’t,V115un was well situated for passing his life com-

, fo,;,,,b1y, and t'atlonall:y, his garden —being just far

enough out of L()n(‘l0ll, l0Vl‘f:'.ll_i(lt:l: iiic<)iii'eii‘ictit his

t=_,5,_-1’y in the country as to ll_.'-.ll‘tl‘Cll hiitn into the
robust _c,f.i‘.lotisnes‘s -— and ignoraiit vices of village
life.‘ ’He could hear just enough of the ‘stir of
the great llabel,’ to interest him in it, and to keep
his faculties alive andaivake to the value‘ of his
oiwnquiet, and to the utiaifectetl caresses of his
dear iwi’fc.and children, which always appeared
more and more precious afterhe had been hear-
ing, in his w'eel'tly visits to town, someginstance
of inercenary liypocrisy and false-lieartedness,

I lodged two years in his house, and have often
seen him on a summcr’s evening in an open part

of his garden s'urro‘unded by his family, in uncon-

scious enjoyment of the still and rich sun-set. I
was his guest the last time I saw him, poor fel-
1,3\v,"in this placid happiness. \Ve drank tea in
the open air, and amused ourselves afterwards, I
recollect, witlfieadiiig the preceding 'tlay.'s news-
paper 'which \Vilson used to hire for the evening.
‘.Ve sate outof doors later than usual owing to the
tlcliciotisness of the night, which instead ofdt:cp-
citing into darkness,.kept up a mellow golden ra-
Clfallce sweeter than the searching day-light; for
before the colors of the sun had entirely faded in

-me _wcst, the moon came up over the eastern

ht)|'lzd1), and the effect was divine. My poor host.
Iiowei-er, did not seem so happy as ustiul. He
had been thought-ful the whole cverriug, and now"
bec.,,,,,e mo,-3. pensive; and nothing t'0l].‘2’.‘(l him
even into _nioinentai~,- CllCL‘r’ except the playful-
ness of hiscldest daughter, a merry little giil ol
abut 4 or .5 years of age. It \\ as sad to seelitm,
with his dcjectetl face, striving to laugh and romp
with the child, who in a short time began to see
the alteration in tier father’s manner, and to re-
flect in her smooth facetlte ttueasillcss Of his.-

‘ But their pastime W83-0fSll0l'l continuance. It-

was melancholy pretence. 'I.il}'cl‘q wasiiothing

hearty in it, except the dance oftltc child’s fore-. V
head locks tossed to and fro in the clear moon- '

shine. 

I soon found out the cause of this depression.
He was‘ begiiining to"be pinclietl under an ugly
coalition—-an increasing family, decreasing busi.
ness, and times taxed to the uttjermost. The agen-
tlefolks living "about . the .great squares did not
spend so much money as formerly in decking
tlteir it indows and balconies with early flowers and
rare exotics ; and this was an important source of
VVilson’s reveiitie. I-Ie bore up, however, with
sad. patience, for a longtime 5 tillhuuger thinned
and stretched the round faces of his children. and
his wife’s endearments. instead of coming with
hope and encouragement, seemed like tokens of
love "growing more spiritual and devoted under

-despa’ ' ; they were einbraces hallowed and made
sublime by fame. All this was more than the
poor man could bear. The falling voices of his‘
unconscious children were like madness-bi-itiging
sotinds inhis cars ; and one night, losing in‘ the
tumult of his thoughts all distinction between
right and wrong, he rushed for th and committed a
robbery. ' ,

Ish-all never forget, as long asl live, the hour
when he was apprehended by‘ the officers of jus-
tice. _ ' ‘; i _

A-knock was heard at the outer gate, and on
Miss. \-Vilson’s going to open it, two men rushed
by her into the house, and seized her pale and
trembling "husband; who, although he expected‘
and dreaded such an ‘event, \\'aS‘S0 staggered by
it as to lost: for a few moments his consciousness
of all ébouthim. The first thing he saw on ‘coin-
ing to h_in_iself_ was his wife ,stretc_lifcd,at his lciaftin
a fearful swoon; and, ashe w_as'lmrried oil‘, he,
turned his eye towards her with 'a lieart-broken"
expression, calling out in a tone’ lialf-raving and
lgglfimploring,‘Ioolrthere, look tliere.’ I ' -

 

.~ 'It:tvo.uld'be, in vainf M
the-wretched liours*pas_s§*d" t
the »i'ntei-vial which elapsed
and.~the_t-imeof his trial.’

 
 

‘ utter despair, perhaps waslless nt'ol§;igabl5 "
 'the»si,ckening. agitation produced-.i “if

 

the air-built-hopes she dared to"enter in
iy succession, and which were-only-.bo.r:n to b
soon st'ricl~'._en back into nothing. Thisis in
a ghastly and withering conflict. The poor wo‘-.
man, after enduring it for t'h’re-rweeks, could not
be easily recognized by her old at:qn“aintanc_es.-'—f-
There were no traces left of the happy, biistling
wife. She moved silently among her children,
her face was cniaciated and hectic ; and lic_r-eyes
were red with the constant swell of tears. It was
a mighty cltaiige. . . .

The day of trial at length came on--\’Vilsnn
was found guilty, and sentence or death passed
upon hiin. The laws in tlieirjiisticc condemned
him to be liangc’d-—and the laws in their justice

 

_ had enforced the taxation, the hard pressure of

which ,lia<l so mainly assisted to drive him into
the crime._ But l.l]<:'WOl‘l(l is inexplicable.

His wife did not stir'viv‘e7this news many hours.
She died in the night without a sti-tiggle. It was
of no use to let the condemned man know this --
I knew he would never ask to see her again ; for
their meetings in the prison lltltl alteady been tor-
meniing in the extreme. . x ,_ ‘

I visited him in his cell two days before the
time appointed for his execution. ' Ila was silent
for niauy minutes after I entered, and I did not
attempt to rouse him. At. length, with a voice
quivering under an elibrt to be composed, he said,
‘ Altliotigh, Mr. Saville, I do not icqtiest (I was
going to say I did not =wz's/2, btit God knows how
false that would be-,)— to behold .my wife again in
this bitter, bitter world ; because such a dreary
meeting would‘ drive her mad, yet 1 think it
would do me good if I.could see my child, my
eldest girl. my little Betsey. I know not why it
is, but I have an idea that her soft prattlc, igno-
rant as she is of my fate, would take something a-
way from the dismal ‘suffering I am to unds.-rgt»
on 'iVedn'esday. These, dear sir, are melancholy
tioubles, but I know you are "very good.

In the afternoon accordingly, I took the child.
who asked me several times on the road why her
father did not come home. As weiwalltcd along
the gloomy passages to his cell she clung close
tome, and did not say a word. It was very dif-
ferent, poor thing, to the open and gay garden a-
bout which she used to run.

The door of her fathcr’s miserable dun_t,'eon
was soon opened. and the child rushed into hi.-
arms. ‘I do not like you to live in this dark
place. father,’ she cried, -come home with me
z.-.id Mr. Saville, and see mother who is in bed.’

‘ I cannot come jtist rfoiv, my child,’ he an-
5\V¢|‘=‘<l, ‘you must stay a little with me, and
throw your arms round my neck and lean your
face on mine.’ ‘ - _ , _

The child did as she was biddcn. and the poni-
titan, straining her to him, sobbcd bitterly and
convulsively. After a, few minutes,‘ he looked
with yearning eyes in her face, saying, ‘ come, my
tledlksing your poor father that pretty song which
you know you used to sing to him when he was
tired on an evening. lam notwell now. Look
at me, my child, and sing.’ . '

How sad it was to hear the child’s voice war-
bling in that dolorous place! I could scarcely
bear it : but it seemed to have a contrary effect on
the father. His’ eyes Welc lighted up, and a
smile appeared on his countenance. .,The song‘’‘
was oflovc, and woody retirement, and domestic
repose, and the bafiletl frownsnf fortune. ‘While
the child was singing,l left the cell to make some
at-mngemeiits with the gaoler, who was walking
close to the door. I had not. however, been thus
engaged for five minutes before I heard something
lall heavily, accompanied by a violent scream, and
rushing into the Ccll- I saw the unhappy convict
lying on the floor, and the little girl clinging
round his neck. The gaoler and I lifted him up,
and alarmed at the hue of his face, called in the
medical attendant of the prison, who soon told us
the poor man W;S(l<.’.£!(l..

The account given by the c'hild was-——tltat af-
ter she had donp singing, her father srartcd, then
looked sharply in ‘her face, and with a strange
and short laugh, fell from his cliair. Isupposc

of his situation ; that she had conjured into his
mind with her innocent voice, a blessed dream of
past days and eiijoyitietits, and that the spell ceas-
ing when her melody ceased, the truth ‘oftltings
had beat upon his heart wt, 1, mo stunning acou-
trast, and it had burst. M. L. C.

The following piece is ‘from the pen of one,
whose unhappiness it has been to suffer tempora-
ry derangement. To much originality, is added
a sweetness which playsaround the heart, and in-
duces its dearest sy-mpathy. '

"l‘is sweet, when viewing some noble ruin,-to
see through its dilapidations the splendor of the
setting stin ; or to have contrasted with its rough-
ness, thc softness of a distant landscape. Such
is the feeling induced by the perusal -of these
lines. The human mind in ruins is an awful and
melancholy object; btit when in its aberrations
the goodness ofthc heart is evinced, and the no-'
blcr passionsare elicited, it softens the rough-
ness. and calms the ruffled feelings of those who
sympatliisc.-—Vz'!lage Record. --

'l'errihle as the whirlwind in the forest, wast
'tliou in the day of battle. But calm and gentle’
as the still lake on a summcr’s eve wast then in
the day of peace.

As a comet among the stars. so shone the Chief
of Erie among the sons of the north.

As a tall oak that is felled in midsummer,
green in leaves and rich in foilage, so fell the
Chief of Erie in the morning of his glory.

Serenely bright, calmly great, as the last beams
of the sunwhen he sinks in the west, so sunk the
chief on the bosom of our mother earth.

And art thou gone,-. Oh, mighty chief! my
heart mourns in anguish, and the dew of sorrow
fills my eyes, when I think thou art no more, Oh,
Chief of Erie. 'PocAnoNT,As.

Oya Poe, or 21 ne;w.and inunrdialc ‘cure for the
Tooth ./Ic/ze.—'1_'he German papers mention the
following trick, which was lately played at Vien --
na :-—‘A man entered a cr.fi'e_e house with his
hand pressed close against his cheek. groaning,
etatnping, and exhibiting every symptom of \i_o-
lent indisposition. ‘le took aseat, called for some
punch, and made useless efi'o_rts to swallow it.-
Several persons collected round‘ him, to inquire
the cause of his illness; he replied that he was
tormented by a violent fit of tooth aclic, which re-
Various things were pre-
scribed for him, but without elfcct. At length a
man who was playing at b"illiai'ds in an adjoining
room, stepped forward and said, ‘ allow me to
prescribe.for the gt-ntleman ; I possess a remedy
which I am certain will cure him in fi“'C minutes.’
He drew from his pocket a box, filled with small
chips of a yellow kind of'\vood. ° Here, sir, ap-
ply this to your teeth.’ The patient did as he
was directed. and to the astonishment of every‘
one present. he immediately experienced a dim-_
inution of pain; the rcim~dy operated as if by en-_

chantmcnt. and in less than a quarter of an hour,

he was completely relieved. and drank his bowl
of pttncli to the health of his deliverer. ‘Sir,
(said be) you have performed a most wonderful
cure, and I shall be eternally grateful to you if
you it ill inform me where your valtiahle remedy.
can be purchased.’ ‘ No where, (replied the bil-
liard player)-4-I procured it during my last visit
to South America, and brought it home for my
own private use ; the Indians of» Oya I_’oc never
use any other remedy.‘ ‘ l.Vell, surely you will
not refuse to let me have a few pieces oftlie-wood ;’
‘impossible l’ ‘ I only ask for 20 pieces, and I
will give you a ducat for each.’ * Well, I consent
out of ‘pure humanity; but mind, you are the
only person to whom I can grant such a favor.’
Every one present noiw wished to have some por-

tion of the divine -wood of Oya For; all were
subject to the tooth ache ; -all claimed the sacred
rights of humanity, and the compassionate travel-
ler was obliged to part with nearly all his chips
of wood, and to fill his box with (locals. The
nia'stt:r of the cof-frze-liousc, unwilling to suffer
such an opportunity to escape him, had the good
fortune .to ptircliase l0 pieces of the wonderful
wood. \Ve know not whether the remedy will
operate as tifcctllfilly on the good. people of Vi-
enna as on the savages of Oya Poe; but the keep-
er of the cafe has l'en)t:ll.‘.lit'(l, that neither the doc-

/I Duel.-—Some years since, Capt. Smith of
the brig-——--, of Newburyport, who had been
many a whaling voyage, being in Surrinani, was
playing at billiards with some other Amt:rican
Captains at a public house, when some English
officers in full uniform. came to the house and
claimed the table. A British captain of regulars

give tip the table immediately : which being refu-
sed rather uncivilly, the Briton challenged Smith
to light him next morning at three o’clock,t>lfct‘-

which was immediately agreed to by the yankee.
Smith then went on board his brig, and inform-
ed his mate that he had to fight a duel next_moru-

toldihim that his weapon was a hat-poon and his

distance eight paces. He then stepped back to
his place, and seizing the harpoon, told his_antag-
uist to defend himself, at the same time raising
his harpoon over his shoulder, in the act ofthrow-
