The speaker was bright, handsome girl of seventeen Rosa Crocker the grand-daughter of rich old Stephen Crock ir, whose death, a day or two before had brought sorrow to few hearts. Two grand children Horace Wart on and Ken a were his only relatives, and constituted his family. Horace was as mean of act and disposition as , the old man himself. Rena was a. beauty, and an amiable girl when she chose. Young as she was, Rena was a worldly-minded coquette to the very core already. She had resolved to get well married that is to say, to some per son of wealth and station both together, if possible, bat the former preferably, and then to enjoy herself at the utmost awing of fasionablft dissipation and luxury for the remainder ot her existence. "I don't see how it would be any harm," continued Rena, "aal wouldn't do any thing but read it, and there's no knowing how it might be tampered with by that rascally cousin of mine before it 'is read next Saturday 1 imagine that grandfa ther left the bulk of his property to me tmt there's no telling what notion the old fool may have got into bis head." Rena was alone in her chamber. 1 o think was to act with her. She knew that will drawn up and signed by the old man a year before his death was in his desk in the dingy old library. She had -often seen it, and wondered what were the contents so closely sealed from her eyes. It was dosk j and as she stole along through the dreary hall she half relented, and fina- ly paused on the threshold of the room she was seeking. Then, chiding herself for her weakness, she stole in, got the key of her grandfather s desk, and opened the drawer. There lay the will, sealed as she had often seen it. "But I'm no better off than before," she muttered. "I can't open it" It was useless to peep into its folds only detached words could be seen. But Rena was not inclined to be baffled iu her curiosity.

They evert ebatted pleasant ly, congratulating themselves upon the manner iu which they were opening the game. t- "You most be quite oppressed with the gloom of this old house," said Horace, as he waa about to go, "and I think a ride might do you good. I will be pleased to lake you this afternoon, if you would do ma the honor." "Nothing would please me better," replied the beauty, with a winning smile,. . The ride was bad. Each of the plot ters endeavored to be agreeable. Horace was bland and attentive. Rena sat dis tractingly close to him, was as amiable' as a woman Knows uow to oe wnen sne tries, and used her matchless eyes with killing effect. They dined on the road, and returned in the evening And when they parted for the night Rena allowed Horace, for the fitst time in ber lite, to kiss her.

Tire cause of her displeasure was the unpleasant and surprising fact that her grand ather had not is t her a solitary cent. Every particle of his ample, fortune weut to Horace Warton.? ller first motive was 10 destroy the will; but a second thought detained her. She feared the consequences of such an act. Again slightly heating the seal, she reffixed it lb its place, replaced the will in the drawer, aud went back to her room. After the first gust of iage had subsi ded she sal down to quitely think the matter over. There seemed but one way a a to retain any portion ot the property, ami that was by marrying her cousin Hor ace. She hited him vciy heartily, but her vanity had always told her that he admired her. She knew her beauty, and over-estimated its effect upon her stolid cousin. "But five days remain before the open ing of the will, ' she mused "before that time I must lure Horace into an otter ot marriage." About the time that Kena was gaining her surreptitious knowledge of the will her rich cousin Horace waa seeking after precisely the same information. Betak ing himself to the office of Ha' man Nesbit, the lawyer who had bee 11 entrusted wttb the legal business of his grandfather, be found that gentleman alone. He knew something of the lawyer's character, and at once proceeded to business. "Yoa drew op my grandfather i will did yoa not f " he asked. 4Yes." 'How long ago 1 1" "About six months ago.

"Hut you would tell me if sufficient rea sons a ere advanced. were blinded by the glitter of the golden stake. f. During the' next day Horace remained nearly all day in the house, and in the society of his cousin. He proposed going to the theatne in the evening, but Rena urged the impropriety of so doing : their grandfather's recent death would make it highly improper in the eyes of their friends. tj "Bat we can go to Brooklyn," suggest ed Horace, "nobody will know us there." To which the beauty assented, aiid Horace kissed her. She didn't resent his impudence. On the contrary ber lips clang to his iu a gentle, thrilling re joinder. They went to the theatre, grew confi dential and loving, and supple men ted their good-night kSs with a bug. "I m progressing famously, thought Horace. "To-morrow I'll propose to 1- n her." "I'm bringing him around famously," thought Repa. "He will come to the point in a day or two." And come to the point he did on the following Friday the day before the opening of the will. He swore undying love for her; j She affected surprise ; was eufficieutly coy for appearance, but con fesard an ardent passion for him. Both lies found believing hearts. After a large amount of bugging and kissing which such an occasion like this demands, they disi'cussed the practical details. I am impatient for the happy event,'' be said squeezing her haud. "And so am I.'' she replied, returning the pressure gently. "But grandfathers recent death " "Bother grandfather," pouted Rena.

"I'll tell yon, Rena," he said, as if struck by a new idea, "we might get married privately, and keep it a secret until a becoming length ot time has elapsed." " As you please dear Horace."

A barn m the neighborhood was mysteriously burn ed, and it was at once conjectured that the murdered man bad been buried uuder it, and that the fire waa intended to des troy all traces of the crime.

Meanwhile Stephen was induced by the remarks opon the hope esnet8 of their case to confess the crime in the espeetatiou of mercy from the Court This confession was tbe chief evidence against them. Notwithstanding it was B It M drawn out by hope ot obtaining a more favorable verdict, and that nobody had been found as proof of the murder, or even that Colvin was dead, the brothers were convicted, and sentenced to be hanged on the 28th of January, 1820. The charac ter of tbe evidence upon which ihey were convicted will attract the attention of law yers at thia :ime as showing what remarkable changes have taken place in criminal jurisprudent e. So decisive did the testimony agsinst them appear to be that the mother of the convicts was expell ed from the Baptist Church, and the lath er was held as a prisoner for a time upou the suspicion that they must have been accessory to the murder. A few of the citizens who were disposed to be merciful signed a petiton fr the commutation of the sentence against the Boorns. Tbe Legislature voted to change tbe sentence of Jesse to imprisonment for life, but refused to interfere with that of Stephen. It oc- curred to Stephen in an inteiview witu nis counsel that it would be a good plan to advertise for Colvin in the newspaper. Up to that point his counsel had believed him guilty, but he assured them that his confeasiou waa untrueand that he was innocent. The following notice was there fore printed in the Rutland Herald; 44 Murdkr.

We have purposely omitted The Power of a Locomotive. When the first locomotive was patented, driving only one car, if lightly loaded, it did v ;ry well ; but when the load it drew was heavier than it own wheight, its wheels would not bite that is, they would turn round and round' without advancing. Hence a cow catcher was needed behind to guard against cattle running into it in the rear. It seemed at first impossible to make a lesa weight move a greater ou an up grade ; and for some years no one inveuted an engine able to draw three times its own weight. At tbe pre sent day, however, locomotives sweep along with trains more ponderous by tit t en or twenty times than they are tl e.u- f v r a s Ives. Une means ot gaining tnia vast increase of power for tbe locomotive, waa by dividing the load. It was found, that an engine powerless to stir five limes its weight of frieght when concentrated in one car, could readily draw it when dis tributed in a doxeu cars loosely shackled together. It was heavier than each other ng!e car; and it bad overcome tbe iner tia of each one a moment before it en countered the inertia of another ear taken singly ; and, pulling them successively, it drew after it a train as long as a cornel, and the farther it ran the more strength it had to run further. Here was the story of little David over again. Ordinarily, the stripling's weight, as he told Goliab, was one hundred and twenty, but when ever he got mad he weighed a ton. More over, the engine forced tbe momentem acquired by every car it bad started, to swell its own potency in overcoming Ut resistance of all that remaiued still motionless. A New Writiko Ma chink.

The keys are arranged in four rows, like the keys of an organ, and are operated n precisely tbe same principle, t he ham mers are arranged in a circle, aud when tbe key is pressed the corresponding let ter moves to the centre, receding again immediately when the pressure is removed. A space key is provided, by means of which the spaces between the word are made. Mr. Washburne, of San Francisco patented an improvement on the machine, and he contemplates ihe use oi printer's ink. In the original, the eolor is taken from a prepared ribbon, which is between ibe hammer and tbe paper.
