True Pride.- er declares Boston to be DURHAM, COUNTY ‘More bad luck 1’ said Mr. Pierson to l e his wife, as he threw himself on the sofa l i! ,in a desperate manner. ‘I believe Hea- a Even itself is against me ! Nothing I touch prospers.’ Mr. Pierson had just come home from 4 ,his shop. He was a merchant; and by ‘ gmost persons thought to be a successful lone. He had been in business once be- i ifore, and, after accumulating a comfort- lahle little fortune of twelve or fourteen ‘ ‘lhousand pounds, had lost it all through a bad speculaticm. ' The Wife” saw through the manner of her husband, that something serious had occurred, or was in danger of occurring. He looked very much troubled, and his. tone was more troubled than his coun~ tenance. She waited for some moments; in eXpecta’tion that he would say more; but, as he remained silent, she inquired as to the cause of his anxiety. ‘Philpot and Markham have failed,’ he replied, in an abrupt manner. 6 ‘They have !’ said the wife, turning v I.

Oh dear !’ and Mr. Pierson started up and commenced pacing the floor hurriedly. 'His Wife knew his charaeter: Well? enough to be sure that any fartherat- tempt on her part to give him the strength he needed would only produce irritation of mind, and she fefbore Say~ ing anything further than to enquire more particularly into the circumstanees of the failure likely to involve them in V? “.1le Tea Was soon after announcea, and Mr. Pierson, after sitting at. the table without eating anything, until the fam- ily had partakcn of the meal, arose and left. the house in order to see a merchant with whom he had confidential business transactions. Shortly after Mr. Pierson 'went out, and while Mrs. Pierson and her eldest daughter, Jessie, then just eighteen years of age, were sitting alone together, I a servant came to the room and said that. there was a gentleman in the par- lor. ‘Who is he ?’ inquired Mrs. Pierson. ‘Mr. Garland-3 replied the servant. ‘01),3'925’ said Jessie, ‘lxe has called for me. We are going to the opera.’ ‘With Mr. Garland!’ returned her} mother, eviuciug surprise. ‘Why not with him, mother?’ “Your father and I have both said we would rather not have you keep com- pany with that man.’ ‘You indulge in a causeless preiudice against him, mother.’ ‘ ‘ ' A" _ J...) -n -5-._--_ , ‘No. Our objection is founded on what we know of him, as well an on ob. servation and experience.’ Jessie bad arisen, and Was moving slowly tOWards the door while her mother Was speaking.

But, mother, my word is passed, and I must not break -it.’ And as Jessie said this, she withdrew from _the room, and closed the. door as she went. out. Mrs. Pierson, who had1 arisen from her chair, sat down with a sighiog moan, and, covering her face with‘her hands, bent her body and rock- ed herself to and fro restlessly. Up till within a few months, a more llOving 0r dutiful child than Jessie was not to be‘ found. Since then she had made the acquaintance of a man named Garland, and become completely fascinated with him. He was some years older than shel i“as, and had seen a good deal of the World.

As for me, it is no disappointment; An hour spent with you here, in the quiet of your own parlor, will fully compensate for all I had anticipated at tlic opera.‘ ‘I am happy to hear you say that. 1 1 feared it; would be a gr'e’af; disappoint- menu" ‘Oh no: none in the least.

I wanted to have a. lathe qulet conversation with you,~ and now the op- portunity has eorne.’ Mr. Garland look- ed earnestly Into the face of the maid’en as he spoke; and the maiden‘s eyes shené with a deeper and more liquid ‘ brightness,- while a gentle warmth per- vaded her lovely countenance. There Were a few moments of silence; which Garland broke by Saying, in a low voice, while he bent nearerâ€"‘Jessie, you must 1 pardon my freedom in Saying with all frankness-91 never Speak in any ether wayâ€"that the most plea‘éant hours of my life are passed in yoursociety. This is not meant as simply a. eomfilin‘nent. I do not waste Words in mere cemplfi meats, but in saying just What I think and feel.’ (mg.

She bent her head to listen, and, at the same -wvâ€" 0 tion was fullerâ€"almost panting, and that her hand had a visible tremor. He understood the meaning of these signs; and they embolded him to touch; ivith a gentle pressure, the hand that lay most temptingly near his own, and the Then folloWed words more tender ‘ still. To these succeeded an open con- fession of love, which Jessie met with a blushing reference to her parents.â€" When Garland parted that evening with the happy and bet'vildered girl, a kiss - I of love was Ie’t burning upon her lips. Next day more certain intelligence “ in regard to the failure Was received by Mr. Pierson; it ‘Was eVen more ruinous than at first believed. While biooding gloomily over the probable result to himself, a letter Was handed to him. â€"- On breaking the seal, he found it to be a note from Garland which briefly stat- ed the writer’s attachment for Jessie, and preferred a request for her hand. The receipt of this offer had the effect of disturbing Mr. Pierson still more deeply. Jessie was his best beloved child, and the interest felt 1n her welfare( had ever been most intense. Garland} : he had never liked. Though well con- nected, and mnving freely ‘in'tbe best circles, he had always doubted the cor gt rectness of his principles, and consider- 1i ed him a cold- hearted man of the world. 1 i He was engaged in no business, and 1n 0 h a I should win the afiediidus of his child‘ was indeed an affliction, which, coming at such an unprepitious time, nearly! completed the prostration of his feel-3 ings. Mr. Pierson immediately replied that he could not accept the offer for [Jessie’s haud,aud begged Garland to ldismiss the subject at cube and forever lfrom his mind. PROCLAMATION :BY THE LIEUT ST.

Clark, in his \Vorkday Christianity,- says :â€"â€"“ A man, building character,- must break bond, as a bricklayer. llis thoughts, purposes, and actions, must interlap and interlock. cross over each other,- and be sealed by brotherly love; He must build in much for strength, and little for show. Comparatively lfew bricks go into the street side wall of a house. The materials that compose the rear walls,,gabels, and cross parti~ tions must be as firmly burnt and care- fully laid in as the stencilled rows that face the thoroughfares. So a man must make himself strong, not merely ins. single trait or truth, but build his char‘ acter through and through by plumb ‘ and level. He must square himself up ' heaveuvmard...by well-adjusted propor- : trons ;e€ reading, business, meditation, 7 andyeligion. His words must measure ! up even against his words. He must pro; ' vide windowsof illumination and doors 7 for his guests. Some men are built 9 like jails. They are blind walls and gloom all the'way up; their eyes are’ crossobarred with forbidden frowns. If it there are emotions within, they are prisi n oners.
