Nearly twenty years ago 1 fell in lore

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

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.

''You are mine!" I heard a voice pro

as I tnroed. I saw a dusky ti!ore intAe•

trees.
The next day I sent word to my employer

she agreed to go with nal wherever I wish

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

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 war:, was there. and
having entered it, the boy drove us otT at
good speed. Just at daylight we reached

ready to start, and the buy returned, her.

creased the North River and made me
way to the western part of New York,
where I bought me a small cottage.
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. Six different times
be fired at me with his pistol, and twice
he wounded me. Oar two lives seemed to
.have but one sad and aim. His was to
take Caine, and mine to escape his fell re
vengel I became almost b walking skel
eton...the falling of a leaf would startle
me. At length I got a chance to go to
-England. I was in London. standing one
day at the door of au ole•haus when-0

ried down - to the Thames, took a lighter
as far as Gravesend, and there I was for
tunate enongh to find a bark bound, dt
reedy for the Mediterranean. 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. A hand
mightier than his has stricken him down.
That was hie cold powerless corpse that
we saw to-night in the church. If my
wife still lives, I shall see her again.

A yonpg gentlernan, whose name we

After procuring the license and .make

But what was his siirprise, even diiiinity:
on taking the piece from his Rocket a

Art At Washington.
_o7—.
Among the many criticisms upon the
works _of art in the capitol at Washington
we find the following in a letter publish
ed in the Cincinnati ChronicaL: It may
appear presnmptuonS for me to criticise
this splendid painting, which has been
praised so much. but I found in it the
same fault Mile); appears in all the rest
—lack of expression ; though there is ex
pression in it. 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

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

Shakespeare's Handwriting.

It Is nothing less than marvelous that
a man who, wrote as he wrote—and, alto
ge L - her,no man wrote like.him—that apoet,
the author of such plays and Bitch poems,
that a man possessing so many friends
and admirers, with whom his correspon

just now got among its a parallel to the

willingly paid for a picture which the same'
number of shillings would once have pur

the pounds by thousands are given for the
painter's nsme. Well, what would not
be willingly paid (for the sake of Shake
peare's nam') for the original manuscript,
say of Hamlet? Thera -would-be a fierce
fight amon„,g_.competitors for even a single
passage. We fancy that the lines begin

strained" or those that open with "She
