E. E. BROWN, PROPRIETOR.
HAVING been fully convinced of the exceedingly annoy

injt over our various Kaiiroadii, were constantly subject, the
Proprietor determined and fit up, at tlie most eligible
and couveniiot i*oint, a hotel that would supply every demand
and be entirety worth the patroh;i<e of the* public. He has,
after much labor and expense, carried *ut his original purpose,
having selected s site immediately op{>osite, and within thirty
yards of the l*wnarn<riT I>ept. Persons leaving on the ni)rht
trains can enjoy, at least, an hour's sleep, longer here than at
any other hotel in the city ; and the table is furnished with the
, best the country affords; the rooms are comfortably ventilated.
, and supplied with necessary furniture, and the servants are
well trained and may be summoned at any hour. Ue has
I spared no pains or expense to meet every want, and r ipply
every’ convenience, ami now ever*’ thing Complete, he flatters
himself, his Hotel affords equa advantages to -ny other In the
j State.

‘riio Trutli i>otli Never I>ie.
Tliough KiiigiloiiM. Status and Empires fall
And dynasties decay;
Though cities onnnhle in the dust.
And nations die away;
Though gorgeous towers and palaces
In heaps of min lie.
Which once were proudest of the protnl,
The truth doth never die!
We'll mourn not o'er the silent past;
Its glories are not tied.
Although its men of high renown
Be numbered with tlie dead.
We'll grieve not o'er w hat earth has lost.
It cannot claim a sigh :
For the wrong alone hath perished,
The truth noth never die!
All of the past is living still—
All that is good and true :
The rest hath perished, and it did
Deserve to perish, too!
The world rolls ever round and round.
And time rolls ever by;
And the wrong is ever rooted up,
But the truth doth never Die I
Jefferson’s Weddu g- aud his Wedding
Kighi.
The following pleasing picture is
from the Early Days of Jefferson,in
tlie New York Century :
“ Belinda” (Jetl'erson’s first love)
had been married many years, and
her old admirer was approaching 80,
when he met with a young lady of
22, who produced a strong impres
sion upon him. She was a little
above the medium bight, slender but
elegantly formed. A fair complex
ion, with a delicate tint of the rose;
large hazel eyes, full of lifeiind feel
ing; and luxuriant hair of a rich
soft auburn, formed a combination
of attractions which were eminently
calculated to move the heart of a
’ youthful bachelor. In addition to
all this,the lady was admirably grace
ful; she rode, danced and moved with
elegant ease, and sang and played on
the harpsichord very sweetly. Add
still to these accomplishments the
possession of excellent good sense,
very considerable cultivation, a
warm, loving heart, and last, though
not least, notable talents for house
keeping. and it will not be difficult
to understand how the youthful Mr.
Jefferson cmie to visit very fre
quently at the lady's residence, in
the county of Charles t’ity. It was
; called ‘‘The Forrest,” ami the name
of the lady was Mrs. Martha Skel
ton. She was a daughter of John
Wayles, au eminent lawyer, and had
married in her seventeenth year, Mr.
Bathurst Skelton,who dying
left his young wife a widow at nine
teen.
As the three year* of mourning
began t > expire, the beautiful young
lady found herself besieged at “The
Forest” by numerous visitors. Os
these three were favorites with fair
Mrs. Skelton, of whom Mr. Thomas
Jefferson was one. The tradition j
runs that the pretentions of the ri
vals were decided, either by the mu
sical accomplishments of the young)
counsellor, or by the fears of his op
ponents. The tale is differently re
lated. One version is, that the two
unfortunate gentlemen encountered
| each other on Mrs. Skelton’s door-’
step, but hearing Mr. Jefferson’s vio
lin and voice siecoinpanying the la<ly
in a pathetic song, gave up the con
test thenceforth and retired without
entering, convinced that the affair
was beyond their cont'ol.
The story is, that all three met at
the door, and agreed that they would
take their turns. Mr. Jefferson en
tered first, and the tones of the lady
in singing with her companion tie-,
prived the listeners of all hope. —
However this may be, it is certain
that the beautiful widow consented
to become M rs. Jefferson; and on the
first day of January, 177-, there was
a great festival at “The Forrest”
Friends and kindred assembled fr*>m
far and near—there was frolicking
and dancing, after the abundant old
fashion —and we find from the bride- j
groom’s note-book that the servants
and fullers received fees from his es
pecial pocket.
It snowed without, but within all
was mirth and enjoyment, in the
light arul warmth of the great log
fires, roaring in honor of the occa
sion. Soon after the performance of
the ceremony, tlie bridegroom and
his bride set out in their carriage
for “Monticello,” where Mr. Jeffer
son had commenced building in 1769,
just before the destruction by fire of
liis patrimonial house of “Shadwell.”
The journey was not to end without
adventures. As they advanced to
ward the mountains, the snow in
creased in depth, and finally they
were compelled to leave the carriage
and proceed upon their way on horse
back. Stopping to rest at
heiin,” the scat of Col. Carter, where
they found, however, no one but an
overseer, they left it at sunset, reso
lutely bent upon reaching Monticello
bes-re night. It was eight miles
distant, and tlie road, which was
rather a mountain bridle path than
an honest highway, was encumbered
with snow three feet deep.
We may fancy tlie sensations of
the newly wedded bride at the chill
appearance of the desolate landscape,
as she passed along through the
snow; but she was a young woman
of courage and good sense, and did
not care for inconvenience. It was
late when they arrived,and a cheer
less reception awaited them—or
rather, there was no reception at all. |
Tlie fires were all out, the servants
had gone to bed, and the place was
as dark and as silent as the grave.—
Conducting his wife to the little pa-,
vilion, which was the only’ part of
the house habitable at the time Mr.
Jefferson proceeded to do the honors.
On a shelf behind some books, parti
of a bottle of wine was discovered; j
and this formed the supper of the ;
bridegroom and the bride. 1
Far from being annoyed or dis
comfited by their reception,however,
it only served for a topic of jest and
laughter. The young lady’ was as
merry and light-hearted as a bird,
and sent her clear voice ringing
through the dreary little pavilion as
gaily as she had ever done in the
cheerful drawingroom of “The For
rest.” Thus the long hours of the
winter night fled away like minutes,
winged with laughter, merriment
and song. The vigil was a mirthful
incident rather than a trial of their
equanimity. They were young—and
they had just been married. When
hands are clasped, and hearts beat
close together, there is very little
gloom in darkness,and winter nights
are not cold. This little moral sen
timent will not, I hope, he criticised
as too romantic for the “dignity’ of
history.” It doubtless explains how
a young lady and gentleman, both
used to every comfort and luxury',
found in the gloomy little pavilion in
the midst of three feet of snow,
neither dark nor etild, on that Janu
ary night long ago !

THE LAST BULLET.
An Incidtut of Commodore Stewart s Algerine
Experience.
The United States ship-ofwar
Constellation was anchored in the
harbor of Algiers, whither she had
proceeded under command of Com
modore Preble, having on hoard,
among other officers, Charles
Stewart, then an Acting Lieuten
ant.
It was the watch of young Stew
art, and lie was pacing to and fro on |
the deck, about half an hour after
sun set, when he saw a small boat, 1
containing a single person, coming
off’ from the Old Part, as the west
era part of the town is called, and
leading directly for the ship.
This person was rowing with all
his might, and Stewart was not long
in discovering the cause. Close be
hind the single boatman was seen a
large rover filled with men, whose
presence was announced by a con
tinued firing at him of whom they’ ‘
were in such determined pursuit, 1
holding on their way until they were
under the very guns of the ship.
“Now, by’ my soul !” cried Stew
art, may’ I be shot if I don’t teach
those fellows a lesson. Stand hy r ,
Mr. Rogers,” he added, addressing a
favorite gunner “to throw a little
grape into that fellow.”
An instant later a wreath of smoke
curled up from the side of the ship,
and as the report went booming over
the water the iron messenger sped
on its way, crashing into the pursu- j
ing boat, severely wounding two or i
three of her crew. She instantly’ !
turned to put back, at the same time |
that the fugitive reached hisdestins- |
tion and came up tlie side into the i
presence of tlie officer of the deck,
lie was ait elderly man, with a stout
frame and brownish features; but it
required but a single glance from the
lieutenant to see that lie was Eng
lish or American. As soon as lie
was sufficiently recovered from his
over-exertion to breathe he went on
to tell his stoiy, to which Stewart j
listened with much excitement.
The new comer was tui American
citizen, named James (’ollins, a nu- j
ttve of New York, who, with his
wife and daughter, had been taken
from an American vessel at the same i
time as its commander and crew, two j
years before, by’ an Algerine pirate. !
His wife had since died, and no and
his daughter had been enduring since
Ids capture all the horrors of a hope
less and aggravated captivity; but
the worst part of the poor mail’s
story, and that which moved Lieu
tenant Stewart the most, was the
announcement that his daughter, a
gentle and beautiful girl, was on the
eve of being forced into a detestable
union with the very wretch who lmd
bought her and her father as slaves.
“My agony at these circumstances
culminated not two hours ago,” fin
ished the father, “when I struck the ,
persecutor insensible to my feet and ,
fffd. By dint of exertion I mail- j
aged to reach the water side, and :
embarked before the pursuers could ■
prevent it. But though, I have suc
ceeded in reaching this place of safe
ty, my poor Alice is still in the power !
of her tormentor, exposed to his veil- |
gence; and I am almost crazy at
thinking that she may even now be
subjected to a fate worse than death.
If I could only guide a boat s crew,
under y'our”
“One moment,” interrupted Stew
art. “Stay where you are until I
have seen Commodore Preble.”
One moment the young lieutenant
was engaged with his commander in
the cabin, and then he came forth
with a stern smile of satisfaction on
his features. Ten minutes more had
not passed before a cutter with
twelve chosen men pushed off in the
darkness, with the lieutenant and
the stranger in the stem, and rapid
ly struck out for the shore.
“Our owner,” said .Mr. Collins,
“resides in the western part of the
city. There is a coast guard esta
blished, but I do not apprehend that
we shall have any especial trouble
from that source. I think we can
land below, go up the streets to the
house, and carry off my child, and all
without losing a man.
The boat landed, after twenty
minutes of rapid progress, at a small
wharf near the Geleta, in the west
ern part of the town. The arrival
was certainly observed, but not a
great deal of attention was bestow.
; ed upon it by’ the stupid Algerines,
i Leaving part of his men in the cut- ;
ter, with orders for them to lie down
under the wharf, Lieut. Stewart and
the remainder of his force followed
the footsteps of Mr. Collins, who led
the way rapidly’ up the intervening
streets.
On arriving at his late prison, an
old, dingy-look ing struct tire, ex tret tie
Jy spacious, having all the looseness
of the Moorish style, the party dis
covered that silence and darki.ess
; were the principal features of the
j scene. Not a sound was heard nor
a word uttered. The whole building
I seemed deserted. The agony of the
father was extreme.
“O, my cinitil my einll!” he cried,
’ no Inger able to control the terrible
! emotions which had been surging
through his soul during the last
’ hour, “shall I never see thee more?”
A Moorish slave came around from
the rear of the building, and assured
his fellow captive that the girl had
been carried off’ by the master, and
that no one was at home save him
| self But even as the lying rascal
uttered the concluding words, a wild
shriek was heard in the chamber,and
the next moment a young and beau
tiful of seventeen summers ap
peared at one of the front windows,
looking like a spectre in her gar
ments of spotle-s white.
“My child, my’Alice!” exclaimed
Mr. Collins.
“Save me, holier!” was the re
sponse; and while shouts and groans
were heard proceeding from the in
terior of the building the maiden
threw herself from the low window,
falling into the very* arms of her
father and Lieut. Stewart.
The very moment of this reunion
was destined to be that in which a
1 company of Algerine troops ( time
round the nearest corner, marching
up the street in the direction of
Lieut Stewart and his men. It was
also at the same moment that the
old Moor, who had so long consider.
| ed himself the proprietor of M r. Col
lins and his daughter, came to the
window and set up a startling yell.
“This way! ’ cried M r. Collins, and
he dashed open the door of the front
building, and conducted the entire
party* within, “li ok to your weap
ons, and take the rascals off’ their
pins the instant they halt!” siid
Stewart.
A sharp and determined struggle
soon commenced, in the course of
which half the Moorish soldiers were
killed, and the remainder finally gave
way. But the rescuers had expend
ed all their ammunition, and only a
single bullet was remaining; that
was in a large horse pistol in the
possession ot Lieutenant Stewart.— 1
lie was just wondering what he
should do with it, when the old Moor
came down stairs with a huge sabre 1
in his grasp, and made a furious dash j
at Mr. Collins and his daughter, with
murder written on his features and
flashing from his eyes. This sudden
arrival decided the destination of the
last bullet.
“Take it, you black devil I” cried
Stewart, just as the blow was de
sccnding, and he fired his weapon,
tin* ball passing through the miscre
ant’s head and bringing him dead to
the floor.
“Now, boys,” added Lieut. S., “we
are going to finish with it hand to i
hand fight. The powder ahd ball
are out ; we must trust t< the !
sword.”
Closely followed by his men as
well as by Mr. Collins and Alice, the
Lieutenant led the way towards the
boat. It seemed sis if Algiers had
turned out*to witness the triumphal
retreat, the streets being filled with
thousands of men and women collec
ted together by the brief contest at
the Moor’s house, but not an attempt
was made to intercept the progress
of the party, the Algerines content.,
ing themselves with scowls and de
nunciations. Ten minutes later the
rescuers were at the cutter, twenty* I
minutes more and the entire party
were safely back to the Constella
tion, not having lost a man. The
young lieu tenant received the hearty
thanks of his superior, to say noth
ing of the gratitude of Mr. Collins
and his daughter, whose family >
proved to be of consequence in
New York; and we are assured that
Charley Stewart was never happier
in his life than when Miss Alice was i
united to one of his ’chums,’ a noble- j
hearted lieutenant, now a commo
dore, who fell in love with the res
cued maiden during the Constella
tion’s homeward passage.
J-gs” Ex-Goveruor Seymour, of New
Yoik, recently made a speech in St. Paul, |
Minnesota. Speaking of slavery, be truth
fully said: “It is sustained by the firm of
‘Weaver, Wearer k Planter,’ and two of the
partners live up North. Every one knows
but for the looms of New England and Old
England it could not live a day. The loud
est denunciation against slavery are made by
men with cotton shirts on their bscks. The
most fervent pulpit exhortations against |
slavery come from men who wrap themselves
for repose at night in cotton sheets; who lay
their heads upon cotton pillows, and go to ;
sleep thanking God that they are better than
the man down South.”
ttsf A man on passing through a i
gateway in the dark hit his nose
against the post.
“ I wish that post was in h 1,”
said he.
“ Better wish it somewhere else,”
said a by-stander, “you might run |
against it again.”
BaT “ Speaking your mind,” Jer
rold say §, “is an extravagance that
ha* ruined many a man.”
The Sacrifice.
“There, Mary —now don't you
think I deserve to he called a pretty !
good husband ?” laughed the young
man as he dropped down in the lady's
palm half a dozen go and pieces.
“Yes, you are, Edward, the ver> |
best husband in the world,” and she
lifted up her sweet face, beaming
with smiles as a June morning with
I sunshine.
“Thank you, thank you, for the ■
very flattering words. And now, j
dear, I want you to have the cloak
Iby next Christmas. I am anxious
to see how you will look in it.”
“But, Edward,” gazing steadily j
into the shining pieces in her rosy
palm, “you know we are not rich
people and it really seems a piece of
extravagance for me to give thirty i
j dollars fora velvet cloak.”
“No, it is not, either. You de
serve the cloak, Mary, and I’ve set i
my mind upon having it. Then it 11
last you so many years that it will
he more economical in the and than
a less expensive art icle.”
It was evident the lady was pre
disposed to conviction. She made
no further attempt to refute her
husband’s arguments, and her small
fingers closed over the gold pieces,
as she rose up, saying :
“Well, dear, the supper has been
waiting half an hour, and I know you
must be hungry’.”
Edward and Mary Clark were the
husband and the wife of a year !
He was a book-keeper in a large es
tablishment, with a salary of fifteen
hundred dollars, llis fair young
wife made a little paradise of his cot
tage home in the suburbs of the city,
within its walls dwelt, also, the peace
which God giveth those who love
him.
Mrs. Clark came into the room
suddenly’, and the girl lifted her
head, and then turned it away quick
ly, but not till the first glance told
i the lady that the fair face was swol
len and stained with tears.
Jennet Hill was a young seam
stress whom Mrs. Clark had occa
sionally’ employed for the last six !
months. She was alway s attracted
by her young bright face, her moil—
-1 est yet dignified manner, and the j
lady* saw at once that some great
sorrow had smitten the girl.
Obeying the promptings of a
warm, impressive heart, she went
to her and laid her hand on her arm,
saying softly :
“Won’t you tell me what is troub
ling you Jennet 7”
•‘Nothing that any*body can help,” 1
! answered the girl, trying still to i
avert her lace, while the tears swell
!ed in her eyes 1 rom the effort she (
made made to speak.
“But perhaps I can. At any rate
you know it does us good sometimes
to confide our surrows to a friend,
and I need not assure you that I .
sincerely’ grieve because of your dis
tress.”
And so, with kind words and half
caressing movements of the little
hand, laid on the seams*ress’ arm,
Mrs. Clark drew from her lips her
said story.
She was an orphan, maintaining
herself by’ her daily labors, and she j
had one brother, just sixteen, three
vears her junior, lie had been for
sometime a kind of under clerk in
a large wholesale establishment,
where there was every propect of
promotion, but be had seriously in- I
j u red himself in tlie summer by* lift
ing some heavy bales of goods, and
at last a dangerous f.ver set in, j
which bad finally left him in so i‘x
hausted a state that the doctor had
no hope of his recovery’.
“And to think that I shall never
see him again, Mrs. Clark, cried the
poor girl, with a fre-h burst of tears.
To think that lie must die, away* then
among strangers in the hospital,
with no loving face there to bend
over him in hi* last horn’s, or brush
away the damp curls from the fore- ;
head which Mamma used to be so
proud of Oh, George—my darling,
my bright faeed little brother,
George,’and here the poor girl broke
down in a storm ofsows ami tears.
‘ Poor child, poor, child!” murmur
ed Mrs. Clark her sweet eyes swim
ming with tears. “How much would
it take to see you to your brother, >
and return,” she asked at last.
“About thirty dollars. I have not
so much inoney in the world. ou
see it is nearly’ four hundred miles
off ; but I could manage to support
myself after I get there.”
A thought passed quickly through
Mrs. Clark’s mind. She stood still
a few moments, her blue eves fixed
in deep meditation. At she
sai<l kindly':
“Well, my child, try to bear Up
bravely’, and we will see what can be
done for you,” and the warm, cheer
ful tones comforted the sad heart of
the seamstress.
The lady went up stairs and took
the pieces out of her ivory port mon ]
naie. There was a brief struggle in
her mind. “Somehow I've set my i
heart on this velvet cloak,” she
thought, and Edward will be disap |
pointed. I was going ont to select
the velvet this very afternoon. But
then, there’s that dying boy, lying j
as the slow hours go by, for the sight
ofthe sister who loves him, and would
not this thought haunt me every
time I put on my new cloak ! After
all, roy old broadcloth is not so had, ‘■
if it is only turned. And lam sure 1
can bring Edward over to my way
of thinking. No, you mint go with
out the cloak this time, aud ha\ e the
pleasure of knowing you ve siuooth
qp the path going down the valley of
-NUMBER ‘2B
the shadow of death, Mary Claris.*’—
And she closed the port inonnaie res
olutely, and went down stairs.
“Jennet, put up your work this
moment—there is no time to he lost.
Here is the money. Take it and go
to your brother.
The girl lifted her eyes a moment,
almost mbewilderment, to the lady,
and then as she comprehended the
1 truth, a cry of such joy broke from
I her lips, that its memory never faded
from the heart through all the after
rears of M rs. ('lark's life.
“George ! George !” The words
leaped from her lips, as the sister sprang
forward to the low bed where the youth
lay, his white sharpened face gleaming
death-like from amidst his thick, yellow
curls.
I lie opened his large eyes suddenly—a
flush passed over his pallid face. lie
stretched out his thin arms, exclaiming.
,'•*(> Jennet! Jennet! 1 have prayed
God for the sight of you once more
before I died.”
“His pulse is stronger than it has
been for two weeks, and his face has
a better hue,” said the doctor, a few
hours later, as he made his morning vis-,
it through the wards of the hospital.
“His sister came yesterday and watch
ed with him,” answered an attendant,
glancing at the young girl who hung
breathless over the sleeping invalid.
“Ah, that explains it. I’m not cer-
tain but that young man has recupera
tive power enough left to recover, if he
could have the care and tenderness, for
the next two months, which love alone
can furnish.'’
“How Jennet’s heart leaped at the
very words. That very morning she
had an interview with the brother’s em
| ployers. They had been caielcss, but
not intentionally unkind, and the story
enlisted their sympathies.
In a day or two, George was remov
ed to a quiet, comfortable home, and his
sister installed herself by his couch, his
r.urse and comforter.
Three years have passed. The shad
ows of the night were dropping already
around. Mrs. Clark sat in her chamber
i humming a nursery tune, to which the
cradle kept a sort of rhythmic move
ment. Sometimes she would pause sud
denly and adjust the snowy blankets
around the cheeks of the little slumbercr,
shining [out from the bright curls as red
apples shine amid fading leaves in Oc
tober orchards. Suddenly the door
opened. ‘ Shsh,” said the young moth
er as she. lifted her linger with a smil
ing warning ns her husband entered.
“There’s something for you, Mary.
It came by express this afternoon he
said the words iu an in ler tone, placing
a small package in her Jap.
The lady removed the covers with
eyes filled with wonder, while her hus
band leaned over her shoulder and
watched her movements.
A white box disclosed itself, and re
moving the cover. Mrs. (lark described
a small, elegantly-chased hunting watch.
She lifted it with a cry of delightful sur
prise, and touching the spring the case
Slew back, and on the inside was en
graved these words :
“To Mrs. Mary Clake. Ia token of
the life she sored.”
“Oh. Edward, it must have Come front
j George and Jennet Hill,” exclaimed the
I lady, and the quick tears leaped into her
ey* s. ‘-You know she’s been with him
ever since that time and she w rote me,
la-it spring, that he had obtained in ex
cellent situation as head clerk in the
I firm. What an excellent gift, and how
I shall value it. Not simply for itself,
either.”
“Well, Mary, you were in the right
then, though I’m 9orry to say I was half
vexed with you for giving up yotir vel
vet cloak, and you have not had one
yet.”
“Vo, I have not had one, but I never
regretted it.”
She said these words with her eyes
lastened upon him.
“Nor J, Mary, for I cannot doubt
that your sacrifice bought the young
man’s life.”
“Oh, say those words again, Ed
ward. Blessed be God for them,” added
the lady fervently.
I’he husband drew his arm around his
wife and murmured fervently,
“Blessed be God, Mary who put it in
to your heart to do this good deed.”
“A Dollar or Two.”
We clip the following sensible article from
an exchange, and think it has hit the right
place for making times easy. We hope
those who are in arrears to the “Citizen,” or
who are kindly disposed toward it, will
take the hint, and send along the “dollar or
two.” The writer sensibly says :
“Give all the editors “a dollar or two” to
carry in their pocket*, and a hopeful rav of
mental sunshine will soon light up their de
pressed and desponding spirits, and directly
von may read in their papers of ‘a change’
in the financial condition of the country. —
This will induce timid capitalists and bank

called iu—manufacturers to hoist the gates
and start the wheels of their machinerv,
and thus give honorable employment to the
honest hands. This will create a demand
