Had Mr. jEJrvilie lived, the faUicr qf th 3 car penters boy, Albert, had no doubt occu pied as lo ty ,"and perhaps much more prom inent pos tioh in society, than did tl c in fatuated idia. Uut, alas!

The lad had hecouae im nation t knowinf that his master would reouile a certain amount of work at his hands. With a modesty seldom equal led in 'one of hisfsex, he requested , Miss Lelia td give him the necessary directions relating to the location of the arbor. The Professor left, and Lelia attended Albert to the garden. Tlie. arbor was soon finish ed, and the j" Carpenter's boy" was almost as soon forgotten.. ' - ' About two y cars from the period of which we are speaking, Miss Lelia made a visit to Albanynlhc Coach company, and th constituting Jier, travelling companions, she was informed , by the proprietor, were! to consist oiociorv lawyer -ai., rroies- sor M. B. and a mechanic, all of tbe cpty of New York. Lelia, in view of the select company; began,. to anticipate a pleasant journey., ; Until within, sight ."of Albany, their . progress was unimpeded by any thing ASHEVILLE, .jN.-:C; JULY 29, 1842. tending to mar the pleasure of their journey. Just then the whole company was thrown Into -consternation by a wild shriek from the driver. "Leap! Leap for your lives!" resounaed through the coach. I I The horses had taken fright. They were descending a long hill. The driver having lostj all control over the noble animals, saw thai it would be death to remain where he vas it jcould be lut death to leap: for life, he leaped, i The gentlemen seeing which, burst ofn the door, apd threw themselves out in confusion, leaving Miss Lelia, the only i female in tho coach, and the mechanic to sluft for themselves. Seeing which, the young man, who previously attracted LchVs attention; arid the only male regaining in the coach, proffered Her his assistance, which was mcst gladly accepted. Taking her n his, arms and placing his foot firmly upon. the jside of thej coach, he bounded 'so clearly upon the banks, as to bo entjrely be yond the :reach of danger. They escaped unhurt. The next moment the coach was dasbed to atoms against a tree. The horses wcrej caught soon after by some laborers on tjhe road. Lelia, however, was melted to fears by the unparalleled kindness ot this unknown: stranger, who had proven, himself . genuine friend, in risking his own life to ave hcrs. Such disinterested friendship was beyond' her conception. She inquired his name: 44 I he Carpenter s bov. said he, 'who built your arbour." I . 44.(IaiCTlu-as the rowaiiljfvou r va or,"said &eliat tendering hininer owrf splendid gold watch. : J 44 1 have -my reward, said he, respect ully declining the rich and valuable p'resent 44jil pray you then, not to decline accept ing rljPRKiddrcss," said Lelia, as she placed tcr card in his hand, 4that should you evcri peed a.friend, you may lnow whereto fhey were now within a short distance from Albany and concluded to walk! the re mairidur of the road. Lelia and! Albert were the only two passengers who Avcre able to walk. . v, ' - In h few days after this event Lclia re turned to New York, and Albert, as soon as he could arrange matters1, established limsqlf in business in Albony. t His! efforts were attended with success, far beyond his most j sanguine expectations In all his dealings and associations with' men, I he had asingleevcto tho promotion of the I one grand principle that 44 all men were created " and that inequality of respect! should equal be awjarded to men in proportion to their amount of intelligence. -.. i !' -'I . . f" ' ! Seven years after the event, Mr; Ver. mont1sriamo was found among-the list 'of applicants for the benefit of tho insolvent laws, j 1 his circumstance lor a lew days produced a slight change in the conduct of Lclia, but it was like the earl v dew, which passed away ; while she had fine ap- parel and plenty of money, "(for I believe it is generally understood that men seldom pe titionMcw until they have well lined their own pocKeis,; sne was not to ne circum scribecl in her usual route of pleasure, lle- trenchjincnt is perhaps tho most difficult part wth' those who have been reduced in circumstances, at least it appeared tolbo the most rugged part of tlie way to Mri Ver mont. How to descend Irom the lolty emi nence pf wealth and fashion, and retire to bscurity and seclusion, he knew not. He ad been too long the child of prosperity to bear reverses with fortitude. He had no proies$ion. uig, ne couiu noi, 10 oeg ne was ashamed. i I 44 VVould to heaven." said he. in the an iguish of his soul, 44 I had been a Mechanic." 4 La, Pa," said Lelia,' 4 what has, come I n V n .11 '1 over yu i l have frequently nearu you say ihat vou would as soon be a boot-black as a mechanic of any sort ; that it was a menial employ. j 44 1 grant it, Lelia, but I was in cror- one oi my fashionable errors; were i mechanic, now that mv fortune is gone - i that my riches have taken to ; themselves wings ,7my trade would be a resource. 4 Have you forgotten having spoken of mechanics as a presuming set ot block heads, who, you said stalked the street with their tools, with as much sane froid as Lawyeri would with his books, or a Doctor with his instruments! I . i.-- No! I have not 'forgotten but I have forsaken abandoned totally ; abandoned my former erroneous sentiments. 1 have very recently discovered that there exists no difference between the Books of a Lawyer and the Tools of the Mechanic, save the latter require the .exercise of the Hands, while the former that, of the head ;j they equally promote tho operator's design, though I believe1 the mechanic contributes more to. the public good, or the publiclpros perity." ' i , , I . It was deemed expedient by Mr. Vermont to retire with his family from the fashiona ble street and mansion in which they then resided. ' Every vestige of former splendor was now gone, and when all was! over, it was with a feeling of relief that the hus band and wife sat down together to lay schemes for the future. They determined to. and eventually did take lodgings in plain, but respectable private boarding housa where there was a single transient boarder beside themselves. : This gentleman they were informed was from Albany, and would remain but a week, or ten days at most having merely come to the city to purchase some articles of merchandize which iwere not lobe obtained in Albany. I . wThe dinner bell rang, and the little group assembled in the diminutive dining, room the new comers were introduced collectivc- ly to Mr, Albert Orviljo, who at once recog nized 'Lelia. Dinner passed in a very agrecahlo manner. -Mr. Vermont having just retired from mercantile life could speak of the turmoil attendant thereon, of the losses through failures' arid the fluctuations of the market , of the restless anxiety , of the perturbed state of mind incident to such a life ; to all of which Mr. Orville was'a total stranger, consequently to him it was an in teresting subject, in as much as he was pre paring to embark in a mercantile career. ;iTo Lclia, 'twas luxury to gaze upon this (self-made) nobleman of nature, rather than to feest upon tho choico viands before her ; his slight but elegant frame, evidently spirit worn a pale intellectual face eyes beam, ing with the beauty: of ,an ardent soul--a forehead singularly fair and - pure a well formed head a calm jand graceful address all, all were objects' of the highest admi ration' to tho infatuated Lelia. The lirrfs we have illotted to this narra tive will noradmltof aiminute detail ofcir currjstanccs ; "let it suffice to know that Mr. Orville's stay was protracted some four or five weeks over the time be at first thought tojarry in the city, in consequence of a mutual growing attachment between himself and Lelia. Duly, however, called on him to dash away, for aaime, the cup of sweets he longed to drain to the bottom. i ' Six rnont3 after thisjperiod, Mr. Orville rujiuruuu io Tcpicrusn pis siorc, out more especially to suggest the, following proposi tions to Mr. Vermont : . First, the union of himself with Lelia : (havbg obtained her consent by letter.) Second, to offer Mr. Vermont the man- agemcnt of his store ; difficulties.) (having heard of his I lie first of which the old man acceded to with evident pleasure? ; bnt when he com menctd, 44 and now my purpope is, (if you will accept of it without attributing to me a selfish motive,) to remove your entire fa- mily to Albany, where have a comfortable dwelling prepared for you, where you shall, during life, lack noncof, the comforts there of, ifjhey can be obtained by honest indus try, j This astonishing, intelligence was more than the good o'td man was prepared to re ceive ; he was completely overwhelmed in a llood ot tears tears ot unspcaKahle gra titudc. The old lady sat rubbing her hands with an occasional ejaculation of 44 Heaven be praised !" while Lclia sat motionless, too full to articulate a word. i "What! oh who?"! exclaimed the old man, 44 can this beautiful benefactor be?" as if invoking the inspiration of heaven. 44 rossibly my iond, my faithful Leha can toll JIftiJ Mr.OrvlIIe,as he handed Lelia her own card ! A glance was sufficient. ' Is it possible i exclaimed .Lelia, "is it the carpenter's boy V !l ' 44 Yes," he rejoined in accents of love, as he pressed her to his bosom. 44 It is the Carpenter's boy !" j And the preserver of my life," she added. 1 44 May ho be the sweetener of it, too." continued the old man. The "scene that followed the above may possibly be vaguely imagined bv the reader tor 1. shall not attempt to describe it, lest I should! do it injustice. ! :" I An explanation was immediately granted to the T mystified parents, who were, still wrapt, in wonder. Thisbping dissipated by the explanation, the happy family proceeded to prepare for the nuptials, immediately after the consummation lof which, they em barked for their new homes ; having learned from the fcregoing circumstances that it was less difficult for a mechanic to become a merchant, than for a merchant to become a mechanic. 1 i '! Ml tk.T ' T , 1 J -M . lNow, lielia, said per i tatner, you have learndd an instructive lesson. Your judgment has hitherto been of that'superfi- cial kind which attaches merit to the flimsy drapery which constituted a covering to the body. You have formed your estimate of the man from his birth occupation, or ap pcarancc." J .,! 4 This,"continued Mr. Orvilie, " is the great evil we should combat. I most ar dently believe that no such thing as respec tability can exist aside from an honest and useful life. I contend that no branch of industry is degrading khat no employment that contributes to the general goodand comfort of society is disi-eputable. I would ...... . p i ;t -I tolerate no other aristocracy than that of meru. i ieanessiy aeciare it a laise sys tem that would exclude the honest,: upright mechanic from the pale of genteel society." And in time, we may predict, without pretensions to prophecy ,j these will be the senumenis oi tne great massand men wn be judged like deeds by their effect and those alone will be considered good arid great, which have a tendency to improve mankind. He alone is great who rises by his moral force above the chance of fate who builds himself Vl pedestal, against whose base the surges of misfortune waste their strength in vain, and on whose surface sleep the rays of melting temptation without effect. . Those men arc great who leave behind them immortal monuments of high, gene rous deeds, or of their genius, which may serve as beacon lights to posterity. And those who by acts, however bold or renown ed, endeavored but to aggrandize them selves at the cost of virtue; honor, religion and human life, are never great , but stand as giant models of deformity. - The latest ; accounts from Albany are highly favorable ; every thing goes on swim mingly under the new arrangement. - The old gentleman is in the store ; Albert su periritends an extensivo business ; and Le na's first hornt altnogh named, after his father; seldom gets any thing but the Car; pexteb's cot.' j 1 .
