THE GIPSY'S WARNING
Do not trust him, gentle lady,
Though his voice ho low and sweet ;
Heed not him who kneels before you,
Gently pleading at your feet;
Now thy life is in its morning,
Cloud not this, thy happy lbt,
Listen to the Gipsy's warning,
Gentle lady, trust him nut.
Do not turn so coldly from mo,
I would only shield thy youth
From his stern_ond withe:;ag_po,-
I would only tell the truth ;
I would shield thee from all danger,
Save thee From the tempter's snare;
Lady, shun the dark eyed stranger,
I have warned you, now beware.
Lady, once there lived a maiden, •
Pure and-bright, and like thee fair,
But he wooed; he wooed and won her,
Filled her gentle heart with care;
Then he heeded not her pleading,
Nor cared he her life to save;
Soon she perished—now she's sleeping
In the cold and eilent grave.
Xecp tiny gold, I do sad wiels
Lady, I have prayed for this,
For the hour when I might foil him—
Rob bins of expected bliss.
Gentle lady, do not wonder
At my words, so cold and wild ;
Lady, in the green grave yonder
Lies the Gipsy's only child.
ALL FOR A WILL.
A LAWYER'S STORY
It was towards the elose of a March
day, a few years ago, as I sat in my
office musing over the different cases
spread out before me, when I was sud
denly startled to my feet by the en
trance of a man.
Not beeause a man is an uncommon
sight; but the appearance of this one
made me draw back with fear.
He was about three and thirty years
of age, with a long, narrow face, small
projecting eyes, large mouth, and nose
rather long and inclined to droop. at
the end: His Thee was as smooth as
an infant's, and the few mixed lochs
were brushed behind his ears, giving
him a look of the mildest character.
In size he was of the medium height,
legs not the straightest to be sure, yet
they matched well with the lean, bow
ed arms, which hung awkwardly by
his side.
After this personage had entered he
closed the door noiselessly behind him,
took off , his at and , placcd; it carefully
on the table. Then, turning and scan
ning the room for a moment, he ad
vanced toward me.
"Your name is —, is it not,
sir ?" said the stranger; and without
waiting a reply extended his hand.
"The same, sir," I replied, and un.
ceremoniously put forward my hand,
which was seized with a tight grip,
then loosened, and the stranger sat
himself down in front of me.
"Well, as you aro the gentleman I
desire to see, I trust that you aro at
leisnre to hear my errand to you ?"
I nodded my head for him to 'pro
ceed, for I could not speak. My tongue
seemed lifeless within my mouth, a nd
every moment the cold sweat oozed
out of every pore till I feared I would
fall out of the chair I satupon. Under
standing my sign, he proceeded as fel•
lows:
"My name is Walker—Albert, if you
please to have it—and for some 3-ears
I lived out West. But things of late
not going on the smoothest in that di
rection, I went down to mother's. I
found the old lady very sick, and as
there is no chance of her getting bet
ter, she wished me to call (having bean
recommended) and ask you to come
up and see how she wished to dispose
(Aber estate."
"She wishes a will," I managed to
Mg
"Yes—exactly, Come at once; a
carriage is waiting at the door which
will soon take us to-our destination."
I had some misgivings at first about
trusting myself with a stranger in such
a manner; but considering that I had
nothing to detain mo at my office, I.
yielded and soon seated myself in the
carriage with the stranger beside me.-
I had omitted to ask whore his mother
resided, and this accompanied with the
thought "I may be with a madman,"
who are so insidious in their doings,
awoke the most revolting imaginations
within me. My companion was loan
ing back against the seat, and from his
outward appearanco I concluded he
was courting sleep. I didn't then feel
at liberty to press my omitted ques
tion. Silently wo rode on, my com
panion in his old position,w bile I leaned
forward and endeavored to overcast
my fancies by admiring the pictu
resque scenery without.
It was just as the sun had sunk be
hind the Western horizon when wo
stopped in front of an old fashioned
cottage, partly hid by clustering vines
and standing back a little way from
the river bank. My companion was
aroused from his seeming stupor by
the halting of the carriagu, and when
the door was swung open by the coach
man he leaped lightly out, followed by
myself'. Up the stoop into the hall I
followed him, and here I discovered I
had forgot my papers. Without ex
pressing to those present my oversight,
descended the stops and leaned for
ward into the vehicle and recovered
my documents. In my endeavors to
bo speedy I dropped part of them on
the ground. I had just gathered them
and was about to rise, when a shadow
was thrown across my path. I turned
sli g htly, and in a sort of cage with
thick iron bars in front, I beheld t h e
torm of a woman. Calcthiog my eye
she, thrust her arm through the bars
and pressed into my hand a piece of
paper. I was about to give vent to, my
surprise, whey: seeing her fingers Press-

IN, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 29. 1867.
ed to her lips, I chocked myself, arose,
and strode into the house. It was ono
of those comfortable, old fashioned
houses where ranges, grates and dumb
Waiters aro held at a discount. A
bright fire burned briskly upon the
hearth. As I peeped through the crev•
ice of the door I could discern the fa.
voile black kettle swung above the
lively embers and humming its accus
tomed tune in the kitchen.
The hall ran through the middle of
the house, evidently made upon no
contracted principles,for it was exceed
ingly long and fully proportioned in
width. I was now sitting in the par
lor alone, for my companion had gone
above.
In about ten minutes my companion
came in and invited me to partake of
a cup of tea ere I commenced my du
ties. The offer being accepted, we ad
journed to the dining room, sat down
to the repast, and conversed upon vari
ous matters pleasantly. The note I
had received bad almost been forgot
ten, when I put my band into my
pocket and crushed it between my fin
gers. A dizziness came over me for a
moment, and I conversed beneath a
cloud of insensibility; for the haggard
forth of the woman seemed to stand
before me pointing her bony finger at
Walker. Ile perceived the change
and, in an under tone, inquired if I was
ill. "No, only excited and nervous ;it
will pass away soon," I replied. -
Another cup of tea was offered and
accepted, and when I had drained the
contents I turned •.to my companion,
-who, with his elbow upon the table,
was eyeing me sharply, and inquired
if that, pointing to the servant, was
the only domestic around the place.
"No sir," he replied,. casting his eyes
from me to the floor. "I have one
more; she is attending to the wants of
mother."
Mother I A hollow voice seemed to
echo through the silent hall, and fancy
sketched grinning Death recording
"She's mine."
Having finished, my companion led
the way up the winding stairs, and
opened a small door a few feet from
the landing. I had followed on tip
too, for be had whispered that his
mother was vory sensitive to the least
noise, and of courso I had no motive to
prompt me bat a desire to follow his
intimation.
In a few moments we had reached a
cecond door by means of a narrow pas
sage. When the door was opened I
found myself standing in a room, neat
ly but not extravagantly furnished.
year a large windoW stood a side
hoard profusely ornamented with nu
merous bottles, cups, glasses, decan
ters, and in fact all tho Auxiliaries per
taining to a sick room. A little fur
ther to the left was a large double bed
stead; and by the aid of the almost
exhausted candle, 1 could discern the
face of a woman.
My companion called her attention
to my presence, and when I had recog
nized the slight nod of her head, she
thanked one for my kindness in coming,
as she wished my services in executing
her will.
"I have a copy of the manner in
which I wish to dispose of my estate,
and I pray you," she added, "to follow
it exactly."
She then handed me a folded sheet of
paper, and I hastily glanced over the
con tents.
The whole estate, valued at many
thousand dollars, was to be divided
between her son Albert, and Alioo
Brower, her sister. Across the back
in a largo hand was the name "Mary
K. Walker."
I folded it up, and as I did so I as•
sured the woman of my, willingness to
follow her directions.
She turned a little in bed, and us she
did so I thought 1 saw massive black
hair beneath the white which was
combed carolully back from her fore
head.
I choked down the suspicions which
were alive within me, and bent my
car to the woman us she spoke.
"1 bad a daughter, sir, three weeks
ago, but she is no more—she is dead—
I'll be with you, child I I'll soon come.
Yes,"she added, "I'll be with you soon!"
My companion beckoned me; and ri•
sing from ray chair I bid her good
night and left the room.
We descended the stairs without ex
changing words, and walked into the
parlor. Here my companion pointed
to a seat, drew up another to me and
said :
"You see bow the case stands, Mr.
and it behooves you to apply
your attention to this matter at once.
To-morrow, I trust, you can draw up
the paper, and before I bid you good
bye, you will have the satisfitetion of"
—here ho paused, as t if be had uncon
sciously gone too far; but, quickly re
covering himself, he added—"of seeing
all done for the comfort of mother."
Without replying to his remarks I
carelessly asked,—
"Ah, you intend for me to remain
hero all night, then ?"
"Certainly. You could never think
of getting to the city before daylight,
and besides, there is no train mild to•
morrow."
Under the circumstances, I must
submit to his proposal, and being
weary I was , upon my request shown
to the room I was to occupy, situated
just above the apartment of the seem
ing invalid. •
I bade my companion good night,
closed the door, and then wheeled a
cushioned chair near the window and
sat down diffusing my thoughts
throughout the many channels of the
world's doings.
Thus I sat nodding at the even tick
of toy watch, or stretching myself to
aroiltie me from this inviting trance.
"Ali!' I exclamed, as the thought of
the singular woman in such a singu
lar place flashed across my mind ; and
I plunged my hand into my pochet, and
drew forth the document she had giv
en mu. Upon a coarse piece of paper,
in a cramped hand, were written a
few words, blotted as if the tears of
the writer. They read as follows :
"I am . a prisoner. For God's sake
rescue me—for the sake of my dead
mother."
There was no signature, and for a
moment a terrible thought arose in
my mind, and I was forced to rise to
shake off the spell that bound me—
walk, walk, until recollecting myself,
I paused at the window.
It was a beautiful night. The blue
canopy above Was studded with twink.
ling stars, and the moon was just rid
ing up the heavens in all her power
nod brightness. For a few moments
I contemplated the scenery without,
and then turned into the room.
The woman below haunted me. She
seemed to have written to me to re
lease her.
"I will ! I will !" I muttered, be•
tween my clenched teeth, as I pulled
off my boots, took them in my hand,
and swung the door open.
I listened—not a sound. Yes, feet
aro on the stairs, and a light reflects
the shadows of' two men upon the wall
beneath me. I stooped over the ban
nisters, and caught a fading glance of
Walker, ere the door was closed be
hind him. I paused upon the landing,
pondering whether to proceed or re
turn to'my room. A little hesitation,
and then determined upon the former.
With all the care I could command.
I began my descent. It was extreme
ly dark, and great judgment was re
quired to save me from a fall on those
winding stairs. In one hand I bold
my boots and with the other grasped
tightly the bannisters. Down, down.
A loud squeaking noise ,eot my feet
upon the third step. I paused before I
resumed.
"No one has beard me," thought I,
as I stepped briskly down until I
had reached the bottom. I heard feet
upon the floor, and I slunk into a cor
ner, covered by a column.
The door opened, and Walker, with
a light held above his head, peeped
out, only for a moment, in breathless
anxiety, until all was again still. I
reached safely the main ball, after
forming no clue of the seeming inval
id.
I could hear sharp talking, but I
had no time to listen. My mission was
below. Hero I was in the dark, not
knowing which way to turn with safe
ty. I could now bear the rattling of
glasses and the sound of voices abovo
me; but I had made a discovery, and
I pushed boldly forward toward a nar
row stream of light straight through
an opening over a door. I found it a
little open, and, pushing more, I peep ;
ed with caution within.
Thick heavy curtains hung to the
windows, and all was darkness; only
a smell hole in the outer edge of the
curtain admitted the light, which
shone-through the opening near the
doqr. I stepped softly across the
room, pulled back the curtains, admit
ted a stream of light, which as I mo-
ved,ob, heavens! fell upon the upturned
face of a corpse !
I uttered a suppressed cry, started
backwards, and my knees shook until
I was forced to lean on the window for
support. Regaining more courage, I
made a survey of the room and the
body now lying before me. The place
was neatly; furnished with a plain car
pet several chairs, sofas, tables, a book
case. and several small ornaments on
the mantel. Those constituted all, if
I add an old portrait hanging against
the wall, which resembled the corpse
upon which I turned my attention.
It was the lifeless form of a woman
of sixty•five, very small in size, laid
out to all appearances in the very ha
biliments she wore prior to her decease.
Her hair was of a silver gray.
I now raised the window to make
my exit.
I leaped upon the stops, and trod
safely to the balcony. Looking care
fully around I grasped the column
which supported it, and slid to the
ground. Ones there my heart beat
freer. I put on my boots. and then
sought out my client.
I found the prison, and in one cor
ner, shivering with the cold, sat the
woman. I could not forbear for a mo
ment to study the features as they
were revealed by the moon. She was
a woman of about twenty years, face
pale, and thick curls, falling promis
cuously' over her forehead. Yet with
all the marks of privation, want and
misery defined upon her, there was
yet a look which denoted one who had
seen better days.
Upon the door I made as much noise
as was consistent, till the inmate
awoke, and when she did, she flow to
the place where I was standing, cx
el•dming :
"I know you would come—l knew
it I"
"Hush, hush !" I repeated in a whis•
per. "Be quick. Your safety depends
upon it."
"Safety ?" eho replied.
"Your safety and with it freedom."
Her jot-black eyes sparkled at my
remarks.
"Where is the entrance?" I asked.
"There is only one, and that is at
the foot of the cellar stairs."
I saw there was no hope in that di
rection ; so seizing a bar lying at hand
I with one desperate effort, wrenched
out the bolt, and the girl was free.
By chance I looked upward and saw
the flash of light, in the room I had
so recently occupied. There was no
time to be lost. I was missed, and
knowing search would follow my ab
senpo, I wrapped my coat around the
wornau and hurried up the road, lead•
lug her by the hand.
She told me Walker waa her brother,
"and yesterday, lie and my aunt Alice
(twitted me with saying that "the old
ll'oulan's dead, and you'll soon follow."
TERMS, $2,00 a year in advance
I saw it all in an instant. "The vil
lain!" I muttered,and felt the woman's
hand grasp me tightly as the word fell
on her ear.
On we went till we arrived at a
neighbor's house. I aroused the in
mates, and then, telling our story, the
gentleman called up his sons, and
then I marched boldly back to the
house. Gaining admittance by moans
of a window, we rushed up stairs as
several people dashed out of. the room
above.
"Catch him !" I cried, as Walker
fled down stairs in front of me, and
with one blow from the fist of one of
the sons the wretch and murderer was
laid out lifeless in the hall.
Up I mounted into the room, and
lo I behold the invalid—the dying wo
man standing in a corner, with a white
wig at her feet, and her own black
hanging in disorder round her shoal
dom. She, with Walker, and the do
mestics, wero seized•and in the morn
ing wore marched off to prison.
But now for the sad tale—now to
lay bare the diabolical plot, which en
compassed forgery, robbery, and swin
dling within its folds.
Walker made a confession to the
following effect : That his mother
had died the day previous to my corn
ing, and seeing that the %vitt which she
had made gave him but a pittance of
the estate, he destroyed it, and was de
termined to have ono of his own. So,
by his advice, his aunt answered the
mother's place in bed, and she was to
make the will, and leave it, as I have
related: Thou Mrs. Walker was to be
buried, and when his sister, whom it
was his intention to murder, was out
of the way, he could then show the
will, and he and the deceiving aunt
were to divide. Ho had shut his sis
ter up three weeks before his moth
er's death, and with all the coolnes
imaginable, ho said he presumed by
his reporting her drowned, he hasten
ed -her on the road taster than any
thing else.
The poor girl, corroborated that
part relating to herself; and when I
had given my evidence, a man step
ped forward and produced a warrant
for the arrest of Walker upon the
charge of murder.
murdered a man," replied the
officer, "some time ago, and then es.
eaped to this place. I have been on
his trail a long while, and yesterday
traelted him Core."
The aunt received a severe sen
tence—also, her domestics, accessor
ies to the act ; while Walker perished
as a criminal upon the gallows. The
woman, or Miss Rachel, as I should
term her, regained her estate, and
gained a victory over all they had
done for a will.
One of the deepest and darkest plots
man could conceive to defraud was
brought to light by an unsuccessful ef
fort to gain a will.
"Nay, peak no ill—a kindly word
Can never leave a sting behind;
And oh I to breathe each tale we hear,
Is far beneath a noble mind."
Slander makes its appearance in
various forms. It is indulged in by
both sexes, and no class is exempt
from the pernicious habit. Its com
monest form is that of tattling, which
is certainly the meanest, lowest, and
most detestable practice of which any
cynical libel on humanity could be
guilty. if there is the person more
despicable than another in the eyes of
man, it most emphatically is this de
based and cowardly scab of society.
In England, Charles Dickens says this
habit is confined to. a few old women
who are the fag-ends and refuse of de
cent society; but, alas, it bas become
frightfully common with the American
people. Go where you will, you will
find these fiends in human form. At
the tea-table is a common place for
them to enjoy an exchange of infor
mation. Hero they will unburden
themselves of the load they may have
gathered, and will receive a new car
go, which they will carry home, giro
proper shape, and then scatter broad.
cast. In the bands of these, a story
will undergo about as much change as
a snowball will by being rolled down
a hill. They pass it up, and roll it
down, and when they get through
with it, it is a perfect mountain I
If these . busybodies were to think
for a moment of the injury they do
many innocent members of society,
they might be more careful. But they
never think that titr ahead. It is
amusement for them to enlarge and
misrepresent trifles, and they always
find somebody ready to laugh and en
courage them.
This is wrong. We all should dis•
countenance everything of the kind,
and encourage more charitable con
versations. If you see a fault in a
neighbor, it is not your place to give
publicity to it, thereby lowering him
in the estimation of the public ; but,
rather, by example and kind words,
show him his error, and thereby possi
bly reform him.

An Operatic Drank,
At the police court, one thorning
last week, Andrew A. Soarer replied
to the usual question of `Were. you
drunk 7" as follows :
"Hear me, nor may you hoar in
vain. I was drunk, with extenuating
circumstances. It was not owing to
drams, but to dramatic feelings.. I

until a young lady came upon the
stage, and knelt at the altar in groat
distress. That touched me. It Was a
Pauline.
"I saw Norma, too. She was trying
to keep peace in the family. The
Gauls were galled by the yoke of
Rome.; it egged them on to fight,
She would not let them. They must
stay at home and not go tp rpam.
"Then I wont to sleep, and when I
woke up again I saw Norma with a,
lamp in one hand and a dagger in tho

two children who wore asleep. With .
lifted dagger she approached the in
fants. I wondered what she wanted.
She is after an infant, Isighed.'
"It sheeked me horribly. The warm
tears came in my eyes so that I oould

remained so the rest of the ()Veiling..
That kept me from seeing wliat Nor

she did not kill the babes.
"As the opera went on, my nervous

saw Norma and her ghost. They were .

THE NUTRIMENT or BEER.—Peoplo•
