Yes, Hester Brighton has promised to meet mo down in the glen, where the violets bloom and thnlurioM hold their .Midnight auriuvnlx.” But this fair young girl would be a form idable rival to Queen Mub. A small, graceful Ugure, with the face of a Grecian goddess; a profusion of golden ringlets, violet eyes, uud u perfect rosebud of a mouth. Beautiful though she was, she lived in utter ignorance of her loveliness. At the village the poor old people blessed her; the children worshiped her, and even the dumb beasts tnrped their wondering eyes toward liefiii a loving way. She wended her way t ir, u ;!i the little word and arrived at the trysting place a full hour before the appointed time. Entering a little grotto sue threw herself oil a mossy buuk uud fell to thinking. tr j 'iff if? /|j / 1 How happy she had been jhlß’fmmnn*r ! Her father, a retired aea captain, had come to this small fishing town to repair his health.

Her lover-whs uink*sßmus| of ‘li*r rinse- pros imivyi ev|n *i jW‘ existence ef the grotto, the entrance of which was well bidden by climbing ivy.

Lester Brighton sat on the **<*, : impatiently switching, the purple heads from some thistles with his dainty eane. He waited an hour; live, almost two. Then the dull roar of distant thunder aroused him, and with an oath he sprang p aud directed his steps toward the village. . • Bertha also arose, but Hie buoyancy bad gone from her.step; the hopeful light hud faded from her eyes. Taking a cross path, she hastened down to the beach. The dark clouds had arisen high on the horizon, and flashes of livid light seemed to lent their dense masses. At her feet the uflgored sea tossed and moaned, and the foaming spray dashed with a passionate fury even to where she stood. Nature seemed to mock her tor tmwdheart—to luilgli at her sorrow. She gazed with wild longing from the height of the projecting rook into the seething mass below. One step, and she would be out of misery. Oue leap, and the injured spirit would b© ill rest forever. Just theu U picture arose before her. She again saw the sick-room of her beau tiful mother.

Then, with a blessing for her loved ones still upon her pale lips, her I gentle spirit took flight to the land where the wicked cease to trouble-and the weary find rest. Bertha remembered, and, with a sudden resolution, turned landward, and was soon within the shelter of the cheerful Gothic cottage wliioh her father had chosen for their summer residence. At last the storm burst upon the village with terrible fury. The ruin came down in rushing torrents. The lightning seemed to kindle the very heavens, while the aw ful thunder shook the cottage jo its foun- 1 dotion.

Is it necessary that the beacon should lie kindled ? He had lived through a great tunity without even a trilling smack in sight. What need was there to risk his life ? He reluctantly turns to his cot ou tlve cliff, and the light-house stuuds dim aud dark, towering high above the breakers; Ncoruuig the wind and tempest. Bom ! Bom f A signal gun is beard out at sea. The fishers rush from their homes out into the driving storm to render aid if necessary. Captain Stanley bad gone ou a trip witK a sailer friend, and this night - Bertha expected him home. With a ter ror at her heart that shut out all other feeling, she hastened to the beach, which was already alive with terrified women and palefaced men. All were straining their eyes toward the vessel. * Suddenly u shriek arose high aliove the roaring breakers. Home one had discov ered that the beacon-light was wanting. The coast rocky and treacherous, and with no light out, on the rocks, the ship would lie led to sure destruction. Bertha’s voice ' arose high above the rest. “A thousand pounds to the man who lights the lieneoti to-night.” But for answer she only met agonized, shrinking faces. Every one valued their life too highly to deliberately walk into the jawsof death. “Will no one go ? 'J'hen I will go alone. Give me a boiA, my men, and with God’s help I shall save them.” Men reasoned, and women appealed to heron tlu-ir knees; but she was firm as the rock* at her feet. For five minutes more her boat was battling with the waves, on its way to the rock on which the light house was built. ( The people on shore watched the frail I Imrk with agonizing suspense. (Sometimes she would ride high on a wave, while at times she would bo buried beneath the foaming, boiling waters. Flash upon flash followed, each successive one revealing to i the terror-struck watchers the brave girl, j her yellow hair clinging to her like a glory, ’ her willing arms parting the waves in u resolute wav. Ah ! she has reached the foot of tho rock. A few fruitless efforts, and then success. After a struggle elm bus reached the lighthouse, Slid' uttering a prayer of thanksgiving, she ascended the steep stair. Only a few moments and the beacon shoots forth a fii-yy, glsam. The waves Ufa. illu minated 'for miff a mile, and Mid spfftv ap-1 pears like myraids of burning, shining i sparks. The ship out on the wave had just time to change her course and save herself I front the treacherous rocks. Bertha de scended to her boat again. She knew how dangerous her passage to shore would be, but with only her father’s welfare lu viqw, she must retui'pßhc must tell the people to bnihl mole bon fires on the different rocks. Her boat i" again rooking on the wave. But Bertha's arm ImU lost Us strength, ami wbenpduiost within reach 'of shore, a retreating wave struck the side of the tiny craft, and Ber tha was hurled into the water. Down, down she went; the cries of the people ringing iti her ears. Twice she] rose, aid then the mighty wave closed over her, and slia knew no more. Wo! Roys! Eane be? off! One more turti and we aball be in safe water. Thanka to that beacon to show us the reeks. But wlmt is that ? a woman in the sea! Lower about, my lads. Quick 1 See ysiir struggles*! Igo in myself;- who will ’follow ? “I will,’’ cried several voiers; “lead the way, captain.” With aid of ropes and firm will the young woman was soon safe on board. Tho ship j was now in safe waters, BOd'tho passengers I crowded into the cabin to steal a glance at tfie creature who bad been rescued All (t the curious was Captain ,Stunloy.

Then she womd sit up, and with glaring eyes, shout: “Will no one go V Then 1 will go alone.” But hers w is a strong nature, mid when the luver left her she lii.v'til helpless ns a babe, scarcely oimipreheudiftg that it was her father wluigave her the cooling drink or Lathed the poor, liot brow.

When she was able to Ixsir it, her father told who'saved lwr for him, and Bertha grew to watch the hand some, thoughtful face of her preserver. He would sit with her for hours reading todiei’, pr relating some of hia adventures; or fie W'dtihl speak of ttie gmdle mother who was fur away, and, before Bertha be came aware of the fact, she had forgotten false Lester Brighton, and put in his puce a worthier fuoo. Day after day Royal Harlow watched the nmtm stealing baek to Bertha’s cheek and when she had recovered, he proposed a visit to the light house. How differently tho boat glided on the wave now. No dashing, roaring waters ;uo fiery angry heavens. They as cended to the lantern, and Brethu again beheld the deep, blue sea, which needed mi lieacon now. Royal Harlow drew her close to him, and snid with a trembling voice; ! ,“Bertha, once yon thrown gleam far o'er i these waters. The beacon sent our ship I into safe waters. Will you light a beacon w ith vourlovo for tho stormy waters of my life The girl looked tenderly* i: to her lover’s eyes and answered: “You have.snatched me from the sea. You have saved my dear old father a great sorrow. M-y life is yours, and Royal, I love you. ” Two months from that time there was a quiet, w edding in tho white village church. On the gvei'u tJie villagers held a mmy dance. The old lighthouse is firing With wreathes and tho beacon beams brighter than ever; while ever uud anon from the crowd sound ringing cheers. Men, wo men, and children join in beartilly, and all cry : “Long live Captain Harlow and his bomne bride. —-—-—-*•- A noted politician and divine, who was an expert nt a horse trade, is reported to lmve sold a borsoto one of his deaeons.

The Tigress Catastrophe. Nkw Yobk, April 11.- A dispatch from St. John, M. F., in relutinon to the acei. dent on the sealing steamer Tigress gives the following report from the captain of the steamer Panther, vessel which brought the intlligenee to Ht. John on the 3d in stant. The Panther was in longitude 61 degrees 16 minutes west, latitude 60 de grees 2U minutes north, on her return to Ht. John. The lookout re|>orted a steamer apparently moving only under sail. As we approached her it was discovered that she hull her flags at half must.. Hub seuqnontly, and after signalling her, I or dered a boat to be lowered and went on board myself, when 1 discovered her to lie the steamer Tigress of Polaris fame. The captain ami chief officers were on deck when 1 got, on board. I was then in formed that on April 2, at two o’clock in the afternoon, the vessel was shaken nil over by n terrible explosion of her boiler, which created great terror and confusion, as the escaped steam completely enveloped every compartment below. In conse quence, all steam facilities had been des troyed, and they bad then been under sail against a headwind for twenty-four hours. When I reached the deck of the Tigress, I observed a number of men were engaged ip carpenter’s work, making and nailing together a number of rough pine wood boxes. I naked the commander wbattlioy wero for, awl he fluid they were ib signed for receiving the bullied of the unfortunate men who had bt-en killed by tho acci dent. (>n the dav the explosion, snid the eup tiun of the Tigress to me, the weather was dreadfully cold, and a rough breeze, snqwing and a heavy swell on. A num ber of men lmd gone bi I>w lie watch, and hud turned in on top of the noilcr for the salve of w armth. Ninteen of the crew were reposing in this way when a crash occurred, and some of them were literally scalded beyond recognition, The consternation was fearful. The two engineers were on duty at the time, and both were killed. We left them, continued tho captain of the Panther, ou the afternoon of the 3d, making for land under sail, and promised to report the bisaster imiuediatly on our arrival. I did not ascertain the names of the men, as all the officers of the Tigress appeared in great grief aud could give but few par ticulars. The dispatch further says that since the captain’s statements was made yesterday, it was learned that the Tigress has arrived off the coast and had put into Bay Hu bert, where in ail probability she will laud her dead and wait for assistance. After the Polaris matter had been dis posed of, the Tigress was fitted out for u • aud fishing trip and was returning .South at the time with her “catch,” when the_ter iible disaster occurred. How Birds Learn to Sing and Build. What is instinct 1 It is the “faculty of performing complex acts absolutely with out iiist motion or previously acquired knowledge. ’’ Instinct, tliou, would enable nriifnals to perform spontaneously acts which, ib the eftSe of man, presuppose ratiocination, or a logical train of thought. But when we test the observed facts which are usually put forward to prove tin* power of instinct, it is found that they are seldom conclusive. It was on such grounds that tho songs of birds were taken to be innut ■■ albeit a very ready experiment would have shown that they result from flic education they receive. During the last century Barrington broughthp some. lin nets, taken from the nest in the company of larks of sundry varieties, and found that every one pi ttie linnets adopted completely the song of the master set over him, so that now these liiffiets kirks by naturalization form a company apart w hen placed among birds of their own species. Even the nightingale, whose native soug is so sweet, exhibits, under domestication, a consider able readiness to imitate other singing birds. Tho song of the bird is therefore, determined by its education, and tin- same thing must he true .as ti/m-st -buildiug. A bird brought up in a cage does not con struct file nest peculiar to its species. In vain will yon supply all the necessary ma terial!!; the bird will employ them without skill, and will oftentimes even renounce all purpose of building anything like a nest. Does not this well-known fact prove that, instead of being guided by instinct, the bird learns hnxv to const mot his nest, just as a man learns how to build a house V — A Captive Own Fed nr its Math.- My. Abraham Orator, of Fat,land Farm, Lowe*- l’roviduwv.township,Montgomery county, Ala., rxL-U&I the following interesting fact:: Abinit a vent ago hhVsons o:mgbt> a large gray ow l in the woods,and, taking it home, confined it in ft cage and placed it upon the porch. At night this bird commenced to warble tho notes peculiar to its species. Mr. Orator was surprised to see his porch scattered with feathers,and a rabbit's head lying on it. This occurred morning after morning,;' when Air. Orator came to the conclusion that somethin? was feeding flic owl, which be set about finding out; 'Consequently he put the owl. in a recess under the bake oven- and fixing a door on the trap, went to seep. In the morning the trap had been sprung, the door yous down, and an additional owl was imprisoned. It was very evident that this was the mate to No. 1, as no other rabbit beads or feathers were, found after the sec ond ow l was captured. A Judicial Decision. That erudite and speckled body, the j Supreme Court of South Carolina, has just ! given a decision which opens up a lively | prospect for tho stockholders of tlm old ! banks of Charleston. Tho News aud Cour : ier says: The decision Is one of startling import I The general facts of the case were ns fol ! lows: In September, 18*1, Mr. Whaley had funds to liis credit-, in the Bank of Charleston, to a considerable amount. All the Bunks of the State, including the Bank of Charleston, published a resolution that, after the Gth of September, 1861, all j credits would be given and bo payable in currency, including Confederate Treasury Notes. ‘ Mr. Wlmley continued to deposit and draw funds during the year 1861-6ff-6i? aud ti-t. until, according to his pass-book, every thing had been drawn out except 874, and, according to the bank books, every dollar bad been drawn out. No pro test against the payment of the ifhecks in Confederate money had boon made to the bank, but the checks had been drawn and paid and the money accepted in the usual manner. The account was regarded by the bank as closed. In #IB7O Mr. \\ haley brought suit, claiming that the amount [mid on his checks should not be charged against him for the fare value, but for the sealed values according to the value of | currency in gold. The decision of the Supreme Court Mr. Justice Willard dissenting) sustains I this claim, and decrees that the account shall be opened and the deposits and checks be scaled and the balance added to bite gold deposited tohis credit in 1861, and a decree entered therefor. Galveston. Texas, is growing. Its pre sent population is 34.350. h increase of ,20 000 in the last three years. Trial by Jury a Failure in Italy. Your r“ftders, fed on liberty as fire is fed by air, will with difficulty understand that the jury-, far from being a source of pro gress in matters relating to penal offenses, ih a standing scandal, a perpetual source of shameless white-washing of the most odious crimes anil of tho vilest criminals. Fraud, robbery, indecency—the juries ab solve all. They have even gone so far as to evoke “extenuating circumstances” for parricide. Let ns go on for another two years in this style, and social order will be tho victim of a corruption the more dangerous because it is uneouciims. An Italian jury is not bought and sold, but it finds an excuse for its weakness in its indignation at the horrors carried out un der former aystems. The Italian juryman is not vonnl, but be lias no faith in tho police, aud less in tho agents of public se curity; and ho fears responsibility. He has the greatest horror of crime and of criminals; but he has a wholesome fear of the severjty of the “Imperial Procureur” and of the “Judged - Instruction.” He baa personal knowledge of those who legislate, and of their incapacity: and he fears that, in Iran h ng tho guilty, he may injure an innocent person. The (ruth is, that liberty is like all other good things in this world; one must know how to use it. Asa principle, 1 ad mit that it is impossible, and that it would be impolitic and dangerous to sup press tho trial by jury: but it is indispen sable, on the one band, to regulate its fiiuctionH, aud, on the other, to extend the authority of tho judge. Thank heaven I if the political world is sombre and threatening, if the financial strata bo threatened with a plethoric peace if the legislative machine, and especially the judicial brunch, present symptoms of paralysis highly alarming, we see in the development ol private enterprise evidence which are positively marvelous. —Chicago Tribune. ■**♦- Tint Pbesidkn'i os Inflation. The Washington correspondent of the New York liernhl, of Tuesday, says the question having been raised whether the (’resident will sign an act increasing the legal tender circulation to $40,000,000, in connection w ill the proposed increase of national hanking capital, it can be authoritatively stated that sneli an act will be promptly signed by the President, ill this connec tion the President has said that the pro posed enactment respecting the ic-gal tender circulation won il only lie regarded as definitely setting tin interpretation of existing law, about wliic'i members of Congress had honestly differed, but res pecting which he liad entertained no doubt, as evinced under Mr. Boutwclls and his successor's administration of the Treasury Department. Ho if t ongress should fall to puss the pending measure the Secretary of the Treasury would bo at liberty to use the balance of the legal tender reserve, now amounting to if 18, 000,000, He did not see bow this could be otherwise. President"* Pmkerton. Allan Pinkerton is still engaged in work [ ' ing up the case of the Missouri train rob | bars. What progress lie has made, or what moans hi) will take to si emc their j capture or extermination, lie declines to; ; make public, as such publeation, he as- ! i serts, would tend to deteat the ends of , ; justice. In adopting this policy Mr. Pin-, | kerton is only repeating tlio line of action ! pursued by him when lie worked up the ! celebrated Reno gang, who for years were the terror of Southern Indiana. 1 ha 1 gang he had the.satisfaction of “planting", which was also a satisfa trim to tin* pc -pie |of Indiana. If Atlaui Piukurtou does not ! succeed in doing the same for the Missou ri banditti, those who kuow his stern and 1 indexible ill teuuuialioii will be greatly disappointed. - Chase’s Old Law Omen Through i curiosity one of our reporters dropped in j at the former law office of tho late Chief .Justice, ou Third street, and there found Ins late partner, Regter Ball. Tho old ! sign of “Chase Ball” is still over the I door, and the old library and office furni ture remain as they were nearly forty years I ago. What a world of associations cluster | around this spot; the desk upon which was 1 written by the lamented Chase the act rc ; pealing ttie “Black Laws” of Ohio, and nt i which lie sat when lie predared his groat argument, in the lan Zandt case. In those days there were three representatives of universal freedom in the Senate of the | United States, and only three Chase, 1 Halo and Sumuer, all of whom within the you have passed away. - - Shooting ok Young Breckenbidge.— i Louisville, April 11.— He and some com- (pauions had boon drinking during ttie 1 day, and a seemingly playful dispute arose between Breckenriage aud John L. Ander i son, son of tho Mayor of Lebanon, about | the possession of an umbrella belonging to lircckrnridgo. This was finally* quieted and Breckenridgo asked the party to drink. While they were leaning over the bar, Anderson suddenly drew a derringer and, placing it at Breekenridge'.s bead, tired, tho ball penetrating his bruin. Galveston (Texas) Nnrs: “Last week a \ largo party of citizens left Brown county* : mid joined another party from Column ’ county, to ‘go for’ a lot id’ cattle drivers. 1 There was also in attendance a company of United States cavalry. They succeeded ; in surrouuding the camp of tho cowboys j and made a capture of fourteen without i hurting anybody. The surprise was so complete that not a shot, was fired. Two jof tao party were held in bond of ! 81,(100 each to appear for trial on tlio 7tli of March.” The Comanche Chief, a Texas paper, says: “Madame rumor says they are hav ing lively times dowu in Sun Saba. A re port is here, from pretty good authority , that u party went out after a gang of cat tle thieves and hung five of them, and that another strong force was in persuit of another ‘outfit.’ Now that tho cattle nre about all gone, tho trouble Ims begun in earnest. ‘As the horse lias been stolen the door is being fastened, just too late to do ! good.” Much harm is brewing for some body. *- The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher makes this reply in the Christian I n ion to a query* as to whether it is wicked to dance. “It is wicked when it is wiekeil, and not wicked when it is not w icked. In itself it has no more moral character than w alking, w restling or rowing. Bad company, un timely hours, evil dances, may make the exercise evil; good company, w holesome hours, and home influences, may make it a very great benefit.” Lannt Thompson’s statue of Gen. Win i field Scott, intended for the grounds of the Soldiers’ Orphans’ Home at \\ ashingtou, is now on exhibition in Philadelphia. It 1 represents the general standing erect, with one hand in the breast ot his coat, and the | other upon his sword; wearing the uniform 1 of a lieutenant general, and with a military cloak thrown over his shoulders and tied [ carelessly in front.
