A Born lllacliiniM. Ilonvy Maudsley, one of the thesVehliriSrit of English mechanics (whose death is report oil to uS among the nows brought by tlio last foreign steamer) had this mechanical instinct strikingly developed. Ilia lather waa a car penter, but young Maudsley himself ,\Vas much fonder of working in iron, and Would/ niton excite the anger of the foreman hy„ateal ing off to an adjoining smithy, ,11c urged so Imrdfui; the change that wheh ; fifteen years (ud, ho was transferred from the carpenter’s to the blacksmith shop. Hero he became am export worker in metal, and was.soon quite noted for forgipg “ trivors’.' with great speed ami skill, the old experienced hands gather ing round, to admire him when at this work. They had in this shop—which belonged ,to the naval works of Woolwich —a very ac commodating superintending offiber, Who would blow, his nose in a peculiar manner when approaching, so that all forbidden jobs, end making," trivors” was among them, was put out of the way by the time he entered the shop. When a hoy has the innate love of his trade that Maudsley had, and thou sands of American youth all ovor the country to-day, he does not-remain at the foot of the ladder. Take a boy—there are plenty such —who has no particular predilection foil any thing, and put him at a trade* and ho will always remain a mere workman. But boys like Maunsley, almost without knowing it aro urged-on to something hotter- At this time* llrabmah, the lockmaker, bad great difficulty to find mechanics skillful enough to make hisj looks with -the neat precision ho. wanted.—; Young Maudsley was suggested to him* and on being sent for, the 'Woolwich blacksmith came to London. lie was then but 18 years old, strong, muscular, tall* and remarkably l handsome. But both Brahinah and his fore man thought ho Waa too young to bo put in the shop with old workmen. A wornout.yieo bench was laying, near by, and-. Maudsley seeing his chances were in danger, asked permission to go right to work and fix .it up. lie did so, and tlio job was so splendidly ox ecutod that ho was at opoe engaged* and ho became as much a favorite in this as his fer ine! 1 shop. As hofore said he was*extremely handsome—an Apolo among Vulcana; and his personal advantages, with his mental ac tivity, had their clfeot on his follow workmen) trim tacitly acknowledged him as their leads Or and superior.' 1 He road in position, ond hocamo foreman. In 1797 he opened si shop <’f his own and lie, and his wife (for a pretty girl had a little time before accepted the hand of the handsome blacksmith) clearing the hired shop of tho dirt and rubbish loft in 't by a former tenant, Tits first customer tvas. an artist,- who gave an, order for, the irori frame of , a largo, easel; and thenceforth Maudsloy’s shop had plenty of work. Ills next success was tlio invention of the slide rest with which his namo is usually idonti rmd, an invention, too, which dll familiar with the use of the turning" lathe, now consider mdispbnsabla;;’ MiiuMay subsequently he* came a famous manufacturer of machinery; hut oven when he employed numbers of men and found it nbbessqry to labor more with the head than the hands, ho used to go often ™ Ihe forge and ’work enthusiastically with me sledge hammier,-just from sheer love of 1118 art. In time his shop became as it were ? “ollego of mathematical art; from whinh the wort mechanics worn proud to graduate. THE RUNAWAY MATCH. " I would not condemn them so swoopingly, Robert, my boy.” Robert looked up in surprise,and the old father gave a meaning glance at bis old wife, sitting opposite him, and chuckled audibly. .Whatl do you : mean to say, father, that you aro in favor of runaway marriages ?’’ asked Robert, breathless from the slio'ck ho liAd.rccoived. lie had been declaiming with 'hilt intense satisfaction one feels in the con aei outness of being able to talk!Well, ana the certainly'of carrying his audience'ivitli him, Against all clandestine matches. The mild check of his father's Words wr.s lifco a peal of thunder in his curs. “ Why, no, my son,” the old man answer ed. “I object to sweeping assertions of all kinds. As a rule, perhaps, the fact of a clandestine arrangement ofthis kind argues , the existence of somethingwrong.. But there may exist circumstances perfectly nnd fully justifying a runaway marriage—oh, mother?” Robert looked from one to the other. On the wan, faded cheek of his mother’s a faint flush was glowing and a soft light was in -her dimmed eye.- The big,'portly, figure of his father was shaking .with suppressed laughter, and his eyCs twinkled with mirth. Robert had'just graduated at - College, and was now. about to enter the ThooligioAl Seminary. . Hewnsa good scholar, and an 'earnest, practical young man. lie had a most exalted opinion of his vocation and of himself. Ho was accustomed to being lis tened to with much deference, nnd ho by no means relished being laughed at. Ho got up and stalked out of the room with most im pressive tread nnd head considerably eleva ted. Ho was about equally puzzled' and an gry. The joyous ha 1 ha 1 of his dear old father’s voice-followed him as ho strode away nnd mado him somehow angrier. But angry At his : parents I Surely that was wrong. Ho must go back!' ho must humble himself to ask their forgiveness; ho must not indulge in such sinful feelings a minute longer. So, without going into the garden, ns ho had in tended, ho turned about and entered the room again. • - His father and mother had never been ashamed to seem to love each other in the presence of their children. And now he found his mother, whore he had often soon her before, sitting by his father’s side, and listening with a well-pleased smile to some very lover-like talk. And sire neither looked nor felt ashamed, though shehad been a-wife almost fifty years, and it was already planned to celebrate the golden wedding the following 'spring. “ Never mind, Bob,” the father said, when his son,'in a few: hesitating but manly words had signified his penitence for the anger ho bad displayed. “It is not strange for young people to believe their llit'onos bettor than old people's experience. Ynnr mother and I can readily forgive you for differing from us in opinion, ’especially as ours has the roost substantial foundation, and has already with stood the tempests of well nigh fifty years.— Look, my boy 1 Hero are wo’, a hale and happy old pair, and a living exemplification of my doctrine that people who run away to get married are not always either wicked or miserable.” , Robert looked from l his father’s smiling face to th/s serious and tender ono of his mother. Par down the valley of life they had passed, serene and loving, undismayed hy the storms of life, untouched ,by its temp tations, beloved, honored, respected. Their life had.been rich alike in household joys and in Worldly honor, Spuifo Thorn was the ar bitof of all 11V6 country round aild his opinion was respected almost more tl;au the law.— Mrs. Thorn was a, “mother in Israel;” a gentle minister in all things that concerned' tfie material as well as the spiritual .welfare of her vast circle of acquaintance. Wisdom and purity and kindness had been the law of those gontlof beautiful lives now drawing to their close. It was hard fd believe that this aged pair had signalized the outset of their of their joint existence hv an not which he, their son, had ju'st designated as “oneof the’ insancat folly of which human beirgs are ca pable;” Ho drew ,a loiig breath and sit' down bewildered. . ... . “ I can hardly believe it yet, father,'’ ho said, feebly. : , '• • “But it,is truij, nevertheless, my toy; ahd lost you should bo tempted to despise your parents—never mind depreciations— I’ll tell you all about it. Sit still, mother,.you need not be ashamed to hear your youthful ex ploits spoken of.”. Oh, Mr. Thorn 1 wo never told any of oU,r children. Do you think it is tho host'to till Robert?” . . This was the most violent eipostijlntiqn that-good, gentle filrs. Thorn ever, uttered; and after that, if Mi-. Thorn signified that lie did “ think it best/’ she acquiesced placidly, perfectly satisfied th’dt ho niust bo right. , This was an ancient household jest, to pre tend to fancy the niild little woman frighten ing somebody, and putting tho family in mor al terror for daring to dispute hor will. It put thorn all in good humor with themselves and each other. - “ Now, Sob,” the old gentleman, commen ced, “ I take it for granted limit, notwithstan ding your objection, to a rmidway match, you are inclined to think tolerably well of your parents. You’ve noddea that in his youth, your father-was‘a ravenous wretch, going about the world seeking whom he might de vour, in tho shape of richly endowed,dam sels With more money than brains. Nor do you think your mother. Who, 1 cart testify, Was really e very passable looking girl when in he teens, never flirted and road novels* af ter the fashion Of those silly Miss Sodmoys down at the mill village* Nor wore Wo eif ther of Us, persons of that class. I was tho son of a poor widow, Who Worked and'Strove to keep arid educate mo while t was a Child, and I worked and strove to lift this and all other burdens from her shoulders as soon ns ,1 was old' enough. I really had no time to roam about in search of oven such delicious food.- And Patty, there, though her father was a wealthy farmer, she bad. to spin, and bake,and brow; and 1 remember tho sum mer she was sixteen she was engaged in •weaving a web.of linen to- bo made into ta ble cloths for hor 'own outfit. She had spun and ,prepared the yarn, and after she had wo ven it (was it the lemon pool or the bird's eye* Patty?) slid bleached it, cut it into lengths, and sowed it with her own hands. That is tho way girls did in those days, and they had notmuoh tithe for novels or flirtation either. I was a groat awkward lad of twenty, flint summer. For two winters I had taught the school in tho log sohobl houso on’the lull, and all tlio summers I worked for onoior otli or of the rich farmers in the neighborhood. This year". I had hired 1 out to Squire Evaris’ for ton dollars a month. I guess ybff do'n’t, remember your grandairo Evans, do you,' Robert f lie must liavb died before you vrafo old enough to riotiee. Well; lie.was Patty’s (father, and. accounted a hard, Stern man) with “OUH COUNTRY—MAX IT ALWAYS BE RIGHT—BUT RIGHT OR WRONG OUR COUNTRY.” gusty passions, and given to liaroji words if people or oilier things displeased him. 'But Patty had been my scholar the two winters I had been teaching, and I made up my mind that I could got along with her father for the s'iko of being where I could see her every day. So I closed with his offer, and went there to, live, though Deacon Thompson had offered mo a dollar mco a month. I should have been very angry if any one had called me a sorVrnt. I did not feel like one; nor Wes I treated ns one. I sat ht <ho same table and partook of the same faro as my employers, and I was lodged ns well as they. I retained my , self-respect, and was respected by them. But there still,was an intangible line of separation. In one sense I was an acknowledged equal—labor did not degrade mo; but poverty placed mo lower in the social scale than the farmer and his fam ily. Pretty Patty did not fool this. (You wore pretty then you know, mother.) ■ I think that, in fact, she rather looked up to mo. She had learned the trick of obddionoo ns my pu pil, and sho was as. gentle and yielding then ns I have always found her. It was not long boforo I foond courage to tell my love, and had the delight of listening to her confession that it was reciprocated.' I felt a sort of in definite fear.of opposition, but I did not imag ine it would not amount to more than a man date of dolfcy. , That I thought' myself pre pared for. I must prepare a home, and com mand the means of supporting a wife before I took one. AVo were both very young, and quite willing to wait till we could marry with .comfortable prospects for the future. I, of course, had no thought of doing any thing mean or secret. 1 wont to the squire tho yory next morning after the delicious summer evening that had witnessed the plighting Of our vows, and, as the phrase wont in those days, "asked his consent." I remember this scene so well that it seems to’ appear tangibly before me as I speak. Tho great barn, with the fragrant hay piled in mows each side,.and tho squire looking at this odious wealth with a sort Of grim exul tation. Grain harvest was to- Commence tho next day, and I fancy ho Was wondering where lie was to bestow tho golden sheaves winch, before the week’s end, would bo there, fn truth, his barns wore overflowing already. “ I disliked tho task I had to perform, now that tho time for it had come; but it must bo done. And, after all, I reasoned, there could not bo a more propitious time, for tho squire ia-in the-best df-humors.---But-there was tho very point of ray mistake. The oausa which putmy employer in such a plcas aut mood was tho very one to prove unfa vorable to my suit. If I had been more woildly-wiao I should never have chosen that moment to propose my poor self as a son-in law of this rich man, exulting , his wdalth. But I was young, and had never been taught in tho hard school which degraded tho honest man because of his poverty. •: So I cleared up my throat, nnd went lip to tho squire.". * What is it, John?’ ho said quite pleasantly. ‘ Oh, directions for the day, I suppose.’' How I answered him I hardly remember, but I made him under stand, at Inst, that it wasliis consent to my marriage with his daughter that I asked fori What a towering passion he fell into 1 How ho raved and scolded I And, finally, flow fiercely he'brandished the pitchfork, as ho drove mo before its glittering points Irom the barn 1 I wont to tho house, hopeless and dismayed Patty had been lingering near, and tho tones of hor father’s Voice, as well as some words had reached hoi 1 ears, loft mo nothing to tell. But sbo put her arms around my neck, and, kissed mo on the'chock, which she baptised with her tears ; and then she tried to smile ns she bade me good-bye, and exerted mo to bo, of good courage I ‘ Father loves mo bet ter than anything else in tho world, and I can bring him round. Don’t go homo to your mother ; to toll her would only bo to distress, her, but go into tho field and work. Father is short of hands Ilieard him say this morn ing and he will only ho .more angry with you if you leave hint now.' ■ But,’ said I, ‘he drove mo out of the barn with tho pitchfork, and ordered file never to show, my face on his premises again.’ And then Patty smiled up. in my face, and said, ‘Trdst, John, I know father bettor than you do, find I know lie does not really want’you to leave.; Can’t you stay for mv sake r Very well the little minx knew that I would have done much for hor sake; and much as I disliked to meet the Squire again, lipromiacd to stay, and rmriiediatoly betook myself to the field, The squire never alluded to what had oc curred. IXo treated mo much as ho had done before, but I felt myself watched. -It was very seldom that'l could got access to Patty;, and though living in tho same house, I was ns offeotu illy separated from her as though miles of space had intervened. Matters went on in this way all the sum mer. Occasionally, wo met for a few hurried words. But Patty’s mother or her maiden aunt,.wore close upon liar-track at all times, and those hurried interviews only soerpod to keep a faint ember of hope alive.. Winter came, ond I was again ; tho teacher of tho country school. But Putty was, no longer lily pupil; Her .parents''could not trust her so near nfo, and ; now wo met ,more seldom than before. .1 bbgan to feel sad and hope less* What if she should bo 'influenced by hor parents, and oeiiso to love mo. The few luirriod words exchanged in our church moot ings hardly sufficed to keep tho flame of Dope burning. Wo both felt ond and disheartened. And so thb nionths foiled on. " Then there suddenly Carrie tri mb ru'iuors that old Dr* Tracy’s Son and boir, from Had field, waa often seen at Squire, Evans’. Ev erybody said ho was courting Patty, and some few professed to know that they would be married in tho spring. I was in despair, and I,waylaid Patty oh ono of hor visits to tho village, and accused her of being false to mo. The poor girl looked pale and worn, and cried bitterly. X felt myself ft brute ami I believe I cried too* I know I felt like it* She said her father was fully determined that she should marry John Tracy; hilt she was determined that she would nut, and there ind boon several conflicts of will. time was determined on as -yet, and she de cided to IC’avb homo and try to earn hor own living in some way if he persisted. Wo wore interrupted at this point ami parted. 1 went straight homo to my mother and told hor all, and she advised mb' to intorlbre, to prevent this unhappy sacrifice. Traoy had nothing to recommend him,' but Ins fichus. Patty did riot lovb him add did love mo. She had promised to marry me, and my mother said I had the Wight, aiid .it,* was, in truth my duty to savo her from misery. my mind was made up, and'! found moans to cbmnunioate. with Patty, ;and to lot her know that she had a,friend who would not, let her’ho driven to extremities. Before Ibng.it was known fn Brighton that Patty Evans was to Tib married to', young CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, !8U4; : , Traoy on tho eighteenth of April. ■ Squire Evans had spread tho report,!nnd .prepara tions were already making fo» tho. wedding.

Wo wore not far frorti tho Stato lino, and on tho night of tho seventeenth of April, I.helped Patty to descend from. Lor window, assisted her into ray carriage, and before daylight, was. safely out'of Mossoliu •setts. Wo breakfasted at a tavtern, in a lit tle village near tho lino, in Now-,-York, and after tho meal was over, proceeded quietly toi tho nearest clergyman, who speedily niado us pno. Before night wo were saloly 'eaoonced beneath my mother’s roof. ’ , ■ ' . . Patty’s cousin,, Abhy. wlio had been locked up with her on tho night of horoscope,] and had in fact, been our accomplice received Jfor moals, and our escape was not known in Brighton■ till tho following evening; Then, as may be supposed, tho wedding did not take piaco forwantpf thobrido. There was mueli confusion on the discovery of our escape, and Squire Evans vowfed ho would never forgive either of us. But ho did before tho evening was over; and learning that' Patty was at my mother’s ho,scnt.hqs carriogo to bring us all to his house; and, then, trading, I sup pose, that it was uselfesS'to attempt/my far ther opposition, he gavo us his blessing, and forgiveness. ; We had our wedding; feast, after all, and Patty slipped up stairs, and put on lief bridal dross in which she had expected to bo trans formed into Mrs. Tracy. Altogether wo had' a very happy and pleasant time of it. Traoy behaved like a good follow.

As ,ii child she had h6erl'stofori from tho purlieus of tho very chateau she now inhabits.

On Sunday afternoon tho inhabitants of the qniot and picturesque little village .of .Old Winsdor were horrified by tho discovery ,bf a dreadful crime,, involving the, dcath.'of four persons, which had just booh committed in tho lionse of a man named John Cook,;a har bor at Old Winsdor Green. ■ It 'seems that a ,man wont to Cook’s house on Sunday .afternoon for tho purpose,of being shaved ; but, on jenooking, could not obtain any .anawrir,, This attracted tho attention of the neighbors; who then recollected that .they had not seen or hoard anything of, Cook or Ins family (luring the morning. - Tho assist: anco of a police constable was at onco ob tained;.and bn tho house being enter,cd and the various, rorima being searched, the evi dence of a frightful and cold-blooded murder Were revealed. . ~ . In tho front room tho bodies of throe little girls, pgod respectively about four, six, and sOvehiyoars, children of tho man Cook,-who had,,it is believed, poisoned tlib little,inno cents with sulphuric acid or vitriol, diluted with tea—were discovered undressed and laid out. These, from the appearance of the bod ies, bud'boon dead several days,.probably a week. In tbp front' room up stairs—a. bed room—Cook himself was found, with his th’ro'at cut in two largo gashes’, lib . was still alive and undressed, while lying byjii's side with her tht-oat but was a little girl, his daughter, eight years of ,age, also alive. Proceeding tp tho up stairs hack room tho parly found tho oldest daughter, a girl twelve years of age, who had boon poisoned with tho sulphuric acid, but was still living, while in tho down stairs back room was found a pail containing blood, over which Cook had evidently held his head while attempting to commit suicide. Tho discovery of tho murdeb was made about throo o’clock, and a messenger was immedi ately dispatched to .Winsdor for tlib.assistance of fir. E. Poarl, High Street, .who hnrried over to Old Winsdor, and did all that medical science could administer for tho surviving sufferers. Tho girl whoso throat was (Bit was removed to tho Winsdor infirmary, amt is or was still alivo. The eldest girl, who was poisoned, re mains at Old Winsdor, and was likewise liv ing. Cook, who was about thirty-oight, ex pired about 7 o’clock on Sunday ovening.— Although the three,youngest children would appear to have been murdered nearly a week back, it seems that Cook did not attempt to toko away the' lives of the two eldest children till about Friday last, while the murderer himself was seen in tho village,-as it ia-.un deirstood on Saturday, so, that it' would 'ap pear that Cook had hesitated till the lastriio- 1 mont before he attempted to commit suicide.
