" Bd that," he niutlered again in an uiid' dark eye kindling faco lighting up > THE SAUCE OR ARTIST. »V JinS. M. A. DESISON. PART FIRST. •' There', now I can breathe;" exclaimed a tall tlark man, ns he flung aside hia discoloreil bruEh. and leaned heavily against a hamniock swung up beiween the decks onboard a man-of- blesaed ifl oin'i a little proud of nder tone, hia ; as be gazod, and his swarthy ,vitli sudden inspiration. A soft mellow light streamed down the hntch- wav.and glowed over n small square surface upon which w.-t.s sketched with vivid coloring, the face ofa hcauiirul infant. It waa painted on wood, the surface of which waa smoothly finished and polished ; but one indifferent to art could not he but startled at tho exceeding per fcction of the coloring, ihe sweet repose of the features, and nn infant grace, which, diffused over ilic countenance, gave it that rapt expres¬ sion which the faco of on unconscious babe sometimes assumes. " Ilulloa, my boy.juBt in time !" exclaimed ihe aailor roughly, lifiing his noble head, and ex¬ posing beneath the rim of his blue collar, a neck almost as white os enow. " Now be off wilh you," he continued, placing the picture in the hands of a small timid-looking lad, " and see if you can't make a better bargain than you did wilh my last. I'm going ashore tO'morrow, and 1 mean to have a spree and no mistake." " Jack, that spreeing will be the death of you yet," said a small sprightly lar, as he sprang from the hammock where he had been napping, " it's loo bad to sec a fine icllow like you going lo ruin." A frown and a half muttered cardo were the only reply of ihc reckless sailor. He knelt down, and gathering up the 'materials of his work ploced them away in his chest. Meanwhile, thc boy, who had been rowed ashore, took his accusioined station near ihe Ktiuarc. Through the long perspective of the sireet, the blue waters of the Mediterran¬ ean could be fjiintly seen by the vivid spar¬ kle of tiie sunshine on their calm surface.— For an hour the child stood patiently wilh the picture in his hand, holding it forth to every pas¬ ser by ; some gazed curiously, some started with astonishment, nnd all appeared to be struck with the beauty oflhe face, but none purchased. Almost discouraged, lillle Kit, as he was call¬ ed among the sailors, was aboul to give up and go to Iiis humble home Ibr his dinner, when he saw in the dLstance a gentleman coming along, accompanied by a beauiiiul young Indy, and feel¬ ing a sort of presi-niiment iliai they would be customers, he placed the picture in tho beat light, and anxiously awaited iheir coming. As ihey drew near, and cauglit sight of ihe painting, ihey moved more slowly, and finally stopped di- lectly in fiom ol little Kit. •• Why, Henry," exclaimed the sweet looking girl, in slow, measured and surprised lones, " it is the very image of sister's liltle Alice; who could have known ' who could liave painted ibis?" " It is indeed a moal surprising likeness," said her companion abstractedly, "yet whal a holy i'ace—it has the expression hers wore just before she died ; do you remember ?" " Pcrlectly, little dading!" whispered ihe maiden softly and tenderly, while her eyes were lilled wilh tears; "it eeonis as if she was before ua now." *'It is a very superior painiing." murmured the gentleman, scrutinizing it more closely ; "¦where did you get it, boy," he inquired, look¬ ing suspiciously at the child. *' Jack Haliday gave it to me lo sell for liim," replied Kit; " ijc says Jie is going on a spree lo- morrow," he added artlessly. *' Who is Jack Haliday V " Why, a man-of-war's man on board ihe Falcon, lying out there in the stream." " How came he by it, I wonder ?" continued the gentleman, taking up the picture to examine " Oh, he made it," said tbe boy carelessly " Humph !" c.-iclaimed the genlleman, " he must be a rare sailor. How much docs he ask jor it, boy V '* I sold the lasi one for five dollars ; he wanta me to gel seven for this, aud not let it go under, was the reply, "Well," said thc gentleman, taking out his purse, " if he is calculating on a fine spree out ofthe money, five is enough ; but I'll give you seven for it, as it resembles very much a little relative of ours who has lately died. You can come along wilh us to our boarding place, and bring it—it is but a square ofl'." " I don't half believe the hoy," he continued in a lower tone to lho lady, " but Frank is sec¬ ond lieutenant on thc Falcon, you know, and as we are to vi^it ihe ship tomorrow by his re- fjueat, I can find out if there is such a famous painter a.i Jack Haliday in thc service." Busy preparations were in progress on board lho Falcon. Music, banners and streamers of many a gay color, aliernately attracted and de¬ lighted the attemion. The crew hod been hard at work, (for company was expected aboard,) and were now " rigged om" in their best attire ; the officers -ivore full uniform, walking ihe spot¬ less upper deck of the proud vessel, one of them in close converge wiih Kmeline M'Pherson and her brother. He wag the second lieutenant oi the Falcon, and cousin to the lovely Emeline, and he had urged them to come earlier thon the der Ihought came tears lo hia eyea. The beaoti- ful girl saw his emotion, and she looked earnest- ty upon him os if her heart was replying to his thought; and then she exclaimed impulsively, " If you could only study now-study and travel. why don't you. You wonld moat certainly auc- ceed—you would make a great painter, I'm sure." Again that quick bright thought of intellect passed over the sailor's face, but he eould not reply ; a strange emotion took from him the pow¬ er of speech, his blood coursed wildly ihrough his veins, and he was forced to steady himself againat the huge chest, that the quivering of his frame might not be noticed. Mists passed be¬ fore his eyea, succeeded by visions of unearthly beauty, and then came burning thoughts of his own frequent disErocB. Memory stirred up the yearninge of his boyhood, when he so often sal in hta lowly home and dreamed of fame.drearaa lhat when he told thera awakened no sympathy, only derision and the cruel laugh of scorn, and now an aneel had said to him—he had heard from tho Iipe ot the purest and sweetest being he had ever aeen, '* You wiil make a great painter, I am sure." Faintly the voicea commenting on his graceful performances rang in his oars, almoat uncon sciously he listened as the lieutenant took some of his sketches and told him he would bring back whotevcr sum he obtained for them—his eyes followed the sweet girlish figure of Emeline as she left tho deck, abstractedly, but his whole soul was with her; she had stirred fountains in his soul whoso waters had never before been (roublfid, her artless and earnest encouragement had made him a raan, had put high and glorioua resolves into his strong heart, and he was free from Ihe * hraldora of his slavish appetite, fcrever. All day Jack Haliday sat listless, and appar¬ ently absorbed in thought, when not attending to his special duiies. At sunset some ofthe crew were making preparations to go ashore, having obtained twenty-four hours release. " Where is Jack !" was the universal ques¬ tion asthe boat was in readiness and Halidy did not appear. '* Don't know," answered one of ihem, " he has been dumpish enough all day, hardly spo¬ ken a work. Go after him, some of you, we can't get along without Brandy Jack ; he'll stand a treat longer than any fellow I ever knew." There was a universal dismay when Jack calmly eaid, " I ahall slay on board;" and what made the refusal seem more singular was, he had his hands full of money. The second lieu¬ tenant had procured forty dollars for his sketch es among the campany of wealthy families that had graced the splendid dinner-table of ihe Fal¬ con. Oh ! Jack Haliday made a famous resolve over those forty dollars. In three months he was free from the Falcon; and in thai limo not a drop of liquor or an oath had passed between his lips. PART SECOND. You say you have the original of thia paint¬ ing," exclaimed a gray-hoired man, to a tall, stately, foreign-looking artist; "will yoli do me the favor to show it to me f" The young man rather reluctantly moved to the side closet, and opening the door, look from a shelf an ancient picture, the design of which could be just discerned through smoke and the tinge of time. His visitor stretched out his hand nervously, and grasped the painting; "How much, how much," he eagerly exclaimed, after examining it closely, "willyou tako for this?" " I cannot sell it," coldly replied the artisl.— " I will give four hundred for it," the old man aaid hesitatingly. " Four thousand could not buy it," waa ihe prompt reply. " Pshaw! I will give you two ihoaand." Tte painter shook his head. " Four thousand," " Lord Elgin haa already oflered me five thousand." "Ha! put it down then at six ihou.^and. I will pay you in caah." " 1 know it is of great valuo," replied the ar¬ tist, " because it is the only work extant of the king, and is the production of one of the old masters. I am ambitious to keep it in my pos¬ session, and although I am not wealthy, as I lell you, noihing will tempt me to part with it at present," " Very well," said tho old gentleman, bend¬ ing his tall tiguro to scrutinize the painting again, " then I suppoae I must be contented with the copy. You will do me the favorio call on me this evening as you promised. My niece, who is by birth an American lady, has ollen wished to be introduced to her talented countryman " The artiat bowed assent, and his patron lefi him. Edwin Alger strode rapidly back and forth in his richly furnished studio. His mind waa far from his occupation, allhough every few mo¬ ments he would cease his walk and change the position of a staiue, that the light might fall on il mora softly, or trace lho imaginary line of beauty with his finger upon the half covered canvas that atood in ihe centre of the room. " Yes, I am exalted—I, iho once neglected sailor—thc poor man-of-war's man," he murmur¬ ed audibly ' " I am comparatively independent, and had I some object for which to labor I might coin wcakh. But I am alone, and destined to be forever, for I cannot love—and yet my dream," he exclaimed suddenly, "why should ilnotbo fulfilled?" A gay party in Pemherton nquaro awaitedim- paliently ihe entrance of Edwin Alger, whose few but choice productiona in the late exhibition had elicited almost extravagant admiration.— Sir Edward Perkins, tho old baronet in whose I houae they had assembled, aat near tho blazing yet joyful expression—there! tbat ia it, how your eyes flaab again—I wish I could think." '* Be thinking, ray dear, while I leave you for a law momenis," he replied as he lefi tbo room. In a short lime a servant came to tell her ihat her husband wished her to copio into the little east room. It waa a favorite, cosy place, where tho newly married pair often sat together over¬ looking the Thames, with its burdens of trea¬ sures. As she opened the door, she fairly screamed wilh astonishment; the room had been ingeni¬ ously filled up so that it resembled a portion of a ship ; thai great oaken cheat waa paraded whh open lid against the wall, and there stood Jack Haliday, a tarpaulin on his head, and a navy collar, worked wiih white stars, thrown from his finely moulded thront. " My husband '. can it be possible ? " exclaim¬ ed Emeline, springing forward and falling on his bosom ; " now I remember all." " Bui now, my precious wife, I can truly tell you how much I love you, and the great work you have done forme. But for your beautiful smile, but for your sweci encouragement, I might to day have been living a dishonorable life, or filling a dishonorable grave; but those dear words, * you will make a great painter, lom suro,' hav3 been my excelsior from the day I met you." " But your name, Edwin ; I remember now, they called you Jack Haliday." " It wos not my real name ; I would not dis¬ grace that which had never been dishonored by my ancestors. Emeline arc you sorry you mar- ried the poor sailor I " "Not the poor sailor," said the fond wile, looking up lovingly into his face, " but the real end true nobleman ; thc man to whom God has given wonderful genius—one ihst can create beauties where chaos exiated before, and atamp his name imperishably upon tho scroll of his na¬ tion's fame." " Thank you, my wife, for your eloquent com¬ pliment ; I will strive to merit it; and with such a companion, how can I but reach the high standard of excellence which I hove long ago marked out for myself." And Emeline never regretted her choice ; her husband is one of the gifted of the land, and poeis have sung his praise. Has she not reason to bless ihe day that she gave one lofty soulauch an impetus by a word of kindness, that he rose from real degradation to immortal honors ? Adam's Fall. Mr. White, the temperance lecturer, during his visits to Mobile last spring told the following anecdote in one of hia addresses, to illustrate the inlluence of a bad example in the formation ol habits ruinous in their effect : Adam ond Mary his wife who lived in one of the old Stales, were very good members of the church, good sort of folks any woy, and Mary ihought a great deal of the minister, and the minister thought a good deal of a glass of good toddy. Whenever the minister called to mako Mary a visit, which waa preiiy often, ahe contrived (o have him a glass of toddy made, and the minister never refused the toddy. After awhile Adam got to following ihe example of the minister to sucli an exteni that he become a drunkard— dnink up every thing ho had and all he could get. Mary and he became very poor in conse¬ quence of his following ihe minister's example 30 closely, but the good minister continued his visits, and poor Mary continued still to give the glass of toddy. One day he called in and told Mary that he was going away for a week—should return on Friday—and handed her a book con¬ taining the catechism, and told her when he re¬ turned he should expect she would be able lo answer some of ihe queations. Mary says yes, and laid the book away very carefully. But Mary like a good many other church members, thought no more of her book until the very Fri¬ day that the good minister was to return. "What shall I do," says she, " the minisier is to be here to-day and I have not looked in the book he gave me. How can I answer the ques¬ tions ?" Icau tell you," said Adam, "give me a quorterand let me go over to Smith's and get some good rum, and you cau answer his ques¬ tion with toddy." Mary look the advice—gave Adam a quarUr and a jug, end ofi" he storied. After gelling his bottle filled, and on his way back, Adam con eluded to taste the rum. One taste brought on another, until be stumbled over a pile of rock." and broke the jug and lost all the rum. But Adam managed lo stagger homo. Ae eoon as he got in the house, Mary inquired anxiously for thc bottle of rum. " Where is the bottle of rum, Adam ?" Poor Adam managed to stammer out " that he had stumbled over a pile of rocks and broke the bottle and lost the rum." Mary waa in a fi.x—Adam drunk—the minister coming—the rum gone—and the questions un¬ learned : "But here comes the minister! It would'm do for the man of God to seo Adam drunk," so she, for the want of a better place to hide him sent him under the bed. By the lime he was fairly under, in came the minisier. Af¬ ter Bitting a few moments he asked Mary if she ihoiifihl she could answer the question. "How did Adam fall ?" Mary turned her head, first one way, and then anoiher, finally she stammered out. "He fel over a pile of rocks/" It was now thc minister's turn to look blank, but he ventured another question, "Whero did he hide himself alter hia fall /" ^'Undcr the bed, sir.''* There, Adam, you may come out, he knows all about it. The good minister retired-noi even waiting for a glass of toddy. 'NOTE THE BRIGHT HOURS ONLY.' A lesson in itself sublimOj A lesson wortli enshriniug. la thia—** I take no hoed of tima.

'* By tbe way," exclaimed Henry I\rPhcr- Mon, alter a short chat, " have you a sailor on hoard by the name of Haliday ?" " Haliday i Oh yes, an eccentric genius and noble fellow, loo, in the bargain—only he is such an incorrigible drunkard. The man has talents that would give him position and influence in any Buciety; he is a scholar, reading Latin, German and Porlugese fluently; lie is a gentleman in manners and habits, when himself, and yet an unforiunaie failing cribs him down to the fore¬ castle and a tarpaulin. Poor Jack! I wiah in my heart he had permitted Providence to make him what ii dof igned, a stalesman or a hero, one or ihe olber I am sure." " I bought a piilurc lhat wos his work, I sup pDsc, yesterday,"' " Andifyoudid,yon boughl no common place daub—our cabin walls will convince you of his talents. On our last long voyage, he really did wonders in the way of painting. His time is up m a few mnnths ; I am sorry while I am glad- sorry that lie will have unlimited freedom for that appetite of bis, and glad to aee him eman¬ cipated from thc thraldom of a sailor's life on a man-of-war. I wish he was my broihor; spite of his failing, 1 should be proud of him." "I should like to see him," said'Emeline timidly, looking full upon her cousin's face with her dark blue eye, and blushing as maidens of sixteen ao quickly do." " You shall, cousin," replied the lieuienani; and turning to ihe purser, who was jusi passing, he said, "Tell the boatswain to order up Jack I ilaliday," In a few moments the sailor appeared, and bowing with all thc grace of a finished gentle¬ man, he touched bis hai to his superior oflicer, and stood wilh hia eyea riveted upon tho fair Emeline. " Have you ony sketches or painting down below ?" asked ihe lieutenant, carelessly. "A few, sir," replied Jock, his high hold brow flushing, and a transient light making his dark eyes glitter as he obsoiTred the interest with which Emeline, almost unconsciously, regarded him. " Bring tbem up here, will yoQ, Haliday ?—or Etay. Emeline, moybo you would like to go be ' tween decks, and see whero the aailors live; let me conduct you. Jack, gat your drawings ready for .nspectton perhaps you will fmd a market for some of them,"-and ihe three gaily went below. ^ •' vl^^di/t r ^'''' '^'^'" ""'^'^ Emeline de¬ lightedly, holding up to the light a Swiss Home scene;" why it is puch, very much better than the one that my drawing-mosier finished yester¬ day, and he ia considered a superior artist, too " These words of commendation from such fair lips made the heart ofthe neglected sailor jump in his bosom. " God blesa. her," he thought again and agahi, though he did not dare to say so .]«„ J ..

" I declare to you, ray love, I would give al¬ most my whole fortune lo possess it, for I see by an ancient illuminated manuscript which I have, that it ia by a Fleming master—his name has passed from my memory now—by the de¬ scription I om certain thai I muat be correct. I only hope young Alger will not be bribed by Lord Elgin to part with it to him ; he bos already a superb collection." At thai instant the door was opened, and the expected Alger announced. Thc young lady was introduced ; a glad, frank smile lighted up her features as she held forth her hand. The artist turned deathly pale, for a momeni the- room Bwam around and bis brain reeled—in this beautiful being he had recognized sweet Eme¬ line M'Pherson, but she had forgotten him.— Nevertheless, she was struck with his appear¬ ance—more interested than she had ever been before in a stranger—and when they parted there was a sweetness in her farewell, end a sud¬ den tinge on her fair cheek that gave glorious dreams to the slumbers of the young artist thai night. Weeks and months passed by, ond Alger had won the lair American. It only needed the con¬ sent of her proud uncle to moke them the most blessed of mortals, " So you are slill stubborn," soid the old bar¬ onet one day, alluding to the picture—" you will noi part with il?" " Give me the price I ask, ond it is yours," said Alger- *' Name it, young man," exclaimed ihe baro¬ net, eagerly grasping hira by the shoulder. " The hand of your niece," whjapered Alger, hardly above his breath." " -^^ "nexpected honor, truly," said the bar¬ onet heartily; "my:dear sir, take her-I shall be proud ofthe connexion; so young, so suc¬ cessful who knows to what height you may ascend ? She is too republican to marry a title, and if you love her, why wed her-but wher. ever you go, remember, I claim the picture." It was not long before a wedding took place at tbo baronet's princely mansion, and Alger being strongly pressed to prolong his atay in Lon¬ don, consented lopass a few yeara mora among those who had eo weli appreciated hia genius. Riches poured into his coffers ; his -wife was fortune," as it is termed, but to him a fortune in herself alone. Why do you wear euch a puzzled look, my dear?" he asked Emeline one day, as she sat gazing Btrangely at hun. ** Why, ever eince I knew you," she replied, " fhere has been at times an expression on your face that reminds me of something, I can't re¬ member what, if you can make that out," she added, laughingly. Her husband smiled mysteriously. " Something that must have.hBpponad when I was very young, is connected with lhat singular 05-1 pity the unbeliever. Ho sees nothing above, around, or beneath him, that evinces the existence of o God; he denies—yen, while standing on the footstool of Omnipotoncc, and while gazing upon the dazzling throne of ihc Eternal, he shuts hia intellect to the light ol reason, and denies tuere is a God-—CAaZmcrj. To talk in private, to think in sohlude, to in¬ quire or answer inquiries, is the buainess ofa scholar. He wanders about the world wilhout pomp or terror ; and is neither known nor valued but by men like himself. Beauty is a servant who never omits an office to us lor want of our bidding, The social feelinga have not been unaptly compared to a dark heap of embers, which when separated, eoon languish, darken, and expire ; but placed together, ihey glow with a ruddy and intense heat. Verse is like a pair of skates, wiih which a man can fly lightly over tho smooth, shining sur¬ face of the ideal, but stumbles horribly on an ordinary road. He that is lillle in his own eyes, will not be troubled to be thought so in others. Women are formed for attachment. Their graiiiudc is unimpeachable. Their lovo is an unceasing fountain of delight to the man who has once attained, and knows how to deserve it. He who oppresses honesty never had nny. There is no necesshy of being led through the several fields of knowledge ; ii will be sufficient to gather some of the fairest fruit from them all; and to lay up a store of good sense ; sound rea¬ son, and Bond virtue. One philosopher is worth a thousand gram- manans. Good sense and reason ought Io be the umpire ofall rules, both ancienl and modern. Obscurity in writing is commonly an argu¬ ment of darkness in the mind; the greotest learning is to be seen in the greatest plainness. If I study, saya Montaigne, it is for no other science than what treats of the knowledge of myself, and inalructa me to live and die well. The most reaplendent ornament of man is judgment ; here is tho perfection of his innate reason; hero ia the utmost power of reason joined with knowledge. There is nothing purer ihan honesty ; nothing sweeter thon charity ; nothing warmer than love ; noihing brighter than virtue ; and nothing more steadfast than faiih. These united in one mind, form the purest, tho sweetest, the flfchest, ihe brightest, the holiest, and most ateadfaat happi. nesff. Many yeara ago in a pleasant village ot New England, lived the little girl whose true story I am obout lo relate—Lizzie Stone, the only daughter of the milier. Lizzie was a child whom everybody loved ; not only because ahe was so pretty, lively and intelligent, but for her being so sweet, gentle ond peaceable—so truly good. Lizzie hod two brothers, o few yeara older ihon herself, who were very fond of her, ond of whom she wna very fond. These three children always weni 0 school and to church together, and played in perfect agreement. It happened that one sunny autumn ofiernoon they had a viait from two little cousins, who lived obout a mile distant. They hnd a wild, joyous lime; they played in the yard, in ihe barn, and all over the house. Mrs. Slone, who was a kind, pleasant woman, looked on ond laughed, if she did not mingle in their sport.— Sho got them a nice early tea by themselves ; and when thc visitors, alter one last merry game, were about leaving, she aaid to Lizzie— Your brothers will go homo with Alice ond Celia. You moy go with them os far as tha mill; bui be sure to slop there, and come home with your faiher," As the cousins set out, laughing and frolick¬ ing alonw, Mrs. Stone stood in the Hule front portico of her collage, looking after them aa they went down ihe lane, and thinking what handsome, and happy, and above all, what good children they were. She smiled nt Lizzie's af¬ fectionate way of taking leave of her, though she was to be gone but a short time. Lizzie never parted from her moiher, even for a half hour, without kissing her lovingly and bidding her good-bye in a voice aa sweet and lender as the cooing ofa dove. Now, as Mrs. Stone went into the house, she said softly to herself, "It is nearly ten years since God gave me lhat child, and she hos never yet caused me one moment's sorrow." The cousins played so much along the road, and stopped so often to pick flowers and berries, that it woa nearly dark when they reached the mill. Then, when the girls camo to part, ihey had yet so many things to tell each other, so many invitations lo give, so many good-byes to aay, it was no wonder that they lingered awhile. It seemed thot Lizzie could not let her cou¬ sins go. She parted from tbem in her loving way, so many times, that her brother grew a little impatient, and George, the eldest said— "Why, sisier, I don't see but that Ned and I will have to help you in your kissing, or you'll never get through." Then Alice and Celia, blushing and laughing, broke away from their couains, and ran fast down a litilo hill towards their liomo. The boya soon overtook them; and Lizzie after wot cli¬ ng the group awhile, and thinking how good was God to give her such amiable couains, such noble brothers, and such dear parent to love, turned and was almost frightened by the din the mill made, and by the darkness, for night was fast coming on. She called her fother's name ; he answered; but the machinery made so much noise that she did not hear. Thinking that he had already gone, ehe turned out to go home alone. She took a way she had often safely taken, over the flume, by the great water-wheel- But lo-nighi she was bewildered—lost her fooi- iog, and fell off on tho wheel, which whirled her down, crushing and tearing her in a allocking manner! It happened ihat just at that moment her faiher, thinking that Lizzie, had been sent to call him horae stopped the mill, and began to search for her. Led by her cries ho came to the wheel, and there found what had occurred. " Are you bodly hurt, my daughter?" he aak¬ ed in great grief and terror. "Yea, father. I seem to bo crushed to pie¬ cea, and I cannot stir; but I think I shall live till you get me out. Leave me here and go for help." The neighborhood wa.iaoon roused, and many men hurried with saws and axes to the mill.— But they found that only one or two could work at a time.in cutting away the strong, heavy tim¬ bers, and that it would be some hours before Lizzie could be taken from the cruel place where she was held so fuel, and crushed so dreadfully; and theysaid that to move the wheel backward or forward might kill her at once. When iMrs. Stone came, one ot the men let down o light into thc wheel, so that she could aee her poor child. When ahe saw Lizzie's white face, and the bleeding arms held towards her, she shrieked and cried bitterly. But Liz¬ zie called up to her as sweetly and cheerfully as she had ever spoken in her life and said— "Don't cry, moiher ! Thoy will get me out before long ; keep up good courage, nnd pray lo God for me." And so she continued lo talk, hour after hour, whilo the men kept cutting and sawing at ihe great timbers; so she cheered and comforted the parenis, and her poor brothers, when they too came to the mill. Once her voice grew very low and indistinct —then il ceased altogether; the'doctor looked down, and said she had fainiod nway, and they sprinkled water upon her. As soon as ahe* re¬ vived, she began again to say comforting things, and to beg her mother not to cry. She said she did not suffer so much pain ns at first and thot she was sure she ehould livo to be carried home- It wus nearly midnight when thc last limber that held her was sawed away, and a workman lifted her gently up, and laid hor in her lather's armg. Tho pain of being removed caused tbe poor child to faint agaiuand she did not revive until sho bad been carried home. When she opened her eyes she found herself on her own little bed, with her dear father and mother and brothers at her side. Tlio doctor carefully dressed Lizzie's wounds, and gave her some opium lo make her sleep; but he told her father and mother that she could not possibly get well. When he heard tho dread words, Mr. Stone gi^oaned; and covered his faco with his hands; and for n few moments Mra. Slone leaned her head on her husband's shoulder, and cried. Then, lifiing her eyes and clasping her hands, sho said, " Thy will, oh ! Lord, be done !'' and went and sat dow n calmly by Lizzie's sido, and watched her till she slept. The poor Hitlo girl remained sleeping most of ing there ia beautiful singing. Yet it seema to nie, I shall bear no voice so sweet aa yours, mamma. Why do you cry 7 Only think, mam- ma,ifl should live,now, how crooked and sick¬ ly I should be. I might be a poor bunch-back, j and give a great deal of trouble and sorrow to you all. Will it not be better to bury up this crushed body and let tho pleasant grass grow over it, and have a now glorious body, such as tho angels hove. Aa she spoke these words she smiled, and did not weep ; but when, afterwards, she askgd for a fahhful house-dog, and her pretty Maltese kitten, and they were brought lo her, she buret into tears. "Good-bye, old Bose! good-bye, Kitty !" she said. "I cry, mamma, to part from these, because I never, never shall see them again; for they have no souls, poor things!— ut you and papa will come to Heaven before many years ; and you, too, brothers, if you are good boya." "A little while after this, she soid " Georgie, give my love to Alice and Celia, and lell them I am glad I kissed them ao many timea laat night. Eddie—take care of my flowers, and boys don't miss me too much in your play." After lying very quiet some moments, she again spoke, ond saiJ : 'Mamma, are the shutters open and has the morning come very brightly ?" "No my daughter," her mother answered, I is slill dark night." "Oh, then, said Lizzie, it must be the win¬ dows of God'a beauiiful palace I see, with the pleasant light shining through. I am uimoat there! Good-bye, mamma, and papo and brothers, good-bye !" And, with a amile spread over her face, Lizzie stretched out her arms, looked upward and died! When Lizzie lay in her coffin, lhat amile was on her aweet face still—brighter and purer ihaa the white rosea that lay upon her pillow—and Mrs. Stone tried not to let her tears fall upon it; for she said, " God has taken back a little angel He lent to me for a few years, and why should I weep for my happy child I" M^^^+C MISERIES.

TiiF, Evil of a Bad Temper.—A had temper is a curse to tho possessor, nnd i:s influence is most deadly wherever ir is found. It is allied to martyrdom to be obliged to lire with one of a complaining temper. To hear one eternal round of complaint and murmuring, to have every pleasant ihought scared away by their evil spir¬ it, is a sore trial. It is Hke the sling of a scor¬ pion—a perpetual neitle, destroying your peace, rendering life a burthen. Its infiuenco is most deadly ; and the purestandsveetesl atmosphere is contaminated into a deadly miasma wherever this evil genius prevails. It has been aaid and truly, that whilo we ought not to let the bad temper of others influence us, it would be as un¬ reasonable to spread a plnatei ot Spanish flies upon the skin, and not expect il to draw, as to ihink ofa family not aufiering because ofthe bad lemper of any of ita inmates. One string out of lune will destroy the music of an instru¬ ment otherwise perfect; so, if all the members of n church, neighborhood and family, do not cultivate a kind and affeclionate temper, there will be discord and every evil work.

A young man who allows himself to uae one profane or vulgar word, has not only shown that there is a foul spot on his mind, but by the utterance of that word he ex¬ tends that spot and inflames it, till by indulgence, it will soon pollute and ruin the whole soul. Be careful of your words, os weli as your thoughts. If you can control iho tongue, that no improper words aro pronounced by ii, you will soon be able to control the mind and save that from cor¬ ruption. You extinguish lho firo by smothering it, or by preventing bad thoughts bursting out in language. Never utler a word any where, which you would be ashamed lo speak in pres¬ ence of the most refined female, or the most re¬ ligious man. Try this praciice a little, and you will soon have command of yourself. PnDPER AoE TO Marry.—What will iho la¬ dies say to the following remarks of Dr. James Johnson, in a work recently publiahed, entitled " Economy of Health?" " The most proper nge for entering the holy bonds of matrimony has been discussed but nev¬ er eetiled.. I am entitled to my opinion; and allhough I cannot here give the grounds on which it rests, the reader may take il for granted, lhat I could adduce, were ihis the proper place, a great number of reasons, both moral and phy¬ sical, for the dogma I am aboul to propound.— The maxim, then, which I would inculcate, is this—lhat mairimony should not be contracted before the first year of the fourth Septenniad, on ihe pan of females, nor before the last year ofthe same in lho casa oflhe male; in other words, tho female should be at least twenty-one, ond tho male twenty-eight years old. That there should bo seven years difierence between ihc Dges of tho sexes, at whatever period of life thc Eolomn coniract is eniered upon, need not be urged, aa il is universally admitted there ia a difibrenee of seven years, not in tho actual du* ration of life in the two sesea, but in the stami¬ na of lho constitution—the symmetry of the form, and the lineamenta of tho face."

dark eye kindling
faco lighting up >
THE SAUCE OR ARTIST.
»V JinS. M. A. DESISON.
PART FIRST.
•' There', now I can breathe;" exclaimed a tall tlark man, ns he flung aside hia discoloreil bruEh. and leaned heavily against a hamniock swung up beiween the decks onboard a man-of- blesaed ifl oin'i a little proud of nder tone, hia ; as be gazod, and his swarthy ,vitli sudden inspiration.
A soft mellow light streamed down the hntch- wav.and glowed over n small square surface upon which w.-t.s sketched with vivid coloring, the face ofa hcauiirul infant. It waa painted on wood, the surface of which waa smoothly finished and polished ; but one indifferent to art could not he but startled at tho exceeding per fcction of the coloring, ihe sweet repose of the features, and nn infant grace, which, diffused over ilic countenance, gave it that rapt expres¬ sion which the faco of on unconscious babe sometimes assumes.
" Ilulloa, my boy.juBt in time !" exclaimed ihe aailor roughly, lifiing his noble head, and ex¬ posing beneath the rim of his blue collar, a neck almost as white os enow. " Now be off wilh you," he continued, placing the picture in the hands of a small timid-looking lad, " and see if you can't make a better bargain than you did wilh my last. I'm going ashore tO'morrow, and 1 mean to have a spree and no mistake."
" Jack, that spreeing will be the death of you yet," said a small sprightly lar, as he sprang from the hammock where he had been napping, " it's loo bad to sec a fine icllow like you going lo ruin."
A frown and a half muttered cardo were the only reply of ihc reckless sailor. He knelt down, and gathering up the 'materials of his work ploced them away in his chest.
Meanwhile, thc boy, who had been rowed ashore, took his accusioined station near ihe Ktiuarc. Through the long perspective of the sireet, the blue waters of the Mediterran¬ ean could be fjiintly seen by the vivid spar¬ kle of tiie sunshine on their calm surface.— For an hour the child stood patiently wilh the picture in his hand, holding it forth to every pas¬ ser by ; some gazed curiously, some started with astonishment, nnd all appeared to be struck with the beauty oflhe face, but none purchased.
Almost discouraged, lillle Kit, as he was call¬ ed among the sailors, was aboul to give up and go to Iiis humble home Ibr his dinner, when he saw in the dLstance a gentleman coming along, accompanied by a beauiiiul young Indy, and feel¬ ing a sort of presi-niiment iliai they would be customers, he placed the picture in tho beat light, and anxiously awaited iheir coming. As ihey drew near, and cauglit sight of ihe painting, ihey moved more slowly, and finally stopped di- lectly in fiom ol little Kit.
•• Why, Henry," exclaimed the sweet looking girl, in slow, measured and surprised lones, " it is the very image of sister's liltle Alice; who could have known ' who could liave painted ibis?"
" It is indeed a moal surprising likeness," said her companion abstractedly, "yet whal a holy i'ace—it has the expression hers wore just before she died ; do you remember ?"
" Pcrlectly, little dading!" whispered ihe maiden softly and tenderly, while her eyes were lilled wilh tears; "it eeonis as if she was before ua now."
*'It is a very superior painiing." murmured the gentleman, scrutinizing it more closely ; "¦where did you get it, boy," he inquired, look¬ ing suspiciously at the child.
*' Jack Haliday gave it to me lo sell for liim," replied Kit; " ijc says Jie is going on a spree lo- morrow," he added artlessly.
*' Who is Jack Haliday V
" Why, a man-of-war's man on board ihe Falcon, lying out there in the stream."
" How came he by it, I wonder ?" continued the gentleman, taking up the picture to examine
" Oh, he made it," said tbe boy carelessly
" Humph !" c.-iclaimed the genlleman, " he must be a rare sailor. How much docs he ask jor it, boy V
'* I sold the lasi one for five dollars ; he wanta me to gel seven for this, aud not let it go under, was the reply,
"Well," said thc gentleman, taking out his purse, " if he is calculating on a fine spree out ofthe money, five is enough ; but I'll give you seven for it, as it resembles very much a little relative of ours who has lately died. You can come along wilh us to our boarding place, and bring it—it is but a square ofl'."
" I don't half believe the hoy," he continued in a lower tone to lho lady, " but Frank is sec¬ ond lieutenant on thc Falcon, you know, and as we are to vi^it ihe ship tomorrow by his re- fjueat, I can find out if there is such a famous painter a.i Jack Haliday in thc service."
Busy preparations were in progress on board lho Falcon. Music, banners and streamers of many a gay color, aliernately attracted and de¬ lighted the attemion. The crew hod been hard at work, (for company was expected aboard,) and were now " rigged om" in their best attire ; the officers -ivore full uniform, walking ihe spot¬ less upper deck of the proud vessel, one of them in close converge wiih Kmeline M'Pherson and her brother. He wag the second lieutenant oi the Falcon, and cousin to the lovely Emeline, and he had urged them to come earlier thon the
der Ihought came tears lo hia eyea. The beaoti- ful girl saw his emotion, and she looked earnest- ty upon him os if her heart was replying to his thought; and then she exclaimed impulsively, " If you could only study now-study and travel. why don't you. You wonld moat certainly auc- ceed—you would make a great painter, I'm sure."
Again that quick bright thought of intellect passed over the sailor's face, but he eould not reply ; a strange emotion took from him the pow¬ er of speech, his blood coursed wildly ihrough his veins, and he was forced to steady himself againat the huge chest, that the quivering of his frame might not be noticed. Mists passed be¬ fore his eyea, succeeded by visions of unearthly beauty, and then came burning thoughts of his own frequent disErocB. Memory stirred up the yearninge of his boyhood, when he so often sal in hta lowly home and dreamed of fame.drearaa lhat when he told thera awakened no sympathy, only derision and the cruel laugh of scorn, and now an aneel had said to him—he had heard from tho Iipe ot the purest and sweetest being he had ever aeen, '* You wiil make a great painter, I am sure."
Faintly the voicea commenting on his graceful performances rang in his oars, almoat uncon sciously he listened as the lieutenant took some of his sketches and told him he would bring back whotevcr sum he obtained for them—his eyes followed the sweet girlish figure of Emeline as she left tho deck, abstractedly, but his whole soul was with her; she had stirred fountains in his soul whoso waters had never before been (roublfid, her artless and earnest encouragement had made him a raan, had put high and glorioua resolves into his strong heart, and he was free from Ihe * hraldora of his slavish appetite, fcrever. All day Jack Haliday sat listless, and appar¬ ently absorbed in thought, when not attending to his special duiies. At sunset some ofthe crew were making preparations to go ashore, having obtained twenty-four hours release.
" Where is Jack !" was the universal ques¬ tion asthe boat was in readiness and Halidy did not appear.
'* Don't know," answered one of ihem, " he has been dumpish enough all day, hardly spo¬ ken a work. Go after him, some of you, we can't get along without Brandy Jack ; he'll stand a treat longer than any fellow I ever knew."
There was a universal dismay when Jack calmly eaid, " I ahall slay on board;" and what made the refusal seem more singular was, he had his hands full of money. The second lieu¬ tenant had procured forty dollars for his sketch es among the campany of wealthy families that had graced the splendid dinner-table of ihe Fal¬ con.
Oh ! Jack Haliday made a famous resolve over those forty dollars.
In three months he was free from the Falcon; and in thai limo not a drop of liquor or an oath had passed between his lips.
PART SECOND. You say you have the original of thia paint¬ ing," exclaimed a gray-hoired man, to a tall, stately, foreign-looking artist; "will yoli do me the favor to show it to me f"
The young man rather reluctantly moved to the side closet, and opening the door, look from a shelf an ancient picture, the design of which could be just discerned through smoke and the tinge of time.
His visitor stretched out his hand nervously, and grasped the painting; "How much, how much," he eagerly exclaimed, after examining it closely, "willyou tako for this?"
" I cannot sell it," coldly replied the artisl.—
" I will give four hundred for it," the old man aaid hesitatingly.
" Four thousand could not buy it," waa ihe prompt reply.
" Pshaw! I will give you two ihoaand."
Tte painter shook his head.
" Four thousand,"
" Lord Elgin haa already oflered me five thousand."
"Ha! put it down then at six ihou.^and. I will pay you in caah."
" 1 know it is of great valuo," replied the ar¬ tist, " because it is the only work extant of the king, and is the production of one of the old masters. I am ambitious to keep it in my pos¬ session, and although I am not wealthy, as I lell you, noihing will tempt me to part with it at present,"
" Very well," said tho old gentleman, bend¬ ing his tall tiguro to scrutinize the painting again, " then I suppoae I must be contented with the copy. You will do me the favorio call on me this evening as you promised. My niece, who is by birth an American lady, has ollen wished to be introduced to her talented countryman "
The artiat bowed assent, and his patron lefi him.
Edwin Alger strode rapidly back and forth in his richly furnished studio. His mind waa far from his occupation, allhough every few mo¬ ments he would cease his walk and change the position of a staiue, that the light might fall on il mora softly, or trace lho imaginary line of beauty with his finger upon the half covered canvas that atood in ihe centre of the room.
" Yes, I am exalted—I, iho once neglected sailor—thc poor man-of-war's man," he murmur¬ ed audibly ' " I am comparatively independent, and had I some object for which to labor I might coin wcakh. But I am alone, and destined to be forever, for I cannot love—and yet my dream," he exclaimed suddenly, "why should ilnotbo fulfilled?"
A gay party in Pemherton nquaro awaitedim- paliently ihe entrance of Edwin Alger, whose few but choice productiona in the late exhibition had elicited almost extravagant admiration.— Sir Edward Perkins, tho old baronet in whose I houae they had assembled, aat near tho blazing
yet joyful expression—there! tbat ia it, how your eyes flaab again—I wish I could think."
'* Be thinking, ray dear, while I leave you for a law momenis," he replied as he lefi tbo room.
In a short lime a servant came to tell her ihat her husband wished her to copio into the little east room. It waa a favorite, cosy place, where tho newly married pair often sat together over¬ looking the Thames, with its burdens of trea¬ sures.
As she opened the door, she fairly screamed wilh astonishment; the room had been ingeni¬ ously filled up so that it resembled a portion of a ship ; thai great oaken cheat waa paraded whh open lid against the wall, and there stood Jack Haliday, a tarpaulin on his head, and a navy collar, worked wiih white stars, thrown from his finely moulded thront.
" My husband '. can it be possible ? " exclaim¬ ed Emeline, springing forward and falling on his bosom ; " now I remember all."
" Bui now, my precious wife, I can truly tell you how much I love you, and the great work you have done forme. But for your beautiful smile, but for your sweci encouragement, I might to day have been living a dishonorable life, or filling a dishonorable grave; but those dear words, * you will make a great painter, lom suro,' hav3 been my excelsior from the day I met you."
" But your name, Edwin ; I remember now, they called you Jack Haliday."
" It wos not my real name ; I would not dis¬ grace that which had never been dishonored by my ancestors. Emeline arc you sorry you mar- ried the poor sailor I "
"Not the poor sailor," said the fond wile, looking up lovingly into his face, " but the real end true nobleman ; thc man to whom God has given wonderful genius—one ihst can create beauties where chaos exiated before, and atamp his name imperishably upon tho scroll of his na¬ tion's fame."
" Thank you, my wife, for your eloquent com¬ pliment ; I will strive to merit it; and with such a companion, how can I but reach the high standard of excellence which I hove long ago marked out for myself."
And Emeline never regretted her choice ; her husband is one of the gifted of the land, and poeis have sung his praise. Has she not reason to bless ihe day that she gave one lofty soulauch an impetus by a word of kindness, that he rose from real degradation to immortal honors ?
Adam's Fall. Mr. White, the temperance lecturer, during his visits to Mobile last spring told the following anecdote in one of hia addresses, to illustrate the inlluence of a bad example in the formation ol habits ruinous in their effect :
Adam ond Mary his wife who lived in one of the old Stales, were very good members of the church, good sort of folks any woy, and Mary ihought a great deal of the minister, and the minister thought a good deal of a glass of good toddy.
Whenever the minister called to mako Mary a visit, which waa preiiy often, ahe contrived (o have him a glass of toddy made, and the minister never refused the toddy. After awhile Adam got to following ihe example of the minister to sucli an exteni that he become a drunkard— dnink up every thing ho had and all he could get. Mary and he became very poor in conse¬ quence of his following ihe minister's example 30 closely, but the good minister continued his visits, and poor Mary continued still to give the glass of toddy. One day he called in and told Mary that he was going away for a week—should return on Friday—and handed her a book con¬ taining the catechism, and told her when he re¬ turned he should expect she would be able lo answer some of ihe queations. Mary says yes, and laid the book away very carefully. But Mary like a good many other church members, thought no more of her book until the very Fri¬ day that the good minister was to return.
"What shall I do," says she, " the minisier is to be here to-day and I have not looked in the book he gave me. How can I answer the ques¬ tions ?"
Icau tell you," said Adam, "give me a quorterand let me go over to Smith's and get some good rum, and you cau answer his ques¬ tion with toddy."
Mary look the advice—gave Adam a quarUr and a jug, end ofi" he storied. After gelling his bottle filled, and on his way back, Adam con eluded to taste the rum. One taste brought on another, until be stumbled over a pile of rock." and broke the jug and lost all the rum. But Adam managed lo stagger homo.
Ae eoon as he got in the house, Mary inquired anxiously for thc bottle of rum. " Where is the bottle of rum, Adam ?" Poor Adam managed to stammer out " that he had stumbled over a pile of rocks and broke the bottle and lost the rum." Mary waa in a fi.x—Adam drunk—the minister coming—the rum gone—and the questions un¬ learned : "But here comes the minister! It would'm do for the man of God to seo Adam drunk," so she, for the want of a better place to hide him sent him under the bed. By the lime he was fairly under, in came the minisier. Af¬ ter Bitting a few moments he asked Mary if she ihoiifihl she could answer the question. "How did Adam fall ?" Mary turned her head, first one way, and then anoiher, finally she stammered out. "He fel over a pile of rocks/" It was now thc minister's turn to look blank, but he ventured another question,
"Whero did he hide himself alter hia fall /" ^'Undcr the bed, sir.''*
There, Adam, you may come out, he knows all about it.
The good minister retired-noi even waiting for a glass of toddy.

'* By tbe way," exclaimed Henry I\rPhcr- Mon, alter a short chat, " have you a sailor on hoard by the name of Haliday ?"
" Haliday i Oh yes, an eccentric genius and noble fellow, loo, in the bargain—only he is such an incorrigible drunkard. The man has talents that would give him position and influence in any Buciety; he is a scholar, reading Latin, German and Porlugese fluently; lie is a gentleman in manners and habits, when himself, and yet an unforiunaie failing cribs him down to the fore¬ castle and a tarpaulin. Poor Jack! I wiah in my heart he had permitted Providence to make him what ii dof igned, a stalesman or a hero, one or ihe olber I am sure."
" I bought a piilurc lhat wos his work, I sup pDsc, yesterday,"'
" Andifyoudid,yon boughl no common place daub—our cabin walls will convince you of his talents. On our last long voyage, he really did wonders in the way of painting. His time is up m a few mnnths ; I am sorry while I am glad- sorry that lie will have unlimited freedom for that appetite of bis, and glad to aee him eman¬ cipated from thc thraldom of a sailor's life on a man-of-war. I wish he was my broihor; spite of his failing, 1 should be proud of him."
"I should like to see him," said'Emeline timidly, looking full upon her cousin's face with her dark blue eye, and blushing as maidens of sixteen ao quickly do."
" You shall, cousin," replied the lieuienani; and turning to ihe purser, who was jusi passing, he said, "Tell the boatswain to order up Jack I ilaliday,"
In a few moments the sailor appeared, and bowing with all thc grace of a finished gentle¬ man, he touched bis hai to his superior oflicer, and stood wilh hia eyea riveted upon tho fair Emeline.
" Have you ony sketches or painting down below ?" asked ihe lieutenant, carelessly.
"A few, sir," replied Jock, his high hold brow flushing, and a transient light making his dark eyes glitter as he obsoiTred the interest with which Emeline, almost unconsciously, regarded him.

simply yet richly aitired, with one soft hand rest¬ ing on the back of hia chair, while sho waa lis- tening^to his description of the old picture.
" I declare to you, ray love, I would give al¬ most my whole fortune lo possess it, for I see by an ancient illuminated manuscript which I have, that it ia by a Fleming master—his name has passed from my memory now—by the de¬ scription I om certain thai I muat be correct. I only hope young Alger will not be bribed by Lord Elgin to part with it to him ; he bos already a superb collection."
At thai instant the door was opened, and the expected Alger announced. Thc young lady was introduced ; a glad, frank smile lighted up her features as she held forth her hand. The artist turned deathly pale, for a momeni the- room Bwam around and bis brain reeled—in this beautiful being he had recognized sweet Eme¬ line M'Pherson, but she had forgotten him.— Nevertheless, she was struck with his appear¬ ance—more interested than she had ever been before in a stranger—and when they parted there was a sweetness in her farewell, end a sud¬ den tinge on her fair cheek that gave glorious dreams to the slumbers of the young artist thai night.
Weeks and months passed by, ond Alger had won the lair American. It only needed the con¬ sent of her proud uncle to moke them the most blessed of mortals,
" So you are slill stubborn," soid the old bar¬ onet one day, alluding to the picture—" you will noi part with il?"
" Give me the price I ask, ond it is yours," said Alger-
*' Name it, young man," exclaimed ihe baro¬ net, eagerly grasping hira by the shoulder.
" The hand of your niece," whjapered Alger, hardly above his breath."
" -^^ "nexpected honor, truly," said the bar¬ onet heartily; "my:dear sir, take her-I shall be proud ofthe connexion; so young, so suc¬ cessful who knows to what height you may ascend ? She is too republican to marry a title, and if you love her, why wed her-but wher. ever you go, remember, I claim the picture."
It was not long before a wedding took place at tbo baronet's princely mansion, and Alger being strongly pressed to prolong his atay in Lon¬ don, consented lopass a few yeara mora among
those who had eo weli appreciated hia genius.
Riches poured into his coffers ; his -wife was fortune," as it is termed, but to him a fortune in herself alone.
Why do you wear euch a puzzled look, my dear?" he asked Emeline one day, as she sat gazing Btrangely at hun.
** Why, ever eince I knew you," she replied, " fhere has been at times an expression on your face that reminds me of something, I can't re¬ member what, if you can make that out," she added, laughingly. Her husband smiled mysteriously. " Something that must have.hBpponad when I was very young, is connected with lhat singular

Many yeara ago in a pleasant village ot New England, lived the little girl whose true story I am obout lo relate—Lizzie Stone, the only daughter of the milier.
Lizzie was a child whom everybody loved ; not only because ahe was so pretty, lively and intelligent, but for her being so sweet, gentle ond peaceable—so truly good. Lizzie hod two brothers, o few yeara older ihon herself, who were very fond of her, ond of whom she wna very fond. These three children always weni 0 school and to church together, and played in perfect agreement.
It happened that one sunny autumn ofiernoon they had a viait from two little cousins, who lived obout a mile distant. They hnd a wild, joyous lime; they played in the yard, in ihe barn, and all over the house. Mrs. Slone, who was a kind, pleasant woman, looked on ond laughed, if she did not mingle in their sport.— Sho got them a nice early tea by themselves ; and when thc visitors, alter one last merry game, were about leaving, she aaid to Lizzie— Your brothers will go homo with Alice ond Celia. You moy go with them os far as tha mill; bui be sure to slop there, and come home with your faiher,"
As the cousins set out, laughing and frolick¬ ing alonw, Mrs. Stone stood in the Hule front portico of her collage, looking after them aa they went down ihe lane, and thinking what handsome, and happy, and above all, what good children they were. She smiled nt Lizzie's af¬ fectionate way of taking leave of her, though she was to be gone but a short time. Lizzie never parted from her moiher, even for a half hour, without kissing her lovingly and bidding her good-bye in a voice aa sweet and lender as the cooing ofa dove. Now, as Mrs. Stone went into the house, she said softly to herself, "It is nearly ten years since God gave me lhat child, and she hos never yet caused me one moment's sorrow."
The cousins played so much along the road, and stopped so often to pick flowers and berries, that it woa nearly dark when they reached the mill. Then, when the girls camo to part, ihey had yet so many things to tell each other, so many invitations lo give, so many good-byes to aay, it was no wonder that they lingered awhile. It seemed thot Lizzie could not let her cou¬ sins go. She parted from tbem in her loving way, so many times, that her brother grew a little impatient, and George, the eldest said—
"Why, sisier, I don't see but that Ned and I will have to help you in your kissing, or you'll never get through."
Then Alice and Celia, blushing and laughing, broke away from their couains, and ran fast down a litilo hill towards their liomo. The boya soon overtook them; and Lizzie after wot cli¬ ng the group awhile, and thinking how good was God to give her such amiable couains, such noble brothers, and such dear parent to love, turned and was almost frightened by the din the mill made, and by the darkness, for night was fast coming on. She called her fother's name ; he answered; but the machinery made so much noise that she did not hear. Thinking that he had already gone, ehe turned out to go home alone. She took a way she had often safely taken, over the flume, by the great water-wheel- But lo-nighi she was bewildered—lost her fooi- iog, and fell off on tho wheel, which whirled her down, crushing and tearing her in a allocking manner! It happened ihat just at that moment her faiher, thinking that Lizzie, had been sent to call him horae stopped the mill, and began to search for her. Led by her cries ho came to the wheel, and there found what had occurred. " Are you bodly hurt, my daughter?" he aak¬ ed in great grief and terror.
"Yea, father. I seem to bo crushed to pie¬ cea, and I cannot stir; but I think I shall live till you get me out. Leave me here and go for help."
The neighborhood wa.iaoon roused, and many men hurried with saws and axes to the mill.— But they found that only one or two could work at a time.in cutting away the strong, heavy tim¬ bers, and that it would be some hours before Lizzie could be taken from the cruel place where she was held so fuel, and crushed so dreadfully; and theysaid that to move the wheel backward or forward might kill her at once.
When iMrs. Stone came, one ot the men let down o light into thc wheel, so that she could aee her poor child. When ahe saw Lizzie's white face, and the bleeding arms held towards her, she shrieked and cried bitterly. But Liz¬ zie called up to her as sweetly and cheerfully as she had ever spoken in her life and said—
"Don't cry, moiher ! Thoy will get me out before long ; keep up good courage, nnd pray lo God for me."
And so she continued lo talk, hour after hour, whilo the men kept cutting and sawing at ihe great timbers; so she cheered and comforted the parenis, and her poor brothers, when they too came to the mill.
Once her voice grew very low and indistinct —then il ceased altogether; the'doctor looked down, and said she had fainiod nway, and they sprinkled water upon her. As soon as ahe* re¬ vived, she began again to say comforting things, and to beg her mother not to cry. She said she did not suffer so much pain ns at first and thot she was sure she ehould livo to be carried home- It wus nearly midnight when thc last limber that held her was sawed away, and a workman lifted her gently up, and laid hor in her lather's armg. Tho pain of being removed caused tbe poor child to faint agaiuand she did not revive until sho bad been carried home. When she opened her eyes she found herself on her own little bed, with her dear father and mother and brothers at her side.
Tlio doctor carefully dressed Lizzie's wounds, and gave her some opium lo make her sleep; but he told her father and mother that she could not possibly get well. When he heard tho dread words, Mr. Stone gi^oaned; and covered his faco with his hands; and for n few moments Mra. Slone leaned her head on her husband's shoulder, and cried. Then, lifiing her eyes and clasping her hands, sho said, " Thy will, oh ! Lord, be done !'' and went and sat dow n calmly by Lizzie's sido, and watched her till she slept. The poor Hitlo girl remained sleeping most of
ing there ia beautiful singing. Yet it seema to nie, I shall bear no voice so sweet aa yours, mamma. Why do you cry 7 Only think, mam- ma,ifl should live,now, how crooked and sick¬ ly I should be. I might be a poor bunch-back, j and give a great deal of trouble and sorrow to you all. Will it not be better to bury up this crushed body and let tho pleasant grass grow over it, and have a now glorious body, such as tho angels hove.
Aa she spoke these words she smiled, and did not weep ; but when, afterwards, she askgd for a fahhful house-dog, and her pretty Maltese kitten, and they were brought lo her, she buret into tears. "Good-bye, old Bose! good-bye, Kitty !" she said. "I cry, mamma, to part from these, because I never, never shall see them again; for they have no souls, poor things!—
ut you and papa will come to Heaven before many years ; and you, too, brothers, if you are good boya."
"A little while after this, she soid " Georgie, give my love to Alice and Celia, and lell them I am glad I kissed them ao many timea laat night. Eddie—take care of my flowers, and boys don't miss me too much in your play."
After lying very quiet some moments, she again spoke, ond saiJ :
'Mamma, are the shutters open and has the morning come very brightly ?"
"No my daughter," her mother answered,
I is slill dark night."
"Oh, then, said Lizzie, it must be the win¬ dows of God'a beauiiful palace I see, with the pleasant light shining through. I am uimoat there! Good-bye, mamma, and papo and brothers, good-bye !" And, with a amile spread over her face, Lizzie stretched out her arms, looked upward and died!
When Lizzie lay in her coffin, lhat amile was on her aweet face still—brighter and purer ihaa the white rosea that lay upon her pillow—and Mrs. Stone tried not to let her tears fall upon it; for she said, " God has taken back a little angel He lent to me for a few years, and why should I weep for my happy child I"

TiiF, Evil of a Bad Temper.—A had temper is a curse to tho possessor, nnd i:s influence is most deadly wherever ir is found. It is allied to martyrdom to be obliged to lire with one of a complaining temper. To hear one eternal round of complaint and murmuring, to have every pleasant ihought scared away by their evil spir¬ it, is a sore trial. It is Hke the sling of a scor¬ pion—a perpetual neitle, destroying your peace, rendering life a burthen. Its infiuenco is most deadly ; and the purestandsveetesl atmosphere is contaminated into a deadly miasma wherever this evil genius prevails. It has been aaid and truly, that whilo we ought not to let the bad temper of others influence us, it would be as un¬ reasonable to spread a plnatei ot Spanish flies upon the skin, and not expect il to draw, as to ihink ofa family not aufiering because ofthe bad lemper of any of ita inmates. One string out of lune will destroy the music of an instru¬ ment otherwise perfect; so, if all the members of n church, neighborhood and family, do not cultivate a kind and affeclionate temper, there will be discord and every evil work.
