Mariii True that system, of moral and rfiii^fus training which should form so cssQUtiai^part of female education, had been sadly ifeglected, yet sho possessed, natur. ally, a |trong, well ballanced mind, and a true Wool's heart, susceptible of the livIrest emotions. Her disposition was proud and unyielding in the extreme but unappreciated by those who looked not beneath the coltl scornful exterior, was an undercurrent tmdeep feeling, a view of real genuino r?flrtt«nfdnt. And then thero was not otio in ttte littles village ol

uouU via Aii her in point of personal attractions. !$be was really a beautiful girl, with ilurk wiivy hair,a pure alabaster brow, .« compkxim in which the rose and ihe Hily swoetly blended, and a pair of the most bewitching bliie eves. Maria Was indeed the acknowledged B«lIo of the village, but owing rather to her predominant love of #pon, then any intention of wilfuly inflicting pain on tho hearts of others, she had ac* quired the unenviable reputation of being a heartless coquette. It was at this juncture she had fortiied an acquaintance with Henry Edwards, young man of respeotable, but poor parentage. Ambitious, and envious of distinction, he had entered the broad arena of ftctive life with the laudable determination of carving lor himself a name imperishable as the annal* of hU country. With a naturo sensitive, to a painful degree, ho was

ope likely to forgive or

fbrget an injury. His appearance was prepossessing and with his affable manners, and frank, open countenance he soon won for himself the friendship of those with whom he associated. Maria's personal beauty first attracted his attention towards her, aud ho was equally^ pleased with her lively agrefcble, manner.fe lle became her constant attendant at all the little ptrties and social gatherings in the* village, aud it is not surprising that the esteem he Srst felt for her saoa ripened into a stronger*, tender* «r passion. Maria liked him better than any one she had ever met but unfortunately «he could not overcome at once, and entirely the habit ehe bed so long indulged of trifling with the affections of others. This,

Edward we* not long in discovering, annulling he had been to believe it of one who had to deep hold upon his affections, liio reproached her rather stead ly for ttius y&duljging her trifling propensities the re-

Milt wit, they quarreled* end he lift her in displeesure 4f oot engry. Thk result wa* jar from increasing *h« happiness of Maria, •he was, though ehe would not acknowledge it even to herself, reaping the first bitter fruiis of her folly, still she sought to *tt«oh ail the bUme to her lover, ahe thought him cruel, exacting, and over eensi* titre end »a this, »he did not judge him wrongfully. And ehe was now regardedin a Ughl by Inward.—

Hvery little detect of character that bad before been unobserved was now magnified iuto glaring error*. Ue believed her a eel.jfoh designing women, end re«:lutely «rov# to banish her i»ege from hi. betrt «s unworthy plee* Kim. Howe*wr «ico*eeul be rnightt b»*t been in this, the rem««ibcrance of her ®oodt»«l etitt lightened in his breast piroducing a feeling »ry •kin to rcseatmenJ, end a de#«* to eveag, not only bin»*«lf. but half a ».»« of village aweine who bad, already, eaci» hwd upon ihe altar of her aSM*» tfib*tt»itf faithful heart, ooly to have Aw coldly spumoU. lq the awUt of eucb rebt)»io«« called him to the «iiyi

and for many months *e heard nothing concerning him. /r1lfaria after indulgir-g in a bearty fit of weeping and many bitter iovecativee against her truant lover, again appeared bright and beautiful as ever, ber faoe wreathed in smiles and ber laugh the gayest to be beard. But a practiced eye might sec that ber gayety was partly assumed, that there wi a feeling of regret and sadness at ber heart, she sought, in vain to conceal.— But her proud spirit was far Irons being humbled and while ber unwonted hilarity rendered her more facinating than ever, I noticed with pain the consequences of her late flirtation*, instead of producing the salutory effects boped, was rendering her daily more haughty and exacting than before. it was on the eve of a public feetivity that Henry Edwards returned to the village, his appearance much improved by a year's residence in the city. By mingling in refined society his manners had acquired a pleating polUh, which added to a liberal education, a fine form,a handsome face and an unimpeachable'cbaracter, rendered bim a dangerous companion for the gentle unsophisticated maidens, a formidable rival to the purse-proud young gentlemen of H« had selected for himself that path in life which he had ever had an eager deaire to follow, and was now dilligently pursuing his studies. He aimed at eminence in the profession he had chosen, and he knew this must bo attained, if at all, by his own, unaided efforts. He gladly joined in the general festivities on the day succeeding his return and pe»formed no unenviable part in the cercmonies of the occasion,

During the evening he sought the side of Maria Stanly,she received him coldly .but the kind, familiar manner in which he addressed her, awBkoned the dormant feelings of her heari and in spite of the remonstrance of haughty, unyielding pride she could do less ihan treat him wiith the courtesp due an old acquaintance. Iu a propitious moment he alluded to the past, but |seemingly without any of the bitter feelings she had expected him lo manifest. Mutual explanations and apologies followed, and these were, of course.followed by mutual protestations of frinedahip and regrels that each had so blindly mistaken the character of the other.

Again was Edwards constant as her shadow, in hi& attendance on Maria, he walked with her, rode with her, sung with her, and indeed seemed really bappy, only, in her society. And Maria too had suddenly changed, she was now longer the proud, selfwilled, heartless coquette he had pronounced her, but a gentle, loving, trusting woman whose love any man might have been proud to "wear as a jewel upon his heatl.'* The hidden depths of feeling in her soul that only needed the touch of a akillful hand to start into a living breathing, sparkling fountain had been reaohed, and unreservedly had she yielded her heart's purest affections to his keeping, whom she loved as only a woman with a heart such as she processed can love. *r"'"

It was soon rumored that n»y young friends were engaged, and the report was socn confirmed to me by Maria herself, as has already been seen. They were to be married when he should be admitted to the bar. I loved Maria and 1 felt that a dark cloud was brooding over her, ready to break,*ith relentles fury on her unprotected head. But tha present was all beauty, all sunshine and would not for worlds have darkened one hour of her existence by breathing a syllable of the dark suspicions that forced themselves upon my own mind.. «.

Mentha flew by and happy months they were to Maria. Life, to her. was one sweet day dream of happiness. For hours she would sit and talk of the thousand and one little plane she would form for domestic enjoyment. And how her eye would brighten, and her cheek flush, and how eloquently she would speak if "Harry" were the subject of conversation. In what glowing color* shefpainted the future. Ala»! Maria thine was a rudo awakening from a beautiful dream.

At length the long wished for period arrived and Edwards was admitted to the practice of his profession. But instead of the gay eeens add happy hearts, the (houghs of which we had learned to associate with that event wo saw nothing but the sad change in Maria. She was no longer the life of the social circle, her face no longer assumed the happy expression it wore a few months before. Her merry ringing laugh was more seldom heardThere was a shadow on ber brow and a oanker at her heart, but to the kindest enquiries, as to the course ol her untaappiness, a sad smile or a startling tear was the only answer. There was no preparation* being made for anticipated nuptiaU, for at the request*) Edwards, who pleaded pecuniary tmbarassmenu the engagement bad been indefinitely prolonged. The truth was he bad grows strongly indifferent to Maria of late, ilia visits were ha# frequent and bis manner less devoted theft tarmeriy. Wbol# days often past Without her seeing Mm, true he excused himself ou plea of business, what weight bad such a plea when placed in the balance with the anguish she endured, during tho*e long cfeeertess days, the oon&ct b«twcMQ hope and tear, pride and teftderccssto her breast,** hour after

hour she would watch to catch the soond cf his approaching footsteps, or stsrt at the sound of every voice. .Then a sh^tdder would pass over ber frame, and the hot tears start to her eyes as a thought of his faithlessness would intrude itself upon her mind. WhatJ Henry Edwards faithless, no! she knew it could not be. He was the very soul of honor. And ahe would reproach herself for toftrboring a thought so inimical to his character.

At length the final parting canoe. Edwards left the village to enter upon the duties of his profession in a distant part of the State. It was some time before any tidings of him reached P———, but at length a letter came to Maria, a death blow to all her cherished dreams of haf piness.— He formally asked to have their engagement broken otf, tor obvious reasons, be said, which he presumed she would readily conceive. He had been actuated to this by a desire for the happiness of both, which, a anion between them, he was convinced, would not tend to promote. Maria did not faint on reading this cruel letter, sho did not even weep but with strict calmness she pursued, and re-pursued it while every word was a dagger to her heart. A new channel was opened into which ber thoughts had never before flowed. She saw it all a*, a glance, she had been made a vitcim to the designing arts of the man, with the best affections of whose heart, she had thougthlesbly trifled. She saw her error, tried to humble her proud defiant spirit, to acknowledge the justness of her punishment, but oh! it was hard, thus to have its blighted love coldly thrown back upon a trusting heart, to sear and wither with its fierce intensity the purest affections of the soul. But nobly did she resolve to rise superior to herself and, though her heart might break in the effort, to submit unmurmcringly to her fate, tocome forth from the bitter, ordeal chastened and purified, with loftier, holier, truer purposes in life. And nobly did she suceed.

Five years have past visit now the old school room in during school

hours, and at the teachers desk, surround-

tion that instinctively rivets the gaze of the beholder. There are indelible traces of suffering on he face, and there seems a life shadow on her heart, but wherefore one would scarcely imagine, for she never speaks of the past there are shadows there, too, and she loves not to gaze upon them. Sdch is now Maria Stanly. Her step is not as elastic, nor her eye so bright as formerly, but she is scarcely less beautiful. And she is happy, the bitterness of her early disappointment is past, and she has learned to set a true estimate on life, to seek her own happines in living and laboring to promote that of others. She seldom joins iu the social amusements of her young compan-

enjoyment and clouding every sunny pros-

pect in the future. Ue rarely visits his rela-}

tives in for there

his memory. Thus by one wrong, un-

worthy act, a wngJe deviauon from the path

of rectitude, has he entailed upon himself a

hfe of sadness ind remorse.

A Beautiful Tribute to a Wife. Sir James Mackintosh, the historian was married early in life before he had attained fortune or fame, to Miss Catharine Stuart, a young Scotch lady, distinguished more for the excellencies o|,her character than for her personal charms*, .-^After eight years of happy wedded life, during which she became the mother of three children, she died. A few days after her death, the bereaved husband wrote to a friend, depicting the character of his wife in the following terms: *1 wag guided in my choice only by the

During the moat critical period of my life, she preserved order in my affairs, from the care of which she relieved me. She gently reclaimed me from dissipation she urged my indolence to all the exertions that have been useful and creditable to me: and she wasfperpetually at hand to admoni.ih my heedless improvidence. To her I owe what ever 1 am lo her whatever I shall be. In her solicitude for my interests, she never for a moment forgot my feelings or my character. Even in her occasional resentment, for which I but too often gavo he cause, (would to God I could recall those mo ments!) she had no sullenness or acrimony.

On pleasant days he exhibits him self on the fashionable promenades, to th« admiration as he supples, of every fair dy who is fortunati enough to cross his path. The severest labor bis hands perform is to tote a dainty cane, about in his daily walks. The only 'head work" to which ti« would stoop, is to twirl aud coax a reluctant moustache, or bathe his glossy locks and ringlets in 'odor sweet.' He is ineonsol»~ ble over a soiled boot, and would be driven to distraction where he compelled to appear in tumbled linen.
