But Frank had an indomita indomitable - ble indomitable spirit, trials and difficulties, and disappointments could not arrest the purposes which, alter due delibera deliberation, - tion, deliberation, he had formed in his soul. The coldness and neglect of his former companions only nerved him more firmly to the accomplishment ol his duties. ..Several months thus passed. He had once sought to see Miss Temple Templeton, - ton, Templeton, but had been repulsed, and then convinced of her fickleness and sel fishness, he only sought to banish her image from his heart. There was one circumstance which probably assisted much in promoting ihat ob ject. He visited frequently at Squire Rockwell s, where a kindly welcome always awaited him, and in the so ciety of the old man's daughter, he passed many delightlul evenings. Alice was almost the only your.g la dy of his former acquaintance who received him with the same cordiali ty as formerly. Insensibly she began to usurp that place in his affections which Miss Templeton had former filled. . A year had now elapsed since Frank Manly entered upon his new occupation. His diligence and in tegrity had won for him the good opinion of bis employer, and his sal arv at the end of six months, had been doubled. He could now. sup port himself in comfortand still lay a portion of his earnings for his mother s use. If he ever regretted the change he was forced to make his habits, he had at least the sat isfaction of having a good con science. ; "I have a proposition to make to vou, said Air.

'But what does it all mean, dear Mr. Rockwell? said Miss Templeton. K 'It means,' said Mr. Rockwell, 'that Frank Manly has too proud a spirit to consent to be a drone in society. He found that he could not support himself by his profession, and he determined like a noble fellow, as he is, with his own two hands to earn a livelihood, rather than eat the bread of dependence. Mr. Kockwell then related the conversation he had with Mr. Manly, and the advice he had given. As hei concluded, Frank turned, and obser- ving his friends bowed in recognition. Squire Rockwell and his daughter Alice returned his salutation with a cordial smile, but the three young ladies deigned not to notice him, and urned away with a contemptuous augh. Mr. Rockwell noticed "the action and said: My dear young ladies I am sorry to see you display the spirit which you have. You have imbibed alto gether a false notion of gentility. will not argue with you, but 1 wi ten you that the time will come when the most imperious beauty in the city may be proud to win a smile from Frank Manlv.' Mr. Rockwell said no more, but soon retired leaving the young ladies to discuss the subject to themselves Frank Manly was a voung man of good abilities, tine address and I I WW. nanosome person.

For herself, she did not repine, but for that son's sake, and on his account alone, she was grieved. The darling wish of her heart was to see him rank high in the world's esteem, and to take his place among those gifted minds which have adorned our country's annals for, with a mother's fond partiality, she imagined him possessed of ail the highest qualifications of human nature. She sacrificed her comforts and even necessaries to obtain the means to give him an education And Frank was not unmindful of his mother's sacrifices; he applied him self dilligentlv, and mas'ered his studies with surprising ease. At the age of twenty, he graduated, and commenced the study of the law. with an eminent barrister,, with whom he continued two years, when he passed his examination with ere dit and was admitted to practice. rank looked lorward, now, to a ca rter of honor and use ulness, and hi sanguine temperament "pictured in the dim future only scenes of tri umph.

Men cared not to trust the young practitioner, when there were older and more experienced -advo cates to be had. I need not go on describe the unvarying monotony the twelve month that followed his admission to the bar. It is but a repetition of the experience of thou sands of young men of our country, who have loolishly cast themselves away upon a profession, and drag a miserable existence, vibrating between hopes and fears; wearying the weary da7S along with murmur- ings and repinings. But Frank was dinerent in one thing from this class; was not one who would always on repining, and hoping and fear- lor he had a strong spirit and no common intellect.

This man had several sons who hail " become drunkards on the facilities atlorded by their education at home.

Learning this, Mr. Hunt went toa neihbor- ing district for temDeranca vnlnn teer for that particular occasion 1 He then gave out word for a ting, and at the time found his f mee- fr iends and enemies about equal in numbers. This ract prevented any. outbreak, but could not prevent noise. Mr. Hunt mounted his platform and by a lew sharp anecdotes and witty sayings, soon silenced all noise except the sturdy "Bill Myers."

"Look here, Bill Myers, you say that money makes the mare go, do youf "Yes.dat ish just what I say, filish- ter Hunt." Well, Bill Myers, you own and work a distillery, don't youT" inquir ed Mr. Hunt. "Dat ish none of your business. Mishter Hunt.

Yes, Mishter Hunt, dat ish, just what I mean." "Very well; you work a distillery to mane money, ana I lecture on temperance to make money, and as you say, 'Money make the mare go, Bill Myers bring out your mare and I'll bring out mine, and we'll show them together." ' By this time the whole assembly was in a titter of delight, and even Myer's followers' could not repress their merriment at the evident em embarrassment - barrassment embarrassment of their oracle. In the meantime, we must premise that Mr. Hunt knew a large number of the drunkards present, and among them the sons ot Myers himself. . "Bill Mvers, who is that holding himself up by thai tree?" inquired Mr. Hunt, pointing to a young man drunk that he could not stand alone. The old man started, as if stung by an adder, but was obliged reply: "uat ish my son; but what dat, Mishter Hunir' ' . "Good deal of that, Bill Myers, for I guess that son hat been riding your mare, and got thrown, toof1 .

"He has been riding your mare too, and got a tumble?" At this point the old man put op both hands in a most imploring man ner, and exclaimed; "Now, Mishter Hunt, if you won't say any more, I will be still." . This announcement was received with a roar of applause and laughter. from that moment Mr. Hunt had the ground to himself. , The next is trom "i tie country ia Chunks." - Paddy", attending a "Broad brim" convention for the first time, was much astonished and puzzled with at the manner of worship.

The mind, through sympathy of feel ing and association of ideas, often at taches a particular fondness or preju dice to names, from the fact that those names represent things with which our tenderest feelings, and dearest interests are intimately connected and blended Who is there that can refer back to the scenes of his childhood and his youth ful years connected with the place where he first entered upon the stage of existence, and not feel arising in his bo som emotions of the most lively and endearing kind? He goes back, in im agination, and seeks some congenial spot where he can live over again the time that he has there spent in days past and gone. There is that familiar yard, environed with fragrant flowers, whose drooping heads kiss the morning breeze There stands that house, the abode of so many happy hours, now rolled into oblivion; -nnd there is that grove of trees beneath whose foliage so much pleasure and delight have been experienced; and that green carpeted earth, that lays with its expanse to the view, and that seemed to indicate the joyous smile of nature in her gayest mood. Then we cast the e e in another direction and there we behold tho broad bosom of that river whose limpid current rolls on ward, and finally mingles its sparkling waters in old Ocean; on whose borders, decorated in the simple attire of nature, many an interesting event rises in memory S desolate waste, as having occurred in more youthful days. Eve ry incident, often even the most trivial. passes in review before the mind, and excites a thousand livel' associations. whose peculiar effect upon the feelings none can properly realize but those who experience them. Then we recall to our remembrance those with whom we were once intimate and familiar and those on whose friendship and in whose confidence we could rely, and in whose to welfare our own seemed to be blended. But after the lanse of years we visit the same soot, in reality, and how changed, . . . the scene! We see that tho rude hand ! t i of tho destroyer has been there. Time itself has wrought out its revolutions a and its changes, in its onward march; we perceive, perchance, either evident marks of decay and ruin on the one hand, or where the hind of the artisan, or the mechanic has been at work, and in the place of some venerable building, which we held as almost sacred, some other structure now rears up its massive columns. . Ann in that place which wo considered as almost iorbidden ground. we now find something has it.truded and usurped the place; those spreading trees, upon whose pendent boughs toe feathered songster used to warble his merry notes and moke the air vocal with his melod', have been levelled with the earth; that purling stream, where the chrvstal current rolled onward in ma jestic grandeur, who.- bonks were once the play-ground of life" ' summer days. are changed so tbat we scarcely recog nize the spot. 1 hese scenes twine around the heart and seem to be almost an essential part our existence; they arise in the mind, like some oasis in Jhe desert waste, and cheer up our drooping anir- its. They are leaflets torn . from the brightest pages of life's history. We endeavor to recall to our remembrance the ' companions and friends of those blissful days, but where are they now? Some are scattered here and there, up and down the earth; some in one place, and some in another, but as to others the sad and . melancholy misgiving comes, that they are dead! And the long grass and the wild flower wave their gentle tops, and the myrtle wreath encircles the spot where they slumber so well; whilst at the midnight hour the' lone whip-po-wil sends fonb its plain plaintive - tive plaintive notes, and adds to the deep melan melancholy; - choly; melancholy; and the only privilege we now have is at ;willght earliest gleanings, of of wr w or to of can be fast and "with foot8ilentaa the starry dews," to and trr finwmr flVr lhftir lmt rmmain ' m But from all these associations and
