A fortunate Ruin CIIAt'TIOK I George Ronton sat-in his room in bis hotel, ile was u young mail of twenty six, tall am! slender, with a face of ex traordinary intellectual beauty. He was dressed in costly garments, though his toilette was hut indifferently performed. He was an orphan, and for some time had lived at a hold. It required but a single glance into his pule features to tell that lie was an invalid. He sat with lya head resting upon his hands, and his whole form trembled as though with some powerful emotion. As the youth sat thus, the door opened, and an elderly gentleman en tered. “ Ah, doctor, you are moveing early this morning," said Ronton, as he lan guidly rose i'rom his seat and extended liis hand. “Uli, not early for me, George,” re turned Dr. Mellville, with a bright smile. 1 am an early bird." “ Well you havo caught the worm this time." “ I hope it will prove a valuable one.” “ 1 don’t know,." sighed the youth.— “ I fear a thnurand worms will inhabit this poor body ere long." “Nonsense, you’re worth half a cen tury yet,” cried the doctor, giving him a gentle slap on the shoulder. “ But tell me, George how is it with Row land*.'” “.lust as I told you. All is gone.” “ J don’t understand i‘, George.” “ .Neither do Iraid the young man, sorrowfully “That Charles Rowland could have done that tiling, I could not have believed. Why, had an angel ap peared to me lwo weeks ago and told me that Rowland was not trustworthy, I would not have given a moment’s at tention to it. Rut only think, when my fat her died, he selected for myguar iliau his best friend, as I even now be lieve Charles Rowland was, and in his hands lie placed his wealth, and for him to keep, until I was of age. And when I arrived at that period of life, I left my money where it wus ; I had no use for it. Several limes within three or four years Ims Rowland asked me to take my money and invest it, and I would not. I told him to keep it, and .use it if he wished. I only asked that when I wanted jiumey, lie would honor my demand. I felt ;nore safe,, in fact, than I could have f. It, had my money been In a hank of deposit. "JlowMmiidi money had lie when he left'.’” “ How much of mine V" “Yes.” “ Hosho’uld have had over a hundred thousand dollars.” “ What do you menu to do ?” “All, you have me on the hip there.” “ Ami yci yon must do something, Georg! l . Heaven knows I would keep you if. L could. J .shall claim the priv ilege of paying your debts, however.” “ No, no, ilnelur, none of that.” “ But 1 tell you i shall. I shall pay your debts, but beyond that I can only help you to assist yourself. What do you say to going to sea'.”’ A faint smile swept over the youth’s pule features at this remark. “ I should make a smart hand at sea. Doctor, 1 can hardly keep my L»ga on shore. No, no —1 must —” “ Must what'.”’ “Ah 1 know not. I shall dle—that is all!” “Nonsense, George. I Bay go to sea. You couldn’t go into a store, and you would not, if you could. You do not wish to remain hero amid the scenes of your happier days. Think of it; at sea you will bo free from all contact with things you louthe. Think of It.” George ihmton started to his feet,and paced the lloor fur prune minutes. When, he stopped, a new life seemed already at work within him. “ If I went to pea what could I do?” “ You understand all the laws of for eign trade.” “Yes. You know I had a thorough schooling at that in my father’s count ing house.” "Then you can obtain the bertli of a supercargo.” “ Are you sure 1 can get one?” “ Yes.” “Well, then, Dr. Mellvlile, it’s set tled. I will go.” George Bouton walked one evening to the house of a wealthy merchant, An drew Wilson, residing on Washington street. It was a palatial dwelling, and molny a hopeful, happy hour had he spent beneath Us roof, iie rang the bell and was admitted to the parlor. In a few mimites.Mary Wilson entered. She was very beautiful, and was only twenty. She hud been waitiug until thatage to lie George Bouton’s wife.— Some words were spoken —many mo ments of painful silence ensued. “ Mary, you know all. lam going from my native land a beggar. I cannot stay long now. Mary, did I know you less than I do, I should give back your promise aud free you from your engage* ment. But I believo I should trample upon your heart did Ido that now. I know your love is too pure and deep to be torn from your bosom at will. Bo I say wait—wait! There are other feelings in the human heart besides love. That love is a poor, profitless passion, whioh putßasideall other considerations, We must love for eternity, and so our Tovo must be free. Walt. lam going to work—aye, upon the aca to work.” “ But why upon the bcu? Why away where my poor heart must ever beat In anxious fear aud doubt as It follows you ? ” “Because I cannot remain here.— Hundreds of poor fools have imagined that I shunned them because I was rich and proud. They know not that It waß the tainted atmosphere of their moral life that I shunned. They gloat over my misfortune. Men may call mefooll ish ; but it would kill me to stay here.” " Alas I must it bo V ” „ “It must. Will you wait? ” “ I will wait eveu to the gates of the tomb.” “Then heaven bless and preserve you.” OIIAPTJSII 11, The ruined youth was upon tho ocean —hla voyngo commenced—his duties as a laborer for his own dally bread all fairly assumed. Ah, It was a strange life for him to enter upon; for from the ownership of Immense wealth to the trade of books of u merchant ship was a transition ludecd. But ere h*e went on deck agulu, he hud fully resolved that he would do his duty, come what would. He would forget that he ever did else than work for his livelihood. With VOLUME 70 these resolves clearly defined in his mind, he already felt better. At firßt our sdpercargo was too weak to do much. He was ve?y sick, and it lasted nearly two weeks; but when that passed off and he could face the vibra ting deck with a stout stomach, his ap* Eetite grew Bharp, and his muscles egan to grow strong. At first his ap- Eetite craved some of the delicacies he ad long been used to; but they were not to be had, and he soon learned to do without them. The result was, that hla appetite became natural in its wants, and his system began to find itself in vigorated by simple food, and fresh air and healthful exercise. For years he had looked upon break fast as a meal which must be set out and partaken of from mere fashion. A cup of coffee, and perhaps, a piece of French roll, or a seasoned and* highly spiced titbit had constituted the mornlDg meal. But now, when breakfast hour came, he approached it with a keen appetite, and felt as strong and hearty as at any other time pf the day. By degrees the hollow cheeks became full, the dark eyes assumed new Justre, the color, rich and beautiful, came to the face, the breast swelled with increas ing power, tho lungs expauded and grew strong, the muscles became more firm and true, the nerves grew steady, and the garments-which ho had worn when he came oq board had to be let out some inches, In order to make them encompass hla person. His disposition became cheerful and bright; and by the time the ship had reached the shores of tho Old World, the crew had learned to love him. Through storm andsunshiue, through tempest and calm, through dark hours uud bright, the young sup ercargo made his voyage, in onoyear from the day in which he left his native laud, he placed his foot upftßUhc soil of his native Htute But he did not stop. The same ship, with the same officers, was going upon the same cruise again, and he meant to go with her. He saw Marsr Wilton, and she woujd wait. He saw Dr. Melville, and the kind old gen tleman praised him for his manly inde pendence. Again George Bontou was upon the sea, and again he assumed the duties of his office, and even more. He stood watch when there was no need of it; and during the seasons of storm he claimed a post on deck. At the end another year he re turned to his home again, lie was now twenty-eight, and few who kuew him two years before could recognize him now. His face was brozed by exposure, his cheeks full and piump, his frame stout, strong and erect. His muscular system wasnobiy developed,andamong the men tiiere wore few who could stand before him in trials of physical strength. When he first left the city years before, he had weighed one hun dred and thirty pounds avoirdupois. He now brought up the beam fairly at one hundred and seventy-six. Purely he was a new mau in every respect. On the afternoon of the third day, as he entered the hotel, one of the waiters handed him a letter. Heopoued it and found it to be a letter from Mr. Wilton. It was a request that he would call at the merchant’s house at n o’clock that evening. “George,” said tho doctor, after Bonton had given a full account of his adventures while at sea, “1 should think that you would almost forgive poor Rowland for having made off with your fortuue.” “ Forgive him ! ” returned George ; “ Oh ! I did that in the first place.” “ Well, George,” resumed the doctor, “Mr. Rowland is here; will you see him?” “See him? See Charles Rowland? Of course I will.” The door was opened and Mr. Row land entered. He was an elderly gen tleman, but hale and hearty. The old man shook hands, mid then inquired after each other’s health. “ You received a note from me some two years ago,” said Mr. Rowland, “ in which I stated that one in whom I trusted had got your money, and mine with it.” “ Yes, sir,” whispered Bnnton. “Well, resumed Mr. Howland, “I)r. Melville was tho man. Pie had your money, and I believe he lms got it yet.’’ “How? What?” gasped George, gazing from one to the other in blank astonishment. “ Hold on, my boy.” said the doctor, while a thousand emotions seemed at work within his-bosom. “I was the villain. It was I who got your money. I worked your ruin, my boy. And now listen, and I will tell you why. “I saw that you were dying. Your father died of the samo disease. A con sumption was upon him—not a regular pulmonary affection, but a wasting away of the system for the want of vi tality, occasioned by a want of proper, wholesome food and physical exercise. The mind was wearing out the body. The soul was slowly but surely eating its way from the cords that bound it to the earth. I knew that you could be cured; and I knew, 100, that the only thing in tho world which would cure you was to throw you upon your re sources for a livelihood. There was a morbid willingness to pass away. You would have died ere you would have made an exertion, from the fact that you looked upon exertion as worse than death. It was a strange state of both mind and body. Your fortuno was ample, and rendered work unnecessary so there was no hope while fortune re mained.” “Had it been wholly abodily malady I could have argued you into necessary work for acuie. And, on tho other hand, had it been wholly a mental dis ease, I might have driven your body to help your mind. But both were weak, and 1 knew that you must either work or die. I preferred that you should do the former. “And now*, my boy, I’ll tell you where my hope lay. I kuew that you possessed such true pride of iudepeml euoe that you would work. 1 saw Mr. Rowlaud and told him of my plans. I assured him that if we could contrive to get you to sea fora year or two, ami make you start out iuto active life, fur the sake of life, you could be saved. lie joined me at once. 1 took your money and his, and bid him clear out. You know the rest. And now, tell me, my boy, if I give you back your fortune, will you forgive me ?” * “ Forgive, doctor! yes, with all my heart; for have you not taught me the necessity and nobility of labor?” “ I hope,” continued the doctor, “the lesson you have learned will not soon be forgotten. Your money is safe— every penny of it—to the amount of one hundred and twenty thousaud dollars. Poor Rowland has suffered much in knowing how you looked upon him; but I know that he is amply repaid by tho sight of your noble, powerful frame, as be sees it to-night.” It was a full hour before all the quos ; tlonsof tho happy friends could be asked : and answered; and when the doctor and Rowland had been forgiven nnd’blessed for the twentieth time, Mr. Wilton, who had been let into the secret that evening, said, “ Wait! ” He left the room, and when he re turned h.e led sweet Mary by tho hand, looking, if possible, more lovely than ever. A few words suGlced to explain to her the ruin which hud been practiced upon her lover by the doctor aud Mr. Row land; and while she rejoiced at the sud den turn which had taken place in Mr. Bontou’s prospects, she regretted that the return of his fortuno would deprive her of the romantic privilege of marry ing a mau who earned his living by honest labor. Late in the evening, after the heartaofour friendshad fairly begun to grow tired of joy, Georgo asked Mary how much longer she was willing to “wait.” b Her heart was too full for utterance ; but turning ber face to Ida with a beam ing smile and with sparkling eyes, which spoke more eloquently than words, he read hlB answer. A few weeks after there was agay authoring of friends at Mr. Wilton’s. alary Wilton was dressed in a white silk dress, and encir cling her pure white brow was a wreath of orange llowers. She looked happy, as did also George Bonton, who stood by her side. On inquiry, we learned that, on that evening, Mary had.changedher name, and wuu now tho wife of tho superoargo.

Gymnastics In ike Adlrondacfcs. For nearly two miles we creptthrough the damp and chilly fog, up the Marion river, hearing nothing to interrupt the profound silence save the occasional plunge of a muskrat or the sputter of a frog skating along the surface of the .water. But all of a sudden, when heart and hope began to fail, some distance ahead of us we heard the well known sounds, k-splash, k-splash, and knew that a deer, and a large one too, was making for the shore. Here our adven tures began. I signalled by a desperate “hitch” on the thwart, to run the boat at full speed toward the Bound. He did. The light shell shot through the fog, and when in swift career struck the bank, bow on. Martin was tre mendous at the paddle, and a littie more force would have divided that marsh from side to side; as it was, the thin, lath-like boat was buried a third of her length in the bogs and marsh grass. With much stuggle, and several sup pressed but suggestive exclamations from Martin, we extricated .the boat from the meadow, and shoved out into deep wator. We had heard nothing from the deer since he left the river. Thinking that possibly he might have stopped, after gaining the bauk, to look back, as deer often do, I rose slowly in the boat, turned up the jack, and peered anxiously into the fog. The stoug re flector bored a lane through the fleecy mofls for some fifty feet, perhaps ; even at that distance objects mingled gro tesquely through the fog. At the ex treme end of the opening, I detected a bright, diamond-like spark. What was it? I turned the jack up, and I turned it down. I lowered myself until my eyes looked along the line of the glass. IraisedmyBelfou tiptoe. Nothing more could be seen. *■ It may be the eye of u deer, and it may be only a drop of water, or a wet leaf,” said Ito myself. Still it looked gamy. 1 concluded to launch a bullet at it, anyway. Whispering to Martin to steady the boat, I sunk iny eye well down into the sights, and, bolding for the gleam amid the marsh-grass, fired. The smoke, mingling heavily with the fog, made all murky before me, while the explosion, striking against tne hills on either side, started a dozen reverber ations, so that we could neither see nor hear what was the result of the shot.— After waiting in silence a few moments, hoping to hear the deer “kick,” with out any such happy result, X told Mar tin I would go ashore to load, and see what I had shot at. He paddled for ward, and seizing the tall grass, while he forced the boat in against the bank with his paddle, I clambered up. Be ing curious to soe what had deceived me, I strode oil' into the marsh some forty feet, and turning up the jack, lo and behold a dead deer lay at my feet! “ Martin,” shouted I, “ here the deer is, dead as,a tick !” “The d—1!” exclaimed the guide from the fog. “What did you say ?” again 1 shout ed. “ I said I didn’t believe it,” returned Martin, soberly. “Paddle your canoe up hero, then, you old sceptic, and see for youself,” I rejoined, taking the deer by the ear and dragging him to the bank. “ Here he is, and a monster too.” Martin did as directed. “ Well,” exclaimed he, as he unbent his gaunt form from the curve into I which two hours of paddling had bent and cramped it, and straightened him self to his full height, until his eye rest ed upon the buck, —“ well, Mr. Murray, you are the first man I ever saw draw a line bead insuchanightlikethis, stand ing in the bow of a Haranacboal, at the twinkle of a deer’s eye, and kill. That jack of yours is a big thing, and no mis take.” By the time he had finished, the boat had drifted ofi’into the river,— for the current was quite strong at that point, —and I was alone. I was just lifting a cap to the tube of the recharged barrel, when I felt a movement at my feet, and casting my eyes downward, I saw that the deer was in the act of get ting up! The ball, as we afterwards discovered, had glanced along the front of the skull, barely creasing the skin'. It had touched the bone slightly, and stunned him so that he dropped ; but beyond this it had not hurt him in the least, Quick as thought I put my foot against his shoulder and pushed him over. “Martiu,” I cried, “this deer isn’tdead ; he’s tryiug toget up? What shall I do?” “ Not dead !” exclaimed he, shouting from the middle oL the river through the dense fog. “ No, he isn’t dead; fapfrom it. Hein mighty lively, and getting more ami moreao,” I returned, now having my hands full to keep the deer down “Como out and help me. What shall Ido ?” “ Get hold of his hind leg; I’ll be with you in a minute,” was the answer. I did as directed. I laid hold of his left hind leg, just above the fetlocks, and sprung to my feet. Reader, did you ever seize a pig by the hindleg? If so, multiply that pig by ten; for every twitch hegives count six; lash a big lantern to your head ; fancy yourself standing alone on a swampy marsh in a dark, foggy night, with a rifle in your left hand, and being twitch ed among the bogs and in and out of muskrat holes, until your whole systerii seems on the point ofaseparation which shall semi you in a thousaud (iafluites mal parts in all directions, like frag ments of an exploding buzz wheel, and you have my appearance and feelings as I was jerked about that night amid the mire and marsh gra»s, as I clung to the leg of that deer. Now, when I fasten to anything, I always expect tolioldon. Thin was my determination when I“put ray lingers round that buck’s leg. I have a tre mendous grip—my father had before me. With his hands at a two-inch auger hole in the head of a parrel, I have seen him clutch, now with his right, now with his left hand, twenty-two house rats as they came darting out to escape the stick with which I was stir ring them up, and dash them dead upon the lloor, without getting a single:bite ; and everybody knows that a rat, in full bolt, come out of a barrel like a flash of lightning. I fully expected to'main tain the family proftiyc- for grip, I did. I stuck to that (leer with all my power arm and will. I felt it to be a sort of personal contest between him and my self. Nevertheless, I was perfectly willing at any time to let go. 1 had undertaken the job at the request of another, and was ready to surrender it instantly upon demand. I shouted to Martin to get out of that boat mighty quick if he wanted to take his deer home, fori shouldn’t hold on to him much longer. It took me about two minutes to deliver that sentence. It was literally jerked out of me, word by word. Never did I labor under greater embarrassment in ex pressing myself. In the meanwhile Martin wan meeting witli difficulty. The bank of tho river wan steep, and the light cedar shell, with ouly himself in it, was out of all balance, and hard to manage. It may be that his very strong desire* to get on to that meadow where I was holding his deer for him operated to confuse aud embarrass his xnovemonts ! He would propel the boat at full speed toward the bank, then jump for the bow; but his motion forward would releasetheboatfrom the mud, and when he reached the bow the boat would bo halfway across the river again. Now Martin is a man of great patience. Ho ia not by any means a profane person. He had always shown great respect for the cloth. But everybody will see that his posi tion was a very trying one. Three sev eral times, as he afterwards Informed me. did he drive that boat Into the bank ami three several times, wheu he got to the how, that boat was in tho middle of the river. At last Martin’s patience gave way, aud out of tho fog came to my earß ejaculations of disgust, and such BtroDg expletives ns are found only in choice old English, and howls of rage und disappointment that none but a guide could utter in like circumstances. But human endurance hasa limit. I was fast reaching a condition of mind when family pride and transmitted powers ef resolution fail. What did I care for nay father’s exploit with the rats at the two-inch auger-hole ? What did the family grip amount to after all? I was fast losing sight of the oonneotlon such vanities sustained to me. I was undergoing a rapid obango in mauy rospoots—of body us well as xnindl— When I got hold of that deer’s leg I was mentally full of pluck and hope • my hunting coat, of Irish corduroy, was whole ahd tightly buttoned. Now,.mentally, I was demoralized; ov'ery button was gone from the coat, and the right sleeve hung disconnected with the body of the garment. The LANCASTER PA. WEDNESDAY MORNING JUNE 16 1869 jack had been jerked from my. head, and lay a rod off in the marsh grass. 1 could hold on no longer. I would make one more effort, one more appeal. I did. “ Martin,” said I, “aren’t you ever go» log to get out of that boat ?” The heavy thug of the boat against the bank, an explosive and spluttering noise which sounded very much like the word “damn” spoken from between shut teeth, a splash, a scramble, and then I caught sight of the gaunt form of Martin, paddle in hand and' hunting knife between his teeth, loping along toward me, through the tall, rank grass. But, alas! it was too late* The auspi cious moment had passed. My fingers one by one loosened their help, and the deer, gathering all his strength with a terrific elevation with his feet, sent me reeling backward, just as Martin, doub led up in a heap, was about to light on his back. He missed the back, but, as good luck would have it, even while the buck was in the air—the deer going up as Martin came down—the fingers of the guide closed with a full and despo rate grip upon his tail. Quick as a flash I recovered myself from the bogs, replaced the jack, which fortunately had not been extinguished, upon my head, and stood an interested spectator of the proceedings. Now ev* erybodyknows how wild aeer can jump when frightened ; and the buck, with Martin fastened to his tail, waß thor oughly roused. The first leap straight ened the poor fellow out ykea lath, but it did not shake him from his hold. If the reader has ever seen a small boy hanging to the tail-board of a wagon, when the horse was at full speed, he can form a faiut idea of Martin’s ap pearance as the deer tore like a whirl wind through the tall grrss. Blinded und bewildered by the light, frensied with fear, the buck, as deer often will, instead of leading off*, kept racing up and down just within the bor der of light made by the jack, and occa sionally making a bolt directly for it. My position was unique* I was the sole spectator of a series of gymnastic evolutions truly original. Small as tbe audience was, the performers were in earnest. Had there beeu a thousand spectators, theactors could nothave laid themselves out with greater energy.— No applause could have got another inch of jump out of the buck, or another inch of horizontal position out of Mar tin. Whenever, at long intervals, his feet did touch the ground, it was only to leave for another and a higher terial plunge. Now ami then the buck would take a short stretch into the fog and darkness, only to reappear with the same inevitable attachment of arms and legs streaming behind. The scene was too ludicrous to be endured in silence. The desperate expression of Martin’s face, as lie swung round and jerked about, was enough to make a monk ex plode with laughter while doing pen ance. I rested my hauds on either knee, and laughed until tears ran down my cheeks. The merriment was all on my side. Martin was silent as death, save when the buck, in some extraordi nary and desperate leap, twitched a grunt out of him. Between my par oxysms, I exhorted him , It was my time to exhort. . “Martin,” I shouted, ‘‘hang on; that’s your deer. I quit all claim to him. Hang ou, I say. Save his tail, anyhow.” Whether Martin appreciated the ad vice, whether he exactly saw where the “ laugh came in,” I cannot say, and he could not explain. Still I am led to think that it was to him no trifling af fair, but a matter which moved hira profoundly. At last the knife was jerked from his teeth, either because of the violence of exertions or because he had inadvert ently loosened his grasp on it. Be this as it may, Martin’s mouth was at last opened, and out -of it were projected some of the most extraordinary expres sions I ever heard. His sentences were singularly detached. Even his words were widely separated, but brought out with great emphasis. He averaged about one word to a jump. If another got partially out, it was suddenly and ruthlessly snapped off in mid utterance. The result of his efforts to express him self reached my ears very rnucli in this” shape: J limp- will— you—be-e— d d -I’ve —gut —-you ! — l’l —hold-d—ox —till — your— tail— comes— oiTl-Jump-p be -D-D-DAMNED—l've—got—you-u-u. When the contest would have ended, what would have been the result had it continued, whether the buck or the guide would have come ofT winner, it Is not easy to say. Nor Is it necessary to speculate, for the close was speedily readied, and in an unlooked-for man ner. The deer had led oil* some dozen jumps out of the circle of light, and I was beginning to think that he had shaken himself loose from his enemy, when all at once lie emerged from the fog with Martin still streaming behind liitu, and made straight for the river. Never did I sec a buck vault higher or prt>ject himself farther in successive leaps. The Saranacer was too much put to it to articulate a word; only a series of grunts, as lie was twitched along, revealed the state of his pent up feelings. Past me the deer flashed like a fea thered shaft, heading directly for the ban k. “Hang on, Martin,” I screamed, sobered by the thought that he would save him yet if he could only retain his grin. “ Hang to him like death ! ” He did. Never did my admiration go out more strongly toward a mau than it did toward Martin, as red in the face, and unable to relieve himself by a single expression, ho wenttearing along at a frightful rate, in full bolt for the river. Not one man In fifty could have kept his single-handed grip, jerked at the close of such a struggle as the Saranacer had passed through, and twitched mer cilessly as he was now being through the bog grass aud over tho uneven ground. But the guide’s blood was up, and nothing i could loosen his clutch. The buck reached the bank, and gath ering himself up for a desperate leap, he flung his body into the air. I saw a pair of widely-separated legs swing wildly upward, and the red face of Martin, head downward, and reversed, ho as to be turned directly toward me by the summersault he was turning, disappeared like a waning rocket in the fog overhanging the river. Once in the water, the buck was no match for his foe. I hurried to the edge of the bank. Boueath me, and half across the river, a desperate struggle was going on. Mar tin had found his voice, was using it as if to make up for lost time. In a mo ment a gurgling sound reached my ears, und I knew the deer’s head was under water: and shortly, in answer to my hall, tne guide appeared, dragging the buck behind him.

George Washington’s Farm. The way appointed for visiting Mount Vernon is to take the boat at Washing ton, which leaves every day, and go di rectly to the grounds. Instead, I went to Alexandria, and got passage in a country team to the rear of Mount Ver non that I might see the farm and ad jacent country before coming to the mansion. The distance from Alexan dria is nine miles. First, I went to Christ Church where Washington wor shiped, and where the family pew re mains unchanged. This church is large and in good repair. For several miles on the road the fields are without fences, these having been destroyed during the war, and the soil is not remarkably rich. The bouses are abouta mile apart, and not remarkable for neatness of ap pearance, and the general aspect is far from being chejrfui. Of orchards, few are to be seen. After going about six miles we came to a building used as a school-house aud meeting-house by tbe colored people, and erected since the war at no great expense. The road sve traveled was the one which Washing ton with hia wife for many years took in going to the Alexandria church, and it was interesting to consider that In his carriage drawn by four horses he had often passed along this route on Sunday morniDg. Next we passed some poor dwellings where the uescend&uts of the General's slaves made a descent living on land taking from the old farm. They were plowing for corn, the soil looked white and Ihlu, and there were no orchards. We stopped and talked with one of these farmers, who had brought to the side of the road a wooden harrow of his own construction. Next we came upon more level laud; two or three decent houses were in sight, and the fields stretched to a great dis tance. Here were some fields of grass and clover, the first we liad 6eeu. I was told that a field of some 40 acres in good cultivation was for sale at $5O an acre. We were now on the best part of the original Mt. Vernon farm. As the team went no further, I proceeded on foot. The next farm was occupied by a Quakernurserymau from New Jersey, who has a well-improved place, and who 110 years ago brought 2,000 acres of the Washington family for the purpose of dividing it among Northern settlers. Passing on, I came to a field newly cleared, with thesmall stumps standing thick, while a Degro was laying off tbe corn-rows, and four women were plant ing. He said he rented the land and expected 20 bushels to tho acre. Ills work was poorly done and his team was weak. Then I went up a high gravelly hill, and came to a fruit farm, where was at least an acre of strawberries. — Home three miies distant the Potomac and several sail vessels were in sight. The farmwasquitenew, but everything ! was in good order. i Several nice buildings, were in sight, ■ and the general appearance was prom- ! isiug. At a short distance stood the j Lewis mansion house amid trees. This I belonged*<o a farm of 2,000, presented by j Washington to the grand-daughter of his wife, wbe/married Lewis. As sev eral hours of the day remained I a conveyance and started to view Puhick Church, built by Washington and the Mason family, something more than five miles distant. Mount Vernon was three miles in front upon the horizon, while our course was at a right angle to tho south. We passed a few well cultivated fields where clover and timothy had been made to grow luxuriantly by the help of fertilizers, and where we saw many large peach orchards recently planted, then descended a hill and came to the village of Aceotink, which contains a mill aud a few houses, and then issued into a comparative wilderness. When we descended the liill we left the line of the Moupt Vernon farm, and entered upon the old Mason estate, which in Washington’s youth belonged to Lord Fairfax who lived at Belvoir Castle, of which scarcely the ruins remain. It was- for sale while Washington was President ; the price asked was 833 an acre. Recently it has been bought by a gentleman from Chicago at about S3U an acre, and he proposes to engage in fruit growing. There are now about 4<J farms on the original Mount Vernon farm, mostly owned by Northern men who are mainly interested in fruit culture, but some are engaged iu general farming, and while most of them own from 50 to 200 acres a few have small tracts, one man haviDg 7 and another 12 acres. It is intended to ship the fruit by steam boats to Washington, some 15 miles distant. The original farm contained about 7,000 acres, Our course to Pohick Church was over hills, and occasionally level stretch es. We met nobody in the road, and a goodjpart of the way was as new and as wild as in any partof Michigan. After a while we passed a largo brick-yard, then the Potomac, where a town culled Pohick is to be started. Thence we passedjthrough several Helds a ml by the remnants of farm-houses, and it was necessary to open and close gates or 1 bars. Then we came into the wilder* I nesa ngaiu. All this country is grown* up to what is called “ old Held pine,” j the trees of which are from four to eight j inches in diameter; and the negro who drove said there was enough timber to ! fence the land whichseemed to me doubt- 1 ful. The ride was iongaud wearisome. In one place the road followed the bed of a small creek nearly a quarter ofamile. •In oue place we saw where au old road ouco ran, down the side of a hill ; but the washed soil had partly tilled it, and there pine trees grew. Coming to an old field in alittle bottom, the driver pointed to the top of the hill, and said that the church was there. As the horse was exhausted he was hitched to a wild j plum tree, and we went on foot. We j passed a desolate-looking cabin in a j white-looking field, where some colored i men were making a crop; and, beyond | this, was a large peach orchard recently ! plauted, and perhaps half an acre of strawberries. Gaining the top of the ' hill wo came £to four cross roads and 1 Pohiek Church. The outer walls, made i of brick brought from Englaud, are iu j good condition, buttheinsideisdesolate j andbare, and thestonepavementistorn ! up. During the war it was occupied by soldiers of both armies, and their names are scribbled on the walls. From the remains of the interior cor nice it was evident that the church had been beautifully finished. The distance from Mount Vernon is about seven, and from Belvoir about five miles. I j udgo that not more than five orsix first-class families attended this church, still it is said to have been well filled. A first class family in those days meant some thing, while common families were no bodies. By pacing the distance, I made ; the church 7<3 feet long and 50 feet broad. Nine miles down tho Potomac was the town of Colchester, whence some came to church. This town did a largeshipping business, but it is now in ruins. Further down, is the town of Dumfries, which, 70 or 80 years ago, had GO stores, and 20 ships at one tirao have been counted taking In tobacco. I do not understand that any body lives there now. I went out into the graveyard surrounding the church, and found forest trees growing over graves. A few fields were to the south and west; one house looked as though some family might possibly be living in it, and of several other houses only the studding of the lower stories remained. And yet the time was whon this hill-top was enlivened with the arrival of slendid carriages, and with the military, and the greeting of fine gentlemen and ladies, glittering with Jewels, and rustling with silk. Night was approaching and It was necessary t'o return. Tho horse being rested he made greater progress and taking perhaps a longer, but a better road, we hastened through the Bllent pine woods. In these woods we over took some negro boys, who had found and were driving home five or six cows from their pasture in the forest. The cows were as thin as deer and might possibly give a quart of milk each. Starting the next day for Mount Ver non, I visited the Lewis Mansion. It was built about 70 years ago, of brick and in the best manner, and the ells-; tance between the floor aud the celling is 15 feet. The partition walls of eaoh room start from tho cellar, aud (he finish of every apartment is costly. The hall Is spacious, and seemed calculated for dancing, Here the most lordly people of Virginia have been entertained. The present owner came from Maine; he has a fine orohard, he ralßeß grasß ana oiover and makes a plenty of butter. Desoond* lng the hill we wont through bars and gatoß, and past two or throe well culti rated farms whloh formorly were some of the most productive fields of Mount Vernon. A part belonged tov what Washington had called tho Dogue Bun Farm. Besides these, were the Muddy 1 Hall Farm, and the Elver Farm, In all of which 3,260 acres were In cultivation; the rest was in pasture and timber. We passed near the site of the grist mill whither Washington went on a snowy and stormy and returned to go hence no fields "were all around, and here and there were relics of cottages. The fences, for the most part, are made by driving stakes 2} feet apart and four feet high, and filling in all the spaces with pine brush. At last we left the fields, and, turning to the left, ascended a muddy, stony hill. I was willing to walk, for I was cold, and it was necessary; the vehicles went by a road cut through the brush, and I went in tbe ancient track. On the top of the hill was a large new field belong ing to a tract bought not long ago at about $25 an acre, with perhaps 15 acres jast planted in peaches, but n 6 house was In Bight, nor waß a house near. Be youd this was an opening through the trees; at about a mile distant we caught a glimpse of the mansion of Mt. Vernon standing on another hill, and noticeable by its red roof. Then we came to an oJd gate way, on each side of which stood the ruins of a small stone building, which were tbe lodges of the porter or gatekeeper. The entrance was by a country gate that had to be lifted. We now entered the park, which belongs to the Ladies’ Association of Mt. Vernou, comprising 200 acres, which cost them $l,OOO an acre. All around wherethe trees of forest which I was glad to see, for they furnish an. indication of the value of the native soil, These trees were by no meaus large nor tall, aud hence I conclude that the soil of the farm of Mount Vernon never was first class. Following a winding road, with signs of wagon tracks having been made a few dayß before, we descended into a gully 75 or 100 feet deep, with trees overhanging the steep hill sides, and wood flowers growing in dells. Rising out of this gulf an old uncultivated field was on the right hand, and the remains of an apple orchard, while scanty grass covered the ground, and Mount Vernon Mansion and numerous out-buildings were immediately before us. ********* The tomb coutaining the remains of Washington and his wife is on a gentle declivity facing a wooded hill. The road runs by the side of a fence where old pear treesofthenatlvevariety stand, as in a hedge. Through an iron-gVated door one seesfthis marole sarcophagus, handsomely ornamented on the right, while hers, quite plain, is on the left, and this is all. On the outside are the various monuments of the family.— Cor. A. Y. Tribune. Row Mike Rode the Bull, Mike took a notion to go in swim ming, and lie had just got kis clqthes oil' when he saw Beacon Smith’s bull making at him. The bull was a vicious animal, and had come near killing two or three persons, consequently Mike felt rather “jubus.” He didn’t want to call for help, for he was naked, and the nearest place from whence assis tance could arrive, was the meeting house, which was at the time filled with worshippers, among whom was the “ gal Mike was paying his devours to.” So he dodged the bull, as the animal came at him, and managed to catch him by the tail. He was dragged round till : nearly dead, and when he thought he could no longer, he made up his mind : he had better holler.” Ana now we will let him tell his own story: “ So, looking at the matter in all its bearings, I cum to the conclusion that I’d belter let someone know whar I was. fio I gin a yell, louder than a lo comotive whistle, and it warn’t long before I seed the deacon's two dogs a coming down like as if they war seeing which could get thar first. I know’u win) they were arter —they’d jine the bull ag’in’ me. ‘So,’ sez I, ‘old brindle, as ridin’ is as cheap as walkin’ on this route, if you’ve no objections, I’ll jist take a deck passage on that ar’ back o’ yourn.’ So I warn't very long gltling astride of Ihim. Then, if you’d been thar, -you’d have .sworn thar warn’t nothing human in that ar’ mix, the slle liew soorfully, as the critter and I rolled round the field—one dog on one side, and one an the other, trying to clinch my feet. I prayed and cussed, aud cussed ami prayed, until I couldn't tell which I did at last —and neitherwarn’t of no use, they were so orfully mixed up. “Well I reckon I rid about half an hourthis way, when old brindle thought it was time to stop to take in a supply of wind aud cool off a little. So when we got round to a tree that stood thar, he naturally halted, so sez, I, old boy, you’ll lose one passeDger sartln. So I jjlstclum up a branch, kalkerlatlng to ! roost till I starved afore I’d be rid round that ar’ way any longer. I war a makin’ tracks for the top of the tree, when I heard suthln’ a makin’ an orful buzzln' overhead. I kinder ! lookee up, aud If thar wasn’t—well, j thar’s no use a swearin’—but it war the i biggest hornet’s nest ever bilt. You’ll I tain in’ now I reckon, Mike, 'cause rflJbVe’s no help for you. But an idea I struck me then that I stood a heap bet | ter ckance.a ridin’ the bull than whar II was. Sez I, old feller, if you’ll hold ' ou, I’ll ride to the nextsiation anyhow, let that bo whar it will. *• So I jist dropped aboard him agin, aud looked aloft to see what I bad gain ed by changin’ quarters, and, gentle men, I’m a liar, if thar warn’t nigh half u bushel of the |sUnglu’ ’varmints ready to pitch into me when the word ‘go ’ was gin, Well, I reekln they got it, for ‘all hands’ started for our com pany. Homo on ’em lilt the dogs—about a quart struck me, and the rest charged on brindle, ‘ ‘ This time the dogs led off fust, dead bent for the old deacon’s, and as soon as old brindle and I could get under way we followed, and as I was only a deck passenger, I had nothin’ to do with steerin’ the craft; if I had, we shouldn’t have run that channel anyhow. But, as I said before, the dogs took the lead— brindle aud I next, and the hornets dre’kly arter. The dogs yellin’—brindle hollerln,’ and the hornets buzzln’ and stiugin.’ “ Well, we had gotabout tsvo hundred yards from the house, and the deacon heard us, and cum out. I seed him bold up his hand, aud turn white. I reckon he was prayin’ then, for he didn’t ex pect to be called for so soon, and it warn* t long neither afore the whole con gregation-men, women and children— cum out, and then all hands went to yelliu.’ None of ’em had the fust notion that brindle and I belonged to this world. I just turned my head aud passed the whole congregation. I seed the run would be up soon, for brindle couldn’t turn an inch from a fence that stood dead ahead. Well, we reached that fence, and I went ashore, over the whole critter’s head, landing on the other side, and lay there stunned. " It warn’tlong afore some of them as was not Beared, cum runnin’ to see whar I war; for all hands kalkerlated that the bull and I belonged together. But when brindle walked ofr by himself, they seed how It war, and one of ’em said : “ Mike Finck has got thesorummoge once in his ife !” “ Gentlemen, from that day I dropped the courting blzness, and never spoke to a gal since, and when my hunt is up upon this yearth. there won’t be any more Fincks, and its all owin’ to Beacon Smith’s brindle bull.” . The Affectionate Brothers, The following extraordinary instance of the affection of three brothers (though pagans) to their mother, took place In the city of Mecco, the capital or Japan: “ These three sons, who were In a state of Indigence, worked night and day to maintain their mother ; but as the earn ings of their labor were not sufficient for that purpose, they formed a very singular resolution. A proclamation had been issued by the cubo, that who ever should seize a robber, and conduct him bound to the magistrates, should receive a considerable reward. They therefore agreed that one of them should pass for a robber, aud that the other two should carry him bound to the magistrates, that they might provide a subsistence for their mother. Having cast lots who should bo the victim, the lot fell upon the youngest, who suffered himself to be bouud and carried before the Judge, to whom he declared himself a criminal, though In nocent of any arlme. He w&b Imme diately thrown Into prison, and his brothers received the promised reward, Before they departed, they were desir ous to take leave of their brother, and all three embraoed each other with great tenderness, and shed abundance of tears. The Judge, who happened by acoident to be In a place from whence he beheld this scene, not being able to comprehend how a criminal should show so much affection to those who had placed him in the hands of justice, caused the execution to be suspended, and ordered one of his people to follow the two brothers, and mark the place to which they might go. As soon as they came home, they related to their mother what had happened; but the poor woman, when sheheard that her young est son was in prison, began to weep, and giving venc to the most lamentable cries, said sbe was resolved to starve rather than live by sacrificing tbe life of their brother. ‘Go,’ feaid she, ‘carry back the money you received, and re store me my eon if he is still alive; if he is dead, think no more of maintain ing me, but provide a coffin, for I will not survive him.’ ' “ The servant of tho judge, who had followed them, rau immediately to his master, and gave an accountof what he bad heard. The judge sent for the prisoner, interrogated him, and obliged him by threats to tell the whole truth. The young man having made a full con fession, the judge sent a report of the affair to the cubo, who was so affected with this noble action, that he was de sirous of seeing the three brothers. When they arrived ut tho palace, he praised them for their filial affection, and gave to the youngest, who had of fered to submit to death, in order to malutafp his motbor, a pension of one thousand five hundred crowns, and one of five hundred to each of his brothers.” Au Escape From the Bastille. Escape from the Bastille—unless com uived at by the authorities—seemed im possible. Nevertheless, an escape from" it was once made, and the narrative is one of the most marvellous ou record. , The name of the prisoner who had the j courage to,attemptit wasLatude. The of fence for which he was imprisoned was having attempted to obtain an appoint ment by representing to Madame Pam padour that a plot existed for taking her life; rather an odd way of effecting his wishes, but his calculation was that by awakening her gratitude, he might suc ceed. His scheme was seen through; and to punish him, he was sent first to the prison at Vincennes, from (which place he made his escape, and then to the Bastille. By observation, and by counting the number of steps that led from his chambef to the chapel, he sat isfied hitmslf that there must be a dou ble iloor. By meaus of two iron legs drawn from his table and worked on the tiled floor until they had a flat edge resembling a chisel, he and a fellow* prisoner got up the tiles, and found that not only was there a double floor, but that the space was left empty. The next thing to be done was to make a cord, and to do this he was abundantly supplied with material; having at his disposal a good stock of linen, which he had been allowed to retain as not being contrary to the regulations of the prison. They began by drawing out the threads, one by one, until they had sufficient to makeakindofaladder between fifty and sixty feet in length. By means of this ladder they sustained themselves in the chimney, while they worked with the legs of the table at the iron bars which defended the exit of the prisoners in that direction. This labor was fright ful. The mortar had become so hard by time, that if they managed to clear it away to the depth of the eighth of an inch round one bar in the course of a night, they considered it a good night’s work. To soften the morter, they used to ascend with their mouths full of water, and spurt it into the hole, little by little, as they got on with their work. Had they been able to work freely, this would have been excessively toilsome: as it was, they had to work in such painful positions; that one hour at a time was the most they could endure, aud their hands were so cut and bruised that they never descended from their labor without finding them covered with blood. Notwithstanding the tor ture which it caused—of which Latude could never speak in after-years with out a shudder —they persevered In their labor; and at the end of six months, during which they had steadily prose cuted it, they had succeeded In looßen idg the whole of the bars, and were at liberty to continue the manufacture of the rest of the articles they required. First of these was the wooden ladder, to enable them to ascend from the moat to the parapet, and from thence to the governor’s garden, As the prisoners had to supply themselves with fuel at their own expense, they had a stock of wood In their cellj which was sawed up in logs of about twenty inches In length. To cut these logs to suit their purpose, a saw was necessary ; this he made out of an iron candlestick, by means of half of the steel belonging to the tin der-box, from which he had previously manufactured a knife. By the use of these tools they worked their logs into a ladder, every part of which was mark ed in such a way that they could put It together in the dark. All these things were stowed away beneath the floor as as they were completed, to await the night when the attempt at escape was to be made. But in addition to the wooden ladder, another had to be made of not less than eighty feet in length. The linen and silk articles were again resorted to, and the process of unravel ling continued until, in course of time, they had worked the threads into rope capable of bearing the weight of man. This was intended to"effect the descent from the top of the Bastille; but this was not enough. Knowing that this top projected over the wall too far to allow a mau to steady himself In his de scent by its means, and not knowing how loDg circumstances might require them to remain on the ladder, during which they would be swinging back ward and forward, and spinning rouud like a joint of meat before afire, they made another rope one hundred and sixty feet long, which they passed through two holes drilled through the ends of their logs. This rope would of course hang double, and by holding one in the right hand, and the other in the left, they wero able to steady themselves in their descent. Other ropes were made for sundry purposes—the total length made by them being about four hundred aud seventy yards in length. So much for the preparations, which were only a part of those required be- I fore the attempt to escape could be made. Having fixed on a night to make the attempt to escape, Latude climbed the chimney, in doing weich he underwent great pain from the grating off of the skin from his elbows and knees. He nad carried up a cord with him. and by Its means he drew up the different thiDgs they required to aid tlielrescape, which were followed by his companion. Hav ing reached the platform, they fastened the ladder to one of the guns, and-La tude descended successfully, but with immeuse pain and difficulty. His com panion then drew up the loose rope, and lowered their tools, after which he came dowu himself, Latude holding the bot- tom of the ladder, which made It com paratively easy. All this was done within hearing of the sound of the sen tluel’s footsteps as he marched to and fro. The moat they had descended into was filled with water to the height of their armpits, and had pieces of ice lloating in.it. As they had been obliged to give up the mode of escape they had planned in the first instance, the only other way was to wade through this water to the opposite side, and by moaDs of their bars to make a hole through the wall. This was nearly five feet thick, and it took nine hours to make a hole large enough to squeeze through. Be sides the labor this tnvolyed, every half hour they were obliged to dip their heads under water, to avoid the risk of being seen by the guard, the light of whose lantern fell upon the spot where they were at workevery tlmetnerounds were made. At leugth, after Incredible exertions , they found themselves out side the wall, and at liberty; but they had not gone far before they fell Into an aqueduct, the water in which was ; about ten feet deep, and there was a great thickness of mud at the sides. With great difficulty they scrambled out, ran some distance, and then fell on their knees to offer up a thanksgiving for their escape. liitornnl Rcvonnp Raring ftie ft’lnoni Year Tho receipt* from Internal rovenuo from Juno 30, IKOB, to May 81, 1800, eleven month* of tho fiscal your, amount to $130,• 105,G00, and from customs about $100,000,. 000, making u total bf over $302,000,000, E«- tlmuting tho recolpta from Internal royonuo at $25,000,000 for tuo preaent mouth, whloh olosos tho fiscal yoar, and from customs at $15,000,000.

Andrew Johnson recently made a speech to ever five thousand people at Clarksville, Tennessee; He was most enthusiastically received, and spoke for about three hours. In the course of his remarks he drew the following comparison between Washington and Grant They call Grant the second Washington. Let us see how this name, which should be the proudest ever conferred on man. In his first Inangnral Washington said: “The magnitude and difficulty l of the trust to which tho voice of my country men has called me, being sufficient awaken in the wisest and most experienced of her citizens a distrust In his powers to carry out the great responsibility, and n doubt of his qualifications for so grave and high a trust, such a conferment could not but overwhelm with despondence one who, in heriting from nature but iuferlor endow ments, and who being onpracticed in the duties of the administration of civil affairs of such magnitude, should bo peculiarly conscious of his own deficiencies." In his first Inaogural Grant says i “ Tho respon sibilities of my position are great, but I as sume them without fear." Thoro Is the first conlrust—the diffidence and dignity of the one, and the arrogant self-sufficiency of the other. Aguin, Washington said : “When I was first houored with u call into the service of my country, tho light In which I contemplated my duty required that I should renounce overy pecuuiury consideration. I must decline, us inappli cable to myself, any share In the personal emoluments which may bo included in a provision for the Executive Department, and I must pray that the pecuniary consid eration for the station in which I tun placed, daring my continuance In It, be limited to such uctual expenditures as tho public good may require." Washington did not enter the ExeCUtlveJMunsion as Into agrnnd gift establishment; but how is it with this “second Washington?" He was approueh ed by one man, whom he afterwards np- ; pointed Secretary of the Treasury, with a sixty-five thousand dollar check ; the future Secretary of the Navy with a deed to a fur nished house in Philadelphia; by his At torney—General, thut-wuH to-be, with an expensive libraiy, aud soon acf infinitum, each one that hoped for office coming with an expensive gift to purchase it. Here is the second comparison : The real Father of his Country was for tho mamtuhmnce of of principle and the good of his country, while this “second Washington" was shrewdly looking out for—tho second Wash ington ! (Laughter.) Ouejdiseharged his responsibilities with wisdom—the other, in the Jappointmont of his Secretary of the Treasury, violates a law as old us the gov ernment. I will stato you the whole case, messages and all. The Secretary proposed to relinquish an income of £>,OOO,DUO per annum and donate it to tho poor of Nww York for a salary of $B,OOO. Ho wasnn irn- Eorter of foreign merchandise. What might e not have done with tho revenue laws of the United Stales ? I say nothing against Stewart, but simply stuto and inquire when suoh things were enacted before? Tlie Anti-Woman's Rights B&clcty. Conservative people have reason to be delighted with tho action of "The Ameri can Woman’s Educational Union” at their meeting in this city the other day. The old spirits of housewifely thrift aud domestic industry doomed to forgetfulnosss by tho rampageous, rebellious imps of the Wo man's Rights Insurrection must have fell thrilled with hope as they heard the resolu tions which proclaimed tho .return of the homely virtues. The American Woman’s Educational Union believe that instead of woman endeavoring to purify the political sink, she should learn to keep her kitchen clean ; instead offingorlng the ballot, Bbe should endeavor to manipulate tho crockery, be It china or stoneware, of her establish ment: and that instead of healing the wounds in the Slate, she should be an alle viator of asperities, a consoler of griefs, und a nurse of the sick in her own family. The American Woman’s Educational Association, like their wayward Bisters of masculine predilections, crave -for more education for their sex; but the Society does not wish the girls to be taught bass in the public schoolsf br even the art of carry ing a or squirting tobacco juice at a mark, or boxing, orstrutting on a platform. The Society ask that tho young of the hon ored sex shall be taught the "science ofdo mestic economy, in its various branches,” which “ Involves more important interest than any other human science;” and that certain practicul employments, such uh the art of sewing, shall be mado a part of the public school girl education, so that woman may be fitted for “the distinctive profession of her sox as the nurse of infancy aud of the sick, as educator of childhood, and as the chief minister of the family state.”— Truly, one would think that he was retro grading to the virtuous days of our indus trious grandmothers, when tho preserve closet aud linen-roora, the spinning-wheel, aud that vibratory velocipedo ou which our country has ridden to greatness, the cradle, were in fashion. Lest thoy be not fully understood the American Woman's Edu cational Association solicit the Protestant clergy to aid it|in its efforts “ by preaching on the honor and duties of the family slate.” There Is no mistaking the meaning of this. But is there no quiet but bitter sarcasm in the request being exclusively addressed to Protestant clergymen ? Dues it not seem to say that Catholic women have not for gotten tho m&rriage-oommand of Jehovah, nor their duty lo posterity In the produc tion thereof? Leaving tho question unan swered for the sako of peace, it must be truly refreshing to the old-bachelor philos opher who has turned away in despair fiom tho bubble and equeAk of abdormal women to thiuk that women ;of position still exist who honor their own sex by carrying out its specialities without coveting those of males; that when hods too old or cold to enjoy the joys and comforts bestowablo by a lady educated as a wife and trained for maternity, beauteous specimens of tho per fect woman, nobly plunned, shall guide the households and charm the lives of his nephews, and conduct their offspring num bered by the baker's dozen, to museums among whose monstrosities will bo placed wax figures, fearfully exact In their like nesses, representing the leading lunatics of the Woman’s Rights delirium.— N, Y. Mercury. Ao*llclrNi|lii|DUsnlito, The St. Joseph (Mo.) (Jazcttc of r rocent date relates the following somewhat roman tic story: somo time lust fall a young lady came to St. Joseph from East to spend the winter with a relative. Unassuming, hand some, graceful and intelligent, she created a most favorable impression with those who enjoyed tho pleasure of her acquaintance, and formed nu agreeable addition to the social circle in which she moved. She wjis remarkably retired and quiet In her man ners, and studiously sought to avoid all os tentatious displuy in her apparel, hut at iho same time exhibited in her dress tho most exquisite taste and in her manners the most eleennt refinement. Shortly after the lady's arrival she was called upon by a young gentleman (a resident of this county), who bad formed her acquaintance in the East, and soon thereafter his visits became froqaentand bis attentions marked and devoted. It was noticed, as the friend ship of the two ripened into intimacy, that tho lady began to institute, in a very cau tious manner, inquiries for the purpose of ascertaining whether the gentleman hod the least idea of her history and condition, and particularly of her financial affairs. These inquiries were prosecuted for some time, and seem to have resulted satisfactorily. At least, after a courtship of some months, she committed her happi ness and fortunes to the care of the gentle man alluded to, und the celobratlon of tho nuptials were duly recorded in the early part of the present spring. The happy couple immediately started for the Eust. and are now residing at the former home af the bride. And uow comes tho siquel. The quiet and unassuming young lady was m reality tho possessor of immense wealth and tho undoubted heiress of an es tate worth over $4,000,000—a fact wholly unknown at the time oven to the gentleman who had sought her hand and heart. She had taken this method to test tho sincerity of her admirer, and lindlng his heart tho true gold, had committed unhesitatingly a golden treasure and a pure, warm heart to is keeping, without oven permitting the many gallant youths of Hi. Joseph to catch tho lain lest idoa of tlie glittering prla'j ap parently within their roach. Tbe United Brethren rhurch 011 Hecret Societies. Tho General Conferenco of tho United Brethren Church, now in session at Leba non, Pa., by a vote of seventy-ono to twen ly-slx, adopted the majority report of their Committee on secret societies. This report, in substance, states " that they believe ho cret societies to be evil in their influences and tendencies, und udmonishes thosv>of their members, wbouro new members of secret societies, to wlthdruw from thorn. If any member of the Church is u member of such society, tho preacher is to advise hltn to withdraw ; if a preacher, then it becomes the duty of the Presiding Elder to admonish him ; if a Presiding ElcJer, by the Bishop; and if a Bishop, then by tho Presiding Elder of tho district in wliloh said Bishop may re side. If, after such warning, the person refuses to withdrnw from tho secret society ofwhlcb ho may bo a membor, thon his name is to bo stricken from the (Jhurch rocord, and ho is to bo no longer considered a member of tho Church.” This report oxoltcd cousidorablo Intorost, and was fully discussed for Hovoral duys by tho delegates.

The majority, notwithstanding, determined to retain this anti-seoret society elauso in their discipline, believing, no doubt, that it will I strengthen, rather than weaken, their or ganisation.—Ohwreh Advocate , June 2, 1800, ADVEBTUIie.
