He yras called Sir Roger to perpetuate his universal benevolence. — An evening passed with him, became one better than-the enjoyment of the evapora i tingi frivolities of gayer life;, But he is now? entombedwith the worm of the grave, yet his face is painted upon,’ and his vir- framed for my memory. “ Come to-morrow evening,” said Sir lloger, “ and I will tell you a; story.” “;3Jy story is a life fact,”; commenced Sir Roger. “ To you it may be instruc tive. -and still more, you remember it to benefit others; for you know” turning his pleasant eyes full upon me, “ wc love to do good, at least we should.

And yet, incon- IrosVjrtible as this is, it is little regarded —too little by the parent,; less by tho guardian. .*< Philip Marlowe was my intimate Class mate in college—a young man possessing peculiar and noticeable twits. He was a gobd scholar, a gentleman ini his mrfnucrs, and apparently easily read. He was am bitious, cool in design, shrewd, cunning, anR rashly bold. He played deep-without suspicion of failure. Yet,‘in all things, Hei lacked one essential jrinciple. This pgs effectually covered by his master tact, and he always passed as the model stu dent. I fancied he suspected my confi dence in him was not very strong; but he pursued the right course in .such a page— — fluttering: me with his friendship and reli ance so far as his policy dictated. Unex ceptionable ;in his easjp ‘conversations, princely-io his ideas, he charmed mo, and although I loved him, yet there was some thing fearful in my suspicions that the ev idences of friendship were clever advances to convert me. ul have shuddered as I caught, unawares, Iris eye upon me. I never could relieve myself from the idea that he suspected I knew him better than he desired. The sequel demonstrated it. “ It is a fearful thing, my young friend, to live under a disguise one’s life-time.— But there are those who do it. It may bo the first you meet iu the street. It may be the father, the counsellor, the elder, the preacher, the merchant in high esteem, your friend. Did you ever think of it'( — In order to know, youtnust observe. Pass not blindly through life. Live to learn. Watch the lip, the brow, the eye. Study the semblance between the utterance and the action. JLuk the gift and the sub ject, the favor rod the grantor. The pol itician takes you warmly by the hand, he speaks warmly, promises warmly, despises you warmly. The speculator of friend ship whispers a golden’ word to you, and bites off a damning point against you.— Ho effects his object, triumph 3 you, suffer. The man clamorously zealous in advoca ting moral and divine precepts, imploring, with streaming eyes, “ Our Father,” is a consummate hypocrite. After the fire the still small voice. That was of God. ,11. C. DEUX That was God. The merchant, -rich in his crowning suppers, is a bankrupt and a villian. All this and these may be suc cessfully veiled for years, but not for all time. Just retribution will develop, will incinerate. You cau readily suspect that maa who declares the most for your inter est. The cat needs but to watch to catch her prey. ■> “ Through the period of four years Marlowe and myself were mostly together. By this singular friendship I gained char acter, for py class-mate was highly es teemed by the Faculty and loved by all.— The young ladies smiled more sweetly when Marlowe addressed them; but he looked ou women as ornaments merely, that would not bear handling without lo sing lustre. - “ It is instructive as well as amusing to follow the movements of good chess-play ers. The pieces are before each, and the same opportunity to win offers itself, if the one is as the other. But there is a wide difference resting on the same talent, developed in a cheating game of cards, where the sleeves or other covert hides the ace that gives to and takes from. I contend nature is more easily studied Where there is the more to occupy the minds of many; for instance, a city. The pressure of obligations is esteemed security from detection, but to the accurate obser ver it is the very sii/nal of distress. “ So successfully did Marlowe play his part at our graduation I almost denied my suspicions. Indeed, the jury of,my con science stood ten for acquittal and two for conviction; still those two were very te nacious of their opinions. The usual re sult took place—a discharge; for we pur sued different avocations. Before we sep arated, I received much good counsel, and many good suggestions from Marlowe, such as could exist only where there was actual belief in’the same. “ Disgusted with all professions, my friend chose merchandise, and soon after gave me his reasons for so doing, the chief of which hung upon 'being known as first' in the wbrld of traffic. I remember his words, ‘f Surprised you no doubt may be; yet .Roger, 1 can make more of'a sen sation in this-sphere than in the profes soins. Note the margin 1 have; and you know, ambition that is tempered with godly incentives should never tremble with doubt.” “ Could tMs Napoleon of ambition have buried the hypocrite twin .of his nature, what a prince would have lived, and what a blaze of glory would have extin guished at his exit! , , “ Life instructions arc varied as they are numerous; some pleasant, more bitter, neither continuous, though by far the longer not the sweeter. It is holy will that all should bo taught from the samq great page; likening mankind in this wise to the world of infants, for we all read our A B C'sT If the bitter bo not now, yctit will come.. • “ With a mind . peculiarly adapted to grasp at difficulties, and with sanguine confidencs of eventual success, my class mate worked on. The younger world be gan tobuzz his name. His affable man ner and eloquent tongue won admiration. With his usual coolness ho selected his partner, and the business world chronicled the birth of another house, Marlowe & Muldonald, names which since have passed East, West, North, South, and be yond oceans. Rich in experience, tried in .wisdom,: the elder world now began to buzz the name of Marlowe. He was first in the estimation of the business commu nity. Ilis drafts were gold, his words like so much silver, his name everything. Ho had won a character beyond impeach ment. When wo met he was the same, grown slightly subdued with the massive weight of cares and an enviable name.— His counsel Was sought to promote great enterprises, and documents witl) bia auto graph were synonymous with success. — With this bold upon the world, J almost fancied that he would continue to merit j his proud epithet. But. beyond bur own i ideas of recompense must we acknowledge [independent in everything.] ALTOONA, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1861. that which belongs to the Creator. He has assured us the sinner shall not go un punished. Itegardless of his position, there is no rank in the scales of God’s justice whereby the greater can be weighed with less fairness than the smal ler. Like merchandise for market, each one’s net is scored upon the tally-book, and if he had previously passed for worth beyond his value, ihe honest reduction will come finally. This doctrine has been blown by the Preacher into all quarters, substantiated by aggravated cases, and yet, temptation before, and a clever covert beside, have proved the more powerful of the twain. And this is it. Could the errorist know the last act of his drama, his courage would quail to perform what hope for concealment has encouraged him to do. But grasping ambition, intolera ble pride, ungovernable selfishness without principle, are subtle spirits to nourish. — They prove themselves mutineers that need only circumstances to develop des truction. Every one has a desperate spi rit. The best heart that ever dictated wholesome truths, has the alchemy of re volt against all divine and legis lative. It is not golden ease that furnish es the proof of such existing property, but poverty or ambition will fairly eluci date it, blotting from the argument the natural wretch—a coin of crime. “ Imagine yourself positioned in the velvet chair of unquestionable estimation, with a name echoed for pattern, a credit limitless, attended on each hand, support ed by, encircled by the bodyguard of imposed trust, and you have the case of Philip Marlowe. At this peroration of life had my classmate arrived. * A slight silver upon his hair showed the mental and physical struggle by which he had attained this acme. He had passed into middle life, overcoming obstacles, creating business, aiding enterprises, bestowing charity, gathering a name. “ I found upon my table one evening a note. It wak from Marlowe, requesting me to call upon him "punctually at ten the following morning. I fulfilled his wish, and found him in his thorning; wrapper. But he was much changed. The pallor of sadness, a hopeless expression was upon his face. Yet he took me kindly by the hand, and told me, with peculiar earnest ness, that he had sent for me to confess one life-deception. “Roger! I have known since we were class-mates, that you suspected my hones ty. By ?ny uniform life I have no doubt blinded and confounded you. But before night, not only you; but the world will know I have played my part devilishly clever. I shuffled the -pack to win,hut I have finally lost,’ and leaning forward with a look of terrible bitterness, in a hoarse whisper be added : It is all ambi~ lion without principle I “ For an instant his eyes glared upon me, his lip quivered, he essayed Again to speak, but fell heavily back. His head dropped upon his chest. He was dead! He had swallowed poison. He had been concealing and carrying on a series of for geries, by which means he had entered into private speculation of great magni- But a severe reverse had fallen upon him, and ho saw no other method of avoiding the damning results but suicide. Towards me he had always show A a uni form kindness, but to the world at large while feeding it with the supposed pabulum of deference, hfi was merely using this as the saccharine to surface the deposit of gall. ■ “The melancholy case stunned the world. Public confidence was staggered. Capitalists were dumb. .‘Every one shud dered. Mutual reliance lost one trusted pillar of its base; temptation has proved a Sampson, and polled it down amid the mangled pile of expectation, hope, and The tree that bore the de licious fruit was but of ingrafted growth in the commoner orchard of humanity.— Had principle guided the man, his ambb tion would have been righteous. Ho would have erected a mausoleum' that would have withstood; the gnawing tooth of obloquy and sapping jealously. His name, like Washington’s, would have passed down to posterity polished by age, the prince of merchants, the man of worth. ■, ■“Let existence be guarded by principle, and life* with all its phases of sunbeam end night, will gather honey from every petal, that will sweeten add nourish the ‘slip pered pantaloon’ age; and when Death, with his skeleton chariot, makes his impe rious call, you bid the last farewell to accompany the relentless drivel upon that return less ride ’mid the gincefest sorrow of following hearts. “This is my story of a life-ifact.

Thera are some episodes in the life of a soldier, provocative of laughter, and that serve to disperse, in a measure, the ennui of campi life, and the following is one of them: , _ Not long ago a farmer who did not re side as far from the camp of “ the boys” ns he wished he, did, was accustomed to find, every morning, that several rows of potatoes had disappeared from his field.— He bore it patiently for some time, but when tfad last half of nis field of fine “kidneys” began to disappear, he began to think' that sort of thing had gone far enough, and determined to stop it. Ac cordingly, he made a visit to camp very early next morning, and amused himself by going round to see whether the soldiers were provided with good and wholesome provisions. He had not proceeded far until he found a “ boy”just serving up a finp dish of “ kidneys” which looked marvellously like those that the “ gude wife” brought to his own table. Halting, the following very interesting dialogue ensued: “ Yoa havo some fine potatoes Lore, I see.” “Spendid!” was the reply., “ Where do you get them V’ “ Draw ’em." “ Does Government furnish potatoes in your rations?” “ Nary potato!” “ I thought you said you drew them.” “ So we do.” “ But how, if they are not included m rations?” “Eagjest thing in the world! Won’t you take some with us ?” said the soldier, as he seated himself at the table opposite the smoking .vegetables. . “Thank.'you! But will you oblige me by telling how you draw your potatoes, as they ore furnished you by the commis sary ?” . “ Nothing easier! Draw ’em by the tops mostly! Sometimes with a hoc, if one is loft in the field.” “ Hum! —yes—l understand! Well, see here I Friends, if you don’t “draw” any mote of mine,' I will “ draw” them myself, and, bring you a basketfull every morning!” “ Bully foe you, old fellow!” Was the cry, and three cheers and a tiger were given for former 1 Lee. The covenant was entered into, and no one but the owner “ drew”, potatoes from that field after wards; A Ruined Character. —Not a great while qgo, in a certain neighborhood, a man was wandering in search of employ ment. .He called at a respectable farmer’s bouse, and told his errand. “What is yonr name ?” asked the man. “Jonathan Gilman.” ' “ The same that lived near here when a boy?” : “ The same, sir,” “ I will not employ yon, then.” Poor Jonathan, surprised at such a re ply, passedon to the pent farmer’s; but the same, reply was given. He soon came in sight of an old school house. “Ahl” said lie, “I. understand it now. I was a school-boy there once, but what kind of a school-boy ? Lazy and disobe dient. Although lam now in a measure reformed, they all think me the same kind of a man as I Was a boy.
