his shout
Is ringing through parlor and hall, •
While, swift as the wings of the swallow heVout,
And his playmates have answered his call !
It makes the heart leap but to witness their joys—
Proud wealth has no pleasure, I trow,
Like the rapture. that throbs in the breast of the
boy
As he gathers his treasure of snow!
Then lay not the trapping of gold on thine heirs,
While health and the riches of nature are theirs.

From her mirror to watch the flakes fall ;
Like the first rose in summer her dimpled cheek

While musing•on sleigh ride and ball—
There are visions of coquets,' of splendor and

Floating over the drear winter's day ;
But the tidings of hope on the storm beaten earth,
Will melt, like the snow flakes, away—
Turn, turn thee to heaven, fait maiden, for b!iss•—
That world has a pure fount ne , er opened in till,.

How stifled the voice of her prayer,
Its burden ye'll read in her tear swollen eyes,
On her cheek sunk with fasting and care ;
'Tie night—and her fatherless ask her for bread—
But " He gives the young ravens their food," °
And she trusts, till her dark hearth adds sorrow to

As she lays on her last chip of wood ;
Poor sufferer! thy sorrow thy God only knows—

THE BRILLIANT LOCKET
A STORY FROM REAL LIFT
It was in the autumn of the year IStio, wnen
the republican army under ley, Moreau, I:ainb,
Cyr, and other of its bravest generals, was pur;iiing
its victorious carets', and laying waste some of the
most impt?rtant towns in Germany, the ciiruin
stance that we a a Aunt to relate took place.
The frequent so ant of stores, ammunition and
money, in the republican armies, and the hope of
plunder, then so frequently held out to the French
soldiers as the reward of victory, caused no incon
siderable alarm in thebreaats of the more peacea
ble inhabitants of those places which were consid
ered likely to become the theatre of hostilities.
Among these, the inhabitants of a German town
of considerable importance—and which for distinc
tion we will call Ebristier—had ample reason for
their misgivings; the daily,s uhoost hourly ap
proach of the French being expected.
The family of Paul Kinmay-er, a merchant cit
izen of wealth, was among those most agitated b'y
the afflicting intelligence. His household consisted
of his wile, an only !laughter, and a few domestics
in whom he could place confidence. His daughter
was the spring which regulated every action of
the merchants lire. She was the apple of his eye,
the sunshine of his shady places, for her he had
accumulated his wealth, that her rare beauty might
win with it a staiion of rank and influence, and
the hope of a whole lifetime might be, wrecked in
a few brief hours.
His Wile was the first to suggest a plan of con
cealment of their treasures. Their mansion was
situated near the extremity of the town, and from
it a secret passage communicated with a boiler in
the garden 7 adjoining ; from thence, in the evening,
a man might easily steal unperceived to the adja
cent woods; and there she proposed that the mer
chant should at night time bury his treasure, or, at
any rate, that he should proceed through the for
est and deposit it with a relation who was to be
trusted, who would not be suspected of possessing
so much wealth, and who resided about two days'
journey from the place.
For a time, Paul Kinmayer resisted every impor
tunity of his wife. Who ' would protect them
should the anticipated attack take place in his ab
sence! The domestics were old and infirm, and
they would be too much alarmed .for. their own
safety to care much for others not akin to them.—
But when his wife spoke upon the future ;' when
she impressed on him that it was wealth only that
would be required of them, and that, deprived of
that, all for which they had so struggled, would be
scattered in a moment, his resolution gave way.
I go," said he, " and leave you in the trust of
one whose all-powerful hand will protect you ; un
less, indeed, in his infinite w isdom, he deems it fit
ting that the innocent should fall as an example
and terror to the guilty."
Collecting all that was most valuable into a
small packet, as the evening alrproached, the mer
chant was prepared to depart. One jewel onl!,,
remained behind—it was his own miniature, set in
a locket, with diamonds of great value. It was
his wedding gilt to Amelia, and with it he hesita
ted to part, and he placed it again around her neck
with the same fervor and affection ttiat he felt
when he first presented it. To her and, to his daugh
ter, the namesake of her Mother, he gave some ne
cessary direction for their welfare during his ab
sence, od taking an affectionate farewell,' lie de
parted unknown to airy but themselves.
ft was in the evening of the fourth day after the
merchant had departed, that the roll of the drums,
and the shrill Voice of the trumpet among the inhab
itants without, proclaimed to the Mutates of the
mansion that the enemy was tat approaching.—
The town, was indeed, lithal with the Austrian
troops but these had been so often and lately har
rusted and defeated by the victorious arms of the
French, that it was not without reason the citizens
felt strong misgivings in their prowess.
All chance of the merchant being enabled to
reach his house, or even IA obtain admittance with
in town previous to the termination, was note en
tirely shut put. The wife had but little doubt that
his reputed wealth would not permit the house to
pass unmolested ; and after causing the house to
be barricaded, the windows and shutters secured,
she then proceeded with her daughter to the inner
most apartment of the mansion.
CHAP lEH I I
On the return of the merchant, the Fretich arm
was evacuating the place, carrying with them the
trophies they had wrested from the conquered Aus
trians, and a large supply of stores and plunder
from the devotedltown. Paul's heart died within
him as he ste a lthily entered the suburbs, and pro
ceeded towards the place of his residence.
Within the toWn was confusion and dismay, here
were open storehbuses rifled of their contents, the
very doors torn from their hinges; there, the trim
gardens of the richer classes broken down and
trampled over ; in the market places were groups
the middle and lower classes, loudly complaining
of the excesses of Austria and France. Still Paul
stopped not to join in the general outcry; his only
anxiety was his own lime. At length be reached
his dwelling. With what a pang of intense anxiety
he rushed in through the open portal ! The ser
vants had evidently fled; the stairs bore the marks
of heavy footsteps. Paul stopped not to examine
them, or he would have seen that they were traced
with gore. I .
With the speed of thought he rushed into the
accustomed sitting-room, and there a horrid spec
tacle awaited him. On the ground lay his wile,
stabbed through the heart.; one hand had fallen
back as if to protect her from the attack of the
assassin, while the other grasped tightly a few links
of the slight goldichain to which had been:attached
the diamond-modnted portrait.
Of his 'daugh4, there was no trace. Loudly
did he call, and wildly did he seek, first in his own
house, and then through the whole of the town,
until it was whispered abroad .that• he was mad;
and so, for a time, he was; but anxiety brought
weariness, and re ose led to recollection:.
How deeply Paul Kinmayer reproached himself
for not taking t 4 miniature with the other valua
bles. need not be I related. since he little doubted
that his wife's resistance to part with it led to the
fatal catastrophe One redeeming thought only
flashed across hiS mind, that by its agency=if, in
deed, she had not shared the fate of her mother—
he might be enabled to discover the missing laugh.
ter. To this end, he resolved to devote the whole
of his future existence ; and after the funeral of his
wife, he disposed of his house, the wreck of his
household goods; and prepared to travel; w hither,
be knew tiotibM anywhere to fly from the scenes
where all his hopes of happines had been blighted
by the ruthless Land of the destroyer.
" And these," he said, as he turned from his na
tive town and lime, "are the deeds perpetrated
under the sacred banner of liberty !—Alas ! how is
the divine attribute desecrated !—How little but the
name exists blood-thirsty dynasty of France!'
CHAPT6II 111
Shall we folloW the steps of Paul Kimmayer for
twelve years? Shall we relate how he travelled in
strange lands, even in the wake of the Fresh army
—sometimes in disguise—how minute, but yet how
cautious were hiS inquires, and, alas! how fruitless"!
Shall we say how the hale man grew grey and fee
ble as though half a century had passed over his
head, in scarcely more than a tithe of one ! No ;
for we could relate
t 9othing that would interest the
reader—nothinglrut, the patient suffering of a be
reaved man ; hoping, but hopeless—seeking, but
finding it not; uhtil it almost seemed that the fac
ulties of the wanderer had ceased to embrace the
original object o f his mission; but they did not—
they only slumbered.
It was something beyond twelve years after the
scene related in our second chapter took place, that
a French officer lwas reciting, in one of the princi
pal cafes of Paris, to an eager crowd of listeners,
the particulars Of an inglorious:retreat from Russia,
of which he was one of the few survivors. His
age could not 14ve exceed thirty, but the dreadful
hardships of the Russian campaign had told fear
fully upon his hardened features. War, however' ,
had not tamed, but had evidently added to, a natu
rally ferocious disposition; for he was detailing,
I „
with satisfaction, the norriu torments of the enemy
already forgetful of the severities he had just esca
ped, and to whlch so many of his comrades hail
fallen a sacrifice. •
Among those:who listened most attentively was
a stranger, who sat, almost unnoticed, smoking in
an obscure corner of the room i an involuntary ex
pression of disgust, at length betrayed him, and all
eyes were immediately turned to where he sat.
"I'll wager a Napoleon," said the officer, that
the old Germari never smelt powder but on a re
view day ; and never saw more smoke , than that,
vhich now proCeeds from his meerschaum."
"Better if others were like me; who, remem
bering only that they are soldiers, forget that they
"How !" exclaimed the officer, starting on his
feet; "sentiments here are dangerous; but you Ger
mans are ever mystical. However, tell you a
German adventure, so, garcon, another bottle of
coti roti, and then Do you happen to know
the German tisiwn of Ebriestien ?" inquired the
officer.
The dull eye,of the stranger seemed suddenly lit
eith a liquid fire, as he answered in the affirma-
"It was my first campaign," continued the officer.
" My father was one of the bravest, (he meant one
of the most blood-thirsty) leaders of the revolution.
His influence obtained for me a commission; and,
crowned with success, I found no difficulty in earn.
Mg for myself promotion. In the' action alluded
to, we were allowed but two hours to make what
pillage we could in the town of Ebriestien before
we proceeded onward to greater and more glorious
victories. Well, there was a jeweller of great
wealth, whose house was pointed out to me by an
Austrian prisorier ; we entered, but in which nei.th•
er jewels nor ilortable valuables could we find.—
The servants (led on our first entrance ; the wife
and daughter alone remained. The latter had lock.
ed%themselvs i 4 a room, which we soon burst open;
we demanded of them their valuables; the trumpet
bad already sounded 'to horse!' and I was prepa
ring to \ leave the house, when a gold chain around
the neck of the elder female attr 4 acted my attention.
There was attached to it—"
"A portrait l" asked the stranger, in a tone of
ill-concealed anxiety.
"Don't interrupt me," said the narrator c " the
story' is dialer than any would imagine."
The blood df the stranger came and went rap.
idly, and pit ttMg down' his pipe, he was observed,
for the moment feeling about his pocket, as if in
search of some missing article.
" You're right, it was a portrait; and in a most
valuable setting. Provoked at obtaining no booty,
demanded iti of her; she should have had the
worthless miniature, but she was obstinate. I
tried to force it from her, but she resisted; nay,
more, she tried to seize a pistol from my belt, and ,
in the,heat of my passion, I stabbed her."
" Have you that portrait still asked the Ger
man,
" - I have ; thOugh it has been taken from the set
ting, in villielione of my own glitters You said
you knew Ebriestien?" - •
CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 20, 1852,
"I did years ago:
And probably the original of this picture
said the officer, producing it—
" Weill—well F
" Ah ! is he alive,-
"He is—to be the avenger)" And before a
movement was observed by the bystanders, Paul
Kintnayer had, with fatal precision, levelled a
pistol at the French officer; and shot him in the
breat.
Mortally wounded, but not dead, he, who had
braved the heat of a hundred battles, and whom
death had spared that be might make more suita
ble atonement for his guilt, was carefully removed
to a private apartment.
Paul, who might have escaped in the confusion,
did nottempt to do so, and he was, of course,
taken into custody, and incarcerated in one of the
dungeons of the police.
The following morning he was led forth foi ex
amination; the wife or the fallen officer, he was
told, would be the accuser. But he walked with a
firmer step and 'a
lighter heart than usual. One
portion of his mission had been accomplished ; he
had avenged his wile's murder, but he found no
traces of his daughter.
On reaching the place of examination, he was
commanded to stand; a shriek—a long, agonizing
shriek—was heard, and the prosecutrix fell sense
less on the floor.
Restoratives were applied, and on her recovery,
the cause of her agitation was soon apparent:
"It is my father!" she said, and breaking thro'
the crowd, she again tell senseless in his arms.
The impetus of her tall caused a locket to drop
from her bosom, where it was still suspended by a
chain. Paul Kinmayer snatched it up. Yes, it
was the same—the circlet of bfilliants; but now it
contained the portrait of—whom 't
of his daugh
ter's husband—the murderer of his wife!
Passing, her to one of the attendants, the old
man smote his breast, and called Aloud in his
trouble—
"Was it for this thou wort perceived, in) , beau
tiful, my pure ?"
In consequence of the state of the witness, the
examination was postponed, and the same evening
the dying man requested that the prisoner, together
with the chief of police, might attend him.
On their arrival, life was ebbing fast. - The con
fession of the officer was brief; he admitted. the
murder'of Paul's wife, and the justice of the retri
bution ; he further confessed that the datighter, be
ing almost a child, was carried away by the sol
diers to the rear of the army, that she was forced
from the, apartment previous to, and knew nothing
of her mother's fate ; and that, repenting of his act,
he had her conveyed to Paris, and educated her at
his own charge. With her years her loveliness in
creased; and she, only known to Lim as a benefac
tor, at last consented to many bins.
This confession was attested and forwarded to
the Emperor. Meanwhile the friends of the officer
came forward as prosecutors, his wife refusing to
do so. The murder in the latter case was fully
proved, and Paul was sentenced to death.
On the morning appointed for his execution, he
was reprieved, and suffered to enter a monastery,
where he soon sunk under a broken heart.
With his wealth, which was considerable, he
founded a convent for the " Sisters of Mercy;" and
in the still beautifUl abbess, whose piety and be
rievolence have, with justice, been lavded and ad-
Mired, may be discovered the unfortunate daughter
of Paul Kinmayer.
A Panther Hunt
A correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger fur
nishes them with the following details of the cap
ture of three of these "varmints."
Three young men of Brady township, Clearfield
county, Pa., named Jackson Long, Joseph Dale and
Joab Ogdea, pursued three panthers, and the first
day they overtook them ; a small dog which they
had along, treed the two young panthers, which
they shot. Night coming on. the men made afire
and remained all night on the track of the old pan
ther. Next morning they renewed the pursuit,
and, in a wind-fall, got within a few feet of the old
panther, when she ran off, at full speed. Some
time after they came to a hole among the rocks,
in which the panther had entered. The dog was
in too, a part of the way, and barking at her,.—
Here nine hundred and ninety-nine out of a thous
and would have shrunk from the danger of enter
ering, but not so with our hero ; for, without hesi
tation, Mr. Long prepared himself, and, with a ri
fle in hand, entered, and, after going about twen
ty feet, the hole contracted so as to oblige him
to crawl on his hands and knees. After he got in
some filly feet, he perceived two fiery eyes glaring
at him, he took aim as well as he could, in the
darkness and shot her dead on thrisTiot. He then
took hold of her, but could not parker out, on ac
count of some loose stones. He then went out,
procured a rope, all re-entered, and fastening the
rope .around her neck, he hauled her out. The
panther measured upwards of nine feet Crum the
nose to the end of the tail. This is not Mr. Long's
first exploit, and, I predict it trill not be hie last
one, if he lives.

DR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, 1.011
don, Graduate from one of the most eminent Col
leges of the United States and the greater part of
whose life has been spent in the llo;pitals of Lon
don, Paris, Philadelphia, mid elsewhere, has affect
ed some of the most astonishing cures that were
ever known. Many troubled with ringing in the
ears and head when asleep,great nervousness. tieing
alarmed at sudden sounds, and bashfulness, with
frequent blushing, attended, sometimes, with de•
rangement of mind, were cured immediately.
'PARE PAR'I ICELAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by private and improper indulgencies,
that secret and solitary habits, which ruin both
body and mind, unfitting them for either bdSilit'Ss
or society.
These are some of the sad and melancholy ef
fects produced by early habits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the back and limbs, Pains to the head,
Dimness of Sight, Lose of Muscular Power• Pal
pitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous It rim•
Willy, Derangement of the Digestive Functions,
General Debility, Symptoms of Consumption, &c.
Mentally.—The fearful effects on the mind are
much to be dreaded : Loss of Memory, Confusion
of ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil of Foreho•
ding, Aversion of Society, Self' Distrust, Love of
Solitude, Timidity, &c., are some of the evils pro
duced• •
NERVOUS DEBILITY
Weakness of the system, Nervous Debility end
premature decay generally arises from the destruct
ive habit of youth, that solitary practice so fatal to
the healthful existence of man, and it is the young
who are the most apt to become its Victims from
an ignorance of the dangers to which they subject
themselves. Parents and Guardians are often mis
led with respect to the cause or source of disease
in their sons and wards. Alas! how often do they
ascribe to other causes the wasting of the frame,
Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Indigestion,
Derangement of the Nervous System, Cough and
Symptoms of Consumption, also those serious
Mental effects, such as loss of Memory, Depres
sion of Spirits or peculiar fits of Melancholy, when
the truth is they have been caused by indulging
Pernicious but alluring practices, destructive to
both Body and Mind. Thus tire swept from ex
istence thousands who might have been of use to
their country, n pleasure to their friends, an orna
ment to society.
WEAKNESS OF THE ORGANS
immediately cured and full vigor restored.
Oh, how happy have hundreds of misguided ;
youths been !node, who have been soddenly resto
red to health from the devastations of those terrific
maladies which result from indiscretion. Such
persons, before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
should reflect that a sound mind and body are the
!host necessary requisites to promote connubial
•happiness. Indeed, without this, the journey tiro'
life becomes a weary pilgrimage; the prospect
hourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes
shadowed with despair, and filled with the melan•
dimly reflection that the happiness of another be
comes blighted with our own. Let no halve delica
cy prevent you, but apply immediately.

or as'a Gentleman, and confidently rely upon his
skill as a Physician

The many thousands cured at this institution
within the last ten years, and the numerous im
portant Surgical Operations performed by Dr. J.,
witnessed by the .Reporters of the papers and ma.

again and again before the public, is a sufficient

111 HE subscriber respectfully informs the public
I that he has lately completed a TRIPLE POW
ER INTERNAL GEARED HORSE POWER,
which outrivals any other in use, It is made en
tirely of Iron, both Frame and Gearing. The Jour
nals are Cast-Steel—its weight is 600 lbs. On trial
it has proved itself capable of performing front 50
to 100 per cent. more work than other Powers with
the same labor of the team. It is warranted to
hold 8 horses.
I have also completed a combined THRESHER
AND. CLEANER, which is capable of Threshing
and Cleaning from 300 to 500 bushels of wheat per
day, with from 6 to S Horses, and an equal number
of hands. 4 horses can thresh with it,from 100 to
200 bushels per day of wheat, and 400 to 500 of
oats. It is very convenient for those who follow
Threshing, and for two or more farmers to own in
company ; it is more convenient to move than any
machine in use. The Machine stands on the wag
on while threshing—the Power is loaded on the
same wagon in moving—two horses are sufficient
to move it • it will save enough labor in threshing
2000 bushels to pay its extra cost. It will thresh
in the field or by a stack as conveniently as in a barn.
The cylinder and concave can readily
,be adjusted
so as to thresh with equal facility both tough and dry
grain. It is free from the complication and liability
to get out of order of other machines of the kind,
and of less cost—price $lOO,OO.
