EXECUTION OF HARDEN.
BELvIDERE, n. j., July 6.-Harden's ex-
ecution took place at lbs P. M. He made
no speech as was anticipated. He remained
suspended IL minutes, when the physicians
pronounced him dead.
The body was then lowered to the ground
and placed in the coffin.
Many were disappointed at the refusal of
the sheriff to grant admission tickets, and
expressed dissatisfaction with him for not
performing the execution in front of the court
house.
Harden appeared calm, and mounted the
steps with firm and steady step.
The clergymen-Rev. Mr.. Day and Rev.
Mr.. Kirk-accompanied by several physi-
clans, ascended the scafold with the doomed
man. AS soon as they reached the top, he
knelt down. Harden led in prayer. In
few minutes he arose and stepped upon the
drop. No outward signs of emotion ap-
peared. He bade final adieu to those
standing with him upon the scadold. The
sheriff fastened the cap over his face. He
then descended to the foot of the scaffold,
and cut the small rope that fastened the
drop.
Harden fell with heavy lunge. His
neck was not broken, and the death struggle
was violent. His limbs were repeatedly
drawn up. and then dropped suddenly. Sew
eral minutes passed before the body became
apparently devoid of sensibility.
The remains were then taken to his faith
cr's residence in Blairstown, where the fu-
neral will take place on Sunday next.
Harden made full confession to his
brother yesterday afternoon. 1t will be
published, but not in his own language.

A Courageous WOman..Five Robbers
Defeated by one Female.

We translate from correspondence in
late number of La PrenSa the following
At a place not very far from this city,
(Havana) about 8 o'clock P. M, few days
ago, five individuals presented themselves at
the dwelling house Of half ruined planta-
tion, inhabited by couple with one small
child-the mother being at that moment
playing with the infant, while her husband
was quietly cOnversing with her. The five
robbers-tor such it must be supposed they
were-entered the dilapidated house, three
through the back door, and two by the
front. One of the latter fred at the owner
of the premises, doubtless with the intention
of killing him, that they might rob with
impunity, at least such is the natural suppo-
sition, as the family has about one thousand
dollars in their possession, amassed amid
care and privations, with which they intend
ed purchasing a servant to make their labors
less. The ball from the pistol fired by one
of the robbers passed at slight distance
from the mans head, and entered one of the
doors behind him, producing no worse effect
than causing the farmer sort of stupor,
and he remained as if in swoon.
His wife seeing this, with admirable sang
froid extinguished the light, placed her
child under the table, and quiet y managed
to get hold of a pair of loaded pistols,
which her husband had hanging on the
wall, and fred them off in the direction she
saw the robbers the result of this in-
trepid and courageous act was the death of
one of the bandits and the wounding of
another. The husband, recovering his
senses, and ignorant of the deed of his
wife, called her to hand him his pistols, to
which she replied ;" Here, take them and
load them, for have fired at both the rob-
bers, and do not know if they are dead or
wounded, but can tell you that there are
three more of them." 1t seems that these
last instantly took flight, for some neigh-
bors arriving a few minutes after, only
found one expiring in the yard and the
wounded one attempting to escape. We
are not informed whether this last was
taken or not, but the correspondent says
that the good couple were much afflicted for
fear that the consequences of the affair
might bring them into trouble; but the To-
cal authorities soon tranquilized them upon
that point, telling them that they bad
merely fulfilled sacred duty, defending
their own lives, and relieving the public
from such destructive vermin.

A DOUBLE murder was perpetrated in
Eighteenth street, New York, on the Both.
Mr.. John Walton, wealthy distiller, living
in Twenty>fifth street, was shot down in cold
blood, with evident premeditation, and died
in few hours of his wounds. The flying
murderer was pursued few blocks by sew
eral citizens, when. seeing that be was in
evident danger Of being captured, be turned
and fired upon his pursuers. MIR. John w.
Matthews, a railroad conductor, received
the charge full in the breast, and sinking to
the pavement, expired almost instantly.
Two step>sons of Mr.. Walton are suspected
of the commission of the murder. The
murdered man was endeavoring to obtain a
divorce from their mother.

Who a Lady should Marry, and Who
Lady should Not Marry, sc.


Lady should Not Marry, sc.
THE VIEWS OF WIDOW ON THE sUBJECT-CRITI.
CIsMS OF WHICH ARE RESPECTFULLY INVITED.
A lady should not marry a gentleman
who is not her senior by at least fifteen
years-twenty would be safer for if the
disparity of ages be less, in one or two years
the husband will be sure to regard his wife
as an old woman, and neglect her-in other
words, care nothing for her, and though
they may live together, and the world may
think all's we'll with them, contented and
happy, &C., the poor wife will rue her nup.
tials in secret, in silence, and in tears. Of
course l am only speaking in general way
there are exceptions in all cases.
Gentlemen do not love, nay, even like old
women, and unless there be fifteen to twen-
ty years difference in their ages, the wives
will be regarded as old women in one or two
years after marriage, and the husbands will
spend every hour they can from home, day
and night, too and worse than that-and
the least the poor wives trouble themselves
to find out where they 60, and more partic-
ularly what they do, the better for their
peace of mind-their happiness. Their hap
piness they will never dream of happiness.
But with proper disparity of ages-ffteen
to twenty years--the wife will ever be con.
sidered young, ever be treated with marked
attention, kindness, devotion, love, and the
wife will love the husband, whether she
loved him before marriage or not, and, of
course, will be happy, will enjoy life, &C.
Next, lady should not accept-that is,
should not marry-a gentleman, unless be
be rich. Indeed, she should not allow a
poor gentleman to address her, because it
isn't compliment to lady to be addressed

garian, as she lay below the surface, was sold
to two Yarmouth men for fourteen thousand
dollars, and in about six weeks they have
recovered, by diving, goods to the value of
nearly eighty thousand dollars. They are
still at work on her, and expect to make a
fortune by the speculation.

L see the mystic marriage OF the bright and
light winged hours,
And read in many golden books the loves of
warm-hued flowers;
l feast with many. battled knights and jew.
elled ladies fair,
Enid, Elaine, and vivien with the soft golden
hair.
l hear the ghostly centuries their wild, wild
tales rehearse,
Some ending with benison, some with a
blighting curse.
l stand upon the doubtful sands which grid the
wild lee shore,
And watch the cleaning of white sails which
vanish evermOre;
They bear my heart and dearest hopes to far
and mystic land,
And in the evening cleaning l write their
names upon the sand. --
Then l turn unto my pleasures - fool! they
have falsely gone,
And l stand and count the moments which time
driveth dumbly on.
All, me the little golden bird still throbbeth
out his song,
And the tender waves all musically still roll
their crests along;
But stand and hear them nevermore, for my
heart is dead with pain,
Looking wildly o'er the restless sea for my
ships to come again.
Is't aught to thee
Who nearest me
If across this dark and sobbing main,
Those sails shall ever CLEAN again?

ONLY A FANCY.

A little bird with golden breast,
A crimson wing and pearly crest,
Sngeth royal symphony;
But what he says
In his song to me,
Is naught to thee!
The tender waves still WOO the shore,
Where the wild hare bells are dropping o'er
To quaff their melody;
But what they say
In their love to me,
Is naught to thee
In the cool dark of dewy leaves
The summer wind legend weaves,
In tenderest minstrelsy;
But though its tale
Ebbs pleasantly,
'Tis naught to thee
have palace where my pleasures are,
l go there with the gentle evening star,
And revel gloriously;
But what do
And what see,
Is't naught to thee

Vague stories have been told Of tho
