The White Satin Domino.

The period of Napolean's career, when at
its zenith, is full of romantic adventures, as
connected with the history of the officers who
served under the great Captain. He was
quick to observe merit, and prompt to reward
it: and this it was that made his followers so
devoted to him, and so anxious to distinguish
themselves by proves in battle, and strict
soldierly conduct in the Emperors service
Colonel Eugene Merville was an attaehe Of
Napoleon's staff He was soldier in the true
sense Of the word--devoted to his profession,
and brave as lion. Though very handsome,
and of fine bearing, he was of humble birth
mere child of the camp, and had followed
the drum and the bugle from boyhcod. Eve
ry step in the way of promotion had been by
the stroke of his sabre; and his promotion
from Major Of cavalry was for gallant deed
which transpired on the battle field, beneath
the Emperor's own eye. Murat the prince Of
cavalry officers, loved him like brother, and
taught him all that his own good taste and
natural instinct had not led him to acquire
before.

House. Better adapted in his taste to the
field than the boudoir, he firts but little with
the gay figures that cover the floor and joins
but seldom in the giddy waltz. But at last
when standing thoughtfully, and regarding
the assembled throng with a vacant eye, his
attention was suddenly aroused by the ap-
pearance Of person in white satin domino,
the universal beauty of whose figure, manner
and bearing convinced all that her face and
mind must be equal to her person in grace and
loneliness.
Though in 50 mixed an assembly, still there
was a dignity and reserve in the manner Of
the familiar address, and it was sometime be-
fore the young soldier found courage to speak
to her.
Some alarm being given, there was violent
ruch Of the throng towards the door, where,
unless assisted, the lady would have material
ly suffered, Eugene Merville offers his arm,
and with his broad shoulders and stout frame,
wards of the danger. II was delightful mo
rent; the lady spoke the ptiTest French, was
witty, fanciful and captivating.

astonished view the face of the Baroness Won

"0h, it was the sympathy Of true love that
attracted me, after all !" exclaimed the young
soldier, as he pressed her to his heart, She
had seen and loved him for his manly spirit
and character, and having found by inquiry
that he was worthy Of her love, she had man

SWEET ALICE Alas lin our juvenile days
We remember a very clever Englishman who,
on all cornwall occasions, sang that his heart
was breaking for the love Of Alice Gray
More lately great many people have been
enquiring of the Benjamin Bolt, whether he
remembers Sweet Alice, and then volunteering
the information that
"That they have fitted up sis5 iis55 Of granite so
gray,
And sweet Alice lies under the stone"
The mystery that has so long shrouded the
name of Alice, is now cleared up That some
bodys heart was breaking for her, is quite pro-
bable.
But the Joke about her being laid under the
granite slab is to transparent The n. York
papers bring accounts Of her arrest in company
with T, Connolly, Philip McArdle, and Others,
for passing counterfeit money. This proves
that the story Of her father, so frequently told
by Mr., Bolt, was n sham--a counterfeit but
better would it have been for Alice to have,

walls, and the iron doors have Been Bolted

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9l.-Sir:-My object in
addressing you, as the conductor OF public
press, is to make known purpose, which has long
been avowed by me, of Withdrawing from public
life.
While ] acquaint such m MEMBERS of the Legs
lature as has not been appraised of the fact, that

NIT the opportunity to pass without expressing,
in sincere, thankful spirit my great obligations
to my fellow citizens OF Massachusetts, for the
honors which they have voluntarily conferred up
on me, and for their reiterated testimonials of
confidence in my fidelity.
The only suitable requital for such expressions
of opinion is an earnest, assiduous, faithful dis
charge of public duty, and my greatest regret is
that my health has too often proved inadequate
to sustain my unceasing desire to be behind no
one in consistency and zeal for the interests of my
constituents, and for those of the whole country.
e That both may go on prospecting, and that the
liberties and privileges which they enjoy, may be
perpetuated is the sincere and earnest wish of
Your obi. serv't, J. DAVIS.

SHOCKING MURDER IN JERsEY.--Proha-
bly, the most shocking and unnatural murder that
we have ever been called upon to record, oc-
Cured on Friday evening last in Washington,
Bergen Co., N j., about miles from Hacken
sack man named VIM. Hating came to this
county few years ago, and took up his residence
with Timothy O'Brien, distant relative, living
in Washington, and shortly after his arrival,
he placed about S $50 in the hands of O'Brien, to
deposit in the Seaman's Saving Bank Of this city,
in 'Briens name, for the benefit of two chill
dren of the latter. few weeks ago, it appears
that Hating, who is about 50 years of age, made
application to o Brien to allow him 10 marry his
daughter, only about IL years Of age, which
quest was of course denied Some angry words
then ensued, and the money in question was
spoken Of when O'Brien said he would draw the
money and return it to the donor. The latter,
however, soon afterwards expressed himself con-
tented with the result of his unnatural request,
and appeared to be perfectly satisfied. Matters
went on as well as before, and on Thursday last,
Mrs O'Bren came to New York city, on visit,
where she remained until Saturday morning
On Friday, Mr.. O'Brien went 10 the farm of Mr.

home, to do some work, and left his protested
friend Rating at his residence, with the children

age IN charge. The nelghbors, on FRIDAY night,
thought it strange that O'Brien's house was all
in darkness. No light whatever was visible, and
this was an unusual occurrence. They knocked
at the doors and windows repeatedly, but no one
answered and all seemed still within. O'Brien
