The 0I1I latnily portraits of l lie Ne mours looked to me like gargoyles, as I waited, in a lover’s agitation, for llie doctor’s coming. With the exception of little Argemone, whom I loved with all my heart, I hated the whole proud race: for it was their pride which made them so in accessible, and would probably deny me the young girl l hat set my heatt anti hopes upon. The rooms were filled with the Ne mours’ wealth—velvet carpets, rose wood chairs, curtains of silk embroid ery, and the brie a brae of taste and travel. I looked down their shimmering vis- la with a sick heart. The doctor’s portentous “Hem sounded in the hall. He must have known my errand.— He s.aluted me with the baieit civilly. “No, Mr. Wrexham ; you are not m a position to receive the ban I of a child of mine. Moreover, Argemone is promised to Mr. Rochefort.” “She will never marry him !” I ex claimed. “I beg your pardo said the doc tor coldly. Well, it was at an end, then—my suspense and my hope. As I laid my hand on the hall door, a servant came to me with a note. I knew my dar ling’s delicate cbirography, and hur ried home to read it. “Dear—I know papa will refuse you, hut don’t be quite discouraged.— I will not marry Mr. Rochefort, anti 1 do, and always shall love you. ‘ Gem.” That was the only word or message that 1 received from her for three months. I had no opportunities of meeting her. There was no certainly dial l should ever see her again. Mv only com foil was to paint into me pic tures of all my woman her rose-leaf cheek, her blue, baby eyes. At ihe end of that time, her sister Persia came to sit for her port ran — 1 Her beauty was not like liltle Gem’s (She had dark eyes, great ebon braids, i was tall and stalely. She was very j beautiful, and it was kind, I thought, to give me her patronage, when the most popular artists in the city would have been proud of it. 1 worked care fullv on her portrait, and she was pleased with it. But, somehow, Argemone’s name was the one thing 1 never could men tion to her, dreading what I might hear. But when the sittings were at an end, ami I knew that it was mv last oppor tunity to hear from my love, I said : “Is your sister quite well this spring Miss Nemours “Quite well, thank you”—gracious ly. She is to be married in May.” Her proud face seemed floating a- way from me in a strange mist. When 1 recovered myself, I was alone. Why should 1 he so shocked ? As 1 he wot Id goes, was it strange that she had given me up ? It was a long, weary struggle, ban* ishing her from my heart. In spite of all I could do, I soiled into a deep des pondency. My doting old mother was grieved, anil l was miserable. Iti August I took a vacation, and wet:l to the mountains. The splen did atmosphere put some pluck into me, 1 think. 1 was sketching upon the rot ks, one day, when 1 saw a car riage coming swiftly down the declivi ty. The horses were evidently fright ened. • “Whoa, Pomp ! Gently, Tartar !” cried the driver, sawing at their bits. In another moment the man was thrown out, and the excited horses were out of sight. I hurrud to his help. He was senseless. We raised him tin and bore him to the hotel. There’I discov ered that the wounded man w r as Roch- efoit. When his wounds were dress ed, 1 said : “Would you not like to send a tele gram to your friends—your wife ?” “L have no wife.” • “Miss Nemours ?” “M iss Nemours declined the h* nor of becoming Mrs. Rochefort.” 1 returned hastily to the city. 1 went boldly 4o the Nemours mansion. I asked for Mi«$ Nemours. Persia came quickly. She was beautiful ;— she was cordial I laid open mv heart to her. She slutok her proud head. “I am afraid that you are doomed again to disappointment. My sister lias left us.” “I.eft you “Secretly ; and her destiny is un known.

Persia Nemour’s silvery tours were meaningless to my t ar, as I 10-e ami took mv departure. Two weary years dragged bv. 1 prospered in my profession, but wealth and lame had lost for tne their sweet est value. Though but six and tvven ly, 1 Began to l*«>k forward longingly to the end ol life. One day a negro servant brought me a note. “Come to me; l have something to say to you before-I die. Pkrsia Nkmours. Dreading some iil tidings, i obeyed ihe summons. A graze maid led me quietly to Per sia’s chamber. Kven the rose-light of '.hose silken euriains could not warm that marble and < inaeialed face.— Great billows of her black hair fell to •he floor There was something crush ed in her attenuated hand, upon the embroidered coverlet'. “ Sit down, York Wrexham—near er ; my voice is so weak,” she said, faintly. She sent the maid from the room, then turned her dark eyes full upon me. “ I am dying. The doctors say 1 cannot possibly recover. And since 1 am to die without your love, I will re veal to you that Argemone Nemours lovt s you still.” “Argemone !” I cried. “I have deceived you both,” she went *iti. “From the first my sister never gave Mr. Rochefort any encour agement. When the lime that was set tor her wedding approached, she ran away ‘rom him. She left tne with a letter lor you, l n* ver delivered it.” A fit ofcoughing and pitiful mourn ing interrupted her. “ll is gone now—the blind pasions I had fur you,’’she continued, after a time. “You never saw, never under stood that I loved you. When you looked a* tne, you thought only of Ar- gemone. But I have loved you with an intensity which her childish nature m ver knew. Though you were un known, i would have matried you ;— though you were poor, I would have enrich* d you. And I never gave up hope .until the physicians told me 1 must die. I know, now, that you will marry Argemone.” ‘Where is she ?” “She is at a rural place called Wa terford, fifty' miles from here, There she has lived alone. There site ex peeled you to follow her. But you never knew.” ‘No ; I never knew,” said, with a swelling heart. “for thiee years this strange pas sion for you has led me,” she said, meekly. “1 never thought, myselfa had woman, and yet, I think there was nothing 1 would not have done to gain your love I have separated Arge mone from you. I have kept her in exile from her home by writing to her that her father is unreconcilabie. I have brought that old man to the grave wi th anxiety and unconfessed misery. My father is dead, and I am dying.— I have been called a good daughter, and a loving sister. What does it all mean ?”—in a wandering voice. Then she recovered herself. “York Wrexham, good-h\r. You ate going to Argemone. Can you for give me ?” “I can hold no anger against the dy ing.” “Here is her note. It will tell you all you wish to know. Leave me now; I am very much exhausted.” I hade her a kind farewell, and left tier. I never saw her alive again.— They say she fr II into a deep sleep, at my departure, from which she nev er awoke in this world. Tf te little note rent! as follows : “York—I am pushed to extremities. I did not think my father would force me to leave him, but I see it must be so. I am going to the little town of Walerfotd, where T am quite unknown to stay, earning my own living, until you come for me. I am realty to be your wife. It may as well be now as any time, fir I will never give you up. Dear, I know you have had ma ny desponding hours, hut I have all ways loved you faithfully, and never slept at .night without thanking the dear Father for your pure aflection — Come to me, dear Y’ork, and we will share our troubles together. ‘Gem.” What more could I ask for ? What greater happiness could earth hold for me ? I reach* <1 Waterford that night.— As [ walked the rural streets, a young girl, plainly dressed, passed before me. Thank God ! that lovely, famil iar luce! But those sad, sad eyes! “Gem, my darling ! 1 have found von.” Site turned, and, in the dusk, hid their sadness on my breast. A Coffined Young Woman comes to Life. '1 he Council Bluffs Nonpariel of the 9lh tell the following : “A young lady, about twenty years ol age, Margnrri Anderson by mme, came to this city about a year «g° > she came with a company of relatives and friends from Denmark, and lived here till about the 1st ol Jufv last The male member of the family found em ployment on the line of the Union Pacific Railroad and found it conven ient to remove their domicil nearer the place ol their work ; consequently, a part ol the family moved out to Big Opting- Station, «*»» l l, e Pocifi* Road, and among those, was Margar* t.—- Here every thing went *>n pleasantly till about the In of S*-pl< ml ter when Margaret wa* taken sick, and- after a seqticre illness of about two weeks, she bade ler friends good by , and her spir it took its High'. The same day that she died the friends at Big Spring, wrote to the relatives in this city, giv ing particulars of her sickness and death. On the second day after she had apparently luenihed Iter last, a rude coffin was provided anti the friends concluded that tire remains should he temjjorarily interred upon jSiiuuiu uc iciiipurainj imrrrru upon J the prairie, until such time as would be more conv< n ent to take them to permanent resting place. Just as the coffin had been lowered to its ' place, and a few shovelsful of earth had been thrown into the grave; anapproch- ing tiaia called the burial party at the station. Alter|»n absence of about an hour the men returned to the grave and as they were about lo resume work with their shov* D, they heard a noise in the .partially buried coffin, giving evidence of kicking and pound ing, and other conduct very unbecom ing a well bred corpse ; and, as may be supposed, after recovering from their fright, the men lost no time in uncovering and opening the coffin, to see what bail disturbed the dead wo man’s rest. The remainder of the story may be|belier imagined than describ ed. Suffice it to say, that Margaret’s friends and relatives in this city, who mourned het as dead, have just receiv ed a letter written by her own hand, very emphatically denying that she h id dispensed w ith her mortal coil,and saying that she would he here in the course of a few days.” A Remintcenie.—Among the first stt tiers in the eastern |K>riion of New Hampshire was an Irishman, who first made his home in what is now the town of D r ain. He was a very fru gal and industrious man, and possessed of that s erlittg element incident to suc cess, called common sense. He rulli vated some acres ot land, and during 1 lie winter he used to busy himself in splitting and shaving shingles. His market was Portsmouth, wither lie car tied his shingles in a Hat-boat. After a time he bought a large tract of land in what is now So. Berwick, Me.— This hecleaied to a considerable extent, and cultivated. At the same time he managed this smaller farm in Durham, and still continued his trade in shin «les. Duting these years he was not married, and he was obliged to shift for himself mostly in all matters of a culinary nature, unless he “changed works” with farmers and boarded with them. At this time, which was in the ear* ly history of our country, ship-inasters were accustomed to take men and wo men from Ireland, and perhaps from England “on lick;” or, in other word*, they gave them credit lor passage, and when they anived in America, they, the emigrants, allowed themselves to be “set up” at auction lor their passag» ; the person who bid them off [laying the passage money and allowing the men and women to work ihemselvs elear of debt upon the farm or else where. A ship load of these poor men and womwn came into Portsmouth. They, like others, soid their labot at auction, or allowed it to be sold by the Cap tain. The Captain well knew our he ro, having traded with him before.— Upon the day of the auction, he had sold out all his passengers except one woman. For her there bail been no bidders. The IiiJiman’s boat was alongside the Captain’s ship, and the latter bantered the farn er inhuy the wo man he had on hoard. The Irishman came on board anil took a glance at this piece of personal properly, dressed in bonnet and gown, and told the Cap tain that he would “swop” his load ol shingles for the woman. “Done,” said the Captain, and the transfer was short- 13’ made. The sequel is, the Irishman rowed his lassie home, and domiciled her in his log house, and after a brief court ship, married her, alter the manner of Christain custom. Ten or twelve children were the fruit ol the mar riage. One of the sons became a Gen era! in the revolutionary arrm’, whose patriotism aud exploits are a part .of their history. Gen Sullivan was of Irish descent.. His father wa« born in Limerick in 16 92, eame to Berwick, Me., as early as the year 1723, and died in 1796, aged one hundred and four years. His mother came over several years after, from Cork. She was born in 1714, and died is 1801, aged eighty-seven.— Her mind was of a rough though noble cast. The father’* education was good, and together enjoyed honorable poverty in early life.

There are a number of things concern ing which I atn possessed of profound ignorance. Among these may be num bered the fiue arts. With regard to tne coarse arts, such as house [minting, I have recently learned a few lessons from experience. 1 consider exjie- rience a thorough teacher; but his charge for tuition are perhaps rather high. Maria Ann said we must have the house repaired,and aswhal Maria Ann says must lie, generally is, I at once went and made a bargain with a house painter. He said he would send his painters around.

The painter was wedded to his art, and paid uo attention to the prattle ot Maria Ann. With the windows and blinds both out, the interior of the house was somewhat exposed, and the ta>k of getting dressed was attended with some embairassinent, especially as the painters seemed to be at work at all the windows.

Tired with these difficult labors he reached hia mom, to prepare for bed. He had scarcely, however, begun to undres* himself when he heard a rust ling nn.ong the bedclothes, and on searchmg.found to his astonishment,an infant not more than four weeks old.
