Here then are a set of laws adopted by the
Sun*, independent of each other, clashing with'
and crossing each oiher.nml perfectly inoperative
without Uro limits of a particular t-tatc.
Distant debtor* will not, aud unfortunate ones
often cannot pay their debt*. That law is a mer
ciful and a just one, which is calculated to pro
tect tiro honest debtor from Uro tyranny and op
pression ofa hunttio* creditor, while attlro same
time it protects tho creditor front the fraud which
often practiced in order to avoid payment of
an houcsl debt.
There is one loud and united call from every
quarter of this Union, mado npou Congress to
extend to thousands of sufferers, this great bene
fit. Some merchant* have fallen hy Uieir own

mind being affected: and the frugal uicalwhich
was daily placed before him, it w as asserted, was
never touched; while tiro sound of his steps waa
heard treading die narrow hounds of his apart-
incut throughout the livelong night.
The wonder aUeudant on this eccentric being
wns at length, however, checked by nn event of
far greater horrot and mystery. One morning
tho w holb neighborhood was thrown into a stale
ofdrcadfu! excitement by tho rumor of a mur
der having been committed under the most mis.
tcrious circumstance*. Tlu-y were as follow'*:
It appear* dial there lived in Gottingen n gen-
tlemuu of the name of Melchior, who, having
some business which cqlled him -to Duntzic, hod
le A two daughters at homo w ith no male scrvaul
or protection of any kind in tiro house; nor did it
appear that any of the parties considered there
was any necessity for such precaution, us they
lived without tire least feeling of anxiety. Oil
he night iu question, tho two young hidicsliad
gone to mke tea with an old mini, who lived ut
some little Jistauco from tliv-ir own hotreu, leaving
no one at home hut a servant girl, about sixteen
years of age. AAer spending a plea* till evening,
ns the night wn* fine, they proposed proceeding
home on foot, uud accordingly bade their friends
good evening, and set out upon their walk. At
thu house there was a long iivcmre, which from
the tree* around vva* very durk. even tho’ thu
moon shone beautifully from tire sky. Making
some jesting remark* about spit its, the two girls
entered tire avemie and proceeded at a smart pace
towards tho' house. Ou the way, some one came
down the avenue, wrapped in a cloak, and, n* if
anxious to avoid nbservutiox, stepped in am : d the
trees. Somewhat alarmed nt tho appearance of
a man about the house ots* late an hour, tire two
girl* ranasqnicklv as they were able, never stop,
ping to draw breath till thty reached liotire, when
they told the girl what tlre^ had seen, nnd hc.de her
belt the door. Then, nA<» chatting for some time
together, they proceeded to bed, nud fiouitiiat
hour tho girl had irovar seen them till they were
di-covered lying with \htir throats cut from car to
ear.
When examined, site affirmed that she had
gone to bed shortly after the young ladies retired,
nud that once, throrgii the Uight, she thought *hu
heard her name called by some one,* hut not hav
ing heard it repeated, she imagined her ears had
deceived her, and hid gone to sleep again. There
was one circumstance of peculiar mystery which
enveloped the matter in much doubt. Though
T

aution token which might insure tiro snlbty
citizens but iulpito of every thiugi nud ns if in
mockery of our utmost efihrts. within tiro short
spnctOof a week enotjror murder wall committed
under tile most atrocious «lrcum*t.uicrs, and in
volved in tho eairto fosrAii mystery.
Tlreru was stnytagit Gottingen some liitlo dis
union JVonf town, a® hilly 1 to whom a young En
glish stildent was in the Iwhit or paying frequent
visit*, and, as ho was engaged to nnu of tho young
Indies, lie oAun spout ih8 uight In tiro homo. A
pretty girl was Marrinntre. aud his sole doligSd
was in her society, so that it wus always with re
gret ha parted. One uight aAur ha had got into
bod, he fincied he heard steps prococdlllg along
tiro corridor and stealthily apprnacliingtlro apart
ment occupied by Marianne. Supposing it to ho
one of tho domestic* he paid no treed to it till tiro
door of her apartment opcired nnd ho hoard her
voice shrieking in an agony of terror, " Oh tny
God spare me! spare me. or let me see my sis-
t»r o’er I die—Oh God lyoit will not mnrdor me.”
Starting up nnd rushing to her help was but tiro
work ofan instant, but wlreuhe reached her uuor
all was still and dark, and it wn* no*, till Ire foil
upon n floor, clotted and slippery with blood that
ho bethought him ofn tight; so rushing down
stairs ho idarmed tiro house nnd returning to tire
room he hod luA,found Marianne lytngon the floor
with her throat cut nnd tire fatal 81. Andrew’s
cross engraved upon her neck. The house wns
searched from lop taholtuin but no ono could he
seen, aud the very next uight tho tragedy was
'completed by tire murder of the young student
who also boro tho Mime fearful badge—tiro cross
upow his breast.

Escape or Da. Himes.—We learn (soys the
New-Orleant Picayune, of the lGlh inat.) tint the
notorious Dr. Hines, who wnsFetit to tho peni
tentiary at Baton Rouge last summer for four-
t*-en years. Ins escaped and is again at large. By
some means be got possession of false keys,made
hi* way by tiro aid of them to tiro cigar shop in
the upper part of tiro prison, cut a hole it^the roof
and then let hinuelfdown hy means of cords. An
Irishman escaped at the same time but wasaAcr-
wards retaken.
It seems that tiro runaways kept company .with
tiro prison chains still fast to them, for some six
mile* back of Baton Rouge. On reaching tho
highlands tire clank of tiro chains was heard hv
some negroes belonging to a plantation, who ii
mediately gnve the alarm. A pack of dogs were
pill upon tiro trail aud after a short run succeed-
<-d in capturing tiro !ri«hman, but Hines made his
escape. Hundreds of the citizens of Baton
Rouge, however, were in pursuit, nnd our infor
mant states that they were sanguine ofngnincnp.
luring him. We could not lenrn how Hines came
in possession of keys and cords, but it would np.
pear that he must have friends outside who as
sisted him.

These arc the lending circumstance* connect
ed with this most extraordinary luurdcr, which,
as may readily be jupposed, threw every one
w ho bad nothing eke to think of iuto a state of
most feverish excitiineut; but though the most
active measures wero adopted, nothing could bo
discovered to afford tclne to the apprehension of
tiro murderers. It Kerned to have produced n
complete change ia Bcutcvino. None were so
anxious to trnco tin perpetrators of the deed ns
he. During tiro while day, he was occupied in
oliserving every lille circumstance connected
with it, nud tnnsmitingthem to the officer of the

quaintancc, he stillretained his former extraor

thing hnd been heard of the murderers, and,
Uiougb curiosity was still busy on the point, the
stories, 44 nine day*' were on tiro wane, when
Mr. Melchior returned from Dantzic. The first
uight he slept in thijhause, he teas murdered in the
same etlirocious mamtr as his daughters. Every

THE IWiDIXG UP.
The mind of Beutevinn was imtnrully of a vi-
iomiry cn*to, ar.d aAer tiro interview recorded in
our firsts art. his mind had been a strange tu
mult of pleasure and pridn. nnd, in his darker
motneuL-, of regret. At such limp* hu would try
to persuade himself there was neither sin nor im
propriety ill the com exioti he bail refused, or,
Iu lieviug there was, could Iro not when he had
enjoyed Iris term of smvice to a bnd power,
throw off hi* ullegiauru, nnd, by tiro greater vir.

ure and all tiro pride of wrlf-doiiig. One tiling
pet pb-xed hint touch. Being a linn beli-verin
Axtruiogy lie had taken hi* horoscope uud found
that jn.-t uhoul this time, soi-.ro fi-urliil crane
would be committed by him. uf which he would
repent and be puiiislu-d for—and that ofterwaids,
his punishment being abated, liu would Iro Imp
py. All this was puzzling, for Iro r.rohl not du
cover tiro nature oflhe crime iro was to commit
or \vlt|it punishment awaited him; nnd »o hi
kept amusing himselfwith vain speculation*,mid
nti unwearied pureuil of Iris u»unl studies till hii
even: happened which nitcrtJ (lie whole cm rent
ef his existence.
One night lie hnd strol'-J out to calm Iris ft-,
verisb thoughts by a vv.dk ill tiro open air, when,
just as he emerged from a thicket, hi* eye fell up
on s post pointing to an old .milled tower whicli
stood opposite him, nnd.iii a window of which
he perceived the twinkle ofaiigut. Surprised
nt the marks of tenants in n place Which, from hi*
earliest years hud been tiro ubode of none stiv
goblin*, nnd thinking, Willi his ireu.d siiptnui-
tion, that the post was directing him cn to noun-
strange adventure, Bentevino ventured to wul
stealthily toward* the light, uud climbing by mean*
oferevire* m tiro wall. IrohMd thrmigb tiro win
dow, a giri of most fascinating beauty, bending
overa volume which seemed lo command her at
tention. Surprised and delighted at such u sight,
Bentevino, in struggling to obtain a better view
of the uuUuownfair.disSodgedsnmestoucswhich
c.inro rumbling down, stocking him upon tiro
head and depriving him of his senses. This ac
cident proved the mcojis of introducing him to
the fair one, whose appearance hail captivated
him so much nt first sight; and hence arose his
mysterious depaiture from GoUmgcti, which
gave Free to so many conjectures.
Time flew by with wings in tho company of
thu beauteous Suit, nud it waa with deep regret
he took hisdepurtme, promising lo return soon
ugaiti. Sidi bad livod during her whnlu lifu ut
terly secluded from the world, nnd her simple
heart was soon won by Beulevino's gentle yet
passionate manners; still, to ull his entreaties that
they might be united, she gavrvn steady refusal-
urging for a reason, some insurmountable diffi
culty which opposed tlroir happiness,nnd, though
entreated by tiro student to tell her of it, sho kept
a mysterious silence upon tiro point.
Ono evening (it wus about tho tune of his se
cond disappearance.) Sidi had lllcl Boiltovinu
nnd conducting him into tiro old tower, laid her
self fondly at his feet, gently murmuring—
“»Novv my love, thou art with me, thy bird
feeletli site is iu her home.” .
" Sweet Sidi!” answered Bentevino fondly,
and spoke with all tho poetry he loved—-‘ sweet
Sidi! my soul rcsteth when with thee—but why
should wo ever part my beloved T Do I not love
thee dearly!” and snatching up a guitar Bente-
vino sung with lavishing bounty and pathos—
Iro told ln*r oniU love—and thus they passed the
time, till the hrittr arrived vffteti drey wire lobe
mode happy. Punctually nt 12 o’clock theptie* 1
arrived, ntnj there wns snhrolhlnf about this ontn’i
appearatfrp-which, in »pito *of Ith utmost efforts,
Beutevinn could not hut shudder at. IlisaddreM
wa» rude and repulsive, and there wax n lurking
irony In nil be«s{d, which absolutely disgusted
the student.
*' Me think* Father,” Mid he 41 thou Inut-forgot
ten to bring thy'crucifix and rosary with tiroe, mid
thou cuii*’t not proceed with, the ceremony with*
out them.”
4, It need* not," answered he frowning “it needs'
uotjhnt wo riiould unite then with such thibgii'
for a holy mail liutli hut to join thy hands and ble««
nice nud thuu shaii uu.happy. Bui ivi ii« jiiw*
ceed."
Tlroy roso nnd stood opposite him.
" My children,” said Iro “you have now bo-
fore you tho prospect ofliving long aud linppily
together—do yon promise to love each oilier in
nil circumstances.—whether rich dr poor, with
tiro bloom of health or ill tho most loathsonio
form." He paused nnd looked with a malicious
crin upon tlie pair, aud Bentevino though only
wondoriifg nt this extraordinary departure front
tiro usual forms of tiro Church, answered with
Sidi—“Ido."
“Then do I unite tiroe," said ho, joining their
hand*, and as he did so, tiro student remarked tliat
Sidi’s touch was as cold as ice. Tiro priest gazed
nt them for a moment, and then walking up to
Bentevino seized him hy the shoulder, and look
ing him in (ha fucu, gently laughed nud turned
away.
The student gnzed aAerhim forn moincut.tlten

ho, “.hut Sidi now thou art iniiio forever.”
Y»*«!” *a'.d *ho wildly ‘‘and thou artniiue—

hoar-re shout of laughter which seemed to he
caught up by a riimiuud airy tongue*, that echoed
it away amid tiro winding* of tbe old tower—

Dear Doctor—I have asked Mr*. Cochran

It i* needless to promise thnt my table is largo

(almost imperceptible) decorates tiro centre.
When the cook has a mind to rnt • figure (and
