A Story of the Far West,
BY AN OLD TRAPPER—(THE AUTHOR OF “ZEKE JOHNSON.")
CHAPTER L
Tns CHASE AMD THE COMBAT.
The autumnal breeze moaned over the soli-' tudes of the vast prairie, and, as far as the eye could reach, tbe long grass undulated like tbe waves of ocean.
The prospect was interrupted only by occa-1 sional clumps of trees, at a great distance apart. All seemed to be desolate and lonely, and save the gentle murmur of the gate, silence brooded over the wide waste, when suddenly might have been seen darting from a grove of cotton-wood trees, a small, noble steed, covered with foam, and bearing on his back a stalwart man, iu ths garb of a hunter, upon whose arm rested a young lemale, her bead falling back as if io a swoon, white her long, brown hair swept the crupper of tbe bounding steed.
Right on came the horseman, dashing out from the wood upon tbe rank vegetation of the prairie, as if flying for life ; and, io the next moment, appeared a gigantic Indian, on another horse, at least as fleet as his predecessor.
Tbe savage was instigated by the utmost fury; he beat hie horse with hand and heel, and with shouts of vengeance put bim to bis utmost speed. The hunter seemed bent on bearing forward bls charge out of reach of the pursuer, and, while more cool and self-possessed than tbe Indian, did none tbo less urge forward his horse by every means io bis power.
Tbe tremendous leaps, the furious bearing of

Here (seeing none, sbe once more rested her intelligent buuter kneeling on bis breast. putting aside the bushes with bis hand, he revealed । blue eyes upon tbe face of the trapper.
The latter was about to plunge his knife into, tbe dark opening to a subterranean passage, and
the throat of the struggling eavage, when he was startled from bis purpose by a loud yell that burst on bis ears—the war-whoop of savages resounded through the wood, and a dozen Indians appeared near the scene of combat.
Tbe savages came up, swinging their tomahawks over their heads, and certain death seemed to threaten the white man, when, striking a blow on tbe Indian’s head, which rendered him senseless for the moment, he seized the lifeless
than she was surprised to see something trotting before tbe trapper, which she, at Bret, mistook for a large dog, but was soon convinced that it was an animal of greater pretensions. Something resembling horns, which proved to be long ears, soon convinced her that tbe animal was neither more nor less than a email donkey.
Her first idea was that tbe ludians had taken Mink’s horse aud left the ass in his piece, but the trapper said, quickly,
“Beetle will pilot us to the Brigade. lie never comes till the coast is ciar; he bates a redskin worse than a natyve of old Kaintuck, aud won’t come whar they are. His fakilties m so quick that he can sniff a redskin Iwo mild off; be’ll never come whar thar’s one of them creiurs sly-ing round—be won’t, by thunder 1"
“ Then, whenever that donkey comes to you, it is a sign that tbe Indians are gone off!”
“A sign! Ob, Lord 1 no—it’s a fact, and no sign," said tbe trapper, positively.
“ That looks like human reason,” replied the girl, as she followed closely after Big Mink.
“ Sartain, gal! Hain’t yon altera heered that ‘that’s reason in all things!’ Consequiotly tbar’e reason in this donkey. He’s been long enough on the perairie to get his interlccts sharpened. He knows morc’n a redskin, and alters did. Come b’ar, Beetle I”
Thus summoned, tbe animal turned slowly and walked up to the trapper, where he stood as etill as if he had been carved out cl tbe solid granite, and appeared to be waiting for further orders.
“ Beetle, you see this gal. She’s one o’ the Brigade now. Make your manners, Beetle.”
Tbe ass walked up to tbe girl, aud scraping with one of his fore feet, beat hie bead toward tbe ground, then turned suddenly and trotted on before, as if ashamed of what he had dene, or as if he thought it beneath bis dignity to receive a new friend on compulsion.
“ I thought that Beetle was tbe name of a bug,” said tbe girl, as they came out upon tbe open prairie.
It’s the name of the man that owned tbe ani-mile and ’tended io its eddication,” returned tbe trapper, mournfully. “ He was pulled off that same donkey and skulped in sight of tbe animile. He can’t never b’ar a redskin sence, and runs off as soon as one o’ the mean skunks makes his ’pearance any whar near. It ’pears they’ve stole my boss, but they won’t keep bim long— ob, Lord! no.”
Tbe young girl looked behind her more than once as they left tbe woods, and Mink said,
“Don’t be skeery ’bout the redskins, strawberry, Ibar’s none of ’em left, 'tbout Beetle has been converted by tbe missiouers, and takes to bis inimies, but I don't bleeve be’ll ever practize bls Christian forgiveness toward the redskins.”
“No, it was not the Indians that I was thinking of,” returned tbe giri; etill keeping close/o her deliverer.
“ Not Indians, gal ? Mighty! wbat is't you’re ’feered of if not them red devils!”
“Ob, I don't like to speak of it. It’s so strange —it’s something that makes my blood run cold, and yeti can't tell the reason. It’s like the chill of death gathering around my heart.’’
“ Look here, gal I” cried Mink, resolutely, and looking sternly at the young girl; “ 1 hope you don’t go for to bein’ dub’ous about your present escort. If anything has frightened you I orter know all about it. P’raps it a rattlesnake : if ’tie, I’ll go back and compromise with bim,” aud Mink drew out bis hunting-knife and turned toward the wood.
“ No, no—hush 1 bush t” answered the girl, hastily; “ I don’t like to talk of it till we are farther off. It is an ugly thing—a strange shape, such as I never saw. It haunts me worse since I have passed it than it did when I saw it, though I tbougbt I should have swooned away when wo were near it.”
Mink roared with laughter.
“Some crooked slump that you saw iu the dark, gal—nothin’ else, by thunder I Fokes that’s skeery may see tbe shapes o’ seven devils in tbe timber if they arc so peuu’rous as to look arter ’em.”
" Very well—perhaps it was nothing but that,” replied the girl, obivering from bead to foot.
“ You’re skcered most tarrificaoious anyhow,” said Mink, ence more stopping end facing the wood ; “ what did it look like 1”
“Like nothing in this world,” replied the girl, clinging to the trapper’s hand, and trying to draw him forward; “ it was on a rock io the gloom between two trees. First, I thought it was a branch with an old blanket over it. But—but— I saw it stir—oh I God I I saw it stir, and thought that two green eyes like a cal’s were fixed upon me.”
Mink remained silent a moment, and then I sheathing bis long kfiife, walked slowly forward,
In this position they remained more than two hours, when it began to grow dark, and the girl was becoming uneasy.
“Now, my little rose-bud,’’ said the trapper, “if you’re not afeared o’ cold water, we’ll see if we can get out o’ this parlor, which ba’ not been furnished np to your fancy, I kalkerlale ; thar’s no cushions to these stone cheers, and the sofy hain’t been brought iu yeL”
So saying, the trapper moved to the farther end of the cavern, and stooping down where the wa-
bidding bis horse lie down, closed the bush over him in such a manner that he could not be found without a diligent search. .
Bo then led the girl into the dark passage, crawling forward about twenty feet, when, removing a large stone, they reached a rude grotto, rocky and uneven, but high enough for the trapper to stand upright in it. Through the center ran a shallow brook, the water finding its way thither by bidden passages among the rocks.

The pursuit was long continued, but, at length, the savages began to fall behind, and then it was that the wearied horse slackened hie speed.
The man rode up to a small clump of trees, dismounted, and laid his youthful charge upon a green bank.

“Don’t go for to bein’ frightened,” said he, “I aint a red-skin, but a human like yourself, and you looks at me as if I war wuss nor a Blackfoot.”
The young girl then pointed with her finger at the blood which was dropping from the chin of her rude companion.
Mink then knew the cause of her fear.
“ So it is,” said he, “ I thought it war sweat,

She looked around, and at every part of this subterranean chamber, as if studying its details, and interested at all sho saw in spile of the dangers with which she was threatened, and the strangeness of her situation.
The yell of the savages was heard without, and1 the trapper soon became aware that bis horse was discovered.
The trapper rose no, drew bis bunting knife, and placed himself near the spot where the dark passage opened into the rocky chamber. The girl watched him with evident apprehension. In a very few moments, tbe head of an Indian presented itself. Tbe fellow had crawled through the passage on his hands and knees, and was about to enter tbe chamber, doubtless followed by others. The hunter raised bis large knife, the Indian glared up at him and would have turned to retrace bis steps, but that was not so easy, as the passage was narrow. He would have gone out backward, but before he could do that, down came the knife like the blade of a guillotine, and the Indian's head rolled from the rocky ledge and fell into the brook at the bottom; the bead rolled over and over as the stream carried it out of sight beneath the ledges on the opposite side.
Stopped by tbe body of tbe dead Indian, his
The trapper stooped lower and lower till he was lying flat on the water. Be then squeezed himself under the rock with some difficulty, and was out of sight.
The girl obeyed the directions of the trapper, and was drawn under the rock dripping wet, into a dark passage too low to stand upright, and not more than two feet in width. Sho felt the rooky walls on both sides with her bands.
It seemed to her that, instead of getting out of the difficulty, she bad only changed her condition for the worse.
“Keep aastill as the North Star,” said the trapper, “whilst I reconnytre, for tbar may be a smart chance o’ redskins all round us, waiting for our skulps as soon as we show ’em the top o’ our heads.”
The trapper crept away from the girl a short distance, when she beard him pushing aside some bushes, and a faint light entered the passage at the same time.
In a moment, the man spoke,
“You may come out now, pink-bloom, that’s no redskins b’ar.”
The young girl scarcely felt re-assured by this prompt declaration, as it seemed that the trapper had not bad time to survey the precincts of the wood, and there might be at that moment a hundred Indians lying around the cave. But Mink was very confident, and the girl came timidly forth, glad to escape froimher sepulchral shelter.

The girl stopped, bewildered, and then with a bursting sigh, let fall a torrent of tears.
The sailor ftud tho trapper stood silently and respectfully regarding her.
The young girl continued to weep, aud, nt lengib, Mink inquired the cause of her grief.

THE TWO TIGERS.
A HU'NTEB'5 STORY.
EV WILLIAM Emit BINDER.
The second season I spent in Africa, I met with the following adventure, one ot the most thrilling in all my long and eventful experience.
Myself, and another hunter, named Arnold House, an Englishman, and several natives were suddenly set upon by the largest and fiercest tiger it has ever been my lot to encounter.

the next moment, he recollected himeclf.
“ Hah I it’s you, is it ?" said he. “ Well, well, how now ? time to be stirring, eh!”
“Lord! no! it's airly to travel,” returned Mink ; - but get up and 111 show you stars, the likes o’ which you never seed, I kalkcrlale.”
“Stare! stars! who talks of stars!” was the contemptuous reply j" I cau tell you all Choir names from Aldobaioa to Jupiter. Don't talk to roc about stars. I hope you tiain’t woke mo up to show me the stare.”
The trapper, at length, made the seaman understand that the stare of which he spoke were not in (he heavens, but on the earth.
He took the sailor up to the summit of the rock and directed his attention to the cluster of
lights on the plain before them.
Bobstay became much interested at once; he bent nearly double, thrusting iiis bead forward and peering earnestly into the darkness. Then, in a tone of affected carelessness,which contrasted

could.
The tiger was right In our path, facing us, and not fifty feet distant.
Our position was imminent, and would require all our nerve.
Suddenly the tiger started, and came bounding along with rapid strides. Instantly wc leveled our pieces, but the up-and-down motions of the animal nearly destroyed all our aim, and we only made out to wound the brute and render him still more ferocious.
Roaring with the pain the ugly beast came bounding on.
“That devil’s going to give us trouble!” whis-
pored my companion in deep and intense tones.
second tiger bad dashed off well in porbuit of me, I the first bad made mince meal of my lute companion, and. with a fierce cry started after roc, (also.
In a moment they were neck and neck in close pursuit of me, and, of course, I could tot run away from tbcm—could not long keep out of their fangs.
i II was Hie worst situafiou I was ever placed fa. 1 tried to load my rifle, but J could net, and at last I threw my weapon away in despair.
The monsteis gained upon roe fast, nnd in a little while were close behind me. Nothing was left me but to fight them with my knife, and there was little hope in that. My doom seemed settled.
I A few laoniei ts more and the swiftly-going ijioneteis had nearly run me down.
■•lieaven hare mercy on me!” 1 cried, “for my time has come now!”
I could hear the beasts tearing along not a dozen feet behind me. I could almost feel their hot breath, I thought.
Suddenly I slumbleci and fell, aud both ihe animals went bounding over me. Together we I all three sprang to our feel and faced each other.
The tigers simultaneously uttered a loud roar, and I grasped my bunting-knife with a grip of iron.
' My chances were not one in a thousand, bat it I was not hi me to yield without a struggle—a desperate struggle, too.
lu an instant the animalseiimiltaneoticly sprang at me. Suddenly stepping back a iiille, however, I managed to escape (boui. Growling with rage followed me up, and made every dlurt to tear me into piecetnimi. Madly, desperately, fiercely I fonglit iliein off, still backing away and keeping a little in fl'Oiit of my antagonists. The monsters lore roe considerably ; nnd though 1 wounded \ them net a little, particularly about their heads, I felt confident that I did not do them any fatal injury—was forced to admit that I bad but little chance of doing so.
Al last I made a furious lunge at one cf the monsters, and—dropped my knife.
1 uttered a cry of disappointment, and struck at the brutes willi my clenched fista. The animals came at me one on each side, Instiuetivcly I put out my arms to keep them back. The monstars seized me and tore me from the shoulders down. I shrieked with the pain, and dropped down upon my knees. Still I fought off Ilie animals, to the right and the left, but I could not shake them loose. I gave up to die, and cried, “God, have nierey on me!”
All Ibis, remember, occupied but a few moments. Such a struggle could not, of course, be of loug duration.
Suddenly I heard a shout, and Ihe barking of dogs. At the same moment, quick as a flash, a hunting party appeared in view right in front of me, and not a great way off—witbin the sound of my voice and reach of their rifles.
Tte moment t!:cy spied me, and realized my situation, theydaslied forward.
Mtanwbile I was having a terrible time with the tigers, as you may well imagine ; but never roan fought lor bis life as I did iben. I felt, however, that 1 must immediately be relieved or death would eud my sufieringe,
With my arms extended out each side of roc I managed to keep ihe animate a foot or two from my person tor a few short moments.
“Fire, tire! for God’s sake, fire!” I frantically cried, to the advancing hunters.
The men stopped, but still hesitated. I knew what troubled them. They were afraid of shooting me if they fired al the tigere.
“Fire, tire, for God’s sake, fire, or I shall he dead before you reach me I” I madly yelled.
Two of the party stepped forward a few paces, dropped on their knees, leveled their rifles point blank at the tigers, aud fired.
It wasa critical shot, under the circumstances, aud for a moment m^feeai't stood still.
The next instant the tigere uttered a simultaneous roar, and tumbled over in the agonies of death.
As they fell n loud bnzza burst from the lips of tny deliverers.
Then 1 knew uo more, for, overeomo by all I bad suffered, I fell over between the kicking tigers iu a state of uuconeciousuess.
It was a long time before I recovered my health and strength, though I was speedily re moved to a place where I bad the best of attend-

“Oue moment!” exclaimed Thrasher, desperately, “ Ellen speak to me alone. It may be my last request.”
Had she been alone I think tbe woman would have refused him—but with all those eyes turned upon her she could only step aside to one of those liltle Iwudolrs that his wealth had fitted up for her.
“ Well ?” she said, haughtily, turning upon him as he stood before her, pale and shrinking.
Ellen—Ellen, do not be so cruel to me, if I have sinned it was from the love that made me desperate. If I bare wronged you, think what I gave up for your sake—bow much I risked— how much I have endured.”
“ Well!” she repeated, growing bard and stern with each word, “ what more ?”

Her spirits were unusually brilliant that night; tbe scarlet of excitement burned on her cheeks; she seemed lifted out of heiself by ll;e success of Ibis unique entertainment.
This was tbe general opinion of her guests. They could account for tbe brilluiut beauty of her presence in no other way.
How could strangers guess at the qniverina fear that trembled at her heart if any unusual sound arose iu the crowd, which surrounded her with flattery and soft adulation ? How was it possible for thorn to know that the brilliant beauty of her face was lighted by the fever of anxiety ?

THE BIGGEST THING YET! ANOTHER GREAT STORY! BY THE AUTHOR OP “ZEKE JOHNSON.” With this number we commence la the
NEW YORK WEEKLY a Thrilling Story of Trapper Life, entitled, BIG MINK, THE TRIPPER; OR, THE DAUGHTER OF THE BRIGADE.
A TALE OF THE FAR WEST.
It was with much difficulty that we could persuade the Old Trapper to write ns another story, as bis habits of life have been such as to develops anything but love of a literary life, although he is full of talent as a writer. We accidently stumbled upon the old man, and,
। eminent of tbe New Confederacy, and the preven-| lion of civil war, are questions of great importance to Europe. "The prosperity of the New Confederation,” it says, “is intimately bound up with European interests in general and French interests iu particular.” Theo it further adds, tbat “the Southern Confederacy is, besides, destined to become a natural ally, capable, if need be, of giving to Europe, it circumstances should ever require it, a powerful aid iu exchange for a simple recognition, which will very probably suffice to keep tbe fanaticism of tbe North in check and preserve from almost certain destruction the Southern marts, which Europe could not do without just now.” There is no small amount of significance in these word? when we take into consideration the fact tbat Southern men are understood to have held consultation with Louis Napoleon on the probable steps that would be taken by him in case of a conflict between the North and the South, and the other fact that the news paper press of Paris, under censorship, is little else but an echo of tbe sentiments of tbe French government. The Pays further argues that tho Union has always been tho most prosperous io the bands of Southern men, and tbat all its weakness has come from Northern influence, till it is now going to pieces in the bands of Northern men. The article in the Pays concludes thus: “Let tbe independence of the South be recognized, that servile insurrection openly and boldly preached
THE INJURY SUSTAINED BY BUSINESS.
We have had panics aud commercial convulsions before, which have been more felt in New York than is tbe present crisis, for the reason that money, as good fortune would have it, as well as provisions, is now plenty. But probably at no time Las the convulsion been so universally felt. It has extended to every branch of bu-

estimated that the lots to the entire country cannot Lave been less than a thousand million dollars. Yet, if wc are to be precipitated into a civil war, our losses have but just begun; and, iu view of this fact, editors and senators talk as flippantly and unconcernedly of war as they would of an ordinary prize-fight. What a pity it Is that this class of individuals are not compelled to meet in the field and fight till they are al! exterminated. Why will the people allow such unprincipled and heartless demagogues to set them by the cars and make them murder ouch other for no good purpose whatever? The people are made but the tools and servants of men who deserve no better fate than hanging.

LT.
He accepted the proposition with some • spirations, and at her hoar, in her own good time,
hesitancy ; but when the first story was done he was positive that he would never write another, as the work was too confining and nn-manly, be thought. However, rest, and the want of something to engage his time and attention wrought a change in the old man’s mind; so that on oar showing him how popular *■ Zeke Johnson” was among the boys, we succeeded, by the aid of a pile of the “ needful,” in persuading him to try bis hand again. The first chapters ol his new story warrant us in sayiug that it is ahead of “Zeke Johnson.” His experience in writing the first is a great advantage to him in the production of the second. So do not fail to read
Big Mink, the Trapper;

It is a story you would be sorry to miss. Therefore send iu your orders immediately, and we will sec that you are not disappointed in the early receipt, weekly, of the Old Trapper's last and best effort.
with the assistance of Europe—tbat is to say, when the black shall be sufficiently advanced to understand tbat, free or slave, he owes it to himself and society to assist by his labor in the common weal—the South will herself commence the great work of enfranchisement. Nothing will then prevent it, for free labor will become less burdensome to the planter, at the same time tbat the entire of Europe will not find itself threaten, ed in the vital interests ctf its industrial relations, by the dearth of material which would now be the first and inevitable consequence of a servile war.” It is evident that Northern interests and feelings are not the only ones involved in this controversy, and it is to be hoped that the present administration will have too good sense to plunge us into a civil war in its attempts to carry out any coercive policy.
A NEW BANK WANTED.
There are not many people wbo have not at some time felt the imperious and impudent spirit of bank clerks and officials. That it is to the advantage of banking iuslitutioiis to have ill-natured aud overbearing men in charge of either tbe managerial or practical departments, wc never could see. Good nature, affability and a general spirit of accommodation would be much better recommendations in tbe eyes of the public—especially ia the minds of those doing business with the banks. A civil answer is always in order. and it ia wbat every one has a right to expect ; but it is not what one always gets at a bank. A refusal to accommodate, or even to impart information that it is deemed best not to give, could be done iu a manner not to give offense to any one—for nobody would expect a departure from fixed rules and regulations. But so far from being civil on doubtful or objectionable points, bank employees often manage to be disagreeable and insulting where there is not tbe least excuse in the world for it.
would be three years before they would see each other again—Mr. St. Cloud having promised to spend a week with Mr. Orville at that time, when oo bis way to America.
Mr. St. Cloud, with bis family, spent the winter iu Paris, and the following summer found them iu a. romantic valley at the foot of the Alps. Their home was a neat cottage in a quiet, lovely spot near the shore of a beautiful lake, and Madeline, loving to stroll upon its shores, often speut hours there, accompanied by her parents or nurse. She had grown iu loveliness, and though far from perfect, being wilful sometimes like most children, yet strangers seldom saw her without being attracted by her winsome ways, and wishing to know more of her.
Clear and mild the day was passing away— softly floated the evening breeze over the valley, perfumed with the fragrance of dew-gemmed flowers. Mr. and Mrs. St, Cloud were sitting in front of their cottage admiring the grand and beautiful scenery around them, which dim twilight ere long would hide from view, while their eyes alternately rested upou the green shores of the calm lake, and the lofty Alps crowned with eternal snow. They bad been speaking of their child, sho bad gone to the lake with her nurse, so thought the food parents, and they were then listening for tho
from him the chain and seal. She bad not always lived with the gipsies, she said in answer to bis questions, sbe once had another home far away, but her name was only Madeline there, and when be asked If it was Madeline St. Cloud, the light of an intense smile shone in her eye, and she exclaimed,
“Yes, that was it; now I remember. Who are you; and won’t you take me to that ether home?'’
It was Mr. Orville ; and as he led her toward tho carriage be spoke of the days spent on shipboard. saying, her parents and himself bad long mourned her as one dead, for they believed sbe was forever lost to them ; and now that she was fouud be would take her to that other home across the ocean, which she so dimly remembered. At Paris they stopped for a day, and Mr. Orville, while glancing over the Het of late arrivals, read the name of St Cloud. He sought an interview, and ere another Lour bad* fled, Madeline was clasped to the heart of her fond mother.
The parents were on their way to Switzerland, in hope that they might hear some tidings of their lost child. Bat now their search was ended —the lost child was restored; and with hearts filled with gratitude to ibe Giver of ail good, they hastened homeward. And cnee more merry laughter and happy voices were heaid in their pleasant home.

MASON AND DIXON’S UNE, The survey that established the dividing line between Maryland and Pennsylvania, was made between the years 1763 and 1767 by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, in longitude 40 degrees north. Il was then the dividing line between Virginia and New England, but the fact that it separated the grant to Lord Baltimore from that to William Penn, fixed it as the division between Pennsylvania and Maryland. The original survey was extended due east and west, over one degree of longitude, to an Indian war-path at the west end, beyond which the red men refused to let them proceed. The stone on the northeast corner of Maryland having been removed at a subsequent date, the old survey was revised in 1849, by commissioners appointed by the States of Maryland and Pennsylvania. This survey resulted in giving Maryland two acres, lacking one-eigbtb,
more laud than she had under the old survey.

now in -a bad way financially. Royalty and troops, and the present attitude of Russia in the
political power generally stand on a credit basis with a rotten foundation crumbling away. Says a correspondent: “ It is found that sovereigns, sultans, kings, and emperors can go ahead too fast, and find themselves over-trading as well as private persons. Then when the crash comes it carries all down together. Francis II. was one of these reckless speculators. He overtraded in the matter of reputation. Ue broke bis promises, falsified all bis accounts and played the Jeremy Diddler so extensively that he was obliged, first, to mortgage his crown, then allow his effects to be seized and his entire estate sold to satisfy his creditors. He of course went into the gazette and got exiled and outlawed. The poor Sultan, Abdul Mejid, has been overtrading; has a most extravagant family, and very dishonest servants, and bis credit has now become so had that few or none will trust him, and as he lives far beyond his income, is frightfully in debt, and creditors are clamorous, it is expected that the sheriff must soon step

This was from an Americao-boru citizen, who did not, however, consider himself one of the people, but one of the shrewd few who could take advantage of tbe machinery of a despotism and find great pleasure in compelling God’s creatures to serve him. We did not endorse his sentiment, by any means. We are Jeffersonian enough to believe in inalienable rights which are inconsistent with all kinds of despotism and tyranny.

EUROPEAN RECOGNITION OF THE SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.
We see it stated tbat tho Foreign Ministers at Washington are unanimously of opinion tbat no European power will recognize the Southern Confederacy until the independence of the seceding States is fully admitted by the United States Government. There are many things, however, which indicate that foreign powers will not long hesitate to recognize the new government, whether the Northern States recognize it or not. European capitalists are now busy establishing lines of commerce with tbe South, with the view to a direct and lucrative trade. This one fact signifies more than the npinions of ministers, for European governments are not in tbe babit of refusing protection to their commercial citizens wherever they may go, Thoir movements are always indexes to the feeling at home.

A RAILROAD IN BROADWAY.
There appears to be a pretty warm time in Albany in reference to the subject of a railroad in Broadway. The struggle is a tough one, and the advocates and opponents of the measure are about equally sanguine. For our own part, wc should like to see a railroad in Broadway, and all the lumbering, tortuous and uncertain stages banished from it. The cars, however, should be propelled by dumb engines, instead of horses, and should be more commodious and airy than any now running on the city railroads. Properly managed, a rail track would be a great relief to Broadway.
ABOVE AND BELOW GROUND.
Railroad speculators appear to be as numerous and active in London as in New York. No less than nine companies have lately applied for grants in London, seven of the roads to be tunnels, and the other two viaducts. The coat will be enormous. Here, wo are content to skim along on ' the surface, in as cheap a manner as possible.; and since life is short, we do not know hut ours is the best plan. It certainly affords a better prospect to the eye (if it Isn’t full of dust), whatever other advantages it may lose us. This is a superficial world anyhow ; and what is the use of digging for what can be got without?
The clock of the tongue should be set bythe dial of the heart.

Drying her tears, Nina, in her peculiar way, related bow
“Arthur wouldn’t believe it was scratched out; Richard couldn’t do such a thing, he said; nobody could do it, but a divorce, or some such name, and Arthur wouldn’t submit to that He loves me better than he used to do,” sbe said; “aud he talked a heap about how he’d fix up Sunny Bank, so I’d like to live there. Then he asked me how I liked the nameof Nina St. Claire. I hate it!” and the blue eyes flashed as Edith bad never seen them flash before. “I won't be his wife! I’d forgotten all what it was that happened that night until he told it to yon in the woods. Then it came back to me, and I remembered how we weut to Richard, because he was most blind, and did not often come to Geneva. That was Sarah Warren’s plan, I believe, but my head bas ached and whirled so since that I most forget. Only this I know, nothing over came of it; and over the sea I loved Charlie Hudson, and didn’t love Arthur. He didn’t me cither; but. Higgle, he's been so good to me, so like my mother. He’s held me in bis arms a heap of nights when the fire was in my brain ; and once, Miggie, be held me so long, and 1 tore so awfully, that he fainted, and Dr. Griswold cried, and said, 'Poor Arthur; poor boy 1’ That’s when I bit him I— bit Arthur, Miggie, right on his arm, because be wouldn’t let me pull bis hair. Dr. Griswold shook me mighty bard, but Arthur never said a word. He only looked at me so sorry, so grieved like, that 1 came out of my tantrum, and kissed tho place. I’ve kissed it ever to many times since then, and Artnur knows I’m sorry. I ain’t a fit wife for him. I don’t blame bim for wanting you. I can’t see the wrong, but it’s because I’m so thick-headed, I suppose! I wish I wasn’t!” And fixing her gaze upon the wiudow 'opposite, Nina seemed to be living over the past, and trying to arrange the events of her life in some clear, tangible form.
Gradually as sbe talked Edith bad softened toward Arthur—poor Arthur, wbo had borne so much. She might, perhaps, forgive him, but to forget was impossible. Sbe bad suffered too much at his bands for that, aud uttering a faint moan as she thought how all her hopes of happiness were blasted, she turned on ber pillow just as Nina, coming out of ber abstracted fit, said to her,

There was no smoke curling from tbe chimneys, no friendly door opened wide, no sweet youog face peering from tbe iron lattice of tbe Den, no Arthur, no Nina there. Nothing but piles of euow upon the roof, enow upon tho window sills, snow upon the door-steps, enow upon the untrodden walk, enow on tbe leafless el me, standing there so bleak and browu. Snow everywhere, ae cold, as desolate as Edith’s heart, and ehe bade Victor take her back again to the warm grate where sbe might perhaps forget bow gloomy, and sad, and silent, was Grassy Spring.
“Did I say anything when I was delirious— anything I ought not to have said ?” sbe suddenly asked of Grace; and Victor, as if she had questioned bim, answered quickly,
“Nothing, nothing—all ie safe.”
Like a flash of lightning, Grace Atherton’s eyes turned upon bim, while be, guessing her suspicions, returned ber glance with one as strangely inquisitive as ber own.
“Mon Dieu! I verily believe she knows,” he muttered, as he left the room, and repairing to bis own, dived to the bottom of bis trunk, to make sure that he still held in bis possession the paper on which it bad been “scratched out.”

I Alas, for poor human nature. Wby did Edith’s heart throb so painfully, as she thought of Nina cured, and'taken, perhaps, to Arthur’s bosom as his wife. Sbe knew she could not be that wife, and only half an hour before she had said witbin

in them tbe clear light of reason. Edith was C0Dfcj0ns of a strong unwillingness to yield to

’ ig a glow of gratified vanity as he thought bow that last dose of medicine, given as an experiment, and about which be bad been so doubtful, bad really saved ber life. She would have died without it, he knew, just as Mis. Matson, who inclined to homoeopathic principles, knew her patient would have died if she had not slily thrown it in the Are, substituting in its stead sweetened water and pills of bread. Tbe old man, ignoring drugs of all kinds, whether done up in papers or iu little glass bottles, was sure bis prayers bad saved her, pointing to the wnrn-out knees of his pantaloons as proofs that he, at least, bad dono his duty in that respect,
Victor and Nina, too, had their theory witb regard to Ibe real cause of Edith’s convalescence, but each kept bis own counsel, Victor saying to Richard when questioned as to whether he had read the paper or not,
“No, Miss Nina keeps it clutched tightly in her baud, as ii suspecting my design.”
In tbe course of the day, however, Nina relaxed her vigilance, aud Victor, who was sent up stairs with wood, saw the Important document lying upon the hearth rog, where Nina had un-
another the love lost to her forever, and covering her head with the sheet, sbe wept to think bow desolate her life would be when she knew that for away, in the laud of flowers, Arthur was learning to forget her, and bestowing his affection upon restored, rational Nina.
“ Wby do you cry!” asked Nina, whose quick ear detected the stifled sobs. “ Is it because we are going! I told bim you would, when he bade me come and ask if you would see bim before be goes.”
“Did he—did he send me that message!” and the Editb, wbo wouldn’t for the world meet Arthur St. Claire again, uncovered ber face eagerly. “ Tell bim to come to-morrow nt ten o’clock. I am the strongest then; and Nina, will you care if I ask you to stay away? I’d rather see bim alone.”
Edith's voice faltered as she made this request, but Nina received it in perfect good faith, answering that sbe would remain at home.
“ I must go now.” she added. “ He’s wailing for me, and I do so hope you’ll coax bim to stay here. I hate old Florida.”
Editb, however, felt that it was belter for them consciously dropped it both to PM{' She bad caught a glimpse of her

Edith meant to be very cold, but her voice was choked as sbe replied,
“I can forgive you, Arthur, but to forget is harder far. And still even that might be possible were I the only one whom you thought to wrong. Nina—my precious Nina—dear to me as a darling sister; how could you pro’e so faithices to your marriage vow ?”
“Edith,” and Arthur epoke almost sternly. “You would not have me live with Nina as sbe is aow.”
“No, no,” she moaned, “not as she ie now, but years ago. Wby didn't you acknowledge ber as your wife, making the best of your misfortunePeople would have pitied you so much, and I— oh, Arthur, the world would not then have been so dark, so dreary for me. Wby did you deceive me, Arthur! It makes my heart acbe so bard.”
“Ob, Editb, Editb, you drive me mud,” and Arthur took in bis the hand which all the time bod unconsciously been creeping toward him. “I was a boy, a mere boy, aud Nina was a little girl. We thought it v^ould be romantic, and were greatly influenced by Nina’s room-mate, who planned the n hole affair. I told you once how Nina wept, pleading with her father to let ber stay in Geneva, but I have not told you tl-at sbe hogged of me to tell bim all, while I unhesitatingly refused. I kuew expulsion from College would surely be the result, and I was far too ambitious to submit to this degradation when it could be avoided. You know of the gradual change in our feelings for each other, know what followed her coming home, and you can perhaps understand how I grew so morbidly sensitive to anything concerning ber, and so desirous to conceal my marriage from every one. This, of course, prompted me to keep her existence a secret as long ac possible, and, iu my efforts to do so, I can see now that I oftentimes acted the part of a fool. If E could live over the past again I would proclaim from the housetops that Nina was my wife. I love ber witb a different love since 1 told yoa all. She is growing fast into my heartland 1 have hopes that a sight of her old borne, together with the effects of tier native air, will do her good.

। doubled violence, bringing ber a second time so | near the gates of death that Arthur St. Claire dc! furred bls departure for several days, and Nina became again tbe nurse of the sick room. But all in vain were her soft caresses and words of love. Editb was unconscious of everything, and did not even know when Nina’s farewell kiss was pressed upon ber lips and Niua's gentle bands smoothed her hair for tbe last time.

Just across the hall, in a chamber darkened as hers had been, be was lying now, worn out with constant anxiety and watching. When Nina left, bis prop was gone, and the fever which had lain in wait for bim so long, kindled within his veins a lire like to that which had burned in Edith’s,
frequently did. It narrowed the wide gult ot
twenty-one years between them, bringing bim nearer to her, so near, in fact, that bridal vails and orange wreaths now formed a prominent part of Richard’s dreams, while a maiden of rare
loveliness walked ever at his side, clothed in
I loveliness wai garments such half millinn nn
as the mistress of Collingwood’s
half million ought to wear, and this maiden was
Edith—the Edith who, on her nineteenth birthday, sat in her own chamber devising a thousand different ways of commencing a conversation which she meant to have with ber guardian, the subject of said conversation being no leas a personage than Grace Atherton. Accidentally Edith had learued that not tbjBwcdisb baby’s mother,
absence had healed the wound.
“ I will be very cold and indifferent to-morrow,” she said to herself, when after Nina’s departure, she lay, anticipating the dreaded meeting and working herself up to such a pitch of excitement that the physician declared her symptoms worse,

The doctor’s word was law at Collingwood, and
among them. As Nina cared for nothing save to with sinking spirits Edith heard Richard in the
ment rounder, blacker, brighter, but bad in them, aloe, no expression of joy; aud when in answer to ber appeal Arthur said,
“Possibly I shall deem it best to make her my wife,” ehe fell back upon her pillow, uttering a moaning cry, which to tbe startled Arthur sounded like,
“No, no 1 no, no I not your wife.”
when she was first suffered to sit up and asked wby Richard did not come to ebare her happiness, for in spite of- one’s mental state, tbe first feeling of returning health is one of joy. Edith felt it as such even though her heart was so sore that every beat was painful. Sbe longed to ' speak ot Grassy Spring, but would not trust ber-' self until Victor, reading her feelings aright, said
“Edith,” and rising to bis feet Arthur stood to her with an assumed indifference, “ Mr St.

But the desired change did not come. She grew more Inui and bo more* anxious. She seemed to enjoy much driving along tho beach, supported by her lather’s arm, and talking with hiiu of her dead mother and of Heaven.

Aud,witb the thought that, let his soul demand her as it would, let his heart long for her to bursting, be could not break down this barrier of sisterly love, which long years had raised between them, the paia grow deeper and more piercing.
Meanwhile tho following little comedy was enacted below.
Scene.—An apartment shaded by twilight; but in the gloaming may be discerned draperies, mir-rots, paintings, statues, sofas, ottomans, and tho various etceteras of a very pretty drawing-room.
Dramatic Persmuc.—Sasio Lee pacing to and fro,gazing from tho window, lookingat her watch repeatedly, ordering more coal, directing that dinner should be kept quite warm, and manifesting divers signs of impatience.
“Why don’t papa come ? IMs half an hoar past dinner time.”
At that moment the bell lang. She rushed into the entry, and could see, by the gleam from the drawing-room fire, Gretchen admitting her papa.
“Papa, love! how late! Gretchen light the gas. Are you most frozen, papa? Perhaps you would like something invigorating? Then bow your proud head.” She commenced kissing him heartily, but was arrested by coming in contact, with something far different from papa’s smooth face, guiltless of moustache or whiskers.
“Why, Herbert, I thought you were up iu the ‘Eyrie.’ What an old cheat you are, obtaining goods under false pretences.”
A smothered laugh was the ouly answer. Her suspicions were aroused again.
“Wait a moment, and I will see what all this masquerading menus.”
At that moment the gas flared, aud Sasie saw gazing down into hers, a very laughing pair (if eyes, set iu a very handsome face, decidedly not belonging to her father or Herbert, or any one else she bad ever known; and Gretchen au-ooimced,
“Der gentleman vill mein Herr Vilson sehen.”
Had Susio indulged in the habit, she would have flung au oath at Gretchen’s German phlegm; and, as it was, her liking for Dish volatility, contrary 10 all preconceived notions, shot up several

better put in bin oar and give events a turn.

The gentleman enjoyed her embarrassment a moment, aud then laughed heartily, aud said,
“It was a most happy mistake; a perfest tonne toueto; quite the most delightful reception he bad ever experienced ; and begged she ttould not regret giving a Irieudlcte old bachelor a foretaste of elyeiam.”
Susie, who was never awkward five minutes together in her life, carried the ma tier off». ilb Bitch ease and grace, that the said old bachelor, whom Herbert introduced as Mr. Ihigii.wasquite charmed, accepted the invitation of Dr. Lee (who was finally forthcoming) to remain todiuncr; and upon leaving, expreescil the opinion to Herbert,
“Tinit he had never mat so interesting, so elegant, sopjquant a young Truly as Miss Lee.’’
Susie, on the ut ter ban<lr professed herself _ “Quite delighted with Herbert's tncnd-'spolieb, information,- and co... teonsuers.”
It appears the sentiments of neither party nn-derweut any essential change, for after a little, Susio became the recipient of Mr. Hugh’s calls, vice Mr. Wilson, which were very, numerous and nt all hours. He came to bring her a book, or a bouquet, to practice some song with her; to take her to see some painting, or for a drire ; and upon a variety of other pretences; and finally came without any pretences whatever ; and appeared to find more and more pleasure.
Now there is a metaphysical hw, pertaining to the weaker sox, of which Mr. Wilson, learned as

“No, Herbert, no, tbat is not what they say at all. They say, ■ We have come to cemlort and gladden you. We have come to speak to you of beauty, peace and love, little buds aud blossoms tbat wo are.’ ”
“Take them away, then. Carry them to Pbilip Hugh. There is no response iu my heart to their incantation.”
“ I do not think yon ate very polite, thus to thrust aside my flowers. Neither do I think I trouble you so ofteu with my presence that yon need ask me to go now.”
“ Since you come so seldom, it is to be inferred tl^ Ihiug gives you no pleasure. Therefore I will not detain you.”
So for from leaving the room, abe drew forth an easy chair, arranged a footstool to her likiug, and seated herself oom fort ably, her look saying as plainly as words could do,
"Your gcaoiousness aud civility are not extreme, certainly; but I do not leave this room until I know wbat all this ado is about.” And a very pretty picture she made too, us she sat gazing so iutently at Herbert, her soft curls laying against the crimson cushion, her face lighted witb an expression at once resolute aud full of kindness, her bands clasped together, aud denot-iug the same fixed purpose; her morning dress failiog apart aud displaying a skirt witb clusters of tiny tucks, and a littlo rosetted slipper peeping forth from bcuoalb. The day had beeu when it would have made Herbert Wilson quite happy , to have Ibis picture before him, but now he gave i - , . , , - -

A TWILIGHT WOOING.
BY LUCY A RANDALL —(Helm Forest Gravw )
It’s an awful thing to lose a friend by marriage I To see him drop into your rooms occasionally, always with a white paper parcel under bis arm, suggestive o! Ince and ribbons, instead of having bim all to yourself, day in and day out. To know that the blue-hreatlwd evening cigar will inevitably be abbreviated by “ Ob, my wife will be anxious, if I’m not home by eight o’clock.” To tell bim about tbe pretty girl with tbe pink bonnet that you met in the stage yesterday, and be generally confidential, and then find your tongue aud-deal? palsied by tbe conviction that be will tell-bis wife every word yen have been saying. There’s no use talking about tbe thing—it’s actually indescribable.
Do you suppose I didn’t feel jealous when Jack Marclyffe got married ? do you suppose tbe greeneyed monster didn't inspire me with all sorts ol uaamiable feelings toward tbe little brown-eyed beauty who had cut me out so completely? It took some time to reconcile me to the new state of things. But when I found out that she didn't object to my sitting on the balcony, and smoking with Jack—nay, that she actually lighted our cigars for us, and then brought her little foot-stool, and sat down beside us—that she laughed like a peal of merry bells at my bachelor chances and mishaps—and that she liked to have me come to dinner Sundays. Then I thought Jack’s wife wasn’t so bad au institution after all. Aad one day, when sho brought out ber tiny wicker workbasket, aud stood on tip-toe to sew tbe loose button upon my coat, I capitulated in good earnest.
“Jack,” said I, “your wife is—well not exactly an angel, for I don't believe in angels about the house—but tbe sweetest little loomun I ever set my eyes upon. You won’t be iealous, old fellow ?"
“Jealous—no I” said Jack, stretching bis neck so as to look after tbe light disappearing figure. “ But 1’11 tell you wbat, Arthur—you ought to
because my heart Ebriuks so, io dread, from tbe one little word—Nol Will sbe speak it, do you think?”
There was no answer, still.
“ Mary, will sbe break my heart”'
I spoke with trembling accents, fresh from the deepest recesses ol my soul—the very air seemed to sobarouud me as I ceased. One instant cl silence, in the soft, pulsing fragrance of the midsummer twilight, and then there was a flutter of light, azure robes, the fall of a fairy footstep. Ere I could look up, a soft, white arm, gleaming with the clasp of a blood-rod coral bracelet, was round my neck—a shower of browu curls nestled on my breast I
“Sbe will not—she never will!”
Tbe voice was that of Agnes Day I I held the coy, coquettish trembler to my heart!
Life bae been brimming with sweets ever since—many a golden moment has paused to sprinkle its chalice of joy around my footsteps, as it passed into tbe world of the by-gone; but, in all my existence, there never came a second time like that!
I bad been pleading to Agnes borself; and Mary stood smiling in tbe back-ground, tbe veri-1 est spice of roguery gleaming in her hazel eyes, through a dim quiver of joyous tears!
“So Fm really to have a brother-in-law'" sbe said, putting aside the rosesand coming forward just as the wicket fastcuiug clicked tinder Jack’s band, and tbe fiery spark of his cigar glowed tbrough the purple gloaming, slowly traveling up tbe garden walk.
“flallo I” said he, pausing abruptly, as Agnes tried vainly to escape from my detaining arm. “Ob, 1 see, uow I Well—upon—my—word—for such a bashful young gentleman, you’ve been remarkably expeditious I Accept of my congratulations, Aggie! ditto, Arthur. I only bops you will never regret this evening’s work.”
We never have regretted It. It you doubt my word, ask Mra. Arthur Arden.

My father an., mother, and a hired man and woman all ran In dishabille to tbe scene of disaster.

“ Guess I may as well question that individool a few,” soliloquized Wetzel; “ maybe she can throw a little light on tbe subject which is at present disturbin' tbe cquilabrabatn of my brains,” aud slipping up behind the tree be reached around, laying one band over ber mouth and with tbe other seizing her firmly by the arm, thus addressed her:

“ The English is my native tongue : roy name, Isabel Hardiug. I was taken prisoner by tbe Indians and adopted into tbe tribe six years ago.”
“Bars and catamouuts! be you Belle Harding? I kinder guess (here will be some rejoicing in the settlement when I have the honor of restorin’ you to your parents, safe aud sound.”
“Ob, Mr. Wetzel, I'm so glad you have come. But wbat in the world brought you out here ?”
“Them legs, and nothin’ shorter; but if you’re alter wbat I came for, I’ll tell you. I come to get a young woman that the infernal redskins captured from the settlement a few days ago.”
After considerable discussion, during which Fox joined them, it was finally determined that Isabel should return to tbe village as though nothing bad happened, and when it was dark, release tbe captive, aud join Wetzel and Fox at the oak tree. Isabel accomplished her mission without any trouble; aud on tbe evening of tbo fourth day following, tbe four arrived in Boones-borougb.
Wasn’t there rejoicing there that night? The residences of tbe returned captives were thronged with visitors until past midnight.
Six months later, Boonesborough bad undergone various changes. Mrs. Harding had recovered ber health and spirits; and a double wedding was on band. Two of tbe actors in this important "scene from life,” were George and Alice. The others were Frank Stephens, who was generally pronounced “one of the finest young men in tbe settlement,” and ’Bella Hardiug; and their children still live.

Wa fear tbe lady is a coquette, and

Sure enough,about two weeks afterward, as 1 came iu at tbe sweet-brier shadowed gate, and paused to look at tbe crimson clove-pinks just opening tbeir fringed petals, tbe silver tones of another voic, sounded in the iow-eaved piazza, and almost before I kuew it, Jack Marclyffe's arm was through mine, and be was introducing me to a duplicate edition ol bis wife—a scarletlipped. arch-eyed girl in white muslin, with a coral bracelet on ber arm!
From Ibat moment 1 was gone—I didn’t know whether I sal in Jack’s velvet easy chair, or on the top rail of tbe fence—I said “ No, I thank you,” when Mrs. Jack asked me how 1 was—I stirred my cup of chocolate with a pen-knife, and tried to put the table-cloth into my pocket instead of a handkerchief— and finally disgraced myself irrevocably by putting the match-box into the cradle and depositing tbe baby on the marble mantel-piece!
“Good gracious, Mr. Arden exclaimed Mrs. Marclyffe, “wbat u the matter?”
“1 Wi»re—’ tbiak—Tn gid ac^d in my bead 1”faltered I, lookingall the time straight at Agnes, who was playing with her coral bracelet and pretending not to laugb.
“Jack,” eaid I, Ibat evening, as he went out to tbe gate with me, “ there’s no use trying to mluce matters—if I can’t win Miss Agnes I shall take arsenic 1”
Jack squeezed my band ; he’d “ been through the mill” bimself.
“ Do you think she cares for me,’ Joek I asked, plain lively, about a month afterward. " I declare, honestly, I’ve the greatest mind in the world to jump off tbe pier, or to bang myself, peaceably. Now what dqesehe mean by flirting with that great red-whiskered Carew ? Ob, Jack, do bs merciful—tell me wbat you rMlJjj think ?”
Poor Marclyffe I it was about tbe thirtieth time I bad asked bim tbe same question.
“Why, how can I tell, Arthur? You might as well ask me to read tbe Hindoo alphabet as to decipher tbe mysteries of a woman’s heart. Why don’t you aek ber yourself?”
“ Ms ask ber t” and tbe cold chills ran through me like veins of ice. “ Jack, I dure not, for my
think tbe latter is greatest.'''"
“ No doubt, no doubt.; you girls, of course, aro for striking up matches for life; but I must say tbe other kind are necessary, too. On several occasions I should have been very glad to have bad a friction match.”

“ When I was fourteen years of age, and your mother, my only sister was a little Jive-year old;
