Conduct your business with intelligence and

Trifle not with serious matters, and be not
serious about trifles.
There is no deep or hidden mystery to be
studied or practised to carry on business suc
cessfully : on the contrary, all that any honest,

wants, requires, is fair judgment, close indus

hard to credit the stories that everybody
brings home who goes there. A tree six
teen feet in diameter, and having a trunk
of two hundred feet in length, beneath the
branches, is bf moderate size, j I am as
sured that the largest are thirty feet in
diameter. A friend of mine, Robert Lam

and his brother measured a tree near
Humboldt, passing round it with a tape
as high as they could reach, andjfound the
cirfcuit to exceed ninety feet! These
monsters are apt to be hollow, and it is
not uncommon to find them converted in

name commonly applied to thisjspecies of

WOMEN AND DANCING.
We know that we have published the
following atjast half a dozen times with
in as many years, but it looked so , fresh
and funny yesterday, as we were running
over our exchanges, that we thought we
would give it another send-off. It is al

yarn was spun by Leve, the author of
Charles O. MaMlery. The Bloomers may-
take a hint trom it, and partly on their ac
count we give the extract a place : N.

slight suffusion on her cheek, but it wa9 not
wounded pride that her question had been un
heeded. She leaned over the arm of the sola,
and tenderly laid her hand on his forehead :
' Is there much pain in your head, my love V
'Yes, deep, terrible. Emily you cannot re
lieve it.'
' Let me try my skill at Mesmerism,' said
she, and he playfully ran her fingers through
clusters .of his hair, and lifting the dark locks
lrorp his temple, pressed her rosy lips on the
swollen and throbbing veins. Her kiss was
so sf)fl and still that, bad a jealous lover been
watching beside her, he would not have heard
a sound. Real and pure affection is always
quiet and delicate in its attentions ; and no
man of refinement can long 'love a wife whose
demonstrations of attachment are obtrusive and
importunate.
Charles Carlton scarcely heard the kiss of
his wife, but he felt its thrill through every
pulse and nerve. It was the pledged affection
of a loving and true heart. His hand trem
bled, fell, and his eyes, as they me' hers, filled
with tears. Emily's heart sank within her, asthe
fear of some terrible calamity rushed upon her
mind ; but she strove to sustain herself, and
taking her husband's hand in both of hers, she
sat down by his side.
'Charles, dear Charles?' said she inquir
ingly.
Emily'
' My dear husband, what can I do for you ?'
Nothing,' said he, calmly.
'Nothing! Oh, do not say so! Let me
comfort you at least. Tell me tell me, what
has happened V
' I will tell you, Emily ; for you must know,
I am ruined !'
' Ruined! How? Why?'
'lama bankrupt, Emily. I have failed
lost all my property all !' and he again cover
ed his face.
'Well, my dear husband, if it be lost, let it
go. There are a thousand ways to live by in
dustry ; and I can do a good many thii.gs.'
' But Emily, you do not comprehend this at
all. 1 am a broken merchant. 1 shall not be
trusted with business. I owe. thousands that I
cannot pay. I have nothing left nothing left !'
' xes, my love, you have what you have of
ten called your dearest treasures your wife
and Henry. We will be treasures still.' And
she twined her arm around the neck of her hus
band, and tenderly drew his head upon her
shoulder.
' Bless you ! bless you, my own Emily my
wife ! you have comforted me !'

Friends.
' Ebbing men, indeed,
Most often do so near the bottom run
By their own fear.'
' Any news this morning, Mr. Halford ?' said
John Folsom to the gentleman who entered bis
counting-room. He was a tall, pale man, with
a commercial looking face ; that is, bilious and
rather care-worn ; but the keen glance of his
eye was tempered by a benevolent smile, and
when he raised his hat, the high, broad, smooth
forehead bore the unequivocal stamp of a warm
heart and a good conscience.
'The only news of the morning is that Carl
ton has failed,' said Mr. Halford.
' Yes, I knew that last evening,' replied John
Folsom.
'Is it a total failure ? Or will he be doing
business again in six months V
'Radical: a thorough failure. Given up all.'
' That is rather an unusual course, remarked
Halford. ' Most of our broken merchants con
trive to secure a share for themselves. You
a-re his friend : why did you not advise him bet
ter?' ' Your pardon, sir, I never advise my friends,
it only offends them. Throw physic to the
dogs as soon.'
' I heard that the failure, was caused by sign
in for Cogswell & Co. - Was that true V
' Partly so. Carlton lost about twenty thou
sand dollars hy that firm ;! but then he might
have got ovei his embarrassments entirely, if
had not been so very squeamish.'
' Squeamism ! How do you mean ?'
1 Why, he applied to Col. Dillis. to whom he
was owing a considerable debt, and told him
how matters stood, and the reason he had for
believing he might retrieve his affairs, if he
could'obtain a loan of ten thousand for a few
months; and he offered j Dillis good security
for the money ; but the old Colonel knows how
to manage. He would not loan the cash, un
less be could have his debt likewise provided
mer, and Autumn's rich sheafy crown ; but the
energy of Nature is only the breath of the Al
mighty, the Creator ; her beauty is but the re
flection of his benevolence ; and her bounty
the overflowing of his ever enduring love for
the creatures he hath made. Rely on him, and
thou wilt never be forsaken, never destitute,
never in despair.
' We will trust in God, my dear husband,'
said Mrs. Carlton, as she wiped the tears which
all unconsciously to herself, had, for minutes, j
been raining from her eyes on the fair forehead
of her babe, as he stood on her knee, looking
up with an earnest gaze at his mother. He
had never before seen her face in sorrow. It
seemed to astonish, almost terrify him. 'Dear
Henry,' she continued, clasping him to her bo.
som, ' how I wish you could speak ! You
should tel! papa that we will think of him and
love him everv hour he is gone. But you will
soon learn to talk. Charles, I shall have no
thing Io do but teach Henry and write to you ;
and Paris is not quite to the end of the world.'
Charles Carlton kept his station by the open
window. A stranger, who had only remarked
the rapid glance of his eye, as it wandered from
earth to heaven, might have fancied him a poet
in the ecstacies of inspiration. Alas ! his
musings were of a sterner quality than poet's
dreams. He fell the reality of struggling with
himself. There are few occasions that more
deeply try the soul of a man than parting with
the only being he feels sure loves him. He is
Adam, going from his Paradise alone.
Emily suddenly started up with her infant in
her arms, and stood by her husband's side. She
had caught the sound of coming wheels, and
she knew he must go. There is no indulging
in sentiment when a rail-car or steamboat is
waiting. But love, ay, real affection, is as j
deeply expressed inone word as in twenty.
There was such a look of love, of unutterable
affection in the tender smile which dimpled her
pale cheek, as she held, the babe to her hus
band for his farewell kiss, that it quite over
came the heart it was intended to encourage.
Had she wept or complained, Charles Carlton
would have rallied his manly tortitude to com
fort and sustain her ; but now he only felt that
he was obliged to leave all he held dearest on
earth, he was the sufferer ; and, clasping his
dear ones to his bosom, his kisses were the
only farewell his lips could frame.
" ' And is he jjone V Oh sudden solitude,
How oft that fearful question will intrude !
'TVas but an instant passed, and here h" stood !
And now without the portal's front she rushed,
And then, at length, her tears in freedom gushed."
CHAPTER IV.
Gossip.
The love of show, alas, that it should warp
Our kindliest feelings by its selfish pride !'
' So your beautiful friend, Mrs. Carlton, the
brightest star in the galaxy of fashion, has been
shorn of her beams, they tell me, and has left
Philadelphia, and buried herself somewheie in
the shades of Germantown,' said Mrs. Mears.
4 Say rather, she is ruralizing in German
town. I cannot endure to think f such a total

From Mrs. Carlton to her husband :
Germantown, Oct. 1832.
' I have a precious piece of news for you, my
dear husband. Henry can speak a whole sen
tence. What do you think it is? but don't
guess. I wants to tell you the whole story.

' This incident, my dear Charles, was a train
ol serious and happy reflections in my mind. -1
I am quite a convert to my good aunt's theory,
that happiness is always found in the path of
duty; and then she lias another apothegm,
