In early life lie married one of the co-he iresses of a city banker, and by ante nuptial agreement her property was strictly secured to any heirs she might have. She died while 1 her only child, was yet an infant, and her wealth become mine, held by my father in trust for my use until I should reach the age at which it would come into my possession. I was left to the care of servants, princi pally, for my father, though very fond of me was always immersed i n business, and spent hut little time in the splendid but comfort less home over which no mistress presided. I j'could not remain tlins. My nnnt St, Clair returned from Europe when I was about fourteen. She came with her family to Yerdhill by my father's invitation, to re main until her house in town could be put in order for her reception. She saw and was astonished at uiy wild appearance and hoy endi-h manners. She quickly decided that her sister's child, and a great heiress, must n>' be allowed to remain thus, and it was arranged that I should accompany her to the city ell ter at once upon t lie course of intruc tion sn necessary and s long neglected. At the age of sixteen summers my aunt had succeeded in having m 3 " finished" ac cording to the fashionable patient. I was beautiful, willful, utterly selfish, and a de votee of the art ol thrting. So accomplished I went to mj r old home, and my agel father, who welcomed me with pride and fondness. A gay party went with me whom I was to make the round <>f the watering place with after a short visit to mv father. The Sabbath before we were to start, we al! went to the old village church. 1 shall never-forget that day. As we all sat silent there was a slight rustling of leaves, and the imperceptible stir that announces a new Corner, and I turned to see that the clergy man had entered noiselessly. He was kneel ing at his desk, his face buried in the snowy handkerchief he bore in his hand, hut when after a moment lie rose, I saw a pale intol ectual face a g r and head covered by light, waving hair of golden brown, a tall figure finely proportioned, but a little too slight 'or the indications of robust health. I was attracted and interested at first, hut when he commenced to read, the deep melodious it flections of his voice comoleted the charm. 1 listened entranced. From that imtant I aw nothing, felt noth ing hut his presence, and when the service and the sermon were ended and he sank down in the last, silent prayer, it was as if tiie sun had been withdrawn from my world and I left in darkness. Mechanically I followed my friends into the porch- A sudden shower was gathering —the air was chill, the bird songs were Lushed, and all nature wore the gray hut so omnious of her coming convulsion*. I had been unconscious of the change, hut the chill wind had been blowing upon me from an open window, as I sit in church, and now I shuddered. ?.§ taking my father's arm I hurried homeward. Before we reached the ho-.3 tr j storm broke and all but the swiftest pedestrians, were thoroughly drench ed. Ere nighlfell a burning fever alternated with icy chills in my frame and the effect of draft anil drenching declared themselves. Mr. Fletcher had been invited by my fa ther to dine with us, but had excused lorn self with the simple remark that his duties absorbed the entire sabbath day. But during the week, and after our friends had left us he called. I saw him in the little uioruing room where I .rested upon a couch and he dined with my father. This visit was followed by many others, until at last he dined with us nearly every day and spent most evenings in listening to my (>er formauce upon the pinano-forte, or in con versation with me. I saw the effects of my charm. 1 knew that I was beautiful,and the world declared me brilliant. And 1 brought every art that I had learned, to lure thi6 silent, grave youth to my feet. It was a triumph to bend his glorious intellect to a girls will, and I liked him, too, mote and more as time—that love ly summer lime wore on. But lam sure no thought of the fufure or of the consequences of my acts ever intruded upon me. I had bien taught to look upon life as a game, and forgot that all player-, were not skhlful like myself. And yet I suffered, too, for 1 was not des titute of sympathy, and my heart not wholly untouched, either by profound devotion of this silent grave mad—with all his learning and mental discipline powerless to his decla ration of love, and spoke the words that sep arated us forever. I went up to rny room half angry with myself, listening to some smothered re pro&ches of my conscience, yet repeating that 1, heiress and beauty, wub the honors of bellehooi not yet fallen into tradition, could not marry a poor country clergyman, whose whole estate was his hands and surplice and thepittance these villagers paid him for those wonderful sermons and all his heavy pasto ral labors. And yet I had been struck and pained with the palor that overspread that noble face as it bent toward me in farewell. "TO SPEAK HIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY FREEMAN'S RIGHT. "—Thomas Jefferson. v TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22 1864. Something told me that I had been hard and cold with hiin, even while mv own heart pleaded with him. But I stifled the silent monitor, and ordered my maid to prepare for the journey I was about to take to join my friends at Newport. The morning I left home my father men tioned,casually,that he hr.d heard Mr. Fletch er was very ill. I felt myself grow pale and cold, but I stifled my emotions, and in a con strained voice expressed my regret at these tidings and begged my father to provide the invalid with every heeded luxury from Yerd hill, and to iuform me in his letters of his state. ****** Two years later I was in Italy with my husband—the husband of inv Aunt St. Clairs choice. I had made a grand match, hut 1 was not happy. Diamonds bound my aching brow,and flashed above a throbbing heart. I was cold and unloving to my husband, and he returned my indifference with scorn. A few months had brought us to this pass that he lived out of doors amidst pleasures in which 1 had 110 share and which 1 shrunk from even guessing at, and I was alone in so ciety. a mark in uiy beauty for continental gossip. One night I saw my husband making his way toward me through a crowded saloon, I pressed forward for I telt the need of his protection frmn advances that were insults, though perhaps not intended as such. He drew my arm in his, did speak until vte reached the ante room. I hen he told me that he had been sum moned to the bedside of a dying countryman, and that he had come from this melancholy visit to conduct me thither. He would tell ine no more, and when I refused to go. he compelled me, almost by force, to accompany It was to Mr. Fletcher we were going. We found him in humble lodgings, for he had spent his last dollar, and was reduced to d.e in the midst of poverty and deprivation. He had heard of us, had seen us when he crawled forth upon the piazza, and had ven lured to send for us in his extremity. He uttered no reproaches, though he told me, in hollow accents, that my rejection had been his word of doom ; that he had struggled with his mortal illness, using as in duty bourid, all means of restoration, but without hope. And now that he was dying, lie de sired only to look upon my face, best loved on earth, ere he committed his 6oul to his Creator. I knew then how I had loved John Fletch er, and if the sacrifice of my life vvo'd have saved his most gladly would I Lave died that hour. But God willed otherwise. I held my hand in his. but his last words were not of his crushed earthly hopes, but of those that reached beyond the rending veil of flesh. I told my husband all, as we returned, in the purple Italian twilight, from John Fletch et's funeral. We had hated each other be fore, but now a new antagonism had arisin. We felt that the false and hollow bonds that bound us must be snapped asunder. I left him in Naples, and returned alone to Ameri ca, thus voluntarily renouncing the station of wifehood, and compelling myself to seclu sion and solitude or scandal strove to find cau-e for -this un unprecedented act, and made itself busy with my lairnaine. Years have passed since that hour. My father has long been dead, and I should livt. quite aluiie at \ crdhill, but fui tkie sweet presence of a fail young girl—John Fletch er's sister. 1 found ht-r—a mere infant—ou uiy return, abandoned to poverty by her brother's death, and she has been with me ever since—my adopted cbilu- An inex pressible Couitori and consolation has she Oeen to uie ever, in my care of her 1 Lave striven, IU some little measure, to repair the great wrong of my life.

A Yankee editor lately closed a leader in this unhappy strain—"The sherilfs officer is waiting f >r us in the other room, so we have no opportunity to be pathetic ; we are wanted and Delinquent sub scribers—you have much to answer for! Heaven may f rgive you, but we never can." LEARNING* —By too much learning many a man has been made mad— but never one from the want of it. Hence, some would draw an argument against learning; but as well might the advantages of steam be called in question because, when raised too high, an explosion somelimes takes place. A pretty girl of our acquaintance says that no one falls in love with her unless they are "dreadful wicked" or "awful pmus," Is there no young man between these two extftmes that would like to try his luck. "Ifyru wish to kppetr agreeable in stciety." says Talleyrand, "you must consent to be taught many things which you know already." HON C. L. VALLAN DIGHAM AG..IN IN OHIO. CINCINNATI, June 15,—Hon. C. L. Val landigham arrived at Hamilton. Ohio, this morning, and made a speech in the public square, after which he left for Dayton. A good deal of excitement occurred at Hamil ton during his stay there . The 6th Ohio Regiment, the ,! Guthrie Grey," arrived here ta day, to be mustered out of the service. A grand reception was given them. AT HOME. CINCINATI, June 15.--Hon. C. L, Valian digl am arrived a' Dayton at 5 30 P. m., and proceeded immediately to his residence. There was no demonstration, but rumors are current that saon alter his arrival he had ta ken the night tram for Toledo, but subse quently announced he would make a public speech to morrow. HIS SPEECH. CINCINATI, June 15—Mr. Vallandigham made his appearand- at the Democratic Dis trict Convention, held at Hamilton to day to the apparent surprise of a large portion of the assemblage. He was received with great enthusiasm. 4 lie spoke briefly from a written document narrating his arrest and defending his actioo. He said the assertion of the President that he was arrested because he labored with some effect to prevent the raising of troops ami encouraged de-ertions from the army, or had disobeyed or failed to counsel obedience to lawful authority, was absolutely false. He appealed for proof to every speech he had made and to the record of the military com missi on.by the trial and sentence of which be was banished. "The sole offense" was said, " which was laid to niv charge in words of criticism o tiie public policy <>f tiie Administration ad dressed to an open political meeting of my fellow-citizens. For more than one year no pubbc man has been arrested, no newspaper has been suppressed within the State, for the expression of public opinion, while ..hundreds in public assemblies and through the press, with violence, and violence in which I have never indulged, have criticised and condemn ed the acts and pi licies of the Administra tion and denounced the war—maintaining Southern Confederacy. Ido not mean any 1 oiigcr to be the only man of the party who is to he the victim of this arbitrary power. If Abraham Lincoln seeks my life let him so declare. lie shall not again restrain me of my personal liberty, except upon due pro cess of law. lie denounced Order No. 38. under which he was arrested, and said it was against the Constitution and tlie laws, and without val idify. All proceedings under it were null and Toid. "The time has arrived," he con tinued, "when it becomes me, as a citizen o Ohio, and of the United States, to demand, and. by uiy own act, vindicate the rights, liberties and privileges which I never forfeit ed, but of which for so many months I have been deprived lie reiterated his right to criticise the acts of the Administration, ahd cautioned ins political friend-" to abstain from any acts of violence on his account, although he advised none to shrink from any respon sibility, however urgent, if forced upon them. Mr Vullandigham was accompanied to the depot by an enthusiastic crowd, and arrived at Dayton to-night, wli,ere it is understood he will make a speech. The Convention elected Mr. Vallandigham a Delegate to the Chicago Convention, Meeting of Democratic Members of Con gress. We have heard it rumored that a meeting has been suggested, or will soon be held, by ihe Democratic and conservative Members of the Seriate and the House of Representatives to discuss the propriety of a change of the tune, and probably the place fixed for the meeting, of the National Democratic Conven tion. The Draft and the S3OO Exemption. Provost-Marshal General Fry has written the following reply to Hon. W. G, Steele, a member of Congress from New Jersey cons truing the S3OO exemption for commutation for the draft : "WAR DEPARTMENT, I PROVOST MARSHAL-GENERAL'S OFFICE, C WASHINGTON, D. C\, May, 20, 1864. ) "//on. WM G. STEELE, U. S. HO of Repre sentatives, II ushi gton, D. C "SIR : In reply to your inquiry of this date, as to length of time to which the pay ment of commutation money exempts a man from liability to service, I have the honor to state that the language nf the law seems to me to make the subject plain, The law 6ays "if any drafted person shall hereafter pay money for the procuration of a substitute un der the provisions of the act to which this is an amendment, such payment of money shall operate only to relieve such person from draft in filling that quo.a." If it should be necessary to make several drawings of names .in order to fill that quota, that is to say, the quota already assigned, the person paying commutation-money will be exempt on ac count of such payment, from ail the drawings to fi'l that quota made subsequent to the one in which he was drawD, and for which he paid the commutation. I am, Sir, very re apectlully, "Your ob'l servant, JAMES B. Far,,' Provost-Marshal General MAKING FUN OF PEOPLE, ! Once when travelling on a stag ecoach says a writer in a contemporary, I met with a young lady who seemed to be on the con stant lookout for something laughable. Ev try old barn was made the subject of a pass lugjoke, while the cows and sheep look de murely at us, little dreaming that folks could he merry at their expeuse. All this was, perhaps, harmless enough, Anitfiala were not sensitive in that rspect.— They are not likely to have their feelings in jured because people make fuu of (hem ; but when we come to human beings, that is quit another thing. So it seemed to me, for; after a while, an aged woman came running across the fields, lifting up her hands to the coachman, and in a shrill voice be-rging him to stop. The good jialured coachman drew up his horses, and the old lady coming to the fence by the road side, squeezed herself through between two posts which were very near together. The young lady in the stage-coach made some ludierotfs remark, and the passengers laugh ed it seemed very excusable, for,in get ting through the fence, the poor woman made sad work with her old black bonnet; and now, tamnga seat beside a well dressed lady realty looked as if she had been blown there by a whirlwind. This was a new piece of fun, and the girl made the most of it. She caricatured the old lady upon a card, pretended to take a pattern of her bonnet, and in various other ways sought to raise a laugh at her. At length the poor woman turned a pale, face towards her and said : My dear girl, you are now young, healthy, and happv. I have been so to, but that time is past. lam uow old and forlorn. The coach is taking uie to the death-bed of my only child. And then, my dear, I shall be a poor old woman, all alone in the world, where merry girls will think me a very amus ing object. They will laugh at uiy old-fash ioned clothes and sad appearance, forgetting that the old woman has loved and suffered and will live forever. The coach now stopped before a poor-look ng house, and the old lady feebly descended the Bteps. "How is she?" was the first trembling inquiry of the mother. '•Just alive," said the man who was lead ing her mt© the house. fhe driver mounted his box, and we were upon the road again. Our merry young friend had placed the card iu her poefcet. She was leaning her head upon her band ; and you may be sure that 1 wa? not sorry to see a tear upon her fair young cheek. It was a good lesson, and one which we greatly hoped would do her good. A CONSCIENTIOUS MIMSTKK. —There is a story told of a traveling preacher,whose opin ions in regard to horse tiesh were quite as ready on orthdox as were the views of scrip tural doctrine of which he instructed his backwoods audience, who once stopped at the house of a brother of the same faith. wh>> had reared a Jbeautilul colt. Between the morning and afternoon services on Sunday, the two ministers visited the barn of the res ident preacher where the latter introduced his promising colt to the traveling brother.— The guest was so much delighted at the fine points ofthe animal that he could not restrain himself, end he immediately bl >rted out the question,"Suppose it was not the Sabbath, Brother— how would you trade ?

These animalcules exist in such wonderous multitudes that any effort to concieve of their numbers bewilders the imagination.

In endless variety of form and structure they are bustling through their ac tive lives, pursuing their prey, defending their persons, waging their wars, multiplying their .-pecies, and ending their careers, countless hosts at each tick of the clock passing out of existence and making way for new hosts that are following in endless succession.
