Mr.. Van Ripper said that he had no
idea they would be sold for 70 per
cent, nor 80 nor 871. He believed
that they would be better than wharf

Mr.. Carpenter asked if the Water

Mr.. Van Ripper did not want the

highly encouraged by capitalists
abroad, but if the Committee were

in the boys bosom. All night he lay
with his little hand clasped on it, as if tC
ensure its perfect safety.
The next day was but repetition OF
the last, with the cobbler and his boy.
Jenny was early at work at his mend
ing while Sandy stole forth on some
pretext, to deliver the valuable pocket
book to its owner, and relieve his mind
of the anxiety that weighed upon it.
Charley Dunning, one of Albert Fox $
friends, was with him, when the lad
called He would not admit the latter
to the presence of the injured man, yet
he listened to his statement, and himself
identified the pocket-book as Fox's prop
erty, having seen it very often before in
his friends possession.
Charley was as generous soul as ever
lived. This remarkable example of hon
esty in the face of sore temptation,
struck deep into his heart, and made its
impression there. He gave the lad a
five pound note, and after refreshing
him with little wine that stood at hand,
sent him away, with promise to return
in few days, when Mr.. Fox should have
recovered somewhat from his severe in
jury
This was indeed a happy day for
Jenny, the cobbler, and his poor, neg
lected boy. 1t was at last, the turning
point in their lives, and marked the be-
ginning of better fortune. This story is
no pleasant fiction; and the happy
reality of this unexpected prosperity was
the well-merited reward of strict honesty.

SOmnambuIisIn.

The Archbishop of Bordeaux thus des-
cribes case ofsomnambulism in young
priest: He was in the habit of writing
sermons when asleep, and although a
card was placed between his eyes and
the notebook, he continued to write Wig
orously. After he had written page
requiring correction, a piece of blank
paper of the exact size was substituted
for his own manuscript, and on that he
made the correction in the precise stu
alton they would have occupied on the
original page. A very astonishing part
of this is that which relates to his writing
music in his sleeping state, which it is
said he did with perfect precision. He
asked for certain things, but only such
things as bore directly upon the subject
of his thoughts. He detected the deceit
when water was given to him in the place
of brandy which he asked for Finally
he knew nothing at all that had trans
pired when he awoke, but in his next
paroxysm he remembered all accurately
and so lived sort of double life, a
which is said to be uniyer-
sal in all the cases of exalted sOmnam-
bulism.

Inez nOmere-A Girl who is Deci.
dedly not of the Period.
Washington Cor. st.


During the residence of the Mexican
Minister, Romero, in this city, his hand
some establishment was presided over by
his sister Inez, a young lady of about
eighteen summers, and possessed of more
than ordinary beauty and intelligence.
The signora had, in addition to her per
sonal attraction, the reputation of being
an heiress of great wealth. Had she
been born in an humble station, her eX-
traordinary musical talent would have
proved no inconsiderable fortune. Pos
sessing SO many attractive qualities, it
was not surprising that the fair Inez was
continually surrounded by crowd of
diplomatic attaches and secretaries, who
made love to her in every modern lam
guage, and courted after the mode of all
the nations of Europe and America.
She was proof however, against all the
artillery of sighs, so ngs and serenades," "
and Notwithstanding the long siege
which she withstood against brigade Of
mustached and perfumed exquisites,
kept heart free and untrammeled. A
devout Catholic, she was daily at
tendant at the morning religious service
of her church, and was noted for her
ceaseless and unwearied, though AMOS
tentatious, efforts to relieve the poor and
distressed. Letters of recent date from
Mexico say that Miss Romero is disposing
of her fortune and means with the inten
ton of retiring from the world, and en-
tering the Convent of the Visitation in
this city. From a young lady who was
a schoolmate of Miss Romero, de-
rive the information that since child
hood it has been Miss Romero's in
tention to devote herself to the edu-
cation and instruct ion of young girls,
believing that to 0e the highest and
noblest duty to which a woman could
devote her time and talents Much of
the vice and immortality of the present
age is, according to the fair Mexican,
attributable to the want of proper moral
and religious training in those who are
destined to become the mothers and the |
guides of the men and women who make |
up society. The young lady who has had
the courage to make this great sacrifice |
in the interests of her sex is expected |
here during the coming week, and will at |
once put her design in execution by as
suming the habit and duties of a novice |
in the Visitation Convent. All the en-
bryo diplomats and shoulder-strapped /
exquisites about Washington are, like |
Mantilina, in demnitiOn rage, and
swear terribly. The fair Mexican's dol
lars are destined to serve other purposes
than to supply some diplomatic noodle
with cigars'a and fne clothes, and hence
lilac lachrymae.

"Going away" think you said?
With never q word for me;
Going away and / turned my head
In vain. for the sun in the West is dead
All dead on the darkling sea.
Why did he leave like this? God knows;
Weary, think, of his love-.
He left me kiss and a dew -plucked rose
And for fancy's sake-I suppose
Gave him my violet glove.
The ships sail over the sea, know,
Too far for a maiden's sight
The ships sail on, the strong winds blow,
And some to the lands of the Orient go,
And-some TO the starless night.
/ look, and over the waves afar,
The white sails flicker and CLEAN,
And the ship rides gayly over the BARI
But the night is black, with never a star,
And my heart is sad withits dream!
Only the din Of the seas far strand,
Only the dark see;
For he left me here, by the trodden sand,
With only rose in my little hand,
And never a word for me.
