travelled in those days will reeolleci that
the dinner hour was quite as interesting as
now. The ladies were Of course provided
for first; and the gentlemen who stood near
the foot Of the tables could crowd upon
the back seats, (so that they respectfully

we're not crowded quite of, could take

Among the first that were passing up

was Aaron Burr, and it was my lot TO be
next to him. We got as far up as those
ahead Of us could go, before coming TO
seats occupied by ladies on that side. and
all came 10 stand facing the table. At
that momen, there came down opposite to
US large lady, richly dressed in black;
and veiled, and while ye, standing directly
opposite 10 Burr, she put her veil aside;
and raising her eyes across the table. she
saw, with his eyes directly upon her;
Aaron Burr, and only separated by the
width of the table. She gave loud
scream and fell, but there being quite q
number standing by, they caught her and
took her out. The boat was then about
approaching Newburgh. and she insisted
on being put ashore at once, as she would
go no further in the boat with Burr on
board, and II was done ah che wished. /"
During the whole scene at the table
Burr stood like statue. looking on with 4

LYMAN BEECHER's CoURTsH1p.

An eminent divine, who is ss well
known as he is universally respected,
many years since was led 10 the conclu
sion that "il is not well for man 10 be
alone." ,r-f .l-a. 1. .I..a -aI
Aflber concidersble pondsring, he re-
solved to offer himself in marriage to
certain member Of his flock.
No sooner was the resolution formed
than il was put in practice, and getting out
his cane, he speedily reached The dwelling
Of his mistress. ,3. ,IU,t .a .-,
1t chanced TO be Monday morning; a
day which many New England readers
need not be told is better knowA in the
HOUSEHOLD as washing day. Unconscious
of the honor that was ihended her, the
lady was standing behind The tub in the
back kitchen, with her arms immersed in
the suds. lus ly engaged in an occupa-
lion, which, to say the least Of it, is more
useful than romantic.
There was loud knock at the door.
"Jane, 90 TO the door, and if it is any
body to see me, tell them that | an en-
gagged and cannot see them"
The message was faithfully rehearsed.
"Teli your Mistress" said Parson B.,
:" that i, Is very important tha,ll should
see her."
"Tell him 10 call this afternoon" sale
The lady, when this answer was returned
e" and | will see him."
Blu, II was unavailing,
al must see her now" said the minis
ter. "Tell me where she is"
So saying, he followed the servant in
to the kitchen, 10 the great surprise Of he
mistress.
"Miss --, | have come to the con
clusion 10 marry. Will you have me ?
was The minister's opening speech.
Have you 7" replied the aslonishe'
lady. This is singular time 10 offe
yourself. Such an important seb shoulC
be made matter Of prayer and delibe

"Let us pray!" was Mr.. BIS only re
sponse, and he knel down beside the iuI
and prayed that union might be fnrme,
which would embrace the happiness o
both parties.
His prayer was answered, and from
this union thus singulai!y formed ha
sprung family remarkable for talent.

Tilford soon shook himself clear of
those who held him; but one glance salisf.
ed him that further interference now would
be no, only Intellectual, but injurious to
Thornton. He therefore turned TO Lucy
and her mother, who had beer roughly thrust
aside, and stood weepingly wringing their
hands jus, out Of the lumult. He took Them
each by the hand, and with such words as
came naturally from tender and gentle
heart, led them away into the house.. Lucy
listened with faith which, perhaps, she
would have given to no other voice; aud
when she wiped away her tears, and ex.
pressed both by word and look the conf.
dence she felt, the gallant young Virgnidns
heat was touched, and he more than ever
resolved to Justify her reliance.

As he spoke, he drew the soft eyed
beauty closer, and imprinted kiss upon
her forehead-a liberty which the mother
was too much distressed 10 notice, and the
daughter Too grateful 10 resist. Perhaps
his conscience rebuked him Tor his sppar.

But the regulators were no, men to be
Jailed 10 this way. Before Thornton
could fully comprehend that he was free,
he was again a prisoner-Tilford arms
were seized from behind, his gun snatched
from his grasp, and himself bound hand
and foot, to the bitter reflection that his
rash effort had only put it out Of his pow
er 10 do Thornton the least service.
"You have me ovsrpowered now" he
said 10 his captors, in a voice hoarse with
passion, "bul by heaven! you shall answer
for il hereafter! And the man that lays his
hand upon Thornton shall die like a
dog!"
The Regulators paid no attention to his
rage,but proceeded to The business in hand
The point selected for the halt, was a spot
of heavy timber, through which the road
passed; and theunderbrush and fallen limbs
enabled them to soon kindle large bright

FREEDopr OF THE Press.

1t is the boast Of this great and growing
country, that our people enjoy freedom ofspeech
and liberty Of conscience; that we can express
our opinions without being punished, and wor.
ship our Maker in our own way without being
prosecuted. Indeed so familiar have these bless.
ipgs become, that We enjoy them as we do the
wholesome atmosphere around us, without
thought or notice.
Another great privilege that we enjoy is the
freedom of the press. Too often, alas, does the
press fall into the hands Of base bad men who
abuse their privileges and run license into lcen-
tiousness. But such men, like bad men in any
other calling, injure themselves more than they
do others. They may succeed for while, but
disgrace viii sooner or later, infalibly, overtake
them. II is only BY contemplating The en-
thrallcd condition of the press in the despotic
countries Of the Old World, that we can be
brought properly to estimate the great priv
leges it enjoys here. In those countries news
papers are instantly suppressed, and editors
punished, if they dare to say aught that
CRATES harshly on the ears of the kings and
mobiles. They "speak with bated breath"

Original Poetry.

Some years have passed since FIRST touched the
Tyre,
Whose tones, so low till then, enamored chung
To every passing wind. Its silver cords were
To wind-like harps, which the Almiehiy's hand
Had placed in trec-tops, and It's echo wild
Woke 10 the leaping torrent. and replied
To the glad carol OF the soaring lark.
Then softly signing 10 the forests moan,
And startling when the sounding thnnders crashd
And falling timbers smoie the smoking earth
Many Icy from willing heart-sprngs fresh
(Thus by nature taught TO beauty sang.
Her gentle grace I'd seen in waving pines,
In dimpled, laughing waves, and sailing clouds;
The pale, chaste moon-the glittering stars OF
night
The snow-capped clifs--the boundless heavens
All breathed mysterious whispers TO their child.
None knew the strain and plying silence caught
Its dying Righ and folded il TO rest;
Again gladly wake it's sleeping tones,
For have seen in thy young heart enshrined
A constanf fount of TRUTH a world Of love,
Like that oft, entranced. have gazed upon
Through open portals of the land of dreams.
Thou vert not made for earth Thou'lt find thy
hopes
But frozen tears Take thy place among the stars,
And nightly will kneel and worship thee.
