Tam sick of flinting, and am glad to ge whee | shall see no one but Mis. and Mrs Moses Wood in Jersey. Good-bye, the bell is ringing, we are off. The above conversation took place in the Phiiadelphia depot, yust as the Jersey cily rain avasabout leaving. The Beautiful girl to whom Charles Bragdon spoke was his asthey were orphans. Possessed of a large fortune they had resided in Philadelphia, iu a private boarding house on "Arch elreet. -- Here Bsile Bragdon, beautilul, accomplished and wealthy, was univ mally ad ited. -- Ia her summer resost at Saratoga, Newport or Long Branch, she'had always beén the right star around 'Whom elustered 'a host of rivals for the favor of sher smiles ; bul poor Balle was heartily sick of their adulation and pot little faith in their vows of love and cotistaticy. She could not' but think that her chief charm lay in her weli-filled purse, and she longed 10 know if she aver would be loved for herself alone. Another summer was now commencing, and 'as Charles was about to travel through some of the Western States, she entrealed him to engage board for ber with a person they knew by-sepulauicn, named Moses Wood... who resided on a quiet farm in New York, about four miles from a pretty lntle village we will call Maysville, Here her 'circumstances were wholly pnknown, the 'mere fact of her being the sister of a Philadelphia werchant being all the infor- mation desired. To this.spot Belle was go- 10g, as we 'saw her leaving Philadelphia; baving written, naming the day of her aris val and giving directions fot them to mewt her at Maysville. She expected very soon 10 be away (rom fashionable life and fully awake 10 all the rural beauties of the coun- try. : After the cars started, a gentleman ocen- pyiug the seat with her asked her if he should not place her travelling sarchel on the rack above them ; and as he did so she nohiced that he was a decidedly handsome man about twenty-three years old. His form was shght yet firmly moulded, and he was tastefully and neatly attived in black, while a linen duster earefully guarded nis fine broadcloth coat from: the dust of the toad. His bair was dark snd curly, and vpon his head one of -the fashionable aud pretty straw hats, bound with black, and upon it a broad, black ribbon band was placed ; while his laughing, black eyes looked ever and anon adminngly, sad yet with a quinsical.ex pression at his fair.com- panion. Belle thought to, hersell that she had never seen so graceful a curl 10a mous- taghe ; and as ihe spoke lo the conductor when hp came for ther tickets she could not help sdmiting the red lips and aven white teeth displayed lo her view. Will you tell me when we teach' Mays- ville 7 asked Bélle fas the conductor turned away. . Twill tell yon, al leave the cars at that Place, said the Landsome youog,man a! her side. , So Belle waited patiently until the name or haiided her trom fhe cars, and. much to inex surprise, walked direaily to Mr. Woad, who was the orie waiting: in sight with . i 4 that " hand, he coolyiseated himself by herside in the vebicinu geen off #1 'Mr. Wood, will be so1kind as to in- vod the'Yo this lady 2" 'Although I as aibted 4 ier fiom ho oar, fone Bot acquain- "' Wiss Bragdot, iis 'is Mr. Everett, a Young "lawyer" from PRB Iphe who span s a few weeks gvery summer al the 'farm. x eS Poor Bella I'it was amusing (0 see the Jook of dismay that 'covered her face at this apnduricement, Shovhobiit much in the way. as from the remarks | listevpd toy; 88 you Dad {rom gous Brahe) Imps} suppose, myesiLio be a 'certajnly go on now. w, s So ends all my dreams of solitude, ex~ claimed Behe, with-u-preity pout ov her ruby lips. 1 wish I:had not come.

Mrs. Wood, said Frank Everen, about an hour after, as they sat about & well joaded tea table, did you know war was again ex- pected 1n this country ? You surprise me, said the pleasant look ing woman addressed. Can il iodeed be possible ? It is ead but true. . Mies Bragden has op- ened hostilities againet your humble servant for presuming to be under your roof while away in one week. How 1a that, Miss Bragdon ? wsked Mrs. Wood smihngly. Why, [ supposed when I came to such a retired spot as tiiis, that I was leaving all troublesome young men at a distance, yet the first | see is one with curly hair, black eyes, a wall cut coal, splendidly firing boots and all to corre: pond. I assure you, Mus. Wood, from all such creatures I pray to be delivered. But, as he says, Ijhave decided be shall remain here one week. All laughed; and prety Belle Bragdon commenced the wi e by slyly pouring a quantity of cold water in Frank's unfinished cup of fea, while his attention was occupied in another direction ; then as he still did not perceive the mischief, she took a large spoonful of salt that was placed on the table for the beuefit of some crisp radish, and quietly adding 1t to the already weakened beverage. oor Frank, = moment after, raced the cup to hia lips, one taste sufhiced, and with a merry twinkle of his eyes he at once turned to his fair neighbor and said -- So the battle has commenced already 1 see; 1 shall be on the deleusive after this. After tea Frank left the table and strayed toward the garden, where the vegetables were neatly thriving, but the border on each mide of the path was gay with roses of every shade, and a variety of other flowers -- Belle spied Mr. Wood's snuff box on the end of the mantle, and opening it, she help- ed herself toa good pinch, and with it sull in her fingers rhe also entered the garden but her blue eyes were sparkling with fun, although otherwise she seemed rather eo- ber and demure. This 1s a fragment of a rose, do you not think so, Mr. Everereti? asked she, nanding tum ove she had plucked and sliyly filled with the snuff, adjusting the pedais so as lo nicely hide it. Frank unsuspectingly tuok the rose {rom her white fingers; but his only answer was a quick sneeze, another, then another, until the poor fellow, from laughing and sneezing, could exclaim between his breaths-- You'll pay for this, Miss Bragdon, one of these days. That ing wi i tricks, but each one only served lo make them betier acquaibted. The next morning Frank asked Belle what they, should do to pleasantly pass away the time. Pick strawberries, said Belle. Mra. Wood tells me they are thick in the meadow. Will you allow me 10 asstet you ? asked Frank. Belle had no such intention. What would Charley eay if on the first morning she was off strawberrying with a handsome beau ? Therefore as he went tor dishes to fill, she seized his preity straw hat and hid it. Then taking a small dish he offered her, playfully exclaymed-- Asl do to tind it, tsee your hat, I will leave you hen. placing her own coquettish cooly bade him good bye and turned away... oi Li About fifteen minutes passed, snd then she bears the laughing voice of Frank ex- olwimmg-- Miss Bragdon, do you know the penalty Join have to endure for hiding my" last fond hat, rm | No six, Ido not... "a You will be glad to apologize, and .give me--anow. mark whai | say-- give volun- tarity, the; Kies of peace, before the week ends. . 1 declare, who aver hoardol sueh ympo- dent conceit?

A seat bad been fixed in ihe tree, and a step [adder had been placed inviung- ly Yenearh. Belle was delighted at the dis. onvery, and thanking Mr. Wood cordially in/ her miad-- never once dreaming that it wae a trapiard by Mr. Everett--she was on the sent in an instant esung the delicious rit. . Foolish Belle! So intent was she in reaching the cherries, that she did not notice the stealthly form drawing near until the steps were taken away, snd she found her- sell among the branches with no way to descend ; and worse than all, Frank was wickedly laughing at ber sudden discom- fitore. Throwing himself on the grass not far ofl, he opened a book, exélaiming-- 1 hope you are enjoying yourself, Miss Bragdou. Please put up those steps, Mr. Everett, she pleaded, I buve had sufficient cher- nes. By no. means, I cannot put them beck at present, Then D'll pelt you with cherries, and 1 warn you that cherry stains will not improve your wardrobe. So saying, cherry after chery went throogh the air, but no damage whatever, ss Frank caused them to disappear rapidly. Oh, thack you Miss Bragdon. 1 'enjoy eating fruit much more when [ am saved the trouble of picking. Then you get no more from me, exclaim. ed Belle. But this 18 teo high 1n the world 10 suit my ideas, 50 assist me down. I will, indeed, Miss Bragdon, on two con ditions--the first being, thai you apologize for tormenting me as you have done thin last week ; the second that you kiss me in token of peace for the future, 1 will accept the first condition, and do now most humbly beg your lordship's ardon for all the bad behavior of which | iy {been guilty; but as to the second I beg most _respectfully to decline the hon- or. Then you are still a prisoner. Mt. Everett, I shall surely jomp, and it any boues are broken. the bill jor the same will most assuredly be sent to you for set- tlement. No fear of that Miss Belle, when I can prevent it. And with one bound he ascended the tree, and seating himse!f beside her, passed one detaining arm around her, while bothfhands were clasped in hue. That is very wrong, Mr. Everett, very wicked in you. ~ I insist upon being allowed to descend to the ground, se we are nol birds to oe thas perched in a cherry tree. And I 1oaist upon my kiss first, as well as the bine ribbon staked against my watch. Poor Belle. She was fairly caught at last. But as she would not yield, the even ing shades began 10 fuld around them while she patiently at in the tree--a vic: tim to misplaced confidence. Aa the time psssed silently on, Belle looked around for some sorce of deliverance but none offered, and all she could see was the laughing blue eyes of her compan~ ion, as he sat so provokingly at her side. Belle, whispered he at length, ss he bent touched her cheek, don' you think you had better accept the second condition now © You are very cruel, Frank Everett. But pleas take me down and here is the kiss, | With a crimson 'cheek she turned and essed her lips 10 1he waiting ones beside er, then quickly suaiching her ribbon from, het hair, she lossed ii 10 him exclaiming You have won the bet old bluebeard, but tentember-- 4 No more threats, my dear Miss Belle, interrupted the young mau as he lifted her Janderly ta the ground.

And when Charlie arrived 8 short time after, and Belle presented to him his future brother-in-law, no one could resist the merriment his railrey occasioned at her going -to the country to flint in cherry trees and to find 'a husband. The wedding took place in Philadelphia a fow months after ; Belle making Fo besutiful bride, and Frank a happy groom. Yours passed, but Frank still declared he would not exchange his kise won an the cherries for worlds, as he is certain his boldness gained for him the sweetest of wives. - eet eee ANOTHER BTEP IN ADVanGp. We are indebted to France for another important disovery; This_is a certain reparation called felt paper, in the minu- aoture of which both animal and vegetable wobstances may be employed and the men~ ufactore produced is pliable, flexible and strong and can be sewed as woven fabrics. This wi!l be of vast importance, the articies manufactured of it, have all the beauty of paper with considerable durability and pli- ancy. Handkerchiefs and petticoats With |, scolioped and embroidered skirts, bed , window curtains, quilts, table oloths and other ariclés, scarcely distin- guishable from the genuine, are prodaoéd at marvelously cheap rates, cost of these, even for the largest size, scarcely amounting to twenty, five cents each.
