I'll kill him at once! Great God ! how my arm pains me!"' Ucnry hluuroc and his friend did not know what to make of this out burst from Senter, and i^ie former was in the act of replying in all inquiring manner, when the boy pinched his arm and w hispered : "Hush," and Immediately ho added, "follow me quick." The boy, own in the dark, knew Henry's position, for he had extinguished the light, lie advanced towards him. Henry followed ihe boy. The older one must frequently wi I give heed and ?4*m? the advice from vo-imr.r li.- ? ill WMVII Ci?* M>*. Til** lioy km** the situation of the door, and iw thcv entered the passage lie whispered to llenry to call his friend. James U. following I lie source from whence the voice came, at once proceeded to the door, and as lie took Henry's aim, the boy advised a hasty retreat. They at once olicyed, and in an hours' time, l ie three were safely housed in a room of Jones' Hotel. Arthur and taker wero bewildered?they did not see the boy, and they wcr- yet to learn that Scntcr did not extinguish the light ; on th? oilier hand, Renter was suffering ?o intensely from the blow inflicted by the boy, that the others must have la-en almost at the Hotel liefore matters were understood. It is very natural then, that Jarnes should obey the suniMi -ns of Ilenrr without moleetatiou, and were it" not for the segviou* ml vice of the lioy, no doubt l>oth of tliein would have remained, and pruhthly the sacrifloo been committed at last. The door was locked inside, and the two young men sat on the l-ed. while the boy sat on a trunk. "What does all this mean ?" said Henry; "-lid you," apta?al<ng to the ls?y, "strike Mr. Renter I" "I di?i, sir." "Whit for, pray ?" "To kiop liiin, sir, from killing yon." "Killing me! What do you meant" "Why, sir, lie had a dagger raised to strike you, and I snatched up the |?oker and struck him." "Are v??u sure," said Henry, "he ainiinl to strike m?f ' Yea, air, I ain tun*, nn<l I heard Mr. Hakcr when lie asked liim if lie was ready, au<l he said yea, and pulled out the dagger."

And why should he take such an interest in Henry c Monroe, by ex|>osing his life, for if Senior had have caught tl him, as the boy truly asserted, be would have killed hiin ? f? These were questions neither could answer. A light was 1? was made after a while, and they d sensed the matter. Senter was disposed to accuse linker of foul play ; Arthur, he n was convinced, wsb too anxious to get rid of his brother, to / interpose a barrier to the accomplishment. Hut Baker pro- b tested his innocence with so much sincerity, that dually Sen- tl tor (relieved him. a "Wall, we made a bad job of it, somehow," said Arthur; tl "I hope he docs not suspect me. 1 must excuse myself, and a you too, Mr. Senter, for I brought him here." After a e pause, he continued, "Well, of course you jive me back the o note !" n "No, sir, I do not/* said the so-called Senter, "the under- ii standing I had with Baker was, I should have the money tl whether I succeeded or not. Am I going to run tho risk of having my arm broken, or as it may have been of having d my brains blown out, for nothing!' No, sir, I demand u the money." g "SupjKise I wont pay oay it t" . a "I will sue you, then? replied Senter. ,, ?. n "But 1 would defend it," said Arthur, "I could prove you weic demanding pay for services you did not perform 1" U "Yea, my young u an, but wlt?c you come to to I the 8 Court what kind of services you expected^ how vfbuld you P fwl lllllt How pleasant it.'will sound to tbs* earn of die J Court, that you had employed Mr. Senter to assassinate your tl brother?yes, your own brother, and as lie failed to do it, s< you consider yourself released from all obligations to pay '< the debt I Who would hang then I Mr. Arthur Monroe, d as we'l as his friend, Mr. Senter!" tl "Well, well." put in Baker "this is enough of it. Munroe is excited, and knows not what he is talking about; lie will , is pay the i.ote. Of cour-e be is not prepared to pay now; g that was not the understanding. You know we even looked si to the time when be would receive his brother's portion for w the payment!"' w "You may have looked there, Mr. Baker," said Senter, a whose arm pained considerably, which did not contribute to f? his g->od humor, "you may have looked to paying it then d but t can assure you I did not. I tell you troth now, this el note must be paid soon. I was not very anxious to engage ? I .1-. i...-:?? .... ... .... uU<...iv<? ?iij way, uui i nave ilono my part, and to prove I acted fairly my wounded arm is evidence." f<"Well John," answered linker, '' you must not bo too ti bard on us. Vou will get the money just as soon as we r' can pay." c "Kv-ry b-vly talks that way, Mr linker, as soon as they can, hut unfortunately, they never get it. I am not to l?e ? put off that way. I will give you a little lime, but 1 can't >' wait long." w After this conversation, Arthur accompanied linker to his n room, and they sought repose at about thesime time that * llenry and his friends were similarly engaged. Virtue, like a rare exotic, must must be guarded and pro- u lected. Cold winds and chilling frosts would alike destroy f> it. Vice, on the other hand, delights and flourishes ill an t< open atmosphere, where it can have full swuy, stimulating u > and invigorating its votaries to great aehieveniciits?achieve- S1 incuts which, iu the end, entail i.i e distress, nnd everlasting | ~ ruin and remorse. To shield the youthful heart from the ^ enticing snares of the world, the parent should keen a watch- * ful eye ove' his offspring. Acipiuiiitauce with vice broods the inclination to iiumilittion, but by a judicious, well di- ? reeled guardianship, virtue is displayed to s flcn the heart * brighten the intellect, to in-til into the youthful one those les- 6 sons spontaneously the offspring of virtue's ways, which ron- ? der the grown up son or daughter of serviceable iinjortance 81 in life, iiihI at last insures him eternal pence and hap piness. 11 To lake the son to" the grog-shop, that he may witness the gross depravity of the votaries of Hacchus, is by no means a productive of a salutary benefit. Too f? Mpient observations ? of protligacy, leaves a dark tinge on ther.iiud. A morbid ctt- 11 ' rioeity impel* the beholder to h*>k further, ami Itefore hisstep fi ! is arrested, he is himself in n similar situation. F<>r thin 0 i ri'Hjwm u m lienor to bring tip children in the country. Willi I ! no evidences of profligacy or licentioiMtie?a around tliem, they | " are much loss liablo to ho est rayed from the paths of virtue. l' Thi* cannot be done, however, at all times ; and yet, hy P oi>rf?ct discipline, children may bo reared in the city, and at l' the satno time have no inclination to sock for pleasure or on- ? joymcnt in those places, where vice holds dominion. 8 There is a great deal in making home happy. When N the son or even the father declares ho dislikes to be at homo, you may tremble for their safety. When tho tavern is sought a hi prcferenco to one's own fireside, yo-t inay safely conclude that homo is I* reft of those domestic pleasures, which, of all d efforts, are most calculated to lay tho foundation of solid vir J' tue, if not true morality or christian piety. Arthur Munroe did not love home, domestic <ptarrels wore no incentives to endear him to home. lie, therefore, sought * enjoyment elsewhere, and in Philadelphia he found an am- * pie field for the gratification of those vicious pleasures by ? which thj young are so soon captivated, llunry wm nsturally of a more docile, timid disposition than Arthur, and c' fond of the ca esses of his mother?he was a novice in tho* " ways of the world, in whtoh his brothsr was s proficient.? j' For this reason, it would be doing him injustice to suppose hint possessed of less natural understanding that Arthur. 11 11# was inexperienced.

TO IIK CUNTINIKD. MISCELMANEOUS. ^ Exploration of the valley of the Amazon. Lieut. Gibbon was joined with Lieut, j Ierndon in his recent explorations of the i alley of the Amazon, but separating fot j he more efficient prosecution of the work, I ,ieut llerndon returnerl first, and his work published by the Senate of the United tales, has already come before the pnhc. Lieut. Gibbon returned later, ami his eport, constituting part second of the exploration, has just been submitted to Confess, and from this work we have pro nred the extracts l?clow, in the hope that j hey may meet the eye of members to tho out hern Convention, to bo held in CliarSstoll. Lieut. Gihhon travelled on horseback early two thousand miles, among the Lodes of South l*eru and Bolivia. Kmarkini? at their haso. he descended tlinmrK i lie falls of tlie Great Madeira, in llrazil nd thence down the lower Amazon to lie Atlantic, a dis'anceof over two thousr.d miles more. In tlie course of this ; xcursion, he passed among many tril?-s f the aboriginal inhabitants, and became 1 ccessarily familiar with many of the most nporlant features of this secluded and at- 1 ractive country. The notes we copy liavo attempted no i tgested exposition of tha wealth and va!e of trie Atlantic slope,but they merely iv? a panoramic vi??r^? current iiici- 1 cnta and scenes, and on this account are ot the less attractive. Starting from Forma, asmnli Peruvian >wn, in latitude 11 degree* 25 minutes I outba and accompanied by Henry C. hclyuds, of Virgiuia, and attended by ! m? Gosas, a native of Pern, and a volnicer M.atho arriero, who, with ids little on. drove the baggage mules, our tourist ook up bis line ofmareh, in ar South-Fast, irectiou on the Oih of July, 1851, and litis describes his journey : Til? ravine through which we asctnd, i thickly populated with Quichua Indians athcriug the harvest of maize, which is mall grained, and ??f four colors? red, < rhite, yellow and blue. Potatoes, of liich there are numerous varieties, are | Uo now gathered. They grow in per- < 'clion, ihough much smaller than their escendanta in the United States The i liacras, I ttle estates, are owned by de- i .'endants of Spaniards, Indians, or Mesti- I m?the lat'er a cross between the two i inner. in *unosi an eases, me cultiVH- j l on of tlio soil is performed l?y the Ai>o- i ! gincs, at wages of from ten to twenty 11 lit# per day. I < The Indians celebrate harvest time with ! terry-making. Their meals are cooked 1 i 1 the lipids where their kitchen utensils I re carried. They liavo dancing and i msic in the hurley, Stubble Horses, i .ule*, Sheep, horned Cattle, Pigs and I | >ogs are all admitted, together with the | iiinly, into the harvest field. While the I ither reaps and mother gathers, the boys l snd the tloeks, and elder girls take care f the habies, while at die same time, thev pin woolen yam by hand for stockings ?a pair of which was offered for sale at srenty-fire cents, long enough for trowITS. At the top of the mountain, not a house r tree was to be seen, and no sign of cultivation. On tufts of coarse mountain rass, (locks of sheep were grazing?some f thorn good sized Merinos. Wool is ent to Lima, where it is sold to bo ex pored around Cape Horn to tlio mannfuctires in the North. On our left, we see the remains of an ncient Peruvian road, used in the limes f the Inca's. It is said good roads are larks of civilization, could my mule Itose ive Iter opinion, she would certainly deidu in favor of the Inca road in preferlice to those found at Peru at the present iuie. These rein .Ins show a width of I tiirty feet of rock pavement, with well la<vd curb Hon". Uu each side where lie road lias const ierahl i inclination, rows f stone are placed across higher than the cnernl level of tbc pavement, so that it ppears like a stair-way on the side of a ill. That it was not a coach road, is no rguincnt against it. It was made before ie horse, tho as-, or the cow were intro need into South America from Kttropc. t was constructed for the Indian and Ids ama, who is the surest of the sure-footrl, ard therefore the improvement speaks 'ell tor the civilization of those times of 'Inch we have but a traditionary re >ru. i Oil the right side of our path, was a | stern, in which water is caught during I 10 winy season, to supply the thirsty in le dry. The rainy Mason commences i eie about the middle of September, some- j mes later, and lasts six months; tho re- | minder of the year is dry. i To the east is a snow-peaked mountain i gainst % deep blue sky ; ne the moon rises, i i if front the Atlantio ocean, the sun i ?ms to hare sunk in the Pacific. Night 1 rertakea us where not a liring thing is i 10 lie seen, except 11 black eagle returning to its roosting place, under overhanging rocks. On the west side of a lofty peak, our little tent was pitched ; the baggage piled up and covered at the door; the mules let free for the night, to feed upon the mountain grass mound us. A fire was kindled, and water from a small spring heated; tea was made. .Toso produced bread and cheese from his saddle wallets, placed upon a clear cloth over a trunk; looking into the tent, he says, "Soior, la huru de emu"?Sir, it is the hour of supper. We have ascended all day, and both man and beast feel tired. The first day's travel is always the most harrassing. Our Arriero Francisco, and his little son, Ignacio, keep watch by turns over the mules. The night was clear and cold?the moon shining brightly. The world is not so silent in the middle of the ocean. I do not think I heard any thing. I almost listened to hear the globe turn upon its axis. Long after the people were asleep, I heard little Ignacio singing to himself, wrapped up in his liotnsptm poncho, as he follows the mules. At daylight in the morning we found heavy frost and ice about us, with the thermometer at '24 degs. Fahrenheit.? The mules were loaded, breakfast over, observations made, and wo otV soon after sun-rise. Tbis is the way to travel at an elevation where we find no inhabitants. The mountains are becoming more rounding and covered with a fine sort of grass. Shepherdesses are following thousands of sheep and lambs. The girls spin wool and chat together, while the dogs follow lazily after. llero comes a cheerful party of Spanish i' l- i- i: ? ? ' imui's ami geiuieineti oil li ?r.?eback. As wo pass each oilier, the gen llemen take oil' llieir lulls, and the ladies look prettily under their white straw ones. I'lioir ligUM slirtw to ;nI valltHgU in lidillg dresses, and they manage and sit their horses well. The cool mountain air gives ihein a fresh color, which contrasts well with gazelle-eyed beauty, and long black hair. I thought their dtosses, rather short hut a sight of the foot of one of them, >tnall as it wa*( remind* one there is proof positive against the propriety of p man's travelling through this world alone. Crossing a small ridge on the Kast, we tame in full view of t ie great valley of Juaja, stretching away South. The town of Junja has a population of about twenty-five hundred. I say afjout, because there is uo such thing as a censes know at this elevation. The houses are built one-story, of adobe walls, or to unburnt bricks, ami tile roofs. The streets artpaved, and run at right angles with each other. Men live to a good old ago in this climate. Seventy, eighty, and ninety years lire common ; some have arrived at one hundred and twenty, and one hundred iind thirty. I am under the impression that llie Indians live longest. Mestizo ami Spanish Creole girls have been known to hear children at eight and nine years of age. < >xer the surface of ih's level valoy there are numerous gangs of Indians thrashing barley, The grain is separated from the straw by the tramping of oxen and hor-! *es?then cleaned from the chaff'bv being 1 poured irom the top of a man's head, on a windy day; may of them sutler with inthimcd eyes, and ex en h>se them, sometimes by a shift of wind. 11 lack cattle are numerous here, and at the foot of the mountains; so are white churches, which stand in the midst of a thick population of Indians. The valleyis all activity, and merry are tne people ? Women are visilina about, from ol> <-.. <r* - y | to place, astride of plump little jackasses. I 'I'llin is a plentiful season?when the crops fail oil these table lands, the suffering I among the Indians is very great?seed time is in September, just before the rains Doiumencc. If there arc hard fios's in February the chancer, are that famine follows. There is no part of the territory of IVru so thickly populated as the Valley of Jauja. The mountains on both sides are dry and unproductive, except in the ravines. Hie half yearly displacement of earth is rery great. During the rainy sea'on. the mountain torrents come down from the lUinmit loaded with soil. The decrease in iho size of the mountains Iroin the time oi their creation to the present day, and the lilling up of this basin, naturally leads one to wonder whether the pacsents vallv was ; aot once a lake. The Juaja Kiver, w hich takes its rise in Lake Chinchaycocha, to the North of farina, flows sluggishly and serpent like through the whole length of the vnlir-v, creeping though the Andes, suddenly rushes otf at A rapid rate, as tliotitrh sensible in long journey l?y the Uoayali and Amazon, to the Atlantic Ocean. These waters descend over 11,000 feet before lliey mingle with the briny deep. Ily the river, snipe are found, and among the apple trees, which are the size of raaberry hushes humming birds are seen and heard. The affection the different species of animals have for one another in these heights is remarkable. The dog in any other place, will sometimes kill and eat the dieep?here he protect* It by night and and by day. The pig forms an attachment \o the jackaea, who leitvo it at tliie leason of the year, for the female of his own kind. The ram became# intimate with the horse, or a ball, and itw with difflsulI ly they can he separated. The lamb follows tiie Indian girl in direct disobedience J and neglect of its mother's call. Domes- ^r'j tic cats are few they cannot live on high ?' 8 elevations. natl Droves of Jackasses pass, loaded with ^r0, small raw-hide bags, filled with quicksilver ^ve lor the mines of Cerro de Pasco ; many tine mules are dashing down the narrow road;the drovor tells me he's from lea,bound ' to the Cerro l'asco mines, where he trades v mules for silver, lea is situated inland ,,.on< from Pisco 011 the coast. hnu< We ascend the top of a mountain and see perpetual snow in all directions, over- can hung with heavy, black, cumulus clouds, cJ,rl above which the cirrus shoot upwards; in The the 7.cnilh the sky is clear and of the ^',e deepest blue. A clear snow water lake is speckled with while wild geese and U8 :l black wild ducks; tnd-polcs but no fish n^'' were to l?e seen. ^ re: The Lama is pasturing ami giving birth to its young, close under the per- novi petual snow line. They oecitp ' the use- ^rel till position among the aboriginal race of wor South America, that the camel does to the P") wandering man in Arabia. They carry rJ,HI loads of one hundred pounds over roads 'IIK', too dangerous for the mule or the ass, c'l'" and to climb mountains difficult for man. ";otl They are principally used for conveying ''js 1 silver from the mines. When mm Iskm disa behind or lies down on the road, the In ,1K''! dian talks to it and persuades it to forget 6"1' its fatigue and get up again. They hang 1, little bells about their graceful necks and J?10' decorate the tips ??f their ears with bits of a. colored ribbon. Their dispositions, like "'84 those of their masters, are gentle and in- VKM offensive, except when too much hurried ; tlien they cast saliva at the Indians or at - 1 each other. This is their only offence. It "V1 is thought to be poisonous. Their food is ,n "i the mountain grass, which they never ?r.v?. take ac night; the loads are taken off at p01" mid-day that they may rttcsl. They seek 'l,> '' tho cold regions of the Andes; nature has ^or ' provided a warm fleece of wool, and they need no shelter. Though they are feeble or jV animals, their usual daily travel is about ' fifteen miles; but after three it four days 'r?H' journey they must have rest, or they ol,r twrish on the road. The motion of their V v toa?f and tttfdfto fttf^Wtsw*tits itvwntsiH | 1 crags may Ire likened to that of the swan 101 as it floats over smooth water. no? lluanaco is known by its being rather -Ten larger than the Lama; it is said to l?e r difticult to train, even if taken w hen '('r ' young. It never gives tip its ideas of .3 liberty, and will regain its companions inS whenever an opportunity admits. The Alpaca is the smallest of the fain- ?1 ilv, with the finest long wool. Its body i !''su resembles the sheep, with the head and ' neck cf the Lama. Jose tells me they I WiW are good to cat; but like the others, the I H. meat is not very palatable. Alpaca wool { is well known in the markets. In Smith l'eru and Itoliva, great numbers of these . now world animals are raised. sj4ni After a long and tiresome descent, we ol halted in the main plaza of tho town of | lluaiicavelica, in front of a small shop | rf(l,j on the corner. Drawing out a letter ol I "':i" introduction t<> tlte owner of the house, I handed it to a very pretty young wo- t man scaled in the doorway sewing. She j " invited tne in, and 1 followed t<> the l>ed | m room of her husband, who was napping, j l""' There were so many female dresses hang "'"I around, I was obliged to l>e seated on k'ar the bed. The husband shook hands, cale gaped, and then laughed, lie said he c'rc' Will very glad to sec nie, that evcrrthiug ?,lu in his house was mine. Our baggage are w as put into a room, and preparations at l'"11 onee made for dinner. 1,0 c While I waa resting, an officer with a wc< gold laced eap, gray trowsers and a halt whu buttoned military jacket came in, and en- vcr> quired froiu whence I came and said as he war was a Lieutenant of Police he w ould thank ^ ,x me to show him iny passport. In return,In dro| was asked whether, in his opinion, the a,,<' world was not sufficiently civilised to pass without such documents I It is very 1 certain the Lieutenant never had such a vv'"' question put to him before. I told him to ex|" call when my baggage was unpacked, but w','< never saw iti 111 again. Though 1 heard that C,)UI l>.,n had been told that "North A- t','n niericaus required different treatment "I"1* from thoio of some other parts of the a,u' world, they did not know what passports '"Cf meant, nowithfttnnding they were a very nav intelligent |M?ou!e!" The town of Kuancavelicn has a popu- ot'K latiou of about eight thousand, and is situated in a deep ravine, amidst a cluster vu''' of lofty peaks.
