ly had made preparations for removal. It
was now the evening Of the morning Of the
day Of sale. All had, apparently, gone as
Tyler and Grandson wished--the wonder
had ceased TO be q wonder---one individual
only had expressed desire to see the pre-
mses, and he, through the representations
of Tyler, had resolved not to bid against the
friend Of the family. In consequence Of
these auspicious symptoms, these worthy
friends were in high good humor. Old Ty-
Ter chuckled and rubbed his hands with de-,
light--in the fullness Of his Joy he conldr
not contain himself--he bursted with the
secret--he, in the closest confidence, i'm.
parted to his wife and daughters the glad
tidings that he was about to become the
purchaser Of the far famed White Cottage
at great deal less than its value. This
unexpected news was tall feather in the
caps Of the ladies.
"What man our father is !" said his
eldest daughter to her mother" only
think Of his becoming SO easily the pur-
chaser OF that beautiful place. O, he
ought to be President Of the United States,
don't you think SO, mother"
"Certainly, child-he would make
very good one--but what will Mrs. For
ceps say to this-won't she be ready to die .
with envy. ] have notion to go and tell
her. should like to enjoy her spleen"
"Do, mother--I will go with your 1t
can't do any harm, and should like to be
the first to tell them Of it."
Bring my bonnet and shawl, and get
yourself ready | will go and tell them"
!" "That's good mother. Mother, who
ought we to visit now? am determined
to cut Jane H., that am. Her family
to think Of comparing with ours! Not
now, indeed. Mother, don't you think
father will go to Congress How much
does it cost to 60 there ] think he might
afford it now. should SO like to spend
winter at Congress"
I" don't know, child-a great deal of
money. dare say there are plenty there
who are not so rich as your father"
Leaving these worthy ladies to enjoy the
triumph of imparting the knowledge of
their increased wealth to their envious
neighbor, we will take peep at our friend,
the stranger-the Son Of Temperance.

TIL E W HITE GOTTA G E.
A TEMPERANCE STORY.
BY RE VERA.

The dreadful temptation to which Ben
son had been subjected, his escape, and
treatment of Grandson, in. the presence Of
his debauched associates, and the conse-
quences which he we'll knew, would result
from that treatment-had partially unhin-
ged his mind. He was suffering from de.
bility, caused by a long course of intempe.
rance. His physical strength was prostra
ted, and the excitement of the last few days
had tended to increase the debility under
which he was laboring. Under these cir
cumstances, it is indeed surprising that he
escaped the snare which had been set to en-
trap him. No power save that of Omnipo-
tence could, under the circumstances, have
preserved him, and brought him uncontam-
mated, out of the presence of his tempter,
and from the midst of his enemies. But, he
was saved. He, who watches over the des-
tiny of the sparrow, will not forsake, in their
extremity, those who manfully struggle
against temptation, and endeavor to con-
quer their evil propensities and unholy de-
sres. We have beheld the triumph of the
tempted-let us now see how the tempter
bears his disappointment.
Grandson, as was to have been expect
ed, vowed revenge for the insult which he
had received. He swore that he would take
ample satsfaction-that he would include
the whole family of Benson in his revenge
that he would pursue him to his grave.
He Immediately demanded payment Of the
money due him, and proceeded, in due
course, benson not being able TO comply
to advertise the White Cottage for sale. He
had consultation with Tyler, and it was
arranged between them, that Tyler should
procure some'person to attend the sale, who
would purchase the property-bid against
all competitors, and thus secure the home
stead of the family to the man who had
been instrumental in bringing the husband
to the verge of ruin, and his wife and chill
dren to misery and want. They expected
the property would sell alta sacrifice, ifthey
could prevent the knowledge of the sale
from extending beyond the town. This
they determined to accomplish, by repre-
senting that it would be bought by friend
of the family, for their benefit. They set
about their task with all the eagerness of
cupidity on the one part, and ofrevenge on
the other.
Grandson, at one time, resolved to chal-
lenge Benson to the field, nothing doubling
that he would fall an easy prey to his supe-
rior skill as marksman. But other consi-
derations decided him to abandon this, and
to make the ldw the instrument of his re-
venge. The necessary formalites were
gone through, and printed hand-bills an
nounced that on certain day, the aWhite
Cottage" now in the occupancy Of Charles
Benson, would be exposed at public sale TO
the highest bidder, &c.

BY CHARLES WILSON, U. S. A.
When riding Ger the main,
When floating DER the sea,
Where ere go, where ere | roam,
I'll think, I'll dream Of thee.
When joys around me gather,
And earth seems fair to see;
Oh! how my heart will long
To share those joys with thee.
When sorrows press my heart,
And troubles pour upon me,
One bright joy will still remain,
My thoughts, my dreams Of thee.
Yes, and in deaths dark hour,
My purest bliss shall be,
My hopes Of JOY in Heaven.
In Heaven possessing thee.
