THE OLD HOMESTEAD: OR
MIDNIGHT VISITOR.
BY ELLEN WAREHAM,
TContinued.7 I

CoHtutueU.
Night at length came on, and as the
tedious hours passed away, Morris walked
his prison, endeavoring by some means to
e1tricate himself and free Elizabeth from his
fathers power. The clock at last struck
eleven, and weary with intense excitement
he threw himself upon his couch to catch
few minutes repose from the dreadful
thoughts that crowded upon his brain. He
had not lain long when he fell into an un-
quiet slumber, but the clock striking
reused him. He sat in bed and seemed op-
pressed for breath, death like stiffness
prevaded the house which was almost pain
full to bear. A condensed darkness envel-
oped everything around. Suddenly he
thought he could hear voices singing sweet
music, the words of which be could not un-
derstand. At length it came nearer, until
it seemed as though his room was filled
with it. Then soft, radient lights illu-
mined the apartment, which at last became
more brilliant than the sun, yet it did not
effect his eyes. All at once he heard the
rapid tramp of horses hoofs approaching
the house. He listened and they stopped
at the door. The rider dismounted and
entered and he distinctly heard footsteps
ascending the stairs. Nearer and nearer
they came until they reached his door.
The bolt moved back, the door swung open,
and his brother entered dressed in full
riding suit. He bent his eyes full on Nor
ris, and placing his lips as token of silence,
he entered, and the door closed after him
without any visible power. Again the room
became dark, but the face eff his brother was
as bright as though light had been held
to it. Stepping to the mantle piece, he
wrote on the wall with his finger in charac-
ters of fire.
"Brother, fear not my fathers anger, for
there is higher power which shall protect
you from harm. Farewell-we shall meet
again"
AS the last word died on his started ear
the spectre disappeared, and all was dark
as before
edward !" exclaimed Morris, but the
echo of his own voice was all the answer he
received to his call. Retiring again to his
couch, he slept quietly until morning, when
he was overjoyed to fHd that another ser
want brought him his morning repast, and
that it was Father Francis, who had taken
care of him when little child.
''Good morning, master Morris" said the
old man.
''The same to you, Father Francis" re-
piled Morris; ''but tell me where my fa-
ther is," he continued
"He but now left the house." was the
answer.
''Can you inform me for what purpose ?"
inquired Morris.
81 can think more than l can speak"
''Francis, you will not hide aught from
me-
'Not willingly, but for your own good"
''Do you know Of my fathers designs p
81 do"
"Will you help me to escape?'
81 fear that it is impossible, and the at
tempt would be accompanied with great
danger to US both"

and the old servant departed to perform his
work.
The hours sped on, and Morris waited
impatiently for the moment to arrive when
he should be released from his cruel CON-
fnement. As the darkness came on he sat
before the fire AMI watched the Pickering
flames as they wreathed themselves into
many shapes and forms, until the white
ashes had covered the last ember and the
consuming principle had gone. Then he
began to consider what course he should
take in case he should be successful in re-
leasing himself, and soon he determined to
proceed to London, where he had large
sum of money in trust, which had been
willed to him by an aunt, and as soon as
he obtained possession of it to sail for the
New World
While he was engaged in these thoughts
he heard approaching footsteps, and the
next instant his door was thrown open and
his father, Francis, Black Jack, and the
pcacher entered, forcing in Elizabeth, who
was imploring for mercy in the most touch
ing accents, but they needed not her cries.
"Now thou recreant son behold your
fond bride ftly mated for her presumption
with the black menial, and after their ho-
neymoon is over, if you still have any rel
ish for the Africans taste, no barrier shall
be placed il your way" said his father in
taunting tone.

What is The Cause Of Ii.
A 9 ofta ;, as the fac, hoe heon

As oftenIas the fact has been STA
ted, there are many who are igno-
rant Of the cause of all the noise
now made touching the rupture be-
tween Russia and Turkey. Few
are aware that it is all for Christian
ily-pOhtiea Cllristianity-anil yet
it is true. The European W az, nov
in progress, arises out .of the quar-
rels Of the Greek aud Latin church
cs at Jerusalem: the qriarrels OF
those TIN Is ashed, who dispute the
profits Of manufacturing holy relics,
as fierce dogs dispute the possession
Iof a bone, or vullures the filthy

Chinese Femaze Instruction "A

Gently at the city of Ningpo, in Chi

of women and children went to tile

food and money, and when refused,
they broke open doors, and forced
a passage through house walls. =

qnell the first riot by daily distri-
button of aims, which the wealthy
were obliged to provide at various
temples. Subsequently,, terrible
scene occurred I'D consequence OF
these distributions. Through some
mism engagement on the part of the
officers or distributors, the crowd
at one temple became so great that
not lie SIS than forty persons were
trampled under foot, of whom thir-
y-fve were either dead OF dying
when relief arrived. At another
temple similar scene took place
at the same time, but, fortunately,
no lives were lost. Inhamed by
these disasters, mob Of excited
men sacked the residence OF one Of
the officers, and destroyed every

True Consistency.

" There is Il wide distinction between
an adj ference to principles Of the
justice of which we are satisfied, and
a stubbor consistency which disre-
CARDS all change and circumstanc E.
Perhaps the man OF the strictest ID
feasibility of purpose, will vary bis
opinions most frequently. TO the
superficial observer, this man will ap-
pear to he irresolute and vascillating,
and liable to be blown about BY every
wind of doctrine, while to the philos-
opher he will exhibit fidelity to
principle, which is itself subservieht
to.the mutability ofall human things.
OF all faults to be despised in pub
lie men, that Of in consistency stands
preeminent. 1t is the iaseparable
incident to weakness, and some po-
litical economist, With whom we can
not altogether agr BE, has said that a
bad prince is pre- ferable to weak
one. True consist ency holds a mid
die position betwe$ N the extremes of
perversity of mind and that Of So p
pleness to every popular whim and
prejudice.
He who has acd uired the virtue Of
consistency, is gen orally fortified With
a list of fixed principles, which he
rigidly applies to all cases that are
submitted to him. His consistency
performs the func lions Of a chemist,
who selects his we'll tried tests, and
after fair exami hation pronounces
the metal to be precious or worthless.

The War in Europe.

The New York papers of Monday,
|28th ult., contained copious details
ofthe news brought by the steamship
Canada, which left Liverpool on the
18th ult. They will confirm, but add
very little to, the information we
have already published upon the
sta of affairs at the seat Of war =
The success of the Turks had filed
old Europe with surprise; and ia the
absence Of full and precise informa-
ton with regard the operations of the
contending forces and the relative
strength Of the combating parties,
the questions are everywhere asked:
"How did these things happen?-
What is Gortschakof' about, and
what does he mean? What is the
amount Of his disposable force, &c,
&c.?"
To the London Times, which is
compelled, in spite ofall its precon-
ceiyed opinions, to yield its belief in
the accounts received from all quar-
tiers of the success of the Turkish
arms, "from first to last the move
ment of the Russian troops in these
transactions appear unaccountable!'

manhood; there is-no Rsligiop.r
we picked up the other day, in a

the passage placed at the head Of

Having been educated to regard
the principles Of Rspu5licanism as
conforming to The precepts of that
Holy Qae who came to save mankind,

there was any possible reason for it.

the Virtues Twera exalted and adored
in the persons Of the other sex, who
were physically fair and morally frail,
he might have said, '.Ye citizens Of
