haJ the pleasure of spending a few days

and while there beard the following cor ver

my host: J .
La ! me, what impertinence V exclaim
ed Lizzie K., as she scanned a beautiful
colored note handed by a servant.
, What occasions your surprise, my
dear?" inquired ber mother.

And w hy should you not, my dear T "

for the daughter of Judge K-, one of the
wealthiest and most distinguished men of

kwwld enjoy myself in converse with such
people, w boe only talk would tie about tbe
tUx-ks, the market, and their own private
concerns? 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

ture, but one With two much is haughty,
niggardly, and srltih; boih the extremes
are contemptible and mean. - Aie then nei
ther too fashionably dressed nor ic-o sloven
ly, too devout nor too worldly. 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

In a magnificent pnrlor of the mansion

"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

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,

" Sir, this is not the stage of. a theatre, to

somewhat by one judicious act in Appoint
