where to search for the money, he ex-
cavated the earth about Is feet square

it was necessary to keep six pumps

sently his labourers came
Pat upon chest of gold,
And heard it chink with pleasure,
Then all prepared, Just taking hold,
To raise the shining treasure.
One of the company drove an old
file through the rotten lid of the chest,
and perceiving it to be nearly empty,
exclaimed with an oath, "There is not

the words out of his mouth, than the
chest moved off through the mud, and

FEMALE PATRlOIlSM IN CoLomDiA'
The recent revolutions in South America
have been fruitful Of chivalrous deeds of dAr-
ing, and of heroic examples Of virtue and pa
triotism, in both sexes. In every age and IN
every country, not excepting our own, female
spirit has frequently neved the arm OF the
soldier, and essentially aided the cause OF L.
berry and independence. But we know not,
that the annals of any nation, whether ancient
or modern, furnish an instance of more exalted
sentiments, of more generous devotion, or
of a more resolute frmness Of character, than
the following account of a South American
heroine, founded on fact, and translated rom
the Spanish, by one Of the many patriots, Who
have been exiled from their country, and have
sought an asylum upon our shores. 1t was
handed to us last evening, and we are sure 1t
will be interesting to our readers. The story
forms noble theme for novel. apoem, or 2
tragedy; and as such it may possibly be used
by some future muse:
Policarpa Salavarelta was a native
of Boeota. She was distinguishes

SINGULAR STORY.

SINGULAR STORY.
A young nun, in France, who had been
some time enamoured Of gay cayai-
lier.resolved on scaling the walls ofthe
convent, to be united to her admirer.
Love is violent, even in the breast OF
one who wears veil, and the young la
DIV contrived most ingenious scheme
to accomplish her wishes She &C
quainted the cavalier, by means OF a
communication through the grating,
that she had resolved upon breaking
her bonds, and enjoying liberty with
him. He supposed that the resolution
was never likely to be realized, in as
much as there appeared so many ditfi-
culties thrown in the way. But what
will not love effect? She pointed out a
spot, through her letters, where she
would meet the cavalier, on a certain
night, directing him to have swift hor-
ses in attendance, and leave all the rest
to her care. She acquainted him that
she would execute her plan, and no
one would ever know that she had re-
-linquished religious life. 1t appear
ed to him a mystery how she could
bring this about, and he was anxious to
know the scheme she had in agitation;
but of this she declared he must remain
ignorant until it was completed. One
Of her companions having died about
that time and having Just been inferred,
she boldly entered the tomb where the
body was placed, and conveyed 1t to
her own cell, where she placed it upon
her couch, having first put upon 1t
some of her clothing. She then set hire
to the drapery of the room, and by
means ola rope ladder escaped from the
convent, and Joined her lover at the ap-
pointed place. The fire soon alarmed
those who were in the convent, and the
cell was presently crowded with the
sisterhood, who contrived to put
out the FIRE, butnot before It had so dis
figured the dead body, that no one sus-
pected it to be any other than that OF
the nun who had contrived to escape.
They mourned her unhappy fate, sup
posing that she had died by the fire, and
prayers were offered up for her SOULS
repose. This ingenious but dangerous
scheme succeeded, and her honour
was unsullied. The cavalier engaged
himself as merchant, and acquired
considerable property, having previous
ly married his intrepid admirer. They
had several children, who must have
inherited considerable property,had not
their mothers scruples Of conscience
interfered. She having lost her husband,
became so afflicted that she retired into
convent, and confessed the whole
scheme by which she had effected her
escape from the nunnery.

SCOTTISH LEGEND.

A married couple of the Scottish
highlands, had thrice lost their only
child, each dying at an early age
Upon the death of the last, the grief
of the father became boisterous, * he
uttered his plants in the loudest terms.
The death of the child happened late
in the spring, when, in the more inha-
bited strains, the sheep were abroad !;
but from the blasts in that high and
stormy region, they were still confined
in the cot. In dismal snowy evening,
the man, unable to stifle his anguish,
went out, lamenting aloud, for lamb
to treat his friends with at the 'Dake
funeral feast.) At the door OF the cot,
however, he found a stranger standing
before the entrance. He was astonish-
ed, in such night, to meet a person
so far from any frequented place. The
stranger was plainly attired; but he
had countenance expressive OF singu-
lar mildness and benevolence; and, adj
dressing him in sweet, impressive
voice, asked him what he did there a.
midst the tempest. He was filed with
awe which he could not account Tor,
and said he came for lamb. "What
kind of lamb do you mean to take?'
said the stranger. "The very best that
can fnd," he replied, as it is to en- m,
| terrain my friends; and l hope you Will
| share it," "Do your sheep make any
| resistance when you take away the
lambs, or any disturbance afterwards.
"Never," was the answer. show oil

DREAMING LOVE.

I.
Love sleeps-oh do not strive to break
His slumbers-he too soon will wake
Yet now all TRANQUILITY he lies,
And the fair lid that shrouds his eyes
Is like the silver cloud, when driven
Across the calmest summer heaven,
That bids the sunbeams shine less bright ;
But cannot all obscure theirlight.
He dreams of more than earthly bliss
His full red lip pouts for the kiss
His quickly mantling bushes speak
Like those upon the maiden's cheek,
When leaning on some faithful breast,
The first kiss on her lip is prest.
And on his gentle brow the while
Is that sweet look, half frown, half smile,
Like virgin coyness that reproyes
, The very tenderness it loves.
Now DER his face a calmnesS steals
Oh nothing such bright bliss reveals
joys ecstacy nought else can tell,
A smile, a sigh, would break the spell
".
But loves bright visions cannot last,
Fen now the short lived dream is past.
See ere his eyelids yet unclose,
Down his far cheek the tear-drop flows.
Nay, hush thee, foolish boy, and sleep,
If thou must only wake to weep.
Alas thou seek'st for rest in vain,
Once walked, Love ne'er may dream again
