•It'sa matter ot iii'!iJrerenc« lo me —wholly 80. As an old friend of Mr linulfnrd'd, 1 thought it but right to make tbia offer for lhe benefit ofhis aon. Not thati: ia of any special importance to me j for I can have my pick- of a dozen lads quite as bright as your b.-ty. and a.s well suited formy purpose. To EJwanJ I liuve given tbe preference, out of regard u> liig ; father. You decline my offer to talte bJm, nud that ends the matter.    I have done my duty.'
Mr. Gardiner—thot wns tbe man's name- turned partly away, and made a step towards tbe door, Mrs. Bradford, instead of seeking to prevent his abrupt departure, shrunk deep er in tbe chair that supported her slender per son. How strong a contrast presented he tween tbe two ; one a stout, confident, eu^y-to -do in the world, selfreliant man; the other a weak, almost friendless, snd and desponding woman.
With his hand upon tbe door, Mr. Gardiner paused, and looked back, half proudly upon the sorrowing widow of his enrly friend, whose eyes, cast down, ventured not to meet his gaze.
' Think again, ma'am,' said be coldly, almost severely.
* I have thought it all over, Mr. Gardiner,' was answered tn a firmer voice than the man expected to hcnr. At the .-jame moment tbe eyesof Mrs. Bradford were lifted tohis face- Steadily she gazed, until his eyes fell to the floor.
* I have thought it all over,' she repeated, ' and my deciaion bas not been made without a long and, painful struggle. For your kind preference, believe mo, T nm grateful; and I thank yon for it in tbe name of him who, when living, you called your friend. But, I cannot accept the advantage you offer myson.'
« Good morning, ma'am,' The words were 8iid abruptly, almost rudely, A moment after and the door closed heavily.
' Mother,'said a lad, wbo, until now, b^J remained a silent observer of what passed be¬ tween bis mother nnd her visiter, 'why won't you let me go to Mr. Gardiner's ? I'm sure he offered ua very fair- Three dollars n week for the first year; and after that, as much more as I migbt be worth to him. That was wbat he said.'
Edward had come to the side of his mother; and stood looking quite soberly iuto her face. It was clear, from the tone of his voice that he was not pleased with ber decision.
* I don't believe I'll ever have as good an offer again. He wanted mc, and said he'd do well by me ;'-ndded the boy pettishly.'
< I have not declined tbis propositiou of Mr. Gardiner*B wilbout good reason, Edward.' Mrs. Bradford spoke with gentle earnestness, and there were tears in hcr eyes as ^he lifted them to the fine, manly face ofher son.
*ril never have ant'lbcr chance Hke this,' eaid Edward.
'A chance for what?' asked hia mother.
'Mr. Gardiner is a rich man,' SJiid the  boy.
* I know be is,' was answered. ' He's doing a large businesa.'
;Yc3.'
i And he promised to do well by me.' ' '*He did.   And yet, Edward, it was best for me to decline bis offer; and the day will come, I trust, when you will aee this as clearly as  I do.'
The boy was far from being aatisfied. Tbe necessity for entering upoii some employment • WBB imperative; that be clearly nnderstood, and his mind was made up to do bis part bravely. Two places were offered for bis ac¬ ceptance, one in the large, wholesale store-of Mr. Gardiner^ and tho other in the counting room of a MrXee, a youngman of small means who had jost started a commission buainess, Mr. Leo conlj offer no salary for the first yenr; and this was a serious drawback, for Mr. Brad¬ ford's incomo wos exceedingly lin?ited—iusiiffi¬ cient in fact, for the comfortable maintenance of herself and son,'
In deciding between the two situations offer¬ ed to Edword, she had auffered a strong con¬ flict.. ¦ The fairest promise of worldly advan- tage.for her son, waB on tho side of the rich t&rchantj buteho bad no confidence is his principles. That he lacked integrity of char¬ acter, and, in business, was guilty of prac¬ tices which her clear sense of what waa right hetween'maniond man,hesitated not to class as dishonest actions, she knew thro' her hu band ^ who had beoome attached to him enrly in life, but in lattter yeara had withdrawn himself from an Intimate association.
Jomee Lee was tbe younger brother of a Tery dear friend, and a man of different stamp from Gardiner. Ho hnd been cnirefolly educa¬ ted—morally as well aa intellectually—aod boro the reputation, among all with whom he had any intercourse, of a juat man. This was the reason why Mrs. Bradford decided toplace Edward in his ou-e, instead of accepting the more advantogeons offer of Gardiner.- Inlook- ing lo the fatnre<f her child, she hadaregard of something more permanent, moro to be de- Bired,audmore sohl-sotiflfying, than wealth or poation. ; Of aU things, ehe wished to.see him grow np a trne man. Notn mere aelf-seeker; not one who, to elevala himself, -woiild ooldly tread down the Treak, or wrong the helpless and ignorant. She hadtried'to make Edward comprehend the wide differenoe between the   cbaiacter of theae two men, and the great '¦ in¬ jury he miget sustain incoming under the in¬ flnence and oontrol of Mr Gardiner. Bat Ed¬ ward B&w only the worldly advantage that was ptonaised, and pereeived in the niothcr'a objec- tioasonly idle feara. .
Thus was Mra. Bradford's trial made only the more severe. If there had been cheerfolt or even dntifnl acquiescence on thepartof her BOn, her feelings oh the occasion wonld have been of a Iobb painfol eharacter. But she was tewlute*-The plaee offered by Mr. Lee waa i^epted, and Edward entered his connUbg room,' aimply in obedience to hiff mother's wiflhea.
When it became known among- the'' friends of Mra. Bradford, that she had refiiskd to'4et Edward go into Mr. Gardiner's store,' she Wa^ Beverly, blamel A brother of her late hns- ^ banii iiiid inany harsh things to ber on the snb- j eoii mnd some that ahe felt to be insultmg.-^^ Biitiddiiiyot waver, evei thongh fazmly esr' tnirijswttentsfollowed,-,and eho was left atfli u^i alMeiitho'TTorliu
the aupport of herself and son. Mrs. Bradford now began to revolve iu her mlud the ways nnd means of procuring nn additional incomo.
'What shall I do?' How earnestly, even tearfully, did uhe ask this iinestion. How enr- neatly and tearfully ia itdnily asked by tbous- nnd, who, like Mrs. Bradford, are thrown upoo tho. uiirld, and made wholly dependent On their f.'fble rennurces! Yet to whom comes a clear, cihfident answer!
The education of AI rs. Bradford had not been thorough. A little of almost everything taugh t in fashionable Echoi'ls she bad leArned; yet nothing had been so fully acquired as to give hor a ieucher's proficiency She had a fair acqu.iintance witb French, and could speak it wilh some llueni;y: but pos.'ie.ssed oo critical kuowledge of the language, Sbo could draw t«ler:ibly well; but had no taste for tbe beauti- tni art. For years her music had been ueglect- e.i. So fnr, therefore, na ber early edocation w;i^ concerned, it availed her little or nothing in the preaent trying position of nffaira.
" What shall I tlo?' How sadly, almost hiipuiessly, over and over again did Mra. Brad¬ ford repeat these words; and yet there was not even an eoho to the question.
Oue day it was mentioned in hcr presence tb.at the Miitrou of a certain charitable institu¬ tion had resigned her place, and that the board of Directors were about appointing auother— It flashed through her mind that here was a chance for her; bul, with the (bought pride awoke, and her cheeks burned as ahe imagined herself'iu the position of a Matron where ahe bild once been a lady patroness. For a timg 8be shrunk away iuto herself, and pushed the thought afar off. But turn which way she would, no light from any other quarter broke through the clouda tbat gathered above her, bluck as midnight.
Nearly a month had gone by since Edward entered the counting room of Mr. Lee. From the beginning, he had looked sober, and seemed tpiritless. To him the present was cheerless und the future lured bim on with no bright promise. A scbool companion, named Henry Long, had obtained the situatiou with Mr. Gar¬ diner, and it so happened that the two lads met almost every day. Their conversation nat¬ urally turned npon their relative poaitions ; nnd tlie contrasts which wore drawn, always left Edward's mind in a atate of dissatisfaction.- The business of Jlr. Gardiner waa very heavy, bis employees numbering over one hundred ; while in the store and counting room of Mr. Lee were only Edward and a porter. Mr. Lee kept his own books, Mr. Gardiner waa, more¬ over, a 'liberal' man—generous towarda his clerks, and not over particnlar in regard to ; them, provided they were always in place and active during buaiueas hours. There was in thewhole operations of his large establishment, DU imposing progression, which, in contrast with the intermitting and lighter operations of the young commission merchant, made the latter appear in the eye of Edward, almost contemptible.
He came home oue evening, after one of bis talks with Uenry Long, considerably fretted at what he chose to think the greai injustice practiced by his mother in refusing to let him accept tbe placo which had been offered by Jlr. Gardiner. Oa that very day, a favorable answer bad been received by Mrs. Bradford to hcr application for tbe situation of Matron in on Orphan Asylum.
Sho bad notspoken to Edward on the subject, und'hehadno suspicion of what waa in her mind. How to break it to him, was how the subject of her thoughts. That ho would op¬ pose her, sbe knew; aud the more strongly, because it involved tbe breaking up of their borne. And was it just to him for her to do eo ? That was still a question, ever recurring,' thougb onawered over and over again—concln- sively, the mother tried to think.
Edward came in with bis nsael quiet step.— There waa no smile on his lips aa he glanced into bis mother's face and thongh she tried to smile an evening welcome home, there wns only a feeble ray upon her countenance that soon faded.
; ' Edward', said Mrs, Bradford, as tbey were "about leaving the tea-table, almost compelling herself to introduce a subject that could no longer be keptback,—' we shall have to make a change in our mode of life,' The boy looked at her inquiringly.
* I need not say, my son, that we are very poor,'she added ;'too poor even to maintain our preseat style of living.'
*Well, mother, whoso fault 13 it?' Edward spoke coldly—noy, severely.
' I do not charge it as the' fault of any onCj' 'answered Mrs. Bradford.
* I do, then,* was the quick response. Ac¬ cusation and rebuke, both, were in tbo boy's tones.
'Upon whom?' The mother looked bim firmly in the face.
'It is your fault,* saidhe.    ¦ :    'Edward I'
* I cannot help it, mother. But for yonr re¬ fusal to let me accept the offer of Mr. Gardiner, I might now be receiving three dollars weekly, which would help ^ great deal.*
'In that'small gain woat& have been, Hear, tbe Beed ofan infinite loss, my son/ The voice of Mrs,'Bradford trembled, ahd her eye grew suddenly dim,
' Uncle Bradford said that was all a woman's silly notion, and I believe bim.'.^-
Edward uttered this with_a cruel tbonghtleas- ; ness, and bis words pierced the heart of his mother. A little while ahe looked with a rap¬ idly changing:countenance into his face—^look¬ ed half timidly, but oh! so sorrowfully; and'1 then leaning down until her  forehead rested
I must Bup- My hand.s. are Nu—no-yyou
ready . and my  heart   willing, shall not go there.'   ,
' Mr. Lee cannot pay you a salary at ppfs- ent,
'Then I must find some QHc who cad,' was the resolute iiu^wer.
* I tlo not with you to leave Mr. Lee's service. I know it will bu best for yon in the end to re¬ main witb hira,' intcrpcJSed Mr:i Bradford.
¦ * I ciiunol work, starving,, said the lad, bit¬ terly.
' Calm yourself, Edward.' The mother apoke earnestly nnd tenderly. ' Trust something in my judgeuHint. Time will prove to ynu that I am right in what I propose doing.'
' Right to take from me my hoiue '(' said the boy, with a niournfuluess in his voice that thrilled on his mother's heart-strings, and start¬ led in her mind a new train of tboughts.— Yes, it would be takiug from him bis bome, poor nnd humble thougb it was; for when she entered upou the Matron's duties, be would go in among strangers ; and who could tell whe¬ ther the new relations into whioh he must como, would be for good or evil ?'
And now, Mr.^. Bradford's purpose, so firmly settled, began to waver
. 'Youhave not yet accepted the offer?* iu- quired Edward, after his excitement of feeling had ina measure aubsidciT, aod thought began to flow ou in a clearer current.
•No, but I willbe expected togive an auswer at once' •
'Can it be put off until tho day after to-mor¬ row?'
'   'It might.'
; 'Then don't say yes to-morrow ; don't moth' er!    Promise me, won't you V
'But what will it avail, my son V
'Only wait, mother,' urged the lad eagerly. «Say that you will wait.'
*I need not give the answer to-morrow ; and if yoa so earnestly desire it, I will not.'
Edward said no more, but from that moment his thoughts were indrawn, and he remained duriug the evening in a state of deep abstrac¬ tion. All the powers of hia youog mind he was taxing for a solution of one of life's intricate problems. Ue wua in a more tranquil, hopeful state ou the next morniug; for he had como to a deciaion, aud tbat was to tell tbe story of his mother's extremity, and ask from Mr. Lee either the paymont of a salary, or a release from his engagement.
Mr. Lee heard his story, and it awakened a strong interest in favor of tho lad. forhe was a manaf gsoeruussympatHlea. Bnt the question of paying Edward a salary was.one thathe could hot easily decide. His buainess was only iu its forming stage, and iu commencing it, he had. gcadnated his expenses tothe very lowest scale. It wns part of his calculation to do without a clerk for the firat year; aud to Uko an offico boy, who would be compensated for his services during at least thatperiod by tbo knowledge of busiueas he would acquire. This economical arrangement ofhia affairs was uot, in any sense, tbe offspring of moan cupidity; nor. was it ground in a principle of iujustice to others.— It was only a measure of prudenco, the diotate of a clear judgment. 'Little boats koep near tho shore,' was one of his safe axioms. : 'I will think about this, Edward,' he answer¬ ed, kindly, after the boy had told bis story 'and see wbat can be done. I like your minly apirit, and right feeling towarda your mother.* |
There was somothiug^so cheerful aud en- j couragiug ia Mr. Lee's voice,, that tbe lad felt i his heart bound with hope. The fact was on this very morning, the young commission mer¬ chant had received a letter from a large mnnn- ifacturing establishment at tbe East, notifying bim of ahandsome consignment of goods, and promising to keep him supplied. Tho goods Were in demand, ntid sales could bemade to pome of the best housesln the city. From this iaource aloae, his profits would Ue sevcraVbun- jdred dollars in the year.
Mr. Lee was not one of tbose men whose sym¬ pathy for othera grows narrower, as tbo dawn of a more prosperous day begins to break along the murky horizon.
1 'I am glad for his sakOi as. well aa for my own,' was the thought-which flitted through his mind, after Edward'had told hiastoi^y, 'that a favorable change in business prospects bas just occurred. I can now afford to pay him something; nnd I will do it. A lad with auch ;a spirit deserves encouragement.' j As Edward was about leaving the countiug- Toomat dinner ttme,.Mr. Lee said to him :
¦ I have been thinking over what you told me ithia morning, and.I have every diaposition to imeetyour wiabos. AJy businesa, asyouknow, <is yet small, and tbe income from it limited.
But I have just received taome better consign ,ments, with the promise of liberal shipments ; of goods, from a large manufactory. Yester¬ day, I do not think yoar application wonld have met with a favorable answer. Now I can loffer JOU a salary of .one hundred and fifty dollars for the first year.'    ; .
; Tears sprang to the lad's eyes, and he could. \ not restrain the impolse tbat promoted him to ' IsBiae tho hand of Mr. Lee. ' ^  -
; *0b! I am so glad!' be exclaimed, as alight .broke over his face. ,"",7, ! 'But that sum,' adde^'Mr. Lee, 'will not go .'far towards sapporting yqiiraeif and mother."'' . 'Mother has.a amaiUnoome; and this will ;help very mach. I tUi4ksbe can make itdo." { Mr; Lee mnaed for-some moments. \    'I've been tbinlting since yoa spoke to me
'this morning -'
Mr. LOe paused, and seemed turning some- .thing.over in his mind,'that was not alt^ether clear to him.
I've been thinking, perhaps, yon might do
upon the table at which she sat," sobbed loudly, i something for ydnrself,'- he at length s^id.
while hcr body shootae wtth a" convolsion.
Touched, but not subdued by .'tlus eiffect of his hard words, Edward arose^.and cominenced walking the room hnrriejily.".GraduaUy Mrs. Bradford regained posaesion of her feelings, aad, in a, few minutea, was able to command, her voice entirely. ¦        ,
*I httiro'lookedto yonr good alone, my son,' said she ,* ' and time will prove that I did not err in accepting the place you have, instead of the one offered by Mr. Gardiner. ' Bo your mother at least the j^as'tiCe^ip.be^^ that 'ahe' waagoverned by no selfish Qonuiljeratioii.^ But to recur to what I wished to Bay iia, the begin-^ ing.

But, gaug y'r ain gait-r-gang y'r ain gait! It will be all the-aamq to me. And just bear tbis in mind—don't call on mc to help you out of any of the troubles yonr stupidity may create."
And Mr. Bradford went off in a passion, leaving the widow in tears.
•Don't cry mother dear—don't cry,' said Ed¬ ward, tenderly, coming to the sido of his weeping parent, aud laying his face to hers. 'You're not goiug to tbe Asylum. Mr. Lee says bo will pay me one hundred and fifty dollars for the first year, and that is as much as Mr. Gardiner promised. He spoke very kindly to me; and said he'would show me how I could trade a little for myself, and make a few dollars uow and theu. Oh, mother! I feel such a weight taken from my heart.'   .
Mrs. Bradford could not answer in words, but abe drew the boy's face tightly to her breast, and kissed over and over again, fer¬ vently, bis pure white forehead.
'Mr. Lee is a true man,' she said, when sbe cpuli trust herself to speak. *He is not richf like Mr. Gardiner; but he bas a larger heart, my son.'
Edward raised himself up, and looked earn¬ estly at his mother. . Her words seemed to bave light in tbem, and made things clear which were beforo in obscurity.
'A kind, true heart, Edward,* the mother added, 'is worth moro thaa gold; and you can 'trust it.better.'
'Mr. Lee has a kind, true heart,' said the ^ad. speaking as if to himself. ' 'That I have known for years, Edward,'an" swered hia mother; 'and he has not only a true heart but just and honorable principles,7— It was for this reason that I decided against Mr. Gardiner and in bis favor. I knew it yould be better for you in the end to be undor 1 bis core ; and, already, tbis is beeomiog appa¬ rent.even in your eyea.*
I serious thought wos now given by Mrs. Brad¬ ford to the subject of nccepting or declining the appoinhnent which she had just received. jWquld it be right for her, under the circum¬ stances, to refuse an offer of five hundred dol' lara a year? Anolher suoh opportunity would hardly again occur. If ahe did refuse, the act ;WOuld estrange certain frienda who had inter; ested themselves in her behalf; and in ease of future extremity, no dependence cuuld bo pla- 'ced on their kind offices. As these, and other ¦considerations were revolved, her mind camo 'into a bewildered state; and ,qho was sorely oppreaaed by doubts. Edward opposed her acceptance, and begged her not to take from :him his home, humblo and obacuro though It iiaight be.
j 'I will live ''u a garret with you, mother,' ho :said. Anywhere—I will be contented with poor food and plain clothing, until I grow older.'
' If the thought of Mrs. Bradford had in any irespect turned inwards upon herself—if, in thinking of a clear, income of five hundred dol¬ lara a year, her imagination had pictured a condition of freedom from care and wordly aniieties.-every selfish impulse was stifled now. 'What will be best for my boy V That wns the; , earnestly asked question, and upon that turned a decision of the case. Clearly, now, she aaw the dangers to which Edward would be exposed,' if removed from her loving care—her watchfol guardianship—and wondered, witbin herself that this had not vividly presented.itself before/ 'We will remain together, myson,' were her: camly .spoken words, after all was decided in" her mind; 'and if we. can only get bread to ;eatand water to drink,., we will ahare them,- and be thankful that the worse evil of separa¬ tion is yet far from ns.
Both mother and son had passed throngh what to them was a fiery trial, but now they i saw witb a purer vision; now they, felt strong¬ er to endure, and had a better .hope- for the future.
When the. purpose ofMrs. Bradford waa ,;made known to her friends^ aad .ihey ,became aware of the slender support :8he bad. chosen,: instead of tbe comforla.ble incomo iwhich had. been offered for her occeptanceiithey were greatly displeased, and. ¦ censured. ber strongly —even going so far as to cbarge her with lack of energy, and inbiauating that both pride and indolence had conspired. lo.effeot her decision.- Sbe boro the stqtm meekly,: forlsfaei knew that the words of .q^ustificatiau; she qoald speak woiild not be understood' Estrangement from her husband's relaUons was,the consequence, and an almost total exclusion from the old so¬ cial circles.
^Patiently an^ hopefully ahe bore all this, for her earnegli.self-devoted lwe;for.Edward gave clearness tp:hBr.visiQni and.she saw that sh^ was moving in the rightway. Very poorly did they live on their slender income, bnt day after day^waa the widowlsi heart made'glad by the knowledge that her son was graduaUy learning to estimate, truly tfae^haracterof Mr. Lee,and to imbibe from him tBoae-higUer principles of I aotionby whioh his own life.was'governed.-^ X^Q.t6Jiiaproi|us«.:to Edintrdt'tho latter had ; not: only, advsiieef ^Jiim a nhhlf sum^ of money to. phrehase oertainiartkdes 4n-whioh- h»migh' freely traffic^-bat iliBd-«d4PiBed4iitn':wberVand bbw to buy,' and: where ^ to sell. •¦ From > £his sonroe theiad waft^ooainreceipt^of:Iight'pr(>l fitsrthat wereaever.&bm the beginning, ¦ lesq IhaKfiTo: orsix doUirs^a :mo'nth aH of which was gi»ett,toh3a;iiiotfiiBr.   .': ;.

And now I am sure yon; can liegin to see how grave my reasons were'"forn6t permitting you to accept tho otfer be seeriicd'sb kindly to make.'
What a glow of pleasure warmed tho bosom of Mrs. Bradford as her son expressed strongly hia abhorrence. ofMr. Qordiner'a principles, and he aaid that he hoped over to be .thankful that be had a mother wbo was wise enough to save bim frqni,the influences of such a.man.
Time passed on; Mr. Lqe's business steadily increased, though uot rapidly. -He was activet; prompt, and honorable in dealing, thusBCcuring a good reputation in business circles. At the end of a year he was able to increase.Edward's salary to three hundred dollara, and so intelli¬ gent had the lad become in such matters of trade as were permitted to him on his own ac. count, that he added two hundred dollars to this income during the second year he was with tbe young commission mercbant. From this time, the widow and her son, thongh atill in obscurity, and overiooked by friends who sbould bave stood by thero in their hours qf need, and encouraged them as they passed throngh the trials of adversity, had not only all things needful for comfort, but enjoyed a measure of happiness that is meted out to but few.
The years now glided by with a fleeter mo¬ tion. Mr. Lee'a business steadily increased.— His strictly honorable dealings had become widely known ; and overy season he received new and more valuable consignments. -For Edward, be had from the beginning felta true interest. Very careful was be to instjlj just principles into his mind, and to demonstrate the fallacy of the bad maxim so widely preva¬ lent, that no mau can conduct business success¬ fully at the present day, and be strictly honest. Success, he always maintained, was dependent on a thorough knowledge qf the business in which a man engaged, united with untiring in¬ dustry. 'This,* he would say, »is the only safe road in which to walk. Allothers are fnll of danger.' Every year he continued to increase the salary of Edward; for every year he'be¬ came of more value to him.
It was just aeven years from the day on which Mra. Bradford declined the offer of the i rich mercbant to tnko her son into his service, i Circumstances were consideaably altgred. Ed-' ward's aalory was enabling her to live in more eomfort, and somo of hor old frtenda were be¬ ginning to approach ngain. Of tbese was the mother of Henry Long, the boy who had taken the place at Mr. Gardiner's. Henry had grown up ^ £oy. ilasbing young man; nnd it was plain ;to all close observers, that in his contact with theworld. he had aoiled hia garment.^,
Mrs, Loug, rather a worldly-minded woman ibersolf, did not seem clearly conscious of the .t:hance for the,worse that was steadily progres¬ sing. Henry had a manly, cdnlment way about him, that gratified her vanity; and ho adroitly deceived her in many things that a truer-hearted woman would havo known by nn nnerring instinct. Mrs. Long had called twice upon Mrs. Bradford; and tbe latter, who did luot mucb care to renew the acquaintance,- felt that it was hardly kind not to return a visit.— So, one fine morning, sho rung the bell at Mrs. Long's door. The aervaut who admitted her had a frightened look, a'nd exclaimed as ;aoon as the door was. closed—'Oh ma'm ! go 'up quickly to Mrs. Long. I don't know wbat ails herr
' Is ahe sick V was Mrs. Bradford's anxloiis inquiry.
;    'Sometbiug'a the matter.    She's in a dread¬ ful way,' answered *he servaut.    * A man lef*' a letter for her just now ; and as soon as she began to read it, ahe turned us pale aa death^ 1 :and fell right down. ou the floor.,  I got her on .the bed, and  she's lying there now, moaning j and crying, oh, so dreadfully!   Do go up and iseo her.   I don't know what to do.' i . Mrs. Bradford went hastily up to the cham- j ber of Mrs.,Long.   Aa the opened the door, (the groans that fell upon her ears, were so ful^ idf anguish, that every nerve thrilled with pain. iiCrduching down upon *he bed, with, her face pressed into and hidden on a   pillDw> lay tfae Lfiend sho had called to visit, shivering ns if Ijin a strong ague fit.    Going quickly to the bed¬ side, she placed her hand npon Mrs. Long, and repeated her name. ¦ The suflering womau did not seem to feel the touch, uor bear the voice;; ' Mrs. Long ! Mrs. Long I'   The'call was re¬ peated in alow, earnest, penetrating voice; bu' the only response was a moan raore full of ou- guish. 'My-friciid! Mra. Lougl' It availed not.   Her earaseemed  deaf—hcr senses all indrawn..
What great.troublo has come.upou you so suddenly, my friend V Very tenderly did Mrs. Bradford speak, bending ber face low to the ear of the wretched woman. There was a half smothered murmur.of words* . ¦»It is Mrs. Bradford,' aaidthe visiter ¦The hands of Mrs. Long were instantly wav¬ ed backward with a.repelling motion.
.' Think of mo as a true friend—as an earnest symphatiziog friend.'
'Mother!" Mother! send for my mother,' was tho sufforer'a answer. And.ngain she wav¬ ed her handfor Mrs. Bradford to leave her.
Delicacy forbid furtherintrusion du the part of Mrs. Bradford. Leaving tfie room, she made, known tho wish pf Mrs. Long to have hef mother, who iived near by, aent for, and went back to her. own home, deeply pained at the scene she bad witnessed, and wondering t'j^hat it couid mean..
^When Edward came home that evening, he said'to his.motber the momenthe entered: **A dreadful thing has happened here Ito-day.' *What ?'was the quick inquiry, "'Henry L'ong sailed iii the English steamer at twelve o'clook, after having robbed his em¬ ployer of more than a hundred thousand dol¬ lars.' --.¦¦¦ 'C-'^h'noi Edward!'

The Osage Orange.
As the subject of Osago Orango lietlgipg ia engaging the attentipaof some of yonr eastern flgriculturalista, allow me through the columns of your paper to give a description of this tree. The growlli of thia tree is confined to northern Texas, particularly on Red river and its tributaries, it grows to a large size, its leaves and twigs, ami the bulb, or orange which it bears resembles very inuch'those of the com¬ mou orange, and in the fall of the year when the bulb has attaincd'ita full size and yellow tinge, gives the tree the appcaranco ofa gigan¬ tic orange trefe'filled witb the delicious fruit. The wood is extremely tenacious, and is much sought after by coach manufacturers in the surrounding Statea, it resembles tbe wood, Kuown by Eastern dyers as Fustic, both iu ap- peoranceand coloriug properties.
Uedgiug with this article was first tried in Illinois, where it was found to exceed the liug- lisp Thorn, or auy other article used for the same purposo; it was, Eupposed, tbatit would not grow ia a high northern latitude, but has since'proved to grow successfully iu the north¬ ern partof Iowa and Illinois, and is uow very much sought after by the farmera on tbe west¬ ern Prairies. The collecting of the seed is a difficult task, afl every one will testify who haa ever tried; and since the demand for the arti¬ cle has increased, various have been the ways tried (0 lesj^en the luIior of cleansing lho seed fnjtii llic Itulb, one ((!' »vliich 1 imi^l birru >peak of, lis it iiij i-ps lilt "t'l-d und is tlinpwu into the marketa woribleus nriicK'.

of cleansing. A great conii>hrnit has been raised by eastern dealers in thu »nicle, ol the large amount of worthless seed lir<.u-;ht i:ito the market; aud which cannot be detecicul umil it is planted and found uot to grow. The pub¬ lic.should be cautious, nnd know that the seed they purchase waa collected iu a proper man¬ ner.
. The proper way to cultivate a hedge of this article, is bysq^ing the need iu drills, iu the Spring, andcultivato the sprout woll during the season, and in tho followiug Spring trans¬ plant tbesprout iuto the ' Hedge Row,* at the distance of six inches apart. Here it must be well attended for one seasou, asit s uifers se- yercly when young, if weeds and^ grass arc al¬ lowed to grow ubout it. At the age of three or four years itis suflicieutly grown to turn in stock.
Nothing can exceed in beauty a farm hedged with this article, aud its cheapiiesa combiued with its durability, should at once bring it into geberalfavoi with the eastern farmi ri whose greatest expcuse is bis fencing.
