Owl Story. V.v

The following alory from tha Shawnaatown Argus, id dccidctlly rich, and will do to p«M round: And by tha way, apeaking of owla, remimis us of a rich dialogue that occurred between our friend Andy S an honest dutuh drayman, and the prince of all owldom. who inhabit* tha rioheat portion of Lower Egypt, a few milea in the interior of nur town. Andy hsd been visiting the ootintry in the proaecuiion of an honest livelihood, and on hia return home night had thrown her pall of darkaea* over the eanh.juat at he waa pMrtng over the territory of hia owlahip. «At this critical moment our iriend met with a aad minhap by driving hie drey into a deep chuck hole, filled with freezing mud and water. After two or three inafieotual attoinptato pull out, Andy remembering the advice of Herou lea, put hia shoulder to the wheel in a manly effort to extrioate himself from hie gloomy and perilous condition. Ilia owlahip who waa perohed upon a limb at a short distance from the scene of discomfiture. viewed the tabora of tin Dutchman in the dark, as decided infringement upon hia princely prerogative, and in order to express his indignation, in language net to be misunderstood, he oalled out in aloud and thrill voice-—

Assedoteaf aha Fariuta Poltc*. Previooaly to tJae year 1789, bo« at what pn»o»e dale oaonot say. the city of Paris posseeasd as guardian of ii» aSUoty tb« ftlnef roinislar of police, a man of rare taieat and iDlegritj. At tke same period,, tbe parish of&Germies, in tha quarter of the Rue St. Anloipe, bad for ite cure, a kiad veoerable old man, wboee whole life bad been spew in doing good to both tbe eouk and bodies of hi» fallow creatures, and wboee boly oooaiateacy and digoified courage caused him to be beloved by the good and respected by awn tbe moat abandoned characters. One cold dark winter's night, die bell •t tbe old cure's door waa rang loudly, aad ho although in bed, immediately arose and opened tbe door, anticipating a summon* to some sicfe g&4M' ing bad.

After, a moment of secret prayer, thf cure' an swered, *1 will go with you.' Without asking *ay further explanatiop h? allowed hi* eyes fo be ban dagcd, and leant on the arm of suapiciou* visitor 'they both gotunto.a coacb, whose Window* were immediately covered by wooden shutters, and then they drove off rapidly. They «cemed to go along way, and make many doublings and turnings ere the coach drove under a wide archway and stop ped.

During this tjme not a single word had been ex changed between the travelers, and ere they got out the stranger assured himself that the bandage over b'w companions eyea had not been misplaced, and then taking the old man respectfully by the band, be aasisted him to alight, and to ascend the wide steps of a staircase aa far aa the second story. A great door opoened, as if of itself, and ear era! ricnly carpeted rooma were traversed in ai lence. At length another door was opened by the guide, and the cure felt his bandage removed-— They were in a aolemn looking bed chamber near a bed. half vailed by thick damask curtains, was a small table supporting two wax lights, which feebly illuminated the cold death like apartment. The stranger (he was Duke de .") then bowing to the cure, led him towards the bed, drew back the curtains, and said in a solemn tone:— 'Minister of God, before you it a woman who has betrayed the Mood of her ancestors, and whose doom is irrevocably fixed. She knows on what conditions an interview has been granted her ahe knows too that all suplications would be useless You know vour duty, M. le Cure I leave you to fulfil it, and will return to seek you In half an hnui.

So saying he departed, and the agitated priest saw lying ou the bed, a young and beautiful girl, bathed in tears, battlifig with despair, and calling in bitter agony fot the comforts of religion. No investigation possible! for the unhappy creature declared herttlf bound by a terrible oath to conoeal her name besides ahe knew not In what pSaoe ahe was. ^pl am,' ahe said 'the victim of aeoret family tribunal, whose senteuce is irrevocable I More 1 cannot tell. I forgive my enemies, as I trust God will forgive me. Pray for me.* •The minister of religion invoked the promises to sooth her troubled soul, snd he succeeded. Her countenance after a time, became composed, she clasped her hands in fervent prayer and then extended them towards her consoler. she did BO, the cure perceived that the sleeve of her robe was stained with blood.

!W'

'My child,' said be, with a tremblinl VotoSf'what it this!' 'Fatter, It is the

vein which they have already

opened, and the bandage was no doubt carelessly put on. At these words a sudden thought struck the priet. He unpolled tbe dressing, allowing the blood to flow, steeped his handkerchief in it theh replaced the bandaged, concealed the stained ban kerchief within his vest, and whispered:— •Farewell, mv daughter, lake courage, and have confidence in uod!* 2JThe half-hour had expired, and the step af hi* terrible conductor was heard approaching. ~x. '1 am ready,* said the cure, and having aftowdd hit eyes covered, he took the arm of the Duke da

room, praying in mean

Arrived at tbe foot of t^e atairoase, the old man succeeded, without his guide's knowledge, in elightly displacing tha thick bandange ao aa to ad mH a partial ray of lamp light. Finding himself in the oarriage gateway, he managed to a tumble and faU, with bout banda forwards towards a dark corner. The Duke hastened to raise him, both resumed their plaoea in the oarriage, and after repassing through the aame tortuous route the cure waa set down in safety at his own door.

Without one moment*» delay be called bis eerV*nt. 'Rerre,* h« said, 'arm yourself with a stick, and give me your support,' 1 must instantly go to the cninistarof polici.*

Soon afterwards tba official fata was opened to admit the well-known venerable pastor.

She nodded.

4And

Burten adai»'d feW words more and probounced them man and wife. Mary wiped her eyes and drew a long breath. The clergyman thefi made out the marriage certificate to whioh the witnesaea put their bames and ended by giving (ham to the newly married couple, together with few words of advice.

At tbe aame time George slipped something into hit hand, done up hi a piece of white paper. Afterwards the bride and bridegroom rode off in the chaise the house-keeper want to tha kitchen laugh ing, the young Burten returned to hia books, and he olergyman to his sermon.

As the latter sat down to write, thinking all the time of the queer ceremony he had just performed, he listlessly unfolded the bit of gaper the bridegroom haa placed in his hands. 'Perhaps the preacher was ti^ rious to know how much so nod a man bad lett able to pay far bis marrisge certitioate. From the saaa of tba piece, Mr« Burten judged the fee to be something handsome.

When the pubUa«taeadoB was first ostUed to tbe f^Ciu4tlver waa being exported ia considerable quantities, the whig presses charged that it was owing entirely tq the operations ol th^i tariff of, f846, thhoOg^ theT were unaWe til by their protective theory wfty geld was ^not a*. e^ady sought after for foreign remiu anoes. W exposed at the tune the gnnindlessnesa of the complaints against the revenue laws, and explained the cause of the phenomena they were aala to have produced'! Congress had ftxM tba relative value af iba

shdaW be worth thirteen ounces of silver, and ia that iffoportton'each should be fa- !%alt«tfdtr.— Tbat proportloo was in aooonlaooa witii the relative value ol' the two metala whett the law3Uw|ui paascd. ayd of course there was no inducement to export the one rather than the other. This state df things coctinued nntil the discovery of gold la Califemia. enci the vast addition from that quarter to the amount ef gold bullion. The relation be^ tween the supply of and demand for gold which formerly'existed was destroyed by tho greatly increased supply, and, as a natural consequence, the value of Silver, at compared with Rold. became greater. Oae aunca of gold was no longer wrtb ihititeeo ounces of silver, because it bad be oome more plen:iful. But the atatute remained unailer ed| and came in contlici with the laws which rtgu late cotr.tnerce, which made sliver more valuable ihan the act of Congrest allowed it to be. The conaequenaa wn^ tbatas soon aa a Specie export was made necessary by iroporuiioos from Caiifof nia, merchants found it to he to their interest to purchase silver wiih gold, and send it to those countries in wWch'it would he received at Its full vslue.s By this praoatt the supply of silver coins beat ma ao limited thai^old doliars bore a premi um at the same time that silver did—a result wUlc£ was aided by tho circuYnstance that the niiut furn ished an inadequate supply 'of those piecej^com pared with thi supply (Sf tha larger ebitts.

srfiHad tha Oallfornla ptoera furnished gold and silver in die same proportion, than there would have been no greater inducement to export the one Jhau the other, and our smaller coins would have been driven from oiroutation. But, even in that event, there would have been a large specie export. The United Statea is now the great ape cie-produoing country, aa it is the great cotton-pro ducing country ahd tbara Hf tbe same reason for exporting tha one thai there ia for exporting thaother. But it was not our purpose to explain the oausea of the exportation of specie from the Uni ted Slates: it waa to aet lorth tho reasons for that scarcity of ailver coin which has ptfeduced such in convenience as to oall for the action of Cohgress The bill which passed tbe Senate reduoos the bullion only in coins Jesa thjsn a dollar and it will have an effect, aa to those coins, similar to that which an equivalent change in the relative value of gold and silver would produce, and wHl* pwfvwft their exportation while the amount of depreciation eqtials the rirain the iralue of silwr at compared with goldi«*K adt adf
