ROMANTIC ADVENTURE.-MAR

In this village on Tuesday evening last by John
Stagg, Esq. Of Clarkstown, Miss HESTER ANN Ev-
EMS, of Walden, Orange County, to Mr.. LEVI
SMITH, of this town.
The circumstances attending the above marriage,
are somewhat singular; but having had happy
termination, aud having produced some little
amusement in the ncighborhood, we have thought
best to give them TO readers correctly.
MIR. Smith formerly resided Mt Walden, and for
some length of time paid his addresses to Miss Ev-
ems. lie was honest and sincere in his attentions,
and the wedding day named. At this juncturc
of tho affair, some evil disposed person whispered
calumny in the ear of Mr.. 5. against the object of
ms aiiecuons-his jealousy was aroused. and he
preclpltatey left the place. This happened in July.
md Miss T.. having learnt the cause of his sudden
departure, made every inquiry with the hope of
finding and convincing him of his error; but all to
no purpose. Confident that her friend was labor
ing under false impression, confident of her abi-
ity 10 convince him of his error and relying implc-
i,ly upon his honor when so convinced, about n
week since she came to the romantic determination
of leaving her friends aud home, and of searching
out his abode. If, indeed, he were vet living.
The world is called cruel and unfriendy-it may
he so but VIC have yet to learn an instance, where
a female ever venturcd forth upon laudable un-
dertaking but that the world assisted her at every
sep.-So in the present instance, our fair heroine
proceeded to Newburgb, where she soon found
those who interested themselves in her behalf and

There happened to be Yankee, an officer station

There happened to be a Yankee, officer station
ed in the same regiment at Montreal. This Yam
kee related, among other things, the failure OF
certain expedition, in which he had the misfortune
to be wounded. "'rbat was because you were a
rascaIy set of cowards," observed the superclous
Major. "You are liar" replied the Yankee.
The company started. The Scotchman looked
down upon him with much contempt as Gollah
did upon David, and Immediately asked" Are
you man to meet me! ~ "Yes, at any time and
place you please only with this provision, that we
fight without seconds" We'll, then Tomorrow
evening, at three O'clock Agreed, The COM
pany present endeavored to dssuade the Yankee,
telling him the Major had every advantage where
he had none, and he had better compromise matters,
or he would have cause to repent his rashness.-
but he still persisted. The next day he repaired to
The place somewhat before the appointed hour arm
ed with large musket. Shortly after the Major
made his appearance, with brace OF pistols and
his sword. Before he had advanced far, the Yam
kee, in an austere tone, bld him stop or he would
blow his brains out. Upon this the Major, struck
at this unexpected stratagem reluctantly obeyed but
expostulated with him upon the injustice OF such
ungentlemanly proceedng.-The Yankee was i'm
placablc, and determined to punish him for the In
suit he had received: Lay down your sword, "
said he, still presenting his musket, "and to the
right about face, march" The poor Major was un-
der the necessity of obeyng, and, utterlng volley
of curses against his stars passyeIy submitted. The
Yankee quietly took possession of his arms. " Ii
is base-it is cowardly :" said the Major, thus de.
prve me Of all defence" mo" replied his fellow
combatant. " | will deal honorably there, take
my musket, Throwing it towards him. and defend
yourself" He quite ircensed, seized the muskct
with a mixture of exultation and precipitate ven-
geance, rushing forward, demanded his arms, or he
would blow him to hell. Blow away" said the
Yankee Provoked by unparalleled insoence, in a
fit of frenzy, he drew the trigger. But alas the
musket had not been charged The glory of the
braggadocio was so sulli.d, and his feelings
tally wounded by this iudignity, that he sold his
commission in the regiment and left the place.

known to them all.-Probability, nay, may say,
possibility, was against her. But she carried with
in her breast wOman's heart, which actuated by
the holy fire OF love- thought only of success The
very idea OF young, inexperienced, and unprotec-
ted female, entering vast city, to search among
heterogeneous population for fugitive lover ap-
pears incredible {; but such is the fact-nor was she
unsuccessful.
Countless were the dangers she passed but sur
mounting every obstacle, she pursued her inquiry,
UNTIL at last, she learned that person. beaIing the
description of Mr.. s., had, with a view, probably,
of more effectually hiding himself from the world,
taken passage in a boat for little rocky Rockland.
Ilther she proceeded, and landed at Grassy Point.
After making every necessary inquiry that places
she hired conveyance and came to this village on
Tuesday last. Here the romantic and danger Gus
journey brought 10 cose-bere she received
the reward for all her toll and all her labor Mr.
Smith when he left his home came almost directly
to this place and here he had been and still in
dustriously and perseveringy pursuing his wonted
calling After some little delay an interview was
had when a mutual explanation and reconciliation
took place" they kissed and were friends again"
In the of the evening our good friend JUS
tice Stagg put stop to any further rambling on
the part ofthe truant swain by tying that not which
death alone can unravel.

Ys've gather'd to your place of prayer.
With slow and measured tread,
Your ranks are full--your mates are there
But tho soul of one has fled,
lie wasiproudest in his strength,
The manifest ofye all;
Why lies he al the fearful length,
And ye around his paIl'
Ye reckon il in days, since he
suode up that footworn aisle,
With his dark eye flashing gloriousIy.
And his lip wreath'd with smile.
Oh had it been but told you then,
To mark whose lamp was dim,
From out you rank of fresh Iipp'd men
Would ye have singled him'
whsse was the sinewy arm which flung
Defiance to the ring
Whose laugh ofvictory loudes, rung,
Yet not for glorying7
Whose heart in generous deed and thought.
No rivalry might brook,
And yet distinction claiming not;
There lies he--go and lookf
Oh now his requiem is done,
The last deep prayer is said
On to his burial, comrades--on
With the noblest of the dead,
Slow-for il presses heavily
- II is man ye bear!
Slow for our thoughts dwell weariy
On the noble sleeper there
Tread lightly, comrades we have laid
His dark locks on his brow
Like lae-save deeper light and shade.
Wen not disturb them now;
Tread lightly for It's beautiful,
The blue vein'd eyeIid's sleep,
Hiding the eye death left so dull
Its siumber we win keep
Rest now his journeying is done
Your feet are ON his sod
Deaths chain is on your champion.
He waiteth here his god
Ay-turn and wecp-'tis manliness
To be heart broken here
For the grave Of earth's best nobeness
Is water'd by tear.

ment that each shall take the others paper. They each pay so much into a common fund, to assist each other on emergencies, and each makes per cent. on their false capital. Thus in the aggregate they do an excellent bdsiness--when singly they could not succeed; and this Is true, while in the aggregate they are insolvent.
 These Banks agree to take each others paper, and the people agree to take t ike wise, and 1T case Of any difficulty, they lend their neighbog 10 help him out. But cannot 1t at once be seen that the same pressure in this money market pressing at the same time on all these Banks. must crush them all2 This was the case d year ago, and the State was called on to loan these Banks twelve millions to sustain theIn--a measure which would have blast ed the political prospects of any other man save Martin Van Buren-for this was but loan of twelve millions to aid him in his po- litical projects. The Safety Fund Banks are under the control of these office holders and caucus holders; and they can loan out this paper money to effect their purposes. The city Banks are merchants Banks. It was in these Safety Fund Banks that por- tions of the Deposites were placed.

He directed his attendants to seize the offender and tie him to tree, and when they had done this, ordered them to shoot him. This they refused to do, up- on which he took a loaded musket from the hands of one of them, and with the great est deliberation shot him dead upon the spot.

 We buried one man of cholera on Friday: and yesterday, while running rapidly close along shore, to avoid the current, a large cotton tree, ninety feet in height, and four feet through, suddenly swayed 10 and fro as we approached, and just as the bow of the boat came opposite to II, feil heavily, and with tremendous crash. across the deck, breaking through the boiler deck to the lower, on which dozen men were sleep ing, all of whom had not time 10 leap out of danger before the huge trunk sunk deep into the deck, nearly seyering one poor devil in two, and crushing the head of another, and slightly wounding one or two others. The alarm was very great on board, and for q few moments we expected the boat to swamp. After an hours hard labor, the tree which held the boat fast to the shore like vice, was cut away. A grave was dug, and the mangled corpses placed in it coffinless, and we were once more under weigh.
 This afternoon a squaI struck us, and nearly eapsized us. We were unable to withstand it's force, and were compelled to stop the engine and float down the stream, with the head of the boat in the teeth of the storm. Natchez Courier.
