FIRST AND THIRD MARRIAGE.
"Thus you see my own Hortense, that I must
leave you. I shall provide an income of a hun
dred lonia fur your expenses Look forward
constantly to my return; sod when fortune again
smiles upon me. I shall coma bank nevi r again

The weeping wife could not be comforted It
vra- bard that no soon after her marriage, when
the world seemed so bright and gay, and when
wealth and fortune smiled so serene!) upon her
all should be swept away, and she left like a lone
widow to protect herself The husband wits al
most distracted with the thought of leaving her
His heart had been buuud up in, his beautiful
Hortense. She had been his idol from hiyboo.l
—the bright dream of his existence, sod *hen
he had attained the distinction of one of the user
chant princess of Montreal, he married her and
placed her in the very heart of luxury.
Misfortunes came on swift wings to the happy
pair One by one his possessions left him, mud
worse than that others were involved in his affairs
who were less able to lose than himself Ile
eou,d not look upon the ruin of those around him;
for he had a kind heart, and would not wrong
any one for the world. They that lost by bus
ill fortune admitted that Mr Valentin % . 4.1 a strict
ly honest man, and that is great prai..e from those
who are injured by a man's ill' luck. People
are too apt to call it dishonesty.
There was but a single bright spot before M.
Valentin. Australia gleamed up, warm and
golden; and with a delo•ration born of love to
his wife and justice to his credsigs, be secretly
emu arked for the lac lof promise. There was a

lonely and miserable, without friends or relaiivrs,

while listening to Eugene's impassioned entreat

dead and become his wife.

Still sbe hesitated. She truly believed in her
husband's death; for would he not have written
had he been living. Of the many letters she
bad written him, the many inquiries she had in
atituted, po answer could be obtained. No one
knew anything of Mr. Valentin.
In an hour of more than usual loneliness and
trouble, she whispered to herself, that, should
Eugene press his sail anew, she would (forwent

the heart of Montreal, was surrounded with trees

Two years of Almost unminglad bliss went by;
but the third year commenced with some alarm
for the health of Bugune. Twice had Hortense

her all the harder that she had not 'oh o° ed her•

It was hard to see him part with the mute
evidence of'his brief happiness. Beery Wiedow
where he bed sat with bet, every arbor where
he bad sat with her, every - arbor where they had
rested, every tree under whose shades they had
walked, or wbose trunk be had (served with her
name, all reoeived'a farewell loot.
"How can [ part With you, dearest!" be asked,
after his painful journey round the rooms and
the garden.
"Engeoe! do not name it," she said; "you
will break my heart."
"Hut you must hear it, Hortense. I cannot

tr- . 0 I._;tver leave this borne . Trust me, I will be
w.t ion in spirit., when the form is laid in the
earth: watching, guarding, if possible, speaking

It was his last night on earth. When the
morn broke, hie eyes were closed in the slumbers
pit death.
, Hortense wandered for months about her beau.
Wel home like a psrtnrbed spirit. There was
serli,itg that bad been touched by Eugene that
bad not a solemn and sacred aline in her eyes.
M Valentin bad been richly rewarded for his
enterprise. Gold had showered in upon him in
limner fibuloue profusion; and nn* he s-tious
ly thought erreturning home. Somewhat en.
trebled by his late illness, be was &trait with
dismay at being again prostrated, and to find
that big, disorder was the dreadful small pox
That he lived through this, was only because
his constitution wu so excellent that even this
enemy would not vanquish it. He did live, but
his owe mother could not have known him, so
deeply 'cured and disfigured had he become.—
With his first returning strength be set out for
home. Hortense ! Mnutreal ! were now the be
ginning and end of his aspirations. Oche thing
only marred his joy on the homeward route.—
Would Hiortense love the scarred and disfigured
face that looked at him from the little glass in
his cabin t Would she endure the long shaggy
beard by which he was enabled to cover a part
of the deep sears
He bad taken passage in an American vessel
bound for New York. He arrived safely, and
the next our saw him on his way to Montreal.
He bent! his course to the oeighborbrod where
Hortense! proposed .going after his departure
He inquired everywhere fur Manama Valentin.

the family door; and hither be turned his steps,
to see if haply some old friend of former days
might not have heard of her. Even the name
was unremembered, or pretended to be; and yet

A painful revulsion took plane in bis mind, and
he resolved, as all seemed to forget him, that be

visited the neighborhood of Hortense, read
‘i'Stanbury" on the door, and managed to secure
qie next lionie, which happened to be quite emp
ty, and having its garden adjoining hers The
next day he furnished it richly, brought a num
b, nf_tervaota, bought a fine carriage and horses,
d unit r the name of Richie settled down to
w tell at liis leisure the movements of his neigh
r Ito show all his private rooms on that
sioe of the house which overlooked hers.
The first rim^ that he saw her was iu the
g rden
She looked still handsome, but was very sad
a d pensive. He wondered if it was for his toss,
o her late hu.band ! He soon became ssitisfi,d
t at the led a very quiet and retired life that
4,. br,l littlo company and kept early hours.—
It was early spring, but be had plenty of cowers
and fruit ie the green house, and he tient 901110

and cub time with a selection that marked a
delicate taste. Hortense wu charmed with her
new neighbor whom she had not seen.
The fl were bad been sent several times, when
be added to them a request that he might call on
the lady. She returned a favorable answer, aud
under cover of the twilight hour, be found him
;self in the room witb Hortense. The sound of
hie voice filled her with indescribable 'emotion,
because it resembled that of her first husband ;
bat abe persuaded herself that it wu a fancy.—
She found her neighbor agreeable and attentive
He did not neglect any opportuoity of being
with her. They rode together, sung together,
and often his voice would thrill through the soul
or Hortense, like a remembered lay frum SAWS
far off land.
Insensibly she was becoming interested in
him. He had told her mask that was tree of
his pastilife ; end openly mourned some being
whom Ass said was •lost to hint.—he did not say
by death—bat•Hortgase saw it in that light.—
More and more tender grew tbeirinteroonree, for
the lady seemed utterly to disregard his soupy
until 4e was seemly surprised. sad certainly
not offended, at rewiring-an offer of hie hand.
She was alone iu the world; she had so one

tie. It was her own risk, and she accepted him;
frankly telling how well she bad loved him who
bad gone from her sight, and promising him that
she would try to love him as well.
M Valentin exulted greatly in this answer,
sod came near dissevering himself; but be bad
desired to delay it to a certain time, and be
ebeeked himself in time. The wedding-4Y was
appointed and everything was if readiness for
'the occasion. In exchanging gags, Hocken

,gave her It waa the very ring which M. Val

Mystery of the Goa* Tragedy.
The awful tragedy which convulsed the upper 1
part of the inwit a mouth or two since, has ail
oiled much inquiry respecting its probable cause. 1
We find a calm, lucid, and, we doubt not, per
feetly authentic statement of the matter in the
Advocate and Piasway Guardian, from which
the following is condensed:
It appears that young Gonldy's own mother
had died when ho was very young, and little is
said of her character and influence; but the tee,
timony is unanimous, that his stepmother had
tilled her'plaoe In the family, in the meet satin

enemies of the family, were all of a desirable

talents and mealy bearing, basing superior edu•
cations.' advantages and floe prospects in life—
in full possession of his reason—could have been
left to become a parricide, fratticide and sui—
cide, in a single hour?
The moral fabric that has been weaving in the
loom of life the peat year, may perhaps furnish
some solution to the strange problem. We learn
that daring the progress of the revival of last
winter, this youth was deeply convinced of his
list condition and seed of an interest in Christ.

A "KNOTTY" BUT 'NUL lIOBSB STORY.—A
very singular ciroumstance recently happened to
a ware owned by S Snow, gsq , of tbi4 village.
Mr Snow drove the mare to Mayville and bark,
remaining at the county seat over nigh - On
the return trip, Mr. 8. observed that the
. mare
drank but little when water was offered ber, and
appeared rather fatigued When put i n to the
stable, the ostler noticed that something was the
matter, and concluded that the mare lied taken
cold. Mr. 8. being called away from home fur
several days by the ilium of his brother, left
the mare in other care. Oa returning home, he
found the mare in a very bad condition, with her
throat mash swollen, and that she had not mean
while ate or drank scarcely anything. An etc
tempt was thee made to administer medicine by
elevating the mare's bead so that the liquid
would run down This proved abortive, having
only a strangling effect At this stage of affairs,
a large bunch oe the mare's throat manifested it
self by redden protrusion. Forcibly equecaing
this, the mare made a violent cough, and ejected
a hemlock (board) knot, about two inches long,
attached to which was a piece of the wood on its
side, also at least two inches long, giving to the
thing the appearanee of a cross. The hoot gave
out a very offensive odor, as though it,had been
imbedded in putrefying matter. The mare seem•
ing completely relieved, immediately set her
jaws to work with avidity to eating, to supply
the vaesecy ereabvi•by a fast of five days, and
has ever since been doing well.
The knot , was probably haul in some oats, at
Mayville. The mare had jut been taken from
pasture, and doubtless went rather greedily into
this favorite dish of the horse tribe then set be
fore her, with the knot carelessly 'broke in.—

is difficult to convey an idea of the pomp and

the cavalcade of an eastern prince than the tour
of a private individual.
"Everything," he himself says, "that could

"The ceiling of my apartment in nee-
Wry," be ad,is, "was gilded and paint the

aid ba sins of chased silver."
The kitchen in which his dinner was prepared
is thus described:—"d l stream of water flowed
through it, from which - were formed reservoirs
containing every kind of river-fish. On one aide
Were heaped up loads of game sod venison; on
the other side were vegetables and fruits in end
less variety. Beyond a long line of stores ex
tended a row of ovens, and close to them hillocks
of wheaten flour finer than snow, rocks of sugar,
jars of the purest oil, and pastry in various abun
dance." The dinner which followed these pre
parations was served iu a magnificent saloon,
covered with pietures p , and lighted up with a pro,
fusion of wax tapers to soonees of silver "The
banquet," ho adds, "consisted of rarities and
delicacies of every sewn from distant countries."
Confectionary and fruits awaited the party in a
room mill more sumptuous, where vessels of Goa
filigree, containing the rarest and most fragrant
spices, were handed round. Such was Beokford's
mode of life during this journey.
Returning at the oommenoement ref the pre'
sent century to bii native country, Beckford
again abandoned himself to the selfish enjoyment
of his wealth. Taking a capricious dislike to a
splendid mansion on his estate, which had been
es t ec s o d, by his father, at a coat of 1111,800,000, be
ordered it to be pillnd down. Ele re;olved that
phmutx like, there should arise from ita ruins a
building which should surpass in magnific.•oce
all that hitherto had been known in English
art. Foothill Abbek, once one of the wonders
of the West of Emglertd, was the result of this
determination Whole galleries of that vast pile
were erected, solely for the purpose of enabling
liwklord to emblazon on their windows the crests
of the families from whom he boasted his des
ceut:i The wonder of the fabric, however, was
a towerof colossal dimensions and great height,
erected somewhat in the manner and spirit of
those who once reared a similar structure on the
plains of Shfnar: "Go to, let uR build us a
tower whose top may reach unto heaven; and let
us make us a natne.'-',
To complete the erection of Bedford's tower,
almost every cart the country seas employed,
so that at one time agriculittral labor was well
nigh suspended. Impatient of delay, night was
not allowed to impose obstacles th the progress
of the work. Torch.fight was etaiployesf; fresh
bands of laborers relieving at evening those who
worked by day. In the dark nights of winter,
the distant traveller was startled by the blase of
light from Fontbill, which proclaimed at onus.`
the resources and the folly of the matt of wealth.
Bedford's enjoyment was watching
the erection of this structure At nightfall be
would repair to some et:vateti at tof las groutpls,
and there in solitude would feast, his senses for
hours with the singular nip mete presented by
th e dancing of the lights, acei the rcfl-ction o f
their glare on the surrounitiog wood. The build ,
ing was indeed Bockftittl's idol; the object for
which he livid tie devoted the whole of his
energies to make it realize the to ,t fascinating
visions of a vain imaginatiou.
After the completion of the abb. y, ord's
conduct was still more extraordinary. A wall,
nearly Cwt , woes in eireutut•reuce, surrounded
his mansion, and within this circle scarcely any
visitors were allowed to pass. In sullen grandeur
he dwelt alone, shunning converse with the world
around. Majesty itself was desirous of visiting
this wonderful dourain, but W. 19 refused adtnits
Canoe. Strangers weuid disguise themselves as
servants, as peasants, or as pedlars, in the hope
of eatolliog a gill:apse of its glories. Nor was ItE
interior unworthy of this curiosity All that art
and wealth could give, to produce effect, were
there. "Gold and silver vases and cups," says
one who saw the place, "are so numerous here
that they dazzle the eye; and when one looks
round at the cabinets, candelabras, and erns.

imagine that we stand in the treasury of some

moral of the vanity ofhumati pursuits. He fell,
it is said, unpitied by any. The tower which he
had erected at so great a cost fell to the ground,
and Foothill Abbey was pulled down by its new
owner.

Nor is it possible to wield an engine so eom

a democratic institution in its feature, labor and

in the mind that directs, and in the judgment
and taste that pstroeize it. It is an element in
the social and political government—representa
