THE GYPSY'S REVENGE.
nr cuart.es besseker.
«So you Invited her to cril ag-ain this even
Jn ■ ? Prodigious!” And M"jor Bowlen gazed
upon hi friend with seeming pity. As Mr.
Fulling ite made no reply, the Major continued
“ Wh:tt o poenlinr vocation, indeed! Telling
fortune? for two dollars, in brief, ami lor five,
In Into, with all the cabalistic sequels attached.
Oh for the sword of Oideon aud the power of
Samson! 1 would decapitate every fortune
telling gypsy in the universe, and impose a
heavy fine upon every brainless individual
who, by bis patronage, fostered and nursed an
evil in our land which needs eradicating, in
Germany, this cunning, vily tribe And hut a
Sterile field for operations. Hut look at Eng
land ;go whore you will, and gypsies greet
your gaze Id the city, town, hamlet, upon the
farm and on the highways, on the seashore and
in the mountains—in fact, tveiywhere. Are
they there to earn an honest living? No; they
rather hunt one, as a beastlimits its prey. They
float the country to make the poor poorer, and
<eare little whom they rob.”
“Were you ever in England ?” dreamingly
inquired Mr. Fallingate.
“ England ? Fes,” answered the Major, in a
subdued and almost melancholy tone. “ I
know it well, for there, beneath a marble slab,
rests the joy of my once happy life. It’s there
j 106tmyonly child." And hot tears gushed
from' the strong man’s eyes. “She went out
with he." youthful companions, one morning,
never to rei” rn - Her little clothes were found
by the brooksn'e. l,B H, * n ber glee, she had been
bathing alone—a tm»2 she never did before--
and tire foree ot the deee’ving current, no
doubt, bore her out into tu° Aldershot Canal.
I saw roy poor Minnie no more. My poor wile
soon followed her darling, and lam l e ft to bear
the afflictiou —”
Here the Major wiped Ins moistened eyes,
and for a moment looked gravely and thought
fully before him.
“ Ami strange, too, Mr. Fallingatc,” abrupt
ly continued the Major, just as the former
made ready to essay a few appropriate and
consoling remarks, “ about six or seven days
previous to my tlrsl. sad bereavement a young
gypsy woman c,.tne to nay residence and offered
her services. She had a weird and uncanny
air about her, with a hideous visage and a face
peculiarly dotteff, like the shell of a turkey’s
egg.
“ ‘ I do not wish to know the future,’ 1 said,
half provoked at her impertinence, ‘and the
past is well known to me. Jte gouc at once?’
“ She hesitated ; a flush of intense anger and
hatred mantled her bronzed countenance.
“‘Be gone!’ 1 shouted. ‘How dare you
come into my presence, ignorant and illiterate
as you arc, and boast, oi vonr mystic ability to
tell me what will happen days and years hence?
Shameful piece of presumption begone!’
“‘l’ll go,’she almost hissed. ‘But know,
man, in the folds of your knitted forehe <d I
see a woild of sorrow and grief in store for
you.” And, as she left, she turned and gave
me a bitter, mocking smile, which haunts me
to this very hour.”
“ Then, Maj .r, having experienced the ful
filment of a prediction so lightly made, has it
never ocenrrcd to you that (heir p ofcssiou,
mysterious as it is, is entitled to some grains of
confidence ?”
“ Not at ail,” promptly njoined the Major,
Bomewhat re animated. “ Sound reasoning
forbids tbe admission of the least shadow ot a
possibility, even, and tbe ‘holy writ’ sternly
denounces tbe p ofane calling of these gypsies.
Jn this, our nineteenth century, the pretended
art of fortune telling and astrology ought to he
buried as things of the past, and ‘ clairvoyance,’
together with everything weird and u->cannv,
should be wiped from the face of this lieaudfnl
earth.”
“Now, Major, with all due deb rence for
yonr opinion, permit me to relate to you an
incident, after bearing which, you will pardon
me for differing with you still. Four years
ago last sntuian J was still in England. Busi
ness made it necessary for rue to make a visit
to America, where my father was connected
with some heavy firms in Philadelphia. My
mother felt greatly alarmed at the proposed
voyage, lest ti e sea rh'onld claim me as its own ;
but seeing th it it was unavoidable, she at last
—reluctantly, however— consented.
“Two days before my departure, a gypsy
woman was cautiously ushered through the
back door into the kitchen by one of the ser
vant girls, who was anxious to know her fu
ture, and tho fate of her false lover. My mo
ther was apprised ofter presence, and, to my
great astonishment, summoned her into her
private parlor, where wc had been engaged in
the indulgence of an uninterrupted fami y con
versation. No admittance was granted to any
one after the gypsy had entered.
“‘Now,’said my mother, in a warm and
cordial manner, addressing the gypsy woman,
»I desire yon to tell this yonng man the past,
and especially the future. Remember, he is
rather sceptical; it behooves yon, therefore,
to tax your skill to the utmost, in order that
he may gain confidence in your prophecies ’
“She then retired, leaving me alone with
the searching, pondering woman, whose keen
black over everything in
the room, until they rested, star-like, upo i me.
At iact she silently took a seat near the table,
and motioned to me to sit opposite. Present
ly she brought loriii an old pack of queer,
htrange cards, and laid them on the table.
“ ‘ Cut them,’ she hoarsely murmured.
*» J complied, without the slightest hesitation.
“•Cut thera again,’ she continued, in the
»awe tone.
“ 1 again did as directed.
“ * Cut them again,’ she said, tbe third time,
»nd, on my having done so, she took one of tho
five piles in her hand, and from it and the re
maining four cuts she rcitarated my past career
with such emphatic nceuracy that I fairly
trembled before her iufaite power.
“ I knew she could not have deceived me,
Jor she was a total stranger in Fairfield, and I
<elt that to doubt her ability to tell ihe future
would be lolly. She now gave the cards a
thorough shufllng, and, alter cutting them
three times, and placing them in five different
parts over tht. table, as before, she continued :
“ ‘ Young man, thy future home will not be
your England.’ And as she apparently read
IS Chili) JiilifiilinaH
one card she went to the next, as though read
ing out of a book. * But I see you in a city
across the ocean; yes, I see you return, but not
to stay. Four parents leave next, but they re
turn uo more to England By this time you
wi 11 ecome enamored with the daughter of a
wealthy young mao, and, though the father
means it well, young man, beware, and trust
her not.’
“ ‘ But whom can I trust ?’’ I asked demurely,
and feeling somewhat disappointed, in fact.
“ • Hark, young man, and listen. Your court
ship will be as romantic as your marriage will
be happy and prosperous. Three years from
hence ’ —
“ Here she paused, in deeply study over her
cards ; but at list her countenance assumed a
brighter hue, and t-be continued, with an air of
solemnity;
“‘Take your memorandum book, and mark
therein what I now tell you, for it is a revela
tion momentous to your future wellare. On
the 10th day of October, A. I), 185 at sun
rise, you must cross the bridge at L ,in
your shirt sleeves, and bareheaded. At the
centre pier you will meet, a young country
damsel, also bare headed, carrying a large and
beautiful bouquet in each baud. You cannol
nor will you miss her, for flowers in that sea
son are not very abundant. When yon meet
her, say, “ l am looking for an unknown oue,”
and when she answers, “You have found lie,”
then know, young man, thy future wife. IV
lay not witli the ceremonies, nor o&k her any
que tions uutil your first baby is born. I also
see, in the dim future, a letter for you, enclosed
in a green cover, which gives you a gnat deal
of valuable information. Now I conjure you
to comply with tho ai tides of fate, lest fate
should take vengeance ; but if you are obedient,
a long lifo aud a happy one will bo your bless
ed 10t,.’
“ Now, Major, I have given you the whole
talc, with all its adjuncts. Cal! it a ghost story,
a pliehoinenon or witchcraft, but, upon ray
honor as a gentleman, every word and syllable
the gypsy woman uttered came truly to pass.
Now Uoyou blame me, or term me unrea on
ab e, after such a lesson, if 1 give credence
and a willing ear to fortune tellers?”
Major Bowlen was at a loss how to answer;
his eyes were weary with watching Mr. Fal
lengate’s enthusiastic gesti res, and his serene
mind was cast into a pool of perplexity.
At tliia juncture, and to the great relief of
Major Bowlen. Mrs Fabingaie entered, with a
cherubic, lresh looking baby upon her arm.—
Her soft, dazzling eyes, and her bright, radiant
countenance, told, at a glance, that she was a
happy wife, and an affectionate, tender mother
“ Bull engulfed iu the great gypsy question ?"
she tj euiated, with arnerry lustre in her large
bine eyes, as she entered, and found tbe two
conversationalists apparently buried in a grave
and silent sea of refl.clion.
“Yes, dearest,” answered her husband, with
a broad smile playing upon Ids countenance.
“ But 1 actually believe the Major is on the
very brink of conversion.”
The Major, however, shook his head nid
muttered:
“ I can't see the conjuring point in all this;
there is an outrageous dee it hidden some
where.”
“ Now, Major,” resumed Mrs. Fallingatc, as
she took a seat beside him, “are you equally -s
skeptic >1 about dreams?”
“No, not quite, though I believe dream
books are an iinpos tion upon the poor and
ignorant class. But let ns hear your dream by
all means, in order to change the former un
pleasant subject.”
“ My husband has told you about ourromau
ite. meeting, I pr* fume?
“ Yes, madam.”
“ Well, then, as truly ns 1 live, it was in
oTiedience to a dream of my mother’s that I
went, and stood upon that bridge, and answer
ed tuy husband’s questions as be expected me
to answer them.”
" For Ilcavcn’fl sake," exclaimed tint Major,
a? he hastily arose, “tell me no m re.”
“ As usual,” ventured Mrs. Fallingatc, “con
vince a man against his will, and be remains of
tbe same opinion.”
“ Convinced !” shouted the Major. “No,
far from it, though, after mature deliberation,
I may be forced to divide opiums. However,
for the present, ray mind is filled with a ver
tex of vague doubt?, for you will admit tint
there a e many ways of making a fool of a
man. But please let us change flic subject.
How pretty the baby is growing,” added tbe
Major in a careless, gentle manner, as he ad
vanced to pinch the solt, velvety cheeks of the
little funily pet..
“Isn’t she?” proudly replied the happy
mother “ And don’t you think, Major, a
beautiful little diamond ring wonid look well
on her sweet, tiny finger? I have one which
is very precious, a kind of family heirloom, 1
suppose. My mother gave it 10 me, and often
told me how she wore it when she was young,
and how well it became me when l was a
baby, and I do think it will look well on our
darling, as soon as her finger gets large
enough. But Mr. Fa lingate shakes his he id,
and calls my wish a c.prlcious notion, fraught
with bad omens ”
“ That is just what my motlicr-in-law said,
when ray wife placed a magnificent little dia
mond ring on my poor Minnie’.? finger.” Aud
as the Major mentioned the name of his lost
child, another large tear marked tils inward
agony.
Mr. and Mrs. Fallingatc fully shared tbe sor
row of the old man, for he was an ever-wel
eome guest, and was considered, n many re
spects, like a member of the family.
Dinner being announced, the party proceed
ed to the dining room, where a sumptuous re
past greeted their eyes. A few bottles of
Hackheimer soon dispelled all traces of gloom,
and all became gradually as happy and merry
as a May party of juveniles.
After dinner, Mrs. Fallingate proposed a
walk In the garden, which met with unanimous
approval; but before the proposition could be
executed, a servant entered and announced the
gypsy woman.
“Bond her away, and fell her we can dis
pense with her services ; don’t you think we
can, Major?” soothingly concluded Mrs. Fal
lingate.
“ Now I beg leave to difier with yon again,
dear lady. Admit her by all means, and let me
test her reputed power; if she can tell mo the
past, it will forever cure uae of my skep
ticism.”
“Yes, by all means show her in, Jane,” add
ed Mr. Fallingate. “Let us have a right jolly
time in experimenting.”
They all repaired to she drawing room,
where tbe expected prophetess presented her
self before the company could offer any fur
flier extraneous exclamations and remarks
As she entered she cast .a furtive look upon
each member of the company, and appeared
both surprised ami greatly agitated ; but she
soon < aimed down to her peculiar, tui'iness
like urban ty.
“ PI urc let me tell your fortune, lady,” she
muttered, as she advanced toward Mis. Falllh
gate. “ 1 will tell you the past and the future,
and many things which will hen< fit you to
know. 1 will warn you against danger should
danger lie iu your path. Come, give me your
hard, that I may read your palm; or do yon
desira to have me speak to you in private ?
Ladies fnquentlv prefer to have their fortunes
told when alone.”
“ No, not at all,” quickly rejoined Mrs. Fal
lingate. “ The j e, my father and my husband,
may well hear all yon have to say ; here is my
hand; now proceed.”
The, old Major fairly shook wbli suppressed
laughter at the bit of deception the young,
witty lady perpetrated upon the unsuspecting
gypsy woman
“Tot 11 the past, l must see vonr left hand ;
and mind, lady, if I should see anything in the
past or future which to know would cause
your young heart grief or sorrow, then I shall
conceal it from you,” significantly added the
pypsv.
■‘ ITse your own discretion in the matter;
only tell me truly.”
The gypsy took the proff red hand, and gave
it a tong and mlnnte examination before she
spoke, fthe used no cards whatever, but her
whole power seemed to rest in palmistry,
“ Young lady,” she began, “ Philadelphia is
not your native place, but your childhood’s
home is away towards sunrise, beyond the
deep waters. Your father is dead, tut your
mother still lives; you were the only child,
thoneh the child of sorrow.”
“ Enough of the past. Now of the future ; I
am anxious to know the things to come.”
“ Well, lady,” continued the gypsy, in her
quaint manner, as sha examined the right hand,
«• your brightest hours arc yet in store for you.
Seven lovely children will call you mother, and
nothing on earth wilt mar your happiness. Yon
will see jour native home no more, but, after
many years of parental bliss, you will finally
rest, in peace with your Creator, beneath the
coo’ing shadows of Greenwood Cemetery."
“Stop, woman, I am satisfied,” exclaimed
Mrs. Fallingite nervously. “ Now please tell
my husband’s future, for I know lie is dying
with curiosity.”
Mr. Fallingate smiled at the accusation,
which was far more suited to Mrs. Fallingate’s
disposition than to bis own. However, he
pleaded guilty by being silent, and the gypsy
woman modestly took his hand tor Inspection.
“ 1 know the past, madam,” ho mid, “ and it
Is therefore quite unnecessary to reiterate it.
AUGUBTA, SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 5, 1872.
Tell me the future only, but stop before you
get me to a graveyard ; they are unpleasant re
sorts to talk about in company.”
“ The future is in perfect harmony with that
of your dear lady’s. Your joyous 6tar has not
yet shown to you in its greatest brilliancy;
Iteaveu has favored you with all that’s con
ducive to peace and happiness. Earth is your
paradise, and long life your precious gift.”
Here the gypsy paused, and held the haud
closer up to her eyes, as though laboriug under
difficulties in reading some of the hidden 6igus
contained therein.
“ Yes,” she resumed, thoughtfully, “ you ex
pect an important letter; you wi 1 not antici
pate in vain, and all will end well with you.”
“Now, Major, come forward,” cried Mr.
Fallingatc, as h suddenly withdrew his band,
lest the gypsy might get him to eternity.—
“ Come forward, and patronize an art truly
great and sublime.”
“ My bill, it you please, is just six dollars,’
calmly remarked the gypsv, without taking the
slightest noiice Oi the Major, who was coining
forward for the mystic work.
“Very well,” retorted Mrs. Fallingate, rather
annoyed at the gypsy’s strange conduct, “ we
will make the bill nine, if you please.”
“ 1 desire no more than I have earned, and
decline telling this old man’s fortune, for hatred
against our race is written upon his wrinkled
brow ”
“ You wrong inc deeply, madam, else the
signs upon my carved forehead deceive you. I
never denounced your race, but your incom
prehensivc vocation. However you ne- and not
stay any longer for my benefit,” promptly re
sponded the Major.
The gypsy woman received her payment
without uttering another word, and took her
leave.
Daring these grave proceedings the clouds
had gathered suddenly, and an unexpected
storm was the depressing result. For a while
it seemed as if the lovely city was doomed to
share the retributive fate of Bodom and Gomor
rah. A tempest raged with a violence which
caused strong men to tremble, and timid
creatures to wail and lament. The artillery of
heaven sent lorth its prolonged pe tis and vivid
sheets of lightning pierced through the appal
ling scene, which rendered day far more hide
ous than the dreariest night in December. Tor
rents of hail and raio poured down incessantly,
and B(reetß appeared like so many swift and
muddy canals, viciously determined to deluge
the peaceful majestic Delaware. The windows
of heaven were open. The destruction in and
around the city was beyond immediate calcula
tion, and the morning papers of the following
day were perused with unusual interest.
Maj Bow'en and Mr. and Mrs. Fallingate sat
silently before the front windows, engaged in
readiug gloomy accounts born out of the fright
ful tempest Suddenly Mrs. Fallingite broke
the silence by exclaiming, in a tremulous voiec :
“ Dear me ! Listen.” And without oflaring
an apology f r her abrupt disturbance, she pro
ceeded to read a “ local ” of the Examiner :
“ Struck by Ltoutnino —Yesterday after
noon, during the tremendous storm, a poor
gypsy woman, while crossing Broad street,
between Buttonwood street and the Beach road,
was struck by lightning. Officer McAnliff at
once procured a conveyance and brought the
sufferer (o the city hospitd, where medical aid
was fr ely r ffered. Her right side was com
pletely paralrz -d, and badly burned During
the night, her case bee -ming critical, she fer
vently desired to be allowed to die in the h inds
of the Bisters o! Charity, and her request was
complied with without delay.”
While the three were seriously meditating
upon tile sad intelligence, the door bell rang.
Mrs. Fallingate ins, inctlvely arose and threw
(lie window open ; but a short glance without
caused tier to sink backward into her easy
chair, and slie faintly whispered :
“ O Albert! Tbe fatal letter !”
Presently tho. door softly opened, and Jane
a servant, banded Ihc long exp clod missive lo
her frightened mi dress. The recipient tore it
hastily open, and consumed its contents iu
silence. She suddenly threw the document
upon the centre (.aide, rushed to the door, and
ca'led loudly' for Karl, the man servant, who,
at that moment, happened to be standing in
the hall, busily making love to fiir Jane.
“ Karl, get the coach ready this instant, and
convey us to the St. Hospital without
delay,”
She then returned, picked up the rmtonchea
b tier, and slowly read :
“ Dear Maitaw : Come to me at once. I
have a great secret to impart to you before I
die. The great God, whose power 1 ever defied,
has brought us together in his own way. Come
with a forgiving heart, I implore you, for light
ning struck me, and I am dying, surely dying.
‘ Yours, truly rq>< nting, the gypsy,
Nobah.
“ P. S.—Bring your husband, and the old
man whom you called you” father, for I want
to make my peace on earth and prepare for
heaven. N.”
Before another hour had passed away, Mr.
Fallingate, his wife and the Major, were seated
in the flick room of the unfortunate suffrer.
A Bister of Charity, who had been summoned,
entenrt, and, upon learning; the names of the
visitors, she meekly whispered—
“ She sleeps, but. I must wake her; it is her
request, lest she should wake no more.”
So saying, she gently approached the bed.
Tlie patient opened her gypsy eyas, and stared
about her in a bewildered manner. Seeing
Mrs. Fallingate, 6he clasped her baud together,
and groaned,
“O Regina! My child, my child! Come
close to my side. Ah 1 your husband ?”
“At your service,” promptly replied Mr.
Fallingate.
“Oh, I have deceived you and wronged
Regina, your wile j hut the Lord, blessed be
histnmc, turned evil into good. It was i who
told you your fortune, years ago, if you but
remember. I deceived you, ns gypsies do who
practice and follow the ungodly pro'ession of
fortune-telling. Tcs, believe m?, we are situ
rated with cunning deceit.”
Mr. Fallingate stood like one petrified, and
unable to speak ; but the gypsy continued:
“ Learn how 1 obtained my information con
cerning you. As 1 entered tlie back door 1
noticed two large trunks, lettered, ‘A. Fal
lingate, Philadelphia, Pa., Nortli America.’—
This was my key-note, with which I sounded
the unsuspecting servant girl, who volunteered
all necessary information.”
“ But how about my wife, and our romantic,
yet happy meeting ?” gasped tie stonished
man. “ she servant surely had no knowledge
of the eoming incident ?”
“ No, hut l did It. was 1 who contrived it
all, for gypsies are as deep as the ocean, and as
calculating as astronomers, in whose skill, in
fact, rests the secret ( f their snpp and super
natural ability, which, in reality is but pro
fanity. Regina w.s my adopted chi and, whom 1
gave in charge to a stern but sagacious woman.
Willi her t accomplished my object in procur
ing for Regina a good and noble hns! and, and
I trust you have nothing to regret.”
Mrs. Fallingate felt like one Ihnmh r struck
at this strange revelation; but anxiety and
curiosity combined gave her strength to remain
tranquil
The Major, pleased at hear.ng his sentiments
eonft' ined, ventured, with a glimmer of triumph
in liis sparkling eyes, to advance a few steps,
so as to catch every word the dying woman
spoke.
As the gypsy noticed and recognized the old
man, she began to tremble, as though suffering
from a sudden attack of "chills ; but she soon
rallied again, and, in a subdued voice, begged
the Major to draw nearer.
“ Take my hand and say, ‘ forgive yon ns l
hope to be forgiven.’ ”’
Major Bowlen complied with her request,
not knowing what the woman meant, however,
hut enriosity and expectation frequently nerve
tlie strongest man.
« Do you remember the poor gypsy whom
yon rudely commanded to leave your house
eleven or twelve years
woman wns I, Norah, the gypsy. I sought re
venge, and I found it.—yes, sweet but cruel re
venge—God forgive me! Major, I was a wicked
woman ; buts repent, therefore prepare your
self to harken to a confession which will touch
yonr heart, to its inm rmost recesses. Know
now, sir, that your child is not dead, tint 1,
Norah, the gypsy, stole it, and placed its little
clothes where you louud them, iu order to de
ceive you and avoid detection.”
The old man frantically rushed forward, fell
upon his knees, and joyously exclaimed—
“ Woman, where is my child, tnv darling
Minnie? Oh, whet eis she ? Where is eke?”
The patient looked upon the old father with
eyes filled with apparent hatred and anger ;
they, however, melted into shining sympathy
and pity, and she resumed—
“ MaD, do you truly forgive me from the
bottom of your heart f”
“ 1 do—l do 1 And blessings rest upon yon !
But tell me where to find her. Where is she ?”
“ She is here! She is here! Regina, my
adopted daughter, is your child, Minnie, whom
I, Norah, the gypsy, feloniously carried* away.
The little diamond ring she wore then, and
which, I believe, is still in her possession, is
the only prool I can offer of my truth.”
The scene which ensued is far better imagined
than my pen can describe it, aud rather than to
do injustice to the touching through
my deficiency, I will leave it to the reader’s
lucid imagination.
After many warm embraces, and hot tears of
gratilude and joy, Mrs. Fallingate feelingly re
marked to her overjoyed parent:
“ Would to God my mother could witness
our happiness, lather! Then—”
“ Stop. Regina! Excuse me for calling you
by the n)roe I forced upon you, but 1 am not
yet done. L’steu, then, in silence, for death is
nigh, aud my hours are couuted. But I caunot
leave you thus. Major Bowlen, 1 know by
the expression of your eye that I am forgiven ;
you will also forgive my husband aud son ?”
“Certainly,” prompt yjrejoined the Major.
“I forgive the husband, wife and son—in fact,
all mankind. And may the Supreme Ruler of
Ihe Universe be merciful to you on the day of
Judgment!”
“ Amen 1” silently r. sponded all.
“ Raise uny head higher,” feebly gasped the
sufferer, “ so that I may finish my errafessiou
before God takes me from hence, for 1 feel my
time is dose at hand.”
The good Sister of Chari'y at once readjust
ed the pillows, and the gypsy feebly spoke for
the last time;
“ Major, your wife, too, still lives. Ah, old
man, banish that doubtful look, for the gypsy
who wronged you so long deceives you no
longer. I solemnly repeat that your wife still
lives, but pray interrupt me not. You remem
ber your wife retired in good health, and wis
found dead iu the morning. Bhe was buried
the following evening, aud placed in a newly
built tomb. You arc also aware that she suf
fered for many \eirs from the attacks of what
is termed ‘ nightmare,’ and often predicted
that you would find her dead some morning.
You look astonished, but 1 say this to gain
your confidence, as It bears testimony to the
truthfulness of my statement. My husband
and son were then in the neighborhood, strong
ly bent upon plunder, aud you, sir, was their
intended victim. There they learno J that Mrs.
Bowlen was to be buried with her full set of
jewelry, which was reputed as being very
valuable. Piovidcd with sundry keys, they
entered, at the midnight hour, the
sacred receptacle. Fear was foreign to
their guilty s mis. They opened the coffin in
great haste, and there, before them, slept the
robbed and childless mother, arrayed fn gold
and precious stones, as reported. They rudely
divested her of everything save one large.dia
mond riug. It would not come off, in spite of
all eflorts. At last, tired of effoi ts, and anxious
to depart, my hu band .attempted to cut the
finger, when —O horror! —’he lady gave a
shriek which pierced the midnight quiet, and
even tbe wretched souls of the base robbers.
God forgive them and help them to repent !
As soon as they w re able to collect their scat
tered senses, they realized the fict that. Mrs.
Bowlen was alive, quietly sitting in her coffin.
But it soon became apparent that she was in
sane. They took her out of her prison,
brought her to Dover, crossed the Channel,
and to-day she enjoys Ihc skillful treatment of
the best phvsicians in ihe Chircnton Insane
Asylum, in France. The price of her jewelry

Major Bowlen, with daughter and son in
law. proceeded at once to France, and found in
the famous Asylum of Charenton, the unhappy
Mrs. Bowlen. Her keepers were surprised
when they discovered Unit her protestations,
explanations, and fervent ajqioals for perrais
sion to return to her native home and husband
had not been the ravings of insanity, as ropre
sented by the vile looking man who brought
her, bnt stern realities.
The joy of tbe poor woman at meeting, in her
saddest hour of l fe, not only her kind, affec
tionate husband, bnt also her long long lost
darling, Minnie, knew no bounds. Years lmd
wrought external changes, hut the mother’s
love was Hill the same, and ihc father’s doting
care and kiudness were as of yore. They left
again the land which gave birth to tlieir afflic
tions, and arc to-day the happy inmates of a
magnificent mansion, which is an ornament to
Hirard Avenue.

COTTON.

Cotton this week opened firm, with a moderate de

wards it ruled quief, while holdets did not offer freely.
The demand was sufficient to take all that was put
on the maiket, on tho basis of 22@22 H lor good
styles of Lov< rpoel Middling. The only important
transet ons occurred on Thera’ay, as will be seen
below. To-day it closes unchanged.
The comparison of receipts and shipments by rail
road and river for the week makes tho stock on hand

There was some improvement In business this week,
an active demand having prevailed In the provision line.
Them was quite a buoyant feeling in the Bacon mar
ket, while flour was very active and advanced. In
reference to the act passed by Congress admitting
Coffee nnd Tea free of duty, it is not thought prices
will fall, at least not more than lc. for Ihe present, as
th. re is a speculative feeling in the market. Tho
duty p-id on stock in warehouses will be remitted,
bnt tho eteck now on the market will not ho reduced
at a'l in price.
UAOON-*Was quite actlvo during the week, with a
bn ynnt feeling. Respond ng to the advance reported
lost week in the West, (here was a decided incre se
>n prices here. Quotations are now on the basis of
BX(siß4i' for Bacon Hides, with a fair slock. There is
a good demand for Tennessee MeatatHJf for Bides,
while the stock is light,
HCorn— Is active and in demand with a fair
stock. We quote white, 97(tA98 by car load, and yel
low, 9n@97.
Wheat—ls nominal, from the fact that wc are just
upon the. eve of the now crop, while there is none on
the market here, therefore any quotations would
hardly be correct at present..
•. Oats—Are slightly lower, being now 70@72X for
mixed. '
Peas—Are now quoted at fl 15@1 25 an advance
of 10.
Flohb—ls very stiff'with a good stock. City mills
have advanced their prices to $9 50 for superior and
13 for fancy; country and Western is quoted at IBQ
12.
Balt—The stock is small, while prices are firm and
tending upward. We quote Liverpool, 76(1491 B*.
Bra a as—Are steady at our last quotations.

is anticipated for the present.
