Gertrude was installed in her new position as the danghter of the bouse. She walked slowly along, with her hands clasped behind her, and her head drooping forward slightly npon her breast —ter nsual attitude when bnried in thought. She was thinking of one whom she had met at school, whose glad, young life bad become strangely entwined with hers. Strangely, I say, for never were two human beings more unlike than Gertrude Hamilton and Oliver Camp.

For one moment they 'stood before him, clasped in eacH other's ! arms. And then their lips met in a long j farewell kiss, and—Oliver was gonel Gertrude stood for a moment in silence, 'listening to hU retreating footsteps.— Then, dashing the tears away, that began to fill her eyes, she looked steadily and sternly at her father, and went away to her own room.

by her father’s death, the heiress of all ho possessed. Dut one journey remained to be accomplished, and she had no thoughts that reached beyond , the day when she should stand beside her lover’s grave. It was on a cold and rainy evening that she reached her destination; The home of: her childhood, deserted for ever, lay far behind her towards the rising moon, and before her stretched out the boundless prairie far as the eye could reach. From the doorway of a Httlo lonely cabin, look* jug like a small black speck in the grassy desert, she stepped forth with the poor English-woman by her side, hand had closed his dying eyes. • - ‘■It was a hard thing fer one so young to die so far away from bis home arid friends,” said tue kind-hearted woman, wiping her eyes. “We were very poor, and he was very kind to ns. Sidney was like water with him, and hishcait-—But there is his gravel” She added, abruptly, as they came upon a mossy mound with no atone at its head. Gertrude Maned back with'a norvons shudder. The woman glided away, and the two so long parted, were together once more.

The following account of an incident which has been generally mentioned in the papers, is given by Rov. C. Cooks, of the Green Street Methodist Episcopal Church. Philadelphia, in a letter to the Pittsburg Christain Advocate: “Just as I was in the application of my sermon, Sept. 7th, when a deep solemnity seemed to rest npon the congregation, & man entered the door opposite the middle aisles, and depositing his bat in a pew, walked deliberately into the altar, and taking bis position in front of tho communion-table, drew a five or six-bar-;rel revolver from beneath bis coat. Op to that moment 1 had continued to speak, though the movements of the intruder had evidently gotten (be attention of the people. -As hedrow his pistol out, some suppored he was going to shoot me, some that he was a madman about to shoot in to tho congregation, and whatotbers thought it is difficult to tell! Some fell to the floor to be screened from bullets, some wero petrified with fear, many rushed for the doors, and many frightened females and children ’screamed without stint of lungs; Tho poor fellow, however, had no intention of injuring any one but himself. As 1 stood immediately above him, I saw him distinctly tom bis pistol and place tho mnzzel against his left breaill Fortunately for him and 'others,* tba cap mashed without exploding,' and before he had time to re-arrange for the fulfillment of his suicidal purpose, the deadly weapon was taken from him. Every barrel was loaded, and two of. them doubly so!

For a year he gave evidence of a genuine reformation: Ho has recently fallen again, and doubtles under a tense of shame and remorse, more than half demented, selected the ialtar.of God on which to immolate himself as a desperate aUonement.to the Churchl ' He is now in* a hospital.”

CHAPTER If.' :

Seven long years passed slowly away. To some they brought new life and pleasure—to others sorrow, suffering, ond death. To Gortmdo Hamilton they only gave an heritage of care and concealed grief—a farrow on hef open brow, and a silvery hair or two in the brown locks that were now smoothly banded away from her face, instead of hanging in the wild luxuriance to which she had accustomed them in her earlier years. And this was only an outward token of the inward change. Never were there two more different beings than the girl of eighteen, and the woman of twentyfive. Tall, grave, and stately, with a look of melancholy yearning, and inward pain, in her proud dark eyes, Gertrude moved about her homelike one in a dream. But,her thoughts were no longer with tho bright-haired enthusiast who had won her love. Sho could only veil her eyes and : weep'whenever that vision of beauty glimmered before ber. For the brilliant race was run, and under tbc soda of tho prairie, many, many miles away, the careless hands of strangers bad pillowed the young head (hat should have been lying upon ber breast.

t3T Negro property tsji a Virginia exchange, is 'becoming so precarious, owing to the machinations of the AboH< lionises, the slaveholders of Western Virginia are generally taking measures to guard'against their lots by disposing of them to those who will carry them beyond the reach of the Underground Railroad. A few days since Mr. Joseph 8. Machir sold to Messrs. Stern, of Richmond, fifteen slaves, old and young, for the sum ef ♦8,115., Mr. Win. Love also sold to the same geritlemcn two likely girls and a boy for 82,450.

Site sank upon her knees, and for the first time since she had knelt at her nurse's knee, sho prayed. Beside that grave, whore her dearest hopes and fairest dreams were lying, tho way of Eternal Life was made plain, and an angel's hand reached down from Heaven to'.guide her thither. Was it not better thus? My own heart answers yes, as I think of ono'now lost forever in tho wide world. Far bettor to meet him happy, Gertrude; in that wild prairie solitude-—to know that the sins and sorrows of earth could never touch him more—than to sit in tho gathering twilight as csch weary day goes by, and look and long for ono who comes not —for one whoso steps maypassyour very door, and yet never spring to greet you again. To look npon the marble brow and quiet lip —lo press our lips to the sod above the buried head, and water it with our tears—this may ho bard, and yet how incomparably blest is pno who mourns like this, over one to whom a '■death in life" ban como in its most grievous form. There are two graves now npon tho prairie, and the fame moss-grown stone shelters both. Poor Gertrude! “After life’s fitful fever sho Bleeps well." And as I paused betide those lonely graves, when the first blossoms of (he snmmcr wore'burstmg into bloom, and heard the simple storv I hava related, from the lips of tfrf poor woman wnoelosed mo ujnSg eye of lover and .beloved, I could not help sighing, ns I thought of ono in- a distant land whore name is never on my lips, hut always in my heart.

Thb Patent OrncE.—The Patent Office, at Washington, furnishes gratifying evidence of the mechanical ingenuity of uhr countrymen, which appear! to be more active than-in any nation in the world. . The number of applications for. the present year is nearly five thousand. Id 1855, in; Great Britain, the number was 2,968. and in France 4,050. There has been in this country auannual average' issue for the four years previous to tbh year of 1,850 patents. Some of these doubtless are of no great account, bat the mechanical conveniences brought out ov*•, ery day will show that by far the greater part are real labor saving and ceonomiod machines. .

Gertrude sat in her easy chair Vy the parlor window, one snowy evening in the early part of winter. Through the fold* ing doora of tho dining-room, a bright fire could be seen sparkling in the grate, and- adding another charm to the neatly arranged tea-table, that awaited tho coming of tire master of the house. The fire also'bomed brightly in the room where Gertrude sat, and‘sho had'turned away from the blaze to watch the pure white snowflakes as they foil, and wonder why her father did not como frbm the office.

Musical Flab.

A writer in the Bombay Times states that while sailing in a boat oh a stream near Bombay, tho party of which he was one were startled by the sound of music, which they believed to proceed from the near shore, bat which proved subsequently to come from the surface of the water all around tho vessel. The found was like a musical bell or the strain of an iEolian _. r , itiat t that tho sounds were produced by fish abounding in the muddy creeks and shoals aroiutd Bombay and ft also.'to, perfectly well known and very often heard. Accordingly on inclining the ear toward the water—or by placing it close to the planks of the vessel—the notes appeared lond and distinct, and followed each other in constant succession. The boatmen next day produced specimens of the fish—a creature closely redoubling in size and fdmpe tho fresh water perch of the north of Europe—spoke of them as plentiful and perfectly well known. It is hoped that they mry he procured alive, and the means afforded of determining how the musical sounds are produced and emitted with other particulars of interest supposed utm iii ichthyology. Of the perfect accuracy with which tho singular facta above related have been given, so doubt will be entertained, when it is mentioned that the writer of the account was one of a party of five intelligent perrons^by nil of whom they were most carefully observed, and the impressions of all of whom in regard to them were- uniform. It is supposed that the fixh are confined to particular local it estuaries and mnddy Creeks, rarely visited by Em open ns; and that is tho reason why hitherto no mention, so far na wo know, has been made of the, peculiarity in any work on natural history.

A False-|Cry. It Ir amusing to hear conceited politi qalbucksterR, who are incapable of com* ptvhcnding the first glimmering of a mjivcrfial princijile, and who know no imre about tho fundamental bases of govern* ment, the causes which evolve national progress, and tho laws which govern social -development, than, a donkey knows of the Newtonian theory,, talking about disunion—the "overthrow of this glorious Confederacy,” and much more nonsense of theMmo' sort. Any raan who believes it poitiile tor the American Union to be dissolved, has notyot cut his eyeteeth. The thing cann'ot be done: patriotism, decency, affection, and, above all, the selfish intereaU of those who govern, are against it. ‘ The crazeil diMiiiionists who offend Jibe general bar with their blatant clamor, are blit the scum and-sedi-ment of, the' population, the great bnrrcnt of which flows on all the purer and healthiei for having despumated the:one and precipitated the other.
