"Ilcighho! " sighed Minnie Arlin, "whatft plaguo those lovers are ! particularly if one is not quito certain, whether they aro enamored with one's self or one's fortune. ' I wish I knew." And as she said this she glanced thoughtfully after the retreating form of a tall, gentlemanly looking man at that moment passing out of the gate in front cf her father's mansion. - Minnie was not a beauty, as heroinos usually aro, but possessed a sunny, gleeful temper, a warm heart and cultivated mind, which amply compensated for all deficiencies of form and face ; so that among the truly discerning she found many warm friends. , . As her father was very wealthy, many suitors knelt at the feot of Minnie, who othorwiso would havo sought a handsomer bride. But to aU she had giron a kind but a decided negative, until she met Walter Roby, the visitor who had bid her adiou. Ho was a young lawyer who had recently come into the village of Belmont, and who, possessing a handsome parson, fascinating conversational powers, and bland and agreeable manners, very soon won the confidence and good will of the people, and particularly of the ladic3. He did not at first, however, notice Minnio with much attention ; but in tho course of a few weeks he seemed suddenly enamored, and soon became very attontiro. Though Minnie was much flattered by tho apparent devotion of tho handsome lawyer, yet she bad a largo share of that rare but important article common senso ', and as she suspected that this assiduity did not arise wholly from a love of her own rather plain solf, she determined to provo her lover. Ho had this Tory day made her the offer of his heart and bond, and. bogged hers in return ; but Minnio had givon him this reply : "Mr. Roby, I am not prepared to answer you immediately. I shall require at least two weeks to reflect upon iU" .-' t Ho was somswhat daunted at this cool answer to his rather eloquent and ardent proposal for her, as ho deemed his handsomo person irresistible. - He urged for a shorter probation, but she would not relent, only telling him that if she decided before the time had ospired she would inform him. , . Minnio sat long in her room that night devising some means to ascertain his real sentiments. . She thought if she were only hand-Fame she might rest assured that he loved her and then sbo could return that love. Sho resolved many schemos, but none seemed plans-ible and. finally, when tho bell chimed twelve idle retired, resolved, in tho morning to impart her trouble to her lather and implore his " ld, for she was mothorlcss. , . ' , . Morning dawned sod Minnia aroso unro-freshed and pale. As the breakfast bc)J rung, she greeted her father at the. staiMase. ' "Whataili'm.'birdie this morning ?" he said, as be gave Iter bis tjecqstomed kiss. I'll toll you after breakfast, papa," replied Minnie. . - , . Accordingly when the meal was finished, she twined hep ana within his and accompanied biro to the parlor; where she unfolded Ho him her suspicions, plans and hppes. Min nio'l father was not surprised. Mr. Roby had appcalodtohim to sanction his contemplated proposal to Minnie, and as Mr.. Arlin thought bira a wortby'yoong man, ho told him that "If Minnie consented he would." ' . ' ' '" Don't be troubled, my daughter,", said Mr. Ariin wbeiv she had concluded. "It would U slrahge if we could hot devise some means by which to ascertain what this young lawyer H In lore irith yof for, , He then unfolded his pUn, and when they parUd, Minnie4 bee had rcsn'rw fonifcthjjjj.oHj cM took jf .rrldj i Tho first week of Waltor Ruby's banishment, as he told her ho should call it, had not passed, when it was rumored that Minnie Arlin had entered the shop of Mrs. Rand, the millinor, as an apprentice, and when questioned sho replied, she "did not wish to bo a burden upon her futhor in his present circumstances." There catno also flying reports ol loss of proporty, which was in accordance with Minnie's conduct ; many began to beliovo that Mr. Arlin would bo obliged to disposo of tho handsomo mansion and fine farm. Minnie continued her daily task at -the milliner's shop until the two weeks had nearly expired. Two days boforo the time expired sho dispatched to her lover tho following note 1 "Mr. Root: If you still entertain tho samo sentiments you professud at our lust interview I will give you my reply this evening. Mixniis Anus." Walter had heard tho rumors, and had endeavored to ascertain the truth. Ho trembled lest they wore true, for ho could not make Minnie Arlin, if poor, his bride. He was quite undecided what to do when ho received Minnie's note; but bo immediately sallied forth, determined, if possible, to satisfy himself ns to the truth of tho rumor. Stepping into the house of n physician, with whom he was upon terms of intimacy, he said, after a few moments conversation, " what is it, doctor, about this affair of Mr. Arlin ? Is ho really so reduced that Minnio is obliged to become a shop girl?" " Well," rcpliod his friend, " I thought there must be some mistake, but I heard tho old gentleman say this morning, when some one spoke of Minnie being so industrious, that Minnio Arlin would not see her father reduced to poverty, and not make some effort to assist him. So I presume there is some foundation for the report. But, my dear fellow, Minnio is a noble girl without her property although sho has not so pretty it foco as some young women." ",Oh," replied Roby, carelessly, "I hope you don't think I'm committed there. I havo been somewhat friendly with Minnie, it is true, but nothing serious, I assure you. No trouble about tho heart," and ho laughed ; " though," he added, " I should regret exceedingly to have them meet with reverses. Ho soon after took his leave, and returning to his office, seated himself at his writing desk and wrote, scaled and dispatched tho following note : " My Dear Miss Arms : During tho time that has elapsed since I saw you, my feelings have somowhat changed, or rather I have analyzed them more closely and I fear we can nover be happy togcthor. I sco now that I was rather promntiiroin my proposals though I still entertain the warmest feelings of regard and friendship for you. Your cool reply to my proposals led mo to suppose that your feelings wore not very much interested in myself and porhnps it wore best for both that tho affair should terminate here. I remain most respectfully, your obedient servant. Walter Robt." Minnie shtd some toars when sho received Aite cold epistle ; for sho had hoped as maidens somotimcs do that her lover might "bo tried in the balance and not found wanting." But, brushing away her tears, she went to hor father, and handed tho noto to him, saying : " Ah, father, you have lost tho handsomo and accomplished young lawyer for a son-in-law. Ho doesn't think your homely, poor Minnie can make him happy." Loaving tho room, sho caught up hor straw hat, and wont out to ramble in tho woods to her favorite haunt, hoping tho sweet influences of nature might sootho and calm her troubled spirits. Tho sceno was lovely, for it was the sunset hour, and tho gleamy golden light glanced down botwocn tho intorlacing boughs upon tho soft greon moss, making dancing lights and shadows in every greenwood pathway. Tho air was soft and balmy. No sound broko tho stillness of tho forest shade, save tho sigh- ins, plaintive harps, or tho occasional carol of a bird. Yielding to tho lulling inlluonce of tbo scone, Minnio seated herself upon a fallen tree, and was soon lost in a reverie. In hor musings she thought how pleasant it would be to bo loved for one's solf alone ; and a voice seemed whisporing in her car, with soft, thrilling tone, love's own codonce, and dark eyes looked into her own, with a tender, loving look. She had wandered thus for into love's fuiry dreamland, entirely unconscious of all around, when the crackling ol a twig startled her, and sho sprang up in alarm ; but a pair of dark eyes looked into hor own, And familiar voice re assured hor. Sho laughingly grootcd her intrudor, saying "Why, Herbert, how you startled mo ! " Ho smiled, and advancing to mcot hor, replied : 1 " I'm sorry 1 frightened you. I did not think to find you here J but you are looking pale are you faint ? "and ho gazed at her with so much anxious solicitude, that poor Minnie's equanimity was entirely overthrown and sinking again upon her scat, she covorod ber faco with htr bands and burst into tears. The feelings so long pent up, and the tears which had been gathered forsovcral days, had at last found veut, . . Herbert Clayton bad grown vp with Minnie from childhood. ,1 He hod always loved hor, but bad felt that a deep gulf sepcrated him,' poor widow's son, from the only child of the wealthy Mr. Arlin, and therefore he fult compelled to worship front abr." He too, had hoard the rumors of Mr. Arlin's loss es, and ho supposed this was the cause of Minnie's agitation. . "He eould scarcely repress the hope, sweet though faint it was, that Minsk sjilght now be bis I but checking this feeling ht HHUi liuftsvlf by her side, to comfort and oheer her if oeible. Gradually she be- eameicaimi .anqjtnea sne impaiiea yq nira-xne j tvr of Jieby Ut was indignant at such. baseness, and led on by his feelings, told Minnie of his lovo nnd hopes. His unselfish affection touched her heart. Here was one who lovod her for herself, and was willing to tuko her, even if poor. . But tho wound she had received was too fresh to allow her to do aught but to riso embarrassed, and, though thanking Herbert with her eyes, to shako her head sadly. i .. . But that chance interview deoidod tho fato of both. The more sho thought of Ilorbort's disintoioitqd offer, tho more his character rose in her estimation. Moantime, she had con sented to receive him as a friend, ho often visited her, and gradually cstocm for him ripened into love. , One soft, summer ovening, Horbort ventur ed to urge his suit again, and this timo Min nio, though a ombarrassed as before, did not say nay, but returned a blushing answer that filled his hoart with joy. Thoy lingorcd long amid tho forest shades, and when they returned, Herbert sought Mr. Arlin, whilo Minnio ran up to her room Iiko a frightened deer. When Horbort had confessed his suit, Mr. Arlin looking archly in his face, replied i "Do you wish to make poor Minnio Arlin your bride ? Can you think of taking a dow-crlcss wife ?" , " Oh, yes," earnestly replied Herbert, " I should never havo told my lovo had sho still been as in other days." Tho old gentleman smiled a peculiar smile and said " Yes, Herbert, she is yours you aro worthy of her ! but I am glad for your sake and hers, that I am not so poor that sho will be a portionless bride. But you must let Minnio tell you the story." Minnie did tell him tho story, and Herbert was unspeakably dolighted nt tho idea that he had won tho hand of the heiress of Mr. Arlin's wealth, but Minnio laughingly told him that her poverty had lost one lovor, and won her another. Ilorbert was also a lawyor, but boing poor and without influential friends, ho had many times been nearly discouraged ; but he fult his heart become strong within him, more because ho had won the hand and heart ho had so long desired, than at tho prospect of a portion of her father's wealth. They wore soon after marriod, and Mr. Ar lin's handsome mansion was thrown open to tho crowd of friends who gathered to witness Minnie's wedding. Before tho day arrived, however, the, story of Minnie's ruse had become rumored forth in tho village; nnd Roby, finding himself and his selfish principles too much tho topic of conver sation, found it convenient to lcavo Belmont for another field of labor. sum slick on Kli'igli-Uisle Court- "iff Sam Slick, speaking of the "mannors and customs" of that portion of United Statoscrs who havo opportunities for " sleighing," coos on to describe the "courting scenes" attending this kind of recreation, as follows : Jn the wintor, when the ground is covored with snow, what grand times thev havo a slayin' over these hero marshes with tho gals, goin' to quiltin' frolics, of nice long winter evenings, and then driven homo liko mad by ... -l: -L.

The undeground railroad occasionally orings out some rich things. Yesterday a beautiful mulatto woman from the Maryland shore, near Uakiinuro. called upon Mr. Iizuon. Sho was a fugitivo from high life in slavedom. Her dress, address and conversation, showed sho had been valued and cared for. She naturally inquired into tho quality and amount of business at the Syracuse depot. Mrs. Logucn took tho record of tho names of the fugitives that had called at her house and coramoncod reading them. "that is the name of my husband." sho exclaimed with cnthusiusm, when a certain one was read. Mrs. and Mr. Loguen instantly called to mind an accomplished semi-colored man they had sent on to Rev. Mr. Mansfield & Co., ut Auburn, three weeks ago. She told her story as follows: She had been married about six woeks. Her husband and herself wore house slaves of two notable and wealthy fumilies in Maryland, and were greatly attached. About threo weeks since hor master suspected that she intondod to escape with hor husband, and arrested hor and put her in jail. She managed to notify her husband of her case, and he instantly fled to avoid a similar fato and probable sale to tho fur South. Uor mistress and daughter were greatly attached to hor, and procured her release, and in three days thereafter, sho fled on toot to riuladclphia, with tho aid ot the man who helped her husband otf. Anti-slavery men put her on tho road, and now for tho soc-ond timo sho has got on tho track of her hus band. Mr. Logucn at once thought it his duty to go to Auburn with her and help find her hus band. Un her arrival at Auburn, lie placed her in the parlor of one of the best hotels, and called on Mr, Mansfield who went with him to another clergyman to whom he was directed. Ho was at a meeting, and Mr. Logucn saw a colored man in a distant part of the meeting who resembled the fugitive, and sent a person to bring him to the lobby to see Mr. loguen. i no poor man was seized with a tremor. The fact was, ho was an excellent machinist, aud instead of going to Canada, bad hired out at Auburn, rather instructed to do so by Mr. Loguen, if ho found n chance. "Ihoy are after you, Fred," said Mr. Lo guen, " but hold up your head I'll take you wnero you won't DO hurt." " Who is after mo ? " " Who but your master could bo after you ? But don't bo scared follow me and you will be safi.$)i0! " uan you tight ! " " It depends on who lam to fight ! " "Will you fight slaveholders if thev hare come to take you ? " " les 1 would fight a regiment of them." By this timo thoy arrived at tho hotel, and Mr. Logucn proceeded directly to tho parlor, which was richly furnished and gas lighted. ino lollow's leeungwas worked up to the highest point by being led to such a place, where ho could expect to sco no ono but a slaveholder. On cntoring tho room ho paw his beautiful wife alone. Ho was so overcome that he almost fell to the floor, exclaiming at the sumo time, "it's my wife ! " They rushed together and a hornier bride and bridegroom could not be found in tbe world wo'H venture to say. GOV. CHASE IN THE SOUTH A correspondent of the Ohio State Journal, writing from New Orleans, holds tbe following in relation to Gov. Chase's standing in the extreme South, and the light in which his message is regarded : Tho position of Ohio, as a leadine Republi can State, and particularly Gov. Chaso, who has long been known as one o tho ablest anti- slavery men of tho country, very naturally attracts' the attention of southern politicians and readers. Few men have been more bit- torally assailed than Mr. Chase, in conse quence of his manly opposition to slavery And yet ho is not without his admirers here. as fwquent littlo discussions show. And the present was not without its testimony to tho same effect. A grave old man, after wading through column after column, vory laboriosly of the Governor's statement of tho financial affairs of tho State, in search of ' frevMon," vory sagoly rem irked, as he pushed aside tho paper, " I sco nothing terrible in that message." Iloro an excitable little man started up, alarmed at tho cool remark of his friend. He thought ho could "sco abolition in every lino ! " After searching somo little timo, without making tho important discovery, " Woll, it is thorc," said he, " for I read it in an Ohio paor, tho Cincinnati Eiiguirer." At longth however, thoobjcctional part was found, in the Governor's allusion to Kansas afTairs. " Poh 1 " said the first speakor, " that is nothing more than any candid man would say, who was conscientiously opposed to tho institution of slavery." A sharp-nosed politician expressed his suprise that tho Governor sho'd have so much to say about railroads and canals, and such things, and so little about politics. A shrewd business man who was present, remarked, if Southern Governors would pattern after Gov. Chase in some of these particulars, it would bo more creditable to themselves, as woll as add vastly to tho interests of the southorn people. Ho thought that tho people of Ohio had showed their good senso in electing a man competent to look after the interests of tho State. On the whole it was agreed, that whatcvor might be said of tho Governor's politics, Ohio has tho ablest Chief Magistrate of any State in the Union. And this reminds mo of a remark made to me somo timo since, by Judgo W. of ono of the Western parishes of this Stale. Said ho, " I havo watched tho courso of Mr. Chaso very carefully since bo first took his seat in the United Statss Senate : and, although I hare no sympathy with bis anti-slavery sen liment, yet l rogam mm as conu to no man in the nation, for ability and stern integrity. He is a man of great independence of mind, nnd has the moral courngo to do what be believes to bo rieht, resardless of popular favor." "And, this," sa'd hc " ' wltat cannot bt taii of too many of your nortlitrn public men."

Captain John Smith gives tho following interesting sketch of tho earliest state of tho infant Church in the original scttfemcnt of Virginia : " When I first went to Virginia, I well remember wee did hang an awning (which as an old sail) to threo or four trees to shadow us from the sunnc : our walls were rales of wood. our seatcs unhewed trees, till we cut planks ; our Pulpit a bar of woedo nailed to two neigh boring trees ; in loulo weather wo slutted into an old rotten tent, for wo hade few bettor, and this came by way ot adventure tor new.

Crows look with secret satisfaction upon its horses. The coaches are poor ; tho drivers swear l,ke the Devil J while the sleeping and eating along the route is neither 5?0ro Dor less than nasty. Tho stneo faro across Iowa Is S20, Prt from moals and lodgings, which will cost the ' traveler not less than $2 per day. That those representations are true, I refer to tho testimony of many thousands who have been hauled, mauled, squeezed, starved and humbugged (and wc might add bedbug-gcd) along this route. two of tho most agreeable and at tho same timo least expensivo methods of crossing Iowa is by n private conveyance. The team-hors.'s, wagon and tixmgs could be procured at Iowa City or still further cast, and then tho travel er can jog on at his leisure, 'pursuing a direct course or deviating or halting at his own good will and pleasure. I ho horses nnd carriage if not needed here could be disposed of for their full value. Tho other route is by St. Louis and the Missouri river. I am inclined to think that this is by far the most comfortable way for the traveler to reach Nebraska. Tho boats are well furnished and will compare favorably with those upon our . Eastern waters. Families coming by river can ulso we that their tnrmture is taken along and properly handled. Tho steamboat from St. Louis to Omaha is from $20 to$25, including boardand lodgings, and instead of leaving the traveler weary and almost dead, so that lie is obliged to lio still a week or so in order to recruit, it leaves him as well rested and as ready to commence business as if he had tho whilo boon passing his timo at his own homo. Many ask what shall we bring with us to tho West. Well, brins a clear conscience if you can, bring energy, bring honesty and all its kindred virtues. In the next place the carpenter, tho blacksmith, cabinet-maker, the mason, and in short every mechanic had bettor bring all tho toots of his trade along with him. He will find them expensive here j in many cases difficult to bo obtained, and not apt to bo as good as those which ho will bring from tho East. The cost of transportation will bo but small, while such second-hand articles sold at the cast do not bring half their real value. Families also should by all meant bring along all their furniture except tho very largest and heaviest artiolcs, such as stoves and bureaus. But all articles of wearing apparel, carpets, bedding of every sort and kind, crock ery and household utensils generally had bettor be brought by all means. This is tho universal testimony of those here who havo mov-od from tho east. Barrels ore excellent things to pack articles in, as they are apt to be rolled and not flung as boxes are. Crockery packod in straw, with a reasonable dejreo of care, comes in safety. A covenicht way ?f hnsr. ing money is in the form of drafts upon an eastern bank. Exchanges upon the New York banks always bring thoir face, and often a premium of J or 1 per cent. i ho great want or this section is laborers. Artizans of every kind, especially carpenter, masons, bricklayers, painters, wagon makers and blacksmiths, havo during tho past season earned from $3,50 to $0 per day, and the demand for their services will bo vastly greater tho coming spring than evor boforo. To all such wo say, come, for you cannot fail, with industry , to reap a coldcn harvost. Farming, and especially gardening, is one of the most prolltsble employments which one ean engage in hero. With corn at $1.26. po tatoes at from S2 to $3, beans and onions at rrom b to 8 per bushel, and ovory kind of mantoinbie produco tmdmg a ready sale nt theso enormous Jigurcs, no larmer on this rer-tiio soil need fear but that ho will reap an abundant reward for his toil. Rut the medicinj chest can be lcll behind. I repeat what I havo remarked in a former letter ; there is no hcalthior spot on tho globe than Nebraska. The air is perfectly pure and dry, so that throat and lung diseases are al most unknown. Persons aOlictcd with bron chial difficulties on coming hero nro relieved at once, whilo tho hacking coughs and colds so easily taken in a damp atmosphere are very rarely experienced nore.

KMANCir.iTION'l.N MlSSUUjti. .-,Tlic advocates of Iho cmnnclpniion of Slaves in Missouri, are taking high uiitl bold grounds declaring their convictions whh a manliness and fearlessness which It is' to be hoped iudi-cato tho approach of a bright era to that State, The cnliru' doligntiohi from St. Louis to lu State legislature bus boldly stood up for tho doctrine In pnnd'.'ring to tho prejudices of tho peoplo in various tarts of the Stalo, who havo boen cnl'stfd under tho Democratic banner and bound, togothor by t4 e- Slavery question, the Democratic members introduced rcsc lutions into tho Legislature, declaring that if. was improper and impolitic: to advocate emancipation in that State,' The slaveholders forced their adoption only over a vigorous oppotrf. tion. Tho fuHuwing. otruc from a speech, on them, mode by I. Guatz Buow.n, editor of the St. Louis Democrat, is on index to a public sentiment that, wu think, will become suf llcientlv potent, in time, to wUld-lho doctrine of tho Stato : ' "I am a Frce-Soiler, and don't deny it. JTo word or voto of mine shall" ever inure to the benefit of such a monstrous and abhorrent dor triuo as tho extension of Slavery over tho patrimony of the free white laborers of the coun try. I am, sir, for the greatest number,. an4 against tho system which monopolizes the fre and fertile territory of our country for a few slaveholders, to the exclusion of thousands up on thousands of the sinowy sons of toil, who, in pcaco and war aro tho foundation and ramparts of tho sooisl editico. . Tho timo will come, Sir, and perhaps very soon, when tho people will rule for their own. benefit, and not for that of a class which nicrically speaking, is insignificant. In that near day, Democracy will not only moan tho rule of that sovereign people but tho rule of the sovereign people for themselves, and tU dignity as well as tho rights of free labor will be, recognized. Therefore it is, standing hero in the midst of the assembled Legislature of Missouri, I am proud to avow myself a free, soiler. Let those who are scared at names shrink from the position, if they will. Ishould never feel alarmed at meeting the issue under whatever name, or stylo, or title, or shape, or form it may come. An 1 furthermore I would add, Sir, that whenover the contest conies be- twoon the labor of the white man and tbe tibor of tho alavo, I shall take my stand in favor uf tho white man. lero in Missouri, I shall surv port the rights, tho dignity and welfare of tho 800,000 non slaveholders, in prelercnco to upholding nnd perpetuating tho dominancy of 30,000 slaveholders who inhabit our Statc.-c My sympathies arc with thetoilinir masses and not with the privileged few : and whilo I shall bo far from designing any violation of the rights of property of any class, yet J conceive his labor to be as much the property of the white laboring man, as the slave is the prop6rty of tho slaveholder,' and as much entitled to tho fostering care and protection of Government as any vested right in the commonwealth, Mnki-iff Kistsr.u :i Slave Stiitrv r The Cincinnati CcmwiMvCal eayn t TlmtrnrV being done by the Pro-Slavery meri to carry their favorite and peculiar institution into' Kansas, is silontly progressing, but is vigor-? ous and adroit.

Tho measure taken by tho Ruffians are almost certain to bring Kansas before the next Congress for admission as a State, with a Slave Constitut ion. Tho follow ing from the Lecompton correspondence of thi Missouri Democrat, will show the drift of tho pro-slavery policy : "The bill for the census and providins for the election of delegates for Constitutional Convention, has passed both llousos without amendment, just ns it came from the joipf committee. It has been sept to tho Governor for his signature, so that it can bo passed oyer his veto, in case he should veto it. The particulars of this bill I gave .you Wore. It leaves ttio entire management of the census, taking and tho election in the bands of tho county officers appointed by thw body. It al so provides mat tne census suall bo taken bay fore tho first of April ; none arriving after that time can bo listed as voters. Those listed are merely required to lie ' inhabitants ' up to or on tho first of April. All cases of election, frauds are to be determined by tho Conven-tion itself, when it assembles, nnd not by the Governor, who has no power in tho matter, by this bill. Tbo whole thing is regarded a part of a plan contemplating fraud, and giving no chance for justice.
