THE TIMES, NEW lVLOOMFlELD, PA.. JANUAltY 14, 1871). of lind died at Mrs. Burkhardt's. Mr. Stanley bad, lils attorney owned, been frantic on receiving this news, and bad immediately commenced preparations to come to tills country, when he was taken worse. lie had, however, left bU a flairs In perfect order, and his wishes clearly expressed. " I was to make Inquiries not only of Mrs. Burkhardt," the gentleman said, " but also of the physician and gentle man who ntteuded Mrs. Paulier lu her last Illness ; also any physician or cler gyman In the neighborhood who might be supposed to know anything of the matter. I was to search the records of deaths was even to examine the grave where the lady is said to be burled." " There is then great importance at tached to the fact of Mrs. Paulier's death 1"' the doctor asked quietly." "Yes, sir," the lawyer replied, closely observing the effect of his words. "Mrs. Taulier was Mr. Stanley's first cousin, and, if living, by his death Bhe becomes heiress to an immense fortune. The Hall in which she is said to have died was but a part of her Inheritance." Doctor Thayer colored slightly at this announcement, but spoke as quietly as before. " I have no doubt that Mrs. Paulier died at Mrs. Burkhardt's house, as you have been told." " And that her child died at the poor house, as also I have been told V" asked the attorney excitedly. Doctor Thayer was silent. The lawyer pushed his chair back from the table. "I brought papers to satisfy Mrs. Burkhardt of my right to make inqui ries," he said hastily. "But If you've Anything to tell me you have a right to tie more particular. Besides, she saw and knew me in town as her cousin's attorney. Will you go with me to the Hall, or into the city V where I can find some sureties, I think." "I will go to town," the doctor said. ' Pardon me if I am too careful," he added, with a slight smile. " As a law yer, you cannot but own that I err on the right side. Socially I am satisfied. The hesitation is merely a technical one. There are persons who may suffer dam age by what I have to tell you." " No apology is necessary, sir," the other said heartily, impatient to be off. "Mrs. Burkhardt must have been as tonished to learn the relationship in which Mrs. Paulier stood to her," re marked the doctor, as the two went out. " She was, sir, very much astonish ed," the other replied dryly. " She was so much astonished that she refuses to believe it." " Mrs. Paulier is clearly traced V was the next question, as they bowled over the ground toward the city. " You are sure of her identity V" "Oh, yes I We knew all about her and her little girl, and had them fully identified. She had three children two boys, who died, and this little girl, who was born a month after Mr. Paulier died. Paulier was a worthless sort of fellow, a musician, who ran away with Rose Stanley, thinking to make a for tune by it. Her father never forgave her, but died in a few years, leaving half his wealth to his nephew, the other half to public charities. . The Stanleys are a stubborn race. My client was in love with his cousin." Of course Doctor Thayer had to post pone His visit to the convent, and the next morning, as he rede through the sweet country roads, he recollected that his second visit was to be made on the anniversary of the first. It was Just ten years that very day of June that he had taken bis first stealthy morning drive with, the child beside him. He went over it all again his mind, re membering even how she had watched from big horse up to the reins, from his reins to his hands, then up the sleeve till her bright glauce had made its sud den leap to his face. So absorbed was he in this retrospection that he forgot the years that had passed,andas he went up the avenue that led to the convent, and saw a group of children playing on the terrace, he looked eagerly among themfor Rose. " Bose Blanche she was to be named," he thought, scanning them closely as he "went up the steps. " Is there any one here named Bose Blanche V" he asked of a bright little girl who stood near." " There isn't any little girl of that name,?' the child said, smiling ; " but there is Bister Bose Blanche." Doctor Thayer's cheeks grew pale as he turned abruptly away, and ascended to the door. Full of those sweet, sad recollections, his heart had leaped out to meet that child who had once so loved him. . ; It vas a momentary shock to be forced to recollect that she was no longer a child, and that personally they were strangers ; and it was a still greater shock to think that it might be too late, and that Bose might already have re nounced that world which now offered her so brilliant a future. It seemed to him an hour before the door opened thenheVas impatient of that gentle, moderate way of the nuns, though he had formerly admired it; and when the superior came in, she found him, hat in hand, walking up and down the par lor. "Madam I" he exclaimed, scarcely replying to her greeting, " I am con sumed with anxiety. Has the child I left with you become a nun V" " She will commence her noviciate next week," said the superior tran quilly. "Thank God I am not too late 1" he exclaimed. Immediately apologizing for his ab ruptness, he begged the superior to be seated, and took a chair himself. Their Interview wbb a long one. It was not easy for the religieuae to give up one to whom she had become so warmly attached, and whom she regarded as likely to become a shining ornament in their order. On the other hand, the doctor was peremptory. . " After all, it is not for you and me, but for her, to decide," the nun said. " But I could wish that she need never know of this." " Would you deprive her of such ad vantages V" asked the gentleman, in surprise. The superior smiled. Continued. OLD COINS. DR. GEORGE S.

A CORRESPONDENT of the San Francisco "Bulletin" thus writes : One of the wealthiest settlers in New Caledonia 1b a gentleman from Australia we will call him Mr. Brown for short who went there some ten or twelve years ago with but a small capital, and has be come enormously rich by raising cattle for the markets of Noumea. Mr. Brown was his way through the bush from one of his outlaying cattle stations to another, when he lost his way entirely; wandered about until nightfall, and then came upon a large native village. Here he was hospitably entertained, well fed, and most deferen tially treated by the great chief whose village it was the chief Atal, I think, whom some persons regard as the chief mover and leader of this year's revolt against the French. Atal was all court esy to his white guest, and when night had fully come conducted him hlmgelf in state to the hut set apart for his night's repose. Fortunately.Mr. Brown was acquaint ed with the customs of the country, and among them, knew the common meth od of putting an end to travelers pre paratory to feasting upon them. It is as follows : . . , The traveler is kindly received, noth ing occurs to shake his confidence in his host ; he is allotted a cabin to himself to sleep in. The native huts have usually but one opening, which serves as door and window both. When the traveler is supposed to be well settled in his cabin, this one entrance is set on lire. Being thatched and made altogether of light wood it burns very readily, and the traveler is cooked as well as killed. Then the feast begins. Being acquainted with these details of New Caledonia life, Mr. Brown knew the cabin to which the venerable Atal so courteously led him might probably be come for him both a tomb and a cooking-stove unless his wits could save him. He entered the cabin of the chief, meet ing courtesy with courtesy, till they were both fairly within. Then Brown, in the prime of life and athletic, Atal old and infirm, the Englishman knew that he was more than a match for the sav age. ' He closed the door within the hut, planted his back firmly against it, aud sitting thus with his hand on his revol ver and bis other weapons ostentatious ly displayed, continued his conversation with the chief. 1 - - The situation remained unchanged through the night. A terrible night It was, no doubt, for the Englishman, and almost as bad for the old chief, who again and again requested permission to withdraw. Mr. Brown as frequently declaring he could not part with hlin he should not feel safe except In his company. When daylight was fully come, Mr. Brown felt assured that Atal would not venture to allow his people openly to at tack an Individual so well-known in the settlements as himself, and both Issuing forth together from the hut, he gladly accepted the escort of a native gulde.and was safely conducted to the French set tlements, where his adventure was the theme of considerable interest. A Singular Courtship. Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler, in a recent letter from Greenfield Conn., relates the following interesting incident of its ear ly history: Rev. Stephen Mix made a Journey toNorthamton In 1090,ln search of a wife. He arrived at Rev. Solomon Stoddard's, Informed him of the object of his visit, and that the pressure of home duties required the utmost dis patch. Mr. Stoddard took him into the room where his daughters were, and Introduced him to Mary, Esther, Chris tiana Sarah, Rebecca and Hannah, and then retired. Mr. MIx,addresslng Mary, the eldest daughter, said he had lately been settled at Wethersfleld, and was desirous of obtaining a wife, and conclu ded by offering her his heart and hand. She blushingly replied that so important a proposition required time for consider ation. He rejoined that he was pleased that she asked for reflection, and in order to afford her the needed oppertu nity to think of his proposal, he would step Into the next room and smoke a pipe with her father, and she could report to him. Having smoked his pipe and sent a message to Miss Mary that he was ready for her answer, she came in and asked for further time for consideration. He replied that she could reflect still longer on the subject, and send her answer by letter to Wethers field. In a few weeks he received her reyly,which is probably the most lacon ic epistle ever penned. Here is the model letter, which was soon followed by a wedding : "NOHTHAMTON, 1090. Rev. Stephen Mix Yes. Mary Stoddard." The matrimonial Mlx-ture took place on the 1st of December ,1090, and proved to be compounded of most congenial elements. The Ugliest Man. The late George Lewes was so dread fully homely, that several amusing stories have been related at his expense. One of them is as follows : He was sitting one night at a tavern, when a stranger, not remarkable for personal beauty, came up and begged his acceptance of a handsome snuff-box. " But my dear sir," observed Mr. Lewes, " I cannot accept such a valuable gift from one unknown to me." " Have no hesitation on that account, sir," replied the donor, "the box is yours. I will tell you how I became possessed of it, and you shall Judge for yourself. A friend of mine, dying, left me the snuff box as a legacy. " I give and bequeath to my friend, So-and-So, believing him to be the ugliest man In the world, my silver-gilt snuff-box ; but, if he can dis cover any man uglier than himself, it is my wish he being agreed that the said box shall pass from his possession into that of the uglier man, and so on until the actual ugliest man in the world shall become Its actual possessor." So for as I recollect, those were the terms of my friend's will. You will agree, sir, under the circumstances, that the box belongs to you." Both on the Same Road. A drunkard is called "a bloat," "sot," "a wretch," "a runaway," "a wreck." A moderate drinker is called "a social, genial gentleman a man who will not let his appetite get the better of man hood." The moderate drinker himself heaps anathemas upon the drunkard, and even takes a complacent pride in telling him how he abhors a "sot" What right has an apprentice to make fun or despise a journeyman V What right has the hindmost of two men traveling the same road to make light of or abhor the man ahead ? The mod erate drinker says he takes but a glass to arouse a happy feeling ; the drunkard says he takes but two to do the same thing, having passed the point where one would do. How long will it take to learn that there is but one law control lug the use of ardent spirits, and that the law of increase 1 A Good Account.
