" 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

ou the Ohio, and the novel scenery may account
for your pleasure. Frank informed tne that youare

" Yes; this is nay first trip on this river, Miss

This was said with a winning smile, and Henry's

Henry. 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

closingthe folding doors, which 'separates the la

By this time all things were ready, and the Or..

'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

The exertion made by Frank Orton, in this con.
'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.

Proscription, Again.
' 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.
It is time for trio DeMocratic party to make anoth
er vigorens war upon this paper•money.swindle in
all its shapes.' matters little whether the notes
are issued , by Cities, counties or bankts-...banks of
Pennsylvania o' .elsewhere--they are-made the in
stroments of frad, they wound prosperity—in short
there can be stichan corer -an honest mechanic to
seem* a corupdence 7tiqe such mane}, instead of
the true constitationai currency, leafiest.
We call upot ourDitteocratic friends in this„State
'and in Ohio, b move in this money reform once

It often happens that good comes obt of evil.
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.

Papa Case of Somnambulism.
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.—
