A Strange Story.
In tba autumn of 1617, whila the
wooda wers bright with tba variegated
bass which foUow tha light touches
of early frost, a moo Died traveler wu
parsalnr bin WT tbrouin a dark,
broad. loDelr forest, in the western
cart of New York. Ue bad ridden
three miles since seeing a baman
habitation, and be bad two to ro be
forebeeoald get sight of another,
. - He was descend! n a bill into a
gloomy-looking valley, through
which flowed a shallow, Lot swiri
running stream ; and on reaching tb
water be permitted bis thirsty feast
to stoD and drink.
At that moment a man came out
from a cluster of bashes into the road,
or horse path, on the other side or the
stream. This man was dreed like a
hnnter. and carried a rifle on bis
ahnnlrUr. In his appearance there
was nothing that indicated hostility
or a wicked design. He was ol
exUnm size, compactly built, with
! " intaHeetoa! features and a certain air
of rsstUity eeemlog rather as- one
abroad from soma aettlemetit lor a
day's sport than a professional hunter.
All this the in ousted traveler eare-
folly noted as be erased the stream
to continue bis Journey, and when
they came together a pleatant saluta
tisn was exobuged
"Fine weather for traveling, sir !"
replied the man with the gun.
"And for hanting, also, I should
soppose." smiled the other on the
bona.
"Yes, there Is game enough,'' re
turned the other, "but I am not a
rood hunter, and can only show one
bear for my day's work thus far, and
that is almost useless to me, because
I bare no means to take ft airsy. I
would willingly give dollar for the
nee of a horse like yours for a couple
or boors. If you could spare nre
minutes or so I woul 1 like you to eee
the bear ; it is only back behind the
boshes, some twe hundred yards
from bars." i
"I will not only look at it," replied
the traveler, dismounting and fasten
Ing bis horse, "but if not too heavy, I
will take it along for yon, seeing I am
going your way."
The banter thanked him In a most
cordial manner, and tben, as if to
make himself agreeable, and keeping
np the eon versatton, - inquired where
the other was from, whither journey
lug, etc., and learned in reply that
the latter resided in Albany, was a
merchant in good business, and was
traveling partly for bis health and
partly with a view for making an ex
tensive land purchase for future spec
lation.
'WelL here we are,", exclaimed
the banter, as tbe two emerged from
r the dense thicket, tbronjii which
they bad slowly forced tbeir way into
tee open wood : r"and now i ll show
you as fat and as fine a beast as yon
ever saw. Observe where I point
with my rifle.
He steDDed back aome elebt or ten
feet, deliberately raised the piece to
nis eye and pointed tbe muzzle direct
ly at the bead of the traveler. There
was a nasb and a loud report, and the
victim fell like a log, his faoe covered
with blood
This might or might not have been
the Brat crime committed by tbe man
with tbe rifle. But as the traveler
fell tbe rifle slipped through his
bands, and be shook Violently from
bead to foot : yet be ran to bis victim
and hurriedly robbed him of bis
parse, bit pocket-book, a gold watch
and ehain, aome curious seals, a dia
mond breast-pin and a diamond riog,
which he fairly tore from his finger.
Then be dragged tbe body into the
thicket, picked np his rifle, plunged
madly through tbe bushes to tbe
road, moanted tbe traveler's horse,
.and flashed away from the awful
scese.
We must now suppose a lapse of
twenty years.
In tbe spring of 1837 there lived in
tbe city of New York a banker and
millionaire, whom we shall call
Btephen Edwards. Hs owned a pais
tial mansion, splendidly furnished. In
the very heart of the town, and he
and his wife were among the leaders
of the fashionable world. They bad
beautiful daughter, just turned to
swset sixteen, who was about to be
married to a foreign nobleman, and
great preparations were making for
tbe happy event.
One day about this period, as the
great banker was conversing with
gentleman from another city, who
called to see him on busloees, be ob
served tbe latter tarn suddenly very
pale and begin to tremble.
"My dear sir," he said, In bis usual
tone or 03-band sympathy, "what is
tbe matter ? Are yon ill ?"
"A little faint, sir, but . nothing to
cause alarm," replied tbe ether, bur
riedly. - I am subject to similar spells
IX yon would le kind enough to ex.
euse me for ten minutes or so. I will
take a short walk aad retura In better
condition."
in ten minute be did return, re
porting himself quite well, calmly
proceeded to nnisn bis business with
tbe banker, and then respectfully took
his leave.
It was perhaps a week after this
that, one night, the banker was sit
ting before the fire In bis library,
when a servant came i la and present
a turn a tetter. He took it. with a
yawd opened it In tbe most indolent
and indiffertnt manner possible ; but
bad not read a dosen lines before he
rose np with a start, turned pale,
and trembled, so that the paper rat
tled. He finished tbe note for it was
rather a note than a letter worked
one hand nervously at bis throat, and
with the other clasped his forehead
and temples. For a minute or two be
seemed to have choked into calmness,
by an Iron will, aome terrible emo
tions, and be so fsr succeded as to ad
dress the waiting servant In an ordi
nary ton. . -
"jamee,' 4e said, "who give you
tba latter?"
"A man, sir ; hs sai l be would wait
for an answer."
"Tben I suppose be is waiting ?"
"Yea, sir."
Boon there was a light tap at (he
door, and tbe banker said "dome in,"
In an ordinary tone.
Tbe servant opened the door, ush
ered in the stranger and immediately
withdrew. The latter was verging
on sixty, of rough appearance and
coarse attire. He wore an old gray
overcoat, buttoned to the throat, and
a pair of green goggles, and the whole
dress was saturated with rain.
"Take a seat," said the banker,
pointing to a chair near tne fire.
"So, thank yon. I'll stand," was
the gruff reply. "You got my letter,
mad of coarse yoa know my business."
be added.
"Yoa allude to this, I suppose," re
turned tbe banker, producing tbe let
ter that had caused bim so much per
turbation. "Yes."
"1 do not understand it, you must
have made a mistake."
"No; no mistake at all. I wa

10th of Obtober ana saw you, Stephen
Edwards, shoot the man, and if yoa
Kte deny it I'll have you in prison
fore morning. I have laid my
plans and got everything sure, and If
you go to playing innocent and re
f using my terms I'll take care to see
that yoa die scratching hemp."
Tbe banker in spite of himself,
turned pale, shuddered and staggered
to a seat.
"What do yon want?" be groaned.
M A hundred thousand dollars not
a cent lees."
"I can not give it it would ruin
me."
"Just as you say," rejoined the oth
er, moving toward tbe door. "Yoa
know what shall follow if I go away
this way."
"Oh, stay ; yoa mast not go yet,"
cried the man of crime in terrible
alarm.
He argued, urged, pleaded, implored
for mercy at a lees fearful cost. In
vain. At last tbe banker, seeing
rain, disgrace and death before him
if be refused, agreed to tbe terms.
He also agreed to meet the stranger,
with tbe required sum, on the follow
ing night in front of 8L Paul's
eourcn. uoin were punctual to the
fixed time, and bills od checks to
the amount of $100,000 chanzed

A Bonth later there was a trsmen
dousrvu upon the bant: of which
Btepben Edward was principal own
er. It was soon broken and closed.
Then the Sheriff was set to work by
eager creditors, and all the real estate
and personal property of the late
millionaire was seized and sold, leav
ing him a beggar and tbe juet claims
unsatisfied. Fashionable friends de
aarted tbe family, and tbe proud
nobleman refused the band of a ruined
banker's daughter.
In the very mldit of this disgrace
aad tribulation Stephen Edwards
encountered tbe man who bad turned
so pale and become so agitated in his
presence a short time before.
"I rather think yoa do not know
me, sir," said the gentlemen, with a
formal bow . ....

times. Dj you know, girls, what
is to be a widow ? It is to be ten
times more open to comment and
criticism than any demoiselle could
poesibly be. It is to have men gaze
as yoa pass, first at your black dress
and then at yeur widow's cap, until
your sensitive nerves quiver under
tbe infliction. It is to have one ill
natured person ssy : "I wonder
bow long sbe will wait before she
marries aeain 7" and another an
swers: ''Until she gets a good
chance, I suppose." It is now and
tben to meet tbe glance of real
sympathy, generally from the poorest
and bumUeet woman you meet, and
reel your eves fill at the token, eo
rare, that it is. alas ! unlocked for.
It ia to have your dear fashionable
friends console yoa after tbe following
fashion : "O well, it is a areaaroi
loss. We know you feel It, dear."
And in the next breath : "Yoa will
be sure to marry again, and bur
widow's cap is very becoming to
yoa." Bat it is more than this to be
a widow. It is to miss the strong
arm yoa have leaned upon, tbe true
faith that yoa knew could never fall
yoa, though all the world might
forsake you. It is to miss tbe dear
voice that uttered your name with
tenderness that none other could give
it. It is to bear no more tbe well'
known footsteps that you new so
gladly once to meet, to see no more
tbe face that was so dear to your gaze,
to feci no more tbe twining arms that
folded you so lovingly : tbe dear
yes that, looking Into your own, said
plainly, whatever it might seem to
others, yours was tbe fairest face
earth held fox bim. It is to fight with
mighty sorrow as a man fights with
the waves that overwhelm mm, and
to hold It at arm's length for a while
only to nave in the hours of loneness
and weakness, tbe torrent roll over
you, while poor storm-driven dove
you seek your haven.
PROFANITY.
the
tbe
by
our
Tbe Cincinnati Gazette makes
following strong point against
use of profane language :
Tbe use of profanity is caused
educational deficiencies, and if
common schools shall do tbeir true
mission, they will banish from our
land this bad manner. In support of
this, we refer to tbe boundless re
sources of tbe English language, with
Its 75100 words, more or lss, expres
sive of every degree of force and
every shade of feeling : whereas, tbe
wboie vocabularly of profanity is less
than a dozen words, almost incapa
bis of any shade in meaning or force.
ana sasceptioie oniy or senseless lep
etitlon. From this it is self-evident
that he who uses this poor vocabu
lary to express bis feelings, must be
gnorant of tbe wealth and almost in
finite resources of tbe other, and that
is to be pitied for bis lack of early
advantages.
Could, But She Wouldn't.
A Detroiter, who has been married
but tbree months, was the otber day
tossing over tbe things in his wife's
sewing basket, when be came across
little roll or newspaper articles
about Laura Fair and Irene House.
"How did you come by these ?" be
asked, as his wife entered tbe room.
Those? W by, l took great oains
cut them out and preserve them,"
was tbe reply.
But bow can yoa take any inter
in reading of such women ? one of
them shot a friend, and the otber a
husband."
"Oh, I merely cut them out," was
evasiva reply.
There was a painiui silence for two
three minutes, when she crossed
over to bim and tenderly said :

"Hard times," Indeed, when two or
