MY MERRY LITTLE WIPE.
I canTiot remember the time wheu I was not in love with Kitty Pleasauton. It muat hare begun when wh were both babies. I am sure I ioved her ad we sat togethar hy the road-side .soaking onr dandelion stems in the little paddles of water to make them curl. Sty passion was in nowise abated, when somewhat later, I climbed cbwrry-trees at her bidding; nor, later yet, when at dancing- school I awkwardly made my new-learnt bow, and asked her to be my partner; nor, I am sure, was my boyish passion at all damped, when, on my retnrn from college, I found my sweet little Kitty changed, by some nndefin- able Alteration, from a lovely child to a bo- witcuing young woman. She waa almost the samo as when I parted from her three years before—the woman was like the child—there were the same rosy cheeks, the same pout¬ ing, innocent moulh, the same curling hair, but some charm, grace, or sentiment waa added, which made my heart thrill with new emotion as 1 gazed at her,
"Kitty," said I to her, one day, after I had heen at home a week or two, and I found I could restrain myself no longer, " Kitty, I'm very mnch in love with yon, as yon knowas well aa I do. I've always been in love with you, and I fancy you are in love with me ; bnt now I want you to promise to marry me." I paused, but Kitty made no answer, and I aaid, ''Yoa like me, Kitty, don't you ?"
" First tell me," said Kitty, blushing, and fin odd mixture of delight ind bashfulness in her face, *' if you'e made me what is called sn offijr?"
" To be sure I have, my darling," I replied; "an offer which I trust and hope yon'll ac¬ cept." " Don't be too snre of that," said Kitty. " Kitty, you love me ?" I exflaimed. "That's my secret," replied the provoking little thing,    "But at any rate," she con¬ tinued, " I could not possibly think of ac copting the very first offer I ever received— I should be mortified all the rest of my life if I did.    No, indeed; no girl of spirit would dream of accepting her first offer, as if she were afraid she shoald never-have another. Excuse me, James, I can't possibly acoept you till I've had at least one other offer." " But, my derrest iiity," I began. "Kitty I   Kitty!  Kitty 1" she exclaimed^ " will Mr. Brant leam to call me by my proper name ?   I confess I did hope that on re celv¬ ing my 'first oHer,'  the person making it would address me with proper courtesy, and in a manner befitting the occasion, giving me my name of Catharine; but now yoa've gone and spoiled it atl.t'
" Oh, I suppose you wanted a stiff, cere¬ monious proposal in form," I observed; " but I'm no Sir Charles Grandi^on, Kitty—Cathe¬ rine, I would say ; therefore, don't be fool¬ ish ; be content to know, in plain words, that jny whole heart is yours; and hare the good sense to accept^your first offer, since your second may not be so good."
Bat in vain were my arguments and. rea¬ soning. Kitty was determined not to accept her first offer, and finding her resolute I changed my tone, and acquiescing in her views, confessed that, after all, I too had a certain pride on that point, and shoald be rather mortified to know that my wife had never had any offer bat that I had myself made her; and so I promised to suspend my suit till Kitty should be so fortunate as to receive an offer from some other quarter.
Kow, not far from where Kitty dwelt, there was a favorite dell, or bower, or something of tbat kind, to which she daily repaired with some chosen volume to sit and read. All my endeavors to peraaade her to allow me to accompany her thither had always been qnite in vain. Kitty was firm in preferring her undisturbed solitude, and I was daily doomed to an hour or two of the mopes duriog her woodland visit.
In pursuance with this custom Kitty set out soon after the conversation I have sketched, declining, as usual, my offer of companion¬ ship.
Kot more than half an hour had elapsed after she had reached her favorite seat, ere her attention waa attracted by a young geu¬ tleman who was fishing in the brook which flowed near her. Kitty drew back a little on seeing him, but her onriona eyes occasionally wandered towards the stranger. The latter no sooner perceived his fair ohaerver than he bowed with an air of great politeness, and advancing r few steps, ventured to address her a few words of oommonplace greeting. The young man's words were iudeed com¬ monplace, but his eyes were far more elo¬ quent than his tongue—tbey plainly informed the fair Kitty that she had fonnd a new ad¬ mirer. Kitty, highly flattered, received the stranger's advances graciously, and the youth being by no means bashful, half an honr found them chatting easily and gayly on va¬ rious topics of interest. Kitty's stay in the woods was something longer than usual lhat afternoon.
" What is the matter, Kitty ?" I asked, on meeting her soon after her return home, •' Yonr eyes sparkle, and yon look aa pleased OS though you had met a fairy in your after¬ noon ramble."
"It is better than a fairy," cried Kitty, breathlessly, " it's a young man." "Indeed I" I ejaculated, wilh a whistle. *' Yes, James," she replied, « and he is so handsome—so agreeable—so deh'ghtfol, thst I can't Bsy how things might go if he were to nuika zne, aozoe of those days, nzy second offer."
**Yoaotak*t Imposft on me In that kind of vigr^ fiTMt tiiiyi lo don't AtUmpt it," I u-
olahned. "I'U he bound the impudent fel¬ low, whom I won't objeot to spei&ing a bit of my mind to, ia not handsomer or more agreeable than I am myself."
Kitty laughed aloud in derision. " He's a thouBftod times handsomer than yoa are," she cried, scornfally, "and as muoh more entertaining as he ia more handsome."
"Come, Kitty, don't be too cutting, too cruel," X began; but Kitty drew herself up with dignity.
"They cat! me Catherine, who do speak to me, sir," she said.
" Catherine, fiddlestioksl" I cried. "Kitty is the prettiest and sweetest name in the world, and comes most natnral to me—don't bother me with your Catharines."
" I dare say you may like it," aaid Kitty, pouting, half angrily, " but I don't It's too free. How would yon like it if I persisted in calling yon Jim ? I declare I'U oall you Jim, if you go on calling me Kitty."
" Do so if you like," I replied, " and it will soon sound to me like tho sweetest name in the world." But may I presume to beg from my fair and gracious Lady Catharine a description of this wood-Adonis, she has bean encountering ?"
" He's tall," began Kitty.
*¦ Taller than I!" I interrupted. Kitty al¬ moat annihilated me by a look.
" By at least half a foot—and of an ele¬ gant figure," ahe continued, with marked emphasis. " He was dressed in a fishing costume, which greatly beoame him."
" I have an old fishing blouse, up stairs, I muttered, sotto voce ; " I think I'll get it out."
" The young man's manners were uncom¬ monly eaay aud gentlemanly, aud withal per¬ fectly respectful and deferential," continued Kitty. " Having ascertained my name, he never once forgot himself, so far as to abbre¬ viate it—his conduct contrasting favorably in that respect with some of my frienda."
"Well, Kitly," said I, "what other perfec¬ tions have your hero ? or have you exhaust¬ ed your list ?"
"Far from it," aaid Kitty, iiidignantly — " He wears his hair parted down in the mid¬ dle like a poet, or that charming Signor Poz- zolini in th^ part of the Edgardo "
"Or a Methodist parson," I observed,
" And besides all that," continaed Kitty, " he has a moustache."
".A last best gift," said I; "but, Kitty, that perfection, " I hope, will not be very difficult of achievement. I'll begin to-morrow. Let me see—tall—handsome—agreeable—good manners—elegant figure, and a moustache ! On the whole, Kitty, I think I'm YQxy much afraid of my new rival."
"Yoa have cause," Kitty replied, with grave dignity.
Tbe next day when Kitty reached her lit¬ tle retreat, she found the stranger again in its neighborhood. I must do the little co¬ quette the justice of confessing lhat she did look startled, and iudeed vexed, when she saw him; but perhaps thinking it too late to retreat, she advanced timidly. The youth met her with many apologies, and a plausi¬ ble pretense for hia intrusion, which she could not gainsay, while something flattering in his manner made her blushingly divine lhat the hope of again seeing her had been the true causej)f his re-appearauce. Be that as it might, the atranger, perhaps to give Kitty time lo recover her confidence, immediately sauntered off in pursait of his sport, and Kitty, fancying she had seen the last of her new admirer, drew forth her book, and set¬ ting herself in a mossy coruer, began to read. She, however, had soarcely succeeded ia fix¬ ing her attention on ^ts pages before the per¬ tinacious stranger re-appeared, and declaring that fishing was dull work, and tbe fiah wonld not bite, he composedly seated himself at Kitty's feet, and begged lo know the name of the book she was reading. " Tennyson's Princess," replied Kitty, curtly.
The imperturbable stranger declared the book a great favorite of his, and began to talk so entertainingly of books and authors, that Kitty, warmed by the subject, forgot to be digniffed, and an animated discourse o favorite authora ensued. Aftewards the young man begged permission to read her a few admirable passages from the book she held in her hand, aud it so happened that the passages he had selected were the very ones Kitty loved best: he read Ihem well too, and Kitty's bright eye sparkled with de¬ Ught as she listened. Taming at last to the exquisite concluding interview between Ida and the young prince, the stranger's voice became more and more earnest as he read, tiU coming to the worda—
"Yes, Kitty, you're.caught j" aaid I; "and- to punish yon for attempting just now to palm a wicked falsehood upon me, I shall impose a two-fold fine. First, yon shall kisa mia;. and then fix our wedding day, which mnst be very shortly, for I'm going to Paris in a thontfa:, and you must go with me."
.Kitty gave a Httle scream, and deolared that she oould not think of submitting to either of my penalties; bat in vain she strug¬ gled and protested-^I had her in my arms, and finding at last all her efforts, to release herself fruitless, her jests and laughter sud¬ denly changed to eameat tenderness, and dosing her arms round me, she said, "As you you fliUl, dear—dearest Jamie I"
" One month from to-day, then, my own, sweet, darUng Kitty," I began.
"Catharine!" whispered Kitty 1
" Catharine, then," I repeated, amUing at her pertinacity on this point, "one month from to-morrow, my Catharine."
"Yoa never put any adjectives before Ca¬ tharine," murmured Kitty, evasively, hiding her bluslng and poatiug face.
" My own dear, gracious, winninor, bewitch¬ ing, most kissable Cathariue," said I, " shall it be as I say ?"
"If mamma chooses," whiapered Kitty.— And so I persuaded the sweetest and pret¬ tiest girl in the coautry to accept her first and only lover; and though to this-day my merry little wife often complains that I defrauded her by my tricks of her natural womanly right of breaking two or tbree hearts at least ere she made one man supremely blest, StiU she generally conoludes her re- protches in a manner most flattering to my vanity, by declaring that she had two offers after all, and that each of them was worth a thonsand common ones.

A Nigbt on Lake Winnipisseogee.
Evening set in cold and gray.    UntU noon,
" Only Uat wlnier, poor ^Hcouy Bl»ooher;. was frozen to death on the ahorw of Battle- < gnake Island; and-then Just a. week after¬ wards, poor Cap'n Deer—been on the lakeaU his Ufetime—got bewUdered in the aqualla, aild died out there aU alone in the dark and cold, and his folks to home setlin' np to day¬ light expuotiu' him I Oh, it was awfnl— dreadful lo think ofl but nothin' to what it wonld be if a woman—a yonng, tender, beau¬ tirul. woman"—a tear wet the hardy face of the old mountaineer, and he tamed to dry it on hia coarae handkerchief.
.At this moment the brisk jingle of sleigh- bells was heard at the door, and before the eager listeners could spring forward to open upon the new comer. Will Argensen entered wrapped up in a buffalo robe.
" I am ready to attend you to Wolfhuro, if ¦, yon still think of going" he said, addressing j the lady.   She arose quiokly at the sound of j

he suddenly flung the book aside, exclaiming, " What words I what words I What would I not give for courage to alter them to the being I love best on earth I The stranger paased a moment, and then broke forth im- petaously. "This forced sUence ia all in vain; the words I would repress will come. In vain have I striven to be pradent—cau¬ tious—to aUow you timo—not to startle you —lovely, bewitching Misa Catharine—^you are yourself the object of my secret adora¬ tion, to whom I would say much if I dared;" aud thereupon the youth rather melodrama- ticaUy fell on one knee, and forthwith pro¬ ceeded to make Kitty a very plain offer of his hand.
Meanwhile Kitty had risen from her seat. and recovering from her astonishment, she drew herself up with dignity, and replied, " I hardly know, sir, what you mean hy your very strange words and conduot. The liber¬ ty you have taken has made me very sensi¬ ble of my own imprudence in having allowed the advances of a stranger so presuming— an error I shall be careful never to repeat." So saying, my proud little Kitty turned from the stranger with a diatant how, and walked directly home.
I did not see Kitty till some time after her return ; perhaps she was recovering her spir¬ ita in her own room, for when I met her she was as full of mischief as ever.
" Well, James, why don't you ask me about my adventures to-day ?" ahe inqui red.
" Because," I replied, "I din't suppose you would be so imprudent as to go again to-day wiiere you would be likely lo encounter the insolent puppy who presumed to add/ess you yesterday."
"I didn't iu the least expect him to be there," said Kitty, blushing, and somewhat confused, " bat he was there."
" Of course," I replied grufily. " Well, was your Adonis as handsome and agreeable as ever ?"
"More sol" cried Kitty, recovering her composure; ¦' he looked more Massaiello-Uke than ever in his fishing dress; and for en¬ tertainment, he firs* read me allthe finest part of Tennyson's Princess, and then made a marriage proposal, and I don't think any man could be expected to do more iu one af¬ temoon."
" I ahould think not, indeed," said I; •* pray what reply did you make to the rasoaU—that you had a friend at home who would be hap. py to kick him well for hia insolence ?"
'• Far from it," said Kitty; " what my re¬ ply was, is my secret—and his; but for you, nay poor James, I'm sorry for you—it's all over with- you, and your offer."
"Why, you good-for-nothin, little, deceit¬ ful pnaa I" cried I, losing all patience, "there never was a more arrant dissembler living. Behold how plaiu a tale shaU put you down! —for lo—^I myself, disguised merely by a lit' tie paint— a fishingblon&e,a false moustache'i and a change in the arrangement of my hair was in my own person this elegant, hand¬ some, agreeable stranger, whose praises you have Bo lavishly sounded f"

the sky had been clear; but, as the sun de¬ clined, a thick, leaden haze had obscured his sickly light, and appearance gave promise of the coldest night of an uunsually cold sea¬ son.   The up train on the C ^Railroad, was
detained by the immense drifts of snow, which had formed upon the lines ; and it was past nine o'clock when the puffing loco¬ motive came slowly and laboriously up to the little depot at A , the northern ter¬ minus of the ronte.
As is usual in counlry, as well as iu places more thickly settled, quite a little company had assembled in the principal room of the building, to talk over the severe weather, and discuss the prnbability of the non-arri¬ val of the train that night. With the first sound of the ominous whistle, the narrow door of the depot waa crowded with anxious heads, each striving to pierce farther into the darkness than its neighbor.
The usual variety of passengers alighted : each one anxious about his or her baggage, aud each one, particnlarly certain lhat it was just in the place where the freight-master protested it was not; but, aa it is with only one of this motley assemblage that we have to do, we will pass the others sUently by.
She ^as a young lady, onr heroine, and dressed with extreme elegance. Springing hastily to the platform, scarcely touching the extended hand of the gentlemanly conductor^ she gazed anxiously around her for a mo¬ ment, and then made her way to the win¬ dow of the office, which was pushed back, to allow the official within to receive the ex¬ press boxes, and separate the mails. The man started as her low musical tones fell on hia ear.
"Can you tell me the distance to Wolf-: burn F'*
" Twelve miles, marm; and no passage there for five days; roads completely block¬ ed I" and he was turning away.
She put out her hand to stay him. "No passage ?—it cannot be I I must be in Wolf- bum within four hours, sir ! My mother is dying there !"
" Sorry^—very sorry, indeed ! but it is an utter impossibility to think of doing such a thing! Why, marm, the thermometer stands at 10 degreea below zero, this very minute, and 'twill be atill lower before midnight 1"
" I know the cold is inteuae ; I dare say the way is replete with danger; but my mother, the mother who brought me into existence ' is dying there, and I must go to her 1" The voice of the young girl became choked and broken as she ceased.
" It's a' hard case, I muat admit; but it's no nse to think of attempting lo get to Wolf- burn to-night—the coach road is aa impas¬ sable as the Alps, and the only traok is across the lake ; but neither man nor beast conld live on that bleak route half the distance !— I am sorry, marm; but I only speak the truth ahout it."
The, pale face of the young lady blanched still paler, bat her voioe was firm.
" Cold and periions thongh it be, I must go to my mother. Were I sick, she would move heaven and earth, but she would stand hy my bedside t I cannot let her die, and I so very near her, and yet not in her presence I I must go, if I go on foot and alone I
"Baah'girll it would be no better than suicide to attempt the passage of the Win¬ nipisseogee on such a night as this, even with a strong horse and an experienced guide; and snch cannot be fonnd, who will brave the horrors of the night, for love or money!" " Lady, I will go with you 1" and the crowd parted before the tall, finely-built young mau who came hastily lo the aide of the strange girl. " I am unknown to you, and my atation in Ufe is humble ; but if you wiU trust me, the confidence shall nol be mis¬ placed I" He removed the cap from his head, and stood erect and dignified before her—a striking handsome youth clad in a rough garb of gray. There was the fire of a lofty spirit baroing in his deep, hazel eye, and aroand tbe classically carved lips dwelt an expression half stem, half lender. The clear blue eyes of the lady met his fixed yet res¬ pectful gaze, searchingly—she put her hand in his.
"God bless you, sir 1" There is one true heart in New Hampshire! I will trust yon T' An expression of pride and gratitudo swept over the young man's face, and he bent his head low before her as he said—" In half an hour I will retnrn for you," and with a firm^ elastic step, he left tbe depot.
The yonng lady dropped into a seat by the fire, and, covering her face with her handsi seemed lost in painfnl reverie. The listless " hangers-on" about the place gathered to¬ gether in a little knot abont the office win¬ dow there was a new snbject to discuss,
" Fool enongh is Will Argensen to under¬ take the crossing of the Lake to night! He'll he frozen stiff, in my opinion, after the day breaks I" exclaimed an old man, evidently the oracle of the company.
" And the gal!—it's a shame, though, for she's a aweet lookin* critter! Heaven pity her, and take care of her I for she'U need somebody's care before the night's through!'' " She's in good hands, though," saida third member of the coterie, withdrawing hia pipe from his moulh as he spoke, " for Will's aa noble a lad as ever breathed the air of Hamp¬ shire! He knows every inch of the Winnie, as well as I know the road to mill; and his horse is a powerful deal more intelligent than many human folks, anyhow !"
" Argenaen will do weU enongh if there ain't a squall; but it strikes me the sky looks rather hazy, and, depend upon it, this lull ain't fornothin'!" said a fonrth, peering anx¬ iously out into tlie darkness ; " aod if thero should be a squall—a regular " white eye," then—then"—and the speaker's involuntary shudder finished the sentence. The men drew closer together, as if for mutual protec¬ tion, and there was a ailenoe of a few mo¬ ments, broken at last by th* old man who hidflnt ipolun.
weather, ahe foUowed her conductor ont into the dark, piercing night, and waa lifted into the sleigh which awaited them. Argensen wrapped the buffalo closely aronnd her, and attaching the large glaaa lautem, which he had carried in his hand, to the front part of the cutter, he sprang iu. The horae was a large powerfully-built animal, of a dark, iron gray ; and his' fiery eyes, as weU as his long, slender neok, showed him spirited as strong. The eager crowd of idlers left their warm qparters by the inside atove, and gathered around the sleigh and its occupants, some ex¬ postulating on tbe mladness of the twain in aetting out on suoh a night—obhers wishing them G^od speed, and amid the murmured ac¬ clamations they drove off.
Half a mile on terra Jirma aud the horses feet rang sharp and olear on the solid ice of Winnipisaogee. The summits of the tall, blue mountains which rose on either side of onr traveUers were shrouded in an impene¬ trable mist, and the Hght wind which blew was insufficient to break up the clouds of rime lhat filled the air.
Little or no conversatioa passed between these two people, so recently thrown together. Argensen was occupied wilh the thoughts of the perilous undertaking before them; the lady with sad images of her dying mother— dying without the kiss of her only ohild to smooth her passage throngh the dark void between time and eternity [
With the anxious eye, the young moun¬ taineer scanned the thickening air, and the terrible thought would flit across his brain— "If the squalls should rise!"
Nearly four miles of the journey waa pass¬ ed over in safety. They had reached the dreariest part of the road, aud the darkness became almoat palpable. Mountains black as Erebus completely walled in the .shining track of ice, and by the pitching of the cut¬ ter, and the careful progress of the horse, they knew that drifts of snow and bilges of ioe obstructed the way. The wind steadily increased, and cut the face Uke a sharp icicle. The breatha of onr travelers congealed al¬ most before they left their bodies, and the dark sides *if the horse were covered with a feathery frost.
Tke cold became intense, permeating the thick buffalo skins as if they had been mere cobwebs, and the delicate frame of the young girl waa chilled through. Bravely ahe sup¬ pressed the deathly shivers that involuntari¬ ly stole over her, hut Argensen felt the effort, and drawing his arm around her, he said, in a low, earnest tone :—
"Lady, we are strangers, but it is no time to stand for ceremony, wben one is freezing ! Sit as close to me as possible, and lay your face here upon my breast; the wind is rising to a gale, and the squalls will be upou us ere
above him, "How rich he died ?" Experience has fally and emphatically taught the lesson, that much wealth left to heirs ia, in eight times out of ten, not a bleaaing, but rather a ourse.     Its expectation begniles and spoils the manly powers; its possession leads to mis-judgment, to excess, and SnaHy to ex¬ haustion and ruin.     Wealth is dangerous to all men, but especially to those who acquire il by inheritance, and consequently without having sustained the toil or secured the ma¬ turity of charactet that was necessary toils ac¬ quisition. ;rhe time will yet come when men of wealth will be wise enongh to makeagradual distribution of their properly while Uving— not prescriptive, but operative—thereby hav¬ ing an eye to the use that is made ofit, and a participation in the greatest enjoyment its posaession is capable of giving, that of aeeing it do good to othera.     They will dismiss the fcolish aspiration—foolish, especially in this country, where there are neither   laws  of primogeniture or entail, by which a ancces¬ sion of family millionairea may le kept up— of dying rich, with the certain reflection that the heira will sooner or later die poor.    To use borrowed but energetic langnage on Ibis aubject: "After hypocrites, the greatest dupea the devil has are those who exhaust an anx¬ ions existence is the vexations and disap¬ pointments of business, and live meanly and miserably only to die magnificent and rich." For, Uke the hypocrite, the only disinter¬ ested motive these men can accuse them¬ selves of is that of serving the devil withoat receiving his wages ; for the assumed morali¬ ty of the one is uot a more effectual bar to enjoyment than the real avarice of the other. He who stands every day at the ledger till he drops inlo the grave may negotiate many profitable bargains ; bnt he has made a sin¬ gle bad one, indeed, lhat more than counter¬ balances all the reat; for the empty foolery of dying rich, he has laid down hia health, his happiness, and his integrity ; aince, as a very old author observes,  "mortar sticketh between buying and  selling."     Enlerprise aud activity in busineas, and a passion for honest money-getting are good things in the world, aud he who uses his talents and capi¬ tal in this way is a benefactor to his race— but he who does all this for the sake of dy¬ ing rich, is a not a wise man in any way.
way are a greater or lesa namber of ohaira, where the keeper sits and entertains hia cna¬ tomers. ' A select, circle of .lonngera maybe found here at all honrs, and in moat places there is no man who does not loaf more or less, no matter what hia! position or calling. The posture assumed on this oooaaion ia in¬ variably the aame-^hair thrown bao^ againat the wall at an angle 45 degreea; left foot ou the crosa^U,, right ibdt on the left knee J hahirni;>o«k'dts, and Jheh a flle of fire spits The subjeots moatly diaonaaed are the prica of land, niggers, and horses.   If the stable happens to be ao near the hotel that the ringing of the beU for meals' oan be heard, the flrst note cauaes a general apring forward from the recumbent poaition, a aimultaneoas diacharge of quida from the mouth, and a ruah towarda the buckets of \fater in the verandah.   Once there, every man seises a ladle, fiUs hia month, gargles the water with terrible contortions of his features, expels it In a cascade into the atreet, and hurries off to the dining-room.   In a quarter of an hour you will flud most likely the aame'eet ou the aame apot, picking   their   teeth with pen¬ knives half opened, ao that the blade forma a right angle with the handle.   You must not suppose that this feeble sketch is true only of a low and disreputable class.   It ap- appUea equally to ex-goveraors, full colonels, and men subsisting on the wages of two ne¬ groes let ont for hire.   I once hoard a furious political discussion between two loungers at a livery-stable, which may aerve to give you an idea of the olaas of topioa which these gentlemen dilate upon.    A Texan present in¬ quired of his vis-a-vis what the sugar crop was Uke this year ?   "I don't know nothing about it," was the reply; " I ain't from the augar country; I'm a Merrylander (Marylan- der,) and thar we only sweeten our coffee with it, and vote for FiUmore.    I'm proud o^ my state, I am.   There ain't no state Uke it in the Union.   We're  all Americans there! ^nd there ain't no state has more southern feelin', and's fonder of southern principles-"
"I'm d d," interposed a Mississippian,
"if there's much southern feelin' in it."
This led to great excitement on both sides, very loud talking, and the consequent collec¬ tion of a large addition to the audience.

Iiife in a Southern Hotel.
•Witli one powerful hand he gnided tbe horae; with the other one he held close to hia side the Httle, trembling form of his compa¬ nion ; and the noble gray, aa if feeling that everything depended on their reaching the end of their joumey before the breaking of the squall over their heads, tore bravely ou. In vain I in vain I in vain I The mad wind bore along the ebon clouds with the swiftness of lightning, and scarcely more thau five milesof the "way were passed ere it burst upon them in all its fury. The dreaded " white eye" enveloped them. Hail and minute particles of frozen snow, in thick, continued sheets, blinded the eyes of the brave Argensen, and shut out the dim, overarching sky. The horse drew up under the lee of a wooded island, and eould be induced to go no farther. Argensen clasped both arms about his paralyzed companion, and waited the progress of the storm. Heavily, and more heavily, she leaned upon his ahoulder, aud at length the fatal truth rushed over him with appalling foTce^the sleep that inva¬ riably precedes dealh by freezing was upon her !   He sprang up wildly.
" For the love of Heaven, awake I Rouse yourself I    To sleep is death.'"
A faint moan was the only response. He tore ofi" the buffal^ robes which enveloped her, and vigorously chafed her cold hands, and breathed upon her icy-lips. For a time he feared that he held only death in his arms; hut at last, by the dim light of the lantern, he saw a flush steal over her faoe, and her eyelids slowly unclosed.
"Is it my mother holding me ?" she said dreamily; then, as if remembering all, she drew herself away from the arms that sup¬ ported her. Argensen soothed and encour¬ aged her, until the storm broke and the olouds were swept away. A few faint, strugg¬ ling stars burst through the billows of vapor, and, like angels' eyes, looked down upon the wide desert of snow. Two hours they waited tbere—two hours of agonizing suspense—ere the noble borse could he made to puraue hia way. With more than a mere brute instinct he knew the dangers of the way in the thick darkness and storm, and refused to sabject his master to greater peril.
As the wind sunk to rest, and the sky be" came clearer onoe more, our travellers went on, and afteran hour's swift trot they arrived safely at Wolf bum. The neoessary inquiries being made regarding the whereabouts of the young lady's mother, Argensen drove her to the honse specified, and yielding to the ur. gent solicitations of his feWovr-voyageurj he went in with her.
The first question of the afflicted girl was answered in suoh a manner that the warm blood flushed over her cheek and brow, and a fervent "Thank God t" burst from her lips.
'*Mr8. Huntington is better, much better," said the lady, whom Miss Huntington ad¬ dressed as "aunt;" and Julia—for that was tbe nanie of her who had put to .-^nch a trial the courage of William Argensen—advanced towards him, and laying both her hands in his, she burst into a flood of teara.
He took both the hands and pressed them to his lips. It was all the reward he asked— all she sought to give.
One year later, and in one of the moat splendid rasidenoes in Boaton, there waa a wedding—the groom was William Argensen» the bride Julia Huntington. That night of horror had become the parent of a lovo stron¬ ger than death—more enduring than life, and before that love the haughty pride of Julia's mother had melted away like snow before the sunshine. The noble young mountaineer for the sake of that love, left the hills and ralleys he loved, and in a celebrated univer¬ sity, his mind, already rich in the royal gifts of Nature's God, became refined in the flames of heaven-sent knowledge.
They are very happy now in their heaatifni home—that fair young wife and her-noble husband; and often do they bless tha fortune that caused them to pass that niobt upok

Let not an injury or an insult corrode in your bosom,; for bo doing you inereue tho f«]ai/. 17 >oaz own a«t.,:
From a long and interesting letter in the London Daily News of the 12th ult., we ex¬ tract the following graphic pictnre of the " Mansion House" at Canton, Miss., a small and rising town about twenty-five miles from Jackson:
The landlord was seated in the verandah outside the door, on a chair fitted hack against the wall, les jombes en air, and spat at least six times before he gave any indioatfeoa be¬ yond a calm stare, of hia being conscioua of my presence, fee then came out, took my horse hy the bridle, and aaked if I would not dismount, which I consented to do, upon hearing that I coald have a bed. In the " office," as usual, I fouud a large number of "gentlemeo," sitting round the stove, and amusing themselves by spitting upon it.— The dried and emaciated skeletons of previ¬ ous salivation covered it thickly already, and gave it very much the appearance of a geo¬ logical map, as each deposit had received a different hue underthe combined infiuence of oxidisation and variation in the degrees of heat.
The dinner bell was momentarily expected to ring, and I accordingly soon joined the expectant throng, who, after washing their mouths free of tobacco juice at the common bucket and common ladle outside, stood packed around the diniag-room door. On getting admittance, we rushed frantically to the table, and commenced " pitching in."— The fare was, as usual, very tough beef, very fat pork, and any quantity of hominy, sweet potatoes, and half-bakedwheaten Thread. Af¬ ter the meal, which most of the ' gnests had finished in about seven minut^Sj I begaiii to make inquiries after my bed, and was shown into a room in whioh there were four—three already occupied by two travellers each, and I was to make the second in tbe fourth. It was rather a diminutive apartment, without eilher table, carpet or curtains. The beds were all four-posters, and the undressed posts towered aloft towards the ceiling like the charred trunks of trees in a cotton clearing. The sheets and coverlids were both of the meanest calico, and had no doubt once been clean, but that period in their history was evidently already very remote.
After inspection of it in company with the negro waiter, who observed, with a grin, that " quite a heap slept in this room," I went down and presented to the landlord the al¬ ternative of having my horse brought roundi or giving me a room to myself- He chose the latter, and I was speedily installed in a chamber, which was filled by another four- poster, except a very small space near the door. There waa a table, however, thongh covered with a thick coating of dirt and grease, aud a carpet which had apparently been many years used as a spiltooo. Hav¬ ing depo;:9ted my saddlebags in it, I descended once more to the o£oe, and took my place at the door.
His stables, he assured me, were about the best in the States. I found that two wretched negro boys formed the whole staflF of hostlers and these had aii average of twenty horses per diem to attend to, rub down, clean, feed, saddle, unsaddle and water. They^ were rarely in bed before one or two in the morn, ing, and were generally np long,before day¬ light, and, of conrse, a great nnmber of the steeds were left to pasture. The white man who superintended tham by means of sitting on a cane-bottomed chair at the door, and talking with the droppers in, complained bit¬ terly of the "old man's" not supplying him
with more " help."   " God  d him if
he conld stand it any longer; every one wanted to have his horse washed, and rub¬ bed down, and ourried, but it was'nt possible for two niggers to do the work of ten."
I must not dismiss this livery-Btahle with, out saying a word abont livery-stables in the South in general- In the towns every man keeps a horse, but hardly any man has a sta¬ ble of his own. He "bards" at the hotel and the horse at the livery-stable, whioh. is sometimes designated by its owner a "horae mansion," and I must say, as a general rule the brute is far better off in every way than his owner. Better stables I have never seen in any part of the world than the great ma¬ jority, even in towns in which the taverns were scarcely habitable. Boarded floora, good roomy stalls, well made mangers, ample food, and carefnl attendance, one is nearly sure to meet with in all of them. The usual charge ia a dollar a day, bnt, everything considered, one is hardly inolined to call this extortion¬ ate.- At the^nmoeii an dfioe^ in whioh
Yeast.—"A Country Cook," writing upon "the bread queation," says she cannot make good bread because she oannot always get good yeast where she lives, in the interior of Indiana, and anks Tbs Tbiqunb to aid her.— She says:
"With many thanks for the information already received through the columns of Ths TniuDSE, I respectfully ask for this much more. "A Cototbt Cook."
Madam, you shall have it—here it is: Take 3 ounces of good fresh bops, 3^ pounds of rye flour, 7 pounds of Indian corn meal and one g-allon of water. Rub the hops so an to sepa¬ rate them.* Put them into boiling water and boil half au hour. Strain the liquor through a fine seive into an earthern vessel. While hot, put iu the rye flour, gtirring the liquor well and quickly, as it goes in. Next day, put in tbe Indian meal, stirring it well, and the mesa will be stiff dough. Kneed it well aa you would pie-cruat; roll it out to the thickness of about a third of an inch, and cut it up into cakea on a clean board or a tin, and put them to dry in tbe aun. Tarn them eveij day ; let them receive no wet; and they will beoome as^hard as ship bdscuit. Store them in bag or box, perfectly free from damp.-— When you bake take two cakes and crack and put them into hot water over night, in a vesael near the fire-place, where they will dissolve by moming, and then you use them in setting your sponge (aa it ia called), as you wonld use the yeast or beer; and these yeast- cakes may be kept just as long as you desire.

How TO Beas MiSFoatnsE.—WUen any ca¬ lamity has been snfl'ered, tbe Qrst thing to be remembered Ie, bow much baa been escaped. —Dr. Johnson.
Decency is a matter of latitude. In Turkey a man with tight pants on ia considered 30 great a vulgarian that he is not tolerated in respectable aociety. To spit in presence of an Arab is to make the aquaintance of his cheese-knife. In Russia that man is consid¬ ered low who refuses a warm breakfast Of fried candles. In this conntry vulgar people are such as keep good hours and live witbin their income.
Little acts of kindness, gentle words, loving amiles—they strew the path of life with fiow¬ ers, they make tbe sunshine brighter andthe green earth greener; and He who bade as "love one another," looks with favor upon the gentle and kind-hearted, and He pro¬ nounced the meek blessed.
Says a scientific writer : ",To obtain some idea of the immensity of the Creator's works let us look through Lord Ross' telescope, and we discover a star in the infinite depths of space whose light is 3,500,000 yeara in tra¬ versing to onr earth, moving at the velocity of twelve millions of miles in a minute. And behold God was there."
" What does the minister say of our new burying-ground ?" asked Mra. Hinss to her neighbor. " He don't like it at all; he saya he never will be buried there aa long as he lives." "Well," aays Hinea, "if the Lord spares my life I will."
Rememher that every peraon, however low has rights and feelings. In all contentions let peaoe be rather your object than triumph. Value triumph only as the means of peace.— Sydney Smith.
Let us be careful to distinguish modesty which is ever amiable, from reserve, whioh ia only pmdent. A man is hated sometimes for pride, when it waa an excess of humility tbaj gave tbe occasion.
He that hath a good book in his hand bnt not a lesson of it at his heart or life is like an ass that carriea a burden and feeds upon the thistles.
