Charles and Maria Masperio, were buried in
one common grave; and ia the church-yard ofthe
Parish of La Fouche, little monument, decorat-
ted with cruciiix, the emblem of that religion
they Worship ed, tells their fate; and thtiier are
the steps of the passenger directed, to shed the
tear of sorrow, on the grave of the unfortunate
victims Of Jealousy. The zephyr as it fans the
mound, sghs plaintiye note TO the slumbering IN
mates, and the night bird carols its melancholy
lays 10 the tenants of the tomb.
Never did there live happier pair, than Charles
and Maria MaspcriO, previous 10 the occurrence
of the trife which gave BIRTH to green-eyod jea-
ousy, that destroyer of domestic happiness Ma
ria doated upon ber husband with enthusiastic
fondness, and Charles loved her TO despair-and
that passion, which indulgcd in to improper
bounds, origina ted Jealousy, and in the end, seal
ed the doom of the best OF mon, and the loyeliest
Of women.
Antoinette Masporio, the surviving branch Of
the family and the first fruit Of her parents love,
yet exists, and deyoting herself TO religious du-
tics, shuts out the world, and lives TO lament the
fate of her thrice unfortunate parents.
If this simple, and feebly told tale, should hap
pen to be read by tho jealous minded man, We as
sure him that VIC have been influenced by the best
Of motives in writing It, and that il is tale of
truth. If 1t be worth remembering, it will teach
him. that
''Trfos light as air,

A. proof Of holy writ"
and that one half Of the causes that lead to ieal-
ousy, are ideal, and that, before they are taken as
facts, they should undergo a careful aud impair
tial investigation. Had The hero Of our story ex-
planned to the victim of his Indignation and ieal-
ousy, tho reasons which led him TO suspect her
fidelity, he might have lived many years, in the
full enjoyment OF connubial bliss, and TO have
seen himself surrounded by vrtuous and happy
family. But confirmed in his opinions without
proof, and obstinately refusing to make an ey-
panaton,or even investigation, ,he hurried Oh to
the commission Of deeds, at the recital Of which,
the heart sckens and rcyol;s. Let those who read
this story, shun the green eyed monster. and pro-

FROM LIBERIA.

The intelligence received at the Office
ofthe American Colonization Society from
Liberia is of the most gratifying character.
We give the following extracts from the
letters of the Colonial Agent.
"Having been absent from Monrovia,
on visit to the Gallimas, until within for
ty-eight hours of the sailing of Tamworth,
it is not possible to enter into the particu-
lars of the state of the Colony. The Or
binary measure of prosperity continues to
attend it. The colonies were never more
healthy at any season. Factory Island,
and large district UNLIMITED on one side,)
of the Grand Bassa Country, now belongs
to your institution. A large public house
has been built for us by the late propre-
tors Of the country, on Factory Islands,
and we expect next week to begin the first
settlement there, by establishing two re-
spectacle families on the Island.
Caldwell is in a very prosperous state.
A new town for recaptured Africans has
been founded on the Stockton creek. One
of the boats of which frames were brought
out by the Indian Chief, has been more
than month completed, in which time
| have visited a greater extent of this part
of the coast, than from the want of COM
modious conveyance, had ever before
been in capacity to do. She has large
cabin, brass six FOUNDER, q pivot mount
ed, and IL stands of arms. Having a
strong crew she is able to resist most oil
the small pirates on the coast. His utility
to the colony is nearly inestmable.

object of your Board among the American
people. 1t is one of the great and be-
nevolent designs, on which the Merciful
Father Of all man kind loves to smile,
which the American Colonization has I'M
dertaken. Its root is deep, its growth
however gradual, I entirely believe to
be sure. But the greatest difficulties, for
difficulties the cause has always struggled
with, never suppose to lie on the side
of the ocean. To obViate prejudice, and
unite the exertions, and rouse the enter

is the great labor. And to such as most

At last the gray dawn of light specked

A report prevails in this city that du-

Mr.. M'Duffie followed the report of the
committee on the Vice Presidents appeal,
with long letter written under the sanction
Of Mr.. Calhoun, which censured the COM
mittee, and asserted facts which Messrs.
Campbell and Metcalfe, Gin short reply)
declared were not true. Mr.. M'Duffie was
so promptly met by truth, that he acknowl-
edged he had made some erroneous state
ments, but they were not Intentional
He did not even apologize for his errors in
the temper of liberal minded gentleman.
On the Esd February, Gen. Motcalfe, I'M

following sentences, which seem TO be aim

other occasion, to engage in a newspaper

this error was characterized to which Mr..
M'Duffie objects. If those terms were of
fensive to him, his remedy as man of
honor and bravery, was obvious. II the
language was so ''equivocal'' that he could
not assume the responsibility of nterpre-
'ation, it was not less plain. Its interpret
tation, or any honorable satisfaction, if
called for, would have been promptly fur
nished. He seems to have forgotten, that,
whilst he thinks he has laid aside his own
judgment in the construction Of the Ian
guage used, and has acted on the fears of
what might be the construction CT others,
he must necessarily be considered as view
ing that language as offensive.

"This evening, at twenty minutes past
9 o'clock, departed this life, after pain
full and protracted lines, his Royal High
ness Frederic Duke of York and Albany
his Majesty's next brother, to the grcal
grief of his Majesty and Of all the Royal
Family"
On Saturday forenoon an order was re-
ceivcd at the various theatres in the me-
tropolis, from the Lord Chamberlain's Of
flee, that in consequence of the dec ease of
his Royal Highness the Duke Of York, the
house should remain closed until further
notice. Since which the following letter,
authorising the opening of the theatre has
been sent to the managers of the several
establishments :--"Lord Chamberlain's
Office, Jan. 6, 1927. Sir,--I am author
ised by the Lord Chamberlain to acquaint
you, that the King, taking into considera-
ton the very great distress which the shut
ing up of the theatre any length of time
would occasion to numerous families, his
Majesty has been graciously pleased to
command that the closing of the theatre I'M
der your management, on account of the
melancholy event of the demise his Roy
al Highness the Duke of York, shall be
confined to this evening, the two days of
his body lying in state, and the day of the
funeral, of which due notice will be given.
Il am, Sir, your obedient servant.

The bOdy.-It has been stated that it is
the wish of his Majesty that the BODY
of the deceased should be disembow-
elled and embalmed in the usual wav :
but it seems that, from the state to which
it has been reduced, the ceremony of dis
embowelling cannot be performed land that

The Funeral-The Funeral will take
place on Saturday next, and the cavalcade
will move in procession from St. James's
Palace to the Castle at Windsor, without
stopping. Orders have been issued from
the Admiralty and War Office that on the
day of the funeral, the Goth instant minute
guns are to be fired by all the forts and
batteries, and ships of war, in the ports,
