replied the hapless lover im patiently.
-That being the ease," said Susy
"take my advice?wear them gracefully
and don't pull and jerk so, it only makes
?theui hurt you."
The young man turned away, and
Valkc: up and down the room, evidently
-trotting au^ faming internally. Susy,
?meantime, looked -out of the window and
.yawned. Churivs continued his moody
vralk. -
??Oh l what a beautiful bird is on the

His walk this time was longer thau
before, and his cogitations were more
earnest f for he did not-weed a-uy of Susy's
?artfully artless 'devices to allure his no
tice. At hut he stepped abruptly before
her, arcd said :
- "S?sy, for three long years without
either confessiou of lovew promise of
mjurittgo on your part." Often as I have
demanded to know your seavt-imouts to
wards me, you have always ooquett-bbly
refWeStf tM an answer. This state of

"Begin by tearing your false, worth

furiously.

'?If you are not, iu love now, you ucvcr
will be," returned C. sturdily ; "and I
will have my answer uow or never."
\ ''Never, then," lunched Susy. -BuV
she had gone a 8tcp too far. Her often
severely tried lover was now too much
in earnest to bear trifling any longer.
''Never be it. then I" ho criod; aud
aeiitng his hut he strode from the room.
: Susy listened to his reccediug" foot*
steps with dismay. Had she, indeed, by
hor incorrigible love coquetty, lost him ?
It smote hor to the soul to think so. An
she heard him open the front door, im
pelled by a feeling of despair, she raised
the window sash, aud, leaning forward,
'Charley. Charley I you will be at the
boat to-morrow to bid mo good bye,
won't you '( Surely we are still friends."
' Ab ahe spoke she tore a rose from her !
huso in and threw it to him. It lodged
on his arm, but bo brushed it away as
though i: bud been poison, and patwed
on without looking up.
Susy spent the remainder of the day
iu tears. Early the next day the bustle
of departure began. Susy was going to
accompany her widowed invalid mother
on a trip for her health. As they
reach ml the wharf und descended fromj
the carriage, Susy's eyes made them
selves busy searching for a wished-for
face ; but it was nowhere to bo seen.
The steamboat lay panting and puffing,
seemingly impatient to be let loose.
Susy's mother, aided by the servant man
who accompanied thorn had already
crossed the gangway which lay bet we n
the wharf aud the boat, aud Susy was
reluctantly following, wheu the sound ot
a voieu behind her?the very voice she ,
j hud hinged to hear?startled her. She
i turued to look ronnd, and missing her
footstep, fell into the water.
Another instant aud Charles hud
thrown off his coat, and calling out
loudly, "Toll the captain tint to allow the
ttheei tu stir, and to lower wo a rope '."
he sprung iuto the wutcr. Hut of her
whom.he wts^njklua bjsjySa to save. he.
waa unable to perceive any truce. j
Judging that the current of the river j
might have curried her a little furwaid. I
he swam around the wheel but still he
saw her not, mid despair aeiced his heart
as he conjectured that she might be un
' der the bout, lie strained his eyes to
! tee through the water, aud at length dis
cerned, far below the surface, what
seemed the cud of a floatiug garment
lodged between, the wheel and the round
ed bottom of the boat.
If this were indeed the case of the un
fortunate girl, the least movement of the
wheel must inevitably crush hor, aud
Charles, in his terror, faik-led it was
already beginning to turn.' He divod
and clutched at the garment, but
missed a. Ho rose panting and al
I most ok ha usted ; but scarcely waiting to
got 'brenttfc., fee again plunged below.
I Thh time his effort* were rewarded with
?enceoss, at least so far that he was able
to bring Susy's form to the surface of
the water ? but she seemed totally life
less. Charles was now so nearby ex
hausted that he had only sufficient pre*
nence of mind left to clasp Susy convul
sively to him whilo he kept himself
afloat by holding on to the wheel.
But this, bis lust hope of support,
seemed also to fail him, soou he per
ceived that it was really beginning to
turn slowly round. By a desperate ef
fort he struck bis foot against one of the
paddles so as to puA himself as far from
the danger ss possible. As bo did so,
something touched his head, and bis
hand grasped a rope. New life soomed
uow infused into him. He gathered all
his energies, and fastened the rope round
Susy's waist?consciousness entirely for
sook him. In the meantime the wit
nesses of the scene, after giving Charles'
instruction to the Captain, had watched
his struggles and exertions vith breath
less interest. The friendly rope had
boon flung to him again and again, but
in the excitement of hi* feelings, and his
send seraihility, he bud been iuoapable
of availing himsolf <of the proffered aid.
At last, .perceiving that ho was quite
exhausted, and must inevitably soon let
go his hoid on the wheel, sod tkeu prob
hly sink to *iso no more, the captain
judged it best to run the risk of moving
off, ao that a small boat could be ?*mt to
the rescue. The result of this hueard
ous experiment was successful. Susy
was raised by means of the rope, and a
boat reached 0. in time to rave him
also. ??*??** *? .ft
fiofh sufferers were taken or. 'board
ttht sfte&nrboat, wbieh now moved off to
make up for lost time.

oonsciousuees ho found himself many
uSilca from home. Of course his first?
anxious iuquiry w?s for Susy, and when
ioformcd that she was recovering, his
happiness seomed complete. He showed
his couteutnieut by falling into a deep
quiet sleep.
About sunset a message came to him
that Miss B- ilcairod to sec htm. He
found her lying ou a sofa iu the captain's
state-room, which had been given up to
her. She looked very pale, aud some
what Buffering, but she held out her
baud to him very gratefully, while the
tears stood in her eyes.
"Charles," said she, without offering a
word of thanks. I want to sec a clergy
man. Is there one on board ?"
"I will go and seo," said Charles,
moving to the door; but a drcndfnl
thought striking him, he turned, ex
claiming, "Susy, you do not think that
"That I am going to die ?" sai 1 she,
anticipating him. "No, Charles; but I
waut to see a clergyman."
Charles went, and soon returned, ac
companied by a minister.
"I tliunk you, sir, for comiug to me,"
said she to the bitter us he cstercd. "I
have a strange request to make of you.
Would you object, sir, in the presence,
sud with the consent of my mother, to
unite nie to that gentleman ?"
11 the minister was astonished at this
request, Charles was infinitely more so.
"What did yon s?y. Susy?" said he.
"Did I hear aright ?"
"I believe, so," said Susy, smiling at
his eager amazement. "Docs the scheme
meet yuGr approval ?"
"It was heaven-inspired," erieu tho
poor fellow, frantic with joy?but a shade
coming over his radiaut face, he udded,
gravely, "But, Susy, have you consider- (
ed ? Remember 1 w*nt your love, *iot
your gratitude. I will not be satisfied
with nothing lees."
"Do not be concerned about that. dear
Charles," replied Susy, gazing at him
very tenderly through her tears; "be as
sured you have them both, and had the
first long, long before the last."
"But, Susy, you said only yesterday

interrupted Susy, with some of her old

"I have aAways meant to be your wife?

Two SitAftr.?An ?rteeTTprising busi
ness man of this city rurrs"H.wo branches
of trade, to-wit: a grocery and a fish
market. The grocery he runs himself,
the fish market by a deputy, and every
night the latter makes returns of the
proceeds of tho day's business to the
propriotor.
A day or two since the grocer found
in his fish market returns a counterfeit
five dollar bill. He didn't liko to lose
it, and he didn't quite want to 'take tho
chances of trying to pass it. "So he call
ed an old darkey who was hanging about
the premises, nnd said to him :
"Sam, hero's a fivo dollar bill that's a
little doubtful. If you will tako it and
pass it, I'll give you a dollar out of the
change."
n
"Very well," said Sa?, and he took
the bill and went off. iotcr in the day
be returned, having ac-"nplisfred tlje
feat, and handed over four dollars in
good money to the groeer.
That night the grocer, in couuting
over the cash returns from his market
was more surprised- than delighted to
tinu no identical five in the pilo.
"Look hero," said he, sharply to his
market clerk, "here's a counterfeit bill?
who did you take it of ? Didn't you
know 'twas bad ?"
Clerk took it and looked si it for a
moment.
"Oh, yea'," said he, "I remember now;
I took it of Sam, the darkey. I thought
it was a little doubtful, and wasn't going
tie take it, but. he said he got <it tff you,
so I thonght it wsa all right,"

RdESPONMBJLITY. ? A young man iu
Virginia had become sadly intemperate.
He was a man of great capacity, fascina
tion, and power, but he had a passion
for brandy which nothing could control.
Often in his walks a friend remonstrated
with bin iu vain ; as often in turn would
he urge his lYiond* to take the social
glass. Ou one occasion tho latter ugreod
to yield to him. aud as they walked up
to the bar together, tho bar-keeper said :
' Oontlemon,'what will you have?"
"Wine, n\r."
The glasses were filled, and the friends
stood ready) to pledge each other in4 re
newed and eternal friendship, whon he
paused and said to his intcmpeiato
friend:
"Now if 1 drink this glas? and become
a drunkard, will you take the responsi
bility ?"
The drunkard looked at him with so
verity, aud said :
"Set down that glass '
It was set down and the two walkt.t:
away without saying a word.
Oh ! the drunkard kr.ows tho awful
consequences of the, first glass. Even in
his own madn.ess for liquor, he is not
willing U) assume tho responsibility of
another's becoming a druukard.
NY bat if the questiou were put to

Gnu..?A few nights ago, a lady, while
taking a pleasure walk with her infant
child along Jefferson street, lost a valu
able diamond ring from her finger in I
some unaccountable way. l>ili*g?n4**Mcb}
extensive search was made throughout
the neighborhood, but without^any clew
to the ring, and the lady gave it up as
gone "for good and all." Before day
light tho following morning the lady was"
surprised by the calls of her nurse, a
small negro girl. On being admitted to
her mistress, the girl, who had not beard
of the ring being lost, said she had just
had a dream, in which she was apprised
when, where aud how the jewel bad been
lost, and that if allowed she felt S ire she
could find it. She thou described the
plaee and man nor in which the ring
disappeared, and begged her mistress to
go with her and tost the dream. This
strange e'reumstance was made known
to the house hold, but all treated it with
the utmost incredulity. Tt was afterward
coucluded W humor the girl, however,
and she and several white members of
the family proceeded to the. designated
spot, more than 100 yards from the
house. Here the dreamer told her mis
tress that as directed in her dream, she
must drop another ring, and it would
roll as a guide tc the missing oun. A
plain gold ring was hauded the girl;she
let it fall, aud sure enough it rolled and
stopped within two inches of the lost
diamond ring, which had got into a
crevice between two bricks of the pave
ment. It may be imagined that the ring
huuters were somewhat astounded at the
miracle. They did not pause to inquire
whether or not the girl was influenced
by the anticipated eclipse, but she
obviously eclipsed all thu little niggers
they bad seen. Her own astonishment
was greater than that of all the rest.

The Dance.?What a strange thing
this dancing is. after all, when you look |
at it from a philosophical, or, if yon
please, unsophisticated point of view. |
The other day, Insulanus asked a lady
how it came to pass that the entrance
upon tho floor of the ball-room made
such a wonderful change in her usual
manners and habits. She asked him
what he meant, as she did not understand
He asked her. "Suppose I'introduced
you to a friend of mine, a stranger, and'
he would not only take your hand, but
put his arm around you, what would
you do?" You may imagine her look
and answer. What would she do? All
our lady readers know what they would
do, aud what the father, hu-band, or
brother of such a lady would do.?"But,'
said IoBulnnns, "as soon as you enter tho
room of the "hop' or ball, you permit a
stranger who is introduced to you at the
time, not only to take your hand, but to
put his arm around your waist, and to
sail around the room with you in the
giddy mates of the dance, and your
father, brother, and husband think it all
right !"

The fact that tho good lady is ouly some

a young man living iu the lower part of :
this County was taken sick about two
years'ago, aud tell into ? deep sleep,
from which be only awoke about two
weeks since. The first expression be
made use ofou mining to, was, "Is break
fast ready?" just as though be had been
ai>lccp but one night. A physician bad
been attending on him all tbe time, and
happened in just after he awoke. On
walking up to tbe bed. he called the pa
tient by name, remarking that "Yon
must f e'. better, as your checks have
more color ;" tb which he replied, by
asking, "Who are you?" On Wagd
informed that he was. a physieian who
had been attending hi in constantly for
two years, be could hardly believe his
senses During . bis sleep ho was fed
regularly with spoon victuals, as though
be was conscious: lie is now up, enjoy
ing good health, and busily engaged iu ?
trying to get tho events of the last two
years posted up iu his mind, that he may
unite them with the past and present.
He has a distinct recollection of every
thing- up to tho time of his going to
sleep. We have heard no explanation
