junction not to delay his flight, and knew
that one solemn duty remained to be per-
formed, before he took his departure. He
must bury his dead out Of his sight, but how
was this 10 be done under his circumstances 7
There was but one way-and with an aching
heart, poor William scooped out the earth
with his hands, on a side hill, to a depth
which would render her resting place secure,
and then prepared TO deposit his sole earthly
treasure there, TO slumber, till the heavens
be no more. Once and again his resolution
Jailed, and he turned away from the open
grave, unable TO conmit the precious remains,
without a shroud or coffin, TO ito cold EN-
brace. At last, with the strongest effort Of
which human nature is capable, he lowered
the body into the grave, and hastily covering
1t, ran from the spot without once looking
behind him. He had gone but a short dis
lance, when it seemed impossible to proceed
one step farther, and an impulse, which he
could not resist, drew him once more TO that
hill side where his Lucy was sleeping
With maniac eagerness, he tore away the
earth that covered her, and almost felt, as he
gazed upon the body, as if his wife were
given back TO him again. For three days
and nights, the poor fellow fingered about
that grave, making several ~fruitless attempts
TO quit it, ill at last, feeling that he must soon
die without food or shelter, he was impelled
by the natural instinct Of self-preservatlon TO
hasten his northern flight. He tore himself
from the spot which contained all that he
loved on earth, without daring TO trust him
self with a single look. A few days travel
brought him to Pennsylvania, and the first
house he entered was that of a benevolent
Quaker, who a~ccosted him kindly, and babe
him welcome to his roof. Poor William was
toil-worn, and faint and sorrowful-slill, had
he met with refusal, his indomitable ~resolu-
ton would not have borne him from the door.
But the voice of kindness, so long unheard
from man, and The feeling of security so long
unknown, were too much for his shattered
and feeble frame. He tainted instantly, and
fell to the floor like one dead. The worthy
family into which he had been providentially
led, fed, and warmed, and cheered the fugi-
tive, and had the satisfaction of seeing him
in a few days able TO express his sense of
their kindness, and TO give a narrative of his
thrilling adventures. When able to leave,
he was furnished with all necessary advice
and assistance for the safe prosecution of his
Journey. He is now in the British domi-
Mons, established in a good business, and
respected by all who know him, as an up
right and intelligent man. But it is mani
fest TO the casual observer that he has been
a man Of sorrow, and those who have heard
his sad story, well know, that whatever OBJ
iects may claim a passing interest, his heart
is buried with his Lucy, in that grave in the
wilderness, where she sleeps in the dark and
distant forest of eastern Maryland.

Loss of Character.

Robert Andrews, foreman to a respectable
nurseryman at some distance from Philadel-
phia, who had lived with his employer ten
years, and had a good character, one Satur-
day night, after applying for his wages,
claimed pay for a young man up to that day
whom he had discharged some days before.
His master said, looking him steadily in the
face, "Robert, do you want to cheat me, by
asking wages for a man you discharged your
self eight days ago2" He had no sooner
said this, than The miserable conscience
stricken mans blood forsook his face, as if
he had been stabbed to the heart. When
his master saw him so much affected, he told
him that he might still labor as he had done,
but that after such a manifeslly dishonest at
tempt, his character and the confidence in it,
had rome forever. On Monday, Roberl
made his appearance, but was utterly an al
tered man. The agitation of his mind, hat
reduced his body to the feebleness of an in
fant's. He took his spade and tried TO USE
il. but in vain and it was with dific atty tina
he reached home. He went to bed imme
diately; medical aid was procured, but 10 M
purpose, and the poor fellow sank under thu
sense OF his degradation, and expired OF
Wednesday forenoon! His neighbors whC
attended him, say, that a short time before hi
died, he declared, that the agony consequen
on the loss Of his character as an honest man
which he had for SO many years maintained
was the sole cause Of his death,

Our Bessie.
BY WILLIAM II. BURLEIGH.

Our Bessie was as sweet a girl
AS ever happy mother kissed,
And when our Father called her home,
How sadly was she missed.
For, grave or gay, or well or i'll,
She had her thousand winning ways,
And mingled youthful innocence
With all her tasks and plays.
How softly beamed her happy smile,
Which played around the sweetest mouth
That ever fashioned infant words;
The sunshine of the South,
Mellowed and soft, was in her eye,
And frightened through her golden hair;
And all that lived and loved, | ween,
Did her affection share.
With reverent voice she breathed her prayer
With gentlest tones she sung her hymn;
And when she talked of heaven, our eyes
With tears of JOY were dim.
Yet in our selfish grief we wept,
When last her lips upon us smiled
Oh could we when our Father called,
Detain the happy child?
Our home is poor, and cold our cline,
And misery mingles with our mirth;
Twas meet our Bessie should depart
From such a weary earth.
Oh she is safe--no cloud can dim
The brightness of her ransomed soul;
Nor trials veX nor tempter lure
Her spirit from lis goal.
We wrapt her in her snow-white shroud,
And crossed, with sadly tender care,
Her little hands upon her breast,
And smoothed her sunny hair.
We kissed her cheek, and kissed her brow,
And if Alright we read the smile
That fingered on the dear ones lips,
1t told of Heaven the while

Refusing to Drink with Washington

Towards the close of the revolutionary
war, says DR.. Cox, an officer in the army
had occasion to transact some business with
General Washington, and repaired to Phila-
delphia for that purpose. Before leaving, he
received an invitation to dine with the &C.
neral, which he accepted, and upon entering
the room, he found himself in the company
of a large number of ladies' and gentlemen.
AS they were mostly strangers to him, and
he was of a naturally modest and u~nassuminq
disposition, he took his seat near the foot of
the table, and RETAINED from taking any ac-
tive part in the conversation. Just before
dinner was concluded, General Washington
called him by name, and requested him to
drink a glass Of wine with him.
"You will have the goodness TO excuse
me, General" was the reply, "as | have
made It a rule not to take wine."
All eyes were instantly turned upon the
young officer, and a murmur of surprise and
horror ran around the room. That a person
should be so ~unsocial and so mean as to me-
yer drink wine, was really too bad but that
he should abstain from it on an occasion like
that, and even when offered to him by WASH
ington himself, was perfectly intolerable -
Washington saw at once the feelings of his
guests, and promptly addressed them =
Gentlemen" said he, MI. --i right.
do not wish any of my guests to partake of
any thing against their inclination, and !
certainly do not wish them to violate any
established principle in their social inter
course with me. | honor Mr.. - for his
frankness, for his consistency in thus adj
herring to an established rule which can never
do him harm, and for the adoption of which,
have no doubt he has had good and sufi-
cient reasons"

Where is HE'LL and where is heavenl
Questions children sometimes ask,
But TO answer, lofty thinkers
Often find a fruitless task.
When WITHIN US they are ~reigning,
Not confined below, above;
He'll is but the rule Of discord-
Heaven Is the law of Love.
Ay, the Lord Of Life is with US,
In the shade or heat Of day,
In the night and 10 the morning,
When at home and far away!
Fair Celestials, too, are bending
Ger our shadowy mountain path,
Sym%pathising with returning
Prodigals, reprleved from wrath.
Do ye say | talk of phantoms?
Mortal, blind and naked, stay!
Rather we ourselves are phantoms-
Born, but just 10 pass away!
All that IS real and everything
Hath its fountain in the Lord :
Seraphs breathe but by his power
Earth-born spirits, by his word.
Can we see our Heavenly Father!
Yes. if we are pure within;
Every where His blessed presence
BY the pure in heart is seen.
Gould we see our inner being,
Swallowed not by outward things,
Each advancing step would lead us
Where an angel sits and sings!
Then, oh then how can we triie
With our bright Inheritance!
Always chasing after shadows
Leaving every thing to chance
let us only be in earnest
Lei US see things as they are;
Flee from sins deceitful serpent,
Filled with only heavenly care:
Then will break upon our vision,
Glories not before conceived!
Glories, could they be recited,
Too refined to be believed !
We shall hear the voice of Wisdom
Sounding over sea and land,
Softened by the golden music
Breathing from an angel band!
Then will He, the Friend of sinners,
Sup with us, and we with Him
Raising all our better feelings
To their crystal fountains brim.
We shall be like spirit-brothers
Every bosom beat with love:
Peace flow every where like rivers
All things blossom as ABOVE

Slavery in Territories.

In our paper of last week, we propounded sew
eral questions which we then promised to discuss
in future number or numbers OF the esprit -
We commence this week to redeem our promise.
The questions referred to were these: If the
SHAREHOLDERS of the South carry slaves into Cali.
fornia or New Mexico, could they be held as prop
erty in these territories without any special statute
on the subject In other words, does the consti-
tuition of the United States permit the holding OF
slaves in territory which was free when acquired?
We then assumed in substance, the following posi-
tions: Sauery cannot erist Dithout positive stat
ute; such statute or la,o must be enacted by some
Legislative body hauing competent autho'itY--d
enacted By territorial legislature, the authority
so to do must haze been grarted6 By Congress prior
to its enactment, or the statute itself receiue the
sanction Of Congress a fer its passage; Congress
has no potofr to confer upon territorial legisla
ture the authority TO pass such statute, or to
sanction it after its passage;-fherefore slavery
cannot erist IN any territory acquired By the Uni
ted States of .Nerico. f'3 5000 r
We do not intend to inflict upon our readers a
very lengthy article in the discussion Of these pro-
positions, and shall, therefore, be as concise as
possible. In the first place. then, We assume. as
an admitted position that slavery, or such system
Of involuntary servitude as exists in the United
States, did not exist in Mexico at the time of the
ratification of the treaty between that government
and this. system of servitude existed there and
still exists; but it was punishment for crime,
and where individuals were sold for debt, &c. But
this servitude was not confined to any particular
race or color, as it is in the United States. Upon

Late and Important from Mexico.

The dates from the city Of Mexico
are TO the llth July. An engagement
had taken place between the govern
ment troops, commanded by Busta-
mente, and the insurgents, under the
lead of Paredes, in which the former
was routed. The loss Of Paredes is
stated at 81 killed, and GO wounded
Jarauta is said to be among the severe
ly wounded, and probably mortally SO.
'The roads throughout the whole Of
Mexico, are stated to be infested with
robbers, who were plnndering all that
come in their way.
Later dates confirm positively the
above intelligence Of the success Of the
insurgents, and announce that they
will probably overturn the government,
and drive Herrera from power and dis.
solve the existing authorities.
-Bustamente is said to have lost five
hundred men in the conflict that had
taken place. y
TThis intelligence from Mexico is OF
startling importance, and it is very pro-
bable tha. The interference Of our gov
eminent may yet be requisite to protect
our own rights, as stipulated in the re-
cent ratified treaty.] T..,a -, 4,
