A MINER RoBBKD.-One of those
gentlemen who have been fortunate
enough to make their piles by hard la
Dor in the mines, arrived in town night
before last, with about 90 ozs. of gold
and 5000 in coin, and put up at the Nj
antic Hotel. When he retired to bed
he took the usual precaution Of storing
his treasure and revolver under hi-
pillow all carefully covered up with his
pantaloons, and no doubt betook him
self to a night Of pleasant dreams.
Morning came and found him the UNI
disturbed posscssor Of his own room and
bed. He then arose and thrust his hand
under the pillow to draw forth the hard
earned sinners, bnt to his great disap-
pointment the eagles had flown, and
even the inanimate "dust" by some in
applicable change, had acquired the
power of locomotion, and moved away.
Some Of the thousand rogues who lay
around public places watching for just
such victims, had entered his room with
false keys whilst some Of the "Faires Of
the Dream" were tickling his wandering
fancy with the pleasures Of home made
glad, had withdrawn the treasure and
escaped unobserved. The unlucky man
was from Iowa Hill. We advise any
others who may come from his locality
or any where else, to deposit their mon
sy in the iron safes Of their landlords, Or
one of the banking houses before they
think Of doing anything else. Time,

it. Some minutes elapsed. The IN
spector waxed impatient. A suspicion
Of the truth flashed across Roberts mind
and he too descended the hole. There
was the coat and the license Of the pas,
month in the pocket; but the owner had
gone, vanished and an excavation on
one side which led into the next hole,
and thence intoa complete labarinth
under ground, PANTY pointed out the
method Of escape. Seeing no use in
ferretting the delinquent out of so dan
gerous . place, the inspector sulkily
withdrew, though not without venting
some of his i'll humor upon Robert, at
whose representations, made the day
previous, he had come 20 far out Of bis
road. s...4
But let Us return to Nike. By a
happy thought he had suddenly renem-
bcred that whilst working some days be-
fore in the hole, his pick had let in day
light on one side, and the desperate hope
presented itself to his mind that he
might make a passage into the next pit,
which he knew led into others, and thus
escape. His success was beyond his ex-
pectation; and he rcgaiBed the open air
at sufficient distance from his late
quarters to escape observation. Once
able to reflect calmly upon the event Of
the morning, it required little exami-
nation tot FIX upon Robert his real share
in it. And now there was no time to
lose in returning to Mel bourne, and pre-
vent, by speedy marriage, any further
attempt to set bis intended father-in-
law against him. The roads we're dry,
for it was in the s,,ltry month Of Febru-
ary, and two days saw him beside his
lady love.
Although railroads are a. yet I'M
known in Australia, everything goes on
at railroad speed; andia marriage con
cocted one day is frequently solemnized
the next. His e3rgerness therefore was
in no way remarkable. No time was
lost; and when three days after Mixes
return, Robert with his head full Of
plots and machinations) presented him
self at old Hinton's door, he found them
all at a Widespread wedding breakfast,
round which were gathered merry

DO YOU OBEY YOUR MOTHER

Charles r was the son Of q poo
widow in the city Of NJ B. He and ,
younger brother were her only earthly
comfort and care. But when. about ten
years of age, he began to 60 with wick
ed companions, and yield to their wishes
in disobedionce to his mothers com
mands. Charles loved her, yet when
tempted to do wrong forgot her kind
ness, and the grief he would occasion.
Like all habits, good and evil, disobedi-
ence became stronger every time he was
guilty Of it; and sins which were once
thought Of with dread, Charles, before
he was twelve years old, committed
boldly. s1sR aaae3 bsa ssai1r@- .a.i'
One morning police officer, whose
business it is to arrest criminals, called
at his humble home, and took him away
to be tried for stealing. The little fell
low cried, and 50 50 did the lonely mother.
After he was found guilty, it was deci-
ded to send him to the sReform SCHOOL,
in distant city. The next news
Charles mother had from him, he was
very sick. An epindemic prevailed in
the institution, and he was among those
most dangerously i'll. A benevolent
man gave Mrs. money to pay the
expenses ola visit to the sick boy. When
she arrived at the large building in
which he was confined, she entered a
room where several lads were lying on
their small beds, in pain, with no moth
er to watch over them. She looked a.
round for the familiar locks Of hair above
the pale face of her son. But she
sought in vain for the one for whom her
heart was ycarning. Then an attendant
came and told her that he was Too I'll to
be there; he was in another room.
The weeping mother fastened to the
apartment, and in moment she saw the
emaciated features of her Charles. It
was sad and affecting meeting. After
she had talked with him uutil her tearl
fell on his feverish forehead she unfol.

it on my breast; I want it near my heart.
And soon he added, Does brother mind
you, mother Sometimes she replied.
%, tell him to obey you always, always;
if I had done so, I should not be here.
And he buried his fearful face in the
bedclothes, and sobbed.
Mrs. T-saw that Charles must
die, and begged permission to stay all
night in the room, and sleep on the floor,
or watch by his side. But this was
contrary to the rules Of the Institution,
and she left him with a breaking heart.
In the morning he was delirious, and
soon after died. The same kind gentle
man who helped the widow when she
went to see Charles, sent for the bedy
and last autumn, as the leaves were dy-
ing, it was laid in the grave upon which
for the first time the SHOWS of winter

What Shall be Done I

The discussion as to what shall be done
at the Wing State Convention is still con
tnued by portion of the wing press.-
Some appear TO favor an organization en-
bracng all the opponents Of the Nebraska
outrage. whilst others are for going forward
in the old track. opposing this measure to
the bitter end" without offering any spe-
cial inducements other than declaration OF
principle adverse to il, to such of It's enemies
as have acted in the ranks of other parties.
Some we suppose, would be disposed to
place the name OF a freesoler upon the
State Ticket; others desire clean wing
ticket
The Wings and freesoilers, with great
many heretofore numbering themselves with
the loco'oco party, agree in opinion respect
ing the character OF the Nebraska BILL
They are one in their feelings of detestatlon
of the outrage, but the difficulty is in obtain
ing united action. Could this be done more
than two-ihirds of the freemen Of the State
would vote in opposition to II. We do not
believe that, with all the influence of the
subsidised press, and the most active efforts
Of other tools Of the administration, more
than ten thousand votes could be obtained
io- the measure in the state.
We doubt not that with such State
Ticket as the wings are able to make up
from material in their own ranks, they can
carry it over oil opposition. Necessity.
therefore, need not constrain them to turs
from the usual course, yet IN view of the
enormity of the measures proposed
by the administration it is desira-
able that all such as are opposed TO thea
should, in some way, utter their united con
demnation of the great schemes for extend
ing slavery and Of bringing the free states
Of the Union under the perpetual dominion Of
the slave power.
In view of the difficulties suggested to a
union Of the interests referred to in forming
State Ticket cannot the same result iol
all practical purposes, be obtained by coun
ty organizations
With the right state Of feeling existing
among the opponents Of Nebraska Is moi
such plan practicable and consistent? W,
start the queries, with disposition to abld,

with the expression Of the decided opinion
that the circumstances Of the times warrun

ting an end to Entertainments of the slave

Is tho Whig Party Dissolved Z

Our readers will observe that very ex.
citing scene occurred in the Senate the other
day. in which sMessrs Bell, Toombs and
Badger figured. The story is brief, but i'm
porant. A caucus of the Southern Uhig
Senators was held weeks ago, which voted
IN favor of the Nebraska bill, and also su.-
gested that the National lnteligencer be
required to support the bill Bell was there,
as a Southern Wing, by invitation but he
did not choose To commit himself, aud says
he did not do So Subsequently, he opposed
the bill, and voted against it to the last
Wheroupon Toombs ia renegade whig, who
affiliated with locoiocos TO get his election
took Bell 10 task and accused him of treach-
cry to this Southern Wing caucus Others
Joined in this assault on Bell, aud Bell simp-
" told them and the country repeatedly
and most cmphatically their charge
was false. Now observe Southern Wing
Senators hold caucus in which no North
ern Wing has part this caucns proceeds to
act upon most important political and M
tional question, and takes Il stand without re-
gard to the Wing party Of the country. Aud
at last, the consplrators endeavor to blast the
fair fame Of a distinguished Southern ~ big,
because he dared to dissent from the ir ac-
ton. Did these Southern Wings dissolve
and Withdraw from the Wing party, when
they took this stand, or are the Northern
Wings to recognize them as the Nhg party,
and desert, assault and ruin every Wing who
does not obey their behests ? Possibly
somebody may be alarmed-possbly some
body that calls himself Whig: but we
venture The opinion that the southern Sena-
torid caucus was dissolution of the Wing
party to all iaients and purposes as far as
the Senatorial representatives, Of the South
ern Wings could make il. They have
stepped out OF the National wing party, into
the democratic pro-slavery party. They
have dissolved the old partnership, vamosed,
run away. OF course the Wing party has
the right to form a new partnership, and 10
rcpudiate all debts which the retiring part
uors may hereafter contract.
