I= Kate Darlington was a belle end a beauty ; and had, as might be supposed, not a few admirers.— Some were attracted by her person, some by her winning manners, and not a few by the wealth of her faintly. But though sweet Kate was both a belle End a beauty, she was a shrewd, clear seeing girl, and had far mom penetration into character than belles and beauties arc generally thought to possess. For the whole tribe of American dandies, with their disfiguring moustaches and imperials, she had a most hearty contempt. Hair never made up, with her for the lack of brains. But, as she was an heiress in expectancy, and moved in the most fashionable society, and was, with all, a gay arid sprightly girl, Kate, as a natural consequence, drew around her the gilded moths of society, not a few of whom got their wings scorch• cd, on approaching too near. Many aspired to be lovers, and some, more ardent than the rest, boldly pressed lorward and claimed her hand. Tint Kate did not believe in the doc trine that love begets love in all cases. Were this so, it was clear that she would have to love half a dozen, for at least that number came kneeling to her with their hearts in her hands. Mr. Darlington was a merchant. Among his clerks was the son of anold friend, who, in dying some years before, had earnestly solicted him to have some care over ilia lad, who, at his death, would become friendless. In accordance with this request, Mr. Darlington took Übe boy into los count ing room; and, in order that lie might, with more fidelity, redeem his promise to the dying father, also received him into his family. Edwin Lee proved himself not ungrateful for the kindness. In a few years lie became one of Mr. Darlington's most active, trustworthy and intelli gent clerks ; while his kind, modest, gentlemanly deportment at home, won the favor and confidence of all the family. With Edwin, Kate grew up as with a brother. Their intercourse was of the most frank and confiding character. But there carne, at last, a change. Kate, from a graceful, sweet-tempered, affectionate girl, stepped forth almost in a day, it seemed to Edwin, a full grown, lovely woman, into whose eyes he could not look as steadily as before, and on whose face he could no longer gaze with the calmness of feeling he had until now enjoyed. For a while, Edwin could not understand the reason of this change. Kate was the same to him ; and yet not the same. There was no distance—no reserve on her part; and yet, when lie came into her presence, he felt his heart beat more quickly, and when she looked him steadily in tho face, his eyes would droop, involuntarily, beneath her gaze. Suddenly, Edwin awoke to a full realization of the fact that Kate was to him more than a gentle friend or a sweet sister. From that moment, he became reserved in his intercourse with her; and, after a short time, firmly made up his mind that it was his duty to retire from the family of his bene factor. The thought of endeavoring to win the heart of the beautiful girl, whom he had always loved as a sister, and now almost worshipped, was not for a moment entertained. To him there would have been so much of ingratitude in this, amid so much that involved a base violation of Mr. Darling ton's confidence, that lie would have suffered any. thing rather than be guilty of such an act. But, he could not leave the home where he had been so kindly regarded for years, without offering some reason that would be satisfactory. The true reason he could not, of course, give. After looking at the subject in various lights, and debating it. for a long time, Edwin could see no way in which ho could withdraw from the family of Mr. Darlington, without betraying his secret, unless he were to leave the city at the same time. Ile, therefore, sought and obtained the situation of supercargo in a vessel loading for Valparaiso. When Edwin announced this fact to Mr. Darling. ton, the merchant was greatly surprised, and ap. peared hurt that the young man should take such a step without a word of consultation with him. Edwin tried to explain; but as ho had to conceal the real truth,bis explanation rather tended to make things appear worse than better. Kate heard the announcement with no less sur prise than her father. The thing was so sudden, so unlookcd for, and moreover so uncalled ler, that she could not understand it. In order to take away any pecuniany reason for the step lie was about to take, Mr. Darlington, after holding a long conver sation with Edwin, made him offers far more ad. vantagcous than his proposed expedition could be to him, viewed in any light. But lie made them in vain. Edwin acknowledged the kindness, in the warmest terms, but remained firm in his purpose to sail with the vessel. "Why will you go away and leave us, Edwin ?" said Kate, one evening when they happened to be alone, about two weeks before his expected depar. ture. "I do think it very strange:" Edwin had avoided, as much as possible, being alone with Kate, a fact which the observant maiden had not failed to notice. Their being alone now was from accident rather than design on his part. "I think it right fur the to go, Kate," the piling man replied, as calmly as it was possible for him to speak under the circumstances. "And when I think it right to do a thing, I never hesitate or look back." " You have a reason for going, of course. Why then not tell it frankly ? Aro we not all your friends 7" Edwin was silent, and his eyes rested upon the floor, while a deeper flush than usual was upon his face. Kate looked at him fixedly. Suddenly, a new thought flashed through her mind, and the color on her own cheeks grew warmer. Her voice from that moment was lower and more tender; and her eyes, as she conversed with the young man, were never a moment from his time. As fur him, his embarrassment in her presence was never more complete, and he betrayed the secret that uses in his heart even while he felt the more earnest to conceal it. Conscious of this, he excused himself and retired as soon as it was possible to do so. Kate sat thoughtful for some time after he had loft. Then rising up, she went with a firm step to her father's room. " I have found out," she said, speaking with great composure, "the reason why Edwin persists in going away." "Alt: What is the reason, Kate 7 I would give much to know." "He is in love," replied Kate, promptly. "In hive! How do you know that 7" " I made the discovery tomight." "Love should keep him ut !some, and not drive him away," said Mr. Darlington. "But lie loves hopelessly," returned the maiden. "He is poor, and the object of his regard belongs to a wealthy family." " And her friends will have nothing to do with him." " i ant not sure of that. But he formed an ne. quaintance with the young lady under circuits. stances that would make it mean, in his eyes, to urge any claims upon her regard." "Then honor as well as love takes !inn away." " Honor in fact; not love. Love would make him stay," replied the maiden with a sparkling eye, and something of proud elevation in the tones oilier voice. A faint suspicion of the truth now came stealing, on the mind of Mr. Darlington. " Does the lady know of his preference fur her?" lie asked. "Not through any word or act of his, designed (0 communicate a knowledge of the fict," leplicd Kate, her eyes falling under the earnest look bent upon her by Mr. Darlington. " Ilas he made roe on confidant r "No, sir, I dot& irtite secret has ever nasacd his Inrst." Kate's face was begimong• In Cr iIIISI.III, but site drove back lire tell talc blood with a strong cf. fort of the will. "Then how crune you possessed of it 7" inquired the father. The blood came back to her face with a rush, and she bent her hand so that her dark glossy curls fell over and partly concealed it. In a moment or two she had regained her self posession, and looking up, she answered, "Secrets like this do not always need oral or written language to make them known. Enough, father, that I have discovered the fact that his heart is deeply imbued with a passion for one who knows well his virtues—his pure, true heart—his many sense of honor; with a passion for one who has look ed upon him till now as a brother, but who hence. forth must regard him with a different and higher feeling." Kate's voice trembled. As she uttered the last few words, she lost control of herself, and Lent for ward and hid her face upon her father's arm. Mr. Darlington, as might well be supposed, was taken altogether by surprise at so unexpected an announcement. The language used by his daughter needed no interpretation. She was the maiden be loved by his clerk. " Kale," &lid he, after a moment or two of bur. tied reflection, "this; is a very serious matter. Ed. win is only a poor clerk, and you "And I"—said Kate, rising up, and taking the words from her father—"and I am the daughter of a man who can appreciate what is excellent in even those who are humblest in the eyes of the world.— Father, is not Edwin far superior to the artificial men who flutter around every young lady who now makes her appearance in the circle where we move? Knowing him as you do, I am sure you will say yes." " Rut, Kate—" "Father, don't let us argue this point. Do you want Edwin to go away I" And the young girl laid her hand upon her parent, and looked him in the face with unresisting afreetion. "No, dear; I certainly don't wish him to go." " Nor do I," returned the maiden, as she leaned forward again, and laid her face upon his arm. In a little while she arose, and, with her countenance turned partly away, said— " Tell him not to go, Father—" And with these words she retired from the room. On the next evening, as Edwin was sitting alone in one of the drawing•rooms, thinking of the long night of absence that awaited him, Mr. Darligton came in, accompanied by Kate. They seated them selves near the young man, who showed some sense of embarrassment. There was no suspense, however, for Mr. Darlington said— " Edwin, we none of us wish you to go away.— You know that I have urged every consideration in my power, and now I have consented to unite with Kate in renewing a request for you to remain. Up to this time you have declined giving a satisfrclory reason for your sudden resolution to leave; but a reason is due to us—to me in particular—and I now most earnestly conjure you to give it." The young man at this became greatly agitated, but did not venture to reply. [81,50, PAYABLE AT SIX MONTHS. "You are still silent on the subject," said Mr. Darlington. "He will not go, father," said Kate, in a tender appealing voice. "I know he will not go. We cannot let him go; kinder friends he will not find anywhere than he has here. And we shall miss him from our home circle. There will be a vacant place at onr board. Will you be happirr away, Edwin." The last sentence was uttered in a tone of sister ly affection. "Happier?" exclaimed the young man, thrown off his guard. "Happier! I shall be wretched while away." " Then why go 1" returned Kate, tenderly. The good ship " Leonora" sailed in about ten days. She had a supercago on board; but his name was not Edwin Lee. Fashionable people were greatly surprised when the beautiful Kate Darlington married her father's clerk ; and moustached dandies curled their lips, but it muttered not to Kate. She had married a man in whose worth, affection, and manliness of character, she could repose a rational confidence. If not fashionable,she was a happy wife. ,uUISCCLIRIICM 5. Front the Working-men.

As the ponderous engine of human labor slackens its revolutions, and at length stands still, and gentle rest begins to spread her wings over the ibunts of toil, there is at once an addition made to the hap. piness of man, which no enthusiasm can well over value. In a few moments we may apply to the great capital or manufacturing town, the expres sive verse Wodsworth's famous sonnet on London Itribge, :Jl that mighty heart ie I) log sull.” The forge and smithery are ceasing to smoke. The mighty arms and shafts moved by steam, are dropping into repose. The quick report of millions of manual utensils has terminated. Jaded animals, bu•viug their necks, are set free from the yoke; while innumerable sons and daughters of toil, re leased from the neecsity of further work, are ready for rest and pleasure, for improvement or vice. The thought is pleasing. As I survey the crowded city, and allow my imagination to picture the. de. tails of the scene, I behold a thousand delightful images of domestic comfort. N ow, according to an extensively prevalent cus tom, the well earned labor of reward is received. Now the anxieties of the tedious week are suspen ded. Families separated during the preceding days, come together, better prepared than at other times, to aid one another, and to enjoy one another's company. One imbroken day between two nights -of unaccustomed repose, is a golden prize in expec. tation. The meeting of parents, brothers, sisters, children, sometimes of husband and wife, who have been kept apart by the stress of labor, is not with out some points which deserve the poetic touch of a Crabbe or AR Elliot. IL is. with the virtuous, a season of hallowed affections. Hippy is that working.mcin who, when, at the week's end, he throws MI, in the bath, the soils of labor, can with equal case lay aside the wrong emotions of evil habits of the same period, and with .t clear concicncc prepare fin. the day of rest! Hap py is the youth who, when lie conies home to greet his aged parents, and the sister of whom he is proud, feels that no tarnish has conic over his heart! Happy the blooming- girl, hotvevcr lowly her calling, who enters the humble dwelling with the elastic tread of conciuus innocence! Blessed family, where the call to rest is but the signal of every kindly affection! I know that with comae even in early life, the end of the week is the beginning of a frolic. The time when wages arc received is apt to be a season of merriment if oot of vice. In summer, multitudes, in every sort of vehicles, stream forth out of the various avenues of our cities and towns. lii winter the streets resound till a late hour with a tread of idlers and debauchces. And in every season, Sat. tirday night fills the taverns, oyster houses, porter cellars, and other resorts, with a double allowance of hale fellows.—There is a triple consumption of tobacco and strong drink un these occasions. So that there is a dark side to the picture of human life. But even here I find an illustration of some of my favorite positions about the conservative in. finance of the domestic institution. The worst men, I willcontinue to atlirm, are those, who, either from choice or necessity, have no home. Perhaps out of a thousand families gathered after a week's work, there is not one gathered for vicious indul gencc.—Where youth arc vicious, 'they comonly hate the hearth stone. Saturday evening is a good criterion of the attachment which a young man bears to the virtuous attractions of home. As the guardian angel of the fireside, woman has here a great peril and hopeful work. I wish 1 could im. press on the wife, the mother,and the sister, the value of their influence in this particular. Make home delightful, and you will work wonders. That wayward youth may, perhaps, be won by sisterly invitation. Sparc nothing that is Fairly within your power to make it worth his while to spend his Saturday evening with the family. So long as you have this hold upon him, you may almost bid defi ance to the attempts of evil companions. Let it not be forgotten that we owe all these good influences to religion. There would be no Saturday evening, if there were no Christian Sab bath. In countries where man and beast work seven days in the week, there is nothing which resembles the pleasant scenes to which I have alluded. In such countries there is little of what we mean by home. Who would undertake to explain to a French laborer " the Cotter's Saturday night: " == Mum:sc.—The amusement of reading is among the greatest consolations of life; it is the nurse of virtue, the upholder in advesity, the prop of inde pendence, the support of a just pride, the strength ener of elevated opinions ; It is a shield against the tyranny of petty passions; it is the repeller of the fool's scoff, and the knave's passion.

The keeper of a country inn, situated some dozen miles from the city, an honest, ignorant, un. sophisticated farmer, taking it into his head that his establishment wanted a new sign, (which was a very sensible conclusion, inasmuch as naught was to be seen of the old sign, save a cracked, broken, disfigured board, creaking on its hinges as it swung lazily in the wind, and not. having the least vestige of the original painting left on it) took it into his head to have a new one executed, and accordingly, being in our goodly Quaker city on business, con. suited the proprietor of one of those shops, where "house and sign painting and glazing" are done. " Well," said he, "how much are you goin' to charge me; you know I can't afford to pay too much, 'cause I'm not a money bag, and you city people can stick it on sometimes?" "Ten dollars," replied the painter; " I could paint you one for ten dollars, although it's too little a price for the quantity of work." "Too little I" ejaculated the inn-keeper," tuo lit. tie! du you call ten dollars too little for paintin' a sign By thunder, I cannot afford to pay any such a price." "Why," returned the artist, "you can't get it done any cheaper. What do you expect to give?" " Well, I don't know," said the inn-keeper," but I guess five dollars would be quite plenty." "Five &Hats!" exclaimed the artist; but seeing what kind of a customer ho had to deal with, lie resolved to "make him pay for his stinginess;' so eller some &inuring, he agreed as follows "I'll paint you a sign for five dollars. You say you want a white bear on it. Well, I'll paint you the bear, without a chain, for the amount you of fer." "0, hang the chnin, I don't care about. having it any how. Paint the bear without it, and I'll pay you five dollars." The bargain was thus closed. In due time the sign was painted, delivered to its owner, and hung up aloft in place of the old one, where it was the admiration of the family for a whole week after- wards. REIM At length there come one night a heavy storm of thunder and lightning, accompanied with a del uge of rain. Next morning it cleared off, and the old fellow went nut as usual to admire his new sign, when what was his astonishment to behold not a vestige of the bear left. The picture was completely effaced from both sides. His first thought was that come mischievous youngster of the neighborhood had scraped it off, hut there was no evidence of any scraping, and the paint was gone as smoothly as could he. "I'll go to town to.day and see that painter," said he:.. he has cheated roe." And so in double quick time he was landed in the painter's shop. " What kind of a sign was that you painted for mer "A white bear." " I know it was, but there is not much white bear left now. It's clear gone. The board's there. but there's not a mite of a white bear left on either side. How is this 7 "Oh:it's clear enough. Cheap goods are nev er the best; I told you I'd paint you a bear withonf a chain for five dollars. I did so. How could ye.. expect such a wild animal as that to remain with. out being chained." The countryman could " not exactly see into this," but after much grumbling, concluded that it was best to hove the chair, painted in the picture, and thus insure its remaining. For an additional ten dollars this was done, and the renewed picture did not disappear after that. This puzzled the countryman more than ever, but he concluded the painter was right. The render, will of course, have guessed that the lost sign was painted in wafer colors, and the last in oil paint. The water colors disappeared, as a matter of course, after a hard drenching. The countryman generally gave people a good price after that. -~~wi~~iA,~M 4. Writ Din HE FUCK THAT HAT?" Some few days since, our readers will recollect, that we pub. !idled a humorous paragraph headed as above. The writer of the same gave some facto, and spec ulated upon the matter, but lie could not furnish an answer to the questiou for the life of him. Neither can we ; the most we can do is to tell a story, and leave our readers to answer the question. A few waggish boys, on Monday, placed an old hat, a venerable looking old hat, not presenting the ap pearance of hissing been much kicked, upon the sidewalk in Leverett street; beneath, was placed a heavy stone. The boys then scattered to await the result. The first person that passed, looked as if he was in haste for his supper (it was near six o'clock ;) lie merely cast a. glance at the hat, and rapidly strode on. The second passer-by was a stout, strapping black fellow, who cast upon the hat ci peculiarly malignant glance, and the next instant, as thunder follows the flash, he gave it a tremendous kick, and recoiled from the object of his hate, (the hat, which didn't roll in the gutter,) with a veil that started the whole neighborhood. Some filly boys, as if by magic, stood upon the sidewalk, who laughed as if their sides mould burst. The negro limped away, showering curses "thick and fast" upon the venerable bat— but "why did he kick it ?"—N. 0. Bee.
