Ti
young man paused before her, took
' hnd, and checked her rapid walk.

" No, John," and ber durk e yes fell be

" You gave me no auswer tben ( tut you

for food and warmth. Amelia, I have do tircly, so devotedly, so patfiionately that

"Jobu I d j not ned to learn."
" Is it possible that you love me now,
Ann-iii ."
She only drew a little nearer to biin in
anmrr and be drew her closely to his
Ircait, and pressed bis lips to hers. She
s'aid one moment in the dear embrace be
felt ber warm breath upon his cheek, and
saw ber soft, silky curls lying upon bis
shoulder- then she glided like a fpirit from
his arms, aud joined her unsuspicious moth
er again.
But be accompanied the ladies home.
He felt her little hand rot softly in his.
and half returned its prcsure as hi aniated
her from lie carriage, and her whisper
"Come to-morrow, John," sent him home
iu a state of prifict happiness that bani-b-td
ail skip from his pillow. lint Amelia,
are sorry to say, after ono secret smile
at hr mother's amazement beu the truth
fLould be known, aud one tender thought
uf the handsome lover who was to drsr to
her, slept n u-t unromaiitically until the
breakfast bell had muiiJeJ twice on the
eusuing morning.
The sight of the young physician ascend
ing the sli p fjr an early morning call on
that eventful day, made her heart beat with
a vague mixture of j y, alarm and mirth.
The widow looked up from ber embroidery
as the bell rang, and said w ith a ijaii-t smile :
" The doctor grows rj'jte devoted in bis
attentions. Ilcslly, Amelia, I don't know
that I can do better, Diesa me ! whtrc has
the child gone !"
"The child " bad vanished to her own
room, and the entrance of the young lever
checked the word'', which were upon tl.
mother's lips. lie gri trd her with an cm -barrss-nirnl
that did but escape ber watch
ful eyes, and saying to herself, " The hour
is at band he is about to speak," allowed
(he conversation lo languish, aud sat with
ber ryes fixed upon the carpet, awaking
the auspicious moment whin the long ex
pected declaration should full upon her ear.
He lift his chair and took a m at beside
her on the sofa, lie took ber bam! her
heart beat fa-t, and the truant blood rush
ed to her cheek, but he was too much agi
tated himself to notice her strange confjsiun.
" My dear madam," bo said timidly,
" have I erred iu thinking that you have
always louked upon me kindly unce our
first acquaintance V
" liless mc !" thought the widow, " the
man thinks I'm goit.g to Ull him at once
that I love him! But, then, he's young
Slid uuued to court-hip, and 1 mu.-t give
biin strong ftieoursgi nn tit "
" You hue not been mistaken. I have
always esteemed you highly; ranked you
indeed among my very dearest "friends, if
I may tell you so."
.. .. r t, i i ii.i;
I be young maus lace uu-neo suuucnij
be io'iited eager and animated as he con
li r, m- J ;
" You little know bow happy your words
have made me. You would not then, fear
to trut me you would not refuse what
could nuke mc happy, even if I some
thing most prcri.ius and dear something
that I have euvttel si'lec we lir-t met"
" What can it be ?" wondered the widow.
" My picture, a lock of hair, or my own
dear self! "
' You are silent," said the young man,
H .ickly. " Csu it be that you have no
faith ill me: Bi lieve me madam, the
pricelisi treasure of a woman's love is in
estimably sacred in my eyes. I iiewr could
b. tiuj the faith and coi.fi lti.ee r. posed it,
me j never wouud the heart that was all my
ownl"
I fear nothing. I huve perfect confi
dence in yon,"
"Thank i"d fur that! Then you will
nut refu-o the boon, yon will not make me
pk-ad in vain!"
"How can I Dr. Hazelton: You I
cannot resi.-tyour eloquence," and the wid
ow drew near, and looked confidingly iu
bis fnce.
" I have another name," be said gently,
" call me by that, it will sound less formal
and give me some assurance that you are
in earnest that you are not sporting with
the best hopes and dreams of a heart that
has never loved before."
" I am iu cariie.it, John," was In r low
reply. " But are ;'iu when you say you
have never loved before ?"
" Perfectly so, Madam. I have always
been a lonely ambitious man. My profes
sion has been my mistress and my wife. I
have never known more than the name of
love till now."
" Aud now you are quite certaiti this is
no idle fauoy," b said, coquetisbly.
" Quite certain that you will regret nothing

" I am satisfied, Jobu. I ask no wore,"
I
sue inurmureu.
"Then I bare your permission to nee
Amelia, and tell bur that it is all arrang
ed !'' aked the young man. " Dear girl,
you little know bow lung I have loved you,
yet feared to fpeak."
" Amelia 1'' gapped the borror-stiickeo
widow.
" Amelia!'' replied the unsuspicious lov
er. " Iu giving her t me you will give a
life long happiness, for which 1 nhall always
bless you. Can I Bee her this morning,
dear mother.''
That word capped the climnx." What
mortal could bear more after so egr?gious
a blunder.
" Wait a moment, nnd I will tell her you
are hcie,"' stammered tho widow, and van
ishini; from the room, die Foa'ht her cham
ber before her self possession should vanish,

him the secret lie had never g'R';cd.
" Iu a mercy I have so inucli p'eseuce. of
mind," she said, ten minutes later.
' How could I have been such a foul !
as it is. I don't think I shall break my
heart. Now to seal Amelia's lips' and
in arching up to that young lady's room,
she entered, closed the door carefully, and
said iu an unconcerned sort of way :
" Do you wish mo to give my consent to
your marriage with Dr. Ilazelton! Do
you love him V
One glance at her mother's face, gnard
cd as it was, showed the girl that she knew
all, and she answered frankly
" Yes mother, I wish for your cousent
and bles-ing ''
" You shall have tln ni on two conditions.
First, promise never to tell him of au" i
idle words that I may have dropped men
can never take a joke, you know. Second
ly, defer your marriage for three inuuit.a.
Do you accept these both of these re
member. ''
" I do, mother."
" And will keep them ?"
" Mo.-t faithfully."
'' Then go to him, be is waiting for you,"
and pressing her lips to her daughter's
forehead, the widow passed down the stairs
to her own private parlor.
Three months afterwarJ, there wag a
double wedding at Mrs. FitZsitinnon's mag
nificent home, and many were there who
divided ail t heir admiration between the
brilliant bride of the young physician, aud
the mother, who, with the gift of her fair
hand, rewarded George Henderson for
years of unobtrusive courtship and unfeign
ed affection.

used to tell of a friend of his dropping iu
about dinner time un an old lady, who in
kited him to draw up to the table. There
was a hiit'c pie of the pot order for dinner.
The old lady helped him bountifully, aud
be being hungry was duine justice to it.
" Stranger," said the old lady, "you wifl
find nltiiu.-t every sort uf meat in this pie."
" Ye, iiKidain," said be, " and fish too,"

imagined was the back boue of a red-horse

GonP. A young man from the town of
S , in Richland county, Ohio, having
determined to celebrate the 'Glnrinu-Fourth,'
visited Cleaveland on that occasion, accom
panied by a fair damsel, The young man
never having been much from "bum," was
somewhat unaccustomed to the " usages of
this world." He " put up ' at the Wcddell
and oidcred dinner, which, iu due time be
ing announced, the young gallant boldly
walked iu to a sumptuous repast, leaving
the young lady alone in the sitting-roam.
After partaking of a meal that "astonish
ed his bowels." he returned to his compau

ceedings and remarked : ' 'J he dinner

we can vouch for. The young lady was lti

The Railroad Land Smdk. A very

a on the Baltimore aud Ohio Railroad,
ten miles above Piedmont. A tremendous
mass of earth and trees slowly moved down
upon the raek aud olTt-red so formidable
a" obstruction as to render its removal iiu-
possible. The road master, Mr. Bolluian,
ut once determined to establish an entirely
new line of road through the ridge, at a point j
outbwaril ot the cut. I'or tnis purpose a
j heavy work bad to be undertaken. A new
i cut of full lii:y feet in depth had to be made
out ot the rock, which was of the mo.it uu
yielding texture. The ucw road is between

splendid Bengal tigress now traveling with

tell fortunes, and do a variety of feats too
numerous to be described; all dressed, bar
uesscd and instructed according to their
tasks. The fleas are all secured to their
respective positions, aud perform at the bid

POLITICAL DISCUSSION.
Recently Mr. John M. Butts delivered a.
very strong and able speech at Taylor's
Springs, iu Rockingham county, Virgiuir
in favor of Mr. Fillmore. He was replied
to bv Mr. Harrin, the Democratic elector
&r that district. During his speech Mr.
""ris several times alluded to Mr. Butts',
opinion ou the subjoct of the power of Con-
reS9 t0 Ie?i?,a!8 for the Terntcie.. and
uot oeeupy the same poMtion upon that fjueu-
his opiniens were Dot in issue ia this can
vass, lie would, however, ask the gentle
man who bad propounded the inquiry,
whether he considered an admission of the
eon-titutional power of Co-ogress to legislate
on the subject of slavery iu the Territories
an in-uperable objection to a caudidate for
the Presidency ?
Mr. Harris. I certainly do.
Mr. Botts. Then you, of course, would
not vote for Bit if I were a candidate, and
held the opinion ?
Mr. Harris. No; and, so help me heav
en, I would vote for no man for any office
who subscribed to so daugerous and odious
a doctrine !
Mr. Botts. Very well, sir ; my opinions

Harris stood covered with confusion, look

expressed it, " as if he had an attack of

After a fen minutes, the Democratic or-
i.ir stnmriipr! nut t.hut Mr. Buchanan's
real opinion was that Congress had the pow
er to legislate for the protection of slavery,
but has no power to legislate for its prohi
bition. " Indeed ?" rejoined .Mr. Botts, " then
you think the power exi-ts to legislate cn

you for that compliment to his intelligence.
