XHEBULLERS DAUGHTER. j
■ "Many years ago, the commnnityof a hata
let- id the south of France, was startled by a
crime,.,rare, indeed, in their quiet, hgricultn-t
ral district. A wealthy farmer...was found'
dead, at early morning, jsitbin one hundred
yards of his own house.. -He had been killed
by blows administered with a heavy stake,
which lay near the body, covered'with blood,
and all his pockets had been rifled of their
contents, including a considerable sum of mon
ey,-which he was known to Shave received the
previous evening, for'some sheep .sold by him
in the neighboring market-town.
When , the awe and excitement created , by
this event had subsided a little, every exertion
was made by the authorities to ferret.out the
ed'fbr the discovery of the- murderer, procla
mation of which bounty was made for several
successive Sundays at the church door. At
last some disclosures were made implicating a
young man named Laroche——a stripling of
eighteen years. *■
The person who brought the charge against
young Laroche was a.man of the name of Lan
dry—a stranger in the district—but who had
already been appointed by the lord of the
manor as one of the "keepers of his game pre
serves, Landry testified that he bad seen
Laroche! cutting a state from a hedge on the
afternoon previous t<3 the murder, and that he
had reproved him for it, and, taking the stake
from him had-stuck-it in- the- bank of the
hedge at a particular spot. ..The stake was the
same one that was found' lying near the body
of the murdered farmer. Landry ,could swear
to it, because, after taking it from Laroche,
he had nicked it in a peculiar way with h!s
knife. i
Now it so haippened that the bordered far
mer had many' influential friends, .while Laro
che had bat feyv. Therefore Laroche was con
victed of the murder, and sentenced to he
hanged on a certain day, at "a certain place;
until which time he was placed in the jail of
thb district —the third floor of a large '.stone,
building, the lower part of which was* a mill.
The prison consisted of a single apartment,
lighted by one email window at a height of
about sixteen feet from the floor. The side of
the building from which the window looked;
ran sheer down to the water of a dark and
deep river, which crept lazily hy the mill, but
quickened its pace.a.little dower down, until it
gradually became a. rushing, torrent, leaping
wildly to its fall over a perpendicular ledge of
rocks.; Bodies,carried over that fall were said
never.to have teen recovered, and it was a fixed
notion■ among' the .country. people that: there
was a foroo in the whirl-pool below by which
everything falling into it was carried down
into the unexplored abysses of .the earth.
It was the day before, that fixed for the ex
ecution of young Laroche, and the - priest of
the parish, Father, Allard by name, had been
left -alone with the. prisoner, in order to pre
pare "him, by "the consolation of religion, for
his approaching- doom. To his.words ’of "com
fort Laroche listened with humility "and si
lence, until the good father began to dilate up
on his chances of forgiveness in - the nest
world, for the terrible crime committed by
him. Then the prisoner electrified him by de
claring his perfect innocence of the crime—
a position .which he meant to, maintain,,he
said, with his latest breath. .
",To bo brief,'.the.,youth of the prisoner, his
earnest asseyeratibn.of innocence, and a waver
ing doubt of his'guilt which had all "along
troubled Father-Allard’s mind r so wrought up
on, that worthy, man that ha "at last, consented
to ,commit himself to a pian for giving, the
prisoner a chance of escape, if ,not from death,
at least from the ignominy of dying by, the
hands of the accursed hangman. . ”
f *lf I die.,by the gallows, most reverend
father,” said the yonng man, “ a great sqtrow
will some day fall upon all concerned in,; my
death. . The. real murderer is. sore to be dis
covered, sooner or lator, and then I shall have
been, a murdered man, and. the just retribu
tion of Heaven will pursue-my- murderers.—
Aid »e to. escape, rather than : risk •a . great
stain upon your .'conscience.; Stand upon this
chair, which I-place u upon the" table, thus, and
then* .by, mounting open yoor. shoulders,- l ean
i reach .the window anddropfrom-it,”
U' i ', , Bnt:tbe river below I”
ET BATAED-TAYLOR.
“ I swim like an otter; and, at any rate,
it is bettor to be drowned than hanged/ 5
Convinced of the yonn'g man’s innocence,
Father Allard consented to aid him-in his es
cape. A moment sufficed to carry the plan in
to execution. The prisoner gained the window,
and disappeared. - _
.Parrading in , a straggling way outside‘the
building, went one of the minor officera of
justice—-a stolid peasant, who had been placed
there by way of sentry, and who at this mo
ment happened to be looking towards the' riv
er wall of the mill.; Sis sight nearly left him,
as ha’ afterward,stated, when ha saw a man.
drop from tjie window, strike on to a platform
that protruded from a doorway in the second
story, and, rebounding from that, fell into the
water with a heavy plunge, reappearing at in
tervals, until he was carried away into the
rapids below. .
The alarm was at once given. Village offici
als rushed to the prison room, where they found
Father Allard, alone, seated in the chair, pale,
and, as if just recovering from the sight of
some supernatural vision."To the questions
put to him he replied that, as he was adminis
tering the consolation ef his.holy office to the
prisoner, a voice sounded through the apart
ment, accompanied by the shadow of a mighty
pair of wings, on which the prisoner mounted
to the ceiling of the apartment, and was no
. more seen by him. The voice, he added, pro
claimed the prisoner’s innocence, and that the
real circumstances of the murder would soon
be made manifest.- It was a miracle, and the
good country.people, ever ready to accept that
form of interposition, were easily persuaded to
do so on the present occasion.
- Meantime. Laroche, when be leaped from
the-window,.had forgotten all about the plat-,
form. As he fell upon it, he displaced a sack,
of grain, which splashed into the dark waters
of the river, appearing to the eyes of the 1 * be
wildered sentry to he the body of the man
who had dropped from the prison window.—-
Laroche lay. upon the, narrow platform, stun
ned by his heavy fall? Spiride, the miller’s
daughter, saw him foil. There was no one else
in the mill at the time. She drew him quickly
behind ” the sacks and' great heaps of grain on.
•the floor, and,- having, administered to him
such restoratives as her young experience sug
gested, threw some loose sacks, over him, and
told him to lie atilll ” ■
' That night Spiride and her lover—Laroche
and she had bfeeh lovers for about sis hours
only—made their way.to.where a boat lay
moored below the fells, and, embarking in it,
were soon carried beyond the reach of pur
suit. It was supposed by the affrighted' villa
gers that Spiridejmnst have been carried from,
above bad-been seen to strike upon it;.and,
as the .whirl-pool below the torrent bad never
been known to give up its dead, but little
search was.madc for her, and her friends re
signed themselves to mourning for her awful
fate. Less than six months after this Landry
was tried for tfie murder of a brother keeper,
and was convicted and hanged accordingly.—
■Previous to this execution, however, he made a
clean breast of it to Father, Allard, confessing
that he had' murdered the farmer for his mon
ey, killing him- with the stake cut from -the
hedge by young Laroche, which, as ha stated,
singularly enough, suggested to him the idea
of committing the crime. ,
, Two years elapsed, and Father Allard had
ibeen promoted to a parish at a distance-of
some fifty miles from the one of. which ha had
been pastor-for so many, years.
Shortly after his arrival there, his.duties led,
him to take a journey on horseback, some
miles into the interior of the parish of which
he, had a charge. Part of the road travelled
by him wound through a swampy forest region,
and;After a ride of several miles, he came to
a sluggish stream that had formerly been span--
ned by a bridge, of which nothing hut the
abutments.now,remained, however. The priest
turned his. hore’s head, and ipde along the
bank of the river, hoping to find'another bridge,
Or at ' least, a ford by which -he could cross to
the further side ; nor had ho gono for when he
discerned, by hoof marks,’ a - place .where cat
. tie seemed to be in.the habit of wading througb,
.or criming to drink. The water appeared to be
shallowso be urged his unwilling horae into
it, and gat about half-way across when the an
imal began" to plunge and" struggle violently,
sinking at the same time, as if drawn down
;By Some invisible .power. . Aware, now, that
he bad fallen into one fof those quicksands
which are noenneommon in that part of France,
the good. fatho'r knew that to throw himself
from his horse would be certain death, as- the
witter"‘was not’deep enough to swim in, and
the hungry sand at the bottom was gasping for
him. He held his horse, therefore, and shout
ed for help. ..
, The water was gaining upon him, as the ter
rified horse sank deeper and deeper in. the
treacherous stream. Dp, np it came, until it
reached his saddle flaps/and then his knees,
and ha gave himself np for lost, when distant
shouts came in response to his, which were
growing feebler, witheach repetion.. .And now
a roan-bursts his way through the brushwood
on the river bank, and, laying Ms axe upon a
tall, slender, young tree, cots it down four Or
five rapid strokes, leaning it so that it falls out
upon the water, its topmost bpughs just brush
ing the horseman , in its fall. . Grasping the
boughs with all his remaining strength, the
priest was drawn to the bank ’by the woods
man, ; fainting and senseless, however, and
Witfr hardly a visible spark of life.
When Bather Allard recovered conscious

Xbe'Preaidential Question—Shall Wo Have
an Insurrection at the North f
During the political canvass in' iB6O we
warned both parties that the election might be
followed by a revolution. Our warnings were
not heeded then, and the consequence wae that
the election. Lincoln was quickly succeeded
by of the Southern States. Now,
at the opening of-the canvass in. 1864, we have
the same warning to utter; but it is in regard
to an insurrection at the North. The experi
rienoe of the past font years ought to. have
taught the American people that, the Herald
does not predict rashly, and that, its prophecies
are worthy of the most earnest - attention.—
When every other paper said that there was
no danger of disunion, we assured the people
that disunion would certainly be the.result of
Mr. Lincoln’s election... Now we as solemnly
assure, them .that, .unless, careful, precautions
are taken, a Northern insurrection will be the
certain result of Mr. Lincoln’s, re-election.
We. Have.not the slightest doubt that there .is
a mutual understanding between the Seymours,
the Woods, Tallandighnmand the rebels. This
understanding is shown in the secession plat
form adopted Joy the Chicago Convention, and
in the nomination of Mr, Pendleton.-of Ohiq—
■dent. We have now driven the rebels complete
ly to the wall. Gen. Grant has the best of
them at Bicbiqond, and Gen. Sborman has
succeeded in capturing Atlanta. This is not
the time, then, that any reasonable man would'
be talking abont “ an immediate cessation of
hostilities.” We are in favor of an armistice,
like that between Prussia and Denmark, where
both sides hold their ground and are ready to
begin the conflict at any moment; bat there is
a vast deal of difference between such an ar
mistice and the “ immediate cessation of hos
tilities” which the Chicago platform requires.
Nothing can explain such a platform except
the hypothesis that'it was dictated by Jeff.
Davis to the peace democrats, and that these
peace men foisted it upon the Chicago Conven
tion as the price of their endorsement of Gen
oral McClellan’s nomination.
-For three years past the Herald has sastaiaed
and defended the hero of Antietam. We have
done full justice to his generalship, his states
manship, bis honesty and his patriotism. But
when McClellan takes his stand upon a cow
ardly peace platform we are at a loss hpw to
follow him and defend him. This the General
has not yet done, and we hope that he will
never be foolish enough to do it. We advise
and nrge him to come ont boldly and declare
that his only platform is his past record as a
Union general, and that his sentiments are
those expressed in bis letter from Harrison’s
Landing and his oration at West Point. If he
: hesitates to do this be is lost. There mnst
be no prevarication nor equivocation. The
rotten Chicago platform mast be kicked, to
pieces and McClellan’s own platform substitu
ted. He had .better a thousand fold decline the
; nomination than to accept it upon each condi
tions as those imposed by the Convention. The
Chicago platform invites defeat, and it must be
" broken np, either by McClellan himself or by
. the voice of the people at the polls.
We candidly and sincerely believe that the
peace copperheads at the North do not desire
the election of McClellan any more than the
Southern secessionists desired the election of
Douglas or Breekenridge in 1860. They bit
terly opposed McClellan at Chicago, and open
ly denounced him as a tyrant and a usurper.
Finally they accepted him, upon condition that
they should have the platform and the Tice
President. But even now the copperheads are
not earnest in his support. Like the rebels,
; they wont to see Mr. Lincoln re-elected. There
is no saying but that Mr. Lincoln may be
elected by a small majority, and in that event
the copperheads intend to raise a revolution at
the North. This they can very readily do if
. the people do not beware of the trap. Sup
pose the election to be decided by only a few
, thousand votes, then the democratic minority
will be nearly as strong as the republican ma
jority. In fact the minority will be stronger;
foirtho democrats will fight, while the aboli
tionists will not; and so a thousand democrats
are more than equal to two thousand abolition
republicans. What, then, is to binder a rev
olution ?•Is it the army ? The moment the
army is withdrawn to put down an insurrection
here the rebels will come ont of their intrench
inents and capture Washington. This, as wo
understand it, is part of the copperhead plan,
and if successful it will put an end to the gov
ernment and the country.
That this idea of a vast Northern conspiracy
between the copperheads and the rebels is no
mere bugbear is evident from the fact that the
Chicago Convention, instead of adjourning tine
c2ic, ; as : conventions usually, do,, adjourned to
meet,again at.the.call of the Executive. Cnm-

mittee- This is equivalent to the organiza
tion of a revolutionary body. Our merchant
and capitalists so consider it; for they are
closing op business, shipping their goods back
to Europe, turning their property into gold,
sending their money across the water, and in
every way preparing to leave the country aa
soon as the revelation begins. These move
ments are not to be lightly considered. They
mean mischief, and show that trouble is brow
ing. Gen. McClellan can avert that trouble
end restore public confidence if he have the
pluck, and sagacity to ignore the Chicago plat
form and come out boldly as a Jackson demo
crat on the platform of his past record. Then
be will have a fair chance of election, because
be will not be bound to a cowardly policy if he
be elected. But what could Washington him
self do if he were pledged to negotiate for “ an
immediate cessation of hostilities ?” The Chi
cago platform will encourage the rebels to hold -
out until election, and, as things stand at pres
ent, the peace copperheads have promised them
one of two things ; either the re-election of
Lincoln and a Northern insurrection—in which
case the rebels will have the upperhand of ns;
or, in the event of McClellan’s election, “ an
immediate cessation of hostilities,” in which
ease the rebels will have everything their own
way. General McClellan can destroy these
schemes by framing his own platform out of
sound Union timber and being elected upon’St.
Then a Northern insurrection will be impossi
ble , and, if the people do their duty in the
meantime, there will be no rebellion left to
make terms with, and no Jeff. Davis in exist
ence to receive an offer for “an immediate
cessation of hostilities.” This’ is as great a
crisis os that at Harrison’s Landing or at An
tietam. Let Little Mac reflect deeply, and act
wisely.
Days Without Mights.
Nothing strikes a stranger more forcibly, if
be visits Sweden at the season of the year when
the days are longest, than the absence of night.
Dr. Baird once related'some interesting facta.
He arrived at Stockholm from Gottenburg, a
distance of four hundred miles, in the morning,
and_ in the afternoon went to see some friends.
He returned about midnight, when it was as
light as it is in England half an hoar before
sundown.' You coaid see distinctly, bat all
was quiet in the..streets; it seemed as if the
inhabitants were gone away or were dead.—
The sun in Jane goes down in Stockholm a lit
tle before ten o'clock. There is a great illumi
nation all night, as the son passes round the
earth towards the north pole, and the refraction
of its raja is such that yon can see to read till
time Dr. Baird awoke in Stockholm, he was
surprised to see the sun shining into bis room.
He looked at bis watch and found it was only
3 o'clock. The next time be awoke it was 5
o'clock, but there were no persons in the street.
The Swedes in the cities are not very indus
trious.
There is a mountain at the Gulf of Bothnia
where-on the Slat of June, the sun does not
seem to go down at all. A steamer goes up
from Stockholm for the purpose of carrying
those who are cations to witness the phenome
non. It occars only one night. The sun reach
es the horizon, yon can see the whole face of it,
and in five minutes more it begins to rise. At
the North cape, latitude seventy-two degrees,
the son does not go down for several weeks.
In Jane it would be about twenty-five degree*
above the horizon at midnight.
In the Winter time the son disappears, and
is not seen again for weeks;, then it comes and
remains for ten, fifteen or twenty minutes,
when it descends, and finally does not set at
all, but makes almost a circle aronpd the
heavens.
Dr. Baird was asked how they managed in
those latitudes with regard to hired persons,
and what they consider a day. He replied,
they worked by the hour, and twelve hours
would be considered a day’s work. Birds and
animals taka their accustomed rest at usual
hours, whether the sun goes down or not. I
A Woman’s Desert. —The following illustra
tive idea of what constitutes a desert in a fel
male mind, is taken from a novel entitled
“ Marriage
Douglas saw the storm-gatberiog on the brow
of his capricious wife, and, clasping her to
bis arms, he said:
“Are you indeed so changed, my Julia,
that you have forgotten the time when you
used to declare yon would prefer a desert wUh
your Henry to a throne with a another?” '
“ No, certainly, not changed ; but I—l did
not know what a desert was, ‘or at least I had
formed rather a I different idea of it.”
“ What was your idea of a desert? Do tell
me love.”
“Oh I I had fancied it a beautiful place,
fall of roses and myrtle, and smooth green
turf and mnrmuring rivulets, and though very
retired, not absolutely out the world, where
one conld occasionally see one’s friend’s, and
bo free from the cares of crying babies.”

A wag kept np a continual fire of witticisms
at a social party, when a puritanical gentle
man, who enjoyed sermons and snuff better
than jokes and pans, sharply observed:
“ H you keep on, yon will make every de
cent person leave the house.”
“That would he a sorry joke,” was the dry
reply, “ for yon would certainly feel very
lonesome when left alone.”
