We learn that this gentleman will commence a course of Lectures on (1 eo loirv. and his other interesting snbjects, in Concert Hall, on Tuesday night. The Charleston papers speak in high terms of his Lectures in that city. It is not necessary, however, for our citizens to have other evidence of the interest he imparts to his themes, than the re collection of his lectures here several years ago. We have had quite a “rest ing spell ” in the way of public enter tainments, and we have no doubt Con cert Hall will be well filled during the course. Concert I fall. From an advertisement in another column it will be seen that the Augusta Amateur Minstrels play at the above Halt to-night. There are some good performers in the company. Lo.ru Club.

TII E R ECONC S JA AT I <)\! A STORY OF TWO PROUD HEARTS. CHAPTER I. A mild May morning, fresh, and pleasant, and 1 Tight; the soft air full of the songs of happy birds; the wild i flowers lifting up their heads in the sun shine; and the green leaves rustling | and waving in the woods, ns if they | were whispering secrets to the gentle ! wil d that stirred them. It was a lovely day—a day to be hap py in ; and yet a saddened look was vis : iblc on the sweet face of Faith Egcrton, :as she left the door of her house, and went slowly down the gravel walk that led to the road gate. Her home—the home of her husband and children—was a pretty brown stone j cottage, overhung with vines, and sur | rounded by beds of fragrant flowers, j Behind the house was a level and bcauti | ful grove, in whose cool recesses she had ! often lain as a child, and watched the flickering light and shade come down ! upon the ground for the earlier years of | Faith, as well as these later ones, had j been spent in this quiet place. Here jshe had been born—here her kind j mother had died—here she had lived with a dear and only brother—here she ; had married her first love, and here her children were springing up around her. land here she hoped to close her dying eyes, with all the old familiar scenes smiling in beauty around her. She leaned upon the little gate, and. looked wistfully up the road. She was I waiting there for the coming of her best and earliest friend, and the sound of ! wheels made her start, and sent a color into her pale check that had long been a stranger there. A dusty stage-coach came whirling up beside the gate stopping long enough for a lady to alight and give some orders respecting (her luggage, and dashed away again ;The new comer did not see Faitlr for a moment, so screened was she by the 1 branches of a wild rose that grew beside ! the gate. The traveler lifted her vail, anti exposed abroad high forehead, sha ded by silky masses of black hair, a face well featured, but grave and full of j thought, and deep, dark eyes, whose glances were kind, and her smile was ; beautiful. How strange a contrast between these i two women !—the one fair-haired and soft-eyed, with a meek and quiet face. lon whose features contentment and j home happiness were most plainly I stamped ; the other, dark and proud, jand self-sustained, with a look lljpt ! said to the most careless observer, “Oh. I have suffered !” To one, life had been •a fair summer’s dav, with only now and ! then a light and nappy cloud ; to the j other—ah! what to her but a bleak and stormy winter, where cvci vthing she loved withered and died ? And yet ! they were of the same age, of the same station in life; and side by side they had sat at school, and played at home, in the childhood that lay behind them. The tears sprang unbidden to the 'eyes of Faith Egcrton. as she saw the ! steadfast look with which her visitor re | garded the scene around her. She lifted ! the latch of the gate, and stepped out I beside her. “ Gertrude—Gertrude Alewynne— won’t you speak to me?” she said. “ Faith, dear Faith, is it you?” said Gertrude. I were claspe.l ! n each other’s | arms at once. Faith wept bitterly, but Gertrude was pale and calm, and j smoothed tlie fair hair of her friend with a caressing gesture, such as one might ■ use to soothe a little child. “Come, Faith,” she said at last, as if I weary of her tears: “ this is but a sorry j welcome to give me after so long a journey. You know I never liked to I see you cry.” ! “But you are so changed, Gertrude!” replied Faith. j “ Well, and if lam ?” said Gertrude. “It is some years since we met, dear Faith, and they have not been marked j with rose leaves from me. You must Inot ex|iect me to be quite tlie same at I twenty-five as at fifteen. Life changes I us all. you know.” “I know,” answered Faith, sadly ; “ hut I never knew it so well till now.” “ Well, we wilt let that drop,” said I Gertrude. “And now are you not go j rag to ask me in. after my longjourney?” “ Pray, forgive me,” said Faith, I blushing at her inattention. “I will j show you to your chamber myself. It | lias been ready for you all this week.” j They went up tlie walk together.— I Two fair haired children ran out to tlie door to meet them. The youngest, a boy of some two summers, held up his little hands to Miss Alewynne with a j sunny smile. She stooped down and | took him in her arms, and walked along ' through the hall with Faith. “Are these your only children?” 'asked Gertrude. “ Yes, and they are trouble enough j for me,” replied the mother, looking at 1 the children with a fond smile that | betrayed how little the “ trouble" was ;felt. I Gertrude sighed, and said brokenly, ■ 1 £ don’t know. Faith, why every one | calls me cold and proud ; perhaps I am. But when 1 take a little innocent child jin mv arms, something stirs in my | heart that nothing else can touch. I might have been a better and a happier t woman, Faith, if I had married.” “ You know well what my favorite jpian always was, Gertrude. If you had [only muiriud my brother ,” and j riiis time it was Faith that ighed. ■•Oh, Faith, spare me,” was the half-j j laughing answer. I l “ But you would have loved him if ! you hadonly seen him,' persisted 1 a:th. I • ‘ Hefis so noble, so generous, so hand some! He is inly my half-brother, j you know : but if he had been my own, j'i could not have loved him better.” I By this time they had reached the I room which had been fitted up for Cicr :ll ode. “ Why, you have made a little 'paradise for me,” she said, with a I ple.uvfl smile, us she looked around the jc!i unbar- “1 shall never want to leave •y«‘. Faith.” j “if any pains of mine will keep you, II am content,” replied Faith. 1 “ But. Faith,” said Miss Alewynne, j detaining her friend as she was about to leave the i i nn; “ I never knew before : that your par igon was only a half-brolh ■Jer. Your maiden name was Faith An derson; pray what was his?” I “ Walter Koscoe,” she replied, “lie ' was the son of my stepmother. My own j mother died when I was very young.” ' “ What was his name?” The tone was sharp and impatient, but tlie speak er's face was turned away from Faith. “Walter Roseoe,” she repealed. — “My boy is named after him, Walter Roseoe Egerton.” Tlie jeweled hand that had been playing with the child’s soft curls was drawn away as suddenly as if a serpent had stung it, and Geitrude turned a white and rigid face toward her friend, as she put the boy clown and pointed to the door. “ Gertrude, what ails you ? Are you ill ? cried Faith, in terror. She caught the bell-rope in her hand, but Miss Alev/ynjie grasped her arm firmly. •• Don’t ring ; I shall be better soon.” she said in a low voice. “ And, Faith, for the sake of the old time w hen we were school girls together, say nothing of raj’ illness to any one, and ask me no questions now. Leave m« for a little while, and to-morrow I will tell you all.” Wondering and perplexed, Faith left the room with her children, and went down the stairs. Her husband met her in the hall, and stopped to speak to asked. ’ “ Yes, Alfred,” she replied. “ Have you seen Walter?” “ I went to his office as you requsted me to, my dear, and asked him to come up and dine. He consented, and was! talking to me as usual, when I hap pened to mention Miss Alewynne’s • name. He started up and turned white —but here he comes, Faith, and you can see for yourself how strange he is.” He stopped speaking, and both turned! toward the door as Walter Roscoe enter ed, pale and agitated. “Faith, is it true—is she in this; house!” he asked wildly. “Miss Alewyrme is here, Walter,”| she replied. 4 He struck his hand upon his forehead, saying, “Why was I not told that she! was coming ?” “ Don’t look so angry, dear Walter,” pleaded Faith. “ I intended it as a; pleasant surprise for you both.” He half uttered an oath, and Faith, burst ing into tears, cried, “Oh, Walter, don’t! Don't swear, and before these little , children, too! You never did so before.” “It was only on account of your ‘ pleasant surprise,’ ” be answered,, hit terly. “ Don’t ever try another, Faith. I have only come to say good-bye. The same house can never hold Gertrude ”he paused, and then added, asj with an effort, “Gertrude Alewynne and myself.” “But why, Walter?” asked Faith, . clinging to him as he was turning away.; ; “ Have you ever met before ?” He looked at her with a strange smile, as he replied, “Yes Faith. We: have met once too often.” “You knew’ Gertrude, and yet never spoke t<> me of her, when you knew how much 1 wished you to love each other,” ! said Faith, reproachfully. “Oh, Wal ter. 1 always thought I had your conli-i deuce!” “And so you have, Faith; so you have, except in this one thing,” lie said) kindly, softened by her evident distress. ! “And when she has left you, I will come back and tell you all.” “Not before?” she asked, persuad-j ingly. “ Not before. Faith,” ho replied. - “ Let me go now.” “Oh, Walter, I would almost give my life if I could only see you two hap py together.” “ Faith, Faith, how little you know of what you talk! That woman has, embitterred my life ; she has destroyed | my confidence in every human being ; I she has deceived, and betrayed, and dis graced me. And yet, I know it 1 100k 1 but once upon lier face I should forgive her all; for I loved her, Faith. 1 loved . her more than my lift*. Sister, T must not see her. When she has left you, ! L will come back agaiu—till then, fare well !” He kissed her fondiy, shook iiaiids with her husband, patted the golden ■ heads of the children, and was gone.— The young husband and wife looked af ter him wistfully. A cloud seemed to ! have covered the blight spring sky, and the little parlor of the cottage seemed lonely and deserted when they agaiu entered it, because of the mystery, which miglit be guilt, that was even , then sheltered within its peaceful walls. [concluded to MORROW. ] A Fearful Tragedy—A Vtw \ ork Mystery Cleared Up. Some time since our readers will re- i member an announcement in the New York papers that a barrel marked \Y H. Jennings, 185 Leonard street, New York,” containing the mangled remains | of a female, was found in the Hudson River Railroad depot, at New York city. | An inquest was held upon the body at i that place, and the officers commenced j investigations. Telegrams were sent through Canada, and it was found that the barrel had crossed the Susquehana : Bridge. The whole affair remained a ’ profound mystery until a few days ago, when a man named Jumpertz was ar-j | rested at Chicago. It appears he had \ been living in Chicago, with a female| 1 named Shopie Werner, twenty-nine j years of age, hut subsequently deserted her and went to Milwaukie, whither she followed him. The morning after her: arrival there, according to his story, he found her in her room suspended by the : neck, she having committed suicide du-i ; ring his temporary absence. The mode in which he then proceeded to dispose of the body is thus related by the Chi- j . cago Times : On the next day he took out the en- I trails and carried them two or three; ■ miles off on the prairie and buried r them. His first thought was to throw i the body into the river, hut there was too much ice. He then proem ed a . common case knife and carpenter's saw, I and, after much trouble, succeeded ini | getting them sufficiently sharp to per form his bloody work. After cutting; .I the bodv up. he procured a. common | whiskey barrel, put tiie limbs in, after; f burning such parts of her clothing as had blood spots upon them, and headed; . it up. On turning the barrel over, he: saw water and blood coming out from; the bung hole. He took it out and threw in a quantity of tionr to staunch . it, and puttied up all the cracks and . painted it all over. Early in the morn . ingof the Kith of March, after keeping! t the, body ten days in liis room, he met; , a drayman ou Clarke street bridge, and ; asked him to take the barrel to the de pot. The drayman consented, and went! up to his room. He proceeded to roll it ; ’ downstairs. Jumpertz, fearful lest the; barrel might burst, requested him to ; carry it down stairs, but he refused, and , rolled it down as he had commenced, ' the body rattling against the sides of the barrel all the way down, filling him with dread and apprehension lest the , drayman should discover his secret.— ; The body was finally got to the depot ■ and shipped to New York that morn . ins-' Thus ends, for the present, this tale of blood and horror. The greater part of it is his own version, taken from his r own lips. Whether he is guilty of the terrible crime of murder the courts will j determine. t Professor Felton, of Harvard College, 1 sailed for Europe last week, in the > Canada. ll ■’ - - ■ Commercial Jfnfdlipncc. l-to-t fmmlivernool \pril 28; Latest dates, from Havre .April 25! latest dates from Havana 25 1 ~W"00J.3L137- LErH.O'VICA ~W’.
