LOVE AND ROYALTY.

A London correspondent of the Bos-
SON Post gives the following gossip as to
an instance of love and royalty;
"It is said that Queen Victoria is troub-
led about the affairs of the heart, which
has sprung up between the princess roy
al and the young king of Portugal. who
is again upon visit here. Not that
there is anything Objectionable in the
latter, either in mind, morals, or good
looks, that would render him undesirable
asahusband or son-in-law, orinthe throne
he is to fill, which is all an anxious moth
could aspire after for one of her four
daughters-nor that the Queen would
not gladly see the princess royal well dis
posed of in marriage-but that the young
king is Roman Catholic, and is thus
debarred from allying himself by mar
rage with an heiress, however distant,
of the British crown. Meanwhile the
young king has fallen violently in love
with the fair girl of fifteen, who is not
insensible to his merits, and lets pass no
occasion, either by presents, messages or
tokens, when he is absent, or by tender
looks when present, to manifest his sin
cere affection. They are not, of course,
suffered to meet, except in the presence
of others; but there are numerous occa-
sions during the morning walks and
rides,or the steamer trips in the bay,
when the lover can manifest the SEN
timents of his heart to the object of
his pursuit. 1t is whispered that among
the numerous teachers employed to per-
feet the royal children in the knowledge
of the modern languages, there is one
who is subject of his majesty, and who
is deyotedly attached to him, and that
through him communications have pass
ed long time, which never meet the
august scrutiny of the Queen.

MY FIRST RIDE.
BY CARRY STANLEY.

I was Just sixteen, and was spending
the summer at my uncle Jacks in Sum-
merviIle, the most beautiful of all Con-
necticut's beautiful villages. The beau
of the place was Phil Darrah Not that
Phil was by any means the only eligible
young man in Summerville +; but he had
a large fortune left him by maiden
aunt and he was intelligent; and good
looking and fastidious and asserted his
superiority in such an indisputable way,
that everybody yielded as a matter Of
course.
The first time that | saw him was al
church on the Sunday after my arrival.
The good, droning old clergyman was
reading the first lesson, and the menoto-
nous tone, combined with the waiting of
fans. and the warm summer air, had lul-
led me into dreamy state most unusu-
al and sat and watched the waving
boughs through the open window, and
thought how much more gloriously their
green-leaved tongues talked of heaven,
than | feared the paper-leayed sermon on
the pulpit would do.
Sydney Smith has said, that " spar
row fiustering about the church, lis an at
tagonist which the mort profound theoTo-
gian in Europe is wholly unable to over
come" This was verified in the case of
good Mr.. Clarke on this day, Tor in the
midst oi the Sabbaih stiffness there was
a slow, measured tread down The carpet
ed aisle, and the bonnets of white, pink,
or blue which had been resolutely turned
toward the pulpit. suddenly presented
fronts to the aisle, and cheeks dimpled,
and eyes lighted as they rested on the
handsome young fellow who leisurely
sauntered down 10 the pew in front of the
chancel.

minister, as the intruder took his seat.

eyed cousin to inquire his name, but she
demurely smiled. and turned over the

In his pew, and make all the responses

to Jenny, he whispered to me.

rich enough for Phil Darrah. Put take
care, for he's dreadful Airt."
" Diamond cut diamond" retorted L,
as the congregation arose. and l saw
that the individual in question was ga

l endeavored in vain after this, to fix
my thoughts earnestly on the beautiful
church service. The green leaves, and
the blue sky, and the soft summer air,

CURRAN,s INGENU1TY.

occasion for il shortly afterwards, he re-
sorted to mine host for payment but
thelandlord too deep for the countryman,
wondered what hundred he meant, and
was quite sure no such sum had ever
been lodged in his hands BY the aston
ished rustic. After Intellectual appeals
to the recollection, and finally to the
honor of Bardolph. the farmer applied to
Curran for advice. Have patience, my
FRIEND said the counsel; speak to the
landlord civily. tell him you might have
left your money with some other person.
lake friend with you, and lodge with
him another hundred, in the presence of
your friend, and come to mel' He did
so, and returned to his legal friend.
And now / don't see how am going to
be better off for this, if get my second
hundred again; but how is that to be
done p $50 and ask him for it when he
is alone 7 said the counsel. eAy, sir,
but asking won't do, I'm afraid-not
without my witness, at any rate.' 'NeE-
er mind-take my advicel' said the
counsel; do as 1 bid you and return to
me ? The farmer returned with his
hundred, glad to find that in his posses
sion. Now, sir, must be content-but
l don't see that I'm much better off,
We'll, then,' said the counsel, now take
your friend with you, and ask the land
lord for the hundred pounds your friend
saw you leave with nim.' We need not
add that the willy landlord had been
taken off his guard, while our honest
friend returned to thank his counsel, ex.
ultingly, with both hundreds in his
pocket.

LIGENEoUs PAPER.MILL.

We mentioned few weeks since that
the foundation of new paper-mill for
the manufacture of paper from bass wood
had been commenced in our village by
Mr.. George W. Beardslee of Albany
On visiting the premises last week. on
Mill ST., we were surprised on witnessing
the progression being made. The build
ing has indeed assumed "shape, form
and beauty" 1t will be the most sub
stantial and durable building in our vii
lage. The basement wall on the river
sideis sightfeetthicki some of the stone in
it. obtained on thes spot, will weigh from
eight to ten tons. The dimensions of
the main building are 81 100, with a
wing on the east side so feet wide and so
feet long.
Mr.. Beardslee is manufacturing his
own paper engines in this village. There
will be from Is to 90 of them for the
of pulp. capable of turning
out 50 tons per week. Mr.. B. will hot
be confined TO Eastwood. He has ca
perimented with spruce, pine, hemlOck,
whitewood. buckeye, &c, and is conf
dent he can produce good, first rate
quality of paper from each of them, and
at less price than printers are now OBJ
Iiged to pay.
The mill will be in readiness for ope-
ration about the LIST of October, when we
shall have more to say about it.-Li'as

OLD AGE.

tits not well that man should always
labor. His temporal as well as spiritual
interest demand cessation in the decline
Oflife. Some years of quiet and reAec-
ton are necessary after life of industry
and activity. There is more to coucern
him in life than incessant occupation,
and its product-wealth. He who has
been drudge all his days to one monot-
onous mechanical pursuit can hardly be
fit for another world, The release from
Toll in old age, most men have the pro-
spective pleasure of, and in the reality,
it is as pleasing as it is useful and salu-
tary to the mind. Such advantages,
however, can only be gained by pru-
dence and economy in youth we must
save, like the ant, before we can hope to
have any rest in the winter of our old
age.
