Lilly, although her devoted heart it filled to overflowing with a full tide of love, would sooner be burnt at the stake, than suffer a look or action to betray tbe secret of her iiuost soul. Up to the present evening th's hidden but deli cious passion was happiness to her—a solace, and a comfort. But why this sudden change f Can that joyous bright eyed girl, now Imiigiug on his arm, have any share in it! Evidently yes; for tbe uearer her laughing face approaches his, tho larger distended poor Lilly’s anxious eyes. The smile seems to wisher on her lips; and jealousy, the invariable shadow which doth wait on love— the stronger, still the blncker, even as tbe brightest sun-light casts the darkest shade—-jealousy over take* her bosom’s load; she is wretched. In vain she asks her heart what right it has to blnme her loved one. Shn feels that she has been slighted: he ought to have kuown that she loved him. She’d j give the bekt years of her life to speak the think- ' mg oi her troubled mind, and then would come the gleam of hope. Perhaps he does net cere lor her,—he may be only flirting. Oh! how often the “I will, dear Mog,’^ sadly replied Lilly, “be cause I know he doesn’t, he won’t, and you can’t make him love me," How ing baxhfnlnesa. Terence was that very moment pnzzling his brain to account for Lilly’* absence. lie saw her leave the room: witnessed her evident agitation— for.which unobserved by her there wns not a look ornction which escaped him. He loved her with a deep and true affection ; bat, restrained by doubt and retiring modesty, wild horses could not have torn the 6ecret from bis breast. Bat how Lilly resigns herself to the guidance of Mag. And how did then aett I'll tell yon. Bounding into the large room, where the com pany were in the height of their eujoymi-nt. with their faces beaming withjoy—ouerealf the other well simulated—Lilly’s glance fell npou Terence. It was to him as though the lightning lmd flashed before his eyes. Having marked her sorrow, as she departed, he was not prepared for this ex treme change. What did it mean 7 With t, heavy heart he tnmed nwny. -Lilly saw the change in his countenance, hut to her it seemed to be anger nothing mose. AbJ unskilful physiognomist. Now tbe indispensable games of the evefiihg have commenced, and Mag’s plot begins to devel op itself. First came a group busy pouring melted lead through a key into a basin of water. Several had essayed, and the curious formations consequent- upon tbe immersion of the boili'ug lend had receiv ed allsorts of designations, when Mag told Lilly to try. She did so. The lump was examined.— Mae. claping her hands, cried out: - Oh! lucky Lilly—twin hearts, as I’m alive, join ed to each other, and n church steeple over them liotb. You'll be married afore tbe year’s out: see if you don’t." Of course tbe mass resembled anythin- in the world the describer chose to assert. Suffice it to sav that this was received as gospel—for Lilly was a favorite. Mag then cried out carelessly: ••Here, Terrence, what do you stand, mum- chance, there for: why don’t you try your luck?” Where’s the use, Mag. darling! It’sr ceffiu, or something of the kind. I’ll he getting." Never mind, take an offer at it.” Well, here'goes,” said Terence. Well, to be sure.” cried Mng, as she lifted the lend from the water, “that’s curious enough: here’s wedding ring—and u letter L—as plain as the- very alphabet.” Lilly’s heart sank, fathoms deep: lint, schooled by Mag. she kept n brave face. But poor Ter- ence, he literally blazed all over, like a fur nace. , ‘A wedding and an L.” sagely remarked Mag. •‘Who can it be?” Nobody could guess. Terence was sure he hadn’t the least idea—tbe lying varlet.

Through exultation aud depression, victory aud defeat, sun shine and storm, Harry has ever been present, and faithful to execute the mandate of his master.

Ho replied that he wns thinking what lonls these yellow men were for fighting white folks. But it was reserved for Harry to il lustrate the amials of his race at the stormiug of Monterey, for it vvill.be recollected that General Quitman had tbe charge of the brave Mississip- plans and Tennesseans, aud was in the hottest aud thickest of the fight, having several horses shot from under him, the places of which were imme diately supplied by Harry,, although be .bad to make bis way to his muster through grape and. canister.

The result of their conversation you shull know by and by. Iu the meantime, let us take a stroll through tbe 'variegated groups around. Wbo is this pompous- voiced nud imposing-mannered little chuuk of 11 tnau? That is Docthor Macgillicinldy. ‘‘Philo- Qiaflier,” as he is pleased to Jiguify himself. He is illuminating the minds of bis gasping auditory by the brightness of his intellectual touch. Let u* listeu to him; but first I must tell you what his so cial position is. Hu is the principal of n renown ed “hedge” school in tho neighborhood; that same heiug neither more nor less thsu 0 congrega tion of scantily costumed juveniles rouged along the shady side of a ditch, where above Darned “masther ov arts” inducts them into tho mysteries of reading, writing, cyphering, the dead languages, joggariffies. aud polite literature. In point ol tact, onr open-nit school is but a reflex of tbe Greciau academy; for although history and poetry, with the aid of some responsible names, have shed a «>rt of adventitious halo over the antique, just as “ bill* are seeu s great way off,” 1 have no doubt, if we could get at tbe truth ot the matter, but that it was just about as rode aud uncomfortable. At all bveuts, there they sit, those ragged urchins, iu every vicissitude of weather, some with difficulty scrambling over tbe threshold of knowledge, some laborioiuly “digging” for a Greek root. Aud how is he recompensed—tlie sometimes ripe scholar: iu all cases, the single-minded in structor, tbe poor patient old man ? Bye few sods of turf,to bring him insufficient warmth, when, al ter his day’s labor, ho creeeps into bis miserable lodging. And yet I have heard people eay that tho Irish are an indolent race.

Then followed the indispensable patriotic songs, rustic reminiscences of tho various outbreaks:— "Tbe Slashiu’ Blade,” "Simmy O’Brieu.” “Erin the Green,” &c., Sac., each shonted with hearted euergy by every voice. While tbe men are thns engaged, and tbe female portion of tbe compnuy are preparing tbe material for the approaching games, let us see how Mag and Lilly ure getting along. Iu order to do that, yon must step into the little apartment occupied by the sisters. Softly ! don’t run Ito a noise: there they ore !— Now isn’t that n picture ? Lilly is nestled in the arms of her sister; her beautiful bright golden hair fallen in a perfect flood upon her fair shoulders; their hands are clasped one in the other, aud they are both in tears; one from her first nud sharpest grief, and tbe other, from sacred sympathy; yet is she relieved, her love is spoken, and the intense oppression of the secret load in part removed.— Mar. blessings of her true tact nnd feeling, has soothed her with words of comfort and of hope: nnd those mingled tears, watering the evergreen plant of their sisterly affection, knit the still more closely to each other’s heart. Now Msg sttlrts joyously np, and clapping her bauds, exclaims: “Lilly darling. I have it! n shade •of sorrow in your eye would hide tbe sunshine from my heart! to no notice of anything; mingle with tho crowd : only appear to bo happy and careless for this night, and I’ll ensure you the reali ty to-morrow.” Lilly looked up with tsar bedewed eyes into the sparkling face of her sister, but Said nothing 0ihins: tin A Warning to Wives.—We were much amused by a little incident which occurred within our remembrance at a tavern not far (hun this city.—■ It will serve as a warning to wives, teruagautouea a’. least, aud for the benefit of such we will relate it. A hard customer, w hom we will call for the nonce Billy Watson, was (ond of going to the tav ern before mentioned and indulging in a 'cup of sick.’ or>ulier refreshment of the kind, aud one night in particular, while imbibing tbe beverage, m walked Ins lady, mid iu no uiild lone of voice requested his company home, y? the same time i-eui.-irkiiig she was >111 abused nud missuseii wife.— Old Billey denied tbe fact of her being bis spouse with much apparent wrath and considerable em- plmsis.
