the size and grandeur Of the town from

within its limits church. of the denom-
ination Of Hardsides," sect noted for
the learning OF its ministers, the purity
and intelligence of its members gener-
ally, and the strictness with which they
shun even the appearance of evil-with
many other excellencies which are its
distinguishing features.
Among many other members, was
young gentleman named George Dick
son, a most exemplary young man of 25
years of age, who fancied he had had a
call from on high to preach the gospel
though some person, who was not as
! friendly to that church as perhaps he
ought to have been, had the audacity TO
show his skepticism on the subject by
giving it as his opinion that somebody
else was called, and George Dickson an
swered. Be this as it may, shall not
attempt to decide the point-but wheth-
er he was called or not, he obeyed the
summons; and his zeal for the church
was only surpassed by his love for rum

that will give the reader the lnforma-
tion-for Thereby hangs tale.'
George was man of tolerably good
appearance red face, and toleI ably

things in general was rather limited. He
was entirely unacquainted with that ten

vessels, as he termed the ladies in his
sermons, until about three weeks prior
to the commencement Of my story, al
which time he saw Miss Adaline c., a.

My GENTLE FRlEND.-A year has
passed since our brief meeting and un.
happy parting. ! do not think you have
forgotten me in that time; you may be
sure | have not forgotten you. The men,
ory of one about whom We conversed,
alone would keep your image green in
my thoughts. Of the rash step took,
you have no doubt heard. In anger at
unjust treatment both from my father and
grandfather, was weak enough to enter
the United States service as a sailor
Having committed this folly, and being
unwilling to humble myself, and appeal
to frieRds who had wronged me for their
interest to get me released, have looked
the hardship and degradation before me
in the face and sought to encounter it
mantully. The ordeal has been thus far
most severe. and | have yet two years
Of trial before me. As am where |
am by my own act. will not complain
and yet, | have felt it hard TO be cut off
from all the sympathy and kind interest
of my friends-to have no word from
home-to feel that none cares for me.
/ | know thatI have offended both my faith
er and grandfather past forgiveness. and
my mind is made up to seek for no recon
cillation with them. | canLot stoop to
that. | have too much of the blood OF

1t would be difficult TO represent clear
ly Jenny's state Of feeling during thi.
period. A sipple minded, innocent
true-hearted gill in whose bosom scarce
beat single selfish impulse, she found
herself suddenlg approached by one in
station far abovs her, in a way that lef,
her heart ungdarded. He had stopped

by painful consequences to the young
man. When Jenny thought of how
Mark had been driven away on her ac-
count, she felt that in order 10 save him
from the evils that must be impending
over him, she would devote even her
life in his service. But, what could she
do9 This desire TO serve him had also
another origin. A deep feeling of love
had been awakened; and, though she
felt it to be hopeless, she kept the fame
brightly burning.
lntenser feelings produced more ac-
tive thoughts, and the mind of Jenn,
took higher development. A constan
association with Mr.. Lotion, who required
her 10 read to him sometimes for hour
each day, filed her thoughts with highe
/ ideas than any she had known, and grad
ualIy wldened the sphere Of her intelli
gence. Thus she grew more and NOR
companionable to the old man, who, i
turn,Perceiving that the mind was expan
ding, took pains to give it a right direc
ton so far as eternal knowledges wer
concerned.
Soon after Mark went to sea, Jenn
: took pains TO inform herself accuratel
as to the position and duties Of commo
: sailor on board of a United States vesse
She was more troubled about Mark aft
3 this, for she understood how unified
. was for the hard service he entered u
: on SO blindly.
One day, il was over year from Il
