That proud man looked on his son for n, moment irresolute; hut his love Was ft nager than his pride. The destroying iti that letter he had ever regarded as but removing a dangerous plaything from his ehild: hut this outraging the feelings of a man was crime: and at last he had come to see it as'sueh. and bowed hii head for an instant upon hit hands. Thu Son rose to go. "Come back. Morton," lie said. "Did I ever wrong you as a child?” “Never!" he replied in tones of sur prise. “Then I will not longer as a man. I thought I was doing right 1 bought I w as taking a stepto cventwdly enhance your happiness; and if I erred, as I fear 1 did, it was from ipy jealous care for you. 1 did not tlduk you would suffer much, or for long.

I w ill write—no, I will go!” And the next train of ears that went whirring through among the mountains, westward, numbered Morton W hiteomb among its passengers. Heliire leaving, tin' father hail placed a sealed note in his hands, addressed to Miss Elii/V Merrynian; and with the words: “You will not have to humble yourself to accuse your lather, the note explains all." Miss Merrynian had not taken her place in school siuce the death of lier mother, and was that day w andering listless and sad alsjut the beautiful grounds surround ing her uncle's residence. She had succeed al in all things beyond her most sanguine expectations. As a teacher shu was unrivalled; and she had a host of warm friends, and was treated as a bcluvuu tutujjbtvi'm nor unt ie js iiou>l that irtv boasted a second mistress. In fact, had a Jwue all she had said so (irmly, “j will rise—1 will siiccia-d. nndllie lnLurc must take care of itself!" in that little brown house, ou that long ago spring morning. lint was she happy? Her dear mother was asleep under 'lie sod, yet green; and hidden away in tin* secret chamber of memory was that early love that had promised so much and given so little. She stooped to gather a flower, and as she turned,'ua rising, .Morton Whitcomb stood before her. “Why had lie come, if he could not ex plain his unaccountable silence thought she asking what she most w ished to de leave. “Will yon come in she said, her eyes dropping before his earnest gaze. “Not now, Lucy: sit with me in this garden chair for a little while, please. 1 have much to say to you, and would »av it here.’’ lie spukt* 111 his old loving tones, and she suffered Lim to retain her hand and lead her to the seat. “I have a letter for you, Lucy,” and b j luimled her the note. “At l;ist! she said. raisingher eyes to his. “Spare me he replied, "until you have read it And she didread all the humiliating con fession of the proud man, who had hum bled himself front love to bis sou. “How dared he tamper with my letter!" sin said, her checks burning and her eyes dashing with indignation. lie is my lather, Lucy!" “Yes, anil as your father I forgive him." “Thank you and drawing her closer to him. la said, "One more boon; may he lm yours iu name? Will you be my w ife, Lucy, and be as you have ever been to me the dearest object on earth?” The angry spot faded from her cheeks, and the love-light eaiue softly to lu r eyes, as she answered gently: “I w ill be your wife, Morton and, oh, love me always, for there are but lew to do so now'!" Six weeks later Lucy returned a bride to the home yi her childhood. Xo one but themselves and the regretful lather knew of their long estrangement. The ten thousand dollars in her own right was a nine days' wonder to the gossips, but to no one w as it more of a surprise than to her husband and Judge Whitcomb. “And so my consummate folly came near cheating you out of a fortune as well as a wife!" he said to his son, when in formed of the lint. “Well, old heads are poor caterers for young hearts."

The democracy of New Hampshire in their State Convention, the otiier day, adopted a resolve, which shows how they intend to keep faith with the public- credi tors.

The Examiner of Banks and Insurance Companies has divided his annual report into three parts.. The first division is in relation to banks of discount. These are. nearly extinct: only five now exist and do Business under State charters, am} their hnrters expire on the first day of October next. The affairs of the Ameri can Bank at Hallowed will soon be closed it is thought. The amount of cash assets on hand is SlMoldM; the amount of claims proved and allowed is Bi,71 4.26. The circulation of the State banks now outstanding is 102,262. The Examiner is of opinion that the old bank system had better die and never be revived the na tional banking system 1s safer and better. He would have the old bank law uncon ditionally repealed. At the same time he would favor a tVee Banking system, hav ing all the powers of banks except to issue bills as money'. It might supply a want which national banks fail to supply, to meet which many savings b..nks have I very improperly been established. The second division, in relation to sav ings banks, commences with a brief his tory of these institutions. Their begin 11 ins- was very small. The first one in this State was opened in IS I’d, at Portland, and dosed in is;!s by failure. The suc cess of the ststem has been beyond pre cedent. Nine new savings banks have been started in our State the last year, making the whole number in the State thirty-seven. The gross amount of de posits is $10,H:l9,9.Vi.2G, the number of depositors ;;'d..‘i-'7. The increase of de posits the last year has been nearly three million*dollars, the last two years more than five millions. No losses have oe curred (luring the last two years, lhe amount of deposits in the savings banks is larger than the entire capital of all tlie National and State banks in the State by 1 The’new law operates well but needs some slight umendineuts. Some dissatisfaction is expressed with reference to the provision excluding loans on the security of names alone, but the Examiner thinks the provision is a good one. and necessary for the security of the institution. He argues at some length against the taxation of deposits, but thinks property bought for iuvestinent by banks should be taxed. Taxation of de Ixi-'its would dissipate ^Jie fund he thinks, and as it is mostly made up of small sums from poor people and funds in trust he would not tax it. Complete tables sliow ■ing the condition of the banks are an nexed. The third division takes up the subject of Insurance. At the commencement of the year there were forty-two companies in the State doing business under State charters: one mutual life, two stock marine, two mutual marine, one stock lire marine, and thirty-six mutual fire, of which twenty were town companies and sixteen general. During the year the Eastern Insurance Company at Bangor has commenced business, tbe General Mutual at Hallowed, and Maine Mutual at Gorham have retired and discontinued business. There are sixty-seven Fire and Fire Marine Companies doing business in Maine, of which very full statistics of their 1 operations are given in the report, show ing that Maine is a good field for them, the losses in proportion to risks being much less than in several States compared. The Examiner proposes a change in the laws ill relation to insurance, which he says are very defective. His plan is not stated fully, but it is intended to guard against deception by unauthorized agents and irresponsible companies. It is the same a.- suggested in his report lust year, looking to the establishment of a sjieeial department. The taxation of foreign com panies doing business in the State is ad vocated. The Examiner says they are not charitable but money making institutions, and ought to be tax'cd as much as rail roading and telegraphing. They cannot claim exemption on account of any par ticular hazard, for their profits are as cer tain as those of the common earner or banker. No other business shows such accumulation ol'capital, pays more liberal salaries, made* better dividends, or has so large a margin of profits and income to advertise its merits to the public con fidence. lie therefore, thinks there is n-> justice in exempting them from taxation and says they are already taxed in most of the leading States. He therefore ru commands that a tax of two per cent, on all premiums received in Maine by com panies of other States and countries be required to lie paid into our Slate Trea sury. From this lie thinks a handsome revenue would bo obtained. In some states retaliatory laws exist, but they would have no influence upon us as we have but one company that does business in other States. The principle of non forfeiture of life jjolicies is being adopted so generally by voluntary action of com panies that no action by the Slate in re lation to it is considered necessary. Some facte are given to dispel tlie idea that it is necessary for life companies to have a fund sufficient to cover all risks in order to be safe. Full tables of the hanks and insurance coinpanic's are prepared, and make a part of tlie report. The recommendation* of tlie Examiner are very important and will demand close examination. 1 w'o young Indies of Kingston—in the pri vacy ol' their room, ol course—were playing circus the other day. putting their feet over their heads, and making hoops of themselves. >ue of them succeeded to a charm in perform ing tlic feat; hut the other fair one lucked the necessary suppleness of limh, and though sla very nearly approached success, she still fell slinrt of it At last, in a tremendous effort to get one obstinate foot ic '.ts required position o\ w her huati, snap w ent the hip joint, uml her loot went over easily enough, stay ing there until surgical uid reduced their disloca tion. GENERAL NEWS. SUrcr is slowly getting into circulation in i the Western cities. General Anderson of Sumter notoriety, has a daughter who is the belle of Paris. tine thousand loaves of bread and fifty tons of coal were distributed to the poor of Phila delphia on New Year's day. The HussTan Government is talking of building a railroad through Siberia to China. Its length in Asia will be 1,000 miles. A New Yorker is building a barn at Charles town. N. 11.. which will cost between six and seven thousand dollars. The floors are of Georgia pine and the trimmings black wal nut. The CnUkiTl Tlccordcr denies the report that a woman was detected in trying to smug gle a bale of Imps across the river at Niagara in her waterfall. A family in Bridgeport was recently poi soned by drinking tea in which a child had put pieces of tanned squirrel and muskrat skins. Knur business firms in Ottawa, Iowa, ad vertise to pay their customers silver in change provided the amount does not exceed fifty cents and the purchase is over one dollar. One of Connecticut’s peculiar industries is the manufacture along the Connecticut river, of menhaden oil, which is used chiefly to adulterate other oils, and as an imitation of the medicinal cod liver oil. A son of Lopez, the President of Paraguay, is in Washington and making a favorable im pression. Horatio Seymour says cheese-making, in respect to pluns and etfurts tu cheapen cost and improve the quality, is far ahead of any other firming pursuit in this country. A good real estate speculation is noticed Tn the Ohio paper*. A man who bought land in Perry county, in that State, a few years ago, for 8300, recently sold one-half of it for 830.000. A BRAVE BOY REWARDED. The Kockland Free Press has the follow ing sequel to the story of the brave boy who saved a vessel from shipwreck in that harbor Our readers will remember the circumstance of the schooner Commonwealth of this city be ing saved from going on the rock- at midnight in a violent storm and gale in December, by a boy named Lewis Bttekmanof South Thom aston. A brief statement of the facts was published in the Free Press at the time. The following letter received at this office last last Saturday, (new year’s) morning, explains itself: Offkf of Boarii of Waltfr Com'rs. St. Louis, Dec. 27. 1S00. To Editor Kockland (Me.) Free Press Sir :—1 enclose you paragraph from your paper copied in the St. Louis City Kepublican of .he 27th inst. I wish to reward the “Brave Poy,” as described in paragraph I therefore enclose to bin, (through you.) a check for 820 —good, you may rest assured. Collect and hat"' it over to this "Brave Boy." 1 am an old seaman, and appreciate the perils encoun tered bv him. Yours, Guo. K. Brniv. We were fortunate enough to get an op portunity to pass the check mentioned over to the Buckman boy on Saturday, so that the gift came to him on new year’s day. and with which he was much pleased. He is an ordinary sized lad for his age, which is a little less than sixteen years, and evidently is accustomed to the sea. lie says he could have got ashore during the day of the storm, hut feared lie should not bo able to get back to the vessel again, so he remained by her. He expected a rough night, gave the vessel the full scope of her chains to make her ride easy, and otherwise prepared for the worst. He re mained on deck. At midnight the cables parted. The vessel drifted rapidly before the gale toward the ledge shore at Owls Heud. a.id be knew that in all probability if she con tinued ill that direction she would be dashed to pieces and he be lost with her. HU first act was to lash the wheel to steer her for the western shore of the bay, and then perilous as was the task, lie climbed out on the bow sprit to loose the jib. The vessel tossed fear fully. it was severely cold and the “stops” were frozen. He soon loosened four of them —the fifth gave him much trouble—he finally cleared it. however. He then succeeded in raising the jib. and in a short time the vessel ran to tile smooth beach near the brick yard. It w as after she struck the beach that the boy was washed overboard by the sea. He fortu nately caught his arm through the main rig ging near the rail, and saved himself. What this hoy of sixteen did that night was a feat worthy of a full grown man and an ex perienced seaman. AFFECTING SCENE. The appearance of the mother and sis ters at the Morgue in New York, to see the body of the girl Annie McNamara, who was murdered by her paramour at a house of ill fame, gave rise to an ntfeeting scene, described as follows Into this room, w ith its atmospherel oeatn. where the coffins lay, piled like logs of wood in regular order, just before the Coroner had arrived, came the mother and three sisters of the dead woman. The mother—she who had nursed the dear dead one when a little prat tling child, she who had brought her up in the knowledge of tlie right, and who had rejoiced to know that her teachings had not been wast ed upon her child until that fatal night when tlie intelligence of the terrible death in an in famous house came to her, with ail the crush ing force of a hope lost forever—staggered into the abode of tlie dead, dinging the while to the arm of a young daughter who tried in vain to quiet the1 heart that gave vent to its anguish in sobs that made tlie most hardened present feel as they had probably never felt before. Slowly she dragged herself into tlie room, and guided by the girl at her side on whose shoulders her head leaned heavily, she made her way to the coffin in which the corpse of her daughter lay shrouded. She did not lift bur head, but as her hand touched the oofs jin, she shrank back witli an involuntary shudder, and a io»v moan, full of agony, es caped the tightly dosed lips, and the hand fell helplessly at her tide. A few words of en eouiageiuent from the young woman on whom she leaned, and the hand was again lifted to tlpeig.ffin. and the mother raised her head to look upon the face of her lost one. Her eyes stan d wildly and saw not, for the outstretched hand wandered about tlie coffin top for a long time before it touched the pale, upturned face which it sought; hut when it did once come in contact witli the ice-cold forehead, and toy ed inn mechanical sort ot way with the strag gling locks of liuir that hung down on both sides of the {gee of the dead, the heart, bowed down witli its awful weight of woe, gave veht to its feelings, ithd the mother, in the fulness of hvr sorrow, sobbed aloud and called again aitd again upon the one who heard not. “Art I nie, oil, Annie, speak to me!" she cried; “if you epuhl oply tell tjie all and the only, rc spotsae was the echo oi flu questioning voico ami the splash of tlie waves that broke upon tlie stone troniing beside the Morgue. Again and again was tlio name of the dead one call ed and again did the same response conic hack and at last, in the midst of her great glict, tile pour mother was jed from the side of the coffin and taken to an adjoining loom, where she fell Into a deathlike swoon. LETTER ERO.V VIRGINIA. West Poixt, King William Co., Va. 1st month, 2nd, 1870. To the Editor of the Kennebec Journal: We are having a copious rain here thiamom irt*. lattelv have been passingthrough York and .Tamos City counties, looking after the school interest ou the IVuiqaula. and I was never in a place whore 1 was made so fully to realize that the “World is a barber-shop and every body is shaving.” The charges were exorbitant and conveyance poor at that. The hotel hills were larger and more comfortable to take, than tlieir bills of fare. I notified the landlord of my wish to take the steamer this morning at G o’clock, and was assured that I would be called in ample time; no call was received, but I was up in time, and then was informed by the bootblack that it did hot stop at Yorktown, and this was the first trip since the change, ample notice having been given that passengers must cross and take the boat j at Gloucester Point just opposite. This was a scheme to keep me spell-hound there two days; t but it did not work on a Yankee. 1 rushed up some negroes who seemed slower than death, I and pushed off in a small boat, and by strong signals indued the steamer to stop in the, channel to take me on; and here I am. The storm has ceased and 1 am off iu private sail boat, to King and Queen county, where an ap pointment has been made to meet the people at Tolliver Church this P. M. It is warm ami pleasant, and I noticed the people plow ing yesterday as I rode from Williamsburg to Vorktown. Many of the people hold in affec tionate remembrance, our frieiul James Yau Plarrom of Chius, whose last labors in this life were spent here, ail uniting iff the opinion that he did much good. There is yet a large redundancy of colored people on the Peninsula, and positive necessity alone will scatter them, und to my mind it is justice lo let it come to compel these poor creatures to do as they ought to do—go where they can bo useful and earn a good living. If you have a snow storm to spare please send it down here for it would be refreshing to us to have just one. It is said tiie longevity of the people here is greater than in New England, nnd I judge the rbason of it is they more so slow it takes them longer to get through the world. A live Yankee often gets out of patience with their slow movements and apparent indifference whether they move at all. I believe in every I one's having their due, nnd the white people of this Style get theirs when I call them a lazy, mean,-contemptible set. and not fit asso ciates for any one except inebriates, gamblers and libertines of the land;—this will admit of honorable exceptions, but will bold good as a rule. Human Slavery, “tt,e stun of all vil lanies,” has done its work of devastation and ruin upon the land and hearts of the people of, the South, and time alone will fully recon struct it to prosperity and happiness. I saw at Vorktown the old warehouse used at one time by the greatest importers of goods in America. New York and Pliilailelpbia mer chants purchased their supplies at Yorktown, or Uld York, (as it was then called,> New York took its name from the fact that it had become as celebrated as old York. Presi dent Elwell informed me that it was clear, had it not been for slavery Yorktown at this day would have been the metropolis of the country. I am convinced that the land in this region ts susceptible of great improvement, but it will be a long time before the dogs will get out of the manger ami allow improvements to be nutde. l he scenery nnu topography of the country on either side of Jjie York river are delight ful and the climate very desirable, and in time will invite immigration from all parts of the world. Lands are selling at about §10 per acre, but the trouble is to obtain a safe title, everything of this kind is so in the dark; the records having been burned during the war and property falling to heirs by sudden changes the war made. Before closing, as a high wind prevents my contemplated trip to day, I must give you an account of my visit to the J.unatie Asylum at Williamsburg. It was built in 1701), or at least the first building, and here weretheiron grates through which the patients bad their food given them, and the straight jackets in which they were confined, under the old method of treatment. They are not in use at all now, the Superintendent, T)r. Brown, be ing a very humane man, uses the law of kind ness to its fullest extent, and all appeared hap py and comfortable as could be with their de lusions upon them. There are 200 patients, the number being larger tliun ever before, owing to loss of friends and property incident to the late war. The buildings arc very fine and all is in apple-pie order. From the top of the tower, the noble James on one hand is clearly seen, and the majestic York on the other. The sight was really delightful. Fart ing from my kind,friend l)r- Brow n, I was hu-> pressed that one Northern man was in his right place, and that this Asylum w as second to none in my knowledge, 1 repaired to our coach or cart (,','Keat,”), to leave, and just aa wo were leaving tho place we met n hind of hunters with eight deers on thf'ir shoulder as the reward of their day’s labor. J^cer being pleifiyjhere it is found to be fine sport fo hunt them. In kindness to you Twill close. With respect, S. H. Jones. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune, tmys the President and Secretary of the Treasury have devill ed not to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Judge Richardson, As sistant Secretary of the Treasury, for sev eral mouths, in the hope that Congress will take some action to incroase tin; pay of the office, to make it at least equal to the Judgeship office, whieh Mr. Richard son now holds in Massachusetts.
