It is evident that if these cars, with their heavy freight, had been shipped in time to get on the Midge, that, their immense weight would haver broken down the entire structure, and precipita ted their contents into the Delaware, and thus would have incurred a loss to the Company of between $300,000 and $400,000 ; and not this alone, but the citizens of Allentown and vicini ty would also have felt, the loss, because if this ' immense quantity of cheap goods would have been *lst, it would certainly have caused a scarcity, and a rise of 20 per cent. But by the aid of luck and the telegraph the intern ! Bence of the accident was communicated to Philadelphia, and Stop') consequently had His goods loaded during the three successive days, on steamboats, canal boats, wagons, carts, wheelbarrows, backs of niggers, &c., and now they have commenced to land at his new Store Home. His clerks are now engaged both day and night in unpacking and selling goods. As I passed by there last night between 11 and 12 o'clock, I stepped in, and to my astonishment found perfect mountains of goods piled from' floor to ceiling. I passed bad: through the Store and saw a pile of about 500 Shawls, of: all colors and prices—from $25 down to 371. cts. a piece. On the other side 1 saw about 1 4000 yards finey De Laines ; and a little fur ther along about 6000 yds. of twilled Persian Cloth : on the other side I hit my elbow against 14 or 15 cart loads of Calico, and a little fur-1 titer along there was a pile of S or 10,000 yds. I shirting and sheeting from to 21 yds: wide. I then looked for then and boys' wear, and on one side of the store saw many thousand yards of cloths, cassimetes, sattinetts, Kentucky jeans, tweeds, &c., of all colors and prices.— l 1 then began to get towards the rear end of the store, and my eyes fell on carpets, oil cloths. 10 ,, king glasses, window shades, glass and . queensware. By this time I began to get pretty tiled and sleepy. and as 1 turned around at the' end of the store I mauls a mis-step and down I went, head over heels, tato the cellar. When I opened my eyes anal my senses were restored, I saw a stack of salt in one corner from floor to ceiling ; on the other side there was the nicest sugar, coffee, molasses, cheese, and mackerel I ever laid eyes on. I asked one of the clerks some of the prices, and after I was told. I felt disgosted on reflecting that I had so long been a 1 foul by paying double prices for my goods else where. It was almost daytime now, and I de termitic(' after breakfast to send you these facts for publication in the Register.

One Sunday afternoon, during a short resi deuce at the sea -coast, near the town of B--, my attention was attracted towards an elderly lady, in whose countenance there was a beauty and sadness which deeply interested me. She was dressed in deep mourning, and her air and manner showed that her thoughts were not cen tered on aught around her, or on this world. " You seemed wonderfully attracted by Miss Aymer's appearance," said a friend who was along with me. " Would you like to hear her story ?" If I mny judge by her appearance," I an swered, " it must be one of disappointed hopes and youthful affection blighted." " Come with me," said my friend ; " you must learn it in a strange and wild spot—a proper place for so sad a narrative." So saying, we walked along the sea-coast till we reached a place where the cliffs began to rise abruptly, and continued to beetle over the foaming waves, till they ended in a fearful pre cipiet, whose awful depth and horrid appear ance made the very brain giddy. Ascending by a sloping pathway, we reached the summit of this cliff; and, gazing down from its giddy height, beheld the waves dashing and foaming at its base in wild and terrible turmoil. The wide expanse of ocean spread till it seemed sinking in the distant horizon ; and as each huge billow came rolling onwards, and with thundering sound dashed against the white cliffl>, the white foam flew half way up the gid dy steep, and, lashed into spray, fell back in showers into the ocean's breast again: whilst the reiterated action of the waves, at each re turning tide, had worked vast caverns in the strata, far into the interior of the cliffs, where, with a strange dull sound, like distant thun ders, the rushing element chafed unseen, and added mysterious noises to the din that reigned around. The wildest of Ow Rpm-bird tribes, the gull, the cormorant, marrot, and suiau. goo se, attracted hither more probably by the facility of catching their finny prey amidst the turmoil, than by aught else, moved in clouds about the face of the rock, superadding to the hubbub their harsh and discordant shrieks and cries. The scene was altogether one of wild and stun- fling confusion. " Mark the scene well," said my companion. " Now, turn your gaze from this cliff, and watch the spire of yon village church, which rises above the trees in yonder valley. All there is peace and quietness. Thirty years have now elapsed since Norman Stewart came to yonder village, to discharge the duties of assistant to the manager of the branch of a provincial bank which was then flourishing there. Norman was the son of a much-respected clergyman, whose sole desire had been to give his son an education which would enable him to bear his part with the highest in the land. Of distant, retired man ners himself, the father of Norman reared his son in seclusion, and the home of his youth be came to him a,school in which every good and honorable principle was implanted in his breast, while, at the same time, that seclusion gave a romantic turn to his mind, tending to color re ality's stern pictures with the dreamy effusions of fancy. The only periods at which Norman left his paternal roof, was when attending the college in Edinburgh, where his assiduity and rapid progress gained him the approbation of all who knew him. In every manly accomplishment also he excelled, and his society was esteemed and courted,.while his amiable disposition ren- I dered him a favorite with all who knew him. It was then the intention of his father to have him educated for the clerical professidit ; but having powerful friends, whose interest would I avail him more otherwise, he reluctantly con e sented to his accepting of a clerkship in a pro : vinicial bank, of which a cousin of his own Was one of the directors. - To the branch of this bank in yonder village Norman carne; but it seemed strange that his accomplishments, education and gentlemanly demeanor, instead *of meeting with encourage ment and support, created only feeling of envy I and hatred in the petty minds of those .with whoM he was obliged to associate. They felt and acknowledged the superiority of his tal ents ; but this, at the same tinie, Showed them the insignificance of their own : and lowered in their own self-esteem, hatred towards the unwitting cause of their humiliation became the ruling feature in many a breast: In the immediate:neighborhood lived a weal thy baronet, whose only daughter was the fa vorite of all the surrounding country. A love lier being than Isabella Aymer never breathed. Iler acts of kindness and charity were man.fold, and her praises were the theme of every tongue. Indeed, she was one worthy of being loved.— Amongst other letters of introduction .which. Norman had, was one to the baronet, which he took an early. opportunity of delivering, and he was received with much kindness and attention. Pleased with the modest, and unassuming de- meanor of the young man, the baronet pressed him to repeat his visit, and to consider his house as a home. Norman availed himself of the invitation, and felt an indescribable plea sure in the society of Isabella, who, on her part, justly esteeming Ills qualifications of the yoUth, paid him the most marked respect. Poor Nor man little knew the danger lie was incurring, nor the vile machinations which are laid to ruin his peace of mind. His repeated visits to the baronet's only increased the envy and hatred of those around him, and a small coterie of scandal-mongers and maliciously-disposed par ties devised a diabolical plot to injure him. One evening previous to a country ball, to which he had been invited, a letter was received by him. It was written in a fashionable female hand, and bore a crest on the seal. Ile opened it ; and beheld written a painting of a red rose and a sprig of myrtle, while underneath were the words— " Mark this well and Judge might. You Inset ins at the ball tu-niglit.' Surprised at this, Norman ruminated over the subject, and his heart and mind jumped at once to the conclusion that it must have come ' from Isabella. All doubt was removed by the seal, as he had seen a similar one in her pos session. With a tumult of joyful feelings he pressed the card to his lips, and life seemed now to have tenfold pleasure to him. He atten ded the ball, and sat in a fever of anxiety till Isabella entered the ball-room, leaning on - the arm of her father. As she entered. she caught the impassioned look of the youth, and her cheek slightly colored at his ardent gaze. Love lives on trifles : so it fared with Norman. 'Her look—her blush were both construed by to be an open declaration of her love. Several dances passed before lie had the courage to ad dress her ; but when he did so, his strange flur ried manner attracted her attention, and she I kindly inquired if he was well enough. Ile stammered forth an answer in tne ..... z... to the next quadrille. She smiled and rose with him, yet still his agitation was so visible that she really thought he was ill ; and acting upon this feel ing, her language and looks assumed a kindly„j softened expression, which increased rather ! than lessened the flame which consumed him. When the dance was finished, and as he led her to her seat, sho pressed his hand, and advised Win to be guarded of his health. Heart and brain seemed burning—the very room was reel ing round with him ; but he was again recalled to his senses by her soft accents advising him to retire, as the heated room was evidently in jurious to him. Scarcely knowing what he was doing, he bowed and wttUrem Early next morning a letter, in the same harid-writing as the former card, was hanchid to .him. H. bore the well-known crest. He broke it open and read— " DEAR NonuttN,—l hope that you are better this morning. Be more guarded in future. Your agitation had almost betrayed us lust night. In future, when we meet in public, you must act ,a different, part. We must rather greet each other as - strangers. For my sake do this. I will be in church on Sunday first. Do not fail to be there. Yours affectiotnitely, " ISABELLA." It seemed an age till that Sunday came, and Norman was in attendance at church. He ea gerly glanced towards the well known pew, and there, in unmatched beauty, sat the mis tress of his soul. She smiled, and he was hap py. Wrapt in dreams of Elysium, the service soon passed, and Norman watched Isabella stepping into her carriage. She turned and catching his look, smiled and bowed. Ere re turned home—that fatal passion was increased ten thousand fold. Again a note was handed to him : • " DEAR NORMAN,--I have seen you, and am glad' that you obeyed my instructions. Above all, I charge you not to write to mo, as your letters, falling into my father's hands, might create mischief. I enclose you a ring, contain ing a locket of my hair—wear it for my sake. Yours affectionately. " Ismmt.t.a." Thus passed nearly a month, and every time ho met her, her accustomed kindliness of heart was construed by the unhappy youth into fresh protestations of the depth of her affection. Every glance, or smile, or gesture was inter preted, where all were dictated by kindness, into manifestations of afEctfon, and Norman Ste Wart sunred himaelf to sink deeper and deeper into the dream of happiness that seemed to throw its spell around him. At length a cavalry regiment was stationed in the neighboring town: The . colonel became a frequent visitor at the baronet's mansion, and the rumor ran that he was soon to lead Isabel la to the hymeneal altar. The intelligence came like a thunderbolt on poor Norman—sense and brain reeled beneath the shock, and in a parox ysm of rage, grief, and jealousy, he penned a letter to Isabella, referring to her repeated pro fessions of love, and upbraiding her with cruel ty in countenancing the addresses of another. this pence of mind, he added, was for ever gone, and he prayed her to give him a meeting with out delay. In the evening an express from the barone arrived, requesting his immediate attendance, as the baronet wished particularly to see him. Agitated beyond measure, as a feeling of dark, deep, dread weighed down his spirits, Norman instantly obeyed the summons ; and on arriving at the mansion, was shown into an apartment where he found the Baronet and Isabella. It' was evident that she had been weeping, and both she and her father received him with a distant politeness that struck him to the heart. Motioning him to be seated, the baronet turned to him and said— " Young man, you wished an interview with my daughter. I have consented thatshe should meet with you ; but, as her father, I have a right to know upon what grounds you persume that my daughter has encouraged your address es." " If she authorizes me to produce the eviden ces," said Norman ,mournfully, " I will do so ; but I hold any communication from her too sa cred for even her father's eyes." With a voice trembling with emotion, Isabel la turned to him and said— " Let my father be the Judge between us, if ever I suspected that any attention of mine ex ceeded that of sincere friendship." Norman placed his hand in his bosom, end drawing forth a small packet, placed it in her hand. Turning to her father she handed them to him, and the baronet opening the packet perused the letters before referred to. Not a muscle of his face moved till he finished the perusal of them, an I handing them back to his daughter, said, calmly— " Read these letters. They certainly demand some attention." 1 • She obeyed.' As she read, her, countenance exhibited much surprise and indignation ; and when she closed the letters, her look was bent on Norman with deep sympathy. She arose. nitl e dil l itft her hand oa his arm, said With " And could you thinti. au • ut mu or, imagine fur one moment that I would depart so far from all maidenly modesty as to pen such 1 letters as these ?" llis face was deadly pale—his very lips were blackened, and every nerve shook as his eye as sumed the dull glazed hue of death. Still he spoke not, '• There is some foul conspiracy on foot to in jure your feelings and my character,".she ad ded mildly. " Norman, these letters were no written by me. I never saw or heard of then till now." A bitter groan burst flout his lips, and the very strings of his heart were breaking assun der. The baronet saw and felt for him. •• Take courage, my young friend," ho said kindly—" take courage. Though it should cost me fifty thousand pounds, I will trace cut the perpetrators of this scandalous act, and punish them. Isabella—love, leave us for an instant." She walked towards the door, while Norman stood transfixed as if he had changed from a liv ing being to stone. Her movement for a mo ment aroused him from his stupor, and he gazed after her with a wildness that made the baronet tremble for his reason. As the door closed, Norman breathed a deep convulsive sigh. " Come, come," said the baronet kindly, "view this matter in another light." " I will, I 1% ill," said Norman faintly, as a strange smile passed across his countenance. " You will remain here to-night," said the baronet. " You will not think of leaving us ?'' I must, I must," was the hurried rejoinder. I will send the carriage with you, then,'' the offer. No, no ; thanks for your kindness. I will walk home ; the air is cool, and I require it." Ile walked towards the door as he spoke. and hastily bidding the baronet good-bye, lei% the house. Still there was a,strange uneasiness on the part of the baronet and he caused two of the :servants to follow him, and see him safe home. I= It was late before the servants returned, as a snow storm had set in, and compelled them to take shelter by the road ; but the mind of their master was somewhat relieved by their stating that Norman had gone straight to his own dWel ling. Isabella and her father sat down to supper, but neither partook thereof; both wore sad, and remained wrapped in thought. Supper was re• moved, and Isabella, drawing in her embroidery frame, was preparing to finish a little sketch which she had been previously engaged at, when on a sudden, the needle fell from her hand, and she sat with looks of fixed horror gazing before her. A thrill of terror ran through the veins or her father, as ho beheld her looks and rigid at• laude, when, with a piercing shriek, she sprang from her seat and exclaimed— • "Merciful God ! Father, father ! fly, save him !' See !" she shrieked wildly. ." Ho is ascending yogi fearful clif f : ho is on the brink of it. Norman, Korman ! 0, horror ! The rosining pillows have received him !" Shriek, followed shriek as she sank convul• sively into:her father's arms. Thq servants, terrified by the cries, rushed into the apartment. Medical aid was instantly sent for, while some of the servants, well-mounted, were ordered to I gallop off to the village and inquire for Norman. They returned ; ho was not to be found, but a I letter addressed to Isabella was discovered ly ing on a table. The letter was handed to the baronet,who shook violently as he perceived it sealed with black wax. With a trembling hand he broke it open, and glancing . at it, ut tered a bitter groan and sank back in his seat ; but instantly starting up, he exclaimed— "lt may not be too late yet. Mount, mount ; alarm the inhabitants." He rushed forth, and springing on horse back, dashed with headlong fury to the village. The inhabitants were alarmed. Dreadful al though the night was, and a fierce tempest rag ing, they set out with alarcity on the search-. Torches were obtained, and a thorough search took place ; fresh footsteps were traced in the sand and sludge leading towards the cliff. The boldest heart shrunk back at the terrible scene. The sea, lashed into foam, glowed liked a' fiery cauldron, while the thunder rolled incessantly, and the broad lightning glanced along the foam ing billows ; and as each huge wave dashed against .the rock, the very earth shook and trembled. The search continued till dawn, when the cloak and hat of the unhappy . youth were found close on the verge of the cliff, indi cating too plainly the lamentable fate of their owner. A length of time elapsed before Isabella re covered from the dreadful shock which she re ceived. By a tacit understanding, neither she nor her father recurred to the awful event. Pub lic sympathy went with her. Many were the of fers of marriage which she received, but she re fused thenr all. The baronet died and left her the heiress of his wealth, and in charitable ac tions to all around her she spends the evening dm, dedu ui ljfigAarli of deep mourning has death, and she still clings to his memory With fond yet sad recollection. I The authors cf the plot which hurried poor Norman to seltdestruction wore latterly found out, and their subsequent course through life was marked by the avenging hand of a Higher Power. One diel in a madhouse ; another suf fered the penalty of the law for forgery ; and a third committed suicide. The fate of the young lady, who, prompted by the rancour of an unrequitted passion for Norman had acted as accomplice in penning the forged epistles. was ego-ally severe. She became the wife of the forger, In whose degrading crimes she also became an accomplice. It was scarcely prob able that a union, which might be said to havo been based upon association in crime, was like ly to prove happy. The unhappy woman, wag only relieved from her domestic misery by the ignominious death of her husband : and she, in surviving him, lingered out a miserable exist ence, sustaining the whole disgrace of the odi ous connection she had so unhappily formed. Thus we see that even the secret acti,m4 of the wicked are brought to recoil upon themselves. God's Glorious Gict—water. The Eternal Father of us all has brewed it for his children.

It sparkles in the ice•gem. It makes the grace ful forest tissue on the moonlight plays. • It. dallies in the cataract ; weaves the snow -wreath and the emeralds setting on the mountain peak.
