THREE SCEEES.
SCENE THE FIRST.
By MISS C. w. BARBER.

1t was balmy night in June. The
stars were out in the deep azure above,
shedding over the wide green earth quiet
beauty, and the streets, in town and
country, were filed with loiterers, who
won by the beauty Of the night, had
come out from the hot offices and pent-
up workshops to enjoy the hour.
In stately country-house, scarcely an
hours walk from the goodly city Of
G., there were brilliant eyes,
flashing mirrors, rose wrcathed vases, and
patty of Young and happy jewellers.
Young girls clad in white with artificial
flowers twined among their braided hair,
or sunny cusls straycd here and there,
leaning upon the arms of their g Illants,
or chatting merrily upon the sofas and
cushioned chairs, which were strewed
ptc,tifally through tho-roonls:
1t was one Of those scenes which make
the Young forget, for brief time, at
least, that earth has cares and trials; that
it is not what it seem; the residence Of
truthful and happy hearts. Beside a
centre. table, two persons stoop leaning
gracefully over the leaves of /; richly
bound album, admring the engrlvings
and sentiments which they found there.
Howard Greenleaf and Edith Hasting
were pronounced by all, The Stars Of the
evening. There was something that
proclaimed him TO be I" "onc of natures
nobility" His hair was very black, and
curlcd over high white forehead; his
eyes were lit up by the fires of genius;
his voice dccp.toned, yet musical, as he
turned every now and then, with an ad.
miring glance, to the fair creature at his
side. Edith was exactly the reverse Of
her companion, aud vet none could have
said that she was less beautiful. Her
curls were light, almost haxcn, in their
hue her complexion was clear, even 10
transparency, and her large blue eyes,
and sweet ro>e-bud-like mouth, formed Il
face as innocent and pure in its express
sion as that of little Child. She was
clad in robe of muslin, not more snowy
than the rounded arms which were orna-
mented by heavy bracelets of gold. She
was the only, the idolizcd child, of the
banker in c..
a servant came in, bearing waiter,
upon which were refreshments. Among
the stately pyramids of cake, flashed
several glasses, filled to the brim with
wine. Howard was interrupted in the
middle Of one of his best speeches, as
the ebony-laced attendant stopped be-
fore him; but he helped his fair com.
panion bouutifuIly to the tempting things
before him, and then, is crowning act
to his politencss, he took two sparkling
glasses from the waiter, one of which lie
gave into the hand OF his lovely com.
panion. Both qualed off the ruby tide
without the shadow OF fear.

SCENE THE THIRD.

Tie wind whistled through the streets
carrying with it wreaths Of snow, and
biting the cheeks of even the furclad,
until they grew chill and numb, in its
icy breath.
The wealthy stayed in their comforta-
ble palaces, and shut carefully every
door and window, 10 exclude tie l;ierc-
ing wind. The man OF business hurried
over tie Iinging pavements, Us if anxious
to reach the shelter of 4 comfortable
home.
On the marble stone Of stately resi-
dencc, poor bcggar boy sunk down,
overcome with cold and fatigue. His
cheeks were sunken, and upon the long
silken lashes that yelled l.is bl lle eyes,
there were two frozen tear drops. As
he glanced up to the warm crimson-cur-
taiued windows above him, something
like groan came through his blue and
quivering lips. From that very mansion,
his mother went forth a young, beautiful
and richly lowered bride; but the child
knew it not. lis recollection was mise.
ry and wo. He only y knew that he uus
a druahards Child.
As he SIT there with his stihening
hands claspcd over lis naked bosom, he
slept, and dreamed that the black, sullen
clouds, parted above, and an angel face
looked brightly ;ud smilingly forth, and
heckoncd him away He.zcauGiltz the.
glitter Of silvery wings, whiter even than
the falling snow flakes beneath them and
then he knew that it was his mother
beckoning lin 10 the laud of rest.
Before morning. the begger boy lay
upon the marble steps, as white, and
sensclcss rs they. Life had fled, and
those who lifted the sliIlencd corpse
f ON the steps Of =" the genlleman's door,"
wondered over the cxQui$itely chiseled
features, wasted as they were by misery.
Hastings Howard, Editl's beautiful and
only child, slept hrn, "the sleep that
knows no dreaming"

MARRIED AND UNMARRIED LADIES
The situation of a married and unmar-
ried female, it must be confessed, is very
unequal, the former having greatl y the
advantage in scale of earthly happiness,
aud the world makes the distinction still
more unequal than nature intended it.
At 35, the married woman is considered
in the moon of life; while the single
woman is looked upon as passee. Again
the wife has less necessity to depend on
intellectual pleasures as sources against
the latitude OF cnuni. She has duties 10
perform, let her station in life be what it
may, to which the single woman cannot
turn to vary the monoIomy of her cxis.
tence. The matron, if she be a mother,
will find sufficient stimulus TO keep up or
revive, in the early instruction which it is
one of the woman's sweetest privileges
to give her offspring, the knowledge and
accomplishments which she learned in
her own youth. What pleasure can be
higher or moro uualloyed to the bestower
what sight more enduring to the be-
holder-than 4 matron, DER whose brow
the shadow of Time, like that OH the
dial, has passed, yet left much Of the
sunny light of life behind, leading her
fair daughter to emulate the graces Of
which she herself is so fair pattern.
Or to make Il son, in all the pride of
youthful manhood, paying back with
love, little short Of alteration, the cares
of her whose gentle Instructions first
lured him to seek the wider paths Of
knowledge, and at whose knee his infant
prayer was first brcathcd! Other feel
ings grow cold-otler memories pass
away; but the gentle images of the
mother who has watched our childhood
her love, her tenderness, her unwearied
devotion, will for ever be mirrored in the
human heart.

hands, lie grasped the white fingers of the
child, and said, as if to himself
"He is like his mother; like her, as she

That very night, she became my atlianced

EDGEFIELD, S. c., FEBRUARY y, 1852.
The Preacher and The Robbers.

A Methodist preacher, many years
ago, was journeying to village where
he was to dispense the word of life, &C.
cording to the usual routine of his duty
and was stepped on his WY by three
robbers. One of them seized his bride
reins, another presented Il pistol and de.
mandcd his money; the third was Il
mere locker on.
The grave aud devout man looked
each and al! of them in the face, and
with great gravity and seriousness said,
" Friends, did you pray to God before
you left home? did you ask God to bless
you i'll your undertakings to-day"
The question startled them for mo-
ment. Recovering themselves, one said,
" We have no time to answer such ques.
tions, we want your money"
IL am Il poor preacher of the gospel"
was the reply; but what little money |
have, shall be given 10 YOU"
a fell shi!liugs was all he had to give.
"Have you watch!"
eyes"
Well, then, give it to u.s.
In taking lis watch from lis pocket,
his saddle-bags were displayed
What have you here!" was the qucs
ton again.
81 cannot say have nothing in them
bat religious books, because have a pair
of shoes, aud change of linen ALSO"
lie aust have Them"
The preacher dismounted. The sad.
dle.bags were taken possession Of and
no further demand made. Instantly the
preacher began to unbutton his great
coat, and to throw it off his shoulders,
at the same time asking, evil you have
my great coat"
"No," was the reply; "you are a
generous man, and we will not take it"
lie then addressed them as follows:
81 have given you every thing you
asked for, and would have given you
more than you asked for. | have one
Iavor to ask of you"
What is that!"
"That you kuccl down and allow me
10 pray to Almighty God in your behalf;
to ask Hin to turn your hearts and put
you in the right way"
"Pll have nothing to do with the mans
+ & si:r;,. {,
Nor [ either" said another of them.
Here, take your watch, take your
money, take your saddle bags; if we
have anything to do with you, the judy
mcnt of God will overtake u.s."
So each article was returned. That,
however, did not satisfy the saintcd man.
He urged prayer upon them. He knc!t
down; one OF the robbers knelt with
him; one prayed, the other wept, con-
lesscd his sin, said it was the first time
in his lie that he had done such thing,
and it should be the last How far he
kept his word, is known only to Him to
whom the darkness and light are equally
alike; TO Him whose eyelids try the
children of men.

There exists in French society, re-
marks the author Of Monte Leone, and
we may add that it is by no means limi-
ted by French society, a hideous monster
known to all, though no one disturbs it.
Its ravages are great, almost incalcula-
bic. 1t saps reputation, poisons, dishon-
ors and defiles the splcndor of the most
estimable form.
This minotaurus, which devours so
many innocent persons, is especially
fearful, because the blows are terrible.
1t presents itself under the mildest and
gentlest forms, and is received every
where in the city. We find it in our
rooms, in the interior of our families, in
the places OF the opulent, and the gar
rets of the poor. 1t has no name being
mere figure Of speech, a very word. 1t
is composed Of but one phrase, and is
called-TuEY SAY,
"Do you know such one ?'i is often
asked, and the person is pointed out.
No; but Mcy sag his morals are very
bad. He has had strange adventures,
aud his family is very unhappy
Are YOU sure@
"No, know nothing about it. But
they sag So"
Do not trust that gentleman who has
such credit, and is thought so rich. Be
on your guard"
Bah! his fortune is immense: see
what an establishment he has"
eyes! But they say he is very much
involved"
"Do you know that facts'
Not |. They sag, though"
This they say is beard in every rela-
ton of life. 1t is deadly mortal, and not
to be grasped. It goes hither and thith-
er, strikes and kills manly honor, female
virtue, without either sex being ever
conscious of the injury done. Each as
he reads these lines will remember cases
illustrating the truth of what we say.
