BAD REPORTS OF THE PRINCE OF WALEs.-The
Prince Of Wales is going in bad company. f. the
following story, told by London letter writer is
true: .r ". --
"a matter which greatly disturbs the good and
loyal subjects Of England is the intimacy between
the Duke of St. Adams and the Prince Of Wales.
The Duke of St Albans is young man about the
age of the Prince and he has succeeded in the
course of his short but evenful life. in getting up
one of the most notorious regulations in Europe.
His character is so bad that, with very high rank
and great wealth. he is not tolerated in the respec
table aristocratic society of London BE began his
career by getting into all sorts Of scrapes at Oxford
in which city he used to appear with greater regu
arity in the police court than at the college chapel,
and from which University he was finally expelled
in disgrace Since then he has been the hero of
innumerabe adventures on the Continent, scanda-
lous and otherwise is well known in every gam
bling house and brothel and police court Of Paris,
and is as accomplished a william, for young man,
as you can find in many day. 81"
"At Oxford one day, while yet he was in his
teens, three different young women appeared In
Court against him, with charges of seduction
Since then he has matured in every species Of dis
sipation, and is as well known to the London po-
lice as any long-fngered Jack from Bilingsgate.
And this is the most intimate friend, companion
and conGdant of the heir to the British throne
They are constantly seen together 60 arm
in-am together alone o'nights, land where they go
to is hardly mystery.) St. Albans stays by the
week at Marlboro House, and the Prince of Wales
as regularly reciprocates by visiting the Duke at
his house - and they are, in every way hand in
glove Not only this; the Duke of St Adams is
the intimate friend Of the Princess, as well as the
Prince of Wales, and is often seen riding with her
alone in the parks. It is, naturally, matter of
uneasiness to the English that so graceless rep
rebate should be so familiar with theirfuture Queen,
who is quite too gddy now to suit theirstaid tastes
and who is vastly imprudentn her association with
this noble Duke Thus we see the Prince of Wales
and his fair wife going in the same path that George
the Fourth trod, and We may look forward to q not
very promising reign, when another tory and dis
solute king ascends the British throne"

A CURIOUS SCENE.

The New York correspondent of the Charleston
Nees relates singular occurrence which took place
few days since at Greenwood Cemetery. Ayoung
widower, whose first wife has been dead but three
months, took unto himself asecond spouse, and on
the day after the knot was tied took wife number
two to Greenwood Cemetery, to visit the grave OF
wife number one. Standing over the grave, the
griefstricken man indulged himself in burst of
and rspsskad I hin h1sE .Ast 5soss.1
the grass-covered sod. The live wife took excep-
ton to the spirit of the remark as well as at the
remark itself about the spirit; She denied the
cred herself far superior, in all respects, to
woman. The ex-widower assured her that she fat
tered herself and that she could not begin to com
pare with the defanct lady either in physical men
tai or moral excellence; whereupon quarrel arose
the live wife beat her bosom's lord about the
head with an umbrella; the man showed fight and
there was a veritable contest at the grave. The
twain have separated the Lady has gone home to
her parents, and the ex-widower is, practically
speaking, Widower again. II

The MAN WITHOUT AN ENEMY-Heaven help
trying to please everybody IF such an individual
ever succeeded we should be glad of it-not that we
believe in mans going through the world trying
to find beams to knock his head against; dsputing
every mans opinion, fighting and elbowing and
crowding all who differ with him. That, again, is
another extreme Other people have right to
their opinion, so have you don't fall into the error
of supposing they will respect you less for main
tanning it, or respect you more for turning your
coat every day to match the color Of theirs. Wear
your own colors spite of winds and weather, storms
or sunshine It costs the vacilatng and irresolute
ten times the trouble to wind and shuttle and twlst
that it does honest, manly independence TO stand

CHAPTER vi.
AN IsHAlAELITE'S CABIN.

Major Amory deliberated what course he had
best pursue in this new phase of affairs. This
rebel lover of Elinors was likely to interfere with
his plans in serious manner. He must, II posi-
BILE, gain possession of his person, and, in doing
this the information he had obtained from the
letter found in the arbor would be Of essential SER
vice. All he would have to do, would be to station
sufficient force near the place of meeting to over
power Captain Peterson, who, he rightly conjec
rured, would be alone, and the deed would be done
Of course, his first thought in resolving upon this
course was private one. No man feels very kind
y towards his rival especially if that rival be more
favored than himself Major Amory, therefore
felt degree of satisfaction in the anticipated tri
umph over his rival, quite apart from any conside
rations of policy. Morever if Captain Peterson
were out of the way he would stand better chance
of success in his suit.
Another consideration also suggested itself, last
in order indeed, yet not without degree weight
1t was this. BY the capture of an American Off
cer he would entite himself t. credit for zeal ir
the service, and might thereby be entitled to pro
motion. Any one Of these reasons would have de-
termined Major Amory to make the attempt, much
more, the three combined.
A question of some difficulty still remained. L
was, where he should procure agents to effect the
arrest. 1t would hardly be practicable to send tt
New York for soldiers, since he would be obliged
to despatch special messenger who might per
haps be difficult to procure, at least one that hi
could confde in, and if procured, might be detain
ed, or in many ways allow him to miss his prey
Or again, the commander in-chief might not con
slider it worth while to despatch file Of soldiers
on an uncertainty, without definite information
which, considering the way in which he obtained
it, he might have found it embarrassing to give.
There were 50 many difficulties, indeed, hedging
the course upon which he had decided, that i
seemed doubtful whether, after all, he could mak
use of the intelligence he had obtained
At length he CHANGED to remember family b.
the name of Gregson, who lived in the neighbor
hood. and who had already been employed for SOM
triAing services by the British army. There wer
two brothers; by name, Richard and Robert, VIII
