THE VAllBY FARMER-DEVOTED TO THE TRUE INTERESTS OF FARMERS, MECHANICS, AND WORKING MEN.

VALLEY PARMER.

A RAINY EYENIJiG BT OABOUin Ul HENTZ A pleasand little group was gathered round Uncle Ned's domestic hearth. He sat on one side of the fire-place, opposite Aunt Mary, who, with her boos in hand, watched the children, seated at the table, some reading, others sewing, all occpuied, but one, a child, " of larger growth," a young lady, who being a (rest of the family waa suffered to indulge in the pleasure of idleness without reproof. " Ah ! I lore a rainy evening, ' said little Ann, looking up from her book, and meeting her mother's smiling glance, '-it is so nice to sit by a good fire and hear the rain pattering against the windows. Only I pity the poor people who hare no house to cover them, and to keen off the rain and the cold." " And I lore a rainy evening, too," cried George, a boy of about twelve. " I can study so much better. My thoughts stay at home, and don't keep rambling out after the bright moon and stars. My heart feels warmer, and I really believe I love everybody better than I do when the weather is Ned smiled, and gave the boy an approving pat on the shoulder. Every one railed but the young lady, who with a languid, discontented sir, now played' with a pair of scissors, now turned over the leaves of a book, then with an ill-suppressed yawn, leaned idly on her elbow, ana looked into the fire. "And what do you think of the rainy evening, Elisabeth T' asked Uncle Ned. " I should like to hear your opinion as well as the rest.'' " I think it over dull and uninteresting, indeed," answered she. "I always feel so stupid, I can hardly keep myself awake one cannot go abroad, or hope to see company at home, and one gets so tired of seeing the same faces all the time. I cannot imagine what George and Ann see to admire so much in a rainy, disagreeable evening like this." " Supposing I tell you a story to enliven you,,' said Uacle Ned. Oh! yes, father, please tell us a story," exclaimed both of the children, simultaneously. Little Ann was perched upon his knee as if by magic, and even Elisabeth moved her chair, as if excited to some degree of interest. George still held his book in his hand, but his bright eyes, sparkling with unusual animation, were rivited upon his uncle's face. "I am going to tell you a story about a rainy evening" said Uncle Ned. " Oh! that will be so pretty!" cried Ann, clappidg her hands ; but Elizabeth's countenance fell below zero. It was an ominious annunciation. "Yes," continued Uncle Ned, "a rniny evening. But though clouds darker than those which now mantle the sky were lowering abroad, and the rain fell heavier and faster, the rainbow of my life was drawn most beautifully on thoee dark clouds, and He fair colors still shine most lovely on the sight. It is no longer, however, the bow of promise, but the realisation of my fondeet dreams." George saw that his uncle cast an expresMive glance towards the handsome matron in the opposite corner, whose color perceptibly (lightened, and he could not forbear exclaiming "Ah! Aunt Mary is blashing. I understand uncle's metaphor. She is his rainbow, and he thinks life one verr long rainy day. " " Not exactly so. I mean your last conclusion. Hut don t interrupt me, my boy, and yon shall hear a lesson, which, young as you are, I trust you will never forget. When I was a youag man 1 was thought quite hand some" Pa is as pretty as he can be.now." interrupted little Aan, passing her nana ionaiy over his cheek. Uncle Ned was not displeased with the compliment, for be pressed her closer to him, while he continued " Well, when I was young I was of gay spirit, and a great favorite in so ciety. The young ladies liked me for a partner in tne dance, at the cbee board, or the evening walk, and I had reason to think several of them would have made no objection to take me as a partner for life. Among all my young acquaintances, there was no one whose companionship was so pleasing as that of a maiden whose name was Mary. Now there are a great many Marys in the world, so you must not take it for granted I mean your mother or aunt. At any rate, vou must not look so significant till I nave finished my story. " Mary was a sweet and lovely girl with a current of cheerfulness running through her disposition that maae music as it nowea. it was an under current, however, always gentle, and kept within its legitimate channel never overflowing into bois terous mirth, or unmeaning levity .- She was the only daughter of her mother, and she a widow. Mrs. Carl ton, such was her mother's name, was in lowly circumstances, and Mary had some of the appiances of wealth and fashion to decorate her person, or gild her home. A very modest competency was all her portion, and she wish ed for nothing more. I have seen her in a simple white dress, without a ingle ornament, unless it was a natural rose, transcend all the gaudy belles, who sought by the attractions of dress to win the admiration of the multitude. But, alas ! for poor human nature. One of these darling belles so fascinated my attention, that the gentle Mary was for a while forgotten. Theresa Vane was, indeed, a rare piece of mortal mechanism. Her figure was the perfection of beauty, ana she moved as if strung upon wires, so elastic and springing were her gestures. I never saw such lustrous hair it was perfectly black, and shone like burnished steel ; and then such ringlets! How they waved and ripled down her beautiful neck! She dressed with the most exquisite taste, delicacy and neatness, ana what

she wore assumed a peculiar grace and fitness, as if art loved to adorn what nature made so fair. But what charmed me most was, the sunshiny smile that was always waiting to light up her countenance. To be sure, she sometimes laughed a little too loud, but then her laugh was so musical, and her teeth so white, it was impossible to believe her guilty of rudeneaa, or want of grace. Often, when I saw her in the social circle, so brilliant and smiling, the life and charm of everything around her, I thought how happy the constant companionship of such a being would make me what brightness she would impart to the fireside of home what light, joy to the darkest scenes of existence!" "Oh! uncle," interrupted George, laughing, "if I were aunt Mary, I would not let you praise any other lady so warmly. You are so taken up with her beauty, you have forgotten all about the rainy evening, entirely." Aunt Mary smiled, but it is more than probable that George really touched one of the hidden springs of her woman's heart, for she looked down and said nothing. " Don't be impatient, ' said Uncle Ned, "and you shall not be cheated out of your story. I began it for Elizabeth s sake, rather than yours, and I see she is wide awake. She thinks I was by this time more than half in love with Theresa Vane, and she is more than half right. There had been a great many parties of pleasure, riding parties, sailing parties, and talking parties; and summer slipped by, almost unconsciously. At length the autumnal equinox approached, and gathering clouds, north-eastern gales and drizsling rains, succeeded to the soft breezes, mellow skies, and glowing sunsets, peculiar to that beautiful season. For three days I was confined within doors by the continuous rains, and I am sorry to confess it, but the blue devils actually got complete possession of me one strided upon my nose, another danced on the top of my head, one pinched my ear, and another turned summersets on my ohin. Tou laugh, little Nanny, but they are terrible creatures, these blue gentlemen, and I could not endure them any longer. So the third rainy evening, I put on my overcoat, buttoned it up to my chin, and taking my umbrella in my hand, set out in the direction of Miss Vane's. 'Here,' thought I, as my fingers pressed the lath, I shall find the moonlight smile that will illumine the darkness of my night the dull vapors will disperse before her radient glance, and this interminable equinoctial storm be transformed into a mere vernal shower, melting away in sunbeams in her presence.' My gentle knock not being apparently heard, I stepped into the ante-room, set down my umbrella, took off my drenched overcoat, arranged my hair in the most graceful manner, and, claiming a privilege to which, perhaps, I had no legitimate right, opened the door of the family sitting-room, and found myself in the presence of the beautiful Theresa" Here Uncle Ned made a very provoking pause. " Pray go on." How was she dressed P " And was she glad to see you?" assailed him on every side. How was she dressed ?" repeated he. "I am not very well skilled in the technicalities of a lady's wardrobe, but I can give you the general impression of her personal appearance. In the first place, there was a jumping up and an off-hand sliding step towards an opposite door, as I entered; but a disobliging chair was in the way, and I was making my lowest bow, before she found an opportunity of disappearing. Confused and mortified, she scarcely returned my salutation, while Mrs. Vane offered me a chair, and expressed, in somewhat dubious terms, their gratification at such an unexpected pleasure I have no doubt Theresa wished me at the bottom of the Frozen Ocean, if I might judge by the freezing glances she shot at me through her long lashes. She sat uneasily in her chair, trying to conceal nor slipshod shoes, and furtively arranging her dress about the shoulders and waist. It was a most rebellious subject, for the body and skirt were at open warfare, refusing to have any communion with each other. Where was the graceful shape I had so much admired? In vain I sought its exquisite outlines in the folds of that loose, slovenly robe. Where were those glistening ringlets and burnished locks that had so lately rivalled the tresses of Medusa? Her hair was put in tangled bunches behind her ears, and tucked up behind In a kind of Gordian knot, which would have required the sword of an Alexander

to untie. Her frock was a soiled and dingy silk, with trimmings of sallow blonde, and a faded fancy handkerchief was thrown over one shoulder " 'You have caught me completely en dishabille,' said she, recovering par tially from her embarrassment; 'but the evening was so rainy, and no one but mother and myself, I never areamea ol such an exhibition ofgalL mm 4 LI- l iiiu jf as mis. " She could not disguise her vexation, by all her efforts to conceal it. and Mrs. Vane evidently shared her daughter s chagrin. I was wicked enough to enjoy their confusion, and never appeared more at ease, or played the airreeable with more tAernml success. I was disenchanted at once and my mind reveled in its recovered freedom. My goddess had fallen from the pedestral on which mv imagina tion had enthroned her, despoiled of me oeauuiui arapery which had imparted to her such ideal lovliness. I knew that I was a favorite in the family, for I was wealthy and indeoendent, and perhaps of all Theresa's admirers what the world call the best match. I maliciously asked her to play on the piano, but she made a thousand excuses, studiously keeping back the true reason, her disordered attire. I asked her to play a game of chess, 'she had a headache; she never could do anything on a rainy evening.' "At length I took my leave, inwardly blessing the moving spirit which had led me abroad that night, that the spell which had so long enthralled my senses might be broken. Theresa called up one of her lambent smiles as I bade her adieu. "Never call again on a rainy evening!. ' she said, sportively; 'I am al ways so wretchedly dull. I believe I

was born to live among the sunbeams, the moonlight, and the stars. Clouds and rain will never do for me.' " 'Amen,' I silently res ponded, as I closed the door. While I was putting on my overcoat, I overheard without the smallest intention of listening, a passionate exclamation from Theresa: " 'Good heavens, mother! was there ever anything so unlucky? I never thought of seeing my neighbor's dog to-night ! I have been completely caught.' " 4I hope you will mind ray advice next time,' replied her mother, in a Srieved tone. 'I told you not to sit own in that slovenly dress. I have no doubt you have lost him forever, my dear.' "Here I made good my retreat, not wishing to enter the penetralia of their family secrets. "The rain still continued unabated but my social feelings were very far from being damped. I had the curiosity to make another experiment.

The evening was not very far advanced, and as I turned from Mr. Vane's fashionable mansion, I saw a modest light glimmering in the distance, and I nailed as the shipwrecked mariner hails the star that guides him o'er the ocean's foam to the home he has left behind. Though I was gay and young and a passionate admirer of beauty, I had very exalted ideas of domestic felicity. I knew that there was many a rainy day in life, and I thought the companion who was born alono for sunbeams and moonlight would not aid me to dissipate their gloom. I had, moreover, a shrewd suspicion that the daughter who made sufficient excuse for shameful personal neglect, that there was no one present but her mother, would, as a wife, be equally regardless of a husband's presence While I pursued these reflections, my feet involuntarily drew nearer and more near to the light, which had been the loadstone of my opening manhood. I had continued to meet Mary in the gay circles I frequented, bat I had lately become almost a stranger at her home. 'Shall I be a welcome guest?' said I to myself an I crossed the threshold. 'Shall I find I her en dishabille, likewise, and discover that feminine beauty and grace are incompatible with a rainy evening?' I heard a sweet voice reading aloud, as I opened the door, and I knew it was the voice which was once music to my ears. Mary rose at my entrance, laying her book quietly on the table, and greeted me with a grace and self-possession peculiarly herown. j She looked sursprised, and a little cm barrassed, but very far from being displeased. She made no allusion to my enstrangement, or neglect, exj pressed no astonishment at my unj timely visit, nor once hinted that, being afone with her mother, and not anticipating visitors, she thought it unnecessary to wear the habiliment I of a lady. Never in my life had I seon her look so lovely. Her dress was perfectly plain, but ever' fold was arranged by the hand of the Graces. Her dark-brown hair, which had a natural wave in it, now uncurled by the dampness, was put back in smooth ringlets from her brow, revealing a face which did not consider its beauty wasted because a mother's eye alone rested on its bloom. A beautiful cluster of autumnal roses, placed in a glass vase upon the table, perfumed the apartment, and a bright blazo upon the hearth diffused a spirit of cheerfulness around, while it relieved the atmosphere of excessive moisture. Mrs. Carlton was an invalid, and sufferod also from an inflamation of the eves. Mary had been reuding aloud from her favorite book. What do you think it was? It was a very old-fashioned one, indeed. No other than the Bible. And Mary was not ashamed for such fashionable J-oung gentleman as I then was to see ler thus employed. What a contrast to the scene I had just quitted! How I loathed myself for the infatuation which had led me to prefer the artificial graces of a belle to this sweet child of nature! I drew my chair to the table, and entreated that they would not look upon me as a strangor but as a friend, anxious to be restored again to the forfeited privileges of an old acquaintance I was understood in a moment, and, without a single reproach, was admitted again to confidence and familiarity. The hours I had wasted with Theresa seemed to be a kind of mesmeric slumber a blank in my existonce or, at least, a fevered dream. "What do you think of a rainy evening, Mary?' asked I, before leaving her. "'I love it of all things' replied she. with animation. There is something so home-drawing, so heart-knitting, in its influence. The dependencies which bind us to the world seem withdrawn, and, retiring within ourselves, we loam more of tho deep mysteries oi our Doing. "Mary's soul beamed from hor eye as it turnod, with transient obliquity, towards heaven. Sho paused, as if fearful of unsealing the fountains of ner neart. I said that Mrs. Carlton was an invalid, and, consequently, retired early to her chamber; but I lingered till a late hour, and did not go till I had made complete confession of my folly, repentance, and awakened love; and as Mary did not shut the door in my face, you can imagine that she was not very sorely displeased." "Ah! I know who Mary was. I knew all tho time," exclaimed little George, looking archly at Aunt MaA bright tear, which at that moment fell into her lap, showed that, though a silent, she was no uninterested auditor. "You haven't done, father?" said little Ann, in disappointment. I tho't vou were goin to tell a story. You have besn talking about yourself all the time." "I have been something of an egotist, to be sure, my littie girl, but I wanted to show my dear young friend here how much might depend upon a rainy evening. Life is not made all of sunshine. The happiest and most prosperous must have their seasons of gloom and darkness, and woe to those from whose souls no rays of light emanate to gild those darkened hours. I bless the God of the rain as well as the sunshine. I can read His mercy and His love as well in the tempest, whose wings obscure the glories of His creation, as in the splender of the rising sun, or the soft dews that descend after his setting ra diance. I began with a metaphor. I said a rainbow was drawn on the

clouds that lowered on that eventful day, and that it otill continued to shine with undimininhed beauty. Women, my children, were sent by God to be the rainbow of man's darker destiny. From the glowing red, emblematic of that love which warms and gladdens his existence, to the violet, melting into the blue of heaven, symbolical of the faith which links him to a purer world, her blending virtues, mingling with each other in beautiful harmony, are a token of God's mercy here, and anj earnest of future blessings in those regions where no 'rainy evenings' ever come to obscure the brightness of an eternal day MTThe local oditor of an exchange publishes a punning "market report,' in which ho Btates, "Tin plates are flat ; lead heavy ; iron dull ; rakes not much inquired after'; champagne brisk . rhubarb and senna are drugs . starch is stiffening ; paper is stationery.
