oh, stranger, he is spend ing his life for her brother, as you were ready to fling down yours for her. Will none of you be appeaseth? Then take us both; in mercy leave not .the other! In death let us not be divided !" The pang was over; Leslie passed into in sensibility. When she recovered herself the spectres of that horrible dream still flitted around her, for did she not distinguish through the sUrge and the blast Hector Gar ret's foot speeding to receive his doom ? But "Leslie," not “Alice " was his cry. Beneath the very arches of Earlscraig, where fair Alice Boswell had stood, her rich hair decked for one, her bright eyes sparkling for another, her sandal buckled for a third, and waved to him her band, boob enough for her slave.

A WoNEER.EuL DREAM. Everybody has heard, wondetful stories of dreams that entire true, resulting in marvelous discov eries of wealth, revelations of crime, and n ysterious information of various sorts. Skeptical people are at liberty to believe, of course, what they please, but the fol lowing story comes to us well authen ticated, and the finale is, we think, quite original. The dreamer was a gentleman residing in' ono of a row or houses in a street in a neighboring city. To mention names might be unpleasant. He dream ed one night that he had discovered at his house a hidden closet, which was stored with silver and other valuable tirtieles, sufficient to set him up in the world as a man.of wealth, Tn the morning he told his wife, who, like a sensible woman, ask ed him what he had eaten before he went to bed, and warned him of the ill effects of into suppers. The next night he went to bed as usual, when lo ! the stung dream was repeated, To doubt any longer would be to fly in the nice of fortune that was opening the por tals of wealth to ths; happy dreamer. Ile resolved upon an exploration. Modern - milt houses, put up in rows for specula tion, to sell or rent, do not present any architectural intricacies where a eloSet Might be Stowed away unperceived ; the lines are rectangular, and every inch of space saved, The bidden closet with the treasure must be somewhere in the walls. With a hammer the dreamer went about the house, sounding the walls. for indict• lions of the con ealed . receptacle. At last his search Was rcwnded. A blow struck on the wall brought forth a metal lic jingle in response. He struck again. and the sane musical echo came for t h. liewilderim , visions of wealth arose 'be fore the delighted searcher, Ile called his wire to behold the redint ion of his t,re,.tu Tw o or t hree vigorous blows brought d nvo the plaster from the wall. broke through the lath, and revealed an apetnre, through which Mr —thrust Iris hand, and brought forth a handful) of spoons and forks': .Mrs now suggested that they hail better proceed cautiously, and keep their good fortune quiet. The hole in the wall was covered up, and the happy couple retired to discus s their fortune. In a few minutes they were startled by a violent ring at the front door-bell. Mr.—responded to the summons, and found on the steep his next door neigh bor, in a state of intense excitement. " Are you the proprieotr of this house?" said the visitor. "•I am," said Mr.—. "Then, sir, allow me to tell you that there is a robber in your house, who bits been committing burglary on my prom• ises, by breaking through your wall into a closet, and stealing my silver wire. countenai.ce underwent an extraordinary change of expression at the truth flashed upon him. He rushed up state's to take a closer inspection of his secret closet when the true state of the case was soon disclosed. The ,houses were separated by a partition wall, and ? qr.—had realized his dream by lima le • ing into his neighbor's premises, and had " struck silver" in the stoPerooin next door. k'full explanation had to be made to sat• isfy the injured neighbor. The spoons were restored, the well repaired, and the strictest secrecy enjoined and promised, but the joke was too good to koop, and wo publish it as a caution to ,people ad dicted to dreaming. _ BUROL ARS.—They go to work scien tifically. They will run if there is a chance of escape, but they won't run if they think a bullet will go into them. To show the presence of mind as well as perse verance that these men have here, is a case: 0. K. B. said to us once that he was taking the impression- of a look- for a clothing store when a policeman came up and'accosted him. He turned his back on time door; feigned drunk, and was help: ed by the policeman into a ear. tae 'took the impression with him, tnado a ,key to fit, and was going into this store, and the wagon ready to receive the goods was with ' 1 in cough call ;•vind as he had the key in the door, up came the propreitor of the store Who was on his way haul© from the theatre, and bad passed that way to see if all was right.

THE SILENT TONOUE.—The art of si lence, if it be not one of the fine, is cer tainly one of the useful, arts. It is an art attained by few. flow seldom do we meet with a man who speaks only when he ought, to speak, and says only what he ought to say! That the Bible enjoins its attainment is most manifest. It •corn wands its to make t door anda bar for the mouth. It declares that if a [min bridleth not his tongue, his religion is vain. I he attainment of this art will enable us to avoid saying foolish things. We of ten speak without reflection, and, of con sequence, Wish thoughts, or expres si, us destitute of thought, are uttered. Possessed of the art of silence, we shall not speak that which ought not to be spoken. Again, It will unable us to lvoid saying lintel ol things. Since we are placed in th world to do good, anti since the entliavinent of speech is one of our greatest moans of influence, it is most unseemly for us to utter th wl ich shall do injury. Ile whose busi ness is to root out the hires should not scatter their seed It will unable us to govern our feelings and direct our trains of thought. Ile who gives expression to his feelings increases their strength e who gives expression to anger, for ex ample, ineteas(s its power over him. Ile who gives ut t erance to improper thoughts, will increase their number. It will in cr•ease our influence with our fellow-men. " A fool uttereih all his mind, but a wise keepeth it until afterward." Gravity and reserve are associated with wisdom. b;ven un effccted gravity is sometimes effective the true art of silence, ever. We can be useful only as we are influential. A CHEMICAL FREAK —A plating cru cible is made and maintained red hot over a large spirit lamp Some sulphu rous acid is poured into it. This acid though at common temperature one of the most volatile of known bodies, pos sesses the singular property of remaining fixed in the red-hot crucible, and not a drop of it evaporates; in fact it is not in contact with the crucible, but as an - at mosphere of its own interposed. A few drops of water are now added to the sul phurous in the red-hot crucible. The diluted acid gets into immediate contact with the heated metal, instantly flashes off, and such is the rapidity and energy of the evaporation that the water remains behind and is frozen into a lump of ice in a hot crucible! from which, seizing the moment before it again melts, it may be thrown out before the eyes of the as tonished observer. This is indeed 1- ‘ a piece of natural magic" and as much like miracle as any operation of the forces of nature could produce. It is certainly one of' the most singularly beautiful experi ments imagianblo. It, was devised by a French savan, t 6 illustrate the repellant power of beat radiating front bodies at a high temperature, and of the rapid ab straction of heat produced by evaporation. A Hoax EXPOSED.- French journal ists certninly.:surpass our own in their announcements of startling discoveries of lost manuscripts by great authors, so cretdrawers which are'lote-letters by un furtunate queens, pots of Boman and Green coins, and Pompcia4 excavations. Very recently, particulars of a Pompeian thea tre, with the _interior of a rich man's house—the guests at table, and the viands in the dishes----'-have gone the ~rounds of our own as well as the European press. A well informed correspondent, however, contradicts these- aissertions. as follows "The . notices - of - certain •rettiarkable - Aie eoveries lately trade at Pompeii, fxvith a.

INFLUENCE OP AFP,EcTrox.—There is a good deal of cant about involuntary af fection in the world, and all that; but young lady should ne.ver let such foolish notions enter her head. She should al low the pride of conscious strength of mind to, keep her above every foolish, vain and nonsensical preference ,toWard this precious top and that idle attendant on a lady's will. She should 'lay it up in her heart as an immutable principle -that no love can last it not based upon a right and calm estimation of good quali ties ; or, at least, that if the object upon which it, is, lavished be not are whose heart and whose head are both right, misery will surely be her portion. A sudden preference for a stranger is a very doubtful hind of preference : and the la dy who allows herself to be betrayed into snob a silly hind ocaffection, without knowing a word of the toan's character or his position, is guilty of an indiscre tion which not only reflects unfavorably upon 1 er good sense, but argues badly for due nature and groundwork of that affection. NO, 38. DISAPPOINTED LOVE.—.To a man • the disappointment of love may occasion some bitter pangs. It wounds somefeet- Ings of tenderness, it blasts some pros pects of felicity. But he is an active be ing; he can dissipate his thoughts in the whirl of varied occupations, or plunge in to the tide of' pleasure: or, if' the scene of disappointment be too full of' painful as sociations, he can shift his abode at will, and taking, as it were, the wings of the morning, can fly to the uttermost parts of the earth and be at rest. But woman's is comparatively a fixed, a secluded, and a meditative life ; she is more the com panion of her own thoughts and feelings ; and if they are turned to ministers of sor rows, where shall she look for consolation? Her lot is to be wooed and won ; and if unhappy in her love, her heart is like sonic fortress that has been captured and abandoned and left desolate CutittAN's CASE.—Curran, on one oc casion, was employed ,on behalf of the plaintiff in a ease of assault. The plain tiff had called the defendant some ugly names, and threatened him, and the de fendant had taken the law into Ms bwn hands, and thrashed his opponent. Cur ran, however, would n 731 hear of any pal liating circumstances. The plaintiff had keen struck by (be defendant; no matter whaL.offenee bad been gi ven, the defend ant had no right to strike and abuse his ill-used client, etc. " Cut ran," said the Judge, "if a tnan wet you in the street, called you a scoundrel, and "pat in your lace, what would you do?" Whni wouhtfl dor' said Curran. " I3cdad, knock him down as flat as a paicke!” It is almost unnecessary to say that the plaintiff lost his case. AN IMPUDENT ACTOR..—Reeve was in the habit of taking great liberties with his audience—h e would interpolate dread fu ly; nay, when he forgot his own part he would coolly improvisatrise his share of the dialogue, without the slightest ref erence to his brother performers. On one occasion he was acting the lover to Mrs. Fitzwikiams, who was a plump lit tlè actress, in a scene where she holds out her hand to Reeve with this speech: " Can you refuse anything tc your P, 1.4 s I ?" Reeve, looking ut her plump hand, cried out "'"in ? Pwc fat ! I call it." " Pr's Mullin , 11 - Artn."—A minister who bad lost his wife and had become wearied of his second edition of the sin- gle state, was once instructing a congre gation from the passage, " Use this world as not abusing it, etc." In the course of his remarks he took occasion to inention some things which a Christian could dis pense with in this world. In the catego ry he placed a wife. He bad, however, scarcely said, "" A man may do without a wife," when his own experience stoutly protested, and he finished this branch of the subject by saying. in the simplicity of his heart, " but, my brethren ) it's !nighty hard!" A HAPPY FAMILY.— « Is that your husband, ma'am'?" "Ho be." "Is that your wife, sir?" "She be." "Ah, that ,s pleasant; 1w bee and she bee can hardly fail to taste the sweets of life in perfection.
