Mar IBbB: 2t M. E. MANLY. Executor. t tr Ilearl Eclioes., T 'Tis a pleasant evening in June, in one of the principal towns of the Old North ' State,' the stately elms which' arch t the' streets with their , graceful branches, are in full foliage, and gently murmus a sweet song to the . evening breeze! Tis a glorious evening, one in which all that is good in dur . nature comes forth and reverently owns the goodness of dUt Creator ! .. ; In a southern room of the upper story of a dwelling, iii a rather retired part of the town, sit two young girls gaily Chatting together, and ever and anon and castinfir meir eves oui on me i scene spread before them. A beautiful river flows majestically at a short distance, whose surface is as , .-. . calm and placid as a mirror, and now and then a boat glides along, disturbing for a Tiioment the serenity of its waters, then all is calm again; over its glossy surface is reflected the soft azure clouds of summer which float lightly in the air. . V The two girls seem to boilent, for a subduing influence. The younger , of the two, whom we will call Fannie F- , started up from a reverie and exclaimed : Annie, do you ever think of the future ? I sometimes wonder what our lot in life is to be, whether in after years we will be to each other as now ; time will bring many changes, how will it affect us ? will it bring happiness or misery ? Sometimes I think of these things and wish to lift the veil which hides the future, to see what it will bring to us V '' Why, Fannie, you are in a sober mood this evening, rather unusual for you but I too, sometimes think of the future and it is all dark ; I don't think shall ever marry ; my life will flow dn, calmly as usual ; and if you marry and We are separated, I will visit you and recall the days of ' Auld Lang Syne.' Annie B was an orphan from childhood, the youngest of four sisters, who had been reared by a maiden aunt ; the latter seemed to have fulfilled her destiny by living for the good of her orphan iiephews and heices ; she had faithfully devoted herself to them, and as they grew up saw them well settled in life. Annie was a gentle, quiet crea ture, arittable in disposition, modest in manners, beloved by all who knew her ; the cold , world had hot chilled her, for she had riot felt it blast she s"eeme'd too gentle for the storms of life. Her cousin, -Fannie P " was ex actly the opposite; gay, light-hearted and always ready for fun and frolic; she often drew the more serious into some thing like merriment, and . she would exclaim, You are too mild, Fannie. But beneath Fannie's gay exterior lay a warm, loving heart j not many knew how much of tenderness and love lay hidden undei1 that light-heartedness ; the I mother who cherished her so fondly, alone seemed to understand all that was loving in her nature. A few years past, the cousins are separated ; Fannie is at a distant town', among her relations "; she corresponds with Annie for a while, then it ceases altogether ; both have found another on whom to bestow their affections. Fannie marries, and settles down in her hus band's native place. A few months pass, and news reaches her that Annie is to be married! and to a minister! 'tis even so, time confirms it. After the absence of a few years, Fannie visits her childhood's home ; in stead of jogging along in the fasHidnable , - " wv v,. . i . style df stage rtdmg; she is carried swift- iy .aionS ovef a pieasant road, py a noisy locomotive, tne journey being per- ' fotmed in a few hours instead of days, , Kprptrifnr "creiuiuie. - ; M nnv r.hano-PS harl ttiton t,1 . i .

" o-- --at r- . story window of the court-bouse, in ; such a stentorian voice as to be heard with distinctness for a square or more. On one occasion, in the course of a very serious and somewhat important suit, the presence of a witness named Arabella Hanks, was needed. The crier, like a patriot, was nodding on his perch, when he was aroused from his slumber by an order from the court to call the witness. lJkiiler-ttiiioTi5iy -ax tne Judge.' with his hand at his ear, in order to catch the sound correctly', he said : What, your Honor ?' Call Arabella Hanks,' said the Judge. Still in doubt, the poor crier rose from his seat and said again, with a much puzzled look; ' What, your Honor V ' Call Arabella Hanks, Crier,, and de lay the business of the court no longer !' said the Judge, much provoked. 1 he old crier, thereupon, with a countenance indicating both doubt and desperation, proceeded to the window and in his loudest voice called out, 4 Yaller Belly Shanks I Yaller Belly Shanks! Yaller Belly Shanks ! come into court !' It is needless to say, that the serious ness of the court-room was convulsively dispelled, and quiet was restored only to be again disturbed by the laughter caused bySthe crier, who, in answer to the court as to whether or not the wit ness answered, said, ' No, your Honor ; and 1 don t believe there is such a person in the county, for I've lived here forty years, and I never heerd f him before ! John Quincv Adams ' Cornered for Once. Harper's Drawer for January, revives a good old tale, in which two of the most, marked men of the twenty- Seventh Congress figured. The calossal statue of Washington, which, at the time, and since, has excited so much criticism had just been completed and delivered to the Government. What disposition to make df it, or where it was to be placed, were questions that involv ed much contrariety ot opinion among members of Congress. Adams, at the time, was a member of the House. He admired the statue as a work of art, and manifested milch interest that it should have siicri a conspicuous position as was worthy, of the subject and the skill pf the artist'. He . said he had giveA the subject considerable attention, and had come td the conclusion that the South-west corner of the rotunda of the capito was the proper place for it, for in that position it would arrest the at tention of all who entered the capitol. Mr. Stanly, of North Carolina, replied that it: was quite probable the member from Massachusetts was correct in his views; but, as a preliminary question, he would move for the appointment of a committee of Virginia abstractionists, to ascertain where tne corner of a rotunda wasi Mr'. Adams, from his seat, in his usual shrill Voice, responded; good-hum-predly, I give It up!'

The follow ing description of the fall of an asrolite is given in a letter dated the 9th; of December, from Clarac, a village ; in the neighborhood of Toulouse, France : , About 7 o'clock this morningi we heard a terrific explosion, similar to the heavy sound of a heavy clap of thunder, which continued at least five1 , minutest At the same time, we perceived a million of sparks in the air, followed by a black cloud, which : greatly astdhished usL While we were thus gazing at the hea vens, an enormous stone of a nature un known in this country, black and burning hot, fell close to our church, on a little barn belonging to the widow Marie Capereau She was standing at her door, and, being terrified, she called for assistance. Her neighbors responded to her appeal. They went in the direction of the noise, and perceived an enormous stdne, which they endeavored to raise up, but it was too hot.

A mews paper editor, must, like the poet', r be born to his calling as, in the majority of instances, no amount of training will fit a person for such a post, unless he have a natural taste and aptitude for that descriptidn of literary labor j for, although many persons are able to write 'leaders' or 'literary articles, for a; newspaper, few can be entrusted' with its editorial control, few can scent out the libel which lurks in almost every communication, few can distinguish the report intended to please the speaker instead of informing the nation, and the letters written to serve private interests, instead of public ends, still fewer who can tell at a glance the kind of literary or political material which will promote fch rMTYMilatinn nf tViA irmrrtal in fart a n-wi Ajltnr'o n-rAot A.fKn.-,T 1 nnt- o t-r- what he should put mj but what , he should keep out of His columns.
