VV ing the remainder of our vaca¬ lion iu Iho conntry ? Tobe sure the win¬ ler is nol the time that is usually set apart for ivhiling aivay lhe time amid lhe hillsnnd snoiv-driftsof New England ; but to tell the truth I am wearied lo death of Ihis conlin¬ ued round of parlies, balls, &., nolhwilh- standing the favor I have lately been re¬ ceived with by cnlculating mama's wilh marringable daughter. I hove no less than len invilations now lo their select nssemblies, as ihey aro called. Thanks to uncle Hnriy for the eig:hl hundred thou¬ sand dollars he left me—bless his old bach¬ elorship for that ? I have since risen more than eighty per cent in tho market with ! some of our city malrong;—but wh.-it sny j you.sliall we start on the morrow ?" ;
''I Imve no objection lo nccompaiiing i you; on llie conirary, think I should liko It much ; but to morrow would lie: ratlior soon for me to be in readiness lo go i with yo'i, asl have some few friends I would like to lake to leave of; and you 1 Walter, I beliove, have an engagement lo spend an  evening   u-illi  those  distant
coiiiiectioiis of yours on T .street.
"A fig for iiiy engagement to theiu ; wheu 1 called on ihcm two yoars ago this very month, on some busincss for niy un¬ cle in Balliniore, they did not even know mc; thougli I had always lived in the 1 sumo city, and  but two or three streets I
I distant,    I met them at .Mis. B  's;
I they were quite enraplurod to sec mc, ; and regretted much that ,so near relations I should see so litlle of each other as we j had done ; but we must make up for all ; that in thefiilui-e ; I must come nnd see i them every day, and make their house ; my home. I lliink I will not truble my- I self tokeep that engageinen', besides it was but a half promise at best. Bul I for¬ get '. Iwill call onthe B s; I recol-
; Iect a fair girl just emerging into woman- i hood, wilh bright shining curls, and eyes that reminde one of the heavens above 1 by their look of holy purily and innocence. I She appeared lo bc the constant companion
j of A dela H , and I  was afterwards
: informed that she was tho governess. I I sought In vain, at the time, for an inlro- I duction, but no one seemed to know her; afler awhile she dropped her fan ; I ad¬ vanced and presented it to her,upon which
Adola 11 gave me an introduction.
I imniediutely commenced conversation, and was much amused at her witty nnd intelligent conversation, so different from wliut I had been listening loo the early part of thc evening. Soon I saw the coinpany collecting for a quadrille, and I asked her lojoin me in the dance; I need nol describe to you her gracefulness for you wore a witness to it; bul I am detain¬ ing you, and wo have no lime to lose ; I hope you will bc ready by day after to¬ morrow at the farthest; aud now adieu for tho prosent—I will meet you again in the evening."
Theso two young mon, wc have thus unceremoniously introduced lo our read¬ ers, were each ol them ahout to enter upon their last college lenn, and had ahvays been cluasinntes and iniiinule friends from : thc time they commenced a student's life. I They were both of them preparing for I the profession of law, and gave promise of rising fame and honor.
Walter Sinclair had commenced his ; studies under many perplexities and in- : conveniences, and had sometimes been I obliged to tench, during hij winler vaca¬ tion 10 find the means of defraying his nc ' cessary expenses. He had seen the hom I age payed lo wcnllh, while alerllng worth ' passed by unnoticed.    He had longed to
• administer   wholesome   reproofs,  bul ho
• knew thai it would be considered, coniinr \ from one of his station, as arising from i envy ; but, indeed, this was nul the cane ; '' as regarded himself he was enlirely iiidif-
fereiil. But when some few years Inter ¦ ho received the tidings of his father's half biother's death,   who   htid fiiiiissed a for.
tune in the West Indies, and left him his sole heir, his frionds surrounded him from all quarters, he and Clarence had many a laugh at their expense.
In person Walter Sinclair was rather above the medium height; his countenance was of a fair complexion, but was com¬ bined with vigor and strength of expres¬ sion ; his hard eye was piercing and ijuick, varying with every changing feeling or momentary emotion ; nnd round his lips, when in repose, there was a peculiar tone of scornful playfulness in every expres¬ sion his countenance assumed. His friend, Clarence Hastings, possessed a moderale independence, and had often of¬ fered to assist Walter in pecuniary mat¬ ters, but he was too proud, and possessed too independent a spirit lo avail himself of his friend's proffered kindness. In dis¬ position, Clarence was rather of a more serious cast than Walter, but he possessed true manliness of character, and in college repulalion ranked rather obove his friend ; he hnd inlenl, too, and those who had lis¬ tened to his glowing and persuasive elo¬ quence marked out for hiin n brilliant ca¬ reer.
It was a cold inorning in December that Waller and Clarence took the cars which were lo convey them some sixty or seven¬ ty miles inlo the country, and in three or four houra they alighted at a pleasant, bu¬ sy country village, und took apartments where they could have a good view of all that was going on, and also of the hills and mountains in the dislance.
Il was exoellent sleighing, and the vil¬ lagers were improving it to the extent of their a,bility; the bills were merrily jing¬ ling, the horse and sleighs running hiiher and thither, all uumindful of the biiing cold, which would prevent our cily belles from venturing beyond the precincts of their own fire-side. Sinclair and his friend would daily order their horse and sleigh, and away tliey would go over hills and vallies, unlil the village would be left far in the distance.
Il was on ono of these excursions that their course was arrested by the sight of ^ horse running at full speed, whilo the young femalo in the sleigh vainly strove lo delain him. Waller immediately en¬ denvored to stop him, but ore he could ac¬ complish his purpose the sleigh was over- Uiriied, while the horse rushed on swifter th'jn before, leaving his lovely burden en¬ veloped in a .'iiiow-drifl. Walter hastens lo the lady, who, though much frighten¬ ed, has escaped unharmed, and oflers his assistance, which is thankfully received ; he immediately takes her inio his own sleigh, while his friend hastens after the run away horse. She informs him that sho, with her Utile brother, had been to visil a sick friend, and jvere ready to re¬ turn home, when she recollected some¬ lhing she had lefl behind ; her broiher im¬ mediately returned for it, when tho horse took fright and ran away, as we have al¬ ready seen ; her voice was soft and musi¬ cally sweet, and Waller had listened with the greatest aitention to every word she said ; as ihey arrived al her dwelling, she raised the thick green veil with which her face had been covered, nnd expressed her gralilude for his kindness. Why did Waher Sinclair start and forget to reply lo those words of thankfulnesi ; he had seen that face before. It was a lighten¬ ing flash with him—one of those q uick, uncontrolable feelings which have never been explained, and never will be; it seem¬ ed lo his friend, who had reached the ho. lel before him, that some unknown want had just been supplied—some unknown vacuum in his spiril filled lo overflowing. He waited in vain for Walter lo solve the mystery—ho wns most provokingly si¬ lenl. At last Olaicnce broached tho sub¬ ject to him, and he replied :
"You recollect  the young lady whom
we met at Mrs.  B 's,  whom I told
you I afterwards learned was their giver- ness ! Well, on the evening, before I lefl the cily, 1 called al tho house, hoping again to meet with one whom 1 confess had occupied most of my secret thoughts since the time I first tnel hor; do not smile, Clarence, I was not in love, ihough I felt much syinpnthy for her, us she did nol look quile happy, and there secmSd lo bo a secrei sorrow in her heart. Well, I wailed in vain for her appearance; at last I mustered all the confidence I could com¬ mand nnd enquired for her, bul I did nol hear very distinctly her name, nnd had forgotten it. I lold them I believed there was a young lady there to whom 1 had an introduction on the evening of their as¬ sembly. The eldest, Arabella, replied— ''Oh, yes, Miss Greenville; she had gone out to make a call, and ^hey expect¬ ed her return evcry moineiit.O
"I replied it was not MiMX'reeiiville ihttt ] intaiil, Inu 1 lhoU(;hl»iJi.l,H'os not
allowed to linish my sentence, for little Ada B replied,—
''Why, Bella, do you not know, Mr, Sin¬ clair menns cousin Clara?" And away she bounded out of the room, where she remained some little time and then return¬ ed looking quite sad and dispirited,— "Mamma, will you not go and see cousin Clara ? She is weeping, and will not tell me thc cause—sho says she has a severe headache, but that would not make her cry."
"The mother immediately arose and followed Ada, and thoy neilber of them returned before I had taken my departure.
"The expression ol the countenance of the two remaining sisters was anything but amiable. I done my best to keep up the conversation, but my thoughts were elsewhere, and I soon louk leave. I thought much of thc cousin^ as I had now learned her to be, and supposed sho was some poor relative ;   as   the eldest Miss
B had  taken  pains totellineshe
was their governess, my sympathies were enlisted in her welfare, but I did not ex¬ pect to meet her here, and it wa-i with mingled surprise and pleasure that I rec¬ ognized, in Ihe fair stranger we encoun¬ tered this afiernoon, Mrs. B 's gov¬ erness. She seemed more beauliful to me, by the single glance I had of her, than forinerly ; but I suppose it was the bright glow that exercise had given tn her coun¬ tenance. But there is the supper bell; and, if you please, wc will adjourn there for ashort time."
On the following day Sinclair sent to enquire of our heroine, and to see if she had received any injury from her fall the day previous ; but il seemed it took him some lime to make all needful enquiries, for his friend waited in vain for hini to lake his accustomed ride ; he did not re¬ turn till tea timc, and then he was too ab¬ sent minded and abstracted for conversa¬ tion. His former levity had given place to a serious ihoughtfulness, and his mind was busy wilh the fair and gentle being from whom he had jusl pavted.
CHAPTER II.
Clara Green's beauty was one of that style that at once instils into the beholder a .sort of protecting tenderness ivhich ihey •vould feel for a petted uud favorite child. Her hair hangs in graceful ringlets down her back, mocking the control of the shell comb, which is all too frail to confine those abundant Iresses. Sho is young, pure, and guileless; and the rose just bursiing inlo bloom is not more fresh and joyous- looking than is Clara Green ; still, she bad known sorrow—keen, bitter sorrow. She had been called lo inourn the loss ol a be¬ loved father obout threo years previous, who had left his wife ond three children depending on themselves for the means of support. Clara had worked hnrd ot her needle, bul it was little she could earn, though she worked early ond late; the rent was becoming due, and they w-ere without means to pay il, when she received a lib¬ eral offer, if she would go and assist her aunt, who resided in the cily, in taking care o( her children in the capacity of gov¬ erness.
Clara grieved at the thought of leaving her dear mother, and broiher and sister ; but, by going, she could earn much more for their support, and besides she was go¬ ing among friends ; so she thought, and set out wilh a cheerful henrt. But poor Clara was doomed to disappointment; on her arrival she was led at once to the nur¬ sery, where she wos obliged to remain wilh the children from morning till night. She not only had thc care ofthem, but was sometimes obliged lo sit up lill midnight to finish something for the dressmaker, which was wanted by one of tho young la¬ dies for some gay assembly ; and who was also obliged lo wait upon Prank, a rude boy, too rude to remain in the nursery, but still allowed tocall on her for nny fa¬ vor he might wish ; and Clara not only found herself governess, but seamstress, ^'ailing maid, and servant. She had for¬ merly, though poor, been used to sympa¬ thy nnd kindness ; but now she found her self deprived of bolh: with the exception of her little cousin, Ada, now n child of ten years, she had not a friend in the house. From the firsl she conceived a strong attachment fo- Clara,and relieved herof many a litlle care and trouble.
It was at the earnest solicitation of Ada, and the commands of her father, 'hat Clara was allowed to be present on the eveningof their porly; Clora had no wish herself to be th»re, but .\da was delermin¬ ed 10 have it so, and sho was forced to con¬ sent. Poor Clara was Itfl eolirely alone, and wns not introduced to a single person present : when her cousins saw her wilh the weulthy Walter Sinclair an his partner in Ihe dunce, they were  much   surprised
at ber boldness. Her aunt went to her, and enquired how she became acquainted with Mr. Sinclair- She related the circum¬ stance of her dropping her fan, and Ada's introduction. But then Clara, whose greatest fault was her poverty and her beauty, received a severe rebuke, and was lold she had belter retire from the room.— She obeyed ; but she could endure this no longer : her sensitive nature shrank from lhe slight and scorn to which she was dai¬ ly exposed, and, in a few days, she return¬ ed to her village home, notwithstanding the reproof of her aunt and cousins, who accused her of ingratitude in leaving them just as she had begun to be ol some service. Ada wept bitter tears at the departure of her favorite, but, young as she was, she knew she was not trealed kindly, and she rejoiced for her sake that she wna going among friends
On the dny following his preceding vis¬ it, Walter again called, and took his friend wilh him. C'arence was much pleased wilh his new acquaintance ; he found her an inielligenl, agreeble young lady, who had read much, nnd read, too, with taste ; her table was covered with magazines, books of modern poelry, and even some of the more severe works ; ond her talents, apart from her beauty, would hove made her society sought for and appreciotrd any I where. Walter was becoming more and ; more in love, and, ere he parted from her j this evening, he fornied the resolution ihal | if he could gain her love, he would make ' her his wifo. •
Evening after evening did Waller wind hiswayto her home, and Clarence wasalso i a frequent visiior, and Sinclair was some- i limes inclined lo be jealous of his friend ; | for, while sho lislened  to hiin with alien-1 lion, her smiles and inicrest seemed whol-1 ly engrossed   wilh   Clarence ;  ho  would ; have given worlds  if he   could have been ' half so enterlaining,   but he seemed spell- i bound in her presence.    His friend, per- '¦ ceiving he regarded him in the light of a rival,  abstained  from  his visists  to her dwelling.    But   tho   v,ication   was   fast drawing to a close, nnd Walter had not do- i clared his love; formerly he had not lack¬ ed assurance, but   now   his hearl was dis¬ quieted wilhin him, for he feared his de¬ votion was nol i-«i.>r,jo(I^
Bjt the day for his departure was nt hand, and the evening beforo il arrived he hnslened lo her residence, seated himself by her side, told her oil his love, and ask¬ ed her lo become his wife. The litlle hand in his trembled, but was not with¬ drawn ; and, ore they pnrted, they had made a nalural promise " lo love and cher¬ ish each other all their life long."
Waller entered his friend's apartment with a more cheerful countenance than he hod born for some time, and confided to him all his happiness,
'' Well, now I suppose you will not ob¬ ject lo my taking leave of her in the morn¬ ing, as I hove found so much pleasure in her society that I would not like to go without one farewell word."
And thus they parted, and Walter re¬ tired to muse on his good fortune, and dream of his idolized Clara.
The last term of Walter's collegiol lifo seemed longer than all the oihers : bul at last it came lo an end ; he graduated wilh his friend, and returned to Clara's native home to claim his bride. He found Clara growing more and more dear to him, while she seemed but to live in his presence.—
Ado K had come  from the cily lo
spend n few weeks wilh her deor cousin Clara, as she olways colled her.
OIIArTER   III.
" Here is a note  from Clara, enclosed
in ado's letter," said Arabella B to
her molher; only think, Clara is goingto be married, and has sent us all on investi¬ gation 10 the wedding; it is on honor I om not in the least anxious fnr ; but it is all owing 10JOU allowing Ada lo go and stay ihere so long; hutwe must cut her ac¬ quaintance entirely—this is too presu¬ ming."
"Indeed, Arabella, .Mrs, Green's fami¬ ly ore respeclable, and I know no reason why Ada should not go to visit them; and it isa great care off my hands."
"I think I willallend Clara's wedding said "Helen B , "just for the novel¬ ty of the thing; you know we can give up the acqunintjince just as well afiorwards ; and besides, this is a pleasant timo to vis¬ it the country, and 1 can take Ada home wilh me, so Ilbink I will conclude logo."
On Helen B 's   arrival at  Mrs,
Green's residence, ,1110 was met ut the door by her sister, who exclaimed,—
"What made you so lale; Helen! I had most despired ot your coming ; bnt why did not papa and mama coiuc wiih you t We must hasten, or Clara \\ ill be 111 the church bel'ore iif."
They immediately hasiened thither, and awaited the arrival of the bridegroom and bride.
It would be impossible to conceive a more beautiful object than Clara Green, on'.his her bridal eve. She was dressed in a robe of white satin, which came down on her neck, fully revealing the rounded and snow white neck and shoul¬ ders, and a profusion of bright shining hair, with here and there a diamond flash- ingout like a starin thc midst ofo cloud; her delicnie and rounded anns were en¬ circled with a gift of him who was about to become her husband,— a bracelet form¬ ed of a cincture of peorls, joined togeth. erby n clasp formeo entirely ofdiamondj: over all was thrown a bridal veil—a deli¬ cale point lace of such exquisite  fineness
tlmt it floated around her like gossamer,	
The magnificence of her dress was in exquisile tasle, and suited well her style of beauiy. But if Clara was perfect in feminine beauiy, nol less so was Waller in his manly and commanding dignity ; ond anxiously /tis ej-c would rest on the fair being at hi,s side, wilh all the earnest¬ ness and pride of a first and only love.
Hod   Helen    IJ been   suddenly
tra,sportcd lo fairy land, and seen the cel- eslrial beauty of thuir queen, she could not have been moro thoroughly surprised than she was to see her despised cousin leaning on thc arm of hiniwiiom both she and her proud sister had tried to wm, as his beloved and cherished wifo. She leaned back againsl the wall for support while her young sister stood by hvr sido, her face scarce loss radiant wiih happi- ness than Clara herself.
But now the cerrmony i,s completed; the holy mon hos pronounced his blessing upon ihem, and Walter Sinclair and Clar- a I ireen are husband and wife.
But Helen did go to meet tho bride as her friends galhered nround her; the events which had just pa,sscd belore her eifes completely bewildered hor, and she had not the power nor will to move, but slood as one transfixed; ut lenglli she relurned with her sister to the r.i.sidence cf one whom she was now proud to claim as a relation, and Clara, too happy in being united to the man of her choice to cherish resentment, received I.er cordially, though she thoughl there was a siicostic expres¬ sion passed over Waller's fnce as he re¬ ferred lo their las; ini.'etinjr.
"Whal can be the reason timt Helen and Ada have not returned '. Helen would nol surely remain al Mr.s. t,ireen's all day.
As she uttered these tvords, she took up the evening paper, and glances over its contents, the following met her eye :
''.Married —In L , lasl evening.
Waller Sinclair, Esqr., to Clara doughter of the lote Dr. Edward Gieen. Mr. Sin¬ clair sailed this morning with his booutiful bride from Europe."
The poper dropped from her hond ; she uttered no remark, but sat long gazing va¬ cantly at the fire ; what her thoughts were we knew not, and can only imagine, while we leave our readsrs to do the same.
Waller and Clura did not return imme¬ diately after making the tour of the Euro¬ pean continent, but remained abroad about five or six years; during that time they heard very frequently from the B
family by the way of Ada, and learned that Ellen hod married a foreigner of sup¬ posed rank, but it eventually turned out that he was only coacliman to one, and they were now residing somewhere in the country; but the whereabouts was not known, as she had nol chosen to inform her family of her residence. Arabella slill re¬ mains in single blessedness, and ofien raves of the   disgrace   which  Helen has
brought on her family.    On Mr. B *s
deoth, which occurred oboul one year since, ilwas found that his property was so much involved that his children were penniless; Ada immedialely opened n school, and won the esleein of her pupils, with thot of iheir pnrents, also. On Mr, and Mrs. Sinclair's return to their naiive slate, the first to welcome their relurn was Clarence Hastings, now one of ihe most dislinguishcd laivyers of his native slale, and his young wife, Ado B.

My name will be handed down to posterity as that of a universal benefac¬ tor.    The hand   which   hereafler writes upon the record  of Fame,  the names of Ayer, Sands, Townsend, Moffiit, Morrison, [ and Brandreth, must also inscribe, side by side w-ilh these distinguished appellations, , the no less  brilliant cognomen ofthe un- i dying Doesticks.    Emulous of the deathly j notoriety which has been acquired by the 1 inedicinol worthies just mentioned, lalso j resolved lo achieve 0  name and a fortune ill the same reputable and honest raanner, ' Bought a gallon of lor, a cake of beeswax, ] and a firkin  of lord,   and   in twenty-one I Iiours I presented   to   Ihe ivorld the first I batch of "Doesticks' Putent, Self-.flcting, j Four-Ilorse Power Balsam," designed to ' cure all diseases of mind, body, or estale, j to give strength to the wenk, money to the 1 poor, bread and butter to the hungry, boots j to thc barefoot, decency  10 blackguards, and coinmon sense lo tho Know Nothings. : It acts physically, morally, mentally, psy- 1 ctiological'y. physiologically, and geologi- ! cnlly, and il is  intended lo make our sub- \ luiiary sphere a blissful paradise, to which ; IIi-.Tveii itself shall bo but a side show..
I have nut yet brought illo absolute per- ; feclion, bu. evennow it acts wiih immense I force, 03 you will perceive by the nccom- : panying testimonials  and records of my j own individual experience.    You willob- j serve ihal 1 have not restored to the usual manner of preparing certificates ;  which [ is, to bo certain that all those intended for Eastern circulation   slia'l   seem   to come from snme  formerly   unheard ol place iu the West, while   tlioso   sent lo tho West shall bc daled at   some   place forty miles east of sun-rise.    But  I sond to yoi/, as represenling the  western  country, a cer¬ tificate from an Oregon farmer:
"DE,^nSln: The land composing mv f-jrin has hiiherto been so poor thnt a Scotchman couldn't gel his living off it; and so stony ihat we hod to slice our pota¬ toes and plont them edgeways ; but hear¬ ing ol your bolsain, I put some on the corner of a ten acre lot, surrounded bv a rail fence, and in the morning I found the rocks hod entirely disappeared—a neat slone wall encircled the field, and the rails were split into oven wood and piled up r.yminetrically in my back yard. Put half an ounce into the middle of a huckle¬ berry swamp—in two days it was cleored off, planled with corn nnd pumpkins, and had 0 row of peach trees in full bloom ihrough the middle. As on evidence of ils tremendous strenglh, I would stale that it drew a striking likeness of my eld- esl daughier—drew my youngest boy out ol the mill-pond—drew a blister all over his stomach—drew a load of polatoes four miles to market, and eventually drew a prize of ninety-seven dollars in the Slate Lottery. And the effect upon thc inhab¬ itants hereabout has been so wonderftil, Ihat they have opened their eyes to tho good of the counlry, and are determined to vote for a Governor who is opposed to frosts in the middle of June, and who will make a positive law ngainst freshets, hail storms, and the seventeen-year locusts."
There isn't that tome'? Butlgiveone more from a member of the senior class in a western College, vpho, although misguid¬ ed, neglected and ignorant, is, undoubted¬ ly, os honest and sincere ns his Prussian¬ ized education will admit of. I have cor¬ rected the orthography, and revised some grammatical inaccuracies ; but, besides at¬ tending tn these trifles, inserting marks of puiiciualioi],aiid putting the capitals in tho right places, I assure you 1 have made no nlieralion.
"Sail Haiuiok, June .'il, 1854. '' " My Dear Dorrou : [Vou kniw I at¬ tended medical lectures hnlf a-wiiiter,and once assisted in gelling a crooked needle out ol a baby's leg; so I understand per¬ fecily Hell the theory and praciice of me. dicine, and the Doclor is perfectly legiti¬ mate under the Prussion system.] By the inces.sant sludy requirod in this eslab¬ lishmeni, 1 had become worn down so thin that 1 was obliged to put on an over- coal to cast a shadow—but accidentally having uf your Balsam, I obtained a quau¬ tiiy, nnd, ill obedience lu tho Heineopiilli.
