A MARVELLOUS SToRY.--The Lock
port N. Y. Republic has the following,
which comes under the head of marvel
lous if true" .. ..............
About three years ago, a girl was walk
ing on the beach of the lake north of this
place, with a young man, to whom she re-
lated wonderful dream Of the previous
night, in which it was revealed to her that
she should find large sum of money upon
the shore. The young man was to have
half for assisting her in the search. Di-
rectly they came to dead body, which
from its appearance, and the size of the
head (nearly as large rs bushel basket
had evidently been in the water for some
time. $50 sfS3 2sg"~ 10
At that sight they both tainted away.
but soon recovered, and venturning to
examine it, discovered about it belt con-
taining a large package of money in bills
this they counted and found the amount
as stated '.sl ..-E.H.E aH
They buried the body to prevent dis
covery and also the money, which they
agreed not to disturb for three weeks
At the expiration Of the time, the young
man returned to the place; the money
was missing. His companion acknowl-
edged she had taken it, and would take
care Of it until he was twenty, which
would be in three years.
AS this time has expired, he demands
his half which she answers by denying
the whole statement. The young man
tells his friends, and it spreads like wild
fire. Report says, large company OF
men, armed with spades and shovels, are
to-day looking for the bones Of the buried
stranger. The excitementhas been much
increased by the fact that a propeller was
wrecked there three years ago. and that a
gentleman supposed to be a Spaniard, a
stranger to the passengers who were saw
ed, was lost. tff 5..z. ,atsp tp t
Some parties formerly rather hard up,
report says, have been very flush of late,
speculating very largely in real estate and
making great show generally
LATER.
We just learn that bones answering to
the fact Of the burial, have been discov-
cred in the woods about mile from the
beach. '@1 80

the applicants at his shop, who having
bought small lot and found it to pass
without objections, send $50 or SlOO for
large supply which he cody pockets and
shuts down the gate, leaving his fellow
knaves to whistle for their money.

OyE or THE RxsuLrs OF PoLIrIcAL
PREAcHINo.---It has been stated, Oh au-
thority ofthe Babtist Almanic, that last
year the Babtists in Maine, New Hamp-
shire and Vermont suffered total decrease
Of 727 members, while the net increase
in all the New England States was only
49,. This is evidently tho result Of the
introduction Of politics into the pulpit
Never before in the history Of the Ameri-
can Baptist church was such story told.
Not alone in the Baptist church, but in
every other whose ministers forgot their
sacred calling and entered the arena Of
politics, we have the same result. A fall
ing off in church membership is not the
only evil brought about by political par
sons they have driven many into the
ranks Of infdeli,y.--14rgus. m. ..s

Ms Ibegan life by running away from home.
Boileau, we are told, was driven into his
career by the hand of fate and the peck of
a turkey. Atilla started in life with no
other cause and capital than an old sword,
which he was adroit enough to palm off
for the divine weapon of Mars; and Ro-
bespierre owed his political career to wet
ting his stockings, and there heard ''the
words which burn" which fired his soul,
and determined his course in life. NV
running away from home came from a
minor modification, caused by carrying
pretty girl over the brook. !. rq .r''
Donald Leon and myself were good
friends at fourteen years Of age, and we
both regarded, with little more than friend
ship, pretty Helen Graham. "our eldest
girl at school. We romped and danced
together, and this lasted for such length
of time that it is with feelings of bewil-
dermcnt that look back upon the mys-
terry Of two lovers continuing friends
But the time came, as come it must. when
jealousy lit her spark inmy boyish bosom,
and blew 1t into a consuming fame.
Well do remember how and when the
'"green eyed" perpetrated the incendiary
deed. 1t was on a cold October evening,
when Helen, Donald and myself were re-
turning with our parents from neigh
boring hamlet. AS we approached a ford
whore the water ran somewhat higher than
aacle deep, we prepared to carry Helen
across, as we We're accustomed to do, with
hands interviewer, "chair fashion, and
thus carried our pretty passenger over
the brook. Just as we were in the mid
die Of the water-which was cold enough
at that time to have frozen anything like
feeling out Of boys less hardy than our
selves-a faint pang of jealousy nipped
my heart. Why it was / knew not, for
we had carried Helen fifty times across
the brook ere now, without emotion. but
this evening / thought or fancied that
Helen gave Donald an undue preference
by casting her pretty arm around his
neck, while she steadied herself on my
side by holding the cuff of my jacket.
No flame can burn so quickly or with
SO little fael as jealousy, But before we
had reached the opposite bank. was
wishing Donald at the ''bottom of the
sea-" Being naturally impctuous, burs,
out with H5ra
eye need na hand sac gingerly, Helen,
as if ye feared ia. can aye carry ye
lighter than Donald can half of ye.''
Surprised at the vehemcnce ofmy tones

that We were both strong, and that she had
no idea Of sparing my powers. But Don
