[From “All The Y» Ar Koun<l.”J MINNIE'S DOWRY Tcostirced from yesterday For a moment I thought that the sigh ing of the wind, or the scream ot a bird of pi t y, perched on the cliffs above, had de ceived my sleeping ear, but no It was a woman's voice, calling on "Frank— Frank.’’ and I hastily started up, and opening tile door of the lint, beheld in the silvery moonlight the outlines of a female form. Hurrying up, I saw with infinite surprise that it was Minnie hersell who stood belore me. She looked strangely pale, but very beautiful; her dark hair, no doubt loosened in the rough and rapid ride, hung loose about her shoulders, and her manner was singularly earnest and excited for one usually so gentle and meek. "This is no time for sleep!” she said, eagerly; "Up, up, and be doing, before the precious hours are gone. Take what you need for digging, and come with me, my own 1 have ridden fast and far to guide where it awaits you.” “What, Minnie?” 1 asked, much per plexed by her words and manner. "Gold she replied, with a quivering emphasis. "Much gold! your fortune', love and my dowry. I will be your guide.” "You, darling,” I answered, trying to take her hand; "You are ill, I tear, or in distress, and-” She interrupted me at once, shrinking back at the same time, so as to avoid my touch. "Frank,” she said, with passionate, pleading earnestness; "let me have my way in this. You’ll never repent it, be lieve me. Do Minnie Fairlop’s bidding, without remonstrance, without question, for this once. Come, come, why are you so sluggish?” Fuzzled by Minnie's vehement energy of address, so utterly new to me, I thought it best to humor her. and accord ingly fetched from my hut the pick, shovel, crowbar, and lighted lantern, say ing with a smile, that 1 was now ready, like'a tiue knight, to obey my lady's be hest. At the same time 1 looked around, wouderingly, lor her horse. I remem bered, however, that she might probably have secured the bridle to a tree in the thicket within easy ride shot, and made up my mind not to vex her by idle queries. With a wave of her while hand she signed to me to follow, and set forth, at a rapid pace, towaids the frowning gorge ot the Sasquewash torrent, thread ing her wav without hesitation among boulders and tangled brushwood, until, in a narrow and gloomy ravine, she hailed belore a black stone that liore some fanci ful regemblaitce to a pulpit. "Here dig here she said eagerly "work, Frank, as you never worked be fore. You stand upon gold.” She gave no reason lor this bold asser tion, but there is something contagious in strong and genuine conviction, and in this instance I surrendered myself completely to the impulse of the moment, and clear ing away with my shovel the black allu vial soil, struck lustily with my pick-axe into the rocky stratum beneath So far as 1 could disinguisb by the dim light of the lantern beside me, the minerals which tny piek disturbed were precisely such as 1 Imd met with in twenty excavations ea gerly commenced and abandoned in dis gust. Yes, therti was the curved gneiss, the brittle hornblende, the fallacious sparkle of yellow mica, the black basalt, the water-worn gravel, varied bv thin streaks of milky quartz or of dark' ferru ginous sand. What could have caused Minnie s visit, her fancy respecting the richness of this particular spot and the singular alteration in her manner So far as I knew she had never before en tered the ravine whither she had guided me, while of gold digging she was neces sarily ignorant. Was iter mind affected by the mental strain which she Imd for some time endured, or 11a What was that The sharp point ot tny pick bad pierced, with a dull thud, into something suiter than rock, softer even than the hardened clay that gave up so much trouble in cleaving through the bed many a dried-up stream, and in free ing the tool 1 encountered a slight but per ceptible resistance. 1 held up, within the radius of the light that streamed from the lantern, the end of the piek, and lo I a (lake of something yellow and bright was stickiug to the polished metal. Another blow, and another, and I had transfixed, and was dragging to the surtace a weighty, wedged-shaped, glittering mass with threads of gidd and small cubes of crystalline quartz clinging to it. Gold! gold 1 fell on my knees, and in a sort of amazement, lifted the huge nuggett in my outspread hands.—It was heavy, from twenty to thirty pounds weight, as 1 guessed such a lump ot the virgin metal as seldom gladdens the eye of a digger, and worth, at the lowest computation, six thousand dollars. 1 laid the mass down on the grass beside me, and looked up, as if to seek an explanation, at Minnie’s pale, lovelv face. Her eyes flashed, and her lips were trembling. “Quick, Frank, quick!'' the cried; “work ou, work like a man, and do not linger on the very threshold of our fortune. Win wealth, win me, poor boy, and spare not pain or toil in a lew hours that are lelt—see, see, the yellow vein yonder, trending south. That is what the miners call a heart-lode, is it not Fol low it and be rich. I will light you as you as digshe added, snatching up the fan tern, and holding it so as t« throw its gleam into the shallow pit, where, sure enough, my eye caught the tell-tale rlit ter of a thick thread of gold quartz, trend ing southwards, as Minnie had said. And now 1 fell resolutely to work, striking such blows as awoke the echoes of the cliffs, while Minnie, holding up the light overhead, encouraged me with fond and hopeful words to fresh exertions. The weather was intensely hot, at least to English appreciation, and now the light ning begau to play among the serrated crests of the mountains, and the thunder growled afar off, but we Wire both too I much excited to heed the signs of a com* lng storm, and It was not till the heavy ram set iu with almost tropical profusion, that I remembered that Minnie was too tender and delicate to be exposed to the pelting ol the down-coming deluge, and lifting the blue Mexican poncho which I had thrown aside for the purpose of giving freer play to my limbs, 1 turned to wrap it round her as some protection from the elements. To my surprise, she was gone. The lantern stood on a jutting fragment of rock, but of the fair girl who had so lately been beside me there was not a trace. I went in search of her towards the hut, calling out her name, with every term ot endearment, but the hollow echoes alone returned the sound of my voice, nor could I find any signs of her, although I made the circuit of the brake where 1 presumed her steed to have been tethered Had she in some sudden impulse of maiden coy ness or caprice, remounted her horse and ridden oft homewards, without a word of adieu, or had she dreaded lest her father should discover and resent her absence? Could it lie that her mind was disordered, thai—no, the accuracy of the information which she had afforded me, whence ac quired 1 could not guess, as to the where abouts of the gold-vein to which she had led me, vouched tor the clearness of her intellect, however wild and unusual might have been her words and bearing, under the influence of strong excitement. Mean while, I had other matter to occupy my thoughts. The sudden stroke of good luck brought with it a haunting fear lest some balelul chance should intervene to blight my reviving prospects. mere s many a slip betwixt the cup and the lip,” was a proverb wbich in clas sical Latin, as in homely Ensllsb, kept ringing in my ears, as if a mocking spirit were whispering the words. How if one ot those thousand mishaps that await the gold-digger should mar the completeness of my discovery The bursting of a wa ter-spout, a chance encounter with lurk ing Indians or white “road-agents,” an attack ot the country fever, or the abrupt dipping of the vein into hanl crystalline rock, which must be slowly attacked by drills and dynamite, would npset all my calculations. There was net a moment to be lost, lest some iucident should rob me my new fledged hopes; and accordingly, heedless of the heavy rain, I dragged my selt back to the freshly turned soil, and labored on, until at length, fairly worn out, I sank down on the edge of the pit and fell usleep through sheer exhanetion. The first rays of the morning sun falling on my lace aroused me, and I raised my self on my elbow and looked arqpnd. Memory, however, soon brought back to me the events of the p^st night—Minnie’s strange visit, her unaccountable acquaint ance with the existence of the gold-mine, ihe labors that bad led to such rich result, the newly kindled hopes that bad sprung up as fortune smiled upon us. There lay the glittering heap of nuggets, of all shapes and sizes, from the flake like the scale of some monstrous fish to the queer Iv-shappen block that resembled an old fragment of some tree-root transmuted in to gold. Altogether the “pile,” in miners' parlence, was probably of a value of some nine thousand dollars, which, with what I had painfully amassed in the course of laborious months, made np tWo-thirds of the stipulated sum. Two days remained to me in which to become master of the remainder; and the bright gleam of the yellow vein, cropping through the rocky side of the excavation, seemed to beckon me on. How I worked during those two days and nights can ouly be guessed by' those whom some mighty impulse has caused to put a con secutive straiu on nerve and muscle for many hours together, crushing down bodi ly fatigue, as it were, by force of will. It is seldom with impunity that such a toll can be levied on the vital energies; but I was young, strong, and in love, and when the deathly faintness of extreme exhaus tion came upon me, often would Minnie's sweet image arise before me as if to urge me on. Autteus-like, I felt renewed vigor to resume my task. It was a labor for a giant. I have since heard bow at a latter time miners from other spots came wonderingly to the spots to survey the pit 1 had dug, marveling that one pair of hands could have done so much in so brief a space. For although the vein contiuued to yield its golden trea ures, tending to the south, it had to be tracked out, ever deeper and deeper, be low the stony platform of the ravine, un til at last I was plying my pick in a tun nelled arch of my own cutting. I bad ceased to count or estimate the probable value of my winnings, and it was not un til the evening ot the last day that I finally desisted from my toil, and spreading out my golden store on tho fartheru floor of my hut, assured myself that it was, at the very least, worth twenty-eight thou sand dollars. My work was done, my re ward secured, and I fell asleep, and dreamed of happiness soon to be realized. 1 litre was not a blither heart in all America when soon after sunrise on the following morning, I saddled my horse and. with the leathern bag that held my treasure securely stripped before me on my sure-footed steed, set off for Jonathan Fuirlop's farm to claim my bride. Somehow, as 1 drew near my journey’s end. and approached the well-known dwel ing of the rich farmer, my high spirits flagged, and a chill ran through my limbs, as if my heart within me had fore boded evil. 1 drew rein, and rode slowly up to the trellised porch, screened by trail ing rose that had planted. There seemed to be an unwonted stir about the farmer's doorway. A littile knot of men, in their glossy Sunday suits of black bloadcloth, stood conversing in an undertone beneath the shade of the porch. They turned to look at me, as I rode np and dismounted. One of them was an acquaintance of mine. He bent forward and spoke a word or two to the rest, and I noted that there waa a look of sorrow, pity, surprise, in all their sun- burned laces as they fixed their eyes on me. I brushed by them and entered the house. The first well-known face I beheld was that of Fanny Falrlop, Min nie’s eldest sister. She covered it with [COMCUJDED OS EOCRTB FAOB.j

Before many years have passed away there will be a railroad down the Euphrates valley, and direct between Paris, London and other great cities an i the centre of Asia. The board of directors of lfie Romanian railways have ratithd the treaty with the Austrian net work, and this opens up communication to the Black Sea. The Paris correspondent of a London pi per vouches fur the truth of the following in cident, which occurred in Lyons: On the G;!> of October two young people were married in that town. Within a few hours of the cere mony they became insensible, and have re mained bo ever since. The I.yonese doctors have exhausted their science in this case, and the luckless pair, though alive yet, lire evi dently sinking from mere starvation. There cn he no question but that some narcotic ol the most violent class lias been given them, probably as a j ike. To-day we are told that a young man, apprenticed to a chemist, lias been arrested on suspicion. But it i» believed til it several of the marriage guests bore a part in the affair, which was meant a-i n jest only. 'JESERAL SEW H.

The Kennebec Fibre Co. have begun the manu ictare of pulp board in earnest, at their new mill a the Sebusticook in Itenton. Three hundred men arc at work in the granite uarries at Frankfort, getting out stone for the entcnninl building at Philadelphia.

The persons who rang the bells the other cvcn ng, for the democratic rejoicing,did some darmge tn two or three of the churches. The fact isdein icrats don’t know bow to behave in a church. Marcellus Emery was invited to lie present ar.d iddresS the jollification meeting the other evening. Had he been there, he and W. U. Smith would lave made warm work of Pillghury and Bradbury's rulogy of the republicans and the endorsement of heir acts. The firm of Haynes, Foster A Co., manufactur ers of lumber at Wiscassct, has been dissolved, and hereafter the business at Wiscassct is to be con tinued by the Kennebec Land and Lumber Com pany, whose headquarters are in this c tv, and who have purchased the Wiscassct property and the business of Messrs. Haynes, Foster A Co. The proposed new arrangement for running night trains on the Maine Central, seems to meet with thorough disfavor both at the eastern and western section i of the State. Tee Whig of yes terday says that if the proposed change is earned out there will be vigorous efforts to provide a rem edy for the inconvenience. The Gardiner Journal in giving the number of tailors in that city, six, understands that there are but two in Augusta. The Journal ;s misinformed. There are three establishments of the kind who advertise, and who have first class tailors, and there are two or three others who do work in a small way, making in all five or six tailors in the city._ The Jameson Guards of Bangor, having recently walked away with the first prize as the best drilled eompany in the State, and taken one first prize for the best dri led man, now propose' to obtain a obtain a prize for the best marksman in the State militia. The Jamesons are ready for a challenge and will bring forward their man at any time. Here's an opportunity for some of the good *hoct ists in the ranks of the Capital Guard*. The Maine Standard (den.) of Augusta appear ed as usual as we look at its outside; hut on turn ing over a leaf wc found its glorification, big and little, roosters and all, bottom upward.

The roosters that wc loaned them looked like scared hcn9 in their columns. A witness testifying in a horse case the other day, was asked by the counsel whnt he sold the horse for, in which he alleged that he had been cheated in the purchase, llis answer was that he sold the horse for five hens, a rooster, two ducks and a drskc, the whole valued at $17.50. The hens were stripped of their feathers and put into the oven. If he could only have seived the horse iu the same way he would have been a happy mau. We are glad that an efficient orchestra has been organized in this city. Theie will he plenty of business for such an institution during the win ter month*. It is kaown as “Richardson’s Or chestra/' the leader being Mr. Frank Richardson, who formerly lead a band iu this city, and who is a thorough musician and teacher of music. Mes srs. Allen Partridge, J. W. Cross, Job Springer, and and other member* of the Orchestra, are ac complished musicians, ami cannot fail to furnish a good Orchestra. A lady walking down Middle 9trect in Portland, the other day. happening to put her hand to her head was surprised to find that she had no bonnet •on it; she had been purchasing a new one, and had had it in her hand, but had left the old one on the counter, and was walkiug along entirely un conscious that anything wa* wanting in her perso nal attire. Wc will match with her the Augusta lady who got to the door of the church on Sunday, before -she discovered that the infinitesimal arti cle called a bonnet had been loft at home. Our despatches have stated that Isaac Savage of Fairfield, committed suicide by shooting. The Chronicle says that at twenty minutes past seven Tuesday evening, the report of a pistol shot near the Universalist church in that village, attracted a crowd to the spot, where lay the body of Isaac Savage, with the top of his head blown off, and horribly mangled. The unloaded pistol lay near his right hand on the ground. Mr. S. had been for many years intemperate, had squandered about $2000 in the last three years, lie had frequen lv been heard to say he should take his life. Tues day he borrowed 25 cents of an acquaintance, say ing as he did so, “You never will lend me again.” Three wcek9 ago ho selected a pistol at B. Bun ker’s made a pencil mark of a cross on the handle, and told the clerk he would call and pay for it in a few days. Tuesday, being sober, he entered the store, paid for the pistol, had it loaded wiih pow der and lurge shot. His age was about 45. The Late William II. Hemenway—The Lumber Itusluees ISown K«»i. Wm. II. Hemenway, Esq., who died at Machiss> Not. 6, was one of the largest lumber operators in Eastern Maine. Besides mrnufacluring an I ship ping five to six millions of lumber yearly, he was largely engaged in ship-building, trade and real estate. He was a man of broad, public spirit; ready to give substantial aid to general enterpris es. He possessed a generous nature, never failing to sympathize with the suffering, and giving to their relief. Ilis age was fi'2; the remains were taken to Mt. Auburn, near Boston. About two-thirds the quantity of lumber will be cut in on Maehias river that was cut in the winter of 73-4. The dull year has greatly stfeeted the lumber trade, yet the business must go on in a limited manner, otherwise, in three or four years hence, a total cessation must ensue, and that can not be so long as hemlock and pine trees last. A large amount of lumber has been shipped from Maehias in eight weeks past. One indisid val operator has shipped about four millions. Freights on graia and petroleum have within a week advanced materially at Baltimore aud other prominent shipping potts. This will release a large number of vessels from coal and 1 imher freights and give the ones remaining nn advance in prices. It will be good for Maine. Personal. Ilev.G. F. Stearns, for three years past a mis sionary of the New (^wedenhorgen) Church in Maine, has removed to Philadelphia, to accept a pastorate. Charles Bicker, who died at Pine Eland, Minn., formerly lived in China Maine, where now reside his two sisters. In connection with his brother George, he kept the “Kennebec Wous*,’’ Augusta, for some years. He enlisted in the army in the late war, being at that time in the west, where he has lived daring the last thirteen years, excepting when in the service. lie had for many years fol lowed the profession of dentistry. Rev. Nathaniel Melcher, provisional professor of mathematics in Colby University, has accepted an ap: ointment as principal of lloultou Academy. Rev Dr. Dexter, who was in Augusta 90 many years, is pleasantly located at BaMvvinvdle, in the towivof Templeton. His health has greatly im proved since he left Kennebunkport. Ili* daugh ter, Mrs. Perkins, recently sailed with her hus band in the ship Mt. Washington, for a trip around the world; their first voyage will he to Ilong Kong, China. Hon.

The Fnimiiisdnle Fire. The fire in Farmingdale Wednesday evening, an account of which was given in our special des patches, w as supposed tj have been set by a coup le of *‘trainps,” who were seen about the neighbor hood in the afternoon. Tin y probably went to the stahie of Mr. Thompson, wnere the fi e caught, intending to quarter there for the night, and ac cidently settiug the stable ou fire, from I heir pipes, ran off by the light of it. It was dea l low watcr in the river at the time, and the hand engines had great difficulty in getting their suction lio*e to the watcr. The s earner C shaoc from thri city, •lid handsome service, in saving valuable adjacent property. There were some instances of daring a- men went with buckets to the roof of he burn ing buildings. One person, an ol 1 sailor, ventured within an inch of the caves, and came near swing ing off. The walls of the Thompson house were constructed of plank and were at b ast two hours burning, while that of the widow Gould, constructed in the usual method, wa9 lapped up in about twenty minutes. The steam mill of the Kennebec Land at d Lumber company, ou the Pittston side was directly opposite the fire, and that and the pil^s j of lumber in the vicinity caught many times, and had to be watched by a large crew with pails of, water.

her hands and burst into a passion of weeping as our eyes met, then hurried away; and 1 heard her call “Father! father!" And then old Fairlop, in black too, came with a baiting step out of an inner room. For the very first time since 1 had known him, the rough, selfish old Ken tuckian scented softened. There were tears in his eyes, and his voice was gentle as he said: “Poor lad, poor lad. I'm sorry don’t you know it then “Know it. know what?’’ I asked hoarse ly, as I looked to right, and left, bewilder ed. The farmer laid his broad hand upon ray arm and drew me forward into the in ner room. “God forgive me, I was too hard with the pretty flower,” he said, groaning. “To see her alive again, even as the wife of the poorest man in the coun try or the State, I'd give every red cent of ray fortune, but it is too late now.” Yes. old Jonathan Fairlop had spoken truly. It was too late. There lay my poor Minnie in her coffin, calm, and peace ful, waxen white, beautiful with that strange fleeting beauty that the dead some times wear, and with a sweet, sad smile on her maiden lips, such as a tired child might wear when falling into a dreamless slumber. Dead The pure while shroud, the black bier, the closed eyes that should no more welcome mo told their own tale with terrible distinctness. And now 1 knew for the first time how weak, worn, and ill I was. The voices of those around me sounded as if they came from a great way off; the solid earth rocked and reeled the walls swam around me, and I fell swooning on the floor, and remembered nothing more than tnat all grew dark. When I recovered from the fever, brought on, no doubt, by over fatigue aud exposure to the weather, coupled with in tense mental excitement, they told me, not unkindly, how Minnie had ceased to l>e. Hiram LUoyd’s suit, encouraged by her father, the old man’s peremptory com mand that she should give up all idea of the “trash of a Britisher” who could not pay his way and maintain a wife, and my apparent failure in the attempt to wrest from the soil the necessary sum on which the farmer had stipulated, had proved too much for that delicate frame and that sensitive organization. “It came sudden ly at the last,” her sister said. Thin, frail, and wasted, the mental agitation had proved a burthen too heavy for her to bear and at length the laboring heart had ceased to beat, and with scarcely a whis pered word of farewell or forgiveness she w&i gone. Strange enough, she had died, so far as I could gather from those about her, al most at the same hour as that at which she had appeared before me at the door of my hut, eagerly calling upon me to seek for the buried gold to which she had so unerringly guided me. And when I heard this, there came a relapse in my ill ness, and delirium setting in, there ensued a period daring which I was in hourly danger, as I thought, always with my dead Minnie whom I should never see again, till we two shall meet in heaven. They were tender with me during the time of my convalesecnce, and it was in kindness, doubtless, that they strove to Sursuad me that I had but dreamed of [innie's visit; that my mind, sorely task ed and agitated, had deceived me; and that the spot whence the gold had been extracted had been one which I had noted as a likely one in some previous ramble, and had sought under the impression that I was guided to it by her of whom my thoughts were full. I smiled and let them speak. My own conviction remained un altered. That my dead love bad been with me was a comfort of whieli I would not lei them rob me, but I said nothing. bowed my head, and allowed them to believe me a convert to the hypothesis they suggested. I soon left that part of the country, suttleing in California, and work ing—as others seek refuge in strong drink —to banish the mournful thoughts that were with me ever. The gold 1 bad won from the soil sufficed to purchase a large extent of vrigin soil, now blooming with vineyard anti corn field, and I am a rich t man, and envied and all has thriven with me. But the zest of life is gone out of mine, and I wish, bow I wish that the weary pilgrimage were over, aud 1 at rest —as Minnie is—forever. Charles W.
