W., THURSDAY. JAN. I6. IGS, LOTTIE BROWN'S MISTAKE. Lottie Brown was the helle of the vil- lage. Just eighteen, and full of health and youthful grace, a fairer creature never waik- vd the earth. She was kin'l hearted and amiable, and was a great favorite with all classes. Her parents had died when eke was very young, and left her to the care of a distant relative. There, though loved and kindly treated, the lacked that protection and care- ful watchfulness which none but a parent can give to a child, and the loss of which makes the life of the or; tan eo sad. Hes parents had been in moderate circumstances and had left her barely 'enough to educate her, and she was now dependent upon the kindness of her cousin, Lottie felt her poverty biderly, and ardently longed for a more agreeable condition of Ife. Yet she was a good-hearted girl, and honestly shrank trom the prospects of sacrificing her hap; ness to effect a rich marriage--a step to which some of her wealthier friends ad- vised her. Of conrse, being a bel'e, Lottie had scores of admirers ; but she had, unlike most be!- les, made a dwscriminating choice from among them. Heury Williams, to whom she had given her heart, was worthy of her choice. He was only four years older than herself, and, like her, was poor. But by dint of energy, and steady application to his business, he was rising as a lawyer. He had given his whote heart to Lottie, and had received hers, without reserve, in re- turn. They wero very happy together, and mn two years fiom Lottie's eighteenth bith- day were to be m rned, By that ime Henry Loped to have the means to support a wife. Among Lottie's admirers was one who, though he worshiped fervently, dul so at a distatice, and in sile This was «ld Squire Willis, tha richest may in the neighi= barhool. Ha was nearly sixty, but hale and hearty as any young man. Natural y «hy, he hesitated to oflcr himself to the bean'y, lest sha should reject him. Wh t though I am rich 2 he thought. 1 am two old for her and she will prefer a at the re'juest of the Sqnire, who urged the precarious condition of his health ; and Lottie went to her new home. Instead of growing worse, the Squire's heal:h was suddenly fully restored. Lottie's cheeks grew paler as his became ruddier ; and, as years passed on, she grew lo be a eilent, heart-broken woman. Oll Squire Willis was kind to her, and she did hex duty as a wife faithfuily, but without love. She learned, too late, that she had made a fear- ful mistake and the awakening fiom her delusion crushed her heart. Heury Williams is now a happy husband and futher, and a nch- man. He has long since [orgiven, and has a'most forgotten, Lottie ; an l, when he thinks of her, it 1s to] pitty, and not to blame. eel A A DIVINID IN A ¢ HELL. Rev. Theolora I. Cayler, writing from Saritago to the Independent, says : [lookel in for a few moments ona even- ing (as ch | several other clegymen) upen the scenes mn Mornssey's celebratnd club house. The door stood open to all comers and a sumpiuous supper lable was provided for the patrons of the cames. [thas amost suggestive place to furnish materials for a sermon.

As at B den-Baden, the gambling | was conducted with perfect stillness. Each | | oib- | gamester gave his whole soni tot! ing game. Lags piles of greenbacks change hands rapidly. Men who at home ocoupy respectable positions were to be seen at some of the tad'es. But behind the qroups seered ta leer the satanic arc agamester, who was luring them on tos 87) younger man.

[ot those who are advocating the uso ol cards as an ¢ innccent amusement' look in | lor a moments on such a moral s'angh- {not refuse. The anvonncement of an en= {ter house as is opened hero by gagement between Lottis and Henry had ia member of a National Cor vj almost disheartened him, when te sudlen- | and they will reo what" a ire | ly and unexpec tedly but upon a plan which | of passion can bo kindled in human breq t« | he determined to try. [by a pack of cards. From the ternbie| Thero was in the neighborhood at the | time an old gipsy woman, who had created a sensation among the young fo'ks by the | wondeiful ease with which she had toll | their tortunes. To this old woinan Nquire | Willis repaired, and informed her of the | state of affairs. He told her to seek out Lottie Brown, and offer to tell her fortune ; to tell her aa old gentleman in faking health, but very wealthy, would offer her lis hand in mariage 3 that she would ac- cept him, and in two or three years be left a wealthy widow 3 that she would then marry the young man to whom she w present engaged. He made her describe with minuteness his personal appearance, 80 that Lottie could not possibly mistake the person referred tv. In threo week's time | the woman wasto seek ont Lottie, and | make this communication to her, If the plot proved a success, the gipsy was to have a hundred pounds in bnght gold. The old woman, delighted with the prospect of «uch a reward, readily promised to do her best to carry out Squire Willis? wishes. Immediately it became known in the neighborhood that Squire Willis? health was failing rapidly ; and his friends declared leave his wealth, he was about to ecek al wife in order that he might make her his | heiress, as he had no hopes of recovering. This report the Squire took good care to spread abroad, and it was not long before Lottie heard it. 3 A few days afterward, the old gipsy, in | pursuance of her agreement with theSquire, visited Lottie, and asked to bo allowed to tell her fortune. The rumor concerning Squire Willis had made a deep impression upon her, witheut exactly affording her the means of understanding why it should do ro. Of course she at once recognized Squire Willis 1n the picture drawn by the gipsy The communication mae by the old woman made a still profounder impression vpon her and she went home feeling as though she had lost all power of deciding her own fate. Shortly after this, the Squire himaell made Lote a formal offer of his hand in marriage. The poor girl scarcely con- scious of what she did in her agitation, asked for a week to consider her answer. The request was granted, and the Squire departed, feeling confident of success. It became known at once that he had made such an offer, and Lattie's relatives and friends urged her strongly to accept it. For some time she hesitated. She loved Henry Williams devoted, and she could not bear io think of giving him up. Henry himself told her frankly and manfuly that he desired only her happiness, as much as he loved her and wished to make her his wife ; he wished her to choose between her two offers, with no thoughts but for her happi- ness. Lottie suffered greatly during the week for which she had asked. Her friends re- newed their eflorts, and nrged that as the first part of the gipsy's prophecy had come tiue, there was every reason to expect the fulfilment of the rest. They told her that by marrying Henry, she wonld only increase his difficulties, and drag him down; and that by marrying Squire Willie, and being left a widow, of which there \as every rospect--and they dwelt long and earnest- P upon the Squire's failing health--she would have it in her power to marry Heniy in a year or two, and assist him in his efforts with her fortune. At last Lottie yielded. Squire willis was accepted, She could not trast herself to see Henry again, but wrote to him, telling him every- thing. Her letter was returned to her with a brief reply written on it : May heaven forgive you as freely and as | of the sultile seduction and fasei l eyes on the b relativesstowhom:tod tifaldem of the ever escaped. room seldom open but ono way. ing table few victims | 1 door to the gambling | In view nations of eamos of chance, | firmly beheve that total abstinence is the only safe principle. a er § - ONE OF NATURILS NOBLEMEN, ble- Aly thonghts were far awa men of any kind as 1 steod throng | of others in one of the eleg a establishments, sitnated on the tod promenale of our thriving metropolis. | I was one of the many who lined the | king with alminng | temptingly displayed. | obliging clerk, who could find the style re-| | quired only in a distant part of the louse, | allowed me to ho entertained with watching the stream of fair ones coming and depait- ing. ¢ And while T waited and made mental | criticism to amuse myself, an in ident oe- | cured a little out of the common obscrvaticn sitors. t, small waman ale, rad-eyed, and wearing a faded black, eamo_ in wtih anew influx of visitors, waiking timidly | and easting a hall-trightened glance at the | piles of prety stufls. | where I stook, caught her eyo 3 sha tremb- | ling enquired the price ; when she was told | my sharp eyes saw a bill twisted in the | quivering fingers with a perplex d, troubled air, and my ears heard the murmured -- « Annie will nead ten yards." « Will you take it 2" "She lifted her pale, meek face, and an- swered-- « 1 cannot, I did not thinkt would be so much." She was turning away whena pentle- man, who like myself, had been looking and listening, drew ncar, asking of the clertk-- « What does the lady want? 1 will wait upon her--you attend to the customers below."
