THE CANDY GIRL, Or the .TIiri Outwitted. ST J X. TlCKEU. CHAPTER I. ' Ron In ihe poa ollke, Fidelia," said James Quimbv. (who ha I lost In wife, nnd rame near Wing hi own life, by a fne.) an J see if there is ;t letter for me. I perceive by the paper, thai the Great Western has arrived, anJ it is possible Jihat e may have a letter from "ur pour boy. Oh tht he was here to comfort me in my afflictions." The f tiihful girl quickly removed the boil: ng kettle from the foals, ami left her liaily tai-k ofcandy making', to obej her suffering f alters request, aiJ in a short lime relumed without a letter. At ibis announcement fthe afflicted man turned his face from the girl that she miht not witnesi bis grief, and wept, while she in silence resumed hfr task. Having finished it, she went to her father aid finding that he slept, she took her canJv and went nut, a slit had been accustomed to do, to obtain by the sale f it the means of their scanty subsistence. Fidelia was, at this time, some fifteen years of age. She had a brother George about five years younger than herself, who assisted in disposing of her candy. The neat and tidy appearance of Fidelia and George was always a good recommendation to their business, and they readily found sale for what they made. And not a few purchased from Fidelia, more in sympathy and kindness, than from a desire to eat her candy. One place was there especially, at which she always found a smiling purchaser. This was at the village Academy. Robert Videlto was there, the only son of a rich mi ser, w ho had by his success in business, with the aid of a large patrimony, amassed a princely fortune. But aside from w hat lie had bestowed for the education of his son, few were the dollars that escaped his firm grasp- And his greatest anxiety appeared to be, that his son might with pood education, inherit, not only his fortune, but his parsimony and aristocratic pride. But (it w as impossible Robert w as the. most perfect opposite of his father free and generous. lie had learned from his preceptor, that human worth did not consist in the guadv trapping of Jwealth, nor in lineage. And notwithstanding the humble circumstances of Fidelia, he had formed for her a warm attachment, and had reS'lUou at some day, to offer his hand. The frequent expression of admiration of the "Candy Girl," which the old man had heard, were not lojt upon him. He noticed her uncommon beamy and modesty, and knowing the disposition of his son, felt not a little alarmed, lest there should he difficulty in the way of his plans f seruring for him a rich marriage. CHAPTER II. About two years had passed awav; du rinj which time no news had been receiv- j ed of the fate of Charles Quimby, who j was in Lnglaad. lie had written, but Ins letters ha 1 never reached the anxious father. One evening, however, about this time, on going to the pot office, Fidelia saw upon the list, a letter from London, directed to James Quimby, or his daughter Fidelia. On hieaking the seal, she learned with great deli;ht it was from her brother, and contained a fifty pound note, assuring them he was in good business, and intended during the year to visit America. . A now era seemeJ created at on.-e, in the history of the poor family. It was resolved that with a portion of the funds thus timely obtained, as requested by Charles, Fidelia should enjoy the long coveted privilege of attending a seminary. George was already at a trade, where by his industriojs habits, he was enabled, not only o clothe himself, but to contribute in a small decree to the support of his helpless father. There being a seminary of hi'h character in the vicinity, arrange ments were soon made bv which Fidelia; could spend her time in studies, without being absent a Ions lime from her father rmd at evening both George and herself ere at home. Willi lbs assistance enjoyed in her stu dies, from the frequent visits from Robert Vid.'tto, (who notwithstanding the constant prohibitions of his father found frequent opportunities for calling at the hum ble yet always neat and weu arranged collage,) who was an excellent scholar, Fi lehi soon became pn fu-ienl in most languages, and evinced a power of intellect combined w ith a mind and a heart well disciplined lhat produced a great influence upon the mind of Robert, anJ entirely won his heart. And when he had reached his twenty-second year, and Fidelia had quilled her school, being in her nineteenth year, he resolved to consummate his long established purpose of marrying the 'Candy Girl.' This determination wa announced to his father with due formality upon the anniversary of his birth-day. And although the proud father feared as much, yet when the young man ralmly avowed his intentions, it was shocking to his opinions of propriety. For "a moment he sat in perfect silence, with his eves fixed npon his son, a fire evidently struggling lo break forlh in one of those exhibitions of passionate fury, to which he was subject. "Marry that pauper my son, if you will, but remember on that hour that makes you her husband, you shall be made pen niless. I will disinherit yon, and my for tune shall be given to one who can appreciate the distinctions between wealth and poverty. "Be not rash, my father," said Robert, 'Fidelia, it is true is poor but the is a womin of rare qualifications, and will bring happiness into your family. The attachment which exists between us is mutual. It has grown with our youth and promises to render our Ufo eminently happy. I shoujd regrei to injure the feelings of a parent, so kind and so dearly loved, but I cannot think it the duty of a man to be governed in ihe choice of a companion for life, by the feelings of even a father." "Do as you think p-oper my eon but my purpose is fixed. I can never consent to own mvseif the father of a pauper, w hose qualifications are a pretty fare, and a limited education."' So saving he left

the room trembling w ith mortification and displeasure. Upon beinj left alone, Robert calmly gave himself up to acareh.1 contemplation

of the consequence of his purpose. He did iiol wish to incur his father's displeasurenor did he feel willing to resign the object of his only and early love to so tinworthy a caprice: And he resolved to marrv her and meet the consequences. With the education he had acquired, and with habits of industry already formed, he feared not to encounter the responsibilities of life, in poverty. Thus reflecting he sought Fidelia, to whom he frankly disclosed his situation. Instead of producing displeasure, the announcement of the prospective poverty of Robert, van received with delight by the high minded girl. ,-Fow," said the, "an obstacle in the way of our union, w hich has caused me much trouble is removed. I had more fear from your wealth than I fear from poverty. Our circumstances, so unequal before, appeared to demand of me a refusal of your offer. Accustomed to labor, and not unused to the severities of life, I can smile upon adversities so long as I enjoy health and the smiles of Providence. "Noble girl," said Robert, "I feel this moment happier, richer, than were I possessor of three limes my father's wealth." On returning home that evening, a plan wa suggested by the ever active mind of Robert, which he believed he might innocently adopt, and lie had no doubt would succeed. At least he resolved to try. CHAPTER nr. Soon after this interview, Fideiia receiv ed another letter from her brother, apolo gizing for his long delay in visiting them, aeain enclosing ihern fifty pounds and in forming her that he should now defer h visit until he could arrange his affairs for a permanent location in this count t). He had married a lady of considerable wealth and distinction, the daughter of his former employer, wi'h whom he was now m business. The firm intended to open a house in New York, and he wa3 to superintend it. With the assistance thus rendered, the family of Mr. Quimby were amply able to Rpj ear in respectable style, and the tender an xif ties of Fidelia and her brother in regard to their beloved parent, greaily relieved. Suitable help was obtained, and Fidelia so managed her affairs as to spend the summer at Saratoga. This arrangement was only known to hertelf and Robert. And w hen she left her father, with assurance that his comfort would be regard ed by one she left behind, it was believed bv her friends that sho had pone to visit a poor relation in the far West. The announcement of her departure, was received with great pleasure by Roben's father, who soon regained his accu tomed sociability towards his son, as he saw him apparently resigned to his will, and devoting his attention to the numerous admirers (t his wealth.) whom Mr 1 Videito contrived to have introduced to I him. ! i l One aliernoon in July, as Robert and his father were enjoying a short ride a mong the green bills of their vicinity, the old gentleman ventured to question him on the subject which had given him so much uneasiness.' "I have about concluded," said Robert, "to seek a wife in accordance with your ow n views of propriety. It would be grief to me to mar the happiness of my fa ther although I think you were greatly I 1 . -L . . .. f luisiBKen in regard to me worm ol .uiss Quimby." "No doubt she was amiable, and w onld have made you a good w ife," said Mr. Videtto, "but I could not have been recon ciled to so unnatutel an alliance. And, besides, my son, I doubt whether your wwn experience win not yet satisty vou of ihe propriety of what may have ap peared to you a measure of severity on my part." "I hope so, indeed," said Robert. I have been thinking for a few day past,,' said Mr. V., "of proposing to you a short visit to the Springs. Mv own health is not very goad, and I doubt not it will improve your own spirit." "With great pleasure, my dear sir, sho'd I spend a few weeks at the Springs. I am told the company tl.era this season U ol the highest order. "It is really so. I have just received a letter from an old friend of mine, who informs me he has a lady among his fashionable guests, whose brother is a wealthy merchant in Loudon. And she is now wailing a visit from him. intending when ha returns to accompany him. She is rep resented as a great beauty possessing great amiablenets, and well qualified for the station D which your hand would elevate her." "I hope my father will dismiss his hopes in regard lo this matter," said the blushing son, "and let us appear as visitors, and not as suitors, for I may not be pleased with the fair Donna, and were it lobe otherwise it is more than probable she is already engaged." This pleasant retort caused the old gentleman to smile, as they drove into the beautiful ornamented park and alighted. CHAPTER IV. A few days only had passed, and the carriage of Mr. Videtto and his son drove dashingly up to the hotel of Mr. , of Saratoga, w here they were warmly greeted by their old friend, and every arrangement made for their comfort within the pow er of "mine host."' A splendid room was furnUhed, and in a short time many visitors introduced. Among the rest, the belle of the season. Miss Cornell, from London, the "beautiful rich lady" so much admired and so highly recommended by me iriena ol old .Mr. uietto. She is a charming lady.upon my word," said the old gentleman to h:s son, as ihej were left alone. '-Yes, I think so, suiely, from the short acquaintance we have enjoyed' replied the apparently unconscious Robert. "And would adorn the palace of a king," said the old man. Did you mark the splendid jewels upon her delicate fingers her ease and graceful bearing? You may rely upon it Robert, she is of no humble origin. A lady of high rank, seeking a congenial spir.t among ihe republicaus of her sibier nation." "Or she may be a poor girl whose ambition is above her birih," said Robert, casting a scrutinizing glance upon his fa-iher.

No, no,,' replied he, "I have seen enotigh of the w orld to detect thut, if such were the fact. Your young hearts may be deceived, but not the old and experienced." The old miser returned to his room that night w ith a degree of pleasure rarely experienced. He had long sighed to see his son united w ith one who should add to his

wealth and dignity. And now that they, as he imagined, had accidentally fallen into the company of one every way worthy of hts son, and with whom there was a fair prospect of union, he was delighted. And he resolved to encourage as far as might be proper, the apparent admiration of hit ; v,:;vl ; U II Slit it. tai tilt a 1 1 va tic 1 1 ft VI tiiv iniuvunuvu i gratification in ai-horttime of seeing Robert paying the most marked attentions to the lad. Nor was he in any haste to cut short ll.eir visit, although it had alreadyexceeded the time fixed upon for their re turn. CHAPTER V. "Well, sir." said Robert one day,as they were indulging in a morning tide, "I have concluded to marry Miss Cornell, with your consent, end if granted, shall be hap py to celebrate the nuptial ceremony at this place, immediately on the arrival of her brother' "You have my most cheerful consent, my son," said Mr. Videtto, the tears of joy "And" presenting a deed for three hund,1 . r l. l J .nil n I rru finrs ui in? iirst iauu in anu a check for twenty thousand dollars on the Bank of New York, "here is a ti ifie for your expense on the occasion. With expressions of gratitude, the deed and check were receiver, and in a few days the money was tafely deposited in his pocket. The happy Robert and the fair Miss C. were greeted with many expressions o! iov by their numerous friend and admi rers which they had won by their un: formly kind and agreeable manner, and high anticipations were entertained of an agreeable nnd splendid parly on the ap pointed festal day. Cards of invitation were freely circulated, and each esteemed himself honored by being so fortunate as to receive one. And when at length the day arrived on which the London mer chant appeared in the beauty and elegance of form of which many less favored by nature were envious, and was formally introduced to the elevated father, and many friends, the joy of all seemed to be com plete. The next day after his arrival was the eventful time of the wedding. And a large and fashionable party assembled at an tarly hour and exchanged the consratulalions of the ocrnsion. Among them none ap peared morehaopv than the delighted fa ther of the successful bridegroom. ' The ceremony was duly pronounced by a worthy curate, w ho was officiating in the village, and the party afterwards repaired to the saloon of the hotel, to spend the evening at a splendid soiree, given in hon or of the occasion by Mr. Videtto and his son. The next day Mr. Videtto with his son and the beautiful young wife, her bro ther, and a few friends relumed lo their residence, where preparations had been made for a select party, and the happy company spent another evening in a de lightful manner. None seemed more to enjoy it than the old gentleman. CHAPTER VI. A few days after the wedding had taken place, cs the family were indulging in aso cial dial in the library of Videtto Place, while the adn iration of the old gentleman was unoounacu, ine eye oi Kooeu migni be seen lo glance archly toward the blushing wife, and then steadily for a moment upon his father, w hen he said: "Does my kind father admire my Fidelia, although for herself; and would he still cherish the fond attachment he feels, were he to be informed that instead of being a "wealthy heiress,' she is indeed a 'poor orphan?' Not at all dreaming of the object of his inquiry, the old gentleman replied with warmin, "indeed luii ert, l could do no less. I Irtisl my estimate of the worth of my sw eet daughter is not based on any qualifications her wealth or parentage may give her, but from the evidence al ready given aside from that she is worthy of my son." At that moment the door opened, and the servant led into the library a feeble man accompanied by a noble looking and intelligent y otith, upon whose arm he lean ed as he slowly approached the centre of the room. Robeit arose immediately, and extend ing his hand warmly embraced the stran ger, and introduced to the old gentleman, "Mr. Quimby, the worthy father of mv wife, Fidelia, the 'Candy Girl.'" "How? what? your wife's father, Mr. Quimby! Impossible'." "It is truly so, my dear str, and I trust you will find him no less wonhy of your esteem than you acknowledge yourself to have found his charming daughter, my wife." sA"But how is thi?" said Mr. Videtto, in surprise. "Please explain the mailer." "Be seated sir, and I w ill do so," said Robert. "I w-as satisfied that ihe objections to my union with Fidelia were found ed upon false education and a false esti male of human worth. And when I learnil vnllr tipiva T tvaa rfcnlvft nnnn a rl a f. which should not only' convince vou of your mistake, but secure to me the object of my choice, wi;h your consent. My pian wasoenoeraie, w emaid, and as you see. successful. Tbe name of Miss Cor nell was assumed upon her going to the Springs, and her brother, w ho was in the secret, has addressed her accordingly. I knew your heart, and fell sure lis gener osity was equal to the event."' "And you shall nrt be disappointed, my worthy son. For although I had formed a resolution never to acknowleege as my daughter one wna w as not your equal in wealth and parentage, yei I freely forgive vou the drama in whch v ou have been so successiui, even inougn u re at my ex pense and the more especially since it has-been so well regulated." Nor did he ever until ihe day of his death regret the event which had consummated the happiness of his son. Fidelia was the pride and the joy of his heart, and enjoy ed the admiration and love of all w ho knew her. And no one seemed belter to enjoy the interesting history of the innocent fraud, in his declining day than the father-in-law of tho' Candy Girl."

TO THE PEOPLE OF FRANKLIN & ADJOINING COrTlFS

Nail seriousness we adJressvou. and upon an important subject; on whirl. deeply effects your interests; wetlerefore earnestly solicit your candid and careful. attention. In presenting this subiert we have in view, we would refer you to the following well known gentlemen. We do this, being fully aware that such names are only needed to give character and impor. tance to any suDject; we therefore, would urge upon all, wbo after carefally rcadine this article, feel they are interested, to call upon tbe gentlemen referred to, and "sea whether these things are so. Hitt &c Haile, Brookville. E. Ttner & Co. Metamora, ConwelIj, Shoup A- Van Berc en, Laurel Wm. Adams. Fairfield, E. Corey, Blocminggrove, Morgan & Nichols, Andewonville. The above gentlemen have either used, or are agents for the sale of the famous, and jus.ly celebrated " Jete Davids or brew Plaster ' and Resurrection or Per sian Pi7,"and have recently been supplied with them anew and can testify to their ex alted character, and also furnish uncontrovertable proof as to their virtues and efficacy,in all cases for whicb.eitber the "He. brew Plaster," or "Persian Pills," are recommended. The success of these Medicines in the Eastern States, and W. T.. Ohio, Pa., Nichigan, Illinois, and this State and indeed wherever introduced, have been unprecedented in the annals of medi cines, clearly proving tbe fact, that when a medicine possessing real merit and great medical virtues, is offered to tbe public, it will meet with a success commensurate with its worth. Tbe character of the "Hebrew Piaster" and "Persian Pills," is fairly established, and upon a firmer basis than any other medicines of which we have any knowledge. Having, for six years successfully met and warded on the shafts o; malice and envy, which by the interested, have been hurled ?ainst them and by their wonderful cures, done away with all prejudice heretofore exsting against patent remedies, we have good giounds for the assertiun, that wc sincerely believe there is no medicine that gives such general satisfaction and fails in so few instances to benefit all wbo use them as the "Hebrew Plaster" nrd "Persian Pills." This is said after inaturj deliberation and in no spirit of boasting. We wish tbe medicine to stand upon its own merit, therefore shall not attempt to give it character by puffs or ficticious certificate, as such a course never adds to the virtues of any medicine, but is sure soon to meet its just reward from an enlightened public. (If tbe"Hebrew Plaster," we remark that the peculiarities of this Chemical Compound, are owing to its extraordinary effect upon the animal fibre or nerves, ligaments and muscles; its virtues being carried tby them to the immediate seat of disease, or of pain and weakness. However good any internal remedy may be, this, as an external application, will prove a powerlul auxiliary in removing tbe disease and facilitating the cure in cnoettef ocal Inflammation. Scrofulous Affection. King's Evil, Gout, Indammatory and Chronic Rheumatism. and in all cases where seated pain or weakness exists. We have likewise witneed tbe happy effects of its softening and healing q l alities in numberless cases of Scrolulous Humnrs, Knots, Wens, White Swellings, Hard Tumors, StitT Joints, Ague Cakes, Ague in the Brea6t, and the like, to the united sal isfactinn of ourselves and others. It has likewise been very beneficial in cases of weakness, such as Weakness and Pain in the stomach. Weak Limb, Lameness, Affectioi a of tbc Spine, Female Weaknesses, dc. No female, subject to pmn or weakness in the back or side, should be without it. Married larijcs, in dt licatesit ualions, find great relief from wearing tbis plaster. Tbe application of this plaster between the shouiders, has been found a certain remedy for Colds, Coughs. Phthisic and Lnrg Affections, in their primary'stages. It destroys inflammation, by producing a copious perspiration. No physician should be without it. No purling or great spread of certificates is intended. Those who wih lo satisfy themselves of the efficacy of ibis Plaster can obtain sufficiet to spread 6 or 6 phsters, for 50 cts. We would caution the public agsinst buying of any one but those wbo we publish as agent; for we have reason to bebeve some unprincipled person ha tampered with the life and health of bis fellow man, by counterfeiting tbe "Hebrew Plaster" Be sure and ascertain that whoever ims ths Plaster for sale are agents for tbs subscribers. None other is genuine. THE RESURRECTION OR PERSIAN PILLS. These Pil.'s raise from tbe greatest weakness, distress, and suffe'ing, to a sine of Ftrengtb, health and happiness. Tbe nme of these pills originated from the circumstance of the medicine being lound only in tbe cemeteries ofPersia. This veo-e'able production being of Pe culiar kind, led to experiment as to it medical qualities, and virtues. In half a cenlury it became an established medicine for tbe diseases of that ountry. The extract ofthis singular production was introduced into some parts of Europe in the year 1783, and used by mauy celebrated physicians in curing certain dieeaM a, where al) other medicines had been used in vain.Early in the year 1792.lhe extract was combined witb a certain vegetable medicine imported from Dura Baca, in the East Indies, and Torn ed into Pills. Those in l.ealth, w ho live in mars-by cmin tries and unhealthy cl: mates, can avoid the diseases to which their situarions are subject, by taking tbe Persian Pills once, and in some instances. perhaps, twice a week, to cleanse the svstem. and purify n from the small accumulation of eriluvia, which causes the different diseases, in d:iTerent. situations of the country. Those who find diseases fast jncreasmgupon them.sbould take 6 or 6 pills on going to bed, which will generally operate at- a gentle emetic and cathartic; ater wlnrh continue tbe use of them in smaller Wf. as recommended on e'ther part of ti.e h u. Those who follow th; course will find il.em a sure and Never failing preventive. Price of Pills 25 cents per box. D. HARTER 4- CO. Janunry 21rd. 5-ly FULLING.
