hoped. And then came a deeper, and moreimportant plan. I had a child whose futurewelfare was ray most anxious study. ; She musthavecompauionship; and early companionshipdoes . much towards shapxg human destiny.She. would soon fi&d associates in the oppositesex..,.

X brought you here, Oliver; and when Ifound how firm yoa were in troth ; how stern

duty; and bow mild and gentle in disposi-tion, I hoped tbat you might live oo to man-

hood, and tbat, at the proper time, I mightplace my child in your keeping that she mightbe yours to love and honor yonis to guardand protect yours forever ! ' She loves you,Oliver she. has Joved you for a long time.She wonld unhappy if yoa were to goaway; and, should you stay away, one of tbebrightest hopes of my life would be wrestedfrom me 4 What say you now?' .

The youth caught his employer by the hand,bat be could only say" . ' ;

God bless you V " ! 'j

'

V.And that was enough. '

From that hour the old joy, came hack toOliver's face, and he was happy as man can beHe held Emily to his bosom, and told his love;and when Bhe smiled the happy answer, theywept together for pure joy. .. j ;.

And yet time passed on.;. Oliver Hudsonbecame the partner of Klisha Rushton in bu

siness, and when he bad seen the full bloom ofmanhood he led Emily to the altar, and.be.came the husband of one of the; fairest andnoblest daughters of the city. His aged moth-

er was present at the nuptials; and as she gazed npon her boy she felt tbat in the pride andjoy of the present moment she was more thanrepaid tor all her care and anxiety in the past.

Oliver had looked for his bid friend, AlbertRyder, but he could not find ' him. He hadleft Mr. Buxton's store, and they knew not

'where he had gone. -- .!' i i

,1 Time rolled on, and Oliver became a father.One day as he was coming up from a ship, thecargo of wtiieh belonged to him, he saw a poor,bloated, ragged . outcast lying - under someboards on the pier. He stopped and gazedinto that face. Could it be possible? Yes.It was Albert Ryder I f ' ' ' "''

Oliver spoke to bim, but he was senseless.Then he went back to the ship, and called nptwo of the men, and bad them carry the sense-less form to the nearest place of refuge. Herebe engaged a nurse, and provided for all tbepoor man's. wants,. and left a note for Albert,in which he stated that if he would try to helphim-el- f, he should be saved.

At the end of a month, Albert Ryder tookhis place in Oliver's store. He was thin, paleand weak; and his frame trembled; and butfor the stern kindness, and mild promptness ofhis true friend, he would have fallen backBut he conquered the enemy at last. He

a man once mere, though not tbe happy.joybns man he might have been. " Hia youthwas gone, and nil its memories were sad andbitter. He was a man, indeed, but, alas 1

there were- traces of tbe wreck which couldnot be effaced. Away in the old qniet churchyard of his native village there was a grave,o'er which the tall grass of a twelvemonth hadwaved. Sib mother's mouldering form laythere I Her gray hairs bad been broughtdown in sorrow to the narrow house of 'clay,and the prodigal knew that he was guilty 1

- Oh I had it not been for that, he mighthave been happier. But he sought the balmof a contrite heart, and asked God to forgivehim. He performed his duties well, and was

a faithfal clerk and salesman.' He regardedhis employer his companion in youth bissaviour now with feelings' of deepest rever-

ence and love. ; He emulated Oliver's virtues,and strove to repay him for all his kindness;but Oliver's happiness be could not reachThat was based upon the sore foundationwhich he had neglected the foundation whichcould not now be erected npon memories snchas burdened his sonl.; ' ,: ' ' '

Alas T he said, as he sat one evening inOlivers pleasant parlor, and held O iver's eldest boy in his lap, ' how few of onr youthsrealize that one great truth of city life: Ah

When fin the Fejee Island coast. Com.Wilkes, of tbe Exploring Expedition, fell inwith an 'intelligent savage,' from whom belearned that but a short time before a vessel!had come ashore in a storm, and all the crewhad fallen into the hands of the islanders.

And what did yoa do with them?' askedWilkes, anxiously.

Killed 'em all,' answered the savages.What did yoa do with them after you had

killed them?'..1 Eeat 'em good,' returned the anthropo-phago- s,

grinning at the memory of the horrible feast. ...... , ;. .., :

' Did yoa eat them all?' asked the Commodore, feeling exceedingly unwell.

'

Yes. we eat all but one.''And why didn't yon eat him?' asked the

explorer, whose cariosity got the better of hishorror.

Cos he taste too much like tobacci. Could-

n't eat him nohow.'

'Sal,' said one girl to another,"' I am soglad I have no beau now.'

The object of Lova-- : r- - ', ,

In a renned and exalted nature, it is veryseldom ' that the feeling of love, when oncethoroughly aroused, bears any sort of relationto the reality of the object. It is commonlyan enkindling of the whole power of the soul'slove for whatever Bhe considers' highest andfairest ; it is, in fact, the love of somethingdivine and unearthly, which, by a sort of illu

Disenchantmentmust come, of coarse ; and in a love , whichterminates in happy marriage, there is a tender and graciou8proce88,by which, withoutshock or violence, the ideal is gradually sunkin the real, which, though' found faulty' andunearthly, is still ever tenderly remembered asit seemed under the morning light of that en-

Oliver watched his misguided friend until hehad passed from" Bight, and then with a sadheart, he tamed towards his own peacefulhome. 1

gan to grow unhappy: He had been advanced from post to post, n'ntil he was now ' headbook keeper, with a salary of three thousanddollars per annum. Mr. Rashton noticed theypung man's dejected manner, but for awhilehe said nothing. ' Emily had noticed it, too ;

and she asked him why he was so sad andthoughtful. "He put her off many times, bntat length she was 'determined to be put off nomore; ' She found Oliver alone one eveningin tbe parlorand she went to bis side and placed her arm about his neck. , .'t ,'

' Oliver,' she said, in a low, earnest tone, 'tellme what it is tbat has affected yoa so.' ! Yoahave lost some near friend some one whomyou loved well. . Come I will' sympathizewith you. Trust your secret to my keeping.'

You sympathize . ' cried the youth, starting np from his seat, and gazing almost wild-

ly upon the lovely girl. ' You youEmily Rushton ! Oh ? yoa know not my '

He struggled a moment the tears burstfrom his eyes he caught the hand that glideddown hia arm, and pressed it to his lips. Andthen with a deep groan, he harried from theroom 1 ' Emily gazed after him in astonishment; but gradually the light broke in nponher, and with a sudden tremor she sank downupon the seat he had left.

The maiden called to mind a hundred littlewords and actions of the past she reflectedupon the scene which had just transpired--

and then she bowed her head, and bright dropstrickled down the long silken lashes and fell

upon her bosom." " " '

Her father found her thus. He wound hisarm about her, and asked her why she wept.

'I have discovered Oliver's secret!' she said.' Bat he knows it not.' .

; The wealthy merchant took his young bookkeeper by the hand and gazed into hia face.

Oliver ' he said, with a look and tone offirm purpose, ' I wish to know why yon are sochanged. Tell me, sir. "If you have one feeling of respect for me left, I wish yoa to tellme.' .

awhile, and finally he answered in a spasmodic,broken tone '

' I will tell you, sir ; but, O, yoa must notthink I have broken faith with yon. I conldnot help it 1 But henceforth I may redeemall. I can. stay beneath yonr roof no more.I cannot remain where '. ...

The young man broke down here, and turned away to hide hi emotions. - .;

' Oliver Hudson,' spoke the merchaut.nlmoststernly, 'I thought yon knew me better. Yourpresent course indidicates but little confidencein one who has thus far been to you a truefriend. Do you remember a conversationyou held with Albert Ryder some three monthsbefore I took you into my family ?'

Meadville, the county seat of Crawfordcounty, is a pleasant thriving little-tow- offour thousand inhabitants, situated thirty sevenmiles from Erie, directly South,- - and twentyfonr North of Franklin, tbe site of Fort VS"

oangotan old fort of the French and Indianwars. It is a village considerably devoted tothe interests of education; being the seat oftwo Colleges. Beside these, there is oneAcademy, one Female Seminary, and fifteencommon schools. The Unitarian TheologicalInstitution,; is one established a tew yearssince, but not in very favorable circurr stancesat present. : ; The other, Allegheny College.founded .in 1815, by was

given np a few years after, to' tbe MethodistEpiscopal Church. 7 It is now in a very favorable condition, supplied with an able corps ofteachers, and enrolling, for the past year, twohundred and fifty students. Connected withtbe College, there are .three literary societies

Allegheny, Philo Franklin, and Biblical allwholly carried on by the students, and of highmoral tone. Each of these societies have alarge and well famished hall ; also, librariesof well selected books, history, biography, poetry, and some excellent miscellaneous workaBesides these, there is the College library ofeight thousand volumes, comprising many rareand valuable books. .;. ;;; : v: ' '

The College is at present under the immedi

ate supervision of Dr.-Joh- Barker, a ripescholar, true gentleman, and a sincere christiana man well fitted for the station in which he isplaced.. ' ' ' .""

The Institution is based npon the free Bys- -

tem, the faculty being supported by the interest of a fund raised by the sale of scholarships,

granting the holder the privilege'bf keepingone student at school as long as it shall becarried on.'. Beside this, each student is taxedtwo dollars per term for the purpose of meet-

ing all incidental expenses.' "' '"' '

Thus, the outlay being small, it presents tothe young man, and especially one of straightened circumstances, the opportunity of gainingaTiberal education.'. "The Bcenery""aroundMeadville, is wild and romantic, and whenstanding on College Hill, it presents to thelover of Nature' a beautiful picture, . To theSouthward as far aa tbe eye can reach, stretches the "Valley of French Creek, with the rivershining like a thread of silver, and on eitherside it is flanked by hills rising in Bold relief, thus combining in one view the gentlebeauty of tbe valley, and the rugged sceneryof tbe hill side. ' Then away, across the valleyto the West stands a solitary but giganticmound, rising to the bight of from one bundred and fifty to two hundred feet.' ' The top ofit is covered with a heavy growth of Umber,mostly oak, and on one side, at the base of thehill, is a thick growth of pines, which, in summer, wear a' dull, sombre hue, compared withthe common forest tree. In fact, the""whole

face of the country presents practical illustra

tions of the "ups and downs" of life.

In regard to politics, Meadville is eminentlyRepublican. Men talk politics, printers printpolitical speeches, and, for aught I know, edit

ors furnish political copy. But there is one

fact which serves to render it bearable it ismostly Republican.' And we have every reason to believe that the slave oligarchistB whodare to call themselves the advocates of truedemocracy, will receive a stern rebuke at thehands of their opposers.' Indeed, if we may

judge of election results from present appear-ances, we may say, without doubt, that theAdministration of this State will be badly

beaten. The Republicans of Pennsylvaniawill administer a scathing rebuke to .her . daa

tard son, who has proved so recreant to his

trust. Throughout the whole extent the ballot box will bear ample testimony to tbe

thoughts and actions of .her people in regard

to this great wrong. Last evening the Kepunlicans at this place were cbeered on in theirstruggle, by a most stirring appeal By tlon.B. F. Wade, of Ohio, It was a splendid effort

just such an one as is needed to rouse men

to action. The speaker held a large and intefligent audience mote, except when broughtdown by a keen retort, or a great truth boldlyexpressed, for nearly two and a half hours.

During his speech, he brought to light thefrauds both political and financial of the Ad-

ministration, the extravagant expenditures of

Government, and the aim of the slavery ad

vocates. At the close of the meeting, a voteof thanks was tendered the speaker, and thenthree cheers for Senator Wade of Ohio, shookthe Court-roo- cheers given with right goodwill, and by strong,' honest men. Mr. Wadehas folly sustained his high reputation aa aman, and as a statesman ; he is just each an

one as the Republicans need more of at w ashnh&ticallv a man for tbe

times. ALLEGHENY.

The loncer I live, the more certain I am

that the great difference between men is ener.

Meantime, the citv was greatly excited, andat an early hoar on tbe morning of the 13th,hundreds were on the qui vtve, anXioas to wit-ness the rencontre. Since the days of the "Vig-

ilance Committee, nothine eaualline this in tbeeffect npon all minds, has transpired in Sanf runeisco. - the ground where the hostilemeeting would take, place was. not generallyknown, as, several. changes had already beeumade; but that instinct which draws-th- vulture to the feast, led each and ali to the place.which was a small valley some ten miles rromMerced Lake. , The principals, with secondsand physicians, were on the ground, at a quarter past six o cloctc, both, apparently in inebest of spirits,. neither at all anxious or nerv-ous as to tbe result. Half an boar was occm- -pied in the preliminary atrangements ; daringthis time tbe principals maintained their positions, and listened with much- composure totbe detail. ' Judge terry stood with his headthrown slightly back, looking toward his an-

tagonist; maintaining the position of a prac-ticed duelist, presenting only the edge of. hisperson anil keeping his left hand and shoulderwell behind Lim. .. Mr. B:oderick, on the con- -

Jndge Terry fired a tew seconds later.taking - deliberate", aim ;' at that instant Mr.Broderick clapped bis hand to his right breast,reeled slowly to the left, and before bis secondscould reach him, fell to the ground, still hold-

ing bis pistol. ' Jodge Terry folded his arms.but did not move from bis position, ine seconda of Mr. Broderick, immediately ran to hisaid, and found that the' bullet bad enteredjust forward of tbe right nipple, and had lodg-ed, as was supposed, under the left arts.

Judge Terry and his frienda npon leavingthe field, drove rapidly into the city, and tooka boat for Oakland, and- - thence by a privateconveyance to Sacramento', via Martinez. Attbe latter place he experienced some difficultyin getting ferried across to Benecia. ' The flagsin both! places were then suspended at halfmast, caused by tbe false report ot Mr. rsroa- -

erick's death. He was able to speak duringthe forenoon ; but owing to the wounding ofthe lungs, tbe articulation was generally unin-

telligible.. Tbe internal bleeding caused inte-

nse-pain and a. suffocating sensation. Nohopes were entertained. of his recovery, andat nine o ciock on tne morning oi mo xom, uexpired.. i: ! v ' ..' v-.- ::i v i.

i . . DKATB OF 8KNAT0B BRODERICK.- The mind of tbe wounded man was wan-

dering after the infliction of the fatal shot, andat times he was not himself. The effect of thechloroform given to him deadened the excruci-

ating agony by affecting hia nervous system,which had been strung to tbe greatest tensionby the three days of harraasing anxiety pre-ceding tbe duel. Before the fight he express-ed his firm determination not to shoot at Ter-ry above the hips, as he did not consider behad any quarrel with him, and after be wasshot his wandering mind called that np, asalso the impression of the conviction that bewas to be hunted by the hungry crew whothirsted for his office, until be should be killed.He talked of the defeat in thia State, of thegreat principles for which he had done battle;that be had been deserted by the people hehad taken the field for, and now the peculiarclass of . politicians who had joined againsthim would be encouraged to hunt after bim toput him out of the way. He felt he was tobe silenced, and he is now silenced forever.'

' ': ' ' ' ' DY1KG 7. ' 'T" FronHhe- - friends who attended the bedside

of Mr. Broderick, from the time he was woun-

ded until his decease, we cannot learn that hewas at any time sufficiently conscious to per-mit of his speaking decidedly of his situation,or tbe circumstances which brought it about.For the greater portion of the seventy-fou- r

boars during which .he lived after receivingthe fatal shot, he has been nnder the influenceof applications administered for his relief, andwhich prevented the full exercise of his mentalpowers. ' '

He would occasionally give utterance toincoherent expressions, and deprecate the in-

terference caused by the police on the day ofthe first meeting. His mind was evidentlyharrassed with the idea that he had prema-turely fallen a victim to unrelenting politicalanimosities, and that standing in the path ofhis adversaries, he had been doomed to destrnctipn. Without believing that there wasany formal conspiracy among bis enemies tokill him, no man could have so provoked themas he bad done in the late canvass, withoutsubjecting himself to their most deadly hostil-ity. ' It appeared to be a common belief amongthose who recognize the code, that he had tofight them all. Perhaps not in detail, perhaps not one atter anoiner, out wnen ne pre-

sented bis breast to the pistol of Terry, itwould seem that he braved the whole concen-trated hate ot those who felt aggrieved by hisattacks. -- Few doubted that if he had escap-ed that issue, he would have been unmolestedbv others. Sucb appear to have been bis dying convictions, and although he was consciousof the feeling of his adversaries, he seems tohave succumbed under the belief, at last, thatin his own person, either by Terry or someone else, he was to be made sacrifice or. ,

There was no pa.rade ot moumiuic , uu pruuu wwowiwu u,hollow-hearte- d grief. Men asked not whattheir neighbors did, nor eared if they mournedor not, but moved only by the fullness oftheir own erief, they suspended business, drap.ed their doors in mourning, and betook them-selves to sorrowful thoughts.

The excitement attendant npon election,having to some extent passed away, the peo-

ple for the last three days have devoted them-

selves almost exclusively to their County Fair.The entries. were quite large, numbering thir-

At the close of the second day, nearly everyone seemed to have struck a belligerent atti-

tude and from the small talk, an outsider (tbatmeans any one not drunk,) would have inferredtbat the war was about to be carried into Africa, especially as numerous complected gemmenwere to be perceived, lying around loose or elsetied np in something. The most serious re-

sult, was a blow at freedom of speech, whichunfortunately hit tbe corner of a man that wasloudly proclaiming himself to be a Republican,and brought him on a level with the dust fromwhich he was originally manufactured. Thejoke of the affair was; that both tbe knockerand the knocked, were loyal Democrats, but,as usual, with intoxicated persons", the onethat proclaimed himself ; a Republican, hadreached that stage when he imagined himselfto be something more important than be was,and thereby the offence came, and if the knock-

er had not opportunely taken to his heels, defence would also have come. .. -- : :

The third day was devoted almost exclu-

sively to horses, and ladies' equestrianism.The track is a" most miserable aplogy, oneeighth of a mile in circumference. It presentsto the view both hills and valley's, and wouldprove decidedly detrimental to a fast horse,bat fortunately no such article, being present,no serious consequences ensued. Bat fewblooded horses were presented, the greaternumber being from ordinary stock. Somesplendid two years old colts attracted consid-erable attention, but to a horse fancier, thearray presented, as a whole, would be pronounced poor. :!

Ladies' equestrianism was the main featureof the afternoon. , Four ladies entered for thePremmnl1 a thirty-fiv- e dollar tea eet Allrode well, but as & decision mast be made, tbejudges awarded the premium, as usual, co theone the spectators thought was not entitled toit. . As comparisons are odious, especiallyamong ladies, I should not like to express aoopinion, myself, bat merely remark, that the

lady with the cotton velvet habit, wag not en-

titled to the china. ;

Sugar Cane Mills and evaporators were on

the grounds, which made in a very short timoa delicious syrup, proving that sweetness canbe cultivated, profitably, in Northern regions.

The Fair closed with a grand parade of premium stock in the ring, headed by a braeBband, and the assembled thousands took nptheir various articles and walked. , . ..

I had almost forgotten to pay my respeotsto the band, tbat sweet brass band, that pouredits melody forth in delicious straius npon thebalmy air,'" Whether they executed "OldHundred," orPop goes the Weasal," 'Green-wood" or "Zip Coon," they were the delight ofthe vast assembly, aud even now I can almostimagine I hear the mogniflcent roar of thatcracked bugle, and the gentle pounding on the

sheepskin drum. O, brass band I when shallwe meet again to part forever ? when will thediscordant strains of your melifluous instru-
