A Ttue Story. At the beginning of tbo present century, <i very clover cook, named Delaine, came to fari#, and set up n littlo eating house at the fcornw of tbo rude do Maadnr.

Ho was thus -able, in 'h short time, to move into handsome qnar' Cfere, where itia dining rooms were.fitted u]> with all the.convenient and handsome appliances of a fashionable restaurant.?These l^imous wits and high livers had founded a Society qpllod Uie Modern Cellar, who met once .1 woefc to dine on tlio most luxuriant faro, and ^ho inost delicato wines. It <&'o&ili$.ftochorde-Caucale for its HeatfSitinrters; and lialeine's fortuno was made rotn that tiay. Ualtyne, now a prosperous and wealthy mad, sent for a young niece of his from the cdtintry to preside at the counter of his establishment, a very beatrtiful girt, whose charms, joined to those of tier uncle's cash tiooft, soon caused to be surrounded by suitors ot a station lar r.oovo ujr own. une Of those, a young man of raok'tind fortune, having urged his suit on the uncle, was *" accepted byhiin ; and theaold cook nnnounced to his pretty niece that she was soon to become Madame Thibaudnud, and Would-kayo a carriage, a beautiful house, eashtuere shawls, and servants. "I am in no haste to marry; I am very Tiappy with dear uncle," replied the niece "I detest M. Thibaudand, and want nolw the line things you promise me." "And what should she want of^lhem?" interposed Baleine's head cook, a hand- : ttorao young fellow, as merry as ..a cricket, putting in Ins word to the great displeasure of his chief. "Ma'amscllo Pcrrette is: quite good looking euotl^h to do without j diamonds !"

English Retribution in India. i The time will certainly arrive when a tre' inendous inquisition will be held on the un[ paralleled atrocities which darken tlie pages .... ?....! ...:?t i i Jjiiyuuiu IIIUOI illlU ?HI >|?iiiu IIU ! labor, no cost, no military force, no judicial IJ | vigor that may l>c required, to hunt down 1 i the perpetrators, aud award them the penalty of their crimes. In this instance we 1 have to make examples that shall never die 1 or decay in India memory* lint for the pros ent wo must suppress our indignation, and stop to reason on these narratives. The comments that we make we feel cannot be disputed by the most captious envier of our | i Indian greatness. In many cases the native i soldiers, even when conspirators,and waiting ! the opportunity, have acknowledged the | kindness of their ISritish otllcers,and pro- ( 1 | tecled them from violence, even at the same ' risk to themselves. Our personal relations] thus camo out clear. ' { We have only been too confiding; we , ' have left even loo much to the native olK- j ! cers, anil given them too substantial an in- , ' dependence. They feel this. Ilenco we ' read in one instance of their giving the ] 1 British office's and other residents several , 1 hours' law, offering them the means of es- 1 cape, allowing them to carry off their pri- ' vato property, and even giving them money or moimting guard at their houses to pro- | ' tectthem from chance violence. Such par- ; 1 ticulars arc important to the defence of mir 1 India rule, for that rule has been a military 1 one, and we only hold the country as tlie I Romans once had Britain. Whence, tfien, I ' these hideous attractions: boat loads of fugitives shot down, dragged ashore and 1 butchered in heaps? Whence the propor- 1 lion of victims at most of the stations?; The answer has its consolation. Sometimes < a few aggrieved Sepoys, against the feeling ' and resolution of the regiment, have taken j 1 the opportunity of the confusion to nssassi- ' nate the objects of their personal dislike. Everywhere, as a natural and inevitable consequence, the prison doors have been > thrown open, and thousands of acla.*s which ; is found everywhere, and nowhere in ureal- i cr numbers and depravity than in India, have broken loose, to follow their brutal . passions and wftge a natural war with the i maintainors of order. Sometimes a pretender on the Mahoinedon law of adoption j has carried out his sancuinarv eodunn n-crv , 1 f- J - ' " ? - * ? J , man, woman and child of the intidvl race j that camc within his roach. Sometimes a i wandering mass of mutineers have taken a ! ' wanton Vengeance on a crowd of I'ritish j . fugitives happening to come in its wny. | These are all incidents of social chaos. (Jen- ! ' orally the influence of personal relations has 1 had a counteracting tendency. No doubt, I 1 the Hindoos have only those feelings for us i 1 altogether tljat the subjugated usually have ! ' towards their rulers; and no doubt the j j Mahomcdans have only those still more .i _. ji.- 1 . , . > : < umui ictmiys initb inu usually : have towards their supplanters. Tlio relig- ' ions and race# nro against us. This we cannot help, llut wo submit that these I narratives, heartrending as they are, throw I ' a favorable liglit upon our personal relations ; with the people. 1 But we will put a question or two suggested by these details. Can anybody deny that India requires a rule to win the affections of some; to suppress the eforcity of others; to control religious murderers and ' religious robbers; to arbitrate between a creed o f exclusion and a creed of extermination ; to harmonize into one nftliitf.il ' 1 1 ,?" * 1 I whole races of hereditary soldier?, hereditary | priests, J/ereditasy manslavery, hereditary j ' plunderer?, and other races as distinct in I ' their character as they were in the days of j , Alexander? Is it not for the interest of civilization and humanity that we who have j 1 this charge, and can show pre-eminent I I claims to it, should grasp it and maintain j it with the whole strength of thejempire ? ( 1 Who^tfso is there, that 4)as his" fix>t on Indian-soil, who can keep down this volcanic J ( mass of criminal tendencies ) "NVIio else j can ever guard the prisons that have just . vomited out their thousand?, to the terror of the community ? Who else can keep J ! me uignways open, and prevent tho necesi- ' ty of resorting to byways! . Even at this crisis wo feel sure that if the ; , j wholo Presidency of Bengal could be polled j ? tbe return would l>o in our favor. Terrible 1 t as the blow has been to us?to those who j rend of massacre after massacre of their | , countrymen, and have too much reason for I j fen'ring that their friends are among the : , victims?jpe have no doubt the victims has ' , fallen quite as severely on tho civil popula- .

' - -m Tho Restless and Dissatiofiod. The following is, no doubt, a true picture. It illustrates iti a forcible manner tho restleas and dissatisfied spirit which exists in the minds of many of our young men. They ore impatient, impulsive and eager for change, and hence they wander from place, to plate, and rarely fix tipon a permanent home. Enterprise is every way commendable, but a disposition to change on every i trifling occasion is frui:ful of much care, J anxiety and misfortune : A young man of modernto fortune and j nbilily goes West, finds a field for specula- ! tion, makes an investment, soon finds him- j self in need of a partner to share his fortune ?in prospect!?returns to the laud of con- ' liuuance, holds up in blight array the beauteous landscape gilded bv the imaginary lucre which come between the organ of; vision anil every object the speculator be- ; holds. The lady catches the inspiration, is , ready to be endowed by all his worldly ; goods, mid soon sets about preparing to ! leave a home that has never known change | since she was born.

A i nice little house is soon fitted up with the j most assiduous care ; the grounds around their dwelling laid out and planned, perhaps by herself, little dreaming she is planting irees for stranger hands to rear. Time rolls on ; each nook and corner has become dear by some fond association. J'lie | taste and elegance displayed have only served to attract tho eagle eye of some later speculator who has been attracted thither, j and already marked it for his own. r?oon me g?"i oiiereii ; I lie liu>-liaiid i hesitates ; morejjoM isoll'ered; the bargain consummated, and away i*o house :in<l home!

He 111inks best to.sell oil" the heaviest articles of funiilure, as tliey will bo cuiitbrous to move.
