CRIME IN FEMALE INsrrrurr--our city la

CRIME IN FEMALE INsTIrUTE.--Our city has
been thrown into great excitement by various
rumors assuming the semblance of truth, in re-
gard to the conduct of S. II. Fay, the superin-
tendent of the Montpelier Female Institute, to-
wards its female members. 1t is stated that
Bishop Elliot, and G. b. Lamar, of Savannah,
known as one of its principal patrons, are now
on visit to the school for the purpose of inves-
tigating the facts. No person acquainted with
the peculiar sanctity of the superntendent's
character, would ever suspect him of committing
the grave offence imputed TO him. We hope
the affair will be sifted to the bottom. Ii is due
10 the public, and especially to the patrons of
the school, that there should be no mock deli
cacy exhibited on the occasion. Mr.. Fay's po-
ston in society should not shield him one mo-
ment from exposure and disgrace, if guilty.
If innocent, he will court rather than avoid the
most rigid scrutiny. The fathers of the young
ladies', now members of the school, ought to
probe the matter 10 the bottom. They are most
deeply and fearfully interested in maintaining
the purity of the Institution. Georgia.

Oarieties.
the EM1GRANT.

How often do we, the denizens Of one partic-
ular spot, regard the emgrant as thoughtless,
indifferent wanderer: without thinking of the
many considerations which have lured him away
from his native home. How wildly throbs his
aching heart as he falters the reluctant Stare
WE'LL" 10 those endearng associations which no
other spot on earth can ever possess, and reflects
that he must yield up the ast dim spark of life''
in land of strangers; and that he is to sleep
the dreamess sleep far away from the graves of
his fathers.
But thoughts like these are banished when
bright hopes and the prospects of better days are
lowering around him. Dreams of happiness
come over the Emigrant In the unrevealed in
cidents of the future he sees his name associa-
ted with the vast possessions of Ell Dorado. His
far-off home seems almost an Eden-a paradise
of earthly happiness. That country TO be his
by adoption, is bright land of promse-even
a Canaan 10 the Jews. But his prospects are
fraught with illusions as chimercal as were the
hopes of the lsraelites in their journeyings thro'
the wilderness. And such are the Illusions which
have ever misled the inhabitants of the earth,
since their first wanderngs from the olive and
vine. Adam and Eve, the first Emigrants, have
been followed 1y posterity, that, with toilsome
march and weary foot are ever in search of new
homes, but never find those that seem so like
Eden as their own native soil the home of their
childhood. Ask taat wandering tribe of despi-
sed outcasts, who have trod every cline, for the
brightest spot on earth, and without hesitation
| they point to jerusalem em-notwithstanding perse-
cution there fist leagued their powers against
| them, in the fll6lment of the awful decree of
an offended God, that "their name should be-
come by-word and reproach among all ma
tons" AS they approach the end of life their
veneration for the Holy Ghost seems 10 increase,
so that distant view Of the hallowed spot can
almost assuago the fearful pangs Of death.

FURTHER FROM MExIco.--The New Orleans
Picayune of the 18th instant, gives the annex
ed additional intelligence from Mexico. Accor-
ding to this the Mexicans received the news of
the passage Of the resolutions rather quietly:
"In announcing to the Mexican Congress the
passage of the measure of annexation, Senor
Cueva took occasion to express the views of the
administration of Gen. Herrera. He said that
the government would at once address an ener-
getic protest to all friendly nations, as well as
to the United States against annexation; that d.
plomatc relations with this county would there
upon terminate. He said the government felt
itself strong enough for the emergency, without
the grant of additional powers, and trusted that
instead of grevous calamity, annexation
might really prove blessing to Mexico, by uni
ting all her people in determined effort to main
tain their rights and preserve the integrity Of
the territory of the Republic. The Presidents
of the Chambers responded in much the same
strain.

STRANGE TALE.

We find the following curious story IN letter
from Munich, of the 9th, published by the Jour
nal de FrankfoH:-"The wife Of tailor of this
place, named Hilpers, has suddenly become a
Princess. A rich Roman Prince was living at
Brussels with his wife, but had no male heir.--
The Princess having again become pregnant, he
threatened to repudiate her if the child should
not be boy. She was delivered Of q girl; but
the wife of Jew tradesman, M. II, being
brought to bed at the same time of a boy, the
midwife made an exchange of the children, and
the Prince imagined he had son. The boy d.
ed at the age of six years, and the girl was
brought to Munich, where the real mother Sc
cretly gave her brilliant education. The Prn-
cess dying, however, and there being no more
supplies for the education and support of the
daughter and her reputed parents, the latter fell
into poverty, and the girl married Jew dealer,
M. Sch, who soon after obtained divorce.
She then entered as sort of housekeeper in
the family of NJ de Speugel and subsequently
the house of the tailor, Hilpers, where she en-
braced the Christian religion, in order TO accept
an offer of marriage from him, which was solem-
nised, and has produced two sons. The mid
wife, being on her death-bed, confessed TO the
priest who attended her the fraud of which she
had been guilty, and placed documents in his
hands to prove her statement After suit Of
three years, the lady has succeeded in esab.
fishing her claim, ard has been recognized by The
father, who has settled his fortune on her sons
What ADDS 70 the sngularity of this affair is, that
TIilpers cannot make up his mind TO solicit let
ters of nobility, in order to accommodate himself
TO this change of fortune.

SLAVES IN THE BRITIsH IsLANDs.--We have
intelligence from the West Indies which shows
state of things not at all in agreement with
Sir Robert Peel's declaration. The importation
of Africans is going on very actively in that
uuarter-whether as Stree men," or as apprcn-
iices, or as slaves, the following paragraph may,
in some Sort show: The Guiana Times says,
from Sierra Leone we have but few emigrants,
two hundred and sixteen by tho transport Ara
bian) and, we believe very little news. A ship
has arrived in the Berbce river from Sierra Le-
one with two hundred and forty-elght African
emigrants. This importation is altogether the
private speculation Of few Berbice gentlemen,
who obtained the Governments license or the
vessel employed by them as an emigrant trans
port. The Africans were consequently divided
among themselves, with right at the same time
to pocket, by authority Of the Colonial Minister,
the public bounty money for the emigrnnts.
lIf the planters of Berbice can enter into "a pr-
vate speculation" of this kind, supply them
selves with negroes, and pocket the ''public
bounty money" for all they import, how fat are
such speculations likely to extendG

THEORY OF THE DOWNFALL OF ATHENS.

Pursuing insautiously her plans of ambition.
Athens relied too confidently on the permanent
cy of her resources, and neglected the economy
of her revenues; and without even considering
the consequences which must follow, if, togctf-
er with the empire of the sea, her predominance
should vanish, and with her monopoly of COM
merce, her rches should fail, she nevertheless
neglected entirely the value Cf her landed pos
sessions. Peilous as affairs thus stood abroad,
they were no less alarming at home. The pub
licity of the proceedings, and the speeches made
on these occasions, gave to the whole such a
dramatic interest that tho people crowded TO
them as they were going to theatre. This not
only produced illness, (for which Aristophanes
calls his countrymen cechenaei, gapers,) but pro-
duced, also, an actual rage for ltigation-a taste
which the more easily became excessive, since
the contendng parties had no costs to pay for the
administration of justice. The judges gladly
maintained this spirit of contention for their
own profit, and crowd of poor citizens throng-
ed to the popular assemblies 10 partake of this
paltry gain. To them the few oboli allowed for
attendance in the popular assemblies were a suf-
ficient attraction; consequently, the mere popu-
lace formed a majority, and, as might be expec-
ted, decided universally in favor of those dema-
gogues who best knew how to Aatter their incli-
nations and humors, and this very often by dint
of the most impudent clamor. A pity it is that
even the mental cultivation of the Athenians
should have contributed to their destruction!

The Rev, DIR. Beecher, inan article which he
recently furnished for the Young Reader, tells
the following touching story:
"A few years since, as the Rev. Joseph Da-
Wis, an excellent Baptist Minister in London,
was walking along one of the crowded streets of
that city, his attention was arrested by the cir
cumstance that carriage with several horses
was just about TO pass over little girl who was
slowly crossing the road. He strongly felt the
danger of the child, and, forgetting his own, he
ran, snatched her up in his arms, and hastened
with her TO the side-path, when the thought struck
hm-what would the parents of this child have
felt had she been killed At this moment he
looked in the face of the little girl, which had
been concealed from his view by her bonnet
and imagine, if you can, his feelings when he
discovered that it was his own daughter! :, saw
him about half an hour after the occurrence, and
shall never forget his agitation as he described
to me her danger, or his expression of thankful
ness 10 an infinitely gracious Being who thus de.
livered his beloved child from DEATH"

The SCOTCH TmsTLE.-The origin of this ma
tiona badge is thus handed down by tradition:
"When the Danes invaded Scotland, it was
deemed unwarlike to attack an enemy in the
pitch darkness of night, instead of pitched bat
tie by day, but, on one occasion, the invaders re
solved 10 avail themselves Of the stratagem; and,
in order TO prevent their tramp from being heard,
they marched barefooted. They had thus near
ed the Scottish force unobseTed, when Dane
unluckily stepped upon superbly pricked this
tie, and instnctvely uttered cry Of pain, which
discovered tho assailants TO the Scots, who ran
to their arms, and defeated the foe with greai
slaughter. The thistle was Immediately adop
ted as the insignia Of Scotland"

THE SLEEPING WIFE.
BY JOSEPH L. CHESTER.

Delicious task! to sit and watch
The breathings of sleeping wife,
And mark the features of that state
dividing death from life.
How sweet her slumber! on her hips
The angel-Pe Peace-hath set its seal,
And to her couch the guard forbids
An envious care to steal.
How beautiful! She would compel
The tribute of stoics kiss;-.
Angelic purity might dwell
In such shrine as this.
And here it dwells-unstained and bright,
Though half concealed by modest fear,
Yes, were this soul disrobed tonight,
I'd see an angel here.
How sweet her slumber! None but those
Whom Heav n hath numbered for its bliss,
Have promise of such calm repose-
Such perfect rest as this.
Unconscious of the woes and cares
That weigh us down in waking hours,
Her gentle spirit only wears
A burden now Of flowers!
Nv.
She dreams! Her radiant features speak
OF themes that waKen deep delight,
And smiles adorn her lip and cheek
Smiles beautiful and bright.
Oh! could | lift the jealous veil
That doth those joyous thoughts conceal,
The spotless page sinless tale
Would presently reveal.
And harK! our parting lips disclose
Some cherished secret long depressed;
Marx how her cheeE with bushes glows-
How heaves her swelling breast!
She breathes a NAME amid her dream
The soul OF love is in the tone!
Her cheeks with deeper bushes TEEN;
That name-it is my o,ct.
VI.
Joy! joy! my bliss is perfect now
The boon | craved is mine--is mine;
Upon my bended knee bow,
And thank Thee, God Divine!
By night or ay-awaKe-asleep-
The signals of her love see!
IKnow that love ispure and deep,
And centred all in me.

TMEOPHILUS TWEST,
OR A TAKER-oFF TAKEN OFF

Theophilus Twist is nice young mana We
ry nice young man; at least so Miss Sweetwell
calls him. He sports an imperial, carries an eb-
ony cane, wears patent polished-eathcr boots,
cheats his tailor, smokes cigars, sings patriotic
songs at public dinners, and sentimental ones at
private parties. Theophilus loves--he swears
he loves-Miss SweetweI. Not satisfied with
singing for her, when they met at the house OF
a mutual friend, on Wednesday evening
"Be mine, dear maid, this faithful heart,
Shall never prove untrue,
'Twere easier far from life to part,
Than cease to live with you''-
he, many hours afterwards, went to her window,
and warbed forth
"Could deeds my heart discover,
Could valor gain thy charms,
I'd prove myself lover,
Before world in arms ~
Now be it known that the mind of Miss Sweet
we'll is not altogether free from the promptings
of the green-eyed monster. She thinks the
love of Theophilus is divided, or rather triplica-
ted she thinks he loves Arabella Rodwel--in
this she is mistaken; she believes he loves BRAN
dy toddies--in this she is not mistaken. The
ophilus has an attachment for the ardent; it is,
he says, but an acquired one, while his passion
for Miss Sweetwell is, he swears, deep rooted
in the labyrinths of his innermost heart. The
latter he calls, in his lighter moods, an affection
of the heart--the former he dubs constitutions
al weakness. Theopbilus, too, has his patriotic
attachments. He loves his country with love
deep as the fathomless ocean, wide as the wes-
tern praries, and impetuous as the torrent of
Niagara,
Having on Wednesday night, poured out his
lay TO his lady-love, and having heard no
tone nor received any token of recprocation
other than an intimntion from an ebony-faced
Abigail that if he would not clear out the watch
would be called, he
