Before any one could reply, the sound of horses' hoofs on the green sward, and Jessie's voice as she alighted answer- ed the question. She came ip bright asa sunbeam, and with a few words af apology, took her seat at the table in her riding- dress. Mr. Monfort came in with her, and his" " good-morning, MissHattie," and meaniog smile, said plainly as wordscould have said, " Outwitted for once." They went to Newport,'Mrs. Livingstone as matron of the party. The new riding dresses were worn as often as Hattie could have desired. Of ull our fashionable places of resort, this affords the greatest variety of amusements ; yet the long moonlight rides on the beach were most enjoyed atthe time and longest remembered. = One evening, race, Frank and Jessie found themselves deserted by the other members of their par- ty; and as the gay couples whirled by, keeping time to the music, Frank said : "The more I see of these dancers the more I am convinced that it 1s instinctive delicacy that keeps some ladies from joining in them, is it not Mrs. Thorn?" "1 can scarcely answer inthe affirmative when I see my sisters dancing, lest it should imply a wantof delicacy on their par',"'said Grace, smiling. She paused a moment and then added: You at least give it a pleasanter name than most geatleman do ; evenCharles used to call it prudery. " And yet," replied Frank, «when he sought a wife he chosa one of those prodes 3 s0 1 would do, I could not consent to nee my wife whirling round the room in the arms of any man who chose to ask her." "The firet time I saw the dance," said Grace, " [ received such a shock that I have not since been able to overcome it. I had been 11; as soon as | was able to appear in the rooms, there was a soiree given at our house. I did not go down until the guests had assembled ; as I entered, Lovise passed me in the arms of Colonel Eaton. I thought she wae fainting, but a glance throngh tLe rooms undeceived me. As | walched her in the arms of that bad man I shuddered ; and afterwards when I chided her for it,Jshe said: I detest that man as much as you can de, but be does dance beautifully ; and besides, every one else dances with him,'so 1 do not care." y "1 must maintain my first position," said Frank, ¢ that if all ladies had the fine sence of delicacy that some have it would not be a fashion; and whatever gentleman may say about prodery, in their hearts they think none the less of you for 11." I have been surprised since I have been here," said Gace, "that go many young ladies decline to join in these dances ; yet [ cannot admit that there is want of delicacy in those who dance ; at least not allof them. 1 auttibute 11 16 the fieedom and purity of the American manners. It is not necessary for our ladies to be on their guard againstjinsult, they reldom if ever receivegt 5 and notwith- standing their apparent caielessness, how quickly and decidedly any nnique tamiliar- ity from a gentleman is checked." "It is best," replied Frank, ¢¢ to see it in the most "charitable light; yet 1 sincerely regret that the wives und daughters ol our Republic should have permitted it to become a fashion there; 1 seems to me to be only suited to the depraved partof society in some parts of Europe." But all things come 10 an end, and so did the season at Newport. Hearts had been lost and won, flintations begun and ended, and flirta disappointed joy and regret, pleasure and discontent, and at the approach of cold weather the fashionable binds of passage flitted to their winter quarters. Hattie "haa her wish : she and Jessie were married at the sama time, The bride's troussennx, the bridal festivities, and wed- ding parti »a from friends and relatives would be an oft told tale. Hallie is gay as ever; but Charles has been heard to say that when his daughter grows up she shall not 'dance the Schottische," rr -- ~~ --t . Apverti<ing SALE oF Property.-- The Lancaster Intelligencer, in speaking of the ny; and great ad of adver= haing rales of projer y inthe newspapers, in addition 10 haviug Landbills printed, very truthfully remarks :--A newspaper is read by hundreds who "never see the attractive bills which are posted in the taverns and store-rooms. Every subscriber to a country paper reads all ench advertisements care- fully. He knows who is selling out, and exaclly what is offered for sale. The ad- vertisemeants aie a topic of conversation when friends meet, and arrangements are made for attending sales. The reali 1s a large erowd, spirited bidding, anil a realiza= tion of ten, twenty, or fifty times what ft costa 10 advertise. No money is so su'e 10 return a large profit as that spent on print- ers ink. A single additional bidder on a single article will pay all ic costs to adver tise a sale of personal property in & news- paper. It is not steange, then, that any one should fail to advertise? Let our friends. think of the matter." GP -- ANOTHER EXPRESS ROBBERY. St. Lovie, August 14,--~The Adams Ex- press Company were robbed of about seven thousand dollars this morning.
