steps had not been cautious, stealthy. But
soon they heard another noise, like the drag
ging of human body over the floor. The
four men cried in q loud voice-but such
a cry! In its spasmodic quivering it
sounded like laughter, and from the thronged
streets yell OF horror rose upon the mid
night air, such as never yet had been heard;
for the doomed corpse was dashed against
the partition, separating the two rooms
with force far above human. When it
fell it was dragged away, and again hurried
against the wall-at each repetition the
concussion producing sound more and
more dull. The curate looked every mo-
ment for the wall to be dashed down. He
had now no one to restrain him; he took his
candle and rushed into the room, exclaiming
as he did so, 4" it is my duty!'
The noise continued sometime after Mr..
Handyside entered the chamber, but at
length they ceased.
The people became alarmed for their pas
tor, and several of them went in to his as.
sstance. They found him in swoon, from
which they soon resusctated him. But
they gazed around and-what could they
expect to see There lay the body An
drew Allan bruised-beaten into quiver-
ing, gelatinous clot of gore while upon
the floor, printed in blood, were footprints
of gigantic dimensions.
Mr.. Handyside has never told what he
saw. His only answer to the opportunities
of his friends has been, Il thought it was
my duty, but was mistaken,--I committed
sin. Heaven forgive me-"

Loan OF the Confederate states.

1t seems by an advertisement of the Sc
cretary of the Treasury of the Southern
Confederacy that no portion of the loan of
SIS, 5,OO0, 900, authorized by the Montgon-
cry Congress, has yet been taken. That
officer gives notice that one-third Of the
amount will be offered to the public on the
18th of the ensuing month, to be issued in
sums ranging from $50 to $1,000. The
Secretary says that in order to enable all
portions of the people throughout the Con-
federate States "to exhibit their common
interest in raising funds for the common de-
fence, books of subscription will be opened
at the cities and principal interior towns"
and, I" to enable all persons conveniently to
subscribe, current bank notes Of the place
will be received at their market value in
coin" He also states that the debt is se-
cured by "a duty Of one-eighth of q cent
per pound, or about 81 cents per bale, on
cotton exported."-Nat. Intelligeneer.

Items OF Foreign Gossip.

Only one citizen of slave state has lately
had an audience of the French Emperor, and
he was General Stevenson of tennessee,
who was introduced as chairman of the
Pacific Railway.
Major Yelverton is said to be married to
"a woman of station and respectability."
She is the widow of the celebrated Professor
Forbes, of Edinburgh, and was left by him
fortune of fifty thousand pounds. Yeiver.
ton'is thirty.seven years old, and the grand
son of the famous Irish lawyer Barry Yel-
verton, the first Lord Avonmore.
Caen, in Normandy, is celebrated for its
horse shows. 1t takes down Springfield
altogether. Think of crowds of visitors and
purchasers making their appearance ten
days before the regular Fair day, of stables
sold out three or four times in advance, and
of five thousand horses being disposed of
without difficulty during the exhibition!
The Clydesdale horses are famous for
their strength, frequently drawing four tons
and half at one load. -
The London Omnibus Company calculate
that the "knock downs" Of theft drivers are
at least $l5O,OOO per aunum. The amount
abstracted in New York is quite moderate
in comparison.
An English traveller writing home from
Russia says of it, that its "civilization is
small, bribery and corruption are deemed
only finesse, religion is a superstition, and
morality myth"
The Journal des Debats expresses the
on;n;on that New York and RnstOn in
spite of secession, must be the emporiums
in which Europe will purchase grain, cot
ton and tobacco. The South will not fail
to see this fact in the light of the old apo
logue of the members and the stomach"
On the Sd of March instant, forty millions
of Russian serfs were liberated. The day
before, they we're all slaves.
There is a rumor from Madrid that Mar
shal O'Donnel is about to come to Cuba,
and there organize military expedition to
Mexico, to obtain satisfaction for the dis
missal of the Spanish Minister.
A bride has been invented in France,
with which runaway horses nostrils are
suddenly closed, an effectual method, it is
said, to stop the animal.
An ingenious English inventor proposes
to remedy the want of bust in ladies of +" a
given thinness," by a jacket, to be inflated
by the wearer to the proper shape, and, as
Willis would say, "plumptitude."
Handsome velvet pile carpets are now
sold in England at seventy-6ve cents per
yard four money! about half what is asked
for them in New York.

Kneeling by the stream saw
Kate, the farmers daughter,
Drinking-in her rosy palm
Dipping up the water.
She had thrown her hat aside.
Bare her arms and shoulder;
Each unconscious charm displayed
Made my love the bolder.
So 1 slowly, tenderly,
Went and knelt beside her
Drank with her from out the stream
Blushing Kitty Ryder!
And said-"the poets think
Life is like river;
Shall we not its waters drink,
Always love, together?
Many years have passed by us,
Like the flowing water,
But / drink life's stream to-day,
With the farmers daughter.
