PAUL SMITH'S WAIT. Paul Smith was a poor old man. He bad a back room iu the top of a noisy lodging house, where he slept nights aud munched his meals of bread aud cheese—or Bologna sausage when he could afford it—aud from whence ho crept, as harmless and unnotic ed as a tly, dowu the comer of a dingy street, to the little music shop of Carl Brett man, a German settler.

Her foot was on the top step, when the animals sprang and flung her violently from her foothold. But for the sudden act of your niece, who received my mother in her strong young arms, the fall mighthave proved a fetal one. My mother at onoe en tered a shop, and keeping your niece near her, sentfor me. I came to-day, at my mother's earnest request, to express our heartfelt gratitude, and to offer—” “ You needn’t offer Camilla a penny, sir. She will never suffer while I’ve a pair of hands to work for her,” said Paul. “ Yon mistake me. I do not wish to in sult yon, bat would raise this child from her poverty and educate her, that she might be of use to you and to herself, and become a refined woman.. Don’t let .hour selfl am tfchgr light e sings like a" study music.” The great lustrous eyes of the child turn ed imploringly to her guardian. 6 Lor*, Camilla, I can’t stand in your way. I know you’re every bit a bom lady, if your poor forsaken mother did die in a hovel among wretches who turned her child into the cold as soon as the breath had left her body; but, deary me, I can’t part with you.” “ And you shall not Let me serve my little Camilla, and she shall never leave you but prove a blessing to you in your old age.” Paul could say nothing, and the strange visitor departed, with no farther injury to his darling than an eloquent glance from an expressive pair of eyes. Day alter day Camilla went with her books to the teacher so strangely provided; aud after a little time there came days when passers paused to listen to the warbling of the rich young voice. When she had been there six months, she ot tered one morning to find Mrs. Claver ing in the music master’s room. “ What do you intend to do with your fa mous pupil r said her soft voice. “ Madame, Camilla is capable of doing anything in a mi sical way. She will be a songstress of wh om this country will be proud. Ah, here she is!” “ You have improved wonderfully, my child,” said tho lady, holding out her glov ed hand. “ I came to bring you Bichard’s farewell. He leaves to-night, and will re main abroad for many years. Here is a lit tle gift as a token of remembrance. She did not understand that Mrs. Claver ing had placed a pretty necklace of coral in her hand, and then gathered up her shawl and departed; but when her teacher spoke she cried out as in mortal pain, and, without a word, ran down the street toward home.

Where’s your mother !” “In heaven!” At this Paul was dumfounded, and see ing that great tears were stealing down toe child’s wan face, he thrust toe violin un der toe arm which held toe bread, and put ting the other around the tiny figure, he said: “ Oh! I’ve gota home—areal jolly place! Come up and see!” And thisis the way old Paul came to have a neat little housekeeper, and to be buying gowns and shoes out of his poor salary. Tho winter of 186- came in like a lion, as many a poor wretch well remembers, as with the first blast came Paul s enemy. He turned one night a sad face from his warm corner iuBrettman’s shop among toe vio lins, and hobbled up toe cold street, feel ing toe approach of the old rheumatic pains and wondering what would become of his poor liltle Camilla. His excitement carried him up to his last flight of stairs, and hearing Caigilla’a voice, he paused and to rest ana tb listen. She was singing in that sweet and express ive manner which made her voice seem to him toe sweetest and purest he had ever heard. At the end ofthe stanza she took breath, and another voice said, “ Child, you astonish me. Either I am a poor judge of music or else your voice is the finest I ever heard. You are right in preferring it to anything else.” An electric thrill shot through old Paul’s frame and quickened his blood to a rapid ity that quite carried away the rheumatic pains, and in a twinkling he was up the stairs and in his little attic. He was terrified at toe sound of a man’s voice, but toe sight of a handsome and pol ished gentleman, with diamond studs in his snowy linen, a heavy ring upon his dain ty white hand unquestionable broadcloth upon his back, in close conversation with his Camilla, whose wondrous beauty bad of late startled even his doll perception, was more than Paul could bear. He was a very small man—had been in his youth—and now that time’s witherini fingers had touched him, he was shrivel© and dried lik6 withered fruit; but in his virtuous indignation he puffed up to his Mlest extent, and in Us falsetto voice piped: “ Camilla, how dare yon invite any one herer “ Oh, Uncle Paul! this is Mr. Clavering, a gentleman whose—whose—” “ Whose mother she saved from death.

Sharp. The inscription states that he “was assassinated while extending toe band of hospitalitv, on toe morning of Nov. 7,1825, in toe thirty-eighth year of his age,” with toe text added: “Whatthou knowest not now, thou shalt know hereafter.” CoL Sharp was, in his day, one of toe foremost men of Kentucky. Daring the administration 0 f James Madison he had served two tonn&. bt. CoDgress, at which time he was toe room-mate ana intimate ing. “ Yon do not mean dreaming! I “ You are here, wide awake, Camilla, and I am asking you to love me and be my wife.” , y She drew away for a brief moment, and laid her weary head within his arms. Then she passed on to her dressing room, aud when she returned, she put out her hand, saying: “ Oh! Bicliard, take me away ! I am soul-sick of all this.” “ And you will only sing—” “ In your nest. Come, we must not for get Uncle Paul. He is waiting iu the box lor me.” 4 The box was near at hand, and in a mo ment they stood near the door. It was qjar, and Richard pushed it opeji to allow Camilla to enter, and saw the 1 old man sitting in one of the luxurious thairs, his head lying back upon the soft cushions, and his hands peacefully folded. “ Uncle Paul!” cried Camilla. “ Why, you naughty boy, you are fast asleep! Come, it is time to go home. Ah!” She started back with a cry, for the hand that she touched was icy cold, and fell back stiff and helpless. “ Camilla, darling, come away; I will attend to him.” “ Oh, Richard !” “Hush, love; beds beyond us*now. Those strains of music have carried him to heaven, from whence they came.” The poor old man was dead. With toe consummation of his heart’s wish, his qui et, unpretending, unoffending life had pass ed out into toe new existence. There were largo growls in the music- loving world, but nothing ever came of them, for Richard Clavering removed their singing bird so deftly that i cause of her flight, and now him, and to her brood of yoi I w knew the sings only to ig Clavcrings.

The great heart of the music-loving pub lic was agitated with mingled emotions of joy, pride, astonishment and awe. A new songstress had been criticised, picked over piecemeal, ground down to the finest point, dissected, examined through toe most perfect musical microscope, and pronounc ed perfect And now the manager of a first class, fashion-patronised theatre had engaged her for a single night at an almost fobulous sum, and toe world was to hear her voice. The night came. The theatre was crowd ed from pit to roof. The orchestra pealed forth a grand overture, toe expectantcrowd filled toe air with perfume, and soft mur murs of whispering voices and rustling silks arose in a subdued sound; and then the broad curtain rolled up and disclosed toe elegantly fitted stage. Suddenly there was a hush in the vast building, and eyes grew bright with eager anticipation as from toe wing came the debutante. A tall, graceful girl, with gleaming shoul ders, and white, perfectly shaped arms, with a crown of purple, black hair upon toe regal head, with great dark eyes scan ning toe crowd, and then, with almost childish shyness, veiling them beneath toe long lasses; a mouth, soft, tender and beautiful, and a cheek as fair as toe pure white satin of her sweeping robe; and they had seen the long talked of and highly prais ed beauty. A roar like toe rushing of distant waters sounded in her ears, and then swelled into a thunder of applause, and coming slowly down in toe splendor of the footlights, her beautiful head erect, her eyes glowing with excitement, her beauty enhanced by toe elegance of her costume, Camilla, toe poor little waifi toe child of poor the protege of proud Richard Clavering, re^ ceived the homage of toe assembled crowd. When the acclamations had ceased, the orchestra began a soft symphony, and then through toe building echoed the dear, pure notes of a voice that sounded far away, dreamy, mystic voice, full of hope, of don of pain. Nearer, still nearer it sounded, and hope had drowned the doubts, but yet a plaint!ve sorrow seemed to remain. It came nearer and nearer, and toe sorrow was a half expectant, trembling glimpse of something better: and then suddenly toe strange voice broke forth in a triumphal strain, and listeners held their breath as the wondrous notes rang oat aponthe air and then died away. For a moment a deathly silence reigned but it was for a moment only, and then the building virated with a crash of enthu siasm that came from toe music crazed au dience. Men arose in their seats, and hun By and by, alone and lonely, Leaves and blossoms withered—dead, Will the trees seem robed in sorrow, Monrning for their beauty fled.

We are waiting for the spring time— Dark and drear may be the day— Still our wistful eyes are turning To the “ sometime**—far away. So we sink to rest, still trusting, Sleep to dream of morning light, Where the flowers shall bloom forever, Where we ne’er shall say Good-Night. 13?“A Yankee and a Frenchman owned a pig iu copartnership. When killing time came they wished to divide the meat. The Yankee was very anxious to divide so that he would get both hind quarters, and per suaded the Frenchman that toe proper way to divide was to cut it aerq^the back. Tho Frenchman agreed to it, on condition that the Yankee would turn his back and take choice of the pieces after it was cut in two. The Yankee turned his back, and toe Frenchman asked: “ Vich piece will you have—ze piece wid ze tail on him, or ze piece vat ain’t taill” “ The piece with toe tail,” replied toe Yankee. “ Den, by gar, you can take him along, and I take ze oder one,” said toe pleased.

At the time of his death he had settled in Frankfort as a very successful lawyer, but bad recently been again elected to the Le gislature as the champion of the “ relief par ty.” The “ relieP and “ anti-relief’ contro versy, of which I shall not attempt to sketch a history, had been for sometime agitating the State, and the fact that Col. Sharp was regarded as a chief exponent of the relief movement, and that the session of the Le gislature was to begin on toe day following his assassination, lent a peculiar emphasis to the excitement that followed. The sto ry of his death, with its cause and conse quences, I have learned from several co- temporary personal sources. But first let me say, fronting the capitol square in Frankfort, on its northern side, and only a few steps eastward from Frankfort and Louisville railway, is a large, dark, red-col ored brick mansion, three stories inheight, extending far back, with ample accommo dations for the slave help of “ the good old times.” This house is perhaps sixty years old, and was the house of Col. Solomon P. Sharp in 1835. A few years previous, Sharp had met a young lady named Ann Eliza Cook, and HE HAD SEDUCED HER. She a was young lady of good family, of fair cultivation, with some literary talent. He met her at a party, I believe, and it was under toe excitement of toe dance and the wine perhaps, that Miss Cook yield ed herself to him. After her disgrace be came known she had secluded herself at home, but it seems that a young lawyer named Jeroboam 0. Beauchamp, also of re- was made by Beauchamp that his wife might be permitted' to remain with him alone in his cell (it seems they were ten derly engaged to each other,) for toe pur pose of their last leave-taking, and this privilege was granted. After a while, as the time fixed for execution was at hand, toe officers entered toe prison.cell and found the wife dying with the wound of a penknife in her breast, and the husband himself also fatally stabbed. They bad DETERMINED TO ELUDE THE LAW, . and die together. But as toe time for toe execution had come, Beauchamp was taken in his dying condition out upon toe scaffold and hung. The bodies of the husband and wife were,removed to their home and bur ied together. Subsequently this tragic ro mance of real life was made toe basis of a novel which was largely bought up, it is about by John Savagq, the Irish p<wt, founded on the Beauchamp history, an* was on the point of being produced at Louisville. “I was at toe-LouiSVille theatre that night, I remember,” a lady in Kentucky told me; “it was in 1858. The theatre was very full. I forget the name of toe play, but it was understood that Avona Jones was to have the principal part. “Thecurtain was about to rise; every body was in expectation, when it was an nounced that a change of the programme had been determined upon, and the “Bride of Lammermoor,” I believe—some thing, at least, from one of Walter Scott’s novels was played instead. Governor Morehead, it was understood, had come down on the evening train from Frankfort, just in time to prevent the play, offering a large sum of money on behalf of the Sharp family to have it withdrawn and not produced in Kentucky. There was great excitement; many insisting on leaving the theatre and having their admission money refunded, I remember.” CHAXCELLOB KENT'S PBBDICAHEHT. HOW A BACKWOODSMAN CAUGHT HIM IN AN EQUIVOCAL SITUATION. Buffalo Courier.) Early in June, 1814, Chancellor Kent and his wife, in a private carriage, left their home in the city of New York, on a tour to toe “ County of Genesee,” as Western New York was then called. At that time, though the dtstance did not exceed 370 miles, the journey was more toilsome, pro tracted and dangerous than a trip from New York to Oregon now is. On the fifth day out they lost their way, and, night com ing on, believed themselves doomed to spend it in the open forest, -exposed to all But just as Kent you are now. Yoh’re Sam Flicker, that used to court my wife, as I heard tell. Now, BVcker, what have you got to sny for yourself you cuss t” “My name is not Flicker, It is Janies Kent.

The man sat down to his supper, and when it was finished retired quietly to his bed up stairs; and soon all toe inmates ofthe house were wrapt in slumber. The next morning the hostess prepared her guests a comfortable breakfast.

Perhaps __ have passed and been forgottei toe seduction been mentioned asr^ Sharp’s character dining toe warm*' cal campaign in which he was elected ... the Legislature. On this charge being brought against him, CoL Sharp treated it slightly and stated in pubUc, it is said, that a certificate was in evidence that this child born of Miss Cook HAD A BLACK FACE. This added insult to the original injury, and the secret writing of Beauchamp’s promise came out distinctly at his breath. The Sunday evening before toe General Assem bly met, Beauchamp (who Uved in another part of the State) entered Frankfort, and, finding the hotels fuU, put up at toe pri vate house of a gentleman named Scott, two or three squares South of Sharp’s res idence. Late at night he went around to toe house where Sharp resided—toe large, old brick which I have mentioned—and, going to toe side door (though others say. it was to toe front door,) he knocked. Sharp was awakened and asked who was there. Beauchamp answered by giving toe name ot one familiar to Sharp—in another part of toe State, where the latter former ly lived—but changing toe second initial of this person’s name, saying, “ John A. Covington,” and requesting to see him on important business. “ I know John W. Covington,” said Sharp, deliberately opening the door and advanc ing into the open air and darkness. Beauchamp at once fitted a mask which he wore, saying: “ Don’t you know me, Colonel P “ My God! It’s B ,” exclaimed Sharp, but did not succeed in pronouncing his en emy's name before toe latter struck him with his left hand, and STABBED HIM TO THE HEART with his right. CoL Sharp wasfound dead on the doorstep. Beauchamp returned to his lodging and left town early in toe morn ing, without being suspected, I beUeve. It is related that on approaching his home he ^fpparenti^L^7®l~^t^Mi . candle in her hand, comes’ ^6od woman, myself and my wife, -r-y u nothing in this age. There is another per sonage abroad, a person less imposing—in toe eyes of some insignificant The school master is abroad; and I trust to him, arm ed with the primer, against the soldier in fuU uniform arrayed.” Possibly some writ er used this expression before Brougham, but we are disposed to give him credit of its paternity. It may be well to note that he does not use it in the sense oHfce school master's being absent* as many do, but in the sense of his being present, .everywhere disseminating knowledge. The word abroad is frequently used in this sense in toe Bible: “The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts,” etc. jyButler’s office was lately invadi says toe Boston Herald, by a gayly-dress young man, between whom and the Gen eral the foUowing conversation ensued: “WelL Mr. B., what wonld be toe first thing for me to do in order to learn toe pro fession P Uncle Benjamin fixed bis weath er eye upon toe nobby-dressed young man, and surveyed him from his flashy necktie to his highly polished boots, aud exclaim ed: “ The first thing yon had better do would be to go and roU in a bom-yard.” An answer came as quick as the suggestion in the following terse language: “If I should come and study two years in your office, wouldn’t it do just as weU P chief in the distance. The death of CoL Sharp produced a pro found sensation in Frankfort and through out the State. The Legislature offered 83,000 for toe detection and apprehension of the murderer. There was a disposition to make political capital out ofthe affair, too, I am told, and to make beUeve the as sassination to have been in the interest of the anti-reUef party. One of toe Frankfort editors of toe time was darkly charged with accessory knowledge—and some were not indisposed, I beUeve, to have him ar rested. It was through this editor, I have been told—I think toe name was Darby— that Beauchamp was finally pointed out and arrested, Sharp’s fondly, it is said, showing an indisposition to touch him and thus make hopelessly pubUc the cause of his act. But Beauchamp was finaUy brought to trial, and , SENTENCED TO BE HUNG. Daring the interval between toe sentence and its execution, great efforts were made in his behalf, delegations of ladies dressed in mourning even going to the Governor, and a son of the Governor, Isaac B. Desha, was imprisoned at toe time, convicted of a highway robbery near Haysville. It was presumed young Desha would.be pardoned —as he afterward was—and it was urged that toe Govemormightdoa gracious thing, lightening the selfish act of clemency by pardoning Beauchamp and his son togeth er. Bathe was inflexible. PoUtical re venge, perhaps, it is said, had to be grati fled. The day of execution came. A short 1 time before the hour designated, request i _ ..'y in the carriage with me, are trav eling on our way to Canandaigua, but we have lost toe road; night is upon us, and we can go no further. Can you give 1 us shelter for the night, some supper, and something for our horses F’ asked Kent “ We are poor folks,” said toe woman, and Fm alone. My man is chopping over in toe BUlings settlement, three miles oft’, and he won’t be home in an hour. You are strangers and I don’t but you look like respectable people, and I guess you can stay here. I’ll give you something to eat if it ain’t quite so good, and I’ll fodder your horses, too. Your woman there had better get out and come in, wlnle 1 put the horses in the stable.” Mrs. Kent obeyed. The horses were unharnessed, led to toe stable and fed. In a short time toe woman prepared a homely, but acceptable supper for her guests. When toe meal was finished she said “ I s’pose you’re tired and want to go to bed. That’s our bed in toe comer there, but you can sleep in it to-night. I and my rdnn can sleep overhead. I’ll jest set his supper on the table; when he comes in he’ll eat it, but he won’t disturb you. Then he’U come up to where I am at.” T So saying she placed her evening’s re past on toe table, lit another candle, then ascended a ladder leading to a sortof scut tle-hole, through which she crawled. In a few minutes she was in bed lost in sleep. The travelers also retired to rest. “ Tir ed nature” hurried them swiftly on to the land of dreams. Suddenly the chanceUor started up, exclaiming: “ Bessie, that outside door is not fasten ed. Presently toe man of the house wiU return, and seeing me here in bed with you, he wUl of course think you are his wife, and, Bessie, he won’t relish that. Be ing a wood-chopper, be wlU Jmve his ax with him, and before I can explain mat ters, toe chanceUor of toe State' wiU stand a pretty good chance to be chopped to pieces—not a pleasant thing to think o£ Bessie.” “ It is a had matter. WfaQehe is chop ping yon up, he may include me in the ex ercise. What can you do f ’ said Mrs. Kent. “I teU you, Bessie, what FUdo. Ftt push that table against the door. When toe man comes it wiU take him some time to remove. When he is doing so I can ex plain matters to him,” said toe chancellor. Accordingly he arose, took hold of the table to push it against toe door. While in the act he heard heavy footsteps ap proaching; toe next instant a man of gigan- ticsize, in his shirt-sleeves, wearing a bear skin cap on his head, pushed the door open and entered the room. The first ob ject that greeted his sight was the chan ceUor, with nothing on him but his shirt. Glancing at toe bed, he saw, as he sup posed, his wife there, and toe situation be came painfuUy apparent to him.: Furious with jealousy, he exclaimed: “ Why the devil are you in my house in your shirt-tail, this time of night ! Damn you, I’ve caught you, whoever yon are.” “ It’s all right, my good sir,” said Kent* trying to explain I am—” “ AU right! all right! You be ; damned,” thundered toe man. “ I see—didn’t expect me home. Thought you’d festen me out when I did come—was going to have things all your own way here, hey!” “ Pray let me explain, sir,” said the chan ceUor. “ Myself and my wife there—” “ Yourwife l Your wife! Good heavens! what a, hold cuss youare. Iknowwho occurred to you what a com mentary upon our civilization are these lost women, and the attitude of society towards them! A Utile chUd strays from the home enclosure, and the whole community is on the alert to find toe wanderer and restore it to its mother’s arms. What rejoicing when it is found, wbat tearful sympathy, what heartiness of congratulations! There are no harsh comments upon tired feet, be they ever so miry, uo reprimand for the. soUed and tom garments, no lack of kisses for toe tear-stained foce. But let the child be grown to womanhood, let her be led from it by the scourge of want—what hap pens then! 13 o, Do Christian men and women go in quest of her! Do they provide aU possible help for her return, or if she return of her own notion, do they receive her with such kind ness and delicacy as to secure her against wandering ! Far from it.
