TOIL. RAILING PASSION
One of the prettiest of the German wa
;ering•places is Schlossenbourg.
A long, straight, tedious avenue takes
you to it from the bright-looking town of
F ; twelve long miles without a rail
way; but when you get there, it is like a
garden with houses in it, not houses with
a garden to them—a garden filled with
flowers, exquisitely kept, tastefully laid
out, stretching into a park and woods that
an English duke might envy. Then there
is a conservatory, with tall palm-trees and
other exotics; a Chinese temple, with gas
lights at night, that are contrived as if
they sprang from, amongst the flowers;
and morning, noon and night, music—
from one of the best bands in Germany.
You may sit and hear it in the garden,
sipping coffee all the while, or you may
go into a well-lighted room, provided with
every newspaper in every language you
could desire, fitted up like the most lux
urious djawing-room. You may also re
mark in the one lohg street of which the
town of Schlossenbourg consists, that
every other house is a banker's or money
changer's, where all kinds of facilities for
obtaining or changing money are offered.
" How rich 'Lnd prosperous the little
town must be," . you remark ; " what a
beneficent government ;" for all these lux
uries are given for nothing. No visitor
is asked to pay for the expensive garden
that surrounds his lodgings, or the gas, or
the music, or the newspapers, or the sofas
—all is generously provided by some in
visible power. Let us walk into the no
ble saloon, with its lofty painted ceilings,
pastlhe—soft-seated newsroom, and we
shall see the munificent prOvider of flow
ers and music—the board of green cloth,
the bank and directors, the rouge et noir,
and the roulette table.
The bank is obliged to lay out a certain
portion of its enormous profits every year
on the place; the gardens, the conserva
tories, and every luxury are kept up to
render attractive the temple of the blind
goddess. •
•
It is a 'mistake to look for firey passions,
deep despairs among the players ; moat
wear an outward calm • there is only a sort
of fixed, haggard look ' and contraction of
the mouth, sometimes to be detected, that
speaks as with an inward curse.
I had come to Sehlosseilbettrg - as the
.medical attendant of an old and valued
friend as well as patient. I had no money
to risk, and I was determined not to be
seduced by that strange chink of gold, and
the atmosphere of excitement pervading
the rooms.
My friend, Harry Melville, found 'no in
the reading-room one evening. " Come,"
said he, " Halford, as you are a philoso.

hesitate she looked eagerly at her notes,
then took up the money and disappeared
so rapidly that I did not see her leave the
room.
I should scarcely have remembered the
circumstances or the personage who seem
ed to have impressed Harry so strongly,
but for the appearance of the little old
woman again at the table two or three
days afterwards. This time, I was deter
mined to watch her; it was in the after
noon, rather dusk, but before the tables
were lighted.
She had an umbrella, on which she
leaned with a limpinn. °
gait, the old bon
net, and a large dark shawl. She went
straight up to the table, and without hesi
tation placed a double Frederick d'or on a
single number-1 think it was three. I
looked at her as the table turned ; her
hands were tightly clasped, her neck
stretched out. The umbrella on which
she leaned for a walking-stick had fallen
down, and she did not seem aware of it.
" Elle ne tourne plus—trois !" said the
croupier. The little witch had won thirty-
Six double Fredericks.
She gave an unmistakeable shout of ec
stacy. "0 beautiful !" said a clear, shrill
voice, and she snatched up the gold pieces,
and actually ran out of the saloon. I
turned to follow, but she disappeared,
leaving. the umbrella on the floor. I
picked it up, thinking it might lead to
sonic acquaintance with the mysterious
little person.
My invalid had become worse, and I
Iwas much taken up with him, and did not
go to the Cursaal for some days. Sitting
one afternoon in the garden with him, we
were listlessly watching some children,
both German and English, engaged in a
game, of hide-and-seek, chasing each other
round the trees. A little girl, whose re
markably graceful movements had caught
my attention, suddenly exclaimed, with a
laugh and a shout: " 0 beautiful !"
The voice was identical—l could not
mistake it—with that of the little old wo
man of the Cursaal. I was determined to
be convinced of thefha, and when I again
looked at the perfectly childish creature
of eleven years old, I could not believe
her to be the same. I roSrfrom my seat
as she came near, but was rather puzzled
how to accost her. I have an odd sort of
shyness with children, I feel so afraid of
encountering either of the two extremes
of shyness or pertness. At last I be
thought me of the umbrella.
"Stop, my little lady," said I, very
timidly. She looked round wondering.
and with the softest blue eyes in t
world. "Have you not lost sonaethkg
lately, the other evening in the Omuta'?"
Poor little thing! all her fun and frolic
were gone. She blushed and hung her
head and I saw the ready childish tears
swelling under her eyelids.
" I don't know, I"—she murmured ;
and I felt so guilty in tempting her to an
untruth, that I said at once: " You drop-
ped your umbrella when you were dressed !
up the other evening."
She came quite close up to me ; all her
shyness was gone. "0 sir," she said, "if
you have found me out, don't tell upon
me pray, don't. Never mind the um
brella; and, sir, if you should see me
again, so, dressed like wield woman, don't
take any notice ?"
" But t my dear little girl, or my dear
old lady, I cannot promise anything, be
cause lam sure I should laugh. What
can be the reason of such a disguise ?"
She had not the shadow of a smile as
she answered : " I cannot and may not
tell you : and perhaps I was wrong not to
say at once, ' No it was not my umbrella' •
—and yet that would be a story. It is
so hard to know what is right, isn't it, sir,
sometimes?"
Her companions here came to call her
to play, but she said in Gorman—which
she spoke like a native—" No I must go
home now." Then turning to me with a
sort Of involuntary confidence, she said:
" There is nobody but me now to attend
to poor papa, and it was very wrong in
deed of me to stay playing. hero."
" I wish," said I, "you would tell me
something more of yourself ; I might help
you, perhaps, and your papa too.
S'oe shook her head sadly. "'I dare
not," she said. " kt,would vex him so
.much that ho might die. We don't want
anything now—just now, I mean • only,
if you see me again there, don't tell any,
body; for, you know"—this she said in a.
whisper—" they won't lot children play."
She went away out' 'the garden with
a sedate step, and her face, thin and pale
when not animated, had lost its childish
expression. I watched her, and longed
to follow and know what the mystery was.
She stopped, and looked back hesitating,
and I instantly joined her. "Shall I
send your umbrella," said I, "or bring it
you here to-morrow ?"
".Never mind that," she - said. "If
you will only tell me .where you live—l
may—l don't know; but papa won't let
anybody come, and we may-0 sir, we
may want a friend!" She Initat into
tears, and then with an effort to repress
'her sobs, said "Tell me Where you live?"
I readily gavolter,my card, and pressed
her slight little hand as she . ran away,
A few' days after that, in the Cursaal,
again..sa,w the strange little figure. I Went
and stood rippositA to her, but I believe
she did not see me. She had, as before,

CARLISLE, PA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4„ 1861.
" 0 sir, 0 sir," she sobbed, "that cruel
man ?" Then a sudden ids seized her ;
she sprang up. " Don't you think, for
once, only once, he would Rva me back a
little money, and let me tryegain ?"
" I think not," I said. • " how Is it
that you do this, and know so little? Tell
me all, and let me perhaps help you."
She looked wistfully in my face. "-If
you would lend me a Frederick d'or, I
should be sure to win this time."
"I will lend it to you," I said, "but
not to play—take it home."
She hung back and blushed. " I dare
not—l cannot go home." Then she burst
into a passion of sobs, exclaiming: " 0
no; papa would die; it would kill him to
see me come twine with. nothing—all
!lost!"
" Let me go home with,You," said I.
" I am a doctor ; if your father is ill, I
may he of use to him."
She hesitated, and thenpvith a sudden
resolution, took my hand, and led me on.
It was a turning not far frop. the Cursaal,
down a lane, and into a yard, where there
was a stand of donkeys of ono end, and a
washerwoman at the other., The door of
a mean house stood open, and my little
guide asked me to stop at die foot of the
stairs, while she first went up to her fath
er. I watched her light 04 and saw her
open a door very cautiously ; then a shriek
of alarm and" horror rang' through the
house, and I waited no further summons
to rush to the room.
The sight that presented itself was in-1
deed appalling : on the bed lay a man ap-j
parently lifeless, the pillow and the sheets
covered with blood. I immediately raised
his head, and found the bleeding proceed
ed from the mouth and nose—he had a'
bro'len blood-vessel. The shrieks of the
child had brought more assistance than
enough, and by dismissing sots'', and
making use of others, .1 succeeded at last
in restoring consciousness to the invalid,
and calmness to his poor little daughter.
While applying remedies, I was obliged
to stop every attempt to speak on the part
of the patient; but he smiled at Alice,
whose every faculty seemed• absorbed in
watching him, and turned, his eyes to
wards the table by the side of the
On the table were a pack of cards and a
pair of much-used dice, a note-book to
prick the numbers, and another with a
pencil by its side, and filled with calcula
tions. The man's face was haggard and
emaeiated, evidently in the last stages of
consumption, but of finely chiseled fea
otures ' • his hands also were delicately
i iSrmed. lie was making efforts to speak,
and tried to point still to the table, when
Alice's quick eye fell on a letter which he
must have received her inlbsencn. She
held it out to him. I sal') the hectic
mount to his cheek; and with a flash of
.the eye and a violent effort to raise him-
self and to seize it, he exclaimed : "Thank
God! I have not ruined my little Alice.
It's all her luck ; and she deserves it all."
The effort brought on a return of the
bleeding • he . fell buck exhausted, and
never spoke again.
The letter, whose perusal had so strong
]y affected him, proved to be the announce
ment of a considerable fortune, which had
been long in litigation, having been ad-
judged to him, and at his death, to his
daughter Alice. His name and family
were discovered by this and other papers.
The rest we could only guess; his fatal
propensity to gambling, his illness, and
his sending his child, when unable to go
to the table himself—living thus, by what
he had called her wonderful luck, some
times on the verge of starvation ; an I the
end of the feverish fitful life coming as I
have said.
Poor, desolate little Alice did not now
want friends; aunts and cousins who had
ignored her existence, and avoided her
gambling father, now disputed with each
other so violently ber'bringing up, that
she stood a chance of being torn up by the
roots altogether.
I did not lose sight of bor ; and when,
many yearsnfter, I met the graceful, some

a shade of
,melancholy—she bad never
forgotten her friend, the doctor of Bad-
Schlossenbourg.

A WARD SEES PRINCE NAPOLEON.
"Ntottritlistandin I habit writ much for the
papers of late, nobody, needn't flatter their
selves that the undersined is dod. .On the
contrary, "I still live," which was spoken by
Danyil Webster, who was a able man. Bien
the old-line wigs of Boston will admit that.
Webster is dod now, howsever, and his man

The rigiment of whom I was kernel finerly
concluded they was better adayted as' Home
Garde, which accounts for your not Imam of
me, ear this, where the hauls is the thickest
and where the cannon doth roar. But as a
American citizen I shall never cease to admire
the masterly advance our troops made on
Washinton from Bull Run, a short time ago.
It was well dun. I spoke to my wife 'bout it,
at the time. Idy wife sed it was well dun.
It havin there 4 bin determined to perteet
Baldineville at all hazzude, and as there was
no apprehensbuns of any immejit danger, I
thought 1-would go orf onto a pleasure tower.
Accordinly I put on a clean Bile& Shirt and
started for Washinton. I went there to see
the Prints Napoleon, and not to see the place,
which I will hero take occasion 'to observe is
as uninterostin a place as there is on this side
of J. Davis' futer home, if he ever does die,
and where I reckon they'll make it so warm
that hb will si for his summer close. It is
easy enuff to see why a man goes to the poor
house or the penitentiary. It's becaws he
can't help it. But why he should voluntarily
go and live in Washinton is intirely beyond
my comprehension, and I oan't Bay no fairer
nor that.
I put up to a leadln hotel. I saw the land
lord and sed, "How d'ye do, Square?"
" Fifty cents, sir," was the reply.
" Sir ?"
We charge twenty-five
cents for looken at the landlord and fifty cents
for speakin to him. If you want supper, a
boy will show you to the dinin room for twenty
five cents. Your room bein in the tenth story,
it will cost you a dollar to; be shown up there."
" How much do you as a man for breathin
in this equinomikal tavurn ?" Bed I. ,
" Ten cents a Broth . ," was the reply.
Washington hotels is very reasonable in
their charges. [N. D.—This is Sarkassum.]
I sent up my keord to the Prints, and was
immejitly ushered before him. Ho received
me kindly and axed me to sit down.
" I have cum to pay my respects to you Mis
ter Napoleon, hopin I see you hale and harty."
"I am quite well," he sad. "Air you well,
sir?"
"Sound as a cuss!" I answered.
He seemed to be pleased with my ways, and
we entered into conversation at onct.
" How's Lewis?" I axed, and ho sed the
Emperor was well. Eugeny was likewise well,
ho sed. - Then I axed him was Lewis a good
provider? did he cum home arly nights? did
he perfoom her bed-room at a onseasonable
hour with gin and tansy ? Did he go to "the
Lodge" on nites when there wasn't any Lodge?
did he often hay to go down town to meet a
friend? did he hay a extensiv acquaintance
among poor widders whose husbans was in
Californy ? to all of which questions the Prints
perlitely replide, givin, me to understan that
the Emperor was behrin well.
"I ax these questions, my royal duke and
most noble highness and imperials, becaws I'm
anxious to know how he stands as a man. I
know he's smart. He is ounnin, he is long
heded, ho is deep—ho is grate. But onless ho
is good he'll come down with a crash one of
these days, and the Bonyparts will be Bustid
up agin. Bet yer life."
"Air you a preacher, sir?" he inquired,
slitely sarkastical.
"No, sir; But I bleeve in morality. I like
wise bleeve in Meetin, Houses. Show me a
place where there isn't any Meetin Houses
and where preachers is never seen, and I'll
show you a place where old hats air stuffed
into broken winders, where the children air
dirty and ragged, where gates hay no hinges,
where the wimrnin air slipshod, antwhere
maps of the devil's "wild land" air painted

THE SUMMER. is Oven.—Wo can hardly
realize the fact, so short does the time seem
since buds mid blossoms, blue birds and li
lucs, welcomed the return of spring ; but the
summer is over, " done gone for the season,"
as the darkey says. The leaves . are still
green, and ample to afford grateful shade ;
but in a few days they wear a yellow tinge,
and will no longer be treated with their won
ted respect when pedestrians seek the sunny
aide of the street to travel.„ Although the
transition from summer to fall is so silent,
and occurs just at a time when the fruits of
the earth are so thick upon us, and naturally
should confine our thoughts to a channel
which would induce us, like Young, to
" take no note of time,
Savo by itt3 lose;"
yet we see the unerring shadow of coming
events—the steady tramp march of fall. We
feel it in the cool, invigorating breeze of
morning and evening—we see it in those do.

groups to the kitchen ceiling—we' see it in
the diminishing length of the days; but we

Reader, go down to the bank of the river,
and you will receive an admonishing lesson
of the flight of time. The blue river rolls on
quietly and majestically, as it did a hundred
years ago, and as it will do a hundred years
hence. The foliage of the trees are green,
apparently as, they were a month ago j but
on close inspection, you will detect a tinge—
a slight fade. Reflect how long it is since
you stood at the same place, and saw the
same trees putting forth the foliage now
about going to decay. Does it not seem but
as yesterday? Thus days, months and years
hurry by', and it will be long before we will
all be called upon "-hand in our chips"—the
game of life will close, and others will take
our places and shoulder our cares 'and anx
ieties, our troubles and our vexatious.

A PATRIOTIO LANDLADY, patronized by one
of our exchanges, in her desire to emulate the
generosity of city governments and other
corporations in continuing the wages of
absent soldiers, has given notice that if any
of her boarders wish to enlist, she will allow
their board to run right on, all the time they
are gone, the same as if they remaind. Can the
spirit of generous devotion to the interests-of
the country go any farther than this?—

A YOUNG MAN who applied at a recruiting
station in one of the far Western States for
enlistment, was asked "if be could sleep on
the point of a bayonet," when he promptly
replied by saving, "he could try it, as he had
often slept on a pint of whiskey, and the kind
used in Lisbon would kill farther than any
shooting-iron lee ever saw."
SIPPLES, one of the jolliest Members of
the craft, on being asked if he intended to
enlist, replied that he was the poorest hand
in the world to stop balls; he never touched
even a fish ball but it went through him.
His determination to stop at home is fixed.
