met a gentleman in the street. I k_uew him
tobe rich and distinguished in the national
councils. I caught him by the hand. I
kneeled before him. I poured into his cold
ear my poor wife's situation. I told him
she perished-for want of remedies. He lis-
tened unmoved. He bade me go and work.
Iwas driven to desperation. A horrible
thought of murder and robbery came upon
me as I held him. That rich man. already
advanced in life, who ought to comprehend
the miseries of htimanity, and nevertheless

at the expression of his face I paused~—for
the light from the window of an apothec-iry
shone full upon his face. I siw that my in-
sane curses had produced upon him an extra-
-ordinary effect. His face_ became pale as
flint. ofa corpse. His lips opened with a
"convulsive movement, and between them
wandered some incoherent words:
My diughter.——rny poor child! Fearful
maledictions! a desperate man. That which
I most love in this world! Site!
I heard him. I understood him. Ilinew
then I had reached his soul. That he had a
daughter. I cannot describe the feelings
which took possession ofmy heart. for I re-
membered Anna, and I-had cursed one per-
haps nearly as lovely and good as she! I
saw a tear in his eyes. He looked upon
me with compassion and fear. He drew
forth his purse, touched the clasp and--then
nll interest vanished from his countenance.
He snapped it together and returned it to his
pocket. coldly repeating the words he had
first denied me with.

the doctor who had engaged me to write,

He sealed the letter with the calmness of
desperatioti. He then nddressefl it to his fa-
thcr at Philadelphia. Then taking up his
manuscript he began to read over what he
had written of his satire that was ‘to make-
every body laugh.’ As he read he smiled
bitterly, bitterly.
They have merit, surely, be said ironical-
ly. They are merry. merry. They cannot
failto illaltc every body laugh! Again he
smiled almost ferociously.
He seized his pen and begin to write with
.renewcd energy. The most wild and horri-
ble ideas coursed through his soul. His
breast heaved. His eyes flashed with infer-
nal light. _His hands palpitated.i~“,3 Hclaugh-
ed as he wrote but it was the mirth of devils.
He forgot his themc——the object the motive
of his employer. The demon of satire strode
his winged pen and the fires of an inspira-
tion such only as grief, vengeance and de-
spair can fall] into a (lane, hissed in every
line.
At intervals he would pause to gaze upon
Anna. ~
Sleep will be a blessing to thee.
Day began to break, and very opportune-
ly, as almost at the same instant the oil in
the lamp was consumed and the light by
which he had written expired in its socket.
By the ashv gray obscurity_ of the_ wintry
dawn Edward continued writing as if under
increased excitement. The winds which
howled about the caves and moaned through
the narrow streets seemed to agitate his soul
like some supernatural inspiration.
'I‘en o'clock arrived, and there yet re-
mained some stanzas to complete the five
hundred litres. Suddenly he hears a. car-
riage stop before the door in the street. A
knock follows, and a footstep ascends the
stairs. It was the-doctor. He was accom-
panied by another person whom Edward
recognized as the rich man he had cursed.
He took forth his purse. while Edward with-
out heeding him said to the other.
A momcut—-one moment longer; he said
receiving him in the little entry outside of
the chamber.

turning in four minutes and placing the
manuscript in his hands. ‘The doctor ran

It was indeed his natural child. the fruit
of an unfortunate passion. It was that which
he most loved in the world. The trralledic-

Since Mr. Clay has been a candidate, and
so much said on his private and public
character. it has begot alcuriosity even
among some of the Vanitirs to hear and see
the man. A German citizen of Stark coun-
ty, ii Vanite. some weeks since went all the
way to Mr. Cluy’s firm, naar Lexington.
for that purpose. Another in Indi=na,
prompted by the satire motives, recently
paid Mr. Clay a visit. and the following is
the result, as-related in a late number of the
Indinna American:

into Kentucky. met with a farmer who soon
introduced the subject of politics. and «node

however. I began to ask myself what objec-
tion I had to Mr. Clay. \Vbat has he ever
doue that I should not support him ? I
thought over his history, and to my surpri-e
I could find nothing Icculd condemn. But
he had always IlPt’II spoken of as a rich
aristocrat. a rlespiser of the poor—above
common people, &.c. I resolved to prove or
disprove it. Id--termined to visit him imme-
diately and see for myself. I ac.-ord.n-_rlv
made arrangements for starting. To make
it more certain I dressetl in my eve-ry (lays.

A negro would meet me at the door, and
inform me that Clay could not be seen. and
thus I would be rep» lled; or the wry best
I could hope would be a cold. lordly and for-

I had better stop. But 20 I would.

motives. We bellvvrtl Mr. Birney honest
and capable. and without any rt-fl.--ction as to
what effvct the nomination would have a-

A disiingui:-rherl Clergymnn of this citv,
who would prefer toist-and aloof from all po-
litical excitement. but whose name. much to
his regret, has been drawn into the public
prints. b Is of late been frequently appliel to.
for his opinion in regard to the line of duty.
in the existing political crisis. Among oth-
er let!e's which he has receiv:-d, is one con-
taining the following enquiry:
“Ifsir. on Christian or Bible principlcs,yoti can-
not sustain a Duelist or Slavelioltler, please comiriir-
nicate your views to the Christian Freeuiari. or

many enquirers after truth and duty.

in the disease under which my child is stif

hundr-d and forty thousand pounds. of an

from which this is taken says, furIlier:—-
