[Selected] A certain young man. living not a thousand miles from the city of London, had, at the age of one nnd twenty, come into the possession of a large fortune. Immediately thereupon the fair weather friends assembled about him, nnd sought to make him t>o lieve that they could make life pleasant for hitn. He was fond of company; full of lifey with no re straint savo his own ‘conscience,* and he was easily le'd on into the glare nnd glitter of convivial en joyment. His mother had died when ho was a youth of sixteen, and his father had lived but a year longer. And he had no near relative to counsel or to guide him. Once he had loved a beautiful young girl,* but his dissipated course had frightened her parents, and they had forbidden him their house until he could truly mend This had so angered him that he had torn the image out from his heart, resolving that he would nev be a slave ! And ho was living a brilliant, glorious life, he know—or, at least, eh told him so. lie drank deeper and deeper,* and, anon, he came to the gaming table. In short, every vice that a weahhv spendthrift might find fleeting pleasure in, h e ] indulged in. And the circle of fiends clung 1 closely. They swore/b'y him; de clared him a trump. They drank tile wine, and robbed Jiim his money,* and if a new source or pleasure could be lound, they all went in for the enjoyment, and he paid the bill. One day, after his eyes had be come bleared, and his step uncer tain, he met the girl he had once loved, in the street. He read pity in her sweet face, and saw tears in her eyes; and he tried to steel his heart; yet he thought of her until his wild friends ware again ar .und him. One day he went to the bank and drew out a thousand pounds. That night he eat down in his own apartments, with his own wine upon ti e sideboard, and his own cards upon the table, and played with his dear friends! The wine flowed freely, ho drank deeply, and the game went on recklessly. They played for high stakes, and played fast and late. On the following morning th 7“ young man awoke with a bursting bead and aching eyes. By-and-by he called to mind the events of the night, lie looked into his pocket book and into his purse. Empty, both ! And he remembered that he had given his checks to various members of the party for large amounts, lie found the counter foils, and they told him he had drawn his checks to the amount of over two thousand. Cut what of that? Before night he had drank brandy enough to steady his nerves, ami mako him once more happy. Another evening came, and again his friends were assembled round bis board. He had got up a grand supper for them this time! and af ter the various course of food had passed in order, came the wine and the toasts. And one of the friends, to whom a large check had been given, got up to offer a sentiment. “Fill up! fill up!” he cried, “while I give you the toast of tbo evening/ Here’s to our seber and thrifty host! May he be ever as sensible as he is at this moment!” It was drank with cheers—three times three. It was observed that from that moment the spirits of their host seemed to fail him. 7/e became moody and abstracted. By-and by soma one bantered him upon it, and asked him what was the mat ter. Ho answered: “I was thinking, did Tom tell the truth when he said I was sober and thrifty ?” And thereupon they all exclaim ed .* “Of course he did ! Oh ! was ever a man soberer, or more thrif ty ?” “Because,” pursued the host, pathetically, “1 shouldn’t want a friend to lie on my account!” ‘Oho ! Sensible to the last ! Fill up !” But thG host would drink no more. 7/e bade the oihers enjoy theraselvos as much, and as L>ng as they pleased; but thoy must ex cuse him. Without him, however, tho sport laggel; and when they found there was to be no card-playing they :o >n dispersed. And after they were gone, tho young man sat dov n alone, and thought; and the words, ‘ Sober atul thrifty !” “Sober and thrif ty!'’ rang in bis ears, and he rr poatod them aloud. And then he repealed; “May he be ever as sensible as he is at this moment!” And then, with a smiting of his clinched hand upon his bosom, he exclaimed, ‘ Tom di 1 not lie ! I will not let hitn lie!” On the following day the youth ! went to the hank, and was closeted for half an hour with the manager. ■ On the morning of the next day a paragraph appeared in the sooie tv papers, announcing: We are rather pained to announce that F— R—, the young man who was the inheritor of a fortune little more than two rears ago, has lost every penny. Misfortune has be fallen him; false friends have be trayed him; so that now his bill for less than a hundred pounds lias gone to protest. On the next day after this the young tnan (we will call him Fred) went to Tom Amberly, to whom he hid given hundreds and thousands, and asked him for the loan of a hundred poun Is. “ Ton my honor, Fred, I wish I had it; but really ” The youth waited to hear no more. He tried half a dozen oth ers, and with the same result; save that one man, who had won two thousand pounds from him at one sitting, offered to give him five pounds; but ho wouldn’t lend him! Then Fred went to his rooms, and sold off his furniture, and gave them up; and from that timo was lost to sight for several months It wa9 getting towards Christ* mas time that a society paper came out on a certain set, was startling: We are happy to state that a sad mistake was made a few months since in the announcement of the entire loss of Mr. F— B—'s for tune, lie had at that time|been vory unfortunate, and, through some strange mistake, a bill of his went to protest; but be is all right now. The manager of the bank where his accoun; is kept informs us that he will honor the young roan's check for a hundred thousand pounds with pleasure. Ail is well that ends well. Within fonr-snd-twenty hours of that time Fred was in receipt of a dozen gushing notes, from as ma ny different individuals, offering him any help in their power to give, and begging him to remem ber the old friendship. Only one of them did he answer and that was the note from Tom Amberly: Do you remember, Torn, that you ence offered a toast in my rooms in honor of myself; and you called mo your “Sober and thrifty! host ” And I resolved in my heart of hearts from that moment that vou had not lied!” And when tho Christmas bells were ringing Fred led tls-e dear girl of his old-time love to the a! tar, nnd took her hand in wedlock, promising that the night had pass ed, and that the morning had dawned upon and better life. |gfinance of History. Tt was nntting time. A Dooming band of peasant children had gathered from far and near to have a merry da* 7 amid the nut trees and hedges. I say children —but girls of fifieen and lads of eighteen and twenty were ecattercd through the chattering group The nut har est was a joyful time to them. The voting are always attractive in a cert tin way. The undimined bright ness of the eye. the satiny smooth ness of the complexion —the happy smiles hovering around tho rosy lips each has a beauty to itself; but add to the youthful face the charm of per fectly chiseled features, and of lustrous brown eyes looking out upon the world with nn innocent wonder at the changing scenes of loveliness so con stantly unfolding themselves before them —frame it in a mass of shining, wavy gold of nature’s own crimping— qnd poi-e it upon a form so lithe and slender in its exqusite grace that Praxiteles might have chosen it for his model —and you can form an idea of Rika Bremer —the aekr.ow!edged’beau ty of the whole surrounding country. And there was a romantic story ahnut her point; the rounds. It was said that no less a personage than Prince Eric, the son ol rhc great and “nod Oostavus, had been standing one morning by ©Soot the palace win' dows to witness n rustic procession, which had been gotten up in honor of some important victory, recently won by his famous father; and ns he 6tood gaziug listlessly out, his eyes brighten' e 1 suddenly, and ho turned to an at tendant and whispered a few words which caused him to hasten away When he returned ho was not alone Rika was with him. Prince Eiic’s beauty-loving eyes had been attracted by her, as she had stood amid a group o,f other maidens, looking at the gayly-dressed columns of her countrymen Cling by. She, too, was in holiday attire; and the black velvet jacket, fitting closely to her slender figure, and adurncd with silver-gilt buttons, brought out so vividly the exquisite fairness of her skin, with its rose*!caf tints ol red upon lips and cheeks, that she looked like a being of a different sphere ns she stood amid her mites. Confused and blushing, sbo now awaited the prince's pleasure. She dared not raiso her eyes to his face. Had she done so, she would have been overpowered by the earnestness of the gaze with which he regarded her. From the moment his eyes rested i upon Rika's face, the world hold but one peerless woman to him. It mattered not that his younger brother, Duke John, was even then in another kingdom, wooing tor him a royal bride, upon whose brow rested a diadem, whose splendor far exceeded the one which he was to inherit upon the death of his father. No. In that moment Elizabeth of England was forgotten. The peasant .maid who stood before him had be come the queen of his faney. ‘ Thy name, little one ?” ho asked Kika raised her eyes to the hand some, earnest lace, but dropped them ! timidly as she met his glance. ‘■l am I’rederika— the forester's daughter—yor majesty.” ‘•Nay, not yet crave I for that title, maiden, \oung blood must have its vent, and I am glad to know that the cares n} government are not soon like ly to rest upon my shoulders, broad though they^be." With a smile he glanced at his stab wart frame, which was acknowledged to be one of the finest specimens of physical comeliness in the country, as 1 (H. T. LEWIS, ( EDITOR. was his lace called the handsomest of any prince’s in Europe. Rika courtc.-ied respectfully, but did not reply. If the gtfittious prince chose thus to address as an equal one of l tho hum blest of his father’s subjects, she kDcW well her position, an ! was to the full as proud of her unsullied innocence and integrity as the haughtiest maid in> the ream. Her shy modesty added to her beauty in Erie's eyes. ••Where livest fhon* Frederika ?" he asked. softly ; “ fW' l would well like to send thy father a commission to fell some trees which much interfere with the c mfort of the king's hunting parties in the foreht.” This he said 1 , knowing rntuirlvefy that it would startle llika tfv give her his true reason and say that he intend ed t 'strirt eut himself in quest of fiirer and more precious-game—which must be ensnared in tenderer toils than those at file' command of the keenest sportsman at liis father’s court. After a few words more he suffered Rika to go. Rut the sweet memory of her presence went not with her. It nestled deep witf.in his heart. After this interview, scarcely a week passed that did not find Eric’s steps turned in the direction'of the forester’s cot "£'.• A glass of milk, from. Rika’s own white liands. was the draught morfc preferred by tRo royal hunter —al though, out of codYtesy, he would some times accept a mug of mead from th® sturdy old father. Matters were in this ,tage at the timo our story opens. The nuts were gathered, and tho merry groups had dispersed to their various homes, with the understanding that they should meet again the next day and go together to the palace and ui*p'nse of their treasures. The next morning found them on their way, dressed in their best, os bes came so eventful an occasion in their usually monotonous lives; for royalty has such a glamor to uninitiated eyes that the mere sight of the walls which shut it iD is eagerly coveted. It was a pretty sight to Rnyone who might have been stationed at the win dow, to see that blooming procession of neatly dressed lad* and lassos, as they jvended they way along with many a marry laugh and jest, until at last they halted in the great square before the palace. Rut to the watching eyes of the prince —who had received a hint of tha coming of the nut-gatherers—them was but one face worth looking at among the throng. ‘‘Come,” he said to the courtiers who were standing near, “let us go down to the square in a body and mako the hearts of you merry rustics even mer rier tO'day by exchanging some coins for the nuts they have with them.” A prince’s suggestion never lacks for listeners, nor for follower*; and soon the rich toilettes of the court peoj 1 r were scattered about amidst the crowd in the square. Eric’s steps were turned at once towards Rika. He soon possessed himself of her nuts; and after paying for them lavish ly in golden coin, he took from an inner pocket a locket and chain, which he cave to her, saying : “Wear it for my sake. There is no one who would look fairer in it. You ought to be a queen, little Rika, nnd I will y p t make yosoue-,” Before Rika had time to realize aught hut that his words had filled her heart with a bewildering sense of hapn pines , he had gone, his gift alone re maining to prove that she had not beeo dreaming. Rut she soon eanie to her sober senses. It was well known that King Gas* tavus had been holding negotiations with the maiden Queen of England, to induce her to bestow her jewelled hand upon his eMe-r son, and it had reached Rika's ears. Such a fhing had been known as a maid of low degree being woaed and won by a royal suitor. The tale of Grbel's happiness, sod of her woes as i well' was a favorite on# among the I folk-stories told around the humhla I hearths of the peasantry; and if fate I NO. 43.
