One day, l “'ill not say iiow mtny years ago, for 1 intend to be very mys terious f>r a time with my read, rs—a young w ottx in stepped Iront a courtirt wagon wnioh i>u 1 just arrived at the yard irate of the famous Chelsea Inn, the Goal and Compasses, a name formed by corrupting tin; pious original, “God encompassed!) us. - ’ ihe young woman seemed about the age of eighteen, and was decently dressed, though in tliu ; plainest rustic lashion oi the times.— She was well formed and well looking, boili form and look giving indications of the ruddy health consequent upon exposure to sun and air in tin; country. After stepping from the wagon, which j the driver immediately led into u court yard, the girl stopped tin a moment in npparent uncertainly whither to go. when tin! mistress ol tiio inn, who had come to the dour, observed her hesita tion, and asked her to enter and take rest. Tire young woman readily o beyed the invitation, arid soon, by the kindness of the landlady, found her self by the fireside of a nicely sanded parlor, wherewithal to refresh hersoii after u long and tedious journey. “And so, my poor girl,'’ said i ! >.; landlady, after having, in return for her khidiiess, the whole particulars of in young woman’s situation and history, “so thou hast come all this way to s ek service; and lust thou no fi'emii but John Hodge, tilt! w ugouel’ ! I’ruc, lie is iiivc lo give they hut small ledp U- getting a plii'oe.” ‘ - ls service then, difficult to_ bo had.' > asked the young woman, sadly. “Ah, n, rrv, good situation - at leu-’, are haid to find. But.you nave a good heart, child,” said the landlady, and ■< she cotiiinued, she looked around with U: air of pride uikl dignity; “thou sc- -t “Hat [ have come to myself ; 1 left tin country a young thing like thyself, “ith a; little 10 e.. ; to. But ’tis’nt ev- Pr > 4me f ■ a certain, that must look Dr sued) a : ail?, and in any case it must be wrought for. I allowed myself •* oood servant, before my poor old Jacob, Heaven resi his snnl, made me mistress id the Goat and Compasses. So mill I 1 thee, girl—” ‘Pile landlady’s speech might have gone on a long way ; for the dame loved well the sound of her own tongue, hut for the interruption occasioned by llie entrance of a gentleman, when the landlady rose and welcomed him hear tily. “Ah, dame, ’ said the new comer, who was a stout, respectably attired person of middle age, “how sells the good ale? Scarcely a drop left in the cellar, i hope ?” “Enough left to give your worship a draught alter your long walk,” and she rose to fulfil the promise implied jv her words. “I walked e t,’ was the gentleman's reply, “but took a pair of oars, dame, down tin- river. Thou knowest 1 al ways c unc to Clu Icea myself to see it thou Idckest any thing.” “Ah, sir,” replied the landlady, “and it is by tint, way of doing business that you made yourself, as all the city says, the richest mart in the Brewer’.- Corporation, if n it in all London i’.sdf.’ “Wi 11, and une, the better for me if it he so,” said the brewer with a smile ; “buts t us have the mug, and thi quite pretty friend of thine shall pleas ure us, mayhap, hy tasting with us.” Tiie landlady was not long in procu ring a stoop of ale, knowing that her visitor never set ail example hurtful to his own interests by countenancing the consumption of foreign spirits. “Right, hostess,” said the brewer, when he had lasted it, “well made and well kept, und that is giving both thee and me our dues. Now, pretty one,” said he, liding one of the measures or glasses which had been placed beside tiie stoop, “will thou drink this to thy sweetheart’s health ?” Tbe poor country girl to whom this was addressed declined the proffered civility, and with a blush, hut the land lady t xoliiimi.d, -‘Come, silly wench, drink Ids worship’s health ; he is more likely to gel then a service, if it so please him. t .an John Hodge, the wag oner.” “This giil has come many a mile,’’ continued the hoslisq “to seek a place in town, that she m .y bj a ht rJeu her family no more I home.” “To leek service!” exclaimed the ‘■ brevvi r; “why then, perhaps, it is well j met with us. lias *he brought a clmr i acter with Iter, or can you speak far | her. dame ?” •■Sue has never y el ho -n from home,, ■.ir, hut her face is her character,” said j ihu kind-heart, and lady; >TII warrant •-lie will he diligent and trusty.” “Upon my prophecy, hostess, I will I take In r into my service ; for hut yes- j terday my house-keeper was Complai i ing ol the wanted help, since this depti-1 tysliip hrougiit mo more in the way of j enteriaiuing the people ofiliu ward.” Ere the wealthy brewer and deputy let! the Goal and Compasses, arrange-! menls were made for sending the ccun- Iry girl to his house, in the city on the : f llovvdug day. Proud of having done, a good action, the garrulous hostess’ toor. advantage of the circumstance, to! deliver an immensely long harangue to I the young woman on her new duties, j and on toe dangers to which youth is ‘ exposed in large oils s. Tiie girl heard her benefactress with modest thankful-j ness, but a more minute observer than j : the good landlaby might have seen in | ilie eye and countenance of the girl a; quiet firmness of expression, such as inignt have induced the cutting short ol tbe lecture. However, the. landlady's! lecture bad an end and towards the, ; evening of tiieday following her arrival ! at the Goat and Compasses, the youth ful rustic found herself installed as hbu'semaid in the dwelling of the rich Ore tvor. The fortunes of this gill it isour pur pose to follow. Tbe. lihit change which look place in her condition subsequent to that related, was her elevation to tlie vacated post of house-keeper in the brewer’s family. In this situation she was bn ng t more than tkrui'-ily in con tael with tier master, wiio found ample: means of admiring her propriety ol c n .ucf, rs well as her skillful econo my and management. By degress he beann lo find tier presence necessary to his happiness, and being a man ol bah honorable and independent mind, lie at |,.le-ih ollertd her bis band, it was accepted, and she who hut fburorfive years before hid her country home baieldoted, became the wife of one of mi-, richest ci:i/.ms ■<t London. i'Y,r many years Mr. Aylesbury, f r suc.h was the riairie of the brewer, uni his wile lived in happiness arid comfort together. He was a man of good fami ly and connections, and consequently of iiiolier breeding than his Wife could boast, hut on no occasion had he to blush (bribe partner he had chosen. Her calm i:icorn strength, if not digni'y of 1 character, conjoined with an extreme quickii vs of perception, made her fill her place ul her husband's table with a., much ’Vac •an i ere lit as it -o had PENFiELD, (A. MARCH 5, 1853. been born to the station. And, as the ; lime ran on, the respectability oi Mr. j Aylesbury’s position received a gradu-- nl increase. He became an alderman,! and subsequently a sheriff of the city, | and in consequence of the latter eleva ’ tion, was knighted. Afterwards, and j now pan of the mystery projected at the commencement of this story must be broken in upon, as far as time is con-1 corned —afterwards tlie important place which the brewer held in the city called upon him the attention and lavor, ; of the King, Charles the First, then an.\ imis to conciliate the good will ol the! citizens, ami the knight rect ived lhe| tui tlier honor of b irouetcy. Lady Aylesbury in the first year of j married life gave birth to a daughter,: who proved to ho an only child, and . around whom as was natural, all the hopes and wishes of the parents en twined the i use Ivi s, This daughter had j (ini v i “ mle and the age o! seventeoii wV.cn , h"i iiiher died h aving an immense lorlune Dehiii,l imn. It was first t enig ,t tie: .vi . . -tad ;mr daughter would b <o <; inheritors of this 1 with n -> 1 pale. But it pi -v ! . .t. Crii.ii.dativesj (and ine . . s.-t up a plea upon laun sit i ol a will made in wcarne m irr.■ U- ,sa o r woutctl firmness. La iy Ay t>s . : mnf ii.c-dy took ‘ steps I >r he vn riicalioit ot her own and j her light ,r‘- . . A young law- ! yer, vv no hid b en a fii-quent guest at tier husband's table, and of vv hose tibili ;ty she had tm med h high opinion, sh ■ had fixed up hi us a legal ass rter of her : cause. Edward llyde “as indeed a youth of great ability. Though only j twenty-four years of ago at the period referred to, and though lie had spent j much oftiis youthful time in the society lot the gay and the fashionable of the ; day, he had not neglected the pursuits to which his family’s wish its well as his own tastes had devoted. 15ut it was with considerable hesitation, and a feel ing ol anxious dididence that he con sented to undertake the charge of Lady Aylesbury’s case, for certain strong ■ though unseen and unacknowledged ! sensations, were at work in his bosom, : to make him fearful of the responsibili i ty amt anxious about the result. The young lawyer, however, became j counsel for the brewer’s widow and ! daughter, and by a striking exertion of j eloquence, and d'Sjdav of legal ability, I gained the .-nit. Two (lavs after Hie i successful pleader was seated beside : his :wo clients. Lady Aylesbury’s usual manner was quiet and composed, hut she now spoke war nly ot her gratitude to the preserv !er of her daughter from want, and also lend’ ted it fee —a payment magnificent , indeed tor the occasion. The young 1 barrister did not s**em at ease during Lady Aylesbury’s expies.-bon of her j feelings, lie shifted upon his chair, changed color, looked at Miss Ayles ; bury, played with the purse before him, tried in speak, but stopped short, arid ; changed culm's again. Thinking only jof best expi easing her gratitude, Lady i Aylesbury appeared not to notice her 1 visitor’s Contusion, hut arose saying, “In token that I hold your services | above compensation in the way of mou ley, ! wish also to give you a memorial !of my gratitude in another shape.” As -she spoke thus she drew a hunch of : keys from her pocket, which every lady I carried in those days, and left the room. W hut passed during her absence be ; tween the: parties whom she left togeth er will b ■ best known by the result.— 1 | When Lady Aylcsbuey returned, she • .found her daughter standing with aver. , ten eyes, hut her bund within that of ! Edward llyde, who knelt on the moth-; : er’s entrance and besought her consent! Mo their union. Explanations of the feeling which the parties entertained; tor each other, ensued, and Lady Ay- j lesbury was not long in giving the de-1 sired consent. “Give me leave, how. , ever,” said she to the lover, “10 place! around your neck the inoinorial which l intended for you. This chain”—n was a superb gold ono—“was a token! of gratitude from the ward in which he lived to rny <L ar husband.” I, iiy Ay lesbury ’s calm, serious eyes were filled with t urs, as s. e threw the chain! around TJ ward's neck, saying, “these! links were borne on the neck of the worthy and lionori and man. May thou,’ my son, attain 1 1 still higft honors.” I lie wish was fulfilled, though not 1 ! till danger and siifieriug liad tried sc ver dy tli ‘ parties concern’ and. The son-in-law of L dy Aylesbury become l an eminent menile r of the Kuglish bar, 1 an t a iso an i nportuht speaker in th • Parliament. Wiif.-n Oliver Cromwell hrougiit tiin king to the scullbid, and’ establish’ u the common wealth, .Sir Jvi ward Jiv'd'! tor lie held a government post, amt had been knighted—was too 1 prominent a menibfci of the royalist par ty to escape tiie enmity of the new ru lers, arid was obliged to reside upon the continent till the restoration. When abroad, lie was so much e.tcem and bv the exiled prince (afterwards Cmiiies II ).ns to be appoint? I Lord High Chun icellorof England, which appointment was coiifirnied wlien tins king was re. stored to his throne. Some years af terwards, Hyde was elevated to the peerage, first in the rank of baron, and subsequently as Earl of Clarendon—a title which he madu famous in English history. These events, so briefly narrated, oc cupied a large space of time, during which Lady Aylesbury passed her days in quiet and retirement. She hud now hart liie gratification of beholding her daughter Countess of Clarendon, and seeing the grand children she had born to her, mingle as equals with the no blest of the land. But a still more ex ited fate awaited the descendants of the poor friendless girl who had come to London in search ol service, in u wagoner’s van. Her grand.daughter, Anna Hyde, a young lady ofapirit, wit an I beauty,* had Ins.u appointed, while her family stayed abroad, one of the maids of honor to the Princess of Ur auge, and in that situation had attrac- ted so strongly the regard of James, Duke of Vork, and brother of Charles 11, that lie contracted u private marri age with her. The birth of a child. j O 1 forced oil a public announcement of I tli is con Iraq:, and ere long the grand. daughter of Lady Aylesbury was open- Ily received as Duchess of York, and ; sister.iii-!:iw of the sovereign. Luly Aylesbury did not long survive tins event. Bui cro she dropped into the giave, at a ripe old age, she saw her descendants heirs presumptive to die British crown. King Charles had married, but bad no legitimate issue, and accordingly his brother’s family had the prospects and rights of succes sion. And, in reality two immediate descendants of the barefooted country girl did liil the throne—Mary (wife ol William 111.) and tiueen Arm, prin cess, both of illustrious memory. Such was the fortune of the young woman in whom the worthy landlady ■of the Goat and Compasses was fearful I of encouraging too rash a hope by ref erence to the lofty position which it hud been her own late to attain in life. In ! one assertion at least, the hostess was undoubtedly right, that success in life must he labored tor in some way or oili er. Without tlie prudence and pro priety of conduct which won the love and esteem ot the brewer, t"e sequel to the country girl’s history could not have been such as it is. The Stiver Coinage. Tiio House of Representatives, on Monday, passed the bill, which passed the Senate at I lie last session, amenda tory of tho existing laws regulating the j coinage of half dollar, quarter dollar, ! dime and half dime, ami providing for : the coinage of three dollar gold pieces. Tlie Li 11 received no amendment in the House, and therefore requires only tbe j signature of the President to become a ; law. As tbe subject possesses general interest, we insert the provisions of the i bill at length, as follows: Eiic. 1. That from and after the first diy ol June, eighteen hundred and lit'- ty-three, the weight of the half dollar piece of fifty cents, shall be one hun dred and ninety-two grains, and the quarter dollar, dime and halt dune, shall be respectively, one-half, one-fifth and one-tenth of the weight of said half dollar.

The money arising from the charge of one-half per cent, shall be charged to the Treasuers of the mint, and from time to time, on warrant of the Director of the mint, shall bo trails (erred into the Treasury of the United I States ; Provided, however, that noth ing contained in this section shall be considered as applying to the half dol lar, the quarter dollar, the dime, and i the half dime.

In accordance to u previous call, a large and respectable portion of the chi ’ zensof every section of Harris County, I met to day at tho Haptisl Church, to take into consideration the object of the !

James G. Cotton, and its | objects briefly stated by the chair in a | very solemn and appropriate manner. The Rev. W. D.

When lie closed, James N. I Ramsey Esq. was called for, who very : cheerfully responded in one of his most i able and happy efforts, his arguments \ were conclusive and irresistable, fully answering ull the objections—ofcousti | tutional iiuihblers upon the right of Un people to regulate the trullic in ardent j spirits, presenting strong an.l forcible : reasons why all good men should unite : together in arresting an evil—which bus been u curse to our people, anil ! brought a blight and mildew into ul- ! most everv family. Ilis snoccli was, ’ followed by loud and continued cheer- ’ ing. And when it ceased, upon mo. j tioii of Mr. Ramsey, the chair appointed ; : die following gentlemen to present suit able names to the meeting us delegates 1 to the Convention at Atlanta, to wit James N.

While the Committee were out, the Rev. J. Little entertained the audience in liis usual happy style, in vindication of the principles laid down by Messrs. Atkinson and Ramsey, and gave us bis; reasons why be believi and tbe movement must succeed, that marly ull tlm pen- j pie were either tlm patent* of Sons und j Laughters, or member* of the Church of Christ, and lie fid not know how ei ther could d.-libi rutely walk up and vote fie a retail Grocery.
