Laura turned pale, for she had a presentiment of what was coming. Miss Frampton then told her, that presuming she had heard from home, she concluded that it would of course be convenient to return the trifle she had lent her; adding that she wished to give a small commission to a lady that was going town the next morning.

I have concluded not to want the canary-bird I asked you to get for me, as I think it best to be satisfied by hearing the birds sing on the trees, in the garden, and in the woods. Last night I heard a screech-owl-I would rather have a young fig-tree in a tub-or else a great quantity of new flower-seeds. If you do not get either the fig-tree or the flower-Let me take the liberty of suggesting to you seeds, I should like a blue cat, such as I have how to receive him.'

How gladly would Laura, had it been in her power, have made every purchase men tioned in the letters of the two innocent little girls. And her heart swelled and her eyes overflowed when she thought how happy she might have made them at a small part of the expense she had been persuaded to lavish on the finery that had given her so little pleasure, and that was now nearly all spoiled.

Next day was Sunday; and they went to church and heard Mr. Taylor the celebrated mariner clergyman, with whose deep pathos and simple good sense Laura was much interested, while she was at the same tine amused with his originality and quaintness.

On returning to the hotel, they found that the morning boat had arrived, and on looking up at the veranda, the first object Laura saw

Why really, I don't know how I can,' replied Miss Frampton; 'I want a shawl exactly like Mrs. Horton's. She tells me they are only to be had at one store in Boston, and that when she got hers the other day, there were only two left. They are really quite a new style, strange as it is to see any thing in Boston that is not quite oldfashioned in Philadelphia. The money I lent you is precisely the sum for this purpose. Of course I am in no want of a shawl-thank heaven, I have more than I know what to do with-but, as I told you, these are quite a new style-'

Oh! how gladly would I pay you, if I could!' exclaimed Laura covering her face with her hands- What would I give at this moment for twenty-five dollars!'

All this wand with much bowing, and prosing, and apologizing. When it was finished, Maa invited Pyam Dodge to I hope I am not inconvenient,' said the take a tur the veranda, with Miss voice of Pyam Dodge, close at Laura's back; Lovel and himself, and the poor schoolmas-but I have been looking for Miss Laura ter expressed the most profound gratitude. When they were going to dinner, Aubrey introduced him to Mrs. Maitland, placed him next to himself at table, and engaged him in a conversation on the Greek classics, in which Pyam Dodge finding himself precisely in his element, forgot his humility, and being less embarrassed, was therefore less awkward and absurd than usual.

Laura Lovel had thought Aubrey Maitland the handsomest and most elegant young man she had ever seen. She now thought him the most amiable.

Miss Frampton tossed her head and walked away, to tell Mrs. Horton, confidentially, that Miss Lovel had borrowed twenty-five dollars of her to buy finery; but not to add that she had just been asking her for payment.

If I may venture to use such freedom,' pursued Pyam Dodge; I think, Miss Laura Lovel, I overheard you just now grieving that you could not pay some money. Now, my good child, (if you will forgive me for calling you so,) why should you be at any loss for

money, when I have just received my quarter's salary, and when I have more about me than I know what to do with, I heard you mention twenty-five dollars-here it is, (taking some notes out of an enormous pocketbook,) and if you want any more, as I hope you do—'

Oh! no, indeed-no,' interrupted Laura, 'I cannot take it—I would not on any consideration.'

'I know too well,' continued Pyam Dodge, I am not worthy to offer it, and I hope I am not making myself disagreeable. But if Miss Laura Lovel, you would only have the goodness to accept it, you may be sure I will never ask you for it as long as I live. I would even take a book-oath not to do so.'

Laura steadily refused the proffered kindness of the poor schoolmaster, and begged Pyan Dodge to mention the subject to her no more. She told him that all she now wished was to go home, and that she would write by him to her family, begging that her father would come for her (as he had promised at parting,) and take her back to Rosebrook, as soon as he could. She quitted Pyam Dodge, who was evidently much mortified, and retired to write her letter, which she gave to him as soon as it was finished, finding him in the hall taking a ceremonious leave of the Maitlands. He departed, and Laura's spirits were gradually revived during the evening, by the gratifying attentions and agreeable conversation of Mrs. Maitland and her son.

About the end of the week Laura Lovel was delighted to see her father arrive with || Mr. Brantley. As soon as they were alone, she threw herself into his arms, and with a flood of tears explained to him the particulars of all that had passed since she left home, and deeply lamented that she had allowed herself to be drawn into expenses beyond her means of defraying, and which her father could ill afford to supply, to say nothing of the pain and mortification they had occasioned to herself.

I know her sufficiently,' said Aubrey with animation. She is to be understood at once, and though I flatter myself that I may have already excited some interest in her heart, yet I have no reason to suppose that she entertains for me such feelings as would induce her at this time to accept my offer. She is extremely anxious to get home; she may have left a lover there. But let me be once assured that her affections are disen

'My beloved child,' said Mr. Lovel, 'I have been much to blame for entrusting you at an age so early and inexperienced, and with no knowledge of a town life and its habits, to the guidance and example of a family of whom I knew nothing, except that they were reput-gaged, and that she is really inclined to able and opulent.'

Mr. Lovel then gave his daughter the agreeable intelligence, that the tract of land which was the object of his visit to Maine, and which had been left him in his youth by an old aunt, and was then considered of little or no account, had greatly increased in value by a new and flourishing town having sprung up in its immediate vicinity. This tract he had recently been able to sell for ten thousand dollars, and the interest of that sum would now make a most acceptable addition to his little income.

When our heroine retired for the night, He also informed her that Pyam Dodge she found on her table a letter in a singularly was then at the village of Rosebrook, where uncouth hand, if hand it could be called, he was visiting round,' as he called it, and where every word was differently written. that the good schoolmaster had faithfully kept It inclosed two ten dollar notes and a five, the secret of the twenty-five dollars which he and was conceived in the following words-had pressed upon Laura, and which Mr. This is to inform Miss Laura, eldest Lovel had now heard for the first time, from daughter of the Reverend Edward Lovel, of herself.

Laura had few preparations to make for her departure, which took place the next morning, Aubrey Maitland and Mr. Brantley accompanying her and her father to town, in the early boat. Mrs. Maitland took leave of her affectionately, Mrs. Brantley smilingly, Augusta coldly, and Miss Frampton not at all. Mr. Lovel and his daughter passed that day in Boston, staying at a hotel. Laura showed her father the childrens' letter. All the books that Ella mentioned were purchased for her, and quite a little menagerie of animals was procured for Rosa.

They arrived safely at Rosebrook. And when Mr. Lovel was invoking a blessing on ng on be-their evening repast, he referred to the return of his daughter and to his happiness on seeing her once more in her accustomed seat at table, in a manner that drew tears into the eyes of every member of the family.

Sketch of Santa Anna. SOME particulars of this personage, derived from a gentleman intimately acquainted with him may be interesting to the public.

The following striking anecdote of Santa Anna illustrates his peculiar quickness and management:

THE following is a sketch of the life of General Houston from the Washington correspondence of the Pennsylvania Inquirer :

The first time that I ever saw Houston, was, I think, in the year 1820.-As I was standing at the corner of College street, Nashville, Tennessee, with a friend, a fine looking man dashed by us, and I was induced to inquire his name.

That, sir, said my friend, is Major Houston, a young man of great promise-who is rapidly rising in public favor. He is brave, and has fought gallantly with General Jackson, and in the lapse of a few years will be Governor of Tennessee.

During the revolution of 1829, while he was shut up in Oxaca, and surrounded by the I learned that Major Houston was originally government troops, and reduced to the utmost a carpenter, but soon quitted the profession, straits for the want of money and provisions, and commenced the study of law, politics and having a very small force, there had been in arms. To the latter science he was most consequence of the siege and firing every day enthusiastically devoted; but as war was now through the streets, no mass for several at an end, he confined himself to politics and weeks.

On the 20th of February 1828, whilst holding|| the office of Chief Magistrate of Tennessee, he challenged Chapman Johnson, of Virginia, to the field, and the invitation was declined. At the Virginia, Convention of that year, Mr. Johnson reported an address to the people of Virginia, recommending the re-election of Mr. Clay, and in that address, those who had participated in the battle of the Horse Shoe, as Gov. Houston understood it, were treated

with great severity. As one of the actors in

that battle, Gov. Houston demanded redress from Mr. Johnson; in reply to which that gentleman replied that the address was the production of a Convention of two hundred and he could not consider himself personally responsible for the acts of that body.

MISCELLANY.

The other, provided with witnesses, laid his whole stress on them, and on his adversary's defect in law, who could procure none; he urged the Cadi, therefore to give sentence in his favor.

After the most pressing solicitations, the judge calmly drew out from under his sofa the bag of 500 ducats, which the rich man had given him as a bribe; saying to him very gravely, You have been much mistaken in the suit, for if the poor man could bring no witnesses in confirmation of his right, I myself can produce 500.' He then threw the bag, with reproach and indignation, and decreed the house to the poor plaintiff.

The causesthat led to the separation have never been unraveled to the world and in all probability will perish with the wife and husband.-Popular clamor and suspicion were warmly excited against Houston, and to avoid public opinion, as he himself said, he became an exile in Arkansas.
