rid of the sentinel for half an hour
quick, or we shall not have time"
Two or three strokes of the oar
brought the boa, to his feet. The ole
man arose, the very picture of sterf
grief, the moonlight displaying the still
lineameuts ofhis pale face as he graspec
with both of his, the large white hanc
extended TO assist him on shore. The
boa,man followed and Sarah was LEFT
alone.
1t was a fearful half hour to the poor
girl, with the waves moaning like un.
quiet spirits about her, and the dread,
full sound of shoveling earth and NUT.
fled voices coming from the distance.
She dared not look after the three as
they went towards the grave, for her
heart sickened at the thought OF again
looking at the gallows.tree with its hor-
rid appendage,
A suspension oe the sounds caused
Sarah TO raise her face from the folds
of her shawl where she had buried il
no living being was in sight. But the
black shadow OF the bloody oak had
crept along the waters like a vast pail,
endowed with vitality, till its extremity
lay upon the edge of the boat, and was
insidiously moving towards her. With
cry ofterror, and shuddering all over
as ifthe unearthly dew Of another world
was upon her, the poor girl snatched
an oar and pushed the boat out into the
moonlight. Again she looked up, and
the three who had disinterred the dead
appeared, bearing him over the bright
grass, wrapped in a cloak of tho Eng
lishman, the feet supported by the gen.
erous officer, and tho gray hairs of the
father streaming over the bosom ofhis
lfeless son. Noiselessly they came to
the shore. There the old man left his
burthen in the arms ofthe officer, while
he took his seat in the boat and then
his quivering arms were extended, and
the body Of Nathan Hale, shrouded in
its military winding sheet, was laid a
cross the lap of his father, while his

betrothed wife.
They went out upon the waters, the
living with the dead-when old Hale
raised his grey head and spoke 10 the
young girl.
"Sarah, in our mourning for the
dead, we must not forget the duty we
owe 70 our country. Let US search
for the papers we are 10 carry to Wa
shington.
Then with his old and quivering hands
he unfolded the cloak and found the pa
pers containing the information Purcha.
sed at SO great sacrifice, secured in
the vest. In taking them out tho bo'
som OF the corpse was laid bare. -
The moonlight poured full upon It's
broad, white front and there, just o.
yer the pulseless heart, Sarah, with a
cry of agony, saw the long, bright
ringlet Of her own hair.

When the last United States direct
tax was collecting, two worthy farm
ers in the district Of the Hon. r. Cults,
member of congress from Maine, much
perplexed nboui,,he purposes for which
it was levied, determined not to pay
till they could get their doubts resolv-
ed. On the return of Mr.. Cuts from
Washington, one OF the farmers called
on him for an explanation Of the pur.
poses Of tho Government in raising so
much money. After great caution on
the part of Mr.. Cuts, and laying his
constituent under sacred injunctions
not to communicate so important pub.
lie matters 10 any but his worthy neigh
Dor, all which was solemnly assented
to by the farmer, he was told by Mr..
G. that "the money was raised to sup
port the NAVY and prevent INsURREc.
TON" Upon the receipt Of this infor-
nation, tho farmer, rejoicing at the
wisdom and strength of the Govern
ment, went directly to his neighbor and
told him it was all right--thc tax was
a just one--Mr. G.. bad informed him
i" Sit was raised by the Government to-
support KNAvERY and prerent the Re-
sURREcTIoN, and he rejoiced at the
object, only he wished the tax twice as
large ms il was them"

A HARD MoNEv GovERNMENT.-
There is no reasonable doubt that the
Executive proposes to leave the curren.
cy OF the country to its fate, and con-
fine itself TO coin. Post Office dues are
to be collected in specie. Custom house
dues are to be collected in specie. The
army, navy, public laborers, clerks in
the departments, mail contractors, post
masters, and the whole tribe Of Gov.
eminent dependanV are to be paid in
specie. The post offices are to be
banks Of deposite and are to " regulate
exchanges. Mr.. Kendall is to be Mo-
ney King, and issue script, for the ac-
commodation Of travellers. To his o.
Their interesting avocations he is to add

Mr.. Woodbury. is to bring the resour-
ccs Of his Department to the new Ex-

ployed in counting the eagles and pi.

Driven from pillar to post--misera-
bly, failing in all its clumsy and buag-
ling schemes-the government shifts
It's ground and tells US that the ConstI-
tuition nerer gave Congress any con.

have the people been thus cheated T.
Why did General Jackson promise that

Wright tako his present position in H.

could reglate tho Currency through tho

The AULD GRAY MARE.---An hon.
est farmer, few miles from Dumfries,
was often found fault with by his wife
for staying TOO late in the town on mar
ket nights. At last she set out with
him one day herself and in the even
ing forced him home rather sooner than
he wished. Accordingly, they mounts
ed tho old gray mare, he on the saddle,
and she on the pad behind him. They
rode on till they came to small brook
that crossed the road, when the mare
put down her head to drink, and after
being satisfied, again went on. snow,
said the good wife, :" if you would do
like the mare---when she has enough
she stops OF her own accord, and goes
on and cannot you do the same r.
+" True, guide wife," said he, "but II
there was anither nuld gray mare on
the other side o. the strand, and the
ane saying to the other, Here's t'ye,
and here s rye there's ma tellin when
they will part"
