CROWDED TO- For some months after her departure Bello kept her promise of writing Tom. At first her letters were long and were full of inform ation about his little pet, she always referring to the child by this title, and never using any other name. She wrote that toe girl was get ting on ^amonsly, was happy and contented, and had quite a vivid remembrance of Tom. He replied to all the letters, and occasionally hinted that he would very much like to 6ee his Pet. But Bello never took the hint. She never returned to Goram, and after awhile her letters became less frequent, until finally she ceased entirely to write. At first Tom felt this neglect very keenly. ; T , ... u a He bad done Bello more than one important I ^°« 8e service, and done them in the most disinter ested manneT. That she should treat him so indifferently he hardly expected. Not that he cared anything for her. Indeed, it is doubt ful if he ever gave her a thought, except in connection with the little being that had filled his heart. Still, after the first ieeliDg of dis appointment was over, he dismissed every thing of the past from his memory, so far as it gave him concern, and relapsed into the same old life of wild, careless, good-natured Bohemianism. There was one young friend of Tom who did not forget him, and that was Marcel Van Dusen. The boy came to Goram regularly twice each year to visit bis guardians, and he never failed to go down to the Repeater office, sit patiently until Tom came in, and then go off* with him on a walk. On such occasions Tom was in his glory. Rather injudiciously, it must be admitted, he introduced Marcel to the Congenial Society, which clustered around the tables in the bar room of the Bohemian Shades. He, however, would not allow the boy to drmk anything stronger than port wine in small quantities, while he narrated his school adventures in Baltimore. The most singular and at the same time the most amazing thing to Tom was the intimacy which had sprang up between Marcel and Mr. Sniff. They first met at Mr. Koppered’s store, to which place the boy had gore in the company of Tom. Every day after that memory had wandered back to his Pet, and he had waited silently but anxiously to hear him say something of the one link tha; bound him to the little chair of romance that had placed a golden fetter upon the long ago. When he raised his head, Marcel saw he had been weeping. “Have you told this sfory to many per sons?” he asked. “ Only to Mrs. Carroll and to Father Mel rose. Mrs. Carroll told me that Mrs. Lander was very eccentric and took sudden dislikes to people. Father Melrose did not say anthing on the subject. “ But why do you ask.” “I knew that lady when her name was not Mrs. Lander. I’m glad you have’nt told about her to any others. For your own sake tell it to nobody else. I know yon have a high opinion of that old Sniff. You think him a very good friend of yours. I think him a bypociite.” “You are wrong.” said Marcel, eagerly. “I know that he thinks a great deal of me. It was only the last time I came to Goram that he told me to ask Mr. Fradden if he had GOVERNOR OF BENGAL—A P CE-'S HIDING INTO COURT AS TRIDE A MULE. The Calcutta correspondent ot he :_.ondon hat, limes writes about the visit ol the Mahara- whoee toot never before touched British ter ritory, and whose country is, or may be made, the highway of commerce between Calcutta and Thibet—to the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, Sir George Campbell.

Mr. Sniff smiled benignantly at Marcel, and commenced again to ply him with flattery until it was dark, when he drove the lad over to his residence, wheTe Charley was awaiting him. The two returned to Gorham together, and during Marcel’s stay in the city there was not a day that Mr. Sniff did not see him, and see him only to flatter him. So three more years passed, and then it was decided to send Marcel to Europe to com plete his education. He was now grown a tall, handsome youth, in his eighteenth year, quite manly for his age, and very proud of the soft down that had appeared upon his up per lip. He came to Goram to make preparations for his departure, after promising Father Melrose to return and pay him a farewell visit. Tom hod not seen him for two years, as he had been absent from the city during each time the lad had been there. He was delighted to see Marcel, who declared that Tom was getting old. And so he was. Al though the same person in speech and man ners, his hair was almost white, and there was hardly a dark hair to be seen in his small moustache and imperial. D—m me,” he observed in response. “Of I’m getting old. So are you. Quite a man. Been making love to the girls yet?” At which Marcel blushed. “Bet,” he added, “that you’ve broken half dozen hearts already. Did that sort ot thing myself when I was young. Getting old now, though. Have to quit it. D—n me if the boys don’t call me old Tom now. Lets go to the Shades. Best place in town. Remember it well, hey? Know it for twenty-three years.” They went to the Bohemian Shades, took a private room and sat down before a bottle of champagne, which Marcel insisted upon hav ing. “Now, Marcel, my boy,” said Tom, “Tell us about those people in Baltimore you wrote me of. Have’nt any idea who they can be.” “Oh, yon mean Mrs. Lander,” the other returned. “She is a widow, and her sister or sister-in-law—I dont know which—is Mrs. Carroll. They belong to a great family in Baltimore, I can tell you. The Carroll’s and Lander’s are big people there, and are very aristocratic. They are both widows—the ladies, I mean. Mrs. Carroll has two daugh ters.” “D—U me,” laughed Tom; “I thought as much.” “You are wrong,” said Marcel, getting red I in the face. “They’re both little girls twelve i years of age, or about that We used to ! dance together, that’s all.” ! “But about the lady who knows me ?” That is Mrs. THE HJEUTEN- force.

Then at table, Charley having declined to [join, Mr. Sniff solemnly brought out a bottle of cham pagne, which he placed before his guest say- ing: •‘As an indication of how I appreciate the honor you have done me, I have consented this day to drink wine, and my wile will join us.” “God bless you, Sir” uttered Marcel. “Let the boys and girls have some. It won't hurt them. I drink wine every day after dinner with Father Melrose.” “Yes,” replied Mrs. Sniff sharply. “Those papist priest think it no harm for people to drink liquor. For my p..rt I think it very wrong, except at Com muni m. It is best not to teach the children to diink. It I take a glass of wine with you, I do so because of j respect for your father's memory. Peopie may j speak against him. I remember that through his kindness we own this Ujuse." And she' sighed. “And I remember,” put in Mr. Shiff sol emnly, “I remember how I begged and prayed him not to become a candidate for Congress. I told him that I foresaw danger. He was ambitious though. Never, no never, shall I forget the night that my dear friend, I may almost say my benefactor, was brought home murdered by a slaveholder.” [He paused, applied his handkerchief to his eyes and silently opened the bottle of .champagne, which he had brought up from Goram the previous day for the special purpose of using, if he could persuade Marcel to dine with him. It thus appears that Mr. Sniff did not meet np with the lad accidentally,bnt deliberately way laid him.

Goon.” •* One day I went there to bring home the girls. I found her alone in the parlor. She told me to sit down and wait until the girls came in ; they had gone to the next house. Then she gazed at me for a long time, and afterwards opened a small box on the table, took out a note and asked me if I knew what day it was. I told her yes. She gave a little laugh, and answered that it was the anniver sary of iny father’s death. I had forgotten all about it. “ ‘On tbisdaj,’ ” shwsaid, “ ‘tenyears ago, your father died, and I gloated over. it. I hated him, and I hate you on that account.’ ” “‘That is rather hard, Mrs. Lander,’” I answered. “ ‘I never did you any harm. I am sorry you spoke that way about my father. He is dead, and has been dead so long, that you might let him rest in peace. I shall not come here any more. I never should have come, if Mrs. Carroll had not asked me to walk home with the girls. Y’ou have told me over and over again that you hate me, but what for I cannot imagine.’ ” She struck the top of the table with her hand. “ ‘Because you are the living image of your father. ’ ” “ ‘I can’t help that,’” 1 replied, rising from my seat and preparing to leave. “T am sorry that you have acted the way you have.

She is quite thin and weak, and that makes her eyes look all the worse. Of course, I don’t care anything for her threats, but they are very annoying. I have no idea what harm my father could have done her. Yon know people say that when he married my mother he was engaged to another lady. I wonder if she is the one he was engaged to. Sometimes I think she is.” Tom had listened quietly to this story, and had remained apparently plunged in thought whilst Marcel spoke. \Vhen the youth ceased he turned to him. “Has this lady any children?” he asked. “No, not now,” he returned. “She had a daughter, but it died about four months after I made her acquaintance.” “My little Pet!" groaned Tom. “It was my little Pet I” “Why, what do you mean him of his former relations with Mr. Van Dusen, which Mr. Sniff did at length, not omitting to enlarge upon the admirable man ner in which he had managed the business ol the deceased gentleman, but never saying anything of that last interview he hud with Mr. Van Dusen, when that person expressed the opinion that the Moral man was a scoundrel. | During bis narration, Marcel inquired why he leltthe services of his father. “It is a sad tale, my young friend,” he answered. - ‘Your father was a man of strong will and determined purpose. He conid not be moved from his purpose. I left his ser vices on account of a circumstance that finally caused his death. I will not say what that circumstance was. Ho made me his confidant. I gave him the best advice that a member of the church could give. Had he taken it, he might have been alive now. Bnt he grew angry, and used language that necessitated my leaving him. I am happy to know," he continued, “that before he died he confessed I was right.” Mr. Bniff proceeded with bis narrative. He told Marcel how he had frequently begged Mr. Van Dusen to allow him to take his only son to his humble house, where he would find fit associates for his age. Mr. Van Dusen had refused, doubtless because their stations in life was different Next he spoke of his devotion to his old employer, and the love and respect he felt for Marcel. Then, amid much flattery, he came to the Point. “Had your father recovered from his wound,” said he, “I feel certain he would have sent for me and said, “Sniff, comeback. ” And I did entertain a hope that his executors would consider my familiarity with bia busi ness and appoint me to manage it. But they thought differently. Not that I blame them. Oh, no, I felt the slight, but the Lord had provided for me, and I was content.

The article stated that four of the most accomplished blacksmiths in the city had worked desper ately at one of the locks for six hours, endeav oring to pick it open, and they had utterly failed. “By the way, Tom,” said Charley, “that _ article about the anti-burglar lock is entirely j Monday than ou any other day. too strong.

He did not see the Bishop fall, and he only heard the thud on the grass. Being asked by the Coroner if there was anything upon the grass that might have caused the Bishop’s horse to stumble, he replied that he thought there might have been, as he could otherwise hardly understand how the accident happened. There was no ditch in the way, and they were riding, as he had explained, on a smooth piece of grass in a kind of shallow Idip.
