LETTYRAWDON.
AN EPISODE IN AMERICAN TJFE.
BY THOS. H. MLWBOLD.
The ever-changing hues of the knleidescope, and the varying tints of our autumnal forests do not present more changeful or varied scenes than are to be found in real life in thia country. The decay of one family, the rise of another.depend- ing aa they do on the pecuniary fortunes of their posaeBBors. render American society a scene of constant excitement, am
id he who is at the top of
the social ladder to-day, falls to-morrow wilh the fall of stocks to the bottom. The little lale which follows is but a type of what is"daily oc- currine around us, and is presented aa a general outline, which all may liU up nt their leisure to suit their pleasure.
Letiiia, or as she was usually called in her girlhood, Leity Rawdon, waa the only daughter uf old Elias Rawdon. a thrifty and prosperoua lailor in ilie pleasant villiage of Middlebury.— The old man had married rather late in life, alter he had in hia own phrase "got a liltle something snug about him," She followed the U5ual course of viiliage girls, and at the dame's sdiool had learned those difficult nrts of reading, ¦writing, and ciphering. In her young days, ihe road to learning was not the plank or rail-road track on which our young people now travel so readily. The ABC, required some study to pon derout, and in 179-, the portals to learning were not thrown so wide open as they are in the year of grace 1852. Be that as it may, Letty, how ever, mastered thera. From her earliest years she had been an ambiiious child, never content unless she was among the foremost; as eager for Buperiority over her little schoolmates in play as in study, as if she had been born to rule them.— She was not what would be termed a handsome child, but her features were delicate, and her full hazel eye looked out from its long lashes wilh a glance that showed lull wol! thc determined soul within. She was her father's darling, who denied her nothing, whence she soon obtained a romplete ascondanry in the dwelling of the old tailor.
When Letty was about ihiricen years of age a fashionable boarding-school was opened in the village, and thc old man yielded at once to her wishes lu become a day-scholar at it.   Here her ambition carried her rapidly onward, and if Letty, when she entered it, was comparatively a raw, ignorant country girl, no one who saw her at the termination of her course of studies there, could have recognizi?d in the graceful, intelligent, and accomplished girl  before him, the  little awk ward being, who, four years before had there commenced her career.    The  principal of the school, an elegant and accomplished lady, was early attracted to her by her aptitude for learn ing and her desire lo acquire it, end Letty was soon a favorite pupil.   Nor whilst culuvaiing her mind did she neglect her person.   The elo gant manners of her preceptress made a'most de cided impression on her; gradually she found her own formini; on the model before her, and in process of time, though she made no preten sions to great beauty, it would have been difli- culi to have found a more attractive person than Leily Rawdon, the tailor's daughter.
The young men of tho village and neighbor¬ hood were the first to make this discovery, and at all the general   merry makings which occur¬ red, Letty Rawdon was, beyond all rivalry, the village belle.    We say general merry makings, for our village, like all oihers large and small had its aristocracy, and in the eyes of the " up per circle," we mean the female partof it, of its lifieen hundred inhabitants, she was only " that ronceiied, forward thing, the daughter of old Rawdon, the tailor."    Mrs.  Baxter, the wife of the leading lawyer of the place, in an interview with iVIrs. Danfortli, the wife of the physician had Eeitlcd—•'that, although ihey supposed in their small plare   ihey must know the tailor's daughter when they met her in ihe street, or at church, or other public places, still she was not to be on any account admitted into their set."— How often has many a lovely girl been thus ta¬ booed, not lhat she would confer honor on them, but she might mayhap be in the way of an ad¬ vantageous   settlement  of  tome   marriageable daughters, perchance less attractive than Iierself Letty soon fonnd that there was a determina¬ tion in the female magnates of the village to crush   her  rising   into  any  importance  among ihcm.    But the spirit of the girl rose with the occasion.   In a short linie it bgcanie generally known ihat slie was to be kept at a disiance by the village   fashionables.    What cared  she ?— Her father had accumulated a snug little com¬ petency, and few girls in the neighborhood would be aa well dowered as Letty.    On this she was allowed to draw as she pleased.   New and tasty furniture adorned the best " siiting-room," nnd Letty's brilliant performance on by far ihe best piano in the village, caused mnny a hasty step 10 loiter on its way, as it passed the tailor's door. Nor were thc listeners confined to the outside of the house, for within were Ireqiiemly found all the " incEt desirable " young men, who showed a decided preference for Letty's fine music and lively conversation, to ihe more dignified, but less agreeable assemblages of the exclusives of the place.    Nor abroad did ahe aiiraci less ad¬ miration than at home, and envy itself was at length compelled to confess ihat Letty Rawdon was by far the best dressed and most stylish girl in the village.
Asa naiural consequence, suitors followed.— Phil Dubijs. the only child ofthe wealthiest far¬ mer in ihe neighborhood ; young Harry Edmonds, just i-alled to the bar, and for whom his friends already predicted a brilliant career ; Edward .Simpson, the junior partner of the principal mer raniile firm in the place, were prominent among these. Each wooed in his peculiar way. Dubbs liad enjoyed no advantages oi education beyond wh.u the village grammar school afTorded ; but then he was an accomplished graduate in all rural sports. No young man in the coumy had as good a horse, or rode him as well; he had the best poiniera, and was the best shot to be found in 20 miles round, and waa in all such accom ptishmenis perfect. To him Letty was undei obligations for finishing completely one part of her education ; for he broke a favorite colt for her special uae, and under his skilful tuition she became a fearless and accomplished horse-wo' man. Edmonds quoted Byron and Moore to her constantly, when he had better have been em¬ ployed over Coke and Starkie; and spoiled as much paper in perpetrating bad verses to her, aa would have sufiiccd for his pleas and declara- lions dunng a year's practice; and Simpson never relumed from the " city," wither he went to make ihe purchases of goods for his firm, wilhout a selection of the choicest articles for Leity'B especial use, accompanied with directions as to the latest style of making them up.
Thus strengthened and fortified, Letty saw her foes gradually yeilding before her. One by one they surrendered at discretion unlil Mrs. Ba.x- ter, herself, at last sought the acquaintance, and at twenty years of age, Letty Rawdon, the tailor's daughter, stood the supreme arbitreea of' ton in her native village Although she was grateful to her allies for the assistance they had afibrded her, ahe was by no means disposed to bestow herself in return on any of them. She was not one of those whose hearts are easily won. She was prodigal of her smiles ; she waa ready to do a kind act, or say a kind word, but the Durrender of her heart and hand waa anoiher matter. She was ambiiious of social distinction She had achieved the highest place at home, and she panted for triumphs yet to come on a wider and lofiier stage. Since she had left flchool her tim2 had not been raifl-flpent. She continued lo cultivate, under the tuition of her former mahier, her very decided musical talents ; her mind waa strengthened and enlarged by a course of judicious reading, for which Harry Edmonds supplied her with the material; and thc foreign languages she had acquired were not forgotten. She felt herself far superior to all her compamons. and that her genius was hidden in the comparatively obscure place in which her lot waa caai.
There are few women who do not at some period or other, or in Bome form or other, meet iheir fale in the thape ofa man. Happy, ihey, who aro exempt.from thia general calamity ofl ihe sex ; for cftlomiiy.in too many c&sbb we be lieva it tobe^ For ouirpart, we plead guillyto a»ntaKing Ukiogto» ejngle women, yclepl by yulg&r mlndft, old maids. Under this denomina
'; lion, we do noi, however, include that numer- i ous band of •¦ single sisters," hovering between the ages of thirty-five and forty-five, to whom) a auperanuated bachelor, or an inlcresUng w.d- ¦ ower. especially if he be a parson w.lh half o dozen responflibiliiies, is a god send. Oh, no! we mean none of these, bat one of thOBe digm- fied ladies, of nameless age and easy fortune, of whom all of ua count one or more among onr acquaintance. Where are awch complete estab- lishmenis to be found as among iheae? Go lo visit them, and your ears are not deafened by a practicing miss of foarteen, thumping an unfor¬ tunate piano, until if it had any powers of speech it would certainly cry oui *' pianissimo ;** or by one ol thoae lively aqualla from the upper re¬ gions, which resembles noihing earthly but the serenade of an amatory cal at midnight. From these, and auch like annoyances you are exempt, and then if you enjoy the privilege of an intima¬ cy which admits you to the tea table—where else is auch superb Imperial or glorious Souch¬ ong to be found I Piping hot, it is poured into a cup of such clean and delicate lexture, that the fragrance of the grateful shrub is heightened thereby. The water with which it has been compounded has certainly boiled. Just the right quantity haa been admixed. It does not requii'* to be ruined, by having a supply of tep¬ id water added to it after it has been poured in¬ to your cup; nor does it come on table as taste¬ less slops, al which even a four-footed animal, unmentionable to ears polite, would utter a grunt of dissent if presented to it. No. Com mend me to one of those tea tables. The muf¬ fins also, ore so hoi, so "just done;" or the toasi without being burnt to a cinder, or har¬ dened to a board, is as crisp and delightful as the most fastidious could require. The cream, too—ijlease do not mention it—the same milk¬ man moy serve her next door neighbor, but in her mansion no skim milk is mixed therewith, to eke out to a large family the amounl requi¬ red in the compound used therein, and which is called by courtesy, tea. And then the sugan sparkling as so many dimonds in the antique sil¬ ver bowl in which it reals ; no "broken topped" ;:ru8hed," but •* Siewan's" or "Lover extra loaf' is alone used here. It some¬ times hnppona lhat a '*pe/i( jouper" is submitted for tlic tea lable. The oysters, Morris river coves, when they can be had, certainly ; the tcrrai>ins, none hul the genuine Egg-harbora ev er enter her doors, an4 ihe inimitable John Ir win has e.i:hau6.led on ihom all tke resources of his skill. All the appliances of her lable arc in keeping, and ns you admire ihc dignified cour¬ tesy wilh which she attends to the wants of each guest, or leads the conversation into chan¬ nels she thinks most acceptable to those around her, ihc mind involuntarily recurs to the days of •hoops and hair-powder trains, and high heeled shoes.
In those days, railioads were a ihing which had entered into tho imagination of no man as a mode of iravel, and he who should have spo- ken of an iron horse rushing on his course, and drawing hundreds of human beinga after him nl a speed of thirty miles an hour, would have been quite as great a belie%'cr in the marvel¬ lous, as those now are, who have faiih in Poine'a light. Even post coaches were a novelty ofTof the great thoroughfares, and the public convey¬ ance usual to such araali places as '''iddlebury, was the old long-bodied stage, wiih its three or tour seats behind the driver's and slowing away some ten or twelve passengers. Blessings on those old carriages, we say. It is true, their pace rarely got up to five miles an hour, and that at every five miles or so ihey stopped to " water," at an expense of some fifteen minutea of time; but what of that ? Minutes seem lo be more valuable to travelers now, than hours were then. But whal mixed feelings did not these produce in our bosom, when seated in the old stage on our route out of town for the holy- days, between impatience to arrive ai our journ¬ ey's end, and the airy fabrics we erected, of whal we should do when we reached there.— There was the best and kindest of grandmoth¬ ers as impatiently waiii;ig for the arrival which was to enable her to spoil " ihe boys" with in¬ dulgences, aa we were to be spoiled. There was the well remembered pony, a little less than anxious we opine to be dashed around the coun¬ try, than we were lo dash him. Then, there was the mill-dam, where the many colored eun- fish awaited our hook and worms, and the bath¬ ing place below the dam, where we could ven¬ ture to try our newly acquired skill across " the | hole" without danger; and the store, where gingerbread and candy, and pipes for soap-aud bubbles were bought, with tho?e " odd quar¬ ters" which grandma so freely bestowed. Who can ever forget these e»rly days ? And the deep¬ er he sinks into the sere and yellow leaf, the brighter do they rise up. They constitute the small portion of our lives upon which we can lookback with perfect complacency; for the, light shadows which once partially clouded. them have long since faded away and been for¬ gotten, and nought but the memory of the bright joyous sunshine remains.
The old stage which plied between Middlebu ry and the ciiy of Quakerdelphia, one day lan¬ ded as a passenger from the former place a young man of some thirty years of age. Whether business or pleasure attracted him thither is of no consequence, to this story, although from the characler of the man it was more probably the former. At the age of sixteen John Smithaon found himself an apprentice in a dry gooda store of Quakerdelphia. He had come ihiiher with a sound constitution, a good, solid English edu¬ cation, BUch as was the less frequently obtained in country schoola ihan now is; great industry and indomitable perseverance. The lost traits had enrly atiracied ihe attention of hia acquain- tince, and his success in whatever he should un¬ dertake predicted. He soon attracted the aiien¬ tion and confidence of his employers, and ihe respective grades of apprentice, clerk, and ju¬ nior partner were attained by hira. In the mer¬ cantile world he had for some time been noted for his iniiraaie acquaintance with and complete knowledge of business, and for the integrity, straightforwardness and manliness of his char¬ acter, and no one was surprised when the sen¬ ior member of the firm retired a year before, that it look the title of Jonea, Smithson & Co. John .Smithson had achieved mercantile distinc¬ tion. Wealth had commenced flowing in upon him in a continuous and unbroken stream, and a few years would in all probability, see him among ihe richest merchants of his adopled city. But social distinctions were wanting to him.— In his younger days he had^been too busy to think of matrimony, or indeed, of female society at all. He was loo much engaged in achieving the position ho now occupied lo care much for aught else, and his intercourse wilh men had rubbed off the awkward angles of tbe raw coun¬ lry lad. Still the want of refined female society had necessarily left him without that polish which can be derived from it alone. He occu¬ pied I hen no sociil position. His home connec tion was respectable, and hia growing wealth would enable Inm to take a place among the magnates about him ; all his future, then, de¬ pended on his choice of a wife ; for be began about this time to be cognizant of ihe fact lhat it was high time for him to marry.
He waa fully impressed wilh thia idea when he firat met Letty Rawdon, nor did subsequenl interviews with her serve to weaken ihe im¬ pression. Indeed, he-began 10 be fully convinc¬ ed oi' the necessity of ihe fact, and after paying four or five visits to Middlebury, determined to inquire of Letty what washer opinior. on the aubject. On being interrogated by him, there¬ fore, on thia point, she still further strengthen¬ ed hid determination by agreeing fully wilh bim thereon. Here was one point gained. StiU an- other step, however, was lo be laken. He again had recourse ,o bin advisor, ond ahe. on bein- .nierrogated whether it would be best for her to drop the name of Rawdon and take that of Smithson, determined it nho afTirmatively. lo iho entire satisfaction of the querist
Letty, clear-sighted woman that she waa, saw at an early period of her acquaintance the influ¬ ence she  was gradually  acquiring  over John Smithson.   It is true he was not very handsome but he had a m^nly, intelligent face and a good figure.   If he did noi nnderatand all the mazea ofa cotillion—waltzing wna then unknown here, and the polki would have horrified our reputa¬ ble predecessors—he had not entirely forgottoa all the figures of the coumry dance or thc reel which he bad  learned when a boy.   He rode well, I'bo, and often accompanied the young lady in her gallops about ibe country.   It is true he was more coaverBant wilh the qualities of York¬ shire woolens or India piei;6-ground, than with most of those lighter accompliabroenlB by which alone many conceited addle pales'thinli that wo¬ men pre to be caoiglit. But he waa by no means pnintormed.   His reading had not been very-ex- tensive, but a» far as it went it bad been good—
Jiistory, biography, travels comprised the chief! " Don*t ybu know—her name is Smithson.— of it—Shakspeare had however, attracted him lo \ A rich Shamble atreet mcrchani.

described. He was a close observer also of men and things, and Letly soon began lo find his so¬ ciety much moro to her laste iban that of any, unmarried man with whom ahe bad ever associ¬ ated- She then asked herself the aiaie of her own bean ? Ambiiious ihough sho was, she was looj true and honesi a woman lo give her hand with¬ out her heart; and after a brief, but earefiil consultation wiih herself, decided that she'could in all honeaiy take him " for belter, for worse, for richer, for poorer." In a worldly point' of view it was the chance ofa life lime. The rich and rising merchani of ihe great ciiy proposing to make her, the daughter of a village tailor, the future partner of hia greatness. Lelty was not insensible lo this—we will not aay she was grateful for it; she had too just an apprecialion of her own merits to be so ; but she was not blind to its advantages in a worldly point of view. Had il occurred some two years sooner, all the aristocracy of Middlebury would have cried out "eharae;" but now il was received aa a thing ofcourfe, and Smilhaon was warmly congralu- laled on his admirable taste.
It was decided by Letty, and confirmed by Smithson, that in order to secure high social position, a good start was necessary. There must be no false step, no blunder at the outset. How many apparently promising fortunes has this one false step marred. He accordingly look a good house in the most desirable part of Hazlenut street, ihe very centre and focus of fashion in Quakerdelphia. To furnish the house was in those days the business of the wife, and Letty determined lo disburse the, for bissiiua- tion.vcry considerable dower her fnihercould give her, in fitting up her new mansion, leaving it to her future lord and master to furnish the einewa of war for carrying on the ensuine campai^ijna.— Accompanied by her former preceptress, ihe assistance whose taste ahe had evoked, Letly proceeded on her first viaii to " the city." We shall not etop to describe her first sensations on entering so large a place. Reading and de¬ scriptions hod given her a preity correct idea of what a city was, and ahe did not, like another country girl we have heard ot, complain " that she could not sec the town for housea." Let not ihis be considered an exaggeration, for the reverse of the case occurred in our own pres¬ ence a very few years since. We were at a coun¬ lry house a few miles from ihe city, when a friend of its owner arrived there, accompanied by one of her children, a lovely little girl of somc five years of age. From eome cause or other she had never since she could remember been in the counlry before, and delighted with all she saw—the trees, ihe green fields, the flowers, she hurried with a smiling face to her mother, exclaiming—" Oh, mamma, is indeed this the real counlry?"
After a day or so devoted to sighi-seeing, the serious business which brought her there was entered upon by Leity. Cabinet-makers were visited, upholsterers consulted, and trades peo¬ ple of various kinds looked in upon, until finally, like a genuine woman, she stopped buying, simply because her money was all gone. Arti¬ cles of verlu were not ao common in those days as now, but yet our friend contrived to mingle a good deal of the ornamenial with all of the use¬ ful in her purchases, and when, ,some lime after, a carriage whirled to the door of a capacious Hazlenut atreet mansion, and a lady and gentle¬ man descended ihtrefrom, few ladies ol Qua- kerdelphia entered a more elegant and luxurious home than did Mrs. John Smithson when she passed its portals.

CHAPTER  li.
Acquainiancea Letty had none in the great ciiy. Mrs. Jones, the lad/ of her husband's partner, of course called upon her and gave her a party, to which her acquainiance generally were inviied. Now, though Mrs. Jones and her friends belonging most strictly to tho claaa called respectable and gonieeI,yet tbey were not fashionable. Letly appeared lo comprehend this as it were by intuition. Nature had cer¬ tainly intended her to be somebody—ahe ac¬ cordingly took her line of conduct at once, and she determined that though circumstances re quired that with Mrs. Jones an air of cordialiyt and sociability must be preserved, yet this was not so necessary whh that lady's friends. Let¬ ty never cut anybody directly. Her innate sense of propriety and natural good breeding revolted from a course to which none but people of vul¬ gar minds and shallow parts ever resort. She possessed, however, a tact which enabled her to drop an acquaintance without the slighteatseem- ingness ot rudeness or ill manners. She knew how first to smile most cordially when she met the " droppee," lo wonder—
It was so long since they had met; she sup¬ posed, however, it must be her fault, hut she had been so busy she had not been able to pay half her visits;" to press ihe hand slightly, and with a smile an angelmightalmosi envy, to say " Good bye, I will endeavor soon—"
And then glide gently away before the sen¬ tence was filled up. And this waa the last of it. On the next meeting a sweet'smile, a courteous bow, but no time to speak; and so the seaaon passed ; no visit exchonged, each eradicated the i olhers's name trom her " list "-the object was I effeeied not only without offence, but with auch ease and grace, that tlie dropped was afterward heard to say :
" I think Mrs. A. a most lovely women, and regret I was compelled by circumstances I could noi Iielp to Slop visiiing her, and so she has giv¬ en me up." Mrs. C. is not ihe only deluded morial in this world.
Mrs. Smithson, we have aeen, had determin¬ ed lhat Mrs. Jones's " set " were noi to become her "set." She wos willing to bide her lime. She was aware ihat great events are usually the creatures of slow growth. They may ot the lasi grow with rapidity, but the seed which pro¬ duces ihem baa been fora long time germinating. She believed that a cultivated mind and accom¬ plished person joined lo a determined will, can achieve anything it pleases in ihe social as in other worlds, and she waa determined to prove the truth of her convictions in her own case, and so ahe went on improving her mind, perfecting her accomplishments and biding her lime.
Mr. Smithson, Hke all other reputable gentle¬ men, had, on becoming a married man, laken a pew in the church. It was a fashionable church which then meant an Episcopal church, for fashion in those days was pretty much monopo¬ lized in Quakerdelphia by Episcopalians and a few degenerate descendants of the co-religion¬ ists of Penn, who had departed wofully in dress and manners from the primitive simplicity of "Friends." Now-a-daya things are somewhat altered, as one may perceive at a glance on en¬ tering some of the Presbyterian churches in the fashionable part of the city—ihe display of vel vets, brocades and furs, the oceans of feathers and parterres of flowers show that tbeir owners have entered on the race, and that tt is almost a dead beat. Nor has the innovation ceased here, The full, rich, deep swell of ihe organ has been substituted for the bass-viol, (rise riot at the mention of it, shades of Knox and Calvin,) it ia rumored lhat your descendants are about to wor¬ ship" in a Gothic temple, with its windows of stained glass through which the " dim religious light" is to penetrate, and dim enough it ia dur¬ ing our short winter afternoons. Whether tha resemblance lo the " Mass houses" which were lorn down in ihe sixteenth century is lo be carried out fully in thc exterior, we have not learned, nor whether il is only to be confined to *'sed- ilia," "screen," "south porch." "octagonalfont at the door," or whether any or none of these remains of Mediavalism are to have a place within. The " Ecclesiologiai " no doubt can enlighten our readers, and to that we refer ihem.
Mr. Smithson, as we said, took a pew in a fashionable church, and in a desirable position. Thither accompanied by hia fashionable looking wife, who, in her turn, was accompanied by her richly bound prayer book, he resorted on Sun¬ day raorniogfl. The aiiention of the devoieea around waa al once aitracled by her, and Btray Eluncea would slip from the leaf oI the prayer book vo ihe "new person" near by. "Nim- porte;' Letty might say, as did o celebrated En- gUah dandy when an hundred opera glaeaeB
m'l^?^'"^ " ^''^' " I'«t »hem look and die/' With her aiiire no fauU could bu found. The naaienal was of the ricbesi nnd most costly kind, the most harmoniously combined; the fit per¬ fect, Bhowmg her willowy n„d graceful figure to tbe uimoat advantage, and ,he furs genuine martin.
" Who is she ?•• was ihe whieperiDg colloquy,, aa Ihe parties procesded down tke ai«h», with fc' ^ glance over tho aboalder. '

Very definite—and the lasi location very likely."
But w hat do you ihink of her ? Very lady looking—don'i you ihink so ? And how beauti¬ fully ahe dresses. Her muflT and tippei nre cer¬ tainly martin-and what a love of a hat. Mar¬ tin tells me she paid $25 for it."
Here the ladies having reached the door, the edifying commentary on the sermon just deliv¬ ered ceased, and the parties separaling, pursued their several ways. The first speakei, or quer¬ ist, was Mra. Rodgers. one of the most decided leaders of the ton in Quackerdelphia, whose faiher having retired from irado aa a hardware merchant when she was a very little girl, felt her superiority lo those of her acquaintances who were still engaged iArade. Her husband was in the same position as herself, and iheir uniied fortunes enabled him to provide hia friends with the finest clarets, the oldest Madeiras, the fattest venison, and one ol ihe greatest bores at the head of his own table who ever spoiled good wine by prosing over it. His lady gave no balls nor grand routes; she was too exclusive for that; but admittance to her '* Evenings " was eagerly sought after by atl who aspired to be of the ion. Tho other lady, Mrs. Cackle, a wid¬ ow, was one of those gossips who are every¬ where found. Her pretenaions to fahhion were only pretensions, and she held her own in the gay world simply by making herself useful as the purveyor ofall the fashionable scandal of the day to her fashionable acquainiance. Mrs. Rodgers aod others of her set, would have as soon ihoughi of doing withoui their cards or their carriages aa wilhout " Cackle," as she waa familiarly called; and hence she was at horae in all the "best houses".of Quakerdel¬ phia.
The pew which the Smithsons occupied, waa adjoining that of Mrs. Rodgers. It was the family pew of a certain Mrs. Edmondson, who, after a long career in the gay world, had recent¬ ly, alarmed by conscience or gray haira, abandon¬ ed cards for prayer-meetinga, and despairing of "grace" under what she pleased to term "the didactic essays and moral teachings " of Dr. Silky, her pastor, had abandoned them for the preachings of the Rev. Mr. Thunder, a celebra¬ ted revivalist. Here a new scene waa opened for her. Possibly her jaded feelings may have required some new and varied stimulant. We do not say so positively. Wc merely repeat what "Cackle" said.
"Poor, dear soul! she was so worn out witb whist and piqueii, tbat any change was for the better.
Be this as it may. she certainty entered upon her new  course of life  with much  zeal.    She faithfully attended not only the three regular. Sunday  sprvices, but all  thc occasional week day  lectures   and familiar  meetings  for prayer and religious conversation.     These latter were always preceded by tea nt the house of somo of the sisters of the Rev. Mr. Thunder's flock.— Projects  for converting  the  world  were then new, and the receni convert entered upon ihcm with ali the zeol which had  formerly animated her when arranging the details of a ball or of a party for the theatre.     The dwellers in Africa and the ialea of the Pacific occupied much of their attention ; but ihey did not seem to know that  within a lew squares of where   they  were engaged alternately in sipping tea or expound¬ ing   prophecy,   dwelt   a   population,   perhaps more degraded and more requiring enlighten¬ ment, than those over whose darkness they mourned.    The inhabitant of Africa thought nothing of a Saviour of whom he had never heard.    Thc denizen of St. Annie's street ut¬ tered his name only to blaspheme.     Which of these, according to the doctrine as laid down by the Apostle  to ihc Gentiles, most required the humanizing influence of the  mis.fionary of the cross, we leave lo each to determine for himself One thing is certain.   Had Mrs.  Kdmonson not been thus called off'. Mrs. Smithson could not have obtained the pew which she now occu¬ pied.   A  gradual  acquainiance was  beginning to  spring up  between her and Mrs. Rodgcis, arising from ihe principle of contiguity.    Com¬ mend  us to thai principle.   It has settled the fate of many a daughter of Eve.   It commenc ed we know not how.   It was probably from some one of those ihousand nnd one litile offen¬ ces   which   neighborhood   i.iduces.   A shawl may have become entangled in something requi¬ ring ihe friendly offices ofa neighbor to un loose ; or ihe warmth of the weather may have created an uncomfortable   feeling, which the opportune loan of a fan may have relieved How the acquaintanceship in question  was first brought about we havo forgoiten—if we ever knew,    ft   is of no  consequence to us.    Every one knows the progress of these things.   At first it IS a distant bow, as much as to say, " I should like to know ynu, but don't care toad vance."   Then came a casual and passing re¬ mark, as  they emerged   from the pew to  the aisle.   Then the walk down the aisle, side by side, until reaching the door, when each assum ed her husband's arm, and the respective couples mingled in the crowd ; and finally the coniinued walk together to the parting  place,  whence each pursues the path to their own residence. Theae things have often occurred before ; they were  enacted   by   Meadames   Rodgers,   ond Smithson  then,and  will occur   again.   Their busbanda followed slowly in the rear, discussing the state of the weather, the prospects of busi¬ ness, the likelihood of speedy news from   Eu. rope, there not having been an arrival for up¬ wards of a month, with other topics of a kin¬ dred nature.   Mrs. Rodgers, a well educated la¬ dy of considerable conversational powers, found the mind of her new acquaintance as agreeable as her peraon, before they separated.
Hoped ahe might be permitted to improve the acquainiance thus opportunely begun, by calling on Mrs. SmJihson."
Letty graciously gave the required permission, expressing all that courtesy demanded on ihe occasion, but carefully abstaining from appear¬ ing overwhelmed with the compliment, as many a weaker minded and less skilful tactician would have done. She knew that her cue was to meet advances half-way, but not to pasa the line one hair's breadth, if she wished any new acquaintance to be made to feel, that in seeking her, the obligation was mutual.
On the next day one Mrs. Rodgers was ush¬ ered into Letty's drawing room. That lady did not detain her long before she made her ap¬ pearance, but Btill dallied eufficienlly to allow the others to take in at a rapid glance tho com¬ pleteness of her estabhshmeni. Her experi ence, however, waa for once at fault, for she de- termined hastily that the woman who could ar range her rooms with such taste, must have been surrounded by like refinements and ele¬ gancies all her life. Her reception of Letty, therefore, when ahe arrived, waa most cordial and impressive. Tbe season was far advanced. Her last " Evening" waa on ihat ofthe suc¬ ceeding day, "and it was to secure Mrs. Smith- aon's appearance as well as furiher lo culiivate ao pleasant an acquaintance thus agreeably be¬ gun, that she had called this morning, etc."— Mrs. Smithson, on her part, would be very happy to make one al thia excftisive assemblage, and a very unfaahionably long visit for a morn¬ ing call followed. Mra. Rodgera was anxious to find out all about Letty, who she was, where she came from, etc, ; but was foiled in all her skilful quesiiona, by answers equally skilful.— When at length shti look her leave, ahe could not help pondering on this herself She admit¬ ted her curiosity about it, but wound up saying to herself, be ahe who ahe may, she is certainly a moat agreeable personage, and I ihink I have made a moat decided hit in introducing her into our set.
Aa for Letty, she was all exuhaiion on the departure of her visitor. She saw herself achieving at once the diatinctions ahe panted af¬ ter. Not only were the doors of tho drawing room of dame Fashion opened to her, but aa ahe passed ihrough them with firm step and head erect amid the ill-concealed envy of the crowd which filled them, ahe saw the curtains of! the boudoir drawn aside at her approach, and ahe was admiiied into the Inmost presence chamber of the goddess. Not so fast, Letly.— Yon certainly have mounted the firai rung of the ladder; aod my readers and myself know too well to fear for a moment jhat you will go backward; but there ia manjr.a step yet to climb before foa reach ,that giddy height on which you upir«->> 9taf^(l>.
The next evening Boon came, and afterolmoat all the gneiu had aasembled, Mr. and Mrs.
Smilhson arrived.' She was arrayed in a drcs?
of the richest kind, and with her usual faliless ¦
laste.   Her ornaments were few. but elegant; ;

A FRAGMENT- .Swiftly glide our years—they follow each other j like the waves of the ocean. Memory calls up I the persons we once knew—the scenes in whicli we were once iheaciors, they appear before the mind like phantoms uf a night vision. Behold ihe boy rejoicing in the gaiety of his soul—the wheels of lime cannot roll too rapidly for him— the light of hope dances in his eye—the smile of expectation plays upon his lip—he looks for¬ ward for long years of joy to come—his spirit burns within him when he hoars of great men, and mighty deeds—he wants to bo a man—he longs to mount the hill of ambition, to tread the path of honor, lo hear the shout of applause.— Look at bim again—ho is now in the meridian of life—care has stamped wrinkles upon his brow—disappointment has dimmed the lustre of his eye—sorrow has thrown its gloom upon his countenance—he looks back upon the waking dream of youth, and sighs for their futility—each revolving year seems lo diminiah something from hia liltle slock of happiness, and he discovers thai the season ot youth—when ihe puUe of an¬ ticipation beats high—is the only season of en¬ joyment. Who is he of the aged locks? His form is bent and totters—his footsteps move more rapidly towards the lomb—he looks back upon the pnsl^his daya appear lo have been few, and he confesses lhat they were evil—the mag¬ nificence oflhe great is 10 him vanity—ihe hilar¬ ity ol youth, folly—ho considera how eoon the gloom of death must shadow one, and di.sappoini- ment end the other—the world presents little to attract, and nothing to delight him—still, how ever, he would linger in it,still he would length¬ en out his days, though of " beauty's bloom of fancy's flash, of music's breath," he is forced lo exclaim, " I have no pleasure in them." A few years of infirraliy, inanity and pain, musi consign him lo idioryor the grave—yet this waa the gay, the ^fnctous. the high-souled boy—who beheld hia asrc*^mg path of life strewed wilh¬ out a thorn. 8iicli is human life—but such can nut be ili*^ iiltimaic destinies of man.

E.NERiiV—What it Does—Lazy Me.n are Ai.tt'AV.s Hki.ow Pah.—We love your upright energetic men. Pull them this way, and then that way, and the other, and ihcy only bend, but never break. Trip ihem down, aod in a trice they are on iheir feet. Bury them in the mud, and in an hour they will be out and bright. They nre not ever yawning away existence, or walking about the world as if they hnd come into it with only half their soul; you cannot keep them down—you cannot destroy them.— But for tliese, the world would soon degenerate. They are the salt of the earlh. Who but they start any noble project'. They build our cities, and rear our manufactories. They whit¬ en the ocean with iheir fiai!s,.and bla<iken the heavens with the smoke of tbeir sleani vessels and furnace lires. They draw their treasures from ihe mine. They plough the earth. Bles¬ sings on them ! Look to them young men. and take courage ; imiinte their example, catch the spirit of their energy. .'Without liie, wliat nre you good for. if it is pas.'ied idly away ? We ahould oyer measure thus life's employment.
MUS. CAUDLE A BLOOMER, Mrs. Caudle, appear^i, to determined to wear the " Bloomer," and poor Caudle has had *' i( give up."    fiear  what   she says  upon this im porlant subject.
Now, Caudle, jusl keep awake awhile; I want to inil you about my wearing the Bloomer dre.ss. Sick uf hearing about it, sick of seeing great green girls galloping round the streets with ancles like an elephant, toes lurned and great soup pan hat pitched over their ugly faces !
" What has that lo do with me.ltey. Caudle if Don't preiend lhat you are sleepy, now, because I know you ain't, und what's more, 1 don't in¬ tend you shall be. Now you see, Caudle, dear, it takes a pretty woman to wear ihat dress.— Think it will suit me ihen? Of course it will. Whal are you laughing aboul t Let me see, it will lake twelve yards of silk for ihe dress, and five for tho irouser.s. Don't think it will beany thing new for me to wear them. I don't know what you mean by such an insinuation, if I did, despise you for it. Wish I would noi keep dig¬ ging my elbow into your side? Well keep awake, then, take care of your end of the schooner, and I will lake care of mine. As I was saying, it will take just twelve yards lor ihe treas, and five for the bree—trousers ; laugh away, laugh away ! Caudle, I don't care what you call "em ifl only get "em on. If I do wear'em you'll put on pelticoais, will you ?— Well all I have to aay to that, is that you then appear in your true color, and not lo be such a walking lie ua you are now. But there's no help for it as I know, any way, tliai's neither here nor there. Shall-I-havc the Bloomer dress or not Mr. Caudle I
Hereupon Mr. Caudle groans out a faint "yes," uttering as he turn over. "I wish I had never been born;" to which lii,i wife de voutly responds Amen ?
MAXIMS TO  GUIDE A YOUNG  MAN. Keep good company or none. Never be idle.    If your hands cannot be tise- fuliy employed, attend to the cuhivaiion ot your mind. Alwaya speak the truth. Make few promises. Live up to all your engagemeniR. Have no very intimate friends. Keep your own secrets, if you have any. When you speak lo a person, look him in ihe face.
Good company and good conversaiion are ihe very sinews of virtue.
Good characler is above all things else. Never listen lo any loo.te or infidel converta- tlon.
Your character cannot be es-^eniially injured except by your own acta.
I    If any one speaks evil of you, let your life be such ihai none will believe him. Drink no kind of inioxicaiing liquors. Ever live, mit>fonune e.\cepted, wiihin your income.
When you retire lo bed, think over what you have been doing during the day. I
Never speak lightly of religion. Make no haste to be rich, if yon would pros¬ per.
Small and steady gains give conipeiency with tranquility of mind. Never play at any kind of game or chance. Avoid temptation, through fear ihal you may not withstand it. Earn money before you spend it. Never run in debt, iinlesa you see a way to get out again. Never borrow if you can possible avoid it. Do nut marry uniil you are alile to support a wife. Never speak evil of any one. Be jusl before you are generou.s. Keep yourself Innocent, if you would be hap-
py-
Save when you are young lo spend when you are old.
Never think that which you do for religion, is time or money misspent.
Always go to meeling when you can. •Often think ot death and your accountability 10 God.

OO" A man, somewhat given lo superstition, dreamed on Sunday night, that he saw an om¬ nibus up Washington sireet, containing four passengers, and drawn by six horses, each ani¬ mal haying six legs. Upon waking from his sleep, lie sprang out of bed and made a note of the figures, -1, 8, 48. On Monday, he spenl aevttral lioiirs in searching for a lottery ticket. with the numbers 4, 8, 48, upon it. Finding one nt last, he paid $20 for it, 12 per cent oft'.— On Tueaduy, strange to relate ! theiicketdrew a blank!

Sl.NGDL.VR   FACT IN   NATURAL   HiSTORV,—In
Pittsburg, a hen made her nest in a pile of pig iron, and sat upon thirteen eggs. When the time for incubation arrived, it was found ihat she had hatched but one litile sickly looking chicken ; and hud produced a full dozen perfect troB spikes ! The philosophers aay that the magnetic ptopenies of the iron produced this singular result.
Hafpiness.—A hmtorfly ihat roves Irom ibwer to flower, in the vast garden of existence, and which is eagerly pursued by the multitude, in the vain hope of obtaining the prize, yet it continually eludes their grasp.
ICr Thirteen objections were once given by Q young lady for declining s match ; the first twelve being the suitor's twelve children, and the thirteenih the auitor himself.
Take Cire of youk Pockets.—There is a book with the dangerous title of ihe Pocket Lawyer. We shonldn't like a book with this title much, for we are afraid that if we once got the Lawyer in our pocket, we never shonld be able to get him out again.
