It was a cliarming day in lhe Indian Sum¬ mer—all the more charming, jierhaps, like a great many other agreeable tliitigs, frora the forco ol contrast—for, it had been precedeci by weeks of t^oU!,. rainy, uncomfortable vTeath- er. This said weather, however, it cannol be denied, put almanacs, wise heads, and every notable rule and s.ayitig proper on such otjca- sions. completely at defiance—so utlerly un¬ reasonable, intrusive and out-of-place was ils appearance. People shut their eyes as lon^ as possible to the fact that it was cold and tlisagreeable, and persisted in sitting ^vilh open windows and fireless rooms, coughing, and huggiQg themselves up with the belief that sofi, refreshing summer-showers, were falUng wilhout. The hopeful quoted again and again the old proverb, ' the morning gray »tid evening red,'—I've forgotten the rest, bul n'tmpoi/e—they had the morning gray (gray enough) to their heart's content, bul Ihat the evening red, and lhe pleasant day which it would portend, followed, was unforlunalely not the case. Miss Fanny May, who, in Ihe most delicato of pink muslins and bewitching of long ringlets, wilh nolhing but a cambric handkerchief thrown carelessly over her fair head, haU tripped in lo see her friend Miss Liizie Douglass, tripped back again willi the sweet satisfaction of iiaving a "famous sore throat and most alarming cold for her trouble. And people groaning, and growling, banning the detestable climate, of which the detesta¬ ble weaiher was an inevilable consequence, and, banishitig soft gales and bright skies atid roses by universal consent and expectancy until next Spring, set themselvea seriously It) putting up sioves, discussing hais, cloaks, muffs and manlillas, and, with closed win¬ dows and bright fires, put ths elements al de¬ fiance.
And now Ihis pleasant sunny day, like— good Izick for similes—like a sweet, familiar faco in a crowd of strangers, like one melodi¬ ous note amidst a crash of discord, like—I might better have said any agreeable and un- ctpecled thing—had re-ope'ned the window?, put out.tbe fires, sent everybody wilh a whirl into the sireel, and given a summer-like, care¬ less indolent, meny aspect lo lhe whole lown. The trees, lo be sure, were leafless, the world of ^ecn things had shared the fate of every¬ thing earlbly ; but the warm yellow sunshine streamed in a golden flood Ihrough the street, and all living things, frora lhe oal on the door¬ mat, with folded fiame, winking eye and most comically sleepy gravity, lo the canary in thej cage, making the air ring wilhhis mel¬ ody, were luxurialing in it. There was an air of quiel gaiety and genile bustle percepti¬ ble Ihrough the sireel.
A group of laughing giris was bidding an animated and prolracted adieu over a gale, not wholly unconscious of lhe regards of a little conclave of budding lawyers stationed on the sleps of ati office across the way.— Charlie Ingersol, the most mischievous of ur¬ chins, Was careering around the garden-walk, and shouting, roaring and testifying his intense latiBfaclion in the noisiest manner, elevated on the shoulders of one of the most indulgent of grandpapas.   Johnny Jay. the milkman's cart drawn by his old mare Sorrel, rolled at a most deliberate and orthodox pace np the slreet.   Magnificent curtains, as they waved to and fro in Ihe soft breeze, displayed new plants, wilh their fragrani treasures.   Children loitered and frolicked as they relurned from school.   Old Mr. Maine crawled feebly along, enjoying almost as much as the youngsters the sunshine; and, lastly, who should come puffing and sailing around the corner, white hat, red face, spectacles, cane and all, but fat Mr. Day, the president of the bank ? and who should he raeel and nearly annihilate with his bulky person by the encounter, but Mr. Lind¬ sey, one of the directors 1 anti  what should they bolh do, bul stop, shake hands violenlly, and sland  lalking for raore than an hour on the stone steps of the building ?   Mr. Lindsey lived but a few doors ftom the bank, and hi? little daughler Maggie, who had been driving her hoop the livelotig afternoon up and down the street, hail at lengih grown weary, as well she might, and flung herself down on the sleps at her falher'a feet, waiting on the ter¬ mination of his lengthened colloquy, lo return home.   To say that Maggie Lindsey was nol tired as she sat listening to slock, per cent., andnobody knows what, would be lo declare sotnelhing very (]uestionable at the least, and if, instead of a nice little airl, she had been a great rough boy, she would probably have an¬ nounced  this fatigue iii lhe most violent and audacious manner.    Ves—a boy would have gone up, sans ceremonie, seized  his father's hand, jerked it intpaliently, and begged him ' to come,' and, at the failiireof his entreaties, entertained himself by kicking his two good- for-nothing feel together .and essayed to swing himself around by the hand, receiving proba¬ bly a fall and severe reprimand for his pains, displaying, by lhe whole  procoeiliiig, the ty- ranical, coiitrarv, impatient temper, natural to ibis species fiom   baby-hooil.    Rnl  Magaie Lindsey, pretty lilllu Slaggie l.inclsuy, with her sweet, brown eyes, and brighl, ro.iy, plea.s¬ ant face, sat as quiet as any lamb, the large curls falling in Inxuri.ml masses ovei her deli¬ cate arm as, Ifaniiig iiti it. she gazed wilh most child-like reverence and awe up in her father's face.    She al length lecKiveJ her re¬ ward, fnr Ihey  began  lo  lalk of somelliing ihaldid interest her, of lite now cashier, Mr. Williams—her darbng Frank Williams—who pelted and  played with  her and  whom ahe loved so dearly.    Maggie did not lose a word of this.   Her ears  were  wide  open, as you may suppose.
' You like him then ?' .said Mr. Lindsey- ' Yes, very much, very much,' returneii Mr. Day.    'And, by-the-by. Lindsey, it puzzles me 10 know how they could give hira up al
liegtlll io walk slowly up and down, and Mag¬ gie heard nt intervals as they passed by het— •unforlnnale afliair,' 'before il proceeded far¬ lher,' 'found out,' 'killed.' Liitle ,VlHggies.nr slupilied wilh horttir. Her dear Frank—no! her naughty Fiatik, fur ho had been doing something very wicked she was sure, and .she would gohome and lell her moiher about il righl away, direcllv.
So lhe chilli, wilhoul waillDg for her father, ran home in n mnal excited atid agilalcd stale, a.s fast as hsr fcet would cany her. Il ««« imw (lark, and had grown quile cold nnd chil¬ ly, as is common in the evening nl ihia .season. The birds had all been laken in, lho cal had abandoned her lounge, belles and beali.v all had vanished, and there was nobody in tlie slicot bul middleHilrod gentlemen, hurrying home Ihrough Ihe darkening Iwilighl In iheir tea. Mrs. Lindsey was silling hy the lighl ol a grate lire which ihrew a warm iileasani glow around lhe room, when Maggie, licr eyes nearly stalling out of Iter lieuJ and her chatks beaming wilh e.vcilenieiil, caine luu- nitig in.
'Oh! moiher,' she exclaimed, .is .sho threw herself into ihal lady,sarin.s, 'Vou don't know what a wicked man, JNIr. Frank Williams is.'
'Why, what dti you mean Maggie'!' return¬ ed her mother, 'you aro mistaken, he is a gootl man.'
'No! hc is wicked; my fn.liief said so,' ie¬ turned the child, and" fhe then prmleeded lo relail lo her raothpr all she had heard, unlil iMrs, Lindsey pulling il logelhcr iiivolunlarily and magnifying il. had transformed tho pecu¬ liarly agreeable, handsome; genllemanly 30ulh, wTlh whom she had hitherto bucn so dclighledjitilo somelhingdreadfiil,dark.mys¬ terious—she scarcely knnw what. She al- tt^mpled 10 quiet Maggie, however: lold her it was 'nothing,' '.sheliad not heard dislinct¬ ly;' which did no very great good, for, withii child's quick penelralion. she .saw that her mothsr herself did not believe what she said. Maggie was so di5trcs.?ed at theso unhappy revelations concerning her favorile, ihal .=he could nol touch her bread and milk al tea, and sat with most prelernalurally enlarged eyes and an unusually silent longue, (for she was generally a greal chatler-boxj lill she was laken lo bed. The insiant the door was clos¬ ed Ujion her, Mrs. Lindsey, whose curiosily could be restrained no lunger, turned lo her husband and e.vclaimed :—'Well, my dear, whal is this dreadful affair about poor Wil¬ liams.'
'WhalaffairV repeated her spouse, whn, sealed in a most delightfully comfortiible chair, was solacing himself witha new re¬ view. ' What affair ? ' he repealed, looking al her from under jiis spcclaclus in greal astonishmeiil.      .».
' Why, you know as well as I do," retuined the lady pettishly ; ¦ whal you were talking 10 Mr. Day about, litisafleiiiooii.'
The bank director gaxed in slill increasing wonder.
' When Maggie was on lho slops,' added his wife.
' Oh!' said he, returning, wilh a low langh, ) his book, ' il was nothing.'
' Now you need not tell me so,' answered his wife, ' it ivos aomelhing, and I insist upon knowing what.'
Mrs. Lindsey's ' insists' were by no means terrifying. He replied^ Iherefore, quielly, 'My dear, it is impossible for me to lell you; il was a secrel confided lo me.'
Then there is somelhing, ihought she, Iri umphanlly, allhough silenced al the last .speech. Mrs. Lindsey walked aboiil lllc next | day wilh the imporlanl air of n jiersoii who had mado a discovery. She looked prelernat- urally wise and fearfully solemn, even while I washing the breakfast cups, and evpii ing with impatience, for the arrival ef lhe arieinoon.— She went over as soon after dinner as it w-.is decent, to pass il wilh her Iriend and neigh¬ bor, Mrs. Vernon. This lady had not been her friend atjif neighbor so many years wiihoul discovering the infallible syniploilis of a .se¬ cret; so sat deiermined nol hi lake the slight¬ est hinl, or beiray lhe ieasl curiosity, being a very sure way, die vety well knew, of nip¬ ping the seciel in the bud. She permilled Mrs. Lindsey lo run on lill she had exliausled herself wilh such truisms: 'How dislress¬ ing it is lo be deceived in any one you have respected and liked.' ' VVell, truth is siranger than ficlion.' 'What a woild wc live in:' ' Certainly onc leams new ihings every day:' ' I never was more surprised m my life than I was yesterday.' Thai looked like coining to lhe poinl, so Sirs. Vernon raised her eyes and began lo appear inletesled.   ' Bui' said Mrs.
_ ' Ah! that was Bennet's, the president's do- mg.'
' Why—whal was the matier V returned his interlocutor.
'The trulh i.s,' said Mr. Lindsey, wilh visi¬ ble reluctance, 'It isa little bit ofa spciet, wh^icb, as I was his particular friend, Mr. Ben-
'Out with it, man,' iiiterinpted hiscompan- lon,   1 wont peach.'
' It wa. lliought advisable lo gel hira out of the way, said Mr. Lindsey, ' for'-and then the two gonlljraen descended the sleps and
Mrs. Vernon looked down again on her knit- ling, and began talking of indifferent matters. Nothin" could be more cnnning. Piqued nt her affected lack of curiosity, Mrs. Lindsey, in a soil of spite made Ihe disclosure.
' I can never look al him wilhout horror and disgust,' exclaimed Mrs. Vernon after a mo¬ ment of aslonishmoiit, ' Who could believo it 1 Such an agreeable, hand.some young man, bul the devil knows where lo choose his ser¬ vants.'
'I really thoughtii was my duly lo lell you, 'continued Mrs. Lindsey, graiified be¬ yond measure al lhe efifect she had produced, 'for he had been so very polile lo your daugh¬ ter Gtrlrude, and now of course '
' Of course,' interrupted her friend, ' she shall have nothing lo say lo him.'
'[would not cut him dead, my dear,'exclaim¬ ed Mrs- Lindsey, in some alarm, 'for nolh¬ ing more of this ia lo come out, you under¬ sland- My husband, Mr. Day, and all of Ihem it appears, have determined lo conceal il, and as the young man has behaved very well since his arrival hero, vie must on no account rake up this old matter.'
' Oh ! ceriainly ; I shall say nothing, you may depend upon it,' answered her compan¬ ion, 'e.xcepl lo warn CTertrude, and insi.sl up¬ on her discouragiiiE his atlenlions and trealin-i hira wilh coldne-s-s! What can he have done .'' fhe exclaimed after a inoraenl's pause.
'That is morethan Ican lell,' answcied Mrs. Lindsey. 'The words ceriainly give one's imaginaiion free scope, f have Ihoughl of every thing, and really conld nol sleep last night for distress and fear. I imagined him gliding inlo the bank with false keys and a shaded lantern, and jierhaps selluig fire to it afterw.irds for the purpose uf concealing his depredations; which, as we live so near, you know, wonld he anythins Imt pleasant. Some¬ limcs 1 think iherp are deialrfllinns in the ai-.- connls. and he threatened tu kill Mr. Bennet, who perhaps discovered il, if he belraj'ed him. Then agam, I do not know bul he has killed somebody.'
Mrs. Vernon's face lencuied every variely of lioirnr.
' There ho is,'sho ahnosi shrieked, looking out of the window, * he is coming here.'
Bolh ladies rose hurriedly, the lirst impulse being lo run and lock the "iluor. but as Mr. VVillams did nol display any balligeienl inten¬ tion, bul walked with a very qniet and com¬ posed air up the .steps and rang, Mrs. Vernon coirtenled herself wilh ordering the servant lo say Ihal' Miss Gertrude was engajted.'
This proceediug occasioned no slight distip- pointnient and surprise to bolh Mr. Williams and the lady of his love, who, wilh beating hearl and blushing face, had from an upper window watched his approach- She had •ilanced in the glass to ascetain just how pret¬ ty she was looking—a proceeding veiy natu¬ ial to young ladies on such occasions—then slood w.iiling momenlarily a .summons down. But she wasdeoeived. The half door closed inid the seravnl relurned again to her quar¬ ters.
'No raess-ige, book, or nole—whal could il mean 1'
'Mamma,' she e-\claimed, after wailing an impaiient half hour for Mrs. Lindsey's exit, ' Mr. Williams called here Ihis aflernoon and wasnotadmitted—what does it meani '
' Do not speak of him, my dear;' returned
lhe inolher with* vehemence, 'wretch thathe
is.'
' Why whal is the niatler?' answered her
astonished audilor, a sliglil Iremor in tho voice bel ray iug alniio her tigitalian, for the darkened lonlh concealed lhe pallid cheek, and wild .slnrlled, expression in Ihe soft blue eye. Mrs- Veijion repealed the conversation which had ju-sl lakon place, filling her daugh¬ ter's mind, wilh the Sanie mysterious nndeliii- ei( suspicions which agi.alcd her own, and conchided by commanding her nol lo glance, lalk, or think anything niOic nf Mr. Frank Williarni<. Nothing easier than a virluous iii- dignalion, when one's alloctions are in no way inierested 4n llli ViUlim ofsuch an o.stm- oisin. Nolliing"more torluriiig than lo add One's mile of cold words and glances, when one's vnry heart is wriing iVilll jiily lor lhe individual lindor such a ban.
Nevertheless Miss Gertrude Vct-noh's mai¬ denly pride formed an iltipeneltably shield lo lhe •ili.sptay ofthe illCrcJulily and sympalhy wliich nestled so warmly around her lieart.— She ' reeked ' iherelorc on hur itiolhci's ' rede.'
Mr. Frank Williaiii-l, liio victim of these inaohinatiuiia, was one of lliosc universally popular and happily eonstiluled characleis who take every whore, wilh young and old, grave and gay.

Mil, irimo than all, a never-ending flow ufgood spirits, or amiability, or.sualivenesS;as phrenologists wonld lerm il, which possesses an irresistable attraclion. All the world ad¬ mire laughing rallier than Weeping philoso- phois—qllileliconclusivoargnmenl, I lakeit, that the world in general has ralher moro lo wee|) than to laugh at ilself. And we all are conscious how much easier it is lo love even where there arc great faults joined lo a gay, I'rank; afleclionale temper, than the impene- iiable, reserved, and coldly correct being, who calls upon us for nolhing either in Ihe way of afleclion or sympathy. ~ Good humor, like a graceful manner, is sometlitng lo everybody, and all things lo some people, for none bul a churl or mis-inlhrope can withstand the keen eye, the reaildy e.vtended hand, and invaria¬ bly cordial, pleasaiit greetiiig- But this ia a decided digre.ssion : lo return to our hero-— Tllis much vauiilud qualily made him play, romp, and make himself as lidiculous as they could desire wilh cliildren,- jusl as he could listen wilh the most delerential and interest¬ ed attention, to Ihe long, dull harangues, of their papas and mammas.
His bow lo his lady love, Miss Gorlrude Vernon, was the perfection of courlesy and jjrace, so it was to poor old Mr. Anderson, who sold books and paniphlcls at the little shop, on Iho oorner of the street. The very attendants at the large house where lie boar¬ ded had wings when lie Was lo bc served.— Ves, Mr. I'Vdok Williams vvas, or rather hud hecn, A Universal favmile- But, lo ! a won¬ drous change. The ploasuiablo flutter, asjila- lion and smiles, which we were wBnt lo maik his approach al parties, all had disappeared, and ill their pliice ho beheld a sudden and ominioUs gravily and shrinking.

Williams now really longed to shoot him¬ self, go lo Texas, or do somelhing, else inad and desperate. He confided snme of his dis¬ lressing sensations lo his friend Mr. Lindsey, who confided ihem in lurn lo his wife, and wondered what lhe deuce had got inlo people, parlicnlaily that silly lilile girl Gertrude Ver¬ non, Ibr treating a fine gentlemanly Iellow, like Williams in such a scandalous manner- Mrs- Lindsey said nothing, but ihoughl a greal deal; her woman's he.nrl failed wilhin her for foar, and over hor pillow that nighl flillod visions of suIlsio^.^nder and defama- lion, courls and cosls, mingferd wilh those of ajnsllyinfurialed husband, and the ncw cash¬ ier's handsome person exiended al full lengih wilh bis brains blown out- On considering the malter the next day, however, there was a possibility tbal some one else might have done the mischief, and wilhout betraying her¬ self, she determined to proceed, in the most diplomatic manner possible, lo the discovery of this fact- Al a small parly where Mr. Fi-aiik Willianis was nol, she sealed herself by Mrs. Maxwell, a charming young married la¬ dy and friend of his, who had remained cor¬ dially true and kind amidst the volley of cold looks and icy greetings by which the unfortu¬ nate youlh had been assailed.
' Vv''hat can be the reason,' e.vclaimed Jlrs- Lindsey, with a vyonderfully ignorant and -sympathizing air, why llial agreeable young man, Mr. V.'illiams, is not hero lo-nighl V
' He was not invited.' rejilied hci audilor, coldly, with mo.si suspicious brevity.
'Not invited !'echoed Mrs. Lindsey, as if -she really conld nol credit the full honor of Ihe facl, ofwhich, by lhe way, shewasawaie before. Her companion made no reply, and Mrs. Lindsey began on another lack. '1 do nol think he is as greal a favorite, as when hc fitst came here.' Slill no answer, and Mrs- Lindspy, who did not find ihis 'raotiologueing' particularly agreeable, lurned lo hersifeiilau¬ dilor, and exclaimed. ' What can be the rea¬ son ¦?'
' 1 should imagine yon would   know, Mrs.
Lindsey ;' answered lhe lady, al length,; with no lilllo indignalion, 'foril wassomething yon lold Mrs. Vernon, and Mrs. Vernon lold Mrs- Fisher, and Mrs. Fisher lold her cou.sin Mrs. VVells, and she Inld Mrs. Davis, and she told —nobody knows who; sufliee il tosay, thai every man, woman and child in Ihis place h;is heard the 'something,' and il is doing a very deserving young man incalculable injury .and ruinuig his prospecls in every way-'
'What will become of mel' thnught Mrs. l.indiiCy, in an agony, as she walked home that niglit. 'Oh ! that tieacheious Mrs- Ver¬ non, when I lold her in all friendliness loo, entirely on her daughter Gertrude's account, and she promised me Ihal she never'would .speak of it agiiin !'
Karly .the nexl raorning she sallied inlo Mrs. Vernon's and asked with quivering lips .ind ashy chjjek, wlielher she had mentioned ' that affair,' aboul Mr. Frank Williams lo any one.
Her friend looked excessively frightened and silly herself for a moment or two, tlien acknowledged Ihat -she had spoken of il lo Mrs. Fisher, bnl she wa-s sure she had no! told—she would go and see her.
'But she has though,' replied Mrs. Lind¬ sey, Willi the energy of despair: 'She lold her cousin Mrs. V.'ell.s, and Mrs- Wells lold Mrs. Douglass, and Mrs. Douglass lold Mrs. Davis, anil it is all over town?
Nolhing except Mrs. Lindsey's con.sterna- lion could equal Mrs. Vernon's. Bul a drown¬ ing man catches al a slraw.
' There may be snme mistake,' she replied ' al all events I'll go and see Mrs. FisHer this aflemoon.'
'How oould yon, Mrs Fisher,' began Mrs. Vernon, 'tell thai affair about Mr. Williams, whicii I eonlided to you. Under the slrielesl injunction of sectecy-
ftlrs- Fisher looked np al lho ceiling, down on the fioor, and out of tho window, and gath¬ ering courage, doubtless, from the survey of Ihese prospecls, said, in a faltering lone, that .•jhe had only lold her cousin Mrs. Wells who was very prudcul, and never nienlioued any¬ ihing. . , , , 'llnlsiiehas nol been prudent this lime, answered Mrs. Vernon, wilh no little acrimo- «iy, ' Ibr she has told Mrs. Dotlgl.ass, who has lold Mrs. DaVis, who inforhrlcd tlle wliole town, 1 imagine, for every body knovvs it.'
Nol halfan hour had elapsed before Mrs. Fisher's lial anil cl'-Jak were On, and she was in Mrs. WelhV p«r!r)i; , ,  ,

' Which she has mil kept,' said JMrs. fish¬ er, ' for she has told Mrs. DavLs, who has lold the whole lown, I suspect, for every body knows il, and il is making a great deal of trouble.' .
'l.im. very sorry,' answered Mrs. Wells:' 'Whal can I do? Shall I go and se* Mrs. Douglass V
' Ve-s, by all means: put on yonr things now, and then come to our house and lell me what she says,' replied her cousin.
Mrs- Wells was a limid womaujand il look her some time to breach the subject.
' You remember whal I lold you about Mr. Williams?' she said, al lengih, in a low, con¬ fused tone.
'Yes,' answered Mrs. Douglass, with the most coinpnsed air in the world..
' Dili you ever lell any one—Mrs. Diivis !' slammeicd pOor Mrs. Wells, feeling like the victim herself.
'No!' answered Mrs. Douglass, 'Mrs. Da vis lold me.'
' Is il possibic !' .said her aiidilorj in a de¬ ligliied olirprise.   ' ifow did she hear it,?'
'It w.aa lhe same story; it all came frdni l\lrs. Lindsev,' answeicil her friend. ' She told Mrs. Allan, who lold Jlis. .lohnson, who lold Mrs. While, who lold iVtrs. Davis, ami she lold me.'
' Indeed !' said Mrs. Widls, wilh an asloii¬ ished expression of countenance peculiar lo herself; 'Indeed I' ,
What a racing and ellHsinsr was there llial live-long aflernoon aboul 'thai affair' of Mr. Frank VVilllams'- What a comraolion in eight nr len feminine hearts (married ones! too) of which he was most unwillingly lho cause.— Purple, and slone-eolpred cloaks were dodg¬ ing each olher in all direclions. and after ex- planaticns and rB-c.^plaiialious by sc.ores, eve¬ ry hoily shook their hands free of the mailer, voling thai Mrs. Lindsey was the guilly per¬ son, on whom retribulion should fall.\ She, iiiili)iluiiale wiiman, was silling quietly al home in pleasing ignerancBbf all ihiscoinmo- lion, wdieii Mrs. Vernon, wilh a peculiarly pnrsrd-up expression of rnunlerance, came in- Never .since lhe memory of man or wo¬ man eilher, had her liiend and neighbor look¬ ed so awfully soleiiin and rigidly severe. Mrs- Lindsoy had nol heart or voice enough lo bid her 'gooil evening;' she merely motioned Iter lo take a .sp,-it, and gaziiig steadfastly af her wailed for her lo begin.
'lam surprised, Mrs. Liiid.sey,'at lengih said lhe lailvj 'al yOilr alliicking irie wilh making public thai story aboUl Mr. Williams, when you have hiloimed every body else oi it, as well as myself.' Slill, Mrs. Lind.sey said nolhing: she meiely Jooixfi for a furiher explanalion.
' Vou lold Mrs. Allan,' said her companion in reply to the look, 'and she lold Mrs. John¬ son, and—"
' 1 lold Mrs. Allan ?' gasped Mrs- Lindsey, at length: I never lold any one but you.'
'What! nul on Sunday, comhig from church!'
A sudden light glanced upon poor Iilrs- Lindsey-
'Bul I did nol tell her any thing,' an¬ swered she; ' I merely hinted at something.' ' Well! Ihal isthe amouni of il;' said' her fiiend; 'it isa hint atsomethiiigwilhall of u-s, and none of us know what it means: audi fur mv pail am inclined to think the whole af¬ lair is bul a child's nonsensO; magnilind by a very limed, nervous woman.' • .4iid wilh this neighborly speech upon her lips, Mrs- Vernon deparled. This was by no means the lasl ofMr. Lindsey's troubles Ihat evening, for her loid and masler eame home atnine o'clock in ihe lowering passion aboul the same mailer. It appeared that on being interrogated by Frank Williams as to the cause and occasion of the offence he appeared lo have given people ingeneral, his friend, jVlr. Maxwell, had lold him hone-slly lliiil it' was soraething which she had heard (she believed) Irom iicr husband : and whal the ' something' was, she nor nobody else knew. Convinced that there was some mistake, lor Mr. Williams was not able lo suspect his friends, and Mr. Lindsey he knew was his friend, he h,aslened lo that genlieman and asked an explanation! For a moment Mr. Lindsey was bewildere ' he was as ignorant as Williams himself; hui a Ihonghl of Maggie and his wife's suspicions on that evening flashed across him,
' My dear fellow,' he exclaimed, ' I am dis¬ tressed to dealh that this has happened. I un¬ derstand perfectly wlmt il is: all nonsense— silly womi^n, silly women.'
And he raced home, leaving his auditor, if possibic, rnore astonished than hc had found him, Mr. Lindsey was really furious and his medilaliotis on the way home as lo all Wil¬ liams had sulfered in coiisni|uencR of his wife's gossip did not serve lo calm his feelings.
'And so, my dear.' said hn dashing into Ihe room, ' you've been making a pretty dish for yourself.'
Mis. Lindsey licaid in .silence, whilo her spouse walked up and down lhe rnbm won¬ dering how women could be such fools and his wile such a parlicular one, wishing their tongues in the charged a personage nol lo be nanied lo 'ears polile.' and concltuled by .stri¬ ding up 111 his lerriliod helii-male, and askini: her' what he was lo .say lo Mr. \Villiains for all her confounded nonsense.
' Bul he has done somelhing dreadful: you know he has,'sho sobbed, al length byway of a palliation.-
' Whal do you ine;iii ?' said her husband, sternly.
'Vou told Mr. Day, your.sulf," she continu¬ ed, ill an agony of leais.
' Ves, 1 told him,' replied her hu-sband,'ihal Mr, Beiinelts silly daughler cho.se l" fall in lovg with Williams, and'as her fiame evidenl¬ ly was not relurned, her father was vory glad of an opporlunily of gelling him out of the way, before the girl made a fool of heiself.— This was confided lo me asa si^crel, whicli was the reason 1 did nol lell you al the lime- for I know very well whal a secret is in the hands of a woman—the whole race—even my^ liltie JMaggie, can keep nolhing lo her-
Williams, and little Maggie showered down Wanes and tears innumerable on his cheeks. He went from there lo a parly where all the young ladies in town lavished on him their brighlesi smiles and mosl particniar atten¬ tions; not omiiiing even Miss Gertrude Ver¬ non, whose lovely blue eyes followed him with such a bewitching and bewildering inter¬ est ihal he could nol forbear whispering:—
'You'll nol refuse lo permit me to escort you home ?'
'Cerlaidy'nol, Mr. Williams,'she replied, wilh a blush and a smile.
'Never, never, will I repeal any Ihing thai I hear again,' was Mrs. Liiid.sey'a concluding excUunHtion llial evening—'pariicularly lo lluil gnod for nothing Mrs.'Venion,' she added menially.

A virluous charac¬ ter is bolter than riches. Expect not success where firm inlegiily is wanted. Shape your course by true wisdom, and lel correct princi¬ ples ^govern every aciion.

Never consenl to hold as your owu, onc fai- thing which rightluUy belongs to others.-
As yon ate al present in circ.uinstanci.»s ol greal trial, and as many eyes are upon you, llo nothing laslily. Ifyou need advice, con¬ sult only a few. Lot lhein be disinternsled porsons ol the mosl established reputation.

If you inusl slop business, do it soon enough not 10 involve your unsuspecting friends.
Learn from your present diffu'ulties the ul¬ ler vanity of earthly Ihings.
THE MONTIIS- The following condensed accoimt of Dick¬ ens' humorous description of the Iwelve months of the year, nnder the characler of lhe Twelve Danghter.s. in.iy be amusing lo many of our readers:—"The first is cold, stern and unrelenting. Her name is January The second is very dimilive in size, and'is frequently worse than .lanuary, and 'always as bad. Her name is i-'cfcrtrari/- The third is spiteful in disposiiion, boisterous in temper, and passionate in the exlreme. Her name is March. The fourth ia as capricious and way¬ ward as an infafit; now all sunny with smiles, then absorbed in tears- Her name is April. The fifih is a brighl and laughing virgin, whose hours of mirth are seldom hivaded,and wdiose pleasure is the cullivation of sweet flowers.— Eler name is May. The sixth is more serious and sedate; she delights in shady groves where she reads or meditates at her leisure- Hsr name is June. The seventh is hot, fiery, and volupluous: seeking in vain lo quench her thir.-.t of pleasure. Her name is .luly.— The eighih is a maiden, whose looks bespeak that mellowness which is also to be found in the fruils that hang over iter bowers, or inihe harvests, the gathering of wliich she loves lo superintend. Hnr name is-i^figtist. The ninth staid and malronly in deporlmenl, combining the remains ofthe pa,ssions of youlh wilh the diserelion and reserve of middle age. Her name is Seplember. The lenth montli is un¬ cerlain and mysterious in her conduci; al onc moment sportive and gay, al another dismal aud frowning. Her irame is October. The elevenlh is inhospitable and cheerless, frigid and cohl in her manners, &c. Her name is November. The twelfth is a miserable and shrivelled ciealuie, dressed in furs, and slip¬ ping al every step.    Her name is December."
A GOOD STORV.
We liko a gnod slory, and the lasl niimber of Blackwood furnishes one as follows:
" Some years ago when all lhe world were mad 11)1011 lollerics, lhe cook ofa middle aged gentleinan drew from his hands the savings of some years. Her masler curious lo know the cause, learned that she had repeatedly dieairieda cerlain nnmber wasa .great prize, and she had boughl il. He called her a fool for her pains, and never omitted an ncra.-,ion lo lease her on the -siibjecl. One day, linwever, ihe maslcr saw in a iicwsjiaiier, oral his book¬ seller's in the couniy town, lh.it the number wasaclually (he Iwenly thousand pounds prize. Cook is called up, a palaver ensues; had known each other for many years, loth loparl, &c.—in shoit he proposes and is excepied, bul insists on the marriage being celebrated next morning- Married they were, and as lhe carriage look them frora the church, they enjoyed the following dialogue ;
" Well Molly—two happy events in one day. You have married, flrnst, a good hus¬ band. You have somelhing else—but first let me ask yon where you have locked up your lottery ticket?"
"Molly, who Ihoughl that her master was only banteringher upon the old point cried, "don't ye say no more aboul il. I ihoughl as how il would be, and that I should never hear lhe end on'l, so I sold il lo the baker of our village for a guinea profit; so you need never be angry wilh me again about ihal."

I have sulfered for sevfra,' vears past with Liv. er Complaint, and llic irain uf'diso.;''" '"]'"'-'' '"' low—a complele prostration uf the ly.'.^'"^ °° Ibat it was wilb greal difiiculty i could Walk, nu^ al tinies I was confined to my room. To add to my misery, a Wcrofulous afleclion appeared in my Lliroat, wilb Rlieumatism in my arms, so llial J could not rai.se my righl arm lo my bead. In Ihe hiitlest weaiher my hands and feet would ache n ith coll, and preapiration had almost ceased. I now became alHuicd wilb a dry hoarse cough, and gnve up all hopes of ever gelling well. I bad night sweats and got little or no sleep, wiih rrigbUul dreain and morbid headache. I soemsd lo be bordering on INSAiMTV, and was deniel all study or mental c.tereise. 1 could nol read a amall paragraph iu a newspaper without great dif- lieiiliy. I had great soieness in my stomach, wbicli eaiiseil il to swell so much dial I was una- I ble lo lie down, or even to recline, bul had to be ¦ propped nj) in a chair.
I had the advice of somo eminent physicians and tried nearly all the remedies used in euch ca¬ ses but continued to grow worse, and il ap- peared as though a speedy dissolution was taking place.
Afler taking your Alterative nnd Pills for three weelis lliere was a decided cliange fur thc better, so lllat when I calleil upon you, you said tbal I would get well, and ibal your ALTERATIVE would cure mc cHcctually, Willi no hopes how¬ ever, of getting well, I still conlinucd Intake your .\llcralivc, until I bad lakcn iho fourth bottle, ivbcu tlicrc wasa sudden change in my wliolc systeni, as ilioiigli 1 had got rid of some great bur. ihcn, and could draw my lircalb as usual. My iici ves gradually brcaiiie sirong, and my appelile rctiiriicd.
II bas been about limr nioiillis since I commcii- ued Iaking your Mcdirine, and iil this time* near¬ ly every ventage ofdiscase is criidieated from my nytitcm. I mil as active and nenrly as strong as ai any period of my life. 1 liavo now gained nine [.oiiiids in two ni'mllis.
I lidve good reason lo believe that lho use of* your vaiualile Medicines, by the help of God, has saved me from a picnialorc grave.

So many people are afllicied'with tbese coinmon every day disordcra, that wc deem il our duly to poinl our readers to a simple remedy, which «e have Tried and found rllieacionK. Jayne'a EX¬ FECTORANT is a very vjluable phial of syrup whiibwp have lately used wilh good efTeel in slop¬ ping a cough ai-.d loosening, and breaking op a cold. It is a very agreeable medicine. This re- commendation is nol a bought puff, but entirely voluntary. And we feel tha' we can hardly do a grcaier lavor loour readers in these days ofcheal- ing,tlian to. recommend thein as well tried, cffi- oienl remedies, especially ihosc wc have used our. selves.

Life cannot be sustained wiibout it. Il ia Ihrown off from the blood and olhor juigea of the liody.and disposes hy ihis meana of nearly all the tmpiiriticH wilhin U3. Tbe language of the Scriplure in, " in lbc BLOOD is the Life." If oicr il becomes im¬ pure It may be traced directly lo thn sioppage of the L^JSliNSIBLE PERSrilJATlON. Thus wo see all tbal is necessary when the blood ia stag- iiani or inlccted islo open tbc purcB, audit re¬ lieves itKcIf from allinipiirity instantly. Its own •heal and vitaliiy arc suflii ieni, wiihout onc parli¬ clc of medicine, ciccplti open lbc porea upon lbc surface. 1'lius wc see the folly of taking so much internal remedies. All praelitioncra howev¬ er, direct their efforts to rcslurc the insensible pcr¬ spiraiion. Thc Thompsonian foi instance, Stmms; llic Ilydriipatbisi shrouds in wcl Wnnkeln; llomo:- pathist deals out inflniolesimals; ihc Ailopaibist bloods and do»es us with mercury ; aud the blua- Icring quack gorges us with pilis. pills,pille.

In other words, if wo eal and drink eight pounds per day, we evacuate five puuiida of it by the Insensible Perspiration.
This is none olher than the used up particles of the blood, and olhcr jnices giving [ducc lo thtj new and fresh onca. To check lliia, tbcroforc.is lo retain in thc system fivc.cights of all thc viru¬ lent malter that naiure demands should lea\c the body.

I have had physicians, learned in the profession. 1 have had Minisiers oflhc Gospel, Judges oftbe bench, Aldermen, and Lawyers,' gentlemec of the highest erudition, and MULTITUDES, of thc POOR, use II in every variely of way, and there been bul onc voice—one united universal voice— saying " McAlister, yoor Oinlmenl is GOOD." CONSUMPTION. It cnn hardly bo believed ilial a salve can have any efftct upon the lungs, scaled as Ihcy are with¬ in lbc ayelem. Bul if .pisced upon the chest, it pciieiralea directly lo tbc lungs, scparatca tbc poi- .•ionuus panicles that aie consuming them, and cx- jinls tliem from the syatcm.
I need nol say llinl it ia curing pcrsons of con¬ suniplion continually, aliliough wc arc lold it is tiH>lisliness. I care not what is said, so long as we can cure several thousand persons yearly. HEADACHE The naive baa cured persons of the headache of I- years standing, and who had it regularly every week, so that vomiting oflcn took place.
Dcafiicsa and ear ache aro helped with like suc¬ cess.
COLD FEET. Consumption, liver complaint, pains in lhe chest or side, falling off of the hair, onc-or the other al- ways accompanies cold fcot. It is a sure sign uf disease in lhe system lo havo cold feci. The salve will cure CAery case. IN SCROFULA, ERYSIPELAS, S A L T- RHEU.'Vf. LIVER COMPLAINT, SOKE EYES QUlNCV, SORE THROAT, BRONCHITIS BROKEN OR SORE BItE.AST, PILES, ai.c CHEST DISEASES, seen as ASTHMA, OP¬ PRESSION. PAINS, also SORE LIPS, CHAP¬ PED HANDS, TUMORS.CUTANEOL'S ERUP TIONS, NERVOUS DIEASES, and of the SPINE iheie is probably no medicine now known so good.
BURNS. It is the best thing iu  Ihe world   for burns.— (Read tbe directions on the box.) PIMPLES   ON   THE   FACE,  MASCULINE SKIN, GROSS SURFACE. Its first artion ie lo expel all  humor,   ft will nol cease drawing lill the face  is  free fiom any mailer that may be lodged under the skin, and frc quenlly breaking out  to the  surface.     It then heals.   When  there is nolhing but  grotsness, or dull repulsive surface, it begins to solicn.and Jljt- en unlil the skin becomes ob smooth  and  delicate as a child's.
WORMS. If parenlF knew bow fatal most medicines were lo ehildren laken inwardly, Ihcy would besiow lo resort to them. Esjiecially " mercurial lozen¬ ges," called *' medicated lozenges,"''vermifuges," pills. &c. The Iruth is, noonecan loll, invaria¬ bly, when worms are preseni. Now let mc say to parenls Ihat this salve will always Icll if a child ho!" worms. It will DRIVE every vesiigcoftheni away.   (Read ibe directions around Ibe box.)
'J'liCre in probably no medicine on the face of thc earth at once so sure and so safe in the expulsion of worms.
TOILET. Although I bave said htlle about iias a Imir re¬ storative, yet I will slake il against lhe world 1 They may birng tlicir Oils far and near,^'nd mine will reslore the hair two ca-iea lo their one, OLD  SORES. That some Sores are an outlet to the impurities of lbc  sysicm, is, because they cannot pass ofl" through the  natural   channels  of the Insensible Pcrspiraiion.    If sui-li   cores arc healed   up lbc, impurities must bave some olhcr outlet, nr it   wtll endanger life.   Thissalvc will alwaya provide for surh emergencies.
RHEUMATISM. It removes almost iminediately the  innaiiialiini and swelling when ihc paiu af course ccuses. FEVERS. In all ca:cs of fever ihc   difliculiy   lies   in the in the pores being locked up, so lliat Ihe heat and pcrfpiratiun canuot pass off.   If the least moisture could bo started the crisi* lias passed and the dan¬ ger orcr.
