On llio tirst of thia October, of 1795, lull thirty thousand of them were in arms, sworn to overturn the government oi the Convention, and to take the con duct ot ultiiit'H in their own hands. Paris was divided into seelions, like the wnril s of our American cities, and this L'iiiiit insurrection was bended hy the leaders of these sections. In the seclitin culled Lciiulletier were the most inlluential of these loaders, and ihere was tho centre, or focus, of tbo giithcnng storm. At length tbo Convention received intelligence of tbo movement, and tho members weto greatly alarmed, as well they might bo. There were at least thirty tbousand of tho insurgents, and they were well and thoroughly armed. The Convention hud only a skeleton of the Nutionnl Guard for de fence, and that guard numbered not more limn five thousand, and not thor ougbly organised at that. Not an other help could tho government cull to its ii i I . While the Convention was yet deliberating on the fearful nil Mil lion the tocsin of revolt was sounded in the section of Lepelletier, drums wetu bent und armed bodies begun to liSMcmblo. General Menou was sent, at the head of a considerable force, to dispcrso them. lie was a kind-hearted, sympathetic man, and be attempt ed lo reason with tho riotous leaders; and t.t length, when ho found ihey were increusing in numbers, and that the- wero determined to press on, bo disgracefully turned and fled. This was a dark day tor tho Con vention for I'nris for France! What should bu tliiue? It was not unknown that the insurgent host had increased to forty-five thnuitnd men, and that their iilatis were luiil lor inarching up on the Convention. It meant aimpiy another carnival of blood and horror. At this time a young uiuu had just arrived in I'uris Iroin Toulon. His name was Napnlcnn Honapurte. Ho was a General. of tho lirigailo, and bud performed great things ut the South ern seaport. Harms knew him well had been with bim at Toulon, and knew just what sort of a man ho was. U e have but livo thousand guards men to set against this whelming force," said Barroa to tbo Convention ; "but there is a man in Paris whoso in dividual prcnenco at the head of our National Guard will render thorn suf ficient lo the work. Wo must place Genertl Bonaparte in command ol our national forces." Hut tho Convention had great lulth in Hurras, and they insisted that ho should assumo tbo command. To tbia ho agreed on condition that Bonaparto should bo appointed second in com mand under him. ... Napoleon, who had watched nar rowly all that hud been done, and who bad been disgusted with the ignomini ous retreat of Menou, thus giving tho insurgents tho first mlvantugo, was sent lor to come to the Convention. Ilocamo and was introduced by tho President. The members were aur- prised. Could Bsrrus bu in earnest? Tbt y beheld in tho horo of Toulon a smuii, slim, pule -diced, beardless youth, looking to lu not mure than eighteen or nineteen years ot age. 1 ho rresi- dent explained to htm tho character ol the lorce and unnumuiil they hail on hand, and then asked : "General Bonaparte, aro yon willing to undertake, with this, the defense of the Convention?" "Yes!" was tbo only word spokon in reply. , . There wua a litllle hesitation and then the President asked : " "Aro you awuro of tho magnitude of w lint you unoerluke lo u I Napoleon raiacd himself 1o his full stnltiro, and as bis eagle eye flashed upon those who sat Hour the President, he seemed to have grown to be a gimit. They quailed before tho burning glunco. "1 uuilerstuiiU purieeliy, he replied ; "and I am in the habit of accomplish ing that which 1 undortako. But one thing indispensable: I must have the unlimited command, entirely ntilrum moled hy any orders from tho Conven tion. There was no time for debate. The insurgents were in arm", and already advancing. Aapoleons terms wero acceded lo and he was placed in com mand. It is tlotiMtuI it the captain ever displayed his great qualities ol genius, skill and couragu more em phatically than on this occasion. Ho showed that tho truo powers of the baltle chiuf wore not to be gamed hy study ; I hoy were born wilh the man Moments wero precious. Aa wo bavo already said, tho insurgents to the number ol between torty anil tlity thousand, anil all armed, wero organ ized, and in motion. A short distunco from the city wore forty pieces of can non, with tho machinery intact aim caissons supplied Willi ammunition This park of artillery tho insurgent leaders bad mnrKcil, ana meant lo so euro it very soon. They did not nocil tho field pieces ouito yet. Among rua ptdeon'a otlicers who had served with him. and whose duality ho knew, was a votinc captnin named Joachim Mu rat, whom be dispatched to soeiiro tbeso guns and bring them to tho city. At the head of threo hundred nicked cavalry, Murst was quickly duelling awar at hesniong speed, ami arriron at the park just as a hand of Jncnbin soldiery, sure ol tbo prey, had hitched lo some ot tho limbers. 1 her wero no lives liatt there.. Mural's charge was like a whirlwind, and the Insur gents dew before it like thslT before wind. The guns were conveyed safe- If, to Paris, anil hy Napoleon taken to e Tuillcriea and so placed as to sweep with I heir mnaalea orery avenue lead ing to that all Important quarter, for in this placo tho young commander caused to bo stored all tho arms, am munition and provision which bia en ergetic details had found and selr.ed in different parts of the city. , There ia no need tbat we give in de tail all that Napoleon did during the slnglo night of the fourth of October. Tba majority ot our reader would gather no Information of value from the oDiimorallon of tba lorllflod points and passes. UtitTic it to say that the nan who bad undertaken, with Ova CLEARFIELD, thousand mon, to ovorcomo flvo and forty thousand reckless, desperate In surgents, did not aloep. Every point was lookod to, and every post manned undur his own eyo. And, mind you, he not only plannod for eonquost, hut he planned for reverses as well. He had found retreat necessary, bis place of retreat was selected, and every pro caution taken against surprise, and against tho coming in of munitions or assistance to tho enemy.. In tbo meantime the insurgent soo tiona wero preparing for the onset. They know tbat a General Bonaparte, from Toulon, was arranging to opp'ose them, but they luughcli at tho idea. Huh f what could he do wilh the sec tions of Paris? Ho conid only sum mon tho Convention's guard, and for that insignificant body tbey cared nothing. They bad organised an in surrectionary government; had passed an act outlawing tho National Con vention ; and had established a court oi tribunal of justice for the trial and punishment of such as should persist in rosisiing their authority. When it cumo to organiio for military move ment there was not only Jacobin Gen erals ol experience and known cour ago to lead them, but many oflicera ot tbo ultra Royalists. We buvo spoken ot tho .National Guard as being truo to the Convention, becattso when they rebelled they ceas ed to be National troops; but in reali ty the bulk of what is properly termed the .ulioinil Ouuril, ut least thirty thousand of them, well officered and thoroughly armed, and led by tho vet eran General Dunican, wore the insur gents. v Napoleon luid perlormed bis marvel ous work during tbo nightof tho fourth of October. The morning of the fifth duwnod upon Paris in arms. The alarm bolls ol the sections wero ringing, and from many qnarturs the long-roll was sonnding. Tbo insui gents gathered rapidly, mustering at appointod rcn- degvous, and at an early hour were reudy to march. 1 hutrprst point was tho('onvention, which they meant to sweep from existence. They laughed to acorn the Idea ol serious resistance to their overwhelming numbers. Tbey held in utter contempt the poor troops which the Legislative assembly could muster. At last the bugle-blast was sounded by Dunican'B herald, and the tens of thousands ol insurrectionary soldiera murched with wild, demoniac shoutings to the work of blood and de vastation, feeling euro of an early vic tory. In tho Convention the members, some in their seats, and Borne gather ing at the windows, trembled with alurtri. They beard tho yells of the infuriate mob, and knew that their lives were in the issue. Could their youthful General save them? 1 Napoleon, as he stood by the aide ol a gun near the Tuillerios, looked older than ho hud lour anti-twenty hours be fore Still pule, but calm and stern, bo stood, resolved to do or dio. "Let Ibem strike tbo first blow," ho said, and then added, in a manner which thoso who saw and beard never lorgot, 1 will take the responsibility of the second !" Ero long tbo insurgents came in sight, in aerricd, plunging masses with music Bounding and flugs flying came trom every quarter, completely filling t lie street, and blockading ovcry avenue. They were eagor and jubilant, those in the rear trying to gut to tho front thai they migni nave one snot at tue Convention's troops, for they did not believe tho meagre squad would dare to resist the populace of Paris, On, on they came, until tho heads ol the columns were within easy range ot Napoleons guns. Un, still turthor, hooting and clamoring lor tho blood of tho members of the Convention: and at length they opened the ball of tho morning with a discharge of mus ketry. ' A discbarge ol musketry from the insurgents I It wua the signal ol their doom 1 Instantly every cannon charg ed to tho fullest rapacity with grope and canister, and commanding every pproaeh, opened a simultaneous, well- directed, merciless Uro, the well-drilled cannnniera reloading with rapidity, and tho captains ol tbo guns coolly correcting ibo aim grapo and canis ter canister and grape tearing through the serried masses and cutting down tho advancing hosts as grain is cut belore tho sweeping scythe. It was terrible it was mine than men could endure. Severn! times undur brave and determined loaders, the insurgent battalions made a aland, and ibught desperately, but NuK)luon, liko the genius ol destruction, accmotl uoitiui tons. Wherever ho was needed there he was sure to bo, and under bla in spiring gtiitlnnee batteries of belching cannon were wboulcd into position as if by magic; strongholds of tho enemy wero overcome, anil whole streets wero swept from end to ond. It was terrible while it lusted ; but ho is truly tho most humane who nuts the quickest possible Blnp to bloodshed oven though ho has to light hard to do It, In a little less than two hours from the time ot the first dischargo of mus ketry tho lust gun was tired ; tho vic tory was won. Five thousand men had vanquished more than forty thou sand. 1 ho Insurgents wero conqnereil and reduced, and the Convention took a now lease of power, which it used moderately and with clemency towards the fallen loo.

Tbo fol lowing ia the text of the Csar'a mani festo : Our faithful and beloved subjects know the strong Interest we have con alantly felt In tho destinies of the op- DroKseilthriatlanpopulullonori urkey Our desire to ameliorate and assure their lot has been shared by tho whole Ilusbian nation, winch now snows itself ready to bear liesh stwirinees to allovi ate t ho position of the Christians in tho lialkan Peninsula.

This Boliciludo never tailed to actuate us during the doplomblo events which occurred In llertogovina, Bosnia and Bulgaria. Our ohjovt belore all was to effect amelioration in the position ol tbo Christians In the East by means ot nacifio negotmtiona i and in concert with the great Kttit.ssn powers, our allies and friends, for two year wo have made incessant oflorts to induce the Porte to effect mch reforms aa would protect tho ChrfctlanslD Bosnia, llersegovinaeed iMiigareklron. iao ar bitrary wieexarwe ot Ural authorities,. The sreempllnhreDt of these reforms PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1877. was absolutely etipulated by anterior engagements contracted by the Porte towards tbo wbolo ol Europe. Our efforts, supported by diplomatic repre sentations made in common by the other governments, have not, however, attained their ohjoct. Tbo I'orte has remained unshaken in its formal refusal of any elfectivo guariinlee for the se curity ol its Christian subjects, and has rejected the conclusions of tho Constan tinople Conference. Wishing to ossay ovory possiblo means of conciliation in order to poranado the Porto, we pro posed lo tho other Cubincta to draw up a special protocol, comprising the most essential conditiona of tho Constantino ple Conference, and to invite tho Turk ish Government to adhere to this inir. national act, which nates the extreme limits of our peaceful demands. But our expectation war not fulfilled. The Porte did not defer to thia unanimous wish of Christian Europo and did not adhere to the conclusions of the proto col. Having exhausted pacific efforts wo are compelled by the haughty ob stinacy of tho Porto to proceed to more decisive acts, feeling that our equity and our own dignity enjoin it. By her refusal Turkey plaice lis under tho necessity of having recourse to arms.

THE EAGER Jl UK T FOR OOLD. A NEW DORADA TWO nUNtlRED MILES WEST OT Till BLACK HILLS.

The principal goal ia Dcadwood, tbia little gulch not over fifteen miles long, every Inch of which wna located nearly a year ago. Why thia baa become the objective point no one can nnuersianu ; sun hither nineteenths of them come, find themselves unable to aeauro hotel ac commodations or even sleeping room in the iKKireal stable, and are forced to enter at once into the hardsbipa of frontier life, by camping out upon the bank of somo friendly stream. Fortu nately the weather ia mild, the grontul tree of anow, and their exiatonco, there fore, not the most -miacrabla in the world.

Others hiro out as teamsters, others still, and tbey are many make a bee lino for borne. These aro by far tho most sen sible portion of the entire lot. 1 do not wish to be understood to say tbat the above class include all comers. There are many old miners from other diggings, and many sensible, industri ous men from tbe States among the arrivals, who are of benofit to the com munity and who will unquestionably in the end see uro a rich reward for tho labor and privation that they thus vol untarily assume. But the majority of "pilgrims" are from tbe counters, desks and schools of the Slates more boys, sana oxporionco, never having been Btibjected to manual labor of any kind, nd very bttlo work at all. Of tbe section thus fur known to con tain gold there is but little open for location, wbilo the country already unsuccessfully prospected reduces tho extent of torritory in which minorula may posBibly yet bo found to a vory email area. The gold bi It of tho hills extends from the Bear range, on the extreme northwest, to French crock, on tho southeast, and is about twenty or twenty-five miles in width. Of tbia belt tho southern portion, whilo il may bo eventually mado to pay by tho in troduction of machinery, is not calcu lated for the poor man, and consequent ly cannot be worked by tbo class of peoplo that aro now inhabiting the hills. "Poor Man's diggings" aro con fined to ono district on Buttle creek, Dcadwood and httnwooU wilh their little tributaries, and the Sand creek region filtcen miles northwest of here. I'pon none ot tbeso can a claim bo se cured other than by right of purchase. Itotwcen Bund creek ana Deauwooo, for eight miles directly north of tho latter place, and for a short distanco southwest, there aro small unexplored traeta upon which the increasing pop ulaco may settle, but conceding all those districts to be mineral bearing, there would then bo territory sufficient for only a small portion of Iho hun dred tbousund people that will be bore by July 4th. .These facts are admitted by ovcry disinherited person, and as a result the unfortunate non-claimant, casting about for tbo next best thing, rests bis eyes upon tho tar distant. The Bin Horn mountain, about which there is much lulk, and of which most wonderful stories are told regarding tho immense wealth, being equally dis tribntcd over a territory four times largor than the entire Black Hills, pre sents inducements unequalled by any mining district in the known world. The mountain ia about two hundred miloa west of Dcadwood, on the North Plntto rivor. It is broad, very high, and trends off to tho northwest somo two hundred milos, and then turns westerly towards Yellowslono park and lake. At the bend it is cut in two by the Big Horn rivor, which has ex cavated a deep cannon sixty miles long, near tho lower end ot which, and be tween it and the Yellowstone rivor, Fort C. F. Smith waa located in 1807. From the northeastern base flow Pow der, Tongue, Rosebud, and Little Big Horn rivers, all snid to contain gold in their alluvium beds. At its western base many small streams are found, overy ono boing reputed aa equal to f. - i ..i i- i . : . fl'i.-l i.i any in tue j.ibck i t his. i ne oHcaiiuiir, or granitoid portions of tho mountain, has, during the past year, been explor- ed by several bold adventurers, who, tlotlging, biding irom or nguiing tue hostile Indians have succeeded in re turning wilh sacks full of lino, beauti fully pure gold, and with most bo witching accounts of tbo wealth and beauty of the country. Tbeso statements are partially sus tained by Capt. W. F. Reynolds, who, in July, 185!), under orders from the War Department, explored both the Bit; Horn and the Black Hills. In bis report he says that "vory decided evi dences of the existence ot gold wore discovered In the Dig Horn, and some indications in tho Black Hills," thus giving proedonco to tho former. J. K. Vt Hson, commissioner oi mo general land office lor about twenty years, aaya in bis report for 1808: "Gold is known to exist in tho Powder and Big Horn nvors. As early as la!, l.ient. Maynadcor wroto of tho country, "there is every renson to beliovo that the mineral wealth of the mountain ous portion is very great." Many at tempts have boon mado to aeltlo in the mountain lor a lull development oi tno land, but Indiana havo invariably provon too hostile and atrong. The massacre oi uoi. reiuirman anu ninety-six soldiers, In lHltll, at Fort Phil Kearney, and the surrender ol tbe Forts in that country in 1807-08, end ed all prospecting until within the past year. Now it seems probable that the question of gold or no gold will be speedily settled. I find that tho placer claims along White wood and Dcadwood gulches, although conparativoly lew in number, havo not been overruled or overslutcd as reirarda their valuo. The Wheeler olaim netted tho lucky owners the anug aum of nearly $400,000 last year, including the purchase price, and the claim ia still paying well. This la, however, an exceptional bit ot land ; but the major portion of tho districts named are exceedingly rich, the aver age yield of each being sufely placed at $-l0 per day or $50 to each man. 1 recently visited the Dolstord olitim, which is No. . Cape Horn district, two mile below Dcadwood, and four milea from the Wheeler claim. The property la owned by Martin Gibbon, ot Kentucky, and A. J. Botsford and Walter Stone, of Rncino, Wisconsin. Those boya, wilh the help of three as sistants, "cleaned up" over $200,000 last year, disturbing less than a quur- tor of their claim ol auo loot, l lonnu them hard at work, bats off. and strip ped nearly to the buff. . 1 wo were shoveling in the sluice boxes ; Die third and tho hired help were forking or shoveling out the tailing. At the end ol eiiiht hours work, tlicy lifted tho ruffles and look out $220 pretty fulr work for thoso "hard limes." lmugino a msn worth $100,000 at work "in the States" with pick and shovel, antl yoi ean understand my thoughts as I gag ed uoon their labor, - ' Iiaatlwood gold is generally ralbcf coarse, and vory rusty, so much ao that the novice often mistake it for the ordinary black und that lingers to the last in the pan. Botsford gold is singularly enough, as bright, tine, and uro as any taken elsewhere in mo ills. Those boys havo largo quartz interests in tho vicinity of Lend City, and a stamp mill that is pounding out three or four hundred dollars per day. Quarts is occupying much attention, not only of canilalists, but of poor min ers and prospectors, who have no ditH culty in cll'ecting a ready sale, ot a large price, ol every goou leaa iney strike. Tbe quartz is entirely differ ent Irom that found anywhere eluo in tbo world, being more of tho nature of cement than of solid rock, soft, and eaHily milled. In color it is maroon noar tho surface, the shade deepening as tho vein sinks. I recently viaited tbo Wsolcy lode, at tho invitation of tbo owner, Major Woolcy, and was ehown into ono of the ricbost and most conveniently lo cated mines in the hills. Two tunnels enter tbo lead, one at tho southern ex tremity running eighty feel through a mass of solid ore, tho littlo specks of gold scintillating in indescribable bril liancy as we bore our torches down the cut. Tbe mass of ore in sight was estimated to be worth $75,000. Tbe other tunnel runs crossways on the lead, is over fifty feet in length, and still hna not traversed tbe vein. Tho roof of thia cut is naturally formed by what appears to be ono huge slate slono, us smooth and regular as mar ble, and extending, unbroken, Irom the opening to tbo further end. Ore trom the Woolcy lode will assay and average (40 per ton, and as tbo mine is so situated tbat rock can bo dumped from tbo tunnel into tho mill, avoiding the necessity of cartage, the cxpenso of mining and milling will not exceed fO per ton, thus giving a net profit of $34, which with a twenty stamp mill, will afford a daily revenue of b'80. Tho country around Guyvillo and Central presents, to a spectator stand ing on an elevated spot, an appearance snnilur to a pruirio dog village. Pros poct holes, shafts, tunnels, Ac, arc scattered over tho fuce of tho bills, without regard to direction, distance, or tho rights of others, and upon near ly overy claim a largo forco of men is employed, which gives to tho picture an animation most agreeable to the eye. Oro is of ono quality, tho dark maroon, Ireo gold abounding in tno greater portion, and aa fur aa 1 can as certain, ono mine is equally rich with ono'.her. Heretoloro attention of quartz min ers bos been devoted to gold-bearing rock, but they have lately received in formation that has caused a diversion, and now silver occupies almost as much attention. An old prospector, in tho employ of a company of capi talists, returned from a tour yesterday, bringing with him specimens of Galena oro and native silver quartz, which are claimed to bo fabulously rich. I also understand that this is the first instance known of tho discovory ot a nulivo silver lead. In the specimen brought in, the bright, pure molnl stands out from tho alone in tho boldest relief and ia tho most fascinating "prospect" over beheld. If tho lead is as rich as the specimen indicated (and the prospector maintains that u is; me iuckj- owners have the best initio in the entire world, one that will completely shadow the famous Comstock lode of Nevada, which irivcB amonthly dividend of two million dollars. Thcprecisolocntion of tho now discovery is known only to tho prospector, who is mum as an oys ter. Innumerable parties aro out in search of it, however, anil there is no doubt that it will be discovered In a few daya. A BROKEN "CORNER:' FREE TRAllI IN BEW1MJ MACHINES EX PIRATION OF THE PATENTS REDUC TION OP PRICES TO FOLLOW. At noon on Tuesday of last week, the 8th inst., expired the last of Iho aeries of patents upon the. essential portions of llio sowing machine which havo en aided (he owners to exact a royalty from all manufacturer. From that time forth any one can make a sewing macbino. r or many' years pasl a com binalion of large manufacturers viz: tho Singer Manufacturing Company, tho M heeler nson i ompany, aim tho G rover A Bakor Manufacturing Company havo bought up and con trolled inventors patents, ami concen trating their rights, havo been onahlcd to restrict such general manufacture aa would intcrlero with their business. Ono of tho most important of thoir naienls waa tho old llowo patent for an eye-pointed needle, a shuttle, antl other mechanical devices, which, how ever, expired nearly ton years ago. A n- otherputent was lor the tour-motion teed, which was invented by Allen l). Wilson and patented in tbo name ot ono Fitzgerald, and was known as the Fitzgerald patent. This also expired three years or more ago, and waa like wise a relief to the outsido manufac turers, who had for many ycara paid a royalty lor ita use, as it wua an cssen tiul in every machine. Tho last patent which thev hold, and tho one which expired last week, is known as the lintcheldur patent, grant ed in 1850 and ronowed in 1870, and is for what la known as tho needle nlate. an essontinl piece, beneath and throuirh which passes the needlo to oonneet wilh the shuttle. Tho patent really covers all style of feeding de vices in which llio uioili is icti between two clamping surfaces.

Ono company die playa an account showing that they had paid during tho Inst ten years the sum of $800,000 aa royalty to tho com panics controlling this patent. All ibcso manufacturer have neon obliged to keep a record of the plnto number ol every maelnno sold, and make oato to the accuracy of their royalty state ments, a thing which appears eimplo enough, but which they say baa caused them untold annoyance In tho way ot having machines returned lo them eg changed, and other liko transactions. Tor which thoy have been held to rig- nrnna acenunL at much time and OX- Dcnse. Tho royally of $3 on each machine Is not In itself a large Item but upon a new machine to be put on Iho market any royalty might be charu-ud. which effectually limited matiulitcture.

Tho sum of t'.l is hut a small Hem nn a it) sewing ma chine, but a good machine of thai kind costs just about 115 to place completed in iho warcrooms.

Tho Singer outsold tho others largely, but there was a loose ness in tbo way in w hich people who could not get trusted for a bushel ol coal wore put in possession of a $75 sewing machine, which resulted in many losses to tuo companies and a great clamor from dishonest peoplo mainly against tbo lease system. 1 bat system will have to be stopped now, as we shall have to reduce our prices almost immediately. 1 be lease system has been tbe means of enabling many poor peoplo to buy a sewing machine who would never bavo got ono in any other way. This change will undoubt edly prove of benefit to the peoplo wilh cash to puichnso machines." Tho President of tbo WhoelerA V il- son Company said : "Wo will furnish our ua machine to any ono woo will take tho number from us which we sell annually for 120 each.

But this wedded lovo wa not a perpetual foun tain of domestic swecls. Tbo lady could not koep her secret few ladies can and sho told tho story to a con fidential friend. Thus it went in most expeditious manner lo the cars of her parents and threw them into a state ot consternation. It was very natural that they should inquire into tho his. lory and babits and situation of their son-in-law, and tho inquiries resulted in establishing the tact that ho is a truly remarkable young man. Fow men are so well qualified by experience for matrimony as bo. 1'revmu to this last marriago he had but throe wives, so far as tho detectives could ascertain without going hack of the returns: ono in California, ono in Arizona and another at Mount Vernon, and, being a coach driver, was doubtless moved by tbo anibiliouB desire to establish matrimonial way stations, so to speak. Ho had arranged that tho profits of hia last marringo should be a hundred thousand dollars, but hia new father-in-law has aeon fit to get mad at the young man a eccentric manner, and says ho will spend a million dollars to put him in jail. That would be an elegant placo tor a bridegroom to spend his honeymoon, with throe wivos pa tiently awaiting his return totho bosom of his family. The young woman has been taken out of tho city by her parents, and, it ia aaitl, has been placed in a lunatic asylum, as an altogether appropriate thing. But there aro other young women wilh anil heads and susceptible hearts, who are still at large, aa there aro other coachmen, in the disgtiiae of rich t aliiornians, lying in ambush, and the columns of tho daily newspaper aro yawning and ready to roroive tho particulars of tbo next affair of this kind.

In abort, I have more use for money wbon in tho bouse, than when able to be abroad." And again he wrote t "Tbe good there ia In mosey liea altogether in las use like the wo man's bog of ointment ; if it bs not broken, and the contents poured out for the refreshment of Jeaua Christ in his distressed members, It loses Its worth. He I not rioh who lays op much ; but wbo lays out much." - -
