Oxford, indeed, had been particularly attentive to her for several mornings; but gradually his devotion had slackened, and he now seemed to have transferred his gallantry to her older rival. Newton could not endure this treachery of his friend. Miss Devon was as artless as a child ; with a warm and generous heart; in whose looks and actions every impulse of her gentle bosom was revealed ; to whom concealment or deception seemed impossible. Newton would probably have lost his heart to her, but that he found her indifferent to all his approaches; she was kind and friendly, but that was all; in her most animated conversation, she would suddenly grow absent; and often, at such times, Newton saw her eyes wandering to where his friend was talking gaily with Mrs. Smith, and then she would sigh. " Can it be that she loves Oxford 1" he said. He watched her demeanor for some time, and became satisfied that this was the truth. seasort approached a close.—--Far richer than Oxford, the millionaire stroro to out. shine him by the splendor, of eqUippage and servants. The fair cause of this contest held the scale# evenly ; and managed with consummate-skill to give each suiter equal encouragement. To-day, the millionaire's star was in the ascendant, for the beautiful wido'v had ridden out with him, leaving Oxford to Miss Devon ; to-morrow, the-latter was the victor, for he kept Mrs. Smith engaged all the evening by his brilliant conversation. The whole Company became, finally, engaged as spectators in the contcst. The fair beauty seemed seriously to hesitate between the two, great wealth and personal demerits of tl» one, and the high breeding and ample fortune of the other. At length, in a contest for the honor of a partner at the last public ball, Oxford carried the palm, and became victor ; for that very night, without even the formality of a leave taking, the indignant millionaire departed, vowing that women were all jilts, and that his late mis tress was the greatest jill of all. The next morning Mrs. Smith appeared at the breakfast table arrayed in her moat bewitching morning dress, and wearing her most aeductive smilrs. A slight frown indeed gathered on her brow when she saw that Oxford, instead of having taken his usual seat by her chair, had ohosen one next to Miss Devon, who was all bluahea and contusion. The haughty widow looked down the table; the places so lately filled by her admirers were empty ; for a moment she was neglected ; and she determined that Oxford should pay deurly for this momentary desertion. Marrying a Man wBo advertised for a wife.

It appears that Joseph Baker of that place, and late of preeqport, went to New York a few days ago for the purpose of obtaining a wife. His first move was to publish a notice in the New York Sun, stating that a young widower about the age of twenty-five, having one child and a farm a short distance in the counUfy, wished to enter a second tirfie fnto the matrimonial state With some respectable lady of about his own age. This notice attracted the attention of a young girl in the city, aged some 14 or 19 years, by the name of Elsie Craig, who soon responsrd to Joseph's notice.- This was followed by an interview between the parties.

So you may put up your horses." Harry could contain himself no longer, when, on the following day, he saw Oxford select the beautiful widow as his partner lor a ride, and in such a marked manner that every body noticed it. He was still more vexed when ho heard that two of her udmirers wore about suddenly to leave Saratoga ; jealousy of Oxford, it was said, was the cause ; gossip even asserted, and for once gossip was true, that they had offered und had been refused. That evening the two friends happened to be alone together.•' On arriving at Mr. Baker's handsome country residence, behold it was not there ? Nothing but a little shanty, situated in a lonesome, out-of-the-way place, with every indication of indolence and poverty, instead of a neat, comfortable dwelling, presented itself to the astonished strangers. The poor girl and her mother, after taking a fair view of the premises, and discovering the imposition,and the manner in which the daughter had been duped, overwhelmed with disappointment, mortification and disgust, at once decidtd to return to the city.

A wri. ter in the Lancaster intelligencer, with a view of showing the importance of this matter, gives the present law in this State in relation to the subjcct: " A deed should always be recorded j but a defid not recorded is still valid provu ded the same property has not been conveyi ed to different parties. If so, the party having his deed first recorded within six months at execution, has (be best claims to the property so conveyed. This is the law in Pennsylvania—hence the necessity of recording land titles within six months of ex. ecuting them- But there are many more reasons why deeds should be recorded: For instance, in the destruction of a title by fire or otherwise, what a difficulty and expense it occasions to obtain another title, which, Ifthedeed had been recorded, could all have been sdvod, with the exception of two or three dollars for a copy at the Re. £ordqr * ofiice. Another great reason why deeds should be recorded is, that persons often pretend to own property for which they hold no title, and defraud honest persons by giving judgment, it has happt n. ed heretofore, that persons held titles tor properties and On the strength thereof obtained money, for which mortgages and judgements wore given, the holders of which thought themselves perfectly safe.; yet upon n thorough investigation, no title could be founnt and the persons who had advanced the money w ere defrauded out of the same.

Since then four years have elapsed, yet the widow Smith is still unmarried. The fact is, I suppose, she looks too high. A small annuity enables her to dress handsomely, as you sec.
