We would like to know, and like to have a communication from, the young man who has just attained his majority who will, at a date we need ndt now fix, be President of the United States. The yon ne man exists somewhere, and w hope he is in training for his high office. On the 8th of January last Prince Edward of Wales, who is predestined, if aU goea well with him, to be; King of England, came of aj;e. He is marked and set apart : he is under certain bonds of behavior; his education to be a king must riously begin, and all England is interested in it ; it will watch every action and criticise every tendency. He U no longer a free man, and he cannot be self-supporting ; there is lio. occupation Tie can enter on for giiiniug a livlihood consistent with his coming dignity.. The. government must vote him an annual supply of money; and L he must have an establishment, and begin to piny his role. If he- is a Lid of spirit, he m ust chafe under this espionage, this restraint, and limitations of hi.-idependent condition. - His subjects hold the pnrse string ; his subjects demand t hut he shall be this and shall not le that ; his subjects have now the ballot, and can cut him off with a shirting, or put him one side alto gether.

I had rubber overshoes tin lined with fur, a fur hat which came down over my head like the snuffer of a candle, fur gloves, and over all a long wolf -skin ulster that trailed after me on the ground. It didn't take long to reach Young's. It was too cold to linger by the way. Young's place was laid oat as most Dakota farms are. His house was a comfortable frame building without any more rooms than were absolutely necessary. Lumber costs money 300 miles away from the nearest sawmill. ' His woorthouse was joined to n,f kitchen, and hir barn, which was by all odds the best buildine on the place, stood at the other end of the vard about 300 feet away. While we were eating dinner we heard a roar like, the tramp of au army in the distance, and the house trembled as if it was afraid. Nearer came the roar and nearer, until it sounded as if a battle were being fonght in the vard. The house shook until the dishes rattled on the table, and then it rocked on its foundation like a cradle. We looked out. of the .vindow. and it seemed as if sheets had been snread across the tramps Vn could no more see out ttian if thev had been closed in with sheex iron. All this time the sun, was shining, and wc could see it through the snow rather dim but still nt work. '"Blizzard, by Thunder!' remarked l ofcng laconically when we had recovered from the Bhock. 'Well. I linm it won't last long, that's alL I'm getting tired of 'em. This makes the fourth we've had this month and the lrost lasted nearly a week. We like to've starved to death' " All thatdav and niuht the storm con tinued without a second's ce-Ration. And all the next day and the next until we had . oeen in tne nouse ior lour clays and four nights. In the meantime the horses and the cows were nearlv famished, and none of us dared to venture out in the howling storm to feed them. Finally, at the begin ning of fifth day Young concluded lie would try a trip to the barn and give them some food. The weather was bitter cold. don't think I ever knew before what, cold weather meant. Young bundled up until he looked like an Esquimaux mum my." He was wrapped in furs from his. his head to his feet, and around his waist was tied a piece of clothes ine. This was intended to insure his return. If he stnn- ped too long by the way bx fell or became oenumoea we couia use the rope to pull him In with.oherwise he raicrhtrreetA f?6Hl& ifeTtrtl 6llfieTTTf6 TTl5rt!M JV hlfiTlH?lj", tor he coulda t see a foot oe Tore his face. After he left we waited with considerable anxiety for him to give three quick " jerks to let ns Know mat ne naa reached the barn. In about fifteen minntes we felt the rope twitch three- times, and we knew he had gotten there all right. Then we wait ed again for him to pull the rope and let ns know-tnat ne waa reaav to start b:.ck. This, trip would be -comparatively easy. for all he had to do would be to follow the rope, which we would pull in. Iu the course of an hour we began to be uneasv. The rope hadn't moved. Finally I offered to tro to the barn and see What had become of him. I bundled up and started out. followed his rope and reached the barn in a very few minutes. '1 he horses were all feeding: the cows were up to their horns in fodder, but Young was nowhere to be found, j Rol a trace ot him was left. The barn door was tightly closed, which showed that he had not stepped outside intending to return in a moment I shouted until I was hoarse, and finally returned to the house and made my report. Then the hired man and J went back with two lanterns, for it was growing rather dark. We searched the barn as thoroughly as possible, but he was ot there. Then we stumoiea arouuii ine oaruyaru, Keeping hold of one end of the rope, but all to no avail. We were obliged to go back with out our host His wife was inconsolable. She insisted that he must be in the barn, and to please her -we made a third trip, but with the same result as before. Two days afterwards the storm lifted and we' started out to search for "Young. We found him about twenty feet from the barn door frozen stiff.! He had a ,rope around hiswaist. He hadevidently made a mistake in fastening on the rope in his hurry to return and tied on the wrong rope. The one he used was not attached to the house at all, but was lying in the barn be side the one he had just taken off. He had probably tramped around in the snow for an hour trying to reach the barn or the house, but was unable to do either, and finally fell within a few feet of his starting point. That is all the blizzard I ever want. . , A Woman of Bualnesa.

As -fie proceeds hia voice rises, though he seldom departs from the conversational tone. - His gestures are of the mildest kind, as ne evidently relies rather on the strength ot his arguments, than on the muscular or declamatory mode of convincing. Learned, polished, courteous, conservative, fertile in ideaa,and with the literary ability to. express them in choice language. Mri Bayard is pre-eminently the gentleman and scholar of the Senate. It is safe to assert that. feV persons have attended three consecutive sessions of the senate daring this or the last Con gress without hearing from Senator Beck, the horny-handed, big-brained member from Kentucky. I have heard it said that by actual connt his speeches occupy -nsmuch space in the Record as those pt cny other five Senators combined always excepting Ingalls. who talks for the sake of talking. Mr. Beck is not eloquent, nor is there any considerable number of his listeners who can be said to hang upon his words: still his speeches bear the impress of a hardy intellect and wide reading. When he rises to speak he al ways has a formidable array of documents in his hand, but as he seliom refers to them it is said that his object is to dis hearten the enemy by exhibing his strong fortifications. His voice is rather monotonous, and hi only gesture is a swinging, left-handed one, which is any thing but impressive. Senator Edmunds is confessedly the ablest civil hi w yer in the Senate, but t fancy t hat he would cut a poor figure before a jury. He lacks nearly every attribute of eloquence. His voice is so weak that the reporters canjwith difficulty atch his words; his delivery resembles that of a school boy, and the closest observer can sHtution - : - A.f cnarges. u m the letter is inserted.

In due course of time the betl reached Philadelphia.jand under date of March 10, 1753, Mr. Norris again writes: "In that letter I gave information that our bell was generally liked and approved of, but in a few days after my- writing I had the mortification to hear that it was tracked by a stroke of a clapper, without-any other violence, as it was hung up to try the sound ; though this was not very agree able to us, we concluded to send' it back by Captain Budden, but he could not take it on Doard, upon which two ingenious workmen undertook to cast it here. When we broke up the" old metal our judges here generally agreed that it was too high and brittle, and cast several little bells to try! the sound and strength, and fixed upon an ounce and a half of copper to one pound of the old bell, and in this proportion we now have it." ? The casting was done by a native of the Isle of Malta mimed Pass, and son of Charles Stowj It was discovered that too much copper had been used, and a second casting was found tn h j and in the firsts week of June, 1753, it was iciiuug in me oeirry, us weight being 2,080' pounds. ! In 1774, the base of the woodwork of the steeple was so decaved that it was taken down, and a small bel fry alone covered the bell. Since then, however, the steeple has bee n reconstructed as it originally stood., Iu 1777, at the time the British were expected to occupy the city, the bell was removed to Bethlehem. It occupied one of the wagons of a tra of 700 all under charges ot Col. Polk a I detachments of North Carolina a ain and fArnlinsL nn,l Virginia troops At Bethlehem, September A uii, the old bell met-with its first ac c.deiit, the wagon which carried it break ing down, but fortunately it sustained no injury.

IVith are men of cu'.tivated in tellect, both somewhat of poets, and JmxIi nt times not' at all practical in their idea of legislation. Senator Hawley is a calm, business-like sj)e;iKcr, seldom grows ex-. - cited, and shows eminently practical ideas on the sub;e;ts he discusses. He is n ready bebater and a bitter partisan. Senators Coke and Morgim. though men of recognized ability, arc famous for their skill in emptying the galleries and msiug a general stainj.cde even from the lloor.

Of the Senatorial Jonese-two - ht TIresen and three in prospectthe man from Florida alone raises voice in the Capitol. His namesake, of Nevada js too much engaged in privatespeculation togir any time to public measures. The Senator from the Land of Flowers affords a laughable contrast between physical pro portions and voice. He is fully six feet tall and unqualifiedly obese : yet a more delicate feminine voice than hi never proceeded from the mouth of the most ethereal dude. When he takes the 'floor, he throws back his shoulders, inflates his chest and indulges in a commanding sur vey of the Chamber. A stranger, ex pecting a thundering voice to proceed from such an imposing presence, bears only a most attenuated tenor. Senator Jones is, however, , a man ot practical ideas, a hard student and is ad mired for hia .intellectual attainments as well as -his rare modesty. - All that can be truthfully said of the oratorical efforts of Senator Plumb, of Kansas, is that they are - invariably directed to the accomplishment of his private ends. He has ability mid excels n declamation, but the wett-informed al ways see a job beneath bia words when he advocates or opposes a measure. Senator Lamar is next, to Mr. Bayard, the Solon of the Democrat ic side. He ia consulted by his associates on all im portant questions, and no other man's opinions have more weight. Senator Jonas, of Louisiana, is a man of few words but great practical legislative ability. He- is worker rather than a talker- a man who can always be seen in his seat and is more esteemed than many of those who furnish the Seuatorial noise. These are the gentlemen whose voices are oftenest neara in tne urawa dwi Senate. Among the others there are a few scrupulous workers, a few who have not yet had time to show their abilities and several brainless millionaires. Phil adelphla Times. - .

Etra Alden was in love with Clara Scndder, and sometimes in moments of great exaltation-for he was a modest youth, as every trHe lover should be he had dared to think that she did not frown upon his passion. But Clara was the Squire's daughter and an heiress, while Ezra was but a small farmer, and so far from successful in that pursuit that it seemed absurd as well as impossible that he should aspire to the hand of the lovely Miss Scudder, who had been courted in vain even Jy fine city gentle men. : So he had sighed and cast loiigi ng looks Ws-'place. In. the.ch.cir (where e sang in fine tenor voice on Sundays) into the Squire's pew ; and more than once he thought pretty' Clara blushed .brightly, and he knew well'enough .that she always smiled, sweetly, and her voice wheir she spoke to him had a caressing sound, aud altogether her manner toward him was not discouraging. , But Ezra would not be encouraged. He felt that it was Useless for him to ask the Squire for his daughter's hand unless" be had a good pot of money in his own hand with which to back his proposid. So, in stead of trying to compass the desired end by increased industry he neglected his little farm more than before, and spent his whole time in wishing that Ire could find a pot of money somehow in the man ner of old-fashioned stories at the foot of a tree or under the foundation of his house, : Suddenly a rumor spread abroad that a wonderful gypsy had appeared. Of course the rumor reached Ezra Alden, and equally, of course, he was much exercised in mind concerning it. He found out the piace where the fortune-teller divined these fair fortunes, and n after watchinsr the behind the western hills, ho thither stealthily. She was a verv old woman bent almost double ; her lined and wrinkled face was the color of a but ternut and the tangles of her hair hung in elf like grizzled lock about her brok and ever her cheeks ; but her black eyes had a wonderful brilliancy and such fa eeu iook. mat tncy seemed to see ri throueh him. ' -1 know the desire ot your heart mv pretty gentleman," said the gypsy It is a certain maiden not a hundred miles away, only you have a faint heart that seldom wins a fair lady. But if you could hntl a pot of money your spirits would be bolder. Listen to me and obey me, and you shall have your wish. You must dig up every foot of land vnn imcn.. . -.., musn't grow weary in your seareh jou must dig and dig continuously, and. plant and harvest, and dig again if necessary; and, mark mv words, before a very long time you will find the pot of money and the maiden will be yours." 1 Ezra listened with faith and departed with joy in his heart.

" I haven't found mv not of money, but this little pile is not to be despised, anu i snail Keep on. Jiy George I wonder if this is what the old gypsy meant." Ezra had some time on his hands hoviH for dreaming; and he took to sighing for Clara once more, out in a more hopeful spirit. . " I will speak to her father," he! thought ; and. if he gives me encourage ment, I will ask Clara, plump, if she will marry me." . So he took his money bag in his hawd and sought the presence of Sauire Scudder. The Squire sat reading a volume of the "tickwick Papers" in his handsome old- fashioned parlor, and being in a very genial mood, he received l!.zra with the m st encouraging kindness, and listened to all he, had to say with a benignant smile. it is not a great deal," continued Ezra, holding up his money bag. " but j there's more where I found this, sir." ' And pray, where did you find it. Mr. Alden ? " ask the Squire, rather taken I aback. " At the roots of my wheat and barlev." answered Ezra, adding, with a laugh: To tell the truth, sir. I consulted a fortune-teller, and she told me to dig and dig, and I would certainly find a pot of money. I haven't found it j'et, but I in tend to keep on digging, and . I don't doubt but I shall find it by and by." squire cuoder Durst into a hearty laugh, and kindly patted Ezra on the shoulder. i ' I don t doubt but you will, my lad," he said cheerily. " Honest industry is the best pot of money any young man ever found. As for Clara, you can talk over that mat ter with herself she's sitting there by the window, hidden behind the curtains." Now that was dreadfully mean of the Squire not to have given a hint of Clara's present e before, but he didn't, mean it. It seems quite impossible for these old gen tlemen to realize how serious such mat ters are to boys and girls. ' - Squire Scndder rose with a nod and a smile and went away, leaving Ezra in dire confusion staring at the window cur tains, and wishing the floor would open antl swadow him. But it didn't. Instead thje wim'ow Jt urtains opened and a lovely youug hidy stepped out from them. -"So. Mr" Alden." She said stepping for ward. " yon consulted the gypsy fortune teller, too." "O, Miss Scndder Clara you have heard everything, stammered Ezra, sink ing into the chair fro:n which -he had risen in his first consternat ion. What a terri ble fool you must think me.! " ' But 'I don't 1 have great confidence in that gypsy's predictions." "Then you consulted her, too ?" asked Ezra. .... " Dozen of times she lieguiled me of all mv small silver." ' Well, she got but a single piece from me, that's .some cemfort," said Ezra, re covering somewhat, and venturing to laugh slightly. "Was it anything like this?" asked Miss Scudder, producing one from her pocket, and holding it toward Ezra on the palm of a hand like cream. Ezra looked and started and gave a lit tle cry. It was bis own lucky silver piece. He glaricefl into the laughing, blushing face ; and then for the first time he looked straight into Clara Scudder's eyes. They were very dark and wonder fully brilliant ; but this time they did not seem to look through him they sank be fore his glance, and veiled themselves under lovely, long, black lashes. "O, Clara!" murmured Ezra;- you were the gypsy ! " " Of court I was." "And you knew I loved you- all the time" "Of course I did, you foolish boy that's why I had to invent a way of tell ing you so."
