The Hudson is ju&tly celebrated for its fine views, and painters have de voted years of labor to transfer to can vass some of its., glowing beauty. Though I well remember many ,happy hours spent in contemplating oh their never ending variety, thoso most charm ig and gorgeous of Nature's pano rama ; yet, one lives in my memory brighter than all tho vest, and cornea. before- the mind's eye gyen now $' all its original vividness. "Iwas an hour when nature seemed to have awakened fresh, and beautiful, af an infant refreshed from sleep, and smiling in consciousness of her own loveliness, while the grand old King of day was just bcg'nning to press his urst kiss upon her tace. A stranger tu tbe.sQ scones : I was drinking in the cup of bliss. While my eye was thus ravished wi.h beauty, "y ear caught the melody of sweet sounds ; raising ny eyes from lower to loftier views, they became riyated on something brighter an,d fairer, tftari, MI these, A face p.f exquisite lovelvr ness., Can I describe t? Eyes of Heaven's own blue, hair. wIicjbb gojdep lustre scorned the brightest raj of the. bun, and lips around which larked the nost bewitching smiles, the graceful symetry of whQ3& form a Madonna, might envy. ihus in a reclining poure. was ths bright picture. At her. feet , flowed the blue waters of the IIudson niir- roring on its plaoid surface, tie sVay, in? williiv.fi nn ?f Knnlr Virr-rrt roof oil on the opposito bank, where was pleasing variety of hill ad dale, which seemed intended to draw the mind from Nature up toNature'a Qod.V Her reverie is broken, she is startled. by the report of a rifle, and almost im mediately there appoars a poster, and with him his master, a man w.hcvio eve ry movement is characterized by gra.ee, and refinement, his hunting cp-tu.m.e. of black velvet showing to advantage his splendid form, a velvet oap around bich clustered curls of the darkest lue, beneath the brim of which was Mio of tho noblest brows, with eyes jas dark as night, and from whose depths shone a soul of honor and intellect unsurpassed.- "VOL. All these combined, adorned a face of manly beaaiy, Ilad he seen the fair girl on tbe apposite bant ? Yes, and his gaze became fixed on this pic ture of rare loveliaes. He saw the start, and then the sudden fear witli which she recoiled from: his gaze and then as qtticlc as thought she wis goneJ uut with her flight did his thought of her vanUh? He soliloquises. Was a creature ever more beautiful? Sure ly this is the grandest work of God's hand I have spent years of travel in Europe, visiied every place of inter est, and fashionable resort, seen tho fairest of -many nations have been ready to kneel at the feet of many women, but never has one of them touched the tenderest chords of my heart, but tuis rustic country maiden on the banks of the Hudson, the light of whose countenance has brightened ray life for only five minutes. I must see her afram. but Tasso ! Are you not ashamed of your raasters infatuation for this simple country girl? Let us be going or the heat of the sun will become oppressive before we reach the village." And throwing his game bag which he had removed while resting, to his Shoulder, he proceeded on hia way to think and dream only of the mornings'1 fair vis ion, we will return to thegirLDid she go to her home as sojasshe had es caped fromhjssight? No, the admi rationioTand wonder at this man was o great, and instead of retreating ab togethr from the scene, she concealed herself behind a massive tree, from which place she could see and admire unperceived by h'm ; and aftei he left, a sigh escaped her, but she felt that she would see him again. She p'o? ceeded homoward, and in a short time was there to find that mother and fath er, bad breakfastod without her. She excused horself for her tardiness, and all was right again, ; It must be! known that Sadie Gros venor was the daughter of poor parents. People who had at oie time revelled in the luxuries of life, when John Grog- vonor was a rioh man, but reverses of fortune came, indwhen Sadie was only five years of age, this home of ease and luxury in the cjty was exchanged fuv the little cottage, where we find them now. lier mother being a woman of great talent, she had imparted to her child much qf culture, and refinement. Her father vas aa henest farmer. And beyond the village pleasures Sadie never had any of the real enjoyments of life. To-day she felt more IrAAnlv than ever befora, that - j something was missing in her, young life but she must quiet these thoughts, and fca fc&f own happy self again. A new happiness came tq Sadie that dajr, by the evenings' post. A letter from her uncle, Mr. Kalph Grosvenor, who, had proven himself impenetrable to woman's charais, and was now liv ing alone in his magnificent residence on Fifth Avenue, This imcle. in his visits to his brother had formed a strong attachment for the little girl, as he had seen her developing into a woman of that purity, and ecellonoe of charac ter wh&h he so mvah admired, and hid determined, u ere this to snaka. hex hia heiress." Now he had written insisting that Sadie should spend this her sev enteenth year with him, and attend a, fashionable school in the city, acquir ing that grace, style and those oin,r cha.rms tfhich weje requisite to a lady ir Society, Tho letter was read with interest by Saie ; but father and mother wore a frown,. Cpuld they refuse this kind- cess, ofj ?alph' ? They were grateful, buj in showing their gratitude, saust they giye up their child For they knc,wat a second thought tba.t hejr hc.ie. vrpu n,ever be. hers aain,. 'Oh ! tUr Uiok of New Yk Gty.

We know Ralph tender love for her, and that he will cherish fcer as his own. We will let her go." j ma 'mm 1 hough the parting was a severe trial to the little circle, still tSadie was prepared, and in two Weeks from the receptwoof her Uncle's, ktter, she was on her way to the city," Happy was the meeting between this uncle and neice ; and while being conveyed to his home in his sp'endid carriage, the fu ture looked bright to Sadie. On arriving she was shown to her room furnished with taste and elegance. A fire burned in the grate, whose re flection on the rose colored furniture, gave the room a cheerful homelike appearance. She soon changed her traveling dress for some soft bright material, arranged a few of tho fallen curls, and was ready to meet her uncle in his Library, and was escorted by him to dinner. They were soon en joying themselves over the sumptuous repast. For one week Sadie was allowed to enjoyjtbeoperas and other amusements, 1-without restraint, she formed mny acquaintances, and friends in the fash ionable world in that short time. Then come the cmmencement of her school, when she told her unci she would shut out the bright vision before her, and that through which she had just passed and devote herself to her school duties, and those things which would fit her to partjpjpate more free ly n the future. She was a favorite with bflth pupils, and instructors ; and her progress in eyery study w&s. unequalled by tbe others, but particularly grati fying to her uncle, was her passion ate fqnduegs for music, and sho so far expele4 in that branch, that at their Friday eyening entertainments she was styled the Prima Ponna of the school IJfif career at school was almost ended, Purng her leisurehours she had many admirers, for she had grown more beau tiful each day, not only did face and feature attract, but her character ww 8.0 gentlej anf fyqr society so puri fying that many were ready to fQ laer. homage. j She treated all with CQurtei sy, but not one could gain the affec tions of her heart. The secret was hers, her thoughts and dreams were those which hftdQccupied her mind and heart for one l&ngyear. The hero of these dreams w.as none other than the dark-eyed stranger wehae introduced, Her school was near its close, excite? ment and disorder prevailed, for this entertainment for which they' were prepajju.g unlike those whcb bad pre ceded it, was tq be inade mcje' a.ttrc: tive by an interspersiqn of Tableaux, The last day arrived only a few hours before the eventful night. The last rehearsel is over, she has retired to her home to make herself charmin for the occasion.

Concluded next tceeJc Art la 3? r o-IXi storic Dimes. To Egypt no longer pertains the glory of having been the originator of the arts. It was with profound aston ishment that the world learned some years since that, longt long before the artists ol Egypt, the men of the age of the reindier bad cultivated design, et gravin, and even sculpture: At first their wcrks were greeted only with plaudits ot admiration ; but now re covered as we are from the first im pression, we are forced to admit that in those ancient days as in oar own, there were not wanting badlartista ; and yet, amid a numberof coarse designs, there arenotafew which are truly worthy of jioteTand which betray an able hand, and an eye trained to observe nature. -Designing undoubtedly prececlcd sculp ture amcng the troglodytes, and their figures in relief are much t.'wer in num ber and le a perfect than their engraved sketches. These latter figures gener ally form the ornamentation of the ba ton de commandment, or of the hafts of doggere , but sometimes they are found on stone slats, or on plates of ivory or ofreindetr horn, which would appear to have bten prepared simply to receiye the engraving?, Nearly all the designs represents objects in nature, though some ot them are simply ornamental linef, zigzags, curves etc, Three smaU banurainep, engraved on a peice of reindeer-horn, would appear to repre sent a polypetal flower j bat all the other figures represent animals. The reindeer occurs most "frequently, the ox and the aurochs beingtmore rare. These various animals are readily distinguish able in the engraved figures, their re spective gait and motion being often times reproduced with considerable exs actnevs an J elegance. Sometimes they ape isolated, be'ug npresen'ed without any order, o?er .'the -entire turhca of some instrument ; but, again, they are found grouped together, engaged in combat, etc. The engraving of the mammoth was found in 1S64 in the cave of La Madelaine The head of the ani mal is given ?ith remarkable exacti tude. The marquis de yibraje has since discovered a bton of commanr! ment, with a mammoth's head sculp tured on it. These two pieces are the only ones representing the mammoth, which hTe conqa down to our time from the hands of the troghxlytic ar tists, but they suffice to show that the animal was not yet extinct.

Anecdote of Webster, Daniel Webster was a firm believer in Divine revelation and a close student ol its sacred pages. On one occa&ion a small corapipy of relect friends epent an evening at his house. Tea ovtr, the B ble aud tie relative beauiiea of its several parts became the topic ot con versation. Each one of the guests had preference. When the turn came to YVebater, he said : The masterpiece of the New Tejlamen't. ot course, is the sermon on the mount ; that has no rival, no equal. As to the Old Testament writings, my favorite book is that of Habakkuk, and my favorite verses chapter iii ; 17-18 : 'Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vine; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat ; the flock shall be cut off, and there shall be no herd in the stall ; yet will I rejoice in the Lord and joy in the God of my salvation. ThhV con tinned Webster, "I regard as one ol the sublimest passages of inspired liter ature ; and of en have I wondered that some artist, equal to the task, has not selected the prophet and his sense of desolaiion as the subject t-f a painting, T h:n in, Paris, some years ago," continu;d Mr. Webs.er, 4I received sn account of a French infide, who hap pened to ilad in a drawer ot his library some leaves of an unknown velum", Although iu the constant. habit of de nounciug the Bib!., like most iuddel writer?, he had never read any part o i These fugitive leaves contained the above prayir of Habakkuk, Being a man of literary tastr, he was captivated with its poetic beauty, and hastened to the clul house to annonnce the dis covery to his associates. Of course, they were anxious to know the name of the gifted author, to which 'inquiries the elated infidel lephed A writer by the name of flabbakook, of course a Frenchman.- Judge ot "the infidel's surprise when informed that the pas sagu he was so enthusiastically admir ing was not produced by one.ot his own class of s -called freethinker?, but was penned by one of God's at cient prophets, and waa contained in that much des pised bock, the Bible,' Lutheran Observer.
