"Mo ther," fcaid the boy, "and Fartier.and Ellen and you childher, you've pushed the thiug ao far that you drive me to tell ys all.orxe j and for sver, that I can not go!" Patrick (senior) let his pipe fall with astonishment. The mother turned pale with sorrow and displeasure. Ellen arose, and going lo Patrick's side he had not taken a seat drew hirn out of doors. They want a few steps from the house in silence, and reaching a tree paused there. Paddy j folded his arms, leaned against K-.z tree, bowed his head, and stood in troubled silence. Ellen placed her hands upon his, and not a word was spoken till, when she felt her brothci's hoi tears full upon her hand, she cried: "Sure, Puddy, you are not going to !ave us now !" And the fell upon his neck and clung to him with the evidences of earnest and frantic atfeclirjn. "Indeed, indeed, Ellen darling, it is you that leave me. It is you that go away from the land where God is good to us, to fek a new home and new friends over sea. i ;ctn not go there with you, Ellen ; indeed I can't."

Patrick did nol re-! enter the house, but proceeded homeward to the place which was now doubly ome lo him, since the home of his child hood was about to lc broltu ui. Hu( the i c fforts of his mother to change his determi nation did not cease, arid many a Imli'-al-tetcatiou he had with his family in his cow frequent visits. Slist, though strongly lempicd to yield, he never won! J givafull consent, and the sight of Norah' reassured him in his' resistance. The few weeks that remaiucd between tho fixing upon the pur pose of emigration and the day of depar ture, were a long. long time to Pat Hi!:, and a season of sad trouble ; and he coold not speak with freedom to any of his 'dis tress. Norah was high spirited, and (he bare suspicion of the manner in which her name was bandied. And her love for rut rick all but cursed at the house of hit fa ther, would have led her to forbid Patrick ever to speak on the subject to her again. I With slow reluctance the family gave way to Patrick's resolute determination, und ceasing' unkind reproaches, loaded him with tenderness, that much more arVeeted hi, determined spirit. The day of parting came at lust, and Jorah herself proposed ; that she should accompany her betrothed j to take leave of his kindred, it was a dan- gerou thing for hun to sufier, Patrick knew ; but bow could he avoid it T And what would he have thought ol her, too, had she not proposed it ? Unmixed and bitter waa the grief with which Patrick's kindred took leave of him to commence their long journey, i They sorrowed as persons who should sec his lace no mare; and without extravagance or hyperbole, the passion of grief which they felt and exhibited may be termed heart-rending. Scarce a -word did they give to Norah. The mother looked on her utmost with aversion, and the father scarce heeded her present:? at all. Ellen only said : "Cherish him, Norah lo7e him, lor you see what he forgoes for you. God for give him if he is wrong, and me if he is rig.i.1 They CHAPTI.B IV. were pone. Norah thought it as but natural, at first, that Patrick should be sad, for the interview which she had witnessed made her unhappy tea. Hut she was not well pleased that his gloom con tinued. Weeks and months passed, and still Fatrick hud not resumed his former light-heartcdneF3. Nor did there appear any indication of its return to him. The wedding day, to which he once looked for ward with continual expectation, and of w hich, at one time, he daily spoke, ho now seemed to dread and scarcely mentioned. And when he did speak cf it, it was with I a forced appearance of interest. Norah was offended at his coldness, nn I ss he did not press, as formerly, a positive and early dale, you may be sure that she did not increase in impT.irnce for the nuptials to whiph Patrick appeared to be growing laily more indifferent. I!e thought her ; ungrateful that she did not duly estimate sacrmce ne naa maue lor ncr; ana she considered him weak-minded that he had over estimated his alTeclion for her, and undervalued his own kin, and was ! now repenting. Patrick was indeed more miserable than ever he had been before in his l!re. Not a word had he hcr.rd from his connections in many long months ; and what Eilen said to him under the tree be fore his father's door, now haunted him "Shall we plough tho seas while you cling to hf apron-strings ? Will you bo easy in your bed, when (he mother that loves you is tossed on the sea, and the sister that toilsd for you is drowned V By day these words haunted him, and by night his mo ther and sister rose out of the sea to come to his bedside. And truly, when he waked in a cold perspiration of terror from these visions, it was hard to persuade him that they were not true ; and that the sea had not verily given up its dead to reproach him. " Norah, dear," he said at length one evening, ns they sat alone, " my heart is broke, so it is She answered with a look ia which deep sorrow mingled with all her old affection. Ncr did she resist when he drew her to '''s s'd? an P-c:jd her head against his boso.n. He felt thai he could not cay what he must when her eyes met his. So shd nestled lovingly to him while he sat long in silence. She gypssrd, hi:t would not ask, whet he wished lo ctj, end at length he continued : " Every morning when I waka it is to hear what they said to me, when I would n't go with them.

You think me changed and that my heart is turned, and my manner is unkind but, Norah dear, what wiil 1 do, what can I do?, . " It's all your sick fancy, Patrick and may be your conscience is not easy," said Norah, shaking oS the spectral influence of Paddy's dreams. " It's all your own notion, Paddy dear. Your mother and all of them are well and happy barring that they feci the loss of you as much as you do of their absence. And I know their consciences are not easy, Patrick, for the hard words they said to you must leave a deep wound in their own hearts. You must go to them, Patrick !" " What, Norah, and Jcave you!". "And wiry not . Sure, Puddy dear, yotf're not worth a body's having now, and that's the truth. You are not the seme lad that you were at all, aud what will I do with tuch a man ?

Will 1 give them up and go away, because vou can't give yours up 1 It isn't reason, Patrick.' In vain did our hero strive to change Norah's determination. Her arguments were unanswerable, and he was fnin to submit. After many days' irresolution he resolved, but still not without doubts and misgiving?, to follow his parents lo Ainer icc. The resolution taken, the spectral appearances thai had annoyed him ceased. Ilo was hali tempted lo retreat frcm his purpose, but Norah gave him no encour agement, and his nocturnal visiters threat ened lo renew their visits ; so that he was fain to adhere to Lis resolve, and take a steerage passage to the great entre pot of the New World New York. Great was his amazement upon arriving there to find that it was n place so large, and one of so many larg- places, and that to inquire of his family there was of as little utility as it would be to nsk for his master's dog in Dublin. It was a sad trial to Pa! thttt he had come to a Mrange land, he vsrily believed, to no purpose. Hut it was necessary for hin to do, or ttarve, and finding employment he worked, with n heavy heart it is true.but ttct without hope. Chance (or we should better say Provid- fence) directed him to a priest, to whom he j related Ins dJiicult position and almost I extinguUhcd hopes. Tho kind father was struck with his tale, and after a moment's I pondering referred tc his record of priestly 'acts, and surf enongii there he founi the; nnme of E'lcn O'Brien O'Brien no " Mighty easy it was, then, for her to ! come over!" shouted Pat, "fine tulk her'sj to me about selnshness, and drowning, and , ' , i ' " ' of it, to write und read them Ion" letthers ! ! But it has given mc the lirst trace of them anyhow, and that's something." With this clue, tho persevering young Irishman was not long in tracing the party to iheir late stopping-place ::, for they were there no ionger. He followed lo Albany, and there again lost the scent, for a parly of poor emigrants are not so easily followed. Again he heard of them in Buf falo away, it seemed to him, at the verge of the world and again he pursued.! " Sure I will find them now," he said, "if it is only to havo a fly at that traitor, Ellen God bless her I" At Buffalo he was again disappointedor from thence also they had flitted. " It 's the Wandering lew, Ellen has married, no doubt," said he, "lo lead me this dance.&nd she to rate me so ! Wait till I find them once more." Time would bo unprofitably spent in tracing all poor Pat's journeyings, includ ing many excursions from the main routs. Wherever the sinews of his countrymen were busy upon public works and other enterprises in which the labor ol the 6turdy Hibernian is found so valuable, there Put wandered and patient perseverance was at last rewarded. Il3 had traced out on impromptu village on a rail road track, where the delvirs had put up cabins which they would sorrow to leave. As he looked curiously through the little settlement, he was startled to hear his own name shouted, and in a moment more ono of his many brothers had him Ly tho neck, r. itli a hug as stifling as if ho had taken lessons in the new country of one of those undisputed natives the black bear. Pat had much ado lo slop his brother's c'amcr. that he rmgkt surprise the other?. UNION CO., PA., ARRIL 24, 1850. And ha was, astonished, njoreuver, to. find hull) Phcliin (for he it was) with a Sunday fatx- on in the middle of the week. This mystery was solved when they reached the cabin ; for there was a gathering in honor of the first Patrick of tho third generation ! "It's this you wero up to, iKM.cn, it; it hooted Patrick, bursiiei? ur.uu them. "I thought it wasn't entirely lo make Phulim a prisident, and Michael a djuko, that you come over !" , Tears, shouts of laughter, frolic, pathos, poetry, and proe most una JurueJ, made up tho delightful melange at that unexpected meeting. 11 AFTKR V. Patrick found that his family had indeed made a happy change. There waa no gainsaying that. And he himself espe.-i-e:iced no difficulty in procuring emplcy-! ment ; but he wts far from -being ss we!! content as tho others. He wrote to Norah upon his arrival e.t Nu-.t York, and again when he had found his father und mother, aud he wanted eadlv to invite her to join him in Amurisa. But for the same reason I that he did nol return tc Ireland, he dared j not aak her to come over; for if ho could' not leave his friends, how could she le expected to leave hers j He would have gone "home" as he persisted in call- l m.7 it. but. strange to nav.

PaI k&tror thn nft In .IJ t... own husband ann child ' not excepted, is was with a feelinj of wrong that she heard or thought of his loving any one else, I cr being beloved by any. Sad news began now to come from the old country and the O'Briens had no let ters ; but others had, and tho newspaper? were full of the dreadful destitution and the deaths from starvation in Ireland. Now poor Patrick was worse afflicted than he had been by separation from his parents. Tidings cams of eta rvat ion cad death in houses the inhabitants of which he knew were wealthier far than Norah's father ; and he feared thctsAe might even want for a bit of bread, while he rolltd in pl-suty Had ho pursued his own inclinations he would have posted back but Ellen said "Don't think of such a thins! Is it mad you arel When there's people dying' there of tho hunger will you go snctch the j bread from their mou'hs ! Or will you goi "home,' as you call it, and feed the three' kingdoms from your own pocket."' Pat-i rick was hurt and he thought of the two: Morah was fur tha best comforter. I Peep indeed was the distrm that rested upon unhappy Ireland. And Patrick's fears fir his frienls at home were hut toi well founded. Sickness and fam ine invaded the district in which Patrick was born ; and though his old master et first was bountiful to those eround him, s'ern necessity at last brought its admoni- lion that he must withhoij his hand. There is distres that opens the hear' ; but when it comes to dividing your living w ith your neighbor, to become nt last lel!ow in hi? ned, the instinct of self preservation chills charity.

And now at last Norah and himself only remained of all that happy household ; nnd they had but to prepare their last food end die. The immense demand which had been mad? upon the ch tritable had proved too great for the supj ly ; and men had ceased nt last to think it a strango thing that people dird of hunger. Often did Korah think in her distress of him who was now far away. And hecrti ly she rejoiced for his sake, that he had not remained to add another cl&imnnt on tho public charity, to ths thousands who pleaded unavai'ingly for it. Put it was sad to think that he must one day hear that her he loved had sunk into the grave, the last of her hesse, for to death she firm ly looked as the only hope cf release from suffering. A footstep broka the silence; but it hardly distwbad her revery. It was the kind ecclesiastic whe had been present nt the death of her mother and her brothors who hod seen her sister buried, and lo whoa she herself looked, at no distant day for the last offices of the church. His fre quent visits had become part of her daily experience, hut she'saw now that his face wore something more than the usual calm expression. She looked up inquiringly, and he placed in her heads a letter addres sed to his care for her. She knew the handwriting, and could scarce cctr.mind (irmtes3 to break '!e se-aN j tnJ wafers with which over caution had secured the letter. It wa from Patrick, ! and enclosed more money than she had be- fore seen for many weeks. "Now, ttod be praised,'' fhe cried, "my father ahall find comfort fgsin." ? . V'l "Ilu has fcunJ it, c".Ui-hter !" said the priest iu a solemn voice fro.n the bedside. j Nore.h hurried there, to receive, in the last fain; smils, a father's inaudible blessing Need we eay that tho good priest gave Norah sound adice : o wit, that the n?e ney which she had received were better expended in finding her way to Patrick, than in protracting a weary existence in the plnce now so aad to her. Ellen's wcl comlf was not tho least hearty which No rah received ; all agree that there was a Providence in the events which guided Pat rick before bur lo America. Norah is enenshecas one of tso "childer, and Mrs. O'Mrien insists that her mistake at the hedside years beforo, wa!only a bit of pro - ' f-ccy. for her heart always yearned to Norah 03 one of her own. All arc well p'tascd ; and though a shade of sorrow for '1Pr kindred is habitual to the countenance of Mrs.Norah O'Prien.it adds to the sweet ness ol its expression, and is a better look, in its resignation, h in one of discontent or i vacuity. j As to the young cousins in the nhbor- nood we leave ,neir "tistics to the next census.

The uitiiriately overwhelm him in bankruptcy j freedom of the North seeks to extend it er urive him into roguery or crime.

"Vile wretch!" say millions ; "it is good enough for him, but we must pity his poor family." Half the men who are loathed as drag ging down their families to shame and des titution aro really themselves dragged down by these families driven to bankruptcy, shame nnd crime by the thoughtless end basely sottish extravagance of wife and children. Let a man be in the way of re ceiving considerable money, and having property in his hands, and his family can rarely he made to comprehend and realise that there is any limit to his abilities to give and spend. Fine dresses and orna ments for wife and daughters ; spending money every now and then, and richer furniture and more of it at nil times these are a few of ihe Liind drains on "the gov ernor's" means which are perpetually in actio:.. N. Y. Tribune. That's a truth plainly sp?sen. Families are as often the ruin of a man as rr.ar: is of a f-.mily. Thera is a foolish pride which maintains the mastery over the brains of some vein people, that prompts them to ape a station in society which their means will not justify, bet heed'esj cf consequences they persist in profii-jacy to the"bitter end.'' How many ius'ances of bankruptcy, ro guery and crime, might be cited of modern dale, which are ihe direct effects of an ex travagant family ; and yet how little those lessons art heeded. Three thousands years experience under the sublime truths of the "Proterb'' "Pride goclh before destruc tion, and a haughty spirit before a fall" has not apparently profited human nature anything.

The free State was founded twelve years later th- the slave State their soil and clim.re are equal yet, in less than half a century Ohin has a million of citizens more than its neighbor. The consequence has naturally been, that the North has. by its natural crowth, acquired a constant aug- ' .. nnlitical ascendency, pf which Mr. Calhoun end the South comp lain. Put that fact is inherent, nol in the political institutions of ths Union.bot in the jcia! condition of lha States themselves ; and the injustice, or inequality against which Mr. Calhoun protests, are the direct consequences ol that very state of things which he attempts to perpetuate and to ex tend. The North has gone on, with gigan tic strides, to cross the Rocky Mountains and subdue tho Prairies of tha Wct ; the Suuti; has infinitely less force to multiply itself, to expand, to increase.

The Editor of the Syracuse Protector, speaking of the statement that tha denih nnd burial of a man in California cost $1)00, says that is a mere trifle, and that he knew of an instance in Massachusetts where the process was completed at an expense of just f 100,000. !t began at a fashionable drinking saloon, had terminated in a two cent groggery. It took a number of years lo complete the job, for the man was tough but alter he took lo drugged liquors (nn longer able to buy the purer and more cost ly) the business proceeded rapidly enough. The cost cf dying consumed hia entire property, so that nothing waa left for his burial expenses. The town furnished him with a pine coffin and a pauper's grave.

Tha April num'aer of ihe Philadelphia Medical Examiner contains a curious sta-' tisticul articlo of Professor Tucker, of the' University of Virginia, going to show that the number of M. Il.'s graduated annually from all the schools is tha United States, is not sufficient to supply the annual demand, lie allows one physician to SOt persons, ; which would give 20,875 as the whole number of medical practioners in the Uni on. .mong the free white adults of ihe country, the annual srorality ia two per cent. Tho annual mortality among the physicians, is, therefore, 53T, even seppo sing it to be no greater then the average mortality of white adults ganera'.ly. Prof. T. next shows that the ennucl increase of our population, ty natural multiplication and immigration may be staled at 802.(100, requiring an increase of !C02 physician. He next makes an allowance for those who leave the profession for other pursuits.thosa who graduate and never practice, and those who rradutin in two schools are reckoned twice, allowing fir ail thosa two par cent, or 327. He then arrives al the sum cf 207tJas the numb-r of ne practitioners an nually required; while the entire gradua tion of the schools is but aixmt 1500, leav ing a deficiency which in the language of. Prof.Tucker, must be "supplied from tha large class of uneducated and half-educcted practitioners, who are still suffered tospsri' i w ith the heclth and lives of ihz cruuiour multitude."
