Frank was first to break the silence. “Tam afraid I was rather stupid to-night, cousin Kate.’’ (She had assented to the title at last ) ‘I don’t know, indeed, I didn’t mind,”’ she said, in atone of mingled chagrin and em- barrassment. He looked searchingly at her, but she added more cheerfully after a moment’s pause, “Tho truth ic, Frank, I was so pleasantly entertained with Harry Benticy’s witticiems, that I did’nt notice how you and Carrie were gettingon. Isn’t Harry a delightful conver- sationist ?”’ “Rather pleasant.” Again a pause. “ Kate, can you keop a secret ? ’ he asked, abruptly. “T think so. Why?’ a little. “* Becauge I am in trouble, and it seems to me@ou can help me out of it. At any rate, I know you are a kind, good hearted girl, and will at least sympathize with me.” Kate trembled. ‘What is the matter,’ she asked, in a tone of forced composure With an effort to begin his story, they walked slowly, and he finished befure they reached the house “But how am I to aid you in bringing about a meeting with your recreant fair one? she asked “1 will tell you : One morning last week, I rose early to write a letter to her, and when I had finished it, having business in Brooklyn, I went down town, crossed Fulton Ferry, and having transacted my business, deposited the letter in the office myself. It was still quite eariy, and as [ stood waiting for a South Fer- Ty stage, a young lady passed me, and enter- ing the office received a letter, which, as sho passed me coming out, I perceived was my own, directed to Clarabel. I started, (so did Kate) as you may imagine, and burrying after her entered the Fuiton Forry car and determined upon tracing her, followed her into an up-town stage, and saw her alight at the door of Madam C——'s school. ~ She was closély veiled, and I could not gain a very distinct view cf her features, but she was petite in figure, and I should think light com- pexioned and pretty. Is there such a young jady at the schoo! who comes from Brooklyn?”’ Kate had been fearful as she listened to the narrative, lest she might be obliged either to make a full confessson or to implicate her friend, which latter she could not in con- science do; but now she saw a loop-hole for escape. = There is one young lady from Brooklyn in school,’’ she replied, “and only one, and she is dark complexioned and not at all pretty, and is, morever, and unusually disereet per- son and an intimate friend of mine I know her so well that I can at once assure you that she isnot your correspondent.

But I am sure it would be fruitless to attempt to en any information from her if she is pl to secrecy, nor would I wish to ask it of her.’’ ‘Of course I would not have you.

Frank, notwil ing Kate's advice to the contrary, still wrote occasional letters. He seldom showed them to her, however, and as since she had learned how nearly her faithful messenger had been exposed, she no longer dared to trust her, she usaally went for them herself; for heartily sick tired as she pro- tessed herself of the whole affair, she bad still @ strange interest in the letters. Usually she went after school, but it so hap- pened that upon one occasion, having an af- ternoon engagement which would prevent her going at the accustomed hour, she went soon atter breakfast She wes a rapid walker, and disliked stage- riding, so though the clouds threatened rain, she eschewed the popular vebicle and kept on her way down town, her thoughts busy with the net of perplexing circumstences which surrounded ber.

Before she crossed the ferry it commenced raining, but still she walked on, preferring to be slightly wet rather than to be crowded in among the heterogeneous mass of damp and recking passengers. She entered the office, received her letter, and with it still in her hand turned to leave. There upon the door- sill, pausing in astonishment at seeing her, 8 Frank.

Of how much benefit the labors of that cay were to Kate, I am not called upon to state. Ido not think, however, that it would + afe to place a very high estimate upon them. The doy, like all others, had an end, and when the last bell rang Kate was obliged re- luctantly to go home. She walked slowly, for she dreaded the meeting that must ensue. When ehe reached the house, she found that her uncle had not yet come from the counting-house, and Mrs Ripley had gone ont shopping and had not re- turued. With many a sad forebodiag she prepared herself for dinner, and then she went down into the library to await the re- turn of the family. Seating herself in a large arm-ohair which stood in the niche of a window, she leaned her head upon the casement and gave herself up to anxious thoughts. So busy was she with the perplexities that crowded her brain that she didn't hear the outer door swing on its hinges, she didn't hear a foct-fall on the carpet, she didn't know that sumebody was me beside her, till somebody whispered, ** Kate Sle didn’t look, and somebody laid his hand on her long. dark curls, and passed his arm around her waist and etrove to raise her.

Patteakofer and Ruland, assignors of Messrs. Davis, Mussey, L. R. Breisach aud others, for an apparatus for making wood gas. These gentlemen, who hold this patent, are possessed of skill, experience and capital, sufficient to enable them to furnish this e: lent and economical gas to all the cities an towns inthe United States. Pattenkofer and Ruland were the original inventors of this im- provement in Europe, and their Bavarian patent bears date in February, 1851. They are emineot chemists of Bavaria; and were the first who discovered and brought into practical use before the public, the great prin- ciple essential in making wood gas, to wit : Too subjecting the primitive vapors of des- tructive distillation to an immediate increased intensity of heat, so as to combine the carbon and hydrogen, The gas is made on a large scale by the gentlemen above named, in Phil- adelphia, for the city use, and has been intro- duced by them into several cities and towns of the southern and western States It gives a pure brilliant light, without offensive odor.
