young woman. The circumstances attend
ing it were nearly as follows. On the morning
of the 9th inst She rose from her bed, and
flinging shawl over her head walked about
mile to a bridge over the Sugar Creek,
from which it is supposed She precipitated
herself into the water: Her shawl and hair
comb were found upon the bridge, soon after
it was Supposed the deed was committed
the alarm of the ncighbourhood was immed-
iately excited, and search was diligently
made until the morning of the 18th, whcI
she was found near the mouth of the Greek
Some time previsous to the act it had beer
observed she was remarkably melancholy
which was owing in great measure, as il
supposed, to historical affections. A jur,
of inquest was held, who found verdict o.
svoluntary death by drowning. Mis-,

THE GLADIATOR.
They led lion from his den,
The lord of Afric's sun-scorched plain;
And there he stood stern foe of men,
Aud shook his flowing name.
There's not of all Ro,ne's heroes, ten
That dare abide this game.
ftis bright eye nought of lightning lacked
His voice was hlse,th cataract.
They brought dark-haircd man along
Whose limbs with gives of brass were bound
Youthful he seemed, aud bold and strong,
And yet unscathedo OF wound.
Bhthiy he stepped among the throng,
And careless. threw around
dark eye, such as courts the path
OF him, who braves Dacian,s wrath.
Then shouted long the plebeian crowd
Rung the glad galleries with the sound;
And from the throne there spake aloud
voice: 'SBe the bold man upboundi
And, by Rotne's sceptre, yet unbowed--
BY Rome, earth's monarch CT owned
Who dares the bold, the unequal strife,
Though doomed to death, shall save his life.n
Joy was upon that dark mans face,
And thus, with laughing eye spake he:
"Loose ye the lord of Zaara's waste,
Aud let rny arms be free:
'Iie has a martial heart.' thou sayest-
But oh! who will not be
hero, when he fights for life,
And home and country, baoes and wife.
Aud thus for the strife prepare:
The Thracan falchion to me bring;
But ask tn imperial leave to spare
The shieid--a useless thing.
Were a Samnite's rage to dare,
Then DER me shoald fling
The broad orb; but TO lions wrath
The shield were but sword of Iath.n
And he has barred his shining blade,
And springs he on the shaggy foe;
Dreadful the strife, but briefly played
Ehe describing lies low
His long and loud death-ho,vlis made
And there muste end the show.
And when the multitude were calm
The iayorite freedman took the palm.
'skneei down, Rome,s emperor besitlc:n
He knelt, that dark man;-o'ef his brow
Was thrown a wreath in crimson died,
And fair words gid it now:
"Thou'rt tn brarest youth that ever tried
To lay lion Acg;
An'i from our presence forth thou goest
To lead the Dacians ofour host.n

With throbbing heart and swollen eyes:
Wmie tears her cheek are coursing DER,
She speaks of suu.l8red tics.
She bids my tender babes deplorc
The death their father dies;
She tells these jewels fuy horne,
bleed TO please the rout of Rome!

And would chase the griefs away
