" Youllat ter, I fear, Mr:Harcout,"-replied _Kate. "Upon my word, Miss Kate,.escuse me for my familiarity, I speak truly ; never knew what it was to enjoy a steamboat trip before." "I am happy to hear it,Mr.llarcout,that you have enjoyed' yourself, for. I feel convinced, that your company has added much to my own and my bro ther's pleasure. But perhaps this is your first trip ou the Ohio, and the novel scenery may account for your pleasure. Frank informed tne that youare from the East, and the novel scenery may be the cause of your pleasure:' " Yes; this is nay first trip on this river, Miss Orton, but I hava l ascended and descended the North River, which you know is famed for its rich and romantic scenery, and llnclude all." n , There is an - old saying, Mr. Harcout, if I mis -take not, of this kind," replied Sate : Where there is an equal divide there is no robbery.' We are equil, I imagine, and consequently square with this exception, you have made two happy while I have afforded pleasure but to one:' This was said with a winning smile, and Henry's heart leaped for pure joy. was-just- wishing to-day, Miss Eate," con tinued Henry, " that our journey would never end. 7.

The words had scarcely escaped his lips when 'Fmk joined them, and in a few .Moments they descended to the cabin, where they joined in general cnnversation until the chatilbermaid began closingthe folding doors, which 'separates the la dies' from the gentlemen's department. "This is a hint for us to leave, Frank," remarked Henry, as he took his hat and bowed himself out. Nixt clip; after dinner, the boat reached S A hack stood - on the wharf ready to receive the 0 - rtons. Soon their baggage was on shore—the time of separation was come in all its reality.— . Henry was at the door awaiting the arrival of his friends. At last they came. He merely remark ed, as he extended his hand to. Frank, " You will leave " Yes, sir. Thank God I am at home and alive, replied Frank. " Farewell, Mr. Harrow." "Farewell; my dear friend," replied Henry "Nuts Orton," he •continued, " may I presume to take your hand in parting ?" Kate, without , hesitation, took the extended hand. " Good bye, and rementher the wandering Henry Harcout," he continued, giving her hand a gentle pressure. "I'will,Mr.liarcout, and remember.to call upon us if you ever come here in your wanderings. : 7 — Good :bye, Mr. Harcoutl" responded the noble. heanekKate, iiturning the.Pressura it„py the way, Harcout," spoke Frank, as,he futnea,to his•friend, " what is to prevent me from hiring f rom you 1" ":Nothing,:Mr. Orton, except your refusal to readand answer, replied Henry. If that is all; we will hear from each other often.'„:Bo.Tare you well." `vritt expect to hear from you first, Mr. Orton. Address me at W--. God bless you !" By this time all things were ready, and the Or.. torisment asbore, entered the hack and were dri .. yen away. Henry kept hi s eye on the hack as it 'ascended the main street of S---, and until it disappetuad. When he lost sight of it he turned away sick it heart, but could find no relief for his troubted mind frarn any object—he felt desolate and , dreary, and refused to be comforted. After passing from place to place, and finding nothing to 'ease „his aching' heart, he retired from the throng to his room v •and throwing bhuself on his berth, with a sigh, exclaimed—" Would to God she was mine!" - Late that evening, Henry Harcout was landed at his uncle's residence. He found all anxiously awaiting his arrival, and much rejoiced to see him. Week after week passed away without his receiving Frank _Orton's promised letter. Such neglect, for he could view it in no other light, was. wounding to his pride and hurtful to his feeling% Owing to thii, he began .to think that he was de. ceived in his new and much esteemed acquaint tunes. Their friendship, thought he, was only steamheat friendship after all. Such was not the character of his feelings towards tale and. Frank Orton.' Hi loved the , former, and esteemed the latier." His respect and admiration for Frank was doubtless,more on account of his connectien, than any very peculiar excellency of cheracter which he possessed. Frank . Orton lalts a noble-hearted: man. beweVer, and was 'much beloved-by all who knew him. He had good reasons`: for not Writing to Henry;Barcout, as he prornised—zreasons Which Would have satisfied Henry, and which were very different froinloe imagined by h im ' lil ftY shortly after hil - 114uin, tieter .. ` a ttilie4iAli !Wa... lent hemorrhage:, troro z . he ktihgs. - Ale from this attack - , o r t ha474J4odea*s door for 4Obths:-DurinLtfiajnettspoViii , to Kate frequently about Henry Harcout.

'verration, proved fatal to him. It brought on and -cher hemorrhage, which terminated his life two days afterwards. Henry HarCourt's affairs required him to leave 'for - Europe early in the fall. His father was heir to a -valuable property at the death of a senior brother. Henry was notified of his uncle's death, and informed by an English attorney that:his pre sence would be required in England. For the pur. pose Of attending to this business, he sailed for England in 'September, ' lb3s—about two vreeks prior to the decease of Frank Orton, and expected to be absent for eighteen months.

' The removal of Simon Drum has caused a tre mendous fluttering among the Whigs, both in this stiatennd elsewhere. Some of the papeti, pretend ing to streak from authority, assert that it was all a mistake. But how the mistake occurred we ale not told. Others are out boldly in defence of the remo val. We like thir-_-_-thourrlt w_eeare but a poiii - oiTil - f — noTi if the sense of justice and decency in a man. who-can earnestly defend such an out rageous act of proscription. Among the defenders ofthe act is the Philadelphia News. It says he was removed for cause. Simon Drum held the office for forty-five years. This is the cause of the:removal. New we profess to be in favor of rotation in office, -bat we find,exceptions to all good rules. if the emoluments of the Greentiburgh Post Office were great, then we would not object to the removal. Or, if. Mr. Drutri had not possessed peculiar claims and qualifications, we would have said but little. The News in a P. S., gives other reasons for the removal. In substance they are as follows : Simon Drum was a Democrat, and voted for Cass; nay. more, he electioneered for him; he was opposed to Gen. Taylor. For this he was put out, and a man who electioneered for Taylor % and opposed Cass, was patln. Quotient upon this specimen of Fede. ral consistency is unnecsieary.. We have another complaint to make against this Administration, on the score of inconsistency.— Some days ago it was announced that a certain per son had been appointed Post Master at San Fran cisco, California; but no removal announced. It ap priars that Col..Gzitav was the man removed. We ate anxious to see what excess can be started for this removal. Col. Geary had just received his ap pointment. He was fully competent to discharge the duties of the office.-He served his country' nobly in Mexico, for which he received the high enco niums of Gen. Quitman. • regard to these removals—Drum and Geary— We only , desire our readers to bring to mind the pledges made by Gen. Taylor and the Whig. party before -the election, and compare them with their .conduct since they have ascended to power. It is a sorry commentary upon the honesty of the men.' Can we:hope far goad tom a party'that in the Srst two months of their greatness violate the only pledge' they made to the people, when they sought to be trusted by them? Kir Our citizens are now suffering severely on account of the carrying out of an important part of the policy of the W`higs—we refer to the issues of paper money. , It is customary for our opponents to charge upon us that we have committed errors of various kinds, and thus like a certain fish, attempt to escape through the mud that they themselves' stir up. But we opine, that in this case the enemies of Democratic ptincipleswill notiindeavor to shirk the responsibility. All Ais distress and embarrassment hive been Caused by he Whigs, and by them alone., Fer years the-Democrats have protested against the issue of paper Premises, and we all predicted the "blow up" which our citizen; are now experiencing., We trust this lesion will not be lost., If the work ing men, who hare city scrip and other small notes is their, pockets, which'are worthless to them, will only stop and reaian a little with themselvs,they will surely &leaver thit the system of smell notes is so inconsistent wit,kra healthy condition of society, that mine but the . deliberate enemies of the interests of the people can advocate them.

The inhuman treatment of the.unfortunate stranger who died of Cholera, carried as he was froth street to street, without a shelter being offered to hirn,"en.- til Dr. Penniman `took him hurler his hospitable roe, haa, produced a feeling of astonishment at the negli gence of our City Atithoritieri, which' doubtless will effect good results., Secure eur - healthy position, and knowing from experience- that our salubrie, atmosphere is anti•choleric, We have neglected; to do what humanity long ago dictated; that is, to pre pare a hoepital for the - suffering strangers who may land upon`ur wharf. , :The . Mercy Hospital was of fared for this purpose during last - winter, but the Ci ty Councils refused to'necede to their generous pro: posal ; but,now When they hare 'declined to receive a Cholera patient, without having made the necessa-f ry preparations, some persons aretrying to find fault with the managers., This hantstime for fault finding, Let thous who ace sir willing to censure. others ask themselves the question: ' taken Cholera patient, or a case of small Pox; into my own , fatally 1 The City Authoritieswere remiss in not having pre pared for the sad sight witnessed on Wednesday in our streets, but it iota be hoped they will now make up for their delinquency. There is ma danger of the Cholera spreading in Pittsburgh. Cases may be .brought here from below in steam boats;and these only have to be provided for; and, the hone° for their veception should' be out of the city, and the approach to it not through crowded streets. Alarm is a predisposing cause of this terrible disease, and alt causes to produce alarm should be removed. Whatever is done ought to be'done quickly. The cleansing of our streets and alleys engirt- to go onl and no family should neglect to urn Jima 'freely about their premises in order to deetroy all offen sive miasma. The best physician's say the Cholera is not a contagious disease ; but when , a system is preAliaposed, and the individual is careless in his habits, there is danger in the contact. It might tie well for the tounti Commissioners to appoint a Health Officer to board each steam boat before it ap proachee the city„ and remove all'who may be'ailftc ted with the disease to some place prepared in the neighborhood for the, perpnse,"and thus prevent any excitement hereafter upon the public mind. Trouble In the Whlg-101ram. The Clay.whigs of the'City of New York, a few days since, held a festival to celebrate the birth-day of HENRY CLAY. rUpoethis occasion the friends of " gallant Harry," uncorked their iddignatloo, 'and blew off steam at a terrible rate. The New -York Expresa says that at this Celebration ta no mercy was shown to the Taylor delegates at Philadelphia and the original Taylor men, some of ivhom were damned as accursed traitors to the whig party and to Henry Clay. The language of invective was ex hausted against the original Taylor men, and against some not original, who weie restive under the at tack. Hisses were occasionally heard, but the cheering ran riot whenever the name of Henry Clay was uttered." Mr. Joseph L• White, (formerly a Whig member of the Senate of the United States,) renominated Mr. Clay as President for '62, and thus vents his lie upon the Philadelphia convention : " It was not by the act of God, it was pot for the want of affection—instant, pressing, ardent, Omni. ; 'present—throughout the rand in the bosoms of lien, but on account of a malicious, malignailid—iEhasav and loud calls for . . others speakers werehere heard] . out! speak tint It was on account of a dcep seated, malig nant, eternal. hostility that the nomination, that the man was defeated, and the hope of his friends, and the desire of the whigs of the Union,swept away by one fell blow. Yes, and that blow was wielded by the hand of traitors in the whig camp ! By that blow, of the combined power of treachery and mo ney, the friends of Mr. Clay were denied.their home, and sent forth to wander upon strang e ground ; and then, as a whig, a Clay whig, an ultra whig, (ap plause,] I determined that whatever course others in their judgment did conscience might adopt, I at least would not cave in; and I never have. " Mr. Clay was shamefully sacrificed in that con vention ; assassinated, murdered in the house of his friends ; and then after the nomination, the friends of Mr. Clay were asked to trample upon the grave where their hopes were entombed, and to shako hands with their idol's assassins. That deed was too full of sacrilege for me to do this, and rather than thus act, I turned aside from that path ancLeursed the assassins in my heart, as I curse them nom !!" The Pittsburgh Gazette, " long, long ago? pro fessed to entertain the most profound regard for Mr. Clay, and considered him the " embodiment" of every thing that was noble and patriotic. Will the Deacon be good enough to publish the speech of Mr. White? The "government pap" should notprevent him from setting up a show, at least, of bCing honest and candid. Hate's Rotary Engine.

Mist Erneline Newton, a Young lady, aged 20 years, daughter of Mr. 0. S. Newton, living near Bermington„Vt, while at the house of afriend, on Monday night week; arose from her bed, and left the' premises almosi in it state of nudity, and-was found drowned in . the, river theneat morning. On Monday evening she visited het home about half of a rnile.froin her place of living, and-while there, rernarked—“To-morrow is my birthday, and lam going to celebrate it!" From this circum stance it is inferred that in the course of the night she began to dream upon'the pleasure she , had. promised herself on the corning day, and being somewhat subject to somnambulism, arose, came down stairs, unlocked the door, passed through a shed bat° the Yard. Frnin here she probably took l.er usual path fin home. To do this required the climbing of several fences, walking a street for several rods, and the crossing , of a river, either by a bridge or a loot-board—from one of the latter she must have fallen. It seems indeed miraculous that she did not awake during the journey to the stream but she was undoubtedly under a strong mental excite. meat, occasioned by the fond anticipation of soon engaging in the happy hilarity consequent upon the occurrence of a birthday festival! And hastily skipping homeward, joyful and careless, she step. tied-upon that fatal bridge before she awoke.—. Perhaps the roaring of the river restored her con. sciousness, when, bewildered at her frightful situa sti6a she missed . her footing, and plunged into the current,.became uverpowered and was carried to the bottom; or, perchance ,- did not awake even up on. reaching the bridge, still imagining herself in pursuit of pleasure, she awoke only when the dash ing 'waters startled her with the realization that her tiventieth birthday was the last that her imag. illation should dwell upon this side of eternity.— Phil.
