Tfle fuel is women require so much wait fiug upon, or fashion requires it—so many servants, just such a style of living—that for my part I have given up oh thoughts of marrying.” Ned said this with some bitterness as if lie liad good reasons for feeling it. “ My busiuess is good,” pursued the other, iutent upon his own aflairs, “ and uncle thinks my prospects pretty fair, if I live prudently. It costs a round sum at the hotel—l might support a snug littlle establishment at the same exi>eiise.” “ Yes, if snug little establishments wero in fashion, Char ley.” “ She is amiable and intelligent; she is economical, because she always has been obliged to be,” declared diaries, ab ruptly stopping, as if anew thought had struck him. “ Perhaps so—but shall you both be independent enough to begin in a small way—in short, to live within your means — for if you expect to get along in the world, you must live with in your means.” “ Well, it's a pity,’’ said Charles, somewhat dampened by the inquiries of his friend,—"think what charming quarters I might have. 1 am heartily sick of the oflf-hand bachelor life we now lead. Wliat! must I wait till I make a fortune before I marry ?” “ Or be over head and ears in debt.” suggested Ned. “ That will never do,” exclaimed Scott right earnestly, and it is to be regretted that every young man does not make a like determination, with independence and judgment enough to keep it. Here the two came to a turn in the street, where they took different directions. Charley bent his stejis towards the store, in no merry inood, Ned—l know not where. Charles Scott entered the counting room and shut the door. The business of the day was over, and the clerks were beginning to leave as the early shades of an autumn twilight were fast gathering round. He stirred up some dying em bers, then throwing himself listlessly into a chair, and placing his feet upon the iron fender, he soon became wonderfully ab sorbed in his own reflections. He was a young man of ex cellent tactics and excellent habits—remembered with joy his lather's fireside, and all the sweet sympathies of that dear “3nkpcniicnt in all t!)hujs—Neutral in Keying.” MACON, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 4, 1851. home circle, of which he was once a loved and loving mem ber. They had passed away, and he had lived upon the cold bounties of a boarding house. His heart yearned with unspeakable desire for a place to call his own, the delightful peculiarities, niy wife, my fireside, my table. It does not ap pear to what conclusion Cluirles came, or whether he eame to any at all. Evening lbuud him at his toilet, preparing fit’ a party. Long before the hour, he was ready and waiting the tardy movement of liis watch. Though no one knew better hew to fill up liitches in time with something useful aud pleasant, J there was now a costlessness of spirit which refused to bejjuJ et. He sallied forth into the street-; and after varioj ! K / ’- urlls _ at length bent his steps towards Ckirljifr— ‘music and 1 mirth meet liis ear, the bright lights streamed from the win dows. Making his greetings to the ladies of the house, and uttering a few agreeable truisms to thoso about him, ho sought among tho bevies of fair women one pretty maiden named Fanny Day. tSho bade him a welcome which seemed to say “come hither.” He stood aloof in no seeming hurry to seek a place by her side, already half occupied by another, while his eye discussed with keenest scrutiny, tho tout en semble of Fanny’s dress. Conscious of his earnest admir‘uig(?) gaze, Fanny seemed to hear the quick beating of her own heart, and hope, and fear, ami love, came and went, aud went and came, like smiles and shadows across her spirit, “ Anew and splendid silk,” thus ran Charley’s thoughts, “that looks very extravagant; and that bracelet, too, I nev er saw that before, I wonder if she’s loud of such gewgaws? What is that dangling from her liair ? A gold pin or gold tassel ? I should like to know how much it cost.” Not very lover-like comments, it must be confessed; but lie was looking far beyond the betrothed and the bride, to what signified a great deal more; he was looking for a help mate —one for dark days as well as bright. “I am afraid she won’t do for me, aud this is her uncle’s house, she will want to live just so.” Something like a sigh escaped him ns he walked away to another part of the room. Fanny watched liis departure wondering when he would return. She was sure he would rejoin her by and by ; he always had of late. But no return. Had he only known that Fanny’s silk dress was not anew one ; newly turned aud newly fitted as it had indeed been, by her needle and her skill, so as to make it quite as good as new—how prudent and thrifty that was? Had lie only known tliat the bracelet was a gift two years hvfore, and the gold pin why it was a decoration borrowed to pl\f e liis eye; so Fanny was not so culpable after all. I say, had known all this, lie had not stayed so strangely and cooilV all tliat live-long evening, while Fanny’s heart was sinking. AlUunifully did a tear gather in her eye, as she be held him parCvNllDiut a parting glance or a farewell word. Charles Scott woslToKouite satisfied, lie really loved Fanny, but lie was afraid to ma!*ryvher. It was not a sickly sen timental love. It counted tbe costs the chances, albeit, love, it is said understands no atjfih/iiutic, and no reason.

No; lie deteniNlii'J to abide by them. voted to business. Perhaps lie dreamed of Fanny, but did I not visit her. 1 Behold a gathering of friends, a pleasant little company ; Charles is there, ami Fanny, too. He thought she never looked so charmingly, with her simple braid of liair, and her modest fawn colored dress. There was something sad and reproaching in her eye, which smote him to tho heart. ‘Dear Fanny, how etui she interpret iny coolness,’ was the ques tion of returning fondness. ‘I menu to see her and explain to her all my views—if she is a girl of sense she cannot but approve, if site is not,’ —such a contingency remained unpro vided for. An excellent resolution ; Charles abided by it. It so happened, or was contrived (love changes am not always scri*nl|lc) that the two found themselves threading their way alone thraigh the streets at an early hour. Now for Char ley’s resolution—yes, he kept it. ‘But Fanny,’ he ooiWnued, with remarkable self-possession, after a few preliminaries ljft to be repeated, ‘I want you to understand exactly my sitmtion, how I intend for the present to live, and what plans wAnust pursue. I must live within my means—aud just startup in life, my means are necessari ly small. lam liable to the flliquations of the business world, aud we must begin with what wo>qn independently afford— no dashing out with borrowed capital V me.’ * You must take all these considerayms into account before you answer.

There was a pleasant little sitting-room, with sun beams and smiles, with Kidderminster and flag bottoms, un adorned by ottomans, or divans, astral lamps or marble tables. Her kitchen, too, was near by, where Ftinny was not ashamed to spend her morning hours. “ Do not come iu the morning,’’ said Fanny to a gay ac quaintance, you may perhaps find me making bread, or iron-l iug collars.” 8., * Doing your girl's work ?

She had no need of such pity ; was she not spreading the snowy cloth upon the dinner table ? cutting sweet white loaves of her own making ? fetching sauce of her own stewing? bringing pieces of her own baking? all products of her own skill; and did not the hearty ‘l’m glad to see you Charley,’ and her nicely broiled steak, quite com pensate for the perplexities of his morning business? True, hanuy had her trials; tho cakes did sometimes burn, and tlie potatoes were not always done—but then she did not have the blues—they swiftly sped away before early rising and em ployment. She bad no time for yawning and ennui, and never cried out ‘Oh, I’m dying for the want of exercise!’ Her chamber must be cared for, her pantry looked after, and the flour sifted ? Yes, Fanny know how to use her hands. She was a producer as well as a consumer. What delightful eve nings did they pass together, sewing aud reading, or enjoying friends.

Yes, and Fanny felt that the pleasure of having fine clothes and costly furniture', and many servants could bo no fair equiv alent to the satisfaction of to lend timely aid to the poor, and carrying the calm of relief to suffering hearts. ******** ‘ Ned, how is it with you V asked an old friend, whom he unexpectedly met some years afterwards in the city ; ‘ and where is Charles Soott ? —a lino fellow. Why, you are look ing well—l am for the West.’ 4 West, why so?’ ‘Oh, I can’t get along hero—hard times—family expenses are enormous.’ ‘ You won’t do any better at the M ost—be independent enough to endure one-lmlf the privations here which you must endure there, and you will get along cleverly,’ said Ned, iu his advice-giving way. ‘ Yes, yes#l dare say —but it’s the fashion there, and it’s not hero. ’ / have had a hard time of it since we were boys together,’’ continued the gentleman, bitterly; sleepless nights, devisiqg plans to make both ends meet; when I eould’nt, why what would Ido ?

The old friend sighed, as he repeated, ‘yes, everything depends upon a wife.’ Sliding Scale of the Inconsolablcs. We thus christen, whilst we translate, tlie follow ing lively narrative, called from the varied columns of the Courrier des Etats Units. The malicious wri ter dates from Paris. How rapid is the progress of oblivion, with res pect to those who are no more! How many a quad rille shall we see, this winter, exclusively made up from the ranks of inconsolable widows. Widows of this order exist only in the literature of the tomb stone. In the w orld, and after the lapse of a certain period, there is but oue sort of widows inconsolable —those who refuse to be comforted, because they can’t get married again ! One of the most distinguished sculptors was sum moned, a short time since, to the house of a young lady, connected by birth with a family of the high est grade in the aristocracy of wealth, and united iu marriage to the heir of a title illustrious in the annals of the Empire. The union, formed under the happiest auspices, had been, alas! of short duration. Death, unpitying death, had ruptured it, by prematurely carrying off the young husband. The sculptor was summoned by the widow. He traversed apartments silent and deserted, un til he uks introduced into a bed-room, and found himself ißpresence of a lady, young and beautiful, but liabiflra in the deepest mourning, and with a face fur xi wed by tears. ‘Ymrare aware.’ said she, with a painful effort and half choked by sobs, ‘You are aware of the I have received ?’ ■MBpTTTt bow Vlt, with an air of respectful eondo- the widow, ‘I am anxious to have. HSHaI monument erected, in honor of the husband lost.’ artist bowed again. that the monument should be superb. w<r- Hj|H the man whose loss I weep, proportioned to gWending grief into which his loss has plunged care not what it costs. lam rich, and 1 will sacrifice all my fortune to do honor to the ||||Hry of an adored husband. 1 mmt have a lon columns—in marble—and in the middle pedestal—his statue.’ “I winvlo my best to fulfil your wishes Madam,” replied lie artist; ‘but bad not the honor of ac qnaintaw with the deceased, and a likeness of him ; is for the execution of my work.

J ‘Not an hour ! not a minute ! could I exist with out his beloved image ! Look you, Sir, I have had it placed here, in my own room, that my eyes might bo fastened upon it, without ceasing, and through jmy tears. His portrait shall never leave this spot j one single instant, and in contemplating that will I | pass the remainder of a miserable and sorrowful e\- i istence.’ ‘ln that case, Madam, you will be compelled to permit me to take a copy of it. Bi tdo not be un easy—l shall not have occasion to trouble your soli tude for any length of time ; oue sketch—one sitting will suffice.’ The widow agreed to this arrangement; she only insisted that the artist should come hack the follow ing day. She wanted him to set to work on the in stant, so great w as her longing to see the mausoleum erected. The sculptor, however, remarked that he had another work to finish first. This difficulty she sought to overcome by means of money. ‘lmpossible,’ replied the artist, ‘I have given my word : but do not distress yourself; I will apply to it so diligently, that the monument shall be finished iu as short a time as any other sculptor would re quire, who could apply himself to it forthwith.’ ‘You see my distress,’ said the widow ; ‘you cau make allowance for my impatience. Be speedy, then, and above all, be lavish of magnificence.— Spare no expense ; only let mo have a master-piece.’ Several letters echoed these injunctions, duriug the few days immediately following the interview. At the expiration of three months the artist called again. He found the widow still in weeds, but a little less pallid, and a little more coquettishly dress ed in her mourning garb. ‘Madam,’ said he, ‘I am entirely at your service.’ ‘Ah !at last; this is fortunate,’ replied the widow, with a gracious smile. ‘I have made my design, but I still want one sjK’ ting, for the likeness. Will you permit me in to your bedroom ?’ ‘lnto my bed-room ?

Oh ! what a size ! What profu sion of decorations ! Why, it is a palace, Sir, this tomb !’ ‘Did you not tell me, Madam, that nothing could be too magnificent ? I have not considered the ex pense ; and by the way, here is a memorandum of what the monument will cost you.’ ‘Oh, Heavens !’ exclaimed the widow, after having cast an eye over the jotal adding up. ‘Why, this is enormous!’ * * U” not ■ ■ \:ti*tly ’n make a fi >4 : :.1 ’ l'liis, at ]>ivs. nt. \vu tU'iv i- time y.'t to et;t it Jititi.HHHH ‘A ell, then, mix ■ v.e wxv t JTand the columns, and all t! m.d content our-eive-. with tin- ‘ 1 me that would be vy approprittn^^i^a^j^^l ‘Certainly it would.’ ’So let it be, then—just the stat^HJHHHH| Shortly after this visit, the ly ill. He was compelled to give up on returning from a tour in Italy, prescribedTv his phy sician, he presented himself once more before the widow, who was then iu the tenth month of her mourning. He found, this time, a few roses among the cy press, and some smiling colors played over half-sha ded grounds. The artist brought with him a little model of the statue, done in plaster, and offering iu miniature the idea of what his work was to be. ‘What do you think of the likeness?’ he inquired of the widow. ‘lt seems to me a little flattered ; my husband was all very well, no doubt; but you are making him an Apollo !’ ‘Really ? well, then, I can correct my work by the portrait.’ ‘Don’t take the trouble—a little more, or a little less like, what does it matter?’ “ Excuse me, but I am particular about likeness es.” ‘lf you absolutely must —’ ‘lt is in the drawing room yonder, is it not/ I’ll go in there.’ ‘lt is not there any longer,’ replied the widow, ringing the bell. ‘Baptiste,’ said she to the servant who came in, ‘bring down the portrait of your master.’ ‘The portrait you seut up to the garret, last week, Madam ?’ ‘Yes.’ At this moment the door opened, and a young mail of distinguished air entered; his manners were easy and familiar ; he kissed the fair widow’s hand, and tenderly inquired after her health. ‘Who in the world is this good man in plaster ?’ asked he pointing with his linger to the statuette, which the artist had placed upon the mantlepiece ‘‘lt is the model of a statue for my husband’s tomb.’ ‘You are having a statue of him made ? The dev il! it’s very majestic !’ ‘Do you think so V ‘lt is only great men who are thus cut out of mar ble, and at full length ; it seems to me the deceas ed was a very ordinary personage.’ ‘lu fact, the bust would be sufficient.’ ‘Just as you please, Madam,’ said the sculptor. ‘Well; let it be a bust, then—that’s determined !’ Two months later, the artist carrying home the bust, encountered on the stairs a merry party. The ’ widow, giving her hand to the elegant dandy, who had caused the statue of the deceased to be cut : down, was on her way to the Mayor’s office, where j she was about to take a second oath of conjugal ti i delity. If the bust had not been completed, it would wil ; lingly have been dispensed with. When, some time ! later, the artist called for his money, there was an I outcry about the price; and it required very little i little less than a threat of legal proceedings, before i the widow, consoled and remarried, concluded by re- I signing herself to pay for this funerai homage re- I dueed as it was, to the memory of her departed hus band. wmmmmmmmmmamr i The True Value of Riches. But let me tell you, that riches with them re move many fears and cares. And therefore, my ad vice is that you endeavor to be honestly rich, or con tentedly poor ; but be sure that your riches bejust ly got or you spoil it all. For it is well said by Caus sin, ‘He that loses his conscience has nothing left that is worth keeping.’ Therefore, be sure you look to that. And iu the next place, look to your health ; aud if you have it, value it next to a good conscience;. | lur health is the second blessing that money cannot j buy ; aud therefore vaiue it, aud be thankful for it. j As for money, (which may be said to be the third blessing,) neglect it not; but note, that there is no necessity of beiug rich; for I told you, there be as tnauy miseries beyond riches as on this side of them; and if you have a competence, enjoy it with a meek cheerful, thankful heart.
