they had gone otto be married; and so
l teileved till night, when John came
in like a distracted man, and said he

hands letter he received from Lucy.
She had persevered in not seeing him
but such letter, ladies'! If minisA
lers could but speak so to the heart,
there would be no sin left in the world.
She said they had deserved to suffer
for carrying matters so far without my
knowledge. She spoke of me as the
kindest of masters; and then she spoke
of the duty child owed parent; and
she should never have any peace of
mind till she heard we were reconcil-
ed; and told him it would be in vain
to seek her, for she had solemnly re-
solved never to see him again. The
paper was blisted with tears from the
top to the bottom, but, saving and ex-
centing that ma'am, there was nothing
from which you could guess what it
cost her TO write the letter.

There may be some poetry in this, but it is
passage Of power, and might have been
all true. 1t is true to nature. Many a
great man has been goaded to death, and
few of them sleep soundly. The writer
of these lines received a letter from a
member ofCongress, a few years ago. Just
afier he took his seat for the first time as
a member. "lf'' said he, 81 could recon.
Gle it with my views of duty, l should re.
sign at once and come home to the bosom
of those l love-" But he remained at his
post, and the turnoils of party broke him
down, and he came home for visit of a
week and died in the bosom of those he
loved.

From the Crescent City.
THE TRAVELLERS STOR,


A party of travellers, we among
the number, were seated around
blazing fire, in tavern upon one of
the Allegheny mountains. The coach
had broken down, and perforce we
were detained until the next morning.
we had finished substantial Virginia
supper, and each one with his feet on
the fender, and cigar in his mouth,
Eliminated upon the storm without and
the warm cozy comfort within. Each
one in his turn told a story or related
an anecdote and at last the joke came
round to a hollow checked individual,
who until then had remained silent.
'Gentlemen,' said he, fixing pierc-
ing grey eye upon one ofthe company
"A Spainard, who uninvited had drawn
his char up 10 the fire, "some ten
years ago [ came near being murdered
in this very house."
Atthis moment the Spaniard got up
and was going out of the room, when
the narrator arose and locking the only
door in the room, put thekey into his
pocket, took the Spaniard by the arm,
leading him up to old picture, sur
mounted by the English coat Of arms
in guilt work, run his finger along the
motto
"Honi sol qui NAL y pense,"
said, displaying at the same time the
butt end of large pistol, "evil be to
him who evil thinks" The Spaniard
smiled, and said he did not feel well
but the stranger swore that no mar
should leave the room until he had fin
ished his story. Requesting us uot tC
be amazed at his conduct he proceeded
'sSome ten years ago" said he," wa
travelling over these mountains or
horseback, and stopped at this very

"You killed him, did you not?"
shrieked the spaniard, almost jumping
from his seat.
"Silence, till l have finished!" said
the stranger, and again he touched the
but end of his weapon. "'The instant
that | fired, the william fell! started

The stranger arose, ,and caught the
Spaniard by the throat. Tearing open
his shirt collar, he showed the mark of
a wound on his neck! We need say no
more. Three weeks after that, Jose
Gomez was hanged in the city ofCum-
berland, upon bis own confession OF
having murdered no less than five trav-
ellers in that very room!

How many nttBw are dead ID me
Who live to others yet
How many are alive to me
Who crudbble in the dust, nor see
That sick'ning, sinking look which we
Till dead can ne'er forget.
Bcyond tho. blue seas,; far away,
Most wretchedly alone,
One died la rrison---far away,
Where stone on stone shut out the day,
And never hope nor comforts ray
In his ldie dungeon shoie.
Dead TO the world, alive to me,
Though months and years have passed,
In q lone hour, his sight To me
Cores like the hum OF some Wild bee
And thcA his form and face / see,
As when ! saw him last.
And Que with a bright lip, and cheek,
And eye, ia dead to me.
How pale the bloom of Ills smooth cheek
His lip was cold--it would not speak,
His heart was dead, for it did not break,
And his tye, for it did not sec.
Then for the living be the tomb,
And fot the dead the smile;
Engrave oblivion on the tomb,
Of pslselegs life and deadly blodth--
Dim in such glare--but bright the gloom
Around thy funeral pile.
