; tug this terrible disaster there still wt a striek
of luck to the Lehigh Valley RailroaTtCompa
ny for its occurring at the time it did—on
Tuesday afternoon, because on ate following
morning some 30 or 40 cars were about being !
loaded by merchants in New York and Phila
delphia with new style Fall and Winter Goods,l
all of which were to pass over the Bridge the
same afternoon, directly to Allentown, and there
to be unloaded at Joseph St opp's Cheag Cash
Store, No. 35 West Hamilton street. 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

NORMAN STEWART.
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

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

only relieved from her domestic misery by the
ignominious death of her husband : and she, in
surviving him, lingered out a miserable exist

Thus we see that even the secret acti,m4 of the

God's Glorious Gict—water.
The Eternal Father of us all has brewed it
for his children. It has been produced, not in
filthy distilleries, but in beautiful fragrant
pta
ces. It• has been brewed down in yon grassy
dell, where the deer linger, and the rippling rills
sing thier wild lullaby; or away upon the
mountain tops, where the blazing sun has light

ocean, where showers and storms are born. It

Keep your Sabbath.
Be jealous on this point. Whether you live'
in town or country, resolve not to profane your
Sabbath. Once give over caring for the Sab
bath, and in the end you will give over caring
for your soul. Tho steps which leMi to this are
regular. Begin with not honoring God's
day, and you will not honor God's house, cease•
to honor God's book, and-by-and-by you will
give God no honor at all. Let any one lay the
f .undation with no Sabbath, and I am never
surprised if lie finishes with the topstone of no
God. It was a remarkable saying of Judge
Hale, that of all the persons convicted of capi—
tal crimes while he was upon the bench, ho
found a few who did not confess that they be
gan their career of wickedness by a neglect of
the Sabbath.
