(cowrrSeED FROM rtFtsr PAGt.) thoughtfully, "butt perhaps, I may as well take your Ward ihr it, and learn for myself. I'll do it I I really be lieve I van, and I'll begin this very day. If I ever do become any thing, I'll tiank you, bless you ter it--you, a gil I, not half us strong as I am, but mastering inc with your e'urage and truth I Are there any more in the world like )uu 'l-I neeer saw any before. Now, don't you know, that yuu'd make a capital niiismitlnry to the poor? Just try It, for thrir saken. Jf they can stitmd up against our beautiful race and your bright eyes, and your true tiongue, they are strong er than I am. Don't blush any inure -I'm sorry I said it, hut'tis the truth. Now I want to ask von to do one little thing ir mse, and tlrnt is, nil the help I'll ever teed frams you. Let mc start with this. Just write your name, wil I you, with your oWn hand, and give it to mu? I don't want It printed ott any pasteboard ittnmery; I want it just as you wrote it yourself, for me. I know it will do me good. I feel that I can do any thing when I look at that. Will you start me in life with this?" With an eye, downcast, yet glowing, and a firm, raised hand, Fannie wrote her name, and g:ave him the card in silence. 'Thank you. You've done a great deal to-day, and this is'ut the least." "Stop a tmontelit !" cried Fannie, blushing. "You ought to tell rme your name, too. Perhaps I may hear of it tearaftor. I shall, if you are strong and bold." "Don't ask me that," he exclaimed, redd'oning. "I should have to tell you if you asked me, and I don't want to do that yet. But if you'll only let me write to you once in a while, and tell you how I am getting along; or, if you'll read what I write--won't you do it? You need'nt fear any thing. I'll never sign any name, until I can sign one that you have heard of. Don't say no, for I'm bound to do it. 'Twill help me along so much. Good bye !" And in an instant he was out ofsight. For a little while we looked at each other without exchanging a word. "Well, this is an odd adventure. Only think ofyour talking half an hour with a ragged street boy !" "I an not sorry for it," replied Fan. nie, quietly. "You have no cause to be sorry," said I, rather warmly; and then, after a pause-"Only think, Fannie, it this savage young Orson should turn out to be your Valentine at lasi!" "Pshaw, Carrie! you don't know what you are saying. Let us drop the subject. I wonder, though, if we ever shall hear of him again. Don't "Certainly," said I, and then we talked of something else. The first part of my story has been so long, that I must hurry over the rest, and let Famie's.letters tell it all in a few words. Several years passed by. Fannie had received one or two notes from this reclaimed Orson, reporting his gradual success, but they are in her own possession, and I eannot show them to you. One ktt.er that she wrote to me, while I was in Vera Cruz, will 'be enough to explaina every thing, and a'll wind up my story with that. I -have some others here, giving the sub. ject a passing mention from time to .timre, but none so full as this. A s you 'will perceire, it was written under the excitemcnt of strong curiosity, but it is really provoking that she did not delay sending it to the post office just .one hour ! "Dear Carrie.-Just now I am in sad perplexity, and though I know that all will be settled in one short hour, I cannot help sitting dowvn and making you a sharer in my troubles. And to punish you for your long silence, I shall a~nd this letter before the cause of my perplexity is removed, so that you will remain in suspense until you make yourself entitled to an answer and an explanation. If you lake any interest in my af~airs, this may secure me a letter from you before many days are over. "You cannot have forgotten our meeting with young Orson, as you call him, for I have occasionally written you an abstract of the reports of his success, with which he sometimes fa vors me. Only read now this note, which I have just received from the unknown: "' If you have read my letters from time to time, you must know that I have finally succeeded in mastering the lesson of life which you placed btefore my eyes. You first taught mec that a real soul could exist ini one so ignor ans,. and wretched as I then was, amid that this soul could only be doveloped through severe mental labor. I found, also, that painful bodily delving was necessary before I could have an op. portunity to exercise my mind, and I -struggled through it. Tihen, there was the work of many lost years crowded into a few, but I succeede-l in that, also. When the preparation was over, I found that success must be toiled for, and I have grasped it-finally, the po sition for which I strove, I have gained -all through your impulse. "'I could not have worn myself thus for mere success in life. You must know that there was another motive-you, who saw my rude n. ture conquered by your own noble nets. My only capital in life was the little card on which you inscribed your name, and from this I have wrought, what is to me a fortune. My suCcess has been wholly yours-will you now share it with mc ?i "' Nothing but the thought of you could have carried me through the past ',ili yea~rs, and from the first you have knwj it. 3This, then, is no strange declaration to you. In one sonse, it is not presumlptuoums, for I move in the same socIal cIrcle with youirself, and have aven spnat hanpy hours an. yo.... eomllptillt We are un strange-rs to ettch other except inl name. But I might consider it presumptuous to ask equality frin one who knows my for muer condition, if I were not sure that the siame high mind and world-scorning spirit, which then sent words from yo ur heart to mine, cannot look in cion. tempt. upon what you yourself errated. "' They say that you are engaged to another. I would know from your own lips whether you love him or me. In two hours from title moment, I shall cal I tpotn you and request an interview. Thet I can tell you my name, I will then nsk you to share it. Do not re fuse, even in your own mind, until you know w)ho and what I am.' "Si, Carrie, you are a true proph etess. Our Orson has become a Val en tine ! " But. I cannot just on this subject, To me it is full of perplexity,--not but that the course is sufliciently plain, but it is hard, and I do not know how to sttooth its roughness. Ile speaks with arr(ogautce, but truthfully. Illis words have even waked an echo in inv heart, but not of love. You know that I ani engaged (" I omit the name, Mr. Brengle," said Mrs. Granger-" you well know the gentlentan.") "-And that I cannot, would not break that engagemnent. I don't wish to see this new suiter. Why could he not have shown himself a year later -or earlier? "Good-bye. I can't wr'te any more. In fact, I cannot do any thing just now. FA ," This, sir, is all that I know. Fannie never would tell me the rest, but al. ways put, it off by saying that, I should know the secret at the right time. Now, I suppose you are convinced that it i: not the spirit of mere retalia. tion that prompts inc to tellt this story of your wife. She never loved this Or son, though she reclaimed him from vice and degradation. 1 have told it, sir, that you may better aprrcciate the prize which you have secured. "Thank you, Mrs. Granger. I sup pose now, that it is no more than ftir f ,r inc to tell my story also. You may find it somewhat, interesting." "Do not understand me as calling for it, she replied quickly. "Still it ruay interest you. Years ago, when I was a poor, ragged boy, little dreaming that I should ever call the aristocratic Walter Granger my friend, I strolled out of the city one day to engage in the laudable oceupa tion cif birds nesting-" "Wait, a mornent, Mr. Brengle," said my Bair uiditress. with a qutiek smile. of surpmise. - "Don't tell the story over again, Philip," exclaimed Fannie, archly. "Oh, Fannie ! Fannie ! why could you not have saved me all this trou ble?" "She left that to me. Since you are anxious to know the result, I can tell you in a very few words. "At the specified time, I was ushered nto her presence. She appeared sur prised to see nme, and I fancied a little uneasy also. It was somewhat mali. uiouus. I know, but i oldl not help en-i joiying her agitationi. A~t last, I care lessly remarked "'Did you receive my noste, Fanniie? " Your note!" She waited ani in stanit for breamth, then fixedh her un steady eyes on me, an I nervously asked - " I)o you know wvhat you arc say. ing ?" " I shoul know. Ha:ve I not had full time to learn it during the last six years? Alt, Faniei! do you re memb er this" " I placed a worn but carefully pre served card in her hand. She rose in sudden tears. I pressed her to moy heart, but not a word was spoken. The Rluined Famuily-. "The depopulating pesti lence that walked at, nooni day, or the carnage of uruel and devastating war can scarcely exhibit their victims in a more terrible ar ray thani exterutinasting drunkenness. I have seen a promtising fiunily spring up fromt the parent trunk, anid stretch abroad its popituous limbs like a flow crinig tree covered with green and healthful foliage. I have seen the tun. natural decay begining upon the yet tender leaf, and guawineg like a worm in an unmopened butd, while they drop. ped off, one by onue, anid the ruined shaft stood alone, until the winds and14 rains of many a sorrow laid that too in the d ust. On onec of tbese holy days, whens the patriarch, rich in virtue and tears, gathered abiout him the great and little ones of the flock, his sons1 andh daughters, I too sat at the board. pledged their health, and expatiated with delight upona the eventful future, while the good old man, warmed in thec genial glow of youthful enthtusiasm, wip~ed a tear frm his eyes. lHe was happy. I mot them again when the rollinig year brought the festive season around. But all wvere niot there. The kind old mtan sighed as his suffused eye dwelt upon the then unoceu >ied seat, butjoy yet came to his relief, and he was happy. A parenlt's love knmew no diminution-time, distanice, poverty, shamse, gave lbut intensity and strength to that passion, before which all others dissolve and rmelt, away. TIho board was again spi-cad, but the guest, caime not. Tlhe mani cried, 'where arec my children T an echo answered 'whee? His heart broke for they wvere not. Could not heaven have spared his grey haira this affliction? The demion of drunkenness had ben there. They had fallen victims to his spoll. And 011e short mouth sufficed to east the veil of oblivion over the old man's sor row and the young ontes' sihame. They are all dead. "I, too, sat at the board, I pledged their health," says our ta'.ented author. Was it in watr, or inau.i...,i,.. lium..? If' in the latter, the cause of the ruin ofthis 'ruined fhitly' can be easily traced. I knew an aged patriarch, who pledged his suns at the festi e board and hie had six; all of them be. came drunkards, an.i five now fill the drunkard's grave, and the aged patri arch also passed away in sorrow for the fitte of his sons. and tost probably without a thought that it was his example and pratico which brought ruin and desolation on his fitnily. Parents that use or offer litoxi cling liquors, have no right to expect that their children Will escape the drunkards doom. i'arents who vote for the continued traflic mnay expect riii im sonue branch of thielr fhmily.

Those that vote for the sale of intoxi eating i(lurs, will vote for the ruin ofUftialies, Those that wish to pre. vent the ruin of their fainalies, and the ruin of the famalies of their friends, will aid in electing those who will pass such a law as will prevent, hereafter, that desolation in finnilies which the past history of all circles has been obli. ged to chronicle."-- rsh'tn Irving. Tradiug with Sltaves. The laws of S'uth Carolina in regard to trading with slaves are very rigid. The penalty is not less than one mont hs imprisonmnent, and one hundred dol lars, and may be, in the discretion of the Court, one 1hiousand dollars, and twelve months' imprisonment. The law requires, too, that the permit from the slave's master to trade shall be in writing and be produced on the trial. No shop keeper or distillt r is allowed to sell or give spirits to a slave under a heavy penalty. A slave seen goi.g into a shop with an article and coining out without it, or seon going in with out an art'ele and coming out of the shop with it is proof snfficient to convict the shop keeper of trading with a slave, These are severe laws and it was found neces-.ary to pass them to break up traflicking with slaves. It is known that there is a great number of persons who do not seen to regard these laws. They trade with slaves without thinking of the mischief they are doing. Chiekings, eggs and fruits of all kind are purchased of' slaves without reflecting that it is of ten stolen property they are purchas ing. It is seldom that poultry or fruit is sold in the village of Greenville by slaves that is not stolen from their owners or some one else. Every cor rect man, and women, too. should he exceedingly careful to purchase nothing of a slave without a written permit. to sell. Merchants especially should be care f'ul to observe this well. Otherwise they are encouraging the slave to steal. It may be true that a merchant or shop keeper would not trade for any article of produce with a slave. But if he will sell his wares and goods to a slave fur money, he thereby eneourages the slave to steal the money or something else to get the money with. It mait. ters nost that the trader rnay know the slave to be honest. le should consid er that he is violating the lawv, and running the risk of crimiinal pirosecutiomn and likewise he may be mistaken as to honesty of' the slave. The facility which slaves hiave of stealing f:omn their owners and others makes it the saeied duty of every, well disposed and hotiest nian to be particular in receiving or purchasing any thling from a slave without the written consent of his owner. TIhis particularity, the other day, on part of a townsmnan, saved us a peice of sil. ver. A iid a few meonths ageo this same honest sort of particularity saved us a fine shiiat which had been captured by a neighsb.or's slave and carried into market. We understand likewise, if some o~hers had been equally careful and prudent, anothers peice of' property might have beeun saved, which wvas sold by onei of' our slaves. We have frequently heard of the compluaint in the onunt.ry amongst our firmiers that they cotuld not keep their turkeys and chickens and eggs unitil they sawv prop. er to sell them or eat thenm, that they were all stolen and carried to the v'il. lage. In connection with thisjvery evil of which we tire now cotmplainuing, We remember a good joke which hiappeuned many years ago. A tnegro fellow caine into the village with a fiit turkey gob. bler,-'and sold it. In a fecw mionmnts afterwards he stoile the tui key again and sold it again. This he recpeat ed till he had sold the gobbler three tinies, and then lie toouk him back homie and left, himi w here lie had first. stolen him from his miistr'e s. If' all roguish nie groes wvere as shrewd atid considerate, this kind of' trail'icking would soon be broken up . -Southern Pautriot. rTE Fmus'r NEwvsPAPEa established in North Amomica was the Boston News Letter, '.comni~iced A pril 241, 1704.
