I thrown open, and shining Ike the arch

OF gay group, leaning on a splendid har,,
with her dark eyes raised, as if in triumph,
sat the bride; the thick curls were flung
back from her proud lrow, and there
was much o. sarcasm in the smile that
played about her mouth. BY her side
stood the ado'ing husband, when ser
want handed him note; he glanced at
the supersc.i .iption, then, crushing il in his
hands, h hlrr.ed from the apartment. 1t was
from his old classmate, Frank Allerlon,
giving him a touching narrative of the
death of Maria, and of the prayers she
had offered up, that Heaven might guard
and bless him. And then, quoting the
words of the poor sufferer, ..Alas. you
know not what it costs nc how to con-
Iess! had only one hope in life. 1t was
that you yet retained some feelings of in

but even that it denied me. Now go
where no earthly hope, no love of Garth

dark valley to the regions of light and
love-" She solemnly warned him not to
deceive her whom he had promised to
cherish and protect, aud not to place too
much confidence in the power of wealth
to purchase happiness. She then badc
him ii long and last farewell.
What where the feelings at that mo-
ment of the proud man Of the world, at
tempt not to portray; but he soon return
ed to the brilliantly Illuminated rooms
with a face all smiles, and even the most
penetrating might have been baflled in
their conjectures. Time passed on, More

= tTCRAL CURIOSITIES OF
CEILUS.

Among the natural curiosilies Of Ccy-
gamboIs are uuly di,erliug. Thcirgreal
enemies are snakes, which they kill by
sczing them near the throat and crushing
the h9ac of the snake on a stone or a.
gainst tree till life is extinct. Mr.. Per-
cival, in his account Of Ccy Ion, mentions
The Indian ichnrumon as great snake
DESTROYER. II is liule creature like Il
mongnuse. On seeing a snake it instant
Iy darts upon it, scizes the snake by the
throat, and kills il, however large, by re.
pca,tG attacks. Its said, the chncumon
kaows certain herbs which are an.idotcs
against the poison Of every species Of
snake. Mr. PercivaI Witnessed many cx-
perimcnts. The ichneumon never would
attack a snake but in al open place,
where, upon being bitten, he could run
and cat of the herb which he knew to be
an anlidote against the poison. He as
ways returned with redoub!ed vigor to
the attack after tasting the antldote. The
monkeys are dreaded by all kinds OF birds,
they form their nests, on the very trees
inhabited by monkeys and snakes so as
to be secure from these devourers Of their
eggs and young ones. Some form them
with long opening like purse, leaving
the entrance at the bottom, and fix them
hanging TO the end of slender bfanch.
The tailor-birl sews her llulc nest to a
leaf at the tip of some branch, with some
fine Gbrcs which she picks NJ, msking
use of a bill for needle. There are
birds catching spiders on the coast OF
Ccylon, whose legs are four inches long
and their whole body covered with ack

EXCITEMENT UPON THE BOR-
DERSl

a Citizen Of .3rooSiook .4Jrcstcd by Brit
ISL authority and Rescued By Amerjlan
.7rmS.-We learn from the following pro-
ceedings of public meeting, which we
find in the Bangor Wig, of the 22d INST.
that another excitement has been created
on our borders; and as the u. S. troops
were called into requstion, we Judge
that the circumstances attending it were of
an aggravated character. The only part-
culars we have are contained i'll the pro-
ceedings Of the meeting.
At a meeting Of the Inhabitants Of Han
cock Plantation, in the State of Maine,
the following preamble and rcsoluli ons
were unanimously adopted, viz:
Whereas an American citizen by the
name of Daniel Savage, living within the
jurisdiction Of the State of Maine and
claiming the protection Of her laws, has
been carried off on civil suit by indyidu-
ais known TO he authorized agents of the
authorities Of the Province of New Brlns-
wick, on the lth day If March, 1Sl2-
and whereas the civil authorities of New
Brunswick claim and continue to exer-
else civil and criminal Jurisdiction south
oil the st. John River, and within the linz
its of the S tate. Of Maine, as defined by the
late treaty with England.
Resolved, That we do regard with i'll
dienatiou, astonishment aud dismav, this
Invasion Of our rights, aud do by these
resolutions appeal to our government,
through our representatives. for pro.ec-
ton.
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
meeting, that in order to av old collision
with the authorities Of NV Brunswick
on this river, it is necessary that some
measures should be Immediately adopted
by which a sufficient number of Aagis-
traes and civil Off ers should be appoin-
ted to execute the laws and to protect the
rights and interests Of the inhabitants.
Voted, that the thanks cG this meeting
be presented to Cap. Webster, command
ing lhe L. 5. troops at Fort Kent, for SO
promptly furnishing assistance to The civil
authorities to rccaptute our citizens on
our own sol, as defined by the late treaty,
and TO secure and bring the offender to-

TIE LATE STORM.

Az Portland it was very severe--a great
deal of SHOW fell and the tide was uu-
commonly high, doing damage to the

ty were TEN FEET IN HEIGHT! The
storm was very destructive on the coast
of New Jersey. Thirteen vessels were
reported ashore or lost between N. \ ork
and the Delaware breakwater.

STORM.

This place and neighborhood was Wis
tied by violent tempest on the night of
the 18th inst. The air was charged with
an excessive quantity of electricity, and
the heavens during the greater portion Of
it seemed to be covered by one contin-
ued and never ceasing glare Of vivid fire;
a violent wind blew, tearing trees up with
their roots, and destroying fences wherev-
it had a fair sweep. The bowling Of the
tempest, the repeated angry growing Of
thunder, the flashing Of lightning, the crash
of falling timber, and the Kissing torrents
of rain, formed display of nature con-
vulsed, truly terrific to behold, however,
thanks to mercilul Providence, no acci-
dent of serious nature occurred.
