:,Lh... nnd distress to penury,

lone desired luxury, ml, like a ministering
angel, keep i.ighlly vigil by the lonely
couch, until Ihe long, long hours had
w aned and morn broke on "her dim, weary
eye "
Ella's eighle'enlli birth-day was fast ap
prtjTrhing, and as yet, among the throng
of devotee- who had worshipped at the
shrine ol her excellence nnd beauty, none
had kindled a reciprocal feeling in her
breast. It vas not became she was way

the lair girl had, like all, her own ideal
In all her romantic dreams of maidenhood,
there had been a face a glorious face
posst sst d of a wen Irons charm, and until
the coming of its prototype the heart of
Ella Clare remained unchanged.
So passed the sunnv-hued hours of
youth! The rose and jessamine twined
around the casement, and poured their fra
grance through the lattice of her pleasant
home. Gaily, at eventide the song floated
out on the still air of the valley, from the
Clare Cottage, and the old man, her sire-
he of the wrinkled orow tnd age worn form

and as the tear drop gathered in his dim.
eye, call down the blessings'of high heaven
upon the child ol his love, sitting there so
lovingly at Ins feel so lovinslV with her
upturned beaming face, and her curling
tresses of golden brown !
So passed the gunny-hiied hours of vouth.
one by on they flew t J join their predeces
sors in the dim and shadowy past, and as
the distance between him and the dark val
ley grew less, the love ol the while-haired
old man-waxed stronger and stronger for
his child.
Poor old man! how little he dreamed of
the woof that fate was weaving in the desti
ny ot Ella! How little he knew of the night
with the dark storm-cloud, that so soon was
to darken the home where the rose and the
jessamine twined, and whose light was the
love of the beautiTul girl, a night of hor
ror and gloom, that would drive her forth
toswither and die alone in the tempest.
Poor doomed one:
"A wandering bark, upon whose pathway shone
All star, of heaven, except the guiding one."

Then came the destroyer, and her doom
was .sealed! A tourist satiated with the
wonders and ' mnanifkence ol the Old
World, George Mortimer had come to Wil
lowdale in search of the beautiful and pic
turesnue of his native land. Of the finest
order of intellect, his manners polished by
foreign travel, it did not take long ere he
became a welcome and au honored guest at
every fireside. ' '

I s'ood beside her erave, and near, a
white-haired old man leaning heavily on
his staff. And as the clods fell on her
coffin, ringing the death-knell of the last j
hope that had made lite wbrth the living,
he turned him nway to his desolate home, 1
where the rose am! the jessamine no longer
bloomed, and the sunlight had ceased to
fall away to his desolate home, to lie
down and die ! The Web that fate had been
weaving was finished, and the night with
the storm cloud had come !
Sweet Ella Clare! Thou of the beaming
eye and the tresses of golden brown ! Thou J
hast gone to thy long, long home, beautiful
one, and the sunshine of eternity is on thy
brow, the changeless smile is on thy lip;
but thou art not forgotten ; for often in the
shadowy twilight young forms are een
around thy lowly grave, and, forgetful ot
thy fall they drop there the heartfelt tribute
of a tear.
, And the destroyer! did you ask me
what become of him 1 O, he went lorth
into the world and wore the purple, and
drank deep of the cup of fame, and held
high honors in his country's gilt. He sat
in the nation's councils, and men whose
years were twice his own cave him Ihe
precedence and sat enwrapt in wonder at
his eloquence. He was fawned upon, and
courted and caressed, and honored among
men, throughout life ; and then came
death ! We may not look beyond the cur

The other day, in a cause before an honor

a very flattering compliment was paid by tho

from 1832 In the course of his argument,
Mr. Stanly (ook occasion to allude to the un
fairness which seemed to characterise the i
proceedings, at Ihe same lime intimating
what the court deemed a suspicion that it
was not entirely unbiased. Whereupon, the
clerk as ordered to fine Mr Stanly twenty,
five dollars for contempt. That gentleman
stopped in his argument, walked up to the
clerk's desk and paid the fine, remarking at
the same time that nothing gave him more
pleasure than at all (Trues to render cheerful
obedience to the constituted authorities of

Mr. Sianly afterwards took occasion in his
i-address to the jury to thank God he lived in
a free republic, where Ihe truth might bo

gained his case, and the jury, after having
rendered their verdict, enclosed a compli

of the fine that His Honor had imposed, which

of his appreciation of the compliment, and a
request that they would give the money to

Washington, April 23, 1854,
Friend Masscr ; In looking over a lalo
number of the Sunbury mrnran, (April 8)
I noticed that you have received the same
erroneous impression which many others
have received, in regard lo the grant of pub
lic land which your member, Gil. Slraub, has
soitoht to oblain from Congress to nid in llie
const met inn of Ihe Sunbury nnd Eri? Rail
road. Vou say that Congress is not dispose i
to grant any public land, for riiiln ad pur'
poses, out of Ihe Sinle in which the lands a e
located. Lei us see how the caso'-renlly
stands and what the prospects are of ulti
mately obtaining the grant in question.
Kl an eaily day of the present session, Col.
Slraub prepared a bill, appropriating 1,500,-
003 acres of the public land for the benelit
of the Sunbury and Erie Railroad, which was
referred lo the Committee on Publio Lar.ds
On that committee was the Hon. Mr. Hiester,
of the Lancaster district, who faithfully sec
onded your member's efforts lo procure a
favorable report. At first, the prospects of
obtaining such a teporl were decidedly un
favorable. Even Mr. Hiester became dis
couraged; but by dint of the unwearied ex
ertions of Col. S , the Committee finally au
thorized Mr. Hiester lo make a report to the
House in favor of the asked for grant. "Ob
server," the Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Ledger, says that Mr.
Hiester repoited Senator Cooper's bill lo the
House wilh tho Land Committee's endorse
ment. No report ichutevcr has been made;
lha friends of -the project believe that it
would be inexpedient to urge the matter at
thu present lime. This week, Mr. Bennett's
bill fur the distribution of tho public lands
among the old and new stales will come up
for the notion of ihe House ; and of this you
may rest assured, that salisfactnty assurances
ive been given to Col. Slraub, Mr. Hiester,
and olher Pennsylvania!!', who have shown
the liveliest solicitude' in order to secute a
ail way commnnication with the Lakes, that
in case ot the passage of the biil, piovision
at the same time will be made appropriating
thj 1,500,000 acres for Ihe .benefit of the
Sunbury and Erie road.
It may not bo out of place to state, in con
nection with this subject, lhat tha present
congressional delegation from your State is
composed of a greater amount of effective,
woi king talent, than was ever known before;
and here let me suggest to my old demo
cratic Iriends of Pennsylvania, not merely
the propiiety, but the necessity of keeping
their representatives longer in office than the
ustornary period always presuming that
they have proved themselves to be both honest
and capable. You send a man lo Congress,
and by the lima he has become versed in
the parliamentary rules by Ihe time h.e is
initiated into the modus operandi of transact
ing business at the publio departments for
the benefit of bis const ituents by Ihe time,
from frequent encounters, he has been shar

termed, out gf office. "The democratic doc
