Miss LANE AT THE BEDFORD SpRINGs-
Whilst aludng to the toilets of the ladies, we may
remark that the three ladies who pay the least at
tcntion to the requirements Of fashion, are the
Presidents ncicc, Miss Lane, the daughter OF Sen
ator Bright, and Miss Ouslcey, daughter OF 0'r
VIM. Ouslcy Miss Lane is of very neat person
and figure, but is always attired with great smp-
city and good taste. She seems to discard all
jcwclry except earrings and brcastpin' and is the
last person you would take to be the leading lady
Of the Presidents household, In her manners
she is free and courteous to every one, without
particle of pride or hauteur Mis-" Bright has a
bright, good hunorcd countcnance, and an easy
graceful manner, equally free from haateur, and
as Democratic in her intercourse with the VISITORS
as her companion, Miss Lane. Her pleasing man
ncrs render her one of the leading bellies OF the
season. They seem to have come here to ENJOY
themselves, and may be found strolling on the
mountains in the morning, promcnadng or riding
out in the afternoon and evening, and joining IN
t.the waltz or quadrillc at night; and do not con
slider it sacriegcous to be seen twice in one day IL
! the same dress.

ENCOUNTER WITH A RATTLEsNAKE.-A cor
respondent of the Salisbury Waterman, writing
from Lcnoir, Waauga county, narratcs the follow
ing incident:
As Mr. J. NJ Spainhour, of this place, was riding
aIonu near the foot OF Blue Ridge on the north
side in Watauga county, and the river of the
same name on the seth ult., he had the following
singular and rather dangerous encounter with
rattlesnake:
As there was light mist Mr. S. had his UNI
brella spread above him. He was riding near a
bank on the right hand, higher than his head, oc-
casioncd by digging away the earth below in gra-
ding the road. Suddenly he heard the r1ng OF the
rattIcsnake in the direction Of the bank and look
ing around saw the snake in the act of spring'ne
toward him. 1t alighted, however, on the top Of
his umbrella fastening his fangs in the cloth and
! tearing out his hold. His weight bore down tht
umbrella, and he fell off SO near the lower cage
the road, that in an instant he was over the stone
wall supporting the road, and glidcd out OF sigh
! in the thickct below.

heard Of the outrage he started at once IN pursuit.

accused him of the theft. 30 '.-
The drovcr admitted the truth Of the soft
impeachmcnt-sai he had been a long time from
home, was sorcIy tempted, end in an unguarded
moment Of frenzy puroincd the kiss but that he
had not damaged the woman in the smallest
rartcul;r-was very sorry-thought it was no
matter to make great ado about, and therefore
begged to be excused
The husband finally concluded that this was the
RIGHT view of the matter, and agreed TO settle 1t
uron the receipt Of $j for his days ride This
being satisfactory the drOvcr handed a $40
bill and received S. in change, But when the
ac,,ricycd benedict returned home and consulted
his detcctor he found the bill Il counterfeit lie

DOES OHE's STYLE OF WALKIEG INDICATE
lis CHARACTER Professor Fowler says
that those whose motions are awkward yet
easy, possess much efficiency and positiyeness
Of character yet lack polish and just in pro-
portion Us they become refined in mind will
their mode of carriage be correspondugly
improved. \ short and quick step indicates
brisk and active, but rather contracted
mind, whereas those who take long steps
generally have long heads yet if their stepa
be slow, they will make comparatively little
progress, while those step is long and quick
will accomplish proportionately much, and
pass most OF vleir competitors on the high
way OF life. Their heads and plans too will
partake Of the same far reaching character
evinced in their carriage Those who slut
or draw their heels, drawl in everything
While those who walk with springing, bound.
ing step, abound in a mental snap and spring.
Those whose walk is mincing, affected aud
artificial, rarely, il ever, accomplish much
whereas those who walk carelessly, that is,
naturally, ere just what they appear to be,
aud pu. on nothing for outside show. Those
who in watkins, roll from side to side, lack
directness of character, ard side every way,
according, to circumstances whereas those
who take bee-lne-that is, whose body
moves neither TO the right nor left but straight
forward-have Il corresposding directness of
urpose, aud oneness OF character those also
who teeter up and down when they walk,
rising an inch or two every STEP will have
many corresponding ups and downs in life,
because of their irregularty of character and
feeling. Those, tco who make a great ado
in walking, will make much needless parade
in everything else, and hence spend great
amount of useless steam in all they undertake
yet accomplish little whereas those who walk
easily, expend little strength in walking. will
accomplish great results with a little strength
both mentally and physically. In short
every other individual has his own peculiar
mode Of moving, which exactly nccords with
bis mental character so that, so FIR as you
can see such modes, you can dccipher such
outline OF character.

RICHARD HOFFMAN.
A TALE OF LOVE AND RETRIEUTIoS.


Rachel Bently the lovely daughter OF one
Of the richest merchants OF London; having
married George Hoffman, one of her fathers
clerks. during the old mans absence in India,
he on his return disinherited her and dischar-
ged George. The latter being overwhelmed
by disappointment, took to drink, and in a
few years became habitual drunkard; his
wife supporting herself and two children-
Richard, now q fine boy in his thirteenth year
and Mary, d sweet child Of six-by selling,
one after another, the remnants OF her once
costly wardrobe and jewelry.
On the last day of December OF the year
in which our story opens, Rachel WAS without
food, light or fire, and that very day the rent
must be paid.
Little Mary was moaning for bread, and
CRYING with cold.
The drunken father wns at the dran-shop.
The agorized mother has but one more ar
ticle of value left-a ocket containing lock
Of her fathers hair. She had hoped to be
able to save this; the last memento Of her
once happy home. But goaded by little Ma
rvs cries Tor food she seized the locket, rush
ed to pawnbroker's obtained few shillings,
put by the amount OF the rent and with the
rest purchased q little bread and milk for her
children, aud then set out, with them, to visit
the old confidential clerk of her father, Peter
Mangles, who had ever been kind to her, to
consult him about sending Richard away from
the communicating influences with which he
was surrounded.
On returning home late on New Y ears
eve from her fruitless visit, for the old clerk
was not at home, Rachel discovered that her
| husband had been home and stolen the sum
she had put by for the rent from the place
where she had concealed it, and gone oil again
TO "The Grown and Magpie" tavern TO waste
| il in drunkenness. Little Mary, chilled and
hungry, began to cry for food, and the suffer
ing mother, in hopes of regaining portion
of the money taken by her husband, set ou'
with her children to the haunt OF vice whithe
George Hoffman had gone.
There was great crowd at the bar o
"Ths Crown and Magpie." The landlady-'
stout, vulgar looking woman, with red ribbons
in her cap, profusion Of false curls heav.
| gold chain round her neck, and numerous
rings on her fat fngers-was busily engages
10 pouring out gin for her customers; the re
gular ones she was treatng-for IL must no
be forgotten that il was New Years eve.
Such was the scene OF vice and dissipation
which met the eye and siekended the hear
Of Rachel when, with little Mary in her arms
and protected by the presence Of her son, SD
ventured into the house.
"Is Mr.. Holman here?' she inquired
family.
The question had to be repeated severs
times before she could get an answer.
