WHOLE NUMBER 13G7 1 MISCELLANY. WHAT ONE LIE DID. It was a winter's twilight. Shadows moved about the room wish noisless feet. while the ruddy light flickered pleasantly between the ancient andirons. A. verier blel&dy, whose harrold -Time had silvered, but whose heart at had leu fresh and young, sat musing in an armchair, drawn up closely by the fire side. Suddenly the tioor opened, and fairy footsteps bounded to her side. 'Well, Bessie,' said the old lady, laying her hands lovingly on lhe child a sunny ringlets, 'have you had a good slide' 'Beautiful, aunt Rulh, and now won't .you tell me one of your nice stories?' Bessie was an only child. Her mother had recently gone to the better land, and he had come to visit her aunt, of whose treatt she at once took; possession by her winning ways and her affectionate dispo sition. But nunt Ruth's eyes were of in clear sort, and she soon discovered that Bessie was not only unscrupulous as to the truth, but thot she displayed little sen sitiveness when detected in a falsehood. -.how, if there was any one trait for which aunt Ruth was particularly .distinguished, it was her unswerving rectitude ; if there was any one thing- that annoyed her more than aU others, . it whs aught that came under the category of fahlies. It was the language of her heart, 'A liar shall not stand in my sight.' She determined, with the help of God, to root out fro:n her dar ling'j character the noxious weed whatev er effort it might cost her. Of th's she had been musing, and her tesolve was formed 'Get your cricket, dear, and come elose 'beside me; "and in a moment the child's blue eyes were upturned to hers. " i am old now, Bessie," and she tender Jy stroked that fair brow, "and ray mem ory is failing. But 1 can recall the time when I was a little dancing, sunny-haired irl like you. You open your ecs won deringly, but, if your life is spared, before you know it, child, you will be an old lady like aunt Ruth. " In those young days, I was in a spell ing class at school with a little girl named Amy, a sweet tempered sensitive child; and a very good scholar. She seemed dis posed to cling to ine, and I could not well resist her timid advances. Yet I did not quite like her, because she often went a bove me in the class, when, but for her, I should have stood at the head. Poor Amy could not account for toy occasional cool ness. for I had been a tiuthfil child, Bes sie, but envy tempered me, and I sometimes tried to prejudice the other girls against Amy, and this was the beginning of my deceit. She was too diffident to defend herself, and so I usually carried my point. "One day our teacher gave out to us the word, Iirtieve.- In her usual low voice Amy- spelt, ' be I i-e v e, believe.' Her teach er, misunderstanding her, said quickly, 'Wrong the next, but turning to her again, asked, ' Did you not spell lleiv ef No, ma'am, I said l-i-e-v-c.' Miss R , still in doubt, looked at m, inquired, 'You heard, Ruth; how was it? A wicked thought occurred to me to disgrace her and raise myself. Deliberately I uttered a gross falsehood, A my said l-e i ve. The lyncher turned toward her, but confounded by my accusation, she was silent, while . her flushed face and streaBrrng-ey-ej gave her the appearance of guilt. AmyyUl -her teacher, sternly, ' I did not expect a lie from you. Go now to the fool of the class, and remember to remain after school."' I I had triumphed, Bessie; Amy was dis graced, and I stood proudly at the head of ay class, but I was not happy. When school was dismissed, I pretended o have lost something, and lingered in therf hall. ! 1 heard tho teacher say. Amy come here,' and then I caught the light footsteps of the gentle child. How could you tr 11 that lie? , ' Miss R -, I did not tell a lie,' but even as she denied it, I could see through the keyhole that in her grief at the charge, and her dread of punishment, she stood trembling like a culprit. I Hold out you hand.' There I stood as if spell bound. Stroke after stroke of the hard ferule I heard all upon tha small white hand of the innocent child. You may well hide your yes from, me, Bessie.' O, why did ;I not speak'f Every stroke went to my heart, but I would not confess my sin, and so I stole softly from the door. As 1 Jingen d on the way, Amy walked slow ly along, with her books in one hand, while with the other she kept wiping away he tears, which would not cease to flow. .Her sobs, seeming to come from a break ing1 heart, sank deep into my own. As she ' walked weepingly on, her foot stumbling, she fell, and her books were scattered on the floor. I picked them up and handed themjo her. Turning toward me her soft blae eyre, swimming In tears, in the sweet est tones she said. Thnnk you, Ruth.' It made tny guilty, heart beat faster, but I would" not speak ; so we went home si lently together. ' .When I reached home, 'what is the use,' aid I to myself ; nobody knows it, and why should I be so miserable ? I resolved to throw off the bated burden, and going into the parlor, I laughed and. talked as if nothing were the matter. But the load on my poor heart only grew the heavier. : I needed no one, Bessie, to tell me the wa ges of sin. The eye of God seemed con uming me. But the worse I felt, the gay- r I seemed and more than once I was checked from my boisterous mirth, while tears were struggling to escape. ? At length I went to my room. I could not pray, and so, Slurrying to my bed, I res oldfely shut say eyes. But sleep would not-come to roe. The ticking of the old clock in the ball teemed every moment to grow louder, ' as if reproaching me, and when it slowly told the 'hour of night, it mote upon my ear like a knell I turned and turned ou my little pillow but it was filled with thorns. Those sweet blue eyes, swjmming in tsars; wsra ever before me ; the repeated strokes of the hard ferule kept sounding in my ears. At length, unable to endure it longer, I left my bed and sat down by the window. The noble elms stood peacefully in the moonlight, the pen ciled shadow of their spreading branches Ivinsr tremulously on the ground. The white fence, the graveled walks, the per fect quietness in which every thing was wrapped, seemed to mock my restlessness, while the solemn midnight sky. tilled me with an awe I never felt before. Ah 1 Bessie, a reproving conscience and an an gry God are too hard for a child to wrestle with ! - "As I turned from the window, my eyes rested on the snow white coverlet of my little bed, a birth-day gift from my aged mother. All her patient kindness rushed upon my mind. I felt her dying hand up on my head. I listened once more to the fluttering voice as she fervently besought the blessing of Heaven upon her first-born. lO, make her a truthful, holy child V I tried to banish from my thoughts t.lis last petition of my dyinj mother; but the murf resolute wns my purpose, the more distinct ly did those pleading tones fall upon my heart, til , bowitig upon the window, I wept convulsively. But teaTs, Bessie, could give me no relief. "My agony became every moment mir6 in'ense, till at length. I rushe 1 utmost in terror to niy father's bedside. "Father! 'fa ther !' but I could say no more. Tender!, putting his arm around me he laid my threbbing head uponbis bosom ; and then he gently soothed me. till I could so far control the torrent as to explain its cause. Then, how fervently d;d he plead with Heaven that his sinning child might be forgiven 1 "'Dear father, will you go with me to night to see poor Amy !' "Tomorrow morning my child 1" "Delay was torture ; but, striving to suppress my tlisapjointmeiit, I received niy lather's kiss, and went back to my room. But slumber still fled from my weary eye-lids. My longing to beg Amy's forgiveness amounted to Irenzy ; and, after watching for the morning what seemed to me hours, my anguish became so intolerable that I tied once more to my father, and, with tears streaming down my cheeks, I ktirlt by his side, beseeching him to go with uie to Amy that minute ; adding in a whis per, 'She may die before she. has forgiv en me.' He laid his hand upon my burning cheek, and after a moment's thought, replied : - '" :1 will go with you, my child "In a lew rniuules we were on our way. As we approached Mrs: Sinclair's cottage, we perceived lights hurrying Horn one room to another. Shuddering with an undefinahle dread, I drew clo ser to my father. Me soltly opened the gate, and silently we passed through it. The doctor, who was just leaving the door, seemed greatly surprised to meet us there at that himr. Words cannot describe my feelings, when, in answer to my father's inquiries, he told us that Amy was sick with a brain fever. " 'Her mother tails me,' he continued, ' that she has not been well for some days, but that she was unwilling to re main from school. She came home yes terday afternoon, it seems, very unlike -herself.- She took no supper, but sat at the table mute, as if stu pined with grief. Her mother tried every way to draw from her the cause of her sorrow; but in vain. She went to bed with the same heart broken appearance, and in less than ati hour I was summoned. In her deliri um she has been calling upon you. dear Rulh, beseeching you, with tl most mournful earnestness, to pity and to save her.' "Bessie, may you never know how' his words pierced my heart? "My earnest pleas to see Amy just one minute prevailed with her widowed mother. Kindly taking my hand the murderer's she led me to the sick cham ber. As f looked on the sweet sufferer. all hope deserted me. The shadows ol death were already on her forehead, and in her large blue eyes. Kneeling by her bed, in whispered words niy heart pleaded, O, so earnestly ! for for giveness. Cut, when 1 looked entreat ingly towards her, in her delirious gaze there was no recognition. No, Bessie ! I never was to'be comforted by the as surance of her pardon. When I next saw Amy, she wr.s asleep. The bright flush shad faded from her cheek, whose marble paleness was shaded by her long eye-lashes. Delirium had ceased, and her aching heart was still. . That small white hand, which had been held out tremblingly to receive the blows of the harsh ferule, now-4ay lovingly folded within. the oth er. Never again would tears flow from those gentle eyes, nor that bosom heave with sorrow. That sleep was the sleep of death ! My grief was wilder if not deeper than that mother's of whose lost treasure I had robbed her. She forgave me; but I could not forgive myself. What a long, long winter foI!e-wed. My suf ferings threw me into a fever, and in my deli rum Icallei coutinually upon Amy. But God listened to the prayers of my dear father, and raised me from this sickness. And when the light footsteps of Spring were seen upon the green earth, and early flowers were springing up around the grave of Amy, for the first time 1 was allowed to visit it. , . My head swam as I read, lettered so carefully ou lhe. white tablet: r AMY; SINCLAIR, FELL ASLEEP SEPTEMBER THIRD. "Beside that fresh turf I knelt down and offered, as I trust, the prayer of faith. I was there relieved, and stren gthened too, Bessie," said aunt Ruth as she laid her hand tenderly upon that young head bowed down upon her lap. Poor Bessie's tears had long been flow ing and now her grief seemed uncontrol lable. Nor dtd her aunt attempt conso lation;- for she hoped there was a heal ing in that sorrow. "Pray for me!" whispered Bessie, as at length, looking up through her teaTs, she flung her arms about her aunt; and from a full heart aunt Ruth poured out her petitions m behalf of the weeping child. The scene was never forgotten by Bessie: for, in that dim hour from the deoths of her repentant tears, alight dawned opon her brighter than morn ing. Aud although it had cost aunt Ruth not a little "to call up this dark shadow from the past, yet she felt repaid a thousand fold for her sacrifice. For tliat sweet young face, lovely as a May morning, but whose beauty had beii often marred by the workings of deceit and falsehood, grew radiant in the clear light of the truthful purpose which was hoin in her soul.

A few days since it wits announcnl il had recenihjr bean nicerlained by experi ment nt Washington, flint marble from Berkshire I county, Mtii . disintrgraird nt iha rate of but one inch in a million of jeers, or thereabouts, a rale which most persona cdneitirred aufficisnily alow, but we learn from recent English napera that Prof. Drake, tha Berlin aculptor, baa in vetited a process to protect marble atrninst all damaging influence of the weather. A liquid is employed which the mnrble imlibea Without hurl to its nppearance. Tha process has been successful in cevernl tr ain, but ia hitherto kept secret by its in ventor. A CURIOS!'. Y. A fewjueeke ago, Chnrlea Schoch, of New Philadelphia. Ohio, waa cutiiner into a large log!, when hia axe struck n cannon leaden slug, weighing three and a half pounds, which wue imbeded in solid wooil about five pr six inches from tha surface. Tha trca from which ihis slug waa token, grew in the river bottom about two milea from that town, and near where Gen. Wayne and hia army encamped durinrr tha Bummer of 1794, when ha marched to the norihwe&t territory to attack il, Miami Indians. Tha probability is, that it wns fired from one of hia cannona, and lay em bedded for inore than half a century. A teacher had been explaining to hia class Iha points of the comrmis. and all were drawn up in front, towards the north. " INow ii hat's before you John V' " The north, sir." 41 And whui'i behind you, Tommy?" "My coat tail, sir," said he, trying at lhe same time to get a glimpse at u. AN OBSTINATE CUSTOMER.
