MISCELLANY.
THE llUIXF.D SISTEU. FOI NDED OX FACT. Phc mcrls him in n. lonely hour, Whi n Cupid's love exert his power. When pnions wild and bramine: smile, Conceals the villian's heart of guile. Kl'lZ I Gwa? one of those being that nature decks in all its loveliness, arrayed in charms not acquired by artifice, but such as heaven had de- ..: i cff u.,n;.l,,..tc,.f crnal affection; having been deprived of her mother in early infancy, before the tongue could lisp a parent's name, or the heart appreciate ihe gem thus im-maturc-ly torn from her. At the dale of my acquaintance she had arrived at an age in which the heart is most susceptible of love when the traces of that lender passion leave nn indelible impression upon the mind that can seldom be obliterated. The spirit of happiness beamed in her cheerful countenance, and her jet black exes roiling beneath their dark eyebrows, sparkled with animation and life, the tender carmine played on her cheek, like the soft tinge of heaven's eternal day. In every accomplishment she shone conspicuous her beautiful lingers were early taught to touch the keys of the sweet toned piano while her dulcet voice could warble forth the soft seductive strain in music's richest store; though fond of gaiety, she could at will discard the levity of the girl and assume the lofty intelligence of the woman. The f ither of Eliza was a gentleman of information of sullen and morose disnosiiinn. ilimib f dom infrit v . i one that beheld the errors of mankind

degree of harshness allied to scorn; j though he was aware that it was the! lot of humanity lo err, yet he was a sceptic in the belief t'ur.t it was charitable to forgive. But with all his feelings he was comparatively eentle to bis child; even his harshness was sac-1

Eliza enjoyed not alone a parent's love. She had a brother a few years older than herself, who had launched his expertneed bark on the ocean of life, havir.g left bis home for the distant shore of Asia, where, by his father's influence, he had obtained a lucrative situation. Months had rolled on since his departure, and time that often administers relief lo the wretched, had dried the tears of allliction from the eye of beauty. Elizt still continued to grow in loveliness, having thrown by the simnlicitv of the inexperienced maid to appear the accomplished woman. The fame of her beauty extended far and wide, ana drew around innumerable suitors;

I le was a gay thoughtless youth, handsome In appearance, elegant and refund in manners, whose serpent tongue could beguile the heart of purity itself, and pi ant the dagger of remorse within if. The betrayal of innocence he Considered an act worthy of commendation such wai Eimwt Momo.v, that being io whom Eliza h id entrusled her heart. She beheld in his treacherous smile, sincerity; not susceptible of vicious joy herself, she could only feel the rapture of a lirsl a flection. Morton, to deceive the world and carry the appcamnce that his intentions were honorable, made overtures to Mr. G -, who hesitated not a moment in rejecting them. His piercing e)C and scrutinizing investigation had penetrated the clonk that concealed the monster he dismissed him and commanded Eliza, on Ihe pain of his displeasure, lo discountenance tis addresses. This command, though from ii..i.i it i.i-i a beloved father, ht dared to disobey, and m secret cherished lhat passion that had become iho food of her existence. It was one of those, delightful evenings when nature smiles in all its brilliancy when the high arch of heaven is lighted with its jewelled lamps, that tt coach was seen driving along the avenue that led to the scat of Mr. G ,
stopped at an arbour, concealed from (he mansion by the majestic oaks that reared their ample foliage to the blast. It was there Morion was urging his victim on to crime, and offered his love, as an apology for Ihe inconsiderate step ; lie forced her credulity to believe, that on an elopement their future happiness depended, and that few months would realize her utmost desire a father's pardon and a husband's love. His se

while the abyss of misery yawned be i neath her. Mr. G . after the elopement of his daughter, settled into a despon dency, sold off his estate and sailed for the West Indies, where, shortly after, he fell a victim to the scourge of the tropics, the yclloxc fever, leaving his property entirely to his son, who was al that time settled m Calcutta. Eliza was then residing in the city jof New York, where she was only known as Morton s mistress. She had began to experience that the path of illicit love led not to happiness; her ideal vision of contentment was a phan torn of the imagination lhat had floated by like a summer cloud. In vain did she urge Edgar lo fulfil his promise of marriage; to her entreaties he was deaf, and lo hear prayers he lent no ready ear; day alter day he became more inattentive, plunged deeper into dissipation, and even in the presence ot his prouigate companions he insuiied ins victim. io attentions were paid to El iZ't's supplications if she dar ed remonstrate she was repulsed will scorn lie spurned the heart that a . . :lor.c,,.him? a,!d ,rrimP't'd n Hie maid hc "Wtcd her. She now found herself alone in populous city, with no sympathising bosom to which she could ily to discharge the sorrows of her penitent heart; no ray to which she could turn or consolation, for even hope thai poverty. Her own sex were the first lo spurn her from their doors those who should have thrown. the mantle of Charity over her aberrations to conceal her frailties, were the first to.lacerate the wound: no hand was extended to reclaim this erring child; the portals of mercy were shut; she he.Tul no consolaling voice, bidding those without sin first cast a alone. Unfortunate woman ! One deviation from the track of virtue forever blasts thy name; no tears of penitence can erase it from j an uncharitable world. Men may outlive their shame, and gain once more the eminence they lose; yet deprive a female of that valued gem, place but one single slain upon its escutcheon, and it never can be restored lo its former lustre their star when set can rise no more, or if it should, its former brilliancy is forever obscured. A year had lied since ihe desertion of Morion, a. id Eliza reduced lo the slatc f wretchedness, was living to his departure, as I was returning with him from ihe dock to the hotel, we were accosted by a female dressed in the habiliments of poverty, whose sunken eye bespoke the ravages of pollution. One single glance told Henry her wants, for he had an eye for pity, and a heart open as noon day for heaven-born charity. His purse was at once offered; the liberality ol the gift caused her to rai-e her eyes, when she discovered m ihe generous stranger her brother! She uttered one piercing scream and would have fallen lo the ground had not my arm preven ted her, the bonnet fell from her head, when the long beautiful hair that concealed her features was withdrawn, and though lingering years had chased Ihe rose of beauty from her cheek, still the traces cf its loveliness were left, and Henry beheld in the poor friendless beggar resting on his bosom, his lost, uegraded, but unfortunate sister. ; The novelty of the adventure had gathered u crowd nrmiiwl. nun of whom ! was despatched for a coach, in which it she was conveyed senseless to his lodg nigs. A physician was called but only in time lo sec her breathe her last. The sudden meeting with her nrotner was loo much for her broken spirits to bear excessive joy had burst the chord that sustained her bleeding heart; she opened her eyes, giving evidence of returning reason, Ihey were cast with alFection on Henry as if she solicited his pardou ; he undersood their
meaning and imprinted on her quivering lips the sad token of affection; one
ingle smile, like the Hush ot an eve- . . . . i 11 ning sky, ghmmerea on per maroie countenance, as if she would have said, die content a moment more and her dark lustrous eyes were closed in death. We saw her remains deposited in the cold damp mansion appointed for us all, the dark and silent grave. Henry erected a plain marble slab over the spot and hastily quit the country, that had seen the ruin of his lond anticipa tions in the degradation and loss of a much loved sister. Years have passed since that period, Henry has returned to the land of his nativity, a man ot wealth, though his countenance bears the traces of a secret sorrow originating in the memory of the blasted hopes of early youth. HIXTS rOU NOV EM HER. All firm implements not wanted again this season, should be carefully laid up, after being well cleaned and dried. Every farm should have a building on purpose to contain ihe large implements when net in use, such .s ploughs, harrows, wheel-barrows, cultivators, horse rakes, &c, as well as j for wagons, carts, and sleds; a place should likewise be always ready to receive smaller tools, such as hoes, rakes, forks, chains, axes, scythes, &c, where they should be kept at all times when not actually wanted, and where they may be always found without hunting half an hour for one of them in a hurrying season, when time is most valuable. Wooden tools, if kept well pain ted, and never allowed lo be exposed unnecessarily to the weather, will last four times as long as when this care is not taken, and not require a tenth part of the amountof repairing. When tools are left out summer and winter, exposed alternately to the soaking of rains, and the curling and scorching of a hot sun, the injury sustained far ex ceeds all trouble and expense in taking j care of them; besides the vexation of finding every thing out of place and out of repair at the moment when it is most wanted. Genesee Farmer. A kkem Trick. A sharper, a fewdays since slept into a boot maker's shop in the Bowery, (says a New York paper.) and requested to try on a pair of boots. After a deal of truoble he succeeded in finding a pair which fitted. He then gave a smart stamp with i';6 foot, upon which a man (an accomplice) rushed in and knocked him down. 'Whore is the villain?' said he as he arosc, and istantcr ran in pursuit of the fellow, through the streets, and was soon beyond the vision of Crispin, who lound himself minus a pair of boots. Nice Lvpies. The nice old lady, in Virginia, who scrubbed through the floor and fell through into the kitchen, is but one among the many very nice females with which our country abounds. We know a good lady in New Jersey, who whitewashes all the wood she burns, and another in Connecticut who used three times a day to scour the nose of her lap-dog, to keep him from soiling the dish out of which he ate his meals. The same good lady took her own food through a naping ring, to keep it from coming in contact with her lips. .Veto York Transcript. 'Jonny, wherc's my razor?' bawled an Eastern shoreman as he stood before the looking glass, duly prepared for the operation of shaving. Why, daddy, I've just done opening oysters with it.' 'Well, tarnation, take the boy, run and rub it on a brick bat; and by gosh if you ever do the like again, if yo'u shan't grind it. Jubum Miscellany. "Squire," said a friend of ours the other day, "do you really believe that Jonah was swallowed by the whale?" "Yes," was the reply.
