OHB DAY'S SAOBIFICE.
BY VIBUINIA r. T0WN8ESD.
' Oh, dear I   I wish I knew what to do 1'
The lips were juat like the tone, tbat mo¬ ment, half pooling, halt wistfal; indeed, this was the expression of the whole face, aa it pressed itself closer up to tbe window-pane that morning.
It waa a aweet face, thongb by no means ft beautiful one, and you felt intuitively that the pout was improTiaed, and that a smile waa tbe indigenous expression of the full, rounded lips, and of the clear hazel eyes.
Tbey looked out, those eyea, on 3 winter morning, cold and still, for tbe night before bad woven its seamless rope over brown field, and barren hill, aud the trees lifted up their charred foreheads uuder the white baptismal of December.
Overhead the clouds were slowly wrapping their grey folds away from tbe sun, and re¬ vealing pleasant interludes of soft, blue sky, the morning's blessed prophesy written in the heavens above, to the earth beneath, ' The day shall be a very bright one.'
' What a glorious time they will have,' murmurs Grace Hammond, while her little fingers move along the high frost rim on tbe slgea of tbe pane. ' It's full liftoeu miles to tho green, aud they'll be three hours getting there. Then, auch delicious sleighing as it will he, and there are twenty couples going, Cousiu Charley said.
' How I abould enjoy it, witb the late .din¬ ner, and the eveningplaya, and the delight- fal ride home by moonlight. Oh ! it seema to me I never wanted to go anywhere so much in my life.
' Bnt then there's Mattie, dear child, she'd enjoy it even more than I would, buried up as she ia, week after week, in that old red school-house, with those tiresome boya and girls.
' Goodness I I believe it wonld drive me crazy in leas than a month, and yet how patiently and nobly she bears it all.
'If her father hadn't made that wretched speculation before he died, mortgaging even the house they live in.
Mrs. Palmer, with her feeble health, aud those two little children, all dependent on Mattie's services, aud she so delicately, so tenderly reared. I declare, it makes my heart ache lo think of il.
' Didn't she look sweetly, though, at our party the other evening. I spoko before I thought,' Mattie, how becoming black ia to you,' and then tbe tears came iuto her eyes. It waa so careless of ma.
* Weston Hunt was really quite smitten wilh her. I could see this very plainly by the attention be paid ber all the evening, and then Ibis inviting her to go in the sleigh, ing parly to-day provea this, if ever anything did. Why there isn't a girl in all Meadow- brook that wouldn't be proud of his atten¬ tions. And then, how some of them have treated Mattie of late, juat because the fami¬ ly have lost tbeir property. It's a perfect shame, I think.
' But about the sleigh ride, that'a tke quea- tion, and I must decide, now.
' Charley'll be so disappointed If I don't go ;' andthe old, half pouting, half irreaolnte look dashod across the sweet face.
* But there's Mattie again. Il would be such a change, such a pleasure to her to get out of that old school-room for a day; aud if I were lo teach for her, I could think wben night came, I'd made her ao happy, ifl hadn't been ao myself.
' I will, too; that's sellled now. Grace Hammond, yon don't go on that sleighing parly to-day!' Aud the young girl perorated Ibis decision by bringing down her hand emphatically on the window-sill.
Grace Hammond's monologue must have given you a glance into her inner self, read¬ er ; and I can only outline for you, very brieily, her mental character.
She waa the only child of a wealthy far¬ mer, petted, and half spoiled from her in¬ fancy.
Bat ahe was ardeni and impulsive, wilh a rich, deep, loving nature, which uo extrane¬ ous circumstances could entirely change.
She had her faults, and they were many, but ber heart—and it is a blessed thing when you-ean say this of a man or women—her heart vias a true one.
* Mattie darling^—SO wrote Grace Ham¬ mond ten minutes later—' you are going on this sleigh ride, so just don^t say another word about it. Cousin Charely told me Mr. Hunt sent you the invitation an hour ago, and I've taken a notion to play school ma'am foi you to-day. Vve been on scores of sleigh rides this winter, and I think it will do you as . much good to drop the mantle of your dignity en me to-day, as it will my giddy self to assume it.
^ So thr OU) off that school hood from your brown curls, my darling, and call up the old smiles to the soft bloom of your lips, the old light to the summer-blue of your eyes; and in all the annals tf youth, love, and sleigh rides, may there be no pagi so bright as the one this day shall write in the history of Mattie Palmer and Weston Hunt most fervently prays
OEACK BAMBOXD.'
' Not going, Grace! Why, you're surely not in earnest,' and a look of mingled cha¬ grin and disappointment clouded the fine features of the young man, as he turned them on his companion.
'Yes, I am, Charley. You see I've made an engagement for the day whioh renders it quite impossible for me to go. I'm sony, bnt it can't he helped.'
Spile of her efforts, there was a little thread of diaappointment running through the atndied calmneas ot the speaker's voice. 'A fiddle on your engagements, Grace. Why, this will be the greatest sleighing party ofthe season. Come,now, don't think;for a moment of staying at home. We can't do without you at all; so go and get ready n a hurry, for we start al ten. There's a good girl.'
Poor Grace; it was very hard to refuse the pleading of thoae drak, handsome eyes, for Charles Mnnson waa more to tho girl than many cousins ; indeed he waa rather nom¬ inally than really her relative—althongh some marriageB between members of their respective families gave the yonng people the privilege of this appellation.
'Charley, do not urge me. I am very grateful for your invitation, and itpaina me more than you oan imagine to refuse it. Bnt I am compelled to do this." ^ If Grace's manner was cold, it was because her words cost her such an effort.
'Veiy weU, Grace. Of course, I shaU not press my olaima any farther. Bxouae me, If in my desire to secure your company, I have been importunate.   Good morning.'
He lifted hia hat with his natural grace, hut the old, frank amile waa not on his lipi as he left her.
' There I he is certainly offended with me. I knew it would be so,' mnmured the girl as she sank back on the sofa, while the tears brimmed over her brown lashes, for Grace was making no light saorifloe this morning.
' I'm almost sony I sent Mattie that note, but it'a too late to recall it. Chsrleyll take Jane Morton with him, I know; and it will be a great triumph for lor to think he's slighted me.' And the iJair, hanghty ttoa of tbedootor's daughter rose before the yonng f girl, while a sharp pang of Jealousy quivered tluoDgh lier heart.
Bnt It was wearing toward nine o'clock, and QrMelsad little time for reflection. 'I Biiut get T«m to tsk« b» 07e7<dD tbe
cutter,' she murmured; ' I oan easily gain mamma's consent, she is so kind hearted, and Mattie is suoh a favorite witb her.— Goodness I' glancing at the small china clock on the mantel,' I must be off in twenty min¬ utes.'
' Graoie, Qracie, how shall I thank you I' Grace stood at the window, robed for her ride to the school, and wailing impatiently for the sleigh to preaent itself st the front gate, when these words, whispered, becsuae of the teara that lay behind tham, reached her ear.
She turned quickly. ' Why, Mattie, what haa brought you over here V
' I couldn't go without thanking you. Oh' Grace, Grace, you have made me so happy I' And now Mattie's arms were round Grace's neck, while great sobs were shaking her fig¬ ure, and tears raining from the large, mellow eyes.
' You're a real naughty girl.' Grace's lone was half eipostulatory, half scolding. ' Now you'll spoil that charming face of yours, after all my pains,' and she stroked the rich brown curia that fell out of the black straw bonnet.
' Do yon know you're going to pass this day with the only son of a millionaire, aud who, by this invitation, gives very strong evidence of having been captivated by your naughty little self!
Mattie placed her hand on Grace's lips, and shut back the tears from her shining eyea.
' Gracie,' she aaid, and the tones,. tremu¬ lous at Urst, grew strong and deep with pathos as she proceeded—' I must be growing very weak, for it came so hard for me to re¬ fuse that invitation thia morning. You know it is so long since I have had any relaxation, any pleasure, and this hard, barren, toilsome life seemed closing all around me, and I strug¬ gling vainly through it, reaching my gaze out for the light that never came, lifting my hands up with a sharp cry for tbe blessings that never filled them. And somehow, that invitation waa such a mockery lo me ; for you see, dear, I was growing morbid, and I thought how they would all go off light- hearted and happy^ leaviug me choked inhy the biu-e walla of the old school-room. Well, I sat down and wrote my regrets with a steady band, but oh! wilh such a ^heavy heart,- Just as I bad finished il, your note came- oh ! Grace, how shall I tell you the rest ?'
' By saying nothing about it, Mattie. And now, do you go straight home, and dress yourself nicely aa possible for the ride. There comes Tom. Good bye, and a bright day to you, darling. There was a quick rain of soft kisses on the damp cheeks of Mattie Palmer, and Grace Hammond was gone.
I am not one of those, reader, who believe that the ' good doing' always brings, at once ils own exceeding great reward; but rather j that it is ofltimes a blessed legacy, which the present bears through darkness and sorrow to dower the future. And, therefore, I can¬ not assure you that Grace Hammond passed an especially pleasant day in the old red acbool bouse, which stood at the intersection of the four principal stage routes from Meadowbrook.
I know that once during the morning a sudden miat dampened her hazel eyes, for tbe wind brought tbe gay rhythm of the sleigh hells lo her ears, and she heard the joyous laugh ot the young'party, aa it 1 oaped out, full and rich, on the frosty air.
For a moment the oaken desks, the long benches of black, brown, and fiaxen heads, swam before her, and an 'I wish I was wilh them r rushed involuntarily to her lips. But the after thought followed quickly,' I am glad Mattie ia there.'
And when the work was done, the last scholar dismissed, and the short December day, reaching out its oold anna to tho night Grace Hammond knelt down in that little school room, and thanked the Great Father tbat He had given her strength to make this sacrifice ; that she had lived His great, royal law, in loving that day her neighbor as her¬ self.
It was a merry company the great parlor of the old hotel framed in that evening.— Sweet breaks of laughter, the effervescence of youth and glad spirits, came over rosy lips, and bright eyes glanced, and graceful figures fiuttered about the long, old-faaboned room.
Dont you think it very funny Grace Ham¬ mond isn't here V asked a young girl, as ahe came up to the comer where the village belle aat, her bead leaned gracefully to some com- plimentaiy apeech which Charles Mnnaou was that moment making her.
'Well, I don't know.' And the lady twist¬ ed ber diamond ring around her white finger. ' I presume ahe would have come, had ahe received an invitation.'
There was a quick, half imperceptible curl of the young man's lip, notwithstanding his affront at her refusal, Grace Hammond was to his heart what the hanghty lady al his side could never have been.
' I had tho honor ot inviting her myself,' wss tbe reply that well nigh sprang to hia lips, and, with all his chivalry, it was ex¬ ceedingly diiHoalt to suppress il.
But Mattie Palmer had heard all this as she stood near, leaning over an engraving of rustic life, on whose naturalness Mr. Hunt was descanting, and her face flushed eagerly as she turned toward the trio, and her sweet earnest voice anawered: 'Grace remained at homo lo take charge ot my school to-day, so I oould come here. It was very, very kind of her.'
Charles Munson's proud face bent on Mat- tie a look that she could not interpret -, a look of mingled light, gratitude, and tenderness, which she had never seen there before.
He understood it all now—the sacrifice she had made, and the pain it had cost her, and looking down in his heart, ho fell, for the first time, whose face shown there, serene and holy, and that Grace Hammond was his soul'a election.
No wonder hia companion repeated her question tbree times before he heard her.
Grace Hammond, he clasped both ber hands in bis, and said, with mingled tenderness and fervency, " May God take care of yon, my Grace.'
' Now tell me all about the ride, Mattie.— Yon know you're not going home until after tea, so jnst sit down without any domnrring.' Aud Grace pushed Mattie into the cushioned arm chair, and unfastened her bonnet strings while she spoke.
' We had a delighlfol lime, Grace. I never enjoyed myself so much in all my life.' But the beaming of the amile was half lost in the blushes that gathered into tbe usually pale face.
Grace saw these, and with a woman's intu- ilton, she half divined what lay behind them. She pnsbed a stool lo Mattie's feel, and the gray light of tbe departing day looked into tbe window, and aaw a picture which an artiat would have rejoiced iu.
The graceful, unconaoious attitudea of the two girls, tbe sweet, uplifted face of the one, tbe pure, fair, half pensive outline of the other, shaded by its rich curia of brown-black hair, were in baautifnl contrast.
' And was Mr. Hunt as agreeable and chiv¬ alrous as usual V queried Graco, looking up archly into her friend's eyes.
' Of course he was ; but we will not talk aliDUl him now, darling. I bave come over here lo say once more, ' Grace, I thank you,' but that seems a very little, wben I feel so much.'
' Don't say il, then, Mattie ; or rather say it to Qod, that He gave me strength lo reaist the temptation, for il waa not a light one, when Charley came for me; aay it to God that He put it in my heart lo pass one day ot my life in doing unto others aa I would have thean do unto me.'
Teara—tears of happy gratitude were swel¬ ling over the blue eyes ot Grace Hammond.
•' Y'es, darling, I will say it for you, as I have said il for myself every night for the past year,' and Mattie laid her hand solemn¬ ly on Grace's hair.
' It has boen to me a year of struggling and bitterness, ot darkness and teara. Oh, Grace it is a very hard thing to feel that the mother you love, and the little sisters whose help¬ lessness only folds them closer to your heart, are dependent upon yon for the bread they eat, for tbe roof that ahelleis them.'
'I know it is, dearest, aud you have been a brave, noble girl, to do and suffer all you have done for the last year, and—'
'Come, girls, supper's all ready.' Mrs. Hammond's kindly tones broke into tbe room suddenly, and terminated the interview.
'OhI I'm BO glad, Charley,' and Grace sprung up from the sofa, and clapped her hands gleefully aa a child. The young man gazed up into the face of his betrothed, and thought bow very sweet and childlike she seemed, wilh that joy-light breaking into her eyes.
She saw the gUance, and the half fond, half signiCcant smile, and, blushing at her own enthusiasm, returned quiotly to hia side.
' I cannot help rejoicing greatly,' she con¬ tinued, half apologically, * at what you have told me. To think my little Mattie's steps bave come out into the sunlight again V
' She is really engaged lo your friend, you say, Charley, and will be the wife of a mil¬ lionaire, and what ia much more, of a good, true, honest man.'
' If you know, aa I do, bow many have looked down in coldness and scorn upon her, how many pages of her life have been dark¬ ened and wetted together witb very bitter tears, you would be glad as I am, at the good fortune that has come to ber at last.'
' Well, Gracie,' answered the young man, with a little emphasis of natural iudignatiou running through his tones, 'she can triumph now over all who have treated her unkindly, for 1 know him well, and in wealth that tbe world honors, in high social position, iu in¬ tegrity of life, in nobleness of heart and mind Weston Hunt ia a man among a million.'
'But Mattie is above any of that 'Iriumphi of which yon speak, Charley. Suffering baa only refined her character, and she will go up very meekly, with her own quiet grace, to the new place assigned her, remembering ' it is God who pulleth down one and settetb up another.'
Wben tbe green feet of the May came over the mountaios of Meadowbrook, there were two bridals in the gray stone church on the green.
For their old love's sake it was that Grace Hammond and Mattie Palmer were married together.

'So you prefer school teaching to sleigh riding, do yon, Grace ? Yon know I always thought you somethiBg of a blue, but I nev¬ er supposed you would carry the matter to such lengths.'
It was the morning of the day after the sleighing party, and Grace was leaning over, the rare exotics which occupied the deep re¬ cess by the sitting-room window; now peer¬ ing into the rich heart of a half-opened rose, or cautiously lifting the delicate bells ot the clematis-blooms, sprinkled like snow flakes among the dark leaves. She lifted her face from the flowers, among wbioh it was half concealed.
•Why, cousin Charley, good morning! Who told you I had boen teaching I'
'Ho matter now. You needn't blush so preltUy about it, though you were a very naughty girl for not telUng me the truth, and letting me go off offended with you.' And he laid his hand on her shoulder, 'and looked fondly down on the drooping face, whioh sur. prise aud embarrassment was inoamading with blushes.
'Of course, I couldn't tall yon my motives for declining yoox invitation, cousin Charley,' she said, unconsciously pulling off the gera¬ nium leaves, and scattering them on tbe car¬ pet. " It wonld have looked too mnch like sounding a trumpet in. my own praise.'
' You're a proud little girl, aren't you, Gra¬ oie f But I don't like you any the less for it.' He smoothed, caressingly, the plaits of hair over the fair forehead.

A Woman married to a Woman—In. teresting Davelopments.
A gay young lady who bas lately been cut¬ ting around in male attire among tbe belles in Syracuse, N. Y., has been arrested on the charge of palming herself off aa a man, having been married a short lime since lo a yonng la¬ dy named Lewis I The Standard of Tuesday says:
* Yesterday forenoon the female dressed in male attire, whose vagaries were briefly a'lu-, dod to io yesterdoy's Standard, was brought before Justice Dnmford for examination. The circumstances attendiug this case, althongh still somewhat involved in mystery, are, as far as koown, exceedingly singular. There is now no doubt but the person is a woman, and al¬ thongh she is still attired in men's apparel, we will speak of her as one of the female sex.
' In answer lo the questions of the jastioe yesterday morning, she said hor name was Al¬ bert Gaelph, that she is English by birth, had been in this conntry about two years; lived in Lodi about six months; part of tbe time nith a colored woman named Dinah Jackson, and part of the time in the family of Mr. Lewis; she has no occupation; receives remittances from Ecgland, and the bolanoo of her support is furnished by a sister, who resides in this city. In reply to the question, 'are you a male or a famalo !' she answered, ' your officers con tell yen,' or * have told you.' She refused lo give aoy more direct answer to the inquiry in relation to her sex, and was committed for further examinalibn.
'From varioua persons we leorn tbat this woman ia well known in town in the character of a female, and she has probably assumed the disgniae ot a man within a few weeks. She is said to be on Eng'ish woman, and to have a son, a blind boy, who lives with her sister, a very respectable woman named Mrs. Edgar, residing in the southern part of this city.
< A few weeks since she assumed the garb of a man and made the acquaintance of a young lady named Miss Lewis. After a brief court' ship, they were married by Rev. Mr. Gregory of the Episcopal church, and the parties have since resided together as husband and wife. The marriage ceremony was performed about tbree weeks since, and the bride's father sus¬ pecting there was something wrong aboot his new son-in-law, obtained a private interview and informed her of his snspioioas that she was nol what she pretended to be. At first she claimed that she was a man, but on closer qncstioning finally admitted that she was a fe¬ male. A partial examination was made at this time by the father-in-law and officer Barnes, which satisfied the officer that tho person waa a woman disguised, and he immediately arrest¬ ed her and placed her in the watch house, where she has remained since Saturbay last.
' We have not learned the proper name of this singular woman. She is about thirty years of age, with marked features, prominent nose, high cheek bones, black hair, worn long (for a man) and curling at the end, and apparently brushed and oUed wilh care. She wears a glazed cap, blue coat, blue shirt, dark vest, buff colored pants and gaiter boots, and a I shawl over her shoulders; speaks with consid¬ erable confidence, but is not very communica- tive.

CHASED'BYAIBEAK-
The following extract from 'The Hunters Feast' forms tbe conclusion of a narrative by the ¦ hunter naturalist' about a ' Deer Hunt in « ' Dng-Out' He and ' Dick were after venison in tbeir canoe by torch light:—
' We had scarcely passed this point, when my attention was attracted by a pair of firery orbs that glistened out of some low bushes upon the left bank of tho river. I saw that they were the eyes of soma animal, but what kind of animal I could not guess. I knew they were nol the eyes of a deer. Their pecu¬ liar scintillation, their lesser size, the wide space between them—all convinced me they were not deer's eyes. Moreover, they moved al times, aa if tho head of tho animal was carried about in irregular circles. This is never the case with the eyes of the deer, which either pass hurriedly from point to point or remain with a fixed and steadfast gaze.
Iknew, therefore,it was no deer; but no matter what; it was somo wild creature, and all such are a''ke the game of the prairie- bmler.
I took aim, snd pulled the trigger. While doing so I heard the voice of my companion warning ^ne, as I thought, not to fire. I wondered at this admonition, but it was then too late to heed it, for it had been uttered al¬ most simultaneously wilh. the report of my rifie.
I first looked to the bank, to witness the effect of ray shot. To my great surprise, the eyes were still there, gleaming from the bushes as brightly as ever.
Had I missed my aim ? It is true, the voice of my companion had somewhat disconcerted me; bnt I still believed thai my bullet must have sped truly, as il had been delivered with a good aim.
As I turned to Dick for an explanation, a new sound fell upon my ear that explained all at the same time, causing me no slight feeling ;0f alarm. It was a sound not unlike that sometimes uttered by terrified swine, but louder and more threatening. I knew it wall —I knew it was the snort of the grizzly bear!
Of all American animals, the grizzly bear is the moat to be dreaded. Armed or unarmed, man is no match for him, end even the courage¬ ous hunter of theae parts shuos the encounter. Thia was why my companion had admonished me not to fire. I thought I had missed it: il was not 80. My bullet had hit and .etuog the fierce brute to madness; end a quick cracking among the buahes was immediately followed by a heavy plunge: the bear was in the water I
' Good heaven, he's after us I' cried Dick in accents of alarm, at tbe samo time propelling the dug-ont with all his might.
It proved true enough that Ihe bear was after us, and the very first plunge had brought hiu nose almost up to the aide of the canoe. However, a few well-directed strokes of the paddle set us in quick motion, and we were soon gliding rapidly down stream, followed by. the enraged animal, that every now and then uttered one of bis fierce snorts.
'What rendered our situation a terrible one was, that we could not now see the hear, nor tell bow far he might be from us. .411 to tbe rear of the canoe was of a pitchy darkness, in consequence of the screen of birch-bark. No object could be distinguished in that direction, and it was only by bearing him that we could tell he was still some yards off. The snorts, however, were more or less disUnct, as hoard amid\fae varying roar of tbe waterfall; and sometimes they seemed as if the snout from which Ihey proceeded waa cloae up lo our stem. We knew that if he once laid his paw upon the canoa, we should either be sunk or com- polled to leap out and swim for it. We knew, moreover, tbaf such an event would be certain death to one of us at least.
I need hardly affirm that my companicu uaed hia paddle with all the energy cf despair. I aasisled him ns much aa waa in my power with the butt-end ef my gun, which wns now empty. On account of the hurry and darkness, I had nol attempted to reload it.
We had shot down stream for a hundred yards or so, and were about oongralulating ourselves on the prospect of an escape from the bear, when a new object of dread presented itself to onr terrfiied imaginations. This ob¬ ject was the sound of falling water; but not as before, coming from some tributary stream. No. It was a fall of the river upon whioh we were floating, and evidently a very short dis¬ tance below US!
We were, in fact, within less than one hun¬ dred yards of il. Onr sxcitement, in conse¬ quence of being pursued by the bear, aa well as tbe fact that the songh of the cascade above still filled our ears, had prevented ns from per- oeivlng this new danger until we had ap-- proached it.
A shout of terror and warning from my Qompanion seemed the echo of one I had my¬ self uttered Both of ns understood tho peril of our situation, and both, without speaking another word, set about attempting to slop tbe boat.
We paddled with oil onr strength—he with the oar, while I used the flat butt of my rifle. We had succeeded in bringing her lo a sort of equilibrium, aud were in hopes of being able to foroe her toward the bank, whon all at once we heard a heavy object strike against lh« stem. At tho same moment, the bow rose up into the air, and a number oC the burning pine knots fell back into the bottom of the canoe. They still continued lo blaze: and their light now falling towards the stern, showed us a fearful object. Tho bear had seized hold of the dug-cut, and his fierce head and long carving claws were visible over the edge!
Although the little craft danced about upon the water, and was likely lo be turned keej upward, tho animal showed no intention of re¬ laxing its hold ; but, on'the contrary seemed every moment mounting higher in the canoe. Our peril was now extreme. We knew it, aud the knowledge half paralyzed us.
Both of us started up, and for some moments half sat, halfrcrouobtd, uncertain bow to act. Should we use the paddles, and get the canoe ashore, it would only be to throw ourselves in¬ to ths jaws of the bear. Oo the other hand, wooouldnotramain as wewarej forin a few seconds we shonld be drifted over the falls; and how high these were wo knew not. We had never heard of them : they might be fifty —they might be a hundred! High enough they were, no doubt, to precipitate us into eter¬ nity.
The prospect waa appalling, andoiir thoughts ran rapidly. Quick aotion was.required. I oould think of no other tban to leansteraward, and strike at the bear with ay olnbbsd rifle, at tbe same calling npon my oompanion to pad¬ dle for the shore. We preferred, under all circumstances, risking the ohanoes of a land mcounter witb out griiily antagonist
I had succeeded in keeping the bear out of the oanoe by several well-planted blows -apon-j the snout' and Dick was equally successfnl in forcing the dug-out nearer to tha bank, when a sharp crack reached my ears, followed by a terrified oty from my companion. I glanotd iaddttdy uoond, to MOtitaiD tb«
too late.
We botb saw this; and each knew the fcel- iogs of tbe other, for we felt alike. Neither spoke ; but, crouching down and holding the gunwales of the canoe, we waited the owfu^ moment.
The bear seemed lo have some apprehen¬ sion as well aa ourselves; for, instead of con- tiouing his endeavors to climb into the canoe, he contended himself with holding fast to tbe stern, evidently under some alarm.
The torch still blazed, and the canoe was catching fire: perhaps this it was that alarmed the bear.
The lost circumstance gave us at the mo¬ ment little concern; the greater danger e- clipsed the less. We had hardly noticed it, when we felt we were going over,
The canoe shot outward as if propelled by projectile force ; then came o loud crash, as though we had dropped upon a hard rock.— Water, and spray, and froth were dashed over our bodies ; and the next moment, to our sur¬ prise as well as delight, wo felt ourselves stil' olive and seated iu the canoe, which was float¬ ing gently in still smooth water.
Il was quite dark, for the torch had been extinguished; but even in the darkness, we could perceive the bear swimming and flound¬ ering near the boat. To our great satisfac¬ tion, we BOW him heading for the shore, and widening the distance between himself and us wilh all the haste he could moke. The un¬ expected procipitotion over tho falls hod cool¬ ed his courage, if not his hostility.
Dick and I headed the oonoe, now half full of water, for the opposite bank, wbioh we con¬ trived to reach by nsing the rifie and onr hands for paddles. Here wo mada the little vessel fast lo a tree, intending lo leave il there, as we could not by auy possibility get it back over the fall. Having hung our gome out of reach of the wolves, no turned our faces up stream and, after a long and wearisome walk, succeeded in getting back to the post.
Next morning, a party went down for the venison, with the intention also of carrying the canoe back over the fall. The craft, however, waa found to be so much injured, that it wonld not hang together during tbe portage, and was therefore obondoned. This was no pleasant matter to me, for it after¬ wards cost mo a considerable sum before I could square with the old Flathead for his worthless dug-out.'
THE LITTLE GIRL THAT DIED
Looking out some torn and coverieas books some time since, for the pnrpose of having tbem re-bonnd, I picked up an old school-book, on which was written ' Mary Wilson." I look- ep through it, and found lessons marked upon every leaf, and still the book was clean—no Thumb raiirks or dog-ears. My little favorite was beside me, and 1 inquired of her who Mary Wilson was ?
' Why, that's the little girt that died !' said Eliza.
'Well, my dear, who is ' tho little girl that died »¦'
' Oh, I forgot thai you were not here then. She was a aweet little girl whom everybody loved; a great many little girls bavo died since, yet our girls all knoN who you mean when you say ' tbe little girl" that died,' al¬ though very few of them would know if you ahoold call her Mary Wilson.'
' Well, Eliza, tell me all ab ut this sweet little creature, for 1 know slie must have been a good girl; she seems lo have learned her les¬ sons well, and, see, the hook is scorcely soiled.' ' Indeed she was good, and pretty, too; bnt we called her 'the sweet little girl,'not becanso of her pretty face and figure, but because ebe was 80 good—everything she said, and every¬ thing she did was right; and ahe had such a dear tender little heart, and such lovely cycs_ and such an innocent countenance, and such o sweet little mouth, and was always so clean; oh, dear me, I could not tell you half how good and how pretty Bhe was!
' Sometimes, when the girls would be eating their dinners, Mary would begin to play, and the girls would watch her : if we did not see her take ber dinner from her basket, one of ns would look io and find she had none, for two or three limes a week she wonld give her din¬ ner to some poor person she would meet coming to school- Wo would then make up some din Dsr for her, and, if she wouldn't eat it, We would pretend to be angry, and then she would sit down and eat it to please us- When we were ploying, if any of us thould hurt out- BOlvcs, you would be surprised to see bar.— She acted just like a mother to her little baby when it gets hurt- She seemed as if she felt all the pain herself, and ecmotimes the tears would come into her eyes, and glisten ond dance, and her little mouth would quiver, and then we would ali begin to cry, and want lo hug her—she was such a sweet little thing.'
Here Eliza began to cry, and Charles felt very much like it; but he merely glanced at the blue sky, lo give the tears a chance lo hide themselves, and said—
' Where did Mary como from ? Is her fother or mother living 1 Had she any brothers or sisters ? aud where are they now 7
'Her mother was living when she coma to school here, but her father wos dead. She had no brothers or sisters. She used to go to the Sisters* school (we uaed to oall her the lit¬ tle Sister, too), but it was ao for away ofle' ber mother moved over here, that she was ta¬ ken owoy and sent to our school. Her moth¬ er was poor, but she always had Mary dressed neat and clean; and she used to read so pret¬ tily that onr teacher often gave her a prayer to read aloud in school; and you wonld think (here Elija spoke iu a subdued tone, as though to odd solemnity lo what she was about to say), when she was reading the prayer of St. Bernard, that the Blessed 'Virgin waa standing right before her, and that she was talking to her, the other prayers ahe read in the same way, and some of the girls, and even the teach¬ er, somatimea cried while ahe was reading.
' Al last poor Mary took sick, and nearly all the girls used lo go lo see her every day, nntil tbe teacher found us out, and then she told ns that we caused her mother a great deal of trouble, nnd forbid us going again. But she would send the best girls to see her—one at dinner time and one in tbe aflenoon; and, oh! didn't we used to be good then, to try to get to see little Mary! At lost she died.'— (Here Eliza's tears and sobs prevented her proceeding for some minutes, during whioh time I was occupied in putting books ont of their proper places, and^putltng them bock again.) ' She died one night, and the next day we were all permitted lo go ond see her. Oh! she looked like on angel—she wos so pret¬ ty, and was smiling the same as she always was when alive. And how the girla did cry! At laat the teacher told us she would send ns home if we did not be quiet, and said it was a tin for us to act in the manner we did; and then we dried up our tears.
' The morning again, all the girla were dres- sed in white to attend the funeral; Mary was bronght to the church, and a Mass was said for her, ond the priest spoke so beautifully about her, and advised us all lo follow her ex¬ ample. We have had many good girls since, but none like 'the little g'lrl Uiat died.'
A deep sigh from Eliza, and the click of the book-case look, brought thenarrative to a close, and it was not until I had nearly reached home that I bethought myself of the butUieis wbioh I fa»d segleoteii.
CHaSHniO DOCTOBS.
It is BingolaTi bnt none the lesa true, that popular opimoQ haa in every age eetabliBhed a BtroDg affinity hetween the art of magio and that of bealisg. Among all igooraDt and illite¬ rate races, the medioine man and the conjuror are one and the same person, and history tells us that down to a comparatively late period, there Tras scarcely a recipe or a prescription known even to the regular faculties of Europe whioh was not tinctured with some traoe of ocoult nonsense.
Of late years medicine has been reduced to one of the mo8t accurate and practical of sciences. Disease, if not as yet mastered, is no longer the terrible mystery it once was, and about the last idea which would ever oc¬ cur to a regular doctor of the Bchools at the present day, would be to attribute each malady to the presence of a peculiar-and presiding de¬ mon, or to suppose that a figure drawn at a certain conjuncture of the planets, when laid upon a broken limb, would aid in setting and healing it. But though the Universities have long Bince bundled all this superstitious traah out of doora, it has not been lost, nor did it fall to the ground. There were iu the outer darkness, legions of blind and illiterate out¬ siders who gathered it up like a treasure, and who cherish it still like a sacred thing. In Philadelphia, which boasts, and with justice, of containing by far the best medical schools in the country, and where common sense and Boienoe at least are believed to be peouliarly at home, there are thousands on thousand of men and women who, when ailing, seek their cure in the moat rtdioulonely superstitious treatment, and ace of course extensively fleec ed by quacks, who lay claim to supernatural, or at least altogether out of the way accom- pliabmeuts.
It ia really aickening aud humiliating to re¬ flect that there are around us many nho would be indignant if they were called fools, yet who in their heart believe tbat some blundering old 'charming' Datohman, or some miserable old crone of a negreaa is endowed with gifts deni¬ ed to physicians who bave penetrated the deep est secrets of nature as yet written in tbe book of science. Yet there are Buch, and peo¬ ple who have been to school nt that, who be¬ lieve that toothache andwartacanbe whispered away, and who would rather give a so called ' astrologist* a double fee for a nonseusical preacription, than bestow on a regular doctor regular payment for sensible advice.
Equally absurd, though not aa superstitious, is the belief that the Indiana were or are pos- seaaed of a vast amount of medical knowledge, which hf some singular chance haa never been as yet revealed to any regular member of the faculty, though it is sometimes professed in all ita plenitude by some illiterate stroller, whose abilities are of course greatly enhanced if he claims to be the seventh son of a seventh aon. Beyond question the Indians had their simple remedies, but they also had, like all wild tribes, many which were useless or positively injuri¬ ous. There was never an ' Indian doctor' as yet. who oould not learn an immense number of facts relative to the healing qualities of the herbs in hia own forests from any ordinary botanist and chemist, and those who at the pre¬ sent day put faith in tbem would do much bet¬ ter to believe in a druggist of established rep¬ utation. Half of tbe Indian medical 'science' conaisting of howling and powowiog, and it is not very likely that they would have attached much importance to such nonsense, bad they bad such wonderful panaceas in tha herb line as has been claimed for thera.
It would weary the reader should we go through the array of people who, in this city, accumulate fortunes by pretendisgto cure dis¬ eases, by the most absurd and sometimes re- voltiug superstitious practices, while regular i phyaicians—it may be men of real ability— I are starving within a few doors, for want of patients. Tet the fools are never wanting wbo believe tbHt there's 'something very strange at least, in Mra. This, or Mr. That, * who tells juat what's the matter with you only by look¬ ing.* Yes, good people, the clairvoyant or tbe astrologist looks in your face, and reads ' fool' in your simple eyes, or in your clown- ieh-sbrewd face, and he knows right well whet is the matter with your brain, at leaat, if not with your disease, and he tickles your silly love of the marvelous, and gets your money, and it nature should chance to cure you, he gets the credit, too, of knowing more than any of the ¦ regular doctors.'
It iu singular that these miserable quacks, whether Indian or negro doctors' clairvoyants, or conjurors of any description, who trifle with health, and lay claim to possess from * nature,' what even a scientific man can hard¬ ly hope to acquire, cannot be arrested and punished as they deserve, for trifling with human life. Their number is far greater than readers would probably suppose, and as a vast proportion of them lend themselves, not only to fortune telling, but to aiding and advancing vice in its most direct forms, it may be conjectured how much the city gains by suffering tbem to carry on their 'pro fesaions.'
moral of all which is that the man who is prone to regard himaelf as a pauper, merely because he cannot show his wealth in money down, is a gooae, and that in a country where perfect freedom is given to all who are willing to labor, health and education are better than any fortune whatever.

HouEl SwBiT HoMBl—That wide, open, friendly fireplace, with ils lively cracking mirth, or its sweet twilight embers, always appears to me the meek emblem of a contented, great heart, answering back to your own joy, and lighting up your shadows. And some¬ times, surrounded by strangers, the object of dull remark, or cold criticism, or ignorant con* demnalion, who have I pictured to myself a world of warmth like unto tha great fireplace at home, where every man shonld be greeted with, ' Welcome 1 welcome, brother 1' and a comfortable, snug corner of his own; and where all answer lo each other with the sym¬ pathy and cheer of shining faces over the glowing hearth. Look kindly on the stranger, gentle friend, thy looks are either so many sweet sunny beams, that betoken the common fellowship of trae humanity, or so many icy rays that chill bim to the heart—that freeze little by little the founlams of love—that fill him with distrust of Ihe world and haired of his species. No man knows for how much of other's wickedness aud wretchedness he may be held accountable. A look of thine may breed sorrow in thy brother, though a stranger. A look of thine may do a good deed, may shine from thy face to his face, and be reflected, like a ray of the sun, over half the globe.
Live ye gentle scenes of home! Light op, ye bright fire of the domestic hearth 1 Olow, ye pleasant fancies of the wood fire! Smile ever, ye dimpled portraita on the wall cf child¬ hood! Come in, ye sweet lilao breezes that rustle through the oozy curtains, the blos¬ soms of youth and the airy old cobwebs of memory are shimmering in your light I Place may change, friends ooxne and go, hearts grow cold or wear away beneath the drops of care till tbey crumble and mould beneath the elod of the vuUey; but pleasant home, whore child¬ hood lived aud loved, never dies. The memory thereof is a fortune, an indestructible faculty for self-renewing joy.
What is heaven itself but the reward of the fresh hearts and delightful pleasure of child¬ hood's home ? A happy child looks forwarij to a happy home above. The hireling, initialed but too early in guilt aad misery, or in misery without guilt, he seldom hopes for better ac¬ commodation st the journey's end; and the shadows of hia childhood descends before him lo tbe grave.

Discipline op BtrBznxss.—The life of a man of buBiDesfl gives his character a pretty hard trial. Not only does it exercise his eagaoity and prndenoe, bat it potR bis integrity to the Bflverest teut. He if Burroanded by the bcI- fiahness of trade; he Bees men profit by cun- niog and fraud, and he is tempted to try big skill in artifice and deception. Every day hie honesty ia tried in some way. Ho ia thrown back upou Lid inward prinoiple, and if bis heart ia hollow and dooeitful, ho wilt be sure to Bhow it. And that man has reason to thank Qod who has gone tbxoagh a long courae o^ bnaiuoaa, throngh times of wild speculation and geueral bankruptcy, and goes down to the grave with the never shaken consoiousDess of being an honest muu. He wbo can ace others making money by falae repreaentationa, and never stoop to thoae tiicks of trade, iu fitticg his own pure mind for a world tbat is more worthy of him.
And yet a man cannot wholly eEciipe tbese tempfations. To do that bo muai need go out of the world, or retire into eolitude. He might indeed avoid all danger by shutting himself up within the walls of a convent, to pass a life 0^ outward sanctity and lazy contemplation. But tbe piety tbat is nursed in cloisters is of a siokly growth, compared witb that which maintains integrity amid strong inducemeots to evil. It is not the will of God that we should retire apart Mo keep from contamina¬ tion. Not in deserts, but in cities ; not in the hermit's cell, but among men, sharing the common lot, meeting temptation as it comes, are we to form our character for eternity.
Men ought to rejoice in rigid discipline.— Whenever assailed by temptation an opportoni- ty is given to conquer themselves, and so to become nobis beings. The most heroic vir¬ tues of the human character are brought out in this struggle with inborn SBlfiahneaa, and with tbo cowardly ezomple of the world. Men of brave hearts ought to welcome the conflicts and buffetioga of life. Every victory they gain will make them stronger, as tbe tempest which rocks and tears the mountain oak causes it to strike its roots down deeper in the earth, aad to lift higher ita msjestio arms toward heaven.

How Much Are You Worth?
Wo have obsenod of lato in Iha Charleston Courier nnd other Southern papers a atate- I ment to tho effect that a slaye, a carpenter by ' trade, was lately sold in Adams county. Miss, for three thousand, seven hundred dollars.— Tbis was, beyond question, a somewhat unusu¬ al caso, yet still, if we, in addition to the an¬ nual interest of the money, add tho expense of maintaining tho slare, we shall not find that it amounts to more, or, indeed, to as much as is earned by many able journeymen carpenters in most parts of tbe country.
Tho deduction which wo wonld draw from this is merely a passing application of Henry Carey's great principle tbat labor is the defini¬ tion and standard of wealth. How often do we bear men in good health aud witb the knowledge of a trade complaining that tbey are worth nothing, when in reality they ure just as muoh possessed of a email fortune as though they had it In bank ? A carpenter or any other men is always worth in himself and to himself as much money as bis annual earning would bo the interest of.
Worth nothing I Why tbe man who in a country like this cau oimply read and write and either bas a fortune wbioh can be rendered available by his abilities, while tbe political freedom to exercise tbese abilities at will is, in a certain sense, a capital equivalent to money down, and which only requires a proper appre¬ ciation to he regarded as such. Iu many parts of Europe, before a man oan work or be permitted to earn an honest living in any sort of way, ho must pass years under a certain discipline, load a peculiar life, conform to cer¬ tain peculiar onsloms, belong to a certain Ohorob, and, finally, pay down a very unfair sum of money in oue or another form. The Tery exemption from all enoh taxes, whether personal or pecuniary, is worth something, and tbere is many a wealthy man abroad wbo would pay his thousands of dollars to bo freed from them.
Worth nothing! Are you temperate, frugal, cheerful, persevering and industrious ? Look around in society at those men who have be¬ come rich by tbo possession of snob capital; reckon against them those who have failed, and strike tbe balance. Something will re¬ main in your favor, and that not a trifle either. In fact, when we reflect on the vast proportion* of wealthy men In America, who have risen to Independence solely by their own exertions, it would seem as if it were almoat an absurdity and contradiction to say that any healthy man Is not well off or even wealthy—though his wealth may not always bo directly available. But tbere Is many a gentleman regarded as a millionaire who le precisely In tbo same condi¬ tion.

The MAYoa'fl Complaint Book.—It ie the cufllom of some of the Mayors of the uorth to keep complaint books, in which tlio people mrty enter complatota of naieances they want abat¬ ed. Apropos of one of these, The Spirit of the Times gives the following omnsing story :
(Scene, Mayor's Office, 10 o'clock A. M.— Enter a bilioas-lookiog man, dressed in a seedy ooat and black whiskers.)
Sa?bon Gent.—Is the Mayor in ?
Mator W.—res. Sir.
Gent.—Are you the Mayor ?
Mayor (looking dignified)—Sir, I havo that honor.
Bilious Citizen—Have you a book in which people can leave their complaints ?
Attentive Dignity—Yes, Sir; and at once proceeded to open a volume large enough for a country umbrella. Tho Mayor having seized & pen and dipped it in the ink, proceeded as follows: Will you put your complaiut in tbo book, or do you wish me to do so ?
Gabiboqg Subscrider—Well, as I am n little in a hurry you can put it in tho book.
Interested Functionary—What ia the com* plaint?
Sallow Individual—It is tho liver complaint It is sufficient to aay that tho ponderous vull ume was shut in a jiffy. The pen dropped, and when wc caught a glimpse of Ilia Honor at Hank's, a few momenta after, he ' confeBsed the corn,* and put on hii* customary ' smile.'
