Rage, frenzy, despair, are weak words to describe the emotions of John An drews, when he found his house had been robbed of its chiefeet treasure. His first impulse was pursuit. It was night when he set out aecompained by a trusty Sootehman, long in his employ and con fidence AO the two galloped along, Mr. Andrew's horse stumbled, precipi tating the rider to the grutiol, and fall ing heavily upon him.

As loon as cousciewee returned, he dispatched a rnoesenger fora nephew of his, a lawyer of not very good repute, residing in a neighboring town. Wbett Mr. Jackson, the nephew, ar rived, he was left alone with his uncle, at the latter' req u est At the end of an hour the doctor was sumnsoned, and re gunned by Mr. Andrews I. note his sig nature to paper, to which be then affix ed his name, declaring it to be his will, and asking the doctor to subscribe it as a witness, which was done.

XaePherwAt, it seems, bad been taint on Tome 'errand ; but as soon as he re turned, the doctor communicated Mr. Andrews message, and went himself to attend a sick call in the neighborhood, nut deeming his presence there iinmedi ately necessary. When he came back, he was astonish tind his patient dead. Such a re- Eult had not, Indeed, been anticipated, and its sudde ness took him entirely by surprise By Mr. adrews' will, which was published e days after his death, the entirety o his property was devised to his nephew, who had attended him in his last momenta. Everything was in due form Trust, MacPherson, one of the witnesses, pursuant ao a previous in tention, had sailed to Sootland shortly after the funeral, and IVII.I not present before the Judge of Probate. But his handwriting was proved, and the .evi (knee of the remaining witness was quite satisfactory. He had seen the tes tator append his signature, and heard him declare that the paper was his will, and was positive that, at the time, he was of sound mind and memory. Poor Btße's grief, when she received the intelligence of her father's deatk was too prokund to the depended by the news of her own disenherison.

The fact e , his whole heart and soul and mind ware occupied with a previtus ettechment—not from another; the far thest possible from that-- its object was himself. This affection, which was of the most ardent description, had met with • blighting disappointment in his site's lose of fortune and with hec. un- Ceasing grief and eon tinua I s'lfeiocusation --she offered no reproaches to him—he had but little patience, and soon gave her to understand as much.

At length the evidence closed, and I rose, to present our point, su ...v's It was . pitt in the shape of a motion to direct a verdict for the contestant, on the ground that the witnesses had not subscribed in the presence of each other. I was about to adduce arguments and authorities, when the Judge interpoiep, "The rule you claim undoubtedly was tho law, add should be so still, but a re cent statute has changed it.

On Sunday morning he arose as us ual, but found, when he apprdached the wash basin for the purpose of per forming his customary Ablution, that he was filled with a strange horror and aversion to the water. With consider able difficulty he mastered this emo tion, but it was only to Mid that it was "rotting upon him la a fearful rate. When lie ant down to the breakfast ta ble he found that his antipathy to flu• ids, espiecially water, was fast gaining a horrible ascemia-ney ever him. Sud. denly the terrible truth dashed upon him that lie was suffering under an ag gravated condition of hvdrophopia's premonitory symptoms.

The wound was cut and cam terited i and various medicants were in jected-into his veins. but to no purpose, for the malady increased in power the whole of the time. Towards the close of the afternoon he began to ex perience considerable bodily Aufihring, complaining of severe pain in the throat and eyes, and stating that quick sensations of sharp, smarting agony I were ocomtionally passing through hi s entire frame.

It being evident that none of the cu rative agents that were being used cl'd avail him anything, it became neceeaa ry to submit the patient to some new method of treatment. At this juncture one of the physicians suggested that he be placed at once in the care of some sulphur-bath proprietor, as it had late ly been stated through the papers that several cases of hydrophobia had been cured by means of this treatment in question. The idea was gladly caught at by his distressed relatives, and as there seem ed to be nothing else that could be done for him, preparations were at once made for carrying the suggestion into At about three o'clock in the after noon he was placed in a hack and con• veyed to the medicated bathing eetab litilimebt 0f.14 el Prescott, No 175 Mad ison street.

There is a variety of meth ode in shaking hands, according to the temperament, disposition or °era Sion. Some seize your hand with an earneet grasp--one foot extended—and holding your eye with their own. Such is the salutation of thedolly to, ready to 'ebare the last shot in the locker' with the stranger of the hour. °thars again, seize your hand with as much frenzy, mid may mean as well to ward you ; hut they do not look di rectly at you, but pass your cheap, with eyes steadily set, as if looking for some undefined gb oatli nese beyond, and seeming to ronveree with the same. Others give too great a show of ferven cy to the salution,cauuing your finger? to tingle with pain ; you involuntary glance at your injured hand, expecting it to be compressed into one horrid, 'ffrulsed, extended, index finger. Oth• ere add to this exhibition of muscular power by swinging your hand up and down— a sort of imitation that they are about to "pump" you. A fey come so close to you that you can . feel 'their breath upon your face ; others seem to be experimenting on the great cut distance at which the salutation can be exchanged. Some daintily offer you the tips of their fingers i it means either that they consider themselves your superior or, that they are not dia posed to be especially gracious. Ott. ere again, take your whole hand, en. dangering the immaculate whiteness of your wristbands. The moat agreeable shake of the hand is that meaning which stands guaranies to the sympa thetic look and kindly' spoken word The most abominable hand shaking tr lazy, listless offring, no pressure and averse to receiving. We have sha ken hands with such person?, and the memory of it has annoyed be for an hour atterwarda. It was like touching a wet dishcloth, or a cold, quivering frog. An embarrassing shake of the handi is when the party rests you hesitatingly, yet slightly, le if he felt guilty of boldness, or was not quite sure that he had been misled by a resemblance. It is as awkward as a pans, in a conversation. • Erotism Porrsor..— "Monadnock" writes to the New York nmes that postage in England, alter all the reform, of !Lowland Bill, is in many respects oppressive and absurd. A newspaper which costs a cent is two cents postage Thoota large, well tilled weekly paper oosta you testy-two cents a year, but if you getit by mail it coats you just three times as much. The lively Echo,dailr, mess $3.10 a year; by mail ie $9.30. The smallest printed circular is two cents. A letter to Germany is twelve cents, and, Paris, or even Boulogne in sight of the English coast, you must pay eight cents--say a dime—and for only a quarter of an ounce, because the English post office will not get weights of a third of an ounce or the French standard. f a barrel of letters can be carried as cheaply as a barrel of flour, it need not cost twelve cents to get half an ounce to New York. Oli the other hand, the English po4t earring four canoes of book, J apers, tnanuscript or corrected prooT for penny, a great convenience to poor Rub .blere, who can send their articles to one magazine after another, until at last, when worn to shreds, they are apprect aged and accepted. I know an Amen can lady who sent an article 'the rounds for weary weeks in this way and then got $.50 orB6o for it, which she greatly needed. But the postage on want. script, sent from America in my cure sometimes, is something frightful fur 11 poor author to contemplate. WH 11.
