might be made the means Of permanently
ensuring their own safety. To resuscitate
the murdered Corporal Ruhler in another
quarter, and to charge him with the gull
of the robbery, might serve both ends
It gave chance of escape to Nicholas
it accounted for the disappearance Of the
corporal Hence the letter which repre-,
sented him as alive, as the perpetrator o
the robbery, and as deserter flying tC
another country; which they though
would very naturally put a stop to al
further inquiry after him.
But their plan was too finely spun, and
the very precautions to which they had
resorted, led, as sometimes happens, to
discovery. If they had been satisfied to
allow the proposed letterto be copied out
by the wool-spiRner's wife. as she offered,
to be taken by her to Rotterdam, and put
into the post, suspicion could hardly have
been awakened against them the hand
writing of the woman, who had seldom
occasion to use the pen, would have been
unknown to the burgomaster or the court.
The deaf and dumb youth, to whom they
resorted as their copyist, betrayed them ;
step by step they were traced out-and.
between fear and hope. full confession
was at last extorted from them.
Sentence Of death was pronounced
against the parties who had been con-
cerned in the house-breaking as well as
in the murder, and carried into effect
against all of them, with the exception
of the wool-spinner's wife. who died dur
ing her Imprisonment. The wool-spinner
alone exhibited any signs of penitence.

THE LITTLE STRAW HAT.


Tis dear little hat, and it hangs thers still
And its voice of the past bids heartsrinss thrill;
For it seems Ike a shadow Of days passed DER,
Ofthe bright one gone who that hat once wore.
Tis dear little hat, for cash simple braid
Tells that oft DER its plating those fingers have Paye'
And many wreath for its crown has been twinsd,
To the graceful taste Of his youthful mind.
Yes there silent il hangs, with its curling front,
still as playfuly rolled as has been its won't;
But the golden ringlets which waved below
Have carried their last cluster long ago.
Aye: the hat is the same, but il shades more
Those Hstt blue eyes, as in days ofyOrsi
And the sun-lit smile that danced on that brow,
Can but Light up our hearts sad memories now.
Sad MEMORIES they are-oer their quivsring strings,
Each breath ofthe by gone a trsmor filings;
And Joys that We fain would waken again,
In memory are vreaihed with thrill ofpain.
Then recall not the Past-ihongh the dimPled hand
May never again clasp the braided strand
Though the breeze no longer may bear the tone
ofihs ringing laughter of ehildhOod's own.
All! think of him now, with gltteriug crown
Der his heavenly forehead resting down, .-f
While his fingers stray DER the golden wire,
That blends with his voice mid the ebsrub choir.
Aye: see him now, with the holy light
Pouring broad on his brow, with radiance bright;
And hear the tones which in Heaven have birth
Oh! call him not back to this saddensd Earth!

THE BLUE DRAGON.
A STORY OF CIRCUMSTANTIAL EV.
IDENCE, FROM THE CRIMINAL
RECORDS OF HOLLAND.
(CoNCLUsIoN.)


a merchant in town, who dealt in diff
ierent wares, and lived in the neighbor-
hood of Madame Andrecht's house, had
been absent on journey of business dur
ing the discovery of the robbery, and the
course of the subsequent judicial proceed
ings. Scarcely had he returned and heard
the story of the robbery. when he volun-
tarlly presented himself next morning be-
fore the authorities, for the purpose, as he
SAID, OF making important revelations,
which might have the effect of averting
destruction from the innocent. In the
public coach he had already heard some
particulars of the case, and formed his
own conjectureS but since his return,
these conjectures had with him grown in
10 convictions, and he had not closed an
eye from the apprehension that his disclo-
sures might come too late. Had he re.
turned sooner, matters would never have
reached this length. F..
AT the time when the robbery must
nave taken place, he had been in the town.
The carpenter, Isaac Van c., called
upon him one day, begging the loan of
Inc boat, which he was in the custom Of
using for the transport of bales and heavy
packages to different quarters of the town.
Lhe boat generally lay behind the mer-
chants house, close to the ware, house.
winch was situated on the bank of the
toWn iosse already alluded to. Isaac
assured him be would require the boat
only Tor night or two, and would take
care that it was returned in the morning
N good condition. To the question why
ne wanted the boat at night, he, after
SOme hesitation, returned for answer, that
ne mad engaged to transport the furniture
Of some people who were removing, and
VINO had their own reasons for not doing
30 IN daylight, implying that they were
aklng French leave Of their creditors,
ana you propose to lend yourself to such
Transaction" said the merchant, per-
1Tn1lPtorily refusing the loan of the boat.
4 ine carpenter interrupted him : assured
ala ne had only jested that his real OBJ
!ecI was only to amuse himself in fishing
WIN some of his comrades ), and that he
uAa only not stated that at first, as the
merchant might be apprehensiye that the
operation would dirty his boat. The
merchant at last yielded to the continued
iieqgests of the carpenter, and agreed to
,ena hlm the boat, but upon the express
sTnaitlon that it should be returned to its
pace An the morning. In this respect the
SSrpenter kept his word when the mer-
caant went to his warehouse in the NOR
ang, ne saw the carpenter and his ap-
ETentlee engaged in fastening the boat.

The electioneering letter Of Senator
Douglas to the Democracy, Of CoDnecti-
cut shows that he is in full utilization with
the party again. and that his friends will
be found in the ranks all right at the next
session of Congress. 'sSquatter-sOver-
eighty" is no bar to the re-admission Of
Douglas to, full Democratic communion.
His condition is like that of a certain
man accused Of stealing sheep. The day
was set when he was to answer the charge
before court Of justice but. as It hap
pened, before tbs day came he sickened
and died. His old mother was over
wheImed with grief and sat long BY the
corpse, filing the house with sailing and
lamentation. AT last thought seemed
to strike her; she frightened up, and,
throwing up her hands, she pionsly eiac-
ulated l"Well, thank God, he's out Of

And set the stars OF glory there;
She mingled with It's gorgeous dyes

And striped its pure, celestial white Boz a
With streakings Of the morning light;
Then. from his mansisn in the sun,
She called her eagle bearer dOwn,
And gave into his mighty hand 7ss5
The symbol Of Der chosen land
Majestic monarch OF the cloud!

And see the lightning lances driven,
When stride the warriors Of the storm,
And roll, the tlBunder-drum OF Heaven,
Child Of the sun! 10 thee his given,
To guard the banner of the free;
To hover in the sulphur smoke;
To ward away the battle stroke;
And bid its blendings shine afsT,

When speaks the signal trumPet-tone,
And the long line comes cleaning on,

Each soldiers eye shall brightly turn
To where thy meteor-glories burn;
And as his sprinsing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the glance!
And when the cannon mouthinss loud,
leave in wild wreaihs the battles shroud,
And CORY sabres rise and fan,
Like shoots Of fame on midhight's pail!
Thsre shall thy vieiOr-glances glow,
And covering foes shall sink beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger of death.

When Death, careerins on the gale,
Sweeps darby round the belIied sail,
And frghied waves rush wildly back,
Before the broadside's reeliRg rack, hes.

Shall look. at once, to Heaven and thee,
And smile, to see thy splendors fly
In triumph, DER his closing eye.

a requisition has been sent by the Co
vernon of Massachusetts to the Governor
of Mississippi, for a man At Holly
Springs, who had obtained goods under
false pretences. On the arrival of the
agent with the writ at Holly Springs, the
people Of that place got together public
meeting, and resolved that, as Massachu-
sets Tepudiated the rendition of fugitive
slaves, she has no right to a requisition
of any sort on Mississippi. The agent
therefore was notified to leave, or he
would be "trotted through" He left,
of course, much wiser, at least, by this ::
that he now knows that Mississippi

instances have lately occurred, In differ

have died from the effects OF poison taken
into the system BY swallowing the new

easily swallowed, there is great danger
in allowing young children to have them
in their possession. The metal which
eomposes it has fatal effect, and would
seem to be poisonous. Parents should be-

EXPENSES OF LARGE CITIES. = The
steady increase in the expenses of large
cities, is looked to with forebodings of
evil in many parts Of the country, as all
checks upon taxation seem to be but tenn
porary, and the general tendency is to in
crease the amount of expenditure and
the rate of taxation either directly or in
directly by marking up valuations. The
tax levy of New York for 1859, has Just
been submitted to the Common Council,
and the sum total reaches the astounding
aggregate of nearly eight millions of dol
lars. OF this amount. in round numbers.
a million is devoted to the police, a mil
lion for water, eight hundred thousand
for the poor, million and a quarter for
schools, a million and q half for streets,
half million for lighting the streets, and
six hundred thousand for salaries. The
expenditures of the State of New York
are much less than those of the city, be-
ing about five millions. --
