With these words he handed the young
man paper, giving the locality Of h !
dwelling. 1t lay in the suburb inhab; ted
by the poorer classes, at some distance
from the city proper.


And my name is Carl T. hcreupon
said the young man. Take this bank note;
it will reach till my return
Carl rang for the waiter, had the pro.
prietor called, commended the old man to
his care in suitable terms, and left the
house.


Hardly had the morning broke, when
Carl found himself on the way to the sub.
urb where lived the daughter Of the old
man with whom he had become acquainted
under such peculiar circumstances. TWAS
not without trouble that he found the house.
1t was a poor place. The young man
knocked, opened the door, and involuntari
ly stepped hack. What did he see? The
young girl whose Inconsistency had made
his life burden unbearable, stood before
him. She had grown pale-vcry pale but
he knew her at the first glance it was
Bertha, whom he had once hoped to call
his own. At his appearance the young girl
sprang toward him overcome with iov,
holding out her little hand. The young
man waved her back exclaiming:


You did not expect to sec me p


The poor girl sank into seat, and GOV.
cred her pale beautiful countenance with
her hands.


Are you William SIS daughter p
asked the young man coldly, after a pause.


l am answered the maiden timitlly.


And who and where is that other. t,
whom, as you told me at parting, your life
belonged ?


That other is my father answered the
young girl, looking up to the young man
with glance in which spoke the tenderest
love.


With lightning quickness the truth
dawntd upon him, the scales fell from his
eycs-suddenly all was clear. Speech.
less he rushed to Bertha, took her in his
arms and pressed her to his breast.


Come to your father, ne faltered to the
young girl.


MY father! Oh, God F.! I forgot where
is he! He has been out all night I have
watched for him in tears the long night
through


Your father is saved. He is with me-
was Carls answer as he hurried the young
girl out, and through the streets to the arms
Of her-of his father.

IRISH WIrALwAYs READY.-Itis now known
that the surrender of Lexington was rendered q
necessity by the want of ammunition, as well as
by the want of water A few of the companies
had one or two rounds left, hut the majority
had fired their last bullet After the surrender
an officer was detailed by Price to collect the
ammunition and place it in safe charge. The
officer addressing Adjutant Cosgrove asked
him to have the ammunition surrendered
Cosgrove called up dozen men, one after the
other, and exhibiting the empty cartridge boxes
said to the astonished rebel officer, 81 believe,

A FLEET OF SMALL VEssELs.-There are
at present in the ship-yards of New York,
says the Commercial Advertiser, of Nov.
u, twelve or fifteen schooners, of from 250
to $50 tuns each, which are undergoing q
novel modification in order to fit them for
service along the coast. They are strength
eDed with additional beams aud knees, and
have extra decks on which their armament
is worked.


The peculiar feature of the change being
effected in them is that they are to be built
up solid in front, where an enormous NOR
tar. weighing twenty-five thousand pounds,
will be mounted.


The tremendous shock from the discharge
Of thirteen inch mortar will require the
greatest degree of firmness in ship to re-
sist it successfully. hence the determination
to build these small vessels solid in front.
No other armament will be placed on board
these craft, although some have been fitted
to carry four guns. The light draft of these
vessels peculiarly fits them for service along
the Southern coast, which is indented with
so many inlets, creeks and sounds through
out the entire length. ~


Directions have been given TO use all pos
sible diligence 10 completing these vessels.
MS they are intended for immediate service.
They have therefore been divided among
almost as many ship builders as there are
vessels. The al mament for these schooners
is being prepared at Pittsburg.

Two WAYs.-There are two ways Of


dealing with our fellow-men, both Of


which may be considered honest. One


is to give yoar neighbor his due, but
not q cent more. In shovelling the


snow from the sidewalk, take care and


not shovel any from before his house.


Stop exactly at the line; and give him


to understand that he must shovel his
own snow. Pursue the same policy in
everything and let him know that he
has neigbbor who will not suffer his


rights to be trampled on. The result
is natural. You stir up the same spirit
in him. He looks ont for bis rights as
jealously as you do for yours; and You
soon find that you have got one Of the
least accommodating, one Of the mean
est and most obstinate Of neighbors in
the world; while be entertains precisely
the same opinion of you. -.


The other way is to deal not exactly,
but generously. Always be willing to
pay all the things you purchase is
worth; and show less anxiety about
paying too much than about paying too
little. Shovel the snow from before
both houses when convenient, and don't
look as if you expected some grateful
return for the favor. Feel that it is q
pleasure to accommodate your neigh
bors in all things possible; and that, In
matters of slight misunderstanding. it
is always better msgnanimously to sur
render your rights than to indulge in
petty quarrel. You will soon find that
also in this case you will stir up simi-
lar spirit in those you deal with; and
that. instead Of jealousies and COM
plants Of each other, which are the
curse Of a neighborhood. you and your
friends will initiate each other in doing
kind Offices.


Or. if this does not result. you will
still be the gamer. You will gain a
noble and serene spirit of federation,
which will be worth more to you than
al the trifes there may be dispute
about. Your charity and generosity
will be reflected back upon yourself;
md the more liberally you treat those
who use you i'll, the larger and warmer
7our heart will become, and the sWeeter
md worlhier your life.

A Doc SToRT.-A gentleman, who
owned noble looking Newfoundland
dog, was praising his good qualities to
friend. He assured his companion
that Negro would, upon receiving the
order, return and fetch any article he
should leave behind, from any distance.
To confirm this. a marked quarter was
first shown to the dog, and then put
under a large square stone by the side
Of the road. The gentleman rode for
three miles. when the dog received the
signal from his master to return for the
quarter he had seen put under the stone.
The dog turned back, the gentlemen
rode on and reached home; but, to their
great surprise, their hitherto faithful
messenger did not return during the
day. 1t afterwards appeared that he
had gone to the stone under which the
quarter was placed, but it being too
large for bis strength to remove, he re-
manned bowling at the place till two
gentlemen on horseback, hearing the
noise made by the dog. stopped to look
at him, when one of them alighting, re-
moved the stone, and seeing the quar-
ter, put it into bis pocket, not at the
time thinking it to be the object of the
dogs search. The dog followed their
horses for twenty miles, remained quiet

TIE NEW SrAFz OF VrRersra.-The


Wheeliug btslligsncsr has always been


strongly in favor Of making the new


State a Free STATE. We copy the fol.


lowing from late issue Of that paper:


Seven-tenths at least Of the votes


cast m Western Virginia for q new


State. meant free State. II is only


lately, since the nigger-driving press


have undertaken to dispsrsge the poll
cy, that there has seemed to be any hesi-


fancy about it. But the public senti-


ment is finding its equilibrium again
Everywhere tits bursting forth, wherev-
er it can End medium of expression.
Mr.. Battelle's noble and powerful ad-
dress will ini quick and a glad re-
sponse in thousands Of hearts. The.
people are disguised at the policy which
is sought to be fastened on. the virgin
yonng State. They are becoming
each day more thoroughly disguised
Every days mail from the interior
brings to as the evidence Of 1t. Let
ters IN profusion are received by us,
and all breathing the same unabated
feelings, the same ancient longing that
underlaid and prompted in years gone
by the desire for new State. As one
writer well observes to us, ave would
infinitely prefer this day we never
should have a new State than it should
be miserable little two-penny nigger
affair. with cothing at home to make it
great, and with everything like wealth
and brains and population and enter
prise effectually driven off from its bor-
ders." So also We say. better by far be
a nigger State respectable at least in
size, than a miserable dwarf of thing
with Just enough of the institution to
kill US in public estimation in the free |
States, with just enough to hinder and
bully all our public legislation-with |
Just enough to be bone Of contention
and a political hobby--with Just enough
to be burthen Of costly debate at every
meeting of our Legislature, and never
ending element Of distraction; in short,
just enough to be perpetual scare-crow
to free State emigration and to effectu-
ally damn US in the quarter where We
must look for aid. for sympathy, and
for all that we expect to become in the
family Of States.


IF the new State movement does not
end in free State, then are our people Of
all people the most mlserably situated.
Better the project bad never been born.
We are only burdened with ConVen-
tion for nothing. The old regime is
again over us, with the old ailment on
us. And as Mr.. Battelle well says 10
his pamphlet. "let us not deceive our.
selves; as it has been under the old State
with the old system, so will it be under
the new State with the old system"

SUDDEN DEATHs.-Dr. Hall, in his
Journal Of Health, says that very sud-
den deaths which are said to arise from
disease of the heart, do really arise
from that cause. To ascertain the real
origin OF sudden deaths. the Doctor
says the experiment has been tried in
Europe, and reported to a scientific
congress held at Strasburgh. Sixty
six cases Of sudden deaths were made
the subjects of thorough post naorten
examination. In these cases only two
were found who died from disease OF
the heart. Nine out of sixty-sixty died
of apoplexy, while there were forty-six
cases of congestion oftbe lungs; that is,
the lungs were SO full of blood they
could not work, there not being room
enough for a sufficient quantity of air
to enter 10 support life. The DR.. goes
on to enumerate the causes that may
produce congestion of the lungs. They
are-cold feet; tight shoes; tight cloth
ing; costiveness; sitting still until chill
ed thro' after being warmed by labor
or a rapid walk; going too suddenly
from a close-heated room into the cold
air, especially after speaking; and sud-
den depressing news operating on the
blood. These causes Of sudden death
being known, an avoidance of them
may serve to lengthen our valuable
lives, which would otherwise be lost
under the verdict Of heart complaint.
That disease is supposed to be incura.
BILE. and hence men may not take the
pains they would to avoid sudden death
if they knew it lay in their power.
