MARRYING THE MINISTER. BY CORINNE. and Rebecea Crawford, two light-hearted “=r meme © ore eee —— or were w! ‘ou! ol te friends” ‘That is, in all hours of sobcol reore- ation they werefteen walking arm in arm; ab- sorbed in thé most earnest and doubtless im- portant conversation: exchanged many and mysterious glances di hours of study, as if the Fates had entangled the web of their lives in one jexing piece! They doted on the same teachers, read the same books, enjoyed together beautiful sunsets, were mel- ancholy through presentiment of future sor- row, in the moonlight; and were even known to meet at sunrise, and in unison rhapsodize over the glories of the rising luminary! Notwithstanding all this intimacy, these maidens were very dissi: r. They were unlike in appearance and temperament, and there was also a difference in their eurround- ings. Rebecca was one of five daughters, of poche Presbyterian minister, who had exer- cised his pastoral functions over the same small but united flook, during a period of thirty years. Rich: bad none—of that perishable na- ture generally denominated as such, by the world. He was not a great, nor yet a very devout, but certainly a comfortably good man. Pleasant ia his memory. to all us young peo- ple, as we knew him in bis genial home, with regard to the mortal weariness inflicted by his sermons—so prosaic and verbose—for those too, we give him tha: as among the salu- hoes aaa impesed upon our heediess yout! Li Lilia Goldin; was called an heiress, and being an only and orphan child, she was caressed, pam- pered. and almost idolized, by very indulgent parents. Her tastes were capricious, and tied from grave to gay, as her fancies or impulses directed. Animated and humorous, or sad and sentimental, the very contrasts she presented, added to those golden charms she ‘was known to possess, made her a village belle. The simple and peaceful home of the pastor was her delight, and often she was welcomed there, as a cherished guest, and the happy recipient of its humble hospitalities. The minister's house! Fresh in my mind i its every apartment, and all its peculiariti It a rambling, discoanected old mansion, having been built by one man, added to by another, and completed by a third; and so had no definite character, but realized a succession of idiosyncrasies. Yet the effect was rather captivating, than incongruous. The dwelling certainly was not common-place, and had to be studied out, piece by piece, as it had orig- inated. It «i alone—ten gracefal lecust trees shaded an ample front, and harmonized charmingly with the painted white and green of the exterior. This house was placed upon the banks of a lovely stream, and was envi- roned by a carefully cultivated garden, whioh was arranged with some pretensions to ele- gance—for several terraces and flights of stone ste) gradually led you on to the river's edge. In thelower garden yas very near the water, was a of mulberry trees. They were lanted because Mrs. Crawford desired te cul- vate the silkworm, and had done so, with considerable success. Near this grove was placed an srbor of wooden trellis-work, cov- ered with the fragrant woodbine—happy re- treat of humm birds! murmuring and sparkling, as they flitted o’er their leafy shel- ter, and offered the incense of the flowers to eaven—the little guardian spirits of wood- bine bowers! A pleasing spot was the home so Jong occupied by this good man, and his affectionate family. I have said that Lilia was a village belle— she had numerous admirers—young lawyers, doctors, students, and now and then, she at- tracted the homage of some unfortunate wan- derer, who remained too long for his own ace of heart, in this dangerous little town. ebecea too, was captivating, and eepccially #0, to one class of men, who are supposed to be be allured by intrinsic charms alone—to young ministers. Several of these gentlemen, who had, according to vangelical and established custom, been her f: 8 guests (and not per- mitted to remain at the village inn) at differ- ent times, tar: unexpectedly to themselves, over to another Sabbath—and they preached reat sweetness and fervor, quite melting the susceptible hearts of various spinsters in the ovngregation. Rebecca was the primal source of this increase and depth of unctio: uiet, demure, mischievous Re- becca! Modelled to outward seeming, into most admirable mechanism of movement and feeling, yet for all that, overflowing with most consum mate, frolicsome love of the grotesque, and the ridiculous. It was during s summer vacation that Lilia’s grand parents permitted their darling to spend a week with her friend Rebecoa. The welco: was x rr . Slender, pious, incellectual looking youth; and had an abstracted manner, as if detached from the things of this world, aud absorbed with themes of high and sacred import. The effect of this “distrait’”’ style of oi roceeding, was eprapturing for the uet- tien, romantie school girls. The wary oore ing of his arrival he produced i ression upon Lilia tha Seesm, and with every appearance of distress, that she not only considered herself a remar! ably unfortunate young lady, but that she was, in very truth, a miserable, dejected be- ing. “Alas,”’ sighed plaintive Lilia, “how ean I ever a if as aught but a friv- olous creatare, quite unfit to occupy a serious thought of any man of sense. ere am I, at the advanced age of sixteen, the ob- ject of the nonsensical attentions ef worldly men; who, according to your worthy father’s doctrine, are mere worshippers of Taeateone have Ii st herie a never we I, not able to elicit the certainly—for she seems to have attained a blessed repose of soul, which is de ge > hold. this of Eben they my} Vk, XVIII. sd ing Star.

But it so happened that just about the time Lilia was entirely hopeful and sanguine with regard to her success, her presence w: uired at home, in consequence of th illness of her grandmother, who su! an n the absence of so beloved true and devoted to her grandparents, and did not hesitate when she received the message. Her filial love com- led her at once to return home. In leav- ng, she enjoined it spe Rebecca to take in charge the welfare of Mr. Dumbarton, and above all, to take good care that he should not forget ber. And soit was, that when Mr. Dumbarton must inevitably have been con- quered by Lilia’s arts. they parted. ee) Soon after this catastrophe, my heroine left her native town to visit an aunt. Separated from Rebecca, the ardor of their friendship seemed rather to strengthen than decrease. Ti =f wrote each other incessantly—the most fearfully minute letters, crossed and recrossed; nothing,was omftted, and much was amplified and commented on that might as well have remained obscure. Real school letters! I must | ugh as I recall them. hat flights of rhetoric! what sublimity of incident! what intensification of feeling they depicted ' One morning Lilia dia not receive the ex pected communication from Rebecca, but how great and joyful was her agitation, when a let- ter was handed to her in an unknown chiro; raphy—having a etrange and cramped lool which was in itself a delightful p i Bat oh, charm of charms, it i of marriage from th: young parson. indeed, made the desired impression, and in i rmor of formality, moral- ity, and spirituality, behold him a lover!

But what writes he-again let me see.” 4nd this is the letter : Miss Lilia: Profound and indelible (a successive months of separation only prove to me mere clearly) is the impression produced upon me by your many charms of mind, heart, ang manner. Since we parted, I have been settled over a small congregation; and now find myself not only occupied, but immersed, in the diligent care of souls committed to my ebarge. Yet such is the lamentable weakness of human nature, even when devoting its high- est energies to the most sacred calling, that I y life, uncheered by your appreciative companionship, a mere desert waste. Your lovely and mild image incessantly haunts my memory—and when I reflect upon the angelic docility with which you received the maxims of wisdom I sought to teach you, even as con- neoted with the enjoyment of the beauties of ereation, I feel that it becomes a duty I owe to you, to develop and direct so gentle and Christian a nature. I am a man of few words but of deep emotions—therefore, without a reater eapiase of protestation, or the in- ulgence of any vain or foolish expressions, which might only serve to offend your good sonse—I ask you, in sober truth aah brevity, will you, Miss Lilia, beoome my wife? With sentiments of affection and respect, your sincere admirer, 5. Dumparron. Lilia lost no time in composing the follow- ing reply: rth respected sir: With extreme surprise T have read your communication proffering to in earnest terms, the highest: compliment it isin the power of aman to bestow upon any woman. I respond to your letter with the same clearness and conciseness with which it is written—J well not become your wife; and I make this positive declaration to you with the less hesitation, because I am uly Pe - suaded that your soul is so well tempered by moral maxims, and fortified with Christian resignation, that you are proof against all those vicissitudes and reverses which over- whelm ordinary and unreflecting mortals.

Even if he signed y deputy the coin could not be counted and tested in the allotted time. The banks are therefore making arrangements to turn the tide of appli- cants towards their counters, and we hope will be successful in relieving Mr. Cisco of a portion of this exhausting burden. A proposition was on foot for the banks to pay and additional six per cent. of the loan to-morrow, but as the Govern- ment does not need it, and it is inconvenient for the Assistant Treasurer to receive it until the rush of applicants is a little over, or it is diverted to raed direction, !t will be postponed for a few a) PRoPosats FOR REVENUE VESSELS.
