Thou lend'at thy rendy vail to every treason, And teeming mischief thri vnbeneath thy shade!' Mr. Colebrook was dead. He was a rich man, yet a slight acquaintance with him would have convinced even a super hcial observer that he was not a happy ir.3n. He was misanthropic in his view though he had the reputation in the street of bein a very kind-nearteu anu benev olent man. Every day seemed to usher bim into the arena of a new strife with the powers of misery. Apparently he was tired of life, and impatiently waited the hour that had now come, and which would place him beyond the trials and woes of this sublunary existance. And vet many could remember when he was a gay, cheerful person. Before his marriage with a poor but beautiful crirl, some seven years before his death, he had worn a sunny smile, and life seem ed to him a pleasant dream. Though only thirty-live when he mar ried, people said there was loo much d if - ference between his own age and that of his wife who was, I believe, about twen ty-one. Frcm one extreme she went to the other. She had been poor, and forced to content herself with but few of the luxuries and gayeties of life; but now she was rich, and her indulgent husband gave full access to his coffers. Wealth fostered pride, and Mrs. Cole brook became a leader of fashion the gayest of the gay. Her beauty and her influential position in society made her a uueen, and her smile was courted by the brilliant and desstlute. The house, when she was at home, was always filled with p-av rallants and lordly ladies. All the world could see this; and the next thin,g it was, was, that Mr. Cole brook grew culd and melancholy; that his wife looked coldly at him, and that there was little, if any, sympathy, be tween them, lhe people said the poor man had married badly, and the croakers all "knew that it would be so." Mr. Colebrook was dead. Whatever woes had weighed him down, he was be vond their reach now. People said he had died of a. broken heart ; that the whirl cf pleasure in his own home had been hell to him ; and that his gay wile had been a scorpion who had stung him to death. For my own part, I pay but little at tention to the busy tongue cf gossip. I account all it says, wheiher good or bad, as mere slander. Whatever stories I had heard concerning Mrs. Colebrook. and I had heard many, passed "in at one ear and out at the other." "Mr. Mortal ?" said a man at my door. "That is my name." "Mr. Colebrook is dead, and Mrs. Colebrcok wants you to cuine up to the boase and lay him out." "Mr. Cclebrook !" I exclaimed, for the "I will, madam " "Oh, it was terrible!" groaned she.

"I would not have him left alone, for all the world." said she, with a kind of convulsive shiver. "No possible harm could befall him."

The alcohol which had been pro vided to wet the face was all used, and t n?rded a further supply.

"I need a little more alcohol, Mrs. Colebrook." 1 began. The Judge called his little black boy, ordered three pjpers of tobacco, and we smoked in silence. "Then you think you really ought to be hung?" he said, with compassion, as he whiffed a cloud of smoke toward the ceiling. "I do, in fact," answered Rolfe, emit ting a similar volume of vapor. The Judge smoked and considered Tlie Reverse:; cfi352. The Chicago Tribune thus recalls the disastrous elections of 156:3, and com pares them with the results of the elec tions this year : Main gave but G.02J Republican ma crity, and one Copperhead was eltcted to Congress. New Hampshire gave 3, 79S Democratic majority for Governor, and elected one Democrat ta Conrrrvss. New York went Copperhead ontheState ticket by 10 752, elected Seymour Gov ernor aud seventeen members of Con gress cf the same like against fourteen Republicans. Pennsylvania went Copperhead by 3,-2-iracd elected thirteen Correrheads to Congress against eleven Republic ir.s.

Illinois went Copperhead by 16,5-15 and elected nine Copperheads to fivo Republicans. In Michigan the Republican majority was cut down to 6,014 majority, and ono Congressman was lost. W isconsin went Copperhead by 1,107 votes and elected three Copperhead Congressmen against thr.;e Itopullicuna. The Copperhead organs and dema gogues were perfectly wild over these tremendous "gains'' and "popular revo lutions." B;ii what benefii did they de rive from thern ? Were they able to stop the war? or arrest emaacip-ttion? or prevent tho employmen: of neroe as soldiers? or revoke the Imlcat corpus suspension 5 or restore me Uonserv.uivt Generals to the command cf the armia? or stop conscription or volunteering? No, not one of them. Thy v;ir was prosecuted with more vigor than before. Emancipation was perfected, and blade soldiers were enlisted ; the draft was en forced, and treasonable Copperhead were arrested "and put iato Forts War ren and Lafayette. At the si.bieqiieut Presidential election there waj a swing back of the political pendulum, and the Copperhead party were cru-hm'4ly de feated.

I had brought an interesting book from heme, and Mrs. Colebrook had provided a very inviting repast for me in the dm- . 1 to, ino- room below, so that 1 looked forward to a very comfortable night. Throwing myself into the large rocking-chair which had been placed there for my use, I was soon engaged in the entertaining pages of my bock. As often as tbe clock struck, I arose and examined the corpse, moist ened the face with alcohol, and wiped away the purging at the mouth. At eleven o'clock some one entered the house, and came up stairs. .They were the feet of a man, and I heard him enter the parlor adjoining the room of death. Though it seemed a rather singular cir-! cumstance that a man should enter the house at that hour of the night, I thought nothing more of it until I heard voices, engaged in earnest conversation. In a few moments they grew louder and more distinct, and I recognized the voice of Dr. Rowne. Perhaps Mrs. Colebtook was sick, and needed his assistance. But he spoke not in the trnes of his profes sion. The other person spoke in a whis per; but the physician spoke in his nat ural voice, and seemed to be under no re straint. The house was still as the tomb, and though I made no effort to hear what was said, the expressions "will,'' "three wit nesses," "thirty days." and others of a similar character, came directly to my ears. They aroused my curiosity. Who was this Dr. Rowne ? W?by was he there at such an unreasonable hour? Well, il was none of my business, and a half a dozen times I determined not to concern myself about it. But it was in She rose from her chair, and with one long, loud, and most unearthly shriek she fell upon the floor ! Dr. Rowne's knees smcte each other and he shrunk back to the farthest corner of the room. "Who are you?" gasped he "Well, we'll try to hang vou," he sa'd. There was an expression of gratitude in Rolfe's eye as he replied: "Thank you. That will ease my con science." The Judge again knocked the ashe3 from his pipe, and spoke : "Well, come here in half an hour. I'll try to get a jury." Rolfe and myself, laying our pipes on the table, were about leaving when the Of course, I was very much surprised Judge asked us to drink, which having al this singular reception. Long famil- done, we bade turn good morning, iarity with the dead had made me so in different to these dreads and fears which distutbe many persons, thai I had little consideration for nervousness on this sub ject. "Who are you?" groaned the doctor, hi? teeth chattering with terror. At the expiration of half an hour we returned when he found some twelve men drinking and smoking with xh. mag istrate, awaiting us. We were politely requested to sit down.

I threw off the ouilt, and told the doc tor who I was. "See what you have done!" said he. pointing to" the protiat3 form of the lady. I heard a voice heie. and Lcame for .i " Whereupon Rolfe repeated the state ment he had before m:tde, 'Now, gentlemen," continued the first speaker, "I wish to say, if this gentle man Mr. Rolfe your name is, eh well, there's iome fine old brandy, make your self perfecily at home whe:her( gen tlemen, you find John Rolfe guilty, cr not guilty, of murder.
