The lav slieil on the attire of of our' young todies, every year, would eupporl a poor family." with time notions Lucy grew up; and we have seen adhering to them c'venon the tempting occasion of hor first parly. Vet we must confess it wns with a beating heart that Lucy entered the apartment that evening. The glnteof the lights, the crowds of dancers, the miuic, and the beautiful dresses forcibly impressed bar iinegmstion, and as i difficulty she rnnde )ier way through tho room, she could not help contrasting her compsrnlively plain with tht richer attire of moat of the company. Lucy was not alie had only what cnileil an interesting face; aed she could not conceal from her- wlf, therefore, (hat less attention was paid to hei than her other schoolmates received. Thoee.

indeed, who were no rnoro lovely ihan herself, but who wore dressa'j more gaudy, had suitors when she had none. But Lttcv was most pnined lo perceive that her eh'ildish playfellow, Frank Riich- who had just returned from the law school after completing his studies, scarcely noticed her. For years they had fell for each other ihtit ofnffvction which two children of dillbrcnl sexes, who are thrown much togs hur, often experience a mingled friendship and love, half serious. When Frank left for college Lucy had been the last one oa whom he called und his parting gift had baen treasured over since. Girls ste usually more Insliner in tbeir attachments than boys, nnd poor Lucy always pictured lo herrsolf with joy that period wben Frank should return.

But Frank had come, having arrived that afternoon, end yet he scarcely spoke 10 tor indeed, evening was natrljr laird gone, he came and shook hua4o with bar but he did not rcmtin five Uis whole time seemed to bo oogroesrd by Kate Balfour. whost costly jnoa and showy stylo made her the tolls erening, at least among ihe younger ef the male sex. Lucy thought tfcatf FnaUt Might Imve danced with her, if eeJy lor old kow deceived hersolf in that true-hearted being was, and had been ao for years. By and bye, ai she sat neglected in a corner wishing herself homo with her kind mother, the overheard two gentlemen talking. One the celebrated Judge Baldwin, and the other a member of Congress.

They were canvassing the people piesent. Now ta my taste," said the judge, dropping hit voice, though Lucy could not avoid hearing him still, '-the best dressed young lady here is Lucy Morris; you knew her mother, did you not? She there on the Ottoman. Good laatj is Ihe characteristic of her attire: there ii no flash, no symptom of vanity about it: the girl who dresses so must ba a most excellent creature; and judging from that fact alono 1 would sooner fall in love with and marry har ihan auy one here." Lucy thought she would have sunk thro' the floor, for hers were ears unused to sucli extravagant compliments. Her cheek burned, but her heart Nor was 3lie the only one who heard this speech. Frank was, nt that moment, passing Judge Baldwin, with Kale Bulfour hanging on hn aim, and involuntarily turned to Took at Lucy.

The blush which suffused her cheJk made her really beautiful at that mo merit, and Frank owned to himself that he hnd been as hatty pronouncing her face plqin as in overlooking Ihe lasie ith which she was uttirvd. For Frank was posseised of good sense; and though, liko all young men of his years, he had been caught for tho lirne, by the brilliant tienuty of Kate Balfour, he needed only reflection lo him sensible of the superior value of a i like Lucy. He fell ashamed at hinuelf for neglecting one whom such man us Judge Baldwin pruiscd. Lucy was not aware that Frank overheard the compliment, and sho waa sed therefore, when Frank, a hula Ktter in the evening, approached her. She then just about to dance wiihjja yeung man whom tho judge's wife had introduced lo her, "no doubt," as she menially said, "at her husband's recoinmendal.en." Lucy was piqued at Frank's previous coldness, and not sorry for this opportunity to te- venga herself, for, with nil her virtues, Lucy was but human, She replied, therefore, with cold dignity to Frank's address; and immediately rose to take her place in the cotillion.

And Frank his lip and flirted more earnestly than orer wilh Kalo Balfour. From thai moment, however, Lucy was no longer left lo seclude herself in a gentle loveliness was hidden from sight. Once on the floor a down eyes wore aitructed by her and ele- pemon; and as soon as ihe set was finished she was besieged wilh suitors, unking iho pleasure of her hand for the dunce. In a few m'nutesshe was engnged for cvrry quadrille i tne weni home with proud heart to recount 'ho events of the evening lo her pu- i'unl; nor will wa conceal that a portion of hor secret satisfaction arose from her having bean so much i in spile of Frnnli Kituhtu'a neglect. There wns something ihutenng lo her pridu in it, und we duubl it' many of our I'jir roadors would felt dillarcntly.

Frank Ritchie hud culled on her too, 11 ml sti 1 nutde occasional visits; but he never presumed on a mo'e Ihan common acqiminlnnceship; and i conversation was, therefore, reserved and even cold. Lucy, wilh proper pr'dc, was determined to make no advai.cn; and Frank was daily becoming more and more convinced thai she disliked him. He accordingly sought tho society of Kats Balfour, who had first attracted him and soon Ihe gossips of ihe village pronounced lhal it would be a mulch between Ihe gay belle and ihe rising young luwycr. Vul Frank really Lucy, though ha was becoming every day father entangled in the toils of the vain coquette.

Judge Baldwin who Imd been the bosom friend of father, suspected this, both from his demeanor when in Lucy's company. was caught, nt first, like very young men generally said the judgs to his wife, "by the glitter of our village- bella but his strong sense muet teach him that Lucy is the pure gold while Kate is but the counterfeit. It is a pity he should throw himself away. And 1 suspect that our sweet Lucy has not altogether forgotten their childish attachment." "You right," said Mrs. Baldwin.

"1 am no observer of young lady's hearts if Lucy docs nol love Frank. But a distrust has grown up between them: he is reserved 1 an? che dignified and really, 1 am afraid, it will end by his marrying MisaBalfodr." "That would be a pify, for I belfeveshe only Frank for money. She is a vain, htartless flirt, who cares solely fur admiration and display. Lucy, oa Iha contrary, is a sweet creature, with a henrf that would be a treasure to any one. I don't approve of inlerl'eroing in such msl- lers, but really I am sorry to see two young people.

who are ao fitted for each other as Frank and Lucy." "Stay 1 have it, aaid his wife suddenly. "Trust" a woman for anonaging a love affair! 1 will bring- Lucy and Frank together, if they admire each other; and, if not, no harm will be But how." 1 scarcely know yol mjeelf. But you may rely on me that all will be msntgod wilh due regard to the feelings of both Lucy I sure of thit," said the Judge, casting on his wife a fond look, which showed that twenty yesrs of matrimony had not aoncd his confidence in her discretion. A few aftetwanftr there to be a social party at the house of the Judge. Frank was thete.

So, too. was Lucy, and wilh her Henry Clarence, the young million- arie of the village', whose atfeMioai to our heroine were tbe talk of the whole was unsettled and nervons through nol laughing gaily, he was plunged in abstraction. At last he stole out, as he thought, unobserved, on the balcony overlooking the garden. Directly, light finger tapped his shoulder: be turned wilh a start, and beheld Mm. Baldwin.

Ah!" shosaid, "did you think me Kate? Come, you have been nbsent-mtuded all the evening: confess now il is because Miss Bailout is not hare. But you know she was too ill to 1 did not know it till I camo here," aaid Frank, pointedly. Ah! that will not do," gaily retorted his hostess. I do not wish to pry into your secrets, Frank," she said, more seriously, "but 1 consider myself half a mother to you. ind if you are going to marry Ballbur you ougbt lo toll mo, so that I might cultivate her acquaintance for your sake.

All the village pays it is so. Really, I iqust be growing old, for here are both you and Lucy about to be married, when il seams but tsrday that you children." "Lucy about lo ba since you say it, it must be true," said flunk, surprised out of his composure. said bis hostess now fully convinced of the state of his heart, you mistake. Lucy is not engaged, and if any one her, ha is very foolish lo let anuther carry off the prize until he his seriously sought her hand. There is nothing like frankness in these matters reserve and loubt one side may be magnified into dislike on the other, and so produce equal coldness." Sho Ijid her hand on his arm as she spoke, looked earnestly into his f.u.-e, and then disappeared into the crowded room.

She has read my hesrt. The secret is out," Frank, his first feeling being one of bitter mortification. But tho next moment hope dawned OB him. Surely," he aaid, Mrs. Baldwin knows moro than she has told.

She ii loo sincere to taise hopes she knows cannot be fulfilled. Can she have discovered any thing in Lucy? What a fool I hare been, at any rate, to be so reserved," he said, is in reviewing bis conduct, ha now s'tw what little bis pride had suffered him lo do to remove Lucy's coldness. I cm but fail." Mrs. ildwin soon mot Lucy, who, although receiving the homage of i crowd of suitors, appeared spiritless and absent. The truth is she had just heard thut Frank and Kato were really ongnyed.

My dear," snid licr hostess, have you seen this new volume of poems? They arc on my and she adroitly led her forward, for she saw Frank, st I lull moment, standing there. Ah! here is Mr. Ritchie, he knows the aulhot well," tmd with still further tact she thus managed to draw the two lovers into conversation on suliject in wh'ch she knew Frank would shine, il'on itny. Nor was she mistaken al ihe success of her plan. Frank had suddenly tegsmcd his old ease of manner, and Lucy, mfter a momentary embarrassment, likewise lost ill restraint.

Before Iho evening was spent every ono was talking of the new fl ttatioti between Lucy and her old playmate. But il was no flirtation. Lucy was loo fianl; coquet i her lover, and his i afferl'on for her was soon rewarded by Ihu promiHO of lust -Many and worthy were her oilier for, whilo the vain and foppish sought Kale Dalfour's sorisly ihu most estimable young men of the village had long preferred her. So true is il thai real worth, though it first it mny be overlooked, must eventually win its icwatd. It would bo well if all rcinsmboied this on CO.MINO OUT.

A London corres' pondenl of the New York Commercial gives the following anecdote, and recenl cula trick wich was played by one Mr. Smith (John, we presume,) in the cily of London: A curious anecdote is related in ion with thr lale seizure, by iha excise, of the distillery of Messrs. Smith--an enormous establishment, paying upward of annually to the said duparlrnant. A few days before the seizure was made, two dr three of ihe surperviiors excise walked into Mr. Smith's counting house, and expressed their wish to sea a certain vat upon a certain part of his premises.

(They had, of Course, been ia- form'd that this vat was filled with spiritH not duly reported to them.) He Cheerfully assentsd to their desire, and ringing a bell requested them to be ssatad, until a person came to conduct them lo the desired locality. Four or five minutes elapsed, and no one arriving Mr. Smith again pulled the bell rope with a good deal of energy. After another lapse of three er four mmuies, the bell being still unasweiod, Mr. el pressed his re'grul and surprise at the neglect of his clerks, and immediately offered his own cervices to escort them.

He pro eared a light, and attended thein to thai vat in question, Which proved to be entirely empty. The government re ttirnud disappointed; but when, some days later, upon farther information, a anizure of Mr. Smith's entire' eatttblibhitteal made by Ihe excise, it was discovered that when Mr. Smith so actively pulled the bell rope alluded to, he rang no bell, but opened a huge valve in the.bourn* of the spirit vat and dneharged its into the Tames. the fiflrt- ing parsonof the Joneaborough Whig, who is new travelling among the South Carolinians, gives the following acaownl of those immense' The real South Carolinian assumes to be a mm of muen imporwaee, aarfiB his or mflty, he throws trinvself bock like an English lord, tilling aslrida seal, and sticking nit Itgs out in imitation of the man riding a comet, in comic almanack Ne matter where yeu meet with the traveling Sooth Carolinian, be always hiw his wb IB hand, a cigar in rooulh, and upoo countenance aa great imtorlanoe.

Foreigners often remark that we are in the habit of holding ourselves upas a wonderful people, yet it seems to us that our national vanity will be strengthened by a perusal of the recent report of the Patent Office. At a glance, the mind can perceive what a stride, during even ona year, the improvements have advanced in all those articles which add to the comforts or of man. Tbe Patent office at Washington, has been appropriately csl'ed the visible Embodiment of American character, Genius and Liberty are clearly to be traced in the thousands of rare models there gathered, Irom every section of Ihe Union.

The lary of Ihe nrls seem to show tlmt it is an instinct in every American to suppose that nothing is as it should bo--that even thosu things which seem the mrtat perfect, are susceptible of some new and additional improvement. The American mechanic looks upon i as Ihoy are, not ta Nd- mire, but to see some detect, in order thnt a remedy may be nddrd. "Go ahead" seems lo bo hit conttnun! spur from the arndle to tho grave. This hav unquestionably become a national bnauty of usefulness, rather than the mere beauty of the eye, is a national sion, yet it aeomi to be on all-wise law, that as improvements are more and more perfected, il is found lhal and rr.osl purfect t.sle accords with the highest usefulness. The great object of the mechanic artsof this country is to more beautiful article with lesi and less expense.

One can see at a moment the sound democratic tendencies of such improvements. They enable those in moderate circumstances, and they must ever constitute Ihe great mass, to maintain appearances wilh i morn wealthy neigbors, and thus diminish thoao wide dutmciiens which arc too apt to grow between them as our country grows in wealth and population. Social inequalities are undoubtedly one of the great causes of alienation and distrust between the rich and the poor. A true patriot will, therefore, hail wilh joy every improvement that cheapens Ihe expense of furnishing, while it beautifies and renders more comfortable the lowly dwelling of tho poor. These improvements will be Ihe best cement lo bind together the rich and the poor.

Such thoughts naturally arise while reading Ihe history of patents grunted during the They embrace every branch to which mechanical ingenuity is applied from improvements in the manufacture of iron, sugar, and salt, ta iha most trifling articles. Four hundred ttni ninely-oighl new patents have been istued during the past year. Tho applications for patents exceeded one thousand. It is gratifying to perceive that the patents were on subjects eminently national. Of Ihe four hundred and ninety- eight, sixty-nine, or orn-sevenlh of Ihe whole, were for improvements in agricul tural implementi.

Th upeaks well for Ihe attention und science which is now di reeled tn the Hinge of the soil. In chem istry, the handmaid of agriculture, twenty seven were granted. Whilo we are speaking of mechanical ingenuity, it reminds us of a very remarkable recent invention, by an English mechanic, of ages past, quicksilver, commonly known as mercury, has been the only conling for mirrors. A coaling ol silver is now substituted. It is well known that the working in mercury is extreme'y a almost poisonous.

The use of silver renders il a perfectly healthy trade, while tbe mirrors are said to exceed in the benuly and power of reflection, those finished with quicksilver, of so great importance, This discovery lhal il is said iho Rothschilds, who work ihe gren'. quicksilver mines of Mexico, have offered for ihe tuppftstnan (if ihe discovery. Among the very ingenious American inventions, during the last year, there is ono in Ihe slicking of piivs on paper, which is thUs intelligibly explained: "The machine for sticking in papers, fo which oUr attention was called last year, although an important discovory in this branch of manufacturing industry, wai very imperfect, from tho circumstance that Ihe had to arrange (he pins with the heads all in tile game direction--the' moat troublesome part of the operation, from its excessive ladiouanesa.

The exhibition of peculiarities of American mind and character, is no where more striking than in the inventions of our mechanics. They manifest that variety of taslo, that ingenuity of adaption, and that restless spirit of innovation and improvement which springs from free education, sound morality, moderate tnxnjiqn, and free government; and which have already covered our land with such multiplied blessings, thnt the people of the United Slates have become at once the wonder, while they are the fear of the ciowned of the o'd world.
