TETTE INDEPENDENCE.
A TALE.
"I am very glad to gee that proud thing yonder bronght down a little," aaid a young girl standing at an open window, watohing the large drops of rain prooeeding from an Impending thnnder Btorin as they fell npon the passing ^ars of a younger and fairer female than^toself.
*' Oh yes, Alioe, I kuow you always rejoice in misfortunes happening to others," replied A young man who hore a strong family like¬ ness to the first speaker; " I know you hate poor Ellen Williamgon, hut I would have the good taate to keep a little of my unjustifiable not to say malicious, weakness to myself.— See how downcast and unhappy sbe looks," he continued;'with a sigh, as tbe objeot of their uotice looked up towards the porch. way of the old farm house, in search of shel¬ ter from the falling rain which would soon have penetrated her thin  summer clothing.
*Jnst like the soft sentimental thing," sneered tbe implacable Alice, " I dare say she sees you—" What she would have ad¬ ded was checked by tbe sadden exit of her brother, whose tall figure, to her great morti¬ fication she soon beheld by the aide of Ellen, moving in respeotful entreaty that she would enter the house with him.
There was no time for hesitation, tbe atorm drovd both iuto the houso : but wheu tUey entered the sitting-room Alice Gardner was gone. Her brother was evidently annoyed and yet be seemed not sorry that he should be left with the gentle, amiable girl, who vainly looked round for the form she had seen at the window just before she came in.
mere are few women who haveb«ii wared, in luxury., and then cast npou ttte^" oim uecessarily limited resources for ottiOning &. living, that wonld perhaps have Uie ¦ moral: oounige tofoT^et past indulgencefl andao^ commodate themselves lo circumstatfoes. so; ag to cheerfully brave the.world's opinion of a retrograde movement in society, sooner than compromise this truth and dignity of woman, by a marriage of oonyenienoe, espe- cially.where no feeling of dislike existed against the would-be partner of a life oom¬ pact. Of theae few, Kleu was one. She had no dislike of Mr. Gardiner; he tad offered her a home auperior to her owu, in some respects—^but he had not the intellect^ the manners of a man ahe would have pre¬ ferred before all others. He could not reaoh the deep feelings of her heart,-—and she scorned to share a home where she feared ahe could uot contribute to the happiness of the possessor.
She felt it no degradation to labor in the humblest manner, and that best suited to her capacity, so long as it was necessary for her todo so; hut she wouldhave esteemed it auch, had Bbe resorted to the meannesB of marrying without those feelings which aanoti- fy the domestic dutiea, and hallow those ties which God and mau havedeemed so eaaential to the well-being of society. Nor would sbe have thonght much better of the plan which we see bnt too ofteuadopted,of strongyoung women depending upon the overtasked exer¬ tions of aged, infirm parents, or others who happen to be too proud to allow the women of tbe family to exert themselves honorably —yetnot too proud tosee them dragging out a miserable, because idle, existence, unless their manoeuvring secures them a huaband; —in other words, a man to keep them in consideration of their household useftilness. Ko sensible persou would be pleased to see a woman boldly stepping out of her own sphere, to make herself ridiculous in trying to carry ont those measures capable of being only thoroughly understood by the stronger sex, or casting off the sweet garb of modesty generally supposed to be the natural cover¬ iug of womanly virtues, as our sisters over the water are said to do; but none could object to a woman displaying her peculiar tact or fitness for the offices of domestic life, her earnest endeavors to obtain employmeut in auy branch where tha reserve or the mo- Charles Gardner w.atched with no slight I ^jy^^y^f ^jjjjjau is not outraged by ita nature interest the expression of those soft hazel i ^.^ associations.

very unpleasant to have been in the fields jnst now," he said, in a low voice, and taking a seat by her side when he closed tho window. There is nothing in tbe fine, manly figure, the open face of Charles Gardner to drive any woman from him ; yet Ellen half rose^ and hastily asked, " Where is your auut or Alice gone lo ? I aaw one or both as I waa passiug here."
"Oh, Auut Mary is gone on ono of her charitable missions," he answered readily, " and Alice was here,—but she is gone, she- she—she saw you, and—and—"
Ellen noticed his hesitation, and kuowing something of Miss Gardner's peculiarities, did not evince mnch surpriae at her absence; but the fact of Alice's abrupt disappearance made her nneaay, not that she feared her companion would ever be guilty of the thought of evil towards her, yet his siater, who she well knew had a strange dislike of her, might plaoe her owu coustructiou upon the most trifiing circumstance.
How detestable is this character—that of defamer, a back-biter, or slanderer.    •
Alice was the pitiable poaseasor of these vices. She had considered herself the belle of the little village of Merton, till EUeu Wil¬ liamson, the daugbter of a gentlemau in straitened circumstances, came to reside in the place. Then Miss Gardner had the mor¬ tification of seeing her most favored admirer, Frederick Horton, transfer his attentions lo her innocent and unauspecting rival.
Yes, EUen was really innocent of the knowl¬ edge that the young, agreeahle son ofthe only lawyer the adjoining town could boast of had heartlessly deceived the vain, dash¬ ing Alice, for hia own pastime, and waa un¬ suspicious of his real character till oa the death of her father, and the blight which consequently fell on her own future pros- .pects, she aaw the mask which had concealed a vicioua and depraved
It was just at thia timi nurtured EUen was th^ reaources for subsistance,' who had tUl now heen reati ested motives, began to assail the character of her rival.
The Gardners were wealthy farmers, so it was easy for Mr. Horton to transfer hia atten¬ tions to Alice again, and she was glad to tri¬ umph, as ahe thought, over EUen once more; not that the latter permitted the loas of a worthless man lo destroy her peace, l^ut ahe was one of those sensitive natures that can¬ not forget one they have had reasou to believe deserving of their regard, ao as to bestow the .smile of affection on tbe first object that of¬ fers itself to them.
Thus matters stood at the lime we hegan to write, and it waa with a strange, uncom¬ fortable feeUng EUeu felt obliged to remain inthe sooiety of Charles Gardner, leaving hia sister to pursue her amiable course aa she pleased,.
The thoughts of the young mau seemed troubled, till he looked into the face of hia companion eameatly, seriously. What he aaw there emboldened him to speok words which had never before paased hia lips to auy womau. l^llen WiUiamion waa not the one to trifle with the emotiona of a true good heart, or to treat with disdain the best proof any honorable man could give of his homage. Her voioe was lower, and perhaps sweeter, than ever, when she replied to him—
" BeUeve me, I can never forget, or under¬ value, the disinterested affection which bas induced you to offer me thia comfortable home (aud her eye glanced over the well- furnished rooms of the old-fashioned farm¬ house,) but I cannot accept it, I have no in tentiou of marrying for years to come."
"Pear Ellen," he urged, "how cau I see yon toiling for bread, see you teacher at our village^school where you have ever been re¬ garded nnder such different circumstances I Oh, were Ibut Frederick Horton, how different you would yon answer me; yet—"
"Not auother word of Atm," interrupted EUen, with more quictnesa than usual; "had ]
to dissuade her from teaching, ahe said, " Noi I am not cast down by the foolish discourage- menta of those who adviae me to hunt up my relationa and beg a home, aooner than descend from the ' lady' to the governess ; uor will I undertake to fulfil a aituation in a family which I feel unequal to, beoanse the viUage schoolmistress must meet with a little sUgbts sometimes from those she has hitherto been equal with, much less follow your ad¬ vice and marry at my early age, before I know tbe natnre and strength of that affec¬ tion of which I feel myself capable. No, no, I wiU try to support mys6if; if I fail, I can hut do theu as you would have me do now ?" Poor girl! she entered bravely on her task with a light heart, but ere long she found, as all othera do in every case, something to check her in her way onwards ; yet she suf¬ fered not a slight obstacle to obstruct her in her path, or she wonld soon have been glad of any of the resources pointed out by her lesa conscientious, leas persevering advisers. The day on which we presented her to our readers must again bei looked back upon, and then we shall be introduced to that impor¬ tant female, Miss Gardner. Important, and yet a no greater character than one of those despised peraons desiguated " old^maids."— By the way, we are nbt like those pdrt and un- manerly old people who delight in applying this epithet to single ladies who have too high a regard for their Uberty to sacrifice it to a tyrant in pantaloons; for every body knows that a maiden aunt ts the moat im¬ portant personage in a family.
Who can arrange the pillow under the aching head of the young man fresh from college, and anffering from the effects of last night's debauch, with anch care, or give such excellent advice, while pouring aome sooth¬ ing mixture out of her own elaborately pol¬ ished, correctly labeUed bottles, as aunt Mary ? who ever handles a bruised limb, a gouty extremity, or a broken boue like her? and then her caudle! aak all the rejoicing mam¬ mas in the neighborhood about that, who have praises and thanka for her absolutely numberless ; think, too, of her easy way of managing obatreperous youngatera of five or aix years; and the saperior mauner she has of answering the responaea at the chris¬ tening of those of more tender age I Who is so importaut as the maideu aunt ? and moat assuredly Miss Gardner waa every day being made fully aware of the poaition assigned I her iu society.
I Her nephew had just rouaed himself from I his dreams of Ellen Williamson, and rang the bell for tea, when he perceived the tall, angular figure of the good lady stalking in a most undignified manner through the mnd up to the door. Something had been the matter thts time, thought Charles, aa she committed the unheard-of outrage of leaving the impress ofher feet on the door-atep be¬ fore wiping on the grass. On ahe came right into the aitting-room, her sharp eyea search¬ ing every nook and corner, as if some fay or sprite had just vanished into each of them. " Where is she ?" at last came from Miss Gard¬ ner's compreaaed. Ups, in a slow and emphatic manner. " Nephew, I am surpriaed at yon ; you onght to conaider that the young wo¬ man's character ia endangered by your iudia- cretion."
" By the malice of my sister, you mean, aunt," returned the young man, quickly; " How do 3*ou know Ellen has heen here ?" " I met her ; ahe told me moreover that Alice waa not with you at any time during the whole hour the storm lasted."
" Au hour V Charles repeated, " Why it seemed really but a few minutes; and you well know Alice would do anything lo annoy Miaa Williamson else she would never have kept away the whole time."
"It cannot be helped, AUoe was rude, but I hope such a thing wUl not occur again," said Miss Gardner, in a lone suited to the re¬ quiem of the piece of prudery whose decease ehe mourned.
" Why, aunt, you will catoh  your death;

would never have been anything to me; when I did, that, coupled with hia levity, was more thau enongh to make me look upon him with the contempt a male flirt, deaarves from every right-minded woman I"
Vainly did Charles Gardiner plead with all the earnestness of a lover. EUen did not love him as she had loved Another; she told him she couldnev^j^arry/or a ftome, while the young, fresh energiea of yoj^h lay un¬ tried within her, butthe time ^ight oome when she oould give him more affeotion than now,—when hia Bifiter'9 dislike ehould have wom away,—when" she had tried tb Uve hy tiie talent God had given her to use.
While prosperity kept EUen In a superior poaition to himaelf, Chariea Gardiner" had never hreathed the. love which.had woven itself with;- hia existence: and the' trlala whioh he1fcneW':Bhe would have to endme as A teacber, irhioh Bituation .she had aooepted, aeemed only «a-"'many etepa* forward^ the happiness he somaqh'bpTeted!. .It 7as,.there. fore, with 8omflthixig4ik6 hope thathe Buf- fered her to deput' sfUrtfadjBtorm to her lodging, .in the ^iuage^ vhii»-h9i«aiaiaed to dnAzao^mnd'plsn'thefutanr.^^   ¦
ject, as he took a portion of her dripping gar¬ ments into his hand, and squeezing it till a drop fell on the carpet. The shoclt waa eleo- tric in its effect.
" Oh 1 dear, dear II had forgotten this new carpet was down here," and off ahe bounced to tbe upper pairt ofthe houae to change her dreaa ready for tea.
Thepmufltately gait of the lady who en¬ tered afew minutes after was.entirely differ¬ ent from the bne stalking through'the mnd snd uow was the tinie'to behold'Aunt Mary in her glory. The make of her shining black satin was nof^to he found fault with, consid* ering-4het)eouliar fashion ofii.

Then the dainty Utile'jean slipper and blaok silk Btooking showed why a pretty foot and ^ankld spumed any nnneoesaary covering by the dreas; Few had a fuUer, glossier blaok wig, than atmf Mary had of her own hair, notwithstandlug.age ; and never was seen a jauntier oap, than aat on her head, aa »f it, hated to cover the dark corkscrew ringlets, or vie in color with her blue eyes.
Aunt Mary had been handsome and was now very loveable; all bat for her peculiar¬ ities.
So thought her nephew, as he sat dreami¬ ly watohing her pour out his lea, and in a few minuiefl proceeded gravely to hand her bread and butter from an empty plate.
" In love, Charley, or what ?" ahe laughed good-naturedly, letting him hold it a aecond or two.
" Why,'Jfair EUen* has heen here, that's it," anawered Alioe for him, aa he seemed too muoh token even to speak. " He oannot for¬ get her even! to eat or drink; I do believe he would go to—".
" At any rate you could forget the oourtesy due to one of your own sex, Alice," he inter- rtipted, "and I hope you will only be as for¬ getful to retail all you.know or add to it.'.'
"What could I add to the pretty science of Charles Gardner making an offer to the viUage achoolmiatresa and beiug refuaed ?" ahe asked, her face crimsoning at the re¬ proof.
"So you played the eavesdropper?" he aaid, iu a toue which ahowed he was muoh annoyed; "it ia all of a piece with your un¬ womanly conduct towarda one your superior." " I am astonished!" murmured aunt Mary, recovering slowly from the shock which her nephew's conduct gave her. " You, Charles who never seemed to notice ladies, offering yourself only to be refused! Yon are young yet."
" 07ify five-and-twenty,"he returned; "I am not old enough to choose yet, I auppose." " Did ahe refuse you ?" qnestioned his aunt, looking into bis handsome face, and scanning his fine form, and wondering how it could be.
" Sho refused him," repeated Alice, spite¬ fully ; " I have beard her regret he had not the polish of Mr. Horton. I dare say ahe has not forgotten him, hor pride led her to prefer a professional gentleman to a rich farmer so uncouth."
" Kotir words are not worth answering," he eaid, sharply; " she refused me merely because ahe had uo preference; abe was too honorable to throw herself on any man'a bounty for a home aud tbat only."
"Well, Chariea, I would not have been re¬ fused hy a school teacher while pretty inde¬ pendent Lizzie Wilson waa to behad," said hia aister; "as Frederick says, 'Ellen has no proper pride in her to goto teach a parcel of chits while—"
" Yon might do better, Alice, than repeat what such au ape as Horton says," iuterrup- ted aunt Mary, calling to miud sundry little things ahe had aeen to approve in Ellen Wil¬ liamson. "Aa to independence, commend me to a girl like Ellen, wbo haa tbe moral courage to do anything sbe cau, so loug as it ia not disgraceful, sooner than one Uke Miss Wilson, who is too helpless to do auything for herself, and boastingly parades her ig¬ norance iu saying she does not know how to make a pudding, and will never condescend to leam how. By the way, Alice, I may add I wonld sooner see you learning the nature of domestic duties even ahould you never need it, tbau wasting ao much time on flimay handerchiefa, and that criukum crankum crotchet, of no use but to harbor dirt; I ad¬ mire the ornamental, but I do not like tbe useful to be despised when you marry."
"Mr. Horton will not expect me to do the' cooking and diah-washing, if Charles requires his 'fair Ellen' to descend to oheese-making,'» exclaimed Alice, raising from herseat; "1 am not portionless, sbo ia, that's a great dif¬ ference. Escuae me, aunt, I am not inclined for a lecture," and the would-be fine lady quitted the room, muttering "Cook and olean, indeed! I wonder what next [ My education haa been differeut to such things, such every day affaira." True, but she forgot that these form the staple of Ufe's comfort and happi¬ ness ; thatmuch depends on comfort, that it is good for every womau to understand the nature of such things, though ahe need not labor with her handa among them.
"Alice will be glad to cook before eating if she marriea Frederick Horton, or I'm greatly deceived," exclaimed Charles, aa his sister closed the door behind her; and his annt sympathized so much in his views, lhat she actually promised to visit EUen Williamson, and do anything for the mutual good of hey and her much-loved nephew.
When did Miss Gardner break a promiae, or do things by halves? Never,—could have replied Mr. Jonas Springgiua, who was per¬ fectly astonndf'd at the orders he received for walking boota; and the rebeUiona urchin who had his mouth washed out with soap¬ suds for saying bad words, or his heart purged of sundry noxious humors proceeding there¬ from by nauseous medicine possessing little strength save its nanseouaness—could have safely added his testimony in confirmation of the same.
EUen was glad to receive the well-meant visits of the punctual lady, bnt firmly refused any offer of pecuniary assistance, or to visit the farm-house till something occurred whioh removed her objection to going tbere.
Mr. Horton, aa most flirts somehow contrive to do, managed to couimit himself uninten¬ tionally, but most effectnally. The old game of diamond-cut diamond had been played with spirit between himself and a lady of the aame stamp. He had to own "jilted," and prompted by a feeling of despair or pique, proposed to Alice Gardner and was acoepted. The dashing bride fluttered about in white lace and orange bloaoms for a few daya, feel¬ ing more independeut thau aver while spend¬ ing her marriage portion, the gains of othera before her, or visiting the village achool to beatow her patronage in atraw bonneta, or white tippets distributed among the childreu, more to display the contrast between herself and the humhle industrious teachers of such chits, thau anything else.
EUen Williamson felt the contrast, but it pained her not. She knew that the cara of those little children involved a holy respon¬ sibiUty ; and though the field of labor might be humble it might be also fraitful, aud bring her a great reward hereafter. The happlneas arising from an honorable course of duty where the energiea God haa given each of his creatures are hrought into play, surely bringa more heartfelt satisfaction than that liatleaa dependence on others which degrades any atrong man or woman poaaeasing the full faculties of reason, and in the independence conferred by the sitnation, as regarded choioe of action, EUen Williamson, the teaoher of a village sohool pitied the helpless flne lady before her in the peraon of Mra. Horton.
One oould pursue her course, rough aome¬ times, though it might be with none to blame or control her notion of right, while the other was actually a slave to the very aervants of her houaehold, and to the husband ahe had married because he was a gentlemau, indepen¬ dent of the drudgery of business. But he was not independent of the very natural pro¬ cesa of Uving, and ahe aoon found to her coat that she had committed a great mistake in oyer thinking ao, eapeciaily when her chU¬ dren began to need her thoughts for their futtire.

Miss Williamson - remained perseveringly at her school, till the got>d reolor of Merton reoommended her to. his rich sister Mrs. Sand- ford, aa teaoher to her childreu. EUeu had wiaely refrained from undertaking auoh a aituation while sKe.kuew heraelf decbmp'etent, bnt the brave heart whioh feared not life's battle ;Witb:peDiu7 so much as the raging atorm of domestio discord, waa not to daunted in the acquirementa of acaomplishmeuts.
The atruggling vUlage teacher, who had not soorned to helieve the souls of poor ill- clad children worth caring about, had rlaen step by step, to the accomplished, well-paid governess, the companion.and.friend of her employers.
Agreeable in person, clever, and fascrnating in manners, she was not long without admi¬ rera ;'but some how or other she invariably oontrasted them with Charles Gardner. More poliahed, more distingue they certainly were, but the aame manly openneas, and earneat sincerity, ahe found not. Sbe visited the farm-house at Merton. more tban formerly: aha met the Hortous, and found the civiUty of Alice less incomprehensible lo her own mind than the perfect indifference With whicii she could meet the dissipated bloated looking man who once posaessed the entire affection of her tme, strong beart; atill the memory of old thoughts would cling round her, enough to prevent the full appreciation of the one who truly loved her.
It was a few days after ahe had left them, baving speut a week in the society of Miss Gardner and her nephew, while engaged in a drawing lesson out of doors with her pupils^ that ahe beheld the former stalking up the garden-walk in that peouliar, mauner which said something was the matter, and her cheek paled when told that Charles woa dangerously ill of Fever.
His aunt added he wished to see I^er. She wanted her to go back with her to Merton, in such a tone tbat all her feara for her own 'safety could not prevent heraccediog to their united requests.
She found him apparently dying, and Mr. Horton standing by his bedside in the un¬ mistakeable expeotation of some benefit ac¬ cruing to himself, should death ensue.
The eager expectancy, the heartleaauesa depicted on his face, and expreaaed in his manner, for ever dispelled the illusion which had hang like a cloud over her, blighting her beat prospects ; ahe no longer kept a jealous wateh over her heart leSt any conaideration of convenience ahould lead her lo accept a lover's attentions, and felt obliged to admit that her future happiness much depended on the helpless sufferer before her. She owned to herself, as many have done before hen that the ardour of a flrst attachment ia much increased by youthfol, inexperienced antici¬ pation, while a seoond may be devoid of the same bounding emotion, yet more enduring, because better based.
The good was spared to disappoint the bad. Chariea Gardner, iu answer to EUeu's and Misa Gardner's prayer.^, recovered, while Horton only regretted the loss of hia antici¬ pations, atill more when he found Miaa Wil- liamaon no longer turued a deaf ear to her lover's pleading.

A year or two has gone by since EUen changed her uame to Garduer from that of Williamson ; how happily to her and her huaband \ Her gentle companionship had polished his manners eveu more thau Alice's had altered Mr. Horton's. None who atudy auoh things would ever have given the title of gentleman to Horton in preaence ol Mr- Gardner, or lady to his wife before Ellen.— Although the Gardners despised not small things as the Hortous did, they wonld have been too independent to live idly upon other's assiatance. Dear good aunt Mary rejoiced lu the happiaeaa of her nephew, while abe sorrowed over the wreck of the once dashing helpless Alice. The last time we aaw her was after one of her excursions through the village, when ahe entered the old farmhouse in a stronger frenzy, so to speak, that on the memorable day of the storm."
"Only to think Alice Horton haa got one of thoae French abominations, criu-crinol— something sbe calls them," exclaimed the exasperated lady, surveying ber own dreaa with loving complacency aa she flung her agi¬ tated form into an easy cbair; " a guinea or two more for auch a thing as that, and her children shoeless, her huaband buttonleaa, because ahe ia to independent to sew !"
"But not.to reap. Aunty," exclaimed a ourly headed boy, of len years, juat like Chariea Gardner, only he had hia mother's curls; " remember that in the will."
"Charles Gardner, the aecond, right enough." aaid Aunt Mary, patting hia head fondly; " but remember, my boy, true independence is to^belp youraelf in any honorable manner God chooses for you. The man dignifies the ocQupatioBf, not the occupation the man."
" That ahall head the new copy-book, aunt," answered the boy, " dou't fret about the Eortons—though I don't aee the use if they won't do better themselvea."
"Run to play, Charles—aunt Mary and I will see about them," said Mr. Gardner.
" And the orinoliuefl," laughed the  merry
child, ruuning off as fast as he could scamper.
"The very abomination Alice sailed about
in among her dirty children 1" exclaimed
Miaa Gardner.
"Oh, dear, dear! m my yoong daya if a woman had been brazen enough for that, a horsepond would have beeu the place for it. Ellen never wears such a thing-^thoagh she does aee that everytliing ia properly done in the house."
"I'll try them again," said Mr. Gardner; " I have quite enough for myself and to spare —perhaps they will learn better one of theae days."
Aunt Mary shook her head and gave a vig¬ orous stirring to the gruel she was making for a sick ohild iu tbe vUUage, resolving to give Mrs. Horton a longer leoture than ever when she next saw her.
Again and again did Mr. Gardner extend his asaiatance to the Hortona. They would make no retrogradftmovement, not they, Mra Horton and tho cliildren muat do and dress Uke their neighbors: aud Frederick, who had been hrought upa gentleman, must starve on hia meana when he might have lived re¬ apected had he only condescended" to some respectable oocupation.
So they go ou and will go on, adding to tbe catalogue of those ¦victims of appearance making, while the Gardners live to point out and foUow the pathito true independence. . Setting aside this", the contrast ijetween the misery of the.poor, proud gentility, aped by the poverty-stricken Hortona, and the self- reliant happiness-they inight have experien- .cedis au every-day ooourrehoe;. while the noble self-exertion bf EUen-Wiliiamaon, or any man, woman, or ohild, similarly eituated, la a thing to be praised and applauded by all,
.Let no woman contractau unsuitable, disa¬ greeable marriage for a home, but let her work in the wide field, open for labor of tbe head or hand. Let her not he a burden on riends for her entire aupport so long ae ahe has any capaoityj hut let h^r try for that in- dtjpendeht freedom of chofoe pr action whibh ahsUplaceher.abbve/a meroenaty: union, a degradingmaiicenvring for a fine, home: in. which she may speud the listlesa: hours of her clouded life; for as surely as a woman marriea yit|hout those feelings jrhigh ahould go to the alter^ with her; BO aurely will her fdture life be obscured by the olohd caused by indifference^to the welfare of those around- ier."

when they might be better employed in hur- ; rying through their, cases.
KiBSsa.—^The kiasea of frienda are insipid. Kisses ahould be eaored to lovera, It ia the passion that ia in a kiaa lhat gives to it ita sweetneSB.-
Ths LAKGDA.OB OF Tubes.—It is curious lo what a degree one may beoome attached to a flne tree, especiaUy when it is placed where tr^a are rare. I well remember an old tree in a little back-yard of an offioe In Wall atreet, where I dreamed the dream of yonth many years ago. Its every motion was fa¬ miliar tb me. It had a sympathy for ev«ry mood, and &om the sighing of ita branches iu a storm, to the laughter of its leaves wbeu rustled by a gentler breeze, it expressed all emotions. It stood there the repreaenta¬ tive of the oountry I loved ao well. In the sultry hours of aummer it babbled of oooi wooda aud shady nooks, as the little grasa- plat near it did of the green fields; iuautumn it was a great moral teaoher, eloquent of mutation and decay; In winter, robed in anew, or resplendent with pendant Icicles, it pleased tbe fancy, and fllled it to the full with a sense^of beauty, and in the spring, Hope came and " blossomed in its branches."
Beauty of Women.—The beauty of womau transceuda all other forms of beauty, as well in the sweetness of ita suggestions, aa in the delicious fervor of the admirationit awakens. The beauty of a lovely worn^n is an inspira¬ tion ; a sweet delirium ; a gentle madness.— Her looks are love potions.
Prooreps.—Men grow better aa they grow older. So do societiea. Thia is the grand law, subject, like all general lawa, to aeeming exceptions. It is to this end that we are created, and it ia to thia eud that the world is tending.
Love ik a Cottage.—Beautifnl aie the af¬ fections, they are never ao beautiful as wbeu they are found adorning the abode of the poor mau, and surviving yeara of hardship, the ilia of povery, aud the carea of domestio life. The humblest home so sanctified, both the eye of God and the heart of man love lo dwell upon.
Female Appauel.—A young lady cau ouly look charming at so much per yard. A pret¬ ty miss in calico is a lovely woman in ailk, and a charming girl iu muslin is au angel iu satiu. At least she thinks so, and, a-s she is accnatomed to say, who would dare to con¬ tradict a lady? More thau onco I bave tried to get my wife to purchase a handsome arti¬ cle of calico, and have it.made into au elegant fitting dresa, aud then accompany me to cburch iu it, but to no purpoae. She would consider it a desecration of the Sabhath.
Philosophy.—I doubt alwa_\ s the soundness ot hia philosophy who ii not made more cheerful by it. The best definition of philo¬ sophy I know of is that of Victor Cousin, occurring in bis treatiae on the Philosophy of the Beautiful. "What is philosophy?" he aska. "It is something that lightens np, that makea bright."
Rustic Pleasdhes.—Rural walka are plea¬ santer than rural ndes,. The charm of the country is in its eights aud sounds. Ou horseback, or in a carriage, the senses are not lulled bythe hum of insects, the rustling of leaves, or the songs of birds. These, and more than these, the distant Bounds tbat fall ao aweetly on the ear, that break only to illuatrate and deepen the peacefulneas of the scene, are all rendered inaudible by the clat¬ ter or clump of your horse's feet, or the roll of your wheela.
Female Lawyers.—The proposed admia¬ aion of .females to practice iu. our courts of law is subject to a serioua objection. The handsome would win all their causes, and the homely would lose them. At least this is my feeling iu tbe matter. A beautifnl woman, who has added the graces of art to tha charms of nature, and who by assiduoua cultivation has made her mind as attractive as her person, would have but little difficulty, imagine, in convincing my reason of almost anything. All beautiful thinga dignify and ennoble
suitors, in elaborating ponderous opinions, [ that it may spring up quickly, so aa -to ha
tender and criap.- Then, Sir, ir ahould be new plucked, carried from tbe garden a few minntea before it is placed upon the table.— I would suggest a parasol, Sir, to keep the leavea oooluntil it reaches the shadow of within doors. Than, Sir, it must be washed—¦ mind you, ice water! Then place it upon the table—what Corinthian ornament more perfeot and symmetrical! Now, Sir, comes tbe importaut part—the dressing. ' To dress a salad,' aays the learned Petrua Petroniua, * you musthave a prodigal to famish the oil, a counsellor to diapense the aalt, a miser to dole out the vinegar, and a madman to atirit." Commit that to memory, my learned friend."
" It ia down. Doctor." ( Tablets.) "Let me show you," continued Dr. Bnah- whaoker, *'how to dress a aalad. Take a amall apoonful of aalt, thus: thrice the quan¬ tily ofmuatard-^Durham—thus: Incorporat pour a slender stream of oil from the cruet, ao; gently mix and inoreaae the action by degreea," (head of hair in commotion, and face brilUant in color); " dear me! it is very warm—now. Sir, oil in tbundftnce, so; a dash of vinegar, very light, like the lost touohea of the artist; and. Sir, we have the dressing.— Now, take up the lettuce by the stalkl Break off tho leaves—leaf by leaf—shake off the water, replace iu the salad bowl, pepper it slightly, pour on the dressing, and there you have it. Sir."
"Dootor, is that orthodox?" '.'Sir," replied Dr. Buahwhacker, holding tbe boxwood spoon In one hand and the box¬ wood fork iu the other, "the eyea of thirty ceuturiea are looking down upon me. I know tbat Frenchmen will sprinkle the lettuce with oil until it is thoroughly saturated; then. Sir, a Uttle pepper; then, Sir, salt or not, as it happens; then. Sir, vinagre by the drop—all very well. Our people, Sir, in the State of New-Jferaey will dress it with aalt, vinegar aud pepper—perfectly barbarous, my learned friend. Then comes the elaborate EngUshman; and our Pennsylvania friend. Rev. Sydney Sinith, Sir, gives us a recipe in verse, lhat shows how they do it there, and at the same time exhibits the deplorable ignorance of that very peculiar people. I quote from memory. Sir:
and In all these certain other kiuds of- prop¬ erty are exempted from attaohment. Meohan-
ipa' Uen lawa exiat in all the Statea except Maryland and Kentucky, where, singularly enough', only Wrtain cpuntiea afford ' thia protection to the mechauio , Married wonien bave independent rights- in property whioh tfaey posseaaed at the time of marriage, more generally tfaan is supposed. They possess theao rights, with qualifications iu some instancea, in the Statea of Maine, Maasaohusetts, Connecticut, New York, Penn sylvania, Maryland, VirginiajNorth CaroUna, Alabama, Louisiaua, Florida, Texas, 'Tennea¬ aee, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigau, Iowa, Wis- conain and California, and the Territory of Minnesota. In none of these Statea can prop¬ erty which a woman held at tbe tirae of her marriage be alienated by tbe huaband with¬ out her consent, nor is it liable for his debts. Recent legislation in aomo of the States may perhaps have changed the matters above specifled, bnt these facts are as reliable aa the nature of things will permit.

Fruits and Flowers.—Thera is that iu the wonderful beauty of fruits and floflrera that reveals a divine origin, and which inapires awe almost as much as tbe grander phases of nature. The firmament glittering with atars; "old ocean's gray and melancholy waste;" tbe mountaina with their lonely summits enveloped in snow, or lost in the clouds;—these are all revelations of God's power,—but it ia easier to oonoeive them to have been the results of chance, than so to ' regard these more exquisite creations of in¬ finite genius, taete, and skill.
Laeoe DEPOstT OF Honey.—A aomewhat singular discovery was made a few days ago iu the honse occupied by Mra. Qen. Wiugate, on the corner of Spring'and High streets, Pottland. Tbe Argus has the foilowiug ac¬ count.of the atorj; .
¦ The inmates of one of our largest np-town mansion honses, a few daya since, were aur¬ prised to find a large number of bees flying aboutin two of the upper rooms. As the little fellows continued to ocoiipy the places, a bee naturalis^ was sent, for to iuyestigate thematter. Ou entering one of the rooma, he exolaimed, *'Yoti hare honey somewhere here," and proceeded to search for it. On re¬ moving the fire-board he discovered ihat one. fine of the ohimney:was fnll of honey oomb, and was hangings down into the fire piaoes, and the hbney._waB'drbpping'from it.' Proceed¬ ing to the top of the house to sound the ohim- ney, he found it the same; one flue of the chimney was fnll and the bees were induBtri- ously at work there also..
These flues of the chimney had neVerbeen used; they w;ere--plastered  smooth inside,

Bates of Interest Property Laws, &c., in the Different States.
We find in a late aud authentic work, some interesting facts relative to the rates of interest established by law in the different States, together with information concerning the protection alTorded to mechanics by lien laws, and also the'rights of married women in property. The scale of interest is exceed¬ ingly varied, and in some Statea the rate is unlimited where a special contract is made. In all the New England States (except Ver¬ mont, where unusual interest is legal when contracted for,) and in New .fersey, Peunsyl¬ vania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Caroliua, Tenneasee, Kentucky, Indiaua, and the district of Columbia, the rate of interest is fixed by law at six per cent.; in New York South Carolina and Georgia, seven per cent. ; in Alabama eight per cent. ; in Mississippi, six per cent., or for money loaued, not ex¬ ceeding ten per cent.; in Louisiana five per cent., or by agreement of parties, ten per cent., bank interest, five to eight per cent.; Florida six per cent., or by agreement eight; Texas, eight per cent, or higher, to twelve per cent., by agreement ; Ohio, six per cent., or aa high as ten per cent., if stipulated in written inatmmerits—banka allowed only aix per cent.; IlUuois, Missouri aud Iowa, six per cent., or by agreement as higlx as ten. ; Michigan, seven per cent., or as high as ten per cent., by agreement ; Wisconsin seven per cent., or as high aa twelve by agreement; Minnesota, seven per cent., or any higher rate if agreed in writing ; Califomia, ten per cent., or any higher rate hj contract. It will thus be eeen thatall the older Statea (except Vermont) adhere atrictly to minimum rates of interest.
The penalty affixed to usury in the State of Maine ia forfeiture of the debt; in New Hampshire, forfeiture of three times the usu¬ ry: In Vermont, excess not collectable, and when paid may be recovered back with costs ; in Massachusetts, three times the unlawful interest taken, and in case of a bauk, forfei¬ ture of the debt; in Rhode Island, forfeiture of excess; in Connecticut, forfeiture of all in¬ terest ; in New York, the contract made void but corporationa oannot eet up usury &? a de¬ fence—^persons who take usury punishable by a flne not .exceeding $1000, or six months impriaonment or both; in New Jersey, for¬ feiture of whole amonnt; in Pennsylvania, forfeiture of nanrioha interest in an action on the contract, and of the money lent in a penal action; Delaware, loss,,of debt.; Vir¬ ginia, oontraot annulled and in . oriminal ac¬ tion double the money lent forfeited; North Carolina, contract voided and double the sum of money loaned forfeited; South Carolina, forfeiture of interest with costs; ¦ Georgia, Michigan, Miasiasippi, Wisconsin and Cali¬ fornia excess not recoverable,; Alabauia, all intereat lost; Looisiana, contract annulled.

On the contrary, there is always present more or less of superfiuoua mutter, sometimes tn large riuantlty. The"composition proposed by Odam & Hare's Patent Is my eslimatlos superior to that ot the hestOuauo0, or toaoyother artificial manure of whtoh I hava heard, and I think myself the more eatitied to give this positive opinion, from the unlooked for reaults of tha action of sulphuric acid on animal matter, which I obtained In experiment, hut vhlch were anticipated by the patent In quesllon,      •

. At the request of parties interested, I hava no hesita¬ tion In stating my opinion, that the mode of preparing artificial manure, by acting upon aQlm&l matters hy I sulphuric acid, as detailed In Dr. Hare's Patent, and mixing the resnlting anb-itance with animal, charcoal &nd phosphate of lime, la correct in theory.and although I have hP.d no opportunity of lealing the manure tbna formed practically, l bare no doubt thai a maoara formed by tha mixture of thene iDgrediantB, in proper proportions, would ba found at least to eonal In ita effects the hest Quauo.

This has been tbe result of its marked aaperlorily in quality, and lu invariable uniformity.
The pablic may be aspured of the continuance of the high standard aow establiahed.
"The prodactlon 1b over Twenty Tons daily, and tbe demaud has extended throughout the wholo ofthe United Staten, aud to foreign countrie.-).
Working thus ou a vory largo scale, and under a rigid system, ibey are ablo to secure a perfect unlfuroii- ty la tbe quality throngbont the year. Tbis Is the great Desideratum in Starch-making, and is realized noicforthcjirxt time.
The very heat Starch tbat c&n he made and ko ornBR, is always wanted by con-iumers, and Ihls will be aup¬ plied to tbem by the grocers as soon as their cuatomers have learned which iB the beat.and ask for it—other¬ wise tbey would be likely to get lhat article on which the largest profit can be made.
Mr. Kingaford h&a beeu engaged in the manufacture of Stturch continuously for the la^t 27 years and during the whole of the period, the Starch mada under bis hu- pervlslon hasbeen, heyond any qaestion, (be best In tbemarket.
