BIRTH DAYS.

We like the observance Of birthdays in a
family. 1t is good, wholesome ireside
practice. 1t is something pleasant to look
forward to, and a green spot in the Past,
upon which the memory can dwell with
pleasure. After the concert last evening,
we, as willingly as unexpectedly, helped t"
celebrate the lonrtecnth birthday OF fair
girl Just budding into womanhood. She Of
course was the object OF interest of the
evening, and not person there, old or
young, who composed the "goodie com.
pamir," but heartily wished her many happy
and bright returns Of the day. There would
be great deal less outside, aud of course
less dangerous, amusement, II these family
festivities we're observed with more sacred
care ,han they usually are. But some fami.
lies, from an ovcrStraincd or severe construc-
ton of religious manufactures, from mo-
iives of economy-and others, from indlt-
ference TO social pleasure-ut,en make the
domestic hearth so gloomy and iorbiddng
rs either to crush the natural bouyancy of
youth, or send it abroad to seek satisfaction
! in scenes as replcte with danger as with
excitement. The lireside is the place around
which tive family affections should gather
We care not what tue kind motive which
draws family aud friends around-whelher

DECEMBER 28, 1858.

About the time that Andy's feelings were
in as uncomfortable Il state us could well be
imagined, and he was beginning to wish
himself at the North Pole, Kate Archer and
her friend Jenny eutered the room slowly,
the former with an open letter in her hand
upon which the eye OF both were resting.
In an instant, it flashed upon Andy Cav.
ender that he was to be viclimized by the
city belle. No sooner had this thought
crossed his mind than rising abruptly, be
bowed to his fair tormentors saying
Excuse me, ladies'" And beat Il hasty
retreat.
But, ere he had passed beyond the street
door, there reached him gnsh Of merry
laughter from the musical throat Of Kate,
in which other voices mingled.
On the next day he received 4 letter di.
rectcd in delicate hand. 1t enclosed the
the one he had written to Kate, and accom-.
pany it was note in these words:--
"There is, it is presumed, a mistake in the
direction of this. 1t was probably meant
for Caroline Gray, Mary Harper, Nancy
Herbert, or Jenny Green. In order that it
may receive its proper destination, it is re.
turned to the writer"
The village hirt WINS 4 changed man after
that. He had played with edged tools until
he cut himself, and the wound, in healing
left an ugly scar. Poor Andy Cavender
All this happened years ago, and ho is a
bachelor still, Notwithstanding several subse-
quent attempts to make a favorable impress
sion on the hearts of certain pretty maidens.
The story of his punishment at Mrs. rs
flew over the village in a few hours, and,
after that, no fair denizen Of Woodland for
moment thought of regarding any atten-
ton from Andy Cavendsr as more than Il
piece OF idle past.timc; and on the few oc-
casions that he ventured to talk of love, the
merry witches laughed him in the face.

Select Qnle.
THE LOVE LETTER.

ANDY Cavender was sad triAcr in bis
way. There was scarcel y a maiden in the
Village to whom he had not made love ut
one time or another, and all as pleasant
piece of past.,ilnc; not seeming TO under
stand that maidrns' hearts were tender
things, and liable to be hurt in the handling.
Many tears had lie caused TO flow from
beautiful eyes, yet il he knew OF the fact,
it did not appear to give him serious concern.
There WAS always smile on his Zip aud
light word on his tongue.
At last, however, Andy's heart received
an impression. The image of fair young
girl rested upon it; not as OF old, like the
image in Il spcculunn, to pass with the OBJ
iect, but like the sun fixed image OF the
dagucrreotype. Strange fact! the tickle
liglt.hearted Andy Cavcuder WAS III love;
really aud truly in love.
There had come TO Woodland, to pass Il
few months during the warm Summertime,
city maiden, whose charms were too
potent for the village ilirt. She came, he
saw, and was conquered. 1t WAS soon plain
to every one that it was all over with Andy
Cavrnter. Kalc-thc lively, witty darling
Kate Archer, had subdued him with her
charms, though all unconscious herself Of
the conquest she had made.
But others SAW what she perceived not,
and looked on, curious for the issue.
"What do You think Of this, Jenny?
said Kate Archer, one day, to the young
friend with whom she was spending her
Summer in the country, and she laughed rs
she spoke, at the same time holding up a
letter.
"News from home :" remarked Jenny,
smiling
"Oh, dear, no! It's love letter.
"What"
"a real rightly love.ettcr, and, as they
say, nothing else. Oh dear! TO think
that should have made a conquest already"
"a love.le,ter, Kate Well. here is an
adventure sure enough! Whose heart have
you broken {"
"You sha! see and hear for YOURSELF
replied the laughing girl. Then, as she
unIoldcd the letter, she put on grave coun.
tenance, and opening the pages to the eye OF
her friend, read aloud
"MY DEAR MISS cMER:-Will you
permit one who, from the moment he saw
YOU, became an ardent admrer, to lay his
heart at your feet! Until you appeared in
our quiet village, 10 maiden had passed be,
fore me who had power to win my love
But from the moment saw you, no longe'
had control over my affections. They flew
to YOU like bird to its mate. You cannot
but have observed, in all our recent meet
ings, that regarded you with more than ;
common interest, and have permitted my
self to believe that you read the language o
my eyes, and understood its meaning, fo,

coIdly on me. Have erred in believing
that your heart responded to the warm emo
tons Of my own! trust not If it be so
then am | of all men most miserable.
will wait, with trembling and inpatient hope
your answer to this.
"Tenderly and faithfully yours.
ANDREW LAVENDER"
"Now, Jenny dear, what do you think o
that!" said Kate, gayly, as she folded VI
her letter, "Havn't made real con
quest"

every thing!'

each one took to his heels, as if the bear was
in pursuit OF him. The ventriloquist having
arrived at the inn, laughed heartily to see
the simple villagers flying in every direction,
