In 17S0, Mary fiirnrd, from whom he
h.,d ben divorced, was admitted an insane
patient into the I'ennsylvani.i Ilosj ital. -
Hero she remained shut up, tw einy-five
ears and one month, while her husband
was busily pursuing his one object in the
world ; at last she died in the year lSl.l.
On being told ejf her death, Stephen Gir
ard selected her burial-place and requested
that he should be called as soon as all the
arrangements for her funeral were com
pleted. Sho was buried in th0 manner
of the friends. Her husband was there,
glaring with one tearless eye, silent and
unmoved; after taking one short look at
the remains, be departed saying, "nil is
well." He return,',', home, and began to
give largely to the local charitioj and hos
pitals from this ,1 iy.

nearly all, with their families massacred.
Stephen Girard advertised liberally for
the owners to the property but very few
clients ever appeared, and it was transport
ed to Philadelphia to swell tho store and
increase the power of the onc-eyod capi-
talis!, who commenced tho building of
tle.c large ships engaged in tho trade
with China and Calcutta, which were, at
' that time the pride of America.

-----
as they would accomplish his purposes ;
lie paid his servant no more th.m the.
market price ; when a faithful cashier
died, ho exhibited the utmost indiffer
ence, making no provisions for his family,
and uttering no sentiment of regret for
his loss. Ho would higgle for a penny
with a huckster in the street; ho would
deny tho watchman nt his bank, the cus
tomary Christmas present of n p:'eat coat,

c'uaiao'er, he was deaf in ono ear, could

H? I"- five years together. An old rick-1
ef.y chair, remarkable for its age, ond
marked with tho initials "S. G." drawn
by a faded hor.-c, was used when be rode
about the tiiy. He hud noseu.-c of hospi
tality, no friend to share his house or 1 is
table. He was deferential in appearance,
to rank and family. Violent and passion
ate, only to one HU4i un old und faith
ful clerk named ltob'-rgot. His theologi
cal opinions were heterodox in the ex
treme, and he loved to name his splendid
vessels after Voltaire and Rousseau. He
was devoted to the improvement of his
adopted eity and country ; ho was a de
termined follower of ostentatious charity.
No man ever applied to him for a large
I,UUUI! giant in vain, while the starving
beggar was invariably sent from his ijah
Hesteadily rose every morning before the
lark, and unceising labor was tho daily
worship of his lifo.
Thus he attained his eighty-second
year. In 183J, he had near lost the sight
of his one eye, and used to bo seen grop
ing about his bank, disregarding every of
fer of assistance. Crossing ono of the
Philadel pria roads, he was knocked down
bv a passing wagon, his nice was bruised,
and his right ear nearly cut off. His one
eye, which before opined slightly, was
now entirely closed; he gradually wasted
away, and his health declined. On the
twenty-sixth of December, Stephen Girard
expired in a back-room on the third lloor
of his house, in Waterstreet, Philadelphia,
leaving the bulk of his largo fortune, up
wards of a million sterling, to found char
ities and to benefit tho city and country
in which he had acquired it.
Ho left his monument in the "Girard
College;" that marble-roofed palace for
the education and protection of the or
phan children of the poor, which stands
the most perfect model of architecture in
the New World, high above the buildings
of Philadelphia, visible from every emin-
t!n' ' Hun'oun'Iint' ntry. Every
I'61'1 of ,hp ,st(,"I nd intirnnlarraiijn.
mentof this Orphan College was set forth
cleavly and carefully in his will; showing
that the design upon which he had lavish
ed the mass of his wealth, was not the hus
tlly developed fancy of a few hours or days,
but was tho heait-eherislred, silent pro
ject of his whole life. Ilmtchld words.

err m Me Curs, One of the employees
on the Pennsylvania Railroad informs us
of a singular adventure which occurred on
tho passenger train of curs coming into
this place on .Saturday evening last. In
one of the cars i younggentlem m was sea
ted, apparently deeply occupied in reading
a book he held in his hand, until ho got to
Lancaster. At that place very handsome
young lady entered tho cars, and took a
scat opposite to him. Before she had been
in the train, the eyes of both met, und they
recognized one another us old aequalntaii
ees when young, having been eepcruled by
their parents moving apart those of one
to the West, and of the other to Philadel
phia. Tho two soon become enwrapped in
earnest conversation, feel ardently in love
with one another, und by the time they ar
rived in our borough, had resolved to be un -
ted as man and wife, and truvel on the: rul',,lU"'e or documeuU, and the probabil
joumey to the lady's home together. Ae-j l;v is "" l""' 'ul"ubl papers, left by

took lodgings at a hotel, sent for a minin
ter, and were united in the bonds of connu

ciety. A LITTLE ROMANCE.
TheWa.diington (Ohio) Register hussuch
a nice little romance about 'a Dutch girl'
thrt wo mern to try to squeeze it into 'all
sorw,' the more because tho Register af
firms it to be strictly true, and because it
turns out happily. The story might be
worked up into a pleasing volume:
Beauty and worth unadorned, are far
more suluablo than all the tinselled dra
pery of pm-th. Not over teu miles from
Washington is a pretty country residence
where a retired trader and his wife live,
with their only son. in tho enjoyment f
wealth and ease. Wewill call the gentle
man Mr. Landen. Among the 'help' in
the house was a German girl who posses
sed .remarkable beauty. There was an
air of superiority in her numue.r und ad
dress; but the Laudeus always treuted her
with hauteur. One pleasant day last sum
mer the old hidv and gentleman had gone
to visit a friend somo miles distant, but
Frank, beirg busy at something, d.U not
accompany them.
Soon after the carriage was gone, Frank
heard tho sound of music. He wtoW into
the house, und peeped silently into the
silting room. Theie uut M.iry (as we call
her) with the guitar, which' she played
with skill. After executing a brilliant
piece, she glided into a sweet French air,
and then, with a rich voice, lull of pathos,
sung one of the chansonettex of Berancer.
Tne youth was entranced; and when she
concluded he could not forbear un excla
mation of surprise and admiration. The
L'irl turned hastily when she saw the
young man at the door whom she thought
was out with his parents. Sho turned pule
with dismay, tottered a few steps, and fell
fainting on the sola. Frank ran to her
aid, but wa in a condition not much more
rational. He had something of the family
pride, and was of a shy, retiring disposi
tion. Imagine tho blushing confused young
man, supporting with his arm the form of
ft lovely girl in a fainting fit! Frank hail
never before felt the power of beauty but
ho was not overwhelmed, and, before
sprinkling somo drops of water on her
face-, he took a haMy, thrilloi.', besita ing
kiss. That kiss was fatal. Mary recovered
from the swoon, but Frank cotdd not es

G EX. HARRISON'S OLD LOG CABIN
BURSKD.
The 'Old Log Cabin,' so funous in polit.
ieal history, ha gone at last. It whs tho
residence nf Gen. Harrison at North Rend,
about fifteen miles below the city, when
be was nominated for President, uud won
made famous by a thousand songs in tho
campaign of 1840. Miniature imitations
worn erected in every corner of the land,
and praises of
"The Rough log cabia,
That tc-lls of olden time."
were upon every tonguo. Rut its latch
string has disappeared at last.
We have no minute details of the con
flngrntion, but learn from passengers who
arrived by the Ohio and Mississippi Rail
road, yesterday morning, between one
and two o'clock, that as the train arrived
at North bend, tho old log cabin was en
veloped in flumes, and that its destruc
tion was complete. It was occupied by
Wm. H. H. Taylor,(who married a daugh
ter of Gen. Harrison,) and family, and we
learn thut such was the rapid progress of
the fire, and so late its discovery, that the
members of the household barely escaped
in their night clothes.

North Bend is not only famous a the
unpretending residence of Presideut Har
rison, but occupies no mmi position in
Western History. It was tho first lund

incident turned the tide in favor of the
present site of our flourishing metropolis,
and North Bend, hua ever since remained
a beautiful rural retreat, from tho diut,
impurities, and busy throng of the city.
