(coNINtUED FROM FiltsT PAuE.) thoughtfully, "but, perhaps, I mhay as well take your Ward Iiir it, and learn for mysel.

Now, don't you know, that yuu'd smake a capital uission ry to the ponr? Just try it, fir thr~r sazken-, If they can stnud up against ) our beautiful fhae and your bright eyes, and your true tiongue, they are strong. er than I am. Don't tlush any nore --l'm sorry I said it, int 't is the truth. Now I want to ask you to do one little thing lsr tim, and tAmt is, all the help I'll ever need from you. Let me start with this. Just write your name, will you, with your own hand, and give it to ile? I don't want It printed on any pasteboard ltnmerv; I want it just as youl wrote it yourself, for Inc. 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 gave him the card in silence. '-Thank you. You've done a great deal to-day, and this is'nt the least." "Stop at moment!" cried Fannie, blushing. "You ought to tell me your namne, too. Perhaps I may hear of it hearafter. I shall, if you are strong and bold." "Don't ask me that," he exclaimed, redtoning. "I should have to tell you if you asked me, and I don't want to do that yet. lut 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 'm bound to do it. 'Twill help me along so much. Good bye !" And in an instant he was out of sight. For a little while we looked at each other without exchanging a word. "Well, this is an odd adventure. Only think of your talking halfan hour With a ragged treet boy !" "I am 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, if this savage young Orson should turn out to be your Valentine at last!" "Pehaw, 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 you hope so?" "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 Fannie's.letters tell it all in a few words. Several years pasae 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 cannot show them to you. One letter that she wrote ito mae, while I was in Vera Cruz, will ;be enough to explain ev-ery thing, and TIl wind up my story with that. I -have som,e others here, giving the sub. ject a passing mention from time to -time, but none so full as this. As you wilt perceive, it was written under the excitement of strong curiosity, but it is really provoking that she did not delay sending it to the post office just <me hour ! " Dear Carrie-Just now I amn in sad perplexity, and though I know that all will be settled in one short, hour, I cannot help sitting down and making you a sharer in my troubles. And to punish you for your long silence, I shall send 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 sake any interest in my afluiirs, this may secure me a letter from you beforeo many days are over. "You cannot have forgotten our meeting with young Orson, as you call bim, for I have occasionally written you an abstract of tihe reports of his success, with which he sometimnes 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 bsefore my eyes. You first taught me that a real soul could exist in one so ignor ant and wretched as I then was, ad that this soul could only be developed through severe mental labor. I found, aiso, that painful bodily delving was necessary before I could have an op. portunity to exercise my mind, and I -struggled through it. Then, there was the work of many lust years crowded into a few, but I succeede-1 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 na. ture conquered by your own noble. ness. IMy only capital in life was the little card on which you inscribsed your name, and from this I haave wrought, what is to in q a fortune. My success has beeni wholly yours-wil. you now share it with me 'I "'Nothing but the thought of you could have carried me through thet pasi - dix years, and fr-om the first you hiave knowni it. -This, then, is no strange deolaration to you. In one sense, i is not presumptuouis, for I move in the mame social circle with yourself, and copmltit- W e are no strangers to ecttth other except in name. But I might consider it presumptuous to ask equality from one who knows my for ater condition, if I were not sure that the same high mind and world-scorning spirit, which then sent words from your heart, to mine, cannot look in con. tempt upon what you yourself crcated. "'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 this noment I shall call upotn you and request an interview, Then I can tell you my name, I will the ask you to share it. Do not re fuse, even in your own mind, until you know who and what I am.' " So, Carrie, you are a true proph etess. Our Orson has become a Val entine ! " But, I cannot jest on this subject. To mhe it is full of perplexity,-not but that, the course is suflicient ly plain, but it is hard, and I do not know how to smooth its roughness. Ile speaks with arrogauce, but, truthfully. IHis words have even waked an echo in my heart, but not of love. You know that I am engaged (" I omit thei nam-~e, Mr. Brengle," said Mrs. Granger-" you well know the gentleman.") "-And that I cannot, would not break that engagement. I don't wish to see this new suiter. Why could he not, have sho'iwn himself a year later -or earlier? "Good-bye. I can't wr'te any more. In faet, I cannot do any thing just nfow. FANNIEs" 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 me to tellt this story of your wife. She never loved this Or son, though she reclaimed him from vice and degradation. I have told it, sir, that you may better apircciate the prize which you have secured. "Thank you, Mrs. Granger. I sup pose now, that it is no more than fair for inc to tell my story also. You may find it, somewhat interesting." "Do not understand mne as calling for it, she replit'd quickly. "Still it may 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 say to engage in the laudable occupa tion rif birds nesting-" "Wait, a moment, Mr. Brengle," said mny lair auditress. with a quick smile of surprise. "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 into her presence. She appeared sur priscd to see me, and I fanecd a little uneasy also. It was somnewhat mali. cious. I kno. w, hut I could not help en joiyinlg her agitation.- At last, I care lessly remtarked "'D Jid you receive mny note, Fannrie?' " Your note!" She waited an in stanit fo~r breathi, then fixed her un steady eyes on mei, an I nervously asked - " D o you know what you are say ing ?i" "I should know. Ihave I not had full time to learn it draing the lasit six years'? Ahr, F'annie! do y'ou re mnembier 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 The Ruiased Fanalily-. "The d epopulat inrg pesti lence that walked at noon day, or the carnage of cruel andI devastatinig war can scarcely exhibit their vietims ini a more terrible ar ray than extermninat~ing drunkenness. I have seen a proamising faunily spring uip fromr the parent trunk, and stretch abroad its populous limbs5 like a fkow erinig tree covered with green and healthful foliage. I have seen the uin natural decay begiiiing upcoa the yet tender leaf, and giiawiang like a woram ini an unropened bud, while they drop. ped olT, one by one, andl the ruined shaft stood alone, unatil the winds and rains of many a sorrow laid that too in the dust. On one of these holy days, when the p~atriarceh, rich in virtue anid tears, gathered about him the great and little ones of the flock, his sons1 and daughters, I too sat at the board. pledged their health, and expatiated with delight upon the eventful future, while the good old man, warmed in the genial glow of youthful eiithuisiasmr, wiped a tear from his eyes. Ile was happy. I met them again when the rolling year brought the festive season around. But all were nrot there. Tihe kind old rman sighed as his suffused eye dwelt upon the thenr unoccu >ied seat, butjoy yet camne to his relhef, and the was happy. A parent's love kirew no dimninution--time, distance, poverty, shamne, gave but intensity and strength to that ptassioni, before which all othera dissolve anid melt, away. TIhe hoard wars agaiin sprieadl, but the guest came not. T1he mnan cried, 'where nairy children ' an echo answered 'wherie? Hius heart broke for they wvere niot. Could not heaven have spared Ihis grey hairs this aflliction? The demon of' drunkenness had been there. They hard inllen victims to his spell. And onre shrort month suflieed to cast thre veil of oblivion over the old mana's sur row arid the y'ounig ones' shiamae. They are all dead. "l,t 0oo, sat at the board, I pledged their health," saya our talented author. Was it in water. or intoxi.iar l,....r? If in thei latter, the cause of the ruin of this 'ruined faunily' can be easily traced. I knew an aged patriarch, who pledged his suns, at the festi e board and he had six; all of thea he. carme drnnkards, and five now fill the drunkard's grave, acd the aged patri arch also passed away in sorrow f++r the fitte of his sons, and most probably without a Itought that it was his example and pratiec which brought ruin and desolation on his fminily. Parents that use or olfer lntoixi eting liqluors, have no right to expect that their childrcen will esenpe the drunkards doom. Parents who vote for the continned traflic mnay expect ruin in some branch ol their family. ('an a mean handle rurining coals \vithout lieing burned ? Those that vote for the sale of intoxi. eating liquors, will vote for the ruin offaimiliesO 'T'hose that wish to pre. vent the ruin of their famalies, and the ruin of' the famnlies of their friends, will aid in electing those who will pass such a law as will pr'evert, hereafter, that desolation in fiunilies which the past hiktorv of' all circles has been obli. ged to chronle."- Vish'tn Irving. Tradinmg witta Slives. The laws of' South Carolina in regard to trading wit h slaves are very rigid. The penalty is not less than one months imprisonmnent, and one hundred dol. lars, and may be, in the discretion of the Court, one thousand dollars, and twelve months' imprionnent. 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 distillh r is allowed to sell or give spirits to a slave under a heavy penalty. A slave seen goit.g into a shop with an article and coiming out without it, or seen going in with. out an art'ele and coming out of tihe shop with it is proof snificient to convict the shop keeper of trading with a slave, Tihese are severe laws and it was founnd necessary to pass theni to break up trafficking with slaves. It is known that there is a great number of persons who do not, seem to regard these laws. They trade with slaves without thinking of the mischief they are doing. Chi(kings, eggs and fruits of all kind aire purchased of slaves without reflecting that it is of ten stolen property they are purchas ing. It is seldom that poultry or Iruat 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 be exceedingly careful to purchase nothing of a slave without a written permit to sell. Merchants especially should be care ful to observe this well. Otherwise they are encouraging the slave to steal. It may be true that a nerchant 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 f'or money, he thereby encourages tre slave to steal the money or something else to get the money with. It mat ters not that the trader may know the slave to be benest, Ile should consid er that he is violating the law, and running the risk of crimninal prosecntion and likewise lie may be mistaken as to hounesty of the slave. The facility which slaves have of stealing from their owners and others makes it the sacred duty of every, well disposed and hontest man to be particular in receiving or purchasing any thing from a slavo without the written consent of his owner. This particularity, the other day, on part of a townsmian, saved us a peice of sil ver. A nd a few mmonths ago this same honest sort of particularity sav'd us a fine shoat which had been captured by a neighsbor's slave and canrr'ied into market. \Ve understand likewise, if some others had been eqnally careful and p~rudenct, anothe rs peice oft property might, have bieen saved, which was sold by onme of our slaves. We' have frequently heard of' the complaint in the country amongst our fihrmers that, they could not keep their turkeys and chickens and eggs until the)y sawv prop. er to sell them or eat them, that they were all stolen and carried to the v'il lage. In connection with thisivery evil of which we are nowv complaining, WV e remember a good joke which hiappenied many years ago. A negro fellow eanme into the village with a fiat turkey gob bler,-and sold it. lin a few mioimeints afterwards he stole the tui key again arid sold it again. Th'iis he repeat ed till he had sold thle gob~bler three times, arnd then ihe took him back borne and lef't him i where he had first. stolen himi from his mistre ss. If' all roguish nre groes were as shrewd arnd considerate, this kind of traflicking would soon be broken up . -Southern Pautriot. rTE Fms'r NEwSPAPER establIshed in North America was the Boston News Letter, '.commrenced A pril 24, 1704.
