These chords still and soundless, her heart was deep—none the lees so, because it has been kindled by a go:den shot, hat , : iag known and felt the life and sympathy in it, unconsoled by the life ofiuxury. In short, Kate in time became . maguificently miserable—splendidly unhappy. Then a change became apparent to the husband. He could not longer remain blind to the fact that his love was not returned.— He sought the company of those whose gaiety might lead him to forget the sorrow ' and despair of his soul. This shallow joke was unsatisfactory. however, and impelled by a rowerful longing for love, he went astray to warm his heart by a strange fire. Kate saw hers elf . . now in the midst of a gorgeous desolation,. burning with a thrist unconquerable by golden streams that flow ed around her.; panting with a hunger, which , not all the food of flattery and admi ration could appease. She approached her husband for desert ing. her thus, and he answered with angry and desperate taunts of deception and a fa tal. lack of love, which smote her conscience heavily. `You do not care for me,' he cried—.then why do you complain that I bestowed else where the affection you have met with cold ness?' 'But it is wrong—sinful,' Kate remon strated. 'Yes, I know it !' said her husband fierce ly. 'lt is the evil fruit of an evil seed.— And who soweth that seed ? Who became n sharer in my fortune, but gave me no share in her sympathy ? Who devoted me to the fate of a loting, unloved husband ? Nay do not weep, and clasp your hands and sigh - and sob with such description of im patience, for I say nothing you do not de serve to hear.' 'Very well,' - said Kate, do not say your reproaChes are undeserved. But granting I.am the cold, deceitful thing you call me —you know this state of things cannot con tinue.' know it.' , 'Well !' Mr. Wellington's brow gathered dark— his eyes flashed with determination—his lips cured with scorn. •I have mode up my mind,' said he, , that we should not live together any longer. I am tired of being called the husband of the splendid Mrs. Wellington. I will move in my circle,,you shall shine in yours. I will place no restrain on your actions, nor shall you on mine. We will be free.' 'But the world !' shrieked poor Kate, trembling. .The world will admire you the same— and what more do you desire ?' asked the husband bitterly. 'This marriage of hands and not of hearts, is mockery. We have played this farce long enogh. Few under etand the true meaning of the terms hus band and wife; but do you know what they should mean ? Do you feel that the only true union is that of love and sympathy ! Then, enough of this mummery. Fare well. I go to consult friends about the terms of separation. Nay, do not tremble and cry and cling to me now—l shall be liberal to you. As much of my fortune shall be yours as you desire.' He pushed her from bim. She fell upon the sofa. From a heart torn with anguish, she shrieked aloud— 11 'Frank ! Frank ! why did t send you from me ? Why was blind until sight brought upon me misery ?' She lay upon the sofa sobbing and weep ing passionately. Gradually her grief ap peared to exhaust itself; her breathing be came calm ; her ekes and cheeks were dry. her head lay peacefully on her arm, over which swept her dishevelled tresses—until with a start -she cried out : 'Frank ! oh, Frank—come back !' 'Here I am,' said a soft voice by her side. She raised her head. She opened her astonished eyes. Frank was standing be fore her. 'You have been asleep,' lie said, :roiling very kindly. 'Asleep 1' 'And dreaming too, I should say—not plea.santly either. 'Dreaming!' murmured Kate,' and is it all a dream tI hope so,' said .Frank, taking her hand, 'You could not mean to send me away from you so cruelly, I know. 130 I walked in your father's study, where I have been talk. ing with him all of an hour. I came back to plead my cause once more, and found you here where I left you pleeping.' 'Oh ! what a horrible dream murmured Kate, rubbing her eyes. 'it aas so like a terrible reality that I shudder now to think of it. I thought . I was.married !' 'And would that be so horrible ?' risked Frank. hope that you did nut dream that you were married to me.' 'No I thought that I gave my . band with out my heart. No Frank,'• said Kate, her bright eyes beaming through-her tears, 4and here it is.' 'She placed her band in his—he kissed it in transport. And soon there was a real marrince—not a splendid, but a happy and delightful one —followed by a life of love and content ment ; and that was the marriage of Frank Minot and Kato Yale.

The Commissioners of the "Sinking Fund" have made a report of their operations during the last three years, from which we learn that there has been paid and extinguished of the public debt of the Commonwealth, Five Mtn ' dyed and Three Thousand Nine hundred and F/ ly Dollars and Fifteen Cents. This is the very same-" Sinking Fund" that Ex-Governor John son had passed, while he was a member of the Senate of Pennsylvania. , This is the odious measure, for which he was cried down by the so-called Democracy. This is the very Fund into which Gov. Bigler could not put his hand to squander. This is the great measure through which the state debt brought upon us by Loco kco misrule, will eventually be paid—vote for James Pollock and reduce your taxes. ' Keep it Before the People. I.

Ad Valorem Duties The folly of Ad Valorem dirtied upon articles of many descriptions, is now illustrated by the fact that when iron is at the highest rates, the duties on it raises in proportion. This circum. stance reminds - be of a story ielated by one of our merchants, alto is a member of the Demo. ctatio party, and being interested in the tariff question, he visited Washington at a session of , Congress when the writt was to be altered.— tie says that a member of the Committee of the House of Representatives, to which the subject was referred, in an interview, asked him "what was the Democratic meaning of that curious phrase, 'Ad Valorem,' among busi• ner . men"—for he 'fever "heard any mention of it at the town, where he was raiser' !"

We are glad to learn that the editor of the Democrat has a list of tho 'Know Nothings' in his possession which he de,signs publishing at "the proper time," and also that be is in pos- session of all the signs, passwords and hooks and crooks they use. If he will furnish us with this important information, we will cheer. fully accompany hint some derX night, and aid in hunting up this mysterious order ; and when found, won't we astonish the " bigots and knaves, or both," by walking into their midst under protection of full-blooded membership, for possessed of their hams pocus arts, how can they refine to recognize us? and then, won't we lash them in the. Democrat and Register, and expose this set of impudent 'knaves for preferring, as it is said they do, American born citizens to foreigners! Well, we will-T-so out with the list, neighbor; trumps are now called for, and must be played. Slander. Suits.—Simuel M. Young, of Ohio. has been sentenced in the sum of po,ooo before the Toledo court, and for *1,14000 In Vermont, for slander. in charging a father with wilfully pols °sting his ow 4 child. Bishop Lefswe . on Semi Sooieties. We learn from our Dproit exibanges that Bishop Lefevre is, just now, solely exercised on the subject of secret societies. He says, "Catholics must hate Free Masons." Odd Fel lows he denounces in unmeasured terms, and members of his church hare been ezzomnini. Gated because they dared to join that order.— Sons of Temperance, Rachabites and Good Tempters, the pious Bi : thop says, are "hipocrit ical fools," and legs his followers "they must not' ain them." But, of all others, the Know Nothing come in for his greatest, holiest Papal ' Curse; and he has oflered a reward of five hun dred dollars to any man who will join a Know Nothing lodge and keep him informed of their doings and purposes. Now all this holy hor ror may be very politic and consistent for a Jesuit—that which a more dangerous and mer cenary political organization never existed in the world, and of which all the Bishops and Priests in this country are members—may be very consistent for this Jesuit Bishop, Lefevre, who it is said has a "Society of the Guild," which he directs, and the sole object of which is to direct the conduct of hired girls in Prot. estant families, to gather up from them, and to report to him the private aflaira and views of every Protestant family where Catholic girls are employed. These secret Roman Catholics so• . cieties exist everywhere. In Harrisburg they have a branch of the secret Order of Jesuits, as i well as a "Society of the Guild," directed by the Priest, by which a system of espoinage has beet. established upon all Protestant families. And theie pious Bishops and Priests who con trol the moat powerful and dangerous secret pa litico•religious organization in the world, are fe rocious in their denunciations of all American secret associations. And the pensioned writ.. biers of the Democratic Press, while they de. nounce Know Nothings as "cowardly conspir ators" and "traitors," are silent as the grave with regard to the bloodthirsty 'Jesuits, who. while professing loyalty to this government, are traitors at heart, and conspirators against the rights and liberties of the American people. Ohio Election The approaching canvass for members of Congress in - Ohio bids fair to be a most spirited affair. Notwithstanding the enormous rnajnii ties by which the Democrats have carried the State in the last few years, the Cincinatti Ga zette is inclined to believe that there is a clear opposition makirity of some fifteen thousand, divided between the Whig and Free Soil par ties. in the present canvass these two have united upon the same candidates, and the main contest throughout the State is upon the Nebraska question. In the present Congress 1 Ohio is represented in the House by seven Whigs, twelve Democrats and two Free Soil. ere, and the Gazette thinks that the chances are in favor of every one of the districts being rep resented by an anti-Administration member in the next Congress. The Democracy. The great unterrifiecr; the party which is "always rigid," have two State tickets ir. the field in New York. What a band of brothers, fighting for principles.; (five loves and two small fishes.) . The fun of it is That the free Boilers who coaxed soft headed Whigs to vote for Van Buren in 1,848, now go` in for slavery with the President. Always right says Gov. Bigter: — Always for principle, For whatsoever king shall reign I'll be the Vicar of Bray Sir.

Mifflin Hanntim, Allentown. ft will be seen that the Democracy of Allen town, have helped themselves, to All the fat offices, and given the Democracy of thecoun ty the lean ones. Since the nomination we have heard that Charles Ritter, E,q., has sent in his resignation, declining the honor confer. red upon him. The office is said to be worth something less than ten dollars a year. Pennsylvania Gubernatorial Canvas —Demo cratic meetings have been held in Sullivan and Tioga counties, at which resolutions were adop ted declaring that they "will not support any man for office who has not been openly and unequivocally opposed to the repeal of the Mis souri Compromise and. to the extension of sla very into free territory,and who will not pledge himself to use his whole influence for the re enactment of said Compromise." This sounds rather ominous for Guy. Bigler. Wheat in California—The Union states that since they commenced threshing on the ranch of Messrs. Hutchinson and Green, on the Putah Creek Yolo County, the Superintendent, Cap tain Clary, measured ten acres, forty rods square, hauled the wheat to the machine, ' threshed and weighed it. The weight was forty thousand and four pounds, which at six ty pounds to the bushel, gave sixty-six and two-thirds bushels of wheat to the acre. This is a larger yield per acre than we have ever known taken ofl the same quantity of land. It is a Fact.--That water let into the North Branch Canal extension ran five miles up the stream without stopping: We are so in formed by a gentleman well acquainted with the matter, who says the water Stood fourteen 'inches deep five miles above Buttermilk Falls where the water entered, and the bottom of tha Canal was dry below it. The Democrat of Montrose, the North Branch Democrat, and the Luzerne Union, all organs of the party in power, condemn the manage, mant of this great work, and still ask the De mocracy of the. North to support the adminis tration which has been so criminally negligent of their interests. Can Luzerne be whipt into the pike ? IVilkesbarrc The Main Elation Ilea resulted in the success of the fustunist pat y. This was a un ion in favor of the "Know Nothings," the Maine Law, and against the Nebraska bill. This combination bas swept the field, beating both the Whig and Democratic tickets. Morrill, Democratic, the candidate of this party, is elec. ted Governor. They have a large majority in the Clouse of Representatives, and have elec ted all the Congressman. AA Artificial Wonder.— They have sunk an Artesian well in St. Louis ,2,200 feet, and are still boring. It is to get pure water for a sugar refinery. At the depth of 700 feet a vein of salt water was struck, and at 1,500 feet an' immense vein of sulphur water burst forth, which has been runninq ever : since its discovery in a large stream from the mouth of the well. This water is the same as that of the Blue Lick Springs in Kentucky, and possesses a purity and freshness of taste quite superior to that which reaches us In barrels and casks. It is carried by a large sewer leading to the river. It seems too wasteful that such profuse quan. tities of this celebrated water should be permit ted to flow away, but the refinery needs the clear unadulterated element, and it must lave if and nothing else. Other medicinal waters Have been discovered, we believe, but they have been of little consequence. Price of.Coal.—We understand that our coal deileis have ~knocked under,"in other words reduced their pricei somewhat, since our citi. tens have begba to send to other phic'esfee their supply of coal. This is what we expected; but they have not put the prices down to the right figure yet, ant! we therefore adviee opr' readers to hold on a little longer, before they lay in their velitter i 'e stock. 'the man who pays the prices at which coal is sold it, present in this city,loses the iotereit of hit money. The speculators—the hatyies whose clutches ere ever on the poor— are 9, monopoly who ought to be resisted. Coal will be no higher in January thadit itiatthis moi went. The best way, is'to keep.yosir money till you want the. article, a nd tber, buy where you can get it cheapest. Want to See that Private Letter. The Derks County Democratic Press, edited by Col. Meyers, formerly NRepresentative in the Legislature, speaks thus plainly about that temperance letter of Gov. Bigler, that Rev. John Chambers. and Dr. John Patrick are cariying about in their breeches pockets. The Democra cy of 'old Berks" don't want to be humbugged, they are determined !hat the Governor shakile fine his position unequivocally one way or the the other. The Press 'says: "The Governor's friends in this county have ever considered him an opponent of a prtihtbito• ry li. uor law. It is now claimed that 'he has ma ' a confident of the Rev John Chambers, who life of the prohibitory liquor law party, and who declares himself a personal and a po litical friend of Gov. Bigler. It would therefore be allowed the Governor's friends to see it. We can assure Gov. Bigler's friends in other pla ces, that .th . ere are manypemocrats in Berks county who wish to seethe letter before they ad. trance fdribet, and who willS a Gov. Bigler by his owb metits, and not b t the fanatic Chambers wishes to say of his future acts and intentions. Neither will they be misled by such an editorial on behalf of Mr. Chambers as the Gazytte put foyth. "They wish to know in plain terms, whether the present incumbent is for or against a prohibitory law." Damage Committed by thelnseots. • Judge Meigs remarked that this was a very important subject for discussion. The span worm and catapillar did damage to our crops to the amount of one huodred million of dollars an. nually. More damage is done by these insects • to America than all that the combined armies and navies of Europe. could from April to No vember. The damage committed in France in one year upon wheat, grapes, and potatoes, by these insects, Is estimated as greater• then that would pay fur Napoleon's campaign to Mose cow. 'The judge considered that our intellect should be employed to conquer this insect,— Ile recommended the destruction of the insects while in the egg. Frofessor Mapes exhibited a diagram, by the means of which he destroyed the caterpillar.-- lie had Tour tubes in which were inserted a cot. ton wick, in a lamp. The flame'was light, and did not burn the wood, but it was sufficient to scorch the respiratory organs of the caterpillar and destroyed it. Early in the morning and AP' ternoon were the proper times to catch them— This plan will completely root out caterp:llars from the grape vine, if applied once in three weeks. The Professor did not approve of gun. powder, it might shake the caterpillar out, of the nest, but it would not kill it. The best remedy he considered for the peach worm, was to plant it an inch higher than it was when it is taken out of the nursery. Mr. Warren staled that an acquaintance of his in Burlington, Vermont, wrapped around the foot of peach trees a black cloth, and the ins ects have never been found to go over it. Its object being to seek darkness, it goes under the cloth and feeds, on the outer bark. The cloth is taken off every week, and the worms killed. The best variety of potatoes, and the best way of cultivating them, was fixed on as the subject for discussion at the next meeting. The club then adjourned. I The Month of l'idories.--On the 6th of September 1813, the United States brig Enterprise captor. ed the British brig Boxer in forty-five minutes, Perry's Victory on Lake Erie, 10th of Septem ber, 11113, Chauncey's Victory on Lake o,ita rio, 11th of September, 1813.

The New Dollar Coin.- 7 -The Secretary of the Treasury his ordered the new gold dollar coin, described at length, some time since, to be sub stituted for the American gold dollar coin now in circulation. The new coin has as large a surface as the silver five cent piece. Orders have been sent to have them struck off in all the United dates Mints in which coining is done. No more of the current told dollar coin will be struck .Naragation of the Ohlu River.—The New York Herald, of Tuesday, his the following: "At Pittsburg, on the 25th lost. , there were fifteen inches of water in the Ohio, and falling. At no time since the commencement of steam. boat navigation on the western rivers has the Ohio been entirely free of some description of steam vessels above Cincinna t i, until the pres. ent season. Navigation has been suspended since the Mai of July, at which time the last boo t passed the foot of Illannerhasset island, which is about one handier! wiled below Wheeling.— The bar at that point is now the greatest obstrpc. tid'n in the river, and although a number of boats from Cincinnati, bound to Pittsburg and Wheel ingr ascended the river as Par as that island Sub' sequent to ttie al:Are : date, they found , that there was not sufficient water on the bar for them to cross, and they were consequently compelled to return with their freight. Navigation has thus virtually been closed for a period of upwards of six weeks. A number of dew low-water boats were built this season, a t Pittibrirg and Wheel. lag, to anph!kr place of the packets which ihnh fir, have had no chance to display them selves, and their 'owners have sustuined great loss in consequence.''

The woods ear burning in every quarterin the lowlands and in the highlands--in the valleys, by the cleat : . ings, and on the mountain sides and tops. ,The papers bring new reports every mail. An im mense amount of timber has already been de,. stroyed there. and unless heavy rains are vouch.' sated early, far more must be done. , Let not those who are in need of a hemlock board, or a • spruce clap board, however, go into spasms of fear lest lumber will be increased in price bSr ! the fires. One would suppose that higher prices . could hardly be made to stick to boards, shingles, laths,oviumberof any sort. Owners Of the peat forests that are yet uncut,—of thoston which so many poor speculators were so sadl,)t sltick twenty years ago,—could hardly 'fiaire the con• science to hope for higher. Then, freights are mortally dear. It costs about half as flinch to get a load of stuff from Bangor or Brunswick now, as the stuff itself cost in our yards six years ago. The "times," we soviet, can hardly ad vance it much more, before the spurred ingenu: ity of men will devise some other material Co supply its place and give lumber the go by. ; But these fires, whose smoke hangs over all the northeast —for our comfort be it said—do' not most rage in districts where the timber stands ready to be cut, drawn, and fed to the saws.— They run through the young growth, and mostly' over the "logging grounds," where large quanta... ties of well dried branches and withered foliage lays like tinder waiting only for a spark to kin dle it into very hot fires. In the great * tracts or large spruce and hard wood, from which the immediate supplies to the market must come, dry as it is, the fire would hardly run. The sett.' lers alone, the valleys, while they shake their: heads and see Sad omens in the thick, smoky air yet do not fear to run fire over their new clearr ings to consume the trees already felled, though they outline the thickest grown forests. But 017' an old encampment, or where logs were drawn out last year, the woodman, when he shakes out' the ashes of his pipe, kicks away the leaves, and buries them an inch or two deep in damp soil, He is shy of firing into the patridges, though' they stand as domestic fowl in his path, and to' almost every great bear story he annexes the in.' evitable statement, that he hadn't his gun with him," because "the woods are so dry,,,* One' good smashing rain, that would set all the springs to running and the rivers to dashing: over their dry, stone banks, would make 'the whole land laugh with the comfort it would Wirt an d t h e mischief it would check.:—/3rotheilJuire alkan. The Indians—Their Lands and Treaties. Mr. Robinson, Indian Agent, has issued a nom :ice to the public, in which he says: "The late treaty with the Delaware tribe of Indians tong other things; provides 'thee the P esident soon as the whole, or any onion of the lands ceded by said treaty to t e tilted States are surveyed lands for sate at public auction, in such quantities as be max deem proper, being governed in all respects in conducting such sales by the laws of the United' States respecting the sales of the public !ands.., his farther provided by said treaty, that all the moneys received by the sales of said lands, after deducting the costs of surveying, managing, and selling the same, shall be paid to said tribe. The treaty' also provides that the provisions of the net oI Congriss, approved 3d of March, one thousand eight hiindred and seven, la relation tO the lands ceded to the United States:shill,tilar as applicable, be extended io die land's 'theleiti' ceded. So it will be - at once seen that these kids' can in no wise be subjected to preeinption or hothestead laws, without a palpable violation tie the treaty.
