Just then, on my pinnnclo of glory, I thought so too, and looked forward to this ball with exulting feelings. I sprang off the table, and as Mr. Bannister caught rr.u in his arms he observed, with n merry twinkle in hia round eyes, that '-'twas well lie was on old man." Ho glanced at Lmiriston as he added, pointing over his shoulder at him, "He wouldn't approve of your playing such pranks with a certain friend of ours. My niece Mar tha tittered inordinately.

Captain Vernon dropped my hr.ml, and said something so light and gay to Major I.aitriston thut my blood curdled. 1 tried to tnovo towards him ; I was entangled in that whit? bough Tho hravy pot fell upon me, and I remember nothing more but a confused murmur and horrid luces crowding over me front which I cou'd not escape.

At last there was an end of this phantasmagoria ; I was lying in the white bed nt Beccealey.

It was a weary lime. 1 felt 1 could never get better while tho interview with my husband yet hung over me. One evening, when 1 awuke from a jiaitiful dream, 1 saw his shadow on the wall.

He glanced at me, and said horridly "Who brought yon thalt" "Ellis," I answered, without moving a muscle. "Kose," but I could not look nt him. Ho held out hit arms, and again murmured "Rose." I rushed into his embrace. I pour ed out my heart into his bosom. I forgot that it was him whom 1 had offended. I only felt my own tti-snlulimt and his sympathy. 1 laid bare my very soul before him. When 1 grew calmer, nnd cunld lio still on his shoul der, he told inn in broken whispers of u bit ter disappointment that hnd saddened his early life, how it had withered his youth, and made him in his manhood n stern, harsh being. How. when he saw me, he felt the loiijr-bcnnmlHMl lile in Ins litnirt spring up again ; how he had brightened himself with the hope of winning my love, ns n blessing that was to outshine the dnikocss of cam tinhappinpss. He broke off suddenly, and said in a low voice "Your father is down stairs, I came up to sav he wished to sneak to von. 1 stiirtKil up. 1 knew then, that a gulf yawned between me and mv best menu.

The attempt to put nit end to the Congres sional investigation, by arresting Keeder, having proved an utter failure, a new turn has been given to affairs. The United Stales Marshal has issued a proclamation, cf which tho following is a copy : "Proclamation to the people of Kansas Territory :" Whereas, certain judicial writs of arrest I have been directed to mo by tho First His ! trict Court of the United Bute., Are., to be j executed within the county oT Douglas ; and, whereas, an attempt to execute them by the 1 United States Deputy Marshal was violent- i ly resisted by a largo number of the citizens 1 of Lawrence, nnd ns there is every reason to i believe that nnv altemnt t'J execute these writs will be resisted by a large body of arm ed men ; now, therefore, thu law abiding cit izens of thu Territory are commanded to be and appe rat Leeomptor.. ns soon as practi cable, and in numbers sufficient for thu prop per execution of the law.

We con fess onr inability to see the end of this trou ble. Some of the newspaper correspondents of tho Free State iturtv say thut Messrs. Howard and Sherman, tho majority of the Congressional Commission, desire Keeder to submit to arrest rather than have the inves tigation stopped. If this be true, they aro unworthy cfflie position they hold. Keeder was not charged with any crime. He was summoned before the tira'nd Jury at Lecompton as u witness. and the object was to keep hiui dancing at tendance there in order to prevent his prose cuting his own case belor'j the Committee. Keeder was privileged against arrest under the Constitution of the United States, for lbs reason (hut he was a claimant to a seat in Congress, aud was engaged in centesting it with his opponent before a tribunal appoin ted by the House. The propelling of J udce Lecoinpte was vinh nt and incendiary.
