Notwithstanding the clear, beautiful sky
and genial sun which blessed US last week !,
Saturday brought us gloomy heaven and
the commencement Of the heaviest snow we
have had for several years. The snow fell
constantly until Sunday night, and Mon
day morning it was about two feet in depth
Bright and early the merry sleigh bells
made music on our streets, and frolicksome
men and boys amused themselves by toss
ing snow balls. A real, genuine wintry
snow rejuvenates age and makes us all feel
like boys again.

The RfgHnt Spirit.

The following letter was received few
days since by the gentleman to whom It is
addressed. It is in response to one from
him, informing the Messrs. Abbots, that
nothern exchange could not be obtained
here, except at enormous rates, and that
consequently he could not remit the amount
of a business transa ction as was stipulated
when the account was made. Il will be
seen that the Messrs. Abbot fully appreci-
ate the circumstances which Influenced Mr..
Harman's action, and manifest spirit of
genuine confidence truly commendable in
time when every mans suspicious are a.
reused as to his neighbours solvency. This
conduct of the Messrs. Abbot is the more
notable, frSln the fact that the parties live
in different and conflicting sections Of the
Union, which are on the eve Of discovering
the ling that has bound them together for
so many years. Should the same spirit
that pervades the letter below, control the
course of all the business men Of the North
it would go far if not to avert, to temper
the impending political and financial calarn-
ity thai is now lowering over US. We
heartily trust that '.the people are begin
ming to see the evil Of bad counsellors," and
will lose no time in correcting the fearful
error they have committed in the election

Staunton, Va,
Dear Ser Your favor Of the 1 th inst
is at hand We find it too late to telegraph
to bank, as the note went through banks in
Concord and Boston, and also collection
house, and as we could not reach the differ
ent channels without double expense Of
protest, and probably not in time, which in
these times cannot affect your credit, and
we would rather you would let your note
lay. if you can use the money, and allow us
interest until such time as suits you.
We believe the banks ordered no prote 81
on our paper, but are not certain. and We
would like you to consider we shall not be
surprised at q protest now. We do not
wish our customers to suffer such ruinous
rates as exchange now brings
We are Union men, and join with you in
hoping the country may pass through this
ordeal. The people are beginning to see
the evil Of bad counsellors.

But for the sorrows Of the heart, where
would the affections find their strength .
Our virtues, like the aromatic shrubs of
the forest, only give out their sweets when
their leaves are bruised and tramped. He
who has not felt sorrow may be scarcely
said to have known love: since the most
precious joys Of the soul arise from sympa-
thies that are seldom known till they are
sought, and never sought till they are nec-
essary to soothe an infrmity or satisfy a
need

The Little Quakeress Who Was
Desperately i'm Love.

An amusing matrimonial story is told of
the olden time in New England. 1t so fell
out that two young people became very
much smtten with each other, as young
people do. The young woman's father was
wealthy Quaker-the young man was
respectable The father could stand 10
such union, and resolutely opposed it, and
the daughter dare not dsobey openly. She
'met him by moonlight" when she pre-
tended never to see him. and she pined and
wasted away. She was really in love-a
state of sighs and tears, which women Of
tener reach in imagination than reality. -
Still the father remained memorable.
Time passed on, and the rose on Mary's
damask cheek passed off She let no con-
sealment, like worm in the bud, prey on
her damask cheek, however, but when tho
father asked her why she pinned, she always
told him. The old gentleman was wfd-
over, and loved his daughter dearly. Had
it been widowed mether who had Mary
10 charge, widows pride would not have
given way before the opportunities of
daughter. Men are not. however, stubborn
in such matters, and when the father saw
that his daughters heart was really set up
on the match, he surprised her one day by
breathing out
MARY, rather than NOPE to death, thee
had better marry as soon as thee chooses,
and whom the pleases."
And then what did Mary? Wait till the
birds of the air had told her swain OF the
charge. or until the father had time to alter
his mind again =? Not bit of it. She
clapped her neat. plain bonnet on her head,
and walked directly to the house of her in
tended, as the street would carry her. She
walked into the house without knocking
for knocking was not then fashionab le-and
she found the family jnst sitting down to
dinner. - -r
Some little commotion was exhibited at
so unexpected and so unusual an appari-
ton as the heiress in the widows cottage
but she needed it not John looked up in
quiringly. She walked directly ap to bin,
and took both his hands into hers.
John said she, 'father says may
have thee" ID
And John got up directly from the dim
ner table, and went to the parsons. In
just twenty-five minutes they were man and
wife.
