[13 1 5.2 9Jltt• THE INVISIBLE cr.P A FAIRY TALE. Tax hero of the following sketch was one Jack Humphrey—a youth of great parts, so far as a long application to books would render him—ex tremely wise in his own conceit, as most young men of his age are apt to be—very fond of the fair sox—sensitive to a fault, and as jealous as an Ita lian: Phrenologists of the present day would pro bably have discovered upon his pericraniurn seve ral bumps that would have developed a:I the na tural propensities of the individual more fully than we shall attempt to do. Humphrey was in love with a fair, blue-eyed, cherry-cheeked damsel, named Julia Aleadows— she was beautiful, both in person and manners— affectionate as a turtle-dove,and as constant as the sun, yet withal very fond of showing herself, like most pretty women, to the best advantage, and se curing the homage of every sprig of fashion. It happened one day, us Humphrey had return ed from a long jaunt in the 'Groves,' that he dis covered a stranger in Miss Julia's apartment, who upon a nearer approach, provedlo be a gentleman dressed as an officer. He was very busy inspect ing the dress of the fair Julia—not merely with the eye, but actually clasping a fold of the gar ment within his hand and was lavishing praise both upon the texture of the article and the beauty of the wearer. Poor Humphrey! lie knew but little of the artifices and peculiarities of the wo man, and this shock, slight as it was, nearly petri fied him. He at first determined to enter the apart t»ent, suprise the couple, and abandon Julia fore ver, he next thought of challenging the unknown individual who had no sadly marred his peace— but a moment's reflection left hint like Bob Acres in the play—his courage having completely oozed out of his fingers' ends. At length, Julia's asso ciate having sufnciently admired her wardrobe, kissed her band, and left the apartment amidst a thousand little civilities. Humphrey retracted his steps towards the Groves to vent his feelings on the "desert air." Lovers arc easily ruified—the smallest zephyr that would hardly raise a tempest in a tea-pot, is sufficient to set all their feelings in motion. ,Tri ilea light as air,' &c., is very applicable in most cases, but the present had not half the foundation to pin the adage as that which first caused Bill Shakspeare to give it to the world. It nevertheless rested like an incubus upon Humphrey, and re quired more philosophy than he was master of to throw it off. It was sun-set—the moon appeared like a burn ing world on high, decking the heavens with her glorious beams—the zephyrs gently played among the groves,and every leaf echoed the sweet music of nature; such a time and place as Humphry chose for cool reflection, would have been deemed by a poet a perfect paradise. But our hero was not in a fit state of mind to appreciate the lovely scenery, which at other times would have lulled him into tranquility. Having arrived in the midst of solitude, he gave vent to his feelings in the fol lowing soliloquy: CHAPTER 1.-JEALOUSY Humphry (soles)—"The pet fidious, un 'feelinr." woman. 1 have been betrayed and uped, but she shall know that I have ills. .overed her. It was but yesterday that she 'Vowed eternal constancy to me—l declared like a fool that I loved her, and she answer ed me with tears in her eves that her affec tion for me was most sincere—incapable of a shadow of change. Oh the dissembling baggage! He kissed her hand—the villain! She invited him to call again— the inconstant! What shall I do? to pour (Oral my resent ment upon her would but cause the unfeel ing woman to laugh at me, and again draw 'me into her net. No!—I'll wait for the next interview, rush upon them unawares, arid they shall both feel the weight of my resent. ment. What would I give could I but en ter Miss Julia's apartment unperceived and listen to their conversation. Oh that by some supernatural magic, I could become "W hat would you give?" re-echoed a pret ty voice at a distance. Humphry was fora moment aroused from the deep revery into which he had fallen,but fancying the sound was created by his own imagination, he again relapsed into medita• Lion. He had now explored a considerable distance into the deep recesses of nature— a small valley appeared in view—the tall and luxuriant g rass waved gently with every breeze—no other sounds were heard save the murmuring of the feathered tribe and the gentle rippling of the pastoral streams leaving the green herbage in their romantic windings. Humphry continued his walk, and ever and anon muttering the hitter part °lbis soliloquy. "What would I give could I but become invisible." "I WIEIII NO OTHER HERALD, NO OTHER SPEAKER OF MY LIVING ACTIONS, TO KEEP MINE HONOR FROM constrmort."---snexe• 62W&IrZZ2V310ZU 0 pro J 4 2311)(117 0 2)202 X23.rarß asp assauc. "What would you give?" again was wall. ed upon the breeze in accents sweet ano The sound appeared to proceed from a small stream near by, which flowed among the caverns of some iron bound rocks, so romantically thrown up as to lead one to the belief, that they were wrought by the hands of Fairies. The moon seemed to touch the crystal waters with her bright beams; filial phry had scarcely reached the edge of the stream, when out popped a little figure with a face full of wrinkles, and dressed with all the colors of the rain•bow. The little old woman cut so many comical capers that caused flumphry to forget his troubles and burst into an immoderate fit of laughter. "Well old lady what is your will with me." "Not so old as you think, young madcap —I am a Fairy, and this Grotto is the abode ',flirty flintily You just now wished to be made' invisible—l have the charmed tabs• man—now what would'st thou give to be what thou so much desirest?"

"The Fay's deal not in g,o!d, young man, we catch the first rays of the sow beams as they fall from the East, and plev with the silver dew•bells upon the green leaves—our province is the air, and our food the honey from the opening buds. Thy wish is on• natural, it savors of discontent, but it shall he grat fied. The Fairy waved her hand, and a score of sisters sprang from the rocas. "Get thee within the magic circle," said the Fatry in a sharp voice. Humphry did as he was commanded, and in an ißstarit he Maud himself encircled with "Mark spirits and white, Blue spirits and grey." who alter cutting sundry antic capers, whiz zed off in the twinkling, among the rocks.— mphry's head was very dizzy—his whole body seemed to be moving like a top, but a light touch of the Fairy's wand brought him into conscinusness. "The Talisman you require is now ready —thou bast drank deep of Minerva's fount, but you are ignorant of human nature—this will teach you wisdom—it will lead thee to look at things as they are, not as they seem to be—it will show the moving principle— that pendulum which causes the whole ma chinery of the human race to be put in mo tiou. It will dispel the delusive mist from thy eyes, and teach thee a lesson that will be of essential service to thy future happi ness. The Talisman is at thy service—the price of it will be paid by thy own sad exile• rience. The Fairy placed a cap upon Humphry's head with these words: "This will render thee invisible—the charm lasts five days—that time will be suf ficient to learn thee the elementary prinei• pies of that great lesson which thou should's! be master of—alter which return thou with the Talisman to the "Fairy Grot'—if thou littlest, the charmed cap shall be taken in nn unexpected moment, and thy nose severely tweaked tin• the neglect The fairy vanished, and Humph ry was once more so/us. This adventure thought he, will at least be of some service to nie.— II is feelings had now become changed—sod he retraced his steps cheerfully through the Groves. He was much pleased with his success, and hastened with all speed to Miss Juliu's apartment, to investigate a very weighty matter. On entering, he found the stranger by the side of Miss Julia. The conversation was as follows: "Dearest Julia, it gives me much joy to find you so happy; I despaired some in 'lulls ago of ever beholding you again, as I was attacked by the prevailing sickness of the cl;mate, which bus tar so long a time been my abode." "I have often thought of you Charles," said Julia, "indeed,scarcely a day has pass. ed for these six months, but I have spent a full hour at the pier from whence you took Your departure." This was n poser for poor H u top Iffy ,w o sat all the time in one corner of the room listening eagerly to the conversation. "Julia," said Charles, "I see you still re tain the ring which I gave you." "Yes," she replied, "and I hope always to keep it for your sake." "You have anothei pledge,which you no doubt esteem highly," said Charles with a Julia blushed •• May I beg the permission of a closer examination," said Charles, reaching forth BEM Julia modestly placed her hand within his and Charles gently drew from her fore finger the ring but recently presented to her by Humphrv. "A friend," said Julia. "A lover, you mean—A h, Julia!" "Oh, no; merely a friend," replied Julia, with an air of affected indifference. "The perfidious woman!" muttered Hum• phrv, in the corner. Our hero's patience was almast exhaus'• ed,and he was on the point of throwing off the cap when he felt a sudden rap on the knuckles; recollecting an appointment, he left the room. "It is as I expected," said he, "sho shall at least know that I can resent an injury. 1 will now go to my true friends,and endeavor to bury my disappointments in the conytO. alines of the evening. CHAPTER 11.-TIIE GAMESTERS. Humohry eniert,d the "Club Room," where he found many "friends" waiting to receive hini. The Company were soon sent. ed—the wine went round the board, and the laughs of the bacchanalians echoed gaily through the hull. "Come, gentlemen," said one, "let's have soother cup all round—the wine sparkles yip, and no time like the present." "That's right, Tom—the bottle is t ho only true consolation alter all—so bumpers all round, and we'll bury the past in the wine cup, and drink success to the tbture." "That has the right relish. it makes the blood tingle down to the fingers' ends. We've got one bottle left—it seems to be a pity to separate old acquaintances, so we'll finish it, and now for, friend Flu mphry's toast. But how is this, ()Lir friend looks us sober us a quaker minister." "He only waits for the spirit to move," said II irry Takeall, "a little of the nectar of tho bottle will soon bring him too. Come tiumphrv, give us a toast and make yourself sociable." liumphry was about to comply, when he determined once more to try the effects of the invisible cep. lie left the room, under the pretence of adjusting a little business be low, hut soon returned invisible. "Tom, don't you think Ilumphry is very shy?" •' Yes," replied the person addressed, "he wants a little coaxing—he's a "Ilitt''—a little inore of the elixir, a few games with my pat ent cards wit do the business. If I don't take the lining out of his pockets, toy name is not Tom Clincher." Humphry was now more surprised than ever—he had, Ihr the first time, been able to discover the real motives of his pretended friends. He felt some( huo , at work behind his car, and the Invisible Cap was suddenly dutl'•d "lltimpliry," said Tom, with surprise. "did'iti see you enter the room—beg pardon 'pun to soul. Elope you will excuse u s _ now, pray, help yourself to wine." "I have no occasion for wine, sir, and as bu , iness of importance calls me away, I wish you all a pleasant evening." .V homould have thought .'sa id Ilumnhry as he hft the hall, "that rho very individuals in whom I have always placed the most im plicit confidence, would have proved treach• erous; thanks to the fairy, I have escaped the snare into which they would have led me--the "Invisible Cap" has discovered a faithless woman and treacherous villains,who would, under the cloak of hypocrisy, have completed my ruin. Ilenceibrth I will act with more caution—as for women, I will no longer be tempted by their delusive smiles --no one of them shall ever boast of having entangled me an their net. Yet why should I condemn them all beeauso Julia has prov ed false? No, that would be uncharitable. There are many eery amiable females in the world, and I do believe the Miss Trifips to be of that nutnber. This is the very even• ing that the young ladies are to give a party, and I was requested to attend, if I could make it convenient; egad I will make it con venient; they are all very accotnplished,and my trine could not be spent to better advan tage. Htimpbry hastened with all convenient speed, to the abode of the Trifles. CHAPTER 111.-SCANDAL. "We did not anticipate the pleasure of your company this evening, Mr. Humphry," said the elder Miss Trifle, as he presented himself at the drawing room door. "I am extreoiely sorry to interrupt the company by my late appearance, but believe me t--that is--" "No excuse," said Sophronia, the elder interrupting him. "Pray make yoursel perfectly at home." Ilumplity joined the party. "We are extremely- sorry that Julia did not accompany vou," said Eunice "she is not ill, I hope?'' "Oh no," said Ilumphry carelessly. "She has probably a previous engagement on her hands," replied Le elder NI iss Trifle; "you know she is never at a loss for, means to drive away the ennui. "Miss Julia is very happy in securing the attentions of the young gentlemen," said Eunice, addressing herself to the ladies, "I believe she has already made a conquest of t he st ranger we so much admired yesterday." "A conquest!" repeated Humphry with astonishment." The Trifles well knew of the attachment which had so long existed between Julia and Humphry, and although they had always professed the strongest friendship for both, still the superior qualifications of Julia ren dered her an object of envy among that par ticular class of butterflies, of which the Tri fles claimed pre eminence. The sensitive feelin2s of Humphry and the appearance of the stranger were very important points,and gave the Trifles an excellent opportunity for the exercise of their peculiar powers. "Then you have seen the gentlemen,Mr. Humphry," said Sophroma. "He's quite the thing, I assure you—the very paragon of politeness. Miss Julia no doubt found him a very agreeable companion in her walk yesterday--sister Eunice arid I saw them in the Park, but we did not join them fir fear of disturbing a very agreeable tete a fele in which they were sn much engrossed." The conversation at length took another course, which greatly relieved Hutnphry from the embarrassing situation in which he was pia cod. "Miss Plastick promised to be of the par. ty this evening," said the elder, "but she is so fickle that there is little dependence to be placed on her. Do you not think that there has been a great change in her disposition acid manners towards Mr. Humphry?" "Indeed, Miss Trifle, I have not observed the change."' " Why. how can you say so," resumed the elder, "she is so petulant that no one can possibly enjoy her coMpany." "It is ovenmhispered," said Euntce,"that something of ti'More serious nature than n violent licalache, cati.;es her to ho so murk indisposed of late• L--the clandestine inter courses between Miss Plastick and a cer tain young gentleman, are considered very mysterious. But I would not firs the world suspect Miss P. of the slightest act of im prudence." No one knows where the conversation would have ended, had not the servant an nounced Miss Louisa Plastick, and the la dy'v character was for this time saved from reproach. The Ti ifles,with their usual du plicity, received Miss Plastick with smiles and caresses, and she soon found herself in the fashionable circle, without being in the least aware oftho whin (pool which had only a few minutes before surrounded her. Hum phry begged leave to be excused for the evo, nine; he was conducted politely throug!) the drawing-room,and each of the Trifles sent a very affectionate request to the "dear Ju• Ilumphry could not possibly forego the pleasure of again trying the virtue of the "Invisible Cup," although he did not dream of the discoveries he was about to make. He placed the charm upon his head' and reentered. The servant was again passing the wine from one guest to another, the colloquial powers of the women played with redoubled energy. . "Did you not perceive, Eunice," said the elder Trifle, "that Humphry appeared much confused whenever you made any allusions to Julia and the stranger?" "I did indeed, sister, and it was with dif ficulty that I retained my gravity—poor fel low! I really pity him!" "The fellow was never made for genteel society," said Mr. Frederick Fancyful; 'he's got ton many books in his head; now I ab• hor hooks, they make one so confounded stupid! I never can read without going to sleep; no gentleman of fashion should ever read." "I agree with you, Mr. Fancyful," said Sophronia, "that Mr. Humphry does but lit tle honor to genteel society, he is so stiff and awk wit rd,and goes to such ridiculoulex. trernes. Did you know it is rumored that he has already sent a challenge to the stranger?" • "Ha! ha! ha! was there ever anything so ridiculous! the idea of so exquisite a gentle man as the strai.ger fighting with an Esqui• meaux Indian! I shall positively expire with laughter! The fellow will never do for the , 1 new school, 'pon my soul!" . I ' As for Julia," continued Sophia, "they do say that there has b.en a. strange affair between her and a certain gentleman who shall be nameless. But I have too much te. gard for the lady to credit any such report.' The Trifles had now arrived at an inter esting point,and each member took an active part. The company separated at midnight, and flumphry sought his pillow to meditate on the past advehtures. CRAFTER Dr.--THE DEVELOPEUENT. The fifth day arrived which was the extent of the Fairy's charm. Humphry had already made many important discov eries, which however painful they might have been to his feelings, had fully verified the Fairy's words; to improve the last op portunity, he determined once more to reconnoitre Miss Julia's apartment. It was evening—the last rays of the sun ting ed the western horizon as llumphry entered the boudoir; has rival, for such he now con sidered the stranger, was as usual, Seated by the side of the 'faithless one;' the happy pair were very agreeably engaged in con versation and poor, Humphry sought a relit. ed corner and became a quiet listener. "1 am very sorry, Charles,' said Julia "that you are so soon to deprive us of your company--1 cannot think your busines. so very urgent that you cannot extend your visit another week." "Indeed dear Julia, my huqiness is of the utmost importance, and if you knew all you would fully agree with me." "I dare say it is sonic ball or card party, or perhaps to meet a score or two of friends all ripe for sporting on the turf that you talk so much about—indeed I can never guess, so do tell me for I am all impatience.". "I am surprised that you have touched almost every subject, and passed the very nail a female is always sure to hit." "It can't be a love affair." "You've hit it at lust—so without any further preamble, I will tell you at once. 1 am on the eve of matrimony! and to seek the bride of my. choice, is the important business of which I am so eager to attend." 4 , Well, brother, I am surprised—l should have discovered the "important business" it it had been any one else, but you who have been so earnest a promoter of celibacy—l must laugh, though it be at your expense." The reader may well suppose that Hum phry was.very agreeably surprised at this disclosure. The hour had passed when the "Invisible Cap" should have been returned, and his only anxiety was to escape from his hiding Owe for fear of being betrayed by the fairy. His fears were realized, for on reaching the door he felt a severe tweak of his nose; the cap vanished, and Humphry was once more propria persona. " Mr. Humphry,' said the fair Julia, "you have taken us by surprise,this time, l was just taking leave of my brother." "1 beg a thousand pardons for interruping you," said Humphry. "No interruption 1 assure you, on the contrary you are quite welcome. Shall 1 make you acquainted with my brother, Charles Meadows—Mr. John Humphrv." Our story would be incomplete, did we not add that the discoveries made by the "Invisible Cap",were kept a profound secret --and that Miss Julia Meadow eventually became the bride elect of Mr. John Hum phry. , Man passes his life in reasoning on the Past, in complaining of the Present, and in trembling foi the Fiitm-o!

Mernrstorcr.—A little before tho revolutionary war, when parsons were scarce in the upper part of Virginia, a certain English parson relates that having to stop there once, seven couple came from a distance to be married at the same time, and ac commodations were so scarce that the seven cou ples "did sleep that nitht in an old barn, upon a pile of straw." Voltaire complaining to a president of mit', - liament, that in a certain law suit the parli ament had given a decision quite repugnant to common sense, was answered—"even the best horse will stumble sometimes."- "But a whole stable full of horses ought not to stumble," was the quick reply. "John," said a careful father, "dont give cousin Simon's horses too many outs; you know they have hay." "Yes thur," said John, moving towards the barn. "And hark ye, John, don't give them too much hay, you know they have oats." INTELLECTUAL PLEASUREB.—When a young man has acquired a love for reading, and of course a relish for intellectual plea sures, he has one of the best preservatives against dissipation. Fondness for low com pany, and noisy and intemperate pleasures, are generally the consequence of ignorance arid want of taste. SHOE BLACKING.— Perhaps the best in the world is made of Elder berries.

Put a small quantity with a feather on a_brush, rub the shoe till there is a fine gloss. The same will make a good writing ink.
