Pushing for ward thus, I found myself presently at the head of a little verdant ravine, chan neled, as it were, in the face of the plateau. 1 hesitated. It seemed, through the gathering darkness, as if I could discern vague traces of a path trampled here and there in the deep grass. It also seemed as if the ravine tended down towards the upper pastures which were my destination. By following it I could scaroely.go wrong. Where there is grass there are generally cattle and a chalet : and I might possibly find a nearer resting place than I had an ticipated. At all events 1 resolved to try it. The ravine proved shorter than I had expected, and, instead of leading immedi ately downward, opened Uti o❑ a second plateau, through which a worn-worn foot way struck off abruptly to the left. Pur suing this foot-way with what speed might, I came, in the course of a few wore minutes, to a sudden slope, at the bottom of which, in a basin almost sur rounded by gigantic limestone cliffs, lay a small dark lake, a few fields, and a chalet. The rose tints had by this time come and gone, and the snow had put on that ghostly grey which precedes the dark. Before I could descend the slope, skirt the lake, and mount the little eminence ou which the house stood, sheltered by its back ground of rocks, it, was already night, and the stars were in the sky. 1 went up to the d and knocked ; no one answered. 1 opened the door; all was dark ; I paused —held my breath— listened—fancied 1 could distinguish a low sound, as of one breathing.

BUCHANAN LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 26, 1864. I was about to ask what ailed her, but something in his face arrested the question on my lips. 1 know not, to this hour, what that something was. I could not define it then ; I cannot describe it now ; but I hope I may never see it in a living , face again. I followed him to the foot of a ladder at the further end of the dairy. Up there !' he said, placing the lantern in my hand, and strode heavily back into the darkness. I went up, and found myself in a long, low granary, stored with corn sacks, hay, onions, rock salt, cheeses, and farming implements. In one corner were the usual luxuries of a mattrass, a rug, and a three legged stool. My first care was to make a systematic inspection of the loft and all that it contained. My next, to open a little unglazed lattice with a sliding shut ter, just opposite my bed. Che night was brilliant, and a stream of fresh air and moonlight poured in. op pressed by a strange, undefined sense of trouble, I extinguished the lantern, and stood looking out upon the solemn peaks and glaciers. Their solitude seemed to me more than usually awful ; their silence more than usually profound. I could not help associating them, in some vague way, with the mystery in the house. I perplexed myself with all kinds of wild conjectures as to what the nature of that myster, might be. The woman's face haunted me like an evil dream. Again and again I, from the lattice, vainly listening for any sound in the rooms below. A long time went by thus, until at length, overpowered by the fatigues of the day, I stretched myself on the mattrass, took my knapsack for a pillow, and fell fast asleep. I can guess neither how long my sleep lasted, nor from what cause I awoke. I only know that my sleep 'was dreamless and profound ; and that I started from it suddenly, unaccountably, trembling in every nerve, and possessed by an over whelming sense of danger. Danger ! Danger of what kind?. From the hills. Suddenly my eyes fell upon a little lake—a sullen pool—lying in the shade of an amphitheatre of rocks some eight hundred feet below. Until that moment the night and its terrors appeared to have passed away like a wicked vision, but now the very sky seemed darkened above me. Yes, there it, all lay at my feet. Yonder was the path by which I had descended from the plateau, and, lower still, the accursed chalet, with its background of ruggid cliffs and overhanging precipice. Well might they lie, in shadow ! Well might the sunlight refuse to touch the ripples of that lake with gold, and to light up the windows of that house with an illumination direct from heaven. Thus standing, thus looking down, I became aware of a strange sound—a sound singularly distinct, but far away—a sound sharper and hollower than the fall of an avalanche, and unlike anything that I re membered•to have heard. While I was yet asking myself what it could be, or whence it came, I saw a considerable frag ment of rock detach itself from one of the heights overhanging the lake, bound rapidly from ledge to ledge, and fall with a heavy plash into the water below. It was followed by a cloud of dust, and a prolonged reverberation, like the rolling of distant thunder. Next moment, a dark fissure sprang into sight all down the face of the precipice— the fissure became a chasm—the whole cliff wavered before my eyes—wavered, parted, sent up a cataract of earth and stones—and slid slowly down, down, down into the valley. Deafened by the crash, and blinded by the dust, I covered my face with my hands, and anticipated instant destruction. The echoes, however, died away, and were suc ceeded by a solemn silence. The plateau on which I stood, remained firm and un shaken. I looked up. The sun was shining as serenely, the landscape sleeping as peaceful, as before. Nothing was changed, save that a wide white scar now defaced all one side of the great limestone basin below, and a ghastly mound of ruin filled the valley at its foot. Beneath that mound lay buried all record of the crime to which I had been an un willing witness. The very mountains had come down and covered it—nature had obliterated it from the face of the Alpine solitude. Lake and chalet, victim and executioner, had disappeared forever, the place thereof knew them no more. As we approached the house, Helen, feeling dry and better humored, attempt ed to conciliate me. But I preserved a moody silence.' I was mortified beyond redress. That night I packed up a few things and ran away. My boyish mind, sensitive and irritated, exaggerated the negation which it had received, and prompted me to better results than generally attend such irregu larities.. I went to Edinburg, where I found an uncle, a kind-hearted, childless man, who gladly gave me a plane in his house, and employed me in his business. Wealth &well upon him. I became his partner—went abroad—resided four years on the continent, and finally returned to Scotland rich, educated, in short, every thing but married. One evening, while at a ball in Glasgow, 1 was struck by a lady of unpretending appearance, but whose remarkable beauty and high-toned expression indicated a mind of extraordinary power. I was in troduced, but the Scottish names had been unfamiliar to my ear, and I could not catch her:+. It was Helen something, and there was something in the face, too, that seemed familiar—something suggestive of pleasure and pain. But we became well aoquainted that evening. I learned without difficulty her history. She was from the country, had been educated, her parents had lost their property, and she was now governess of a family of the city. I was fascinated with her conversation, and was continually reminded by her grace and refinement of manner that she was capable of moving with distinguished suc cess in a far higher sphere than that which fortune seemed to have allotted her. I was naturally not talkative, nor prone to confidence ; but there was that in this young lady which inspired both, and I con versed with her as I had never conversed with any. Her questions of the various countries with which I was familiar indi cated a remarkable knowledge of liter ature, and an incredible store of information. We progressed in intimacy, and as our information turned upon the cause which induced so many to leave their native land, I laughingly remarked that I owed my own travels to falling with a pretty girl into a ford. I had hardly spoken these words ere the blood mounted to her -face, and was suc ceeded by a remarkable paleness. I attri buted it to the heat of the room, laughed, and at her request, proceeded to relate my ford adventure with Helen Graham, paint ing in glowing colors the amiability of my love. Her mirth, during the recital, became irrepressible. At the conclusion she re marked : 4 Mr. Roberts, is it possible you have forgotten me I' I gazed an instant, remembered, and was dumbfounded. The lady with whom I had thus became acquainted was Helen Graham herself. I hate, .and so do you, reader, to need lessly prolong a story. We were soon married—Helen and 1 made our bridal tour to the old place ; and as we ap proached in our catriage, I greeted a stout fellow in a field, who seemed to be a better sort of laborer, or perhaps a small farmer, by inquiring some particu lars relating to the neighborhood. He answered well enough, and I was about to give him sixpence, when Helen stayed my hand, and cried out in the old style— ' Hey, Donald, mon, dinna ye kenk• ye'r old frien's The man looked up in astonishment.— It was Donald Lean. His amazement at our appearance was heightened by its style; and it was with the greatest difficulty that we could induce him to enter our carriage and answer our numerous queries as to our friends. Different men start in life in different ways. 1 believe that mine, however, is the only one on record of a gentleman who owes wealth and happiness to rolling over with a pretty girl in a stream of water.

Au Independent Democratic Daily, BemiWeekly and Weekly Newspaper. 131 , 110 N OF THE WORLD AND ARGUS. The World, to which the New York Weekly Argus has been united, has to-day five times the aggregate circula tion of any Democratic or conservative newspaper. It ad dresses weekly more than 100,000 subscribers and con stant purchasers. and reaches at least sum* A TrommoN readers. With the steady increase in circulation which it now enjoys, these numbers will be doubled by the let of January, 1864. Nothing leas than this should ratify those who believe that the only hope of restoring the Union and the authority of the Oonsiitution over a now distracted and divided country, lies In wresting power from the ban's i.f those whose fanaticism has helped to provoke, invite, and prolong the war; and that to accomplish this end, no means is so effective as the diffaslon, through able and enterprising newspapers, of sound political knoisiedge among the working men, the thinking men, and the,vot ing min of the North. Enterprise, industry and money will be liberally ex pended to make Tex Woal,n THE BEST NEWSPAPER IN AMERICA., Its news from every part of the world will be early anli authentic. Wherever the telegraph ex tends, or railroads run, or steamboats ply, it will gather the latest intelligence. It has a large staff of accomplished correspondents with all the federal armless, who will tele graph mud write to us the latest news from the various seats of war it has correspondents and reporters in every political and commercial centre in America and Europe, whose letters esti dispatches will leave nothing worthy of note us k now n to its readers. Special exertions will be used to make its reports of the Crops, of the Cattle, Produce, and Money markets, com prehensive and accurate. Realizing that the bone and sinew of the country are to be found upon its farms and in workshops, Tan WORLD will gather from every quarter In formation and news concerning Agriculture and manufac tures, and will endeavor to make its limes peel:diary valu able to the Farmers and Mechanics of the country. The war In which the nation Is engaged against armed and infatuated rebels and the radical policy of the ad ministration which prolongs it, have conspired to bring Together upon one platform all conservative, Union-loving and Constitutir-n loving men, of whatever former name and creed. Many of those who, within the limits of the Constitution, fought the battles of the tiallothos under the leadership of those patriotic statesmen of other and better days, Henry Clay and Pardel Webster, together with the masses whose principle+ were those of such patriots as Andrew Jackson, and William U. Marcy, Silas Wright and Stephen A. Douglas, now stand shoulder to shoulder upon the same platform and under the seine banner. The Oat form is a plain One it is to RESTORE THE UNION, MAINTAIN THE CONSTITUTION, Alio ENFORCE THE Lows. Whatever makes for this end, the exercise of force or the policy of conciliation, The World will advocate; whatever makes against It, The World will oppose. It will oppose every enemy to THE UNION, . . whether armed In rebellion at the South or insidiously planting the seeds of disunion and essential disloyalty at the North. . - It will oppose every violation or THE CONSTITUTION, - - - - - which is the only hope and hoed of f nion, and our only authority for exhorting or compelling the allegiance of the South. It Will oppose every Infraction of THE LAWS, - - in high places or in low, by reckless and misguided part!. sang, or by the administration which has been their ex- Win pie. It will fearlessly exercise the Freed •m of the Frees ; will constantly uphold and defend Freedom of Sport and Freedom of the Ballot. To the lawless acts of the Administration, its arbitrary and unjust arrests and expatriations, its denial of the right to the writ of habeas corpus, Its Illegal proclamations, its abrogation of State and federal laws, its deep•dic accumu lations of ungranted power, and its subversions of the safe-guards of CIVIL IND PeRBONIL 1113111.1 . 1, it will constant ly oppose the letter and spirit of our supreme law and the advocacy of sound doctrine„until American freemen shall be roused to the recovery of their rights, their liberties, their laws, and their limited and -- .well-balanced govern ment, by the resistless decision of the ballot Profoundly impressed with tine desire to contribute all that it may to the great work of this generation—namely, to restore our national unity, and to place the United Stares again foremost among the nations of the earth, and first in the peace, prosperity and happiness of its people— The World seeks from those who desire such things their sympathy and support, and, above all, the favor of film who crowns every good work.
