THE BROKEN ENGAGEMENT:


OR, OBTAINING A POSITION IN SOCIETY.
'Did you know Emma Parker was en-
gagged % said a bright Miss of thirteen to
her school-mate.
Engaged! Well, one bright laugh at
that without being accused of folly" was
the reply.
This conversation took place at the door
of Mrs. IS school, while the subject
Of it, Emma Parker, was still in sight.
Though the engagement of school
girl. in the present age of Improvement,
would not be considered thing improper
or improbable, ten years since, at which
time our story commences, such thing was
uncommon, and occurred but seldom.
Emma Parker was dark. eyed, curly
headed girl, over whose fair brow but six
teen summers had flown, and her school DAYS
were not ended. And yet she was engaged
She had given away her heart, even before
she knew what she was doing, without re-
fecting that she might change, or that
position in life would prove greater motive
in the bestowal of her hand.
Although Emma had attained to woman's
stature, the growth of her mind had not kept
pace with that of her body. Yet she be-
lieved herself intellectual, and endeavored to
be so. She had hurried through the pages
of score of novels, and wished herself the
heroine of each one Of them; and as each
one Of these heroines had husband, Emma
was desirous of having husband too
To attain this was not an easy task Her
fathers wealth attracted to his dwelling
quite number of young men, all Emma's
seniors, of course, who had an eye to ssthe
chances" -...-.
Among these, yet not with the same de-
sire which others possessed, was George
Emery. He had met with Emma quite
number of times, and loved her for herself
alone. 1t was no mercenary motive which
attracted him. Though six years older, he
looked upon her as one intellectually his
equal. True, he had seen but little of the
world, and less of female society, and
ought not to be considered competent
judge in such matters.
His Manners and more particularly his
The more they were together, the more
they became attached to each other, and
after q short acquaintance, they were en-
gagged.
Now, among certain class in the city Of
Boston, an engagement is equivalent to
marriage-sometimes.
george cOnSldefed IL so, and so did Emma.
They seemed to grow more loving day by
day, and though Emma still attended school,
she was far more fond of reading her dear
Georges favorite authors, than of studying
her Greek and Latin.
II ever there was s'Paradise Of Love"
here below, it was in these two young hearts.
With them it was the joyous summer OF e1-
istence. Alas that dark clouds should ever
hover over the horizon of love.

him; so did her father But Emma Gid

'George was young man, and might be
rich. He was poor once himself" But
Emma's introduction into society opened
her eyes to some things she had not cad in
novels, and which her friends deemed neces-
sary-things which love could not supply.
She visited some of her newly married
friends, and as she gazed around their ee-
giant establishments, she asked herself where
hers was to come from, or even if her father
gave her such an one, how was it to be main
tained. She loved George, but

Still Emma loved George, but his pos

and so she told George, and desired him TO

LIBERTY.

Italia's skies are bright and fair,
And vines festoon the hills;
Her silver streams are deep and clear,
Fed by a thousand rills.
Yet what avails the clustering vine?
Or what the silver stream?
While lordly man remains supine,
Uncheered by Freedoms beam.
And cloudless is Ionia's sun;
Her vallies still as gay;
But where the men of Marathon.
Where of Thermopyla?
Alas! in these bright lands the flames,
Of Freedom have decayed,
And soon their host of warrior names,
Oblivion's tomb will shade.
Yet still exists one welcome CLINE,
Free from a despot's chains,
Where car-borne Freedom towers sublime,
And reason guiles the reins
Columbia thy glorious name
A rallying cry shall be,
When nations prompted by thy fame
Are struggling to be free

ABOUT THE CHEAP CASH FAMILY GROCERY !,
A WORD IN MY OWN BEHALF.

RETTER than twelve months ago, the sub

demanded an establishment of this kind here

success of which was thought to he quite proble-
lnatlcul He takes pleasure in informing the pul,
lie that the project has realized his most sunpune
expectations, and is established upon n per-
inancnt bass-at the same time he would have
oil 10 understand. that lie did not expect n great
deal. 1t is sufficient for his purpose ut present,
however, to state, that he has lnnde u little and
,s still selling Groceries ut Abbcvc Court House,
oonth Carolina. Some people think that he makes
enormous profits, and that he sells too high but
this idea invariably vanisics, when similar pur-
chnses are made elsewhere His motto has been
=" quick sales and small Profts." and tho Pro-
rLE are finding ii out, scores of whom testify of
their faith, by making all their purchases ut tho
CHEAP CASH FAMILY GROCERY.
Last summer and full, when Bacon was selling at
hiteen cents per pound every where, some kind
friends thought and ddpised him 10 sell at cost I.
because thcy had to buy; and, although he sold al
very small advance above COST still, any one of
the dullrst comprehension could at once that Il
business con'd not sustain itself at these rates.
