TERRIBLE SCENE At BALL.-At Madrid few
nights since, a lady gave a ball, and among the
guests were aMr. r. & NH B. 1t was observed
that the young man kept close to the young lady,
and followed her when she went from one part Of
the room to another. It was also noticed that she
seemed greatly annoyed with his attention. The
mother Of the young lady wished to interfere, but
the mistress Of the house, anxious to avoid an
pleasant scene, prevented her. At late hour
lady of high rank and her daughter were announced
and the whole party rose to receive them. Mr.. R.
taking advantage of the slight confusion which
this created, seized MIL B. by the hand and wis
pcred something in her ear. She turned pale, then
blushed, and then replied in q low voice. There
upon the young man without saying word, pull
ed poignard from his pocket and stabbed the
young lady in the breast and then stabbed himself
near the heart. Both fell bathed in blood. A
surgeon was Immediately sent for, and on his ar
rival he found that the wound on the young lady
was not mortal, as the poignard had struck the
sternum, but the young man was quite dead
Mr.. R. had long since sought M'll B. in marriage,
but that she had refused to accept him, and that
meeting her at the ball he again pressed her to
accept his addresses, but that she had again per-
emptorily refused. i io sra -a dsiaq

FRIDAY, MARCH l6, 1866.


How many times a day is this question asked
and who knows the intense anxiety which burns IN
the bosoms of each and all rs they make the in
quiry? Who knows but this one expects letter
from an affectionate wife and doating children !?
that on. from mother, father, sister or brother
or that one from her whose image is constantly
before him Oh how long the time seems, and
will mail never come? And then too, there is
the business man, with what eagerness he watch
es every arrival, to know whether the letter he
may receive will bring him good or bad tidings?
lie becomes nervous and irritable--is disposed to
anathcmatize Uncle Sam and his agents, and in
this mood he continues until his fears are rcmov-
cd BY the perusal of the letter he has been so long
looking for. There, too, is the emisrant, who
for months and months has received no tidings
from hon,e,--and whose yearning heart pines for
the I" lctthucr" from his dear native land how
anxously he tread, the walks of the busy city,
and inaurcs-''Has a mail Gomez" So, too,
with the hardy pioneer, who has left his sc house
hold gods - behind him TO seek his fortune in the
West. Each day of delay appears month to
him. Perhaps he imagnes sickness has entered
the domestic circle, ana death has stolen one Of
TO receive but one short letter, announcing that
call is WE'LL" And then, too, there may be some,
who. in an evil moment violated the law of the
land, and are refugees from justice. They,
watch the coming of the mail, trembling lest an
exposure will follow. 1t is not so much the real
ization as the anticipation which harrows the
mind, and makes us miserable, and he whose con-
science is troubled by the committal of some
overt act, may we'll pause and inquire-''Has a
mail Gomez"
Little do we know the Workings of the minds Of
those vino are iourncying with US to the grave
how much they have suffered from suspense nor
how cheering few lines from thos, they love
will tighten the burden Of their labors. Each
heart knows its own trouble, and each heart seeks
consolation from congonial soul. Let us then
hope that the mail ,riH come, and that all will re-
ceiye such news rs will tend to make them better
and happier beings. Eureka /! the mail has come

Life in Nebraska.

A correspondent of the New York Herald,
has the following picture. Every man to his
taste, but, as for ourselves. give Us the COM
forts of civilization:
Talk of comfort and pleasure, surrounded
bv the turmoil and confusion of a city life,
why, it 10 not more to be compared 10 this than
wolf meat to good jerked ~venison. Ten mil.
lion acres of the lovliest country in the world
around us-not q white man in twelve or III
teen miles-no corporation restrictions, or &C.
tons for trespass-plenty OF geese, ducks,
brants, deer, wolves, prarie hens &C, &C,
within rifle shot-plenty good coffee and whis-
key to drink-no wives to scold at us-no
women to tsase-no heating feather beds to
sleep on-no formalitiss to be bored with-no
rents to pay-and plenty Of good strong buck
skin breeches to wear. Why, we would not
change one hour of this glorious natures life,
surrounded by lovely scenery fresh from the
hand of God, for months Of pampered city life.
There is an unalloyed pleasure in it, concerning
which our old fogiedom Of the States know Is
little how to appreciate as q HottentOt does Of
the blessings Of civilization, or . hog Of the
clories of salvation. s s..
But yoDdsr comes . team from the settle-
meets, two days out. ] must see iii brings
any newspapers from the States or letters from
loved ones away. Reader, il you come this

he do. He stood in deep thought, the captain
meanwhile curiously watching the workings of
bis expressive face; at length he put his hand
into his bosom, and drew out his little Bible,
and without one word put it into the captains
hand. The captain opened to the blank leaf
and read:

blameless conduct there and elsewhere. From

Capt. Mcleod was not a pious man, but he
could not consider the case before him with a
heart unmoved. The little fatherless child,
humbly before him, referring him to
the testimony of his Sunday School teacher,
it was given in his little Bible, touched a ten.
der spot in the brest of the noble seaman. and
Willie heartily on the shoulder, said:
