A Mother's Lave.
The following description of the ab
dnction of tbe child of General Viele is ' on the proper side. She flew utter her
written by one of the participants in the! mother, but was stopped by the two geu
aff.iir : j tlemen, on whom she furiously turned.
On Wednesday last the shores of Lake i tearing the coat of one to tatiers, ami in
Mahopac were the scene of an epieode in j fljctittg a severe blow on the forehead ot
real me ana ot a cnaracter most inor
ongltly moloilrAiiaAlio. -Out leaders m.tjr
well remember the litigation ngarding
tbe Viele children and the conduct of
Judge Kartiard therein, who, having
made an order for the mother to have
the custody of the two youngest children,
neutralized its effect by forbidding it to
be entered. By arrangement between
the parties, a Connecticut divorce was
agreed npon, Mrs. Viele being unwilling
to manufacture testimony as to tbe resi
dence required by the laws of that State.
By some blunder of the lawyers, nothing
was stated in the decree as to the guardi
anship of tbe children, and only one
child, tLe youngest boy, was given, to
Mrs. Vielu after the divorce,. After es
caping a trap laid to steal bim from her,
Mrs. Viele took Lim to Europe, and
while there heard of bar husband's mar
riage With womanlike impetuosity
Mrs. Viele wrote to New York that she
would Lave the clergyman deposed for
violating the canoes of the church by
solemnizing the marriage, and that she
would return at once to remove her
daughter. Arriving in New York (per
Vandalia), Mrs. Viele took into her con
fidence two lady friends of good standing
and two gentlemen. One of them, rumor
has it. is an officer high in the Uuited
States Aimy ; tLe other, it ie btlieyed, a
well known lawyer of this city. Thursday
night week the two gentlemen (appro
priately disguised) took a run to Lake
Mahopac, wLere General Viele resides
with Lis newly wedded wife aud former
wife's children. The bouse of General
Viele was carefully surveyed by tLe
tourists, wLo learned that a Rocky
Mountain bear was kept chained in tLe
rear garden ! One of our tourists, having
some acquaintance with General Viele,
called upon Lim-and soon made friends
with him, his new wife, and the little
girl, for whoso abduction these elaborate

preparations were being made. To keep
up their cLracter our tourists finished up
with a pedestrian excursion, aud inform
ing ihe. Icrk-Af-tbe Gregorj House,
while paving their bills, of their inten
tion to return the following Tuesday,
they trudged off to Peekskill on foot.
Returning to New York, a pressing bust
ucss engagement was made with General
Viele for the, following We 'ne"iay (Sep
tember 4) at the General's office. Un
Hie eveuitig of vVeduesday. tiie 4di of
September, our military friend fulfilled
ed his promise at the Gregory House,
anil the next morning watched the Geu
eral off by the train. This he telegraph
ed to New York, aud the forty minutes
past 10 train bore from New York Mrs.
General Viele. her legal adviser, and
one tf the lady .friends before referred to.
The military gentlemen met them at tbe
depot. Lake Mahopac, w.ith a carriage,
nud the party, with many encumbrances,
for Mrs. Viel t designed taking a long
journey what an apt word was the old
Roman "impedimenta" started round
the west shore of the lake to General
Viele's residence, avoiding the village by
this detour, and coming upon a picnic on
their road Arriving at the General's
the lawyer got down, rang the door bell,
askctl for the Oenctal, aud being out, for
MrsTYiele number two
She, as it happened, was out driving,
whereupon our lawyer, describing him
self as the health officer of the district,
appoiuted under a recent (imaginary) act
of the Legislature, asked if the lady
whom he was addressing could furnish

years of age, nnd no certificates being
forthcoming, asked to examiuu the chil
dren. Teresa was brought to him ; he
learnedly put on his spectacles; the
right arm being shown, said the mark
was so faint it inuet be done over again
'Oil, I've made a mistake ; 'tis the
other arm,'' said Miss Viele, the oldest
aister. and showed the left arm, which our
doctor for the once described as very
good, that it had taken very well ; jolted
"down on his tablets the name aud age of
the little gitl, said that thu mark was
very good, kissed her sweetly, and ask
ed to eeo the other child, said to be seven
years old. She was out with Mrs Viele
(No. 2) ; would be homo iu half an hour.
"Wwll," eatd tbo doctor, -l'll make eoun
other calls. My lime is, of course, very
slioit. anil I'll be back by half past two "
Stepping back to his cariiage, lie drove
around returned in tenty miuti.'es.
Miss Viele appeared at the door, leading
little Emily by the hand, whom she took
iuto the parlor to unfasten her dress and
exhibit her arm. Our "doctor ' mtde the
agreed-on signal military friend ami
Mrs. Viele rushed out, and the moment
they reached the door, "Mrs. Yiel."aid
our doctor lawyer, "here is your child."
".My darling," said tbe yearning mother,
and quick as thought she li teJ the chi! 1
in her urros and bore her towards the car
riage. But Miss Viele, though taken .j
surpiise, proved herself a heroine. One
cau only regret that ber courage and
presence of mind weie not displayed up
tbe other Thinking that Mrs. V iele bad
sufficient start, the gentlemen now let go
their hold, and again Miss Viele darted
after her mother and sister, and would
have caught them had not the lawyer
seized ber round tlie waist. .liss Viele s
foot tripped, aud she fell heavily on the
gravel, bearing the genilem tu about her
to the ground, but seizing Lis Lai a
very peculiar one, borrowed expressly to
mislead she carried it off in triumph
The party drove off, the mother kissing
her child frantically, and for a time all
went merry as a marriage bell, except
that nothing would induce the driver to
hasten his horses, Le evidently doubting
whether all was right, aud apareuily
wishing himself aud his team well out of
the business. Preseoily our lady friend
cried out: "We are followed !" Our
lawyer, looking over the carriage. Jaw a
man coming ou at a bard gallop with a
revolver in hand, and whispered to the
military friend to draw his revolver.
Down came the pursner, and leveling the
revolver at the gentleman, demanded the
child. Tbe military geotleman, cooly
presenting his piece, said in a threatening
tone. "Don't shoot ; drop your muzzle,''
and down it went ; the horseuMu gallop
ping on to the picnic party, anil appeal
ing to them lor aid. Some three or four
stepped iuto the road to stop the carriage
though this was not necessary, as dar
key pulled up, and refused to proceed
till the matter was settled.
Several threatening faces nor ap
proached the carriage and demanded the
child. "Never !" said Mrs. G-neral
Viele, drawing her elf up ; "Never ! it is
my child, and you shall cut my heart
out before you take it "
The lawyer jnmped down, and telling
Mrs, Viele to appeal to . the woman, and
he went among the men and addressed

mothers there, and one of them, a leader !
among them, soon said to her, "Yon cpp

said Mral -Viele, "passionately ; an I the
lawyer, turning to the good woman, ask
ed her to speak to the m-n. which she

before referred to, standing six foot four,
and broad in proportion, advanced to tbe
horses' heads and said 'drive on!" Still
the driver hesitated ; the lawyer jumped
into the carriage and nrged him on ;
military iriend ordered him eu ; the
horseman with the revolver (haviug
since dismounted) made a n-.otion to
spring to the horses' Leads, but was held
back by the noble looking man. and an
other one on each side, bidding him by
bis coat cuffs and tie lawrer. half i
drawing his sword stick, told him that
if he again dared to stop tlm carriage be
would put the sword through him. The
party drove on to lVekskill, but reflect
ing that they would have to wait over an
hour nnd a Lalf for the train, dining
which time another crowd and fins might
be got np, orders were given to the dri
ver to go on to Montrose. This he de
clared his horses could not do, and tome
mistrust being felt of him he wat sent ou
to the depot with some of the party,
while the rest took another carriage aud
proceeded to Garrison's, where they got
saf. ly on board the cars. Sufficient timo
was given to General Viele to procure a

Lord Bolingbroke, in Lis " Reflections
upon exile," says : "Our natural and real
wants are confined to narrow bounds,
wbde those which fancy and custom
create are confined to none."
Young men who are just entering npon
life, and forming the habits which are
likely to adhere to them to its close, will
do well to treasure up in their memory
these ti ne and instructive words of one of
England's finest writers and most philo
sophic statesmen
Our natural and. real wants arc con
fined to narrow bounds." It is surpris
ing how little it is that is absolutely essen
tia! to man's existence, and, if be will
tiike an intelligent anil considerate view
of life, to his comfort and happiness. In
tellectual enjoyments are comparatively
cheap. The cultivation of tho mind,
which affords the highest and the only
enduring satisfaction, cau be pursued on
an income quite insiguificant for the sup
ply of luxuries.
Our physical wants are very few, if
we preserve our tastes simple, as they
are by nature. To eat, to drink, to ex
ercise, to sWp, to keep warm, and to be
sheltered ; a email sum will supply all
these The pleasures which are pure,
aud which tend to our improvement, are
within the reach of almost every one

A" correspondent of the Sunday Trant
cri'jrt a few weeks since sent to that pa
per the following letter from' Lrntttlus,
Governor of Jerusalem, to the Senate
and people of Rome, giving a description
of tbe person'of Christ, wkich has never,
we believe, been printed in this country,
aud it miy, therefore, prove iutsresting
to many readers :
" There has lately appeared in tbeso
pat ts a man of singular virtue, who is yet
a'ive. named Jesus Christ, whom the'
Gentiles call the Prophet of Truth, and
his followers Call him the Son of Gncf.
He cures al! distempers and redeems tbe
dead themselves. As to Lis person, he
is tall and comely, of a venerable aspect.

To the above the correspondent of tho
Transcript adds the following letter from"
Pontius Pilata to the Emperor Tiberius,
acquainting Him with the life, miracles,
death and resurrection of Jesns Christ :
" I am a witness of the Jews entailing
misery osthemselves and their posterity,
prompted by a pemicJriim cvy to iro un
just and Cruel- sentence. The express

of their ancestors promised the coming of

A new way of getting rid of undesira
ble babies has been invented in Boston.
A few days ngo a girl with an infant in
her arms hailed a passing hoise car. Be
fore stepping on the platform she Lan
ded the amimated package to the conduc
tor and theu concluded not to get on at
all, but disappeared through toe crowd
and was seen no morn. This may Lavo
beeu a relief for the girl, but it put put
the conductor in an embarrasing position.
The passion for notoriety in these de
geuemte days leads people into very
strange conduct. A girl up iu Mont
gomery county lately concocted a story
about a lover who insisted npon her mar
rying bim at the pistol, and finally shot
as her, iuflicting only a slight wound ia
the arm. It was ascertained that the
lover was a myth, and that she iuflicted
the wound herself, aud told the story to
create a sensation.
