She asked ah,o; of those who of late ha , l knelt at her feet. and sued for •her hand. They knew her nut, and casting a look of scorn upon her veiled Nee and coarse wardrobe, bade her "begone!" She entered the country—here she met with derision and scorn: A few kind-hearted peo ple, it is true. bestowed aid : but these were of the poorer class. who had hard work to pro cure their own daily bread; but they could not turn a fellow creature hungry from their d , or, and therefore gave a small pittance from their scanty store. . . 4 One summer's day, a large company met on ' Beach. They were mostly from the v;ty. The disguised heiress, from some cause r other, had wandered there. She asked alms of one or two, termed "upper tens."— They spoke tauntingly, but r are nothing.— What they said' been heard by quite a number of their company. Most of them laughed, or looked as if they thought it "served her ri! , iit." The woman turn allout and was walking sadly away, when a good-looking gentleman stepped forward, and catching hold of her arm, thus spoke, "stay, my good woman—tell me what you want." 60 30 125 She replied in a low, trembling tone, "I want a sixpence—only a sixpence." "You shall have ten times that sum. Here," he added. drawing from his pocket an eagle, and placed it in the gloved hand of the wo man, "take this and lilt is not enough, I will , ire von another." The heiress returned the eagle, exclaiming, "I want a sixpence, sir—only a sixpence ;•' Seeing that she could not be made to take the coin, the gentleman drew forth a sixpen c e, and gave it to the strange being beside him, who, after thanking the generous donor, walk ed slowly away. After being laughed at for so doing by his comrades, he set out in pur suit of the begger woinan, saying: "perhaps she is an heires—or au angel in disguise. I mean to ascertain."

The following extract is froth a Florence cor respondent of the Newark Daily Advertiser. Who but an Italian would'ever have thought of such a thing? "Learned bears, leaped monkeys, and learned pigs are exhibited in other countries —learned fleas here? Who would believe this who has not seen for himself a tiny chariot of cobweb wiredrawn ninibly over a three foot race course by a team of these spry insects ; while another of them holds the rems—eom posed of gold thicatl.as fine as the finest hair , —he driving four in hand, and the insect .coursers trotting as methodically along as if it had never• been in their nature to Jump! An Irishman would say that the hardest part Tif the training of fleas must - he to`eatelt as is is done hi means of gum, where they find themselves all at once in a condition of the 'two men stuck fast in the mud.' Hero the ahr.ost invisible wire is passed through holes pierced in the insect's shell, which may be n by a magnifying glass, resembling that of a, turtle; mid is what makes it so hard to Some time . and training are necessary, as may be supposed, to break its prancing gait into a sober trot; bet time acrd patience can accomplish almost - everything, cud_ after n while the tittle erratic animals go very well in harness, and, the coachman holds steadfast ly the ribbons. Not, however, until well brib ed with blood, which the keeper lets them draw-from -his nwn veins c feeding-them r as the,- openi»g part of the i ! erformance, on his braw ny, arm ; fir so tame arc they as to bite in the presence of numerous spectators: nor is this wonderful, considering that they are among the olowstic animals of Italy. The exhibition has as much sense, and more marvel in it, than the best. monkey-show ; it has more Over; •a wise usage, that of teaching the stranger, smarting and fidgeting under .the visitation of the same tormenting insect, that it may serve other purposes besides that of exercising the patience. A. Two Waded Child. The-birth - of a child with two heads lms. created much gossip during the last few days, 'in the locality of Temple street, Briltol, and, indeed, wherever the intelligence of the arri val of this curious little stranger has reached. The mother is the wife of .Mr. Look, baker, 1:20 Temple street, and the child, a boy,. is liv ing, and was a fortnight old on the Stli ult. The ordinary head of the child is of the natural size, and - has a really beautiful face'; the su perfluous . head projects from the right side of it, and is about the size of a man's list. The child has four eyes, four ears and two mouths, but there is nu chin to-the smaller head; the mouth is deformed, and the eyes have become ' useless; they have lost their lustre, and are tailing out of their sockets. There is an, inter nal connection between the two heads, fur when one mouth works the.other works, when - it - c - r-ies - t he-soon d-issues-fri the child is fed, the - second mouth moves as if craving food, and we believe it limy be fed at either. Up - to the present time the . ehild has thriven, and - the faculty are divided as to its prospect of existence, sonic holding that it may live about a fortnight longer, w h ile oth ers seem to see no reason wl6 , its days may not be prolonged to the azaturai term of man's life.—Bristol Mirror. . Precocity of this Go-ahead Age. We never read accounts of extreme advance in life without thinking of the remarkable progress the present age is making, and to help it along, the precocity of modern youth hood—as illustrated— "I"J;randfather," said.-a,sauey imp the other day, "how old are you?" The old gentleman, who had been a soldier in the war of the Revolution, and was much under the ordinary size, took the child be tween his knee, and patting him on the head with all the fondness of a second child of life, said— . "My dear boy, lam ninety-five years olil," and then commenced to amuse the 1:141. with sonic of the incidents in the story of 'his life, at the conclusion of which lie addressed the youngster, "But, my son, why did you ask . the question?" when the little rascal, with all the importance of a Napoleon, strutted off, 4nd hitching up the first.pair of pantaloons he ever_ wore, after the most approved sailor. fashion, replied: "Well, it appears tome you're darned small of your age." There is none # the right kind of birch that grows around in tiuthcient quantities where such bovs are raised. Anrreloht .ifr. lirebster.—The late Daniel Webster was fond of a joke, ,but only of a harmless one, :ind a benevolent one. Ile had in Northfield, across the river from his Frank lin farm, a small piece of sandy barren land, with a poor house upon it, in which a very destitute family had been living sometime without paying any- tent. Upon one of his visits to the place, the good woman ex pressed her anxiety fallout being able to re main. She expected to be turned out, and did not know where to go, She hoped Mr. Web ster would not he hard with her. lie heard her through, and told her with great gravity, that he knew it was a hard ease for her; lie wished to consider her, and did not mean to ho unkind. At the time putting his hand into his pocket, he took out a five dollar bill and hand ed it to her, saving he was sorry he could nut do better by her, but if she thought she ('fluid stay on the plmie another year fur that, he should be very glad, and rude off. _ Thr 741,1c.5.

Several months ago, the Secretary of the Navy sent an intelli gent naval officer to inspect this battery, and report progress. This report is now on file at the Navy Department. It is an interesting document, at• this time, when gun-boats and all sorts of defensive and offensive modes -of warfare are being developed. The iron vessel, so mysteriously docked-and hid from public view, has already been four teen years under way, -and of course consider able progress hag been made in her construc tion, and she could be finished, if-necessary, in one year. She is four hundred feet long and thirty or forty in breadth. She is built entirely of wroughtiron plate, and each plate seven - inches in thfeknesS; these are attached to her iron frame work. She wilt have eight steam engines, and is to be propelled by two screw paddles, on each side of her stern post. In smooth water she will run, it is expected, from t y wenty to twenty-five wiles per hour : and as she is intended solely fin. harbor defen ces, she will have smooth water to run in at all times. She an by her double propulsive power, by reversinc , n s,me of the screws, turn on her own axis. or in a space of for hundred feet. She is to he mounted with twenty guns of the-heaviest ea li bre and longest range. The duck where this wonderful floating bat tery isitow lying is ,vcry mysteriously_guard ed. . Owini , to the extreme length of the ves sel, rocks have s been excavated, and one of the streets of Holiolten has been tunneled to ad mit.one end of the monster. When Mr. Rob ert L. Stephens died, he left models to enable Mr. Walker, the superintendent of her con struction, to complete the vessel in accordance with his original conception. She has cost the government, thus far, over luilf a Million of dollars, all of which has been expended, and lately the work has been tarried on out of the. private funds of Mr. Stephens. The vessel, or two or three like her, will guard New - York from any 'force that may be brought against the place. She -iS perfectly impervious to shot or shell, from Lancaster, Ptuxhan or Columbian. The iron plates of which she is eons:meted are each thoroughly tested by cannon shot before being fastened to die frame of the vessel. 1 ler machinery is all below the woter line, and out of harm's way. Her speed will make her equal to 'twenty or thirty gun-boats of the modern- size. .With two or three such vessels-New York would in• deed be impregnable. crime of n Free State Man in Kansas. M. W. King, of Racine, gives a tnost inter, esting relation of his experience in '.Kansas-. After relating the circumstances that led to his emigratiOn—his arrival in- Kansas city, in Missouri, with his - family—he writes: "Leaving my family, I started for the 'prom eled just - one hundred and eight miles, according to. the survey, bet'ore could find a sufficiency of timber to warrant me in an attempt, to build a house. At Paw nee, the capital as projeteed by Gov. Reeder, or rather within a distance of five miles from that paper city, I succeeded in makinga claim of 80 acres, oil which, after much severe labor and privation, I succeeded in raising a house that would shelter mY'self and family. Dur ing all the time of my struggle in the wilder ness 1 was aided and assisted in every way by my neighbors, Missourians, and, indeed, er even had to wait longer for their help than they saw wherein 'they could assist me. My claim made, my house, such as it was, completed,. I started for Kansas city to bring my family out. .11lgr of my feelings when I learned that fin' nearly the whole time of my absence my child had been lying at the print of death, and remember, also, that these strangers were all 'border ruffians: Of course, I was anxious. I gliestiimol ray wife, - lrow did you get along? What 'lid you do? Why, she answered me, no people could be more kind ; all took au interest in our suffering and sorrow ; I neNer saw a more kind-hearted and generous people. I was astonished, I confess it. of con rse, 1 said but little—what could 1 say ? Tliey asked me—the 'border ruffians' —of my politics. I told them I was an out and-out Free State man. The answer was in yariahly—"fhat's*right, Mr. King, vote just as you think—we wish every man to enjoy his own opinion.' • For many weary days I walked around, waiting for the returning strength of my child, and during these flays I saw many things that would hate been disbelieved by myself if stat ed to me before I left Racine, and while I was a reader of,, and believer in, the New York Tribune. I saw Many—very many poor fam ilies landed at Leavenworth.—sent on by- the New England Aid Society, who had not the means to bury the dead of their company. Men, women and children were there, sent on by these Aid Sot:ieti:: , , without funds to pur ,chase one meal of food after landing. They came there, expe c ting no one if nOWS what, but in as destitute a condition as ever emigrants landed at the docks of New York. • The men of Missouri, the 'border ruffians,' took them into theiehontes, they fed them— the living ones—and buried the dead—they have them clothes, food, and kind words ; they :Lewd, in short, the Dart of noble, generous, Christian men, and their reward has been abuse, contnr»ely aidmisrepresentation. That the men of Missouri felt and feel ag grieved is not to be wondered at by ahy who know anything of the facts. They have been flooded by comp:Thi e s sent on by 'aid societies,' of _men who at home could not command the respect, hardly the forbearance of the commu nities in which they lived; they have been obliged not only to feed these men, but to lis ten to their senrilluus abuse, and now, when they base sought nothing more, as I well know, than an equal and just share of the ad vantages of the newly opened territory, they are belied by press and pulpit through the entire North. As I said before, I hate slav ery, an 1 never by net or word will give it countenance, hut, I Late it so much that I cannot hear even to see the mistaken.

Rowland & Bros., of Norfolk, Va., own a slave, James Wiley, whom they per mitted some mouths since to make a trip t the North to see the Orions. They not only gave him a perniit to take passage in the New York steamer from Norfolk, but also gave him the necessary funds to'bear his expenses. He yisited Falmouth, Fall River, New Bedford, and sundry other abolition towns in Massa- - ehusetts, and on Saturday last returned home, via, this city and Baltimore. The Norfolk Ar gus says : "When Jim (for this is his fainiliar name,) was in New New Bedford he met . t3everal fu gitives whom he recognized as former slaves in Norfolk. They, supposing he had run away, received him with downcast looks, and assured himivtliht lie had come to the wrong plaee, and remarking that they were `making out' very poorly, having to labor hard and get but riorly paid in return ; they express ed great dissatislaction at the tT[fft...iireEttlwy received at the hands of their - abolition friends. .Jim told them that ho had not rim away, that he was only on a visit and would return to Norfolk in a few days. At several of these towns in Masmelinsetts he was importuned by the al olitionists to remain, assuring him that lie was then a free man; he declined their kind offers, and assured them that such freedom- as a black man enjoyed with them bud no charms for him—he vastly. preferred the slavery of Norfolk,-acciempanied - with an aim oho ee of the nevessities, aye, the comforts of l'se as he enjoyed them at home, to all the freedom of the North.

Soon after this strange idea got possession of his mind, he discovered an elegant coffin in one of the principal warehouses, which suited' him.

The Origin of the Troubles in Kansas. The much controverted question as to the origin of these troubles is put to rest by the deposition of lion. Daniel Mace, which is ap pended to Mr. Oliver's minority report in the: ,Kansas election case. It is proved distinctly by this deposition that the idea of defeating the true object of the Kansas act, which was to enable the bona fide settlers in the Territory to determine for themselves, and perfectly un controlled by extraneous influences, the char acter of their domeitie institutions, originated -with the members of Congress who bad op posed the bill, and immediately after the bill was passed. The first Kansas Aid Society was fOrined 'in Washington city, and embiac-r_ ed most of the members of -Congress who had opposed the Kansas bill, and the avowed ob ject was to procure voters to go to Kansas who would at all times oppose the introduction of slavery into the Territory. The Massaohu: setis Aid Societies were the first fruits of this congressional organization to defeat a law of Congress. To give more efficiency to the Massachusetts project, a charter of ineppora: tion was obtained, and the prospect of making money Was held as a stimulus to adventurers. In this way fanaticism *and avarice entered into partnership, and gave the impulse to the sectional agitation . which is now 'convulsing the confederacy from its centre to its circum ference. The movement, which it is-, now found had its origin . in Washington, ,provoked similar associations on the borders of Kansas and afterwards in Kansas itself. There is now no difficulty in fixing the true responsi bility fear all the outrages which have neon perpetrated in Kansas. The deposition or Mr. - Mace is as follows, DANIEL MACE called-and sworn. To Mr. OLIVER Immediately after the pawing° of the Kan sas-Nebraska act, I, together with a number of others,•who were Members of Congress and senators, believing that the tendency of that act would be to make Kansas a slave State, in order to prevent it.formed an association here in Washington, called, if I recollect aright, "The Kansas Aid Society."' Ido not remem; igir all who became members of that society, but quite a number of members who were op posed to slavery in Kansas, of the lower House, and. also of the Senate, became mem hers of it, and subscribed various sums of money. • I: think 1 subscribed -either- $5O . or $lOO : I am not now prepared to say which. We issued a circular to the people of the -countrry,--of-the_northernStates_:_particq_larly.„__ in which we set forth what we believed wire the dangers of making Katuias a slave State, d urged that steps be taken to induce per -sons frenv the North, who_ were_ opposed to slavery, to gethere'and prevent 'its notrodue tion, if possible. We sent a great many air. CularS to various parts of the United States with, that object, and also Communications of various kinds. Ido not now remember what they were. The'object was. to havepersons induced to go to Kansas who 'would make that their home, nnd who would, at all elec tions, vote against the institution of slavery.' I. think Mr. Goodrich, of Maisachusetts, was the President of. the society. I am not certain.' about the Vice Presidents; probably Mr..Fenton, 'of New York, and myself, were Vice Presidents. The names of the 'President and Vice Presidents were attached to our cir culars which we sent throughout the country. My recollection is, that generally, these embers of the house and Senate who were opposed to the Kansas-Nebraska apt became members of this Society, and contributed to it. The leading primary object of the associa tion was to prevent theintroduction of slavery into Kansas, as I stated during the short ses sion of Congress, , in answer to a - questiou pro pounded to me by yourself, I believe. We be lieved that,*unless vigorous steps of that kind. were taken, Kansas would become a slave State. Ido not remember the caption of the sub'scription paper. I think no other object was mentioned or specified, except the pre vention of slavery in Kansas. I think that was the sole object of the movement. I do not recollect whether Mr. Speaker Banks was a member of that society or not, or whether Senator Seward was or not. Mr. Goodrich kept the books. My impression' is that a majority of those who voted against the bill were members of that organization.-- I do not remember the total amount of money raised by means of that organization. We had a room here, and employed a secretary, and consequentiy had expenses top ay. I I do not know the amount raised. - think there were persons, members of that associa tion, who were not members of either house Congress.
