From the Banner of the Union. THE MXTEDEKED TEAYELEE; OR H0"W WOMAN KEEPS A SECRET. Within the interior of the " Buckeye State," there is a small village, the inhabitants of which, are about fifty years behind the time. The principle store of the place was kept by Timothy Jones, who, by the by, was a man of great note among- the villagers. He was the chairman at all public meetings, and was looked upon as possessing more knowledge than he was, in fact, aware of himself. However, he. knew a great deal ; and was married. His wife was good enough in her own way, but on one point they could never agree ; he was a man of very few words, she was a woman whose delight was talking. One evening when the shadows of night had stole on the world, Mrs. Jones was anxiously awaiting-her husband's arrival. Never before
had he stayed so late, and, of course, her mind was forming reasons for his long; delay. At last
he entered, and without seeming to notice his wife, sat down in a large chair, bearing upon his countenance the marks of dejection. "You look worn out, Tim," said his wife. "Yes, I am," he replied, and his voice assumed a most melancholy tone.
"Come then, man, eat your supper, you must,
of course, be hungry.
"I wish nothing to eat, my dear."
"Good gracious, nothing to eat, why what ails
you ? are you sick f "Beyond the reach of medicine."
"Now do, Tim, take a few pills to-night, and
m the morning you will feel quite well.'
"Woman," replied her husband, "talk not to me thus. Can medicine cure a guilty conscience?
Hark ! what noise is that ! Even now the officers
of the law may be seeking me;" and, as the poor fellow spoke, he buried his face in his hands, while his frame shook with some inward emotion. As Mrs. Jones gazed upon her husband, and noted his actions, the thought intruded that he was taking leave of his senses, and therefore she asked : "If he was going mad ?" "Mad," he replied, "no ! would to God that I were mad ! This gnawing of remorse will soon
make me so however. Whetch ! wretch that I am!"

"Timothy, what n earth is the matter ?" "Ask me not ! If I tell you the cause of me misery, you will fly from me." " Fly from you ! never ! never ! ! So open your heart, and tell me all." Timothy for a few moments sat wringing his
hands in silence : at length, he said, in tones of
reproach : "Yes, you will leave me, and be the first to proclaim my guilt !"
"And so, you have committed a crime ?" "I have what noise is that what a coward
guilt does make me." "Heavens!" Exclaimed Mrs. Jones, now becoming alarmed, and so, you think that I will proclaim your crime. I, your wife, why Timo
thy you surprise me." "Well, my dear, you know your failing, you are aware of yournatur, and remember that what I tell you, will put your husband's life in your hands. Now, knowing these facts, can you keep
my secret a secret ot lite and death V "So help me Heaven ! I can and will 1" "I will trust you. Come near me, and let me whisper it, so that even the air cannot hear it I have killed a traveler! I am a murderer" "Murderer!" shrieked out Mrs. Jones, "good heavens, they'll hang you !"
"Yes, if they catch me. But you, of course, will tell no one. Let not even your looks betray v,. ,..m ii )'
"Not I But who did you murder ?" "A poor traveler." "What could have induced you?"
"lie naa a pacic on nis snouiaer astt me no more." "And you killed him?" "I did the horid deed!" "And where is the pack, for which you have stained your soul with blood ?"
"I was disappointed in its contents. I wanted
no evidence against me, and J buried it with him.'
The terrible secret Dressed uDon her she must
have a confidant, or she should die. To stay in the house was misery, so, after breakfast, she
called upon & particular friend, and thus began:
"Hear me, 1 did not sleep a wink last night." "Indeed," replied Mrs. Smith, 'why what was
the matter, not ill, I hope."
"Not exactly, but to tell the truth, I believe I
am ffoine crazy, yes. mad. stark mad."
"Lord of Mercy, Mrs. Jones, how you talk ;"
and her friend began to increase the distance between them, as if to shun all danger.
"Uon t be alarmed, my dear Mrs. Smith,! am
perfectly harmless. But such sad things have lately happened O dear and I can't tell a liv
ing soul." On hearing that there was a chance to glean some news, Mrs. Smith drew closer to her friend and without betraying the least anxiety to hear the news, merely remarked : "Well, you know best." "Horrible !" echoed Mrs. Jones "terrible !" "Gracious me, you don't say so." "I can't breathe it. The very air would betray me." "Well, Mrs. Jones, you know that I am your friend your particular friend, and a secret with me is kept sacred. However, use your own judgment, your business is not mine." "I can't tell it, Mrs. Smith, indeed I dare not."
"It must be something very bad, or else it
would not cause you to act so mysteriously."
"Bad ! yes, it's worse than bad, it's terrible,
it's shocking." "I pitty you, my friend."
"I believe you and you won't ever mention
it if I tell you ? Not even whisper it ?" "Mrs. Jones, I am surprised at you, I am no cossin. I never retail news : and hate slander."
"No, no, you are no gossip; but I think I might as well tell you, and as you are my elder in years, perhaps you can give me a little good
advice how to act. "By all means, if I have the power." "Well, listen! let not the knowledge of the fact chill your blood -but my husband has committed murder." "Heavens!" was. the ejaculation of Mrs. Smith,
and her blue eyes were upturned to heaven in holy horror; "a murder! a murderl but who has he murdered?" "My suspicions tell me that it is Brown, the pedler." "Why, what could have been the inducement?"
"God only knows! It was not his pack, for that he buried with him. My friend, pray advise
one how to act.
"What! me advise vou! How can I? None
of my family ever murdered." "Wretched, wretched woman that I am!" "Ah! dear Mrs. Jones " but here the ar
rival of Mrs. Gossop cut off the conversation,
and after a few remarks about the weather, the
wife of the murderer took her departure. When she had closed the door after her, Mrs
Gossop began a recital of all the news, during
which Mrs. Jones' name was mentioned.
"Would you believe it," said Mrs. Smith, du
ring a pause, in which Mrs. Gossop was striving
to regain her breath "would you believe it,
that Mr. Jones is a murderer? "Merciful heavens! Impossible!"
"It is shockingpositively shocking! yet it is
true." "Relieve my mind, Mrs. Smith, and do tell all you know of the case." "But it is a secret a great secret." "With me it will be secure; I'll never mention it." "Well, then, Mr. Jones has murdered Tom Brown, ike pedler, and buried him in a spot yet tin-
discovered."
"Horrible!" ' "Poor Mrs. Jones!" "Terrible! Shocking!"
As a blaze of fire spreads over the prairie, so also spread the news of the murder. Great in
deed was the consternation of all the. villagers, an they heard the dreadful news. What! Jones, the most respected man in the village! Jones, the embodiment of wisdom and knowledge! that he, that Jones was a murderer, they could not believe. But yet the information was so correct,
On arriving at the magistrate's office, he was
charged with the murder of one Thomas Brown,
a pedler. Timothy J ones smiled a peculiar smile.
as he heard the grave charge, but when he was told that Brown had, in reality, disappeared, an
asny nue stole over his face.
"My dear sir," he said to the magistrate. "I
am perfectly innocent. It was but to prove if
my wife could keep a secret that I told her," "Mr. Jones," replied his honor, "we are jadt to be gulled by you that way. We are loo sharp
tor that. JNow, sir, we will ask you a few questions; and, Mr. Clerk, note well" Mr. Jones' answers."
"Did you kill anything, or did you not?" "I did."
"For a yoansrinaa irith a lasts
"Mr. Jones, remember, we don't want you to
criminate yourself, but you have owned that you
aid Kill on that evening.
It was not lorn Brown, the pedler, though." "We will come to that point after awhile. Mr.
Jones. Now, as you have owned that vou did
kill a thing, let us know what that thing was." "Well, Mr. Justice," replied Jones, in a sarcastic tone, "by the evidence of your own words you are 'pretty sharp,' so perhaps you can save me the trouble of informing you. Do so, and I will show you all the last resting-place of my victim." "None of your insolence you presume too much upon your former character. We shall find out the victim and his grave, ourselves." "Well, find out!"
"Time, Mr. Jones, is required for all things. Now, sir, as you persist in denying the charge
against you, tell us what it was that you slew
was it a dog or a catY" "Neither, your honor." "Was it a man, woman, boy, or girl?" "No, your honor."
"We will yet find you out, Mr. Jones. Here,
officers, take himand see where he will lead yen."
it was an imposing spectacle, that self-same
procession, limothy Jones took the lead, while
the officers of the law were by his side. Behind
them came a motley crew, of all sizes, complex
ions, and ages, who, led by curiosity, had fallen
m the tram.
After taking them for about a mile, Jones
stopped before a large tree, at the bottom o;
i?.i .
wmcn was a stone oi immense size:
"Here, gentlemen," said he,
deed was done, and under that stone is the re
mains of the victim."
By the combined efforts ; of the two officers
the stone was at last removed, and as they and
the eager crowd rushed to see the murdered man
they beheld not Brown, the pedler, but a large
snail, whose pack consisted of Ms shell.
Astonishment for a moment kept them silent.
but on recovering their equanimity, they cried:
"And is this all? Is this the murdered travel
er?"
wen, i thins it is," chuckled Jones; "you
see an idea struck me of seeing if a woman could keep a secret, when she knew her husband's life depended upon it. This is the result. Ha! ha! ha!" "Ha! ha! ha!" yelled out one. "Good! glorious! an excellent joke!" echoed another. A capital joke it was, indeed, to everybody,
and when Tom Brown, the pedler, made his ap
pearance the day alter, none enjoyed it more
than he.
Poor Mrs. Jones, when she was informed of how stood the case, she positively declared that
it was a plot to ruin her character that Tom
Brown and Timothy Jones were "brutes," so to
lay plans by which to deceive her. But a day
or two of calm meditation taught her a useful
lesson, and whenever she felt inclined to tell a household secret abroad, she would pause as she

en, never since the day when old Aaron set up the golden calf for the Hebrew tribes to fall down
and worship at the sound of timbnl, sackbut. and, psaltry, has there been such a bowihg down to
and struggling alter the glittering gold. 4The discovery of gold in California has exerted.; and
is exerting a powertui influence upon the destin ies of nations. When gold was first discovered
on the Sacramento river, there were only four steamships in the United States, and there was no commerce between the AtiantifiStates aUdthe Western shores of our continent ; now what do we see ? a country peopled with nearly half a million of inhabitants in two years j a steam fleet of more than t wenty huge ships engaged in the trafic between the East and West, besides hUTF dreds of the finest sailing vessels that ever floated on the deep ; and to this we have to add a great overland emigration through our continent and, more wonderful than all, Asia-Mhe Chinat of Asia that long self-walled-up land ot prejudice and intense foreign hate, has thrown open her portals, and thousands have poured out and are pouring out of them, braving the dangers of the Pacific Ocean to take up their residence under sway of the great modern ' Republic. The
gold of California has also led the discoveries
in Australia, and thither we now see thousands from the pent up warehouses and workshops at
London, Manchester, and Glasgow, hurrying s& the wings of the wind to dig and delve for the attractive metal. How many families have been broken up, how many homes once loved, held!
sacred and revered have been forsaken, all Tot the love of gold. We cannot yet tell whatrtfrs
ettect ot the gold discoveries will be, socially up? on mankind ; the world is now excitingly working, away at some great problem of its fate What the effect of California will be upon Asiaf whatf that of Asia upon America and the rest of man kind, we cannot now determine, the future alone will reveal the result ; but the working of, the problem is Worth the study of the sage and philosopher.
