"(Jould 1 make you unuertana, he continued, iu low, eurnctit tones, how wretched and miserable my life really ia, bereft of love aud Marie, you would, at least, grant me a kind word. occasionally. I see you wear my diamond yet. leu me, for conscience sake, whether you do it out of a lingering regard for your old love, or is it cupidity only?" And the large magnetic eves looked hon estly into those of his beautiful com pauion, who in a seemingly tot.il disregard of his earnestness, Hummed softly a little ' bravura, lind then re plied in a distant, balf-abstacted manner, whicu was peculiaryuuuoy iug to the sensitive man. ' ' How often must I tell you, Her bert, that I love you, as much as ever I did? You know how we are situat ed, and you are perfectly well aware , so long as you cannot support me in the stvle to which I hare al ways been accustomed, no engage ment must be allowed to exist. Love is all very well in its place, but really it shows very bod taste to introduce it at such unseasonable and inappro priate occasions, uood evening, Lupt. llorne; isn't this a splendid gather ing? I was just remarking to our friend, Mr. Maltravers, that I hud not for a long time attended a party so exquisitely got up;" and the haughty beauty used her fan daintily, turning to her fair hand a litUe moro to the light, while lightniug-like cor rugations from diamond and pearl dazzled the eves of her admirers. luhnaculate and bewildering laces. together with the rustle of silk, and 1orf ame as delicate as from Araby the Jlest, completed a tout rimeinblf, a perfect in its fashionable and artistic make-up as it was gracefully becom ing to its fair owner. The Captain offered Ins arm for a promenade, and with a pleasant bow to Herbert, Marie sailed away, as if I erfectly unconscious of the misery she had inflicted. Herbert Maltravers had been for the pa-t two years au accepted lever of Marie Genore's. but for some strange and incomprehensible reason she had without the least apology or excuse, suddenly dismissed him, and when pressed by the ardent lover for a satisfactory solution of the mystery, replied that her love, remained un diminished, but iter family all thought the engagement improp er, as Mr. Maltravers' ecuiiiary o- sition would not allow btui to support her in the style aud luxury to which she had been accustomed. No argu ment or entreaty'could make her any more explicit, so with a love quite as intense as in the first and palmiestdnys of courtship, Herbert followed her to ball, party and opera, and used every means to win back the attention and dcr regard he no longer possess ed. He could not bo convinced that Marie Geuore was as hollow and heartless as tha vainest' buteifly of fashion could possibly he, and vet he knew that if she loved him as he had formerly every reason to believe, no advice or influedca could have changed her. "Why does she still wear the sym bol of our betrothal, if our engage ment is entirely broken off" he asked, himself for the thousandth time. Herbert knew that Marie's father, with all his wealth, was very close and penurious, especially on. the subject of ornaments; and he knew. poo, that Mane s most valuable jew els were all presents. Common sense whispered that it was the beau ty and eohthness of the diamond that made it valuable in her eyes, aud this in a lit of wretchedness and al most insanity, he had this evening, for the first time, accused her of. 'I must have one moment with Marie and beg pardon for my in sulting language. How could I have been so unmanlvr Marie, cloaked and hooded, her bright, beautiful eyes having lost none of their sparkle from the night's dissipation, stood in the hall dispens ing kind "good nights to mends and acquaintances. ".Let me escort you to the carnage just this time, Marie," pleaded the lover, and laughing and chatting gaily, f he accepted his aim in a mat ter-of-fact manner and walked slowly. out. ' "What is it, now Herbert? 'and tbe beauty's tones betrayed both ill nature and impatience. "I hope you will forgive me JVlane for the ungentlemanly language used this evening. I cannot bear to think that I have offended you." "Your manner, Mr. Maltravers, is the principal thing I ' have to find fault with, and quite as much bn your own account as ray own. It is not pleasant to have the epithets 'soft' and 'Billy" applied to one who for so long a time has been a declared suitor for my hand. J,ut I have, I declare, quite forgotten that you said anything this evening that you need ask pardon for. What was it Her bert?" And the young lady met his ! earnest gaze ferociously, and . with a I 1DOK V1 HTebiBiaDie inquiry. i. .1. .J : . How the poor fellow longed to en ter tbe carnage as he bad done thousand times, , and ' draw that queenly head, wound round with tbe daintiest of "unmussabLe" wool, on. his breast. 13 ut times had changed and this waajio loiger bi3 pmilege ."It was about the ring, Marie; say that you forgive me.7 - "Oh, yes, I remember now, Her bert; but what a strange girl x am I believe I never could grieve or' be much offended at anything you might say, and something 01 tne old ten derness seemed to return to tone and manner; for Herbert pressed the lit Ue band closer, and the grasp was ALBANY, OREGON, FJUDAY, JUNK 2, , 1871. warmly returned, causing the heart of the young gentleman, which had been for weeks on the ruck, to palpi tate still faster, while a strange feel ing of joy almost deprived him of the power of speech. , "Herbert, if you desire this ring, it is yours; but J do hate to part with it sol" , "I'or what reason, Marie ? Is it for the blessed old associations con nected with it? Lot me nee; you used to say that in the depths of that stone you could always see Herbert's face. Is it so now V" "Oh, Herbert! when will you learn to be less demonstrative? Why will vou not remember that we ai o no lougor lovers, and that any recur rence to former chapters is simply presumption? Mr. Maltravers, I would like to be your friend, if you would only let me that is all. r. Do you understand?" "I think I do, Miss Genore," cold ly replied the geutleman with his hand upon the carriage door; and one would hardly have imagined it possible that a toue could have changed ho perceptibly. "You have succeeded in this conversation to make me understand the true sute of the case. Love is all on one side. I should havo known this long before this had not my infatuation so com pletely blinded me. The symbol of our engagement you may wear now transfixed on another linger, not for auy lingering fondues you may have for Ihe giver, but for the intrinsic value of the article. -Every scale is removed from my eyes. I do not want tho ring at present; you may wear it until I have crushed out ev ery particle of fondness for Marie Genore, aud have found in some tru er woiiiuti the balm of my sufferings; then, and only then, shail I scud for my ring." "lut. Herbert -" "No 'buU' about it," he replied. "Like the poor moth, I have buzzed about your brilliant lix'ht and scorch ed mvself in the blaze br making myself a laughing stock for society, and have almobt destroyed , my soul in the fociih desire to reinstate my self in the position I formerly occu pied. Good night and good bye, Marie Genore." ."Who would have thought it?" mused Marie, oslho loaned bock in her father's aristocratic carriage. "But I shall bring him to terms again. It so straugo that Major Hunter don't propose; I have taken particular pains to have him informed Of the dissolution of my marrigo con tract, ami yet he docsu l propose. Very attentive and love-like to-night, not a word of the future. His estab lishment is princcUv, but if I cannot be mistress of that, why, then I should prefer Herbert 'very ambi tious young man, as father said tuts morning, 'If you haven't destroyed it with your colduess" Oh, pshaw ! men are not so easily killed. Let me see I am not nineteen, and, accord ing to their own statements, I have consigned at least a dozen lives to wretchedness, and a half dozen of them are happily married, and the remainder engaged. He may not be so easy to renew;" and the heartless beauty continued to discuss the situ ation nntu sleep closed her eyes. "Ah, Marie," said the young lady's father, one evening at dinner, some few months after the above incidents, "your discarded lover has bad a very neat little present made him. You have heard him speak about that ec centric uncle of his in Lincoln; well, the old fellow has come down hand' somely a cool two hundred thou sandthat's all Marie. Better coax him back, if"you can." 1 11 try it," laughed Marie, hys terically, 'I3ut are you quite sure of this, father? remaps so, lie nan been re ceiving the congratulations for tbe last two days, Hartman says he don't appear very much elated Money without ALorie don t appear like much, to a love .sick man, and Mr. Genore shook bis fat sides, aud chuckled with satisfaction at the idea of his daughter's brilliant future. The next morning, Mr. Maltravers received a daintily-perfumed little note, running thus; . . , ,. Deab Hebbeut Father has just' informed roe of your good f ortu ne. Do come and re ceive the congratulations of your - Marie. But Herbert was in no hurry. Once more in a crowded drawing' room, with its elegant dressed ladies and gentlemen, music, flowers, and the gorgbusly decked dancing hall, while the ravishing waltzes and fas cinating redo was chased each other in quick succession. "Wuo is tliat Deautuul lairy-iiKe creature with Mr. Maltravers, Miss Genore?" inquired a gentleman with whom Marie was promenading. . She turned a little to see Herbert his face lit up with a smile of enjoy ment ana appreciation, conversing 'n low,eainest tones with his compan ion, as sweet and beautiful as Marie's partner bad described her. - A pleasant bow, with a cool "Good evening, Miss Genore," was all . the recognition Mane received. ; "Will you allow me the pleasure of a promenade, Miss Genore ? po lately inquired 'Herbert - " With a little flush of gratified pride Alane accented, nis arm, and once more tne sweet little nana , came in contact with his coat sleeve, while on the taper finger his diamond seiotil lated and sparkled, "I received a note from you, Marie a few day since," said.Herbert, very softly. 'f But wny did you not comply with its request, Herbert ?" ' "Did you "have anything particular to say to me ? Or was it simplv as your note stated, an invitation for a "nnnrfltulatorv visit?" . .V' ' "An, Herbert. wben will you ever do your poor Mane justice ? "I think I . have always done you more than justice; Wlar'w, but I see you still ' wear our engagement ring. Can you see your owu Jlerbert's face in its dazzliug depths as you . used, Marie?" Aud a sarcastic smile elevated the dark moustache, and a quizzical look dauced out of the eyes as he contem plated the deceitful figure at his side. "Yes, Herbert, dearest; you al most broke poor Marie's heart with your dreadful accusations." . "Then you love me still, Mario ?" i"Yes, Herbert, aud I have always loved you," replied the coquette, iu the softest tones. "You took a strange way to show it, then." - Marie looked timidly into his face, but nothing there betrayed him, and the beauty kept on, while sighs and tears, to all appearance, choked her utterance. . VBut, Herbert, you do not reply tome at all.. Have you not a kind word for your owu Marie ?" , "Come into the couservatory, Miss Genore, I have something to show you." And Herbert, with Marie clinging lovingly to his arm, walked into tho apartment, where roscx, heliotropes, aud geraniums, mingling with the perfume of costly exotics, made the air heavy with their fragrance. The same elegant little woman, Herbert's companion, whom Maria minutely criticised, stood in one cor ner of the room, the principal at traction of an admiring group. "Lucy, will you excuse yourself for a moment? I haven friend to whom I wish to introduce you," asked Herbert of the lady in ques tion, while a smile of admiration and gratified pride lit up his handsome face. Mario still clasped his arm lovingly. "Lucy, you have otten heard, me speak of Miss Geuoro. This is tho lady," continued he, quietly, with drawing his arm. "Aud this little woman," affectionately drawing her to his side, "is my wifo Mrs. Mal travers. Lnder the peculiar circum- Htanct-s, I think it is no more than justico to reclaim the synbl of our engagement.

" ' If we are not mistaken we have eard or read that "truth is stanger than fiction." An instance, strictly true, has come to our knowledge which vividly illustrates that, and also exhibits with almost startling ef fect the danger of mob law and bene fits of Masonry, A young Maine man, who is engag ed in the "commercial travebiig" business for a Cbicnge bouse, was le- ceutly trayeling out in tbe far West, when he was taken possession of on the train by men who simply inform ed bim that they, were officers and wanted bim. He expostulated, ex plained, demanded explanations, &lc, bat all in vain, sio one on the tram knew him, aud there were those who did know the officers. All that bo could get from them was that he was the man they wanted. In this way ho was taken some ninety miles into the interior. Upon arrival he had no onger to remain in ignorance of bis supposed offence, tbe whole village ueiug out to welcome nun with such cnes as, "Mere a tlie d d horse thief caught at last." . , ' "Let s stnng bira up! The officers made some show at re- sistauce, but the excited mob took possession of their victim, and march ed him into town, near tho center of which a noose was already strung over a limu ol a tree. Our mend thought it was all up with him sure. -.xpostulatiou was received with de- nsiou. x very body recognized bira as a notorious horse thief, whose dep. redations in the vicinity bad been oug continued and extensive. A horse thief in that section is looked upon as something worse than a say- e murderer. There was not a pity ing eye in the crowd, aud tho univer sal howl was to lyuch bim. He tried to pray, but but the commercial trav eling business bad ruined him for graying. While waiting under the noose a nappy tuoagnt struck bim. lis Masonry. He was a Royal Arch Mason. In all that crowd there must lie Masons. He gave the Grand Hail ing Signal of Distress. We are not at liberty' to explain bow it was done lor several reasons, the chief one of which is, we don't know. But be gave it, and in an instant one of the foremost citizens of tho town sprang to his side, and be gave some more Masonic signals, and the prisoner was quickly surrounded with twenty or thirty determined men, who held the crowd at bov with drawn uistols Our friend explained to tbe leading man who he was. This organized a committee of investigation, telegraph ed to Chicago aud verified all his statements, and the brutal mob slunk away heartily ashamed. Our friend was made as comfortable as possible by bis Masonic Friends, but be says ie never experienced such intense anxiety as be did when he stood un der that noose. The above is strictly true in all its essential points. We hare the names of the parties and places. The young man wuo rescued him proved to be an old mend of his father s. remarks. - The above is only one of tbe many good features of Masonry. Ihe mor al bearing of the emblematical serri ces, of the order connot fail to make men better, the monitorial lessons command the mind with the most ennobling and holy lessons, while the practical workings of the order give the world the proudest displays of good will and benevolence ever seen among mortals. The deeds of noble daring, the acts of 'superlative good ness, the triumphs of interested lovo stamp on the time honored es outcheon of Masonry iu letters o: gold the impress of true greatness, goodness, and fame. When purso proud so-called mis-called religv ons professors rather hypocrites have, with all their boasted piety. cast off tbe widow and the orphan, to tho knowledge of many of us Ma sonry, with its tender band, has ta' ken them up. W hen boasting, loud' mouthed pretenders to holinessa have been standing by quoting to the suf ferer, "The lord will provide' Ma sonry bos stepped in between the re ligious mocker and his victim, and poured in the emollient and Samar itan panacea. While designing tricksters and deceivers have gone about the country, peddling their cheap trash against the institution and thus hoodwinking and gulling their deluded victims and J;steners the unscathed and majestic order moves on. in solemn grandeur. The tremendous rapidity with which tbe membership : of the order is mereas ing proves that the enemies . therea; are only having their . labor fop their pains, and rather aiding man aisa bling the cause. Those who are so dull and blind that they cannot see the sun are dull and blind indeed. 2ie Cristian WUnesn. , : V, The Governor ol Massachusetts has appointed Mrs.!

KVMwa. Ava.ee a we IAVE. Here is a story of the saddest side of New York life. Not many davs aero there was a fasbidliable marriage in one of our up-town churches. The bridegroom was a remarkably handsome man, of nearly thirty years of age, well known in what is called fashionable society as an agreeagble, liberal bachelor and "ladies' man." The bride was a lovely girl, belonging to one of the best known families, and esteemed for her character as much as admired for ber beauty. The friendes of both were present! and nothing surprising occurred at the ceremony, save that all preent remarked upon tbe ap pearance of the bridegroom. He was apparently so oppressed by some great sorrow or anxiety that be oould not smile nor command a cheerful word. ' - i ' . ' ', Tbe pair bod spent but a few days together when the husband, after an interview with bis young wife, which eft her almost crushed in mind, has tily called at bis late bachelor rooms, which he Lad not -yet given ap, burn ed a large number of papers, packed up a lew precious articles and sua- enly disappeared; and no one of bis friends knows where be is to be found. But one dreadful truth reach ed their ears too quickly. At one of our new hotels in the center of the city, but a few blocks from tbe cburcb in which the marriage was performed, there were found a woman and sev eral children bearing bis name, and she found no difficulty in establishing her nght to it. She is many years oldet than he. They were married when be was scarcely more than a boy, and bave never quarreled nor seperated. - He still supported ber and visited ber; and on tbe very day of the second marriage, at noon, be made ber a long visit in bis usual manner. ; : : ? This event bas .been a sodden shock to both families, and the abso- u to concealment of bis marriage from all bis friends for many years, while bis wife and children openly bore bis name in public hotels in this city, is as unaccountable to them as it will be to others. The young man was for several years an internal revenue officer in this city, but for several years bas been employed in a bank down town. He has paid S3 ,000 a year for the board of bis wife and children, while receiving a salary of oniy ?z,uuu; ana nas yei mamioinea bis bachelor life with lavish expendi ture. In bis rooms ore said to bave lain not far from a hundred suits of clothes with expensive books and many other evidences of wealth; But his accounts at the bank are said to be entirely correct. His full under standing of what be was doing ap pears from the fact that be carried to the alter a pistol, with the fixed pur pose, as he afterward said, of blow ing out his brains there if the ceremo ny should be interfered with. e draw no moral from tbe facta But the very hock they give to all who know of them, is a proof that crimes of this kind find nosymatby or toleration in this community, and that the standard of mortals here is not so low as some writers have said, who appeal to such cases as these for illustrations of rtew York society, in stead of what they really are, fright ful and exceptional outrages upon it. "JIOKE THAN A HOTIfER." Among the deaths published in the Jialtitnore o ot tbe 1U olt., was that of Mrs. Maria Clemm, the aunt, mother-in-law, and never-failing frieud Edgar A- Poe. Mrs. Clemm was born in Baltimore on the 17th of March, 1809. Her family was one of the old- est ana uiosi aisuuguisnea in iuaryiana. Her father, David Poe, wag quarter- mi ater-general cf the old Maryland line during the revolution, and the intimate friend of Washington, Lafayette, and the leading men of the time. In 1836, hile editing the SuutJrn Literary Messenger, Edgar A, Poe married, his - rw . t w cousin, v irgioia uieinai, a loveiy, ana beautiful girl, whose memory he em balmed iu "Tho Haven." ' She was tbe Lost Lenore" ot that extraordinary poem. t row tne time 01 roe s mar riage to her daughter. Mrs. Clemm adopted bim as her son, and never had a son a more devoted mother, 'To have won and k9pt the love ot sucn a woman through all too vicissitudes of such career as Edgar Poe's, shows more for cibly than words can tell : that tbe 10 nate goodness of the poet was not lost even in the midst of wasted gcnnls, un paralleled misfortune, and utter misery, When he was ill, and his wife dying, it was a touching sight to see this "tireless minister to genius," poorly clad, goin from office to office in New York with poam, a story, or a critique of Poe's to sell. To her Poe wrote the sonnet "To My Mother," in which he testifies to her care and devotion by saying that she had been -'more than a mother', to him. After the poet's death, on tho 7th of October, 18-19, Mrs. Clemm resided with different friends in New York and Virginia, until five of six years since, when she was received into the Church Home in Baltimore, a charitable insti tution under the ' management of the Episcopal Church, and there she died on the lfith alt,, in the eighty-first year of her age. Poa died ia the same building, which waa then the Maryland Hospital. Her funeral took place on Friday; the 17th. At her own request she was buried by the side of her 'dar ling Eddie, in Westminster churchyard corner of Fayotto and Greene streets, Baltimore Besides the four pall-bear ers. ' there were present about a. dozen ladies' and two gentlemen, admirers 0: Poe and friends of Mrs. Clemm. Among the ladies was Miss Rosalie Poe sister 01 the poet. Jv. .-jrirtoune. The Columbus (Wis.) Democrat says that, in a cemetery ia the Uttla village of Wyocana, in Columbia county, there is a rather terse epitaph. It is as tot lows: "Seventeen years- a maiden; on a year a wife; two months mother, and that took her life," HATEa OX ADVERTISING!
