In half an hour, William’s duties were
over,and they left the custom.-house together.
Young Clayton: did’ not ask his companion’s
name, ‘nor’ did the sailor, or tell it; {though
before their walk was ended‘, his anxiety to

know all. about his old friendsiliad — gleaned-»

almost tlie-tr entire history frotn Wi-lliam’s
2:‘:ingen:u‘ou‘sn‘ess:. Yet,‘ though snmervliat‘
prepared, it. was a shock when Mr. Clay-
ton stood before him‘ weak? and tremulous,
,__s_t“i'_i_cl_ren,,_with___age before his time; and he

ed, lying ‘powerless and movcless on.a couch,
with the light of youth fading‘ from‘ his
_' eye,,a_ud_ its_spirit_,dying out of his bosom.
 “ An old friend?” repeated Clayton inqui-
rkin-gly,f'as he gazed ,i‘ntentl’y on the face of "his
visito-r. ’
"=‘§‘Yes-; an obliged and deeply indebted one,
and ti grateful one too, Mr. Clayton,” replied
_ sailor. “ Have you quite forgetten
2 Frank Allen, who owes every thing to your
. kindness '!-” .
“ A feeling came over me at first that it
2 could be no other,” said Clayton, giving» him
. -a- cordial welcome, which was. warmly ech-
;-oed round. _ '
An hour swept atvay all the clouds which
- appeared ‘tohang over F'rank’s conduct to

. his old friends; for he had often written,

but receiving no answer, he had fancied that
Clayton never wished to hear front him ;
_ and when,years after, he returned to the vil-

. lage, he» learned that they had left it, and

could gain no further tidings. His own for-
tunes had been prosperous during the fifteen
, years which had elapse-l since Philip Clay-,
ton acted so kind a part to liirn—-— or ta -
3 eat and l dilirrence had won him the. favor
of all he scriied and sailed with; and so he
. had risen until, two years before, he obtained
the command of a ship.

“ And now. I will not call it chance that

,brought me to this port,” he said; “ it was
some higher influence guided me here, antl
told me at once, when I heard the name to
today, that one of my old friends was near
me—-though it certainly was not William

- that I thought of seeing.”

‘‘ Ah, you would think of me,” observed

_ Harry, with a inottriiful smile. “ Brit my
father and riiother have but one son to work
for them.”

"- No, Harry,” replied Allen, crossing
over to the friend of his boyhood and taking
his hand ; “ they shall have two sorts to work
for thein ‘‘ and in g0O(.l titne ltrust that you
may joinlus as the third.

But all I have I owe. to your father’s gen-I

-ernsitv; he acted towards me as a father;
and deeply grieved shall I b i he w;ll not
allow rneio be as a son to him. Surely,
surely, Mr. Clayton,” he continued earnest-
ly, “you will not refuse to the boy wliotn
your bounty placed in the way of winning
far more than a competeucy—you will not
refuse to him the power of proving his grat-
itude for all that you Iiave done for liitn!
To be a son to you and Mrs. Clayton, and a
brother to your childrcn—ihis is all lwish,
and it would, indeed, be to are a happiness.”

It was the truest gratitude that prompted
the desire, and bade him exert all his elo-
quence to win, as he did at length, the privi-
lege of devoting himself as a son to the pro-
tector of his boyhood For Henry, espe-
cially his heart was grieved ; to see him,
young and gifted, wearing away the spring
time ofhis life in sitffering and sorrow,painerl
him deeply , and he earnestly sought other
and better advice upon his case than the Clay-
toris’ means had enabled them to command.
At length a hope was given that a partial
recovery at least might be attaitied.

With this hope, and the blessings of his
early friends, Frank Allen, at the end of
some iveeks, went on his voyage, happy in
.the consciousness that he left lighter liearts
than he had found. And when, months after,
he returned,there were brightsrnilt.-s to greet
him back, and something of the old light
beginning to beam in I-]arry’s eye, for the
dreary period of lioprslcssness was past, and
he hatl the prospect that in another year he
might once more tread the green turf, and
look upon the sparkling streams; and above
all, essay again to support himself, at least,
instead of remaining in the helpless and
child-like dependence which had so weighed
upon his spirit.

The prospect was not deceptive,and before
Frank left them next, its promise was in
part fulfilled, and young Clayton was
able to move about, with assistance.

“ Philip,” said ‘.\'lt's. Clayton to her hus-
band, as they watched frorri the w n.low Har-

ry leaning on the arm of the friend to whose

aid his recovery was so greatly owing, since
it had involved expenses which they them-
selves could not have tnet ; “ Philip, your
fifty pounds were put out to far better inter-
est than all the other money we ever saved :
the rest is gone. but this remains to bless us.
Little thought I, when I so opposed you, how
rich a rt-.turn y)ur generosity would re-
ceive !”

“Nor I either,” answered Clayton; ‘‘I
never thought of nor sought a return. But
it has come to cheer as in the hour it was
most needed; and now, asl look on those
two, how it brings bark that last night when
Allen and I stood watching our boys; now,
as then, his was the helper of mine; and
I could almost think the very smiles of old,
with all bo_vhood’s cloudless joy, was on
their faces”

He guessed not yet the cause of those
smiles, nor that Frank had just told Harry
how his own der-p,true love had won that of
Violet, and that ere long he hoped to claim
by right the titles of- son and l.')l'Ol.l‘le[‘ in the
family of his adoption. '

Jenny Lind’s visit to the l\’lammotl-i Cave,
says : “ We learn that she appeared fully to
appreciate the magnificence and grandeur
displayetl in the arches, domes, and vast ex-
tent ofthe sl1l)lLl'l‘tJllt‘t)n passages and rooms
ofthe Cave, and to feel a consciousness that
God was present. VVhile regarding the
sublimity of the scene, the rnanifestations of
Divine wot-krrianship, and reflecting upon
the utter inability of art to rival the splendor,
beauty and wisdom displayed around her,
she sank down in silent adoration, and paid

.._ homage to that power \\_'l]lCl1 had created all
these‘ wondrous vrorks”

Good IzZea.—To obviate the danger incur.
red by persons living in a light house on
such an exposed situation as l\'liuot’s Ledge
it is proposed to have a gas light erectetl
there. lt would only require. a small tubular
shaft of the desired heighth, presenting no
unnecessary surface to the force of the winds
anrl waves, and suitable gas works upon the
shore and pipes for feeding the light. The
gas could be shut oil‘ by day, partially and
mostly, and let on by night at the gas works,
so as to avoid the t-xposure of life by frequent
resort to the lr-dge. The distance through
which the gas might be conveyed would be
of comparative trifling COnS(qllt‘llCe in the
expenditure, when weighed by that of a
‘structure for a common light.

 

E7m'.gi'a.linn Conli-/tuerl.—'l‘he Dublin cor-

During the last week the crowds of emi-
grants on the qriays of Dublin have been
more numerous than lieretnforc, ernbt‘ar:in,r_r
whole families, bi.-tiring all the appcarariccs
of health and comfort, and altogether‘ of a
superior class to those who have lef. in pre-
vious years. Many of the emigrants are
farmers of the better class, from the coriii-
tics of VVickl0\v, Mouth and Kllrlare who
have their t~fi'ec.ts, and are taking sums of
money with them. In fact the eniigration
is bt-coining a mania amongst El class who
are not forced by stern necessity to leave the

§fi§= lti Columbus, Ohio, on the 20:h, a
person got possession of one of the late
Governor Bcebee's blank requisitions for fri-

and directed it to Thomas Spencer, :1 well
known cattle dealer This etiragerl Spencer‘
and some one, to carry on the joke, told him
that it was George Parcels, the bar-keeper
of _ the Franklin He imniedintely went to
where Parcels was,and demanded of liirii
if he had “ filled up that paper." l\'lr. Par-

was about passing out of a door, when
Spencer drew a revolver and shot him
dead.

An Enlivcni/lg Scene at Sea-.——l\’lr. Clay
received a fine compliment fioin a U. States
frigate while on his passage frorii Havanna
to New Orleans. The steamer Ohio, on
which he was a passcngci',h-aving overhaul-
ed the steam frigate Szrranac late in the eve-
ning, the latter was illurninatco with large
battle lights i'ore and aft,and during the pas-
sing of the Ohio, fired a salute of thirteen
guns and four valleys of triusketry in honor
of Henry Clay. The firing of rockets and
the burning of blue lights so illurniriaterl
the ships that the people cotild be distinctly
recognised from the decks of each vessel.-
Three cheers were given by the passengers
of the Ohio, which were answt-red by the
crew of the Saranac. The stillness of the
night and the caliiincss of the water lent en-
chantrncnt to the scene, which is represerited
to have been one of the most magnificent ever
seen atsea.

 

_ Bang/it of 1lclvc7'lising.—'fhe following
instance of the advantage arising frotn a ju-
dicious systern of advertising, is given by
the Philadelphia Inquirer Such ‘instances
are by no means rare:

“A member‘ of a leading firm in South
Third street, yesterday informed us thata
few days since be commenced advertising by
the year in the columns of the Inquirer,_.
His. first advertisement had been pulished
but a few hours, when it attracted the atten-
tion of a stranger who immediately called at
his office, and after a conversation of ac-few
rninutcs, made a, purchase, on which our
friend realized a profit of eleven lmndrerl
dollars! This is an undoubted fact, and it
speaks volumes as to the value of adver-
tising.”

The Senate went into Ctiiiveution with
the other House for the choice of State

Mr. Osgood of Pomfret called the attention
of the President to the fact that one more
vote had been cast than there were. merirbr-rs
of the Convcntioit qualified to vote, and
demanded that measures be adopted to rectify
the error.

Hon. Mr. Mitr-hell thought there were ‘.245
members of the Convention, and there being
no evidence that they were not kill prescrit
thought the ballot not voirl——at any rate it
would riialce no dillrrciice with the result as
there was 21 irrajoiiiy of five.

Some conv:-rsation occurred as to whether
Hon. Mi‘ Carly of Ashfortl was present ; and
it being (‘UllCt'(lC(l lllal he was not, Mr. l_<oa:'d-
man sizggested to the President that as there
had bct~‘li fraurltilr-nt voting, and llir: crowd of

br.-rs that it was (lifflC'tllI to ascertain who were
entitled to vote, measures be taken to protr-ct

The President directed the floor of the
House to be clcarcd.

M r. Osgood moved that the roll he called;
adopted.

The roll was then called, when it was
ascei'taitiritl that all the members of the Con

On motion of Hon Mr. Mitchell, the b:il~
lot for Governor was‘ declared void and a

_ The true remedy for the evil complained of.
