no THE MEMORY OF MARY....By wn p. BaASx.
A score of midnights were eutombed
Within the darkness Of her hair
No rose or lily ever bloomeI
Enchanting more with red and fair
Than flushed and paIed by turns, a face
Where triumphed every namsiess grace
The deep earnation Of her lip
Had shamed the ruby richest hue,
And tempted wandering bees 70 sip
4 nectar sweet as honey-dew
The violet nor azure sky
Wore not more blue than her bright eye
What music charmed Ike her sweet voice
not tine lark or nightingale
Gould make the heart SO much rejoice
A. lis.eningto her aVtless tale
So fun Of wit aud free from care
Iwould win a soul irsm dark despair
The diamond daws Of early morn
That bissd the fragrance Of The flowers,
Outrivalled not the tears torlorn
She wept unseen, in joyess hours.
When hope had a'an its farewell flight
And love had lada a long good night
Here sleeps She now within the tomb
The winter winds around may rave
Spring birds may sing and a9wers bloom
And mourufui Willows sadly wave
Yet ncyermoro shall joy or woe
Awake The shade that rests below

Barring Robbery!

A bighhanded outrage was perpetrated
few nights since in Berlin township,
Wayne county, says the 'Da1cn, by one
James Austin, stage driver. The facts
appear to be as follows:
Austin called at the house of Mr. Tho
mas Norris and asked for drink Of cider,
and subsequently, the loan of a dollar
These demands were acceded to, when he
impudently demanded five dollars more.
The old gentleman, alone, and enfeebled,
dared not refuse. This new grant, in
stead Of satisfying Austin, only stimulated
him, when he demanded an additional TWEEN
ty-fve dollars, threatening the old mans
life if be refused IT,
BY some means Norris got Austin out
Of the house and fastened the door; where
upon, the latter made an attempt to get
in at the windows, breaking one or two
The old man having loaded gun, warned
him to desist or be would shoot him.
Austin still persisted in his attempt to en-
ter the house, and the old man fired,
thinking to frighten him away. Suppo-
sing from the silence that Austin had
cleared, the old man secreted his money
about his person, shouldered his gun, and
set off to give the alarm. Before he had
proceeded far, Austin waylaid him, and
Wrestling the gun from him, felled him to
the ground. His cries drew neighbor
to the spot, when Austin decamped. TO
crown bis audacity, Austin had the old
man arrested the next day for threaten
ing his life, and succeeded in swindling
him out Of about fifty dollars to release
him. Austin has since been arrested
and lodged in Jail to be tried at the next
