Quite an intellectual tele a-tete would it be, mother, dear." , Oh 1 tie, Lizzie, he ! But I am to blame for this. I've shown you too much indul- -l about ropairiiig my garden, and pluck out weeds and tares ere it be too late. . -Come sit down beside me. Lizzie, and I will give you your first lesson of wordly experience by relating to you a story, which The ruddy cheeks of the suitor became of I trust will lower your pride, aud make you ) an-ashy paleness and his bloodless lips abetter woman.

A mefe, butterfly in the world of fashion and pleas ure, making but small pretension to religion, is a character bad enough, but uoise to my mind is the fiery zealot, on the other hand, who has so many rigid virtues ; who is continually railing against the world, displeased at anything like social and ra tional enjoyment, and shocked at .the least merriment, dancing, playing, or any amuse-' ment that the heart, in iis fullness and glad ness, prompts the young and sprightly to in dulge.' So, then, avoid extremes of every description. But to the story : "Sixteen years ago, Salem, in Virginia, was one of the most lovely villages imag inable situated in the heart of the great valley of Virginia; yet commanding a mag- nilio;nt view ol tbe hold outlines ot the Alleghanics and the Blue Ridge. The vil jlafje contained no buildings of note save two one ol them a niagtuncent tenement, the princely residence of one of the 'Old Virginia aristocracy ;' the other, the only inn, n small, quaint, yet pleasant . house, nestled in the centre ofthe town, The proprietor of the one,, ar wealthy planter, and distinguished officer of the State ; tbe other a poor widow, whose only Jiving de pended on the. profits of her "table, which were but scant, as there was little travel ling done, at that day, through this retired village. And the advent of a stranger was always a subject of curiosity and interest to the good townfolks, as it is always so in the secluded villages and inns, in "the out-of-the-way places of America. To this little inn a gaily dressed, yet weary worn traveler picked his way one eveniDg in the autumn of I8- The bux om hostess and her tidy daughter were all life, and frisked about bestirring the savory viands, delicious cakes and eggs much to the satisfaction of our hungry traveler who apeared to be a young man of some twen ty summers, tall, commanding, of fine-appearance and pleasant mannars. He soon, by dint of frankness and suavity of manner, insinuated himself into the good graces of the hostess and herdaughteivwHh thelatter of whom be appeared to be much struck, for she was aa lovely as she- was neat and ".V L ossessing charms not unlike and &1- "" most equal to one I adore,' exclaimed the Voung traveller admiringly, . as he placed himwlf before the sparkling fire after fin ishing bis repast, "and expect ere long to load to the altar, npi with whom you are doubtless acquainted, as she lives only in the mansion above the Tillage as I under stood" ' What J Emma Wlute?" inquired .the hostess. f . " "Even so, my good" dame, J met her at the springs some' months ago. became en amored with hei, wooed, won, and now come to claim rtiy bride." "she is a beautiful creature, indeed! interposed Augusta, tbe hostess's daughter, ; " but somewhat proud as is her father." "Not so. indeed, irentle Augusta: ii the ! pi i W it K nothing but natureTpaiderv.J . . :.lrn errtf I Khntil1 lifivat m4 j v k'.ri. jiiata,' alia w "quite .11 - 11 I - l .1 1 ... tcii , wcii, i win ict tins oieasinc inieiit-. gence restrain me to-night, and to-morrow I win give toe fair enchantress, I trust, an agreeable surprise." Early next morning ss etiquette would pel mit, the young man set out with buoy ant heart and high hopes to the mansion. But we will precede him, and look in on his (air betrothed. . , In a magnificent pnrlor of the mansion sat Emma White snd her mother, the one mumming a piano an-l tlie other interro gating a servant "And you say, S.nn.bo, he lodged last evening at the inn ?" M Ves, miuse, de ck1c sty he dare now." " Well, you can retire snd so, ma, it is even as. I expected I thought it was him as he rode past List evening." " Well, Emma, how do you intend ' to bluff him off; I'm thinking it will be a shameful and delicate business." " Shameful, indeed ! When Attorney Logan introduced him to me at the springs, he brought him forward as one of the law students, and not as a poor printer, as he is I'll never forgive Mr. Logan." He is not to blame, my dear, he it his pupil ; didn't the letter tny he was a jour neyman printer At A . ,'but in considera tion of his pmmTsing abilities, Mr. Logan undertook gratuitously to bring him to the bar?"-- : x " Well for all that, I'll never marry a poo pi inter. I did have a tender regard for him once, and when I gave him my hand 1 deemed him somebody, so I acted from the promptings of the heart, but now I will be ruled by my better judgment.' " Well, please yourself in that matter, my dear I'm disposed to think honorably of but la, mo ! if he isn't at the door now !" ' Irh- jrvatsSTysni!ld firnr fptaTJrh our oero ejniereu, ami win a Dean over flowing with gratitude and love, sprang for ward to greet the object of his idolatry; but imagine nis surprise and dismay wben be received onlv in return a cold, distant cour tesy, which froze his blood and rocted him i to the spot. Bewildered and astonished at such greeting lroin his fair betrothed, he j turned for explanation to the mother, who I perceiving the general embarrassment, steppf d lorward, ana ottering him a seat, j explained to him that. since, her daughter's '. Mtnrn frrwn fli Slirtnrra ch I j . 1 ofiA ma- ! ture - reflection and examining her heart, thought it best to dissolve the engagement that had beeti made between them. .ina iiercin is my otience. nave i merited this? good heavens! and is this the irentle, the tender, the confiding Iv.nma White?" - " Sir, this is not the stage of. a theatre, to enact scenes," now spake up the daughter, " let it suffice to know we are ever to be strangers to each other. Vou attempted to deceive me and pass yourself oil' for a gentleman,- when it turns out you are one of the working class, only a printer, a portion less journeyman, a fortune seeker. If you had an honorable profession, sir, and was of a good family, as 1 once fondly thought, we could be united, but as it is. I cannot and will not descend so low ! 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. fc . Overwhelmed w ith dismay and stung to the quick, the young man sat paralyzed many moments, but recovering somewhat of the shock, rose and staggered out of tlie room. - Alas ! how crushed were his hopes now. Deceived, slighte I, wronged, confidence be trayed, by one whom he adored and loved, alas! -too vell, arid lor being a "low. bred, base mechanic ? ' . .And rushing madly to the inn, he sought his room and threw him- -self desperately on iiis humble . cot, from which dii not rise lor two long, weary months; for the unwonted disappointment and excitement of the morning had brought on a burnintr fever. From morn till nicht. the patient raved a wild maniac, calling and j conjuring his linmn to come back to him, and-with his impalienceand querulousness, wearteddi alMMit him save oue. The. phy sician despaired of, restoring him, and re signed him to the care of the gentle Augus ta, who watched at his bedside night and day with unremitting assiduity, bore with his imbecility, administered to his wants with kindness and soothed his' irritable spirits by the gentlest words and treatment. Finally after the lapse of several weeks, he began slowly to recover, and reason re turned once more. , When having entirely recovered, he thanked the kind hostess and daughter with tearful eyes and heart over flowing with gratitude for their kindness in watching over him in his weaknessjand in firmities, "lie Called Augusyt his preserver, his guardian angel, and told her he owed to her his life, and that be would ever hold her I iu grateful remembrance, and though he was inert about to depart ana would noi see her ngaitr for years, yet when fort-nno " smiled upon him fegnin, she should henr 1 from him.
