Political differences, born of intimate Eoathern eonnections on the part of the Frauklios, was perfectly nataral bo- tween them and old Jobn Howard, who was & rampant Abolitionist when to bear that hallowed pame was (0 accept roprosch. Business compe- tition, boo,—both owned large establishments in » manufscturing town of Aaseachusetts,—had contributed its eloment- of matual dishizo, and, #orse thansll, the Howards wers rather fond of believing that theiwr blood fowed in an uninter- rupted channel nearto she very throns of Queen Elizabeth, and contuned bloe globules. The Frauklins may bavebeen related to another mon- arch,—a greater than tne Tudor,—the conqueror to whose triumphs the iclegraph poles ate the most familiar monuwents ; but old Frauklin was not much givem to paitiog himaelf on tho back ‘on account of a_grandfacher whom tho worms wers eating, and hoe rather ltked to think limself no better and D0 worse than his own doeds made him. When, how- over, Robert Franklin exhibited an unmistaka- ble prediiaction for Mary Howard, tha families wers perfectly agroed, for the firat timo in their acquaintance, that tho possible rosults should bo antioipated and g:avantcd. “Neither of tho yoang people was Likely to submit with good Heaco b0 any courso which resembled discipline.

Mary idealized Bob, and it was wall for Bob that sbe aid. Thank heaven, . that so many women bave the swost faculty of ideshizing 80 many Bobs! Franklin, to be just,- was ratner above than below the average. - Perhaps, take him all io all, e was just average, provided one. rejecls tha doctrine of total, and substitutes for it thet of partial, depravity. *What do {lmx think of the spology of Socraes, now that you have read it?” inquired 2 tutor of bim on the sampus. “7 thiok, &ir,” answered Bob, with no qualm of difidonce, *tbat his judges zod he wero .etty woil matched. 1le as much as toid them that they were knaves and idiots, aud his de- foase agamst the chargo of teaching fake dac- trine o tho Athenian youth was nothing buta most outrageons and iliogical gloritication of his onn witdom andl virtues.

A moment later he knocked down snd sorely msltreated s young man who, in aggravation of what Bob condemned s tha deplorable fault of carrying s cane, bad struck a sorvaot over the head with it for the fearful offenso of halloing at him from the gate to the tuinpike. Bob smoked, drank when opportunity offered, played 2n aspiring gamo of chees, punned on hia Latin, peglected his Greek. was clever in mathematics, and, if he had a preferonce, it was for chemistry. He was much devoted to the ratort—his eoitad Ccoat-slesves and ssucy lips alike proclaimed the donble truth. Bat he iacked industry, sad was more carions than persistent. When he went bome with his diploma, ke threw 1it, white ribbon,seal, and all,. into a trongh of the boos-case, and betook himsel! to his father's coanting-room, where he soon showed sptitnde for meking larger marzins—on pepér. He, swoke to a new Life—hLis ot on- 6rgy ronsed itself to eolarge his father's busi- ness and increase the profits, which were to be his 'own. As he becams engrossed with ledgers and dranmmers, ths “fervor of his affection for Mary Howard ‘waned ; his letters lost somothing of their effusiveness, and those written at that period, if published; wonld not be called senza- tiopal. He acted 2s foreman, propriztor, drum- mer, or porter, as.thaweek or tho hour required, and. his. father looked forsard with sssurance and pardonsblo pride to Robert's building up & trads which would overshadow all New Engiand, - and tarn straggling competition into successful mondpoly. s 3 It was notarious how little Bobert cared how he injnred the busipess of the Howards by un< orselling and solicitation. , He continued to trench upon it nn:il his eperations, threatened to wine the very foundations of the old and re- epectea house, snd when Mary, who had quietly suffered the agony which his indifferenco and besdlong haste imposed, - protested that. ber. fatber was profoundly alarmed sbout his finsa- cial standing, she discovered that Bob's thrift bad so far outrun his love and lefs tie latter 80 far in tho rear that it seemed impossibloit should oever catch up. a ¥ Howard failed aftér the tide of the war had ebbed, 20d tho rattling windows of his ale stor- ing factories added another wreck to the loog Tow of boachcd New England fortunes. . ‘Bob, with & choking lump in lus throat, sought Mary in ber distress, and implored her, with an ‘ambarrassing mixture of shame and tenderness, to marry hiw. . Her sorrow for her father, who was balf crazed at his calamity, and Ler convie~ tion that the Franklins' wore “in a degreé respon- #ible for it, proved a barrier which ‘no appesl of Bob's could pierce. . « Do you not know,” said ehe ** that if I were spiritless enough to become your wile for the snke of being supported by ‘you, my fathor would prefor to starve rather thian.shere my degradation ? He is near enough to hia grave now., God forgive you, ‘Bob, if you hastened Lis approach it.” . 4 Frankin covered his face with his bands, and the heat in his oyes blinded him like the dust. of 2 sirocco. ~ He was at that snpireme moment helpless and dazed by the spent furv of a atorm, of whoro approach he sbould have besn per- feotly conscious. ~ In his vainglory, he bad thought that if Jokn Ho! did go‘down, bis gxronut‘:on would be the - bridge ever which ary_would paes-to bis protection, - and- she would, of course, bring her father with her,— for Bob bzd reason to fear that the prond old man would pever come suy other way. He bhad mot, indeed, con- spired for Howard's overthrow; he had not ‘calmly plsoned the geveral theft of his Western line, nor was he capablie of the malice which such o delxdzn would require. He bad simply driven, and conzed, and urged, and whesaled his own and his father's interests in every direc- tion, heedlesa of the men or. the obstacles in tho way, and saddsnly discovered the silence and roins of the Eoward factory as deoris-in his conrse.

The poor fellow had - redched the dizzy Leight of success only to tumble o the depts of failure, and wake up, aloce in the world, with only money enongh to compel him to seek specdily some discrcet investment.

Ths father, Adri- an, is 52 years old, and the son, Fedor, but & Prof. Virchow delivered the lecture over thess Qqueer specimens of humanity befors the medieal soctety. He eays thera is but & limited number of examples of this excessive growth of hair on the human- frame. The English travelor, Mr. Crawford, fonnd some similar persons in Asis in 1829; thete bemg a family i tha Kingdom of Ava where for three generations eoms members of the family were remarkabls for the extraor dinary growth of bair—the grandfather, & daughter, and a grandchild—whilo other mem- bers of -the. family were in the normal atate. Witn Father Adrion andson the excossive growth is confined principally to the facs and neck, though on Fedor there are patches of hair like islanda on bis back and arms. The bair on’,the head is much thicker and longer than on ordin: people. The besvy growth on the face and n is exceedingiy curious, though it does oot atrike one unpleasantiy as oo would imsgine, possibly on account of the pleasant espression of the swall eyve. - Another circumstanca that makes the problem still more complex, but more_inter- esting, is the greatlack of teetb. The grandfather in the family at Ava had in the upper sand under {aw only four incisors, and besides but one corner tooth in the under jaw, which appeated in the 20th year of his age. The daughter had na cor~. ner or back teeth. With Father Adrian the lack i atill more remarkable; n the upper jaw, with the exception of one corner tooth, he has no teoth at all. The littls Fedor has none in the upper jaw, and only the four incisors 1n the lower jaw. Whethor thers was any ImOre Connec~ tion botween the lack of tceth and the excesaive growth of hair, Prof. Virchow was not able to determine, The resemblance in some respects to the sioth, armadilio, and aot-eaters is quite remarkable, for some of these animais have no incisors or corner teeth, snd soms none st sil, These siugular specimens of humanity arg’ quita an interesting study for persons inclined 0 trace o mmilar origin for men and animals. 4SHE SAT IDLY AT THE WIZ30W, BUILDING CASTLES-IN THE AIR.” Hoft, swes nirs of summaer .
