glare of huge bonfires, the flaming of dancing

with jubilant shoo'..--, cries, and exultant laugh

Kenedthe victor's fiumph. The humble home
i.f the artisan and the proud mansion oi the rir.h
alike shone with light, and resounded with
sounds of joy. But no home was so gay and
resplendent as that of the wealthy ar.d hospita
ble Robert Dainetaert, whose twin-born sons
had thot dav, and ever since the landing ol the
foe, b i> en foremost in the battle, aod who were
now fresh from victory to see their only sister
wedded to Willi'-.n Avern, a young and distin
guished captain ot the Tennessee Rifles. Long
before Packenliam gave ills soldiers the bandit
watchword of "Booty ar.d Beauty,' \V illiarr
Avern and Clara Daincmerthad pledged then
vows ; and their loves having gained the wil
ling consent of Gen. Robert, the da}' that should
see them united '.ad been fixed upon, and that
day was tire <Sth of January- Though whes
the time '.as appointed, none dream-"t that it
was to be a day of battle. Honored ami un
scathed the young Tennesseean h"d ridden from
the field as the enemy turned in defeat and dis
may, anii with old white-haired Dainemert and
to, warrior bovs, had hastened to bear tne hap
py news to mother, sister, and betrothed.
"She shall be yours this night, my dear Wi!-
I'-im." said the old genera!, as they drew r-iu
before .is house on Toulouse street. "f\ nat
happier date for a marriage anniversary than
that which shall be a matron's pride. Ha
good news is before u e ," lie continued, as nt
w ife and daughter sprang from the house to
greet them.
"Thank Heaven, }ou have all returned safe
in lite and limb," was ,the exclamation of the
wife and moth-r, as she embraced her husband
and sons.
"Thank the God of battles that he ha? given
our country the victory !" was the response of
the stout old patriot, who had seen same the foe
flying from the muskets that rattled along Bun
k r Hill many years before. The lovers utter
ed not a word, but the beaming of their eves
spoke volumes of mutual happiness.
But it the] iy ofthe lovers found no tongue,
the clamorous and heaity shouts of the ebon
aged servants, clustering around with eager
faces that shone in the torch light, made ample
amends.
"I have a promise to fulfil," said the general,
"and we most invite our t; vends as fast as legs
can carry messages. William is to wed Clara
thisnight Come, wife, you are nil ible with
Vlie pen run. write to those who stand upon
%
etiquette, ami hurry verbal invitations to til
rest. Send for your brn-'emai ls, Clara, my son*
shall be your groomsmen, William. I would
that your father were alive to see this happy
day—but be fell tike a patriot at Lundy's Lane
as did yopr grandfather at Monmouth. You
spring from a race of soldi-re, my (Lsr boy, and
this campaign has proved you worthy ot your
descent."
Thir was spoken as the general l*d the way
into his parlor, and every word was heard by a
dark-faced and haughty young man, who rose
from a sofa as they entered.
"Well, nephew, we won the 6ght,and Huron
SI. Maur was not there," said the genera!, with
a severe glance as the young man met his
eye.
"Huron St. Maur, when taken prisoner ai
Detroit," replied his nephew, "pledged his
word not to bear arms against England during
this war. But my heart was with you all,
uncle."
"If I had been at Detroit," retorted the old
patriot, "Hull had died ( by my hand before he
should have disgraced the name he won in the
Revolution ; and if I had been Huron 9t. Maur
I'd remained a captive tather than accept liber
ty with my sword in limbo. But make ready,
my boys, for the wedding. Be happy while
van can, far the flritvyi is a tough dog, and
may give us another bait before the week'
out."
So saying the noble old so!. J .i<-r hastened t<
change dress and scatter his orders, whil.
f-is sons with W>liiam Avern, hurried to thei.
apartments to exchange their war-stained gar!
tor garments befitting the occasion.
Huron St. Maur, a coward "in heart, villait
in mind, hsd, as he said, given his parole at De
troit—given it betore ttie dotard Hull disgracer
t!ie American arms, with a bloodless surrender
loan inferior force : for Huron St. Manr wa.
traitor as well as poltroon. He had long lover
his cousin Clara, both for the wealth that wouh
be hers, and her lovely person. He was th.
-on of the general's soungest s:.-t. ~ and his fa
ther had been a French oil. -r, wtio served un
der La Fayette. Both father and mother spiant
ti ;u n brave and warlike liti-, but the son ha
inherited none ol their riubler traits. A shrew;
schemer, a cowardly plotter, and a seifish, un
scrupulous man, Huron St. Maur had iived tbi;
tv years, ami not done one worthy deed,
name and iniluence of his uncle had obtaine.
for him a taptain's commission, but the tap o
the drum, and the fume ol gunpowder alway
drove his watery blood from ins cheeks. Gia.
to forsake the field for the caip-t, he had return
ed to his uncle's to push his suit for the hear!
and hand of Clara Dainemert. But he me 1
blank repulse, lor both were already pledged ti
the brave and handsome William Avern, i
young man of noble character, good descent
and rising fame. Had he Huron St
Maur would have fought his rival for the prize
but his craven soul instinctively shrank from <
combat with the young Tennessean. St. Maui
had already wealth enough to content any bo!
a mercenary spirit, but grasping eagerly foi
more, and infatuated with the beauty of ho
cousin, he would have sold his salvation to cai,
her and her fortune his own.
When left by his uncle in the parlor, as 1
have related, he hurried from the bouse with s
throbbing heart and burning brain. He had not
dream". 1 that the marriage was to be so sudden
imi all day .bad prayed to tUe eviT spirits
he worshipped, to guide lead and steel to the
heart of his rival, Aow he saw hnn returnee
triumphant —a victor and a bridegroom. Ht
hastened to do what his wicked mind had beer
plotting. Ere many micutes had passed, In
stood in the private office of an Italian apothe
cary and chemist, a dastard who would have ta
ken a thousand human lives, for as many gold
pieces, if no danger of detection should menace
hitn : a lean and withered old miser, who 'ooa
ed upon all mankind as so many vermin, deem
,:.g gold the only valua't i& tiling on ear h, so
said report, and Huron believed it. Who car
explain the insanity o! such avarice, for Carle
Berbi made no use of his w"alth, save to gloat
over it in grim solitude.
"I have come for the almond," said Huron
as the chemist raised his small black eves tc
his.
•'Have you brought the price, young man ?"
Huron threw a purse upon the table. Carle
counted out the yellow coins, one by one, try
ing the weight and ring of each, until he had
numbered one bu ndred.
"Right," said he, as he swept them pnto his
pouch, end stowed that into his bosom. "I on
ly w i>;: I could sell a sack of double almonds ?t
that price—ssoo a nut !"
Carlo Berbi then produced a large almond,
neatly halved, and containing twin kernels, one
of which was chipped 3t each end.
• Whoever swallows this," sai.J the Pahan,
holding up the marked almond, "does himself
no harm ; but 1 would not be he who shall eat
the other. Do not make a mistake."
ii\pfo- f.'ar," <aid Huron, as the chemist
glued the halv-s nicely tog'ther. "But how
long does It take to effect its purpose 1"
"Three bonis — and leaves no trace, • my
young In-nd. You ordered this to be made
ready three weeks ago, and as you had not cal
led for it, I began to think your courage had
failed."
"The time had not arrived," sai I Hucr as
he placed the almond in his vest. "But tell mr.
lid man, have we not met be flu e ?"
"Where ? until three weeks since V
"In Paly, where I lived some five years a
go. There i3an air—a tone in vour voice which
reminds me of some one 1 once knew in Rome,"'
sail Huron.
"Ah 1 I had a relative there ; perhaps you
knew her," said Carlo, gazing sharply into his
face. "She was very beautiful, all said, and
her name was Bianca, the Flower Girl."
Huron St. Maur grew ashy pale : but in a
moment he replied :
"I have seen her—what has become ol
her ?"
"She i<f dead ! She gave her love to some
heartless viilan. He deserted her ; and she
died some twelve months or su, ago. The de
stroyer of her young life was a German count,
I have heard. He had left Rome three or four
years before Bianca died in my arms. I wish
I could find the scoundrel. So long as Bianca

lived she blessed him ; but now that she is m
more, I think that I would give all my gold t<
take an Italian's vengeance."
"And justly too"' said Huron, the reprobate !
| Well,good night."
"Good night, my young fuend. Da not ea
th- unmarked almond."
"Not I, indeed," laughed the heartless iluroi
is turned and sped rapidly away.
When he again stood in his uncle's house, i
was thronged with guests, among whom he soot
was scattering j> st and compliment.
"Ha !" said his old uncle, as he met him nea
flie centre of the main parlor, "you are a lag
gard again. Absent i'a.in the fi- Id, aad lard'
af the web i: g. William ant Cima became
j man and wife j- t five minutes since."
"I c'.:!Ti ahi j from the fc .: ." said Huron
as he saluted t■ . nev -mad ■ wife, and thei
grasped the hand < f the hap| y husband.
"I wish vou a hiindr*-! years of rntitnal joy
Cousin ' dura—a id von, too, William,'said, he
with smiling tins and <h*vji*s heart ■ and all tha
jubilant evening—who so gay as Huron bt
Maur ?
At length the festive time came on, an;
sparkling wine and wit, over frosted cake anc
dainty viands, ruled tbe hour. Then said 11 u
ron St. Maur, as he fi.led a plate with al
monds :
"Come, Cousin Will—since we are n wly
marie kins:! en, eat a Philopc ia with me ; am
who loses shall forfeit to toe ,d>
" laughed the jovous bridegroom
"Seek a double almond."
"Ah ! I am sure I have one here," raid Hu
ron, crushing the almond for winch he oad past
in gold. "This is yours—now Iwe eat togeth
er, and for. -it singly."
AM unsuspecting, the gallant young warrior,
nearer dea'h than when British beliefs had .an
ned his manly che- ■ that morn, ate the un
marked almond, while the Judas graying wit'
a kiss, half unconscious of tie act, so fierce
were the gsnity fhrobbings of his heart, swab
lowed the other kernel.
• xVo li'-iir.' -.fter. when Vlumn st id aloof,
watching the bride and her spouse as the}
moved in grace and joy in the lively dance, i
servant approached and . ,!d him some one wish
ed to see him at the street door. Huron impa
tiently followed the call, for he hoped to set
that handsimefface grow deadly pale, that man*
ly form i elated in so id- n death, and to heai
the crash of his rival's fall, at the very teet <>
tin blooming blushing Lnie. He found Carlo
Berbi at the door.
"You (lid not eat the unmarked -mnel ask-
I the old Italian eagerly.
Xo, I ate the one chipped at the ends, ' re
plied the traitor.
"It is we'!," said Carlo. "Now go re3i
this," and as he spoke he placed a billet in Hu
ron's hand, and hurried away.
Carelessly, for his mind was upon th bride
groom, Huron St. Maur opened tbe no'e a'
he entered the parlors again, and read these
words :
"With Imr last breath B2nca told me the

One of the most singular wagers \VP ever
heard of, was made in Chicago on the dav be
fore the municipal election in that city — r<.
worth and Gurney, thp opposing candidate.-, for
Mayoralty. The bet was between a Water
street merchant and Ned Osborne of the Tre
mont House, the largest ciga- and tobacco dea
ler in the city, and was to the effect that i!
Went wot th was elected, Osborne should have
the privilege of kicking the Water street mer
chaht aforesaid, from 'he Tremont House tn
Springer street. The day alter the election,
the merchant having lost, came to Osborne's
store and presented his person to him for the
contemplated kicks, and demanded that Os
borne should take the stakes. Osborne had been
training bis right leg the day previous, and had
armed tiis foot with a heavy cowhide boot, with
soles as thick as two clap boards. Tbe mer
chant started up bv the Tremont, Osborne de
livering a heavy kick as he started, but drew
back his; foot with a spasmodic action arid par-
oxysm of countenance absolutely pitiful. I

trite niteiests, and who they ought to vote tor
President, ir something to that amount.
Q. Was that propUilion in writing ? A. I
Ihiuk it was.
Q. Have you a copy of it ? A. No, sir ;
I have nut.
Q. Did you state what amount you would
give* A. Let me go oil with my statement;

the effect of what f have said here ; I am not

! The negro-worshippers of New Bedford, Mass.,
! have elected a black man named Thomas Bayne
a member of the city council. Thus negroes in
xMassachusetts hold offices and sit on juries, and
white men who cannot stomach negro equality
will apparently have to emigrate from that
State ere long.

WILL THE COAL FIELDS lIULD OUT ?
At the present day we find the scientific pre
dictions and popular fears about the exhaustion
of coal are approached under the light of wider
explorations, more exact survpy?, and better
knowledge of the structure of the coal deposits.
That one hundred millions ot tons have been
taken annually out of the mines, with the cer
tainty, judging from the past, that the amount
i will he doubled and trebled, and still go on to
increase, as time and the world advance, is a
startling t.ict to contemplate. The following is
a table of the areas and solid contents of the
I ci\.i fields ia the principal countries ol the world
as given by l'roftssur Rogers in .;,s admirable
"D -cription of the Goal Fields 01 Aorth Amer

denskion, a learned Flemish traveller, who has
just returned from a visit lotl e Arctic regions,
auo -unces ti.at he discovered anthracite coal as
Gr Mmth a' Sjiiizbergto. Ovie ol the most re
inarkable feaiuiesot the coal svstem of the
gF'be, is its libetal distribu'lon over the Nor

And it will probably be found in the still unex
plored regions of Centra] and iSorlhern Asia.
A COUNTRY apothecary being out for a day's
shooting, took his errand boy to carry bis game
bag. Entering a field of turnips, the dog poin
ted, and the boy overjoyed at the prospect ot
ins master's success, exclaimed :
"Lor, master, there's a covey ; if you get near
"em, won't you physic 'em
"Ph;sic them, you young rascal, what do
you mean ?"
. "'Why kill 'em, to be sure," replied the
' lad.
