i. was very pain that something unaccus.

twas very pain that something unaccus-
toned was ag,a.ing her.
Suddenly she pushed aside, with vio-.
lent and convulsive motion, the master was
before her. She throws herself down,and
falls upon her knees before the dead body;
she did not shudder.
'sPe,erw she cried, and witt. her hands
weak and macia,ed by age.she fonded the
face Of the corpse before her. She kissed
that forehead that sixty years ago was bur-
led in the bowels of the arth, and which,
had it not been for its untimeiy burial,
would how have been wrinkled by age.
"Tis Peter" she cried again, s'it is the
friend of my chidhood,t is my betro,hed;"
and tears, which seemed to be excited by
Joy and grief, in turn, baihed her wiihered
cheek. 81 waited for YOU" she cried.-
"Ah! knew should not die without
seeing you again, without embracing you
for the last time"
The by.standers endeavored to bear her
away, to separate her from such horrible
spectacle, but one on which she was feast
her strength; but it was in vain. She
clings to the body OF Peter. she clasps him
in her weak arms, she wishes to die upon
the heart hich no longer beats, but which
once beat for her alone.
So many mysteries were then explained.
Poor Peter! He had wished to sur
prise his bride, and without doubt had hid
den the presents, which ne intended for her
not far from the spot where he usually la
bored. How horrible must his long agony
have been! = How terrible pun
| ishment!
He went back in his thoughts to the
midst Of the merriment which was in honor
of himself, he thought of his dismayed
bride, Of his father, Of his mother. +. .
But he was destined 10 see them no more ;
his last groan was unheard by them; he
was slHed, smoihered, and whole noun
tain lay over him.
Margaret had said truly will wait for
your return. Shs was unable to survive
the violent emotions which the discovery of
Peter cost her! She breathed her last
with the name Of Peter on her lips; but
when she made her vow, little did she
think the nuptal bed would be the cold cof-
fin boards, and iha, her lovers hand would
not be clasped in hers tilt she had closed
her eyes forever.

should be hauled down. The Cork Re.
porter says The Captain Of the Romer re.
Seived the British officer with much cour-
tesy, asked him down in the cabin-and
having been made acquainted with the oh.
ject Of his visit, the Americans reply Was
charaeteristic-"So long as have an arm
to pull trigger, no man shall dare touci,

'Britisher' no, little--he returned 10 his
ship for further orders-and in d short
time came back to the Ameri can officer
with On ample apology, to the effect that
seeing The vessel SO small; his Commander
did not think she WINS an American vessel,
and that The flag Of that nation had been
used without authority. So the matter en-.

to Washington in 1885, was accounting TO
10 Gen. Jackson for the defeat at a recen,
election Of the party to which he belonged
by alleging tina, ''they had not used proper
policy. and that little mana cement in the
disposal of a certain question, would have
doubtless rendered Their party successful -
with other remarks Of similar tenor. The
General heard him through without making
the slightest comment, after which, walks
ing up to the fire place, he knocked the
ashes out of the pipe he had been smoking,
which he deposited on the mantle, then
turning to his visitor observed: "Mr. -
you are young, as am an old man
suffer me to give you word of advice ;
never use that abominable word policy, a.
gain, in that sense, nor practice the prin-
ciple. FRely on it sir, honesty is the only
true policy in politics as it is anything else"

PRoPosED STEAM ARMADA FOR THE

ting certain number Of armed steam ves-
sells ID be called the "Vaiy Steam Fleet"
int nding to issue from The Mississippi, and
operate in the Gulf Of Mxico, both of.
fensive and defensive has. it IS said,
been before the government for some time.
In regard TO the details of this proposition,
the New Orleans Commercial Times, makes
the following statement;
at appears that it has been proposed to-
construct dozen iron steamers, Of such
magnitude that they will each present bat
terry on one deck-to use the words Of the
p:ojcctor-''nors formidable than that OF
the Pennsylvania ship of the-lDe." These
vessels will have draft of water sufficient
ly small to admit Of their crossing the bar OF
the Mssissippi,and pass in aud out of eight
southern haibors with equal facility. Their
capacity will be 5000 tons each being 500
tons greater than that ofthe" Great Britain"
at present the largest steamship in the
world, They canno, be sunk BY shot; arc
capable of carrying provisions AMI waier for
six months, for a crew Of 700 men, and in
case Of offensive operations being decided
on, are susceptible ofreceiving each 10, 900
troops on board. Such fleet, Will, the
powerful armament designed for il, would
command the Gulf against the combined
navies of the world; and would throw, IL
necessary, 1900 men Oh any point, Cuba
OF the adjacent foreign islands--skirt tho
highway Of communication between our At
lanlic sisters of The Republic, and mako
the Gulf as much our property as fii wero
4 lake within a lake within our territory -
Tho Valley Fleet would form an nvulner-
bic 'line of battle for lis defence, across the
Straits Of Florida, end command the route
10 their place Of construction and supplies,
viz: the Valley Of the Mississippi. Tim
plan isa magnificent one, worthy this Re.
public; and although many, no doubt will
hastily i1kc il as he dreamy wanderings OF
a heated imaginaion--an army Of 10000
men, botne by feet ofiwelve iron s,can
vesscls--yet has it been 80 far proved
feasible, that there is now MODEL Of a YES
