was only to try your heart. then, and
,hicken the plot, said Ferris to the blush
ing girl.
At this moment the door opened and the
beggar whom Ferris had twice relieved en-
tered, and stepping up TO Ferris solicited
charity. Anne recoiled at first at the de-
jected appearance and poverty stricken
looks Of the intruder, while Ferris asked
in establishment how he had gained en-.
trance into the house. In moment the
figure rose to stately height. and casting
off the disguise it had worn, discovered the
person OF Anne's father.
The astonishment Of the lovers can
hardly be conceived.
Il determined said the father address
ing Ferris, 'after | had otherwise proved
your character, to test one virtue, which
OF all others is the greatest, Charity. And
had you failed in that, you would also have
failed with me in this purpose Of marriage
You were weighed in the balance and not
found wanting. Here sir is your frs,
purse, it contained six dollars when YOU
gave it to the beggar in the street-it now
contains check for six thousand; and
here is your second that contained five dol
lars, which is also multiplied by thousands
Nay said the old man as Ferris was
about to object to it. there is no need o.
explanation-it was j fair business tran
sactiOn'
! This was Of course all mystery to Anne
but when explained added to her love fol-
her future husband.

SINGULAR SUlCIDE.-We find the follow
ing account Of a singular suicide in the
Eaton Preble Co. Register of yesterday.
The young man could not have had much
brains to blow out, but it's pity he got
rid of what little he had.
We learn that young man by the
name Of Noah Davis. aged about 10 years.
residing in the vicinity Of Bank Spring
Meeting House. Somers Township. Pre-
BILE county, put an end to his existence on
Monday evening. the 18th inst. by shoot
ing himself. The cause Of the rash act.
as related 10 US. appears to have been OF
rather a trivial character. He had attend
ed meeting at the Bank Spring church, the
evening before Sunday where he inn
agined himself Tilted by young lady,
whose company he solicited at the close
Of the meeting, but the Proftered ga!lantry
was declined. on the ground of prior en-
gagement. Late in the afternoon of the
day following, he left home with his rifle
went to the church aforesaid. and after
placing his hat upon the seat which had
been occupied by the young lady alluded
to, deliberately shot himself. The exPlo-
sion of the gun within the church, attract
ed the attention Of persons in the vicinity,
who upon entering found the misguided
young man lifeless corpse! Inc ball
had entered Immediately below the under
lip. passed through the roof Of the mouth
and lodged in the front portion OF the
head.

Proscription---Mr. ,I.Gaughcy.

Mr.. M'Gaughev, the Union tell US, was
rejected by the Senate, not because his
character or qualifications were disputed,
but because he was opposed to the Mexi.
can war; in other words because he was
a Wing We believe thet. in fact, the
reason was even more pitiful than this
Conceded to be in every way admirably
qualified for the place, Mr.. M'Gaughey
had crossed the path Of some Of the Loco
Focos from his own State. and they de-
manded his rejection, by way Of revenge.
from their party adherents in the Senate.
This is most discreditable to those who
took part in it, But the case is bad enough
as presented by the Union, which must be
deemed the organ of the majority of the
Senate. 1t shows determination to force
the President into a course Of policy most
emphatically condemned by the People in
the election of November last. The oppo-
stion are determined that the Administra-
ton shall exercise the power which tho
people have given them, only in conform
ity with the wishes Of those whom the PEG.
ple rejected. They announce their insen.
ton TO "renew the battle" upon this issue.
To all this we can have no objection. X
must be understood at the outset, however.
that the warfare on the part Of the Senate
i. apaist the PEOPLE. They have placed
Gen. TAYLOR in power, and have confided
to his hands the dispensation Of the pat
ronage belonging to his Office. We have
no, the slightest fear that they will not sus.
tain him in carrying out the policy and
principles which they have sancfioned.-
II the locofoco msjority in the Senate de-
termne that Wings cannot come in. they
must remember that they have not the
power to determine also that locofocos
shall not go out If the "battle is TO be re-
newed" the blows cannot well be Ill on
one side.

One Of the greatest misfortunes, says
French writer. which France ever had TO
lament. was the divorce Of Louis lie Jeune
from Elinor Guyenne, which resulted from
the fashor which this prince wished to in
troduce of shaving his chin and cropping
his head. The queen. his wife, who APP
pears to have possessed, with masculine
beauty. considerable accuteness of intel
lect, observed with some displeasure that
she imagined herself to have espoused a
monarch, not a monk. The obstinacy OF
Louis in shaving himself, and the horror
conceived by Elinor at the sight Of a beard
less chin. occasioned France the loss Of
those fine provinces which constituted the
dowry Of this princess; and which devolv-
ing to England by a second marriage,
became the source Of wars which desolat-
ed France during 400 years.
