Dr. Warden rubbed his hands in si-

" I wonder if he ever saw the inside

But there was no response.
u That reminds me," said Dr. War-

fortunate name.
" That was a moment of triumph to
the latter; for among all the dross of
this world, he had discovered a real
diamond. When this discovery was
made his object was attained."
Our hero paused.
" And that young man V said the
doctor, eagerly, wiping the perspiration
from his face.
"Was the son of Dr. Ainsworth,"
said our hero, calmly.
"Great heavens!" exclaimed the
doctor, "this is astounding!"
At that instant there was a faint cry
ly believed that if he accepts the from Rose, and upon looking towards
he will rise eventually to the her she had fainted.

"Foine yonngstah; was formerly
intawmate with him,/ said Wagstaff.
MI understand that he will not ac-
cept the office of assistant surgeon.—
He aspires to a professorship, and will
probably visit thefirst medical schools
m Europe, for the pui pose of acquiring
a more perfect knowledge of his profes-
sion. It is of such young men that the
profession has much to hope," continu-
ed the doctor.
" I shall proba" _ him fZ,
travels," added Wagstaff.
While the Warden family were at
breakfast the next morning, Hezekiah
Spike entered and took a seat with
them, although he had formerly fared
with the domestics in the kitchen. All
grew dumb with astonishment save the
elder Miss Warden.
"This is not the kitchen! Hezekiah,"
she said, loftily.
"I am perfectly aware of it!" he
replied calmly.
" You are aware also, I trust, that
we are not in the habit of eating with
our help."
" Perfectly," returned our hero, with
much sang froid.
* I " This is a deuced boah /" exclaimed
Wagstaff.
" Things can't go on so," added Mrs.
Warden, looking over the top of her
spectacles.
Bella poured a cup of coffee and
passed it to Hezekiah.
" I have intruded myself upon your
society for the purpose of relating a
short story," said the latter. "I ask
your patient attention for a few minutes,
and then I will trouble you no more."
"Not many months ago a young
man had occasion to transact some
business in this neighborhood. While
thus engaged, he, by the merest acci-
dent saw your eldest daughter. Dr.
Warden. He was charmed with her
pretty face, and in short completely
captivated. This young man had re-
vived never to marry a woman who
.dicT norlove him for himself alone,
S/jP rank^wealt^, or condition.
1 "lS V? ose to term it,
d upon his mind,
a$rv> it out to
" fogfrgte'S
but that
.ent, or shake
solved to study
—to^arace (Timself in such a posi-
that ne could see and observe her,
'day after day, and week after week.
If the internal beauties corresponded
with the external, he believed he should
be indeed happy.
"With ihis object in view, the
young man sought and obtained em-
ployment as a common laborer, in your
family. He knew not then, that you
had two daughters, and was not a lit-
tle surprised when he beheld the
younger sister equaling, if not surpass-
ing the other in personal attractions.
" He had studied the character of
Rosabel, and it resulted in deep disap-
pointment, He heard conversations in
French on more than one occasion, that
shew the true character of both. Par-
don me, but he proved the elder Miss
Warden vain ana superficial, and con-
sequently unfit to fulfil the duties of a
wife.
" He turned to the younger f and in
her he found all that was gentle, kind,
noble, and true in woman. She saw
not the position of the young farmer in
a disparaging light She had the good
sense to know, that tilling the soil was
not a dishonorable occupation, and
that honest labor was not disgraceful.
This was as it should be. The "hired
man" gave all his love to Isabella War-
den, and she—Heaven bless her—did
not receive it with scorn. Dwelling
under the same roof with the poor
young man, was a conceited coxcomb
a swindler, who lived by his wUs.
He had managed by the aid of forged
letters, and some of his own clique, to
insinuate himself into the family of
Dr. Warden, ostensibly as a medical
student, but really to entrap one of his
daughters into a marriage which would
prove advantageous to him in a pecu-
niary view. As far as medicine was
concerned, -he knew nothing about it,
and hadnot the ability to learn. This
person soon became a great favorite,
for his assurance passed for genuine
"gentility." He was soon intimate
with the elder Miss Warden. The
student was bent upon mischief, and
soon made the position of the-young
man first mentioned very uncomforta-
ble. The farmer lad was shunned,
slighted and scorned by all save Isa-
bella- He bore all this contempt and
insult with patience, except on one
occasion, wh$n he chastised the inso-
lence of a swindling coxcomb as it
deserved.
" A dead body was discovered in a
brook, and it was whispered in the
Warden iamily, that the young man
was the murderer. * Nay, do not be
confused, for ao it was! This report
was whispered with malicious ingenu-
ity to Isabella. She rejected it with
scorn, and confessed that she
ing Rosabel.
ing her sister's face with water, Mr.
Wagstaff made his exit unperceived.
" I feel that we have wronged you
past forgiveness," the doctor continued,
greatly agitated. "All this is the re
suit of our ioolish pride."
"By giving me the hand of your
daughter, you will atone for all, and
make me the most iortunate of men."
" It is an honor that /cannot refuse,
rnsworth7 and /*?""
^rnust inevitably sink so low in your
esteem. But we all deserve the morti-
fication of this moment; and / hope it
will learn Rose and my wife, as well
as myself, a wholesome lesson! Take
Bella, for she is worthy of you."
The doctor arose from his chair and
joined the hands of Bella and our hero.
Rose revived in time to witness the
transaction. When she sought her
chamber, the hot tears were streaming
from her eyes, and her cheeks were
suffused with blushes of humiliation
and shame.
Our story is told. Mr. Wagstaif
was never seen again in that part of the
country. Bella did not become Mrs.
Hezekiah Spike, but Mrs. Ainsworth :
and those womanly virtues, which had
won her husband's regard in the first
instance, grew brighter and brighter
with revolving years.
The Diminution of Silver —A writer
in the New York Express says that the
diminution in the quantity of silver at the
North, ia caused by the buying of it up at
a premium by the Austrian, Prurssian
and Bavarian Governments, in order to
replace the small paper currency of the
country. This may be true, but we rath-
er think the probabilities are against it.
We would like to know how they are able
to buy the silver; whether they pay for it
in paper or gold ? The latter, we should
think, would answer all the purposes of the
silver, whilst nobody on this side of the
water would take the former.
