I am sorry to hear

They say it's a fact

Like a spoiled minx as you are;

I am sure you can't say
You've not had your way

Just wait for the season
And listen to. reason,
Nor believe what your false lovers say;
Pur their prayers and their sighs,
And their flattering lies,
Will lead you to ruiti some day.
Though they promise so fair,
Gay deceivers they are,
From the one whom last evening you kissed,
To Hammond and Rhett •

MIS CELLAN Y.
From Dallou's Dollar Xonthly.
Miss Leonard's Farin, and how
She Managed it.
BY A. M. LOVERING.
Miss Fannie Leonard turned very pale,
and dropped the letter which she had
been reading, from her nerveless . hands.
Looking the whole- world over, at just
that moment, one would scarcely have
found a more. frightened or surprised per
son• than was this same Mis, Fannie.
ider eyes—large and exceedingly blue—
were distended half - way from her head;
her mouth—quite broad, but very rosy—
was wide apart; her curls—a brown, silk •
en cluster back of either car—treTbling
as though they were at a frolic watt the
wind.
Miss Leonard had fallen into possess
ion of a fortune! Not a large one, ac
cording to the world's reckoning, but to
her idea, one that was surprisingly vast.
The young lady bad had a rough time of
it with life. By this Ido not mean that
she had ever been a street beggar ; but at
txn early age she had been left fatherless
and niotheiles.s—to look out and shift for
herself in the world. Not being content
ed to sink down with the ignorant masses,
and having quite an idea of educating
herself, she found she had something be
sides play before her. At twenty-five
(for it'takes time to work these changes,)
she was a well informed and genteel ap
pearing-lady, and but for a certain sharp
ness which comes from hard•contact with
he world, and an occasional show of bit
terness, which seldom finds its way into
the hearts of the home sheltered, one,
would not have suspected that her walks'
in lite had led her in any other than the
most refined circles.
Eff2E13378
But no Miss .Leonard bad a fortune
—a farm of some forty acres but a few
miles removed from the pretty inland city
of M--, among the hills of New Hamp
shire. "That farm," so wrote the legal
gentleman who had managed her eccen
tric relative's affairs for years. "needs the
immediate care of some one; and it is my
advice that you should take up your res
idence there at once."
Blessing her deceased uncle for his
kind.theinory of her, and dropping a few
tears for .something, she hardly knew
what, Miss Fannie went about athering
up her little stook of movables which
'heretofore had included her whole stock
of worldly goods. This was no great
task. She had a box of books which
must be carefully pa.:ked—a black silk
dress which must be folded so that it
would not Wrinkle—beyond this there
wasn't much to care for. In a .mat vel
ously short space of time, she was on her
way to feeling a little lonely, per
haps, but strangely independent.
Whether to laugh or cry, she did not
know, when the coachman set her down
at the door of her new home. She thought
she had never in her life before looked
upon so comical a house—one patched up

POETRY.
TO CAROLINA
hC ONE OF ITER SISTERS
COUDERSPORT, POTTER COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1861.
in so many different styles, as though the
builder had been intent upon pleasing a
score or more• of persens, each one differ
ing-essentially from .the other- in taste.
In front there were large trees; and over
the windows looking upon the road, scrag
gy rose bushes , and vines ,hung, matted
together in - a.solid mass p_fleaves. The
front door, which she approached with
some" trepidation, had the appearance of
being newly painted, and what to - her
seemed exceedingly ludicrous,- its color
was bright yellow, which contrasted viv
idlywith the sombre gray of the house.
• " The old people were inakiiig repairs.,"
she said to herself as she-raised the knock
er and gave a heavy rap. . •
The old people were a worthy couple
who had served her uncle fur years, and
who ,would look to her for a - otne—so
said the legal gentleman—during the re
mainder oft, - ..ieir tiles.
" You are Mrs.- Dearborn, I believe,"
said-Fannie to the old lady, as she'. made
her appearance, " and I am. Miss Fannie
Leonard. I have come to live with you."
So saying,.Miss Leonard walked into
the house like one having a right. She
had, indeed, and she was not (timid.
From that moment she was perfectly at
home.
The morning following she went over
the house. She was a neat, tidy person
age herself, and consequently was not
pleased with what she, saw. She was a
little nervous too; and- as the old lady
threw open doors and closet; displaying
grimly paint in one direction, and cob
webs, dust, and rubbish in another, she
was obliged to exereise4!considerable self
eetnmand to keep- from" speaking about
it. But finally, she did 'wilt was a great
deal wiser—put on an old dress and webt,
to cleaning. She louked her bands at
first (she had kept them very' pretty and
delicate in spite of explthing,) but a
second -
glan - q , at the -paint determined
her. - -
Now that-very afternoon, Miss Fannie
Leonard met with a. sad mishap. She
was cleaning paint in what had been her
uncle's room, a quaint little place with a
low, wide window reaching to the around,
at the back,af the .house, and as often as
she wished to change the water in her
basin, threw it out upon a path That ran
near by. The last basin of water she
threw into some one's face. She started
back and clapped her hands.
"-Mr. Dearborn 1" she exclaitned, try
inae' to control her laughter.
Looking out of the window for- the
space of half a minute, Miss Leonard. saw
her - mistake. A stranger stood in the
path, wiping the dirty water from his
.
eyes and mouth. The young lady - could
not think of a single Word to say. But
the gentleman
_remarked quietly i .raising
his eyes, " Clean water next time, if you
please."
" Certainly, sir," answered Miss Leon
ard, suddenly findina r' her - tongue.
She was too red to apologise, and
arching her neck, she turned straight to
her work again
It was not long before Mrs. Dearborn
camo to her saying that Mr. Cauldwell
was in the „sitting room and wished to
see her.
Mr. Cauldwell I" repeated Fannie,
blushing.
" Yes, the gentleman who had helped
work her uncle's farm for a number of
years past. Ile wanted to see her about
it,"
After this_ explanation she ry as as ig
norant as ever; but on entering the room
sho was evidently a little wiser.
.This
was the gentleman whom she bad treated
to the contents of her wash basin, a few
moments before. She returned his bow
as coolly as she could, and seated herself
waitin ,, r . to hear what lid ; had to say to
her. ,13ut he did not seem in aliurry to
tell Kis business. lie wandered about
from one subject to another, talking in a
pleasant, easy way, of this and that—in
fact everything, Fannie thought, brit
what be came to talk about. At last he .
hit-upon the farm. He would let his
men carry it'on for her, if she pleased,
just .as they had done fur years past fur
her uncle.
" And how was that? " she asked.
lie smiled at the .question as though
he thought it an esceediagly absurd one,
but proceeded to answer it with tolerable
race.
Miss Leonard was piqued. Tie had
the Tight .of it she knew. his drainage
explat.ation, and long liar:move upon pas
turing, together with a quantity of trash
about potatoes, oats and corn, was like
so much Greek to her. But she listen
ed to it . very attentively, and - bowed
knowingly. when he liniAted speaking:
" You uiderstand, I suppose ?" he ques
tioned.
0, yes !" Fannie answered, telling
as big a lie as she possibly could. .
"That I wish it was all at the bottom
of the - tied Sea," she wanted .to say—for
her brain was sorely puzzled. But in
stead, she thanked him as well as she
could, for his kindoess, - and informed him
that she thought she wouli be able to
manage the farm herself.
Mr..oaUldwell-Smiled again, and hiss
Leonard thought to herself :that be was
the most-disagreesble man She had suet
in all her lifetimue. •
.Now I pray; my reader not to Think
my heroine. was a foolish, or senseless
girl; on the contrary,,she Possessed more
than au ordinary share of ctimmon sense.
But somehow she had' taken it into her
head that Mr. p: Wished to! advance his
own interest, rather:thau hers.
"If there is anything which I can do
to assjst you; Vshall be pleased to do it,"
said Mr. Cuu'dwell, rising to go. "My
place joinsyen, •may 'have been
told." . .
Miss Leonard thanked' him, but hop
ed that she should not be obliged to .
trouble hith much. - So ended the young
lady's first intelwiew with her gentletnan,
ly but slightly Oelreoneeited neighbor.
After this she directed her attention
to farming. She was persevering, and
did.not rest until she had' her: spring's
work done.. Ti.iswas accomplished some
tine in the summer. Her harvesting
Would come in the dead of winter, she
concluded,-witli the men she hired to do
her planting.
But her greatest pride was in her gar
chit ; and a well stocked one it was too,
full of cherry treei, current, bushes and
strawberries and blackberries. In the
meantime; Mr.. Caullwell watched 'het
with curious eyes.. He had never before
in his life met With :so strange and so self
willed a young -lady. , Although klie
amused him, be could not help admiring
her indomitable perseverance and hide
peudeuce.
But a cloud came gradually upon Miss
Leonard's mind. This was -the Cloud :
Mr. Cauldwell's liens , scratched in her
garden.' They had that privilege for
years,
and' good Mr. Dearborn did not
think it, could be restricted.
"Mr.Vauldviell must shut up his hens,'
Fannie sUid'clesing her pretty lips firmly
together. -
1%.1r. Cauldwell was soon in - pOssession
of a neatly written note which informed
him as nolitelyO and decisively as possible
that his hens must lse kept at home.' He
did not reply, this angered "Miss Leonard
considerably.
"Of course he thought I was not worth
his notice I" she said. curling her pretty
lip. But if he did not shut.his Jictis up,
she'd—
She concluded the sentenoti with, a
significant nod,of her head.,
The next day the hens scratched in her
garden as,usual. Seeing them from her
window.shc bade Mr. Pearboru bring her
his gun. It Was an old fusee and so
heavy that she could hardly raise, it.—
But she took aim at the flock- of hens,
and while they scattered itione direction,
the old gun kicked her in another. Mr.
Cauldwell saw the whole performance
through the feime. 'Looking about her,
she'saw that the leader of the flock was
lying dead among the cucumber vines.
She came to a resolution instantly. She
would toss it over the fence. This she
did with considerab:e force, and it fell at
Cauldwell'S feet.
"Thank you-l" was the cool answer.
"You are quite welcome, sir," retorted
Fannie, walking away.
Two hours litter her neighbor made his
appearanec'at the kitchen door with a
well dressed fowl. in- his hand.
" - Lie hoped Miss Leonard would accept
it ! he thought it would be palatable.--
He believed Mro. Deal:born was a rare
hand at cooking chickens."
Miss Leonard laughed in spite of
herself. She was amused-,-,troubled and
vexed. In an undertone, She gave vent
to her feelings a curt French sen
tence.
Mr. Cauldwell was quick of. hearing.
In the same tune and language he answer
ed her. .
"Tit for tat," thought... Fannie, hdr
cheeks flushim She "wished that orli
ous,Mr. Caulfwell would stay at home;
he was the pest of her life." But she
said she "hoped he would call upon them
Whenever be Wished anything done in
the cooking line. She should think it
would he very disagreeable: fora gentle;
man to prcnare his own meals."
Mr.-Cauldwell opined his. eyes
,very
wide. Was it possible that hlis Leo
nard thought he did his Own cooking--
he, a gentleman who could count his
possei.sions by ,thousands ! His' pride
was aroused: lie was toe indignant for
a moment, to answer; anti too indignant
to correetthe impression which he seemed
to have made.
"He thanked her, and would remem
ber her promise. - 1
-le persumed he should
be pleased to test the genuineness before
This he said looking her straight in
the face; Fannie winced.. There was
so much insinuated in, his gniet i hutdeep
tone:
For the next :week, Fannie avoided her
neighbor. She did not knoW wity—it
was a sort of instinct with her. At the
expiration 'of' this time she received a
note from 143,:!asking her over to his
house to tea. She did not wish to go,
but bad no esciise for'declining his court•
eous invitation; consequc.ntly she was
obliged to accept.
What a polite hostllwas Mr. Cauldwell I
How' attentive an& pleasant — he was':
How admirably his hotisehold affairs were
conducted, and in what perfect taste . was!
e verything arrange about the house!
Cook his own tnealej, indeed! Fannie
smiled at her. niiSchievious -insinuation,
as she sat beftire his sumptuously spread
table. Her own looked.plainiy and poor
ly in, comparison with it. -
Af•er tea was served, Mr. Cauldtvell
sang and played to her.. He did this as
though conscious of ibis superior-perform
ance-for he could not help knoWing
what every person was so soon assured
of. But Fannie was, piqued by his-man
ner. Did he think her a novice.? Did
he think shehad neVer 'seen a piano be
fore ? Evidently sO,.by the w4' that he
turned iron it when he Initifinighed play•
ing. Now Fannie .was no mean per
former, and she lad a voice as sweet,
rich land clear as a lstnig. sparrOw. She
could not brook Mr. ICauldwell's slight.
"You have g•atified me, 13 me endea
vor to repay you;"
,said - she, bowing and
stepping toward the piano. . •
. There was a wide awake flash in her
eyes; as she said thisl—a pretty arching
of her white, slend4lneek. Mr. Caul&
well • turned around • with evident sur
prise. . • •
He said "lie knew Miss Leonard could
fire a gun -very well, but he was not aware
•
that she was a runsiman:
She did not ansiver him but touching
the keys with her (light skillful fingers.
ran through a difficult opera song with
the most perfect 'correctness. Then she
ran off into a sweet old melody, and let
her voice out - , soft], clear, thrilling and
birdlike. For Weeks she bad not sung
before and her voice was in perfect tone
now it rioted in its sudden Freedom.
"I like that," said Mr. Cauldwoll.—
"You are - making iue - your. debtor. T.—
What Was he going .lo say that Fannie
should interrupt hirm.with"Let us try
to sine:together,- Mr. Cauldwell ?"
"Certainly," 'he answered biting his
full under lin.
.
Miss Fannie weut Itome in a pet that
night after She, declared to herself
that for the future she would avoid her
neighbor, steadily and perseveringly. A.
suspipious.conclusion.for her-to come to.
Whether a wise one or not, I leave it for•
some one else to- determine.
The nest day Miss Leonard's cattle
made sad havoc With Mr. Cauldwell's
corn. He wrote lip -a note informing
her of the fact.
She put-on her bonnet and went over
to see him about it. She carried' her
purse on her arm. 1 !
"She could 'pay for the damage done
by the cattle," she', said to herself.
Mr, Cauldwell Was astounded: "He
did-not sell his corn-fodder in any such
way," be said lauU,l4ng "Ile should
shoot her cows if She did not keep them
at home," he rogui'shlv added.
She hoped he would do so; but she
should not be as generous as he had been
--that is, she should pot present him with
his game!
"That would not be very generous af
ter all," he retorted laughingly "since 1
have no cook. - Arid that made him think
of her promise. - Didn't she tell him that
she would cook for izi whenet•er he wisl.-
ed her to ?"
She' was caught there. How she
blushed over it. Mr'. Cauldwell was not
at all merciful ; he went ou talking re
gardless of her bushes.
He said he had ""come to the conclu
sion that they would, do well.to, work in
partnership. Ile thought her a very
poor farmer—he was sure ha 'was a poor
houskeeper, -
She made an effort to slip past him out
of the duor as be said this, but he caught
her hand.
-'"Ilow shall, it be?`' he asked holding .
her firmly..
Fannie bung her head, and tried to get
away.
"Answer me, •-if sou please. lam
quite serious," he said.' "Yes or no ?„"
Nov Fannie lilted; this odd neighbor
of hers exceedingly, and so she made the
wise answer - . that she should. have made,
and that .tbo_ without
,any hesitation.—
"Yes 1-
I have learned since that they are a
model couple—Mr and , Mrs.- Cauld
well. ' So ended Fannie ,Leonard's farm
ing!
A Seccision Speech.
Mr. Benjamin of Louisiana, one of the
ablest Senators from the Slave States, de..
livered in the Senateyesterday what he
evidently regards as'his final speech. Ile
announced that all possibility of compro
mise was gone,:and , that Louisiana would
soon be out of the the Union, along with
South Carolina, Florida, Mississippi,
Georgia, Alabama, ,and Arkansas. The
reason for this revolution be stated differ
