One fine winter evening, carly in the preseat century,.Colorel ———-, and his maiden sister, Patty, were sitting on each side of a delightful hickory fire, enjoying their ofiwm cum dignitate, with- out interruption. for at least an hour; and that, considering the sex of Miss Patty, was very remarkable. The Col- onel was sitting cross-legged in a great arm-chair, with his spectacles on; and his pipe in one hand anda newspaper in the other—fast asleep. Miss Patty was moving herself gently forward and back- ward in a low rocking-chair. Close by her so epeed ~ ~ while Carlo was stretched out at full length upon the rug in front of the fire, like his master, fast asleep. ‘ At length the Colonel roused from his nap, took off his spectacles, rubbed his eyes, then, glancing at a very large pile of papers that lay on the table near him, said— “I wish Henry was here to help me about my rents.” ‘Well, I really wish he was,” an- swered his sister. “T can’t expect him this month yet,” yawzed the Colonel. ‘“‘Hadn’t you better send for him?” said his sister. Upon this the dog got up and walked towards the door, ‘« Where are you going, Carlo 2” said the old man. ‘The dog looked into his master’s face, waged his tail, but never said a word, aud pursued his way towards the door: and as he could not weil open it himself, Miss Patty got up and opeced it for him. The Colonel seemed perfectly satisfied, and was composing himself for another nap, when the loud and joyful barking of the dog announced the approach of some cue, and roused him from his lethargy Presently the door opened, and a young man gaily entered the room. ‘Why, William Henry, is that you?” said Aunt Patty. “Henry, my boy, Iam heartily glad to sec you,” said the Colonel, getting entirely out of the chair, and giving his nephew a hearty shake of the hand. ‘* Pray, what has brought you home so suddeniy ?” ‘Oh, I do not know,” said Heary, “it’s rather dull in town, so L thought I Would just step up and see how you all came on.” “Weil, I am giad to see you; sit down,” said the Colonel. “So do,” said his sister. ‘* There, aunt, is a bottle of first rate snuff for you: and here, uncle, 1s one of those capital Marachine.”” « Thank you py boy,” said the Colo- nel. ‘Positively 1t does my heart good to see you in such fine spirits.” * And mine, too,”’ said his sister. Henry, eiher anxious to help his uncle or himself, broke the seal from the to; of the bottle of cordial, and drew the cork, while Aunt Patty got some glasses “Well, my boy, said the Extonel whose good humor increased every mo- ment, ‘‘ what is the news in B—— ? Anything happened ?”” “ No—yes,” said Henry, “I have got one of the best stories to tell you that you ever beard in your life.” “Come, let's have it,” said he, iilling his glass “Well, you must know,” said Henry “that while I was in town I met with an old and parti:ular friend of mine, about my own age. About two months ago he fell desperately in love with a young girl, and wants to marry her, but deres not without the consent of his uncle, a fine old gentleman, as rich as — as Crovsus—do take a little more cor- ial. “Why, don’t his uncle wish him to marry ?” inquired the Colonel. “O.yes,”’ resumed Heary, ** but there’s the rub He is very anxious that Bill should get a wife, but he’s terribly afraid that he'd be taken in; for it is generally understeed that he is to be the gentle- man’s heir. And as for his uncle, though very liberal in every thing else, he sus- pects every lady whe pays his nephew the least attention, of being a fortune hunter.” * Tho old scamp !’’ said the Colonel, = why can’t he let the boy have his own way ? « [think as much,” said Patty. “‘ Weil, how did he manage ?” said the Colonel. “ Why,” said Henry, ‘he was in a confounded pickle. He was afraid to ask his uncle’s consent right out; he could not manage to let him see the girl, for she lives at some distance. But he knew that his uncle enjoyed a good joke, and was an enthusiastic admirer of beauty. So what does he do, but go and g=t her miniature taken, for she was extremely beautiful, besides being intelligent and accomplished. “* Beautiful! intelligent! accomplished!” cl—* pray what ob- have to her ?” in- “Why, she is not worth a cent,” said Herry. s - Fudge,” ssid the Colonel—« I wish I had been in the old chap’s place; how did he get along ?” “Why, as / said, he had a picture taken, and it w&s about the time of col- lecting rents, he thought it would make the old .nan good natured if Le went home and offered to assist him; and so answering all inquiries, he took the min- iature out of bis pocket—handed it to his uncle, and asked him how he liked it— The old gentleman wasin an and that Bill might have “ Ha!” shouted the Colonel, «‘the old chap was well come up with. “The best | chase, jokeI ever heard; but was she really| his wife,a handsome revolver, for the beautiful?” “The most angelic creature I_ ever Henry, “but you can judge, STAR, This excelent Pamily and News Journal—con Udning a greater variety of interesting reading than can be found im any other—is published on Saturday ‘TERMS.

THE aRT+UL WOMAN. Boston is said to be the most :ntelli- gent and moral city in America. The Boston Herald, of a recent date, has the following : . “We have among mea the artfal dodger who stops at nothing to accomplish his plans, and amcng females the artful wo- man, who hesitates at nothing to cireum- vent @ man. The number of this class of women is neither few nor small, ‘They are cold, selfish, caleuiating, unimpsssioned. They are not in any peculiar sense harlots, but form a separate and distinct class. ‘Their custom is to array themselves in beauti- ful garments, 2nd to Study all the arts of seduction. They are among the best dressed, and most distinguished-locking ladies who promenade the fashionable sireets. Their deportment befor? the public is modest and unexceptionable. one would suspect their true characier, any more than @ Parisian lady, moving in the first circles would be suspected of bzing a spy of the police. Yet the French police have such spies, and Boston con- tains many women—those of whom we are writing—who are every way as art- fal, as enticing, and as tive as any who ever received a bribe from Fouche. Their usual course is, under the stim- ulation of modesty and susceptibility, to fasten their foils upon a warm, impas- sioned, open hearted, unsuspecting, lib- cral man, and upon him they begin to play the whole battery of their charms. their smile is for him; their beauty valued only as it is valued by him; they study his tastes, and conform themselves to his views ‘These acts attract and en- velopes the victim. He watches for her, pants for her, sighs for htr, would dic for her. Their eyes seck each other everywhere, and “eyes speak love to eyes which speak again.” The man soon becomes infatusted—ho isin a delirium of excitemeat. Ho are raised which are never intended be gratified, or if gratified, it is oaly tnore surely to entrap and fasten the d luded man. Seductions are not confaed to the male sex alone. Female seducers are quite as numerous, and the rain they accomplish is as great as that inflicted by the other sex—loss of property, of character, of self-respect, a heritage of rcmorse, and @ conscience that will know no rest. A PERSEVEBING sUITOR. A young man who left this city about seven years agu, to engage in the pasto- rial pursuits of Australia, was, ike chousands more, soon afier suddenly at- tracted by the gold fever, and proceeded to the diggings, where he was rather successtul, and he soon afterwards for- warded the means for three of his breth- ers to join him in his search for gold. Having effected their fraternal patnership, ue opened a store, and began to think of a former ‘flame’ that had warmed his heart in Olid England, but which had never been fanned by him or attended to during his long absence. He selected his choicest nuggets, and forwarded a bag worth £50 .o England, for the young lady and ber brother to come and join him in the geld fields. The tempting treasure reached her hands. but her heart was engaged to another who had gone out to America on a voyage of discovery, and had not written to her for nearly twelve months. In thisdilersma of doubt she pondered, and ber brother pleaded. At length the brother selected a sweet- heart to accompany him, and the party of three persons engaged their berths. paid their fare. and forwarded their lug- gage to the se2port from which they were to embark for the southern bemisphere ; but, before the bride stepped on board, her American lover sudden] > and detained her till the vesse sailed without her—her fare, luggage gone, and friends too!
