During the greater portion of thin time be oer- formed the duties of the Collector oI the Proprietary's revenue* in the port. By the percussion of Cecilias Calvert he bad become a settler in the New World, wfore bo bed re- oelved from bis patron the grant of a large tract of land, which, In pro- greae of time, under a careful oourse of husbandry, rendered btm a man tract iav adjacent tol h j!l stretched along Ibe creek of St. Inigo**, constituting an excellent farm of several hundred acres. Upon this land tba Collector bad dwelt from an early period of bis settlement. A certain sturdiness of character that matched the perils of that ad- venturous colonial life, and • vigor- ous intellect, gave Mr. Warden greet authority over the inhabitants of the province, which was increased by the predominant honesty of purpose and plain, unpretending directness of hie nature. A bountiful purse and joeudn tamper enabled and prompted btm to indulge, almost without stint, Ibet hospitality which furnishes the most natural and ap- propriate enjoyment of those who dwell remote from the busy marie of the world. Hie com pen tunable habile bad left their tokens upon bis exterior. Hie frame was corpulent, bia features strongly d6tied, bla ays dark blue, with a mastiff kindness in lu glance. The flush of generous living had slightly overmastered the wind and-weather hue of hie complexion, and given it the tintaof a ripe pear. Seventy years had beaten upon hla poll without other badge of oonqueel than that of a change of hla brown locks to white; —their volume was scarcely dimin- ished, and they still fell in curie upon hie shoulders. Two marriage* bad brought him a large family of children, of whom the eldest (the only offspring of hie first nuptials) was Alice Warden, a maiden lady who now, well advanc- ed in life, occupied the highest post of authority in the household, which bad, for several years past, been transferred to her by the demise of the second wife. His sons had all abandoned Ibe paternal roof in Ibe various pursuits of fortune, leaving behind them, beside Mistress Alice, a sister, the youngest of the flock, who, at the epoch at which I am about to present her. was just verg- ing towards womanhood. The dwelling of the Collector stood upon the high bank formed by the union of St, Inigo's creek and St. Mary’s river. It was, accord- ing to the moat approved fashion of that day, built of Imported brick, with a double roof penetrated by ' narrow and trlangular-oaped win- dows. The rooms were large and embellished with carved wainscots and a profusion of chiseled wood- work, giving them an elaborate and expensive aspect. This main build- ing overlooked, with a magisterial and protecting Mr, a group of sin- gle-storied offices and out houses which were clustered around, one •' ¦ '.LC: }¦.. : y —-rn -M* jm v/ d U ¦' ' of which was appropriated by the Collector as his place of business. This spacious domlolt. with its broad porch. oottage-Hke appen- dages and latticed sheds, was em- bosomed in the shade of elms and mulberries, whoso foliage, fanned by the autumnal breeze, murmured in unison with the plashing tide that beaLwgainst the pebbles imme- diately below. A garden Ih the , rear, with treliised and vine clad gateways, and walks lined with box, ; furnished good store of culinary dainties; whilst a lawn, in front, oc- cupying some two or three acres, and bounded by theoiiff which form- ©d the headland on the river, lay open to the sun, and gave from the water an unobstructed view of the mansion. The taste displayed In these embellishments, the neatness of the grounds, the low, flowor- •pang.ed hedge of thorn that guard- ed the cliff, the clumps of rose trees and other ornamental shrubs, dis- posed to gratify the eye in tbs shift log seasons of tbsir bloom, the vari- ous accessories of rustic seats, bow- era and parterre.—ail united to pre sent an agreeable and Infallible in- dex of that purity of mind which brought into assemblage such sim- ple and attractive elements of beauty. ' All around the immediate domain of the dwelling-house were orchards, woodlands sod cultivated Helds, 1 with the usual barns and other ‘ structures necessary in the process of agriculture;-—ths whole region . presenting sieve! plain, some fifty or ! sixty feet above the tide, of singular * rlebnees as a landscape, and no less ' agreeable to be looked upon for its ! associations with the Idea of com fenable independence in the pro- prietor. This homestead had ob- 4 talned the local designation of the 1 Rose Croft,— s name, in some 1 degree, descriptive of the predomi- * nsnt embellishment of the spot. ( In his autre. Master Anthony ‘ Warden, the worshipful Collector 1 (to give him his usual style of sd- * dress In the province), exhibited 1 *°®* towards the ooxoom- ' that scrupulous observance of t%B ' prerogative of rank and ags which f characterised the costume of the 1 olden lime,—smacking no little of ( the flavor of the official martinet. 1 Authority, amongst our ancestors, 1 was wont to borrow consequence 1 from ebow. The broad line which ' separated gentle from simple was 1 recognized, to those days, not less ' strongly in the habiliments of the person than in bis nurture sod manners. Ths divisions bctwseo the classes of society were cot more authentically distinguished in soy outward sign, than in the embroid- ered velvet or cloth of the man of wealth, and the plain serge, worst ed. or leatherof the craftsman. The Coilaotor of Bi. Mary's, on festivs occasions, went forth arrayed much after the manner in which Leslie has represented Sir Roger de Coverly, in bis admirable painting of that knight; and although ha was 100 vain of bis natural kwka to adopt the periwig of that period, yet be bsd trained his luxuriant tresses into a studied imitation of this artificial adornment. His embroidered cost of drab velvet, with wadded skirts sod huge open cuffs, bis lace wrist- bands, his ample vest, and white lamb’s wool hose rolled above his knees, hie buckled shoe and tbree- oorcered bat-all adjusted with a particularity that would put our modern foppery to shame—gave to the worthy bargees of Bt. Mery’s s substantial ascendancy snd an un- questioned regard, that rendered him, next to the Proprietary, the most worshipful personage in the province. This pedantry of costume and the circumspect carriage which Itexact- ed, were pleasantly contrasted with the flowing vivacity of the wearer, endenderiog by their concourse an amusing compound, which I might call a fettered aod pinioned alacrity of demeanor, the rigid stateliness of exterior seeming rather ineffectual- ly to encase, as a half bursting chrysalis, tbs wings of a gay nature. Mr. Warden was reptuted to be stubborn in opinion. The good peo- ple of the town, aware of bis per- tinacity in this particular had no mind to make points with him, but, on the contrary, rather corroborated him in bis dogmatism by an amiable assentation; so that it is said, be grew i dally more peremptory. This had be- , come so much his prerogative, that the Lord Proprietary himself gave way to it with as good a grace as the rest of the inhabitants. It may be imagined that so general i a submission to this temper would have the tendency to render him HOTEL DONALD. - lete uu tweet, a. w„ (between K and L.) Washington, D. C., Wm. a.

They say it waaa rioh sight to see him in one of his Bashes, which always took the by- standers by surprise, like thunder in the midst of sunshine; but theee explosions were always short-lived, and rather left a more wholesome and genial clearness in ths atmos- phere of his affections. The household at Roee Croft, I -have hinted, was regulated by Mis- tress Alice, who had sometime before pur acquaintance with her reached that period of life at which the fe- male ambition for display is prone to subside Into a love of domestic pur- soft*. It was now her chief%ord!y care and delight to promote the com- fort of those who congregated around the family hearth. In the adminis- tration of this office, it may be told to her prelee, that that aha manifest- ed that unpretending good sense which is a much more rare and es- timable quality than many others of i better acceptation with the world. As was natural to her tranquil posi- tion and kindly temper, her feelings ( had taken a play towards devotion, which Father Pierre did not omit to ( encourage aod confirm by ail the i persuasions enjoind by the Roman i church. The gentle solicitude with t which the ministers of that ancient faith watch and assist the growing 1 zeal of its votaries; the captivation ( o' its venerable ceremonies, and the t familiar and endearing tone in which it addresses itself to the regard of t its children, sufficiently account for I Its sway over so large a portion of j mankind, and especially for its hold upon the affections of tbs female 3 breast. t Upon the thoughtful character at Alice Warden this influence shed a 1 mellow and attractive light, and gave to the performance of bar daily duties that orderly aod uninterrupt- ed cheerfulness which showed the content of her spirit. She found an engrossing tabor of love in superin- tending the education of bar sister. Blanche Warden bad now arrived * within a span of her eighteenth year, t Aljcra bsd guarded her path from in- ministering to her enjoyments and instilling into her mind all that her own attainments, circumscribed it is true, within a narrow circle enabled ¦ her to tench The young favorite had grown up under this domestic 1 nurture, aided by tha valuable in- el ruction • of Father Pierre, who bad the guidance of her studies, a warm- * hearted girl, accomplished much be yond/he scent acquisitions ordlna- 1 riiy, at that day. within tha reach of woman, sod distinguished for that < confiding gentleness of heart and 1 purity of thought and word which i the caresses of friend, the perception I of the domestic affections, and seclu- sion from the busy world, are likely to engender in an ardent andartleaa < nature Of the beauty of the Rons of St. Mary’s (for so contemporaries ware wont to designate her) tradition : speaks with a poetical fervor. I 1 have beard it said that Maryland, far-famed for lovely women, bath not 1 since bad a fairer daughter. The beauty which lives in expression was eminently hers; that beauty wbioh it scarcely caught by the painter- which changeful as the surface of the welling fountain where ail the fresh images of nature are forever shifting and sparkling with the glories of the mirror defied the limner's skill. In steturp she was neither short nor tall, but distinguished by a form of admirable symmetry both for grace and activity. Her features, ll is scarce necessary to say. were regu- lar—but not absolutely so for I know not why, perfect regularity, is a hindrance to expression. Eyas of dark hazel, with long ’ashes that gave by turns, a pensive and playful light to her face, serving, at will, to curtain from the world the thoughts which otherwise would have been read by friend and foe; hair of a rich brown, glossy, and, in some lights, even like the raven’s wing-ample in volume and turning her brow and sboald,ere almost into marble by the contrast; a complexion of spotless, healthful white and red; a light, elastic step, responding to the gaiety of her heart; a voice, melodi- ous and clear, gentle in Its tones and various in its modulation, according to the feeling It uttered-these consti- tuted no inconsiderable items in the inventory of her perfections. Her spirit wss blithe, affectionate And quick in its sympathies; her ear was crud clous to believe what was good, and slow to lake an evil report.

I might tell more of Blanche War* den. bat that my teak compels me to hasten to the matter of my story. To Be Continued. ' " ¦- Poor Woman Fooled, as Usual. A dentist received a call the other morning from a couple whom he won had reason to believe were lovers. The girl bad an aching tooth, and as they entered tba young man said: “Now, darling, the worst is ovsr. Just take s seat and it will be out in a minute. 0 "Ob, I daren’t!” she gasped. "But it reslly won’t hurt you hardly any. yon know.” "But I’m afraid it wllL” “It oan’i I’d have one pulled in s minute if it ached.” "I don’t believe it." “Well, then, I’ft here one out just to show you that it doesn’t hurt.” He look e seat, leaned back and opened his mouth, and the dentist apparently was selecting e tooth to seise with his forceps, when the girl earnestly protested: “Hold on! The test is sufficient. He hss proved his devotion. Move away, Harry, and I’ll have It pull* ed.” She took tbs ohsir, had the tooth drawn without a groan, and aa she went out she wee saying to the young man: "Now I can believe you when you declare that you would dia for me.” And yat—evary tooth In hie head was false! Fresh. There wee no doubt of It; he wee very angry when ha entered the vll- lags grocery store and demanded to see tba proprietor. “You sold my wife some eggs yea- terday, Mr, Pervay,” he said when the grocer appeared. Waal, yea.” said Mr, Paavy grai. “And"you tol<f her Mat tney were fresh eggs,” continued the visitor. "Waal, yea; It seems to me I did.” •eld Mr. Peevsy. "But, see here, Peavey, you bad do business to say they were fresh eggs.” "Why not? I bought ’em tor fresh —from 81 Wiley, too,” “I don’t believe it. SlWiley’sen honest man.” “Weal, Si said it all right. Ha come in here with bis bask It full of ’em and put ’em down on the counter and traded ’em off for e box of sody biscuits.” “When was thief” “Oh. 1 dunuo. ’Bout six weeks ago. I guess." The Marriage Age. The marriage ege in Austria is 14 years for both sexes; Germany, the man at 18, the women el 14; Beigi- urn. the man at 18. the woman at IB; Spain, the man at 14, the woman at 12; Mexico, with parental consent, 16 and 18, otherwise 31 for both; France, the man at 18, the woman at IB; Greece, the man at 14, the wo- man at 13; Hungary. OathoHoa, the man at 14, the woman at 12; Fortes- taota. the man at 18, the woman at IB; Portugal, the man at 14, the wo- man at 13; Russia, tba man at 18, the woman at 16; Saxony, the man at 18, the woman at 18; Switzerland, the man at 14, the woman at IX. Ml. “Is Philadelphia older than Boston, mother?” asked a thought* ful Boston child. "Of course not, my eon. The first settlement wee made In Charlestown in 1630. while William Penn did not arrive on the site of Philadelphia until fifty-two years later.” '‘That was always my impression, mother; but how is it then that Philadelphia is mentioned in the Bible while Boston is not?” Ml. There wee a good deal of sound human nature in the unexpec- ted reply of the dying old woman to her minister's leading question: “Here, at the end of a long life, which of the Lord's mercies are you most thankful for?” ¦ Her eyes brightened as she answered: “My victuals.” Mk. Teddy was saying his prayers at bedtime one night not very long ago. Kneeling down athis mother’s knee, the sleepy little fellow began: “Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.”—he paused. "If’—hle mother prompt- ed. “Ifhe holler, let him go; enie, meals, minis, mo.”

Anthony Warden bad reaided inMaryland for forty pars before theperiod of lin tSfy. During thegreater portion of thin time be oer-formed the duties of the Collector oIthe Proprietary's revenue* in theport. By the percussion ofCeciliasCalvert he bad become a settler inthe New World, wfore bo bed re-oelved from bis patron the grant ofa large tract of land, which, In pro-greae of time, under a careful oourseof husbandry, rendered btm a man
tract iav adjacent tolh j!lstretched along Ibe creek of St.Inigo**, constituting an excellentfarm of several hundred acres.Upon this land tba Collector baddwelt from an early period of bissettlement.
A certain sturdiness of characterthat matched the perils of that ad-venturous colonial life, and • vigor-ous intellect, gave Mr. Warden greetauthority over the inhabitants of theprovince, which was increased bythe predominant honesty of purposeand plain, unpretending directnessof hie nature. A bountiful purseand joeudn tamper enabled andprompted btm to indulge, almostwithout stint, Ibet hospitality whichfurnishes the most natural and ap-
propriate enjoyment of those whodwell remote from the busy marieof the world. Hie com pen tunablehabile bad left their tokens upon bisexterior. Hie frame was corpulent,bia features strongly d6tied, bla aysdark blue, with a mastiff kindnessin lu glance. The flush of generousliving had slightly overmasteredthe wind and-weather hue of hiecomplexion, and given it the tintaofa ripe pear. Seventy years hadbeaten upon hla poll without otherbadge of oonqueel than that of achange of hla brown locks to white;—their volume was scarcely dimin-ished, and they still fell in curieupon hie shoulders.
Two marriage* bad brought hima large family of children, of whomthe eldest (the only offspring of hiefirst nuptials) was Alice Warden, amaiden lady who now, well advanc-ed in life, occupied the highest postof authority in the household, whichbad, for several years past, beentransferred to her by the demise ofthe second wife. His sons had allabandoned Ibe paternal roof in Ibevarious pursuits of fortune, leavingbehind them, beside Mistress Alice,a sister, the youngest of the flock,who, at the epoch at which I amabout to present her. was just verg-ing towards womanhood.
The dwelling of the Collectorstood upon the high bank formed bythe union of St, Inigo's creek andSt. Mary’s river. It was, accord-ing to the moat approved fashion ofthat day, built of Imported brick,with a double roof penetrated by
' narrow and trlangular-oaped win-dows. The rooms were large andembellished with carved wainscotsand a profusion of chiseled wood-work, giving them an elaborate andexpensive aspect. This main build-ing overlooked, with a magisterialand protecting Mr, a group of sin-gle-storied offices and out houseswhich were clustered around, one

of which was appropriated by theCollector as his place of business.This spacious domlolt. with itsbroad porch. oottage-Hke appen-dages and latticed sheds, was em-bosomed in the shade of elms andmulberries, whoso foliage, fannedby the autumnal breeze, murmuredin unison with the plashing tidethat beaLwgainst the pebbles imme-diately below. A garden Ih the
, rear, with treliised and vine cladgateways, and walks lined with box,
; furnished good store of culinarydainties; whilst a lawn, in front, oc-cupying some two or three acres,and bounded by theoiiffwhich form-©d the headland on the river, layopen to the sun, and gave from thewater an unobstructed view of themansion. The taste displayed Inthese embellishments, the neatnessof the grounds, the low, flowor-•pang.ed hedge of thorn that guard-ed the cliff, the clumps of rose treesand other ornamental shrubs, dis-posed to gratify the eye in tbs shiftlog seasons of tbsir bloom, the vari-ous accessories of rustic seats, bow-era and parterre.—ail united to present an agreeable and Infallible in-dex of that purity of mind whichbrought into assemblage such sim-ple and attractive elements of beauty. '
Allaround the immediate domainof the dwelling-house were orchards,woodlands sod cultivated Helds, 1with the usual barns and other ‘structures necessary in the processof agriculture;-—ths whole region .presenting sieve! plain, some fiftyor !sixty feet above the tide, ofsingular *rlebnees as a landscape, and no less 'agreeable to be looked upon for its !associations with the Idea of comfenable independence in the pro-prietor. This homestead had ob- 4talned the local designation of the 1Rose Croft,— s name, in some 1degree, descriptive of the predomi- *nsnt embellishment of the spot. (
In his autre. Master Anthony ‘Warden, the worshipful Collector 1(to give him his usual style of sd- *dress In the province), exhibited 1*°®* towards the ooxoom- 'that scrupulous observance of t%B 'prerogative of rank and ags which fcharacterised the costume of the 1olden lime,—smacking no little of (the flavor of the official martinet. 1Authority, amongst our ancestors, 1was wont to borrow consequence 1from ebow. The broad line which 'separated gentle from simple was 1recognized, to those days, not less 'strongly in the habiliments of theperson than in bis nurture sodmanners. Ths divisions bctwseothe classes of society were cot moreauthentically distinguished in soyoutward sign, than in the embroid-ered velvet or cloth of the man ofwealth, and the plain serge, worsted. or leatherof the craftsman. TheCoilaotor of Bi. Mary's, on festivsoccasions, went forth arrayed muchafter the manner in which Leslie hasrepresented Sir Roger de Coverly,in bis admirable painting of thatknight; and although ha was 100 vainof bis natural kwka to adopt theperiwig of that period, yet be bsdtrained his luxuriant tresses into astudied imitation of this artificialadornment. His embroidered costof drab velvet, with wadded skirtssod huge open cuffs, bis lace wrist-bands, his ample vest, and whitelamb’s wool hose rolled above hisknees, hie buckled shoe and tbree-oorcered bat-all adjusted with aparticularity that would put ourmodern foppery to shame—gave tothe worthy bargees of Bt. Mery’s ssubstantial ascendancy snd an un-questioned regard, that renderedhim, next to the Proprietary, themost worshipful personage in theprovince.
This pedantry of costume and thecircumspect carriage which Itexact-ed, were pleasantly contrasted withthe flowing vivacity of the wearer,endenderiog by their concourse anamusing compound, which I mightcall a fettered aod pinioned alacrityof demeanor, the rigid stateliness ofexterior seeming rather ineffectual-ly to encase, as a half burstingchrysalis, tbs wings of a gay nature.
Mr. Warden was reptuted to bestubborn in opinion. The good peo-ple of the town, aware of bis per-tinacity in this particular had nomind to make points with him, but,on the contrary, rather corroboratedhim in bis dogmatism by an amiableassentation; so that it is said, be grew
i dally more peremptory. This had be-, come so much his prerogative, that
the Lord Proprietary himself gave
way to it with as good a grace as therest of the inhabitants.
It may be imagined that so general
i a submission to this temper wouldhave the tendency to render him

The household at Roee Croft, I-have hinted, was regulated by Mis-tress Alice, who had sometime beforepur acquaintance with her reachedthat period of life at which the fe-male ambition for display is prone tosubside Into a love of domestic pur-soft*. It was now her chief%ord!ycare and delight to promote the com-fort of those who congregated aroundthe family hearth. In the adminis-tration of this office, it may be toldto her prelee, that that aha manifest-ed that unpretending good sensewhich is a much more rare and es-timable quality than many others of ibetter acceptation with the world.As was natural to her tranquil posi-tion and kindly temper, her feelings (had taken a play towards devotion,which Father Pierre did not omit to (encourage aod confirm by ail the ipersuasions enjoind by the Roman ichurch. The gentle solicitude with twhich the ministers of that ancientfaith watch and assist the growing 1zeal of its votaries; the captivation (o' its venerable ceremonies, and the tfamiliar and endearing tone in whichitaddresses itself to the regard of tits children, sufficiently account for IIts sway over so large a portion of jmankind, and especially for its holdupon the affections of tbs female 3breast. t
Upon the thoughtful character atAlice Warden this influence shed a 1mellow and attractive light, andgave to the performance of bar dailyduties that orderly aod uninterrupt-ed cheerfulness which showed thecontent of her spirit.

Of the beauty of the Rons of St.Mary’s (for so contemporaries warewont to designate her) tradition :speaks with a poetical fervor. I 1have beard it said that Maryland,far-famed for lovely women, bath not 1since bad a fairer daughter. Thebeauty which lives in expression waseminently hers; that beauty wbioh itscarcely caught by the painter-which changeful as the surface of thewelling fountain where ail the freshimages of nature are forever shiftingand sparkling with the glories ofthe mirror defied the limner's skill.In steturp she was neither short nortall, but distinguished by a form ofadmirable symmetry both for graceand activity. Her features, ll isscarce necessary to say. were regu-lar—but not absolutely so for I knownot why, perfect regularity, is ahindrance to expression.

Poor Woman Fooled, as Usual.A dentist received a call the other
morning from a couple whom hewon had reason to believe werelovers. The girl bad an achingtooth, and as they entered tba youngman said:
“Now, darling, the worst is ovsr.Just take s seat and it willbe out ina minute. 0
"Ob, I daren’t!” she gasped."But it reslly won’t hurt you
hardly any. yon know.”"But I’mafraid it wllL”“Itoan’i I’d have one pulled in
s minute if it ached.”"Idon’t believe it."“Well, then, I’ft here one out just
to show you that it doesn’t hurt.”He look e seat, leaned back and
opened his mouth, and the dentistapparently was selecting e tooth toseise with his forceps, when the girlearnestly protested:
“Hold on! The test is sufficient.He hss proved his devotion. Moveaway, Harry, and I’llhave It pull*ed.”
She took tbs ohsir, had the toothdrawn without a groan, and aa shewent out she wee saying to theyoung man:
"Now I can believe you whenyou declare that you would dia forme.”
And yat—evary tooth In hie headwas false!
Fresh.There wee no doubt of It; he wee

“You sold my wife some eggs yea-terday, Mr, Pervay,” he said whenthe grocer appeared.

fresh eggs,” continued the visitor."Waal, yea; Itseems to me I did.”

"Why not? Ibought ’em tor fresh—from 81 Wiley, too,”
“Idon’t believe it. SlWiley’senhonest man.”
“Weal, Si said it all right. Hacome in here with bis bask It full of’em and put ’em down on the counterand traded ’em off for e box of sodybiscuits.”

"Of course not, my eon. The firstsettlement wee made In Charlestownin 1630. while William Penn did notarrive on the site of Philadelphiauntil fifty-two years later.”
'‘That was always my impression,mother; but how is it then thatPhiladelphia is mentioned in theBible while Boston is not?”
Ml. There wee a good deal ofsound human nature in the unexpec-ted reply of the dying old woman toher minister's leading question:“Here, at the end of a long life,which of the Lord's mercies are youmost thankful for?” ¦ Her eyesbrightened as she answered: “Myvictuals.”
