Tu esp. are some of the sad and melancholy Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Paius in the Buckand Head, Dlmuess of Sight, Lo.-s of Mus cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy, Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con sumption, &c.

I Wonder what has become of her ; she must have married well, however ; she had a line chauco to choose, for there was scarcely a good match in Ihu city that was not at her command at one time. ' Ves, yes," answered the gentleman ad dressed Judge Hume, a distinguished, handsome, intelligent looking mau of about forty-live years of age ; a successful law yer, who had some years before bti rais ed to the judicial bench almost by acclama tion. "No woman could well have, mar- rieil oeltir than Heleti Van Horn.

"Do you mcau that she has never mar ried ?" asked his guest. "Married!" repeated Hume ; "no in deed. Aud in tliat way may be seen the moral of my story to which I have referred. Ikit do not let mo anticipate ; let us be'in at the begfnning." M linni an cngagc ...cuVWil'.Y(HlWs' v"i?!i Horn, as the scivant ushered me announced into the parlor, I found her engaged In an animated conver sation with a singularly handsome young man, who, I saw at a glance, might readily become a formidable rival, and 1 felt for an instant a fhurp pang of that unaniiable, disconcerting juss.ion, jealousy, lint as my entrance had been ' unobserved I was able to recover myself before saying in my blandest manner, "good evening." The gcutlcmau started and Millly returned my bow. As for Helen, with suffused cheeks she said, 'Why, -Mr. Hume, 1 did not hear you at all ; you tire absolutely as gentle us a lamb.' " ''Somewhat angry at her satirical tone, 1 observed that she was engaged it) couver what confusedly, looking from the stranger to me, "I had quite forgotten all about it, aud 60 promised Mr. Churchill here to ac company him to see liichelieu to-night." "I glanced toward the stranger, and he returned the glance with a slight frown on his face. Miss Van Iloru continued, 'Hut, oh ! I beg your pardon, gentlemen, I had lorgoltcn you were not acquainted Willi each other. Mr. Hume, this is my friend, Mr. Churchill, of rticlimond,' anil she care lessly fell back inlo the chair, from which she had risen for the moment." ''1 am very sorry Miss Van Horn has so treacherous a memory ; but hope Mr. Churchill with your approval cuu be prevailed Upon to defer his engagement, for I assure you the picture is A rare geiu, and well worth seeing. 1 persisted in this, because I had become slightly roused by tho honing!! paid her, and there seemed to be a gleiiui bf triumph lu tho face of niy rival. "The youug man looked at me gravely, then silently turned to Miss Van Horn lor some expression of her wishes. He was evidently much displeased at my interrup tion of their little tete-a-tete, aud was suill cieully interested u the htny to be serious ly rutlled by my seeming rivalry ; he was not altogether pleased with the fact that she seemed so careless with respect to her entrairenientA. which did not accord with his standard of women, lie. was an edu cated, comely young man, ot good fortune, acenstomud to be well received by women, and yet as he afterwards told me he could uot help for the moment some appre hension that the lady's volt) for the even ing might go against him ; for you know I was quite a lady's man in those days." "As for Miss Van Horn, sho sat nieaii while, demurely toying with a largo tassel suspended from the arm of her easy chair for a moment, as if iu deliberation, then exclaimed: "lteally, I am sure it must be very wrong in 1110 to bo so thoughtless, is it not?" Here a captivating smile illu minated her beautiful features aud parted bewitchiug lips, just discovering tho pearly teeth beueath them, and sho added, 'Will yotl not settle the question, geutlcmeu, be tweeii yourselves ?" "The nutter must bo arranged iu somo way, aud as I was tho most animate frieud of the family, aud my rival a comparative stranger, 1 was about to magnauiinoUsly withdraw my preteutious aud leave tho Held wheu, suddenly, there was a loud ring at the frout door, nud Miss Vau llorii started to her feet with the exclamation, 'Ah, that must me Mr. Do Slultus.

Mr. Churchill rushed into the hall, almost upsetting tho diminu tive Do Slultus, whom ho met, tho very picture of effeminacy and ultra foppish ness. 'Descending to tho sidewalk where the brilliant cquipago of De Stultus met our view, we both simultaneously burst into a laugh that ecemcd to break the ice between us, for wo walked ofT together for several squares. As I complained of a severe pain iu my eyes from tho blow I received, my companion snid, 'I hope, Mr. Hume, yon will pardon my recent rode persistence in my fancied 'ctasngeincnt with our fair ac quaintance and let us be good friends out of sympathy for the denouement. As wo are hero at my hotel, let us enter and driuk to tho tfood fortune of Mr. De Stultus.' "I gladly accented the invitation, and we Were engaged in a pleasant conversa tion, whm a loud noiso was heard in tho street, mingled With the cry of a woman in distress. "Suddenly starting to otir feet, we rushed forth to render assistance. The first object that met our sight wns Helen Van Horn, covered with mud, but happily more tretglitened than hurt. De Slultus was also iu a wretched plight, but too much engrossed, as might be expected from such A cieittuie, with his own mishap to give at least attention 10 his associate in misfor tune, whom he left to struggle to her feet unaided, and to make her way to the side walk, where her recent visitors met her, and where she hysterically explained how a huge truck, against which De Stutus's cuniugo had been carelessly dtiveu, had left them stranded on the muddy street, fortunately aud marvellously, however, without broken bones. "Churchill calk d u carriage and we es corted the wretched demoiselle hack to her residence, at the door of which wo con gratulated her on her lucky escape, aud bid her good night. "My new friend then proposed that we should drive at once to the onera. where he hoped to meet a party of his friends, to whom he would be pleased to introduce me, and in whose society we would lind solace for our disappointment in regard to Miss Van Horn. I assented. Churchill's friends were met as ho promised, and among tl ctn were two beautiful sisters, so attractive that they speedily drove all thoughts of a merely handsome uirl. su perficial and spoiled, like Helen Van Horn, out of the. head of Churchill as well as my own. A charming evening at the opera ripened into a serious altachineut oil the part of Churchill and myself for these sis ters, which ended in our marriage, and no one ever hud juster reason for saying : 'There's n Divinity that shapes bur cuds, Rough hew them how we will," than I have. And now yott know why I did not marry Miss Van Horn, and also how two men, for a moment about to be made enemies through the reckless, unscru pulous coquetry of an iuferior, heartless woman, by a happy stroke of furtuuo be came friends and brothers. ,..'A?,ftr Helen Van Horn, she still live. of her many conquests, finding her chief gratification for some years past in recount ing the various eligible oilers she had re fused, including always Churchill and my self among her rejected suitors. A heavy speculation into which De Stultus had been beguiled about the time of Miss Vau Horn's triple engagement for thc same evening, resulted so disastrously for him that her doors were at once rigidly closed upon that admirer, Who disappeared like a quenched meteor from society. Meauwbile occurred the death of old Mr. Van Iloru, which, as 1 have said, lull the daughter uo oilier attraction than mere physical beau ty, that had now become so "used that il ceased to please marriageable men, aud hhe was no longer able to make three engage ments for one evening.

I, for oue, hnvo good rea son to Know mat ins personal nnd oliicial integrity is above reproach. Late in the legislative session of last winter. J was tin willingly made acquainted with those who are now, nnti wero then, ni 'conspiracy against him, About nine o'clock in the morning, I received n note requesting my presence at one 01 me rooms oi the l.ocliiel. There I was introduced by oue of my con stituents, who it was subsequently shown, was one of Evan's securities, to Ocorgo O. Evans, accused of appropriating $291,900 of the State's moneys, to Dr. Payuo, tlie Attorney General Strohan, and others. These parties wished me to introduce to the House A Series of resolutions impeach ing the honesty of Hartranft in bis man agement of tlui nuilititii department, nnd of Mackcy, the chief of the Treasury. They Went into a long explanation Of their pro posed movement, and endeavored to pledge mo that if 1 became its Legislative cham pion, my nameshculd bo heralded through out tho State and nation as a "model re former." They spoke largely of their pow er and means, saying that they could con trol $300,000, uot for the purpose of pur chasing votes in favor of the resolutions, but as a moral support to the movement that this amount and this support would come through some unnamed channel of reform. They named many of the news papers that could bo freely counted upon to back the undertaking by glowing arti cles and such evidence as would at least wakeu suspicion iu the public mind. Among these newsnaoers were named the New York Tribune aud .Sim. the Philadel phia J'rc.w, aud liucaster, Harrisburgand 1'iltsourg journals ol largo liillueuce. An introduction of the resolutions would be immediately followed by flaming articles from these und other sources, aud, if ne cessary, thu question could be pushed iu the Legislature by speeches, aud evidence could be procured sul!!ctent to injure Hart ra nil's chances for a nomination' and elec tion. When asked for this evidence, a draft, a note, ono or two private letters, aud til books of V'erkes it Co. , Were shown. An examination of an hour convinced me that nothing in the least degree taucib'.e was produced, and subsequent develop ments have shown Unit every atom of testi mony bore only upou private ntld personal transactions that none of thertl were in any way connected with tile u?c of the Slate fluids. When the objection was urg ed they could not meet it, and the party plainly showed by word and :tel that their object was only to ca.-t ail improper suspi cionthis for purposes of their ownthis, as they were told, with a view to intimi date lUrltanft.lV'iiii :inv further tu-osccu-ans, hen asked to treat the conve.i-;:at011 as cotifulcutial, I told them that Hartrantt ought to know it ; that as a frieud I would tell him, and his after conduct would attest his guilt or innocence. Somewhat to my surprise, they then manifested a willing ness that he should be Informed of what had transpired, and then my suspicions were continued that the whole movement was desigued to scare him oil' from a pro per prosecution. I, however, told Hart ranft a few minutes after. His reply was : "These parties have, for the last twenty four hours, been tryintr to get some one to introduce their resolutions, and only last night they ollered me ir.j8.000 to withdraw the prosecution, and I refuted. The low est amount due the State may be based up on the decision or bail fixed bv Judge Pearson, aud that is JrlOO.tiOO. The suit shall not be withdrawn until tho State gets her due, rind if these parties want investi gation they cati have It." Then followed, not the introduction of Evans Co., for in common with myself every one approached refused to touch them, but those requested by llnrtr.inft, and thore which lead to the investigation, wherein llai trauft was unan imously acquitted, atld some of the Evans IlUK U.-1M.-.M..U.
