Y'ou are my benefactor, D'Aubinot!’ he exclaimed, * and you have proposed a master-stroke of finesse.* * Tell me about this maiden aunt, Ma demoiselle Clemence.

She is a fine handsome woman, of the Juno type, thirty-five thereabouts.* * Surely my friend, even if you are love with Mademoiselle Stefanie, the society of another handsome ■woman—’ ‘I understand, Louis,’ interrupted the other. * But you musOtnow that I have an unconquerable dread of Mademoiselle Clemence.* The marquis laughed boisterously and long. * Afraid of a woman! he cried, at length. Impossible, Leolin; I will not behove it.’ ‘But I speak the truth,’continued Leo lin, half infected by the contagion of his friend’s mrriment. 'As I live, D’Aubi- uot, were that woman to say ‘yes,’ I shonld as soon presume to charge single- handed a regiment cf Hussars, " ‘ answer * no.’ ‘Butwhat is the strange power she l>o.ss*<sses over you ?’ I can not account for tho emotion; I merely know that it exists. As for ask- _ uig Mademoiselle Clemence St. Baroclie """ for the hand of her niece, I do not dare to make the request. So entirely docs Mademoiselle Clemence monopolize whatever conversation takes place be tween her niece and myself, that in the society of these two ladies I am wholly miserable. She has become the mediam, us it were, through whose intervention 1 am permitted to communicate with Ste- tanie. When I address a remark to the neice, it is received by the aunt, and if I may so express the operation—handed from her to Stefanie. In like manner, all that the younger lady desires to say is presented first to the hearing of the elder, who in her turn, proposes it to myself. I assure you, my dear D’Aubi- uot, that for the actual and personal re lation existing between Leolin de Moilly and the woman he adores, they might as well speak different languages—the one a Chinese or* Turk, the other a Pole or a Russian., 4 ' Ah, my friend, it is narrated of Pyrantels and Thisbe that they made love to each other through a stone wall; but I fancy that onr fate is still more •agreeable.

I am older than you, and have had more expe rience in Parian life. Tho type to which she belongs whom yon have been describing, is, briefly that of tho femme terrible; they are generally handsome, like the Mademoiselle’s annt, andpossess- odofar imposing Juno-like beauty.

Try that plan I suggested, of slip ping a note into the boquet I still re- l»eat—beware of Mademoiselle Clem- ‘You may leave the room, Stefanie.' It was her aunt who spoke. Standing in the centre of the brilliantly-lighted drawing room, directly beneath the blaze of an iifimense chandelcir, Made moiselle Clemence St Bvocbe was un questionably a superb woman to look upon. Robed in a statute of Jnno in purple “*~ v —coon ten- irons eyes: norms with pearls; augel/' and purposely mentioning name save his own, had been slipped by the florist according to . direction. A little farther toward the wall, and far less conspicuously placed, was a second bo- quet of jessamine and heliotrope, his gift to Mademoiselle Clemence, which bad accompanied tho other to her niece. . As we have said, Mademoiselle Clem- enec congliecl and glanced toward this ta ble. Her whole manner was now so thoroughly and unexpectedly auspicious, that Leolin summoned courage enough to murmur: * You mean the ' boquet, Mademoi selle?’ A briliant smile instantly overspread the statnesque features of Clemence. ‘Yes, monsieur,’ she answered, in tones of tho utmost sweetness, ‘ I do mean the bouquet.’ Lcolin’s courage rose immensely. ‘And you have read tho note. 5 ” he asked, eagerly. . ‘ You consent .to my— my proposal?’ r? Mademoiselle’s queenly head was bent low, and the Juno’s face suffused with blushes. Yes, M. Leolin, I consent. ’ As to settlement,’ began the Count de Mailly, too overcome with his new feel ing of delight to notice the blushes of his companion—‘as to settlements Made moiselle ’ She interrupted him with a gentle wave of her hrtnd and a repetition of her former smile. * I do not desire settlements, Leolin de Mailly. My own fortune, left me by the late Due St Barochc, Stc-fanie’s father,{will amplo supply all my personal wants. But thus is no time to speak of dry business,’ she continued, her voice sinking suddenly in a low, passionate murmur. ‘Oh, Leolin, you can not im agine the feelings with which I read the note Enclosed in the hoqnet of violets you sent mo this afternoon. The dream of my lifo was at last realized—the long ing to become the wife of ono toward whom every sentiment and impulse of mynatnre Great Heavens! you are ill! I have spoken too earnestly, perhaps, I did not imagine your love wos a mat ter of snch intense seriousness, that for mo to discuss how passionataly I recip rocated it would thus affect you.’ She was bending over him now, fan ning him with an exquisite toy of mar about feathers which she had seized from an adjoining table. Leoliu’s eyes were closed, bis face colorless. “Speak to me,” sbo murmured, tone of thrilling entreaty; “oh, speak to me, Leolin. 1 can not bear that deathly look, though I love you all the more for knowing that your love lms caused this emotion. Speak to me if only three words—‘I love yon.” Was it tho subtile power which tain strongly vital temperaments known to possess over certain weaker ones? Was it real old-fashioned witch ery? Was it an immense evertiou of oat will brought to bear upon another? Waf it mesmerism? Was it magnetism? Iu short, what was it that made tlio white lips of Leolin de Mailly unclose and mormur softly in the ear of Mademoiselle Clemence: * I love-yon.' Will our readers credulously accept the statement that in a fortnight from the evening on which we write, Leolin de Mailly was married, with all attendant solemnities usual ou such occasions, to Mademoiselle Clemence ^St. Baroclie? is a fact, nevertheless. A year has [passed. One bright May morning, two men, botl\ young, both handsome and distingue, meet near the great statue in the Place Vendome, Paris, and the following conversation takes place between them: * Ab, Leolin, I am delighted. I have not seen yon since * * My marriage,’ interrupted the other. ‘I recollect ^hat you started for Germany a few days before the wedding, D’Aubi not.’ ‘More than that, my friend,’ answered the marquis, with a curious smile. ‘ Yon and I have not met since a certain morn ing when you visited my apartment, and ’ * Yes, yes’ again interrupted the other, with an odd mixture of prim humor and irritabibilty in his voice. ‘ You suggested the plan of the note to a certain person, which failed disastrously.’ ‘ Failed ?’ Yes. The -florist put the note in the boquet, as I desired, bnt sent it to the annt it ftead of tile niece. The note was addressed to no one in particular; I called a certain person ‘dearest angel.’ , f now your"curiosity is, I hope, gratified. Mind, marquis, no word of this at the clnb.

Beside her annt. Stefanie St. Earoche Jmd not been the only occupant of tho drawing-room. Count* Leolrn de Mailly - was also present—lie had called to accom pany tho ladies to the opera that evening ilency of society fu IW direction of unre strained indulgence iu all forms of «ebsn- ous gratification is alarming. • Whether this is tho result of a reaction in tho pub lic wind from restraints necessarily im posed by years of devastating civil war, or of an advancing civilization which ministers mainly to material ends and luxurious tastes, it is certain that the eager rush of Southern society after amusements of one kind and another is one of the startling signs of the time. We feel assured that a religion of mere forms and dogmas, whatever its boasts may be, cannot arrest this current, or counteract its tendency to ruinous social degradation. Nothing less than a gen uine godliness, in the power of its regen - orating influence, can meet the necessi ties of the case. So powerful, indeed, are the fascinations of pleasure, so abound ing the iniquity, in high places and low, that “ tho love of many has waxed cold. ” Young persons of cultivated mind end elegant manners, who may desire to be sincerely religious, are specially open* to danger, from the tone of surrounding fashionable society, and from tho plausi bilities of tho worldly spirit. But the law of gratification which rules the world, and offers tlio present and immediate, is, and ever must be, opposed to the unbend ing law of duty which conscience and God impose. There can bo no compromise bore. There can bo no inwaTd experience of grace, no valid religion of the heart, which is not preceded by a full, unreserv ed, irrevocable commitment to the Lord Jesus. This commitment devolves self- denial—taking np tho crossaud following Christ. It is the surrender of tho will to a supremo governing purpose—of the af fections to a supreme go\ erning lov religion of mere culture, of amiabilities and H-stlietic tastes, of sentiment, ion, and ceremony, may readily participation in “ diversions wldol not be used iu the name of the Lord Je- darning and reveling, iu theat rical, operatic, tuid circus exhibitions, in the gambling operations of the turf-—not to mention tbo recently revived excite ment of the cock-pit But the religion which is a divine life in the soul of Christ* true disciple, heeds tho voice of con science, and feels tho powers of the world to come. It concerns tho dignity of ho liness, the strength of self-denial, the glad freedom of a spirit rejoicing Right aud Good. Such a religion needs not, desires not, allows no participation in worldly pleas- divisions which, however sanc tioned by fashion, are felt and known to bo wrong by every truly awakened heart. Its spiritual disccrznenU is not deceived by well-dressed plausibilities, by refine ments in taste or respectabilities iu social position. It has “put on the Lord Je sus,” and mado “no provision for tlio flesh to fulfill the lusts thereof. ” The in fluence of this form of religious character may be silent, but it is none tho less po tent, iu tho family, by tho fireside, at tho watering place, or on the broad thorough fares of business. What the Church Un-s. will alone affect the world. Iu conclusion, we beg to suggest that the jmstors of the M. E. Church, South, give heed to tiiese tilings in tho adminis tration of discipline. Indulgence in worldly diversions of tho ^lass aforemen tioned, we hold to be inconsistent with tlio baptismal vows of onr members, and with their Church covenant. They have solemnly engaged to “renounce the devil and all liis works, tho vain pomp and gloiy of the world, with all covetous de sires of tho same, aud carual desires of the flesh, so that fli-y will not follow or be load by _ them.’’ The Book of Disci pline provides not only against crimes and gross immoralities, bnt there is a process laid down fur cases of “impru dent, and indnlging siuful tempers or words.” We aro persuaded that where that process is faithfully, firmly, bnt kindly followed, these growing evils may be arrested. That you all, beloved brethren, may be blameless aud harmless, the children of God without rebnke—lights in the world, holding forth tlio word of life, is the earnest desire and prayer of your pastors. “Whatsoever things aro true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good re port, if there beany virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.— And may the God of peace be with yon. *’ In behalf of the General Conference and the College Bishops. It PAINE. Memphis, May 25, 1870. Beactifci. Sentiment^.—In Augustin Laura Courtland’ niters these beautiful sentiments: “ Let the woman you look upon bo wiso or vain, beautiful or home ly, rich or poor, she has-but ono thing sue can give or refuse—her heart. Her beauty, her wit, her accomplishments, she may sell to you—but her love is the treasury without price. She only asks in tarn that when yon lsok upon her, your eyes shall speak a mnto devotion; that when you address her, yonr vhioe shall be gentle, loving and kind; that yon shall not dispise her because she cannot understand all at once your vigorous thoughts and ambitions plans; for when misfortune and evil have defeated your greatest purposes—her love remains to console you. Yon look upon tye trees for strength and grandaer; do-not. des pise the flowers because their fragrance is all they have to give. Remember, love is all that a woman can give—but it is the only earthly thing which God permits to carry beyond tho grave.” * Audacious Conduct of* * ‘Bebel” Mother.

Suppose the factors and planters refuse to submit (for a few weeks only) to the present prices, then how can tho gam bler* comply with their contracts to the spinners ? and, in that case, what spiijpera to do ? If there is any concert action among the cotton factors, and the planters will cease drawing them for a while, so as to better eiia< ble them to hold firmly for ono month, less time, it would have the inevitable effect to pnt cotton up three or fonr cents - per pound; and it would have the addi tional effect of killing off these “future” gamblers for a long time to come, f they, would bo buried so deep under the rnbbisb, caused by the toppling fabrics they have reared above their heads, that they would not be lieard of as “ specula tors in futures” tho balance of their lives. costly of the sort that ance on the driver in been engaged in designing and i taring the mountings for the which the animals belonging H in-htxud are to . wear.

Goo's Law Perfect.—Au eminent law yer who had not read tho Bible, and was doubtful about its beiug God’s word, ask ed a Christian friend to tell him -what books lie should rood to satisfy his mind. His friend said, “ Read the Bible itself. ” The inquirer thought his • question lmd been misunderstood. lie wanted some books that would say something about tho Biblo. But his friend said: “No; I will not send you to other books. Read tho Biblo for yourself. ” The lawyer ob tained a Bible. ‘ ‘ Where eliall I begin ? ” said ho. “Oh, begin at the beginning, and read it thronglu " The Christian called upon him new and then, and' was delighted to find that lie-continued to read. O ae day the friend found tlio doubt er walking np and down his room full of thonght Ho .inquired what subject oc cupied bis minfi so completely. “ I have been reading, ” said he, “ the moral law in the Book of Exodus. ” “ Well, what do you think of it?” “Why, I have been trying whether I can add anything to it, but I can’t; and I have considered whether there is anything that can bo ta ken from it, so ns to make it better, and I caunot It is perfect. ” U Onr humorists sometimes use the keen edge ot their wit inrighteous slaugh ter of follies that can be dealt with in no other way so efifectively. Mark Twain is at present the best of these. A Rev. Tal- madge, of Brooklyn, recently said in tho Independent, iu behalf of renting pews; I have a good Christian friend who, if ho sat in the front pew in church, and a working man should enter the door at the other end, would smell him instantly.— My friend is not to blame for tho sensi tiveness of his nose, any more than -you would flog a pointer for being keener on the scent than a stupid watch-dog. The fact is*, if .you had all the churches free, by reason of the mixing up of oommofl people with, the uncommon, yon would keep one-half of Christendom sick at their stomach. If you are going to kill the church thus with bad smells, I will have nothing to do with this work of evangelization. To which Mark Twain responds: We have reasons to believe that there will be laboring men in heaven ; and also a number of negroes, andEsqomanx, and Terra del Fuegaps, and Arabs, and a few Indians, and possibly even some Bpan- iards aud Portuguese. All things are possible with God. We shall havo all these sorts of people in heaven; but alas! in gettiug them we shall lose the society of Dr. Tolmudge. 'Which is to. say, we shall lose the company of one who could give move real “tone” to oelestiftlsocie ty than any other contribution Brooklyn could furnish. And what woald eternal happiness be without the Doctor? Bliss- full—unquestionably—we know that well enough—but would it be distingue would it be recherche without him ? St. Matthew without stockings or sandals; SL Jerome bareheaded, aud with a coarse brown blanket robe drugging tlie ground; St. Sebastian with scarcely any raiment at all —these we shonld see, and should enjoy seeing them; but would we not miss a spike-tailed coat and kids, aud turn, away regretfully, aud say to parties from the Orinet: “These are well enough; but you ought to seeTahnadge, of Brooklyn.” I fear me that in the better world we shall even have Dr. Talmodge’s “good Christian friend.” For if he were sitting under tho glory of the Throne, and the keeper of tho keys admitted a Bejamin Frankliu or other laboring man, that “friend,” with his fine natural powers Infinitely augmented by emancipation irom hampering flesh, would detect him with a t ingle sniff and immediately take his hat and ask to bo excused. Suppression of Letters ant> Papers. — R. Roman Correspondent of the New York Times says: Every day I have testimony to the fact of the espionage and restraint exercised with more rigor than ever by the Roman police.
