Their ottani was not founded on that vague - and evotiesceirt passion which often lives and dies ittinott in the same umment —spit pathy and esteem 'formed Me basis of their attachment. Tune and experience, without diminishing the ardour, had confirmed the perinatiesice of their mutual seutimenta. It was lon g since they had dis covered that they were fortnedfor rush tither, but want of fortune imposed the necessity of a tedious probation ; tilt Selluer, by MAN' g the patent for a place, found himself in possession of an easy competence, and on the following Sunday brought home in triumph his lone-betiothed bride. A succession of ceremonious visits for some weeks engrossed many of thme hours that the y oung couple would hove devoted to each other. • • But no sooner was this onerous duty folfilleil, thou they eagerly escaped from the iotrusinii of society to their delicious solitude; and the lisle summer oveniags were but too short for plans and enticipa *ions of future felicity. Sellntir's dote and Jo sephine's harp filled up the intervals of conver sation, and with their harmonious unison seemed to sound the prelude to many succredoug yews of Lliss and concord. One evening, when Josephine hail played longer than usual, she suddenly complained of head-itch; she had, in reality, risen with this symptom of indisposition, hut concealed it from her anxious husband; naturally susceptible of tiervous complaints, the attention which she bud lent to the music, and the emotions it excited in her delicate frame, had increased a slight indisposition to fever, and she was now evidently ill. A physician was - called in. who so little anticipated datiger that lie promised a cure on the morrow. But alter a usglit spent in delirium, her disorder was 'prunouuced a nervous fever, which completely baffled the efforts of medical skill, and on the Muth day was confessedly mortal. Josephine herself was pet feetly sensible of her approschiug dissolution, and with mild resigna ailltioll submitted to her fate. Addressing her husband, for the last time, she leer:kilned : " My dear Edward, Heaven can witness it is with unutterable regret that I depart from this fair world, where I have found with thee a state of supreme felicity ; bat though 1 ant no longer per mitted to live in dime arms, doubt not thy feithful Josephine shall still hover colloid thee, and as • goardtan-augel encircle thee till we meet again." She had scarcely uttered these words when she sunk on her pillow, sod soon fell into a slumber, fiom which she awoke no more ; and whet, the clock Way striking nine, it was observed that she had breathed her last. The agonies Sethier may he more easily conceived thou described: during some days it appeared doubtful whether he would sur vive ; and whet', after a confinement of some *seeks, he was at length permitted to leave his •Mitnber, tlie powers of yOuili Premed pifilysed, ins limbs were enfeebled, his frame emaciated, and he sunk into a state of stupor, from which he was only to be roused by the bitterness of grief. To this poignant anguish succeeded a fixed me 'sr laticholy ; a deep sorrow consecrated the memory of -his beloved : her apartment remained precisely in the state in which it had been left previous to her death;- on the work-table lay her unfinished took ; the harp stood in its accustomed nook un touched and silent ; every night Seliner went iii • sort of pilgrimage to the sanctuary of his love, and taking his flute, breathed forth, in deep plan ers touts his fervent aspirations for the clic risked shade. Ile was thus *tainting iii Josephine's apartment, lost in thought, when a broad gleam of mooulight felt on the open window, and from the neighbouring tower the watchman pio claimed the ninth hour; at this moment, as if touched by some invisible visit, the harp was beard to respond to his flute in perfect unison. Thun derstruck at this prodigy, Selluer suspended his mute, and the harp became silent; I e then began, with deep emotion, Josephine's favourite air, when the harp resumed its melodious vibrations, thrilling with ecatacy. At this confirmat of his hopes he sunk on the ground, ors longer doubting the pie settee of the beloved spirit; and whilst lie opened his arms to clasp her to ins breast, he seemed to drink in the breath of spring, and a pale glint.' meting light flitted before his ryes. " I know thee, blessed spirit !" exclaimed the bewildered " thou didst promise to hover route' my steps, to encircle we with thy immortal • Thou but redeemed thy word ; it is thy breath that glows on my lips ; I feel myself surrounded by thy presence." With rapturous emotion he snatch ed the flute, and the harp again responded, but gradually its tones became softer, till the melodious murmurs ceased. and all agent was Aleut. Selltiet's feeble frame was completely disordered by these tumultuous emotions; when he threw himself mu Ins bed it was only to rave deliriously of the harp : after a sleepless night I' tose only to anticipate the renewal of his emotion with unspeakable imp.- sielice he awaited Me return of evening, when he again repaired to Josephine's apartment, whew, as before, whew the clock struck , the harp began to play, in concert with the flute, /tad prolonged its melodious aceempanyinent till the tones gra • dually' to a faint a n d tremulous vibration, end all spine •lent. Exhausted by this second tool, it was with s ulty that Selluer tottered to • his chamber, where the Visible alteration in his op trownoceseiseited so much alarm, that the physician was aggLe filled in, who, with borrow and dismay. de ecja ilrevated symptoms of the fever a hub fa, proved so fatal to Josephine ; and au rapid was its p. ogres, that in two days the patient's fate ap peared Inevitable. Selluer became more compose'', and revealed to the physician thesiecret of his late mysterious communications, avowing his belief that iii! should not survive th e approaching evening. No esgitments could remove (loin his mind this Weil presage ; as the day declined, .1 I. p.m,. strength ; and he earnestly entreated, as a 16st request, to be ueuveyed to Josephine's apartment. • The prayer lima granted.

When the cluck struck nine Sellaer's countenance was suddenly illnmiued ; the glow of hope and pleasure flushed his wan cheeks, and he passionately exclaimed—" Josephine, greet me once more at parting, that I may ove►come the pangs of death." At these words the harp breathed fort% a strain of jubilee, a sudden gleam of light waved round the dying man, who, on beholding the sign, exclaimed—" I come, 1 come to thee !" anti suck seoriess on the couch. It was in vain that the as t physician hastened to his assistance, and he ton late discovered that life had ridded iu the confl•et. It was long before be could bring 'Mosel( to divulge the mysterious circumstance■ which had preceded Selltier's dissolution ; hut once, in a moment of confidence, he was insensibly led in make tie detail to a few intimate friends, and finelly produced the harp, which lie had appro priated to hinsself as a legacy from the dead. PRISON DISCIPLINE. THIRD REPORT OF TIDE COMMITTEE OF THE SOCIETY FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF PRISON DISCIPLINE, AND FOR THE REFORMATION OF JUVENILE. OFFENDERS. (row:tided frost orr Paper of yesterday.) By a Report of the Prefect of the department of tin. heine it appeals that labour in tke prisons uuder his jurisdiction has been cootstoler.obly ex•eoded. In France, as in some oilier countries. great assistance may hr derived from the exertions of les Saturn de la Chime& is visiting anal runoributint to the reforms. tine of female prisoners. Several ur the prisons in France have hero visited by a valuable Member of the Committee, travelling through that kingdom, whose .counts it/ the appendix wi4l be read with great interest. lu Switzerland, considerable exertions have been made I.r the improvement of the prisons. Being divided into several Cantons, many of them very small, and each having a separate government, dirt country is net inn situation in which, much perfec tion of prison management is to be expected. The greatest desire, however, is manifestrA by all classes or society to ameliorate the prisons. lot the Croton of Berne, rood in the Pays de Vaud, new prisons are to he erected. At I ;elleVil also, a house of correction is about to be built. The Committee have endeavoured to facilitate the ob jects by furnishing plans, and have given a promise ol• assistance to other Cantons. It occnrred to the gentlemen to whom the Com mittee have aUudrd, that isiformation ins the sub ject of prison. was much required on the Conti urut he therefore published a pamphlet in French, " Observasiona on Me Prisms of Swit zerland," with a translation of 'sort of 211 r. Buxton's work on Prison Di•cipliele. describiog the will-sr. ranged priains of Ghent, Bury, &c. with the Re. port of the Ladies' Committee at Newgate. This tract has been extensively circulated, not only in Switzerland, but throughout France and Italy. There is great reason to hope that 'flints will shortly be made to ameliorate the prisons in the dominions of the King of Sardinia. A commission has been given to itreestigerte-ilse state of these gaols, to Comte D'Agelio, a Nobleman who hiss the improvement of the criminal very warmly at heart. In the prison at Turin, where the prisoners were crowded, exposed to the excesses of heat and cold, without allowance of clothes, or the ItleallP of em ployment, and where one-third of the number were on the sick list, a Lady of rank, urged by the exam ple of a distinguished female in ilia country, was found labouring dime, giving, w i nk, and providing clothes for the poisoners., allowing them a portion of their earnings till they left the prison, meni s t e ri se g to their bodily wends, and extending to them the consolations of religion. The Committee have been honoured by a com munication from the King of Wieteniberg, which affords strong remelt to hope that the slate of the prisons in his dominions has attracted such notice as will speedily lead to the adoption or material im provements. The Committee, in conclusion, can declare,. with perfect truth, that the continuance of their inquiries has deeply convinced them of the ne cessity of persevering iu their labours, and im piessed them with the great importance of the tutproveingut of prison discipline to the interests -or justice and the welfare of : society-. To reform the criminal, even for his own sake, is an "bieet• of solicitude with every gui•ti man ; but the benefit to the individual forms but a small part only of that which experience proves is the result. It is the ordinatom of divine wisdom, that man cannot sutler foals the neglect of man without mu tual mein') ; and by * species of moral retribution, society is pienished by the omission of its duties to the ignorant sod the guilty. *llie renewed depre dations of the offeilder, when discharged from eon the crimes which he propagates by his beductook amid influence, spread pollution among all with whom lie aseociates, and the mituleer of offen ders thus becomes indefinitely multiplied. A review of the progress of ingsiovements in pri son discipline, during the past year. presents just grounds for congratulation. The labours of the Legislattele, tli disposition of the magistracy, the public nitro st which the subject COlitioUrti to ax cot, the actual Introduction improvements iii the construction and dosciplinc of various gaols, th e dctruPlllll of in melon., steel ila anielithetrit of promos iii liorigo coutoriesi, prove that the cause is steadily. *advancing. lint although these considerations are flighty en couraging, there is yet much to accomplish in this work of national improvement. So extensive are the defects of classification, that iii thirty gaols constructed for the coolinement of i,985 Innutiesse there were, at one time in the List year, -no hewer than 5,837 prisoners : and the whole number im prisoned in those goola, dialog 111 it period, amount ed to ldb, 03. There are yet prisons where idleness and its attendant evils reign uoreOralovi—.where the sexes are nut separated—where all distinctions of crime are cusifoundetl--where few cars enter, if uncorrupted, without pollution; mill, if guilty, without incurring deeper stains of criminality. There are yet prisous which receive not the pious visits of A a Christian Minister which the light oknowledge never enters—Aad where the truths and consolations of the Gospel are never heard. Tlitre are yet gaols where, for the security of the prisoners. mea sures are resorted to, as revolting to British feeling as they are repugnant to the spirit and letter of English law, A more frequent gaol delivery II ghout the kingdom—the abtlition of borough gaols incapable of material improvement—and prompt measures for arresting the progress, and promoting the reformation, of the criminal youth in the metropolis ; are objects which earnestly require the early consideration of bis Majesty's Govetu. ment. The manifest effect of the system of prison dis cipline which the Society advocate, in to prevent crime, by inspiring a dread of imprisonment, and by inducing the criminal, on his discharge from C 011.• finemesit, to abandon his vicious pursuits. To re commend plans :so beneficial, the labours of Howard, of Nield, and of Paul, were powerfully directed. Their individual r fforis were truly valuable; bat the exertions of a single life, however enlightened and in defatigable, are necessarily limited and imperfect. it is seldom, but by associated strength, that measures, of great notional interest, cars be attained. Hence the advantage of a Society, which combine the ener gies, and unite the exertions, of all who are in terested in the cause—encourage and provide is succession of labourers—assist its keeping the sub ject lwfiwe the public attention, and diffuse in formation calculated to facilitate the adoption of approved designs, and beneficial arrangements, in the construction and management of prisons. Such are the objects of the Society for the im provement of prison• discipline : to promote which the Committee cull generally on their fellow countrymen to extend their patronage, co-opera tion, and support. The Society's foods ate employed in the printing and circulation of pub lic:likens and Reports, and in engraving designs for prisons ; in relieving destitute prisoners on their discharge, but who are desirous of quit ting their criminal hstrits ; and especially in the support of the Temporary Refuge, where the number admitted is necessarily limited, in consequence of the narrow state of the Committee's finances. To extend their objects, and to resider their exertioos more permanently, as well as widely, beneficial, the Committee earnestly 'sweat the aid of public be nevolence; and they trust that pecuniary support will not be withheld, when it is considered that on the liberality wil l s which this appeal is answered, depends, in a great measure, the success of the So ciety, and the welfare of many a youth whose days will otherwise he spent in misery and crime. In reviewing the assistance which they have re ceived, the Committee cannot refrain from the pub lic expression of their obligations to two professional gentlemen, members of the Committee, whose names are only concealed from regard to the deli cacy of their feelings, and who have, with marked disinterestedness, honourably applied their talents to the improvement of prison architecture. These gentlemen have been on all occasions most ready to furnish the Committee, gratuitously, with designs. Their exertions hiie been characterised by singular ability and very superior views of gaol-construction, •minated by an ardent zeal for the object, and be . stowed at a considerable sacrifice of valuable time : services which could not have been purchased by any pecuniary compensation, and which have con tributed in no small degree to the success of the Society. . . .. The Committee, in the prosecution of tifeir la bours, are not animated by zeal for novel or untried theories. it is proved, by facts, that, by the neglect of prison management, crime and wretchedness are produced and multiplied. It is proved, by facts, that where prisoners are inspected, classed, instruct ed, and employed—there crime and wretchedness are sensibly dimioAhed. It is proved, by facts, that the system may be adopted with facility; and facts are not required to prove that it is wise s be nevolent, and just. With the Legislature all prison regulation must originate. The parliamentary enactments already in existence are remarkably distinguished by a strict regard to the interests of justice out! humanity. With a view to reform, as well as to ;moist), the Legisla ture has done much, and there is every reason to hope, that what remains to be effected will be com pleted in a spirit svoithy of the genius and charac ter of that law which extends to the meatiest its protection, and exempts 1:01 the greatest loom its power. To the Magistrates, the Legislature "vilely de legates the superintendence of promos. With them will rest the rxecntion of those enactments, in which the letter e - sir of the public are so deeply in volved. Oil the Msgistracy, then. the hopes Of the friends to the improvemeist of prison discipline ale fisted. Let them realise these hopes, mild they will witness the fruits of their exertions in the in creased security of property, the reformation of the vicious, and the prevention of crime ; amid, for their labours, they will tidily merit the wannest benedictions of a grateful country, and insure to ilienoelves, even yet, a far more solid—,an imperish able reward.
