A DOG STORY. The Arkon Beacon
tells the following dog tall" In the
pleasant town of F., in New England
lived a family, who being of differ
ent religions persuasion, usually at
tended the sole village meeting
house." indeed, but with no very strict
punetuality They had pet dog who
much more regularly needed ''the
sound of the church going bell" and
with or without the family every Sun
day seated himself in the family pew.
Among the preachers whose relations
to the pastor were snch as to entitle
him to an occasional exchange ofpul-
pits, was the Rev Mr.. c., an ex-
ceedingly heavy, prosy, duh preacher
On one occasion the family referred to
remained at home in the morning but
in the afternoon went to church, the
dog, to their surprise, not only show
ing any inclination to go, but persist
emily refusing to follow On arriv-
ing at church the lady discovered the
reason why the dog staid at home.
The Rev. Mr. G. preached; and one
sermon from him was as much as the
dog could endure in one day

aware that the tune dance to is some

I" See here" said Rovineau, draw
ing handful of gold pieces from his
pocket in the light summer garment
he wore. " / can trust you; do not
speak for myself alone, I am but one !;
but when say, we do not ask any
service, which we are not ready to re-
ward with the shining metal, you may
depend upon my word, and this shall
be the guaranty" and he pressed the
money into Brantly's hand. Then,
motioning him to be again seated, he
drew his own seat close beside him,
and commenced e communication quite
too long to be introduced here Snf-
flee it to say, Bill left the stranger at
last, the sworn agent and tool of a
band Of counterfeiters, of whom Row
neau was also an important accessory.
Promising to see him again at an early
day, with instructions as to his future
course, Rovineau shook the young
mans hand, as he leaped to the shore
in the faint mornign twilight, and stri
king abruptly into the forest, was soon
invisible in the darkness.

Daniel Webster on Peaceable
Secession"
THRILLING SPEECH.


In his last great speech in the SEN
ate, on the 7th of March, 1850, Dam
iel Webster thus spoke of secession:
Mr.. President IL should much
prefer to have heard from every mem
Der of this floor, declarations of opin-
ion that this Union could never be
dissolved, than the declaration of opin-
ion by anybody, that in any case, un-
der the pressure of any circumstances,
such o dissolution was possible. /
hear with distress and anguish the
word Secession" especially when it
comes from the lips of those who are
patriotic, and known to the country
and known all over the world, for their
political services. Secession Peace
able Secession Sir, your eyes and
mine are never destined to see that
miracle. The ACKNOWLEDGMENT of this
vast country without convulsion !
The breaking up of the fountains of
the Great Deep without rufling Of the
surface ! Who is SO foolish Il beg
everybody's pardon,) as to expect to
see any such thing Sir, be who sees
these States, now revolving lie harmo-
ny around common center, and ex-
poets to see them quit their places

Some spirit must have whispered
these words, for Mark started as tho
stung by serpent, SO forcibly were
the suggestions made. He could al
most have sworn that some one had
whispered the words in his ear, but
there was no one in the cabin save
himself and the girl, whose radiant
young face was appraised to his, with
an unmistakable expression of love and
perfect, guileless loving con fdenee,
hallowing every beautiful feature. A
new train of thought was awakened
in the mans mind, and sending Lau-
rette a way with the pretext that he
needed to rest little while, he locked
himself into the apartment to give him
self up to thoughts and retrospections
that should. leave him at last more
hardened and misanthropical than be-
fore, But however fierce the rekin-
died fires of hatred and bitter malice,
and revenge might rage, they could
not consume that one stronger, pas
sionate feeling of ardent, intense af
lection for the little girl.

this he said at length, stamping his
foot madly, and speaking aloud, as
though excusing himself to some mp
braiding qusstioner +" How could I
tell that the birding | stole from the
nest of the vnlture should turn out

loving her any more than | can con
quer my hatred to her father? What
doesit matter any way" he added at
length, 1T was not the babe I sought
to injure, it was the man, the villain,

teeth and clenched his muscular hands
as though he would crush some invisi-
BILE adversary if he had him within his
grasp ~ have STING his cowardly
soul to the quick, if he has one spark
of pride or natural feeling, and re-
venge is sweet, aye, aye, "and he gave

Extraordinary Elopement and
Mournful Marriage.

4. Z 3
THE other day, says Cincinnati
paper, two of the most rural of the ru-
ralists, from Clark county, Kentucky,
rejoicing in the names of Mary and
Isaac, arrived with railway haste at
the Spencer House, for the purpose,
they stated to Col French, one of the
clerks of the hotel, of entering Hymen's
court forthwith. After he had given
them all the necessary information as.
to themode Of procedure, they seemed
to be overcome with the responsibility
Of their position, and fearfully impress
sed with the awful future before them,
at once burst into tears, and fell ike
crying children, into each others arms.
So grieved did they seem that they
were told if they had repented, there
was no necessity for marrying, and
they had better return home as they
came. To this they objected, and
Mary, driving her eyes for a moment,
said they had run away to get mar
ried, and marry they must, to which
Isaac assented in silence and tears.
Here, they INDUCED in a fresh fit of
weeping and hung on each Others
necks with streaming optics-apparent
victims to a fate they could not resist
Persuasion a1d reasoning were employ
ed in vain They would weep, and
they would get married, So some ore
induced Isaac and Mary-they would
not be separated-to get into car
rage and drive to the Probate Court
for license.
There they did the lachrymose again
very copiously, but their hearts were
still firm. They looked through tear
ful orbs at the dread shape Of mar
riage, and though they trembled they
did not fly. The license was procu-
red and back they went to the Spen-
Ger. A clergyman was secured, and
as soon as he had asked them to stand
mp, in order to have the ceremony per-
formed, they set up such regular
| boo-hoo as is rarely witnessed outside
of low comedy on the stage. The
parson was alarmed, the lockers on
were surprised, and the D. d. told
them very blandly if they were not pre-
pared for the serious and solemn occa
sion, it would be well to postone the
affair, at least until they were more
composed @

A STORY
OF
BELLWOOD.
BY EMILE.

At the time my story commences.
the mountain between the now -four
ishing towns of Bellwood and Hen
bricks, was covered with dense
growth of forest, which just opened
its arms to embrace the little frontier
settlement, and then closing again,
stretched far away southwark, as
dense, and dark, and lonesome as ever.
Brave must the hearts have been, that
penetrated that unbroken wilderness,
and planted settlement in its shad
ow. But rumors of valuable ores in
the bowels OF the mountain, and the
undoubted fertility of the soil, where
once the underbush was conquered,
had drawn together quite a number
of settlers, Sd that Bellwood had in its
bosom little village of half a dozen
dwelling houses, store and few
shops. In little hamlet like this.
where mutual dependence leads to
sympathy and forbearance, every mem
Der of a community, has an Importance
unfelt in larger and older towns.
No one seemed more popular in Bell
wood than Bill Brantly, the Miller;
for no surly looks ever dimmed the
sunshine of his pleasant face, and no
hardship seemed too difficult for his
brawny arm, or his stout heart. Per
haps very acute observer might have
snrmised that BrantlE's smiles had be-
meath or beyond them hidden craft
or cunning, the more remarkable for
his seeming frankness. But they were
honest farmers who patronizcd Brant-
ly's mill, and they liked his merry
laugh, his hearty, cordial shake of the
hand, and his ready, rough wit.
Brantly's mill stood on the ledge Of
rock that jutted far out into the bed
of mountain torrent. 1t was quite
hidden from view by the PERCEPTIONS
banks, till just as you reached the high
bridge thrown over. the ravine, it burst
upon the vision in all its lonely beau
ty.
1t was a rough, log structure, al
the more picturesque for that, stan
ding as it did, deep down in the shad-
ow; but when the streamlet, only
silver thread in dry weather. bnt swol-
len to rushing torrent-by a summer
shower, came shouting and leaping
from rock to rock, bounding in its
furious descent, like mad giant,
against the rude timbers of the little
nall, all its pictured beauty vanished,
and wonder, not unmixed with terror,
took the place of admiration. Then

placed in a silver dish, and each so
skillfully embalmed that it retained
disappearance of life. He started
back with horror; but at the same
moment a whistle outside was heard,
being the signal of Lecoq, and in
few seconds after the windows were
forced open, and that officer and his
men, who had assembled by ladders,

ed into the apartment, followed by
four ferocious looking bandits, but the
police were strong enough to arrest
all FIVE. The bandits were in due
time condemned to death and executed.
AS to the female she turned out to be
an English woman, who is stated in
Fouchet's account to have enticed the
young men to her house to satisfy Fer
passion, and had them murdered in
order to rob them. She was also con-
demned TO death, but escaped in a
strange way. The king spoke of the
affair to his brother, M d'Eflat, the
Chevalier de Lorrain, and some other
high personages. The Chevalier sug-
gested to the Prince that it would be
amusing to sup with so singular
criminal. Monsieur at first objected,
but at last consented. By means of a
blank lettre de cdchet, the Prince
caused the woman to be given up to
some person sent by him, on the pre-
text that she was to be. conveyed to
another prison He had her, however,
carried to house some miles across
the country, where he, the Chevalier
de Lorrain and M d'Ef1at were wait
ing to receive her. The whole four
supped together. AT length Monsieur
having seen enough of her, suggested
that she ought to be sent back to the
Bastile, but his companions pr opposed
instead that she should be conveyed
either to London or Brussels, and set
at liberty The good Datured Prince
consented, and went away. The two
mobiles passed the night in an orgie
with the woman telling her that the
next day they would convey her out
of the country bnt.instead of trust
ing to Them. she thought best to save
herself; so plying them with drink
until overcome, she locked them in,
and escaping, was seen no more The
governor of the Bastile, on learning
that the woman had been got out of
his custody by trick of the kings
brother; thought the best thing he
could do was to pretend that she was
dead, and he accordingly had a process
verbal drawn up to that effect.
