A young lady, with streaming black hair, and great purple-black eyes, was standing with clasped hands in the doorway of a pretty country house. With head bent forward and lips parted, she listened ; and peered through the shrubbery, as if expect ing some one. A step sounded on the gravel walk at lost, and a tall form came hurriedly forward in the twilight. ' The lady in the doorway, Calista Langdon, shrank back a little in the hall, and the eager, anxious look passed from her lace. Iter white hands unclasped, and she changed her position of inquiry and watchfulness to one of inquiry and indifference. She plucked at a blood-rose that grew and drooped over the door. "Good evening, Air. Ilolliston," she called out, in a pleasant, musical voice, "I have been looking and watching for Alice." . She dropped her eyes as she uttered these words, which were false, but in an instant after flashed them full upon Herman Ilolliston in all their be witching splendor. "Careful, and thoughtful, as usual, Calista," said the young man, spring ing to her side and taking her band. "Where has Alice gone ?" "She went over to sco Miss Pru dence, a short time ago, and said she would be home at sunset ; she will be here shortly, I think. Come into the parlor, Herman ; I have a bunch of water lilies there, your favorite flow ers." "Thank you, Calista," said the young man a little uneasily; "I think I'll go across the field to meet Alice ; then I shall be most happy to see the lilies when we return." A dark shadow flitted across the face of Calista Langdon; her eyes flashed with a baleful light, but she said, very calmly, as she plucked at the petals of the blood-red rose in her hand, "I presume ' Alice will be glad to have company across the lonesome field." Herman Ilolliston ran down the steps, and walked hurriedly along. lie looked beninu nun, ana wavea ins hand towards Calista, smiling pleas antly as he passed under the great elm trees which grew on each side of the gravel walk. He had gone but a few rods in the green fields before he met Alice Gray, a delicate blue-eyed maiden, with long, golden liair, and a slender, graceful form. As they were walking back: to the house, Herman drew tho young girl under the shadow of the great elm tree; and with the moonbeams strug gling through the leaves, and sifting down upon them, be askcu her to ue his wile. Obtaining ber blushing consent, he placed the betrothal ring on her finger. . With hearts overflow ing with happiness, they returned to the house, and found Calista awaiting them at the door. "Give us your blessiner, Calista," said Herman, as, clasping the hand of Alice, ana stood belore the queenly form of Miss Langdon. "AUce has promised to be my wife," he contin ued: ."and to make our happiness complete, we want your approval." Calista. .Langdon staggered back into the hall, her face blanching as white as death ; but in an instant she was calm and composed, and held out both hands to them. "If that is all you, need," she said, it shall not be denied you. My ap proval is rriven most heartily." She drew them into' the house as she said this. "The dew is heavy to-night," she added ; "come into the parlor." They followed her; and entering the prettily furnished room, sat down side on a sofa near the open window. Calista sat down for a few moments, then crraciouslv biddine them crood night, she retired from the room, leav ing the lovers alone. - "Unce 1 thought it was Calista you joved," said Alice, timidly, when they were alone. , "I was dazzled, at first, by her beau ty, he replied, "but my infatuation soon passed away when I came to know you ; and . now one ringlet of your golden hair has a greater charm for me than all of Calista's surpassing beauty, bhe is very kind to you though, Alice; and I love her as a friend." . . .. "Calista has changed much of late," said Alice ; "she once was so cold and unapproachable, : I almost feared her ; now 6he is bo gentle and so kind to me, that I love her dearly." . ... While these two lovers sat convers ing so happily together, the subject of their conversation was pacing her room with her hands clenched and ber black eyes flashing with anger and evil determination. "They shall never be united," she said, in a hoarse whisper. "Never ! never! I will stab her to the heart first. ' Herman Ilolliston shall marry me yet. If : that little dough-faced Alice had not crossed my path, he would me mine now. I was a fool to come here, but I little thought Her man Holliston was a man to turn from my dazzling beauty to that baby-faced Alice. She shall not be his wife. I swear it I" ; Until nearly morning she paced her room, forming plans to prevent the marriage of the man she loved and her pretty cousinAlice. She had met Herman HollistOn the past winter, in London, and he had 6hown her marked attention. But when the warm days of June came, she left town to spend the summer months with her cousin Alice, who was an orphan, and lived with ft maiden aunt in a beautiful I country-house. . - uerman uoiuston followed her, taking his abode at the hotel in the nearest town, and calling often at the bouse.! He became acquainted with Alice, whom to know was to4ove. Calista soon lost all charms for him ; and it was not' long before be asked the golden-haired country maiden to be bis wife. We have already told the result, and the effect which the betrothal bad upon Calista iangdoa. A week after the engagement ring had been, placed upon Alice's finger, HIM AM v 7 --'1 J U -i i J ALBANY, OREGON, she was sitting in the library, reading, one lovely . alternoon," when Calista entered; and bending , over her she kissed her on both cheeks, and said, "Come, Alice, let us have a ride on horseback. I want to go up to Crof ton Woods. It will be magnificent there to-day. Shall I order the horses?" "Yes. do, Calista," said Alice. "I am glad you proposed it ; it is so dull now Herman is gone." . ' "Foolish girl, said Calista, play fully; "he has only been gone one day, and you expect him back to-morrow. But girls will be foolislu So be ready, as soon as possible, Alice, and we will canter off to ' Crofton Woods." She went gaily from the room, and Alice laid by her book, and went to prepare for the ride. She bad no pre sentiment of evil. Innocent herself, she suspected wrong in no one, espe cially her cousin, who, of late, was so kind to her.. When they were about to mount the horses, Calista said, faily, "Lot us change to-day, Alice, want you to try Flyaway, and I want to ride Gip." . "Do you think I could manage Flyaway i" said Alice, a little anx iously. ... ! ' "Oh, yes, easily ; enough: he is a little fiery, to be sure, but I shall be near you. ' I have never ridden Gip, yon know, and want to see bow she will like me." Alice's aunt, Miss Gray, stood in the door. "You will keep near Alice, Calista?" she said, "and see that Flyaway is kept quiet?" "Indeed I will," answered Calista, "Don't you fear for ber, Miss Gray." They mounted the horses and pro ceeded toward Crofton Woods. W hen they arrived at the forest they rode along leisurely, looking about them, and remarking on the beauty of the day and scenery. They soon came to a by-path, that struck off into the woods ; and Calista drew rein and said : "This path is tho one I took the other day, when I came here alone, Let us go through it, and I will show you one of the most magnificent scenes you ever saw." They turned their horses into this path, and cantered off into the heart of the forest. They had ridden near ly a mile when they came suidenly upon a great ledge of rocks, standing out bare in the wood and overlooking a frightful chasm or ravine. "What a strange place this is 1" said Alice. "Wc will ride to the top of the hill," said Calista, "and then we can see the ocean." "Can we ?" said Alice. "I want to see it, but I'm almost afraid to ride there on Flyaway; let us dismount and walk." "Ob, fie !" said Calista, a little ner vously. "I will warrant Flyaway to behave just as I want him to. Como along, Alice don't be timid." They began to ascend the jagged hill, the horsea ."tumbling over the rocks ; and at last they stood at the summit. There was tho ocean, sure enough, lying blue and fatfco.-ulcss away off in the distance ; but Alice Cive it but a passing glance ; she was gar-ing in terror down the terrible abyss, on the edge of which their horses were standing. j "Ob, Calista," she cried, "why did you bring me here ? It is terrible ! I am frightened 1 I shall be drawn into that terrible abyss, in spite of me." Calista raised her riding whip. "Alice Gray," she said, her eyes gleaming with hatred and evil resolve, "you shall never marry Herman Hol liston 1 A few minutes more and you will be in eternity, and I shall be avenged." ".Oh, neaven 1 save me, save me 1" cried Alice, attempting to dismount from her horse; but Calista struck bim with her riding whip, speaking sharply to him, and like the wind he flew down the jagged rocks. Alice, in terror, lost all power and presence of mind, and in an instant was hurled down the frightful chasm and by torn and bleeding at the bot torn. . Calista, with a hollow, demon-like laugh, dismounted and climbed down the rocks to where Alice was lying. With eyes like balls of fire, and face as pale as death, she put her hand on the pulse of the bleeding girl,; and found that life was quite extinct. ' She then climbed up tho steep. mounted her horse, and rode with full speed toward the house. When she reached the highway, she saw two gentlemen in a carriage coming leis urely along. ; She screamed to them wildly, and told thorn that Alice Gray bad , been thrown from her horse on the rocks in Crofton Woods and she feared she was dead. . .The gentle men, who knew Alice well, left their carriage in the road and hurried to the I)lace where the poor murdered girl ay mangled and dead, her beautiful f olden hair dripping with her blood, 'hey took ber up tenderly, and bore her to their carriage, and then drove slowly toward the nouse. " Calista had arrived there long be fore, and was swaying to and fro, white as a ghost, and blaming herself to the distracted aunt of Alice for allowing the poor girl to nde the fiery horse, Flyaway. " ; : When Herman Ilolliston came back to the home of his betrothed, the whole neighborhood was in commo tion over the accident that had be fallen the beautiful and beloved Alice Gray; but no one distrusted Calista Langdon for an instant When the funeral was over the heart-broken lover, after spending a whole night on the grave 61 his loved 'one, leiV the place, and soon afterward Calista went back to her house in town. They sometimes met, hut the guilty woman could never call up a smile to bis hag gard face. He wandered, about from place to place, never at peace, and bis hair grew gray before Us time. ; ' Calista Langdon, frorathe time she murdered sweet Alice Gray till her death, never spent one happy moment, and at last on ber dying bed she sent sW I 111 m ii l r i v urn r FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1871 j for Herman Ilolliston and confuted the whole. It was bard for bim to forgive ber; but when he saw her Writhing in anguish, and calling for mercy and forgiveness, he pardoned ber, and she died With a faint hope of salvation. .Herman Ilolliston is an old man now, but every summer he visits the grave of sweet Alice Gray, and only looks forward to their reunion in the world where all is pure and beautiful. ' From the Pittsburg Commercial. , AN OLD PIOSEEB. DEATH OF A NOTED INDIAN HUNTER AT THE AOE OF 102 YEARS. A few weeks ago a most extraordi nary character and 'venerable pioneer died at Bridgeport, immediately, op posite the city of Wheeling. I refer to Joseph Worley, whose early histo ry and subsequent career have been so intimately connected with the frontier annals. ; Joseph WOrley was born in 1709, just 102 years ago. His relatives say that his birtb-plaoe was at Went Liberty, in Ohio county, now West Virginia, but it is certainly true, that whether born there or not, his early childhood was spent in that locality, which is no more than 12 miles distant from where he died. 'At the time of his birth this part of the west was an unbroken wilderness. It was yet 13 years before the first white man had fixed his abode west of the Ohio river; a few hunters held Kentucky against tho Indians north of tho river and sustained with that region the primi tive relations of horse-stealing and scalping; in Virginia the frail and lone ly settlements (of which West Liberty was one), creeping westward made friends with the desert, and produced a population . nearly as wild as its older children, and quite as fierce and truculent ' Into such a' heritage was young Worley born ; . and from hie earliest childhood he displayed an aptitude for frontier life, lie was particularly skilled in the use of the rifle, and all his early thoughts and planning had reference to the savage foes that sur rounded him. The numerous expe ditions for. which he was choaeu showed the confidence his fellow pio neers had in him. Simon Girty, the notorious white renegade, was at this time with the Indians on the Sandus ky plains, and frequently headed their marauding raids upon the settlements. It was the aim of the settlers to van quish this most formidable foe, and Mr. Worley, with others, undertook the task of capturing him. In this work. Girty, at the bead of the Ottawa warriors, pursued across the Ohio at crcelc, and far into the interior of what is now the Stale of Ohio, bis pursuers enduring unparallcd priva tion and encountering perilous diffi culties, but always unsuccessful in his capture. Some time early in life Worley and his brother Jacob, who seems to have been as heroic as the other, drifted toward Fort Henry, occupying the point where Wheeling now stands, and here thev became acquainted with the famous Wetzel, one of the most noted Indian hunters of American pioK5er history. Worley, who was several rears Wetzel's junior, was his very intimate friend, and his almost constant companion in the woods. On one occasion, having discovered fresh evidences of the presence of In dians in the neighborhood of the set tlement, Wetzel ant Worley under took to ascertain their whereabout. They followed their tracks for several miles, and became so intent, upon their prey' as to scarcely become aware of the distance until they had wandered from the settlements, until they had gone eleven or twelve miles south and nearly opposite to the point where the Baltimore and Ohio rail road now strikes the Ohio river. Here they came upon a camp of Indians, who discovered the hunters about the same time they were them selves discovered. Both parties took to the trees, after the custom of Indi an fighting, but the Indians greatly outnumbered the others. Six or sev en stalwart , and trained warriors of the Huron tribe were ,now pitted against two determined hunters, and, as if to add to the danger of their po sition, Wetzel was recognized by the Indians as their implacable and life long enemy. Now began a duel; a running fight ; a. life And death con test No reinforcements could reach the hunters until they had travled at least ten miles, and long before that their wily foes would overpower them in all probability. Yet . they deter mined to sell their lives dearly.. Wetzel took command, and Worley obeyed , him implieity. . In recount ing it oftentimes afterward Mr. Worley grew animated, and nobly at tributed to Wetzel the salvation of his life. ' . r A tall Huron warrior was the first to fall. He rushed out from his. cov ert with demoniac yell, thinking that they were unprepared for a sudden attack, or would readily yield to the force of superior numbers. , But in this he was mistaken, and his life paid the penalty. For a moment or so af terward the other Indians were silent and apparently awe-struck, but in that instant Wetzel had again loaded his gun.- Several shots were - fired at him, but he was securely shielded by a tree. And so from tree to tree for four exciting miles the hunters dodged and crept Another warrior, in seek ing stealthily to out off their retreat, was killed, and the. others - became more cautious. Onoe Wetzel put his. cap on the- ramrod, as though he was peeping round the tree, and when ths Indian shot a bullet through it he let it drop to the ground. Toe Indians all rushed out, when two others ' fell. The movements were now carried on, on both sides, with the utmost cau tion. The hunters gradually worked their way toward too fort, the thre'e remaining" Indians becoming jnore anxious. - ' " v. t It It . . .! One of their number, perhaps while carefully climbing a tree on the oppo site side from the hunters, with a view of starting: them from their lurking place, unconsciously exposed himself and was wounded by the hunters ; whereupon the other Indian took to their heels and left the hunters to re turn in peace to the fort . For many years, after civilization bad claimed and metamorphosed, these western wilds, the Worley brothers lived not far from Bellaire, on the Ohio river. A uumerous progeny grew up around them, and their interest .never abated in the march of progress and in the surrounding improvements. Until a few weeks previous to his death bis interest in current events continued very lively, and ; his memory and strength were remarkable. His death Was sudden but not unexpected. ': HABRIAOE. .1 . Marriage Is an institution ordained by God. A good husband supple ments the weakness of a woman with his ; rude, rough strength, A good wife softens the rude, rough man with the tenderness of ber own being. Marriage is a coming into the souL bringing with it new duties and joys, a revelation of heaven and earth, and is often a positive means of salvation to both parties. Many a young man has been urged on in his career oy the feeble woman who stands by his side, aiding bim by her love and spirit to rouse bis energies, so tbat at last be is able to reach the height of his ambi tion. While we must advocate marriage, we must not join with those who with keenest satire ridicule the bachelor and the maid. Can there be a greater heroism in the resolution of a young man who never dreams of a home of his own while his old mother needs bis strong arm and aid ; or the maid en who banishes her dreams of hope when the voice from the sick-room calls her? No these holiest duties, come they to man or woman, are sa cred. How is it that those . who have pledged their love at the altar, who go forth into life, shortly after become so unhappy 1 How is it that there are so many happy onions which soon make desolate homes ? Because they were not married in heaven as well as on earth, The holiest and happiest event tbat can happen on earth the holiest and happiest event that can happen this side of the celestial city is a right marriage. Every young man and woman hopes to get married. It is an instinct im parted by God ; but do not let ro mance run away with your common sense. That stretches younr imagina tion and fancy till you think you are the most unfortunate being on earth. Get bold of the romance tbat keeps everything young, bright and beauti ful before you; cling to it, for this world is awfully prosy at times, and we require the halo of true romance then. Marry for love. Rev. Mr. Ilepworth. Tub Dutchman's Trick. While a Dutchman was reading the advertise ment on the new post-office fence, a professional "beat" come up to him and saidi "Sbon, if you treat to the whisky, I will Jearn you a trick." Sbon agreed. "Beat" then placed bis band against the fence and told bim to strike it as hard as he could. Sbon, not thinking tbat any harm could befall bim by doing so, struck a blacksmith's blow, but instead of hitting "beat's" hand, the latter, jerking it away, poor Shon struck the fence-board, knocking it off. "Mein Gott in liimmel!" cried Sbon. "Vat for yon makes fool ish? I knocks mine band clean off up to der elbow I . Oh, socker blitz I my poor frau, vat vill she say? Boor Sbon was bound to have re venge; so one day as be was passing through the streets, he espied a man. Going up to bim, be said: "Mynheer, I shows you von leetle drick for nodings." ; ' As there was no fence nor tree near, Sbon put bis band against bis mouth, and said: , . "Strike yust so bard as you can." r Mynheer struck, and Shon pulled away bis band and received the blow on bis mouth, and was knocked down. Shon jumped up, bis mouth bleeding, and commenced dancing with pain. - "Sberusalem ! a thousand tuyfels dake dis goon try 1 I goes pack to Holland rt! c ., , .; ; . A Rat Whips Two Snakes. A fight between a rat and a couple of snakes (a copperhead and a rattlesnake four and a half feet in length) occurred at McKeesport, Ohio, last week. ' The snakes, not having been fed for : sev eral days, were first presented with a mouse, which both reptiles attacked, killing it in (hirteen minutes. A large rat was. then but into the cage, when a terrible battle ensued, both snakes striking as rapidly as they could; the rat also displayed consid erable pluck, keeping up his end of the fight bravely. The fight contin ued from 2 o'clock in the afternoon until 9 at night, when the copper head threw up the sponge, and . was taken out dead. To prevent the rat tlesnake from sharing the same fate, the rat was then removed from : the cage. - The rat showed considerable generalship in the encounter, , and every time it was bitten it would re tire to the corner of the cage and bite out the piece from its body.

A KEWARKABLE PHYSICAL PHENOMENA. , .', ; L The "Eleeding Girl of Hainault" is the latest Catholic miracle, and is just now being made the subject or nu merous newspaper notices, through the country. ; The condition of the "bleeding girl" presents a curious, physiological phenomenon, and M physicians have vainly Endeavored to account for it, the priests have made a miracle out of it. The case of the fasting girl of the South . Wales who, after going without food for many months, died : of exhaustion some 12 or 15 months ago, was one of the strangest on record ; but the bleeding girl of Hainault, is almost - as strange and is 'equally well authenticated. The main facts connected with the latter are as follows: Her name is Louise Lateao, and she is now about twenty years of age. When seven teen years old she went oat to ser vice, and shortly after was taken ilL and it seemed as if she were going to her long home ; but one Friday morn ing a slender rivulet of blood began to ooze from her left side, which con tinued for a short time and then ceased. On the following Friday it but re-appeared, was on the upper surface of ber feet The following week, on the same day, the crimson stream issued simultaneously from her side, . feet, and hands;, a few months later it came from her bead ; and latest accounts say that every week, only on Fridays, she presents an awful sort of image of the Savior bleeding on the - cross. Cataleptic symptoms accompany each recurrence of the bleeding, the girl going into a kind of trance, in which she says she beholds the scene of the Passion. Tears roll down her cheeks, and she remains insensible to all outward sights and sounds, and cannot be awakened by numerous and powerful electric shocks during the paroxysm, which usually continues from eight o'clock in the morning till five in the evening, blood flowing during -the whole time. She awakes from her trance with a leap, falls into a cold sweat, has a rattle in her throat, an imperceptible pulse, but she recovers in about fifteen minutes, and contiues in ber usual health until the next Fri day. The most eminent medical men of the locality have examined the case and profess to be unable to discover any trickery or imposture connected with it One of the doctors has made ex periments, and having scrutinized whence the blood exudes with a micro scope, found that on those places the epidermis is very thin, so that the true skin can be seen through it When the bleeding is going to begin, a lit- tie bladder appears on the spots, fill ed with a transparent, reddish fluid. A rent presently .takes place in the cuticle, the serious fluid escapes, and the blood begins to ooze from the ; surface of the exposed papillaee with-1 in- The flow often amounts to nearly a quart; and pending that the doctor has tickled the patient's nose with a feather, tested her sense of smell with ammonia, pricked her with a needle, and passed a strong electro-magnetic current along her arm, all of which she bore without the least manifesta tion of feeling. On one occasion the girl's bands were encased in well stitched leather gloves, which were drawn tight at the wrist, and the strings sealed, the object being to de tect trickery if any were employed. The Dr. watched the result, which was, that when the gloves were taken off they were full of blood. . The above are the leading items re corded in this singular case, and they seem to be well attested; but despite the evidences as to the absence of all collusion or trickery, there may be some who will doubt it To all such it need only be said that Hainault is a well-known town. in Belgium, and that traveling by railroad and steamer can be done expeditiously and at a tolerably cheap rate.

Four year i of the fourteenth cen tury bad passed away. , All Austria was plunged into dismay and confu sion, Albrecht, emperor and king, and equally tyrant and despot, bad been slain by a band of desperate no bles, of . whom , Rudolph , von der Wart was chief . Agnes; the widow of the murdered Kaiser, vowed vengeance, and a kept her vow. One by one the conspira tors were banted down. Last of all Rudolph was doomed, and on the fair morning ' on which v our story commences Rudolph came foith to die,' :. -j '. ; - Knight and noble were ranged in a glittering circle around the .imperial throne raised on the execution ground and on which was seated the empress. Her haughty face was set in pitiless bate and triumph, as the scaffold op posite, topped by the dreadful wheel on which the criminal was to be bouad, and guarded by the red-caped beadsmen. The solemn tolls of the old church, bells fell heavily on the ear of the goard, with the prisoner in their midst, as they . neared the scaffold. - Greedily the empress watched him as be mounted the stair. His haughty face was rigid with repose, and his blue eyes were glittering as steel. His brow flushed angrily, as the beadsmen roughly tied bis bands. but a sneering laugh from the em press seemed to restore, ius calm. Agnes looked on triumphantly, cs he was bound to the wheel, and. a thrill ran through the great assembly as the executioner lifted the iron bar and let it fall with a crash . on the limbs of bis unfortunate victim. He gave one moan of ' agony, and was silent The torture that for hours he knew would be his, he steeled himself to bear Before the eyes of bis deadly enemies, Von der Wart resolved be would wait the bit ter end in silence. There was a yielding of the vast crowd around the scaffold, and a murmur of sympathy, Unchecked, even, by awe of the empress. A wo man passed swiftly up the scaffold, and paused for a moment as she glanced at the criminal stretched on the wheel above, : -. " - ' She was very beautiful.
