GEORGE PRATT, No. 151 Nassau Street THE MIDNIGHT WIND. AT THE BEE HIVF THE LITTLE FEET; OR, THE AMATEUR SHOEMAKER Wci't you take away your admiring gaze from my pretty feet, Clifford ; dear? I thirst not go to sleep for fear you will carry them ofti and I shall awake footlessl" The speaker was a roguish and elegant young girl, nestling down into the, rosy 'pillows of a lounge. As she spoke she drew up her delicate feet beneath the rustling folds of her dfess "Your pretty feet, indeed!" was the reply of the young gentleman, taking up one of his sister . s.beau. tilul brown tresses from tne pillow where it floated. "My little sis, I fear you are spoiled—such com• placent vanity is amusing: . "Then let the responsible thought he yours that you spoiled me, dear; how should I know my feet were so fairy-like, if you had, not told me so ten times a day. Are you not always quoting Mrs. Osgood's: " Well, f know it, but I can't help it. for they certainly are the prettiest I ever saw And lam sure," be continued, his dark eyes growing more thoughtful than the occasion seemed to warrant, "if I have spoiled you, you have returned the com pliment with interest, else I should have been mar ried before now. Twenty-eight, and never been engaged to a woman yet, for the very reason that in looking at my little sis's feet so much, my ideas of the beauty of such articles have g rown so perfect that I have never met any other lady who pleased me." ' "1 should be ashamed of you, Clifford, it I thought you spoke in earnest. You forget, do you, a lady's grace, beauty, goodness and intellect because her shoes are a trifle larger than your sister Grace's?" "Don't reprove me, sis, for I philosophise upon tie mother; I want a woman with heart, and soul, and intellect—to love and be sensible; but if her head is full of thought and her heart full of affec tion, how can they be properly balanced? how, I ask, can they be spit-ince/C:4 unless the feet that uphold them are fashioned in the perfectness of tightness and grace?" 'You had better enlarge upon your wonderful theory, and aive the world the benefit . of your scientific and philosophic arguments in three quarto volumesf' said Grace with meek gravity, raising her halt shut lashes till the mirthful flash of her eyes met the half comical, half serious look of her bachelor brother. It is so provoking! when I have absolutely the most charming friend in the world,,whom I had selected for you, and expected you to be grateful and delighted—but, alas! her feet, they are positively large. Continuing your own theory, though, I should suppose that it was necessary they should be large to support the im mense amount of sensibility, goodness, and grace or her soul." "What is her name ?" "Madeline Mellen. She lives in Philadelphia. She has spiritual eyes." "Hush, hush, I do not care about her eyes—l shall not go to see. her—you need not pout, sis you had no right to be so beautiful yourself, and make me so particular." "I shall say nothing more to you this afternoon, sir Bachelor,' murmured the young girl indignantly. Wherewith she nestled her flushed cheek closer to the pillow, fossed back a curl that had crept over to silence her lips, and shut her eyes deter minedly, notwithstanding the slight quiver of the bright lashes. Clifford Wells smiled upcn his sweet pet; and. rising from the easy chair, paced slowly to and fro through the luxurious parlor. As his thoughts quickened so did his pace, till at length so absorbed was he in his new ideas, that he ran over an otto man, and when startled by the sound, Grace opened her sleepy, snowy eyelids, her elegant and dignified brother was kissing a rose in the tufted carpet, evidently a little astonished himself at the gallant teat. "Has some charming shoe been pressing that flower?" asked the mischief, with a laugh so merry that it made Clifford blush at his own expense as he rose to his feet. Jutelligencer & )ournal. p oetrp. LONG AGO When at eve I ait alone, Thinking of the past and gone— While the clock with drowsy ringer, Marks how slow the minutes linger— And the embers, dimly burning, Tell of life to dust returning,— Then my lonely chair around With a solemn mournful sound, With a murmur soft and low, Come the ghosts of Long Ago. • One by one I count then . ; o'er, Voices that are heard no more, Tears that loving cheeks have wet Words, whose music lingers yet— Holy faces, pale and fair, Shadowy locks and waving hair— Gentle sighs and whispers dear— Songs forgotten many a year— Lips of dewy fragrance—eyes, Brighter, bluer than the skies— Odors breathed from Paradise;-- And the gentle shadows glide, Softly murmuring at my side, • Till the long and gloomy day, All forgotten, fades away. Thus when I am all alone, Dreaming o'er the past and gone, All around me sad and siow, Come the ghosts of Long Ago =II Mournfully! Oh how how mournfully This midnight wind cloth Like some sweet plaintive melody, Of ages long gone by! It speaks a tale of other years— 'Of hopes that bloomed to die— Of sunny smiles that set in tears, And loves that mouldering lie. Mournfully!. Oh how mournfully This midnight wind cloth moan ; It stirs some chord of memory, 'ln each dull, heavy one.. The voice qf the much loved dead Seem floating thereupon- T .-. All, my fond heart cherished Ere youth and love had gone. Mournfully! Oh, mournfully This midnight wind doth'swell, With quaint and pensive ministrelsy, Hope's passionate farewell To the dreamy joys of early years, Ere grief's canker fell On the heart's bloom—aye, well may tears Start at that parting knell. ,Zelect MEM= Her lbot is like a fairy's loot, So dainty and so fleet.'" "Now, to punish you for laughing, I shall not. tell you what I was thinking of when I stumbled over the ottoman," said he. "Only just this—in the evening train of cars I shall leave for Philadelphia. and you will not see me again very soon." "Why, Clifford, I shall be so lonely." "Perhaps, then, you will not tease me so much when Ido return. We will see whether there is another poet in the world like my dear pet's.— Goodbye r dear." "Good-bye! Perhaps you are going to see Mad eline Mellen," said Grace, gaily, for she thought her brother was only teasing her. "Oh! Madeline Mellen!" was the impatient re. ply,—"but lam really going now, sis. You shall hear from me in a day or two," and kissing her beautiful forehead, the fanciful bachelor hurried away on the project, the thought of which had caused him one stumble, and the realization of which might cause him another. MEESE In a shoe-store, in a fashionable street in the city of Brotherly-Love, a clerk was leaning upon the counter, heedless of the lady-customers that throng ed the establishment. Many proud eyes looked with surprise at the refined and aristocratic air of the handsome clerk. But his earnest glance was bent upon a lady who was raising on the opposite side of the street. There was an exceeding grace in her manner, as she glided quietly. along, and as the gazer regarded her with intense interest, she crossed the way a few paces below, and in a mo• ment entered the store. "Have you fine French gaiters?" she enquired in a sweet voice, blushing unaccountably at the earn est gaze of his dark eyes—unaccountably, ior why should one accustomed to admiration, blush at the regard of a clerk. The young man glanced at her hand—it was exquisitely small, and handed a pair of number ones. The shoes were small enough, but her loot was rather peculiarly shaped, and they would not lit nicely. nDid they make shoes at this establish ment r "If she would have a pair of gaiters made, lie would take the measure—and seating her in a furnished recess, she disengaged her foot from its dainty slipper, and the young clerk kneeling with tape in hand, took its delicate dimensions. Oh. yes! the handsome shoemaker, with the dark, pi collar eyes, and thotightful, elegant air, the deferential manner, was kneeling before the young, girl to •take the measure of her foal r But as, in terested and surprised by his faultless demeanor and earnest, intellectual face, the beautiful girl regarded urn e ith wonder, lie had much rather have whis pered to her the burning secret of his heart while bending thus lowly before her. In the attitude of adoration, yet he dare not adore ! It was not the exquisite oTace of that tiny loot—no! no! he had remarked the sweet blush upon her cheek, and the deep, pure, spiritual light in her large grey eyes; and the mere shoemaker, as if he hail been a man of the world, and had moved all his life in society, studying its mind and motives, understood the gifted and fair girl, and would have laid his heart at her feet—the little feet that looked too sacred for him to touch. That would have been ridiculous, would itMot ? For the soulless admiration of exquisites, the formal affection of grave men, the deep love of gibed poets hail been offered her—and would not the words in which the young clerk might form his feelings, have sounded strange to her aristocratic ear? Oh! the very height of first love! madness that would have been! So the shoemaker thought nothing, except to tell her that the shoes would be finished the next day; but he thought all the more; and if I should say that the radiant young girl' went out of the shoe store with the most perfect; image of manly perfectness impressed indelibly upon her heart, this would be quite a French story, would it not? but I do not say so, neither tempt you to draw the inference ! Busily the young shoemaker fashioned the tiny gaiters that were to be called for on the morrow. Though the proprietor of the establishnient thought him more appropriately occupied in the show rooms, yet he would make every inch of those pre cious shoes. With every stitch he sewed in a burn• ing thought, and it the soul of the maker could have an influence On the wearer, the dreamy young maiden with the pensive eyes would have only vis ions of luve, and poetry, and beauty, while those haunted shoes bound her slight feet. =MEM •'1 don't feel very much flattered by your recep tion, Madeline, mine, - said Grace Wells, the even ing after her arrival on a visit to the pensive -eyed friend she had selected for the runaway brother; "here Clifford must start away and leave me to in dulge some wild caprice, and now that I have come to be consoled for his absence, aid perchance to find him, half this evening you have been sitting with ybur eyes fined on the floor ; utterly regardless of pour poor deserted visiter." " Why, Grace, have said the young girl with a blush, drawing a low seat to the feet of het friend and leaning her beautiful head on her lap as she looked up in her face. Graces little white hand looked charming es she laid it amid those ebon masses of hair, sweeping over the pure forehead and heaving upon the bosom of the young, poetical Madeline. That proud, par ticular broter would have had the heart ache sadly ; if he could have guessed how (lovingly those young girls were sitting there, and he so far away. And if he had looked upon the bright spiritual lace of his sister's friend--that lace so eloquent— with its exceeding pureness and sweet smile—the peerless forehead and the large, beaming, pensive eyes that seemed to ask for tenderness and trust, the laintly - tinted, softly-dimpled cheek—the rich, proud, tender lip, and, over all, the ineffable expres sion of the soul—perhaps he would have forgotten what Grace told him about the foot, at least he would have been more surprised than you yet know a reason for. Grace, too, looked very beautiful, with her pla cidly pleasant thee, that was gentle and faultless and a little mirthfid—her slight, elegant form, and her white attn lying caressingly amid Madeline's dark treses. She was a year or two older than the fair girl at her feet. though she was not quite twenty. "Nk'ill you tell me what made you so thoughtful. if I will not complain of your neglect l she asked with a slight smile. "Oh! I am sure you would laugh at me, Grace. was thinking of—of a shoemaker that I saw today." Grace did, indeed, laugh merrily. 'Really, my fair poetess, can your glowing imagination conjure up no more romantic ideal than a shoemaker. You, my little fastidious one, who shrank away from stony dignitaries and curl your red lip at dandies, and shudder at fortune seekers—you, who talk about cultivated soul, refine ment blended with intellect, about the 'stature of a perfect man'—have you descended to love at first sight—and a shoemaker You must have a vivid fancy, my bright dreamer?" "You are not in earnest, Grace; you are trying to fret me—just as if I loved this shoemaker be cause I thought of-him. was wondering how one evidently so elegantly, exceedingly refined, so handsome and so intelligent, should have been in such a station. It caused me to reflect that perhaps there were those worthy of more than indifference and scorn out of this aristocratic circle, where I see so much to despise. Grace, dear, don't you think there is?" "Probably he was wealthy once," was the reply, "and has met his change of position with a good grace. That is certainly a great virtue. And I think it would be as great a virtue in you to win him away from hfg present situation, and place him here in this splendid home, which is so much better suited to his taste—besides you know you are lonely with only grandma and aunt Effie for companions." " Oh ! I shall get angry with you, Grace, if you do not stop teasing me," said the sweet girl, blush. ing crimson. "But Ido think it is sad for him to be there among such companions as clerks."— "Alas, my foolish brother,"- sighed Grace to herself, "you and Madeline are certainly lost to each other. I never will try to bring about another match. How does he look ?" she added aloud; and then continued to herself, "I wish I had not told him that story about her foot; but I wanted him to love her for her beautiful soul." "I am sure I cannot tell," said Madeline, "I only know that he was singularly handsome and had such eyes as I never saw before-they were deep and changeable—not blue, nor hazel, nor black— they were too eloquent to have a color!" "Indeed!" was all Grace said as she fell into .a musing mood immediately. A thought, had oc curred to her that awakened an interest in the young clerk as deep as her friend could have wished. "I shall go with you to see this prodigy to-morrow," she said at length. "and, perhaps, we will have a romance yet, such as we have sometimes dreamed The next day the two young ladies called at the shoe store. Grace entered, she pulled her veil down dm-her face. The clerk was there, and the gaiters were finished. A dainty, delicate pair were they, and fitted those little feet to a nicety. As Madeline took out her purse to pay for the shoes, she asked her companion in a low voice in Italian— " Is he not beautiful?" Grace pretended not to hear, so as to make no reply ; but a Hash of mischief lighted up the face of the clerk, so bright and irresistable that the color grew rosier still when he replied in the same lan guage with a slight bow— " Thanks, dear lady." Smiling at her own blunder, and quite confused, the young girl Mimed away and, followed by her friend, crossed the sidewalk \and was in the street ; too much absorbed in her lionder and embarrass meat to hear the terrified voice of Grace calling her back, of whom she wags a iew paces in advance. A span of frightened horses with a carriage at tached were rushing directly towards her. They were but a few leaps from the beautiful when she heard the cries of many and the crushing of the vehicle. Turning her head, she beheld them leap ing and rushing, so near—it seemed as if she were already beneath the feet ol the terrible animals. She could not fly, but stood suddenly still with' her hands elapsed. Deaf and blind, and motionless with sudden terror, she heard nothing till a low, earnest voice uttered fervently— " Thank God!" Opening her eyes she met those deep ones of the stranger, and fainted in the strong arms which had grasped her from destruction. At this moment the carriage of the Meliens came up, and stopped, as the ladies had directed the coachman to call for them there. The clerk lifted the insensible girl in, mid also Grace, and their; by invitation, entered himself, and the coachman drmie towards home. • So absorbed was he in his lovely charge that they had nearly arrived- there before the stranger noticed who was in the carriage. will not be tray you," he heard a low voice say, and for the first time remembered that he had seen his com panion before, "why, Grace Wells; how came you here? I did not— " Hush r she interrupted him, putting her small hand over his lips, " I will keep your secret," and just then the long lashes of the swooning girl unclosed. The motion of the carriage had revived her, and though she was very weak from fright, yet she was able to sit up with the assistance of her friend Grace, and to thank her preserver with eloquent lips and yet more eloquent eyes. When they were at length arrived, and the clerk had assisted Madeline to the door, she looked plead ing at Grace who smiled encouragingly, and then asked her preserver to come in. " Not now," he said, " until you are rested, you must feel very weary, Miss- - here he paused. " Miss Mellen," murmured Madeline, and as she spoke the name, Grace glanced with a look of tri umph at the stranger. "1 will call, Miss Mellen, when you have recov ered from the fatigue, and bring h'ith me the shoes you lost in your terror," said the clerk with a smile, and retired. He (lid come that evening. The ladies were, by chance alone. Never was an evening passed so happily between strangers before. Beside the in telligence, beauty and refinement of all—something would speak out in the glowing cheeks and timid eyes of the young Madeline, and la the eloquent face of her preserver that told a great deal more than their lips told. " It he is a shoemaker, he is a true, noble man," murmured the sweet maiden as she nestled to sleep on the bosom of Grace. "Oh! yes!" was the sleepy reply of that young girl. And, perhaps this story will be kind of French atter all. MOUE= Twilight was stealing into the back parlor of the Mellen mansion. The fair friends sat in an open window, watching the last crimson tints melt away from the edge of the distant forest. This is a sweet evening to love and be loved," said Grace pensively, looping the silk curtain still further back, as the clarkne3s came up from the dis tance and drew near. While she spoke the door bell rang, and a voice was heard in the hall that made Madeline blush and start. " Good night for the present, - said Grace, gaily hurrying from the room by one door, Just as the visitor came in at the other. - "Come back, dear Grace; cried the young girl. but Grace did not come, for she knew that the call was not in earnest. The visitor came and sat down in the window where Grace had sat. He did not speak, not even to say good evening ; but looked into the drooping face of Madeline with his earnest eyes. Her heart throbbed tremulously beneath his glance, and while her own were concealed by those dark lashes, she murmured in a low voice, with an effort to subdue her embarrassment— " Who is there that will not be happy such a glo riot's night - as this " There is one that is not happy, - was the earnest reply. " Oh! to love—to love with the whole soul a being like thee, Madeline—so pure, so rare, and spiritual abd beautiful—to thrill beneath your smile—to listen to your words—to look upon your loveliness—to drink from the waters of your fresh spirit—yet be kept bark by fate, by circumstances, by poverty, from pleading for your love—Oh ! Mad eline." " Who thinks of gold where the heart is ?" was the almost whispered reply of the young girl, while her lashes sunk still closer in her cheek. " You do not—cannot love me, Madeline?'' The eloquent eyes of the maiden were raised till the intenseness of their' full, loving light burned down into the heart of the lover. " My Madeline! may I believe those eyes ?" The young girl dare not reply. "If I may believe them, dearest--if you do love me, let me kiss butt once that young forehead, my Madeline." The lair brow was bent to the touch of his qui, ering lips—a bright tear fell upon his bosom as he folded her there. What was tate or fortune to the communing spirits who sat tbere—the kindred spirits—the delicate, high-bred heiress and the shoe maker who Fashioned the shoes upon her dainty feet. Sweetly and tenderly their i•oices murmured to gether, making that rare music, the music of the heart. It was, indeed, as Grace had said, an even ing to love and be loved. " But will your friends, aunt Effie, your guardian, consent to your marrying one so lowly as I r asked the lover as the evening wore away. " Alas! I fear not, they do not appreciate you as I do.". " And if they will not—then ?". he asked earn estly. ' " I will share your portion, my dear one, even if I should bind shoes by your-side," was the reply'of the enthusiastic young creature, as her loving eyes rested upon his. " Bless you, Madeline, bless you for your truth .and love, I am not worthy of you. I have a sister, a mother and a home in another city. There I can bear you, and if there is not splendor there is com fort, kindness and overflowing love." " Then with you I would be happy." That night Grace was sleeping softly when Madeline stole to their chamber, but the happy, yet trembling girl awakened her and sitting amid the curtains on the bed-side, she told with eloquent cheeks and hurried words the events of the evening. " Is it not right that I should wed him, when he is so gifted and so good, even if my selfish aunt does object?" she inquired eagerly. " I think you should by all means'," was the ener. getic reply of the young confidant—which advice being disinterested, was, of course, entitled to jlise consideration. The next day or so, Grace went' home. CH AFTER Y. 4 Grace had been at home but a few weeks when one morning she said coaxingly to her mother— " Mamma, may .t give a party l" '; Do you wish to very much, dear !" asked the parent kindly. " Yes, mamma, very much:" " Then.you can, my love, certainly." "Oh ! thank_ you, mamma," and Grace kissed her mothir's cheek.. • The night of the party came—the rooms were tuagnificent--the visitors brilliant, and Orrtee.beau tiful as a star. She seemed unusually happy and a little more excited than her wont; she was usually so queenly and self possessed in society. She was as restless and brilliant as a caged bird, and glanced so much at the hall.doors, that her mother at length remarked it, and coming up, enquired who she was expecting that made her so uneasy. Just as she was about to reply; she heard a voice' in ,the hall that caused her to leave the queition uureplied to, and ran away quite undignified. A travelling carriage stood before the illuminated mansion. " We are at Home, dearest one—at home now," said the young husband as he lifted Madeline from the carriage. "What do you mean ?-1 . am bewildered," mur mured the bride, as he lifted her into his arms and bore her into the hall, where crying and laughing and happy, Grace stood to welcome her brother's bride. "'This is my sister, Madeline ; Grace, ;welcome your friend, I have come home now to be a good boy, I shill !lot make any more shoes this year; I am resolved. But where is mother ?" " Wait a moment, Clifford, dear, don't you see how agitated Madeline is?—she must come to my room and rest a moment and change her dress, whiled take the responsibility of telling mamma." Madeline did pout a little and declare she would go back to aunt Effie—but Grace kissed away •the little frowns and smoothed the,bride's hair; and the gentle mother came in and folded her to her heart so much kinder than h4r cross aunt, that she concluded to stay. Was not the party inn raptures with the beautiful youno• ' bride? "I believe I did make that match, after all," said Grace to herself, though with what reason no one knew. Mrs. Clilliard Wells always kept a pair of half worn gaiters put carefully away in her cabinet of curiosities. And whet') Grace was scolded for the ; falsehood she told about the feet of her friend, she always said that she meant they were " positively" large, comparatively to what they were when she was a baby ; though to be sure they were superlatively small for a full grown woman.

The European Times contains reports of the unfavorable appearance of the potatoes'. Ireland. A sudden and very rapid decay, similar Yo that which occurred in previous years, has taken place in the potatoes of the late planting. The early sorts have escaped. We have before us the most unquestionable .proof that a serious change has taken place in the rot; but whilst the prices ruled low amid undoubted abundance, the alarm has been sounded in all the Irish journals, and as far as our own experience extended, the potatoes seemed more and more tainted every day, IMPORTANT POLITICAL INTELLTOENCE.-TURKEY, By far the most important politie'al news by this arrival, is the possible and even probable rupture of Russia and Austria with Turkey. It forms the chief topic of discourse in the English and French journals, as well as amongst all classes, and in its paramount importance, the Roman difficulty, as well as all other matters of national importance, appears to have been almost wholly lost sight of. The most, recent accounts from Constantinople state that the Emperor has made a formal demand through a special envoy to the Porte for the stir. render of Kossuth, Beat and other patriots, who played a prominent part in the Hungarian struggle, and who have sought refuge at Widden, on the Danube, in the territories of the Sultan. The Turkish government, with a manliness which cannot be too highly commended, refused to be.bullkd into a compromise of its independence, and Prince Rodgival, after ineffectually endeavoring to bully the Sultan into a compliance with his de mands, has taken an abrupt departure from Con stantinople, and Count Titoff, the Russian Minister, has closed all diplomatic relations With the Porte. England and France, through their respective representatives, have prevailed with the Sultan, in keeping hirn firm in his' resolution. Already in England and France. Cabinet councils have been held, to consider these grave circumstances. Not the slightest doubt can be entertained of the result, that should Russia persist in demanding the our. render of those devoted men, an European war will be inevitable. The Paris Journal des Debats ot•Thursday says We are glad to learn that England and France are most cordially united in their determination to sup port their. Ambassadors in the advice given by them to the Porte, respecting the extradition of the Hungarian refugees. A note has been drawn up. DAIIINO ATTEMPT OP A CONVICT TO ESCAPE.— Quite a daring exploit came off la' t week at the State penitentiary at Detroit, in which powder and bullets did their part. The negro W. H. AndersotC convicted in Decemben.lB47, of the brutal murder of Bingham, in Michigan, made a desperate leap on Thursday, to rid himself of what he looked upon as the too rigid and arbitrary rules of that establishment. He first got permission to work in the yard instead of in a shop, on the plea of de clining health. He was put at dressing stone. On Thursday he procured permission to go to an outhouse and took his cold chisel with which he unfastened the ball and chain around his ancles, he came out and went up a ladder leading on to a new building, and going to the west end, made a despe rate leap ,twenty-two feet down on the root of the guard house, (not more than three feet across) on the main wall. Mr. Goodwin, one of the'guard, was in the guard house at the time. The negro next bounded on the wall, and in an instant swung himself off the wall to the ground outside. The wall is 16 or 18 feet high.. The guard caught his carbine and fired the ball taking effect in the 'negro's right arm, - neat the elbow. He kept on Otis course, however, and as he passed the.northwest.eorner of the yard, Mr. Cole, sentinel on that corner of the wall "hit him again," the ball entering the right side just above the hip and going clear through his body. This brought him down, but he immediately recovered, and in double quick time forded or swam the river, and took for the swamp on the west side. In the inean time, Goodwin, Cole and others, were, on his track. The chase lasted some thirty or forty rods,-when Goodwin came up to him, some distance ahead of the others, when the convict, notwithstanding his wounds, showed fight in the most desperate manner. Mr. Goodwin succeeded, however, by using the butt of his carbine, in keeping him off until the other pursuers arrived,. when he finally surrendered to the superiority of nambers. Although pretty severely dealt with, he is doing well, °and the physicians think he will recoven—Press.
