AVESTEKN. A Slight. Mistake. One cool afternoon in the early fall, I Chester F. Le Kpy, a gentleman stood on the platform of the tAlba-1 ny depot, watching the procession of, passengers jnst arrived in the Hudson River bout, who defiled past me on their way to the cars. The Boston train, by which I h.a(l come, waited patiently as steam and fire might, for their leisure, with only occasional and faint snorts of remonstrance of the de lay; yet still the jostling crowd hur ried past into the cars, " and 'flitted through in search of seats, their in creasing number at (last warned me that I might find it difficult to regain my own, and I followed them. 'I beg your pardon, sir.' 1 I turned, in obedience to a touch on my arm, and saw a respectable, look ing negro man before me, who bore the traveling bag and shawl, and was evidently the attendant of a slender and stylish girl behind him. 'Do I speak,' he said, bowing re spectfully, and glancing at the port manteau I carried, on which my sur name was "quite legible, 'do I address, sir, Mr. Le Roy V fThat is my name at your service what-can I do for you'- 'The young lady, Miss Florence Dundard, who was to join you at Al bany at six o'clock this., evening I have charge of her.' lie -turn oil to the young ladv behind liim. , 'this is Mr!' Lc Roy, Miss.' The young lady, whose dark blue eyes had been scanning me, as 1 could perceive, throTili her blue silk veil, now lifted it with an exquisitely glov- ed hand, and extended the other to mo, with a charming mixture of frank ness and timidity. 'I am very glad to meet you, Mr. Le Roy,' said she. I thought I should iviiow vou m a moment, Jenny describ ed )0u accurately. . How kind it was of you to oner to take charge ot, me. 1 hope 1 shan t trouble you. In tlie midst of my bewilderment, at thus being addressed hv the sweet est voice in the world, I managed to see that I must make a proper reply. and proceeded to stammer out what I thought an appropriate speech, when the servant, who had left us tor a mo ment, returned, and I abandoned ;t unfinished. : 'Did you sec mydbaggage, Edward V asked his iuistressr 'Yes, Miss; it is all on.' 'Then you had better hurry to reach the 7 o'clock boat. Good bye, I and tell them you saw me off.' : . "I stood like one'in. a dream, while the man handed me two checks for the trunks and indued me with the light basrgaire he' had carried ; but I was a- rouscd by the young lady's asking me if .we had not better secure our'seats iii the cars1 and answered by offering her my arm. In ten minutes Ave were seated sidd by side, and truddling out of Albany rat a rate that grew faster and faster I had no-time to reflect, with that lovely face opposite me," but what was the use. - Some strance .mistake; had undoubtedly"happened,and I had ev4tnty to -ltiake her comfortable, and idently been taken for another person of the same name ; but how to icmeny this now, without, alarming the inno cent young lady ;in my chargechow to find the rightman, with the right name among several hundred people, and how to transfer her, without an unpleasant scene an4 explanation, to the are of somo one whose person was no less strange to her than mine ! . AN hue these thoughts whirled through my head, I, happened to encounter those smiling jeyes fixed upon- me4 and their open, "unsuspicious gaze decided me.

J' : Well ?' said my fair questioner, re garding m.e with surprise, I thought she had not been well for a number of years? , 'I mean well for her, said I, in some trepidation; the air of St. Louis (which I have since learned is of a mistyrndisty order) has done her a world of good. She is quite a differ ent woman.' 'I am very glad,' said her niece. She remained silent . for a few mo ments, and then a gleam of amusement began to .dance in her bright eyes. 'To think,' sdie said, suddenly turn ing to me with a musical laugh, 'that in all this time you have not mention ed the baby.' ; : I hnoio I gave a. violent start and I think I turned pale. After I had run the gauntlet of all these questions triumphantly,- as I thought, this new dan ger stare'd me in the face. How was I ever to describe a baby, who had nev- er noticed one ? . My courage sank below zero, but m the same .propor tion the blood rose to my face, and I think my teeth fairly chattered in my head. 'Don't be afraid that I shall not sympathize in your raptures,' contin ued by tormentor, as I almost consid ered hqr, 'T am quite prepared to be lieve anything after Jenny's letter you should sce'how she cares for him.' Him! Blessed1 goodness, then it must be a boy ! ." 'Of course,' said 'v I, blushing and stammering, but feeling it imperative to say something, 'we consider him the finest fellow in the world; but' you might not agree with us, and in order to leave your judgement unbiased, I shall not describe him to you. All ! but I knew just how he looks, .for Jenny had no such scruples so lyou may spare yourself the trouble or t i i happiness, which ever it is but tell me what you mean to call him ?' 'We have not decided upon a name,' 'Indeed I.I'thought she intended to give him yours.' The deuce she did ! thought I. 'No, ope of a name is enough in a family,' B answered.

She was now quite familiar with me. in her innocent way, calling me 'cousin rrank, and seemed to take a certain pleasure m my society and protection; It was delightful to be greeted so glad- y by hei, when I entered the parlor, to have her come forward from the onely seat where she had been wait npc, not unobserved or unnoticed, to receive me to have hel- hang on my arm look up into my face tell me all her little adventures alone (how ohg it seemed to me,) while every word, look and smile,; seemed doubly dear to me, because I knew the preca rious tenure by which I held my right to them. She busied herself, too, while I Was gone out, with our joint baggage, and rummaging all over her trunks to find a box which I had ex pressed a desire to see. She mended my gloves, sewed the band on my trav elling cap, and found my segar case whenever I liad lost it, which was a- bout twentv times a day, while she scolded me for the carelessness which she declared almost equalled her own. Loupr age she had given over info my possession her elegant little port monise, 'with all the money in it, which she was sure she would loose, as she could never keep anything,' and as she irar! ordeitet! me to take out "What she wanted for her travelling expenscsV I opened it with trembling hands when I was alone, and examined the con tents.

In- Iced thu$ far 1 had not found-the way of the transgressor hard, in external circumstances at least, and when with her I forgot everything but her grace and beauty, and my hrm resolution to e no more to her than her cousin should be ;l but out of that charmed presence made me miserable. I am afraid I must sometimes have betrayed the conflicts of feeling I had had, by my manner ;, but when I was reserved and ceremonious with her, she always resented it, and begged me so bewitchmgly not to treat her so, and to call her by her sweet name 'riorence, that had I rtreamea as much as I longed to do, I could not have refused her. But the conscious ness that I was not what she, thought me, but an imposter, of whom, after, our connection had ceased, and she had discovered the deception practiced upon her, she could think or remem ber notmnsr that would not cause un- 3 jnerited self-reproach and mortifica tion, and innocent and trusting as she was, this reflection, more than any other, I confess,' and the knowledge q the estimation in which she would for ever hold me, after my imposition was discoveredagonized me, and I would have given all I possessed to own It to her and 1 leave her sight at once though the thought of never s her more was dreadful.

The' sight of her distress wasJ agony to meV and I tried to say a few words of apology. xou cannot blame or hate me, Miss Dundard, more than I blame or hate myself I said, 'for the distress I have unwillingly caused you. Heaven knows hat if I accepted the charge of so much innocence and beauty too light- 1 have heavily atoned since, in having occasioned this sunering to you, and my own punishment is more than I can bear. The coach stopped as I spoke ; she urned towards me eagerly, her face bearing traces of tears, and said in a ow voice, 'Do not misunderstand me f I was so silent.' The coachman threw open the door, and stood waiting. I was obliged to decend and assist her out. I hardly dared to touch that little hand, though it was the. last time, but 1 watched her graceful figure with sad distress She was already recognized, for the door was thrown open, and a pretty woman ollowed by a fine looking, black whis kered gentleman Avhom I supposed to be my name-sake, rushed down the teps. Ihere were loud exclamations of astonishment and pleasure; ,a cor- ual welcome, and some rapid ques tions to which Florence returned very ow and quiet answers, and quickly extricating herself from the confusion, presented me as 'Mr, Le Roy, your liishand's Jinmo-sjilrp. and-t. Via crpntlr man who kindly took charge ofme.' 1 glanced at her face to see if she was mocking me, but it was pale and grave. . Mrs. Le' Roy opened.her eyes widely, but was too well bred to ex press surprise,' and ' after introducing me to her husband in the same terms, invited me into the house. Hardly conscious what I did, or of anything except that I was still in the presence of hlorence, from which I could not endure to banish myself, I followed them into a handsome parlor, where sat an old lady whom my conscience told me was the rheumatic aunt I had so cruelly belied. Florence . herself presented me to this lady, who was a fixture, and unable to rise from her chair and before I could stammer out an apology and retire, related in her own way how different from mine,) the mistake by which she had been placed in my care and the history of our journey, in which it appeared our host, Mr. Le Roy, had been a fellow passenger. When she had ended," they all crowded about me, warmly express ing their thanks for my kindness and consideration, to my utter bewilder ment and surprise, and cordially in viting me to remain with them, and make the acquaintance of my name sake and family. I detached myself from all this un expected kindness as soon as I could, for I fancied I read aversion in the flushing and paling face, and drooping eyes of Florence, and with one last look at hers left the room. A moment after, and 1 felt the touch of a light hand on my arm, and turning, saw with mute surprise, that she had fol lowed me into the vestibule..

That party was a decided,, a brilliant success. -More thanfa bun- dred ladies and gjentlemen, belonging to the most respected families in tbej city were present all ot whom were, attired in part or ib wholfe, in! garments, made of Virginia fabrics, woven in; Virginia looms. It was strictly a Viv ginia cloth-partv. ; i As' a matter of course, xhe.. ladies 1 ' J . ' in their costumes. Many of thelatter 1 Avore but a single ' article of c!othing made of material produced and man ufactured in the State ; some, indeed had not so much as- a Virginia pocket namiKercmei , um iae lauies wimuu exception, were; dressed from top 14 toe in home-made apparel. And iy was wonderful tolsee how the plain homespun become them. We - werj particularly struct with thej effecfit gas light, and a little trimming, prq oznaburgs and flannel.. Only by thfe closest . inspection would the' eye hi? convinced that this rough j coarse stu-f , was, not the finest craperCashmere,! f a delicate cream color. Nor were t? blue, and the brown homespun plaifo less becoming to the fair wearers tha. the oznaburgs. Not an article of jet elry was to be seen anywhere, not ji artificial flower otf. ornament of art f kind. Even the-laces were made.i, home; of ordinary cotton. 1 - Doubtless, the light of patriotism' which beamed from the lovely faces vf the maids and matrons, helped 40 gi plain garments a comeliness not ii trinsically their own; but, be tbatr it may, we declare heartily that :f$ never attended a party where tlie la dies looked better;, or where, both se es seemed to enjoy themselves mohe heartily ami ;univiersally. JLt is trF that the gentle creatures wpuld hae looked more brilliant in, silk, satira, diamonds, and other fashionable go gaws, but we mustl distinguish between brilliancy ana true loveuness. vviH man never loots so well as when ere looks domestic. This homespun party ist the beg ning of the end. Other Virginia clot! parties will follow. The movement must go on. There is no helping When our mothers, our wive, otfr daughters, sisters and sweetheart, lead the way, who can refuse, to fal low ? If 'any onie trait is. strongi :r than the other in the female chaiV ter, it is that element of perse verahlie which will not permit them I to--abap;. don any .measure they have; underta ken. When once they put their wh'c little hands to the plough, they ncf-fir turn back. It is a gross mistake' suppose that homespun clothes jyUI ye. worn only as a famcy. costume at pi ties.
