About half a mile in ad- vance of me, the thin blue smoke was curling upward from the chim- ney of a yellow house that stood on The most trivial circumstances Y gathered up the reins and 'was about to touch my horse with the spur, when a voice close beside me said ; 'You need go no further, stran- ger, unless you are unwilling to accept a generous welcome but not I turned in my saddle, and beheld directly behind me a tall well-pro-- portioned man about forty-five years of age, who came up go n0iselessy | turned in my chair with a langh in my rear that I was not aware of y 4 his presence until I heard him ¢ For one who has trayelled over half the world,' I answered, ¢ it mat- ters but little what I eat or what I drink so long as I have a crust and a place to stretch my limbs.

There isa sad change hercabout since the new order of things came into vogue.-- But come in the house, sir, and let us see what can be done toward I followed him into oa room the furniture of which was of the cheap- est and most plain material.

' When I had concluded my dinner Mr. Bates asked me if I smoked, and upon my replying in the affirmative produced some corncob pipes and tobacco, and we were both soon en- veloped in a cloud of Kentucky smoke. : I always feel communicative un- _|der the influence of the weed, and] have generally found it thecase with, pretty much every one; but Selden Bates' pipe seemed to_seal his lips. He puffed vigorously and replenished his corncob several times, only deign ing to reply to my remarks by a simple ¢ yes' or 'mo,' and I began to think that, after all, though he might chance to be a well read per- son there did not appear much var- iety in his conversation. I have neglected to inform the reader that I have an ugly scar run--- ning from my left cheek-bone down to the corner of my mouth. It was received when I was a boy, by my falling from a barn loft upon a scythe which lay on the floor. The wound healed, leaving a purple scar on my visage, and as I never had any beauty to spare, this accident in no ways improved my appearance, As evening drew on and the lamps were lighted I several times detected Mr. Bates regarding me with a peculiar stare. There was a look of pain and happiness in his countenance, that was at variance with his previous rosy and uncoucerned demeanor. After a Jittle time he moved his scat upon my right side, and simultane- ously with his act I unconciously changed my attitude, so that I again broaght my left cheek to his view, Suddenly his countenance became very pale and laying his hand upon my arm he said : ¢ Pardon the request I make but I will esteem it a favor if you sit with your right side towards me.' "Ah! Isee, I replied, 'the left side of my face is: more repulsive than the right, certainly,' and I He seemed offended at my reply, and while the blood mounted in his cheeks, he quickly corrected me. ¢ 1 should be sorry to think that you deem me capable of an act of discourtesy. Believe me, your face has nothing in it that in the least degree is repulsive to me, but that gear upon your cheek recalls one of the most bitter opochs of my life;-- So bitter so hopeless is thé remorse I feel when I sometimes lay down to sleep, if I knew that I would nev- or more awaken to the pangs 1 must ever experience while I live. Oh} it is a fearful thing to have a sorrow so deep and remorso so great that they cannot, they will not be cast out even by a contrition that grovels at the feet of mercy in sackcloth and ashes.' I looked at my host' with an air of amazement. I could scarcely be- lieve I had heard him aright. ¢ What great crime can you have committed ?' The words came slowly from my lips. I did notknow I had uttered them until I heard his reply. * Nothing,' he said, ¢ but what ev--- ery man, woman and child over the entire south will tell you I had a right to do." Nothing for which the law of the land can lay its finger on me, and yet God only knows whether I have not done that fowl Jy the tortures of hell may be m rtion in the world to come. But when this spell comes over me (and it does so frequently,) I must speak, or I think I should go distracted.-- Would you like to hear a story ? - It may do you no possible good, for it contains no moral. Yet it may an-- swer one end, and that is, it will cause you to remember me.' ¢« Proceed,' I replied, 'I am very much interested, and believe me, 1 sympathise with your distress; and here allow me to assure you that I use no set phrase or idle compari. sioa when I positively declare that my heart beats responsively to all sorrow for I havo had my full share of trouble.' ¢ Very well, then," he responded, ¢ listen and you shall judges whether 1 have real or fancied griefs : ' ¢ My father was a planter.

He was my junior by seven years. He was a thongbful fellow, & great book-- worm, and very retiring in his dis-- position. My father was a man who was very indulgent to his children, and bumored them in everything con- sistent with their welfare. It was one of my whims to be educated at Yale; and my father accordingly to complete my education. Now mark how singularly my character developed as compared with my brother Edward's, who, after my return home went to a southern college and stayed there until he graduated. I went to Yale with on ly moderate Southern piejudices (my mother was Northern born. and was very strong in her proslavery sentiments,) and came out of it tho worst fire eater in the class. No spithet was to bitter for me too apply to Yankees. I was glad to getlLome again and bad no desire to see the North any more. I passed my timo in amusing myself, and occasionully giving an eye to the plantation - my father chanced to be absent Edward canie from college a very different fellow from his brother was eternally pouring over books, and, to my horror, I one day discov- ered him in possession of a pile of anti-slavery pamphlets.

I reasoned with him, but in vain; and when I found I could not produce a change in his «unt ments, I gave the matter up, never willingly referred to it a ain. One day he was at a poliiicat meeting, and incautious expre:- be uttered involved him in a difii. ty with a young planter nu: Styles.
