When Bromley reminded him of the old
scrape his face fell. The look of contentment
and happiness left it. Eft was silent for a mo

"I will have nothing to do with it."
~N ousen,e, Stevens You will do it. It is

And be told him all the circumstances and
his plan Stevens listened, and his eyes opened
widor and wider, until, when he named Emily
Carlton, his eyes shut with a snab so quick they
could almost have been heard Stevens now seem
ed to enter fully into his plans, and they arranged
the minutiae without difficulty.
The next week was 6xed for the accomplish
ment
On the appointed morning Stevens was to
present himself at the school as a messenger
from the city with intelligence of the severe ill
ness of Irst Carlton, and a request for the im
mediate attendance of the daughter. He was to
convoy her by carnage to the river, where they
would take the steamer for New York, and Brom
ley would join them the same evening at a place
robe appointed by Stevens. Everything promised
•ucc(is, and the clergyman whom Stevens was
to furnish would perform his work, consent or no
consent
tho drawing room oi an elegant residence
in the city, at about nine o'clock of a winter
evening, an old gentleman sat alone, looking
into a splendid fire, manifestly absorbed in deep
thought.
Before him fwept the shadows and shapes of
nearly seventy years, and he did honor to them,
more or less SA they severally demanded it.—
Sometimes his face grew dark and clouded,

The coolness of the villain returned after a
moments pause, and he prepared to confront his
accusers.

Bromley "
"Doubtless I have cause, since you have seen

"Thank (;sad, I say."

"What crime might that be? Has it a

ERIE, SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 15,1855,
his lips, drove bark the foul word to the heart
that origina it.
"Have a care how you bandy harsh words here,
Mr. Bromley."
"This from you, Sternal D—e you, Sir,
what do you mean by striking me?"
';Because you choose to basalt me."
"I insult you: how, pray"
"By hinting that I did nut marry you to Mies
Cameron."
"1 never bad a doubt of it What the d—l
have you, of all men, to object to my calling her
a—,l •
"Stop! Speak the word and I'll kill you!
Curse you, John Bromley; I've owed you one
some time, and I've paid it now, I'll have you
know I'm a priest, Sir—a priest, by Jupiter!
and if you doubt, I'll begin by shosing you that
I belong to the church militant anyhow. They've
a trick in this State of proving a man married
who only says he is, in any body's presence; but
you were married body and soul, if there's any
virtue in a oerconony performed by a clergyman
in good and regular standing, if he does drink
a little too much now and then."
The news was astonishing to Bromley. He
oould not doubt it, and his quick mind saw at
once all the bearings of his case.
"A pretty lawyer you are, Judge Cameron,
to commence a snit in partition, in the name of
a grantee of my wife, without my concurrence-"
"Not so fast, Mr. Bromley. 'Your wife con
veyed her rights to her father long before she
eloped with you. You perhaps do not recollect
that the old suit was begun in my name."
"Very well, very well; I am not wanted here.
But I must beg you to excuse me if I request
my daughter to accompany toe home this even
ing. I have been deprived of her company so
long, that I shall hardly be able to spare
her."
"Ask her husband."
"Of course he need nut ask," said Frederick
Bromley entering. "I would as soon trust her
with a tiger.
"By whose sanction do you claim a right to
her hand, young man? I fancy a writ of habeas
corpus will bring some of you people to your
senses."
"I fancy a marriage with the consent of a
mother who has for seventeen years been sole
guardian of her child, will stand against all your
writs, John Bromle
The baffled man left the house. But an offi
cer was waiting at the door to arrest him for a
dozen frauds in his transactions with his cous
ins, and be passed the night in as dirty-a cell as
the keeper of the city prison txmld be bribed to
put him in.
It would be plea..ant to end this imitative
with relating the restoration of the defeated
villain to a position of honor and of self-respect
But that may not be. knitted in fortune and
character, the mercy of his tormentors never led
to forgive Lim in one small particular, but
they exacted atonement to the uttermost of the

romninno of John Bromley.
One of the Reporters of the Bulletin furnishes
the following - -
Going to IVilmington the other day in the
cars, we saw 3 rather singular looking individual,
somewhat stout, rather carelessly dresaed, and
with a straw bat pressed down over his eyes; he
was also distiuguethed by :tn imperturable and
apparently taeituru sort of look A quiet, rath
er fat, inoff reeve looking old gentleman who was
sitting nenr b u n, happened to mention the Cat
tawimsa Railroad, when our imperturable friend
suddenly raising his straw hat, hanging it on the
corner of hi, head, and looking the old geoleman
straight in the eye-, thus spoke:
"Catterwisser' !lave ye ever travelled on the
Catterwiseer roa,i'" "No, sir!" said the old gen
tleman, looking rather surprised. "Don't then"
said he, "if you believe in a hereafter--don't do
it unless your life's injured—if I was Agent of a
Life Insurance Company, I'd put into every poli
cy, that every man who travelled on the Catter
wisser road should pay five per cent. extra ....
Did ye ever see the Catterwiseerl" "No sir,"
said the old gentleman.
"Well, I'll tell ye how it is; they've gethered
up all the sharp curves, and long bridges and
high trestle work, and steep grades on all the
roads in the United States as an ill-um tea-tion of
what a rail-road kin be; but there's one edvau•
tage about the Catterwiseer, there's a sem' of
bellrope, it winds round jest like a snake, and
when the Contlurtor wants to speak to the En
gineer, he just gilt's out to the hind e'end of the
car, and that jest brings him where he kin shake
hands with the Engineer, always. Yes sir-ree,
there never was anything like them curves—
there's a place on the Catterwiseer they call
Ringtown, because the road after describing a
circle comes around to the same place I
woe goin' on it the other day, when we came to
that ar' place I seed an engine comin' smack in
to the hind car I thought it belonged to
another train, but it turned out to be the loco
motive of our train comin' round like a cat after
its own tail, and the difficulty wee' that they'd
put on so long a train that it went round the hull
ring, and nothin' saved us but reversin' the en
gine . .... There is one otheradrantage, stranger,
in the Catterwiseer ye never need a doc
tor, they bridge right up the mountains, nsin'
the little one's for 'butments, and the only level
place is right on top of the mountain, so if ye do
run off the track, yer smashed up so that one
man can't be told from another."
He here paused a minute, and a gentleman

Have you Ater observed what a dislike 'emote
have to anything cheap? They hate saving their

consideration, and I founi reason to suspect we
were using a very expensive article where a

A Bich Old Uncle and a Bilious Fever
BY OUR FAMILY PHYSICIAN

Linda Ray was scarce seventeen. Beautiful
,as all heroines are. But
as an hoari, of course
more than this Linda had a mind and a heart of
goodness, as well as personal beauty.
She was the brightest scholar of Mrs. —'s
seminary, was the joy of her father, the pride of
her mother, the go-between and the confidant of
a score of little Rays—her noisy young
brood of brothers—and the friend and consoler
of all the poor distressed who came within her
knowledge.
Linda was "engaged" to young Slocum, an
embryo lawyer of fashion and of some talent,
who had only the slender income of his pro
fession to depend upon, but which, added to the
modest little fortune of Linda, would enable the
young couple to live quite comfortable '
It is now in the fitful month of April. The
following June was to witness the bridal of Linda
and her lawyer-lover, upon which the happy pair
were to start for the "Springs."
Liuda looked magnificently on horseback, and
on this April morning, indulging in her favorite
exercise, she was sitting like the queen of beauty,
glowing with freshness and radiant with joy upon
the back of her matchless bay—the inoeit
ing and graceful piece of horseflesh to be lighted
on by a fond indulgent parent.
Young Flocum was by her side, and was de.i.
canting upon the beauty of the morning and the
beauty of the "morning queen," when suddenly
the latter sped from his sight like the morning's
breeze. Linda's "bay" had taken fright, and was
flying with its mistress through the. air, se•aree
touching the paving stones,at a fearful speed.—
"She will certainly be thrown and killed!" and
Slocum's beart as he exclaimed thus—or the piace
where his heart should have been--beat with a
feeling akin to despair.
When, however, Slocum arrived some three or
four wiles farther, toward the edge of the city,
I scene met his view that caJled up other emo
tions than those of pleasure at the safety of his
beloved.
Linda was seated upon the turf, reclining
against the trunk of a tree. .1 tall, handq,,mm
stranger was bending over her, laving her brow
with water and pouring the magnetism of his warm
life into her fainting energies.
The look—the strange mysterious look —th.tt
of soul rtwoguizing soul, which passed betwcen
them when Linda opened her eyes full upon him,
haunted rang Slocum like a dimigrreeble night
mare for months after.
The next day, the tall, handsome stranger cal
led upon the lovely girl he had rescued from
tain death, to enquire after her health.
Somele.w nr other it was full three hours -
fore the was concluded Time had passed so
pleasautl to that easy flow of thought and senti
ment, wh. re -oul met its kindred that both were
siirpris...l at it, rapid flight.
Again and again they met, always talking as
though they had been friends forever, so uncon
strained and easy was the interchange between
them. I t generally happened, too, by some strange
chance, that Slocum was either out on some ti-h
-it% excursion, or something of the sort, whenever
the tall, handsome stranger called nricin the bride
elect.
The middle of May arrived. The wedding day
was drawing more and wore near. In a maze of
bewildertu. ut she young bethrothed awakened as
from a .11. H. ti dream.
I lace him well enough to become his
wife?' :vdzed she of her own heart.
Alas: a deeper depth had been sounded in that
young heart. A deeper depth than the shallow
line of the groom elect could hope to sound.
But the spirit had taught her—her own
heart—that had taught her the meaning of the
word love—the tall and handsome stranger—
he had gone as suddenly as he came. Busi
ness had called him to a distant country and
True he had never apol:Pn of love, but when
he was gone, Linda had found to her dismal
that he had taken her heart with him, and
that Slocum seemed to her now nothing more
than a sort of automaton man, brainless and
heartless
"But I will be true to honor and my promise,"
said the courageous Linda, resolutely. "I marry
him sod make him& true wife. I will bury my
own heart and its lore, and perform my duty
faithfully."
Alas! Ali.s! "There is many a slip betwixt
the cup and the lip."
A rich old uncle of the portionless Slocum
suddenly arrived from the "golden East," sought
his nephew, made his will, and Slocum, the al
most brieflees lawyer, awoke in the morning a
rich man.
His uncle scouted at the idea of his wedding
the fair Linda, with her very moderate fortune,
telling him that such a handsome, accomplished,
and wealthy fellow as he (Slocum) could pick a
millionaire heiress off from almost every bush.
His kind uncle bid him travel and choose from
any of the aristocratic and wealthy beauties of
E lated with his sudden fortune, puffed up with
personal vanity, Blooms followed his uncle's ad
vies, setting sail with a high heart to cross the
ocean for Karope and success.
He dropped a careless note to his beloved,
telling her of his determination to travel sad to
leave her free.
Somehow or other, Kociam's remittances from
his uncle did not arrive u he had reason to ca
pon, and he had not such sooner crossed the
Atlantic than he re-wowed it.
What was his dismay upon arriving home,
when he found his quondam beide elect had sau
na his rich old gaoled that the "will" had been
meads, that ha (Stoma) was not sli *Asa
even s shilling—ate will being made in favor of
Linda and her successors.
This discovery was maddening, but worm
than all, the rich old uncle had thrown sway his
ugly wig, and the hump on his back, and his
wooden leg, and he stood up as Linda's youthful
bridegroom—the tall, handr>me stranger! He
bad once rescued her from death.
It was a pleasant ruse—to those who enjoyed
the sport—but it threw poor Sloctust into a bil
lious fever which nearly terminated his life which
aLso put m& in possession of the above little epi
sode,.l being the physician who carried him
over the bridge of sickness to the terra tirtna of
Health.

HAPPY FA MILI ES. —A house inhabited by a
man and woman linked together merely by the
marriage tie, is not a house. The mere obliga
tion to appear as a man and wife to the world,
does not necessarily imply that they are a happy
couple. Other obligations, some moral, some
spiritual, and a higher testament than strict ob
servance to the letter of the marriage law are es
sential in making a dwelling a home. The heart
must be interested; it must feel as a bean should
feel, generous emotions, reined manners, a nice
delicacy, sad a tenderness which only manifests
itself to gather fresh strength, should all min
gle with the sense of duty, and deference to one
another's peculiarities, in order to render the
fire side of maid life bright and eheerful.

Self murder is a crime which all mem tepid
with horror. That a man should take his Ws
life, is not only I,..ontrary:to religion, but so shock
ing to nature, that we find it hard to believe that
one has done it in his right mind. The act it
self affords a strong presumption of insanit y,
and, therefore, as we stand over the body of a
poor, self murdered victim, instead of reproaches,
we feel rather distrised to pity and tears, as we
think of the probable suffering which preceded this
lagt, desperate attempt or relief. We imagine
the years of poverty and misfortune, or the de
oestic unhappiness, or the excruciating disease,
which tortured him to salines:, which crazed his
brain, and drove him in a p arox ysm of agony to
this fearful deed. These reflections forbid us to
aecu , e our unhappy brother We take up his
body and bear it to the grave in silence, and leave
his spirit with God
Against committing such an act men need no
persuasion, fur their natural love of life is more
powerful than any command of duty. They
shudder and recoil at the very thought, and to
reason with them against suicide seems needless,
as would be an entreaty addressed tsi every visi
tor to Niagara Falls, not to throw himseld over
the cataract
And yet there is a self murder, which is very
common, and which is far worse than this; a
suicide, not of the body, but of the soul When
a man loosens the silver cord of life, or breaks
the gulden bowl, he only abridges by a few short
years his continuance in the world. But he may
inflict upon himself a •uffenng which' shall far
outlast this peri , sl Ile may strike a wound to
the vital spiri), so that it may gasp and breathe
heavily for ages to come He may poison the
blood of the soul so that these spiritual veins
shall run tire. Ile may charge his brain with
black memories, that hall distill drop by drop
upon his wretched forever. Thu: he may des
troy his eternal happine ,, , and eommit murder
upon his soul
