"Whjr, Eliza! what a strange choice for a wedding dress! Your other dresses are in a very good style, and you have plenty of them considering the changes in fashion bat a brown silk dress to be married in ! what fancy in a girl of eighteen!" ' " '"Tis true, my aunt, that my choice may seem somewhat somber but. you .know very well that I. am about to become the wifo of a poos' mechanic, who' depends Xjpcn hist daily labor for support. As the wife of such a man I must necessarily limit my expenditures to my circumstances, and have thought it better to purchase something which would be useful for some time to come, than to consult my appearance as a bride for one short even, ing especially as I see no strangers." "There is something in that. , , There is my Maria's wedding dress. , Sha will never wear it again- in tbi world : She bad wbit' satirf with k lais drcsorer itphV'dld look beautiful!

"Oh, ho is woll off. lie does not get much practice yet, but I dare sny he will in time. lie has a thousand dollars at interest; besides Maria would never have married a mechanic; their hands get so hard and black, and their complexion, especially if they are exposod get so brown. I would not wish to .hurt your reelings, but I do think that for pride's sake, for the sake of the family, you might have made a different choice." "Ob, aunt excuse my laughing I have yet to learn that a man's honost occupation, whether it produces hard hands, whether it gives the cheek a brown or pale hue; is any disparagement to him. You must get ac quainted with William, and hear him con verse. You will not think of his hard hands; and his animated intelligent countenance will drive his bronzed skin quite) out of your head. But come, you don't say anything about my furniture and you must see , my nice closets." "Oh your furniture s well enough. The less you have the less you will have to take care of, you know." , ..'; 1 --"Yes, we could not get much furniture. insisted upon William taking the money that grandfather left me, to pay off a few hundred dollars that he owed for this place, in order to enable us to begin even in the world. We have both such a horror of debt, that we are determined never to incur any if we can help it. See what a nice press for bed clothes this ia?-fi. . ,: "Why, what a quantity o bed and table linen! it is really nice ..too. You have' more than Maria has, I declare." ,:!'Yes, I always want an abundance of such things, . This drawer is filled with towels this is niy ironing sheet and blanket, and this closet contains my tin and wooden ware.". "I declare, Eliza, you are a strange thoughtful child. . I must tell you one thing about Maria that made us have a good hearty laugh.

J.t hope you wjll not let my . brown dress or Williams brbwn bands, frighten 'you away this evening" "Ob, no! But as I must take the stage for Maria's eorly in the morning, you must allow me to retire early." ' ' , ' ' '' '.' "What fellows theso Yankees are lor combining elegance and usefulness,' said a Southern gentleman to himself as he stood on the piazza of the hotel in the town of "Sir," said he addressing himself to a venerable looking man near him, "can yon tell me who resides in that elegant cottage, where the grounds are. laid out i with? so' much tiste?"U y . I JJiH : , "Oh; that's 'Squirt BillTborndyko's. t-You must be a stranger in those ptrts not to know that." . "I am sir; and since he seems such a prominent member of society, I should be happy to know something of his history." "Oh, there is nothing remarkable in it, nothing at all, sir..-. His father was a rass of great .earning, bufchenearly run ', through jtortuhe (Vying "to live in's'tyle. He died, and left three boys.'" Their mother, who went from this place, was a woman of strong sense-She sold the property, paid off the debts, and bad enough loft to buy that little house on the left. It has but two rooms, and there is a garden attached to It. ' Hero she put her boys out to trades. , One to a mason, one , to a wheclright, and this Bill to a carpenter. Bill married the widow Terry's daughter; She was a right good scholar, and made an 'excellent wifo. They;, got along! wonderfully. Everybody wondered how it was. lie did not make better wages than other men.

The child was up stairs; I knew it was a child's voice, from its silvery softness. I lis tened for a while, and then said: ' "That child has a sweet voice." "Yes, she has,'' returned my friond; "She is always siDging!'; , Always singing! ' I passed that, way again. Summer was here in her fullness, strewing the earth with flowers and the sky with stars. The same sweet voice was thrilling on tho air: , "Oh, had I wings like a dove, I would fly." ' This time the little singer was in the yard. I gazed upon the spiritual softness of her fea tures tho sweet eyes like "brown birds flying to the light," the fine expressive lips, the dark silken curls; I felt: that she would soon have her wish answired, and find a "refuge in heaven!"- r- '" ' t Always singing.

Some years ago there was a good deal of excitement among the good peoplo in a certain town in C eonnty, Vermont, oa the sub ject of religion, and, almost every man in the ptace was more or less awakened to a sense of JjflSy WJPPMW'111" yrtlwusMawtjon of his intention, totlead nevr, lif.Among the rest were three of the' principfe men of the village whom we,- will' ita Mr,, M, B. and d'.l'who'being'alI present' at one of the meetings, took part in the proceedings, to . the great joy of the faithful, and much to the astonishment of tho "rest of mankind" then and there assembled. M. roso first, and having made a general confession.of all his unworthi-ncss, said in conclusion, that he had always intended to be nri toriest' iriah,' but if he had wronged any ono he, was, willing fjo make all restitution. . B, followed, speaaitg in prutty pretty m'uoh the" same mnnnor, bint saying tnat, "as to' restitution, if 7ie had wronged any man, ho was willing t'oomply with the Biblo injunction, and. 'restore' uato him four fold." G. aroso next, ana spoke of his sins and wick. edness in quite as strong terms as the others had done, but coming to the "restitution" clauso, he remarked with a caution character istic of himsolf: .' "If there is any man that I have dofraudod I shall be most happy to "sit down and talk it over with him!" Vermont Gazette V. The Hermitage. , ' A gentleman who has just visited the Hermitage, the residence of Gen. Jackson, thus writes of what be saw there: .' ' "Prominent among-the curiosities was a wooden pitcher. . It was made of wood from the elm tree under which William Penn made the celebrated Indian treaty. The pitcher was made and presented by the coopers of Philadelphia, and although it is sot larger than a commen croam-jug, it contains 750 staves. Tho hoops, lip and handle are silver; the bot'om is a magnifying glass, by looking through which one is enabled to see the joints, which are not visible to the naked eyo. ;' Wo will next notice 'Old Hickory.' This is a double cup that is, two enps with one bot tom, so that when ono.is turned up the other ii turned down. It is, as its name Implies, of hickory, and, what is more singular about it has a natural handle, It is simply a block about one foot in length, both ends hollowing, and was cut cn Long Island . from a hickory sprout, the parent stem of which was severed by a cannon ball in tho war of tho" Eeyolu- U0n... . .M i t-'T: - The next things we will mention, are a calumet of stone presented by some Indian chief; a bayonet, with a large, root growth around it, found near the' battle ground below New Orleans; the cup and saucer out of which Gen. Washington, drank his last tea, and a small piece of candle found in the tent of Lord Corn wallis when he "surrendered to Gen. Washington, and closed the Revolutionary struggle.

A Hundred Yearn Ago, '0hq hundred yoars ago thoro was' not s single white man In Ohio, Kenteeky, Indi-ana,and Illinois territories. Then.wbat is now the most flourishing part of America, was as little known as the Country around the rooun-tains of tho Moon.' It was not till 1700 that the 'Hunter of Kentuck,' the gallant and adventurous Boone, left bis home in North Carolina, to become the first settler of Kentucky. ' The first pioneer of Ohio did not settle until twenty years after this time, A hundred years ago Canada bolonged to France and the whole population of the United States did not exceed a million and a half of people. A hundred years ago, the great Frederick of Prussia, was performing those exploits which have made him Immortal In military annals, and with his little monarchy was sustaining a single handed contest with Russia, Austria and France the three great powers of Europe combined, A hundred years ago, Napoleon was not born, and Washington was a young and modest Virginia colonel, and the great events in tht history of two worlds ia . which . these groat but dissimilar men took leading parts, were then scarcely foreshadowed. A hundred years ago, the United States were the most loyal part of the British "Empire, ' and on the political horizon no speck indicated the struggle which within a score of years thereafter, established the greatest republic of the world. A hundred years ago, there were but four newspapers in America steam engines had notbeen-fra-ngined, and railroads and telegraphs had not entered into tbe remotest conceptions ofman. When we come 'to look back at it through the vista of history, wo find that to the century which has passed has been allotted more important events in bearing upon the happiness of the world than almost any ether which has elapsed since the creation," . ' . -'- ' Jeddo.;' v;v ;''',':' Jeddo. I suppose, is the largest city in the world , for it covers more ground than London, with between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 of peo-pie. Without exception, it is one of the finest cities in the world; streets broad and good, and the castle, which includes nearly the whole centre of the city is built on a slight eminence-There are three walls, or enclosures round this quarter. Within the inner, tbe Tyeoo Emperor and heir apparent live. '" ' "' : The bouses of the Princes and nobles are palaces, and you may imagine the sise when some contain 10,000 followers. They' are built in regular ordor, forming wide streets some 40 yards broad, kept ic perfect order; an immense court-yard, with trees and gardens, forms the centre of each enclosure, in the midst of which is the house of the owner; th houses containing followew.'servants, sta bles; &'c.,' for" this larger'enelosure. They are built of one uniform shape.- The gateways leading to the court-yard are exceedingly handsome, of massive wood worL, ornamented with lacquer and other devices. From tt e road that leads by tbe moat to tho second wallis one of the finest views I ever recollect seeing on one side the Gulf of Jeddo, with the high hills rising beyondi while on the' other is a portion of the great city of Jeddo with its trees and gardens picturesque temples, and densly crowded streots extending as far as the eye can reach towards the interior; then there is a view of of the trees and green fields in the distance, far away beyond a thickly built suburb;but the most striking view of all is that close by the woll kept green walks of the second defence' rising some 70 feetjfrom the broad moat below, with grand old alders, over a hundred yoars of age, growing from its sides. The fine timber, tho lay of tbe ground, the water lilliea in the moat, the grandeur, good order, and completeness of everything, equal, and in some ways far. surpass, anything I have ever seen in Europe or in any part of the world. We made an expedition into the country. The cottages were surrounded with neatly clipped hedges, the private residences as well railed and kept as any place in England.' Tho same completeness and finish exists In everything. : v: ''' t .Within the last three years this Government has imported 'seventy-Eve camels' intending them to be used in conveying baggage and subsistence for tbe army over the pfains of the interior, where from the scarcity of .water and herbngc, It was difficult wih hones and mules - A portion of these camels (thirty-four in number) were imported In Itfay, I'd 5 6, and the' remainder '(forty-one) in January, 18575. The latest accounts respecting them are, that forty-nine; including all those last Imported, are at Camp Verde near San Antonia, Texas, and' the others art) employed by Liefrttnant Beats in his explorations in New Meiico sod Califrrnis.' "Tbose nlvCafcp Verde ard. reported to be in a thriving condition, ooly one of the last lot Imported having died since their arrival in this country, while some twelve or fifteen have bce'n foaled. Those young ones it is stated, bid fair to grow tip as heslthy largo and strong as those Imported thus proving beyond controversy that they can be bred on this Continent quite as woll as inAsiafiq' countries... .i. - & 1 , "' . -- , Stick to yOuf1, trade boys.and lettrn how to work, if yoU wish to bo truly Independent.

Frosteetant Church was regularly organized in ' IbSO1, h tae city of Baltimoro, by a Convention composed of an equal number of Ministerial and Lay dele- gates, elected by some thirteen Annual eoa-feronces, which had been temporarily organized during the two proceeding years. 2nd. The object of this organization of new Methodist Church, was to secure a more liberal and equitable form of church government than existed in any branch of the Methodist family at that day; a government "providing for the "mutual rights" of both Ministry and laity in- the Legislative, Executive and Judicial departments thereof, defined and regulated by constitutional enactments. . ..

A majority pf tbat body were residents of slave .states;, and.while nearly . all that class were then anti-slavery, and openly declared slavery to be a great moral evil, that deeply concerned the C7ireV as well as tbe State.bntanevil lor whicn tlicy plead forbearance, in view of its final aud peaceful exclusion from the chwrcb; nevertheless, a few ruling spirits made the subject of "refer1' a formidable difficulty In said con vent!on,wbich for a time, seriously threatened the result ef that body's deliberations. 'And finally, by management,familir with politital tricksters, they carried their point by getting an iWjV-om distinction incorporated in the Constitu tion, which has done tho South nogood,wMla ft has operated to the serious injur' of the church in the north,' and has induced, from, .time to time nearly 80,000 members to withdraw, 4th. The only , connexion between tbe northern and southern sections' of the church was in their common relation to, and interest in, a General Conference.

' The main object of this Body was to regulate certain working interests of the confederation of Annual Conferences; such as the Press, Books, Education, Missions, Sunday School?, Sec. These embraced interests common to all, and were intended as business bonds of Union. '., ' , 6 th. But at an early day the "pe'c'ttliar institution," began to give the General Conference official trouble. It happened thas : tbe "Church Organ," known as the "Methodist Protestant" was located in Baltimore; and was issued upon the 1st of Jan. 1831, edited by Dr. Bailey, now of the "National Era." This paper opened and was conducted until in March 1836, as a periodical of free discussion upon the subject of slavery, as upon all other moral subjects., During tho years of 1835 & 6, IteV. A. Shinn, tbe most intelligent and tbe most influential man in tbe Chnrch, was editor, and in his last year.and in defiance of his remonstrance, and In further disregard Of a posit ve constitutional law which declares, "No rule shall be passed to restrict the liberty of the" Press," the "Book Directory at Baltimore, at tho instance of the Slave Power, by an arbitrary rule, ruled out "every thing ujwn the subject of Slavery," Thus was the cburcb press revolutionized and trammeled by the slave power, in some 0 years after tbe Chnrch was organized. - -1 4 7ih.
