We talked together pleasantly on va rious subjects for an hour, perhaps, and I found him exceedingly interesting and entertaing. When he learned that I was from Washington he immediately begin to ask questions about various public men, and about Congressional affairs ; and I saw very shortly that I was ccipversing with a man who was pirfectl'y familiar with the ins and outs of political life at the Capital, > veil to the ways and manners and customs of procedure of Senatoils and Representa tives in the chambers of the -National Legislature. Presently two men halted near us for a single moment, ind one said to the other "Harris, if you'll, do that for me, lill never forget you, my boy." - My new comrade's eyes lighted pleas antly. The words had touched upon a happy memory, I thought. Then his face settled into thoughtfulness— almost into gloom. He turned to me arid said . "Let me tell you a story—let me gke you a secret chapter of my life—a chap ter that has never been referred to by me allow its events transpired. I.i.ten patiently, and promise me that you will riot interrupt me " I said I wpuld not, and he related the following strange adventure, speaking sometimes with melancholy, but alwity, with (fading and earnestness . THE RTRA ?MIR'S N A RRATIVIL On the 19th of December, 1853, I started from St Louis in the es ening bound train for Chicago There were only twenty-four passengers, all told There were no Indies and no children We were in excellent spihts, and ant acquaintances were soon formed The Journey bade fair to be a happy one and no individual in the party, I think. had ever the vaguest presentiments et the horrors we were soon to undergo At I l M it begun to now hard Shortly after leaving the small village of Weldon, we entered upon that venom dom prairie solitude that stretches its leagues on leagues of hou:4eless dreari ness, far away toward the Jubilee wale inents The winds, unobstructed by tre. or hills, or even vagrant- roeks, whistled fiercely along the let el desert driving the falling allow la - fore it lit , ,pray (ruin the crested waves of a stormy .sea The snow was deepening fast, and we knew, by the diminished speed of the train, that the engine was ploughing through it with steadily increasing chili olty Indeed it almost tame to a dead halt sometimes id the midst of great drifts that piled therrnselves like colossal graves across the track. Conversation began to flag Chesrfulness gave place to grave concern. "The possibility of being imprisoned in the snow, on the bleak prairie, Arty miles from any house, proient44l itself to every mind, and ex tended ' its depressing inflamer veer every spirit. At 2 o'clock in the morning 1 wits aroused out of an easy slumber, by die erasing of all motion around me The appalling truth Hashed upon nio instant ly—we were captives in a snowdrift 1 "All hands to the rescue."

We entered the car wearietl with labor and very sorrowful. We gathered about the stoves, and gravely canvassed our situa tion. We had no provisions whatever— in this lay our chiefdistress. We could net freeze, for their dans a good supply of wood in OM tender. Whig was oar only comfort. The discussion. ended at last in accepting the disheartening de cision of the conductor, viz : that it would be death for any Man to attempt to travel fifty . airier on foot through snoiv like that. We could sot, send for help, and even if we could, It could not come. We mu') submit and wait, as patiently as we might, succor or atarva lion I I think the stoutest heart there felts momentary chill when those words were uttered.

I have neverackin so perfect a speci men of female beauty us that of Delia Howard. She was just on the verge of her young womanhood when I knew her first. Petite it form, yet with a physi cal development so singularly lovely that even in a fashionable theatre, crowded with the beauty and refinement of a city, she would have been singled out as an object of peculiar admiration Iler blonde features and golden hair were made brilliant and noticeable by the large black eyes that wore fathom less in their intense light. Large and lustrous the 3 were indeed, full of a beauty that hiseinated ivh De it madden id you She was nu orphan niece of Howard, whom he had reared as his child Until recently," said Mr. F--, had repaid his kindne.s with affection, and even up to the event which drove her out into the world alone, she had shown to him a lave which owed none of its fervor and sincerity to pre tension " His own daughter was of different style of beauty, ned with it haughty and imperious manner which repelled friend ship and esteem But that she had hid under all that calm pride a heart quick to feel and passionate to resent real or supposed injury, her jealousy of her cousin disclosed. The admiration which the orphan everywhere excited madden ed her, and I do not doubt s h e had sworn in her fierce and bitter wrath to crush or kill her. You mustnot understand that I knew this until lone: afterwards When Mr 1 --- and tn)self were called on to in vestigate the robbery which involved the losi of a valuable diamond by a guest In the house, none suspected its existence. But when, after patient re search, and a thorough ..tamination of the premises, we became PittiNtled that the robbery hod' been committed by POMO one iu the hoops, and so stated to llov and, I noticed for jukt one um went a wild light, a cruel gleam of in telligence burn in the eyes of his daugh ter.

"You du not mean to tell me that ono of my awn family has done this deed," sternly demanded Mr Howard: "That can be ascertained air; but. that some ono in the house did it, is ev ident," I rejoined Of course ho demanded the strictest investigation ; and, while the search was being prosecuted, hisdaughtor exhibited evident excitement. But the mitting jewel was found at last in the 'workbox of Delia Reward. I know the oxpreaa. ion of guilt too wall to confound it with the look of unaffected aurprise, which changed to amazement when bee oousin said : "1 SAW her put it there!"

Two years afterwards I was' in Nen! York. The city was wild over a new actress that had just appeared. I went as every one else did, to pee her. The play was "Fazio."' The Oast audience was spell-bound from the rise to the fall of the curtain. I had never seen such acting before—l never expect to again. lerom the first the face of the anitst haun ted me. I had surely seen it before. It lingered in my memory like a regret,— As the curtain was descending on the third act, she raised her eyes to my box . , and I saw her turn pale and shudder.

She met me calmly, and seemed to wait for aret•- ognition. I could not tell where I had seen her. Mho went to an escritoir and took from 't a copy of the Mayans. "Read that," she pointed to a para graph detailing the circumstances of the missing diamond, but asserting a belie( in her innocence. I know her then for the young girl whose unhappy fate had always been a regret to me. "That paragraph," she said, "has been my only consolation.. in all my trouble It seemed that there wt yet a memory somewhere that linked my name with virtue ; the consciousness of that has dwelt in my heart like a sweet memorial of a time when a single thought lingered like a ray of light in the dark ness of life.

It is one of the most affecting spectacles to see tho bird of the ider—the eider—the cider duck—plucking its down from its breast for a couch and covering for its young. And if man steals the nest, the mother continueo; upon herself the cruel operajdon. When she has stripped off every feather, when there is nothing more to despoil but the flesh and blood, the father takes his turn; so that the little one is clothed of themselves and their substances, ,by their devotion and their suffering.
