Brilliant Ghetch,
THE BRILLIANT L0CKET.
A STORY FROM REAL LIFE.
CHAPTER 1.

Irwas the Autumn Of the year 1900 when
the Republican army under Ney, Moroccan,
Lamb, Cyr, and other of lis hravest gcncrais,
was pursuing its victorious career, and laying
waste somc Of the most important towns in
Germany, that the circumsta nee we are
about to rc'S;c took place.
The freqneut want Of stores, ammunition
and money, in the Republican armies, and
the hope Of plumber, then SO frequently held
ou. to the French soldiers rs the reward Of
victory, caused no inconsiderable alarm in
the breasts of the more peaceful inhabitants
of those places which were considered likely
to become the theatre of hostilities.
Among these, the inhabitants of Ger
man town of considerable mportance-and
which, for distinction, we will call Ebrstcin
had ample reason for their misgivngs; !;
the daily, almost hourly approach Of the
French being expected.
The family OF Paul kinmayer, a merchant
citizen OF great wealth, was among those
most agitated by the affecting intelligence.
Ills household consisted of his wife and only
daughter, and few domestics in whom he
could place confidence. His daughter was
the spring which regulated every action of
the merchants life. She was the apple Of
his eye, the sunshine of his shady places,
for her he accumulated his wealth, that her
rare beauty might win with it a station Of
rank and influence; and the hope of a
whole lifetime might be wrecked in few
brief hours.
His wife was the first to suggest a Ian for
the concralment of their treasures Their
mansion was situated near the extremity Of
the town, and from it a secret passage com.
municated with a bower in the garden ad.
ininng, from thence, in the evening a man
might easily steal unperceivcd to the adjacent
woods, aud there she proposed that the mer
chant should at night time bury his treasure.
or at any rate, that he should proceed through
the forest and deposit it with a relation who
was to be trusted, who would not be suspect.
ed of possessing so much wealth, and who
resided about two days journey from the
place.
For time, Paul kinmayer resisted every
importantly of his wife Who would protect
item should the anticipated attack take place
in his absence! The domcstics were old
and infrm, and they would be much for
others not akin to them. But when his wife
spoke upon the future; when she impressed
ON him that it was wealth onl y that would
be required of thenl and that, deprived of
that al for which lie had struggled, which
would be scattered in a moment, his resolu-
tion gave way,
81 go," said he, "and leave you in the
trust of one whose all powerful hand will
protect you; unless, indeed, in his infinite
wisdom, he deems it fitting that the innocent

CHAPTER III,

On the return Of the merchant, the French
army was cvacuating the place, and carried
with them the trophies they had wrested
from the conquered Austrians, and large
supply of stores and plumber from the devo-
ted town. Panl's heart dried within him as
he stralthily entered the suburbs, and pro-
cecded towards the place Of his residence.
Within the town was confusion and dis.
may; here were open storehouses rlled of
their contents, the very doors torn from their
hinges; there, were the rim gardens Of the
richer classes broken down and tramped
over, in the market places were groups Of
the middle and lower classes, loudly com.
planning of the exccsses Of Austria and
France. Still Paul stopped not to join the
outcry: his own anxiety was his own home.
A; length he reached his dwelling. With
what pang of intense anxiety he rushed
in through the open portal. The servants
had evidently fled; The stairs bore the marks
of heavy footsteps. Paul stopped not to
examine them, or he would have seen that
they were traced with gore.
With the speed of thought ho rushed into
the accustomed sitting room, and there
horrid spectacle awaited him. On the ground
lay his wife, stabbed through the heart, one

man town of Ebriesten :" enquired the Of.
fcer
The dull eye of the stranger seemed lit up
suddenly with liquid fire, as he answered
in the affirmative.
"It was my first campaign" continued
the officer "Aly father was one of the bra
vest (he meant, one of the most blood-thirs-
ty) leaders of the revolution. His influence
obtained for me commission; and crowned
with success found no difficulty in earning
for myself promotion. In the action allu-
ded to we were allowed but two hours to
make what pillage we could in the town OF
Ebrestcin, before we proceeded onward to
greater and more G lorious victories. Well.
there was Il iewcler of great wealth whose
house was pointed out to me by an Austrian
prisoner; we entered, but in which neither
Jewels nor portable valuabes could we find.
The servants fled on our first entrance; the
wife and the daughter alone remained. The
latter had locked themselves in 4 room. which
we soon burst open; we demanded Of them
their valuables; the trumpet had already
sounded to horse, and was preparing to
leave the house, when q gold chain around
the neck Of the elder female attracted my
attention. There was attached to it"
I" 4 portrait!' asked the stranger, in tone
of ilI.concealed anxiety.
Don't interrupt NE" said the narrator;
"the story is drollcr than any one would
imagine"
The blood of the stranger came and went
rapidly, and, putting down his pipe, he was
observed, for the moment, feeling about his
pocket, as if in search Of some missing ar
ticle.
"Youre right, it was portrait, and in
most valuable setting. Provoked at obtain
ing no booty, demanded it Of her; she
should have had the worthless miniature, but
she was obstinate tried to force it from
her, but she resistcd-nay, more, she tried to
seize a pistol from my belt, and in the heat

German.

CHAPTER ".

Mortally wounded, but not dead, he who
had braved tue heat of hundred battles,
and whom death had spared that he might
make more suitable atonmpnt for his guilt,
was carefully removed to private apart
meut.
Paul, who might have escaped in the con.
fusion, did not attempt to do so, and he was
of course taken into custody, and incarcer.
atcd in one Of the dungeons Of the police.
The following morning he was led forth
for examination; the wife Of the fallen Off.
cor, he was told, would be his accuscr, But
he walked with frmer step and a lighter
heart than usual. One portion of his mis-
sion had been accomplished; he had avcng-
ed his wfc's death, but he found no traces
of his daughter.
Onreaching the place Of examination, he
was commanded to stand a shriek--a long,
agonizing shriek-was heard, and the pros.
ecutrix fell senseless on the floor.
Restoration was applied, and on her re-
covery, the cause Of her agitation was soon
apparent:
at is my father" she said, and breaking
through the crowd, she again fell senseless
in his arms.
The impetus Of her fall caused q locket TO
drop from hor bosom, where it was still sus.
pended by chain. Paul Kinmayer snatch
ed it up. Yes, it way the name-the circlet
of brilliants; but now it contained the por.
trait of-whom! Of his daughters husband,
The murderer of his rife.
Passing her to one of the attendants, the
old man smote his breast, and called aloud
in his trouble
"Was it for this thou vert preserved, my
beautiful, my pure!'
In consequence of the state of the witness,
the examination was postponed, and the
same evening the dying man requested that
the prisoner, together with the chief of po-
lice, might attend him.
On their arrival life was ebbing fast. The
confession of the officer was brief; he ad-
mitted the murder of PauPs wife, and the
Justice of the retributon; lie further confess
ed that the daughter, being almost child,
was carried away by the soldiers to the rear
of the army; and she was forced from the
apartment previous to, and knew nothing of
her mother fate; and that, repcn,ng of his
act, he had her conveyed to Paris, and edu.
Gated; her loveiness increased; and she,
only known to him as a benefactor, at last
consented 10 marry him.
This confession was attested and forward.
ed to the Emperor. Meanwhile the friends
of the officer came forward as prosecutors
his wife refused 10 do so. The murder in
the latter case was fully proved, and Paul
was sentenced to death.
On the morning appointed for his execu.
ton, he was reprieved, and suffered to enter
monastery, where lie soon sunk under a
broken heart.
With his wealth which was considerable,
he founded convent for the "Sistcrs of
Mercy" and in the still beautiful abbess,
whose piety and benevolence have, with jus.
tice, been lauded and admired, may be dis
covered the unfortunate daughter of Paul
kinmayer.
Give a child his will, and whelp his fll,
and neither will thrive.

o,st upon his degradation lru e",.r,..l'
repulse him; no social etiquette perpetually
to gall him with sense of his inferiolity.
"Far from unimportant as this question is
to the whole of North America, it has for
Canada an interest perhaps more wcighty
than for any other portion Of the continent.
Since the Northern States of the Union, un-
der the operation the Fugitive Slave law,
have ceased to afford safe asylum for flsi-
tivcs from slavery, Canada has become the
sole immediate subterfuge for a class that at
one time distributed themselves over the
whole extent of the free States. Some ten
thousand fugitivcs are stated to have taken
refuge on this soil since that law went into
operation. Whether we regard the move,
ment in social, political, or economical
sense, it is impossible not to look upon this
Eruption as an evil and although philanthro.
py may welcome and bcnevolence may as
sist the successful fugitive who has eudcd
his pursuers, reason tells us that the element
thus added to our population is by no means
of the most desirable kind 10 refuse them
an asylum would be an act Of prescription
at once arbitrary, cruel, and indefensible.
BUTT is quite another thing to 60 out of our
way to encourage negro immigration to this
province; to attempt to make it a focus of
negro colonization, not merely for those who
are in danger of being rccapturcd and con-
veyed back to slavery, but also for the ne
groes of the North who were born free. II

indulgence, future generations may have
cause to regret the social effects it must in.
evitable produce A Hamilton contem-
porary adduces evidences of the deplorable
additions to the criminal calendar of Upper
Canada, induced by the influx Of unusual
numbers of those persons into this province.
The western journals not unfrequently con-
tain similar statement, and of the occupants
of the Toronto Jail, a short time ago, a large
proportion was of that class. The victims
ofslavery are entitled to every commiseration
and those benevolent persons who feel it their
duty to direct the destiny ofthese unfortunate
beings should at least direct them to coun-
try for which the most intelligent of that
race have expressed a preference over every
other as place Of settlement. If they must
help the Airican-and they will find plenty
of scope for the broadest philanthropy in do
ing so-let them do the best thing for him
and for all concerned; direct him to the
country which OF all others is best adapted
to his constitution and his necessities, and
where alone he can, in every sense Of the
word, be thoroughly freeman"

EDUCATION OF BoYs.-We know not who
is the author OF the following paragraph,
but it contains sound sentiments which
ought to be treasured up by every parent
and guardian in the land:
"Every boy should have his head his
heart and his hand educated. Let this truth
never be forgotten. By the proper educa.
ton Of the head, he will be taug what is
good and what is evil, what is wise and what
is foolish, what is right and what is wrong.
By the proper education of the heart, he will
be taught to love what is good, wise and
right, and to hate all evil foolish and wrong.
And by the proper education Of the hand, he
will be enabled to supply his wants, to add
to his comforts, and TO assist those around
him. The hig hest objects of good edu.
cation are TO reverence and obey God, aud
to love and serve mankind. Everything
that helps us in attaining these objects is OF
great value, and everything that binders us
is comparatively worthless. When wisdom
reigns in the head, and love in the heart, the
man is ever ready to do good; order and
peace smile around and sin and sorrow are
almost unknown"

NEGROES IN CANADA.

"How TO dispose of the negroes" is I
question not confined to the southern side o
the great lakes. 1t is pressing itself upon
the attention OF the Canadians with contin.
ually increasing force, and suggests conclu.
sions widely different from those propounded
by the noisy sympathizers with the Garri.
sons and Douglases of our country. The
ridiculous resolves of busy bodies at Toronto
and one or two other places in the Canadian
peninsula have been TOO often mistaken for
the Judgment Of the people generally; and
frequent references to the underground rail.
roads, which conveys runaway scamps from
Detroit to her majesty's dominions, have
served to give plausibility to the mistake
The fact nevertheless remains, that the in.
structive dislike to the idea OF the equality
and amalgamation of the two races pervades
the mass of The settlers in Canada to an TX.
tent as great as in New York or Ohio; and
that the settlers view the influx Of negroes
into their midst as present injury to their
property, a drawback to their social pro.
gress, and source of much future trouble.
The Colonisi, perhaps the best conservative
journal in the province, has consistently oc.
cupied this ground; and now we find the
Leader one of the recognised ministcrials
organs, following suit with a plainness and
vigor which pust CRATE harshly on the ears
OF can't. The Leader takes the bull by the
horns" manfully and dsposes of it with a
candor which from such d quarter deserves
acknowledgment. We copy some points
from its article:
Whatever wrongs American slavery may
have inflicted on the African race, it may be
doubted whether it has degraded them below
their original condition or whether, after all
they have suffered, they be not more inteli-
gent, more industrious, and equally as virtu-
Gus as when our foreflthers stole them from
their native shores. The African is in fact
enslaved in his own country and by his own
race; and nothing but superior intelligence
can rescue him from his original barbarism.
There is now in operation an enterprise that
promises to achieve the social elevation 'of
the African race on their native soil. The
establishment of negro Republic in Liberia,
which affords a congenial asylum to the free
negroes Of this continent, deserves to be
ranked among the most important enterprises
of the age A sound and healthy necleus of
a vast emigration from North America has
been formed and the American Colonization
Society is destined to direct from these shores

of the town, until it was wl,rsr..-
that he WAS mad; and SO, for time, he was;
but anxiety brought WEAKNESS, and repose
led to recollection.
How deeply Paul Kinmayer reproached
himself for not taking the miniature with the
other valuables, need not at this time
be related, since he little doubted that his
wife's resistance to part with it led to the
fatal catastrophe One rcdeening thought
only flashed across his mind, that by its
agency-if, indeed, she had not shared the
fate of her mother-he might be enabled to
discover the missing daughter. To this end,
he resolved to devote the whole of his fu.
turc existence; and after the funeral Of his
wife, he disposed of his house, the wreck OF
his household goods, and prepared to travel
whittier, lie knew not; but anywhere to fly
from the scenes where all his hopes of earth.
Iy happiness had been blighted by the ruth.
less hands Of the destroyer.
"And these" he said, as he turned from
his native town and home, "arc deeds per.
petrated uuder the sacred honor of liberty
Alas how is the divine attribute desecrated
How little but the name exists in the blood
thirsty dynasty of Frauce!'

THE PRODIGAL SOlJ.

Affections though they seem severe,
In mercy Oft are sent
They stopped the Pro'ligal's career,
And caused him to repeat
Although he no relcn,ings felt,
TIL he had spent his store;
Ills stubborn heart began to melt
When famine pinch'd him sore
" What have san'd by SIM" he said,
" Bat hunger, shame, and fear;
My fathers house abounds with bread,
While | am starving here.
I'll go and tell him all I've done,
And fall before his face:
Unworthy to be call'd his son,
III seek servants place"
His Gath.r saw him coming hack,
lie saw, and ran, aud sml'd;
And threw his arms arcund thcncck
OF his rebcllious child.
