LIBERTY AND UNION,
BHOWNYILLE, NEBRASKA, THUBSBAY,
A Strange Story.
. In at flourishing little town in Corsica,
there lived a respected merchant, named
Cadrnir Borosse. Ho married a young
and handsome lady of Eome fortune, and
in course of time became the father of
two promising children, a daughter and
son. On the tenth anniversary of his
daughter's birth, he gave a splendid en
tertainment at his mansion, to which
were invited m?ny f the leading fami
lies of th Everyihiny went oT
with satisfaction to the guests, arid those
who drank succes to the supposed happy
merchant, little dream.ed h was on the
verge of ruin. But such was the case.
Some speculations which he had entered
into, had taken an unfortunate turn, and
he himielf was aware that the secret
could act long be concealed, and that
poverty would soon be the doom of him
self and family ; and though he seemed
on that night to be the gayest, of the gay
yet a weight of sorrow was upon his
heart.
After the guests had departed, instead
of retiring to bed he told his wife he
had name business letters to writt, and
went to a little room, denominated a
library, and locked himself in. Here he
debated with himself, whether he should
boldly await the fearful consequences of
exptsure, ruin and disgrace, cr take his
own life, or flee from the country. After
a severe mental struggle, he decided
upon the last.
"If I remain hare, a living man." he
argued, "I shall be crushed and despised
and never perhaps have an opportunity
to rise again ; if I take my life, I shall
send my soul into the presence of my
Maker, with at least a self-murderer's
sin upon it ; but if I escape to a foreign
country, who knaws but that, with the
little means 1 shall carry with m
I may in time be able to carve out a ctvv
fortue, and return in triumph to cancel
every out-standing obligation ?"
Having thus decided upon his course,
he at oiict; proceedn-d wnli
the
task of acquainting his wife by letter of
what had occurred, his new resolution,
and bidding her a sad farewell.
"I have net the moral courage to meet
and tell you of my misfortunes," he
went on to say, "nor the moral courage to
remain aud face my ruin. I must de
part to some unknown region, either in
this world or from it, and as my death
can benefit no one. I do not feel called
upn to add a suicide's sin to my soul.
As all our property will soon be seized
and sold, which, without other provisioa,
would leave you and our dear children
beggars, I have resolved to retain all the
Money I now have in my possession, to
collect ail I possibly can in the brief
space of to-morrow, place ne half at
your dispos.il, and, with the other moiety
set off and attempt to retrieve my fortune
in a distant land. If I succeed in my
de&ign, I will return and pay all my debts
like an honest man if I fail, my credi
tors must lose. Lat this lettsr be des
troyed as soon as read, and my project
.be a profound secret in your breast alone.
If questioned, know nothing of me or my
designs, and be sure you let no one sus-
w
pect I left you meney. If you remain in
Corsica, live as one would live if I had
left ycu nothing, aud your own conscious
ness of seeret means will give you men
tal strength."
These were the principal points of the
letter.which concluded with protestations
of eternal love and fidelity.
Having thu3 fully nettled upon his
coarse, the merchant went U bed, fell
asleep, and slept as soundly as if nothing
had ever occurred to trouble him by all
of which it will be ptrceived .he was a
rather extraordinary man. The next
day he was at the counting-room, calm
and coo!, and transacted his business in
his usual fanner. Po one su?PeCteu

would not have public expose for at
least four and twenty hours. He direct
ed that certain bills should be paid, and
others be collected and he borrowed,
for the shortest ti&.a considerable sum
of a wehy backer. At dusk he disap
peared, "liSd not till a , late hour did his
wife become uneasy concerning his ab
sence. Going into his library, near mid
night, she found the letter addressed to
her, of which we have already given a
description. The sheck was se terrible

derful fortitude, and those whj learned
the news of her huiband's absence, at
tributed her excitement and Double to
her alarm on his account. Of course
she knew not whither he had (one, for
for this his letter did not state, and so,
when questioned on the subject, she
could speak the truth without eularrass
ment. But great as was her present sorrow,
it was destined to be still greater within
afw hours. Before nijht the f fae? was
thro'.?n . jnto a state f!crftt-'synH:ci
by the startling new3 that Cadmir Boroses
had besn feund murdered, abut ten
miles from town, on the road to the near
est seaport. He appeared to have been
shot first, and then his face beat to a
jelly by a club. A single letter, found
on his body, gave a clew to his identity
and place of residence ; and when the
corpse was carried into town, ail his
friends, and especially his wife, recog
nized it by the dress worn when last seen
alive. He had also been robbed of
every thing but the single letter found
in one of his pockets, which the murder
er had neglected to destroy or take avay
probably considering it of no valuo.
This murder naturally made a great
stir throughout that section; and when,
soon after it was discovered that the de
ceased was insolvent, the exciteme.it in
moneyed circles became iutense. The
widow received much sympathy from
her immediate friends ; but the crud.tors
pressed their claims, aud every thing
that could be legally, was seized and
sold, and only for the money ehe had
managed to conceal, the afflicted lady
would have been reduced to absolute
poverty.
The authorities took the affair of the
murder in hand, and offered a large re
ward for the detection and conviction of
the murderer. Several arrests were
made, and at last the villian was caught.
He declared his innocence till the collect
ed evidence became to strong for him,
end then he confessed to the murder,
but denied the robbery. He stated that

another man had come running towards
bun, and he at once made good his es
cape. Whether this story was trfie in
the whole, or only in part, matte rd lit
tle. He had confessed to the killing and
that was enough; and for this, iq due
process of law, he was executed, j
Time passed on, the excitementgrad
ually died away, and the grief the
afflicted family gradually became assuag
ed. Eight years from the death of her
husband, it was rumored that Mtdame
Borosse was about, for the seconl time,
to enter into the nuptial state, hej suitor
being a gentleman of wealth anta des
cendant of a noble French family! Ru
mor in this case had truth for a jounda
tion; and, not long after, iuvitatiop were
sent to the leading families of lit! town
to attend the wedding, which wasexpect
ed to prove a very brilliant affaii The
appointed day came, the guestsj assem
bled, and the ceremoney was jjbput to
begin, when a stranger, pale andbreath-
less, came rushing into the presence of
the company, and exclaimed:
"Am I too late? is Madame
Eorosse
the wife of another 1 1
The company was electrified, and each
felt the presaging thrill of a Strang? de
velopment. The bride turned and fixed
her eyes upon the excited questiinar,
and then stood like a statue, speediless
and breathless with amazement ai.d ter
ror. uVho are you, sir? and why'chaj
question at such a time?" deir.aric.Vi the j
priest, stepping forward and confronting
the intruder.
"I arn he, goed father, who has a prior
claim I am Cadmir Borosse !"
A wild shriek rung out with most
startling effect, and the .pale brkie, no
longer conscious, lay perfectly holplcss
in the arras of her cudants.v The al
moot distracted husband sprung forward,
exclaiming :
Ilea ven's mercy ! I fear !l have
killed her!" j
But she had only swooned fron excess
of emotion, and in a short time revived.
'Was it a strange, delusive cVeam?"
were her first murmured words ; "or did
I see the dead aiive. and here tie voice
of my beloved and long mcurnld hus
band ?" ; j
Happily it was no delusion. tCadmir
Borosse was there, a living roanj and in
due time proceeded to clear up tie won
derful mystery concerning himself.
On the night that he left his kme for
a long separation from his fanily, he
first repaired to hh counlinhouse,
and remained there till a late hair, and
then stole out of town, taking the road to
I !
Ay Ay
JANUARY 28, 1864.
Ajaccio. By daylight the neit morning
he was some ten miles on his journey ;
and from a fear of being followed, he
resolved to turn off into a dark, gloomy
road, and conceal himself till another
night. He had just reached a place suit
able for his purpose, when he heard
voices approaching, and immediately se
creted himself in a thicket, to avoid be
ing seen. Two persons, apparently
travellers, soon after went by, but did
not get out of sight before he wa3 star
tled by the report of a pistol, and saw
that one of them had shot the other.
Impuively he sprung forward to secure
he murderer, who, hearing his steps, at
once bounded off into the wood and es
caped. On reaching the prostrate man
he found him just breathing his last; and
hen like lightning the idea flashed upon
him of changing clovhes with the dead
man, mutilating the features beyond re
cognition, leaving one of his own letters
on the body, and thus compelling ,his
family and friends to belive it was him
self intending, as scon as he could do
so with safety, to acquaiut his wif with
the real facts.
This purpose it is already known he
succeeded in carrying out; and finding
a passport on the deceased, that in its
description, of size, color of hair, com
plexion, and so forth, answered to a des
cription of himself, he decided to make
use of it and assume his name. There
was also a large amount of money and
valuable jewels ou the murdered man,
which, thinking it wrong to use and
wrong to leave, be took away and buried
intending, if he could ever discover the
friends of th deceased, to res'.oro ail to
them, but otherwise to ste all disposed of
in charity.
At Ajaccio he found a veiel bound
for India, and forthwith took passage, to
try his fortune in that distant land. Ho
had been successful beyond his most
sanguine hopes, and had now returned to
pay off all his obligations and restore his
family to their former position ia society.
He had ' written once to his wife, to say
he was alive and well, and ths.t some
day he would return and clear up the
received, and hence th peculiar state of
affairs at the moment cf his arrival.
There is an old proverb which say3,
"All is well that ends wel!;M aud after
great sorrow and tribulation, happiness

mir Borosse.

of men wb think their daughters should

hands so lonj.
Now there was a young fellow in the
neighborhood who had been waiting on
the V-
girls for some time, aod had
gone the rounds from oldest to youngest ;
and the old man had be?n anxiously
waiting for, and expecting young B
to ask his "consent" for iome on) of the
qirls, but as yet had waited in vain.
B , however, had proposed and had
been accepted, but the old folks had not
been made acquainted with the fact.
Now, in the meantime, ycung B-
had " purchased a Rue horse of the old
gent, and had given his note on six
months' time for one hundred dollars.
Well, pay-day was approaching, and
B had not the "ready" to meet it;
so, the day before the note became due,
young B made his way over to the
old gent's, determining to ask fcr his
daughter hoping thereby to get an ex

ice or envy, for it is a sign of attracta
ble and commendable spirit ; and in cases
of passion, admit reason to govern,
Use not bae and frivolous things a
gainst grown and learned men ; no very
difficult questions among the ignorant nor
things hard to believe.
Speak not doleful things in the time of
mirth, nor at the table ; nor of melan
choly things at death or wounds, and if
others mention them, change, if you can,
the discourse.
Break not a jest when none take
pleasure in mirth. Laugh not loud, nor
at all without occasion. Deride no mans
miifortune, though there seem to be some
cause.
Speak not injurious wards either in
jest or in earnest. Scoff at co one, tho'
you may get occason.
Be not forward, but friendly and cour
teous the first to salute, hear an answer
and be not to pensive when it is time
to converse.
Go not thither when you know not
wheiher you shall be welcome or not.
Reprehend not the imperfections of
others, for that belongs to parents, mas
ters and supervisors.
Speak not in an unknown tongue in
comany, but in your own language, and
that as those of quality do, and not as
the vulgar.
Sublime matters treat seriously.

Ned and Charley are two racm-nutes
but the occupy different beda. Ned's
sleeping apparatus was so situated that
he could get in on either side that is to
say, thera were two fore-sides; which
Ned found very convenient.
One night, Ned ond Charley had beea
out, and on returning, which thy did
near morning, both wer9 considerably el
evated. However, they walked to tbair
room with an air that seemed to say, "cot
so drunk after all," and sought long, and
patiently for matches and lamp. After
knocking the pitcher off the wash-stand,
aud smashing the locking-giM3, tb':-7
finally gave ip the search and went ta
bed.
Went te bed yes, that's the word,
but owing to the darknes and confusion
of their sense, they made a slight mis
take. In short, Ned's bed had the honor
of receiving the two friends Charley4
getting in on one side, and his friend
rolling in on the other.
"I say, Ned," cried Charley, touching
somebody's calf, "there's a ftllow ia my
bed."
"Wenderful coincidence," exclaimed
Ned, feeling a strange elbow in ths
neighborhood cf his ribs; "there's one ia
my bed, loo."
"Is there ?" cried Charley; "let's kcik
'em out!"
"Agreed !" said Ned.
And accordingly the two friends begaa '
to kick. It lasted about a minute and a
half, and Ned was sprawling on the floor.
Charley was left in possession of the bed.
For a moment all was silent.
"J
I say, Ned," cried Charlsy.
What ?" asked Ned, sulkily.
- "I've kicked my fellow out."
"You are luckier than I am," said Ned,'
'for mine has kicked me cut."
At a dinnner-table one evening, a sea
faring guest was describing a terrific
naval engagement, of which he was a'
spectator, on board a British man-of-war.'
"While I watching the effects of tha
galling fire upon the masts and rigging,"
said he, "there came a cannon ball, which,
took c.ff both legs from' a aiicr whj was
in tho shrouds." II fell toward the deck"
but at that moment another cannon tall
whizzed over us, which, strange to say,'
took off both of his arm?, which fell up
on deck, while the poer fellow's limbless
trunk was carried overboard."
"Heaven's!" exclaimed Lamb, ,wh9
was present, "didn't you save him ?"
"No," replied the naval Munchausen;
he couldn't swim, of course, and sank
btfore assistance could be rendered him:"
'It was a sad, sad loss !" said Lamb,'
musingly; "if he could have been picked
up, what an ornament to society he ight
have become !"
In the town of Lower Salem dwelt an
aged minister, by the name of Mead.
He.. was all his life marked with eccen
tricity, and about those days of which I
speak, his fnind was rendered yet mcri
erratic by a touch of paralysis. He was
however, still able to preach. tand ca a
certain Sunday, having exchanged with'
my father, h8 was in the pulpit and en
gaged in making his open prayer. He
hat already begun his invocation, when
David P , who was the gehu cf thaf
generation, dashed by the front door up
on a horse, a ciever animal, of which ha
was but too proud in a full, round trot.
The eche of the the clattering hoofs filled
the church, which, being of wood, was
sonorous as a drum, and arrested atten
tion as well of the minister as the con-
1
gregation, even before the rider haci
reached it. The minister w3 fond cf
horses, almost to frailty; and, from tha
first, his practiced ear perceived that th9
sounds came from a beast of bottom.'
When the anixr.il shot by the door, ha
could not restrain his admiration; which
was accordingly thrust into the very
marrow of his praysr: "We pray Thee,
ch, Lord, ia a particular and peculiar
manner that's a real smart critter to
forgive us our manifold trespasses, ia a
particular and peculiar manner, &c."

Haao ox Bines. The following bit of
satire is credited to a Souther paper;
After the battle of Chickamaua, a
soldier, who had been within the' enemy's
lines acd escaped, wa3 carried before
Gee. Bragg and questioned ia relatioa
to what he saw. He said the route was
complete and th? enemy ia full retreat
when he left. Tho General asked hin
if he knew what a retreat was. He
looked at the General with surprise, and
said; "Why, General, hivn't I teen
with you in your whole campaign?'
