YOL. Y. smalfaod secluded establishment prevented him from receiving guests, except when in vited. His friend thought him jealous, and ac quiesced ; hill it excited rather than discour aged him, and he sought every occasion to etude the prohibition. A few days after it had been given, he made some pretext fof calling in the evening, and succeeded in es tablishing himself in the little drawing-room. Here he endeavored to talk to the lovely shadow more than was the custom of Monk ton’s guests. It was necessary lor him to bear the chief burden of the conversaiion, for he got few words from her, and almost fewer looks ; and, in order to keep conversa tion alive, he told anecdotes and described scenes to which she gave a mere passive at teniion. was walking,” said he, “with only one person along the edge of the cliff 1 have de scribed to yon. The sea was many hundred feet below us ; the precipice went sheer down to its brink. On a sudden a great layer of rock seemed to unjoinl itself from the rest, and a rent yawned between the ledge we stood on and the main mass of the mountain. My companion sprang into my arms. I feel her now.” ‘•Oh, no, no !” cried Umbra. “That is a dream. J know it is a dream. Don’t speak ; but is not it a dream?’’ At Umbra’s voice, at her most unusual manner. Dr. Monkion started up, and then ran tn her. and received her in his arms. “Oh, Monkion, I can not bear to bear any body else talk of that dream. It seems to become real again. His foot slipped just on the very edge!” “O God! who told you that 7” cried Provost, in the most vehement agitation. She looked up, and full at him, when she heard these tones of his voice, screamed aioud and shrank into Monkton’s bosom, pressing her hands on her forehead. Pro vost was no less agitated. He would have seized her hands; but she turned away from him with such agony of fear that life seemed unable to support it, and, gathering herself closes into Monkton’s bosom, she fainted like one dead. He carried her from the room, and would suffer r|o one to hear the words of reviving consciousness from her lips. But from this moment he could no longer repress the idea that Umbra had been the wife of the man. Xet he did not allow it to separate her inter est from bis. The grave itself had given her to him. He had devoted ail the affection of his soul to hsr. Any right to claim her by another be cast off as a weak pretense, which, if she should urge, would be more proof that she loved another belter than she did him. This was the idea that people said haunted him, and, in the fury of his jealousy and bis love, be made it the sole question between himself and Umbra. She, in the mean lime, with purer instincts, saw the same idea very differently. With her it was a wandering notion, which terrified her like some dreadful phantom. Her love for Monk ton had absorbed every faculty that remained to her, and whatever interfered wi'b it Was terrible to her When a dark and doubtful sense of duty, then, came be tween her and him, it was repelled bv all the efforts of her will. And yet at limes it seemed to overshadow her in a sbape which she was noi able lo drive away. wa« frightened at herself when happiest in his presence, and he was veliemeniiy with her in proportion lo bis adoration aud bis jealous;. Provost, in the mean lime, became aware of Ihe misery which had grown up in the house of his friend, and knew that he him self was the cause. The extreme beauty of Umbra, and her resemblance to his wife, moved him strongly lo compassion and in terest ; and, firmly believing that she was not the wife of Monkton, he fell but little scruple, when he learned how she was now treated, in endeavoring lo induce her volun tarily to quit her present home for his; A horrible wavering notion seems lo have pos sessed her that Provost bad a right to com mand—her lo do so. Then, Again, she lost sight of it, and only a vague idea tha 1 she was to be castoff by Monkton darkened her imagination. When Monkton learned from her own lips the struggle she was enduring, Ihe last hold upon his passion gave way. They broke that hour over their bounoaries, and spread their own ruin among them. ,In his mad ness he himself hurried her from the house, and led her to Provost’s door. There he furiously rang, and, hearing somebody run ning to open it, he started away like the wind, and, rushing in to his own desolate home, locked himself in his room, and neither answered nor summoned the frightened serv ant who beheld his return. It was a winter night of tempest, bat there was no fire nor light in Monkton’s room. He was not heard to stir from the moment he entered it; and the servant who watched a little while at his chamber door, and once or twice knocked timidly, was fain to retire at last, and conceal her fears for her master in her still greater awe of him. Morning came, and she once more tried 10 obtain an answer ; but all was silent within his room. After a few moments, however, she had for gotten her awe of him, on beholding an ob ject of yet greater terror. She screamed his name in a voice which prevailed over his passions. It made him spring up, unbolt the Jock, and the door was thrust open as he did so by the trembling servant. She dragged him to the step of the entrance, and there lay the dead Umbra, frozen to death. No doubt she had followed him in his flight, aod had not attempted to enter, since be had driven her away, and had sat down and died on the step. Monkton took her op in bis WILLSBOEO, TIOGA COUUTY, PA.,. arms, and for three days never loosed the dead body, not though the dreadful taint of corruption spread over it.' At the end of that time bis brain reeled, and his streng'h wa vered. His arms, in spite of himself, gave way to force; she was taken from him, and s be sank into a stupor from which it was long before*he recovered. ■■ A short outbreak of remorse folio wed j sod then he shut up her name in silence as profound as the grave which a second time' held her. He made no confidant; he gave no detail. One journey he look as soon as he was released from the restraint to which his temporary alienation of reason had re duced him, and at that time he was too much absorbed in his own feelings to care whether he was observed or not. They thought he intended to open the tomb of Umbra, and see her with his own eyes in the last resting place. They watched him but he did not go 1 there. He went to the vault where the, wile of Provost was recorded on the marble to lie, and caused the lid of the coffin to be lifted which bore her name. The lid was lifted and the coffin was an empty one. Sowing Wild Oats. Many a young man has been lured from the path of virtue, andenliced into the road that leads, by an easy descent, into the ac cursed valley of destruction, through the thoughtless speech of some thoughtless per. son, talking flippantly about sowing wild oats as a thing to be expected in youth. “1 had one lesson on this subject from the lips of an aged counselor,” said a valued friend to me not long since, “which has never been forgotten. The timely warning saved me. I was nineteen years of age, and had just entered college. Young men were there from neatly every Stale in the Union, and some of them badly corrupted. I was social, in health and spirits, and with an im agination forever carrying me beyond the actual and the present. Before I bad lime for reflection, and before even a conscious ness of wrong bad reached me, I was afloat on a dangerous sea, my boat glided swiftly forward and the syren’s songs already in my ears. “Oue night we had a wine parly in the town, which ended in excesses, the thought of which has called a burning blush to my cheeks a hundred times since. I had nut been very well for some days previously, Buffeting from constant headache and low febrile symptoms. The dissipation of a night turned the scale upon the wrong side, and 1, was sdTll on the next day that it was thought best to call in a physician. He was an old man, of the old school of gentlemen, and wise thoughtful and kind. He commenced at once the buisness of finding out every thing in regatd to mv habits, principles and modes of thought, and there was something in him that so inspired me with confidence, that I concealed nothing. He looked grave and oflered a remonstrance. “Oh,” said 1, almost lightly, “young men must sow their wild oats. The ground will be so much better prepared for seeding wheat after the crop is taken.” “An error of the gravest character,” he replied, seriohslv, “and one that lias ruined its thousands and its lens of thousands of voung men. Is a garden better prepared for the reception of the good seed, for having first been permitted to grow weeds? I put the question to your common sense. Are there not some soils go filled with all manner of evil seeds, that the gardener with his ut most toil and care, can scarcely remove the vigorous plants that spring to life in the warm sunshine and rain? It is no more com parison—that of a human soul to a garden. Truth is the good seed which is sown in this garden—false principles the evil seed, or “wild oats,” which the enemy’s hand scatters, if permitted, upon the virgin soil. Now, is it not an insult to reason to say that a man will be a wiser, truer, belter man, for having false principles, leading at once to an evil, sown upon the ground of his mind in youth, as it would be to say that a garden would be more thrifty in- after years, for being first permitted to grow weeds ? My slranger friend I 1 have lived almost to the completion of life’s earthly cycle, and have seen a sad number of young men lost to the world, lost to themselves, and lost, I fear, to the company of God’s blessed angels, in consequence of that single false idea sown into the earth of their minds.—Oh, cast it out at once ! Keep yourself pure. Let right principles, chaste thoughts, noble purposes, manly aims, grow in your garden—not the accursed wild oats I Be prudent, temperate, virtuous, obedi ent to superiors, honerable and kind. Aim to a be man—not a sensualist. Govern, yourself as a man instead of letting passion, appetite, or any sensual desire rule you as a tyrant. Sow no more wild oats. You will find trouble enough in your after life with the seed slready scattered in your fields." “The scales,” said ray friend, “dropped at once from my eyes. 1 saw that the good old physician was right and that this cant about sowing wild oats involved one of. the most dangerously fallacies into which the mind of a young roan could fall. It was my' last folly of this kind. Grains Ann Accomplishments.—Cor neille did not speak correctly the language of which be was-such a roaster. Descartes was silent in mixed society. Tbeoroislicles, when asked to play on a lute, said, “I cannot fiddle, but 1 can make a little village a great city. Addison was unable to converse in company. Virgil was heavy colloquiSlly. La Fontaine was 1 coarse and stupid when surrounded by men. Hence, it has been remarked, medioc rity can talk , it is for genius to obscrt'c.” THURSDAY MOMDfGL AUGUST 19, 1858. Immortality. Our earth has existed about 6000 years, and this seems a long period, but h is only a fraction of the time that light takes m com ing from remote distances to our vision, 6000 years! mere days! only seventy summers and winters of the planet Uranus! Incon ceivably rapid as the motion of light must he, h is nothing compared with human thought. The mind does not require a moment to dart from the earth to the sun—in leas than a second it glances round the orbit of the most distant planet or known star. If this be not positive proof that mind is somewhat more than matter, and therefore secure from the possibility of destruction- we know not where such proof can be fonnd. Man, then, is immortal, and it is immor tality that gives him importance. The ma terial word makes no advancement, and it has acquired no new attribute since its cre ation by the Almighty hand. Mount Horeb stands on no broader or firmer base—and Sharon and Carmel are no loftier than when Moses passed with his host through the wil derness. Jordon still Sows as when the prophet smote its waters —the colors of the rainbow are the same, and no brighter than they appeared to the eye of Jioah. The spider does not weave its web more skill fully, nor the little ant labor more industri ously than when the wise man took lessons nf wisdom from them. These have only re tracted the same short journey, as those be fore them—they lived, they drank, they died. The body of man, too, soon reached his threescore and ten years,‘but the growth of his soul is perpetual.j The little child in the cradle, who views with sparkling de lighted eyes the flame of the now roams in the highest heavens, counlibg the stars measuring their orbits and distances. To be horn is assuredly a high privilege, but it is still a greater one to die. Let the -good man, amidst the sublimiiies of nature, which surround him in every step to the grave, so live, that when be arrives at the end of it convinced and believing, be can exclaim, “My true existence has not yet be gun.” Is There a God? What a question ! And yet a fair question, and an important question. To it we all probably reply—“ Yes, most certainly.” That there’s a God All nature cries aloud in all her works. And this satisfies most minds, and it ought Tc"-satisfy them. The works cf God prove his existence, and the voice of revelation joins in and adds its testimony. But suppose a person comes to you and says, I want you to prove by fair argTsment , by an argument drawn out and laid before me, that there is a God, could you frame such an argument ? Let me help you. 1 have always admired the argument of Mr. Locke, and will give it to you in substance. It is as follows : 1. Every man is conscious of his own existence, and therefore knows wnh absolute certainly that he exists. 2. He knows 100, that he did not always exist, but began to exist. 3. He knows, also, that his existence was not accidental, but caused. 4. That cause must have been adequate to his produc- tion or he would not have existed ; i. e., that cause must have possessed and exerted -the intelligence necessary to contrive, and the power oecessarv to create him—soul and body —the living, thinking being called man, thus conscious of existence. Hence it follows : that there is a being who can thus contrive and create anything, everything, a world, the universe. That being we call God. And now lei me add what a very learned man says of this argument, of which I have given the substance. This argument is, in my view, perfectly conclusive; nor has it been, nor will it ever be answered, except with sophistry or sneers. 1 will not insist' that every step of it is attended with what logicians call intuitive evidence ; nor that it amounts to what is, in the logical sense, an absolute demonstration. But it is in every step attended with such evidence, as excludes all rational doubt, and approaches so near the character of demonstration as to leave the mind completely satisfied.—Reli gious Herald. Modeek Defining. —Justice—Sending a starving child to the House of Correction for stealing a loaf of bread, and marrying jour daughter to an accomplished rogue who bus" swindled the community out of halfa million, i Happiness—Ealing and drinking all your appetite demands, without fearing the dyspep sia, and wearing a more costly, coal than your neighbor. Religion—Paying a hundred dollars for pew rent in church, and going there to sleep half a day every Sunday. Sound Preaching—Condemning, in the strongest lermSj sins of which none of the hearers are guilty. Marriage—Coming into posession of an hundred thousand dollars with an appendage of a husband or wife. Temperance—Administering the teetotal pledge to your drunken neighbor with flask of brandy in your pocket. .Benevolence—-Giving fifty thousand dollars to some benevolent institution, and allowing your old aunt one hundred dollars for her yearly support. Piety—Chasing the “almighty dollar” six days in the week, and mourning over the de pravity of the world in general. A little mind is hurried by twenty things at once ; hut a man of sense does but one thing at a lime, and resolves to excel in it; for whatever is worth doing is worth doing well. ©ocrrsptralmixt. Letter from Wisconsin. 0.5.' ALASKA, Aug. 1J1553. Mr. Cobb ; Dear Sir : The probability is that so long as this world exists andis inhab ited by that being called man, excitements will he rife, speculation will run high, ind won ders will not cease, and while these! are pre vailing in other parts of this universe I pro pose to give you a partial description of events taking place in this part of, the West. The Kail Koad from La Crosse'|t> Milwau kee has been a subject of a great deal of talk, considerable swindling, (as | every one knows) and considerable excitement is created as to where the La Crosse Depot jvriU be lo cated. Great anxiety is felt to see! tbe Iron Horse puffing on tbe banks of the :Mississippi where as yet be is a stranger anli where be will be welcomed, thrice welcomed, fay one and all. Tbe work on the road hasjbeen put through in a manner that has done great honor to its Contractor, and I b“lieve it is the intention to have the cars lt| North La Crosse within the next six weeks.' jThen we will have a direct connection wiihj New York City by rail, which will be a great Advantage Jo the traveling public in this portion of the West especially during winter. [lt! will also pul a stop to the bleeding done bjj steamboat men in the fall and spring of each year. In times past, if the wary traveler happens to be a little too late in getting tin ought to the river be is taxed an enormous pried, for noth fare and freight. Last fall after the packets hauled off, the transient boats that continued to run, charged tbe very moderate; price of ten dollars from Prairie Du Cbien to La Crosse (95 miles) and only twelve jshillings per bundled for freight. I’m lhinl|ing that those coming West this fall who understand the way to come will avoid this evlj) which has so long been practised. Thejemigralion to Minnesota and North Westernj‘V|’i»coDsin will be large for years, and those coming can rest assured that the coming fall they can, if they come by ibe way of the La Ctosse and Milwaukee Kail Koad, gel through to a point where they can find good roads and good conveyance 10 most any point they may desire to go, and ifaat too without the deten tion of their goods at Prairie Du phien or Dunlieih during the suspension of !n£viuation on the Mississippi. Tbe time is hpjt far dis tant when a Rail Road to St. Pad! and to different points in the interior of Minnesota, will be declared readv to receive the “Iron Boss." ‘ J i Already gangs of men 'are employed a I several different points above La Crosse on Ibe river. Minnesota is bound npt to be behind her sister Stales in Rail Rokds, and ere long she can boast of being-a Bjcb Stale and those who once scoffed at her will be as glad to congratulate her. At present there is considerable excitement here as well as at many other places in regard to gold being found at Oronoco, Olmsted County Minnesota. One man has dug gold to the amount of thirty dollars on one day and forty the next, this is no humbug as some migffi suppose as we have the informatiott from a reliable source. The gold has been tested and is found of superior quality and nearly pure. Claims are already stakediout, sat eeveniy-five, and the mining law is estab lished, two companies have about tjOOO (eel of lumber on the ground in the shape of shanties and fixtures necessary toj lest the gold bearing earth, and more are ’[arriving there daily. Several companies have gone from this place. La Crosse and other places near here, to dig’ for the shining du?t and to see if all is gold that glitters. T(iere are three or four companies already foijmed. in tending to leave for the golden regions on Mondav, Aug. 2d. May jov go wijh them, luck attend them, and plen'v of gold come back with them. You may expect;!as -soon as sickness in my family will permit to bear from your humble servant tryiog his luck in the gold mines of Minnesota. .1 Now Mr. Editor just tell your people not to get excited hot keep perfectly cupl and if perchance there should be large J enougli quao'ilies found that will satisfy ihd! craving appetite of a moneyless peopli heije ’at the West I will guarantee that some of you at least shall have a specimen of Minnesota gold. And while I am informing you of there being gold In Minnesota 1 should not forget to mention the fact of there facing lead found there also. Lead has been 'found in Ijresbach City which has proved,! to be of good quality, and a fair prospect iof there being large .quantities of it. Shoo'd these mines prove .valuable it will be a great be ! p to Minnesota In these bard limes, j We are having considerable raip here at present. The crops look very well and in some parts the wheat crop is going to he good, while the rust has affected it ip others. 1 shall write to you again as soon! as any thing of importance is beard from the mines.
