Frank Howard.
OR GETTING AN ENDoRsEA.
BY OLIVER OPTIC.
CHAPTER I.

SHAPTER l.
My friend Frank Howard was drv goods
dealer on Washington street. When made his
acquaintance, he was one Of the most active and
successful statesmen in the trade; and being q
prudent man, had saved a small sum of money
with which, and the credit he might be able 10
obtain, he proposed to commence business on
his own account.
Among his acquaintance he had the good
fortune to include wealthy merchant, who's e
judgment had led him TO form lofty estimate
of the business capacity of my friend.
To him the young aspirant for mercantile
honors stated his case, and the conference end.
ed in a voluntary proposition on the part of the
merchant TO supply the goods necessary TO
stock his store, and taking lis notes -the
first Of which would fall due in one year in
payment.
The arrangement was completed, and in few
days, Frank found himself installed in new
store on the best part Of the street, ready to
strike for his fortune.
The notes had not been signed, and one even
ing on some business connected with them,
Frank called, by appointment, at the princely
mansion of his worthy benefactor lie was
ushered into the sitting room, where the mer-
chant was reading the evening paper. BY his
side was beautiful young lady, to whom his
patron politely introduced him.
My friend belonged 10 that anomalous class
of beings styled handsome men-at least The
ladies' all said he was handsome, though for
the life of me ! never could tell wherein his
beauty consisted. But, as have no partic-
ular fancy for masculine beauty, it may have
escaped my notice, or the natural selfshness
Of mankind may have prejudiced my jndg.
ment.
My friend was acknowledged by all the la.
dies to be remarkably handsome man, and
probably this was the secret of his immense
success as a salesman. Whether he reckoned
his beauty one of the items of his stock in trade
when he went into business, am unable 10
say; but have not the least doubt, he based
his hopes of success 10 great extent, upon the
Influence OF his progressing personal appear
ance.
Frank fixed his eyes on the young lady, as
the merchant-who had as he entered, half
read a money article in his paper-turn to
finish it. Miss Allen-such w2s the name by
which she had been presented to him-was
busiy engaged in erochet'ag little silk Nurse
and she bent over the work. Frank was
perfectly satisfied that he had never seen SO
pretty face in his life.
And then the neatest, most graceful little
foot in the world, protruded from beneath a silk
dress-a foot which completely turned Frank 5
head, so that he forgot all about the notes and
the merchant.
Without the least regard TO etiquette, polite
ness, good breeding, and all that sort OF thing,
he stared mercilessly at her, and never, for even
The fraction OF a moment, removed his gaze,
not even allowing himself the luxury of wink
ing, lest the time thus employed should be
lost
Frank was perfectly sure that hshad never

a r:iost singular case Of suicide took place
last night about ten o'clock, that has been our
fortune TO notice, Of a German citizen by the
name Of Pfifer who was connected " it'll drink
ing establishment in this city.
1t appears TO have been a clear case Of pre-
meditated self-murder, and one of the most de-
termiRsd in character upon record. He loaded
the gun "a double barrel fowliDg piece,) with
shot, went TO the door, discharged one barrel,
but without effect, and then discharged the 9TH
err almost instantly. The charge as the muzzle
of the gun was directed towards his throat, en-
tered under the chin, near Ewes apple, lodging
the whole charge in his head. He lived only
short time afterwards. What was the cause Of
this horrible deed, is not known to any, but the
supposiiOn is, that intemperace was the sole
operating agent. He leaves wife and children
to mourn over this tragical occurrence, of

II has been stated in the papers, that Nathan
Fryes house, in Salem, Mass, was shattered
BY lightning notwithstanding it had two light
ming rods. On examination il was found that
the conductors were both badly put up, which
was the cause Of the mischief. After leaving
the chimneys, they were so fixed as TO ascend a
little before going TO the ground. This prevent
ed the lightning following them. Norod should
ascend after commencing lis descent 10 the
ground. The lightning will not run up rod in
