Though labor and ex posure had somewhat stained the whiteness of her hands and arms, their beautiful symmetry could neither be altered nor concealed. She appeared thoughtful and leaned against the side of the well in silent abstraction. Unwill ing to disturb her, they were turning into an other path, when their steps were arrested by a strain of rich and untutored melody, which arose in a still airlike enchantment; the words were simple, but tho sweetness which tlu-illed through every note surpassed any thing they had ever before heard. “ Mon JDicu !” exclaimed Madame Villaret “ it is that peasant girl; she must be ours. Such a voice with a little cultivation, would bewitch all Paris, and make our own and the girl’s fortune.” They returned und entered into conversa tion with the young villager, the result of which it is not difficult to guess. Pauline Du rant was poor, but innocent and happy. She only felt sad when she looked on the bowed ana wasted form of her old father, and reflect ed upon her own helplessness, lt was on the evident love which she bore this aged parent that madame Villaret worked, she represented to her in how short a time, by tlie exercise of her talents in cultivating that gift of song which Clod had so graciously bestowed ou her she would be enabled to raise him from a state of indigence to one of comparative aflluence and comfort; and Pauline was more than half persuaded. During their Interview at old Durant’s Cot tage, there was one among the group avIio stood apart with his arms crossed and his lips compressed. He marked all that passed with a stern and vigilant glance, listened to the spe cious arguments of the lady with s contemptu ous sneer, and watched the struggle betwee visions of grandeur, and a deep rooted love of her own simple home and habits which rent the breast of Pauline, in silence. He longed to speak, but did not, he was determined she should speak for herself. She did so, and ma dame triumphed in the success of her oratory. But the young girl turned away from her con gratulations and promises, aud for the first time perceived who had made one of the audience. “You here, Andre,” said she. “Oh! I am so glad !” and then she paused, for there was nothing in the expression of his countenance to make her glad. “ You think I have done wrong,” she eagerly continued. “ I know you do, and are anury with me. But it is not too late, only say the word and I will not go.” “ And could you stay here and share my hon est poverty after all the golden promises that have been made you 1” asked the young man doubtingly. .She leant her head upon his shoulder, and looked up silently into his eyes, there was no need of words, lie felt the deep devotion of that look. “And yet, Pauline, you would like to go ? “ I confess 1 should. Only think Andre, in a few years I should be quite rich enough for om happiness. 1 will then return and live with you forever!” “ Let us consent toiler departure,” said M.

With a full heart the young girl knelt down to receive her father’s blessing, a blessing not 1 of the lips, but of the heart.

That night she had been even more than usually effective, and the peo ple held their breath lest one note of that sweet melody should be lost. Suddenly the songstress paused and the air was abruptly terminated by a wild shriek ; there was music even in that shriek ; it was the voice of hu man agony. Many thought it but the startling effect of premeditated art, hut those who were nwar enough to mark her livid brow, and shud dering frame felt it to he the language of irre pressible emotion. She" was borne from the stage to her own dressing room, where she soon recovered, at least the outward ajipear- arree, of composure. “ Vanvitelli,” she said in a whisper to the handsome young Neapolitan, who washending anxiously over her couch, “ return instantly to the theatre and seek out the young man who wore a green jerkin and scarcely took his eyes off me the whole evening.” “1 saw that yon noticed him.” “You must bring him to me, I would speak to him in private.” The Count hesitated, and Pauline perceiv ing the frown which gathered over liis brow, laid her white jewelled hand upon his, and added with a persuasive smile— “ It is an old friend, a countryman of mine; I would but ask if my poor father is yet alive.” Subdued by the tears which dimmed her beautiful eye, the Count bowed and withdrew, to fulfil her request. Tlie following morning as Pauline sat sad and alone in her desolate, yet splendid apart ments, the door was suddenly flung open, and the accents of a never to be forgotten voice: thrilled her to her very soul. “I have brought tho stranger you wished to see,” said Vanvitelli; and drawing nearer he added in a whisper, “let your conference be a short one, I shall return in an hour.” She did not look up—she dare not! The again his own, liis pure, his first, and only love. Suddenly Pauline lifted up lieu palo wan face from his bosom, and shook baclfc the damp and dishevelled masses of hair which had hall’ concealed it. Her mind was e\idemly wan dering to the past, her eyes shone with in tense lustre, and she sang. It was an air from the opera in which she should have made her reappearance at Naples. The notes were beautifully, touchingly sweet, and the peasant girls clung to each other, aud listened as U10’ under the influence of a spell. The strain terminated abruptly, and a thrilling cry from Andre proclaimed that the soul of the vocalist had passed away in its sweet but unholy me lody. The following is a very good hit at the ex travagances of the system alluded to, but of the system itself, divested of its ultraism, we have rather a favorable opinion than otherwise. At any rate, in these no business and no money times when, “to cat or not to eat” a “good dinner,” is hardly a matter of choice with ma ny of us, one might as well make a merit of necessity and speak commendingly, or at least not disparagingly, of a system of ditetics which accommodates itself to the pocket ! It is hard ly necessary to add, that it is the hranhread system, which the burlesque has in view. cannot ho owing to their change of diet, but to tlie roast turkios they ate last winter. There is u class of young ladies at Mrs. Nippo’s boarding house, who are living (those, I mean who still survive) in exact accordance to the principles of Dr. Sawdust, and find their com plexions lughly improved by it. They have excellent soup, made of pebble atones boiled iu cleaT spring water; sometimes they strain" it through a culander of turnip-tops ; but this the Doctor culls high living. The sawdust dougli-uuts never gave them the heart-burn; and if you shake a bunch of radishes at them once a week it is all they want. You never saw a more beautiful and interesting sight than these young ladies; they resemble fair and delicate cabbage plants growing under the shady side of a barn. Their strength is so much iruprovod by their diet, that they have no* occasion for exercise, and never feol tho least desire to walk ubout. Indeed, this would be somewhat hazardous, for oue of them, being abroad on a windy day last week, was acci dently blown against the side of a newly painted house, where she stuck till somebody came to her relief. Siuco this catastrophe; they have all kept within doors, which, in fact, is much tlie l est way for true Sawdustrians. Since writing the above, I have received ac counts from the neighboring town of Noodle- ton, where Dr. Sawdust has also been lectur ing. The good work is going cm tlieixi. Tke people liavo given up eat lug entirely. Most of them do nothing but gape, though even this is censured os a superfluous luxury, as well Be the practice of smoking fog through rye straws.

Every wife has it in her power to make her husband either better or worse. This resnh is accomplished, not merely by giving advice and instruction alone. Both these have their influence; and as means of improvement, slunild not be neglected. But it is by tire general tone and spirit of her conversation, us manifesting the temper and disposition of die lieai’L that she makes the most abiding im-' pressions. These are modifying his charao-' ter daily and hourly; sometimes even when absent. It has been said of the wife of Jonathon Edwards, that by enabling him to put forth his powers unembarrassed, she conferred a greater benefit upon mankind, Ilian el! the fe male pnblic characters that ever lived or wftf live. A similar remark might be applied *0 the mother of almost every great and good man’. Woman’s true greatness consists, so it seems to me, in rendering ethers nseful, rather than in being.directly useful herself. Or, in' other words, it is less her office to be seen and knomi in society, than .to make others seen and known, and their influence felt. I might give numerous examples and Illus trations of the principle I am endeavoring to sustain, both of this country and elsewhere., I might speak of the mother and the wife of Washington, of the mother of Dwight, Frank- lin, Wflbcrforce, Whitfield, Timothy, sffid hundreds of others; for it was by the exercise of the duties not only of the mother, but the wife, that these illustrious characters were brought forth to the world. But I will confln/a myself to a single instance; end that one In which the influence upon the husband was direct. The case to which I refer, is that of SVr James McIntosh, whose fame as a jurist, a statesman, nnd writer, is well known, not only in Europe nnd America, but in India; and whose efforts in the causo of science and hfr manky, have rarely been equalled. Few men have done more through the progress of a long- life, th?n he; nnd few have at any late Deen more distinguished for extensive learning, large views, and liberal principles, in law, politics, and philosophy; but especially in Lis' favorite department of the law’. It was he of whom Sir Walter Scott said, on a certain oc casion, that he made “ the most brJlMtti* speech ever made, ot bar or in forum.” Yet this great mail, if we may believe bis own sto ry, owed no small share of his greatness to the assistance and influence of his wife.
