sembling a cradle. When this was completed he threw his helpless captive into it at full length, with his face upwards, and passing strips l of hide through the apertures of the cradle from his feet to his neck, bound him fast that not even sinew might be moved. Then taking the corpse of his wife- fated Minamee he placed it face to face with the prisoner. The mortified wretch clenched and ground his teeth as the body pressed upon his, but no groan escaped his lips His blood-shot eyes revealed the anguish of his soul, still he would not speak. In few minutes the living and the dead were lashed together. The breathing man and pu- trid corpse, fostering in corruption, were as one. When this much of the horrid work was finish ed, the trapper stood with folded arms and with fiendish smile, surveyed the advancement of his task
 And now to complete it." said he, lifting the load lightly in his arms, and placing it lengthways on the back of the horse tethered on the green sward. The animal snuffed the air, and would have plunged from his burthen had not the well known voice of the trapper soothed and quietcd him. Still he stood with fiery eye balls and dilated nostrils ready to fly from his own shadow as he felt the offensive steneh issuing from the cradle. Girding it in the same fashion as he had done with the bodies, around the lons, ribs, and neck of the horse, he so contrived to fix it that neither jolt nor jar could move it from its firm position.
 "Now, my eagle of the rock" said the trap per, addressing his horse" my untamed uni- corn, you shall for the first time since you left the prairie grass, feel the effects of the lash," and taking punishing switch in his hand, he struck the animal sharply until wrought to a pitch of fury and pain. Flakes of foam flew from his mouth, and streams of precipitation rolled from every part of his skin. Leapng into the air, like a stricken stag, he strove to snap the bond that held him. At length, with one terrific plunge and cry of terror, he broke away with the speed of thought, and swept through forest, swamp and wild, with madness in every stride on, on he went The flood was passed, the prairie gained, still on he went. A wild piercing shriek broke on the unbounded waste and lent new fear to the maddened horse on, on he went The noontde sun dart cd his rays, unbroken by leaf or bough upon the over loaded steed but still his gallop was un- slackencd. His feeting shadow became ggan- tic in the falling light, and still he continued on The pale moon tipped the clouds with her silver light, and yet his speed was unabated.
 'Tis said-but even in whisper by the hunt CTS of the far west, that the horse may still be seen securing the plains where the footfall of man is seldom heard, with his load of the living and the dead.

BAsHruL MEN.-We never yet saw a genu- inc bashful man who was not the soul of honor. Though such may blush, and stamncr, and shrug their shoulders awkwardly, unable to throw forth with ease the thoughts that they would express, yet commend them to us for friends.
 There are fine touches in their characters, which time will mellow and bring out ; percep- t:oas as delicate as the faintcst tint of the un- folding rose and their thoughts are none the less refined and beautiful that they do not flow with the impetuosity of the streamlet.
 We are astmished that such men arc not ap- preciated-that ladies with really good hearts and cultivated ntellects will reward the gallant Sir Mustachio Brainless with smiles and attcn- tions because he can fold shawl gracefully, and bahdy compliments with Paris;an elegance, while they will not condescend to look upon the wortbier man, who feels for them reverence so great that his every mute glance is worship.
 The man who is bashful in the presence of la. dies, is their defender when the loose tongue of the slandcrer would defame them it is not he who boasts of conquests or dares to talk oi failiuss that exist in the imagination alone his cheek will flush with resent, his eyes flash with anger, 10 hear the name of woman coupled with coarse oath; and yet he who would die to defend them is least honored by the majority of the sex Who ever heard of bashful Iibertine The anomaly was never seen. Ease and elegance arc his requisites upon his lips sits fattery ready to pay court alike to blue eyes and black he is never nonplussed-he never blushes. For glance he is in rap,arcs, for word he would professedly lay down his life. Yet it is he who fills our city dens with wrecks of female purity it is he who profanes fhe holy name of mother desolates the shrine where domestic happiness is throned ruins the heart that trusts in him polutes the very air he hreathes ; and all under the mask of a polished gentlemen.
 Ladies, word in your ear Have you lov- CTS, and would you possess worthy husband Choose him whose delicacy of department, whose sense of your worth leads him to stand aloof, while others crowd around you. If he blushes, stammers, even, at your approach, consider them so many signs of his exalted opinion of your sex If he is retiring srd modest, let not thousand fortunes weigh him down in the bal ance for, depend upon it, with him your life will be happier with poverty than with many another surrounded by the splendor of palaces.

 There whispers in my ear A voice that speaks of Heaven and thee, And bids me seek thee there.

The Richmond Enquirer has way Of
stating the issues involved in the Presi-
dental contest that must be very cogent to
those who swallow all it sets forth as gospel.
Here is sample:
'Black Republicanim is downright open treason in
fidelity, hcentiouSness and agraranism Wemust put Il
doEn-eNeninate it-not cOncilns or compromises With
snow we turnto the Democratic candidate. Mr. Bu-
chsnan the national the conservative the UnionoFng
candidate He only represents and leads the Of
his country aud the Union; but religion oality Christ
ian marriage the rights to private property and every
moral Christian and social duty Snd obligation look to
him as their champion"
There is one item of this thatwe don't
quite comprehend, The ain6delity, icen-
tiousness, and agarianisn,' , must be all right
for the Enquirer says it; but how electing
an old bachelor President over widoVer-
on one side and an exemplary husband and
father on the other, is TO uphold ''Christian
Marriage" or how such Marriage should
"look to him as its CHAMPION bothers US.
The Enquirer is in favor of the Union,
too--on conditions. If Fremont can be de-
feated, it is for Union, if not, for Disunion.,

LANCASTER BANK.

The stockholders of this institution held a
meeting on Saturday last, at which the COM
mittee previously appointed made the follow
ing report:
The Committee appointed at a meeting Of
the stockholders Of the Lancaster Bank, held
at Fulton Hall on the 22d ultimo, to investi-
gate the affairs Of the Bank, beg leave to re-
port that they have discharged that duty, and
find that the statements of assets and liabill-
ties, presented by the directors to the stock
holders at that meeting, is substantially cor
rect, as far it is possible to ascertain at this
time. ~
The Committee also find by the certificates
obtained from the engravers and printers OF
all the notes of the Bank since its organiza-
ton as a Bank, that they correspond with the
issues exhibited on the books of the Bank
The Committee are therefore of the opinion
that there could be 70 over issue, unless the
notes reported on the books as burned were
not so destroyed, and again fraudulently put
in circulation. We have no reason to think
that such has been the case.
The Committee deem it inexpedient at this
time TO report to the public the causes of the
suspension Of the Bank inasmuch as they
have assurances from the principal debtors Of
the Bank, previously reported as doubtful
that they are making every effort to discharge
their liabilities, and because an exposition at
this time of the miSmanagement of the Bank
would greatly prejudice the chances Of the
recovery of considerable portion of the as
sets which are put down as doubtful
The Committee therefore recommend to all
Interested parties, believing it is not their in
terest at this J.me, 20 expose the mismanage
ment Of the Baak. a. such a course would
only augment the personal liabilities of the
Stockholders, and would tend to retard the
speedy resuscitation Of the Bank, an event so
anziously looked for by the business cOmmu-
nifty.
The condition of the Bank as compared
with the statement made to the Stockholders,
Nov. D, 1856. is as follows:
Nov. %. Notes in circulation, S724,869
Dec. 6, 552477
Reduction Sl72,392
The assets reduced similar in amount
Resolved, That the Committee be discharg-
ed from the further consideration of the sub
Ject.
Lancaster Bank, Dec. 6, 1856.
Several propositions for resuscitating the
bank were made, and referred to a committee

R0ll0way's Pills, Cure for Sick Headache
and Bile.-William Kaners, of Dover, Maine,
was, perhaps, one of the greatest sufferers
from sick headache and bile, scarcely day
passed without his feeling the dreadful effects
of these formidable evils, he put himself in
the hands of the doctors, but they did him
no good, in fact, he became worse, until his
sufferings were more than human nature
could bear, and he almost sunk under them
fortunately for him he commenced using
Holloway's Pills, which acted upon the sys
tenn, cleansed the bowels, cleared the head,
and by persevering with them for eight weeks,
thoroughly restored him to health. He has
ever since been entirely free from these dread
full attacks.
