Kings and the mightiest men of arms, B'.roug as the heads of realms they bide Sport as they may with fortune's charms, They are like leaves upon the tide.

BY EMMA D. E. N. SOUTHWORTII, AUTIIOB OK "THK BRIDE OP AN KVKNISO," "TUB I)E:EltTKU WIFE," ETC., ETC. continued. '"Have you got through?' asked the man at the door, rapping impatiently. " 'No, no,' said I, as directed. "He resumed his tramping up and down, and I wont back to my patient. She beckoned me to come close, and whispered '"Save my child! the living one I mean! hide her! oh, hide her from bim! When he demands tho twbe, give him the poor little dcod one he cannot hurt that! And he will not know there was another. Oh! hide and nave my child.' 'Master, I was used to queer doings, but this was a little tho queerest. Hut if I was to conceal that second child in order to- save it, it was necessary to stop its mouth, lor it war squalling like a wildcat. So 1 took a viul of paragorio from my pocket and give it s drop, and it went off to sleep like an angel. 1 wrapped it up warm and lay it along with my shawl and bonnet in a dark corner. Just then tho man rapped again. " 'Come in, master,' said I. "'No bring tuo thn babe,' ho said. "I took up tho deud infant. Its mother kissed iis brow and dropped tears upon its little cold face; and I carried it to the man outside. - "'Is it asleep?' the willain asked me. " 'Yes, master,' said I. as I put it, well wrapped up, in his arms,' 'vory sound asleep.' " 'So much the better,' said the knave, walking away. ' j 'I bolted the door and went back to my patient. With hor free hand she soized mine and pressed it to her lips, and then held up ber left hand, pointed to the wedding ring upon hor third, finger.' '"Draw it of and keep it,' she Raid; 'conceal the child under your shawl, arid take her with you when you go; save ber and your lortune shall bo made.' ' ' 1 ' I declare, tuislcr, I hadn't lime to think, beforei I hoard one of them wretches rap at the door. " . . " " 'Come! get ready to go,' he said. - "She ald beckoned me. I hastened to her. With eager whispers and imploring gestures she prayed me to take ber ring and save her enild. , " , "But you,' said I' who is to attend ycu? ... . ' ."'I do not know nor care! ' Save her!' ! "The rapping continued. ' I ran to the corner where I had left my things. ,: t I put on my bonnet, made a sort of slir.g round mjr neck of tho silk bandkerchcr, open- - : : " : v "''-: ed the large part of it like a hammock and laid the sleeping babe there. Then I folded my big shawl around my breast and nobody any the wiser. The rapper was very impatient." 'I am coming,' said I. " 'Remember!' whispered the poor girl. " 'I will,' said I, and went and opened the door. Thero stood t'other willain with his head covered with black crape, I dreamt of nothing but blackheaded demons for sis months afterward. " 'Are you ready?" ssys lie. " 'Yes, your worship. says I , " 'Come along, then,' "And binding another silk handkerchief round my eyes, he lead me along. "Instead of my mule, acairisge stood near the horse block " 'Get in,' says he, holding the pistol to my ears by way of an argument. I got in. He jumped up upon the driver's seat, and we drove like the wind. In another direction from which wo come, in couise, for there was no carriage road there. The carriage whirled along at such a ra.to it made me quite giddy. At last it stopped again. The man in the mask got down and opened the door. '"Where are you taking me?' says I. " 'Bo quiet.' says he, 'or' and with that he put the pistol to my cheek, ordered me to get out, take the bandage from my eyes, and walk beforo him. I did so. and saw dimly that wo wero in a part of the country that I was never at beforo. We wero in a dark road, through a thick forest. On the left sido of the road, in a clearing, afoSd, an old house; a dim light was burning in a lower window. " 'Go in there,' said tho williin, putting the pistol to the back of my head As the door stood ajar I went in to a narrow, dark passage, the man all the while at my back. He opened a door on the left side, and made me go into a dark room. J ust then the unfortunate child, that I had been moving restlessly began to wail! Well it might, poor starved thing! "What's tnat?" says the miscreant, under his breath and stopping short. " "It aint nothing, sir,' says I, and 'hush- h-h' to the paby. But the poor little w rot oh raised a squall. " 'What is the meaning of this?" says he. Whom did that child come from? Why the demon don't you speak?' and with that he seized me again by the scruff of th) neck and shook me. " 'Oh, Master, for the love of heaven don,t. says I, 'this is only a poor, unfortunate infant as its parients wanted to get outen the way1 and hired me to take- caro on. And I hare had it wrapped up under my shawl all the time 'ccpt whon I was in your bouse, when I put it to sleep in the corner. " 'Humph! and you had that child conceal ed undr your shawl when I first stopped you in the woods?' " 'In course, Mastor,' says I. " 'Whosj is it?" " 'Master, says I. 'it's it's a dead secret, for I haddent another lie ready. "He broke out into a rude, scornful laugh, and seemed not half to beliove me, and yet not to care about questioning me too closely. He made me sit down then in the dark, and went out and turned the key on me. I wot my finger with pnragoric and put it to tho baby's lips to quiet its pains of hunger. Then I heard whispering in tho next room. Now my eyesight never was good, but to make up for it I believo I had the sharpest ears thf t ever was, and I don't think anybody could have heard that whispering but me. I saw a little glimmer of light through tho chinks that showed me where the door was, and so I crceped up and put my ear to tt e key-hole. Still they whispered so low that no oars could o' heard thorn but my sharp ones. They wan talking about selling some woman and child. I should 'av been oneasy if they hadn't called the woman Kate. My willain offered 'em fifty dollars, but t'other willain wouldn't give a cent. Ho told my willain, as he called Cap- 'sin, that he'd take 'em off his hands and no more. And then they threatened each other and went out o' my hearin', And in the mornin' the new willain camo and took roe and the child off in a shsy and drove down a long way to the beach, and hailed a wessel on thu river ad took us aboard and sold to the captain right afore my eyes, and then went ashore, and wo was carried off out to sea, though I cried and 'splained and 'sposlulatcd all the limo. "Now. sir, come a strange providence, which the very thonght of it might convert a heathen! We had been to sea about five days when a dreaiiut storin riz. I tell you, master, that looked like the wrtlh of God! I hugged the baby to my breast and went to praying as hard as ever 1 could pray. "Presently I felt an awful shock, as if Heaven and earth had come together, and then everybody screaming, 'She's struck! Sle's struck!' I felt the vessel tremt ling like alive crcctur, and the water pouring in ev erywhere. .1 hugged the babe and scrambled up the companion way to the deck, It was pitch dark, and I heard every man rushing toward one sido of the wessel. "A flash of lightning, that mads everything as bright as day ' again, showed me that they were all Uking to the boat. I rushed after, calling to them to save . me and the baby. But no one seemed to hear tn ; they were all too busy trying to save themselves and keep others out of the boat, and cursing aod swoaring and hollering that thore was no more room that the boat would be swamped, snd so on. The end was, that all who could crowd Into the bust did so. 'And me and tbe baby and a poor sailor lad aud the black cook were led behind lo'pen.ili. "But. marster, as It turned out we as was left to die. we were the only ones saved. We watched after that boat with longing eyes, though we could only see it when the lightning flashed. And every time we saw it it was farther off. At last, marster. a flash of lightning showed us the boat as far off as ever we could see her. capsized and beaten hither and thither by the wild waves its crew had periahed. . "Marstor, as soon as the sea had swallowed up that wicked captain and crew, the wind died away,, the waves fell, and the storin lulle 1 just as if it bad done what it was sent to do and was satisfied. The wreck where we poor forlorn ones stood the rock that had shivered and trembled with every wave that struck it until we had feared it would break up every minute, became still and firm on its sandbar, as a house on dry land. "Daylight oami at last. And a little after sunrise we saw a sail bearing down upon us. We cou'd not signal the sail, but by the mercy ot Providence she saw us and lay to, and sent off a boat, and picked us up and took ns on board roe and the baby, and the cook and the sailor lad. "It was a foreign eesel, and we could not understand a word they said, nor they us.-All we could do was by signs. But they wero very good to us, dried our clothes and gave us breakfast, and made us lie down and rest. And then put about and continued their course. The sailor lad Herbert Greysnn soon found out and told me they were bound for New York. "And, in fact, marster, in about tea days we made that port. -Woll. marster, I aint a gwine to bother you with telling you of how 1 toiled and struggled along in that greatcity first living outa servant, and afterwrrds renting a room and taking in washing and ironing aye! how I toiled and struggled for ten long years, hoping for the time to come when I should be able to return to this neighborhood, where I was known.and expose the evil deeds of them willains, and for this cause I lived on toiling and struggling, and laying up money, penny by penny. "No one ever helped me but the lad Herbert Greyson. Whenever he came from sea, he sought me out, and made a lit. le present to me or Cap. "Cop, master, was Capitols, tho child. The reason I gave hor that name was because on tli at ring I had drawn from tbe masked moth er's hand were the two names Eugene Capitola. "Well, master, the last time Herbert Grey-son camo home, he gave me five dollars, and that, with what I had saved, was enough to pay my passage to Norft Ik. "I left my child Cap in tbe care of the people ot the house she was big enough to pay for her keep in work and I took passage to Norfolk. When I got there I fell ill.spent all my money, and was at last taken to the poorhouse. Six months passed away before I wasdischarged. and then six more before I had earned and saved money enough to pay my way on here. 'I reached here threo days ago, and found a wheat fluid growing where my cottage fire used to burn, and my old cronies dead, all except old Hat, who has received and given me shelter. Sir my story is done make what you can of i ," said the invalid, sinking down in her bed as if utterly exhausted. Old Hurricane whose countenance had expressed emotions as powerful as they were various while listening to this tale, nw arose, stepped cautiously to the door, drew the bolt, and coming back, bent his head and asked "What more of the child?" "Cap, sir? I have not heard a word of Cap since I loft her to try and bant out her friends. But any one interested in her might inquire for her at Mr J. Simmons,' laundress, No. 8 Rag AHey." "You say the names upon that ring were Eugene Capitola?" "Yes, sir, they ware." "Have you that ring about you?" "No, master. I thought It was best.in case of accidents, to leave it with tbe child." "Have you told her any pat of this strange history?" . "No master, nor hinted It; she was too young for such a confidence.' "You were right. Had she sny mark about her person by which the could bo identified?1 ' "Yes, master, a very strange one. In the middle of her left palm was the perfect imago of a crimson ban J, about half an inch in length. There was also another. Herbert Greyson, to please me, marked upon her (ore arm in India ink ber name and birthday "Capitola, Oct. 31st, 1832." , "Bight. Now tell me, my good soul, do you know,from what you were enabled to observe, what house that was whero Capitola was born?'' ' ' " "I am on my oath. No, sir, I do dot know but" "You suspect? " , , , The woman nodded. ' "It was ;'' said old Hurricane, stooping and whispering a name that was beard by no one but the sick woman. She nodded again, with a look of intense meaning. "Docs your old hostess here, Hat, know or suspect anything of this Btorj?" Inquired Ma jor Warfleld. "Not a word! No soul bat yourself has heard It? "That is right! Still be discreet! If you would have the wicked punished nr.d the innocent protocted be silent and wary.'- Have So far we have followed the lovely heroine and ber friends; but the foregoing Is all that no anxiety about the girl. What man can do fur her will I do and quickly! And nnw good . creature, day fa actually denning. Younviat seek repose. And I must call the parson in and return home. I will send Mrs Condiment over with food, wine, medicine, clothing, and every comfort that your condition requires," said Old Hurricane, rising, and calling in the clergyman, with whom he soon after le!t tbe hut for home. They reached Hurricane Hall In time for an early breakfast, which the astonished housekeeper had prepared, and for which their night's adventures had certainly given them a good appetite. , Major Warfleld kept hif word, and as soon as breakfast was over be dispatched Mrs Condiment with a carriage filled with provisions for the sick woman. But they were not needed. In a couple hours the housekeeper returned with the intelligence that the old nurse was dead. The false strength of mental excitement that had enabled her to tell so long and dreadful a tale, had been the last flaring up of the flame of life, that almost immediately went out. "I am not sorry, upon the whole, for now I shall have the game in my own hands!" muttered Old Hurricane to himself "Ab! Ga-brielle Le Noil! bettor you had cast yourself dewn from the highest rock of this range and been dashed to pieces below, than have thus fallen into my power." we can publish in our columns.

FA. lOrt, on the report of th Standing Committee on Temperance, in favor of submitting tort vote of the people, the following ameniimeiit to the Contti-tution; strike out of article 15th and section ISM of the Sclielule. the following words, no license to traffic in intoxicating liquors, shall be granted in this State, Mr, Sfeakkr: By the reading of the re-poit.it would be very reasonable to conclude, that tho recommendations of the committee were made with a view to promote the interests of the Temperance reform in the Slate of Ohio. And it is not for me to call in question the sincerity of their motives by any means; knowing as I do, that they are gentlemen of integrity and honor, and holding a position that places them under great responsibility to the people of the Slate. But I luust ask leave to differ very materially front their views on this question as sat forth in the re port tha: tbe provision in the Constitution above referred to "has signally failed to ao. oomplish the great end for which the people designed it. And. instead of puuirg a slop to the traffic in, and sale of the article, has only had the effect of taking the sale of intoxicating liquors out of the hands of responsible persons, under the care of proper judicial authorities, and placing tbe same in the hands of irresponsible persons, who neither fear God, regard man, or care for the welfare of community. And, furthermore, "that the tido of intemperance has ran higher and still higher, every year since the adoption of the new Constitution, with the no license clause in it," "nnd that they have no hesitancy in arriving at these conclusions from the facts before them." And yet strange as it may appear.tho committee having such tacts before them as they state, did not present them to this House, except that a few petitions were re ceived from certain localities, asking for something of the kind ss recommended by the committee. That petitions asking for the question of license or no license to be submitted to the people for their approval or disapproval, are facts that go to prove that the no license clsuse in tbe Corstituiion is a failure I very much doubt, hut looks very much as if they wanted to protect an acknowledged wrong by legal enactments. When the people of this State adopted the Constitution, with the no license clause in it, they wero certainly not so short-sighted as to supposo by sodoingthey would destroy the liquor traffic without prompt and efficient legislation on the subject, hence the Constitution provides that the legislature may pass laws to restrain the traffic in intoxicating liquors.'If the committee could have seen their way clear, and have reported that after the people had adopted the constitution with the no license provision in it, they did by scores and hundreds peCHion escb General Assembly of tbe State of Ohio, when in session, from that time until now for protection against the evils resulting from the liquor traffic, but have signally failed to get their requests properly granted, luch s report, sir, would have been in strict accordance with facts, whether such facts were before thetn so as to satisfy them or not. Shall a sovereign people, whose xpressed wishes and oft repeated requests have never been complied with on this suhjtct. be thus contemptuously insulted by General Assem bly coolly saying to thstn, that their efforts at reform in this dtrsciion.have signally failed. No. gentlemen, not sd. you may trifle with the rights and feelings of the people while at this respectable distance from them, Lut remem ber a day of retribution will come. But 1st us eiiuiine the remedy, as pro posed by the recommendation of the commit tee. They ssy, that in order to avert the evils arrising from the liquor traffic nnder the pros ent system, it must he so changed as to place it in the hands ofgord men, under the protce tion of law. instead of leaving it as they say i' now is. In the hands of bed men. Now let us tske a case, and see what improvement it would make in the business. Mr. A, who is sn irresponsible, had man. sells Mr. B, hi neighbor, say one half gallon of liquor; he tskes it hnrrs or to some other place off from the premises of the man who sold it to him. and they drink it, and have 'heir frolic all to themselves. But in obedience to the instruction of the stsnding committee on Temperance. the change la effected, and Mr. A must quit the business, because he is not able to get license, hut Mr. C is s man that "fears God snd loves his neighbor ss himself,'' goes to the County court, snd by the payment of a small sum of money obtains a license, or permit, to the very same thing that was productive of so much evil in the hands of the ungodly man, only that the "God fearing mm,'' however may soil by the dram, in addition, cr by way of improvement on the bnd man, And now Mr. B and his jolly companions csn get their half gallon by (he dram, and drink it at the counter of this Godly, laio-abiding liquor seller, and go boiue to the'r poverty-stricken, wretch-families, ten times more besotted and filthy than in the other case, differing however very materially in one particular. In the first instance, the liquor was bought undoubtedly for about twenty-five cents, whereas, in the second, it cost, perhaps, three or (our times that amount, showing conclu sively, that when it was purchased of the God-fearing and neighbor loving man, tolto to!4 it according to law, that it produced the very- same results that it did in the first instance, with the addition, however, of having robbed that suffering, neglected family, of a few cents more, that they should have had on which to subsist. The committee say, that "under the ne li cense system, the liquor traffic hss been taken out of the hands of persons, who neither fear God. nor regard the welfare of their neigh bors." This is undoubtedly a deplorable state of things that in this, the capital city, of the great State of Ohio, and In every other city, town and cross roads in ths land are to be found so many unprincipled and irresponsible men, dispensing liquid poison to their fellow men around them, and all without a legal per mit from the law-makers of the land. It is not surprising to hear men who love good order, inquiring what they shall Jo to put a stop to such a growing evil. But let us see whst reined) is proposed by the stendin committee on Temperance. It would certaic- ly not have been unreasonable to have expect ed that, from the fact tha' the committee are convinced that the evil if on the increase.they would have recommended a prohibitory law. which might be granted by this Legislature, and save all further tiouble on the subject; and would undoubtedly be a more certain means of cure, if that is what they wish. But, the committee say, why not submit the question to the people, and the will decide it to suit themselves. That may all be very true, and we should have no fears that they would reverse ihe present decision on that subject. But why agitate tho public mind, on a question so recently snd decisively settled by them, when there sre none, or comparatively none, who desire any such thing. The article of the Constitution refeired to. was as conclusively settled by the people as sny other part of it, why not then refer the whole instrument back to them and let them pass upon it again. The people by thousands petitioned the eon stilutinnal convention to place such au article in the constitution, yet they were so cautious as not to do it but simply provided that the people khould take the re ponhibility tliem selves. Thoy have done It. And, standing as it did, unincumbered by any other question they have drcidrd it to be their own act. And T here venture the statcment.thst there are not twenty names among those that were rent up here, asking this thing, that voted fur that ar tide to be placed in the eonsti utiun. There is a rule of this house I believe, Mr. Speaker ,that a peraon who moves the recuni-ideration of a question, must have voted wuh the preyailin (inrty, the auie rule might not apply very in appropriately in this cao.

There are certainly no arguments made in favor of this measure that seem to he addressed to so unworthy a motive as if the claim, that it will bring the State a revenue. But, let us look a little further at the recom mendations of the committee, and see first what change they propose. They say that, whereas, under the no license system.the liquor traffic has gone iuto the hands of bad men, and the evils of intemperance are on the increase; we therefore recommend that the . same traffic be placed in the bauds of good men, and that they bo protected in said business by law. Mr.. Speaker, I submit ths question cheerfully to the belter judgement of every roan upon this floor, as to the advantage to be gained over the increasing evil of inlt mpcrance, by adopting a change such as the one proposed.
