A SAFE INVESTMENT. In the second year of the late civil war, I wt? married, and went to live with my hus? band in a email village on the Hudson, some fifty .or sixty mi iee from Hew York. The noose we occupied w&e a large, rambling mansion, of considerable antiquity for this country, and stood a little apart from the rest of the vffiage, surrounded by broad fields, and com? manding a glorious view of tbe river and the bide of the Highlands. It had been -built be? fore the Rovolotiorx, by my husband's great? grandfather, and, ''though destitute of many "modern improvements," waa still a comfort a- I ble and'pleaaant residence. My husband was a lawyer and a large real eerate-owner la the neighborhood, and, at the period of which I write, was greatly perplexed, like many other persons in the North, hy tbe perilous state of the tunee, and especially about the safe investment of his funds, as tba. suspension of specie payments, the great rise ia gold, and the inihtary disasters in Virginia, made it almost impossible to tell where it would be safe t? deposit or to use one's money in any large amount. In the course of hie transactions in real es? tate, it happened, one day that he received what was for na thea a large sum, about ten j thousand, dollars, winch he nought borne and placed in my charge, telling sae at the Barrie' fimo that he would have to be absent during tho ?renme, attending to some busin ese on the other side of the river, and should sot be at home until about midnight. J "Von can pjaoe tte money in the safe, dear," J beeafd, ?0 he gave :t to me, "and to-morrow IJ wiH'-try and' find eome way to invest it se-j .t&ea'ying, ie stepped ?Et0 the boggy, which } ?#??8t?Dding at, the door, and drove away, tatong with him ocr hired man ttilae, and lear ing. me with no one in the bouse bot Dinah, I an old colored woman, who fulfilled ic our) modest household the functions of cook and eaaid-of-ah-work. ae sba had lcmg done in the nundy of my own parents, who, OD my marri-1 a*re. had .Yielded her to me as a valuable part I <tf My dower. ; .lUnaa ?as indeed a character. She was tall I and vexy.stout, Weiching, she never would tell how snob, sore than two hundred pound**! She waa very black, and as lazy as she war i . black. Ido not think any one could move ?ore deliberately tb an Dinah did that is, to J .r move at all. And by a wonderful dispensa- j ti on, abe seemed to feel that whatever her I other faults might be, she was strong on the pom t of locomotion. For when she had been ( stoving with a ponderous slowness, almost j maddening to a person of ordinary quicknese, one of ber favorite expressions was. "Well, I Hiss Lillie, what shall 1 fly ont o next ?" How I ah? accomplished all sbe did, the brownies only know. We used sometimes to tremble when there was any special burry about our I . domestic arrangements, and yet Dinah al-1 ways rnAnigtxi to br in? affairs to a cona um m3- j tion jost when a minute mofe would have I v ruined everything; and, with undisturbed front, would slowly enunciate, "Weh, miss, whaiahalll fly onto next?-' . I lt was hearty' dark when my husband de- f parted,- and after giving my orders to Dinah, or rather my sugfreaiioas, I lent her, and I made the tour of the boase, to see that all was I ?afb and^properly looked up. Thie da tv it tended to, I went io my .bedroom, toteada? 1 to pass toe time in reading until my husband [ should return. I It waa a large room on the ground floor, with twp Frenen windows opeoing on a broad I vefanoal The wmdo.TS were draped wi tb long I yeUow srllk emrtainst between which the moon Hgjhjt faintly nWWOipBtwmJ hy thtvahawdow of the roof^f the- pitzza, -and pirrtlyr-mtex espted by tbfe fnng* cf wcodbine- which bone from lt.

How ma nv hafr^ seines it had reflected in the hundred ysBHsdt had stood there ! The night was exceedingly bot, and I there? fore left the windows open, though I drew the entrains, before I se ried myself at the table hi the contre of the loom, lighted the. candles, and began to read, in order to pass the heavy time before the retirxn of my hnsbind. A^era while I heard the clock strike nine, at wbich boar Dinah always went to bed. Her chamber W*B ia the '?tiie, the third story of the house. Berne rnbenng some household mat ter? about ?hieb I wished to speak to her, I started hsRieaty up? and went into tba entry to iDtanJept bax baiore Bbegot up etaira. I had to wait about a minute before she came, ac dour-colloquy continued three or four min- , utea more. - - . . ^. . When I returned to my bedroom, feeliog somewhat tired, I reeoivod to go to bed, aa, at that Tate hour in the country, it was quite oer :.? ?arin that no visit?n woold call, and my hus ? band could let himieJf in with the latch-key, which be always camed. I thought, however, that ' ?"would try to keep: awake bj reading, and aocoTdm^phcbda light-stand acd the candles at the bead of my bed.

I thought also of the money, and was nob altogether wil? ling to resign that without an effort to save it, ani to have at least some clew to the identity of.tbe. thief.

I made my breathing recular, ania & little louder than when I was awake, and lay with my | cheek on my band, counterfeiting sleep. At last the btUrnem became more terrible tban even my first agony of fear. Me ver al times I fancied I heard a soft sien approach from tho place of concealment. As often 1 was deceived. Then ag iio that dreadful stillness, m which J counted the ticking of the watch through the pillow. It was a positive relief when he came ont from behind the curtain, stopped at the table, and stood looking at me, as I waa well aware tbough my eyes were closed. I forced mynelf to breathe regularly and audibly, fie came closer: be bent over me. He passed the lighted-candle slowly before my face two or three times. I felt the -cat, and saw the light borough my closed '.de, which moat have quivered, tbough be did not seem to observe j their motion. Heaven gave me strength not ?tb', move orto cry ont. Satiefled, apparently, ! be put back the candlestick- on tbe stand, and hie hand crent softly and H lowly under the pil? low, and, one by one, he removed my watch and tbe -key of-the safe. He stood so long loosing at me that I felt impelled to open my eyeB suddenly upoa him. As be walked softly toward the safe. I did parity open them, and cautiously watched him through my- eyelashes. I heard him fumb? ling with the lock, and once be looked over toward the. bed. My eyes were wide open, but I closed them in time not- to be detected. "Watching him stealthily, I s ?KW- him open the door of the safe, go back: to the stand for the candle, and return to the safe, which be on - tared without withdrawing the key from the lock. Here was the opportunity far whiob I bad waited and watched. I sprang lightly from the bed, with one bound reached tbe sate, dashed thedoor to. turned the key, and with ons loud shriek fell prostrate and senseless on the ?cor of the dari room. How long I lay upon the floor I don't know probably tor a fe v minutes only-but as 1 was un?onreloua, it seemed, when I carno to my - sell, pp if the interval had.been a long one. I was aroused by bis blows upon the iron door, an 1 found m J self weak after tbe long nervous ten- - sion, but atilt calm. I remember the eatisfoc Hoi with wbiob I thought," while I lay there | before rising, tbcthe could not escape, mingled with a vague tad foolish dread that be might in hie rage turn the valuable contents of the safe. , He pbnnded desperately on the door, and swore fearfully at finding himself- en-J trapped. Bot as took no notice of his outcries, ? he'soon grew quiet: 1 Presently I rose, and light icc a cindie, dressed myself with vail possible haste and with trembling, fingers, turning often to ? ?k At the safo, from nader tbe closed jr ol which I more than half expected to see blood trickling-why. I cannot tell, except that my mind was full of images of horror. I was soon in readiness. I ' had no means of as oemmfog thc tim e, as he had my watch in his pocket) and (here was no oiock in the room, raking the candle I hastened to aroaee Dinah, who, as I shook her, slowly opened her eyes and with scarcely' any more than ber usual Sowoess pronounced her formula: "Wei], Miss ?be, what shall fly-Lord a* massy 1 what's de matter; widde chile ? Yon ain't seen a ghost -have you honey ?" I "No, Dinah; but I've seen something worse than a ghost. Tve ca osrbt a robber, and hf's io the ejfe. What time ie it ?" and looking at the clock, that ticked slowly and dslibetateJy as how could Dinah's clock belp doing?-I saw to my great relief that it waa nearly mid? night. I We had scarcely cot down ature when I heard the Bound of wheels. A -moment rn re and my hu?band was ia my arms, listening with amazement to a rapid narrative of my singular adventure, i.sfoaldnot Buffer bim to open the safe until Silas bad summoned assist? ance from tbe neighboring houses. I feared that my desperate prisoner would still escape When the ?afe was opened, there sat my bur? glar on the trnak, half stupefied for want of air, a knife in one hand, the package of money LD the other, and the baroed-out candle at his feet. He was recognized as an old offender, who .had not bsen long ont of mate prison; to wbic a, in doe course ot law, be was soon Bent back for a term o? yeaiB, wbiobl devoutly hope may last as long as he lives; for 1 confess I should not feel easy to hear that he was again ?t 1 ai ge. The look of rage he gave me on coming ont ct the safe will not soon be obliterated from my memory. !

The Bales of the week have been ieee bales. The stock on hand at the close of the market yesterday was 8419 oales of uplands and 348 bales sea Islands-from the former figures, 25 bales, and irom the latter 150 bales must be de? ducted, being tho amount burned on the 9th of March.

The sales were loo bales; middling 18*c. SBA ISLAND.-There has been but very little done In this class of the staple for the past week, and most of the cotton on hand is held for better prices.

The last week has been the dullest ,of the present cotton season. Holders have steadily refused to offer, In the hope that prices wonldadvance, and the little sold was only to realize money that bad to.be raised on any terms within the bounds of reason. The demand has bees light .all the week and confined to the beat grades of ootton. In the lower grades the dif? ference in prices ls greater than lt was daring the winter months, and the demand for this class of cotton ls very limited, Indeed. On the week's operations prices have fallen off In this market l*c per pound on middling cotton-the market closing duh this evening at 17c. .COTTON STATEMENT.

A BROADSIDE FOE HUMBUGS. Incompetence and assurance generally go band LD band, and of all the tribe of pr?tentions know-notbtngs with which society ls afflicted, the unscientific "medicine men" who attempt to. tamper with the health of the commnnity are the most dangerous and the most impudent. So much by way of text. Now for a special and particular application. It appears that a mushroom growth or sa called "Bittere" ls springing up under different names in various localities, particularly in the Southern and Western States, which the venders have the hardihood to recommend ;o easy-going people upon whom they rhlnk they can impose, as a sub? stitute for HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTER?, long recognized by every class as the purest and best medicated stimulant and lovlgorant the world affords. The concoctions referred to being composed of worthless materials, offer a larger margin for profit than that Celebrated Tonic, and hence the anxiety of dollar-worshipping lealers to foist them upon the public in its place. But "forewarned is forearmed," and all par? ties whom these distinguished fr) "beings are en? deavoring to coax and inveigle into substituting j trash for a standard remedy, are hereby inform- j ed of the selfish and sordid motives which under? lie the representations m question. The great popularity and vast sales of HOSTET? TER'S BITTERS cannot, of course, be seriously impaired by these "tricks of trade," but as the debilitated and suffering have a direct Interest In the matter, lt 1s only an act of common hu? manity to put them on their guard. Jalyl-DACO_ ?&-m NOTHING DO MEN APPROACH | BO newly to the Oo?< as in giving health co men, says Cicero. Health ls thc vital power animating all the en? joyments of lire, which are insipid and tasteless, nay dead without it. A man starves at the most sumptuous feast, is indifferent to tue most costly and delicate wines-wretched amidst thc greatest wealth and grandeur. With the ordinary and fashionable diseases we dally meet with, such as dyspepsia, debility, pre? mature decay, shattered nerves, et td omne genus, strength becomes decrepit ade, youth is deprived of its vigor, and beauty of all Its charms. Music ls discord, and conversation vapid and spiritless; riches utterly useless, and honors and attendance embarrassing and burdensome. Ill health equalizes and levels ail conditions of ] life, making no ci.terence between thc banker; and the beggar, for each i"?ls as miserable and wretched as the other. The approximate cause GI this distressing condition is, in a majority or crises, attributable to a breaking down of the digestive and secretary apparatus. Vitalize the one and regulate the other; strengthen and sus? tain the one, and stimulate and modify the other. This can be readily done by having recourse to a health glving alterative vegetable tonic, that will restore thc dilapidated system, and rouse and re? awaken the dormant corporeal and mental ener? gies, endowing the digestive apparatus with new vigor, and enlisting oil the secretary organs to a rightful discharge of their functions. This good work it ls the office of SOLOMONS'S BITTERS to perform, comfortably, satisfactorily and perfectly. nail, robust Health l Thoa chiefest good Bestowed by Heaven, but seldom understood. jun28-tu:hR3 ps- DO NOT TAKE OUR WORD, BUT TRY IT.-Ur. 3.
