A loss is a loss, and a robbery is robbery, whether taken from the heap of the miser orihe smaller ol 1 he indigent.

SHEET IRON, HARDWARE, HAY CUTTERS, "Senor, senor, los Americanos—Americonos !" BY AN OLD LAWYER. " I leave to my daughter Dora, al! the satisfaction she can obtain from my hearty curse. When rags whip about her in her only home, the street, and dogs share *vith her the refuse of the gutter, she may regret that she disobeyed him who once toyed her, but who dying, cursed her." We give (says the dootor) the girl two years the start of the boy, to make her condition equal 10 his at the outset. Both have endured the torture of bandaging, pinning, and tight dress at birth ; both have been rocked, jounced upon the knee ; pa. pa'd, laudanum'd, parngorie'd, custr oil'd and suffocated with ablaket over the head, sweltered with a cap and feathers, roasted at a fire of anthracite, and poisoned with the foul air of an unventilated chamber, according to the universal formula ol some superannuated doctor or inexperienced nurse: probably both, for these people usually hunt in couples, and are very gra cious to each other. We give the girl enough start to make up for the benefit the boy has derived from 6hasing the cat, and an occasional tumble in the yard, and th» toiiureshc has end red from her sampler, and being compelled to "sit up straight," and not be a "liovden." Looking from my window, I saw a fine potlly gentleman attending to his luggage, and answering the demands of the thousand and one porters who each claimed to have brought something for him. Think, ing I might bo ol service to him, I went out and with two or three dimes dismissed the villains, who, knowing me for an old stager, submitted to my orders. The gentleman turned to thank me, but suddenly started back, then glancing at iny temple, and seeing my candlestick mark peeping out from under my snmbrero, he caugnt me by the hand, exclaiming— CISTERN, AND WELL POMPS, CAIll'ESTRRS?

Your kind letter Henry, came duly to IibrH ; and you will be surprised to learn that a careless question of yours will draw foith enough to cover a sheet : -'What caused that scar on my temple ?" It is a professional scar, Harry ; one that 1 have carried ever since my earliest practice; and although I.liave now arat tolerable old age. and have many intimate friends, it is a most singular fact that you are the first and only person that inquired into its origin.

I could nol, however, divesi myself of a certain Tet ling that all was not right. A rich old man, accompanied by an olJ housekeeper, and dying in a strange city ; her anxiety to have the will so strong ; the curse of his daughter, and the large fee, all conspired to make me feel that I was instrumental in the accomplishment ol some villainous object. Again 1 meditated the destruction of the poper, and again the lee and my wants conquered. The will was finished, and I read it over aloud, the old man groaning, and the woman looking an -occasional nssent; but when I read the terrible curse, a new actor appeared on the scene. Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria, is twenty.three years of age, and has succeeded in raising small moustaches for his handsome face, and a small loan for his exhausted treasury. He has a high, broad forehead, a good form, about five" feet ten inches in height, and is an expert and an excellent horseman. He exhibits no extraordinary administrative capacity, and will probably add little to the reputation of the house of Hapsburg. Ho fell in love with a young lady last fall, "at first sight,"' and was rtcentlv married to her. His government is almost bankrupt in pecuniary lesources ; his people are discontented ;■ and his empire is exposed to desperate peril between the contending interests and naC lions now at war on the continent of Europe. He is greatly indebted to the Czar, and would join him in the partition of Turkey, but for his dread of the vengeance of the Western Powers, and the opposition of his own people. His position ts perilous turn which way he will, and neutrality is almost impossible. ♦s -H3 *—• "3 £ *1 ■■ II. S. KOON, Attorncy-at-Law. JOB PRINTING Office with James Helm, Esq., PITTSTON, PA.

O God ! you know not who! you do I" You may well believe our re-union was most pleasant ; ai»d after dinner was over, and we were out enjoying I ho sen breeze, the whole story was told me. 1 will not give the details ot it—it was long, but the main features of it were about what 1 had sunn.sed. Dora was the only child ot her wealthy father ; her mother died while she was a mere child ; old Angeline had remained with her father it: the capacity of housekeeper, and while Dora was awav at school, had obtained, as is generally the case, complete influence otcr him. Dora wn; wooed and won by a poor clerk ; her father would not listen to it, and an elope ment was the cotiscquence ; the old man, in his rage, broke up housekeeping, and taking old Angeline with him, s'arted tor the south. Dora followed hiin wiih her husband, although she knew he would no', see her, and although he had been harsh and unkind to her, she knew he was in the last stages of consumption, and she determined, if possible, to be with him when he died. At the time of his death thrv had been following him about from place to place for a month, keeping concealed Irom iiim, and eluding even the keen eyes ol Angeline. When Dora appeared in the room, it was only because the man servani who had been with her father, and who, ai 1 observed, left the room when I entered, had observed their arrival, and kindlj gone and informed her that her lather co'c not live an hour. She was entering the room for the purpose of making a last ef fort «t reconciliation, when the sound o mv voice reading the fearful words of till will, caused the outcry and denouement ller husband, who followed Iipt into tin room, found the old man dead, Dora in i swoon, me insensible, and Angeline try in; in vain to put together the many pieces o the will, and raving likj a bedlamite.

He is rather small in stature, with a sallow, sad and mild expression of countenance, lie is in favor of reforms in his empire, is just and merciful in his rule, and delights more ir, superintending his school* and public improvements than in marshaling his armies and navies for battle ; but, forced into war for the existence of his empire, as he is, he will doubtless maintain the reputation of his gallant and .warlike race. Thus far, in his difficulties with the Czar, he has shown a moral courage, a firmness, a moderation, and an energy in preparing for war, that has enlisted on his side the sympathies of nearly all civilized nations. He has no wife. Sultans do not marry. He is evidently a sincere and zealous Mahometan, though he has slipu. lated with the Western powers that he will place the Greek and Christian population of his empire on the same footing as to civil rights as the Turks.
