"Who is tliat beautiful girl to whom
you bowed so familiarly?" said Jinimie
Earle to William Greenwood, as they
proceeded down the steps of the City
Hotel.
"That is Kate Lee, your cousin and
ininc, Jimmie," said Willie j "really you
must have left your memory among the
beauties of 'Paris,' if you ounnot recog
nise your nearest ol kin."
"You forget William, that it is nearly
ten years since I last beheld Kalo, she
was then a lively little hoyden, of sevc
ral years old ; the laprnj of ton years
makes a wondrous difforenco in a lady,
whatever, it may d> with a gentleman
"Nay, if you begin to discuss time's
changes, Jimmie, I must confess; you
can't congratulate yourself upon having
escaped a touch of his lingers. Who, in
that bronzed complexion and hirsute
rh-uge, could discover auy traces of the
jmootlrchceckcd boy, whom I saw on the
deck of a French packet ship, some ten
yours ago. Hut tell mo why you didu'
write that you were coming home. Because
I didn't know my owu mind, Willie; I
really wasn't certain about it until I had
been a week at .sea. The odd prouuueia
tiou of my German valet having caused my
uauic to be placed on the list of passen
gers, as'Mr. Arle,' it. occurred tome
that the mistake would enable meto return
incognito, and I thought I would humor
the joke, il but to see how many of luy
old friends would recognise me. I ar
rived here late last t veiling, und fcliould
now be a perfect stranger in my native
city, had I not accidentally met you this
inoruiug : and even you, Willie, didn't at
? . . Jll_?- -???'
VMrToow me.
"Know you, Charlie! who the deuce
could oven fee you behind that immense
growth of brushwood upon your lip aud
cheek ! Do you really mean to wear tho.**'
enormous whiskers and moustaches'{"
'"Certainly not longer than suit** 1113 pre
sent purposes, W illie. When i was in
Germany I learned to wear moustaches
for tho same reason 1 learned 10 sumko
the meerschaum, because everybody else
did it.
Iu Paris I reduced thcili a little, but
didu't entirely banish them, because
there I also found them ta.-hionable. A
lively littlo French lady, a passenger in
our ship, wagered a pair of PariB kids
that I would not wear them a week in
America; I accepted the bet, and for
one week you will see uie bearded like
tho pard "
"Nay, il you like them,!: ?uid Willie,
laughingly, "you need uot seek an ex
cuse for wearing them, they are quite the
fashion, aud ladies now estimate a man,
not as they once did, by bis attitude, but
by tho length of his whiskers."
"1 have no desire to win a lady's favor
by wearing an unshaven face," answered
Jimmie; "but pray, Willie, tell some
thing more about our pretty cottsiti. She
is as lovely in character, Jimmie ns sh
is in person, but she In ? one greut fault
like the most of our fashionable belles
she hns a mania for everything foreign
Her monhers, her dress, bei servant all
come from abroad; and she declared to
mo reyutti'd'y v^j. rC8o|utiuU uevcr to
mnrry ah 'Aii or'uan."
"What is it that my fair country wo
men so much admire iu their foreign [?V
orsf" Oh ! they Bay there is a polish an
elegance of manners belonging to foreign
ers which 'Americana' never possess.
Two of Katie's intimate friends havo
recently married sotous of some antedi
luviau German family, aud our lovely
cousin is ambitious of forming an equally
splondid alliance."
"Tf she were to marry a Western
farmor," said Jitnuiio, with a suiilo, she
would rcigu over a principality quite as
large, and perhaps more flourishing than
usually belongs to these emigrant nobles
Kate is a noble-hearted girl." replied
Widie, "and I wish she could be cured
ot her folly." "If she is really a
sensible girl, aud that is her ouly
fault; 1 think she might bo cured
Willie shook his head. "Come and dine
with mc, Willie ; be careful to tell n
one of my arrival, and we'll discuss the
j matter over a bottle of old Madeiru, it
you are uot too fashionable to driuk
Tho windows of Mrs. Lee's bousu
ponied B Hood of light through tho erim

looking street, while tho music heard at
iutc'P'aLs told the rich were making mcr
ry. Tho decorated rooms Wore.brilliant
with an array of youth ami beauty, but
fairest amoug^fhem ail stood the mistress
of the festival; Attired in 1 a' 'robe of
white crape, With no other otnamoutb
than her pearls, she looked the personHi
eation of joy.. ?? ?? <?<
"Cousin Willie," she exclaimed, as
she saw her tntvorite cousin enter the
room, "you have out been bore these
'hrce days;" and then, in a lower tone,
she added, "Who wbb the splendid Don
whiskcraudo VSfth whom I Buw-you walk?
inj: yesterday t'? Willie laid hm linger
on his lip as nitalb?guro emerged from
tho crowd at die eittrauce of the door.
"Miss Lee, ? allow me to present to you
tho most noblo Count D'Orsuy;'' The
blood mounted .into Katie's cheek as t|io
Count bowed low over the'hand- which
he hastened to secure fbr* Lfte next quad
rille. There was a mischievous sparkle
in Willie's ej-erand a deep and earnest
devotedtieas i"' the stranger's1 manner,
which made? her feel a little uncotuforta*
blc, though she knew not why.
A single glayaoe sufficed to show her
that the Count was attired iu a magnifi
cent court suit.' With diamond buckles at
the knee, and a diamond bund looping
up the elegant cfutprnu'ura* which ou
cumbcred his arm. After boiiio minutes
she ventured to look at him more cour
ngoously.
He was tall- atiw exceedingly wcll
>hsped; his (yes were very bright, but
i he chief attraction Wiis a beautiful
mouth, garnished with the most splendid
inonstuche that over graced an American
hall room. Katie vrns delighted. Ho
darned elegantly?,, not with the stiff awk
ward manner of an American, who al
ways seem half {.shamed of the undigni
fied part iie !s plity'ng, but with a buoy
aney of stop am>*;vaee of mofiun pcrl'ift
ly uurivalled: Katie was enchanted
Ho a)v.kc l-'nel^h/^e.-y well ; .a slight
Oerman accent alone betrayed Iiis for
eign birth, and Katie did not like him
the less for it. It is true she felt a
little queer when shefouud herself whirl
ing through the dance with an entire
stranger, and hoarded lips upon her hand
as he placed her iu a seat ; but this was
only the freedom of foreign Man not ft.
The evening passed uway like a dream,
and Katie retired to her room with burn
ing checks und a frame exhausted by
what she deemed pleasure. She was too
much excited to sleep, and when she ap
peared at her lather's breakfast table, (a
duty she never neglected.) it was with
such a pale cheek and heavy eye that he
was Seriously alarmed. ''These latoj
hours will kill you, my child," said he.
as he kissed her forehead. "I shall re
turn at noon, and if you are still so lan
guid I shall send for the Doctor."
So saying he stept into his carriage
and drove to his counting room, where
immersed in business, he forgot Katie's
checks, until the dinner hour .summoned
him from his dingy little ofliec to his
sti tcly mansion.
As he entered the door, he recollected
hei- exhausted look. "Poor child, mur
mured be, "I wonder how she is?" A
low musical laugh struck on his ear as
the servant, opened the drawing-room
door, the si>:ht of her radiant counten
ance, looking more brilliant than ever, as
ahe sat between cousin Willie and the
Count, soon quieted his fears.
The coldness which ha -.luted the uo ,
bib Count, formed n SirSaing contrast to j
the cordial warmth with which he
grasped the hand of his nephew. ' (Had
to see you. William, couldn't speak to
you last night, _\ou were surrounded by
so many pretty girls. Hy the way, boy,"
drawing him aside, "who is that fellow ?"
? That is C?unt DOrsay, uncle." 'Tray,
what is his business'/" "Business!
why his chief business is to receive the
revenues of his principality." "l'iimi
p.tlity ! fudge, a few barren acres, 1 sup
pose. It won't do, William, it won't do !
Kule deserves something better than a
mouthful of moonshine. What the deuce
did yon bring him ho..r for ? 1 don't
think 1 can treat him with common
civility if it were no' for your sake."
??My dear Kaf, you have all your
whims gratified," said her father ono
mor.UUlg about two mouths alter her ac
quaintance with the Count. "Now you
must, indulge one of mine. Adopt as
many foreign fashious ns you please, out
remember that you never, with my eon
sent, m rry any other than au American.
My tor tu ue has beeu made by I my own
industry. And no empty titled foreign
I or shall ever roap the fruits of my toils."
Tho earnestness of these admonitions
from a parent who hnU neVor spoke ex
cept in words of unbounded tenderness,
?,-?i?i-1???-ti" ? ' 1 ? "wn v
lirst led her to look into the depths oi',hor
heart.
She was almost terrified at her own re
searches, when ahe found that she had
allowed tho image of the Couut, to oc
cupy its in mos*, hidden rocesses. Bitter
ly did she repent her lolly- "I wish lie
were an American," she sighed, "and
yet, if ho was, he wouldn't be half so
pleasing."
How devoted his maancra arc, how
I much feeling there is iu all he says and
docs 1 Poor girl! she was like the 4*?%?
cinated bird?she. dreaded his power, yet
she could not withdraw herself from its
influence.
She was sitting alone otic mo ruing,
brooding over her ...claneboly forebod
ings, when tho object of her thoughts
entered.
Scatiug himself beside her, he com
inoueed a conversatiou full of those
graceful nothings which women love to
hear. Katie was iu uo luood for gayety
The Count watched her carefully and
earnestly, after awhile he changed the
topic to ono of deeper interest.
He spoke of himself, of his business
adventures, of his prcseut aud personal
feelings. :>ud finally of his approaching
departure for Europe. Her cheek grew
pale, but suppressed the cry which rose
to her lips ; the Couut gazed proudly
upon her, seized her hand and clasped it
closely between bis own, be poured forth
the most passionate expression of, affec
tion. Faultcriiig. but frankly, she stated
her father's objections to her union with
a stranger. 'Only tell me, Katie dan
iug, that your father's prejudices ate the
sole obstacle, said the Count p:tS:iuuate
ly, say that you love mc, and I will bo*
contented. For the love of Heaven,
answer me if but by a look.
Timidly the dowu ca-t eye was raised
to his, and be was answered* Then she
covered, hot; face with her In.ml-, an.? j
burst in tears. "Katie," said the Count, i
?' ' ; i nil
"You love me, those precious tears as
sure mo that you love lue."
"Be miue, sweet one. your father will
uot be inexorable?he adores Vpu."
? ?'-' * . i ;f . .i :l
"Therefore," >.:id she, ' you would
have mo uiake hi . wretched for life.
No 1 Count, wo must part ! You do not
understand my nature?I have been de
ceived in you."
"You have! you have boeu deceived,
iny own sweet cousin 1 covering her
hand with pussiomito kisses." "You
reject Count D'Orsay; will you also
refuse the hand of your mad-cap cousin
Jiuiuiie Karle, whoso, little wife you
were ten years ago '"
Katie started froiu her seat iu v.i! j
surprise. "What ine.iiis all this '! Jiuiuiie
Earlo ! the Count '."
The sudden revulsiou of fooling over
powered her, and her cousin W illie en
tered the room otilj.iu time to seeker
faint iway in Jimmie's arms.
Now tho uuger of thu lady, when she
tecovcred aud learned the trick which
was practised upon her?the satisfaction
of her father, and the final reconciliation
of all differences '.
After a few weeks a party was again
assembled iu the drawing-inum. But
Katiu was no longer the life of the
party.
Attired in bridal array, aud decked
with the rieb jcWuls, which once sparkled
on tho person, of the false "Count," she
sat iu blushiug beauty, beside b?.r oo-u-i?.
Jimmie, who now had shaven of}' his
moustache and reduced hia whiskers, und
looked like what he really was, a true
American.
"l'.ut why Ji.uuiie, did you woo me in
such outlandish i .ise '(" whispered she,
smiling.
"Because sweet one, you vowed you
would marry noue but uu outlandish
wooer. Plain James Eurle would never
havobeeti allowed tho opportunity of win
ning t he heart Count x Jrsay so closoly
besoiged."
"Aye, aye, James." said tho happy
lather, "if American women would value
a man by the weigh; of his brut;;, rather
than tho lightness of his heels., aud the
strength ni his principles, rather than
the elegance of his manners, we should
have loss of foreign foppery, aud more of
homely virtue in our country."

which shortJ^ihft^eadjwith probt hy every
poor, industrious arid-striving hid. We
use his own language :
"Nearly hal Aal century ago, gcotiemcu.
I was put upon the world to make my
living. I was stout, willing and able,
considering my tender years, and secured
a place iu a-hardware store to do ali sorts
of ohorcs required. 1 was paid seventy

"t countvd the articles carefully as I
delivered them, and with my empty bar

glee over my tr itmpii ovo.- 'difficulty.
Some weeks after 1 prticl tlie Irishman

he can compromise the debt by sending
nif a bushel of hi rare ripe peaches next

had witnessed uty struggles and how
zealously 1 labored to deliver that load
of hardware; he evtMi W itched me to the
llonse ami saw me count each piece as I
landed it in the d.'.or way. He sent for
me next day, asked my name, told mo
he had a reward ffo my industry and

The Michigan papers report that a

There may be something iu a name after

Thb School Sill.
Tli-- ?chool Hill before the Legislatur?
of tins State, has some very good pro
visions and some very objectionable. TL
control of the education of the children
of the State is, by the provisions of the
Bill, indirectly vested iu the Governor,
and the people will have no influence or
powor over the teachers of their children .
We1 say the power is vested in Use Govcr
nor, who may turu out to be an Iufidclv
or Mormon, or Fourieritc, or any aof* tf%
moral or political moDster, and yet, by
tho powor unconstitutionally given 19
him, be may control every single freeu
school iu every County in the entire
State. There is a niooarchey established
by the Bill iu the training aud education
of the children of the people. The
citizens of n County or Township will bo
obliged to submit to just such teachers
, and instructors as the Governor ami his
creatures may select. This is easily
proved. The Stnto Constitution requires
eaeh County to elect one School Com
missioner to huvo charge of the public
schools, nccms plainly .to intend that this
most important duty shall be discharged
by officers selocted by the people; but lo I
this School Bill authorise* the Governor
to appoint, in each County, two persons
to act with the School Commissioner as
a Board of Education, aud thus gives
the servants of the Governor a majority
iu every County Board. They arc to
selcoi aud remove teachers, and do all
other things iu control of the schools.?- ?
This is the legislation of a body calling
itself i Republican?giving to ono single
man tho right to mould the minds aud
morals, aud roltgtou,. perhaps, of the
children of tue people.
Tobacco smokers,- say.-? the London
Jfesiical JUi'rror, must look to their eves.

volumes of tho "Loudon Hospital Re
ports," Mr. Jonathan Hutchinson hue
narrated several cases of ttmaurnsis, the
histories of which go to estaliah the fact
that in each case the blindness was
brought on by that rapidly increasing,
aud, os it appears, baneful huVnr; and in
the JiW.Ym' Thum and Q?zHfa of a late
date, tho same distinguished surgeon has
described another striking case of '-to
bacco muaurosis, eudiug in absolute
blindness, induced iu eighteen mouths.
