She glanced towards mc her cheeks in dented with the mo'-t fascinating dimples iu the wurld nodded assent, but made no oth er reply. A ling pause ensued, during which my half-clo-ed eyes were fixed dreamily upon her, and I was meditating what to say. At last 1 lire ke out with what I did not, a mo ment before, intend to say.

" Humph !" I stopocd short, for I did not know how to proceed. What could she mean? Af ter vainly puzzling mysolf in silence, for some time, I g ive up the task, well knowing that I should soon hear her meaning from her own lips.

She seemed so fearless hi regard to 1 the matter, that I felt no hesitation iu draw-. ing out the whole affair. At last, with a natural turn to the con- vcrsation, Mrs. Granger exclaimed : " Pray Mr. Urcugle, what do you think is the most proper penalty for reealing the little secrets of a friend ?" . " Apply the cr talionis, of course." " In all cases, without any exception" she inquired doubtfully. " I know of few cases where that law ought not to apply. Hut speak plainly, for you mean something. " Do not blame mc then, lor remember, you have asked ma to do it. As lor you, Fannie, 1 have no fear that you can dnro to open jour mouth. The fact is, sir, that I am strongly disposed to tell a storv of your wife." " am all attention. Pray proceed." And without farther preface, she play fatly commenced her story. Fannie was fourteen and I fifteen, when we were room-mates, and of course, inti mate friends, iu a boarding-school of this city. Her young life was one long frolic at that age, as you can ery well Imagine, from seeing her now, when she has sobered so slightly. So those thought who saw her in her cvery-day character only, but her friends well knew that her joyousuess was only the language of a warm and high heart. You are blushing, Fannie, and I'll stop. Your husband needs no information as to your dis position. My own temperament was very different. One day we were allowed to ramble iu a beautiful wood, iust out of the citv. 1 bc- lieve, bir, that Fannie has told you some few, particulars of that walk, but she did not tell ! you the whole that happened tons. She j left that part to inc. Ao we were sauntering along in a delight-1 ful path, we came under a large, noble tree, I so refreshingly enticing iu its shade, that we j sat down at once on a pile of soft moss, and began to chat. Hardly a dozen words had been said, before wo heard a rustling in the i tree above, and then a rmigh voice calling tons. Wc started to fly, but the owner of , the voice was too quick for us, and before we could escape, he swung down from a ' lower limb, andstood directly in our way. ! " Hallo ! girls. Don't be frightened, and j make fools of yourselves now." " We said nothing, but looked upon the young monster with perfect horror. I speak I for myself, at least ; for Fannie always de- j clared there was nothing very frightful, only a little negligence in his appearance. There. was something, however, which made him a now character to both of us. The hoy was j about our own age, with nothing very re-j ptilsivc in the expression of his face, but' then ho was dirty, anil so awfully ragged a real young cub that in heart sank with- in me, and I almost would have fallen, had ! not Fannie put her arm around my waist, ' and summoned up the utmost strength of!

As the boy held out to her a tiny nesl,i full of prettify speckled eggs, he actually wore through all his rough raggedncss the earnest uir of a suitor, making his first oiler to the beautiful shrine ho would fain worship. This, and the real meaning of his words showed us, that ho had a largo heart, uncul tivated and run to waste. Both of us were immediately a littlo reassured. In fact, Fannie felt somewhat pleased at this comi cal expression of his rudo admiration, and spoke to him with loss severity than she would other wise have used.- Ucr woids poured forth quickly, and iu tlio deepest flush of earnestniws. I admired her iu that ultitudo, almost as much as did the wonder stricken boy himself.

I really don't know what to say," claimed Fannie, in some perplexity. " cs, there it is! I thought so." " I don't know much about it, but I would learn if 1 were iu your place. You may take this for certain, that there have been poor boys who set themselves hard at work upon any thing at first and have become gre -.tinen. There's Dr. Franklin, now ho was a poor printer's boy once. There's Roger Sherman ho was a shoemaker when ho was young " " No, no, Fannie," I whispered, " I hap pen lo ktr&v that the common sViry is wrong here.

" Now I really wish you knew a little j more about how to begin," said he thought-1 fully, " but perhaps I may as well tako your word for it, and learn for myself. I'll do it! I really believe I can, and III begin this very day.

" Well, this h an odd adventure. Only lliiuk of your talking half uu hour with a ragged street boy I" " I am not borry for it," replied Fannie, quietly. " You have no cause to be sorry for it," said 1, rather warmly ; and then, after a pause "Only think, Fannie, if this savage young Orson should turn out to boyour Val entine at last 1" . " Pshaw, Carrie 1 you don't know what you are saying. Let us drop the subject. I wonder, though, if we cvft- shall hoar of htm again. Don't you hope so ?" " Certainly," said I, ajid then wo tulked of something else. Tho first part of my story has been so Ion?, that I must hurry over tho rest, and let Fauuio's letters tell it all iu a few words. Several years pissed by. Fannie had re ceived one or two notes from this reclaimed Orson, repotting his grudual success, but lliey are iu her own possession, and 1 can not show lliciu to you. OneJetter that sho wroto to mo, wlulo I was iu Vera Cruz, will bo enough to cxpluiu every thing, and I'll wind up my story with that, 1 have some others here, giving the subject a passing mention from time to time, but none so full as this. As you will 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 ollicc just one hour 1 " Dr.Au Caiihik Just now I am in sail perplexity, and though I know that all will bo settled in one short hour, I cannot help sitting down and making you a sharer iu my troubles. And to puuih you for your long silence, 1 hall send you this letter before the cause of my perplexity is remotcd, so that you will remain iu suspense until you make yourself entitled to an answer and an explanation. If you take any interest in my allairs, this may secure me a letter from you before many days are over.

Our Orson has become a Valentine! " But I cannot jest on this subject. To mo it is full of perplexity, not but that the course is sufficiently plain, but it is hard, and I do not know howtosmouth its rough ness. He speaks with arrogance, but truth fully. His words have oven waked an echo in my heart, but not of love. You know that 1 am engaged to (" I omit tlio name, Mr. Brengle," said Mrs. Granger " you well know tho gentle man.") " And that I cannot, would not break that engagement. I don't wish to see this new suitor. Why could he not have shown himself a year later or earlier I " Good-bye. T'can't write any more. In fact, 1 cannot do anv thing, just now. F.vxNin." This, sir, is all that 1 know. Fannie never would tell mc the rest, but always put it oft' by saying that I should know the se cret at the right time. Now, I suppose that jou are convinced that it is not the spirit of uicro retaliation that prompts me to tell this story of your wife. Sho never loved this Orson, though she reclaimed him from vice and degrada tion. I have told it, sir, that you may bet ter appreciate the prize which you havo se cured. "Thank you, Mrs. Granger. I suppose now, that it is no more than fair for mo to tell my story also. Yon may find it some what interesting." " Do you not understand mo as calling for it," she replied quickly.

A moment iiltcrward another native came with the ad ditional statement ; " the lady is dressed iu , , ' hnglish clothes, anil says, in your language, I will you give me a little water ?" Dr. Wright, whoso curiosity and astonishment could hardly bo otherwise than highly excited, by the announcement of a lady in European costume, speaking English iu tlio. street, at night, and unattended in this remote bar barous land, where the appearance of a European man is a thing of very rare oc currence, soon had occular proof of what his ears wore so reluctant to admit a bona t ii i. -i. i.:.. fide European Lady standing before hhuv having a letter for Mr. Stocking from an acquaintance of his at Mosul, which intro duced to us M.idamc PfeifTor, of Vienna, who had performed tlio circuit ofthe world thus far, alone, and was now hastening to ward her home. Who then is Madam Pfeifler? She is a German lady, fifty years old, of great intel ligence and most perfect accomplishments, and to appearance thoroughly sane on every subject, unless it be her stylo of travelling, which is, at least, somewhat peculiar. Madam Pfeifler, leaving her husband and her two sons, (one of them an ollicer of but finding she was obliged to protect him, she left him and proceeded alone. From Europe, Madam Pfeifler went to Brazil, where she admired the brilliant flowers and the magnificent forests more than almost any thing else that she has seen, and where shu camo very near being murdered by a black rufilan, who attempted to rob her. She carries scars of tho wounds then re ceived, but slates, with evident satisfaction, thai she had cut oil' three of his fingers iu self-defence, when several persons providen tially came to her rescue. She had intend ed to cross the continent, from Rio to the Pacific Ocean; but finding things in too disordered a state to admit of it, she took passagfc in a sailing vessel at Rio, in which she doubled Cape Horn and went to Chili ; and after a short stay at Valparaiso, sho took passage in another vessel for Tahiti, where she made an agreeable visit, among tho mementos of which she has Queen Po uiare's autograph. From Tahiti our hero ine traveller proceeded to China, where she visited several ofthe points most ncccssiblo to the foreigners, mingling socially with the missionaries there, whom she mentions fa miliarly by name, as Dr. iiridgniau, Dr. Bull, Mr. Gutzlaf, &c.t the autograph of the last named she has iu Chinese. One of the strongest impressions which sho seems to have brought from the " Celestial Em pire," is the imminent insecurity offoreign crs at Canton. From China, Madam Pfeif for went to Calcutta, and from that city travelled over land, across British India, to lionibay, passing through a great variety of incidents and adventures on tho way, and holding much pleasant intercourse with the Protestant missionaries, (though herself born and educated a Catholic") at various stations ami of different nations. From Bombay, Madam Pfeifler went in a steamer lo Bassorah: and thence to Bagdad; and from Bagdad sho travelled in company with a caravan to Mosul, as a memento of which place sho has a sculptured figure ofthe hu man head, taken from the ruins of ancient Niuevah. From Mosul she crossed tho formidable Koordish mountains to Oroom iah, a caravan journey of twelve days, (but protracted in her case, by tedious delays, to twenty days,) in company with a Koordish muleteer, on a route of greater exposure, humanly speaking, than any oilier sho has travelled during her circuit ofthe world. After a visit of one day with us, Madam P. hastened on towards Tabrcez, intending to go-theiicQ through Georgia to Tiflls, and thence across the Caucasus, through Euro pian Russia, to Vicuna, hoping to reach her home about the first of November. The adventurous circumstances of Madam Pfoif fer, during many parts of her lour, invest it with the most romantic and thrilling inter est. Think, for instance, iu her passago across Ihu Koordish mountains, of a savago Koord, pointing to tho tassel on the Turk ish fe? (cap) she wore, to which he lock a fancy, and demanding it of her by tho sig nificant gesture of drawing his hand across his throat meaning, of course, 'Givoino the tassel as you valuo your head;' and she in turn repelling the demand by gestures, unable lo speak to mm a worn orauy, a word orally, m any language ho could underst and.

It is related by Luther, that at on time during the Reformation, so warm a contest arose between the duke of Saxony and one of tho bishops of Germany, that the duke determined to go to war with him. He thought it expedient, however, previously to send out a spy to observe the movements of the bishop. Upon the spy's return to him ho said to him, with much interest, " Come, what is tho bishop doing?" "Oh," ho answered, "you may easily surprise and conquer him, for he is making no prepara tions for warj' " But what docs the bishop say?" "Oh, he says he will continue to feed his flock as before; that ho will preach 1 the Word more than ever; and as to the war, if it take place, he will commit it to the Lord and trust iu him." " Then," said the duke, "let the devil wage war with him; I will not." L Pivrmi 3 : 1013.

Tho Union Forever. GovuiiNoit Crittenden, in his recent mes sage to the Legislature of Kentucky, holds the following patriotic language : If wo would act in tho right spirit, and under tho influence of proper sentiments, we must habitually contemplate ourselves and our State us members ot the groat Na tional Union. It is in and by tho Union that we aro known among the nations of tho Earth. It is in that Union that wo aro res pected iu tlio world. And, under tho joint protection of tho government of the Union and tho government of the States, wo have tho amplest securities that patriotism and wisdom can furnish for freedom and pros pcrity, Tho Union of tho States is not on ly indispensable to our greatness, but It is a guarantco for our Republican forms of gov ernment. With the preservation of the Un ion and tho coustutiou by which it is estab lished and laws by which it is maintained, our dearest interests aro indissolubly blen ded, An experionco of noar sixty years, while it has confirmed the most sanguine hopes of our patriotio fathers who framed it, has taught us its inestimable value. Its valuo will bo abovo all prico to us so long as wo are fit for liberty, and it will fail only when wc become unworthy of it. No form of government can sccuro liberty to a de generate people. Kentucky, situated in the heart of tlio Union, mast, and will ex ercise a powerful influence on its. destinv. Devotion to the Union is tlAj couimon sen timent of the people. I do not know a man within the limits of tlio State who docs not" entertain it. Wc all feel that we can safely. I.. ... - tT .... J reiy upon a union wiucli lias sustained us so triilinoh.iiitlv in ll 1 J umio wi I'VUVU UIIU war; and wo entertain no fears from those who have a common interest in it with our- rity for our rights than that Union and the kindred feelings that unite us with all the i .i.r n . t members of tlio Confederacy. IfthesSscn- may iu me administration ot all govern ments and we must rely upon public opin ion, the basis of all Republican govern ments, for their correction. The dissolu tion ofthe Union can never be regarded ought never to bo regarded as a rcmtcly, but as tho consummation of the greatest evil that can befall us. Kentucky, devoted to the Union, will look to it with filial confi dence, and, to the utmost of her might, will maintain and defend it. We let no medi tations or calculations on any sectional or other confederacy, begurTc us to the point of weakening our attachment to the Union. Our relations and our attachments are with and to all the Slates, and wo are unwilling to impair them by any entangling engage" incuts with a part. We are prouder of our rank as a member ofthe United States than wo could bo of any sectional or geographic al position that may bo assigned us. We date our prosperity as a nation from the a doptiou of the Federal Constitution. From the government that it established wo havo derived unnumbered blessings, and whatev er of evil has occurred iu its administration bears no proportion to its benefits. In proof of the foregoing sentiments we may appeal to our past history. Wc have seen that measures of national policy, which wo consider of vital importance to our wel fare, perish in the conflicts of parties, and other systems, deemed by us inimical to our best interest, prevail. Yet we did not fal ter in our allegiance to our common gov ernment, but waited, with patience, for the development of tho conclusion to which a majority of tho whole nation would ulti mately arrive, after a calm survey and ex perience of what would best promote the public good. Tho administration that is drawing to its close, was not called into ex istence by the vote or wish of a majority of the people of Kentucky. JUany of its most important measures have not been such as wc desired to see enacted. Yet it has met with no other opposition than a manly ex pression of an honest difference of opinion. And when war was declared with Mexico, notwithstanding tho opinion that prevailed, that it might have been avoided bv wise. statesmanship, still Kentucky responded to tho. r.nll nf tlin PrncM.ln... ... . i i.- . i . ... . .v.w,.iii, i nailing 10 ue- bate the necessity ofthe war. but fltlflinrr in the fact that it was declared by the consti tuted authorities of the nation a sufficient claim upon her patriotism.

Tf such has been her action throagh the past year, may we not safely promise that the administration of Gen. Taylor, will receive a cordial support from the State of Ken tucky ? The veteran patriot who has just ueuu uiiosuii in auuunisier trie government jof tho United States was brought to Ken tucky an mtant in ins mother's arms.

SLAVERY. Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, a paper of immense circulation and influenco in tho South, says that the Slave question will not embarrass the administration of General Taylor in the least that the settle incut belongs not to the President and his Cabinet, but to Congress; and to that body alone its settlement will bo left. The same article deprecates, in strong terms, the ar rest of tho Wiliuot Proviso by tho Execu tive veto a calamity which would result in tho most terrible condition of political hos tilities bctweon the North atul South. If any President of the United States wcro to put his veto upon the Wihnot Proviso, tho people of the iion-slaveholding States who have tho supremacy of numbers, would keep the question in agitation until tho next Pres idential election, ami then, by theirstrcngtli as a sectional and geographical party, elect a man who would not veto the Proviso
