and rushed away from the awful scene!.
We must now suppose a lapse of twenty
years.
In the spring of 1537, there lived in the
!city of New York a banker and a million
aire, whom we shall call Stephen Edwards.
Ile owned a palatial mansion, splendidly
furnished, in the very heart of the town,
and he and his wife were among the lead
ers of the fashionable world. They had a
beautiful daughter, gust turned of sweet
sixteen, who was about to be married to a
foreign nobleman, and great preparations
were making for the happy event.
One day, about this period, as the great
banker stood conversing with a gentleman
from another city, who called to see him
on business, he observed the latter sudden
ly turn very pale and begin to tremble.
"My dear sir," he said, in the usual
tone of oir hand sympathy, "what is the
matter? Are you ill?"

was quite well, calmly proceeded to finish
his business with the banker, and then
respectfully took his leave.
It was, perhaps, a week after this that
one night, the great banker was sitting
before the fire in the library, when the
servant came in and presented him a let

the most indolent and indifferent manner

and with the other clasped his forehead

seemed to be choking into calmness, by an

Up to the outraged seats of power
He comes, the drat of all the land,
Unmoved as in the battle tour,
A people's favor in his band.
To whom but unto him belong
Welcomes to the Deliver's place?
It was his sword annulled the wrong,
And re-ennobled half a race.
His sword was in his greatest hour
To angry States the wand of peace ;
And, loyal to his silent power,
The echoes of rebellion cease.
And Fame to land and age afar
Shall glorify him doubly great—
Unbaffied soldier of the war,
Untroubled ruler iu the State.

This man was dressed like a hunter, and
carried a rifle on his shoulder. In his

lie was of medium size, compactly built,
with intellectual features and a certain a
of gentility—seeming rather as one abroall
from some settlement for a day's sport
than a professional hunter. All this the
mounted traveler carefully noted before he
crossed the stream to continue his jour
ney, and when they came near „together a
pleasant salutation was exchanged.
" Fine weather for traveling, sir • • ,
marked the man with the gun.
"And for hunting also, I should sup
pose," smiled the other on the horse.
" Yes, there is game enough," returned
the other, " but I am not agood hunter,
and can show only one bear for my day's
work, and that is almost useless to me,
because I have no means of taking it
away. I would willingly give a dollar
for the use of a horse like yours for a
couple of hours. If you could sparo five
minutes or so, I would like you to seethe
bear. It is only just back behind these
bushes, some two hundred yards from
here."
"I will not only look at it," replied the
traveler, dismounting and fastening his
horse, "but, if not too heavy, I will take
it along for you, seeing I am going your
way."
The hunter thanked him in a most cor
dial manuer, and then, as if to make him
self agreeable and keep up the conversa
tion, inquired 'where the other was from,
whither journeying, and so forth ; and
learned in reply that the latter resided in
Albany, was a merchant in good business,
and was traveling partly for his health,
and partly with a view of making an ex
tensive laud purchase for future specula
tion.)7

hunter as the two emerged from - the Aso
thicket, through which they had slowly
forced their way, into the open wood,
" here we are, and now I will show you
as fine and fat a beast as you ever saw.
Observe where I point muffle."
He stepped hack some eight or ten feet,
deliberately raised the piece to his eye,
and pointed the muzzle directly to the
head of the traveler. There was a flash,
a loud report, -the victim fell like a log, his
face covered with blood.
This might and might not have been
the first ermine committed by the man with
the rifle. But as the traveler fell the rifle
slipped from his hands, and he shook vio
lently from head to foot; yet, he sprang
to his victim and hurriedly robbed him of
a purse, a pocket book, a gold watch and
chain, some curious seals, a diamond
breastpin, and a diamond ring which he
"You allude to this I suppose," return
ed the banker, producing the letter which
had caused him so much perturbation.
" Yes."
"I do not understand it. You have
made a mistake."
"No, no mistake at all; I was present
twenty years ago, come the tenth of next
October, and saw you,Stephen Edwards,
shoot the man, and I'l have you in prison
before morning. I've laid my plans, and
got everything sure; and if you go to play

p . l/
The banker in spite of himself, turned
pale, shuddered, and staggered to a seat.
" What do you want?" he groaned. •
"A hundred thousand dollars. Not a
cent less."
"I cannot give it—it would ruin me."
"Just as you say," rejoined the other,
moving toward the door. " You know
what will follow if I go this way."
" Ohl stay; you must not go yet!" cried
the man of crime in terrible alarm.
He argued, pleaded, implored for mercy
at a less fearful cost. In vain. At last,
the banker, seeing ruin, disgrace, and
death before him if he refused, agreed to
the terms. lle also agreed to meet the
stranger, with the required sum, on the
following night in front of St. Paul's
church. Both were punctual to the fixed
time, and bills and checks to the amount
of one hundred thousand dollars changed
hands.
A month later, there was a tremendous
rush on the bank of which Stephen Ed
wards was the principal owner. It was
soon broken and. closed. Then the sheriff
was set to work by eager creditors, and all
the real estate and personal property of
the late millionaire were seized and sold,
leaving him a beggar and many just
claims unsatisfied. Fashionable friends
deserted"the family, and the proud noble
man refused the hand of the ruined bank
er's daughter.
In the very midst of his disgrace and
tribulation, Stephen Edwards encounter
ed the man who turned so pale and be
came so agitated in his presence a short
time before.
" I think you do not know me, sir,"
said the gentleman, with a formal bow.
"Your face seems familiar, but I can
not place you," said Edwards.
" Permit me to bring myself to your
recollection then; I wish you to know me.
A little over six weeks ago, I was talking
with you on business, and you observed
that I turned deathly pale and became
agitated."
"Ali, yes; I do remember you now."
" Let me tell you why I was thus af
fected. My eye had just chanced upon a
curious watch-seal, which had once be
logged to a merchant named Philip Sid
ney, who was shot in the western part of
this State, some twenty years ago; and on
looking at your featurys closely, I knew
you to be the very villAn who perpetrated
the foul deed."
" Merciful GodP , exclaimed the banker,
with a blanched face and quaking form.
Yes, I knew you," Pursued the other;
"and a week afterward I disguised my
self, and had an interview with you in your
mansion. You remember that of course!"
" But," gaspeil the trembling wretch,
"did I not pay you your own price to
keep my fatal secret?"
"Fes, and with that very money, and
what other I could command, I was enab
led to buy up enough of your own bills to
make that run on your bank which broke
it, and forced ruin upon you."
"And what would you do, now that I
am ruined?" inquired the other, with the
deadly calmness of desperation.
" Now that I have had my revenge, I
want you to know that I myself am the
man you attempted to murder and did
role! I am Philip Sidney! Behold the scar
where die ball struck and glanced!" and
he lifted his hat and showed it.
"God be praisedP 7 ejaculated the other,
"God be praised that you are still living!"
and unable to restrain his emotions, he
burst into tears. ''o sir!" he continued,
"you have taken a load from my con
science—a weight from my soul. Though
poverty, disgrace, beggary, and death are
staring me in the face, I am happy in the
knowledge that I am not guilty of murder
—more happy than Ihave been for twenty
years, with all the luxurious surround
ings of wealth! It was my first and last
Crime, and I have never been able to tell
how 1 was tempted to so outrage my own
nature as on that fearful occasion. Now,
sir, do with me what you will--only I
pray you be merciful to my innocent
family."
" I forgive you!" returned the other
extending his hand. "I forgive you. You
have been fearfully punished already, and
as God has seen tit to preserve us both,
and bring us together, let us hope it is for
our present and future salvation, and en
deavor to live so as to deserve the bless
ings we receive. I will restore you enough
to keep you and your family above want;
and for the rest, I trust we shall both remem
ber we shall have to render an account of
our stewardship in another world."
Philip Sidney kept his word; and with a
fresh start in the world, and now an easy
'conscience, the still enterprising Stephen
Edwards accumulated a respectable for
tune, much of which he spent in charity,
Philip Sidney died in 1847, and Stephen
Edwards in 1851.

moving for the right of suffrage for all
young men over eighteen years of age.

eighteen years of age, to march to the
field and light for his country, he is also

denied, on the score of intelligence.
MAYOR. Hall, of New York, has issued
an official circular, cautioning strangers
against swindling prospectuses, •ient from

promised greater than the price asked to
be paid. Ilis Honor gives notice that
every such advertisement is necessarily a
fraud, and a false pretence, and country
newspapers which advertise them, he says,
arc simply aiding the swindle.
