A Sketch of Norwegian Life.’’ From the Norwegian of Bjomson, by Au gusta Flesner and S. Rugley-Powers.—To little story we can apply, even while thinking of the masterpiece of De la Motto Fouque, the epithet of exquisite. It is a love-tale of the most scrupulous simplicity, unvexed by the air of politics or the fumes of artificial society, but blooming like a moun tain gentian upon the hills around a Norway fioid. Herr Bjorhson tells his tale with a pen etration of the old Scandinavian subtlety that we find from time to time in Andersen; his manner,. ,ifl, fall of hints; when the feeling' caimot well be expressed in words without verging on garishness or fine writing, or on an intensity foreign to the delicate balance sought for in his style, he finishes everything by a stroke of simple by play that expresses just the nuance, and tells fat more than it seems to. It is Francesca di Rimini with her “quel giorno piU non vi leggemmo avante;” or it is the Greek painter vailing the face whose expression would transcend the repose of art- On other occa sions his peasant characters will break into songs that seem at first to have no connec tion with the situation, but which quietly pronounce the accent sought for. These bal lads, by the way, are rendered in English with an ease and musical sense that could hardly be exceeded,and the whole translation moves with absolute fluency and grace. “The Golden Treasury” is a collection of popular yet select poetry, old apd new, whose extreme vogue in England ought to be repeated in this country. The smallness of the book (it is a 16mo) is due rather to the rigid rejection of every poem that conld not he called a gem than to any shortcoming or want of industry in harvesting the literary field. A turn of originality is given to the anthology by the character of the Notes; the critical acumen of Mr. Palgrave often starts out with great felicity in the accidental word which occurs to him as the fit annotation of a great poem. The volume is. the most valu able pocketful for a country walk we can think of. These little books are published with per fect neatness by Bever, Francis & Co,,Boston and—Cambridge, and are sent us by J. B. Lippincott & Co., who have them for sale. The Young Folks' News is an ornamental folio weekly, with a large engraving on the firßt page of each number, and an interesting variety of literary sketches, poetry and puz zles for the youth. The last, for February 24th, is decorated with one of Hoppin’s ele gant drawings, a reDresentation of tonri=<= climbing the Pyramid. It is astonishing that such a tasteful budget can be given away for two cents, but Alfred Martien, the publisher, does it—2l booth Seventh street.

Their planchette-boards are of various grades of beauty, but the most en tieihg are the dainty specimens in plate-gla3S and ivory. Planchette, the capricious sprite, would never consent, one would think, to deliver her oracles from any coarser tripod after being once inducted into one of these pure shrines. Beriously, the drawing-room philosophers who believe that electricity is the motive cause of the vagaries of plan ehette, should not fail to experiment with these non-conducting instruments, which may have a veritable effect in insulating and concentrating “der’ll uence.”—Turners’ num ber is 808. DEATH OF AN EMINENT ENGLISH COMEDIAN. [From the London Glowworm, Feb. 6.1 One of the beet actors of the present cen tury—perhaps the most natural actor that ever trod the stage—Robert Keeley, passed | quietly away to his rest on Wednesday after noon, full of years and honors, in hiß own house at Brompton—that pleasant suburb, so dear to the theatrical profession—and sur rounded by the members of his tamily. It is more than ten years since his last appearance on the stage, and ten years since is, to use the slang phrase of the day, such an “awful time ago in matters theatrical, that to very many 0f o tl v rr v ai ! t , rß r nemo and fame W -.v. b Tv bU t lradm<lEl i'- They will class him If °? r 1 M r len aD(I actors Of the Old school, who were doubtless all very well in their way, but who could not have held their own with “lmmensikofT’and •who would have been nowhere in the per formahce of a breakdown. Perhaps not and yet this said old school was nut absolutely THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN—PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1869. without merit N6tl that; Mr. Keeley b3-r longed to it Ho bad Been both of the; comedians above named, 1 and ElUslon and “Billy” Blanchard: jhe had, been contempor raneons with Liston,' John'; Reeve, Farley, Buckstone, Wright, Rogers, Robson and other famous mimes, but-he imitated none of them. His humor was special, hewas his own schoolmaster and his own Scholar, though occasionally one catches a reflex of the exquisitely dry sententious fun in the stolid manner and noteless voice of Compton. Bom in 1793, Mr. Keeley was originally bound apprentice to a printer, but his yearn ings for the Btage were too Btrong to allow him to remain quietly in business, and he soon threw away the composing stick and became an actor. His friends were opposed to this change, regarding the dramatic pro fession as one —as, inheed, it then was in the eye of the law—of rogues and vagabonds; add in later years Mr. Keeley would often sarcastically lament that he had not taken the advice, as he might now have been “a re spectable master printer with 30s. a week.” He acted in the provinces at first, but came to London in 1818, and was the original Jimmy Green in that mad drama which Moncrieff took from that silly book of “Tom and Jerry,” which George Crulkshanks illus trated; a drama in which Wrench,and Reeve, and Wilkinson played, and which was the great attraction in the very early days of the Adelphi Theatre. For the next twenty years Mr. Keeley was always before the public —an immense favorite at the Olympic and the HaymarketjWhere he played in the “Hundred Pound Note,” in the“ Beulah Bpa,” in “Boots at the Swan,” “Twice Killed,” and fifty other farces, of which he was the her»; at Drury Lane, under the Macready management, where his principal successes were in the “Prisoner of War” and the “Windmill.” At Covent Garden,.under the Vestris manage ment, where he was the original Dolly Spanker in “London Assurance." Then he and Mrs. Keeley visited America, where they achieved a great success, and reaped, a highly satisfactory reward of their exertions. In 1844 Mr. Keeley took the Lyceum Theatre, which, in conjunction with his wife, he man aged for several years with great ability and business knowledge, finding the theatre far more remunerative than any other manager of it before or since his time. In 1850 he joined Mr. Charles Kean in the management j of the Princess's; but the men were unsuita ble to each other in every way, and Mr. Keeley soon seceded from the connection. He then joined the Adelphi coinpany, with I Mr. Webster, but his old profession was evi- I dently beginning to be distasteful to him, and I he quietly slipped out of harness, though to j the last he maintained a strong interest in i everything connected with the stage. Mr. Keeley was a man of natural common Eense, keen, caustic humor, and had great l perception of character. His reading was extensive, and his familiarity with odd, ab- Btruse subjects often astonished those who had regarded him only as a farceur. For the last two years his mind had lost much of its old vigor, but he would occasionally brighten up at the sight of old friends, and showed glimpses of his old humor to the last. He leaves behind him a widow, Mrs. Keeley, who shared his fortunes and his stage suc cesses for so many years,and two daughters — one the widow of the late Mr. Albert Smith, the other the wife of Mr. Montagu Williams, the well-known banister. LITTLE CAPTAIN TROTT. By Harriet needier Stowe* HIB IHVENTIVEJtESS AND VERSATILITY. He has been known, while mamma is busy over some bit of fine work at her sewing - machine, to pad into the pantry and contrive machinery lor escalading the flour barrel, which has enabled him at last to plump him self fairly into the soft, downy interior, which he can now throw up over hia head in chuck ing imuspun, powdering hia curls till he looks like a cherub upon a Louis Qia toize China teacup. Taken out, while his mother iB looking for fresh clothes in the drawer, he hastens to plunge his head into the washbowl to clean it He be sets pussy, who runs at the very sight of him. He has often tried to perform surgical operations on her eyes with mamma's scls - Bors; but pussy, having no soul to save, ha 3 no interest in being made perfect through Buffering, and, therefore, gives h:m a wide berth- Nevertheless, Trott sometimes catches her asleep, and once put her head downward into a large stODe water-jar, before she had rehily got enough awake to comprehend the situation. Her tail, convulsively waving as ! a signal of distress, alone called attention to | the case, and deprived her of the honor of an i obituary notice. But, mind you, had puss ! died, what mamma and grandma , and auntie would not have-taken Trott’s part against all the pussies in the world? “Poor ! little fellow! he must do something;” and | “After all, the cat wasn’t much of a mouser; i served her right; and . wasn't it cunning of | him?” And, my dear friend, if Trott some day, when you are snoozing after dinner, ; should take a fancy to serve you as Jael did i Sisera, your fate would scarcely excite any i other comment. The “poor dear little fel low” would still be the hero of the house,and I you the sinner, who had no business to put I yourself in his way. This last sentence was | interpolated by my crabbed bachelor uncle, I Mr. Herod Killchild, who eannot, of \ course, be considered as’ dispassionate authority. In fact, an open feud rages ! between Uncle Herod and Trott: aud i he only holds his position in the family i circle, because the women folks are quick ; witted enough to perceive that, after all, he is in his heart as silly about Trott as any of i them. He has more than onee been detected I watching the little captain’s antics over the I top of his newspaper, aud slyly snickering to | himßelf as he followed his operations, while ! at the same moment his mouth was ostensibly full of cursing and bitterness. Once, when Trott was very, very sick indeed, Uncle Herod lost his rest nights,—he declared it was only indigestion; his eyes watered, —he declared that it was only a severe cold. But all these symptoms marvellously disappeared when Tfott, as his manner is, suddenly got well and came out good aB new, and tenfold more busy and noisy than ever. Then Uncle Herod remarked dryly that “he had hoped to be rid of that torment,” and mamma laughed. Who minds Uncle Herod? THE DIVINE BK.IIT OF THE LITTLE TYRANT. Well, after all, our hearts are very soft toward the little,deluding Captain. The very thought that the house might some day be without his mischief and merriment, and the patter of hiß little stubbed feet, causes us a hard lump in our throats at once. No noise of misrule and merriment, however deafen ing, where Trott reigns triumphant, can be so dreadful as the sileuoe in the house where he once has been, but is to be no more. “The mother in the sunshine sits Beside the collage wall, And, slowly, slowly as she knits, Her quiet tears down fall. Her little hindering thing if gone, And undisturbed she may Unit on.” When we think of those short little mounds in Greenwood and Mount Auburn, we go in for patient submission to Trott with all his faults, rather than the dismalness of being without him. His hold is on our heart strings, and-reign over us ho must. We are reminded, too, how, years and years ago,, the Dearest, Wiseßt, and Greatest j'tfiat?ey«ir4ive& on earth took littleTrolt on his | knee, “Whosoever shall receive oho ofi such children, in thy. name, recolveth me;” “for of such is the kingdom of heaven. 7 i Trott was doubtless as full of motion and mischief iri thoße days as In these; biit the Divine Ayes saw through it alt, into that great mystery making little Trott’. the . father of whatever is great aud good in the future. — Atlantic Monthly. IBS COURTS. An Interesting t’asc-WJiat is mar riage 1 Yesterday .in the Supreme Conrt, Justice Agnew rendered a decision in a case which, In its various shapes, has been pendlng ln the’-Court for about five years. It came before the Supreme Court upon the appeal of Mrs.. Catharine Vincent from the decision of the Orphans’ Coart, denying her an Issue to test her marriage with Mr. Do Ama relli, deceased. Tho facts of the; cake present In Bbtue degree a romance. - ™' .Catharine Evans, an hnmble Irish girl, then about sixteen years of age, leaving her parents, come to tho Unitcd’States In 1851,and lived for a time with an auntiaJhls city, sometimes going out to service and sometimes learning to saw,aud married the testator, as all her relatives believed, in 1858. Vißcencio De AmarelU, sometimes called an Italian and sometimeso Frenchman, came to the United Btateis from : Rosano, in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, In the jear 1850. A well-born gentleman, of edncation and cnltnre. a professor of the Italian language and literatnro in the University of Pennsylvania, of forty-four years of age, associ ating with gentlemen, and mingling in the best society, he was croud ot his poMtlon and jcalons of his reputation. He foraed an intimacy,as the st quel has proved, with this hnmblo Irish girl, and soon alterwards recognized her as his wife. His manner of recognition caused all the diffi culty after his death. The marriage,it is alleged, took place in May, 1858, and about this time, a* “Mr. Vincent,' 1 he secured for his wife a board iDg-honse with a lady, who Inquired If they were man and wife, inasmuch as Mr. Amarclli was at the honse on Sundays only, and two or three times a week, in reply to this query he proposed to produce witnesses or proof, and did subsequently exhibit a certificate in Latin, containing, however, in his own handwriting an endorsement that thlß was the certificate of her marriagei. Do AmarelU remained at ,his own boarding house, oDd. visited Mrs. Vincent during the week. Two children were born, and the wit nesses who Eaw the parties together represented that he appeared very fond Of Mrs. Vincent and the children. When one of the children died, while he was at a watering place, he wrote affec tionate letters to Mrs Vincent as “Dear Catha rine."bud tolling her that he loved her "more and more,” bidding her not to grieve for the death “of my dear George," and urging that he was now in Patadiso and among the angels. Among the visitors and friends of Mrs. Vincent at ber own homo, it was alleged that Mr. De Ima relli never denied the fact oi marriage. He died at bis boarding'house, in 1864, and by his will left $3,000 to “Mrs. Catherine Vincent,” thename Vincent being written after an erasure “Evans.” When the executors sought oat Mrs. Vincent, they heard for the first time, In common with Mr. De Amarelli’s other friends, that he was mar ried. Mrs. Vmcent, who did not know the fact ei her hnsband’e death until after the burial, im mediately presented her claim to be recognized as the widow, and her surviving child to be con sidered the son of the deceased. The Auditor re fused to recognize the claim, became, in his view, the marriage was npt established, and in this he was sustained by the' Orphans' Court, and hence the appeal to the Supreme Court. Judge Agnew, in an elaborate opinion, reviews all the testimony and the argument advanced by the Auditor in support of his position. Jndje Agnew contends that the doable life led by Mr. De Amarelli wbb due to the fact that he thought it necessary, in order to retain his standing in 4 society, and also retain his pupils and his pride; aud fear of disclosure led him to change his name when he appeared to take boarding with bis wife. The same dread of the frowns of the world and of the taboo of society would lead to a private marriage. The same reasons would be used to satisfy the mind of a simple girl, who, content to be the wife of one so high, so elegant, and apparently de voted to her, would be willing to trunt him and serve him, as she did to the best of her powers, and thus live as it were, half apart from him. His profession as a teacher of languages and the of pupils he mnnt n>»oh to make his living, were of themselves sufficient to excuse him to her,while his exceeding penuriomness led him to appear to her poorer than he was, and wi 1 ac counf'for many acts attributable to a different motive. Reference is made to the fact that there was not a breath of evidence to sully her reputa tion, and the Judge closes as follows : “If there shall be no presumption in favor of virtue; if a woman can for years repose upon the bosom and bear children to one who acknowl edges her as his wife, expresses towards her the affection of a husband, and, when death takes from them their child, endeavors to comfort her with his sympathy, with the consolations of re ligion Bnd the hope of a happy reunion in Hea ver,; if all Ibrse things can be, aDd without strong evidence, nay, with but suspicion for proof, wo must pronounce that woman not a wife and her cbildien illegitimate, then there is a foundation upon which the learned Anditor could build up bis controlling conclusion that the relations of tb< sc parties began improperly. * * Upon the whcle evidence, we are dearly of opinion in ibis cose that the prool of marriage is sufficient, nnd tbnttbe circumstances relied on as disprov ing tbe presumption are too weak and inconclu sive in view ot the explanation furnished by the I circumstances themselves. Marriage, followed by the birth of issue, lies at the very base of the social fabric and oi all good morals, and looking at Ibc conetqnences to society, we feel unwilling 10 suffer an acknowledged marriage and parent age of children to be overthrown by weak and inconclusive reasons drawn from the difference of position in lile, and from conduct readily ex plained by the circumstances of the parties. Mya 11 ry may surround its origin, suspicion may linger in its circumstances and slight doubt disturb its clearness, but the policy of tho State demand 6 that tbe relation should not be lightly discredited. This is necessary in this country wh( re marriage is a civil contract and often un attended by ceremony or performed by a single official witness. “The decree of the Orphans’Court is reversed upon the appeal of Catharine Vmcent, in her own right, and as gnaidian of William Henry Vincent, and this Conrt now finds and decrees that Vincent de Amarelli and Catharine Vincent,the appellant, were married and living in lawful wedlock at the time oi and before his death, and that William Henry Vincent is the legitimate issue and one of the lawful representatives of said decedent, and tbo record is ordered to be remitted to the Or phans’ Conrt, with direction to proceed and to die tribute tbe estate of the decedent to and among the persons entitled to the same, accord ing to law, and the costs are ordered to be paid eat of the estate.

State Temperance Association* Harbumjro, Feb. 23. —The State Temperance Convention convened at half-past ten o'clock this morning, preceded by a prayer meeting. The attendance was slim, as compared with former conventions, there being seventy or eighty ac credited delegates present. Hon. EUSlifer, ol Union coanty, was elected temporary chairman. Mr. McGulgan moved that a commltleo of five be appointed to nominate permanent officers for this Convention. Mr. Barr moved to ameDd os follows : That the committed consist of one person from every county represented In this Convention. The amendment was agreed to. Afternoon Session. —The Convention re-assem bled at two o'clock, and was opened with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Hendrickson. The Chairman of the Committee on Permanent Organization reported as President, Hon. 8. B. Chase, of Susquehanna, with a Dumber of Vice Presidents. Mr. McGulgan, from the Committeo on Cre dentials, said that as a large number of names appeared on credentials as present who are not present, the Committee directed him to report only the lodges, divisions, churches and associa tions represented, and requesting members pre sent to band in their names. Mr. Clark, of Luzerne, offered the following: Whereas, The liquor dealers of. our COCtntry have declared the traffic In intoxicating beve sr rages to be a legitimate part ol American com merce, and deny tbo right to prohibit It and re strict the same, and through their leagues have re peatedly avowed their purpose to vote for no man in favor of total abstinence, or allow, if they can prevent 11, such a man to be nominated for office, and have constantly used their political power lor the continuance of the traffic, and have re ceived in Ibe past, and still continue to receive, the countenance of the present political parties, in snpport of the position thus assumed; there fore, bfc it Revolted, That In behalf of Ibe public peace and welfare we believe the lime has come when by the pander of the two great political parties to the liqnor Interests, and too position of our adversaries, we are driven to take a decided poll t ical stand, and we most firmly believe that the position in which wc are tbus placed, as per force of circumstances, demands that the friends of temperance throughout tho State should lorm a distinct temperance or prohibition party, accept the issue, and meet them in solid phalanx at the polls. In resistance to their iniquitous demands. Resolved, That in considering the political as pects of temperance, we fully recognize that its foundation rests upon the moral convictions and religions sentiments of the people, and that we firmly believe political opinions thereon to be among the most solemn of Christian obliga tions. Resolved, That the relation of the State to the liqnor traffic Is eminently a political question that is inseparable from the ordinary objects of gov ernment, the security of persons and property, and the suppression of pauperism and crime. It touches the foundation of government, the char acter of the citizen, and tho parity of the ballot, and that from its relation to all those objects, the issue between license and prohibition is more important tbnD party issues. Resolved, That allegiance to party is consistent and honorable only when party represents prin ciples, and while we do not propose to ignore tho other great questions which are or may come be fore the country, we feel called upon solemnly to declare that no party shall receive onr suffrages whose platform and candidates are opposed to the principles and trinmph of prohibition. Mr. Martin Corry offered tho following: Resolved, That secret temperance societies are an efficient means of farthering the temperance canse, and that it is tho sense of this Convention that every temperance person shoald do an active member of sneb an organization. Resolved, As the sense of this Convention, that the most effectual way to promote the temper ance reform is by the eniorcemcnt of a strict pro hibitory law, and that we urge upon temporauae organizations everywhere the necessity of pro curing legislative enactments to accomplish that object. Resolved, That we recommend the formation of political parties haring prohibition as the great central plank of the platform. Mr. Fenn, of Harrisburg, offered the following: Resolved, That this Convention respectfully urge upon the Legislature of the State, dot in session, the importance of passing a law which shall give to each city, borough, county or town ship in this Commonwealth, the privilege of voting for or against allowing the sale of llqnor, by license or otherwise, In said city, borough, county or township for the period of one,..year, at tho next general election, the courts to be bound in.the matter of granting licenses for gale for districts by the decision of the majority therein had, and that this privilege be continued from year to year; and they earnestly petition the Legislature for the passage of the samel Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed by this convention to prepare a bill in accordance ■with the above resolution, and to have it laid bo fore tho Legislature for its action. Resolved, That this Convention looks upon it as inconsistent for advocates of the temperance re form to vote for men who are notoriously op posed to this principle. , Mr. Rauch, of Lancaster offered the following: Resolved, That we regard the habitual use of ntoiicnting liquors as a serious, if not absolute disqualification lor a station of public responsi bility and lDfluenco, and that we regard it aB a duty of temperance meD, by their presence and influence in their primary meetings, to se cure the nomination of suitable rulers and legis- lators. Resolved, That the uso or traffic in intoxicating liquors, as a beverage, literally disqualifies a man for holding office fit church or Btato. Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to use all cur Influence in Convention and at the polls, and especially to prevent the eleotion of any man in the Btate, county or borough who will not sternly enforce.our temperance laws. Mr. Auger, of Montgomery, offered resolutions against physicians prescribing alcohol. - Mr. Nicholson offered resolutions embracing declarations that some of the doctrlnos of the canse long known have boon of late much ne glected and ought to bo revised. Mr. Black, from the Business Committee, re ported tho following among otlior resolutions, Which were adopted: ■ \ Resolved, That Scripture, scionco and history . ODStretQ'i&f'total. 'AbaUneii(»:fjrontintoxl eating drinks Is the only (rue temperance, and Is, therefore, the boundtenjjnttv/of every mao. Resolved, That the manufacture and sale of in toxicating drinks are everywhere a public Injury, and should be held to be a public crime. Resolved, That the licensing of tho sale of In toxicating drinks Is wrong'and ruinous, and wherever adopted bas proved a failure either to extirpate or materially diminish the evils of in temperance. - ; r v, - ißesolved, That (he prohibition ol suohitraffle la the only safo legislation, and the only legislation which can be practically enforced, and, therefore, that no law, however strlDgent. which recognizes tho right to sell intoxicating arinks, can receive onr sanction. Resolved, That we adopt tho recommendation contained In the fifteenth affd sixteenth resolu tions of the Sixth National Temperance Conven tion, held at Cleveland, Ohio, July 28th and 29th, 1808, as follows: Whereas, The liqnor dealers of onr country have declared; the traffic in intoxicating drinks to be a legitimate' pnrt of Americas Commerce, and deny tbo right to prohibit or restrict tho same, and through tbelr leagues and congresses have repeatedly avowed their purpose to vote for no man in favor of total abstinence, and have con stantly used their political power for the con tinuance of their trade, and have in tbo past re ceived the countenance of political parties In support ol the positions .thtis assumed; therefore, Rosolved, That in behalf of the pnblic peace and welfare we accept the issue, and will meet them at the polls In resistance of these iniquitous demands. Resolved, That temperance, having its political aßweli as moral aspect£anddnties,demandsjadicl ousnso of the ballot-box for Its promotion.and the Convention nrgei the friends ol the canse to ra fuße tOVote for any candidates wbodeny the ap plication of Ihe just powers of civil government to the suppression of the liqnor traffic, and ex hort the mends of temperance,by every practical method In their several localities, to soenre righteous political action for the advancement of the canse. t, Resolved, That sobriety, as well as competency and honesty, Is an eescntial qnallficatlun for civl office, and to secure this and the establishment o.' temperance in every locality in the Stale of Penn sylvania, we do recommend the formation of a prohibitory league, for the securing of proper men ol settled temperance convictions and practice, in every county.

Resolved, That we recommend that the friends of temperance in the several counties immediately organize for the purpose herein set tortb, by the appointment of a county committee of to act in concert with the Slate Central Committee, and that the cities and townships also organize by the appoimrnenl of a similar committee of three for each Precinct or Ward in the cities, and the same number in the townships to co-operate with the connty committee. Mr. Rauch, of Lancaster, offered a resolution for local prohibition. Evening Session. —ColODel McFarland, State Superintendent of the Soldiers' Orphans, offered a substitute for Mr. Rauch’s resolution, recom mending a general law on tho subject.
