I. With my wife sind daughter, I was making a tour through Europe. We had seen the sights in London and Paris, had gazed with rapture on the vine-clad banks of tin. Rhine, and at length we were enjoying the rotnatl tic scenery of Lake Zurich. We had started early one morning on an ex cursion to a distant village, and did not return until late in the afternoon, consequently I did not know of the new arrivals. We had music in our private par lor that evening, and among the songs which my daughter sang was the old-fashioned one, "On the .Mar gin of r'nir Zurich's Waters." The song caused mi; to think of my sister, who had joined the heavenly choir, long years before. It had been a favorite of mine, and she had often sung it for me. My daughter was vcry~much like her Aunt, and that evening she wore a white rose in her hair, which made the resemblance still more striking. I was so much depressed by old mem ories, that I could not remain in the room, so lighting a cigar, I went on the terrace. As I stepped out, I encountered an old friend who had arrived that day. After exchanging .salutations he said, "a friend and myself were at tracted by the singing and we have been guilty of the rudeness of looking through the window, at the fair singer. When my companion saw the young lady, he clutched my arm, and he was much affected by the last song. lie had walked away, just before you made your appearance-, but nut tfhtil ho*" had nskfcd nie to ascertain the name of the lady, and if possible secure him an introduction." What is your friend's name? 1 asked. "Col. .James Cordrny," he replied. Great Heavens! I exclaimed. Do you call that man your friend? "1 only made his acquaintance a few weeks ago, in Paris. Hois such a genial whole-soul fellow, that I feel quite a friendship for him. Some of our party have hiutcd that he is vio lent when in his cups, but 1 have uever seen him under the influence of liquor. Do you know anything about I him? asked Philip Morris. Yes, 1 know that he is a scoundrel aud a murderer. The thought that his eyes should rest on my daughter, and that he should wish to make her acquaintance, almost maddens inc. I am not surprised that he should be startled at the sight id' one who so closely resembles his victim. He has heard that song in other days, from lips now cold and still. "I hope you arc mistaken," said Norris, "this man has so much the appearance of an honorable gentle man, that it is hard for me to believe him tobe a murderer. 1 wish you would tell me all you know of him." I am too much excited to talk now, I said, but come to me in an hour, and I will pro e my words. I had calmed myself, and my wife and daughter had retired, when Philip Norris entered our parlor. This narrative w:ll be painful to me, I said, but I want you to under stand, that 1 have good reasons for hating that man. When I was leu years old, 1 was on a visit to my grandparents. During that lime, a sis ter was born. All thoseyc-rs I had been an only child, and I naturally had a great, desire to sec the new comer. In my mind, lean see my mother as she stco 1 in the vine-cov ered porch with the babe in hcrnrms, ?m the afternoon of my return home. After embracing her, and kissing my sister, I asked what is her name? "Rose," replied my mother. I shall call her White Kose, I said, for see how she is clutching at that spray of white, roses, just within iu her reach, and ever after, she was White Rose to me. I loved my sister I almost to idolatry. She grow up as sweet and pure an her namesake rose. She was only seventeen when she was wooed by James Cord ray. I had known him from his boyhood, and no young man stood higher in pub lie estimation. After his lather's death lie had removed to a distant part of the State and I had lost sight of him for near five years. When he came to visit us, I saw no change in him, and my sister's youth was the only objection we made to an immed ate marriage. We would have been glad to have kept our darling with tis always, but thinking she \ ould marry at some time, and knowing no man we pre ferred to .lames Cord ray, wo consent ed to their marriage. Our White Rose had never had a wish ungratilled, and we thought we were conducing to her happiness. Her bridal robe was looped with white roses, and she wore a wreath id' the same Mowers on her head. Her husband took her to his home, and wo did not see her again until my own marriage, in less than a year after, was the occasion of a visit from them. I was too much absorbed in my own happiness, to notice any change in my sister, but my mother after wards, expressed her fears to me, that our darling was unhappy, She thought her husband was wanting in those attentions which a wife had a right to expect. There was nothing in her letters to excite our suspicion, so I concluded my mother was mistaken in her sup position. Another year passed. We did not receive letters as frequently, as form erly, but they were the same tiHcctiori ate epistles when-they did come Then there was u longer interval than usual, and at length h letter was received from a lady, who wrote, that my sister was ill and her husband was absent, no one knew where, i:: an hour I was on my way to our darling. My White Rose, should not droop all alone, she should come to the hiv ing hearts which were yearning for her. On my arrival I was met by an old lady, the writer id'the letter, who told inc all she knew of the cruel treat ment my sister had received from her husband. 1 had been completely deceived in the man. He was a drunkard, and a liend when under the inlluencc of liquor. My sister, who had been so tender ly nurtured, who had never heard a harsh word in her life, had been sub jected to the grossest indignities. Her husband in his drunken fury, had more than once used violence to her. Instead of cherishing and pro tecting her. he had hurled her to the lloor, and had left the house with boinc of his inebriate companions, while she was in tin uneoncious state. When Mrs. Moore heard of her con dition, she went to her, and after wards wrote to us, without her know ledge. When 1 went to my sinter's room I found her as whitens her robe. She extended her emaciated arms, but was loo weak, to utter a word. 1 told her, mother wanted to sei* her, and had sent me for her. "I am not strong enough lo go," she said. I will lake you in my arms, 1 re plied. The white roses are blooming, and I want you lo see how beautiful they are. Site smiled faintly. Ah! the sweetest of all roses was lying there withering-?dying, crush ed by the one who should have loved her above all others! To have shortened her days with a pistol ball would have been called murdei' The breaking of a woman's heart is not set down in the calendar of crimes; but it is nevertheless mur der in the sight of Heaven. While the necessary preparations were being made for my sister's re moval, I wrote on my card these words, "Whenever we meet, one of us must die.1' I placed it in aconspicious place, where J thought James Cor dray would see itou his return.

Not even a lawyer, however skill ful in cross examination, can make a witness tell the truth provided the witness wishes to evade it. It is im p issiblc to put a question in such ex a< t language that it will demand the desired answer. It was necessary, on a certain occasion in court to com pel a witness to testify as to the way in w hic h a certain Mr. Smith treated his horse: "Well, sir," said the lawyer, with a sweet and winning smile?a smile intended to drown all suspicion as to all ulterior purposes?"how does Mr. Smit.hjgenernlly ride a^horse?" The witness looked up innocently ami replied: "Generally astraddle sir, T be lieve." The lawyer asked again: "But sir, w hat gait does he ride?" imperturblc wituess answered: "He never rides any gait at all, sir, but I've seen his boys ride every gate on thejann." The lawyer saw that he was on the track of a tartar and his next ques tion was very insinuating: "How dots Mr. Smith ride when .he is in company with others? I de mand a clear answer!" I "Well, sir, he keeps up with the rest, if his horse is able to, or if uot h?- rolls behind. ' The lawyer was by this time al most beside himself and asked: "And how does he ride when he is alone?" "I don't know," was the reply; "I was never with him when he was alone." And there the case w as dropped. A daily visitor to the cage of a handsome canary in the otllce of the Philadelphia Time* is a mouse. He is welcomed by a song, and as he eats the seed and drinks the water from the cups, the bird gives evidence of his being a favored guest. After hie meals he frequcnthy plays about the bottom of the cage an hour. The National Bank of Adams, New York, has gone into liquidation. NOKTHJUUf MORALS. Recently we spoke of an effort in Connecticut to enact a law reviving tlie whippingpost to provide u pun ishment for men who bent their wives. The advocacy of the measure impli ed the necessity of it. The demand for the whipping post dees not seem to be couliucd to Connecticut but the question of its revival is now agitat ing the people of Indiana. It is signi ficant that the same reason is alleg ed to exist there as in New Englaud. Wife beating has become so common that this severe and degrading pun ishment must be called iuto requisi tion. We regret to observe such a lamentable condition of morals in any section of our common country. Things must be terribly out of joint, where such despicable meai n 'ss can demand public attention. The man must he depraved, indeed who could strike his wife?the mother^of his children. There must be something radically wrong about the morals and religion of Indiana as well as New England. It is more noticeable because of their repeated claims to being better than others. Is it nut a duty for Christian people in this sec tion to send missionaries to that re gion. The tield is large and the op portunities many for good work.? Abbeville "Medium. SCE EH AT JACKSON'S INAUGURA TION. De tcribing the scenes'at President Jackson's inauguration, a letter in the Washington Star axytr. Mr. Webster, writing from Washington, says: "I never saw such a crowd here before. Personsjhavc conic 500 miles to see General-Jackson." Judge Story writes: "After the cere mony was over the Prcsidcnt'wcnMo j the palace to receive company, and there he was visited by immense crowds of all sorts of people, from the highest and most polished down to the most vulgar and gross in the na tion. I never saw such a mixture. The reign of King Mob seemed tri umphant. I was glad to escape from the scene as soon as possible." No doubt Story was glad to escape; he was a bit ter opponent of Jackson, and it was uot to be expected that he could enjoy these festivities. "A profusion of refreshments," writes participants, had been provided. Orange punch was made by barrels full; but as the waiters opened the doors to bring it out, a rush was i made, the glasses broken, the pails [ of liquor upset and the most painful confusion prevailed. To such a pain ful degree was this carried that wine and iec-cream could not be brought out to the ladies, and tubs of punch were taken from the lo\v< r story into the garden to lead off the crowd from the rooms. Men with boots on, heavy with mud, stood on the damask-satin covered chairs in their eagerness to I get n look at'thePresident." . -- I It is believed that Chicago audSt. Louis will together send to England this season over two million dollars worth of wild game. A 'single] firm in St. Louis recently filled nn order for the London market for 1,(500 doz ens of quails, 1,700 dozens of prairie chickens, and 700 dozens of wild turkeys. The South is adopting the proper policy to whip the North: Not by war nor by politics, but by manufac tures. It is bound to come to that complexiou at last, and from present appearances it is coming soon.? Lexington Dispatch.
