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, running h ther and thither to heark en to tales of evil; to of all 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 with ovejtowciing wrath. lie loved her 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.

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.

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.

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.
