In a sweet, rural valley, nesiled arnong the lulls of old .Massachusetts, stands a pleasant village wjth a picaresque intllp ond and factory. Three summt rs ago t:no hamlet was the temporary residence of two young men, who were apparently travelling artists, as their chief occupation teemed to consist in sketching the scenery of the neii;hbosh ood, which was ce'ebrated for its beauty. Their arrival had created some stir among the villagers, lor without a bit of pretension, both young men had a certain dignity of manner that made them be looked up to, and many a pretty factory uirl, as he tripped to her work, cait back a look over her shoulder, if she met either of the strangers. Though the society of the village was unusually intelligent, and the lemales were remarkable for loveliness, there was one famed beyond all the rest, in both mind and person, sweet Edith Mather. She was an orphan, without sister or brother, and lived with an aged aunt, whom she ch:;llv supported by her labor in the factory. Edith was popular with every otu. She was so genile, considered and kind, that even those who at first nvied, learned at last to love her. The younger uf the two artists, whom we shall name Love!!, soon became interested in this sweet creature; at least if looks, tones, and a constant seeking of her presence wero any proof he was thus interested. On,? ilav he and his friend had :!ambered up some rocks on iho steep hill side, from which the village was overlooked, and es they al there, the beil of the faciory rang, and the green was immediately covered with the girls employed in it, wending their way thither after dinner. Among them it was easy to recognize the light and graceful form of Edith. ,1s she not beautiful? W here can vou show me a form so sylph like?' said Lovd, with undisguised enthusiasm. His companion made no reply for a moment, but then abruptly remarked, I think it is lime we left this village.' Why?' asked LoveU, in a tone of surprise. Because, if we do not, you will have that girl m love with you. Your adodration Ts evident to all her friends, an ! you are too honorabla to hold out hones you never intend to fulfil. Hold out hopes I uever tutend to fulfil?' Yea for you don't think of marrying the girl, do you?' 4 To be sure.' Tl, deuce vou do.' Sai 1 his compv nion, starling to his feel in unatiecteu astonishment. LoveU indulged in a hearty laugh, and iben asked, Why not?'

The conversation here ceased: and direct'y the two friends retraced their step? to the village. The next morning L oveH's companion came down stairs attired for a journey.

So the two friends parted, for Lovell remained behind-, and in less thai) a week, il was known everywhere in the village that he and Edith were engaged to be mar ried. If you c?n content yourself with the precarious life of a poor artist,' he sai l, when he told his affection, 'we may be happy.' Edith answered by a look of her bright eyes, so tender, confiding and eloquent, that LoveU adored her from that moment more than ever. In a fortnight they were married, when LoveU took his bride, to see his relations, in the southern city whence he cam . Edith's parting with her aim' wis sorrowful, but il was made in the expee'-it'on o. speedily returning. Airiyed at Phdaielphii. the carriage drove to a handsome residence in W alnut street.

Whose house is this? Have you relatives living thus?' said Edith, surprised at so much magnificence. 'It was my house, it is now yours, dear est,' said her husband, 'I am imt a poor artist, but a man rich in worldly goods, yet richest of all in you ' Three year' have passed since then, and Edith has fulfilled all that her husband foretold of her. She has made the nest of wives: and is one of the most brilliant ornaments of the circle ehe moves in. Lovell's friend married a sidy, fashionable woman, and no greater contrast in happiness exists thsn between these two former friends. A handsome rural collage, filled with all the appliances of luxury, has been erected in Edith's n&tive viilage, and lhuher. every summer, she and her husband repair

We ascended the ladder about twenty feet, and we came to a lar;Te hiiil, the walls, the ceiling, the iljor, covered with clusters of the finest grapes. But we found when we touched them that they were ass olid as the wall itself. We then passed on through Clevel aid's Avenue through a great variety of rooms until we came to Snowbali Room. The avenue here is about eighty feet wide, cediu'r and walls covered with snowballs some perfectly white and some saturated with water, as natural as if thrown there by school boys in their juvenile sports. The walls and ceiling, for more than a mile after passing the snowball room, are covered with flowers of every twiiw and description imaginable.

My third and fourth dy's excursions were, if possible, still more interesting, but 1 cannot describe them in this letter. The chief city which we visited on ihe third day extends over an area of more than two acres. The Black chamber is a black locking place. .My visit to the Holy Sepulchre was the most interesting to me. We passed into the Cave about six miieswhen we came to the avenue leading to the Holy Sepulchre. None can ascend there except ihe most bold and fearless. Only two of our company had courage to ascend. We made our way up a precipice almost perpendicular for about eighty feel; then crawled through a narrow opening between two massive rocks; then passed on about tpn yards horizontally, and came to a row ofstalaoite columns, ihrough which we made our way, and found ourselves standing at the mouth of the Sepulchre. Here the cave is about sixteen feet wide. In the centre, between the walls, was a grave six feel wide nd sixteen feel long, and p. bent i?1! tee' deep. Th3 t dl w.

On the night in question, our friend, after a hearty supper of ham and egg, and a canvass of ihe Fiery Foi ker, ihe old lady having pointed o ;t his bed, felt very weary, and only looked for an opportunity to 4"turn in," though the mosquitoes were trmuping a!! sons of 'wrath, and no net appearedd lo bar ihtm.
