It was voted by the younger part of the community, to bo very dull io iliiVton vil ligo during the cold weather.

Meanwhile, the object of their curioaily, all unconxcious of tbe interest manifepled io his affairs ly bis dcw neighbor, was enjoy ing Aunt Deborah's hospitality. Aud in deed this pood lady bad taken the greatest pains to make every tiling comfortable for ber young guest. The "beptroom" bad received such a thorough sweeping, thst wit! out the aid of a inicrocope you could scarcely have discovered a speck of dust on tbe rarpct, tbe vases on cither sido the man tel piece were died with gay colored paper lamp lighters, fancifully fringed aud curled at the ends; tbe best patch quilt (l!asy' handiwork,) was spread on tbe high pouted, old-fashioned ltd, nd Aunt Deborah, as tbe highest mark of respeclsbe could pos-1 jsibly psy ber visitor, bad relnoved from the parlor the treasured portrait cjf Gen. Wash- legion, to adorn bis chamber, . I Etipcotised in lis new quarters, a few days j after lis debut at II a tie ton, Arthur Lisins- ton wrote thus to a city friend t j Dear MAttfttiALi. You doubtless are cu-; rious to know the oause of my sudden He Iparture from the city. I will expltiin. You I mupt know then, that there is a certain Bjs- '. 'sy Conway residing in this village where I I am stopping, with a count ryficd old auot of hers. A fow weeks ago, her jrrsndfather, 1 in dying, was considerate enough to be-j jiietb to this little eoantry,-i all jiis pro- jperty, coosiatitig of bis line eoou'ry seat,! (which goes by the lomcwhat romsntio name , of Tbe Chase,) anl quite a snug little sum in ready money, vhtcb will eome tuto ber, fospesMon on her egbtcentb birthday. Now I propose to kind!' undertake tbe mansge-, ment of this property. To accomplish which : I shall le obliged to make ber Mrs. Livin-' ston." i Congratulate ne, my boy, for I think there is ecarccly a doubt of roy success. , Mips Bessy is vieitoii occasionally by a young fellow called Harrj Heade, a country bump- ' kin, and I apprebind no danger from that quarter. I shall nit be cbeckuiatcd, unlet- someihiug unusual turns up. Tbia matter niut of course be kept secret. Yours truly, Ahtiiur Livinstos. i Unfortonati ly for tbe auecesa of bis scheme Arthur LiiUiaton left this letter lying unfol ded on tbe table when be obeyed the sum- luons to dinner, and Ann, tbe maid of all work, enteiing shortly after bis departure, and flirting ly, lruhed the lctttr from its resting placo. Having repieuisbtd the Ere,! she spied a piece of paper ou tSe newly swept carpet, and, without giving it a second ; glance, stuffed it io the col hod, wbicb she carried into Viss Bessy's room, and left. Arthur, on bis return, ruisavd the letter, and questioned Ann about it, gathering from ber confused account that it bid been burn- j ed for waste paper; be reproved ber for ber carelessness, ud that sasue evening wrote again to his friend. Alas ! for your hopes of success, Mr. Ar thur. At that very lime your lost letter was in tli. possession of the little tiiai 'eu nboiu you t'o eotifiilcntly ei peeled lo win. That iii'l.t, a. B.-y satin her loose- gown before a hinting Ore, pmrothir.g out the tangled curl, aoon to le tucked under : a niowy iiigbt-cap, ber ryes fell ou a piece j of pink note paper in the coal bod. Sbe ;loolud still fur is i','t ojoruenta ..rr , I way, lut femin 16'c' curiosity pot the lettr of her drowine, and tripping across tbe ; room, she eiamined Arthur letter, wbicb, though considerably soiled and crumpled, she succeeded, at last, in deciphering. j Her bright eyes, as the read, lost their j sleepy look, and cpened to their widest ex , tent, and tbe glossy ringlet, so DCitly ar- 1 ranged a niometi! before, were tossed care- ' Ileasly back from the flushed faro. j " So, sir ; that is your game !"' soliloq'iix ed lie indignant little damsel, doubling up' ber white band io a most belligerent fah-1 ! ion. " You thought to win the heart, and,' jwbat you value more, the foi'.utteot the j i ' li'lic country girl, with your city manners and floe speeches, did you ? Tho baud, tho' ! very soft aud white, that you extended to ! help me across th snow drift yesterday, was very slight support, Msstcr Arthur. My Harry's strong arm would have lifted 1 roe to tbe other side in a jiffy, without the least effort. I am afraid, although you don't ' apprehend any danger from that qimttcr,' that you will be 'checkmated,' my dear sir." Having relieved ber fecliups by this little outburst, Bessy finished disrobing, blew out 'he light, and jumped into bed. Dire visions of vengeance on ber scheming lover flitted through ber curly bead that night. No one would have supposed, from tier behavior, that Besy harbored other than the most friendly feelings towards Arthur Livinston. Itid.-ed, the gonaips of lUt'tton, who had evinced so much interest in that gentleman's affairs, asserted that, on the con trary, Miss Bi'S'y wa making the mot shameful attempts to captivate the aforesaid gentleman ; that she not only permitted him invariably to escort her home from singing school, but that she, with tho most reckless disregard of appearances, actually accom panied him on long sleigh-ride by moon light, without taking ft third person to give au air of propriety to the affair. They won dered bow Harry Beade relished Icing jilt ed in that heartless manner. Whether this gossip ever reached Bessy's ars or not, I do not pretend to say j lut certain it it that, as she sat beside the kitch en fire, one stormy evening, about four weeks after the arrival of the city gentle man, ber eyes were as bright, snd her cheeks as red, a tbougb all Haxleton bad not pronounced ber ft flirt. It was, iii'Iofd, ft wild night. Tho mow bad nearly drifted to tbe top of one of the kiicben windone, and tbe wind eam roar ing down tbe chimney, and howling about the bouse, until every door and window rat ties again. But what cared our little hero ine, as she sat by tbe cheerful fire, her la sy finger engaged in parting applet aa rosy as ber cheeks, wiih Tabby curled up at her feet, purring laxily, how wild tbe weather wai without. No amount of .now can keep Harry . - way, sue murmured io uerseu. ne win i , j . i i i. ii :n i B toon be here in spite of the storm.

I do not desire to in terrupt the current of the gentleman's argu ment, to which I have listened with iuterest aud pleasure; lut I leg leave to make a , 'uggesuon, auu u.eu . r J " i him. The gentleman atats that tbe Dem ocratic candidate for Speaker is niw rectiv .... i , .1 . 1112 fighly-eigbt votes, and then says that 0 0 ' oT r , the gentleman from North Carolina Mr , . Gilmer twenty three votes. We all admit - . , that those two votes united villi not elect a .. Speaker; the teudency of tho gentlemen a ' argument is to prove that if they could get ninety three votes for tbe gentleman from I ' "lyo", i"-- ---j ' Democratic party, they might, with our as sistauce, elect bitn Speaker. That is true ; but the "ires, up to this time, have de - ' r n0Il,lrle(, ,,,,, ,llr h,Te Dot bet.n svie t0 cst iiim tj-lhrce votes for Mr. Bocock, so that, bv uniting cur vote with them their etIldjlUIe coll,,'Le eie1ea. We h ave been wiring here eight or ten days to ascertain the streugtli of the respective candid ates, and tbe result has been no increase iu the Jr noue for Mr. Gil - iner, the candidate for whom we have voted. Now. iii this connection, I wish to ask this . .,. ;f twnl..MIJi tb;rt or more for :,jr. 0ilier, mill tbe aOoru- hep , e)ect pUveholder. the own - . ,. , c , , . . .,...i f,,r him fr Sneaker because he is slavenol , , , , ... . , ., T , . . fier, I would like to know it. I am not a- , . ,. v .i-.t ,t., ware of anv such oHcclion. 1 ttiitik that Mf h r(.eriv. , ta0Ugh from tbe D.uiocratic pide of the House to bg cn le cit.cte(l gpekt,r with s;UMc of lhofe who hlve voted for ... ... , .- , Mr- Gilnier, it will then le ample time to , . . , . . . appeal to the southern (ppoaiuou, to ascer tain whether they will vote for the Defi.o- critic candidate. I do not believe Mr. Bo , . , . , . cock can get ninety-three votes. A week s balloting has khowo that fact. I know that , ",, j r the southern Opposition can comm.nd for .r ,ir. Ulimer, or some oilier gcuucinau ui their number, more than thirty votes. Now, I .sk the gentlemei, upon the other side if they wiil come over to tbe southern Opposi tion, and belp us elect Mr. Gilmer? We lave been w siting to see Mr. Bcck's Ptrengtb. We c.n show, at aoy time, in my . . ,. , , opinion, thirty votes, or more, for the geotle man for whom we have voted, (Mr. Gilmer,) nd I desire to know whether gentlemen up- on the 0,,Pr ,iJe will come over and belp , . , . , T , ., . ,- us elect bun? I ask the question only iu 1 J 'bat contingency. Mr. McBAE. I lave beard with satis- faction and pleasure the remarks of the gen- , , .r n i , ..,,,; ill man from Tennessee. 1 lie first question , . f ,. I w"h to "k Lim '" tLe fP,r,t of 111 fairness, whether, when I have shown from t,e argument .hich I have made, that al- thou U ,he pouthern Opposition have some . . .- .i a ... .i. i,.... r ', , rower nationally, not having the control of , i - .- i a single State or political orgauiation, whe - tber it is fair to ask ninety men to go over , , ,,,, . ? That is the first question. J '1 Be next is this ; I want to know whether j be ha. yet satisfied me the Democratic members upon this side, ly any vote which b4S k.ecD taken, that ny man of lis party - , ti .i . can get 3D or 3j votes. Have the voles f . , nhown that ? Has the gentleman shown It? m -o.v alter the number. 1 wo of our number are not here, Mr. Stall orth, of whom we have beard nothing, and Mr. Browo, who does not vote because, I am told be is not of age. If they were here, and .11 our men voted, we should have niuety three, which, with twenty-three southern Oppposition, would bring us up to one hundred .nil six t,,eneDough to elect on the last ballot t.keo. No, I ask gentlemen of aouthern Opposition whether, though having a re present. tion upon this floor, but not the control of a tingle St.te, they can .ecom national ortauiziion if they plish ought not join us in the election of a Speaker I Tbe other question is, bo. does the gen tleman know that Mr. Boeook cannot get ninety three votes! Lay if all the Demo cratie members were , here be would get 93 votes, because that U our number of mem. bcrs. Tben vhy doea not that gentleman aud bis frieu.a come over and strengthen us with their twenty-three vote., and throw upon the anti-Lecompton Democrats tbe responsibility of deciding who shall le Speaker of this House? Again, I ask tbe gentleman how be can thow me that bis candidate can get more than twenty-three votes ? Mr. ETIIERIDGE. Tbe gentleman puts trsny questions, and I desire to answer them eJpVfy frankly aud jet so briefly not to interrupt the course of bis argument. Tha gentleman asks me bow I know that tha gentleman from North Carolina Mr. Gil mer can receive more than the number of votes be has heretofore received. I gave it as my opinion only, and I am vsry sin cere in that belief. We wiil, I doubt not, establish the fait, whenever the gentleman will protui-e me that those with whom he is acting will belp us in that contingency. Io regard to the number of votes being cast now for Mr. Bocock, I submit to tbe gentleman if it is fair to ask tbe southern Opposition to unite on Mr. Bocock, when they are unable, up to this present hour, by tbo aid of tbe party f-pur and tbe party screw, to bring into bis support those anti Lecompton members who do not renouoce affiliation ith their party? Every man Imuit koow thst they cannot cat ninety- 1 . . . 1 three votes for lim, for tbe reason that 'some members of the Democratic party re- j fuse to vole for Mr Bocnek, and ignore bis ' Democracy. I state it on my responsiSili- ' ty as an individual, that the gentleman 1 from North Carolina, Mr. Gilmer,) or at ' least some one of those with whom be acts, jcoulJ receive at any time more than thirty , votes. Now, I submit to the gentleman i . . . ., i . . "nether, when we nave cast mis numoer oi I .ote for the gentleman from North C.roli Mr. ;ilmer. will Mr. Bocock'. friend, ! come over, sand elect Mr. Gilmer! Iag.it ! k tLe gentleman from Misaissippi wheth- ! er. io bis opinion, tbo gentleman from Vir- cock io sufficient numbers to give bim ninety three votes ? If be can show that, then bis ngures and arguments will have ft , UJOre 0Iia and enduring basis to rest upon. Mr MtRAE. It is a mo-t exlraordina- ry thing that I cannot get anybody to eome up right fairly to the question. Laugh- up ter it does not matter on which side they are. I have not tbe pleasure of kuow ing personally that gentleman. I am not aware tb.t I ever Icoked into bis face be fore. But I inquired of my colleague Mr. Lamar w ho he was, and I am informed tb.t he is au honorable member from Tennessee by the name of Etberidge. Laughter. Well, sir, if tbe gentleman bad made hit statement in fairness, be would have re marked that when I spoke of our baring ninety-three votes, I excepted two one gentleman not having been he.rd from, ami the other being too young to vote. Of course, then, we can only get ninety-one votes. Hut that does not alter the fact in regard to the majority, because, i; we bad ninety three votes, we would coly require twenty six from the other side ; but with ninety-one votes, we have, 'o get twenty-seven. The fact operates against n. Could tbe Democracy, have elected Mr. Gilmer. We say ves; and the vote on the Tth Billot, Dec 1 Uth proves it. On this . ,. , . ' , , .
