RUPERON, the BELLOWS MENDER
1 OR, THE
MAlIIAGE CRUCIBLE.
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. W'e hae a scheme wiich nlay do .v,

"'Iier great pride and charms hate bePen
equally felt by us all." continued the -pei k:r.
"we hold that he ihas cast a slur Ioth on us
auiI on our protession. We, theretore, have
re.Ilved to show this disdainful girl that sihe
it has not iiilee been born to the honor of

on. faddre.-sing me.) venture to become the
hi-wandl of a charming woman, who, to at
taii perfection. wants ontly her pride morti
s fled. andl her vanitiy punished .'
"Yes." I answered, spurred on by the ex
citPment of the moment: "I criprehendl

reaýon to blush for your Ipil :p
The three months which followed this
straige scene. were whoilv occupied with
preparation for the part I was to p.form.
Preserving the strictest possible secrecy. the
coifederates did their best to transform n.e
.rum a plain bellows mender into a fine geI
tieman. Bathing. iiair-dressers. &c.. brought
my peron to a fitting degree of refin,:nent.
w hile every day one or the of er of the en
: ravers divoted himselfto the task of leach
ing re tnnisie, drawiiri and other are.im!pitih
menls. which nature had fit.uisleil me 'witn a
lilxposition to study, atnd a meinory so reteii
g tive that my fr-iends were astonished at the
pro' -ess of their diciplite.
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. I
disco\ered that I was beloved
I was an imposter. bt! Heaven is my wit
4nes, I deceived her not without remorse.
In b",r pre-ence I rememberretd Hothing but
h,-rsel': but in the stil!rness of solitude. soph
str . an! passio-n di-appeared. leaving a
dri:; prpect;i'e 'etire me. When I

1 turrwd,.I to the curate's, but could learn
no hini of Aurora's retreat, although I be
corn- assir.l that the curate and his niece,
de'p .ing y.s condition, had been the urgent
advi ,.rs o' the step Aurora had taken. I
the i- hastered to Lyons. where the affair had
now crea;ed a sensxation, and saw only the
engra.ers, who. notwithstanding the base
plot which they had through nie effected.
were men of not ungenerous dispositions.
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. They advised
a I e how to dispos, of it at once. and without
t- trouble to me, augriented it greatly.
h, Meanwhile the fther of Aurora had made
v- every preparation fo. "unullini the marriage.
th This could not be done ihot by publicly de
bh tailing the treachery which haid been prac
n- ticed. Never. perhaps, was a cqint-house
imore crowded than that of Lyonrs. on the
I day which the case was heard. Atrorra her
ietf appeared, and rivited tihe evyes of all
t. present, not to speak of my oiwn. Unknown
e. and unseen I shrunk into a corneroke a
t ilty thing. The counselof Aurora -tatedj
j the rase, and pleaded the victimp's cauisewith !
a ai much eloquenice as to #raw rears irom
i mny eves. No counsel arose for mit and
- Aurora. who nerely sought a di-rce. with
n out inflicting that p,inishromet which she;
- might easilv have bhroght dtowne n 'he offrn
- der, would at once have gained the suit, had
r not one tman ariser to spea k for me. t was
·oof Lthe i gravycr the only orn who had
I been rei ,ed as ,onried by Aurora. lie

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

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. One thousand
