sister knows I would not willingly refuse her
any request to-day.''
** Well, then, it is simply this, that you
pay Susan Howard no further attentions."
" Ilow so, Lucy ! what has Susan Howard
done to offend you, or what can you
bring against her to justify you in making
such a request?"
" I should not have supposed you would
A?k that; is not her parentage enough ?"
" I cannot say why ! She is the daugh/
ter of au honest, respectable blacksmith, who
|?aa always supported his family honorably,
and given his daughters au education that
will render them ornaments to the best society
in our land ?"
u How absurdly you talk, Fred ; where
pan you have picked up such sentiments?
f. think society would bo vastly obliged to
you, wore you to introduce a blacksmith's
daughter to grace its circles."
Well, it ini?rht bo, Lucy, for notwith
standing your prejudices, let me assuro you
there is not a girl among the circle of your
acquaintance who, for the sterling quulities
fit mind and heart, will compare ivitlfSusAn
iiowsrd.*'
M f kqow nothing of her sterling qualities.
8he doubtless does well enough for the static*)
in which she moves, and which she is
assigned-io fill, as the wife of some sturdy
* mechanic ; but you, as well as she, would
find she is quite out of her sphere in more
refined society.'*
" I an> sorry to hear you express such sentiments.
What have we, the children of a
republican government, to do with such nice
distinctions1 Worth js the criterion, by
wbieh wo (jra to judge, qot lljp accident of
. fortune or family. This is one of the chief
beauties of our republican institutions, that
it graaU to oypry man and woman the powder
to become tire architect of their owg fyr<
tune?to something or nothing."
. " All thai sound* very well for you politicians,
sod trill doubtless haro a very good
?
effect in electioneering purpose* ; but I have
no ambition, because I live under h republican
eoverninent, to become so very republican
in my feelings slid association.- Tbe
distinctions of society should bo observed,
else wliAt would it become ?" 1
" So they should, Lucy, nnd so they ever 1
will. The distinctions tat ween vice and vir-?
tue, ignorance and intelligence, cannot be 1
too nicely drawn, though 1 fear it would be 1
to tbe exclusion of mauy who now swell the j
list of our would-bo aristocracy, while the
admission of our worthy blacksmith and his ?
intelligent family would more than compen- 4
sato for a score of them." t
44 Ilow can you, Fred, persist in thai which
you know is so annoying to your family t 1
ihc very idea of having a girl like Susan I
Howard associated with it, is too humbling 4
to bo endured" 1
441 regret exceedingly that your prejudi- i
cos are so strong. Lucy, as I have decided ;
Upon asking Miss Howard to become your i
sister, so you see I cannot, with consistency, 1
give you the required promise." <
44 If that is your decision, further argn- i
raent is useless ; but you know my feelings <
towards her, and the welcome she will be i
likely to receive from me." i

" ITave yon seen the member from C , i
Fred, asked Lucy Preston of her brother, the
day after his ariival in \Va>hipgtorM where
tho had been spending n few weeks with I
her father, a distinguished member of Congress,
from one of the New England States."
44 No ; who is lie, and what is he like I"
M II is name is Howard and I heard fa-r
thcr siy this morning that he is one of the
most talented members of the llouse. lie
is certainly one of tl?o iqost perfect gentle- '
men I ever iqct."
" Howard, Oh! I wonder if he has any
j sisters r l
j * Yes, several: One of them was here i
j with him during the early part of the scs
1 sion, nud, judging from tho quantity and I
j quality of praise lavished upon her. she must
! be a paragon. She will be here again soon,
j as she is expected to grace Mis. L '?
party to-morrqw night."
" 1 must manage to get at) introduction
to her.''
" I think J on effect this, as her brother
has promised to favor mo with one. I am
( really curious to see one who excites such
unqualified admiration."
I Mrs. L 's spacious drawing-rooms
[ were already filled with the elite of the capJ
ital when Lucy Preston entered, accoinpai
nied by the talented aud accomplished Mr. I
Howard.
Grave statesmen and politicians liad lain
aside the care and dignity of State and office
to participate in those fashionable follies
which so invitingly promise to afford relaxation
and amusement *, and well were those
promises fulfilled, as the radiant faces of
beauty and majestic manhood proclaimed ;
a? they here surrender themselves to the exliberating
sound of music, and keep time
and pace with its voluptuous swellings, or
they join themselves to that merrv group,
where wit and humor is the presiding genius.
While, perchance, some more intellectual
in their tastes, find a deeper source
of enjoyment in the discussion of graver
topics.
Lucy's eager eye took in at u glance the
gay assembly, then wandered impiiringly
froi|> one group to another, to distinguish, it
possible, the sfar which reigned pre-eini- 1
nent; hut all seemed to her gay and beautiful,
and she soon, in the fascinating elo- <
queue? of the gentleman on whose arm she 1
leaned, hull' forgot her womanly curiosity,
and the promised introduction; when the
announcement of Mr. Preston and Miss
Howard, excited both euriiwltv nn<4
J ...... ""'VI.ishment.
The suppressed murmur of admiration
which greeted their entranco had
scarce subsided when her astonishment was
suddenly changed to the deepest chagrin j
and mortification ; for there, in tlip sister of 1
the man she so much admired, and the ac
knowledged favorite of the mpst icfmed cir-1
cles of the capital, she beheld none other
than our blacksmith a daughter.

The following Christmas witnessed a mer
ry party assembled beneath the roof of our
worthy blacksmith, a?*l Lucy Preston?now 1
Mrs. Howard, the bride of the blacksmith's
son?rejoiced in the beauty of those liberal
institutions, whioh a short year before she '
bad held in such contempt.

In Falun, a mining town in Swedun. a
hundred yeata or more ago, h young miner
kissed his fair bride, and said to h(:r :
" On St, Lucia's l>ay, our lovo will be
blessed by the priestV (wind. Then wo shall
be husband and wife, and we will build us
i little nest of u>\r own."
,l And peace and love shall dwell in it,"
laid the beautiful bride, with a sweet smile,
for thou art my all in all, and without
thee I would choose to be iu my grave."
But when the priest, in proclaiming their
bans in the church for the second time boPore
St. Lucia's Day, pronounced the words,
' If now any one can show reason why these
persons should not be united iu the bonds of
matrimony," Death was at hands. The
young man, as he passed her houso next
morning in his black mining garb, already
wore his shroud. lie rapped upon her win

she embroidered for him on that very rpQfping
a black cravat with a red border for the
wedding day. This she laid carefully away,
and never ceased to mourn or weep for him.
Meanwhile, time passed on; the Seven
Years war was foughf; the partition of Poland
took place; America became free; the
French revolution and tho long war began ;
Napoleon subdued Prussia, and tho English
bombarded Copenhagen. The husbandmen
sowed and reaped, the miller ground, and
tho miners dug after tl.e veins of metal in
their subterranean workshops. As tho miners
of Falun, in the year eighteen hundred
and nine, a little before or after St, John's
Day, were excavating an opening between
two shafts, full three hundred ells below the
ground, they dug from the rubbish and vitriol
water, tho body of a young man. entire
lv saturated with iron-vitriol, but otherwise
undecayed and unaltered?so that one could
distinguish his features and "go as well as
if he bad died only an hour before, or had
fa'len asleep for a little while at his work.
But when they brought him out to the
light of day, father and mother, friends and
acquaintances, had been lpng dead ; no one
oould identify the sleeping youth, or tell
anything of his misfo;tune, till she came

in joyful testacy than pain, she sank down
upon the beloved form. As soon as she
had recovered her composure, she exclaimed,
"It is my betrothed, whom 1 have
mourned for fifty years, and whom God liow
permits me to see cr.ce more before I die.
A week before the wedding time lie \yeut
under t|,o earth, and never returned.'?
All the bystanders were moved to tears,
as they beheld the former bride, a wasted
and feeble old woman, and tho bridegroom
still in the beauty of youth ; and now, after
the lapse of fifty years, her youthful love
awoke again. But lie never opened lip
month to smile, nor his eyes to recognise ;
and she, finally, as the only one belonging
to liim, and having a right to him, had him
carried to her own little room, till a grave
couhl be prepared iu tho churchyard. The
next day, when all was ready, and tho miners
came to take hilt) a wuv, s|m opened a
little drawer, and taking out the black silk

q Unwritten History Concerning Mr.
BrooksA
correspondent of the Charleston Cou r
sr, writing from Washington, gives some <
tins about Mr. Brooks and his attack on >v
tinner, which has never before been pub- f
kited. He says:
Prominent among these reminiscences is *
e fact that the reconciliation of the tie- <
ascl with T,?wjs I). Campbell, of Ohio, the t
Ivisipg nntl <*>r responding friend of Anson j t
urlitigame, in his shapi demonstration of: I
;ht with the gallant Southron. Campbell c
eeting Brooks, during the present session i
Congress, tendered Ititn his hand, which o
e hgtgr at fpst refused to accept, deplaripg s
at there were soute things to bo unsaid '
fore friendly relat\o.ps could ever be re- t
tred between them. Campbell tlipn tie- '
ired that he earnestly desirpd a reconeilia- I
>11, adding emphatically that u ho wished ^
'associate witli gentlemen," and was wil* I
ig and readv to remove any obstacle tint r
ood in the way of his purpose. '1 he nc- '
ssnty retraction was made, and amity was *
stored, and Campbell's sincerity was tug-! >
ilized by his conduct and deep agitation j I
the death-bed ot Mr. Brook*, and bv his J I
ibsequent pulogy of Mr. Brook*. on thc{{
inundation of Tijs death in the House of,'
opresentatives. <
The poitroony of Burlingunie \y;ta a set- 1
sd belief in the mind of Brooks; and he "
i declared to a Oenernl, a Colonel, or Mr. <
tnies, (of Wisconsin,) I think, who, it is 1
lid, was to have bepp Burlingnine's second, j'
i the veiy improbable contingency of an)'
jtual duel, lie further told James that, if 1
urlingame came within his reach he would 1
ine him, and to let his principal know it. j
is notorious that Burlingaine, after his j i
uixotie expedition t#uuir/i4, not tQ the Clif-11
>n House, never ventured to show his face '
i Washington, during the last session of
ongress, and kept out of Brooks' reach, al- i
lough the latter made several efforts, hut i
holly unsuccessful ones, to ascertain his
hereabouts, from Campbell. During the
icsent session, I am credibly informed that
luilingame kept carefully out of Brooks'!
jach, never coining to or leaving the Capi
jI except in a close carriage, and not even |
unturing on lirookV side of the House,
liile the latter was alive; but that since the
eath of Brooks, he has been sitting in a
liair next to the seat or desk which B. used
) occupy. Vet the creature is regarded by
largo portion of his hood-winked and ;
Iteated oeoplo at koine, as a hero and!
hatnpion, and they have covered hint with,)
ol44 with blushing honors,*' bijt with lion-!
is that must make him blush in secret and j
t shame under a seme of his own uuwor-!
liness and deceit.
I learn, also, that Brooks was only re j

cnator Wilson, of Massachusetts, as he had j
one W.'s colleague, Sumner, attd thus |?ut- j <
