A c.t!..u, pure, vutniner moonlight fell
upon the Ayrshire mos:.es and deans, but
did not silver, as far as we are concerned,
the Carr . ick Castle cf Bruce, nor Canner
on's lair amidst the heather, nor landward
Tintock, nor even sea girt Ailsa Craig,
but only the rolling waves of the Athanric
and a grey tutreted mansion-house built
on a promontory running abruptly into
the water. The dint ivory light illumi
nated a gay company met in the dwelling
with little thought of stillness or solemni
ty, but with their own sense of effect,
grouped carelessly but gracefully in an
old fashioned but not unsuitable drawing
room.
They needed relief, these brilliant suE•-
pie figures; they demanded the back-
ground of grey hangings, scant carpet
pindle-legged chairs, hard sombre prints.
To these very cultivated, very artificial
and picturesque personages, a family sit
ting-room was but a stage, its scenery o
minor importance, where lively, capricious.
yet calculatin g actors were engaged in
playing their several parts.
The party was mostl N French, from Lb
mass ef g ;inapt, daunt], ss emigrants, many
of whom, were thus entertail ed with grate
ful, commiserating hospitality in house
holds whose members had but lately bask.
ed i the sparkling geniality of the south
ern atmosphere now lurid and surcharged
with thunder
There was a Marquise, worldly, light,
lrol vain, whom athersily had not broken,
and could nut sour. An Abbe, bland and
double but penile and kindly in his way;
a soldier, volatile, hot.) curled, brave as a
lion, simple as a child ; an older 1117111,
sad, sneering, indifferent to this world
and the next, but with the wrecks of a
noble head, and, God help him, a noble
heart.
Of the three individuals present of a
different nation an.,l creed, two closely re
sembled the others with only that vague,
impalpable, but perceptible distinction of
these whose rearing affords a superficial
growth which overspreads but does not
annihilate the original plant. The one
was a young man, rtroyarit, flippant, and
reckless as the Er-eneh soldier, but with a
bold defiance in his tone all his own ; the
other, a young girl, coquettish and viva
cious as the i‘larquise, but with a deep
consciousness under her feigning, an un
dercurrent of watchful pride and passion,
of which her model was destitute. The
last of the circle was a fair haired, broad•
shouldered lad, who stood apart from the
others, big, shy. silent—but how earnest
amid their shallowness, how noble • amid
their hollowness, how devoted amid their
fi•ibleness. flow he gazed on the arch,
haughty girl, with her lilies and roses,
her pencilled brows, her magnificent hair,
magnificiently arranged, her rich silk and
'airy lace, and muslin folded and gathered
and falling into lines which wore the poe
try of attire, unless where a piquant, pro
voking frill, band, or peak, reminded the
gazer that the princess was a woman, a
mocking, mischievous woman, as well• as
a radiant lady. How -- he - listened - to — liCT
contradictory words, witty and liquid in
their most worthless accents! bow he
drunk in her songs, the notes of her harp,
the rustle of her dress, the fall of her foot!
how be starred if Are mined I bovihe saw
her, though his eyes were on the ground,
though his' head was in hands, and she
marked him ceaselessly, half with a flut
ter and faintness which she resisted and
denied-- , -angrily, scornfully.o.

from the soldier, a sarcasm from the pbil
o:opher, a joyous barcarole, strangely sue
- ceeded by a snatch from that lament of
woe wrung forth by the fatal field of Flod
den, and the company dispersed, the
horse's hoofs of the singe stranger of the
evening ringing on the causeway, as he
made for the smooth sands of the bay, the
lights one by one leaping, out, and the
pale moon remaining mistress of Earls
craig as when the warder on port tower
peered out over the waters for the boats
of the savage Irish kern, or lit the bale
fire that summoned Montgomery and Muir
to ride and run for the love or the fear of
Boswell of Earlscraig.
Had these old-world times returned by
magic ? had a crazed serving man revived
the Vanished duties fif his warlike prede
cessor ? was the' wraith of seneschal or
man al-arms co n juring up a ghostly bea
con to stream into the soft air? was an
evil spirit about to bewilder and• mislead
a fated ship to meet its doom on the jag
ged rocks beneath-.the (lead calm of that
glassy sea ? So dense the vapour that sud
denly gathered over Earlscraig, till, like
it 11 electric flash, a jet of flame sprang
from a high casement and lit up the Bath
ering obscurity. No Flinn blew, no bugle
sounded, no tramp of horse or hurrying
feet broke the silence; the house lay in
rofound rest, the sleepers slept on.
though only that was no phantom glare
no marsh gl ain, but the 'near presence of
an awful foe.
And the smoke .burst forth in thicker,
moresuffocatingvulumes; the red streacn-
Cms shot up again and again, the burning
embers fell like thickest swarms of tire
flies, lief we a single hasty step roused
an echo already lost in the roar and
crackle of fire. A seared, half-dressed
i , ervant ran out into the court, flung up
his hands as he looked around him hur
rich' back, and suddenly the great bell
pealed out its thithful alarum n Good
folk, good folk. danger is at the door!
Vur Jesus' sake and your dear lives, up

The summons was not in vain. Wish
a few seconds clamorous outcries, shrie
of dismay, the dashing open of doors at
windows, answered the proclamation.
horror-struck crowd assembled rapidly
in the court; but notwithstanding that
the Abbe's wan Klee and shaven crown
appeared speedily, and the soldier shout

Down a flight of side steps tumbled
the butler and a favorite groom, bearing
between them the young laird, motion
less, senseless, his dress dishevelled, but
unscathed by flame, unstained by blood;
his marked, imperious features breath
ing, yet unconscious, heavy, and leth
argic.
The Abbe and his elder friend ex
changed glances. The brow of the latter
contracted in disguk, and gloom.
" Adolphe and he played billiards
against my desire, as if he were not, het ,
enough already," he said, in an under
tone. "Lay him here, my friendi," to the
servants, "and listen to me If you love
the Seigneur, let him never know that
thus it happened this night. Cover him
with a mantle; he will awake to see his
chateau a ruin. -1./or:s n'imporie, we will

Yes; at their feet, by a few fathoms
Unavailable, lay the broad seaNufficient
to extinguish the conflagration of a thou
sand cities, while dui house above was
rent with fierce heat, to which the sea
only reddened like blood, in sympathy
with the midnight sky.
The Marquise was rescued sobbing
and shivering, but sharing her blanket
with one of the poor servant girls; even
the old bed ridden nurse, so blind and
stupid with age that none could satisfy
her of the cause of the tumult and din,
was carried abroad and placed on the
grass terrace - beside - the - nraster; Where
'no sooner did she apprehend intuitively
the neighborhood of her proudly cherish
ed nursling, than she left off her weak
;Tailing, and began to croon over him as
'fondly and: contentedly as when he lay
an innocent babe in his cradle.
" Are you weary, Earlscraig Have
you come back sorely tired from the h'unt

in wild confusion. The moon was hid

a hot blast blew in men's faces, which
alone remained white and haggard, when
a murmur and, question, a doubt and
frenzy, first stirred and that convulsed the
mass, " Where was Miss Alice?" Ay,

her ? Speak, in God's name'.—shout

Carlisle, Pa., Friday, August 25, 1865
As already stated a large defalcation
was disnvered in the Phoenix Bank of
N. lurk city on ThursdaY week, and on
Friday two parties were arre,ted as the
perpetrators, and also a lewd woman and
a male issociate who had, it is alleged,
received much of the stolen mon'ey. The
telrer of the bank, named Jenkins, is the
defaulter in the ease to the amount, it is
ascertained, of about 8:300,000. and a

was arrested on Friday morning at
lus home, having jiht arrived honie,
and confessed to the robbery promptly,
and subsequently both him and Earie
were were committed to prison, where
the latter committed suicide during the
night by cutting his throat with a small
pocket knife The papers give the fol-
lowing details:
Earle made no denial of his einip'icity,
but at once proceeded with the police to
the bank. Ilcre, in presence of John
McKeon, Esq , andAhe bank officers, he
eura,fes•ed to having received $lOO.OOl
from JenkiV. The first money he re
ceived was $50;(700, which was supposed
to be the property of Jenkins' When
received the second $5O 000 he knew
it had been purloined front the bank.—
On being interrogated as to what h.,d
come of the money, Earle said it had all
been in vesk dand sunk in stocks Earle
was then taken and locked up in the. 29th
precinct station house. Acting upon in
firtnation received from Earle, officer
McCarty proceeded to No. 159 Bleecker
s'teet, and addressed a stylish looking
woman, calling herself' Mrs. Brown, but
wl'ose real name is Genevieve Brower.—
;She was Jenkin's mistress, and becom
ing conscious of his position and defalca
tions, she, it is alleged, worked upon Jen
kin's fears until she blackmailed him of

costly f urniture About-an hour aft©r the

helped her in her blackmail operations.
Previous to these arrests Earle bad been

and everything taken from hint. About
one o'clock Brown was put in a cell by
McCarty, who, at the same time, saw
Earle, and asked him 'Mu' he felt. Earle

Earl was a widower, his wife having died
about a year ago, and in the 31st year of
his age. lie was about 5 feiet 5 inches

manners. He was a member of the
Second Presbyterian Church, Newark,

at the sanctuary. His style of living
was not unusually extravagant, beyond
the owning of a " fast" horse, and his
taxable income last year was only $1,539.
Mr. Earl leaves one child—a boy about
six years of age.

Women as Travellers
It is a very small matter for John
Smith to take a journey of six or eight
hundred miles. He rushes home from
his counting room, office, or workshop,
fifteen minutes before the train leaves,
bids Mrs. S. put a clean shirt or two in
his valise, takes a cold luncheon, kisses
the children all round, and perhaps their
mother, strides to the station, goes in at
ono end just as the engina is puffing out
at the other, waits leisurely till the last
end of the last car is opposite him, throws
his valise on the platform, grasps the rail
ing, vaults lightly upon the steps, and
in a half minute is talking unconcernedly
with Mr. Jones, who has probably gone
through the same pet formance, during
the last half minute.
But if Mrs. John Smith wishes to pay
a ten days' visit to her mother, sixty
miles away, a fortnight is not too much
time to devote to preparations. Her ward
robe is to be thoroughly overhauled; dres
ses selected, bought, made , a dressmaker
consequently to be hunted up and engag
ged ; old skirts adjusted to new barques;
oollars mended, whitened and clear starch
ed ; Mr. Smith's shirts, stockings and
handkerchiefs placed where he can lay
his hands on them blind•folded, for no
Mr. Smith ever yet conceived the idea
of lifting up one thing to find another
under it ; the various strata of rucks being
tilted, the genius Smith seems to have
imbibed the opinion that bureau drawers
should be arranged on the same plan.
Then there are the children to beseen to,
the marketing to be arranged, Bridget to
be admcnished, and every thing in general
wound up to go ten days without stop
ping or derangement. Consequently,
win n the appointed morning comes, and
with it the appointed coach, Mrs. Smith
is not quite ready. With one cheek
flushed and no collar, she gives hurried
directions, ties up brown paper packages
with nervous, trembling fingers, which
packages no sooner receive tie final jerk
than they are discovered ta be bursting
out at both ends; scatters the young folks
hither and thither, running down all who
are not agile enough to get out of the way,
and is only restrained from scolding out
right by a dim vision of plunges down
embankments, butting against opposing
engines, splintered bridges flying axles,
arid life long separation from beloved ones
to which a rail road journey now-a-days
riluders one so fearful liable. At length
tlie last knot is tied, the last kiss is given,
and Mrs. Smith, anxiously looking at her
watch stumbles, over the hem of her
dress into the coach, beseeching the driv
er to hurry. lie politely says, " Yes"
but persistently drives " No." After
what she considers unnecessary delay,
she arrives at the station, hurries into the
ticket-office, tries to hurry open her
porte-monnaie, but as that is governed
by the Medo Persia laws of inertia and
attraction, it refuses to be hurried Hur
riedly she a.lts the ticket-master, " is the
train not gone ?" His loud, clear, de
liberate, " No, ma'ain," startles her, and
b; fore she recovers herself, he has gone
to the opposite window She waits her
turn again. How long before it goes r
" Twen-ty—min-utes—ma'-6111 " With
a sigh of mingled relief and weariness
she sinks upon a sofa. Time would fail
to follow Mrs. S. on her devious way— -
to note her anxious watching over "great
box, little box, band box and bundle ;"
her uncertainty as to which train she is
to take, and her incessant inquiries of
every man who approaches ; her intense
unrest that looks out of her eyes, quivers
on her lips, trembles in her hands and
flutters in every thread of her garments.—
All these things may only provoke a smile,
but Mrs. S. is tragically in earnest.
I have had no opportunities to observe
my sex in the transition state and I am
foreed to say that I do not think the fe
.male-traveller is always a pleasant object
of contemplation. She is never quite
freo,from anxiety or bundles, and is gen
erally pretty highly charged with both.—
She asks the conductor the same question
twice, as if she believed he might under=
go a moral reformation bet Ween the first
and second asking, and tell the truth at,
last, though he told a lie at first. Sweet
ly patient at home, sublimely patient in
great pain or peril, she is ludicrously im
patient on her travels. She can not wait
the march of events, but outstrips the
present, anticipates the future, and asks
the conductor " if we'Aange cars at B"
Trustful to a fault in the domestic circle,
she beco'mea a very skeptic in the cars,
and never believes lain] unless he says,
"Yes." ,When , announces at
" Passengers change cars for the East,"
she steps out with alacrity upon the plat•
form, and immediately asks him, "Do we
change gars here ?" Acute of vision, and
rapid in perception at home, abroad a
glamour seems„ to fall upon her.. The
time-table hangs upon the station-walls,
but, as if Gala' able, of' calculation, she
invariably asks th't ticket master at Ant
hour the trainis due ; and if it is five
miut es ; late,'she goes to him again, and
,asks him how long bofore it; will arrive,

How multitudinous are the dead ! How
populous the silent' cities where they
dwell I Close, but peaceful they rest,
under shafts and spires of 'marble, or r4r
chance without even the rudest memorial
to the activities they once bore, the pouips
they once displayed. Two hundred
times more than all the generation of the
living, encamped out there in church yard,
cemetery, and by the way side. Myriad
millions, obeisant to the awful shade, the
grim spectre who rides the pale horse.
Ceaseless migration from the halls of
life—the great, the proud, the rich,
the poor, the bond, the free; brothers
and sisters all, with ono God for their
NO, 34
common father, one earth for their sep

history, what romance, what tragedy,
what secrets and mysteries are locked up
with them in the grave.
And how soon, too, shall we all march
down thither, " where the wicked cease
from troubling and the weary are at rest ;"
d)wn thither where the sleep is dreamless,
until the great day when the trumpet shall
sound, bidding the nations of the dead to

as ran the record of their lives, belt ours
to reverence their du , t—God will judge
thew : God, who is the searcher of our
hearts, and who is wiser, and more mer
ciful than man.
Verily, it is not well for us to be thought
less of the dead. What they were, and
what they have done and said, concern
us every hour. Their example guides,
their precedent governs, their wisdom di
rects, their thoughts inspire, their labor
blesses, and their riches enrich us Beni-
eon to the dead, and way the good God
so shape our lives, that when the time
comes, we may lie down, obscure it may

THE LAUOII ur• \VOMAN.-A woman
has no natural gift more bewitching than
a sweet laugh It is like the sound of
flutes on the water. It leads from her
in a clear, sparkling rill; and the heart
that hears it feels as if bathed in the cool,
exhilerating spring. Have you ever
pursued an unseen fugitive through the
trees, led on by a fairy laugh—now here,
now there, now lost, now found ? We
have ; and we are pursuing that wander-
ing voice to this day. Sometimes it
comes to us in the midst of care, o r sor
row, or irksome- business; and then we
turn away arid listen, and hear it ringing
through the rooms like a silver bell, with
power to scare away the evil spirits of
the mind. how much we owe to that
sweet laugh ! It turns the prose to poe
try ; shifting showers of sunshine over
the darkness 01 the wood in which we
arc travelling; it touches with light even
our sleep, which is no wore the image of
death, but is consumed with dreams that
arc the shadows of immortality.
