Everybody snys that Nettie Gray was a beauty, not one of your polished city belles, but a gay romping, saucy piece of nature's own linndiwork, yet gentle and nflVctionnte withal, possessing a depth of feeling and sentiment which few nre able to fathom. Now 'sweet Nettie nssho was call ed, had long been loved by one Charley Grafton the haiidsomeet vounsr merchant I I ,1 who cpi uie omy store In the village ol could boast of where ho had, N- ior some lour or livo years, dealt out tea, sugar, coffee, tobacco, calicos, silks, pins, needles, hardware and a variety of merchandise, to the villagers and surrounding farmers, he had realized quite a little fortune a part of which he invested in the purchase of widow Morton's beautiful and grounds, which, ot the death of her husband, she had obliged to dispose of und take cheaper place here she could live less expensively while from the surplus of tho price received for the cottage, she realized a snug little income. Charley had also taken tho widow's sou into the store, as his increased business made it ne cessary to procure assistance.

The salary paid to little Johnny was a material help to his mother, for which she was very grateful to the young merchant, and she never failed to speak a word in his praise whenever an opportunity presented. Ins, witli the numberless acts of crener- osity which Charley was never tiroJ of performing, made him the hero of that little village, nnr caused him to bo beloved and respected by both young and old, for many miles around. To say that Nettie Gray was indifferent to bis many visits, or for the ardent love he entertained for her, would be doing injustice to her warm ap preciative heart. But the spirit of mis chief seemed to possess her, and, though she was uniformly kind and gentle iu her disposition towards her lover, nud would converse freely and unreservedly upon any topic, yet, when he approached the subject nearest his heiirr, she was off like a frightened bird. Not that she was afraid of him or thnt the subject was distasteful to her, (for her own heurt was equally interested) but she delighted to tease him, and heartily enjoyed his discomfiture on such occasions.

She knew he loved her with nil the strength of bis soul, and she bad no fear of alienating his Directions from herself an eVCIlt which WOllld have "ivCU UCT the deCl)-ins rniti 0 nariey iiuu urgun to thinl teriously of marriage ona why not I There stood the cottage embowered in trees, many of which were Denuing under their heavy load It needed only of rare fruit, unoccupied. the gentle presence of his bright eyed Net tie 10 it a paradise. Ills income was more thun sufficient to satisfy their most extiavngant wants, and why should he not marry Many times he hud visited Net tie for the express purpose of making known bis wishes, but had a3 often been prevented from saving what he wished to say, by the little mischief's running away the hrst word he uttered on the subiect To think of supplying her place from the many fair damsels in it who would gtodly have accepted his hand, was out of the question. It was Nettie be loved, am Nettie only, and he felt sure she returned his affections, but how could he ever get married if he was never permittted to pro pose. 'I must resorted to he thought, and ho purtiully formed many plans to bring the little beauty to terms, as often abandoned them.

His mind was busy with such thoughts one bright morning in September be walked towards Farmer Gray's mansion. leisurely ascended the bill, at the top hich upon a level table land stood the great old house, when lie was startled by familiar voice culling out "Bring the ladder, Dick I want to get And looking up, he beheld Nettie seated in the wide spreading branches of a large apple tree that stood in the field near road. Dick, perched upon the topmost round of a ladder that leaned against a pear tree, was quietly tilling a basket with delicious fruit. "Wait a miuute, sis," replied Dick with looking up "I have got my basket almost full. I'll come iu a minute." "Come now, Dick 1 quick, quick, quick again culled the impatieut voice of his sister.

Dick evidently began to think tliero was something wrong, for, as he turned around, bis eye instantly caught night of hero coming up the but a few rods from where they were. He instantly descended the tree, but instead of carrying the ladder to assist his sister t.i descend, he gave a loud shout, threw bitj into the ail', cleared tho wall with bound, and ran rapidly down the hill, shout at the top of his voice, Mr. I've treed a coon 1 hen placing his hands upon the grouud before him, he turned live or six summersaults, picked up his and ran with all might to the hoiife. little rogue evidently loved mischief as as did his pretty sister. Charley's first thought was to go to the assistance of Nettie, and he leaped the wall approached the tree.

Taking the ladder from the pear tree, he was about placing it for her to descend, when a sudden thought suggested itself. "Sho cannot away from mo now," and not stopping consider tho ungallant act he grasped lower brunch, and with some gay remark, swung himself lightly up and took a scat her sido. Nettie, who was an amiable girl and couhl take a joke as good naturedly as she could give one, only laughed heartily at trick her brother played upon her, complimented Charley upon his agility and invited him to help himself to the blushing that bung in such tempting profusion about them. After chatting on a variety themes, he determined to approach the subject, and if possible, get an intelligent answer. For some time ho Eat in silence, said "Nettie I have something to say to yon." "Ah huve you 1 she replied.

"Well Charley, please help me dowu, and yon can it as we walk to the house." Charley taw the mischief in ber eyes and resolved to go on without heeding nor request yet be changed somewhat in bis mode of attack. I ed Iu at or the the The in iu the and "Nettie, I am going to bo married." "Married Charley, married Without heeding tho prayerful glance mat was raiseu to ins face, he went on "lcs, ray ousiness is now very prosperous I hnvo a pretty home, which needs only tho additional charm of a pair oi origin eyes, i nave lonuu a sweet gentle girl, wnom 1 love witli all my heart, and who is willing to become my wife, and liuve resolved to marry. I have tried I lonir time to tell voc. but vnu wnnlil not i Hear it." Nettie had listened to this speech in ut- ter amazement. hna hud long believed thnt she was the beloved of Charley Graf ton heart, and she meant, after she had tcazed bun to her hearts content, to listen to his love, and become bis dutiful and lov ing wife.

But her hopes were now suddenly dashed to atoms. It was too much. A giddy faintness ennio over her, nnd, but for tho support of Charley's nnn, she would have fallen to the ground. Charley noticed her emotion, and fenr that he had gone too far. It was but for a moment, She soon regained her self-possession, and sat uprightly by his side.

Her face was very pale, but her eyes flashed proudly us she replied, und ttiere was a spice of bitterness in her tone "May I ask name of her who has been honored with the offer of the hand of my noble friend "First let me describe her. Sho is a beautiful girl, and possesses a warm loving heart. She had but one fault it may be called. She delights to tease those who love her best, ami often hus sho given mo a severe heart pang. Yet, Nettie, I love her deeply and fervently, and it shull ba the object of my lilb to guard her from harm, to protect her.

I do it now Nettie. Dearest can you ask her name Nettie gave one long inquiring look, as tho' she but half comprehended his words.

"Will you be my wife, Nettie "What, she replied, half bewilderingly, 'Are you not forever lost to mo "Yes, if you will consent to be mine She realized what it would be to loose him her head sank upon his bosom, and bursting into tears sho murmured "Yes, Charley, I will." Soon Master Dick came bounding into the orchard, ono hand filled with a huge slice of bread and butter, while with the other he tossed bis cap into the air, showing that he fully comprehended the state of nllairs, shouting at the top of his voice ain't you glaJ I Hallo, Mr. Grafton treed her for you Loth greeted this sally with a burst of laughter, and soon all were engaged in a wild romp upon the green turf. We hardly need add that the aime au ttimii witnessed a bright merry weddinz at the old mansion of farmer Gray. The Impending Crisis of the South. Having shown that the area of tho Slave States exceeds that of the Free States by several humires or thousands of mi es.

enough to muke half a dozen Stntes of the nverftlT Si0, tlm Hilt Inn' (if thn f'riaia next proceeds to compare the population of each sectiou. By the census of lSf0, the population of tho Free States includ ing the white and the black 'as 13.429. T8G Of the free inhabitants of the Slave States Difference iu favor of the Free states, r.on.m In other words, more than two to one in favor of the Free States. If we give the Slave States credit for their human chatties, their entire population amounts to Leaving a difference in favor of tho Free States of 3,810,807 souls. This was the result nine years ago with tho rapidly increasing population of the North, and the slow progress of the South in that respect, tho preponderance of tho North would now probably reach 0,000,000.

In 1852, the militia of the Free S'Ptes amount to 1,381.843, of the Slave State to 792,870. Difference in favor of the Free States, 588,907. Almost two to one. In 1 8o5, the revenue from postage amounted in the Free States to $4, 079, 725. the Slave States to 1,553,198.

Differ ence in tavor ot the Free states Being a difference of more than three to one in favor of the Free States. During the same year the expense of trans porting the mail in the reo fetates was 2,008,295. In the Slave States 953. That is, it costs almost as many dol- urs to transport less than one-third of tho mail matter transported in the Slave States, that it costs to transport three tunes that amount iu the Free States. This proves that slavery is rather an expensive luxury all events.

In 1850 there were 02,413 schools in the Free States, and 8,507 in the Slave States. Difference in favor of the Free States, Almost three and a half to one iu favor of the Free States. The number of teachers employed in the Free State were 72,021. In the Slave Slates 19,307. Difference- in favor of the Free States, 53,314, or nearly four to one.

The number of pupils taught in the Free Slates was 2,700,001. In the Slave Stales, 581,801 a difference of 2,250,040, more than four and a half to one in favor of the Free States. In 1850, there were 14,911 libraries in Free States, containing volumes. Iu the Slave States 954, coutaiuing 81,880 volumes. Difference iu number of libraries in favor of tho Free States or more thau twenty to ono.

Difference in uumber of volumes, 3,800,373 maro than forty-sevcu to ono in favor of Free States. The number of newspapers nnd periodicals in the Free States in 1750 was number of copies printed annually, 334,140,281. Number of newspapers, the Slave States, 704; number of copies printed annually, Differeuce favor of tho Free States in number of newspapers and periodicals, 1,080 a fraction over two aud a half to one in favor of Free States. Difference of copies annually printed, 253,107,588, or uearly four a half to ouo iu favor of tho Free States. I rt vv It would be difficult to find ntltf fncle in the above statistics, or indeed in nny which we have ever seen, to prove that slavery not nu unmitigated curse ono that should not bo allowed to spread nnd carry in its train the ignorance, the poverty, the par-alyzingifluences which never fail to attend its progress.

But who knows till some effort has been made to develop it Is not man's physical strength vastly increased by a toilsome txertiou of the muscles Is not man's mental powers very dependent on self-denials, nud fatigue of application to perform his feats of strength in declamation, writing, ke. Look at Demos-thenes, aud men of gigantic intellect in our age and country. They labored for individual skill, to mould themselves into characters which will never cease to shed a radiance on all present und future history. Then try for the seemingly latent talent of music. Look for it as for a lost diamond, and on a discovery of the least spark, seize it, and work to ignite it till a flame shall irradiate to tho exertion of every mental and physical power which it needs for its full development for God implanted in every soul to honor nnd glorify Him, and if this intention of Divine benevolence be carried out, it would prove the most powerful incentive to true piety.

There is music in everything and can man be mute The music of the waters, from the rippling rill to Niagara's thundering eloquence the music of thunder calling on man to join in majestic chorus Oie melody of wind in combination with art. iriven to us the ve.r. feel ion of music. And who can resist the charms ot the feathered songsters Some botanist says there ore in the animalciila on the rose and some other petals, songsters of melodious notes. And even the insect tribe seem to vie with grades of animals of higher rank.

Let children cultivate music for it is God's gift and too many seem to forget that all intelligent beings must at last render an account for the use of tho angelic gift. Inhuman nature there is a natural response to music, nnd hence, iu ts proper cultivation it is a Divine art. aids iu accelerating pleasure from tho simple lullaby to the canon's roar. "Old Napoleon" delighted onlii in tho deeD bass of the war trumpet, or the loud notes of the drum, as they mingled with the rattle of musketry and the roar of wide-mouthed canon. Some delight in one kind aud some iu another.

But tho perfection of a cultivated taste, resides in tho chants and oratorios for Divine worship. Handel, the king of musicians, after a lifetime of music turned his attention exclusively to the composition of Oratorios. Tho Messiah was the greatest achievement of genius, und when first performed, the audience were so transported that they ull arose at the words, "For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth," and xtood till the chorus ended, and hence it becamo the fashion for the peoplo to rise when that part of the is performing. He lived to bo seventy-live years of age, and performed in public six days previous to his death, April, 1759. Those who only relish dazzling or theatrical uvjsic, are known to have a vitiated and truly pervert-ed taste mediums neither pleased with simple or sublime passages, preferring Ros-cini to Handel or Mozart.

Correct judges of music, knowing it the handmaid of nature, feel that graudeur of outline and simplicity iu detail, are the only true sources of the sublime. Let the whole cycle of our earthly existence be marked with zeal to rear the infant germ of song to tho sacred melody of our Messiah alone, and our endeavors treasured as trophies to good. Music lends a charm to everything, arousing to acriou of energy, consigning our cares to. oblivion, aud so exhilerating as to intoxicate the brain. The warrior is impetuosity and fearlessly rushes ou to danger, impetuously grasping victory or death.

In the domestic circlo discord is hushed to hurmony, the stem feelings of the heart softened, ami lulling all mental corrosiveness to mveet forgetfulness. Amid life's mishaps and adversities it buoys us up, and tends to fortify Jho drooping spirits against evil. It is the solace of sadness and the sedativo of anxiety in its notes do we not sometimes live over tho past, sighing aud weeping unaware Its persuasive power begets tho love of geutleness aud reuders tiredness sweeter. It may bo culled thn ah veld of childlrood and youth, by warding off stillemiess and discontent, mitigating tho embarrassments of inexperience, aud fostering joyous innocence. Yes, let children enjoy the sweet atmosphere of music aud gambol iu its halo of pleasure.

Commence in the nursery, follow it up at the fireside, the school, aud attach its influence to every gathering of glee aud joy, If necessary, subtract from other eujoynieuu, aud devote that time and uiouey to melody, and the tribute of applause will be award a ly in iu is ed yon. The musical family ever hold In combination other graces and deeds of enterprise. Thus will every heart rejoice and be gladdened by tho soul-stirring of melody nnd song. There Is music in all nature it dawned at her nrimeval nnd never censes to send forth her tuneful notes from the chiming orbs above, the chaotic deep beneath ns, and everything on this footstool of God's throne hath its notes of praise to Him ho gave it breath. And shall man, "who is fearfully and wonderfully made," bo a solitary mule in his Lord's heritage Awnke, arouse, and turn to Him in songs of adoration whom the angels praise.

Let the sweet notes be wafted from every house, on every street, for tho poor laborer needs its thrilling pow er cmpiatuaily above all others. Children, haste to your tasks with music and song. CHILDREN'S FRIEND. Henderson, Kentucky. The Dignity of Labor.

Since the decree went forth from the hallowed lips of Jehovah, In the sweat of thy face shalt tbon eat it has been hi? destiny of man to labor constantly and incessant ly. Nothing great or good can be accomplished without it. Think not, young man or woman, thnt you can avoid it without injury to yours If. As well might, you inln.ie the pestiferous gum-of the Upas and expect to escape unharmed. 'Foil mn w.t .1 a ut.

Deluded mortal, when that poor boy, whom you scorn nnd despise, is high npon the ladder of fame, you, perhaps will be grovelling in ignorance, poverty anil rags. Insinuate not, proud young woman, thut your blood is too noble your ancestry too renowned for you to labor. Your upon whom you look with sovereign contempt, may livo to give your starving children bread.

Travel back through the vista 'of time as far as you please, examine in every department of life, and show me a single great man whi got to be such short of long, continued, unremitting, individual labor. Go look upon the bald pate of the Athentic orator, as he labors in his cause, then judge ye the price of his productions. Ask the great Milton the amount of labor bestowed by him even upon Paradise Lost Inquire ngaiu of the American philosopher, Franklin, if ho attained the high position he occuoied in i inc world by a course or aim case, lo labor is to do the will of heaven, hen a man came forth from the hand of his creator, he lint virtu ally stamp ed npon the very tablet of his being, in 'characters of living light, the impressive injunction, upward and onward, ad infinitum. The man who looks upon honest toil as the weeds which rot on Lethe's wharf, will sink into silent obscurity. It is a lamentable fact, however, that a largo class of peoplo regard labor as dishonorable.

Nearly everybody in the country, whose father ownes a is prcciiiitatelr rusticd into a The 'old man feeds tho ardent imagination of his boy by dilating upon the wonderful achievements of Esculapiii', or expatiation upon the matchless forensic clonnenco of Cicero Burke and Calhoun.

But the young genius soon Units he has no business Qualifications and, ns a matter of course, gets nothing to uo.

Hereupon no necomes rfishenrtened and discouraged, nnd too frequently ends his life in misery ami shame. While it is trne that nothing great is attainable without labor, it is cqnally true that with it we are enabled to accomplish almost every thing of which the history of the world affords abundant proof. The Latin maxim Labor, omnii is eminently true and whatever be your hopes, your dreams of distinction, young man never forget that trite sterling trutll! Labor is what really dignifies life, and woe to him who dreams of fame or honors without it. Laziness. When we view the many improvements of llio uge, and the hurry and bustle which everywhere seen, we call ourselves on industrious people.

And so we are taken as whole yet, when we look that no one evil is gaining ground faster than laziness, nothing more or less than laziness, home ns the name may sound. Look into our country neighborhoods, villages, ntuf cities. Everybody is- trying to get a living without labor. See the peddlers traveling around carrying packs heavy as themselves not feeblo and delicate, person's unable to work, but stout healthy men, with no other disease than laziness. See tho genteel loafers every village lounging in their chairs, pitching quoits, or strutting ah ut iu all the pride of conscious idleness, with no pennies in their pockets or brains iu their heads.

Notice tho number of healthy yourg men our cities, standing behind the counter all day long, dressed in the height of fashion, and displaying to the greatest advan tago their white and ornamented fingers. Talk not to ine of its being tiresome business I wish it were a hundred times more so. Snuff np your nose," if you will, at the honest sun-browned farmer if it were not fop him, ye silly sons of laziness, yon would be poorer than you aro. I have due respect for the learned prnfessunis, but I contend that for the several years past, this has been llie great vortex for lazy people to slip into. If every other avenue leading to ease is closed, persons can tslip into this and be saved.

It is a fact, you can scarce Uud an educated man in these days, but he is too lazy to take care of himself. 11a can eat, sleep and smoke yes, even walk with tho aid of a cane but he cannot work no, not he. But this lazy principle is not cooCned to men alone, fur from it. It lias become settled fact with our Udiea -to then. of ly are a few exceptions.

If every woman in the land was obliged to work as hard as our mothers and grandmothers did, there would be fewer diseases and deaths thnn now. More dio from laziness than hard labor. I kndvr there are men and womn all over the country who labor hard, bnt how few of their children lift their finger in occupations.
