It was a warm, sultry day in August, one of those quiet. happy days when even the grass: hopper and butterfly seem weary of play, and take an afternoon nup under some green leaf, or enjoy their golden dreams in the fragrant “—< some summer flower. ie high road is travel-worn and dusty, and every shrub and bush by the wayside seems weary of the heat, and drooping veacath the weight of dust. Naught looks cool, save the dark woods in the distance, and the weary pe- destrian longs to turn aside, cross the little rustic bridge which spans the brook, and rest awhile under those wide-spread elms, which stand like sentinels at the entrance of the wood But the cares of life call him away, and he must plod on amid the toil and dust and fever thirst of this world, until the evening brings its dark- ness and rest Not tar frem those trees, at the end of a green lane, stands Father Morris’ cottage. It is plastered and whitewashed upon the ont- side. The fragrant hop, with its luxurious fo- liage and light green blossoms, has covered the gableend of the heuse, and ambitiously climbed to the very roof. while the little door yard in front is filled with flowers and vines. They look as if tended by some more tasteful hand than that of Father Morris, who has spent a great part of his life in the eamp and battle field. Ay, there is the little y who presides over the garden. She has just wheeled her AND YOUNG grandfather's arm chair under the shade of the apery. and is now ing herself on a stool yy his side. How carelessly she brushes those rich brown curls from her forehead, and how coaxingly she looks up into the old gentleman's face. * Now, grandpa, I've done spinning, and put all things in order: grandma is asleep in the bedroom, and Aunt Sally has gone to the Sew- ing Society ; now wont you tell me 2 story of old times?” Father Morris sat leaning upon his large ivory-headed cane. his white hair so long that it almost touched houlders, and his mild blue eye full of quiet enjoyment, as he gazed upon this pet of his old age—his favorite grand-daughter. He patted her gently on the head, and was about to comply with her re- quest. when the suund of the village bell was heard, and its slow, monotonous tones tuld of death. Alice stopped—the smile passed trom her countenance—and turning her head in tue direction whence the sounds came, she raised her fore finger toward her grand-father. if to say, ‘don't speak.’ and commenced counting the strokes of the bell. It was a long time she thus stood, while the old gentleman. who was deaf. sat watching her countenance attentive- ly. Turning towards him at length, she said, « Ninety-eight! it must be old Major Safford.” ‘Grandpa, grandpa,’ she repeated in a louder tone, ‘it must be the Major, for there is no one eize in town so old.” But the old gentleman had fallen into a rey- erie. From the length of time which the bell tolled, he knew for whom it rung those sad notes, and his heart wa= now busy with the past. Memories of other days, of days when the blood circulated swiftly through his youth- ful limbs, and he could boast of health. strength and vigor—scenes of strife and tumult, battle fields and council chambers, of tyranny re-ist- ed, and independence achieved. All these were connected bh thoughts of his friend, who had just passed from earth. What a de- itory of reiics must an old man’s heart be ! Ree buried Powpeii or Iierculaneum present more subjects of ;hought than one human heart, could we look beneath the lava, rubbish and dust with which years and intercourse with the worid have covered it. The erust is often deep and hard to be penetrated, but now then an opening is made, and we have a glance at the depths beneath. It was thus now with Father Morris, and the wise man. had he been there, and looked at the shattered hopes, which. like beautiful ruins, were scattered over that life, and at the stranded, wrecks upon the shore, would have exclaimed anew: * All is vanity and vexation of spirit.” But poor Alice thought only of losing her story Seeing the mood of her grandfather. she sat down by his side. and leaned her head upon hie knee. The trembling hand was by the power of habit inveluntartly laid upon it; but the touch revallod his wandering thoughts. and he said : “<T must follow soon, Ally jons-in-arims are alinost all is worn and rusty, and i mu. but I will not disturb your Go bring my pipe f old times, but it shall be this same Major Saffurd—I can think of no one else this afternoon.” “Td rather hear about something else thought Alice, but ske never thwarted her grandfather's wishes. So lighting his pipe from the embers of the kitehen fire, she returned with her knitting work, and resumed ber seat. * You see, Ally.”” said the old man, after taking a few whiffs from his pipe, and knock- ing the ashes therefrom. holding it in iis hand a moment. and glancing at his snug little cot- tage aud garden. which rustled amid the shrub bery like a bird's nest in the green leaves of a tree, ‘* You see, Ally, matters were not always as pleasant and peaceful as now.

So there ~ grew up a mortal eamity between the parson and the young man, and when the former, with all bis dignity and diguities, viz: pow- th parchwent rolls, and papers | they called deed=, and threatendd to turn us | dered wig. three cornered hat, and silvered buckles, walked the streets, Safford never bowed, but walked straight along, a3 if he scorned obedience to one who would bend the knee to an earthly king. But he still con- tinued to go to meeting, and would sit as pa- tiently through the long sermons and loyal prayers, as good old Deacon Burr himself. The truth was, this same Deacon had one daugh- ter, and a prettier girl than Polly Burr never entered a village church; or, I might say, graced a palace. She had a roguish black eye, and her hair curled naturally; you never saw it in paper, even in the morning ; and then she Was so neat and trim in her gingham short gown and white petticoat, and at mecting she looked pretty enough to make a young man’s heart ache. {TO BE CONTINUED.] eee ee THE FASHIONS, (Correspondence N.Y. Journal of Commerce.} Parts, May 20, 1858. We have many details of the magniticent fetes that haye lately animated both the French aud English Courts. The festivities at the T'u- ileries have been in honor of the Queen of Hol- land, and in England to celebrate the presence of her Majesty of Portugal, the youthful Ger- man princess whose marriage was solcimnized a short time since The late Ihperial Representative. Count de Pers gny, is much regreted in London. Many wurksot attachment were given to the Countess on her departure. A magnificent bracelet of pearls and diamonds was presented to her, by a of the political and fasb- At the head of the list are the Palwerston, Derby, Clarendon and other distinguished names of London society. of all parties. A other present was a locket of pearls, di 3, and rubies, offered to the late ambassadress by the young ladies of her acquaintance. ‘Lhe Lord Chamberlain has issued new and exicting regulations respecting the presentation of ladies to the Queen of England. Two days before the Drawing Room, any lady who proposes to be introduced to the Queen, must leave at the Lord Chamberlain's office, a card, with her name written thereon. and with the name of the lady by whom she is to be presented. In order to carry out the existing regulations that no presentation can be made at a Drawing Room excepting by a lady actually attending that Court, it is also necessury that a letter from the lady who is to make the presentation stating her intention, should aecom: yresentation card, above referred to, w! e submitted t» the Queen for her approbation. To those accustomed to the easy access of ull classes to the White House. and to the facilities offered to strangers by the regulations of the Court of the Tuileries. the formatites required by the English regulations amount nearly to an exclusion. I have iced the offerings, by subscription, to the Countess de Persigny. be- cause testimonials in that way constitute quite a new / s/iow, aud a singular one. considering that the salary of a French Ambassador in London far exceeds the official income of a President of the United States. American Ministers cannot accept presents, or must de- posit them with the Government at Washington. We may presume this rule would not apply to their wives or daughters, especially when the presents are Jy sxbscriptions among tashiona- ble acquaintance ax admiring friends. If the fashion be established, there is hope for our American legation ladies, who, really. are sub- jec'ed to as much trouble and toil as the eu- voys. Lhese unwonted festivities for the month of May, have produced varied descriptions of ball costume. The temperature has beer ithat the heat of acrowned ball room was almost as ea- sily supported as in themonth of January. We have seen, from the atelier of Meame Funvet. 4 Rue de Menars, robes for full dr posed ot a tunic of either blue, pink, or lilac satinover a tulle bouillonne skirt. The low-body is trim- med round the top with a bouillonne of tulle, and ornamented in front with an agraffe of jew ele, or with a bouquet of fiowers. The sleeves are composed of a smal! blue satin jockey ovor # bouillonne of tulle An agraffe to match those on the cursage, is placed on the opening of the jock For the warm weather the ma- terials most in favor will be, first, for morn wear, the pigve, a thick white dimit gentlemen's waistevats e heen made of; for fuller dress we e the English barege, a new style of barege. exceedingly pretty, having the advantage over the French barege of being stiffer aud much more durable. The barege is laude in several styles, either with a double skirtor two deep flounces. The chine black and white are the favorite colors: with these the skirt may be double ; on the first there is a broad plaiting, « /a erer//e, and a black gui- pure at the edge of the second. or else a bias band several inches deep of either a plaid, or of a dark green, or blue, or violet siik, borders ot both skirt. F igh-body b nd is sewed on to it, terminating in a point. It is trimmed with buttons to match -he silk decorations, and with around berthe, ornamented like the skirts The slov half long. formed of two pufis and a ruiiie. trimmed as are the other parts of the robe. On the left side of the waist there is a very large bow of ribbon, one end of which reaches to the bottom of the second skirt The bonnets from the work rooms of Madame Alphonsine. 12 Rue du Helder. and our other i artistes are decidedly larger than ey were in the winter; very pointed in front, some of them even bending over the forchead.

One of the charming creations of Madame Alphonsine, is a bonnet ith a liunp crown of spotted ith a wreath of lilies of the valley, laid on the front and hanging down be- hind in long bunches. With straw, the deco- ms are bunches of fruit, wheat ears, or ; of ribbon, in preference to straw. The bonnet. of Belgian straw, is bordered cherry mbbon and ornamented with bunches of black grapes. For young persons, the most becoming bonnet is tormed of white sik; the front is drawn and trimmed with a narrow plaited ribbon. either mallow, bluc, pink, or light green. The crown 1s silk, and laid in plaits, crossed by a ribbon ; the curtain is of tulle, and double strings of ribbon cross overthefront. The flowers generally employed tur the decorations of bonuets, ure those in season; lilae. primrose, and vivlets, and hearts- ease, or the almond, peach, apple, chesnut blossom: also tufts of small red berries, small branches of cherry tree. with the red and black fruit wixed, &e utles are at present worn high in the throat; there is generally a seam at the should- ers. and frequently one behind, to make them fall more closely to the figure. The point reaches to the waist. A wide flounce, which is joined at the back in a point. is either set on in plaits, or put in with very little gatherings. so as to allow for the fulines: of the dress Fringes, ruches, or plaitings, « /a ver/lr, are placed round the point or edge of the flounce. 8 ee posed member of ¢ the following subscription of ladi ionable world Lu A prudent and well the suciety of Friends once g: friendly advice « * John.” suid he, “I hear you are going to yet married?’ ** Yes,” repiied John, “Lam.” * Well,’ replied the man of drab. ‘1 have a little piece of advice to give thee, and that is, never marry awoman worth more than thou art.
