"THE LAST MAN.!"
NOT Br THOMAS CAMPBELL:
drosmod a dream the other night, •
When every thing was hushed and still,
Which mule each hair stand straight with (tight,
Stiff no the porcupine's last quill,
Methought that potticos is had gown
To such vast and monstrous size,
That there sees room for them alone— " '
•
And none tor man—beneath the skies.
The begat mid every creeping thing
lied died. The tlewers bloomed no more,
The crime and tender herbs of Spring
Were withered on the desert shore;
Ten million leagues of crinoline
Stretched over all like a funeral pall . :'
And en the cold and cheerless scene
The sun's warm rays could never fall.
On Ararat's cloud-curtained peak
The last man stood with pallid fare,
Sick. trembling. weary, worn and weak,
Sail remnant of a sm , dhering race.
In vain—hlas!•poor man! in Vain—
His footsteps a .sight that rest of old,
For clouds of skirts soon filled the plain,
And hid the mountain in their fold.
Still bigger grew those spheres of white,
Until.they reached the summit high.
And streamed above the wretched wight,
Like en,,wy banners in the sky.
The man looked o'er the precipice.
"Make way for petticoats," he cried;
And plunging down the dark abyss,
Made way for Petticoats—and died.

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 injanetions to be careful, and riot

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

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. MehnWhile, Fanny
goes and institutes, an unavailing
sea rch- in every box and cupboard

By whom ? Getting frightened' at
Mark's gloomy looks,she is delighted
when a tap at the door announces a
visitor, and that visitor proVes to bo
her• father.
'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

bitter that Fanny's distressis inereas

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

In the modern six roomed house
every sound is distinctly audible, and
they bear him enter the chamber

slowly descending the stairs, and his

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. Influence is
not goVernment.: Let us have a goy
ern went by which our lives, liberties
and
,properties will be secured or let
us know the worst at once. . There
is call fur deeisioe. Know what the
insurgents aim at. ll' they have real
grievances, 'redress them if possible;
* If they have not. employ the force of
the government against them at once.—
* * *. Let the reigns -of wovern
ment then be braced and held '= witli
steady hand, and every violation of
the Constitution be reprehended. If
it be defective, let it be amended ; but
not suffered to be trampled upon wilst
it has.existence
In i :letter to General Knox ho
writes: "I feel, my dear Gen'l
infinitely - More than I can express to
you for the disorders which have aris

besides a tory, could have foreseen,

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.
