Something glowed and glimmered like a coal st the bottom of the cheat! Again the poor artist's pulse dronunad in his cars, while every atom of blood in his body seemed rushing to and fro in the wildest confu sion. After a little hesitation he reached down with Ids broad-bladed pallette-knife, and gingerly and daintily, with thrills of reluctance running through his eagerness, fished ap the burning coal, and blew from it the tabes, the ashes of the dead. The coal was a large ruby. It was without setting, but had been cut and polished by a jew eler. It was at red as fire, and ss lucid as sun shine. Oliver rubbed it with his handkerchief, opcrted his almost empty purse, and dropped the jewel within for safe keeping. Then ho exam ined the chest farther. The wen more gems glimmering and quivering like live things amid that human dust. it was not long until the young man tbrgot to be too particular. The pallette-knifc was no longer swift and certain enough. With his trembling lingers he pushed about the poor bones, finding plenty of treasure now ; and there, right under where ita heart rauat have been, a small gold locket. With something of awo and rev erence overcoming the greed which had taken possession of him, he opened the case. A' woman's likeliest, young and sweet, smiled out n I ion him, aa brightly aa if it had not lain in that dark prison-house for fifty veare. Tears came fnto Oliver's sharp eves aa he met the laiiL'hiiiL' irh'hce of the soft blae eves shining be neath the ripples of yellow hair. But those lean soon diiod iu the exultation of his new possessions. When certain that the chest had yielded the last of its jewels he emptied them into his hand kerchief, and tried to compute their value. The horror of his first impressions gave way to tri umph. The treasure wsa his own by right of discov err. There was no clue to the name of their i ffti.l he would say nothfflg Mld hi lVjag"3) his si venture. Thinking thus he again looked at the minia ture ; and this time observed a name, formed by a setting of brilliants around the inside of the case, in Oerman text Kthei.da. An old fashioned English name. Oliver did not reflect that the poor cousin of Camilla, de pendent on her uncle Catherwood, bore the name, unusual aa it wass Burying the strange coffin again in the shift-J vovaawa of these dan were tedious, and not without extraneous perils added lo those of navigation.

It took him two minutes to draw back the iron door placed before it at night, and to withdraw the bolts ; snd, daring thst time, he heard a light foot run down the steps and away from the house. On first looking out he saw nothing ; a great rush -of wind snd rain swept past him, snd he made a movement to close the door before he perceived a little creature in the doorway, wrapped in a warm cloak, from the hood of which, the bright little anxious face peeped out, as she held up a letter in one of her hands.

BT A. H. BLUB. If singing is so important part of pub lie worship, it is awid eutly necessary that it be sustained ss well as any other part of church service. Whatever, then, will promote good singing should be liberajjj sustained by members of the church. People mar talk as they wilL but there is nothing thai will do as much toward this as good singing schools, for wben singing schools are neglected, the music of the church most suffer. Is It not, then. the duty of churches to eucourage schools and good teachers, and ought not all connected with the church take a deep interest in the amoral musical Improve ment, not enly far the advantage of their own congregation, bat also for the public good. Ia Germany so taieher hi considered aa qualified u teach even a common school, was) has not some knowledga of music. Oa the continent of Europe they are visa ia this respect, and their music tortus a daily part of the educational train ing. It is found far more effective than tasks, the rod, or angry reproof, for soft ening rugged dispositions In respect to moral training and disci pline, we regard music, or singing, as the best thing to soften the mind. Nothing so quickly relaxes the mind and frees it from bad feelings and discouragements which the daily studies may engender.

W'ituess, C. C. Wade, Clerk of our said Court at office in Troy this 15th day of Sep- nd himself freoiieiitlv came. In the face of the rocky bluff there was an ...ean-cve. A very small cave, which the fiah ermen and other common people ignominiously dubbed a holet It may have been larger once ; hut at this time it was filled, nearly to the mouth, with deep sea sand. In high water it was cov ered entirely by the waves. But at low tide a small boat could push its way in ; and as it af forded a cool shelter from the summer snn, the two friends often cast anchor there for nn hour or so, while they ate their luncheon, or sketched the opswite hills. i he tide then, at ita extreme ebb, left the for tlasr end of the sand-cavern quite hare and dry. It was the first time that the visitor had ever found it so. He was thinking of running his boat agi'outul, and petting out, although there -et nieu io oe Homing more inicreming man Nelaui-sheils strewn about, when, suddenly, some thing sparkled in the level sunrsys. ills eyes were drawn to the glinunuring point. What was It? He looked again more earnestly. It was the end of a brass-bound wooden chest, protrml inj from the sand. The glittering of a brass nail had drawn his attention to the object. The color rushed into Oliver Greys moody fate, lie thought ot Captain Kid, of shipwreck ed merchsntmen, and the Arabian Nights, allia one flash of his vivid imagination. Then he laughed at himself, pushing hit nut shell of a akiff close to this buried chest, and leaping lightly out. At least J win see what it is.

I suppose. With hia oar he went to work to dig a way the sand. It waa hard work, and the perspiration soon stood on hia forehead ; but he had brought to light enough of the quaint, foreign-looking box-to show that it waa no common sailor's chest. - It was of strips of some costly oriental woods, in dark and light, very solid and heavy, banded together, so as to be almost covered with ita brass-fasten ings. In half an hour he had un covered the whole lid. The box proved to be about four feet long, by two wide, and two deep. At first he despaired of opening the cheat without further implements; for the hard wood was well preserved, ami (lie clasps scarcely rust ed. It bad evidently been buried in dry sand not exposed to the action of water, or even moisture, to any great extent. ith the blade of a stout knife, which the artist carried with him for use of various kinds on his little expe ditons, he succeeded, after a few minutes, in pushing bock the simple, old-fashioned lock, which sprang out ot its place with a Click. Then, for a moment, Oliver hesitated. As soon as he could command himself he cau tiously but eagerly raised the lid. What did he fiud 1 A corpse which looked aa if it might have been placed there yesterday, so perfect wsa its preservation -jammed down into this impromptu coffin, so much too short for it. It waa that of a noble and handsome man, not many rears ol der than himself, whose jet-black hair fill down in long ringlets about the velvet collar and ruf fled shirt-front. The dress was that of 1800, or before, when rich gentlemen yet indulged in velvet and thread-lace. In the forehead was a deep wound, aa of a hatchet, and there were blood-stain over the garment. . Who could the murdered stranger be ? Ahl while he asked himself the question while he gated, with lips apart, and concentra ted looks of interest and dread a change crept over (the inmate of the chest. The grayish hue deepened over the face ; the features sunk, fell ; the yellow lace mtHc. the silkrn vesfTnenis la- pected good fortune. A group of three awaited him as lie ironing ont upon the Leach hia friend George with his sister and cousin. After an eager dance at Miss Catherwood the artist darted a look of surprise at the young girl in white, just behind her. It only then oc curred to him that Miss Ashleigh's name was Etkrtdat He put swsy the singular feeling which arose at this coincidence, and at hreaktast was toe Hie of the party.

He was even good naturcd ta Mr. LyTton. Ifh thtrVeyes glittered with the consciousness of secret powor. And vet he wss troubled with a secret fear All day it had been growing upon him that there was a resemblance between the Ethelda of the miniature and the living Ethelda; who moved before him, golden-haired and blue-eyed the quiet, almost sad, companion oi ner naughty and brilliant cousin. At dinner that evening he suddenly asked Mr. Catherwood If Ethelda was a family name. In answer he Was told the following brief story: ' ( HAITI K 14. TH.E TRAOEDY OF ROBERT CATHERWOOD. "Ethelda is a name which so appears, here and there in our family," said Mr. Catherwood, reflectively, allowing his coffee to cool in its translucent cup.

"Ah!" murmured Oliver, his black eyes en larging! "Yea. Did yon ever hear of anything more pitiful r "Never!" was his earnest response, and he was so pale that Camilla would have laughed at him, only she could never hear the story of her great-Bunt'aHfate without tears coming to liar eyes. 1 "She was so yojing and beautiful, and so hap py !" murmurred the narrator, with as much sympathy at if he had been personally acquain ted with "her. "It came about in this wise : There were two Catherwoods, brothers, one of whom conducted the mercantile house in Lon don, the other in Bombay. Some reverses over taking the London branch, and some political events occurring at the same time induced the elder brother, in England, t.. sell out, and emi grate to A merica, where he established a pros perous business, am wrote to his brother In In dia to dispose pf his interests there, if possible, and join him in the New World. The Indian climate did not agree with Robert Catherwood, who had intended returning to his native land until he received this letter, when he changed hie mind, concluded to go to America, where it appeared probable that he could till further i n here nor there. I look a pirate's oath to her. on her dying bed, that I would bring this child to its uncle. James Catherwood, in New York city, and leave it with him, with the request of its mother that he would adopt it and care lor it as his own. I've put myself out a good deal to keep my promise ; but a pirate s oath is sacred to him ; and she said she'd atk (rod to forgive me if I would. 1 hope you'll be as kind to the little tut as Bobo that s mo has been.

As a mental exercise, also, music fixes attcn- lion, concentrates tbought, cultivates quick and nice discernment, while aa a physical exercise it brings into healthy action thbtfe vital organs which cannot be reached so effectually in aay ethet way. There is no occupation in lire with which music cannot harmonise. It is an inexhausti ble source of gratification ; a present joy, and in future years will ahed its soothing influence over the ruder experiences of life, lightening tiol, cheering the family circle, and binding it closer in union. If children learn to sing when young they will sing when they get old, and will often think back of their youthful days, and think of their grandfathers, who snug a hundred JfirieWsm we all be ? Where will be the million of hearts, now throbbing all the varied emo tions of hope and fear, love and pride hate and revenge, avarice and ambition joy and sorrow. All sleeping, their eyes forever closed in that dream that, knows no waking. O, solemn thought, that yon and I will be shrouded in the pale, wind ine ahcet, and laid in the silent grave ! It matters not how beautiful we may be, so much the more splendid the ban quetrj of the canker worm. These frail tenements of clay that we decorate with so much care and pride, will soon, ob very soon, be but the dust of '.he earth, that another generation shall trample up on. Soon the places now know us, will know us no more forever, ifoast not thy sell', 0, man of wealth, rfthy houses and lands, for how soon shall another sit in thy pulace, by the fireside ; and another wander through thy groves, and call them mine. An 1 thou vain votary of pleasure, cease thy foolish round of vanity ; pause a moment and ask the question : Where shall I be one hundred y'ars from to-day And listeu, from the depths of thy heart will come and answer in that unfathoma ble word, eternity,' yes, eternity. And thou wbo w. .nl. 1st gain a name immortal among thy fellow men, better nave thy name written in the Lamb s I took of Life. f eek to win a more lasting crowu than of immortal glory. And to the gay voyagers on the migh ty deep, I would say, set your vessel in order ; unfurl your sails, and prepare launch away into the shoreless ocean eternity. Look well to yoar compass that you may safely land iu the Heaven of eternal rest. And you, brave youth and gentle maid en, whose teet uit quickly through tne mazes of the giddy dance, and whose ear is delighted with the glad sound of Music, O, far better attune your voices to sing praises before the throne of the eternal, where your ears shall ever listen to the music of tbe Qolden Harps in the spirit land. Then their voices of melody seem to ring, Each tender strain to a diflcrent string, Though in harmony, sweet the echoes blend, And up to the throne of Ood descend.

Truth will never die : the stars will grow dim, the sun wilt pale his glory, but truth will be forever voting- integrity, upngniueee, nonesiy, love, goodness, these are all imperishable. lo grave can ever entomb these immortal principles. They hsve been in prison, but thev have been freer than before ; those who have enshrined them in their hearts have burned at the stake, but out ..f their ashes other witnesses have arisen.

A good humored writer thua defines her position in this re spect as contrasted with the opposite eez : "If you, ladies, are much handsomer than we, it is but just you should acknowledge that we have helped yoa voluntarily ma king ourselves ugly.

A gentleman in Boston had hit atten tion attracted, as he was passing along the street, by a woman who appeared to be in great distress. He stopped and in quired what troubled her so mnch. She replied in a piteous tone, "My husband is dead, and I have no money to bury him." The gentleman hesitated, bat she repeat ed her story; "If you don't believe me, come and sec." lie followed her into the house, and there, sure enough, her bus band was lying in the coffin ready for bu rial. The gentleman, pitying her. dis tress, removed his gloves, and, giving her enough money to bury her husband, bade her good morning and departed. He had gone but a few steps when he missed his gloves, and on returning for them entered wttfiout ceremony, and found the suppos ed dead man sitting up in hie coma omen- ting the money he had given the a few minutes before.

To t lie miud of a Frenchman tbe commander of an army is a gorgeous being, surrounded by a bril liant staff; he will show himself to bis troops, and be ever issuing to them high sounding proclamations. Napoleon s plain coat was the ally of his genius ; but a Napoleon who is never seen ; who never, when he had succetded in his maumuvres, congratulates either himself or bis sol diers; who sends his orders through a telegraphic wire, instead of an aid de camp, who carries on war without its ''pomp, pride, snd circumstance," is some thing utterly beyond the grasp ot the Gal lic mind.
