The trunks" vrtrre all paeked and corded, and the carpet-bap; were piled op in the corner of the capacious old fashioned hall. How melancholy they looked, those emblems of parting adieus. Not even the merry laugh of two or three young girls who were gathered around a stalwart, handsome fellow of about thirty could entirely banish an impalpable something of sadness fiom the scene. Cousin Jack was going away, the general mischief-maker, tormentor and tease of the whole family, and old Mr. Chester, sitting by a distant window, wiped his spectacles every five minutes and declared, pettishlj', that the type of the evening paper was a terriblo trial to his old yea. Aye, you may laugh, girls, said Jack, applying himself vigorously to the refractory lock of a portmanteau. Perhaps you may one day discover it isn't such a laughing matter. Think of the loss the family is going to sustain in my excellency. "But youVll come back soon. Jack, dear?" coaxed Minnie Chester, the prettiest and most rougishof all his cousins, and the one who kept up a perfect fire of partical Jokes and girlish tricks at his expense. . -There she sat, on the biggest trunk of the collection, her brown curls hanging

.' about her round face, and her eyes sparkv t .ling with a curious mixture of fun. . and tears. I'm not at all certain of that. Miss Minnie,' said Jack, decisively. 'If I succeed in finding a situation to suit me, I shall probably decide to settle perma- . : - menUy at Thornrille, and turn laud proprietor on my own account.' 'Only imagine our .lack a gentleman of property !' laughed Minnie, appeoliug . i. to her sisters. ' 'I don't see anything so very ridicuv Ions in the idea, remarked the young man. rather piqued at the amusement of

bis fair relatives. 'At all events, there s oae incalculable advantage that will result from mv departure.

And what is that, -Mr. Oracle? - The fact that you've played your last ; - freak on me. you tormenting little minx.' Don't be so certain of that, cousin , Jack'.' said Minnie, shaking her long Curls. What will you venture I don't bestow a parting trick on you yet? Ah ! X have not settled with v'ou for several pieces of impertinence ; but, pray do not , imagine that they are forgotten, sir J , My diamond sleeve-buttons to your eoral necklace that you don't impose on v me within the next three months, Minnie, said Jack, gaily. 4 r 'Done said Minnie.

i BE VOL.. XXXV.) While Mr. Chester sat in his cozy red curtained library, revising the letter which he had been writing to his old college friend, Jabez Thome, of Thorn ville,etbat Jack was in search of an eligible piece of land, and wished to settle down as a planter in that vicinity, and requesting Mr. Thome's aid and co operation in the selection of the same, Minnie opened the door. Papa, there is some one down btairs who wishes to see you immediately, for a minnte. 'Very annoying !' said the old gentleman. 'JustasI was fluishing up this letter of Jack's. However, I can seal it up afterwards. Minnie, suppose j-ou glance over it, and dot the i s and cross the t's, I'm not so much of a penman as I used to be. 'And old Mr. Chester pushed back Lis chair and arose from the antique oak table to attend to the claims of hi- urgent guest. ' ' " 'j Olive Uueater was i.rusuius vuw tue heavy braids of her luxuriant hair before the dreisinsr mirror of her own apartment, two hours later, when Minnie ran in, with countenance comically divided between dismay and delight. My dear Minnie what has happened?' exclamod the elder sUter, dropping her hair-brush and letting all the raven tresses ripple down unheeded over her shoulders. 'Iv'e won the diamond sleeve buttons, Olive?' Rut. oh? I didn't mean to. What would papa say if he only knew and cousin Jack, too. Sit down, you wild little elf,' said Olive, gently forcing her sister into a chair, "and explain this curious rid lie.' 'Well, you kuow papa left me to look over his letter to Mr. Thorne he was detained longer than he expected almost an hour in fact, and I couldn't help amusing myself by writing a parody on the letter.' A parody !' 'Yes you remember somebody was telling us' what a beautiful daughter Mr. Thorne had so I wrote that Jack was in search of a wife, and heard of Miss Thome, and wanted to settle in life, and all that sort of thing. In short. I wrote wife. Wasn't it fun ? ejaculated the lit tie maiden, her eyes dancing with dinblery 'Hut 3"ou know I never once thought of sending the letter ; I only' wanted to read it to Jack when I went down stairs. ell, I smgncd it, witn a great flourish of trumpets, and then who should come but papa and the stranger. Of course I fled and when I came back the letter was sealed, and safe in Jack's pocket-book, and Olive, it was the wrong letter. The wrong letter?' It was rather a dim light and papa's eyes were not so keen as thev are wont to l ftivl my iin)tertinut tri(.iv we. ' gone, while the real 6ow fide lay there amongst a heap of discarded papers. And I hadn't courage to confess my misdemeanor, papa is so opposed to my innocent little jokes and Jack is olf with the indescribable letter! Olive, but what a tornado there will be when my mischief leaks out!' Ami Minnie looked so bewiehingly love'y iu her alternate paroxysms of terror and laughter that Olive, grave elder sister though she was, had not the heart to lecture her as roundly as she deserved. The crimson sunset of the next evening shone radiantly into the special sanctum of the worthy Jabez Thorne, of Thornville, Justice of the Peace, and chairman of all the agricultural meetings for ten miles around. It was no scholarly library, like that of his ancient comrade Chester, but a square light room, four uncurtained windows, ornamented with numerous black-framed engravinjs of prize cattle and giant turnips. He was seated in a leather cushion arm chair, looking over fie files of an agricultural journal to find some coveted information on the subject of 'phosphates' aud 'super-phosphates, when a servant brought him a card and a letter. The gentleman is iu the parlor, sir.' Jabcx Thorne laid aside his newspaper, and glanced at the card, which bore the simple inscription 'John Lacy' then at the letter, which purported to have been an introduction to that individual. 'Hum ha from an old college chum, Chester, as I live. Remarkable change in his hand writing, but time changes us all. Havn't heard from him in twenty years, and hallo! what is this? A pretty cool request, xipon my wo.'d nephew wants a wife, and has heard that 1 possess a daughter has plenty of money wants me to aid him with my well known experience ia such matters. What does the old rascal meau ? ejaculated Jabez, the fringe of gray hair that surrounded his bald head standing absolutely erect with indignation. 'I will aend JeiTers to kick the impudent young scamp out of my house." But a moment's reflection" brought calmness. 'Well, after all, I dont see what there is in the matter to make me so fooiishly angry. Guess I'll see what Mary says. An excellent family, those Chesters and this letter is just like Zebedee Chester he always was singular in his notions. Bather unlike the ordinary method of coming to an understanding on such matters, but there's nothing like a dash of originality in this world, and if the boy is rich, and Mary don't object at all events I'll see him on tbe subject ' AndJ&bes Thorne thrust the letter into his pocket and strode determined into the parlor where young Lcy was quietly -waiting his appearance. The old gentleman's face was scarlet with embarrassment ; he was half dispose ! to be angry with his guest cool self possession. 'I ha t tbongbt of settling in this vtmnitv. Mr Thorne.' said Jack, after thaceremwucs of greeting had been exchanged,' and understood from my uncle that you had desirable ru"" of property lUaftyoa might bedtspoicJU pee with.' .

JUST ANCT FEAR RICII3IOXD, he controiUfd his emotion, and ; only n- ; swered :. ! ReulIy, sir, this is a very singular rei quest. One can hardly be expected to I answer' definitely upon'sd very short i 'Certainely not, Mr. Thorne, I have ! no wish to hurry you,' said Jack, polite j I3-; 'but I am rather anxious to see for i myself, an I if yon would favor me with a oriel description 01 tuo prominent features of . Rut Mr. Throne was fidgeting uneasily in his chair. , 'What do vou mean, sir?' he exclaimeJ wrathfully. - ' - Jack was rattier perplexed at this cavalier reception, but answered as courteously as possible. Why, ir, of course it is not best to be precipitate on a matter of such importance.' .. . . , . 'If this 4a. f ur spccfmbii'of the rising generation, thought the indignant Jabez, 'they are .about as impudent a set of j Jackanapes as I want t jsee. Rut I owe i somethiui; to my long friendship with ' ! old Zebedee- Chester I won't turn the i puppy out of doors quite yet.' ) 'I suppose it is heathy r' said Lacy: I blandly. " ' j 'What is healthy ?' ' t 'Your property. Sometimes in these i ! low grounds diseases are apt to prevail j ' and j I 'Does he expect my Mary has the, j , fever and aue ? thought old Thome, leaping briskly out of the chair as if an ( insect had stun daughter to thhim. 'I'll send mv wiil young mm that settle the business at once. ' 'What the mischief has his daughter 1 to do witli the matter?' I And before Lacy could express his ; surprise his choleric host had banged the door behind him and disappeared, j Mary Thome's astonishment was even ; greater than her father's had been. She j was attired in white muslin, with a bou1 quet of crimson Moss rose buds in her 1 bosom, and a spray of the same exquis- ; ite flowers in her hair, for some rural 1 ! party or pic-nic, and at first absolutely ! refused to enter the parlor. j i 'What an idea !" she exclaimed, blush-j j ins: to the very tips of those tiny shell- i j li!(e ears. 'To be put on exhibition like j ' one of your prize cattle ? No, indeed, let j : the j-o'.ing man go back w'jere he came i ' from. A pretty impression he must 1 have of the ladies in this quarter of the 'globe.' j 'But, my love, Zebedeo Chester is one I ' of my oldest friends, and the young man i is really a fine looking fellow, and rich ' in the bargain. Go in and talk to him f a little while, that's a good girl. I can't I stand it a minute longer.' j Aud oi l Jabez wiped his forehead, on . which the perspiration was standing in j hid beailrt. Mary burst into a tit of nn- ( controllable laughter. j 'The whole airair is so ridiculous !' i she exclaimed. Rut she adjusted the uio rose, never theless, and tripped demurely into the parlor. t Now if there was a determined point in Jack Laev's character it was his aver- j 6ion to women 111 was any one thin'jr reneral, and if there on which he prided himself it was his decision 0:1 bachelor ism. Imagine his vexation and dismay therefore, when after a formal in ti od notion, old Mr. Thorne withdrew, leaving him tete-a-tete with the pretty creature iu white muslin and rose. It was em barrassing enough, particularly as Mary j blushed every time he looked at her, and i evinced an exceeding great disposition j i lo lau-.i. Well, thonsrht Jack, 'the manner and customs of this locality are rather odd to say the least of it.

" Old Jabez Thome was busily engaged nipping tbe dead leaves otf his pot lauristinns with a gigantie-pair of garden scissors, that morning, when Laoy sprang over the hedge and saluted him with a buoyant - Good morning ! Well, sir," he went on gaily; 'I have seen the property, and am perfectly delimited. A fine healthy investment--no disease about it, I'm convinced, . " ' 'Hem?' said Mr. Thorne, dubiously'And I would like to take 'a second and more thorough inspection in yoar society? sir if you please.' 'Really, Mr. Laey,' said the old man sharply, 'ray daughter has not yet come down stairs, and " 'Of conrSe, I will wait nntil it may be convenient to yon, sir; I observed a good deal of native roughness, but I caunot doubt that there is a very great susceptibility to improvement. ,A little judicious crltivation will accomplish wonders.' 7"' - -'Let metell you."-young man, began Mr. Thorne in a towering rage. .

What is the sum you demand.' Mr. Thorne fairly sat down ou the gravel walk, overpowered with the avalanche of wrath which he found impossible to shape iuto words. 'L'ion my word sir, lie began ; 'you talk as though this was a mere matter of business.' Jack was puzzled enough. 'It is the way I have always- heretofore been accustomed to treat such ad'airs, sir.' 'Heretofore yon have been accustomed. And, pra3, sir, how many such little affairs have you had on your hands?' ! shrieked old Thorne, growing purple in ( the face. I O, several sir, I am not so inexperienced as you suppose,' replied Jack, j smiling. 'Are you not ashamed to confess it ?' I 'No! why should I be?" Get out of mv gaideu, you young reprobate,' screamed Jabez, leaping up with lightning rapidity. 'To come here, to offer to buy my daughter, as if she were a patch of potatoes. Go I say.' 'Your daughter, Mr. Thorne?' 'Yes, my daughter, you Jack-n dandy.' 'Rut I am not bargaining for -our daughter; I am bargaining for that land across the river.' Don't tell me,' ejaculated Mr'. Thorne, tugging away at the fastenings of his pocket-book, 'jour uncle's letter has informed me of your atrocious intentions.' .Thorne jerked it out of the compartment where it lay, Tind tossed it angrily toward. Lany.. lie e-pened it and in spite of his annoyance and mortification, burst into laughter at tbo sight of Minnie's dainty hand-writing. 'It is nothing to laugh at,' exclaimed Thorne. My dear Mr. Thorne, we are victims of a very ludicrous mistake, said Lacy. My uncle never wrote this letter, it is the work of my mischevious cousin Minnie. The genuine document must have been left behind.' 'And you did not come to look for a wife?' 'I came to purchase real estate' 'Whew !' and Jabez Thorne whistled loud and long, then offered his hand to his guest with a hearty laugh. 'Wp11 mv Imv. I am heartily sorrv I called you so many opprobrious names, but Marv" and I thought you were after i her. I must go and tell the minx what I a blunder we have made.' j 'Stay a moment, sir,' laying a detaini ing hand OE the old gentleman's arm, as 1 his quick eye detected a distant flutter of Miss Thome's light dress among the trees; will you allow mo to make the necessary explanations myself? I am not at all certain that alter I have selected a home, I shall not enter into less buness like negotiations for a charming young wife to preside over it. 'As 3 011 please, my lad,' replied the old gentleman c.hnekling, ''I give yon my consent, if onlv to atone for my villainous treatment of you aw hile ago.' He resumed his gardening operations, occasionally pansin? to laugh all to himself, while cousin Jack sprang up the path to meet Mary. They were absent a longtime in fact, as old Jabez thought, an unreasonably long time, before he discerned through the dense foliage of tho aecacia hedges their advancing forms, Mr. Lacy looking cxceedmgPpi'oad and self satisfied, and ; Mar3 leaning ort bis arm. with her pretty ' cheeks flushed, and her lips wreathed in ; timid smiles.

JIJXE 15, ISCo. i. - PhUosophy -of Money-making. s A X-ectare to Yonnsr Mrs br tae Rev. Hearr ? - - - Ware Brrcser. - An unusually large, congregation assembled recently, at the Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, the attraction being a apecbil discourse to be delivered by Mr. Beecher upon the above subject. ..After the usual preliminary services the reverend gentlemen announced his text from Proverb xxviii, 20 22 inclusive. ' A faithful man shall abound in Llassings," etc, Mr. Beechcr said a faithful man was evidently an honest and an upright man one who obeyed the laws of thrift and economy in all hi business relations ; and while by "him who hastened to be wealthy" was evidently meant, one who disobeyed those laws, and sought money by unjust means, and without rendering a" lawful equivalent therefor. It was this kind of hastening toward wealth which implied destruction destruction moral, and destruction in bnslness crashes, panics and the like. New York, during the past week, has oeen suojeci, mors mausu ui.up, iuu , ... .1 n .1.: . - it.. perpiexuj oi uuciuaiiuu ... .ue. -uv eveu tins civil war, tne successiui lermin- 1 ation of which was now in sight not j even the operationsof Grantor of Sher- j I man could maintain their interest beside ; j the price of gold, and the danger of pan- j ic and commercial failure. In Wall j ! street and William 6treet there had been ' ground and lofty tumbling: failures had j j been the great topic of conversation, aud ! j the wildest exeitement had prevailed, j j Such fluctuations demanded especially j J the careful attention of the young. , I He had seen many panics in the course ,' f of his life. and it was generally said that when business had resumed its wonted course, after one of these financial earth quakes, it required about ten years to develop another. The fact was, after a panic sobriety and moderation generally succeeded, and were the law of business until the crisis that gave rise to their ex ercise was woru out of the minds of the business community. This state ofmorals would continue for four or five years, I and business would pros-per. Then an inordinate thirst for gain would creep in: speculation would become the order of the day, and another crash would follow by a law just as natural as that which regulated the rising and the setting of the sun. Now if there was a law regulating the conduct of business, it was worth the while for men to find it out and profit by it and this, might be done by a species of induction. The first step toward demoralization was the abandonment of

fixed methods of business. Men would !

lents. Jiere came in wliat tne wise man called "the evil eye" of him who Lasted to make monej'. Men would undertake to fix fictitious values; and fortunes would be suddenly made and as suddenly lost. The desire for wealth was not of itself necessarily immoral. On the other hand it was a source of great good j and of great influence in society. It was ! only when this desire became inordinate, j when avarice took - the place of a just j appreciation of value, that it became j reprehensible iu the extreme. ( In this state of mind men would begin J to put upon the regular course of busii ness enormous bubbles; companies I would spring up like musketoes in a j Southern swamp, aud like them, admirably adapted to purposes of suction, the 1 most ingenious appeals would be made 1 to the cupidity or the credulity of the j men ; and whoever hail invested would i burst with it.

Presbyterian Assembly in Brooklyn First Step in Reconstruction. . FisiiKiLL, ox thk Hrisos, June 1, The recent session of the Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn presented a singular and a pleasant contrast with those which assembled near thirty years ago. Then there was wrangling and division. controversy and debate. Now, all hearts ! moved together peacefully and harmonij onsly. Then, the Church disputed vio- ; lentiy about points of theology, between j which common sense people can discover no ditfereuce. Then, the Church follow. 1 ing ambitious leaders, divided Into facI tions. Then, rankling at the bottom, and j beyond all these, lay the great question ; of American slavery.

The first of these was the : subject of Home Missions, . especially the supply r if the destitute thurcht of ik South. The war has caused the same desolation to the Church that it has of society and commerce throughout the wide field of the rebellion. Iu many places the pastors are fled and the congregations scat-'.' tered. Some of these pastors in the midst of rebel communities unvisited by our armies may return and in some remain. Rut there are many others where the people are loyal, or, within reach of our arms, who will never be allowed to return.

Another question which came before the Assembly was that of rewustt ut tion. Curiously enough the Geweral Assembly In Brooklla trtade thejir rtep As A mtiual teori bf rtrtnutruttn. ThiSsTSay seem a small step but ia historically-Important. The history of the case was this : ' After the Exscinding Act of 1837 (which di vided ' the Presbyterian. " Church) the great body of Southern churches went with , the Old School ; for one of the main pointa in the controversy was the question of t alavery. All the 7 Presbyteries in the South proper went with them. D. Thokxwku.( theological teacher in the College of South , Carolina, at Columbia) was one of the leaders, and taught with seal and ability, the doctrinea of Cilhoim. Only two Synods, I believe, ia Tennessee and Virginia, remained with the New Schools - These were Cora posed mostly of anti-slavery people. Still, some of their principal men, such as Dr. Rosa of Tennessee, adhered to the pro-slavery doctrines, and at tbe Assembly in Cleveland alt the remaining Presbyteries In the South went off because the Assembly adopted a moderate an ti-slavery utterance. After that the New School Assembly was a purely anti-slavery body. The war came on; the rebellion waa quelled; and now, as I bare described, those Churches are, many of them, desolate, and many of them want to return to the arms of the mother Church. Two Presbyteries, Union and Greenville, of East Tennessee sent delegates to the Assembly Messrs. La max and Dixom who had passed through the furnace ef affliction. The question of receiving them came before the Committee on Church Polity, of which Dr. Fisuan was Chairman. Ample testimony was received as to the loyalty of the delegates and the condition of tho Churches in that region of country. The result wss that the dele (rnte were received. The Preabvterv of Hols ton was constituted constitu tionally) out of three loyal ministers; and these three Presbyteries Union, Greenville and Hols ton were constituted the Synod of East Tennessee. Say what we will of poll teal reunion, this is the Ant real practical step toward a solid and durable reunion of the people. We must look to social and religious influences to restore the country to a true and permanent unity. We cannot force mind hy law. We eaa restore corernntent and compel peace and order by law. But we want more than that. We want all the social and religious influences to be united in harmony in carry ing forward a work of regeneration true, real, glorious and permanent Social regeneration in the South will be brought about by the abolition of slavery, the migration of thousands of Northern "men, and tbe immigration of tens of thousands from Europe, heretofore cut oft by the dark form of African servitude. Society will then be regenerated; but it will be in vain unless tbe sanctions of our holy- religion can be restored to the Southern heart. Will it be denied that these sanctions are not felt there r Just look what is going on In Virginia. The oath of allegiance is utterly disregarded. Tbe rebel soldiers return and vote, while they are as much rebel as ever. Political reconstruction will, ia some of the rebel States, fail for want of moral obligation. And why have not they moral obligations? Becauae the clergy have systematically taught them that tne Government need not be obeyed, and loyal oaths are void. The consequence ia that ii$ bayonet mutt govern till tk teaching! of th pulpit art untaught. Here is the great work of regeneration. "Send your men by thousands to the South. 7 Send the missionary with them ; for It is a land of moral darkness and fearful errors. But it is a land of wealth a land of -Americans a land of the brave, ( now the land of the free). And I confidently expect to see a restoration of whatever is admirable ; and a coming of whatever is excellent; and a unity, and growth, and harmony which baa never been known, even In this prosperous soaatry.
