You must know I was in love with Slo Nettie Burns; and nearly two thirds of ' the inalc members of the commurity th< where I lived were in the same pleasant beli t predicament. Bat I had loved her as lik far iack as I could recollect- I think frons the time when I was seven and she 'Bu was three. And then, when we grew ti - older, aid went to school together, in ' the old red school house on Burton's entl L-ine, we always went together, I carrf- wh i:.g her books, and very proud of the :ur honor-I wa, I can assure you. But now that she was eighteen and I twenty- I Be: t,o, I begaxn to feel less easy in her pres- for Cnce, and generally was silent awhen she W: was by, proving, no doubt, a very unen- ver joyalble companion. But I could not help it. Though I out loved Nettie devotedly, I could not de clare my love. 1, Kent S-rrell, aged iou twenty-two, a strong, hearty man, able to do a day's work with any mat; in the country, and afraid of nothing visible ;r tio iibe b%j (Iec-ine a very coward in her presence. 'N But at last I had come to the resolu tion to declare my love in writing. So, yo With great difficulty, I had written a wa note. Only four or five lines it was; ma and] then the que.,tion was, how to de q liver it. d At last I fixed on a plan. Nettie and lip I % ei e going to Cuyler's Run, to a hou.m- yO warm-ing. We were going in my sleigh. th Now, I thought, when %e are retutrning, I ca have plenty of chances to s!ip the Be !ittle :mte into Nettie's hand, making her ha promi not to look at it until she reach. de; d ed h'GMe. That evening I called for Net at t tit-, and she did I.,ok so beautiful that I in 0could hardly refrain from falling down before her on the snow, and declaring Be my pas:ion then and there. But I didn't, A I because I was afraid! cal As we rode home togetLher, Nettie oft ibatted gaily, while- I was s1h:mt and sev grui-for I could not, try how I would, (miuster up courage to deliver that mo- he ie-iti,os epi,tle into Nttie's hands. in Gl >ser and nearer we approached to ye her house, and still I krpt .,ient ; and at m :t,t I drew up before the door and Nettie wh :dighted. so Suden ly my hand touched something Im:0 -oft and furry. nt I picked it up and looked at it. I: Sas Net tie's muff. I was only about a anl oudred yairds from the house', and I i was turnintg back to deliver the muff to e Nettie, when a brilliant thou'ht struck Wi myt stupid brain. mu I wmuld iiake the muff be my messen- of ger ! immediately carried out the an Ithought, andil itsertingi the little note into the inmost recesses of the muff, I drove fr< _back and knocked at thc door. an ' Net tie appeared in answer to zmy sum- stn mnons. ha 'You forgot your muff, Nettie,' said I, gr Ihanding it to her, and blushing gtuiltily, m;i umeanwhijle. c -'Thank y-ou, Mr. Sorrell,' said Nettie, fsweetly, 'you're very kind to take the mi trouble to comec back nith it. Good :, igh t !' - 'Good right !'said I, huskily, though joyjulily, for I saw her put both hanls at - in to the nuif, and I felt certain that she to had the nte. ha Thme next day I waitedaxosyfrn an nswr, ndnone caime-aid two at weeke passed and still no answer. I met Nettie, and she never made the least al- m lu st>i to the note. oAt last I could stind it no longer ; the mD 'Ccountry and all its belongings became fo disitastfu] to rue, and I made up my wi mind to go to the city to make my for .tune-or, rather only to drive the to - thoughits of Nettie out of my mind. or I .hiipped as a landsman on a brig thf bound to Ceylon, and then to-hut it isr s,useless to follow tmy life through ten o long weary years. At the end of that titie I hamd a noble ship of my own, and ' a very hanudsoime sum in bonds, and was -o(n the easy road to wealth. But there n<li was still a blank place in my heart that th ino wealth could cover. And thn gh I e hadd sailed under many foreign skies, andw Ld had seen bes,uties of every shade, from npure w hite to jet black, nothing could ef- * face the image of Nettie Burns from tmy heart, atnd-she didn't care any thing er aubout me!' At last I returned h ome. j My mother, of course, was rejoiced to see rme after so lng an absence. b-'Now, mother,' I s.aid, when she had '"done admiit ing rme, 'tnll mie every thing about every body I know.' a Thbis might have been quite a labor for" somec people--but my mother was fond of talnkinmg, andI was quite delighted w~ith thme part assigned to her, and for the ' nel(xt hour she talked incessantly. \ntd Mis~ Dlurns, mother,' I said, op -n::igthe subj-.ct in a hesitationg cerned. 'But I suppose she is mar I long ago?' Indeed she is not,' said my mother, ckly ; 'and I believe she never will, ugh she has had plenty of chances Lord knows! And they do say, it,' contitued my mother, reproach y, 'that you jilted her.' No auch thing !' said I, angrily. 'I love her, and I asked her to have And what did she say ?' a,ked mo r, anxiously. I wrote her a note, mother,' said I, vly, 'and she never an;wwred it.' And so she refused you ?' said n%> r, surprised. 'Well, I wu;dn't have eved it possitble. I was sure she -d you better than any one else.' Xo, tin, niother,' sail I, with a sigh. t don't talk about that any more, i o. r. llel-,! who is this young hly ?' i;is retal k was occasioned by the ranlce into the room of a youn.; la.ly ose age might have numbered eight imers.

'I adtpted ber, I was so lonely all alone here, arid Iter has seven children, and is not in y good circumstances,' Come here, little one,' said I, holding my hands.

Iwas nit listening Lio Be33, thliugh I trd what she said ; but, % ith my hanc the muff, my thoughts flew back ter Lrs to the itight when I put inlo th dffthat little note f,,r Nettie, and tt ich she returned no answer Suddenly nething rustled inside the mitf, and hand Cneouin1ter ed something in t If inside the lining. I drew it out tiechanically, opened it .1 read this: *A NETTIE:. I love you, anid want you to be my fe. Wilt you ? If you consent, sent an answer, either by letter or wort mnou th. If 'no'- well, if 'no,' din'1 swer this. KENr. It was my note, only now releasec in its long confinemet of ten years dl Nettie had never set eyes on it. In ad of puttitng the note in the muff I placed it inside the lininag: .\d o:t:ed inwardly as I thought of th mny years of sorrow that mistake hlat .Isedi me. 'What's the matter?' asked Bess, an. tiy.i, astonished at my silence. Nothing,' said I, recovering mnysell and me this muff, Bess, a miniute.' Be.ss, no doubt, was rather surprise< seeitng ite carry ing off her propierit this manner, aitd probably wonka ve entered a protest against it; but s out of hearing, and in ten tiniute; *s face to face with Nettie Burn.

I thought she rn'" sed yon ? WXell, that was another mist:ake c she never received, because I put it ill a muff.' And then I told her all about it. We are married now, but I have given up sea-faiin-, because my wife thinks it i; too dangerous, and having SOld my ship, I have settled down, and an now once more a farmer-and we still keep that mu!T. "Modern Improvements." Ti1Z TELEOCAl AS AN EUitAXD BOY. Electricity is to be reduced from its proud potition as a messenger between the continents to the humble uses of do mestic life. It i. to be made an ei rand boy toznswer every hoii.ehold call. A company has been formed in New York which proposes to establili otct s at convenient places, in various parts of that city and Brooklyn, whence mes sengers can be sent on demand to any house witi the respective dikricts These offiecs are to be connected by tele- i graph wiis with the houzes of such per sons as pay a certain amount monthly (two dollars and fifty cents) f*r the ben efits offered by the comp1ny. The oc cupaint of a houoe by touching a key will -simlply give 11tice at th office that a messenger is wanted. The offiees will be iinaerous, aol so distributed that any houNe can be reached by a negzen ..cr A ithin tlhre.: minutes after the notce. It will be the duty of the nessenger to go on any err:a(, reqaired f tiem, to an1y part of the city. the persons em pl'),ing them to pay the comp-mv ff teen cents for every half hur of service. The telegrapihic apparatus, con.isting only of wires and the sm-%l key instru Meat, will be placed in the houses or olices of the subscribers without charge. The batteries - ill he at the companyv oflices only. It will be seen at a glance that thi systen will bring many COri venl.vieces ; but :i,l its adovantages can not be apprecilted u11til it has become, as we think it i;vill, a ne-:essity of dooe.;tic life in all largu cities. There are thousands of littl services which persons in mode r.ite circuistanices would galdly pay for at the rates named, but they cannot afford, or do not desire to keep an errand boy or other male house-servant. Bui tie plan promises more than mere con venience ; it promises safety and comfort. It will -iffird security agaii4t hurglars at night, and a readv imreans of caling a phy %ician or a fr iend iii cases of illness. if burglars are in the lhou;e two touchesof the key wil! bring a polic-emn at any hour of the nigh:. IN cases of ire, too, tie systemI would be invaldle: many small fires become goat ones on accOunt of the on assited elf>rts of servants or mnember. of the faimilY to suppress them without a general1 alarm. Indeed, the more one considers the uses of the proposed sys. temf theC moore they multi ply themtrselvyes, and we confidently predict that withini a few years we shall be wondering how our ancestors got along w ithout it. Th'le name oif the new origanization is the "American D)istriet Telegraph Compnany." It has general offices at No. G2 Broad way and No. 185 Montague street, Brookl vn. One district in thre latter cnity will sooin lie ready for the first ex periment, and then branch oiUes will be opened rapidly at suitab'e poinats in both Cities. CaTasmnoP-E AT IIAKow-Loss or Ohn lIr.Nni: LinEs.-A sad accident occurred here last night, which proved -fa: to alarge inumber of lives. The scene of the ca tastropihe was the north bank or the Ilan river, about a quarter of a mile above its confluence with the Yangtse. A portion of the bank, close to a busy jetty, soddenly gave way about 8 o'clock in the evening. Four hmouses, which were parti.illy suspended on lang priles, all the inmnates of those housee, and part of the street running. parallel with the river, were barne along withi the earth into the waters be low. A number of boats, lying at an chor just at that spot, and underneath thre houses, were crushed and buried in a,n instant, leaving not a trace behind. MTultitudes of people have vi-ited thre pl.ace to-day, hut nothaing is to be seen there except moadfy pahwrid wva'er, a bare b,ank, a temple of the Kink Ya, pa tly overhuanging thre deep, irrd a inu:nher of 51,1 casO in g about as if nothing had hranpernd.

I don't know which is the most cu -ious study, the little world before or he other little world behind the scenes. Perhaps you think there is nothing in eresting in the conduct of an audience, md yet the man in the box-office of a heatre will tell you, if you get hold of im some time when he has a dull night, very curious story about the pleasure eekers. I was in the little clubby. louse at Wallack's not long ago with my 'rirnd Livingstone, and Mr. Moss pointed )ut to us the box oice museum. It was collection of u ticlhs picked up in the heatre after the awience had left it. \ow you will immediately guess what 0me of those articles were. Hair-pins, nd garters, and peni-ies, you know bound wherever men and women con 1regate, ind handkerchiefs are always Kitng iicedl up in churches and thea res. But the collection included night eCVs, gl rin, faro-checks, playing :ard-, false cm!s, reieeu'es, enrd cases, nd toth-pieks. We can even tinder tand how these things may be dropped cra'ionalB. tIit how are we to under tand the absence of mi;nd which covers he loss f fal%e teeth and indispensah'e inder clothing ? There is fline pair of iew patelt:,h; er h ttken off du 'ing the performatnce iecause thcy hlurt .he owncr's feet evidentlV. Bit it is in -omprehensibe that lie holi!d forget to >ut them on Mani and walk ont with Ahe crwd in hi-: stocking feet. There is t heautifil set of fdse teeth on a gold plate. Can it be that they fell to the !or unihreed during the open-monith :d womlertmient a:nd ab.,traction of the ;pectatours, or wre they, too, taken out frr comffort', sake and slippe I into the holds of a dre!-s instead of a pocket, an-l then left iehind whei the owner got ul.? A dogcoli:ir, to->, tby all that's odd, with "Fido" on its brass-!ate ; and a bottle oif "co'l cram," ami a paper (if brass headed tacks. But even tis should not astonishi us when we :is,:ertain that the lap-dogs th..-mselves are some timies left behind, and M:. Moss has to send out for milk and other de'ieavies and turn the b.Oloce itito a nursery until the wat ing-maid comes, as shie inevitably does the next day, with a warm blanket over her at in, and reclaims the darling with tears in her eyes. Then we have a safe key ! what a tin!e of carelessness, and reprimand, ami snzpiciin that tells; and a batik book, and Colt's revolver, with all the barrels loaded except one, and that one smoked and begritted. It is fanciful to suppose that some cunning miscreant whose victim was duly report. ed among the killed came i:h the crowd to the theatre to escape detection and left his instrument behind him. Wiy, there's a bunch of skeleton keys. Ho.v do we know that they were not left by the same person ? 15crr Re:MGox ?-Thiis v'inmne of two hundred and lifty- pages it has given us pleasure to receive. It is wvritten by the Rev. I. W. Memmingerr, oif the l)i ocese of South Carolina, who, thoughL a young man, exhibits both thought andi culture. Indeed ume know of few vol litmes, written by a :young clergyman, that shows more eenius than this. it is a protest ag-tinst the spirit of the age, whiich is ritualistic and rationalistic, and a plea for the reality of the spiritual ini a wor!d in which Giod reigns. Wie are glad to be able to c:ll attentio)n ton a book of such decided metrit ; and we hope it may prove only the beginnring orf other hooks from the same pet. ime and mature reflection n ill, no doubt, alter somte of the views here ire. sented with so much force. We would not d:re, ourselves, to stake the truith of Gmod's revealed weid. on an intertretationL whmich matkes the delupgZ m ni-.ers:'d ; or he world to hive beenL creLtedi ini ~.ve day's of tw-enty four hours ; or the surn literally' to stand still. It is nit rat ion. alism to interpret G;od's word by all f'4ts, n~ he'ther geographical, astronomi cal, or geological ; and the irterpreta. tions of Scripture, based upon the false astromnomy of our ancestors, ought to miake us cautious in our assertions of this kzind.

Tm-: A :'r oF Nor !::.umu.-The art of no't hecaring is foll y as important to dom,esti: happbiness5 as a cuiliva'ted ear, for which .so much ti-ne and nmoney are expLended. Somei people feel so very anxious to hear every thing that will v'ex and annoy them, they set aboumt seaLrch ig it out. If :m:l thLe petty thLi-'igs said of one by the hieedless or ill-natured ilers were to lbe brught hiome to himt, he wo!d becomne a~ mere walking pin-0 cu-hitn, a uck fi! of .sharp remi ks. it is not wvorth in bi.e to hea:r whlat your .servant. sir whIn they have slammined the~ dtor ;wh:at a beg"mr says whose pe ti:ion youi have rejectecd ; what your neighbors ny about your childhrenm ; what y'our rivl t"L ay;3 about your busie-- or dress. I have untic-ed that a w.2-br.*d MAK NO MAN FEE. is INEIZOITY. -Nothing is more insulting than to take pains to make a man feel a mor tifying inferiority in knowledge, rank, foitune, etc. In the first it is both ill- r bred and ill-natured, and in the two I Ltter articles it is unjust, they not be- I ing in his power. Good breeding anid ood nature incline us rather to raise cople up to ourselves than to mortify and depress them. Besides, it is making r ourselves so many friends, instead of so many enemies. A constant attention to please is a most necessary ingredient in the art of pleasing; it flatters the self. a love of those to whom it is shown ; it 1 engages and captivates more than things c of much greater importance. E% ery 1: man is, in iome measure, obliged to discharge the s(cial duties of life; but these atteitions are vo!int:ir3 acts, the free-will offerings of good breedi,.g and good nature ; they are received, remem. bered, and returned as such. Women, in particular, have a right to them; and. any oni.sion in that resiecet is down. QCFEER L.,TAKEs Tintorm C1.6sE Pl:. sE3sm.ANcEs.-A brief Ltiter from ])or chester, Massachusetts, to the BOw.to;n Advertiser, tells the foi!owilg: "There are in this town t,%o twin bro thers, whose reseniblance to each otlier is so strong that strang,rs can hardly tell then apart.

The.e brotbers and several oter t nen were in the hal-it of getting up ver- i early and going to swim in the 'Reser vtir Pond,' and once E'i going, as wa, his wont, to Nathan's house to call hIm, . by tapping on the pane, saw his own lace refleeted from the glass, atd taki-g it for his brother, called out 'Conie on; they're all waiting for you.' " A LirE SAMD.-Dun Pia:t tells the following story : "A Sunday School su pt!rintendent out in Alabka treatei his entire charge to a sleigh ride. There were just 41 of the cherubs and a six i horse sleigh. On the way home they were beset by a pack of ferocious wolves. Cool and collected in that hour of fear ful trial, the heroic superintendent saw at a gitnce that he must be. overtaken. in an instant his quick mind seized the only chiance of escape. Seiz;ng the child that al. ays sung "I wart to be an an ael !" two notes too high, he flung it at the rapaciotus horde. It stayed their on ward rush for a moment. Next came the little boy whlo nev-er brought any pen:nies to the heathen. And so on sweput the pursued and pursuers until the last infant was exhausted. But the brave fellow had economized his material nobly, and besides a whole Sunrday school slows off'a pack of wolves percep tibly. We have always noticed this. in another moment the sleigh dashed in to the village, and the grand, noble, true Ihearted mian knew he was saved !
