He has come tothy I have known Thou mayst depend upon him for me that he can do, and shall If thou canst “I say—why don’t you get a wife?

The door bell was tung. The servant ushered Copeland into a small neat parlor, where sat a lady apparently twenty-five or thirty years of , plainly iressed, engaged in knitting a stocki Our friend bowed and inquired for Mrs. Richards “She is not in, but expected presently ; will you be seated ?’’ There was an ease and quietness, and an air of self-command about this person which seemed peculiar to Copeland. ¢ felt at ease atence, (you always do with such people.) male some common-place remark, which was immediately responded to; then another; and soon the conversation grew so interesting that Mrs. Richards was nearly forgotten. Her ab- sence was strangely protracted, but at length she made her Fp! The document rst was presented ance at the outside. “Bir Copeland.” Charles bowed. “Miss Peyton” The young lad od. And thus they were introduced there was no particular reagon for remaining any longer, and our friend took his departure. That night Annie said to Mr. B., “I like his appearance, father.”’ <4 Borward—mareh,?* said old Paul, and be looked at his daughter with vast satisfaction “The old man’s as swate to-night as a new potato,”’ said James to the cook. The next day Charles Copeland came very near writing, several times—* To Miss Pey- ton, Dr,’’ as he was making out some bills cf merchandize sold. * Delivered the paper last evening?” Copeland bowed “Mrs. Richards isan old friend—humble in circumstances; the young lady Peyton worth her weight in gold any day—have ber myself if I could.”’ ‘How much you remind me of Mr. Bre man,’ said Charles one evening to Annie ; “ I thiak you said Po were a relation of his” “I am related to him through my mother,” was the ate reply Mrs Richards turned away to conceal « smile Somewhat later than usual on that day Annio reached her father’s house There was no mistaking the expressiva of her counte nance. Happiness was very plainly writtea there “TI see, I see,’’ said the old man ; count is cl —books balanced—ha throuzh now in short order. You are a sensi ble girl—n» foolish puss—just what I wish— bless you child, bless you.” The next day Paul came, for almost the first time in his life, rather late to his count ing-room. Casks and boxes seemed to be starting with wonder. ‘Copeland, you are a fine fellow—heard from Mrs. Richards—proposal to my relation— Peyton—all right—done up well. Come tomy house this evening—never been there yet, eh ?—eight o'clock precisely—want to sce you—got something to sa ** How much interest he seems to take in this matter,” said Charles. “ He's a kind sid fellow in his way; a little rough, but good at heart.” Yes, Mr. Charles Copeland, even kinder than you think for. At 8 o'clock precisely the door bell of Mr. Bremas’s mansion rung. Mr. Charles Cope- land was ushered in by friend James. (id Paul took him kind!y by the hand, and turn- ing around abruptly, introduced him to “ My daughter, Mies Annie Peyton Breman, aad immediately withdrew. “Charlea, you will forgive me this?” He was too much astonished to make any reply. If you knew all my motives and feelings I am sure you would.’ That ihe motives and feelings were son ex- plained to his entire satisfaction no one will doubt. “Copeland, my dear fellow,’’ shouted old Paul, as he entered the room, “no use in long engagemeat!”’ “Ob father!” “Nouse, Lsay; married now—get ready afterwards; next Monday evening! who cares’ Want it over; feel settled.

Be quict will you; won't stay in the room?” id have now finished my story, reader, I have given you the facts. I cannot say, bow- ever, that i rove of the deception prac ticed upon our friend Charles. As, however, our Lord commended the ** unjust steward be- cause he acted wisely,’’ so I suppose the good sense shown by the young erg d in choosing a husband for the sake of what he was, and uot for the sake of what he might have od, merits our approbation. It is not every one who has moral courage —— to step out of the circle which surrounds the wealthy, and seeks for those qualities of mind and heart which the purse can neither give nor take away. GaP William Howard Russel, the Crimean correspondent of the London Times, has be- come quite popular in Europe by his reports. He is the son of a merchant in Dublin, born in 1516, and after having received a superior education, he studied law and practised as an attorney in Dublin and London, where he made his first essays as an author, and be- came soon a fayorite reporter of the Times. Tie Morning Post succeeded in attac’ him to its staff for a time by brilliant offers, but he soon returned to the Times, and was always employed in matters requiring an impressive aad enthusiastic style of writing. At the outbreak of the present war he went as spe- cial a for the Times to the Crimea, where he has since remained, without tnter- ruption, excepting for a short period when be was at Sherapia. His reports from the camp have been the delight of all true friends of England, because they exposed the misman- agement of the War Department in the most unsparing manner. But, on the other hand, they work the best results for the brave sol- diets of the East; for, without bis indefatiga- ble and eloquent exposition of their wrongs, they would never have been red: . tis natural, therefore, that Russe! should be as hei at favorite with the soldiers. “Ruseel bes been an a contributor to Dickens's Houschold Wérks, and Bentley's Miscellanies. gy One of the superstitions of France is, that e fire kindled by lightning cannot be ox- tinguished, and he who attempts to extinguish it will die within the year.
