were all in a tumult; all were anxious to
have the honor of his attentions; and
many an eye had closed with a tear under
its lid after waiting a whole evening at
the window, with the expectation of see-
ing Jedediah ride up to the horseblock.
During his vacations, our village girl
31-le saw then, sly glances at him, as he
stood ofa Sunday in their gallery at the
church, and led their choir. He knew
that they thought him handsome; an] be
was fool enough to be flattered by such
things. His vanity grew at last to be his
ruling passion ; and he tlio’t the party te-
dious where all the eyes in the room were
not directed towards him.
He spent his vacations wholly with the
girls; riding with one, walking with an-
other, and ‘ setting up’ with another. He
made declaration in a garland of flowers,
and expressed his adoration to every
bright eye in the village, with a boqnet -of
the sweetest and freshest roscbuds he
could gather. As long as their admiration
‘it will never do; this flirting with all the '

But mark my word.-, Jcdediali, I have seen
more days than you, and observed some-
what of the ways by which Providence
brings its ends about. Justice is sure of
foot, Jedediiih, though slow——mai-k that!
And for every idle \v_ord and deed ofyours
there will be a day o‘a('count here or else-
where. It is true, I have seen some pre-
cious .-coundrels in my da_v, die quietly in
their beds, who deserved to die at the end
of the halter. And the Preacher says,
‘there is one event to all, both the right-,
eous andihe wicked.’ But. observe, my:
pretty fellow: I never knew a graceless
rogue who triflcd with a woman’s affection

such misdeeds. I believe there is special
woe denounced upon the wretch; and he
might as well attempt to llyinto the re-
gions of infinite space as to escape it.
‘ Leave offthis wicked nay then Jede-
diali, if you would prosper——-if you would

Here uncle Obed’s voice grew husky.
He tookalong and deep draft. from his
mug of cider, then rose from the table and
walked out of the room.
Ashe closed the door behind him, Jed-
ediuh drew a long breath, looked at me
half mad and half ashamed, and then con-
temptuously wliistled w-li-e-w!
My foolish brother continued to flirt
with Isabel, until her whole soul became
locked up in his. Her friends cautioned
her in vain; she was blind even to the
suggestion of her better judgment. At
length, when he had completely triumph-
ed over her gentle heart, he left her for
some other sweet flower, to blight as he
had done this.
Isabel bore his coldness awhile with ap-
parent indiflierence. But. the lustre grad-
ually lefi her eye her cheek grew pale and
thin, and her fine red lips took a deatlilike

looked for some dreadful fulfilment of the
deceiver’s curse. l:fclt a foreboding that
judgement would ci.me—it did come!
After he had graduated he studied law,
and established himself in an adjoining‘
county, in his profession. He had fine
talgnls for the bar, and'rose rapidly in the
estimation of the public. Sevemt yea.-sf
rolled away. and at the. age of 2.9, he!
found himself wealthy and of high roputa-;
lion. He still remained, lioweveras reek-i
less and wild in his interconsc with society
mingling in all its gayest circles.
In the winter of his twenty-nintli year,
he cauglit a dreadful cold, while on a.
sleigh ride which made great inroads onl
his health, and brought. on syniptons of
His physicians told him
that he could not survive the rigors of an-
oilicr northern winter and rccoininended
a voyage to Cuba. I went with ‘him as
his nurse, and the following \vinte-r’,we
spent in Havanna. I-lerelie rapidly gained
his l.ealili,aud-.is he spoke Spanish as fluent-
ly .-is Castilian,he mingled a great deal,“-iili
the Spaniards. His fine person and fasci-
nating maiiners soon foniid him a passport
to the favor of many a black-eyed donna.
He seemed perfectly happy while baskiiig
in the sunshine of their smiles. But alas!
poor fellow, slow footed justice was about
to ovc-r.ake him.
On some great occasion, the Gevernor
General gave a splendid ball at. his palace.
I-Ve had both been invited. I was satisfied
with looting on the gay scene, but he min-
gled in all its luxuries.
I observed thta he waltz:-d several times
with the beautiful wife ofa young Spanish
officer of high rank. The last time he
handed Ii -r to her seat he plucked a moss
rose-bud from a vase that stood near him,
and then dropped it into her bosom.
Here he stopped,and whispered something
in her ear; and when she raised her head
I observed that a deep blush was passing
over her face, and a smile of peculiar
meaning curling her lip. He forgot that the
eye of Spanislijealousy knew neither slum-
ber nor sleep.
Two days afterward, he was found by
the city guard, about daylight, on the
paveriiciitiii front ofthis Spaniard’s house

It was evident, however, that the machine-
ry of her existence was gradually running
down; and every’ day was expected to.
bring some story of her sickness or death.:
At length, she almost shunned society;
and spent her time, when the weatlierl
would permit, in wandering among the
hills and forests.
One evening ofa pleasant d..y in the
summer which she had spent from home
her parents observed that. she did not re-
turn home at her usual hour- They be-
came alarmed, and roused a party of their
neighbors, and went in pursuit of her.
Tliey travelled for a long whil-.4. the forest
and thickets in vain. They shouted her
name through the deep glens, and blew
their horns from the top of the hills. But
echo alone replied.
At length, about midnight, one of the
party, on his return, discovered her on a
high ledge of rocks seated at the foot. of
an old beech, which hung far above the
precipice. He called on her. She re-
turned no ans\ver. He thouglitslie might
possibly be asleep, and he clanibered up
the rocks where she sat. He called on
her, and she answered not. Then he
touched her shoulder, and gently shook
her, and started back with horror. She
was dead! cold and slifll—thougb, as she
sat, she looked more like one enjoying
quiet slumber. Her left arm rested on
the trunk of the tree, and the fiingers of
her hand were laid on my brother's name
cut. in the smooth bark. It seemed as if
she had been trying to trace them out in
the dark. Doubtless such was the fact,
the slow. But. I thought of Bell Johnson
and ‘Obed’s warniiig, and felt that the
Spaniard was but an instrument raised up
by One who has said. ‘vengeance is mine.’
The sentence was just, and I did not

\Vliile transacting some business at a
store in a neighboring town, on Saturday
afternoon, a man entered whom we well
knew, in a state of partial intoxication, e'x-
hibiting those unerring symptoms of men-
tal imbeciliy, whicli terminate either in
delirium tremc/zs, or mania a. pa.-"21.. His
bloated features and shattered form, were
too horrible to look upon without pain,
bordering upon disgust. His words were
few, disjointed and silly. In fact, he was
one of the most finished rum wrecks we of-
ten see.

PRACTICAL JOKE.
There was a. fellow by the name of Ned
Brace, who lived in Georgia, and who could
not get along without playing 3 pfgictical
jo c. It was his life. \Vhcn in Savannah,
he asked a friend to go into an oyster
house and partake with him of an oyster
supper: The invitation was accepted.—-
Tliey proceeded at once to the oystgr ven-
der, where they had not been seatedmore
than three minutes before footsieps were
heard on the stairs, and they ¢‘a‘ngli't. the‘
following sentence from the‘ stranger:'
“Aha, Monsieur‘ Middletougl you say’
you hab de bes oystar in de city ’I Vell,
me shall soon see.” _ _
The sentence was hardly uttered before
the door opened, and in stopped a gay,
smirky little Frenchman. He madeus is
low bow, and as soon as he rose from his‘
ob.-isance, Ned rushed to him in transports
ofjoy, seized him by the hand, and shaking
it with fi-iendship’s warmest grasp, exclaim-
ed, “How do you do, my old friend? I
had no idea of meeting you here; how‘ do
you do, Mr. Sqiieczelfaiiterl how have
you been this long time ? ’
“Sair,” said the Frenchman, “me tank
you ver’ much to lab me so hard ; but you
mistake dc gentleman; my name is not de
Squcczlefanter.”
“Como, come, John,” continued Ned,
“quit your old tricks before strangers.-—'=
Mr. Hale let me introduce you to my par-
ticular friend John Squeczelfanter, from
Paris.”
"Perhaps, sir,” said I, not knowingwell
what to say nor how to act in such an‘
emergency, “perhaps you have mistaken
the gentleman.” _
“Begar, sair,” sail monsieur, “he is t'n'i:.-'
taken eberyting at once. My name is not

“If I am mistaken,” said Neil, “I liui'nbly'

much like my old friend Jack, that Iwoultl
have sworn you were he.”

“Now look at me, good .Iack,” said Neil,-
