To aU who are In waut of BOOTS AND SHOES ! nnn>UKe ttefenity, were concealed an impassion' cd nature, and a beart of Ihe deepest capacity for lovinjr. She was remarkable from her cariitst chlklliood for a voice of thrilling and kaunling sweetness. Ellen Dultou was the brilliant autipodea of her sister: a \born beauty,\ whoso prerogative of prcttiocss was to have her irresponsible own way, in all things, und at all times. An indul- gent father, a weak mother, aud an idolizing sister, had all unconsciously contributed to tho ruin of a nature not at tho ilrst remarkable for strength or generosity. Where, in all God's creatures, in hcartless- iicss so seemingly Unnatural, is selflshess so detestable, as in a beautiful woman I Lucy possessed a fine intellect, and, as her mrents were well-reared New Englaudcrs, Bhc md her sister were fur better educated than jthcr girls of her station, in that then half-settled portion of th© country. In those days, many engaged in school-teaching, from the honor and pleasure which it Afforded, rather than from necessity. Thus, a few months previous to tho commencement of our sketch, Lucy Dutton left for the first time her flre-side circle, to take charge of a school some twenty miles from her native town. For some while her letters home were ex- pressive only of the happy contentment which sprang from tho consciousness of active useful- ness, of receiving, while imparting good. But anon, there came A change; then were those records for home characterized by fitful gaiety, or dreary sadness; indefinable hopes and fears seemed striving for supremacy in the writer's troubled little heart. Lucy loved, but scarcely acknowledged it to herself,, while she knew aot that she was loved; BO for a time, that beautiful flecond-birth of woman's nature was like a warm sunrise struggling with the mist: of morulug. Hut one day brought a letter which could not soon be forgotten in the home of the absent one—a letter traced by a hand that trembled in sympathy with a heart tumultuous with happi- ness. Lucy had been wooed and won, and she but waited her parent^ approval of her choice, to become the betrothed of young Edwin •\y , a man of excellent family und stand- ing in tho town where she had been teaching. The father and mother accorded their sacotion with many blessings, and Lucy's next letter promised a speedy visit from the lovers. To such natures as Lucy's what an absorbing, and yet what a revealing of self is a first pas- Evening came, the guests were all assembled, and yet the \bridegroom tarried.\ There were whisperings, surmises, and wouderings, and a shadow of anxiety occasionally passed over the fair face of the bride elect. At last, a carriage drove rather slowly to the door.— \They arc cornel 1 ' cried many voices, and the next moment the belated bridegroom and Ellen entered. In reply to the hurried and confused iquiries of all around him, Mr. W mut- tered something about \unavoidable delay,\ and, stepping to the sideboard, tossed off a glass of wine, another, and another. - The company stood silent with amazement. Finally, a rough old farmer exclaimed, \Better late than never,, young man; so lead out the bride.\ W strode hastily across the room, placed himself by Ellm, and took her hand in his 1 Then, without daring to meet tho eye of any about him, he said: \I wish to make an explanation—I am under the painful necessity—that is, I have the plea- sure to announce that / am already married. — The lady I hold by the hand is my wife!\ Then, turning in an apologetic manner to Mr. and Mrs. Dutton, he added, \I found that I had never loved tmlil I knew your second daughter 1\ And Lucy 1 -She heard all with strange calm- ness, theu walked steadily forward and con- fronted her betrayers! Terrible as pale Nemesis herself, she stood before them, and her look pierced like a keen, cold blade iuto their false hearts. As though to assure herself to the dread reality of the vision, she laid her hand on Ellen's shoulder, and let it glide down hei arm—but she touched not Edwin. As those cold fingers met hera, the unhappy wife first gazed full into her sister's face; and, as she marked the ghastly pallor of her cheek, the di- ted nostril, the quivering lip, and the intense- ' mournful eyes, she covered her ©wn face ith her bands, and burst into tears, while the young husband, awed by the terrible silence of bfr he had wronged, gasped for breath, and staggered back against the wall. Then Lucy, clasping her hands on her forehead, first gave her anguish and despair, in one fearful cry, which could but ring forever through the joule of that guilty pair, and fell in a, deathlike iwoon at their feet. After the insensible girl had been removed to her chamber, a stormy scene ensued in the room beneath. The parents and guests, were alike enraged against W. ; but the tears and prayers of his young wife, the petted beauty and spoiled child, at last softened somewhat the an- ger of the parents, and an opportunity for an xplunation was accorded to the offenders. A sony explanation it proved. The gentle- man affirmed that the first sight of Ellen's lovely face had weakened the empire of her plainer lister over his affections. Frequent interviews had completed the conquest of his loyalty; but he had been held in check by honor, and never told his love, until when, on his way to espouse nother, in an unguarded moment, he had re- vealed it, and the avowal had called forth an auBwering acknowledgement from Ellen. They had thought it best, in order ' 'to save pain to Lucy,\ and prevent opposition from her, and to secure their own happiness, to be mar- ried befbro their \ T TH K UNDERSICSNED, BE G LEAVKT O •M Inform I ho public Hint t buvo ptircliaatid the tmll Ing lately occupied by Ihe lrou Bank, which I h»To I fitted for a Boot & Shoe Establishment, And am now rendy to .uppty big and little, old a youo«, with BOOTH nod BI1OK8 mudo In the luU •tylcg, and bought for tbe cbcnpenl poHnlblc caah price.

The matron, who was by her bedside when she awoke, was startled by the clear and earnest gaze which met her own; but she smiled, and bade the Invaild \good morning!\ Lucy looked bewildered, but the voice reassured her, aud she exclaimed— 'Oh! what a long, long, night this has been?\ Then glancing around inquiringly, she added, Where am I ? Aud who are you ? I do not know you.\ A wild surmise Hashed across the mind of the matron. Th* long lost rm*on of the wd&derer had returned! But the jjood woman replied calmly and soothingly— 'Why, you are among your friends, and you will know me presently. 1; 'Then maybe you know Edwm and Ellen,\ rejoined the invalid. \Have they come?

Bhe gazed on it in blank amazement. \Something is the matter with my sight,\ she said, smiling faintly, \for my hand looks to me like an old woman's.\ \And so it is,\ said the matron, gently, \and so is mine; and yet we had fair, plump hands when we were young.

The kind matron paused frequently in the sad narrative of her poor frieud's niadrftss and wanderings, but the invalid would say, with fearful calmness, \ Go on, go on,\ though the beaded drops of agony stood thick upon her forehead. When she asked for her sister, the matron replied, \She has gone before you, and your father also.\ \And ray mother ?\ said Lucy, her face lit with a sickly ray of hope. \Your mother haa been dead for twenty years .'\ •Dead!

At last tho plighted lovers came, and welcomes and festivities awaited them. Mr. W gave entire satisfaction to father, moth- er, and even to the exacting \beauty.\ He was a handsome man, with some pretensions to fashion; but in ninnucr, and apparently in character, the opposite of his betrothed. It was decided that Lucy should not again leave honje till after her marriage, which* at tho request of her ardent lover, was to be celebrated within two months, and on the com- ing birthday of tho bride.

The bridal birthday had come. It had been ushered in by a May morning of surpassing lovt'linoHH—tho busy hours had worn away, aiul now it was nigh sunset, and nnithar the bridegroom, nor Ellen, the first brklumaid, had appeared. Yet, in her noat littlo chamber sut Lucy, nothing doubting, nothing fearing. She was already clad in a simple white muslin, and her few bridal adornments lay on the table beside her. Muria Allen, her second brkle- made, a bright-eyed, affectionate hearted girl, her chosen friend from childhood, was arrang- ing to a more graceful fall the wealth of light ringlets which swept her snowy neck. To tho ) anxious inquiries of her companion, respecting the nhfwut ones, Lucy ever stalled' quietly, and replied, \Oh! something has happened to detain thorn awhile—we heard tVoln thorn tho other day, arid all was well. They will b(j hero by- und !»Y, ucTr.fetf.\ Lucy remained insensible for some hours. When she revived, and had apparently regained her consciousness, she still maintained her strange silence. This continued for many weeks, and when it partially passed away, her friends saw with an inexpressible grief that her reason had fled— she was hopelessly insane! But her madness was of a mild and harmless-nature. She was gentle and peaceable as ever, but sigh- ed frequently, and seemed burdened with some great sorrow, which she could not herself com- prehend. She had one peculiarity, which all who knew her in after years must recollect— this was a wild fear and careful avoidance of man. She fllso seemed possessed of the spirit of unre*t. She could not, she would not, be con- fined, but was continually escaping from her friends, and going thpy knew not whither. While her parents lived, they, by their watch- ful care and unwearying efforts, in some meas- ure controlled this Bad propensity; but when they died, their stricken child became a wan- derer, homeless, friendless, and forlorn. Through laughing springe and rosy summers, and golden autumns and tempestuous winters, it was tramp, tramp—no rest for her of the crushed heart and the crazed brain. I remember her as she was in my early child- hood, toward the last of her weary pilgrimage. As my father and my elder brothers were \ quently absent, and as my mother never cl< her heart ,or her door on the unfortunate, \Cra- zy Lucy\ often apent an hour or two by our fireside. Her appearance was very singular. Her gown was always patched with many col- ors, and her shawl or mantle worn und torn until it was all open-work and fringe. Th remainder of her miserable wardrobe she car- ried in a bundle, on her urm, and sometimes she had a number of parcels of old rags, dried herbs, &c. In the season of flowers, her tattered bonnet was profusely decorated with thoso which she gathered in the wood, or by the way-side. Her love for these, aud her sweet voice were all that were left her of the bloom and musii of existence. Yet no—her meek and childlike piety still lingered. Ilcr God had not forsaken her, down into the dim chaos of her spirit, the smile of his love gleamed faintly—in the waste garden of her hnart she still heard His voice at even-tide, and she was not \\'afraid.\ Her Bi- ble wont with her everywhere—a torn and soiled volume, but as holy still, and it maybe as dear- lychenshed, rny_r_e_ad<?x t as thn enrgnw* f<*py \now lying on your table, bound iu \purple and in gold,\ and with the gilding untarnished upon its delicate leaves. I remember to have heard my mother relate a touching little incident connected with one of Lucy's brief visits to us. The poor creature once laid her hand on the curly head of one of my brothers, and asked of him his name. \William Edwin,\ he replied, with a timid upward glanco. She caught away her hand, and sighing heav- ily, said, as though thinking almid, ' 'I knew an Edwin once and he made me bro- ken hearted.\ ThU was the only instance in which she was was over known to revert to the sad event which had desolated her life. • • • • * * • Thirty years from the time of the commence- ment of this mournful history, on a bleak au- tumnal evening, a rough country wagon drove into the village of C . It stopped at the alms-house, an attenuated form was lifted out, and the wagon rnrablod away. Thut was Lucy Dutton brought to her nativ.r town to die. She had been in a decline for several months; and the miraculous strength which had so long sustained her in her weary wanderings at last forsook her utterly. Her sister had died some- time before, and the widowed husband Uad soon after removed with Uis family to the far West. So Lucy had no friends, no home, but the alms-house. But they were very kind to her there. Tho matron, a true woman, whose heart even the hourly contemplation of human misery could not harden, gave herself With' unwearying do votion to tho care of the quiet sufferer. With the oye of Christian faith, she watched tho shattered bark of that life, ns borne adown the t'ulo of thne, it nenred the great deep'of eternity,- witlt an interest aS intense til though it were a royal galley. t)nc day, about a week from tho time of ftMr arrival, Lucy appeared to Suffor greatly, and those Bb<jtn lirr looked for bcr release \almost Sg my ct wept aloud. Her friend, bending over her, and mingling tears with hers, said, affectionately— 'But you know who drank that cup before you.\ Lucy looked up with a bewildered expression, and the matron added— \The Lord Jesus, you remember him?' A look like sunlight breaking tb rough a cloud, a look which only saints may wear, irradiated the tearful face of the dying woman, as Bhe re- plied— \O yes; I knew him and loved Mm be/ore I fell a»le*p. n The mau of God was called. A few who had known Lucy In her early days came also. Thero was much reverential wondering, and some woe ping around her death-bed. Then rose the voice of prayer. At first her lips moved, as her weak spirit joined in that fervent appeal, then they grew still, and poor Lucy was dead—dead in her gray-haired youth. But those who gazed upon that placid face, and remembered her harmless life, and patient suffering, doubted not that the morn of an eternal day had broken on her NIOUT or YEAKS.

He told him to take the usual mediclues, and called next day, when be was informed our cobbler was cured; indeed, so well was he, he had gone to work. \Indeed ho replied, \that is well; you see my prescription has answered admirably.\ \Not so,\ they answered, \he would not take the medicine.\ \Indeed! What then did he do I\ \Impatient and hungry, he called for his sup- per—a salad of beans and potatoes, along with a red herring.\ • \Dear dear 1\ exclaimed our doctor, and be- HeviMg he had discovered a secret which Nature by chance had revealed, lie drew out his pocket- book and ifHtte' the following as a cure for cholera:— \CnoutRA—PBIWOKIPTION—Beans cold po- tatoes, and red herring; to be taken plentifully and immediately.\ But a few days elapsed, and our goofl doctdr was called to attend a mason, qlso seized with cholera, TO whom he at once gave the famous prescription. Alas! on the morrow, on calling, he learut, to his astonishment, that a\ quarter of an hour after having eaten the salad, the poor man died. \Dear dear!\ murmured tho doctor; again pulljng out his pocket-book, he \ the following momorarndum, adding it to .the proscription:— \Jf.
