Money is what a. poor briefless lawyer wants, not love ; it’s -a great deal more substantial, too.’ -‘ You speak quite confi&ently, young m’an,’ returned his companion, ‘ perhaps the lady in question won’t have you. Don’t be too conceited, if ion have been called irresistible.’ ‘Don’t doubt it ; but I wouldn’t be tied to an old vixen for any consideration,’ responded Ralph; ‘ and in my opinion, Bars, you are afool, if you heave yourself away. There, now, that advice is free gratisâ€"mo fee askedâ€"only do tell me the whole story.’ ‘I can do that in afew words. About a week ago I saved a fine-looking but gouty old gentleman from being upset out of his carriage on Broadway. He was proâ€" fuse in his thanks. learned my name, said he knew me by reputation, told me he was wealthy, with but one child, a daughter, and if I would come down to Sea View, where he intended to pass a few weeks, he would make a match between me and her. I modestly suggested that the lady in question, might object, but he insisted that she could not; she was devoted to him and heart-whole. There it is, verbatim. I then made inquiries of a friend what kind of a girl Mr. Lafourn's daughter was, and he told me she was a scraggy 01d maid. I have her in my mind’s eye, but it’s no draw-back. I’ll marry for money, and let her afterwards take to her cats, just as she does now. That’s all. I am too lazy to work.’ And he relapsed into a. profound silence wondering secretly What time on file mor- row Mr. Lafourn and his daughter would arrive. ' ‘ There, pa, you dear old goose! listen to the description of your N elll’ exclaim- ed ‘pretty little Nelly Lafoum, arranging the curtains so that the old gentleman could overhear the conversation on the piazza between the two young rentlemen just mention.

But after a11,how much the picture is like her ? and she burst into a merry laugh, that caused a dozen dimples to play hide and- seek around her cheeks and lips. ‘ He may be blessed !’ I’ll send for him this moment, and I’llâ€"I'llâ€"I’ll cane him 1’ almost shouted the irate 01d gentleman‘ Advice to Bachelors.

We’ll see how he’ will carrying himself.’. On the next day Mr. Albertine Gower waited upon Mr. Lafourn,and was formal- ly introduced to Miss Lucine Grower. He inquired after the old gen’t health very affectionately, and soon became quite en- grossed, apparently, in the conversation that was started, but secretly he was eye- ing his intended bride, and he confessed to himself that the enthusiastic description he had given his friend Ralph did not belie her, or scarcely do her justice. Just then the door open, and a graceful young lady, with a great abundance of golden curls and very large eyes walked in. ‘ Myâ€"my niece, Mrk Gower ; Mr. Gower, Miss Lee,’ observed Mr. Lefourn, and Miss Lee acknowledged it with a slight but nevertheless graceful bow.‘ Mr. Grower was enraptured, and the contract only made his bride expectant! more ridiculous; deever, be determined to not his part, and, as a chance present- ed itself, be whispered in modulated tones to Miss Lucille that ‘he hoped to become better acquainted with her,’ though he ‘ hated liimselffor it in three minutes after, lwhen he saw Miss Lee’s mischref-loving eyes resting upon him, and realized that she heard him, too. Day after day he called,and proportion- l ally he fell in love with laughing Nell, and i fell out With Miss Lucille; while she be- came, in appearance, desperately enamor- ed of him, and Wrote him poetry by the sheet, expressing her ‘ everlasting affec- tion’â€"â€"by which he assured his friend Ralph she meant to mean the oldness of her love. In vain he tried to make love to'Nell. She accepted no attentions from ‘ her cousin’s lover,’ so she mockingly assured him, and left him more despairineg than before. . At last he could not endure it any longer, arid accordingly sought an inter- view with‘ Mr. Lafourn. ‘ So you come to propose for my daughf ter, Mr. Gouger ?’ queried the gentleman, weer;wa ered in. ‘No, sir, I have not,’ he emphatically replied. ‘ I have come to make a confes- sion, to ask your forgiveness, and crave a boon. You know how you‘eame to make me the ofl'er which you did ? Well, hav- ing been brought up to believe myself in- dependent of the world, and to study a‘ profession more for pleasure than ought ‘else, after finding myself suddenly bereft of all hopes, and poor, I gladly accepted of your proposal. I scorned the idea of love; I vowed Ilove my ease better than any woman on earth, and though I was informed your daughter Wasâ€"wasâ€"’ ‘A scraggy old maid,‘ slyly interposed Mr. Lafourn. Bart blushed at his own remark, but proceeded : ‘ I determined, provided she would no- cept me, to marry her, for your money. There, sir, is the truth, and I knew I cannot but be lowered in your estima- tion. Since I have met yourlniece, and I’veâ€"I’ve ’ ‘ Fallen in love with her,’ Observed the father, aiding him along. ‘ Yes, sir, exactly so; and I’m willing, if she will have me, to give up all ideas of wealth obtained by such mean prac- tice, and go away and work bravely for her. Do you think there is any hope ? Will you forgive me ?' ‘ Certainly,’ he responded, ‘ I should not want my daughter wedded to any man from such mercenary motives. I’ll call Nell and see what she says.’ And suiting the action to the word, he sum- moned Nellie. ‘ This gentleman has withdrawn his claims to your cousin’s hand,’ he observ- ed, taking Nellie by the hand, ‘ and actually has the audacity to ask for yours. What shall I tell him '2’ ‘ And I am poor, Name," ejaculated Bart ; ‘but you shall see I am no con- ceited jackanape. I will go away ‘and commence the practice of my prosession if you will give me hope.’ Nellie looked at her father through her blushes“ ‘ But I would be a. penniless‘ brideâ€"J ‘And all the dearer! If you are not worth working for you are not worth having.’ ‘ Ifithen,’ she returned, slyly, ‘ you wait a, year and do not change you mind if uncle is Willing The ruse was still kept up.

For a- while he ‘waa unsuccessful ; at last hi6 ‘ Which he will be,’ interrupted the old gentleman. t'alents began to be appreciated, and he was on a fair way to prosperity. At the end of the year he wrote and told Mr. Lafourn how he had succeeded, and ask- ed if he would have any objections to his wedding taking place then. He re- turned, and when he arrived he found his Nellie ‘prettier than ever. Mr. Laâ€" f'ourn said nothing, and Bart wondered at his giving such a costly wedding to niece; but when he, as the bride’s father, gave her away,‘ he was dumb- founded. As soon as the ceremony was over he rushed to his father-in-law 2 ‘ What does it mean ?' ‘It means you have married my daughter, sir,’ responded the happy pa- rent, ‘aud we have been deceiving you all the while, Lucillie is my maiden sis- ter.’ Bart was paralyzed. ‘ Your daughter ?’ ‘ And my money, as I promised !

England’s Prospects in the Event of War. If events should so shape themselves that Great Britain shall have no choice but go into a general European war, we may rest assured that she will not be found wanting in those qualities which have nailed victory to her, stand- ard in almost every clime and under every sky. It. is a common opinion among a class of people with Whom the wish is father to the thought, that in a great war in which many of the nations of the earth should be involved, Great Britain would not be able to retain her positionas one of the great controlling Powers. Her army is compared with those of France and Prussia and Russia, and pronounced inferior in numbers and equipments. Her colonies are pointed to, and we are told that in at- tempting to maintain her hold of them, the heart of the Empire would be left so defenceless that London would fall an easy pray to the invading foe. We are reminded of the disafi'ection of Ira- . land, and we are told that thousands upon thousands of Irishman on this con- tinent but wait the signal to cross the seas and aveng’e what they call the wrongs of centuries. All this we are i told, and much more. But what does ‘ it amount to? The same story hasbeen I told again and again ; in facts have _ again and again disproved it. In the 7 days of the first Napoleon, Britian wasa ' nation of shopkeepers; but the shop- keepers hunted him down, and caged upo mal tur fail; bre wrl vie wit thé is 1 ‘th( so laé hi1 sic th‘ for an (1, him in St. Helena. When was the n a army of Great Britain large and suf- b ficiently equipped at the beginning of war ‘? Yet when was her army defeated ? She was to lose her colonies when she undertook to put down the great Napo- leon ; but in place of losingl she multi- plied them. When was Ireland other than disaffected, yet what opportunity has Ireland ever been able to make out of the troubles of the Empire? The repeated fiaseos of the Fenians On this continent do not give the British people much cause to dread an invasion of' American Irishmen. If the plain truth 'ou .nd the? La ito must be told, Great Britain is more able to-day than she ever has been to resist y the world in arms. In some respects war would be to her a great gain. Her magnificient fleets would sweep the seas; ' her merehantmen would do the carrying trade of ali‘r nations. Manchester, Bir- mingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Dundee, Bel- fast, and other centres of manufacturing industry would rcdouble‘ their popula- tion and their wealth ; and the British Isl-ands would literally be the workshop of the world. Great Britain does not want war. She prefers to continue the prosecution of her great mission as a civilizer among. the nations, diffusing among all peoples the influence of her language, her laws, her literature, herI religion.’ But if necessity is laid upon her, she knows how to go into battle: and how to come out victorious, The lovers of the old land have no cause for fear. Great Britian can take care of herself. ' ‘You have taken the conceit out of Let us hope, however, that. she may not. be disturbed in her grand mission mission ‘ Foo-I: No'nEiâ€"Shoemakers‘ of peace. Let us hope that wifidom‘ shall still preside in her Councils, and that before many days shall have .rolled past it may be her proud privilege to step in betWeen the combatants, per- suading them to restore their swords to their scabbards. ‘ Peace hath her vie: tories not less renowned than war ;’ and we shall neither be sorry nor dis- appointed if, at this time, the British nation adds to its long and brilliant roll of triumphs a victory of peaceâ€"Scottish American‘. She is handsome, but is not a beauti- arising from the features, from complec-f tion, or horn shape: She truly possesses all three of them in a very high lie rec. But it is all that Sweetness of terécr; benevolence, innocence, and sensibility, which a face can express, that forms her beauty. She has a‘ face that just asses: es your attention at first, her eyes have a mild light-but they‘ awe ‘when she pleasesâ€"they'c'omfnand like a good man out of oflice not by authority but by virtue, her stature is not tall ; she is not made to be the admiration of every fool; she has all the fairness that dees not exclude delicacy ', all “the softness ,that does not imply weakness ; her voice 'is soft, low music,~ not formed to rule in' l public assembles, but to charm those who can distinguish her gentleness ; it has its" advantages, you must come close to hear it.
