'■■■• This simple and probable,-yet stimulating tale, narrates how Willma Ferclass, the beauty of -Moosdorf,- yields Iter maiden heart to Au- > gustos Arnold, a yoiutg aristocrat of the same towh.E : After the objections to a misalliance have bedn With difliculty overcome,. Augustus sends his declaration in writing, which is in tercepted- and concealed by tlie treachery of his own brother, a rejected suitor of the hero ine’s. The'next meeting of the lovers naturally results in a misunderstanding, the hero believes himself rejected, and * absents himself, for the future, whereupon Willma, in pride and desperation, accepts another suitor. introduction of this second lover is skilfully managed by the writer so. as_to wear_the_look of fate and supernatural influence in the eyes of the artless Willma and the simple society around lier: Heralded ■by ancient country- side superstitions, the apparition of the new school-director is made to present an aspect of doom, of irresistible destiny, We will extract the passage in which Mr. Horst first appears,' as a good specimen of the style, and as an in teresting delineation of some charming old customs of Germany. THE VISION OF SYI.VESTEK-EVK. Nor were the young ladies less courageous; for nothing could have prevented them from going to see their friends, and spending the evening, either in having their fortune told with cards, or by looking into muddy water,'or throwing tlie White of an egg into a tumblerful of water, telling, by the shape it assumed, what fortune or misfortune the future was to bring them; or, best and most relied on of all, by' melting lead and throwing it into cold water, watching it harden, and twist, and form into all kinds of fantastic figures, by which they then ascertained tlie occupation of tlieir future husbands. Willma Perclass, who had come hack from her visit to her sister only a week before, alsb ; had her friends with her, and they were already deeply engaged in important preparations for that eve ning’s amusements. Lead, eggs, tumblers, water, cards, ami so forth, were ready,—the young ladles standing about, talking in high excitement. Fruit and cakes had been placed on a side table, with several pitchers of cider, just then beginning to ripen, at which time it was considered most delicious. About ten o’clock, when all had got sufficiently or insuffi ciently enlightened about their future fate, dancing began, songs were sung in turn, games were played imtil past eleven o’clock; then the most important and exciting moment drew near. “ Where have you put the looking glass ?” Willma was asked from all sides. “We hope it is in a very frightful place!” “I know you will be satisfied,” answered Willma', with a most mysterious mien. ‘‘You know, down in tlie front hall, that large, broad cellar-door? Well, after opening that, and stepping down just two steps of the stone stairs, there! is a harrow, little door in the wall; that door I got opened to-day, had the dark closet swept out, and, on its back wall, is hung .the looking-glass. Fastened to each side is a 'candlestick.” “Excellent!” “Won’t it be very impres sive?” and such Ike exclamations, followed this explanation. “Now, let'us get ready. We are seven girls, —a lioly number in the bargain. Let us see, who comes first? Let Willma be first. She to go in, we after her, placing ourselves on one side of the wall.” “Very well, if you wish, be it so; I shall look in first. It wants five minutes to twelve. Let us go downstairs. Give me a lighted can dle that we may see the way.” “How the storm whistles!” said Bertha, after having reached the hall. “Let us bolt tlie front door.” “No, Bertha, you must not do so. You know that my father is at the club house,- and we might forget, to unlock it again, and he would be unable to make himself heard, with us noisy young' peo ple upstairs, and the wind blowing outside. There is no danger; the door is well shut. Come on.’-’ / Just on the* stroke of twelve Willina/iit the ' candles near the mirror, and her friends stood in a row along the wall. The storm roared outside the house, shaking the strong door making it creak in its hinges, as if furious at the resistance, —a fitting night for mysterious goings-on like that in the closet indeed Willma’s face looked as white as marble. Her dark eyes gleamed and sparkled in the light, as I if her mind were greatly agitated. She liesi- j tated to. approach the glass. The others j urged her, saying that they also J wanted to try. She raised her head ! quickly, and looked straight and firmly into the glass. Why did her eyes dilate so ; widely, and her breast heave as if in fright? She raised her finger and pointed towards the glass, her gaze still fixed upon it, staring, as if fascinated by terror. The others also looked, and dimly saw—the head of a man! His pale face was framed into a large, black beard. The dark eyes seemed to look wouderingly into I theirs,and the dark hair was covered by a large slouch hat. At last they heard a voice behind them saying: “I see the ladies of this city keep ! Kyiv ester-eve.” The/turned around, and be- | fore them stood a gentleman wholly 0 strange to . them. He had drawn back into the hall in j the meantime, and they followed him. j “First, let me apologize,” he said, with a po- j lite bow, and smiling at their consterna- ; tion, “for my untimely intrusion; but j arriving this night by the diligence, and being ! a stranger in this city, I asked one of the clerks ' at the post-office for some hotel, telling him ! that 1 was the future Director of the Institute, j and wished to see Dr. l’erclass very early to morrow- He told me that, at tins time of the 1 Evening, I would almost certainly find him at | the club-house, and described the way to it. I Hither through my own stupidity, or some ! r other cause, I missed my way; but., passing 1 this house, and seeing the door wide open, and a ray of light shining in the hall, I took it to be a hotel and entered. Thus it happened, ladies, that 1 was so unfortunate as to disturb you. I "" have - now nothing else left, but again to beg for'your forgiveness, and to recommence my wanderings.” “ Tibs 'is Dr. Perclass’s house,” said Wilhna, stepping forward, “ and I am Iris daughter. ~ The wind must have forced tlie door open; but we'thought it securely fastened. As for your ; apology, it is freely accepted. I regret that you got such a cold reception in the city which you ■ intend to make your home. However, you will find it very pleasant here, after a little while, for we are hospitable people.” “ 1-have no doubt of being cliarmed with the —place- to permit x we to count her amongst my friends. I wish you now good-night. I shall have the pleasure to wait upon your’ honored father to-morrow. “If you do not mind going back the way you came from,” said Wilhna again, “ arid will walk a little farther on, you will reach the club house, which is brightly lit up to-niglit.” “Thank you. Good-night.”, “ Good-night,” she said, shutting the door after her. “ You are sure to marry him, Willma,” cried ah.; “Did you ever sec anything so extraor dinary?” - Willma unfortunately marries Horst, her true-love Augustus is reduced to desperation, and all goes wrong.

This promise is ingeniously fulfilled by the writer, and the dose of; the. story is a bright one. Mrs. Slielton-Mackenzle has discovered con siderable powers of narrative and construction' in this tele, the main incidents of which are real.

Magazines. 7 Packard’s Monthly, upon whom the ordi nary forms of sensationalism have already palled, seeks reputation at the rebel’s mouth, that of the notorious E. A. Pollard. This writer commits himself to tlie cause of Im perialism in America, professing to believe that several of the revolutionary' orators, such as Hamilton, Adams, Jay,Knox,Ames and Gouy-. vemeur Morris, weie in favor of a monarchical form' of government for the emancipated colonies; he confesses, however, that he gets his opinion not so much ; from the speeches, writings, and other evidence left by those worthies, as from logical methods, or even theories" of general reasoning.” We think we' undenstand Mr. Pollard here; Mr. Pollard’s severe logic;and his theories of general reason ing, unincumbered by facts, have already led him to the deification of Jefferson Davis arid tlie leaders of mutiny. Packard's must lliave very strong i faith in tlie patience Of its readers to select Mr. Pollard and his theme as safely to be ventured on. The other contributors this month are Barnum on Tom Thumb, Celia Kellogg on Charles Keade, some one else on Emerson, and the like. These ‘‘interviewers’’ have' very.little to tell, with the exception of Phineas, who be comes slightly nauseous in parts of his epitba lamium (written in feaiful English), on Charles Stratton and “Minnie” Warren. The Nursery, we conscientiously consider, exhibits bettor juvenile matter than any child’s magazine in America, and better illus trations than any periodical of whatever kind amongst us. The August number has, among others, a fine engraving of the “Horse who could Pump,” and a good series illustrating “Laura at Newport.”—Shorey, 13 Washington street, Boston. [From th® “Ingham Papurn,” by Edward Evorett llalc. published by Fields, Osgood & Co.—The Meeting here described is the Northern District Orthodox, ot* Philadelphia, which Mr. Hale attended in FBIENDS’ MEETING. I had been to a Friends’ meeting before. But that \yas when I knew that a distinguished English Friend would be present. I went with a crowd of others, who went to hear him. We knew he would speak, or thought we knew; it, because the streets were placarded with an nouncements that he would he there. And we heard him. But this day—my only Sunday in Philadel phia for a long time—l wanted to go to a real, usual Friends’ meeting. And therefore we had gone without especial expectation to hear any one. I wish everybody could go to meet ing, always,as free from that sort of association. Here, at least, the Friends have the better of the rest of us Protestants. It was a beautiful Sunday,—most beautiful in May; and, in beautiful Philadelphia, “Moy” means May. Fortunately enough, we were very early at tlie meeting, so that the doors were not opened; and we walked once and again, as we waited for tlie service, around Franklin Square; in which the fountain was flashing in the sun, the grass and foliage green and fresh and bright as* fairy-land; and the crowds of people, men, women, and children, as cheerful, though as quiet as Sunday. And thence we walked on, and arrived a second time at tlie meeting-house, together with others, so that the gradual gathering showed that this was the right hour. One after another tlie Friends came, almost all stopping in tlie outer square, to bid each other good day, and to drink a little of that sparkling water from tlie call which is chained there.- As I sit I can see the little boys drag tlieir fathers aside to tlie liydrant, if they pass it without this draught; and then each sips a little, so that one would half fancy it was a preparatory rite; the hoys whisper a little, while tlieir fathers say “good day” to each ! other,and then all walk into tlie house together. ! Is it fancy or not, that they come in with a j more natural, unaffected air than worshipers ■ into temples of more pretension ? Is there a sort of formal pace for our carpeted aisles,—as if tlie organ voluntary, like a military tune, de ; manded a movement of its own ? I hardly know. Perhaps I never before looked thus at tlie different people scattering into ; church. I cannot help watching them here. Indeed, Ido not care to help it. These people all come in, reverently indeed, but not ; more reverently than they walk the streets j every day. At least, there is no sombre look [ on their faces. Every one is in. No! there is one of the world’s people creaking in at the end door. llow can lie shake that noise in the midst of this silence? Why could he not come in time? But now he is seated, —and tlie silence— No ! —there is another and another. But they sit nearer the door; lam glad of that. I hope no body will come in now. This silence,- —real silence, —while one lias the perfect conscious ness of communion, is refreshing, truly. I re member how utterly a lonely silence always impressed me. This is like it, but-I had rather be here than there. I sat in one of tlie long halls in the cave of .Schoharie. C. and tlie rest of them had gone by, and I had only my lamp for company. They were a quarter of a mile in advance, —and the world a quarter of a mile above me, and nothing but thick rock between. I remember the instant when I put out my lamp, that I might be quite alone. I was never ! less alone; —a familiar thing to say,—often said, —but how wonderfully felt when one feels . God with him, in the fearlessness, the trust,' tlie excited enthusiasm of one of those cave o r mountain solitudes! Great God!-whose les sons, whose liand-writiug, whose voices are like those of Thine? Wliat is that bird? O, lam in the Friends’ meeting! HoW they sing,—those clieer fullittle lellows on those branches which will swing to and fro across tlie open doorway! - One,-two, and then a third strikesrin,- tosliow that he can sing as well. They understand Sunday wonderfully well. Or, better, I sup pose they keep Sunday every day. There is no inconsistency between tlieir Sunday and their week-day lives., Sing away, little fellows; there are no better masses than those, to-day, j all round tli.e world! As the world turns to j day, there is sounding something, better than a 1 perpetual morning drum-beat. Tb-day,as laud' ■ after land flashes into the sun) tlibrp is a perpet ual morning prayer going up to'Qod, from that , Church which lie sees as one, though we sub divide it so. And every day, as the lands turn j to meet the sun, there is poured upwards this j chorus of praise, which does not know, per- I .haps, that it is praise,—and yet is perpetual,— has been, ever since Adam was. /An eternal 'hymn; of bird and beast, going ufcto tble' Gbd; oflifeh rGreat God!—how beautiful thfe World* 'is f.

For, thank God !if one power of our nature doe! grow Ss we grow older, it is this with which we so enjoy nature. ■Was ever anything before so beautiful to me.as the trees in Franklin Square to-day, and, that rich grass, and tlie willows hanging over the basin,—green fountains as they seemed,—and : the, bright sparkles, of the other fountains, —that delicate. : spray : —and the beautiful rainbow, when we walked ? round so as to catch the right light of the sun! Certainly, I never enjoyed anything in the world more. Why, the very - May-flower of last Tuesday, ‘ in Massachusetts, has made' me enjoy, Franklin Squine ,to-day! . Thank God that we do gain soj—that every spring, every walk, teaches Sterling’s lesson of the night: “As nightisdarkening o’er, Ana stars resume their tranquil day, ■ They show how Nature gives us more Than all she ever takes away.!” ; Why, there is the -dancing shadow of the branch on the wall yonder !. . Never, till this ; moment,'have I noticed such easy gracefulness of a movement in a shadow. It is on one side of the doorway. I do not see !the; branch itself. But here, of .course, I must not move. Iliad forgotten I was in meeting. Nobody has spoken yet. I do riot Wonder. : Why should they speak? * * * * How simply ar ranged everything liere Is I They carry their simplicity too far. Because they would be simple, tlieir house need not be ugly. That window would have answered the same pur pose. if it had been of agreeable proportions. How the eye seeks for something graceful,— nay, must have it! That is the reason that mine, so unconsciously, has been resting on that cord with which they pull up the curtain. They forgot to stretch that tight when they arranged the room. And so, of itself, as We blasphemonsly say, it has fallen into that graceful curve. It is tlie only graceful tiling inside the building on that side on which I am looking. It is the only thing which men have left alone. Curiously graceful that catenary curve in which it hangs! You cannot draw one by,your eye. Not the truest artist! And yet, the world over, there .is not a loose .cord but is hanging in that delicately graceful way. Why, even those that they stretch the tightest —that they say are jxrrfectly tight—really bend a little, a very little, ' and in this exquisite curve. The world over, they" are obeying the same law. And because it is' God’s law, that form, in which they fall obedient, pleases my eye, pleases every one who looks on it. The same here, there; and everywhere ; the same arrangement that makes Leverrier’s planet sweep around in an orbit of such con summate grace; the same makes this trough of the waves of such sweep as it is; the cord age of a ship so beautiful; yes, and that law has been strong enough to defeat this mis-j take of my Friends (they are Friends, though I never saw one of them) here in their meeting house. Strong enough for that? Why, yes. I remember,that men prove by the calculus, by its highest flight and best, —which is, as always in mathematics, the highest and best flight of poetry,—l remember that by the most elabo rate and recondite of calculation, they prove that, in fact, no human power, no finite power, can strain a cord that it shall be abso lutely straight; that it shall uothave something of tliis beautiful God-ordered curve. The highest power of man, liis best calculation, shows, like his weakest and his poorest, that God lias ruled all things in beauty, and that all man’s twitcliings and struggles are powerless, when they act against this eternal law. God of order! God of beauty! how can we thank Thee for such daily miracles? How can we learn—grow—to prize as we ought life and its wonders? strengthen us, Father! Strengthen us! that our free lives, also, may accord better and more often witli Thy Eternal Life; —that we may labor with Tliy laws, with Thy power, —Thou in us, and we in Thee! Some one spoke! No; it was the moving door which startled me. I hope it will not swing to. I must see still that shadow of the branch flitting to and fro on the outer wall there. What a handwriting it is! So graceful! and with every new motion so different from that before! beautiful and infinite, like all the rest! Must these inner walls around us be left so bare, and coldly white, and unoma mented ? Surely we should not be made more worldly if the memory of God’s love came to us from the inner as well as that outer wall of :, this house. And could it make us more worldly to see Him in tlie pure works of brave men,made strong by ills strength,than it does to see him in the shadow there, or the leaf, or the bough? If that dead white wall which is opposite me, beneath tlie little windows, and above the elders’ seats, bore some representation of one of the victories of God when lie works in the soul of man ? Suppose it were of the very be ginning of this gathering which is here to-day? The first day that William Penn, a gentlemanly, courtly, spirited young fellow, went with liis college companions to hear Thomas Loe, the Quaker itinerant, as they called him, preach in Oxford, —what a day was that for this Penn sylvama, for us here, nay, for the whole world! 1 can figure them out for myself on the large blank wall,—Loe preaching that which he re membered these college sprigs of nobility and gentility needed.' Plainly dressed ' he, hut nobly moved; feeling that the spirit is on him. I can see his face as it would lighten up, as he spoke to that crowd around him of won dering citizens, growing more and more cordial to him, and to that group of students, who have gone there to laugh, to ridicule, or, in one word, to “see fun.” Why, on the picture, even their laces should he growing grave, be neath his solemn spirited, gospel eloquence! And wliat ought to be tlie face of Penn ?,, At this moment he is receiving the influence which shall last through his life, —the preacher is fan ning into a flame the sparks which have always been in liis heart; and those words, that spirit of that man, are mastering him; arecompelling him to listen; are compelling him to obey; and from this moment forward, he will lie the true hearted, God-seeking friend of man! It is a moment to study expression. As lie leans on John Locke’s shoulder there, —ashelistenswitli more ardor' and more,—liis face must lighten with tlie most intense light. It is fervent de votion resting on grave thought. Penn, ardent and inoved, resting oil Locke,—thoughtful, but, perhaps rio less touched in liis own-way. What a pair these, to stand among these flaunting ' laughers, gay dressed and half listless, and those sober, undemonstrative citizens, in their! simpler, aspect, to be listening to such a preacher as Thomas Loe! What a triumph of the true, sincere spirit oif Lae,' if he could have only known what should come from that! irio mentl; Penn did stand by his death-bed,remem ber, a few years after, and the dying saint knew then that here was a young man all ready to go - forward-in-his own work. But he-couldmot* know,that that young man should be the be-, ginning of a nation; the visible symbol to all time, of the uselessness of war, whose name should be synonymous with peace; and he did got know—who does know?—how far that day’s 'preaching rested on Locke’s conscience, and made him tlie true man lie was. Uncon scious genius ! how brave is this working in ■ faith when there is no sight!—this preaching to those who seem scoffers, perhaps,—who are the . regenerators of the world! It is God’s work ■ again. Foiith,’ 1 noble faith,—so much more noble than knowledge—like all i things noble, it leads us up to Him • of whom it. tells us I Father! let it do • more; as it brings us up to Tlioc, let it inspirit I us also, and make ns also alive, that, though .■w&see j)olhlsg' of <he . may staib fqwyer bow seed; thopg%the thunders are above ns, and cloups ;arid!the dsrksida&sve l tnay'SUU ‘-seatter.it (m the fleld;bnd r itself, and these very storms which overwhelm ns, give it life arid strength; that, though long after we have left our work, it shall still spring up, and yield abundantly! .

I should be glad to he reminded oftener of these ! bravg/men,'God’s true children; and, by their deeds, of their Father.

Faith like hers should be mounted on the danger of victory; yes, and it should be clothed with that helmet. and, breastplate, that heavenly armor, of which: Paul ’tells. - How natural to represent that Spirit ,in lier form, —and around her the group of soldiers; wondering, fearing— I forget myself!Jane of Orleans must not be in a Friend’s meeting-house. Some one else must he painted on that panel. Mrs. Fry, perhaps, in a prison ? Or some Quaker mother here among the -Indians ?- Or some of the sufferers among the English, or New English,?— the martyrdom of a later saint ? No, not that; we will not preserve the memory of the perse cutions. That shall die, as other old forms die, and old languages, when men have done with them. But the true spirit of all these— that must be preserved. That spirit of per petual confidence—unshrinkiug faith in the • secret conscience call of God—that is im mortal. The picture shall show that! Hark! some t one speaks., It is one of the elders beneath the narrow windows. “They who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. lam glad, ray friends, that there is still a company of those who are willing to wait upon the Lord, although in silence, knowing that He will renew their strength. I am glad-, that in this time, when there are so many voices, and so many men who oppose Him and His people, there is still a company of those who are willing to meet, as their fathers did, and wait for the influence of His Spirit. When all philosophy tells 1 us that even of dead matter there is ho end,—that its atoms separ. rate hut to unite in other forms, and never perish,—how can it be that the spirit, which gives all its life to matter, shall end, or be of no worth or of no account? And how can we forget to seek the Eternal Spirit; the Spirit of spirits?—to wait for it in prayer, arid in com munion, that it may inspirit our lives ?” How can we, indeed?—how can we? I hope he will say nothing more! No! he hassat down. How can we go through the world as if it were a dead world, a giant corpse; and talk of dead philosophies as if we were dissecting it, and studying the anatomy of it as it would be if there were no Spirit to give order and law? How can we do this, and talk of tills and think of this forever ? And that God is so near us, speak ing to us, if we will only hear; calling us, if we will orily listen; His spirit knocking, if we will only receive it; every pulse, every fibre of this corpse, as I called it, alive; and alive because it is His will! God of life! now, at least, I do remember Thee; now,at least, Ido seek Thee! O, seek me, Father, when I am dead, or sleep ing! seek me in the living voices of truth and love, that I may wake again, and live again, in Christ’s life, —ib Thy life,—in the life which tliy goodness has made eternal! There is a woman speaking ! “They, that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings of eagles; they shall run and not—be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” She says nothing more. But what an answer is here to prayer! Before it is Offered, before it has con ceived itself, God has promised thus to hear it and to bless it. God finds ris thus the moment that we seek Him. He is with us when we try to be with Him. O God! direct my wandering thought To centre upon Thee; Direct my eyes to look through aught, Till Thee, their God, they see! In every leaf of every tree, In all the world around, My wandering eye has looked,—till Thee, The God of love, it found. ' In every work where labors man, With true or selfish mood, My wandering thought finds God sustain, And crown each toil for good; My wandering thought finds all in vain The toil which turns from God. Praise God, for wandering eyes His world of love to see 1 Praise God, for thought which wanders al ways free! Praise. God, for faith which bends a willing knee, Draws me to Him, the while He smiles on me. All 1 One of the eldors is standing up! See 1 he shakes hands with another.

IFrom tb» Germantown Telegraph.! Indian Rock, Chestnut Hill. Ou tlxe easterly side of the Wissahickou creek, nearly opposite the Indian Rock Hotel, may he seen the figure of an Indian chief stand ing'upona high rock, which commands a view of the surrounding country for several miles. This rock is very picturesque, having a recess in its perpendicular front, in the centre of which Mature has fonned a stone structure not unlike a pulpit. Tw o veuerable ladies of this vicinity, but re cently' deceased, have stated as having heard from their parents, who lived near by, that this Indian Rock and Indian Hill were considered a revered and hallowed place by King Tedy uscungand his band of Lenni-Lenape Indians, who often frequented this spot when making visits to Philadelphia; his last visit being made about 1150. ! Tedyuscung is described as being a tall; portly chieftain, proud of his position, an earnest talker about his State and domestic affairs, and: sometimes only too willing to par take freely of the pernicious “fire-water.” Governor Dickinson used to relate that he once attended a treaty where Tedyuscung was a negotiator. He there made an ill-timed speech when excited by drink, and it being observed by his squaw, she was heard to speak to him in the most modest and silvery tones of the Indian tongue, so that the melody of her voice enchanted every ear." Several of. the by standers were impelled Jo ask him what she was saying, tvlieiJ he roughly answered : “Ho! she is nothing but a poor, weak woman! She has just told me that it was unworthy the repu tation of a great king like me to show myself drunk before the Council of the Nation.” ... Tedyuscung appears to have been a man of mark from the time of Braddoek’s defeat, in 1755, so that when the treaty at Easton, in 1750, gathered many Indians ‘at* that place, he became there an important and conspicuous personage, chiofly, however, by his ofliciousriess and claims. In truth they found him and his people rather troublesome neighbors at places in and about Montgomery and Bucks, and the Colonial Authorities, in concert with the Mo ravians, who claimed liis • tribe •as converts, agreed to settle liim and them at Wyoming at the public expense. This measure was effected in 1758, and soon after his house took fire arid the chief was consumed.' The figure of the Indian chief , standing on the rock was placed in its present position by the residents of the neighborhood on the 18th of July, 1850; in commemoration of Tedytts cungV last visit to this spot, which; happened just one hundred years before. It. was drawn and, colored by William E.

A Medicine ManottheJresrro pemusion. Yesterday aitemdohjnear the fwt.-off Lass street; a negro who had a ves?t sel disrobed himself and proceeded - to«taka.. a; swim under the dock. After disporting for a while, a strange mark on his left breast caught the eye of some idlers, and as., be.came ’out to don his garments, an investigation revealed a curious freak of dame Nature.—While the rest of the body was coal black a spot just "oyer the lu;art was aperfect imitation of ft stliall hand,and the finger and thumb, which were: delineated very distinctly, were as white as the skin of any Caucasian, . The palm’ of the hand was there, four, fingers, Spread, apart, tlie . thumb partially bent down—iii 'fafet, just : as if a ’child of six or eight bad laid a hand on the, dark skin and burned its impress into the flesh. During the conversation which ensued, the man stated that the mark was one of distinction; that Providence bad placed it there as a sign that he would be agreatdocter andsphit inedium, and perform wonderful charms and cures. Around liis neck was an 011-skin bag, holding perhaps lialf a pint, and in this, he stated, were charms that would keep away evil .spirits; and .protect him from sickness and aeatli. He refused to let his questioners see the charms, but allowed them to handle the sack, the contents of which felt like glass, nails, pebbles, 4 &c. The negro was, lie said, a great “fetish man” among lii-s race in Buffalo, v If anything ailed one of them lie could produce a cure by letting them hold tlie bag in their hands, If they lost any pro perty, lie slept with the. bag under: his pillow for tliree nights in succession, and on the tliird night he was sure to dream just who took the property, ifitliadbeenstelen,ahdwhere\it then was if it had been lost. He said he could detect a man who wanted to steal, by just “getting his eyes on him so-—,” and lie crossed liis huge optics and squinted over the crowd in a way that made an old peanut woman drop her basket from fright. Whether- or not he opserved any would-be thieves among the spectators did not transpire, as the “fetish man” felt compelled to go aboard his vessel just then. How the singular-mark'came on his breast he could not tell; it was there when lie could first remember, By touching the white skin of the finger imprints, one could see a red spot appear after the touch, and see, almost in the delicate vein which traced through them, the blood passing back and forth. Another curious feature, and one more difficult of explanation, was the statement of the man that, whenever •he caught cold, the fingers twitched and clenched, as it were, causing him intense pain. —Detroit Paper.' , CbarlcsEeadant Home. Charles Reade ayeids- What is called “so ciety,” nevertheless, four or five guests are al ways to be found at Iris genial table. They are, usually, people remarkable in some way or other —in letters, science or the mimic art. Genuine talent invariably meets with a cheer ing word from him. One. evening he was persuaded to seat him self at the flower-shaded piano, and he burst forth into the plaintive, quaint old English ballad that Griffith Gaunt forced Mercy Vint to sing—“ The Song that’ Won the Jealous Heart.” The following anecdote has, I think, been told before; but it will bear •to be - repeated, if only to show Charies Reade's love of America, even in small things: He had invited a few friends to dine, but was prevented returning home until his guests had assembled. Some weeks prior to this he had requested an American friend to send him some bay rum, which arrived at the dinner hour. The words ‘‘Bay Rum” on the_ cuse made his guests inquisitive; 4 and a’ relative of tlie authhr, supposing it was some new liquor which the absent host had ordered for that very dinner party, had the box opened, and they all tossed oft a modicum of bay rum! At this stage of the proceedings the missing man appeared, heard the story, and quietly.deter mined to note the effects of bay rum as a beverage. It did not suit the general palate, and disapprobation' was expressed. They liked brandy smash, sherry cobbler, miut julep; but this was—“really—you know—quite nausty!” : )i. ■ \ : - ! Hereupon Charles Reade revealed the secret, and the .disgust, on learning they had been drinking hair-wash, or scent, or anything but rum, was only equalled by their misgivings as to poison. In Society or at home Charles Reade is always tlie same; Iris manners are a happy blending of .aflability , and dignity, mid calcu lated to put strangers at their ease with him. He possesses in an unusual degree, erudition without pedantry, wit without sarcasm, candor without bitterness, kindness without weak ness-refinement,’ modesty and simplicity. Even while enchanted with his numberless mental gifts, qne almost forgets the . distin guished author in admiration of his high quali ties as a “good man.”— PackarcCs Monthly.

The analysis proves that tho waters of-tho Saratoga Star Springs have a muoh larger amount of solid shbstahce, riohor In medical ingredients thaii any other spring In Saratoaa, and shows what the taste indicates—namely, that it Is the STRONGEST WATER. " It also demonstrates that tbe STAR! WATER contains about rv-v 100 Cnbic Incties More or Gas In a gallon than any other spring. It'is this extra amount of gas that imparts to this water its peculiarly > v.ory agrooablo_ to the tasto; It hlao tends to preserve the delicious flavor of the water when bottled, and causes it to uncork with on effervescence almost e<*ual to Champagne. , Sold by the lading Druggists arid Hotels through wttJiecountiy. : \ • -/' f ' JOHN WYETH & BKO., 1412 Walnut Street, I*lillada, Wholesale Agents.
