JEALOUSY :
“ Thank heaven for my safe return !”
was the ejaculation that escaped my
lips, as I-stepped from the deck of the
Crescent City, and once pn° l '0 found my
self in the commercial emporium of our
westeyi world.
• Three year* ago, I. left this very
wharf a poor adventurer in pursuit of
wealth amid the gold mines of California,
and though thousands have fallen victims
to pestilence or have been sacrificed to
the malice and cupidity of lilan, yet I
have returned in health, and possessed
of a sufficiency of the “ glittering dust”
lo enable me to pass the rest of my days
in affluence.”. • .
Twehty-four hours subsequent- to the
above reflections,. I found myself at a
country inn. near the interior of the
State, awaiting the arrival of the static
coach which was to hear me to the next
town. “While at Sacramento I. had for
warded a few' hundred; dollars in care
of a firm in,New York, to my widowed
mother, but on my arrival I learned that
it had not been ordered by her.: This
gave me some uneasiness, and ivas a
eausc of hastening, my departure from
the city, as J'had a vague nppfeTichsion
that some* calamity - had befallen her
during my absence. < Still 1 confess this
was not the only cause of my anxious
haste to reach my native town. It was
there resided the loved one of my heart
—the bright divinity of my soul, whose
image had been with me through all the
varied and eventful scenes I had En
countered since my departure from R.
In the midst of reflections like the
above, the diligence arrived, and 1 was
soon on my way to my native town. One
passenger was my only companion—a
tall, genteel; well-dressed personage, ap
parently about my own age, with whom
I was .soon engaged in conversation;
Being communicative, he at length in
formed me that the place of his destina
tion was the same as my own.
“Are you acquainted in R ?” I in
quired of. him-
•“ With only one or two families, sir,”
was the reply.
“ Do you know widow. II ?” I inquir
ed with some anxiety.

“ I hav^'n her while eu a visit to jhejocket.
the Squire’s.” . J
This answer in a measure relieved me
from the anxiety I had felt concerning
my mother’s safety. After a short time,
however, it began to., awaken in my
mind a somewhat perplexing inquiry.
Why, said I, should this young, genteel
appearing man he a visitor at Squire
Ellmorels. ,1 considered . the subject,
raised my head, and assuming a
jocular tone’ asked my companion if he
thought Miss Ellmore really handsome ?
“ I will leave you to judge for yoqr-
self,” said he, •• ns I happen to have a
fac simile of herself with me.” Saying
this he drew forth a neat gold locket from
bis vest and lianded.it toward me.
Heavens.! bo#? the blood rushed to
my, face. It was my lastparting gift to
Jiilia,T*took-it iu my hand—I knew it
well/ It was a double case and I re
membered that-my own miniature.had
been*set in the reverse. After .gazing.
", moment at Julia’s well known face, I
turned the locket', opened the Opposite
side, and found it empty.
How I managed to keepmy, temper I
know not, hut I returned the jocket to
my companion and ^became compara
tively calm just as we stopped in front of
Squire Ellmore’s residence. Julia was
seated on the verandah in front of the
dwelling, and as my companion alighted
.J heard the exclamation ‘‘ he’s come!”
fall ffom her lips.
What a- change had the’ last hour
wrought in my feelings ! Had not the
incidents above mentioned transpired,
I should have hastened to embrace her
whom I had “hitherto supposed a model
of constancy. “As ft was, I thanked my
stars that 1 had learned her perfidy in
time to save myself the mortification that
might otherwise have ensued.
My re flections were now interrupted
by a request on the part of my com
panion that I would alight from the
coach, while, he^ should takc ( a rolljof
canvas from beneath tiiy seat. I re
plied, taking especial care', how iver
not to be observed by the perfidious
Julia. But_as.il 1 -kick -would have tt;
Squire E'lmore’s gardener saw. and re
cognized me, and at the same time ex
claimed—
Here, Julia! good news! George
H has come.”
Confound the fellow’s impudence 1 I
-could have strangled him. I turned to
regain my seat in the vehicle, but in an
instant Julia had flown to my •= side,
thrown her arms around my neck aqd
almost smothered me with kisses! I
was thunderstruck. .
“ Why, Julia—What means—indeed,
Miss,” said I hesitating and stammering,
“ you forget you had $ friend and vi-itor
present.” .
Julia blushed and turned to my com
panion
“ You will pardon such /a manifesta
tion in your presence, Mr- Martin, when
I inform you that,this is George H——,
the original of the portrait I had employ
ed you to paint.”
I comprehended in an instant. Mr.
Martin was only an artjst, whor had been
intrusted with my miniature to. transfer
a copy on canvas, and.that he might
better accomplish his design, it had bben
•arily taken from the locket. I
soon, accompanied the. party ;ii)to.the.
house, and as the canvas was unrolled
and ! beheld my- own sqlf faithfully"re
presented thereon, ! confess that all my
jealousy, like Bob Acre’s courage, oozed
oiit at the end of iny : fingers.
Instead Qf .feeling anyi.il will tawfards
my fellow-traveler, 1 complimented him
highly on his professional skill, -and, at
and llie more I considered it, the qu,,e hb request; gave him a^ “good recbm-
,r,; , - mendation” to the^publifein general; and
perplexing : becamc, the answer.
. “You arc acquainted, then, at.Squirt
Ellmdre’s!” suid I with .“affected indif
ire
indif
ference. |
“ Yes.sir,” was the reply, “that is the
place of my present destination.”
This answer certainly did not. tend to
allay my growing: uneasiness. Yet as
toentertaining any feeling of jealousy—
pshaw! the idea was absurd 1 Still I
considered,there, could be .no harm in
continuing my. inquiries. 7

Expounding Scripture.
A learned pedagogue at N——used
every morning thread passages in the
Bible, and expound the same as he pro

tions as to how much they remembered
of his comments, he might ascertain
who Were the bright boys of the school.
On one occasion he read from the book
of Job, thus: - t -F/ -
“There was a man in the land of Uz.
and his name was Job, who feared Gjod
and eschewed evil. Eschewed evil";
that is, he escheated evil as 1 do tobacco
—he would have nothing to do with it.”
lyitli this very char and forcjhle. t '
elucidation of the word “escKew.’^Vc*
proceeded, until a number of verseq
were read and commented on in a simi
lar clear and intelligible manner. Aftei-
,a long interval, when the young mind
had tmie to digest its food, the peda
gogue called upon one of the younger
boys, and the following diolague ensu
ed :
“ Who was the man who lived
Uz?” , -
“ Job.” . . ‘ •
“ Was he a good man?”
‘“Yes.” ' ■- / r - '
“ Wh’at did he do?”
.. “ He: chewed tobacco when. nobody else
would have nothing to.d<> with it !” was

“I should like to know,” said the
“what you arc good for, and how you
expect to get through the world without-
