, GREAT RAIL ROAD ACCIDENT!
$5O 000 LOST AT EASTON.—Great Fall
• of the Railroad Bridge—two lo
como•ives precipitated into the Canal—One
man killed and several wounded. Accompany
ing this terrible disaster there still was a striek
!I of luck to the Lehigh Valley Railroad Compa
ny for its occurring at the time it did—on
Tuesday afternoon. because on the following
morning some 30 or 40 cars were about being
loaded by merchants in New York and Phila
delphia with new style Full and Winter Goods,
all of which were to pass over the Bridge the
saute afternoon, directly to Allentown, and there
to he unloaded at Joseph Stopp's Chen; Cash
Store, No. 35 West Hamilton street. It is
evident that it' these cars, with their heavy
freight, had been shipped in time to get on the'
Midge, that their immense weight would have
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 8300.000 and 84110.000: and not this
alone, hut the citizens of Allentown arid vicini
ty would also have felt the loss, because if this
immense quantity of cheap goods would have ;
been loss, it would certainly have caused a
scarcity, and a rise of 20 per cent. But by
the aid of luck and the telegraph the intelli
gence of the accident, was communicated to
Philadelphia, and Stopp consequently had his
goods loaded during the three successive days,
on steamboats, canal boats, wagons, carts,
wheelbarrows, hacks of niggers, &c., and now,
they have commenced to land at his new Store
House. His clerks are now engaged both day
and night in unpacking and selling goods. As!
I passed by there last night between li and 12
o'clock, I stepped in. and to my astonishment
found perfect mountains of goods piled front
floor to ceiling. I passed hack through the
Store and saw a pile of about 500 Shawls, of
nll colors and prices—from $25 clown to 37 1 1
cts. a piece. Ott the other side I saw about
4000 yards fancy De Laines ; end a little fur
ther along about 0000 yds. of twilled Persian

shop. with handsome curtains on the inside,

I dear little beauties of bonnets, of all styles. and
trimmed in every immaginahle way, with bright
ribbons and d,licate flowers. formed with ex

I maidens.
Were not these attractions ? Yes. George
never passed the door of Madame Josephine
Lavelle, from Paris, without casting a glance
into the windoWs or through those beautiful
I glass doors, the neatest in the city.,
George did so often, for he often passed on
his way to and front his hoarding place ; but it
was not for the sake of the bonnets or ribbons
of Madame Josephine, for he had seen them of
ten, but it was to steal a glanoe and get a look
as often as possible nt Madame's little Jenny
Irving, or '• Queen of Beauty" as she was right
ly called.
Yes, Jenny Irving, the orphan, or the " poor
orphan" as she was sometimes called, was Ma
dame Lavelle's favorite apprentice, and possess
ed the first love of George Lenox.
She had caught a prize without angling for it.
In our hero's estimation she was the most
bewitching of maidens. Her tiny, but fault
less form. golden hair, bright blue eyes, dimp
cheeks and dainty mouth Mil; ed attractions
could not resist ; and then her voice, so
:et and musical, was melody in itself, and
baby hands so fair and soft, and her fairy

which she trod, actually charmed him, and
tpleted the conquest which Cupid—little
tee, had so artfully planned and so success
ly carried forward.

but his evenings were generally his

Jenny was not by any means without other
admirers.
Many a young man in the neighborhood
would discommodate himself much to accmm.r
date het•, and considered himself well paid if he
could thus win a smile or a thank you from
her sweet lips.
But George was the favorite lover, and he sed
ulously improved his' opportunities, until final

Such reports spread like wild lire. and this
one was not long in reaching the cars of Mr.

OR, THE LITTLE MILLINER.
BY BATE KARLYLE
Guirge Lenox was a cl..tic in a whd'rsale gro
cery in one of the easte-n cities. George was
an ambitious younr , man, had many bright
hopes of future, and was generally in good
spirits, though sometimes the great highway of
life seemed darkened, and the star of hope
shone feebly in his path.
But Georg was honest, and his employers,
had long since come to the conclusion that he
was just the cleric for them.
So much George Lenox.
:refore, soon after Mr. Moore first heard
tovo report, he called George . to one sine
opened the case" to him, concluding by
ig at partnership in case matters turned
'orally.
old man's proposal took George some
ay surprise ; but as a young man of' !min
he felt duty bound to give un immediate
tcisive answer.

to know that you hold me in such high

know it, sir, and I do not wish it ;
her for herself, but not money," replied
t, indignantly and with spirit.
?ry well, sir, said Mr. Moore, and he left
" That's enough to support you, eh ?" said
Moore. •
" No, but it will make me happy," replied
George.
•• Happiness and poverty are two exact op
posites, in my opinion," replied Tom, " and
you will find it hard work to reconcile them."
" I will try."
" Well, do if you please, and by and by re
! port progress. I fancy that girl myself, but I
cannot afford to marry a beggar. A wife with
out money is a poor prize."
" Jenny is no beggar," was on George's lips
in reply. but ere he had time to speak he was
summoned to attend a customer.
•'Jenny will show her value yet," said a low,
musical voice behind him, and on turning, lie
saw Jenny, who had glided in noiselessly to
bring him an invitation to a party she had just j
received for him, holding another in her hand
on which her own name was written.
She had unintentionally heard young Mo,ve's
remark, and well understood its meaning, much
better, in fact, than George understood the
meaning of her's when she said :
" Jenny will show her value yet."
But a few days elipsed ere the story got
around that George had been offered the hand
• of the rich Mr. Moore's daughter, and had de
clined for that of Jenny Irving.
Some wondered at his choice, while others
considered it out of true love, and consequently
true wisdom.
Time wore away, and one year brought
around the day fixed for George and Jenny's
wedding.
One evening, but a few days previous to the
time appointed. they were conversing together
at Jenny's aunt's, where she boarded.
" We shall be obliged to have a plain wed
ding I suppose: and commence life in a snug
way, for my income is not very large ; you
know. Jenny," said George.
" As you please, George, any way that is
most agreeable to you, and in which we can
live the happiest. But are you not going to
take me to church in your carriage ?"
•' In a carriage, perhaps, though not proba
bly in my carriage, as I have not yet. the plea
sure of owning one," replied George.
•• Jus so. Well, then, suppose I send mine
after you
•• Yours ! That would be a joke for a milli
,ner girl, hardly out of her apprenticeship • to
set up a carriage of her own and send it ()Waf
ter her intended on the day of her wedding."
" Stranger things have happened," replied
Jenny.
" Yes it may be, but the thing does not seem
possible, or at least - Robablein our case. You
were not born to a firtune."
" Indeed !" replied Jenny. " Your remarks
are not c dculated to give me a very exalted
position in life ; but I will forgive my future
husband this time, and he has not yet very
closely investigated toy personal history. Of
one thing I am certain, however, and that at
flirds me no little gratiflOation. You did not
marry me for my money, little beggar as I am,
or at least what Mr. Tom Moore saw fit to des- i
ignate me."
Nothing more was said about fortunes then,
but George had a sudden surprise in store for
him : something as startling and unexpected as
anything could he.
On his bridal morning, as he was dressing,
at his boarding house, an elegant. carriage.
with a span of milk white horses, stopped at
the door, and the driver springing from his
seat, rung the door bell, and inquired for Mr.
George Lenox.
'• What does this mean ? I engaged a car
riage, but. not near so elegant a one as this.—
There's something wrong," thought George.
Going to the door, and addressing the driver,
said :
Yon have made some mistake in the name."
1 think not, sir."
Then who sent you here ?"
Misa Jenny Irving ! Impossible !"
Yes, sir, that's her name, and this is her
iage."
EM
Jenny Irving. 'What street does she live
on ?" •
" Rand street, No. 89."
" The same. Alt, dnr girl," thought he,
•' she is trying to mystify, me . n little by send
ing round n carriage at her own expense ; for no
doubt sh . e pays it out of her own hard earning.
Well, I will gratify her to take a ride down to
her nunt's in her carriage as the driver calls
it. It is hers, I suppose, while she hires it."
So in jumped George, and he was soon at
Jenny's door."
flow do you like my travelling establish
ment ?" said she as George entered her room.
• Oh, first rate ; it is splendid. I see you
practice women's rights. and hire your own car
riage. Well there's no harm in that, it will an
swer admirably for to-day, and then the owner
will have it. I suppose."
•• Undoubtedly," said Jenny with a pleasant
smile.
After their marriage at the church they re•
turned to Jenny'S aunts, and sat down to await
the arrival of some friends whom they were go
ing to treat to a few viands prepared tar the oc
casion.
After. sitting a few moments, George cast a
glance out of the window„and seeing the car
riage they had left at the door still standing
there, said : •
Why don't the driver take that carriage
home!"
" Perhaps he is awaiting the order of its own
er," replied Jenny. •
" Where is he ?"
" His name is George Lenox, and ho occupies
the very same place where you now sit. Any
further explanation necessary ?t
" George Lenox ! not me," said he starting
from his seat.
" Yes you ! It was my carriage, and I have
now made you the owner of it," replied Jenny.
" Your carriage ! why Jenny, I am surprised,
how came you to have such an extensive estab
lishment 1" asked George.
" I bought i ~ and paid my own money for it.
Bo ught —your—own—mon
ey—for—it 7" said George, slowly and pausing
slightly before each word, as if weighing their
meaning, for he was profoundly perplexed.
- Yes my dear, it was mine, now it is yours.

" Country house just out of the city ! Ihe
lieve you arc crazy, Jenny," exclaimed George
" No I am not."
" Well then, what do you mean ?" Explain
yourself. There's some mystery here that Ido
not understand, said George.
" I know you don't understand it, and now
that • I have mystified you a little I will solve
the riddle."
, And then Jenny, with sparkling e. es and in
her happiest mood, told him how that her pa•
rents died when she was quite young, and left
her penniless, and in the care of her aunt, who
adopted her, and that four years ago, a wealthy
uncle in England—her father's brother —had
died, leaving her his large properly, amounting
to seventy-five thousand dollars, and that a;
there was much courting heiresses fly their mon
ey, she had resolved to keep the matter a se
cret. and pass among people as dependant for
her support upon her own exertions from day
to day, so that if wooed at all, it might be for
herself and not her money ; and that for this
reason she served an apprenticeship inn mil
liner's shop.
" Am I dreaming." exclaimed George, amaz
ed at a relation from Jenny, asto.mded and un
expected, and which increased, if possible, the
esteem he already had for her who could con
ceive so noble a project, and so successfully car
ryit out
No, George. it is not a dream, but a pleas
ing reality. You know I said Jenny would
show her value yet. I then referred to my for
tune. Of my value aside from that is not for
me to speak. And now. said she, looking con
fidently in the face of him whose love she prized
higher than all earthly treasures, " Jenny .en
trusts to you herself and her fortune. without
any fears of her fortunes safe keeping."

The nottont of the Attatitle Ocean.
The steamer Arctic sounded the Atlantic all
1 the way across, finding the greatest depth 2,070
fathoms (more than two miles.) The bed of
the ocean, in the section traversed by the Arc
tic. is a plateau, as already announced by Capt.
Berryman. who has twice before sounded across
the Atlantic. The bottom in the deeper part
is a very fine mad, of a mouse-gray color, so
soft that the sounding instruments frequently
sunk several feet into the mod. They brought
up specimens of the bottom. at every sounding,
in midis which were attached to the sounding
instrument. Towards the shore on each side,
this mud changes i to a fine creen ooze:

Nothing is more important than n healthy
