It was a great event—that of rny cous¬ in's firsl visit ill the coiintry. Nowy wc begged of the clouds lo be propitious, and now, wc flew to make the house appear so, till every arlicle of furniture had been nrrangcil and rc-arrangcd at least a half dozen limes; though wc were assurc'd by certain older and wiser individuals that it had pained nothing by tho changes. Co'ds- in Walter, a curly-hcaded, laoghing-eyed junior, had come home to spend the sum¬ mer vncation with us, and, if truth niiist bo told, neither Waili'.r nor inyself felt very hospitable. Wo had lived a whole j'car in the anticiputiou of this visit; and now to have our plans spoiled hy tho whimseys of a cily belle! Walter hesita¬ ted not to declare that it was loo had, aud, of course, he could hold no opinion lo ^whleh I would uot accede, when I had not seen hira beforo fora wliole year. Ilwill do to contradict those we meet even' ^^y^ but living iwelvo long mouthy i,i two—ah' we must bo in a hurr j -^,,^„ („ ^^t out half the love that - i,, ,he heart! Aud Walter and ray:;elf were very loving cousin.'S, for *"'¦ 'lid been rocked in the same cradle, (I a few years later, true, and sometimes by his own chubby little hand,) and had eaten bread and milk from the same por¬ ringer ; aye, and had been tied up by the same string, wlien wc ran away together to play upon tho shaded merge of tho mill-pond, as if to test lhe truth of the oft repeated prophecy, Ihat we should be diowned. We weie deep in each other's confidence, too. J knew every little Miss for a dozen iniles arovyid that Walter ihought pretiy, and, as in duty bound, I thought them all pretty too. 1 knew, more¬ over, that my father never dreamed of, that Walter had no liking for the science of ju¬ risprudence to which ho was destined, and had other and very mysterious views for himself, of which even I could only ob¬ tain an inkling. Then Walter knew ex¬ actly the number and condition of my pretty frocks, aud always assisted in whee¬ dling my mother into tho purchase of a new one. He knew too that I did nol like James Brown, anil Ihought his velvet cap very ugly;   fi'„d that I  did like Charley
Hill,
V'^vet cap and all, though the head
coverings m questions wore as like as two peas.    But notwithstanding this general knowledge of each olher's views, wc had at least a half dozen profound secrets to whisper cvRry day, unlil Walter was sent away to college.   And is it Iq be supposed that after an absence 'of tliree years Wal¬ ter wo-aid grow lilguified, and I reserved and prudish;    Ah, no! not wol    Wo mot withbeurly  kisses, and strolled, arm in arm, all over the fields and woods, and s'at down togeiher under the  old trees, or in the portico, at evening,  and wore just as confidential as ever.    But to have a third in our conferences, and she a city  lady, in all probability as full of provokingly nice notions as an egg is of meet!   Oh ! it was loo bad 1   But then she was coming per invilalion from my falher, and must, of course, be duly entertained.   However, Walter and I set apart two  good hours that we fairly concluded might be exclu¬ sively our own ; onc, the first after suni'i^& in the morning, which our guest would of course waste in sleep ; ar.il (he olher im¬ mediately after dinner, when she was tak¬ ing her afternoon's siesta.     Wallers fine saddlG-hor.-ie had   been taken   from the plough a full week before his arrival; and my pretty Zikka (a perversion of Zeke, I S'lippose,) W.1S certainly born for a lady'.< sitting.     Oh!   what dclighlful limes   we might have had a galloping away, side by side!   But tho arrival ofour city cousin would spoil all, for there was not another side.saddle  in the neighborhood, and nol a horse, save the halt and the aged, that a lady could mount with safety.    So there was another pleasure to "be sacrificed!— But Walter and I  resolved lo bear it like martyrs, and bear it we did.
On the day of "Bel. Furoster's arrival, af¬ ter I had slipped two or threo more choice buds among the fresh flowers in tho room, looped anew the muslin curtains, and giv¬ en the last touch to all the little parapher¬ nalia of the dressing table ;   Waller har¬ nessed his own horse, and assisted rae into a nice little buggy, and off  we drove in search of my dreaded cousin.  To be sure \ye did not know her, but wc resolved to step up to lhe first cold, formal Miss, with a languid step, drooping shoulders, and a would-be prelty lisp, and hail her as Miss Isabella Fortsler.   We wore obliged to wait full tea minutes for the arrival of lhe cars ; and cousin Walter and I spent this time in rallying each other out of our shecpisli- ness, and wondering if our expected guest •would really be pleased wilh any of the thousand plans thai wc had arranged for her benefit.     At last there was a sud¬ den tinkling of abcU, a rumbling, pulVuig, —wliish!—liz! 'sh! 'sh! 'sh !  and a furi¬ ous, crazy monster of a runaway   jElna whisked past us, and camo lo a sland still. My hearl was in my  mouth, and Walter's might have been in his eyes, for aught that I know, for the big orbs became sud¬ denly very prominent.
'Stay here, Fanny,' he whispered, 'and 1 will go out in search of the lady.'
Waller stepped forth, and I seated my¬ self in a position to watch his inovcnienls. He walked about a littlo,and .seemed to be making inquiries while lhe long train was disgorging its contents ; bul the crowds of finery that streamed forlh upon the pave¬ ment, none seemed lo belong to my cous¬ in. There 'was a lady approaching thirty that corresponded wi'h onr notions very well, but we bad been told that 'Bel Fores¬ ter was only si.\tceii. There v.-as a prelty damsel of sixieen, bul .she was carefully attended'by agentlcman somewhat advan¬ ced; and there wasa sad-looking young lady, in black, alone, to whom Walter's
ridu back alone, as wc camo, when the biigl'.t vision of a gay face appcareil for ii moment at a window, llion a tall graceful figure bent from the doorway, and while one small, gloved hand was c.vlendcd, and the daintiest little .foot ip tho world was balancing liosilalingly jusl helow the hem of hor travelling dress, lhe lady asked, ' Has no oue iiiq'-iired for Miss Forester'!' Walter sprang forward, and assisted hor descent with both hands, and 1—I did not wait for an inlroduetion,.! can assure.you. Blessings on cousin 'Bel I how we all lov¬ ed her at first sight 1 The bright lady im¬ proved the few moments that Wa'lof was gone lo give orders concerning her bag¬ gage, in making hersell acquainted wiih his history ; aud I IrehsUrcil as many as a dozen fine compliments Ihal I fully resolv¬ ed to repeal to him at the earliest opportu¬ nity. The close pro.ximily of three in a buggy (hast thou ever tried il, reader 1) is a great enemy to any thing like distance of manner or feeling, and beforo we reached home, wo were all on just the happiest fooling in the world. A stranger would havo Ihought wy had knowi; each olher for a lifeliiiie-.
!rhere wasa crowd of little folks, headed by my father and mother, awaiting us on the portico, and cousin 'Bel was passed from one lo another with such caresses and words of welconie as are seldom show¬ ered upon a stranger, and then borne away upon my father's arm lo the parlor.    One brought the slufled rocking-chair, another untied the bonnet, athird removed the hot, du.sty shoes, while mamma.sto.id smilingly by, and litlle Bessie ran lo the kitchen to order a cup of nice tea immeditttuly.  Bnl 'Bel declared that she was not the leasi fu- ligued, and, holding her wealth of black ringlets, that had broken away from the prisoning bodkin, in onc hand, she tripped from wiiiilow to window,e.\claiming atthe fine views; Ihen turned to smother tho lit¬ tle rogue following her with kisses, won¬ dering, meanwhile, that she   had never known her  dear, dear, cousins, before, and declaring that the country wus a per¬ fect paradise, and she should never gol weary of its enchantments.   In less Ihaii an hoHr cousin 'Bel hail ilonnetl a strong muslin dross, and a simple straw hat, and wc were in the fresh fields together. Wal¬ ler leading the way, lowering the fences where they could bc lowered, and where they could not, laughing gaily to see 'Bul spring over Ihem like a young colt.scai'cely touching his extended hand.   We .seemeti lo havc taken a new lease of our runaway years, and to feast upon  the beauties of field and woodland for lhe first limo thai day; such a renewing iiifhieiico has sym- pathy.    Cousin 'Bel was constantly stail- ling us with a joyous cry al what was fa¬ miliar to US ; and she would kneel to smell the rich turf, and wallow abiuil in the de¬ licious clover, just as we  had done in years gone by, and she  would hush us al every gush of melody from our choir ot sweet, woodland    vocalists, and ask Hit; name of every lilile winged Ihing that fiit- ted by ; and point away to the hills, mark¬ ing, with joyful surprise, the  warm lighl bursting from a cloud, and bathing the green lurf, then the coming shadov.' hov¬ ering for a moment on its verge, and fi¬ nally settling down, rich, dark, and ha'zy, wilh here and there a sinall flake of goli upon it; and then she WQitid dance off af¬ ter a bee, or 'ouUerfly, or. a fragment ol floating thistle-doWh, lill we were inclined to tUl'n iVom all wild and gladsome things to cousin 'Bel, asthe wildest and gladsom- est of the whole.    Fur a day or two, never was there a happier trio than my two cou sins aud myself. Walking, walking, walk ing constantly I   Thero wa.<! everything to -see, and wc really began to fear the sum¬ mer would notbe long enough for our pur¬ pose of showing off its beaulios.   Rainy days, too would come ; but il was no punish¬ ment to be confined within doors wilh such a joy-born spirit as cousin 'Bel's.   Then it gave Walter a fine opportunity to dis¬ play the tone and compass of a rich, man¬ ly voice, and make known his taste in the choice of fine passages, which, I now be¬ gan to suspect, were selected wilh reler- cncR to anolher ear than mine.    He had formerly read from the same page, for the sake of convenience, with an arm around my waist.    That last familiarity had, of course, been abandoned on the arrival of a visiter, but I did think cousin Waller mighl favor me with a glance once in a- while.    Somelim'is I had a great mind to show him that an old friend was not to be so neglected for a new face, but t'fien he did no worse than the rest.   We all ne¬ glected each other for 'Bel.   It seemed her due.
There had been a shower early in tiie morning, but the sun came oullaughingly, and looked lown upon Ihc dripping  trees and jeweled shrubbery, pledging to the earth a glorious day.   Freshly swept Ihe sweet-scented wind upward, after stooping momenlarily lo the   flowers and grass- blades;  andawild, joy-maddoned burst of mingled melodies went up from the woodland, as a crowi of young birds start¬ ed from their coverts   and winged their way heaven-ward. It wasa coul, delicious hour, and I went in search of cou.sin 'Bel, to inquire how it shou d be spent.   She was uot to be found, and, fu.'lhcrmoio, 1 discovered that Walter was missing, loo. Loaning from-lhe window, I marked foot¬ prints on the wet grass, and followed to lhe garden.   There were low, confiden¬ tial voices among the shrubbery, andl lie.s- ilatod to advance; but, sianding on lip-loe I managed to peep through a clump of gooseberry bushes, and there saw—whal think you 1    Why, AValtcr had broughi me horae a choice, beautiful rose-bush, aud he had been e.\ti'emely eloqaent in the prai¬ ses   of the   magnificent flower.     There came but one bud upon it, and we had both of us watched ils daily growih with intense inierest, and now whatshould Wal¬ ter be doing but bending that .stem as rude¬ ly as Ihough it had been lhe commonest flower in the world.   I bit my lips severe¬ ly, and filled my hands with prickles in my efforts to keep still, for each moment
to see my darling, ctrcfully iv.-iiched ro.so-bud, sent like a worthless pobljle to t'lu ground. Bul no such thing. Waller knew v,oll enough what ho was about.
' Oil! whal an exqui.site bud !' silenced his evident scruples, and, before I could have inlorrorcd, if ( had aU'.impled il, llio rich, ci-eamy-white ofthe bursting blo.s- soni was nllngling wilh the glossy sable that shaded the brow of cousin 'Bel. Wal¬ let's hand was a lilile tremulous (well it might be, Ihieving mcmlier that itwas!) as ho fastened the pretty gift, and 'Bel's face crimsoned—wilh honest indignation at the shameless robbery, no doubt.
' So ho!' inultorcd I, as I gathered up my dress in my hand to prevent its rustling, and .stole noiselessly back to the house; 'so ho ! Mr. W"alter ! our confidential days aro over,' oh!'
1 could not keep ba';k onc lilllu lear just ons, preceded and followed up 'iiy smiles, fori fellas though Walter had ill-treateil mc—and'Bel., too; and yoti could nol, for the life of mc, have told any onc in what parlicular respect I conceived myself injured. 1 did ask myself once or twice whal right I had lo their secrets, and though it was not au ca-sy queslion to an¬ swer, the sense uf injury siiil remained. My two c:;usins seemed to be ao v.'ell en¬ tertained that my efforts were quite out of lhe question ; and so [ drew on my sleeved apron and lied my little morning cap closely under my chin, fullv resolycj, lu aolight my mollier wilh the tli.sphiy of cer¬ tain domestic qualities more homely than useless. Filleen minutes by the clock had gone by (fur I was ilneasy onomgh lo mark well llieir flight,) when Cousin Wal¬ ler cawe into the kitchen wilh anylliing bul nis usual manly air; and really I began lo think he fell his sin in the all'air of tho rose quite deeply ohotigli. He seemed hesitating how lo broach some diflicult subject, anil J had a great mind lo begin myself and lell him that it was no matter at all, and even lo withhold my chiding for not having been duly informed thai he was falling in love wilh Cousin 'Bel. But suddenly he found words.
' You are engaged, Fanny 1'
'Not particularly, ifl am wanted else¬ where'
Walter slammcred forth somelhing thai [ llid Dot (|nite understand, and looked earnusUy out of Ihe window.
'You know. Waller, that i .shall not allow any thing io tako ino from you and •Bel.'
This remark was made just as my cousin was turning to me again, and he drew back disiioncerted, whilo 1, not quite inler- (U'cting his confusion, and yet judging that 1 had a clue to it, proceeded very Ciiolly to wijie ofl'a row of gla.ss tiunblei's and arrange Ihem on the waiter. Walter looked as though ho would say something could ho but receive a single glance of eucouragcmont or even inlelligence, then turned lo the window, fiilgelt.'d with lhe tassel of his cap, und finally with a pecu¬ liarly hesitating hitching sort of step, pro- cs'jded irresolutely to lhe door. I wailuii lill he was wilhin a step of the thrcshliold, and then with a lighl laugh, sprang before him, putting bolh hands in hi.s—
' Speak out. Waller—what is il 1'
' Confound it Fan ! nothing worth chokc- ing aboul. Bul il isa glorious day for a gallop on horseback, aud you know yours is the only decent beast for a lady in all thu country round.'
'And so you wanl me to ride with youi 1 shall be extremely happy to accommo¬ date you, cousin.'
Oh ! how Walter's astonished eyes star' ed at such a il'tspiay of obtiiseness.
' Cousin 'Bel. will find no diffiicully in amu,-5ing herself for just the little lime we shall be gone, and then—'
Walter, wilh a very preposterous laugh, .seized my shoulders and shook them hear;; lily, then, joining their hands that were tryingwithalltheir mighl lo push his away, he gave tliem atleast a half a dozen kisses; and with a confused melange, in whicii the words 'mischievous,' 'sweet,' 'mgenius,' 'naughty,' were quite conspicuous, he. gave the shoulders another shako, and dragged poor Fanny Forster very rudely after him out ofthe room.
In a little while we were all on the por¬ tico to see Cousin ' Bel, mounted on Zikks, and beauiiful indeed was she, with her queenly figure and animated face. Even my heart swelled with pride to see ray prelly palfrey so highly honored. And Walter Slcighton ! Oh ! there wasa world of eloquent meaning in his large dark eyes; and righl gallantly did hc vault into the saddle, and proudly curve his strung arm to draw in his rein, and keep the spir¬ iled animal from shooting past its lighter companion.
A low word was spoken, a nod or two and a profusion of smiles flung back lo the  admiring group on the portico, and. away fiew the happy equestrians, almosi with  the speed of the wind.—From that morning Zikk's services were   in  requir silion every day; and, as I had somehow taken a sudden dislike for riding, it soon became quite unnecessary lo consult me about the matter at all.   Indeed, if truth must be told, poor Fanny Forster became, by slow degrees, a vory unimportant per¬ sonage, slipping about quietly, and for the most part unobserved; now filling up an embarrasing pause in conversation ; now absenting   herself at  a critical  niomcnl wlioM her woman's wit taught her she was dc triip: sometimes iiiuking  a third in a buggy, and usually, though at a respectful iii.';taiicu, in Ihe walk; always blind, deaf, and   dumb,   when   these   qualities couhl seem lo be desirable, and  yel nol a lilile piqued by her friends  provoking lack ol confidence.     To 'play third fiddle,' and then be deprived nf oven the crumbs from file lable! it was too bad !   It was no dilii- cult pari, however, as far as execution was concerned, for neiiher Walter nor  'Bel, were very sharp sighted to other's actions. Bul there were some half do'zen curious, quizzing mischivous children, belonging to our establishment, that wero not quite S!) considerate, and thay had Ihe honor of getting up   several embarrassing scenes. Slill neither of my cousins thought proper to entrust me with any confidential com¬ munications; and   s)   weelc   ai'ler  week passed by  unlil the vacation had ended, and Walter was obliged, though reluctant¬ ly, lo prepare for his return. Afler assisiing my mother in  putting
Waller's wnrdnibe in order, and watching him and'Bel, lill the.y disappeared alone among tho shadows ofthe trees, I went up again to my cou.sin's room to see Ihat his books aud writing materials were all pack¬ ed. The room v.'as in confusion, ami, among the light lumbar that strewed lhe carpet, my attention was particularly nt- tracled by several loose slips of very fine paper, and I had the curiosity to pick Ihem up. On one was written very carefully, 'My dear Miss Forster.' on anoter, 'Dear Isablla,' aud anolher address was familiar¬ ized into ' Charming 'Bel.,' but the writer had evidently been pu'zzled for words to follow. Cousin Walter had found it no easy matter to indi:e a lovef'si, epistle ! Afler enjoying these tell-tale.scraps to my heart's content, I proceeded to tho lable, where, lo! I stumbled on just the neatest lilllu pai'Cel that ever was folded, measur¬ ed, I was sure, by line and plummet, and addressed ' Miss Isabella Forslen' So hero was the mystery of the note writing all e.vplaiued. But what cowW bo in that snowy envelope's It looked like a book, it fell like one ; but W-aller, bold, frank, merry-hearted Cousin Walter would never be so sentimental. No! it was doubtless something else, but whall Ah ! thero Was a whel-slonc for curiosity! liow many fingers sidled towards the knot, and huw I f'eltlhe pupils of my eyes dilating dl the Ihought that nothing bul a thin fold of pa¬ per lay between me and the mistcry of a .genuine love-token ! But I resisted the turnjilation, much as the t'lTorlcost and put back llie iitlle package on tho table 1 As t did so I was .startled bythe sound of afoot' step, and, on lurning round, suddenly en- couiilered my Cousin Waller.
"My dear Miss Vurcstac <.'- 'Dear Is¬ abella !'' C'iiai'ining 'Bel,'' repealed I, wilh Id'ovuking volubilily, and then pjiuled to lhe littlo package inquiriugl}'. Walter blushed lo llie roots of his hair, and look¬ ed very foalishi
'Now, you siiail tell me all about it, Walter—how you argued the case, what sho said, and when yuu are to speak to tjncle Forester.'
'Nonsense, Fan! hush! Youarewrong all wrong!'
'And you aro quite indifferent to Cou= sin'i3ul.,,eh1 and she lo you!—and these stealthy.meetings mean nothing!'
'You and I have bocu together so fifty limeSj Fanny.'
' Aye; liecaiiso we arc <;oU3in.s-=-iiiore, brother and sisier. Bul keep your own counsil. Waller, ifyou will,' and throwing down the package, and musloring as much of an air of ollended dignily as I Could convenienlly assume, I passed on lo the dour.
' Slop, Fanny,' and Walter drew my arm wilhin his;'you shall nol bo angry wilh me afler—after allyou have done. But in Irulh I havc nolhing lo tell. I have never said a word to your cousin that you, thai all uiight not hear—Ihere are reasons why I should not. Wo arc both youiif, and I —' an o.xpressiou of deep pain Hashed acuss the countenance ot Cousin Walter, and he bent his forehead for a moment upon his doubled hand; ' and I am j/oor, Fanny !"
'Toor!' I exclaimed, wilh the most in¬ nocent wonder.
'Aye! poor, Fanny!—owing my bread lo your father's bounty, and heis notrichj you know, my iloar. it would be villanoud in me lo try to engage lhe elVeclions of Isabella Forester under such circumstan¬ ces,- and yet I am sure she knows I love her;'
' But you are sure of nothing with regard tohcrl'- I remarked, wilh assumed cold¬ ness. ,
'Do you lUink so, Fanny 1 Do you think her altogether indifferenU'
' She has been accustomed to admiration ever since she knew what it meant.'' ' True, true!'
' And will be a great belle nexl winter.' 'Aye, and forget me, Fanny ; it is but righl and natural.'
'It seems she has but a glanfie or two to forget.'
' What would you have mc dol'' 'In truth, Walter, I amnot a very sage adviser, and perhaps, shall, girWiko, speak raorc from the heart than head; but of one thing I am sure, if 'Bel, Forester had a brother he would be demanding your in- lent ions. ' ' Oh! it would bc wrong—' 'If there is wrong, Walter, ithas been commilled already,"
Cousin Walter looked troubled, and thereupon ensued ono of those long, con¬ fidential communings that 'Bel's coming So entirely Interrupted. It ended in un¬ folding the little package, though Walter blushed as though he had been detected in a crime. He had reason lo blush. A full- grown boy of nineteen making a preseni of a copy of Lalla Rookh, and pencil- marked, loo ! Yes, as I live, along a cer¬ tain fine stanza comraoncnig,
" There's n bliss hcyoiid all that the minstrel Ims told."
there was a line drawn quile distinctly. Oh 1 how closely I held my fingers over my lips lo prevent the laugh: bulitJcouW burst forth, and Ihough Cousin Walter looked exceedingly mortified, Uo could bul join it.
I fancied that the country grew ralher dull to 'Bel, afler Walter lelt us, and .she really acquired quile a tinge of senlimen- talily when she was taken home. She has since become a vory great belle, asl expecled does nul like to talk of her visit to lhe country, and is very impalioiit if I chance lo mention to her the name of Cousin Waller. Sho may have forgollen him. I kntiw not, bul I du know that when she opened a little cabinet the olher day, conlaining a few precious keepsakes, I discovered a prelty volum'j with an lim- bossed morocco cover, thiit I had seenbo- ¦fore. On taking it up it opened of iliilf, and my eyes fell upon the words,
" There'.^ n bliss beyond all thai the minstrel has told."
for the pressed remains of my poor rtiso- bud lay carefully treasured between ithe leave.
Cousin Walter is to be admitted ne.\t winter, and then—ahem.
THE DESERTED VILLAGE.
A  .S .4 fi>  1" S C T r R E.
It will be remembered thai the village of WoodvillOj Miss., was visited^by the yellow fever duringlhe paslseason, andthatdeath and desolation followed in ils train. The Woodville Republican gives the fullowing touching and pathetic description of tho desulution prodiiced by the epidemic:
Our heart is heavy and almost desolate, ourspii'ilsdie within us, as wesitdown aod think of the scenes of the last few weeks. We have just crawled from the brink of the grave and pausing in feebleness and ex¬ haustion not far from the door way, wo look around for the ' old familiar faces'— bul wo see them not. The eyes that beamed upon us in joy full welcome, will look upon, us no more. The voices elo¬ quent and harmonious, lo which we loved (^o listen, arp still, and lhe hands Ihat spoke lhe warni heart's friendship In their nianly pressure, slilf and cold, are crossed upon those faithful bosoms whence we have been ilccustomod to derive counsel and encour¬ agement, now and unfeeling as the clods that lie aboye them.
"We call, but they answer not again,' friendship and love In all their anguish seemed constrained to-i.-iquire. 'Do they love us yetT' But the question falls wiihoiit an echo, and no answer comes back from Ihntshore where our friends that so'lately walked, those sireets with us, havcgone. We look around us. Yoniler, heap beside heap, in many a row, He gathered into one neigh¬ borhood the old and the young^he rich and the poor: allthe cares and,anxieties of life forgotten; and.the tenements that held those fiery spirits are as (jiiiet now as if they had never been aught s-ave pari and parcel of that dust with which they now mingle.
The terrible disease has robbed us of hiaiiy of ihb very best eiti-iens of which \Ve conld boast. With file grasp of an in- vissible Hercules its almighly hand came down upontheheartsof mon, crushing out the very spark of life, ore people were well aware that their friend.? were in dan¬ ger. Thon camo the sound and sight of liroe, such ds our lilile village never con¬ ceived of before. The anvil ceased to echo forth ils clang, the sledge was unlifled lhe bellows breathed not, the' fire of the furnace burned out.
The sav.', tho plane, and the hammer grew still. Merchants .shulup tlieirstorcs, and walked home lo die. No .sound came upon the car. .savethe clink of the ham¬ mer, or the grating of file saw, as the un¬ dertaker hastily threw together the last narrow withdrawing room of poor mortali¬ ty. Then there was- suffering. • Dis''(5asc and death soon had a great majfirily, an'd file very few that remained to take care of the many sick, looked iiiorc like the ghosts of Ihosi; who had died, than living men and wuniBli. ""
People fled llicir homes in fright and consternation. Every filing seemed to partake of file general terror; The foli¬ age of the trees turned yellow, the sky was of tt pale sickly green, and for six weeks the hollow wind came from the norlh and casl incesjanlly, with a dealhli- ncss in its touch enough to shatter the nerves of tho heaUiiy. Our streets were deserted.
I'he Grass bid fair Id stsflng up where merry foet had so recently gone down. Yet fiiere was one road in which no grass grew. Il load lo the grave yard.

DAVID riOSTKTTER. September 11, ISW. r4.,3
The Sunbury American slatM iliat tliero lio- be.^n a rise in bolh branchc9 of the Siistiuelinnna", and BCTcral hundred rafls are already dcsccndittj, '
An elderly gentleman, with a straight coat and broad-rimmod beaver, passing along Blain street, a few days since, step¬ ped upon some peach pearings, which a young dandy at one of our dry good stores had just thrown down near where he was standing. The passenger was oft' his guard, but contrived to escape a fall bj- exchanging it for a severe wrench of the lower limbs. He said nothing to the author of his mischances, uut stepping in¬ to the store, accosted its owner, " Friend, can thee lend me a broomi"
The broom was prompily tendered, and the Quaker applied it to tlie pearings with some diligence, as well as dilTiculty from their adherence lo the pavement in their mashed state, greatly to the amuse¬ ment of the bystanders, and the anno}'- anco of tho cleric. Under these circum¬ stances, the fullowing dialogue took place: CVer/j.—Whal is lliat fori (iiiaker.—To get these pearings into the gutlcr.
Clerk.—Lot theni alone ; Ihoy do you no harm.
Quaker.—Thai's a mistake, fiiend, I have hurt niyself in going down street, andl may again on iny return. Besides sonic body else may gut a fall over them.
Clerk.—That would be none of your business.
Quaker.—That is another mistake of thine, friend. Some nuiglibor of mine may be badly hurt,and I may havo to con¬ tribute to his relief, perhaps tohinsupport. It i.Sjbulh my business and thino.
Clerk.—You may make if your business ifyou choose, bul it is none of mine.
Quaker.—I am not sure of lliat. If peo¬ ple get.hurt often befure thy door, it will get an ill name, and ihy employer will lose custom, and thee perhaps Ihy place. Theo. should consider better of things.
This raised a general laugh on lhe clerk who withdrew; and when lite old Friond returned the broom into ils place and went on his way, he probably left a wholesome lesson hohind him.—Cin, Adv.
