"Truth, however, always comes out.
Some who were on the watch were
surprised that nothing arrived from
Martinique well advised people
shook their heads when speaking OF
me. The edifce so quickly raised
tumbled down with equal rapidity."
"The best of it," said some, che
has ended by falling into the snare he
set for others. For my part l never
believed it."
/ comprehended that the storm had
broken out on finding one day a doz-
en- notes on my table. They were
nearly the style of the first one 1
opened.
''M. Grigon presents his respectful
compliments to M. Meran, and hay
ing an urgent need Of money, begs
that he will be SO good as to pay, in
the course Of the day, the little ac-
count which he has the honor to en-
close"
Ny answers were all alike:
IN. Meran thanks M. Grigon for
the bill which has so long been asked
for, and sends the amount"
One letter only contained no re-
quest for money it was from friend
L had almost forgotten. Fearing that
l had been duped he wrote to lend
me five hundred francs, should l wish
to remove from place where so many
rumors were circulating prejudical
to my character. My reply gave the
necessary explanation, which l con-
cluded:
~ am rich, not by an inheritance,
which l never believed, but because
it was determined, in spite of my pro-
testations, that / should be rich and
l have, in reality been made very rich,
l scarcely know how. This is what /
would wish you to say to those who
talk of me-"
i owe more than fortune to my sin
gular situation, since it has assured
me of friend on whom l may count
in adversely, should it ever visit me.
For another week / was the subject
of conversation. "IIe has been fortu-
nate, if you will; but 1 say he is a
clever fellow who has known how to
take advantage of circumstances it
is not everybody who could maneuver
in this way"
For my part was for moment
tempted to applaud my own genius
yet little reflection convinced me
that talent had nothing to do with it.
l quietly took my place in society as
the possessor of twenty thousand
francs of income, and still keep it.
Moralizing on my sudden change
Of position, can only look upon it as
one Of those strange freaks of fortune
which all the world allows to be unac-
countable.

THE WHOLE ARGUMENT II NUT
Subtitle following, from n late
letter of the Hon. Charles r.. Bucka-
lew, well epitomizcs the arguments ef
the abolitionists
'Join us, (this is the cry,) be with
us, think as we think, do as we do,
forget that you foretold these terrible
evils as results of our policy, and we
secuted the warning; forget that we
had platforms which we have brOken;
forget that you were frceinen before.
we mounted your backs, and fuled
you by decrees, and put.you in prison
by telegraph, and sent you tax-gath--
erers 10 take your earnings, and Pro-
vost Marshals TO seize your SONS for
the war; Forget all this, and hold up
your hands and bid us Col speed
or you are seccssionists, traitors, cop
porheads--worse than the enemy in
arms, and saved of grace, notify mer-
it, from condign and pitiless punish,
ment.

SPIDER CAPTURING SSAKE.-The
OrleaNs, (New York, Republican re-
lates that one day last week ex-CQmp-
troller Lorenzo Burrows discov 1rcd, IN
a building belonging to him, small
snake suspended by the neck uu-
der shelf. On exa nination the sus-.
pension proved to be accomplished by
nothing stronger than the thread of
SPIDERS web
The main web or most Of the spider
was just under the shelf, perhaps two
and half feet from the floor. From
this suspended cable formed of q
number of strands, and from this hung
the snake. The upper part of the
snakes body seemed to be wound
around with the tiny Ilread, which
was SO tightly drawn around his head
and throat as to prevent the reptile
opening his mouth. Having thus Sc
cured him, the spider seemed intent on
drawing his prey up to the nest, and
when discovered had so far succeeded
as to have half the length of the snake
from the floor.
The snake manifested dislike to,
the treatment by the occasional vio-
lent struggles, in which he would
spring from the floor and exeIt his ut
most powers to break his filmy bands.
The struggles were very complacently
and unconcernedly watched by the
spider from the nest above. The
snake was about foot in length, and
the spider was by no means large
specimen of his Species The appar-
emily unequal struggle was witnessed
by over one hundred persons during
the day, attracted by the report of the
singular contest. But that the cable
was acci lently lrol;en By a person
who entered the room, the spider
would have undoubtedly drawn the
snake to his don. This singular case
presents double room for wouder-
first at the strategy" of the spider in
getting his coils about the snake, and
second, at thu wonderful strength
evinced in drawing up reptile at least
one hundred times his weight.

WHAT REBEL JoURyAL SAYs.--The
Memphis Jackson Atlanta -dppeal, one
Of the most influential, as it is one Of
the most bitter, rebel journals in the
South says:
''The accession Of a conservative
democrat like Mcclellan to the Presi-
dency, who would conduct tho war
upon more humane principles,
repeal tho emancipation proclamation,
and probably, make ovortures to the
South to return to the Union, with u
guarantee of all constitutional rights,
would do infinitely moro TO paralyzc
tho South and build up a rccoustruc-
ton party in our midst--a most fatal
calamity-than tho combined efforts

The Spirit of Peace.

Edward Ill, King of England,
once was startled on his throne, and
had his relentless grasp weakened by
the published words of a young French
girl, a saint, an ideal and sublime en-
thusiast, who cried forth, 81 can never
see the blood of Frenchmen flow with
QUE weeping" In hundreds of thou
sands of homes in the United States
there is to-day, sweet, pure and
sanity prayer going forth that this
wicked shedding of American blood
may cease. Indeed from every pure
heart in the land these words are felt
if not uttered: 81 can never sec the
blood of an American flow without
weeping" Give this feeling time and
it will save our country. Already it
has commenced to undermine the cruel
arsenal of war. If the Presidents
nature were a coat of mail against all
human and virtuous impressions, he
would, even now, feel this vague pull
sation, this budding patriotism, this
deep and passionate hatred OF the
war, which will surely at last over
throw his party, and drive him and oil
his war supporters out Of land they
have soaked with the blood of their
countrymen. Let these holy words be
placed as motto at the head Of news
papers-let them be ipainted upon
banners let them be-sung in song
let them be spoken in parlors, and re-
peated everywhere at the corners OF
the streets-I can never see the blood
of an American flow without weep
ing," see an abolitionist without say
ing there goes the cause of my coun,
try's rllinl" Speak these words aloud
all ye true men and true women =
They shall be heard as the beating OF
your country's heart.-OM Guard.

THE UNION. Union which
Webster defended, he thus describes /:
''The Union for the preservation of
which / strive the Union of States
for which / strive; is not merely q
Union Of law-of Constitution-of
compact--but while it is that, it is a
Union of brotherly regard, fraternal
feelings throughout the whole country.
l do not wish that any portion of this
country shall be held together only by
the bonds of a legal corporation,
bonds which some Of them may think
retain their limbs, cramp the + affcc-
tions--gall and wound them. / wish,
on the contrary, that they shall be
bound together 10y those unseen, soft,
easy sitting chains that result from
generous affections, and from a sense
Of common interest and common
pride. In short, fellow-citizens, my
desire is, and my labor to SEQ that
state of things produced, in which, fill
ing all bosoms with gratitude, al with
Joy, illuminating all faces, spreading
through all ranks of people, whether
rich or poor.

Tho Springfield, (sIass.) RcYnil'cn
of August IL contains the following
in reference TO the pirate Tallahassee,
which has just left Halifax on anoth-
or raid on our commerce:
Captain, Read. of the Brig Billow,
of Salem, one Of the vessels lately
captured by tho Tallahassee, gives the
following in regard to the interview
with the rebel captain, and the APP
pearance of the Tallahassee.
III was two hours and a half On
board the Tallahassee. She had one
pivot gun aud three forward guIs,
with one brass rifle Of large calibre on
the hurricane deck. She had also
several small spare lguns. The cap
tain, John Tyler Wood, was quite free
to talk to me. He said he could
steam sixteen knots an hour, and that
he had crossed the British Channel
twenty-one miles--in seventy-two min
utes. He would not fight he said, un-
less compelled to do so. He preferred
to run, as his vessel was fast. He also
averred that within one week he had
destroyed over fifty vessels. Within
thirty hours Of my capture he said he
had destroyed over sixty sail, viz:
three ships, two barks, and the rest
schooners and hermaphrodite briggs
One was the ship Adriatic, of New
York, captured the same day ho took
me. He added that he would slacken
up the coasting trade SO that Uncle
Abe would bo glad to make peace
He asked me about the Nantucket
light boat, and afterwards said, rocur-
ring to his designs, that there were
more afoat than the Florida and Tai
lahassee, meaning Of course, Confed-
crate ships of a similar character to
his own, and that Uncle Sam had bet
ter look out. Capt. Wood appeared
to be very aGable man, and said he
was doing what it was not pleasant
for him to do. The Tallahassee is ali
iron steamer of English build, schoon--
er rugged, and has no yards or top
mast, and lost her mainmast in COLI
sion with the Adriatic. She is very
long and narrow, burns soft coal, and
had about hundred men on board,
who were subject 10 the discipline
Of a man-of war. Ue allows no swear
ing on board. All of the officers are
Southerners. She had three or four
negroes on board, who did not appear
very jolly.
