I've onhM moment to gireyou, dear Harry,
And to drop you this nit of a note,
Which the Captain has promised to carry
Direct by the four o'clock boat.
The season is certainly over;
Sue (joiners refused Colonel Chute;
llon't swear like a savage sea-rover
Because our affair follows suit.
. 1 only engaged for a season, . ,
' dnre the prlmcst of partners I vow;
' TW tell ymi directly the reason
I'm 'jrrttmf so Hastily now, ;'
Please send me at once by Tom T inhume -His
whiskers are simply divine
My pioture, that cooy of (Swinburne,
And everything else that is mine.
My letters, my notes, and that poem,
The one signed " Vour Veive, " my dear,
I know that you never would show 'em,
But I just want to read them all here. (
Oh I'send me my pink satin slippper,
1 know how to cover the stain
You pulled off and used fur a dipper
To pledge me in ClUuot champagne.
' Anfl Harry, be sure to see Rarker : 1
You would cut my hair off you know,
Ifvou send home halfa'shade darker.
The differeneo never will show.
Hem! ribbon and ring; I think this is
The wholwof the things I must ask,
I'm sure that to mikI back my kisses.
You'll vote an impossible task.
Kow, Harry, don't rage and be horrid
. Don't bluster and swear and abuse
Our love was rteliclonsly torrid ,
' ""To cro'p'it quite gives me the blues. , ' ,
I've viewed It in every direction.
And and in its rapturous range,
A prime, pantheistic perfection.
Progressive, electrical, strange.
"Tet I (now that this bliss unalloyed,'' '
If once T Were bound as your wife.
Would fade in a fortnight, destroyed
By the dullness of no-money life.
And so I've determined, dear Hairy
.As girls of the period do--Aluaugb

'Twill not be, my dearest, to you.
At the various soirees this winter.

I'll answer your letter, my Julia,
For I can take oath yon arc mine;
Its tenor is coolly peculiar.
Though perfectly plain to define.
Its news wan WcstaTled bv a rnmor.
That some friend was so kind as to bring.
And it put me at first out of humor,
And up to unorthodox things.
I bated, you see, to surrender
What gave me snch capital fun,
But I went on a regular liender,

But remembered my wager with Kodman
That Blank will be beaten a hat.
So calling philosophy's aid np,
I nut for aa out-and-out smoke:
And the bender hot Grecian then made up

So I stopped being spoon v. and fussing.

cured ; but at the begining of winter he
was attacked by a series of acute rheu
matisms, and was jn a .conditio of al
most intolerable suffering. His charac

a long time had counted on being joined

"Celie, in a state of distraction, caine
secretly to see my mother, and, address
ing herself to her as to the one who had
been most offended, entreated her to re
sume her visits with her husband, and
with so much grace and persuasion, in
her manner that my parents yielded.
The admiral t first was sufficiently liaj

for me. He thought that we would all
return to him of our own accord. He
had forgotten that without Celie's order
I was forbidden to appear again at La
Canielle.
He became again uneasy, and Celie
wrote to me. This is her letter :
Sir : Will you also come to us, if
you can pardon the injury that I, have
done you? You were like a brother to
me. and as a sister 1 regarded you with
affection and esteem. I must have seemed-
to you unjust and self-willed. But now
that you have forgotten the mortification,
and have other and definite plans of
marriage, do not punish me so cruelly by
exposing me to the grief of having of
fended and amicteu my oeioveu granu-

' WAS alwst wild with joy when

I ran to Celie-, and threw myself

sacrificed my entire life to an ungrate
ful son, 1 have been forced to die under
the roof and in the arms of her whom I
had looked upon as my mortal enemy." '
'My mother spoke for a long time in
this tone, not hesitating to think and say
everything that could lacerate an already
wounded heart. 1 was crushed. I had
not a word to say in my defense, and the
exaggerated character of her reproaches
deprived me of the hope of calming her
by my answer. Besides, I felt profound
ly humiliated to be so treateii in the
presence of Mile. Merquein. , It did not
seem to me that my mother was so seri
ously ill as she pretended, for she spoke
with energy under her attack of fever,
and Celie had not the appearance of one
who was expecting a fatal crisis. She
was. standing aside, in a sad and thought
ful attitude, as if she were endeavoring
to find some means of settling matters
on a more truthful basis. She was, in
fact, thinking of this, for she interrup
ted my mother courteously to beg her to
he calm, and let her have a moment's in
terview with me. She called Bellac and
Old Bertha, recommending them to give
theSnvftliil n soothing drink that she had
prepared, and then made a sign to me
and we descended to the garden.
! " 'Is my mother, then, in danger?' I
said to her as soon as we were alone.
" 'For the moment, no,' she answered.
'Her nerves are irritated, and if I have
permitted her to speak to you in my
piieseae s she has; done, it is because
tiie agitation of sick persons must not be
repressed too abruptly, as you know
yourself, who have so often' seen the
bodily and mental sufferings of my
grand-father, and who have so often as
sisted me in judiciously relieving them.
But you are a man, and it is very neces
sary that you should know the truth.
Your mother has a complaint of the liv
er" which."-threatens her life.- There is
no cause for dispair; you can cure her if
you-,wish. Only no time must he lost.
Take her to Vichy, and do not leave her
for a day. . Abandon your evil pleasures,
forsake your unworthy friends, return
to your ideas of marriage ; try to accept
them yourself , but at all events induce her
to believe that you still cherish them. In
short, change your whole course of con
duct, .sacrifice, yourself, learn to suffer
and endurp''weariness, become another
man from this day, otherwise you will
soon lose your mother, and have a grief
in your heart for the rest of your life.'
"'I will do it,' I answered; 'my in
tention has always been to devote myself
to her, hut it has been harder thau vou
think!'
" -Is he more irritable to you than the
admiral was to me?'
' 'Xo, certainly not ; a word from me
is suilicient to appease her, the least sac
rifice delights her. .You make me blush
by calling the 'difference of our situa
tions, but I have not your stoicism aud
after ail I am not sure that I can admire
it! 'My mother wishes me to renounce
my pleasures, yoijr grandfather demand
ed the sacrifice of your selfish solitude;
the two cases have no resemblance what
ever. You did not yield not you ! You
were perfect in resignation, sublime in
meekness, but as obstinate as a rock, and
he died without having moved you. On
mv side, I am irritable and unaniiablc ;
injustice makes me resentful, and my ir
ritation' reacts upon that ot my poor
mother; but in reality I submit and am
broken. Yes, take my word for it, I
will submit in the most absolute man
ner, I will even marry some rich pup
pet w'VoVlety if1 tltat be necessary to
save my mother. After that I know not
which of us, Celie, will have best ful
filled his task. It is for you to decide in
the depth of your conscience.'
: " 'My.conscience is calm at present,'
she answered with melancholy firm
ness. I have done lor you all that 1
could do; my grand-father could ask no
more.
What, then, have you done?' I ex-
cleaiined.
'I cannot tell you ; somelday vou will
khow.' -' 'i ' . -
'More secrets, more mysteries! Tell
me, in the name ot Heaven, it this is
meant for a trial of nie? Do vou love ine
it little in spite of your disdain? Have
you any intention, any hope, any design
of niaiTving me?'
I love you much and very faithfully
she answered. I can not love vou other
wise than I do, but I can love you more;
and instead ot being a Inend who re-
kproaches you, I can become a sister who
lesteenis vou. That depends on voursslf,
and not on me. Become again what vou

when my host said, with a laugh, '"Look
out! there is Dr. MeClellan ;" and with
that the distinguishd surgeon came bus
tling in. The defeat ef Mr. Clay was
still "keenly felt by the Whigs, though my
generous and genial friend, McMichael,
did not allow his hospitality to be less
because I had opposed him. But Dr.
MeClellan could not restrain his feelings.
He held Buchanan responsible for the
vote of Pennsylvania, and, though most
courteous to me, did not spare the
Wheatland leader. We soon got over
our little difference, however, and closed
the controversy in a glass of wine. The
Doctor possessed rare traits. Abounding
in anecdote and information, he was an
unrivaled wit and conversationalist. His
son. Dr. J. II. B. MeClellan, and his
grandson, young Dr. George, lioth in
fine practice in Philadelphia, have inher
ited his high professional skill, and in a
considerable degree his lively and viva
cious nature.
There is a well-known physician in
Washington, Dr. J. '. Hall, who relates
many incidents of the public men he has
attended in his long and brilliant expe
rience. At the head of his profession,:
he attained old age almost without an en
emy. 1 know no man more universally
beloved. A happy temperament, fine
manners, and a thorough scholar, his
sketches of the leading characters of oth
er days would make a charming volume
if he would write them out. Fond of

he is almost out of practice, and may be
said to live among his friends and his
iiooks. He, too, was an "Old Line Whig"
and shared the feelings, if not the prej
udices, of Dr. MeClellan, whom he knew
and admired, especially as he was a grad
uate of Jefferson College, Philadelphia.
Dr. Hall has known the leaders of both,
in fact of all, the great parties, and was
frequently consulted by them. He at
tended General Jackson on several occa
sioes, though not his family physician. It
is one of the Doctor's peculiarities that
he does not trouble himielf with money
matters, and is careless about collecting
his fees. Once, however, during a tem
porary absence, his clerk made out some
bills, and among others sent one to the
President. On his return the Doctor
lound a note tiom General Jaoksou in
closing a check for the amount, deduct
ing an old charge which had been called
for and settled and for which he held a
receipt. The fact that the bill had been
sent was not less a mortification to Dr.
Hall than the error in the account Itself.
But on looking at the President's check
he found that the General had forgotten
to sign it ! He therefore returned it, with
the expression of his regret that the hill
had been sent, and pointed out the Gen
eral's omission. The check was duly
signed and sent back, inclosed in a note
with this remark :

liable to mistakes. Andrew Jacksox.
Dr. Hall testifies to the old hero's kind
ness to all his people, especially to his
servants. Once "when the small pox
broke out among them, and nearly every
body else fled, the President remained in
the White House, and waited on black
and white with unremitting attention.

There is no reason to expect that the

Marquis of Lome, her husband, will

Lord Lisgar, (lately Sir John Young,)
Viceroy of "the Dominion," has de
elared,with the intention of having the
intelligence accepted as social, that no
such royal avater is contemplated.
Therefore, our mesdames and niadenioi
selles will be deprived ot the anticipated
gratification ot beholding the most ap
proved novelties in the costume of their

State occasions, prefer to be very plainly

"a hop," might very truly declare that
they preferred walking on f;?o feet to
hopping on one. That is the defect of
their education, you see ; they have not
beeu taught to say that a dance is a hop.
Iu general, I repeat, not Royalty only,
but the English fashionable world in
general, dress plainly, except on par
ticular occasions. At watering-places,
especially, they indulge in this simplicity
of attire. If the Princess Louise ever
does visit Canada, certainly, crossing the
frontier to run down to Washington,
through "the Hub," Xew York, Phila
delphia, and Baltimore, it will be found,
I predict, that she has not brought more
thau three or four best dresses with her.
So, on the whole, she would scarcely set
the fashion here.
