" But I (bought Henry waited upon you to the party." , "So he did." . , " And he did not remain until the close uf the party?'' - - " Yes I believe so." A cloud came over Mrs. Burnet's face, and she seemed troubled. She gazed upon her daughter for some moments without speaking further. Louisa was nineteen years of age ; a bright-eyed, happy, merry making girl, possessing g true and luring heart; huts little inclined to be ,l,ougl,tless j KT moments ot social jov. Sho , . . i i, ,i i, " : . ,t, Was an on!y eh. d, and had been a pet lu the f.mmi'y 1 ..puUier Me was not oonhiied tu tho ear. e!e that tuct around her own hearthstone. - More than a year before she had promised Henry Southron that the would be his wife as soon as time and citcuiusUuecs rendered such a step proper. Henry was an orphan, and had just gone into business on his own account. lie was a young 'man 'of whoso friendship any scusible maiden might have been proud ; a generous, up right, steady, industrious youth; fixed firmly in his moral course, and uf u fair, manly personal appearance: " My child," said the mother, after reflecting awhile, " what have you been doing? Why did not Henry come home with you?" " Because he didn't choose to, I suppose," re plied Louisa. "That is not the reason," said Mrs. Burnet,' with assurance. I" Something that vou have donejios caused th is. ow tehme what it is. "You. are too anxious altogether, mother. Tliara nn ilnmMOP llnnn. I llstirO VOU." "Still, my child, 1 should like to know what you have been doing." 11 Well I'll toil you," returned Louisa, giv ing herself a rock in her chair : '" Henry is altogether too attentive. One Would tlillYKj "TO-scw mm ni a-pany, nisi x -was already his wile and about the only leiuale pres ent," " And you have become tired of so much at tention?" : "7 " Of course I have. . ., " And you have been throwing it off?" '"Yes. I took occasion this eveuing to show him that I didn't like quite so much overseeing. I trttlfe'd with 'everybody else and suffered Sir- ; Pini'rce to wait upon me down to supper. .. l'por Ileiiry looked us though he had lost his last I friend. It will give him a lesson I guoss; and in future I hope he will make littlo less love in I public" " - "My child," said Mrs. Burnet,. with much NOItTII CAROLINA ARGUS, , feeling, "you are trying a dangerous experiment. ! had been companions tor years, and one ot tne 1 The Hmo will come, if you ever marry with Hen- '' gentlemen snid that I must go with hfiiT tq-din-: ry Southron, when you will be proud of his in-'! ncr.

" Ask his pardon !" repeated the thoughtless girl, with arl expression cf aurprise. "Mercy on niel what are you" thinking of?. You shall see him at tny feet on his knees before the week i t, Ah, xoj dear one, you don't know so much ' bout the human heart ai you think yon do.

If yuu must triOo, trifle with atiy'hing rather than with a heart. We are going to Mr. Withrop'a to-morrow, and I hope I nmy induce Polly to tell you a little story of her experience it) lifo.". Louisa raid alio would be very glad to hear it ; then ahe tried to laugh; and then, having tuld her mother once more that ahe wai Deedlcs.ly anxious, she went to her chamber. On the following morning Mrs. Burnet met her daughter as usunl, mn!ing no nllusion to the circumstances of tho previous evening. In tho afternoon they walked out to rail at Mrs. Win throp'a, having had an urgent invitation to,iit ; " But I had pm.e too far to give up then ; and there. They rcumiiicd ut tea and sjetit the i nith a light. Iauj:h I turi.ed fioni him.. I went evening. , ( home owe vn I J went nnother. All the next I'olly, of whom Mrs. Burnet had spoken, was ! dr-y I looked for him, but hu did not tome. And Mr". Wintlirop's sister. She was a muiJen Inily, 'a third end a fjitrt'n. On the Sfth day I re past thrte-scoro, and had for many yeam f.und reived a letter from him.' It was from a distant a home with her brother. Iltr head was tmw silvered, oi.TI tune had drawn deep narks upon her brow, bit still there were marks of ttiitity Tcftu pou Lr. fiice. "Du riiVg'TIie" "e Ve TiTtvrih"n came and took a scut by the aidu of J,oiii:-u, and I after some cOaimon pluee remarks, the old lady ; said in a ouiot way " Tour motuer told me that you wou'd like to i hear a little of ny life history." " It you wosld please to tell it, I certainly should, for anything which you deem worthy of telling must be interesting," replied Louisa. "Then let Uf walk into the garden. The moon ia up, and the air is warm and pleasant " They went out, and when they had reached the grapery they went into tho arlor, and sat down, "There is no need that I should make aiiy preliminary remarki," commenced I'olly, "Tor 1 have come out on purpose to fell you a story, and I shall tell it to you as plainly and simply as possible, aud when 1 have done, you niay know wny your motuer wishes you Lliould hear it. 'It'lien I was of your age people called me handsome; but Hill with all my faults I do not think I ever was proud or vain. I knew that 1 was good looking, and I meant to be jwod. ' 1 tried to du right, as I understood it; and heu I faded it was fwiu alack of -judgment, and. Uiy story 1 have done so. If it can profit you, pronencss to be thoughtless where I should have . I shall mit regret the pain I have felt in the ro bed! directly tlia opposite. When I was ei'di- t'cital. That I have not ceased to suffer let these 7 1 ot a; i teen years ot age,, e Ashmun asked me if I 1 would be his wife.. He was a noble-hearted gen erous, upright uan, audi never experienced a I season of more blissful joy than when I' became thus assured that his heart best love was mine. I told him yes, and our vows were plighted.

Caviiit in His Own Tuap. Once, two niin-isU-rs of the Gospel were conversing en extern- poruneous-preaching. " Well," said the old divine, waxing warm, "you are ruining yourself by writing your ser mons nnd reading them off. - Y'our congregation cannot become interested in your preaching; and you were called upon to preach unexpectedly, unless you could get hold of an old sermon, you would be completely confused." The young divine used all his eloquence, but in vain, to couviiiqe the old gentleman that the writ- -ten sermon cxpresscd lii-'i own thoughts an;d!ecl- ings, and, if called upon, he could preach extem- porafieously. " As we arc of the same faith," said the young minister, " suppose you try me next Salbath the pulpit you tan hand ' me a text from any part of The Bible, utld 1 Will Convince -lll-tuu: l cu ineueu wioiuui uuviu looked at the text before I stood up."
