/ "A kNavE AND EOOL.-rwO OF
three week. ago man applied at d
boarding house for lodging, stating
that he was planter f ON the South.
lie had noticed young lady at the
f window, and it was not long before he
made her acquainted with the fact,
that though possessed Of great wealth
he was destitute of a partner, and that
it was the glimpse Of her person which
induced him to take lodging there. lie
said slight acquaintance had con-
firmed his favorable prePossessioDs, and
lalthough he was somewhat advanced,
fif she would consent to be his bride,
he would do what he could to compen-
safe for that, ny settling upon her the
sum of five thousand dollars at once,
and making her as happy as his own
efforts and his ample possessions would
enable him to do. The young lady,
though under another obligation,
deemed this an opportunity too good
to be lost. The courtship commenced
on Friday and the ,edding took place
on Tuesday. The bridegroom was but
indifferently attired had with him only
4 few articles in his bandbox and the
tailors disappointed him in his hasty
order Of the wedding suit. That how
ever was a matter of small Importance |
with gentleman whose character
rested on much more stable founda-
tons. The new clothes and every
thing else would be ready for the we'd
ding visit, they being Eat home" which
was fixed a few evenings ahead. Be-
fore that time arrived however, he
told his blooming wife one morning
that he had had strange dream dur

said he 81 an going out and if do not

happened to me-" lie did not come
back, and OH sending to his wash wo
mar it was found, that a couple of
shirts had been sent 10 him on board a !,
steamboat. The steamboat was gone,
and the rich planter had gone too,
bandbox and all. As he left his bill
unpaid, and his young wife not IA little
m the lurch, it is presumed that some
hing has happened to him. !

MY MOTHER.

THERE is no one word fraught with
so nuCn interest, that has the powes
OF awakening So many pleasing aud
tender r. collections, with which are So
inseparabiy associated, the visions OF
our youthful days, the iniantile sports
of our thoughtiess, gay, and smiling
hours, as the sacred, the hallOwed
name Of MOTHER.
Before tue thought of that one WORD
all other earthly considerations vanish !;
the virtuous mind is at once eDgrossed
in a sadly pleasing retrospective view
Of the many happy biissiul nours spent
under the gentle influence Of her en-
dearing society; with 1t Is brought 10
our view, the deep, the heartfelt anx-
iety, with which she watched over our
minds, and strove to enstili

which rests upon that now cold-cold
bosom, which once thrObbed so warm

for him; without feelings Of the deep

their very nature to oivest the mind of
every thought, that tends to earth aud

The Phil 4delphia Gazette speaks Of an
affecting Case of blighted love which occur
red few days since in that city, and runs
briefly thus:-A young lady Of amiable
character and good family had bestowed her

every WY worthy Oft. He had sought md

approaching nuptlals were anticipated with
approx ton by the friends of both parties
On Sund.y evening of last week, while
W Tx ng, her aifianced husband appraised her
of change in his affections, and declared
himself unable to fulfil his engagement.
This turned her fond hopes back upon bro
ken heart. Her sudden depression of sp:-
rits being observed, she was induced to COM
the cause to her friends. On
Tuesday morning she rose at an early hour
and left the house. For two days the most
dig gent inquiries were unavailing. On
Friday, near dusk, she was found several
miles from the city wandering in the woods,
in state of great exhaustion, having been
three days without food or shelter! She
was restored to her friends, but in a state of
