My Btory seems branded into my memory in letters of fire. It is no story conjured np ly the imagination, nor yet one that nees glossing over hy a fertile pen. All its incidents are real none cxaircerated. Jot many years ago a haughty old man, a judge of incorruptible morals, I died, leaving belaud Lira two chil dren. After his death it was found that he had not been so wealthy as many had imagined, yet rich enough to leave each daughter a moderate compe tence. To the eldest sister descended the homestead and a sufficient income to keep Hp some of their forme? style; (he younger, twenty thousand dolhirs, invested in nn old and trnMy bank. From infancy Estelle, the eldest, had been acquainted with a poor but prond spirited boy. She had watched his ineffectual struggles for an educa tion such as he desired, admiring his unconquerable ambition, and as he neared manhood he became her most ardent lover. But ihe old judge demurred ! No daughter of his should encourage the attention of a penniless youth their intimancy must cease. Obedient as a child, she listened to her father's commands, and obeyed them implicitly. , He surrounded heravith gay com pany; be did every thing that wealth or taste could suggest to win her away from her boy lover. But though she uttered no complaint, he knew that she did not forget. At last he died. He did not bind her with any promises, l'crhaps in death his eyes discovered that it needs more thau wealth to bring happiness. After her breaveinent. lJupcrt Kingsland came to her again. "Estelle, my love,'- lie said, passion ately, it may seem wrong to you for me to come to you, now he is gone, when I know how much he was op posed to me; but, dai l.ng, you are in trouble, and I must comfort yon I" She did not chide him. She be lieved her father must have relented, or else he would have spoken and for bidden her to receive h;m alter his death. She wept and sobbed on his bosom like a child. "Rupert," she returned, "if you had forsaken me now, I should indeed be desolate." 'And to leave you ever will kill me," he ejaculated, impetuously.? "Curse mv fortune thai I must for- ever be debarred from you !" "Don't speak so fiercely, llupcrt," she pleaded. "No one stands be tween us now." "Yes, poverty stands between us as it ever did," he replied. "Never will 1 take advantage of his decease to step unworthily where he forbade me. If I ever could obtain my wish of be coming a great and famous physician, Estelle, then would I be proud to come to you." 'Where would you go to become a doctor?" she queried. "I would study in England, France and Germany," was his eager response. "To be a common-place physician would not satisfy me. I must be the equal of the most eminent.'' For a moment she was silent. "Ilupert," she observed, presently, "the way is open for you at last. Aly money is left untouched. In no way would its use give me so much joy as to ktoow that it was aiding yon to ob tain your life's desire. You shall go to England, France and Germany. (July return to me as pure as jou leave me." For a time he opposed such a sug gestion. He could not accept her money. But in proportion to his un willingness to receive, became her eagerness to bestow. At last he consented. lie would only consider it a loan, to be repaid at some future day. He would send to her as a banker, for what he required, and remain away some lour or five years. Her sister was much opposed to it when informed of what Estelle pro posed to do. "You are ! exceedingly unwise, Estelle, 6he said angrily, "to draw your capital to give to him. I doubt his goodness 1 doubt his ever return ing." Estelle was wounded but not dis couraged. She made him a present of a very handsome . gold watch and chain, and money enough to defray all expenses incidental to his journey and first admittance to a medical school. Then he was to write to her, and the would send him more. His two years were spent in Eng land, and he received money from her every quarter, lie lived in style, even in luxury; surrounded himself with everything ho could wish for; and though she thought lie must be extravagant in his habits, she made no inquiries, no comments. Her sister married and went to California, and Estelle was left to watch and wait the still remaining three years of his absence. He went ta Germany. He remain ed two years longer. The last year of his proposed absence, he wrote to Estelle thus: , "JVly love, I do not know how to say what I wish. My five years have nearly expired. I believe I am Bear ing the goal, which, save for the good ness of your true and noble heart, I never should have hoped to attain, but yet I am not satisfied. I wish to see you so much, my poor, lone bird ling, that I am ready to drop every thing, give up every future hope of this world and the next, to fly to you. But I restrain myself. I wish to be entirely woithy of you and all you have done for me when I do return. Ub, it 1 could remain here for two'i years longer I might accomplish-much therein.!" , She Peru8ed that Part of the kUer.' Twoyearsmore!

Me that fear cth is tu t made perfect in earthly loe." She knew no fear! , It would be hard for him to be away two years longer, but if he desired it, she s.iouid not comjiiam. She look np her pen and thus wrote: "Kupertj God alone knows how much 1 long for you each day, but if it is your wish to remain awny two years more, do not let me tlete'" you. Vott know father, did not leave mu as well provided for as was anticipated, ami now all is gone but the home stead. If you think the two year ueeessary, 1 will mortgage it." lie did not think two years requi site, but he wrote so togehiugly n,hout her sacrifice that it seemed almost as if he was conferring a favor on her by taking it, than her on him by giving. It was mortgaged. Every dollar she realized was sent to him. Her own servant she had dispensed will) all but, one was discharged. Then she stood alone. What was she to doT Sho could not appeal to her sister; she remembered the taunts thai her sister had extended her. She went out and procured a situa tion as governess in a wealthy lamdy, one of her old Irieuds. Public indig nation became intense. Jud e Alher- ton's daughter a governess I l'eople blamed her for her folly, but she smiled serenely. Her reward was yet to come. She believed Kuperi's tame would compensate her for all ! Two years passed away, ami even she could not deny to herself that she had failed greatly during that time. Then a letter came to her; it said: "My patient doe, I am coiiiiifg at last. Be ready for me in May. Write me one more letter." Accompanying it was a paper con taining a notice of h.in and Ins great medical skill. American papers con gratulated themselves upon having such a rare acquisition to the medical fraternity She read aud wept tears ofjoy. He was coming at last! "You must not be surprised," she said, in her responsive epistle, "to find me much changed. 1 think my health has laded during the pasl two years quiie rapidly." She Knew the name of the ship in winch he was to sad, ami watched the slow, seemingly cndlesk days go by. She wa- I'm I of peace and joy; he in coming she as content. Those t ha L knew lu-r said that her lace wore the expression of an angel lie that as it might her heart wore the hap piness ol one! She heard wjien the steamship ar rived. They only lived twenty miles ilis::uit sure he would come tne next day. But the next day came, and the next, ami the next, and he came not. ."he saw his name among the arri vals; was1 he sick ? She was templed lo go down and see, when a gentle man called upon her. "I Lae wen your friend. Doctor Kingsland, in i he city," he said. " lie told me lo itilorm you that he had been detained, and would soon be up." The announcement took one pang from heart only lo add another, lie was well she thanked God for that, but could she have been within twen ty miles of h.m for a week, without sending him some message. Thift wa all the reproach she al lowed her gentle heart lo make, wli.le she formed a thousand excuses for his cruel ueglect. Two weeks went past, and the num bered three. Then a note came to hich commenced as follows : ".My dear frieinL, I feel as if I can say lo you, through a noie, that which I wish lo say, belter than face to face. Esulle, you nave been my best friend, my good Samaritan, and I ani sure you will rejoice at my happiness, I was married last night lo Miss Morse You remember her. A young lady of wealth, beauty aud good position in soeiety " She read no more. Some one in the adjoining room heard a heavy fall, ami rushed in. They found her on the 'door, apparently dead. They picked her up, aud sent for a physi cian. "A 6evere shock," was his conclu sion. "She is dying of the heart dis ease.' - She became sensible again, but her heart was broken. Several years of waiting, and then the false-hearted, lover had left her utter squandering her property, to die in misery 1 Even, iheu she uttered no com plaints. She had all his letters, little keepsakes, and every trifle pertaining lo him brought to her. She bound them up and addressed them to him. "After I arn gone send them to him." she said. A week later they 'aid ber away, and fulfilled her request. , He began to practice early, and bis success w as wonderful, despite the notoriety, which his falseness had brought upon him. On the first day after he'eturned from Europe, Mary Morse gave a par ly. She made her brother promise to watch Dr. Kingsland, and bnug him up with him. "See if 1 don't win him from that faded Estelle 1 Atherton?" she ex claimed before he met her And she did so.

THIS PUIt , CENT A U IS. The next morning after the election in Maine, the Now York Tribune, which is always so reliable in its esti mates, had the following: "V esti mate the change on the vole of Maine, wrought by the Liberal Republican movement, at about five per cent. We may be certain that in no other jiart of the Union will the change be less; in few so small. Well, the live per cent, on the last presidential vote sh its the States of Pennsylvania, In diana, Connecticut, California ami Alahunia, from the Grant column to its opposite. Add these to the States already Democratic, and we have l'! out of the 134 electoral votes neces sary to a choice. But Missouri is clearly ours, and her fifteen votes leave but fourteen more to make up, niter the Grant route in October, out of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Arkansas, North Carolina. Ohio, Illi nois, aud others scarcely less probably ours. ' The lesson, then, of the Maine elic lion is plain: It reveals a percentage of change, which, wilh proper organi zation and work, give in Pennsyltania and Indiana in October.1 After these, ihe battle wins itself." Thu next day after the above ap peared, and when the result was more accurately aseeri. -lined, the New York TfibuM goes on lo say farther about the percentage : "It is possible that the majority may rise lo a hundred or two above 1U.UD0. It can hardly fall many hun dreds below. The reduction from the majority in ISU8 may therefore be reckoned ns about '.i.jlHt. Wo hold up the result in Maine for inspiration and assurance, as we next turn with contideticc, now well nigh absolute, to Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iml.aua. Just consider the facts. We have gamed about (bur ami a Half per cent, of the entire Republican vote iu Maine. In the great central Slates all politicians know thai our gains are sure to be far greater, but couui them at only the same precise percentage. The Pennsylvania election in October, lbtiii, was carried for the Grant Slate ticket by D.b77 tnaji-rity. A change of 5,000 votes would have dt-feaied Ilurtiaui'i, then running for Auditor General. Fire thousand votes ate hardly one and a half per cent, ot "JUl,--i 1 1 i.epiiblicau vote tal at that time. A change ot less thau one per cent, would hate defeated Governor Geary iu ll). his majority being on ly 4,i'M. In other words, w.lli less tnati one-lh'rd the change in lVimsyl vauia which Monday's election shows iu Maine, we shall sweep tUe Key ttone State. Who doubts ih it the change, will be greater instead of less'r The Indiana election in October, lGS. was carried by the Republicans by less than I,UU0 majority for Gov ernor Baker. A change of one-third of one per cent, would have wiped out tins majority. In 1H10 the Dem ocrats carried the Slate by ma jority. In New York, the last im portant ejection carried by the Re publicans was in lt'Uli, when Govern or Feiuon was elected by 13.7.;U ma jority over llollin.ui. . A change of less than two per cent, of the ltG,lU.j vote cast for Felitoil would have given the Stale to Hotl'man. We do not pursue the examination in detail. The same percentage w ill give us Al abama, California, and Connecticut, ami these added tu the solid Demo cratic column, carry us ir.uiuphautly through. Edict al Republicans, let Maine bo your inspiration. She shows that success is within your A UIMILITATIXO SPECTACLE. The Boston Pud stigmatizes the spectacle exhibited by the Grant cabinet as humiliating und without a parullel iu our llepublicun hittory. Robeson, Secretary of the Navy, transported his carriage aad horses on a government vessel to Ports mouth, whence he made electioneer ing excursions into Maine, speukiug from the stump und uctively employ ing all the arts of the consum nte demagogue. He was thus using the people's money te oltruct their free choice in the election. Creswell, who reported a 'secession resolution in Maryland, only three weeks be fore th-e inauguration of President Lincoln, also travels about and tells the people of the North how perilous. peace with the boutu will be for them. Boatwell deserts the Treasu ry department, in which a competent financial in uister, would feel over whelmed with a sense of responsibil ity, aud goes round mouthing his plaititudes aud flattering himself that he comprehends the- business be was set to do for the country. ; Wilsou is running here and there almost with out aim, aud certainly, without in sight into the meaning ot this strug gle. Grant exhibits himself in dumb show from railroad cur platforms and tavern windows. They are every one busy with their, work, and for the time have abandoned tbeir duties, aud given over the claims of the country upon their official attention. Boutwell declared that it. was suffi cient ground for President Johnson's iuipeaebmeut that he suffered one of bis cabinet to do what he is himself openly doing for Grant. Such are the men who will retain office if Grant's re-election scheme carries. The question- is do the peo ple want such publio servants7 in, their employ? Is it safe to entrust the affair of a great' natiok to 6ucb bands? ' .

Not a thousand miles from Broad way ami Third street' there lives a gentleman, with his wife and two daughters. Several years ago a young gentleman of our city became partic ularly attentive to one of the young ladies, much to the annoyance and dislike of her parents, who used all their persuasion with their child to slop, if jmssible, any further attach ment, i'his. us is the case in nearly every instance, only united them the closer. Finally the objection of the mother was openly spoken to the young mail, to which he seemed very readily lo acquiesce, and his deport ment toward her was so gentlemanly that she fell sorry for her rash asser tions. Still, however, she could not see her Mary Ann fill any other sphere nor form any other ounce! ion I linn that f he hud planned for her. The young couple had then to resort to clandestine meetings. Thus tvo years passed, ami the intimacy grew so bold that it was noticed by several friends of the family, and it soon reached ihe ears ot the old gentleman. About a week ago Id called his daughter to him. and learning from her the state of afl'a.rs, he immediate ly sought the young man at his place of business, and calling him aside told In in emphatically that he had trifled with his daughter's honor and grossly disgraced both her and his family. He then demanded that the young man should marry his dan-Jfliicr or sutler the just punishment of an enraged pa rent. This did not suit the second party, and being somewhat averse lo iieing firced. he coldly told the fath er that he might be coaxed, but to be driven was against his nature. This surprised the old man. fr he had thought the young man void of any great courage, but seeing such was not the case, he spoke im.re mildly, and iu a friendly but firm manner pro posed to deed to the irii'l a fine house and lot, and give the young man S-j.O , and if he proved worthy of the trust lo advance him in business. "Well," said the incorrigible young man, "gie me the papers to that ci ted iu my own bauds, and I will agree to any proposition you make." The old man said it should be done the coming day, and the young man promised to gel his license and be married the same day il the old man insisted. 1 he day came, and with it the two met. Alter taking seals, the father ban led the deed and money to a third party, to be de!ierd to the yomg man when he fulfil led his prom ise. The young man, to the cousterna lion o all, pulled front his pocket a certificate of marriage with the old nan's daughter six mouths preiou. A tableau followed, anil the old man, accompanied by his son-in-law, repair ed to his house, where said young gentleman is now installed in a moat comfortable manm. CUIMTLV fcC ICMi AT A O ALLOW. On Thursday iu rning, June 4th, within the precincts of I ho jail, thu ia-t drc.td sentence of the law was carried out upon the person of Johu Conn, who wus at the last assue convicted and condemned to dea'h for the murder of an elderly woman named Aveline Little, mar Wyu deyer, in March last. Precisely at nine o'clock, the w e ched crimina', attended by the Kev. Mr. McAucliffe .was led forth from bis cell, aud quietly submitted himself to the ban s of the two executioners, who at once proceeded to pinion him. The prisoner tas taken to the foot of the gallows, and ttrtceiided the stairs without exhibit ing uuv agitation. He raised his hands twice us if iu supplication; aud upon the cap being thrown over his head aud tn-d the bolt was drawn. A scene now occurred that will never be forgotten by those who witnessed it. When the body passed through the drop the spectators of course expected to seo it swing underneath when the extent of tho ropo was reached; but what was their horror to see the trunk completely severed from the bead, fall into the pit below, wliiL the head was left duugling in the noose terrible and ghastly sight. Death, of course, was iustuutuueous. It is impossible to describe the seu satiou which this shocking spectacle produced. Every one present stood as if he were rooted to the spot, aud it was some time before most of the onlookt.rs could realize what had actually occurred. Tue blood rati iu a narrow stream from the bead suspended above aud, upon ap proaching the edge of the pit, the upper portion of the body was seen to partially raise itself iu convulsive shudderings two or three times be fore it ceased to move, the blood pouring in streams from the neck. The effect of the scene was sickeniflg in the extreme, but as soou as possible the trunk and bead . were put in a coffin aud removed. The cause of tli6 terrible catastrophe was the want of a y allowance on the part of the executioners for the age and : at tenuated frame of the convict. Far too great a - fall was riven, and though it might , be merciful as a rapid and painless mode of taking life, the result was certainly most revolting.' Jiath'urd Times. An Ii'ish jockey, once selling an old tteg to a gentleman, frequently observ ed with most emphiCio. earnestness that he was an honest horse. After the purchase the gentleman asked him what he meant by ah honest horse.

" IT 18 QUITE, TRUE, as the Granules tell us, that Grant has done' several things that Greeley never did, and never could have done. These shortcoming and inabilities ex tend quite beyond the sphere of bat tles and sieges to which I lie Granules wish to restrict them. Greeley never won a battle, nor concluded a siege, nor crushed the egg-shell of-a Con federacy, (after the meat had ' been sucked out by other bps), nor, receiv ed stocks, bonds ;,and houses, nor plucked the Government geese to feather the nests of his reialives, nor interpreted the Constitution on a drum-head, nor made laws odious by enforcing them odiously. GREELEY NEVER FOCOOT . it out all Summer (by the flank) , on one line, uor starved thirty thousand men to keep the enemy from being reinforced, nor let ns have peace in Yorkville jail and the Allmny peni tentiary. Greeley never was iu ihe army at all, and consequently could not have had to resign on account of an unfortunate contusion of ideas in regard to a iness-iabb soup-tureen. 'J We are quite sure that Greeley did not capture Vicksburg. and conse quently he could not have celebrated the victor' by descending the sta.rs of the St. Charles at New Orleans head foremost, and doing kutuus with his forehead upon each individual step. Greeley is confessedly a bump tious fellow, but he never decorated his sinciput with bumps like that. For ail his bght-hi-adedness. Greeley was never even charged with needing to steady his erran. and sinuous fool steps by a lamp post iu JUS EVENING S1EANDEP.INGS, , Greeley has traveled a good deal, but was never dumped into n baggage-car like shot rubbish. He has taken part in a good deal of junketing aud been conspicuous at a good many banquets, but has always kept his legs under the mahogany, and never crmiitcd the tegs of the m thogauy to stand alove his neck and shoulders. It has been the regret of Mr. Greeley's lile neter to have gone fishing; wheu he doe net time lo ', we do not th.uk he will go off after trout to Pennsylvania, while his confederates and relatives lay their nets in Wall street for a gold tish haul.

Ou the previous day, one of the most valued customers of the merchant, a tiu and sheet-iron worker, doing business iu the neighboring (then) village of Troy, bud recommended the poor bid to the luercUtut for the situation, though be said nothing about bis infirmity; aud there was the boy, with a beut aud snffeued knee, with a crutch under bis right arm, anxiously u waiting an encour aging word or look frnu the doubt ing merchuut, who, but for bis un willingness to disoblige so valued a customer, would at once bave dis missed the applicant. "Cuu you ruu up and down that steep ladder, do you think? ' eaid the merchant . "I can do anything I set about,' said the lud; aud he wetit to work. With iudftmitable energy, perseverance, and unflagging industry, in u few years the poor lame boy rose to the head of the employes of the ewtab lishment, and, soon after attaining bis majority, bis employer admitted him to purtuership. The merchant was Johu Speucer; the lud. Era stun Corning; aud for many years,' and until the death of tho former, these composed tu"e great business firm of Johu Speucer &; Co. , For the past forty years, few business men in the United States have been more con spicuous or more successful; uone more geuerous, large-hearted,' and strictly honorable, than Erastus Corn iujr, . . ; .... , ; . AVILSOly-GREELEY. ,The Evening Pud persists in its as sertion that Henry Wilson and Hor ace Greeley have been iu substantia! accord on the "Know nothing" ques tion that their difference 'was tine of degree rather thau of kind.' The truth is quite otherwise, They dif fered as follows: j 1. Henrys Wilson, after applying unsuccessfully for admission to the Know, nothiug ' lodge :iu bis town (Natick), triedftgaiu in Boston aud gained admission. . Mr. Greeley, on the other hand, never in his life en tered, nor sought to enter, a:,'Kn'ow nothing lodge, council, or conventicle of any kind. . . , .. , 2. Henry. Wilson, being himself the Republican candidate forgov, nor m lb;i4, himself voted and induced others to. vote for Henry J.Gardiner, the "Know nothin" candidate. Mr. Greeley, On the coutrary, voted that year and every year for the' Republi can as against the rival ' "American' or "Know nothing" candidates. We have no wish to magnify this difference, preferring to fishtto-dav's battle on to-day's issues. It .is the untruth of the'Pos? and ' the'' Ttmex, rather than the crooked wwys of Henry Wilson, that we now especial ly condemn. N. Y. Tribuiie. , , . ...... i . 1 ...

Senator for a: full term, ' in-1 he place of Hon. IL ,W, Corbett whose term, will expire on , the fourth , of March next. This result was brought about 'by the withdrawal of Mr Coi belt front the content at .the last moment, an event which was as un suspected by bis friends-a, bis op ponents, The pretence that ..bis friends were driven from him by the accession of Democratic strengt h is simply absurd; since, for fwd week-, they bad kept out of caucus with no earthly hope of success, except the assistance of that party. The reason Of the defection was unquestionably a weightier one A deep- sense .jf mortification v pervaded those who had earnestly striven to secure a rep re entutive in the Senate devoted to the interests of the State, instead of a corparation which the orgies in favor of the successful candidate failed to remove. We knew that Cor bett Was not a stasesmuu, .aud it is now evident that he is not a politi cian, and should confine him-eif ex clusively fo those commercial pursues in which he has amassed a fortune aud mad an honorable, name. The charge of fraud, insinuated by the StaU'fman of yesterday, is known to le false by every person now in the Capital, and is 'made only wi.h the intention of , withdrawing .the atten tion of the public from the bu-e means used by the monopolists to achieve the end they have now ac complished. That money, wine and more infamous bribes were freely offered, not only to Republicans, but to Democrats, is very generaf'y be licved. al boub the po,i he r of . us is always the case iu such matters, may be wanting. The people of the State will lie deeply grieved, a tby have rea-on to be. at the result. Ihe : Uitut was one iu which they were deeply in terested. It was simply a question as to whether a niouopoly. composed of strangers, ' who have come into the Suite only to plunder it, shall have the exclusive control of it legislation. It would seem that this has been settled by the late election of Senator. Had the question been submitted to the tieople, no one doubis that uitie-teuihs of the whole would bave been . opposed to the monopolists, but since the member have been purchased for one object, it is reason ub e to conclude that they will beieufler be wiiiiug tools.
