It was nn old fashioned building, and tlw cellar, sepulchre or vaulr, was used ns n receptacle of the dead, either tem-. porary or permanently ua wns desired. In the centre of the room was a Irup doo', composed of nn immense slab of marble, in which was titted en iron ring which answered as a Landle. In order to gazi on the face of my darling, wbose features were now cold in death, I must raise the slab. And placing tbe lantern beside me on the elone floor, I seized the ring with both hands and exerted uil my strength, which was taxed to its utmost limits. I finally succeeded in raising it to a sufficient height, 8td secured it to zny satisfaction with a billet of wood, thinking that if I allowed it to lay back its full ividth, I should not be able to replace it in its original position. Seizing my lantern and tools, I slowly descended the 6tairs into the dark, yawn ing chasm, rendered doubly so, and the gloom more intense, from the contrast afforded by the faint" struggling gleams from my lantern, which threw a pale uncertain light around. A damp, disagreeable, fetid odor arose from the sepulchre (aa atmosphere pecu liar to the abode of the dead) ; long, wa vering shadow?, cast from the various coffins and posts, streamed ncroy. my path, which, to my excited fancy, sstemed to ba endowed with life ; and I paused midway on the stairs, inesolute and half regretting the resolution I had furmed. Hut, collecting ray energies and casting a hurried glance around, I determined to proceed, after progressing so far. My steps rebounded through the sepul chre with a dull, hollow sound, and as I reached the foot of the stairs, I again paused and surveyed the scene before and around me as well as I was able. The vault was long and t.airow, nnd coffins were piled oti3 on another on both ide and at the ends. A groat many bad been there for years, and I noticed that a number of them were decayed and almost rady to fall to pieces from age. As I slowly advanced, inspecting the coffins as I proceeded, the odor and siencli became more powerful and overpowering, and several times X was obliged to slop and recover from the nauseating effects of the vile atmosphere I was inhaling. From one of tbe top tiers a coffin had fallen aud remained standing upright. The lid hud fallen off, exposing to view a poition of the corpse, or, more properly speaking, sl.e!elo:i, arrayed in the worm eaten fragments of a white shroud. Its grinning tkull and bones, dimly seen through the intense gloom, filled me with horror, and a shudder ran through my frame as I gazed on the terrible spectacle. Fasting on, I commenced in terrible earnefct my search for the body of my lost darling. Coffin after coffin 1 searched and rummaged, glancing at the name engraved on tfie pia'c. In some I found nothing but a mass cf dry, mouldering bones, in others grinning skeletons met my gaze, with their ghastly white boac3, from which all vestige of garments per taining to the grave had long since rotted aad bocn reduced to dust. From tier to tier I wand ed in my fearful search, and as I was endeavoring to dumber over a coffin that was in my path, it fell from its resting place carry ing me. with it. The lid flew olF, and its occupant, as though incensed nt the sacrilege I was commilt'mg, rolled over on me, rattling its bone3 a.fcl crumbling to dust, as we lay together oo the floor. My nerves were considerably shaken, and many a fearful glance I cast around as I create 1 my throat from the stilling dust by which I was covered.. At lunt 1 reached tbe end of tbe vnult, and in the corners wcro piled a large heap of bone3 of all kinds and descriptions. A large, black looking mass on one sida attracted my attention, and making a noise, it commenoad to move slowly, arid us it uncoiled itself, a huge black snake was disclosed to my view. With a horn rille biss, it glidjd beneath a portion of the heap, and with half closed eyes I hurriedly retraced my steps. I was satisfied that the coffin I was in search of was not in that portion of tbe vault, and as I reached the Mairs which led to the upper regions, I sat down and strove to collect my scattered sense?, as well as to breathe a mouthful of fresh air. At last, feeling somewhat refreshed, I again started up and recommenced ray search in the opposite direction. I had not overhauled a great many, before my attention was attracted by a coffin that gleamed and shone in the dim rays of my lantern, and from ita appear and I judged it to bo new. I approached it, and kneeling by its side, threw the light of my lantern on the broad silver plate, and without difficulty, I read the inscription and name of Mary Howard. My search was over ; the object of my love and solicitude wa3 before me, and with feverish haste I proceeded to open the coffin. My blows were well directed, and they echoed through the house of the dead with a dull, rambling sound. I worked in haste and with terrible earnestness, and I at last succeeded in inserting my chisel using it a3 a lever, aud with a crash I tore the lid from its remaining fastening, and the form of my idol, my dearly be loved Mary, lay before mo, and cxactjy as I had seen her in my dream. Her face, pale and calm, was still in death, the long black tresses which had been my boast and pride, were arranged so as to lay on her fair young breast. She was urrayed in a pure white robe, which gleamed ghastly white in the rays of light. Wreathing my arms around her, I gently raised her from the coffia,-Hnd pressed my lips on hercold brow, while the blinding tears filled my eyes. At the same instant, with 'a terrible sound, I heard something fall, the con cussion of which resounded through the vault with a noise like thunder. In ter ror I started to my feet, and snatching my lantern, rushed to the stairs. My worst fears ware realized, the trap door had fall en, and I was a prisoner in that horrible tomb. Like a flash of lightning, tbe accumu lated terror and danger of my position swept through my brain, and nearly fren zied with fright, I rushed up the stairs and exerted myself like a madman to raise the slab. My efforts were futile, and I turned in despair to 6it dovVn and reflect what was best to br done, when my foot struck the lantern, and it fell on the stone flisor below, breaking it in a thousand pieces. In an instant I was plunged in Cim merian darkness, enclosed, walled up, iu that living tomb, surrounded by the dead. My brain was whiiling, and in an agony of terror, I shouted .aloud for help, but frightened at the sound of my own voice, I paused, and listened with straining ears. Alas ! not a sound could I hear all was still silent as the grave itself I at hrst thought if I could find my hummer and chisel, they might be of some servife to me ; at all events it would do no barm to try. And again descending into the tomb, I began to grope my way toward the place where I had left the body of Mary, stopping every few minutes to listen, holding my very breath. Suddenly I heard, or fancied I did, the sound of long and suppressed breathing. I listened intently, my ryes dilating, and vainly endeavoring to peer through the awful gloom. Again I heard it, and this time more distinctly, accompanied by the rustle of cloth, and an irresolute, tremb ling footstep. I was approaching from the direction in which I bad desired lo go. In. vain I tried to cheat and deceive myself into the delu.-iun that it wa3 nothing but my im agination, that my fears and the shock I had received were deluding me ; my ears could not be deceived, and I remained rooted to the spot, incapable of moving an inch from where I was standing. I could hear the low, faint gasps, and fancied I could see some terrible form or denizen of the grave standing before me, and I exerted myself to the utnrnst to move out of ils way, but my limbs refused th-'ir office. A cold perspiration was run ning off me in streams ; my hair bristled with terror, and my tongue clove to the roof of ray mouth. The invisible object moved steadily on ; I felt its breath on my cheek, and a cold, damp hand grasped mine, which sent a shiver cold as death to my heart. Tn a low, thrilling whisper, I heard ray name bicathed. 'Willie, s-p c-a-k t-o m e." As if the whisper had broken some invisible spell, an unseen power which had bound me with fetters of steel, I released myself from its trrible grasp, and with a yell of terror, fled, I knew not whither. It remember of receiving a terrible shock, of falling heavily to the ground, and for hours I must have lain unconscious. I was finally aroused by a light flash ing in my face, and I saw that I was sur rounded by friends. Again I fainted and when next I opened my eyes and gazed about me, I was lying in a bed that looked strangely familar, us well as the surround ing objects ; and 1 at last recognized it as the room of my young and boyish days. At my bedside was my mother, and be hind her, what did I see ? Could I be lieve my owa eyes? Was it a delusion ? No, it was the form of Mary Howard, alive and well. I was soon strong enough to hear the concluding portion of my adventure. The old sexton was the first who raised the alarm. After waiting hours he became alarmed, and raised the neighborhood, and in a bod' they proceeded to the chapel, forced open the door, entered, but could discover no trace of me. It was finally suggested to search the vault, and they discovered me lying in sensible on the floor, my head cut severely from a blow I received from the projecting edge of a coffin, and a few paces from me lay Mary Howard, likewise insensible, but breathing faintly. Aid was at once summoned, and we were carried lo the open air. Mary recovered rapidly, but I had an attack of the brain fever, and my life was despaired of. I lived, however. Mary told me that she was conscious all the while she lay in her coffin, and during the ceremony ; that she knew when she was placed in the vault, and vainly tried to burst the bonds by which she was enthralled. She heard mo forcing the lid, and when the trap door fell, and I drop ped her body, the spell was broken. Iy a terrible effort she rose from her coffin, and endeavored to make herself known, nearly killing me from fright in the effort. I was the means of saving my darling from a terrible death, and now, in our happy home, surrounded by every comfort and luxury, we look back with gratitude and satisfaction to our. night in the sepulchre. To Marry or Xot to Marry I TUB QUESTION IILMOKOCSI.Y COXSIDEKED. "Cornelius O'Dowd," in the last num ber of Blackwood, discusses the question of marriage in a pleasant way. We cull a few passages : Is life really life if one must pass it on the tight-rope ? Is existence worth hav ing, where it is eternally a question of balancing swaying to this side, and bending to that ? Is it proven that all people have a vo cation for marriage, and is conjugalism per se certain to requite those who, to at tain it, must divide between two what they bad already barely sufficient fir one? These are the simple questions which we have no need of a philosopher to ask or answer fur us. If one were simply to pronounce from what appears on the sur face of life and it is cry hard to go deeper we should say that the single people, especially the men, have the best of it. They are more in rcqucBt among their friends, available for more attentions, and keep longer young than thuir married brethren. The double-barreled egotism of mar riage spoils many a good fellow, and de stroys fhe charm of many a delightful woman. Tbe firm, that terrible partner ship, crops up at every moment, and routs that glorious spontaneity, that deli cious irresponsibility, we once remembered. I have no patience with those people who want to marrj' on what it is a puzzle to them to live singly upon. They must be moral, forsooth ! at tbe cost of reduc ing some unhappy girl to drudgery, on the false pretence for it is false of lov ing her. "Why can't they let it alone ?" as the great master of common sense said of a less eventful contingency. I have met more pleasant and com panionable people among (he single than the married ; but (here is a canting notion abroad that marriage is a sort of backbone for good behavior, and so the curate must be married, and the doctor ought to be married. I don't know how far the theory goes, or whether a lady's shoemaker should have a wife, but Tin sure her coifFeur ought. But it is a niislake to suppose that marriage is a necessity, except to a (hree volume novel. I am certain that a very, large number of people are not made for that species of companionship. Mind, I am not enamored of Mormonism or Spiritual-wifery, nor have I the slightest sympathy with Agapemoncs. What I desire to insist on is, that our present-day civilization inculcates conjugalism too in discriminately, and takes most unjustifi able means to support its position One of these, and the least commendable of all, is to disparage those who are . called old maid I have seen many a timid rider in a hunting field jeered into riding at a fence that cost him a "cropper;" and I am convinced that many women are driven into marriage to escape the obloquy and sarcasm of belonging to the maligned category. It is no exaggeration to say "malign ed." I would ask any one who has seen much of life who has, so to say, been a man of the world, watching its ways and studying its doings I would ask of him has he ever met in any section of human ity greater kindliness, gentleness and pa tience than amongst these same old maids? Where has he found more hearty, genial, generous natures ? whero sound views of life disfigured by fewer prejudices ? where more thorough chanty in discussing the motives ? where, in one word, less of 'hose very attributes by which it has pleased the world to characterize this class ? It is no part of my task to call witnesses to what I say ; but one I will cite, because she eminently represented all that I have so feebly attempted to picture ; and if her genius might seeiu to outshine tbe lustre of her pcrsoi.nl qualities, it is only to thote who had not the h ippiness and it was a happiness of her iutimacy. I am talking of Mis Edgewortb, and it is well worth all the weight of the years it obliges to have met and known her. I will not affirm that marriage cou'd have spoiled such a nature, but I will say it could not have bettered it ! Nor is it a small part of the matter that at eighty she was the guiding spirit, the delight and the charm of that family which derived glory from her name and happiness from her presence. Is it to a class which numbers Miss Edgeworth and Miss Nightingale among its members women need shame to belong? I have done. I will only add that, in stead of honping ridicule on the condition of unmarried women, and, out of sheer derision, driving them to accept anybody anything a3 husbands, let us accord them all the deference and regard we be stow on others ; and let us not forget, in the presence of some "old maid" whose qualities of mind and nature have charm ed us, and whose traces of beauty are not few nor faint, that if we do deem matri mony the great prize in life, il is a living shame to our sex that such a woman should be single. . - If 1 have wandered from my text of "Marriages on Starvation Allowance," it is simply because I have not that over weening impression of conjugalism that I would recommend any one to face beg gary lo attain it, any more that I would advise a man to lay out his last shilling to buy a ticket in the lottery. Brig. General Wellington H. Ent, DEMOCRATIC CANMDATE FOH SCRVEYOH GEN ERAL, cF I'KNNSYLVASIA. It has been so much the habit of Radical orators and newspapers to make charges of disloyalty and other heinous bins against j their political opponents, that wc have been j induced to publish from the work c tiled the "History of the Pennsylvania Reserves," ! entten un tit tl cf Gov. Curtin and other nvf Moil" people, a brief extract. If there is any more fauhful and patriotic citizco, or one deserving more heartily an endorsement at tbe hands of the people than our candidate, we are f e to s.j' that we have not found him. Gen. Ent was wounded at B. thesda Church, and appointed a origanier oenerai by brevet for meritorious and distingui.-bed services en the br.! tit hold. He holds no honors from the safe place in tbe quartermaster or pay departments. The regiment was honorab'y mustered out of service with its distinguished officers, in June. 1864. Wellington II. Ent. Colore! of the Sixth, was born on the 18th cf August. 1834, in Columbia county, Pennsylvania. After re ceiving a primary education, ha entered Dickinson Seminary at Wil'damsport, iu August, 1855, aud graduated from that in stitution in June, 1858. Soon af:or his grad uation he became a student at law in the office of Robert F. CUik. Esq. at Blooms burg. He prosecuted bis profe.'sicnal studies with great zeal ; entered the law department of tbe University of A.b.u3', in September, 1859, graduated in the summer of 1860 and in the same year commenced tho practice of his profession iu his u:it:vo county. H was appointed Inspector General, with the rank of Litutenmt Colonel, on the piaff of Major General Dana, commanding Ninth Divi.-iou Pennsylvania Miiitia. Immediately after hearing that I ha rebels had attacked Fort Sumter, he lepurted to General Dana for duty, and on the ICth of April was di reoted to raise two companies of infantry io Columbia county. Tfe companies were speedily organized, and report d for s?rvi:e, but owing to the great rush of volunteers at that time, but one of them was accepted. After securing the command of this company f-r his friend. Dr. W. W. Rickets, C-l. Ent accepted the First Lieutenancy for himself. This company, called 'The Iron Guards," wa? uniformed at theesper.se of the citizens, and was kept at Bloomsburg under daily drill, until it was accepted into the service and ordired to Ilarrisburg. Upon tbe or ganization of the Sixth Reserve R.gimcnt, it became company A : Captain Ilicketts wes elected Colonel of the Regiment, and Lieut. Ent was promoted to fill the vacancy, and was commissioned to rank as captaiD from the 28th of Apiil. 18G1. Soon after the regiment arrived at Wash ington, in July, 18G1, Captain Ent was de tailed in command of rl an! guard ta Major Myers, Chief Signal Officer of the United States, and made a tour up the Poto nnc from Washington to the headquarters of General Banks, near Frederick. Oa t is re turn he was detailed, at the request of II 3 j r Myers, on duty with the sbual crps. and assisted the Major to eslablhh the .signal camp of instruction at Georgetown. Subse quently he was placed in command of thi camp, which became cne of the permanent6 institutions of the army. Weneral MoCall, however, was unwilling to part with an officer of so much promise, without a strong effort to retain him in the Reserve Corps. The General's repeated applications finally succeeded, and Captain Ent was ordered to return to his regiment. The progress he had made iu acquiring a knowledge of the duties in the signal service had secured for him the command of the signal party which accom panied Sherman's expedition to Port RovaI ; he therefore reluctantly obeyed tbe order that remanded bim to the command x( his company, and forced him to relinquish a fitdd in which ho had already won tho con fidence ol his superior officers. Captain Ent resumed his duties with his company a few days before the division was moved across the Potomac ; was detailed on the staff of Colonel MeCalmont, commanding the Third brigade, but General McCall again ordered bim to his regiment, which was greatly in need of his presence, many of the officers being absent sick. Tho battle of Drainesviilefoccurre I shortly after bis return, in which Capt. Ent parti cipated with distinction. He remained with his regiment iu the regular routine of his duties, until August 7th, 18C2, when he was detailed on recruiting dut3' by General Sey mour, then commanding the division, with the hope, also, that his health, which bed been greatly impaired, might be restored. He proceeded to Ilarrisburg just before the army was ordered to evacuate Harrison's Landing. lie remained there ou dutv until Pope's army was being driven from Bull Run to Washington. Hearing of this disaster, he determined to rejoin his old comrades at once, and participate in their glory and their suffering. Knowing the delay aud difficulty attending a regular application, be sought and obtained the charge of some recruits to be sent to Alexandria, whom he hurried to their destination and turned them over to the officer in charge of Camp Distribution, and then proceeded to the frout. Capt. Ent west to General Seymour and stated his de sire to go on active duty with bis regiment, and with the assent of his commander joined bis old command just after it had passed through Washington to enter upon the Ma ryland campaign. At the battle of South Mountain he was placed in command of two compauies, with orders to charge against the enemy holding the summit on the extreme right of the lin! Whilst those two companies were rapidly as possible toiliug up the mountaiu side under "a most terrific fire, three other companies were ordered to join them. With these five companies Capt. Ent completed the charge, routed the enemy in hu frout, ud, with the First regiment on his left, rose to the sum mit, and opened a withering fire on the ene my's flank, which had the effect of assisting very materially in breaking the left flank of the rebel army. In this charge he lost one third of his command, and received a slight bruise from a ball which had glanced from a rock. i At tbe battle of Antietara he fully main tained his reputation for skill aud bravery, aud was in a few day thercuRcr ptoniotcd to tbe majority of his reimi nti Late in November, 1862, rber: c'air was assigned to tbe commend gadc, tho Lieutenant Colonel er unfit for ditty, Mrjr Eut a.s""iei". i mand of the. regiment, and on v$ . 1S63, he was c:tL.aiissioi:ed ...'nt'i onei, to rank from the 26tb ' r X 18C2.

"See here," said the Cincinr.atian, "do you expect rae to stay in this r lace a!' night?" The chrk assured him thai, ia cor.S2 quence of the crowded condition of the hotel, no better accommodation cou'd be afforded him, although it would be a great plcui-uie on his part to give him the bat room ia the housa. "And," added t're clerk, by way of a clinching argument, "Gen. Grant slept in this room oi.ee wh?a he vi?ited the city.'

Cincin nati JZnqaircr, WlTO ARE THE FlttCXrsOF Ti!S UmON'7 It seems that General Uosecrans, ,cOid Kosie," who got hurt some at ChickFmau ga, went on a "mission" lately to itireti g tie t le Southern Genera's and to ee-- foi himself if these Genmds were to be trust ed and were truly in favor of the Union ! Well, he was satisfied, it sems, with h? joyalty of the Generals in question, nod has reported to that effect. That bci" j disposed of satisfactorily, we now propoa that Admiral Semniop, or some other sound cousfuutiooHl General of the fiouih, undertake tlftj mission of invcstigatim Gran, Sherman, Butler, Logan, and other Generals of th North, and find out fi they are to be trusted on this vital ques tion of the Union. Meanwhile, we de clare, and we are prepared to prove, that from General Lee to the most cbscure General in the South, save Longstreet pei hap, there is not one that is not in favor of tlee Union, first, last and all tho time, as the one vital want, wish and object of their prayers and hopes every day and hour of their lives. And we declare just as positively, and are prepared to demon strate to the simplest comprehension, that from Grant down to Logan and Sickles, there is not a solitary General in the North now supporting Congress that is not in direct and deadly hostility to the Union, and working with all their might to utter ly destroy it forever. True, they profess to be in favor of a "Union as it ought to be" the absard and impossible Union of Garrison nnd John Brown a Union with negroes, where States no longer exist ; but the Union the Union of the Constitution the Union we all lived under and were so proud of, and that half a niUlicu mea believed they gave their Uvea for for this Union Grant and all his Generals are committed against, and say it shall not be restored. We repeat, let General flemmes como North and investigate the matter, and wi pledge our head that he will And Grant and his Generals utterly disloyal, and not to be' trusted for a moment on this vital subject of Vie Union -Day Hook. The Kadical party 13 revolutionary, because it has dared, in violation of the Constitution of the United States, to ex clude three States from the Union, and to deny to the people of thoae States all participation in the election of President, governing tham by the bayonets of Feder al soldiers, after having destroyed all civil government among them. ..Last year two Germans purchased eighty acres of land in southern Tennessee. This season they gathered strawberries enough from four acres of it to pay for the whole tract. 1 1
