BOSTON, MONDAY, MAY' 5, 1834.

No. 1.]
The Fugitive.

Thre urc few things more destructive

to our pence and hapmess in this world,
than frequent fits of violent and uncontrolable anger. For besidts the present
uneasiness occasioned by the inordinate
indulgence of this passion, it often gives
occasion for future repentance, and per
haps is succeeded by the most poignant
regret.
A few years ago there appeared in the
city of New York a young man who ex
cited no ordinary degree of attention.
He was, in all likelihood, a native of this
country, but from what particular section
he hid come, was an impenetrable myste
ry. On his 'arrival he was a perfect stran
ger in the city, but he had subsequently
formed much acquaintance in the iray cir
cles ot society, mid among the literary
amateurs, to whom his classical attain
ments always rendered him an accepta
ble companion. He passed by the name
of Moreton, but if ,any person were so
inquisitive as to wish to become acquaint
ed with his family history, his place of
nativity, oi the circumstances of his l*>rrner life, the inquiry was immediately
checked by the most haugr -/ reserve, and
sometimes even with viable resentment.
These peculiariti. for * time, passed
with little ubservr-tion, as Moreton ap
peared to be w-altliy, and his conduct,
which was ul,'foimly uptight and honor
able fori):' lp the suspicion that he had
been nuil'^ ^ anv unworthy action much
less of a.v cr(me that might affix a stigma
on hischarac,erAni'nS ll,e families he had been accustomi'd1 to visit was that of Mr. Selby, a
er.Ieman ofgrent respectability, who had
j,(l merly been engaged in mercantile purg,ils, but having acquired a large foitune
j,; had retired from business, and taken
, p his residence in a beautiful villa about
.wo miles from the city. His dwelling
tvas adorned with all the rural decorations
that wealth could furnish, or a refined
and even romantic taste could su.!gett.
, But the chief ornament was his daugh
ter Clarissa, whose beauty was an univer
sal theme of admiration, and whose worth
was proportioned to her beauty.
There appeared to he a congeniality
between the minds of Clarissa and Moreton, and in that case, conversational in
tercourse only is necessary to create a
mutual attachment. This opportunity was
not wanting,nnd the attachment followed
of course. Oh, how important is it for
females to use the utmost circumspection
before they suffer their -affections to be
engaged by the assiduity and insinuating
manners of their admirers! Clarissa did

not want discretion, but,. her character

was tinged with romance.which often per
verts the best natural abilities. The pro
gress of love is sometimes like the ad
vance ofa consumption, sure though imperceptable. It was thus in the present
instance ; before the parties became aware of their situation, they were deeply
involved in that tender regard for each
other, which with minds of real sensibili
ty, is not frequently evanescent.
Moreton and Clarissa seemed entranced
in the delicious anticipations of their fu
ture happiness, but were soon awakened to
present suffering and painful realities.
There are many persons who will take
as much pains to accomplish the misery
of others as to advance their own welfare.
Of this number was Maria Caldwell ;
deficient in personal charms herself, she
cnuceald in her bosom the most inveterate
spite against those who possessed the ad
vantages of beauty. She was intimate
with Claris* a,but that innocent and unsusppcting girl had never discover.l this
detectable trait in her character.
Maria envWd Clarissa her elegant ad
mirer,, and revolvoi. in her mind some
plan to disappoint what she knew to be
the wishes of her artless acquaintance.
Whether the demon himself suggests ex
pedients to his agen/s,or whether vicious
people are naturally more fruitful in the
invention ofschemes than others, we know
not ; it is certain, however, that when a
wicked design is once formed, mer.ns are
seldom wanting to carry that design into
execution. Whenever Moreton was men
tioned in her presence, Maria assumed
a look of perplexity, and sometimes even
let fall expressions of doubt and suspicion.
For some time this conduct was slight
ly observed, but at length even the un
suspecting Clarissa was alarmed, and one
day addressed Maria as follows:
"For the sake of heaven, my friend, tell
me what you know of Moreton, or of what
you suspect him; I observe there is some
thing in your thoughts which you have a
reluctance to reveal ; but you know the
engagement between Moreton and my
self ; you know also that this engagement
will probably be consummated in a short
time by a matrimonial union; ifyou there
fore, know any thing to his disadvantage,
it is your duty, as my friend, to make the
disclosure." To which Maria replied:
" I should little deserve the name of
your friend, my dear Clarissa, if I forebore to speak when your most important
interests are concerned. I should be un
worthy of your regard, if I suffered the
happiness of your life to be destroyed
without making any effort to prevent it.

[Price One Cent.

It is true, I suspect Moreton, and methinks there is great room for suspicion.
Whence did he come ' Would any
'man, who enjoyed the consciousness of
rectitude, refuse to divulge the place of
lus.natjvity and former residence ? Is not
such a refusal itself a presumption of
guilt r And again, have you not observed
a gloom cantering over his countenance
even while he was in your presence? I
do most firmly believe that that gloom is
occasioned by remorse for some concealed
and criminal action. But could you ser
iously think of marrying a man under such
circumstances? I hope your prudence
itself will prevent such an inconsiderate
step." It will be seen that Maria rea
soned here with some accuracy, and only
a good motive was wanting to make her
conduct exemplary. Her words had the ,
desired effect; Clarissa sat some momr,'s
in silence and dejection: *,.'. 'length she
raised her he.vi, and answered in the fol
lowing words.
"It was always ny intention to demand
some explanation of his mysterious con
duct, and my belief that he would give it.
It was my belief also that his reserve
was occasioned by some painful circum
stance in his former life, but I never sus
pected him of any thing criminal.
When next we meet, however, if he re
fuses to account for his extraordinary be
haviour, he shall see me no more."
Maria commended this resolution, and
soon nfter took leave of Miss Selby.
For the first time in her life, the latter
experienced mental anguish and painful
suspence, which is thought by some to bo
more intolerable than certainty itself.
Maria had scarcely been gone an hour
before Moreton entered the apartment.
He perceived that Clarissa had been
weeping, and tenderly inquired the cause
of her distress. She told him without re
serve, and earnestly requested to know
whether it was in his power to clear up
those suspicions which had arisen con
cerning bis character.
Moreton became agitated in his turn,
"Miss Selby," said he, "I have request
ed you to excuse me on this point ; cart
you imagine no circumstance wherein
such concealments would be desirable?
But tell me who they are who have en
deavoured to fill your mind with distrust,
and I will make them acknowledge their
error."
" The persons who suggested
these suspicions," said Clarissa, "are my
friends, and have been prompted by their
solicitude for my welfare. To conrince
us of our error, yoo must remove the
causes which gave rise to our erroneous
impressions. In short Mr. Moreton, how-

ever painful a seperation may be to my

own feelings, I can never be yours' while
you preserve this mysterious silence."
This conversation continued for some
considerable time ; Moreton used every
argument and entreaty to induce Clarissa
to give up the inquiry but she was not to
be moved from her purpose, and her per
tinacity almost drove him to phrenzy.
Starting from his seat, he exelaimed".Sliss
Selby, I have done; your object is gained;
it is my unhappy destiny that pursues me,
and I find it is in vain to contend with
that destiny. I will unveil this mystery,
and then we must part forever.

SECOND EDITION.

A SAILOR'S LOVE SONG.

BOSTON', MONDAY, MAY 5, tS34.

( The following was handed us by a true blue

sailor, and as such we hope it will reach his
"lady love." It smells of tar and sentiment.)

It is a modern fashion to give .in expose of future

editorial courses in the newspaper re.ee, and to
promise twice as much as it ever intends to per
form, as also to very modestly insinuate that t lie
editor is very liberally educated and knows about
all matters and things which were, have been,
or were to be, in the moral, political, or reli
gious world. Pusji'in^ an opposite course, we
shall pretend to know nothing of any, each, or
either ; taking things as they fall uptn us, and
looking on them as ihey fall.
One word in conclusion, the times require a
popu'ar pnper, "open to all and influenced by
none" alias, a white blackbird. We publish
one, and if it be for the interest of the com
munity to support us, they will do it. Intelligence

Scarce had the first gleam (if light sil

vered the mount mi's brow, when the once
beloved and lovely, but now ruined Be
linda, arose from her couch, nnd walked
forth to inhale the pleasant, but to her,
unwelcome breezes of morn. The choral songsters bad already tuned their ma
tins on the budding spray ; the little lamb
kin frolicked amid the verdant mead ;
and the finny tribes held gambols in the
refluent pool. The serenity ofthe atmo
sphere, the echoing noise of a neighbor
ing fountain, the frugrance ofthe flowers,
and the elegance ofthe prospect, were to
her objects void of interest or pleasure,
and no longer capable of amusing her in
her morning rambles.
Long had she been accustomed to take
a diurnal hour, and walk into the fields
to contemplate and admire the beauties
ofthe dawning year ; and often had she
pictured to herself, with the florid pencil
of fancy, a brilliant scene of undiminishing delights. But alas ! human felicity
exists but for a day, and the pictures uf
imagination only please and dnzzel for
a m ' inent.
Belinda had loved, fondly loved, the
perfidious Amintor. Her on)y foible was
an unsuspecting heart, to lavish esteem.
Unversed in the secret villanies of a
base and degenerate world, she ever im
agined all mankind were a* spotless as
herself. Fatal credulity ! of how much
misfortune and misery art thou the source.
By his persuasive flattery and external
charms, and under the most solomn prom
ises of matrimony, the treacherous Amin
tor ensured her susceptible heart, and be'
trayed her female innocence His ends
answered ; his black designs accomplish
ed: he fled, and left his victim unprotec
ted and undone.
8he seated herself upon a mossy stone,
and mournful as the murmuring of the
waving willow, when ruffled by tho npproaching storm destined to trouble the
eve of an expiring autumn, rose the sigh of
the sorrow-stricken Belinda'"Where,"
she exclaimed, ''where is the perjured
Amintor, who but yesterday trod this
path with me ? Where is the wretch
who has robbed me of my peace, my mind
of its innocence, and my fair fame of its
honor ? Within the walls ofthe sacred
temple, and at the still more sacred altar,
he has insulted his God by staining his
sanctuary with unhallowed vows. The
thunders of Heaven will Dot sleep ; ven

geance will visit injustice ; and Belinda's

death will not pass unmarked in the
dreadful records of injured innocence."
She spake and beneath the spreading
branches of an elm, sought shelter from
the now scorching rays of day's proud lu
minary, which gave rueful splendor to her
tears ; rushing from her heart, they fell
undistinguished among the gems of the
morning. Her sensibility was too refined
to sustain the reproach of a censorious
world. She raised her drooping eyes to
Heaven, and implored for death at the
shrine of mercy ; but her soul revolted at
the idea of self destruction.
She arose and discovered a moulder
ing ruin, situated in the centre of an ad
joining groye. Thither she bent her way,
and resolved to die in solitude, away from
the reach ofscorn and contempt. "There,
at least," she exclaimed, "resides the
Genius of Solitude: the ncouige of
vice, the gentle reclaimer of error, and
the friend of virtue."She entered, and
seated herself upon a time-worn stool,
scarcely sufficient to support her. Day
after day she would call to mind her for
mer happiness, and then the perfidy of
Amintor would take the place ol pleasing
retrospection, which memory, faithful to
her trust, had engraven upon the tablet
of her heart. It was more than her noble
mind could be /r ; she yielded to the force
of grief, nnd diedthe victim of seduc
tion.
The sequel. The poignancy of re
morse and guilt, with all its infernal reti
nue, assailed the disordered imagination
ofthe depraved Amintor. The untime
ly death of Belinda, of which he heard
shortly after the discovery of the corpse,
by a servant ofthe family who had been
hunting in the wood, damped all his en
joyments. Reflection resumed her vio
lated empire, and the lustre of the gay
phantoms of pleasure diminished, and

tions of his viliany . Sensible of bis guilt ,
he was haunted with all the solicitude of
a persecuted conscience ; his mind sunk
into a desponding melancholy, reason was
driven from her throne, and he diedhe

The pleasures of tbe libertine are of
short duration ; guilt wilt destroy the
bliss ofthe seducer, and a wounded con
science, with all the horrors of remorse,
will haunt their imagination, and intrude
upon their evening, jo-ys. Ye who inhale

The Wife.
Woman's love, like the rose blossom
ing in the arid desert, spreads its rays
over the barren plain ofthe human heart,
and while all around it is barren and des
olate, it rises more strengthened from
the absence of every other charm. In
no situation does the love of woman ap
pear more beautiful, than in that ofa wife;
parents, brethren, friends, have claim
upon the affections; but the love of a wife
is of a distinct and different nature. A
daughter may yield her life to the preser
vation of a parent, a sister may devote
herself to a suffering brother, but the
feelings which induce her to this conduct
are not such as those which lead the wite
to follow the husband of her choice
through every pain and peril that can be
fall him, to watch over him in danger, to
cheer him in adversity, and even to re
main unalterable at his side in the dep! lis
of ignominy and shame. It is an heroic
devotion which a women displays in her
adherence to tho fortunes of a helpless
husband; when we behold her in domes
tic scenes, a mere passive creature of
enjoyment, an intellectual toy, brighten
ing the family circle with her endear
ments, and prized for the extreme joy
which that presence, and those endearmcants are calculated to impart, we
scarcely credit that the fragile being, who
seems to hold her existence by a thread,
is capable of supporting the extreme of
human suffering; nay, when tbe heart
of man sinks beneath the weight ofagony
that she should maintain her pristine
powers of delight, and by her stores of
comfort and of patience, lead the dis
tracted murrourer to peace and resigna
tion.
Man profits by connection with the
world; but woman never; their consti
tuents of mind are different,the princi
ples of thought and action are moulded
variously, and where the character of
man is dignified and ennobled, that of
woman becomes reduced and degraded.
The one is raised and exalted by min
gled associations, thei purity of the other
is maintained in .seclusion and silence.
Woman was created by the great giver
of all good, as the helpmate of man;

formed in a superior, though more fragile

and delicate mould, endowed with purer
and better feelings,stronger and more
exalted affections, to play a distinct char
acter in the great drama of the created
world;in fact, to reward the toil and
labors of man. God made her not man's
slave, neither to buffet the billows of the
troubled sea of life,the jaring elements
of public duties; but to share his plea
sures, to console his troubled thoughts,
to joy with him in his joy, and exalt his
happiness by her participation, and to
ameliorate his griefs by kindness and en
dearments. Connection with the world
destroys those finer traits of feeling.
She beholds man in all his aspects stalk
ing abroad, the creature of evil, the
slave of debased thoughts, the destroyer
of innocence, the despoiler of all that is
bright and beautiful, and the scenes of
guile, of fraud, and villainy that meet the
eyes, glances at every turn gradually stifle
the feelings of woman, and at length
destrey that unsophisticated purity of
soul, or if you will, those feelings of ro
mance, which, niter all, are the best
and the most productive of happiness in
the sex which
'Heaven made'to temper man.'
Infancv What more lovely,tell
roe, any parent,tell me, any feeling
child of Adam, what more beautiful than
sleeping infancy?the closed eye, with
its long lashes, and its lids laced by the
tine threads of hetlthy blood, matched by
nothing but heaven's own clear azure, the
lightly heaving breast that no passionate
dream yet convulses, ihe cheek shaming
the very rote-leaf which the gentle breath
from the parting of the perfumed lips
would scarcely shake? Who, that has
watched this, has not felt his heart to be
full with the influences of that fairest em
blem, remaining among the Maker's vis
ible works, of the glories of primeval
innocence ?
How often do we mourn the depraved in
tellects ofthose who have suffered themselves
to be led away by some alluring vice ; attri
buting it to some natural depravity, without
one thought but that it originated with life,
and would he eradicated hut in the grave,
but how mistakenthose very passions which
now seem so uutameable, may be but the per
verted streams from a pure fountain, which
have been turned from their channel and be
come incorporated with the filth of some
stagnant bog ; but which can again by care
and labour, be returned to their proper chan
nel. Let us then endeavor to impress upon
the minds of youth the necessity of giving a
right direction to the mind, that they he not
drawn into the vortex of pleasure, and crime,
to become the victims of remorseor entan
gle themselves in ambition's lure, and make
life mere fuel tor pride, and themselves miser
able ; but rather seek to be useful and per
form the duty allotted them, and those pas
sions which otherwise would cause much
misery, will in the exercise of duty, cheer
us with their vigorous and enlightening influ
ence.

Editorial Courtest.Of this, when
they exhibit none toward each other, we
cannot compliin of the lack of it toward
us. With few exceptions, we are glad
to meet with their neglect, for their notice
would be any thing but praise. Setting
our face toward our own object, we de
cline both their notice and pretended
friendship, only asking their neglect and
silence.It gives us the happy privilege
of spreading the truth of all and each,
which we shall exercise as a right, and
not be under the onerous burthen of ob
ligation.Our step shall be firm, even if
placed on the forlorn hope.
"Our foot is on our native sod,
Our step upon its heather."
Men of sense in all cases will support their
own views so far as they are before the public,
and kick a paper and its editor to the d I when
they find oat they are gulled. A considerable
gumming has been used under the title of workingmen. Bah ! every man is a workingman
who does right by himself and neighbors ; a
name does not designate a party of individuals
any jnore than our common air makes men,
women and children; let each man do right,
think right and practice what he believes to be
just, and we will join them, until then we be
long to no party. If there be a working men's
party who are divested of religious and political
purposes and intend " to be just and fear not,''
we will join them, but if not, and the whole
workey scheme means the Cuckoo process of
lifting out the hedge sparrow's nestlings to
give place to themselves, then the tramp of an
independent editor should be heard in its march
through the silent broker houses of the honest
merchant's credit;but neither honesty, truth,
or talent can weigh a feather against those pre
tended patriots, the genteel rich monied va
grants of the soil who have giown fat by feed
ing on the "vitals of the common weal." But
those walking hyenas who prey on both living
and dead, and who first depreciate and then
prey upon their dying and dead victims, shall
learn that gold is not brains.
Small Talk. The rich, leave only a
splendid Mausoleum over their quondam avari
cious bones the virtuous, pure, ui spotted, and
by their God, made morally beautiful, live full
a year in the hearts of those who knew them,
and the patriot goes down to his silent home of
the dead, and possibly his grandchild m<iy hear
in half a century that their progenitor was a
brave man and an honest christian ! But what
absorbs the views of every man at all times.'
what gladdens the sombre shades of the wi

its endeared parent, not only endurable, but
seemingly pleasant } What makes the future

science sit in her neglected hall, sense pore over
her useless diagrams to find out truth, and rea

to please the ruling fashion or folly of the day,
that we and the little world who read may
laugh, quaff and be merry. We shall not be
thus grave in our " small talk" hereafter, but

states thut he has been ' officially' requested to
offer a reward of 100 dollars, a porcupine
saddle, and a hard trotting horse, for the real
name of the editor of the ' Experiment. If
Mr B. Hammatt Norton were to give a respon
sible guaranty lor the 'Reward,' there would
be less fear of its being nortonized, as some
things have hitherto been 'officially' done with
in the remembrance of the aforesaid sapient of
the Daily News.
The author of the ' official ' offer in ' The
News,' seems disposed to bully. He threatens
the eduor of the Expei iment with a rough ride.
Such a spirit ought to be rebuked and he the 'offi

commonwealth not to be frightened by tl.e hoot

Pasting Counterfeit Money.A young

man from the country was charged with
knowingly offering a counterfeit $I0 bill
of the Suffolk Bank, at the Box Office of
the Tremont Theatre. Unfortunately
tor him, when questioned by Air Gratis
and Mr Clnpp, he stated that he had ta
ken the bill nt a store, in Charlestown,
where he had been trading in hats ; but
when Mr Clapp went over there, he as
certained that this was not the fact ; and
the man was ordered to regonize in the
sum of 8300, to take his trial at the Mu
nicipal Court, and was committed for
the want thereof. Three very respecta
ble witnesses testified to his good stan
ding and character, in his native place,
and it is very doubtful whether he knew
the bill was spurioust, but it is pretty
certain that he suspected it to be so.

The Last Relic.

*' And must this dear token be parted
with to satisfy the insatiate avarice of
on unfeeling landlord," sorrowfully mur
mured the unfortunate and reduced Mrs.
Walton, as she gazed mournfully upon a
diamond ring which had been presented
to her by her deceased husband a few
days previous to her marriage.
James Walton was a sea captain, and
was in affluent circumstances when he
took the amiable and acomplished Miss
Wordeti to his bosom. Prosperity crown
ed his exertions, and fortune smiled on
all his commercial speculations, for a se
ries of years, during which time his
adored wife had given to his arms two
lovely daughters, Jane and Eliza.
At length loss after loss came upon
him and his property dwindled down to
a few thousands. He yet however had
enough to support his family; but in an
unlucky moment he vested his all in one
venture; and sailed himselt on his last
voyage, in the hopes of disposing of his
cargo better than another one could do
for him. On arriving at his destined
port, sickness seized him and the fell
destroyer, Death, shortly numbered him
as a victim for the grave. His property
was sacrificed, and the proceeds squan
dered by those into whose hands it unfor
tunately was consigned.
The blow came like a thunderbolt on
the wretched Mrs. Waltonyet she sur
vived the heart-rending intelligence of
her widowhood, and the inevitable pov
erty to which she was now reduced. She
curtailed all her expenses, and hired but
one solitary room for herself and daugh
ters: disposed of all her superfluous fur
niture, and deprived herself of all the
luxuries, nay, even many of the necessa
ries nf life.
A year or two rolled on, aud Jane and

Eliza, who had just entered their teens,

began to see the daily distress that agi
tated their beloved parent; and every
quater-day added fresh distress to the
wretched mother. She had parted with
every thing that was valuable in her pos
session except this ring. It was the last
relic that remained as a token of remem
brance of her departed husband.
" Alas! it must go," at length said she,
putting it back into a small box where it
had lain since her circumstances had be
came too reduced to wear an ornament
of such value.
"O give it to me, ma," said Jane, as a
thundering rap was heard at the door,
and in a moment Mr. Heardheart entered
unceremoniously and took a seat.
" This is quarter-day, mm," said he;
" I called to see if you had made out my
rent?"
" I have not as yet, sir," replied Mrs.
Walton; " but I will endeavor to get it
for you by to-morrow."
" I can't wait until the morrow.I
must have it to-day, or you budge, bag
and baggage." retorted the unfeeling
landlord, rising and moving towards the
door, out of which he started as uncere
moniously as he entered.
" Unfeeling man," said Mrs. Walton,
as he disappeared, and the tears started
to her eyes as she cast them upon her
two daughters, who sat looking sorrow
fully at her.
" How much do we owe Mr. Heard
heart, ma?" innocently asked Jane.
" More than I am able to pay, my dear
children," answered Mrs. Walton, rising
and putting on her things and telling Eli
za to accompany her.
She took the box containing the valu
able relic with a heavy heart; and fol
lowed by Eliza, reached a pawn-broker's
establishment, which with downcast eyes,
she immediately entered;and so intent was
she absorbed on the distresses of her si
tuation, that she scarcely noticed the
crowd that was in the room.
'' I wish to dispose of this ring, sir,"
said she laying the box upon the coun
ter.
There was something in the tones of
her voice that was thrilling and mourn
ful and in an instant all eyes were di
rected towards her.
" How much do you expect on this,
mam," said the clerk, examining the
sparkling stone that glistened in the
ring.
" I wish for its value only, sir," re
plied Mrs. W. in a confused and still sor
rowful voice.

[Price One Cent.

''I can only let you have half its value,

mam," said the clerk.
'' Pay her its whole value, Mr Screwhard," said a voice from an old weatherbeaten gentleman: " I will purchase it
of you to the utmost extent of the price
you give.*'
The clerk, counted out thrty dollars,
and Mrs. W. took it with a heavy heart,
casting her eyes mournfully upon the
ring and then turning them gratefully
towards the compassionate stranger, left
the shop; and returned to her habita
tion.
"Ah! this will satisfy him for this
time." said she, entering once more the
dwelling; " But the ring is gone, and
now not a token remains."
Soon after she returned from disposing
of her last relic, a rap was heard at the
door, and a man inquired for Mrs. Wal
ton, handing a package directed to her
neatly made up, on delivering which, he
immediately departed'
She broke the seal ofthe envelope, and
among a roll of bank-notes, she beheld
her ring with a slip of paper attached to
it, on which were these words''purt
with it no more."
Surprised at this singular, unexpected
return of the invaluable trinket, she in
stantly rose in hopes of again seeing the
bearer to make some inquiries; but he
had got out of sight.
' ' Who could have done this but the
stranger who spoke so compassionately
in the shop," thought she to herself, and,
again putting on her things, hurried to
the pawn brokers.
Here she inquired for the purchaser of
her ring, and learnt that it was the gen
tleman who was present when she dis
posed of it, who had bought the same
soon after her leaving the shop; and had
also departed immediately. His name or
place of residence the man of the shop
could not tell.
Mrs. W. returned home. The roll
of bank-bills contained five hundred dol
lars. She knew not what to do for some
time; at length making up her mind, re
solved to keep it until necessity compel
led her to dispose of any part of the munilicient present.
She put the ring in its accustomed
place, resolving to fulfill the words of her
unknown benefactor, and "part with it no
more."

She never heard of her benefactor af

ter this; but never ceased to remember
that unbounded generosity in a stranger
which had preserved her comparatively
rich and happy.

A DAY BEHIND THE FAIR.

A somewhat ludicrous scene occurred yester
day morning, about 8 o'clock, at a boarding
house in the Bowery. Two young men arrived
there the day previous (one of whom was the
nephew of the lady who keeps the house.) and
engaged a private sitting room and a bed room
for two or three weeks. The nephew intro
duced his companion as a fellow clerk with him
in a mercantile house at Hartford Conn, (which
since turns ont to he the fact,) and stated that
they had come to New York merely for the pur
pose of seeing theplace and paying their respects
to the aunt. The old lady, pleased with this
mark of affection on the part of the nephew, pre
pared the best bed-room in the house for their
reception, set before them the best fare she had,
and did all in her power to make them comfor
table. Being fatigued, as they said, with their
journey, they retired to rest very early and did
not rise till near 8 next morning; they had but
just sat down to breakfast, when a hasty knock
was heard at the door, at which the youngest
of the two was observed to betray no slight de
gree of uneasiness. In a minute or two after
wards the room doer was entered somewhat ab
ruptly by an elderly gentleman, evidently in a
violent passion, who advanced towards the el
dest of the two, and after applying divers un
dignified epithets to him, was about to try the ef
fects of bis cane upon the shoulders of the young
man; when the noise brought up the aunt, who
flew at the old gentleman like a tigress defend
ing one of her cubs. On the arrival of three or
four of the boarders, something like order was
restored; when the youngest of the two stran
gers was discovered 'to have fainted away. The
youth was lifted on to a sofa, bis stock was re
moved, and the collar of his shirt unbuttoned to
facilitate his breathingwhen (oh, shade of
chaste Dian! tell it not in Gath!) there was re
vealed to sight the snowy bosom of as pretty
a lass as e'er ** brush'd dew from lawn."
"The lovely strangoajtay confess'd,
A wife, in all her chirms."
It seems that the young lady was the daugh
ter of the old gentleman, who with a view to
economy, had caused her to assist his clerk in
keeping his books; the young couple, thus
thrown, nothing loth, into each other's way,
made such good use of their time, that the old
gentleman, on entering the counting room rath
er unexpectedly one morning, found them keep
ing tally with their lips instead of their pens;
upon which he sent his daughter to reside with
her grandmother, at Wethersfield. She con
trived, however, to send to and receive letters
from her lover, in which they planned the elope
ment. How successful it was put in execution,
our readers are already aware. They left Hart
ford so as to get several hours start of the fath
er, who did not reach New York until 6 o'clock
yesterday morning; and suspecting that they
would put up at the aunt's house, made his way
there immediately on arriving in the city. He
was, however, too lafe the young couple had
contrived to have the hymenial knot tied on the
afternoon of their arrival. We presume this step
was taken to avoid the risk incurred in publish
ing their intention to marry, which mode of
procedure is required by the laws of the state of
Connecticut. How the affair will terminate we
know not, as the parties all left New York for
Hartford yesterday afternoon, but as the father
was, in a double sense, 'aday behind the fair,"
we would advise him to pocket the affront, and
put the best face that he can upon the matter.

Ijflcy Ellenwood.
With tfipse who have never left the
home oHfiieir childhood, the thousand
graticatifions and enjoyments that apper
tain to, and are associated with this de
lightful spot, are not appreciated. But let an
. exile, like myself, from his paternal man
sion again visit the scenes of his earlier
years he will thtn learn that the bloom of
his happiness was passed away at Jus own
beloved home. For my own part, I have
spent many an hour of my life in com

learned and the witty, or where the smiles
of beauty delight the heart; but the pleas
ures were momentarythey were unlike
the pure joys that arise in the breast of
one who after a long absence again re
turns to his paternal roof.
I had the ill fortune, at the age of
twenty, to be sent to Philadelphia, as a
clerk for my uncle, living in Chesnutstreet. Many were' the tears shed pre
vious to entering the carriage which was
to covey me from my father's happy
dwelling, to the busy hum of a crowded
city, but the oft-repeated consolations of
my friends, that my uncle would be kind
to me, and the idea that there was a vast
deal of novelty in a city life, did, in some
small measure alleviate my grief. Yet
when the pyting camewhen I took the
last lingering look of the old but noble
mansion, partially seen through the trees
before it, I felt a sensation, the recollec
tion ofwhich will never be effaced till my
dying day. We arrived at Philadelphia
after a pleasant journey of two days. I
found my uncle, as he had been repre
sented, an amiable man, and his family
were all assiduous in their attention to
render me happy. But, for weeks after
my arrival, I would set in the door, (when
my business within would permit) and

' Variety's the very spice of life."
Women are greatly deceived when
they think that they recommend them
selves to the other sea by an indifference
to religion. Every man . who knows hu
man nature, connects a religious feeling
with softness and sensibility of heart. At
least we always consider the want of it a
proof of that masculine spirit, which of
all your faults we dislike tho most. Be
sides, men consider your religion as the
best security for that female virtue in
which they are most sensibly interested.
Never indulge yourselves in ridicule
on religious subjects, nor give counte
nance to it in others by seeming diverted
in whafthey say.This, to people of
good understanding willjae^ a sufficient
check.
Let a woman bo decked with all the
embellishments, of art and the gifts of na
tureyet, if boldness is to be read in
her face, it blots all the lines of beauty.
Modesty is not only an ornament, but al
so a guard to virtue. It is a delicate
feeling in the soul, which makes her
shrink and withdraw herself from the ap
pearance of danger. It is an exquisite
sensibility, that warns her to shun tho
approach of every thing hurtful.
A poor pun will sometimes answer a
good purpose. A baker once calling up
on Mr. Justice Jones of Coventry, with
the last loaf in his basket, was observed
as he returned through the court yard to
lay hold of a fat goose, on which his wor

MV GIRLISH DAYS.
When I was young I loved the boys,
And now I love the men;
And 0, to taste those artless joys,
I'd be a girl again.
I'd ramble o'er each flowery field,
To where the berries redden;
Some lad should go with me to yield
Kind offices unbidden.

He'd bring each flower its head that rear'd,

And help me o'er the brook;
And when a pretty bird appear'd,
Cry out, "Oh Jenny, look."
If a poor cow should frighten me,
He'd drive her out of sight;
And if a snake we chanced to see,
He'd kill the beast outright.

Adelaide Lavorne.
About fifteen years ago, there lived
upon the banks of the Mohawk, in the
town of Herkimer, a family of the name
ot Lavorne. They had come to seek in
Republican America, that peace and hap
piness, which they had not found in a life
in Pai is; and chance led them to the spot
of which we speak. Theirs was a love
ly situation. The duelling-house, though
low, was neatly and beautifully finished,
and it stood entirely concealed from the
notice of the passer-by, behind a thick
row of tall trees, which, casting their
thick shadows upon it, gave it a lonely,
but pleasent appearance. At a little dis
tance from the house, flowed the Mo
hawk, a pure rippling stream, now and
then sending forth gentle murmurs, from
the action of the still gentler breeze,
and joining its music with that of the birds
which upon its snug bright sunny banks.
In a word,
" Nature in all her loveliness, was there."
The family consisted of Mr. Lavorne
his wife, two sons and a daughter. The
daughter, who was the oldest of the three
children, was then I7 years of age; and
she was, indeed, a beautiful girl. Ac
customed, as she had formerly been, to
the example and society of persons of the
first rank, and having received, nlso, an
excellent education, she was, as might be
expected, an accomplished ycung lady.
She was not, however, as most young la
dies of high birth and exalted ciicumstatices are, bred in ease und idleness, or
kept in ignorance of the relative domes
tic duties, which, as a wife and a mother,
she might be called to sustain. As I have
said, she was singularly beautiful. The
mellow light, whic'.i fell from beneath her
long black eyelashes, the continual smile
I that played so fondly upon her lips, and

the dark, polished curls, which fell in

such wild luxuriance and careless grace
fulness about her finely formed neck,
conspired to make her so. She had a
heart, withal, unconscious of guilt, and
as light and buoyant as the heart of a

Fairy.
The fame of her beauty soon spread
through that and the surrounding villa
ges, and many a favored beau tried in
vain to win the heart of the fair for
eigner. To none did she show more
than ordinary civility and politeness, ex
cept Alfred Dermott. He was a young
man from New York, of accomplished
manners, and a superior education. He
loved Adelaide with all the fervency and
devotedness of first love; he visited her
often, and by his agreeable manners and
intelligent conversation, gained complete
ly the affection and esteem of both parents
Hnd daughter. He resided in Herkimer
through the spring and summer, profes
sedly to regain his health, which had be
come somewhat impaired in the stifled
air of the city of New York. In the
course of the summer, a young man of
the name of Barnard, with whom Dermott had been slightly acquainted in the
city, called upon him. Naturally of a
lively and gay disposition, and having no
professed business from the city, he hesi
tated not to accept the invitation of Permott to spend a day or two with him.
In a short time, they visited Miss La
vorne, and always from each successive
visit, did Barnard return more pleased
than before. One evening, as they en
tered the post office, arm in arm, Bar
nard started back from the door, without
speaking a word, and, leaving his friend,
pursued his way rapidly and ailently to his
lodgings. Dermotl, on reaching home,
enquired the reason of it, but all the ans
wer that Barnard made to his enquiries,
was, that there was a man in the office at
tho time, whom he did not wish to see.
Ke appeared very much agitated, withal,
and Dermott had too much civility to
push the subject farther. As soon as
light the next morning, Barnard took his
leave of Dermott, and immediately left
the village.
With Dermott, matters went smoothly,
he continuing his professions of attach
ment to Adelaide, imd finally, before his
leaving for New York, had gained the
consent of the lovely girl to be bis; but
concluded it best to leave the after part,
until he should return from New York,
the following spring. He made enqui
ries respecting Barnard, on his arrival
there, and found that he had forged a

[Price One Cent.

check, to a large amount on one of the

Banks, and absconded with the money.
Thus, then the mystery was solved, and
Dermott easily saw the motive of his
leaving Herkimer so suddenly. The of
ficers who were in pursuit of him, could
get no information respecting him, and,
after a long and friutless search, gave it
up, and returned to new York.
Some time after the transactions of
which I have last spoken, Dermott hap
pening to go on board a merchantman in
the harbor, on some business, observed a
man handsomely dressed, and of gentle
manly appearance, leaning carelessly against the cabin door, apparently ab
solved in reflection. The stranger turned
his attention to them, however, several
times, during the low conversation be
tween Dermott and the captain, nnd soon
turned to go down the cabin slnirs. The
light fell full and. fair upon his face, from
below, and showed plainly the face of
Barnard! Dermott started involuntarily,
but, recolrecting himself, he finished
quickly his business on board, and pro
ceeded directly to the Police office, to in
form them of the fact. Without delay,
they started for the ship; but found all
hands asleep, nnd the cabin closed.
When morning came, she was gone, but
the officers, in company with Dermott,
jumped on board a small steamer, and
put off in pursuit. It was not many
hours before they overtook her, with
scarcely a breath of air, to stir her hang
ing pennant. Dermott, with two officers,
put off to her in a boat, and soon stood
upon her deck. Making known their
business to the captain, and expressing
their determination to examine bis pas
senger, they advanced to the cabin door,
when a loud shriek, as of a female, was
heard from below. The captain and of
ficers went immediately down, and Dor
mott was about to follow, when, lo! the
features of his loved Adelaide, as she was
supported in a chair by the captain, met
his view! Horror-stricken, he started
bark, and reeled across the deck. It aj
hut Co a moment. Recovering himself,
he again started for the cabin, but was
met at the entrance by Barnard, rushing
furiously up. Quick as thought, he
struck at Dermott, who as quick avoided
the blow, and grappled with all his
strength the throat of his antagonist.
The grasp was mutual. One struggle

" Have you lost a friend, a brother?
Heard a fathei's parting breath?
Gazed upon a lifeless mother,
Till she seem'd to wake from death?
The joy of grief."
Montgomery.
It was in tlie year '93, when the yellow
fever destined so large a portion of our city
for its victims, that a solitary being was
walking along
street, in a pace as
fast as his decripidated form would nllow.
The bustle, confused noise and distant
hum that now animate the city, form a
striking contrast to the melancholy pic
ture it then presented. ''Twos then as
the break of dawn is now, the general si
lence being only broken by the rattling
of distant carts.
Bodily and mental sufferings had re
duced his once noble form into a wan
and emaciated figure, the mere shadow
of itself. He was exerting the remaining
strengtli which an attack of the fever in
its greatest malignancy had left, to elude
the hospital by endeavoring to reach
the country.
It was his last resort;
though ignorant where he might find pro
tection.
With the name of a hospital,
indeed, humanity is blended; but at
this period, those hirelings
whom
high mercenary considerations induced
to attend the diseased, were least
susceptible of its noble dictates. The
hospital presented a scene more distres
sing than poverty in all the horrors of
starvation. Resting on his cratch, he
now and then paused to gaze on the de
serted dwelling of a well known friend,
while memory forced the tear of sorrow
to roll on his haggard cheeks. It was
one of the sultry days of August, and the
unfortunate being endeavored to avoid
the scorching beams of the sun, by re
treating to the shady side of the street.
The fatigue he had undergone, and that
natural depression of spirits attending
sickness at such a time and under such

circumstances, forced him to rest on a

marble step, where he insensibly felt into
a refreshing slumber.
" f will be a father to you," were lie
first words he heard upon waking; and
he was surprised to find himself lying on
a mattress, in a room perfumed, to coun
teract the baleful effects of the conta
gion.
He that spoke was a venerable old
man, whom, one might judge from his
whole mien, to be past seventy. He was
one of those few in whom philanthropy
seems to be innate, and tho' their deeds
shine in private, their lustre often will
penetrate the veil, with which the true
philanthropist endeavors to conceal them.
He was one of those whose virtues often
exist unknown and disrespected by the
world, and while they walk forth, attired
in the garb of Christianity, the cloak of
Religion does not distinguish them from
the hypocrite. Their benevolence is
alone actuated by the purest precepts of
Religion, as she points out a recompense
far .snore alluring than the obsequious ap
plause bestowed upon charitable perfor
mances when displayed to public admi
ration. A generous posthumous eulogium is the most that is paid the philan
thropist here. But to return to the scene
we left: Tho old gentleman, as he stood
anxiously gazing upon the pale invalid,
seemed to be lost in the intenseness of
his feelings, and while he considered the
looks of the youth a thought arose, the
suspicion was not ton doubtful to be re
pressed, that he knew him. Watching
every turn of fever, he was busied with
fluttering hopes for the object of his sol
icitude. In any one who could have be
held the scene, it would have roused up a
sublime feeling, and a glance at the phi
lanthropist would have caught his admi
ration. In the great drama of life, such
a tragedy bears the most admirable
though unseen part. He who hordes up
what he daily obtains, and in the acquire
ment of riches, and through selfish ag
grandizement, lives insensible of the du
ty he owes to his fellow men, should liehold this scene too, as it represents the
fairest, the noblest trait of the human
character.
The paternal expression of Medwyn,
(for such was the name of the philanthro
pist,) seemed to tiie dying youth almost
divine. It went to his heart a sigh es
caped him and " Heaven reward you,"
he said, but a sudden delirium oY fever
prevented him from saying more. U pon
tile intimation of Medwyn's name, the
dying person seemed to stare, he uttered

[Price One Cent.

some inaudible words, and his eyes

closed. Again they gently opened, and
displaying in his features some anxiety,
while a more placid turn seemed to ex
plain his gratitude, they closed forever.
Medwyn stood for a moment to contem
plate the picture, and in the benevolent
effusion of his heart, a few silent tears
moistened the withered features of the
philanthropist.
The interest t4ie youth excited in his
breast was unusual, but the cause was
inexplicable. His features were some
what strange and unknown, though the
idea of their resemblance to his broth
er's, was not altogether irreconcilable, and
it furthered the suggestion as he drew a.
miniature portrait from bis bosom. He
found a small Port Folio in possession of
the youth, in which the name of Charles
Medwyn was inscribed. It was now
clear to Medwyn that this was his nephew,
Charles had written a small narrative
which, if he did not survive the fever,
might inform those into whose hands he
fell, who he was
And it disclosed what
had hitherto remained unknown to his
uncle.
While Philadelphia' was laid a prey to
the most fatal disease, scenes of greater
desolation were exhibited in France. It
was during the reign of terror, ns the
French emphatically term it, that Char
les fled from Paris to seek refuge in his
native country. His father having gone
to the Indies, had long since been thought
to have paid the debt of nature. The
lover while ploughing the boisterous
ocean thinks only of the mistress of his
heart. The, ship, as she glided swiftly
along the blue waves of the Delaware,
leaving behind her the sparkling furrows,
seemed to move too slowly for this impa
tient youth. Landed on the shores ol his
native city, he immediately flies to his
paternal mansion, and soon finds himself
in the arms of his friends. Two lovely
sisters greet him with all the ardour of
fraternal affection; but to him it appear
ed as if something lurked under their joy

he feared to discover. But momentary
delusion was vain; he heard the heart
rending news of the death of her whom
he loved; his affliction was indeed great,
but Heaven had more in store. His

Medwyn " My brother," exclaimed he.
" Brother," cried Medwyn, as he fell in
to the arms of the father of Charles. In
the felicitous moment of their meeting,
the negroes drove off. It is almost un
necessary to say, that Thomas Medwyn
had returned from the Indies, and at the
greatest risk, came to discover the fate
of his family. They lived to see the re
turn of peace and happiness to their city,
to behold the rosy cheeks and cheerful
countenances and the smiles ofyouth and
age. But where are they now ? They
are gone.
In the fall of the last yearSept. I2,
was the first day some advertisements in
cipher appeared in a Morning paper,
they were continued at intervals till the
27th of February in the present year,
at least the one of that date is the last
which we have seen. A friend of ours,
who is skilful in deciphering assumed
characters and who thought at first that
some political mystery might be conceal
ed in thi* strange guise, took the trou
ble to examine the cipher minutely, and
soon discovered its key. The advertise
ments turn out to refer to an amatory,
and not a political intrigue. We will not

it seems te have become almost a general cus

maxim, handed down- to us, of "every man

Mr. Publisher, I bought one of your little for.os of last Saturday, and was much pleased with
it. I propose a few remarks on an article con
tained in it.
The Trial or TourYou state that "no
person can read the trial without being satisfied
that Hart was brutally murdered." 1 believe
that m, unprejudiced man could have heard the
trial without being satisfied that the Captain,
even if he did not give the death blow, per
mitted and sanctioned it, and the preceding and
subsequent brutality of the mate. He might
have stopped it any moment, and yet he per.
mined it to go on when the unfortunate man
was already so reduced and enfeebled, that ac
cording to the testimony of the captain's own
witness (Snowdon,,) ho fell down .' two or three
times" in walking from the quarterdeck where
ho had been scraping, to the pumps.
Still more, Mr. Editor, all the witnesses agree that when the poor soul was in this situa
tion, Capt. Tobey, ordered him " to pump out
the ship." And when the inoffensive and pa
tient creature said " yes, sir" end made the
effort, and bad not strength enough to handle
the brake, and was knocked down by somebody
and with something, the captain stood by, and

Him

aw his mate put a rope round the neck of the

man, drag him forward to the cathead, tie him
under it and keep him there three quarters of
an hour, with heavy seas breaking over him !
In all this, (the captain had struck no blow
with his own hand. ) I see if not an aiding and
abutting of murder, no title whatever to the euIdgies of a judge, or tho plaudits of the people!
Again, Mr. Editor, where was/he proptifily or
justice of cautioning the jury against the preju
dice of colored witnesses against a white man,
and passing over that of the white witnesses against colored rncn, and in favor of the accused
white ? Sir, these things surprized and distress
ed me. They may be drowned and submerged
for a time by general clamor, but there are
minds to which they will remain and reappear.
Another thing, Mr. Editor, if the mate com
mitted the murder, how is the captain to an
swer for permitting (be murderer to quit the
vessel at Richmond r Nay, n>ore, he actually
discharged him at that place ! " Because he
got intoxicated," says Snowdon, the second
mate ; and after saying this, the same Snowdon
in almost the same breath, said on the stand
that the mate "cleared because ha had killed
a man," and was afraid to come home. At the
primary examination four or five months ago,
this same Snowdon swore positively "that he
did not know why the mate bleared." On sev
eral other material points, Snowdon swore on
the trial diametrically opposite to what he did
on the examination, and this was proved but no
comments were made from the bench on his in
consistencies. Mr. Editor, if the mate should
over be caught and brought to trial for this
murder, we shall see whether he will not get off
by proving that the captain did it.

Playing Cards.The extract in your last
Gleaner upon this subject attracted my atten
tion for a minute. I believe that playing cards
were invented in Spain fos these reasons.
Spade is derived from espada, the Spanish for
sword, and the figure on the card, was original
ly a representation of a short cross-hilted cut
and thrust sword. This card is called in Span
ish literally espada, a sword, and the suit eipadai, swords.
Again, the word trump comes from triumpho,
a triumph, and such, the card, which sweeps
the board is called in Spanish.
Mr. Editor, I am very much delighted at the
introduction of these little cent newspapers, and
I think they may become an instrument of sound
knowledge and moral improvement to a large
class of people who have not hitherto thought
themselves able to pay several dollars a year
for a paper, and have thuslbeen deprived of one

cupation,

ving slipped the moment oj resigning his of-fice, and that was cviry moment since; that
by God he had rather be in his grave than
in his present situation." We doubt very
milch if W. ever made such an expres-1
sion; he was always calm and composed,
and irritated but very seldom; and ns to
profane language, no one but a Tory
would ever make the assertion. And
suppose Washington did make use ofsuch
an expression, why is it related in the
public prints at this time? Surely if
Washington had such a fault, it is no ex
cuse for the habitual profanity of Andrew
Jackson. Jackson said to a Committee.
' Go home and go to work, by God, gentle'
me/tj Andrew Jackson can take care ofthe
currency. ' There is a similarity in the
words used, we must acknowledge, but
the least similarity between the character
and general habits of the men is nowhere
to be found. It is blasphemy to compare
Andrew Jackson with the immortal Wash
ington, the saviour of his country, whose
imperishable fame will outlive monuments
of marble, whose memory will be venera
ted as long as our mountains stand. It
is truly degrading and much to be lamen
ted, that the faults of the sainted Wash
ington should be sought after, and em
blazoned in the public prints, to sustain
the sinking cause of the dotard Despot.
But such is the despairing cause of the
Tory party, that they are willing to open
the tombs of our sleeping heroes, and
bring in review before the World all their
faults, and magnify them a thousand fold,
to shield the disgusting deformity of an
old and superanuated transgressor. To
what a desperate situation must a party
be reduced, who would disturb the slee
ping ashes of the immortal Washington,
and repeat a profane word, which he is said
to have uttered nearly half a century ago,
in order to prove what no man of com
mon understanding can believe, that is,
that the least similarity exists between
Andrew Jackson and Gen. Washington.

AN ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE
DEPOSITS.
On Thursday last a very bold attempt
was made in this city to remove one hun
dred and fifty dollars in bank notes from
the drawer of one of our Exchange bro
kersMr. Reuben Manley, whose office
is at the N. W. Corner of Third and
Chesnut streets.
A genteely dressed
young man, about twenty-five years of
age, who calls himself James Peterson,,
entered the office with the pretended ob
ject of getting half a sovereign changed.
Mr. Manley took the gold piece and
turned front his counter for a moment for
the purpose of getting the silver. The
moment his back was turned Mr. Peter
son, made a sudden rush at the drawer
attached to the counter, opened it in the
twinkling of an eye, thrust his hand in
and seized a bundle of notes to the amount
stated above. He immediately took to
his heels with the evident intention of
giving Mr. Manley no other security
than " leg bail." The broker was not
satisfied it seems, with this mode of ma
king exchanges, and as soon as possible
mounted over the counter and gave chase,
crying at the top of his voice, "stop thief!
stop thief!" Peterson as soon as he heard
the cry bawled out with the voice of a
Stentor" mad dog! mad dog!" and thus
the two kept up the chase for some min

utes, the spectators not knowing which

was the t>-ue story, and some of those at a
distance who heard neither, hastening to
enjoy what they naturally enough con
ceived to be a well contested foot race.
After taking several cross cuts through
various alleys in the vicinity, Mr. Peter
son wa'fe brought up, or rather knocked
down in Dock street opposite the Ex
change, and immediately taken before
the mayor. The money, which he had
thrown away, as soon as he was cnught,
was all recovered, nod the culprit, after
a hearing, was bound over to take his
trial at the next mayors courts. He did
not attempt a defence, and is believed to
be an old hand at similar exploits, and

A True Slory,
Br THE AUTUOR OF ': THE STOLEN BOY."

It was at that season of the year when

housekeepers are observed casting occa
sional glances at the wood pile,when
second hand clothing stores exhibit at
the doors long cloaks fluttering in the
wind and thrashing foot passengers over
the sconce, when young clerks are seen
thumping the soot out of stove funnels
against the curb stone ; and when the
upper decks of the numerous steam
boats that cross the New York Bay are
untenanted and bare, save when some m isanthropic ruminator, weary of the jar
gon below, prefers chattering his own
teeth in a higher region, to hearing oth
ers wag their tongues in more comforta
ble quarters, when one of those patriotic
barks which have found out a way to
}>eopIe the Western world without vioating the rigid enforcements of Shakerism, came to an anchor a little above the
narrows, off Staten Island, in order to
wait for a slant of wind and a pilot to
carry her up to the city. The small boats
which had been down to her, reported
that she was alive with emigrants; that
the hubbub of their voices could be' heard
for several miles, and that some of them
when visited by their friends, shouted aloud like an indian nnibush springing
upon its prey. But these circumstances
nre so common as scarcely to deserve
remark, were they not indispensable to
the readers correct understanding of my
narrative.
It was somewhat late in the afternoon
of a gloomy day, when our packet ship
disgorged her living freight upon the
wharf at the foot of Dover Street. Va
rious were the garbs under which the

wistful voyagers made thei/ tirst appear

ance in the great city; their knee breech
es, buckles, ribbed stockings, and red
noses soon attracted the attention uf the
inexperienced, while the broad accent
and subdued tones with which they ad
dressed the by-standers told to a dead
certainty that they belonged to the flock
of St. Patrick.
The greater part of the passengers
were met on the pier by their friends, and
led off in different directions. But the
Sun had sunk in the west before one
small grou|,,composed wholly of females,
evinced any disposition to retire. Sorne
benevolent individuals, at length advan
ced towards the party, and inquired
whether they wished a direction to any
particular part of the city ; upon which
a tall, brawny, middle aged member of
the group advanced a few steps and an
swered energetically : " It is even so,
that same It's my own brother, Barney
M'Laughlin, that I would be after seek
ing. It's a goooS seven years since he
come to America, and it's al! I wants .to
know, that he's livingit's all, sir, it's
all ." Quailing under the glance of her
Vinegar-hill eye, the gentleman who had
acted as spokesman, turned to an elder
ly woman who stood, with open mouth
and eyes, listening intently to the conver
sation, and said : are you the mother of
Mr. M'Laughlin ?" "Och, it is the truth
you are speaking'' hastily interrupted
the Amazon who had been first address
ed, "she is hii mother seeking her lost
sonbut she's not, poor creature, one
who is fit-to give your honor a proper
answer."
" And you"said he, addressing the
youngest of the wanderers ; but an intelli
gent glance from under a large hood,
and the striking symmetry of a form
which the coarsest attire vainly strove to
hide, checked the volubility of the inter
rogator, and he contented himself with
bestowing a searching and, unquestiona
bly, oppressive stare at the interesting
darasel who instinctively drew her man
tle more closely around her, and turned
her head away to screen her face from
observation, betraying, by this movement,
a profusion of bright ringlets that clus
tered in her snowy neck behind. The
peculiar loveliness of the young emi
grant was observed by another of the
company. A young man of tali and el
egant exterior who stood a little apart
from his companions, was perceived to
knit his brows and bow his head as if
some strange emotion had suddenly ar
rested his soul ; but when he raised hi*

eyes to look once more at the maiden, he

saw that the group had moved slowly on,
and he soon lost all recollection of the
event. Evening had now commenced,
and the still houseless strangers pursued
their course towards a more central part
of the city. As the darkness increased
and several heavy drops of rain srnve
warning of an approaching storm, their
questions were put more freqnntly to
the hurrying citizens who passed them,
and who, accustomed as they were to the
peculiar accent of the querist, did not
take any particular pains to answer the
earnest appeal : " For the love of St.
Patrick, good gentleman, tell me now
where one Maister Dennis M'Laughlin
lives !" A surly reply or a total silence
was all that the poor Irishwoman could
elicit from the Americans as they brush
ed by her, and their iron heels rattled
along the sidewalk.
Once indeed, a
countryman of hers was addressed, whose
answer brought the poor comfort to the
wanderers of knowing that they were
speaking to a compatriot. He did deign
to stop and exchange n few words with
the group, but knew nolhing of M'
Laughlin, and when asked if he had lately
come over, replied with some haughti
ness that he htid been in btuiness several
years in the city that he was a porter,
and had a license. The spokesman of
the group turned reverently away, and
whispered audibly that he was a big gsntleman, and he strutted away.
The beautiful maiden now ventured,
for the first time since their landing, to
open her mouth. " Perhaps," said she,
" Mary, we are wandering astray, would
it not be the safest plan to stand under

Women's Eyes.Ann Boleyn, being
on the scaffold, would not consent to have
her eyes covered with a bandage, saying
that she had no fear of death. All that
the divine who assisted at the execution
could obtain from her, was, that she
would shut her eyes ; but as she was opening them at every moment, the exe
cutioner could not bear their mild and
tender glances; fearful of missing- his
aim, he was obliged to invent an expedi
ent to behead the queen. He drew off
his shoes, and approached her silently ;
while he was at her left hand, another
person advanced at her right, who made
n great noise in walking, so that this cir
cumstance drew the attention of Ann,

BOSTON, SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1834There is no specimen of human folly more

as the fount of wickedness, while the soul it
self is blasted by its influence, with as wither

the fabled Upas. It is impossible by the force

Bunker Hill Celebration.This went
to shew that if the people acted voluntarily in
military affairs, efficient discipline and full ranks
would be the consequence of volunteer or vol

was proud of the occasion, his dross, his object

Death of Lafayette.
Intelligence has been received at N.
York, by the packet ship Silas Richards
from London, of the death of Gen. Laj
fayette. He died on the 20th of May at
Paris in the seventy-seventh year of his
age. ' His illness was at first exceeding
ly slight, and no one calculated upon the
lamentable result. He followed the re
mains of Dulong to the grave, and it is
believed that hfi then caught a cold,
which fixing upon his lungs, has caused
his dissolution.
There are many who recollect his gen
et osity in the Revolution wherein we
threw off the chains of England, and
there are none but those . who have a
heart harder than adamant that can read
this obituary without sighing. As a friend
and a patriot the pen wielded by the wri
ter would tell more if necessarybut as
an honest man, broken down by the fa
tigues of public and private life, he was
a martyr.
Interesting Fact. A few years ago, a
very worthy laboring man, in Salem who
had been so unfortunate as to acquire a
habit of drinking spirit, becoming con
vinced of its ruinous tendency, had
strength of mind sufficient to form an
effectual resolution of future abstinence.
At that time he had a woden box made,
with a hole in the lid, and labelled
" RUM," into which he every day drop
ped as much hioney, as he had been in
the habit of spending for liquor. The
box was never opened till very recently,
when on counting the sum, it was found
to no less amount than one hundred and
eighty dollars, with a part of which he
purchased a good house lot, and the re
mainder will go towards putting a neat
and comfortable new house upon it.
Such examples are above all praise.

Marriage Extraordinarv.At Otaheite, Society Island, Capt. Charles

We clip the above notice from one of

A True Story,
BT THE AUTHOR .OF " THE STOLEN BOY."

(Continued.)
Our young lady, alone, seemed to
maintain her dignity and reserve, in this
trying moment ; and it was not until a
cry directly over their heads of " all's
well," announced their vicinity to the
watch-house, that she opened her lips.
Then, when the insatiate maw of that
lock-up house, into which so many, and
so various descriptions have been thrust,
from time to time, was opened to receive
them, our heroine stepped lightly forward
and touching the arm of the watchman
with her taper fingers, said in a voice of
unutterable sweetness, but in a tone not
to be mistaken for a voice of supplication,
" will you, sir, who have this night so gen
erously found lodgings for a little band of
female emigrants, give me your name
before you leave us. We may yet be

eagerly shouted one of the party, and
here followed a great deal of description,

Our wanderers now quickened their pace,
and all but poor Isabel seemed joyous and
happy. They soon arrived at the door
of the antique building. " I have often

manner of an enemy of yore forcing a

The Convict.
[This singular story is actually true]
Rose Mac Orne was a rare sample
of Scottish beauty. Her eyes deeply
blue, as Loch Lomond; glowing cheeks
hair -light and glossy, parted over her
broad forehead, like folds of flax coloured
Batin; features, which a shrewd and ac
tive mind had strongly developed; a tall,
muscular frame, of stately proportions ;
and a firm, elastic, rapid tread, which
she had acquired in early days, when
" Down the rocks she leaped along,"
Like rivulets in May.*'
Her youth was unfortunate; for her
mother had died during her infancy and
her profligate and selfish father had abandoned her before she reached the
dangerous age of I5.
Many were anxious to take Rose into
their service; for she was neat and thrifty
as a brownie, and had the obsequious
manner of her countrymen, united with
their proverbial knowledge of the direct
road to favor and fortune.Her greatest
misfortune was her beauty. Often after
the most uaremitting efforts to please,
poor Rose was accused of a thousand
faults, and dismissed by prudent wives
and mothers, lest she should become too
dear a servant.Scotch discrimination

culty, and Scotch ambition resolved to
make the most of it. To lovers of her

should break her chains, yet dealing out

DESCRIPTION OF AVON SPRINGS.

This small, but flourishing village, is
situated the east side of the Genesee,
about 20 miles in a southern direction
from Rochester. No situation can be
more pleasant and delightful. Here one
can hear the sweet notes of the little war
bler that perches in the grove, and the
charming strains of the piano and harp,
that constantly echo through the place.
The Springs are surrounded with shady
groves, and covered with buildings for
accomodation of visitors who resort to
them from all parts of the country, to en
joy their health preserving waters. There
are 3 public houses, I church, I store,
and about 30 other buildings. The
stranger would be astonished at beholding
the number of visitors who annually resort
here; some to obtain good health, and
others to spend their time and money
pleasantly.
This is but a faint description of this
earthly paradise: to form a correct idea
of its attractions just pay it a visit.
A female in Scotland formed the
strange notion of hatching chickens, and
carried in her bosom for that purpose

three fine chickens, which ate being ex

A Melancholy 6peclacle.A young,

beeutiful and accomplished married lady,
aged about I6, the daughter of a highly
respectable und wealthy citizen, in
Greenwich village, as it is called, was
brought up by Messrs. Thomas and M'
Grawth, from a house of infamy in Cross,
near Orange street, on Tuesday evening,
and lodged in the watch house. She had,
a short time since, been married to a gen
teel looking man who had won her young
and tender heart, but who, after a few
weeks of cohabitation, was discovered to
be the husband of a previous wedded wife.
He left her in mental distress and an
guish, too difficult to be described. Fired
with frenzy and passion, and aroused to
the highest pitch of indignation at the
quick blight that was shed on her connu
bial joys, she left her father's domic: j,
and recklessly rushed into the den of in
famy,* whence she was extracted by the
officers. There she had been living, for
seven weeks, in a state of pollution, un
til after repented efforts of the officers,
by the instrumentality of her father, she
was found. The officers feeling a holy
sympathy for her situation and that of her
afflicted parents, urged, begged and en
treated that she would return home, in
which they were aided by her brotherin-law, a highly respectable merchant,
who kindly offered her an asylum with
a full amnesty for her sins. She remain
ed deaf to all these tender expostulations,
absolutely refused to return home, and
resolving to continue to lead a life of in
famy, was, as a matter of necessity, con
veyed to the watch house, where she re
ceived a wholesome admonition from the
magistrate, and was then left to reflect
upon the folly of her conduct while re
clining upon the hard floor of her grated
and uncomfortable cell.A'. Yi Sun.

The Storm.
It was a balmy evening in June, when
au anxious and devoting wife sat before
an open window which overlooked part
of a beautiful bay that formed the harbor
of the see-port in which she resided. Her
eye had never rested on a scene more
lovely. The pure blue sky without a
cloud, and the calm clear water sleeping
beneath it in its lovelines like the babyboy that was pillowed on her own fair
breast.
But it was not the beauty of the scene
tbat made it so attractive to her. Hers
was not the delighted gaze of one whose
feelings are all absorbed in the loveliness
of nature. On the contrary, her anxious
eager eye told that she was not satisfied
with the scene before her, though so fair;
but that she was looking for an object of
greater interest than any that appeared.
But not a speck was to be seen on the
silvery expanse before her, and she turn
ed away with a disappointed and a heartsickening feeling.
Emma had looked forth many times
in the day for several weeks on the same
scene, sometimes fair as now, and some
times deformed by storms, for the ship
which contained her dearest treasure.
.Still the husband and the father came
not, and her thoaghts grew troubled and
her*heart sad, and now tlie tears fell fast
en the dear face of her sleeping infant.
But Emma was a Christian, and the sweet
promise, " Thou wilt keep him in perfeot peace whose mind is staid on Thee,"
came over her spirit so soothingly, and
with a power so divine, that her heart at
once rested on the promise of her Al
mighty Father, and her perturbed and
anxious feelings were hushed to repose.
While she still sat at the window, her
little boy of about ten years ran into the
room exclaiming, "O mother! dear moth
er! father is coming!" What do you
mean, my child?" said Emma, turning
very pale. " Why look, mother! don't
you see that pilot boat! Well the men
on board of her say that the ship Anne
is in the offing, and will be in the harbor
before morning." " O my dear boy,"
said Emma, tears of joy now filling her
eyes, "what gratitude do we owe to our
heavenly Parent! But are you sure, are
you quite sure it was the vessel that con
tains your father?" " O yes, mother the
men said they could rfot be mistaken
and see one of "them is coming this way
now, I do believe to tell you about it him
self." It was as William had conjec
tured; the man soon arrived with the
blessed intelligence that the vessel would
undoubtedly be in the harbor before morn
ing.
" What do you think father will say to
yon, little Charley," said William to "his
lovely little brother, as be opened his
soft blue eyes and smiled upon him; " I
am sure he will give yo*i so many kisses
as to make you cry, for 1 don't think you
like to be kissed much."" Dont you be
lieve/' said he, turning to his mother,

" that father will think him the finest lit

tle fellow he. ever saw? I expect he will
love him even better than I do," added
he, pressing his lips tenderly on his soft
fair cheek.
The grateful mother smiled upon her
precious boys while her heart was lifted
in adoring thankfulness to Him who had
bestowed these gifts, and was about re
storing to them and to her the life of all
their earthly joys.
. William's exuberance ofjoy continued
to overflow at his lips, while the mother's,
chastened but far more deep, kept her si
lent and thoughtful, though she listened
with complacency and would now and
then reply to the playful remarks of her
child. .They were sitting in this way,
when a peal of thunder long and loud
rolled over their heads, and in a moment
Emma and her boy were at the window.
Their eyes having been directed only to
wards the water, they Irad not observed
the cloud which had arisen in the east
and which they now perceived had near
ly covered the heavens. " God in mer
cy preserve thy father!" exclaimed Em
ma, " for I fear a storm is close at hand."
" Oh! ifshe checked herself and only
added. " He who has hitherto preserved
him can still keep him in perfect safety,"
and "thou in perfect peace if thy mind is
stayed on me," was whispered by the
blessed Spirit. x" Compassionate Fa
ther," she responded inwardly "I will
lean upon thee, I will trust thee I will
repose on thy faithfulness." Again was
her spirit calmed, and the painful throbbings of her anxious heart quieted al
though the storm was evidently fearfully
increasing. In one short hour how had
the scene before her changed. Dark
and heavy clouds were driven with fright
ful rapidity across the heavens, and the
water was lashed to foaming fury by the
violence of the wind. It seemed indeed
impossible that a vessel could Jive for a
moment on the heaving billows of that
stormy sea.
What a change too in the joyous feel
ings of William's little affectionate heart.
The big tears chased each other down
his sweet pale cheeks, and all his child
ish prattle was forgotten. " Kneel with
me my dear boy," said his mother, taking
his hand, " and let us pray for your dear
father's safety in this dreadful hour."
The mother and child sank on their knees
together, and with the eloquence of a wo
man, whose fears for the beloved of her
heart were all awake, and with the de
votion of a christiaa whose trust was the
living God, she poured out her soul be
fore Him. Such a sweet and holy calm
was diffused over her spirit, nnd so ab
sorbed were all her feelings in this divine
exercise, that tlie continued ravings of
the relentless storm were scarcely heard,
and when she arose from her knees and
looked abroad, she almost expected to
see the sky and water as serene as bet
trusting heart. But its firry abated not,
and so weak and faithless is the huraa*

heart even when it leans the most con

fidingly on God, that her agitating fore
boding in a great measure returned.
It was now nearly bed time, but poor
Emma thought not of retiring. Her un
conscious baby, laid to rest in its little
cradle, was softly breathing and sweetly
sleeping, and William, wearied with
watching and weeping, sank beside him
on the floor, and for a while forgot his
sorrows in the profound slumbers of child
hood. But not to the wife and the mother
came this soothing balm.
Her aching
head pressed not that night the pillow of
repose. How could she bear to recline
on that bed where she had so often rested
on the dear bosom of him who was now
perhaps stretched on the rocky bed of the
ocean with the cold and stormy waves for
his covering.
The long, long hours of that dreadful
night were passed in walking the room or
kneeling in prayer, "O my. Saviour!"
- would she cry, " thou hast the same
Almighty power, and the same compas
sionate heart that thou hadst while on
earth, and by the sovereign word thou
didst then still the raging tempest. 0
listen! listen to the importunate cry of an
agonized wife, and save, ia mercy save,
the beloved of her soul! Or else say
" peace, be still," to the tempests within
my own bosom, and let me rest with all
the confidence of a redeemed child on
thy faithfulness and love!** Sweetly
soothing to her heart were some of these
moments of prayer; calmly and quietly
could she stay herself on God, and praise
him even with tears of gratitude that her
precious husband was a christian, and
that the sea as well as the earth would
yield its dead, and she again behold him
clad in the vestments of immortality, and
adorned with his Saviour's likeness.
But O! there were moments when even
prayer afforded little relief, and she in
the anguish of her spirit refused to be
comforted .
The sun which has so long gazed on
the fairest scenes of earth, never looked
forth on a lovelier morning, than that
which succeeded this night of storm and
tempest. The balminess of the soft air,
the serenity of the blue sky, and the beau
ty ofthe bright water, were never exceed
ed. -But wb*n the glnd rays of that glo
rious morning penetrated the sad cham
ber of Emma, she covered her face and
groaned in the bitterness of her heart; for
where was. he in whose arms at this very
hour she hoped to have been enfolded/
The mother's deep agonizing groan
broke the slumbers of her boy, who start
ing on his feet, exclaimed, " has father
come?" ,' Oh! no! my child," answer
ed Emma, bursting for the first time into
a passionate fit of. weeping, " nor will he
1 fear ever come again!"
Several weeks passed, and as nothing
was heard of the ship- which contained
the husband of Emma, and as more than
one vessel was- known to have perished
daring the storm* the faint hopes that

were entertained of his safety .entirely used to the melting mood, himself wept

*- But how is it?" exclaimed Emma,

A True Story,
BY THE AUTHOR OF " THE STOLEN BOY."
(Continued.)
. *
Some disposition to compromise was
now evinced on the part of the old wo
men; who, however jnbheroc! fast and
fierce, but their conversation had taken
a more general turn, and fro^i directing
the whole force of their wordy war aT
gainst the strangers, thefy changed to de
nouncing the Irish citizens us a whole ;
and before Isabel had reached the door,
Dennis M'Laughlih had succeeded in
making1 a conditional peacethe arti
cles of the treaty, being, that he, on his
part, should inform them who the young
lady was, and on theirs, that his sister,
mother and company should remain in
the house until day light, and, if the
weather still proved unfavorable, until
twelve o'clock at noon. Whether M'Laughlin would be able to perform his
part of the contract or not, was certainly
a dubious question ; lor, although Mary
appeared to be somewhat acquainted'
with the history of Isabel, yet I am not
so certain she knew more of her real
name and circumstances than the readar. All that Mary developed was, that
Isabel had left her friends and guardians
in Ireland by *tealth, and that in taking
such a f-tep, love had been the primary
instigator ; that a youth who had won
the affections of Isabel, now resided in
some part of the United States, whither
he had retired in a state of mind bordering^on desperation on account of Isabel's
refusal to accept his hand, which refusal
had not proceeded from the promptings of
hor own heart, but the commands of her
friends. She also said .that Isabel, while

in Ireland, resided in an old castle owned

by the richest lord in that country but
more she could not tell. This disjointed
relation seemed to raise the curiosity of
the assembled hags to the highest pitch,
and, with an]expressed determination to
ferret out the whole affair, they took
leave of the Irish group and slunk to
their pallets, when Morpheus oversha
dowed the mansion with his wings, and
silence was restored.
While these things were passing in
the house, Isabel and her protector were
picking their way through the narrow,
streets ofthe city, M'Grawth had thrown
his heavy watch coat over the shoulders
of the panting girl, and thus shielded
from the storm, she was not averse to
holding a little conversation with her
conductor.
' Do you know of a Mrs. Willington
who used to occupy the house which we
have just left V said she. 'I do.' answer
ed M'Grawth, in a tone which seemed to
imply that he desired no farther ques
tioning on that subject.
' She was a good old ladyI knew her
onc-3triwttnust now be very igd,' cantinued Isabel.
' Sorrow adds wofully to the end of a
long life, and she is very, very ojd, poor
woman !' answered he.
' Who goes there !' exclaimed a hoarse
voice, as M'Grawth and Isabel turned
into a small street.
' Ah ! M'Grawth !' continued the same
vo[ce, before there was time to answer
the challenge.
" Good night t'yc, Williams'said
M'Grawth, ' How goes the time?' ' ft is
something better than two,' replied the
other, ' I have had a hard watch of it.'
'Something wet,' answered M'Grawth.
' Yes, and the widuw,' replied the other,
' 1 have been forced to go in several
times, and try to persuade her to be qui
etLord, sir ! she has done nothing but
screech ever since I turned out.'
' It is strange, very strange,' said M'
Grawth, motioning to move forward.
' Yes, and he proved- innocent, most incontestibly ! Now, hud he been guilty.'
' Well, excuse me,' said M'Grawth, 'I
have a partner, you see, . whose health
might suffer by stopping too long in the
street on such a night as this.'
That's true' replied Williams, ' but
will you not, now that I have just thought
of it, just stop as you go along, and leave I

'Mrs. Willington!' screamed- Isabel,-

[Price One Cent

and trembling violently, she grasped the

arm of Williams, and exclaimed, ' Come
Sir, you must tell me what ails that good
old lady, mymya very particular
near and dear friend of mine, and all that
is now left that will sympathise with my
unhappy state. Oh ! keep me not hi
suspense. What is her affliction ? Can
I be of no service to her ? Come, M'
Grawth let us go there immediately.'
_ ' I was afraid of this,' said M'Grawth,
letting the end of his club fall sullenly
upon the pavement. ' It is strange, WiLliams, that you would have no more pru
dence !'
' How should I know that the young
woman was any. relation.' answered
Williams" you know that Mrs. Willing
ton is something of a lady, but this wo
man seems not to belong to the upper
class, if any thing is to be told by dress.'
' Well, well,' said M'Grawth, speaking
between his teeth, and evidently with
suppressed passion, ' be that as it wiH. I
am sorry you have mentioned the widow
Good -night.'
As soon as our night walkers hao
parted from Williams, . Isabel besr-ught
her companion to conduct her at once to
Mrs. Willington. JM'Grawth replied thai
he feared her health had been already
endangered by anxiety and over exer- tion and entreated her so feelingly to re
tire to his house and take repose, prom
ising to accompany her over to the wi
dow's in the morning, that she reluct
antly consented to his proposal. Thev
had walked a small distance in silence.
and Isabel had, in that short time, seem

of her existence as their eventful scenes
rose to her vivid recollection, when hap

reaching out her hand suddenly as is

24th, says, it becomes our painful duty to
record the destructive march of a second
tornado. Yesterday afternoon the clouds
began to gather in the northwest, and
about 6 o'clock, assumed an awful and
threatening appearance. The lightning:
was very vivid, and the rain fell in tor
rents ; the wind although strong enough
to carry off the limbs of trees, did no
damage in town ; but the same roaring
noise, which accompanied the late whirl
wind, was distinctly heard, denoting a
calamity to Chesterfield similar to thai
which so recently befel the neighboring
counties on this side of the Appomattox.
Only a few particulars have reached us,
falling- short, we fear, of the full extent
of the damage.
The Richmond 'stage did not arrive
until 9 o'clock, the fallen timber in the
rnad having obstructed its passage. The
passengers state that the storm, where it
,crossed the turnpike, extended from
Bass' Hill to Swift Creek, a distance of
of nearly three miles, prostrating every
thing within its sweep. At Swift Creek
several houses were blown down.
The passengers in the Richmond stage
had a very narro,v escape ; the wind
having crossed the road a few minutes
before the stage reached the scene of its
destruction.

the troubles he met with, turned his hair
gray before the usual time. He had n

their heat so great, that after two or three

They had now reached the door of the
room occupied by the lady of the man
sion, and Isabel shuddered as the watch
man opeued it for her to enter.'
The old lady st on an easy chair, her
head reclining against the back, and
seemed absorbed in deep thought. She
started as Isabel made her appearance,
and the young lady was much struck by
the phranzied expression of those eyes
which once exhibited the calm glow of
benevolence and conteutment.
' Young woman, you wish to speak
with me what is your errand ?' said
Mrs. W illington.
' Am I a stranger to you ? Are there
not left some faint traces on my counte
nance; of a little roguish child who would
obey no one but yourself ?'
A glance of recognition answered the
question ; and Isabel flew into the arms
of the aged invalid, but her embrace was
not relumed so cordially as she had
anticipated. 'My dear, dear friend, and
mother I may now call you, since you
only arc lelt from among the circle o f
my acquaintances on whom I would con

pressed thb trembling hand of Mrs. W.
to her bosom.
Mrs'. WiUington made some attempts
Jit expressing her great pleasure at meet
ing with Isajjel in her native land once
more but the words were spoken with
much difficulty, and the invalid seemed
to gasp Cor breath, between every sen
tence.
Isabel felt a strange oppression while
in the company of Mrs. W. Warm
hearted and confiding herself, she had
expected a very different reception from
the one which she bad received. While
in Ireland, she had frequently received
letters' from Mrs. W. filled with the most
tender and endearing epithets, and an
express desire often repeated, that her
slay abroad Would be short, and that she
would soon gladden < lie eyes of her old
ntirrc by revisiting the scenes of her child
hood.
Mrs. W. soon began to talk of business

and she was not summoned ; and finally,

a man who had been travelling west, to a

The Book of the Chronicles of the Scribes
of Trimountain.
I. James who come from the fish
banks in the land of the East, held the
pen of a ready writer.
2. Nevertheless he governed not him
self, wherefore his surname shall not be
mentioned in the Chronicles.
3. Moreover for his misdeeds he was
sentenced by the judge of the county to
labor in the strong house appointed for
such purposes for the space of two years,
and many rejoiced thereat, but some
were sorrowful.
4. Now this James was a man of skill,
and they set him to carve skillful devices
in wood.
5. Then Barnabas whose name had
long been known to the people of Tri
mountain, instructed all that came to him.
6. And Thomas who had been a stone
cutter, did likewise.
7. And David, who taught the art of
keeping accounts, also instructed a pupil
in the art of the Scribe's till she could
legibly write her name, which she had
not done in former time.
8. But she departed out of the city of
Trimountain and made him no recom
pense.
9. And few came to the Scribes for
instruction, tor that they were men who
did not bear witness of themselves.
I0. Then came Benjamin from the
rand of Sturgeons in the West country.
II. And this Beniamin was namesake
to him who drew the lightening from the
clouds, and had written a book upon the
art of the Scribes, and he promised that
for one eagle from eaeh, he would make
Scribes of all the people of Trimountain,
but they did not all believe on him. '
I2. Then came Samuel, the namesake
of him whom the governors of Kngland
aforetime hated, and set a price upon
his head, but whom the people of Tri
mountain loved.
I3. And this Samuel whose surname
was Aiken, spake fair words to the peo
ple of Trimountain, and sime believed
on lum and sent unto him their sons and
daughters.
I4. And he added their names to
20,000 others whom he said he had
before that day instructed in the art of
the Scribes.
I5. And after him came a scribe from
the city of Chapman, in the island of
Britain, even from the great city.
I6. And he was known to the people
of Trimountain, for that they had afore
time paid him much money.
I7. And he spake great things and
some believed on him.
I8. But some said he is like the rest
of his countrymen of whom we have
heretofore seen some who boasted that
they would make Scribes of the unlearn
ed and finish them in one day.
t9. Then said the scribe from the

great city ; my royal antiangnlar system

of chirographic excellence has received
the patronage of the king and of the
queen and of many other members of the
royal family, not to mention the bishops
and dukes, and lords and ladies of the
island of Albion.
20. Then said some of the females of
Trimountain, we will go to him and
learn to write like Adelaide and the
noble ladies of England.
2I. But the scribe continued and said
it has moreover received the patronage
of thousands of the heroes, and senators
and statesmen, or citizens and gentlemen
of republican America.
22. Then some of the people of Tri
mountain said these were but great swel
ling words of vanity, for that thre is but
one hero in republican America and but
a few senators, and the citizens have not
all believed on him.
23. Then the scribe was exceeding
wroth, and said that some of the people
of Trimountain. had nothing in their
heads.
24. Then one from the land of stur
geons said, this scribe is not like other
men, for he hath not his hair on the top
of his head but weareth it on his face.
25. But the scribo said, nevertheless
I will surely make scribes of all the peo
ple of Trimountain, and they shall pay
me therefor, seventy thousand pieces of
gold having on them the image of tho
hero of New Oilcans, before whose face
my countrymen fled away and w*re not
found:
26. Then said the people of Trimoun
tain, unto aH the scribes, hold ye your
peace, and we will render unto every
one of you, the One reward of his deeds.
Fame. How miserable they ! what
greater slaves than such as toil for fame?

when they are dead. Oh, ideot fancy !
madness ! to be cursed with the notice of
the world while livingto be envied by
the base, slandered by the malicious, and
hated by every rival ; and then when we
are laid in the cold groundwhen after
a joyless and toilsome life we close our
eyes fbrever to all those things in which
we have labored, our names shall be
pronounced ; we shall be talked of,
when the ear that might have taken plea

we see the chrystal stream winding its
way through the matted grass and mur
muring in^ the wood. The feathered
songster carols in the spray, the leaves
are green, the fruit is mellowing in the

There indeed is independence.

Horse Market.Those of our citi

with us, that a Horse Market such as has
been established by Samuel K. Bayley,
is an indictable nuisance: There, every,
inconvenience exists to shew the paces,

gait, or defect of that noble animal, the

horse, unless they endanger the liven
of men, women and children, by racing
the animal through crowded streets, to. the terror of all biped travellers. Fre
quently a row of carriages take their
thirds of Water street, at auction sales
and one who has to pass with his chaise,
has, in sailor phrase, to ' luff up for one,
and bear away for another,' in a street
altogether too narrow for common exi
gences.
Why do not our city authorities inter
fere ? If a door step obtrudes too far upon
the side walk, whack comes a notice
upon its unlucky owner ; but chaise,
waggon, carryall and horse may be pa
raded, trotted and gallopped through
these streets with perfect impunity, to
their exhibitors, though manifestly to the
danger of life^nd limb of our citizens.

A True Story,
BK TUB AUTHOR OP " THE STOLEN BOY."
( Continued.)
Isabel had felt little disposition to leave
her prison, and less ability to do so ; for
her strength had yielded to the intense
excitemunt of her mind ; and site had just
thrown herself exhausted upon the bed,
when she heard a low tap at the door.
It was the hour of twilight, when the
imagination is peopled with the airy
and fleeting visions of fancy's reverie
when the Muse holds her levee, and
witches on broomsticks, fairies in nut
shell chdriots, and bodiless spirits dance
attendance at her throne. What being
could it be who thus stealthily approached
her chamber, and summoned her with so
gentle a signal ? She hastily arose, but
before she could gather ;ho stray tresses
which wandered carelessly over her fine
shoulders an.f luxurious bosom, Robert
Wellington entered. There was an im
pudent look of exultation on his flushed
cheek, and his lascivious eyes glistened
with confidence, as he felt certain of his
prey. The cold, formal, and haughty
bow of Isabel rather, checked ijis ardor,
and it is very certain that he did not ap
proach her in the manner he had at first
mtended. Still there- was sufficient
effrontery in his beaiing. Hu made one
of those low, humble obeisances with
which some persons iusult such as they
think vastly beneath them, while the
ironical leer and brutal, heartless grin
told that hi* feelings were no farther en
listed, in her behalf than his bestial de
sires were concerned. Throwing him
self carelessly upon the bed, he yawned
aeverul times and then commenced with ;

' Well, miss, you have been a prisoner

to-day.'
' Indeed, sir !' cried Isabel, starting
' I was not aware of it !'
' Better and better,' said he, bursting
into a horse laugh, ' I am glad to find
that you can be locked in my room a
whole day, without feeling the restraint.
It argues well.'
'I am yet to learn by what authority
you have then held me as a prisoner,'
said she indignantly ; ' he assured that
if I had known the door was locked, or
that this' was your room, I should have
found a way to free myself ere this,'
' Keep cool, young woman,' said Ro
bert with audacious sangfroid, ' You are
more in my power than you imagine.
Inquiries have been made lor you by the
Police, and I can, at any moment, sur
render you up to Justice. But why
should I threaten such loveliness. Come,
give me one kiss and let us exchange
forgiveness.';
' Stand off, Sir !' cried she, as Robert
approached anjendeavored to encircle
her waist with nis arm ; ' Hear me, Ro
bert Willitigton, you are no stranger to
me. There was a time when your soul
was free from criminal stainthere was
a lime when you would have scorned the
thought of taking advantage of a lone and
friendless girl. You have repaired at
early eve to pay your vows to that God
who seeth our most secret actions.
What would you not give to feel once
more that inward peace which wasyouis
in the day that you knelt by the side of
a female companion under the shadow ot
a large tree and joined your pravers with
hers V
.
Robert shrutik back, ciapped his hand
to his forehead, and seemed bewildered.
After a short pause, he fixed his eyes
searchingly upon Isabel's countenance,
and.said, ' Who are you ?'
' 1 am one who has cause to regret the
change which a few years have wrought
in your once innocent mind,' iuid she, ' I
am one who has tasted your sainted mo
ther's kindness. She has folded me in
her arms, and sheltered my infant years,
even as the shepherd shelters the lamb
from the tempest. Was it for this that
she preserved me that 1 should fall a
p;ey to the evil designs of her sun ?
Methinlis, Iter spirit is now hovering over
us, and she is near to snatch me from
your fangs !'
The guilty fear which more or less
attaches itself to the undertakings cf the
wicked was considerably excited by these
remarks of Isabel, and Hubert shuddered

[Price One Cent.

as she finished with the allusion to his

mother's spirit. It had become some
what dark in the room where they sat,
which no doubt had its effect upon the
superstitious feelings of the debauchee.
He was about s-vallowing a glass of
brandy to recruit his courage, when the
door was softly pushed open, and a figure
in white moved into the room and ap
proached the astonished Isabel. The
glass of liquor fell untasted from the hand
of Robert, and terror chained him to his
seat.
Although Isabel had, at first, almost '
imagined that the being who entered was
an inhabitant of another sphere, she soon
became undeceived, as the woman, (foi
such she was,) placed a letter in her
hand, and she felt the touch of substan
tial flesh and blood when she received it.
' From whom do you come ?' inquired
Isabelbut no answer was returned and
the unknown female glided from the room
as noiselessly- as she had entered it.
'Lights here ! lights !' roared Robert,
and a maid soon brought in two lamps
and set them on the bureau.
Isabel still held the letter in her hand.
Robert's eye fell upon the superscription,
and with a face of scarlet, he stamped
and cried : ' So, so miss prude ! my
virtuous, religious, and chaste preacher.
I find you holding correspondence with
a very pious, chaste, and godly youth,
who accidentally plundered a traveller
not three miles from the city. Oh ! most
saint-like virgin ! How long have you
been the kept miss of the worshipful
Cvander ? 1 pity thy solitary condition,
upon my soul !'
' Do you .know him then ? Do you
know the writer of this letter !' said Isa
bel quickly.
'Do 1 know him ? Yes, villain as he
is ! I have seen the cut-throat, he is
abundantlv worthy of your affection ."
' Base Slanderer, as thou art.' exclaim
ed Isabel, springing upon her feet, as all
the brave blood of her ancestors seemed
to rush to her face' know that he whose

taking it into thy filthy mouth, is when

art even meaner than I had supposed
thee. Thou vile scum and pestilential
brute, know that before I would be
called thy wife, I would link my fate with
the vile Hottentot who feasts on garh

She then advanced proudly and with
high disdain towards the door, whec.
Robert grasped her arm and tried to de-<,.

A Trie Story,
BY THE AUTHOR OF t: THE STOLEN BOY."

( Continued. )
He silently took a chair and waited
until she should first speak to him. At
length she started as if awaking from a
dream, and evinced considerable surprise
at seeing M'Grawth so near her,
' My
lady,' said he, ' have you any commands
for me ?'
' Is this you ?' said Isabel,. faintly, ' it
seems to me as if I had been very unwell.
What has happened?'
' I can tell you all that I know,' replied
M'Grawth,' you came here lately in
great distress of mind, with a letter in
your hand, and wildly asked for a private
apartment.
Shortly afterwards, you
seemed to have heard some afflicting
news and'
' Yes, yesI know all that':said she,
' you speak true.
Well, my resolution
is taken. I shall leave your house. All
that makes existence tolerable is the hope
of seeing a very near and dear friend,
whom I still fear I cannot se,e, and whom
when I have seen, I shall be" much more
miserable than I am at present.'
' Pardon me, madam,' said M'Grawth,
' but what you say does not seem to hang
well together. You say you hope to see
this friend, and yet that you will be miser
able when you have seen him.
Let rnc
advise you to make yourself known to your
relations. I hope I am not too bold, but I
think you must be a relation to the lady
who owned this house and fifty other
houses in this street, together with the
whole range of buildings lying in B
street, between C
and P
streets.'

'Well, Mr. M'Grawth,' replied Isabel,

' allowing that your suspicions is just,
does it follow that you must betray me ?
I have particular reasons for wishing to
remain unknown. Ifyou are atrueman,
you will not expose me.
You say you
suspect that I am some relation to the
deceased widow B
.
What other
surmises have you formed ? I should be
glad to know the whole."
' Why, madam, since you require me
to speak out, I am disposed to believe that
you are the young lady who visited this
place some half a dozen years since in
company with Mrs. B's brother from
Ireland, and that you took away my
daughter and carried her with you to the
old country to wait upon Mrs. B
's
daughter who lives there in great style.
As the old ludy is dead, the daughter
must be immensely rich.
She owns all
the real estate which her mother left, be
sides large possessions in Ireland, be
queathed to her by her uncles and others.
She is the greatest heiress in America,
when she comes to take possession of her
own. Ifyou are cousin to Miss B
and the person who carried off my Matil
da, I beseech you to tell me how is my
daughter and the young lady ?'
' Your daughter I have indeed seen,'
answered Isabel' she is not at present
with Miss B
but is satisfied with her
situation. As respects the young lady,
I presume I have not seen he,r since you
have,'
' Well, this is singular, truly' said
M'Grawth' I begin to think that you
are no relation to the widow that you
belong to some other family,' and he
looked sharply at her dress, and added,
' You know, madam, that we. are poor
folks here.'
..,.
' Oh ! never mind that,' said Isabel,
' I am perfectly at home, I assure you.
Poverty does not offend me.'
' Well, but,' said M'Grawth, drawing
down his brows and revolving his thumbs
one over the other, ' ymi know, miss ;
that is, you mu*Ljtir^n7ib\c though we
are willing to^e kind, and hospitable,
and till thatwhy, I have a family of my
own to maintain.'
' How hard of apprehension I am !'
exclaimed Isabel. ' I did not at first take
your meaning.
All that shall be looked
to, I assure you, as soon as I get mv
baggage from the ship.
I find that I
have accidentally leit my purse behind.
W e will settle all that in good time.'
' Your baggage, ma'am !' said M'
Grawth in a tone which was far from

'

respectful, and giving her a scrutinizing

glance, he left the room. .
Isahel was surprised at the alteration
in M'Grawth's manner, but was not long
left to ponder upon it, for Mrs. M'Grawth
now presented herself before the sorrow
ing maiden.
She was a stout, middle aged woman
with a profusion of black, wiry hair
hanging down each side of her face.
Her little black eyes twinkled as she
bowed and sat down by the side of Isa'hel. ' How do you find yourself, miss ?
My husband is avery freehearted sort of
a man who takes pity on any one what's
in distress, but hedoes'nt understand how
to make distinctions ; you know there is
some what pays, and there is some what
don't pay. Cash in hand is my word. I
would'nt like to turn a poor creatur*
into the street, but when one don't know
nobody, why nobody don't know who
they are to look to for their pay ; and as
you seems to be got a little over your
craziness, I was just going to say that if
you have'nt the money about you, why I
shuld like to know who you are, and
may be I should then be willing to wait a
little. Our rent comes due to-morrow,
and the Agent who has charge of Mrs.
B 's affairs till her daughter come*,
won't wait long, and I must go to no new
expense for strangers, though I've no
thing against you but that.'
' Well, well, good woman,' answered
Isabel,'! shall put a stop to your uneasi
ness whefl I inform you that I am about
quitting your roofwe may meet again at
a time when you will know me better.'
Isabel forced a gold ring upon Mrs.
M'Grawth as a reward for her attentions
during her illness, and then sallied forth.
' Once more without a home or friend,'
now whither do I direct my steps ?
Where, but to my Alonzo ? Yet how
can I ever expect to be of advantage to
him. His manly limbs are manacled ere
this ; the austere turnkeyholds over him
his rod of office,and oh I to what degrada
tion may he not be compelled to submit.
I have understood that he has influen
tial relatives in this country ; could not
they save himcould they not intercede
for his pardonPardon did I say !
Guiltless as he is, why talk of pardon.
Oh, thou superintending Providence !
are such the ordinations of thy will that a
noble, brave, and virtuous youth should
be crushed to the earth, and suffer the
punishment due to the vile, while the
hardened wretch who has perfidiouslv
brought destruction upon him goes n!
largo and riots in plenty.'

Nerved by desperation and love, Isabel

bad walked a considerable distance, in
the direction of the Penitentiary, which
lay several miles distant from the house
she had left, when the hopeless condition
of her lover was brought home to her
heart with redoubled force, and, feeling
faint, she returned into an old secluded
grave yard, fringed round with weeping
willows, in order to sit down until she.
should feel able to contiuue her walk.
She was glad to perceive that she could
here give vent to her feelings without
being observed. The long faded grass
covered a large number of sunken graves,
and as a faint breeze crept through the
drooping foliage above her, its murmurs
were congenial with the sadness of her
feelings. Her aching heart seemed to
relax from the rigid statu of high-wrought
agony which had sodong oppressed her,
and her burning brain was cooled by a
sudden and passionate Hood of tenrs.
Her thoughts were for a moment detach
ed from Earth and mounted to Heaven.
The orphan knelt under the thick shade
of a large willow and poured forth her
soul to God.
The first dawn of peace
which she had known for many long
weeks now visited her wounded heart,
and she became covinced that there was
a God above who knew how to bring
good out of evil. Ere she arose from her

Shuddering at the idea of having been
watched by a man, Isabel sprang upsm
her feet. She beheld, a few paces from
her and partly hidden by the branch of
a tree, a tall youth bending over a grave
at the head of which a marble stone had
been newly placed. She essayed to de

There was something in the countenance

A True Story,
T THE AUTHOR OF ': THE STOLEN BOY."
{Continued.)
Isabel sunk to the earth and a happy
forgetfulness rendered her insensible to
the horrors that surrounded her. How
long she lay on the ground, in this situa
tion, is not known, but when she recover
ed, she foufld herself lying on a sofa and
surrounded by anxious countenances,
who exchanged a smile of satisfaction
with each other, when she gently unclos
ed her heavy lids and looked wistfully
about her.
* Where am I ? Where is he ? What
is the matter !' she exclaimed.
A middle aged lady who held her head,
and whose plain, neat attire bespoke her
one of the Friends or Quakers, then
beckoned to the rest of trie company to
leave the. room. When all had retired
but the lady, Isabel sat up and looking
around the room, discovered that it was a
very pleasant apartment, well furnished
with books, chiefly of u religious nature,
and such, as appertain principally to the
sect of Quakers. There was a large
book ctilled George Fox's Journal, ano
ther denominated The Rise and Progress
of Quakerism ; also, Willis's Reply to
Hibbard ; Patience Brnyton, Clarkson's
Portraiture of Quakerism &c. She also
saw Cowper's Task and Young's Night
Thotights lying upon the mantle piece.
Then looking in the face of her attend
ant, Isabel saw so much sweetness and
intelligence, that she felt at once at her
ease, and quite at home. The Quaker
lady seemed to know what was passing
in Isabel's mind ; for she said : ' Make
thyself easy, young lady, for thou art
amongst thy friends, and those who know
how to feel for the sufferings of others. '
Isabel then besought the good woman fo
tell her all that had happened. Her
narrative was as follows, that her hus
band was returning from the city in a
chaise, when he saw a considerable dist
ance from the road, ,a little dog jumping,
barking, &. howling over something which
looked like a human being prostrate on
the ground.
He fastened his horse to a
tree, and ran, to examine into the affair.
When ',lie -came to the *pot he found
Isabel lying upon the ground, perfectly
senseless. Upon examining her atten
tively, he became convinced that she was
alive, and taking her in his arms con
veyed her to the chaise, and brought her
borne. ' And here' continued the Qhh'ajress, ' thou shalt receive every atten

tion which can be bestowed but I forgot

one thing ; here is a pocket book which
was picked up near thee, by my husband,
and whioh, I suppose, is thy property.'
Isabel took the pocket book, and although
it was not hers, yet she thought it might
cast some light upon theffair of the ske
leton, and conceived she had a right to
open it. She did <so, and the name of
' Robert Willington,' written at length,
presented itself to her astonished eyes !
A slight sickness came over her, and her
careful protector applied every remedy
which humanity could suggest. Isabel
then took a letter from the pocket book
and opened it with trembling hands. It
was addressed to Robert Willington, and
ran thus :
' Dear Bobby,'
; All is done as it should bethe
watch is actually placed in Evander's
fob ! The handkerchief lies on his dress
ing table, and the pocket book is snugly
bestowed between his straw tick and fea
ther bed. This will convict him before
any Jury in the country. Trust me,
your prison doors will open soon. The
officers will be put on the .trail, most
handsomely. Go it Jack, Go it Jerry.'
'' Yours, under rose,
Tam.'
Isabel was not insensible to the advan
tage which she had gained by coming so
unexpectedly into the possession of these
proofs of Robert's treachery, and she
laid the pocket book carefully away.
By degrees Isabel became acquainted
with her generous preservers, and found
so much in them to admire and to love,
that a strong attachment was formed be
tween the orphan and the good Quakers.
She found that the gentleman in whose
house she resided was a Mr. Dean, who
had lately been a successful and enter
prising merchant, but losses at sea, and
the failure of individuals on whose paper
he had risked his name, had icduced him
to the necessity of opening a boarding
school for young ladies in a splendid
house, about three miles from the city
and in, that romantic scite known by the
name of Rose Hill.
Here all was plea
santness and peace. The fruit trees sur
rounding the mansion yielded the most
delicious specimens, in their season, and
the flowers seemed to grow up sponta
neously in every quarter. But at this
time, IsabeHiad not a very good opportu
nity of judging of the pleasantness of the
situation, although some late fruits were
still to be had.
If any thing could have

which Isabel felt in these good people, it

was the conviction that some secret cause

of sorrow was preying upon the vitals of
Mr. and Mrs. Dean.
She would often
see Mrs.- Dean struggle to suppress the
most violent emotion, and sometimes
when she came suddenly upon her, she
would find her weeping bitterly ; while
the unvaried solemnity of Mr. Dean's
countenance told too plainly that his
heart was breaking.
Isabel was deeply
affected by these discoveries, and the
thought struck her, that perhaps misfor
tunes in business and coming poverty
were the occasions of their distress. She
determined to make an attempt at bring
ing Mrs. Dean to an explanation.
' Think not,' said that lady after Isabel
had expressed her sympathy and suspi
cions'think not that earthly riches have
the power to make mortals happy no,
my dear girl, there are other reasons for
our grief. We are indeed unhappy ; but
the cause we hardly dare name to our
selves. Thou must forgive me, if I can
not muster sufficient fortitude to make
thee acquainted with the depth of my
misery Oh ! Isabel M am a motherI
have a son !' She could say no more.
Her voice became choked and the tears
gushed forth. When her grief had a
little subsided, Mrs. Dean besought Isa
bel, in her turn, to give her someaccount
of her own life, and to explain the reason
of rrer secret sorrows, 'for' said she, ' we
have observed thee to spend a great part
of thy time wandering in the groves, and
talking wildly to thyself with frenzied
festures, often casting thy cyeB up to
leaven.'
Isabel then gave Mrs. Dean the out
line of her history, carefully concealing
her own name and the names of others.
Mrs. Dean expressed a desire to see the
letter which Isabel had found in the
pocket book. It was immediately given
to her. Mrs. Dean glbnced her eyes
over the fatal scroll, and uttered a shriek
which brought the whole family to her
side in an instant. ' Oh ! my husband !'
exclaimed she, when Mr. Dean appeared,
' we are worse ruined than even our feats
had anticipated !' From motives of deli- cacy, Isabel withdrew. She walked out
into a grove which had been her favorite
haunt since her residence at Rose Hill.'
She was surprised at beholding a letter
pinned against a tree directly over a rock
which she had often used for a seat. She
took it down with trembling hands. It
was directed to her. She broke, the seal
and read as follows.
' If Miss Isabel B does not fear fc ,
walk by moonlight, she will find it to lie:

'clock precisely, this very night. Lei
her come alone, as otherwise she will
only have her walk for her pains.'
' A would-be Friend.'
This note was written in a -delicate fe
male hand, but apparently under great
trepidation.
While Isabel stood musing upon this
incident, she heard a rustling amongst
the dry leaves, and looking up, beheld a
yourf.; man, his face bloated, his eyes
blood-shot, and with "a peculiarly restless
and uneasy expression of .countenance,
walking swiftly through the grove, to
wards the mansion house. He saw Isa
bel and halted. ' Good day,' said he,
' how, get on affairs at the house ? How
is Dad and Ma'am ?' ' If you allude to
Mr. and Mrs. Dean,' said Isabel, 'ihey
arc in good health, but weighed down
with grief.'
' \ye, the same old story,
dam me,' cried he' Curse the day that
I was born a Quaker,' and he walked on.
Isabel was at no loss in guessing who
this. young man was ; aid it was as easy
for her to imagine that the writer of the
letter in the pocket book was the son of
Mrs. Dean. Here then was a clew by
which Evander's innocence might be
made apparent ; but how could that bo
done without .inculpating young Dean,
and b; inging distress upon har kind pro
tectors. 'Revolving these things in her
mind, Isabel walked slowly towards the
bouse. The hour tor school bad arrived,
but Isabel saw the girls scattered over
the green, and in some places, collected
in groups, talking earnestly together.
As she. drew near, she perceived that she
was not welcomed as usual. Every face
was averted from her, and she overheard
one of the scholars, who said, ' Well,
who is shewhere does she come from ?
She has thus thrust herself in amongst us,
making trouble, and may be some wo
man of bad character.' The same girl
then fell to criticising Isabel's wearing
apparel, and laughed at her poverty
saying that she would lend her a gown
when she wanted to get her present one
washed. The name of this girl was
Dupout , she used to boast that her father
was bred and born a gentleman, and tell
much of his wealth and grandeur. Isa
bel entered the house oppressed by feel
ings of regret at the sorrow she had
brought on the family which sheltered her
within its bosom. Mrs. Dean folded her
in her arms and wept over her. ' That
wretched Willington has undone my son V
she exclaimed ' there can be no doubt
of his guilt. His father is questioning
him severely, and is determined to lay
justice to the plumline, and thy unhappy
lover shall be released.
It is hard to a
mother's feelings, but the innocent must
not suffer for the guilty. My son Tho
mas must bo sent away, And then we will
expose the whole affair.1
Isabel bade Mrs. Dean be comforted,
saying that perhaps her son did not write
i the letter.

' That is placed beyond a doubt,' an

swered his mother. ' He certainly wrote
it. We know his hand writiug too well
to be deceived, and we know that he has
been gradually going the downhill road
to ruin, in company with that Robert
Willington.'
Isabel retired to her room and impa
tiently waited for the sun to go down,
being determined to go the. grove at. the
appointed hour and see the mysteriou?
writer of the letter which she found there
in the morning. Such a resolution may
seem fraught with danger, and imprudent;
but her whole happiness depended on the
casting of a die ; and the latent hope
which had been awakened in her bosom
that she might be able, to^ffect Evander's
liberation, rendered her insensible to all
minor considerations, and she was willing
to go forth with her life in her hand, at
auy moment, in such a cause. Prudence
and Policy are knavish words, and none
but knaves use them.
The clock had struck nine, ufld Isabel
had just taken up a book to amuse herself
with, when a loud scream from the gar
den caused her to start upon her feet.
A moment elapsed and one of the
scholars rushed into her room, cried out,
' oh ! save me !' and immediately fell
upon the floor in a swoon.
Mr. Dean
came running into the apartment and
inquired into the cause of the disturbance.
The girl recovered, and could only
answer, 'the garden, the garden !' Mr.
Dean took his staff and sallied out. He
returned soon, and said he saw nothing
more than usual, and rallied the poor
girl a little on her timidity. ' Oh then,'
said she, ' if you saw nothing, I am sure
I have not long to live, for I saw Death
standing before my eyes as plainly as I
now see you.'
A suggestion struck Isabel. She re
membered the skeleton, and immediately
suspected that the young men had
brought it to the house for safe .keeping,
and that in crossing the garden with it,
they met the school 'girl, and she had
mistaken it for the grim monster himself.
' Horrors surround me on every side,'
.-aid she mentallyami she shuddered at
the thought of repairing to the grove at
midnight.
At length the hour of twelve arrived
and when the last stroke ofthe clock was
sounding, Isabel started on her feet and
passed silently out of the house. The
moon was up and,her sickly light fell up
on the yellow tree tops and withered
heath imparing to the scene a sad and
desolate expression in keeping iwith the
sombre reflections of the harrassed and
woe worn orphan girl. Isabel directed
her steps towards the grove, being re
solved to face this new danger without
shrinking, for omnipotent love prompted
to such an act of self-devotion. She had
scarcely reached the tree before she dis
covered an object in white gliding
through the bushes and making towards
her. There was something peculiar in

the manner in which this woman ap

proached her. There was an air of collectedness, of ease, and even superioritv
which Isabel had not been accustomed
to see in those who stood in her pres
ence, and were acquainted with her name
and standing.
' Who can it be ?' sighed the poor
girl, and a strange feeling of awe and
veneration bowed her spirit, as the fe
male, (for such she proved,) advanced
and stood immediately before her. With
her arms folded on her breast, and her
large dark eyes fixed upon the frail be
ing before her, the mysterious stranger
stood like a statue of white marble, for
some minutes. A holy silence%seemed
to breathe around them, which Isabel
dare not break. At length 'the mysteri
ous lady threw her arms around Isabel's
neck, and pressed the wondering girl
fondly and ardently to her bosom. Isa
bel felt a warm tear upon her forehead.
She was deeply affected. It was long,
very, long, since she had been thus ten
derly caressed. "She had long felt like a
lone, desolate thiajg upon the earth, with
out one friend, and exposed unprotected
to the sordid artifices ofpretended friends,
the disheartening stings of disappoint
ment, and the wearing uncertainty of
hope deferred. Isabel still waited for the
stranger to break this affecting silence,
although her curiosity Was wrought up
to such a degree that she was forced to
lean against a tree fur support.
' Isabel !' said the lady in a soft voice.
Isabel looked up.
' Isabel, how long hast thou been with
out. a homo ?' continued the stranger.
' Not long,' said Isabel, in a tremulous
voice. ' 1 have a home, now.'
' How did you leave yoUr uncle, your
cousins ?'
' Well, very welloh! heavens, who
may you be ?'
' Owe that has been thy worst. enemv,
my poor suffering girl,' repliecfcthe other.
'My enemy I No. Impossible! cri
ed Isabel, ' you cannot have been my
enemy ; surely you have mistaken me
for some other person.'
The stranger passed her hand over her
eyes, and then fixing their keen gaze up
on' the countenance of Isabel, said, 'yes,
thy enemy. Well did you say that it was
impossible for me to be your enemv.
Oh ! it should have been impossible, for
'twas most unnatural.'
' Surely I never harmed you, ' said
Isabel, ' what could have made you my
enemy ?'
' Love !' cried the other energetically.
'Love, the tyrant which has wrecked the
peace of. more innocent hearts, and slain
more of the children of men than the
sword ! I have so long kept thy Evander
from thy arms ! I have vainly dallied with
a hopeless passion until Alonzo has be
come the inhabitant of a prison ; but I
possess the power to unlock, his prison
doorsto give hiin back to thee, and pro
nounce a blessing on your union which, ue

cording to received opinion, would not be

altogether valueless
Oh ! Isabel ! Isa
bel ! thou little knowest from what a
stern and desperate stock thou hast
sprung."
' If you possess the power to loose the
chains in which ray Alonzo is bound,'
cried Isabel, her thoughts resting entire
ly on that declaration of the mysterious
one, ' why should you delay one instant !
If
' Hold, my thoughtless pratler !' said
the other'there are reasons which you
know not of; although, now they ure of
one effect; I held in my Viands the pow
er to free Alonzo. H.e knew it. Was
net that consideration worthy the atten
tion of one who was willing to catch at
each reed of hope. Could I not use
my power to advance my own designs ?'
' Oh ! I am sorry, then, that you pos
sess the power'exclaimed Isabel'he
may, in a weak moment be tempted"
Not by me!' indignantly, yet ten
derly answered the other. ' No, Isabel,
I had understood by letter from your
friends in Ireland, that you had conquer
ed your affection for that angel youth
but from the moment that I became un
deceived, I banished his image from my
breast, and he is now yours by a double
claim.'
'You speak of ray friends in Ireland,'
answered Isabel, surely you are not the in
dividual who wrote to them from Amer
ica, and represented Alonzo in such an
' unamiable light, that ihey would not per
mit us to see each other ?'
' Surely I am, my girlj oh! 'twas a
crime for which years of repentance can
not atone, but, -indeed I had regarded your
attachment as a girlish passion which
could be easily cured, or else I should
not have laid my commands upon them
to separate you, even if I had been
certain of dying with a brokeu heart.'
' Your commands, madam ?'
' I said it girl, my commands ;' re
turned the lady' Oh ! Isabel ! Isabel !
thou wearost no weeds for thy mother.
Hast thou heard of her death !
' Most assuredly,' replied Isabel, ' I
heard the sad tidings before I left Ire
landbut, be pleased, whoever you are,
to speak more carefully on that subject.
I have a deep respect for her memory.
Would to God she had not died !'
' She was unworthy of thee !' cried
the lady, covering her face with her
hands and sobbing bitterly.
' I must insist,' said Isabel, that you
speak of my mother with more respect.
I cannot remain here to listen to 'the
slanders of a kind and indulgent parent,
the memory of whose death' is yet green
who is scarcely cold in her grave.'
'Didst thou, then, love thy mother so
tenderly,' cried the stranger springing
towards Isabel with outstreched arms

w*ilings

THE FAITHLESS HUSBAND.

To Joseph inev

There is no suffering more acute than

that felt by an affectionate and sensitive
mind, mourning over the violation of nup
tial vows. This suft'eiing is not confined
to the unhappy woman, in the dwelling
of poverty, who, at the midnight hour,
trembles, as she hears the approaching
footsteps of her drunken husbtind. Youmay go into many an elegantly furnished
abode, and find the broken hearted wife
and mother, surrounded by every exter
nal comfort, and yet in solitude, and si
lence, and tears. There is nothing that
will compensate for the neglects of those
we love. " I have seen," says a quaint
waiter, '' the accomplished wife, before
twenty moons had waned since she
changed her name, silting lone and soli
tary as the sparrow on the housetop.
Perhaps her health was now so delicate
that the nourishing care of her partner
was almost necessary to her existence;
but he was gone away to some political,
literary, or perhaps to some dissipated
club. Perhaps he returns at midnight,
breathing the fumes of wine, and steam
ing with the smoke of segars."
You call him a brute ho breaks his
wife's head ; so he also is a brute who
breaks her heart; and hnw many an un
happy wife sits friendless and alone, du
ring all the hours of the evening, and
even of the night, when her faithless hus
band is seeking his pleasures in other
society. How pa:nful must be her re
flections on thus finding her fondest an
ticipations disappointed, and the fireside,
at which she hoped to be blessed with
sympathy and society, deserted and deso
late. That man deerves not the gene
rous affections of a wife, who will not. in
vite her love by the respect and houout
of personal attention. It is not a (ew
gaudy trinkets and occasional freaks of
fondness that can give your wife a happy
heart, and make h*r hom^a happy one.
There must be real, substantial kindness,
the unequivocal evidence of love for the
society and joys of home.
It is not unfrequently that a wife
mourns over the alienated affections of
her husband when she has made no effort
herself to strengthen and increase his at
tachment. She th'nks, because lie once
loved her, he oufiht always to love her,
and she neglects those attentions which
first enchained his heart. Many a wife
' is thus the cause of her own neglect a'nd
sorrow. That woman deserves not a
husband's generous love, who will not
greet him with smiles as he returns from
the labours of the day; who will not try'
to chain him to his home by the sweet
enchantment of a cheerful room and a
cheerful heart. There is not one man
in it thousand so unfeeling ,as to with
stand such an influence, and break away
from such a hbme.

Time soon will come when we shall part.

And scenes I lovedand friends sincere,
Shall live within my cons ant heart,
And claim a sigh perchance a tear, .
And when I see some lovely form,
With angel eye and voice divine,
And every beauty that can charm,
Then shall t think of Josephine.
And when some soul inspiring tone,
In softening accents touoh my heart,
Then shall I think of thee alone,
And s gh that we should ever part.
And I shall list when far away,
To voices that resemble thine,
And often sigh where'er I stray,
To hear the voice of Josephine,
Those tones will often reach my heart,
And all thou wert bring to my view.
And oft shall memory's tear-drop start,
To tell of one beloved and true.
And too when musick charms my ear,
And thrills me with its notes divine,
Oh, then in memory I shall hear,
The voice of lovely Josephine.
Many a name shall be enshrined
Forever in my constant breast.
But never shall there be consigned,
Une friend to dead oblivion's rest.
But many a tho't X il sacrifice
On memory's ever burning shrine,
And high shall tuendships liame arise,
At thought ol lovely Josephine.
Perchance in after days she'll hear,
Full many a vevr lull many a prayer.
And one kind friend - too warmly dear,
Shall claim her tho t, shall claim her care,
And then shall he whom once she knew,
Still live ujioo her bosom's shrine,
Oh, a. .all he then e'er rise to view,
. And claim a thought from Josephine.

following remarks may pi event the loss
of life: Men are drowned by raising
their arms above water, the uubuoyed
weight of which depresses the head.
Aunnuls have neither notion nor ability
to act in a similar manner, and therefore
swim naturally. When a man falls into
deep water he will rise to the surface,
and continue there if he does not elevate
his hands. If he moves his hands under
water in any manner he pleases, his
head will rise so high as to allow him
liberty to breathe; and if he moves Ins
legi as in the act of walking up stairs,
his shoulders will rise above the water,
so that he may use less exertion with his
hands, or apply them to other purposes.

would hardly dare to molest you after
such a warning. '
Much more conversation i passed be
tween the mother nnd daughter, and it
was at last concluded that Isabel should
remain for the present at the house of
Mr. Dean,until, arrantiemnnts were made
to expose the guilt and perfidy of Welling
ton and procure the enlargement of Kvnnder. While the dew was.on the grass,
and before the Sun exposed his shining
face, Isabel's mother pre-sed her to hei
heart and bade her adieu.
Isabel returned to the house with a
throbbing heart. A load had been re
moved from her mind, and strange sen
sations, at once new and vivid had been
infused into ber soul. She had not only
found means to free her lover, but she
had even seen the maible jaws of the
sepulchre opened, and a mother mourned
as dead, coming up from the tomb on the
wings of maternal love to be her guardim anjrel anil her succour in the hour o\
deep and overwhelming distress.
'Hie gentle Isabel immediately retired
to her chamber, and kneeling down by
her bedside would have offered up hei
thanks to the great Bring who had led
her through so many dangers and doubtn
only to crown the end with joy and trans
port ; but her surcharged heait would
not permit this ordinary relief ; the gush
of her feelings was too powerful, tou
tender to be poured forth in words n
flood of tears, in which her very soul
seemed to be dissolved, was the offering
which she gave to Heaven. Then throw
ing herself upon her pillow, exhausted
nature yielded to balmy repose, and
blissful visions hallowed Ihe slumbers
this pure nnd noble-spirited virgin.
When Isabel awoke, the Sjivhad be
gan to decline towards the. West. She
was informed that a boy was waiting m
the porch in order to deliTer. her some
message, it was the son of a peasant ;
he handed Isabel a note from her mother
in which she requested the pocket bonk
and letter belonging lo Wellington. Isa

where by Champfort, where Ruhliere
said, ''I know not why I am called a
wicked man, for I never, in the whole
course of my life, committed but one act
of wickedness."The bishop of Autun
immediately exclaimed, with iiis full son

Indolent, voluptuous, born to wealth and

accustomed himself to a life of privation;
and he liberally shared with his friends
the only resources he had left, arising
from the sale of the wreck of his superb

because even in London, party-spirit pre

Retrospection. Oh, 'tis pleasant,
when we have returned from a long, long
absence, to revisit the scenes of our
childhood, and view in sweet retrospec
tion, the hallowed spot rendered dear to
us by 1 lie recollection of our happier days.
It brings back to our minds the time when
surrounded by our friends and kindred,
we gaily sported amid the smiles of those
dear objects who are now slumbering in
the tomb ! We were happy thenwe
knew not the troubles of life .; we were
strangers to sorrftw, nor had the heavy
hand cf affliction bowed our proud spir
its to the earth ! Had we then known the
numerous trials that awaited us, we
should have recoiled with horror at the
thought. Driven from our home by cru
el destiny, we have met the world's cold
frown with fortitude, we have buffeted
the raging billows of misfortune, the
storm of affliction has laid us lowwe
have languished in despair, and even
cursed the hour that gave us birth ! We
have met the world's cold frowns with
fortitude, like a stately oak,we have with
stood the peltingsof the pitiless storm ;
yet now when we are recalled to recol
lection by the scenes of the past ; our
hearts sicken within our bosomswe
weep even at our own miserybut there
is pleasure in our tears, it awakens feel
ings of the holiest nature and raises our
souls in holy devotion to Heaven !
There is something in the place of our
nativity that renders it dear to usno
matter how humbleno matter how mis
erable. The lonely thatched cottage is
dearer far to its inhabitants, than the
pomp and splendor of a palaceshow'
and grandeur can never purchase happi
ness to a heart laden with sorrow and
misfortune. Gold may indeed satisfy our
bodily wants, but can never. afford conso
lation to a troubled mind It deludes us

inations like an ignis-fatuus to the brink
of destruction, when it suddenly vanishes

A few days ago a gentleman on look

charge of six or seven shillings more on
a coat than he had been accur-totned to

THE INDIAN RACE.
Excepting in the case of William
Penn, the dealings of the white men
with their red neighbors, the course pur
sued by Christians towards heathen sav
ages has been marked with deceit, injus

hospitable, high-souled, and generous ;
but the white man lias invariably requit

and fiendish malignity. The rightful
lords of the soil have been cheated of
their lands, pursued with fire and sword,
driven from the' sepulchres of their fa
thers, and when every insult and inju
ry has beon heaped upon them, the least
show of resentment on their part, has
been as loudly deprecated and anathe
matised as if they were the unprovoked
aggressors, lawless marauders, and mer

kept with the Indians.' They have been
treated as dumb beasts of the forest,
whom it is lawful for every one to hunt
and to kill. Time after time have they
been compelled to remove, to leave their
hearths and their homes to be desecrat

christian. The word civdizatiun has

ORIGINAL FABLES.
Written for the Gleaner.
The Lion and the Skunk.
A Skunk once challenged a Lion to

cepting it. "How !" said the Skunk,
"are you afraid ?" "Yes." replied the
Lion, "you would only gain fame by hav
ing had the honour to fight with a Lion,
while every one who met me, for a
month to come, would know that I had
been in the company of a skunk."
MORAL.

There is no honor gained by a victory

over one who is too contemptible to ex
cite your anger.
The Ant-bear and the Serpent.
A large Serpent once boasted to an
Ant-bear that he could enter a smaller
hole, than the other could. The Antbear disputed him, and they agreed to
make the trial. The Serpent selected a
deep winding fissure in a rock, where
the turns were so sudden and short, that
although the Ant-bear tried till he sweat,
he found that he could not screw him
self in without risking the breaking
of his ribs. The Snake then moved for
ward to the trial, and glided to the very
bottom without trouble. "Ah !" said
the Ant-bear, "if you had not been so
crooked, you never could have got in."
MORAL.

By turning and twisting and accommodating themselves to the times, many

men wiggle themselves iato favor with
the great, while those whe are made of
more substantial materials are kept out
of office.

The Tumbler and Pitcher.

A saucy tumbler once said to a large
brown Pitcher that stood beside it :
"You would be a tolerably good looking
fellow, if it were not for that ugly nose
which is growing out of your side."
"You impertinent little rascal," an
swered the Pitcher, "it is through this
nose which you despise so much that all
the liquor flows which replenishes your
squat figure."
moral.
''My friend Dick has one weak side,"
said Tom Brainless, "he has no prudence,
but is too liberal for his own good." It
is well known that his friend Dick has
several times given him'a round sum to
save him from going to jail.
The Candle and Inkstand.
Once when Sir Isaac Newton was
writing by candle light, the Candle look
ed scornfully down upon the Inkstand
which stood beside it, and said, "Stand
farther off, you little black fellow ! how
dare you remain so near one of my im
portance ?"
"Pray who are you, and what are
your pretensions ?" answered the Ink
stand.
"Zounds, sir !" cried the candle, Hair
ing proudly, "I give light to the whole
room."
*
"And I," replied the Inkstand, "I en
lighten the whole world."
moral.
Those actions are not aiways of the
most importance, whose effects are the
soonest visible.
the Bear and Sheep.
' A bear once accosted a sheep on this
wise : ' My woolly friend, I have often
wondered at your wearing that white
dress. It must always expose you to ob
servation in the night. Now I find my
dark complexion of great use to me ; for
in prowling about in the dark, I am not
easily distinguished. I advise you to get
yourself a black suit immediately.'
' Were I in your place,' answered the
sheep, ' I might need it ; but as I never
am afraid of being seen, I really do not
need another dress.'
Moral.
Innocence needs no disguise.

The Eagle and the Peacockv

"Are not you ashamed," suid a Pea*cock to a gray Eagle, "to make so dull
and shabby an appearance you- who
can mount to the very clouds !*'
"Are not you ashamed,' rather," re
plied the Eagle, "to make such a boast

' How do they address you?' asked the
Fox.
' One of them' continued she,

my beauty also, but I do not like hini

faults.'
' Take the third, by all means, mad

be honorable, for if he tries to reform
your character, it must be that he in
tends to spend his days with you.'
Moral.
He who flatters, his mistress may be
desirous of gaining a favor, but he who
convinces her of her faults confers one.
The Sword-Blade and Scabbard.
A sword which had rested for a long
time in its scabbard, became very much
attached to its fellow, and the scabbard
repaid the friendship of the sword by
being very partial to it in return.
They therefore entered mlo a com
pact, vowing that they never would sep
arate from each other. Shortly after they
had mutually sworn to this agreement,
their owner belted them on and went on
a journey. He was assailed by a robber
on the highway. The man tried to draw
his sword, but true to his vow, it stuck
to the sheath and would not come out.
The consequence was that the gentleman
was knocked on the head, for want of a
sword to defend himself with. The rob
ber then,stripped and plundered his vic
tim. ' This sword.' said he, ' will bo- of
use to ins,' and he tried to draw it from
the heath but in vain^ He then dashed
the scabbard to pieces against a rock and
ran away with the naked sword.
Perceiving its error, the sword ex
claimed : ' Oh fool that I was ! had I

The Lion and the Sheep.
A sheep, being pursued by wolves,fled i
for protection into a lion's cave, Thu-i

generous beast took pity upoifcthe help

less and forlorn sheep, and told her that
as long as she chose to remain under his
protection, he would defend her from
harm. The sheep penetrated with gra
titude, vowed that she would never leave
her guardian but would reside with him
forever in his cave.
The lion and the sheep lived very am
icably together for some days ; until the
former,having occasion to go on an expetion, called the sheep to him and said :
' My dear friend, I am going abroad in
quest of prey ; and shall probably be ab
sent several days. I would therefore take
this opportunity to remind you of your
engagement to remain with me foreveV.
So long'^you continue in my cave, you
will be safe, but should you venture to
leave it during my absence, I cannot be
accountable for any mischance which
such imprudence may bring upon your
self.' The sheep seemed very much sur
prised that the lion should doubt her de
votion to him, or that he should deem it
possible for her*o desert his cave in his
absence. She vowed that nothing should
ever tempt her to stray abroad, but that
she should occupy the den alone, and re
main inconsolable until his return.
Being well satisfied with her promise,
the .lion set out on his journey.
As soon as the lion was fairly out of
sight, a wolf approached the mouth
of the cave.
He felt too much re
spect for his friend, the lion, to enter
his cave with felonious intentions, but
thought if he could persuade the sheep to
come out to him of her own free will, he
-Siiotlid be justified in breaking his morn
ing fast with a muiton chop.
He therefore began to rally tfie sheep
upon her domestic habits. ' I am sur
prised,' said he, 'that so young and
beautiful a creature as you, should mew
yourself up in a lonely cave, while every
other beast is abroad on the earth enjoy
ing the luxury of this fine morning.'
The silly sheep was much tickled- by
this compliment to her beauty, but repli
ed that she did not dare to venture out
while a wolf was so near. 'You are an
enemy to our whole family,' said she.
'Not more so than the lion is,' replied the
wolf, ' Do you not suppose that a wolf
cannot be true to his word as well as a
lion ? Zounds, madam, do you doubt my
honor !' and he licked bis chopa with
great dignity.
The sljcep no longer hesitated. She
ventured boldly forth, and she and the
wolf set out on their travels, the latter
vowing that he would protect her with
the last drop of his blood. But they had
not. travelled far before the wolf leaped
upon the foolish sheep, and would have
torn her to pieces had she not fled back
to the lion's .'ave, wounded and bloody.
The wolf pursued her to the very
mouih of the den, but then turned and

W hen the lion returned homc.hc found
the sheep, lying on the bottom of the

cave, and weak with the loss of blood.

She_ rose up as the lion entered and
staggering towards him, began to inveigh
bitterly against the wolf, who, she said :
had enticed her away from the afire and
then sought to kill her. She then added,
'' As you have promised to protect me, I
expect you to pursue after the wolf im
mediately and revenge my wrongs.'
The lion's eyes glared with fire as he
said : ' I think thou art a sheep of un
common impudence ! I promised to pro
tect thee so long as thou remained under
my guardianship. I did not promise to
revenge wrongs which thou might sus
tain while in the very act of faithlessness
to me. If you chose to desert my cave
and go under the protection of another,
you must be content to endure such usagc as he has seen proper to inflict upon
you.'

The following which appeared in the

Rhode Island Republican, as a commu
nication, contains an independent view
of the Convent affair, and agreeably to
the motto of that paper, ('Hear both
sides, and then determine,') we give it
an insertion in the Gleaner.
Destruction op the Ursuline Con
vent. In the observations which we arc
about to make in regard to this estab
lishment, we wish our readers distinctly
to understand that wo are no advocates
of violence and disorder, on the contrary
we deprecate all popular commotion and
illegal redress of public insults or public
grievances.
But while we would support with our
whole heart the supremacy of the laws,
our indignation is by no means wilheld
from those who presume to insult public
feeling, or to exasperate or defy the pop
ular indignation which they have raised
and which it is in their power to allay.
We would excuse no man for being the
sole cause of others burning our house,
or murdering our brother, any more than
we would if he had done it himself, and
on this ground we cannot help believing
that the Bishop of this establishment was
culpable in a very high degree, he know
ing that the disappearance of the Nun
had excited commotion, and he equally
well knew that a true and honest exhibi
tion of the circumstances attending it
backed by proper evidence of its correct
ness would at once allay the storm and
quiet the excited feeling of the' populace.
But instead of this he chose, it seems, to
wrap himself in the cloak of religious
sanctity and defy the fury he had provok
ed. But he should have recollected that
the time i long past when the precincts
of a Convent were considered sacred, or
when the person of a Priest escaped the
punishment due to his crimes on account
of the pretended sanctity of his calling.

The public well know, and have long

known that Nunneries have been for ag
es in other countries, the foulest ainks of
debauchery and corruption. Witness for
example, the Convent that stood upon the
border of a creek in Spain, in the bottom
of which creek, on its being drained for
some public object, was found the decay
ing carcasses of upwards of fourteen
hundred Infants ! It was not uureason
able then for the community of Charlestown to suspect on the mysterious disap
pearance of an individual from such an
establishment that some foul and unholy
proceeding had been had in regard to
her. It is said by the director of the Con
vent that the woman was deranged, but
it appears to us that her secret departure
from the house, her application to afriend
to convey her to the private residence of
one of her former pupils remote from the
establishment, her dread of being appre
hended and returning to it again, her ag
itation and concern for her own safety,
all go to show in the clearest manner that
she was neither weak minded nor insane.
If all was right at the Convent why should
she desire to shun it? and if nothing wrong
had been done to her by the director or
the concern, why this violent apprehen
sion on their partwhy this monstrous
anxiety? Many of the community believe
that it was a fear.of exposure, and the re
fusal of the Bishop to let her remain qui
etly at home (instead of returning for 2
or 3 weeeks to the Convent,) goes far to
confirm them in the suspicion, that there
was some project to complete, some se
cret to conceal from the public, in whom
the whole concern, or the Bishop at least,
was deeply interestedAfter she had refused to return, why
was it necessary on the part of the Bish
op to compel her to return for two or three
weeks in order that she might be dis
charged with honor? For ourselves we
are of opinion that there is some foul
proceeding behind the curtain, and the
community have a right to demand an
explanation grounded on better authority
than the bare ipse dixits of the party im
plicated.
P. S. We most sincerely hope that
the good people of Boston will take the
matter into consideration, before Ihey
contribute their money to rear up and
foster such an absurd and dangerous in
stitution as a Convent, in the bosom of
their community.
Tho true motives of our actions, like
the real pipes of an organ, are tisualry
concealed. But the gilded and hollow
pretext is pompously placed in the front
for show.

THE BRUTE CREATION" No flocks that range the valley free
To slaughter I condemn:
Taught by that Power that pities me,
I learn to pity them."
PerhapB one of the principal duties
vhich devolve upon us as moral beings,
s, kindness to oar fellow animals of oth:r species. When we consider that all
he enjoyment of which brutes are capa)le consists in the health, ease, and wel
fare of the bodies which wholly compose
hem, our duties to man almost seem a
econdary object when compared tp those
vhich we owe to inferior beings. Anoher consideration which should weigh
,owerfully with every generous mind, is,
hat our intellectual faculties give us such
in ascendancy as to render them comI'.etely in our power. To take advanage of our superiority to oppress them,
>etrays us unworthy of it. If we have
10 special command in Scripture to treat
>rutes with kindness, it is because the
:ommon sense of mankind is a sufficient
uide in this respect; but .we are sorry
o say that the common sense of mankind
s often strangely at variance with their
,rnctice. It is a self-evident fact that
vherever pain or unhappiness can be aoided, without injury to ourselves, it
hould be done; and if wa acknowledge
hat brutes possess feeling, we ask for
10 other argument. An angel from
leaven would not be able to enforce our
luty more strongly than does this simple
jroposition.
If men can live as longi enjoy as good
iearth, and endure equal fatigue without
he use of animal food, then they give
leedless pain" and inflict unnecessary
nisery when they draw the fish from his
ative element, drive the cold lead into
de body of the harmless bird, slaughter
lie noble ox, or tear the calf from its disracted dam to fill their tables with bloodought luxuries; of the horrid cruelties
illicteil upon horses and some other anilals to render them obedient to man, we
ioed not speak. We would ask those
^ho profess to be governed by moral priniple how they can reconcile it to their
onscicnces to turn horses adrift in their
ild age to perish misernbly, who have
fiithfully served them alt their lives.
,Ye know it is said that some brutes prey
ipon others, and we mny ask with
Pope,
"Admires the jiy the inseetVgilded wings,
Or hears the hawk when Philomela sings?"
Does this objection affect our argunentl We acknowledge there is pain,
ind sickness, nnd death in this world, but
loes this justify us in adding to the amount
,f misery? If it does, then let us say
hat as Napoleon and others have led
heir legions to the field of death, we are
ustificd in knocking out the brains of
,ur neighbor whenever it suits our con
venience. It is said that in breathing we
lestroy the lives of innumerable animal-

culae at every inspiration, and therefore

we have a right to destroy all the rest of
the irrational creation. We are so con
stituted, and the world is so ordered that
we cannot avoid inflicting some degree
of pain cr misery every day of our lives.
If I increase in wealth, the sum added to
my fortune, is drawn from the purses of
the world at largeIf I purchase the
best fruit in market, I deprivo other pur
chasers of the chanceIf I build a house
on the pleasantest scite, no other can ob
tain itThe hawk preys on smaller birds
than himself. He fs driven to this act
by stern necessity; but shall I, who can
live on other food, follow his example,
and deprive a bird of its little existence,
unnecessarily? Surgeons must cut off
limbs, and inflict much needful painshall
I follow up the practice by an uncalled
for amputation of my friend's legs and
arms.
If there must be a certain portion of
misery in the warld, let us reduce it into
as small a compass as possible. ,
Brutes are as susceptible of pain as
human beings What matters it, then,
when the pain is actually inflicted,
whether the body of a man or a brute
suffers? Are our bodies any more ex
cellent than theirs? Are not both mere
elementary matter, mortal and earthly?
Wo know this is not one of those doc
trines which is calculated to find many
adherents. It strikes at the root ofmany
old fashioned customs, and its practice
would be a sore hindrance in a large
number who are '' making haste to be
rich." It will be a long time before it is
promulgated in the pulpit. Our friends
of the ebon habit are not very eager to
take up the cross where it is attended
with ny great inconvenience to them
selves. We can sometimes turn other
duties to good account. By obeying the
Laws, we can keep out of prison, and
sustain a good character, (a very useful
commodity to people who are desirous to
make money ;) by doing as we would be
done by to our neighbors, vje may win
golden opinionsby acts of charity, we
may gain a great name, and receive the
like good offices in return when we need
them. In short, by fulfilling the duties
which we owe our fellow men,, we may
advance our own interest; but when we
disinterestedly devote ourselves to the
welfare of the brute creation, we may
expect no return. Ah! there's the rub.
SLUGS IN A SAW-PIT.
Our neighbor of the Artisan, in speak
ing of the acquital of Mr. Hooper, in
dicted for sending a challenge and fight
ing a duel, attributes the ' impartial
charge' of the Judge, and the favorable
verdict of the Jury to the influence of
wealth, and thinks that if a poor man had
been in the box,one incompetent to
employ ingenious and learned counsel
he would have been punished to the ut

most extent of* the law. We do most

cordially agree with the'Artisan. That
stuff called Justice is too rare and valua
ble to be sold at a cheap rate. The softskinned nabob must be handled tenderly;
and he is able to get a pair of gloves for
the hands of Madam Justice, and a
sheath for her sword. A couple of fath
oms of white rope don't cost much, and
every poor devil can purchase that.. We
should like to see these things reversed.
The laboring man, to whom 'time is mo
ney,' is accused of a crime and thrown
into prison. He is not able to procure
a bondsman, and must languish In a dun
geon, exposed to the insults of his brutal
keeper, while his large family are perish
ing with hunger. The rich man pays a
few hundred dollars, and is set at libertyA little confinement would not hurt him;
his unwieldy paunch requires depletion,
and a temporary abstinence from his high
seasoned dishes might prevent an apo
plectic stroke. But while we deprecate
the whole 'course of law' as a humbug
and a curse,a vampyre that feeds on
the blood and sweat of men who are gen
erally much better than the judges who
sentence themwe would say that we
are not sorry that Mr. Hooper, though
a rich man, has been able to employ
learned and ingenious counsel, and to
gain his liberty. We do think that if
there is any case in which Justice should
be hood-winked it is that of a man who
has fairly nnd openly faced his antago
nist in battle. We are not the advocates
of duelling, but wo consider the 'man of
honour' a saint when compared with
those who are generally the most severe
upon his practices. You will hear a
sanctimonious personage inveigh bitterly
against the man who could shoot a fellow
creature in cold blood, while he feels not
the least qualm of conscience for ruining
the hopes of an aspiring youth, or beg
garing an honest family who have in
some shape offended him, or who per
haps do not subscribe- to his religious
oreed! Using the influence which his
character for sanctity has given him over
the minds of superficial persons, (and the
community is mostly composed of such,)
he goes about from house to house blight
ing the character of him whom he hates,
and preventing persons from employing
or dealing with him. If such fellows
would answer a challenge, duelling might
be of service in ridding the world of hy
pocrites, but unfortunately it is only the
noble, the generous, and the brave who
are exposed to its dangers, and it is far
that cause that we are always sorry$o
hear of a duel.

SUMMARY JUSTICE.
We had a negro on board, of a very
sullen and repulsive aspect, who bore
the cognomen of Qnaco. He belonged
to the captain of the schooner, who had
treated him with great kindness, and
cured him of that scourge of the Afri
can called ' mal d'estomac,' caused by
eating earth : that his cure might bo

him up the Oronoco with us, and as he

Indies, cook room, employed htm as
cook on board the schooner. The crew
CO
aving been very much fatigued with
eir exertions that day, the captain orred his cook to make some good cof
fee, and enough for all on board. This
was presently brought us, but the lad
who served us as steward, an intelligent
Creole youth, the moment he placed it
upon the table, besought us, with earnest
entreaties, not to touch it, saying that he
felt certain that there was something
wrong in it, and that he had already
cautioned the crew. The captain was
inclined to treat the boy's warning- as
some idle suspicion, observing that the
man had not been on shore, and that
the medicine. chest was safely- locked.;
But nothing could.'pacify the boy-.
'- Look at sir,' said he,earnestly, 'smell
it, end say if it is as it ought to be.'
' Why it is- rather thick,' said the cap
tain, and, taking the- cup in his hand,
'and egad ! it does smell rather queer.'
I.inquired whether he had , any test
on board that might detect any thing de
leterious. .
True,' said he, ' I have ir test, and a
sure one ;' und.he reached a caso. from
the lockers.from which he drew a brace of
pistols, and very deliberately began to
load thenv.
' What would you. do ?'- I exclaimed.
' Surely upon such slight .grounds you
would not'
' Don't be alarmed,' said he, interrupt
ing me, 'I shall do nothing rash ; and ho
coolly examined. the flint. Having load
ed and primed the weapons.
' Call down Quaco and all the crew.'
They came into the cabin. The cook
was called forward, and the crew throng
ed round the door.
' Quaco,' said the captain, sternly,
drink that cup of cpffee to the very
dregs.'
' I don't like coffee,' said the African,
drawing back in evident surprise and ala.rm.
' Swallow it this instant !'
The negro took a spoonful of the mix

ture, though trembling with fear. He

held it in his mouth for a moment, and
then spit it out.
' Force him to take it, sir,' said one of
the sailors.
' He would have poisoned the whole of
us,' said a stout Angosturian : ' St. An
tonio and the saints keep us !' and he
crossed himself most devoutly. The sair
lors made an advance as though they
would have enforced the request of the
former, when the captain called out
' Stand off ; let no one lay hands up
on him.' He then emptied the cup which
held the liquid into a vessel containing
about a pint or more, and addressed the
negro :
' Do you see these pistols ? Each -con
tains two balls. You are a guilty man if
you refuse to drink the coffee you- have
made, and you only choose your death ;
for, as God is just, your minutes are
numbered. But if you drink, and are
unharmed by it, I will give you your
freedom . for accusing you unjustly. I
promise it in the presence .cf theso wit
nesses. Now drink it.'
The negro looked as though he underktood ihe action of his mastr if ho did
not fully comprehend hi- words :
appeared. to meditate a flight on decck
but the crew seemed to anticipate his in
tentions, aiid their angry gestures plain
ly told him what mercy he might expect
at -their hands. Meanwhile all was silent
as death, save the clicking or noise
which accompanies the cocking of pis
tols. The negro paused ; big drops of
sweat poured down his dark brow like
rain ; his eyes glared wildly round, and
the paleness of death was on his lips.
' Drink it this instant, you black mur
derous villain !' cried the captain, who
had now no doubt of his guilt, and he
levelled his pistol at his head.
The African, with a convulsive grasp,
seized the jug, and while his teeth chat
tered against its edge, drank every drop;
then rolling his eyes frightfully, either
from fear or agony, sunk with a deep
groan upon the floor of the cabin. Ai
murmur of execration rose from -the
crew as he fell, and not one moved- for
ward to assist the wretched man. Wheth
er the captain thought ho was hardly
warranted in enforcing such, summary
justice, or that a slight shade of compas
sion came over him, he. immediately en
deavoured to ascertain tho nature of the
poison with whieh it was evident that the
coffee had been drugged : but the negro
either could not or would not answer.
We examined his chest, and sought for
a clue, but without success, until some of

[Price One Cent.

the crew discovered a quantity of Savan

nah flowers (eschiles suberectaj a most
deadly poison, which the assassin had
picked out from the refuse of the mules,
the instict of the animals always induc
ing them to reject it from their food.
Satisfied with this discovery, we return
ed to the cabin, where we found the
youth who had warned us in the first in
stance, on his knees, returning thanks to
Providence - for having been the means of
saving us from a dreadful death. His
thanksgivings were only interrupted by
the groans of the negro, who was writh
ing on the floor, apparently in his last
agony. We prepared an emetic of white
vitriol, which we forced the murderer to
swallow ; but it was useless, for in a few
minutes he expired in dreadful tortures.
Many a time since have I been haunted
by that dark, agonized, despairing face,
and the recollection of those dying
groans.

MUNICIPAL COURT.
One Mr. King was brought before
Judge Thatcher, charged with assault
ing and wounding his wife, with intent
to kill. The prisoner is a colored man.
We saw nothing peculiarly ferocious in
-his appearance. The story which he
told was much more plausible than the
declarations of his accusers, although
as the witnesses were under oath, we are
obliged to swallow their tough stories,
though wc burst our windpipe in the at
tempt. The witnesses were mostly fe
males, and it is well known that 'the fair
sex are seldom averse to taking advan
tage of any opportunity to vindicate the
"rights of women," and encourage the
, rebellion of wives against that sex which
God and Nature have proclaimed their
lords and masters. When we saw that
Mr. King was a colored man and a poor
one to boot, wc at once gave him up for
lost. We knew that 'money, the Christ
ian's god,' would not be. jingled in his
behalf, and that all true Christian juries
would convict a man whose color was so
nearly allied to that of their Devil ! It
is now a generally acknowledged fact
that negroes have no souls, and a black
man should never be believed excepting
when his evidence goes to the conviction
of another black man. We would ad
vise that King should be banished to Li
beria, as hanging is Uo good for him.
Poom King was obliged to plead his own
cnusl, which he did with a calm self-pos.
session which innocence alone could give
buf alas ! of what avail is it for an un
lettered African to defend himself before
a white jury ? Had the prisoner been
able to employ counsel, a few rhetorical
figures and nourishes of the hand would
undoubtedly have amelioriated the ver
dict greatly ; but had he been a white
man, he would probably have been ac
quitted ; and in so saying we do not pre
tend that the jury, of whom wc know
nothing, were any other than conscien
tious men who think they have done their
duty but custom and prejudice, like
subtle poisons, may work unseen. It is
not the fault of the jury ; it is the fault
\ of the age.

The following remarks on ballooning,

if we may be allowed the use of such an
outrageous participle, are from the Satur
day Courier. We claim no relationship
to the coarse, Vandal brutes who would
decry every thing which is not absolute
ly productive of eatable and wearable
commodities. We believe in the superi
ority of mind over matter, and that what
ever tends to exalt the soul and dignify our
nature, is of more consequence than hot
corn and linsey-woolsey trowsers. We
insert the following, not because the man
went up in his balloon, but because he did
not go up.
Balloons. These airy conveyances
are becoming very fashionable. For
merly an oeronaut was quite a rare bird,
and when one of them winged his flight
into the blue empyrean, as young poets
call the upper regions, he was a spectacle
of much astonishment to the
" Wondering upturned eyes
Of mortals, who fell back to gaze on him,
As he bestrode the lazy-pacing cloudi.
And sailed upon the bosom of the air."

Now-a-days the thing has become so

common, that the astonishment has ceas
ed, but the curiosity is in no degree aba
ted. Every body who is too indolent to
work, manufactures a balloon, pompous
ly announces his intention to ascend, and
then draws together thousands of gullible
citizens. Whether he really means to go
or not cannot be ascertained

until after

the hour has passed.

Baltimore has of late been very prol
ific in these aeriel voyagers. There they
are as thick as blnckberries. Two have
recently honoured our city with their
presence; and one of these two has taken
the liberty of disappointing us: we will
not say wilfullybut of that more here
after.
A Mr. George Elliott advertised in
the public prints that, on Monday last, he
would make a "Grand Ascension" from
Camden, taking with him an " intrepid
young lady." Accordingly on that day
the city poured forth its thousands
merchants left their counting houses, ar
tisans quitted their labors; lawyers threw
down their briefs; doctors hurried from
their patients; school boys played truant,
to the great relief of their masters, who
also wanted to see the show; old women
adjusted 'their spectacles; old men gras
ped their walking sticks; and all who
could raise the needful directed their
course towards our neighbouring city.
His honor, the Mayor; his highaess, the
Sheriff; and various other dignitaries min
gled in the mass, willing to enjoy the
pleasing sight; and indeed such was the
commoved state of public curiosity, that
from high noon to four, P. M. there was
a perpetual flow of passengers, both
great and small, across the Delaware. It
was a glorious day for the ferry boats and
the taverns.

The preparations for the ascension

were made in an enclosed space sufficient
to accommodate several thousand ' per
sons. This was rather more than com
fortably filled by spectators, a large por
tion of whom paid fifty cents a-piece for
the privilege. As the hour approached
at which the voyage was to be com
menced, it seemed pretty evident to the
knowing ones that the lady, at least,
would not be likely to embark, as the
inflation was altogether inadequate to car
ry two persons. This conjecture proved
correct, for after a pretended effort the
lady was withdrawn, and Mr. Elliot made
several trials to ascend alone, but with
out success.
At this period various symptoms of dis
approbation were manifested, and soon
afterwards the great preportion of specta
tors, fearing a disturbance, pocketed their
disappointment and returned to the city.
Some of the more turbulent remained,
and partially destroyed the balloon which
had been the innocent cause of their dis
appointment.
A general feeling of vexation prevailed
against Mr. Elliott throughout Monday
evening and the following day. It was
thought by must persons, and ourselves
among the number, that a man is not jus
tified in holding out inducements suffi
cient to attract many thousand persons
from their ordinary avocations unless ho
is amply prepared to realize them; and
it was not considered an available excuse
for Mr. Elliott that his materials were in
sufficient to produce the quantity of gas
necessary for a full inflation of his bal
loon . That matter should have been
properly cared for beforehand.
To extricate himself from the dilemma"
in which he is placed, Mr. Elliott has
addressed a card to the public in which
he denies that there was any want of
preparation or any fault in the materials
used, in confirmation of which he assorts
that the whole process was under the di
rection of Mr. M. L. Gordon of this ci
ty1 Mr., Gordon, we are told, declines
the honorjmputed to him. Be this as it
may, We have the assurances of several
gentlemen who stood near the balloon
during the whore-afternoon, at least until
the hour fixed for the ascension had pas
sed, that, so far as they could perceive,
and their opportunities were ample, no
person either cut a hole in the balloon, or
broke the pipes, though Mr. E. express
ly declares that these and other interfe
rences were the real cause of his fail
ure'
Mr. Elliott charges his want ofsuccess
to a combination raised by the efforts oi'
a rival. His allusion, we suppose, is to
Mr. Mills, who made an ascension from
this city some two. months or more ago.
We have no personal knowledge of Mr.
Mills, but we were present on the occa
sion just referred to, and we were then
struck with his firmness and intrepidity.
His arrangements were accurate and com

and did start, and so masterly was every
thing connected with his ascension that
he gained the applause and admiration
of all who saw him. Against such a
man, unless Mr. Elliott is well fortified
with proof, a charge so infamous should
not have been made; and, unless it is abundantly sustained, it must recoil upon
the accuser. For our own parts we say

William Belgrave had scarcely attain

had solicited her hand in marriage, which
was granted, and the day nppointed for

color fled from her beautiful cheek, a tear

for she immediately formed the heroic
resolution of following him to the martini

THE TALL GENTLEMAN'S

APOLOGY.
Upraid me notI never swore
Eternal love to thee,
For thou art only five feet high,
And I am six feet three ;
I wonder, dear, how you supposed
That I could stoop so low
*Tw only some that can tie a knot,
Though all may fix a beaux.
Besides, you must confess, my love,
The bargain scarcely fair,
For never could we make a match,
Although we made npair !
Marriage I know, makes one of two,
But here's the horrid bore
The priest declares if you are one,
Then I at least am four.
'Tis true that moralists have said
Thai love his got no eyes,
But why should all my sighs be heaved
For one who has no size ?
And on my wedding day I'm sure
I'd leave you in the lurch,
For you never saw a steeple dear,
In the inside of a church.
'Tis ubu&\ for a wife to take
Her husband by the arm,
But pray excuse me should I hint
A son of fond alarm,
That when my arm I offered you,
That happiness to beg,
Yeur highest effort dear, would be
To take me by the leg.
I do admit I wear a glass,
Because my sight's not good,
Bat were I always quizzing you,
It might be counted rude,
And though 1 use a convex lens,
By all the goeU ! I hope,
?Iy wife will ne'er look up to mo
Through Herschel's Telescope.
Then, Tare thee well my gen tie one!
I ask no parting kiss,
I must not break my back to gain

So exquisite a bliss ;
Nor will I weep, lest I should hurt
So delicate a flower
The tears that fell from such a height
Would be a thunder shower.
Farewell ! and pray don't drown yourself
In a basin or a tub,
For that would be a sore disgrace
To all the Six Feet Club,
But if you over love again,
Love on a smaller plan,
For why extend to six feet three,
A life that's but a span.

Singular Will and Funeral.Among curious wills, that of Louis Cartusius, a Judge of Padua, deserves to
be mentioned ;here are some of the
principal ni tides: 1st. I forbid my
house being hung with black after my
death, and I desire that all who attend
my funeral may be dressed in green.
2d. I require that there be collected all
the violins, all the flutes, and all the
drums in the city, in order that they may

laugh most at my interment.
Never did a funeral present a more
singular appearance. There were all
the relations of the deceased, striving to
laugh, with as much sincerity as under
the usual circumstances they would have
endeavored to crv. The will was disput

of a madman ; but the lawyer who was
retained to defend it, maintained that a
Judge could nover be charged with

soning the will was pronounced valid.

That woman fastened a potent charm around me, around my very heart. She
fixed herself there, and I thought she
would dwell forever. I strove to wrench
her from me, but I could notshe was
too lovely. Were it not for her levity, I
might have hated her. But 1 could not
tear her from me. 1 thought, and was
really persuaded, that she was the one
with whom I had determined to associate.
I saw in her, intellect, genius, every
thing I desired. I loved hershe was
one who seemed fitted to change n dun
geon to a paiadise. She was all but im
mortal to the sight, and all but a fairy in
her joyousness. She met me with her
love; and as the tender vine clings to the
dark and stalely tree, so did she cling to
my bosom, and place her hopes in my af
fections. But though we embraced each
other with all the'ardor of affection, how
different to each other in constitution!
Before I took her wholly to myself, I
waited for the assurance that she was in
reality what I wished her Hooked carefullyfiuu,J.- Ik>t intellectual, TIITrt was

My books were now the chief objects

determined, ami having much to do with
a great work I was planning, she was
driven almost from my thoughts; amid
my many schemes of ambition she was
placed, but was a dim star in comparison
to others which attracted me. I gradu
ally became foigetful of her, for ambition
was displaying its great and rare e'ghts
to its proud votary. 1 was conceiving
thoughts to accomplish the work- 1 had
planned. I determined to forget her, and
bntle her remain in the prt-cincts of her

I was engaged should be completed.

methought I penetrated to the very sanc
