IIY rtrthwe JOII S BON CHAPTER I, It is a bright, balmy rimming, and the dew-drops are quivering on the grass, as if , the stars of midnight hail distilled their es sence on the earth. The song of the lark is rising loud and clear, v.lide from the cot tage roof the red breast is sending forth his Joyous notes. It is as yet too early to hear the clang bf the blacksmith-4 hammer, or the voices in the work shops. A sense of quietness, peace aid pleasaainess is filling the soul, and therefore, dear reader, come with me and loiter Awhile In the 01.1 church yard, where slumber the dead in the pres ence of the living. Behold this simple grave, at whose head stands hut a plain stone, bearing upon it the initials W. 1. You wonder who sleeps I, Into , nil fain would know his . hiatdry, Then come, and as we trudge along to the wiling,, over which tlte sun is now throwing his golden beams, I will nine the curtain of the past, and pre sent before you a picture M the scenery of life- a page from the hook of human deprav ity. . Walter Gordon was the only child of a poor farmer living in the western country. Ills father had impressed upon his youthful mind the necessity of economy, and, an he grew up to manhood, those ideas took full possession of him. Ile was put in posses sum of a farm, and wheri he found himself his own MR! Ler, all his dormant mutinies began to flow in a. natural channel. lie made it his business to me% every pour farmer in the neighborhood, of shorn he could pur chase any saleable atucks, always taking advantage of their necessity. (.old, gold, was the object of his heart's adoration. Ile fawned, cringed, coaxed, ground down and oppressed to gain it, and he succeeded. -- For the love of gold he drove his old fattier from Ins house, and endeavored to fasten him on the village pool house. 'I he chil dren of the village cursed him, and his vic tims haunted him day and night. Hut what cared he f—gold was his god, and wrapped up in his own gloomy thoughts, he strode along ui his path of desolation All of Ins servants he discharged, with the exception of his old housekeeper, and himself he al most starved so as to hoard up faster. His mother mourned the downward couise of her non . all her lithnonitinlis were vain 'Tis strange how the love ul gold n ill cor rode the huMan heart, how it crushes be neath its sombre wings all of the nobler at tributes of nature. Ile kept her in an old garret of a house which he had bought, and often would growl and it nih for her death whenevin:he dealt out b, r weekly pittance. " Walter," said the aged woman, one day when he visited her, •• 1 am your toothier, and have a right to speak " limit be croaking, old woman !" was the hatch reply. Walter, lam a dying woman ; but I tell you there's a cuise upon you ' lour gold, ill got, will do you nu good. Heed my words —hod will curse you." " You are a fool ; your preaching is not wanted !" " That way be, Walter , but mars my words—the last I shall ever speak ltailliou! —your gold is useless, for the wages of sin is death'!" lier words were true -they were her last —in a week she died; At her death, he sunk deeper in the depths of meanness, for while living she kept him Linder sortie re straint. Superstition, with all its gloomy train, took possession Ui bun , and distrust shrouded him in her sombre wings. his idol —his gold —had become so precious, that he could not find a place sulilc•ently Bemire for its protection. lie lived in soli tude ; no friends evei Cll,lllO near him, no relative dared to visit brut. A large and fe rocious bull dog was ever at the door t.') pre• vent the entrance of streiigers. No person knew of his proceedings, fur ho was seldom seen out of the boundaries of his own gar den. Reports were freely circulited of his immense wealth—of the old ehestlievhicli contained the gold --and of the treasures hid about the predibtes. Time, passed ou,.how ever, and harder grew Walter (Jordon, as the evening of his days grew on. 1011 APTER. II It was upon a cold and stormy night that Walt& Gordon sat alone in ins solitary dwelling. The wind was roaring aloud the old hut, and sounded in his ears like the laughter of fiends. The housekeeper had gone to bed, and there wore none to disturb meditation. It was indeed a cheerless night, the heavy drops of rain pattered from the root and came in fitful gusts against the window. The ticking of an old clock, the roaring of the wind, and the throbbings of his own heart, formed the music of the mi ser's house. Lie was sitting upon an old chest, with hie arms folded, wrapped up within hitown thoughts. The motion of his dog as ho attempted to rise, attracted hp attention. "'hush, Pompey—lie down," he unifier ed, but, a low whine was the only response to his command. lie began to grow uneasy, and as a choking'sound — Clime from the dog he mutteted : " I-wonder what makes hrue so Utle4py to-night. Come here, here,.'' he BELLEFONTE, CENTRE COUNTY, H'ENN'A,, THURSDAY, MAY 12,1859.' continued in a louder tone, now becoming seriously alarmed. l'Ar doei ;Harrel not n mast lr ! (tieing from his sent, the miser proceeded to the corner where the dog lay, and giving him a kick, muttered an oath. Stooping down ho. seized him, dragging hiM fbrth ,and could nonfeely refrain from shrieking, when lieiiaw the dog woe, dead. Fears of some imribnding evil, fie knew not what, took pos session of him ; the seat stood out' in large drops upon his brow, and as he gazed upon the black anti swollen tongue of his dog, he trembled with fear Ile was about to go and rtv , aken the old woman, when a noise - a cry--and then a crash sounded upon Ins ears. Ile was In the art of crying aloud for help, when he fi It tho grasp of a hand upon his throat, and hoard a voice hissing in his Erm "Come, old boy, no noise : hot where's the gold ?'" " Mercy ! for the love of (lod ) mercy ! am a poor 01.1 man —very poor." 'And the wretch NU upon his knees and, wept. ' Stop that whining !" said the voice harshly, or else 111 pin a bullet through your head ! Where's your gold?" '' I am poor . I hove no gold," was all the miser could say 4 41ag lutn, said another voice, •• and let us search for ourselves Poor Walter liordon ! he fought, but all in vain. They tied and gagged him, and they began their search. When he beheld the robbers tearing up the floor, and rifling his c:iest, his agony was unspeakable ; but he was helpless. The sun had reached midway - lin the hea• yens before any discovery was made, and when they entered, the old woman was bound in one end or the house, and liordon in the other. They lifted hull up, cut the bonds that bound him, and placed him on a seat. lie began h(1011 to revive, and then burst out into a laugh which flighternd all his hearers. Ha ' ha' ha "• shouted he ; they come for my gold'" Then, changing hot tone for one of Imp phcation, he would cry " I am poor -very poor I No money have I -I am ft begger ' llr trai mason axis der/army,/ ' For a few weeks after, a poor, miserable, filthy figure of a man used to go -along the highway, picking up loose bits of rags, and muttering to honsi If an unintelligible jar• gon Men evaded lum—children shrank with fear at his approach—and one day he WV.

I told her I'd oceans of money and goods, tried to frighten her with • growl ; but she answered that she was'nt brought up in the woods, to be scared by the screech of an owl I called her a beg gar, and everything bad ; I slighted her features and form ; till at length I succeeded getting her mad, and she raged like a sea in a storm. And then in a moment I turned and smiled, and called her my angel and all , she tell in my arms like a wearisome child, and exclaimed, " We will marry this fall." A lawyer built an Milne in the shape of a hexagon, or six square. The novelty of the N truly tu re attracted the attontion of sonic Irishmen who were passing by ; they stop ped and viewed the building very critically. The lawyer, somewhat disgusted at their cu. nosity, lifted up the window, put his head out and addressed them , "Why do you stand there, like s set Qt blockheads, gazing at my office, do you take it for a church I'.' "FaixP answered one of them, "I was thinking so, till I saw the devil poke his head out of th o window." We find in an exchange the following : The experiment is worth trying and is deci dedly a pretty one.

A man well dressed and genteel in Appearance, called at the house and in• quired for the lady, and upon presenting herself, informed her that he had been trans. acting some business with her Misband, and owed him it balance of five dollars, _which, being about to leave town, he *as anxious to pay, lint way unable to find him. • 'The lady signified her readiness to receive the balance, and Was tendered a ten dollar bill, for which she returned five dollars from her purse. On the return of the husband, lthie alluded to her financial transaction with some degree of pride, and produced for the inspection of her wondering spouse, the bill which she had received. The dim suspi cions which bid enter'ed his mind at the first mention of the transaction, were verifi ed when he saw the bill, whidh was as base. a counterfeit on the Mechanics' Rank of Philadelphia as we ever saw.
