"But are you sure, my dear, that Clarence Har dy would approve of itl" asked her mother, with a smile that brought the rich colour into her daugh ter's check, Dolls. Cis 108 01 4 , 0 h! that would make no difference—l sh.lll al ways choose to hive a will of my own, andl an very BUM that Clarence will never oppose my wish 230 32 246 10 am not so certain of that, my love. Clarence has indeed, hitherto, been willing to submit to your caprices. Excuse me, my dear, if I make use of a strong expression; but I think you exact too many sacrifices from him. He is noble minded and generous; but still I think he possesses a de termination of character which donee roused will be difficult to overcome." "Oh! lam not afraid of that. He knows my spirit too well to think I shall ever obey." And she tossed her beautiful head in disdain nt the idea. $655 324 A shade passed over the mild face of Mrs. De levm as she looked withall a mother's fondness up on the young and lovely girl before her. Pride I sat throned upon her beautiful brow, and she felt nt that moment that she would have given all the wealth, the luxuries of her splendid home, for the gift of a humble spirit to that child. "Listen to • me, Francesca," said she, drawing her to her side--“ You know, my child, how high ly we esteem Clarence Hardy, and with what per fect confidence in his high-mindedness and integri ty we bestowed such a treasure upon him. Be lieve me, my dear, that you will' estrange the no ble heart that is now wholly your own, if you per sist in thus acting against all his opinions and feel ings. Some little deference should be paid to his wishes, which are never unreasonable, and there fore I advise you to tell him of this invitation be fore you conclude to accept it;" , --and, leaving her daughter to ponder upon her words, she left the room. Mr. and Mrs. Deleval had one daughter, Fran cesca, and two younger children. Francesca's pride and haughtiness of character gave great un easiness to her parents, although her very faults were overlooked by those who know her, for her mart was generous and affectionate, and she was gifted with much talent and beauty. Clarence Hardy was some years older, and she was much attached to him. Ho was reserved in manner, but his feelings were noble, and his disposition amia ble. 'He was the advisor of Francesca, and, until latterly, she had been governed by his wishes.— And for the change in her demeanor ho could not account. but attributed it to her aciiunintance with the Miss Mortons, who were gay, dashing, fash ionable girls. Clarence Hardy sat gazing upon the face of Francesca, as, sunk in reverie, she leaned her head upon her hand. After a few moments of silence she started up, and, meeting his earnest gaze blush ed deeply. "What have you been thinking of, Francesca'?" ho asked, with a smile. '•Of a request I was going to make," she re plied. "though I am not sure that you will ~agree $171 9 , 8 to it." 137 97i 8655 321 984 60 64 28 70 "Then it cannot be one that I ought to grant, if you thus fear to ask it, fn. I am not very unreason able, dear Francesca. But come, dont keep mo in suspense," he added, taking her hand, with a smile playing on his lip, for ho guessed well, from her manner, that it, was something that he should not approve of, and he was amused by her unwil lingness to speak. "Why;l have received an invitation to Mary Mor ton's party, and mamma would not let me send my answer until I had consulted you. But I have made up my mind to go!" A shade of diSpleasure and mortification cross ed his fine face. .:It, were useless then to consult me, Francesca.

He took her hand, with a look of keen and ear neat alTection--"Have I ever b.en unreasonable, dear Francesca, or advised you but for your own happineml But the Miss Mortons I consider dangerous acquaintances for any young lady. You know that I seldom express my opinion, but I think that the manner in which they live, free from the controlling, influence of moral and religious prin ciple, and repaying friendship with the slander that lurks beneath a honied tonguo,is a sufficient reason for wishing you to avoid their society. I will not visit diem and you will oblige me by declining the invitation—though it may cost you a dull even-, ing at home." 38 00 20 00 7 25 10 00 30 00 $1739 98 3t-7 Francesca's eye flashed. i.Give up myAiends merely because they do not suit your taste!

Anti she tried to release her band, but he firmly detain ed it. "Since this is your resolve, Fradcesca," and his voice trembled as ho spoke, "hear me soy, that we part now forever. I have borne your many cspri- cos, and have tried to overlook your faults. I loved you with a deep and true allltction—but I consider good temper an essential requisite to Ten der the fire-side happy. And you do not possess the jewel of a meek spirit. If the world's trials should come, and humble that haughty heart, you may then sigh far the love of him who would wil lingly have shielded you from even the passing breeze;—and now farewell." And with one sad, lingering gaze upon her pale face, ho released her hand. “I thank you for restoring me my liberty,” she bitterly replied. ""ris a sweet gift; and now, fare well forever," and she left the room, with a proud step. Francena's smile beamed bright in the drawing room of Miss Morton, and she lead the dance, and breathed the thrilling lay as though her heart knew not a touch of bitterness. Anil in her home, her step was still as proud, and, her eye as clear, as if the shadow rested not upon her spirit—but the. mother's eye was not deceived. She saw the strug gle in Francesca's heart; and ns she gradually be came cold and reserved, oven towards her, she felt that her child was changed indeed. T Ito name of Clarence was as a forgotten sound in their dwcl line-, and they heard that ho had gone abroad. Days of trial came, and in less than six months from the time our story commences, Mr. Deleval was declared a bankrupt. Francesca saw all the furniture of their splendid home disposed of at pub lic sale, and shed no tear. Many associations of happier hours rendered some of the articles dear, but the coldness of her demeanor never gave place to oven an appearance of emotion during the try ing scene. Her piano and guitar were both sold, and it was may then that her mother saw her lip quiver, and her pale cheek become a shade paler, and knew that the thought of Clarence Hardy had occasioned the change. They bid adieu to all the scenes that seemed as a silver link to bind them to the past, and retired to a small cottage that Mrs. Doleval owned, and which, through the liberality of Mr. Deleval's creditors, had been restored to her. It was a summer evening, and Mr. Deleval, who had been absent all day, returned wearied and dis pirited to his home. He gazed upon the mild pale face of his wife, and felt how nobly she had sus tained the reverse of fortune, how sweetly and pa tiently she had ministered to all their wants, and poured the balm of sympathy and consolation into his soul, even whilst she was sulfering for the com forts that her invalid state required. Francesca's bounding step had become languid and slow, and the father's heart yearned for the sunny smile and thrilling tones of old. Change bad indeed cent its gloomy mantle over their once happy dwelling; and even the playful smile of his little Emily, and the mirth of her laughing brother, could not win . him from his brooding thought's. An'old and attached servant and his wife, who had belonged to Mr. Deleval's father, had insisted, with the strong attachment which the African race feel towards a kind master, upon accompanying them into their retirement. Old Cato entered with a letter. "A letter for me," said Mr. Deloyal, rousing himself from his reverie. "Yea, massa, me jilt git him;" and seeing his master's dejection, "me hab got the swing fixed— Come, Massa William, come, Missy Einmy, Mas sa be tired." And ! ho took the children from the room. Mr. Delevel opened the letter, and read it; and then raised his eye to heaven, as if in thankfulness, though a deeper shade of sadness rested upon his brow. I was a moment of mingled joy and grif.— He approaChed his wife. "Emily, my love, I have an offer, a very lucrative one, from Mr. Danvers— but I shall be obliged to go to Europe. It rests with you whether I accept it; but I think it a sacri fice I ought to "make for my children, although the separation may cost me many pangs." Mrs. Deleval's cheek grew very pale, but she commanded her feelings. ~M y husband! do not let a thought of me doter you from the path of duty. I shall have strength given me from above to meet every trial; and our children require your utmost exertions. Mr. Delev al gave his wife a look of warm approval, as he pressed her hand, with much emotionfeeling how sweet was the love that smiled upon him, even when dark clouds were hovering over his head. Francesca, who had loft the room upon some slight pietext, now entered. Her father called her to hie side, and communicated the contents of the letter he had received, and added, as he kissed her affectionately--""When I return, my child, I liope that I shall be gladened by ono of the smiles that so often smoothed my path in days gone by. I can hardly realize that it is my once warm-hearted Francesca who is so reserved and cold to those who have ever cherished and loved her. It has given me much pain; and forgive me VI revert for once td the past and ask you if Mr. Hardy wrote to you before he loft the city. I have never been in formed as to the cause ofyour unhappy separation, neither would I wish to solicit that confidence which my child withholds; but I see that you arc unhappy!" .4 am, I am, my dearest father," exclaimed Fran cesca, throwing herself into his arms, "and my own ungoverned temper has caused it all." And she wept and sobbed,as though her heart was break ing. "Oh!" said she, as soon as she could speak, ""you dont know how miserable I have been—l could not shed a tear, and when I saw all your trouble, and thought what a friend Clarence would have been at such titirne, as he is so generous and wealthy, I thought! should never forgive myself. Oh! I have so longed to open my heart—but you never mentioned him, and all my feelings seemed so dead and chilled, I could not—and then Clar ence, in his farewell letter, told me how disappoin ted he was iri my character, and that in. his second choice he should hold a meek, humble spirit of more value than wit or beauty—and I felt as if no ono loved me." Mr. Delevel took the opportunity of leading his daughter's thoughts to a higher source than things of earth, and impressed upon her mind the necessi ty of ruling her spirit, if she would gain love. She promised to obey his injunctions, and retired to rest with a lighter heart than she had done for many weeks. Mr. Deloyal had been gone a year when the check of the little Emily, the youngest and dearest of the family, began to fade; and, like a sweet flow er, she was passing to a better home. Francesca had obtained many a conquest over her own proud heart, and as the consciousness of doing well her duty gave cheerfulness to her mind, she became more like the sunny being of earlier days. Emily had been Clarence's favourite, and she too had lov ed her with an alMost idolizing tenderness; and she bent in agony over her bed, as the beautiful little creature, who had numbered but seven sum mers, clung to her to the last. A few moments before she died, she took hot Bible, a gift from her father, and put it into Francesca"s hand, and fell asleep for over, murmuring—Adie leadeth me be side the still waters." Often, often did the bereav ed sister read the little volume, and, raising her thoughts alan;e,_ find consolation. and support— and, guided by its precepts, she learned the value of a humble spirit. Three years had now passed away,and Mr. Delo val was dal!) , expected. He had been uncommon ly fortunate in butiincs., and his family looked for ward to his return with feelings of gratitude and joy. Francesca had formed an intimacy with Anna Roseville, a young lady in the neighbourhood, and was on a visit to her when she heard of his arrival. She immediately hastened home, and, to her ut frost surprise, found him accompanied by Clarence Hardy. They met with the indifference of com mon acquaintance, and few would have deemed, from their demeanour, that they had ever been betrothed. Clarence was introduced to Miss Rose ville, and soon took evident pleasure in her socie ty. One evening when they were absent, Fran cesca took up Anna's guitar, and, hardly conscious of any meaning,warbled forth the following ballad: "No love is like the first love!" Sane the lady of Glentyle, As in her father's castle proud, She touched the lute the while. "No love is like the first love!" Thus sang the lady pale, And her raven hair o'er cheek and brow, Fell like a darksome veil. "No love is like the first love!" The lady's tears fell fast; She thought upon a bright, sweet dream! A vision of the past! • A gallant knight in lands' afar, Had won the lady's love, And proudly in his helmet placed, A white and 'broidcr'd glove. They said the false knight bent the knee, At an eastern lady's shrine; And the glitter of her dark eye loved More than the diamond's shrine, Two weary years had passed away, And the Indy of Glentyle An orphan dwelt in lordly halls, • And sadly sung the while. "No love is like the first love!" As the murmurs echoing died, A youthful knight in glittering mail, Bent at the maiden's side. • His favour was a 'broider'd glove! His motto—brave and true! And as ho bent in homage there Her own true knight she knew. "No love is like the first love!" Thy song is very sweet; , And the lady turned with blushing cheek, The glance she loved to meet. As she concluded. Clarence and Anna Roseville came in, and the extreme devotion of his manner to her friend, made her own heart somewhat sad, though she knew that Anna's amiable disposition was well calculated to win Clarence's regard and esteem. He complimented her upon her song.and then, pleading business, took leave. Francesca passed the, remainder of the evenim with Anna, who was unusually animated,and then retired sadly to her own home. "Will you be my bridesmaid, dear Francesca?" asked Miss Roseville, a few days after, as they were walking together. "Next Tuesday is the day." Francesca looked at her in amazement.— "You need not look so amazed, my dear," she ad ded, "I wished to put it off, but Clarence would not consent." Francesca seemed as if in a dream, but she call. ed her woman's pride to her aid, and, answering in the affirmative, turned away, and seeking her own home, locked herself into tier room, and gave way to all her grief and misery. This was a death blow to her hopes, and she nerved herself to bear her bitter part. There were only the members of the two families assembled in Mr. Roseville's handsome drawing room, and Francesca and Anna, habited just alike, were waiting the entrance of Clarence in a small room. Anna was jesting upon the secrecy with which they had conducted the affair, so as to baffle the prying curiosity of the villagers, and Francesca was nerving her heart to hear the approaching trial. She walked to the window, and, contrast ing her friend's lot with her own desolate one,sigh ed deeply, when suddenly someone took her hand, and looking up, she met the earnest glance of Clar ence Hardy. She indignantly withdrew it. "Mr. Hardy, your bride awaits you." "Then come, dear Francesca, for no other one I own. Forgive this stratagem," he added, seeing her very pale. "Your father, mother, and my mer ry cousin, Anna, were all in the secret, and from her I learned the change in your character,although you thought her a stranger to me. The license is ready, and now, when I know that you possess gentleness enough to forgive worse offences, will you not forgive me this slight one?" The revulsion in her feelings was too great,and, with ono quick gasp of happiness, she fainted on his bosom. When she recovered, she learned that to him her father was indebted for a competency, and that he had ever watched over her, although she thought herself forgotten. And as she gave her hand to him who so well deserved it, she bless. ed him for the lesson he had given her, which, though bitter • at the time, bad led her to strive, and win the jewel of a meek . spirit. To be angry, says Swift, is to revenge the faults of others upon ourselves. Men too often spend their lives in the service of their passion% instead of employing their passions in.the service of life. Little minds rejoieirever the errors of Men of genius, as the owl rejoices at an etlipse. • Deferred articles. At the late charter election in the , city of Albany, N. Y. the Van Burenites were blown "sky high," the Whigs having suc ceeded by an average majority of 3431 Last fall, the Whigs were defeated by 95—mak• mg a change of 530! But the returns, so far as received, of the late election in Virginia. shows that the "do i's ahead." as usual. there being 13 Van to 6 Whig members of Congress. A considerable "sensation" has been pro. duced in Bolnto, N. Y. in consequence of the Chancellor havine ordered the doors of three of the Banks of that place to be closed. This is said to have been done to bring them to the test as to whether they have not violated their charters. They are said to be solvent. A bill providing for the immediate pay ment of the hills of all Safety Fund Banks which shall have ceased to redeem the same, hao .. passed both the Senate and the House, and was immediately sent to the Governor for his signature. Arthur Tappan, and J. N. Leavitte Co., are among the "houses" t het havegone by the hoard" in New York. They each show a surplus over their liabilities of half a million of dollars, yet because they could not raise some 2 or 300,000$ to meet en gagements; they had to "stop." From the. Lancaster Examiner• Charles B. Penrose, Esq. It is not to be expected that an individual who occupies so large a space in the public eye—who stands so deservedly high in the estimation of his fellow.citizens, as does the gentleman whose name heads this article— should escape the shafts of envy and detrac tion. There are, in every community,what are not inaptly termed '‘lercllers"—men of narrow and contracted views, who having no merits of their own to raise them up, seek to drag down to their own level all those who have become exalted by their talents, their virtues,and their devotion to the public good. No man is secure from the attacks of these vultures. Like death, they prefer "a shining_ mark," and accordingly those who stand highest in the public mimed are unvariably assailed with the most bitterness of spirit. It should therefore not be a mat ter of surprise that the vials of Masonic wrath should be emptied to their very dregs upon the devoted head of Charlea B. Penrose. It is not in the power of the followers of the Lodge properly to appreciate the motives that could induce an honorable man to sepa rate himself from a large majority of his per. sonal and political friends, and to sacrifice all hope of political preferment upon the al tar of the public good. Men whose every principle of action may be traced to the promptings of interest,—men who are Ito. customed to revere and regard the institu tions of their country, only in proportion as they contribute to their own self advance ment—can hardly be asked to do honor to the motives of those who lay aside all sel• fish considerations: and act with an eye to the public weal alone. ft is therefore not a matter of wonder that those who control the columns of the Lancaster Intelligencer should find fault with Mr. Penrosa.— Though but a short time at the editorial desk, they have not been backward in man ifesting their devotion to the interests of the lodge and their dread of its power. . The mere mention of the fact that Mr. Penrose had addressed an Anti-Masonic meeting at Gettysburgh a few days since, has aroused all their ire, and he is held up to the public as having been guilty of some crime ofmon. strous enormity. His voting for the U. States Bank' is in the estimation of these venerable sages of democracy, a matter of no importance when compared with his avowal of Anti• Masonic principles. A man may be guilty of all manner of politiCal enormities; he may be a friend to the Bank, a federalist, a nullifier, a radical, an agra rian, or any thing else, and yet be received into the favor of the Masonic • party; but if , he breathe one syllable against the lodge, though he- were as pure as an angel, he is immediately singled out as the target for the Masonic arrows, and every means which ingepuity can suggest, or malice prompt, is resorted to in order to eruah him to the dust. Those who have been attentive observers of the political events of the last two years, cannot fail to have noticed that, although Mr. Penrose rendered himself obnoxious to some portion of his friends by his vote upon the Bank question, the' attacks upon .him were extremely mild in their character,when compared with the flood of caleniny which was poured upon him immediately after his speech and vote upon the silt to suppress Secret Societies. His course upon the bank question would hayerbeenrpassed over in si lence, or at least with bat a feint show of disapprobation...it he had treated hti gainst the enormities of Pree.Masonry.- was his bold !itid•manly attack upon:the rt.: bominations and iniquities of the Lodge— his masterly expose of the innumerable frauds and-Outrages that had for years been practised upon:an unsuspecting community by a ritieret• and irresponsible power—that called forth the attacks of eeerylietty press that wore a Masonic_ collar. The this that has induced them to single out MG-Penrose from amongst those who voted With' him On the Bank question. as an object deserving of their especial hatred and abuse; and it is this that has induced the editors of the In. tell igniter, at this late day, to devote half a column of their paper to an attack upon his conduct and motives. • It would be an insult to the Anti.Muons of the distract i. which Mr. ' • resid 's-digeo. to suppose that they would Putler him 10 fall a victim to these outpourings of Masonic. vengeance. His term ofservice in the E3en ate expired with the laqt session,' and we doubt not that he will be triumphantly re elected to the station which he has filled with so much credit to himself and admit. tage to his constituents. • , PENINISYLVANIV CANAL.--The Collector lit Allegheny, Pa. reports, that the amount of tolls received at that office since theopen. ing of navigation, to the 6th inst. is.

To Farmers anti alechasties. It is well known that the readiest way to kill trees by girilling, is to make the cutting high up the tree. But in cutting•over tim ber land, if the intention is to have.another speedy and • thrifty growth of timber ' , 'the trees should be cut CiORC to the ground and then vigorous sprouts will starts in abun dance, and not be likely to be broken by winds or by cattlq browsing, as when cut in the usual height of 10 or 12 inches,•r- The sprouts can be thinned out to any des :rabic distance, to admit the air and sun.— Trees growing on high, dry and open land are tough—have less sap, and are more solid than such as grow on moist land ior swamps: Elm and beech are good and dn. ruble timber to be laid under water, andthe elm is said to hold a nail under water better than any other timber. Some ttinher, as the oak, chesnut, and maple decay first in. ternally or at the heart. Not so with the yellow locust, red cedar or white mulberry. These are probably the best timber known for fencing posts, In the scale for durabili ty the yellow locust has the precedence— red cedar the second, and white 'Mulberry the third. Yet many contend that the white mulberry, for fencing posts; are inferior only to yellow locust. Aside therefore from feeding silk worms with the foliage of the white mulberry, the attention of the farmer is directed to set the white mulberry around the borders of his pasture and other lands, and to cover some allies waste places with the yellow locust, not only for f ticing posts but for ship timber. . White wood and, wal nut are tough and useful for many purposes, [but the heart will be brittle.
