TER v " In a email cottage at Richmond, com manding a delightful view of the Thames, lived Madame La Roche and her only child, Adeline. ' 5tf At an early age the patents of Madame La Roche had . taken her from her native country (England) to France, in order that her education might.be completed. Here a certain Monsieur La Roche, a man much ohier but also much richer than herself, had solicited her hand. In obedience to the commandments of her parent! , and in apite of her strongly expressed aversion, the match was concluded, and the elderly hus band and the young wife took up their abode in Paris Three years afterwards. Mon sieur La Roche died leaving one h'dd, a daughter. - Since that event, Madame La Roche had resided in Switzerland first, and subsequently in 'Germany. At length, tired of the Continent, she returned to England, where she had now lived two years, and when- she fi mly intended to spend the re mainder of her aays. As woman is placed in our present social system, perhaps the most independent and life-enjoying of the sex is a young and At tractive widow. Madame La Roche was both youngand attractive- and sensible, too, or she would have been envious of her sweet daughter, Adeline. As it was, she treated her with the warmth of a mother and the confidence of her elder sister. On a certain -summer day, Adeline La Roche was seated in a room opening on a lawn which sloped to the river. By her side, and close by her side, was a man, youthful and handsome. He held one of her hands clasped in his, and was looking with a most impassioned air into her fa' e. II r eyes were cast down, and the slightest suspicion of a blush was upon her ch-elc The Mush would have been deeper, but it was a situation she was somewhat used to. Tlicy loved each .other. - . - - 'And -y" fear - George, that-mamms Would never consent?" stid Adeline contin uing a colloquy that had been proceeding, . Heaven knows how long --for in such cas es, it is said hoursare like minutes. 'I fear it much,." said George Trevor. "What pretensions have If A man of wealth and consideration like Mr. Crofton may hope but lean hq--- -Kinir." "Ha.! ha I you are jealous," said Ade line, looking up and smiling archly. ""Do you distrust me, then!'' "No, dear Adeline, indeed," replied Ueorge. "l believe that your heart is mine. and mine only; but say if I have not cause r . . . L . II . i-, r.

Even since we first met Mr Crofion at that horrid ball, he has been eternally at the house. He mutt perceive how coolly I receive him." c "And how does Madame La Roche re ceive him!" said Trevor, "Ah, too well!" replied Adeline. "I of ten see them sitting together in a corner talking in a low tone, and every now and then looking towards me, as if I were the subject of conversation. He is trying to gain 'mamma over to his interest, I know. It will be of no use, if he does. I would Sooner die than marry him!" "So having experienced the misery of a forced match herself, she would doom you to the same fate?" said George Trevor, with vehemence. "I hardly know what to think," said Ad eline, gently. When I remember how f ,ftfclionaicly she always treats mey--it seems impossible, but when I see her encourage 10 evidently the visits of Mr. Crofton, lam compelled to dread every thing." '.". ''Wemay be mistaken, after all, Adeline," said Trovor. "These visits are probably blended for for Madame La Roche. Re- rncmber. Mademoiselle, you are not the on-l lyyoung and pretty 'inhabitant Of V me Col lage. : "Oh, I am sure that is not the case." said Adeline.

"You will reject him, then, dear Ade line! said J revor, anxiously. - "Can you ask me?'' exclaimed Adeline, t will never bestow my hand where I can- Hot bestow my heart.

' "My dear child," continued Madame La Roche, you are now ot an age. when you should begin to think ot being settled in life. Nature has given you beauty and talents) I have, to the utmost of my ability, given you a good education, and I may say, without flattery, that you are capable or making any man happy. Why then, remain single, if you meet with one for whom you can feel an affection?" Adeline offered no observation, and Ma damo La Roche continued; "There is a gentleman, who, I am cer tain, loves you. I have seen enough of him to be as certain that he deserves your love in return, and it will give me pleasure if you tell me he possesses it Mr dear mamma," said Adeline, withfscreens it from the world firmness, '-it is better to be candid at once. I know whom you mean, and all you are I do not him and I receives him with a true and faithful heart true to Hie best and kindest impulses of which her nature is capable; and sacred to the faithful trust committed to her care. And that it is so, how. many a home can witness how many a fireside welcome how many a happy meeting after absence painfully prolonged! Yes, there are scenes within the sacred precincts of the household hearth, which not the less because no stran ger's eye beholds them, repay, and richly too, dark days of weary conflict, and long nights of anxious care, tiut who shall paint iliem? Are they riot graven on the hearts of wives? and those who hold the picture there, in all its beauty; vividness ahd truth, would scarcely w ish to draw aside the veil, which Mis. Ellis. going to, say; but it is in vain love him 1 never shall love cannot marry him." "Adeline, Adeline!" cried her mother, laughing, "you are too quick by far for me. Do you not love and can you not mairy George Trevor?" "George Trevor!" exclaimed Adeline, her breatii nearly taken away in astonish ment. "Aye, George Trevor!" said her mother. "So you blush now, and I was not mistaken, I find, in supposing that you loved each oth er. I am glad of it, dear child, and give my most willing consent to your union." "I feared you would not lis'en to him, or (would have confided in you," said Ade line, half laughing and half- eiying at this sudden and unexpected realization of hopes she scarcely dared to entertain. "Not listen to him! und that merely be cause he happens to bo poOi!' exclaimed Madame La Roche. Ah, my Adeline ! it is love, not wealth, thai should be consider ed; and- if Georfee Trevor be poor are we riot rich enough? Bui," exclaimed she, hol ding down her head and speaking faltering Iv.

"You? you mairy again! exclaimed Ade line. "And have you been so blind as to sus pect "nothing?" said "Madame "La " Roche; raising her head and smiling. "I will con ceal it from you no longer." You know that im married in France at a very early age; but you 3o not know VfrA"rr"re that'l had given my heart in England to a youth whose only fault was poverty. My parents had forbidden him the house, and on hearing of my engagement on the Continent, he went out in despair to India. Some two months ago, you remember, we were at a large ball. How can I describe to vou my sensations when I saw there the man whom 1 had lov ed in my early youth whom I still love! I recognised him even before 1 beard his name. "And that name was Crofton," said Ad eline, much affected. " vlt wasl replied Madame La Roche He had remained single, though he had grown fieh enough to bur, jf he had willed it, so.tie poor girl as I myself had been bought. Adeline, he has ptevailed on me to change my. resolution of never marrying again. Do you wish me joy?" I he mother and daughter fell into each othei's arms, and mingled their tears; but assuredly they were not tears of sorrow. Un the same morning the two weddings were celebrated; and opinions were divided whether the matronly or the youthful bride looked the more charming. . THE WIFE - And after all, what is it that man seeks in the companionship of a woman? An in fluence like the gentle dew, and the cheering tight, moie felt throughout the whole of his existence, in its softening-, healing, harmo nising power, than acknowledged by any single act or recognised by any certain rule. It is in Uct being to come home to, in the happiest sense of that expression; Poetic lays of ancient times were wont to tell how the holy warrior, returning from the fight would doff his plumed helmet,- and re posing from his toils, lay bare his weaiy limbs that woman's hand - might pour into their wounds the healing balm, - But never wearied knight, nor warrior covered with the dust of the battle field, w-as more in need of woman's soothing power than are those careworn sons of toil, who struggled for the bread of life, in our more peaceful and en lightened days. And still, though the ro mance of the castle, the hamlet, the waving plume, and, the A CRIME AND IIS CONSE QUENCE. . Some weeks ago there was stolen from a Steamboat iu N. York, just after her arrival from Albany, a trunk in chaigeof Pomcroy's Express, containing between forty and fifty thousand dollars in gold and bank bills, be longing to sundry . person, besides about one hundred and forty thousand dollars in bills signed, in blank by the Comptroller of the State, belonging to a banking institution. For a long time no trace of the trunk or' its contents was discoveied, several individuals having meanline been arrested on suspicion. Last week a bank bill known to be in the trunk when the robbery took place was put in circulation in New York city, and was traced back -to a German named Lacknor, and in his pessession the trunk and contents were found. He was arrested, together with" his wife, to whom he was married a week previous, and both sent to prison. A few hours after entering his cell, Lacknor committed suicide by hanging himself with a handkerchief, tying it to his bunk,. which was put up endwise for the purpose. His wife was immediately .discharged from cu- todr, as it tfidTnot appear tTiat she knew any thing of the robbery. TtU. Chron are really indispensible, to being beloved, and may be possessed by every one who is not personally, or mentally,or morally de formed. Let na enumerate them. First-an eye, whether black, blue or gray that has the spirit of kindness in its ex pression. Secondly a mouth that is able to sar a good deal, and that sincerely,; Its teeth kept as clean as possible; must be very good natured to servants, and friends that cbme unexpectedly to dinner. Thirdlyi-a fignre that shall preserve it self, not by neglecting any of its duties, but by good taste, exercise, and a dislike of gross living. Fourthly the art of being happr at home, and making that home the abode of peace, Where can peace dwell if there be no piety? - These qualities will sway the snul of man when the shallower pej factions numerated in this arttcle, shall cease to charm. .

It is not the least of these privileges, that she can still be all to man which his necessities re quire; that he can retire from the tomult of the World, and seek her society with a xest which nothing eau impair, so long she A TALKING MACHINE. The Nea York American Gives the fol- fowine account of a talking machine which is in that city: Machines vi.nsvs Men Congrts Su perseded. It is even so we have seen we -have heard a machine talk!

The tone alone was natural, but the syllables anil words entire ly so, and there beside it sat Jts ingenious and )atient German inventor, Mr. Faber, playing as on a piano on the sixteen keys no more which cause the utterance of all language. For fourteen years this unwearying me chaniciiu has labored at this invention. The letter E was that of which he found it most difficult to give the sound. He devo ted to the accomplishment of that one sound, seven years! and he has "accomplished it. By long continued anatomical investigations he first mastered all the physical minttlia of the organs of speech, and then, mainly out of India rubber prepared so as to res ist tite changes of temperature he imitated all these organs; and by spungs moves the parts as they are moved in lite. Happier than the J itan he has not provo ked the anger of the Gods, by enduing this material creation ot his hands with the eth ereal spark; but so far as talking is charact eristic" of man, he has made a man. And to go back to Cofigreuand its danger from. this Kivention, it will be obvious to any one. examining this model and it will, we Un derstand, anon be exhibited that a State has nothing to do, henceforth, but to buy a number of these fellows of wood and India rubber fihs")atter material has long been in nse for the consciences of public men) equal to that of their representation on the floor send them down by mail to Washing ton, with an organist under legislative irt, 4trucliont te very case Iot the applica tion of this theory of representation! and he, connecting the 15 from Virginia, or the 34 from New York, to one set of keys. could always give a onrfhimous sxpreasion to the opinion of the Old Dominion, or the Empire State.

This valuable habit seems to prevail down East more generally than it does South; and among public men the benefits are very ap parent. It is known that Mr. Adams is an early riser; and to this fact he attributes the ppwer of accomplishing so much in the course ol twenty-lour houis. Mr. vv co ster is said to be alto a very early riser, and to have accomplished his day's work by ten o'clock in the . morning. It is very de niable for business 'men, and in public life.. to retire early and rise early. ; I he head is then clear and unclouded, the imagination f'eh and vigorous; and to this habit we may attribute much of the athletic old age we cm- cern in li'erary men. True Sun. MAGNANIMOUS ACT. The following incident is related by the Boston Post as having taken place at Point au Petre during the late Earthquake. A gentleman was rescued from death by the heroic efforts of a slave.

A WEDDING SCENE. Squire Perkins foreroom glowed with the the light of a ronnd dozen of mould candles, and a hard wood fire. The old folks were seated on one side of the loom the young and the middle aged on the other All Was solemn as the grave. It resembled more the preparation of a funeral than a wedding. The parson entered, ami rocked himself in the antique arm-chair in awful majesty. All was hush ag death! ''The parties to be u nited in the holy bonds of wedlock, will' please Stand forth' said the holy man in a deep, sepulchral and commanding voice. Isaiah Jenkins, an honest reeman, led Bet sey Perkins into the middle of the room. He took her fair fingers in his hard, but honest fist; her lips quivered a sudden pale usurped her cheek. "Isaiah Jenkins," said the good man, "will yon take this damsel to be thy lawful wedded wife love, cherish, and protect her?" Isaiah wiped the big Crops l perspiration- Irom ft is sun-burn t brow with his bandanna, and replied, in a rumbling voice, "Wal, now, Irayther guess I will." .1 . ... . . " " A LOVE AFFAIR.

The lady gave her consent to the union, but the lath er said nay, and . the pair started off in a carriage, pnvatelv, to Mylavetle, to get "spliced." On the road they met the Iadys brother, who attempted to stop them, but was pitched into the mud by the driver. The next obstacle with which they came in collision was not so eaf ily got over, being a heavy dray and they were pitched into the mnd. As one of the horses was killed, the carriage smashed, and the Jehu 'kocked into a cocked hat," the (overs had to take to their personal powers of progrersion, and they trudged back to New Orleans through mud and rain, in the hope of finding an up liver steamboat to bear them to bli-s.

Liberality to the earth in manuring and. culture is the fountain of its bounty to us. Liberality . to laborers and working animals is the fountain ot their profit. Liberality to the domestic brutes is, , the fountain of manure. The good work of a strong team causes a product beyond the hard, work or a weait one, alter denuding the additional expense of feeding it; and it saves moreover half the labor of the driver, sunk in following a bad 6ne . Liberality in warm houses, produces health', strengh and comfort; preserves the lives ofa "multitude of domestic animals) causes all animals to thrire on less food; and secures from damage all kinds of crops. And liberality in the uten sils of husbandry, saves labor to a rast ex tent, by providing the proper tools for doing' the worR ootn wen ana expeditiously. roresignt is another jtera in the econo- my of agriculture. It consists in preparing work for all weather, and doing work in proper weather, and at proper times. ' The ' climate of the United States makes the first e"a'sy, and thVsecond less' difficult than in most countriet,ltuinous violations of this important rule are yet frequent from temper and impatience- Nothing is moie common than a persistence' in ploughing, making hay cutting wheat, and -Other- works, when a ' small delay might have escaped a 'great loss, and the labor employed to destroy, would have been employed to' save.'
