DAILY NEWSPAPERS IN* THE FAMILY CIRCLE.-The value of a daily news? paper in a family circle can scarcely bc exaggerated. This is essentially true at this time, when tho daily pa? per has become the record of all that has transpired worthy of note, not on this continent only, but in Europe, duriug the twenty-four hours preced? ing its publication. But it is not merely a vehicle of news. It con? tains a vast amount of valuablo in? formation of all descriptions, many instructive essays, and comments on the news which it records. If intel? ligently conducted, it will provo a valuablo teacher, and a most impor? tant agent in advancing civilization and elevating the national character. A family of children who, for a se? ries of years, have had tho privilege of reading the well stored columns of a daily journal, will be far better pre? pared to enter upon the duties of life, will appear better in company, and acquit themselves much more credit? ably in the discussion of current to? pics, than if they had been suffered to grow up in ignorance of what was going on around them. Tho instruction of tho school-room is technical, and, while indispensable, necessarily fails to include a vast amount of knowledgo which comes under the head of general informa? tion, and is best and most pleasantly learned from tho journals of tho day. Besides this, a daily paper increases the attractions of home, adds to the variety and interest of home conver? sation, and in many cases induces father and son to remain at home in tho evening, when otherwise they might be seeking amusement abroad. Thus it exerts an excellent influ? ence, and powerfully aids parents in keeping children from outside tempt? ations. SUPPOSED CORPSE RESUSCITATED. A young lady of Quincey, Illinois, who has been ill for some time, died, as was supposed, a fow days ago, w? i coffined, and the body placed in tho family vault. Yesterday, ono of tho attendants heard, as he thought, sub? dued moans proceeding from tho vault, and immediately broke open the door of the tomb. Tho lid of tho coffin was removed, and . to tho as? tonishment and gratification of all, the young lady was found alive. Proper means wero taken to restore her, and she will undoubtedly reco? ver. THE COUNTESS MELUSINE* - -?.. BY MRS. H. WOOD. CHAPTER TV. Ono day Anthony Avas at tho Hall, as usual, in the bluo-and-silver boudoir. Tho Countess had never looked more beautiful than she did to-day and never more charming. Her manners had a warmer shade than usual, and were more familiarly caressing; and, for tho first time, she spoke of her private affairs. Hither? to she had 011I3' alluded incidentally to herself as the daughter of a prince with a barrow-load of consonants, and a name unpronounceable, by any but a compatriot; or as tho widow of the Count. She never gave his name, though the German Baron had written i? in his letter of intro? duction, but so ill, that whether it were Russian or Roumaic no ono on this side of Babel could tell. For the rest she was the Countess Melusine. From speaking of her parentage and condition, touching feelingly on the various troubles she had undergone, and letting her sweet eyes, beaded with heavy tears, rest lovingly on j Anthony's eager face as she spoke .of death and disappointment, and tho fresh heart's early sorrows, she glid? ed by easy transition into tlic more worldly matters of money and expense. Lightly and without com? plaint, laughing in her natural bird? like manner, she confessed to a tire? some momentary embarrassment, and to her need for a paltry three hundred pounds-just for a few days, certainly not longer than a week merely to pay an insolent tradesman who would not wait lier convenience. And then she appealed to her cher Monsieur Antoine to tell hot-she so ignorant of English business-how she could raise that three hundred pounds for see-touching her brace? lets and pointing to her furniture what grand security she had to offer and jewels and plate, sho had often heard men say, were only consoli? dated "bank-notes. And again sh? laughed; but her cheeks were palm than before, and her dark-brown eye? were troubled. . Anthony's whole fortune was jusl one compact three hundred pound; -his, though his sister dealt with i as her own, even sometimes, whet irreflectively irate, threatening tc leave it away to strangers. Sinipl? boy! he had told this to tho Countes: the very first visit he had paid her but he had forgotten now; und he: request came as an unhoped-for op portunity to be of service. Eager proud, glad, he spoke to her of thi sum, which to him seemed, as it was a fortune. "And would she no honor him by taking it? She migh repay it at her leisure, for he conk scarcely hope that she would bono him so fur as to accept his little offer ing as a gift, let he would be s< glad, so proud, to offer it. Wouh she not, then, render his whole lif I blessed with tho remembrance tha once lie had been enabled to spar her half an hour's embarrassment "Would she not prove the sincerity 0 her friendship for han, and test th loyalty of his devotion, by sufferin, him to aid her? Oh, would sho no grant him this, when, if need be, h would aid her with his life?" Powerfully moved, but respectfr as ever, he took her pliant hand an pressed it between his own, all hi honest love in his eyes and quiverin like sun-light over his face. The lady eye flashed with a painful, hal: frightened glauce; she looked fcai fully at the door, then bent forwar with a caressing movement, as if t thank him. And then a longing loving look veiled that painful glanc< her cheek Hushed, her lip quiverec and tears gathered up into lier eye: She laid her baud on tho boy's fon head, and, with a voice full' 1 genuine tenderness, said sadly: "N< no, my poor child, not you!" '?'Mandile bete!''' growled Justin? tho maid, watching the scene throng the key-hole. "She shall pay fi 'thia!" That touch sealed Anthony's fat He Hung himself at her feet; bo di not know what bo said, scarcely win he felt; he only knew that the barril was broken down, and that the loi which had hidden deep in his hear scarcely daring to confess itself in tl silence of his own thoughts, no leapt foi th into the like of words. Tho Countess Melusine Avas usc to hear men talk of love, but this, w; something diiTerent to her uses. SI listened gently, tenderly, and tea mort; than once fell from her eye Then stooping forward, HO that h scented bair fell lightly over the y oui face upturned to hers, sho put li arms, Avith a gesturo of almost m ternal tenderness, rouud his nee and, kissing his forehead, said softl "My child, my poor boy, you kne not Avbat you ask-yow know n Avhom you IOA-C! I had a little drea of escape, Antoine," she whisper?] "but that-" "Madame, est ser eic," sakV Justin entering abruptly. That night, a ruffianly-looking in drove up to tho Hall door. "Tho gamo is up, my lady!" said, insolently, sweeping up some tho more portable valuables. "Th Avili be here to-morroAv nmrnir Come, you will have no timo to wa Get together all of your best-t rest must go. Sapristi! what is s at now?" be cried, as tho Count? stood pale, and as if stunned. ' 'Con come, madame, none of those airs you please! Bnstlo about, and h< Justine there; and if I find that y have not played your part well, you ko ow what you have to expect. How now! Justine! Justine! quick! tho fool has fainted!" Beforo the morning, tho Hall was deserted. Noiselessly, and without disturbing the English servants, the three accomplices withdrew ; and by the time the noon-day sun brightened over Stoneleigh, a couple of detectives held Oakfell, and every soul in tho place knew tho story. "Tricked, by Jove!" cried old Mr. Smith; "and my threo thousa- di" "And mine!" swore young Mr. Briggs, with a largo per ceutago of expletives. The Hopgoods said very little. It never came out publicly whether they and tho Joneses had been swindled or no, or, if they had, to what extent. Only Mrs. Hopgood complained to her daughters, some months after, that their dear papa had grown very close lately, very, and that she was afraid ho had met with some heavy losses unknown to her; and Mr. Jones rodo over to tho County Bank tho morning after the explosion, and spoke privately to the manager. The Hopgoods wrote to Baron Gulden stern to leam mora of his fascinating friend and protege; but, as soon as the post could bring it, they got an answer, saying that he knew nothing whatever of any Countess Melusine, wife or widow, and certainly gavo no lotter of introduction to such a per? son for his good friends tho Hop goods, or any one else; but, ho added, about four years ago, he, as well as all Baden, had been victimized by a certain beautiful Madame la Baronne Melusino and her sister Justine, who ! acted as her maid, both of whom be? longed to ono of the, cleverest and best-organized bands of swindlers in Franco or Germany. And perhaps his good friends the Hopgoods had been visited by these worthy people, who unfortunately had got into his confidence and purse; when, if so, adieu to all hope of reclamation of Britannic gold! That letter was tho Hopgood's writ of exculpation. By it they obtained public forgiveness for their tremen? dous mistake in having stood spon? sors for an impostor to tho choice society of Stoneleigh, and public sympathy for their supposed, victim? ization completed their white-wash? ing. "'Then sho did cheat at cards, after all!" cried Mr. Jones. "I had my suspicions all along; but who would have listoued to thom? Indeed, how could I have tested them? She was deep and beutiful enough to have cheated the-ahem! She was, though, tho little baggage!" with in? dignant reminiscences of the blue and-silver boudoir, and of the heaps of lies piled up on his innocent wife's brain. "And that's why she always fought j so shy of me!" laughed Captain Mac? Arthur. "I saw her onco or twice, under tho title of Madamo la Ba? ronne, at Baden. She was just be? ginning her career when I was leav? ing. Lord! lord! what fools wo have all been!" That evening, a moro painful ru? mor ran through Stoneleigh. It was said that young Anthony Carthew bad destroyed himself; some said poisoned; others that ho had hung himself; and others detailed a circum? stantial account of how he had blown out his brains. But all agreed that he was lying dead in tho boudoir at Oakfell Hall. And, too surely, there he lay, pale, beautiful and lifeless, on the very spot where, ODly yesterday, he had passed through the courts of paradise. A letter in Italian, pray? ing for forgiveness, and ending with "/o V amo," a lock of shining chest? nut hair, and a faded boquet were in his hand; and on the sofa, beside the torn envelope of a package, lay a valuablo diamond ring. The Count? ess, before they left the house, found means to make up this packet, which she threw, unobserved, into tho little j garden beforo Anthony's house, as thoy passed it in tho gray dawning. The ring was the most valuablo piece of property she had, and its loss en? tailed on her both insult and ill-treat? ment. An inquest was held, but neither poison nor mark of violence was dis? covered. A ruptured vessel in tho heart sufficiently accounted for the death. Perhaps it was as well. The sun had set for the poor boy forever. What joy would ho have had through a long, unending night? As the funeral passed the house of Lawyer Blair, Nelly, in her new mourning, looking up from making apple-jelly, wiped her eyes, and said, sobbing: "Poor Authony! poor fel? low! he was very handsome and clever, and all that; but see how foolish. Poor Anthony; I am sure I loved him as much as I could. He need not have gone after a foreign swindler like that. Oh, Sarah, Sarah," in a tono of anguish, "what are you doing? Don't you know how apple jelly burns if you don't keep on stir? ring it? and you with tho spoon out, gaping like that? Como, givo it to me, do, and go and set tho tea." Tho Mobile . courts have decided that when a man steals cotton, its valuo must be reckoned in specie, to decido whether it be grand larceny and a felony, or only a misdemeanor. A man had stolen 509 pounds of cot? ton, which was worth $125 in green? backs, $25 more than grand larceny theft, but only $83 in specie, so that the thief is only guilty of a misde? meanor, and gets off by paying $200 fine, instead of going to}the peniten? tiary. The Right Triumphant. Tho machinations of demagogues, tho frantic appeals of mischief-mak? ing revolutionists, tho recklessness of law-defying public functionaries and tho adroit chicane of accomplished and unscrupulous lawyer?, are all in vain against the settled purpose of tho peoplo to sustain the right. Tho citizens of Baltimore have earned the eternal gratitudo of the American people. No people have ever been moro sorely tried. No peoplo have ever berne themselves more nobly against their oppressors. A handful of men, claiming to be the simon pure loyalists of tho city, though somo of them wero leaders in inciting the popular storm which cul? minated in the riot of 18G1. got pos? session of tho city government through a system of legislation that, however well adapted to an era of war. was by no means consonant with tho spirit of peace, aud sought to perpetuate their power by the most iniquitous disfranchisement of their fellow-citizens, on the plea that they were disloyal. They refused to regis? ter lawiul voters. They excluded from tho ballot-box thoso who were justly entitled to tho right of suf? frage, under a severely restrictive enactment. They countenanced cor? rupt judges of election and bitterly partisan registers of voters, and they sought to evade tho punishment duo their wrong-doing by keeping in power a board of police, in defiance of tho action of the Executive, and availed themselves of apartisar judge, once a pronounced secessionist, to imprison thoso who were lawfully ap? pointed police commissioners, and to arrest the course of justice; and in the midst of their iniquity, leagued them? selves with tho wholesale slanderers of their State, who were summoning tho citizens of adjoining States to armed interf?rence with tho affairs of Maryland. All these outrages the citizens of Baltimoro have borne not tamely, not without irrepressible indignation, hut withont violence. They have kept themselves in due subordination to the law, and have bided their time. At the polls, yes? terday, they administered a memora? ble, overwhelming rebuke to the cunning plotters and unscrupulous demagogues, both in and out of the State, who, to perpetuate the power of a party, would not hesitate to light the flames of another civil war. We congratulate Baltimore find the State of Maryland on overthrowing a law? less faction, which, professing the purest loyalty, was guided by tho most reckless selfishness, and espe? cially do we congratulate the con? servative leaders and tho masses upon tho forbearance, the self-control, the patriotism and the respect for law which gild their triumph with its I proudest memories, i [National Intelligence}', 1th. NEW GLASSES FOR WEAX EYES.-A recent discovery, that was purely sci? entific in its Origin, bas led to a fur? ther discovery of means of relief for persons who aro troubled with weak eyes. Some, time since, it was made known to the Paris Academy of Sci? ences that a lens, or glass, covered ! with a thin film of silver leaf, would enable a person to gaze at tho sun through, it without the usual painful dazzle, and glare. More recency, the Academy received a communication from another member, in which he described au application of the above mentioned discovery for the protec? tion of weak eyes. His own sight had been impaired in the course of some chemical experiments, so that the light had become painful to him, and he had recourse to the ordinary colored spectacles used in such cases. He used spectacles with black glasses, at first; ho then put green glasses over the black ones. These answered tolerably well, but he ultimately took a set of bluo glasses, which ho had covered, as above, with a thin film of j silver leaf. These answered tho best j of all, and afforded him the relief he j was seeking after. A film of gold leaf over che glasses has a similar effect. The light transmitted is very plea? sant, especially in tho caso of gold leaf. Tho latter, when yellow, lets green light pass; when green, (that is, alloyed with silver,) the eye re? ceives blue light. He, therefore, thinks that persons laboring under the inconvenience of weak e3'es will derivo great relief from spectacles so prepared. BURGLAR PROOF GUN.-Tho inven? tivo genius of our townsman, John Wilson, Esq., seems irrepressible, j A short time ago, ho met with the , misfortune of having his office rob ! bed, and straightway he improvised j a gun, which will prove a safe-guard against like occurrences. The gun is so constructed and arranged that tho thief, upon entering tho room where it is "set," will shoot himself before he knows it. No matter what portion of the room is entered, a few paces in any direction will touch a wire, and instantly the barrel is pointed upon the lino of the wire, and an explosion ensues which must, in nine cases out of ten, bring down tho intruder. [ A nderson Intelligencer. Mr. Lareintre, formerly Secretary of the Mexican Legation under Mi? nister McLane, has recently returned from Chihuahua, and denies, through the columns of tho New Orleaus Picayune, that Juarez has consented to part with any portion of Mexican territory, in consideration of assist? ance to bo rendered him by the United States Government in re-es? tablishing the Mexican Republic. BEAUTIFUL.-"When, tho summer day of youth is slowly wasting away into tho nightfall of age, and tho shadows of tho past years grow deeper and deeper, as life wears io a close, it is pleasant to look back through the vista of time upon the joys aud sorrows of our earlier years. If we have a home to shelter and hearts to rejoice with us, and friends who have been gathering around our firesides, then the rough places of our wayfaring will be worn and smoothed away in the twilight of life, while the bright, sunny spots we have passed through will grow brighter and more beautiful. Happy indeed aro they whose intercourse! with the world ha's not changed the course of their hch?r feelings, cr broken those musi? cal chords of the heart whose vibra? tions are so melodious, so tender and touching in tho evening of age. in the case of the schoolmaster at Charlestown, Mass., who was charged with assault and battery for whipping Miss Josephine Foster, one of his pupils, which was tried before the Superior Court at Lowell, last week, tho jury, after two hours' session, returned a verdict of acquittal. It is understood .that on thc first ballot the jury stood niuo for acquittal to three for conviction. Tho Caddo (La.) Gazette deplores the disposition of tho planters to hoard up gold, instead of selling their cotton for currency, and investing it, in works of usefulness, such as im? provements on their farms, factories and forges, railroads, &c. It says that in Texas and upper Louisiana they will bo compelled to buy cur? rency hero to pay their United States taxes. Gov. Swann said, in his speech at Baltimore, on tho night of the elec? tion, that Mr. Johnson gavohim carte blancTie to uso tho United States troops, but that be felt that, if he should use them, he "might bo placing a weapon in the hands of radical enemies of tho President and of the country, to bc used as a ground of impeachment by them." It is .stated that the negroes who killed Mrs. Garvin and daughter, near Orangeburg, wero hung on the 10th instant, by the citizens. Tho freedmen were so incensed against the perpetrators of the outrage, that they wanted to burn the murderers, but were prevented by the whites. Tho Democracy of thc city of New York covered themselves with glory. They elected all their Congressional candidates, twenty-one Assemblymen, their entire County ticket, with ono exception, and gave their candidate jor Governor tho magnificent ma fority of 46,000. All honor to them. It is said that quite a number ot" the Governors of the Southern States have addressed letters to the Presi? dent, asking for his opiniou as to what the Southern States ought to do, and it is said that he has the matter under advisement now. Oat Hill, formerly the property of Chief Justice Marshall, has been finally sold, under a decree of the Circuit Court, to Mr. Knight, of Maryland.
