THE TWIN FLOWERS. "Will you buy my flowerer said a Ilea , looking little girl, addressing herself to a young lady in Chesnut street, and holding out at the same time a small basket con. taming some roses. They are newly blown and fresh; buy a red rose for your hair, Mias.i—here's ono that will look delightful! twined among those pretty locks." "Not a rose, my child," said the lady, there are thorns among them; but I'll take take this little flower, it looks so lovely and sweet; oh, its a Forget-me-not?" "Pardon me, Miss," replied the child, "that flower is en aged." "To whom?" To master Charles eland. "Charles Leland, indeed," said the lady, "well hut there's another, what a beautiful pate." "They are twin flowers; they are both for that gentleman," said the little girl. "Oh, a fig for him,' said the young lady. but an arch smile played upon her cheek as she said it, something sparkled ih her beautiful dark eye, that told a tale her lips refused to utter, while she ingeni ously marked both' the favorite flowers, and returned them to the basket; then choosing a little bunrh of roses she walked home, leaving the flower girl to visit the rests of Ater customer.

But• once the thoug,ht stole over her bosom, perhaps they are destined for. (moth. err Ste binished it with a 3 sigh, and it had nearly escaped her, ere Charles Leland en• wed. She rose to receive him,. and he gently took her hand; "'Accept," said he, "my humble offering and forget me"—Har riet interrupted him as he attempted to place a single flower in her bosom—"where is the other," said she, playfully putting back his hand. A moment's silence , eneu• ed, Charles appeared embarrassed, and Harriet recollected herself, bluihed deep; ly, and turned - off; but the flower was not offered again, and Charles had only said forget me. This could not have been all he intended, but mutual reserve rendered the remainder of the evening cold, formal, insipid; and when Leland took his leave, Harriet felt more than ever dissativfied. As it was not yet late in the evening, she resolved to dis sipate the melancholy that this little inter view, in spite of all her efforts to laugh it, left on her mind, spending a few moments at a neighbor's whose three daughters were her most intimate companions. The youngest of these ladies was a gay and intoresting girl, and first to meet and welcome her friend, but as she held out her hand, Harriet discovered a little flower in it; it was a "Forget.me-not;" she , examined it; it was Leland's; the mark she had made upon it when she took it from the basket of the flower girl was there. This was at the moment an unfortunate discovery.— She had heard that Charles frequently vis ited this family, and that he really paid at tention to Jane, but she had never before believed it, and now she shuddered at the idea of admitting that • for once rumor told the truth. "Where did you get that pret ty flower, Jane?" said she. "Oh, a beau to be sure," said Jane, archly; don't you see—Forget-me not," as she took back the flower. "I should not like to tell where I got it, I'll wear it in my bosom, come sing." I'll dearly love that pretty flower, For his own Bake who bade me keep it, I'll wear it in my bosom's "Hush Jame," 'aid Harriet, interrupting her, "my head aches; and your singing distracts me." "Ah, it's your heart," said Jane, or you would not look so dull."— ' , Well, if it is my heart," said Harriet, as she turned to conceal her tears, "it does not become a friend to trifle with it." She in tended to conveY a double meaning to this reply;.but it was not taken, and as soon as possible she returned home. A sleepless night followed, and the more she thought about it the more she felt. She had engaged her hand to Leland six months, the time appointed for the union was approaching fast; and he acted thusl— if he wants to be freed, from the engage ment," said she to herself, 4 ‘l will give him no trouble;" and she eat down and wrote, requesting him to discontinue his visits.— She wept over it in a flood of tears; but re. solute, until she had despatched the note to his residence. Then she repented of it, and then again reasoned herself into the belief that she had acted right. She wait ed fur the result, not without many anxious ly cherished hopes that he would call for an explanation. But she only learned that the note was delivered into his bands; and about a month afterwards he sailed for En gland. This was an end to the matter.— Charles went into business at Liverpool, but never married, and Harriet remained single, devoting her life to the care of her aged mother, and ministering to the wants, of the poor and the distressed around her. About forty years atter Leland left Phil adelphia, Harriet paid a visit New York, and dining in a large company one day, an old gentleman who it seems was a bachelor being called upon :o defend the fraternity to which ho belonged front the asperities of some of the younger and more fortunate part of the company, told a story about Philadelphia, a courtship and engagement, which he alleged was broken of by his ca• pricious mistress for no other reason than his offering her a sweet new blown Forget me.not, six weeks before she was to have been his wife. "But was there no other causer asked Harriet, who sat_ nearly op posite to the stranger. and eyed him with intense curiosity. "None, to my knowl• edge, as Heaven is my witness." tl'hen what did jou do with the other flower?" said Harriet; the stranger gazing in aston ishment. It was Leland hunsell; and he recognized his Harriet, though almost half a century and passed since they had met, and the mischief made by the twin flower was all explained away, and might have been forty years before, had Charles said he had lost one of the Forget-me-nots, or had Jane said she found it. The old couple never married, but they corresponded constantly "'afterwards, and I always thought Harriet looked happier after this meeting than ever she did before. Now I have only to say at the conclu sion of my story to the juvenile reader, nev er let an attaohment be abruptly broken off; let an interview and a candid explana tion speedily follow every misunderstand ing. For the tenderest and most valuable affections, when won, will be the easiest wounded, and believe - me, there is much truth in Tom Moore's sentiments: something light as sir—s look; A word unkind or wrongly taken— The love that tempest never shook, A breath—a touch like this has shaken."

A French paper relates the story of an inhabitant of Rouen, who placed in the hands of a banker of that city, 1000 francs, which :le bad laid by to purchase a milita ry substitute for his only eon, should be chance to be drawn. The banker failed, and the 1000 francs were lost. An only hope - remained to the father, that his son might draw a favorable number; but, in this too, he was disappointed, and his sun was drawn as a conscript. Driven to de spair, the unhappy father drowned himself a few days ago in the Seine, and by this Melancholy act, the son, as the only child of a widow, becomes exempt from military service. GralignanOs Messenger of a late date, re lates the particulars of a scene truly appall. jug. and in Which a father, mother, son,and daughter. were all victims: About two years ago the wife of a farm ing man at Becu, in the Nord, on seeing her son broughthome bleeding from a wound occasioned by an accidental fall,lost her rea son, and ever since continued a lunatic.— She was, however, mild and gentle, and inspired pity without exciting fear of evil consequences to herself or others. One day last week, however, she got up into a loft, and wrapping herself closely round with straw, set fire to it, and was in a mo ment enveloped in the flames. Her son, hearing her screams, hastened to her assis• lance, and was almost,at once on fire him self. ' Still he would not abandon his moth er, but continued his endeavours to save her, till the floor, which was Permed of loose branches of trees, gave way, and they fell together down into the stable below, were there was more straw, which immediately ignited. The father, at this mornent,rush. ed in, foliwed by his daughter, and both of them fell senseless upon the burning heap, being suffocated by the smoke. Soon after wards, the neighbors aware of the fire, ar med at the horrible scene.- They were met by the eon, bearing out the almost charred body of his mother, which he car ried in his arms to a ditch filled with water near at hand, and plunged in, hoping' still to save her life as well as his own; but his filial resolution was of no avail; they were both so severely burnt that they expired a few minutes afterwards. The father and daughter also, revived by the tortures they suffered, made their way out; but it was only to follow the fate of the other two suf. ferers, as they both shortly afterwards died in the severest agonies. About twelve years ago, says the Nouvel ste des Ardennes— "The daughter of a farmer in the aron dissement of Mezieres was married to a young man of a neighbouring village...- Alter a few months, the wife was attacked with symptoms of mental alienation, which, in a little time, assumed all the character of confirmed madness. The husband took her back to her father, conceiving that in his hands there would be a greater chance of her recovery. The lather received her, but soon finclina , the charge too onerous, contrived the following means of disposing of her. He privately constructed a species of case, formed of four planks, between seven and eight feet long, leaving one of the extremities open, and fixed it upright in his stable. Having enticed the poor creature to place herself in it, he closed the place up, and there left her standing, utter• ly precluded from escape. He daily sup : plied her with food, letting it down from the top, she having just room enough in the angles of her narrow prison to rise her hand and carry it to her mouth. Of course she was constantly kept standing on her legs, without the possibility of changing her position. Thu 9 she was confined for a period of nearly twelve years, till a short time ago, when she was discovered and re. leased. Wheri taken out, she had lost full a foot in her height, and her appearance was more that of Bonne nondescript animal than of a woman. She had no speech, but uttered inarticulate sounds, borrowed from the cattle, whose voices alone she had heard during the whole period. A judicial inquiry is making in the case. The details of this case are so ,atrange and . unnatural, that we cannot suppose them to be true." „.

A TOUCHING .STORY.. A DREADFUL TRAGEDY. ANOTHER PAINFUL STORY. Ostmre or GLA..BO.—In the neighborhood of St. Jean d'Acre I passed the river Being; and here it may be remarked how often do we find from the most trivial circumstances, I discoveries have arisen of the very highest importance. Some Btdoniau merchants carrying nitre, happenedto atop at the mouth of the stream, and not finding stones to set their kettles on to cook provisions, piled up sand and nitre for this purpose, when, by the action of fire on these ingre• dients, a new substance was d;scovered. namely, glass, which has added so much, not only to the comforts of life, but the pro- grass of science. The sand of this wall continued for ages to supply the manufac tories of Sidon with materials for that beau. tiful production; and in the seventeenth century vessels were employed at St. Jean d'Acre, to remove it to the glass houses of Venice and Genoa. It may be added,that, under the Emperors, windows were con. etructed for a certain transparent stone, called tapic specularis, found in Carmel, which is close to Belus, and might be split into thin leaves like a slate, but not above five feet in length.- -«.~.«-- A worthy man died, leaving a rich and beautiful widow—the clergyman of the pa rish (a widower) accompanied her home from the grave and spoke in condoling tones of the loss she was bewailing. The clergy man being a kind and tender-hearted man, told her by the way of consolation, that her loss was not irreparable, and intimated to her in terms not to be misunderstood, that he should be happy at the proper time to marry her. To which the widow replied, "Oh, my dear sir, you are too late, the dea con spoke to me at the grave." A NATURAL CURIOSITY.—The German. town Telegraph says, that a Mr. C. S. Chandler, of Abington township, Montgo mery county, has a calf several weeks old, with two mouths, two sets of teeth, two tongues and four horns/ It appears to be in good health, and eats with both of its mouths. Too Tugs.—The National Gazette, in the following article, gives a vivid and just description of "man's ingratitude to man." True it is that those for whom we have la bored with all our might, mind and strength —whom we have been instrumental in bol stering into power—are the first to look down from the lofty eminence they have gained and consider us as unworthy round. in the ladder. Many an one who has toiled and done the drudgery of party, has felt the pangs that wither when neglected by such as have objained elevation by hie exertions. The public, we may say without incur. ring the charge of egotism for the senti ment, is under many obligations to editors of the newspaper press. In general they do far more than any one pays them for ade quately, even when all is given that is ask ed. * * * Yet are they o ft en not only forgotten, but proscribed by those whom they have most served. Used while their labors are needed, and cast off ungraciously when their favor is esteemed of no farther avail, they generally endure patiently the ingratitude with which they must 'become familiar, and silently permit others to bear away the meed of profit or applause which is properly their own. What a tale Could almost any editor or proprietor of a pees, with a few years' experience, toll of nThe insolence of office, and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes!" A mite from each of the myritia whom he has specially served would satisfy the dreams of oriental avarice. But the world thinks he should be contented with the satisfaction of having acted well his part; and he in time learns almost to think so too. He may put his shoulder to the wheel , of some nobody's car, and push him up to the summit of influ ence or power; and when he suggests the propriety of a reward for his toil, find that the vision of the great man is so dazzled in glory of his elevatien that objects in his former level cease to be perceptible. WHO WANTS A CHEAP HOME?—We learn from the Southern Shield that the Legislature of Arkansas have passed a law offering great inducements to those disposed to emigrate. "It is well known," says the Shield, "that a large district of country, embracing some ot the best bodies of land in the State, was many years since, set apart for Militia Bounty ' lands. The owners, in most cases, dead, or scattered through the distant States. The land has been neglected, and either sold or struck off to the State for the non-payment of taxes —and at this time the State holds some of the best land in the counties of Philhps, Monroe, St. Francis, Poineett, Green, Jackson, Independence, Arkansas, Pulaski, White, Conway, kard, and Lawrena; which, by the law referred to, is offered as donations to actual settlers, free of all charge. Each settler can, by going to the Auditor's office; select, a tract of land, not more than one, quarter section and by a settlement thereon secure himselfa honie." —.Memphis Appeal. It was quite diverting a day or two since, to see a white man sawing a cord of wood, while a black fellow stood looking on with his hands in his pockets, giving directions, viz: "Put dat tick a leetle to de middle oh de horse/ stop, etop, put dat eas tic on de top and saw dem bote togedder. Lift up dat log out ob de gutter. Saw away fusser, you lazy rascal, you don't am de salt ob your porridge."

FUZE AND Loss OP LIFE —The Nation al Theatre, of New York, was entirely destroyed by fire on Sunday Morning last. On Friday, an attempt had been made to set it on fire by an incendiary who kindled heaps of combustible matter, in no less than six different places, which were all extinguished with but little injury to the building. The next morning, a second at tempt was more successful. Mr. Russell, who•resided in the theatre, discovered, the fire about halt past 6 o'clock, and had bare ly tints to carry out his wife wrapped up in the bed clothes, before the whole of the in terior was enveloped in flames. The walls of the building were so very weak, that the fireman were continually in danger- The rear wall fell upon a house of ill-fame before the inmates had time to make their escape, killing a young and beautiful girt, named Margaret—, only sixteen years old, and who came from Phil adelphia on the previous Tuesday. The Herald says: The young girl who was killed presented a sad spectacle. She was lying on the floor of the back attic, the roof of which was all gone, and the whole, open to the' light of day. Surrounded by bricks and mortar, and pieces of burnt timber, there lay that young and recently innocent girl, with nothing around her small limbs but her night dress, her side crushed in near her heart, her mild blue eyes open in death, apparently gazing on the blue vault of hea ven above her, her very beautiful fair hair streaming dishevelled down her neck and bosom, th'en white and cold as tho parian marble. ' and yet from the smile playing around her mouth, it seemed impossible to realize that she was dead—so young—se fair—so guilty and ao early called. Around, bar stood one or two of her former compan ions in shame, weeping bitterly, and the roup was made up ot the toil.worn smoke. overed firemen, Who had extricated her mangled remains from the ruins around , her. .A MURDER, AND LYNCH LAW OVER• RIILEM—We learn that ri negro slave lately killed his master, a Mr. Mackey, in Clarks ville, Pike county, Missouri. He knocked him down with a fence.rail, and then cut his throat. The excitement was very great on the account, and at a meeting held, a proposition to burn Wm was lost by a lei? votes.
