It is quite possible for a man, or a woman either, to be too handsome. Nevertheless, it is' an observation which few make, and fewer still, confess tk be true. Therefore we intend to enter the 11$ in behalf of ugliness, and it is our intention lo illustrate it by a tale—an " ewer true talk" as the annals would write: Philip Heathebte lived in a - country town' where he wad'• the bean par excelleneet-thel Adonis, Appeflo, Narcissus, of almost every young lady, from fifteen to fifty ; , and, to tell the truth, Philip itiras indeed very handsome.. He.was, besides, one of those fortunitei per sons who seenk'born with talents for every thing. The conveon was winning ; he was a ;`man of infinite hubior," andpossessed that everi wel come quality pf: making the dullest party merry when he entered it. Then he was the bdst dancer, the best singer, the best finte-player, for miles round; wrote poetry, composed songs, drew likenessis—in short, Philip was a pattern , of perfection i:i His praises rang the country' round ; none 'ere insensible to it, save one, the very last belivotild have wished to be so—a young girl, named Margaret Lester. With that peculiar contradiction:which char acterizes lev'e; young Heathcote's heart was given to ode !entirely the opposite of himself. Quiet, anassntaing, not beautiful, only interest ing, with no ; aecomplishment save a sweet, voice, • which caul ;;w arble forever, Margaret Lester had yet s 1 . 4 away all the love which 1 the showy, fow l tt . , 'dashing Philip could bestow; and, monde i S iig. l t o t e ll, she,,was quite insensible of her prize.;:, She was not inlove witk atone else, that tertain, and that the sweet, gen tle Margiref, as heartless.

" You knot love, be has pea lorespeets; every one admires him; he:is ve4liandsome, and is the life of ISoeitttywhere ,. evai be ;goes." • ' •••• That is the very reason -he 'did not please t • me,ldear ma," answered Margaret. " I should not! wish my husband to be so 'fascinating; I watt tOore than mere outside qualities, and I shaidd be inclined to distrust a man who was I so !very trilliant ; he would never do for home. I Don't you remember Beatrice, in ' Much Ado eheat Nothing ?' when Don Pedro asks if she will, have him for her husband, • No,' she says, • V.shoUld want another o'week days; your grace is too costly for every day wear.' And, continued Miss Lester, laughing, cheerfully, " I thiak it is much the same With myself 'and yopg Heatheote—ha is in truth, too Itand.soinc for; .me." : 'Perhaps Margaret's feeling was natural. Every true-hearted woman likes to feel proud ot her lover, or rather to have one that she 'can rightly and - justly feel proud of; there is to sensation more delicious or more unselfish than thiii. But we doubt very mneh if a woman, sincere; simple-hearted and good, as we wish to paint our Margaret, would feel love for a Philip -Heathcote, the idol of a ball-room, the admirer arid the admired of all the vain and frivolons. That Philip had deeper qualities than these was as; yet unknown; such was his apparent ch'iracter, and Margaret was right when she said that he was too handsome? nd too fascina ting for her. . t Mrs. Lester and her daughter sat one morn ing at their work, when there was announced that bore of bores, a morning visitor ; and pee not ,_particularly welcome at, any time—the news -retailer of the place, a sort of feminine Paul - Pry. Country society, alas+ has not Ithe blessing ,of city visiting—no dropping the at.- ; griaintance of the human barnacle. There was 1 a Suspicions twinkling in Mrs: , Doddridge's lit thi black eyes, which showed she was brihuning I over with news • and out the information came, • ' at the earliest opportunity. ' . ' " Have you heard of the fire ?" ' " What fire ?"" asked the eyer-sympathiiing 'Mrs. Lester. ." What ! not about the fire at Farmer Wes tern's, and young Mr. Heatheote, and his acci dent ?" cried the delighted gossip, Flancing Meaningly at Mrs. Lester. :•," I am sorry for it," said Margaret, quietly. lll c . 'What, has happened to him ?" "I thought you must have known : but no; Irforgot. Well, he is not quitekilled—almost." ; ~ Both the ladies started, and, to their inqui ries, Mrs. Doddridge answered with a long story, the substance of which, separating truth from fiction, we will tell in 'our own words : Philip t earning home from a country ball, : had ' seen that most fearful of all sights—especially in adonely country place—a house on fire. He spurred his horse to the spot, and reached it 1 with assistance; but too late, The house Was wrapped in flames, and the farmer'aged moth erk was still within. No one thou tof saving I her. :Fleathe4e, with a sudden an generous impulse, rushed'into the burning mass, and they never •thought to see hirn return, until he stag gered forward, with his burden in his arms; and ,fell insensible upon the ground. - When be re ' turned to consciousness, he ;was found to be fearfully burnt, and one foot entirely crushed by a falling beam. The youpg, gay, handsome, Philip, who had danced so merrily a few harms before, and charmed all, as was his wont,.was I taken home by the gray morning twilight, idis- figured for life ! • ' 1 Margaret Lester's kind heart overflowed with 1 , inmingled pity, at hearing this melancholy 1 story:of her formeriover. And then his heroic and generous deed! She could not have be lieved him c.fittble of such. t. Her tender eon ', science smote her for ,having misjudged him, and many slight instances of his feelings rose to her mind, which showed he! must have had a higher and better character b I! eneath the one i!) which he publiely,appeared. There is nothing so sweet, so all-extenuating as the compaSsion of a:gentle-hearted womap;, though exercised towards a rejected, or even a faithless lover. 'Many months did Philip la ,on his lonely and .desolate sick-bed, for be had no mother or sis ter to watch.over him. Some few among those Who had beet so charmed with him, sent to in quire after the poor young Man for a little time. But the interest and excite rent of the event soon died away, and long before the in v alid was able to .crawl to the closedtup garden of the manor-house where he lived; all had forsaken him; !except one- or two kind souls, who Isent him 2 look now and then', out of chirity. Amon g these was Mrs. Le if ter; and when, at last,,she young man recovered, gratitude—or ioniething else, warmer still—led him anther ;the first day be left his home. 1 No one bad, seen him since his accidenex eept his medical attendant i Philip coul d not ):,ear that b& former' friendsshould see I hOw ;fearfully changed he was.

There was no cdndolence, no allusion to his illneis : she did avoid looking at him, but spoke, and i miledwith true and kindly tact, as if noth ing had happened ; so that Philip's dread and embitivassmenr Ore off imperceptibly. . Once onlyitwhen he * deeply engaged talking to Mrs.:lester, bielitgiught Margaret's eye fixed npokhis face With deep expression. He tho't, though he was' he sure, that those sweet blue orbs*-ere moist with tears; and the young man wonl4 have parted almost with life itself for one tear Of affectionate pity from Margaret Lester. Ili stayed a long time, and then went home, certainly happier, than he had often been in the day Of his bloom and, gaiety. What Margaret thought of her old lover could not be known she said but very little, but that night she heard the did church clock strike one, before her eyes fairli closed in slumber. Pbilip Heatheote's re-appearance in society caused the usual nine days wonder and excite ment, and then all subsided. He was an altered maul his,abundant flow of spirits was no more; be could no longer join the dance, in which he had 'Shone so brilliantly , aforetime ; he was of ten silent in company, and the belles who had so often gazed delightedly in his handsome face, nowipasild by him with a slight recognition, or an au dible "Poor fellow ! how handsome he was once'," Philip had grown wisser through suf fering but still' no one is ever quite insensible to the loss of personal attractions; and the haS been" grated harshly on young Heath cotete feelings for a long time. Ho gradually witlOrew from society, in a great measure, plea dinhtas his reason,,the ill-health which he really did still labor under; and at hist his visits were almst entirely confined to Mrs. Lester's, where ho niet no altered looks or obtrusive condolence. And now we must turn to Margaret. She too had changed; not outwardly, but in her own heart. Love, under the guise of pity, had sto len there unawares. She had been perfectly indifferent to Philip in his days of triumph, but wheii she saw him pale, feeble, thoughtful, with out # single gay jest or sportive compliment to scatter round—treated with neglect, or wean ; dedtby rude pity—Margaret's woman's heart gavh way. She first felt sympathy, then inte ' resq and so went through the regular grada tions, until she loved Philip Heatheote with her whdle soul. He, foolish man, humble, self-dis trusting,as he was, never saw this ; yet he nourished his affection for Margaret in his heatt's core, never dreaming that it could over be returned. 4 , If she did not care for me in the old days," he often thought, " surely it is hopeless toitn agine she could love me now—a poor, sick, lamb, ugly - fellow like me." And he would 1001 l at himself with disgust, and turn away froth the mirror with a bitter sigh. Ali! Phil ip Ileathcote, with all his talent and brilliancy, still knew little of the depths of• a woman's heait ! We have heard of a man who broke the ,troth of years, because a heavy affliction— it spas deprivation of hearing—fell upon the lotth girl he was to have married, and we have also' heard of otherwof his sex justify him in so doing. Such love is not like woman's ; she would have clung closer to her betrothed in his affliction. Philip, in spite of his conviction of the entire horielessness of winning Margaret's heart, still continued to hover about her unceasingly. He I sat, there was at least no other lover in the way, and that was one comfort. It was months before his eyes were opened to his error, and ho* that/elearness of vision was effected, sayeth not. Very few lovers can bath, , precise moment when the blessed truth rushed upUn their hearts, flooding them with delicious joy'' To what hope, to what a new and blissful existence, did Philip awake when he knew that Miirgaret loved him ! He counted all that be haa lost as nothing in comparison to the prize wl4ch his sufferings bad won for him. Much he wondered at the change, not knowing that it *as due to his altered character ; for men look at the outward form, while women judge of thi heart. But wonder and doubt, were ab sorbed in intense happiness • for Margaret, the timid, retiring, but loying Margaret, was all his Once more the town's talk was .., of Philip Heiathoote and Margaret Lester. They were seen walking together; one had met them in the fields; another coming home from church; Mr. Heathcote was daily at the house ; surely they must be engaged !—and this once the goisips were right—they were, indeed, affianc edovers, and in due time the - old village church beheld them made husband and wife. • few,yearipassed, and the old manor-house rasg with childish voices through all its deso late nooks; and Margaret and her husband might be seen oftentimes slowly pacing the dark alleys of the garden with a merry troop around them. Hand iu band, Philip and Margaret' ware gliding down life's river, not (eating the coining of middle age ; when each year brought neW happiness. Had they altogether forgotten thit days of their youth ? Not quite; for once, when they sat watching the sports, of their eldest 'son, Margaret said, with it• mother's pride slid fondness— Is not our boy handsome, Philip ?—he will grpw up almost as handsome as—' 1" As his father once used to be," interrupted Heatheote, with a smile not quite void of bitterness.

Fon ryea,s'ago I left the Pirt of Boston, the master of a fine ship, bound for China. I was worth ten thousand dollars, and was the hus band of a yining and handsome wife whom I had marred; but six months beford. When I left her I prbmised to return, tO her in leSs than ' a twelvemonth. I took all EnY money with me save enoughito support my wife in my absence, for the purpose of trading when in China, - on iny , own account. For a long,time we were fa vored with osperous winds; but when in the China sea s terrible storm ,Oime upon us, so that in a short time I saw the,/ vessel must be lost, for we were drifting on ,the rocks of an unknown shore. I ordered the men to provide each for himself in the best, possible manner, and forget the ship as it waken impossibility to save her. We struck--a sex threw me upon a rock senseless, and the next(would have car ried me back into a' watery grave, had not one 'of the sailors dragged me farther upon the rocks. There were only lour ; of us alive, and, when morning carne, we found that we were on a small uninhabited island, with nothing to eat but the wild fruit common to that portion of the earth. I will not distress you by an ac count of our suffering there suffice it to say that we remained sixty days before wo could make ourselves known to anyship. We were taken into Canton, and there I had to beg—for my money was at the bottokalof the sea, and I had,not taken the precautioi !to have it insured. It was nearly a year before I' found a chance to come hoine, and I a captain, w'as obliged to ship as a common sailor. It was two years from the time I left America that I landed in Boston. I was walking in s hurried manner up one of the streets, when I tiet my brother in-law. He could not speak •or move, but grasped niy band, and the tears gushed from his eyes. "Is my wife aliver I asked. -He said nothing. Then I wished I bad perished with my ship, for I thought ply wife was dead, but be very soon said " She is alive." Then it was my turn- to cry for joy. He clung to' me and said, " Your funeral sermon has been preached, fOr we thought you dead for a. long time." ge said that my wifii was living in our cottage in the interior of .the State. It was then three o'clock in the afternoon, and I took a train of cars that would carry me within twenty-five miles of my wits. Upon leaving the cars I hired S boy, though it was night, and I remembered hoar" like a heaven it looked to me. I got out of the carriage and went to the window of the room where the servant girl slept, and gently, knocked. She opened the window and asked'" who was tbergi? "Sarah, do you not knew the r said L She screamed with fright, for She thought me a ghost, but I told her to unfitisten the door, and let me in for I wished „to see my wife. She let me in Said gave me a light, and I went up stairs to my wife's room. She lay sleeping quietly. Upon her bosom lay our child, whom I:bad never seen.--1 She was as beautiful as when I left her, but I could see a mournful expression upon her bee. Perhaps she was dreaming of me. I gazed for a long time—l did not make any noise, for I dare not wake her. At length I imprinted a soft kiss upon, my little child.— While doiSg it a tear dropped from In eye and fell upon her cheek. Her eyes opened as clear ly as though she had not beea sleeping . I saw she began to get frightened, and I said, " Mary, it is your husband !" and she clasped me about my neck and fainted. But I cannot describe to you that scene. :- She is now the happy.wife of a poor man.— I am endeavoring to accumulate a little prop erty, and then I will leave the sea forever.
