The following very spirited and l)L'aUi_llfl1l
verses are copied from the Albany Evening
Journal. They are from the pen of Mr.
STREET, a poet whose minute and faithful
description of natural scenery is hardly sur-
passed even by the exquisite delineations of
Bryant. The poem given below is in a dif-
ferent vein, but equal_ly successful with those
admirable and truthful paintings, which have
already won for Mr. Street adeservedly high
reputation.
Hail to the Statesman great and wise.’
The Patriottrue and holdl
VVhere’er our trophied Eagle flies,
His name with pride is told; '
From Maine’s dark pines, and crags of snow,
To where magnolian breezes blow
O'er rich Floridian flowers;
From hilly East. to prairied \Vest,
We hail him as our mightiest-
Rejnice in him as ours.
Twice. when the tempest o'er us hung,
And roar'd'destruction’s wave,
Like light from darkness forth ho sprung
To guide us and to save:
In the fierce flashings of the storm,
\\’e saw his proud undaunted fortri
Upon the quivering deck,
As with his eye on Union's star,
By his unanswering arm, afar
\Ve shun'd the threatening wreck.
His heart has beat in sympathy,
\Vhere’er throughout the world,
The yoked have fought for liberty,
With freedom’s flag unftiil'd.
Say, Greece! when nations saw you bleed,
\-Vho. trittnpet-tongtted. proclaini"d your need?
And climes of Andes. say!
That templed land with answering shout,
And those stern summits thunder out,
The naute of HENRY CLAY.
A soul where patriot love intense
And franlrest feelings dwell,
A splendid matchless eloquence,
A courage nought can quell;
No paltry limits bound his fame,
An Empire's scattered myriads claim
On mountains wild and lotie,
In the thronged city's btisy streets.
In the green forests ca-lm retreats,
His glory as their own.
\Vhat though distraction ltas cssay'd
To cloud his noble brow,
Down from the height hitnselfltas made
He smiles upon it now. .
The oak, -while growing. may he st_irr'd
By the light touch of breeze and bird,
Its bark each insect slime;
Mat ured-thouglt whirlwinds sweep the sky,
It lifts, unbow’d its head on high
In conscious strength sublime.
\Velcome his way—his steps benath
Let proud green wreaths be spread:
Oh l ltow our proudest greenest wreath,
\«.Vould brighten on his head!
Familiar as a household word,
lnoftcr ages will be heard-
(\-Vhen ours has passed away)-
A theme for song in happy hottrs,
A trumpet blast when danger lowers,
The name of HENRY CLAY. .

Strange Story/.—The Jackson (La.) Re-
publican has the subjoined remarkable nar-
rative, the editor vouching for the credibility
of his informant. The affair is not impossi-
ble, certainly, but there is something of the
fish story about it nevertheless. The lady
and the gentleman were dead shots with the
pistol, but the writer, we snspr-.ct, is equally
skillful with the long bow.
Some time since the sheriff of a" county in ‘
the southern part of Mississippi had received
in his official character, a largesutn of
money-—say some fifteen or twenty thousand
dollars. Under pretext ofa call from home
fora day or two, he placed the money in the
keeping of his wife whom he charged to take
good care of it.
Late in the evening of the day on which
he left home, a stranger of genteel appear-
ance called at the house, and asked permis-
sion to remain over night. Disliking to on-
tertain a stranger during her h_usband’s ab-
__sence, -t'lie_w.ife of the Sheriff denied the re-
quest, and the stranger rode on‘.
Directly
after his de,partu're,' ho‘wever,'th'e lady came
T -to the conclusion that she had done wrong
in refusing to take him in, and sent a ser-
vant to call him. The geiiffemant returned,
and soon‘ after retired to rest.
Late in the night, three men' disguised‘ as
negroes came to the house,‘called up the lady,
and demanded the money left in her charge.
Believing that there was no help for it-, she
at length told them that the money was in
another room, and that she would go and
get it for them.
It so happened -thatt-he money had been
deposited in the room occupied by the stran-
ger-; and on her going for it she found him
up and loading his pistols. He had awaken-
ed by the noise, and had overheard most of
the conversation between his hostess and the
robbers.
Telling the lady to be of good heart, he
. gave her a loaded pistol, and instructed her
to go out and present the money to one of
the robbers, and to shoot .-the fellow whilst in
the act of doing so—on her doing which, he
(the stranger) would be ready for the other
two.
With a coolness and courage that it is diffi-
cultto conceive of in a woman, she did as di-
rected, and the robber who received the
money fell dead at her feet. Another in-
stant, and the stranger's bullet had floored a
second robber. The third attempted escape,
but was overtaken at the gate by the stranger,
and fell under the thrust of his knife.
As soon as practicable, the neighbors were
‘alarmed, and on washing the paint from the
face of the dead robbers, the one killed by
the lady proved to be her own husband, and
the other two a couple of near neighbors!

THE COQUETTE.
BY JAMES SHERIDAN K.\'0WLF.S.
‘ I will not marry yet’ was her reply—her
face half averted from the kneeling figure
beside her, whotn still she sitffet'ed to retain
her liat'td—-whose arm still encircled her
waist, unforbiddcn. ‘ I will not marry yet ;’
and love was in the tone of the very accents
that withheld the boon of love, or deferred
the bestowal ofit.-
St. Aubyn was a young‘ man of moderate
fortune; accotnplislted, tttisopltisticatetl, of.
quick sensibilities. Astutl nt, and fund of re-
tirement, he had selected for his summer resi-
dence a small fishing hamlet, on the roman-
tic coast of D&VODSlii&‘C_; where, between his
books and the sea shore, along which he
loved to ramble, his time passed any thing
but heavily. Here he had resided about a
month, when the little community received
an addition, in a _vounglad_v'a‘nd her mother,
who had joined it for the purpose ofa tempo-
rary residence; and St. Aubyn stepped brick,
in surprise, when, issuing one morning from
the cabin in which he had lcilged, he beheld
two females, in the attire, and with the air
offushion—the one leaning upon the arm of
the other—approaching the hufrtble portal
whence he had just emerged. He bowed,
however, and passed on.
He had scarcely more than glanced at the
strangers; but, transient as was his survey
of them, he saw that one of them was an in-
valid——the younger. ‘ How touching in the
languor which indisposition casts over beati-
ty !_’ exclaimed St. Aubyn to himself.—
" Health would improve the loveliness of that
face, but the interest which now invests it
No visitation,’ he continued,
‘ but late hou'i‘s and cr_o‘\vded' rooms have sent
her hither-—forI prophecy she comes to
make some stay. Sidtnouth would be a
change of scene, not change of occupation !’
He was right. His thoughts that dry, were
in the hamlet, and not upon the s_horc. He
approached his lodgings with something like
emotions of expectation, of suspense. He
looked at his landlady, on entering, as -if he
expected her to communicate sometbingt-2;
and was disappointed when she merely re-
turned the ordinary response to his saluta-
tion. He entered his apartment, dispiritcd,
and threw himselfinto a chair near the win-
dow, the sash of which he threw tip, as ifhe
wanted air. For the first time he felt the op-
pression of loneliness. ‘They have not
come to stop,’ said he to himself, and absolute-
ly with a sigh—-and no wonder! In an as-
sembly, a lovely, graceful and delicate wo-
man, beheld for the’ first time would have
exacted frotn him only the ordinary tribute
tvhicli beauty shares with beauty: but in a
remote little fishing hamlet, inhabited by he-
ings as rude as their neighbors, the sea and
rocks, such a vision could hardly come, and
vanish, without leaving :1’ strong impression
upon the beholder. St. Aubyn sat abstract-
ed, chagrined and tnbrtificgll
The opening of a window, inn cabin op-
posite, roused hiin'.‘ Thevsash was tlirotvn
open by a white arm sliiriing tbrotiglt a
sleeve of muslin, thin as gauze.’ Presently,
aditnpled elbow reposed upon’ the sill"; and
a check of pensive sweetness sank upon a
hand so small, so white, that it seemed to
have been modelled for -no other officc than
to pillow such a -burden. A thrill ‘ran
through St. Aubyn, quickcning him info
wakeful life.
How the hand talks! VVhat a passion,
thought and sentiment are in it_l -.TVh-at
tongues arethefingers! Oh! the-.th'ings that
the hand which St. Aubyn sat watching, dis-
coursed to ‘him. as it changed its posture-
now with the palm, now with the back, kiss-
ing its owner's cheek——notv extending one
fingeriupon the marbly, ample ~temple——,no.\v
enwreathing itself with one jetty curl and
another——-now passed over the arched bright
forehead—now lowered, and languidly droop-

‘ Oh l another will waltz him out of he

Ht:-re the party separated. St. Aubyn,‘
st-at'ct-l_v knowing what he did,‘ after sitting‘
ultstrttctvd for. a few minutes, rose and passed
out of the ball room.
He descended the stair case, with the in-'
tetttit_tti ofquittingtlte house ; but the su ‘per
room had been jttst thrown open, an" the
press carried him in". Nor was he allowed
to stop until heyhad reached the centre of the
table. EVCTV seat buttwo, close to where he
stood was occupied. ‘By your leave, sir!’
said a voice behind. He stepped back; and
the tvaltzcr led his rnistress.to' one of- Illélli,’
and placed himself beside her. St. Aubyn
would have retreated-—but could not without
incominoding the company who thickly
hctntncd him in. Amelia drew her gloves’
from the white arrn they little enchanced by
covet-ing—tbe tvaltzer assisted her, and trans-
rm.-d them to the custody of his bosom.--5
His eyes explored the. table in quest of the"
most delicate viands, which one nfter another,

her spell over the excttctl spirits of St. Att-

arose, emerged trout his clnttnbur. and took
an anxious survey of the habitation opposite.

a slight repnst ; and sullving out, made his
way to the shore. He had not proceeded

same cause, she htd slipped down several
feet: and that sh.-, l"t‘t‘:t'3"ell, durst not attempt
to go to her assistance. St. Aubyn had heard
enough ; be bounded tip the steep. As he
approached the fair one, ritodcsty halfovcr-
come terror, and she made :1 slight cflort to
repair the disorder into which her dress had
been thrown by the accident.
St. Aubyn assisted to complete what Sl)t'
had effected but itnpcrfectly. He encourag-
ed her, raised her, and propping her fair
form with his own, led her, step by step,
down the beach again. Nor ivhcn she was
in perfect safety did he tvitlitlttatv his assist-
ance—nor did she decline it, though‘ as ap-
préhension~ subsidcd‘, confitsion arose, color-
ing her pale. checks to crimson, at the recol-
lection of the plight in wlticli she had been
found. , He-1‘ ankle was slightly spruined_,
she said, having turned under her,‘ when she
slipped. VVhat was this, if nota warrant for
the proffer‘ of an arm? At all events, St.
Aubyn construed it as such, and escorted the
Sl:l'ttDg‘€l‘: leaning upon him, back to her lodg-
ings. From tha_t moment, a close lt]lllIi£‘.C’I\"'
commenced. They were constantly tog:-their

frequently, and at last wholly alone. Coin-
inuning; in solitude, lJ=;'t\\'et.'n the s"»xes and in
the midst ofrotnantic scenery, when there is
no impediment, no distaste do either side, is
almost sure to awaken and foster love. St.
Aubyn loved. The looks, the actions, all
but the tongue of Atnelin :iSSI1l‘t'(l him that
his passion was returned. I-ler health -had
improved rapidly; the autumii tvasfur ad-
vanced, and the evenings and nights were
chilly. The mother now talked of returning
to town; a day was fixed for their departure;
and, on the eve ofthat day, St. ."\n'byri t'l.i‘esv
himselfat the feet of the lovely girl and‘ im-
plored her to bless him tvith her hand. Yet,
thot,ig'h she did not dcttythuti he had interest-

Sr. Aubyn did not ré'qui're to ask if his
visits would be permitted in l.()\\‘I1-7-lie was
invited to renew them there. An excur-
sion to Paris, however, on a matter of press-

scarcely dressed for a party; yet he could
not overcome his i:irpatiencc.to_ behold again

it would have been the same had-both been,

the lziitiiliai‘ vicinity, or she permitted it. The
whispering continued ;_ the word ‘marriage’

St. Aubyn spoke"r,rot,-"sa<i‘re with his eyes,
which he kept steadt".-istly fixed upon her.
‘ When did you arrive?’ she inquired hur-
riedly,‘ and in extreme confusion.‘
‘ This evening,’ replied St. Aubyn,witho'ut‘
removing his eyes. . _
‘ \‘v'lic.n did you join our party?’ _
‘Tl/‘bile you were tvaltzitig,’ returned St.

those who surround her, ‘stay a little long-_.

St. Aubyn stopped"; and turning, looked
upon her, with aniexpression so tender, yet
so stern, that she sh rank as she met his gaze.
‘ Not a moment,’ he replied; ‘ I should,o_ifi-
ly hca clog upon your pastinte. I do not
waltz!’ Then snatched her hand, raised it
to his lips—-—kissed it—and dropping ,it,‘liu_r.
