ns when he first started. He felt himsclfl
debased, and his course was downward.
The warning voice of his good old master
was forgotten, and entering the first low
cabin on his route, he again drank of_ his
enemy—rum. Thoughts of his bet rothed,
of his future prospects, would occasionally,
like sunbeams, dart pcross his mind, then
all would bo dark. Still lie crank, and as
he drew near to the home of her whom he
loved, his steps Were staggering, and his
head reeled from the effects of the poison.
He had been tempted, and relying upon
his own strength rather than the grace of
God, had fallen. The first false step was
taken, and hope. was shrouded m the
darkness of despair. |
Carrie Church loved Edward Howard—
vea, loved him with all the strength of
her woman’s nature. She viewed him on
ly through the medium of love, and all
appeared 6 bright. ’Tis true he had one
fault, still her faith absolved it. But her
stern old father regarded it as a fault
which was to him a barrier not to bo re
moved. Young Howard loved his glass,
and when the father of the girl he cherish
ed reasoned with him on the folly ol his
course, he would treat it lightly, and in a
tone of carelessness pass it by.
| “Edward,” said old Mr. Church, “my
1 child shall never wed a man who indulges
in intoxicating drinks. It is useloss to ar
gue the matter; refrain from your enemy
and my daughter shall be yours.
Loving Carrie devotedly he pledged
himself t 6 abstain from rum, and going to
work for old Mr. Brian, ho had saved up
sufficient to buy a small farm. The re
ports of his altered conduct were time al
ter time told to the loving girl and the
honoful old man. The time of his proba
tion wanted hut a day of closing when he
started from the house of his employer.—
Carrie’s heart was beating high with joy
ful anticipations, and with a trusting sou
she looked for the return of her lover.
Ono night as she was sitting.engnged in
deep thought, and now and then would
cast a glance at her sorrowing father, a
low knocking was heard at the door
while at the same time the pitiful whine
of a dog sounded in the air. In a moment
she sprung upon her feet and opened the
door; but she uttered n wild and fearful
shriek, and fell fainting in her father s
af As the old man gazed upon the object
which had so alarmedlns daughter.ho

LIFE OF A COQUETTE.
The beautiful Baronno B— was a co
quetto and a widow, and was too proud for
tho precious freedom of widowhood to wish
to risk it a socond time in tho silken bonds
of wedlock. So, strcngthing her weak
woman’s heart with the shield.of universal
coquetry, she bade defiance to the sighs
and vows with which she was attacked.
She laughed at the creduilty of her vic
tims, and despised them that they could sue
so long and so vainly; but in their tri
umphs she lost tho better attributes of tho
woman. She was a rose amid a world ol
briers, and the briers sprang from the
depth of her own heart. Thus abusing
all her woman’s gifts—her beauty, her
youth, and her wit—she trampled them
under foot as worthy offerings to her own
pride of soul. The only recollection our
widow kept of matrimony was, that it had
furnished her with n tyrant and a fortune.
Her husband had beon cold, stern and in
flexible ; but the fates decreed that she
should soon be released from him. and
she was left blooming and beautiful, the
cynosure of every gaze— among tho men,
be it understood. Perhaps;it was not
wholly her own fault that she was such a
despot. Her bright eye gave laws to her
crowd of followers. She rewarded with
a smile, sho could punish with.a singe
word, exterminate with an epigram, exile
with a look. Sho felt her power and used
it Men feared her wit, while they were
led capti.ve.by her beauty. Women hated
her, but could not detect a flaw m the
snow of her character worse than that she
was a cold-hearted coquette. There was,
however, one among her train of adorers
who had vowed to himselftowin tnis lady,
and he threw himself heart and soul, at
the coquette’s feet, sure that the reality of
his own feelings must conquer the frivol
ous caprice of her character. He was a
heart and feeling. “ Love’s greatest mir
acle is to slay coquetry,” said our unfor
tunate lover when he left the salons where
his mistress reigned supreme. Hut to
Mademe B a secret voice murmured in
tones of rejoicing—“ What happiness to
love no one and to seo one s self beloved
by all!” ..
But what misery to the lover to see his
worshipped one smiling upon alt the same
beaming smile 1 Hide thy jealousy from
the scornful eves of this coquette, sighed
the beating heart. Of all ills which love
brings, jealousy is tho one for which «•
man has the least sympathy. And so the
Count Stcphano hid his misery in flight.
Absence is the tomb of slight passions,
but it fans tho sparks of a real affection
into a flame. He, therefore, as it was but
natural that he should, us quickly returned,
and laid his affection once more at her
feet. Count Stephano was not now to be
denied; she had listened too long she
had gone too farto recede—she should hear
him. He continued bis persevering ad
dress, till one morning she sent him this

“She shall notescape me thus, he said,
“the coquette shall learn what ius.to deal
with men’s hearts. 1 will follow her.
He was proscribed, his estates confiscat
ed, and A price set upon his head. He,
therefore, hazarded much m euterln S Ita '
lv again. The Count Stephano had taken
on .active part in some revolutionary pro
ceedings in his native land; and, having
rendered himself obnoxious to the Austri
an government, escaped with his Itle and
a moderate fortune to France.
The Baronne had been some short time
in Milan, when, ope day, Con. V s
chasseur announced a French traveler,
who desired to see Madame B— •=- at once.
“ His name 1” said the lady.
«« He will not give it.”

scarcely repress A smile nt his strange
position, although he felt that he> stoodl in a
perilous situation ; and the lady suffered
all the horrors of intense anxiety, now but
imperfectly veiled beneath her usual gay
and careless air. For the firsttime in her
life, our coquette felt that she had to reply
before God nnd man for the life which her
levitv had placed in jeopardy. She pass
ed the night in pacing her chamber, in
weeping bitter tears, in prayers which
rose from the heart, and not the lips. At
early dawn next day the general entered
her chamber. She was already dressed ;
she had not laid down during"'the night;
her face was pale, her eves were lull ot
tears. Her uncle stood fora moment, and
looked upon her sternly and sadly. “Cam
illa,” said he, at length, “1 have had news
for you. This cousin of yours is no 1’ rench
man. Ho is an Italian noble, condemn
ed by the justice of my master, the Em

wantonly trifled with him and ho has been

“Never see him again !” gasped the Ba
ronne, clasping her hands ; “then am
indeed punished by a just Heaven .
“The police have tracked him to my

them, und have myself examined him, and
heard the whole history of your wrongs

rest him even here. At this very moment
he ought to be dead.”
A gun boomed in the distance, and the
unhappy Camilla fainted. When she re
covered her consciousness, she saw the
Count kneeling by her side, and chafing
her hands.’”
“Av, weep,” said ho, in n tender voicc--
“weep, for your cruelty had almost had
its*victim. 'But 1 forgive you, ;
we always forgive those we love. .
“Up, up my children,” cried the Aus
train general; “enough of looks, sighs
and tears. Make love ns far away from
Milan as possible. I have risked my head,
sir, to save yours ; you shall thank me
for it when you are safe bnck again in
France. Be off at once, and heaven pros-

V “And my death-warrant’ said the
Count. „ . ,
“I must regret that I received it too

when those who flatter now will leave her

Benefits of Advertising.— lfeither
Washington, Tremont and Hanover streets
are examined closely their history for five
years past, it will be found that those who
have advertised most judiciously, have done
the best business beyond all chances for
comparison. On every pointt the principle
is a fixed one. It admits of no doubt -
it is based on clear reason and visible facts,
and is not to be controverted. Advertis
ing consists in plainly telling every body
what you have got, what it is, what it is
worth, and all other necessary particulars.
This is told at the fireside, the office, the
bench. People go to such places as natur
ally, almost, as they breathe. They knot
where to go, and though a hundrcdpbc
must be passed, in which, possibly, the
very article wonted, is to be had, yet it is
\hJadvertiser who will get the doller, the
profit, the reputation. Boston Bee. °^
P The success of those who advertiso
tensively in this city, has not been.less
sure and certain than those of Bo ton
Take, for example, Jayne, Shepherd, Reed
andohostof others. Besides cuffing them
selves rich, it is a singular f aU » that
vertising increases their business to such
an extent as to enable them to keep» hrg
stocks and sell cheaper goods than those
who save a sixpence by keeping out of the
papers and lose dollars by lack oftrade.-
A P man can get along without advertising
and so can a wagon go without grousing,
but it goes hard. — Phila Sun.

battle, and one ofthe greatest battles 100 of
modern history, the crowning P of

NEW OVERLAND ROUTE TO THE PACIFIC.
Wrycive below a letter from Col. Miles,
Third Infantry, U. S. A., now stationed
in New Mexico, malting known that u new
i,as9 has been discovered from Albuquer
que, seventy-five miles from Santa bo,
New Mexico, to San Francisco, California,
a journey of twenty-five days for loaded
wagons. It will be recollected that the
emigrants from this place, in 1849, pnsse
through Albuquerque on their journey to
California. Had the new pass then been
known, the trip from this place would have
been made in two months.
The information in regard to the dis
covery of this new route, which, no doubt,
is throne known as Walker s paM, settle,
the question ns to the route for the Pacific
Railroad—direct from tort Smith, via Al
buquerque, to San Francisco, Cn ' lfo ™‘“-
The route by El Paso, through the Mex
ican Provinces, is now out of the question.
The road can now be built all the way

According to the report of Captain
Marcy, made in 1849, the road to Santa
Fe is as good as any road in the known
world the distance being 850 miles from
? o [t Smith to Santa Fe. Albuquerque is
about the same distance— following the
Santa Fe road to the first set.foments in
New Mexico, whore the road forks to the
£ goes to Albuquerque. We look forward
w th B groat anxiety to the report ofCap

which gives an interesting account of the
expedition to the head-waters of Red Ri -

A month ago I wrote toyour Represen
tative in Congress, Mr. Johnson, awjtol
him of the near route discovered from Al
buquerque, in New Mexico, to Sa "J™.
Tm o!^ame U J3ei e o a f D latitude 35 and
ly ten degrees in longitude from the form
/r For one hundred milies east of Alb"
nueroue a road can be made without troub
fo asVod ns could be found m any coun
trv g This is as far East as has been ex
nfored. No doubt the balance of the wa>
fa good as that known, for Major Sieen.o.
the B lst Dragoons, says he has explore -
west of Fort Smith and north ° f
to the Salt Plains— upwards of 350 miles
about half wav)-and at all times he founu
good water, plenty of wood.and fine graz
that the troopsshould open this
and locate four posts on it. One on
Pecos, crossing parallel 30 deg north
itude the other on the waters of the Urn
adian, near parallel of longitude 103 west.
tr"; X t also on the branches Ol the Can
adian, in the neighborhood of parallel 10
d e£ r west longitude, nnd tjie other on th
same parallel of the first Fort Arbucklo,.pn
further east, the two latter by troopaftofv

all supplies to be drawn over the short
route from Fort Smith. That treaties b
mado with the Jickario and Muscalen<
Apaches, residing east of Albuquerque on
the lino of this road and they remov.
west of the Rio G rande on the O tla.
That the mail route monthly or semi
monthly be made between Fort Sm th an,,
Albuquerque, (in mail stages,) Instead '-
to Donna Anna, which » near 200 mile -
too far south. This l have represented -
Mr. Johnson, and I know him so well tha
1 can safely believe he will give the sub
ject his attention. . . . .
Fort Smith is, in my opinion, the nea
»»«• "fir-
S removal of the Apaches, will devel
the resources of New Mexico, which
if rich in minerals, and is a fine grazing
“Tim'told the land on the Pecos is gQlifi
for agricultural purposes of nny kind. n -
well as that on the streams flowing from
the White mountain, east of Albuquecqui.
May you get your road; jt is duo iyou,

When once established, it will be the «o >
