" Yout words awaken recollections which cause m to feel sad, Isabel; that's all Sit down here by my aide, a id you shall hear a story vf one of my flirtations, which uiny change your mind.' Isabel sat down, looking thoughtful, and her aunt continued : When I was young, like you, dear child, 1 whs quite as guy and thoughtless yuucselt I was cllel a coquette, and 1 shame to confess it,glorind in the name, until the occurrence of the painful event 1 bin about to relate. Half a dozen times a year I used to vi,, ij .f and spend a week or two in the pleasant society in that place. There 1 frequently met a pale, handsome, sensi tive young man, named Oilborne, who paid rtie very flattering attentions, making me the tue.i.e of several poetical effusions, and with whose partiality I was very well plea sed. - , . I was warned by many well-meaning friends against encouraging the addresses of so impulsive a person us Oilborne, who they said, was more serious than"!, and who might end by fulli.-g .more deeply in love with ma than 1 expected or desired. 1 laugi ed at the idea, and finding the at tentions of the young poet still agreeable I continued to receive them until it was too late.' - Too late 1 How so, aunt V 'Why, to my astonishment, he one day made a passionate declaration of love a d offered me his-mtnd.' And you did no-, love him I' No, child, I was i. erely pleased with him. But even then 1 did not suppose that his love was more than the result of a sud den impulse, which would pass away with ciy visit to C So 1 respectfully de clined his offer, laughed at the idea of mar. rying at that age, and begged him to dis miss the subject from his mind. On the following day 1 left O , and returned home Letters and poetry followed jne, breath ing the most passionate devotion, and burn ing with the eloquence of love. They bore no name, but L knew they were from Hen ry Ouborne : 1 was beginuing 10 be very much annoyed. I look counsel with my friends, and resolved to send all future epis . ties back to him unopened. 1 return d two letters in this manner, and received no more ; but three or four weeks after 1 re ceived a newspaper, in which there was a sonnet addres ed to me, under a fictititious name, and Signed with his initials. He bait discovered a new mode of reaching nn wiih his passionate effusions ; and from that time a sonnet or song, signed 'H G came to me from lbs C Ga zette, nearly every week. . At this time Mr. Berford was paying me his addresses. He was one of nature's noblemen frank, generous, firm in w .at he considered right, and, a gentlemen in his manners. " Having learned - a lesson from the unhappy termination of my last flir.ation, I received Mr. Berford's atten tions in a different manner from what I had been accustomed to do, and' io a short time we were married. The ceremony took place in Church. I loved Mr. Berford. Oilborne was al the moment quite forgotten, an1 I was perfect ly happy. I hi.d not a thought to disturb the peace of mind the calm repose of toy heart, which 1 had so wiUiogty, gladly given awayuntil, s we wrre passing from the church, my eyes fell upon a wild, haggard figure, standing near Ihe door. It was Oilborne. Hi fate was dread fully pale, his lips ashy, his ees gleamed with an unnatural brightness, and he trem bled in every limb.. I started, ul'ered a suppressed cry, and shuddering, clung to my buaband's arn. A pang went through my heart a pang of remorse and dread which 1 shall never forget. ! "What is Ibt matter?" Edward asked: I could not reply, but he saw my eye fix. ed upon the haggard object in the doorway and kne w why 1 shuddered,. for 1 had told him ' something at mj '-unfortunate, flirta tion. ' ' .

J., "How do you do?" be risked, addressing roe by my maiden name. "Won't' you shake hands with me T" I cave him my hand. ' ' You tremble," said he, fixing bis wild eyes upon my face. You are "not afraid of me, I hope?" .' ". ' ' ' Oh, no," I replied in an agitated Toice for bis strange manner frightened me, why should I be afraid t Come in.M- ' - "No, thank,' you ; you have company, I see, and 1 make one guest too many. And I am not dressed for a party," said be, glancing at h's disordered attire. ' "So you will excuse me Ha, ha ! Wouldal I cut a pretty figure?" "But I cannot with you here," said I. ' Oh, I will not detain you a minute, t have ha, ha 1 I have a question to ask you which is really so absurd, when I think of i', that I cannot help laughing.

Thus the wretched man ' Went on, sdrrie times laughing and sometimes shedding tears, r 1 knew he was insane; I tried to stop him, but I was loo much frightened to speak. In my agitation I took held of the bell wire and rang. A domestic came and 1 sent her for Mr. Berford. " ' i "Berford I who is be ?" cried Gilbofne grasping , my arm.

But Edward was ondanntedY Return intf Gilbornp's gaze with a firm, steady, commanding look, and advanced towards hun and demanded what he wanted: The dangerous spirit of the insane man was completely sabdued. ,.He Lung his head and burst into tears. , .f "Notbing," he murmured. , 1 tl .want nothing now. 1 have been dreaming, 1 will not trouble you again. .

"Poor wretch," muttered Edward, as he kindly took my hand, "he is to be pitied I But you are agitated!.: t hope," be added, in an anxious lone, "you have nothing to blame yourself in this matter?" "I wish 1 had not," 1 exclaimed fervent ly.

Let us go back to the parlor, and. forget what has taken flace.' - - " ? We . returned together, s nd Edward's presence alone sustained me the rest of the evening. Fear, pity, and remorse made my heart .faint- and mjr cheeks pale, and I, was wretched. .'--, , "I. think 1 understand your feelings," said Isabel, who listened with deep inter est "l know bow - i should h-ive felt un der a. conviction, that any thoughtlessness of mine had ruined a fellow being's hap pin-tsa perhaps shattered his intellect!

I tried to speak to the wretched man, but for some reason I could, not; and his eyes still followed me in silence. , "At length, to. my dismay I heard Ella crying in the next room.

Isabel bowed her bead to hide a blush and a tear; and from that time she was never known to indulge in thougntless flirtations. GOING HOMeT We noticed a day or two since that the packets for Europe carry out full loads of passengers natives of Great Britain, aim tne contmenr, migrating homeward to escape the hard times This step may seem, preferable to them now, but iti a few months there must be many thousands of laborers thrown out of employ "in the old countries, in vie w of the sudden stoppage pf the A- merican trade. -Many of these home- returning emigrants carry with them considerable means, the result of years of toil and economy. A letter, from Newbury port says that quite a .number of the Irish population of that section are now returning to Ireland with the money they have saved. Probably this may explain the steady- run made on the savings banks in many cities by persons of European nativity ' : -.-. ,- phiiod American. A CRUMB OF COMFORT. One of the greatest comforts, when a man is in any kind of trouble, is to be able to blame somebody. Me has done nothing to bring this calamity upon himself, of course he has not J he only spent $20,000 a year, or some such tri ne, for family expenses, and only, paid 310.000 for store rent: With a capital of $100,000 he has only incurred debts to the amount of $1,000,000, or in that proportion if his capital is smaller. To be sure he, dabbled a little in stocks, just toii'ave fomething tint cotiid be in stantly converted: into money j but if the banks had gone on increasing tbeir disennnu, as they did until they got up to 122 millions, he would have come out with a splendid profit. They had no business to diminish this line, and therefore he had no business to . lose money. 1 They were guilty of giving him discounts when he ought not to have had them ; and now refuse . him discounts when he must have money or break. Clearly then the Banks are in fault, and not he. ' , , TURK'S ISLAND SALT. , 4' AfVl BUSHELS- Roraalebr 9A A) J. c. SMITH & CO. J at! 30. , . , . 87. GEORGE SIYERS.
