"With few wants and fewer -cares, that one from the country, with the roses in her cheeks, with sunlight dancing in her eves, tastes the sweet est sweets of life, and enjoys them They pall not on her tongue; daisies and sweet-smelling flowers are strewn among her days, and she gathers joy and gladness from them. For it is always in the country, and from the country, '. that simplicity is said to live and spring. I myself have grown to believe that in crowded cities, where! we knock each other down as we hurry along, where we push and squeeze with merciless dis regard of our neighbor's ribs, there is no room for simplicity, and that only in the country does it find a dwelling- ilace. ' . How often have we heard that God made the country, and man the town ! In plays, the country maiden is brought to the fevered i city, and the sweet, modest primrose is invariably transformed into the gaudy, flaunting rsunflower. Before you were thought of, this view of simplicity was preached and believed in. Being in a variable mood, I should begin to waver in my belief if I were to ask myself if this view is true; for the subject is many sided, and presents different aspects from different points of view. In this age of selfishly influenced action, the mental faculty is put to base uses, prostrated, degraded, as it were.- I belong to such and such an order, enwoven, so tcmuie m iC'"a' was rising steadily in her profession, . -i i ions, so overwhelmingly shocking, and reaUv bade fair to make her marki that all my admiration was turnea to , construction be placed upon her lorror.

The stage manager said he thought she would develop into a good actress. It was sufficient for Frederick Chappell that she was young and pretty, and he paid court to her. His : attentions were at first received with politeness, and even with gratitude, as it seemed to him, but when he became bolder in his words, he met with a check which hurt his pride. As is the way of men under such circumstances, her indif ference wanned Ins passion, and he became more ardent toward her. But he never advanced a step in her affec tions. He offered her presents; she refused them. He threw- flowers to her upon the stage, and she allowed them to lie at her feet. When they were brought to her to the side-scenes, she received them with coldness, and invariably left them in the theatre. He made various attempts to discover where she lived, and every attempt was repulsed. He thought of her more than he would have cared to ow n. for nothing but mortification had re sulted from his pursuit of her. There was no doubt, that he was wildly enamored of her; he committed many extravagances in his mad infatu ation, and without any idea that he wi iloTjirtm his nliiBuooir-DT so- doing (so lax were his morals), he wrote her a letter which made her tremble with shame. It was returned to him torn to pieces,, and without a word in reply. For most men these continued de feats would have been sufficient, and thev might have been sufficient for Frederick Chappell but for one singu lar feature. In the midst of all her abhorrence of him, she yet forced her self to b-j civil to him. and evinced distinct desire not to anger him too deeply. She appeared, indeed, to be in some way afraid of him, and never betrayed her feelings toward him to any of her professional acciuaintances. He took pains to make himselt ac quainted with this strange feature in their intercourse, and as the cogita tions of such like young gentlemen are invariably flattering to themselves, he construed her behavior in a way which would have dismayed her had she sus YiP.l: ted it. During all this time she 1 - - C IT T , t - . - sopiiea into the theatre, with an ex Psipn of cfiii satisfaction, o his iace-as of one who came to receit hbQiage and looks; and perhaps words, of rregard w hich had hitherto-been held from him the jewel-case and tlie letter were returned to linn. : The let ter-had not been.

AVithin a few days of this rejection he le'ard that she was aboutj to leave the theatre. According to the way in which he argued out the matter with himself, it became almost a point of honor with im not to reliiKiuish his pursuit oi the girl who had so infatuated him; passion was now stronger than 1 "11 - 1 ' AM' 1 ever: sue grew uanv more oeauimu and more graceful in his eves, and hr was ready to commit any extravagance for her. He was certain, if he ouM obtain an interview with her, that she would at least listen to him; and lie trusted to his good looks, his position in society, and liis money, to do the rest. Excited into this Deuel, lie com mitted the indiscretion of sending her a note by Trail, in handwriting slight lv' disguised, asking her to call at the bank, on a matter of importance, at a time when he was aware that his f.vtl-pr would be absent. He hadM scarcely an idea as to what he should say to her; he acted on the impulse of passion, without looking to the end; he wished to see her, and speak with her privately that was all. This was precisely the position of affairs when Trail opened the door, and whispered to Frederick Chappell: "The young lady, sir -Miss Laura." BE COIN iLSUKD. j It turned out just as we exjected we mean the late Conference at Dur ham. Durham was herself in every sense of the word. Able to entertain a Conference ? ' If it had been twice as large as it was, Durham would have done it It was said that the "reason Gen. Taylor won the battle of Beuna V ista was that he did not know when he was whipped.

Perhaps, however, it will be more correct to s?,y that he never gave this phase of the matter a thought She was an actress; that was enough for him, and he arrived at his own con clusions from that simple circumstance.

This appeared to cause her infinite content, and although dur ing this week he went nearly. every behind the ' scenes, and flirted Pi in the shap think I evolvement And now, my end, 1 can proce planation of the state o: juncture. As a man of fashion, and one pos sessed of means and a good standing in society, Frederick Chappell w'as everywhere welcomed. Being a young gentleman of liberal ideas, he was not with others to arouse her jealousy, she very-particular as to the society m never once spoke to him, never once which he mixed; and one j hour he looked toward him. She could not would shake hands with a lord, and more effectually have fed his passion. rl10 nevt lie hail-fellow-well-met to Everv comparison he made between night persons of very doubtful reputation. He was known on every race-course of England, and all the bookmakers were ready and eager to lay him the odiSs. Among his acquaintances he numbered two or three theatrical managers and lessees, and he gained admission to certain green-rooms, and behind the scenes of certain theatres, where, as he spent his money freely, he was a favorite. Here he picked up an author or two, whose vanity he tickled by obtaining cards for them on rare occasions to his ambitious moth er's assemblies, who, as has been stated, was fond of patronizing celebrities. her and other young ladies of his ac quaintance was in her favor; she was well educated, and a lady in her man ners, although it was no secret that she had adopted the stage purely for the sake of money. He resumed his old tactics, and was received with even greater coldness. "I do not bid high enough," he thought ; and in the ardor of his pursuit, he bought her a very costly present nothing less than brooch and ear-rings of diamonds. In this, offering on the altar of his passion he sacrificed a hundred 'guineas. He wrote a sentimental let ter, and left that and the case contain ing the jewels with the door-keeper, A young lady who was the rccipien ,J oTtroitimi from two voung men equally eligible, in point of good looks social position and financial solidity and entertaining similar feelings 'c friendship for both, was in a quandary as to which to choose, should the propose. A friend to whom she con tided her difficulty suggested that sue )ut both to some test to prove the strength of their allection. Mie tooK the advice, and to the first who avowed lis affections said: . ."You tell me that vou j love me. How do I know that you arte sincere t What would you do . to show your love ?" Anvthing," replied the ardent lover, who had a spice of romance m nis disposition, "anything; I would go to a the world's end for you; 1 would en dure any suffering for you; I would die for you if necessary." Such ardent protestations brought the blushes to her cheeks and a thrill of happiness to her heart as she thought that certainly no one could love her 'more fondly than he did. She asked, however, for a little delay before giving, him an answer to his C 1 J suit. Meantime the other proposed and she questioned him in like manner to the first. "Well," said he, "I'll tell you what would do to show my love for you. n 1 ' 1 f vou marrv me vou shail nave good - i ... . clothes to wear. I will see tnat you are always the owner of a handsome seal skin sacqup and that your hats or bonnets are always in fashion, and I will be a faithful, loving husband to you." "But wouldn't vou go to the world s end for me, or die for me, or any oi that sort of thing, you know?" she asked, as she toyed with his coat buttons. "I don't want to go to the world's end," he replied; "I've got a nice, good paving business in Boston, and as for dving for you, I'd rather live with you." "Well," said she, as visions of seal skin sacque, fashionable bonnets, etc., flashed before her mind, "I guess you can speak to pa." The practical wooer is the man for the times. . i gim can get up as as any man we ever saw try. AVe do not propose to write about those great tobacco warehouses and manufactories, and thosu Unearthly steam whistles, which, it is said, alarm the people in the neighboring States; nor do we propose to take up our time discussing those overburdened tables, which showed almost no sign of shrink age when we left; we want to mention a peculiarity of another kind which impressed us everywhere New towns are generally crude and coarse more or less -wanting in cul ture, manners and taste. On the other land Durham is remarkable for ib ulture. manners and taste, inere is an air of refinement about every resi dence which impresses you that you 1 1 T " are not among a people oi sortuc groveling I.u'.i:.-, mre liiammon-wor shippers, who love and admire ant desire nothing except what can be - kj -a- transmuted into rold.

And first and foremost in thought and purpose is the church with its appointed means of moral and spiritual improvement. It would k' luu-d to find, at least in North Caro lina, a town so young as Durham, which has expended so much in church building, and to such purpose. The new Methodist church, in which the Conference held its sessions, is a model of neatness and taste indeed we ought to have said elegance. - Such a people are bound to prosper, and we love to see them increase in riches and influence. The Methodist preacher ought not to desire anything better in the way of an appointment than to have his lot cast at Durham for four years. Even m that spacious building w e noticed that the Conference room was vptv much crowded, many who ought to have been concerned did not, know half the time, what was going on Everything was hurried and pusli'ed Many matters of importance received little or no attention not that any body was to blame for neglecting any thing, but just because.it could not be otherwise. ; The question of dividing the Con ference was mentioned, but not con sidered. There was no time to give it consideration. Of course those 'who desired that it should have considera tion are expected to be content and quiet about it, for there was no time to consider it. Necessity knows no law, no matter whom it pinches. I or our own part, we are more in favor of division than ever, because we see and feel more and 'more the need of it. AVe believe that the intererts of Meth odism in North Carolina demand a division, and for that reason, sand that alone, we are in favor of it. AA'hile w e continue so to believe we shall agitate and advocate the measure. It may not be the most popular thing, but we conceive it to be the right thing, and that settles the question with us.
