The Heiress.

sprightly, rosy-cheeked, flaxen- haired
little girl, used to sit in the pleasant even
ings Of June, on the marble steps, opposite
my lodgings, when | lived in PhiIadel phia,
and sing over hundred little sonnets, and
tell over as many tales, in sweet voice,
and with an air Of delightful simplicity,
that charmed me many a time. She was
then an orphan child, and commonly re-
ported to be rich. Often and often sat,
after day Of toll and vexation, and listen
ed to her innocent voice, breathing forth
notes Of peace and happiness, which flowed
cheerfully from light heart, and felt por-
ton Of that tranquility steal over my bo-
som. Such was Eliza Huntly when first
saw her.
Several years had elapsed, during which
time I was absent from the city, when
walking along one Of the most fashionable
squares, saw an elegant female figure step
into carriage, followed by gentleman
and two pretty children. ] did not imme-
diately recognise her face, but my friend,
who was by my side, pulled my elbow.
Do you not remember little Eliza, who
used to sing for us when wa lived in Wal
nut street did remember--it was herself.
She used to be fond, said he, Of treating
her little circle Of friends with romances
herself. She came out into the gay circle
Of life, under the auspices ot her guardian,

THE DEAD URTL Els
An Astounding story.

Waggery, like every thing else, seems
to have its season. Extensive so,cs have
been recently run in Boston, New York,
and Philadelphia, and now the scene is
changed to new Orleans. On Sunday two
well known humorsts went on board the
schooner Fancy, from Nassau, and deemlng
that they saw something there on whic b
to exercise their own fancy and the as
tonishment Of others, Immediately laid the
train for joke, or rather, for thrilling
tale. Approaching a gentleman who has
both credulity and humanity large, as the
phrenologsts say, they indulged in GESTURES
Of mingled surprise and sensibility, accom-
panied with such words and phrases as
" shocking -" must have experienced
great suffering p" so many, but that
the weather is so cold, might create a
plague III the city %" Is there no mu-
nicipal law to prevent their being brought
into the city Dds there"
"Why gentlemen" said their friend,
you seem excited. What is the matter ?
what have you seen' You look almost
as fear-stricken and as surprised as Mar
celus and Bernardo, when they, distill-
ed almost to jelly with the act Of fear did
see the ghost of Denmark's majesty
What, ! ask again, is the matter'" One
Of the humorists removed his crooked
ended ebony cane from his right hand to
his left hand, slowly put his kid-gloved
fingers into the pocket Of his paletot, and
drawing forth his white cambria handker-
chief, he passed it few times over his
face and forehead act preparatory, as it
seemed, necessary to nerve him for the
revelation he was about to make.
"Well," said he, in reply to the ques-
tons put to him by the gentleman they
had met "well, we have just been on
board the schooner Fancy, laying over
there at the picayune tier, and we there
saw sight to which, even in yellow fever
time, we have never seen parallel Thir-
ty--(here his words became too difficult
for utterance) thirty-two dead bodies were
stretched upon the deck!"
Thirty-two dead bodies!" said his
friend, in tone that would require the
largest kind Of note Of exclamation to
ds6ne IT," thiry-two dead bodies on

|. She did not wait long before young
gentleman on whom she had looked with
a somewhat partial eye, because he was the
gayestand handsomest Of her lovers, en-
boldened by her partiality, made an offer.
Probably she blushed, and her heart flut-
tered little, but they were sitting in q
moonlight parlor, and as her embarrassment
was more than half concealed, she soon re-
covered, and as awaggish humor happened
to have the ascendancy, she put on a seri-
Gus face, and told him she was honored by
his preference, but that there was one mat
ter which sh ould be understood before Civ
ing him a reply" Perhaps you may think
me wealthy would not for the world
have you lab or under mistake on that
point-I am orth eighteen hundred dol
lars. /"

started as if elet tri6ed. !" Eeighteen hun-

that betrayed the utmost surprise. Yes

good night.

next day to her guardian to inquire more
particularly into her affairs, and receiving
the same answer, he dropped his suit at

The next serious proposal followed soon
after; and this, too, came from one who
succeeded ia large portion of her esteem,
but applying the same crucible to the love
he offered her, she found a like result. He,
too, left her, and she rejoiced in another
fortunate escape
She some tim., after became acquainted
with young gen. teman Of slender fortune
in whose approach es she thought she dis
covered more Of the timid difidence ofloye

spoke Of her fortune, he begged her to be
silent. g 1t is to virtue, worth, and beaus

agreeably disappointed. They were mar

GOD BLESS THE MARINER.


BY MRS. MARY E. HEWITT. s
Gods blessing on the mariner!
A venturous life leads he
What reck the landsmen Of their toll,
Who dwell upon the sea2
The landsman sits within his home,
His fireside bright and warm;
Nor asks how fares the mariner
All night amid the storm.
God bless the hardy mariner!
A homely garb wears he
And he goeth with rolling gait,
Like ship upon the sea.
He hath piped the loud Gay, ay, sir"
O'er the voices of the main, j.
Till his deep tones have the hoarsness
Of the rising hurricane.
His seems an honest visage
The sun and wind have tanned,
And hard as iron gauntlet
In his broad and slnewy hand.
But oh! spirit looketh
From out his clear blue eye,
With Nulhful, childlike earnestness,
Like an angel from the sky.
A venturous life the sailor leads
Between the sky and sea-
But when the hour of dread is past,
A merrier who than he2
He knows that by the rudder bands
Stands one well skilled to save
For strong hand is the STEERsMAF's
That directs him o'er the wave.

ever, noticed no gashes.o or wounds on them.
In fact we learned, without enquiring how
they came there, that they were all taken
up some place on the shore or beach Of the
Gulf and if they were not dead at the
time, there were but little signs of life in
them, and that the inclernency Of the
