The tide rolled in with a low, musical mur mur. I sat down on a rock. Far out upon the bar a stately vessel swung at anchor, and a little boat from it was coming in. I watched the tiny craft with a kind of fascination. Presently it grated on the sand, and a man sprang ashore. A wild, nameless hope took shafie in lay heart. I arose and tottered forward, blind and half unconscious. The instant after a strong arm clasped me. I looked up in the face above me. It was wan and worn, and changed by suffer ing, but I knew it in an instant. "Ob, Horace! my husband!" I cried, "forgive me." Then I le't his tears upon my cheek, hi* kines on my lips, and I sank into his arms insensible. It is all over—the remorse the loneliness and the aching heart!

She found him sitting, with folded hands, in ; his lonely room, and while engaged in conversation her eyes rested upon some thing bright and soft which lay upon his pillow.

His last words, delivered m a very con fident toue, w ere: " Boys, wheu I return, I shall be in a position to entertain you at Dolmoui j eo's," The following remarkable story from the New Orleans fiiiiyusc, of the 9th, throws light ou what was] sussing through Newell's mind w hen he bade his good ! bye to his fellow-printer* : Andrew J. Newell, recently a ooinposi tor in this office, met his death by vio lence somew here in Lake l'ontehurtraiu about the fir t of the present mouth. His hotly was found lietween Salt Bay and Higolets. In his right breast were two holes, resembling gun-shot wound*. Hi* jHvkcts contained iMqa-ra that leave uo room to ilonbt his identity. He was in search of the treasure of the pirute ' Lafiltc. It is generally lielievt-d that an idiuont iueuleulable amount of wealth lies couocnled on one of the islands. Sjai-iric information of the wlieretdlouts of this treasure reached Mr. Newell in a sort of family trailition. Many years ago, when n crusade was beiug made by tins Southern States against Lnfitte's crew, it is said that five of the gang were ruptured near ltigolets —three men and two boys. The men were executed at once, but ow ing to the extreme youth of the boy*, and the state ment that they were forced to join La fitte's Runl, they were suffen d to go iu jiettce. Years afterward, when he had grown to man's estate, one of these bora obtained a shelter under the roof Nfr. Newell's father, in St. Tammany parish, where his mother still resides. lie was sick and toil-worn, and the family did all iu their power to alleviate his suffer ing. But he gradually grew worse, from day to ilav, and finally died, lu one of the islands of the Gulf they had secreted their treasure. He knew the place, iuwl he w ould give her such specific directions that it certainly could la- found.* These ilircetious were written down and pre served with scrupulous can- by the fam ily. Evidently they put implicit faith iu the statements of the dying rnnn—so much so. indeed, that upon three oc casion* the father of Mr. New ell started yu search of the place. But there appears to IK- U fatality almut it. In the first expcilition the K-at we wrecked, and he ami his eomjnuiion barely with their live*. The 1 aecoail time ho was only two day* out when the man he huil with him *m sun stricken, and returning home with him, he dual the next day. The third time he himself was taken violently ill, and had to return. The old man at this be came superstitions. He L lirxed that some fatal impediment prevented the discovery and guarded tho treasure. But ho transmitted the secret to his sou, and for years young Newell has la-en per ; sis tent in his desire to go iu * enroll of the wealth that lies hid iu tho Gulf. • His first attempt resulted in failure. He afterward communicated his secret to a friend now connected with this office, first putting him under the obligation of an oath not to revial it, nuil never to attempt the discovery unless by his di | reetion ami consent 80 probable did the tradition ajqa-ar to this friend, tluit accompanied by Mr. Newell, he went in search of the pirate's wealth. But a storm came on. Their lx>at was dis masted and the rigging torn and lock After Is ntiug at-out the lake anil gnlf for ten days they returned disheartened They did not reach the island they w ere in search of. Since then Mr. Newell has been jw-r --sistent in his deU-nnination to go again. He trieil to persuade his friend to aceom i pany him. Vnt the sail experience of his first expedition had disabused it of it* novelty, and induced him to abstaiu from prosecuting his search again. Mr. Newell wen' away iu his own lioat, ; reeently purchased and litteil up for the purpose.

In that way lie might have saved his own watch aud money, and at the same time performed an act of international courtesy, which would have been deeply appreciated on thia ■id®."

The complete eeusus of the Htato of New York snggt-sU some curious 00m 1-arin.uis aud eonelusiona, eapeeiolly in re-gard to the conditions of growth that have prevailed for the past five year*. One fact is evident from the moat cur sory examination of the figure*—namely, that the tendency to the oeutrwlixatioo of population in our ritieaia rapidly iu nroaaing. while the purely rural distriots •how 1-1 titer an actual decraaae or a very alow aud almost inappreciable growth. Following this point, through emjiar isons of the Htato census of 1A65 with the Federal census of IH7O, we find that the total population of the Htato amount ed to 4,402,7H8 in IK7O, and that in 1865 it was 3,831,777- allowing an aggre-gate increase of 571,011 in five years. But of this whole uiereaae, tho growth of two eitiea- New York and Brooklyn -ac counted for mote than one-half, or 315,- 678. New York gained 215,051 in five years, and Brooklyn gained 90.727. If to this we add the increase of West chester County (28,792) for the same perioil, which is re-allv r |ait of the growth of this City, the increase con sisting chiefly of lire overflow of our own |M>pulation, the total to be deduct-d frotu the State aggregate is !5W,470. This leave* only 231,541 as the total in crease of the State ouUide the cities of New York and Brooklyn and the County of Watohcster—or an annual average of aliout 46.U0U. Taking this ltabtnoe of 231,541 as a new jKiint of dejiarture, we find Hurt no leas sa amount than 73,764 must be de ducted from the total to account for the increase in the population of ten otlier •itn-a— h-aviug only the small remainder of 157,777 to repreaent the increase of all the rural districts in the H ate for half a decade. This result may Ire re garded a* due to three causes—the de parture of young farmer* from the old liotnostoads to seek thair fortuues in tire eitire aud large towns, the gradusl in crease in the quantity of laud hchl by •ingle owner*, and the tendency to emi grate to new homes in the West The cities are growing rapidly at tlie exjiense of the country, aud in these centres of Copulation, trade-, and industries of all iuils are flourishing more and more. .V. Y. I'nper. American* In BrailL It is kno* u that a few years sine quite a number of Americans went to Brazil to live, aud it is also known that most of thoac aho could not get away have suf fered terribly. The following story is told by a cormqxiudeut : The writer of this sketch was walking down tlte Itun Dericta, the great boule vard of llio Janeiro, one evening last January, when he was accosted bv a mis erable, ragged at d squalid-looking ob ject, who implored him, " for God's sake, give me only a rinlr " (less than a quar ter of a cent) "to get something to eat." The wretched man said be had been in Brazil four years. He had left a voung wife and child in Baltimore, and had emigrated with many other*, whom he said were then as destitute as he, hoping to rc)iair his fortunes, but instead, he had been going rapid]v down hill ever since he first landed in Brazil The gen tleman—-fo% despite his haggard look and ragged ®p|tearaicc, the man bore tlie semblance of respectability—said he was a graduate of the Jefferson College Medical School, in Philadelphia, and had at one time a large and lucrative practice in Richmond, Va. When reach ing Brazil he at first endeavored to prac tice medicine among tlie American col- ( onists of the tain Paulo province, hut the colonists were a* poor aa he, and he was finally eom]M>lled to return to Rio Janeiro sick at heart aud much more sick in laxly. Wandering a'*out the dingy streets of the vast city for days ujon days without * place to lav hi* head or scarcely a morsel to eat, he at last applied to the city authorities for employment, and though greatly debili tated by long suffering and exposure, he accepted employment on the public highways. Under the scorching rajs of a torrid sun this gentleman trundled his barrow through Uie streets of Rio Janeiro, filled with sand or stone for the pavers st work on the boulevards. Fi nally Ui'* doctor waa taken ill, and was eonseauenUy obliged to relinquish even that laborious means of subsistence, and a few days after the rencontre on the Rua Dereita. spoken of almve, he was found dead in a filthy hovel in an ob scure section of the eity. Being a Pro testant, he was denied a Christian bu rial by tho ecelesinatical authorities, when fortunately a few geucrous-hcsrted American sea-captains and the officers of the United States Flag-ship " lain custer '* had Uie jxior fellow decently interred. Simralar Story from Mew Orleans* The New Orleans f'iraynnr publishes the following atory in a department of the pajier where, a one of its 1000 l con teiupornries say*, reliable statements are usually found : " We heard this n.oruiug in the May or's nftiee of a deplorable circumstance connected with the exeeuUon of lhe twro Hpsniard* on last Saturday. The rope with which Uie miscreants were hung had been purrhaeed from a merchant doing business down town, who, it ap appesr*, had, at the time the purchase was made, been iudneod to witness the executiou. He was present whin the murderer* were made to jmy Uie jiennlty of their crime, ami the scene, revolting as it was, msde a deep impression upon hia mind. An hour or so after he re turned to his house, the evening jiapcra appeared. While reclining in his arm chair, hia wife read to him the detailed account from one of the paper*. Sud denly he interrupted her rv exclaiming in a frightened tone, " O, I see the.ra 1 I see them ! " and scarcely had these word* escaped lum when he dropped dead. We may menUon that the deceased gen tleman had for some time been afflicted with heart disease, and Uie impression which the accuc at the scaffold tuade up m him had evidently hastened his death.

An exception, however, is mode with re spect to the districts in which French is really the language spoken by the plo. A a English Romance.

He began life under the Jiauiteat St. Onu-r, jassscx! next to tire military college at Handhuret, got a corn mission in a dragoon regiment, the Carabineers, served with his corps t Dultliu and elsewhere, but soon took a disgust lsth at the profession and tlie company among which le wan thrown.

His brother officer* laugh's! at the young fellow's half-French, half- Knglioii jargon, for French was then his more familiar tongue, and reprobated Iris low tastes aud Uxme lotnjawionfc. He sold his rontmimiou and started to see life and seek adventures in Honth America. From Havre he sailed in March, 1653, to Yal|suwio, pushed in land toHantiago, where Iris body w-rvant, a. man named Moon-, waa taken ill; then set off ah m a on a purposeless ramble hither and thitlier, turned up at Bio, smi in April, 1854, end>urked <h-ad drunk in tire Blanche, bound for New York. From that day to this the Blanche has never la-en heard of.

In the beginningof 1866, a man ' a|i|Mntl who declared hi maid f the long-| loat Roger, and was soesptc.l aa each by 1 the ladv whom he claimed aa mother, i lowly Tkhborne di<l not herself long survive, but to the hour of her death she maintained her faith in the identity of her returned prodigal, allowed him £I,UOO a war and supported, try advioe and advance*, the legal steps IK- proceed ed to take to assert his right*. The rest of the family for the laoat part repudi ated the new corner and pronounced him an impostor. The claimant's account* of himself since he was last seen reeling drunk on board the ill-fated Blanche, at Bio, is that the vessel aank. but not until after the jametigere and erew bad got into a cnnplc of loat* ; that the boat* aoon parted company, Imt tin 4 one in s bich he sua Ml in with an American ' vessel, which took the party to Mel- < liourne. Roger was three day* and two 1 nights at sea in the small boat, and i m arly three months on board the *hip j which landed him at Mclbonrnn. There, . be says, he got employment un a sltoep farm. adopted the name of Thomas Cas tro, and after a while married. In 1866 he beard for tlie first time of his father's death, and hurried hack to England. On behalf of the child of four . years old, who has hitherto been rccog-, nized as the baronet, it conh*tded that the claimant i* no other than Arthur Ortoo, a Wapping butcher, who had worked hi* way out to Valparaiso before tke must, knew the South American ground over which " Sir Roger" pro fesses to hsve traveled, and falling in with some old servants of the Tiehborne family is Australia, picked up from them sufficient information to jams himself of! as the misaing baronet. Since bis return to England he has also won out Moore, the *" a lio aooomjMuiied the real Sir Roger from Havre. to Valparaiso. It is certainly remarkable that of nil thosv who sailed with him from Rio in the Blanche, the claimant should be the only one who has ever reappeared : that be should have married and settled in Australia without communicating in anv war with his family ; and that lie should so long liave delayed hia return to claim the title and oatatc. But the most stag-1 gcring jNirt of the ease is the personal | difference* between the claimant nnd the . Roger who went away in 18&3, It ia ad- ( mitted by his own counsel tlmt, at tlie | latter period, Roger Tichlwroe was slight in figure, with fair aud rather Irnk hair, and light coloml eyes. Tlie prcocnt •• Mir Roger" is of hroad and bulky frame, with crisp, dark hair. Auother reuuirkatile discrepancy is that the Roger who went away spoke Ireoch laittrr than he spoke English—-French was. indeed literally his mother tongue— but the Roger who lias now turned up doesn't know a syllable of the language. <>n tin* other hand, however, the claim ant evidently know* a good deal (how ever learned) about the Tichlmrne family and rotate*, i* sworn to a* the real Roger by several relative* and old friends of tile house. There ia one test he offers to submit himself to, which keeps up the romantic nature of the narrative. Roger before he quitted the country parked up a number of documents in a *11 |*or cel which he left with Mr. Roaford, the steward of the Tieliborne catnte*, with instrnctions to open it only in the event of his death, aud the claimant offers to state the content* of that parcel in order to prove his identity, 8I;CB A .SwnnMJt—ln New York re-J cently.

MONEY IN KANSAS. —Money-borrower* have rather a tough time of it in Kan sas, whether they succeed in getting * loan or not. Iu the first place, tlie legal rate of interest ia 12 per eenk per na utili!, which is about as much as any man in ordinary times would care to carry. Then, if a poor fellow's note goes to protest for non-payment, the law allows six per cent damages on the whole amount. Then, if a suit is brought on the note, and sustained, the maker must pay not only the legal costs, but the charges of the Holder's lawyer. Under stich circumstances, a Kansas man had better think three times before he fixes his autograph to one of these " Yalue Receiveds ; but we fancy that it is much in those regions as it is every where else, and that "short" gentle men there leave pay-day to take care of itself.
