With a half audible sigh, and with an ajr Gf hopelef sness, utter despondency. the cbjrct of Iiis scrutiny had turned to jeave the rooir. Stay a moment, young man what can ycu'do?''

The young man pleased Mr. Talbot. A mutual confidence springing up between them, tie stranger confided to him hiä present necessities. He was a Pole by birth; he had been despoiled of home, couutiy and fortune at one blow. He had served for several year as private secretary to an Enplibh nobleman; but n misunderstanding occurring between them, he. had come to this country, and had ben here several weeks, but not beir.g able to g;t anything to do, he had spent his last penny and had not tasted food for two days. Mr. Talbot did not read him a lesson on tfie uncertainties of human prospects, but putiing his hand in his pocket, and handing a wallet to the stranger, bid him go and make himself comfortable with good cheer, and then return to the counting-room, that he would take him into his own employ for the present, and that the contents of the wallet were but part of his salary. With an expression of gratitude the stranger left Mr. Talbot, wallet in hand. There was something in the lustre of his large, gray eyes, that told the worthy merchant he had not misplaced his confidence. lido Sternberg entered into hia new occupation with n zeal and comprehension that showed Mr. Talbot he had not over, estimated either his moral or mental capacity. Sternberg was employed to write Mr. Talbot's most confidential letters, and to attend to his most private accounts; for the merchant nt that time wai deeply involved in several complicated specalation, all of which, if successful, were to benefit the whole system of commerce. After several months of uuremitting labor, the schemes suddenly failed. Af ter honorably satisfying the calls of all creditors who were involved through the unfortunate speculation, Mr. Talbot was enabled to continue his regular business, though on a very much reduced scale. A professional friend of mine wishes a secretary; will you accept the situation? The salary is good far better than anything 1 can offer you Just now; alas! I can offer you nothing. I mentioned you to my friend, telling him he could not find one more capable and unexceptionable, in every way, than yourself." ,4I cannot sufficiently thank you for your good opinion of me and your care for me," replied Sternberg warmly. ''I will accept your friend's offer, whatever it may b; on your recommendation, and I hope the result will prove your good word for me not an unjust one." Mr. Redgld. with whom Stanberg now took up his abode, was a lawyer of much repute practicing in the city, and living in mach tyle a short ride in the counlrjr' Take care of yourself, lido, my boy said Mr. Talbot, shaking Sternberg's . tended hand and looking upon mm wun the fondness of a father.

It had grown to be toward the close of the 6ummer, when lido Sternberg entered the office of Mr. Redfield. one morning. somewhat later than usual, and told h:m he could no longer remain in his employ. In vain did Mr. Redfield urge him for a reason; he would give him none, merely faying he had made up his mind to go to South A mriea. In about an hour after lido had left the office, Mr. Redfield was summoned hom; his eldest daughter had been found dead in th grove of woods near the seaside, which had ever been bei favorite walk, fler sister had seen her start in the direction of the grove, and had also seen young Sternberg take the same path a short time after, seemingly following in her footsteps. Isabel Redfield was a belle; a dark willful beauty, full of headstrong passion, and. from her wit and play fullness, was the idol of her father, and the imperious mistress of both father and mother, and in fact of the entire household. Some of the field laborers had seen Sternberg conversing with the beautiful Miss Redfield in the grove; and as soon as the news of her death reached them (for it spread like wild fire) they came forward to give in their evidence. One of the laborers said that the lady seemed very much excited in her manner and spoke nngrdy, and that Sternberg seemed to be expostulating with her, supplicating her to do something that she seemed very resolute in Tf fusing. The testimony crowded in so closely agninst poor Sternberg, that warrant was issued to apprehend him, aud so rapid had been the proceedings, .that he was taken on board a South American packet, within a very few minutes of sailing. Suspected and apprehended fur murder." exclaimed Fanny Talbot. "The milder uf friend Isabel. Oh, papa, how huriiUle."TJut 74Ts fnmwent.'.riL-ae' er could commit murder. The court will find the real murderer and will acquit him' and Fanny spoke confidently. "I hope so, my child, but appearances are strongly against him." 'But, papa, you do not believe him guilty?" "My child, I will not say what I believe. I dare not blieve anything. My good wishen are for the youth, but I fear it will go ill with him at the day of trial. "Oh, papa," responded Fanny, fervently, "do not say so even if you think so." Meanwhile the day of trial approached. Fanny Talbot had watched the tide of public opinion to discover that the universal voice was against the ungrateful young man who could murder his liberal employer's daughter. Fanny also watched her father's countenance to get some consolation from him as to lido's acquittal, but she could gain nothing satisfactory there. "To day the trial takes place, dear fdtheif "Yes, my daughter' You are to sit in the Jury-box one of the twelve?" Yes, Fanny." 'It is a dreadful thing to decide upon the fate of a human being, and terrible must be the remorse of him who sentences a brother to on ignominious death, nnd afterward when it is too late find the murdered man as innocent as the one he was thought to have murdered!'' "How strange ou talk!" exclaimed Mr Talbot, starlltd by her words and manner. vFather, lido Sternberg is innocent.' "Very likely," replied the father. And, dear father, you must not permit his death; if all others insist yon must refuse to be convinced. They cnnot hang him without your sanction' "But, my child, my friendship towards him is known my reputation may suffer, may be ruined in consequence." 'But then you will have saved an innocent man from a frightful death. And dear father, no one can suspect you, who are so upright, of partiality." "Well, dear child, we will see what can be done to save him." "Father, you must promise," exclaimed Fanny with unwonted vehemence; and then she no u red into her father's ears the deep, abiding interest she took in the young man, also the deep-seated convictions of his truth and innocence, and the grounds of those convictions, saying if he were hung and could have been saved by her father she could not live to bear th. horror of the thought. Deeply affected by his daughter's pleadingi, Mr. Talbot left her to attend the trial, with a solemn promise to do all in his power to save the prisoner. The trial proceeded the evidence was all convincingly egainst the young Pole. His own words were few and pointed; he declined any explanation of the case, but distinctly and firmly pronounced that he was not guilty of the awful charge prefer red against bun His calm, maieslic manner did much toward eatabliabing hit innocence in the

, er s guilt.

Tiie jury agnin withdrew end thirty hours were passed this time be ore they pronounced a second decision, end then the verdict of eleven was "guilty." whilst the twelfth juror firmly persisted in the belief of the prisoner's innocence, and solemnly avowed that he would suffer death himself before he would insist upon his condemnation. Finding this man was so solemnly im pressed with the prisoner's innrcence. and I his arguments in his favor still sounding so convincingly in their ears, to tho astonishment and indignation of r!l present, the eleven unanimously concurred with the pne in the verdict of acquiüal. The prisoner therefore set at liberty narrowly escaped the Lynch law of the infuirated euard without. A htronz po- : üce guard alone protected him. Once more lido Stcrnburg stood upon the deck of a vessel bound for South America. A boy whom heref-ognized as one in the employ of Mr. Talbot approached him and placed a lrtler in his hands. The captain's orders meantime had been given, the anchor was drawn up anJ the brig under way. With a cat like spring, the agile messenger jumped upon the parting warf, receiving a lusty cheer from tho jolly Jack Tors who witnessed tho feat. lido leaned his brnd mournfully upon his hnnda, and gnzed upen the receding shore. Suddenly he bethought him of his letter. He opened it nnd to Iiis surprise a roll of bank bills fell from it. Heglnnced upon them, they were all bank bills of largo amount. The letter merely said; "You will not refuse the enclosed from one who believes in your; innocence. v hen you make the fortune which I know your energy will achieve, in the new country to w tuen you are going, you can repay them if you like, to your "SISTERANNY.

What Constitutes Riches. We are indebted to a friend in Washington city for the following very forcible illustration of "what constitutes riches." We need not add that the anecdote i authentic: "To be rich,"' said Mr. Marcy, our worthy Secretary of State, "requires only a satisfactory condition of mind. One man may be rich with a hundred dollars, while another, in the possession of a million, may think himself poor, and as the necessities of life are enjoyed by each, it is evident that the man who is satisfied with his possessions is the richer." To illustrate this idea. Mr. Marcy related the following anecdote, "While I was Governor of the'Statc of New York said he, "I was called upon

one morning at my ottico ny a rougn spemi cimenofa backw oodsman, who stalked in, and commenced conversation by in quiring if "this was Mr. Marty?" I replied that was my name. 'Dill Marcy?" said he. "Used to live in Southport, did'nt ye?" I answered in tho affirmative, and began to feel a little curious to know who my visitor was, and what he was driving at. That's what I told them!". cried the back-woodsman, bringing his big hand down on his thigh with a tremendous force, ''I told 'em you was the same old Bill Marcy who used to live in Southport, but they wouldn't believe it, nnd I promised the next time I came to Albany to come and see you and find out for saitin. Whv you know me, dou't you, Bill?" I didn't exactly like to ignore his acquaintance altogether, but for the life of me could'nt recollect of ever having seen him before, so I replied that he had a familiar countenance but could not call him by name. "My name is Jack Smith," answered the back woodsman, nnd we used to go to school together thirty years ago, in the little red school house in Southport Well, times have changed 6ince then, nnd you have become a great man, and got rich I suppose." I shook my head and was going to con tradict that impression, when he broke out in: Oh! yes you are; I know you are rich no use deny ing it. You was cemptro Jtt .. tim. 8ndlheJii,xt w e heara of you, you was Governor. Tou' must have made a heap of money, and am glad of it. glad to fee you gettingnlong so smart. You was always a smart lad at school, and I knew you would come to something." I thanked him for his good wishes and opinion, but told him that political life did not do so well as he imagined. suppose,' said I, fortjne has smiled up on you since you left Southport?' "Oh, yes.' said he, I hain't got noth ing to complain of. I must say, I've got along right smart. You see, shortly af ter you left Southport, our whole fami ly moved up into Vermont and put into the woods, and I reckon our family cut uown more trees and cleared more land than any other in the whole state 'And so you have made a good thing out of it. How much do vou consider yourself worth?' I asked, feeling a little curious to know what he considered a fortune as he seemed so well satisfied with his. ' 'We!! he replied, I don't exactly know how much I am worth; but I think (straightening himself up) if all my debts were paid, I should be worth three hundred dollars clean cash! And he was rich, fur he was satisfied. Knickerbocker. Ges. Washington's Last Vote. The influence of good men is great, because their example is w orthy of imitation. The following related by a correspondent of the Charleston Courier is of such importance at the present time, that we transfer it to our columns: "I was present," says this correspond ent, 'when Gen. Washington gave his last vote. It was in the spring of 1799, in the town of Alexandria. He died the 1 1th of December following. The court house of Fairfax county was then overthe market house, and immediately, fronting Gadsby's tavern. The entrance into it was by a slight fl'ght of craay steps on the outiide. The election was progressing several thousands of persons in the court house yard and immediate neighboring streets; and I was standing on Gadsby's steps when the father of his country drove up, and immediately approached the court house steps; and when within a yard or two of them, I saw eight or ten good look ing men, from different directions, certain i . it wiinout tne least concert, spring simultaneously, and place themselves in positions to uphold and support the steps should they fall in the general's ascent of hem. I was immediately at his back, and in that position entered the court house with him followed in his walk through a dense crowd to the polls heard him vote returned with him to the outward crowd heard him cheered by more than two thousand persons as he entered his carriage and saw his departure. "There were five or six candidates on the bench sitting; and as the General ap proached them; they rose in a body and bowed smilingly; and the salutation having been returned very gracefully, the Generat immediately cast his eyes towards he registry of the polls, when Col, Den-

cnle (I think it was) suid: "Well, General, how do you vote?" The General looked at the can Jidites. and said "Gen llemen, 1 vt te fr measures, not for men?" and turning to the recording table, audibly pronounced his vote saV it entered made a graceful bow nnd retired.

A big Job Cngagrd. A Mr. Briggs of Cleveland, who did not get th nomination for Slate Treasurer at the Fusion convention, thus developes the ohjects of Fusionlsts. in an article in the Journal lust evening: "At this time, hi tho Republican ranks, there should ho no division as ti ihe nominees on tho tirKet. All wero fnirlv nnd honorably nominated.

This same Ohio Fusion Addition Convention sent greeting to the Abolition Convention of this S.ate which n&semUlrd on the same day.

Thbilliko Escape feom a Black Snake. On Monday last, seven children, among whom was tu inleiesting daughter of Joseph Hemphill, Esq., aged nbout ten years, were enjoying a social picnic in a wood, about a mile south of West Chester, and were thrown into a panic by a large black snake. Miss. Hemphill, lingering behind her comrades nt some blackberry bushes, espied a nest of young snakes, and immediately started to run towards the clearing. She succeeded in crossing the fence, when her progress was impeded by a large black snake, that had wound it self twice round her thighs, on the outside of her garment, and bound her so light that she could not move. How or when it got there she could not tell, her ideas being so confused by fright oa seeing the nest from which she ran. She as relieved in her locomotion by the snake taking a higher position, when she threw up her arms and ran, using her basket to fight the reptile, which clung to her and bit incessantly nt her dress. Sho wa-s finally relieved from her peri'ous si tuation by a gentleman who was attracted to the spot by her cries, and who killed the snake. Iftsf Chester (Pa.) Jef. The Gilmanton Child and Ssake. The child ond snake who were reported to have such an affection for each other, were on exhibition in Boston at the beginning of last week. The Post of Thursday narrates the following in connection with the show: "An exciting scene occurred at Cochituate Hall yesterday afternoon. After several exhibitions the snake appear ed anerv. and the child manifested rri reluctance to touth it. The father per emptorily ordered her to seize it, and upon its darting out from the box she grasped it with her hand, but so far down the neck as to give it free scope with its head. After a moment or two it seized upon the child's thumb, and bit it repeatedly, causing her tc'shriek with ago ny, the blood flowing 411 the .while from the' wound inflicted. The child's father, who appeared half stupefied with liquor. and the mother, were both looking on. and the former after a while succeeded

in getting the snake baik into the box. Dr. I. W. Ajer. of the Chronicle, who was present, examined the wounds, ami found them to be deep incisions as if made by some three tided instrument. The people were very indignant, nnd threats were made to destroy the venomous reptile, but the audience broke up to make way for another exhibition. Dr. Ayer went to the Mayor to learn if thera was not some process by which the exhibition could be stopped. He found there was none, as the exhibition was informally licensed. The most the Mayer could do w ould be to send the police to the hall, who. if the sinke bit the thild again, uere to kill it. He then went before Jude Rogers, and ma je oath to the foregoing facts. The Judge issued a warrant and hid the fithtr arrested, who was secured in ihe Cambii !- street j iii to await his nomination en a cli ü re tf inhumanly using his child as a means of gain. When he was arrested the people who were present manifested much L -cling, and but for ihe presence of ihe police would have destrojed the venomous reptile. The exhibition was a most revolting one, nnd it is a won ler thai those connected wiih it were able to procure licence." Two days previously there was a nmilar occurrence. The father ordered the Utile girl to take up the snake she objected, and cried the father again commanded her to take hold of it the child did so, when the affectionate reptile bii her severely on the arm.

Singular Phenomenon ox thk Rivtk. The officers and others 0:1 the Memphis packet Tishomingo, cn her trip up tha Ohio river Thursday evening saw a singular, and, we may add, frightful up-l.ta-ving of ihe river, or black water spout. just ahead of them near Alton and Yv'olf Creek. The river, which is very deep at that point, was in great commotion ji:s about the miadieof the river, and a dense mass rose from tho surface, having the appearance at first of a couple of ladet: coal boats up-ended in the river, and then sunk down again. This great black mass, as it appeared to be, rose from tea to twenty feet above the level of tho riv r four or five times, and then bunk down ngain. In the meantime, the boat was approaching near the scene, and the last time, covering a space of thirty or forty feet, it rose or belched forth a huge volume of black slime or froth, fifteen fif t high, all of which was seen by the ofhcers of the boat. A6 soon as it subsided the river was covered with great patches of black looking slime and filth, which rresd widely over the fcurfate of the water in some instances, while other i ooriion sank immediate! v. Tho we a tilc r v u n iv.i 1 or shaking was felt ou the boat. Ihe cause of this black water spout, or water quake, we leave to philosophers to explain. Louisville Courier, July 21. Death. In all the crisis of lifo and feeling, I think that the surprise is in the world's look, the morning after. From the spot of withdrawal from the routine to which we have stepped aside with Death especially contused there, while the. duties to the dead are performing, but rvaking the next day, to find ourselves on the same spot, and alone how changed looks everything'., How impossible it sterns that our thoughtless life of course its familiarity with petty cares and plasuies, and its forgetfulness of sorrow's remindings, so measurtlessly important can ever be resumed! Not that death is to be brooded over as a calamity. Nature, (as I began with show ing) has no recognition, of it as such. My own instinctive feelings towards it, in the approaches that I have been warn ed of its making, was always (some it hat to my surprise, I may say) that of a wel-comeT-the end of a long task coming not too soon. The unwillingness has been in turning back, with deferring of recov ery, to wait lor it ngain- But there is an ennobling solemnity iu death which we simply tnisappreciate and lose by tur ning cur backs upon it as a terror. Life is the limited vestibule of the great temple whose threshold is death and w e shrink back like children, when sickness, the veiled usher, takes us by the hand tousher us in alraid ot tie shadow of the door. The general impression of death -as given by nurse?, teachers, poets and preachers need both brightening and aggrandizing, for truth's sake it seems to me From a letter by X. P. Willis. A fellow at a race course was stapger ing about the track wiih more liquor than he coulo. carry. Hallo, whais the matter now!"said a chap whom the inebriated individual had just run against. "Why hie why. the fact is, a lot of my friends have been betting liquor on the race to-day, aud they have got me to hull the stakes." The Address before tho next"' Indiana Slate Fair will be delivered by Prof, ilapes, of New Jersey. A Palpablk Hit. -Old gent, Don't cry little boy. Did he hit you on purpose? . Injurod party: No, sir, he hit me on the head. Don't think of knocking out another person's brains, because he differs in opinion from you. It will be as rational to knock yourself on the head, because you differ from yourself ten years ago.
