My parents treated mo as a petted and way- ; I ward child, Mr. Amsdcn indulged mens 1 , if I were a prince-.s, and my admirers es- , wyed to adore rao by oil the titles of j ' which a flattered heiress can command ( •the choice ; hot under tho look of those , earnest eyes I felt for tho first time that , I was n woman, with a woman's hcorl { nnd soul ; and I learned to admire and , appreciate, though I could not measure, ( tbe rare mind with which I hod come in contact, and to wonder more and more j that on iptelloct so commanding, a power of elftquonco so convincing, and a ! personal appearance snd influence so remarkable, nEhould be idly lavished by ' their poaaessor upon a course of lifo so onauited to display them, and so different from that they were meant to adorn.

I dcrstniid-yoj were bred a lawyer, nnd I j a>& sure you would make an excellent i one. Why do you n^t join your profession f" _/ ' I The old dark shade ssttlcd down i aghin, like a heavy eloadylris brilliant a', face — for a moment ho wis greati^ agitated, and saidL- \ ^ ".Miss Marsion, yon do not know ! what you are speaking of, or you would not have asked mo that question." j I was shocked 'and silent, and it was ' (> some time before I ventured to look up into his troubled countenance There « were tears in my eyes as they met bis, and his aiiger or grief was lost ut once in anxiety and penitence. > "Forgive me 1" ho said earnestly ; ' "and yet, lean hardly hopo yon will j » pardon my rudeness, Miss Lizzie, nnless 1 yon can fully understand its cause — and I that must be impossible. To your eyes, to the eyes of all, my lot seems such 0 ! , happy one, that no cxcase is left mo for I tho indulgence of a moody or ropiuing | sorrow. Yet I must feel It still. Tbe futqre lies bright before me — I have I path, health, prosperity, and happiness awaitiug mc, far, far beyond my pure desert; not one lonely adventurer, iu thousands, finds early or late, a haven , and a homo like this— a fortune I do not ( merit. Yet for the freedom they en- ] , joy, and I can never hare — for the j f price I pay — the precious privilege 1 1 I resign —I would give all that they ! ; could covet. I lose manhoud's prou- j dest task of self exertion, ray talents t rust in ignoble repose, my faculties tic- t | in sweet inaction ; others trample j the great baiilo-fivld, while I lie silpinc 0 I in the lap of Arcndinu luxury, and sick- t ! en of repose I hare not rnrutd. Miss ' t Marston, I am dying of slow fever ! f, this sweet nir stijles me, this peaceful wearies flic. I spent long ;| in preparation for a career iu tl which 1 dreamed of becoming honorable c and famous ; circumstances compelled ' |,

' me to rcsigu lids Jifo ; nothing can rt- ' place it; they took away from mc tlio ! 1 hope in which I struggled and suffered, ' the only one for which I lived— they • gave me, instead, kind parents, n beau- ' tifnl Lome, a liberal maintenance, and ^ other blessings I need not nnmo" lie ' bit bis lips — "with all this. I find myself 1 sinking into nn ungrateful apathy, from ' which you are the first and only' person 1 that has tried to nronse me, or has felt an instinctive sympathy with my 'vague disease.' " "I do pity you," said I gently, ."though you ought not to be nn ottji ct I of pity, with such sources of happiness x| ax yours. Why not forget those earlier dreams, and take 'the g*od tho gods provide you 1" "I will," said ho, *fllh peculiar oner- 1 I gy ; his eyes looked darkly into mino, and he held my hand firmly as ho lifted me from the carriage. I ran into tho houso, my heart bent- 1 and my cheeks burning with unns- 1 ual excitement. Surely it was a high i privilego to have read the secret of that j lofty mind, and a good thing to hnve t calmed that stormy son! ; bnl it wo3 with avagne sense of'gnllt, and some- j thing of redefined pity, that I mot' the I touch of Alice's rose-leaf lips. Yet, it must be somehow her fault, that sho could not make so noble a lover happy {- We fere very gay that evening, and instead of casting his gloomy shadow across our innocent pleasures, joined awd increased them; be sang dnets and trioa with ns in a magnificent : mellow voice, and I was conscious of taking mere pains than usual with my j part of tbo performance, and bei g ' excited and anxious to please, j Suspecting myself of vanity or coquetry ! for I could hardly now define the impui- . ■ee that actuated me, I set Alice to | teaching him the step of a new dance that 1 brought from the eity, while I i; played for them ; but he prqrcd a. bad j , pupil, « we were obiiged to confess, j tbo insisted on taking my place at 1 ~ t

1 ho piano, and sending me to be his it teacher. I went rather doubtfully, and >■ j took^Ws proffered hand ; it thrilled uuj der the touch of mine— bis Hark checks I I reddened with a glow iiko sunset, and c t sudden fire lit my own ; trembling and - • confused, I made an egregious failure 1 | of our brief "practice," and sat down, 1 t j astonished ol myself ; for once my gay j I - spirits hnd deserted m«, and I could not ; j rally them ; I was dumb and disenneer- ' i \ ted ; but my silence was scarcely re- ] 1 marked, for Farnham was in a most brilX liant mood— «bc was animated, cheerful , handsome, wiauiftgly kind and attentive, 1 more, as Alice said iu a whisper vi pri- | vate confidence tome, as we'wcnl up to i bed — as he had been beforo he went to ; j California, than she had known him since. I remember that I heard her in ! silence, ashamed of feeling a strange ! ; dissatisfccliou and petulance as she wcht j 1 on with her innocent praises of her lov- ! cr, nod augured happiness for both from ! 1 his reviving spirits — that I weut to bed ' ; witb my thick hair forgotten iu its and slept horribly upon it. __ [7-u i, r„.i, "A PEHHY F0S YOtJE THOtJOHTB."

Wc learn by last advices from England that • Seuor Guitierre/., minister of tho govI ernment or San Salvador at Ure Court I of St. James, has a contract through : his agent at I'aris, with sixty families re- ' moviug from tire continent to that State, J nnd has chartered a vessel te convey ' them from Havre to Aspiuwail The' government grants to each family 150 I acres of land, and hopo in this way to j • j increase their industrial resources, and ] ! thus add to their material prosperity. — I ' j There is a similar project on foot for a I ' I a colony in Uouduras ; and wo learn al- | so that in other localities in Central I America the same plan has been adopt- 1 •d. HATUSA1 inAIFERYr A new style of trimming for (rennets and heod-Jresst-s ha* been introdac*d into Eng. j land. It consists of the magnificent foliage 1 of onr aaiuuinol woods, the colors of wl^teh • 1 aro more varied, rich an beautiful than br- ! er jet developed by the dyer's art. No- 1 ! tuie is a wondsrfel chemist,- and tbo foil I tints of oar forest leaves are among the . j most glorious products of her .universal ; lsbratory. We have oltvn wondered that tbe scarlet, nnd crimson, and gold, that 1 ! glorify our sylvan scenery in October and November, were aot asad for ornamental : purposes. Nothing can bs more graceful I than tbe ebapes or leaves, nothing more | ! gorgeons than their contrasted autumn 1 ' lines. A light coot or colorless Varnish won!d preserve So lb, and there ere more I decorative porposes to which tbey mi;, -hi 1 j be ndvsntogeou.ly applied.. Probably it is t j becaore they are costless nod common, that ( | these "glories or decay" are so liltlu valued hero. - . i- ^

IlenJnck, in the 'Genesseo Farmer, thus decribe* a simple method practiced by him 0:1 ono occasion when ho wished to ox- . extract hedgehog quilL from tho animal's , bind foot.- The ox was first placed on smooth ground, and tho left, or near side, fore fool tied fust to tho leg above tbo knee. Then a ropo was tied aroand the , ancle of both tho off sido foot, and two , men standing on tho near sido, pulled gently on these ropes, ut tbe satno time cro«W- ■ ing egaiii-t his side. A men was stationed at the off side of tbo animals's nock, *to attond to bis bond while coming down. Tho j ox seeming to fear a full, readily droppod j pn his knees and down upon his sido. Th<* ropes were then hel l securely, nnd tho ' ' . ] quills easly extracted with a bullet-mould ; for nippers. I Tho sacrosslnl men in tho business world are not tbocc who merely labor hard with j their hands, but thoso wlio think and plan much.

Hasottine, gives in the Cnnn'try Genllemati. tbo result of a trial of cot nnd whole potatoes v i i phrated side by tide. Tbe whole potatoes 1 planted were ot largo size ; yield less than I the others, of inferior quality, and knotty appearance.
