DOING AS W3’; BE DONE BY.
A Sketch Founded on.Fact'.
BY MISS COBNELXA J. ORIE-
Here raising her eyes, they encounter-
-ed such a gaze of admiration from, those
of Morton, as sent the blood thrilling -to
her brow. He had moved nearer the
door and heard almost every word she ut-
tered, while she unconscious, of any listen’
er, save tht old man, had expressed her
thoughts freely. '
‘Lawyer Morton was allotted the hand-
somely furnished “guest-chamber,” while
the old man was shown to a small unus-
ed apartment--kneeling upon whose un-
carpeted floor. he gave thanks for shelter
to Him who once “had not where to lay
His head.
At an early hour next morning Morton
took his depar ure-——t__he weather h_avin:r
cleared off beautifully—acc~ompanied by
the stranger, to whom he had pnlin-l_v on
fered a seat in his carriage. “
CHAPTER vm.
-‘Who do you think’s in Ric'hmoud,my
dear?” said Mr. Potts the first thing af-
ter his return from the city that evening.
‘ Oh, don't make guessers of us, like
Yankees,” cried his amiable spouse.-
"Tells us in the straightforward English
manner, and-be done with it.”
"Thank you for the compliment to my
nationality, my dear. Q Well. the“. Judge
Morton has arrived. I met Morton as I
was starting out, and he mentioned that
his father was with him, and would
preach‘ in the Methodist chapel to-mor-
row morning. Of course he will expect‘
to see us there.”
-‘Oh, certainly,” said Mrs. Potts ; "but
what a pity he is aMethodist! I am as-
tonished a man of his greatness should
have joined such a denomination- There
certainly is no accounting for tastes.-
However, one of his distinction, gives
eclat to whatever he undertakes. I only
wish we could have had him to ofliciate
for us. We must pay him every atten-
tion in our power, and have him to dine
with us.”
-- What a vulgar taste the old gentle-
man must possess to belong to those hor-
rid shouting Methodists!”' observed Miss
Victoria. V
"Dou’t. express any prejudice against
them to his son, my love, whatever may
be your private opinion.”
"I hardly used dictation on that sub-
ject," tartly returned the young lady.-
"Give me leave to possess some little
brains of my own." '
"Well, darling, I only gave you a_
+=
Mrs. Porter Potts was herself reared a
Methodist, but .as soon as she escaped
‘ from the paternal control, thinking the
established church! was more fashionable
and refined, she forthwith rented the
most eligible pew therein, and from her
constant attendance and emphatic respon-
ses, came to be regarded as a pattern of
devoutness! ~ A
The double carriage was in requisition
at the proper hour next morning, to con-
vey tho aristocratic family lb worship,
and the roadswere in fine order from the
late show, Milton proposed that the sleigh
might be gotten ready for Miss Ingie and
Ins, and that he would drive. To. this
plan his mother started» many objections,
but finally reluctantly acceded, and in a
fever of anxiety at the idea of a tete-a-
tete between “the lovers," (as she consid-
ered them) she saw them precede her on
the road; insisting, however, that the
footmau should follow them on‘ horse-
back, in csse.of any accident that might
take place, for "Miltouwas. unaccustom-"
ed to driving."'~ He-was, to be sure, ve-
ry little accustomed" to any other steed,
save his Pegasus»; nevertheless, be man-
aged -from, the absence of the jiugling,
sleigh-bells tdconflise‘ him, finally to de-
posit his precious freight at the church
door in safety. ’ _ _ _
lllere all was new to the P_ott's The
plain interior. the absence of the organ,
the custom of ‘the sexes occupying sepa.
rate seats, the ordinary appearance of
some of tlieworshippers, the brief, una-
dorned opening services, all afforded mat-
ter for whispered comment.
The ‘entrance of two plainly dressed
ladies into their pew, occasioned a shrink-
ing in Miss Victoria, accompanied by a
stage-‘whisper Of “Ma, don't you smell
onion? I believe some vulgar person
has been eating them! Pah! I can’t
breath here,” and the fastidious young
lady, despiteher mother's remoustrauce,
moved into another seat, where a glimpse
of Morton in one of the “amen pews,"
kept her motionless the_remainder of the
service. ‘ '
A young clergyman was reading the
hymn.
"That cannot be the Judge,” she said
to herself. -
But there was another figure behind
him, half-hidden by the high, old-fashion
ed pulpit, and when the prayer and an-
them were ended, that figure rose slowly
until drawing itself up to its_ full height,
its almost gigantic proportions stood out
clearly to the gazing assemblage. Could
it be possible? Yes, there was their old
and illytreated guest ‘before them !—
What could it mean! Could Judge
Morton be that old man? and could he
be the minister who was about to ad-
dress them! The naturally unblushing
' Victoria Regia grew crimson, but her
more obtuse momma only murmured "a
disappointment!” A
The keen, eagle. eye of Judge Morton
for be it was—rested on them for a mo-
ment, as, in his full, metallic tone, he an°
nounced his text, selected from the twen-
ty-fifth chapter of St. Matthew's gospel :
“Inasmuch as ye did it not unto the least
of these, ye did it not unto Me."
Oh, how witheriugly. he spoke of
the sycophaut, the worshipper of wealth
and greatness-—wbo _ bends the supple
knee, "that thrift may follow fawning."
How he dwelt on the example of the meek
overcoming toilette for his especial ben-
efit. '
While she was thus employed, Miss
Ingle was summoned from the nursery,
and without knowing who were the vis-
itors that awaited her,went down in her
plain black dress, and little silk ’ apron.
looking so bewitcbingly lovely in her
simplicity, that Morton could not help
thinking of " beauty unadorned is adorn-
ed the most.” -
Of what then and there transpired, I
am without oficial account, but this-'-we
know, that Mrs. Porter Pqts was heard
to exclaim, same time after the conclu-
siou of the conference ; g
" This comes of noticing poor rela-
tions! and this is the wayl am repaid
for my kindness in taking that ungrate-
ful girlinto myhouse, and treating her
-like my own child! But it was always
so—I never did a kind act in my . life
without bitterly repeating it!” .
Here Milton entered, and catching her
‘last words,’ thereupon broke forth :
“ Oh ever thus from childhood’s hour,
. .I’ve seen my fondest hope decay, _
I never loved a tree or flower,
- hit ’twao the flrst to fade away.”
" Oh, do hush your nonsense,” said the
excited momma. "This is all ‘your fault
you perverse, headstrong boy!" _
"For whatam I held accountable, oh
most gentle mother?” asked the poet.
, “ Don't ask me,” was the savage'res-
ponse. “Why if you had not put your-
self on an equality with this Ingle girl,
and encouraged her airs and graces, she
would never have been elevated to be
the wife of Welby Morton.”
*‘ Wife of Welby Morton! What do
you mean, mother?” and poor Milton
staggered back. ’
“ Mean ? why simply that this young
upstart has succeeded in entrapping
Morton, whom every one supposed en-
gaged to your sister; and the end of it
broken, and I shall be driven crazy!”
The young man grew very pale, and
put his hand to his forehead, as if to col-
lect his dizzied thoughts.
" And so, she is to be a,nother’s,” at
last he murmured; " then farewell to
the dream so fondly cherished, and with
it, all life can give ! Fate has done its
worst—I smile at its further vengeance.
The whirlwind took me up at my "birth,
and has never yet set me down. Ah !
unfortunate being that I am ; again I am
afloat like a weed on the bosom of the
ocean, impelled and tossed about by the
blasts of cruel destiny!” -
". Stop your rodomontade !” ordered
the exasperated momma. “ Your par-
tiality for this abominable girl always dis
gusted me, and now I am sickened be-
yond endurance. You ought to blush to
think what a dolt you have made of your-
self—-and she—deceitful creature! to en-‘
courage.you until she found some one she
" liked better, and then to cast you off like
an old shoe. But you must despise her
now, poor silly boy.”
" Mother,” interrupted the son, and
he spoke gravely and sternly, " I do not
despise l_ier—aud I tell you it can never
soothe my feelings to hear her spoken of
in such terms. She came here a*lily
among thorns ;' her orphan and forlorn
state attracted my attention, and her
many excellencies won at last my love.
'I offered her that love-—she declined it;
yet I still hoped her scruples might yield
and lowly Jesus, who hath said, “Bl
sed are the poor in spirit, for they shal
inherit the kingdom of Heaven," and‘

thus in any similar discourse. The l-am.
bassador of Christ" had done what the
mere member of Congress would have
failed to do, and in that crowded congre°
gallon, composed of different denomina-
tions, there was scarcely an eye not
swimming with emotion.
As for Emma, she '- was ready to ex-
claim with the Psalmist, "How beautiful
are Thy Tabernacles, oh Lord of Hosts;
for in this simple Sanctuary her spirit
had ascended on the ladder of the preach-
er’s thoughts, and brought down the wa-
ters of refreshment in her soul.
Judge Morton did not dine with Mrs.
Porter Potts that day! -Pity the sor-
rows of poor Mrs. Potts!
CHAPTER IX.
For the satisfaction of our readers who
may wish a ‘‘ little more light on the
subject," we may say that the carriage
of Judge Morton had broken down near
Richmond, on that fatal night, and that,
dispatching his servants to town, be had
sought shelter in the nearest habitation
which proved to be that of Mrs. Porter
Potts.
Poor Mrs. Potts! she strove by every
reparation in her power to do away the
unfavorable impression,but all seemed of
" none efiect ;” and she had relapsed into
an absolute despair, when the sight of
Judge Morton's handsome travelling
equipage drawing up 0 the door. inspi-
red her with fresh hopes. Miss Victoria
exclaimed as she saw young Morton des-
cend with his father, ‘_‘ I knew he could
not live out of my presence!" and dan-

Morton did not require a long court-
ship He was already familiar enough
with Emma’s nature to entrust his hap-
piness into her keeping, without hesitan-
cy, and was only too impatient to pledge
his life, fortune and sacred honor, fol’
that purpose, at the hymeneal alter. So,
in five -weeks from that time, the unpre-
tendiug little Emma Ingle became the
bride of the talented and commanding
Lawyer Morton. Every honor and at-
tention was paid the young wife—the
Potts’ alone held aloof, but they were at
last compelled to surrender, and the pan-
ic of the “ small-note” issue, having made
a wreck of the bank, they were glad to
accept shelter, and temporary support
beneath the roof of the despised and in-
sulted governess. Through Judge Mor-
ton's influence, Mr. Potts succeeded in
obtaining a clerkship in one of the de-
partments, and has moved to the Metrop
olis, where his stately lady is obliged to
hide her “ diminished headfl’ aud:ecouo-

that-
“ Spirit of beauty
Which looks upon all for the best ;

To Providence leaves all the rest.
That spirit’s the devotion l
It leads us through life to its close,
And sete like the sun in the ocean,
More beautiful far than it rose.”
An Intrepid Uhambermaid.
Galignani's Messenger, a French pa-
per, tells the following curious story :-
Annette, a young Chambermaid of
Marne, had kept the rooms of two weal-
thy bachelors for several years. She
wanted to get married, but her lover
was so poor that she durst not venture.-
These bachelors were brothers, and one
day they hadsold some property which
they owned jointly, and the money,
amounting to 106,000 francs, was paid in
bills of the Bank of France, too late to
take it to Paris that afternoon. At mid-
night a great noise was heard in the
house. Annette ran and rapped at her
master's door, saying; that robbers were
at work below. "You have a gun,”
says she. "take it iandshoot the villains!”
Both the bachelors were much frighten-
Oue began to barricade the door,
while the other removed a tile to secrete
the bank bills. "Fool,” said the girl,
"they will murder us all-give me the
gun !” She seized a doubld-barrelled
gun which laid upon the shelf and start-
ed down stairs, the two frighened men
watching her movements without saying
a word. Presently bang went the gun
and a groan was heard—bang went the
second barrel, and now a screech of pain
resouuded through the house. Annette
soon came tripping up stairs and asked.
for powder and ball to re-load. The as-
tonished bachelors gave her the requisite
charges, but soon steps were heard re-
treating from the house. All three went
cautiously down stairs, when lo! a pool
of blood showed that one robber at least
had paid the penalty of his rash attempt.
In the morning it was plain to be seen
that the body of the unhappy victim had
been dragged by his companions to the
river. Blood marked the whole distance
and the police were instantly on the alert
for the aarest of the living thieves, and
the discovery of the body of the dead one
All was vain, however, but the intrepidi-
ty of the poor girl was discussed far and
near. The grateful bachelors knowing
that Annette wanted to marry, prepared
to give her a dower. “Ah. Monsieurs,”
replied she, “how can I leave you? you
may again be attacked by robbers-”—
“But we will not, nevertheless, stand
between you and happiness: here are
thirty thousand francs; you saved our
lives, and richly deserve the money. If
you choose to live in this house with
your husband, we shall repair the lower
part for that purpose, and you can then
be paid for keeping our rooms neatly as
at present.” Annette did not hesitate to
accept the «lower and the house. It was
many years before the real facts relative
to this midnight attack of robbers came
to light. The rich bachelors were then
both dead, and. had willed Annette an-
other thirty thousand francs. The rob-
bers, it appears, were not of plural num-
ber, but only Annette’s lover alone.-
The blood was from alamb that badbeeu
killed for the occasion. Indeed, the
wbole was but a ruscby the two lovers
to open the hearts and the purses of Ric
rich bachelors. '

-‘Rum Drops.
Those mothers-.'—-and their name is ma-
ny—-who insist on patroniziugthe con-
fectioners, while they tum, away in boy.
I01 from the rmnsellesf trade, are reques-
ted to “inwardly digest" the following
extract from a New York paper, of; re.
centdate: . _~»-_‘
“The devil seldom leaves his friends
until their day of usefulnessisover. The
libertine cried out for victim, and the
coufectioneransvzered the call. , Rum-
drops and __ wine-drcpg, appeared, and
were spread oui_tem_‘ptingly on the ta-
bles cf, our ,,fa_;,-.‘1ion:i,ble,_ saloons; and
through them! tlie girl, who would have
been insulted the odenof a glass of
the sweetest .winr,, familiar with
the taste and ex‘.'.’ilara'ti,ng effects’ of the
strongest and m -: hconimon alcoholic
drinks. ,, ,'
As many of oug readers may not have
seen the article _to which we refer, i:
may.‘ be Well to Say that these ‘drops are
made in the form )f_ an ordinary pepper,-
mint drops, and are aboutfive times as
large. - The A‘ sugr :3 of the peppermint
drop. however-,.is imprcgnatedwith the
essence, audhthe moment theitongue tou-
ches it the presence of chi: essence is ap-
parems. Not so with the rum-drop.-
The outer composition, poisonous though
it be, is free from taste or smell of ardent
spirits. It is but the ‘envelope. The
rum is coucealzd within, so that before
you are aware of its presence the suga-
ry coatiugrhas prepared the way—the al-
cohul comes upon the tongue already
covered with sweets; its unpleasantness
to the unused palate is destroyed ; its
strength is not apparent, and any idea of
its quantity confused. _ , ,
No more ingenious method could be
conceived for the purpose of producing
alcoholic effects upon those who could
not be persuaded to touch it in any other
form. V
. These drops are not to be found in the
saloons where men alone resort. They
are not intended for the use of men. If
you want them, go to our magnificent
and respectable saloons-—to those to
which your daughters are conveyed for
refreshments, at the close of the concert,
when the play is over, or after _a promen-
ade in Broadway. There,—-in the after.
noon, or from evening to nearly morning,
you will behold scores of couples seated
comfortably at costly tables. Wait until
the ice-cream is set aside, and you will
see the willing waiter return with a
mint-julep for the young gentleman, and
“a dozen rum-:.;:‘ops” for the lady. Be-
holding this, is it any wonder that so
many young women are led astray.
, This is no imaginary scene. r We have
witnessed it, and know that such are pro.
sented daily 'andV_nigl.)ly_'in’ Plgces we

Blessed Bells.--E very one has heard
of the practice of “blessing “balls” in the
Romish Church, b‘ .t not every one knows
the precise object - nd import or the prac-
tice. In a recent numberfiof "the Free-
man's J oumal—L’..e organ-of Archbishop
Hughes—-is “An Adams by Cardinal
Wiseman at the Church of St. Thomas,
Canterbury, on occasion of Blessing Belle.
of the Church.” For the information of
the unenlightened we ‘copy from this an-
thoritative document what the blessing of
a hell does, and what a. blessed hell does.
"The rite, or ceremony, which is now
to be performed, belongs to that numer-
ous class of secondary services in the
Catholic Church which are intended for
a two-fold purpose. First, toimpresa up,
on our, minds by the symbolism which
they contain a conviction and feeling of
that holiness which pgrvadea the church
Secondly, and chiefly, to. convey bles-
sings to objects that of themselves mighg
appear incapable of them, but which God
has been pleased to make capable, thro’
the grace of regenerated nature, of a new
and sacred life, not proper to thelnselvel
whereby they are enabled to transmit,
as instruments or channels of Divine
mercy a blessing even to us. " "
