BY WII.UAM COMSTOCK. That doming events cost their shadow* before i apparent enough when ou<> re colteet* that the East. River lm* been grow ing mme and wore narrow lor the last hundred years. When Litidley Murray jumped herons Pecji slip, it, crime up ns far im the southern limb of Pearl street, That was in the time of tire Involution. I re member well when James slip crime up as far as Water Street, and, at low lido, the black mud, rijm with drowned kittens arid pitpjfie*, furnished Bn undesirable nosegay ( for the provision stores which lined tire -wharf fr om Front to Water street From James slip down, tiro water rime lip to Front street until it reached Dover, where Month street commenced, and ran ea fur as Feck slip, ttm latter owning up to Front street. Between Dover street aud Peek slip lay the Liverpool pockets, lui steamships being in existence at that period. .fust above Dover street rrf the wharves -which bordered on Front street, lay the Nantucket packets, such us tie- sloops Pa triot, Omega, Comet, ltoae, Enterprise, the schooner Lander, and the little brig h ,gle. Near tiiiw apot, hut nn flic opposite side of Fiont street, stood a small red brick hortse, with a swinging sign, on which lmd been painted in tins olden time a strange, red animal resembling a horse, w ith large, bit like wings. At any rate this establish meet was styled ‘‘The lied Horse Taven," and tiero it was that (toasters ami men em ployed about the wharves cuuio to slake their thirst. A voting girl, with very red hair and hirgf\ bine, liin|hing eyes, waited on eus tomers at the lair, and no one thought of laughing at her red hair, ns the extreme Inanity of her features and herlorm atoned for alt dcftcienoes, should any one be so fastidious as to red hair as a. deficiency. For my part X can nay of it as De.mffn til ant said of liver, “I admire it.” This fact was soon evident to Fanny Wakefield, who, while answering such de mands as “Three of mm hot, with a lump of sugar," “Two twos of Old Tom, please, Jliisa, ' “Pot of six ale, please,” from per son* of all oountries and conditions who flocked to the lied Horse, found time to Hive an occasional glance over her shoul der, and to lot me know, liy a faint smile, end ou important occasions by a wink,, tluit I was not quite forgotten. Hut, It was on Monday afternoon that T was favored nbove all other nun, “quite in tho verge of heaven,” for it was tljen that X had Fanny all to myself, and, With liv ing streamers and straw Hat, be went with mo wheresoever I listed, except when I ’listed for the war in 1812. Hue did not go with me then, bnt she was ready to re ceive me when I came back in the full flush of her womanly charms, and just nineteen years of age. As I hail a few thousand dollars at my disposal, £ proposed tho purchase of a farm. She went into raptures; but I had my doubts. Mho had been uncustomed to much society, to the sight of tho water aml the shipping and had watched the shiploads of emigrants trudging up the wharf in their strange attire. Could it ho possible that she would like the quiet, tho loneliness of a country life ? Mho replied “Ifos,” and surely she ought to know n tewr ‘ncfvs bn Long Island, Brooklyn was a small town then, and thevo was no Willianislmrgh worth men tioning. Wo oruMod the East River in u horse-bout—the Yiorso went round and round, in a cider-mill, and that turned the paddle-wheels and kept, tho boat in motion. 1 was not a little surprised to discover that I’aiftiy really enjoyed a country life, and was well satisfied to livo with mo as her only coiupaniou, Mins loved her homo nml gavo evidence that she was sincerely devoted to her hus band. Of what, then, could 1 find fault ? Perhaps that, I should have found no fault at all had 1 duly reflected that all human being.! have faults,, and that perfection is not to tie found on this side tho grave. .But 1 did not take that view of tho sub ject, and, therefore, when Fanny evinced a desire that I should drive ahead ami make mouoy —when she seemed dissatis fied with my occasional days of rest or recreation, it struck me that sho was want ing in tenderness and that she was disposed to make nw a slave; and that idea was par ticularly disngreealdo to mo when I re membered that, sho outno to me without the tot red emit, and that all we had in the world camo through mo, and wna the product of my toil and judgment. 1 should never have thought of that, how ever, if she Inal nut annoyed iuo in the manner I have monthmed. At first I simply reasoned with F’auny, ami endeavored to convince li. r that all work aul no play nun la Jack a did! boy. That or some other plea would satisfy Fanny for the time, or, at least, it woiilt’l sill-lieu her; and then, perhaps, an hour afterward, when I took down my fishing rod, or brought out my best pair of hoots, or began to brush iny dross emit, she would pul ou that same lowering ooun teiiauue ami do lior work by jerks that de noted iiupsUenee and dissatisfaction. “Why don’t you spoak out, mv dear ? ' said I, on one of those occasions. “1 would rather know just what yon think than to see you fret and flout in that man ner. ” “You would rather,” replied she; “O, yes. uiy lord and iu.atr. no doubt ev eiything should be as you would rather. 1 know you would rather bo shooting, or boating, or fishing, or going to some pisguey horse race than to stay at home and work like me. ” “But, Fanny, my work is nil done at present. Why should I hung around the bouse doing mllotus ? You thoaght tin)*® flounders were goiil which I brought home hist week.” By this time Fauny’a pas don become heated, and she made an observation which she u n,t have known would give me groat oCeii.-w. It ndated to an nnitn- Aw passage iu iuy i.imily history. At the moment 1 was blacking my booth on flic lir<*s(J ytjehon hearth, nifhsn we had in ; the ohTcii time. ‘ Nekr me whs n flat-inn’! Determined to show Fanny that 1 wn* j seriouoly offended and to frighten her at J Ihe snms time, 1 cvrigid up the Mt-iron I and hurled it ptrllv in l*r direction as if j f had really ruined it nt her Bear}, but 1 taking care that, it should stnko tlje Wall j about six foot from her. ; AU would have been us 1 intended had not Fanny movtd quickly to one side at j the moment. Ah the heavy missile left my hand, I perceived that it must come in contact with Fanny’s head. My blood ran Cold; 1 sprang forward, but iu vain; the point of the flat-iron struck the poor girl pn the left temple, and she dropped heavily to tilt’ floor. The only thought that oppressed me when I Ami Fstiny fhlt was the lossjwhioli I Imd sustained, for 1 felt certain tbit my wife WHS dead. i Then came thn grief of her relatives, and Ikosy ui|itlry wUioit svprjr pug would feel for me in my Is'VoaveTm’Vit The stunning effect of my lons left no room for any other eousideratiop; and tbtis half an hour elapsed before the fact began to ■lawn upon tnv ootnprehension that rela tives and Meigiilxirs might possibly ques tion my right to throw flat irons at my wife, and that instead of sympathy I : might meet with censure; and, filially, 1 recollected Unit men bad got into trouble | by knocking out the bruin* of their wives, i Thus then it stood that, while I felt my self to tie the most unfortunate and the most bereaved of men, I expected to be regarded na the most guilty of mortal*. 1 eifpectefl to lie arrested and tried for an act wliieli no one regretted Imlf so much i os myself, and to be punished for sending I a person out of existence whose death was j a greater loss and a greater grief tomej than to all the li st, of the world put to- i gather ! Vet, if I could have been struck dead on the spot, killed as l bad killed Funny, 1 should have esteemed it a great mercy. But, to be arrested, dragged to prison, consigned to a dungeon, execrated and criticised in tho newspapers, taken to court mid put in the prisoner’s box to be stared and jeered lit. by every loafer in town, tried, condemned, and Anally exe cuted on a gibbet, all that was worse than a dozen such deaths ns Fanny had died. Therefore, I began to think that, I lmd trio long delayed taking proper measures for my own safety. In the first place, after having tried in vain to resnucitato the body of Fanny, 1 dragged it into a pantry near tho door of which she Imd fallen;and, just then, Ame lia, the kitchen maid, came in, haring re turned from mi errand, I went straight to the pantry door. Iter Imnd was already niiou the hitch when I caught liohl of her dress behind, and told her to stop. She looked up surprised. “J have set a trap," said TANARUS, in a whisper;' “we’ll lmve a rut euugUt in a moment. Don’t go in now, or you’ll frighten him away. He was just coming out of his hole when I looked in, just now." “laird, sir ! rats I" cried she; “how you frighten one I If I’d known there was rats in the house— well, I deelaro!” Boon afterwards 1 locked tho pantry door mid wrote a letter which 1 carried to tho past-office. It wan directed to my sis ter .Sophia, in the city, begging her to come to my house, and to be sure not to arrive till after dark. 1 kept, Urn pantry locked nil that after noon, which made Amelia declare that the rate gave “more trouble than they were worth." in the night, when everyone was asleep. I put the body of my wife down cellar, and burled it about two feet deep under ground, In the morning, the pantry was once mwe at the ser rice of Amelia, who was given to understand that my wife was confined to her room by a violent headache; nnd a great, pity too, I added, aa her sister was down with the influenza, and lmd sent for her. Bophia arrived in tho evening, when V took lior immediately into my wififs room and revealed to her what had happened, her horror and distress were extreme, but she entirely cxonlpated me from the charge of willful murder, and undertook to secure mo from the etfoets of my rash ness, by personating my wife. Accord ingly, dressed iu a suit of my wife’s clothed, and concealing her face from Arae lin, she went, sway with me in a chaise early in the morning. Every ope who j saw ns mistook her for my wife, and it was understood that we had gone to see ray wife’s sister, who was very siok with tho influenza. It may be as as well to say iu this place that my wife never had a sister. Although this story answered u temper * ary purpose, yet it. would not hold good for a very long timu, as Fannin’s father was expected to pay us a visit in the fall; lie would certainly open luh eyes when lie heard of my wife’s sister. It wna then mi firmer. and t might expect a visit from tho landlord of the lted House in about three months. I determined to consult Sophia on the subject,. I went to the city, and did so. She advised that I should absent myself at tho time when Mr. Wakefield was ex pected, while she, keeping house for mo in my absence. Would toll the visitor that his daughter and her husband lmd gone on a tour to Niagara F’alls and tho lakes. For want of a better plan, that one was adopted. Inquiries after my wife and her invalid sister poured in from alt quarters. I was astonished to discover what a hold my poor Fanny had upon tho affection of our neighbors. About tho middle of October, when Wakefield was expected to pay his annual visit. Hop!on caino up from tlio city and stalled herself in the farm-house. I took my departure. I lmd net been gone a Meek before Mr. Wakefield drove up to the door, snapping his whip like a Jehu of the old school. My sister Mophiareceived the old gentle man cordially; but ho had scarcely seated himself in “tho best room" before ho made inquiries about F’anny. “Mho and her husband are at Niagara Falls hy this time,”returned Sophia. “Niagara Falls!” repeated Wakefield, knitting liis brows and fixing bis guno on Sophia's countenance. “I’shaw! tell that to the marines; you don't catch old birds with clmff. My girl is down cellar, ! think!” “Mv Clod! who told you that, Mr. Wakefield ?" exclaimed Sophia, tolling to the ground in a dead faint. Wakefield was astonished beyond mens me, but he eelllll do lie less than attend to the nee- ,-vtioN of Sophia. She recovered after a time, and perceiving by Wakefield’s remarks tluit lie had suspected nothing,! and that she had been needlessly alarmed, she tried to turn off the matter by saying ; that she was onee very much frightened in a cellar, and that at times, any allusion to that part of the house threw her into vio lent hysterics. Hut Sophia was too late. Her exclama tion told too much, and Wakefield, sus pecting that something was wrong, made ioqnireis of \matin and the neighbors,and they ascertained tho fact that Farniy hud not been in the house for sen ml mouths, j My sister perceived that she luid made a ! great blunder. Mr Wakefield had only suspected that Sophia w.is playing off a: joke upon him, and he *usp- cted that Fanny w.u down in tins efllnr, because ho had seen the face of Amelia nt the cellar window, *he oMn.i into the front yard, and he had mjtluk* n it lor the face of Fanny. Hut, now, having learned from Amelia and the neighbors that Funny bad not been seen iu that neighborhood for a long time, lie remembered (Sophia * alarm on his mentioning tho cellur, and her anguish ed cry: “My God! who told you that, Mr. Wakefield?" Mopliia was quick to perceive all this, and she wortejne a letter aud dropped it in the nost offlee of neighboring village. When I received that letter, I saw that there was no time to lose. I bought a sailor’s dress, and hurrying to Boston— where X was not known —I shipped for a foreign port, as a common sailor. In Liverpool, saw the New York Mercantile Advertiser, in which there whs a long ac count of the finding of Fanny’s remain* in the cpltnr;(together with an account of BOpliinii arrest and examination tiy the coroner. (She gave a full and true account of Fanny’s death, and it appears tlmt her story was generally credited; but these, eveutfl jaded the mind of my poor sister too flinch, that she died of a lingering dis ease before my return from abroad. 1 never heard that much search was made after me, and, indeed, my punish went lui* low'll quite sufficient even if I had voluntarily killed poor Funny. — N. Y. SnitiJni/ Mnrvttrjf. nr man i:cut's'on run ocean BUD. The dream that afflicted the wretched Clarence, after dne allowance is made for (Hieticexaggeration, probably gives a fair, though sombre representation of what was till lately supposed to be tho ooudition of the ocoau lid. It were easy to show yb abundant quotation* that the sounding seas were supposed to wash beneath their surface the. bones of unnumbered hapless mariners and that the highway of nations was believed to be (Hived with the relies of disaster. To this picture there was afterward added a yet more weird feature. The notion, derived from experiments on the compressibility of air, gained acceptance that water at great depths was rendered so dense by pressure tlmt, nothing could sink to bot tom iu the ocean. According to this theory, each substance would descend only to a certain point, determined in each ease by it* specific gravity Tims, while the victims of a shipwreck might rest ntu few hundred feet below tlio surface, tho hea vier article of the cargo would remain at various distances below them,' but in tlie greatest depths even the anchor itself would never resell tho ocean floor. And thus the eeu became a mausoleum more strangely occupied than that in which Mohammed's coffin hung suspended, mid water being substituted for mid-air. Each of these conceptions is exactly the reverse of fact. Water is not compressi ble, and does not at any known depth hold heavy substances suspended in it. Belies of humanity of any soft Whatever are mnoyg the very, rarest of curiosities obtained in ni’op aeu dredging. Prof. E. B. Morse, in the course of a discussion on the evolution theory, has cited two good illustrations in proof of the latter state ment. When the Lake of Haarlem was drained, on wiling; surface the commerce of ten centuries lmd floated and several naval battles taken place, no trace of man or his works was lonnd in tho land ro de med from tho ocean. In tho course of twelve, years dredging* off the coast of New England, in tho track where failing vessels constantly plied, one iron spike was the■ sole evidenoo of man's existence brought up from the bottom. The writer of tins article lmd, however, tho Ki'rk to be present on tho occasion of one of the rare exceptions to this general rule. In a dredging cruiso of tho Mite Light, last summer, in Cakuo Bay, the thrawl brought ,'ip, along withanemones,star-fish, skates, fiGuMulpith* s sho| of modem manufac ture, and only remarkable, if at all, ns to its size. What seemed a still more singu lar coincidence won the next haul of the trawl brought up the mate of this big shoe. Xlqi pair were iu a very dilapidated condi tion, as shoes, but they tuck high rank as cnrWiitiea.' The oeouronee was so unusu al that it ha* been suggested that per haps there was legerdemain about it —that it was a neatly contrived hoax. To this the only reply mast be that "seeing is believing.” No one who Raw the shoe taken out of the midst of Ihe trawl pocket was troubled with the. doubt that harrassed King George about the npplednmpling.

A Wisconsin minister has been dismissed from tho orthodox pulpit because ho built a fire under a balky horse. “Kissing your sweetheart, says a trifl ing young man, “is like eating sortji with a fork; it takesa long time to get enough.” A Michigan girl whipped a dry goods clerk who dared to challenge her to a wrestle. Fie ought so have known better. Tho man who cores for nobody and for whom nobody cures, has nothing to livo for that will pay for keeping of soul and body together.

Your former victories should not make yon vain-confident to success. Tho opposi tion are organized for the conflict. Are your forces ready for the field ? Is there union aud harmony in your ranks ? Un ion is success; division is defeat. Select good men, able men, to lead you, and give them a united, hearty, cordial sup port Be not divided by local issues—be ware of jealousies arising from '‘claim* overlooked,” “stocked conventions" aud persotiul prejudices. These are weapons famished by a skillful enemy to break your ranks and defeat your cause. Look with distrust upon “people’s tiekols, “citi zens’ candidates,’’ when brought forward in opposition to your regular uoniiueea. They are subterfuges generally of disap pointed aspirants, who are used by the Opposition to defeat your organization. We cannot afford to destroy or weaken the Democratic party. It has rescued the •State from lladieal misrule; it has broken tlm alliance that existed between power aud crime; it has cheeked the system of public plunder which was driving our peo ple to bankruptcy and ruin; it lias res tored the control of the government to the virtue and intelligence of the State; it Inis given Georgia a position in the Union beyond tbut ol her unfortunate sisters of of the South. Will you, relying upon your majority, grow listless uml uncon- 1 corned V Ucmember bleeding Mouth Car olina. Will you split into petty jealousies and endanger your success ?

Look at plundered I Florida, and determine, tlmt in this eon | test, patriotism shall guide yonr actions, i and love of State control your aspiration* ! and yonr hopes. Your defeat is lladieal rule, and Radical rale is oppression, civil rights hills, plun der, bankruptcy aud social degradation. ■ Your success gives assurance of eonstitu i tioual government, enforcement of law, and maintenance of right, Tho cause is i worthy of yonr e fforts it* success should i he the day-star of yonr ambition, iudivid -1 mil responsibility is essential to a fnvorn | ble termination of tha struggle.

In the Fed eral elections there is grail need of action.
