we will prove to you we are not false pretenders.'
''Ah! should like 10 60 TO my beloved; but /
know not whittier you will take me ; ii may be to
the very one hate :"
"Try u.s." said the graver sister. " Our mis-
sion is love; seek not to harm thee, but will
soon lead thee to the chosen of thy heart. We
have passport TO his presence-we are the escort
he promised to send you yet you refuse 10 60 with
us. You doubt our vcracity, and think we TOO
would deceive you; but believe, dearest, he who
so steathily whispers STAY he it is who would
deceive you Take bat few steps with u.s. and
you will prove his constancy.''
As the first spoke, he gathered his sable robe
around, frowned and stamped upon the earth, and
when the other sister took up the subject With so
much eornestness, he trembled in every nerve,
shook his clenched hand, ard swore they should
not take her from him. This but tended to cause
her TO cling the closer; and hiding her face deep
in their robes she waved her hand and bid him
begone but ne moved not step ill the sisters bore
her away (ainting in their arms.
They made haste TO the gates Of the city Of the
brlfegroom and having reacheQ it., they said "Sis-
ter, awake; at the gate OF the great
city, and your adored will be the first TO welcome
you"
She opened her eyes in astonishment, and
smiling, said-''I am ready to meet him. Make
haste to knock for admance.'
The sisters each tapped gently at The door, when
it was instantly opened by the anxious bridegroom.
He casped his beautiful bride to his bosom, and
asked her why she had tarried so long, why SO
long delayed their meeting; but that she was
with him, the past should be forgotten, they were
to live for the future. "And now, my beloved |
must take YOU to my Father he, too, waits to
welcome you. He is the King Of Kings the Lord
OF Lords, and will welcome you his well-beloyed
SON"
Thus saying, he threw his own priRceless robe
around her, and bound chaplet upon her brow,
in which his fathers name written; and placed
a string OF pearls about her neck upon golden
harp suspended, he took her by the hand and led
her into the presence chamber Of his father
There the cherubim and seraphim veied their
faces, and angels threw their crowns at His feet.
As she entered, one long, loud burst Of praise
filled the vault of heaven she was hailed by ar
innumerahe company the well-heoved, the
bride elect of the son Of God She had a new
song put into her mouth, and her happy spirit
sung loud anthems to him who had given himself
fer her, and sent his ambassadors to conduct her
to such a haven OF rest.
Notwithstanding her own happiness was so great
hind, and turning to her companions, said-"Go,
beautiful! Hope, sister OF Truth and Pety 60 cheer

Touching Murder.

The Tribune asserts that DR.. Graham killed
Colonel Loring al the 81. Nicholas Hotel because
| the former slavcholder, and was educated
amongst Shareholders. An extract from Thomas
JetersOn's wiring quoted TO back up this posi-.
! !IOn-an extract !run The writings of the very
Jefferson whOA the Tribune denounced four years
ago, IN elaboraely sophslical TRADES, inf
del, DISHONEST politician and an immoral man.
The stupid caIumny has been repudlated by the
veriest AboltIOnjss in the city, and the old Post
itself, in unusual mood Of manness, has de-
nouncCd The calumnator in terms OF unmcasured
contempt; it is needless for Us, therefore, waste
time IN reuatIon.
But "c may be permitted to ask, Has any pa.
raQraph n JeiiersOn's Notes or Virginia thrown
light upon the Of the terrible murders which
50 often disgrace society in the North, and lend
- thrilling interest " 10 the play-biIl style OF our
police reports? We fear New York and New
England can clam Il superiority over the South in
the science of murder.
Professor Webster, who cut up, suspended on
fishing hooks, and ancas"d in packing boxes, his
friend Dr. Parkman's body, i'll the good city Of
Boston, " ho afterwards played cards with his chill
drrn and "did the amiabIe'' at several evening
parties, while he knew and chuckIcd over the
knowledge that public opinion inclined to at
tribute his crime 10 innocent rnan-dd IT,
professor own slaves, or was his cunning, vindc-
arity with Southern institutions.
Well, then, as Graham used the cane sword,
perhaps in his own defence, because he had slaves,
Webster surrendered his soul to the devi! because
he had none. The conclusion is local enough for
the Tribune.
Did Tucker, who cut his chds throat in Brook.
lYn few nights ago, and then experimental on
his Wl!e's lugular, own negroes, deal in negroes,
or in any way whatsoever connect himself with
Southern slavery, which hauns the Tribune like a
huge Frankenstcin, whose hideous is the
;ure of its own heated brain {" If Graham had
been educated IN the North, he would not commit
this crime no, it is probable he would conine his
energies 10 the assassination of officers like Batch
elder, while dscharging their duties to the laws
and Constitution Of .her country. plain man
would not expect the SouIh 10 be tried in the per-
son OF Graham, assuming him to be murderer,
(Which we cannot do until aher his convlc'lon.)
any more than be would wish .he North 10 be
estimated by the Tribune, It's logic and It's lair
play.
But what is the cause Of the northern murders
Foreign immigration, according to the Tribune
They a re all committed by benightcd Foreigners
Was Webster uenIghted? Was Tocker foreigner!
Were .hoy educated in Germany Ireland, that
:hey should reduce murder, De Quincy has
done, to a fine art and assume the most nota-
bic position amongst the assassns of the earth !!
In fact, the Trbune's logic is as bad as lis dsPo-
sition.-Idc Citizen.

support Your Local Paper.

The local press is emphaticay the representa-
tive and The exponent Of the local interests, wants
and wishes oreach community, and on its energy
and watchfulness the community rely. Each COM
munIty should first see thar its local press is put
upon firm and substantial footing, which can
only qc done by steady and liberal patronage.
If each member OF a community would become
paying subscriber to he paper Of his own town
and county, six months would not elapse before
the enlargement and improvements which would
take place papers would enable each person
10 dispense with one or more Northern papers,
without finding his faculties for intelligence in the
least diminished.
A people commit no greater error than that Of
permitting their local press to languish by reason
Of an inadequate support Never say your cosn.
try paper is small and not worth taking; give it
the support to which it is entitled and it will be
Immediately enlarged and improved to meet
the foil expectations and wants OF a community
in which it is located. We believe that publishers
are generally liberal in responding TO a liberal
patronage by the improvement Of their papers, as
appreciation of such berality.
If man is able TO take but one paper, that should
be the one published nearest to his place of resi-
dence, and the next should be the published
at .he commercial metropolis OF his own S;ate.-
For local and and State interests he will have
rendered himself able to consult his taste 10 the
paper he will lean upon for amusement or addition
al reading from abroad.

BYRON AND MARY CHAwoRTH.-Grace Green
wood, in her late visit to England paid visit to
Newstead Abby, the we-known residence OF
Lord By ron. In speaking OF the event she beaut
fully and touchngly alludes to the love o. the poet
for Mary Chaworth:
'Strangely sorrowfu, almost agonizlngly re-
greffuI, were the thoughts which swept over my
mind, wave after wave, and shook my heart like
Il tempest IS | stood in the place where the young
poet passed many hours Of silent thought, ii may
be of lonely wretchedncss. | never before so
deeply felt how passing mournlul was the story
of Gvron's first and only love. That Mary
Chaworh returned the passion of her young poet
lover | have not & doubt; but like the Montagues
and Capulets, the houses OF Chaworth and Byron
were al fued. Mary had not the strength and
truth of Juliet, and so they were parted-a sensa-
ton by far pIeous for her, and more fatal 10
him. than death amid the full summer brightness
Of happy love- This, not Shakspear's, was 'hc
true soul tragedy. Might she not have redeemed
even this wayward and erring nature, by the
divinity OF pure love and sfead!ast faith ! But
II was 10 be. Mary bestowed her hand upon u
man OF whom little better can be said than that
he ranked 'among the most eminent sportsmen Of
the day"-liyed. it is said, to weep wild tears
over the words which have linked her name in
sDrrowfuI immortality with her lovers, and died
in broken heariedness at last; while he. gro"n
reckless, restless, and dean', the very Of his
heart turned to bitter ashes, forgetting his God,
aud dIstrustng and drsIisng his brother, swept
on ia his glorious, shameful, sorroWlul and stormy
career, til the shadows deepened, and the long
niCht closed in.
