IVIISGBLLANY.

From the American Traveller.
THE MYSTIC STRANGER-

“Why this eternal distrust? Are there
not miseries enough in this hollow-hearted
world, without adding the horrors ofjeal-
ousyl By such conduct you will alienate
the esteem and affection ofall your friends,
make those around you unhappy,aiid yoiir-
self superlatively wretched.” Thus rea-
soned the frank and open-hearted Horace
Landon, with his friend and class-niate,
Francis Howard. “I tell you what Frank,
I am your friend, ifyou will believe it. I
would not deceive you if I could, I could
not ifI would, forjealotisy is eagle eyed.”

Howard stood for a moment sullenly cyc-
ing his friend, at length he deigned to on-
lock his lips. “Horace, you have rivalled
me, I could forgive you any thing else.”

‘ I do not ask you to forgive me; I have
‘committed no crime. If Emiliaihinksl
havea prettier name, or a larger estate
than yoii,neitlier of which happens to he the
case, why am I blameable? She is a pret-
ty girl, but she is no angel.’

‘ You do not prize her as you ought, and
I can never call you friend again.’

‘Frank, you are a man of honor: we
have been friends from our boyhood; this
separation is more than I can hear.’

‘You believe not what you say,’ said
Howard, ‘I know how to estimate your
sincerity.’

‘ You shall know, Frank, that I will yet
give you proof positive of the sincerity of
my friendship.’

The two who had hitherto been friends,
and as it were brothers, now separated ;

the one to brood in solitude over imagina-1

-iry ‘troubles till they should become real,and

expected addition to their little family cir-
cle, and, having no children pf her own,
gave it her undivided attention. Time
flew swiftly along, and dz_iily_ some new
beauty was discovered in the little Louise,
for so they called their adopted daughter.
Howard was happy in the unfolding gru-
ces of his sweet bud of promise. At times,
however, the unwelcome reflection would
intrude, that its parents might one day ap-
pear. But he comforted himself with the
consideration that the unnatural parent who.
could thus abandon a child to the mercy pt
strangers, would not be likely to again
claim it.

Howard felt the alteration in his chur-

_- acter, and often i'or.~iarkod, that the burden
5he was at first disposed to consider the_ -

lovely Louise, was changed into ablessing.
Years passed, and as the ietum _of .cyer»y
season exhibited a rapid iinpr'oven~en-t"'iii
the mind of his charge, and producted the
unfolding of new beau'ies, he felt that he
had not estimated the sweet girl tooliiglily.
But at times, he could not forbare heaving
a sigh that she was not his own. “ But,”
said he, “ she shall never know the niys-
tery that hangs over her birth. She shall
never know that she is dependent on stran-

rs.” Louise would have been the last
-who would have harbored such an idea,
and she was too well beloved for any one
to pain her by disclosing the fact.

means neglected, and the progress she
made in useful literature, well repaid the
care of her kind protectors. It was their
intention that her educati-in should be corti-
pleted under the paternal roof, and they
sought a linguist who could devote his
iime to her and reside in the family. A
gentlemanhearing their wishes, presented
himself, and soon Silllofiffd iliem he was
qualified for the station. His pale, intel-
ligeutcountenante, in which deep melan-
choly was depicted, powerfully interested
the beholder in his favor. A sad smile
occasionally illuminated his features, and
he appeared laboring under the oppression
of mental illness. He was apparently a-
bout thirty five or forty years of age, and
had evidently seen better days. He en-
tered upon the duties of his station with
alacrity, but the tender solicitude of his
new friends could not move him to confi
dence. Louise often wondered why the
good Mr. Payson should be uiiliappy, and
more than once playfully asked him why
he was never gay. She pitied him, but
she. had lived little over fourteen years in
the world, consequently was ill qualified to
sympathise deepty with any one. Her
spirits were ever light and buoyant, and
she seemed of too elastic a temperament
ever to sink beneath the weight of afflic-
iion.

The jealousv of Howard had long lain
"dormant: it was now again destined to
break forth. The innocent affection Lou-

%to encompass himself with a seven-fold
wall ofsuspicion and jealousy ; the other,
to sha_t;e,_l.iis .1nr_-'o--a with his friends, to
 -Jl “triage 'ar'o“ti'n’d" him,
and to estimate the world with the levity of
a spirit which had never felt the pressure
ofmisfortune. Landon was a young man
of fine talents, noble and adventurous spir-
it, and cultivated mind. He was devoted-
Iy attached to his friends and an enthusiast
in friendship. The young Howard had
been his companion and playtnate in child-
hood, and he loved him with all the fervor
of fraternal affection. But Landon was
iilest with a disposition exactly the reverse
of‘iIoward’s. He tho’t it mean and dis-
honest to distrust a friend without the most
positive indications offalsehood. Though
frank and ingenuous, he was not one of
that class whose hearts are ever on their
lips. He could conceal, but he would not
dissemble.

Howard was amiable, and it was difficult
to tell why one so generous, so benevolent,
so truly humane, should be cursed with a
disposition and temper so suspicious as to
destroy his own peace, and make fearful
inroads in the affections ofliis friends. He
could meanly suspect others whilst he
scorned a mean action from his inmost soul.
His intimate friends set it down as a con-
stitutional infirmity, heightened and in-
creased by delicate healih. Be that as it
may, there is little doubt that strong reso-
Iution,joined to a proper confidence in Di-
-vine assistance, would have enabled him
to overcome it. He had become strongly
attached to Emilia Ainsworih. She was a
lovely disinterested girl,just such an one as
we seldom meet. But her heart was given
to Horace Landon, and though he was
poor, she chose rather to suffer the priva-
tion ofpeverty with him, than to wed How-
ard, though he was wealthy.

To Landon, the alienation of his friend
was a subject of deep regret. ‘After all,’
said he, ‘ Howard wrongs me. I have ev-
er loved him, and long, very long, he held
the first place in my heart. Even now, I
could confide in him to the utmost.’

But they were too widely separated ever
to think ofa reunion. Howard soon after
left the university, mingled more with the
world, and by degrees, forgot Emilia. But
though his friendship was sought by the
wise and the good, and fortune seemed to
‘smile upon him in all things, yet the infir.
mity of his temper continued to increase.
The fieiidjealousy seemed to have shut up
every avenue of his soul. Though united
to a woman every way calculated to make
him happy, he was most miserable. A sin-
-gular incident seemed at length destined to
restore the equilibrium ofhis mind ; for he
was as his former friend estimated him, a
man ofhonor.

A beautiful child, apparently about one

as

_..-’ year old, was one morning found lying by

his side. VVhence it came, or how ii was
conveyed there, no one could tell. The
heart offloward was naturally susceptible,
and the innocent prattle of the lovely lit-
tle stranger awakened all his sensibility.
Hisamiable wifewus delighted with this un-

ise felt for her respected tutor, and the
lanxious solicitude the good man appeared
{to feel for her wolf:nro., _made iloo.-arc! re-
gard him much in the light of a rival. He
expressed his feelings somevihat bitterly to
his daughter, and she, in the unsuspecting
confidence of youth, communicated them
to her tutor.

‘My father,’said she, ‘fears that yoti have
stolen the heart ofliis child.’

Payson hit his lip, and seemed lost in
thought. Suddenly rising, he said, ‘let us
go to your father.’ They entered the room
where Howard was sitting. Puyson ad-
vanced towards him, and stood for a nio-
ment calm and self collected. '\Vill you
never have done distrustiiig your friend P’
said he.

Howard gazed at him like one bewilder-
ed. He proceedt-d, ‘In me you behold
Horace Landon, the friend of your youth
and the father of your adopted child.’

Howard gave way to the impulse of the
monient,&.rushed into the arms of his friend .
Louise and the wife of Howard Were all
astonislied. They besought an explana-
tion. Landon requested that the old house-
keeper Jenner, should be called in.

‘She has acted an important part in this
matter,’ said he, ‘and it is rigtit she should
see the conclusion of it.’

Jennet come, but not without some fears
that she should incur the displeasure of her
master and mistress for the pair she had
acted. The truth now flashed upon the
mind of Howard, that she had introduced
the infant Louise into his liouse,

‘You shall now hear all,’ said Landon
and his usual frank manner returned and
led Howard to wonder that be had iidt be-
fore recognised him. .
‘For once, Horace," said he, ‘you hav
shown that you could deceive.’ '

‘Hear me out, and then censure me if

ELDER GEORGE IVITHERE LL.

The Buffalo Journal of Nov. 3, contains
a developcment, which iftruo, P.‘{llll.)llS the
individual whose name is at the head ofthis.
at ticle, as one ofthe most depraved wretch-
cs that the human im.igination can depict.
In our paper of Oct. 22, we gave the aili-
davits of the wife, son, and neighbor of
George W'itlierell, siid to be a pastor ofa
Baptist Church in Hartford, Washington
County, New-York. Tlioir allitlavits sol
forth that two ruflians entered the house of
Witliercll, late at night, came to the bed of
Mrs. W. and seized her by the throat, one
having a dark lantern and the other ii laigv
knife, and that one of them exclaimed,
"‘ you d—d perjurcd scoiindiel, you shall
now suffer the penalty ofyotir obligations."

It now appears satisfactory from the ev-
dencc, that this same Geo.Wiilicrcll who is
a seceder, and a fellow of the name 0
Hole, an Anti-Mason, concerted this at-I;
tack, in order to pass it off as a masonic
crime. \Vhet'ner his wife and son were pri-
vy to the transaction does not ap-
pear. If they were, it shows the
utter depravity of the whole family; if
they were not, then the husband and fa-
ihei who would commit such an act, de-
serves more execrations than we have space‘
lot at present.
in the affair now, is that the proof agsiiiist

Withercll is founded on his own indist-.reet‘
admission, drawn out on his exaniiiiation.
If the man was so depraved as to make
zi mark attemf,-t ti: n--.ii~r.3<-r IS.‘-I‘n5:r~.r.;?"'.‘. .«;b_,»~
should he stop at perjury, which it seems
he did ? He and his accoiiiplice Halo,
might have sworn that they were at .l:Iale’s
house the whole night, and thus escaped
detection. Hale, it secnis, was not exam-
ined. It appears that in consequence of
the pretended attack on Mrs. \Vitbt:sell, r.
prosecution was commenced against one
David Brown, charged with the assault.—-»-
The trial was had before A. T. Bush, the
samejustice who took the previous depo-
sitions. lftlierefore, his record is good in
one case, it is in the other. At this trial
Mrs. \Vitherell, George R. \Vithcrell, S.
Smith and Nancy Chase, were examined.
and deposed verbatim the same, as is set
forth in their depositions which we publish-
ed on the 22d Oct. The particulars of the
trial are not given by the Buffalo Journal,
which quotes from “a Washington County
paper, without giving the name or date.-
The following is the testimony and cross
examination of George Withers-ll. The
son, Geo. A. Witlierell was not absent or
out oftlie way, as has been stated by one of
our cotemporarit-s, but was present at the
trial, and gave his testimony.

I further cerIify,that the counsel for the
complainant then called George \Vitherell
who was sworn, and testified that William
Hale, mentioned in the testimony rzf Mrs.
Witlierell,resided about 4 miles from wit-
ness's house, that witness staid at Hale's

SCHOOL COi\'-VFN'1‘ION.

A Convention of Teaclicrs and triciids of
education was held in the Representatives’
Chamber in this city on bvetlllcéflllj’ and
Thursday of last week, and was atteiitled by
about one hiinilred and fifty gentleman from
tlitfereiit parts of the State. The Coiivciitio_n
was oi-gaiiizetl at 10 oclock on VVediiesday,
by the appointment of Noah \\"i,-b=-tcr, L. L.
D. President, and Saniiiel I-I. Huntington, £-
Asa Cliilds, Esqrs. Secretaries. After pray-
er by Bishop Brownell, an abstract of the
proceedings of the Convention held in New
llavcii, was read by Rev. T. H. Galltiudett,
and a committee appointed to arrange and
prepare the busiiiess of this Convention. At
It o’clock the inroductory lecture was de-
livered in the City Hall by Dr. Humphrey,
President of Amherst College. He gave
lllF views in an able and interesting manner,
ofwliat constitutes a good ediic:itinn—-—of the
system of common schools forinc-d and est: b-
lished by our forefalhers—and pointed out
some ofthe evils of the s_vstcin at present ex-
isting in this state. A copy ofthis address was
requested for i.-ublication.

At 9 o'clock P. M. an address was deliver-
ed to a large assembly, by the Rev. G. F. Da-
vis of this city, on the qualifications ofa good
schoolmaster. It was lisieiied to with deep
intert.-st.and will no doubt produce a. happy in-
fluence upon many of the teachers present.

In the evetiing Mr \Vebster gave us some
of the results ofhis investigations in the ety-
niology and artliograpliy ofour language, and
noticed some oftho errors which are to be
found in most of the grammars now in tise.—
In his remarks. made with little previous pre-
paiation, he discovered a thorough acquain-
tatiee with the subjects discussed, and an ex-
tent ofresearch to be attained only by a life
of patient and laborious study. He was fol-
lowed by Dr. Alcot, on the location and ar-
rangement of school houses. The health,
comfort and improvement of children require
that more attention should be paid to this
subject.

The intervals between the public exercise
on this and the following day, were spent by
the Convention in discussing the single ques-
tion. VVhat are the evils existing in our
coiiiinon schools ? The consitlerauon of this
question elicited the views and experience of
several teachers and friends of education.-
The evils complained ofare, frequent. change
of teacliers—apathy of parents-—neg'lect of
school visitors——inadcquate pay of lCilCll0l‘5a
and the consequent iucompctency of many
who engage in teaching scliool——tlie great
number of scholars of all ages in a school
with only one teachcr—and finally the paral-
yzing influence of the .,-iliool fund as now ap-
plied. We will tiiketliis opportunity to men-
tion another evil not insisted on by any mem-
ber of the Convention ,- we allude to the su-
perficial manner oftcaching children to read
practised in most of our district schools. The
sole object of'tlie teacher seems _to be, to com-
municate me an of pronouncing‘ a certain

combination of letters, or. of expressing a cer-
tain sound by letters. without ever stopping
to inquire whether the child understands the
meaning of these conibiniitions or words.-

Tlie consequence is,the cliiltl lea rns toread nic-

chanically . and is liiirrieil along from ba, be,

to words of five sylahles without ever being

told the meaning ofa word ; and in most in-

stances without acquiring a single idea.

Nancy Chase, were taken on the 4th ,inst._

On Tliursday mot-ning the Cofiiiéuliiiii wasl
opened by prayer by Dr. Hawcs; A om-
mittee was appointed to make arrangements
and provide lectures for an adjourned meeting
ofthe Convention, to be held in Hartford on
Wednesday after the Election in May next ;
and another committee to prepare an abstract
of the doings of this Convention for publica-
tion, and an address to the people oftliis state
on the subject ofComnioii Schools.

At half past 11 o'clock, Mr. VVoodbridgr-2
lecturod on the introduction of Music into
Common Schools. In the afteriioon several
teachei-s stated the evils existing in our sys-
tem of common school cductitiun-—the result
of their expvrience,——and the diliiculties in
the way ofintroducing iinprovciiiciits. In the
evening a. large assembly was h’glily entertain-
ed by a lecture from Mr. Evans, on Geogra-
rapliy and As=i:onom_r. After the lecture, the
Presuloiit and several other ‘gentlemen ad-
dressed the coiivc-ii'.ion. giving‘. their views on
the important subject afcdtication. and leav-
ing the impression on the minds ofall present,
that much is to be done, and that something
will be accomplished as the consequence of
this interchange of feeling and sentiment.

DYSPEPSIA.

P.AINin the head, pain and yellowneu of

eyes, yellowness of the skin, a flabby and
soft state ofthe skin and muscles, lassitude, aver-
sion to flll efforts ofbody and mind except that
of magnifying the ills oflife—oflen an unnatural
craving for food which, when taken, produces op-
pression, and gaseous eructation—irritabiIity,
weakness, omaciation, and a liypocondriacis, are
the coiicomitants of the familiar disease indiges-
tion.

distressing complaint none ha: in .' » 7-.~-n --ca..-

1 he remedy is in consonance with this view, and
after long experience, and repeated efforts at im.
proyement, is still offered for general use. Ex-
perience, usually, perhaps always, the best guide,
has induced thousands to return to the use oftbe
pills, who have tried and abandoned other reme-
dies. . The pills can be taken without disgust, or
even inconvenience. The character of dyspsp,
sin is essentially chronic; it admits of gradual,
not an instantaneous cure Perhaps the cure
may be facilitated by mechanical means—it cer-
tainly is by temperance, exercise,chango of cli-
mate, and by causes that effect the mind; but in
all cases it will be hastened, and chances of $-
lapse diminished, by the anti Dyspeptic Pills’.
