hus scolded herself, Kate drew up her figure,
alsed her dropping head, and iattered herself
hat nobody knew she cared. But Harry's eyes
were quick. lie saw the quick blood rush to
her cheeks, the sudden light in her eyes, and
the nervous trembling of her fingers and he
was very, very glad. There had been to him
an inexplieable reserve in Kate's manner ever
since his return from Europe. Here was the
explanation. She had believed he loved an
other.
Mrs. Austin was sitting on the porch that
pleasant evening doing nothing, when Harry
and Kate came up the walk and stood before
her. Harry erect and manly, beaming with
JOYS Kate, pale and dropping, her eyes fas-
tened to the ground as if she feared to raise
them.
| "Mother,' said Harry, "I love Kate, and
she says she loves me, but she fears my moth
er will not receive her for daughter
| Mis-. Austin took Kate's hand.
Why, Kate 2'' she asked kindly, ssbecause
you are not rich, and because you are an or
phan and of unknown origin? No, darling
Thank God have no such false pride. Ny
only wish is to see my two children happy
Ii they can make each other SO, they will
make me happy too. My child,'' and she
drew Kate to her bosom, g my child, this has
been my fondest wish for years"

THE Coon CoUNSEL.--A Tartar chief once
| rode with his court on a hunt. A deryish met
| them on the road, and at once exclaimed sue
| cesssully, Whoever gives me a hundred
gold pieces, will give him excellent advice.'
The chief was inquisitive, and asked the der
wish wherein his good counsel consisted.
&C Thou shalt here it, SIR" answered the der
wish, when thou promsest that the hundred
pieces shall be delivered to me.'' The chief
gave him the sum, and the dervish said, with
warming voice, &c Attempt nothing until you
have reflected maturely on the consequences.

The attendants of the chief laughed and
ridicued the advice of the derviSh, for which |
he paid so dearly. Meanwhile the chief pre- |
nounced different opinion. &C The good adj |
vice." said he, (which he has given me, is
indeed most ordinary rule of prudence but
although it is SO universal, it is the least obey
ed and probably on this account the deryish |
impaired it to me so dearly. In future, it shall |
never escape my memory. 1t shall be intelli-
gibly inscribed over all the doors of the pal
acc, on the walls of my apartments, and on all |
my furniture"
After this period, an ambitious stakeholder |
resolved to remove the chief, and possess him
self of the throne. He bribed court physi-
clan at great sum and he promised to bleed |
tho chief, as occasion might permit, with a
poisoned lancet.
Such an occasion soon offered. But as the |
was about TO raise the silver bowl, |
which was to be the receptacle of the blood,
the words sc Attempt nothing till you have |
reflected maturely on the conseduences,''
struck his eyes. He was startled, and, with
visible anxiety, laid aside the poisoned lancet,
and took one of another kind.
The chief perceived IL, and asked why he
had laid aside the lancet. Receiving the
answer, that it had blunt point, he desired
to examine it while the agitation of the phys
clan seemed remarkable. When the physician
delayed to present it to him, the chief sprang
on his feet, and exclaimed, GA candid con- |
tession can only rescue your life. This appi-
rent anxiety renders you suspicious
The physician fell at the feet OF the chief
and confessed the conspiracy against his life,
which the warning inscription on the silver
bowl had deprived him OF the power to exc
cute.
"Haye paid the dervish,' said he "too
dearly for his advice ?''
He granted the life of the physician, and
commanded the stakeholder to he stronghold
Ali sought the dervish everywhere, that he
might reward him yet more.
