I Lad been stopping for a short timo iu the city of Jackson, Michigan, eu-gn-red in the capacity of a traveling reporter for one of the New York journals, when one rainy, disagreeable day, I resolved to visit the State's prison, in search of some items of in teresting news. I did so. After having passed through the en tire establishment, I was nt last shown into the cell of a young man doomed to suffer death. The occupant of this cell wag a fine. sad, intelligent-looking persanaga of about twenty-three year of age. His high, classical forehead, deep bluo yes, and noblo polite bearing, indi cated him to be no common villain. His face was thiu and pallid, but from those pure, expressive eyes flashed a depth of character, an unendurable sorrow, a soul destroying rotnorso, which no cold-blooded murderer could possess. At his first words, "Pray, be sealed," I was surprised at the deep, full, musi cal intonations oi hia voice. It at once proclaimed him a scholar. I soon entered into a long conversa tion with him, and littlo by, little learned the following sad but truthful talo, which I give, as nearly as possi ble, in his own language, and which I hope will prove a warning to the many weary, foolhardy thousands who are swiftly drifting into that fearful, whirling, domestic vortex jealousy. My name is George Melville. My father was a clergyman in the western part of this state, and descended from one of the best furuiliea in those parts. I received a good education, and at the age of twenty entered a large mer cantile house in New York city. I soon, by close application and indefa tigable energy, gained the entire con fidence of my employers; and after having been in their service one year, I was selected by them to visit the West Indies as their agent on some business of importance, and which would require considerable tact and forethought to execute faithfully and promptly transact. Previous to ray departure for those islauds I beenmo acquainted with a Miss Reynolds, who was a few years younger than myself, and the daugh ter of a gentleman who had recently purchased and removed to an estate near my father's. . Everything that was graceful and lovely appeared centered in her form ; everything that was virtuous and ex cellent iu her mind. I sought her haud.f Our souls soon became unite. I by the indissoluble bonds of sincere love; and as there were no parental or other impediments to our union, it was agreed that as soon ns I returned from the West Indies, whero it was expected my stay would bo short, the marriage solemnities would be performed. Sol emn oaths of love and constancy pass ed between us, and I sailed with a light heart for the West Indies. While there I received from her, and return ed to her, letters filled with the ten derest expressions of anxiety aud re gret of absence. Oh, that 1 had nev er, never returned 1 What pain, an guish aud remorse I would have been saved I The moment I got on land I hasten ed as fust as the railway train could carry me to the house of Mr. Reynolds, to see the charmer of my soul. She received me with all the arden cy of affection, and even shed tears of joy id ray presence. I urged her to name the day which wag to perfect our union and happiness; and the next Sunday, four days ouly distant, was a creed upon, for me to lead her to the altar, How did my heart bound at the prospoct of making Miss Reynolds my owa, of possessing in her all that could render life agreeable! I hastened home to my family, and informed them of my approaching bliss. They all sympathized in the anticipated joys which swelled my bo som. I had a sister some years older than myself, who had been the friend and companion of my angel in my absence. They were now almost every day together, so that I had frequent opportunities of Emma's company. Ono day she had been with my sister, at my father's ; and, as usual, I ac companied her home. On my return my sister requested me to attend her in a private room. We therefore re-, tired, arid when we were seated she thus addressed me: "George, you know that to promote your peace, your welfare, and your happiness has ever been the pride of my heart. Nothing except this could extort the sad secret which I now dis close, and which has hitherto remain ed deposited in my own bosom. My duty to a brother, whom I esteem dear as life, forbids me to remain silent. As an alicctionatOavsidter, I cannot tacitly see you thus imposed upon. I canuot see you the dupe and slave of an artful and insiduous woman, who does uot sincerely return your lovo; V MAY 21, 187G. nor can I see your marriage celebrated with one whose soul and n (lections are placed on another object." Here she hesitated, while I, with an guish of mind, almost insufferable, begged her to proceed. "About six or eight months after your departure," she continued, "it was' reported to Miss Reynolds that she had a rival in the West Indies; that you had there found an English be.iuty on wlrom you lavished those endearments which belonged of right to her alone. This nt first made a deep impression on her ; and whether from this cause, from fickleness of dis position,, or that she never sincerely loved y ju, I know not ; but this I do know, that a youth has been for some time past her constant companion. Je convince you of this, you need only visit the old, uninhabited house bor dering on the river, about nine or ten this evening, when you will undoubt edly surprise Miss Reynolds and her lover, enjoying one of their pleasant, loving interviews. If I should be mis taken, I will submit to your censure; but should you find it as I have pre dicted, you have only to rush from your placo of concealment, charge her with perfidy, and renounce her for fever" Of all the plagues, of all tho tor ments, of 'all the curses which torture the soul, jealousy of a rival in lovo is tho worst. Enraged, confounded, and astonish ed, it seemed as if my bosom would instantaneously burst. To conceal uiy emotions, I left my sister's apartments, after having thanked her for her in formation, and proceeded to obey her injunctions. I retired to my room, and there poured out my execrations. "Cursed woman 1" I cried "is it thus you requite my tender lovef Could u vague report of my inconstancy drive you to infidelity ? Did not ray letters breathe constant adoration, and did not yours portray the same sinceri ty of affection? No; it was that wretched passion for novelty which more or less holds a predominancy over your whole sex. To a new lover you will sacrifice your most sacred engagements, though mado in the face of heaven !" Thus did I rave through the entire day. The proceedings of that day are a vacuum in my memory. Every fiend in Hades was polluting its seared, bony fingers at me, and, with derisive, sneer ing laughter, and sarcastic tones, were ur jing mo on to "revenge." Through tho whole of that day I was a raviusr, frantic maniac. I was hopelessly and incurably a victim of that worst ot all passions, jealousy. Slowly the day wore away. At last the sun went down. Better for me had iteen possible for that bright orb to have remained immovable for all time. It was a beautiful summer sunset. The fust receding rays, us they lingo r- ingly res'.ed upon the topmost crest of the distant mountain, engulluig its base in a pall-like gloom, and slant ingly beamed upon the daueing, shim mering waves of the silent river, threw back a mixture of shade and sun shine which plainly told that night was approaching. Night, oh, fatal night! All nature was clothed in its most pleasant garb. Tho caroling of the birds, tho purling rivulets, grand old forests, majestic river and twinkling stars were all lovely. But in the midst of this soul en chanting scenery appeared a cloud, a mere speck at first, but which rapidly increased. Bright sheets id' lightning began to flash aloug the darkening heavens; and the low rumbling dis tant thunder, resembling the karsh growling of ferocious beasts, announ ced the coming storm. Larger and larger grew the clouds j louder and louder pealed the thunder, while the lightning fairly flooded tho gloomy heavens with a stream of electric light. And there I sat in my room occa sionally giving vent to outbursts of demoniacal laughter. Black and ter rible as was the scene without, it wng nothing to the Btorm of raging pass ions that were howling in my breast. The storm continued. A leep, hollow, distant roar auuouuced the approach of summoned winds. The wholo fur-e.-t bowed in awful grandeur, a from its dark bosom rushed the impeteus hurricane, twisting oft" or tearing up by tho roots the stoutest trees, and whirling the heaviest branches through the air with irresistible fury. Deep night now filled the atmos phere. The raiu poured in torrents; the wind rocked the building, and bel lowed in the adjacent groves; the river raged and roared ; fierce light nings rent the heavens alternately, involving the world in the sheeted flame of its many colored fires; thun ders burst with horrid diu, bounding aud reverberating among the sur rounding woods, hills aud valleys, until it eemed nothing less than the crash of worlds resouuding thromdi $2 VEll ANNUM. the-universe. Tho whole scene was majestically grand. I lie clock struck the hour often. I sprang from my seat and rushed into the street. The "trysting hour" had conic, but the storm without had made me oblivious to the hell within. The scenes, externally and internally, were wen-iuung 10 me dibck nna damnins; uueu x was mai nignr destined to per form. I was alone in the street. Not one ot the harpy inhabitants of that town dared venture out on such an eve ning as mat. jn l went, with a burning fever consuming my inmost soul. Ou and on, unmindful of the terrible aspect of the raging elements. The boiling, seething, turbuletit river, as it flowed angrily on, the howling winds; the lurid lightning, the loud bolts of thunder, were uncared for and unheeded by me. 1 arrived in view of the old house bv the. river sid T looked all was dark, silent and gloomy. 1 closed my eyes, clenched my hands, and swore by the black i i . - iieavens auovo mo to oe avenged. ; I opened my eyes, and a bright, lu rid fantastic lieht was streaming fiom ODe of the lower windows Tho lio-hf at first was so dazzlingiy brilliant mat ii, aimosi uuncicu nio. l crept steaillii v un nearer to the wmr nm j i -- , and there witnessed a scene which paralyzed every fiber in my organiza tion, and causod evcrv dron of blood to congeal in my veins. I saw Miss Reynolds closely locked in the arms of a young man elegantly dressed, aud of singularly delicate" appearance. They were earnestly conversing in a low tone of voice, and the hand of my fair one was gently pressed in the hands of the stranger. I drew close to the window, applied my eaT to a crevice, and, with tho fury of pande monium in my heart, I listened. The stranger clasped Miss Rey nolds in his arms. "Dearest angcll" he exclaimed, 'what an interruption to our bliss by tho retum of my hated rival." With very fond caresses and en dearing blandishments, she replied, ' Fear nothing. I have promised, and must yield him my hand; but you shall never be excluded from my heart. We shall fiud sufficient oppor tunities for private conference." I could here no moro. My braiu was on fire; and, rushing from my concealment, I, with a bouud sprang through the window and confronted them. "Ungrateful and false-hearted wom an!" I exclaimed. "Is it thus you return my idolatrous love? You have deserted me. You have perjured your most sacred vows; aud thus am I avenged !" and plncing a pistol at her breast, I shot her through the heart; and turning to her companion "And thou, perfidious contamina tor and destroyer of my bliss, go at tend thy1 companion in iniquity, a death too good for so foul a crime!" and immediately drawing my knifo, I stabbed him to the hilt in the breast. With the words, "Oh,. Gsorge! Your wife, your sister !" he fell faint ing to th a floor. My God 1 That voice! It rang in my car like a funeral knell ! It rings to-day, aud will continue to ring a requiem of agonizing remorse as long as time shall last. It was indeed my betrothed wife ; it was indeed, my belovl sister. The one lay dead before me, tho other weltering iu ber blood. I raisad my sister's head into my Inn. In a faint and dying voice she told me that iu a weak moment they bad concerted this plan to test my jealousy, blie had uesscd in male uiure, inicnaing as soon as i nan un covered them, to reveal herself,-and laugh at my discomfiture. "Forgive me, George," she pleaded, earnestly; "forgive me! A mad un womanly freak hns robbed me of the happiness of a lifetime." Sho said no more, for, with her arms cutwined loviugly around her murderer's neck, she, without a strug gle, was wafted on angel's wings to her Creator. What words can des cribo such agony, such utter desola tion as mine ! I5y one rash act I had robbed myself of moro than life, and I would not live to endure such bitter remorse as mino. I placed my pistol to my head, but ere I could fire, my arm was grasped by a hand of steel, and tho weapon dashed upon tho ground. My tiring liad awakened tlioso Iiv lug close by, and they came just in timo to save me the crime of a triple murder. I made no resistenco', and was con veyed to prison, there to await my triul, which cuuio off in two mouths. I was condemned to death.

A men MAS ON KICIIK.q. Tho following story, trnvs the Way side, is told of Jacob Ridgcway, a wealthy citizen of Philadelphia, who died many years ago, leaving a for tune of five or six million dollars: "Mr. Ridgeway," said a young man, with whom tho millionaire was con versing, "you are to ho moro envied than any gentleman I know." "Why so?" responded Mr. Ridge way. "I am not aware of any cuso for which I should ho particularly en vied." '"What, sir?" exclaimed tho young man in astonishment. "Why, are you jjot a millionaire? Think of the thousands your income brings you everv month !" "Well, what of that ?" replied Mr. R. "All I get out of it is my victuals and clothes, and I can't eat moro than ono man's allowance or wear more than one suit at the same time. Tray can't you do as much?" "Ah, but," eaid tho youth, "thiukof tho hundreds of fino houses you own and the rental they bring vou." "What better am I off for that?" replied tho rich man. "I can only live in one house at a time; as for tho money 1 reccivo tor rents, why. I can't eat it or wear it ; I can only us it to buy othor houses tor others to live iu. They are the beneficiaries, not I." "But you can buy costly furnituro and costly pictures, and fine carriages and horses ; in fact, anything you de sire." "And after I have bought them," responded Mr. R., "what then? I can only look at tho furniture and pictures and tho poorest man who is not blind cau do the same. I can ride no easier in a fice carriage than you can in an onunibus tor live cents, with tha troublo of atteuding to drivers, foot men and hostlers; and as to anything I desire, I tell you young roan that the less we desire in this world the hap pier we shall be. All my wealth can not buy mo a single day more ' of life. and can not purchase exemption from sickness and pain it cannot procure, me power to keep afar off the hour of death; and what will it avail when in a few short years at most I lie down in the grave and leave it all forever? Young man, you have no cause to en. vy me." Tho other day a Detroiter who has a good record of army scrvico took down his revolver to shoot a cat which had been hanging about the house. After lookiug at liim whilo he fired six shots, tho cat walked away. Whilo he was loading up for more destruc tion, tho shooter's son inquired, "Fa ther, did vou ever kill any ono while you were iu the army?" "I suppose so, my son. Alter a long pause the boy continued, "lhen you must have got near enough to hit 'cm with an axe, didn't jou?" It was then discov ered to bo about school timo. As a boy was going down a street in Boston, a woman opened the front door of a house aud called, "John, John, John!" As the boy paid no attention to the calls, a pedestrian said to him, "Here boy, your mother is calling you. "No she is u t, re plied the lad, as he turned the corner, 'Vhe's only my lather's second wif's and I want her to understand that sho can't ron me." An absent-minded editor having courted a girl and applied to her la ther, the old man suiil : "Well, you' want my daughter ; what sort of set tlement will you make? What will you give her?" 'jGivo l.er," replied the other, loekiug up vacantly ; "Oh, I'll give her a puff." "Take her," re. plied the I'atUr.
