Extract from a recent number of “Household Words, *’ where it appears anonymously : Spare her at least; look, you have taken from me The present, and X murmur not, nor moan; The future, too, with all her glorious promise; But do not leave me utterly alone. Spare me the Past —for, see, she cannot harm you, She lies so white and oold, wrapp’d in her shroud, All, all my own 1 and trust me I will hide her Within my soul, nor speak to her aloud. I folded her soft hands upon her boßom ADd strew’d my flowers upon her—they still live— Sometimes I like to kiss her closed white eyelids, And think of all the joy she used to give. Cruel indeed it were to take her from ine; She sleeps, she will not wake—no fear —again And so I laid her, such a gentle bu#ben, Quietly on my heart to still its pain; I do not think the rosy smiling present, Or the vague future, spite of all her charms, Could over rival her. You know you laid her, Long years ago, then living, in my arms. Leave her at least —while my tears fall upon her, I dream she smiles, just as she did of yore ; As dear as ever to mo —nay, it may be, Even dearer still —since I have nothing more. ‘IHE RESCUE. A TRUE STORY-. More then twenty years ago, there stood an old frame house in the city of New Orleans of a somewhat singular'construc tion. Its low, narrow front was on the llue Royal, near the corner of Bienville, with a massive oaken door literally bound with large bars of iron, whioh none of the neighbors ever remembered to have seen opeu during daylight. But after dark the case was very different. Then,-any body who would have taken the pains to watch unobserved, might perceive and count scores, and even hundreds, approach, al though not more than one or two at a time, and by giving three distinct, and as it seemed, peculiar knocks, and whispering some secret sign-words in the porter’s ear, received admission. At the date-when the incidents happened which I am about to relate, there was a cold Christmas night, long remembered in the South as an extraordinary ooeurrenee for such genial latitudes. The wind blew almost a hurricane, while the mingled snow, sleet, and rain drove every body from the streets and thoroughfares who had any roof for shelter, and who was not kept out by the power of some mighty motive or strong passion. It was about the middle of this tem pestuous night, wbeh a solitary female might be seen advancing with timid and faltering steps down the Rue Royal, from the direction of Canal street,* until she reached a point immediately opposite the old frame building previously described, when she paused, as if to ascertain as to her further progress, and, leaning against a lamp-post, gave way to an uncontrollable paroxysm of the most terrible and hopeless grief. The flickering rays of the lamp above her head revealed enough of her dress to show that- it was of the richest material, notwithstanding its drenched and drooping appearance from the rain, while diamonds sparkled on her fingers, and a heavy watch chain of pure gold encircled her neck. A single glance was sufficient to render ap parent her incomparable beauty, although the brilliant fire of her dark eyes looked dim through one continuous flow of tears, and her face was of a deadly paleness. Whatever might be the ocoasion of her coming forth into the dismal tempest, it evidently had something to do with the old house before alluded to ; for, approach ing it slowly, and with measured steps, she rang the door bell. The summons received no response. It was repeated several times. She then snatohed up a brick-bat from the ground, and struck the iron-bound oaken plank three blows with all the foroe of her arm. This seemed to have the desired effect, for very soon the door was partially opened, and a hoarse and wrathful voice exclaimed : . ‘ Who are you, that dare disturb peace able people at this late hour V ‘ 1 am an unhappy woman,’ was the sad and tumultuous answer. - ‘ What the devil do you want ?’ asked the harsh voice. ‘1 want to come in to see my husband.’ ‘ Who is your husband V inquired the other, in the same rough tone. ‘Major Ryan,’ she responded. ‘For God’s sake, let me see him.’ ‘ I do not know any such man,’ said the voice.- ‘ Oh! do not say so,’ she implored, ‘ because I have seen him enter this door every night during the past week.’ ‘ It is' false,’ cried the voice, in more guttural and angry accentß than ever— ‘ And if you do not leave here instantly, I will set our bloodhound on you. Here, Tiger.’ An ominous and savage growl was heard from within, and a hairy head protruded itself through the half-opened door. The wretched woman retreated in alarm, and the shutter was slammed to and bolted again. She stopped, however, at her former station by the lamp-post, and yield ed to another convulsion of grief more awful to behold than the first. Indeed, she was so overpowered by her despairing thoughts that she did not notffie the ad vance of a man up the street until he passed within three feet of where she stood, and addressed her in tones of po liteness not unmixed with gentle commis eration. ‘ Yotrappear to be in distress,’ said the stranger; ‘ oan I do any thing to relieve you'!’ She started suddenly, and 'endeavored to soan his countenance, but the gloom was too intense, and the light of the lamp too faint to allow any satisfactory examin ation. However, as the voice was not only kind, but very respeotful, she answer ed in aocents the moßt mournful ever heard —‘ 0 sir! lam miserable beyond human endnranoe; and yet no one oan aid me.’ ‘ You should not give way to suoh a de sponding idea,’ he urged, in a still more compassionate manner; ‘ we oan always assist one another with oar advice and sympathy, if nothing more. Tell me, what is the subject of your grief v . She reflected a moment, and the thought ooeurred to her that; perhaps, if she reveal ed the true oause of her sorrow, the other might by some means procure her admit tance into the house from which she had lately been driven away, and this decided her to make the disoiosnre. ‘ It wiU doubtless appear unseemly,’ she began, «to tell a stranger such private matters, as it oertainly looks immodest for a solitary woman to be out in the streets after midnight. In truth I am nearly mad dened by the misfortunes of the past and apprehensions for the future. I am mar ried, and the mother of three dear living children, and one is no more. Myself and husband each inherited muoh wealth, and for years enjoyed all the happiness which riches and affection oan confer, until with in the last few weeks, when he contracted and unoonquerable and mysterious passion for the gaming table, and his own property —farms, houses, lots, slaves, money, every thing—melted away like snow beneath the warm rays of the sun. Then he persuaded me that he had reformed, and, under the pretext of an intention to remove into an other State, induced me to sell out, and turn all 1 had inherited from my poor father into oash, and that has been follow ing the rest, until to-night, when he has taken our only remaining means into yon der hell, will be swallowed up before morning, unless 1 can gain admis sion, and prevent it.’ As she said this she pointed to the old frame house. ‘ What is the name of your husband V inquired the stranger. « Major Ryan,’ she answered ; ‘do you know him V « I know him very well by sight, but have never made his aequaintanoe by any personal introduction,’ was the reply. < Could you not manage to procure me an entrance into that gambling den ?’ she asked in earnest entreaty. ‘ I fear that is impossible,’ was the can did reply. « Then my children are beggars,’ she bitterly shrieked in despair. ‘My children —O my unfortunate children ! Would to God that we were all together in the same grave with your little sister!’ So heart-rending was her tone, so fear ful was the agony of her attitude as she bowed down upon her knees in speechless prayer, on the frozen ground, that even the stranger could not repress his sympa thy, and, after deliberating in silence a minute or more, he came to a benevolent, yet reoklesssly bold conclusion. ‘ I oannot gain for you admission into that house,’ he said, ‘ but I can do what is better —I ean enter myself, and save him from the fangs of the villains within or perish in the attempt.’ ‘la the name of pity, do,’ she prayed, rising to her feet, ‘ and I and my dear ones will bless you forever.’ ‘ I will,’ he rejoined, ‘ but upon one condition—that you will immediately re turn home out of this violent tempest, and stay there patiently, until 1 bring your husband, even if that should not be till morning.’ ‘ I consent,’ she exclaimed, in eager, almost joyous tones. ‘ I will start this instant, and may God prosper you in your holy enterprise.’ And as she spoke she disappeared behind the thiok curtain of darkness. The stranger then passed over to the old building, and gave three low knocks on the door, at intervals of about half a minute each. These were promptly an swered by similar knocks. He then knock ed a fourth time, when he was admitted. The stranger passed through the first apartment, whioh was in a state of total darkness, and entered a second, which was brilliantly illuminated, and where there were two card-tables in full operation, with eight or ten busy players at each.— A quick glanoe at these showed him that the object of his searoh was not present. — He went on into the next, and from that to those beyond it, until he had counted twelve, all similar in their appearance, and having oircles of men engaged in the same perilous pastime ; but he did not find the person whom he came to see and save.— He then approached a dark corner, and descended a flight of stairs. Here he found three individuals in the act of sitting down to a game of poker, and to his great delight, he discovered that one of them was Major Ryan, although the latter did not know him. A tall, heavy man, with a shining bald head, inquired: ‘ Stranger, would you like to take a hand V ‘ I hain’t no objection,’ replied the other in apparent embrassment, and affecting the tone and manners of a boatman ; ‘ that is to say, if t’other fellers here are willin’.’ ‘ Certainly, Sir,’ responded Major Ryan, with a humorous smile. ‘ Certainly,’ said a powerful man with a dark hairy face and piercing black eyes ; ‘ certainly,’ he repeated, ‘ provided you have sufficient money to play the thing out; for it is but right to inform you that we bet very high, the ante itself being ten dollars ; and it is one of our rules that no person shall be permitted to leave the table until he is either broken flat, or unless unanimous consent be given, which I, for one, am not very sure to do.’ ‘ I guess as how I have ammunition enough for a good long fight,’ answered the stranger, ‘ because I have jist sold out my boat load of corn, and here is the size of my pile—only ten thousand dollars.’ And he threw down on the table a large purse, or rather a small bag of gold and bank notes. The hairy faced man emitted a low chuckling laugh, indicative of his belief that the treasure would soon change hands, and the four immediately took their plaoes and commenced a contest of skill and patience suoh as never before or since occurred in the saloons of New Orleans. At first, all the advantage, or what gamblers term the run of luck, seemed to be with Major Ryan, and a pyramid of paper and specie grew up rapidly by his side; but this suddenly changed, and fortune flew over to the gentleman of the bald head, whom the others called Captain Smith, and his enormous accumulations went on until they threatened the rest with bankruptcy, when the fiokle goddess again shifted her golden altar, and shed her brightest smiles upon the hairy face, whose owner was addressed as Squire Jaok. Minutes and hours flew away, and eaoh, by different alternations of triumph and loss, had been exultant and depressed, and still ..that COUNTRY IS THE MOST PBOBMROHB WHSB* LABOB jOOIDtAIIDS THI QBKATCBT BBWABD.”- BPCHAKAH. LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 11, 1859, the game was carriedon with ever increas ing interest. It was a carious study to watoh the several countenances of players, aa'the. tiine progressed, without any-decisive result such as- to,insure' the ultimate victory. The bald headed gentle man seemed .cool and confident even when suffering the heaviest losses. The hairy faced man wore a smile of fiendish deter mination, and the black eyes looked keen enough to pierce through the whole pack of bards down to the very bottom. Major Ryan’s features were flashed and excited, and whenever he dealt, it might be observed that his hand trembled nervonsly. But singular to tell, the stranger whom they had all supposed to be a mere novioe, a harmless boatman or farmer,'evinced the fewest exterior signs, denoting feeling of them all. Not a ripple or change was allowed to rise to the surface of his visage from the deep sea of soul. His small grey eyes appeared to be made of ice, they gazed on every thing with an expression so cold and careless ; and but for the consummate skill whioh he displayed in every move ment, and the reckless bravery of his bets, he might have been mistaken for a man of marble, as passionless, as uninterested in the final issue that was to render him penniless or achieve ample riches. With all of them, as night wore away and morning approached, the energy or attention and concentration of the intel lectual faculties augmented to almost a maddening degree. Still they played on. The words spoken were but few, mostly monosylibio, and perpetually recurring in the same order, such as i out, deal, pass, bet, ante, shuffle,’ etc. For some two hours before the ultimate catastrophe in the game, the eyes of the stranger had observed, without seeming to notice the fact, that whenever it came to Squire Jack’s turn to deal, he cheated by a= trick that no ordinary player could detect. As a consequence, whenever the hairy faoe gave out the cards, Major Ryan was the loser, until his pocket had been lightened by some six thousand dollars. As usually happens in such oases, he was unceasingly making desperate efforts to retrieve his fortune j and these, for the same reason, only tended to involve him the more. As the stranger had discovered the Squire’s trick, without saying anything, he silently invented a counter manoeuvre to defeat it, and soon played his hands so successfully as to divide and even halve the immense mountain of winnings that had accumulated by the elbow of his adversary. Vexed and irritated by this sudden change in his luck, the Squire ventured another and different act of legerdemain, and attempted to shuffle or ‘ stock’ the cards, as the technical express ion is, so as to give all parties very powerful suites, intending, as a matter of course, to reserve the strongest for him- Belf. But while he was carefully preparing the arrangement, the stranger’s smali‘grey eyes all at once turned into flashing orbs of fearful fire, his lips wreathed with a smile of strange meaning, and he said in a low, yet awfully distinct and sneering tone — ( Squire Jack, don’t be a rascal! If you go to cheating I’ll out both of your ears off!’ ‘ Do you know to whom you are addres sing suoh language V exolaimed the other, in a loud and menacing tone. ‘ I don’t wish to know you any better than I do at present, lest I should find you out to be a still greater thief than I even now think you are*, and in all conscience that is bad enough,’ was the reply. ‘ lam Jack Jones of Mississippi,’ re joined the hairy face, with thundering em phasis, as if he expected to bring the en emy to his knees by the bare announce ment of his name, well known as being that of a celebrated duelist, ‘ and I have shot down half-a-dozen men at the first fire without allowing them the chance to touoh a trigger.’ As he said this, he pulled out his pistol, cooked it and laid it in his lap under the tahjl, while his partner, Captain Smith, did the same. ‘ And I,’ exclaimed the stranger, smil ing still more ferociously, ‘ am named Col. William Bowie, and I have scalped half-a hundred Indians, and cut up a score of white scoundrels with my famous knife, and I propose to serve two more in the same way,’ and with the last word he blew out the light, and bounded over the table. Two pistols went off simultaneously in the darkness. The roar was succeeded by the sounds of several blows, and of persons falling heavily on the floor, besides a few faint stifled groans of mortal agony ; and when they rushed in from the adjoining room with fresh lamps, a horrible vision revealed itself. There lay the gamblers, Jones and Smith, in large pools of their own blood, ghastly corpses; while over them unharmed by lead or pteel, stood their triumphant foe, holding the all-dread ed knife, dripping with gore from hilt to point. ‘ How are you, Bowie 1 You seem to be victorious, as usual,’ cried several per sons who recognized him—and all that ev-' er knew him well were his friends. He then detailed the circumstances and cause of his recent combat, and his behaviour in the transaction met with the oordial ap proval of the great majority of the crowd. Finally, as the day was beginning to dawn, Bowie said : ‘ Come Major Ryan, to the viotors belong the spoils ; let us take our hard won trophies to your own house, and lay them at the feet of the fondest wife and mother in America or the world ; one who defied the horrors of the storm last night, in order to rescue you from utter destruction.’ And then the two men gathered up their money and hurried away from that hell of gamblers for the last time for the Major. Such was Bowie. Men call him a des perado. Perhaps he was so; but every deed of his life down to his glorious death, was heroic, generous and disinterested.— All his bloody conflicts were waged to defend the rights, or avenge the insults of others, and never, probably, in affairs of his own. Oregon.— Gen. Joseph Lane has published a letter in the National Intelligencer, denying the truth of the report, which is going the rounds just now, that Gov. Douglas has been inaugurated as Governor of Oregon, and that a ceDsuB just taken shows the population of Oregon to be 42,000. Gen. Lane says, the Territorial Governor uf Oregon is George L. Curry; the Governor elect under the State organization is John Whittaker. Also, that no census has been taken since 1855; when the number returned was 43,700, and that that census was very imperfect, and did not show the_ entire, population by, say, 5000 or 10,000. He'.thinks the ’population at present it at least 90,000, and that the misrepresentation above noticed is made for political effect. CARD S. WT. MeFBAUii : .
