One dreary afternoon in November, many years ago, I was pacing restlessly up and down the platform of the station at L , waiting the arrival of the train from S , when my attention was sud denly arrested by a strange-loaking in dividual, who was leaning against the wall, seemingly absorbed in the contem plation of some deep and very important question., ' ' His figure was tail and meagre, his head covered with a profusion of dark curls which fell In neglected masses about a noble forehead; half shadowing eyes, whose wild splendor as he raised them to my own, I have never seen equalled. I returned his gaze fully, not actuated by any feeling of pridej but really because '[ could not turn away; those wondrou eyes enchaiued me so that I bad no will but-to reciprocate their glances, which, after the first few moments, were with drawn from me, only to be again lifted at quick in|prvals,-while mine were fascina ted somewhat as the poor bird’s who comes withiu the range of the serpent’s brilliant and steady vision. . He seemed, at last, either annoyed or amused by my steady scrutiny, for, lift ing his hat with acourtly air, he shot one contemptuously sarcastic expression from the glorious orbs, aud bowing with mock humility, turned on his heel and entered the station. I was completely abashed, but not an gry—how could I be—l—plain, awkward —who, although the possessor of a rich inheritance, could , not lay claim to one twentieth part of the grand beauty re vealed in the person of this man, not withstanding his ill-fitting and well-' worn.oiothes. "No,” I muttered, "not even in my most fortunate moments, and when arrayed in the most elaborate aud elegant toilet my taller could suggest.” After a moment’s hesitation, I resolved to apologize to him for my seemingly ihl».4oteiit ‘ -entered the station, and goin him, raised my hat and said respectfully, "Sir, allow me to beg pardon for mv rudeness, it was entirely unintentional. 1 ’ “ No apology required,” said he, inter ruptiug me; " can you tell me the name of this town 7" “ItleL ,” said X. “And the train which passes here?” ' “ Goes to London,” I answered. “ Bien," said he, jumping up from his indolent posture, bis eyes sparkling with eagerness—" can you tell me, Senor An fflee, how soon it will arrive ?” " Within three minutes,” exclaimed I, and added, “ pardon me if I seem imper tinent, butl see, although you speak Eng lish very well, you are a Spaniard, and probably a stranger in England. If X can be of any service to you, command me.|l “ You are very kind,” said he, and ad ded, holding out his band cordially, but you can do me no good. No good,” mut tered, ho, In his own language. “I have commenced alone, and 1 must finish by myself.” • . At this Juncture, the train came speed ing along, and, when it reached the sta tion, hardly conscious of what 1 was do ing, I seized the Spaniard’s band and drtiwjilmriltor mo Jiito one of tho car riages. He-seemed In no way surprised, but, throwing himself into, an opposite seat, folded his arms and relapsed into the same kind of reverie in which I had found him on the platform of the station at L . Tonsey Bitters. The train flew rapidly past neat towns and pleasant valleys, looking so refresh ing after the storm, for it had just ceased raining, and the last rays of the sun shin ing softly on cottage, spire and meadow, made a very agreeable picture in contrast to the two or three stormy days previous. I watched my companion for the fepaoe of a quarter of an hour, during which neither of us spoke; indeed, be had not once raised bis eyes since taking his seat, but mused, with folded arms, head bent down and Ups compressed, while his fore head was knitted into a towering frown. Altogether, his appearance presented that of. a man with some deadly purpose in view, and I involuntarily shuddered as I looked from him. At last be raised his head, and if I had been uneasy before, I was now thoroughly frightened, for .the glance which be bestowed on me was one of unmitigated hatred, either entertained for myself or ; for some other unhappy mortal who bad probably been the sub ject of his reverie. He must have noticed my emotion, for, suddenly relaxing into a bitter smile, he exclaimed,'"Fear not, amigo, 1 will noli harm you— l would rather serve you If In my power; but you have read my pur pose and must not betray me. Promise,"- he Cried, starting up, and raising his hand menacingly, then falling back itato his seat, with his glittering-eyes still fas tened upon me, ; What could Ido ?".il!p r aB all alone (for we were in a flrst-oloss carriage by our selves), and, as I thought,’ at the mercy of a madman. If I shouted for help, he. would seize and. strangle roe in a moment; for, what could my strength avail me against the gripe of a maniac ing all outward agitation, + answered, him In as calm a tone as I could assume:} "I will not betray you; but, tell met what it is that weighs so heavily upqri: you, and I give you ,my word of honor, as a gentleman, that no threats shall even extort from me your pame or wberea-i bouts, should secrecy be deemed advlsa-! Hie byyou.” - My companion hesitated a moment,: then replied: . “ I cannot tell you here, but wbed we, arrive in lioudou, I will bail on you and! confide to you a secret, which has beeu hidden In -my breast for tWenty-ttve, years ; c , which has, in that time, eaten , like a worm at my heart, that would long, ago have broken but. for the restless’ spin- i it engendered by that secret, whlolyyould! not let it—and, which is revengjt|'!Ra memberj”,said he, “ however,’, BisTeat ures again relaxing, giving to his counte nance a eoftenedaud beautiful expression —"I sm not mad," Startled at his wonderful perception, I exclaimed; ; “ How dld you know my thought? , I gave it no expression.” “Ah, you delude yourself,,my. friend— I have learned from sad’ experience, to read men by their faces, not their words CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY JUNE 6,1867.' eadiraL BY J&AN INOBLOW.

My guest, after having Imbibed one or two glassks of wine, drew back his chair from the table, and, facing the largegrate fire which was burnlngbrlghtly, and cast ing weird shadows over the dark panel work of.tbe more dlmly-llghted portions pf the rooib, relating to me the following strange stcky: s “ X was iforn in the Spanish town of El Ei'uch t which, in the Catalan tongue, signifies bridge; and is probably so called from there beingoue across a river in the town. My family lived in a beau tiful spot on the slope of a hill, from which we could see the far-famed moun tain of Montserrat, with its towering code like summit, and rendered illustrious by the legend connected with it, which is called the " Lcgenda de Neuatra Senora de. Montserrat." As this is probably quite familiar to you, it will be altogeth er unnecessary for me to mar its beauty by a rehearsal. . “Oar household consisted of my father, mother and four children, of whom I was the .eldest, and it \vas one of the most happy families ever blessed Try the. be nign Euler. Its members were drawn together by the strongest ties of love and religion, and it seemed that nothing could occur tosCverthem, but death; yet, in one short year—but lam anticipating. . “Iliad a cousin who was a frequent guest at our bouse, and whom we all used our utmost efforts to please and render happy—for he was of a moat gloomy dis position—never contented, but always murmuring against Providence on ac count of his poverty, and envying us the riches we possessed, ot which, we freely gave him, pitying his misfortune, bufro reiving no expressions of gratitude in re turn. O, when I think of him, the base villain; of the favors he received—the money he squandered—the tears his con tempt and snarling forced to my dear mother’s eyes, when they should have been blessed by of hla still greater cruel, bitter wrong, it seems ns though) if I had him before me, 1 would tear him to pieces, and throw his bleed ing flesh to the dogs, to quarrel arid glut over.” , The passion of Alvarez at this point had become so fierce that, he foamed at the mouth and gasped for breath, whilegreat drops started from his forehead and fell upon his clenched hands; but, at length mustering himself, he sat down, and, fil ling his glass with wfhe, drank the con tents at one draught. "My father procured the best masters for Roberto, and gave him a quarterly al lowance of money which, though the some as my own, did not satisfy this fiend. At first, he asked for more, and my in dulgent father gave it to him ; in a short time again he begged for another increase, when my father thought it his duty to in quire Into the state of his affairs, and as certain the cause of such extraordinary outlay. " At first, Roberto was sullen and would give no information ; but, by degrees, my father made him confess a tale which re vealed the enormity of hisexcesses and for his children, that ho ordered him from the house, and told him he would liquidate his debts on the condition of his never addressing one of us again As Roberto passed through the hall to leave our house, X was standing on thestaircase and saw his expression, and heard the muttered curse which, when he reached the door,-be pronounced upon my father giving more vehemence to it by shaking his clenched fist in the direction of mv ■ parent’s study. “ Our custom was to retire early to rest but, that night I could not. 1 dreaded some evil—an awful oppression seemed to be in the air, and I imagined I saw Ro berto’s face, with its revengeful scowl peering at me.from every point in the surrounding darkness, and heard his deadly imprecation muttered again and again. I paced up and down my room excitedly, my, knees shaking at every step, and endeavored to mock at my fan cies; but I was unsuccessful. I became feverish; my head ached, while!seemed to suffocate, as though in a close room, and en veloped by dense smoke. The op pression seempd to grow more and more. I sprang towards a window, when—hark I ” Surely, that la a stop,’’ I exclaimed, as the sound ora person moving stealthily past my door struck upon my strained ears. ‘ Now, God 1 in heaven aid me,’ I said, as I anticipated the danger I should expose myself to, for Roberto was eigh teen, three years, my senior, and much more powerful than I. "X seized a heavy cane that stood in a corner of the room, and opening the door as softly as I could, proceeded with speed to my father’s chamber; but neither Ro berto nor my father was there—only my mother, wbuslumbered heavily.

My senses for one moment seemed! to leave me, but the next, were goading me on to vengeance. I endeavored tol follow the retreating form of the monster,:. when a crimson stream spirting from my} mouth, arrested my progress, and I fell! senseless to the ground. When! became' conscious, I imagined that I had beenl possessed, by a fearful nightmare; the! scene of the previous night was toocruel to realize; but iu another moment, came conviction in the cries that reached myj languid ear. 1 * “I raised myself-and looking towards: the spot whence the doleful sounds pro-: needed} preoelved my mother, who, hear-, ing nay-outcry on encountering Roberto,! bad burst her chamber door. ‘Dead I —l they say.

That solemn vow I have nev er broken and never shall; never can I be satisfied until I have him in my grasp, and bear him sue for mercy. And this, Roberto knows full well.

The men bore a body which appeared to have been thrown down and run over by somq vehicle; it was lifeless and the blood was oozing from the left side and head. I ordered all, excepting the two who bore it, away, and bidding them en ter with their burdcu, preceded them up stairs to my appartmints. As they de poalted thelr weight upon the soia I wiiA startled by a shrill cry behind me. and the next moment, Alvarez darted past me, but when half way to the corpse, fell to the floor in a flit.

The in terval gave me time for thought, which could produce but one conviction: that . e "S 1 ® 99 * Weeding mass was none other than Roberto the murderer, and that his end had certainly come, as Aivarez pre dicted. but not as he had fondly dreamed. God, the Ail Merciful and J ust, had struck the villain with .his own hand, my unhappy friend had been delivered from the crimes and punishment Of Cain. The physician came promptly: but Al varez, on becoming conscious, rejected all proffers of aid, kuowing that they could not avail him, and earnestly begged that 1 a clergyman of his own faith might be 1 sent him, that he might make a last con fession of his trespasses, and die in peace. His request was immediately compiled with, and I had the satisfaction of seeing his countenance brighten into a raptui? ous smile, as I despatched a messenger to the house of the nearest priest.

Indeed, their frames are alike in no particular. There is not a bone in the Degree’s body 'which is relatively the same shape; size, artidulatUm, or chemi cally of the same.conpositiou, as that of the whitemun. The uegroe’s bones con tain a far greater per centage of calcare ous salt than those of the white man, even the negroe’s blood is chemically a very different fluid from that which courses iu the veins of the white man.— The whole physical organism of tile ne gro differ quite as much from the white hian’s os it does from that of the, chim panzee—that is iu his bones, muscles, uerveu, and Acres, the chimpanzee iias uot mueli further to progress to become a negro than a negro has to beome a white man. This fact science inexorably de monstrates. * * * Climate baa no more to do with the difference be tween the white man and negro than it has with that between the negro and chimpanzee, or that It has between the horse and the ass, or the eagle and the owl. ■ Each is a distinct and sepreate cre ation. The negro and white man wore created as different as the owl and the eagle. They were designed to fill differ ent plasea in the system of nature. The negro is no more a negro by accident or misfortune than the owl Is the kind of bird he is by accident or misfortune. The negro Is no more the white man’s brother than the owl is the sister of the eagle, or the ass is the brother of the horse. How stupendous, and yet how simple is the doctrine that the Almighty Maker of.the universe has created inherent species of the lower animals, to fill the different places and offices In the grand scenery of nature."- ' . . The I.oat Man In tbe Barber sbop. We have seen many illustrations of misery, many that .move the hardest heart to pity; but nothing can be more touch ing lo an observer, nothing better defines misery, than a man in a barber shop, with a dozen of so ahead of him; waiting to be shaved. • It is impossible forany one who never has experienced it to know how much nerve is required to pass successful ly through this ordeal. Different natures; of course, experience different degrees of misery as they wait. “ The poor but vir tuous young man, strngglingwith a mous tache” (the fading hue of which baa brought him again to the tapsorlal artist); having an engagement with Susan—who has told, him, ‘‘anything, butafelter as isn’t uu time”—can probably be put down as the subject of most abjeot wretched ness and despair, as he.enters and looks around upon “less miserables” who are “ ahead” of him, the last of whom min gles with bismisery's grim satisfaction that some one comes after him. The young man would rather “dye" at once thau be subjected to the suspense, he must endpre.
