WELIjSBORO, TIOGA COUNTY, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 19, 1860.
It was, tlie oomingof ,Fate to him, for be had
made op his mind to tell her of the ' love that
was consuming him.’ Two' days before, 'With
tears on his. bashful face, ho, had confided Jail
to his mother; and,jat her suggestion, he had
nowprovideda little present by way of intro
duction. Katrine smiled sweetly as. she ap
proached, for, with a woman’s quick eye, she
had read his glances; long before. .His lips bad
•first rebelled, but he’stfuggled out d salotation,
and, the ice once broken, be found, himself
strangely unembarrassed. •He breathed freely.
It seemed to him that their relations must hare
been fixed in some previous state of existence;
so natural was it to be in familiar and aim ist
affectionate communication with the woman
whom before he bad loved afar off, as aptge
might sigh for a queen. ;
“ Stay, Katrine,” he said,—" I had newly
forgotten.” He ran hastily into the cottage,
and soon returned with a covered basket. “ She,
Katrine, these white rabbits I—are they not
pretty?” ; j
' “ Oh, the little petal” exclaimed Katrine.—
“ Are they yours ?” , i . , .
“ No, Katrinchen,—that is, they were mine;
now they ore yonrs;” J?
“ Thank yon, Carl. 11 shall love themdearlj
“Forimy sake!” |,
.“ For their own, Carl, certainly; for yot ra
also, —a little.”
“Good-bye, Bunny,” said he, patting the
bead of one of the rabbits. “ Love yonr mis
tress ; and, mind, little whitey, don’t keep those
long ears of yonrs for nothing; tell me if ym
ever hear anything about me."
“Perhaps Carl had better come and bear
for himself, —don’t ytjn think so. Bunny 1” said
Katrine, taking the basket.
The tone and' manner said more than the
words. Carl’s pulses bounded; he seized her
unresisting hand and covered it with kisses—
“ Sol this is'the bashful young man.!” thought
Katrine. “I shall not need to encourage him
any mote, surely.’'-
The night was coming on; Katrine remem
bered her father, and started towards the mill,
whose broad arms coaid scarcely be seen thro’
the twilight. Carl accompanied her to the gate,
and, after a furtive glance upward to the bonse
windows, bade her 'farewell, with a kiss, and
turned homeward, feeling himself a man ■ for
the drat time, in his life.
Fran Prooh had seenthe pantomime through
the flower* that stood ,on the window-sill, cot
ill-pleased, and was waiting ber sbn's return.
An hour passed, and he. did. not comeanother
hour, and she began tb' groW ansionh. ’When
it was near midnight,' she 'roused her rieaftfst
-neighbor and asked him to go towards'the mill
'and look for Carl. -Airi-hour'of terrible Sus
pense ensiiedi It was! worse than she hsd'eyen
feared. - Carl lay by the roadside, ; not'far from!
the thill, Insensible, covered with blood,-moan
ing feebly al first; and!afterwards silent; if-hot
breathless. Ghastly wounds covered his head,
and his arms'and shoulders were' livid with;
-bruises. The neighboring-peasants surrounded
the apparently lifeless body, and listened.with
awe ,to the frenziedimprecaUons of, Frau Proch
upon the murderer,of-her tson., “May he die
in a foreign land,” said she, .lifting -her wint
ered bands to Heaven, 1“ without wife. tc>. nnrss
him orpriest to.speakjpeaceto-his soul 1 May
his.body lie unburied, a prey for veolves and
vultures I, May bis inheritance pass into the
hands of strangers, .and his narae perish from
earth 1" They mattered their prayers, as they
epcoimtered her bloodshot, but tearless ayes,
and left ,her'with her son. ,
- -For a whole day and night he did not speak;
then a violent brain fever set in, and he raved
continually. He'fancied, himself pursued, by
Hans Stoken, and recoiled, as from tbs blows
of his.staff. When'-this was reported, suspic
ion' was directed at -once to Stoben as the crim
inal,; bat before, an arrest itould be made, it
was. found that he had fled. Hie disappearance
confirmed the belief, of bis,guilt.: In truth, it
was the rejected suitor, who, in a fit of jealous
tage, hod waylaid hia rival in the dark, beat
him, and left him for dead.
' Katrine,' who had always:disliked Stoben, es
pecially after he bad pursued her with bis coarse
and awlsward gallantpy, now; naturally felt a
warmer affection for the victim of bis brutality.
She threw off all disguise, and went frequently
to Frau Prooh’g cottage, to aid -in nursing the
invalid daring hie slow and painful recovery.
She had, one day, the unspeakable pleasure of
catching tkc first gleam of returning sanity in
her hapfess lover, as sbebent overturn and with
gentle fingers smoothed-his knotted forehead
and temples. An insoluble tie now bound them
together; their mutual love was consecrated by
suffering and sacrifice; and they vowed to be
'faithful inlife and In death, ...

When<Jarlat length
raenced labor, ho Sloped speeaily to claim his
betrothed, aad-wa* waitings favorable oppor
tunity to obtain her father’s ''consent to their
manage. The soars were the only evidence of
the soffering -he ha'd ■ endured. ■ No hones had
been broheDj'and he was as erect end as vigor*
Phi aS before the' assault. But Carl, most un
: fortunate ! of rhin, was’ not destined • so' ; soon'ito
enjoy the happiness fbrwhich he, hoped,'
love that-had caHtd him 'bafck tolife.- Asthe
robber’ eagle sits' bn his - cliff* waiting 1 till the

himself .the prize,—so' Sobdnfeld, not tinin
formedpf vwhat was going oh; stood ready to
po’uhce tfpon the suitor who ‘ sfaonld [gain Eat
'riiie's favor, and sweep the last rival pot of the
wayi"' 1 An - officer in the king’s ’service’ appeared
in the village-to -draw-the conscripts for the
agmy* and the young men trembled-Uke penned*
Up.-shepp at the entrance of the blood-stained
butcher,, not knowing who would ! be seized for
the shamblea-. The ofScer had apparently been
a friend,and companion of Schpnfeld’s in for
mer-(}ajs> and passed same time -at his.honse.
ft .wap perlisps only a coincidence fcnt it struck
the neighbors ,aa yery pdd ■ at least, ;thait Carl
:'Ptpoh;was the. firs t.pjan drawn'for thearpjy. ’

sense of utter desolation,.she sunk,,into her
grave, and was buried on tbs very da/ that
Carl, with the other recruits, was marched off.
What new torture the betrothed Katrine felt
is' hot to be told. Three years were to her an
eternity; and her imagination called op such
visions of danger from wounds, privations, and
disease, that she parted from her lover as though
it were forever. ■ The miller found that the light
and the melody of tig boose were gone., Kat
rine was silent and sorrowful; her frame wast
ed and her etep grew -feeble. To all his Coffers
of condolence she made no reply, except to re
mind him bow with tears she had besongbt bis
interference in Carl’s behalf. She would not
be comforted. The father little knew the feel
ing she. possessed; he had thought that her at
tachment to her rustic lover was only a girlish
fancy, and that she would speedily forget him;
but how her despairing.look frightened him.—
To the neighbors, who looked inquisitively as
he sat by the .mill-door, smoking, he complained
of the of bis tobacco, vowing that it
made bis eyes so tender that they watered upon
the slightest whiff.
For six months Schonfeld wisely kept away;
that period, he thought, would be long enough
to efface any recollection of the absent soldier.
Then be presented himself, and, in his usual im
perious way, offered bis hand to Katrine. The
miller was inclined to favor his suit. In wealth
and position Schonfeld was first in the village;
he would be a powerful ally, and a very disa
greeable enemy. In fact, Baoohen really feared
to refuse tbe demand; and be plied his daugh
ter with such argument es he could command,
hoping to move her to accept, the offer. Kat
rine, however, was convinced of the truth of
her former suspicion, that Carl was a victim of 1
Schonfeld’s craft; and her rejection of his pro
posal was pointed with an indignation which
she toqk no pains to conceal. The old scar
showed strangely white in his purple face,'as
he left the mill, vowing. vengeance for the.
affront
Rauchen ; and his daughter were now more
solitary than ever. The father had forgotten
the-roaring stories he used to tell to. the neigh
boring peasants, pyer foaming flagons of qle, at
the little inn; he sat at his mill-door and smoked
incessantly. Katrine,shunned the festivities in
which she was once queen, and her manner,
though kindly, wag silent and reserved; she
went to church, it is true, but she wore a look
of settled sorrow that awed curiosity and even
repelled sympathy. But scandal is a plant that
needs no roof in the earth ; like the houseleek,
it can thrive upon air; and those who separate
themselves the most entirely from the world are
apt, for the.very reason,; to receive the larger
share of its attention. The village girls looked
first With pity, then with wonder,-and at length
: Whh aversion, upon the gentle and Unfortrinafe
.Katrina, ■ Careless as she was with regard to.
public opinio’n. slie saw not witbout pain the al
tered. lacks of her old associates, and before
she came to know the cause. A cruel
suspicion had been whispered about, touching
her in abost. tender point It was not without
reason, so the gossip ran, that she had-refused
so eligible an offer of marriage as Schonfeld’-s.
The qtory. reached the .ears of Rauchen, at
last With a fierce energy, such as he had
never exhibited before, he tracked it : frqtri cot
tage, to! cottage, until he came to Schonfeld's
housekeeper, who refused to give faeroothority.
! The nett-market-day Rauchen encountered.the
former suitor and publicly charged him with the
' slander, in such terms as his baseness deserved.
Scbonfold, thrown off his guard by the sadden
iattaok,.struck bjs adversary a heavy blow; but
the miller rushed upon him, and left him to be
parried homo, a bundle of aches and braises,—
After this the tongues of the gossips wore quiet;
no one was willing to answer for guesses or ru
mors at the end of Rauchen's staff; and the
father and daughter resumed their monotonous
mode of life.
■ The three years at length passed and Carl
Proch returned home, —a trifle more sedate,'
perhaps, but the same noble, manly, fellow.—
How warmly he was received by the constant
Katrine is not , necessary ,to relate. Raiichen
was not disposed to thwart' his long-suffering
daughter any further; and with his consent
the young couple .Were" speedily married, and
lived in bis bouse. The gayety of former years
came back; cheerful songs and merry laughter
were heard in the lately silent rooms. Bauehen
himself grew younger, especially after the birth
of a grandson, and often resumed his old place
at the inn, telling the old stories with the old
gusto, over the over-welcome ale. But one morn
ing, not long -after, he was found dead in his
bed; a smile was on his face, and his limbs
were stretched out as in peaceful repose.
‘There was no longer any tie to bind Carl to
his native village. All bis kin, as well as Kat l
vino’s, vyere in the grave. He was not bred-a
millet, and did hot .feel competent to manage
the mill. Besides, his mind had received' new
ideas while he was. in the army. He had heard
of countries'where men were equal before laws,
where the peasant owed no allegiance but to so
ciety. The germ of liberty bad been planted in
his breast, and he could no longer live content
ed with therank in which he had been born.
At. least be wished thathia children might grow
up free from the chilling influences - that had
fallen upon" him. At his earnest persuasion,
Katrine consented that the mill should be sold;
and soon after,; with bis wife and child, ho went
to Bremen and embarked for America.

We must now follow the absconding Stolzen,
■ who, witb his bagof thalers, had made good bis
escape into. England. He lived in London,
where he found ,society among his countrymen.
His habitual shrewdness. never deserted him,
■and from small beginnings he gradually mossed
a moderate fortune. His first experiment in
proposing for a wife satisfied him, but in a great
city his sensual nature was. fully developed.—
i His* brutal’ passions were unchecked; . con
science seemed to have left him" utterly. At
length be began to think about quitting London.
,He was afraid'to f return to Germany, for, os he
had 10ft Carl to all appearance dead. ho thought
i the offleerref the law would seize him. He de
; terminedito’goto Australia, arid secured a berth
in -a clipper ship bound for Melbourne, but
eoma aopidept prevented his reaching the pier
in ?cfvwtr,; ( thg ve?sel sailed without him, and
was rievorheard of afterwards., -Thou bo-pro-
posed to buy on; estate in'Canada; but the
owner failed to make bis appearance at the
time appointed for the'negotiation, and the bar
gain was not completed. At last he took pas
sage for New York, whither a Hebrew acquaint
ance of his bad gone, a year or two before, and
was established Us a broker. Upon arriving
in that city, Stolzen purchased of an agent a
tract of land in la Western State, situated on
the shore of Lake| Michigan; and after reserv
ing a sum of money for immediate purposes,
be deposited his funds with his friend the bro
ker, and started jwestward. He traveled the
usual route by rail, then a short distance in a
mail-coach, which; carried him within six miles
of his farm. Leaving his luggage to be sent
for, he started to walk the remaining distance.
It was a sultry day, and the prairie; road was
anything but pleasant to a pedestrian unaccus
tomed.-to heat and dust. After walking less
than an hoar, be determined to stop at a small
house near, the road, for rest, and some water
to quench bia. thifst; bat as he approached,
the baying honndis, no lew than' the squalid
children aboutthe door, repelled him; and he
went on to the next house. He now’ turned
down a green laocj between two raws of thrifty
trees, to a neaflog-cabin. whose nicely-plastered
walls and the regular fence inclosing it testi
fied to the thrift a|id good taste of the owner.
He knocked; all was still. Again, and thirsty
as he was, he wds on the point of leaving,
when he heard a slop within. He waited; the
door opened, and bjefora him stood Katrine!
( She did not knoW him; but ha had' not for
gotten that voluptuous figure nor those melting
blue eyes. He preferred his requests, looking
through the doorway at the same time to make
sate that she had no protector. Katrine brough t
the Stranger a gould of water, and offered, him
a chair. She did hot see the baleful eyes be
threw after her as bbe went about her house
hold duties. Stolzbn bad dropped from her fir
mament like a fallen and forgotten star. Se
cure In her unsuspecting innocence, she chir
ruped to her baby knd. resumed her sewing.
That evening, when Carl. Procb returned
from his field, afte* bis usual bard day’s labor,-
•he found his wife on the flooh, sobbing, speech
less, and the' child, unnoticed, crying in his cra
dle. I|is dog sat by the hearth with a look of
almost Intelligent sympathy, and whined ns his
master entered the room. He raised Katrine
and held her in bis arms like a child, covered
her face frith kisses, and implored her to speak.
She seemd to hie in ja fearful dream, and shrunk
from some imagined danger in'the extremes!
terror. Gradually 1 her sobs became less fra l
quent, her tremors ceased, and‘she smiled upon
the manly ■ face that met' hers, as though she
had dnly suffered from an imaginary fright—
But .when she felt Iter.hair -floating upon her
shoulders, saw-the |llmost speaking face of the
dog, Bruno,, and became conscious of the cries
of the neglected child, the wave of agony swept
over, her again, an<f she could utter only broken
ejaculations. As word after word caine from
her lips, the unhappy bnsband’s flesh tingled-;
bis hair stiffened jwith horror; every nerve
seemed to he strong with a new aqd maddening
tension. There waji for him no isucb thing as
fatigue, no distance, no . danger,—no. law, no
hereafter, no God, j All thought and feeling
were drowned in ode wild desire for vengeance,
—vengeance swift, terrible and final.-'
■ Ha. first carressodj the dog as though he bad
been a brother; he put his arms about.bis
shaggy neck.'and shook each faithful paw; he
made-bis wife caressibim also. ‘•God be praised,
dear Katrine, for your protector, the dog l” *aid
he. “Come, now, Bruno 1”
Katrine saw him i depart with his dog and
gun; but if she guessed his errand, she did
net dare remonstrate. Ho walked off rapidly,
—the dog inadvanCe, now and then baying as
'though he were, on a trail.
In the night he! returned, - and he smiled
grimily as he sat down the rifle in its accustomed
corner. Ilis.wife was waiting for him with in
tense anxiety. It was marvellous to brr that he
was so cheerful. • He' trotted her upon'his knee,
pressed her a 'hundred -times to his bosom,
kissed her forehead, lips, and cheeks, called
•her his pretty Kate, his dear wife,' and every
endearing name he knew. So they sot, like
lovers in their teens, till the purpling east told
of a new day.
Tfa&loggage of one Stoizen, a. stage-coach
passenger, remained at the tavern uncalled-for,
far a nearly a year. No one . knew the man,
and bis disappearance, though a profound mys
tery, was not an ut common thing-in a'new
country. The Hebrew broker In New York
received no answer to his letters, though he
bpd carefully preserved the - post-office address
which Stoizen bad given him._ He began to
fear lest .he should be obliged to fulfil the duty
of heirship to the property deposited with him.
To quiet bis natural; apprehensions in view of
this event,, he determined to -follow Stobsen’s
track, as muohqf it as lay in this world, at least,
and find out what had become of him., Upwv
arriving in the neighborhood, the Jew bad a
thorough search made. The country was scoured
and on the third day there was a discovery 1' ‘A
man walking ob tbej sandy margin of A river,
Shout two dr three mHes from Carl’s house,-'
saw a skull, hefore him. As the steep bluff
nearly overhung thel spot where he stood, he
Conjectured that the body to which the skull be
longed was to be found abovo on its verge. He
climbed up, and there saw a headless skeleton.
It was thee body of Stoizen, as his memorandum
book and other articles .showed. His pistol
was in his pocket, and still loaded; that fact
precluded the idea of suicide., Moreover, upon
examining more' closely; a bullet hole was
found in his-breastbone, around which the
parts were broken outwardly, showing that the
ball mast have entered from behind. It -was
clearly that Stoizen had been murdered.
The curse of Frail Proch had been moat ter
ribly fulfilled. I
Circumstances soijm pointed'to Cad Proch as
the perpetrator. A stranger, corresponding to
the deceased in size and dress, had been, seen,
. about khe time of his disappearance, by the
’ neighboring family,.' walking towards Prooh’q
hmlso; and on the evening of the same day ah
Irishman met Carl going at rapid rate, with a
gun on his shoulder, oe though in - furious par-!
suit of some one.A; warrant .for-his - arrest
issued, and ho was lodged in jail to wait-hii trial.

oat a shadow of a case against hia client, be waa
jet puzzled in bis own mind by Carl’s silence,
and bis real or assumed indifference. Katrine
was in court with her child in her arms, watch

demand any but the moat familiar and collo. -

mously acquitted Carl, and with his wife and
boy he left the couijt-xoom. The verdict .was
approved by the spectators, for no roan lin the
neighborhood was more universally loved and
respected than Carl Proch, ;
Having paid Jameson his fee for bis services,
Carl wag about to depart, when the lower’s on,
