Those of our readers who have ever seen acted, or have read, the beautiul miodern drama of Sir Edward Lvtton Bulwer, " The Lady of Lyons," will find in the hollowing thrilling sketch, the foundation of that popu e lar play: I was born in one of those Iit.ile hamlets _ situated in the neighborhood of Montetlart, e in the So uth of France. My father ha- made many a fruitless effort to raise himself above a indigence. His last resource in his old age arose from the exercise of a talent which he had acquired in his youth. that of bellowhs mending, This. too. was the humble profess n ion which I desired to follow. Rein" en dowed by ,'nature with quick andr with liveli - faculies of both mind and hody. I soon grewy skilliwu in mny trade. and having an ambitiois spirit. set ofi for Lyons to proseceute my call , ing there. I was so far succesfuil that I be 'i camne i great favorite wit:. chamberinmanl, iwho were my chief employeri, and whom imy good looks and youth interested in iv L favor. One evening, however, as I was returning home after imy day's round, I was acrcosti. by fo,iur w,'il-dressed vouig nen. who threw aot a fviw pleasantries on my profession, which I answered in a style of onod humored railery that seemed to surprise and pl'ase them. I saw them lo .. sigmlicaa'ly at one anoth r. and heard t'rrm say. -this is our Smain. The words ali ni rd ime, but my fears were epedily dIissipaed. SRhiperon,. said one, ' you shall sup withli us.

Preserving the strictest possible secrecy. the coifederates did their best to transform n.e .rum a plain bellows mender into a fine geI tieman.

Toiiouhtles s of all els-e I felt the deeper, ii delight in acquiring thee new rudi:n'7' :s iof .education. But the time cami wtiev ir 1 was i to ,be made sensible for the first time, of t:e a task I had entered iupon. The cotederate, at length thoujht me perti,:t and in the character of the rich Marqirs of Rotiperonl, a proprietor of the large estates in Dauphiny, I was installed in the first hotel ill Lyons. It was under this title I presented m.ynelf to t ' the picture dealer in St. Dominic street. I mad- a few porchaises from him. -rid seemed r anxious to purchase more. After a little in tercourse of this kind, he sent ine uord one i morning that he had just received a superb iollection of engravings from Rome. and f abe hgel me to call and see .hem. i did so. iand was received. not by hint, but by Amira. This was the first sight I had got of that I lovel. girl, and for the li.t time in my life my }oung and palpitating heart felt the power of beauty. A s:ew world unfolded itself before my i eyes; I soon forgot my borrowed part; one sevitiment absorbed my sotrtone idea en chained my faculties. The ltir Aurra per ce-vetl her triumph. and seemed to hliste with complacency to the incoherent express ions of passion which escaped my lips. That a interview fixed my destiny forever. he te intoxication of enjoying her presence hurried r me on. blind to everything else. For s-ve- r ral months I saw her every day, and enjoyed I a state of happiness only dampened by the i self-acusing torments of solitary hours, a.li -d of the necessity I was under of regularly i. ; t nct ,:g my ,mployers, who furnished mi with noiner .j, we.l and everything I could r:lquir , At enwth Aur,,ra:s lather gave a tite jii the coruntry. of which I was evident !-v th, h:ero. A mnlient occurred in which, tlhiu'ghties of all bitt myv loe. I threw mv self a suitor at her feet. She heard ine with irodehst dignity. waile a tear of iov. which dimnimed for a roment her fins eyes, con vin.,ed me that !ride was not the oitnl emilti!n which a_ itated her heart-ves.

As they hat driven me out of my former .iieans of :ivthIibro I conceived myself at ne liberty to accept a sum which they otfircd Lid me to enter into trade with.

The tea en I ravers, who were the cause of ail that had passed ! It was indeed a day oft pride to rme, when I heard Aurora thank them for the ihappiness, which, under the agency of a won der working Providence. they had been the omeansof conferring upoo her. uteuctng a Swelling. The case we are. about to relate happened in the practice of an old physician in our acquaintance. It illustrates in a ludicrous manner the power of the imagination in con juring up phantoms of disease. which vanish into the air when the truth becomes known. Deacon B- was a very good man, aind ia very tair farmer. Being- connstitutiona!ly sensitive to the cold. it was iis custom in cold sserther. to wear two pair ou thick woolen torckings o' each toot. One day he was startled on putting on his setond boot to discover that it was quite im possib!e to get it on. This was the most rerar kable since he found no difficulty in getting on the other; iii alarm he pullei offi the first and perceived at once that one foot appeared smaller than the other. To an apprehensive man like Deacon B. this was sufticiently alarming. He concluded at once that he had beern I bitten on the foot, p-rhalps by a rattlesnrrke, this was the cause of its swelling so fright fully. "Run quick for the doctor." said he groan ing with apprehension. "I am afraid its all over with me. Tell him to come immedi- t ately. It's a matter orrlife and death."' I Catching her husband's alarm, the good i wife hastened with all speed to the doctor, and told him that her poor husband was in a dreadful state, and might not be alive when they got back. t Oi course the doctor made all haste to the deacon : dwelling. Arriving there. he found the poor man sur- r veving his doomed limb in the most woe begone Inanner. t "lDoctor." said he, "I have sent for you t though I don't expect you can do much for rme. I am afraid it's all over with me." "What's the matter ?! inquired the doctor anxiously. "Just look at the foot, doctor. See how it is swelletd. It's nearly twice as large as the b other, and its's keeping on swelling. Whilte mry wilfe has been gone I have watched it t crow larger." s This was no doubt a figurement of the a Deacon's. for the limb was not one particle o larger than it was when his wife hadt de- c parted, "Let me see it.'' said the doctor. He pressed upon the swelled limb and a thought it felt ra'her peculiar. A "I can torm no opinion of it till the stock- 5 i rngs are stripped otT" said he. v He accordtinly piroceedred with great care fr to put roff the first stocking. g "'1 lways wear two." exclaimed the Dea con as he marked the doctor's look of sur prse. t "Andr how many more ?" querred the lat- it ter. as after taking off two,. one was found tl remaining.i al A light flashed across the Deacons darkenedr mind, as snat:hing the lirr fromt the doc- tl tor, hbr hastily proceeded to strip the other It vas as he anticipated. The two pairs -tockiirgs had been unequally distributed- ti lone ha ! been placed on one foot and three on tt the other. Hence the increased size of the h latter. Lt I Lr.xi, Ga.tenR.--Mr. Editor: I have m been sen.ling my dater Nancy to school to a of cholmrnaster in this neighhorhoocl. Last rr; Friday I went over to the school just to see ie how Nacv was getting, ant I sees things el i didn't like Ib an means. The schoolmas teur awas in r hire hier ihhiigs entirely out of the lie ol edtdvc;,tiun, and as I think im, roper. I set a while in the schoohouse and he,:rd one s class say ther lesson. They was a spellen. d and I thot spellen quite exceedingly Then 1 inm Nancy's turn to say her lessn. She si sail it vcer sp v. I was shot ! and deter h mined she shouit leave that senool. I have i heerd that that grammer was an uncommon fine study. lint I dont want eny more gram it mar about my house. The lesson that Nancy a said was nothing but the foolishest kind uv e talk. the ridiciles iuv talk you ever seed. - She got up and the first word she said was y I love ! a I looked rite at her hard for doing so im Sproper, but she went rite oni and said: it Thou loveat, e He loves, y and I reckon you never heerd such a rigger e mvrole in your life-love, love. love, and t nouthin but love. She sed one time, I did love. d Ses I. 'who did von love ?" The'i the e scholars laffed. but I wasn't to be put offand v seld "who did you love. Nancy ' I want to s know-who do vou love ?: The schoolmas d ter, Mr. McQuillister, put in and sed he wood l explane when Nancy finished the lesson - If This sorter pacitied me and Nance went on t with awful love talk. It got wus and wus Ievery word. She sed. I might. could or wou'd love. 'I stopped her agin and sed I reckon I wouldh see about that, anti told her to walk out of Sthat house. The schoolmaster tried to inter fere. but I wouldn't let him sav a word. He I sed I was a fool. arid I nockt him down andl 1 made him holler in short order. I taukt the Sstrate thing to him. I told him id'e show him how heede larn my dater grammar. s I got the vahors together anti we sent Mr. - McQuiilisteroff in a hurry, and I reckon thaer he, no more gramer teachin in these parts soon. If you know of eny rather oldishman a in your regeen that dount teeefr , r, we would be glad if you would im nup. But in the footure we will 1h 'eerful how - we employ men.

G AMBLING. d A DIALoCRE tETW.'%C:F SAMUEL I~D JaOHsP. e Samuel, Come, lea e ,ur top. and let's go Sanlr toss buttons. Brother John won e4ier at e many the othel day, and he said be shot :; have had more, but the boys got to fight( and broke up. JhTeph, fMy father does not think it rig to plav so. and he told me never to do it. S. Where's the harm of tossing up wig r buttons, 1 wonder ? s J. He says, the boys that play so with - tons. soon learn to toss up cents; and tN they learn to cheat and steal to get cents play with, and as soon as they grow bigia they play cards and gamble, and get into tho penitentiary; and that it often happens that 1 they tight, and sometimes the one kills the' other, and comes to the gallows. S. How does he know all that ' J. He says he knows grown up men that have gambled away all theirmoney, and that Sthey began in this way. And he told 'ne i about apprentice boys, that stole money fros r their masters to play cards with. He says, if yo, see a boy tossing buttons. the next thing will be cents, and then you'll hear of his playing cards, and then of his stealing money to buy lottery tickets. S. I wish 1 had a lottery ticket. I heard the other day of a man that, drew a prize of twenty thousand dollars. I suppose that was wrong too, wasn't it ? I. Y need not laugh, Sam: father says buying lottery tickets is gambling too. and that people ought to work and attend to their business, and do what the Bible tells them, and they will get enough. He says boys that trvfto get money by pitching cents, and: lotteries, and such things, lose their char acters, and grow tricky and lazy, and. if they do not break right off, always come toi a bad end. S. Well, I know a great many boys tHs do it. J. Are they steady, honest boys? Do they never cheat? Would you trust any of them with money if you had it ? S. I don't know-I can't say I would. I. I)o they never fight nor swear ? S. Why I can:t say but they do. J, Do they go to school and to church ? S. I do know some schollars that pitch buttons and cents too. J. None of our schol do so; our teacher tells us how wiong it is.. He says he did see one or two scholars the other day at it among a parsel of boys, and be was ashemed of them. and toad them they would lose their characters. S. How so? J. He says that a boy's character is not worth much that is seen in such company.- And he hopes, now they are told of it, they will not do so again. Now tell me, Sam, when you pitch cents and lose, do von not feel as if you would do almast any thing to get more to begin again ? S. Well. I do, to be sure. J. And don't vou think thatV young men that play cards :-:,d other such games, feel iunt so too ? And if they are in a store, and their master's money is where they can get at it, wouldn't they take some ? S. I don't know but they would; perhaps they might. J. I heard, the other :ay, of a very young man. who was clerk in a store in NeW Yor k who took so i.uch of his master's money thrt at last he was found out. and for fearof the shame and punishment, he ran off. and has not been heard of. No. Sam; I'll not go and play any such plays with you, it is quite wrong, and con. teary to God's Word, and nothing but si4 and trouble will come of it. So, if you wi stay among boys that do so, you and I m us part. Good bye. Cor ryRv PAPERS--THIEIR USE..-Counts,, e papers are of much more use than people iin agsne. They very materially aid in directing pub lic attention to matter in which every citizen of the country is more or less interested. They contribute in a variety of waysto the formation of public opinion on subjects of public interest. They furnish very convenient mediums for the disussion of questions of local interest. They aid in givingeharact r and importance to the county m which they are poulished. They stimulate a taste for reading, and die. seminate. in the course oSone year, . vast amounut of useful inforini on, much of which would not reach a portion of theirt readers through any other channel. They are of essential use in a family, in, fostering a taste for reading asnong children. Country papers enjoy an advantage in this respect over papers published at a dis tauce, because many of their articles are of a local interest, which naturally attracts a childin attention. 'The advertising columns are particularly attractive to this class of readers. Country papers, by the local informationa they contain are often the means of drawing new and valuable citizens to the country Ia whieh they' are published. They are of essential service in publishing various items of local intelligence in which the citizens are more or less interested, but:ý. of which many Would remain nainforin.ed were it not for these papcs. In ishort, country, papers, in a variety of ways, add to the chatracter intelligence and prosperlt' of the county in which they are published ; and therefore hav strong claims for support upon all whh are edieety or indi rectly benefitted by them. As to the objection we not anfrlquently hear charged against the supJot of country papers. that the price chsa.ed flo them is tit ' high, it may -be replised that the prfce-at which the paper can be afforded depeikldi. mainly upon the number of subscribers., T'hi chief expenses in the publication of a paper consist in settin-g up the matter.
