THE PIRATE OF THE GULF.

But few days had expired since the
events just related, and the fields ice had
been swept to the ocean. The beautiful!
river flowed onward silently and majestical-

green meadows, or darting swiftly with
noise and foam around projecting rocks

its sloping hills bursting into green luyur.

the deep-wooded solitude of the cliffs, upon

The approach of night found him lean

summit of n cif' which overhuug the river.
The sun had just gone down beyond the
hills of Monmouth in his own created sea
of sapphire, the western star hung ,rem-
flingiy in the heavens, while the crescent
moon half unveiing her chaste face, shed n
holy light down upon the earth, miugling
her pale rays with the golden hues of twi
light.
The bosom of the young man was iusen-
slble 10 every external impression. With
troubled brow and trembling lip, while,
he crushed starting tear beneath his eye
lids, he communed with his own wounded
spirit.

his gun, and the big tears coursed down
his manly cheek.
The momentary weakness-if sorrow
for shattered hopes, and crushed aspirations
be weakness--soon passed away, and he
stood up with firm and collected manner
His brow gradually became set, his eye
glowed, and whitening expression of rage
curled and agitated his lip, while he contin-
ued in changing voice.
"BurnIng, burning truth my thoughts
will consume me would not have pro-
famed her hand by careless touch-yet

With fearful calmuess he uttered these last
words, and in the same tone, added,

PENNSYLVANIA.

We have satisfactory accounts of the
strength of parties in the Keystone State as
exhibited at the recent vote for Judges Of
elections. The Brag party have fallen wo-
fully astern of the last years account; the
Wolf, and Nuremberg dirision of the Dem
ocratic party, is at an end; Republicans
have seen the folly, and felt the effects of
disunion, and are now showing the Brag
party what they can do. A short time will
put us in possession of facts enough to de
termine the political standing of Pennsylva-
MIA the soundness Of which we have no
reason to doubt.
The following is from the Pennsylvania:
The news from the interior of this State
was never more cheering than at present,

even astonished the most sanguinc of the
friends Of Van Buren, and Johnson. They

which the general complained to the en-

having sharply censured him, tore the two

The sword voted to Col. Richard NJ.
Johnson, by resolution Of Congress, intro
duced by Gov. Barbour of Virginia, and
urged by powerful speech, which led TO
ITS unanimous adoption, IN testimony of
their high sense of his gallantry and good
conduct, in the decisive battle on the Thames
in Upper Canada during the late war with
Great Britain, was presented to that gentle

United States, James Madison. The
heads of departments, and many members
of both houses of congress attended to wit
ness an honor not less distinguished than
1t is deserved. On presenting To Col. john
son this mark of his country's appreciation,
the President addressed him as follows !:
Sir-l now perform an Office which is
very gratifying to nay feelings. In the late
war, our country was ,assaIled on every
side on the Atlantic coast and inland from
tiers: and in many quarters at the same
time. Iionered by your fellow citizens,
you then held station in the public coun-
Gil, which afforded you an opportunity to
render servlces'wlth which patriotism less

you repaired to the field, at the head of a
regiment of mounted volunteers, 'aud met
the enemy at one of the points where he
was most formidable. At the head of that
corps, and well supported it, you fought
with heroic galIantry, and assenrially contri-
bnted 10 The victory which was obtained.
Your country is grateful for these services
and IN complieuce with a resolution of con-
gress, present to you This sword, as a
testimonial fits high regard.

feigned gratitude 20 this national legisla-
ture, for the teslimonifi of ,heir appreciation,
and to you, sir, for the cordiolity with which

richest reward of soldiers merIt-but not
without deep sense of the slender claim
which have to such distinguished honor.
Conscious of the forbcaranc of our couutrv
under continued repetition of injuries, it
became my duty when the last resort of na-
tons was adopted, Ia contribute with our
fellow citizens, my personal services, in VIM
dlcating our common rights, and it was my
good fortune TO be placed ar lhe head of q
corps whose yalor wa> equal to the occas-

to regard this as token of their merit.

A MODERN SroRY.-About eight and
twenty years ago, young gentlemen, a
merchant in an eastern city, belonging 10 n
very respectable family, became unfortunate
in business, & his creditors being very impor-
tunate, he was obliged, for personal safety,
to leave the place. He finally settled down
in South America, sometimes living in Bu-
enos Ayres, and at others in Monteyideo
and other Spanish and Portuguese cities.
He left at home young and beautiful wife,
to whom he had been married a few months
only, who became very soon dependent
on her own exertions, or the assistance of
( her relatives, for the support of herself and
AN infant daughter, To whom she had given
birh subsequent to the departure of her
husband. His business was not very flour
fishing abroad, and from long absence he
I had become, in some measure, at least,
weaned from the affections of his wife, W no
was pining in comparative solitude at home
| His remiltances, if ever he made any, he
came less and less frequent; and his let
ters, few and far between, breathed little ol
no consolation to her afflicted bosom. lie
occasionally visited this city and Philadel-
pha but if she was aware of the fact al
the time, she had not strength or the finan-
cial means To bear her hither, though her
love for him remained unalloyed and una
bated. IL was not till about twenty years
after that his residence in Bucnos Ayres
that it was known or suspected that he was
a man of family; and it was only from
the circumstance that one Of his townsmcn
met him in his boarding house, and told
him that he had recently left his wife in
! good health at home, that the fact became
known. His daughter, who of course had
never seen him, frequently wrote to him i'll
in the most afiectionate manner, imploring
him, once more to visit his family. To
these suppications he paid but little heed
either making some frivolous excuse, OF
paying no regard at all to them.
During the past spring the daughter was
assurcd her father was in Philadelphia, and
taking the advantage of visit which IA
young gentleman to whom she was attach
ed was about making to Washington, she
repaired to the former city, and was quar-
tered in the same hotel with her parent. A
message was sent to his room, stating that
n young lady wished an interview with him.
This was granted, and in few moments
the father and daughter were clasped in
each others arms. IL is sufficient to say
that her eloquence and her tears subduod
his heart that he Immediately repaired to
his long -forsakcn wife, who received him
with all the aiiectionatc feelings of her ma

harmony as though he had never abandon

PooR JACK. The following account is
given by the Rev. Leigh Richmond as hay-
ing been related by minister in a meeting q
in the British and Foreign Bible Society =
A drunkard was one day staggering on
the brink of the sea. His little son by him
three years of age, being very hungry, sol
icited him for something to eat. The mis-
cradle father conscious of his poverty, and
of the criminal cause of it in a kind of rage
occasioned by his intemperence and des-
pair, hurled the little innocent into the sea
and made off with himself The poor lit
tie sufferer, finding floating plank by his
side in the water, clung to it. The wind
soon waited him and the plank into the sea-
A British man .of-war, passing by, dis
covered the plank and child and a sailor
at the risk of his own life plunged into the
sea, aud brought him on board. He could
inform them little more than that his name
was Jack. They gave him the name OF
poor Jack. He grew up on board that
man-of-wEr, behaved well, and gained the
love Of all the officers and men. He be-
came an officer Of the sick and wounded
department, during an action of the late
war, an aged man came under his care,
nearly in dying state. He was all atten-
tion to the suffering stranger but could not
save his life.
The aged stranger was dying and thus
addressed this kind yong officer, " For the
great attention you have shown me, give
you this only treasure that am possessed

stranger was his son, the very son whom he
plunged into The sea and had no idea but
that he had immediately pershed. A des-
cripiion of ther mutual feelings will not be
attempted. The old man soon expired in
the arms Of his son. The latter left the
service and became pious preacher Of the
Gospel. On closing this story, the minis.

LORD MELBORNE AND MRS. NOR :
TON

Mrs. Norton has left her broiher's seat,
Frampton, in Dorsotshre. He married tire
only daughter of the late Sir Colquhoun
Grant, who was reeoncled to the match n
short time before his death, and left to Mr.
Sheridan aud his wife the bulk of his for
tune-amounting TO some thousands an-
nually, with the seat in Dorset. The late
deplorable event, we regret to learn, has
preyed deeply on The mind and health OF
the unfortunate lady. The expose and de-
tails of The trial were kept from her, we un-
dersiand, as much n possible; but the
whole could not be concealed, and violent
hysterIc fits succeeded, during which she
called wildly upon her husband and her
children. To the former she is said tie have
written, both before and subsequent to the
trial, declaring, in the most solemn manner
the falsehood Of the charges made against
her-alluding with touching tenderness, to
their early love and subsequent affection,
and avowiDg her unabaied attachment
and fidelity to him to the last hour when
she felt his roof! She reproaches herself,
I it is added, and acknowledges her error,
however late, for suffering The continued
visits that provoked so much calumny ;
but implores him. by his regard for his own
honor-his love for their children-and in
mercy and feeling TO herself to disabuse his
mind of the foul impressions created by in
terested menials; aud # he will not see her

hope of fondness and reCOncilement.
A letter from her To the noble defendant
is also mentioned, in which she reproaches
him, it is said, most bitterly, for his protrac-
ted visits ond their melancholy disastrous
results She paints The misery and ruin
entaled upon her, while he mad passed the
ordeal unscathed Separated from her hus-
band-berefi Of her chidren--blastcd be-
fore the world-and dependent even for "A

fence with her youth, and asks what atone
meni can he make her2 This letter writ
ten in paroxysm of despair, is said to be
full of mourning ro collections Of lost dones-
tic happiness and peace, with the fondest
affection for her husband and children.

but there is no human heart such an ap-
peal must not penetrate.
