ing the unprecedented sales at the Three Big Doors,
during the present season; he has still on haul the lar

that 'can he botglit west of the mountains.—
The public may rest assured that all articles offered at
hitstore are maofiolured from FRESH GOODS, pur
chased in tha Eastern markets this spring and made in
to garments by Pitttsburgh workmen.
In comecrence of die multiplication of slop shops in
oar city, filled with pawn brokers clothes and the musty,
cast off garments of former seasons, from the eastern ci
ties, the public should be cautious to ascertain the char
acter of the establishments in which they are invited to
purchase, before they part with their money. The arti
cles offered at several of the concern in this city, are
the name offals of New York and Philadelphia slop
siuspa, and sent out here to be palmed off on the Pitts
burgh public. Purchasers should be on their guard a
gainst these impositions, and they may rely on the fact
that no establishmeot that advertises eastern made Clo.
thing, can give as good an article or as advantageous
bargains as cap be had at the "Three Big Doors."
Thepablic sill please remember that all the subscri
ber's garments are made in this eity,by competent work
men, and not gathered up like the goods now offered by
the "birds of passage" from the shreds and patches of
eastern slop shops. It will always be his endeavor to
maintain, the reputation that the "Three Big Doors"
llurre obtained for furnishing a superior style of CLO
THING in every respect, and at prices below those of
any other establishment.
He would again return his thanks to his friends and

"%rut his establishment, and believing that they • have
found it to their advantage to deal with him, he would

FOE SAFETY,
Travellers should select Boats provided with
Evan's Safety Guards for preventing Explosion of
Steam Boilers
IT would be well fur the traveling community to
bear in mind that their security depends entirely
upon their own encouragemerat of boats that have or
may tie at the expense of procuring the above appara ;
ans. And that every individual making such selec
tions is contributing towards a general introduction of
an invention admitted by all men who understand the
pt inciples of the Steam Engine, to be a sure preventa
tive against those dreadful disasters. You have cer
-401,4e the huudreds of explosions that have already
taken place, their almost daily occurrence, and the
thousands of lives that have already been lost, a suffi
cient warning, anti inducement to make inquiry for a
Safety guard Boat, and in evety case to give it the
preference. They have went to an additional expense
that your lives may be secure. Ought you not therefore
to meet them with a corresponding degree of liberality,
and by your preference show that you appreciate their
laudable endeavors to stop this awful sacrifice of hu
man life. They Act not charge more than other heats;
their accommodations in other respects are equal, and
in many cases superior; and as there is one leaving
Pittsburgh . every day, why will you run any risk, when
it is so completely in your own power to avoid those dis
asters.
All boats marked thus [`] in the List of Arrivals and
Departures, in another part of this paper, are supplied
with the Safety Guard.

this moment, the cold drops of mortal terror bane

I scanty earth that covered the surface of the laxaliar

projection on the side, that must have instatesseasisly
given way to a less pressure had it not been of the

nerveless limbs!" cried" the bridegroom, arrivinottlest
moment; "the Raven has reached his tower—sad wine

his voice into a furious shout, "ravisher! Murdered

and I swear by every thing binding on man's soul, to
divide in twain my sword with thee; and, -although,
thou desert est to die like a dog, to fight a fair fight
with thee on this hill side, without frierid or witness,
save yonder setting sun, and him who made it." Bat
the Raven was deaf even to so courteous an offer, be
lay on his back upon the cliff, apparently without sense
or motion, his legs hanging over the sido--seeming
like a poet's personification of Danger, to have thrown
him
`•On the ridgy steep
Of some loose, hanging rock to sleep."
"Take this, then, to rouse thee!" said the brid
tearing up by main force, a fragment of the =172
hurling it across the chasm: it fell with a heavy sated
on the outlaw's breast; and he raised himself up like a
chained mastiff, at the pain and insult. "Wke art
thou?" he cried, hardly coming to recollection; "what
d ost thou seek?" "What do I - seek T-0 God!—Loot[
here!" replied the bridegroom, stretching his arms
and his body far over the cliff towards the destroyer,
while his voice was choked with the opposite and com
bining emotions of grief and rage.—"W hat do I seat

his clenched teeth—"l seek to fulfil the oath I made to

"Tempt me not!" said the outlaw; "halt thou net

ened on thee. Get thee gone; but cross no mote dek
path of one who has neither fear nor mercy." The
avenger paused for a moment, and then paced to and
fro by the edge of the rock, with the restless and ire
patient step of a beast of prey along the bars of his
cage; but soon his brow grew blacker, and his hire met
with a firmer resolution—"He is spent with fut o ns's,"
he said aloud, although communing 'only with himself;
"he is weary with murder, or he would by this time
have sought the ford. What holds me from leap*
into his den? I am younger than he; my limbs am
more supple than his. What care I for the craven lay
which threatens death for the attempt?—my vengeance
shall not be stayed with a song. It shall be sot t)
weight of despair is surely not greater than the weight
of guilt." And so saying, he stepped backward to the
proper distance, and j'egan to prepare himself for the
adventure. This he did, in the first place, by striking
his blade into the ground, clasping his hands, raising
stp his face towards heaven, and repeating a short pray*
er for success; but although he stood thus in an shim&
of Christian devotion, he might have seemed to reser,.
Me more one of the ancient - A
iani, whose only objector*
worship, as Ammianus hlarcellinus informs us, was a
naked sword stuck in the earth. He then drew forth
his good steel again, and, l lanting his feet firmly is
their proper posture, was about to spring forward to
the perilous undertaking. The outlaw, who had ap
parently watched his movements, and even hoard his
words, raised himself gradually from his reclining per
ture—first on his knees, and then, as his enemy's pre.
partitions seemed to be nearly completed, upon his
feet. "Stop!" he cried; “witness that I at least have
not sought this. The event be on your head! I con-
fess that I-am worn oat—l am alone and unarrned;but
the visitor who thrusts himself unbidden on me here,
shall never live to tell what welcome he met with in the
Ravens Tower."
The reply of the avenger was to wave the bloody
handkerchief in the air, which he then plated in his iscs•
, om; and, clearing the intervening space at three rapid
bounds, he darted from the side of the mountain. The.
desperation that had prompted him to adventure, lent
an energy to his limbs which it was believed only one
man of that day possessed, and he alighted on the
brink of the rock; yet so barely was the feat perform?.
ed, that, had he not seized the outlaw's arm, who
struck a furious a blow at him as he touched the ground,
he could not have preserved his footing, even for a sin
gle moment. They were both men of more than *Mi.
nary strength, and - their mutual hate was of trim than
ordinary fierceness; and, had that meeting taken place
upon the mountain's side. or had the assailant even
gained a firm footing upon the rock, it is more than
probable that the evening's sun would have gone down
upon the struggle. But here was a contest of Irani.
ors in the field—no flashing of the sword—no spilling
of blood—r.o cries of triumph;or of vengraice! On the
one part, it was an instinctive, silent clinging to the
only object of support within reach—and, onthe other,
a desperate but hopeless resistance against a power
which seemed, with supernatural force, to begradually
dragging him to perdition. They stood thus for some
moments upon the smooth and sloping edge of thepre.
cipice, their frames convulsed, and their sinews crack
ing with the intensity of the struggle, and yet their mo
tion toward the brink scarcely perceptible. They look
ed in each other's faces, and saw in the damp and
ghastly features the image of death.
"I warned thee!" at last broke, in choked accents,
from the white lips of the outlaw, as their fate became
certain, and a glare of rage and terranillumined form
instant his despair. The bridegroom replied by betid
ing down his head, with a last effort, and tearing with
his teeth from his bosom the bloody signal of ven
geance, which he held un in the destroyer's face.—
The next moment befell backward into the abyss, still
clinging with a death clasp to his enemy, and they
commenced their headlong descent; and so firmly did
he retain his hold, that, althounli the projecting points
of the rock mangled their bodies out of the form of
men, vet they arrived, still ,and in hand, in one mass
