The old German clock which hung in the wall, with its great weights and winding strings exposed, bad struck ten ere Polly rojfe from her work. She had just pushed hfer basket beneath the table, and taken op candle, when ihe front door was opened and two men entered. They were in ibeir stockings, their shoes having been left outside. “ —sh ! r uttered the foremost of the intru ders. **Speak but one word above a whisper and vou die on the instant. Polly recovered from her quick terror, and gazed up. She saw two stout, ugly, wicked looking men, one of whom held a cocked pss*oi towards her: she knew that the pistol would not be fired if she held her peace, as that would make more noise than she could make. And further—she recognized in the foremost man a notorious villain, who bore the name of Dick Gallus. She had never s**en him before, but ihe minute description her husband had gucn her of the man led her at cfi.ce 10 know him—and positively, too, for one big scar on the left cheek was mark enough. ?—whence. “What seek you, gentlemen?” asked Pullv, without betrawngthe least emotion. I “We have come to see Morton, the maii carrier,” returned Gallus in a hoarse whis per. '‘Where is he?—don’t speak ton loud.” “He i« long since aleep. Would it not do as well to see him in the morning ? I can find you room for lodging.” The fair hostess had said this for the pur pose of gaining time. She knew’ very well that these men had come to rob the carrier, and she was equally sure they would mur der him, if th«y could, and in all probability, put her out of the way as well. . They had learned of the valuable load he carried, and meant to carry it in his stead, in short, she not only knew th*»ir business, but very warning and threat to her were positive. “Never nvnd hts being asleep.

She did not open it until the robbers were close behind her. “Don't vou bear him breathe V 9 she whis- 1 pe?ed. “Ves,” re’urned both villains. And they did hear a breathing, but it was of the child. *As they thus answered her, she threw the door wide open—it opened inward. The men saw a dark void, but they pressed for ward. In an instant Polly Burnap leaped back—Gailus was upon the threshold, and bis companion at hts heels. Wnh all her power, the noble woman threw herself against the rear man, and the next moment both the robbers lay sprawling upon the cellar bottom. .This had been the door opening to the deep excavation, and the only means of egress was by a pe r pendicular Udder. Could ihis"'"have been moved, Polly would have pulled it up immediately, bui u was spiked ’o its place, and she roust let it remain. T*« close the door would be useless, for she had no ready means of fastening it. So she did uhat she resolved upon from the firs’ ; she sprang to the fireplace and caught her trusty nSe from rs becket, and having cocked n, she turned towards the open d<>or.

Yes, sir, that I was.” As soon as the noble woman was suffi ciently recovered, she told the whole storv. Morton expiessed his thanks as best he could, hut, after all, the moisture of his sharp grey eye, the changing of his coun'enance, and 'he very lack of language, told more than words could have done. After due deliberation, if was decided that the bodies should remain where they were till morning. So the cellar door was shut, the from door bohed, and they prepared once more to retire; bur for rhe rest of the night Morton made his bed upon ibe floor of the large room, fn the morning just as the carrier was dressing, there came a loud rap npon the outer door accompanied by a voice he knew full 'well.

Cheever and the Church of the Puritans, Dr. Cheever is the Isaiah of Ihe modern pulpit—the earnest, inspired preacher whose denunciatory cry, “Wo to Israel because of her sins!” falls so sternly on the ear of the ease loving and complacent public. Regard less alike of praise or censure—utterly deaf to comments, favorable or unfavorable, and devoted entirely to his sacred calling, he goes on his way striving with single minded ener gy to incite each man to take up the armor of the right. lit one of the pleasantest quarters of New York, opposite to the fresh verdure of Dmon Park, and close to the broad pavements of Fourteenth Street, the Church of the Puri tans rests its two abrupt lowers, with a man tle of glossy green ivy covering its base —a fine specimen of solid yet tasteful architect ure. As we pass into the deep cathedral gloom of the inferior, the first idea impressed upon our minds is that of the extreme simplicity— the subdued Puritan gravity of all the furni ture and surroundings of the church. There is no voluptuous blending of deep, gorgeous colors in the windows, as in the Episcopal churches, save the one oriel above the organ whose manv-tin'ed circles of radiance serves to relieve the sober hues around. AH the other windows ate of quiet pearl gray or stone colored glass, w f ith only a narrow band of purple, crimson, or gold color surrounding them, like a river of colored light. The pan els in the rear of the reading desk are draped w;ih leafy folds of dark violet colored velvet, and the cushions and trimmings] of the desk correspond minutely in style and tint. The dark and richly veined oak wood work add* to the splendid yet sombre effect of the whole interior. And this magnificent dwelling is the Church of the Puri ans !” Our thoughts instinctive ly revert to the bleak gray rock of Xew Eng land, as they frowned down, two hundred \ears ago, on the bark of the Pilgrim Fath ers tossing on the'siormy bay below. What a change since. Here is Dr. Cheever himself—a tall and slender man with black hair, dark arched brows, and deep cavernous eyes, full of intel lect and prophetic light. His features are strongly marked, with projecting brow and high aboriginal cheek bones—a genuine American style of fice—keen, acute, and beating that indescribable stamp of sharp, eager earnestness that nalurq always upon those of strong purpo&e and indomitablb energy. There is a deep and almost supernatural «ilence as the gifiod orai**r slowly rises. Is it not surpri-lng wha* a powerful influence fhis stern Ezekiel of the nineieen'h century exens »*ver his large congregation ? Wp'pre «ume there is not another man in ihe U«ned S ates—always excepting the hero of Ply mouth Church, who is. well known to be an embodied exception to everything—who is so determined in calling things by their right name®, proclaiming unpleasant truths, and bringing faults and backsliding* undeniably home to every member of his flock, as Dr. CheeVer. There »s uo escaping from bis piercing eye and uplified finger, no taking re fuge behind the sins of your next neighbor ; every man must shoulder his own burden, and account for every item of its bulk. Vet, in spi e of all this the personal popu larity of this divine is immense. His nature is formed to excite either sirong dNike nr passional admiration ayd reverence, and in the ureal majority o' yis congreg-mon the lat’er feeling predominates. Our readers will remember the famous *Dr. Cheever feud* of a short time ago, w hen a part of his church meml>er.«, not relishing some of his opimon 6 , formally reques’ed him »o resign, and the oth er part rallied eagerly around their beloved pastor, resolved to sustain him to the very lasi.

And hnw Governor Winslow would have drawn down the corners of his mouth if his wife had walked into church in a hundred dollar flounced robe ! And did old John Carver wear a diamond ring on hi 6 little finger?— And can any one enlighten us as to whether old Wilham Bradford wore his moustache in a.long born. or~cbr!ed n with bear's grease ? Perhaps, however/some of the “Puritans’* may be of opinion\|hal it would be more spir itually profitable for''Qs to confine our ai'en lion to ihe sermon instead of criticising the apparel of others. In that case we haveon |y to say that we perfectly agree w ( th th n m, only people don’t always live up to their theories. Do you ? Dr. Cbeever*s manner of preaching is usu ally free from mannerisms. He commences io a gentle, subdued way, as if he were ad dressing a single individual, and then as he warms with his subject, his face lights up, bis voice acquires depth and volume, and the glowing sentences spring forth one by one, like living creatures from the fiery crucible of his brain, overwhelming you, iis it were, wilh their force and strength, l|le forgets self, he forgets the upturned facts around him, and is only conscious of tho awful pres ence of the firing God! He bujilds up ar gument on argument with dazzling! logic, and hurls down fierce denunciations on'lbe wrong doer with merciless grandeur of stjyle. Such an orator is sure to succeed, for hh possesses one magic key lo every heart—jpe is ibot oughly in earnest. ! || . He sinks down, pate and exhausted, as the congregation pours out at the cilpse of the sermon. It is not easy to preaches he does, and he is weaving life and soul into the great work.

One after noon, one of the party, C., was silting strad dle of a trunk, with a glass before Him, Sha ving, and a pair.of stub-toed bools silling on the trunk beforethim—not such stubs as the fancy used to wear, but different in every way. You may from some idea of their shape by the doctor saying that “the shoe maker who made them was 100 poor to Buy' a last, and therefore must have made them over bis lap-stqhe.” C. had not been en gaged over five minutes when in comer one of the boosiers, very leisurely taken a seat and commenced,laking a good survey. After endeavoring to draw out one or two of tho parly, and findjng it “no go,” his gaze at leng h rested on our friend C.’s shoes.— Thinking he bad, a good subject for discours ing on, be said ij ' - ‘•I say, bow did the toes of them ’ar (pointing to; hlsiishoes) ever git drawed up so V C. got up arid looked at him a minute, and then, in a rather unpleasant lone of voice, said : ‘ Sir, I drove the loea of those shoes, as you see, by kicking men out of this tent for asking impudent questions.” The'fellow did not siay a great while after that, bu: moved out with bis face to C., with his eyes fined firmly on the stub-toed boon. During ihe exci'ing race between Wise and Flourney (or-the Governorship of Vir ginia, and w hen the contest between the Dem ocratic and Know Nothing parlies waxed warm and brought the people together in great crowos to li-ien to the “stump orators,” who w-ere haranguing in every county, an in cide it occurred in old Harrison'which a cor resp >ndent draws admirably : “A Democratic speaker was addressing a large audience, and descanting with great ve hemence upon the proscnpiive lenetsof Know noihingism with regard to foreigners, when his eye fell upon a~ little German Jew, a ped ler of readjvtnade clothing, who seemed to be very much impressed with the argument of the orator, and greedily swallowed every thing he uuered. This was 100 gnod nn np. ponunity not to be made the most of. Look ing the Irite (>edler in the eye, he exclaimed, “Furriner, didn’t you come to this country to escape from tyrannical, down-trodden Eu rope ? Didn’Mou flee to these happy shores to live in a limp of freedom, where the great rigbi of suffrage is guaranteed to all ?—Didn’t you furriner?” i He paused for a reply, when the little ped ler squeaked out, “No, Sur; I comes to dis countrie to sell cheap leady-made clothes.” The asloni-hmenl of the orator, the shout* and cars of the multitude, cannot be des cribed. The speech .was finished, and tho orator quit the rostrum cursing all foreigner* generally, and clothes-pedlets in particular.” A few days ago, a sailor at a railroad sla lion, waiting fur the next train, inquired of a bystander where he could gel some liquor.— A place was poin’ed out lo him, and he in quired if it was good. The answer was that it was sue!) poisonous stuff that it would prob ably k>lf. A few minutes afterwards the sailor called to a negro who was culling wood near by, and took him into the shop pointed out, where he treated him lo a drink. The bar-tender asked the sailor if he was not also going to drink, but received a negative answer, and both left. Very soon the sailor again made his appearance; called for liquor, and was asked why he did not drink when there before. He replied that he bad been watching the “trigger”—that it was just six minutes since he drank, and as the liquor had "not killed’him in that lime, he believed hq could stand it, and would run the risk.
