She made no objection to accompany him
on his errand of mercy, little suspecting the
cause why her husband had thus. and at SO

most fearful character, and one which at

This was fearful picture for Blanche Her

This was neither from repentance nor The
fear of punishment, bit they thought they
saw before them the ghost Of the murdered
man, Notwithstanding they heard him speak.
There'was some trouble in convincing them
to the contrary. They were then bound and
led to the out house, where the horrible deed
had been committed, anxious to see how the
enigma would be solved.
The prisoners appeared tolerably collected,
at least calm and sullen, but when on enter
ing the room, they perceived the body which
lay on the bed, the son fell senseless to the
earth, and the father threw himself upon 4,
with loud lamentations, clasped the bloody
corpse, and exclaimed, despairingly:

The murdered man, was, in fact. the
youngest son of the host Drunkenness, was
the only fault this young man had, and. til.
might instead of being, as father and brother
supposed, in his own bed, he had gone out
secretly, and been carousing, with some Of his
eompanions, at the ale house.
Soon becoming sufficiently inebriated, and
fearing his fathers anger, if he appeared before
him in that state, he intended to pass the night
in the detached out house, as he had often done
before. His companions had accompanied hin
tllither, and helped him to climb up to the win

g WHO ARE THEY 2"
A QUESTION OF VITAL IMPORT.

How often, in our democratic land, the
query which forms our caption has caused
the aspirants after aristocratic distinction to
shudder, and how silent become their voices
of high pretension, when, by some unfortu-
nate remark, or the recalling Of some remin-
iseenee, they haze been forced to take ret
respective glance into the past for few gen
erations. Happy are they if memory does
not wake up a sturdy ancestor pounding the
leather upon his lapstone, or that necessary
craftsman, the tailor, plying his busy needle
upon the shop-board. The morbid desire of
us republicans to be ignorant Of the Uulgar
calings of life, is often very amusing; and
the struggles to rake up pedigree, to give
character to growing prosperity, has often
caused more trouble and yexation than the
building up of fortune, which it was neces-
fsary thus to adon.
e Who are they :" was the general query
at soiree given by high United States
officer, atthe city Of Washington, short pc
rod previous to the death of the lamented
I General Harrison. The parties who called
forth the query were western member Of
Congress and his highly. gifted lady. The
member was in the prime Of life, of acknowl
edged talents in his profession, and betrayed
in his manners, the high breeding Of gen
tleInan. A conscious power lent ease to hi'
| frankness, and the men Of the west clustered
s around him with pride. His lady, simply
b attired, attracted all eyes; her distingue fig
: ure and intellectual face proclaimed her
peerless woman, and when she smiled a ra,
r of heavens own light bealhed forth from hu
man eyes. There was kindness in he
e smile which won hearts before they kne1
l. her; there was no hollow mockery in it;
e came forth from a happy heart, and wher
a its influence fell, good feelings sprung up an
1t sweet thoughts clustered; but-Who is she
n All, that's the question; and how often tn
:, inquiry was passed from lip to lip durin
al that evening Amid the throng in whic
is they moved, and wherever they fingered, a
S admiring coterie surrounded them. Tt
j. husband was strong man in the polite
IS world had accepted aseat in Congress mo-
er to crafty his friends than IN accordance vii
:, his own wishes, and his party felt strengt
ey ened by his presence. His lady ever dist
