There dwelt in California, some year* ago, three friend*, wild fellows enough, who had seemingly linked their fortunes for better or for worse, and who, whatever their luck, were constantly in each other'* company. These young men were Charles Chester, Harry Bray, ami Edward Warren. Tbev were more brotherly than many brothers, more akin than many kinsmen. True to each other even when women and money were between them. Panion and Pythias with a twin Pvthias added. For a long while they had been very poor; at last fortune fcrored them. Each had a certain sum, bv no nuwna contemptible, stowed away Iu the leathern belt he wore about hb waist. Each carried a gold watch, and each wore a suit of clothes supposed by himself to be the latest style am) choicest fashion. Moreover, their revolver* were perfect, siker mounted, and rejoicing in a multiplicity of barrels; for without these it would be quite impossible to maintain a positiou in this quarter of the world in any \,~\x they mine by these possessions we will not inquire too particularly. They were neither burglars nor highwaymen, but die* and betting mar have helped them to the winning of their little fortunes. They were not over-scrupulous; but they would have knocked any man who had neglected to address them as gentlemen, and used those wonderful revolvers promptly on anv "strainer" who objected drinking with them, and, consequently stood rather high in the community. Certainly, in their conduct to each other they were faultlesulv honorable and miraculously generous. One day soon after u luck" had come to its rest, a letter directed in a woman's tremulous hand to "Charles Chester," was handed to that member of the trio in the presence of tha other two. The young fellow seized it eagerly, tare it open, read it through, and tearing off hi* belt, spread its content* before him upon the tabic and counted it over. Having dune so he buret into tears, and very unwisely and profanely cursed himself for extravagance, and all sorts oi uncomfortable tiling* here and hereafter, a proceeding which seems to relieve some men considerably, though why, it would puzzle the unenlightened to declare. The cause of all this, as his comrades soon dis covered, was that his mother had written to him from her little form in a Southern State, to tell him a doleful tale of sick ties*, death among the stock, etc., and a final crash. A mortgage was also due, and as the old people would find it impossible to meet it, they would be sold out and left homeless in'their old age. "It will kill -your father," wrote the mother," and I will die with him." " I did it all," said the young fellow, sobbing openly. 44 My debts" and my wild war* incumbered them at first, and now look." And he pointed to the gold upon the table, and began hie profane litany again. The mortgage was throe thousand dollar*, and he had but two thousand. 44 U that all 7" cried Jfed Warren, haul ing at hi* belt. u Good heaven ! What does he take u* for 7" cried llarry Bray, furiously. " Five hundred apiece, and the expense* of the journev i* about the figure. There, go to the old folk*. We'll see about your horse while you pack your bags." This set the other at hie oath* again; but in "oyful style this time. They were trumps and bricks, and bv everything he could think of be'd do for them if there were any need of it, 44 He'd pay them back, if he lived, and then—be'd—bless them," and so choked ofi into eohs again, at which tbey left him to recover, returned with a horse and a well-filled pocket flask, and saw bint set forth upon his mission as though the 44 old folks" had been their old folks too. They waited for news from him, but none came. They waited quietly at first, then im|>aticntly. At last they beard this: He had never been seen at home, or by any one who knew him since the day on which they had shaken hands with him. Some terrible- Gate had befallen him in tbejonely places over which he bad journeyed alone. To doubt him never entered their minds. That he was as true to them as they to him they well knew, and one thought filled each mind. They must discover his fate, and, if it were what they supposed, avenge him. So one bright morning, well mounted, well armed, and followed by a favorite dog, a bound which would by no means be left behind, the two set forth in search of their lost comrade. They took the road he must have taken, and asked at every tavern and cabin for news of him. One old man remembered him well; another man point ed out the dangerous place in the road, leading past a precipice, to a man of his lost friend's description; but at that point the clue was lost. After much travel *nd man}- inquiries, our comrades began to fear thmt they should have paused to examine the rocks and ravines at the foot of the precipice alludflfu). ere they proceeded further, and' rffiteflpincd to turn back and do so. Tbey cahfifciktliiK resolution about nightfall, and they reached the borders of a littlcTarm, which bore evi dence of a careful tillage. Upon this laud also stood a farm bouse, from the crevices in the shutters of which streamed long bar* of ruddy lamp-light, and whence the sound of music was plainly heard. It was the only dwelling within sight. 44 XVc will stay here," said one friend to the other, 4 ' until dawn, and then return." That the house was not an inn did not matter to either of them. Hospitality was never refused ia the land to any one at that day. They rode boldly up to the gate and gave a loud halloa. In an instant the door opened and they could see within a sudden panic in a lively dance, as all heads turned to see what had caused this interruption. " Can you let us sleep here to-night 7" inquired one of the friends, as one asks who fears no refusal. "Certainly gentlemen," aaid a pleasant voice. "You're welcome. You'll find a stable there and corn for your horses. Our man Jack is' Hi the floor to-night; but here is a lantern if you'll tend to your selves.'' " AH right, stranger." said Harry, " and thank you, too." The two men led their horses into a FRR\\ KURTZ, Editor and Proprietor. VOL. IV. stable, already full. Nod watered them, aud secured tW for the night, aul would have left the stable at once, but that one of the animal* attraotod Harry'* attention. He turned lawk to look at hint ; examined him from head to foot, turned retland pale, aud suddenly clutched N-d's arm. " You remenaln-r the bona- we L>ughc for Charles Chester '" he asked. " Y<," aid Ned. " Look at the IVHowsaid Harry. " 1 *, the very one. The star on the forehead, the soar on hi* hire leg.*the color, the height! Nod, it's Charley a horse!" ** It is the horse," said Nisi, slowly. Harry, if Charley had lived to go, his horse would have gone with him." •• The owner of this animal may know all we need to hear," said Harry. "It wou't be good news, Ned." Ntxl shook his head, and sadly and slowly tlie tuen went towards tlie house. They found the dancing at its height, and that thi* was the homecoming ot the tarmer'a bride—a pretty young woman, with rosy cheekx and -parkluig eye*, of yvln.su the stalwart bridegroom seemed very fond and proud. "Sit down, stranger*," said an old man near the door. " You've eoiue at a merry time, ami don't get much attention. My sou is just the happiest fellow out, 1 be lieve; got no eyes for uobodv but that gal. You see. they've been waitin quite a spell, and he had no luck, none at all, aud it seemed he'd got to give it up. but six uiontb back bo had a.*trv*ak.

Why. what ails your dog 1" The dog left outside was howling rather fearful I v. " Wants to come in, perhaps," said N'cd ; •'but it mightn't be agreeable to the allies.' 1 '• Bring him in," said the old man; but the dog world not come. He stood beside a patch of gram in the garden howling woftilly; and scratching and tearing with all his might. Leave the sunt he would not, and the frieuds, when they saw hiin, and remembered the horns in the stable, felt the blood curdle in their veins. '* Whose horse is that with a white star on the forehead and a scar on his fore leg— a handsome brown horse, with wonderful eyes 7" whispered Harry to the old man. "That's my son's horse," said the old man. u Where did he buy it P asked the other. '•Don't know," sail the old man. laugh ing childishly. •' Cotne to him with the rest of his good luck, six mouths ago." Again the dog outside began to howl. Again the friends felt cold chills creep over tbem. " Where are we to sleep P asked Edward of the old mau. "We don't want supper —we need rest." "I'll show you," said the old man. 44 The bouse wil'l be full to-night, but you'll not mind roughing it." And he led the way to an upper room, where a rude bed was already spread. *' Just lie down here, strangers," he said. •' There's a blanket, if you arc cold, and there's a candle. Good-night." And Le left them. But not to sleep. The two men had sought solitude, that they might commune. Yet now they could only say. " What does this mean P They hail saul ii as many ways a damn times, when Harry, by accident! lifted his eyes to a peg in the rough wall. On it huug some thing which riveted his grute with horror. Yet it was an object quite common and innocent in itself—only a pair of brown saddle hag*, rather new in appearance, and with the letters '*o. C."on the side. 44 Look!" be cried ; " look, Edward!" The other, in turn, stood mute for a time, then gave, a spring towards the peg. tore the bags down and opened them. Within they found garments they knew their friend had worn, an empty belt, and the daguerrotype of a young girl o( whom they bad knowu him to be very fond. '• His bom- in the stable, his saddle-bags and belt here, the dog howling on the turf without—what does it all mean V cried Harry, again. And Net answered, '• We shall soou see," and strode into the gieat room where the dancing w\s going on. and up to the bridegroom, standing at the head of a Vir ginia reel, and with liis bride's hand in his own. "Stop a bif ? '' cried Ned, furiously. 44 We have a question to ask. Whose hore is that in the stable—the brown one, with a star on the forehead P " Mine,' 4 said tLe farmer, turning deadly white. " And the saddle-fwgs up stairs marked C. C. P The fanner turned jwler. • 4 Gentlemen," be said, 41 wait until morn ing, and I will expiaiu everything." " We choose to Irani the truth for our selves," said the young man fiercely. "Y on bad a mysterious streak of luck six months ago, I understand from the old man there," said Harry Bray. 44 Not very mysterious," said the farmer. " I went to the diggings, ami fell in with a nugget. As for the horse. I found him and the saddle-bags too. If you know to whom they belong, he's welcome to them." "They belong to the man you murdered for his money, and buried ; n the ground yonder, where the dog stands howling," cried Harry Bray. 4 ' Wc arc going to dig there, and heaven help any man who hinders us !" "Dig where you choose," sid tie far mer. "I tin too well known here to be afraid f two madmen. I murdered a man— I! There, I'm a fool to care for such word*! Dig. confound you! Many a horse strays iu the woods; many a man has found one as well as I. t'oroe, neigh bors, set the fiddles going, and let these madmen dig." And the spades sank into the turf and the terrified guest* gathered around, and the bride clurg to her husband's arm, and the music was dumb, and the dog's long, melancholy wail fillea the air, and at last, just aa the rising moon flung her yellow beams upon the newly-dug earth, Ned Warren cried in an awful voice, ''He is here!" And the two friends lifted from the grave that which bad !>cen a man. with long, death-grown black hair falling down over his shoulder*. He had been shot in the head and through the heart, and there was no doubt in either mind that it was the body of their lost friend. The farmer seemed pet rified with horror; the bride fell into a death like swoon; the guests fell away from their host and looked askance. The old father tore his hair and pleaded for mercy. But there was no mercy in any heart there. The avengers were all pow erful. The great room, adorned for festi val and mirth, was turned into a court room. The women were thrust from it; the men remained. On the raised stand where the fiddler had been seated, Harry- Bray now took bis seat in tlie character of Judge Lynch. The jury was named, the mock trial hurried on, and the accused called upon to answer. He pleaded not guilty. He denied any knowledge of the fact that a grave lay so near his home. He persisted in the repetition of the statement that he had found the horse and saddle bags, but he admitted that there bad been money in the latter. He stood before them looking very un like a murderer, calling on them for jus tice—calling on God to witneaa the truth of his words ; speaking of his youug wife and his old father; bidding his neigbbcrs remember that he had never done them any wrong.

The money he had with turn twing in gold, ami heavy for hi* belt, he placed it iu his saddle-bags, ami had completed mauv utiles of hi* journey, when, near a new but apparently doner led dwelling, he saw a man lying, greauiug terribly. Dis mounting, he assisted him, aud foutnl that he was a traveler who had been set njion by rufiiam and robla-.l and wounded. He had crawled to this house for assistance, hut found it empty, and uow lav dy iug in the road. Charlc* Cheater had douc hi* best for the poor fellow, but withrait avail, lie died in his arms just a* the sun went down; am), bv ita fading light, he had dug a grave on the turf before the empty homu-. and there buried him. There was no one within sight, and hi* fear* of attack upon himself warned him to hurry on; but when the last sad rite* were over, ami he turned to remount his horse, it was gone.

When he came to he found himself lying in a wagon, to which he had been conveyed by a kindly German, who could speak no English. In tailing, he had br ken his arm, and was very weak and ill. Before he wa* able to communicate his stnrv to any one, all hope of recovering either horse or money ha I deserted him. lie wa* in despair. He could not assist his parents, to return to his friend* would be to throw himself upon their bounty. This he would not do ; ami his struggle* bad been great at first, but they were over now. He had done w ell by tiie "old folk*," 1 and he had rot unit-i to pay his debts and resume his friendship with his old friends. He was with them ;he lived. The far mer had doubtless told the truth. He did n>t even know why the turf had grown *o green in the little yard, and be had found the bom- at large in the wood*, and knew nothing of the rider; hut the thing had been done, and could not be undone -the dead brought to lift?, or the maniac'* mind restored, or the blood washed from the murderer* hands. tit c>ure they told their story, and of cour-e they believed their friendship a* wnn as ever; but it was not so. They never met eaeh other again as of yon-. The two could not forget the man they had lynched to aveuge their friend, and doubted the ptopriety of hi* returning alive and merry to trouble their conscien ce*, which were quiet enough as long as he seemed dead. As for Charles Chester, he cleared the murdered man'* memory among hi* neighbors, and saw the wild eyed, white faced woman, who only shook her head and moaned and muttered when he spoke to her; and then be. too, wa content to say good-bye to those who lunl done the deed —albeit for hi* sake. So the three parted, each going hi* own way; for thus it seemed easier to forget the deed done by Judge Lynch and his court on the day of the bride's coming home. THF.

Made* of Courtship. Taking it for granted that the declara tion of the sentiment of love i* ■ privi lege of men, founded on natnre and sanctioned by custom, the various modea of making their declaration nnd of nr opting or refusing it by the women, were we able to give a jierfect account of it, won Id make one of the most enter taining and curious parts of human his tory, and equally furnish matter of spec ulation for the intelligent lady and the philosopher. It is takeu o a general rule, thut the declaration of love is the jieeuliar privilege of the men ; but. as all general rules are liable to exception, there are aLso exceptions to this. An Ismclitish widow had, by law. the power of claiming in marriage the brother of her deeeasiHl husluuid ; in which ease the privilege of the mule was transferred to the female, tliat of the female was likewise transferred to the male ; he had the power of refusing : the refusal, how ever. was attended with some very tnor tifviug circumstancea ; the woman he hnil thus slighted waa to come unto him in the presence of the elders of the city, and to loose the shoe from his foot and spit in liis face. To man, by nature Isihl and intrepid, and posscssis! with unlimited jsiwer of asking, a refusal was of but little con sequence ; but to women, more timid niul modest, and whose power of asking was limited to the brethren of her de ceased husband, it was not only an af front, bnt a real injury, as every one would therefore despise the woman, so that she wonld have hut little eliauce of a future huslmnd : hence, |ierha|is, it was thought necessary to tlx some pub lie stigma on fhe person who was so uu gnllnnt as not to comply with the ad dresses of a woman. A custom aomewhot Hiniilar to this re mains at present among some of the In dian tribes, particnlarly the Huron* and Iroquois. When the wife dies, the lius bnml is to marry the sister, or in her stead, the woman whom the family of the deceased wife may choose for liim. A widow is also obliged to marry one of the brothers of the deceased Irasrmnd.

AScntniOoCßT.—A Syracuse, N. Y., paiK-r gives a singular arena in Court as followsAn examination was had in ! the esio of Hugh Blessing, wLo stablied James McGoldrick. Julia, the daughter lof Blessing, testified that MeGoidriek had ruined her, and when she asked him to redeem his promise of marriage, lie said, "Go jMiison vourself." The father was then asked if lie deuied *tabbiug the boniplauiunt, and replied: "Deny stab-1 siug him! no, sir; I done it, and in tended to kill him 1" Here the man was i eeized with hysterics nnd shouted, " Oh God ! Kill me here, judge, where I stand. What have I to live for : My peace is ' gone. The coward has mined my ilauglt • ter, and I am eraxy 1" Then his wife i passed into fits, and both were removed j from the court-mom. The complainant produced James Burns, and while he was giving his evidence the girl clasped her hands, and said, " Oh, judge, that is not true. Oh, father, help me !" and, clasp ing her armsalKint the neck of her weep ing parent, she fainted and was carried : out of court. The judge then said, " I \ have examined this case at leugth foi j ; the purpose of learning if the father had I lieen justified in avenging the wrong alleged to have lieen committed by the ] complainant." He had heard the evi dence. and while his sympathy was with i the prisoner at the bur, the law eoin -1 isdled him to place Mr. Blessing under 1 8500 bail to auawer. The bail was im i mediately offered and accepted— the trial to come off lmfore the Court of General ! Sessions. IT adds a new horror to mil way acci dent* to know that there are four lions and one elephant on tlie unfortunate train. There was a collision on the Toledo and Wabash ltoud last week, which must have l>een thrilling. The wind was roaring, the lighting was flash ing, the Four Kings of Beasts were very vocal in their overturned cages, the em ployes were excited, and nobody showed any presence of mind except the elephant, who is ignonoiniously described as re maining "docile as a frightened calf." No harm, however, wa* done by the lions, for their dens wore nnsmashed.
