A NEWPORT SToRY.-Near Newport,
is situated the Island of Connecticut; The
inhabitants of which are in the habit of
taking their produce TO the market of The
former place, taking back in return, such
commodities as their necessities demand.
Some years since, there lived an honest
family on the island, who had a son,-
whose long shabby, uncombed hair, gave
him an uncommonly poorish appearance,
even in that then primitive place. The
father was in The habit of visiting New
port, according to the custom Of his neigh
bors. On one occasion, he took home
with him, packed at the top of the chest
in which he transported his goods small
mirror, the first ever possessed by the
family. The chest was brought home,
and placed in the centre of the room, as
usual, for the purpose of being discharg-
ed of its contents, when this uncouth son
ran, as usual, and raised the lid, to see
what father had brought from town. On
this occasion, he gave but one brief look,
dropped the lid, and with terror depicted
in every feature, cried out: "Oh, moth
er mother father has brought home a
cub! he has brought home cub seed
him-a young bear! 2"

into tears.
When we reached the piazza all was
still. Nothing was TO be heard but the
dashing of the waves against the shore.

gazed with filling eyes into the blue sea.
Oh how | wished | was buried beneath
those rocking waves, never more to sec

me farewell, and imprinted kiss on my
brow, | felt calm. Good night, Mary
he said, i respect you for the silence
you have chosen to keep. But oh Ma
ry, my life is all a blank now and some
times when you are surrounded by the
bright and gay, will you pause and be-
stow one thought on him who must here
afer lead dreary existence Oh! Ma
ry, Mary, that we had never met
Oh! how fondIy was that wish re-echo-
ed back in my own heart. But | strove
to be calm, and bidding DR.. Louis!on
farewell, rushed into the house.
And now, Lucy, I need not go On, you
know the rest. How when but few
days after papa had returned, he called
me one morning to tie library, drawing
me toward him and kissing my brow,
and told me he had sad news for me );
and babe me never again think of my
cousin William, for six weeks ago $50 he
had written me, and papa had in mistaken
kindness withheld the letter until his re-
turn he had married an English girl,
speaking Of our engagement only as q
childish attachment.
My eyes were filled with tears of joy
now, and | kissed papa over and over
again, who looked at me wonderingly
over his spectacIes, Tor he had expected
to find me plunged in grief.
And now Louise, you remember my
merry wedding, and our removal to ST.
Louis, and that life ever since has been
to me but one bright dream of happiness.

FEMALE CHARACTER.

Character to a woman is like cash to a
wIthoul it one is poorly off indeed.
The person who will deliberately injure a
woman!'s reputation by word or deed, is
guilty Of an act that should crimson the
cheek with shame, and burn the conscnce'
as with fire. The trouble of it is too Of
ten attended with no such result We
find The following ahoat on the sea of
newSpaperdom, which is good enough
TO have the widest possible circulation.
"Never make use ofan honest woman's
name at an improper time or in a mixed
company. Never make assertions about
her that you think are untrue, or aIlus-
ions that you feel she herself would blush
to hear. When you meet with men who
do not scrnple to make use of a woman's
name in reckless and unprincipled man.
ner, shun them, for they are the very
worst members of the community men

worthy woman's character has been for
ever ruined, and her heart broken by a
lie, manufactured by somc'vilIain aud re.

GPA French paper mentions that a
peasant received lately by mail, letter
from his son Joseph, Zonave before Sc
baStopol. The young man mentioned
the fact that his legs were yet whole, but
that his shoes were the worse of the wear.
The afectionate father having purchased
"A pair ofnine and a-halfs, was perplexed
as to the means of forwarding them. Al
last he thought of the telegraph-the line
10 Marseilles ran through his village
He put the address on one of the soles,
and flung the shoes over the wire. A
pedlar passing by, struck by the soidity
of their workmanship, appropriated them
and placed his used up stampers in their
place. The next morning the old daddy
returned to the spot to see if the telegraph
had executed his commission. He saw
the substitution which had been effected.

INToXIcATIoN. AN old law in Spain
decreed that if a gentleman was convicted
of even capital offence, he should be
pardoned on his pleading his having been
intoxicated at the time he committed it,
it being supposed that any one who bore
the character of gentility, would more
readily suffer death than confess himself
capable Of such vice.

In Turkey, whenever a stOrekeeper is
convicted of telling lie, his house is
painted black, to remain SO for one month.
If there were such law in this country,
what sombre and gloomy appearance
some Of our cities would present.
