SOULE. * Services had. commenced in the neat little sanctuary which the inhabitants of Fairmount had consecrated.to the worship of,God.. .Tho minister haifread the Psalm and the Scripture lesson and the first lines of. the opening hymn. Tho eyes of'his people were fixed intenily-jup- oa-hirn T -for-ha-was-n.ot-oidy-a-good r j>o eloquent preacher, but he was a tine looking one too, and thus enchained uuusually not only the attention of tbe true but of the false wor shipper. The house was very still—the clear, melodious tones of the speaker were the only sounds that throbbed on the balmy, golden air, which the midsummer morn had \breathed into that holy placo. The first syllable of the sec- ond'ljne-was trembling-on hfs lipspdien a rus-\ lie at the door, and tho entranccof two persons, a lady and a gentleman, dissolved the charm.— In. n second every eye turned &om-the pulpit to the broad aisle, and watched with more than or dinary interest tho progress of tho couple. A most searching ordeal were they subjected toj and when tliey were fairly seated in tho front pew im'mediately beforo the pulpit what a nudg ing of elbows there was, and how many whis- 'pers, too. in vain sought tho good, the sound, eloquent, tho handsome Mr. B. to seal.again the attention of his hearers. Tliey had eyes and thoughts for nobody but Widow C. and Widow C.'s young and dashing looking attendant. _ How she had cheated them! Hadn't she saidUfi hunOred~times or more, that her heart *as in tho gravo of her buried one ; that she never ^gould marry again? Hadn't she refusjcd always,.td-walk with any of tho unappropriated gentfemetvotf the village? Hadn't she said she, didn't feel as though she ever could wear any thing but mourning ? And in spite of all these protestations hadn't she come out, all at once, dressed all in white, and walked into tho church in broad daylight, leaning on ttIo \arm of a,young gentleman 1 ' » • Yes, indeed she had. She gould have'plead- eS guilty to a \~ ~ hese charges,grave oriesii were, and to tbo last two, how many witnesses might bgsubpoencd. Slid was actually dressod in wliito. A in »niii .jfnl robe of India- mull, tuck- ed to the waist, with an- open corsage, display ing an elaborately wrouglrt chemisette, drapery sleeves trimmed with the richest Mechlin lace, undersleeves of the same expensive material, a white-crape-shawlf a-wbite lace hat-with orango. buds, whito Jcid gloves and white gaiters ; such was tho description every lady had on her tongue's end to repeat over as soon as\ service was closed. And the gentleman—h'o loo was dressed in style. Don't ho wear-whito pants of the-)atest-pattern T and a white vest, and a coat of \satin finish,\ and whito kids too? and. didn't he sport a splendid diamond, a massive chain, and didn't ho ga?;e- often and tenderly on tho fair creature beside him 1 Ah, yes, ho did so, and there was no further room\ to doubt.— Wijowjijhad cheated tlicm? Sliohadwon a beau, laid aside her mourning, put on bridal at-| tire, andfwas going to be married in church.— But who tbo_bcau was, or whence ho came, was more diflicult to so]Ve. Service proceeded.^ !Thc choir sung, tho min ister prayed and_ preached—the people wondered Wncn tho ceremony wfiuld take place. But to their-uttcr astonishment they, were left to won der:—For-^vhcn the benediction was jironouncedJ^hasis-r4tiug^rrifao-<Acy Widow C. and the strange gentlenfan walked \ \' 9 with thercst of the congregation quietly put, of the «hurchr \When they\ reached tho paye- ment he offered his arm very gracefully, and she placed her arm very confidingly on the beauti ful soft^cpat-sleevo, and they passed on\. What a nooning was that in B 'airmoTmtr!— W;hata world of conjectures, surmises,'inquiries and doubts \roll over' and over in the brains of not only gossiping ladies, but'iober, mattcr-of- fact-geatlemen.

' Everybody Itad something*'to tell, something to wonder about. But suddenly every majrpio -tqpgM->-\H\ tintlipfT* a-rmiynrsal stroko o ^jjiVmh- palsy seemed to havo fallen on tho group, as looking up, they perceived tho very lady about whom they were conversing so eagerly, stand ing in tho'door-way. \Good afternoon, ladies,\ said site, in her usu al quiet way. \ I'm glad to seo so largo and happy a gathering. It is a beautiful day for our meetuig ;\ and then sho proceeded to tho table, helping herself to aTflbck oT patch-work, inquiring for tho sowing silk, which having re ceived, she sat down in. tho only vacant chair, and commenced hoiuming'-rr-very red bird with a yellow wirrg on to a green twig, which latter had been hemmed on to a-squaro pioeo of whito cloth',- and tho whole completed was designed to form thd twentieth part of a bed spread. She seemed all engrossed with tho bird's bill, and spoko to no ouo. Everybody wondered if bhc had heard what they were saying wheli sho came in, but her placid countenance soon re-assured tho' most fearful, and every one longed To com mence a personal attack. • * Old Grandma W . was tho first to do up tho matter very delicately, and in so \ rouud about way,\ tbo* lady should not suspect her of curiosity. So she, began by. praising Mrs .J C 's dress.. \ Why, it is a real beauty,\' said sho ; \.where did you get it?\. \ I bought it,\ -Was the quiet reply; - 'llleroS\ \No.\ .' \ In New York, last spring?' \0 you did, did you ?

N. P. Willis who was supposed, eighlcon- monthsago, to ho far gone into consumption, and who hits, sinco almost entirely recovered his- health, attributes tho beneficial cbango princi pally Jo fresh air, careful diet and exorcise. On tho point apparently of dying, ho' removed to tho Highlands, and began to ride daily orrfibrso- back and work in the open air. Tho result was a pocaptiblo improvement, which has continued JbjianQifl-thaiiA jicar,.imd which has loft bim now robust in appearanco and nearly altogether freo from disease. For part of this timo he lived in a rudo farm-houso, while his'cottago was being crectcfTfand though tho cold rooms full of drauglits, irritated his lungs while in-doors, ho obtained-rcliof tho moment ho found himsolf on horseback, or working with his axo in tho open-, air. Occasionally, after participating in pastries^ or rich gTafie3,iio was worse; hut return to a careful diet accompanied with exer cise at oncic restored him. During- a hue visit to Bostou> a cutting uorth-casjj wind brought baek'bleeding at tho filings and others of his old. symptoms. Sinco bin return to his cottage, and his resumption of his out-of-door life in the country, ho has entirely recovered, and considers himself in better health than ho lias enjoyed for years. . ' . i~ Mr. Willis lays peculiar stress on horseback- exercise. We have ourselves - Enovyn physicians adviso it in what nro apparently tho last stages of consumption.- Under our own .personal observation also^.wo have.found it exceedingly beneliciiil to many jxiroons, especially to thoso of a nervous organization, or others to Whom the exerciso of walking was often injurious. Mr, Willis notices tho-fact also, that the best English Physicians recommended it as moro conducive to health. thnn„nny other modo of oxercise.\\ 1 In truth, riding ou horseback calls into pfay nearly all the muscles of- tho body, besides stimulating a torpid liver, and relieving tho strain ou the spinoconsequejit\ tcr wal k i ngr ^1 nmi tes, inurcr-\ |-ovicr, recreation with exerciso, a necessary mix ture if tho exerciso is td bo'niado pleasing ; and exerciso which is not pleasing, runs a great risk l^-not-bwng^wrwst-jdjnraiid-iiotaluiug as much, good as it should. But if possible,\ tho rido should bo in tho open air. Mr. Willis rides dai- lv, from eight to tcu miles, whether it is clear or r'ainrf. All persons cannot bring themselves to do this. - Many invaljds ,-c *spccially ladies, conse quently ride iiudcF'covor, at ruling schools^ or in rings kept up by subscription. But though ex erciso is thus secured, tho fresh air is lost in a great -iiict«ure-^-nnd—the-fresh-air-is half tho. battle. ' ' _ - _ _. v ' ' Indeed, not a littlo of tho prevailing.ill-health especially in the great cities and among persons bf sedentary employments, should bo attributed to a neglect of fresh nir. People who are shut up during tho summer mouths in closo and illy- yeiUillatcd rooms, or confined during winter; to apartments whero tbo thermoini'ter'rkes from seventy to eighty, and' Where Bvcr^rommriT carefully closed against-the Xccess ofVresh nir, cannot but expect if they X AVE coramen sense, to weakcu their systoms, if uot to sbriiusfy im pair their health.

From her very in fancy she is guarded/as if the-least breath of air would-injuro ber, no'ver-goingf-enVwithout being parti wrapped up tcrthe chin, and'ofteh being sent to-j school even in\a carriage. Her natural instinct to exercise is restrained as a vulgarity^ she is called a-tom-bo-y, a romp, and a dqzen-of other, contemptuous ijamesj: an'd thus, at last, sho is drilled into a mere socisWmachiDeiTinally losing. Yvfn'ithe spirits to-wish'lo tiiko activo exercise due time a notice was sent to the Clerk a note signed by him, will be due on JT ttlar\ duyV whielfc-ho was rejgffitedH A.t first John .could hot conceive the source Icfrom whence the.dcmand coiild'come, and sup* posiiig that it had oiil^f been left for collection, was half resolved tMake n» nptice of ir .iJ 'Biil^- as he passed down tho. avenue, the unpajd board ' bill suddenly entered hisv head. = f Who has been- foofeh- -enough to'hfelp the e Her* days are^pcnUnJear-ning^normqusdcssonsrj-^ld—w<>^ 1-11-go. • and-«ee»<—I t-'s-a. hnrn,-- 1 know ; but I'd )iko to knowHf-sjre's really • fooled, any\ bijiry.'ivitli that bit o' paper ! w and entering the bank, ho asked .for the note which orHn^mcttdng-crolchet-work-orHJmbroidpr.^ varied with an occasional children's party, whero sho .is allowed whatever she ploases, ,and to daned herself into a fever. When sho. leaves school, her existence becomes even more monoto nous. Perhitps, if it is winter, and tho family Jaejis no carriage, sho 'is weeks, without Jbeing: out of tho houso ; and. in 'the liouso she does nothing bift dawdle over a novel, stitch a ibit of -fancy work,.or sit over tho register of the fur nace. If her father keeps a carriage, sho may ride out occasionally; but she is always '-furred to tho throat; and .so-things are no better. ' In a word, sho is a hot-houso plant, forced, like it, to a premature development; and liko it doomed, in consequence, to a premature and unnatural decay. ~ Surely, if tlioro is a reform in sOclaT'irferpeed- ed, in ono particular moro than another, it is -re quired in tbo education of our daughters, and in tho lifo wo allow them to lead afterwards. They aro dying, by hundreds, for want of ffesh air ; and yet wo take almost ho noto of the fact.— When the English prisouors perished, in this; Black Hole in Calcutta, from tho foul atinos- phero thoy wcro compelled to breathe, tho whole civilized world cried out/witli indignatiou at the perpetrators of tho doed; and though nearly a century-ha^'mco-elaaj'ied,-thaJtory-is-still-nover-J told without exciting horjor. But permit our daughters', and to a cMPfe extc?ff»JPwives -Had-4hfr-laUer-becnr^lTOC^4also7-to--dicrby alow-degrees, equally for want of puro air. In fact where the Black Hole of Cal cutta stilled its hundredsj'tlio closo rooms inbab- 1 ited by American females slay their thousands. w.prviiwn wiiln-spraad evil., th.m.tlia general neglect of fresh air and exercise, espe cially among women iu the richer classes.
