A COTTAGE BY TIETHAMEs.

has gone through England Inthat cottage

what she knows possible, and yet hopes i'm
possible. Weep on Minnie the hour IS at
hand when the blessed relief of tears will be

Willie, go 10 the town, and-and-Go !
WiIliep'
Willie goes; he runs all the way. He
brings back nothing but the newspaper, Gil
ed with --latest from the Crimea.'
No letter, Willie p
None
She seizes the paper, and gropes, tear
blind through the long columns. But she
finds nothing, oR!s-that so many were killed
and so many were wounded, and the names
of a few great officers that were slain. The
throbbing blood almost bursts from her veins
and her eyes grow dry, as she reads a prin-
ted letter from one Of the Fifth Dragons.
But it says nothing Of Cecil, only that the
Fifth Dragons had been in glorious peril
oh! my God !! how can | Gear this ago.
ny Of suspense!
Willie tried to soothe her, but she could
hear nothing but the souf-stunning thunder
OF battle, see nothing through her tears, but
) the charge of the Fifth Dragons!
, Go to the town, Willie, and come not
back till you have brought some word from
himY
The boy went sorrowfdlly. Minnie GRAY
watched the clock and the road to the town
all day, and all night, and all next day till
the sun went down.
Willie was coming The sight Of hin
made her dizzy and faint. How did he walk

RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA, skEDNESDAY,

loved Helen. Arthur had not yet arrived.
School was called, bat still he came not
this was unusual for him, as he was always
first atschool. We wished to see his Joy
on meeting Helen, and were therefore i'm
patient at his delay. Tom, upon whose
countenance smile of triumph played
throughout the morning, now began to tell
among the boys, that he had managed
matters for the drunkard's son, and that
mountain side school would hardly be both
cred with him soon again. Just as he
commenced, Arthur entered the house,
and after few words with the teacher, he
passed over to Helen's seat her eye spar
kled with joy as she arose to greet her de-
liverer; his too, beamed, but if not with
delight, It was with the reflection of inward
virtues that dwelt in sunlight brilliance
rupoif Che altar OF his truly noble htsart:-.'
He whispered few words in her ear, and
in an instant her JOY was turned into sad
ness tears traced each other freely down
/ her cheek A cloud of sorrow rested upon
her sunny countenance which showed her
heart was too full for utterancc. Arthur
was going to leave. The truth fell with
weight upon all our hearts All now re-
membered how unkindly he had been treat
ed, yet how kind he had been; his many
noble acts-his manly virtues, his unbend
ing integrity, and his native goodness Of
disposition all these things were remem
bered now. Tom alone remained indiffer
ent After Arthur had collected hisbooks
and babe his teacher and the rest of Us
" good bye" he took the hand of Helen
but she clung to his and went with hin
into the yard. They remained for a long
time, in earnest conversation upon the
green terrace beneath the shade of the tai
oaks; Arthur took lock from Helen's hal
and when he arose to depart they exchanged
mutual kiss-the seal of plighted hearts
they then parted and he was soon out o
sight.
All can be explained in a few words
Jacob Tindal, had, obedient to the wishe
of his son, dispossessed David Bruce Al
thur then prevailed upon his father to SCI
all his goods, and remove to the far wesi
where they might be forever free from tn
power and influence of the distiller and hi
son.

SELr1sHNEss is one of the most unsihtgly
blots 4pon poor, frail human nature. This
is vice that cannot well be wept over for
it arouses the hatred rather than the pity of
good men. Habitual, undisguised self wor-
ship is the offspring of little anc a mean
soul. 1t is q gross vice that stands ont more
boldly
"Than lying, vafnness, babbling, ,drunkenness,
Or any faint ofvice; whose strong corruption
Inhabits our frail blood"
