in the open air, she gave free vent to her
pent-up grief in loud sobs. She was
startled by the appearance of Horace,
who asked in alarmed tones, “what has
happened, Madam Leland’? What of
Grace? .._is she worse '3”
“ I am not Madam Leland,” murmur-
ed Rosa, in a subdued tone, checking her
tears as she recognized Horace ; “but
Rosa, the daughter of Judge Stanton, the
woman must have known,
and learned perhaps, to despise. And I
wonder not if it is so, can easily forgive

Lifting the murky veil partly from her
face, only above the small, dimpled mouth
and the softly curved chin, the beautiful
woman continued ;
“All my life have I been subjected to
niortification on my father’s accouiit.—
Yes, when a little child, I was iaiiutcd
by other children with the mocking words
“Ali! your father ran away and left your

“My mother was a gentle creature, a
loving woman, and when I grew silent
and avoided all mention of my father,
she i.houglit my resolute will was brought
into subjection to her silent teachings,
for oh, this great sorrow made her meek
as a lamb; yes, it broke her free spirit,
and brought her mind into most cruel

weep like an infant, as she felt that all

upon my father, as he stood above the
I-orpse of his only child,almost in despair
with the tears coursing down his time-

“O! I see, I feel you are beginning to
pity me.”
“I do pity you,” whispered the young
man, violently affected.
“And then at last my poor old grand-
father died, iuouriiing for his unhappy
i-liild. Over his death bed, above his
wifllll lid, beside his new made grave, I
vowed to follow after this cruel father;
to pursue him relentless, to make him

i-lierishing such feelings towards his in-

“\Vliy are you come so early T” ask-
ed Grace, as Horace entered her primi-
tive little home; and she botinded to-
wards him with a sweet. smile.
“Because I an sad every moment that
I am away from you.”
“You promised me you would talk no
more in that way,” she said, her face iii-
stantly sobering, “I am happy if you on-
ly call me sister; you know,” she added
iiiournfull_,', “I can never, never he ought
else to you.”
“Grace, dear,yoti tell me you love me
as a brother; are you certain you love
me '3”
The bright blood rushed to her cheeks
and her glance was so full of her reproof
that his heart smote him for asking the
question.
“It is almost cruel of you to ask me
that," she murmured, “you know—you
must know lio\v purely and tenderly I
regard you, dear brother; who else have
I to love but my father and you. Come,
to please you, I will go back to my fath-
er’s house; I will live where you say,
only still, I implore you, be a brother to
poor Grace,”
I-Iorace caught eagerly at this oppor-
tune suggestion,
“Yes,” he replied, still cautiously grave
“yes, the cavern is too gloomy for me;
it depresses my spirits; burl have some.
thing to propose to you better even than
returning to your father’s. I am going
home to New York, but not to stay,” he
added quickly, noticing her flasliing
eye. “Now sister Grace, you shall be a
life long, a dear, a sweet sister to me, if
you will only consent to journey with
me to my native city fo' 3. while.”
“I go with you? I whom every body
shrinks from, and even abliors? You
must be crazy!” she exclaimed with im-
perturable gravity,” “I go with you to
New York and alone .9”
'_‘Then you fear to trust me,”murmur-
ed Horace, chidingly.
“O! no, no, no,” she replied, with en-
ergy, “no, my brother, I trust in God and
you.”
Overjoyed at .liis success, Horace
sought the judge and communicated his
plan of removing Grace and taking her

But she was doomed to be disappoint-
ed in her calculations; the chaiicellor
would not agree that the ceremony should
take place in New York, he disliked
publicity and ostciitatioii; so they were
married in a private parlor, in the Hotel,
and the sauie day the parties set out tip-
on their Nortlicrn tour.
Ilorace, with his coriipany had prece-
ded them; they arrived iii New York
some days before the chancellor, and the
journey seemed quite to have bcnelitted
the dear invalid.
The pliysiciaii who undertook the case
was a inaii of strong nerve, and resolute
mind. Full of syuipatliy for the suffer-
ing, his heart prompted him to do the
utmost for so melaiiclioly a subject; he
inquired with the most careful miiitite-
ness into all the circumstances attending
the coninieiicemeiit of her malady, exain-
ined her rciiiotest symptoms, and confi-
dently promised a cure.
She gained upon his good graces eve-
ry day, and his attentions and exertions
for her health were unremitting, and by
little and little she learned to converse
with calniiiess_
By degrees they began to introduce
losa in their coiivci'satioii, and though
at first almost violent, she soon listened
with composiire, and finally, though with
ti‘eiribliiig, consented to meet her formal-
ly.
This trying ordeal once safely passed,
and there was no furtlier fear; once di-
vested of the supposition of her sisters
tleadly hate and desire to injure her—she
might be accounted perfectly restored.

situated. It is - sec wliat ef-
forts the Pzipal power is now iiiaking to

tliings. The marriage edict iii I’riissia
and the common struggle in this country
are cases in points. The question in dis-
pute has been partially settletl by the aii-
thorities of the Canton of Tessiuo, in
which the seiiiiiiaries are situated, who
have permitted the Bishops to sue in the
civil court.~1 for the ac;.ual pecuniarydai'n-
ages they have sustained.
Austria complains of the expulsion of
Capucliin iuoiiks from the Canton of
Tessino, and demands their restoration.
Switzerland insists on the perfect right,
whicli, as an independent power, she has
of expelling any individuals whose acts
or immoral condtict she may consider
dangerous. The monks, she declares,
have been found guilty of plotting agaiiist
the Government. She tlierefore refus.es
to reinstate them or grant them a peli-
sion for life, but, in consequence of some
pecuniary losses which they may have
possibly sustained, offers to give to the
eight expelled Capiicliiiis, asmall pension
for three years.
In reply to this offer, Austria expels
from Lombardy every native of Tessiiio,
who had settled there, amotiiitiiig to
about five thousand, who were general-
ly industrious and poor people, guilty of
no political crime. They are driven
from their small possessions or ordinary
livelihood, and compelled to return to
Switzerland in a state of destitiition.——
Iuimediately after the iiisiirrectionary
movement in Milan, in last February,
Austria drew a cordon of troops around
the frontiers of the Canton and t.liiis pre-
vented the return of the Tessiiiese, or
the transiuission of provisions to them in
Switzerland.
Under the pretence that the disturb-
ance in l\/Iilan was produced by persons
from Tessino, Austria then dcinaiidcd of
Switzerland, that every political refuge
should be driven from the Canton, and
that those who were kiiowu to have ex-
cited the I\Iilan ll1Elll‘l‘E‘Cl.lOl'l, should be
expelled from the whole of Swit7.e;‘laiid;
that all the arms found in Tessiiio should
be confiscated; and that all the citizens
of that Canton who were connected with
the Milan insurrection should be severe-
ly puiiished.
To these demands, Switzerlaiid replied
by sending a person to Tessiiio to C-l1’lqllll.'3
if the Canton had broken their treaty of
iieutiality; and assented to the expulsion
of political refugees as demanded; and
promised an attention to every iiitcriia-
tiorial duty wliicli their neutrality requi-
red.
Notwitlistaiidiiig this compliance, Aus-
tria continiicd her blockade, and still no-
ctiscd ilie Canton of fonientiiig the dis-
turbance in Milan and of liarboriiig tlic
revulutionists. A long iiegotiation, with
its accusations and replies, here ensued,
in which the Swiss Governmeiit attemp-
ted to show Austria how mticli they lizid
done to prevent iiisurrectionary attempts
and seize iiisurrectionary leaders. But
to all these asseverations, Austria turned
a deaf ear, and still further demaiided a
security for the ftitiire, being a promis:c
to remove refugees from the Cantoiis, at
the demand of Atistria. The-blockade
could not be raised or even alleviated uri-
til these demands had been first complied
with; and there was no promis.e that it
wotild only be taken into consideration
then, upon an arrangement of the sub-
jects of the seminaries and the expelled
Capucbins. This blockade is
as to prevent all trade or intercourse
with Italy, a commerce essential to the
SO severe
very existence of the Tessinese.
To these arrogant demands the Swiss
Government replied that it was inconsis-
tent with their lionor and dignity to sub-
mit, and suspended all diplomatic inter-
course. Such has been the situation of
affairs for some weeks or months past—
the blockade still continuing in all its
strictiiess, and all negotiations being
over.
Such is the executive report. The
legislative body iinmcdiaiely appointed a

Persia. The city of Tauriz contains
about 49,000 iiiliabitauis. Its possession
would serve to strengthen the circle
which Russia is drawing around both
Turkey and Persia. It is too remote to
have niucli effect on the Indian question.
Upon the whole, war is a little more

\/Vc noticed last week the recent ‘hor-

time the negro belonging to Scott had
not been taken. lie was caught in the
prairie about fifteen miles from Carthage
taken to town and tried, and was found
guilty, although he refused to make any
confession. The negro belonging to
Dale had previously coiifessed the whole
matter. They decoyed Dr. Fisk from
home, by pretending that Mr. Dale’s
child was sick, and they had been sent
for him. He had gone but a little way
when one of the iiegroes knocked him on
the head with an axe and killed him---
Tliey both went to the house, one ofthem
knocked Mrs. Fisk down with his flst,
and after brutally accoriiplisliiiig their de-
sires on her, killed her with the same axe
that killed her liusbzind, choked the child
to death, set fire to the house in two

The Effect of a ‘Var in Europe on
this Country.
The effect of a general war in Europe
upon our country would be various.—
Our commerce would undoubtedly be
subjected to many interruptioiie and eni-
barrassments. perhaps to some plunder-
ing, under the plea of the violation of_
real or fictitious blockades. Still on this
point, we stand on a very different foot-
ing froin what we did during the great
European wars, fifty years ago. We are
more respected and more feared abroad
and privaleers and belligerent cruisers
would be more disposed now, than then,
to refrain from any injtiry to our com-
merce. G
Our first duty would be, to keep clear
of the war. We could gain nothing to
ourselves or to the cause of liberty, by an
interference. If we may trust the last
reports, the Czar and the other arbitrary
sovereigns, have no desire to have otir
Government mingle in European contest
and they would refrain from any measure
that would impel us to take part.
If we do thus keep ourselves clear of
the fight, the commercial advantages
would be very great. The carrying
trade would be ours; England would
seek for our breadstiiffs because she would
lose the grai_n of the Black Sea; a change
would take place in the relations in
which we should stand to that power,
and more favors of a commercial kind
would be granted. Funds, however. would
be lower, and there would be no market
abroad for otir stocks and bon(ls—pt-rhaps
even the payment of those now held in
England would be deuiaiided. The
peaceful, commercial relations, now ex-
isting all over the civilized word, would
be broken up, and it would be strangein-
deed if our nation did not rise on the ru-
ins of others.-Cozrmnt.

Album Tragedy.—A man named
Pierson, residing on VVest_‘,- Side,
ted friends
was taken tip and tried last Saturday,
upon acliarge of drunkenness and disor-
derly coiiduct. He was fined and com-
mitted to jail, in default of payment.
At the time of his lodgment in jail,
his nerves were in a highly excited state
although he seemed to be entirely ration-
al. But the next morning (Sabbath
niorni.ug,) when the keeper of the jail
entered his cell, a horrible spectacle
blasted his sight. The miserable man
was found lying in his blood, dead upon
the floor-—liis brains beaten out by his
frantic efforts against the walls which
confined him——beaten out in all proba-
bility in it fit of delirium tremens, or of
Maniaapotzo. His wife——for he had a
wife—ca,me up to jail early in the morn-
ing, prepared to bail him out, and this
was the spectacle which greeted her.

They are capable of
calculating interest and selling stock from
their infancy. Our present Secretary of
the Treasury is one of these astute indi-
viduals. To ease the money market, he
offered to take some five millions of gov-
emment Stocks at a premium of 21 per
cent until next December. Now, if U.
S. stock should fall between this time
and December, how much would be Un-
cle Sam’s loss? As it is, the Govern-
me!“ pay $l,21 for that, for which they
realized only $100, which, in five mil-
lions of dollars, makes a dead loss to gov-
ernment of $1,050,000-— 70m'a/zt.

cial Advertiser, which was plucked from
this venerable tree.
The Providence -IOl1l'Il:|I, in noticing the
testimony bcf‘ore the coi'oiicr’s jury in the case
of the late railway accident, says :
“ It appears that Mr. Putnam, the con

brakeman, and was placed in cliurge of
the train on abrakeman’s salary, thirty
dollars a month; that he was not provi.

and, through the influence of disinteres-
he laid at the feet of the

ey and rent-roll. The bait was too
tempting to be rejected. ‘The engage-

sation. The lady’s mother was caution-
‘ed against the connection, but the rent-
roll won the day The weding took

About nineteen years ago, Franklin
Gray married the widow of a respecta-

senior, but a showy and intelligent lady.
It was the same Mr. and Mrs. Gray
who was mixed up in the rumored at-
tempt to poison with champagne Gen.
Santa Ana, whena prisoner, after his
capture at San Jacinto. He came to
Arkansas from Texas and lived in that
State from 1837 until this affair at Hel-
ena. Often wretchedly poor, and ek-
iiig out a living by the precarious result
of his profession, his wife, who heartily
abhorred their means of existence, be-
came dissatisfied, and Gray and herself
quareled and seperated. Gray became
rich, and married the beautiful Miss
French, without having a divorce, and
the first Mrs. Gray went to New York
and threatened a prosecution for bigamy
against her legal husband. His will in
favor of his second wife will be legally
.tested by the party claiming priorty as

The New Motive Power.
VVe have already referred to the iii-
veniion of a new motive power, from
which its projectors anticipate great re-
sults. The force applied is magnetic at-
traction, and the_power is applicable in
driving machinery, locomotion, naviga-
tion, and all other purposes for which
steam is employed. It is also used for
lighting and warming. The great ad-
vantage of this power is its cheapness,
nothing being consumed, and costing
nothing in generatingjt. The machine
has been employed to the magnetic tele-
praph with entire success. An engine
is nearly completed to test the invention
as a motive power on a large scale. The
stock is in the hands of the shrewdest
business men in Providence, and so
miicb confidence is felt in the success of
the experiment that shares the original
cost of which was $50, have changed
hands at $250. If it answers the ex-
pectations of its friends, limits can hard-
ly be put to its value, if it fails it will
be in the category of many other good
tliings___P7-ovidence Journal.
From the Norwich E ~.umz27n.er.
A respected correspondent thus writes from
the western part of the state :
" The appearance of The Examiner is
highly pleasing to uie. It is received in
this region with great favor. VVe have
needed for some tiiue an organ of pre-
cisely this. character, to take high ground
on matters of Education and Moral Re-
form, and to maintain it with inanliness
and dignity. The cause of Temper-
ance has suffered more from weak and
.ill-judged advocacy than from its natural
enemies. It is especially important that
the leadership in such matters should be
snared,=at least, by tliorouglily christian
men. The Infidels and Errorists of the
day are making an amouiitof capital for
.-uliemselves, indirectly, by their advocacy
on Moral Reforms, which they never co’d
gain otherwise. Every _lieart-stirring
appeal an infidel makes for temperance.
operates in thousands of iiiidiscriuiina-
ting minds to command infidelity. Those
who hear him, say ‘a maxi who speaks
so admirably on this point cannot be very
wrong anywhere.’ So certainly it
works—aiid while we by no means de-
ny the riglit of such men to labor for
huinanity, btit rather welcome them, we
onglit to be stirred up to identify every
good, humane cause, also, with true
cliristianity.”
