little fellow, and that's a fact," said he.
"And so your brother likes my Pink,
does he?"
"Oh, no," said I, "I dont think be likes
her very mach. He never talks to her
hatcily a bit. He knows her step,though;
but I asked him once why he didn,t talk
to her more, for she's splendid yon know."
"Yes, yes; go on, my boy."
"And what do you think he said ?? He
Said be thought it wouldn't be honorable.
She came there tolrecite merely,and if he
kept her talking, you might not like it,
for she's rich, you know, and he is pour;
and then be went to studying that old
French, There, sir," said I, thinking
mast confide in some one, "that French'
lesson is awful. You've no idea—Clar-'
ence will study a whole evening, on one
page. I've seen him do it; and he sighs
away at a great rate and once I heard
him say, 'hard i harc;!'
= "And emu, sir, he was real cross to me.
(Tke only time since father and mother
i died.) I asked him about a lesson, when
I he was studying his French ; and he said,
'Go away, Paul Oh, if it wasn't for you,'
and then he stopped. But a few minutes
after he came over and kissed me and
asked me to forgive him; Clarence did,
sir, 'Oh,' said he, 'it's such a hard lesson !"
"It's an awful study, this French,"
said the captain ; bath don't believe he
sympathized with tun a bit, for his eyes
kilted, oh. so roguish
"You tell your brother Claren i ce that
you are the best friend he has," said he,
when he left me.
One afternoon, some time , after that,
Clarence looked very pale when the French
lesson was over. "Miss Marlowe," said
he, "I am going away next week; I can
not stay here any longer. Will you please
give this bill to your father." He winced
when he gave her the bill. Clarence was
very and didn't like to ask fur
money.
I "I am sorry," said she, and her cheeks
grew as red as fire. .1 thought she was
c,
goin to cry, they grew red so suddenly ;
but she c didn't, and her red cheeks made
I her look all the prettier. "I was getting!
along so nicely with my French," she
added, a minute after.
I started ; up. "But don't; yon see?"'
said I, it's the French that makes him I
so horrid pale; he'll get as sick as a dog,
before you know it. I'm &ad he's going
to stop, Miss Marlowe."
Miss Marlowe never said another word,
but went right off; and ! Clarence,' who!
grew red when I spoke, (1 wonder if he
was angry) sat down in al chair and said'
nothing.
"I'm glad too, Full," he edid, after c;
long time ; it's the best thing we can dc,!
the best thing."
When Miss Marlowe came the next
day, she brought Clarence his money, and
me a little note. What do you think it
said ? I'll copy it.
"MR. PAUL SLADE. DEAR SlR—Vccret
you and your brother come and drink tea
with Pick and me to-morrow evening?
You shall talk to Pink all the evening if
you like, though I should prefer to have
you converse with me. Yours truly,
MARLowE."
Ljumped up, and clapped my lands,
just as soon as I had read it, even If the
French lesson ras begun. i 1 1
"Why, Paul," saidClarenct, "what is
the matter ?"
"Papa has some plan en fciol, I know,"
said Maud, "be looked so Oguisti when
he gave, me the note."
Clarence read the note butaid nothing.
"Do you want to see it, :Sliss Marlowe?"
I asked.
So she took it and read
"You will come, won't cod ?" said she,
looking, not at me, but at Cl4rence.
"Thank you," said he, I think Nye will." I
But ho told me after she bad gone,'
that be had fity , times rat i ber stay at'
home, cnly he thought it best to go.
We had such a nice time. Pink was:
really delightful. She had On a yorgeouz•
silo aress—one of your stiff, rustling silks;':
the slieves were short and her arms were!
just as white—and !the dress was blue,:
too, the color of her !eyes. She looked'
like a beauty. • j
We had a splendid supper. I sat close '
by the captain ; thy plate was put so. He
was just as kind and pleasant as he could
be. He talked a great deal to me, and!
so of course Clarence talked, Pink ; and
could see the captain's twinkling gray
eyes look over at them every once in a,
while, in such a way. ' Oh, it was a big
thing to be there !
,At last the captain began to talk to!
Clarence about Gail Himmerton,
hAve they called her; at any rate, they
said she pounded society uTatercifully.
"She's sharp," said the captaityl 'sharp
as a steel trap,' and it's a pleasure to read
her books, when they aren't about men
and women ; but she's down on them, both.
1 It seems tome her father and mother
!must be peculiar instutions. One would
!think from her 'New Atmosphere' that
her father was all ready to give her to
the Sat ma ; n that came alocg mat
_
•
- —,,a..,-
; .
ter who or 'what he was, (and if she were
my daughter I must obnfess I should be
of the same mind,) and her mother had
brought her up to think of marriage, and
nothingbut marl-iron., Are men ogres
~
and women fools? Not at all. e Depend
upon it, Gail's experinee is limited, or
1
she would have found hat there are more
tender fathers and sensible mothers in
the world than she, with her (seemingly)
direful experience, ever dreamed of."
"Pi,ulq," said he, "whot you please fitd
me that Now AtmosphFre, it's somewhere
in this house,
I believe."
Pink darted off.
"Now," said he, "th:ere l s tint!. She's
the light of my eyes. IDo you suppose I
am in a hurry to knock her off without
scruple to the first bidder. Do you sup
pose I'll be a'isappoilnted if my sweet
singing bird never leav i es this cage all the,
days of her . life. De you suppose I care
a straw whether she is an old maid or not ?

'Goode, who formerly resided in this eity.
After undergoing many strangeand start
-Iling vicissitudes in life, and buffetting the
dark waves of adiersity and misfortune,
he has at length become a wealthy and
titled gentleman. ty the death of his
cousin, Sir Jasper Goode, Who recently
I died at York, England, he has fallen heir
I to estates, the rental of which amounts an
nually to 5.000 pounds sterling, and also
succeeds to .the title, by inheritance. The
incidents and adVentures through which
this singular indiVidual—now Sir Samuel
IS. Goode—has passed would fill a large
I yellowcovered volume. At the age of
nineteen he was a midshipman in the Tex

pendenee with Mexico—and was promoted
Ito lieutenant in three months for cutting
!out a Mexican bungo under the guns of
!the citadel of Vera Crus. In the war
between the United States and Mexico
that immediately followed, be volunteered
lin the American army as a private, but
by hid gallantry soon won for himself a
! Captains commission. In the disastrous
i fillibustering of Lopez he commanded e
company—was taken prisoner at dardenas
: and c.rily es aaped the garrotte by the daugh
ter of aSpanish officer, who became enam
ored of him, opening the prison doors.—
Undeterred:horver by his narrow escape
he next embarked in Walker's first expez
dition—from this be also managed to es
cape, :after passing through untold perils
and sufferings. ', s all our readers are
already aware, I he raised a company in
this city when the guns from Sumpter
reverbrated through the loyal north—
went to Mattoon, and was elected' colonel
by his regiment (the 21st.) BY some
means, however, he was deprived of his
command, and ,Gen. U. S Grant, then a
plain citizen, Was appointed colonel in his
stead. Weary l and despondent, through
this dissppoictment, he neglected his
profession—the law—and by some ehance
drifted into Carlinville, this State,r where
at the time .he received his fortune;he was
