Oa the route to Longjumeau, so celebrated for its pastry, and for the Postillion of Adam, we find a little village called AntoDj. It waa there one eveniDg that a young man watch ed attentively before the portc cochere of an inn. He wore a hunting vest, and might have been about twenty four years of age. Ilia figure was well built, although elizht ; his hair and moustache dark, and bis large eXpreiteuve eyes were grey in color, an(j fall of fire. The person indicated was in fact DDe ll0-lnc. fellow, whose name was Frederic-Theodore Barberoux- Frederick was anxious to marrv, and was on the lookout for a good matcb. A handsome wo man, with plenty of money, and all the many luxuries money can pur- rhain was what be often dreamed of pospessing. At length the stage that brought the passengers from the station ar rived at the inn. Barberoux looked attentively at the occupants of the vehicle, and his admiration was most particularly excited by the appear ance of a young girl, who was ac companied by an elderly lady, who appeared to be her mother. Most of the travelers descended for refresh ments ; but the ladies remained in the coach. So greatly was Theodore impressed by the beauty of the young stranger, that b3 decided to proceed with them on their journey. Having arranged for his seat with the coachman he took possession of the same. A word of civility to the mother respecting bis dog, who lay at the feet of the young girl, served as a sort of introduction. "Henriette, raise your drees or the flounce will be greased," seeing the girl gently caress the dog, whose nose constantly sought her soft hand' "She is called Henriette," thought Barberoux. "I must endeavor, if possible to discover her family name, and also in what part of the country they live." The coach rattled along the road, and finally entered Longjumeau, where the travelers irradnallr de scended one by one as tbey neared their different domiciles. Frederick lingered, and finally remained alone with Henriette and her mother. At last the horses halted at the station, where a servant awaited the coming of the ladies A donkey stood be side her, and his bridle was held firmly in her band. Frederick aided his two compan ions to alight, and then with be coming courtesy bowed his adieux. Henriette and her mother had opened their umbrellas to shade them from the sun, and turned towards the road leading to Epinay, a little colo ny or hamlet containing one poor church and a group of bouses. On through Epinay they passed, and then crossed to the village of Villenoison. Barberoux followed at a certain dis tance, and at length saw them stop before an elegant country residence; the gate was thrown open, and tbey entered. Having gleaned this much infor mation, Frederick, still greatly inter ested, determined to remain in the neigboorhood at least until the fol lowing day, and slowly retraced his steps. At the inn be made inqoirv, and of the talkative host soon learn ed tha". Henriette was the daughter of Monsieur de vorby, who was re puted to be very rich. It was sup posed that Mademoiselle de Corbr bad never been in love. Tbe young girl was rarely seen in public, and when abroad was always accompa nied by her mother, who was con sidered proud and quarrelsome. Al though admitted to be ill-tempered, Madame de Corby was, nevertheless, mentioned as a woman ot good beart ana tina impulses; see was more over, faithful in tbe discbarge of her religious duties. As to Monsieur de Corby, be was a retired merchant,and was completely governed by bis wife. Tbe next day after tbe completion of as satisfactory a toilet as possi ble under tbe circumstances, Barbe roux Btrolled towards the residence of Monsieur de Corby, and on reach ing the house paced to and fro before tbe door. At length he saw a car riage drive op, and a man clad in black descend. On seeing a stranger he looked inquiringly. "Come here," he said brusquely ; "I wish to speak to you. Without offering a reply, Frederick obeyed. "I know yon," was tbe next word spoken hurriedly. "You do V responded Frederick, "yon tay bo ; but I am a loss to know who you are." Of tbe person in question people know verv little, except that ke was a doctor of medicine, and practice ; his science being that of tbe nino teeth century. Placing his hand on Barberoux's arm, the physician whispered these words: "You wish to court Mademoiselle de Corby J Yol love her." "How do yon know ?" "Through science, I know much." Without being naturally super stitious, Frederick waa a little dis quieted by the meeting with tbe set ESTABLISHED, 18537. PA., WEDNESDAY. airauger, auu tuo exercise oi Qis eiu gular power. ; "Allow me to ask,? inquired Bar beroux, turning away from the pierc ing gaze of the cold grey eyes, "do yon mean good or evil towards mef" "Neither one or the other," was tbe response "I shall guard your destiny, that is alL Now let me tell yoo. .The Corbys have passed from plebeaniam to nobility. If you will . s .t - - tr be influenced by me; if vou will act as the manikin and let me pall tbe strings, I will serve yoa." Impressed by tbe words ot the stranger, and cherishing the wish to win Henriette, Frederick yielded. "Come, enter with me," continued the doctor, as the servant opened the door. "Allow me to present to you," s&id tbe physician, addressing Ma dame Corby, "my. young friend, Frederick Barberoux, the hope of making your acquaintance induced him to come to Villenoison." The interview between Madame Corby and Barberoux was satisfacto ry. v hen tne visit was coociuaea, she turned to her daughter, and ex pressed herself as pleased. This voang stranger is an agreea ble man," she said, addressing Hen riette. "Do yoa not think so r" "Yes ; he impressed me as being agreeable," responded Henriette ; "and yet I do not like him." "As usual, yoa are absurd, and will at once retire to your room," was tbe angry retort Henriette obeyed, and remained in her apartment until evening. It was twilight when a young man entered the enclosure contiguous to the garden. o one had observed him. Beneath his arm be carried a book, which seemed to contain sketches. Patiently be waited, lis tening eagerly for a footstep. It was nine o'clock, when Lamule Ba-rne, for such was bis name, beard the gate open, and saw a figure glide into tbe enclosure almost exhausted ; he hastened to meet the one who ap proached. How late vou are," murmured the young man. " "I came as soon as I could," re sponded the trembling voice of Hen riette. "You have been weeping," resum ed Lamule. "No, I am only sad," whimpered tbe young girl. "What has happened, my darlin?: Speak, tell me all I cannot be alwavs gav, dear Camille," urged Henriette. "Whv even the birds do not sing through out the year." "Of whom do you think when vou are sad?" "Ot you, Camille, and sometimes I am filled with a feeling of remorse for having loved yoa so dearly, so tenderly." "Why should you feel remorse, my Henriette? Is it your fault that heaven created us one for the other? One evening we met here by acci dent I wa3 drawing tbe church steeple. When I saw you my heart was troubled. You looked at me and blushed. Then you disappear ed. I came the next day. You also returned, and again blushed. I trembled, and realized that I loved you. I offered you a flower, but why recall all this?" "Yes, I think eve loved each other," said Henriette, solemnly. "Your parents did cot know me," continued Camille. "I am a land scape painter. I loved nature as a sister ; you loved her also. Should your family not conset to our union, and disinherit yon, I shall always find work to do in some other land." Henriette seemed lost in a profound reverie. Steps were heard in the garden. It was Monsieur Corby, who always watered bis flowers by moonlight. Henritte made a sign to the artist, and fled a sad presentiment weigh ing on ber heart. Some weeks elapsed, when one af ternoon Frederick Barberoux was stopped on the place da Carrousel by the Doctor. Tbey talked f r a long time confidentially. Let us return to Villenoison, where we shall learn tbe subject of their interview. Matters bad progressed quickly. Madame Corby, influenced by the physician, bad disposed of her daugh ter's band. Haste was one of the many peculiarities of her character. Nothing remained but to sign the contract On the day appointed the Doctor and Barberoux arrived at Villenoison. Everything was prepared for tbe ceremony. Several times during the ceremony, Henriette seemed about to speak, to resist ; the cold glances of the physician controled her, and she remained silent; but scarcely was the formality concluded than she fainted and was carried to ber room, a night of suffering followed, and it was not until near dawn that she was relieved by a quiet sleep. : Tbe morning came, and feeling stronger, Henriette sought her fath er's room, and in answer to ber knock was bidden to enter. "It is I, Henriette, dear father," she said, approaching gently. "My poor child, yoa were ill last evening. My dear Uenriette,even now your forehead is burning with fever Do you still suffer?" inquired de Cor by, tenderly. "I suffer here," responded the girl, placing ber hand over . her heart The paia is great and most oppress ive." "Why do you suffer thus?" re sponded Monsieur tie Corby. "Because 1 have an incurable wound," murmured Henriette, sofdy. "Yoa need the advice of a physi cian." "No," interrupted tbe young girl "It is a moral wound ; no physician, even though bis skill be great, can help me." "Explain, aiy child. I do not un derstand," said de Corby, anxiously. "Father, it is this. I do not love Monsieur Barberoux, nor will I ever love him." Then, why not confess this to your mother ?" "I did ; bat it was useless to com plain. And this is not all. I lore another." The words were spoken in a scarcely articulate voice. "Another ?" responded de Corby. " Yes, I . love Monsieur Camille Biprne." MARCH 20, 1S7S. "Who is he, my darling?" inquir ed tbe old merchant "A landscape painter," murmured Henriette. "Have I ever seen bira ?" "o, dear father, our meetings have been stolen, for I dare not tali mr mother. So dearly do I love him " she continued passionately, "I will die if separated from, if I do not marry him." "Die J" repeated Monsieur de Cor bv. "Henriette," he continued, "since vou love this man 1 am sure he is honorable your love shall be blessed, my child. Your young life shall not be sacrificed." "You must speak to my mother," whispered the girl. "I will." "To-day, dear father ?" "Yes, to-day ; and yet it may be well to wait until to-morrow." "To-morrow would be too late," ex claimed Henriette. "Then, let it be to-night." "Why not this morning? -4s it fear of my mother that controls you, dear father V inquired the young girl, anxiously. "My child I confess that I dread to oppose your mother's will, but your happiness demands that I spea. I will not delay, but will at once as sert myself master of my own house," added de Corby. At this instant tbe door was thrown open, and Madame de Cor by entered, and at once addressed her daughter. "HenrieUe, I have been seeking you," Bhe said, in a tone . of annoy ance, "lou are not well, and should have remained in your own room." "I came," replied the young girl, to fulfil a duty." " hat duty V inquired Madame de Corby, sternly. "Ah, I see," she added, looking at ber husband, "you are conspiring against me." Mousieur de Corby made no re ply. "I only have conspired," said Hen riette. "What did she tell you, Monsieur?" continued Madame de Corby, author itatively. That she waa not certain that she loved Monsieur Barberoux," re sponded de Corby, timidly. "No, father," interrupted Henri ette, "I said I did not love Monsieur Barberoux, and that I do not wish to marry him." "And what was 'your reply, Mon sieur ?" "That I would not see her made unhappy." "Wby was not your answer more fitting? Why did you not say to this rebellious girl, a daughter's first duty is to her mother ? Such is my reply, and it is my will that Henri ette marries Monsieur Frederick Bar beronx, I will heed no opposition." With these worda Madame de Corby left the room abruptly. "My child, what can 1 do?" in quired de Corby, nervously. "Nothing," responded Henriette; ''bot I have lost all hope." On returning to ber apartment, Henriette wrote to Camille Bu'rne. Tbe letter contained these words : "Forget me, Camille, I will soon be the wife of another. The love we dreamed of so fondly exists often in an illusion that a breath may disperse. My family never would have con sented to our union, and poverty would cool the ardor of our senti ments. You loose little in losiog me, and you have learned a useful lesson in being able now to understand the inconsistency of human nature. Fare well." Woman's heroism gave Henriette tbe courage to write tbe words, but when tbe letter was sent, all strength forsook the unhappy girl. In the Church of Villenoison, on the following Thursday, the marriage of Frederick Barberoux and Henri ette de Corby was solemnized. The responses made by 'the bride were scarcely articulate, and when all was over a young man, a stranger, faint ed, and was carried from the holy ed ifice insensible. It was Camille Birrne. The evening of the same day Frederick Barberoux received a let ter containing these words : "Yoa are a coward. Knowing that she does not love, yoa have married Henriette de Corby. If yoa would know more if you would have me explain, meet me at the rear of the old church, near tbe cemetery Camille Bcernk. Without delay Barberoux left the bouse and hastened to the spot indi cated, and soon stood in the presence of Borne. "Who are you ?" inquired Barbe roux. "Your enemy," responded Ca mille. "What more?" "Tha Inevp nfTTanriotta Am Pnrhv " As Bu rne uttered these words the rustle of a light, quick step was beard in the long grass, and turning, tbey saw Henriette. "Would you kill me," inquired the young girl, faintly, gazing appealing ly at Camille. "Unfortunately," madame, replied Bu-rne, "there is one too many lov ing you. God shall decide which of as shall remain. Come," be added, addressing Barberoux. Without another word the men de parted, leaving Henriette alone with her despair. "I have pistols, bat we require seconds," said Barberoux, oa reach ing the spot where the duel was to take place. "Your second is here," said a voice, instantly recognized by Fred erick as that of the physician. It was quickly agreed between the two adversaries that they should fire at thirty pacea The ground was measured, tbe shots fired, and Ca mille Bu-rne fell upon the sod. A ball had entered his breast "The wound is mortal," said the physician, after having made a care ful examination. As the words were uttered a wild cry was heard, and Henriette, who had followed, rushed forward, and kneeling beside the wounded man, she raised him in her arms and laid his head upon her breast This is no place for yoa, ma dame," exclaimed Barberoux. "I command yoa to leave that man and follow me." "And I refuse Camille, dear Ca eralc mille, spea to me ; tell me that you forgive me." The eyes of tbe dying man were riveted upon her face, the lips moved, but no words escaped them. Sud denly the limbs quivered convulsive ly, and Berne breathed a faint sigh. "He will not speak to me," murmur ed Henriette. "He cannot," responded the physi cian, "he is dead." "Dead," reiterated bis listener. Then rising she turned towards Bar beroux: "You have heard, mon sieur, tbe man I loved is dead. Your band has robbed him of life ; hence forth we are strangers. When yoa ask where Henriette de Corby has gone, t&ere will be those who will ell yoa that in the convent of la Madelaine she awaits the coming of teace through death." Tha Ies Isitls. Two angels passed through the streets of a sleeping city side by side, their arms lovingly entwined.' One lit up his radiant countenance ; the other seemed to have a veil over his face, so thin that it was like a mist. yet thick enough to make his face a mystery. "Brother," said the angel with the veiled countenance, "brother, it is long since we met, how fares it with you ?" "au is weu witn me, but your voice na3 a sigh in it, what grieves you, brother ?" "Only this, that wherever I go there is a sound of weeping. Moth ers wail when I fold their little ones in my arms children weep when their mother rests her weary head on my besom sisters mourn when I re lease their brother from pain. If I might unveil my face, do you think tbey would fear me so much ?" As he spoke he raised tbe veil re vealing a face wonderfully like bis fellow angel, but a pensive expres sion instead of a joyous one. A teuder smile beamed from his companion's face. "Azrael, no twin brothers were ever more alike than we are. Here after we shall not be known one from the other, but the Master wills that yoa shall be a mystery so long as we walk tbe earth.' "Shall we be alike when our task is done?" "There shall be no more death. Yet angels cannot die. A little pa tience, dear Azrael." "And I shall be like yoa?" said Azrael, musingly ; "then I am con tent to be unknown while on earth if I shall be like yoa in heaven, for, I love you my brother." "And I you ; be of good cheer, brother, we are never far apart on earth, and shall be forever together in heaven." And tbe angels of life and death kissed each other as they passed on ineir way.

All that is known as to this point may be comprised in a few sentences. Hero, a man of considerable attain ments, who flourished in Alexandria, in the reign of Ptolemy Philadelpbus, stands pre-eminent as the first who reduced the power to a mechanical contrivance, of which he has given a description in one of his works. Still there is no account of Hero's appli cation of steam to arts and manufac tures, nor, indeed, any account of its power being applied to useful pur poses, until the fifteenth century, when Mathesias, an ingenuous writer, proposed to employ Hero's contriv ance to turn a spit In tbe sixteeath century, Solomon de Cans, a French engineer, proposed to apply the elastic power of steam to raise watter. and suggested a simple apparatus for tbe purpose, consisting of a boiler fixed over a fire, having a stand-pipe fixed in the bot tom of the boiler, its lower extremity terminating near tbe bottom of tbe water, and its upper extremity car ried some height above the top of the boiler. Tbe elastic force ot steam being raised by tbe fire, passed upon the surface of tbe water, and caused a jet to descend from the upper ex tremity of the pipe. The same princi ple is described in a work published by the Marquis of W orcester, in 16S3, entitled " A Century of the ames and Scantlings of Inven tions," in which he describes a meth od of employing tbe power of steam to raise water. Scotland seems to be entitled, how ever, to the honor of having fir3t re duced steam power to navigation in a practical manner, although France and England each claim the merit cf having made the suggestion that would naturally lead to the result mentioned.

I; is a long war ahead, but not too soon to begin for an affair of tbe magnitude of the entertainment in question.

The meal is expected to c st some thing over $30,000, and no profits to the caterer.

Tbe waiters will number 1,050 and be divided into centuries and tens. Each 100 will be under a centurion, and each gang of ten will be directed by a bead waiter. Each table will in this war be served bv ten waiters as promptly as thongh it composed the entire banquet Most of the food will be put upon tbe tables in domestic style, every tenth man, for example, carving for bis neighbors. Immense ranges will be built to cook the food, which is to be first-class ia every particular.

A writer says ot it: Difficult it ia to convey in words any picture of the stupendous scene. There is the river, some three hundred yards in width, flowing through soft wood land, its waters split into many glas sy currents, gliding round worn boulders and inlets, when instantly bed and banks are gone, and in their place are savage walls of gaunt rock plunging to depths eyes dare not look into, down which the shudder ing waters fall at four points nearly equidistant on the irregular curve of tbe rim of tbe abyss. From the lip of tbe precipice to the dark pools at its foot is an accurately measured distance of eight hundred and thirty leet, ana down tnis pro digious descent pour tbe four cats racts, each arrayed in its own spe cial robes of grandeur and beaoty. First on tbe western side is the Great or Rajah fall: a branch of the river runs over a projecting ledge, and no where touching tbe Titanic wall, which hollows in, descends in a state ly, unbroken column, gradually wid ening its shining skirts into a black, unfathomable pool eight hundred and thirty feet below. Tbe precipice runs backward, curving in an irregu lar bay, on whose farther side the fall, named tbe Roarer, shoots slant ing down a third of the height into a rocky basin that shoulders out, whence it boils out in a broad mas sive cataract, plunging five hundred feet into tbe same pool opposite its kindly neighbor. Leaving the bay, next on the gen eral plane of the precipice cornea tbe Rocket fall, running impetuously over the brim and down the face of the stupendous wall, to which it on ly just clings with a broad band of glistening foam-white water, speed ing its quick gushes, incessantly dar ting into myriads of watery rockets and vaporous arrows, with which all its volume seems alive, and pouring clear at last in a dense shining cur tain into its own pool.

The newly beun emigration of farmers from Indiana, Illinois and Iowa to Mississippi and Texas is at tracting much aitention in the West. Tbe movement is becomicg very general and thousands are going in colonies of from ten to a hundred families. Associations and commit tees are formed, agents are sent to secure places for the settlement, and the emigration follows. Tbe In ducements offered are, land of sur passing richness for comparatively small price, excellence of climate, and cheap negTo labor. The price of a hundred acres of Indiana land will purchase twelve or fifteen hundred in Texas or northern Mississippi. These new elements must do mnch toward shaping the future of the South. Kheemaklat, The shoemaker is a relic of anti quity, and lived and had bis being as early as the twelfth century. He was accustomed to hawk bis v;oods, and it is conjectured that there was a separate trade for annexing tbe soles. The Romans, ia classical timea, wore cork soles ia their shoes, to secure their feet from water, espe cially in winter, and, as high heels were not then introduced, the Ro man ladies, who wished to appear taller, put plenty of cork under them. The streets of Rome, in tbe time of Domitiaa, were blocked up by cob blers' stalls, which he therefore, caused to be removed. In the mid dle ages shoes were cleaned by wash ing with a sponge and oil; soap and grease were the substitutes for black ing. Buckles were worn on tbe shoes ia tbe fourteenth century. In Ireland a human skeleton was "found with marks of buckles on the shoes. Ia England they became fashionable many years before the reign of Jueea Mary. The laboring classes wore them of copper. Other persons had them of silver or coppergilt Not long after, shoes rosettes came in. Frasssl.
