In a comfortable farm-house in one of but land counties, lived the Arlingtons, a fami : which hod once been rich,'but which now id a.hard struggle to keep up appearances, r. Arlington was improvidont in his habits, id tyrannical at homo. The wife was a weak oman, who had married her husband for his ity, and who had long since subsided into lero household drudge, without energy to em the family, and scarcely patience Igh to endure her lot. a i ! f°r,her,,eldest child, Isabelle, , r ' ln ft to^'^. o “ >have sunk under her in” V ? j i au ghtor from her very Idhood had been taught to assist her ml c ; and day after, day poor Isabelle sowed hoiping .to make up garments• for the six pger children, and dome other things need in a large household. Her pleasures wore and' her sorrows many. But ahe was fdrr atelyfond of reading, and over a newbook aeriodical. whenevor she could got one, she ad some relief for her lot. Naturally of a lantio turn, and unacquainted with real s, she solaced-herself by imagining herself i horoino of some story; and she often dream jn'vague as she sat-at her work, it,'at some future day, a handsome and no- lover would redeem her, by. mar ge, ‘from her thraldom.' [sahello had frequency been invited by her itipns to pass some time with them in the rn where they resided. " These invitations •. father had never allowed her' to .accept j i phe,day, to her greatsurprise, wijeh pho s about sixteen, hie announced hisintention permitting her to spend some weeks with family, and as, he wap shortly,to .vlait tho r on, business, he proposed' that' she' should, omphnyhiih.'’ 'Those only who have been fined to an uncomfortable home for many ■rs, can form on idea of Isabelle’s delight, trrivod at her destination; kind friends eted her with affection she bad boon little d to experience; and she forind'herself at e a member of a large, delightful, happy lily- The acquaintances of nor relatives eijph hor; she was-invited out, admiredj sought-after.

She gled in society, and- seized with avidity DY SIRS'., USMANS. every pleasure preebht'ed, because nil was. so now, so delightful'. ~ ~ . Among, nor faW acquaintances was one su porior to: all, in intellect at leoat. llis per gonal appearance was pleasing and interest lag, .though not remarkably striking; nnd not the lijiLst Jike’ the beau ideal which had so lone haunted Isabelle’s imagination. He had nei ther dart hair nor eyes,-nor was he remarka bly tall, i He.did not mingle in the glittering throng around her, but stood aloof, and whop others 1 flattered, ho did not even; compliment. When surrounded by frivolity, and gaiety, be quietly withdrew; but when the summer eve-, :nings came, he would persuade her. to nocom-’ pahy him along ,the banks of that beautiful ri ver, over those lovely bills, and -talk to her of everything but. love,isleijihelle soon learned to regard him as d friend, and felt no fear of any warmer feeling. She thought it all very pled sanf; and sighed when she remembered how soon.it must end, and she return to that dark, gloomy homo, now ton times darker and gloo mier than ever; from the oyous contrast. The mandate came'shd must go, must leave all that was bright and pleasant—all tho kind friends the had learned- to love so well—tho balls, tho concerts, the morning rides, the so cial evening gatherings, and last, though not least, Henry Stanley, j The last evening arriv ed; her friends gathered around her' to say farewell, but Stanley was not among them.— Isabelle’s eye was not so bright, nor her man ner quite so brilliant and sparkling as usual, but that was very natural, dhd her friends thought it quite flattering to thoir vanity.— Yes, Isabelle; the : timid, quiot, Isabelle, when released from the chain that bound her spirit down, had become a striking and n brilliant woman. She returned hoino, dull and dispirited; once more, under the stern eye to resume her home ly duties; hut with'recollections of the past, instead of dreams of the future, to occupy her mind. Which was the most dangerous? Months passed away. One Sunday Isabelle went as usual to church. What was her surr prise, among some strangers recently settled in the neighborhood, to recognize Stanley. ' I do hot think Isaballo was as attentive as usu al to her devotions that day. After church, she was accosted by him.' and informed that the persons with whom ho was staying were old friends and relatives of his, who had per suaded him to spend some time with them at the place they had recently purchased in that parish.. Isabelle’s delight on seeing him was extreme. ■ If, had been so Jong, since she had met a friend, or'seen any one to’lniigh and chat with ; and then ho reminded her of that delightful visit—that one oasis in the dark de sert of her life! She greeted him with unal loyed pleasure, and asked a, thousand ques tions about her friends in B : . v . Stanley was a: reserved man—remarkably cold and grave in his manners. . There were few indeed who knew him, few to whom ho ever relaxed from that stern, immovable man. ner; and how, as ho spoke, to her; no anawer ing pleasure shone in that cold grey eye; hut then there was a something in his. manner, something.-kind, yet grave, .which made Isa-; and appeared ns usual, but her heart was in a wild tumult; she know Wot why,and oared not to analyze; the, feeling. . She’ had certainly abandoned all idea of .ever meeting Stanley: again, -when she'left' B- —and, thoiigh the idea gave her pain, n 6 dream of marriage with him had ever entered her mind. Yet she had not, nevercould forget him;, . .i s s Week after, week passed away, and Stanley came again and again. Isabelle soon learned, to love him with all the intensity, the adora tion of a. Woman’s first love. The love of an 1 isolated heart which none7iad ever, none could ever share. His was the first voice which had waked an answering echo in her bosom, the first whose tones her heart had, bounded 1 to, hear. , , Well, they were married. He took her to; his home;- a iarge farm in dh atijoining coun ty ; and Isabelle thought life had smiled on, her at last. ;ller husband loved her sincere ly, and if the truest, tenderosfc devotion on her part could have made her happy, Isabelle would nave been so, but there’dre yery many, causes, unseen by the world,’which operate to disturb happiness. Many a canker lies deep in the; heart of a tree, never suspected until the leaves fade and the houghs die one after another; and the stump is then rooted up and the cause at last discovered; but what avails it ? Isa belle sought to make her home happy and cheerful, but she soon discovered that Stanley did not like society, nor gaiety of any kind.— Had she not loved so blindly, she might have found’ that out before. Ho did not like con-; versation. Ho liked to sit and brood over some fancied sorrow, wrap himself in what lie' considered a “pleasing melancholy," and al low the world around aim to pursue its own way, so it lot him alone. Sometimes he would absent himself for days together, when called to the city to attend to indispensable business. He never took Isabelle with him on these oc casions. He,thought little of the young and’ gentle heart which looked to him ns to the; “god of-his idolatry,” and measured all her humors and every, thought by his wayward moods. His eyes , were her only mirror, and assiduously did she consult them to know if lier attire pleased him or was becoming': vain hope, he never looked'nor cared. The tones of his woice, the expression of his face, was, the-only guage by which she weighed every look, word and action. But He who had re deemed her wOuld not permit such idolatry as this, it tiirnedinlo gall and bit-; torncas. He was leading her away which she knew.not-.tb the 'fountains of light and lifo. - ■ As Stanley did pot like society, Isabelle cheerfully relinquished it, and devoted herself to him alone. How 1 many lonely hours was sheoondemnod td, whilo ho was absent or shut up in his study, where he did not permit her to intrude pn hira. 1 Her sensitive heart would often torment itself with'a thousand fears,of What was filling her husband’s mind. ’. Some times she imagined he was regretting his mar riage. with herself, because it brought no worldly advantage with it; Then, again; she would fancy he was dissatisfied with some thing she had done or said ; and for hours she would sit, retracing every word and action of her own during the time he had been with her, and wondering which of them it was that had displensd him. Could she but have known he thought not of her but of himself,, it would hardly have made her happier. But Whori he was once more by her side, one ,kind word or .smile.would make her supremely happy, and she thought of nothing,Asked for nothing else. The many peculiarities iin her position-did not strike her as they would have done most wo men in the . same situation. . Accustomed: to seeing hor mother treated ns an inferior and denied all those priviloges usually accorded to a wife and the mother of a. family, her own want of many advantages, she might justly have claimed as the‘wife of a man of -family and fortune, did not occur to her.hand, and when'alluded; to by others only wounded her feelings, ns she considered thein a reflection oh her beloved Stanley. ■. : ’ There are always plenty of officious friends in this world to tell .us .what we ought to have. Indeed-1 think- our friends generally- know “OUR COUNTRY—MAY IT ALWAYS BE RIGHT—BUT, BIGHT OR WRONG, OUR COUNTRY.” what wo V ought to have,” and what our cir cumstances are, much bettor than wb do our selves, " ' _ Sopassed a few years, and due [smiles of a liftle daughter brightened the home of Isabelle Stanley. Her husband had wished for a. son, but be seemed so happy wben his jdttlo daugh ter was laid in bis arms, that Isabelle did not regr,et the disappointment so much os she had' feared; “ Ana now,” thought she, “ wb will be happier. . This, new tie-must draw; us more together, and he will surely love, me th,b bet: ter.” Vain, foolish thought;,!He loved her already as much ns hp comb love, but he could not love her as well as he did Himself. : Isabelle recovered very slowly. The child was a lovely likeness of himself, and when sh’b saw the .fond father smiling', oh the prattling cherub by her,side, no thought of self inters voned to break tho spell,of perfect happiness thrown around her, Stanley, too, absorbed in his child, did not .mavk the ftuied choek, the languid bye, the feeble stop.,. The, summer passed away, and, another winter'catoo with its piercing blasts and stormy days of snow, and sleet, and rain,. Isabelle found herself confined to her chamber'; but they thought, it only a slight cold, a triflmg indisposition.— When Stanley could steal a moment from drea my indolence, or thoughts of worldly aggran dizement, between which his time was whol- ly passed, he would sit,by the.side of his wife, and tell her pho must cheer up, that iho spring would soon come in, and that then,they;must ride together, and walk together! and that he would take her to the Springs, a promise, by thc-bye, he had no intention of ever keeping. But poor Isabelle felt this world, with all Its pleasure, all its.sorrows! was fast fading from' before her eyes. Something within her .told her it could not be long, that she had little more to suffer in that world which, had to her. been a short and weary pilgrimage. Still it was hard to resign till hope, : To know that wo must part with all wo love, and ho forgot ten in that cold, dark grave; to know in a few more months, perhaps days; we shall bo hid forever under that green sod, and those loved beings by our side will pass coldly.by, with out perhaps “one thought, whoso relics,there recline.” ■ Oh, it is hard for thonged and those who have hone to care for them, how hard' then for the young and lovely mother, who knows and feels,she.might bo beloved, '.dad those tender buds, around her which derived their life from hers; if she might only live un til they could learn to know arid love her as she feels sho deserves to bo loved. • . Spring came. Isabelle grew better, nhd 'hope once more revived in her breast,/ Some times better, sometimes worse, she passed, fee bly through the summer, bub the snows,of the succeeding February fell bn her grave.' Be fore she died she sawalittle son laid in,his fa ther's arras. Then selfish as Stanley was, he awakened to a sense of her danger. - Then ho would almost have purchased, her life with that of the long coveted son, horn to inherit his proudly cherished family name, but then' it was,too late.

She held her husband’s hand until the chili of death loosened her hold. Her last words. Were to him, her last one look of Jove.,! It was a bitter pang to ..part from her, little,Mildred, and many a tear the suffering mother shed over that fair head ns she thought of her own childhood, nndprayed that her child’s might not resemble hers.' Once as her husband eat by her, she could not help say ing, ‘“Oh Stanley, dear Stanley,'will you not .sometimes rpmomber this dear child may Want something beyond food and clothing?— She will be young and gay, find will have ho mother to think and plead for her.-, She will want sympathyreonsidefation for her feelings. She will whnt sooiety, amusement.” Isabpllo could got no further. Exhastod with emotion, | which the sad retrospect of her own cheerless life excited as much as the sight of her inno cent child, she sank almost fainting, and Stan-: ley promised; Poor Isabelle gave oho bitter, sigh, she was accustomed to his promises.- 1 - Yet he was sincere. And as he looked at his lovely unconscious .children, ho promised to himself to bo all . that man could bo to them ; but he did not know himself. He had not learned even the first rudiments of self-knowl edge; For a fevy weeks after following , poor Isa belle to her lost resting-place, he watched over his children most anxiously, then gradu ally other things attraptedhis attention. First his pride bade him erect a splendid monument to the memory of Isabelle, wife of the 11 Hon. Henry Stanley,” and then followed an oulogi um, containing a list of virtues which the' poor, humble Isabelle . would have been truly thankful, triily grateful could sho at anytime! in her life have known lie attributed to her, for Stanley never praised. Could poor Isa belle have known when she first saw him, that this very trait she so much admired in him, the absence of dll disposition to flatter or com pliment, which in her eyes so distinguished him from the common herd, was but another phase of : the deep selfishness of the heart of man, much of her sorrow and'suffering might have been spared. But she is now at rest.— There in that quiet country church-yard a beautiful willow waves over her tomb, atid the, hands of her little children often strew flowers on. the green turf around. : ~ i Two years after, Stanley led another bride, to that ohiirchVa proud and haughty woman, | who neither thought of his feelings, nor cared; for them. She asked for what she chose, and; when she did not find her wishes gratified, procured it herself. She was not unkind to her'step-children, for she did not trouble her self very much about them. Her own chil dren occupied much of her time and attention, and her own precious self still more; and Stan ley loved and admired her more than ho had done Isabelle, for such is the heart'of man.— -■ To him who hath much ho will give more, but to those who have not, will he takeaway oven that which he hath OCT” There aro two kinds of brevity which a keen eye soon distinguishes; thoone arro gant and dictatorial/ evidently' asserting that it baa settled the question forever in,a sent ence;’the other implying that tho writer has 'said the best thing he'has to say on the ,sub jeot,iand that he wishes to have done with it for the time;. leaving it for the reader's judg ment.'"'’' ■' : ,■ ‘ IE7" Ho w curious is the passion for balances and' totals in soine minds, : where they seem little applicable to the’subject matter; Kohl observed some Russian'children calculating by addition and multiplication the number of the archangels and angels in Heaven: 7 ■ I By In the very heaviest griefs, of all; the mind is so absorbed that we scarcely. notice an addition. _ In tho next degree of sorrow we feel every little addition; .our spirits have still movement enough to resent'it os a ■kind-' of injustice,' and oomploin of it mote than of tho original grief.- CARLISLE,'PA., XIUFBSMV, SEPTEMBER 13, 1560. - Kitty Cutting•wns-B nice, plump little mai den of cighteop-adtoroers..- Her unolo.wOs a miller, and protetW.eHfto-do in the world. .

The Giuzzlv Bear nqt a Ferocious Beast. —The following interesting account.of the grizzly bear of the Rocky Mountains is taken from ' a ; recent . work entitled “ The Prairie Traveler,” by. Captain Morey, of the United States Army. The volume is intended as a reliable guide book for those who would make 'the ■ overland journey to California. It is filed with valuable suggestions to such trav elers.” . Besides the common black bear of the Eas tern States, 'several others ore found in the. ) mountnihs of California, Oregon, Utah and New.-Mexico,, viz: the grizzly, brown and cinnamon varieties; all have nearly the same habits, and are hunted in the same • mariner. From all that I had heard of the grizzly heap, .l.was induced to believe him one of the; iriost savage aniriials in the uriiveree; and that the man who would deliberately encoun ter arid kill oho of these beasts had perform ed a - signal feat. of courage pvliich, entitled him to a lofty position among.--, the votaries 'of Nimrod. So flfirily had libecomo impress- 1 ed with this conviction, thatlsliouldhavo been very reluctant to firer upon -one had 1 met him when alone arid, op "foot. The grizzly bear is assuredly the monarch 'of the Amer ican forest,-and, so far as physical strength is concerned, ho'is,’perhaps,-without ai rival in iqthe world; but after some expqrienoojnhunt- opinions regarding his courage and his wilSrigriess to-attack mori Have very ma terially changed;-• In passing over the elevated table-lands dy ing. between, tbo.'two forks of the Platte River, ; in 1858;’encountered, a.fgll-grown . female grizzly, bear, quietly re •posingjupon the .open’ pbfiine,' several miles distant' fronfany timber. This being the first .opportunity, that had ever occurred to me for an encounter with the ursine monster, and be ing imbued wiih the most exalted notions of the.beast’s'proclivities for offensive ' warfare, especially when in the preseiico ofhor offspring, it may very justly bo imagined that I was rather more excited than usual.; T, however, determined to make-the assault. I felt the utmost confidence in my. horse, as she was afraid of nothing; and; after arranging every thing about my saddle and arms in : good or- j dor,l:adyance dto within abouteighty yards •before I wos discovered by the bear, when she rose upon her haunches and give, me a scrutinizing examination. I seized fins op portune-moment to fire, but ’m'ssed my aini, and she started off,-followed- oubs at their utmost OPeec.

Her sole purpose seemed to be to make her, escape, -leaving her cubs in the most cowardly manner. ' r Upon three other different occasions I met the mountain bears; and once the cinnamon species which is dolled the most formidable of all, and in none of these instances did they exhibit the slightest indication of anger orre sistance, but invariably ran from me. Such is my experience with thia.formidable monarch of the mountains. It is possible that if a man edme suddenly upon the breast in a: thicket where it could .'hove ho-, previous warning, he might be attacked; but it is ray opinion that if the bear gets (he wind or sight of a man at any considerable distance, it will endeavor to get away as soon mumssible. I am so fully impressed with this idea, that I shall hereafter hunt bojir with a feeling of as much security as I would have in hunting the buffalo. , , .

Cross, The Forger. “ Tho Philadelphia American, referring to the fact that this noted individual, ; reooutly con victed of forgery, but who made, his escape, and was recaptured on the 18th ult., received a sentence of five years in the penitentiary, remarks: - - ‘ . , The prisoner, who a few years since com manded one hundred thousand dollars, and reveled with wine and women to his heart’s ! content, had not, prior to his escape, a pair of , sound shoes to cover his feet, and.owea his re • capture solely to tho-faqtrthat he hod not 'the moans to leave the city. In court he looked as though satisfied of his. friendless condition, yet was still buoyed up by that philosophy which appears to be instilled ’ into every man ; of his peculiar stamp. It was suggested to him that he should make a relation to the court of the part certain persons took ini his escape.— He replied, “N0,.1 will say nothing. Jly •word would fall upon this court as a feather. The .flat wept forth that ! must be, convicted, and.to accomplish this end money was,con tributed by the banks, ovdn before my. arrest. Injustice nos been done me throughout, and while I do not profess to be an angel, yet il am.not the bad man the detective office&woUld; make me appear.” " i " While in the dock, prior to'his sentence, Cross said that he would not speak of those who betrayed him, but would try to believe thattheywere driven to the wall and forced to do what they did; hut there was a certain man there present who seemed marvelously reloiv ed when the five years’ sentence was pronoun ced upon the illustrious forger, '.The gang.of which.
