much it is in his power to do for you, if you please

you have told me so often enough. But I am not 
going to play toady to anybody. I speak and act 
as I am, and as to money, I gueBs Mr. Joseph

with her misfortune and restoring to him his 
plighted faith, assnring him that she could never 
consent to become a dug, a helpless charge upon 
a young inun of fair prospects, who had his own 
way to make in the world. Many days elapsed be¬ 
fore she received a reply to this letter, It came 
at la3t, cold but kind. It assured her of bis love, 
his sorrow for her calamity, which was one to 
himself as well as to her. Had he the means of 
maintaining her, nothing should keep them apart, 
but as it was, he felt that she had decided wisely, 
and he was grateful to her for her consideration 
towards him. The time might yet come, when he 
could ask, as a favor, the privilege of becoming her 
protector, but she must always remember him aB a 
sincere friend. 
The poor, wounded heart flattered and drooped 
awhile, and then grew strong again. The proud, 
independent spirit rose triumphant over human 
weakness, and when, but a short time afterwards, 
Philip Noble offered to her acceptance all that 
he had to give, a manly heart and a strong arm, 
she gave him her heart with gratitude. He knew 
how Bhe had been tried; he did not ask for her 
wholo heart. She was dearer to him for her afflic¬ 
tion, and he donbted not that a true heart's devo¬ 
tion conld, in time, obliterate the past, or at least 
rob it of its bitterness. And so it proved. 
But they were not destined long to know pros¬ 
perity. Mr. Noble, who was a mechanic, took 
into his confidence a man whose mechanical abili¬ 
ty and shrewdness he expeoted would be a great 
advantage to him in perfecting an invention, on 
which he had for several years spent much time 
and money. There was but one thing which seem¬ 
ed in the way ot its completion, and he hoped that 
patient perseverance would yet compaBs it. This 
man, or serpent rather, saw at once the difficulty 
and its remedy, but kept his own counsel. Then 
came delays, pressure for money, and then sick¬ 
ness, and while prostrated with disease, the news 
reached Mr. Noble that his faithless friend, who 
had removed to one of the Western Btat.es, had 
pe rfeeted, and patented in his own name, that which 
had been the labor of hiB life-time, the hope of his 
future. From this misfortune he never recovered. 
He lived an r ' labored, but he was broken in health 
and spirits: his strength and ambitiou were gone, 
and in a few years consumption gave him rest from 
his troubles. The widow supported herself and 
son, out of her earnicis sud the scanty remnant of 
her property. She had named him Thilif for his 
father, and Lansing for the early dream of her 
girlhood. He was the hope and joy of bis moth¬ 
er's heart. Inheriting from her a sensitive, affec¬ 
tionate and refined nature, he had combined with 
it the manly energy and generous frankness of his 
father. 
school, were amusing themselves in playing a 
duet upon the piano, and conversing together in 
low tones. One was Lizzie or Lilly Turner, the 
pretty, fair-haired Bisier of Master Richard. or as 
she generally calls him, “Brother Lance.” The 
other was Othelia Betake, a schoolmate who had 
come to pass the vacation with her. 
“ I say, Lil!” was the sound which broke in upon 
their peaceful occupation, "do stop that racket an 
instant and listen to me. Do you know that 
Uncle Richard 1b coming out here to stay a week 
soon, and go hunting, and father says if I am 
polite, and amiable, and attentive, and all that yon 
know, to him, that I Bhall have the new gun that I 
have teased so long for, right off, and go every¬ 
where with him. Won’t that be grand?” 
“ I do not know, brother Lance, but 1 suppose 
it ia grand for boys, though bow they can bear to 
use such dangerous things as guns, or to shot! the 
poor little birds and squirrels, I cannot Bee.’’ 
“Ha! hal Spoken just like a girl! Afraid of 
her own shadow. I should like to see a girl once 
that, was not afraid of a gun and conld ride a 
horse without trembling.” 
« Perhaps you may, some day,” replied Ophelia, 
archly “All girlB have not the natural timidity 
of your gentle sister here.” 
With this brief introduction we will leave the 
group for the present, only pausing to give a slight 
description of Mr. and Mrs. Turner, who, though 
not present, must not be passed over. 
Joseph Turner, by toiling early and late, and 
pinching and saving until be had nearly pinch¬ 
ed all the. life and animation out of his thin, 
sharp features and tall frame, at length amassed a 
fortune, but not until be had worn out two faithful 
wives in the struggle, and laid them with three 
short-lived infants in his beautiful lot in Green- 
dale Cemetery. For nearly two years he lived 
alone in his dark and silent town house. Then he 
went away at intervals to spend a Babbath in a 
country town. He improved visibly, in bis ap¬ 
pearance at this time, and when at length, after a 
complete renovation in the old house, he installed 
therein 86 mistress, the young and beautiful 
Elenob Lansing, people were not so much sur¬ 
prised as he expected they wonld be. People said, 
after a while, that she ruled him as entirely as he 
had done the first two Mrs, Turners, bnt how 
should people know? 
It is only necessary to say of Mrs. Turner that, 
«s might he conjectured from this circumstance, 
she was ambitious, and beauty was to her but the 
means of obtaining a desirable end. The spoiled 
and beautiful daughter, the adored and indulged 
sister, had blossomed into the proud, designing 
woman, the arbitrary but weak-minded mother. 
“Do lay aside your book, my son! The clock is 
on the stroke of ten, and yon look weary. You 
have not talked to me any this eveDiDg.” 
“Yes, mother, in one moment, but these Latin 
verbs are so difficult they have absorbed my whole 
attention. There, I will put it away and get my 
cash book; I want to tell you how maeh I shall 
have in the bank by Ne w Years. T feel confident 
I can begin to go to school in the spring. 
“Ah! I fear not so soon as that, my son. But 
do not be discouraged, it will not be long. You 
know you were to lay by enough sw<hat you could 
afford to clothe yourself welJ^ famish the necessary 
books and pay yonr tuition for one year, and it 
takeB quite a large sum for that.” 
“But mother, I have some good news to tell you 
that you do not guess. To-night when Mr. Par¬ 
ker was in bia counting-room paying off the hands, 
he motioned to me to wait till the last. When he 
handed me thia bill, he asked how much I had been 
able t.o lay up since I worked for him. I told him, 
and he seemed surprised. He thought I must 
have been very economical, and should have 
enough to go into business at twenty- ne, if I keep 
on as I have begun. I then told him to what I had 
appropriated my savings. He smiled and said he 
thought, that with a little additional experience, 
my education would be sufficient for business pur¬ 
poses. I told him 1 should notbe satisfied with that, 
and as I wished to improve my time when I di d go to 
school, I had employed what leisure I bad in stu¬ 
dying some of the higher branches in the hope of 
entering in advance. The more common branches 
I think I pretty well mastered at the public school. 
He thought about, it a moment, butseemed rather 
pleased. At length he said that I probably knew 
tha^ he was to enter the Legislature this winter, 
and he had thoughts of using his influence to get 
me the situation of Messenger. The pay is, as you 
know, much better than what I now receive, and 
if I could have it through the winter I think I 
shonld be sure of entering the Academy in the 
spring. I told him so, and thanked him warmly 
for his kindness. He is a kind friend, is he not, 
mother?” 
The mother’s eyes glistened as she replied to her 
boy, in whose open and animated countenance 
hope, energy and honor were clearly mirrored.— 
And then she half sighed, as she thought how his 
father would have rejoiced in his manly youth, that 
father, whose prospects were blghted and whose 
life was shortened by poverty and the vain strug¬ 
gle to rise against contending misfortunes. 
Mrs. Noble was the daughter of a poor clergy¬ 
man, and in her youth had resided in a pleasa-1 
country town not many miles from the oily where 
she now lived. Bhe had received a much better 
education than often lAUs to the lot of persons in 
tbo same circamstanoes, and possessed a great de¬ 
gree of natural refinement. Her father, to eke out 
his small salary, opened a select school for the 
sons and daughters of the wealthier class of citi¬ 
zens, and thus she shared their society and their 
studies. Pretty, lady-like and affectionate, Grace 
Lee was one to be loved, for she loved everything 
that lived. But there was one, a schoolmate, that 
she learned to love better than all, and at the early 
age of seventeen she was betrothed to the son of a 
wealthy farmer. They were separated. He went 
to College, Gbacb's father died, and she went to 
live with a maiden aunt. Wnile riding on horse¬ 
back one day alone, aa she often did, she attempted 
to dismount, and her dress becoming entangled in 
the stirrup, she fell and injured her ancle, so that 
after great suffering, amputation became necessary. 
No one can lull her menu I agony, *>bi.*h far ex¬ 
ecuted ilia pLjbiL'^1, tiv this *• cir. A cork loot n 
some degree made good the loss, but Grace must 
submit to life-long lameness. 
As soon as she recovered, the generous ghl 
wrote immediately to her lover, acquainting him

THE TREASURES OF THE DEEP, 
[About twenty-five years sioce, Fblkia Humans cast 
upon the Bea of literature, the following short poem. The 
recent loss of the Central America, and the fearful Incidents 
connected therewith, render the lines peculiarly applicable 
to the present time.] 
Yet more, the depths have more! What wealth untold. 
Far down, and shining through their stillness lies! 
Thou hast the starry grim a, the burning gold, 
Won from ten thousand royal argosies. 
Sweep o’er thy spoils thou wild and vmtbful main! 
Earth claims not these again. 
Yet more, the billows sud tho depths have more! 
High hearts and brave are gathered to thy breastl 
They hear not now the booming waters roar. 
The battle thunders will not break their rest. 
Keep thy red gold and gems, thou stormy gravel 
Give back the true and brave! 
Give back the lost and lovely! those for whom 
The place was kept at board and hearth so long, 
The prayer went up through midnight's breathless gloom, 
And the vain yearning woke ’midst festal song. 
Hold fast thy buried isles, thy towers o'ertbrown, 
But all is not thine own. 
To thee the love of woman hath gone down, 
Dark flow thy tides o’er manhood's noble head, 
O’er youth’s bright locks and beauty’s flowery crown; 
Yet must thou bear* voice—Restore the dead! 
Earth shall reclaim bei precious things from thee!— 
Restore the dead, thou sea!

THE TWO NAMESAKES 
BY CAROLINE A. HOWARD, 
Chapter I.—Tableaux. 
It is a bachelor’s apartment, yon would know at 
a glance, aud without the presence of its occnpant 
to attost it He is a rich one, too, as is shown in 
the elegance, united with taste, which gives to the 
room such an air of luxurious comfort The heavy 
damask curtains which rauffie the windows, effec¬ 
tually shut out every breath of this keen Novem¬ 
ber air, and the clear fire in the open grate, aa it 
leaps and crackles, and chases the shadows hither 
and thither over the fuenitnre, and the soft, rich 
carpet, seems to exult :u the thought that of all 
the cold, and want, aud misery with which the 
city streets are thronging, not one atom can enter 
here. Did I say misery / Ah! that comes oftencst 
from within, and bars of gold cannot always keep 
it from the heart. 
A table strewn with papers, is neat the centre of 
the room, a bookoase filled with books and various 
curiosities, stands open with a step-ladder before 
it, on which a book ia lying as if waiting till it 
shall suit the pleasure of its owner to restore it to 
its place. And he? He reclines in velvet gown, 
slippers and smoking cap, in that large, easy chair, 
with his head thrown back and his feet resting 
(after the fashion of American gentlemen) on the 
low mantlepiece. Hia eyes, hslf closed, seem to 
watch the wreaths of smoke which, curllDg upward 
from his cigar, veil the ceiling in a sort of dissolv¬ 
ing eloud-work. A large Newfoundland dog, in¬ 
dulging in a revery of hiB own, rests his muzzle on 
his fore paws and moves only to give an occasional 
wink at his master, aa if he would say:—“We un¬ 
derstand each other, and know how to take oom- 
fort.” 
Richard Lansing is a lawyer by profession, and 
has also meddled much in politics. He inherited 
from his father a large property, which has greatly 
increased in value, and has made large additions 
to it by his own exertions. He was the successful 
candidate for Mayor, at the last election, and has 
the reputation of being a benevolent and active, 
bnt Bhrewd and somewhat haughty man. His 
thoughts must be pleasant to-night, for he smiles 
a self-c-omplaisant smile, and languidly droops his 
eyelids as if soothed by some sweet reflection.— 
The fire-light fades and flickers, till only a few 
gleaming coaLs remain behind the grate, through 
which they peer ’.ike the eyes of some madman's 
vision. His cigar burns out, and he rouses himself 
slightly to throw it into the ashes. Again he 
dreams, and a shadow, darker and more gloomy 
than any other within the room, crosses his mind 
and his face, and muttering angrily, yet half de- 
precatingly, “Confound you! I never would, had 
it not been for Elenor, but it is done and can’t be 
helped,” he starts to his feet, throws a hasty and 
searching glance around him,6hrugs hie shoulders 
as if with cold, and running his slender, white 
hand through his hair, in which is here and there 
a thread of grey, begins rapidly to pace the floor.

My third you will own to be very queer,

And ’tis found at the head of the Nile.

Chapter II.—The Candidates. 
“ Well, Philip, how passed the examination to¬ 
day? You look so animated that I venture to 
surmise that you were successful.” 
“If by success, you mean that I entered in ad¬ 
vance, you are right. There were five others — 
three little boys, and one large one, besides 
myself; and I was the only one who entered the 
closing year. The other boy seemed very much 
disappointed. I felt sorry for him.” 
“ And who was he, and why was not his chance 
(is good as yours?” 
“ I think he gave bis name as R. Lansing Turn- 
br. He is most likely a relative of the Mayor’s. 
He had evidently been studying for the examina¬ 
tion; bnt his mind seemed confused, and he made 
several bad blunders. His appearance did not 
much prepossess me in favor of his acquirements, 
for to tell the truth he was dressed and behaved 
like a dandy of twenty-five, when he is not as tall 
8.3 myself, is slender and fair, and does not look 
more than fourteen, though he gave his age as six¬ 
teen. I was quite surprised to find him hut a year 
younger than myself.” 
So absorbed was Philip in his description, that 
he had failed to notice the pallor of his mother’s 
countenance, and perhaps even an acute observer 
might not have detected tt. 
“But I must be off to Mr. Parker; he will be 
anxious to hear of my good fortune. Shall I give 
him your respect?, mother?” 
“ Yes, Philip, and thank him once more for hiB 
almost fatherly kindness to you.”

WIT AND SENTIMENT 
Among the advertisements in a late London pa¬ 
per, we read that “Two sisters want washing!” 
Wr should often be ashamed of our best actions, 
if the world knew the real motives which pro¬ 
duced them. 
Compliments are the coin that we pay a man to 
his face—sarcasms are what we pay him out with 
behind his back. 
A writer in Blackwood says that every man 
who is not a monster mathematician or a mad 
jihilosopher, ia the slave of some woman or other. 
In the worst of times there is still more cause 
to complain of an evil heart, than an evil cor¬ 
rupt world. 
The “eye of the law” has become ao weak from 
the want of proper practice in the different courts, 
that it ia going to advertise for a pupil. 
A woman of the world was heard to say —“ The 
state of widowhood Is inconvenient; for one must 
assume all the modesty of a yonng girl, without 
being able to feign her ignorance.” 
Swift held the doctrine that there were three 
places where a man should be allowed to speak 
without contradiction, viz:— ‘‘the bench, the pul¬ 
pit and the gallows.” 
A laborer reading a journal to his wife, instead 
of “ The President was received with three huzzas,” 
pronounced the last word “hnssies.” “ Moreshame 
for him!” exclaimed tho indignant and scandaliz¬ 
ed lady. 
There is a good story told of a young man who 
had a light and incipient mustache. One day, 
while fingering tho few hairs, he said to Harry— 
“ Hadn’t I better dye this mustache?” “ Oh, no!” 
replied .Harry; “let it alone, and it will die of it¬ 
self.” 
A merchant was, the other day, reproving the 
keeper of alow groggery for his disreputable mode 
of getting a living. “ I get my living as respecta¬ 
bly as you do,” said the rumseller. “Don’t yon 
live by your bargains?” “Yes.” “Well, so do I 
by my frar-gains!” 
The aborigines of Australia have a notion that 
after death they rise again in the natural world, 
and become white people. They are now very 
fond of intoxicating liquors—so fond, that if told 
they will soon die, they reply—“Me don’t care; 
me jump up again white man, with plenty of six¬ 
pence for drink.” 
A pater, giving an account of Toulouse, France, 
says:—“It is a large town, containing sixty thou¬ 
sand inhabitants built entirely of brick /” This is 
equalled only by a known description of Albany, 
which runs thus“ Albany la a city of eight thou¬ 
sand houses, and twenty-five thousand inhahtiants 
with most of their gable ends to the street /” 
“By George! I’ve a good mind to say that I 
won’t go to the Academy at all. True, thanks to 
having studied with all my might, I have got in, 
and Bhonld have thought quite honorably, if a con¬ 
ceited little upstart of a fellow had not gone ahead 
of me.” 
“ ■'■ bat is the matter, my dear? I did not know 
that yon wished to enter the closing year. You 
could easily have done so by studying a little 
harder.” 
“ I know it, and that is what vexes me. To think 
that a rough looking fellow, dressed in grey, like a 
Quaker, passed such a splendid examination in 
Latin, Geometry, and Arithmetic, as threw me 
clear into insignificanc e, and the stupid old Facul¬ 
ty said that I had better remain one term in the 
next lower class, to review.” 
“Did yon know who lie was, RicitARn? Is it 
any one with whom yon are acquainted?” gravely 
asked bis uncle, who had be^n listening to the 
conversation of the mother and son. 
“ Acquainted with him? I guess not. Farmers’ 
boys and tailors' apprentices sre not the sort of 
company that I keep.” 
“Lansing, Lansing, I am surprised at, you!” 
chimed in Mrs. Ti kner. “ You should speak more 
respectfully to yonr uncle, and yon should not let 
your pride get the better of your good breeding.” 
“ Mother, Uncle Richard asked me a question, 
and if you have cot put it out of roy head, I will 
try to answer it. Yon asked who this fellow was; 
his name was Noddle, or Noble, or some such 
thing. Ah! now I have it, Philip Noele. I nev¬ 
er saw him before, and almost wish I might never 
see him again.” 
“A truly Christian, not to say gentlemanly sen¬ 
timent, and worthy of the promising yonng man 
who uttered it,” veplied Uncle Richard, with some 
bitterness and unusnal severity, as he arose and 
left the room. 
“ Lansing Turner!” exclaimed hia mother, its 
the door closed after her brother, “I believe you 
will mortify me to death, and effect your own de¬ 
struction beside;-. Have 1 not told yon, often and 
often, how much depends on yonr behavior to¬

Oat of the dusty city, on towards the blooming 
fields and waving forests that skin the river banks 
for miles, enlivened by many a cottage home, 
many a beautiful country-seat, winds the road to 
Renwood. The place is old and the house, though 
in excellent preservation, bears the marks of age. 
It is, in Bhort, a manor house of the olden time, 
and was purchased some ten years ago, by its 
present owner, of the last representative of the 
ancient but decayed family of the Rensillerr. 
Reclining on a sofa in the large and handsomely 
furnished parlor, at the same hour in which we 
surveyed the last scene, was a youth apparently 
just in his teens. His delicate and girlish features, 
and slender figure wore in striking contrast to his 
dreBa, which was that of one twice his years, and 
was of the finest materiaU. The frock coat, large 
Byron collar, and the elaborate gold fob-chain 
which dangled from his vest, combined with his 
air of studied negligence to give him much the ap¬ 
pearance of a miniature man of the world. This 
was the only son of Richard Lansing’s only sis¬ 
ter, and by his proud and doting mother had been 
named for hia rich bachelor uncle. There were 
three reasons for this:—First, from gome natural 
aileotion for her brother; second, becaotie that, 
brother W8A rich and influential, one of whom she 
might lie proud; third, because being go, and a 
bachelor, there was no oue ia whom Ir- would bo 
so likely to interest himself as his dear Elenor’* 
darling Bon. 
There were two other occupants of the room 
which held this important personage. Two little 
girls, I believe they were called young ladies at
