“ ‘ We will be proud of her when she is a grown young lady, dear,’ he said, laying the little velvet babe upon my arm. The winds were howling Without, and the snow was i'alling‘iast. A few hours later I was taken violently worse; your father, leaving me in charge of a faithful nurse, went for the tamin physician who lived many miles distant Upon the chronicle of time was recorded that stormy night a sad event. The greatest event held upon the annals of my memory is the mystery of ‘ Your father’s sudden disappearance. ight wane l, the morning sun rose in the east, and illuminated the seOIIOped hill-teps, and your father had not returned; and to this day, Katie, has his disappearance been a mystery to all. The snow was very deep, as it usually is in this country. At. first your father was supposed to be lost in the snow-storm, and, be- coming cold and exhausted, might be buried under some enormous snow- drift. Search was in vain, when the “Yesl you were born that ni ht, Katie, and your father and I 100 ed into your great brown eyes, and smiled with gratification, for we always wanted a brown-eyed little girl.

With this a trans formation soon took place, and the falling mist was changed to fleecy flakes of snow, that fall with great velocity. “Sure enough, this my birthday , but go on mam‘ma, and don’t 'cry so.” “ One year precisely, Katie, from the night thatI was married, there was another snowstorm, and just- such a blustering night as this. On that night a great event took place, it was on that night, Katie, that you was born.” Our story opens in the Northern- hmds; ’tis in the state of Switzerland where sleighing is the usual pastime, and furs and buffalo rugs are used for winter wrappings. “ You have not told me your great- est trouble ; proceed,” drawing her chair close to her mother. On the side of a craggy hill there is a. Gothic built cottage, as white as the street of snow that surrounds it. From each Window streams a mellow light, shed from cheerful fires burn- ing within. There are but two oc- eupante in this cottage, one a. woman of thirty-five, and, notwithstanding the sorrow depicted on her counten- ance, one can judge from fine outâ€" lines, and from lingering traces of youth, that she had once been a handsome woman. She is dressed in widow’s weeds, black bombazine frock, crepe collar, and a jet brooch. “ For one year after our marriage I considered myself the happiest mortal in existence. Your father loved me with devotion, and Ire- turned his love and made him my very idol. We should not love an earthly creature greater than the One above, Katief in this we are com- manded, and I am afraid that in my girlish devotion I broke the beami- ful commandment; and that great trouble referred to was just; retribu- tion sent down upon me,” said Mrs. Leslie; wiping the tears from her eyes, While regarding her daughter’s beauty and admiration, and contrast- ing her bright face and happy heart with her own. Her hair was of luxuriant growth and blended between a. chestnut shade and Vandyke brown. If long hair be the glory of a woman, as is Said in tradition by St. Paul, surely Kate Leslie’s was a shining glory. Upon the whole she was a Switzer- land beauty; he flickering rays of the fire illum 6 her form, and bright jewels glitter-ed upon her neck and arms. This personage of pleasing a pear- auee was the well known V idow Leslie. The other. her daughter Katie, who had just arrived at the longed-for age, sweet sixteen. Katie heslie was a flashing brunette, brown eyes, large and of almond shape, complexion a rich olive, and lips of carnation hue, which parted now and then revealing teeth of alabaster whiteness. “Explain, mammn; What is it the bleak November winds remind you of.” “It was on such a night as this, Katie, that your father and I were married. And those were the hap- piest hours of my checkered life. 0 never will I forget it, darling; I was young and fair like yourself, and was seated in this same room waiting for my lover to come and claim me as his bride. Comparing my life and happiness to the zones, Katie, my past was temperate, my present then torrid. Oh! but the future was frigid. Never did my poor guileless heart dream of the trouble before me; and, with Tom Moore, I almost learnt to say. ‘Here is a heart for every fate.’ And when the darkest shades of trouble began to be dealt out to me, my heart did not seem in fortitude, as if destined for What fate had in store for it. My joys were fleeting, darling, and in the place of sunshine came sable clouds of sor- row." ‘-‘ What were mamma ? “They were numerous, Katie, but one there was that out-balanced all, and came near rending my heart strings asunder. “ ’Tis very cold toâ€"night, dear mamma,” said Katie, drawing a rose- colored robe about her form. “Yes, “(is cold, Katie ; and with the solemn dirge that to-night’s wind seems to whisper, there looms before my vision strange recollections of the past.” ’Y AIAUE MUDD your troubles, Lem, as pale as marble, imprinted a kiss on Katie’s brow ; then turning to Mrs. Leslie, said :â€" “May'yourlivee be one constant gleam of sunshine,” was the minis- ter’s pronounced blessing upon the happy pair immediately after the ceremony. In the meantime, Mrs. Lesliehfearing that Katie might be- come faint, had left the room to pro- cure the camphor. On returning, great was her astonishment on be- holding Katie stoo ing over the prostrate form of em, who had swooned on the floor and the strange man was raising him from the floor While saying,â€" “Arise, Lemuel, and salute thy bride.” One there was, among the guests, who stood erect in afar corner of the room. His arms were firmly folded across his broad chest; his hair and beard as white as the driven snow, and his vision pale and cadaverous. The steel-like glitter of this strange man’s eye first glaimed at Katie, and then at her mother, whose face was unusually bright with smiles. Lem Rachaump was what might be called a. handsome man; and without exaggeration, as the bride and groom walked out upon the floor, they were regarded With great attention. snow had melted from the earth, and his body could no where be found. Then the natural su posi- Iion that he had drifted Wit the snow-barges into the river. So, thus Katie, wasI madoa mother and a. widow on the same eventful night. God gave me a child and took from me a husband." "' Oh! that was hard, mamma l ” “It was hard, my child, but God, in his might, struck the hard blow, and it behooves his children to bow in submission to his will. And you, Katie, are about to take the same step that your mother took seventeen years ago. Do not dwell to lightly on the greatest era of your life; re- member that life is two-fold, and its constituents are joy and sorrow. Do not think that you will not have a sufficient share of the letter. If the two constituents should come to you in equal proportions, then you may consider yourself one among the favored ones”. Katie was robed in a thin, White fabric, her rich Creole beauty was paramount, and queenly grace and stately beauty attractive in the exâ€" treme. “ There’s a Wondrous charm in music, Stealing fastâ€" O’er our hearts awakening memories Of the past. There are notes of heavenly sweet, that prompt the soul to look upwards, and cause the weary heart to rejoice. This night of gay festivity was Kate Leslie’s wedding night. The reason was unknown, but Mrs. Les- lie appeared happier on this occasion than she had for many years. She seemed to comprehend the approach- ing bliss that Katie held in sweet reality. Just then the tinkling sound of sleign-bells were heard without, and Katie Leslie hastened to the door to meet her lover. Time passed, and the cottage on the hillside was bri htlyilluminated , voices of mirth an hearts filled with rapture formed the merry throng Within; low rip ling music' floated out upon the nig t breeze. Lem Rachaump was a man of fine and prepossessing appearance, tall and well-built, black hair and eyes, and their heavy lashes were not blacker than the moustache that flourished a curl at each corner of his fine chiseled mouth. The Wind blew Without, and the snow fell thick and fast. Mrs. Les- lie had disturbed dreams of a clouded past, while Katie indulged 'in sweet dreams of future bliss. “I am come at last, Katie,” said Lem shaking the snow from his tur cape. As soon as Lem was gone, Katie again joined her mother. “ Mamma, Lam’s in trouble.” “Every one has their troubles, Katie. How is Lam’s father.” " In a dyingyondition l ” “ Lem'e father and yours were rivals, at one time, Katie.” “ Is that so ? ” “ Most aswredly. Col. Renton be- came very angry at our marriage, and swore wengeence against your father; and I suppose, if he had lived, there might have been trouble be- tween them somo day,” said Mrs. Leslie, With a sigh; and she and Katie began fixing to retire. “You will find a welcome await- ing you." “ Yes, mamma has been relating to me the saddest art of her life, and it has cast a. g 00m over the merry part of my nature." “ I. too, have heard a history, Katie, that has cast a gloom over my heart.” “Indeed I explain, dear Lem.” “ I cannotjust now; but this much I can say, my father cannot live un- til morning. To me he has revealed a great secret of his past life, and our wedding must be ontponed. I can- not tarry long Wit you, darling; be ready for the approaching nuptials.” “And your father must die? ” “Without a doubt l ” Lem Rachaump remained awhile with Katie, then bounded into the sleigh, hastening to his father’s bed- side who Was suffering with extreme agony. The dying ’man was not Lem’s own father, but his step-father. However, he had honored and res- ected him as much as if he had een. Lem’s stepfather was a man of immense wealth, and his name was 001. Benton. “ Thank you, Katie, dear; but what’s this ?' You have been crying.” “My mother, my wifeâ€"let me CHAPTER II. 1 “My captor endeavored to make me believe that I had been insane for the space of five years. The assertion I could not doubt, knowing that I had been insensible, but how long I could not tell. And furthermore, I. after- wards also learned that while insen- sible, there had been applied to my hair a liquid to change its color, and‘ the untimely wrinkles were not natural, but were ingeniously made “ These were the taunting words of my rival. And thus have I lived, ‘dear Wife, for seventeen years in per- fect torture. My prison was the dormer-chamber of Col. Renton’s tower. This, I afterwards found out. The only rays that penetrated it was through an oval sky-light. The first time that it was opened, heavens! I found my hair to be as White as the ‘ driven snow, and my hands and face wrinkled as if with age. “Col. Renton owns a lofty tower, the loftiest in the State.” “ Yes, I remember it.” “After being sufficiently drugged I was borne to this in an insensible state of mind. When I became eon- seious my captor was near me, enjoyin§ with a revengeful heart his wicied triumph; my first en- quiry was my wife and child.” “And his answer ? ” “First a scornful laugh, then a ‘taunt by asking me if I knew where I was. I told him that I thought 1 was in his tower ; but he endeavour- ed to assure me that I was in N ewMex- ico. ‘We have brought you here in- sane,’ said he. ‘Xou will live and die in this prison; you are in my power and need show no resistance, for the guards around these walls are great. Your wife and child are better. I received a telegram from Switzerland to-day.’ ” gladden your hearts by bringing into your presence one who has long since been considered dead.” “ O God ! can this be true ? ” And the fainting form of Mrs. Leslie was {supported by the pro- tective arms of her husband. “Father, father! Ohl it is you that stands before me? If you are my long lost father, I implore you to speak,” was Katie's convulsive sob. “Be calm, my daughter." Katie’s arms were around her father’s neck, and in his weak state would have pulled him to the floor in her moments of excitement, had Lem not borne her from the room While screaming frantically. This was an exciting wedding ; great con- sternation was depicted upon the face of each guest. “Horror! the villian, the brute ! ” said Mrs. Leslie, placing one hand over her eyes as ir'to shut out mo- mentary pain. “Is this a dream ? " said Mrs. Leslie when she opened her eyes and saw her husband bending over her. “My entroaties were in vain. I told him of my wife’s and child’s illness, who needed my immediate attention. And he curled his lip with scorn and laughed with bold. deriâ€" non.” " I am the husband of thy youth, and have a long story to tellfitheo, but cannot relate it until you become calm." “I am calm; I am satisfied it is you, Richard, but oh, how sadly changed. Your silvered hair, your furrowed brow, and the steely glitter in your eye. But ahl darling, there is the same musical, loving tone in your voice that has lingered in my memory ever since that fatal night. Oh! that; fatal night,” and again did she faint away. As I was returning at the hour of midnight, I heard tramping of horse’s feet in the snow; not being aware of my dangerous situation, I rode along unconcerned, and utterly unconscious of the blackened scheme of immortal- ity and vice that surrounded me. But soon I was aware that I was at the mercy of a band of roughs, who held me as their captive. Great hor- rors I then and there did I’ recognise the captain of that band, and who do you think it was? ” “I can’t imagine! ” “My rival / ” “Indeed! ” “Yes, and he hissed these Words botWeen his toethâ€"‘This is my hour of vengeance; you Ihall die a slow death, and by the instrumentality of my hands, too.’ Daysmfassed, and this unexpected news h been too great a shock for Mrs. Leslie’s nerves. She raved in wild delirium, canned by a violent fevar that followed the shock. “Are you better today, dear wife ?" asked Richard Leslie one morning, as his Wife opened her eyes and cast their V languid expression upon the lone watcher by her bed side. “ But, Richard, tell me where have you been these many long years? Did you desert me with a false heart during my illness ? ” f‘ God forbid such I ” “ Where, then, have you been ? ” “Be calm, and I Will explain.” Mr. Leslie replenished the fire with fuel, gave the invalid a spoon- ful of pounded ice, theh heaving a deep sigh, proceeded with the story, which was as follows: “ It was I who cared for you; but you are very weak and must not talk more,” while smoothing the folds of the snow-white eounterpane. “Ido,” responded the attentive Wife. “ And that stormy nightwhen our little Kate was born ?” “Some better, thank you,” she re- sponded with a sigh of relief. “I will call Lem and Katie." . “ Stayâ€"wait! am I dreamin , or was it you, Richard, that must me in my illness?” “ Oh,’yes, ’twas then my trouble: began I ” ‘ “You remember, darling, old 001. Benton and I were bitter rivals ? ” A young married gentleman of Boston, who has no children, gave the other evening, a birthday party to his cat, and Thomas was greeted by an assemblage of ladies and gen tleâ€" men of a very merry order. Tom was adorned with ribbons and fur- belows, and his portion of the feast consisted of a game supper and plenty of catnip. The rest of the assemblage sat dowu to a collation of which the the centre piece was a cake covered ‘With silver cats. Each guest had also a, baked catâ€"made of gingerbread. Tom excused himself early in the evening, as he had an engagement with other felines, and just before the party broke up, he came round with aset of jolly fellows and serenaded ‘ the company. i Now, reader, we will bring our story to a close. Mrs. Leslie recovered and the first year of her Wedded hep: Einess could, in no Wise, excel the lissful present, although, in the noon of youth, these two tried hearts loved with the fervor of youth. Katie and Lem lived at the Cottage With the old pe0ple, and after the sable clouds ofsorrow had been dispersed, all Went merry as a marriage-bell. by the careful up lication of a. caustic- like substance. IEn this prison I had books to read, and refreshments in plentitudo. This kindness was unex- pected of my captor. ’Tis said that every man has his‘ ill humors, his fits of peevishness and exacerbation. Is “Never mind, dear Lem, I love him all the better for liberating my poor father; you could have con- tinued to 'hold Ehim in bondage, and saved the public disgrace of which you speak, had you been mean enough,” said Katie, imprinting a kiss upon her noble husband’s pale forehead. it Better that he should spend these upon his fellow man, or suffer them to subside of themselves? In this instance it was spent upon a fellow being. “In my deep affliction my senses refused to fill their oflice. I could neither eat nor sleep. On one 'oc‘caâ€" sion, when my captor came in-my presence, ‘I became desperate, and made a. spring toward him, trying the While to overpower him and make good my‘oscape if possible. In an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, the guard was upon me, and that night I was prostrated upon my back, fettered in cords. Part of‘ the night was spent counting the stars through the sky-light, and imploring the march of One who reigned beyond those stars. ' “‘ O I father, is mamma better? We are 9.1150 happy now,” said Katie, entering the room and throwing her arms around her father’s neck. Lem came in and took a seat near the sick couch. He had been telling Katie all about her father’s confinement in. the tower, and the lasting disgrace and trouble that lurked around his heart. “This was the conversation that passed between Lem and I. And on the night of the Wedding, as soon as his eyes met mine, a sick tremor over- powered him. I would not make my- self known until after the ceremony, for I knew that a. commotion would follow." “ No! thank God; he was only my step-father. And my mother has been npared this trouble and disgrace by going;before him.’ - “Time dragged heavily along. I was tortured many ways, while in in my priion, by that wickedman, Benton. I knew when the broad orb of day lit 11 the verdant earth, and when the Ba 16 curtain of night over- shadowed it. I had .no calendar from Which to reckon the days, weeks, and months, nay, years that elapsed into eternity while in my prison walla.” “ How did you obtain your release, dear Richard ?” ueried Mrs. Leslie, interrupting her usband’s long nar- ration. “‘Cheer up, young man,’ said I. ‘ If the mother Wills it, Katie shall be your Wife. The child is not respon- sible for the parent’s deeds; and, again, not one drop of that man’s blood courses its way through your veins.’ “I will relate. Some time ago I heard voices conversing in the dis tance. The hour was twilight. My attention was directed to the words of a. man, apparently young from the tone of his voice. He called the name of Kate Leslie. My whole frame trembled like an aspen. It reminded me of the long ago. You had told me that you would name our little babe Kate. That night I could not sleep; and when my captor made his usual round I told what I had heard, and begged to see Katie Leslie. His answer was a cold retort. , “Thus did he res 0nd to my r0- qnest. Afterward t- 6 sound of the floung men's voice I recognized to e Lem’e. I never knew of my rival’e marriage, nor of anything that transâ€" pired in the outer world. You may imagine my surprise and joy when the guards admitted a stranger, a few days past. It was Lem Rachaump, who stated that his father was dead, and had revealed to him the secret of my confinement in the tower, While dying. And, furthermore, stating that his lather ordered my release. Lem was kind, and told me where I was, and that my Wife andchild were both living, and were recisely in the same house where had left them. Language cannot describe, nor pen portray my feelings at the knowledge of gthis unexpected news. Lem told, me of his utter ignorance of my exist- ence, and of his and Katie’s approach- ing union, adding with agitation,“ “‘ But of course our happiness is now blasted.’ “ ‘Why so '2’ said I. “ ‘You would not suffer your daugh tar to wed the non of that black- hearted man ?' “ ‘Why do you Wish to see people that do not concern you?

Eggs cost sixty cents per dozen at Yonkers, N. Y., and very poor eggs at that, most of them having “surviv- ed their usefulness," to express it po- litely. The trial of the murderer Scanuell, which has occupied the New York: Court of Oyer and Terminer for about three weeks, four days of which Were: consumed in obtaining a jury, is at ‘A last concluded, resulting in a disagree-f ment of the jury, eight being for conâ€"3 viction and four for acquittal. It will be remembered in connection with the case, that on the evening. of the 2nd of November last a political pool was being held on the eve of the then pending election at Johnson’s pool room, corner ofTwenty-eighth street} and Broadway, in a basement underi Apollo Hall. A deadly feeling of passion and hatred had for a consider- able time previous to the shooting lrankled in the breast of the prisoner, John Scannell, against his victim on that occasion, Thomas Donohoe, the murdered man. The pool room was crowded, and many friends of the Vic- tim and his murderer Were present on the occasion. Scannell had been in the room some time before Donohoe’s entrance, and but a. few moments elapsed from his appearance there until the moment that Scannell, en- countering him, drew a heavy navy revolver and at once commenced firing at him. The very first dis- charge of the weapon was .the death of Donohoe, although Scannell fired three other shots at him as he lay dying on the floor at his feet. Scan- nell was at once arrested and the cirâ€" cumstance of his' guilt was clearly established at the trial. The defence rested solely and absclutely upon the irresponsibility of Scannell for the shooting of .Donohoez Judge Brady, before whom the trial was held, dis- charged the jury with great relucâ€" tance after they had been locked up all night and all day. During the municipal year the Ban- gor, Me, police have seized 5,679 gal Ions of liquor. Last year 222 gallons were confiacated. An English auctioneer’s advertise- ment once described a. country villa having for its only drawback the abundâ€" ance of the rose-leaves, which littered the walks, and the songs of the nightin- gale, which almost prevented sleep. The London Times thinks this fancy picture actually exceeded in V descrip- tion by the picture of real life transmit- ‘ ted recently from New Zealand in sober earnestness. There is but a single qualification in the whole tale of happi- ness~a single exception to the rule of universal success. Money-lenders are not doing very well, simply because everybody in the colony has so much money of his own that there is no need of borrowing. Joint-stock banks ac- cordineg issue indifferent reports, and declare diminished dividends. One of these establishments has $3,000,000 unemployed, and informs its sharehold- ers that the demand for cash has fallen to that unpleasnat amount within the last six months. Perhaps it is still more extraordinary to find the Colonial Government in the same state of ex- ceptional and fortunate embarrasment It has now, “ in lieu of financial difficulties, to deal with the difiiculties of excess of means at its command.” A large balance of the public revenue stands to the credit of the Administra~ tion at the Bank, where it is not want- ed, and Ministers are compelled to lock up $200,000‘of trust funds, “ because securities in which to invest it cannot be found.” The Times has long been an ardent supporter of the Australian Colonies, and this description of _ affairs tickles its fancy, causing it to say that “ never, even in the hyperboles of Asiatic story tellers, has such a picture of wealth and ease been presented Etc the world.” In connection with the termination of the trial and the final result of the deliberations of the jury, the New York Herald remarks :â€"The result is another confirmation of the truth of an assertion which brought Jack Reynolds to the halterâ€"that “ hang- ing is played out.” No other ofl'enee is so little likely to be‘punished in New York as the taking of human life. It may occasion temporary loss of liberty, but its chances of bringing the slayer to the scaffold are very slim. Society cannot long afford this raetical abandonment of the penalty or murder. Life becomes utterly at the mercy of any drunken rufiian in the car, or an embittered antagonist in any feud. Scotland requires only a majority of a jury for a conviction. A change of English law is (Froposed in the same direction; an in the New York Assembly on Thursday last Mr. Voorhis introduced a bill deâ€" claring " that after the passage of this act a verdict rendered by twoâ€"thirds of a regularly empanelled jury shall be considered in all criminal cases the verdict of such jury.” Such a farce as Scannell’s case has proved shows that our own statutes might be im- proved, in the interests of public so- cioty, by a. modification of rules gov- erning trials for murder.” The Trial of Scannéll. “ First come first serveu.” Samp 9 free.
