a QUAKEREss IN A HURRY.

An amusing matrimonial story is told
of the olden time of New England. 1t
so fell out that two young people be.
came attached to each other, as young
people sometimes do. The young wo.
mans father was wealthy Quaker; the
young mau was poor but respectable
The father could stand no such union,
and resolutely opposed it, and the daugh-
ter dared not disobey openly. She met
him by moonlight, while she pretended
never to see hin--and she pined and
wasted in spite of herself. She was re-
ally in love; state of signs and tears.
which women oftener reach in imagiua-
tion than reality. So the father remain
ed memorable. Time passed on, and
the rose of Mary's damask cheek passed
off. She let not concealment, like a
worm in bud, prey on the damask
cheek, however; but when her father
asked her why she pined, she always
told him. The old gentleman was wild
over and loved his girl dearly. Had it
been a widowed mother who had Mary
in charge, woman's pride never would
have given way before the opportunities
of daughter. Men are not, however,
so stubborn in such matters, and when
the father saw that his daughters heart
was really set upon the match, he sur
prised her one day by breaking out:
" Mary, rather than NOPE to death, thou
hadst better marry as thee chooses and
when thee pleases."
Aud what did Mary ? Wait till the
birds Of the air had told her swain of the
change, or till her father had time to
change his mind again ? Nota bit of it,
She clapped her neat plain bonnet on
her head, walked directly into the street
and then as directly to the house of her
intended as the street could carry her.
She walked into the house without
knoeking-for knocking was not fashion
able then--she found the family just
sitting to dinner. Some little commo-
tion was exhibited at so unexpected an
apparition as an heirese in the widows
cottage, but she needed it not. John
looked up inquiringly. She walked to
him and took his hand in hers; " John"
said she, " father says may have thee"
And John got directly up from the din
ner table and went to the parsons. In
just twenty-five minutes they were man
and wife.

fowry way she led me- as agreeably fol
her as the wolf did for Little Red Rid
ing Hood, while schemes, as deep-laiG
and appropriate, thong b less blood-thirs
ty toward my fair companion, formed
themselves in my mind.
I was never in such spirits. I was
charmed with myself in the novel char
acter of wooer The railroad rapidity
with which my drama proceeded excited
me- In one short hour I, the impreg-
nable, the finty hearted, had not fallen
head over heels in love myself, but also,
1 fattered myself-but mum-of all
things hate boaster.
However, as have said 1 was in high
spirits and excited, and among other
nonsense ventured at last to say, laugh
iDgly, Do you know, sweet Nora, that
have been haunted by singular pre-
sentiment ever since the moment FIRST
caught a glimpse of you ?'
What is it ?' she asked laughing
That you will one day be my wife !"
1 exclaimed, with the bold emphasis of
conviction and determination.
Nora burst into the merriest of laughs,
and at the same moment turned into a
little path which led down from the door
of rose-wreathed cottage. A young
aud handsome gentleman advanced has
tily to meet US, and Nora, with the de-
murest of mischievous smiles, courtsied
low as she presented e" her husband ~
1 saw the look of mingled coquetry, mis-
chief and curiosity, which she stole at
me from under her 6owBcast lashes;
saw the difficulty she had to repress her
merrimcnt-I saw what fool had
been making of myself, and 1 turned
precipitately to fly. Nora's pcnt up
laughter now burst FORTH peal after
peal rung on the air, aud L heard my
tormcntor call after me, " Pray, pray.
sir angler, return, and 1 will show you
my baby !"
Well ladies and gentlemen, It's TWEEN
ty years from that day to this; but IN
a bachelor yet, and I suppose I always
shall be forI am as far of as ever from
finding my ideal.
I cannot say the adventure 1 hzvc
narrated had any deep or lasting effect
upon mc-and yet it had though; for
since that same summer afternoon 1 have
never gone angling and, e ercr I ssfi iaisee |
to see silly girl padding her feet iu
the water, I run as if ten thou sand girls
were after me.

hearts than there is in their actions !;
and Americans are constantly smother
ing down good feeling which conscience
will not allow them to express, because
it is not considered manly. Manners
of any elaboration are considered, if not
deceitful, yet dangerous, and it is almost
as much as any mans character for hon
esty is worth to say the simple truth in
the way of commendation of book, a
lecture, or speech, OF good action.
While every one, of course, likes to be
honestly praised, the reputation Of a
hatterer or Of mere echo of distin-
guished man, is amongst the most re-
pulsive possible to Americans. Our
manners, ip truth greatly need amend
ment, or rather formation. We are not
So much an ill-mannered as an unman-
nered race, We get through with our
business and devotion in some kind of
straightforward, awkward fashion, and,
so that no one is knocked down or hurt
in days operations, we feel as if we
were safely through that twenty-four
hours. There is good deal Of yillful-
ness in this. Because we caG fight
bravely, we think We will be as reugh
as we choose because deceit is eherac-
teristic at courts and worn-out aristoc-
racies, we determine that we will be
blunt; and because French and Italians
often make themes eslves ridiculous by
grimace, We will make ourselves stiff
and disagreeabla. " I will take leave
to say observes Mr.. Thackery, cour-
teousncss can be ost of place at no time
and under no flag. A politeness and
simplicity, truthful manhood, a gen.
tie respect and Difference, may be kept
as the unbougbt grace of life and cheap

artificial distinctions have passed away.n u |

JOHN ADAMs.-"The elder Adams,
the son of worthy eobler." "Theta. +"
-Tramscrapt, May II, 1856.
It is perhaps owing to the very fact
of his humble parentage that the elder
Adams became what he was. I have
never seen the story in print, but it le-
ultimately decended to me by oral ira
dition, having been told my grandfath-
er by "the pious Deacon Adams Of the
church in Braintree," himself
The deacon, during temporary ab
sence, had set John to cutting out the
"uppers" for some shoes; but like the
Chinaman, who, in making a pair of
breeches from pattern furnished by
some prudent captain, had faithfully
copied the patches which his wife had
put in the seat of the old ones, John had
embellished every supper" he had cut
with the three -cornered hole by which
the patterns hung on their accustomed
nail. az saw, ''said the deacon, 81

TIE FAITH THAT CANNOT GRoH OLD.
-Osher religions become sielly exssics
when yeu transplant thsm frsp their
birthplass; change of climate is fatal
to tEeis senstitusions. Christianity
takes root in every soil il fourishss in
every climate. You cannot plant Ms-
hommedanism in China, or Csnfucian-
ism in Turkey; the subtle system Of
Hindooism will nos do for tho untutoT-
ed mind Of tho African. Bat, thank
God, Christianity il adapted 10 them
all. Other systems are content to
slunber within their own territory; they
make no attompt 10 acquire dominion
over that which is the proper sphere Of
religion, the kingdom of mind. Chris
tianity aims at and avows les intention
of completing the conquest Of the world.
In distant parts of the earth its BANNER
is now waving, the sign of hope to the
nations. Other religions, after they
exist for century or two, give signs Of
animation and feebleness. The strength
of Christianity grows with its years; it
is not subject to the wasting influence
of time; age brings with it no feeble
ness; centuries, aye, centuries of centu-
ries, write no wrinkles ON its brow. It
is eighteen hundred years old, and the
dew of its youth is upon it

EARLY RIs1Na--The morning of eve.
~ day is the beginning of every mans
life. One of your greatest errors, for
know you well, and do not mean to fat
ter you-one of your greatest errors is,
that you do not seize on these begin
nings of life SO early as you might dc.
You lived yesterday to good old age,
and died last night after the powers of
your mind and body were entirely ex-
hausted. But I must remind you, my
friend, that you have spent the greater
part of the youth of this day in the state
of the dead. The great business Of your
life was up before youi you have been
running after it this whole afternoon,
and I am afraid you will not overtake il
till old age overtakes you.

the character of the Ger1an Turner'S
Society, when Judge StGllo, one of the

established in Germany IN connection
with the Universities, to promote and
dsuslop the physical man, and also for

sUccEss.-sueeess prompts to exer-

it also gives pronpsness, and the, soul
