What self-denial Charles Thompson has manifested," said Sarah Peters to her frien Delia tangdon, "in refusing such a splendid salary, and staying here to preach'for us." Perhaps he did not practice as much self- denial as you suppose, 1 returned Delia. His tastes are very simple, and the country is his choice; besides his mother and sister are with him, and this is hisbirth-Dlacc." And yet most youngmen with 7ws talents eagerly have accepted of such an ofl'er as he preach in tie city to a large and fashionable audience, where his learning would be fully appreciated. Sere, but few will realize his superiority." True," said Miss Langdonj but few here can fully appreciate his superior powers of mind, but all can feel the benign influences of his piety, his charity for the outcast, his miseration for the and He will bo mijre happy, I piesurae, among of the city, altho' Were are undoubtedly pious, devoted hearts, eager to follow the teachings of Jesus.

But with all the memories o( youth and home clustering around his heart, surrounded by every thing needful to make home pleasant and comfoitable, I'must 'repeat there was no self-denial in refusing what would have been a desirable offer to most young preacheis." I am not sure but that you are right, said Miss Peters, but upon the first thought, gave him credit for There much self-denial practiced even in oar midst," remarked her friend, "self- denial more to be admired than that which consists in refusing honors and emolument, which ever bring in their tram care and perplexity. There is a sell-deninl in the cause of duty and right, which ennobles the possessor." I know you practice it, said Sarah, "for did you not refuse that elegant shawl which your father wished to purchase for you at Kew Year's, nnd prefer to give the value of it to Mis Ashley? I know it was you who was the generous donor to that widowed heart, although you have never told me." There as no self-denial, suroly, in refusing the shawl," said Delia, as she blushed deeply at the mention of her chanty, for I did not need it, did aot wish it, as my father's liberality supplies me with abundant clothing; but the case of Mrs. Ashley there is a daily call for self-denial." so?" inquired Sarah, earnestly. You know that I have been absent so long that I am not acquainted with her, and know nothing of her history." I will take the liberty, then, of informing you what the generous confidence of an early fnend hers, whom I met accidentally, has freely reposed in me. Adelaide Coleman was an only child, born and nurtured in the raids 1 of luxury and wealth, and all the advantages of education were hers, and all accomplishments seemed to blond and haimontze in her Her mother, a woman of true refinement am devotion, labeled to give to the mind of riei daughter the right tew of icligion, religion which forms the whole chai actor, moulds ery feeling ol the heart, and is tie only iiircty ot its in the changing scenes ot life, in the glow of prooiioiity aud the gloum of adversity.

Noi was she unsuccessful, fui Adelaide, amid all the of her lather's house, forqot not the triu nchcs which never fade, and in hn- beautiful ocs beamed the light of tho Uliris-tian's hope, llie incekm --s and tenderness of the Ghnitini faith. Oh, how she luxui lated the bieaihmirs of poetic sounds, and how ho. OM set mod to catdi the Maine. While othei. of her ago and station were discussing tlie meistb oi the lay fashion, she was inhaling a purei atmospr-ci from the writings ol the wise and good fore she was aware ol it, she writer that btlokcnctl great pi of her pi osc and poetio articles were published w.irm commendation.

Again did Adelaide resume her pen and breathe forth the lays ol i oniulcd yet trusting spirit. Many sought her lumd, but in for her whole thought seemid to bo of father. Thoie teat one, however, whom she loved ith all the ardoi ot email's first, impassioned love--Frederic Ashley.

Ho was poor in tlii 1 world's goods, Imt i ifh all noble intellectual gifts, and ied, lik Adelaide, the vision and the laculty His poverty prevented Ins serking her hand, but the kne winch each boa- the other, was no read it in tin 1 earnest glance of the eye. He wis i.bout to leave foi a foreign shore, and his hc.irt beat liitjh as he thought of the wealth his industry might procure to lay at the feet Yuclaidi's father, and claim as the wife of hi 5 heart. There were burning teais in hci cj es us they parted, and the mutual kiss of aiiectioii waa interchanged. How often she on the little golden circlet which pressed her thought of the absent one. But there were harder trials in stoi for her, as her father died suddenly, and upon investigation, his allairs were found in a very disor- ilcit'd state, owing to the liaudulcnt dealings ot those in whom he Siftd tapoced implicit confidence, and Aaehide, at the age of twenty, fouud herself an orphan and an outcast from her father's house, with but a small pittance for her support.

Those who had associated vuth her former days, when the of wealth was around her, did not recognize her when they met her. In the midst of all her sorrows she'looked upward for help, and set about devising some scheme for hei support. She was so fortunate as to obtain an eligible situation as a teacher, and was uni- beloved by her scholars, and respected by the community at large, although many could not demean themselves so much as to be very intimate with a school teacher. In about a year from the time of her fathei's death, Mr. Ashley returned, not laden with the wealth be had so (ondly anticipated, but with the seeds of dis case which the climate had engendered.

He and Adelaide were married, and looked sp te of all obstacles, hopingly towards the future. She continued her school, and he obtained a clerkship but writing so steadily, with the burthen of other eares, completely prostrated him, and finally his wife gave up her school and came with him to our retired illagc, hoping that a change of air and scene would revive him and eventually restore him to health. le DANIEL -WEBSTER AS A LAW STUDENT. Private Correspondence of Daniel Ariived in Boston, I looked out for an office wherein to study. But then, as I knew none of the legal gentlemen and had no letter, this was an affair of some difficulty.

Some attempts to be received into a lawyer's office failed, properly enough, for these reasons, although the reminiscence has since sometimes caused mo tosrnile. "Mr. Gore had then just returned from England and renewed the practice of the law. He had rooms in Scolley Building, and as yet he had no clerk. A young man, as little known to Mr.

Gore as myself, undeitook to intiocluce him to me. In logic this would have been bad. Ignytumparignotum. Nevertheless it succeeded here. We ventured into Mr.

Gore's rooms, and my name was pronounced. I was shockingly embarrassed, but Mr. Gore's habitual courtesy of manner gave me courage to speak. I had the grace to begin with an unaffected apology, told him my position was very awkward, my appearance there very like an intrusion, and if I expected anything but a civil dismission it was only founded on his known kindness and generosity of character. I was from the country, I said; had studied law for two years; had come to Boston to study a year more; had some respectable acquaintances in New Hampshire, not unknown to him, but had no introduction that I had heard he had no elerk; thought it possible that he would receive one, that I came to Boston to work and not to play; was most desirous on all accounts to be his pupil; and all I ventured to ask at present was that he would keep a place for me in his office till I could write to New Hampshire for proper letters, showing me worthy of it.

I delivered this speech trippingly on the tongue, though I suppose it was better composed than spoken. Mr. Gore heard me with much encouraging good natuie. He evidently saw my embarrassment, spoke kind words, and asked me to sit down. My friend had already disappeared! Mr.

Gore said, what I suggested was very reasonable and required little apology; he did not mean to fill his office with clerks, but was willing to receive one or two, and would consider what I had said. He inquired and I told him what gentlemen of his acquaintance knew me and my father in New Hampshire. Among others, I remember I mentioned Mr. Peabody, who was Mr. Gore's classmate.

He talked to mo pleasantly for a quarter of an hour, and when I rose to depart, My -young friend, you look as though you might be trusted. You say you came to study, and nol to waste time. I will take you at your word. You may as well hang up your hat at once. Go into the other room, take your book and sit down to reading it, and write at ycur con- vemonce to New Hampshire for your I was conscious of making a good stride onward when I had obtained admission into Mr.

Gore's office. It was a situation which offered to me the means of studying books and men and things. It was on the 20th ol July, 1804, that I first made myself known to Mr Gore, and although I remained his office only till March following, and that with cons dorable intervening absence, I made, as I think, some respectable progress. In August the Supreme Oourt sat, I attended it constantly, and reported every one of its decisions-. I did the same in the Circuit Court of tho United States.

I kept a little journal at that time, which still survives. It contains little besides a list of books read. "la addition to books on the common and municipal law, I find i read Yattel, for the third time my life, as it stated in the journal Ward's Law of Nations, Lord Bacon's Elements, Puffendorf Latin History of England, Gifiord's Juvenal, Boswell's Tour to the Hebrides, Moore's Travel's, many other miscellaneous things. But my mam study the common law, nnrt especially the parts of it winch relate to special pleading. Whatever was in Viner, Bacon, and other books then ubually studied on that part of science, I paid my respects to.

Among other thmes, I went tluough Sauncters' Reports, the old folio edition, nnd abstracted and put into Eug'ish, out of Latin and Norman French, tire pleadings all his reports. It was an edifying work Fiom that day to this the foims ant! language of special pleas have been quite familiar to me.

THE HEW YOBK-APPOINTMENTS In our telegraphic report last "Wednesday, we announced tlie federal appointments made at Washington, on Tuesday, as follows Augustus Schell for Collector.

Kmanuel Hart for Surveyor. Isaac V. Fowler for Postmaster. Isaiah Eyndeis for Marshal. George Sanders for Navy Agent.

Ausburn Birdsall for Naval Officer. Anson Hemck for Naval Storekeeper. On the receipt of tho news, a salute was fired in the Park, as evidence of tlie satisfaction felt by those most intimately concerned in these appointments, and the democracy throughout the State have responded to them in the same spit it of approval. We are very far from pledging ourself unconditionally to tho support of all the acts of the administration of Mr. Buchanan.

Indeed we should be surprised both in him and our- self, if an uninterrupted chain of coincidence should connect his taste with ours for the entire space of four years. Yet we must say that thus far we most heartily approve the cojrse pursued by the new administration, and especially so in regaf to the federal appointments for New York. We do nod know, of course, what applicants for office have been disappointed, but from our personal knowledge of those appointed, we cannot but approve them. The President is not the representative of any clique or faction, as the appointments which he has just given us very clearly indicate. Mr.

ScHELii, the new Collector, is one of the most eminent lawyers of New York, whose marked fidelity to the Constitution has made him. for many years, obnoxious to its assailants. In private life he is one of the most amiable and courteous gentleman with whom it has ever been our good fortune to become acquainted, and we have no doubt that his experience as a politician, and his qualifications as a lawyer will bear him smoothly through the responsibilities of the office to which he has been assigned. Mr. POWLEB, who has so" ably conducted the'postal arrangements of the metropolis during tho last four years, is justly esteemed by all classes of citizens, and by all shades of politicians, as eminently qualified for the discharge of the responsible duties to which he has been again assigned.

BMANDHL B. HAKT, the new Surveyor of the Port, richly deserves the confidence reposed in has for several years represented his district in Congress, and has always been one of the active and popular politicians of New York. Gteo. N. SANBEBS.

who has received the appointment of Navy Agent, was for many years the talented dnd-able conductor of the Democratic JRevieio, a periodical who'e exaltedliterary character, gave to its advocacy of democratic principles" an influence even wider than our own wide carried the democratic creed to countries where it had been only heard of through the misrepresentations of its adversaries. The Hon. AUSBCRN BIRDSALL, who has been selected as jheNavy Agent, is too well known in Central New York to require commendation at our hands. He has represented his district Congress, and ia several of tlie State and National Conventions, and in every position has reflected credit upon his constituency, and brought to the, discharge of his duties unimpeachable integrity and unwavering democracy. ANSON HEREICK, the Naval Storekeeper,) belongs to the press and as such his appointment is a compliment to the press which we take particular pleasure in acknowledging.

We are glad to find him allotted so lucrative a position. He deserves it. But the most remarkable appointment is that of Capt. ISAIAH EYNDEBS as Marshal of the Southern District of New York. Many a man, less independent and self-reliant than Mr.

Buchanan, would never have breasted the inevitable abuse which such an appomtmenl was calculated to elicit. Mr. Rynders has been very much traduced by our bis indefatigable pursuit and scathing exposure of the notorious "pipe-layers" have secured for him for many yeais their unremitted malignity--the organization of his famous "Empire Club" several years ago made him the terror of evil doers and carried the banners of democracy triumph over fields where open enemies and secret tiaitors had plotted for different results. Mr. Rynders is a slightly-built and naturally an unobtiu- sive person, yet when he feels that it is the duty of some citizen go forward andiake the responsibility demanded by an emergency he is never backward in coming forward.

On one occasion, several years ago, when the freedom shnekers had been blackening the political horizon by the fumes of their accustomed orgies, holding itinerant and protracted meetings in seveial of the eastern cities, they had finally made their arrangements foi a mass meeting at the New York Tabernacle. The immense building was thronged with people, and among the speakers announced for the evening there appeared the names one or two persons who had made themselves notorious (ot their attacks upon the Constitution of the United States and upon, the natre fame of Washington. In the midst ol this vast throng of fanatics a small party of the "Empire Club" had been, quietly lecl, and when tho officers of the meeting bad been iclected, a little darll-eyetl fellow stepped upon lie HUrid and mldiessed tlie chairman about is follow 3: Mr. President--flutebucn invited here evening, and some few friends who are lore with me, deeming theniselvoi us ardent 'fnonds of liberty' as any others, deem thcm- olves also embraced in tne call of tins mcct- But 1 am told that a man hab been m- ritcd to hpcak hero who makes a habit ho gets up, to speak contemptuously )l the Uomtitutioii of the United States and ifpply opprobrious epithets to the name of Washington W.e have come here determined hat Nen York snail uot te fo disgraced, and ant to tell you before-liandthfit I shall not rnitt any of the character to which alluded to be made use here to- lifrht And who arp ynu, si asked the "Pres- dent My name is Rynders, sir, I have come icro to listen to jour proceedings Go ahead" This was enough There was a perfect stillness in that vast assemblage, which became almost painful. But after a moment's the first speaker was announced and the pow-wowwas in full progress.

Rynders, iiowevor, took bis stand dose to the speakers, aud there he stood the wnole evening, watching intently every word that was spoken. But the offensive orator (a darkle about as black as the uce of spades) did not make bis appearance, and tbo meeting proceeded and terminated without a single offensive allusion either to Washington or the Constitution. It was like tho play of Hamlet with the Prince of Denmark Jeft out--the was shorn of'its aims, and on the following Sun- tlay Capt. Ryndeis was denounced from some of the abolition pulpits for having disturbed the liberty of speech! Seveial similar incidents have marked the career of Capt Rynders and made'him peculiarly obnoxious to the shriekers." We trust that his future course will be equally objectionable to them, 'and we doubt very much whether he would be entitled to the confidence of Mr. Buchanan if it were not so.

In these appointments it cannot be said that the new administration have'been guilty o) any trimming or dodging the tastes of our political opponents, On anii Crank Mi TRAVELER'S GOIDE.
