Now. here had Frederick Lam bert been lovlr?? the pretty Quakerees for weeks, watching her every motion, noting every smile and look and word, dis covering new beauties in her character,, aud comparing her intelligence, educa tion and sterling seuss with th? artificial butterflies of fashion with which he was surrounded, and all the whit? afraid to'| make his feelings known, lest he should be laughed at, because, forsooth, he had unqualifiedly expressed his dislike to th? Quaker sect ID jrencrai, and Quakeresses in.patticulsrl A? though ho har) not a right to change his mind ! Hts worthy father had chown no such lack of inde pendence, it is true, and his son prom ised himself that the lesson should last him a lifetime. To the unbounded gratification of Col onel Lambert, Frederick announced his ] intention of visiting the Gordons. "At last," thought th? worthy gentle man, "I am to seo my leng-deferred hopes realized. What a shrewd idea it was in me to engage* that Quaker gov erness 1 Rachel vurno has had a good influence over tue boy ; I knew she would. The girl shall never want home while I live, even if she won't "bo my wife. Egad 1 I might hnvo remem bered that the young can't mato with the old. But the boy'll make it all right. Good luck go with him !" Frederick Lambert reached the Quaker I city in safety. The day following., his] arrival, he left his hotel, after making a careful toilet, and set out for<thq rcsi-i douro of the Gordon?. ; H? bat) kent Ids father's letter of introduction on before him, that all unnecessary -ceremony might be avoided. His thoughts were more of Racbol Burns than tue lady he was about to meet. Whether she was pretty or plain, straight or crooked, pre cise or ftrciftl, be cared little. He had made up his mind to be d?K&<<i<>f?ed with j everything sptwirtaining to the Gordon | mansion. Whether he should get out of j the affair with honor, he eft with cir cumstances to decide. He paused a moment before the hand some door that bore the name of James | Gordon upon it. The house waa a spa cious one, with a white marble front. The steps wr-re also of marble, and guilt less of oust. "So far, so good," thought Fred., as he pulled tho silver bel). A courteous footman answered the silvery tinkle and ushered^ him. into a drawing room, first announcing his name. A tall,.! noble*iooking roan met- him~at'Thej threshold. "Thou art welcome, young man," he said, extending his band. "I hope.- thy ?> father is well and prospierous. We have been friends for nearly half a century;' may the friendship of our children he aa lasting 1" "This/' ho added, turning to a lady who rtood near, but whom Fred erick hod not observed, "is my daughter Ann; Ann this is Frederick Lambert, whose fp.ther thee bas beard ma mention so many times." Miss Gordon bowed, and presented her i hand with the grace and affability of a I princess, greeting bim with a few well ! chosen words. 8ne betrayed neither Btiff ness nor embarrassaient, and the dreaded introduction passed off far moro agreea bly than Frederick had anticipated. He, the stickler for etiquette in" all its forms, the ever self-possessed and'ready gallant, the man of the world, waa the one ac fault. The beautifully-rounded periods and the nicely-turned .speeches with which he had maliciously designed to overwhelm the retiring Ann Gordon, thereby showing the imme""3?superiority of his intellect, had strangely deserted him,'and hq fiiarnnierhfl ?cJu?B?roething, uuinteUifcible even to hiniBtlf, He r,#a thankful when Mr. Gordon asked him a question relating to his father. The redoubtable Ann Gordon desorvea some description. She waa neither at tired a la Quaker, deported a la Quaker, ! nor talked a la Quaker. The most ce vere critic of female beauty would have pro nounced ber handsome. Her dress of I French blue silk fitted her admirably, its rich lace trimmings falling over a neck and arms unrivalled in whiteness and beauty. A Cinderella-like slipper peep ed from beneath the folds of her ample skirt. A small chain of gold, from which depended a locket, was the only orna ment oh? wore. Tho impression one | would receive, at the first glance, was I that of exquisite neatness and faultless i taste. But her hairl Yes, we must be just as well as generous. Ann Gordon's nair was undeniably red, and ob e. wore it I in short ringlets I 'This was the only Haw ? ln-faar- beauty-the-only defeat ia hst I toilet. Frederick was glad of it ! If she had had a anub nose, a freckled face, and a stubby figure, be would have been pro portionably pleased. A curious animal is man I "I suppose we are expected to like each ! other. Mr. Lambert, and I can think of 1 ?o better way of making an agreeable first impression than by ordering dinner," said the young lady, with bewitching1 grace, as she crossed the room and touched the bell-cord. Frederick bctrtd, as before, he couldn't think of anything apropos to sayv? *, f J r.i "Thee can be excused, daughter JAVm. We will try and amuse ourselves for half an hour." said Mr. Gordon, turning to Frederick. At this permission, "daughter Ann," smiling her adieu, retreated from . the room. Betwr-n thc pauses of the conversation that followed, young Lambert had time to glance about him. How little it look ed like the home of a Quakeress 1 Every thing bore the prestige of lavish wealth, ! yet there was not a showy article to be I 1_ T>:-I._I I-.... -1_, .OOn, ??vu max* UM?| .. the plate-glass windows ; rare pictures hung on the walla ; the furniture was an- j tiquo and massive ; tb? velvet carpet ele gant but unostentatious. Rare articles, speaking of cultured taste and foreign travel, were scattered about: and, alto gether. Frederick was forced to admit that there was an air of luxurious com fort about the apartment, with nono of that stately and repellent grandeur so observable in fashionable drawing-room?. The dinner, which was noon nerved, was excellent. Polished plate and china glittered on the snowy damask. Miss london presided at the well-filled boanL, h?TT motneF being ah" in vainly w??fi aa ease and eleganca which showo?aooncliir. sively that she was Hot sew . itt' tnt puah tion. She conversed, too. not in the rapid and commonplace style which is so genera], but pithily ?nd *otellig*nUy. t. Upon re-entering tb? drawing-room, F red ari ck noticed, for. tho first lim?, a large instrument thai stood ' in *a niche. A piano-forie in a Quaker's parlor! What an anomaly ! Q .* "Does thee Ilk? music f" queried the hoat, observing the movement. 'MD?tkl> ter Ann playa very well,' if thoa would like to bear her?" Of course our hero asked to be grail j fled immediately ; but he was quite un ! prepared f jr the display of musical talent oimite. her etyle chaste and highly ex pressive,* arid whence adde?Vri?tfconj tralto voice to a lively accompaniment; his surprise wa^ /unbounded. A Quak cress an adept in music i It vas almost incredible. To po brief, Frederick found birmvdf getting interested. If he never had seen Kachel Barri?, it was just possible that he might ; ncceed in tolerating Amt Gor don ; that ia, if htyr hair.had, notbeeu red and ringletea woich only 'made the'color much moro conspicuous. There was'something about the Quak er1? daughter that perplexed our hero. She reminded him of Rachel Burns io many WaTOR /Ul QB&AtiW'tJ like hers, though it was more universal, spreading itself over her entire face; her eves were also blue, but, uulike Rachel's, they danced ?bout -merrily andr shot glances of mirth in Jewtry* dvectlory tie contour of her features were the same, but there w?a ? mobility and. Vivacity in Miss Gordon's expression that was want ing in Rachel's. The former's voice waar soft ?nd impressive, but it lacked ?he al? very sound of. Rachel'?,rou8h3alf,t|hee'' tna "thou." The Quaker's daughter was evidently *. warm-hearted, enthusias tic, piquant creature, dependent on out side influences for her happiness, while Rachel Burns h?A8rar.to ?? W?*?, quick-witted, high-principled maiden, possessing within herself treasures of far moro worth than art could supply or wealth purchase. But Frederick did not uv.-ervo p.;hair in his allegiance to the Suakeress, al though he was sorely pur. ed at a certain something which he could not, with all his reasoning, analyze, nj ... A business summons for Mr. Gordon left our young people alone together; whick jrcasL pm-icularlv aqqoyiog ' Frederick, who. not desirous st that time ox ?ntroduc?ig his, ?Miplensant errand, i*orce?v? on eaioarr?etag conversation or a more irksome silence! There was a look of consciousness; ton, or?- Mjss ?pfr don's r face, tvhtfcrl- signiflcd)--* plainly" enough, "Now b your time, my. gentle man.'' 1 Our" friend* wouldn't take -the hint, however ; he spoke of the weather, public buildings, and other indiff?rent topics, with an air of nonchalance that was not encouraging lo' a Irtdy wno had a right to expect something diS?rcnt,.. "I don't helic ve that you care for th.e weather or Girard College. Confess that you are thinking of me, Mr. Lambert*?'' sho Haid, naively, turning upon him her full, lustrous eyes. *. "Supposing I admit that the charge is true, what then K' queried Fred., rather taken aback by this unexpected onset. "Why, that I shall take the liberty to read such thoughts, inasmuch as I am the one chiefly concerned," rejoined Miss Gordon, with "a most fascinating smile. " "Agreed 7 -picaro"" U/ wEKHSfSCtS^*T!^** pited the young man submitting with as much grace as possible to what ho could not beljkv--r-\~?~\ " ;>? "I aqi a' Q^,&Uer'si^aitghter, as you know, and aa the sect are noted for straightforwardness I,?hall come to tho Eoint at once.

Are my observations correct, Bir?" "Thc first two entirely so ; bot my an swer is .a decided no to tho third, the young man replied, perceiving that mat ters were growing desperate. Miss Gordon did : not appear in the least disturbed by this uncomplimentary, though very polite avowal. "Thin whim ' of our worthy parent? about-s THatrikgo'between ?sf youl 'probe*' bly consider very foolishr*? / ab?'eotffltiJ; ued tranquilly. "Absurdly so; begging your pardon, Miss Gordon." "I aro my father's only hoir. A ?GVT tune -of -on?-horrired aadrifty thotisand would npt alter your sentiments,^ pre you will acquit me ot mercenary motivo, even if you charge me with a lack of gal lantry." said Fredend;, with au earnest ness that carried conviction with the words. - ,yAH?\if) Iphould confesa, though I own tb treading on forbidden' ground, that I -that 1 am pleased, in short, that I like you?" pursued'"'DaugtiteT Anti,*' ?. lurk ing smile playing about'h?r'red lip*i Frederick was on thorn3., What 0 di lemma to be placed in !

You are aware, Miss Gordon, that this is a delicate sub iect. I hope, in my frankness, that I nave neithe: wounded your feelings nor your pride." Tho lady shook her head playfully. "Then you confesa to being in love?" sho added, remorselessly. "I do: you havo a right to ask the question," replied our friend Frederick, his handsome face owning thc soft im peachtocptTp "Sh? ii a'bappy woman ! Who ii it?" queried Ann Gordon. "Rachel Burns, a Quakeress." "What is she like? How does she loot?" continued the- fair catechist. "She is good, ?nd Wears a gray gown ; she Ul pretty, and wears a Quaker bonnet; I love her, and'fehersnvs 'thee' and 'thou.' Dear Rachel. |'V , , Ann Gordon s cheeks took on the hoe of damask roses. If the last apostrophe had been addressed directly to herself, she could not have betrayed more con --?- ot.-:_i_i . t, _ u_if _.. sorbed Frederick a moment with a pecu liar expression, then unclasped the chain of gold about her neck, and dropped it into his lap.

"Thou must bo in love methinks, friend Frederick, or thou wouldst not be so blind?" she said, with the pretty Quaker accent which be libed so well. "Rachel Burns as I live!" he ejacu lated, in a maze of wonder. "What a. joke you have played on me, you daugh ter of Eve ! What a dolt I havo been ! How-when-whore ?" "Not convinced yet? Truly, friend Frederick, thou art somewhat skeptical." interrupted the Quaker's daughter, tak ing off ber ringlets of' gold, and holding them up to the astonished gaze of the bewildered gentleman. Now, indeed, it was his own Rachel, with her wealth of wavy chestnut hair ! It was incredible bow those odious red curia changed her !

EX-TREASURES PARKER'S ARREST Colonel wullara nutter's fcxp?dlt?ou Successful- The wiauuer tu which lt waa Accomplished from thc AV ir ) ort World of Sunday. , Ex?Treasurer Niles G. Parker is now on tho steamer Charleston rn route for Charleston, S. O. Colonel Wm. Huller, Chief Constable of thc State of South Carolina, arrived in this city early last week, the bearer of a requisition from Governor Hampton for ex-Treasurer 1'arker, and was very desirous that the latter should in no way get wind of his presence in the city. He took rooms'nt a privat* boarding'house until his meas ures of Parker's arrest and transfer to South Carolina could bo fully perfected Upon his arrival he at once put himself in communication with the brm of law Sers who are employed ns counsel for thc tate of South Caroona in this city, and also with 8heriff Laverty. of Jersey City." iMnkcrton's agency was employed to "shadow" tho ex-lreasurcr, and Sheriff Laverty was also desired to keep a close watch upon his movements. Ju order that there might be no difficulty in tho way of making the arrest when the prop er timo ?houlci bo decided upon, applica tion warvmal.o both to Governor Robin son and Governor Bedlc for warrants. Tho warrants wore granted ?nd the detectives were then ready to arrest Mr. Parker. Constable Butler was HO anxious that Parker should nut ,>rivo him tho slip Hint, while engaging Sheriff Laverty to have an eye to Parker's movements, he did not inform thc Sheriff that Pinker ton's detectives were also engaged in tho same watch. Consequently when the Sheriff was called upon by Slr. Butler to make tho arrest, he was somewhat sur prised to find that ho had boen antici pated by the detectives. . Parker lind undoubtedly boen expect ing tbnt a requisition would shortly bo Bent for him, although his sudden arrest was an unpleasant shock to him for tho timo. Ho lind kept himself quito closely shut up in his rooms for several days, and was occupying himself, as was well known, in closing his business connec tions and settling up his accounts as far as possible. On Wednesday morning ho came across the river into this city for the last time before his arrest, and since We?ln.\-;ilr.y ho llOS Only loft hlB llOUSO for a short walk in the evening, "onie time ago he expressed a wish to Sheriff Lav erty that ho might bo arrested in Jersey City, if a requisition should bo sent on, rather than in New York. He gnve nc reason for this preference, but tho Sherill supposes that ho oxpecteC assistance from his friends in Jersey City in the event ol his arrest, which would not be rondeied him so readily in this city. Shortly after he was ?nested Parkei communicated with a legal firm in Jer< sey City, as he toni tho Sheriff requesting that a writ of habeas corjnts should bc applied for. Aa ho response so far ni the Sheriff is aware, was received to this request, the Sheriff thinks that Parke: must have countermanded it an hour oi two later. The detectives made the ar rest designedly after court ? ours, in ordei that there might be R greater delay that otherwise in obtaining a writ of habew corpus, in case Application should bt made for ono. Constable Butler's first intention was to tako Parker South thai evening, by tho night express. Parkei entreated BO strongly, howover,. that h< might be allowed lo remain over nigh1 in Jersey City that ho might havj linn to communicate with his wife and frlendi beforo his departure, that the cohstabh was induced, after much hesitation, t< accede to his wish, on condition that n< v/?\ of habeas corni? emniid bo applier for in tho meantime. Parker promisee solemnly that he would go on to Charles ton tho next day without interposing sn; vexatious delays to tho execution of Gov Bedle's warrant, and was accorCi^sl; taken in charge by the Sheriff, .vin placed him in the county jail. He ob tai ned permission to telegraph tohiswif in Providence, R. I., of nts arrest, and t communicate also with his attorney, Mi Woodruff, of this city, and with severn of bis friends. Rev. Horace Eddy, D. D., of the Fin Free Union Church of Jersey City, c which Parker has been for some month a member In good standing, called uno him at the jail in tho evening, and h was.visited also by a number of h: friends in tho city. Several of his frient sought, ont Mr. Wm. D. Daly,- and n quested him tn nnply for a writ of habei eoroits on behalf of the prisoner. 'M Daly went to tho jail and consulted wit Parker in regard to this measure, but tl ex-Treasuror did not wish that auch writ should be applied for? and professe his entire readiness to stand his trial ! Charleston Or anywhere else In Soul 'Carolina. This disposition ort bia part probably to bo accounted for In a mer. uro , by the fact that he had receive'-' strong hint or implied USHUraneo ..fro Constable Butler that he would bo E lowed to tarn Stato's evidence. How f Mr. Butler ls warranted in so consolii Parker cannot bo known nt'prescht, ai it ?8 not known either whether'thia uss rance was in the form of* a distinct nroi iso or not.

WASHINGTON, October 16. FKLLOW ClTIEKNB Ol' TUB SENATE AND HOUSE OF llKPJtKaENTATivEa-The adjournment of tho last Congress, without making appropriations for the support of the army for tho present fiscal year has rendered necessary a .suspension of pay ments to the officers and men of sums duo them for services rendered after tho SOth day of Juno last. The 'army exists by virtue of statutes, which prescribo ?ta numbers; regulate its Organization and employment, and which' fix tho pay Of ita officers and men, and declare . their right to receive the r.uio at stated pe riods. These statutes, however, do not, authorize tho payment of troops in the absence or specific appropriations there 1 for. The constitution has wisely pro vided that "no money shall be drawfi ! from the treasury but in consequence'of appropriations made by law," and it has also been declared by statute that "no department of the government shall ex pend in any one fiscal your, a sum in ex cess of appropriations made by Congress for that fiscal year." ./ Wp have, there fore, au army in service, authorized by law and entitled to be paid, but no fund* available for that nurnoso.' lt mnv also bo said, au an additional incentivo'to prompt action by Congress, that, since the commencement of the fiscal year, tho army, though without pay, ha? bc-r. con? stantly and actively employed .ic arduous and daa.ccjrou" service, in the perform an?:, of which both officers and tr.ca,have discbirged their duty w:th fidelity ?nd courage, and without complaint; Theao circumstances, in my judgment, constitute an extraordinary occasion, re quiring that' Congress be convened in advance of the time prescribed bj law fer your meeting in regular session.
