M.ISEACI3O3ICaI-nAk:ZTIro THE ROBBER'S HAND 'Let me see,' began Mr. Wotan, in re sponse to a request to tell a story, while we were seated around the stove in Hill's bar room, one blustering night last winter; 'Let= me see. Twenty-two years ago I entered the store of Day & Co,-as olerk, and twenty-one years ago, on the night of the first of Febru ary, I had an adventure which I shall never forget' We drew our benches nearer the stove and the retired merchant, who we know had a good story in store for us. At my side, on the oaken settee, sat a man judging by his silvered hair—about five and sixty • He was a traveler : and a stranger to our entirs party, and during our convetsation previous to the merchant's narrative, had been taciturn and moody. But when Worden began his story his eyes were fixed upon his face. was not seventeen,' continued the nar• rater, 'when I became a clerk, and it was ' great event in my life. The firm told me that I. would have to sleep in the store. I felt proud of being • allowed to do so. It showed that they had great faith in my hon esty. So a lounge was brought in and placed under the counter, and there, after Icoking the door, I would lie and dream till day light.' `During the first part of the winter of '4B, our neighboring county (Flerkitner) was in fested with a gang of daring . robbers, whose depredations wee both bold and alarming The good people became excited ; and well they might, for tho villains scrupled not to t,ke the lilo of any one who dared to defend his property. 'Vigilance committees were formed and the gang broken up Several of the villains were captured, and their cases deeidell by Judge Lynch. Those who escaped the corn wittee went into neighboring aunties, and ours received a few. During January sever. ul bold robberies which were committed in Dialton, threw our •citizens into the highest state of excitement, but all efforts and those wade were strenuous ones—to catch the rob bers were unavailing. `Day & Co., during the excitement, sat back in their easy choirs laughing at the people's scare. They fancied their store se• cure, and when I asked to ha permitted to keep a gun at my . beside twitted me at what they termed my cowardice. It was not cow ardice, boys, but I wanted to give the rob bers a bold reception if they paid me a visit. I thought they would Dot fail to do this, for my employers held in their hands many sums of money belonging to other people; iu short, they were the bankers of the village. The money was enclosed in a safe which I knew would not resist an experienced burglar.— But Day & Co., thought their safe secure, and refused to grant my request. 'I had made up my mind to arm myself, let the arm call me what it wished. I lived in Montauk then, a few miles from Dialton, and one Sunday night, the last of January, when I returned from a visit home I brought along an old sabre, which my grandfather had used against Saracen at Sander's Creek That Sabbath night, as I well Temember, did not retire until near Iniduig,hz, for I eat up polishing the old blade. At last, when the light shining upon it blinded me, I put it in the sheath, and stood it against the head of the lounge and went to sleep, feeling that I could overcome ri dozen of the fiercest rob ben that over made woman or child tremble at the Mention of their deeds. 'The following morning ushered in the last metth of winter, and I forgot to stow the old arch away out of sight of the arm.— When Deweca, the junior prattler, stepped behind the counter, my preparations tor de fense met his gaze. •Well, John 1' ho said, seizing the Revolts• denary relic, 'what in the ,world are you go ing to do with this ?'

Take it , home, or sell it as trash.— Day and I will have a hearty laugh — at — your expense.' 'I do not oare for your labgh, Mr. Dewed,' I answered, 'and as for the sabre, it shrill re• wain here 'Do as you please John; and, if you say so, I shall purobase a dozen cemetery lots in which you can enter your dead. But, boy", look 'at the doors; suppose a robber should Fick thelocks, t e strong .te s wou d — re= main, and ten men could never, move them.' 'True,' I replied; 'but breaking bolts is not the work of an experienced robber, lie would out a hole through the door, insert his hand and push back the bolts.' 'No use to talk to you, John,' lie said, turning to rearrange some boxes on the shelves ; 'bat if a robber should attempt . to enter, I'll increase your wages.' 'The-old weapon was replaced, and when Day entered, the firm had a hearty laugh at my fears. 'When the night came I built up a rous• ing, fire, and sought my couch beneath the counter. Outside it was aery cold, and the snow, was falling in blinding flukes. I as sure you I felt 'comfortable under the addi tional coverlets Mrs. Ibty'had sent me that morning. Before I retired I had unsheath e l the sabre, so that in erse of emergency it would make no unnecessary noise. 'lt must have been near midnight when I awoke, The storm was still raging, and the room retained but a'small degree of heat from the stove I was about to rise to replenish the fire, for we did, nut want our large stock of ink to freeze, when I heard a noise as though a rat was gnawing for dear life. listeued, and Huon discovered that the noise was at the front and doubled door. I rose and enutiously struck a light, and donned my pants and eteekiees. The lamp I turned low, and grasping the old sabre approached the door. 'Sure enough, the noise was on the out side, and I knew a man was cutting a hole beloivethelatong, largeeirou bar.. The_work accomplished, he could insert his hand, noise lessly temove the bar, and push the door open. With bated breath and wildly beat ing heart I listened to the sawing; the ewes - vial-a boveemy - h - e - nd'andettlongeele, the door. Plainer and plainer grew the noise, and at last a circular pleco of the door was pushed a little inside. Then t saw two fingers grasp and draw it aut. • tedsiterthee — insertion of the hand, for I had determined to slyer it with the sabre. I heard no noise outside, and sup• posed the robber was alone. Not long did -I wait, however, for the reappearance of the hand. It was thrust in, and .the fingers moved toward the bare I, struck with all the strength of my right arm. The robber's hand fell at toy feet, end .the bleeding stump Wilc quickly withdrawn. 'Then above the war of the storm, which seemed to increase at every moment, I heard words and a noise as of a person forcing his' way through heavy drifts. 'I can - never use my right baud again,' I beard the man groan. 'Oh, God' I might have known that stripling was fully armed. (June my folly!' e 1 picked up the severed member and ex amined it at the light. It looked•as it' it be longed to a wen in the meridian of, life, and the little finger was encircled by a heavy gold ring with a solitaire diamond sewn , . It was a right hand, and the tip of the thumb was missing. I wrapped the hand in cotton, laid it in the desk, and replenishing the fire, watched the door 111161, through the fatal opening, I saw limbs . bending under their load of snow. 6 1 opened the doer, but saw no' tracts; it had suowed all night and covered up all traces 91 the robber. When Devices came —he always reached the store half ari 'huur bet, re Day--1 showed him the hole and the hand Of mime he was astonished. 'By George, boy I' he exclaimed, 'your ' hers were not groundless. Yotr may keep .that old sabre till it rusts, and front this how sear wages mend voteeaeed. • course 'boys, I was thankful because be had knocked under to me, and because my wages 'were increased Great senrab, was I wade for the robber, but he was not found and I remained in poesession of the ring and the hand. is'ive years later I left Dial too, which had not, been disturbed by rob• bert since that memorable night. I kept the robber's hand in spirits lot near fifteen years, when neglecting it, it spoiled„and I buried it in my lot.' 'But what did you do with the slog 7' ask ed the traveler, wheel Mr. Worden conclud ed. I had noticed his agitation. 'Kept it. Nothing could have induced me to part with it' 'Would you not return it to tho owner ?' 'Perhaps he, did not eotee by it honestly —he was a robber, you know ?' The traveler blushed. 'He did, sir,' he said. 'What do y U know about the ring and the robber ?' said :tit.. W (ado!). 'A good deal. Look there !' and turning up his sleeve he displayed to our gaze u hand less wrist. 'The robber!' the ox merchant and half a dozen of our party exelaimed. I for one could not keep back the iverd robber 'Yes sir,' said the stranger , 'robber once, but once, thank; God, no tooger.

Upon her death bed, one year before I fell into bad company, she gave it to me, and told me to wear it always. She placed it on my finger, and 1 wore it through all my burglarious operations. Give we the sir,-and _name your price' Mr. Worden raised his hand,,and we saw the ring. It was very beautiful, and must rhave cost not a small amount; of money.— The merchant slowly drew it from his finger, upon which it had glistened for twenty years, and passed it over to its long lost owner.— The stranger drew out a roll of greenbacks. 'Keep your money !' said 11r. Wordeu.— have enough of them. The returning of the ring is reparation for the injury I inflict ed .upon you.' 'I am sorry, sir, that you will not accept the money,' returned the stranger. value this ring above inches. Come, let 'us be friends. Excuse my left hand,' and, laugh ing, tho two men grasped hands in a hearty. shake. 'And now, gentlemen, step up to the bar and drink. had I not abandoned the habit long ago, I would join you. We rose, approached the bar, and in a bumper drank the health of the stranger. 'Now, landlord,' ho said, 'show we my room. I can enjoy sloop to-night, for once again I possess that dear old ring. Good night, gentlemen ' I never learned his name. Human life is as the journey of a day; we rise in the morning of youth full of vigor and full of expectation; we set forward with spirit and hope, with gaiety, and with 'dill geoce, and travel on awhile in the direct road, piety, toward the mansions of rent. In a short time we remit our fervor and en deavor to find some mitigation of our duty and some more easy means of obtaining the same end. We then relax our vigor and re sol_ve_ne imager to be terrified witkerimes at a distance, but rely on our own constancy, and venture to approach what we resolved never to touch; we thus enter the bowers in the shades of Sc. eart softens and vigi lanc© subsides; we ate then willing to in quire whether another advance cannot, be made, and whether we may not at least turn our eves upon the gardens of pleasure.___Wel approach them with scruple and hesitation ; but enter timorous and trembling; and al ways hope to pass through them without los ing the road of virtue, which for a while we keep in sight, and to which we purpose to return. But temptation succeeds tempta tion, and one compliance prepares us for an. other, we in time loco the happiness of in nocence, and solace our disquiet with sensu, al gratification. By degxees we let hi! the remembrance of our original intention, and quit the oply adequate ot.ject of rational de sire. We entangle ourselves in business, im merge ourselves in luxury, and rove through labylitiths of inconstancy, till the datknees of old nee begins to evade us, and disease and anxiety obstruct our way ; we then leek back upon our lives with horror, with sor row, with repentsoce, and wish, but too of ten vainly wish that wo had not forsaken the ways of virtue. Happy are they who shall, le,irn from thy mituple not to despair, that reformation is never hopeless; nor sincere en den7ors ever unassisted; that the wanderer may at length return, atter all his errors, and that ho who implores strength and courage from above, shall find danger and diaculty give way before him.

They go •everywhere,' and 'everybody' reads then/. is a single week your wants would be made known to more thousands than you could tell 'by word of mouth' iu a year, almost, and at a far less expense. Of course advertising itself neither sells nor buys, but it puts buyers and sellers into communication with cam other, and so fir facilitates the deoired operation, A man may ask such a price as never to sell, but the fact of his desire soon becomes known to 'all who would wish to buy, and the ohances are greatly multiplied. The man who adiercises, by reason of the extent el the competition, stands a better chauce of rucking satisfactory bargains Twenty men wanting the same farm, mteht raise the price of it. lo short, buying or selling, the larger the field you operate in the better may be your caoice, and the greater your satisfaction.- .2rlcriella Regis ter.

A. Remarkable Dream A. lady of Brooklyu having seen that the clairvoyants have been trying to tell what has become of the wising steamer City of Boston, gives her 'idea, that she was burnt at sea, and gives the following as her reasons for so believing. She says : oo,F • riday the 25:h of February, 1 had a lady friend from the country, bleeping with me and had been talking a great deal on .different sub jects, especially on the marriage question and ocher philosophical subjects quite foreign to my vision; but conditions were, 09 wo say right and much harmony existed between us, All at 0000 the whole side of the house seem ed to roll away, ant: I saw a bright light and heard a voice near me say -in a spent, whis per, 'Look at the fire.' I looked, when I saw the light and flame; saw a steamer burn ing, people struggling in the flames and wa ter, I, much terrified, saw that it was a vision; I tried to speak to my companion and the voice said 'Nay, further I' Again I looked and it seemed nearer. I Saw the stack pipe fall, masts and all but the hull disappear, and on the elated mass I read 'City of —the rest was burnt off, and when I 'looked the black mass sank in the boiling eta. Here is the descriptien of the location I saw-a narrow pass oft the right a high rocky precipice or headland : directly across from it is a low point of laud or coast be hind the point the vessel burnt—not in the pass. I have no recollection more but of feeling dreadfully frightened, and every thing, was as clear- to me as it' I witnessed it. 1 caned to. the lady by my side, saying what I saw, and she asked me, 'ls there no one saved? I said, 'Yes ; a man named Seymour, for one ; but, for Gt.d's sake, let me rise. I did su, and saw it was two o'clock aknight. I called a gentleman in the nest room, who replied that I had been Peeing the City of Glasgow that was burned some time ago can prove this vision of mine by three wit• EleSses, and I was told that the land I de scribed was the' Irish coast; but I do not know.

The Seamless Coat N.S. Dedgei.correspondent of the New York Observer, writing from 'heves, the city of the holy - coat i gives an interesting account of the cathedral, Ato., from wirier we , quote the following : , We did not see the holy Cont. It is kept snored in thisorypt _Since 1844 when du ring its eight weeks', exhibition, more than a million people came to see the relto, it hue enjoyed no like triumph. It was thee placed on , the high altar of the cathedral. encased in a frame of glass,and surrounded by bril.• :Haat lights. The , people oame in pitmessious of thousaode. Pouring in at the several gates of the city, acoothpanied by priests, ban ners and crosses, the stream never ceased 'The lame, blind and sit* were borne along in the crowd. Night and day there were alter. nate singing and praying. Men with packs of feud; women with utensils for cooking, and children .wi:h• pans, pitchers and kettles, fared along. Waywomand footsore, fatigued and staggering, they pursued their toilsome march, intent only upon" the one object of their pilgrimage. Troves wail turned into an encampment. Cologne, in the Middle Ages, when the shrine of the three kings was in its glory, never witnessed .-wilder scenes of fanaticism, Ttte groups of pilgrims were clad in the costumes• of various countries.— In every street were booths-andbenobee,_ta. Wes for sale of rosaries and pactures of trio holy robe. You •heard songs of mirth and snored chants,. loud prayers and oaths of di. cern, the chattering of women in outlandish tongues around the cooking food, and bois terous revelry at drinking tables. Thirty. few years had elapsed between this display and that which last prereeded it. If there be such heti - ling virtue in the relic, as good Catholics - believe, one wonders why it is so rarely shown. The holy Coat is a simple antique tunic. It appears to be of coarse, undressed cloth. Its color is dingy brown. The sleeves aro short and wide. Its length would reach to the hips of a man of middle size. In width it is large enough to fold around the wearer. Collar, buttons,loops, or waistband, it has - not. — __ To appearance it - is seirfilesTa--trlooks old, but is neither ragged nor moth eaten.— If it be the garment worn by oar Lord, as is averred, its preservation is a oontianous mi racle. Helena, tionstaatine's mother, it is alleged, disoovered it. But, like other dim ooveries of that noble lady, it is opc,n to doubt. Indeed, it cannot be traced as a ret ie book of A.
