Aping the present season; he has still on hand the lar

Tbe,pub4c may rest assured that all articles offered at
his storeare maufaetured from FRESH GOODS, par
- chased in the Eastern markets this spring and made in-
AC Vilma:its by Eitttsburgh workmen.
a consequence of the multiplication of slop shops in
our ciq, filled with pawn brokers clothes and the musty,
mutt oF garments of former seasons, from the eastern ci
-tins, the public should be cautious to ascertain the char
-10W of the establishments in which they are invited to
purchase, before they part with their money. The arti
' ides offered at se% eral of the concerns in this city, are
the mere offals of New York and Philadelphia slop
limps, and sent out here to be palmed off on the Pius

gainst. these impositions, and they may rely on the fact
• &Attie establishment thatadvertises eastern made Clo
thing, can give as good an article or as advantageous
bargain' s as can be had at the "Three Big Doors."

have obtained for furnishing d
a superior s b ty elolew of CLO

Nqb,. He would again return his thanks to his friends and
the public for the unprecedented patronage bestowed
upon' his establishment, and believing that they have

meet his invitation to all those who wish to purchase

In the Rue St. Honore, Paris, stood a small beam
occupied by the Lady Magdalene de Seeded, ttesh,ses
red friend of Louis XIV. and of Mianine 416 bisixesetek
and famed moreover for her romances end hmehersto
in; verses, which were the admiration of the Ftleell
' court.
It was near midnight, in the autumoof they= Iss
when a knocking was heard at the door of this honor i
so loud that the lower hall resounded. Pierre, the *I
male servant in the lady's little household„ was goers
from Paris, with her permission, to be preient.at the,
marriage of his sister; and it so happened that Martin' iie.
re, the maid, was this night the sole companion of ter
mistress. She was none of the most -coo:epees, sea
sat trembling inher chamber, listening to the repeste#
knocks, and thinking over all the tales of thirirytta sued
murderers her busy memory could supply. But the
clamor at the door redoubled, and she could rresay
tinguish a voice, whether in menace or septs the
could not tell. Fearful that her mistress Might beli.
wakened, the maid snatched up the light, and ran 46
window that overlooked the entrance to the bomb.-
From there she distinctly heard a voice esmreating iii•
mission in the most urg - uat manner.
"This is no : the manner of robbeis," thmsght * 14,t•
tlni 2 rc. "Who knows but some unfortunate perms, is
peril of his life, has, come to seek refuge hens, losonsiog
my mistress to be always ready to aid the distressed?'
Therewith she threw open the window, cad demi:Aid
who made such a noise at the door, at this late lustre.
She tried to disguise her voice, and assume the Aoki
---.7f
tones of a man.
By the faint light of the moon, through drift*
clouds, the maid discovered a tall figure wrapplik ins
dark mantle, with a broad-brimmed hat pulled doin
closely over the face. She called aloud, as if toi. pie
sons within the house ; "Baptiste! Claude! Piet*" is,

U M
the stranger replied, in a gentle though
tone:
"Ali, Martiuiere, is that you? I know your race
well, however you strive to disguise it. I km', tans
that Pierre is not at home, and that you are shoe 'with
your mistress. You have nothing to fear from tele, be
assured. But I must speak, and this moinent, with
your lady." ,
"You are mistaken," cried the maid, "if yon initigisl
my lady will speak with you at this hour of the tight.',
She is sleeping; and on no account would I roulettes'
fr...m the repose so necessary at her time of life."
"I em aware," replied the person below, "that yolk
mistress, not long since, laid aside the manuscript - el
!her new romance, to complete Some verses which
is to morrow to read to the Marquise de liaintentatt. .1
conure you, Martirdere, to have mercy upon me, and
open the door. Your doing so may save a wraelantin
destruction. The honor, liberty, nay, the lifer artier
man being hinge on the interview I musthavettis fe.
stant with your ntistress. Consider, you wig remelt
incur her displeasure, when she learns that you dreve
from her door an unhappy being who sought bar
aid."
"Come to-morrow morning," said the maid.
Her voice betrayed her hesitation. The smogs?
answered quickly and bitterly:
"Does fate or the blasting lightning wait for catento
nicnt hours? Have I not told you, that salvasionliange
cn this moment? Can you refuse ma help? Open the
door; you have nothing to fear from a miserable sett:A . 4
like me; I come only to implore succor, that I may be
saved from impending ruin!"
ISlartiniere observed that these words were uttered in
a tone of the deepest anguish, and interrupteti by sobs:
and that the voice was a youtlifel one. Her heart melt
ed; and without further deliberation, she descended the
stairs and opened the door. .
No sooner was the door open, than the siesuegte
rushed in. The light held by Martiniere fell Ad 00091
his face, which was that of a young man, pale want*
and bearing the marks of violent emotion. '
"Lead me to your mistress!" he exclaimed, so londly
that the maid 'was ready to swoon with fright. • • His
mantle had fallen back, and she saw the gleam of &der
ger in his belt. Hastily ascending the smirs,up whieh
he followed her, she closed the door of the anteoroom
to the chamber of Mademoiselle Scuderi, and placed
herself firmly against it.
"Your behaviour within the house," she said few
lutely, though in a trembling voice, "does not at ill
agree with your humility without, which won my too
I ready sympathy. You shall not now speak with her
ladyship. If you mean no ill, as you pretend, yott Intl
come to-morrow; now you must depart."
The man sighed deeply, but looked fiercely at Mar
tiniered, and grasped the handle of his weapon. She
stood firm. returned his glance boldly, and pressed
I more closely against the door.
"Let me pass!" cried the stranger.
"I will not stir from this place," answered the deer&
ted maid, "do what you will. You can murder me
but your crime will, sooner or later, be expiated cm the
I scaffold, where many of your companions in guilt hive
I bled already."
"You take me to be a robber," renamed the youth:
with flashing eyes and a scornful smile—"andsooth I
look like one at this moment; but my companions in
guilt, I would have you know, are not yet judgetil"— ,
and laughing wildly, he drew his dagger. Martiniere
prepared to receive the death-stroke, when the clatter
of the horses' feet and the clash of weapons was hand
in the street. "The guard! help, help"! cried she. But
her mouth was stopped by the hand of the intruder
" Woman, you would destroy me!" he ev‘.l.aimad 111 a
low, hoarse cone. ..It is all over, take this--take ix—
give it to your mistress to-1:i 'ht, to-morrow, when you
Iwill." And he pressed a small casket into herhands,
agaimenjoineet, it on her to let no one open it but bet
i mistress, and snatching the light from her, extinguish
ed it and hastened out of the he ose. Martiniere, con
fused and terri:ird, with didioulty groped her way
beef: to her chamber. where she sank half fainting on
I the bed. Not many minutes had elapsed, whets s i x ,
heard the hall door open, and liTht, stealthy steps as
cend the 't-irs sal aproach her appartrneat. - Sheet
peered nothing else than the return of the fearful visit.
or. and it wa. , no .mall comfort t,O her to see, by the
lieht efa lantern, the face of Pierre. It was he who
had retured earlier than he anticipated from his vacua , .
sion. He had encoontcred in the street the patrol,and
had been arrested, whence the clamor thatiaad reached
the ears of Ma. -t"niere. "I was well knows to Des.
wars, the marsha', said Pierre, "and he ordered my
release as soon as he b.-ought his lantern to my face. I
shall take etre how I ern caught out so late again.
Bet just as I came up the steps a man, wrapped in a
mantle, with a drawn dagger in his hand, rushed pug
me and escaped. 1 found the door lucked. Whe t does this mean?"
1 Martiniere related what had happened. and showed.
'the casket. Pierre agreed with her in deciding that
the intruder bad some evil intent. "A wittchfhl rs.a
