It is the first week in August; and July has been damp enough to re lax every tbingin nature; damp enough even to. relax the will of the indomit able woman who ih tramping along tho three miles of dusty road that inter vene between her village homo and the small market town where she can got butler at a reasonable price. Butter at a reasonable price is a great consideration with IViss Pauietf; so aro eggs; so are meat, and bread, and house rent. So, indeed, is everything. For she is “ a maiden all forlorn,” try ing to live like a gentlewoman on a very limited income. For ten years now she has pursued her neat little inoffensive way in this village of Bingham, which is striving hard to debase itself into a villa-sur rounded town. Her house is the end house of a pic turesque, unpretentious little crescent, which can boast of a good-sized, well kept garden in front, and-which is shut off from the high road and the gaze of, passers-by by a high red brick wall that is well crowned with ivy. The house is exactly like every other houso in the crescent, in reality. But it looks very different to the others. Its windows ore brighter, its brass door knob has a higher polish than those of the other houses in the crescent. Hhe is rather more anxious than usu al to-day as to the results of her mar keting at Balmngham. A young niece has come down—a fastidious young lady, who requires to be daintily served without at all considering at what cost the service is rendered. The young niece is at homo now in the pretty, bowery room in tho house in the crescent that Ls parlor, and dining room and drawing room and boudoir, all in one. This sluggishly sjoft air makes Miss Minuio Ward sleepy; so she reclines while her aunt goes in search of butter for tho fair young be ing’s tea. She is very pretty, very pleasant to look at, albeit she is bored and hot, and sleepy, and slightly cross, on this slug gishly, soft warm day. Curled up like a cat, on the sofa in the shadiest corner of the room, she is lazily watching the shadows come and go through the half drawn drab Venitian blinds. “How can they have the patience to go on do ing that ?” she wonders. How can any ono have the patience to go on doing anything down here?” She gets up as she half mutters this wonder, and stands at the window, balancing her self, her well shaped hands planted firmly on her well shaped hips, In a semi-defiant attitude, that would have called forth her grandmother’s reproba tion. She is “ tall and stately,” and slio lias nice eyes, and pretty yellowish hair. Evidently sho knows how to bavo tier clothes made, and how to put them on in a way that will make berat least remarkable. Her hair is tumbled now, for sho has been asleep.for an hour; but winari its yellow luxuriance is toned down a little, we can easily imagine that th e Jet dagger may stab her tresses bccomiiugly enough. At present, the weap on looks out of place. She- has a natural turn Up nose, and an acquired toss of the head; and those two things have to do very hard work in Minnie's service. For she coucelyes that in order to do them justice sho mu.at ho bowitchingly saucy in manner. To bo brief, Miss Ward is spending heo holidays with her aunt for conve nt .ence sake, and sorely against her own s weet will. She la a governess, satis- CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1872. fled with her situation because she does not see a means of bettering it yet j but keenly on the lookout for promotion. Ajt times, when no one isiooking, there is a good deal of weariness in .the fresh, fair, young face; and a good deal of discontent and disgust with the world for not recognizing her claims better in the young high spirit. Even now, when she turns away from tho window with a sudden remembrance of hor tousled hair, and tho onus that was on her of being neat by tea time, she ejac ulated impatiently— ■ “.Oh, dear! a week more of this; and then go back to that horrid teaching!” She goes up yawning and weary to the little white nest of a room that her aunt has given up to her—the aunt re tiring herself into a room in the rear of the house, barren and arid by compari son. It is time to put this maiden aunt lie fore you. Bhe is almost at the threshold of her own door when Minnie goes up to adorn for the sacrifice, as she considers it, of a " regular set ten" at six o'clock. Miss Paulett has walked fast, and has come home heavily laden, and the air is oppressive. But In spite of the weariueas of the flesh, she brightens up in spirit ns she comes through the crescent-garden,, and hopes heartily that “Minnie will.en joy the treats.” She has been living ten years in this secluded village?alone; and her young niece of twenty culls her “an old maid.” But, in spite of these things, she is a woman with n long lease of life before her, in all human probability. For she is healthy, and only just past her thirtieth birthday. It seems almost a pity that this probably long life should be lonely as the last ten years of it have been. She is net tail and lissom,- like her twenty year old niece; but she is erect, graceful, admirably proportioned. Her face is clear compioxioned, delicate-fea tured, brightened by a pairpf nut brown eyes that are precisely the same-color as the luxuriant hair that is wrapped in a clever coll at the back of her head. Al together, sbe is a' pretty and a. prepos sessing woman, and why she should be lonely still, is a marvel to many people. She looks around the room, and a shade of annoyance crosses her face swiftly. It is one of her attributes to be daintily neat. The small room, that is at the same time dining hall and saloon, is aP ways fresh and fair, and scrupulously well arranged when she Is alone; now the cushions are piled up untidily, the sofa-rug is trailing on the floor; books, newspapers, magazines, and a half-made white muslin tunic are Iltered about on diflerent chairs; and worst of all, in her progress from the room Miss Ward has upset a light wicker-stand of flowers, which has stood in safety just Inside the door during the whole of the summer. Mias Paulette has just fulfilled a por tion of her mission in life by clearing up after her niece, when that young lady comes undulating into the room. Her hair Is tousled still; but now according to certain rules; and the big Jet dagger stabs it with a well-defined aim. She' has put on fresh laces and fresh ribbons. The laces are not real, and the ribbons are poor and flimsy ; but her youth and beauty triumph over these facts, and cause them to look bright aud becoming. “ Oh! you’re back, Aunt Catharine? I’m glad of that; X want you to gosut on the green for a stroll with me.” From her bedroom window Minnie has seen a manly form—the only.manly formln the place—take the direction of the green. Hence her desire for exercise. She would look upon it as a willful dis regard of a providential opportunity if she did not go out now. “My dear Minnie, just consider that I am only just back from Balalugham, and that I am rathe'r tired. Ho let me have ray tea first.” “ Why did you go? What could in duce you to go rushing off in the heat of this afternoon?” Minnie feels disap pointed, and so speaks crossly. “I went to get butter and fruit,” point ing to those delicacies. “Butter and fruit!” Minnie shrugs her supple shoulders. “I’d rather go without them auy day; why didu’t you send that grampus Bridget? If she walked more, she wouldn’t puff me out of my mind nearly every time she conies into the room with her hard breathing.” Miss Paulett laughs. “Bridget had her work to do. And what has put you out, my little lady? Have some tea, dear.” , . “No thank you aunt.” When Minnie first came, the still young aunt had re quested that her uieoe would call her “Kate;” but Minute very decidedly re fused to do it. “There shall be no mis take about ray beingthe niece, and.years the younger of tbe two,” she sagaciously determined. "No, thank you, aunt, there's some thing unholy in tea at this time of day, unless you dine after it. I’ll go put on the green ; you can join me by and by." Then she half repentsherserf of herrude ness, and adds, “ I .shall like some of that nice cream cheese for supper If I may have it.” “You may have what you like, dear; yes I will Join you by and by,” the aunt says good-temperedly. So Minnie’s conscience feels clear, and she rings for Bridget to bring her hat and blue llama shawl, the ends of which she will presently toss over her shoulder In a jaunty way that has neither the merit of being pretty nor uncommon, but that Is immensely popular with young ladles. Minnie walks on perfectly satisfied! with herself, her head waddling up and down occasionally in little fluttering paroxisms of conceit. The color deepens in the face that she holds very much up, and a little oh one side, as she steps on to the green and the well-opened blue eyes dance. For there, a hundred yards ahead of her, is the manly form, reclining on one of the seats. Unluckily the manly nose is turned away from her that it may suill’ in so much of breeze as' there Is. Minnie has came to Bingham on an unacknowledged mission. It is her bounden duty to her self, she feels, to do something definite during this campaign. The only “some thing definite” that a girl of Minnie’s calibre cares to achieve is matrimony. Her object Is well before her now; but It, would hardly do for her to go up and sit down by him, and let him see that she has followed blip on purpose. She turns slightly, therefore, and saunters along, skirting the green until she Is on the other side of It, quite In his Hue of vision. And now she knows that her work la done. In a few minutes she hears footsteps behind her. Another minute and the manly form is by her side, taking off Its bat and looking ridiculously pleased. It Is Mr. Boughtou, the' curate in charge of Bingham—a good lookiug man of one or two and thirty. Up to within the last twelvemonth Mr. Broughton had steadily advocated the celibacy of the priesthood. But since that tiine he has modified his views; and this change has been attri buted in a great measure to his intima cy with Miss Paulett. Now Bingham did not grudge him lijs particular at-, tentions to the handsome, fresh-hearted, clear-headed, unaffected woman. Oh the contrary, Bingham declared that they would be a delightful pair. But It was. intolerant to the daring of the stranger within the gates who flirted at him with such effrontery. Ho is quite conscious that she is flirt ing with him. He sees that she puts herself at-her best as soon as ho ap proaches her; that she makes her eyes sparkle, and looks admiringly at his eyes, and he likes if. , It is useless to deny it. He does like it. He has indulged in many power fully worded Jeremiads against Jeze bels generally; he has cautioned the young men of nis flock against Circe in all her forms. But now, when Minnie Ward puts a feather in her hat at him, and wraps a blue shall mysteriously about her lithesome shoulders at him, ■and gazes with a look that only misses being a look of love by one hairsbrcadth of intervening modesty at him, he likes it. His eyes are very fine, and his ap pearance and manners very gentleman ly and refined, and his prospects are good, and she is sick to death of teach ing. Given such conditions in such a situation, and it is not difficult to guess what will ensue. “ Is not Miss Paulett coming out this evening?” he asks, when they have taken a turn around the green to the dismay and disgust of all the occupants of all the villas. “Aunt Catharine? No, I couldn’t drag her out; so I braved a solitary stroll. I shan’t have many more walks on the green.” “ Why not?” he asks with a qualm. “ I’m going away next week. Mam ma will have me home again,” She has a morbid horror of its being known here that she is out as a govern ess; and she has made her aunt} vow silence on that point. To “ mamma,” therefore it became necessary to impute a greed for her child’s society which amounts to selfishness. They are on the verge of the green now, at the farthest end from the vil lage. The ruins of an old abbey are in sight. Beyond the abbey there is a wood. She tosses her pretty head in the direction of the wood, and says,— “ How sweet it w;ouid be of me to take dear lazy old A.unt Catharine a bouquet of wild flowers! ” A faint spark of loyalty to charming Miss Paulett is still alive in Bough ton’s breast. , He is preparing to say something that shall testify to his ad miration for, and sympathy with, Miss Paulett’s tastes, when Minnie adds,— “ She is so fond of things—of cats and flowers; it’s a pity she hasn’t thing belter to love instead of wasting all her life bemoaning some one who didn’t care for her.” The solo remaining spark of loyalty dies out. “Has she done that? Let us go and get the wild flowers, Miss Ward; I know where the best live In that wood.” “ Can you spare the time?” she asks softly. “Oh! hpw good of you! My last walk at Binham will be my pleas antest one. Mr. Boughton has a maiden aunt liv ing with him who keeps his house, and drives off the unwary who approach him when she is near. She has for some time had her auntly eye on Min nie, and Minnie Ims a delicious little sense of satisfaction now in having brought things to this pass. No aunt, neither his nor hors, shall, come be tween them now. She aits upon a stile, and ho stands close by her aide, and «the rays of the setting sun ataam through the leafy boughs, and glorify her head. It is all very pleasant; but Minnie feels, in her own forcible idiom, “ that more pleas antness won’t pay.” For a few moments: She forced her self to contemplate each side of the shield. If she marries Mr. Bough ton she will have to lead a Binham life; and when he Is. her husband she will not be able to inftise an element of excitement Into her Binham life by flirting with him. It will be dull, probably—but— “ But it will bo better than horrid teaching,” she reminds herself. She has no more sense of moral responsi bility concerning what she is about to do than a child has of knocking down a house of cards. “I’ve altered my mind about the flowers 1 gather to-night, Mr. Bough ton. They must bo for your study.— Will you have them ?” “Will I not?” His faco is in the shade, and looks ■very well there. Minnie adjusts her head at a becoming angle, and makes another effort. “Aunt Catharine, with that good, serviceable common sense of hors, would jeer at me for being romantic, if she heard mo say that X should like to take a tiny hit of this stile away to wear in a locket as a charm.” Ho knows that she means him to think that sho loves the stllu because ho is leaning upon it with her, in what a pool would call the “gloaming.”— Ho knows all she means, and likes it. Ho takes his knifo and defrauds tho lord of tho manor by cutting a square inch out of tho stilo. Ho would de fraud twenty lords of tho manor of twenty times tho value of this square inch of stile, at this juncture, to please Minnie Ward. With rather a shaky hand ho pro ceeds to cut his initials, "E. 8.,”. on the little bit of wood. Ho trims it, and' smooths it; and then he looks at her. She gives him one look; and he for gets all his views as to tho propriety of tho clergy being a celibate body. “ May I cut lyours, too ?” ho asks-; and she bends down, her head and whispers “ Yes,” and when she comes down from tho stile she is engaged to him.- As she leans upon his arm she makes him understand that life will be a wil derness to her until she has. the right and the power to so lean always. He has his own views about short engage ments ; he disapproves of them; but he thinks that her sweet soul trembles at the prospect of ever so brief a separa tion from him. And ho believes it— good, young priest as he is, "Then it had better bo soon,” he says eagerly. Why he says it, he can’t exactly define;.but be-gathers up im pressions that had bettor be soon, and speaks from the impulse they gave him. “ Oh,' if you wish it 1” Of course he’ hished it. Suddenly he found himself wishing it very much, and feeling that all his preconceived ideas on the subject were utter folly and empty humbug. Minnie would be. a crown of honor to a husband; and he, Edward Boughton, would crown, him-, self as soon as possible. She is very full of pride of her success J as sbe steps out from the shade of the wood, on the open green; Her head settles back ioto a satisfied wobble as she sees Aunt Catharine approaching them. Mias Paulett comes towards th'e pair iu the dim light; aud as she comes ou. It is made manifest to her, even In the dim light, that, something has hap pened. oitaptek n, For four days Minnie has been very happy and very amiable. Edward Boughton manages to make duty and inclination agree wonderfully well. — When he goes abroad ou missions of mercy Minnie accompanies him—a fash ionable looking angel in different colored cambrics. Her aunt Kate Baqlett, has been told the great news, and has been cordial and cheery. His aunt Miss Boughton, has been told, and has been morose and gloomy. Minnie is not one bit disturbed by either woman's state, or expression of feeling. She merely remarks to Edward: “ Your aunt looks so sour about It that one would think it was a crime to love you ; as if I could help it!” Minnie means marriage as soon as possible; and now, on the evening of the fourth day of her engagement, she is feeling a little annoyed and perplexed because the -time is not definitely fixed yet. “ You might speak to him, Aunt Cath arine.” “About namlug the day? No, roy dear; it’fl for him to speak to you about that.” “But what’s the good of waiting?— What are we walitlng for?” Minnie pouts. “You haven’t waited long,” Kate reminds her. “ No; and I don.’t mean to wait long, that’s another thing; we shall not know each other a bit the better while he is down here, aud I’m going ou with that horrid, horrid teaching. Idon’tseewhy we need wait.” , “ You can hardly be the one to sug gest a speedy marriage,” Kate says dry ly ; “ but I have no doubt when Mr. Boughton realizes that you considoryour present one a life of slavery, ho will speedily rescue you from it.” Minnie flushes. “ I don’t want him to know anything about my present life,” she.says, with an effort to seem at ease. Kate flashes up a glance from the pre serving pan over which she has been bonding assiduously durlng-the conver sation. “ You don’t mean to say that you havn't told him ?” “ I have not. Why should I ? Men are quite apt enough to think they confer a favor on a girl by proposing marriage. If the girl’s a governess, they know they confer a favor by taking her out of bondage 1 ” “He ought to know It. If you don’t tell him, I will,” Kate says, skimming off the scum vigorously. Don’t bo malicious and spiteful because you have failed to get him yourself," says Minnie. - “ You’d serve your own ends (I know what they are, Minnie) better by telling, him a truth that is honorable to you ; but rest assured that I will never inter fere between you after that—that very coarse cruel speech.” It Is settled between the lovers soon that they were to marry in a year. By that lime Minnie will be twenty one, and he will have a suitable home to re ceive her in. This delay will enable him to settle bis aunt elsewhere. “ She broke up her home to come down here with me,” he explains. “ She’ll be desperate fussy about a house. I know she will keep you un settled os long os she can.” His greatest comfort (be is dreadfully in love,) when Minnie is gone is to goto her Aunt Kate, and talk about her. Kate Is merciful enough to let him wonder on uninterruptedly, as a rule ; but one day she does hint to him that Minnie Is but mortal. “ Minnie can ill bear stagnation and suspense,” she says. “ I shall be glad when you can take your holiday and go and see her. You'll jgo soon, won’t you ?” Something in her tone eels him think ing. It does not exactly alarm him, but it startles him, “Is she ill ? Have you heard”—But Paulelt interrupts him impattutly before he can say a word more. “III? Ob, no? If there were any thing tbe matter, my slater would have written for me to go and help to nurse her. I rarely hear when she is well.” , “T’woro long to toil and vain to hear” about ail he does in order to get a free week from tils parish, He will not drop a single service; but lie must see Min nie.

Surprises are odious 'things under the> most propitious clroumstancss. He no sooner is across the threshold of tho earthly paradise than he feels that it would hove been better far If ho had nor tilled his coming to tho presiding perl. Mrs. Ward, Minnie’s mamma, lives In lodgings In Vanstttart, Kensington.- Vausittart Terrace Is |more than rather out of tho. way; but when you have wriggled yourself into tho right path that leads to it, it is pleasant enough. ■Minnie’s teaching is in the neighbor hood. She gets home generally about six o'clock. For several days she has had an escort home —a soldior-cousln of the girls she is Instructing. ■ Whoa Edward Boughton is an nounced, Mrs, Ward falls into a par oxysm of. bewilderment. Minnie’s lover; and there’s nothing ready for dinner 1 And Minnie may arrive at any moment, suspiciously attended; and oh 1 what shall she do ? Mr. Bdiighton asks one or two awk ward questions, she parries them, an swers them deftly and sweetly. Pres ently there is a knock at the front door; and as Edward goes to the win dow, Mrs. Ward gets herself out of the room, “ to see about tea.” Minnie comes into the hall radiant; an enamored young man follows her.; and Mrs. Ward meets them with de spair printed on her matronly brow.— Sho whispers to Minnie, and Minnie is staggered. Eor a moment only, though ; at the end of the moment sho whispers to Mr. ''Gascoigne, and dis misses him. Edward Boughton, standing at the window sees the handsome young sol dier officer walking away; but he does not for one moment associate that son of Mars with the fresh, fair young creature who presently bounds into the room, and seeks to make him believe that she is grateful that heaven has made him such a man as he is. Up to the presept moment, Mr. Gas coigne, though he is on the brink,'has not taken the plunge. Ho is rapidly preparing, to fall at her feet; but he has not fallen yet. Therefore if Ed ward Boughton has come to plead , for an earlier wedding day, Minnie will bo fidelity itself to him. She manages very cleverly, sho con siders, during Edward’s visit. She writes a pretty note of apology to her employer, pleading a bronchial affec tion as the cause of her non-appear ance. She writes a pathetic little note to her martial adorer, telling him. that, fora while at least, it is better that they should not meet—a note that is worded in a way that loads him to suppose that her mother has been in terfering, and to vow that lie will pro pose to the sweetest, jolliest little girl in the world the next time he sees her. Minnie holds Boughton’s heart in the hollow of her little, unscrupulous hand. Sho does not spare him a single look, word, art, that may allure him on to love her more and more. Sho is full of coaxing, pretty, caressing ways; and these she plays off upon him as perti naciously as Kathleen played hers off upon St. Kevin. He is desperately in love with her. Not a doubt of her be ing full as desperately in love with him has even clouded his mind for a mo ment. Ho goes back to Binlmm at tho end, of this holiday, a happy man. For three days after his return from that sojourn in paradise lie hears regularly from Minnie. The fifth and sixth mornings are blanks. Ho begins to look worn and anxious. On the morning of the eight day he gets a letter in the.well-known, dearly loved hand writing and when he has read a few lines of it, his face, which had been pale before, becomes ghastly white. But he says nothing to his aunt, who is watching him pitifully; and her prophetic heart tolls her that he has “ got a blow from that girl.” A letter goes from him to Minnie by return of post, such as might melt a atone. But it is powerless to melt tho hear of a heartless girl. Then he waits for three days in silence, with such passionate love preying upon him, that he gets to look so miserably ill that every one In tho place colls on Miss Panlett in tho hope of hearing that the lovers have quarreled. On the ’ third day he has another letter from Minnie—a conclusive letter that shocks all hope out of his heart and all belief in the good, pure Jove of a woman out of his mind. It is tho. topic, in Binham for nine days; for It leaks out as such invaria bly do. At the end of nine days people cease to look as if they are thinking about it when they meet him. The aunt and niece cross swords by post, and wound each other freely.— Minnie is to be Mrs. Gascoigne In a week or two; and 11 garrison town life will suit her much better than prancing through the parish,” she says. But in spite of this depreciatory speech, Mrs. Gascoigne feels a sore pricking at her heart, when, two years after she achieves her own destiny, she" reads that “ old Aunt Catharine and Edward Boughton are married.” 0 How to Get Sleep.—How to get sleep is to many persons a matter of high importance. Nervous persons, who are troubled with wakefulness and excitability, usually have n strong tendency of blood to the brain, with cold extremities. The pressure of blood on the brain keeps it in a stimu lated or wakeful state and the pulsa tions In the head are often painful.— Let such arise and chafe the body and extremities with a crash towel, or rub sharply with hands to promoto circula tion, and withdraw the excessive amount of blood from the brain and they will fall asleep in a few minutes. A cold bath or a sponge bath aud rub bing, or a good run or a rapid walk In the open air, or going up and down stairs a foWstlmes bolore retiring, aid in equalising circulation and promoto sleep. Tlitiso rules are simple and easy of application in castle or cabin, and may minister to the comfort of thou sands who would freely expend money for an anodyne to promoto “ nature’s sweet restorer, balmy sleep,” Rates of Advertisings. l ag. |3fi 00 6" 7 50 1 y 10 00 Twelve 11 For Exeo For Atull For Absls For Year!

If you want to know what manner of young man De Witt Clinton was, you have only to read the, official report b f the duel which ho fought In 1802 with John Bwartwout, at Weehawkeu. Clin ton was thou opposing Aaron Burr, and Bwartwout accused him of being actuated In his opposition only by selfish and pei sonal motives- " ! "He in a liar, a scoundrel and a vil lain!” exclaimed the hot-headed Clin ton. 1 A challenge followed, and & duel Was fought. X suppose It was the most:re markable affair of the kind that ever oo ourredr-out of Ireland. The first fire doing no.harm to either antagonist, one of the seconds asked Swartwout " Are you satisfied, eir ?” , . ’ "J am not,” said ho, with more blunt .ness than courtesy. They .fired a second time without eilect. . "Are you satisfied, sir,” asked.the second. “No!” thundered Swartwout, The men fired a third time without effect; when the gentleman again politely asked-Mr. Swartwout If he was satisfied. ,“I am not,” was the reply | “ neither shall I 6e until that apology Is mode ■ which I demanded. Until then we must proceed.” Swartwoiit’s. second then,.presented a paper containing the apology 'demanded, for Clinton’s signature, saying; “ We cannot spend olir time in conver sation. This paper'most-be signed, or proceed.” ', '' '■ ' “ ' ' <1 will not sign any paper on the sub ject,” said Clinton, with flfiifriess and diHoity. “I have no animosity against Mr. Swartwout. I will willingly shake hands, and agree to meet on the score of former friendship.” The fourth lire then took place, when Clinton’s ball struck his obstinate antag onist in the left leg, below tiid knee. “Areyou satisfied, sir?” the wounded, man was again asked. r, ... Standing firmly at his post, he an swered, "It Is useless,ln repeat the ques tion. My determination is .fixed, anil f beg we may proceed.” . When the surgeon Was extracting the ball from theoppbsite side of Swartwout’s leg, Clinton agaid declared that he had no animosity against Swartwout; that he was sorry for .what had .passed, and was willing to go forward,"shake hands, and bury the circumstances in oblivion. Swartwout, however, standing erect at. his place, insisted upon the written up,.l ogy. A fifth time they fired, and Clin ton's ball struck his antagonist in the same leg, a little below the former wound. “ Are you satisfied, sir?” asked the second. “lam not, sir!" replied Swartwout; “proceed.” Clinton then left his station, throw down his pistol, and declared that lie would fight no more* Whereupon Swartwout, turning to his second, asked what be should do, to which the second replied : “ There Isnothihg'furtherleft for you now but to have your wounds dressed.” So the combat ended, and the two par • ties returned In the barges to the city. Such was Clinton at thirty-three, when he had already been a member of tho Legislature, and was about to-enter the Senate of the United States. He was brave to rashness and ambitious beyond measure; but he lived up to the standard of his day, and acquitted himself of every trust with honor and distinction. Another Great Engineering Work —A contract has lately been signed between the directors of the 81. Gothard Railway, Switzerland, ; and M. L.

If tho completion of . the work is from any cause delayed beyond the contract time $l,OOO a dav are to be "forfeited. If tho delay reaches beyond, six months, the forfeit is then to be Increased to $2,000 a day. The contractor deposits $1,600,- 000 as security for the faithful perform ance of the work.'
