fICH TO CHOOSE. e 1rs. Chimpion, a rich widow, of only thty sutianuef., Inad hl the full bloom of her. heauty, was a the mnitrimnoniai tuiarket elbsely lesiged by three suitors, all of thim good looidn, all gentlemen, and all yrofessiuninded and disinterested ffee ti1.or'ihe fairI:ely. -Capt .Truvainien had been a Daidry oIllieer,. it ht he had retir 't'tiom, the service. ile 'was tallalishing figure, with- very a' istnratic manners, anid like Ned Pepper, Paul Clilro:d's Wr iend, sessed an " unkin:non lino head ,of hair." Itideed it was rumortd t-hat his ambrosiad C1.111.4 were-nmt ii.ttre's gift. IS' ii nd, th0 - favored. imlivhdsril, p)reeredl i gle bI the itert nedi: nia of a vertain J.ui-n L Sit ftililv lucre. The captaiu .ha'd ieilrited a lare'e fortune. Suitor No. 9 was a foung man about tuwn, very fashionmble, p'sh3 ed and plehsa H contrived to keep dut of debt, but his finan ial resources were id to be very limited. Mr. Claude Careless -evi-lt tly had a good prospct of success. The. tiaird Suitor, Mr. ;ttanley Nolreton, was an tart-studefnt and also cultivated poe try. Though very modest and unaffected he was slightly eccentrio in the matter of costume-woae a hat, and black velvet coat, .and during the Kossuth excitement had se rious thought :of completing his equipment by a feather-hut his hetter genius saved him from this-. solecism. As he wats quite sensitive and timid, had an awkward habit ol llushing, and was silent in company, the Captain and Ca. 1 -is made light of his rivalship and con'sideed tlhe cointest as con fided to themselves. The Captain proposed after the most zap proved taste of fashion. dropping gracefully :i one knee. and pressing the lips that mur inured his vows to the fair hand he solicited as his guerdon. - When he retired, Claude paid his devoirs, and made his proposals with great earnest. - uess. His profesisims of disinterestedness were no less emphatic than the Captain's. 'he painter camtle next. When alone with ti e lady of his love he found a voice which failed him in the presence of others. To each of the &uitors she gave the same reply-namely. that sbe wvould return a defl nite answer to' his suit, exactlv three weeks from the date of his proposal, reqiring him in (lie interval, to refrain fron cAlling or in quiring about her, and to absent himself from the city. The -comimands of a rich .beauty are imperaiive. Each wooer prom ised knightly obed enice, and kej t his pladge. The Captain ran down to NCle t ; tlaude went to Saratoga, aad Standley cri itd I shetch book up to the White Mounainils. The- widow shut herself up for three weeks. Ai the-expiration of that time, punctual to the appointed day, hour and minute, the elegant Captain entered Mrs. Champion's drawing room, and soveyed himself from bead to foot in the Versailles Mirror, and with a smile of satisfaction.. He * was engaged in self-.admiration, when a light step recalled hiam to sense of propriety. . He turned and beheld the widow, but a thick veil covered her face. Hie drew a. chaic to her side and addressed her. 7 " Deazest Isabella," said he, in hisrnost per suasivertonest " allyv.wme to remove the en ' ions fei ivhiaishiouds charms thait were never meant6 lioloiadealed." :Alas, Captain," 'said ~ihe widoiv, wil a tremulous voice, and drawinmg lahs' viel yet closer, " those cbarms-existlao. longer." " la[ it possible!V' cried the Captain in a $one of alarm. " What do you mrean I" "Since I saw you I have beeni very sick. WVhen I was a chaild, .my parents neglected to have me vaccinated, and the ravages of -the small pox-" ". The small pox I" cried the Captain, push. ing his chair back to the other side of the room. "Don't be afraid, Captain," said the Wid ow. " It is all over-and I am a dreadful object to behold-but of course .that makes .no difference in -your affections." " Herm!" criedl the Captain. "fit would make no difference if I wanted to retire with you into the country, to live like Darbay and Joan. But to go into society -.to intro duco as my wife at halls and sorei, a per son disfigured b'y a dredful disordler;' ( Lord, ma'am, the idea never entered nmy h ead!" " I release you from your engagement you are free," said the w idowv.. " I have no doubt, mami," said the Cap. taina, greatly relieved, " that you will find individuals not exact!y in my situation, wh~o wilI be-will be very happy to--ia short, ma'am, I wishi you a very good <jy." " Cold-hearted, vain egotist !" saeid the widow, when he had left: " I rightly gua;. ed your character. You only n ikhed for a handsome wvife to enhance your consequence, and parade in societyr as you show off your handsome horse ini the street. -Let us see d whether my thoughts have w-onged Mr. Ca'rless." To Careless shet old the same story. The young gentleman beard of the loss of h.'r beauty with great nonchalanec." " But this is not all," said Mrs. Chlamnpion. * " My business man has just been with me all the morning. My investments were most unfortunate. I am completely beeggared?' " How unfortunate," cried Careless, " for Iam in the same predicament. I don't see my way through this qnarter. Now it is very evident that it would he the height of folly foi- two persons without any mincome or prospect to marry enly to multiply mnise ry. - I must beg you to consider mny propo sal of last month as onaly conditional. Doubt. less there are rash unprincipled men who would in my case think only of sentiment, but I am too good a moralist, and too good .a citizen to think of persevering now. Fare wecll madlame! farewell forever! I leave -ou with despair in my heart and majaness in my brain" Probablyj zo declaration of despair was ever uttered in a cooler tone-and so thought thie widow. m Ho ~e:.eved mefor my money, as I thought," she said.- " I begia to believe that -all -the men are alike. If Stanley prove equailly heartless, -I shcall renounce-the per. fidious sex." The young artist heard the loss of his lady's beauty calnily. - - "It is a misfortune."' jaid he. " Beauty asaglorious gift, but perishable-the true hoaittfand muind alone rentain unchaiiged till death. - - -' 'But lIam poor, Staailey," said the widow. "You give me newv life, Isabell-a !" cried the painter " Tjie world cannot say now - thatnny'mer'eenary mpt'ies tainted .tke pure Sforh~ Avith 'dhleh . I regar ded you. Tlrust muiyb shall never want while I fiave brain e i~md to work- for you."

I Freed from the. veils her dazzling beauty beamed on the paitinter in undimmed.radiance, and her hand thrilled to his touch. Need we say that they were hspjpy.? BROTHER CR:AWFOR1& FAREWELL SERliON. REPORTED BY BILL E.ASKEL. During my soj')urn in lMississippi (shIotly alter I heard the gient serinon that was phay. ed on a harp of a thousand s:rings) I had ccasion ~ to visit a . ied in 11ie neigihor. nnlof Fortt G*6bao41-. T1.e mt-xt (1:1y h)Ain 11bb ih, I accompnied him 1-1 Zion Chale1l. A iu-w n.inister had been called to that neigh-. bolrihtod, aud this was to be.his .alutatr'y Zion Chap,.l was some huindred yards away ;omii tw rai'hd, and surrouniled by forest trees. llaviuag arrived rather tno ealy for service, yivself and triend s-tuntered about the woods, rather actively employed in brushing away the mosquitoes that sur rounded us. At length a strange specimen of the genius home made his appearance on horseback ; it was brother Crawford. - His dress was decidedly peculiar. On his heId he wore an old fashioned bell-crown ed heaver, several sizes toolage. . To reme dy this defect a cotton band a handker. chief was stuffed between the hat and fore had. His coat was of a noet ancient pat ern; blue, with brass buttons, short waist, and long swallow. The collar came within an inch of hiding the back part of his head. flis-vest was extremely long, and his pants ditto short. The latter wete held down by leather staps passed under a Ije pair. of brogans of an untanned leather coloe. Al together, his presence strongly suggested D in Marble in his Yankee character of Jona than Homespun. But to the sermon-or at least a portion of it, For it was utterly imt possible to report the w hole. The congregation was large, as it had beeni " narated" abroad that a new servant of the Lord was about to make his debut at Zion. Brother C-awford slunk into the pulpit with more that ordinary humility, and after devotig : few minutes to silent prayer, lie rose. Gingerly pushing up the sleeves of his store coat, whereby lie displayed a pair of large, long, bony hands of a beet-red color, he grasped an earthern pitcher, and- poured into a tin cup a dranght of water which he dratak with inimitable gusto. His appearitce in the pinipit was- study for an artist. His face was long and lank, eye- pale grey, nose aquiline, consplexion s mdy, hair greyisi sandy, head bald on the to), w% lit the exception of a small. patch ! dn organ of reverence, as if to shade it, and altogether the picture of (Greely whilt indi:iwg a Freesoil Abolition docnemient for the hentefit of his Southern subseribers. He began apologetically as follows; You don't sea me to.day in the dress I aller %%qnr; I come among you as a stran ger, aidI am now tricked out in my store cloths. I am not a piroud mani, but I thought i it would be more becoming before strangrers. After this lhe raiised a hymn in which the congregation~ joined. He then began his sermon: " My dear brethren and sisters; first and foremost 1'm now gwine (o tell you about thie affecting partini' I had with miy congre gattia n at. bethe[ Chapel... Arter I. had got thiaugh withipiy ftarewell sermont,is [cehie down outen the pulpit, the old grey-hteaded brethren and sis irwho haid listened to iny v ~voice for tiity years crowded around nn-,~ and with sobbing voices andm tearful eyes, sa ia,-Fa rewell; brother; Crafford !

The lijtle children, lambs in the field, lifted up their tiny. hands and small voices, and with one accord -said, Farewell brother Craff'ordl! Thle colored brethren of the congregation now cenme forward-h~ck sheep who bad been admitted to the fold under my miniis try---wIth tears rnnning down their sable cheeks, they, too, said, Farewell brother Crafford!. ' . As I got oni my horse and bade adne to my conigrega:ioin krever, I turned to take a last'loo~k at the old church where I hadc preached the unsearchable riches of Ch: ist for mor'n twenty years ; andl as I gazed at its dilapidated walls and mn.s- covered roofr. it too seemied to say, Farewell brother Craf ford! As I rode down through the viilage, the people who poked their heads outen the winders, andm the se'rvanits who leant on their broom all's seemed to say, Farewell brother Craff'ord! As I passed'along down the highway,: thro' the forest, the w id, as it uihistled thirouigh thie tree toips, playing on the leaves and branches, the bur den of salvation, it, too, seemed to say-Farewell brother Craf-~ ford! Crossing a lit tle creek that was gurgling and singing oveir its pebmly bed, aus it rejoiced on its way to the great ocean of eternity, it too seemned to say, Farewell brother Craf ford! As I rode along down a hot, (lusty lane, an' old sow that wsas asleep in a fenice cor ner, jumped out of a suddent, with a loud broo.oo,oo-she too, seemed to say, Fare well, brother Craff'ord ! My horse, lie got frightened aind jumped from under mie, and as be curled his tail over his hack, kicked up his heels, and ran'oa'T,' he, too, seemed to saiy, Farewell brother Crafford!1 'H EADS UP!'-A tall, rawv.honed recruit was put on drill by a little cock-sparrow of' I an officer; as every order tas given to him le would look down to see his commander, and wias as ofteni admonished to bold up his head. Repeated admonitions of this kind at length had the effect to induce the recruit to raise his head, at least to a level with the setting sjm, and the officer ordered him to keep it'there, 'What, alway's ' was the inquiry. * Ys; always !' was the stern reply. *'Then good bye leftenant ;I shall never see!youL, again.'K VERY FRExcH.--A Frenich paper relateS that, at a ball hitely giveni at Port Louis, near Lorrent, wihile a younag hady was waltz. lg, she felt the haind by which she was supported becomie stone cold, and ont look. r inginto the faice of her partner founid hisI features to b~e deadly pale and horribly con tracted.

There ap.pears no doubt of Walker's'retreat: rom Rivas, after a heavy loss, both on his prt and that of the Costa Hlicanis. The T latest inteligence informs us that Walker was in Virgin Bay with 700 men, about to invade Coista Riea; that lie had 20(.men in Granada aid 600 elsewhere, th:it his force ios hited altogether of 1,000 foreigners and a 500 natives; and that 0u im to the dLerivait'ionls they were nintermging there was A great deal of dissatidaLcti amongiti his trrps.
