A SKKTCI1. Charles Li ml en was the son of a respectable firmer, who was in ordinary circumstance?, hut not wealthy, lie was a young man of strict morality diligent research and Lrilliant intellect. After he had completed his education, attained more by indefatigable labor, than by the bounty of a liberal parent, he set out in the world to depend entirely on his own exertions for support, lie removed from the place of his nativity to a small but flourishing village to commence the practice of the law. Early in youth a mutual affection had sprung up between Charles and Caroline Childen a beautiful and accomplished girl the daughter of one of their neighbors. Mr. Childen had been dealing extensively and was considered to be a man of wealth. Long before Charles had removed from the scene of all his youthful joys where he passed so many happy hours in the society of Caroline where he had often whispered into her attentive car all his fond anticipations of future prosperity they had mutually plighted their vows of etcrnal constancy they had often told each other their talc of love and talked as if no cloud however dark and lowering, could obscure their hitherto cloudless sky. Shortly after the departure cf Charles, a man named James Midour came into the town where Caroline resided. lie was a young man of prepossessing appearance and affable manners. His fithcr was said to be a very wealthy merchant living in one of the eastern cities. James had been brought up in the lap of luxury without tho'c wholesome lessons of frugality and economy that are necessary to have to pass through the world.' Indulged in all the extravagancies of misguided youth. gratified in his desires he had become totally unprepared to sustain himself through life. His youth had been spent in lively society and had been so much accustomed to "quail' the liquid cup" that dissipation had fastened hi chains upon him. On settling in the town he had paid his attentions to Caroline and in return demanded her hand. She replied that she was engaged and rnuld not comply with hU request. Fired with the idea thai he was to be ou rivalled by a backwoodsman without money, he determined to obtain her hand let the sacrifice be as great as it would. In the meantime Mr. Childen had met with some heavy losses, and well knew that unless he could derive assistance from some friend, must ultimately fail. IVuig intimate with James, he disclosed his misfortunes to him, and requested pecuniary aid. The rejection of his hand, flashed at o:ice across the. mind of Midour, and the thought I'girested itself of making ChildeiTs misfortunes subservient to his own ambitious views. He immediately proffered his aid. in case of Caroline's compliance with his request. Childen scorned the idea, and abruptly left him. Ihit misfortune? "gathering thick and heavy over his head,' his conscicncious scruples vanished and he determined nothing should destroy Lis expectations of worldly pomp and show. He met Midour, and the terms were agreed to, without the consent orknowlekgc of Caroline.
It was evening. The dwelling of r . t . .....
Jur. v.niktenexlubited an unusually lively appearance. All was activity. The numerous servants were seen hurrying to and fro. The setting sun when dipping its disk in the western ocean, reflected its brilliancy upon the windows of the beautiful village of as if it had stopped to take a look at a world in which its majesty too pure to remain, was about to take its last farewell. Already had the cay group began to assemble. All wore in their countenances the lively and animating sensations that throbbed about their hearts. The happy assemblage of youth exchanging looks and expressions of joy happy as if ignorant that they were about to loose one of their most lovely and amiable companions happiness and celestial joy imprinted in their svlph like tread, while tripping lightly over the floor, like the lain!) as it gambol through the grassy plain all combined were at once sullici'mt to melt the heart of the stoic into affability and mirth. The company had been collected a short time, and the moment was fast approaching when the fur Caroline was to be the wife of James the proud, haughty, arrogant James Midour. The buy hum of c onversation had began to abate and listless anxiety to take its seat. The door opened. James with gratified ambition strongly painted in his countenanc in rhapsodies at the idea of the beloved of his less wealthy th ugh more successful rival, being his bride appeared in the, gay circle, hi irmfnrirrhng that of the b-aufifil Car
oline with licr soft and expressive eye
reddened with weeping her jet black ringlets hanging in graceful curls on her alabaster neck the rosy flu Mi that usually stood upon her delicate features now descitcd and ashy paleness had taken its place her graceful form bent as if in grief, seemed at once to say that although she was about to give her hand to the one on w hom she leaned ; yet her
heart was not there. The minister in his sacred garb had taken his station, and commenced the ceremony that was to bind the lovely Caroline to one whom she did not love which compelled her to give her hand to one when her heart had long been another's. A noise as if one running was heard in the Hall. In a moment the door was thrown open, and a large, athletic man, with frenzy in his visage, rushed in, and at the moment the fatal yes was to be pronounced, seized Caroline round the slender waist who at his appearance hastily withdrew her arm from that of Midour and made a step forward carried her out of the room, and in an intant placed her upon a horse, immediately mounted another himself and with the velocity of lightning disappeared from the house tint was about (o be the scene of her misery. The whole company gnzod at each other in mute astonishment and fear. Midour was parahzed the mother of Caroline swooned away, and the father was unable to speak a word. When their spirits had revived from the momentary ex citement, no one could tdl who the mysterious stranger was, or why Caroline had approached him. The recollection of this novel scene had nearly vanished nor ever was it revived, except when a group were collected round the fireside, relating the various scenes through which they had passed. One evening the following letter was placed in the hands of Mrs. Childen: '1)hr Motiikr: Your mind has no doubt been harrassed to account for the disappearance, of your Caroline. I will (ell you briefly. It was Char! js my love ! Chailes who rescued me from (he hands of one thai did not want me. except to gratiliy his ambition. Although from pecuniarv motives you desired my marriage with Midour, I told you I would rather live in poverty with my Charles. Fortune has favored us and we have prospered beyond our expectations. Charles is now wealthy and we have three blooming children. I am happy in my retirement, and should be glad to see you in our habitation of peace. Carouxr Linden." Midour soon sunk into dissipation and gae way to all kinds of excess. After a few years of debauch, he died, an untimely victim to intemperance. Lebanon Star. m.Yi.oai'i: ON PKIXTIXC. "Can't you print me a lhblc?"' said a good old lady who, some years ago, came into the printing ollice in the country. "Certainly," said a man at the care, who was dabbing at the type like a hen picking up corn "certainly, madam, but not just at the present, 'it'll take some (ime to do it." "Oh," returned the old lady, "for that matter I 'm in no great hurry ; any time to-day will answer." "To day!' exclaimed the printer, in astonishment; "why, madam, on don't th.nk " J "Oh yes," said the good woman, scaling herself on a bench, and taking out her knitting; "I can wait just asvell as not. It's only about I o'clock now, and I 'spose you 'II get it done before tea." "H'hal! print a Bible in an afternoon! W hy, madam, it would take me and my
wcii a wuoieyear to print a JJible. ' "Oh, my gracious,"exclaimed the old lady, starling up in astonishment, 'Sou don't have the Evil one to work for you, do you V "Evil one! Ye?, he 's evil enough, the lazy dog?" " I would'nt have him print a Bible for me on no account; I should'nt believe a word on't, if he did, for he's a liar, and the father of lies." "I don't know whether he's the father of lies or not. Hut it's true enough, he's a lying little devil; there is no trusting him. 1 mean to cancel his indentures." " Well, good bye, Mr. Printer, I could not think of having a good book done in such a h id ollice. Employ the Devil, oh dear!" The old lady made her war, w ith all haste, out of iue office; and when it is considered that she was unacquainted with the technical language of typographers, and did not know U,e difference between the printer's devil and Old Nick himself,it must be owned that her horror was very natural. A gentleman in Gtorgiaso report says, not long since returned a borrowed hook, unfquestrd !
ANIMAL SAGACITY. The antipathy which an individual sometimes feels against the brute creation is much softened down if thev exLibit any marked sagacity of character. It is so in relation to dogs. The deep and long cherished fondness exhibited sometimes by this animal for their mas ters often creates the most lively astonishment. It may well reproach human friendship and love, which seldom goes through the crucible with half the stability and firmness this affectionate animal exhibits. There is sincerity in the grief of a dog, and undisguised sorrowin his meanings, lie is seldom an object of distrust. He never affects sorrow nor puts on airs of frivolity and levity of character which he docs not feel. W hether he gnaw a bone or sicken over the deserted grave of his master, he is still the same kind and tractable beast. Besides these excellent traits of amiability and goodness of character, his sagacity elevates him high in the scale of animal excellence.

comprehend language intuitively. Any
agricultural implement his master may
want, he will return from the field to

thing is inadvertently left behind, a word is only necessary from his master for him to return back and fetch it.

A i;oon hit. Previous to an election in Ireland, a landlord of considerable fortune and interest went over to his estate ; he saw one of his tenants digging potatoes and thus addressed him: "Paddy, how do you do?" Paddy, unaccustomed to such a salutation, looked wildly round to see from whence it could come; on perceiving his landlord, and taking oil his hat, he answered, "pretty well, sir, I thank you; 1 hope I see you well." The landlord continued his conversation hy asking, "what news have you, Paddy, in this part of
the world?" to which the tenant repli
ed, "in truth, sir, I have none, except
that I think we shall soon have an Lire-
tion, or some such sort of tiling." The
landlord asked, "what makes you think so, Paddy '?' The tenant replied, "only
