I had taken refuge In a harrestneld bel to my good neighbor, Farmer CreasweM a beautifill child lay on Ihe ground al some little distance whilst a young girl, resting from the labor of reapii twitting* rustic wreath—enamelled corners, brilliant poppies, snow-white lily-blues, and 1, fragile hare-bells, mingled with turfs of Jbe neat-ears—around its hat. wis something in the tender youthfulness

Now, Farmor CresswelPa intentions were known to be as unchangable as the laws of the Medea and Persian*. He was a fair specimen of an English yeoman, a tall, square-built, muscular man, atout lind aotivo, with a resolute countenance, a keen eye, and an intelligent smile his temper was boisterous and irraaoible generous and kind to those whom he loved, but quick to offence, and slow to pardon, expecting and exacting implioit obedience Irom all about him. With ail Dora'» good gifta, the sweet and yielding nature of all the gentle and submissive little girl was, undoubtedly, the chief cause of her unote's partiality. Above all, ho was obstinate in the very highest degree, had never been known to yield a point or change absolution and the fault was made the more inveteiate because he called it firmness, and accounted it a virtue. For the rest, he was a person of excellent principles, and perfect integrity: clear-headed, prudent aud sagacious fond of agricultural experiment, nnd pursuing them cautiously and suceaafully: a good farmer and a good man.

His son Walter, who was in person, a handsome likeness of his father, resembled him also in many points of character was equally obstinate but far more 6ery, hot, and bold He loved his pretty oouffih as much as he would have loved a favorite sister, and might vory possibly, if left alone, have becoqae attaohed to her as his father wished but to be dictated to, to be ohained down to a distinct engage re ant, to hold himself bound to a mere child-— the very idea was absurd—and restraining with difficulty, an abrupt denial, he walked down into the village, predisposed, out of mere contradiction, to fall ip love with the first young woman who should come in his way—and he did fall in love, aooord-

'"try Hay, the object of hie ill-fated passion, waa Uoohter of a respectable mistress of a small school the other aide of the parish.— She was a delicate, interesting ofeature, with a alight, drooping figure, and a fair down-marked oast face, like a snowdrop, fbttnlng such acontraat with her gay and gallant wooer, ai love In its vagaries, is often pleased to bring together. The oourtahip wae secret and tedious, and prolonged from months to years for Mary shrank from the painful conteat which she knew that an awowal of her attachment would occasion. At length her mother died, and, deprived of a home and maintenance, she reluctantly consented to a private marriage.— Am immediate discovery ensued, and was^ folio Wed by all the evils and more than all, thai her worn lean had anticipated. Her husband was turned from the house of hie father, and in lees than three months, his death, by inflammatory fever, left her a desolate widow unowned and unassisted by the stent parent, on whoee unrelenting temper neither the death of hi* son nor the birth of his grandson, seemed to make the slightest impression! But for the general sympathy excited by the deplorable situation and blameless deportment of the wtdowed bride, she and her infant must have taken refuge in Ike workhouse. The whole neighborhood was seal(Mis to serve them but their most liberal beneieotrees, -their moet devoted friend waa poor Dora.— Considering her uncle's partiality to herself •*,ha primary cause of alt this misery, she Wt wj

But these fanciful associations soon vanished before the real sympathy excited by Ihe actors of thescene, both of whom were know to me, and both objects of sincere and livd!jrttt(erest.

The young girl, Cora CressHBl, teas the orphan niece of one of the wealthiest^ yeoman in our part of the world the only child ^sFhi* only brother and, having lost both her parqpt*. frhilst still an infant, had been reared by her Widowed Uncle, as fondly and carefully as his own son Walter. He said he loved her quite as well, perhaps he loved her better: lor, although it were impossible for a father not to be proud of the bold, handsome youth, who.at 18 had a man's stature, was the best ringer, the best cricketer, and the best shot in the country vet Dora, who was ten years younger, was at

His handmaid, his housekeeper, his plaything, and his companion, was evidently the very apple of his eye. Our good farmer vaunted her accomplishments, as mon of his class are wont to boast of a highbred horse or a favorite greyhound. She could make a shirt, and a pudding, darn stockings, rear poultry, keep accounts, and read the newspapers was as famous for gooseberry wine as Mrs. Primrose, and oould

dairy woman in the country. There was not such a handy little creature anywheie so thoughtful and trusty about the house, yet out of doors as gay as a lark, and as wild as the wind—nobody was like his Dora. So said and ao thought Farmer Cresswell and, before Dora was ten years old, he had resolved that in due time she should marry his •sonWalter, and had informed both parties of his intention.

Tljie remaining sections define the nature of the services and jurisdiction of the court. AH probate business is transferred to this court, and it has concurrent jurisdtciibn with the Circuit Court to nearly all c$vil ease* to any amount not exoeeding one 1 hoosand dollars, and With justices of the peaoe, in sums not leas than fifty dollars. The Judge,may. issue writs of habeas corput. or ne exeat, solemnize marriages, take acknowledgments of deads, take and certify depositions. Four terms per annum are to beheld in each county. Appeali may be made from its decisions to the Circuit pr Supreme Court The Court has also concurrent or Original jurisdiction in all cases of misdemeanors^ felonies or crimes not punishable with death, and the intervention of a grand jury may be waived. The Sheriff and Clerk are officers of this Court with like fees as in the Circuit Court.. 1

Drunkeness and Death.

The horrible death of Capt. John Duncan, who felt into a quarrel the hand of Hon. E. A. Hannegan, at Covington Ind., a few days since, the particulars of which we reported yeterday, should bring with immeasurable power the conviction to the young especially, that rum and reason cannot dwell together. The parties in this bloody affair were, when sober, honorable men in their business and social relations-—brothers by marriage and sworn friends but rum has, in an unguarded moment, struck both down, one in death and the other in worse than death—that soul-racking remorse that knows no rest.—What a lesson is this! The man that plunged the knife into his friend was under the influence of an enemy which he himself had made strong. Once, in his inafncy [sic], it was nourished and nurtured, until growing and growing more powerful, its hold upon its victim became tighter than the grasp of iron. It became the <master> and the victim was conquered.

The now miserable man who who has fallen by this enemy, was but a few years ago (we knew him very well) the pride of his State. Early in the spring of manhood, scarce eligible by age, he was chosen unanimously by the people of Fountain County to represent them in the Indiana Legislature. His term of service expiring, he entered, with assiduity into the pursuits of his profession, the law, in which he rapidly rose to the higher rounds of eminence. He gained a position among the people by his manly bearing and the goodness of heart, that amounted almost to perfection. Anything he desired at their hands he could command and the order was eagerly obeyed. After a few short years' practice al the bar he wished to go Congress, and was sent thereby the almost united voice of the whole District. No man at that time in the State was the equal of 'Ned Hannegan,' as he was familiarly called upon the stump. The people was charmed by his wit, and won by his eloquence. His second Congressional term was only half expired when he was elected by the Legislature, to the highest office in the gift of the people in any one State. He took his seat in the U. S. Senate and soon became a prominent member of that body. Called from thence, he was made by President Polk the American Ambassador to the Austriain [sic] Court, where he remained until a change of national politics caused him to return from Europe and throw down his official honors. He again embarked in his profession among the people who knowing his errors, still loving him, forgave and forgot thetn—hoping he would not fall. But 'the Rubicon is passed!' The people may forgive him for this rash deed, but he never can forgive himself. Thus is a gifted noble hearted man hopelessly wrecked by a single act performed while in a state of unconquerable frenzied madness, produced by the intoxicating cup. What a lesson—what a lesson!!—<Cin. Com>. ————————

A Safe Bet.-—Several gentlemen riding in the oars on one of the Boston Railroads a few days ago, when the conversation turned to the next Presidential election, and the merits and prospects of Webster, Fillmore, Scott, Cass, and others, were discussed at large. After some time a solemn in dividual who had listened in silence, addressed tl\e parly thus "My friepds, you are all of you wrong. Beforo the election of 185* the world wilfhave come to and end, and Jesus Christ will be the President of the Universe!"

of Thursday last, said Tbo high prioe of beef, vea), and mutton, buttor, potatoes and other necessaries of life, not only in this great metropolis, but in other citics on the Atlantic indicate something wrong in the mode bf providing for the markets, or the forwarding of things for market. 1

Be the cause of high prices, howovor, what they ntay, if the causes bo good, more farmers are nooded than we have. Agriculture, prioea tell us is undone, and other thing are over-done. There afo not enough raisers of food proporJy to supply the devourers.

To that the Sun of Friday made the following pointed answer:

Yet the Express Is one of those pnpers that counsel Congress to inorease the tariff so that a larger proportion of the people may ba withdrawn from agriculture to be et^plo^ed in manufacturing.

One day he was out hunting, and on one of lha mountain roads ha met a man on foot and aloue, who was longer, gaonter, uglier by all odds than himself: he could give the 'squire'

'fifty, and beat him.' Withour saying a wor»l B- raised his gun and deliberately levelllod it at the stranger. 'For God's sake don't shoo!!' shouted the man in great alarm. 'Stranger,' replied 'I swore ten years ago that if ever I met a man uglier than I was, I'd shoot him and you afe the fust one I've seen.' The stranger, after taking a careful survey of his 'rival,* replied: VVal, p'*ttain if 1 look any worse than you do, thute! 1 ddn't want to live no longer.'

The small end of the potato which is generally full of eyes, is the pavt whtab produoea earliest th* middle or tho body of tba potato, the lata and larger ones.
