"Mr. C--," he commenced, I can tell you my story in a very few words Nearly twenty years ago 1 fell in lore with a young girl in the city of New York. On my part the 'acquaintance Soon ripened into a love of the warmest and moat ardent kitfcl—and itwas as pure as it was ardent, and she profeased the same feeling towards me. I . was then well-to'-do in the world, being a clerk in a heavy mercantile house, and ere long it was arranged we should be married.— About a week previous to the time set fur this ceremony, I accidently heard my affianced bride use some most obscene and profane language in company with ono of her female acqoainances. Yon can judge of my feelings under these circumstances much better than I can describe them. I turned away sick 'at heart, and en the very next day receiv ed indubitable proofs of the utter loll delity of the object of ray aft-ci ions, and lat once broke off the engagement. Up on being questioned by some of my com panions us to the cause of my course, I unguardedly and pe.haps,foolTshly,reveal ed to them the whole secret. The story. as having come from me, got wings, and soon spread among the lady's friends and acquaintenanees. A few days afterward a young man about my own age called, into the stare and came np to the desk where I was writing. His hands were nervously clasp ed torther and his face was rage. lie toad me that I hid forever blasted the reputation of his sister—that I lied faithlessly deserted her and left her broken hearted. I attempted to reason with him. bur I might as well .h.iee Boned with a lightening bolt. lie demand ed irsrant satisfaction, rind yropoied that I should accranp.my bins over on the L nig Island side and fight Inns. illy natural timidity would` have prevented mr from complying with sticli a request, and I had 11.13 V higher scruples, sad of , course I refused.

I knew that he meant jolt what he 15,5(1 said. end fear began to take posies !non of my bosom. Many times I dis covered that lie was dogging , me about. bat I always managed lo keep untimg crowd as I walked along the streets. I dared not brim him to trial again. for I might fail to make out a cas-, and it could only tend to Incense my enemy still more. At length I feared to walk the streets, for one night, as I 'Sat passing a dark alley near ..he head of Cherry street, I heard the report of a pistol close to me, and a bullet passed through my hat. I knew who tired that pistol, and I had no r‘i. I Mt that my life wa.s.not sate in that and secretly I went to a mull town in the wait-rn part of the State of Massachusetts. whra I angvred with a dry goods dealer.

At night I contrived to g-t my employer to go home with m and on the way I heard low, stealthy 5t..134 be• thnd me. I knew that I was dogged! ''You are mine!" I heard a voice pro nonoce, as I turned into my yard; and as I tnroed. I saw a dusky ti!ore intAe• wg eff beneath the dli.id, of the roadside trees. The next day I sent word to my employer hat I trae aim( and I kep the souse all oey. I explained all to my wife, and she agreed to go with nal wherever I wish ed. Several times during that clay I saw my sworn murderer pa4s the house and gaze irteutly upon the wilidJws, but he u;d not see me. I got a boy to go to ene sio'.lB end primate a born and wagon, and, after lark, to take it rowol to a i3,U;I: road, 11(ntrir a mile from the boas.% My wife-and myselr tied up such arti cles as we coati' carry, and taking ail my money with me we stole out through the back garden. unit gained the cross road in safety.

The stage was-bound to Lenox. which place we reached berme dark.

In test than a year my enemy found me again, and I saw hum standing in front of my house. He looked wthl, and hag gard, but I could see that there was nu 'roil determination upon his . feature. One - night Iheard a grating, against one of my windows, and on the nest woroeot inv dog a powerful Newfoundland, had sprang from his kennel. I dared not go down, for I knew too well the cause of the disturbance. The noise soon ceased. however, and on the next morning I .found my dog lying beneath the window —dead ! The villain had been afraid, probably. that the noise might have die newt! the -neighbors, and he had for the present resisted fiom his murderous in tent. I made arrangeammts with ray wife to keep the house, ant' taking • small earn of money with me I dud front my home. I Went to New Orleans, and there my enemy at length found me! For three years I skulked from place to place, the very embodiment of terror and weaken ing fear; but go where I would, the man was ware to hunt me.

I got a pas sage in her, and was at length landed in this city, where I have been ever since. I have regained somewhat my former health and spirits, though that dread fear has not failed to haunt me. tv enemy must have found me out even here, but. thank God, he has passed from the power to harm me more.

Art At Washington. _o7—.

The scene is of Perry leaving his own vessel in a launch just before the victory. So it is not Perry's Victory" after all! Bat names do not amount to much anyhow. The picture is the liveliest of any I have vet seen.— 'The'coloriog in the furegrouna is beauti ful, The commodore, a fine looking man is standin in the launch, immediately in front ot the e cockswain, and, so far as ex, presaion is concerned, looks as though he might be starting out on a piscatorial ex cursion. The gray-headed old fellow in front of him, palling stroke oar, looks as though he might break out with "Hew, brothers, row!" at any moment. The man who pulls at the back of "stroke" looks very stern, and has a wound in his forehead, bound up with a hankerchief, through which the blood is oozing. The man at the bow oar has some expression. He seems to look .tench worried about going at the enemy backwards, and as though lie would hke to change places with some one in the stern. Clinging to the commodore is a young man in the uniform of an officer, who appears to be making an effort to pull him down to a sitting posture. The position is good ; tha face very tine and fall' of expression. The excitement of the action, 'blended with agony for the safety of his comenan der,ie well decipatecl in this countenance.
