THE HEIRESS.
A sprightly, rosy checked. flaxen haired
little girl used to sit on the pleasant evenings
of June, on the marble steps opposite my
lodgings, when I lived in Philadelphia, and
sing overa hundred little sonnr-ts. and tell
over as many tales in a sweet voice, and with
an air of delightful simplicity, that charmed
me many atime. She was then an orphan
child, and commonly reported to be rich. Oft-
so and often lsat after a day of toil and vexa-
tion and listened to her innocent voice breath-
ing forth the potes of peace and happiness,
whic'li- flowed cheerfu-lly from a light heart,
and felt a portion of that tranquility steal o’er
my bosom. Such was Eliza Huntly, when
I first knew her.
Several years had elapsed, during which
time I was absent from the city, when walk-
ing along one ofthc principal squares, I saw
an elegant female figure step into a carriage,
followed by a gentleman and two pretty chil-
dren. I did not immediately recognise her
face, but my friend‘ who was by my side pull-
ing my elbow said, ‘_'Do you remember little
Eliza, who used to sing for us when we lived
together inVValnut street ?’ I did remember,
it was herself. A
‘ She used to be foridg” said’ he, ‘of treating
her little circle of friends with romances, and
at last she acted out a neat romance herself.
She came out under the auspices of her
guardian. It was said, by some, she was rich
-—very rich-—-but the amount of wealth did
not appear to be a matter of publicity; how-
ever, the current, and as we generally be-
lieved, well founded report, was suflicient to
draw around her many admirers-—-and
amgpg the number, not a few serious cour-
tiers. ,
‘She did not wait long before a young
gentleman, on‘ whom she ad looked with a
somewhat partial eye,. because he was the
gayest and handsomest of her lovers, enibold-
ened by her partiality, made herari» of1er.—
Probably she blushed-, and her heart fluttered-
a little; but they were sittingin: a moon-light
parlor, and as her embarrassment: was more
than half concealed, she soon recovered, and
as a waggish humor happened to have the
asccndant, she put on a serious face, told him
she was honored by his preference. but that
there was one matter which should be under-
stood before, by giving him his reply, she
bound him to his promise. ‘Perhaps you
may think me wealthy; I would not for the
world have you labor under a mistake on
aha‘; p0l,nt. I am worth eighteen hundred
o ars.
"She was proceeding, but the gentleman
started as if electrified’. ‘ E‘ig-hieen hum) red

“ ‘ No;. sir,?_ she replied. ‘ no excuses or
apologies; think about what I have told
you; you are embarrassed now; answer me

mg .
" She just escaped a trap; he went next
day to her guardian: to inquire more partic-
ularly into her afI'airs—and receivinrr the
same answer he dropped the suit at orice;
l“ “ The next serious proposal fol‘-lowed soon
after, and this too, came from one who suc.
cee ed to a large portion of her esteem; but
left her—and she,rejoiced in another fortu-
nate‘ escape. ’ ' ‘I ,
“ She sometime after became acquainted
with a young gentleman of slender fortune,

she had witnessed before. She did not check
his hopes--and in process of time. he. too,
made her an offer. "But when she_ spoke of
her fortune, he begged her to be silent. ‘ It
is to virtue. worth and beauty,’ said he, ‘that
I pay my court-not to fortune. In you I
shall obtain what is worth more than pure
gold.’ _
“She was most agreeably disappointed.-—-
They were married. and the union was so-
lemnized: and she made him master of her
fortune with herself.
,, ‘lam indeed worth eighteen hundred
dollars,’ said she to him. ‘ but I never said
how much more; and 1 hope never to en-
joy more pleasure than I feel this moment,
when I tell you my fortune is one hundred
and eighty thousand.’ ‘
“ It is actually so——but still her husband
often tells her that in her he possesses a fair
nobler fortune.”
SELECTED SUMMARY.
Furtlier Respite of the Murderer IV/Lite.
David Graham. Esq., on Friday received
from Governor Seward a further respite of
Ezra VVhite, the murderer of Fitzpatrick,
till the 23d December next, in order to have
his case carried up to the Court, ofEri'ors.—
The respite. we learn. was granted on a
certificate of Judge Cowan, one of the Justi-
ces of the Supreme Court. that there was a
probable cause for a stayof proceedings
Express.
The Vice Presdent. Col. Johnson, on. his
late visit to ‘Wheeling and Steubenville. o-
penly said that he had told Mr. Van Buren
he would be lzorrl run, and that he ought to
take the field, for the clouds were lowering.
‘But there was no budging him——-his Dutch
phlegm could not be roused. At Steuben-
ville, “Tecumseh” saw the 15 to 20.000
Tips. with their banners, mottocs and music,
and the loco foco convention at the same
place mustering only 1000, he was astouiid-
ed, and confessed that it would bc up hill
work to go against the public feeling.

New Orleans in their den, and Mr. Lemon,
their chief, and six others, placed in custody.
They had on hand no less than seven hundred

Carrollton Bank. The Mayor’s vigilance
is greatly praised.
Fire-Between 11 and 12 o’clock Tues-
day night, a fire was discovered in the upper
part of the large six story brick building
No. 553 it-. 555 Front street, near the corner of
Dover street, owned by Jacob Lorrillard,
and occupied by Charles Postley for storage.
The building and its contents of the upper
part, with the exception of a fpw bags of col-
fec, were entir-el y destroyed.
Additions to the Loco Foco ranks are very
rare of late. \Ve learn however that Mr.
Vaderpool of Kindcrhook, and our Collector
Mr. Hoyt, have recently had an addition of
a son each. in their respective families. The
accession to the party in this new mode, is
rather late. General I-Iarrison will be sworn
in before they have a chance to be licam‘

“ The treachery of Mr. Van Buren has
broken up the old Democratic party. The
elements, however, remain and the princi-

Populat-ion of Rochester, N. Y.—The
United States Marshal, who has recently ta-

A British police officer fell yesterdav from

to within ten feet of tlietop of the precipice,
when he fainted and fell again at a less dis-

also his ribs and one shoulder. He is not
expected to recover.
The dead Na.poleon.—-It is said that 350
vessels touched at St. Helena between Janu-
ary l. and May 15. for the sole purpose of
showing passengers the tomb enclosing the
remains of Napoleon. The omount of mon-
ey spent on the island by those visitors is
estimated ata million of francs per annum.

Light companies are to be formed, who
are to arm and equip themselves, at t/ici-r
own expense. ;,_
100,000 men are to be detailed as the ac-
tive class. Then officers above the rank of
Major are to be taken from the regular ar-
my, and of course selected by the President,
who is commander in chief, so that if any
one of them displease the President in the
slightest degree, a more pliant tool may sn-
percede him.
The annual deficit in this class is to be
supplied by draft, in case volunteers do not
come forward. These men are to be drill-
ed for thirty days in the year ; they may be
called from their families and their business,
at any season, and kept an hundred miles
from home for a whole month, and all that
time under martial law.-—-They can be or-
dered to any part ofthe district; for instance
the militia of Rhode Island might be order-
ed to Springfield, Maiss., or to any part of
Connecticut. and kept there the whole ofJu-
ly or any other month, upon camp duty, lia-
ble to a court martial for any offence, and
subjected to the same regulations which gov- off?’
cm the regular army in time of war. One
of the army regulations forbids any soldier
to speak disrespectfully of the President of
the United States ; and for doing this, or for
saying what a loco foco court martial might
call speaking disrespectfully, a citizen of
Rhode Island might. be imprisoned or other-
wise punished.
The militia of Rhodc ‘Island might be or-
dered to Springfield in the month that an
election -was lielcl, and the officers. appoint-
by the Presizlcnt, might let some of them
who would vote as he wished, go home, and
keep those who would vote otherwise in the
camp. All this he could do, without trans-
cending thc powers which that plan gives
him; and if the President wished that done,
he could appoint an officer who would do it.
An hundred thousand votes migh thus be
controlled at a Presidential election. In
case a man is too poor to pay the fines im-
posed upon him, he is to be im.prisonejl until
the fines are discharged. In fact it isa plan
for a standing army of an hundred thousand

“Of the career of Gen. Harrison I need
not speak-—thc history of the West is his
history. For forty years he has been identi-

Ufiiversally beloved in the walks of peace,
and distinguished by his ability in the coun-

the convention was called, but of a pilgrimage

the people in their majesty! Never were the
foiindaiicns of popular sentiment so broken up?
The scene. from early dawn to sunset, has been
one continued increasing. bewildering enthusi-

men have been overflowing with gratitude and
