A "RoYAL" TYPo.-According to an
ancient usage in Prussia, all the Princes of
the royal family must learn a trade. 1t is
stated that the Prince Frederick William.
Just married to the Princess Royal Of
England, learned the trade of compositor,
in the printing Office of Mr. Hauel, at
Berlin.

MoRMoNDUM-It is stated that Doctor
Bernhisel, the Mormon Delegate in Con-
gress, has recently received letters from
Brigham Young, in which he predicts the
annihilation Of the United States troops
now in Utah, unless they are recalled by
the Government. He also suggests the
appointment of commission to proceed to
Utah to inquire into the condition Of affairs
there.
The journey Of Captain Marcy from Fort
Bridger, the headquarters of the army Of
Utah, across the mountains, to New Mexico,
was attended with incredible ha-dships.
The party, numbering forty-three all told,
left the fort on the 2sth Of November, and
reached Santa Fe about the 25th Of
January. The route they passed over had
never before been traversed in mid winter.
In the mountains they encountered snow
storms of great seyerity-storms such az
the intrepid Fremont was compelled to
turn his back upon. In one stretch of two
hundred and fifty miles the party waded
through snow from two to five feet in depth.
For eleven days they subsisted on mule and
horse meat, without bread, or so much az
a pinch of salt. 1t is a marvel that,
Notwithstanding these hardships, but one Of
the men died on the route, though many
of them were badly frost-bitten. The
animals Of the expedition suffered severely.
Forty out Of sixty of them died of cold and
starvation. Captain Marcy was sent to
New Mexico to purchase animals for the
army, and was to return to Fort Bridger as
soon as his arrangements were completed,
escorted by force competent to protect
him from the attacks of the Mormon
guerrillas.

Ey The resources of North Carolina for
Iron making, is thus set forth in the
American Railway Times of the 9Th inst,
in an article on the Iron production of the
Uuted States:
"North-eas:ern Tennessee and North
western North Carolina have nine furnaces
and forty bloomery forges in a compact
area. Along the base of the Cumberland
Mountains, five furnaces and fourteen forges
use the Deystone fossil, upper Silurian ore.
In the Southwestern corner OF n. Carolina
are five forgcs, and through the middle of
the State runs belt Of five furnaces and
twenty-seven forges. This whole country

day one Of the gIeat centres"
A lady in Cincinnati has recently had a
remarkable experience with new Irish girl.
"Biddy," said she one evening, we must

but no sausage appeared.
"Where are the sausage, Biddy?" the
lady inquired.

1 have just learned of a terrible tragedy which
occurred in Marion Co.. Kentucky, on Thursday
yesterday
Mr.. Van Cleave, a wealthy farmer living in that
county, fogged his negro woman severely, when
the husband of the woman (also a slave belong
ing to Mr.. Van Cleave) became very angry, and
used INSULT ny language to his master, whereupon
the master ordered him to be tied up and whipped
also, but while they were taking off his coat TO
tie hin, he drew a butcher knife and killed Henry
Van Cleave, the son, on the spot, and mor.ally
wounded Daniel Thompson.
The negro has been arrested, and is now in Jail.
The officers had great difficulty in restraining the
people from taking the negro and hanging him on
the spot.-Cin, Gazette.
BLOWN UP.-On Christmas night, the house of
John Chafee, Minden, L., was blown up by a key
.Og powder, which had been placed under the bed
of Mr.. Chaffee. by the negro cook as it is supposed.
The cook had recently been purchased in New Or

OBITUARY.

DIED.--Oct. 10Th, at the residence of Eli
Thomas near Colesburgh Iowa, of Consumption,
SAMUEL W. eldest son of John Hammond, in the
18th year of his age, Purity marked the life of
the deceased. Throughout his illness, when
one by one each golden cord of life was sundered,
cheerfulness marked his mien, as though twere
given him to look through the dim and indistinct
realms of Earth, to a more bright and glorious
life beyond the grave where all is peace
and joy. His mind was clear and undimed to
the last. The stern mandate of disease brought
no terror to him but calmly and gently he passed
from Earth to Heaven, like one who wraps the
drapery of his couch about him and lies down to
pleasant dreams.

"WHERE THERE is A WILL, THERE is A Way
The border ~rufians in Kansas are verifying this
old adage. Mr.. Dictator Calhoun, confident that
he had a pro.slavery majority at the State election
provided for by his bogus constitution, inyitedtsle
free state Speakers of both houses of the %territor-
ial legislature to be present at the counting of the
votes. These gentlemen accepted the polite invi-
tation, when 10, there was a free state majority
for the officers under the Lecompton Constitution.
How to get that majority on the other side was
now the question with Calhoun. when fortunately
he remembered that a part of tho election returns
were made to Acting. Governor Denver, instead Of
himself. These votes he has declined to count,
which gives the legislature to the Ruaians.

at Antwerp, and of the wonders and miracles of
Alpine Scenery were presented with a graphic
power and seli.evident fidelity to the truth OF Art
and Nature, which compelled the auditor to see
and almost feel all that was seen and felt by the
traveller himself. We have heard many lectures
on European life, art and scenery. But do not re-
member one from which we carried away so many
valuable facts and impressions of the old and
grand, the beautiful and sublime objects that con.
stitute modern Europe.

The Farm Girls of New England.

Simon Brown, Editor of the New England
Farmer, in speaking Of the women in the farm
ing districts of New England, says
I" find a large proportion of the young women
willing to remain upon the farm SO long as
brothers will stay. and society is made up of
two sexes instead of one.
On their part they are fitted to adorn.. society,
are usually well educated, and read papers and
current books and arc, often acquainted with
classical literature they are quick to catch the
manners Of living as they rise, and prove that
Paris is but step from their rural homes.
Hontons, and talmas, and crinolines rustic on
the hills or by their crystal streams with more
unaffected grace than on the dusty paves OF
Boston and New York, while their fair occu-
an is are buoyant with health and elastic spir-
its, and fitted to dignity and bless existence.
Such should become the mothers of our land.
In all my rambles find parents childless up
on large farms, deploring the absence OF sons
at California or the West, and the once pro
ducton acres and tidy buildings neglected anc
gone to decay. | said to the only child remain
ing at home of large and prosperous family
The farm has its advantages and charms as
we'll as the city. and there is less temptation tt
err
Yes, said Rebccca, the farm has its attrac
fractions, but it lacks society it is life OF
confinement the dairy demands constant at
tention and hard work, and hired men are some
times difficult to please, after we have labored
carefully to provide for them. Society is broken
and meagre the young men flee to the city
wander to distant lands, leaving the young wo-
men in charge of the farm, and to sootho anc
comfort the declining days of their parents.
Such was the language of highly intelligent
affectionate and noble women, and it represents
the settlements of a large class.
Who has eloquence and pursuasion sufficient
to arrest the attention of young men and con-
vince them that in leaving the homes of theil
fathers and their old childhood they leave priv
ileges and advantages, already established
which it may take a life of labor to acquire il
distant lands.

this rebellion will be crushed, and then, when
your lover is dangling from tree in the ago
MES of death, you may remember this
" That time will never come, sir--never. The
men you contend against go not out to fight for
gold, like the hirelings which you command
They fight for liberty to worship God as they
choose for liberty of thought and speech and
action for their homes and children; for more
than life. And when they go forth they pray
to the Being who has implanted these lohgings
for freedom in their bosoms for strength to re-
pei the foreign invaders who would crush them
to the dust. They will conquer. A Just God
hears that prayer as he did those of his people
OF old, He watches over the carnage that He
may give victory to the right
She arose as she spoke, her bosen, heaylng
with the emotion which moved her. while an
eloquent light illumined her eyes A glorious
creature was she, standing there to defend the
cause of Freedom. Her manner awed the man
before her, and for some moments he knew not
what to reply to this sunden outburst of feel
ing.
"My words will prove true, Mabel and then
perhaps you will regret that you needed not the
warning have given you
. | seeno danger, and regrets will do no good
should it overtake me-
As you please, then. But mark my words,
Mabel the time will never come that witnesses
you Mark Lncoln's bride"
" You at least have no power to prevent it,
was the calm reply
" Perhaps not; but wait and see, Mabel.
You may be mine yet--mine without love, if it
must be-
"Sir, this is an insult. Leave me-your
presence is hateful.'
81 will do as you wish, Miss Archer, To-
day came here to ask your love, and you have
spurned me. When | come again different
motive will govern me"
You can go, sir. A man who would insult
and threaten woman, must indeed be brave
when facing those who fight for Freedom. Your
country doubtless is proud of you"
He turned away without speaking but the
look which dwct upon his features spoke more
than words could have expressed.

CHAPTER III.
THE TORY LOVER.

Three miles distant from Mark Lincoln S
camp there was u clearing comprising perhaps
sixty or seventy acres, the property of Mrs.
Archer, q widow who had settled few years
previous to the dawn of the Revolution. She
was accompanied by her daughter and negro
serving man, who took charge of his mistress
affairs, and accomplished whatever work was
required in the planting and harvesting of the
crops. No one knew from whence they came,
and while they soon won the love and esteem Of
the hardy settlers around them, yet in regard
to her former residence, or anything connected
with her early life, she was silent and reserved
The question was often broached to her in yar-
Gus indirect ways, but she either evaded it or
told her interrogators frankly that she did not
wish to enllghten them upon the subject of
which they were so desrous of knowing some
thing One thing they had learned not from
her own lips, but through the negro, that she
was of English descent, though whether she
had ever resided in England they were unable
to determine
J Mrs. Archer was woman far above those
around her in intelligence, and from her richly.
stored mind her neighbors were furnished VITA
much that interested and instructed them
Calm and dignifed in her bearing, as If she
had been wont to mingle in the higher walks o.
society, yet she never by word or decd showed
that she realized the difference that existed be-
tween them; and her simplicity, and frank
genial nature won, as we have said, not onl,
respect, but even love- She rarely mingled
with her neighbors, for her failing health s.l
dom permitted her to leave the cottage, an,
then only in the balmy days of Spring or til
golden ones ef Autumn. 1t was not mere
physical suffering that confined Mrs. Archie
at home, for the care lines so deeply trace
upon her noble features, onca of resplonden
beauty the traces of which yet fingered, wer
not caused by bodily pain But the min
bore It's load of sorrow, which was slowly an
surely loosning her hold upon time, and has
tening the final period of her dissolution. Ha
there been some one to whom she could hay
conhded the secret sorrow which burdened he,
the load were half removed but there was n
one, for even Mabel, her child, was not in tn
enc thing a sharer of her mothers confidence
Yet despite tins gloom which hung over he
the sunshine of perfect peace ilumned I'll
chambers of her soul, making it bright wit
the hope of another life after this mortal sha
have put on immortality. 1t was the reAoctio
OF that peace which caused the smile that ,
times rested upon her face 50 genial that
seemed to extend its effects to all who beheld !

| " You may be right take three or four OF
the men and go back to the Inn, and if he is
there, bring himalong''
The Tory started to execute this order, and
riding to the head of his men, the Captain led
the way in an opposite direction. As the shad-
ows began to lengthen, the Tories came to a
halt in an open glade some three miles from the
Inn. The meal was eaten, but still the men
sent in pursuit of the maniac did not return.
His plans, if in possession of the maniac,
might all bc thwarted, for there were strange
reports of his connection with the American
forces ander Putnam, and he might at any time
be obliged to contend with force double his
own. He began to wish he had not sent the
man in pursuit of the maniac when they rode
up.
" What nows?" Re eagerly asked of the
eader.
" No clue to the maniac He has not beer
seen on the premises.
" Strange how he could have disappeared
unseen by any one But to tell the truth,
am glad he has escaped:
Glad he has escapod?" repeated the mar
in astonIshment.
Eyes"
" And why?"
Simply that | wouldn't harm hair of hi
head for all the gunieas between here and To
phet"
"Then why did you order his pursut?"
Because did not think twice. They say
he's connected with the devil, and if he is, il
case he came to his death by our hands,
reckon his ghost would haunt lis as long as W,
live"
The man gazed at his leader, as if unable t,
ascertain whether he really believed what HI
had uttered, but the look of sincerity whicl
dwclt upon his face carried conviction with it
and impressed his own mind with something o
the superstition of the Tory leader.
"Ive heard the settlers tell how he IL repea
whole chapters of the Bible and wears one owe
his heart to keep away bullets" said the man
g and now half believe it.
True or false, I'll swing up the first mar
that dares to lay a hand on him. Set thu
watch, and then we'll get some slaop.'
The man departed to execute this order, hi
mind filled with strange conjectures in regar'
to the maniac. As he passed along he did no
notice weird form leaning against tree OIL
the outskirts of the camp. He did not see this
nor the wild CLEAN of pair of eyes as the,
wandered over the Tory camp, as if in Searcl
Of form which was not among them. A low
scornful laugh echoed from the maniac's lips
and he muttered in almost incoherent tones,
+" - they would not harm me-would no
because they dare not-becauso their craver
hearts would cringe before me like slave before
his master. Ha ha ha ! but | wouldn
harm one of them But if he were there, i
he were there, I'd be revcnged, The fatcs fl,
vor me, he cannot escape. All in good time
all in good time,' and with these words upol
hislips, the maniac moved away, and his form
was soon lost in the gathering gloom,
