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 the cape was not suitable for yofl.’ 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 sing in serge and hair-cloth. My soul is sick 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!

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 £ self the admiring and envying eyes of all the sssaftaraatsaf 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 lard’s companion whispered to him, « *" e passed, “Ifl had seen that cape yesterday, perhaps I should not have been so lenient to STS* when ho came to beg a further ex tension of our firm.

Are you not impmdent, dear Juba - 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 iting it I inherited orphanage and sorrow! 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 yond it!” “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 shoulder. “But I am so glad to find the ow ner ! And it will be well for me to see you 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 ad stood before 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 He saw tobacco eight feet high, each plant having thirty-six leaves. The leaves were eighteen inches long by six or eight broad.

Paraguay Difficulty Adjusted. The New York Herald of the Oth instant publishes advices from Montevideo to the 10th if February, announcing the peaceful adjust ment of ou/difficulties with Paraguay.

A Washington correspondent of the New _ rrespoi York Times, draws for tLe paper, the follow ing sketches of prominent men at the Capitol. The democratic readers will bear in mind that they arc the productions of an unfriendly hand: 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.” Nicely Danglii.

Stepping up to one of the clerks: “Sir!

Would you like to sell at the price named in the bill ? Mr. T.—No, sir! I—I think I would not sell for that. Citric—Will you sell if I add twenty-five hundred dollars to it ? Mr. T.—(indignant.)

The roar which succeeded may be imagined; Mr. T., making a bee-line for the door, was angry, and by-standers were much amused A Funny Incident. The appended negro story, copied from a Southern correspondent of a. Boston paper, is not bad. General C—gave his black man Taw- ncy, funds and permission to get a quarter’s worth of zoology at a menagerie, at the same time iiinting to him the striking affinity between Simia and the negro races. Our sable friend soon found hhnselt under live canvas, and brought to in front of a sedate looking baboon, and eye ing the bibo-quadruped closely,_ solihquiuod thus : “Folks, sure’* you’re horn : feet, hands; proper bad looking countenance, just the nigger getting old, I reckon.” Then as if seized with a bright idea, he extended his hand, with a gen uine Southern “how d’ye do uncle.” The ape 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. F a IS Ml a Kl@ IMPLEMENTS.
