The Stolen Kia, One fine spring morning, a „ dylsm Was looking down Broadway, in all the glo ry of spotless kinds, lustrous boots, shapely coat, and exqisite beaver—the envy of nil the retail clerks, and the admiration of all the ladies. Rich, elegant and fashionable, Saville Gray was the pet ted child of fortune. Every thing in life had goue right for him—his footsteps had been sur velours; the atmosphere that surrounded him Was eouleur de rose; and, like Sir Charles Sediey, having been sent into th world to do nothing- ho certainly ful filled his destiny. But Seville Grey was suffering from a very plethora of good lock. He had no ex citement ; like the baronet in the play, bo was " a used up man,” and would have given half his for- tuno for a new sensation. He was sauntering leis urely along, touching his hat every five minutes to some dashing belle, yet keeping himself aloof from all; notwithstanding the euticing smiles which beamed upon bim.and wishing he knew what to do with himself, when he was startled from hia indo lence by the most disagreeable incident. An im mense St. Bernard dog. seized with a sudden fit of velocity, sot off at full speed along the crowded thorougnfaro, mid after upsetting sundry triple- stands, destroying the equilibrium of several elder ly ladies, and mnhlng a very stout gentleman per form an astonishing somerset, he ended his pranks by flinging a young lady directly into Saville Grey’s arms. It was a most awkward circum stance. and for tfce life of him, Saville Grey coold not tell by what kind of galvanic power he had found himself compelled to open his arms, at the precise moment, to receive the unexpected harden. The whole affair was over in a moment, hot he had time to see a pair of magnificent eyes, and the freshest and rosiest of mouths in the most danger ous proximity to hia glossy whiskers. How it hap pened bn never exactly kuew, but certain it is, that as be raised the lady to her feet, his face was brought in still closer proximity to hers. It is use less to veil the enormity nnderfine words; Saville Grey was-guilty of an unpardonable act of inso lence—he kissed those fresh lips, and the poor girl, crimsoning with offended mode ,ty. suddenly burst into a flood of tears. A crowd began to gather, and tliongh Saville was satisfied that no one saw the unwarantahle liberty he'had taken,’he felt the awkwardness of his position. He stooped t6 pick up the bonks she hud dropped, nnd then beheld the . b Y, t .* , . e . 8 P en " ,:l ' h * CT ? led **! Dmke her "1 way a ! woman.

A sudden sense of the ridiculous figure he must have cut with a tall school-girl lying in his arms, came to our elegant hero like a qualm. So ns the dog dash ed down a bve-ntreet. and the lady hurried down another, Saville Grey darted into a hack to con ceal his confusion and repair damages. When he found himself in his room, and began to reflect upon the affair, he scarcely knew ivhetb- er to be most provoked or pleased. v He fancied he mnst have looked and acted like a fool—this was no pleasant ide.-; but then that stolen kiss hud certainly given him a new sensation and been like a gentle ripple on the dull stream of daily life, Not that kisses were so rare, for Saville! Grey was not the kind of man who is doomed to pipe hope lessly for ladies* favors. But this was one of those improvisoed im-ideuts which men are apt to re member and dream about. Those targe startled looking eyes nnd rosy lips were pictured before his imagination, and the emotion which had crim soned the girl's sweet face, nnd delnged it with tears, awakened a lively interest in the blaze man of fashion. But where, yon will sav. is all the romance of this I Simply in the fact that it was the beginning of a seven years’ love chnse, as romantic in its character and consequences as anything that ever befell a knight of old. Saville Giey hail been too long a drawing-room pet to have much faith left in woman. The pas sionateness and tenderness imparted by natnre in woman’s heart—the hypocraoy which education engrafts upou her—her streugth to will, and her feebleness to do, from whence she learns the craft which belongs to all the weaker creatures^—make np so incongruous a character, that men are little likely to comprehend it. The lines which divide the trne from the false in woman, are so bidden by worldly devices, that they cannot always distin guish the fictitious from the real in their own sonls; nod it is no wonder, therefore, that men shnnld learn to distrust them ns utterly false, when they are only inwardly impulsive and outwardly fickle. Saville Grey looked npon all women a* agreeable aetressea. possessing different degrees of skill, but all equally bent a|K>n playing a part in society, He bnd had a dozen love affairs, which had ended in breaking hearts for an eternity of six weeks; and he had witnessed so many transfers of precions ^ Just received Ladies’ silk and plain last ing Gaiters, and for sale by dec 12 MIX A KIRTLAND. § A Bargain.

Just received and for file [ by JAMES SEYMOUR affection, that ho looked upon all such commodi ties now as rather unprofitable speculations. Per haps. therefore, one of tbe secrets of his being so much interested in the ynong school girL was to be found in tho nnmistakei.ble sincerity and genuine ness of her emotion. It was impossible to donbt that look aud those tears, and a sort of vagne dream, in which he figured a bright girlish face and a fresh young heart, begau from that day to haunt him. Most men have an ideal—an image of rare and nnattainable excellence and beauty—enshrined in their inmost hearts, which serves as a test artff standard for all external loveliness. Bat Saville Grey bad no such secret idol. Men who have gone through the ordeal of being handsome boys, rarely have, for they are petted by the honse-maids, court ed as sweelbeartshy tho little girls, kissed by their grown np cousins, and in fact, so fondled by all their feminine “eurrounJings,’* that the reelings which usually shape out an ideal in the souls of aly, sensitive, neglected boys, are all pat into daily requisition to respond to the spontaneous homage which is bestowed npon their bright eyes and enr- liug locks. Our hero had never found time to dis cover his need of that spirit-worship, which makes tlie beautiful dream of youth. Everything had been real for him; bis fancies bad always grown out of fact*, and therefore bis heart was like an unfimished temple—the portico was covered with images, bnt the shrines were yet unbuilt, and the idol yet wnnting. The fact was. that Saville Grey had finer ele ments in bis character than had yet beeu develop ed. Born to wealth, ita indulgences had so pam- K red his childhood that hia nobler faculties bad en, at it were, drugged to sleep. He had a fine imagination, which had wasted itself npon whim; great decision which bad never been exercised ex cept in nn obstinate adherence to bis own will; perseverance, which seemed like pertinacity; and a fund of latent tenderness, which only served to give him the fascinating manners essential to a male cnqontte. He was a tolerable painter, a fine musician, nn excellent scholar, and a Well educa ted physician; but he was too rich to practise his profession, too indolent to seek fame as a litteralure. too indifferent to endnie the troublesome eclat of musical celebrity, and too dainty to soil his fingers with an artist’s pallet. He could have been any ifiing he pleased, bat be knew that his wealth was a sufficient passport in society; and while he dis- pised the sordidneas of the world, it yet suited his indolent temper to fell into it* routine of ease aud luxnry. From the time of his rencounter with tho pretty school-girl, however, Savillebegan to walk Broad way with a definite object. He peeped under every close cottage bonnet, bnt his eyes were not greeted with sight of those delicate features — I’erhnps had be met her every day. he would have for he saw Mr. Mrs . a ud Wm Glenwood'a names on the list of passengers. It instantly occurred to him that nothing could b.-, more delightful than a trip to Europe in iucb plmsant company, and when hia friends engaged their accommodations for the voyage, he also added his name to the rest. Ife was in high spirits, with a certain bouyancy k uf feeling tho wide awake sense of enjoyment to which he had long been a stranger. His preparations were soon made, and, on the day appointed, S.ivillo Grey found himself taud- ing on the deck of the noble shin, looking his fare well to the shores of bis native laud. He bad al ready spent two years iu Europe, and therefore had noenriso-.ty to gratify, bnt anticipated tbe pleasure of becoming closely acquainted with Miss Glen wood during the voyage, aud a vague idea of accompanying her on her travels, to watch-the ef fect ot d.e old wfiriil marvels on heryoang heart crossed bis imagination more than once. An at tack of sea sickness soon put an end to bis fancies for the present, and upon his recovery, he watched day after day, ai the passengers, one bv one, made their appearance, for the lady of his dreams. Bnt she did pot appear, and npon inquiry, be learned that tbe sudden and violent illness'of Mr. Glen- wood had compelled them to defer their voyage.— He had tbe satisfaction therefore of believing that the next packet would probably bear Miss Glen- wood to the shores of Europe. Disappointed, provoked at bis own folly, and heartily out of hu mor with himself and everybody else. Saville Grey bad never appeared tp so little advantage as daring that weary voyage. But by the time they reached Havre he was ashamed of bis disagreeahlegess; and as some amends for it, he accepted the invita tion of his New York friends tojoin tlieir travelling party, iu the hopes of forgetting his ridiculous funcy: Among tho persons who composed this party, was a certain lady of fashion, who bad long been desirous of securiug the lion of her coterie. Her opportunities now were not bo neglected, and as suming the belief that be bad accompanied them for her sake, she played her part so adroitly, that Saville Grey, absorbed iu another idea was en tangled before he dreamed of his danger. When a woman has a strong will and no scru ples of conscience, she mny always succeed in her designs. The party lounged away a yvinter in Paris, sauntered a summer along file banks of the Rhine, and when they took .np tbeir abode in Florence for the ensniqg season, Saville Grey found himselfhe could scarce toll bow. the affian ced husband of the skilfol tactiqaD, During all bis jnurueyiu'g he hud seen nothing of the Gleuwoods, but on t’ v,irrigation of those mysterious oeraous disease; which aro always so'baffliug to the plivsician’s skill, aud, under the guidance of some of tho most distinguished surgeons, I studied closely this pccu- )ar class of ailments. There are- remedies—pow erful aud dangerous remedies it is troe—which are always successf 1 in these ca^cs if properly ap plied. Introduce me as a consulting physician, and with your assistance and bliss Glcmvooii’a permission I will venturetonse these agents.” Doctor H still hesitated, but the earnest ness of Saville Grey’s tcanser, the glows of enthusi asm " hich seemed to prevado his whole frame, and the warm interest he showed in a ca-e which had excited the Doctor’s kindliest sympathies, quered his Sf in pies. He consented to ai con- alt bis vonng friend's wishes, aud Saville Grey soon found himself standing in tho vine-covered porch await ing permission to he condncted to the fair patient. Never had his hear’;, tjml'* 1 -> • I Kin the vqry d«y after he had engaged himself to his travelling companion, be encountered Miss Glen wood. She had stopped to purchase a bou quet from a flower-girl and as Saville afterwards learned; she was just leaving Florence, after a so- jftiirn of several weeks. This accidental meeting stirred all the smouldering ashes of his half-ex tinct passion. Iadeed.'the extraordinary manner in which this fancy had haunted him for more than two years could scarcely be explained hj; any reasoning or by any theory of sentiment. Tbe more be tried to banish it, the more determinedly did it return to him, antil that, which under dif ferent circumstances would have been a passing w i m now becamea fx-ii idea. But he was now betrothed to one wb m the world deemed hi< equt.1 in all things; and be resolutely endeavored to banish tbe vagne dreams which were now acts of disloyalty to uue whom he believed devoted to him. Three years passed away, and then SavilleGrey returned to his native land, alone—free iu heart aud hand. His engagement had been deferred, from time to time, by tbe whim of the lady, aud was finally broken off by both, in the most amica ble manner possible. The lady married a french baron, and Saville officiated as groomsman on the happy occasion; presentingtbe bride, as neadean de noces, with the diamonds be had designed to offer as bis nuptial gift. Never hud he been so heartily disgusted with tbe world, yet never had he felt such a joyous sense of freedom as when he landed in America alone. He determined to keep hitnseif unshackled as loug as possible, and the whim of playing hermit for a while came into his head. Fart of his large estates lay on Long Island, and was c ivided into farms which were managed lor him by Dr. R-r—.the physician bfrthe neighbor ing village.wbo had been bis guardian and trustee ofhis fortune. On one part of bis fortune, On one putt of bis domain, in a most romantic aud sequestered spot, Saville Grey, in a freak of ar chitectural taste, had built one of the loveliest and most pictnresqne of cottages Situated on 8 green knoll, which was almost cut into au island by the windings of a spaikliug brook; overshadowed by superb old trees of primeval growth; covered with flowering vines which almost concealed tho lat ticed windows; aud maxing, altogether, the piot- tiost of rural pic tin*, this cottage hade'iaie 1 the fate of must of Suviite’s hob bies. It had been his pet, his delight while building; nothing could ex ceed tbe interests be took in its construction and adornment, bnt no sooner was it completed than ho left it iu charge of tjta good Doctor, begging him to keep it m order uutil some future time when lie might wish to occupy it. In bis present frame of mind he thought of this quiet retreat *s exactly the refuge required by bis weary spirit, and he determined to take immediate possession of the cottage. Ciueringhis tilbury, fie drove ont to see Dr.—- R > end informed him of fris intention- .‘‘I am sorry to disappoint you, my dear sir,” said the Doctor, “but the cottage is rented.’’ “To whom—pray! how long si uce 7” were his impatient questions “Deu’tyou remember my (writing to you, when yon were iu Europe for pertuissiou to let it, as it was getting out of repair I” “I have a vague recollectiou now abont some thing of the kind, but l had on idea then of need ing it. Who are the tenants 7” “A widow and har invalid daughter,'” ‘•Can’t you persuade her to give it up f” “Perhaps so—she is rather in straitened circum stances and ”— “Oh j nevermind expense; I am ready to pay forany whistle, only buy her off, aqd let me hnV6 the house.” ’’Will you drive round with me and see her for yonrself.” "Perhaps that will settle the matter best, so let n* go at once.” The gentlemen drove off together, aud on the road the Doctor rather tried to dissuade Saville Grey from his new design; he suggested the lone liness of snch a life, and venretired to hint at lodg ings as preferable. But he bad to deal with one whose wishes became necessities wbeu thwarted, and he soon desisted from further counsels. “What kind of a woman is this widow I will it led with such wild emotion as when he found finn-lfin the presenco of the object lie had s i ’mug sought io Tain. Re clining on a low- couch, clad in a loose robe of white muslin, with ber long bright curis falling npon her shoulders, and her hand", like caryed ivory, so white and bloodless, folded belplesly to gether, lay tho long-sought Lilian Glen wood.— Her cheek had lost something of its roominess aud all its bloom, bnt her mouth—that tempting month — was still as fresh and rosy as ever. Mustering his emotion, he approached with as much profes sional gravity as he coold assume, and taking oi e of those fair, lifeless hands, begno to court ita pul ses, while hi* own throbbed as if fever was burning iu every vain. It would make too long a story if I were to re- late all the details of tbe next twelve months-^— Saville Grey took lodgings with the good Doctor R-—notwithstanding the Doctor’s fat frowsy wifo and six rosy children. He became a daily visitant, with the Doctor, upon hia interesting pa tient, and, after winning Miss Glenwood’s confi dence, he proposed those tenative remedies which he had seen used with successabroad. Ho frankly stated their dangers and the risk attending tjietr use, leaving her to decide whether she would in cur that risk for the chances of entiie recovery.— In a moment so trying to the feelings of all parties, the barriers of restraint were broken down; and Lilian ottered the language of her long silent heart, when she declared that early death was to her far preferable to the living death which she wa» now enduring. Touched to the very soul by her emotion, Saville Grey poured forth *11 tho hoarded tenderness of his being in that one hoar of wild excitement. When lie left the cottage Lilian Glenwood was his betrothed wife—pledged to become biseven if he should not succeed in ip- storing her to he-eh—for on snch terms only would he receive her plighted faith. Who cnnld have believed that the patient, watchful, studious, self- devoted physician who controlling every tp° !lon . now sat hour after hoar tracing the gradual effect of certain medicines upon thu delicate frame of that vound girl was the same Saville Grey who bud lived only for himself, and penned of life's pleasures in the midst of satiety and luxury? Weeks and mouths passed away. He had learn ed to live in another’s life; to forget himself in his devotion to another’s comfort; to sacrifice not only bis tastes, but, more difficult task still, his habits for the sake of another. Selfishness was driven out of him, like an evil spirit f patience and humil ity-—a deep seuse of reliance upon u higher power thaj mere human intellect—a seuse of responsibili ty which taught him reverence and religion—these were the good spirits that came to dwell in his nntenauted heart, As suou as Lilian could walk without assistance, and place her own baud in the clasp of Sivilfo Grey’s, she consented to become bis wife. They were married privately and quietly in 'ho little parlor pf the vine-covered cottage, and Ifio next week they sailed for Italy, iu whose genial climate Mrs. Grey entirely recovered her health. It was □ot until SuviiJe had imprinted his first kiss on the lips of his infant daughter, that he ventured to re mind Lilian of her yireet adventure, and to avow himself the offender iu the we,T-remembeteU inci dent of her school days. '‘Desperate diseases require desperate remedies,” and nothing but Sayille Grey’s utter abandonment to tbe rule of Conventionalism, could excuse Ro mance for employing so very indecorous a means of rescuing him from the castle of Indolence.

To me, for example, sitting on the critical front bench oi the pit, in mystedy hero in JasJam, the advent of my weekly journal is as that of a strolling thoatre, or rather of a puppet show, on whose stage, nor row as it is, tho tragedy, comedy, and farce of life arc played in little.

Once she looked out oponliim from the window of acarriage, but he caught only a momentary glance. A few weeks afterwards she was coming out of a fancy bazaar, just ns he was escorting some ladies in. At An other time he caught a distant view of her in a gal lery ofpictares, bnt before be conld disengage himself from bis party, the was gone. In this manner fur more than a year, lie obtained tantali zing glimpse* of ber from time to time, but al ways under circumstances tint prevented him ascertaining who she was.. He saw that she was very young, not more than fifteen probably, with a profusion of glossy golden curls; but this only excited hie interest still more to learn something pf her history.
