1 Fact,' it lias been said,' is stran-ger
than fiction.' The following
story, derived from authentic docu-ments,
forcibly illustrates the asser-tion.
One stormy night in I61fian Ital-ian
vessel was wrecked on the coast
of Suffolk, England, lroiu which
only one petson came ashore alive,
lie was a young man ot noble ap-pearance,
win) spoke English with a
foreign accent, and having been car-ried
(o the house of Mi. 1'etre, the
rector of the parish, there grew up
between him and llu'good pastor,
before bia recovery, such a friend-ship
thai liis host would not hear of
liis having.
The young stranger had given
bimsell the simple name of Theo-dore,
and seemed averse to futther
inquiry into his name or affaire, but
he was no gentle in manners, so in-telligent,
and so accomplished, that
be became as a beloved son to I lie
good pastor. ' I was a lonely man,'
said the rector to him repeatedly,
'but heaven has given me a sou in
pity. Yon will not part lroiu me,
Theodore! 1 have enough for both."
The young stranger replied with
warmth to Mr. Petre's kindness, but
ic| eatedly mentioned that he re
quired no pecuniary support—that
lie would receive means enough to
render him independent of all such
aid, on corresponding with his
friends in Italy.
Mr. Petre introduced his new
friend to all « liom be bimsell knew,
and among others to the family of
Mr Balls, one of the principal pro
prietoreoi the neighborhood. This
gentleman was ot an ancient local
bouse, and proud of his descent
from a follower of the Saxon Ilaro'd
at the battle of Hastings. He had
a large family, the eldest of whom
was liis daughter, Mary, a young
lady possessed of great persoual at-tractions
and a bear! gentle and
susceptible. The stranger, so noble
in appearance and elegant in mau
ners, made ere long a deep impres-sion
on her affections, which was
lully reciprocated by the object of
lier regard. Rut be was modest and
unassuming, and so well knew the
difficulties which bis position as au
unknown castaway involved him in,
that, but for an accidental peril
which the young lady sustained in
bis presence, from tbeunmanagea
bleness ot her riding palfrey, the
secret might have been forever lock-ed
up in the recesses ol bis own
heart. The danger of the mistress
dt bis affections, however, called
forth a passionate outburst of love.
It was heard, and responded to ere
the panics concerned could think
ot HUghl el.se.
The lovers met, and met again.—
' This must not be,' said Theodore.
at length, on oueot these occasions;
"your father, dearest Mary, must
be told all. And yet I fear '
'Fear? replied the young lady,
• what l.ave we to lear '.—yon must
be onr equal in birth.' Ami she
glanced with a look ot pride on her
lover's manly and dignified form.
• Birth ! equal in Rirtb !'cried he,
and for the lirst time Mary beheld
something like pride, or even
haughtiness, ou his countenance.—
But ir soon passed away, and he
said: '1 am the equal of your
lather in birth, but circumstances
exist which compel me to be so far
silent on thai point. 1 have sworn
au oath that to no one but the wile
ol my bosom w ill I reveal my name
and origin.'
Mary became thoughtful a! these
wouls, and her lover saw a blush
gather slowly on her downcast
cheeks. He read its signification
as il it had been told iu words.—
• No Mary,' cried he, ' the honor ot
my mother was as unlaiitled as
thine own—as pure as the heaven
that overlooks us ! Rut mine has
been a strange doom. The welfare
Ol others called lroiu me the oath I
have spoken of, and it must be kept.
1 shall satisfy your father—for ere
long I shall have the means—that
I am of good and honorable birth,
and of means, perhaps equal to his
own; uiit my name and family, I
have said, must be made known to
thee alone—if, indeed, 1 ever have
the happiness to call thee mine.'
Theodore did not address himself
to Mr. Halls until he had cominuui-
Bated with his friends in Italy, and
received such credentials as he
trusted would remove aiiy objec-tions
as the lather or Mary might
entertain. Lovers look through a
magnifying glass at all the circum-stances
favorable to their wish, but
apply a diminishing one to all ob-stacles
and difficulties in their way.

The young stranger answered,
' No sir; I am bound by a solemn
engagement to reveal my name only
to her who becomes the sharer of it
with me.'
' That is to gay, that my daughter
is to wed with one who dare not

Theodore's heart was too deeply

him to take offense at the words of
The English squire, whose ances-tors
had been at the battle ot Hast-ings,
did indeed think with sorrow-ful
regret of his conduct, to the last
of the Ciesars of the Bast!
Presidents.
The following table, prepared for
reference- shows the political senti-ments,
and the date of the inaugu-t
cred'ita'ble »<*?" "J ■■* I'reaidenl:, the length
ot time he lived after that event,
and his age at the lime of his death.
1. George Washington, Inde-pendent,
inaugurated 1789; lived
Mr. Rails, especially as his reason
told him they were founded on a
natural feeling. He, therefore,
pressed the father of Mary to look
at the letters from Italy, to which
he had referred.
The other consented, as much
from curiosity as from any other
motive. The, letters were Ironi two
Italian noblemen, aud were evident-ly
according to a form dictated by
Theodore. The writers stated that
they knew the family of Theodore
to be of good distinction, and his
birth to be honorable, though there
were important reasons for conceal-ing
his name and family from the
world at l,uge. They also referred
to his possession of considerable
property, and mentioned other cir-cumstances
of a favorable nature.
We do not wish to lengthen our
story. Mr. Rails declared that if
the register ot baptism of the young
stranger was presented to him along
with these documents, and he were
permitted to show the whole to his
family and friends ho would be sat-isfied.
This decision he adhered to,
and neither the entreaties of Theo-dore
nor the tears of his daughter
could move him to alter it. On the
other hand, Theodore firmly,though
sadly, declared that such a proposal
could never be acceded to by him.
The consequence was that the
young stranger's visits to the bouse
of his mistress were peremptorily
forbidden, although Mr. Petre,
whose confidence iu his guesl's bou
or and integrity was unshaken,
joined his entreaties to those of the
lovers to bring mutters to a favora-ble
close Rut all was in vain.— '
Cau we wonder at the issue! Theo- [
dore and the object of his love met
in secret and finally they were pii- |
vately married. The direct reason
of this rash step was the confident
hope entertained by Mary, that if;
entrusted wi*h the secret of Theo- j
dore, she might, by the strength of
her testimony, reconcile her father |
to their union. She did learn her ;
husband's secret, and such was its

economy iu business, the h.ghest

integrity. When au imployee is
known to diiuk.play cards or swear,

aud obey. They oiler no pre-mium

have no petty informers of Infrac-tions
of a little system ol rules.—
And while they deal largely in cat
tie, their commissary department is
always supplied with the staples of
life, aud the Indian, as well as the
white freighter, here gives in ex-cbuuge,
money, robes, or furs for
\ that which is mdispeusible to our
existence. Here may be found pelts
ol the buffalo,elk, antelope, deer,
panther, catamount, gray,black and
coyote wolves, bear, beaver, otter,
wild car, badger, coon, skunk, pole-cat
and jack-rabbits, all of which
have been bartered for staple arti-cles
by Indians who could not reach
their Reservations without the re-lief
here obtained.
I now mention, because I want to
be the last to fade from my memo-ry,
the names ot Mr. and Mrs.
Haiti's, of this place, with whom we

Rodolphe—a pretty name, to be-gin
with—was the fairest lady in

and wore jewelled slippers ; and all

she were a goddess or a tairy.

While she and her maiiU were sport-ing

passed over them, and they saw an

their clothes had been left. Pres-ently
it arose with something in its
talons, aud wheeling through
golden hazes, became a speck in
the clear sky.
When Rodolphe came up the
bank, she found that one of her jew-elled
slippers had been carried
away, and she said to her maids.
"The eagle has taken it."
And the maids said, "Then it will
bring you good luck. The eagle is
a bird of good omeu."
So Rodolphe hobbled home with

About Little Mark.
I want to tell the little Christians
at work about my little three-year
old boy, Mark, who has a ruling
passiou—and a good one, I am sure
—that of "praying to Dod," as he
called it not long ago. Not being
well, he would come to the break-fast
table aud find some fault with
the food. Not seeing that which
tempted his appetite, 1 did not urge
him to eat of the substantial plac
ed betore him, knowing that nature
would make him hungry when he
became better, then he could eat
anything. Rut I merely told him
that there were a great many little
boys who would be glad to get his
breakfast, as they had none at all,
but had to go and pick up crusts
and crumbs that were thrown away:
and they had no nice homes, nor

room, there were so many, but he
might ask God to provide loi them
and give them something to eat.
Ever since then he has beeu pray

He was sitting iu a cool portico

winds nipped with light feet along
the dimpled waves of the Nile, anil

He arose, walked into an open

above him.
He looked up, aud beheld with
delight and awe an eagle descend

with something sparkling in his tal-ons.
He looked upon the bird as a
messenger from the sun.
He lilted his arms for joy. Just

Novel Treatment for Wounds.
Having noticed an account of the
somewhat novel treatment, recent
ly applied in the case of a wound,
we addressed a note of inquiry to
the gentleman named, Mr. A. K.
Smoot, a commission merchant of
Baltimore, and received a prompt
reply, a portion of which, with
permission, we copy, Mr. Smool
says, under date ol September 23:

for a reconciliation.
At length Mary wrote that her
husband was ill, and to iucroase
the evil, had been made so chiefly
by the cessation of bis wonted com

her family were now iu want. Mr.
Halls turned a deaf ear to this new
appeal from his daughter. To a
second of the same uatnre he prov-ed
equally cold. A third communi-cation,
after considerable of an in-terval

his daughter was a broken-hearted
widow, her husband baviug sunk

attendant distress. A portion of
the same letter led Mr. Balls to go
