a poor family, wearing the old mink victo'
rine.
“Can yon wait a few minutes, Anna ?”
“Certainly. For what?”
“While I tell you about that cape.” Julia
gave its history, extenuating naught. “Now,
Anna, do you wonder that I do not wish to
wear it again!”
Miss Willard listened with the deepest in'
tercst. “I am glad to hear this, Julia,—more
glad than you can imagine,’ she said. T thought

furu in the street with intense interest. She had
the satisfaction of hearing one lady say to an
other, “That's a handsome cape!” She met
Sophia Barley, and her cape, which last week
was an object of envy, now looked so shabby !
She saw two or three handsomer than her own,
and began to murmur at Fortune for not sen
ding her the best while she was about it
She met Catherine Perry, who exclaimed,
“What u .splendid cape! That, to be sure, is
worth waiting for.. But where are your caffs
and muff? Nobody wears a capo alone.”
Julia had thought of that, for her bands and
arms felt the loss of their usual protectors,
which were not esteemed worthy companions
of the new magnificence.
On her way nomc she went into a shop, and
it seemed to her that she was treated with more
attention than usual. After making most of
her purchases sbe passed to another part of
the establishment and sat down, waiting, with
an air of patient condescension, while a young
woman behind the counter received and re
turned tbo cordial greeting of a plainly dress
ed lady in deep mourning. This haughty air
was not natural to Julia. At another time it
would have given her real pleasure to witness
such a meeting. But to-day sbe was the slave
of a cape, and hero were two persons who did
not acknowledge its preeminent claims. She
rose disdainfully to leave the shop.
“Pardon me.” said the shop-woman, “I will
attend to you at once.”
“No matter,” sdid Julia, coldly. “I am in
haste, and will not interrupt you.”
This was said with an air of superiority which
sbe thought eminently suited the wearer of a
sable capo.
She returned home feeling a good deal exal
ted in the scale of being.
The next day she put on her handsomest
dress and the beloved cape which kept both
body aud spiritso comfortable, and paid her
visit to Miss Willard. She was shown into a
parlor whose costly elegance she painfully con
trasted with her own simple and more tasteful
home. “It is well that I bavo this!” she
thought. “How I should have felt to come
here in my old victorine!”
Presently a lady in black entered and ap
proached her. To her great surprise sho re
cognized in Miss Willard the lady whom she
bad met in a shop on tho previous day. Miss
Willard also remembered Julia.
“I owe you an apology,” sho said, “for so
interfering with your shopping yesterday.”
Julia begged her not to mention.
“1 had heard that my old friend. Miss Saw-
tclle, was there, and went to see her. Wc were
both affected at seeing each other. It was
hardly the place for our first meeting after this
long separation, which bad brought such chan
ges to us both. It was not strange that she
forgot her duties.”
Julia replied thnt if sho could have imag
ined anything of tho kind sho would uot have
interrupted them for a moment.
“I know it. I am sure that you would not
willingly have given pniu. She is u noble
girl, anil I admire her independence in taking
a situation where she is constantly exposed to
to iusult from the heartless among her old ac
quaintances. Her uncle wished to adopt her
after her father’s reverses; but she said it was
better for herself to be independent, and she
wished, if possible, to encourage others by her
example. I always thought her ono of the
most cultivated and lovely girls that I knew,
but I did not give her credit for so much dig
nity of character.”
“It is a great and rare pleasure,” continued
Miss Willard, “to find a person acting out her
own convictions, and living according to her
ideal. Thcro is so little individuality among
us Americans! We dress, and furnish our
bouses, and live, in a certain style, because our
neighbors do, without consulting our own cir
cumstances or even our own tastes. The Eng
lish, with whom I have lived tho last year, err
perhaps ou the other extreme; but, in so do
ing, they show at least a self-respect which
Americans in general cannot boast of.”
“Yet,” said Julia, “one docs not like to be
entirely different from other people. We all
‘ ' c of'othcrs by those outward things.”
[ confess,” replied Miss Willard, “that my
pride would take that direction. When Isec
all these vulgar people striving to be fashion
able—looking os if they carried all their pos
sessions on their backs—having no higher aim
than to have their silks, and furs, and laces as
expensive as their neighbors—I feel like dres

of this mean ambition, this paltry vanity, this with the cape done np in pape:
self-indulgence and self-assertion! How lit- it to her father. Not if she hat
tie they know of the true value of money—of
tho truo meaning of life!”
Julia made a feeble assent, rather bewil
dered by this new view of things. Sho was
entering into a sphere in which fur capes wero
not in the nseendant.
“I am afraid that you will think me very
severe,” continued Miss Willard, with a sweet
smile; “hut I feel very deeply on this sub
ject. On coming home, and looking at things
in the light of a great sorrow, I long to be n
preacher offt-ith.”
“Of faith!’’ echoed Julia.
‘Yes; of faith in something nobler and more
satisfying than self and this outward world ;
of faith iu allcavcnly father, who gives to each
his peculiar lot and Lis peculiar duties! Why
not take cheerfully what He gives us, without
grasping for what He gives to others ? Why

was so necessary!
We will not say that Julia’s feelings were
not to be envied; for the first awaking of tho
soul to its own degradation, its own wants, to
the consciousness of being so far off from what
is most desirable—surely this is infinitely bet
ter than self-complacent blindness.
Here was a lady, young, and gifted with
all the means of self-enjoyment aud sell-ag
grandizement, one who could turn U P°“ hc £

her not forherselt but for others. Her Pure
and simple tastes were gratified at IHUe ex
pente. She shrank from every thing which
attracted attention to herself. Her free and
loving spirit gave itself forth to cheer, to com
fort, and to help others. And when she met
this young girl, in whom she know that her
brother felt a deep interest, and saw with pain
that tho spoiler had entered her soul and was
eating up its treasures, her heart warmed with
pity and sorrow. Her brother bad spoken of
Julia as modest and unpietendwg; nnlike
most New York girls in her simpie wturalness.
Little did Jnlia know tho mischief thatthe
cane, and the detire for the cape, had done.
Little did she think that tho first time she wore
it, when she entered the lecture room, Mr. Wil

This question was asked by Mil* Willard,
one morning, when Julia called for herto visit
your simple
“I like to see people well-dressed,’* replied
Miss Willard, smiling ; ‘‘but I have resolved
for myself that there shall be nothing in my
appearance to remind any one of the poor stuff
which sometimes separates friends. Ob! Julia,
was notthe way in which I acquired it enough
to tench me how little it is worth ? In inher

Death gave it to me—a death which showed
me, more than any thing else has ever done,
how worthless are the vanities of this life—
how great and real arc the things which lie be

“I am ashamed to tell you of ono feeling I
had, but I will. I thought, ‘She can afford not
to dress well.’ ”
“And so I con,” said Miss Willard, smiling;
“and so can any body who has any thing in
herself which makes her indifferent to the opin
ions of others. For my part, I consider great
thoughts and great objects, agreat joy, a great
hope, a great sorrow quite as enobling as a
great fortune.”
“But, my dear Jnlia,” she continued, “there
is no harm in your wearing the cape since you
have done worshiping it. Indeed, it is impru
dent to leave it off; and it bad best d
somebody.”
No, I shall never wear it again. It has
given me only pain and mortification since the
first day I saw you. Discontent and pride
and envy arc written all over it. The poor
have seemed to reproach me for wearing it,
and the rich to ridicule me, and my own heart
has condemned me. If I could only find the
owner how thankfully I would restore it!”
Anna kissed her tenderly, and said, after a
pause, “I have something to tell you, Julia.
That was my cape.”
Yours!”
'Yes. I recognized it at oacc, when you
came to see me, by its peculiar shape and fas
tenings.”
“Oh! Anna, what an angel you have been !”
And Jnlia bid her wccpingfacc one her friend’s

wear it to be reminded of my—
■So, Julia, I shall never wear it again. I
never liked to wear it. It was the gift of my
uncle, and I wore it only for that reason.”
'How could you let me come into your pres-
cnce ? How you must have dispised me!”
“You might despise inc, Julia, if you knew
my heart. What can any ottudoin thi« life
but repent, and strive, and look upward to
One who knows all, and yet docs not cast us
off?”
“I do repent—I do strive—I do look upward
os my only hope,” said Julia, solemnly.
“Do you not think.” said Anna, “that we
hate the sins of which wc repent more than
those which are comparative strangers to us ?
That low back-door of penitence leads us into
the safest places.”
“But return to our cape,’’ she continued.
“I gave it to you long ago. Yon can wear it
or not, ns you please. Do what you like with
it. I has caused you a great deal of pain;
perhaps in some way it may give you pleas
ure. Its loss has been a great gain to me. I
have received far more than its value in ex
change. Now I shall not relax; I am firm.’’
“It you will insist upon making me a thief,
I shall exchange the stolen property into some
thing less liable to be detected.’’
“Very well; just as you please.”
“And I shall wear this horrid old, shabby
victorine for tho rest of tho winter, causing
thereby great scandal.”
“And your father?” asked Anna. “Will
ho consent? Does he know about it ?”
“I told him all last night.”
“What did he say ?”
“Every thing that was kind. It seems as
if you both loved me better than ever.”
“I am sure wc do,” said Anna, kissing her.
Tho next morning Jnlia came down stairs
ter, and handed

him in queenly attire would he have felt such
pride in her os now, on seeing this triumph
over self and vanity.
“Now I feel like mysetf, dear father; like
your own Julia.
He kissed her tenderly. “You have fully
decided to give it np ?”
“I dcsiro never to see it again, I shall
breathe more freely without it. ^ It has been
only a burden. Now, father, will you do the
best you can with it, and let me have a little
satisfaction out of it at last ?”
Wo must not tell her secrete, but wo have
no doubt that others, too. received some com
fort from it. who did not know how much more
blessed was the giver.
“Do you believe that Julia Lane is wearing
that old victorino again! What do you sup-
poso it means ? I can not understand it,’ said
Miss Bidwell.
“Nor I, cither,’’ said Miss Perry.
Probably not. , .. ,
Perhaps George Willard understood it, for
ho spent that whole evening with her, and left
her with a decided feeling that she, too, “could
afford not to dress well.’’
African Agriculture.
Dr. Livingston, the great African traveler,
says that on tne western coast of Africa, in the
valley of the Lucalla, the soil is very fertile.
—Fruit trees and grape vines yield their fruit
twice a year, and grains and vegetables do the
same if sown. By taking the ’advantage of
tho mists of winter, three crops of pulse are
raised. The grass is so tall that in one section
it was two feet higher than his head, when
standing on the back of an ox. and was as
large around as a goose quill.—Produce is
very cheap, and the roads very poor. They
have two breeds of cattle. One is of diminu
tive size with short horns, and' the other has
lees nearly six feet in length, with large horns.
Tbo Africans are fond of cattle, and spend
much time in ornamenting them. They shave
the horns in order to carve them into fantastic
shapes, and brand the skin with a hot knife,
so as to make a discoloration of the hair in
lines, like a zebra.—The stranger the marks
the handsomer the animal. The greater the
contortion of the horns, the greater the valua

TUB PRESIDENT
His Excellency, James Buchanan, is an old
gentleman of some seventy years of age, stand
ing six feet one or two inches, in his undarned
bachelor stockings, of florid and rather hectic
complexion, and with hair white and glistening
as the glass threads in the gloss tails of the
glass birds of Paradise made in Barnaul's by
an ingenious operator, and sold at twenty-
five cents apiece to gaping children. His anx
iety about the disputed line of Oregon has in
clined his head to tho left at an angle of fifty-
four-forty or fight; and his left eye seems de
tailed from general service and on permanent
secret duty, supervising the developments in
Cuba. He lurches heavily to the left in walk
ing, and simpers gossip with ladies through
the left side of his not regular mouth. In
dress he is somewhat of the diplomatic dandy;
and the vast white linen kerchief worn round
his neck, is intended, I presume, as a states
manlike encouragement to the flax growers
and linen bleachers, in the mighty prairies of
the West. His manners are extremely court-
TIic Pocket-book.
“Tom Jackson soys he does not believe there
is a God: he says he never saw him. And I
don’t know as I believe: I never saw him,”
said John Clary, jait como in from the society
of Tom Jackson.
“I. do,” replied bis mother; and she said
nothing; *irc. ■
A week or two after this, John hurst into
the kitchen, with Tom Jackson at hisliccls.
“0 see mother,” he cried, “what I have found
—such a handsome pocket-book.”
Where did you find it ?” asked his mother.
“In Pine Grove. Now, whom do you sup-
poso it belongs to ?”
“Rd it not grow there?” said his mother.
“Grow there!” exclaimed John, lifting up
his eyebrows with great surprise. “A pocket-
book grow in the woods! Who over heard of
•nek a thing ? It could not be.”
•Why not ?” she asked.
‘•Why not!” replied the boy : “the pockct-
boik was made on purpose. Look here!’’
ipening it; “here is a place for the hank
ills; and here Is a little out-of-the-way spot,
•with a sung fastening, for gold dollars, and a
nemorandum-book, and a pencil-case, and
mcli a beautiful gold pencil. Look, mother—
with a pen and lead both, it was made for a
man to use.”
Some contrivances, here, certainly, said his
eous and affable, more especially to women, mother putting down her work, and taking it
_:.u _i.— *l- ii her hands for examination. “It is one of
the most useful pocket-books I ever saw. If
it did not grow there, perhaps it made itself.”
Both boys stared at her more and more.
“Why mother, you talk foolish,’’ said John,
with a puzzled and sober air. “There must
havo been a man with a mind to havo made
this.”
“A man that knew how—a pretty neat work
man added Tom Jackson.
How do you know ? You neve, saw him,”
Said Mrs. Clary.
“No, but I’ve seen his work; and that’s
enough to convince me. I am just as certain
that some body made it os if I saw him.”
“You are ?” said Mrs. Clary: how so ?’’ «
“Why, mother,” said John, very much in
earnest, “you see the pocket-book bad to be
planned to answer a certain purpose. Now,
it must have had a planner : that’s the long
and short of it; and I know it just as if I saw
it planned and done. It’s foolish to think
otherwise.”
“Now,” said his mother, “itis just as foolish,
when you seethe wonderful contrivance of the
beings around you, and the design with which
they are put together, for you to doubt or to
deny there is a God who made them. Who
planned your eyes to see with, your cars to
hear with ? Can eyes make themselves ? Can
a man make a bird ? Who created the sun,
and planned the day and night. Did your pa
rents plan you fingers, aud make them grow ?
You know perfectly well that a great Being
thought before hand, designed, and contrived
the eye, and the car, and the sun, and your
fingers—all things and all being is God, the
eternal Mind, the great Maker of us all.”

clasped the negro’s hand, and shookit long and
cordially. Sawney then plied his acquaintance
with interrogations as to his name, nativity and
former occupations: but, eliciting no replies be
yond a knowing sliaks of the head, or a merry
twinklingof the eye (the ape was probably med
itating the best way of tweaking the’darkey’s
nose,) he concluded that the ape was bound to
keep non-committal, and, looking cautiously
around, chuckled out. “He, he, you too sharp
for them, old follow; keep dark; if ye d jist
speak one word of English, white man have hoe
ir ycr hand in less than a ininnte.”
A Connecticut Freshet.
The Hartford Times gives an amusing ac
count of the scene in that city caused by the
freshet. The writer took a boat-ride up one
street, and found the grocery business quite
dull ou that thoroughfare, the residents sun
ning themselves at the second-story windows.
The chambers and garrets were crammed with
human beings, provisions, and furniture, while
tables, chairs and beds, that could not be
moved up stairs, were floating in the rooms of
the first story. Milkmen were serviug their
customers from boats,aud dozens of pro tempore
ferrymen were making a good thing of it by
ferrying passengers about. The Times says
some of the houses are in a very precarious sit
uation, and in many places the streets and
roads can he distinguished only by rows of
trees on their borders rising from the water.
Tiic Jacksonville Homicide.
The Jacksonville (Fla.) Republican gives
the following in relation to the recent killing
affair in that place:
As it will be some time yet before a legal
investigation is had, wc would simply state,
for the information ofMaj. Gregg’s friends
abroad, that he was instantly killed by a pis
tol shot in the hands of Mr. Alfred Sears, while
passing from his room to the Ladies’ parlor to
join a party in a game of whist. Maj. Gregg
could not have had tho slightest apprehension
of an attack from Mr. Sears, as no angry
words had ever passed between them.—For
the last three years Maj. Gregg has held the
position of Chief Engineer of the Florida, At
lantic & Gulf Central Road. He leaves a wife
aud two children.
The Fall or the Mississippi River.
Tne rate of descent necessary to produce a
ripid current in a river is very slight A full of
ten inches to tho mile is sufficient to obstruct
navigation. It is owing to the very slight de-
scent in tho Mississippi river that it is navigable
to so great an extent. We learn from an ar
ticle in the Journal of ihe Geographical and
Statistical Society that tho rate of descent in
that river, below its junction with the Ohio, is
but ti inches to the mile, and from the mouth
of the the Minnesota to tiie Ohio 5.7b inches.
Tho total fall from the mouth of the Minneso
ta to the Gulf. 2192 miles, is 741 feet; or at
tho rate of 4.07 inches to the mile. The great
est fall is between tho Rock Island Rapids and
the Ohio—C-4 inches to tho mile.
with whom be delights to converse on the small
scandals and bohea gossip of the Capital.
There is something stately and mournful in
his isolatiou, for I believe he has not one warm,
familiar friend, (except perhaps, the Plitte, of
Philadelphia, who arc more like humble re
tainers) on the surface of die footstool. ’Even
his niece is addressed by him as “Miss Har
riett,” and priding himself on conscientious
coldness, he gets along as best he can without
either sympathy or consolation. Never has
there been in the White House a more labori
ous occupant; he reposes no confidence even
in his Cabinet officers, but insists on first read
ing every paper which they put before him for
his signature. He seldom leaves the house
for exercise and air, but spends twelve or six
teen hours a day in discharging drudgeries of
detail, which might much better be ieft to the
care of subordinates in the departments. Again
and again, on every possible occasion, he disa
vows with contempt and ridicule his supposed
aspirations for a second term of office. “Two
old men,” he says, “myself and Lewis Cass,
if wc lire so long, will quit this city on the Gth
of March, 1661, with much lighter and less
burdened hearts then we bore with us on com
ing here.” There is a pained sincerity in the
tone of these avowals—a bitterness of thwarted
good intentions and misapprehended motives,
which I cannot find in my heart either to doubt
or not sympathize with. In spite of all men
tal and bodily peculiarities, there is a grandeur
of desolation in this old man’s life.
JEFF. DAVIS.
Senator Davis is by all odds the most
brilliant conversationalist it has ever been the
vritor’e fortune to encounter. He is wiry,
sharp-visaged, sell possessed, wiui a mw ic;
gentle and modulated, an address very pliablo
and courteous—this great captain of the fire-
eaters can spit fire with as much case and quick
ness os Douglas shows in spitting tobacco juice,
and every epigram from his lips is fatal to the
reputation of a lifetime. Never was the rapier
of polished wit more dazzling or more mortal
in its exercise. Name after name may be
brought up in discussion, and every candidate
for notoriety will stagger back with a silver
Minnie hall lodged in some tender part of his
intestines.
DOUGLAS.
Senator Douglas—all facts, habits, aud ap
pearances to the country notwithstanding—im
pressed me on the whole us the most gigantic
ntellect, next to Webster’s, that your corres
pondent bos at any time been placed in contact
with. A general dwarfing takes place amongst
all surrounding competitors, and the shadow
of the m issive brow stretches far over every
in which the great Democratic rebel up
lifts bis vigorous and shaggy head.
SPEAKER ORU.
Speaker Orr has been lately with you in
New York, but some of your country readers
may not have seen that solid chunk of jollity,
good humor and good living, standing fourteen
inches higher than Douglas, Fallstaffiuu in
configuration, rubicund in feature, merrily
ihilosophical in the twinkle of his two black
leaded eyes—a man to speak well of every
one, and never to scold a human except liis
cook, when a favorite joiut is not done to his
palate—courteous and just in all personal rela
tions with political enemies, but too easily
yielding to the dictates of party power in liis
official acts.
BllECKIXRIDGE.
About forty years of age, aud in the neigh
borhood of six feet high, well-proportioned,
dark-haired, dark-eyed—with billious com
plexion, aud a closely-shaved face—his mouth
is indicative of a firm, deliberative will and his
head of well balanced thoughtfulness.
CRITTEMDEX.
Senator Crittenden is not a handsome man,
not bv any means; and if gifted in any re
markable degree by nature, as we have no rea
son to donbt, that capricious goddess has taken
special pains to conceal her jewels in his head.
IBs forehead, almost hidden under a shock of
silver hair, is both small and narrow, the check
bones are very prominent, the mouth large
and irregular, the nose without definite shape,
and the whole expression intensely Celtic.
TOUCEV.
Secretary Toucey, of the Navy, has a very
triking appearance, and a powerful phrenol
ogical development. His forehead, half-con
cealed under thin, brown and gray curls, is
massive and prominent; the eves beneath it
dark and somewhat wild looking; the cheeks
thin and shallow, speaking of midnight vigils
at the desk; his figure is erect and tall; his
dress extremely careless and a big buff ker
chief, which he persists in wearing ronnd his
neck at night, is supposed in popular conjecture
to be a revolutionary relic—probably patched
togetherfrom the buff breeches and vest of some
ancestors who fell in one of the battles with the
Pottawotomies.
A Showman “Sold.”
Showmen as a general rule, are tolerably
“sharp,” and it is no easy matter to overreach
them but wheu they are fooled, it is a matter
of great amusement to those present. I was a
witness to one of the best “sells” of the kind I
ever heard of. Last summer there was an ex
hibition in a tent, ou one of our public lots—a
sort of menagerie on a small scale. Before the
entrance to the tent, the proprietor was boast
ing of the innumerable wonders to be seen for a
shilling to a considerable crowd. While in
the midst of a speech overflowing with large
words, ho was somewhat summarily interrup
ted by the following exclamation from a man
near him, who had a bo v with him:
•I’ll bet you a ‘five’ that you cannot let me
see that lion!”
Done,” said the showman, eagerly. “Put
up your money.”
The man placed a five-dollar bill in the
hand of a by stander and tho showman, count
ing out the change, did the same.
“Now walk this way,” said the showman ;
and I’ll convince you!”
The man and his little boy followed him in-
the tent, the whole crowd following.
“There;’’ said the showman, triumphantly.
Look in the corner, at that beautiful Numidi-
an lion!”
‘Where, asked tho man looking in every
direction but the right one.
‘Why there!” was the astonished reply.
I don’t see any,” replied tne other.
What’s the matter with you?’’ asked the
showman, who began to smell a very large
mice.”
That showman was very industriously em
ployed in turning out the’ crowd, for tho next
few minutes, while the blind man pocketed the
stakes, and went his way.
Begin life with bnt little show; you may in
crease it afterward.
There are two sorts of police—the dctcctivo
and defective.
