An idle, extravagant, imprudent young dog 1" " Trnc enough, and the new one won't be any better. Drinking, gambling, late hourst and fast horses --that's the wny with 'em all." And Smith groaned.? Jenkins' eye twinkled. lie well know the peculiarities of his fjood hearted but eccentric bachc-< or partner. 44 Well, the new clerk don't drink nor gamble. I'm certain of that, and has thus far been very industrious and attentive." "Thus far 1 O, yea. Wait a month. Now brooms sweep clean." 44 Oh, well, if the new^ clerk don't suit }*on, yon can send the new clerk adrift, that's nil. I only took her?ah'in 1 the new clerk on trial." Mr. Smith stared at his partner. 141 supp' so the new clerk has n name?" ho remarked, dryly. 44 Oh, yes. Ilor, that is to say, the new e'erk's name is Gardner. But. here we are.'-' As was his usual custom. Mr. Smith went through tho store, pasting the array of clerks on either side of the counter, without glancing to the right or left. But when ho roAched his private office, at the further end, ho looked through tho glass door, which wns so situated that he could see all that was going on in the store. llis eye fell on tho occupant of ft .tfslc t lift HiVII* lift Ofni>?oit ? joo ere not shited, all yon re arot to do it to toll her ?o.M ^ "Toured her.'1 : <"V 44 What's that!" he said, turning sharply upon his partner, who had /olh.wed him. Jenkins gnzcd very composedly upon tho slender form, whose graceful head was bent intently over a ledger that lay open ujwn the desk. "That! Why that's the new clerk." Smith rubbed his eyes and look cd again. "Why, it's a woman 1" he exclaimed, with an air of incredulity ,nnd horror. 441 should say It was," said Jenkins, coolly, 44 and a confounded pretty one at that." Smith gave his partner a look of virtuous indignation. 44 Mr. Jenkins, this is no place for a woman." "Think not? Now it strikes me that she suits tho place very neatlv." 44 Tho proper place for a woman is in the sanctuary of home." This was a pet observation of Mr. Smith's which he hal read somewhere, and which he considered as a clincher in such an argument. 44 But suppose she hasn't any ?*' That was a poser, and, in his efforts to surmount it, Mr. Smith got cxcitod. 44 Hasn't any ! Why, sir, aho mint?sho ought to have one." it yCyy true. In fact so confi dent am I on that point, that I ha vo some thoughts of offering you mine? or, at least, to share it with her." 44 Mr. Jenkins, this is not a tit subject for jest." 44 It's a aorions matter, I know ; so, on the whole perhaps I'd bettor think it over awhile longor.? Besides, there's no knowing if alio would accept my offer together with the encumbrance that goes with it." 44 Jonkins," returned Smith, severely, 14 will yon cease trifling ar.d attend to the business in hand ? This woman must go." ."Very well; youMold me you wanted a clerk that would be faithful and industrious: that didn't spfend his salary, and all he could steal, on fast horses and faster woman ; and 1 got yon one. It's an easy matter to send ber off.'4 44 Of conree it is," rejoined Smith, brightening at the suggestion. 44 Just tell her she don^ ex actly snit, and that we shan't need her after to-day." flk. 46 Bat she does snit?me and if ?..,.v> !> < > iuij i vunuii jl ; won't discharge her without some , good canse." 44 No matter." returned Smith, with an air of lofty indiffercnco.? ' 441 can discharge her. I think I am equal to that mnch." i Jottkins, who had left the room, put his head hack a moment'later. I 44 Bot you a hundred dollars you don't do it. With this parting shot he disappeared. Now Smith had a nervous lior-, ror of women, as his partner >yell knew?especially of young women ?and never spoke to one if he could help it. llad it been a man he would know what to say, and experienced no difficulty in saying it, hut a woman was qnito another thing. But his partner's last words had touched his pride, and summoning all his resolutions, he opened the door and walk out. But his courago failed him as ho came opposite tFjo desk where she 6at, and he passed by, glancing sideways at tho unconscious occupant, who did not lift her head at his approach. Alter speaking to ft elcr]i at the further end of tho room, he walked slowly back to where the young lady sat, and who as lie paused by tho desk, raised a pair ot soft blue eyes shooting a 6wift bewildering glance in Smith's that he felt to the toes of bis boots. 41 Miss?Miss"?bo stammered. 44 My name is Georgiana," said tho young lady, smiling. " Some call mo George, for short." 44 Well, Miss George?Georgiana, I'm afraid that von will find your situation unpleasant." 44 Not at all, sir. On the contrary, I find it very pleasant and comfortable." 44 AJ?ein, but I fear that yon will be hardly equal to the discharge of its duties." * "I hope not. If yoif %ill rnn ^*our eyes over the balance sheot, you will find everything correct." With desperate hope that there would be something amiss, Smith did so. but was disappointed. 441 hopo you have no fault to find ?" said the clerk, rather anxiously, on perceiving that he hesitated. 44 You are a woman." There, whether abashed by the sudden display of dimples in the pink checks, that grew still more pink at his rather unnecessary as eertion, Smith came to an abrupt pause. At this the smiling faco sottlod into an expression of demure gravity. 441 must plead guilty to the charge of being a woman. Hut though it may bo misfortune, it can scarcely be called a fault; at an}' rate, it is o* e for which I am not answerable 1" 44 You understand mc, ma'am. What I meant to say was, that there aro certain duties connected with your olllce, such as opening tli? store, going to the post office, etc., which you cannot vory well perform." 441 nssuro yon, sir, that I shall j like nothimr liAttio* thn.ii mi nnfn. I e? siomit walk in tlio open air- And as to opening the store, and sweeping and dusting, I don't know that it should bo harder to per toriri that ofiice for a store than for a house." "I claim no consideration for my f?ex," resumed the young lady, casting a slightly reproachful glance at the perplexed countenance of her employer, " but I ask in common justice, if I perform tny duties satisfactorily, that you will not Uisoharge mo simply because I aw a woman." Mnttering a disclaimer of some kind, ho hardly know what, Smith boat a sudden retreat to bis own room, assuming a bold look as lie met his partner's inquiring eye, but with an inward consciousness that he had been totally routed by the enemy. "Going?" said Jenkins, with provoking noti chalanccr. " WttH nA h* /!? ? \\7!.?t %" ) MV, civ/v IV unj, tv Hill the d?1 aro you grinning at ?" 44 O, nothing?nothing at all," responded Jonkins, throwing himself back in his c air, and regard ing intently a fly upon the ceiling. 41 What I was going to remark was," resumed Smith with quite an' unnecessary assumption of dignity 44that ] have concluded to let the yonng lady remain until I can find some situation for her more in accordance with her sex." 44 Vor>*kind and considerate in yon." said Jenkins, dryly, 44 especially taking into view that she does lier work better than any clerk we over had, and for Jess pay, too." Smith was by no means tbo ogre he seemed. Aside from his prejudice, ho was a sensible, kindhearted man. Gcorgiana was not i cauea upon to opon tbe store or run errands, though she offered to do both. Curious to relate, as days and weeks passed, Smith's repugnance to her presence not only vanished with them but he began to regard it as a positive pleasure. lie used often to look through the glass door, watching the graceful poise of the head and the motions of the deft little fingers as they glided over the paper, , until at last curious fancies seonio ed to creep through his brain, and ho began to indulge in glowing dreams of how wonderfully such a little woman as that would brighten upon his lonely and cheerless home. But ho determined to proceed cautiously. lie had it. Ilis houses keeper was about to leave, he would offer Miss Gardner the 6it 1 nation? and thon I Having funned this resolution, lua next step was to request the young lady's presence in his private oflice, a summons that was promptly obeyed. " Miss Gardner, don't yon think the situation of housekeeping in a quiet home, like mine for instance, ! would be preferable to your situation here ?" " Perhaps, in some respects it might," said Georgians, coloring at this abrupt inquiry, and the look that accompanied it. Was the old gentleman about to make her an offer ? Hut his next word relieved her of this apprehension. M Aly housekeeper is soon to leave me, and I should bo very glad to hftvo you supply her place." Georgiana's cheeks grew rod, and her month dimpled with smiles that she strove vainly to suppress. * You are very kind, sir, but the fact ig, Mr. Jenkins has spoken to me first." 44 Mr. Jenkins ?" M Yce, sir. lie asked me to bo \ liis housekeeper, and 1 told him that I would." * 44 lint, my child, Mr. Jenkins is a young man?it would not he proper for you to keep house for liiin. Now with me* it is different." As Georgiana inwardly agreed [ with liiin, in fact, there was all difference in tho world to her. ' 44 lint he asked mo to he his wife as well as housekeeper." 44 O o-o-h I" Smith's first feeling was that of instensc astonishment, his next, of quite as strong chagrin, llut it all ended in an emotion of thankfulness that he had not committed himself. But his disappointment could not have rankled very deeply, for he attended tho wedding; viewing with smiling tranquiltiy, the ceremony that transformed his* new clerk into tho happy wife of his 'fortunato partner, Jenkins.

"Well, go and make some; I won't eat roast gooso without apple sauoo.' H When the woman had left the room to prepare (hi* deliacy, Edwards was so impressed by tho scene he had witnessed that, for the fir t time in his life, he began to think what a fool be had been. " ' Here's this man,' said he to him self, ' can't eat bie dinner of roast goose without apple sauce, while my poor wife and children at home are glad to get a herring for their dinner*, and often can't have even that.

A dispatch ln*t night from our correspondent " Morgan," in Jacksonville, announces tfcat a suit, in volving probably nearly a million of dollars, was commenced yesterday in the Morgan county Circuit court, by Rebecca \V. Vail, Wil liain II. Carson, Nancy Roe, Mary Baker and eight others, against Kit ty Flynn, Thomas M. Carson, Thomas Roe and fourteon othres. The bill alleges that on a day too remote to be mentioned with certainty, but about one hundred years ago, ono William Roe, of the State of Virginia, became pos scsscd by discovery of a certain gem or precious stone, remarkable tor its hardness and brilliancy, and so far as has been tested, its characteristics are those of a diamond of the first water; that this precious stone is oval in shape, and about, one and a half inc tea in diameter the other way, and that it is of great value, viz., ?300,000 ; that said stone is now in the hands of Thomas M. Carson, of Jacksonville. The plantiffs in this great suit pray that the defendants J bo compelled to bring inp) court the pne'rons stone, and that a receiver be appointed by the court to sell said diamond and distrib? uto tho proceds among the heirs. Mr. Thomas M. Carson, of this city, a plastorer and bricklayar, is heir to one-sixth part, of this diamond of a-leged almost fabulous val nc. * The character and immense valuo of this precious stono, as we are informed, was but recently known, although it has been in possession of William Roe and iieira for over a hundred years.? If a decree of the court bo obtained according to tho prayer of the plantifl's in tho case, that a rcceiv er be appointed to take char go of the stone and and sell it, doubtless lit) actual value will then l>e ascertained. If it really be a diamond of the first water, as all tests heretofore applied indicate, it will probably find .a purchaser among tho crowned heads of Europo.? Isaac J.

In going through the parish pris on a lew days since, the attention of the reporter was attracted to a young girl, apparently not more tlmn fifteen Jearsot age. She had fair nut brown hair, and a complexion fresh and white as milk. The mild blue eyes were singular* ly soft nnd intelligent, and her whole appearance indicated the free, joyous characteristics of youth nnd happiness. Yet this ntninblo looking creature, this fair, delicate Minerva, of slender form and injetinous face, is said to be a devil incarnate. She was not a prisoner, only a visitor to tho institution, and when tho reporter saw her she was conversing with a noted burglar ; indeed she snvs she is a cousin of Pete Monday's, and g<?03 tinder tho sobriquet of Lily. She is almost as fair and delicate as one. Her career is a remarkable sot ies of adventures and hair-breadth escapes. About a year ago she lived in San Antonio, Texas, nnd for some real or fancied misconduct reooivod a severe castigation at the hands of tho man with whom she was living. Burning with resentment, nnd conscious of her inability to cope with liitn in physical strength, 6he waited until the next night, when lie was aslccj\, and then locking the doors of the roCtn and closing every avcnuo of escape, she prepared for a work of horror almost i in possible to conceive. On one pretext or another 6ho sent all the in mates of the houso aw a}*, and procuring paper and other inflammable material, built a funeral pyre around the bed of tho sleeping man. This done, t?he set fire to it, and locking the door behind her fled from the house. The man woke up when tho houso was full of flames, and in escaping from tho room was literally roastod. One side of his body was burned almost to a cinder. lie has never recovered from I.is injuries, and is to day a fltopeless invalid, suffering excruciating torture and continual an ^Lish. His generosity?perhaps, sense of atonement?prevented his prosecuting tho girl, and she made her escape to New Orleans.

Names of PaperPrinters are sometimes asked why various kinds ot paper obtained the peculiar names they bear. Ilcre is the reason: In ancient times, when comparatively tew people could read, pictures of every kind were much in use where writing would now be employed. Every shop, lor instance, had its sign, as well as every public house; and those signs, were not then, as they often are now, only painted upon a board, but were invariably actual models of the thing which tho sign ox pressed?as ^'o still oc- ] casionally sec some such sign as a beehive, a tea canister, or a doll, and tho hke. For the same reason,'printors employ some device. which they put upr.n the title page and at tho ond of their bo.ks.? Ami papormalcoru also introduced marks by way of distinguishing the paper of their manufacture from that of others ; which marks becoming common, naturally gave their names to different sorts of paper. A favorite paper mark botweon 1540 and 15G0 was a jug or pot, ami would appear to have originated the term " pot paper." Tho foolscap was a later device. ai*J does not appear to havo been nearly of such long continuance as the former. It has given place to the figure of Britannia, or that of a lion rampant supporting iho cap of liberty on a pole. The name, however; has continued, and we still denominate paper of a particular size by the title of44 foolsqac," " Bust " paper seems to hav?tdjpj. rived its namo from the p st hOr'fi, which at one time was its distin guisbing mark. It doc9 not np pear to nave been used prior to the establishment of the General Postoffice (1670.) when it becamo a custom to blow a horn ; to which circumstance, no doubt, wc may attribnto its introduction.

When the Ctiry sisters ma<le tiieir first pilgrimage to the East ern literary Mecca, Ilufus Wilmot Griswold was among their earliest acquaintances. This gentleman was a prominent litterateur when the men ol'letters were less numerous in New York than at present. He was horn in Benson, Vermont, ISMS, and was consequently but about live years the senior of tho eldest sister.

No one was better ac: quainted with the state of the literary market, or with the publishers of the metropolis, than Mr. Gr is wold. The two rural devotees of literature from the Far West were strangers, and needed a cbaperone. lie came to the rescue. lie gave them space in his hooks, flattered them, encouraged their hopes, and assisted in finding a market for their wares. Toward Alice ho more especially inclined. Their fiist acquaintance ripened into friendship, friendship into intimacy, and intimacy into love. It was said at last that the parties were solemnly af flanccd. This was nearly twenty years ago, and Alico then had passed thirty. He was still older, and would seem to have pnsscd the bounds of juvenile folly, it tboec bounds arc ever passed by man.? But he* was a "blase citizen of the world, and she was quiet, retired, sensitive, domestic and unassuming.

The story needs not to be fully detailed here.

She came again to the bedside of the man who had so grievously deceived her, and I watched with him dav after dav. I and week after week, as life slow ly ebbed away. The sick room was mado cheerful with hooks, flowers, and all necessary comforts, and to defray necessary expenses the money earnsd by days and nights of labor with the pen was freely lavished.
