In the cornea of an hour it began to rain, and cominued to rain all the rest ofthe day. so that the un- named personage, who remained in the Woods, got scarcely any rest, and suffered not a little from the cold and wet, to which he Wes not used. His comeradesjefi him and went to chopping in different places, but did not go beyond call. JUst about nightfall. as our little party stood collected together, hold- ing council as to where the night should be passed, a female voice was heard calling Richard. ‘ It's mbther, as I live 1’ said one 01 the party, and adding a few words of caution, he darted away: ‘Hush !’ cried the c3ownish fel- low, with an angry gesture, ‘why do you so (men forget yourself? Should It occur again‘ you and I must part company. We have no majesties here. you knowâ€"we are only depmed by a banzl of rebel (tut-throats to go and look for one.’ In a few minutes he returned, ae- companied by his mother and sister who were also the mother and sis- ter of all save one, for {our of the party were brothers. Two females had brought a basket full of provi- sions, arid acouple of bottles of wine, which were very aeeeptable to men who were cold, wetand half lamished. These were pre- sented lo the young clownish-look- ing fellow first, the mother and daughter sinking down on their knees before him, and the former lerve‘mly thanking God that it had been in the power of herself and sdns to assist him in his hour of need. They immediately turned OH" in- to the Woods, and kept on till they came to a wild, solitary spot, wheru the trees and bushes grew very thick. when the clownish fellow, threw himself down on the ground, saying he was to tired too go any further. At this one of the others took a blanket that had been care- lessly resting on his shoulders, and spread it out for him to lay on, with the remark : ‘ The ground is damp, your maj- esly ’ ‘But you mus‘nt remain here another hour" was her warning advice; ‘for by dayâ€"light Ioâ€"morâ€" row morning the soldiers are go‘ng to search these \voods.’ ‘Come, my jolly comrades, let us go and hum up the royal l‘ugi» tlvc l’ Saying 1his, he spurred his horse and rode off with his troop. The woodchoppera stood and looked after the retreating dragoons till they were out of sight ;: and 1hen :he Voung man, who had been de- scribed as the Clownish looking ful- low, burst out into a broad, hearty laugh, saying: ‘You must know,’ pursued lhe officer, ‘that the late king’s 5011, who commanded the royalisrs on that (121}, has succeeded in making his escape, and a reward of a thou; sand pounds is offered for his per- son, dead or alive. So, my good men. keep sharp eyes. and who knows but even you may be des- tined to make your fortunes! for whoever captures him will receive, besides the golden reward, great honors and glory.’ ‘ Your honor’l] follow this road to the forks and turn to the rigllt.’ ‘ You’re right there, my manâ€"i1 don’t indeed!’ grinned , the officer. ‘England has had enough of kings; and having cut of the head of the father, she’s ready to do as much for the son.

Alter this, his dress_wa‘s chang- ed to a plain gray, and he travelled for several wet‘ks with a lady as her servant, across athieklyisettled por- tion of the country, and often Came in contact with the soldiers who where hunting for his person. He subsequently met with quiet a number of hairbreadth escapes, and was recognised by several individ- uals, in both high and low lile, not one of whom was_ base enough to betray him for the large reward and great honors they would have received forntheir perfidy. ‘I believe he in lhi~ wood yet; and it we can find him, we'll be certain to make our fortunes, and see the prvttlest piece at behead- ins,Ir that‘s been done in England since his father made his bloody bow to the peoplex’ The morning following, the fugi- tive being left alone in the thickest part of the wood. his fiiend and guide having gone to procure some food. and ascertain if there was any immediate danger, he began walking to and fro, in a restless, impatient manner, a voice addres- ed him from above. Looking up, he sayv the {ace of a man among the thick, clustering leaves of a giant oak.

It was well he did Sciâ€"for a small body of Soldies came past that very spot, and the officer com- manding said, within his hearmg: The man gave his name as a royalist captain. and, slipping to Ihe ground, persuaded him to hide in the tree with him. Accompanied by his faithful guide, the hunted fugitive spent the remainder of that night and all the nexfday under some hay in the clergyman's burn, the latter providing them with a sufficech of food. The next night he advis- ed them to depart for some othEr localityi as he had reason to believe that another search of his dwelling and outbuildings was about to he made. Not knowing better were to go they returend lo the same road they had quilted the night be- fore. ‘ Who are you ?' he} quickly de- manded, fearing that all was lost. ‘f believc,’ said the fugitive, of- fering his hand, which the clergy- man respectfully pressed to his lips ‘ And now, my friend. as you can’t recommend any place in your liouse for my weary head, what do you say to your bam? for, by my faith. I must sleep somewhere soon in spite of old N011 and his rebel crew !’ ‘ The barn be it, then, (said jthe other. cfiickly ; ‘ there many worse places. and I am too moch fatlgued to be fastidious.’ ‘ Would to Heaven, my liege, I had a better place to ofler you in security I’ returned the clergyman. ‘There is no safety here,’ he said ‘ for two regiments are slationed in the village, small‘bodies are out in every direction, every boat on the Severn has been seized, a guard put on every bridge. and once al- ready has my poor dwelling been searched for you. If my life and all I possess could serve and save my prince and king, my love and devotion would give him all.’ On being called from his bed and informed who 'Jls pr’lt‘lclple vis- itor w‘as, Mr. Wolfubecamc vet) much alarmed on hié account. AN AMERICAN Kennaâ€"See you that bland. elerieally-dresscd, and pious-lookingé personage, walking through crowds of Stockbrokers and bankers on Wall street. with steathy tread and pre-engaged air, as one following some thread invisible to others 5’ That is Pokcweed. Who is Pokeweedl The genius oijobbery; the power behind tlte American throne. His seeptre is a railroad, the lrishmen who work on it are his myrmidons, and every preeient in the Empire State . feels his dower. His throne is not the gubernatorial seat nor that of a cabinet minister; it is the editorial chair ofa newspaper. There has never been a railway bill passed in the State but he was the largest shareholder in it; there was never a piece of legislature bribery but he knows all about it. and is so re- lated to it, that if it succeeds he will reap the Chief advantage, and if it fails can expose those who were parties to it, and seem him- selfto be immaculate. The pri- vate life ot‘eVery politician in New York State is summed up and label- led in his pigeonâ€"hoes. He can blast the fair names of a hundred leading men to-morrow. Does any one dare to thwart his will? He will find by the next day’s Albany Evening Smearer that an unsleep- ing eye has been upon his do'wn- sitting and his upâ€"rising, and that whether innocent or guiltv, he must submit to being soiled by insinua- tion. You appeal to Pokeweed in vainâ€"die is not a man. but a being created by and for a system. He has only a kind ofad hoc existence. When the railways declare high. dividends, and elect candidates who will transfer public monies to the pockets ol the directors. PORC- weed is in rank health; if a gov- ernor turned out exceedingly hon< est, or a lobby scheme fails. he is thin; and if he ever dies, which is doubtful, a postmortem examina- tion will find a roll of railway cer- tificates where must men have hearts, and a pulp of bankâ€"notes for brains. He holds no otiiee, and yet every oflicial dreads and rules with referenee to hint. Pokeweei did not like some things in the ad- ministration ol' Mr. Lincoln un- friendly to slavery, and remom- strated; but Mr. Lincoln declined to bowto the dictates of the New- York railway king. Whereupon the latter, to give the president an idea of his power, carries New York against his party and elects the democratic candidate for gover- nor. After this, when the Presi‘ dential election is coming,r on, Poke- weed sends Mr. Lincoln his terms: â€"-‘ A is to be surveyor of the port of New York, B is to be this. 0 is to be that; D, E, and F are to be removed. The President is assur- ed that this is Mr .Pokeweed’s ulti- matum.’ The President knows that New York may have the cast- ing vote for President and yields. And the people fondly believe that they are ruled from Washington. In national aflairs Pokeweetl rules by prOxy. He has his political partner in the Cabinet, and against that Minister’s retention New Eng- land and the \Veszt have for the last five years protested in valn.

TNTUITIVE PERCEPTION or went“. â€"--In a comersation I once held With an eminent minister of our e'hurch (says Dr. Boardnnm), he made this fine 0b- sorvation :v~‘ We will say nothing of the manner in which the fair sex eon- duet an argument, but the’ iiithitive judgements of women are often more to be relied upon than the conclusions Which we reach by an elaborate course of rea- soning.’ No man who hat“ an intelligent wife, or is accustomed to the society of educated women will dispute this.

How She got there, how‘ ever, is of little moment. If the conclu- sions a Woman has reached are sound, that is all that concerns us. And that they are very apt to be sound on the practical matters of domestic and secular life, nothing but prejudice or self-conceit can prevent us from acknowledging. The inference, therefore7 is unavoidable that the man who thinks it beneath his dignity to take Counsel of an intelligent wife stands in 1115 onn light». and betrays that lack of judgement which he tacitly attributes to her“ A RAM; PATRIMONY.-â€"=A young man of Nuremberg {says the jdu r- naloflhatnity), who had nq for- tune. requested a lawyer, a friend of his, to recommend him to a lamin where he was a daily visi- tor, and where there was a hand- some daughter; who was to haVe a large fortune. The lawyer agreed ; but the father ol the young lady, who loved money, immediately asked what properly the young man had. The lawyer said he did Not exactly lmow but he Would inâ€", quire.
