THE LOST DEEDS., A parting glance around the office, to assure himself all the desks, closets' and iron safes are properly secure for the night, and the solicitor's conft dential clerk locks up and prepares for home. With coat buttoned to the throat, and hat drawn over his eyes, Mark Edwards turns his steps toward home, and cheeerlully faces the rough wind and dizzline' rain,which unmerci fully pelt and buffet him, as he vainly bails omnibus after omnibus to receive the same ansWer---"Full." But Mark makes no trouble of these out-of:door inconi.7eniencesJor Lis mind's eye is fixed on. the _well covered tea-table, bright fire, and best of all, the pretty young wife awaiting his return. The picture is so pleasant, that he cheeri ly hreaks forth into a line of "Home; Sweet Home," as he turns. the corner of the street where stands his own trim little domicil. . Mrs. Edwards is peering into .the darkness through the folds Of the muslin curtains, and has the door open before Mark's hand touches . the knocker. "Whitt a night for you,,loye says the little matron, brushing the rain drops from his bushy whiskers, and kissing him compassionately ; "and how late you are!" Edwards looks up at the clock as he struggles out of his dripping coat. "I , ana late indeed," he answered; 'but Mr. Pledwell has started on his trip to the lakes this afternoon, and there were a great many things to attend to before he went. And look here, Fan ny, this packet contains some valua ble deeds and securities which will be called for by the owner iu a IVw d aye. 11 the meanwhile, I have to copy one of them. but do-l't feel inclined to to.night.. Wheel.; can I Place there witlt satety Fanny supgest - ii, his desk, but that is the first, article aburglar would be likely "to 'meddld. with.

Still hesitates. ‘q . had so ma. - • ny injanetions to be careful, and riot l e t them go out of my possession, that 1 am afraid of that.' Fanny reminds him that there is a secret drawer in it. "Don't, you . re member," she asks, 'what trouble you had to fin : d, it?" ina ! the, very Place So his wife carries the. Candle:. foi; ,him, and the valuable packet is deposited. in this hidden receptehle. lts ordy,conteuts are highly scented . letters, ,tied, to gether with a piece of ribbon,- which Fanny, langhing and blushing, con fesses are Mr. Mark Edwards' love ef fusions befOre marriage carefully pre served to :he a witness ' against him when he becomes old and cross. Perhaps it was a restless night and unpleasant dreams. which made the clerk so uneasy—even in the hurry of the next day's work—knowing that he had not visited the escritoire • be. fore leaving home in the morning to ascertain with his own eyes the safe ty of the papers in charge. He pooh poops the idea as it pro sent tsel f remembering that one key is in his: possession and the other on his wife's housekeeping bunch ; but it re tur=ns so often, that it is 'with a feeling of; relief that he heara the signal for closing, and feels.he is at liberty to return home.: How is it his welcome is not such a smiling one as it usually is ? Fan ny's spirits seem depressed, and''her eyes look as if they had been clouded with tears. 'Have you had any visitors to-day?' her husband carelessly inquire , a as he sips his tea. The hesitating 'No' is so faintly pronounced that the young man, hitherto pre-occupied with business, looks up. ''That "No' sounded like 'Yei Who has been here?' 'Only my brother George,' Fanny answered in a low voice, a'►cl Mark, frowning, turns away and picks up a book. 'My brother George' is his aversion; and the torment and trouble , of his wife's family; always in difficulties, no sooner rescued from one serape, than rushing headlong into another; sometimes invisible. for months and Suddenly reappearing to levy contri hutians on any relative able or wil ling to assjst him. Mark has serious•- ly contemplated forbidding his visits; but then Fanny so tenderhearted, and cherishes cindly belief in the prodigal's u to reformation, that her husband has not yet muster ed sufficient firmness to enforce his Wishes, although he knows where his wife's broOch went, andwhy she wears that old velvet bonnet. Fanny seems to guess what is passing in her mind, by her coming softly to his side, and stroking his hair, and pressing her lips to his forehead, but neither of them say anything, and Mark liesurely pre pares for his task of' copying. While he has gone up stairs to fetch the papers, she lights au extra candle, and eseonces herself in a corner - with her work table, rearetting as she does so, that her "poor boy" must be bor ed with this odious writing .when he ought to be resting. However, Mark soon comes down the stairs, three steps at a Lime, to ask, rather angri ly, why she has moved his packet without mentioning it. With aston ishment in her looks, his wife denies having done so, and hurries with him to the spare bedroom, asserting her belief that he has overlooked the parcel. Not a thing is out of its place. The old escritoire stands exactly as 'they left it, th.e lock had not been tampered with, nor was the secret drawer open ; and there, undisturbed, lie the love letters; but the small brown paper parcel, tied with pink tape, and sealed with the official seal, is gone ! - The husband, suspecting he knows not what, looks almost sternly at his wife, whose answering glance is con fused and full of terror. 'Tell me the truth, Fanny, my dear Fanny ! Are you playing a trick to tease me ? - Remember, if I cannot produce those papers. I am a ruined man ! It would he worse than the loss of money; that I might replace, those I cannot. Tell me at once where they arc.' 'lndeed ; Mark, I know no more about them than_ you do yourself. They must be here; ; perbaps they have slipped behind the &amen". Although. newt, to .impossible, the chanee is not oyerlo,oked. hammer: and chisel is soon fetched, and the haik of therescritoird is, soon knocked out.; leaViug no nook or cranny where' the smallest ,paper could remain unper ceived. Almost beside himself, Bark leads his wife clown, stairs, and commences questioning her. Where is the key ? On' the ring ; it has not been out of her possessuM; Has she been out No. Is she quite sure of 'thin ? Quitei, besides, as she ventures to re- Mind him, the locks have not been forced, nor is aught else missiog,, as would have been the case if thieves had entered the house. In uncontrol lable agitation, the bewildered young man paces theyoom, while Fanny, un, able to proffer advice, or any reason able conjecture, watches him:in tram- Willi , . silence. Suspicions crowd in upon his mind; hints given.bglore.his marriage abbat Fanny Robert's brother, and regrets uttered, even within his hearing, that a. respectable young man like. Mr. Ed. wards should lower himself by such connection, are suddenly remembered and dwelt upon.. He pauses beforel his wife. and sternly • demands what errand :had brought that brother of hers to his house. That brother of I hers! What a speech ! :All Fanny's sisterly feelings are in arms, and she falters, for she is forced to °wit - that it was the want of money. :,'And you told him that I had these papers in th e house,' Mark cries accusingly. With a crimson face, she angrily de nies it., She did not mention Mark'Sii affairs during the short= interview- Is it :likely she would do:.so if she : did, would (r a poor, foolish , fellow that lie is, steal up stairs and rob ,his sister's home ? Impossible ! 'lmpossible,' Mark retorts, 'without he possessed the key.' 'lt has riot out of my pecket,? ;sobs Fanny. ''Then where,' asks Mark glare the missing papers?' Their little servant maid away for a holiday=no one in the house, aeeordir.g to Fanny's own confession but thisyoung man. Where are-the papers ? Receiving, for reply a torrent of tears and protestations, he flings him self on the sofa, and tries to steady his nerves to the consequences of this ex traordinary loss.

'To the a ff air is circumstantial detailed, and Mark points out the inevitable loss of his situation and good name if he should be unable to produce the papers or give any clue which might, lead to their recovery. To Fanny's dismay, he particularly dwells upon her brother's visit, and her half made endeavor to - conceal it; 'eoncludinc , by an entreaty that she will, if retaining any affection for her husband, tell all Hhe knows. But now the father interposes. To tamely hear both of hischildreo open ly accused of such a crime is Inure than his rather irascible temper will endure, amid he enters a counter-accu sation that Mark has, for some un, worthy end, removed the pareel him self, Words now become so hot and bitter that Fanny's distressis inereas ed, not leSseued, by this champion• Lship, and she weeps so bitterly and pleads so earnestly with Nal), that Mark, more touched than ho would like to confess, abruptly leaves them to shut himself in his chamber. Af ter some hours, the sound of his foot steps ceasing; the anxious wife 'creeps softly up stairs, and is relieved to find him- lying on - the bed in an uneasy slumber. Her father persuades her to rest too, but poor Fanny shakes her head, and still sits by his side, leaning her head on his shoulder, and feeling more forlorn and miserable than it had ever been her lot to feel before. What will-poor Mark do ? And what will become. of her if lie persists in believing her guilty ? Equally bewildered, and almost as unhappy as his daughter, Mr. Rob erts tries to sopthe her with promises -not only to seek George, and bring him to exculpate himself, but to for. give Mark's hasty speeches and assist him in investigating this mysterious • affair. So, at last, Fanny begins to feel more comforted, and 'to with her father to 'leave her; but, tired as he confesses himself, he cannot quitr her in such trouble, and they . dorttinie to occupy the same position by the fire till night has long given place to morn ing, and Mr. Roberts' eyes close inVol- , untarily.• A fbotstep 'overhead startles . them.

In the modern six roomed house every sound is distinctly audible, and they bear him enter the chamber where stands the now shattered cscri. Loire. After a short pause, he is heard slowly descending the stairs, and his wife raises herself from her reclining •pt*ition, and smoothes her disordered As he enters the room, Mr. Roberts layS his hands on his daughter's arm.

FUN AMONG THE SOLDIERS • A letter from Washington say: am living luxuriously, at present, on the top of a very respectable fence, and fare sumptuously on three gran ite biscuit a day and a glass of water, weakened with brandy. A high pri• vate in the TwentY second Regiment has promised to. let me have one of his square pocket handkerchiefs for a sheet the first rainy night, and I never go to bed on my comfortable window brash without thinking Ow- many poor creatures there are in this world who have to sleep on hair mattrasses ,and feather budkall ~- Be , WHOLE NO. 626. fore the great rush of Fire Zouaves and the rest of the menagerie com menced, I boarded exclusively on a front step in Pennsylvania Avenue, and used to slumber, regardless of ex pense; iu a well conducted ash-box; but the military monopolize all such movements now, and I give way for the sake-of my country. I tell yoti, my boy, we are having high old-times here just now, and it they get"aoy higher I shan't be able to afford to stay. The city is 'in dan ger' every, other hour, and, as a vet eran in the Fire Zouaves remarked, there seeMs'to be enough danger ly ing around loose on Arlington Heights t o make :a very good blood and thun• der fiction of numerous pages.

Then all the repor ters telegraph to their papers in New York and Philadelphia that 'Jeff.

My landlords says that if more than three chaps set up housekeeping on one post he'll he obliged to raise the rent. The greatest-confidence in General Scott is felt by all, and it would do you good to see the gray old hero take the oath, Ile takes it after every meal, and the first thing when he gets up in the morning. Those Fire Zotutves are fellows of awful suction, I tell you. Just for greens. I asked one of them yester day what he came here for ? 'nab says he, shutting one eye, 'we came here to strike for your altars and your fires—especially your fires! General Scott says Alta if he wanted these chaps break through the army of the fbe, he would have a fire bell rung for some district, on the other side of the rebels. He says that half a mil. lion of traitors couldn't keep the Fire Zouaves out of that district five min utes. I believe him, my boy ! WASHINGTON'S VIEWS ON DIS UNION AND REBELLION. In Irving's "Lilo or Washington" we find the following extract from one of his letters : "We are either a united people under one heal and for federal purposes, or thirteen sorer eignties, eternally counteracting each other. If the former, whatever such a majority of the states as the con stitution points out conceives to be for the benefit of the whole, shon/d, in my humble opinion be submitted to by the minority. I can forsee no evil greater than-disunion, that those urn seasonable jealousies which are con tinually poisoning. our minds, and fill ing them with imaginary evils fur the prevention of real one's." In an. other:letter to Jay he says: "We have probably had too good an opin ion,ofhumannature in forming our confederation. Experience has taught us"that men will not'adopt and carry into execution measures the best cal culated for their own good without the intervention of coercive power." Again, in .n letter to Col. Beery Lee, in Congress, he writes: "You talk; my good sir, of employintr illfill orlce to appease the present tumults in Massachusetts. I know not where that influence is to be found, or, if at tainable, that it would• be a proper remedy for the disorder.

Just at that moment Signor Blitz, the ma gieian arid ventriloquist, aecompani.ed by his two friends, who had been look ing on this strange scene, and enjoy ing the fun, adjourned to the Union Coffee• House, in the neighboring cor ner, and left the crowd endeavoring to induce the beast to speak again, and the dray man embracingthe mule in a most mariner. EManIIMVO No sooner did the principle of' Life .Ituratice begin to find favor, than in genious knaves folild hero a field for their operations. The first known fraud occurred in 1730. In that year, in an obscure part of London, lived a tall middle-aged man, with a serni. military bearing, with a young wo man of about twenty, reputed to be his daughter. They lived respectably, though poorly, and being very quiet, made few acquaintances and friends. Suddenly, one night the woman was taken ill. ' A physician" was - called, thought it a slight attack, and left a prescription. But almost immediate ly afterwards the patient grew rap idly worse, and before the dottor could he recalled, died in great age - - ny. He came, felt her pulse"; placed his hand on her heart, shook his head, and intimated that all was over. She was buried in due form, the sorrowing father presently claimed and received a considerable sum which had been insured on the life of his daughter, and disappeared. Not very long thereafter, an• old gentleman and his daughter took pos 7 s - esion of a respectable house in the ni borhood of Queen Square, where they soon attracted - attention by re= ceivin,g much cduiPany,' keeping a generous table, and opening their parlors to somewhat high play—at which it was afterwards remembered that, though the old man did not en gage, no one ever won of the young woman. But a stop was soon put to these amusements. The lady was ta - - ken suddenly ill; spasms at the heart convulsed her frame; Several physi cians wore hastily sent for, while the man hung over his daughter in appa: rent agony of spirit. One physician arrived in time to see her imitate the appearance of. death ; the others, sat: istied that life had fled, gave their cer tificate and pocketed their fees. The corny) was again put under the ground; and again the bereaved father receiv ed many thousand poundS' from the virtuous underwriters, merchants and companies With whoii-Ole had insured the life of the departed. Againthis time a few years later —these two able actors appeared up: on the same stage. This time the scene was'at Liverpool; the man if, ship owner of reputed wealth, with whom lived his niece, an unmarried lady i owning a considerable landed property-in her own right. This was the report insiduously spread, and generally believed on 'Change, where he care e to be much respected by those( who (lege 'with him. nis bouse was always open, and his niece dispensed' its hospitalities in a most gradefal manner. Presently it was 'thine:wed that unsuccessful ventures had occur- red, to which he frankly owned, men- . tioning gradually that his affairs dd.' mended some ready money,l%vhich heti would be forced to borroW. To do so on the security cf his niece's proper ty, it becomes necessary that he should insure her life for about $2,000. As this was not a singular transaction, he b)und no difftcnity in getting an; derwriters. To save his credit,. he asked that the matter be kept secret; and ender cover cf this czceet he sue.; ceeded in effecting insurance with nit; less than-ten difiererq merchants and companies in London and elsewhere.
