“ IS 1113 JEALOUS?”
Orliuc Baldwin’s JCxiMTiiuciit.
11Y AUGUSTA WASHINGTON.
It was night—a beautiful December
«night. Brilliantly flashed lights from the
residence of the Baldwin’s; upon the dewy
night air lloated music, and the merry
laughter of youths aud maidens told that
pleasure there held a festive scene.
It was Orlino Baldwin’s birth-night, the
feato was given ia her honor. The only
daughtej of a wealhty father, she was ca
ressed by the fawning, sycophantic crowd.
Even her female friends allowed that Or
lino was beautiful—a soft cream-like cora
•plexion, with a faint blyom.on her cheeks;
beauteous eyes of a violate hue, and hair
the envy of hair dressers, and many lady
friends. Her teeth were so beautiful, even
and white that they looked liko false.
The party was at its height, every body
seemed enjoying themselves. During a lull
in the dancing two gentlemen approached
Miss Baldwin. t)n*wa# a*tall handsome
man, tho intended hu bund of the lady.
His companion was a tall, handsome gen
tleman of society, recently from the Frenoh
capitol, his lips tilled with pretty sayings.
“ Orline, I have brought iny lriend hith
er. He will amuse and interest ynu, and
1 atn certain you will entertain him.”
Orline leaned back in her chair, and
looked up at Norman Parker with a saucy
smile.
“ Y< u are to arnuse and interest me and
I am to entertain you by Norman's order.’
“ Yes, are you prepired to please ?”
“Norm n srys I am, but people differ, 1
do n t agree with him.”
Elias Edwards smiled, and rematked
with praiseworthy gravity :
“ I am aware from experience that la
dies’tastes differ. Some prefer to bo a
n.u ed with a flirtation, < thers with an ac
count of the latest scandal ”
“A flirtation would be so nice, and I
wond r if Norman is very jealous.”
“ Jealous, to be sure he is. Every man
is very jealous.”
“I do not beleive Norman is so foolish.”
“ 1 have an idea, Miss Baldwin We
will get up a harmless flirtation and try
Norman.” *
“Agreed,’’ said Orline, mere’y anticipa
ting fun in tormenting one who had been
her lover from boyhood. Indeed, 1 hard
ly think she gave Mr. Edward’s idea a fie
ri us thought before agreeing to it. J)i 1
she feel she was making it her especial
mission to torment her betrothed husband ?
1 know she did not She was merely go
ing to try him, that was all. How beauti
ful she looked, a faint color on her cheeks,
as she was entertained by Norman’s friend
according to orders, as she to’il her be
trothed when he came to see if Edwards
was not ennuied to death he said, gazing
proudly at her he loved.
To him she was every thing pure and
lovc’y. Truth he traced in every linia
ment of her face. Honorab’e and high
minded himself, Norman Parker detested
falsehood and deceit. He loved Orline the
more lortdly, perhaps, believing sho was
his in word, thought and deed, as she
was.
A young lady claimed Norman s atten
tion j ist then, and Orlino became Mr. Ed
wards’ partner in the quadrille then form
ing.
Elias Edwards bad traveled much—had
been among the titled dames and deniui
selles of proud England - among her
peasantry ; Among the beauties of sunny
France, tho voluptuous maidens of Spain,
beneath the shades of Alhambra; he had
stood I eneathSt. Peter's grand,magnificent
dome, and watched Italy’s daughters in
coining and outgoing Yet never had ho
found a woman who seemed so lovely as
Onine Ba’dwin. The flirtation ho pro
posed would be on his part g nuine love
making, for, from the first sight, he loved
the promised bride of his friend.
At the request of many Orline p’ayed
aitd sang. He felt as he listened that lie
could worship her, that for the first ho
heard music. The hours glided by rapid
ly. It was when the clock struck for ine,
of tho morning hours, ore the last guest had
departed, and Orline felt alone
In biding her, “adieu’’ Mr- Edwards
bade tier remember their compact. She
smiled, actually smiled, as she said she
would not forget.
His thoughts were of her only. A\ bile,
after she had retired to her own room, she
sat by the window, wondering what Nor
man was doing, and laughing to herself,
at the idea of his his being jealous, and of
a man too, almost a stranger. Mr Ed
ward’s was foolish to think so. The pure
thinketh not of evil.
It is dangerous to play w ith edged toffs
—Jealousy is a mortal curse—tho tormen
tor and destroyer of love—of love that is
the light and life of life. Where was thy
good angel, Orline, that she did not warn
thee not to tempt the fiendish imaginations
and misgivings which are born of the un
hallowed brain of jealousy ? Why did
you not think ere you promised for amine
merit, to try the love of one, whose love you
knew, was like fine gold, beyond all price ?
Ah, Orline, to trust is to inspire trnhfu]-
ness.
Norman Parker, generally cool, .osy
and kind, was a very passionate man When
aroused. Ho loved fondly and belje v ed
implicitly in her ho loved, ffhe gave him
no cause to doubt her love, and ho never
thought of doubting it; would have just
as soon thought of aoubttng his own iden
tity. They had loved each other from
childhood nearly; bow eojtld it b#possi
ble for her to love another better ?
Harness Goods,
Norman would have laughed at such an
idea as ridiculous, if it had been presented
to his mind.
# « • • * * *
A month had elapsed since Online's
birth day party. The trial of her lover
had not succeeded to her satisfaction. At
times he looked troubled, she noticed it.
lie once spoke as if he doubted her love
for him. Foolish girl, she felt like throw
ing off the mask she had assumed, and
confiding in him. A false pride came in,
and whispered to her, ‘do not give up to
him ; how dare he to doubt you.
l’ride nestled in his heart also, and lot
bade him asking her confidence, and desi
ring not to enoournge Elias Edwards.
“ She will be offended,” ho thought, and
call mo jealous for nothing.
O man, you should close your years to
all venomous misgivings of the imagina
tion. Be greatly, nobly confident: doubt
is the father of unfaithfulness.
In tho circle in which they moved com
ments wero made on tho conduct of Miss
Baldwin. Miss Glass who was exceeding
ly homely, and ill-natured in consequence,
declared to her neighbor, Miss Curry, “that
for an engaged woman the conduct of Or
line Baldwin was abominable. Why sho
takes on with that Mr. Edwards in a more
affectionate manner than she does with her
husband to be.” Miss Curry repeated
with comments of her own, which she
charged to Miss. Glass, Orline Baldwin’s
disgraceful proceedings.
The remarks <>f Miss Glass wore re
peated fVum iijpi.ffi to mouth, gathering at
they V ent, until'‘they reached tho mother
of Norman Parker, in u story which Miss
Glass would never have recognized as em
anating from.her. It was a story disgrace
ful, and implying a dark spot on Orline
Baldwin’s fame.
O Scandal! that pours forth the leprosy
of thy invention from ear to ear—blasting
names as fair as snow and withering peace
once perfect. O, ye mischievous gossips,

actions and place the most malicious mean
ing upon till; exaggerating and embellish
ing, and bearing everywhere their hideous
frabrioations. Gossips hate all who re
joice in the lustre ol' an untarnished repu
tation !
No- man had called, as usual, upon Or
lino that morning, nrd she came forth look
ing so very charming, and asked dear Nor
man please to excuse her, she was so very
busy. An hour afterwards he saw her
walking with Elias Edwards. Then go
ing home, his mother told him of the re
ports. He was in a fit humor to believe
them
O, Orline, the storm-cloud is brewing
that is to burst upon thy devoted head

and could not yet g've her up. Feeling
very wretched, yet lie would attend a par
ty to be given that night, lie wrote a
note asking Orline to accompany him to
Mrs. Bates’ party. The reply he receive!
stunned him
“I am sorry dear Norman, but I havo
accepted as my escort to-night, your fiend,
Mr. Edwards. I hope to meet you there.
Yours, Oblink.”
“My friend ?” he muttered—“ Yes, sho
is right; I introduced him to her. Yes, I
ill gw to this party and look upou her for
the last time.”
Orlino had been visited with twinges of
romorse, on account of her deception to
him she"fovea; but this evening sho felt
glad and light hearted, for she was going to
tell him all, and with his arm sheltering her,
acknowledge to Mr. Edwards that Nor
man was like all good men, a trifle jeal
ous.
Without exception Orline was the' most
beautiful and bright ol all the gay assem
bly in Mi s Bates’par'or Norman thought
-o with a pang, as b-a caught sight ol her
in the midst of a crowd. He stood watch
ing her unobserved for some moments,
feeling so very \v.etched at tho idea of
giving her up, Ik did uot see her approach
ing until she stood beside him.
“Are you nut ashamed of yoursi 1, Nor
man Parker, to bo jealous of your own lit
t'e sweetheart.”
lie really blushed!
Bho told him of her foolish trial of his
love, and laughed at him for being jealous.
Orline’s experiment was whispered from
mouth to mouth, an 1 the young men and
girls were delighted at such romantic af
fair. Tho Misses Glass an i c unp my were
alone grieved that their neighbor had no
downfall, and went so far as to say “they
did not believe Orline’s version of the af
fair.” She did not care whut they believed,
as long as Norman did, and loved her, (if
such a thing were possible,) better than
ever before.
Orline had been Mrs. i’arker for moro
than a year before Norman toll her what
a dangerous experiment her’s came near
being—“for you would not only have lost
Norman Parker, but what is dearer still,
your spotless reputati ...”
Fli.ting, my lady friends, is a dangerous
amusement, and the more so when you
flirt merely to see if your lover is jealous.
Never try it, for all girls are not as fortu
nate us was Orline Baldwin.

The Frozen Ship.
Ono serene evening in the middlo of Au
gust, 1775, Captain Warren*, the master of
the ship Greenland, whalo ship, found him
self boealmed among an immense number of
icebergs, in about 77 deg. of North latiludo.
Ou ono side, and within a mil# of hiswessel,
there wero of immense height and closely
wedged together; aud a sucoossion of suow
covercd peaks appeared behind each other as
far as tho eye could reach, showiug that the
ocean was completely blocked up i:i that
quaitcr, and that it had probably been so for
a long period of time. Captaiu \\ arrens
did not feel satisfied with bis situation, but
there beiug no wind, be could not movo
either one way or tho other, and he therefore
kept a strict watob, knowing tbit ho would
be safe as long as tho icebergs continued in
their respective plates.
About midnight, the wind rosi to a gale,
accompanied by thick showersof snow, while
tt succession oi thundering* grinding ami
erasliing noises gave fearful evidence that
tho ioe was in nJctioa. Tho vessel received
violent shocks every moment, for the hazi
ness of the atmosphere prevented those on
board from discovering in what direction tho
I open water lay, or if there actually was any
at all on either side of them. Tho night
was spent in tacking as often as any cause
of danger happened to jr s :ut ittolf; and
in the morning tho storru abated, and Gap
tain Warrens found to his great joy that, his
ship had uot sustained any serious injury.
Ho remarked with surprise that the accu
mulated icebergs which had on tho preced
ing eveuiug formed an impenetrable barrier,
had been separated uud disarranged by the
wind, and that in cue place a canal of open
sea wound its course among them as far as
the eye could discern.
It was about two miles beyond tho en
trance of this canal that a ship made its ap
pearance about noon, to the great astonish
ment of the crew of the Greenland. The
sun shone brightly at thetime, aud a gentle
broiz; blow from the uorth. At first some
intervening icebergs prevented Captaiu
Warrens from distinctly seeing anything but
hir masts; but he was struck with the
Btrange m.anner in which her sails were dis
posed, and with the dismantled aspect of her
yards aud rigging. She o intiuucd to go be
fore the wind for a few furlongp, and then
grounding upon the low ioebergq remained
motionless.
Captain Warrens’ curiosity was so much
excited that he immediately leaped Into bis
boat with several seamen, and rowid to
wards her. On approaching he observed
that her bull was miserably weather beaten,
and not a soul appeared on tho deck, which
was covered with snow to a considerable
depth- lie hailed her crew several times,
but no answer was returned. Previous to
I stepping on board an open port-hole near
the main chains oaught his eye, aud on look
ing into it he porc< ived ft man reclining
back in a chair, with writing materials on a
' table before him, but the feebleness of the
light made everything very indistinot. ihe
party went upon deck, and having removed
the hatchway, which they found closed, they
desccnde Ito the cabin. They fitst cane to
the apartment which Cnptain Warrens view
ed through the port hole. A tremor seized
him as lie entered i’. Its inmate retained
Lis former position, and soemed to be in
sensible to strangers. He was found to b
a corpse, and a greoa damp mould hal cov
ered his cheeks and forehead, and veiled in
opea eyeballs. He had a pen in bis Laud,
aud a logbook lay luforc him, the last sen
fence in whose unfinished page ran thus:
u Nov. 14,1762. We have tow been on
closed in the ice seventeen days. The tin
went out yesterday, and our master has beet !
trying ever since to kindle it again, wilhou
success. His wife ui.d this morning
There is no relief ” _ j
Captain Warrens and his seamen hurrico 1
from the spoff without uttering a word. On j
entering the principal cabin the fiist object
that attracted their attention was the dead
body of a female, reclining on a bed in an
attitude of deep interest and attention. II r
countenance retained the freshness of life,
aud a contraction of the limbs showed that
her form was inxnima’c. Soated on the
floor was the corpse of an apparcStly young
man, holding a steel in one hand and a flint
in the other, as if in tlu: act of striking fire
upon some tinder which lay beside him. In
the fore part of the vessel several sailors
were found lying de*ad in their Lieths, and i
the body of a boy was seen crouched at the
bottom of the gangway stairs. Neither
provt.ions nor fuel could be discovered any
where; But Captain Warrens was picvent
by the superstitious prejudices of his sea
men, from examining the vessel as minutely
aa ho wished to have done. 110 theriltre
carried away the logbook already mentioned,
returned to his own ship, and immediately
steered to the southward, deeply impressed
with the awful example which he had just
witnessed of the navigating tho Polar seas
in high northern latitudes.
Oa returning to England he made various
inquiries respecting vessels that J tad and sap
\ eared in an unknown way, and by cam
paring the results of those with the informa
tion which was afforded by the written docu
ments in his possession, he ascertained the
name and history of the imprisoned ship
ship and of her unfortunate master, and
found that sho had be-n frozen thirteen years
previous to the time of his disooveriDg her
among the ice.

VOL. I. NO. 2.
Time—Faille—Fu«rrfy.
Every student of English literature will
remember the beautiful application which
Bulwcr makes of these words in ono of uis
earliost and best novels. They aro indeed
magical words, and we would, if possible,
infuse the spirit of them into tho minds and
hearts of our Amerioan youth.
They constitute tho conditions anti ele
ments of permanent success and superior
exoellenoo in all the departments of human
exertion.
One of theso terms—Faith —must, net be
taken in a narrow theological but in
its broader acceptation, as that faculty or
tondenoy of the mind which is the exact
opposite of tho processes of tho logical tin
dcrstnndintr. As thus defined, it is a char
ade i.tie of all great minds. It as much dis
tinguished Columbus in his search for anew
world, as it did Abraham in his pilgrimage
to Gao arm. It characterized Alexander in
his struggle after universal empire,, os well
as David when he undertook the conquest of
tho neighboring Philistines or Ammorites.
So that to tho list of those ciders whom
Paul commemorates in the epistle to the
Hebiews might br truthfully ndled three
master spirits of profane history, wl o,
grasping some transcendental truth of phys
ics or morals, or politics, havo embodied it
in nn illustrious action—or made it tho cor
ner stoco of system of government or pby
losopby.
No one, therefore, may hope to achievo
great results who is an utter stranger to this
“ vision and faculty div.ne.” He may be
happy and useful in his generation, but
without it ho shall sleep at last with the rudo
forefathers of bis native hamlet.
Nor is Energy hardly less neocssary to
eminent success than Faith. This is the
working capacity which all right-minded
men honor, even in the swarthy laborer,
who bammors iron or trundles a wheelbar
row. It is an excellent substitute for genius.
Many a young man has signally failed, not
for lack of capacity, but bcoauso ho was de
ficient in cne r gy. Hugh Miller, who
wrought through tbo day in tho stone-quar
rieß of Cromasty, and consumed half tho
night in classical studies, is an examplo of
that energy which wo commend. Such in
dustry will succeed in spite of every disad
vantage of fortune, aud will sometimes clc
vute him that practices, to the foremost rank
amongst his contemporaries. \\ e need this
quality in tho South more than all else at tho
present juncture. Our people havo been
impoverished far beyond their own present
appreciation. But though the field bo lost,
all is not lost. Wo have our maubood left
us. Wc havo brawn and brain, which, if
vigorously exoroised and wcll-dircctcd, will
vet make this beautiful land to bloom liko
Eden and blossom' liko the garden of tho
lords.
Time is another condition of success. We
live iii a “fast ogo.” We do everything in
a hurry, and seem to have utterly firgott-en
feet inti lente of the ancient*. The conse
quence is that our scholarship is superficial
—our public works, with few exceptions,
appear designed for ornament rather than
use, and the reading of the majority is con
fined to shilling novels and penny pamphlets
Ono can soaroely believe that we arc eff tho
sarno lineage with the Asehawa aed Eras
muses of a past generation, or that we wero
d’the same race, even with those who built
tho pyramids, or those later giants who
reared the vast cathedrals, and wroto tho
hugo fuliosof mediasval Europe. The great
works of genius, like tho Iliad of Homer,
and the i’rincipia of Newton, are the pro
duct of patient and prjtactcd intellectual
toil. They require line upon line, here a
little and there a little. And 60, too, it is
by persistent strokes of the chisel that the
shapeless block of marble is fashioned iuto
ibe masttrpicco of the statuary, and by per
severiog labor that the painter’s canvass is
made to glow with the touching scene of tho
list sopper. Time, Faith, Energy. Let.
these talismaniu wjrds be the motto of our
young men, and wo need rot then despair
of the fortunes of the S >ulh, nor cl iho
welfare of this great Republic, one and in
dissoluble. —Sc >tt's Mun’ldj.
Value of a ESIou«l<: Hsnslet.
There appears to be one thing, after all,
that is more valued for m t having cost any
thing ! Tho 1 Bowing incident, which wo
find in a French pap -r, Hu Urate* the truth
of this apparent impossibility. At ti Char
ity Fair, lately got. up by the benevolent
fashionables of Paris, the Princess P
bad a counter, covered with clrgant trifles.
One of her gay acquaintances, Count de
R approached tho stall, and after look
ing at all the articles, was wa’king quietly
away.
The lovely sbopworran, upon this, called
out to know whether he was going to be so
uncourtcous as to pass without buying some
thing.
“I would,” he said, “if you would sell
me what I want.”
“Well—what is it ?”
‘•That lock of golden hair which falls so
beautifully to your shoulder !”
“You shall have it,” replied ihe prinoess,
very promptly, and, seizing a pair of scis
sors, she clipped it, cl st to her temples. It
was then duly wrapped in a piper and band
ied across the counter. ‘ Five hundred
francs,” said tho princess.
The count as promptly drew a check from
his wallet, and filled it up f r tho amount,
soarcc-ly thinking it was rather dear, but
pocketing it with a very ciiivalric grace.
Tho next day, tho count, telling tho story
with some triumph to his sinter-in-law, who
happened to be an intimate friend of the
princess, was surpassed to find it received
with a burst of hearty laughter.
“The princess made a good bargain out of
you,” said his sister,‘‘for, as 1 chance to
know, the five hundred francs whioh she
charged you for that single curl, is three or
four times as much as she paid the hairdress
er for the wholo wig I”
Now. would not the count havo valued
that lock of hair considerably more if tna
the princess had chanced ucver to havo pre
viously paid anything for it '!
Mem.—A crop of unir on the ooul is
worth more than when it is harvested rud
brought to market.
