Edward Stone I pendoiUi jSBd balefally far-reaching u.u iub ouuiuioi ui , a jruuug physician, named iiidward otone. commenced practice i ,f ; pertain village not far Troth INew ,xo,rk City. . In saying that he commenc ed practice, I mean that he serious ly intended to do so when patients were forthcoming. In his medical Studies he made a specialty of dis eases of the eye; but a there is nothing of any accouat for aa ocu list in a email jvillae, he made a virtue of necessity, and put up his sign as physician mtroly, He in vested all the money he had in the world in a cheap little cottage, which he selected, not for its busi ness advantages, but because it was the very pink of periection in all other respects. For the fact was, he was engaged to be married as soon as his circumstances wou'd ad mit, His a (G a need wax Elli Thome, the daughter. of the village lawyer; and, poor as Edward Stone was, he would not have exchanged her siiver voice lor a golden uower. When he first entered into pos session he only furnished the two lower rooms of tho house, the front one being his consulting room, and the rear one bis bed-room. The visits of patients were like thosa of angels, 'few and far between;' but whenever he had an fxtra run of luck, he and Ella would have a fine time shopping together,' in order to furnish the house by degrees, and have it in readiness when the aus picious moment arrived. To keep up appearances an in dispensable thing in this world the doctor was obliged to keep some one to answer the door, and. make himself gnerally useful. Ia ac cordance with an invariable custom, the doctor got the largest youth ho could obtain for the the money; and this happened to be a dogged fellow, who eDjoyed the enviable reputa tion of having 'a devi! in him.' Of course the wages that Seth, as he was called, received from the doc tor were not sufficient to keep body and soul together; and as ho wrote an excellent hand, two birds were killed with one stone by Lawyer Thome's giving him occasional em ployment as copyist. The summer,, passed away au tumn came and went ana even winter brought no improvement in Edward's prospects; end the poor eUow often wondered whether his flowering hopes would share the fate of everything else the summer had brought forth. Just at this time, a wealthy man ofscience offered a large sum of money for the best treatise on the subject alluded to at the commence ment of this article. Being thoroughly conversant with every thing pertaining to that subject, Edward Stone applied himself to the task liko an enthusiast. He did not do this so much for the prize itself as for what laj behind it; for he saw in fancy a ruddy flame in his dingy fire-place, and beside it sat Ella Thorne, with a child on her knee, as much like her as it is possible for any bud to be like a flower. And although it was but an imaginary flame, it lent a new sparkle to his eye, as he sat up night after night engaged in that labor of love. A the work pro- gredsed, he read it aloud to Ella, and they laid a thousand foolish plans regard ng the expenditure of the money when he obtained it. So much was to be invested in the wedding-dress; so much in a per fect rainbow of a carpet for the par lor, and, to cap the climax, Edward added, with an effort to be fanny. 'We will buy that gandy picture of the Good Samaritan in Wellington boots and sWallow-tailed coat, that we saw in the shop window the other day. No telescope ever saw to many stars in heaven as the eye of Faith, and neither Edward nor Ella en tertained the possibility of a failure to secure the prize. But after the manuscript had been forwarded,' they waifei with their hearts in their mouths for the day upon which the successful competitor was to be announced. And every hawk they saw recodnoitering above the village seemed, to their anxious eyes, a carrier pigeon, bearing the intelli gence they so impatiently awaited. At length the momeniious period at rived, and the result justified their most sanguine expectations. Ed ward ras declared entitled to the prize, and was duly notified to ap pear forthcoming and receive the amount in hard cash. The two were almost beside themselves with joy, and; the wed ding-day was fixed at once, iiid- ,waxd lost no time in securing the mbneyi bat, like most yoang doc tors; !he Lad no bank account; so on ntrirninghome with tlie amount late nt night, be took the precau tion to fasten it in a belt about bis wawt..: After dismissing Seth, who was waiting for his return, Edward sal aowa by his bed-room fire, and i was soon1 lost in one of thoss reveries church, the sun would suddenly strrke through the painted window, : and Cake the gloomy aisle burst into blossoms with rubies and em- ptyo.u jnai tnemoraoie nigni. ; - fc Isirewaa usl behind Htie cottage, but winter had laid its ; icy finger on its warbling lips con- eequently the gurgling sound that broke the silence of midnight could not proceed from that. Whatever caused it the gurgling sound soon ceased, and wa? succeeded by the prolonged howl of a dow in the dis tance that peculiar howl by which the superstitious know that some one is dying in the village. The next morning Seth was on his way to the cottage, aa usual, when he encountered lawyer T home, who was just striking out for his morning walk. 1 think: we ar iioinjr t to Stth. fine day,' said he 't may be,' replied tlie latter; out it will be a wintrv one, if tU it red sky is any sign. The lawyer had an eye like i ' but for the life of him hr nould discover the slightest "tiue of . or ytix, not red you two you in the heavens. By the way,' said he, 'as have finished all but a page or of your last job, it will tkc out a moment or two to do it now. Seth was at first -disinclined to comply; but he finally went in and sat down with pen in hand, waiting for the ink, which the lawyer brought from his desk in the ad joining roors. Before comrheucing, Seth drew his hand across his eyes, as if to brush awav something which blurred his sight; and be had scarcely writ ten tne first word before he started nn and angrily exclaimed: ll don't ask yon for red ink ! The ins was as olacx as the ace of spades; and thi3 being Seth's second optical delusion that morn ing, the lawyer adxised him to de fer the copying for a short time Seth thereupon departed for the doctor's cottage, and shortly after ward carae rushing back to denoun ce that he had found a hatchet im bedded in his skull. In consequence at his suspicious conduct at lawyer btone s beth was promptly arrested, and was speedi ly brought to trial. .Directly atter the murder, it it transpired that the prize for the treatise was offered by a gentleman who knew of the peculiar situation in which Ebward Stone and EIH Thorne were placed, and in offering that prize he accomplished the doubt purpose of advancing the in tercsts of science, and of rendering pecuniary assistance in a delicate way. Next to Ella herself, no one was so horrified by the murder as this person; for, as it was followed by robbery, he reproached himself for being the indirect cause Of the tragedy. So, in order to make all the amends in his power, he devoted all his energies to the prosecution or the suspected man. Ueing an A ' enthusiast in regard to the theory upon which poor Stone had written, ho determiued- to reduce it into practice s a mean3 of conviction. H employed one of the most -Y-fue photographers i in New York City to photograph, the eye of the murdered man, and; thus obtaiu the portrait of the murderer. On the day of the trial the pho tograph so taken was brought into court in a sealed envelope; and af ter the preliminary proof had been submitted, the photograph was duly exhibited to the jury. The foreman was a weather-beaten old trapper, who would hive looked a wild-cat in the eye with perfect composure; but he no sooner saw the photograph then he covered his face with his horny hands and uttered a cry of horror that will echo in the ears of those that heard it until it is shut out by the cofin lid. It was the photograph of Ella Thome ! Every one saw from the wild ex citement that it would be useless to prosecute the matter further, and the prisoner was straight discharg ed from custody: but of course no one was so devoid of reason as to suspect Ella Thorne of any com plicity in the crime. Years passed, and the people of that village be gan to lose faith in the proverb tbat 'murder will out,' when Ella, who had devoted herself to deeds of charity since, that awful period, was summoned to the bedside of Seth, who had been wounded in a drunken trawl. Oo her arrival, the drunk -On wretch spoke as follows, although some of the wordsgushed out with a mothfal of blood : j ; Tbere is riot a creeping thing on Crod s earth that doesn't see the day it wished for wings; but nobody had the charity to suppose tbat I f !-: i ti - - . 'I ' ever wanted to be any better Man I was. Ever since I first saw you l.turned my back on God to worship the original of tuia portraiti v lie fumbled under the bed - cloth es for a moment, and she reeoiled in norror as he produced her own. miniature that she had given : to Edward Stone, and which was now ' his recital : j 'Mine was a nature' that could stand any number of kicks, when a single kind word would have been ; was superior. toxme but: in Joy for,ypu3 came between us like solved to send him to the only placo where I could meet him on j equal terms. That place was the grave. A .dying bed is no place for; hy- pocrisy, and I admit that the money was one incentive to the murder; but when 1 saw him gazing it this miniature just as I struck : him down, 1 drove the hatchet in an inch or two deeper as I thought of his love for you. I secreted that portrait with the money, and I want no other man to wear it next jto his heart, as I often did at night when no curious eyes were about; so yoa nre welcome to it, and all the! more so because it has the blood of Ed- ward Stone upon it.

As he pointed upward he fell oack dead; but the mystery t con nected with the photograph ; was solved; for the face photographed from the dead man's eye was; the one; it had viewed in Ellen's minia ture an instant before it had closed for ever.

The; sit uation is what might have been ex pected. It was openly said here, before the election; that Mr. Tilden should not, if elected, take hit seat. Oh the seventh of November the issue: between the Republicans And Democrats was emphatically deci ded. But there immediately arose another, not unlooked for, issue, between the office-holders and the people. The office-holders through their interested champons ot the press, in the Senate, and in I the Cabinet, continue to make a show of resistance. But ,- it is mostly 'cheek" and voice pratela vihilL They would all like to be a Return- ing lsoaru, and count inemsetves in.

This was th'e'.r first performance "after imperfect rehearsals made during the last few weeks of inclement weather, and, although the announcement was made only one day ahead, large audience assembled, induced to. come partly by curiosity and with the expectation ot witnessing a stupendous failure, j But in this they were happily deceived.

A Poetical Interpretation cf Nature- Tarboro, n. c.; . Jan. 8th, 1877 Mr I Editor . Man has' ! sym pathies with, nature, and tracing these sympathies to their sources, we find that they all spring origin ally from religious sentiments; these sentiments may be either true or false; nearly all the mythology of the Ancients is due to the deifica tion of nature, the poet of antiqui ty did I not comprehend nature; land lie therefore worshipped it. La ter pagarr poets threw it in the back ground, restricting themselves to man, as the only source cf inspira ionj Jrith - Virgilj fbr example, na ture wasbut a stage-machinery, setting off the actions the men and women, as in book 9th, line 22. ' I kNox exat, et placidum carpibat jessa soporem, corpora per terra, & It . was night, and weary bodies over the earth were enjoying peace ful sleep; &c. ' i ' j i In this scene the calmness of ' night iS'an off set against the 1 agi tations of Dido. The Poet places . it not in sympathetic accordance with the frame of mindof his suffer ing heroines.. "! . j', Christianity has taught man the true interpretation of nature; it first teaches that the visible world is a mirror reflecting the Creator, His Unity, immensity, Power and Beauty .Secondly, it teaches that by the fall of man, nature suffered, and . that there is an infinite union be tween them both. Thirdly, it teach es that nature, is .awaiting to be trans- figured, and regain its perfection, when regenerate; man shall regain his. St. John tells us that there shall be a new heaven, and a new earth. The attitude of Christian . party towards nature, may be sum medupintoo words:, "Reverence and Sympathy." Bevercned, be- ' cause jn Nature the God of nature is dimly visible: arid , sympathetic, because 'between man and nature there are intimate bonds of fellow--,' ship.
