When he came out ho gazed upon thebridge over which Ellen was lo pass. Hers'ighl figure was faintly visible, preceded bya flag of truce, and at length faded away."Now I am childless,*' said ho, *•! have onlyto die for my country."

Surrounded by tho chiefs and noble.-? of hisaimy. sat Duke Leopold, uon » s- at adornedwith gold and purple, which served him for athrone, deliberating with them upon tho mostetJecrive means ol attacking Soleure. Thecurtain of the pavillion was raised, and anofficer entered and informed him thatayoungH'rirnnn, the daughter of Bucheg, requestedadmission,

Leopold looked exuhingly upon his nobles.** He has sent his daughter to melt our pur-poses I" said he; " does he think that youthand beauty can beguile our resolution 1"—Let her enter, and we will show her that ourblood is warmed only by glory."

A gain (he curtain was raised, and Ellen,dressed in the plainest manner, entered. Sheap;».roa»:hed tho Duke, and beat one knee tothe ground. " Noble prince ," she said, " Icome lo Viu as a petitioner, to claim yourprotection ;"' and she placed her father's letterin his hand.

The Duke looked earnestly at her, as didalso his nobles with still greater curiosity.The effort of courage was over. Her eyeswere cast down, and her whole frame trem-bled with emotion,

" My lord," said the Duke, addressing anold man who stood near him, " support thisyoung woman to a seal." He then uufoldedthe letlrr and read :

" N OBLE PRINCE—She who brings youthi-s tetter is my only child—all the treasure Ipossess in ibis world. Therefore, I trusther to you , relying on your honor.

NEW YOKK, last of November, IS3S. .GENTLEMRN ,-The "Two Follies" having 1

ben. considerably put back in fitt in out , owinto the notion of mixin up steam works aboardof her, so as to make her equal lo the Brit ishfolks—the " Great Western ," and so forth.I baint had no time to look about me of late,or take much of a hand in any other publicmatter; but I find there is considerable workto be dune elsewhere, and I have jist got along and sad Letter from " Uncle Sam," whois awfully wample crop 'd and wants me tocome on to Washington' i*od hel p him over

some of his troubles. He tc? »»*» me hts bamis full of rals—plenty of straw, but l i t t legrain—and also that the Abolilic niZf s, theAnd Masons, ihe Canada Patriots, tu'e "ubTreasurers, the hard currency f olks, ana .alot of other HUMBUGS, are all besetting ; andhe says, if I will only come on and stand byhim we'll go through all these troubles like adose of sails , and so forlh. Now , there neverwas the time yet that I ever let Uncle Samwant a friend if I could get to him ; and soI'll let the folks here tinker at the safety valvesand steam kittles and get them all snug, andI'll go to Washington and lend Uncle Samand Congress a band for a spell.

There are no two things in all creation Ilike so well as blowing-up humbugs, and ralhunting ; and there are no two things in anyCOunUy that stand so poor a chance as ratsand humbugs —in this country when the peo-ple {jet a notion of acting on " second soberthoughts," so as Uncle Sam seems to be on(hat tack, it wont be much of a job. I havetell'd him the first thing to be done is to lookto the old barn, and he must loose no time tosecure the sarvices of all the best Terriers inthe country , and get em in good training ,especially all the old and well tried ones, whoknow how to station themselves and not like-ly to be led off on the wi ong tack — that 1could rely on such as old Snap , and Clincher,and spring, and Grab, and Pincher, andSmash, and Troisier, and such like, for Ihave tried em all 5 and if a rale ral COtllfeSwithin jump ing distance of any of these hewont know his head from his tail arter onesqueak. All these old and faithful crittursamt had a fair chance at a rat hunt for a longwhile, for whenever they have taken theirstations there has been such a dust raisedrats that he wanted to clear out ; but thingswill be differently managed I hope this lime,and we dont mean to make much noise aboutit. A leelle asafitily to let em know troubleis coming and then one shake and a squeakand that "dll be the last of " a rat."

Arter finishing off that business and husk-ing and thieshing out what grain remains ,and gitting that matter all ballanced up, (ifthere is any ballancc JeA) we will ne*t setabout silling some of these humbugs UncleSam is pestered with of late. For it ralydoes seem to me if " second sober thoughts "dont open folks eyes and let cm see the dif-ference twixt sound common sense and hum-Olto-, we. best Slop talking of " iiifeK ge-n-e"and take up old Dihvoi th and go to schoolagain.

It was all the fashion a spell ago , withsome folks, to talk up the doctrine that richjol ks oppress 'd poor folks, supposing thatthere, was more poor folks than rich ones ,that doctrine would gain most voles—and soit did for a spell , till the "second sober

j thoughts" of the peop le convinced them thatrich tolks and poor folks were equally usefulto and dependent upon one another , and thata separation did each equal hai m, and so thateach would'nl fight—then agin it WnU said

1 one man was as good as any other man, noj matter how ragged and dirty his shirt was,that ihis was a free country , mid eny manwho wore a cleao shirt and had money in his

' pocket was an aristocrat , and wurct 't to bej trusUd no how and no way in the world—andl thai he was a tarntd Conservative Federal —but a ragged dirty shirt and no money was

i tho Mgn of a good and reliable democrat —, and he was the man to be trusted. But thej" sober second thought*" of the people found' out that this was not sound doctrine , tho' it. sounded well. There was something, in it¦ that seemed to war against common senceand hold up a 6oii«s to the profli gate—it

• seemed to say , " if you work and malto yotir-' selves independent of r<s — ire that is U. S.j wont trust you. Keep poor and dependent—! nod submissive, and hurraw for us, and we 'll

find something for you to do I'm afraid thoDevil will." And just so it is now adays. .

I have ben thinking a good spell what tosay of these matters.

There are two kinds of folks employ 'd incarrying on a liwnbiig— the cute runningfolks, and the honest ignorant folks. A"word to the wise" is said to be sufficient ,but a bushel of words to the ignorant aint eiiuf--so I wont waste lime of words on ary oneon em, but I say lo llie honest who aint igno-rant—and that class is, big enuf to keepthings strait and to straiten the crooked too— ¦look to it , keep your " second sober thoughts '?about you—and if that "aint enuf go to thethird and be assured that what I tel l you is

I t rue—that the great diff erence between the! leaders and their followers, in ail humbugs is1 j ist this—one class kj iows its all elarnal non-sense and lolher dont!—and that is dividingwhat I call a rale /compliment twix 'd both onem. Your friend ,
