A PIRATES CONFESSION.

Many of our readers will doubtless re-
member the fate OF Mrs. Aston the wife
Of The Governor of South Carolina. and
the daughter Of the late Aaron Burr -
She was one Of the most accomplished
ladies Of the day, Of surprising beauty,
and the only child Of man whose name
will he forever connected with the history
Of his country, whatever may be the light
in which his character is viewed by the
majority Of his countrymen. Dark as
may have been the designs Of Burr
cold and calculating as may have been
his intercourse with his fellow men, and
towering as was his ambition, he chung
10 his daughter with paterna fondness,
and in his correspondence with her, after
she had left her cherished home, and Civ

love, we find all a fathers unquenchabe
passion for his child developed. Touch>
ing and beautiful are many Of his epis>
ties, particularly those in which he soil
cts her to pay him visit, and behold
again the home and dear scenes Of her
childhood
After many solicitations, Mrs. Aston
determined TO visit her father in New
York, and preparations were accordingly
made Tor the voyage. She embarked
with an only child, on board brig at
Charleston, full Of 10y at the idea Of NEE

NJ BEN JoNsoN.-BoRN 1874.
WE here present our readers with the best
three love songs in the English language
Cumberland charges, that the thoughts Of the
6rst arc stolen from the love letters of Philos-
tratua Jonson is certainly indebted to the Old
Greek for the idea bnt in no Greek songs, or
letters, are tho thoughts so gracefully rendered.
Those who are curious in the matter, we refer
TO Gifford's Ben Jonson. where several pages are
occupied in explaining the origin of the song.
OF the song following this, "oh, do not wan.
,ton," Clifford says, "lf it be not the most beau
siful in the language, freely confess, for my
own part, that know not where il is to be
found" Notwithstanding this high critical au.
enc which precodes, and that which follows it.
Drink to me only with thine eyes,
And will pledge with mine,
Or leave kiss but in the cup,
And I'll not look for wine
The thirst that from the soul doth rise
Doth ask drink divine,
But might of loves nectar sup.
would not change for thine.
sent thee late rosy wreath,
Not so much honoring thee,
- giving ia hope that there
It could not withcr'd be
But thou thereon didst only breathe,
And send'st it back TO me,
Since when it grows and smells swear.
Not Of itself, but thee.

opinion that the vessel on which his loved
one was passenger, had gone to the
deep without leaving behind a yeslige by
which her fate could be known.
Years passed away, and the circum,
stances were almost forgotten, twhen a
paragraph appeared in one Of the north.
ern papers, stating that a sailor had died
in Maine, who, previous to his demise,
acknowledged that he belonged to the
vessel in which Mrs. Aston shipped, and
that she and her child persisted by The
hands OF the crew, who were pira,csH-
Col. Burr is stated TO have placed no con-
fdence in the statement, and treated it
with contempt.
Some years since sailor died in Mo.
bile, who made similarconfession detail.
ing the circumstances connected with the
lnhuman act, He said that lots we're
cast, and that it devolyed on him to de d.

the daughter of Vice President Of the
United Sates-otF4rcd them every thing
in her possession, if they would but spare
the life Of the little being, and promised
eternal secresy. She was made TO walk
the plank, however, and the wave closed
forever over the beautiful being who in
vain begged for life.
This second confession received no
more credence from Col. Burr than the
first, and many Journals expressed their
disbelief IN the statement, although iaken
in connection with the previous confession,
it bore strong marks of truth. 1t was
made at time when there could be no
more nducement to resort to fasehood
when the dying man was conscious that
he would shortly stand in the presence of
his maker. Words uttered at this fear.
full moment are certainly entitled 10 con-
slderation, particularly when corrobera
ted by other circumstances.
We have now TO add another confession
made under similar circumstances, which
leaves no doub, in our mind as to the fate
o! the fair being in question. A gentle
man from Texas,-an old and valued
friend, and one whose veracity is impeach
abe-lniorms us that an old sailor re.
Gently died at Natagorda, who made
full confession of number of piracies in
which he had been engaged, and stated
that he was one oil the crew of the vessel
which sailed from Charleston, with Mrs.
Aston on board. When three days out
was held, and it was deter
mined that the passengers should be rob>

The work Of death com
and all were killed, Mrs. Aston,
being the last victim who were made to
walk the plank Her image he said wa
always before him, and he could not die
without conlessing the horrd deed The
closing scene Of his life was horrible in

Many witnesses who were present can
1ear testimony 10 the confession, and We
hink there can no longer exist any doubt
IN the subject which was 50 long yelled

That so swcetly were torsworn
And those eyes the break of day,
Lights that do mislead the morn:

Bound in those icy chains by thee.
