All 'he girls in I'iowervale wore in love with
Einry Vernon. 'I h.it is to say, bey admired pim
excessively, and wire ready to fail in love, if be
should lend the way. Fanny Vomers, the little
witch, was tin: only exception Merry, dancing
and pretty as a fairy, it was a question win di. r
she had ever yet thought of love ; ii she hud, she
n ver t:!l.e 1 ol :t.
Ilnrry'a father was a Senator in Corgrrs , end
lie hinw.il was a young lawyet of brilliant talents,
finished education and handsome fortooe. It was
known that Ids lather wished In m to marry, and
(iid not, as is often the case, insist on his selecting
an heiress. The now "rev haired statesman bad i
made a bive-niatcb in his youth, and still wor
shipped die memory of the wile he had too early
lost. 41 Lei your heart rhoose, my son," ho said.
Marriage, without H ue afilction, holds out but a
poor show io.r hipjiiiif.-8s."
Most of those, doI directly interest' din the
j event, oongbt t!:a. Isabel Fortesque wouJd cajrj
; of! toe prize .She was decidedly the belle of the
village. Having received her education at fash- ;
ionablc seminary, there was scarcely an accom
plishment ol w hich she could no: least. Besides,
the lamtliefl of V'emon and Port esq U6 bad iseeri I
the h ading nncj in ihe county for two ceneradons, I
and gossips said that the union of the twolortunes
and of the united influence, would give Uarry a

len. '1 hose who envied her accused her of man
osverinfi : v. in him. "Throws herself in his
wr.y continually," said one. ' Did ever any I
body," cried another, M see a girl make love so
bare-tacedly ? ' "She ought to get him, I'm j
sure,"' sneered snotlier, for she has tried hard j
enough." Neverthi less, as honest chroniclers,
we must record the fact, that some of these very
young hdics such is the infirmity of human na- j
ture, did tlo ir very prettiest to nut manccuver Isa
beland ge; Harry for themselves.

did not observe Hurry, h was not till she turned
to put down the dredging-lo., that she beheld
him.
.Most of our fair renders, we suppose, would
have screamed, and perhaps have run out ol the
opposite door, fanny did no such thing. She
blushed a little, as was natural, but, having no
false shante, she saw no reason to be frightened
merely because r. handsome young irent!- man h .d
Canght her at work. S j s!;e cttrtasled prettily,
laughed one of h-r gayest laughs, and said, hold
in up her hands.
" I can't shake hands v.iih you, Mr. Vernon,
you see. Mamma was kin ! enough p let me o

" No, no." si id Harry, charmed by this frank
innocence, and uaeereniioniously taking a w. !,
c iii. bed chair, " I've only a few minutes 10 stay.

the fatigues bl yesterday."

laughingly, Never grow old ? Oh ! soon cn;ugh.

Hai ry laughed too, so ludicrous wrts the iinnge J 1
and dius he and Fanny veto r mneli at home
with each other, at ooce, as i; they had been ac- ;
qoainted for years.
The intended five minutes imperceptibly grew
into ten, and the ten into half an hour, Fanny
continued her house hold work, pfaasautly chatting i
the while, both si e end Harry niuiaHy became (
interested as to forgel time antl place alike. At j
last tiie en tr 9 nee ol Tdts. Somers interrupted the I
tete-a-tete. Panny was a little embarrassed. Ivhen I
she found how long she and Harry had been alone
but the easy, matter-of-course manner of Harry,
f
s ho shook hands with her mother, restored her
to herself.
ll the elegant refinement about Isabel had
ti mpted Harry to fad in love, the household charm
which surrounded Fanny forced him to do so,
whether or no. He went away, thinking to hirn-
! s'jU whitta charm rng wife fanny would make, and
' bew sweetly she would look, in her neat, home
i i .-. .
dress, engaged in her domestic duties. Nor is
Harry the only young bachelor, who remembers
thai a wife cannot always be in full dress, and
who naturally wishes to know hew she will look
in the kitchen. "A wife ought as inoeb to knot?
how to manage her house." he said to himself, "as
a man to understand business. I don't wish a
wile of mim-. indeed, to be maid of all work : but
I should like to have her capable of overseeing
her servants : and domestics, discover ve rv soon

Hurry sought, for a Iffe-time, he could not have
found a witV- so c mpanionable, and so suited in
every v. a v "o him.
W bat a talk the engagement made w hen it come

a -(.lays, to suppose that ii is debasing to engage in 1
domestic duties. To a man of sense, dearest, a

time. As Wordsworth w rites,

As be recited these lines, with exquisite sensi
bility, he put his arm around Fanny's unist. and
drew her toward him : and the voting wife looking ,
Hp into his face, with devoted affection, rested her:
head on bis bosom, and shed happy tears.
And so we leave them.

Most peepi think the selection of suitable runt

ness. HoW great an error. It is by all means
the most difficult. To look over and over hun
dreds if exchange papers every week, from which
to select enough Ibr one, especially .vh?ii the
OMis ion is not what shall, but wjiat ahsdl not he
selected, is no easy tesk. Il evert person who
reads a paper could have edited it, we should
bear less complaints. Not unfreqiKmtly is it the
case that an editor looks over all his exchange
papers for Something interestinir rind can abso
lutely find nothing. Every paper is drver than a
contribution U-x ; bud yet something must be hao,
his paper must come out with something in it, and
he eoes the hi st be can. To an editor who hi

where fourteen days find been occupied in erecting
three immense prickly piles of green hush. These
three clumps of piles, of a strung brier of thorn,
armed wnh the most dangerous prickles, were
placed in line, occupying about four hundred yards,
leaving onlv a narrow passage between them,

The diums and trumpets soon announced the

as a trophy cf valor. I coun'ed seven hundred

approval of their conduct.

There rannot be a greater error than to be
frequently changing one's business. If any man
wiii look around and notice who have got rich and
who have not, out of those he started life with,
w ili find that the success luj have generally atack
to some one pitnvrt.
Two I iwyers, tor example, begin to practice at
the same 'irae. One devoh s his whole mind to his
profession ; lays in slowly a stock of legal learning,
and waits path ntly, it may be lor years, till he
gains an opportunity to show his superiority The
other, tiring of such siow work, dashes into politics.
Generally, at ihe end pi twenty years, the latter
will not be worth a penny, while the former will
have a handsome practice, and count his lens of

when attention is directed toward them by Hus
sia's ofli r n transfer their ownership to us, we
find it difficult to arrive at a proper knowledge of
the territory proffered in exchange for some of
superabundant millions. But though compara
tively unknown, the Russian possessions occupy
a large space on the map of North America. Ex
tending a distance not exactly measured around
and above Nootka Sound, and reaching inland to
the 151 of west longitude, Russian America em
braces a territory variously stated at from 259,000
to y? 1,000 square miles, with on area equal to
near'v eight States of the size of Pennsylvania.
This territory is bounded north by the Arctic
ocean, south and west by the Pacific ocenn and
Bfeh ring's Straits, and on the east by the line ol
division from British America, which commences
on '.he Artie ocean, at the 141st parallel of longi
tude west from Greenwich, down to the 60th par
allcl id latitude, where it diverges and runs down
to latitude 55, on which it enter? the Pacific. The
population of this immense region does not exceed
fifty or sixty thousand souls, of whom ten thou
sand are w hites, principally Ku-sians and other
Europeans and tl. ir descendants, who are con
nected with tin' vuii'.us trading st.ats of the Rus
sian Fur Company.
The unlives are chiefly E-qnimtinx and Noolkn
Indians, a hardy and vigorous race, accomplish' (J
in all the arts ol fishing and bunting, but in ev rv
other respect miserably degraded and uncivrlia-d.
They are held in n state of subjection by t lie
whites, wnh whom they barter the skins and pel
tries gained by the chase. Siikn, or New Arch
angel, a port and town on the island of Barronov,
in King Reorgc'n A rchipelago, on the northwest
coast, is the chief Russian settlement and the
principal trading port of the North American
Company. Barraiiov, so named alter its discov
erer, but more generally known as Si'ka, is the
largest ol the Aleut's islands, and lies off tho
mainland of New Cornwall, at some distance
from the body of Russian America. The town
is a mere assemblage of wooden houses, with that
usual append .ge ol Russian towns, a fortress.
From ih nee the Fir Cnmp-my directs its irade
with Riusia proper, and also to a small extent
with China and the Marquesa Isl uxls. Of late
years ice has also been sent from there to Califor
nia. Its whole, Irade does not exceed half ii mil
lion of dollars a year, and is rated by many ut a
much lower figure. The control of Russian
America is vested exclusively in the company,
whose directors n sidn at St. Petersburg, and pay
an annual tribute to ihe Cxar lor the almost abso
lute privileges they enjoy.
We have thus br; fly thrown together such par
ticulars as we hare been able toga the, 111 refflfTon
to the territory which is now offered to vis by Rus
sia. The moijyp which has induced, thai off r is
undoubtedly ihe Cz m's inability to hold it ngairjst
the seizure throat-ii' d by Kniil nid. The latter
power has heretofore 1 een sunp cted of looking
with a covt tons eye upon the Aleutian islands,
and the present war affords ih'm an opportunity
to oh.ain them which she will not be slow in adopt.
