The editor of the Chicago Times, having been on the north side of that city to see a friend, was recently prevented from teaching his home, in t'ons'(iience of a steam lug hav ing panned up the river with n siu.ill fleet of ve-g'-ls in tow, ouu of which bud been cast off and hauled in just west of the hridge, lea ving the draw" still open. While waiting he witnessed the following scene : The vessel we have mwit ioned was moored and made fast ontii!e of several en mi I boats : nnd we stood looking ut tli, men upon In r, one of litem approached a feni tle. who had been crouched upon deck, and nddreising her, pointed to tl.e shore. I hen to the bridge, ami then down towards the thronged at.d busy streets of living, moving, headlong Chi cago. Hhe rose, picked up a small bundle, from which she drew forth a eoin which she tendered to the hardy sailor. Jle refused it, whatever it was, and lending her 1 hand, helped her from the vessel to the dock, and from the dock up to the bridge. Hy this I time a large crowd of persons thronged the I north end of where the bridge would be if it ; were ulnavs a bridge ; and in contcmplat ir.g (he new bices, and the representatives of the various classes there assembled, we hud al most lorgotteii the incident we have ri-'ated. Our attention was called Ironi the vain en leuvor to discover some ceSMitioti of tugs go. iug up and down, nnd brigs and schooners pulling in and out. by hearing a most audible soli from some one near us. It was not the , Soli ol t'liililhooil, caused l,y some sudden change from gayety to gri,f; it as the sob of some mat liter breast, tilled with a sense of loneliness and despair. It reached other cars than ours. A lady dressed in a manner which bcpolcp it wealth that could gratify taste nnd ele gance, and who, like ourselves, was detained at that place, stood near accompanied by three children, whose desire to gel at the ex treine edge of the pint form she with di(Tirully repressed. Wilh a woman's tendei u-r her heart recognised the stiffl-d ebullition nf sor row, and approaching (he perou from whom it came, who was none other Ih.iii the woman we had just seen land from 1hn vessel, she quietly, and in that soft sweet voice of woman which none can resist, inquired if she stood in need, or was she ill, or was her sorrow such that she could not be relit veil. A portion of the railing near us was vacant, ami toward that and til most at our side these two women c.itno to converse. The stranger was it fair. handsome girl of nbont seventeen years: neatly but coarsely dressed, wilh shoes not only well worn but heavy, and unsuiled as nun b lor her sex as fur the season. The poor girl, in honest simplicity, nnd with un eariwstiiess which despair alone can imparl, related lier hiMory, uninterrupted by a single observation from her i-oinnuion, but ol'ten accompanied by the te.irs of both. We baxv not space for it at length, but we will give it. changing its order just enough to eiiulde us to slate it briefly. She said that she, was born ill Host on : she had no brother or sistwr now; she remem bered that she had a sister, the oldest, whose iiainii was Lir.7.ie ; that sister, years ago. against her father's will had married, nnd with her husband having been banished from her father's sight, had gone off nid had lint been beard of since no doubt was dead. At the time of her sister's mnir'tage her parents were wealthy. I he prnle which drove uwav Lizzie had brought silent regrets, nnd after awhile fame melancholy complainings by the mother sighmp; for the embrace of her first born I hese soon led to anger and crimina tion at home, and dissipation by the father abroad. Losses came upon them, and at last. gathering the few remaining coons they pos sessed, they left the proud city ef their birth, and settled live year ego upon land parens sed of the Government in Wisconsin. Her brothers, torn older and some younger than herself, one by one drooped and died ; and soon the mother, calling in agony upon her long exils1 daoghter, joined ber nova in happier clime. None were now left but the father and the poor girl. He too wni horn, bled and stricken by the slow but certain dis tal which lights op the cheek and Crep the eye wiui too bnuianey ol twJU, even wben ita victim it on the tonflnee of tern!y. . . ITe would sit and I ell Ivi hit sirvivlnft rhitcr the nets of winnine love nnd sacrificing devo tion which had made his Lirr.ie the very oh. ject of his liTe. He would talk of her sweet smiles nnd hnppy disposition, tinlil memory would lend him to the hour when he bid ber lo depart, nnd not let him see her fice again. His decline wns rapid, nnd this lone child saw the flowers which the warmth ofSprine; hnd railed from the soil of her mother's grave disturbed, uprooted and thrown aside, that his iishe itduht mingle with those of the mother nf his children At his death he chnrged her to pay off, n far as she might be able, the debts incurred to pioclire the necessaries of life. The land, which ftom want of culture, had not increased in value, was sold, and b'ft ber but a few dol lar. These nhe expended in rearing some boards to mark the spot where the. had seen buried, one after another, ber beloved kin dred. She hnd heard of Chicago, She bod beard that, ill this rity there were offices where strangers wishing employment could find work. She hnd on toot traveled mnii miles, until she reached Milwaukee, nnd thence by the kindness ofn poor sailor, who hnd seen her day after day on the dock, watching (he steamers depnrt. bad inquired nnd ascertained that she wisl cd to come hith er, hut had tint 1 le money. He brought her to Chicago on hi own vessel, and had told her that by crossing the bridge sbp could find one of those places where situations were giv en to worthy applicants. Kneh was her story. She hnd mentioned no name except tbnt of r'M her, mother, nnd ihe very endearing rpp. tlntiiins of brother George, Willie, Ac. Tbith of the women were crying bitterly. The fashionably dres sed lady turned her face toward Ihe river, that her tears nt such n crowded and unusual place might not be observed. She requested its to lake her two boys George and Willie she called (hem by the hand, to keep them from danger, and then putting hpr hand nrnnnd Ihe neck or the poor wandering or phan stranger, said : " You are my own sister. I am Lizzie." These two beings, children of the Fame pa rents, bow different have been th"ir paths, nnd how deep their stiffi-riiigs. Wo have seen them together in "Lizzie's" carriage, driving along Lake street. They are doubt less as happy ns their bereavements, relieved only hy the consciousness of duty faithfully performed, ran permit. Hut wlile the suffer ing of that father and mother may be fainlly known from the story of the daughter, what must have been the mental agony of that other daughter, unkindly banished from her mother's side, nml driven out into the world without a father's blessing? What must bnve been her grief when her letters written from a prosperous city, from the boner of her weal thy and kind husband, twllinsr them Of ber success nnd the birlh of her rhildri n. were unnoticed and unanswered? She must have felt indeed that Iho heart of that father nnd mother, her sisters ami lro;!.' is, must have been hardened against her. We will soy no more. That scene will live in our mi inory while we can lemendnT lle lio'y lovo of a father, mother and kindred. A WOMAN MUUtlrDIO A WOMAN. A person wns brought up before the Volice Court, nt Syracuse. N. Y.. the other day, on u charge f wearing male uppari I. while be ing a feinali of uoiking love lo the Syra cuse belles, "on false pretences," nnd marry ing a woman. Sir. There is no doubt of ln r femininity, though her ronnteili it of u nwn is said to have been perfect. She is English, is supposed to be ubont 4(1 Jenrs of age, went under the name of Alfietl Gtielpb, and re. reived remittance from England, part of which goes to the support of a sister in Sy racuse. In reply to the question. "Are yon" it male or female?'' she answered.' "your offi. ccrs can tell you, or "have tohl you." She refused lo give any mi re direct answerto Ihe inquiry in relation to her sex. and was cem nutteil for further examination. Tl.e Stan dard learns that : A few weeks since she. assumed the garb of a man, and untile the acquaintance of a young lady, named Miss Lewis After n brief courtship they , re married by the Rev. Mr. Gregory, of the Epiropal Church., ami the parties have since it mailied together ns husband and wife. The marriage eeremo. ny wns pciiorimn nnoui inree weeks since, and the bride's full er, suspecting there was something wrong about his new son in law, obtained u private interview, ami infi need her of his suspicions thulsh was not what she pretended to he. Af "first she claimed that she wns a man. but. en closer question ing, finally admitted that sl.e was a female. A partial examination was made at this time hy the fitthcr-in-luw. and I e immediately ar r sled ber. aud placed ker in the wuteh house, where she has remained since Saturdav eve. nitiL' last. We have not learned the proper name of this sinful. il woman. She is about 40 years ofage. with marked features, prominent nose, high cheek hours, black hair, worn long, (for a in an ) and curling at the end and apparent ly brushed and oiled with care. She wears a glazed rap, blue roaf, b!ue shirt, dark vest. snuff rolored pants nnd gaiter hunts, and a shawl over her shoulders ; speaks wilh con siderable confidence, but is not very com municative ,i is understood that wlen this eccentric woman first came to the house of the bride's father, she w.is dressed in female apparel, and her clothing was changed to mans nttire. with the Knowledge ol the lam- ilv. 'I b probability is. that the family sup posed her woman's dress wa a disguise, nod tbnt she was assuming the proper habiliments of her sex. The bull's father was averse to the match, but lite bride still clings to her woman husband, and claiuis-that the urrest is a ronspiiacy against I hem. They were allowed to meet in one of the unte-rnoms of the Police Office, nnd embraced each other wilh the greatest marks of affection. The Justice, ns we have already remarked, reman ded ber Tor further examination, as it is un derstood that other charges will probably be Drougni against uer.

A month elapsrd without tidings of the missing ten-pounder ; but nt length, in tho dusk of the evening, the attist was summoned into bis painting room, nnd there found his confidential agent. "Well, Hill, quoth the former, "any uawg about the dog? 1 have given it np I" "Ob no, don't sir," wa the reply, with n wink. "I do ren'ly believe I've got Lira at last.

Half an hour's Inpse saw this little stroke of business complete, nnd the dog nnd rash exchanged. "Well, now, my man," said the nrtist.
