'* ‘'Tim‘lfappy ' Boy’ 7 ' TsT a 'ybung Norway peasant, to whom the world, seems a pastoral , Jkdream, until lib is nidelyawakened io his po ll, eition in it by finding obstacles in the way of V his love for a girt above hini ih station. ;Jliere is a priceless episode, the story of the school * master, told with Bjiirnsen’s most exquisite •i subtlety- Everywhere there afe'the'Shadowy, frost,likoplacelike, inimitable pictures of N„or- Way-scencry, and the filmy tracings of northern character. We extract a childish scene, but iftti invaluable one, of a Cotdirraation held in a ,l village'parsonage in Norway, among the pro tege!) of the eccentric-dominie : , THE.CONI IJiMATIO.X OK OHVVINH. 4 Haifa year after, in the following autumn •(Confirmation had been postponed mitihthen), the children who had been preparing for the ceremony) were sitting in the servants’ hall at tlie parsonage,, awaiting their examination: among them Oevvind, I'ladsen and Marit Heidefarms. - 3larit had just come down front, the minister, who had given her a beautiful hook' ami much commendation: she Was laughing and talking with her friends on all sides, and east a glance round among the lioys. Marit was now a full-grown girl, easy and uu- constrained i» lier manners; and tlie boys as • well as tlie girls knew that the richest fellow* in the parish, John Uaden, was courting her; she •might indeed be happy, as she sat. there. Down bv the door stood some girls and boys, who had not been accepted : they wore crying, while Jlarit and her friends laughed ; amongst them was'alittle boy in bis father’s boots and his mother’s Sunday kerchief. “Oh dear, oh dear!” sobbed he dare, to go home again." Those w ho had not yet been called up, were seized with a powerful feeling of sympathy; there was a' general silence. Anxiety choked boll) throat and eyes: they could not see dis tinctly, nor could they swallow, of which there was a constant necessity. One sal and reckoned over how much he knew: and, although some hours before he bad ■ found out that he knew everything, he now ascertained, with the same degree of cer tainty, that be knew nothing, not even how to read from the book. Another made out a list of his sins, from as far back as he could remember, up to the lime he was sitting here; and lie did not th-ink*it was at all to be wondered at, if the Lord allowed him to be set aside. A third sat and sought to gathep,omens from : everything about him: if the clock, which was just going to strike, did not strike before he got to then he would pass; if the one he heard in .the entry turned out to be tlie stable boy-Lars, then lie would pass; if the big rain drop which was traveling: down the window reached the bottom of the pane, then he would pass. The -last and decisive test should be, .whether he got the right foot twisted round tlie left; and this was quite impossible for him. A,fourth felt convinced' in his own mind, that if he were only questioned about Joseph in Bible history, and Baptism in the Catechism, or about Saul, or on the Domestic Duties, or about Jesus, or on the Commandments, or ; he still sat enumerating, when he was called up. A fifth.had conceived a particular affection for the Sermon on the Mount.; lie had dreamt about the. Sermon on the Mount; he was sure he would he questioned on the Sermon on the Mount ; and he gabbled over to himself the Seimon on the Mount; die had to go outdoor* to read over tlie Seimoil on tlie Mount, when he was called up to be questioned on the great and small Vropiiets. The sixtb.ilionght of the minister, who was such a holy man, and knew his father so well; lie thought, too, of tlio schoolmaster who had such a kind face, arid of Cod, who was full of tender mercy, and had helped many before, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, .and Joseph; and then he thought, how his mother, 'brothers, and sisters were sitting at home praying for him, -which certainly must help. The seventh .sat and renounced all lie had thought of becoming iu this world. Once be bad thought of pushing it as far as king, once to general or n\iiiistcr; now that time was passed. But, up to the very moment of com ing here, he had thought of going to sea, and becoming captain) perhaps pirate, and gaining enormous lidies in trade ; now lie gave up, first, tlie riches, then tlie pirate, then tlie cap tain, mate, he stopped at sailor, at the utmost boatswain; yes, it was even-possible that he would not go to sea at all, but. find some occu pation oil his father’s farm. The eighth'felt more confident of his case, hut still nokquite certain, for even the cleverest, was not certain. lie thought of the clothes in which he was to be confirmed, what they should be used for if lie were not accepted; but if lie got'through, lie was going to town to get a cloth suit., ami come -home again, and-.dance - at Christmas, to the envy of all tlie boys, and amazement of all the girls. • Tlie ninth reckoned in another Way; he, made out a little account-book with the Lord, in which he set down on one sid6 “ Debit,” l ie shall let me pass;.and on the other side, as Credit,” then I will never tell any more lies,- never slander, go to church' regularly, let tlie' girls alone, and give up swearing. But the tenth thought that if Ole Hansen had been accepted last year, it was more than injustice if they did not take him this year, who had always been better at school, and was besides of better family. By his side sat the eleventh, who was medi tating the most fearful plans of vengeance in , ease of being set aside, either to burn down the school-house, or to run away from tlie parish, and return as the avenging judge qf the minister . and whole school committee, but ; magnanimously allow mercy to usurp the place of justice. As a beginning, he would get a situation in tlie bouse of tlie minister of the 1 neighboring - parish', 1 .and next ’ year' stand Number tOtie there, and answer so that the whole parish would be astonished. Bat the twelfth sat by himself under the clock, with both hands in his pockets, and looked mournfully "over the assembly. No one here knew what a burden lie bore, in what a. responsibility he stood. At.home, there was one who knew ; for he was.engaged. -A large, long-legged spider crawled across tlie floor, and approached his,foot; he generally trod on the disgusting insect; hut to-day he "lifted his foot tenderly, that, it might go where it liked in peace. His voice was gentle as a prayer, his eyes said constantly that all .men were good, his hands made*-'humble movement ont ot Ids jidckels up to his hair, to stroke itdown flatter. If he could only creep gently through this dan gerous needle’s eye, ha would take care to grow out again on the other side, gliew tobacco, .and announce Iris engagement. Down on a low footstool, with Iris legs up .under him, the restless thirteenth was sitting.; bis small, flashing eyes darted round the room three times in a second; and through his violent, stubborn head whirled in motley con tusion the thoughts of all thc twelve, from the mightiest hope to the most crushing doubt., from the humblest resolutions to the-most de structive plans of vengeance against the whole, paiish.; and in the mean lime Ire had eaten up all the loose flesh on his right Minmb, and was now, occupied with his nails, sending great pieces across the floor. Oeyvind sat over by tlie window; lie had been up, and answered everything which was asked him ; but the minister had not said any thing, ‘il'or the schoolmaster cither.. For more fhpii half a year he had thought of whatthey , w ould both SiiyjwhcUtliey found out how hard hehadworked; and how lie,felt much.tUsap jjointod as well'ia mortified. There sat Mailt, who, t<)u far legs’exertion and acquirements, Jad received fbbfh, Jficouragement .and„rc», ward tt Hi w its hist' jo stand hssr in lietteios; he had ivSiked ;%hd how shp:w‘nn;' J atntli;i*;Vlmr, he had toiled to attain with so mueh self denial. Her laughter and joking burned into his sou): the freedom 'with which.she moved about pained him deeply. He had carefully avoided speaking to her since that ovonirig; years should pass, he thought: hut the sight of her sitting there, so happy and superior, weighed'him to the grouild, and all his proud resolutions drooped like wet leaves. He endeavored, however, gradually to shake off these feelipgsl All dependcd'on whether lie got Number One that this he ex pected. The schoolmaster generally remained ■a little later with tlie lninistcD.tUavratige the children’s marks, and afterwards he .came down and .told them the result; it was not the final decision, but only what he and the minister had agreed on for the present.. The conversa tion in ilie room became livelier, after every one who was; examined had been afedepfed; but now the .iiiibitious ones began to divide themselves oil'from the happy ones. The latter left, as soon as they found some quetp go with, to communicate their success, to their parents, pr stood waiting for others, who were not yet ieady: the former, on tlie contrary, grow more find more quiet, and their eyes were anxiously fixed on the door. , At length, the children had all (inislio?!;, tlie last- bad come down, and the schoolmaster Was talking with the minister. Oeyvind looked,at Marit;,ahc was its happy as before, but, still re-, mainod sitting, waiting either for some one else or for her owl) pleasure, he did not know which, Mow beautiful' Marit had grown! Jler daz zling complexion Was like none, he had ever seen beibie: ,her nose was a little turned up; her mouth, half-smiling, Jler eybs were half closed,-tmlttfs she looked directly .at' some oue; blit, then.'her glance' always seemed unex pectedly tender, when it did coihef-and as if she herself would add that she meaut nothing by it: at. this moment she smiled a little. Her hair was rather dark than light; hut it Was wavy, and cauie forwards on both sides, which, taken together with her half-shut eyes, gavg a hidden expression to her face, not. easily un derstood. ..One could not lie quite sure whom she was looking for when she was sittingamong others, nor exactly what she was thinking of when she happened to turn round and speak to anybody: for she seemed to take back again directly what slip gave. Under all that. John Hatlen must he hidden, thought Oeyvind, hut still kept ou looking at her. A'ow the schoolmaster came. All 'eft tjieir places and stormed about him:— •■What number have I?" •• 1 ?"—I ?** I don't “Hush! yon' • great, over-grown boys; no disturbance here. Be quiet now, and you shall hear, childien.” lie looked slowly round : ■‘You are number 2,’’ said he to a boy with blue eyes, who was looking beseechingly at him; and the boy danced out of the circle. •‘You are number si,” he rapped a red-haired, brisk little fellow, who was pulling his coat. “ You are number 5 ; you, number S,” &c. lle.caught sight of Alarit: “You. are number lof the girls." She turned scarlet over her face and neck, but tried to smile. “You, number J 2, have been lazy, you rogue, ami a great mischief-maker. You, number 11; we could not expect to have it better, little boy. You, number Id, must study bard, and come to tlio, last examination, or it will turn out badly for you !" Ocyvimi could 'nor bear it any longer; number 1 had certainly not been mentioned ; hut he had been standing the whole time, so that the schoolmaster would see .hit*. •• Schoolmaster 1" He did not hear. “ School master!" Three timCk he had to repeat it, be fore he was heard. At last, the schoolmaster looked at him : 1 “Number !) or 10, don’t, remember'-exactly which,” said he, and turned round to'another. “ Who is number 1 then?” asked Hans, who was Oeyvind's best friend. “It, is not you, curly-head,” said the.school master. rapping him over the hand'with a roll of paper. “ Who is it, thenasked several. “ Who is it'. 1 yes: who is itV” “That lie will lmow who gets the number,” answered tlie schoolmaster, severely; he would not have any more questions. “Go home now quietly, children .: be thankful to God, and.re joice jour parents’ hearts 1 • Thank youf-lbld schoolmaster,too ; you would have beep nigely left in the lurch if if hadn't becn'fdr him’!” ' '• 'i lay thanked, him, laughed, aiid departed merrily ; for. now, that, they were going home to their parents, they all felt happy. Only one was left, who could not find his books directly; and who, after he had found . them, sat down, as if ire’were going to begin studying again. 'J lie schoolmaster went over to him:— “ Now, * leyviud, are you not going with the others-?” lie did not answer. “Why do you open your hooks.”’ “ I was going to see what I had answered wrong to-day.” 1 “I do not think you have answered any thing wrong.” , Then..Oeyvind. looked, at him. Tears filled liis eyes; lie still continued looking at him, while they coursed down liis checks, one by oiie; hut lie did not say a word. The school master sat down in front of him : “Are you not glad that, it is all liappily over?” His.lips trembled, but he. did not answer. “ Your mother and father will be, very glad,” said tlie schoolmaster, looking at, iiim. - Oeyvhul struggled awhile to speak. At length, lie inquired, in a low voice, hesitating as he spoke:— “is it—because I—am a workman’s son— that.'! stand number !) or 10?” . “Probably that- is the reason,” answered 1 tlie schoolmaster. “Then it does no good for,me to work,” said he, drearily; and all his dreams.vanished away. Suddenly lie raised liis head, lifted his right hand, and bringing it down on the table with all his might., burst into violent sobs. Tlie schoolmaster let him lie there and weep as long as he would. It lasted a long time; hut the schoolmaster waited until tlie sobs grew more childlike.' Then taking ills head in both hands, lie raised it up, and gazed into the tear-stained face : “Ho you think it is God who has been with you now 2” said lie, drawing tlie boy up to him. Oeyvind still sobbed, but less violently. The tears flowing more slowly ; but lie dared neither look at. him who asked,nor apswer. - ;i ~ ■ “This, Oeyvind, is a merited-p'ecpmpensv. You have not studied from affection . tbt: your religion or your parents; you have studied from vanity.” There was silence in the room after cvervr thing tlie schoolmaster said. Oeyvind felt liis ■glance jesting.on him,and he grew milder and humble .under it. ‘ “With such anger in your heart, you could not have come forward, to make a covenant with God; would you, Oeyvind?” “No,” he stammered, as well as lie could. “ Ami if you stood them with vain joy at .being number 1, would you not stand there with a sin?” “ Yes,” lie whispered;• and his lips trembled. “ You still love ine:Oeyvind?!’ • “Yes;” and lie looked up for the first time. “Then 1 will tell you that it. was 1 who.had you put down; for 1 foGT .you- si) Jimifih, Oeyvind.” ' , T ; , 'i lie other looked at him, winked 'Several times, and the tears coursed rapidly down. “ Ydn are not angry with me for that ?” , “No:” lie looked up full in his face, and then burst out crying. ' “My dear child, I will stay by you as long as I five.” IJe wailed for him until lie ha,d collected his books ami was ready, and sajd ht, strug-y Wing with himself. my • ''■ I “ y*sS, jiqw we-sliall think pf, accomplishing" , t< l inefhiiigwlife,”6aid the seljottlittixster; ?*'and' •tint ringing alter 'shadow|J-;and' numbered' .

One imagines.for a moment that jils wholo future will be like waiideriug in I'reSh mountain air, where one seems rjither to beibofne along than to walk. And yet, the burden fell bn him again, as they came In sight of the house at Pladsen. -n Both his parents were iti the room, and had bein' sitting there in quiet expectation; although' it ivaS during the hours for labor, and at a busy time.. Tliq schoolmaster.entered first; .Oeyvind followed. • '■ . .... .. ....... ' “ Now!” ■ said' liis father, laying-; aside a psalm-book, in which lie had just been reading fi “Prayer fora Catechumen.” ■ His mother stood by the chimney-corner, hot daring to say anything. She iatiglied, but tier h'aqd was unsteady; apparently, she Was expecting something agreeable,-but (lid not wish to betray it. •‘I only wanted to come to gladden you with the news that lie answered every question which was put him; and 1 the minister said, after Oeyvind had gone, that lie has not'had a cleverer pupil.”-: ' “Oh, really!” said his mother, much affected'. “Well, that was right,” said liis lathery and cleared his throat uneasily. After .a long silence, hi's mother asked, softly;— - ■ ■ “What number will he have?” “Number oor 10,” said the schoolmaster,' .quietly. . , His mother lo'oked at her husband,—be, first at her, then at Oeyvind. '< “A workman’s son camiot expect more,” said lie, in a low voice. peyvind looked at him again. It seemed as if there were something rising up in his throat again; but he keptit'down by thinking of kind tilings, one atyer another, until he had regained ills self-control! • \ “Now I liad better go,” said the school master ; nodded, and turned towards the door. lloth the parents followed him odt on to tlie doorstep. Here, the schoolmaster took a qiud of tobacco, and said, smiling,— “He will be number 1, all the same; but it. is not worth while for him to know anything about it, before the day comes.” “No, n<»,” said bis father, nodding assent. “No, no,” said liis mother, also nodding. Then she took tlie schoolmaster by ’the baud: “We owe you many thanks for all you do for him,” said she. •■Yes: we owe you thanks,” said liis father, “ph! I have thanks enough in mvseif,” answered tlie schoolmaster; “for the fact is, I love him!” He nodded and went away; hut tlic-y stood along time, gazing after him. I'HILAhEU'IIIA UlllHAlt V ENTER PRISE, A Great FnbliHlilnK House—What It , Has Hone—How It Has Achieved Greatness. It is always interesting to investigate the doings of those enormous, enterprises which go on almost silently amongst us because they are self-supporting and depend but partially upon publicity for their success. One of the very large publishing concerns of the world lias heretofore been very far from tlie best known, owing to a sort of modesty which lias separated it from the clamors, of tlie lesser houses, whose life depends on the . noise . they make. A correspondent of the A Tew York Evenhuj Mail, under date of November; “2, furnishes this interesting account of,;.an| exploration among the groaning tables and shelves and bursting cellars of Messrs. Lippiueott & Com pany’s gigantic establishment: Tile citizens have been complaining sadly of late about a, wretched Fall trade, short sales, great stagnation in business.' , Tlie carpet weavers are a numerous class here, ami they will tell you that nothing is being done, that hands are idle, employers at their wits’ end; and flour dealers are even noisier over the de cline in tlie cost of the stalT of life.

Sofar backas 1834, tiro freight shipments readied the dumber of 1,008 large boxes, While in 18(18 they ahiountcd to 111,201 boxes, ah increase of 870 over the pre vious year; and this-'year, now at its- cloSepre- ■ Cords an advance’far beyond thei foWnbf’expa riehcc Of .other yeafs.' ’ That there, ig no exag geration 1 in this description will be cyideut by the fact that these large shipments roach, over, twenty States of. the Union every day- V Of course these enormous; sales includo all that is disposed of - in : the publishing depart ment, the ordinary bookselling, home and for eien, as well as stationery. In .the ’ matter of publishing this firm has.issued pearly 'two. hup-. . died new volumes during the year, while the business of the greatest works goes .steadily on; Of these larger works yaar readers may > have some idea if Chambers's “ Encyclopiedia,” in ten royal Bvo volumes, with atla9, bo men tioned, the production of which involved an outlay of $lOO,OOO. Lippincolt’s “ Pronoun cing Gazetteer” alone cost $50,000; while Prescott’s works are in fifteen volumes,' 8vo; anti besides these tire Irving's works, several; editions of the Waveriey novels, two of Btilwer, forty-four and twenty-two volumes each; Thackeray’s wprlfs, twenty-two volumes, to gether with Imperial Bibles, Bagst.er’s Bibles, anii Bibles of the most gorgeous size and beauty of type and paper for the pulpit. A new work now on hand, on Universal Biography, by Dr. J. ThOmas, will absorb at least $50,00(1, and the two. concluding volumes of Alibono’s “ Dictionary of Authors”will re quire some $20,000 to bring them out. Indeed a walk through the cellars of this house among the stereotype plates is one of the most in teresting exhibitions- in connection with mod ern literature. . Here is a little pile; of wooden boxes. What is this ? Why, that' is such a work, costing $20,000..' And this? Well, that, is so and so, costing $lO,OOO. And this ? Well, that is Dr. so and so’s work that cost $25,000, and so the tale goes on until'more than. $500,000 worth of plates are examined, and the w onder grows bow such stuns can be had, how any house can' stand such an outlay, how. any foresight can tell that such ventures may safely be made, and bow decided is the evidence of story upon story of the great emporium rising aloft, and filled with the taste and the learning of two continents, that shows the ma3tcry of the minds that have ruled and made this house' what it is. The w;orkof the firm is divided between two places.

DELAWARE RATTERS. Tlie Pillory nnd Wtilpplne Post-—Of lier Excitement* Olive Lopui—Tnde— BMlog News, dee., Ac. . ■ Correspondence of the Philadelphia Ermine Bulletin-1 Wilmington, Nov. 25.—The melancholy tlays of the year have coine for the select few who love both Delaware and decency. Last Saturday, as I see your readers have already been informed by telegraph, the autumnal whippiugs commenced at New Castle. News paper men being scarce, they were probably ;a little more severe than usual. Ido not care to dwell upon so disgustingja subject, and only allude to it to say that there were gratifying indications of an improved public sentiment on this subject, and I think the days of the barbarism are numbered.. To the Bulletin-, more than to any other paper published outside the State,is due the credit for bringing about this change, in public opinion. This innch, at least, has been accomplished,—professing Christians no longer seek opportunities to proclaim their approval of the pillory and the post. We have been having quite a number of sensations in criminal matters. The ttfal ’ and conviction of the murderer Goldsborougb, at Georgetown, and his ‘ subsequent escape from jail, have produced great excitement in tlie lower part of the. Ktate. Very few people think there is any probability of his recapture. He is a nephew of Admiral Goldsborougb, and lias very many wealthy relatives, and it is sup posed by many that he will receiye, of has re ceived,^material assistance. - Following close upon the heels of this ex citement comes tho suicide of an old man named Edward W. Faulkner (not Fortner, :ls was at tirst reported), in jail at New Castle, where he was awaiting his trial on a charge of arson. He was a man of ' intemperate habits, and,.it is was laboring under an attack of iWfriiim tremem at ■ the time he killed himself. The charge against him was not at alllikely to be sustained, as the evidence was very Vague and inconclusive. Tlie Court at New Castle has been occupied with civil cases all this week, and it is not probable that there will be any tvhipping j next Saturday. Criminal business will, •ji .however, be resumed next week, and ! on the following Saturday it is probable that a number of other victims will be led to the post. The trial of some colored men, on in dictments for rape, will commence next Mon day. At tlie preliminary examination; the evidence against one of them sefenjed over whelming. The punishment of the offence is death, and where sentence is onee' pro nounced, the law is usually allowed to take its course, Executive clemency being seldom in terposed. Business is rather dull here and money is scarce. Real estate is particularly dull, and wherever property has been forced upon the market it has been sold at unusually low prices. An improvement in prices'is expected after tlie completion of the new Wilmington and Reading Railroad, work pn which is pro gressing rapidly. Tlie road will be opened to travel from here to Coatesville,‘in Chester county, before Christinas. Hop, a celebrated, trotting-liorse, owned by one of the Cochrans, at Middletown,has been sold to B. Dobie, of your city,, for $5,000. Much regret is expressed in sporting dfoles that Delaware is to lose him, and had it been known that $5,000 would jbuy him he would not have been allowed to leave the State. We recently had Lucy Stone and other prominent advocates of woman suffrage here, andthev addressed a very large meeting in Institute Hall. They were very well received;' and their remarks seem, to have produced a ' muelistrbnKer impression than is usually made by, a single public meeting. A Delaware Woman Suffrage Association has been formed, and it has sent delegates to tho National Con vention now ihsession at Cleveland; Ohio. Olive Logan lectured here last week to a very large and fashionable audience, and her woman suffrage sentiments were vigorously applauded. 1 learn that she rode over to Now. Castle ami took a look at tho whipping post ami visited the county prison. While in the latter iustitntiou she itolivercAan impromptu lecture to a number of abandoned women, sent there as vagrants* which, I.am told, ; affected some of them to tears. Senator Sum- i ner delivers life lecture on C«s(e here on Mon- 1 day evening. • . -.- I An effort is now being made to largely in- | erease llie police force of tliiseirv. but 1 shall i lu4*eitcr able to tell you about it at'another I lime. , Dali:.. 1 THE ' EATB ANDREA—A. A 'powerfully-written sketch of “Cardinal '; d’Anilren,by his Secretary,” is perhaps the most noticeable feature of the Galaxy of December:* Theavriter civjes a tragic turn to his,-narrative; with the following dark and mysterious conclu-; eion: ■ - - The Cardinal’s adherents among the “Young!, Rome” party Were constantly on the alert, bus-* jpecting yiofenqe. Buthlsenemies were-, fat (too; wSry roresOrt to open acts. They remained/So; quiet that, all suspicion was lulled to rest,except; in the Cardinal and his secretary. It Is remarka ble that wd sometimes find An idea aart Bud-; denly into the mind, seemingly without causoj or ramification. We reason against the enforced; conclusions, it entails, but it doggedly ad-;' heres to jus until .wo are forced to attend to it. i This Was tlie case with the secretary'* probably ; also with the Cardinal. The idea took this: shape:—“The favorite -mode of obtaining! secret information ~inUome-iS;byfeaveadrop-: ping and espionage: nThis palace has been, for: two moutbs at the bidding of those who knew the Cardinal would return ,to it, They are; anxious to know all he says and does; if pop-; sible, all bethinks., They wijl study thb reve-; iations 'of liis countenance in monients of; abandon. And if they have designs”—here the idea seemed going into extravagance, ’ Yeti the very next day after I'had resolved these; floating; thoughts into fixed shape, 'I Was sitting at breakfast witii the Cardinal, when he suddenly dropped his cup*of chocolate,; and rising, went to a picture and carefully ; examined : it. On bis return to; the; table I exclaimed: “,Your emiuence.is thinking. of: Sir Walter Scott, but it was surely Imprudent \ to reveal tlie suspicion,’’ t He replied: “Merely , a fancy.” We looked at each other, and ,1 felt the same idea pass through his mind. ,We were literally “eating our meal in fear.” Only two nights before I was reading in that room, and the twilight had deepened as 1 sat think ing over my book. As I looked up,by,the faint red glow of tho wood fire, I fancied that pic ture,- a St: Francis meditating, had a peculiar expression about 1 the eyes. Tberaptsaint looks upward, ignoring mundanevanities; this looked downward, and steadily at me. T felt inclined to cut it open, but dared not. After ail, I im agined the gloom bad deceived me, but now I perceived the same idea bad passed over his eminence., I resolved to make him under stand that I had followed liis thoughts, “Do you think,” said I, “ that St. Francis in his meditations became sometimes a little distrait ! That his eyes wandered from heaven, for ex-; ample, to some worldly object, say, as to the. quality of your eminence’s breakfast, or be came suddenly diverted by our conversation.” He losked steadily at me, then at the picture which faced him as he sat, but was behind me. Then after a moment replied, “It iSa fatality.” I saw no more of him that day. I heard from the valet- that he was anxious not to be diS-; turhed. I had no reason to think him ill. His mind was distressed, but bis phyoique was ro busfeand his liablts very abstemious.. Had he been in the least ill, I should have heard it from his valet. Four dayrafterwards I was, informed that tlie Cardinal desired me to spend tlie evening in his private apartments. These apartments were three, communicating. There was no entry but the door of theantc-chamber. This opened into a chamber well ' tilled with books, and this again into the Caitiinal’s bed-room. We had dined at five. His eminencehad con tined himself to liis favorite and insipid OhablLs, I of which he drank one little flask; I, to a : more generous vintage of Biu'gundy. The. i subject of our conversation was exceedingly j important. With the idea upon us like ak in- ; cubus, we conversed in low tones, and everand j anon the Cardinal-rose and examined the outer j door. Only vulgar listeners use keyholes. The - conversation euded by my being intrusted ! with certain, documents to place in safe, ! keeping. At half-past nine I bade the Cardinal good- j night. He retired to say his office. I re- I marked afterwards that a passage in the office ; of that day was singularly apropos to our con- ! dition, ‘ffearfulness and trembling bath come j upon me, and a horrible dread hath over- j whelmed me.” Knowing the importance of • the documents, I hesitated to keep them in my i possession. Sealing them in a packet, I put j bn a street dress and hastened to an English - gentleman, who cheerfully undertook their keeping. To bailie pnrsuit, I slept at the ! hotel where he was staying. j I rose early and repaired to the palace. Tlie j valet had orders to wake his master at seven, j It wanted but a few minutes. I retired to my j room. Scarcely a quarter of an hour elapsed j ere the valet rushed in, pale with afiright, -ex- j claiming, “His eminence is dead !” I followed j him quickly to the apartment, having alarmed j the household. The disposition of tlie cham- ! her was as ordinary. Tlie Cardinal’s dress lay : oil a Chair,-as his valet had placed it. His j breviary was open at vespers. The bed was- ; the only thing disturbed. There were certain j indications of a'struggle, although very slight. | The usually placid countenance of the Cardinal j was flushed and discolored, the eyes partially ; open, themouth rigidly Closed. The two hands ; grasped tlie bed clothes convulsively. A phy- j siciau was hastily summoned,who pronounced j life to have been extinct some hours. “From j what cause ?” I asked, lie whispered, “They will probably say apoplexy .” lam bound to say that when I left that cliamber the idea was rooted in my mind as a fact corroborated by most dark and awful circumstances. The populace formed its idea, too. | I close tliis paper with an apropos account' of the one thing that made the idea a fact to } me. I was summoned to attend the Cardinal j Autonelli, w.lio, after conversing on .a variety 1 of subjects, asked me for the papers I had"re- I ceived on that fatal night. I attempted to ! parry tlie question, to ascertain how much he ! knew, when, to my surprise, he repeated ver batim certain portions of tlie conversation held that evening in the late Cardinal’s study. I expressed my astonishment, and plainly in formed him that he forced on me unwelcome inferences. Here was a! proof that' some one had been present during a secret conversation. ! How ? Where ? And if this person or per- i sons could be present to see and hear, might i not he or they have also power to do? ' | I rejoice to say, though strenuous exertions ! were made to obtain the papers, they were as j persistently guarded, and 1 have them now. Reported for Bvoninglßulletin. .
