A Romantic Love Story.

The Count de st. Croix, belonging
to one of the noblest and wealthiest
families in France, became engaged,
after a long and arduous courtship, to
a lady, his equal in position and for
tune, and famous for her beauty
Shortly after the happy day was ap-
pointed which was to make two low
ing hearts one, the Count was ordered
Immediately to the siege of Sebasto-
pol, so he girded on his sabre, and at
the head of his regiment marched to
the battle field. During the Counts
absence, it happened that his beautiful
lady had the small pOx; after hover
ing between life and death for many
days she recovered her health, but
found her beauty hopelessly lost.
The disease had assumed in her
case the most virulent character, and
left her not only disfigured, but seain-
ed and SCARED to such a frightful ex-
tent that she became hideous to her.
self, and resolved to pass the remain
der of her days in the strictest seclu-
sion. A year passed away, when,
one day, the Count, Immediately upon
his return from Sebastopol, accompa-
MED by his valet, presented himself
at the residence of his betrothed, and
solicited an interview. This was re-
fused. He, however, with the per-
sistence of a lover, pressed his suit,
and finally the lady made her ap-
pearance closely muf1ed in double
veil. At the sound of her voice, the
Count rushed forward to embrace
her, but stepping aside she trem-
biingly told him the story of her sor-
sows, and burst into tears.
A heavenly smile broke over the
Counts handsome features, as raising
his hands above, he exclaimed, at is

even so. When gallantly leading his
regiment to the attack, d cannon ball
passed so closely to his eyes that,
while it left his expressions unchang-
ed, and his countenance unmarked, it
robbed him forever of sight. 1t is al
most unnecessary to add that their
marriage was shortly alter solemn
ized., 1t is said that at this day may
often be seen at the Emporor's recep-
tion an officer leaning upon the arm
of lady closely yelled, and they seem
to be attracted to the spot by the love
of music.

TRUTH.-Truth is like Gods bap-
tism upon the hills. First, it is like
the dew drop, silently descending
through cloud of mist and vapor to
kiss the petals of some dropping flow
er. Then it as a little pool gathering
in some tiny basin in fraternal en-
brace of atoms. Then it is rill, that
goes cutting its channel way through
the green moss and down the sloping
hillside, fastening to the meeting OF
waters below. Then it is stream,
hurrying over precipices and down
cascades rocks, turning the great
wheel of manufacture, grinding the
grain and working the spindles and
shuttles of man. Then it is the river
slowly rolling onward through its
mighty channel, upon VI C b great
lazy barges rock, and the paddles o.
the steamboat beat. And then
then it is the broad sweep of the At
lantic, upon which is borne, from land
to land, the products of the industry
of an entire world. And that's the
way truth comes, and that's the way
truth acts.

Webster's most important Thought.

A correspondent of the Rochester
American, adds the following to the
host of anecdotes of the great states
man, which his decease called forth:
When Mr.. Webster was Secretary
OF State some years ago, under anoth-
er administration than that of Mr.. Fill
more, he worte to one of the proprie-
tors of the Astor House, in New York,
saying that he would reach that house
on such day, and begged that scme
of his friends should be invited to
dine with him the same evening.
There were about twenty at the
table, and Mr.. Webster seemed wea-
ried by his travel, and speaking but
little, if at all, plunged into a dark
some sort of revery, not well calculat-
ed to enliven his friends. This at
length became so apparent, and the
situation of all so unpleasant, that one
of the company urged upon a very
distinguished man present, a warm
friend of Mr.. Webster, to get into
conversation. He only needed to be
logged, to become as lively as they
wished.
The friend consented, and spoke
aloud to Mr.. Webster asking him some
questions that in ordinary men would
have led to conversation, but it failed
in the present instance. The dark
Secretary of State merely raised his
head and answered, and crept back
into his cave again. Again the gen.
tleman frightened at his failure, was
urged to renew the attempt to draw
him out. He summoned courage and
said, "Mr. WebsterF' (Ar. Webster
looked out of his cave)" Hr. Webster,
| want you to sell me what was the
most important thought that ever oc-
cupied your mind"
Here was thumper for him, and
so everybody thought at the table.
Mr.. Webster slowly passed his hand
over his forehead, and in low tone
said to a friend near him, as there
any one here who does not know
me ?"
"No, sir, they all know you-are
all your friends"
Then he looked over the table,
and you may imagine how the tones
of his voice would be on such an oc-
casion, giving answer to such ques-
| tion.
"The most important thought that
ever occupied my mind" said he,
"was that of my Individual response
bility to God p upon which for twen-
ty minutes he spoke to them, and
when he had finished, he got up from
the table and retired to his room, and
they without a word, entered into an
adjacent room, and when they had
gathered there some of them exclaim-
ed, "Wh0 ever heard any thing like
that before ?"
What Mr.. Webster said in advoca-
cy of this most important thought, |
do not knOw-no one has ever re-
peated it, and [ presume no one
can.

of the cars of a "fast train" in Eng

ThunderboIt and Lightfoot.
BY EMERSON BENNETT.

John Doherty, alias Captain Thun-
derbOlt, was born in Scotland, some
where about the year l780. In his
youth he was sent to school, and re-
c9ived a very good education. He
had a clear, active intellect, was
quick to perceive and learn, and, with
a proper moral balance and fair oppor-
tunity, would undoubtedly have made
a man of respectable distinction
But he was by nature a rogue-a ras-
cal at heart, if not villain. He had
some redeeming qualities, but not
enough to keep him in the path OF
rectitude. He was worldly, passion
ate and licentious, and could not see
the advantage of being honest for hon
estys sake. if dishonesty would better
serve his immediate purpose. be was
selfish in his own pleasures, and would
stop at nothing to gain his ends and
crafty his dominant whim. He was
naturally a great leveler, and looked
upon the stringent laws of society as
made for the benefit Of the rich rather
than the poor, and thought it the prop
er course of every man of spirit to sci
them at defiance. He had his owl
ideas of honor, was averSe to cruelty
and bloodshed, and possessed certain
chivalric notions of propriety.-
Through his long career of vice anc
crime, it was his boast that he haC
never Intentionally robbed poo
man or female. He was bold ant
fearless, and would risk everything t.
carry out some romantic idea, or oh
tain what he was wont to term poeti;
justice.
A case in point. A certain judg
once boasted that he would yet hav
the pleasure of giving Captain Thur
derbolt his death-sentence. A fey
nights after, very staid old Quake
called on him, at his private residence
and requested to see him alone a fe'
minutes on some important business
On being ushered into the presence {
the judge, in his library, the strange

ing pistol, declared that he himse
was the veritable Thuhderbolt, an
f that he had come to lay his lordshi
under contribution for making SO foe
Iish a boast. In short, he demande
his lordship's watch, purse and jewe

Editors like other shrewd men,
must live with their eyes and ears
open. The following is told of one
who started paper in western
town. The town was infested by
gamblers, whose pres sence was a
source of annoyance to the citizens,
who told the editor that if he did not
come out against them they would
not patronize his paper. He replied
that he would give them "smasher"
next day. Sure enough, his next is
sue contained the promised smash

the redoubtable editor, with scissors
in hand, was seated in his sanctum,
when in walked large man, with a
horsewhip in hand, who demanded to
know if the editor was in. "No sir, y
was the reply, she has stepped out.
Take seat and read the papers-he
will return in a minute" Down sat
the indignant man of cards, crossed
his legs with his whip between them
and commenced reading the paper
In the meantime the editor quietly
slid down stairs, and at the landing
he met another man with cudgel in
his hand, who asked if the editor was
in. "Yes sir" was the quick re-
sponse; "you will find him up stairs
reading a newspaper" The latter
on entering the room with a furious
oath, commenced viotent assault up
on the former, which was resisted
with equal ferocity. The fight wa
continued till they both rolled to thu
foot of the stairs, and had pounded
each other to their hearts content
