It hail been arranged, and her fattier had found it out, and she knew it, that the young lady should meet the young gentleman ami lover legi.'thtrat a certain place, in a carriage, and go to Covington. After dinner, tliu father was lakeJ, much to bis nurprise, to accompany his daughter lo ;he very place of meeting, which had been up oinled, and they w ere to start at four o'clock.

Ill vain he sought In-r, but kntiwing they would cross in the terry boat, he stationed himself on it, and hailed every cairiage that passed, but found no daughter. At length an empty carriage came aboard, and on tiic same trip, a ragged cripple, limping nat urally, and staring about as though he had never keen a boat before. Ho was accompanied by a youthful looking personage in male attire. The ferry boat passed over, and the carriage stopped at the foot id' the hill for the driver to arrange the harness,(all pretext,) and the ragged boy and com panion waited there until the boat again shoved oil' to return to this side. Then Mr. 1! and Miss C jumped into the carriage, rode to the priest, threw oil their disguise, were married,and returned to the ferry on their way home. The young lady met her father.who was still on watch, and told him what had been done.and how he had been cheated by the ragged boy and herself in boy's clothes, and then she asked papa's pardon, which, reluctantly, was granted; and the bride, bridegroom, and the old gentleman, rode home to gether, making an ending of an elopement quite agreable, seeing he could'nt help it, and sbonii g most emphatically the cunning of the female sex in such matters.

They arrived tit the j house aliont nine ocloek, just as Dr. Web-; sler was Knowing a visitor out. The ol-j doers met him at the gate, and told him j that the college olliecrs were met in consul tation, on the subject of Dr. lukm:iii' disappearance, and had scut for him to at tend it. He made no objection, and while j on the way to Huston, he conversed cheer fully and freely, and referring to Dr. Park man's Inning been at the college, said, that he had stoppttd at the Doctor's house on Friday morning, aHd requested him to call at the college for his money, between one and two o'clock that day. The carriage was halted at the jail, and the party went into the oflicc, and then, for the first lime, Dr. Webster began to perceive that there was something strange in the proceeding of the officers, and asked what they had come to the jail for, when their destination was the college in grove street, remarking, also that they had come out of the way. Clapp then said "Dr. Webster, it is no use to disguise our purpose any further. You are under arrest, on suspicion that you know something about the death of Dr. Parkman, parts of whose body have been found under your laboratory. We shall look no more for the body." Upon hearing this accusation, Dr. Websier slag gered backwards, as if struck to the heart and uttered various exclamations about his family and children, and also saying "The villian! lam ruined ," or, "The villian ! He has ruined me." All who were pres ent agrt x that he did nut say he was be trayed. His excitement was intense, and he ex hibited symptoms of convulsions. Water was handed to him, but he could not reach it to his mouth.nor could he get any down, when the glass was held to his lips. When asked if he was willing to go lo the college and view the remains, he consented, and was earned rather than lead to the carriage. At the hospital, he was taken to the la boratory, w here he saw the remains, but made no remark whatever in regard to them. S. D. Parker, Esq., common wealth's attorney, was present, but forbore asking the prisoner any questions ; and the others present of course remained silent.

Dr Webster's ollicial duties as a protestor required of him no handling of bodies. Uarly last week, Dr. Webster ordered a tin box, three feet long, one foot wide, and eighteen inches in height, of Mr Water- man, in Court street. The cover was to he tilted so as to be soddered up, when used. The Times says : The search by the police having been followed up with the j utmost vigilance, there were discovered, during yesterday afternoon, secreted in the laboratory of the Professor, a pair ot panta loons, which are said to have been identi- lied as belonging to him. These pants are very much besmeared with blood. Next was discovered, likewise concealed a handsaw completely bedaubed with blood and supposed to have been used in sawing ingoll'the neck-bone. Furthermore, there have been discovered calcined bones of ev ery limb of the human frame, including portions of the skull. These parts have been placed in connection with the other parts of the body found. On the forenoon ol the dav of .Mr Webster's arrest, he cal led at an apothecary establishment, and called for some citric acid, of which he ob tained an ounce. He then called for some pyroligneous acid, but the proprietor had none in the establishment. These acids as those acquainted with them well know though not so powerful agents in the eras ure of blood, may yet he applied with full success. We are likewise informed that the Professor, on Thursday or Friday, last applied at the store of Mr. Ceorge p.. Hog man, No. 7. Dock Square, for a large sized lish hook and was unable, among the ma ny soils presented for his inspection, lo find one large enough, as he said, for his purpose. The Atlas, .says : About four o'clock, ou Saturday afternoon, Coroner Pratt, in company wiih several gentlemen, summon ed as jurors, visited the college, and several i eporters of the press wt re also admitted. The Coroner proceeded to the laboratory, where upon some pieces of boardsthe parts of the bodv w hich had been discovered were placed, and they formed, in appear ance, the w hole of a human frame, with the exception of the head, left leg and feet. A mono oiht r things, ihe false teeth found in the furnace, as before specified, have been identified by the dentist who mantt I'acturiicd tin in.

It i-j not true that the world hates piety. The modest and unobtrusive piety which fills the heart with all human charities and makes a man gentle to others and severe to himself, is an object of universal love and veneration. Hut mankind hate the lust of power, when it is veiled under the garb of piety; they hate cant and hypocrisy: they hate advertisers and quacks in piety; they do nol choose to be insulted; they love to tear folly and impudence from the alter which should only be a sanctuary lor the wretched and the good.
