They had castle in tho ruomy branches OF O
tree that was easy Of ascent to Edith-a sanctu-
arr whittier they could fly when anything like the
howl of wolf fell upon their ears. They had
bower where they spent hours when the sun
WAS high and hot, and . palace under rock
where they could laugh ut rain, and shelter
themselves from wind. These possessions were
extensively ornamanted with the eggs aud
feathers Of birds, fir cocoons, and flowers. The
eggs and feathers Eolf procured, whilst
Edith collected the flowers; and when
she had arranged them, they would
both sit and admire the effect. It WAS Of these
two children that the Earl offered his wife the
choice.
One moi ming early, as tho children were sleep
ing side by side in Daldcrs hut, the Earl rode up
to The door, and Balder, who knew for what he
came, bade Glib hold his boy whilst he looeened
Edith from his arms. 1t was done IN moment: !:
but Glib had an hours work after that to hold
Eolf: for the boy, finding Edith taken from him,
and himself restrained from following her,
wE1TuED AND BIT, AND STRUGGLED
like VOLTS whelp. Meanwhile Edith was set
in front Of the Earl and borne away to the castle,
neyer more to return 10 her playmate OF the
woods, Soon. soon she must hare overcome her
crief in losing them, for how much more had she
gained in their place! Her heart was too tender
aud loving to retain single affection, shutting
out all others. So that she have love, a ch1ld'a
heart does not ache. What had she 20 regret
What memory OF the past could rival the joys OF
her new lfef Frequently the TWO had hungeEed
when food Was scarce at home, ahd found their
raes IN insufficient protection from she NORTH
wind; now she had the costliest garments, aad
every desire Was gratifed. Between her and the
and tender than that she felt for Eoh. For, though
the boy would have given his LIE to please heI,
he could never have gained her whole neatf;
There is q love possessed only by good and
loving woman whose delicate softness inspires
devotion IN children as none other can.

MySTERI0US.--One day last week the Idmlly
of Isaac B. Davis, farmer near this place,
were surprised at the arrival at their door, of
stranger, in company with their son John, a
lunatic, who had been in the asylum at Tren-
ton, for four and half years. The facts in
this case, as near as we can gather them, are
these Between IL and 10 o'clock, one night
last week, the family of Mr.. Reed at Prince
ton junction, were aroused by some one at
their door, and fearing it was a robber, they
armed themselves with guns and other wea-
wanted-but receiving no reply, they opened
the door, when they saw man run toward
rhe barn. Calling to him. and still receiving
no answer, they were sure there were robbers
upon them, and one of them fired gun.
The man then stopped, and on going to him
not only a lunatic, but also unable to speak.
He was taken into the house, in an almost ex-
hausted condition.
Being unable to give any account Of HIM
self, an examination Of his clothing revealed
his name, and also the fact that he had been
seer of the poor, who lived near by, was called
in, and the matter stated to him, who deter
mined to take young Davis with him to the
asylum, and ascertain the cause Of this
mystery. It appeared that Davis and two
other patients had been discharged from the
asylum as incurable, and started for home in
charge.of some supposed trusty person; but
how young Davis got where he was found
10 miles from the asylum, in an opposite d-
rection from home--or how long he had been
wandering about, his father was unable to tell
us, bnt feels considerably indignant when he
thinks Of the narrow escape of his unfortunate
son from horrible death.
The. matter will be further investigated
Meantime we feel confident that when the
whole facts are known they win exonorate
the Asylum authorities from all blame, unless
1t should be their failure to notify the parents
by letter. Of Che dismissal of their SON.

TIA young man named John Buchanan,
well known about here by the name of
" Blinker," was committed to Jail on Monday
afternoon of last week for various thieying
operations ia which he has recently been en-
gagged. r On Sunday last the residence Of Rev.
j. G.. Williamson, of the bethlehem Presby-
terrain Church, was entered while he was
preaching and $40 in money and other
articles stolen therefrom. Suspicion fell upon
Buchanan and he was arrested and taken be-
fore Esquire Macklin, at Clinton, when he
confessed to the robbery and having the
money in his possession, and also that he had
at his home a trunk filled with clothing and
articles purloined at different times. Some
goods recently stolen from the store at Ham,
den were found in the trunk, and he also had
a silver watch from Solomon Carlson, of
Franklin township. The trunk was brought
here, aud on Tuesday Mr.. j. B. HopewelI
went before Esquire Durham and identified a
portion of the clothing contained therein as
having been stolen from his store some. weeks
ago fsBinker'' owned up 70 having COM
mitted the robbery, and stated that he had an
accomplish, who was a stranger here, hailing
from New York State. This accomplice,
however, has made good his escape. The
prisoner, when brought here was wearing
some Of the clothing stolen from Mr.. Hope
well. He will be remembered as the chap
who was implicated in several robberies about
here. three2ar -four years ago, for which he
served term in the State Prison. He now
has an excellent prospect for further resi-
dence there.-Repu5lican (Flemington.)

tB- The Democracy ofthis city, New Hope
and surrounding country, celebrated their
recent victory, on last Thursday evening by a
torchlight procession, &c. The affair was a
failure, taking into consideration the time
taken to prepare and the efforts made to get
out crowd. This was in part owing to the
fact that the members of the party who wore
good store clothes we're not inclined to parade,
with rare exceptions and it was left too much
to boys to make up the procession. The par
ade, however, presented fine appearance
from a distance, and the illumination of many
of the houses, made nice spectacle. At the
starting there were in the procession two
hundred horsemen and about the same mum.
Der on foot, but the footmen dwindled down
like the coming Democratic majorities, until
but a small fragment paraded in New Hope.
The orators who were announced, with one
exception, failed to put in an appearance, and
that one did not get an opportunity to speak
his piece. ia
