"Suppose I shouldn't - fancy him Well
enough to accept his proposals, uncle 1"
asked Matilda, demurely. ' -
"If you should dream of such a thing as
refusal, I should disinherit you. You are
aware,' I suppose, that all -your nronertv
comes from me, and that I can, at any time,
recall n, . . . ;' f. in i'r.
That would be a nitv. certainly." said
Matilda, in a lively, strain, "for I should
havo to take in washing, or something of
that kind, to support myself, and I have
such an appetite 1" -
Mr. Parker smiled in spite of himself, and
evidently looked upon his niece as one who
would readily yield to bis expressed will. .
"One question more, uncle. Suppose he
should not fancy your humble niece, and
conclude to pay his addresses elsewhere ?"
"I would never speak to the puppy again."
"And you wouldn't disinherit me then,

"Of course not, you gypsey

"It would be' mortifying to have him re
ject me," said Matilda, demurely. . ."Is there
anything he particularly dislikes in a wo
man, do you know t"
"I once heard him say he couldn't bear a
literary woman," said her uncle, after some
reflection. "All sorts of strong-minded wo
men are his aversion. But then you know.
LMattie, you are not strong-minded."
"Tnanic you, uncle, very much. That Is
as much as to say I am weak-minded."
"No such thing, you gypsey. But there's
one thing more I have to tell you, and that
is, that I am called away so New-York by
business, which will dutuin me the full
length of his stay. So you w:ll have to en
tertain him yourself. Mind and play your
cards well, and I shall expect to find the
marriage day fixed when I return.'
"O dear, what shall I do with the horrid
man for a whole week "
"I dare say you will be dead in love with
him by the time I get back. You may re
member me to him. when he arrives, and tell
him bow much I regret not being here to
welcome him." J
That night Matilda kept awake for some
time, concocting a plan which might offend
the prejudices of tho expected visitor, and
throw the burden of a refusal upon him.
For she well knew that if be once proposed,
her Uncle would be seriously angry if she
rejected him, and very possibly would carry
out tho threat to which ho had given utter
ance. It was about twelve o'clock, the next day,
that a tull young man, of .serious aspect,
ascended Mr. Parker's front steps, and rang
the bell. He was ushered into the drawing

was joined by Matilda.
The young lady was by no means looking
her best. Her hair was loosely arranged,
her collar was awry, and there was a very
perceptible stain of ink upon her finger. .

Mr. Jenkins. ' . . , . . . .

Mr. Jenkins looked terrified ; but before
he had time to raise any objection, Matilda
had commenced.
She read aloud faithfully for tho hour re
ferredit scorned three hours, to the un
happy Stephen who had not the slightest
apprehension of poetry and description.
lie was quite delighted when the dinner
bell rang, and so was Matilda in , her secret
hesrt. ., ',.;.'',
"I am afraid," stiid she, "we shall have to
rest from our reading till after dinner, but
by commencing, immediately afterwards we
may get a quarter through by tea time."
"How many pages are there in the poem?"
the young man inquired hesitatinglv.
"Only a little more than four hundred,"
was the encouraging reply. - .
The dinner proved to be not a very social
meal. Matilda confined herself entirely to
literary subjects, and evaded all attempts to
change the topic.
"Uood. Uracious 1" thought the young
man, "and this was the young girl I wsb to
marry. I'd as soon marry a dictionary, al
though she is pretty, but then she is a strong
minded woman 1 I should be talked to

Stephen Jenkins stopped two davs : but
at the end of that time, announced that he
should not be able to remain longer. Du
ring that time the poor man had heard more
poetry than ever before in his life, and had
conceived a deadly hatred against the whole
triDc ot teniale authoresses, particularly Mrs.
Browning.
"Where is Mr. Jenkins?" inquired Mr.
Parker on bis return. n .,
"Gone, uncle," said Matilda. ,
"Gone! When did he go ?" '
"lie only slopped a couple of days."
"Why, ho was to have stopped a week.
What was the matter with him ?"
"I think, uncle, he was disappointed in

"Did he leave no message for mo 1"
"Hero is a note, uncle 1"
Mr. Parker hastily broke opeH the mis

position that nai made of the Ho
len Property.
' There is now little or no doubt that the
loading operator in the recent gigantic rob
bery ot bonds from Mr. Lord's office in
Wall st,, which created such a stir at its oc
currence, haa been taken into custody. He
was arrested by City Marshal Westcott, of
Newburyport. and two of United States
Marshal Murray's detectives of this city.
. Tho manner in which the shrewd thieves
brought their plans of robbery to a tempo
rary success was somewhat as follows : It
wm first, ascertained that Mr. Lord kept in
bis safe an unusual large number of availa
ble securities, that be was rather careless in
locking them up at night, that be seldom
looked at the boxes containing them, and
that a certain number of days, two or three
at leant, might, elapse after the robbery be
fore they wuuld bo missed. Several plans
were ooncoeted and abandoned, each one
involving a new party, until tbe cumber f
sevHi were entrusted wan the secret.
Horace Brown (u be ia called), the prin
cipal operator, was selected to do the finer
portion of the work. He visited the office
several timec and ascertained the precise
situation of affairs, learned the bshita of
Mr. Lord, and soon ascertained that be
could easily approach him . on soma business
pretext. On Wednesday, tho day of the
robbery, lirown and . three accomplices
placed themselves bear the door or the xtl-
nee, The door of be safe at this time
stood wide operand Mr. Lord wm at his
desk, Brown entered, and made an ex
cuse that he wished to rent an ffica for the
purptwe pi doing a commission DuaineM tu
bops and making advances upon this staple.

, own eye. could Command the door, and be
gan talking very earnestly to Mr. Lord.
Having secured that gentleman's undivided
attention he gave the signal to his accom
plices, who entered suddenly and noiBless
ly and abstracted the boxes, Brown at the
asm time moving his feet to create some
noise, and speaking mora , emphatisally on
the hop question. As it is no unusual mat
ter to see tin boxes carried aloog Wall st. at
any time of tbe day, these were taken with
perfect impunity. Brown left directly af
terward and joined bis comrades.' ,-, The
bonds were then taken to a secure place end

To make each man secure it was proposed
to divide them into seven parcels, making
about the sum of $215,000 to each roan.
This.being done, arendevouis was appoint

cording to circumstances, the parties should
meet and negotiate for their return. The
first thing was to await the announcement
of the reward, which they were certain!
would bo offered. This done, the next mat
ter was to fix a time and place where the
seven could meet and negotiate the return
of the property. Boston was the city chosen,
and March 23d the day named for tbe gath
ering of the precioua assemblage. It is
stated that so mo negotiations were already
pending when the Marshal's officers arrested
one ot the parties.
City Marshal Westcott of Nowburyport,
Mass., received information relative to tbe
whereabouts of Brown that led him to sus
pect that that person was in some way
mixed up in the great bond robbory. As
he wanted Brown upon another charge he
thought it would do no harm to look after
hiin. He accordingly started .for New York,
gathering information as he went, and as
certaining that Brown wm in this city, and
was then contemplating to go to Boston, he
applied to United Stales Marshal Murray, of
this city, for assistance. Tho officers detail
ed for this business met their man at the
New-Haven depot on Monday night week,
satchel in hand, and followed him over to
Boston. The arrest was made on tho cars,
but as Marshal Westcott could hold the
prisoner on a charge at Newburyport, ho
was taken there at ouce. Detectives Heath
and Joiies of Boston were then sent for, and
had an interview with the prisoner. Mar
shal Murray was telegraphed by bis men
that the man was in custody, and Chief
Young was also sent for. Brown confessed
his guilt to tbe officers, and teemed to make
no scruples of bow ho had done the job.
Chief Young came on armed with a power
of -attorney from Mr. Lord to act the same
as if that individual were present; but all
attempts at negotiation for that time failed.
Brown's terms were terse and plain; he
stated thai bo knew tbe location cf the
bonds, that they could only be brought
back through him, and that the price he
demanded for tlivm was (100,000 cash and
bis liberty ; otherwise they might send him
to prison, and the bonds remain hid until
doomsday. Chief-Detective Young return
ed to New York, leaving tho prisoner still
iu custody at the Ocean House. On Thurs
day night he left New York again for Bos
ton, j
Tbe man Brown, whoso real name is sup
pressed at the request of tho police, is a
man of so marked an oppearanoe as to ex-1
cite attention at once. ' lie is about five feet
eleven inches in height, hns dark hsir and
sharp piercing eyes, a broad, round, full
face, a very pleant expression of counte
nance, large moutb, has a strong, sonorous
voice, is full-chested, weighs about 150
pounds, and is about thirty years of age.
He is of genteel address, entertaining in
conversation, tells a story admirably and
lauuhs very loud and hearty when moved
to humor. He appears perfectly indifferent J
as to bis lute, having given torth his ultima
tum and waiting to hear the result.
Tbe caso is certainly a curious one, and ,
wilj probably become more deeply interest

, SLEEP,
For tbe real cause of sleep, learned physi
cians and wise philosophers have lepen un
able to account. When night, with its si
lence and darkness, comes on, the wearied
mind and muscles voluntarily exclude the
operation of the senses the fibres of the
brain collapse to throw off a superabundance
of blood, aud we Bink into repose, more or
less refreshing, depending on other influen
ces, to which we are subjected in sleep.
The senses locked in healthful slumber,,
the mind hears notbincr, sees nothing, aud
the brain and wbolo system, are rcircsuea
thereby. Tho mind and the muscles are at
restj but tbe heart continues to propel
the bloou through too system uigestion,
insensible perspiration, and respiration, con
tinue, and the senses awaken to renewed
invigoration and activity. Butdo all ex
perience this vigor from sleep? No ; for re
freshing sleep depends upon many influ
ences, i .
As respiration continues in a sleeping as
well as a wakeful state, we must have pure
aif to breathe by night to render sleep in
vigorating. This msny forget, and shut
themselves ' in a close apartment, without
any mode of ventilation. Their rooms,
many times are not aired through the day,
and sometimes, over and over again, they
are filled with the smoke of a pipe or cigar.
Sleep, in such poisonous air, is disturbed
and restless, the breathing hurried, oppres
sive, and languid ; the hesrt flatters ; tbe
roiud and braiu disturbed and dull; the
mouth, throat, tongue, lips, and stomach
experience a diagreeable sensation, the in
dividual not thinking all this whilo what
was the cause. : Every effect haa a cause,
and this cause needs to bo removed to re
move tho effect
Healthful respiration, either in a sleeping
or wakeful state, cannot long be performed
by any breathing animal witaout pure air.
For this wm man and all breathing animals
furnished with lunge and air cells. At
every respiration air is iuspired and ie
spired. The inspired air should contain its
natural qusotity of oxygen, to purify tho
blood m it circulates U rough the lungs.
All apartments that have cot means for
ctnstantly admitting outdoor air are filled
with respired air, or air that .has been re
jected by the lungs as unfit to uuuriah the
system. . ,'
If for want of pure air, this ia breathed
over again, it causes many injurious symp
toms. This Important fact .cannot be too
forcibly impressed upon tho minds of all.
All sleeping apartment need to be m large,
high, dry, and airy possible. When air is
admitted into them' from windows, they
ought to be si the foot of the bed, or dwi.
ly so. In all caeca tbe air should not be ad
mittedat the bead of the bed. In such a case
a person might Uk t fatal cold; for 1 ?
