so soft and white and dimpled. You
could tell, as you looked at her, that her
thoughts were far away, and that she
was thinking of something beautiful.
Her eyes were wistfIll her lips were
softly pressed together; the dimples in
her cheeks had died out, and only the
dimple in her chin remained, that little
rosy cleft, the impress Of loves finger.

/ OF in q dark corner she saw several
stone jars, over the mouths Of each was
a rongh square board, and upon each
board . brick-bat rested.
With WOman's curiosity the widow
pulled one Of the jars to the light emitted
by a small aperture in the gable end OF
| the attic. What was her establishment
to find the jar almost full Of gold and
silver coin. 1T was before the days Of
green baeks.) Upon examining the Of
her jars they were all found to contain
specie. Here then was DICK NIARCY's
BANK; the place where the contempti-
bic miser had boarded his money.
Almost up to the moment ofhis death,
Dick believed he would recover, and
this is why he did not disclose the place
where his treasure was secreted.
Maggie called to the men below, who
assisted her in removing the jars to the
shop. When the coin was counted there
proved to be just sir thousand dollars in
gold and silver. It is natural to suppose
that with her buoysnt disposition Mag
gle enjoyed her unexpected good for
tune.
n 0 one was surprised two years after
the death Of her husband when Maggie
bestowed her hand upon q gentleman
as unlike Dick Marcy, as it was possible
for two men to be and the happiness she
enjoyed in the companiOnship Of one
50 cOngenial, repaid her for the sterile
waste Of years she had spent with the
man whose bones were resting in the
church yard, while others were reaping
the benefit Of his labor.

WHOLE NUMBER 365.

The March number Of the Eclectic
Magazine has in it an account Of Ole
Bull and his first attempts At public
performances at Milan, he gave . con-
cert and gained great applause; but a
lew days sfterward q severe NEWSPAPER
criticism attracted his attention which
contained these words. "NIr. Bull plays
Spohn, Mayseder, Paganini etc., With
out knowing the true character Of the
music he plays;psrtly spelling it by add
ing color Of his own.
He has not formed himself; in fact,
he has no style; he is an uneducated
musician"-startled him, and brought
him to reflect upon the real state Of the
case, which he confessed to be precisely
that the critic had stated. He sought
out the critic and was by him advised to
study vocal music for the better under
standing and management Of the violin.
This, Bull did, and for six months de-
voted himself closely to song. The result
Of this study was the development Of his
own peculiar powers, the attainment Of
a style especially his own. His next
public appearance decided his European
reputation" I will conclude this part Of
my subject by saying that it is not my
object to depreciate natural talent for
singing. This is Of course, a great ad-
vantage, but those who have to work
hard for improvement, often surpass
those more highly gifted by nature, and
this is SO often the case that Pm tempted
to define genius, as a compound Ofindus-
try, energy and perseverance. Ny sd-
vice to all, is to learn what we can and
all we can in vocal music, and we shall
find it a great assistance in learning to
play on any instrument, giving an ex-
pressive finish and style to all our
music.

IMPORTANT TO MAN.-Why is il that
the rainbow and clouds come over US
with q beauty that is not of earth, and
then pass away and leave us to muse on
thei rfaded lOvelinesS? Why is il that
the stars which hold their festival
around their midnight throne, are set
above the grasp of our limited faculties,
forever mOcking US with approaching
glory? And why is it that bright forms
of human beauty are presented to our
view and taken from US, leaving the
thousand streams Of affection 10 flow
back in alpine torrents upon our heart A?
We are born for q higher destiny than
that of earth. There Is a realm where
the rainbow never fades, wheFo stars
will set out before US like islands that
slumber on the ocean, and where the
beautiful being that now passes before
us like the meteor, will stay in our pres
enCe forever.

For some days after the funeral the
widow was unspeakably sad, and she
donned the sable weeds without reluct-
ance as she felt this mark of respect
was due the father Of her two children.
It became necessary for the admins
traitor of Dick Marcy's effects TO investi-
gate the state of his affairs. An inven-
tory of household furniture, etc, was
taken and the officers Of law proceeded
to the little shop Of the deceased, accom-
panied by Maggie to take a list of the
articles therein contained.
While the men were busted in over
hauling the shop and its appertensnces
Maggie fOrp rpastime, assembled to the attic
which was a little more than euddy
inhabited by rats.

MAN SHoT.-Tuesday night, at what
hour we did not learn, man named
Samuel Morrison, residing on Cald-
wells Run, three or four miles from
the city, was shot by officer Honecker,
OF South Wheeling. The facts in the
case are substantially the following:
Mr.. Morrison was arrested on Tuesday
afternoon and brought before Esqr.
Schultz, charged with the theft OF a
South Wheeling. The case was fully
heard by the Justice, and Morrison was
required to give bail in the sum of $500
for his appearance at the November
term OF the Circuit Court, or go to jail.
While on his way TO North Wheeling
in search of a friend to go on his bond,
in charge of officer Honecker and an
assistant, Morrison broke away from
them and ran down Mulberry alley,
between Quincy and Monroe streets.
He WAS ordered to halt or he would be
fired on, but giving no heed to the
order, the officer sent ball after him
from his revolver. The shot took effect
in one of the fugitive's lower limbs, but
Notwithstanding that circumstance, he
continued his flight and made good his
escape. He received shelter somewhere
and medical aid was sent for. The
wound is painful one, but Is not con-
sidered dangerous. Yesterday morning,
his attending physician went before
Esqr. Schultz and made affidavit that
Morrison is insane, and OF course fur
Their proceedings against him are ar
rested until favorable change takes
Mace in his mental condition.

TEACHERS EXAMINATIoN.-Wem made
a note several days since that the ex
animation OF applicants for teachers
certificates was in progress and would
continue a day or two. We were told
by Prof. Williams, Superintendent Of
the schools in this district, that twenty
eight persons appeared before the Com
mIttee appointed by the Board OF Edu-
cation to conduct the examination. OF
that number only two received No.
certificates; thirteen, No. 2; nine, No.
8; two, No. 4 and two were rejected.
Eleven were applicants for Grammar
school certificateF, five for Intermedi-
ate and twelve for Primary.
The course for the Grammar schools
embraces common English branches,
History, Physiology, Natural Philos-
ophy, Chemistry, Botany, Astronomy,
Algebra and Geometry; for the Inter
mediate schools, common English.
History and Physiology; and for the
Primary, common English only.
All the applicants were examined in
the Theory and Practice OF Teaching.
About fifty who had been previously
examined had their certificates renew
ed.
It was determined by the committee
that the following graduation of certif-
Gates should be observed: Where an
applicant answered correctly eighty
per cent. of the questions propounded,
No. certificate should be issued;
sixty 10 eighty, n No. .: forty to sixty,
No. 3; thirty to forty, a No. 4; twenty
to thirty, No. 5. A candidate who
answered less than twenty per cent. of
all the questions submitted, should
not be entitled TO a certificate OF any
grade. A numbe five certificate is re-
garded as about equivalent to none at
ala number four but little better.
The questions submitted to the ap-
plicAnts were of extensive range and
calculated to test thoroughly the
capabilities OF those proposing to teach.
The Committee OF Examination con-
sisted of Prof. Williams, Rev. ]. INC
Clure and DR.. George Baird. In the
organization of the Committee Rev. Mr..
Mcclure was made President, and Prof.
Williams, Secretary.
