Why not tell it frankly ? Are we not all your friends ?” Edwin was silent, and his eyes rested upon the floor, while a deeper than usual was upon his face. looked upon him' fixedly. Suddenly I now I have consented to unite with Kale a new thought flashed through her mind, in renewing a request for you to remain, and the color on her own cheeks grew Up to this time, you have declined giv- warmer.

Kate Darlington was jl belle and a beauty ; and had, as might be supposed, not a few admirers. Some were at tracted by her person ; jiome by her | winning manners, and ret a few by |the wealth of her family.) But though sweet Kate was a belle apd a beauty, she was a shrewd, clear) seeing girl, [and had far more penetration into j character than the belles and beauties ! are generally thought to possess. For j the whole tribe of American dandies, I with their disfiguring moustaches and perials, she had a most hearty con tempt. Hair never made up, with her, for the lack of brains. But as she was an heiress in expec tancy, and moved in the most fashiona ble society, and was, witbal, a gay and sprightly girl, Kate, as a natural conse quence, drew around her the gilded moths of society, not a few of whom got their wings scorched on approach ing too near. Many aspired to be lover?, and some, more ardent than the rest, boldly press ed forward and claimed her hand.— But Kate did not believe in the doc trine that love begets love in all cases. Were this so, it was’ clear she would have to love half a dozen, for at least that number came kneeling to her with hearts in their hands. Mr. Darlington was a merchant.- Among his clerks was the son of an o lriend, who, in dying some years before, had earnestly solicited him to have some care over the lad, who at his death would become friendless. In ac cordance with this last request, Mr. Darlington took the boy into bis count ing room ; and, in order that he might, with more fidelity, redeem his promise to the dying father, also received him into his family. Edwin Lee proved himself not un grateful for the kindness. In a few years he became one of Mr. Darlington’s most active, trustworthy and intelligent clerks; while his kind, modest, gentle manly deportment at home, won the fa vor and confidence of the family.— With Edwin, Kate grew up as with a brother. Their intercourse was of the most frank and confiding character. But there came at last a change.— Kate, from a graceful, sweet tempered affectionate girl, stepped forth almost it a day, it seemed to Edwin, a full grown, lovely woman, into whose eyes he could not look as steadily as before, and on whose beautiful face he could no longer gaze with the calmness ofj her voice, feeling he had until now enjoyed.

On the next evening, as Edwin was sitting alone in one of the drawing-rooms, thinking on the long night of absence that awaited him, Mr. Darlington came in, accompanied by Kate. They seated themselves near the young man, who showed some sense of embarrassment. There was no suspense, however, for Mr. Darlington said, “ Edwin, we none of us wish you to flush ! g° away.

As for him, his embarrassment in her presence was never more com plete, and he betrayed the secret that was in his heart even while he felt the most earnest to conceal it. Conscious of this, he excused himself, and retired as soon as it was possible to do so. Kate sat thoughtful for some time af ter he had left. Then rising up, she went with a film slep to her father’s “ I have found out,” she said, speak ing with great self composure, “the reason why Edwin persists in going away.“ Ah ! what is the reason, Kate? I would give much to know.” love,” replied Kate.prompt- lv. “ In love! How doyou know that ?” “ I made the discovery to-night.” “ Love should keep him at home, not drive him away,” said Mr. Darlington. “ But he loves hopelessly,” returned the maiden. “ He is poor, and the ob ject of his regard belongs to a wealthy family.” “ And her friends will have nothin; to do with him.” “ I am not sure of that. But he _ satisfactory reason for your sud den resolution to leave; but a reason is due to us—to me in particular—and I iw most earnestly conjure you to give The yonng man at this time became greatly agitated, but did not venture to make a reply.

And we shall miss him from out home circle. There will be a vacant place at our board.— Will you be happier away, Edwin?” The last sentence was uttered in a tone of sisterly affection. “Happier!” exclaimed the young man, thrown oflfhis guard. «* Happier! I shall be wretched while away.” “Then why go?” returned Kate, ten derly. At this stage of affairs, Mr. Darling ton got up and retired ; and we think we had as well retire with the reader.

Such men have been honored, are That the young grocer had reason to regret this opinion of the old grocer, will appear. The latter had a daughter who had won the heart of the former. He offered himself to her and was re jected. It was done, however, with the assurance that he was the man.of her choice, but that she acted in obedi ence to her father’s commands. Assured of the affections of the wo man of his choice, he set himself about living the only obstacle in the way of their union—the father’s objection to his pecuniary prospects. A year had elapsed, and lo, what a change! The young grocer was now going up hill with the power of a steam locomotive ; customers flocked to his store from all quarters, and even many had left the oldest ablished stand on tho opposite corner, for the younger favor ite. There was a mystery about it which puzzled the old grocer sorely, but which he could not unravel. He at length became nearly sick with losses and aggravations, and vain at tempts lo discover the secret ot his neighbor’s success. At this juncture, Angelica—for that was the daughter’s name—contrived to - bring about an apparently accidental interview between the parties. After the old man had become, through the intervention of the daughter, tolerably good humored, he inquired with great earnestness of the young man, how he had contrived to effect so much in a single year; to thus extend his busi ness and draw off the customers from ihe older stands. The young man evaded an answer— but inquired if he had any further ob jections to his union with Angelica.— “None,” he replied, “ provided you re veal the secret of your success.” This the young man promised when his hap piness was made complete. The old commended his prudence on this The affair was all settled and This we do when the labor- j er is made a scholar and secures to hitn- i self the influence and respect which | knowledge commands for the man who ! has it.

Caught in the Act Wo day. live freight were about starling on spic- Nic, when a young woman ran hastily up and said to a gentleman of the party, who had just sealed himself cozily by the side of a pretty girl— Here, sir, I want to know what right you have to be going on pic-nics, and yoOr wife and child at home ?” • Hush, Sophia,’ whispered the gen tleman, hastily getting out of the omni bus, * hush, the people will hear you.’ • 3 • Who cares if they do! Why did’nt you think of the people, or of me, or your child, instead of running off to pic nics with other women ? Whatever may be done by a blacksmith in lhis way, can be done also by a shoe maker, a saddler, a jeweller, a button- maker, wagoner on the road, a day la borer, or any other man ot common sense in any avocation of fife. The separation of literary and scien tific pursuits from manual labor is unna tural, and the popular sentiment that has sanctioned it is fraught with the sava J greatest evils to intellectual advance ment.
