MIR. SUMMERS REPLY.

NEw.YoRK, March :, 1857.
10 his Ercelency RYLAAD FLETCHER,
GorerH0, u Vermont:
SIR: AT the ast mouent before leaving for foreign
lands. in quest Of that vigorous health which, for
nearly ten months has been taken from me- have re-
teiyed notice Of the resolutions adopted by the Legs-
siure OF Vermont, and approved by your Excelency.
which give the official sanction Of generous, viruous
and intelligent State to my speech in the Senate on the
10Th and 10Th Of May last, exposing the Crime against
Kansas. Such token is precious to m, in every re-
speot; not only because assures me of the personal
sympathy of the people Of Vermont declared through
Their representatives. but because it attests their 10
terest in that cause which is more important than any
peIsop.
But csnrot accept this public approval OF my
speech without seiziDg the occasion to express my
heartfelt JOY that was permitted to make it. and also
nv humble determination, with returning strength to
DO something which shall still further uumask the por
tentous Barbarian which has fastened upon our Re-
public. and installed Itself in all the high places Of
power.
Ihs,e the lonoT to lie. Sir, 1900.
With much respect ycur faithful servant

And her breath grew short and thick /;
and her heart beat wildly against her
boddice; and her pulses fuitered,--and
sunk quite away,-and iluttered again.
The Gay of departure came. William
arrived At the house OF the sisters, At al
most the last half hour lelt him. He took
his leave Of both Of them at once, and
gave littls packet into the hands OF
Ruth as he turned away.
Il was the tokens of afiectionate con.
ISOLATION she pressed on him, shen he sci
forth in sorrow upon the world from be,
meath the old beech treel
Her eyes were bent with look 0
deeply anxious inquiry upon his; bu
not so much as The look did he return
Perhaps he could not. Perhaps hi
thoughts smote him full fearfully, ever
at that late moment.
He passed of down the winding road
Ruth saw no more. Her eyes failed her
but they were not blinded with tears
She could not weep. Tears would hav
been such welcome relief.
The days went on; and the crescen
moons came anew, and faded again in tn
sky.
The tints of Autumn were hangin
upon the dense foliage, and the forest
were clad in huge cloths of purple an
gold.
i Again the full, round harvest-moo
hung, like a globe of silver, in the easter
sky. The chill wind-gusts lifted th
leaves of the old elms once more, an
the still moon glistened ON the headston
of another grave.
The broken heart had done beatin
. Ruth,-sweet and gentle Ruth,--hg
! wept herself to sleep; and cloud of so
row seemed resting continually upon b
r newly-heaped grave.

A FAST STORY.

An Englishman was Dragging of the |
speed on English railroads TO Yankee
traveller seated at his side in one of the
cars of a " fast train" in England. The
engine bell was rung as the train neared
a station. 1t suggested TO the Yankee
an opportunity of stalking down his
companion a peg or two"
What's that noise ?" innocently in
quired the Yankee.
We are approaching town." said
the Englishman. "They have TO COM
mence ringing about ten miles before
they get to a station, or else the train
would run by it before the bell could be
heard Wonderful, isn't it? / suppose
they haven't invented bells in America
yeti"
Why, yes" replied the Yankee
"we've got bells but can't use them on
our railroads. We run so tarnal fast
that the train always keeps ahead of the
sound. No use whatever; the sound
never reaches the village till after the
train gets by"
"Indeedl" exclaimed the English
man.
Fact" said the Yankee had to
give up bells. Then we tried steam
whistles, but they wouldn't answer cith-
er. ] was on a locomotive when the
whistle was tried. We we've going at a
tremendous rate-hurricanes were no.
whar-And j had TO hold my hair on.-
We saw two horse wagon crossing the
track, about five miles ahead, and th,
engineer let the whistle on, screeehin.
. like trooper. II screamed awfully
4 but it wasn't no use. The next thing
d knew, was picking myself out Of
pond by the roadside, amid the fragment
n Of the locomotive, dead horses, broke
II wagon, dead engineer, lying beside me
" just then the whistle came along, nike
up with some frightful oaihs that ha
h heard the engineer use when he first sas
,e the horses. Poor fellow he was dea
ii before his voice got 10 him. After tbs
to we tried tights, supposing these woul
ar travel faster than sound. We got sou
f. so powerful that the chickens woke u
all along the road when we came b
l. supposing il TO be morning. But Il
locomotive kept ahead Of it still, and vi
y in the darkness, with the light close {
IA behind il. The inhabitants petition,
al against il they couldn't sleep with
ly much light in the nighttime. FINAL

How A SUN-STRoKE AFFECTS Me,

How A SUN-STRoKE AFFECTS MEN.
The general impression is, that sun
stroke is very painful, but the contrary
would seem to be the fact, Judging
from the following account Of the eff
feet Of such visitation, given by
General Sir c. J. Napier. He expert
enced an attack when in the Scinde,
when the thermometer, according to G.
N. himself, was Of as much use to him
as it would have been to boiling lob
ster, and wrote as follows to one Of his
daughters: The sun-stroke is a stag
gerer yet my hope is to die of one,
for never can death come in an easier
shape. Twas just deadly sleepy; it was
deadly had | been left alone but the
only feeling Of the transition would have
been tiredness, like that experienced
at being suddenly walked up before time.
This was to degree almost to be called
painful ; then came a pleasant drowsi-
ness, with anger that the doctors would
not let me sleep. Were it not for 9TH
ers, would that my horn had been SCUM
ded-so easy, SO delightful I may say,
was the approach Of death" This re-
sembles the accounts that have been
given by men who have been saved
from freezing to death, after having
got far down into the dark valley so
that the excess Of heat and the excess
Of cold produce precisely the same ef-
fects.

with partially deranged acquaintance,

loveliest scenes and said, "It's great
thing to be God !''-North,cestern
