One of the most devout followers of this codo was a wealthy planter, living in what is known as the Northern 2(cck. He was in all respects a frank, open hearted, manly gentleman; but his estimate of his fellow rrcn was founded upon the principles thai gov erned the selcotion of hia horses blood. Wealth, too, waa bv no means an unim portant feature with him. lie had our human weakness, and, like all of us, was influenced more than he even believed by pounds, shillings und pence. J his il r. U- had quite a large family, and among ihetn was a daughter whose beauty was tho standing toast of the country. Mio was just eighteen, and budding into lovely womanhood. Not only was she beautiful in person, but ber amiable disposition and many accomplishments made her more than ordinarily. attractivs, and half the gen. tlemen of the Northern Neck were al. ready sighin for her love. ihere was in the country at this time ayouug mau who was already risiDg high in the esteem of his neighbors. He came of good family, but was, as yet, a poor young surveyor, who had taught nmselt his profession, and who had spout much ol his time in traversiug un. kuown forests, with nothiug but his compass for his guide, aud his chain for his companion, locating lauds aud set ting disputed titles, lla was a model of manly beauty, and excelledjin tho va ried feats ol strength in which the olden time Americans took such pride. He was calm and reserved, and there was about him a dignihcd sweetness of de meanor that accorded well with his frauk independence of character. lie was a great favorite with all who knew him, aad there was no gathering to which he was not asked. Mr. G 8emcd especially to like tho young man, and it was not long be fore be insisted that tho latter should abandon all ceremony in his visits to him, and come mid go rhcn he pleased, the invitation was heartily given, adas dromptly accepted. The young man liked the planter, and he found the so ciety of tho beautiful Mary U a very strong attraction. The resnlt was that he wus frequently at the planter's residence; so frequently, iudeed, that iNrs. U lelt, called upon to ask her husband if he did not think it wrong to permit him to enjoy such unreserved intercourse with their daughter. The father only laughed at tho idea, and said be hoped his daughter knew her posit on too well to aliow anything like love for a poor surveyor to blind her to her duty to her family. Nevertheless Mary (J was not so fully impressed with this conviction of duty as was her father. She found more to admire in the poor surveyor than in all her wealthy and aristocratic suitors ; and, almost before she kuew it, her heart passed out ot her keeping and was given to him. She loved him with all the honesty and devotion of her pure heart; and she would havo thought it happiness to go out with him into the back woods and share his fatigues and troubles, no mutter bow much sorrow they might bring to her. Nor did sbo love in vain. 1 ho young man, whose knowledge of tho world was afterwards so great, had not then Warn, ed to consider as binding the distinctions which society drew botween his tuition and that of the lady. He knew that in all that makes a man, ho was tho equal of anyone. He believed that, except in wealth, he stood upon a periect equai ity with Mr. G- -, and he loved her honestly and manfully, aud no sooner had ho satisfied himself upon the stato of his own feelings than he confossed his devotiou, simply and truthfully, and received from the lady'a lips tho assur- auee thut she loved nun very dearly. Scorning to occupy a doubtful posi tion, or to causo tho lady to conceal aught from her parents, the young man frankly aui manfully nsked Mr. (J for his daughter's hand. Yery angry grew tho planter as he listened to the audacious proposal. He fctoruigd and swore furiously, and denounced the young man as au ungrateful aud insoleit upstart. " My daughter has always becu ac customed to riding iu her own carriage," ho said. " Who aro you sir ? " " A gentleman, sir," replied the young man quietly ; aud he left the house. Tho lovers wero parted. Tho lady uiairied soon after a wealthy planter, and tho voui.'' man went out again into the world to t At lie with Lia heart aud con- iiuer his unhappy passion.

Ho had never been to tho house of Mr. G since his cruel rcpubic by tho planter ; but the latter could not forgot him, as his name soon became familiar iu every Virginia household. Higher and higher he rose every year, until he gained a position from which he could look down upon tho proud planter. Woalth eame to him, too. When tho great strugglo for independence dawned, he was in his prime a happy husband, and one of tho most distinguished men in America, lho struggle went on, and soon the " poor surveyor " Leiu highest and proudest position in the land. When the American army passed iu triumph through tho streets of Wil liamsburg, tho aneient capital of Vir giuia, after the surrender of Cornwallis, the officer riding at the head of the col. umn chanced to glanco up at one of the neighboring balconies which was crow ded with ladies. Recognizing one of them ho raised his hat and bowed pro foundly. Thcro was a commotion in tho balcony, and some ono called for water, saying Mrs. Leo had fainted. Turning to a young man who rode near him the officer said gravely " Henry, I fear your mother has fain ted. You had better leave the column and go to her." The speaker was 3eorgo Washington, once tho " poor surveyor," but then enmmandcr-in chief of the armies of the United States.

Jlccled Bisccllawg. From the Loudon Mag.izinc. The Queer Skeleton. I announce myself to tho reader as tho Man who believes in Ghosts per haps. At any rate, I believo in my father, aud ho believed the story lam about to relate. My father resided at Ipswich, and once had occasion to go to Jjondon on business, it was during a periodjof great popular commotion, and the oity being' very, lull, he had come trouble in finding alodgiug. The master of the house observed that it was a good largo room for he could get but ne and very comfortable, if he did not mind bnt there he stopped, for his wife gavehitn a nudge. That made my father suspoct something was not right. ' It isn't over a slaughter-house or a burial-ground, or a dissecting-room, is it 7 ' says my father. ' Oh, dear no 1 ' says the landlord ; ' but some people say the next house is haunted , and that anybody who sleeps in this room can see a lady in white, crying, at that window you can see there.' ' Oh, is that all ? ' says my father ; ' perhaps thcro'ssomo poor maniac con fined thcro. Whether or no, however, that's no objection, fori dou't'eare a rush for all the ghosts that ever was in vented.' Well, ho took possession of the room ; and before night closed in he had nn on. portunity of taking an accurate survey of the neighboring premises- A lead roof, apparently over a workshop, lay between his wiudow and that one where the ghost wa3 said to appear; only thcro was this difference, that he CO"'1', easily step out of his upou tho leads, whereas i tho neighbor's was about nine or ten feet higher. My father always vowed that he was perfactly sober when he went to bed. He couldn't tell how long he had been asleep when ho was sud. denly awakeued by loud screams ; and when he opened his eyes ho saw ihat the opposite house wat .on five. He was out on the leads in a moment. The haunted room was filled with bright flames, and at the window stood a love ly youug woman, clasping a baby in her arms, and screaming for help.. ' Oh, save my child save my child 1 ' she kept on crying in tones of such an. guish, that they weut to my fathor's very heart. ' Give it to me,' ho said,' and then jump out iuto my arms. The distance is nothing ; you cannot be hurt. Take courage Now, give me the baby ! ' She leaned forward, and dropped the baby wraped in a shawl, into iny fath er's arms. Just as ho got it safe, it Feemed to hia that tho roof fell in. There was a crashing noise, but not very loud ; the flame disappeared, aud so did the young lady. In at his window he rushed again, and through the house, shouting " Fire ! nre ! ' with all his might, and with the baby still in his unus. Out rushed tho landlord as pale as a ghost, and his wife after him, in such a monument of a nightcap that it. quite overawed my father, even in the midst of his agitation- Tho maid was shrieking Murder ! ' down in the kitchen, and the appi entices had tumb led out from under the counter iu the shop, and were poking their noses cautiously out, and kindly inquiring who was killing her; and on every lauding up the stairs the lodgers wero calling out to know what was the nitttcr. There was -ta-hogethcr a terrible row in the place. ' ihe next house is on hre ! said my father. ' It's only the old story,' said the landlord. ' Run up stairs, my dear, and tell them it's a false alarm.' ' But it is not a false alarm,' Ciys iny lather ; ' for I saw the flames and I caw the roof fall in, and I fear that a lady is buried under the ruins. Wty don't you come and help her 1 She had just dropped her child into my arms when the roof fell.' The landlady then first set eyes on the bundle, for her husband at that mo- raemt lighted a caudle trom tuo iusj. light, which had very imperfectly illum- i oated tho scene before. ' A baby ! ' says she. ' Yes,' says my father,' aud I think I'd better leave it with you, ma'am, while I go and endeavor to rest uo the mother.' Tho woman did not speak ror utter a sound, but she just lifted up the shawl from the child's faoe, and dropped down like a lumn of lead upou the floor. Iu stead of attending to her, both my fath er and .tho landlord looked iuto th shawl. It contained the ukeletouofuu infant, wrapped up in the of what had been very costly garments. My father felt very sick, and tho lafldlord Muggered back agaiu-t tho wall, and dropped tho candlestick outuf his hand. When the landlady fell (sl.o was a tall heavy woman, aud cave the house a good abate.) the maid sceamo!

So they all went grumbling back to bod and tho man helped hia wife iuto her room where my father s'.ooJ trcmblinj? anu shaking not hwaS presence of mlnd enough to put down tho bundle, and not even daring to look into it agaiu. The little .skeleton was quietly buried the next day by au old sexton, who ask ed no questions, as he knew the land, lord was a respectable householder ; and so they all concluded that the ghost was aatisfied, aud that was the reason Why she never appeared ogaio. When my falhet. exauiiued tho placo closely by daylight, he saw evident marks of fire about tho windows ; but he was assured these wero the remains of a fire that had happened there a great many years before. In short, the whole aftair of the apparition seemed to shroud some fearful mystery, which was per fectly inexplicable. Some years after, my father endeavored to find out the house, in the hope of obtaining a clue to the mistcry ; but ho could discover nothing but a mass of ruins. That street and some others wero just demol. ished, to make way for that which is now llegent street. .1 Good Story. They tell a good story of how tho Rev. Dr. Bcthunc now dead a wit, a scholar and an eloquent divine was once put in a queer position by an inti mate friend. The doetor at the timo was settled over a congregation in Brooklyn, and was very popular. A Connecticut con gregation gave hiin a call and ' called ' a thousand dollars per annum better than tho Brooklyn people. But he had formed a strong attachment to his parishioners, and thinking that his sphere of service could not bo changed to advantage, he wss not tempted by an increase of salary. So ho remained, to the great delight of LLj people. All of the doctor's parishioners wero lint isninta TliorA verA a f imnara among them else why preach the gos. pel And among the last was a jovial pew-holder, fond of lush, and apt at all timc3 to get more than he could conveni ently cany.

In the vcrvh'mbt of hi pleasuie he crostod Fulton i'eny carrying about a quart of brandy. Ir. Bcthuno crossed iu tho same boat, carrying an umbrella. The brandy carrier happened to catch sight of the umbrella carrier and at once staggered toward him, exclaim, ing in his loudest touea. ' How do you do, Dr. Bethuno ? Let me take your bio hand, my dear sir r r r rl I am proud to testi fy yi yi my respect for you sir. ' Speak a little lower, if you please Mr. Bilkings,' murmured Dr. Bethune. ' Yss s-s.s sir I you,ve stood by onr pulpit like a man.
