"Godfrey, old boy," .aid Henry Clay ten. a. be tilted b.ck bi. chair, and put hi. feet upon tbe mantelpiece, " when is tbe wed ding to be?" " V bose wedding T " Mi. Laura Somen, or Jenny, which i. f" " I do not know, I am sure." " Now don't be mysterious, Godfrey ; you know you are a most constant visitor, and all ' our set ' re talking about the match. Don't pretend you bare not .elected oue of tbe sister. ' " llow do you know cither of them will have me !" Don't be absurd, old boy. You, young, banrianm, talented, end wil.h a lrg for tune, need not be over bashful. Come, be frank, which is the favorite sister?" Well, frankly then, Henry, I cannot tell you. I have visited tbe family for several months, .. you know, but I cannot decide. Laura is certainly the handsomest, with her Bashing black eyes aud queenly manner ; but Jenny seems, although the youngest, to bo tbe most womanly and useful of tbe two. Y'et, I cannot be sure of that. My entrance i. the signal for cordial welcome and .mile., and, let me call at what bour I will, they are alwaya well dressed, and ap parently disengaged. To be sure I always, in the morning, have to wait some time be fore Laura i. visible." " Pop in unexpectedly aDd notice the in ternal eeonomy." "How can I? A card at the door will put any lady on bcr guard, or even the no tice of a gentleman visitor." " Go there in disguise. A. a washerwo man, for instance. " "Good ! I will 1" "Go there a. washerwoman?'' cried Clayton. "Not exactly, but I will obtain admittance to a morning', priv.cy." " Well, let me know the result." L.ura and Jenny Somen were tbo only children of a widower: wbo, although in moderato circumstances, moved in very fashionable society. At the period of my abort sketch, be wa. about to supply the lamented Mrs. Somers' place, after near ly ten year.' mourning, and, although a kind, indulgent parent, had no objection to hit daughter.' marriage, and, iudeed, bad told them ao. Laura, whose heigh spirit esented tb. probable supremacy of a step mother, bad already selected Godfrey llor ton as berfutu.e husband ; and Fanny, wbo was younger and gentler in spirit, tried to conquer a carefully concealed preference for tbe same purpose. All bis attentions were ascribed, by her, to a brotherly re gard, though every act of kindness or cour tesy touched her very heart. It was tbe morning after a large ball, and tbe sister, were iu the breakfast room to gether. Laura, her glossy black hair push ed negligently off ber face, with tbe rough tumbled braid, of last evening', elaborate, coiffure gathered loosely into aeomb; wear ing a .oiled wrapper, torn stockings, and presenting ratber an alarming contrast to the brilliant ball-room belle, was lounging on a .ofa. Jenny, in a neat morning dress, with a large gingham apron, little white e liar, and bair smoothly brushod into a neat knot was washing the breakfast di-h"S. " There is an old man at the door with some artificial flowers," said tbe servant, opening the diuing room door, " will you lec him ?" " No," .aid Jenny. " Ye.," cried Laura, " send him up." The servaut departed to obey th last order. lo a few moments the old man came in. He wa. poorly clad, with a coarse blue cloak, which wa. much too large for biin. Hi. hair wa. white, and be wore a beard and moustache of the same snowy buo. Making a low bow, he placed the large basket be carried on a table, and opened it. " 1 have a bunch of blue flowers here," he .aid, takiug them from the basket, " tbat will just suit your golden hair, Mis.," and he held them before Jenny. It wa. my sister wbo wished to look at your flowers," .aid Fanny, quietly, " Yea, bring them here," waa Laura', iin periou. command. Tbe old man'. ey followed Jeuoy, a. ahe wished, wiped, and put away the dislies, swept the room, and duftei it, and then .at down beside Laura, who was still look ing oyer the basket. , " See, Jenny, this scarlet bunch. Will it not bo lovely with a few dark leave, to wear with my new silk?" " Rut," wbi'pered Jenny," you can't af ford it juHt now." "Yes, I can Father cive tne ome money yesterday. "To pay the last dry gocji bill." " Well, I can have that tarried to mv ' private account." " Oh 1 Laura, I hate to Lew you talk of that private account. It seed's o iuch like 'cheating father." i it v . I T. :it T Nonsense! It will stand till I am mar. r.ed, and then I can easily .ave it out of my house keeping money." " I should not wieh to marry in debt," I said Jenny. The old pedlar .'ooked earnestly at the 'sisters. " You bad better take this blue bunch, I Miss," he said to Jenny. "If it ain't con venient to pay for it now, 1 will call again. " No, I .ball not take thcui. " They are very becoming, M'us. in this glass." They were becoming, mixing with the glosiy golden hair, and setting off Jeony'. dazzling complexion. " I wish my bair was light," said Laura. " I should like to wear blue. Godfrey Hor ton said, last night, that forget me-nota were hi. favorite flowers." Jenny colored, and, placing the bunch again in the basket, said, " Come, Laura, decide. You are keeping one waiting whose time probably, is valua ble." then, passing a chair, she added, " Bc seated, sir, you look tired." " I am tired, indeed," was the reply. " I will take tbe scarlet bunch, and these red c.mtlias, and this wliite cluster," said Lgur4. " Hut. sister, vou canuct afford it." on eintirt art.-inl it " ou canuct anoru it. flndfret llorton is rich " uomre; iiortoo is r.cn. .it his Ho nis p. " i cs, I can. C ' The old man bit ' Think " said Jennv in a low tone if ' you love him, how muci it will grieve bim if b. should discover tlis deceit." I .. - . u' n T 'i I ..it I emerrndi'm of the housekeeping funds" the liouseKeeping lunns "t-o, thought the old man, M is house- keeper. Wis. ia.ura ..ways gave me lo understand tbat was berpost.' ' Laura! Steal from my father!"' "Then don't preach ' " Mis. Jenuy,'' said . servant, entering at that moment, "the dinner bas come," t Jeony left the room, and Laura still turn ed over the gay fioaars, while the old man pointod out their various beaiiies, his eye, in the meantime, running ove'tue disorder ed hair, sbabbby dress, and lazy position, whilst he mentally contrasted them with Jenny's neat attire. "Not decided yet!". aid J'nny, return ing after a short absence. " No. Come here." " I can't 1 Father has .enthome a calf's bead, and I am afraid to trust it entirely to Margaret. I must superinteid the dinner, make a pudding, aud the parlors must be dusted, aud there is my vuite oiulle to bo fini-hed." " Before I would be tbe dnde you arc !'' cried Laura. , " Drudge ! nonsense ' I b ve plenty of time left for enjoyment, and father cannot have a comfortable house, if .ome one docs not superintend these things. When I mar ry you may do it," aud .he aughed mer- 1 rily. "As if I should not marn Erst'."' said Laura. " I here. I have cbosm all I want Mian 1 call again lor tbe change ..id the pedlar. " I shall je happy to put 'the Mises Somers on my lit of customers." j " Y'es, cal! again." I So the pedlar took up bii basket, walked home, threw aside his wig, Jeard, and dis guise, and wrote an offer of, lis hand llnd heart to Mis. Virginia joiners, whicl. was accepted. Laura Somers bas two fcm"e:a of pro found speculation : One is, " Why did God frey Horton propose to Janny instead of me?'' The other, " I woo'kr why that old man never called to be paid for those ex quisite flower.!' ' Female Mail RoiihKKs is Newfound land. A St. Johns, N.

It appears that mon ey letters bad often disappeared of Ute, a moiig other a letter mailed by an editor from St Johns to Conception Ray. The editor finding that the post office authorities would not properly investigate the matter, appealed to the Governor, who inmed.ately ordered au ruquiry. which has resulted in some extraordinary developments. It seems tbat Mr. and Mrs. Shea, (wife and daugh ter of the chief clerk in the post office the postmaster general beiug ab-eut iu Englaud the chief clerk hail charge oi tne ornce,; and two servant cirlswho lived witht made a practice of op. i.ing the letters when ever they wauted nen cy, and appropriating the contents. If tiny found biils of ex change or foreign uotes they destroyed them. Iu one case, a widow won. ,u named Woods met with a seriou. loss. Some of her fricuds in Englaud sent her a 50 Rank of England note. Mrs. Shea not being able to pas it, burnt it. Numerous other cases have come to light. The discovery created great ex- citmu.t, the parties implicated being related to some of the high government officials. 7 ' The four female, are imprisoned m the pcui teuti.ry awaitiug their trial.
