t ir^laces burst open; the dress—an old silk one-.-wa8 v^ y ragged, but not as from wear; there were great rents, as if tlie |K>or soul had forced her way through thorn and bramble-thickets.- Her head was uncovered, and the gray hair fell disheveled ai;d'' unkempt. Her face was very ‘fotched, very White and hollow-ol^kcd. Qhc had all the look'o(^ a,. Vagrant, wandering from ^liice^^ place,. ready te take revenge op 'society far real dr fancied w rop^ received ftom it.

So thought Aunt Deborah as she came uifo the room at tbe mpOicnt w i^ a plate holding a golden pyramid of blocks of butter.- “ Gracious sakes, child!“ oHed

Aunt Deborah.. “ Where did you get this creature, in the name of goodness ? Why did you let her in at all r /

“ W ell; Aunt Deb,” said Clara, quietly, “ I can hardly say that I let her in ; but I found her on the road, just at. our gate, almost fainting, and; I brought her iii, aunt, as I am sure you would do yourself.”

“ A ll very well, 9bilstitatei£' And now that she was cleaned and **«died o fT ' she pnhwtiitod*a tb more aristocratio appearance than Miss' Deborah herself.

She was in a high fever aod quired careful nitrsing.

Clara’S devotioh-'liad its origin in her pity and charity, but indeed she feft the necessity of the oo- eupatiqjs'^afforded her by this good actipU to fill the void left in her heart ^ the first great grief of her life.

Clara Story was an orphan, her parents having died when.she wraa^ot an early age. She had s|tent a year aitenmtely at her paternal uncle, Mr. Story’s, oid home in Chestnut Hill, and at her maternal uncle, Mr. Diok- Bon's farm in Bucks county.

A t Chestnut Hill she had met Mr. Philip Dupont,, and after a shmrt conrtship accepted him as her lover. No girl was happier than Clara. Slib loved Philip with the whole strengUi of her strong' heart, and she knew that she was beioved by him.

In the midst of her joy she received a letter from Mr. Dupont’s iqothcr forbidding the engagement! and cliBiging her, if she loved Philip unselfishly to break otherwiae the would destroy his prospects in life, for his mother would disinherit hii and Ilia frisudafanako him.

Decoration day is to bo observed here.

The burning of the Granite State, at Gppdspced’s Friday morning, found quite a number of our citizens on board. The steward, Mr. Albert Chapman, lost quite Iieavily in material and clothing, even to his shoes. E. S. Stevens, 2d stea-ard saved a portion of bjs clothing but lost his watcli and about 8ii0 in money. Isaac Broad- head, Esq., wlio took the lioat at Deep River and had ictired to his state-room, took tlic alarm himself, and was about tbe first man to take ad vantage of the approach of tiio boat to the dock to get off witliout loss, and rendered valuable assistance to others. Messrs. E. B. Hill and Rev. Mr. Painter took a flying leap from the burning craft to the ferry boat sonte foot tielow, in- wliiob the latter was somewhat injured in his back. I t was most fortunate that the catastrophe took place in the river near a dock, os otherwise the loss of life wonld have been very great in all probability.

A stranger hired a team from AIsop Welles last week Wednesday about 10 a. ni. to return about 4 p. m. Aa he did not make bis appearance, Mr. Wellea started out on Thursday, and that day and Friday ho traced the scamp to Middletown and Meriden. Ho found the team at Middletown on Friday, it having bei^ aold and exchanged twice certainly, and recovered everything except the whip, though the horse was a little the worse for wear. The thief gave his name at Middletown as George King, of' South Manchester. Mr. Welles has detectives on his track, and hopes that ho may yet bo arrested and suffer the proper penalty.

Tills the season of the year for forest Arcs. Some 850 acres of valuable woodland in Marlborough, belonging to Horatio Boliea and otliers, were burned over lost Friday. The fire is said to 'have started from'"a lot'on which parties were attempting to burn the bmsh, and is reported to have been tlie result of want of care.

Hiram S. Cole left on Saturday for a trip to New.irk, N. J., combining business with piensure.

Mrs. Henry S. Porter received a very serious injury on Friday lost, and her utuation is said to be extremely critical. Dr. J. E. Griswold is in a! tendance. The many friends of Mr. and Mr*. Porter deeply sym- patbixe with them in their time of trial.

We »re sori-y to learn that Mr. C. N. Carter lost one of his valuable horses Sunday night. Coming at this time, it is a very serious inconvenience and Iom to Mr. Carter in his farming operations.

Cnpt. Charles Bnckland, in consequence of ill-health, is obliged temporarily, at least, to leave steam-boating, which tlie public have reason to regret. We hope that bis: indisposition will lie but for a limited time, as he is one the best officers in his position on the river. _____-j;

Mrs; Henry D. Grant from Now York is at Mrs. Jane A. Grant’s for tlie season. The lost six months she has been spending with her daughter Mrs. Lieut. James Lockett, in New Mexico. In the course of her stay she, with an escort, went to visit the Zuni Indians, in whom Lieut. Cashing is just now so greatly interested.'From what we are able to hear from her, wc are not inclined to regard the Zunis* as very liighly enlightened, at-' q*< >1 thongh very ingenious in their handiwork, and singular in their mode of Hying.

The young folks are very busy in getting ready for an exhibition of “Tableaux 'Yivants” a t Coveil Hall on Friday evening of tbe present week. W e arc glad -to learn tliat the interest in tlie preparations for. the affair is so general, as that will conduce all the more to make the affair a success.

Our farmers, on tho occasion of the rain on Tuesday, could well afford to nay with Col. Sellers, “'Tbere’s millions in it,” for the reviving moisr tore was never more needed.
