Kiss me good bye, dear mother; I am dying!' That night she died, whispering : `Bury me by his side.' • A Strange Presentiment. About forty years ago, in-the western part of New - York, lived a lonely - wid ow mother. Her husband had been dead many years, and her only daugh ter was grown and married, living at a distance of a mile or two from the fam ily mansion. And thus the old lady lived alone day and' ight. Yet in her conscious inno cence and trust in Providence she felt safe and cheerful, did her work quietly during the daylight, .and at eventide slept sweetly. One morning,' however, she awoke with an extraordinary, and unwonted gloom upon her mind, which was irn pressed .with' the apprehension that something strange was about to happen to her or hers. So full was she of this thought that she could not stay at home that day, but must go abroad to give vent to it, unbosoming herself to her friends, espedially to her daughter.— With her she spent the greater part of the day, and to her several times repeat ed the recital of her apprehensions.— The daughter as often repeated the as surances that her good mother had nev er done injury to any person, and add ed, "I cannot think any one would hurt you, for you have not an enemy in the world. On her way home she called on a neighbor who lived in the last house before she reached her own. Here she again made known her continued ap prehensions' which had nearly ripened into fear, and from the lady of the man sion she received- answers similar to those of her daughter, " You have harmed no elle in your lifetime, surely nn onciwill molest you. Here, Rover," she said to a stout watch dog, that lay on the floor, " here, Rover go home with Mrs. Mozher, and take care of her. Rover did as he was told. The widow went home, milked her cows, took care of everything out of doors, and went to bed as usual. Rover had not left her for an instant. When she was fairly in bed he laid himself down upon the out side, iino o:the widow relied , iipen 410,640 , -milaer t hiTs "chid • horself, for, time iii the night "s awo e g startled, probably, by a = slight noise outside the 'house. It was so slight, however, that she was not aware of be ing stained at all, but heard, as soon as she awoke, a sound like the raising of a window near her bed, which was in a ,room on the ground floor. The dog neither barked nor moved.— Next, there) was another sound, as if some one was in the Own and stepped cautiously on the fibor. The woman saw nothing, but noNV,, for the firsttitne, felt the dog move, as he made a violent spring from the bed, and at the same moment something fell on the floor; sounding like a heavy log, Then fol lowed other noises, like the pawing of a dog's feet ; but soon all was still again, andlhe dog resumedis place on the bed without having baked or growled at all. `Phis time the widow did not go to sleep immediately', but lay awake, suff ering, yet not deeming it best to get up. But at last she dropped asleep, and when she awoke the sun was shining. She hastily stepped out of the bed, and there lay the body of a man, extended on the floor, dead,.with a large knife in his hand, which was even now extend ed. The dog bad seized him by the throat with a grasp of deatb, and neither man nor dog could utter a sound till all was over. Phis man was the widow's son in-law, the husband of her only daugh ter. He coveted her little store of wealth, her house, her cattle, and her land ; and'instigated by his sordid im patience, he could not wait for the. de cay of nature to give her property pp to him and his, as the only heirs apparent, but made this stealthy visit to do adeed of :darkness in the gloom of the night. A fearful retribution awaited him.— The widow's apprehensions, communi cated to her mind, and impressed upon her nerves by what unseen power we know not, the sympathy of the woman who loaned the dog, and the silent but certain watch of the dog himself, form ed a chain of events which brought the murderer's blood upon his own head, and which are difficult to be explained without reference to that Providence which numbers the hairs of our heads, watches the sparrow's fall, and "shapes our ends, rough-hew them as we will." —Harper's lVeekly. A STORY FROUPAnis.,-AParis letter tells the following story of a Twelfth Night fete in that city: A wealthy family in the aristocratic boulevard Malesherbes were amusing themselves in seeking the Knight's portion, of the ring in the festival cake, when a lady of the company says to the hostess: `I wish my portion to be given to the poorest little boy we can find hi the street.' The servant was dispatched on this freezing night, and not fir from the house lie found a ragged urchin, trem bling with cold and hunger. - He brought him up, was ordered into the saloon, where a thousand lights glit tered, and a sparkling. lire gladened and surprised him. He drew his portion the benevolent lady had promised, and as luck would have it, the little fellow found the "ring". . (beans they use in Paris instead), and, of course he was "King." They all shouted out that, being a Bing he must choose a Queen. lie was asked so to do, and looking round the company, he chose the very lady who proposed to cede her 'portion of the cake. He was asked why, he chose her. He said : ilon't know ! she looks the mos like mother! 'Mother! whose mother?' , `My mother! I never knew her, but was stolen away from her, and here is her portrait!' With thiti he drew from out his rag ged coat a likeness which proved to bp that of the very Im,ly herself, who, in Italy, had her child stolen from her, and now he turns up a poor' little rag ged Savoyard, dragging along a miser able existence in Paris, while his moth er, by all intuition, perhaps, felt that in the air near to where she was was one so hear to her.

An ]Extraordinary Will Cash. - In April last, Robert Watson,'a well known colored man, died in this city, aged seventy-one years. He began life as a house seVvat, and could beither:!* read nor write. At the time of his", death he owned eight houses and ' over $lOO,OOO in persmial •property. At .the time of his death it. Was supposed that ho left ne will. Soon. after, however, two persons named Eunice Watson and Anna Watson, *seated what purport ed to be the last will and testament of the deceased, bequeathing to them all his property, . and claiming to be the deceased's wife and daughter. In the meantime, Alderman Graves, of Pough keepsie, who has in. his employ a color ed man named Albert Watson, read the article in the paper, - and thereupon in qui.* of , Albert Watson in relation to his past life. Alberta mother, an aged colored woman, also .resides in Pough keepsie. She, too, was qustioned close ly on the subject, when it was ascertain ed that they were both formerly slaves. Polly Watson claimed that she had not seen her husband, Robert Watson, who was also formerly a slave, for over thirty - , years. o i prmessed was Mr. Graves with the S idba that the deeeased - fßobert Watson was the husband of Polly Wat son, and father of Albert Watson, his ••. hired man, that he determined te inves tigate the matter thoroughly. Accord- - ingly he made several trips to this city on matters connected with the business,' and finally concluded to have the re mains of Robert Watson disinterred for the purpose otidentillcation. An tin- ~ dertaker and two men were hired, and Mr. Graves returned to Poughkeepsie.— The next day, in company--_with the aged colored woman, Polly Watson, he came to this city again. Here they I were met by the undertaker and two men, and one or two • other witnesses,, when all went at once to the cemetery where Watson, was • buried. On arriV- • ing there the grave was uncovered, the dirt thrown up, andthecoffin brought to the surface and opened far enough to disclose the features of the dead Wat son. The remains had -,-been buried nearly' four weeks, but were In a good state of preservation.
