Ylttsieians That Trumb C'lolli. “ How did yotwome to marry Mr. Marshall, aunt Nannie? 1 ’ Mrs. Nannie Marshall wasn't my aunt, but I had called her so for years, for she was the kindest and truest friend I had ever had. She sat silent, knitting busi¬ ly and smiling a little, before she ans¬ wered me. “It all came of shaking a orimb cloth,” said aunt Nannie. “ What l did you trip him up in its folds, and bring him down on his knees to you ?’’ “No; I’ll tell you. When I was four years obi my mother died 1 do not know win trrrrvhildren of that ten¬ der age remember their m< the? as I re¬ membered mine or not; but when I was so little that 1 sut in a high chair at the table, I would watch the chairs filling up around it with the persistent hope th t my mother would come to sit by me; and I did not relinquish this hope .after I was old enough to com¬ prehend death, but dung to it, praying Christ to work a miracle, as in the old Bible times, and let my dear mother appear to my longing sight. “ Never was there a more'affectionate child, andyny youth was u dreary time. My grand mother, who had charge of me, meant to do her duty by me, and, in the usual acceptance of the term, she did it. I was fed and clothed, and she taught me as well as Iter limited means would allow. But. she never manifest¬ ed any affection for.mo. She was one of that kind of people who think kisses and caresses foolishness, and though I can look back now and remember proofs of a secret tenderness, she never kissed nor caressed me when I was a child. “1 grew up starved for love. After l was fourteen years old I grew to look for it whence all girls look for it—from a lover. I read romances— l built air eindU’S—yet so Will had I been trailed in practical waj 8 and habits, that no one dreamed of the turn my mind was taking. My fondest die,mi was of the nun* when a martial figure, with bold, bright Wes. ami gay apparel, should, Seated on a milk-white chargers appear before me as I spun iu the porch, or gathered berries in the field, and folding me to his heart with tender and assuring words, leap upon his steed, ami with me in his arms, ily to some unknown Coun¬ try where he would make me queen of hie castle. I never realized, ugly, igno rail! child that 1 was, that this was po culi.-.rly absurd us applied to me, until one day something occurred which de s roy**d my beautiful illusion,and ma le me wretched. “ There were always several weeks iu the Fall, when, if the crops were good, I was almost incessantly employ¬ ed m gathering berries, which grand¬ mother preserved for winter use. My only companion iu this work Was my cousin Stephen, a boy two or three years younger than my sell. “One day whei thus employed, we caught a glimpse ol a man iu regimen¬ tal.', ri ling swiftly through tue woods. *• WiiO ‘*uu that be ? said ekephen. “ Oh !' s«ii., I, in delight, pci Imps* it is my lover kuight coming irom tue wars to find me. Lei us watch until comes a round the bend ot the rouu. I it is lie, uni take iff his plumed hai and wave if tot me.

Fmum that tnooMMit i Knew that wa> ugly, uncuuth mnl unattractive, and my hero-lover never came ; I ceased to expect him. “ I grew older, I was pale, plain and awkwardly shy. I felt my personal de¬ tects to a paiufui degree, and I shunned what society was attainable to me. ■ “ When I was eighteen years old I received an invitation from an aunt who lived in Boston to visit her. I had never seen her, and she knew me only by report. She wished to come and spend the winter with her. “ My grandmother wo* willing that i should go, but we wen? very poor, and it required a great deal of economy and management to furnish me with a wardrobe (it to visit the city with;* At last my outfit was completed, and I went to Boston. “ The family of my aunt Caroline consisted of herself, her daughter Julia, and the orphan children of a deceased son. Julia was just iny age, and very pretty It is a very hard thing to say, but 1 honestly thin/r that my aunt—■ to whom my person:.! appearance had been described, wanted me to associate with Julia as a foil to her beauty, and to reside in the family that I might us s st in taking care of the children. At any rate, when I came, the only servant was dismissed. — “ The family lived elegant!, hut I soon found that it was done by the strictest economy. My aunt worked hard ami managed well, and no one out¬ side of the house dreamed that their in¬ come was as painfully small as it was. “ Julia had a lover. Mr. Marsh ril was very handsome arid mighty fine, and I do not wonder that ho appeared very much like a god to me then. He was but recently acquainted with Julia when tie went there, but he appeared very much in love with her. I used to help her dress upon the evenings oh which he came, and after she had gone down, looking like an angel, I use I to shed a few quiet tears of sorrow ami loneliness, as I stsuyl ami listened to their happy $hf.? ami gay laughter ring¬ ing from the room below. I was very sure that 1 never could be pretty, and I thought i obody would ever love me. “ One day Mr. Marshall came to diue. Extra attention vva* given to the house ami dinner. My aunt had been very wealthy for u short time when first married and from her husband’s failure she had saved a few things which gave the house an air of meoiis ami st\ le— some articles ol fine table silver ami some huudsome oil pf»mtmg*, I remem bet. “ With rny assistance she served the dinner herself, and intihaged to be richly dressed to appear at the table. She h^ked cool and stately; but I, who had lingered until the last moment m the kitchen, making gravies ai d serving W gi tabies, was so tired that 1 could li.iidiv speak. I never did tulk much, though; so it was tint noticed, appar¬ ently. Mr Marshal) conversed ot books, pictures, and music, with all ot which Julia was acquainted, and it was agree¬ able to listen to them. I was soriy when the meal was finished. *• Mr. Maishall turned to look at the pictures on the wall when he arose, anti alter a few moments, my aunt com¬ menced clearing the table. The dishes •were put. through a slide m the cup- 1 board iuro kitchen. I helped her tre to do l)»is Julia stood looking out ol the window. When the table was cleared of its dishes my aunt went out. * f sat down a ad let k up my .-evviug, tiiii.ki.ig my : would be back moment to ; ami! in u ! linisli clearing tlie tab!**, and that 1 soouiil iM* allow ed, during the alter.*oon, (lie place ot a gu< s .

A a crumb cloth had not been taken Julia glanced at it the same moment, and then turned serenely back to embroidery* I put down the dice-box timidly. ‘ Excuse me,’ said J, aunt is not ing back and the table must be put in its place. ‘ I took oft thereover and carried it into the kitchen, then came bac&, put down the old-fashioned table, and was going to put it up at the bide of the room alone, when Mr. Marshall sprang and did it (or me. “Then I took up the crumb cloth, carried it out and shook it, and put it in its place in the half closet, and all the time he stood and watched me, as if in surprise. When I was ready to sit down he played very badly. lie seem¬ ed to be absent-minded. “ He came to the house two or three times after that, but never to spend an evening alone with Julia. Pretty soOu he did not come at all, and Julia used to cry and pout and be so cross that she made the whole family uncomfortable. “ One day he drove up to the ddor in a splendid sleigh, forjt was winter time, ami the sleighing was very good. Julia was sitjting at the dining-room fire. “There, said she, jumping up, he’s come to take me to drive. Now, I won’t go u step unless be asks my pardon tor staying away so long. “ ller mother showed him into the parlor, and he os&ed )br me. I went in wonder. He askee me to go to ride as coolly us if I had been in the habit, of driving witlf him all the days of my urn)* there was something in Jiis manner that would not let me refuse* I went, and he asAred Tue to marry him. I waited three years tor him, for he was not settled in business then—then we were married, and 1 have been happy every day of my lifc siuce. “ One day he told me why he had not married Julia. “ I Was pleased with her, said he, but when I s»w her let von, a guest, leave your employment with a geutlc mati, to do her mother’s vvor k, while she sut doing nothing hut some embroid¬ ery, i knew she was indolent and selfish and sin? never looked pretty to me alter that moment. II it had not been for that crumb cloth, Nannie, I should probably have married her, and been wretched us 1 am now satisfied. A Ricn Fool.—A rich planter died in the West Indies, and left one little boy. His name was willikm Beckfnrd. The boy was very rich, and grew richer every year until h«* was twenty-one.— lie was then one ol the richest men iu the world; What did he do with his money ? He spent it all on himself. When he travelled, he travelled like tt king. He sent ou bt forehand, and hud the looms he was to use fitted up iu the draudest style. The splendid house which his father built in England did not suit him, and he determined to pull it down and build one that should be the wonder of all England. Four or live hundred men were kept at work ou it night and day until it was done. The night workmen used great torches, which lighted up * scene ii a most brilliant manner. ! Beekford took great delight iu going [ | “A* work. 1 He survey would ing the progress at night of the go out to u \ b’gh P»rt ot the grounds, and spend j hours in watching the strungi and bemi ! tif**! <*igbL I Y\ belt the palace was done it was ealied Fonthill Abbey.

But he was not happy. He had everything money could buy. But money cannot buy happiness, ami this Then was there wanting came at what Fonthill business Abbey. irtbtW call a“ crash,” and the princely fortune of William Beekford melted away like snow under the spring sun. He Wi*s in debt head and ears; and the gate thaf. would not. open to the rid had tdbtffqii to the sheriff. Fonthill Abbey was bold. Nobody wanted to live in it; mid now only a heap ol rubbish .is left of it splen¬ dor. . Beekford Just saved enough to keep himself from want, and’lie spent a mis¬ erable'old age at a hotel, with nobody to comfort him, nbb >dy to pity him ; making true-the saying, that a. tool and his money are soon parted. A itcautifb! Love Slury* The Count de St. Croix,.belongingto one of the noblest and wealthiest fami¬ lies of France, became engaged, after a long courtship, to a lady his equal in position beauty.* and fortune, and famous for h»T appointed Shortly after the happy day was which was to render two loving hearts one, the Count was order¬ ed immediately to the siege of Sebasto pojl; so he girded on his saber, and at the head ol uis regiment marched on to the battle-field, During the Count’s absence it happened that his beautiful aftiariced had the small -pox ; and hover¬ ing between life und death, she recover¬ ed, but found her beauty hopelessly lost, The deseuse had assumed, in tier case, the most virulent character, aud left Imr not only disfigured, but seamed and scarred to such a frightful extent that she became hideous to herself, and resolved to pass the remaiuder of her days in the strictest inclusion. A year passed away, when one day the Count, immediately on his return to France, accompanied by his valef, prsented himself at the residence of his betrothed and solicited an interview.— 'I'his was refused. lie,however, with the persistence of atover, pressed th« suit, and finally the lady mi.d: her a; pearnnoe, very closely muftled in a vuiJ. At the sound of her voice the Count rushed forward to embrace her, but, stepping aside, .tremblingly told him the story of her sorrow, and burst into tears. A heavenly smile broke over the Count’s handsome features, as rais¬ ing his hand above, he exclai t ed Jfc is God’s work ! I am blind/' It was even so When gal'aiitly leading his issed reg¬ iment, to the attak, a cannon ball p *«) closely to his eyos that, while itle.it his their expression unchanged and countenance unmarked, it robbed him forever of sight. It is unnecessary to and that their marriage wots shortly sol¬ emnized. It is said that at this day may be often seen at the Emperor's recep¬ tion. an officer learning upon the arm of a lady closely vailed, and they seem' to be attracted to the spot by their love of music. Power of Kindness.—A poor woman need to give an elephant, who often passed her stall in the market, a hand¬ ful of greens, of which he was very fond. One day he was iu a great fury, and broke away from his Aeeper. and came ranging qown the market-place. Every ouo tied, and in her haste the market women forgot her little child. But the furious elephant, instead of tramp¬ ling it to uoath’ picked it up tenderly and laid it ou one side in a place of safe¬ ty.
