should be doomed to hear them. | SHALL RE-
TURN, unless fate be too strong for me; but
claim no promlse--I presume not to set up any
title. may return to find you happy IN the
arms of another lover; should it be so, see me
only once before you forget me for ever For it
will then not be long before | shall be an OBJ
ject fit only to forget; passive, sunk, degrad-
ed thing, beyond the reach of memory
sation. The worst will be known, and it will be
over; there will be no future--no dread Of ills
to come; but the follies Of those love, and the
malice of those hate---the tears Of my friends
and the triumphs of my foes---the curses of the
world, or its regret, will be alike unavailing---
for they will all alike be unheard and unnoticed
by me.
SO, but one other word, and farewell, for the
last time indeed; for it is cowardice to delay
my hour of trial any longer. Utter one wish
for my success as you would wish safety to the
mariner who clings to one plank at the mercy
of the tempest--when you read this. You will be
my incentive to exertion. You will be the mag
net that shall attract---the north star, which, if
ever return, will ever guide me homewards.--
But | claim no favor---T ask none---except, SO
long as your love is not another's, that you will
wear my trifiing ring. That pledge, when we
meet, shall be the symbol Of my fate. Should
my first glance again behold it, made precious
by being borne your hand, shall believe
that your generosity has prevailed and that
am not forgotten. Should it be otherwise, it
will be of little import what becomes of me;
bat, come what will, | shall still keep your letter
near my heart In the last words that ever
write, your name will be remembered; and my
last prayer shall be, that the best blessings Of
Hcaven--the richest and choicest---may for
ever fall upon you.

THE EMPIRE OF WOMEN.

In the education of females, you plant the oak,
round which the ivy twines and aspires thatis, the
example which irresistib!y attracts, nay commands,
in the great cause of virtue and religion. That wo
men are susceptible Of stronger and more lasting i'll
pressions than men, see, by the almost invarabe
constancy and fidelity of their attachments-even
the slight tincture of the serious which their fash
ionabe education imparts, is seldom obliterated by
all the hurry and confusion of life Of gaiety and
pleasure. You will rarely, perhaps never, see wo-
man, to whom any idea of religion has been COM
municated, entirely abandon compliance with any
of its external duties; insult its principles, by
the language of profaneness and contempt. There
is a fervour in the soil of female heart, which ne
yer misses sending up what it receives, be the cul
ture ever SO scanty when abundant, the return is
invariably glorious. We have numberless exam
pies of women in the Holy Writings, in every pc
Rod of Christianity, that fill us with establishment,
at the sacred sublimty and herosm of their charac
ters-and the history of the Pagan world, particu
ary the austere and virtuous days of the Greca and
Roman commonwealth, afford likewise the most
lustrious proofs that the sea- when properly direct
ed, can be more than the rival of man, IN every &C
ton, every sacrifice that goes to dignity and exait
the human name From the very appearance OF
female depravity, we recoil, as from something

Norfolk, Feb l7.-From DR.. Adee, of the

Cape Henry, we learn that the schooner Star,
Capt Cole, of and from New-York bound to
Petersburg, with tobacco and merchandise,
which sailed from New York on Sunday last,
on Tuesday night struck on the Isaac Shoals
near Smiths Island; the wind blowing very
heavy from the Eastward the vessel immediate
ly sprang leak, and in short time the water
was over the cabin floor; in about fifteen mi
nutes the schooner again hoated, when all sail
was made in order to get into the Capes-
Finding it impossible to keep the schooner
longer afoat, Capt. Cole ran her asore on We'd
nesday morning al o'clock, about three miles
to the Westward Of Cape Henry Light. We
are happy to learn that all on board were saved
The vessel is totally lost. Part OF the cargo
has been landed on the beach, and more will
probably be saved.

Boston, Feb. l5-A fire broke out this fore
noon, between and 10 O'Clock, in the upper
story of store No. 40, near the lower end Of Cen
trail wharf, occupied by Messrs. Sargent and
Brooks, andmostly filled with Russia goods
and hemp-The fire was first discovered by
the smoke issuing from the windows. The
alarm was Immediately given, and the engines
which are all distant from the place of fire, pro-
ceeded with alacrity to the spot. The win
dows aud shutters Of the two upper stories
were kept closed for some time to keep the
fire under, while the engines were preparing,
on both sides of the wharf When the win
dows were opened, an immense body Of water,
the tide being high and the engines using their
suction pipes, was thrown into the building,
and the fire in measure got under But II
having been burning for some time, the hemp
had got we'll on fire, and greater part of the

this fact we are not informed Central wharf

(the wind being rather fresh) that the fire would
not be confined to the store in which it origna'

A letter from Guayaqai, of slst Oct. recev'
ed in Boston, says, "The steamboat which
lately arrived here from England started hence
about month since for Lima, but when at sea
three days, was obliged to put in for fuel. In
her passage from here to Guarmey, she like
wise put in three or four times for the same
reason. The owner of the boat, who had in
vested his whole fortune TO the amount Of 5o,-
900 in her, was so much discouraged, that while
the passengers were at dinner with the exceP-
ton of five on shore, gunning) he went below,
and fired u pistol into the magazine The whole
quarter deck of the vessel was blown into the
air; five Of the passengers were killed, and Sc
veral wounded Mr.. SWEET, Of Boston, who
was on shore, lost all his baggage, and many
valuable papers. II is supposed that the own
er, who is AN Italian, was insane at the time he
fired the pistol, although FIVE minutes before. he
was sitting at dinner and conversing as usual
The passengers killed belonged to this place
and were very respectable people"
