'Possessing charms not unlike and al most equal to oneil adore,' exclaimed the young "travclt r ad -iringly. s he placed himself before the sparkling fire after fin ishing his repast, 'and expect ere long te lead to the alter, and with whom ynu are doubtless acquainted, as sho lives only in the mansion above the village, as I under stood.' - 'What!

Bewildered and astcnished at such a greeting from his fair betrothed, he turn ed for explanation to the mother, who, per ceiving the general embarrassment, step ped forward, and offering him a seat, ex plained to him ihayrince her daughter's re turn from the springs, she had, after iuaj ture reflection and examining her heart, thought it best to dissolve the engagement that had been made betw en them. The ruady cheeks of the suitor became of an ashy paleness, and his bloodless lips quivered like an aspen lea;, as be falteriug ly exclaimed 'And wherein is my offence? have T. me rited this? good heavens! and it this the gentle, the tender, the confiding Emma White?' ! ! I 'Sir, this is not the stage of the theatre, to enact scenes,' now spoke up the daugh ter, 'let it suffice to .know we are ever to be strangers to each other. You attempted to deceive me and pass yourself off for a gentleman, yhen it turns out you aro one of the working class, only apriuler, a por tionless journeyman, a fortuue-seeker. If you had a honorable profession, sir, and was of a good family, as I once fondly thought, we could be united, but as it is, I canuot aud will not descend so low V and as the young lady thus spoke, she tossed her head, and with a look of ineffable scorn and- contempt, proudly sailed out of the room. i Overwhelmed with dismay and stung to the quick, the young man sat paralyzed a few moments, but recovering somewhat of the shuck, rose and staggered out of the room. ; . i i Alas !' how crushed were his hopes now. Deceived, slighted, wronged, confidence betrayed, by one wuom he adored and lov ed, alas ! too well, and all for, being a low .-bred base mechanic . Aud rush ing madly to the inn, he sougDt his room and threw himself do qyerately on hi hum ble cot, from which he did not rise for twp long months; for the unwonted disappoint ment and" excitement of the morning had brought on a burning fever. From morn till night; aud night till inoirr,- the patient raven .a wild maniac, calling and conjur ing his Emma to come back to him, nd with his iuipfitieirc and querulousness, wearied all about him save one. The phy sician despaired of restoring him and re signed him t) the caro of the g'entle Au gusta, who watched at his bccUide Dight and day with unremitting assiduity, bore with his imbecility, administered to bis wants with kindness and soothed his irri tated spiits by the gentlest words and treat ment. ' i Finally, after the lapse of several weeks, he began slowly to recover, and reason returned once more. When having entire ly recovered, he thanked the kind hostess and daughter "with tearful eyes and heart over flowing with gratitude for their kind ness in watching over him in his weakness and infirmities. ' He called Augusta his preserver, bis guardia.n angel, and that he would hold her in grateful remembrance:, and though he was then about to depart and would not see jier again for years yet when fortune smiled upon Jiim again, she should hear from him. Till .then he bid, her a sorrowful, a tearful farewell and de parted. ' ' i k Years passed and still the unfortunate stranger was unheared of and almost for gotten by the good gossip of Salem, and even by the ono who caused his misfor tune?, Emma White herself ; yet there was one in that little village who still gave him a place, not on-y in her memory, but also in her heart. It was the hostefs daughter. -. I ...! Five years from the events just related, Richmond was crowded to overflowing, for the Legislature was in session, and had brought its uoual retinue of strangers, of fice and pleasure seekers.

WALKER GfJlNG "HdME.V, By some people William Walker's ex pulsiou from N o figca was regirded as the closing aet of the Filibuster episode in Central America. But tho hero of that remarkable enterprise never despaired of ultimate success Jn the moment of ca pitulation to the Commander of the St. Mary's, h'li spirit was as ;u'n'subdued and his language as confident, as if he was just entering upon a career of victory. Rarely, indeed, do men bear up so bravely against the blows of adversity, and betray in the extremity of misfortune such un conquerable reliance Tipoa their own re sources. This constancy of purpose, more than any other circumstance of his'career, elevates William Walkee above tha or dinary level of humility. - v Sooner perhips than General Walker himself anticipatedortune invites Sis re turn to Central America."' The degenerate races which possess and abuse that bounti ful region, exempt from the inflaen6e of his presence; begin aire idy to exhibit symptoms of the incurable anarchy that preys upon their mongrel community. They are incapable . of self-government ; they are unequal to the responsibilities of civilization ; and they mudt give place to some power that is competent to develop tfite destiny of the most magnificent region of the globe. Simultaneously with the renewal of the' feuds which have so long distacted the pret ty sovereignties of Central America, large reinforcements for Walkab hover along the coast if Nicaragua, awaiting the pres ence of their- leader to make a successful swoop upon the helpless quarry. Wc do not profess to be in the confidence of Gen eral Walker, but nevertherless . we ven ture the prediction, that before the lapse of Six month's, his power wiH be firmly established in Central America.

K,Tho" Boston Evenly Gafette I 'respon sible for this one :. " . , - Whbtt Topple' was in the horse trade, he had his eyes constantly about fiim for a speculation, and one day inTerniont ho fell in" with, among other apecimens,, a horSe, . whose principal points, wero tho points of bone projecting through bis sl;in a long; lean, lank ' white animal '.that had got some way beyond his teens whose qualities as a good -horse were vouched for by a neighbor who said : he had known him for twenty-four, years, and a kinder critter never, led oxen in a pIouILthau; he 11,2--: The horse was bought at a discount and shipped with three others in a' car for Bos ton, where he arrived safe, but scarcely sound. .Topple thought it a hard invest ment, and felt somewhat anxious as to how he should get his money back again, con cluding at last that he would undoubtedly make enough on the other three to? cover the loss on , this one which he roust, he oonceived, sustain. He had him stabled, and then the idea occurred to Topple that ho would attempt a little factitious excel lence for the poor beast and endeavor, to put him off respectfully. A horse of some celebrity had died just before, and Topple borrowed a large cover, that was wont to envelope the animal after running, and covered up his own Rosinante therewith. Immediately afterwards appeared an ad vertisement in the Post and other papers that tho famous trotter White Foot, was on exhibition at Bailey's and would be sola on a certain day, inviting people to call and see him. Tho usual formula was gme through with, 'of 'sound,' -kind.' stand without tying,' &o., concluding with the statement that he had gone his mile in less than three minutes. Theddvertisement brought many horse fanciers to the stable, where White Foot stood in a bed of straw, covered by the robe that had been borrow ed. ' Topple thought that boldness was the best policy, andcall6d the attention of his visitors to the fact of the horse being so poor, venting, the statement gratuitously that he had fairly run the flesh off his bones, and it secnied probable, asr the flesh wes not there. . As the day of sale arrived Topple visit ed his racer at regular , periods', and with a l?sh vigorously applied .endeavored to excite in him a disposition to appear vigorous pu inspection before the pub lic, and succeeded so far that before the time arrived the sound ofi Tcpples feet on the stable floor -wrought the poor beast up i,o a- peneci, iceuzy. tie Btampeu ana struggled in a manner extravagant enough to establish a large reputation for mettle. and Topple was satisfied. 'Perhaps,' whispered he to the auctioneer, 'we may get seventy dollars for him. ihe horse was brought to the block, and at the sight of Topple he manifested every sign of spirit. His nostrils were distended, bis eyes brightened,- and he stepped round nervously, as though be were impatient to have somebody buy him. that he might be going, inside of three minutes, over the road. , How much am I offered for the horse?' said Bailey; 'how much for White Foot? Shall I have o bid ?' - ' ' r 'Seventy-five dollars, sadd a voico. 'Seventy-five thaak you severity-five -shall I hear any more ?' 'One hundred, another voice. Twenty-five.' first bidder. 'Fifty,' second. . . ,. . , . I 'Go on gentlemen,', said Bailey, letting i the biddiog proceed, seeing the competi tion : 'any mcru . ihan one hundred and fifty for a horse that has been his miles in" les3 than three minutes?' 'Oho hundred and sixty,' anether bid der. .; ' 'Sixty-five,' first bidder. Seventy,' a new voice. . Seventy-five,' first and second together. 'Any more than one hdndred arid seven-? ty-five ? All done at ono seventy five ? All done at one seventy five ? Sold ! Dr. Small, of Cape Cod, takes him at ono hundred and seventy-five.' 'The bid was mine,' said the second bid der, 'and I insist upon it.' 4 . ,. - The contestant was a man living in town, and the auctioneer thought that for prudential reasons it would be better for the teast go out of. town, if he had strength to get out, so he gravely1 decided to whom he had knocked off the bargain. ' So anxious was the disappointed man to procure tho horse that he offered the doc tor fifteen dollars for his bargain, who in formed hiaa that he could not trade. The price, he said, was not much to him ; he waited -a h'ofse that would go quickly' and as he had.got a good one he should hold on to him. The money was paid ovr the animal delivered to tho purchaser, who procured wagon and harness and started for home, in the hope of reaching Cape Cod in about two hours. About ihat length' of time, after he left, a hose was heard mo lerately ap proaching the stable and the- face of old White Foot was seen once more in the pre cinct. . . '-. ... .-: 4 Well said the doctor, as he got pub of the wagon, I want to do now what J should have done before, ask about this horse. , Who knows anything about him ? This advertisement says' holding, up a copy of the Post, and reading the descrip tion 'that he has been his mile inside of ihree minutes r now I should like to know when.' " , 1 t j.
