The St. Louis Republican of the 15th
ultimo vouches for the truth of the follow
ing :
Who is it that does not 'remember the
financial crash of ,1857 ? • It spread over the
country, even to St Louis Many of our
most enterprising and seemingly m6st pros
perous merchants had to sneeumb to the
pressure - of - rhe-time --- — AllSo - Erg — ttrera — wa - s — t
merchant whom we shall call 'Smith,' His
real name and some of the circumstances we
are about to relate will doubtless be recol
lected by many in St. Louis even to-day.
He kept an extensive mercantile eitablisb
ment on street, and by his enterprise
and promptitude won the confidence of the
best supply houses in the East and West.—
His business wascond, his credit was good,
and everybody thought he would survive the
troubles of that long- to be remembered win
ter of '57. But he, too, had many smaller
merchants largely indebted to him for goods
he furnished them.
lle had a young, beautiful, and highly
accomplished wife and three smiling, inno

ate father's ambition and energies for their
maintenance and education. They lived in
a neat villa of their own in a fashionable por
tion of the city, and the neighbors said a
happier family did not exist in the State of
.51issouri.
The crash came: his debtors were unable
to meet his calls, and as a consequenee he
was unable to meet the demands of his cred
itors. He suddenly became moody and fret
ful, even in the bosom of his lovely family.
What wits he to do ? lie had not much
time left for ruminating on his position, and
something should be done quickly. His first
resolve was to make over the villa to his wife
and family, and secure an annuity of ‘9600 a
year on his wife for the support of herself'
and children, and leave the city secretly- he
knew, he eared, not whither, Little_time

self? What became of him? Did he make
away himself in a fit of temporary insanity
or was he made away with, as scores are
from year to year that fall into the hands of
'roughs,' who would murder a man and stow
his body away for ten dollars. These were
queries that agitated the minds of the deso
late and disconsolate family, the public, and
the press, of St. Louis at the time. No ac
count of the missing man could be ferreted
out. Proclamations and rewards were of no
avail, and the universal verdict was 'mysteri
ous disappearance.'

years, till her fair features began to grow

had been buried among books, in a far dis

bra and geometry; grammar and philosophy,_
astronomy and botany, French and Latin;
patiently at first, because her parents desir
ed it; afterwards cheerfully to please the
teachers she had learned to love ; and at
last those studies unlocked to her. But it
was over now, those toilsome. years, and she
was on her way to us once mote—eßit Liz

She left B—in ttpnaornin ,, ; had journ•

There was Hannah, tou, bewildering the
mother about the breakfast. 'Did ,Lizzie
like coffee best ? And would she make bis

And the mother, smiling all the time
nodded her head to everything, and went
hurrying about, with the gridiron in one

something, was flitting up-stairs and down,
leaving a book here, a flower there, a da
guerreotype on the table, a rosy cbeeked
Fall apple in the window—something for
Lizzie to see and smile at.
Only the lather seemed undisturbed.—
We noticed to be sure, that the dimples in
his cheeks, whidh Lizzie always said she
made with her fingers when she was a babe,
looked - tteaper-when he smiled and that his
voice was a trifle less steady when

Thomas to bring the horses; but he did not
like to be considered a demonstrative man,
so we only looked significantly at each other
and said nothing. Still 'waters are some
times very deep.
At.last the carriage came around and we
got in; two of us. besides the father, who
was to drive. There was room for more,
but it was quite out of her line, the mother
said, to go on a dashing drive before break
fast ; so we left her on the piazza, with the
pickle dish in her hand, and wiping her eyes
with her apron.
It was half a tulle to the depot and the
sun had not quite risen when we started.—
Hew balmy the pure air was that soft Sep
tember morning I W e thought egotistic
as we were in our happiness, that nature
sympathized with us. It seemed'as if there
never bad been as fair a sunrise before, and
half the glory of the morning would have
been wasted . had Lizzie not been coming
home.
The - ears had not arrived when we stopped
at the station. but we heard the whistle of
the locomotive not very far distant, and
those few sweet waiting moments—what a
world of blessed anticipations they hold !
The sun is rising—ah ! Lizzie, Lizzie !
At last the train came up—stopped. We
looked at the windows; only a row of sad
faces! Lizzie must have sat on the other
side. A few passengers came out,solemn
laced and silent. We pressed forwt , rd—so
did those who were going oat on the train.
The conductor appeared and waved' every
body back, then motioned to
,some one in
the car. Two men came out and slowly de
sceuded the steps, bearing the lifeless body
of a woman ; her features covered by a veil.
They bore it into a saloon and laid it rever
ently upon s.sofa. Still the conductor waved
the orowd back—except our party 1 He

best beloved, idol-of our hearts 1
In a brief time we learned the Story—
learned how the Angel of the Lord had 'met
lazzie' before us, in the still, twilight, Au
tumn morning, and, after one pang —terrible
we know, hut brief—had wafted the gentle
spirit to those who waited for her in the
home of angelsl
At the very last stopping place, Lizzie had
lett the ear to procure some food for a liftle
