Thia i the third time it has happened witbip the b"lf year. I'll go-there, myself and get the mon ey, or I'll know the reason why !" ?<fr. Matbew Deane was in a particularly bad humor this raw December morning—ev erything had gone wrong. Stocks had fall en when they ought to have risen—his clerk liad tipped over the ir.k§tand on his Special and peculiar heap of papers—the fire obsti nate'y refused to burn in the grate—in short nothing went right, und Mr. Deane was con sequently, and correspondingly cross ! " Jenkins!" " Yes, sir !'' "Go to the Wi* >w Clarkson's, and tell her that 1 shall be there in just half an hour, and shall expect confidently—mind Jenkins, confidently—to receive that rent-money, or else I shad feel obliged to resort to the ex tremest measure. You understand Jenkins?" " Certainly sir." " Then don't stand staring there like an idiot," snarled Mr. Deane in a sudden burst of irritation, a.id J" enki i3 disappeared like a shot. Just half an hour afterwards Mr. Mathevv Deane brushed the frown hair just sprink led wiht gray, aw ay iV >m Ins square, yet not unkindly brow, put on Ins lur-lmed i vi-r --coat. and walked fo~tli into the clnil winter air. fully determined, figuratively, to " anni hilxte" the delimiting Widow Clarkson* It wa-a Iw-.ru-h little red brick house wnich a. pc.ired or ginally to have aspired to two-;.t(.iy-',iind lot, but cramped by circum stanccs, In I s oiled lown into a story and \ half, but the windows shone Lke Btazdian pebbles, and toe do r steps were worn down hv much scouring.

There w?s a small lire—very small, as if every lump ot antb racite were hoarded—in the stove, and at a table, writing implemcti f re her, sat a young lady whom Mr Deane at once recognized as Mrs. Clarkson's niece, Miss Oi'.ve M lien. She was not disagreea o!e to iook upon, though you never thought of classing ir among the beauties with shin ing t.i'ack i air, blue, jong lashed eyes, ami a very * :itt\ mouth, Lididg teeth like rice kef ne! ; sr.

Olive's cheeks had reddened, and her eyes flashed portent iously. Mr. Deane turned toward the door but ere ho knew what she was doing, she had walked across the room, locked the door, taken out the key and re sumed her snat. " What does this mean ?" ejaculated the astonished " prisoner of war." "It means, sir, " Olive said, " that you will now be obliged to reconsider the ques tion. " Obliged ?" " Yes—you will hardly jump out of the window, and there is no other method of egrees, unlets you choose to go up the chim ney. Now, then, Mr. D. anc, will yoo tell me if you—a christian man in the nineteenth century—intended to sell a poor widow's furniture, because she is not able to pay ber rent. Listen sir !" Mr. Deane had opened hismouth to remon strate, lui Oiive enforced his words with a very emphatic little siamp of the foot, and he was, as it were strickeo dumb. '* lon are what the world calls a rich man, Mr Deane—you own rows of hou ses> piles of bank stock, railroad shares, bonds and mortgages—who knows what 1 My aun' has nothing—l support her by coyying.

Mr. Deane ami led a little although he was getting mad. Olive went on with the utmost composure. '• IJut as it is, I chaU only keep you here a prisoner until you have behaved, and given me your word not to annoy my aunt until *he is able to pay you then and not till then, you will receive your inonoy. Will you pro mise me? Yoaornol " I shall certainly agrea to no such t erma" said Mr. Deane, tartly. "Very well sir, 1 can wait." Miss Mellen deposited the key in the pock et of her grej* dress, and sat down to her copying. Had she been a man, Mr. Deane would probably hav knocked her dowD— as i! is she bore an intislble armor of power in the very fact she was a fragile, slight wo man. and she knew it, " Miss Olive," he said sternly, "Let me terminate this muuttnerry. Unlock that door." " Mr. Deane, I will not." " I shall shout and alarm the neighbors then, or call in a policeman 1" " Very well Mr. Deane—do so if you please." She dipped her pen in the ink and com tnenced on a fresh page. Mat hew sat down, puzzled and discomfit ted, an 1 watched the long-lashed eyes and tinted cheek ofhiskeep tr. She so very pretty—what a pity she was so obstinate. '•Miss Olive ?" 'Sir." " I'ho clock, lias jist struck eleven !" "I heard it."

How proTokingly nonchalant she was. Mr Deane eyed the pocket of the grey dress greedily, and walked up and down the room pettishly. "f have an appointment at one." ' Indeed ? what a pity joti will be unable to keep it ?" lie to .k another turn across the room Olive hioked tip wliii a smile. " Well are \.u ralyto pr mie 7" "Hang it, ye !

I dare say you chink me unwemanly and un feminine. v nt indeed you do hot know to what extremities we are driven by our pov erty. Good morning, sir." Mr. Deane sallied f ~'h with a curious complication of though sand emotions strug gling through his brain, in wh'ch grsv dress es, long lashed blue eyes and scarlet ribbons, played a prominent part. "Did you get the money, sir! a-ked his clerk, when he walked into the office. "Mind your buainesa, air," was the tart re sponse. "I pity her husband,'' though* he, as he began to turn over the papers on his desk How she will heilpecK him ! By the way, wonder who her husband will be!" The next day he called at the Widow Clarkson's to assure Miss Mellen that he had no idea of breaking his promise—ana the next but one after that, he came to tell the young lady that she need not entertain any thoughts of his integrity! And the next week be dropped in upon theui with no particular errand to serve as an excuse. "■And when shall we be married, Olive 1— Next month, dearest 7 Do not let us put it off any later !" "I have no wishes but yours, Matthew." "Really Miss Olive Mellen to hoar that meek, tore, one wc ~d suppose you had nev er locked me up here, ind tyranixed over me as a jailor." Olive burst into a merry laugh. "Yon dear old Matthew, I give you warn ing beforehand that I mean to have my own way in everything. Do you wish, now to recede frora your bargain 7 It isn't to late yet." No, Matthew Denne didn't—he had a vague idea that it would be very pleasant to be hen pecked by Olive.

THE ROBBER oFTHK TWEED In the stormy period which marked the succession of James Ike Second, the discon tent of the people, ever swtlhng in an under current, broke out in occasional acta of vio lence in the North. Headed by the reform ed gentry, such tumult threatened civil cota motiofi. Among the most active opponent to crown was Sir Sanies Cochran^whose high family", m arked talents and popularity with the lower orders rendered him a dangerous foe. The premature disclosure of a scheme for raising the clans subjected him to the vio lence of the hws. He was tried, found guil ty of treason, and nothing stood between the unfortunate nobleman and death, tare the royal warrant, which a fvw hours would bring, and which would immediately consign him to the hands of the execution er. The friends and family had taken their last farewell of the dooon-d man ; the weep ing children had clustered around the knees of tin ir beloved parent, and alt had given him their last look—all but gresell, the eldest and best beloved daughter of the Earl. She caine not and the solitary captive wailed hour af ter hour foj her appear-mce in rain. It was drawing towards the close of the last da} which the captive was to spend on earth, when the door of his prison chamber nwung slowly on it 6 hinges, and a lady, veil ed according to the fashion of the times, en tered. Her graceful and commanding figure contrasted strikingly with the barsli outlines of the prison wall ; the heavy, dark Messes which fell from 'heir confinement, swept a neck of sn >w ; and as she flung' back the veil, revealing features of exquisite loveliness the captive earl sprang to her side, exclaim ing: 'My own—my beloved." Gresell fell on the bosom rf her affection ate father, while a flood of tears told-her un spoken tn'sery. •My father—my clear father," exclaim ed the daughter. " shall not dis ! Heav. n will hear th" prayer of the broken heart ed." "Nay, d. aresf, we must part ; yet atn I con*fi>rted to leave my blessing with thee, my last—" llis Voice faded, and even the iron fea tures of the jailor worked with intense feel ing. "You must lie blief." he said, "a few mo ments is ail that is allowed >o y'U.„ Ihe barth sound of the iron door grated as he left them, and the father and daughter were alone in their sorrow. "My father," continued tbe lady, I have ccir.e to cheeh pou. My grandfaihcr, the Earl Dumlmald, is the dear friend of the family. All were gathered there save the King's confessor, and is now on his way to the capital to entroat the holy father to use his influenco with the King for your life. "The death warrant will arrive in two days," said the nobleman, ' and ere mv fa ther shall have reached the court, my chil dren will be orphans." " Say not ao, my dearest father," contin ued the young lady. " Now I must tear my self frotnrii thee; but fJrat—she knelt, and the dark tresses swept the hand of her fa ther—" thy blessing, but not thy last." " My child, you have my warmest bene diction ; yet whrt wouldst my daughter ev en now," " Ask me not, not now, my father. Heav en will speed me since I have thy blessing." A moment more and sbo was gone, and the prisoner was left alone to his musings. It was in the evening of the second day af ter the events above related, when a traveler of unpretending appearanco stopped at a small inn by the high road which traversed the direction of the Tweed. His dress Was of the most ordinary materials ; a coarse doublet and cloak, such as was worn by the belter class of peasantry of the period, to gether with a bonuet of blue cloth, pulled deep over his forehead. The only ornament of his dress consisted of a lung drooping feather, which nearly concealed the wearers features. He seemed a young man of su perior bearing, while hie unpretending man ner gave him the appearance of poverty. Refusing all communication with the group of idlers usually found clustered at the door of a small inn, our traveler sat on a low bench or stoop, as it is called, discussing a small portion of bread, and the hard, unsavo ry cheese which firmed the foodof the peas antry, regarding with Interest the clouds which racked in masses of black vapor thro' the heavens. His frugal meal finished, he started up with an air of haste, seizing a stout staff which he carried and addressed himself to his journey. " How now ! dost thee travel in the night?' inquired the host. u ft will be a fearful one, and Heaven help it, traveler; better bide the gale till morning." " Many thanks ; but my business is ur gent," said the stranger, as, bidding the kind hearten landlord adieu, be plunged into the deepening gloom. Tbe wind howled across the dreary moor ; the rain swept in blinding sheets in the face of owr traveler: still be struggled en, ntrw holding by the furge whidh skirted the large common, now bowing his head as tho storm ilmo6t beat him from the pfith. At length, as the hour told midnight, he crept fur shel ter. undqr the low copse of thorn bushes which offered a tempcrary defence. Suddenly a aoflnd rings clear through the waitings ot the storm. It is the rapid ttatnp of a horse dashing at full sptred across the tnoor'from the South. As he nears the cop pier be rears, fur a hand is upud the bridle A vivid flath of lightning at the moment dis covers the stranger of the inn." " Stand, or die !" hv said • and as the horseman endeavored to reach his arm, the stranger with a firm grap on his breast, drew him heavily to the ground. " The mail!" he said ; ;< give it to me and thou art safe." In another moment he swung the leather bag over his sbotxhier, and mounting the re leased horse, gailopcd at full speed across the common. The discomfitted messenger wended his way to the next town, and with morning light the news spread rapidly of the robbery of the mail. Many repaired to the spot nod diligent search was made for the offender, but no trace of the robber found. As the tidings reached the imprisoned earl, he lifted his eyes in mate grantude, for the event lengthened his life at least fottr teen days, and during that period the peti tion might reach the throne. His affection ate daughter, now his constant companion sobbed upon his bosom at the recital of the t'dins. " Said I not my father should dot d:e ?" she exclaimed. "Heaven must have heard the cry of the afiheted." The aged L >rd Dundoitsld had urged hi auit with the confessor with all a father,.- eloquence; but the tyranical James, jealous and haughty, wi-hed to intimidate his dis affected subjects by an example worthy of fear, stubbornly refused to yield his pardon. Again he signed his death warrant, and again the messenger is on his way ; but well armed and well mounted, he fears no evil. The suspicious spo tis almost passed, and the echoing tramp of the horse's hoofs have almost passed the banks of the Tweed, when a flash of fine gleams across the eyes of the rider. The horse rearing at the moment, threw his rider heavily to tho ground, while h form bent over him., and a glittering wea pon was placed at his throat. "The tnail!" derainJ the robber ; "and young man, travel thin way no more, or thou diest by mj* hand." Possessing him self of the leather hag, he added— "Thy horse must He mine ala<> \ and bow go and thank Heaven for thy life." Again Cochrane was respited, and again his daughter raised her eyes in thanksgiv.ng as the captive exclaimed : "The hand of Heaven is in this !" Ere anottier fourteen days had expired, the monarch, struck by the coincidence, had s'ghed his pardon, and the earl was free ! The great hall of the castle was hung with and the retainers of the earl, with teais >f j >y. welcomed their master, as, lean ing on the arm of his father, he moved through their ranks to meet his Lady Gre sell ; but her absence was scarcely noticed, ss the hippy group gathered around the lord of the mansion. Suddenly a stranger craved to see Lord Cochrane. "Admit him," said the earl, none shall be turned from these doors to-day. He eutered—a tall and graceful figure habited in the gaib of a pearant, while his features were partially concealed by a feath which drooped from his cap. "My lord," be said, "I come to place these pers in your hand ; read them and d j strey theni." As he spoke, he placed in the band of Cochrane his death warrautn. It was the rubber of the moor ! My deliverer—nly generous friend ! how can I than*: toeo 7" Father, children, thank him for me " The stronger raised his cap from bis fore head, and the dark tressss of Gresell fell on her shoulders. "My child ! my beloved daughter ! Havs you saved my life by risking thine ?" "Said I not my father should not die 7"— said the young lady, while all crowde I round her with blessings. The feeling of the farnilp may be better irpsginfed than described; Suffice it to say that Gresell Cochrane was shortly after married to one of Scotland's proudest peers, and several of its best fami lies now count their descent from the Hero - ine of the Moor, JEST There are two ways of living so as to be missed. A man tnay be a scatterer of fire brand*, arrows and death. He will be missed when he is taken away. Ou the oth er hand he may be so active in his works of benevolence, he tnay cause the hearts of so many to rejoice, ho may be the support and star of so many, that when ho dies he is missed— his loss is sorely felt.

TBIIMS: 81.80 PBH. ANKTUiK IP o litioctl. A Subject tiot Likely to Grow IUI We have already referred to the Prvei dent'a letter to Mr. Hodges, of Kentucky, but hardly an excuse is needed for fefcrriig to it again. We think it justifies one of the most startling assumptions of power in this free country, or betrays to an astonisbedf peo ple the utter imbecility of the Executive.— Taking either aide of the question, we have reason to feel equally alarmed. If the Pres ident is a fool, his reckless adherents will not stop to find it out. If he is a knave, hie followers arc ail the more likely to keep hie company. Every virtuous and honeat believ er in our fortn of government ought to repeir to the ballot-bux at the first opportunity, te drive the usurper from office, and to record the decree of eternal banishment from Ame rica ot absolute raonarchs—the man who eeya that whatever he deems indispensable to tbe preservation of the nation is lawful, which is to say his opinions of right and wrong is the pupretoe law of the land, anything in the constitutions or laws of the United States, or of any State to the contrary. This is ths na ked statement of his present position sad the rule which governs hie official acts, the autocrat of all the Russians hide his dim* mished head. Let Abraham Lincoln Stsod forth as the most absolute Potentate ths world ever saw. II nv long does he txpeel the American people to witness, is only mute astonishment, his ascensio t to mora than kingly power? Does he expect tbe peo ple to meekly bow their heads and receite the brand of slaves ? Constitutional Union. An Important Historical Lttor. The Portsmouth (O.) Times of the 23 clt, publishes for the first tune, the following let tor from Hon. S. P. Chase, to a prominent Republican of that place. The original re cently came Into the possession of the "Editor of the Timet , which he well remarks is of great value, as revealing the policy that con trolled the leading statesmen of the Republi can party just previous to, and at the time ot their entailment into power. It throws considerable light upon the animus of those members of the Peace Conference, who thought the Union would not bo worth a curse, in the language of Senator Chandler, •■f Michigan, without a little blood letting.— The following is a copy of Mr. Chase's let ter : "VTashikgtoic, Feb. 9, 1861. :: Dear Sir—Thanks for your note and es plar.&.wm f that v te. It may be usefull._— I here it a greater disposition to comprO' mise than / like to tee. But I hope for the beet. Half a dozen of the Border State gen tlemen have been in our ro>>ra to night, Ethe rnige and S os of Tennessee, Adams and Bristow of Kentuckv, Gilmer, of North Car • •Ima, and o'hers. I really sympathize with them, but see no reason why we would tac rafi.ee permanently a lakge power to help n.ein.l'.r the purpose of gaini g temporarily a little one Yviura, cordiallr, S. P. CHASE." Cm any one who reads this letter of Mr. Chase tail to see who Wrought this war on t and wh > is responsible for the present condi tion of thingp ! Read the letter over again, par'icularly the lines in italic. When Mr. Chase wrote that there was a greater disposition to compromise than he liked to see, he meant among his own parly friends ; for the Democrats were all for com* promise to avoid civil war end separation.— Mr. Chase, of course, resisted the diepoeitioa to compromise, which he found among hie party friends. The result is now upon the Country in one of the most stupendous and sacrificing wars of modern times. „ To the entreaties of the Border State men' he turned a deal ear. He could see no rea son why the Republican party "should sacri fice permanently a largo power" to help them "lor the purpose of gaining, temporarily, a little one." He regarded the permanent as cendancy of the Republican party of iar more importance than the peacu of the Border Stater, and their retention in the Union.—, riiis letter of Mr Chase will form a part of the history of the fall of the great America!) Republic, and connect hia name indissolobly with its destruction. f.-y 1 A pamphlet haa been printed in Philadelphia showing that Judge Wood ward was elected Governor by 100,00 ma jority of the legal votes of the Slate.
