AN OLD TIME MYSTERY. will not tell you sir The young bead was thrown back haughti ly, and the blue eyes flashed with passionate excitement. She was a beautiful creature this fair gold en-haired girl. She was very yonbg and her petite fig, , nre looked almost childish.—Bat for the rounded, Hebe-like form and perfect outline, one would have thought her a child --a lithe-girl indeed,-with- the sunny hopes and dreamed fancies of childhood—but these disclosed a womanhood full of nameless grace, rich and rare in beauty. :Few knew , the world as well as she, this brilliant little meteor, that had flashed upon society, turn in men's heads and makin: a fair lady mad wifh — jaouey. But a few months before she came to New Orleans • the iroteoe of a wealth EriOish lady, who hud for many years spent her winters here. Her history none knew, until the events which procured me an introduc. lion-to-h er r -none-ea terd-to—imptire.---Itr-was evident to all she was loved by the lady as a daughter, but she was presented to the world as her niece. There were just the faintest disoetnible accent in the rich mellow voice and liquid speech. The lair Canadian queened in roy alty over the haughtiest belles. Men said that accent charined as none other could; rival beauties tried to imitate it. But her fascination lay in her winsome face and eyes that seemed so true; in the passionate regret that fevered there at a sense of woe; in the hand open as day to charity. As she stood before me in her fierceanger, I thought I had never seen a being so love ly. The golden curls, shaded face and brow, and the chiseled lips had assumed their haughtiest curve. Proud as a queen she looked, the indignant blood staining neck and brow, while the cheek flushed and paled alternately; but the blue eyes never lost their passionate flush nor the 'lips the, curl of __ -- The night before, the house had been rob coutainina diamonds stolen, Myself and Mr. I— Cad been sent for by Mrs. hl s, to investigate the case. It was evidently the work of an experienced burglar, and he must have passed through the room of Miss M—s to reach the -apartment of"the lady from whom the jewels had been stolen. I asked Miss M sif she had heard nothing in the night to excite her alarm. At my question, which was somewhat abruptly spoken, she hesitated and appeared unduly excited. I felt surprised at this and repeated the question. ,Did you hear or see anything during the night?' 'I did, sir.' 'May I- inquire what it was ?' 'I declind, to tell.' 'But why, iss M—s I' cannot inPfirm you.' 'At all eventsvu.4l-I—tell--me if you saw or heard the persOn,who -committed the rob• bery ?' 1 both saw and heard him. Sir, you will excuse me , but that 1 may end an interview extremely painful to me, I will say to you that I saw the person who came into the house, saw . the robbery committed, but am withheld by reasons 1 cannot disclose from giving you his or her description.' The avowal was made in a low, choking utterance that showed how profoundly the young creature felt the shame of the disclo sure. Shocked and surprised, I scarcely knew what I said, but I remember appealing to Mrs. M s to unite her entreaties with mine to induce Miss M s to change her determination, or at least give a reason for it. But she did not hear me.— Fier eyes were fastened on the young girl's face with a wild entreaty that thrilled me to the heart. She seemed to understand why the girl refused to tell ; and gazing for an instant, threw up her hand with a wail like one broken' hearted, and sank sobbing to the 'Miss M--s, this is very strange.— You do not wish me to think you a confeder ate, and unless, you tell me, what else.am I to think' It Was then that her expression changed, and her face lit up with indignant excite. men t. 'I will not tell you, sir r She paused for an instant, and I read her innocence in the look. Whatever the mys tery, she was not criminal. 'Think wbat you please. I will• not tell you.' Before I bad time to reply. Mrs. M--8 rose to her feet, and, taking the young girl by the hand, turned to me. 'You are mistaken sir, in your auspicious. This is R family mystery the child is not to blame. lied I known it sooner I should have dispensed with your services ;•but you oblige me by retiring now, and pursuing your investigations no fUrtilee It was impossible to resist the grave dig nity of this grand old lady. We took our leave in a perfect whirl .of amazement. I confess to my share of curiosity, but all the events of that morning bewildered me. I thought of nothing all that day save the mysterious burglary. I did not speak of it to others, for it was evident that Mrs. M---s did not wish it canvassed, and my own powers of reflection were uoablo to solve it.

Edgar A: Poe. The following inelderit was related by ,a member of the Baltimore bar, who, at the time of its occurrence, was but recently ad ..itted to praetim — The truth - of-the—state • merit may be depended on, and even the con• versation introduced I giVe, word for word, as reported to me : At the period referred to, there were sev eral single-storied houses on the east side of St. Paul streets, each of which contained but two rooms. They were rather massively— according to present ideas—constructed of brick, but have been for a long time displaced by tall and stately buildings. One of these single•storied buses was occupied-by-my-in= formant. The front apartment was used as a law office, the rear as a sleep room. One calm and clear moonlight winter night, when the snow lay deep upon the city streets and roofs, Mr.— was making prep. bell rung. He aroused his negro servant -bowhoy s wasJactdd in g is=s tool=by- the chimney corner, and sent hith to open the door to the late visitor. The boy almost im mediately returned atone. He said that no body was at the door, but that a gentleman was standing in the snow in the middle of the street,-talking—to-himself and tossing_his arms about. Mr. now went to the front door himself. When he opened it he found one, who was evidently a gentleman--he could see by the moonlight—standing on the pave ment facing him. • 'Was it you who rang my bell ?' he asked. 'Yes, sir,' was the reply, owe you an apology for disturbing you at an hOur so un seasonable. But the fact is some thoughts "hive Come into my head which I wish to commit to paper, and seeing a light in your back window' (the house mood upon the corner of an alley) 'and considering it a mat ter of course that a lawyer's office is supplied with stationary, I took the liberty of ringing your bell.' 'You are very welcome, indeed,' said the young lawyer. 'Walk in, sir.' The stranger followed him into the inner apartment, where it bright fire was burning in the grate. The manger of his guest was so impressive of intellect that Mr. offered him his bed; • but the visitor only asked the use of a chair, table and writing materials. So the negro boy laid down upon his pallet on the floor, and the young lawyer retired to hie bed, leaving the stranger bend ing over the table writing. I'v ben Mr. awakened in the morn• ing' his strange visitor was sitting in a chair, with his head on the table, asleep. The motion made by the young-lawyer on awaken ing roused the stranger. The latter seemed at once to be wide awake. He -arose from his seat, thanked his host for his hospitality, and gracefully apologized for his intrusion on the previous night. He was then about to leave the room. 'You are forgetting your manuscript,' said the young lawyer pointing to some pieces of paper on the table. have a copy of what I have composed,' said the stranger, 'and leave the original with you as some acknowledgement of your kind• nese under circumstances so trying? The stranger left. The' lawyer did not knowuntil a long time afterward, when the 'Song of the Bells'—of which he still has the original—had been published and became fainous, that his singular visitor was Edgar A. Poe. • A PRACTICAL A TPLICA TIO N.!--Nicholas Wain, though a regular Quaker preacher, a great wag, was once traveling on horseback in the interior of Pennsylvania in company with two Methodist preachers. They dis cussed points of difference in their respective sects, until they arrived at the inn , where they were put up for the night. At supper, Wain was seated between the two Methodists, and before them was placed a plate contain ing two trout. Each of the circuit-riders placed his fork in a fish and transferred it to his plate, after which each shut his eyes and said audible grace before meat. The quaker availed himself of the opportunity to trans fer both of the trout to his own plate, merely remarking, when the others opened their eyes, 'Your religion teaches you to pray, but Mine teaches me both to watch and pray,' ABOUT GIRLS.—The best thing about a girl is cheerfulness. We don't care how ruddy her cbeeks may be or how velvety her lips, if 'she wears a scowl, even her friends will consider her ill-looking; while the young lady who illuminates bet countenance with smiles, will bo regarded as handsome; though her complexion is coarse enough to grate nut megs ou.

Brigham Young's Harem. - We have aforetime given gtissipy extracts from the letters of visitors to Normoniiom, relative to Brigham Y-oung!sfcloatestio-affairs;= but the following, from a communication in the Cincinnati Gazette contains some details we do not remember to have previously seen : The rooms of the women are very mach alike, and furnished nearly alike. They are plain, but comfortable. The women live in them precisely as people do at a hotel. Each lady has her own key, and when she goes out she locks her door. There is little visit. ing back and forth, -and the ladies behave very much as guests do at a first-class hotel. Every morning and evening, at the ringing of the bell, the inmates of the harem meet in the great parlors, to attend prayers. They sing a hymn, and Young prays fervently.-- The prophet used•to eat at the harem with his wives, but he seldom does so mow. In the morning, on rising, each woman puts her room in order, and if she has children, dress es them for breakfast. After prayers they all go to breakfast, the ladies with children sitting at little family tables, and those without children at the common table. The same food is given to all, and the bill of fare is by no means a poor ono. Brigham, from time to time, designates some of his wives to take charge of 'the 000k iog, and they remain on duty until relieved; during the day the women, walk out, .sew, sing, play the piano in the parlor, or walk with the children, Most of them spin, make cloth, and color it. They are very proud of their cloth and embroidery. 'ln the evening, all hands go to the theater, where every one of Brigham's wives has a reserved seat. It is said that Young liberally supplies his wives with money, and on fine days they drive out and go shopping, lie employs a music teacher, French teacher, and dancing master for the use of his hodsehold. Brig ham's women are well dressed, but still they have to work hard, and be keeps up a whole some discipline over them. " • Ben Franklin said, 'Time is money.' Now I tried to pay a note at the bank with time; I tried to pay my grocer's bill with time, I tried to pay my printer the same way; and the only satisfaction I got was that 'lt was time to pay up.' They didn't see it as Ben did, at all. 'Time is money" only when it passes. 'Necessity is the mother of invention.'— Now I have known her personally all my life, but I could not invent any way to get a living without work, Going to bed is a good institution, but getting up is rough, and lam down on the man that invented it. It is said to be healthy to 'rise with the kik' if you have not been on a lark the night before—when it ain't healthy. It is said, too, that 'the early bird catches the worm,' but you don't want any worms—they ain't healthy. 8o you need not hurry about getting up. By taking the various remedies for differ ent diseases advertised in the papers, you will be a healthy invalid, and will help a healthy growth of quacks. You will also assist in supporting some doctor, and after a while the undertaker. When you are hungry it is best.. to oat something. If you board by the 'Week ur month, .the more you eat the nearer yucctitilf come to &ening your money's worth: 'Train up a child in the way be sliould go, and when be is old he will oot-Arepart from it."

The readiness with whiob American girls accept the attention of a comparative stranger is forever a matter of astonishment to for eigners.. It would be as much a matter of astonishment to ourselves if we once stopped to think about it. A gentleman is casually introduced, a lively conversation follows, calls are made' the best day and for a week to come, rides, flirtations, and love-Making en tered upon, and oftentimes, after no less than a fortnight's acquaintance, confidences are given that no less than half a year's acquaint ance should warrant. A rase of this sort of eager intimacy oe• carted in a pretty inland town not more than three hundred miles from New York, whieh - resulted most disastrously. A young man stopping temporarily in the town saw and I fancied a young lady. upon the street, ascot.. tuiued her mute, ere forged a lea ete , terged a . troduction, presented it, with himself, and was most cordially received by the young la dy and her parents.

But I also hate to see girls die broken-hearted, or their lives blasted by the rascality of some heartless, unprincipled villain, when all the evil might have been averted by mere womanly, sensi ble prudence.

A few days before the adjournment of the last session of the Legislature of North Car lina, a wealthy conservative from a distant portion of the State, happening to be in Ilk leigb, paid a visit to.the capitol. Taking a seat in the lobby of the Senate chamber, he meditated on the degeneracy of the times which permits colored men to hold seats in that body. He was roused from his reverie by a colored Senator, who arose, and imothe course of his remarks used the familiar quo tation from the 137th Psalm, !Let my right hand forget her canning,' etc. He could contain himself no longer, and, turning to a friend, said : 'lan eit disgusting to hear such en ig noramus attempting to quote Shakspeare r AN IRISHMAN'S ANSWER.- A lawyer built him an office in the form of a hexagon or six , square.
