atautly to Mrs. Stevens! Ask to speak to Miss Louisa, and tell her it is my desire that she return home with you immediately. Stay—call at Ford's and take a fly; go in it and return in it. A pretty night assize-night is, for women to bo in the streets,’ muttered the discomfited lawyer. No sooner had Nancy departed than there came a rnt-tat-tat to the street-door, and in walked the Rev. Mr. Whistler, ushered in'by the cook, who, to her own mortification,'happened that day,' of all days in tho year, not tho have "cleaned” herself. The lawyer, started, and Clara stared, for the parson had arrayed himself in evening attire, white kid gloves, silk stockings, tights, and pumps. He went all over as red as hu hunting-coat, and sat down dreadfully embarraosad,feeling convinced he had mistaken the night, and ready to swear—if he had not been a parson —at his own stupidity. Clara asked if be would take a cop of tea, and be stammered that be would, though ho baled tea like poison. * You must allow me to congratulate you, sir,’ he began, believing ho was expected to say something about the wedding and clearing his throat to help overcome hts diffidence. T ara sorry not to have bad that pleasure this morning. . . Lawyer Freer knew of no cause for congratulation‘save the verdict in favor of Mrs. Agatha Needham. 'Thai, k you,’ he said, ‘it is-not a pleasant thing to lose a cause,’

was in the pantaloons he had left at home. Clara Freer went off into strong fays(erics, and the lawyer into an explosion of stronger expletives. The clergyman came in for hts share of the latter, Mr. Freer insisting that ho ought to have ascertained whether the note really came from him, before marrying a child like Louisa to a graceless medical student. - ‘How could I suspect anything wrong?’ humbly deprecated the Reverend Simon. "The handwriting was like a lawyer’s, andof course I thought it was yours. I heard sometime ago that Air. Elliot waa paying hts addresses to one of your daughters, so that when the note' came, it seemed a natural sequence. I am very sorry now, and would - join in undoing the wedding if I could. Is it any use following them? I’ll go in pursuit for one, if yon like, sir. My hunter’s as fresh as a daisy to-night.

| XSTTbe e arrived in New York city ; a few days l inco a resident of Illinois one .hundred aul Un years of age, who had I walked the intire distance from his home ’in that Stale. The greatest day’s travel upon this tedious journey was twelve I miles. Tb< old gentlemen came to visit I the east end of Long Island, in search of I Ms services in tho revolutionary struggle jby which to establish Ms claim to a peu'sion. The reason of bis walking was \ that he wou Id not incur the risk of shortening Ms m >rt*l career by riding on railroads. So strong was his prejudice against thi mode of conveyance, that whilein tho upper part of New York city and desiring to go down to the Brooklyn ferries, on! is way to bis destination on Long Islanc, he could not bo induced to Iridoin the Second Avenue horse-power I railroad can, but walked down, crossed | tbo ferry, anl press*! on to the end of bis ■journey.

CHAPTER HI.

Ncarford assizes came on. Ami late on the evening of the first day, Monday, a confiiential note from Lawyer Freer was. delivered to the Reverend Simon Whistler, calling upon him to perform the marriage ceremony between Ms youngest daughter and Mr. Thomas Elliot the following morning at ten. Sir. Freer added a request that the matter might bo kept strictly secret, for reasons of which he would himself Inform him when they met the following day. Now, if the Reverend Simon bad an objection to perform one part of Ills clerical duties, it was that of tying tbc nuptial knot. Baptism be did not mind, burials he was quite at borne in, but a gay wedding was Ms aversion, for the Indies and their fine clothes scared all his nerves and ret them shaking. So be groaned aloud when ho read the lawyer’s letter, but was forced to resign himself to wbst there was no help for. On Tuesday morning, at twenty-five minutes past nine precisely. Lawyer Freer bustled into tho town-hall; in tho wake of two counsellors, especially retained for Mrs. Agatha Needham. That lady herself, escorted by her nephew, and accompanied by several maiden friends, also arrived, just as the learned baron, who presided at Xiti Privt, look his seat, With difficulty places were found for Mrs. Needham’s party, for the court was crammed all the town being anxious to beat the great cause tried. 'And now, aunt, as you arc comfortably fixed, 1’It be off to the infirmary for an hour. It’s my day to go round tho wards with the surgeons.’ ■Why, Thomas!’ uttered the startled Mrs. Agatha, 'you’ll never think of leaving lift improve.;,;! Mr. Dicks will excuse you on s.'i ::rr-r.nn occasion as this. Those goiuicir.t'n in wigs are staring here very unpleasantly already. How extremely -.i/ly they are!’ 'Stui - eg. nro they)*-cried Tom. *I'il go an.: ;iiat. Just one moment, aunt; you’ll take no harm. Back in a brace of shakes.* At ten o’clock the Reverend Mr. Whis. tier was in tit. Luke’s vestry, putting on his surplice. He had not to wait long for the wedding party. It consisted only of Mr. Elliot,'Louisa Freer (iu her everyday clothes, and a thick black veil), and a strange gentleman as groomsman. 'Tins is sadly unfortunate, Mr. Whistler,' began Tom, in hia off-hand manner; *My aunt's cause is on, and everybody’s at it. Mrs. Agatha is in court, Miss Freer; and other witnesses. Mr. Freer of course is obliged to be there. He's excessively annoyed,.charged me with bis compliments to you, and trusts that his absence would make no essential difference.’

[For the Indiana BerdUe.

Ms. fewros:—In my Iat« communication about the ill-rated "Steamer Redstone.” which you were kind enough to publish, reference was made to the three young men of Lawrenceburgh who perished in that fearful cstastrophy. They, as you are aware, after much search were found and brought home and buried side by side among their slumbering friends in the City Burying Ground, of Lawrencebugb, lad., and a beautiful monutntnl erected by the young men of the City, marks their resting place. A few days ago, for tbc first time, 1 stood beside it. It is a , beautiful square pyramidal rouble shaft, with the following inscriptions— rrried'in el literotfm—on one side:

Alas, alas, how Trail is human hope ami life. Frail as a fleeting breath, Quick as a thought men often pass away To the repose of death; The fond pursuit of pleasure, weeilh or fame Presents no “Plea in Bar," 'And oh! bow sor.n an unexpected sad eunl The brightest prospects mar.

A lady with a crinoline was walking down the street, her feathers flattered iu the air, her hoops stuck out a feet; - She walked the earth'as if she felt of it she was no part, and proudly did she step along,for pride was in herheait, She did. not see a curly dog which walked close by her side, all save the bushy tail of which her crinoline did hide. His tail the dog with pleasure shook—-it fluttered in the wind, and from I he.lady’s crinoline stuck out a foot behind. A crowd the tail soon did espy, as it waved to and fro, and like a rudder seemed to point which way the maid should go. The curly dog. right pleased was he such quarters be bad got, and walked beside the lady in a sort of doggish trot. Each step the lady now did take served to increase her train, while those who followed in her wake roared out with might and, main. Some held their sidps and laughed so hard, and many fairly cried, and many even still confess, • that day they’d ‘like to died.’ But still the lady sailed along, in crinoliuo and pride, unmindful of the crowd behind, or dog close by her side, tint soon another dog espied the tail which fluttered free—it go provoked his doggish ire he could not let it be—but ivith a deep ferocious growl, for battle straight he went, and ’neath the lady’s crinoline both dogs were quickly pent. They fought 'tis said, one hour or more—the lady nothing knew, but with her head erect sailed on, and did her way pursue. Some say she never would hare known at all about the fight, had not one dog mistook and gave her ‘limb* an aw* ful bite. But since that day I’ve heard it said, the lady ne’er was seen, upon the street, with so much pride—and tuch a crinoline.

‘Indeed it is not/ answered the parson. T remember when my sister was married, my mother and the bridesmaids cried all day.’ The attorney looked up with undisguised astonishment, and Miss Freer was certainly laughing. He felt sure it was at those wretched tights, and pushed his legs under Mi chair, as far aa be could, without overbalancing himself. 'Wore yoit amused in court to-day?’ was bis next question, addressing Miss Freer. 'In court! I!' cried Clara, 'It was her sister who went/ broke.in the lawyer— 'my youngest daughter.— Clara would not have acted so indiscreetly. Louisa's not come home yet/ ‘Your youngest daughter went to tho hall to-day!* echoed the clergyman, staring in bis inrn. ‘That is rather—rather uncommon—is it not?’

A Curious Verdict is Virginia.—A*. Hartford Superior Couit aa we learn from a correspondent of the Petersburg Express, a land suit was' decided in a novel way. It depended upon the boundaries of a tract "at the head of Hodge's Creek.” The testimony as to where the head of the creek is, was so conflicting that the jury could not agree. But ns the costs had swelled to a greater amount than (he value of the land, the jury proposed ns a compromise, that (he land should he sold, tho proceeds equally divided between the plaintiff and defendant, and cacti party pay his own costs. This waa. agreed to, and the amt ended.

The three young men who rest beneath this atone Illustrate this great (ruth; Though deatiy loved they pasrtd from earth away In lha bright morn of youth; Ther left their friends upon a pleasure tour All full of life and glee, Nut dreaming i.f their nenr approach To great eternity. '

An act to amend section 2 of an act entitled “An art to change the time of holding Courts in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit."

The Pitot's bell is heard—the wheels at once are still— The boat made fast to shore— The steam retained— friends meet, and part To meet in time no more; "TA< Bailer LurtU” —sad min and dismay ' ■ Wide-spread upon them fall, And shrieks and groans now rend the air . . That iron hearts appall.

More American Victories.-^— At the charter election in Schenectady (N.

The Americans also elected every Supervisor in the city, five of tbo. eight Aldermen, and nearly all of the minor officers. Justice, Treasurer, dec. In Cornwall (Orange county), the A* moricansmado a "cleansweep’—electing tho whole of their ticket by forty-four majority.

An set to change (he lime of holding CoutU in the Tenth Judicial Circuit, vnd to extend the length of (he term of said Court in Allen county, and providing additional compensation for the Judge thereof, '

'Uncommon? It’s unpardonable/ 'And Mr. Elliot. Was'ho there too?'

'Mr. Elliot!’ roared tho attorney, firing at the name, Tdon’t know anything about Mr, Elliot. What’s Mr. Elliot to me?* ‘A—a—a—no quarrel, or misunderstanding, 1 hope, since tho morning?’ cried the parson, hopelessly mystified. •Not that I am aware oif air,’ coldly answered the offended attorney. • T supposed they were leaving the town to-day,’ returned Mr. Whistler. 'Indeed, 1 believed they hod left it.’ Mr. Freer, considered, and concluding the 'they* must have reference to the.Icarn<d judges, he made no remark. At that moment the cook put her head into' the room. 'Mrs. Agatha Needham’s compliments—the was sorry to trouble Mr. Freer on the subject, but did ho know anything of her nephew? He had left her in a mysterious way in' the morning, as soon as she got into court, and nothing had been beard or seen of him since.

‘ The parson bowed, inwardly blessing tie gnat cause, 'Newconie v. Needham.' He bad anticipated a stringof ladies as long as the with a proportionate show of veil* and feathers. He n jver performed the marriage service so glibly in bia life—and he thought he had never seen a bride tremble more violently. The fees were paid, the register signed, and the parties left the church. At the entrance, which was situated, like, the church, in an obscure neighborhood, stood a post chaise and four. Mr. .Tom Elliot, clearing a way through the collection of young nurses and infanta then assembled, placed his bride tn it, followed her in, banged-to the door, and oflf dashed the posthoy at a gallop, •Never accomplished a feat more cleverly in my life, 1 chuckled Tom. *Loo, my darling, all the fathers in Christendom shan't separate us now/ The stranger, meantime, aftar watching the chaise fairly away, returned to the vestry, and oddressed the clergyman. •Mr. Freer'* compliments, sir, and ho begs yon will be at the house at seven tonight to celebrate the wedding/ Mr. Whistler replied in the affirmative, though not without hesitation. He had a horror of evening parties, and concluded this was nothing less than a dance. But he did not like to iMoh. on s?oh an occasion.

Kansas. —All reports from Kansas agree in staling that many ot the proslavery men in the Territory,- and along the river m Missouri, are becoming discouraged, and admit that the "abolitionists" may beat them yet.

Some of the slaveholders in Kansas, becoming alarmed at the swarms of invaders from the Northern hive, are leaving the territory their chatties.

Before the cook could tarn away with the message, a fly was heard rattling up to the door, aqd in. came Nancy. ‘Mrs. Stevens* kind iregards to Mr. and MUs Freer: she bad been at home all,day, bat Mies Louisa bad not called.’. The lawyer was'seriously disturbed now. •Yon mey rely upon it, air,’ interposed the clergyman, 'that there is some misunderstanding, and they are gone.* •Gone! who gone? gone where?’ said the host, in agitation. 'Wert your mind in a sane state, yon should be brought to account for yonr vile insinuations.’. •Yon appear to take me for a madman, sir, hnt I think, if anybody’s, mad, it’s yourself, ’ retorted the clergyman, growing more perplexed with every sentence.
