On handsome lawn fronting an old ivy-grown mtttituou in tho State of Vir ginia. one pleasant iflemooa, tug many years ago, a group of young people of both sexes were gathered. Standing in their midst was au old woman, bent •down with age, looking as if she stood on the brink of the grave; but her dark, restless eyes showed that there was vig orous life iu her mind, if not in her body. Sin- had twvn "telling fortunes" for the young people gathervsl around her, and to all but one she had foretold a bright and happy future. The excep tion of this rule of blessedness through life was a handsome l*y of nineteen, with a iLirk, p:issionate fo*>-, au.l an ex {>rew*ion which indicated perfect fear essness. Five years liefore the opening of this story an old gentleman and his nephew had* moved to Virginia, and baying a farm, had made it their home. Mr. Mcrcvr and his nephew, Frank, wen* treated with kindness by the gentlemen of the neighborhood, and they received invitations to visit the plantations near them. Frank soon became acquainted with all in the country; but his uucle never left his farm, and seemed to shun society. For this, rnanv reasons were given; but the true one was that he had lost his whole family, aud Frank's parents hav iug left him to Mr. Mercer s charge he determined to devote himself to the boy, and found sufficient enjoyment in his company, and iu cultivating his farm. Tnongh reported very wealthy, and that he always kept a large sum of gold iu the house, Mr. Mercer and Frank lived in a quiet way, and made 110 display. Thus passed Frink's early youth from his fourteenth until his nineteenth year, when our story opens. A man of su perior education, Mr. Mercer bail been his nephew's teacher, and hail imparted o liir.i much knowledge of the world, of letters, and people, so that Frank, at nincUs li, was as well informed as if he hail possessed a cultivated education. There were those in the neighborhood who reported that the boy was wild and dissipated, and this found ready believ era in others; so that Frank had some enemies as well as many friends. Thns we find him; and the evening of the commencement of our story he liad been invited to an entertainment given by a wealthy planter to his children. Mr. Dewos, the planter, had three children, tlnxyoungflf-! Nad loveliest of whom was M iry, a girt of twelve. Mary ami Frank w rc the best of friends, and loved each oilier dearly; so when the fortune teller predicted a dark and stormy future for Frank, the tears arose to the child's eyes, and she said ; " Do not listen to her, Frank." But the boy laughed, and, turning on his heel, walked away. Two days afterward, lie left homo for a week's hunting in th** mountains; but the second night after his departure, the neighborhood was aroused by the startling news that old Mr. Mercer had been murdered by his nephew. One of the servants, passing tho bouse at night, heard a cry, and, seeing Frank's win dow open, ho sprang in and walked across the hall to Mr. Mercer's cham ber, from whence the cry came. Lying upon the floor was the old man, dead, while near him stood hit nephew with a bloody knife in his hand. In fright, the negro rushed from the house and gave the alarm. Persons from the neighbor hood wre sent for, aud Frank was seized against every protestation that ho did not kill his uncle, an l thrown into gaol. The feeling against the youth was in tense, for the negro told the story of how he had found Frank; and a way faring peddler, who had just ascended the front step 3 to ask to stay all night, corroborated his statement. The trial came olf, and the charges were made known. Frank was accused of starting upon a hunting expedition as a blind, ami th n returning from the mountains by night, hid entered the room, and attempting to remove a large of gold kept by his uncle, lunl aroused him, and. upon being discovered, had driven hiH hunting knife into the heart of Mr. Mercer; the gold was on the floor, its weight having torn through the bag when it was raised. The knife with which Mr. Mercer was killed was one he had given to Frank some days before, and was a large dirk knife incased in a silver scabbard. Pale as death, but showing no sign of fear or guilt upon his handsome face, the prisoner sat unmoved by his sen tence, which was to die on the gallows. When asked if he had aught to say, Frank arose, and looking around the oonrt room, and in a clear voice, an swered : "I have! Circumstantial evidence has condemned me ! I admit it looks as if I did the deed, but I am guiltless of murder! Dropping my percussion cap box in a mountain stream, I return ed home for more; for without caps my gun mis useless. It was a lovely night, and I determined to enter the house by my room window, get caps, and retnrn without awakening my uncle. I tied my horse to the fence, sprang into the win der**, and then hoard a loud crash, a call, and a shriek in the direction of my uncle's room. I rushed thither—a dark form dashed by me in the uncertain light of the room—and I fell over something upon tho floor. With fear in my heart, I arose, lighted a candle, and saw uiy uncle's body covered with blood, gold scattered upon the floor, and my own knife, which haddonethe deed, lying near. I picked up the knife; and thus was I found by the negro, and seen by the peddler. As God is my witness, I did not murder the good old man who has proteeted mo throughout life, and whom I loved as though he was my own father! lam guiltless of the deed, but submit to my fate." A silence fell upon all ; there were, however, but few who believed tha youth's statement; among the latter was Mr. Dewes and his family, who, through all, remaiued stanch friends. Frank Mercer was to be liung, to die an ignominious death on the gallows, and huiulreds flockvd to the little town where the execution was to take place, to see him die. How were they disap pointed to find that the night before he had escaped ! How, no one knew, but FIIED.KURTZ, Kditor ami 1 Vopriotor. VOL.

Ten years (tasse.l away, and no word of the fugitive had been heard, and peo ple lielieved him dead. One exception was Marv IK-wes, now grown t* woman hood. fell* had never believed him dead, aud through her life had treas ured Frank's image iu her inmost heart, the mystery that hung around hitu but a.Ming strength to her regard. Her sis ters had married, her mother was dead, and together with her father, tie y lived at the old homestead. Husineas calliug Mr. IV wen to Havana, he took Mary with him, and they set sail from Charleston in a fine ship run ning South. They hail la-en som<- davs at sen, when iu the dea l of night the fearful crv of "Fire!" aroused all from slumber. The shijt was on tire, and in vaiu wen- efforts made to quench the dames. The acumen in fright rushed into the only available boat ; and it sank with them, and left them strug gling iu the ocean, borne away by the wind and waves, while Mr. Dowt a and Mary, the captain of the ship and a few others, were huddled away upon the stern, awaiting the doom that must over take them. "Sail ho!" Tho joyous cry came from the captain, who hadl wen straining his eye* over the ocean, iu hopes of seeing some vessel coming to save them. Swiftiv dying to wards them came a low, rakish, three masted schooner, which ever anil anon sent up a light, to prove to thowe on board the b'lruiag ship that succor was near. Hark! tlie deep boom of a gun is heard, and as the captain listens he exclaims ; " Miss Dewea, vre are all right now ; cheer up, fur there c -mesa vessel of-war to our #iiL" "Ship ahoy!" came in ringing tone* from the schooner, as she came near the burning ship, which was being driven rapidly along by the wind. " Anoy!" answered the captain. " Throw a long line from your ship, and I will scud yon a boat," came iu the same clear tones. The line was thrown, the boat at tached, and, after a little difficulty, the people from the ship were transferred to the schooner ; and Mary was soon in the comfortable cabin, rejoicing over their escape from a horrible death. At breakfast the next ruoruilig, the young captain of the war schooner de scended to join his gin ts.it the tab!--, and, aa he entered, Mary sprung towards him.

He knew I yonr uncle kept a large amonut of money, and you being away, as he thought, he took your knife anil committed the fatal : deeti." Frank listened to Mr. Dewes almost breathhsw, and tle-n. Inuring his face iu his hands, he wept like a child. " But come in," said Dewes, at length ; "we are hungry and need breakfast; and ar* dying to know how you became a captain in the Mexican navy." "My story is easily told, my dear friends; for, aft**r escaping from prison through your kindness, I weutto Mexico, entered the liavy, and. having rendered some service, rose to my present com mand, which has been the means of saving your lives." Little more cm lie added. Frank resigned his commission and returned home; when he wai lionized by the whole community. He came iu posses sion of Ills estates, which were greatly increased in value; ami, six months afterwards, in the very town where he was to have bad the hangmen's lialter placed around hi* neck for death, he had the noose of matrimony thrown nronud him for life, aud the "bride was Mary Dewea. Thus his life had been both dark and bright. An Incident. A Washington correspondent tells a very good story in connection with the dog-catching ordinance now in vogue in large cities. It appear* Hint Mr. Sharp, of Washington, a friend of President Grant, is the possessor of a fine dog, which he keeps inside his grounds, now the dog law is in force. But as that gentleman sat at a window a short time since, he saw two of the oflicial dog catcher* enticing his canine into the street, which they had no sooner done than they seized him, and attempted to throw him into their cart, tho dog re sistiug violently. Mr. Hliarp went to the rescue of his favorite, and remon strated with the catchers, but ineffectu ally. A short, squarely-built man who had accompanied Mr. Sharp, also joined in the protest, when ho was told by the burly" catcher to " mind his own busi ness," accompanying the remark by still more expressive actions, and a brisk push on the shoulder. Instantly tho short man struck out a forcible blow from the left shoulder, and the boor went clown like u log. But ho was up as quickly, and was about to take the offen sive, when Mr. Sharp put himself in the way, aud said hastily ; "Stand off, you fool; this is the President of the United States V And so it was. Can Have Them. Does any one desire to have swarms of mosquitoes about his house in the course of a few weeks l Well, nothing is easier than to cultivate them—a little pool of stagnant water on the premises is all that is necessary. If you haven't a pool near by, a hogshead, barrel or tub filled with rain-water and allowed to stand in the yard a few weeks will answer the purjxise. About four weeks are re quired to make a first-class mosquito, that is, to develop it from the egg into a buzzer and Inter. An examination of the surface of stagnant wafer with keen eyes, or, better still, with a microscope, will reveal the source of these destroyers of our summer peace.

Then a change of wiud drove them far out over the lake. Mr. Piri%oontinttm: * As the evening wore into night a he.ivy mist rose to the west, or in rear of the balloon. It seeuied to follow close be hind, but did not overtake it. the air being quite clear in front. At a later pcriltd in the night, when two of the re{H>rters went almost to ale. p, having been aiugiug and endeavoring to pass the ( time as pleasantly as possible under the ( circumstances, Mr. Devine, who was 011 the lookout, suddenly called uttnitiou to a magnificent burst of light which illu- ; miuated the whole sky. He fancieo for , a moment tliat the balloon wet on fire, ( but tills delusion wasquickly dissipated, ( and the cause at the light was discovered , to lie a most brilliant meteor. which ap- , pearcd almost directly overhead, lasting , for an instant, and then suddenly dart ing otf in an easterly direction, changed its course, and gradually faded away. The spectacle was a singularly iiuprea- , Hive one, and w ill never lx- forgotten by ( those who saw it. After passing Port Hope, the move- ( meiits of the liallooti liecame very erra tic, the wiml blowing from all point* of the compass. After drifting about for some time in this purposeless maimer, ( the balloon dexoended to within twenty feet of the waves, which were rolling ( Imavily, the great <lmg rope trailing in the lake. As this weight of rope was in terfuring with the motion of the balloon, the prole -sor's orders w. re that it should la- taken into tk<- onr.

It imvuig been coiled in the car after very heavy labor, it was found that the weight on the car was more tiian the bottom could bear, ami it was again gradually let out to the extent of fiity feet. The balloon sud denly dipped into the water and rose again, and again dippe d. This was, to say the least of it, unpleasant, and 1 ' ballast having !mh*u ;s 11 disposed of, thv profew.r orileml the anchor and tin drag lino to IK* thrown overlward, aud tlias lightened, the balloon sprang up ward, tod tho moon rising, illuminated tho wh* lo extent of tho lake.

Nat nratiy, they replied "up in a Iwlloou," which h-vl such a humorous sound that th an- 011 liard the s-hooner uttered some ejaculations of displeasure, and immediately tacked away. This was lik.< the la>t hope disappearing, and a feeling of dr> a i apprehension fell upon the p;u - ty. All hope was not, however, almn ilonod, as it Wi felt that another vessel might ootne in sight, or the wind drive the ball on ashore. At ulmut one o"el<K*k tho car again dipped in the water, and dragged at n fearfully rapid rate through tin- lake. This necessitated the parties on board dinging t"th" rop=*aia>d Uud ing on the edge of the basket.

No Fear of Death In the Djiug. A striking fact jn connection with the dying isthat they are not afraid of death. don notice this oven in executions. The majority of men who are hanged are re ported to die "game." Death following disease or injury is, with the rarest ex ceptioiis,unaccompanied with fear. Dis ease dulls the intelligence so tlwt the situation mny not lie fully comprehended; or there may be pain, and death is looked upon as a relief. Nature, by a kindly provision, seems to prepare for the flight of the spirit ; as the hold upon life grow* weaker, so does the desire for life grow less; and in scarcely a single instance has not the dying man re liuqnishod life at the last without seem ing reluctance or fear. The several physical phenomena which, accompanying the act of dying, vary considerably in the earlier stages witli the causes which produoo d<*ntb, there is mncli similarity in the latter step*. Death offers then a physiognomy, which, onoe witnessed, is not hard to recognize again. Among the more constant signs arc* tho failing pulse, wl.ich gradually lieeomes imperceptible, first at the wrist aud lastly at the breast itself ; the extremities grow cold; the countenance changes as the venous blood courses tho arteries; the Hkin grows clammy and the v*ssc-ls relax ; tiie eye glazes; the* jaw droops ; the fluids accumulate iu'tho windpipe, cnus ing the "death rattle," so Called, the breath comes short and Finally ceases. AH the reil blood leaves the brain tlr judgment becomoH objured, and the senses deficient. Speech in incoherent. Many times '' last words " are imagined by affection to mean more tlian intended, if there was any intention at all. "It grows dark," or "more light," are com mon Rayings as the optic nerve loses its stimulus. Or strange sights may be seen and sounds heard, as occur some times in the still twilight. The hallu cinations of the dying may be often ex plained upon natural causes. The Philadelphia Ledger drops a sympathizing tear over the recital of a touching scene in Mexico, where the re ' mains of a matron one hundred and thirty-two years old were attended to the grave by her orphan boys, aged respectively ninety and one hundred. 1 CENTRE IIA I.E. CENTRE CO., I'A., THURSDAY, Jl'I.Y 22, 1875. A Colorado Hold Mine. A JYibm e correspondent, writing from C-oiorndo, giviw the following sketch of a mine in tliat section: 1 went l.ftdO feet iu to a mine, following tin tunnel -traight in. It was cut through the solid rta-k without a disclosure of " pay " during the entire distauoe. It was eight feet high and seven or eiglit wide, aud seemed almost large enough for a railroad tunnel. A track was lard within it for the donkey oars to haul out tlie ore to the mouth of the drift. At the end of the tunuel the veins were found. They diverged iu different di rections. Even underneath tlie tunnel a aewer or isuial hail l>eeu built to carry awrav the large streams of water found in the mines, and I saw what 1 luul not thought of before—that the ore hail been , taken out scores and scores of feet lie low the level of the tunnel, and that the i roof of one corridor, formed of timbers and covered witli earth, mode the ffoor of the corridor or hall alano.

A dull, dim, exasperating light surrouuds you, aud if, In the muvrtainty of your vision, you stumble against a car, or a pickaxe, or step iuto a bucket of water, you are laughed at by a d-<£cn owl-eyed miners, whose sight, by long training, has overcome tlie darknesa. 'Hie superintendent ask-sl me if I would like to go down into tin- shaft a few hundred feet. 1 asked h<*w I was to get down tliat distance. " Yon cap get into tliat tub," said he, "and we will lower you with a nq*< around a drum " " You are very kind," I answered, " bnt I think I will <h-fer it." "Or," said he, continuing, "you cuu go down that Lnlder uUmt eighteen fis-t, when you will find a lauding; then jon can take an oilier latldcr ami go on uu til von reach the bottuia." As the ladder was aluio*! j*-rj*-ndicu lur, and only the top round cookl la* scu-u in the dim light, I again ikclim-d the i*lite invitation.

Some time ago a beautiful and intelli gent young lady of Richmond, Virgiuia, informed her intimate friends that she was engaged to be married te Mr. A. The night was fixed for the wedding,and a number of cards of invitation were sent out. The guests assembled, but no bridegroom appearing at a late hour ttaev withdrew, full of sorrowful sym pathy for the lady, and fierce indigna tion against the man who had so over whelmed her with mortifieatiou and dis appointment. On the next day the lady was a raving ntuuiac. The gentleman in the ease, however, asserts that lie was not engaged to the young lady, and had 110 idea of it, nor did lie know anything abont the wedding that was appointed for hint. He doubtless tells tins truth, and the arrangements for the wedding on the part of the unfortunate young lady were but the premonitory symp toms of the insanity afterward folly, developed.
