“ Miss Ophelia ooked doe iringly as her cousin took all her treasures rom her, and re- joiced to find herself once more in a carriage with them in a state of reservation.

“ Where’s Tom? ” sui Eva. _

“ Oh, he’s on the outside, pussy. I'm going to mks Torn up to mother for it pence-oflering, to make_ up for that drunken fellow that upset

“ Oh, 'I$<i,in will make a splendid driver, I kirpx,” said Eva: bed; nevpr get tfirunk.” . t

e carria stop in ront c an ancien mansion, buif: in thliet odd mixture of Spanish and French style, of which there are specimens in some parts of ew Orleans. It was built in the Moorish fe.slrion—o squnplq building oracles- ing a court- rd into which e car-ringe rove through an gched gutewhy. The court, in the inside, had evidently been arran to gratify a picturesque and voluptuous idea it . _

ide galleries ran all around the four sides, whose Moorish arches, slender pillars, and ar- abe ue ornaments, carried the mind back, as in a resin, to the reign of Oriental romance in 8 in. In the middle of the court ii fountain tlifcw high its silvery wiitcr, falling in a never- ceasing spray into a marble busin, frin d with a deep border of frugrurit violets. '1‘ re writer in the fountain, pcllucid as crystal, was alive with uiyriuds of gold und sliver fishes, twinkling npd darting through it like so many lilvking jaw‘; e e. e ountsin run is we , ve with a mosaic of pebbles, laid in various iinci- ful tterns; and this a in was surrounded by tur , smooth as on vs vet, while a carriage- rivc enclosed t e whole. we lnr orange see, now fragrant with blossoms, threw a de- licious shade; and, ranged in a circle round upon the turf, were marble vases of arube uc sculpture, containing the choicest flowering plants of the tropics. Hugo pomegranate trees, with their glossy leaves and flame-colored flow- ers, dnrk-lcuvcd Arabian jessamines, with their silvery stars, geraniums, luxuriant roses bend- ing beneath their heavy abundance of flowers, go den jessaminss, lemon-scented verbena, all united their bloom and fragrance, while here and therle a mystic pldkuloel, kwith itshstranglqi massive eaves, eat oo in i e some oary o enchanter, sittin in wei ndeur among the more perishable loom and ragrance around it.

The galleries that surrounded the court were fcetooned with a curtain of some kind of Moor- ish etul, and could be drawn down at leaeure to exclude the beams of the sun. On c whole the appearance of the place was luxurious and m.ii"iii:' ' d ' 2 ed l'k

carris rovein, vaseem res bird ready to boat from a cage, with the wild ea mess of her delight. ' Oh, isn't it beautiful, lovely! My own dcnr, darling home !" she said to Miss Ophelia. “ Isn't it beautiful 1”

‘- ’Tis a pretty place,” said Miss Ophelia, as she alighted; " though it looks-rather old and heathcnish to me.”

m t down ll-om the carriage, and looked about with an air of calm, still enyoyment. The negro, it must remem , is an exotic of the most gorgeous and en rb countries of the world, and he has dce in his hearts passion for all that is spilclndi , rich, and fencifuilgtal passion which, ru e y indulged h an untra n mate, draws on them the ridicu e of the colder and more correct white race.

St. Clare, who was in his heart a poetical voluptuary, smiled as Miss Ophelia made her remark on his premises, and, turning to Tom, who was etandrn looking round, his beaming

in.

All this yssed in a moment, while trunks were bein ustlcd cl, haokman paid, and while a crowd c all agcsand eises—men, women, and childreu—oame running through the leries, both above and below, to see mse‘r c e in. Foremost among them was a highly-dressed young aiulatto man, evidently a very diuingue personage, attired in the ultra extreme of the mode, and gracefully-waving a scented cembrio handkerchief in his nd.

This personage had been exertin himself, with great alaority, in drivin all t e flock of domestics to the other end oft e vcrandah.

“ Back ! all ofyou. I am ashamed of you,” he said, in a tone ofauthority. “ Would you inn-ude on master's domestic relations, in the Irst hour of his return 1"

-All looked almehed at this elegant speech, dellfired with quite an air, and stood huddled bgcther at a respectful distance, except two etsnt porters, who came up and began convey-

in awe the be . rig to Mr_.8€F<i,lph’s systematic arrange- ments, when St. Clare turned round from pay- ing the liackmen, there was nobod in view but Mr. Adolph himself, conspicuous n satin vest, d -chain, and white pants, and bowing ex rcesiblc grace and suavity. “Ah, olph, is it you!" said his master, ofirlnghis hand to him ; " how are you, boy?" while dol

poured forth, with t fluency

an extem ,_ ry speech, which had an , ' ,with tcare,foret‘ortnihgtbofcre.

St. Clare came in, embraced his wife in true, orthodox, huebnndly fashion, and then presen- tedto her his cousin. Marie lifted her large eyes on her cousin with an air of eomecuriosity. and received her with languid politeness. A crowd of servants now ressed to the entry door, and among them a middle-aged mulatto woman, of very respectable appearance, stood foremost, in a tremor of expectalion and jo at the door.

“ Oh, there's Mummy !" eai Eur, us she flew across the room; and, throwing herself into her arms, she kissed her repeated] .

This woman did not tell her, that s in made her head ache, but, on the contrary, she hugged her, and laughed, and cried, till her sanity was 8. thing to be doubted of; and when released from her, Eva flew from one to another, shukiiig hands and kissing, in a way that Miss Ophelia afterwards declared fairly turned her stouiuch.

“ Well !” said Miss Ophelia, “ you southern children can do something that I couldn't."

“ What now, pray 1" said St. Cliiro.

“ Well I want to be kind to everybody, and I wouldn’t have anything hurt : but to

kissing ” “ Niggers," said St. Clare, “ that you're not up to ; oh 1"

“ Yes, that’s it. How can she?

St. Clare laughed as he went into the passage. “ Hallo.’ here, what‘s to pay out here l Here you all——Mu.nimy, Jirnm , Polly, Suki-.y—gl:id to see mus'r l" he siii as he went sliiiking hands from one to another. “ Lookout for the babies !” he added, as ho stumbled over ii sooty little urchin, who was crawling upon ull-fours. “ Ifl step upon an body, let ’em mention it."

There was an a iundanoe of laughing and blessing mus'r, as St. Clare distributed small pieces of change among them.

“Come, now, take ourselves of. like good boys and girls," he said ; and the whole associ- blago, dark and light, disappeared tlirougli it door into in large veriiriduli, followi-d liy I-lvii, who carried a large sun.-liol, which she had been filling with ripples, nuts, candy, ribbons, laces, and toys of every description, during her whole homewurd journe .

As St. Clare turned to back, his eye fell upon Tom, who was standing uncut-iil_v. sliiftin from one foot to the other, while .~\ilolpli stood negligent] leaning against the ll:'.lll:4!t‘I'.'i, ex- amining ' om through an Opéhl-glalfis, with an that would have done credit to any dandy

ivin .

“ uh! on puppy,” said his rniistcr, stri- king down the opera-glass ; “ is that the way you treat your company. Seems to me, Dolph," he added. laying his finger on the elegant figured satin vest that Adolph was sporting, “ seems to me that's my vest.”

“ Oh ! ninstcr, this vest all stained with wine ! —-of course, a gentleman in master's stondin never wears a vest like this. I undcrstoodi was to bike it. It does for ii. poor nigger fcller like rue.”

And Adolph tossed his head, rind asst-d his fingers through his scented hair’ wit a graicc.

“ So, that's it, is it!" said St. Clare, careless- ly. Well, here, I’m going to show this 'l‘orri to his mistress, and then you take him to the kitch- en ; and mind, you don t put on any of your aiirs to him. He's worth two such puppies us you."

“Muster always will huvo his joke," suid Adolph. laughing “ Pin delighted to sec mus- ter in such spirits."

" Here, Tom,” said St. Claire, beckoning.

Tom entered the room. c looked wistfully on the velvet carpets, and the before unimiigined splendours of mirrors, pictures, statues, and curtains, and, like the Queen of Sheba before Solomon, there was no more spirit in hiru. He looked afraid oven to set his foot down.

“ See here, Marie," said St. Claire to his wife, “ I’ve bought you a coacliniun, at last, to order. I tell on he's a regular hcarso for blackness and so riety, and will drive you like a funeral, if you want. 0 n your e es, now, and look at him Now, on’t say, never tlriuk about you when I’m one.

Marie opens her eyes, and fixed them on Tom, without risln .

" I know he’ll get drunk,” she said.

" No he's warranted e. pious and sober article.‘

“ Well, I hope he may turn out well," said the led ; “ it's more than Iexpect, though."

“ Do ph,” said St. Clare, “ show Tom down stairs; and mind yourself,” be added; “remem- ber ylvlpit I told ylou."

A o h tri pe ncefull forward, and Tom, with luiriberiii mild, wcntyuftcr.

“ He's a. per cct behemoth !" suid Mario.

-‘ Come, now, Marie,” said St. Clare, souting himself on a stool beside her sofa, “ be gracious, and any something pretty to a fellow.‘

“You've been no a fortnight beyond the time," said the la , uting.

“ Well, you know wrote on the reason."

“Such a short, cold, letter .” said the Indy.

" Deer me! the mail was just going, and it had to be that or nothing."

“ That's just the way always,“ said the lady; “ always something to make your journeys long,

letters eho ”

“ See here,'now,” be added, drawing on elo- tvelvct oassout ofhis pocket, and opcnin it, ‘ liere’e a resentl got for you in New Yor . It was a erreoty , clear and soft as an en ving. representing Eva and her iiitlier

MAINE LIQUOR LAW AGITATION.

Resolirtiurie adopted at l Public Mt-cling, held at the Tcriipemncc Hall, on the 25th March (Good I"riday'),to- gctlier with the speeches in reference thereto.

(Conlimud from our last.)

2. Moved by John Arhuckle, Esq., seconded by Rev. Mr. Nerr:ivvay—

Resolved, That, in the opinion of this Meeting, it is expedicrit to prohibit by Law ell lrutiic in >pirit- noun or lntcxicrrlirig Liquors, or the iiiuriufriclure or distillation thereof, for any other than medical or rrreclianical purposes.

‘llr. Airnucrtm-:.—lllr. Cliuirruaii; This Resolu- tion which on requested me to submit, refers to the propriety ol erideuvuririg to obtain the passage of such Lnivs as shrill etfectually rohibil, under ropcr and elieclive penriltiee, the iquur 'I‘ralfic. in as my seniirricnls on this subject are well known in this corrirnuriiiy, I intended to occupy the time now allot- ted me, in discussing the benefits and blessings result- ing from total abstinence, for the illusrriiiiou and the osinhlii-hriieni of this Resolution; and udduce argu- ments to lllrlllbllle the public mind of some erroneous views entertained by rrirrny in relation to the Mriine Lrrvv us ri suuiptunry eniicrrrrent: bower, us the Rev. Mr. Nurrnwny has consented to second the proposi- tion, I cheerfully accord to that gentleinrin every pri- vilege to w "eh I um entitled on the platform on this occasion. Perinit lire, therefore, Mr. Chairman, to read the Resolution, and their resume my seat.

Ilev. J. R. NARRAWAY, in secouding the second Resolution, spoke, in substance, as fol|ows:——Mr. Cliairruan; it is almost presumption in me to rise be- fore this audience to-day, inasmuch as the Resolution I intend to second. was placed in my hands only a few hours since; and I have therefore had no time to think closely upon ii question that demands both accu- rate and profound thought. I throw myself upon the indulgence of the meeting. The Resolution asserts, “ That in the opinion of this Jllceling, it is expe- dient to prohibit by Law all lraflic in Spiriluous or Iiitoricirling Liquors, or the manufacture or distil- [alien thereq/‘,_/"or unyol/icr than mi-rlr'r'al or mecha- nical purposes.” It can never be expedient to per- petrate ii wrorig,—ivli:itever rrirr be the motive, and whatever may be the result. Ifltherefore. the tratiic in intoxicating liquors be morally right,—if it rests upon the wide basis of benevolence or justice.-—it must not only be inexpedient, but wrong, to prohibit it, either by Law, _or by iiriy other agency. What then is the true cliriracrer ofthie trnffi ,’ In what ra- lntion does it srrrrid to the moral, men rd, and physical well-being of this community ? Previous speakers have eliewn how horrible is the train of uniilloyed evils that is produced, necessarily produced, by the use, as a beverage, of intoxicating liquors; and, Sir, that use could not possibly continue, but for ilietratiic in those final drinks. Surely no eerie man can engage in this llqiior business-—in its nrennfucture, its impor- tation, or its sale, unless the blessings conferred by it greatly counterbalance the evils which it inflicts. ls sue the ease with this tretiic 2 Does it develops the resources of the country .’ Does it bring forth the hidden treasures of the land or the sea, to reward the services of diligent exertion? No, Sir! it dcvelopee no resources; it discovers no hidden treasure. True, the manufacture secures a rrisrket for ii portion of the surplus grain of the hard-working farmer, and may stimulate the production of those reins which furnish
