-- WHAT THIS PAPERS
SAY OF US!
We have good news for our renders this week., '
One of the celebrated Foster Brothers, the great
dry goods merchants of Now York City, is coming
to do business among us. They promise us a
Now York stock of goods at New York prices.
Read their advertisement. It has the true ring
about it. We believe they mean what they say.
We welcome them among us, and plomiso them
our hearty thanks if they will persist in the war
they have declared upon high prlees.—Allentown
Democrat.
Foster had a big rush at his opening on Monday.
The whole population seemed to be there to secure
the greatest bargains ever before offered. Enter
prise Is stamped everywhere and be Is sure to sue
ceed,though ho sells goods at smaller profits than
they do anywhere this side of New York. The
rash still continued yesterday, continues to-day,
and will ever continue so long as people have a
chance to get so much for their money. Every
thought Is of Foster, and no man in Allentown Is
more talked of by the fair sex. Goodd sold for
greenbacks at gold prices.—Lehigh Register. •
We advise our readers to go to Foster's for their
dry goods. They are New York men and will sell
you goods at Now York prices.—Allentown liie
densbote.
"I saved seventeen dollars on one Poplin dress
I bought at Foster's the other day." Bo we heard
a lady saying recently.—Lehigh Patriot.
floury \Yard Beecher once told a gentleman to
"follow the crowd" if ho desired to find his way
to his (Beecher's) church. The way to Foster's
Now York ptore is found In the same way.—hule
pendent Republican.
Fosven.—Foster has made good his promises.
Do has most decidedly "revolutionized the Allen
town Dry Goods trade." We are just finding out
what exorbitant prices we have been paying for
dry goods In Allentown. Foster actually sells
many goods for half the price we have been paying
for them. The crowd at his store is as great as
ever, and of all who have been there to trade we
have yet to hear of a sink person In any way
disappointed with his purchase.—Allentown Demo
crat.
We hear that there has been a tremendous ex
citement in the Dry Goods trade in Allentown,
during the past week. Foster's New York City
['tore, just opened, has been fairly packed with
people. They aro selling goods at about half the
prices other merchants charge for them. Ono of
two things Is true; either our merchants in this
locality have been charging us outrageous profits,
or else Foster, at Allentown is selling less than
cost. As be says he is making money even at his
low prices, we aro forced to accept the first conclu
sion, and we think it but right to advise all our
people to go to Allentown to trade with Foster—at
least till other merchants oviform to the new order
of things which this New York City Store has es
tablished there.—Carbon Democrat.
We wish to say to our readers ti•a. they need
have no fear of being deceived by the advertise
ments of Foster's New York Store at Allentown.
They will always sell as they advertise.—Slatitag
ton News.
Wo don't wish to flatter Mr. Foster. We have
no "axe to grind," for he advert,. as with us al
ready. But we cannot help saying thaw he is ben
efiting every kind of business in Allentown. Ile
is bringing the pegple in frdm every direction. Ills
store is literally packed much of the time.—Lehigh
Register.
(h, our own account ice wish simply to say that every
article we sell we warrant to be as loan, and in ninety
nine cases out of a hundred lower than it can be
bought for elsewhere. ,

How man Ids brother has enslaved,
Ne'er wonder human hearts are cold,
When heavenly love In them has failed.
Go, sound the trumpet for the youth,
To lead him on from bight to bight
In all the wonders of the truth
Which beams with beauty, use and light
That trumpet speaks to him °r pm,.
That Lists when he bas passed away,
And soon the voice may fan to flame
The lire which burns his soul away.
That tire ambition's deathless power,
Which throws Its deadly spell amuud
All that was won In thin sweet hour
When peace with man and God was found,
His star of fame must higher rise,
And all the past must be forgot;
The future now must charm his eyes,
And glorious praises be his lot.
To win the charm his powers arc given,
Nor morn nor eve can bring him rest,
But Joy, and happiness, and heaven •
Are driven forever from his breast.
The RUM of all his hopes and fears,
A now to live in future time,
Though sorrow, groans, and bitter team
That name might bring to every clime
When mad ambition once does burn,
Its fires will neer be caused to stay
Until to ashes they do burn
All earthly good that conies their way.

Farewell to honor, manhood, truth I
He leaves them now and evermore ;

Within that heart no more shall rest
The lope that buoyed the sinking soul
When he, by strength of virtue blessed,
Pressed onward to life's highest goal ;
But In that heart shall burn the tires,
Terrine, dreadful In their heat,
With maddened passions, strong desires,
Curses and groans, in all complete.
Thus shall his life be spent for fame,
Nor peace nor rest his heart shall know
Until, from whence the influence came,
Down to those depths his boat shall go,
And when he in his grave is laid
No tears shall on t/ad grave be shed,
Because from wisdom's path he strayed ;
lie's now through folly doubly dead.
There is a fame that lives through time,
And then In henna with grace is.crowned

MILLEnsvILLE, Juno 14, 1809. J. W.
In 1851 I was acting as agent of Lord Bath's
estate, in the County Monaghan, and one
evening in the month of December an incident
took place strikingly characteristic of the peo
ple and the times.
It had been an " office day," and a • great
variety of cases had come before me for adju
dication. I was tired and weary of my work ;
when just as darkness closed in, a young wo
man presented herself and requested a private
audience. Der appearance was not altogether
that of an ordinary peasant. She wore a neat,
modern bonnet, a veil so thick that I could
not see her features, and her dress in other re
spects showed symptoms not only of comfort,
but of taste.
No sooner had I taken her into my private
office, than to my utter astonishment she
dropped down upon her knees before me, and
placing, her hands in an attitude of agonized
supplication, she exclaimed :
"lah, Mr. Trench, what shall I do, what
shall I do 1 you only can help me I"
I was shocked and distressed at the attitude
assumed toward me ; and insisting upon her
rising at once, which she seemed somewhat
unwilling to do, I placed 1 er on a chair, and
requested her to let me know her name,,,and
what it was that distressed her.
She appeared very thicasy lest her conversa
tion should be overheard, and went herself to
the door to make sure it was closed and that
no one was Ii tening outside ; then, having in
some degree recovered her composure, she said:
"My name is Alice McMahon—though that
does not matter much ; but oh I tell me, sir,
Isn't it true that the polico.have a warrant in
their hands to arrest Ned Cunningham 4"
"Really," replied I, "I am not sure; I
don't recollect at present any man of that
name for whose apprehension I have issued a
warrant."
Cala autinn
"Mr. Trench, I may as well tell youtho real
truth, and w:.en on know all, perhaps you
will tell me what I had best do—for Gad knows
I am fairly broken-hearted. , Ned and I were
to be married soon. My pco - de were not sat
isfied with the match, for they always held
their heads high among the neighbors ; and
Ned had only a few acres of land, and they
said he wasn't good enough for me.
"God help me I if they knew what a poor,
miserable, unhappy girl I nm now, they would
think anything good enough for the like of me.
Well, as I was saying, my people weren't sat
isfied at the match, and mother was stiff and
distant, and father swore he would never con
sent ; and at last they made me promise to tell
Ned 'I would never see him any mom"
"Was that Ned Cunningham a fine, tall
young man, with sandy hair, and as active a
chap as any in the barony ?"
"The same," said she, " I knew well you
must have known him, for reasons there is no
use in telling now."
• "I knew him well," replied I ;
was pointed out to me more than once ; but
his character is none of the beat, and I fear he
is in danger of being arrested oven now."
"I know It," said the girl, calmly, "I know
it but too well. But let me tell you my story
—it won't keep you very long ; and then you
can do what you please.' , •
Here she took off her bonnet quietly, and
laid it on the table beside her ; then for the
first time,by the light of the lamp which was
burning, saw the face of my visitor. Bhe
appeared to be about twenty or twenty.one
years of age. Her countenance was decidedly
prepossessing, but of a cast which is generally
termed interesting rather than strikingly hand
some. Her features were very regular, and
she had a quiet composed manner, and a clear,
calm eye, which indicated a mind not devoid
of thoughtfulness as well as courage. Her fig
ure was slight and feminine, rather below the
average height, but singularly well-propor
tioned, and, if I may use the term—lady-like.
And her motions were graceful, and appeared
to be those of a girl who had been educated
far beyond the average of an Irish peasant.
Her manner was so calm, that I could scarce
ly believe it to be the same figure who, a few
minutes before, bad been kneeling In an atti
tude of supplication, and when she laid her
bonnet on the table, and pushed back her hair
from her pale and somewhat careworn cheek,
I thought I had seldom seen a more ihteresting
girl.
"I knew well," she continued, "that you

ALICE APAIATION
(From the Realities of Irish Life.]
must have heard something about Ned ; but
now just listen to me till I tell you what you
never heard from his enemies. I was telling
you awhile ago, that I promised father to let
Ned know I would never see him more; so
one night about a month ago we met as usual
—he never could stay long away ; for when
his work was over, he was always coming
about the house, where he thought he'd see Inc.
And then we'd have a little walk together, and
i Ned was always pressing mo to go aw y with
him ; but I never would, for I told him wha
tever I did I would never bring disgrace upon
jmy family. Well, one night Ned came as
usual, and after we had walked a bit in the
moonlight—" Ned," says I, "father says we
must never marry, and that I'm not to be
j walking or talking with you any more." Ned
j stopped short and stared in my face by the
moonlight—" You're not In almost, Alice,"
said he, " you're surely not in airnest ; I know
they were never free to like the match ; but
shure you're not in almost that you're not to
walk with me or see me more Ned," says
"lam in almost ; father and mother was
always good to me, and I cannot go against
their wishes now—and I fear I must break off
with you." "Alice, you were never fond of
joking, is it truth you're telling met" "It is,
Ned,' says I, as quiet to him as I am this min.
ute. "I believe it's yourself that don't care
for me," says Ned, angrily ; ".but any way
you would never say what you eiw do, unless
you were in tallest. The boys 'were often
wanting me to join them, but I always refused
up to this. Alice—though I never told them
so—it was for your sake I refused ; but now
I'll refuse no longer. There's to be a meetin'
to-night, and I'll go straight and join them
that's bound to give freedom to Ireland."
"Oh Ned, Ned," says I, -" for God's sake
' don't join the bloody Ribbonmen that's bring
ing all this trouble on the country, and some
of them will be sure to suffer yet. Oh,Ned
'
dear don't join them I whateveryou dodordt
join them ; they'll surely bring you to the
gallows I" What matter what they bring nie
to," says he, ' when you draw off from me.
Alice, you are the only living being I care for
in the world. I've neither father nor mother,
nor brother nor sister; but I thought I had
you for my own, and that you would soon be
my wife. And now you tell me that's all
over ; and what can Ido better than to join
them that's striving to free Bur country Y
But coo e away with me 110\4 Alice, dear,'
says he, ' co..te off with me this minute, and
I'll do whatever you bid me, and never take
the oath, let them all talk as they will.'
Here she stopped kr a few moments in her
story ; her face grew paler than before, and
her eyes tilled wit i tears ; then after a few
convulsive efforts to overcome her feelings,
she continued—
.....
"I think I would have gone with him that
very minute, for I loved Ned dearly ; but just
then father came • to the door, and called out to
know what was I doing so long out of the
house. So I told him I was coming in ; and
giving one last look at Ned, I said, 'Ned, don't
ask me ; I can't do it,' Very well,' said
Ned, mind you have refused, and you are
not the girl to refuse unless you meant it—
good bye, Ptt join the boys to-night!' And lie
was gone across the ditch by my side before I.
could say another word."
"I fear," said I, "dm has kept his threat;
for I knew he is one of the Ribhonmen now."
"I will not deny it, replied she, calmly; .
'" I knew well your honor knew it, and that is
what brings me to you here to-night."
• "And what do you want me to do?" asked I.
" The police have nothing against him yet,"
she replied ; they have a warrant in their hands
to arrest him, but that is only for some assault
—as they call it—which one of his enemies
swore against him. He has done nothing yet
with the boys which could bring him into
trouble, except taking the dreadful oath. But
Oh I sir, I'll tell you what I dare scarcely tell
tell to mortal man—he is on for the nert job."
"On for the next job I" said I ; what do
you mean ?"
" Your honor knows well what I mean,"
replied the girl, calmly,
" Do you mean," said I, " that he 14 to mur
der the next man those blood-thirsty villians
condemn to die ?—perhaps it may be myself?"
" There is no fear of his hurting a hair of
your honor's head," .said she, steadily, "They
tried him about that, but he was near killing
the man that said it to him, and they never
spoke to him of it since ; but they have put
. him on for the next job barrio' yourself ; and
now that he is regularly sworn in he can't re
fuse."
" Well," said I, "and what do you propose
that I should do ?"
"I'll' tell you, sir," replied she. "Ned
came to me the other night ; I was sitting up
late thinking. Father and mother had gone
to bed ; but I said I wanted to sew a bit, so -I
sat up thinking, over the fire. After a while I
heard a tap at the window, and then a blow
whistle, which I knew well was Ned's. So I
made no noise nor stir, but I just put out the
candle CO if I was going to bed, and then went
to the dour and opened it, and sure enough
there was Ned before Inc. Oh, sir, you would
not know hint, he was so changed in that one
month. It was full mc m again, and when he
turned to look at me the moon shone bright
upon him ; and it wasn't Ned at all, but souse
ghost that was like him I saw. Ned,' says I,
'is that you ?' It is,' says he, and his very
voice sounded different from what he used.
Well, I was glad to see him anyhow ; so I
took his hand in mine, and says I, Ned, what
has happened, for you're not the same as you
were ?" How could I,' says he, ' when •you
told me you wouldn't see me any more ?'
Ned,' says I, don't deceive me, that's not
It, there is worse than that come over you.'
Nothing co dd be worse than that,'. says he
' Ned, you must tell me. I know you well,
and I know there is worse than the loss of me
upon you now.' Well, Alice,' says he, 'and
if there is, it was the loss of you that drove me
i • to it.' I won't deny but that might be true
too,' says I : but,. Ned, you must tell me
what is the nitternow. Are you sworn in ?'
I an,' says Ned, 'though the bloody villains
woul murder me if they knew I told you.'
You have done nothing yet, Ned ?' says I.
' No, Alice,' says he ; but P m on for the next
job, after Trench.' Well, sir, what canto over
me then I don't know ; but I lost my sight
and my senses, and I never knew where I was
or what had happened, till I found myself
down at the well below the house ' and Ned
pouring Water on my face with his two hands.
Be looked so terrible when I first opened my
eyes, that he brought me to my senses' quick
enough ; and in a minute all that had happened
was before me. ' Ned,' says!, 'break off with
the villians, and Plt go with- you where you
please.' My God I' cried Ned, ' 'why didn't
you say that before ? I'm sworn in now, and
I must be true to my country ; though it's
little of their country that them bloody villains
think. But I am sworn in now, and I'm
bound to obey." ,
' " Ned,' says you shall do no such thing
go with you where you go; I'll leave
father and mother now. You kno• •, Ned, I
always loved you •, and what's the use of love
if It wouldn't stick to a friend in trouble ?
You must leave the country, Ned, and that at
once ; and I'll go with you, and they'll never
know where we are. Let us go off at once to
America.' Well, air, Ned was silent for a
minute. And then he says: Alice, dear, don't
ask me to peach, or tell on' one of them, for
never do it—no, not oven to win you.' I'll
never ask you, Ned,' says ' only come
away and leave them there, before any job
turns up that will ruin your soul and body.'
' There is a warrant out against me,' said Ned,
' for a stroke I hit another boy a few daydago•
it's in the Police Barrack this minute, and
they will be out searching for me soon. And
If they arrest Mo on this warrant, - I'll be kept
to ace if they can get anything else against me,
and maybe something bad will happen before
it's all over.'
" you come away if I get the warrant
stopped ?' says Alice,' says he, have
to break a solemn oath If I do ; but it's better
to be damned for 'breaking an oath to thoss
bloody villians than for killing soma ono; so
if I'm not taken this week, I'll go, if you will
come with me "
• She stopped and looked at mc. "
said L "and what do you want me to do. I"
"1 mantyou to stop the warrant just ono
week," said she : " ho has done nothing yet ;
the warrant is only for cutting another boy's
head which did him nogrentharm ;'and more,
over, that same boy deserves it well. But if
Ned stays in the country, he'll surely do what
ever the bloody villians he's joined with bid
him. Keep back the warrant for one week,
and you'll save his-soul and body."
The rnor girl could hold mit no longer, but
" that is, he
dropping on her knees before me again ' she
put her hands to her eyes, 'rind es the tenni
streamed through her fingers, she sobbed out,
almost choking with agitatimi—" Oh, sir, save
him if you can l save poor Ned, • who never
would hurt the hair of achild's head if !lawns
not sworn to it by them terrible men.!'
I have seldom .felt in a greater difficulty.
Here was a man who it was noW'aclinott;
ed was a sworn Ribbonmati, and I was asked
o hold beck the warrant for his arrest'so as to
enable Lim to leave the' country and escape
the law. True, but then I reflected, ho had
done nothing yet as a Ribbonman that the
law could lay hold of, except taking the oath.
I fully believed the weeping girl before me,
that they were deeply attached to each other,
and I also believed her statement that in
moment of anger at her father's rejecting his
suit, he had joined the Ribbonmcn, and was
sworn in to their bloody code. She saw in a
moment that I hesitated between what nt first
sight appeared to be my duty let a magistrate,
and my desire to save tier lover front crime
and death. I have said she was educated
above her class, and she perceived my diffi
culty in a Moment.
"Oh, sir," said she, rising gently from her
knees, and calming down her countenance
again, "you'll do no wrong in holding 'Welt
the warrant for a week ; though Ned is sworn
in, he has done no bad set yet ; and surely
it is better to save him now, than to hang him
after lie has committed some terrible crime
I know him well lie is as daring when his
blood is up as he is gentle and kind in heart;
he would not hurt a little child. But they
have told him it's for the good of Ireland ; and
. .
when he gets warmed with that, he'd kill a
hundred men."
" Anti does he really believe it is for the
good of Ireland,”.l. asked, indignantly, "to
waylay and mnrder some unfortunate man
who has never injured or wronged him ?"
"That's a long story, sir," replied she ;
"and maybe you wouldn't understand it all if
I told you. But they think the English' have
no right to the land at all, and they hope to
4 et it all back ngaih, yet, if they man only
frighten you—and such as you—out of it, and
kill any of themselves that takes the hunt over
the old stock's head ; and they have persuad
ed Neil it's all right—or at least they were
near doing so. But I think he hates them iu
his heart ; and though nothing would make
him conic out and intiorm against them—and
I would be the last to ask Ihn—yet if he can
only slip away quietly it will lie all well yet,
and I have promised to go with him."
have you money enough to go ?" I asked.
" I am sorry to tell you I have not," replied
she ; " father has plenty, and would give mo
what I wanted if it was for anything else ; but
I dare not ask him for it now. Ned, too, has
been idling and drinking with those black
guards and they took good care to get out of
him all had, I must trust to your honor to
'give us the menus, and that Is another thing I
came for."
" Well," I said, at last, "It is a serious
thing, and a great responsibility to take upon
myself to hold back the warrant in such it case
as this; but considering that Ned has done
nothing yet except to take the oath, and we
have nothing to prove against Lim as a Rib
bonnum, I think that if I could see hint my
self, and make sure of what his real intentions
are ' I would manage to hold back the war
rant, so that it would not be executed for a
few days, at all events."
" May God bless you, sir may God forever
bless you !" cried she ; but suddenly checking
herself, she added, in a frightened tone—
*" But did your honor say you wanted to see
Ned yourself ?"
" Yes," replied I, " certainly ; I will do
nothiAg unless I see him myself. lle may
have deceived you, and sent you on this mis
sion only to enable him more securely to per•
petrate some dreadful crime."
" Ned is as surely true to his word ns your
honor would be yourself," replied the girl it
little indignantly. " But after all," added
she gently, "why should you not see him?
I am surcl can trust you to take no advant,age
of Ned. He is not far from the town this
minute ; I could go for hint, forl know where
he is, and he would meet you anywhere you
please,"
" If I meet him it must be alone,
" I cannot have you with him."
"Just as your honor pleases," replied the
girl.
" Very well. • Let Ned meet me at the back
of the Gallows-hill, near the old wind-mill, at
eight o'clock this evening. It will be dark
then, and no ono will know anything about it.
The girl looked at me very steadily for a few
moments, evidently endeavoring to pierce into
my inmost thoughts, and then quietly taking
her bonnet from the table, she said in a calm
voice—" I am sure and certain your honor
would not deal unfairly with us. Ned shall
meet you at the tittle and place you say, for
I 'know he will do whatever I bid him now."
She put on her bonnet, drew down the veil
carefully over her face, so that It would be im
possible to ,ecognize her features,
and left the
No soone : hail she gone than Ibegan to feel
that I had made a some what foolish assigna-
tion, and I felt a little uneasy as to the I;,Sue.
However, the girl had trusted me, and I re
solved to trust her, and, come what would, to
keep the appointment.
I ate a hasty dinner, and having carefully
examined a brace of double-barreled pistols
which I usually carried with me, I mated my
self up in a large great-coat, and walked out
unobserved into the street. There was no gas
in those (lays in Carrickmacross, and the night
being cold and cloudy, I wns not recognized
by the few passers-by I met. .The " Gallows
hill" is a vacant, unfrequented height at the
back of the Court-house at Carricmacross ; and
on such a night and at such an hour, there
seemed to be no danger of interruption.' I
will not deny that my heart beat a little more
rapidly than the up-hill walk would warrant,
as I ascended the dreary, Waste-looking grassy
hill on the top of which stands the wind-mill.
I walked on steadily ; and holding one of my
pistols cocked in my hand, but concealed in
side my great coat pocket, I found myself at
the place of appointment. I could see no one;
but having given a low whistle, a form
emerged from inside the old wind-mill walls, 1
and I stood face to face with Ned.
I was the first to speak.
" You have come here at Alice's request ?"
"I have ;
and she tells me she has let you
know all. It is dangerous work for me to be
here ; but I'm sure your 'honor won't betray
me."
"You need not fear my betraying you," re
plied I ; "but you have entered on a fearful
course; and unless I am satisfied that Alice's
story Is true—that you are not deceiving her,
and that, you are really willing to leave at
once for America—l shall certainly think it
my duty to do my utmost to have you brought
to justice."
"And what makes you doubt Alice's story?
do you think she would deceive you ?"
" Certainly not," replied I ; "my only
doubt is whether you are not deceiving her."
"Did she throw any doubt upon that her
self ?"
"She did not; she firmly believes every
word you told her, ,or she would not have
brought use to meet you hero to-night ; she Is
ready and willing to go anywhere with you,
provided you leave only the country at once."
"Alice has always been true and good,"
replied Ned, in a softened tone ; " she never
deceived me, and I never deceived her.
Your honor knows I ant an for the next job ;
but, please God; I'll disappoint those blood
thirsty villians ; and if you can pnly stop - the
warrant for three days more. I'll lie gone
forever from Ireland, and Alice will go along
with me."
"I believe you," returned I. " I believe
you are telling me the truth ; I do not think
you would have ventured to meet me hero, if
you had not intended to h be true. I under.
aural you have little or no moiley ; I will give
Alice what is necessary. Good-by ;it is
dangerous our talking hero, as the police aro
on patrol, and I could nit save you if they
cane upon you. I will endeavor to hold
back the warrant, for three days more ; so
make the best of your time, and aboVe all, bo.l
kind and good to the girl Alice, for she loves
you dearly."
"I would give my heart's blood for her."
said Ned, in an filtered tone. " She hits
saved my body and soul. I suppose your
honor would not shako the hand of n manlike
me, but if you would Fd be thankful."
"Freely," I replied and I held out My
land to him at once. Ito shook it warmly.
"God bless you, sir—l dare not and cannot
say more."
"Pwish you'a good life and a happy one
with Alice , ' replied I.
He turned rapidly away, disappeared behind,
the ruined and was gone.
I returned to the•toWn, and: calling at the
Police Barrack, rexpressed a wish to one' of
the policemen, in authority that the:warrant
should not ho executed against Ned Cunning
ham for three of four dnys MOM. The police
than touched his lint in acquiescence, but
said : : : . .
"I fear, sir, he is a bad boy."
" I know it," replied I, " but linty° reasons
for ivhat I'do:" - •
The policeman-bowed.
The scene I have described happened on a
Thursday. On the following Satimlay i Alice
came into my office again. A. look of intelli-
gence froM heYWas enehgli to' make me take
her again into my private sitting-roots.
" Well, Alice, is all ready'?" :•• •
" Ile,is outside, sir l" she replied; " hesaid
he would never leave Ireland without one
word more of blessing to your goodness. Ile
has a new suit of clothes and all , but he was
afraid to put it on, for fear the boys would
find out what ho is at. But our passage is
taken, for he borrowed a few pounds from n,
neighbor, who will pay himself out of the
crops Ned leaves behind hint ; so wo are off
on Sunday to Dundalk, we will, get, married

bless you, sir, you have saved his soul and

I put a tenpound note into Alice's band,

whether she had preceded the. There was
Ned. He did not come near me ; but taking
off his hat, he bowed almost t,o thoground, his
countenance beaming with joy, as he 'saw
Alice coming toward him.
They.gave me one porting grateful look,
walked rapidly down the lane together, and I
saw them no more.
TIIE FORCE OF IMAGINATION.
Late one evening a couple of Irishmen stop
ped at a country ian and asked for lodgings.
The porter escorted thetti to the door of their
room ; but just as the travelers entered it, the
candle was extinguished by the wind from
the door as it closed behind them. The por
ter had alreadkreturned to - the bar room, and
after vainly groping OIL the mlantel-piece in
search of matches, the travelers resolved to go
to bed in the dark. In the middle of the night
one of thein awoke, and after shaking Ids
, eomanion to arouse hini, said
"Terence, Pm as wake as a vnipoinated kit
ten for the want of air. Oct up and open the
window. The room is as close as a patent
and I'll die if yon don't give me
air!"
Tereime arose, groped around the room for
a few moments, and then said :
" I've found the window but bad luck to me
if I can budge it. I can't move it father up
or down."
"Then knock a couple of panes out wid yer
shoe, and we'll pay for them in the morning, '
said the sick man.
Terence did as directed. After two crashes
were heard by the man in lied, lie seemed to
recover, for he remarked :
"Olt ! that air is invigorating. I feel bet
ter already. Out wid a couple more panes.
Glass is chape and the landlord won't be
angry when we are willing to pay for
them.'•
Terence's stout brogans soon shattered the
few remaining panes, and the wank man re
covered his exhausted Strength so soon after
word, that in ten minutes more he was en
joying his slumbers, undisturbed by the snores
of his companion, who had. also expressed
himself refreshed by the current of fresh air
admitted through the broken glass.
Oonsiderablo time elapsed, and at length
the travelers awoke. For thirty minutes
they lay conversing, wondering why they
could not sleep.
"Surely it must be near morning, for I
don't feel a bid sleepy," said Terence.
" Morning !" echoed the other. By the
morthal, but it appears t me that It's perpetu
al nitiht in this part of ate world.
In a few moments more they, heard a knock
at the door and the travelers asked what was
wanted.
" said I ;
" It's twelve o'clock answered the porter
opening the door, and entering the room with
A candle in his hand. "Aren't ye going to
get up at all 1"
"Only twelve o'clock?" exclaimed Terence.
" Why I thought it must be at least five.
What d'ye mean by rousing us in the middle
of the night ? Do the people in these parts
get up at midnight ?"
"No, but they get up at breakfast time."
" Why didn't you wait till breakfast time
before ye disturbed us?"
"Ilceause it's hours atter breakfast time
now—in fact it Is just dinner time I"
Get out, or I'll throw my brogan at ye.
What a hare faced liar ye intuit be to say Ws
dinner time beibre its daylight ! The candle
in yer hand makes a lint out of ye !" '
Ira ! ha I ha!" and the porter chuckled
with the exhuberance Of delight. "No won
der ye think's it Wt day light, for there's no
window In this room to let in the light."

ishment. Ills eyes at last alighted' on the

a dilapidated appearance. "Be the powers,

was only breakin' the glass the in the bookcase

lOUSTON AND THE VOLUN
• Otte day as Generals Houston and Rusk, ac
companied by the Adjutant-General, M'Cloud
were promenading arm in arm through the
streets of the town, which were swarming
with the disbanded volunteers, many of them
collected in groups discussing the propriety of
the President's order, their attention was can
to a stalwart young backwoodsman, dressed
from head to foot in buckskin, who had evi
dently taken several drinks of whisky, and
was loudly and vehemently , expatiating to
those around him, and making frequent, and
not very complimentary, use of "Sam Hous 7
ton's" name. .
General Houston, who could not avoid hear
ing some of these allusions, turned to his com
panions and said : It appears to me, General
Rusk, that you do not preserve very good dis
cipline in your command."
"They have been disbanded, and I have
nothing further to do with them," replied the
General. "Moreover," ho added, "lam of
the, opinion that it would not be so easy a mat
ter to stop their talking, even if they were still
in service."
" Come along with me, gentlemen, and I'll
show you how to quell such disgraceful exhi
bitions," said Houston.
The others merely observed that "they
would like to witness the performance,'' and
followed into the packed crowd, which made
wriy for the distinguished personages,tuabling
them to to penetrate to the side of the noisy
orator, who still continued his vociferous bar
angutioittiThipitnied by the most violent ges
ticulations and contortions of his arms and
body.
Walking deliberately up to film, and laying
his hand upon his shoulder, the general, in a
mild but emphatic tone said : 't Arc you not
aware, my young fried that you are disturb
ing the peace and quiet of this respectable
community, and that too, Sir, in presence of
the President of the Republic ?"
The fellow suddenly ceased speaking at this
unexpected interruption, and turning upon
the huge individual who addressed him - (he
did not know the General, it seemed), ho inn
very low but firm tone of voice, while his eyes
flashed fire, asked :, .
" Are you Sam Houston, the President 1"
"Yes, toy young friend, I have the honor
. to bear that distinguished cognomen."
The young giant then drew back m step or
two, and concentrating all his powerful sncr
glee into the effort, sprang like nn infuriated
tiger upon the astonished General, knocking
him down, and at the same time exclaiming;
"Well, d—n you, old Houston, you aro• the
very man I wanted to see." He was imme
diately pulled off by the spectators, and pro
ceeded with his interrupted declamation as if
nothinghad happened while the General retired
. to his lodgings, fully convinced that his friend
Rusk was,no disciplinarian. Gen. R. Marcy,

I had just finished my supper,
and Was en
oYing my cigar on deck, whenl heard amen
leclatming, in a loud voice, to two Or three at
entire liSteners (but evidently Intended for
"whoever it might concern" at the same
j . oie) on PhotoTegy. Being ns it were, thus
nvitcd, I MO became a listener to something
Ike the following:
"There it is now Well, some people talk
about seated fevers. I don't know anything
about seated fevers: there ain't no etch thing.
as a seated fever. A 'Actor bite is a seated
fever, curd the bite, 'and the fever quits you

a seated fever. Fact is, and you can't rub it
out, your regular doctor practizes according to

Meterier Mediker. Waal, he treats fevers,
according to the books. What's the conse
quence? I get all the patients ! lie met me
one day, and says he to me, says he; How Is
it that you git all the fever cases ?' I told him

The fashionable establishments are mainly
on Broadway and in the vicinity of Filth
avenue, though some of the places on 'Houston
street are fitted up with considerable care and
present a very attractive appearance to many
ot' their patrons. In the fashionable places no
stranger is admitted unless accompanied by
somebody who can certify to his character,
not that Brat class morals aro desired, but the
players want to be satisfied that nobody is at
tempting to play;,,he detective. There is no
outward sign to indicate the existence of these
places, but a man accustomed to thepeculiari
ties of city can generally recognize them.
The outer door generally stands open, and just
beyond it is another with a boll handle At the

A man of my acquaintance once told mo
that Ito could not understand how the gam
blers could afford to give such elegant spreads.
" I have been," said he, "half a dozen times
to one of them, and every night I had a splen
did supper, with any and everything I desired
to drink. I never paid anything for it, and
every night I have put town a few dollars just
to compensate them Tor the entertainment, but
I always won instead of loosing. d really
don't understand it."
But one day he told me that the night be
fore he hail entered the same place with fifteen
hundred dollars in his pocket, and after a
heavier supper than usual he sat down to play.
Before he left the place his fifteen hundred
dollars were gone. Ile then understood how
it was poesible for the gamblers to give such
ma , rniticent feasts.
