A CONVENTION between Austria and
Turkey, relative to Austrian occupation
of the Turkish Provinces has been con-

has not been fixed, but several articles
recognize the sovereignty of the
Sultan. The military situation
meanwhile is very embarrassing
for Austria, her army of occupation
being met with resistance at nearly ev-

further mobilization of troops. A vi
emma dispatch of the 10th reports that
80 Turkish battalions in Bosnia have
joined the insurgents, five of which are

TIE SHADOW OF FATE.
~ JUDGE JARVIS.

A rider was threading his way over a road
which lay along the hill at the base of the Blue
Ridge Mountains, in the region known as the
Piedmont of Virginia, about the sources of the
Rappahannock river.
The man himself might be described in the
same language, as far as it would apply. Be-
y0nd this his age was about thirty three, his
hair brown and full in lock, his eye of a gray
ish blue.
His way quickly brought the traveller to a
stream now running over its banks. Slipping
easily from his saddle, he frightened the girths,
slackered the crupper, and, gently patting his
animal, addressed few affectionate words to
him. Remounting, he fixed himself firmly in
tina saddle, gathered his bride in manner to
impart to his companion his own energy and
determination, and moved into the creek
Turning up the stream, he proceeded for
about hundred yards along the bank, and
then struck boldly across in a direct line, with
the horses head slantcd up current. The
depth OF the water did not sensibly increase
in the course of eighty yards, and the stranger
was congratulating himself upon the probable
ity Of getting over without a wetting when the
animal in two steps increased the depth until
he could no longer hold his footing, and
sprung boldly into the middle Of deep, rush.

brought back; to T., . desert ption and
account of him sent to New England
where the relatives Of Alice lived, and the
information obtained that he had wife
living there, that he was an Enthusiastically
character, and that his letter Of intro
duction was forged one.
,Alice's parents, believing that nothing
more serious than Arbitration" and per-
haps sincere love-making had transpired
between him and their daughter, express
ed themselves as being glad "that It was
no worse" When the girl surprised them
by sinking on the floor at her fathers
feet, crying, "Oh. father, it could be no
worse!' She then confessed that she had
been privately married tc the young man
few days before upon one of their long
drives in the country, and detailed the
pei suasions and means he used for wish
ing that the marriage be kept secret.
The anger Of the parents equallea the
anguish Of thir daughter, and criminal
prosecution for bigamy was begun agains@

to do, so far as Alice was concerned, for

surely lifting her beyond The terrible re-
suit Of her folly. She was dying of a
broken heart.

guilt of the adventurer, and waS sentenced

tence was pronounced upon him, he was
taken at the earnest request Of Alice, to
see her. The jailor led him into the
room, where she lay dying, and kept his
eye uopn the prisoner, as Alice pleaded
with him for the sake of the love she had
given him, to reform his life. When she
had put her thin hands on his and told
him what she had suffered because of him
how truly she had loved hinl-that she
was soon to die-that her parents were
heartbroken--it was enough to soften the
hardest heart. But he stood unmoved,
and when the jailor led him away, he

remark about the ease with which girls
were won. Three days later he was

Apples OF gold In pictures OF silver.

"a word fifty spoken is like apples Of gold

comes diseased, the mind is thereby necessa-
rily influenced. National wars, State dissen-
sions, neighborhood broils, and family differ
ence. are more frequently than otherwise the
result ofdiseased and disorded constitutions.
When the body is suffering, the mind, acting
II sympathy, will become irritated and per-
picked. When the physical system is in
health, the mind pcrceives things in their
true light, and the disposition assumes very
different phase. Nothing more directly tends
to destroy the happy, cheerful disposition of a
women, and render her peevish, nervous, and
fretful, than a constant endurance OF uterine
disorders. The diseases peculiar to women
take away the elasticity and bouyancy of
health and reduce her body and mind to a
mere wreck. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prcscrip-
