tdgar hastily swallowed his dish of tea, and
returned 16 his room, just in time to see Miis
Bentley and Mr. Endly setting out upon a stroll.
Lt was but ti moment until Edgar was in close
pursuit. In his Calmer moments he would have
abhorred eaves-dropping; but his love made him
desperate, and be. was ready to adopt any plan,
• which was not positively criminal, to obtain that
knowledge which he so much desired. So at a
aafirdistance he pursued them, until they reached
a grove below the-town and on the river bank;
-they entered a tastefully ,arranged arbor.. Behind
this,Edgar slyly and noiselessly concealed himself.
-and heard the following conversation:
"My dear Lucretia—my sweet angelyou

never spoken that simple word which is to seal
my fate, and make me either miserable or happy
'for my remaining life. But I mistake. What
..did you mean, dear lady, by that halfaniahed sea
:Once this aiternoon. You said, "Geolle, I love
..you as—" That cursed noisy stage robbed my
`ear of that sweet music which flowed from your
lips. I could,pot then ask a repetition, but now
may I make Such a request? Now, sweet one;
in this place of quietness—purposely made, I
doubt not, for such sacred.declarations--now be
giO--tell me the tale which I long , to hear! Oh!
do you love me? while I bow my knee before thee,
queen, of Fny heart."
"GieciTe Endly arise! You should bend the
knee to none but God," was Lucretia's reply
"Arise, and I will give you an answer. I deligh t '
to. make all around me happy. But however
much disposed I may be to make others happy, I,
think no reasonable person would ask me to make
them happy, by making myself miserable for life ;
indeed 1 question much whether any person of
proper feelings could be made happy at this ex•
pensive rate. Is not this a correct sentiment, Mr.
Endly? You agree that it is; and presume you
see its application. Yon ask me to finish thell!Ml
tepee of this afternoOn. Well, it shall be as you
wish—the sentence completed ia, I love you as

myself to make your visits to our house pleasant!' '
. Thus Lucretia Bentley answered the - ardent ap. "
Teal of -George Endly—concluding her remarks'
by saying:
"1 have acted candidly and honestly with yoti,
and I hope you .till not be offended, orebandon
your intimacy at our house . . NCr A let osmium."
George ifpoke not, nor moved, for 'a moment,
and when he spoke, his voice wastehanged. He
replied:
"Miss Bentley, this is rather cool. it is post : .
tively daring, thus to treat me. Do you not know ,
that you are now in my power? But, tell mei
who is this lucky fellow that you love so much?
Youloys him, yet you know not that be !oyes

who is he? ' I would like much to know him.'? •
"Nay, lifr.Eodly. I may be in your power; but
I thought that I had accompanied a gentleman to

to know that. I do not love you, and that the

accompany me home?"
• , 'No, Miss; you have insulted me, and if you

With these remarks, the gallant George Emily

Lucretia was completely nonplussed, and was
almost purenaded that Edgar had forgotten her.

the reason for his conduct towards them. Re

not spoken to her since she was a child. These

note 'Eras designed for the double purpose of
concealing, under the cloak of formality, her lurk
ing'affection for Edgar, and of gaining an inter
•
view, that she might ascertain his feelings for her.
*Bkie..expected to be able to sit in judgment upon
ill s the symptoms which Edgar would manifest,
Without exhibiting any herself; and in order that
she might fairly accomplish this end, she set about
composing herself. While engaged in this exer
ciie the doo l r bell was rung, and all her fortitude
Bed. But it was not as she expected; the servant
presented her with a nicely prepared note of apol
ogy- from George Endly, in which be ardently
solicited forgiveness, arid the whole matter to be
kept secret. Lucretia had scarcely perused this
note, when the bell again rung, and Edgar Stan
ley was introduced. The event which both most
heartily desired bad transpired—they had met—
they were both in the same room.
•
There was, for a time, an unpleasant constraint.
Lucretia was unable to play her part, and Edgar
was so anxious to say much, and that of a delicate
cast, that biscould say nothing. Finally a stream
of conversation commenced, but it was of the
most formal character; each wished to conceal in
themselves, that which they most wished to know
in the other. They conversed
_upon matters as
far from the point as possible. At last the scenes
of their childhood became the topic. Lucretia
thought she saw manifestations of more than com
mon affection for herself, made by Edgar; and
Edgar almost concluded that he was the loved
one, whose name was "a secret." Thus the secret
began to eke out. And how could it be other
wise? Will not the steel and the flint, when
brought together, produce fire? and why should
not two loving hearts, when brought into juxtapo.
aition, coalesce? It is natural, and we must obey
nature. Such was the fact here. There was no
love making—it was made already. Reserve was
soon thrown aside. The eye, which is correctly
termed the window of the soul, began to kindle
and sparkle; and soon sparks of love, like elec.
I•icity along the wire, flew along the wire of eon.
venation from heart to heart. This was pure
natural love both were filled with it, and joy was
unbounded ; both were speechless. Their bliss
was complete.
A piano stood in the room. Edgar solicited
music; Eucietia complied, calling upon Edgar to
make his own selection. Ile presented the very
appropriate piece, entitled "Long , ago." This
was enough. Lueratia let her eyes fall upon the
keys of the instrument, and whispered :
• "'Hereby bangs ittale.' Why do you make
this selection?",
Edgar replied "Because it expresses my feel.
ingirriusel will speak what I cannot."
"1 cannot sing. Edgar."
''Oh! Lucretia! it You only knew how happy
I feel this evening, and if you only knew how
fondly I have cherished your name and watched
your movements, you would not think the, request
a strange one."
•A deep pause ensued.
But need I longerlelay ? Time is precious.
Pere I declare to you, Lucretia, that of all upon
earth, you are the nearest and dearest to my heart?
Bay, my long and.devotedly loved one, dare I make
inch declaration without the risk of expulsion
from Yout.Preience. I pause for n reply."
• Lucretia, having her eyes still fixed upon the
ene'apot, uttered, with trembling voice, " What do
you think?"—and slowly raising them, she looked
coquettishly at Edgar, who was standing at the
end of the piano, and said—"l have a great mind
to punish you for your very ungallant conduct at
Did you know that I was there purposely
to see you, at the time of the contest, and also of
the commencement? Did you know that there
.wertkone present who felt more elated at your
siemens, than I did—not even excepting that ex
•eellent man, Mr. G--? He thinks you would
not have treated me so. Whydid you not speak
to me? Perhaps I was too desirous, and yo
were too full of glory at the time."
This was an unexpected rejoinder to Edgar.
How we mistake! this world is full of mistakes.
What else could Edgar do than make a declara
tion of the thoughts and feelings which he experi
enced at that time ? Thil he did—he told her
all,. He told her thatthe had supposed himself
forgotten, in consequence of his poverty. " And
this evening, Lucretia, when I stood upon the steps
over the way, when I saw you withdraw frgm that
window, as I cast my eye upon you, I wee dis
mayed, for my only object in visiting this place,
at this time, was to see you."
"And you saw me, then, Edgar? Oh -I saa,
you; and such feelings I never before experienced.
I felt as if electrified. , But .hark! the bell I It is
my father."
Mr. Bendy made his appearance, and was in
troduced to Edgar Stanley. He was very formal,
but at the . same time civil and respectful. This
was nothing more than Edgar expected. It was
eleven o'clock, and our hero withdrew.
Edgar was .scarcely over the street, until Mr.
Bentley assailed L ucretia: • •
you have good company. When
did that upstart find his way into my house?
How did he muster fortitude to enter my parlor?"
Such were the'sentiments uttered by this purse-
proud American, and too many such' curse oar
country. Mi. Bentley, could. not appreciate hon.,
est industry --he could not smile upon a man,who
; hid, by his - perseverance, 'milled himself from the
dust, and fitted himself for any station. Nay, ac-
Cording to his views. nothing but gold would
qualify a man for society; and those who had
mind, but no gold, must rem a i n i n ' the l ower
walks. But, thanke-be to the genius of our "go-, , ,
vernment, the min, possessing a good and well
trained mind must rise despite of gold.

PITTSBURGH:
MONDAY 'MORNING PEBBAJARY 5,184'9.
-"7~
The following precious morceau appear. in , the
.. -
Journal, of Saturday, as a communication t
Ma. RIDDLE :•••I are glad to see you have called
the attentlon.otour cititens to the conduct of the
Morning Post towards the manufaCturing interests
of Pittsburgh, and 'its encouragenient of lawless
vi
olence.. A. newspaper, that is certainly excusing
mob law, and encouraging rioters, is the most den-
Peroua thing in society. Row long wilt it take the
ost to get up a mob against theiron manufactories.
The " Iron Lord's " turn comes next to the " Cot
ton Lord's.", IRON MASTER.
This is decidedly the richest thing of the season
If'this " Iron Master " will point to a paragraph in
the Attaining Post, published at any time within the
last two years' nd a half, which can be distorted
into any thing like an "encouragement °Clawless si
lence," we shall agree to pay him .a handsome re
ward. The charge is utterly false and malicious.—
We claim to be as much of a law-abiding person as
any "Iron Master "in Pennsylvania ; and we be.
Here that a " jury of the vicinage," would decide,
withouthesitation, upon their oaths, that we have
more respect tsar tho laws of our country and our
State, than the proprietors of our Cotton factories,
who wished to force poor helpless boys and girls to
work 12 or 14 hours a day, when the law declared
that 10 hours was a full day's labor.
Far the benefit of this " Iron Mester," we will
state a fact, and then the public can form an opinion
as to the truth of the charge' that we "encourage
rioters," made by EMI who wish to break down our
establishment. About 3 o'clock, on the day when
the " riot" at the Penn Cotton Factory took place,
we heard it rumored that another outbreak was like
ly to or...curie the evening. We crossed the river,,
purposely to prevent such an occurrence, if it was
in our power. We found some two or three hun
dred persons, men, bays and girls, col/acted around
the Pone Factory. Mr. Kennedy, one of the pro
prietors, was. in the basement of the building, in the
midst of a crowd, many of whom, we thought, did
not seem to be friendly disposed towards him. In,
deed, threats were made, and the slightest circum
stance might have been sufficient to induce a renew
al of the scenes of the morning; in a too-fold more
fearful manner.. We spoke to Mr. Kennedy, and
urged him to retire—stating, that we bad reason to
believe that his presence would have a tendency_ to
induce a new outbreak in the evening, when , the
crowd would increase. We volunteered to assist in
nailing up the demised windows that were broken
in. At the same time, we spoke to those who were
collected in groups around, and begged of them to
retire quietly and peaceably to
_their respective
homes, stating, that that was not the proper time or
place to settle their difficulties. Mr. Kennedy took
oar advice and retired, and the crowd immediately
afterwards began to disperse. For the truthof what
we have here state; we refer this a Iron Mestere,
to Mr. Kennedy himself, and also to ?deism William
azgaley and Morgan Robertson.
This• hoe Master• need not feel tho least alarm
about a mob, unless. ha assists in originating one
himself, by opprming those to whom he no doubt
promiecd •two dollars a day and roast beef,• if
they would vote the Whig ticket. We will agree to
effect an insurance upon his life, and pay the pre
mium, if be is injured in his person or property, in
consequence of any thing that may appear in the
colOcons of the Morning Post. .
We have been urged to publish tha names of the
persona who have discontinued the Morning Post,
because we could not conscientiously prove roar&
antito the Democratic Party and its Principles, and
join in the blood•hound chase against the poor fac
tory girls, widows and orphan, who ban, endeav

Hear Gov.Johustont
On the subject of the TEN Holm LAW of the last
session, Gov. JOHNSON, in his Message, speaks as
follows:
Daring the last session of the Legislatur an act
was passed, regulating the hours of labor in facto
ries, and specifying the age at which minors shall be
admitted therein. It is respectfully submitted,
whether this law does not require amendment, so
as to prevent special contracts to tabor more than the
time fixed by the act. The operation of the law, as
at present in force, gives to those VIOLATING ITS
SPIRIT, an advantage over him who faithfully car
ries it into effect, by permitting the owner and op
. swathe to enter Into such contracts, in relation to
the extension of time, as they may deem proper. If
it be right to limit the hours of labor in factories,
(AND WHO, THAT DESIRES THE EDUCATION
AND COMFORT OF OUR CITIZENS, CAN DOUBT
ITO the ItiVi 'should be so changed as to operate
alike in all such establishments. Should the Legis
lator° concur in this opinion, it would be proper to
REPEAL THE PROVISO allowing of special con
tracts by parents and guardians, for the labor of mi
nors above the age of 14 years. They should not be
left in a condition of more hardships than the adult.
I have brought this subject to the notice ofsho Leg
islature, as well because of the justness and propriety
of the suggestion, as that my friendship for the meas
ure, was well known to the people, and has bean
approved by them, at the late general election.
P. S.—We have been informed that one of the
Factory proprietors has returned from Itarrisburgh
(having gone there to bore for the repeal of the
Ten Hour Law,) and reports that the Whigs, are as
radical on the subject al the.Democrata ; and that,
therefore, there is no hope of accomplishing the
pious purpose.

L. Harper, Esq.—The special election for State
Senator took place on yesterday. The day was un
favorable; but so far as we have received the returns
from the County, we have achieved wonders—and
that, too, notwithstanding Gov. Johnston had written
to many of his friends in this County to bo active in
the support of tbo Whig candidate. Ia the Borough,
Drum has a majority of 15 ; Taylor had 18 and Gov.
Johnston 49. In Pine Township, Drum has a major
ity Of 16—Taylor bad 32 or 33. In Kittanning
Township Drum has a majority of 86, about 9 more
than Longatreth or Cass. The gain in these three
Districts in favor of Drum is about 100 . 11 the
balsoce of the County has done as well, Drum will
'haven majority of at least 300. I del not, however,
intend to speak confidently,—thus Iltr, however, the
returns are far beyond our expectations. If Drom
is elected, arid I believe he it, we have the Senate
neat year; and that will be a rebnitil to Gov. John
ston, which ho will not soon Ibrget.'
Yours, ' J. S. R.
P. S.—l will be able on Tuesday fo say with cer

result.

Ma. HARPER : I Wall much gratified by the cora
munication of Jackson in your paper of the Slet
' tilt., and so must have been every Democrat who
has his heart in the right place. To know Captain
John Birminghem is to esteem him, end in these
days of party strife every sensible man most 500
bow important it is to support , a clear headed
"straight forward ,$ and honest man—one who has
all his life been well posted up on all the great
nominees of State interest. As a butineis man his
promptitude has ever entitled 'him to the highest
respect, and aside from all we owe him as a party
(and to none we owe more) he is moat decidedly a
eery best man we could have as Quill Commission.
or.
Now, 1 know so well haw these communications
are, by many viewed, that I can scarcely mutter
courage iufficient to band it in, and to think, that
the name of Capt. Birmingham bo paned carelessly
by—altrioet tilts rho scale, but it may, like Jacknowe
communication, canon come to think, and to think
with an honest man is to act as a friend. .
STArs Tulasunzu.—The county officers and
citizens of the State generally seetn to have forgot
ten that a law was passed last year4roviding that
the State Treasurer shall enter upon his duties on the
first Monday of May, in each year. Gringos J.
Batt, Esq., the State Treasurer elect,- is daily re
ceiving official letters, which should be ditected to
Arnold Plumer, State Treasurer until the first Mon-
