to place in him IN time to come, and how the
course of his present progress fails to oblit-
crate any of the vestiges of the past And
what past, in its relations to his present
positioni For behind him looms, and will
ever loom, like volcanic island thrown up
from the sea, and belching fire and smoke to
wards an otherwise serene sky, the repeal of
the Missouri compromise, that act of his own
lamentable creation, from whence has issued
this very Kansas lava-food, and call our
woe" Yet, though himself the author of
that very measure, in which many of the
Democrats in Congress and large portions of
the party North and South, though with many
migivings both of principle and policy, man
fully sustained him, Mr.. Douglas is the first to
desert his own scheme, the first time it comes
to any practical application. Et tn Brute,
might well be the mournful appeal of the
Genius of Democracy to this new conspirator

Horrible Occurrence.

On last Tuesday night, Mr.. Edmondson
young gentleman of Marshall county, Miss,
with his two sisters and his brother-in-law
John Anderson, Esq, of this place. was wait
ing on our wharfboat for an up stream boat.
The Josephine Savage was the first to arrive
1t appears she was racing with the Eclipse
which was close behind-and would not take
time to make fast to the wharf-boat.
Mr.. Anderson, who was in a very sickly
condition, was carried on at some hazard ::
to prevent being left behind, Miss Edmondson
had to jump aboard at the risk of her life
The mate was earnestly requested to delay
moment for the rest of the passengers and the
luggage. He stated che would do sou but
almost in the next breath halloo'd to the capt
tain -all right" In an instant the boat was
under way, with the stage plank still extend
ed over her guard and on to the wharf-boat
Mr.. Edmondson, who was standing on the
wharf-boat experimenting the shipment of his
baggage, was tripped up by it. knocked be-
tween the boats, and mangled in a horrible
manner.
The consequences of this sad occurrence to
Mr.. Edmondson, and his already afflicted fam
lily, are dcplorable indeed. The old gentle
man awaits in grief the arrival of his strick-
en- son-in-law, but what must be his feelings
when he sees also his multilatcd son, ruined
if not brutality slan-in the flower of his
youth, and all this Occasoned by the miscon-
duct OF the officers in not waiting to make
their boat fast, and permitting the passengers
to go aboard in the usual manner-HeLe,la

Noel's picture went When the excitement

vanished. After a week or two she began to
get more than ever pale and anxious.

one day. ''They reject manp pictures."

known Academy" whittier it was gone had
been boundless repertory. Receiving this
new idea drew towards my godmother with
strange sympathy. OF late | had begun
dimly to guess what Noel's success or Noel's
failure were to her. From that day forward
we looked and waited for news together. 1t
was hard for her, | think, but in her anxiety
she had no other cOmpanionship than mine.
After three weeks the decision came. 1t
came in letter which had to lie with us a
whole afternoon unopened, for when it arrived
Noel was from home. 1t was eyening-almost
night-when he returned. As he came in, he
took it from his mothers hand. and Carri0d it,
standing with his hack to us TO the window;
elsewhere in the room there was no light to read
it. There he opened it, and, having read it,
stood utterly silent.
She had not sat down. After few mo-
ments she went up to him and laid her hand
upon his arm. He turned round at the
touch and looked at her; they each looked at
the other. She never asked to see the letter.
He only said:
I've cannot help it, mother"
Then she tried to answer him, and broke
down. He took her in his arms, and kissed
her again and again. But he said no more to
her: he left the room without another word.
She had sunk down into seat beside the
window. After little | went up close to her.

feet and took her hand and put it to my lips
In the darkness she cried little. we both

heart.
For many days after this night, throughout
the house there was an underlined anxiety and
restlessness. My gOdmother had been deeply
grieved, but Noel was unhappy with bitter
sorrow to which hers bore no parallel. He
never spoke of his disappointment; it would
have been better if he had; but he brooded
over it until he wore his strength away. Slow
ly but surely, he became bodily i'll: he grew
so gaunt and thin, that, with his flushed hollow
checks and burning eyes, he used to make my
heart sad to see him. 1t was in vain that my
poor godmother would urge him TO take rest
do not think he could help it: he could not
rest. he worked until he could work no
more. One night, when Mrs. Erickson and

Where is NIr. Douglas 10 Go .

The Boston Courier an old line wing paper
which supported Mr.. FILLMORE, answers this
question in the following article:
We have given up almost all idea of prin-
ciple among large portion of members of
the present Congress- and the inducements to
a politician, like Mr.. Douglas, To reunite him.

than any likely to be afforded by his recent
allies. In either event. 10 us il seems his
doom is sealed. In the ranks of either, such
position as he may be able To maintain by his
personal qualities and abilities, he will have;
but his course in Congress preeludes him from
being hereafter the standard-bearcr OF u num-
erous party in the country

Mr.. Douglas took position On the suolect

no There is a most novel law suit in
Rhenish Bavaria. A sugar manufacturer has
his property along side of landowner, who
owns bees. The farmers bees, as is natural
steal the manufacturers syrup, and hence, as
the Bavarian manufacturer cannot sue the Ba-
varian bees, he sues the Bavarian farmer for
the value of the extract the bees make from
his syrup. We have not seen the process rer6aI,
and cannot, therefore, say how the damages
are TO be estimated; but we presume, as the
presumption is the bees steal all their honey
from the syrup. the value of the honey made
will be the damages given

DR.. SCOTT AMONG Us.-Among the arrivals
by the Philadelphia yesterday evening, we are
pleased to notice the name of the Rev. DIR.
Scott, of San Francisco who comes out to
attend the Presbyterian General Assembly,
which is to meet in this city shortly. DIR.
Scott will no doubt be warmly welcomed by
the hosts of friends who know him so well
and so long as pastor or the First Presbyte-
rian Church of New Orleans. 1t is under
stood, we believe, that the Doctor designs set
Ting again in this city, and it is supposed that
he will resume his clerical labors as the pastor
of a new church to be erected for him.-N o.

we can account, and think it right to do so.

this city long ago. With strange interest
sat and pondered upon the men who might
have reared those blackened stones-upon the
hands that might have cut those old devices.
They We're all solemn and stern-they were
not joyous. There was no luxury in them of
waving leaves-there were no birds auttering
amidst twisted branches There was neither
JOY nor laughter in the sculptured forms that,
from the grisly heads and outstretched griffin
claws down-to the solemn angels leaning to-
wards the doors, stood in their broken might
and their stern silence.
The yellow light was fading back behind the
starry trefoils of the windows, and Gods stars
were coming out in heaven. But these were
familiar mysteries; did not think of them to-
night. With an earnestness scarcely under

mysteries of the dead hearts of those who once

the starry traceries upon those windows.

= This is by far the most ABSORBING and THRILLING
TALE OF LIFE AMONG THE INDIANS ever published.
The Heartrending Trials Suerings and Privations of
the lovely heroine, BLANCHE BERTRAND, whose life
was in constant peril and who suffered more than pen
relate, during her captivity, will enlist the sym
pathies of every reader.
The popular and distinguished author has executed
his task in mastery In this class of Tales
it is universally admitted that he has equal at the
present day In speaking of this Tale the Ledger
says-''It is a narrative of wild and pcrlOus adven-
ture among the savages of our western border, and
is full of stirring Incidents intensified by poetic fire
and mellowed by subduing pathos At the outset it
takes hold Of the heart wh vigorous grasp and leads
the imagination captive"
The New York Ledger also contains contributions
from the pens Of the following distinguished writer's

And host of other popularEauthors whose naAes con
stanty appear in its columns.
As indication of the popularity of the LEDGER we
need only mention the simple TACT tnat It's circulation
larger than that Of any TEN literary papers in the
country Its great is owing the fact that
the best writers in the country and spares
expense in getting up the PAPER-a paper
of high moral tone.
The exalted reputation Of its wen known contribu-
tors the practical and Enthusiastically pure and healthy
character of all its articles and the which is tax
en- that even one offensive word shall appear
columns have gained for the NEW YORK LEDGER a
position that literary paper has before
pied We feel and always have felt since the LEDGER
attained its immense circulation, that a tremendous
responsibility rested US, and have endeavored to
discharge that responsibility cOnscienously, feeling
confident that ultimately should receive the thanks
of thousands and tens of thousands OF families.
The LEDGER is for sale every week at all the peri
odical stores throughout the United States
The subscription price is 81 per annum when sent
by mail but subscriptions wanted from towns
where there are offices established.
