The ndvcntijfr.ws Jenkins' Jicin of a unmewltut uspicious diapusilion, feared foul play; an I, when tho appointed hour arrived, went to tho matrimonial office with a six shooter, well loaded, in lh pocket, more than half expecting, to defend himself against a halfdo7.cn robbers mid assassins. Hut the encmv ho encountered was not of this kind. Ho was introduced to a young woman with black eyes nul hair, p'Mi ly tooth, delicate hands, line form and intelligent ' '!thcr 1,!T'' Wnie face. Her drcs was appropria 10, and her manner modest.

Her wit and in tolligcnc tirprisi'd und plvnttotl him. no lata no more idea or marrying than llrigham Young uf living single, and began to wish from tho bottom of his heart, that ho wu out of the affair. , Tho twain talked on until Jenlln bo caino nwnro that ho was expected tb broach tho mam subject but how to do it WflJ a problem, lie resolved, howcr cr, to tell her frankly that ho was thcro merely from curiosity. JIo opened in t! h way : 'Mrs. (naming tho broker,) keeps n matrimonial muco, it 8ecmn. it U a novel idea, und her advertisement made A I .VI . ' ! me curiouv" Tho unknown beauty blushed charmingly. Tho glow which ovcrxnread her check was, Indeed, hit.' IS it t it lattcu only n moment. Sho replied, "Yen 1 neo tioharm hi It." I would not hnvo mj undo know I n:u hero !'or unything in tho world; ho could novor understand it. I havo plenty of acquaintances, but littlo Hympathy. I am well nwnro what tho conventionalitiet of tho world require; I am nUt nant that a woman 'it happinest in often Kitcriliced to them. I havo re.nolved in tili extent to break through them, and never marry until I love." "Love, unrely" replied tho half ciplivated arid philosophic Jenkins, "iM the essential clement of happing, und I fancy that marriage, without it would ho nn itttolcrublo hurdon." "I camo here," responded Mudemoi. K'lle, -not becau!o J am ignorant of what belongs to n modest woman, but because 1 believe there i nothing wrong or Immodest in doing no, and thinking that I might m.'Ct with what has thin) far in lifo lhvn denied mo Ihr?

Tell lue ir," replied the enehanling d unkel: tell me il you can le-pecl me ju-t as miicii n though you had n.e! me at Saratoga nr Newport, an I nought, ah iull'idiK'li'.ui." 'It mailer, little whore wo find n jewel we pri.'," was tlie gallant ivplv ui tin g'tuani .leiiuins.

Sho -eeiits honest and modi'st, though I don't understand how u really modest, woman, could gn to mich u place; Mill rdio might perhaps. I did as mm h it telt her I thought it was not Immodest when I asked to call upon her. I don't think I ought to have done no; I am miro it was wrong. I won't go that' the cheapest way to get out of it. Yes, I will go." Jonkim vn nwnycd by conflicting emotion lor ttomelhing moro than twenty-four hours .sometimes firmly resolving not to call, and again in de tcrminud to go. Finally, when the time came, ho Murtcd without liesita ton. He fotin I Delia (ohe called herself; In n very rm;ieclnblo Inui-o, richh fur nMied. Ho was introduced to thsn clo" as an old acquaintance whom tdio had met at tho watering-place. The evening nscd very p!e:.antly pleasantly indeed, that Jenkins, without thinÜtig precisely what ho was about, promised to call again, which ho did two cTCt.ings later. He now observed that his new friend appeared much embarrassed. Sho did not unver :uid JenkitiH w alk ..,1 a li. door. Sho fol owe wit ! 'est tating steps, but finally Pci.vd him frantically by tho hand, and drawing him back, stammered lather than spoke as follows : You sir you ack If you shall call again.

"I trust I can appreciate what you w ish to say; and if I can bof servico to you in an)j way, you havo only to phow lue how.

I his last Mpcoch was Interlaided with an inttnito number of Highs, nnd np )caranteM of fainting; and no ooncr was it concluded than mio fell fainting towards tho bewi'dered Jenkins. Of courso there was no alternative, and he aught her in his arms, and mado va rious frantic attempts to rcstoro Iir; and as ho thus performed Ins kindly offices, In camo tho undo, of a Hidden, ol'owvd by a young man ho had not bofore soon.

In his letter from Mount Vernoo. he writes: ' I nm now, I bolievo, Used in lh:s H:'.t, und I hopo to find more bap pines In retirement than I ever exoe rlenced In tho widoand bustling world." This was a deliberate purpnuo with nun llio rest: It ot enduring inclina tions. Throughout tho whole courso of In career, ntrricultural lifo appears to hnvo been his brau ideal of existence. whbh haunted his thoughts, oven amid tho Kern diitien of tho field, and to which ho recurred with unflagging In terest, whenever enabled to indulgo his natural bias.

Tho F.nglish peasantry are not superior to that of other countries in proportion. Tho peasantry are in all countries the best classes, butKuglMi gentlemen and iioblemwti certainly far exceed in honorable feeling the same dasses in other countries, whereas the Spanish und Freiidt peasants are as good fellows as those iu Fngland; not so independent, however, because no news paper will expose the oppressor and report tho poor man's suileiii gs. What-,-er evils .pring from a free press will, in tho long run, be remedied by u free prist. No other instiiulion can say this, nur has any other so few evils to correct. In all things huir.au there exists a perfect arrangement, a truth, because tied creates not itiipvrl'atioii.. I speak ns a believer not in a sceptic. 1 he universal search after this truth is best a", led by fieo press, which silts and sills till it' reaetie the le-ired point; and it unites talent and d illness, I ad passions and good passions, prejudice and sound judgment in the pursuit. Whoever tifst hit tho train gams nt enco mi nwendanev over his opponents however feeble bo may be, because a thounnd pens of power start up to aid him. In ft word, a live press is an emphatic term for uncasing inquiry, unceasing pursuit ol trath and right, unceasing exposure of Wt'on. -Sir Ctirtm
