poor eirl overcome by the exci,ements
Of the past event, sank down in state
Of genuine insensibility. 1, was evi-
dent that her faint was no feint. Il
may not seem surprising. that Mr..
vane. entirely forgetting his part. was
the first to the rescue, and hsd NADIA
lcin In his arms before any one else could
reach her. "Tolerable spry, any how"
exclaimed one Of his qu ,ndam support
ers. II was now Miss Grey's turn to be
assisted home. To the men who had
come out for the purpose OF carrying
somsbody hone, and were disappointed,
when Mr.. vane announced his ability TO
help himself. Madalein's misfortune
proved timely event; for Il must be
acknowledged, to the disparagement Of
human nature, that when called on 10
assist Is feIlowman In distress. and ar
rves. armed with sympathy and support,
II doesn't relish the joke Of being cheat
ed out OF is legitimate fun. So Mr..
Vsne, refusing TO enact the hero OF his
own tragedy. Miss Grey kIndly stepped,
or rather fell In, and took his place. and
was accordingly borne home In the arms
Of the staiwsrt farmers; her lover fol-
lowing. envying in the rear. But Miss
Grey soon recovered, and was able to
make her appearance at the tea table,
and listened with great interest to Mr..
Vane's account Of his ride. strange to
say, however he was entirely silent on
the subject Of his catastrophe. "But ]
suppose" said Mary, "you became in.
sensible, poor fellow! as soon as you
were thrown" Mr.. Vane certainly did
not look like a man who had just mel
with serious accident; his face was ra-
diaut with happiness. for did she not
love himl Miss Grey pleaded an excuse
to retire early, aud vane had the parlor
fire to himself that evening. Ah! what
delicious waking dreams, were his before
that Ere. "She loves me, she loves
me-" softly sang his heart. Even 10
that blissiul hour his grateful remem-
brsnce took In Phebe, with more affec-
ton than usually falls to the lot Of hor-
ses, however worthy they may be. Not
alone because, the benevolent over
howing's OF bis heart felt kindly die
posed to all Gods creatures. but because
Of allsthose creatures, Phebe had been
the one to bring about this blessed rev.
eIation.
Our hero's dreams, when he sought
HE pillow, that night, were OF the days
Of chivalry, and Journeys, ~ which Miss
Grey reiQned Queen OF Love, and Beau.
ty and Mr.. Vane, enacted the r.k, oI

crowned by besuteous queen OF love.

his opinions known up TO this time was
in bad taste. For one. he would not
,ruckle to such a proceeding, u the
President did so.
The Committee rose. when the bill
was reported TO the House, the pre-
vious question was called. and, after a
few attempts at fllibustering, the
House adjourned.
There is probably ne doubt that the
President is about to relerse the Free
State prisoners in Kansas and remove
Lecompt and Cato, for political effect.

The Sheriff and the widow.

An Alabama paper tells a good story Of
which Serifr s. is the hero, as follows:-
Court was in session and amid the multi
plicity of business which crowded upon him
at term time, he stopped at the door of a
beautiful widow, who was yet on the sunny
side of thirty, who by the way had often be-
slowed melting glances upon the Sheriff
aforesaid. He was admitted, and soon the
widow appeared: the confusion and delight
which the arrival of her visitor had occa-
stoned set off to q greater advantage than
usual the captivating charms of widow M.
Madam said the matter-of-fact Sheriff
." have an attachment for YOU
A deeper blush than usual mantled the
checks of the fair widow-with downcast
eyes whose glances were centered upon her
beautiful feet half concealed by her flowing
drapery, gently patting the floor, see with
equal candor replied:
:" Sir. the attachment is reciprocal
For sometime the Sheriff maintained an as
tonished silence at last he said:
"Madam, will you proceed to CourtT
Proceed to Court replied the lady, with
merry laugh; then shaking her beautiful
head she added, "Sir, though this is Leap
Year, will not take advantage Of the Ii
cense therein granted to my sex, and there
fore greatly prefer that you should PROCEED
TO couRrp
"But Madam, the Justice is waiting"
Let him wait; | am not disposed to hur-
ry matters in such an unbecoming manner;
aud besides, sir, when the ceremony is per-
formed | wish you to understand that |
prefer a Minister to Justice Of the Peace
Madam, said he, raising from his chair
with solemn dignity, there is great mis-
take here; my language has been misunder-
stood; the attachment Of which speak was
issued from the Office of Squire c.; com
mauds me to bring you instantly before him.
