Still wo yearn torn helpmate, and sigh that a woman is so d flerenl Irmn the angelic es sence she is p tinted m romances, and that she has so little 111 common with I lie immaculate heroines id blank verso. As it is, I neicr lied any woman completely to my (a’lcy. 1 might have known I should dm in single blccsediiCßS from what passed with Phillis Leyton, and j even she I eared very little about,. JI is I rue, I am grieved at lo rdo ill), but such feelings are natural—especially when the in telligence is unexpected. Fur I have only just learned from a county newspaper, that Miss Phillis P ylon died at, the Parsonage, Mary Church, .South Devon, in the filly-sixth vear o( her age, esteemed mid regretted by ail who knew her. It is thirty-seven long years ago since I first saw Phillis". At that lime of life, and indeed ever since. I cherished nftlniugr* ol leltnile per fection <pntc ideal in my mind. Slit! did mil come up to d. Tall, slender, fair, and stalely, ol lofty manners, of the most refined Inti, was to be the holy of my choice, and the most ex ipiisite beauty and indued elegance were imperatively rnpmvd. Phillis Leyton could boast neither bine eyes nor an arpidmo nose; her figure, though lull, had little dignity, and her manners, I am itlraiil, very much resem bled no manners at nil. Hot large, sol', black eyes, a nose exipi si'e'y tirecnm, bps like . berries, and a blush ilia' comes and goes three or (our times to 'he in.mite, joined to a most frank expression of countenance and iia'nral {fond breeding, are wry bewitching thing* lo the heart of a youngster ol twenty three, and J tell, from the fir-l 1 liked her. Having been once jilted by a Mary, and soon nfierwards dreadlnlly ill-used by a Biinili I vowed never lo endure any name under three syllables ; for women, creatures ol eireinn-tun MV neve, are influenced materially by their names. Most Isabellas are found haughty, llie Agueses pensive, and some of them are itoumn Catholics- .l utes and Margarets arc co.nnio ,Iy coimnoii-pluco, and us lor Anns, Lucies, Funnies, and lillens, what girls can keep up their dignity, when their godfathers and godmothers have been so much against it? \Vlii’ii yon are jilted by any Ann Smith, blame nobody but yourself for yuur want of discern ment. Quaint names I abhorred —Dorcas, IP,chad Bridget, the whole tribe ol them. Yet Phillis, when bestowed on a beautiful romping young i creature of nineteen, sounded charmingly ' pitliy ;it even heightened tier beauty lo bear ( her called by that. name. Yon expect lo see ( some one above the common grade when you ' hear people say, ‘Mia- Phillis L yton.’ My eldest, daughter, 1 inwardly informed t myself, shall be a Phillis, and my second a ' Bridget, provided they be as pretty m Pool's Leyum is. It is but customary to name the oldest daughter alter her mother, 1 run on. Sorely I had jumped ivbeiiily to matrimony, 1 but that w, s always my way of doing things, j To remember the evening I passed, the most ( exhilarating mmy life, does away with years j of dullness. 1 talked to Phillis, lor i could not f help it, though no one was more uncongenial to my tamper. In the beginning 1 shrunk from her free manners, and tell vexed anil an- gry to sec such a pretty creature violate so m of the canons of decorum; but, by heaven! site completed and gamed a coni' nlele victory over my fastidiousness at last. 1 ( 1 .ugh to recul what strange answers she t.’.a lo j to my obsotvarious. Thinking to suit my conversation to the capacity ol my partite,, I alluded to the theatre. Bite conjured me to ( toll her what it was like, for she was burning ( with desire to g). The opera—a friend hud prouvsed to lake her there tor the first time next week. Mu’il.t—she played Ins sympho- ( dies, but she preferred the airs from "Love in | a Village," which she had at homo m the country. Altnack s and Bt, J antes s, I inllis bad little, very little conception 01, but tier bead ran on country dances and country balls. I ler favorite reading was the “Vicar ol also field,” but she knew some little I found, ol •’Pamela,” having once borrowed an odd vut ‘ ume. In line, she was a conntryfi d ctetUire, and took no pains to conceal it. I 101 l my singular, and lo mennnal.nal partner, and in quired, 1 know nut wherefore, who and what she was. h was no romantic tale. Her fa'her was a country clergyman, and had of course brought up Ins daughter a hoyden.

Worse grew worse, bir alter supper 1 detec ted myself playing tori'ells in a .pilot corner «f tiil> room, and even struggling with the girl for my own handkerchicl, which she pro- Test, d she inns' keep for the sake ol the ow ner. This was no doubt a challenge to snatch some kisses; out, thank chanee more than resolu tion, 1 did not I o’ray my».ll into such all i grant outrage ot good manners, and Polios bade me good ingot rather sullenly untbat ac count. Half the ivghtl continued awake, and my tliougiils ran upon In r. 1 suspect she ad (mind me n n «dy auditor, and fell at home with me, lari listened with great eagerness, oven ecstasy, to every word she uttered. Phil lis h id given me a description ol llielileshv led in tint country, mid had run over all her amusements and occupations, hh aks in the green lanes, reading nt t e i,av-liold in snm mer, ea'hcneg i.ax-e ■ in untnnni, picking bil bcire’s, ymrn vs on hors.hick lo the newest market town, visit, ng Ibe sicl .and ombr.nd, erin ,r covers for chans and tab cs ill the long w.titer nights, filled up the sum of her inno cent and h ippy exist .'lice. She read our el der poets, and had a keen rel sh lor natine, listened to the skyi nks and blackbird., in su n mor, watered her flow, rs rla. y, and wa'ciic.l over them like a parent —pr. I, rred, above .I, tilings, a solitary walk in a .lari, woo.!, and wa'ched a ihundei-stonn with enthus's-m. She talked hkS Slukspcarc, and made the i country a forest of Ardon. I was transported, I and certainly did let some things full which mit'llt have iiintccl how 1 admired Iter. Morning came, and with ll»« morn sundry reflectloutt) not ct philosophy, but of Phillis l/:vton. "I w ill see Iter again,” I ejaculated ; lint 1 never d d «• e Iter again. Many may remark how unnatural to bo pi* ’ ning thiriy-sevoii yearn ol your it fir alter a • g.rl, bccii, talked with, but one evening some i 1 1 iv houi.s in all; indeed, 1 have laded against I 1 novo h making their nunatural heroes lake | similar fancies. Ail 1 can s.iy is, 1 never saw I‘iidlis Leyton but once, and though I do not i exactly love her, I have always thought upon her more tenderly than upon any other wo- I in in. A very trilling thing determines a man’s | destiny. I was hindered hy good breeding from calling upon the lady she was visiting min! I had riogocinted an introduction to the family. Tins took mo some weeks; and when I did call upon them, fully expecting to see Phillis, 1 found my charmer had returned homo, and was buried alive m Devonshire. I was so astounded, I forgo' to ask in what purl of the county, and rusiied away in a par oxysm. To he baffled in ridiculous. I will run down to Devonshire; hut there were then no rail roads, and a journey into Devonshire look months. Then, I could not prevail upon my self to fly from town in the height of the sea son, for I had been the most rig d observer of iho seasons since I was a stripling, and some bets were pending on my punctuality. At least I will write; and indeed people of ten wr.lo what they art’ ashamed lo speak. 1 began a letter to her father vv'flh ‘‘Rev. Sir,’ but, alas! had no knowledge where i l ' address linn. I waited to ask my new friends thin question hut put It oflTroin day to day. Oiicii 1 mw my own fastidious disposition, and the obstacles In my way rendered all thoughts of Pinliis Leyton hopeless; and in despair I ionic a resolution to col my throat witii mil delay. Jtnl I was lo tread the hal lowed floor of Carlton House that very even ing, and determined, ii possible, lo live and enjoy the eclat of appearing in the presence of royalty, after winch I could contentedly die. I therefore dressed, hut could not help imagining, an I looked in Iho mirror, the ex pression of my features eery languid. Hut melancholy, I surmise, became my cast of countenance; lor a baroness in her own right young, elegant, and unmarried, received my a-aidmlies with such condescension that I as pired to a coronet, and, lor the lime, hulffor gol poor Pin I is. However, conscience reproached me, for 1 dreamed of her that night, but not entirely. Mel bought Iho baroness told me her name was Phillis, and then shifted for a lime into the featuros of Phillis Leyton, who said In r real name was tho Baroness de D . All day my thoughts ran upon black eyes and pouting lips, hut I decided black eyes looked best hail veiled, and lips pleased most in an aristocrat ic curl. Nobility hath a charm independent ofhcau’y, mid lo a man of refinement superior to it. Tho harmless steps like a Juno; her very condescension is stately. Why should I linger / I made a sacrifice all real gentle men must make when put to the test, and gave up ingenuousness lor artificial polish; and since conscience was still unquiet, and to convince myself I despised Pinliis Leyton, 1 penned a sonnet on the baroness, and enclo sed it to the leading magazine. It was prin ted, hut much lo my cost, for the poetry made I some noise, and the haront ss thanked me in I public so warmly, that a colonel in the guards, i who it. afterwards was discovered had been s secretly married to her upwards of three I months, sent me n challenge, and I liked the notoriety of a duel; hut he ran me through the ; body at the first lunge. I This alia r brought all eyes upon me,and my i physician, 1 confess not against my own in- , elinulimi, forced mo to go abroad. 1 made | the t rand lour, and fell in love ns often as P/iil* , hs Leyton was forgotten; but J loved stnipli- ( city for her sake, and began to cotnt a Tom- t hoy 1 shall name Fanny. This is a painful | subj-ct lo mo, and I must hurry over it. There | ,s u ll affectation of artlessncss as well as of , art. My hoyden had no mind, and, what was g worse, less principle. On niy hesitating to i settle an estate on her she was determined to l gel, she pettishly broke oil' our courtship, no i liouhl hoping to see mo concede every point to renew it; but I was disgusted, and would not lorgivo her. I went through several other amours, all of the same kind, With females 1 met bought it. was mi honor tor me to ask in 1 nmrMige; hut 1 discovered the middle classes marry ns much for money as our own. Again I returned to higher life, determined 1 to seek a wife in my own sphere, not rich nor beautiful, only (rank and honest; but I was now past forty, and ill health made mo some years older. The fair ones, perhaps, might have overlooked those deductions lint my for tune was likewise reduced to a mere compe tency, and the mothers all hut told me nut to persecute their daughters. I began to hale the world, and brooded in solitude, which brought me hi 1c consolation. I discovered my heart had been vitia'ed hy (also education and the line sentiment where- j m I had taken such pride was the fruitful i source ol mo; tof my disappointments. In i my notions ol 'matrimony I lint, erred ultogeih- j 1 or, except once. Blidlis L 'yton wastin' only ; I girl I ad ever thought of, who could have: made me happy. If she he alive, 1 ruminated she can now no longer ho u child, and the liigh -Isp riled lomp will have lamed dow n tutu a i kind and cheerful woman. But sho may he ' married. I fell jeuonsy, and if you ever feel 1 jealous, you may ho sure love is not absent. 1 determined to seek her out, and if she were single, to marry her. 1 had known her, as 1 t Id you before, hut a lew hours, hut she had been for years familiar to my imagination. 1 1 never occurred to mo, so blind is love, that L’ii Ills bad seen me—had spoken with me—scarce one evening in nil. No doubt sin’ had done the i nine with hundreds—the next day—the next week—that I was a stran ger—that 1 had been torgolten the next morn - ing, or that very evening. All this never oc curred lo in.-, for 1 myself had never really forgotten I’hillts Leyton tor thirty ytars; hut men brood over things more than women, 1 so: out then on tins Cimxotic search, de termined to find her—in Devonshire; hut 1 knew not in what pirt, for our mutual friends had long loti Ivigiaiid and were residing in Florence. It was May. hot 1 cared not then for the fashionable season, and even trusted myself on the top of a couch I began at Ivv tcr, and w out inquiring through the county ; for Dr. Leyton, but without success. Sck ai heart, 1 gave up the qin si in des pair, and turned my steps towards Torbay,, where I meant to recover inv disappointment ■ j m tho midst of iho beautiful scenery, and then • | return home. Ii was at Mary Church, three . 1 nnles higher up the roast, that night overtook me, and 1 put up at tho only ale-house nigh, I i and nnido my us nil mqniru s, hut with u tie 11 hope, of the landlady. To my gn u' surpr.se i 1 site told mo. * Boor Dr. Leyton had been (heir • rector for y< ars and years,” and then began ' j wicping; i a* he was dead; he had d ed fro /ken-hoarlcd, onil Mis* Pliillin —remember her, iiy, hliu could never forint her, no more could her husband when he was alive, Ijiil. used I" talk siboui her lire wliole night long! •'-'be wua no pretty, and such a nebular loo; but learning never made her proud to the last; she would talk to pour (bib as if elio iiad been one of themselves. Heaven forgive Ik.', for ' she meant no wrong. Sac doubted not but it whs a hard thing for a child to break hr r la tiler's heart; —“Indeed, sir, it went nigh to' break all our hearts ut 'he time.” My good landlady made u long story of it, • which can he to dm a very few words. Phil lis returned to Mary Church, kind aid even more beautiful than ever, but not so contented. She had toon the gay world, and bad been J much admired liy it; she had imbibed a keen I relish for pleasure and could talk of nothing but London. Mhe found the country dull and its amusements insipid; cared little to walk in the fields, and less to talk with her neighbors; but when she did address them her manner was sweeter than ever, being quite as affable, and somewhat end and melancholy. She read much, but it was poison. She had brought ! from London novels, in three volumes, full of j high life and immorality. At Inst it was oh ! served she grew pale and languid,but elm never breathed a complaint; and at limes, when she j received letters from London, which she Ire -1 qnently did, unknown to In r lather, she re gained more even than the vivacity usual to 1 her before she Jell iioxic. After some months, ' these letters became more frequent, and as. j Burned, to a'l appearance, n graver tone, lor she would tremble to break Ibo seal and weep ■ when reading Ihi in. Hhe now confined her j self closely to the house, and passed days to- Jgother in her dressing-chamber, to the astmi. 1 ishinent of her good lather, who never drearn- I eel his dan-liter might have fallen in love da- j ,-.ng her visit. If iovu it was, 1 tour she fixed j I tier affections neither upon an innocent nor a worthy object. it ,r she never breathed a sylla ble of it to her father, and at last could not even bear to look him in the face. lore many months, Phillis confined herself 1 o'nlly id her chamber, it was afoul the tall of the lea', when a stranger one evening put up at the ‘‘Sim,”and the good landlady Bays, she saw something very diabolical in his coun tenance. Ho was tru wiling in baste, for he came in a coach and four, which lie ordered 1 away that very night. The youth, for ho was I scarcely twenty j ears oblige, was richly droa-1 sod, and hud the air of a man of quality. At ! t welve o'clock that night the stranger lett Ma, ry Church, it was surmised, forLo.-don; and thu next morning, Phillis, who had licet) heard the evening before weeping bitterly, w’.' s mis sing. Every inquiry was made, and the whole county searched, but she could not 1c found, I and her father never held up Ins head after, wards. It is believed he heard what became of his daughter, but ho told it to no one, and soon afterwards died. This is the substance of what J gathered from the landlady. Thai Phillis returned to Mary Church many years afterwards, I have learned in ! m man ner I have staled in the commencement. To know even this is a great consolation; for to those who have been troubled, more tranquil lity is a blessing, and 1 know not a bourne more grateful to the unhappy Ilian their home. No doubt she could never forget her fault but she had every opportunity—a thing so many .• desire in vain—of repenting it; ami although , she could nt no place hold up her head as she | had dune, there was no place where she could bury herself in greater quiet. It is not every * wanderer who is received into the ho.-oin of 1 an indulgent mid foigiving home, us Phillis i Leyton appears to h.ivu been. , A word in conclusion. These few pages i are a mere scattered record of my feelings, but there is nothing in the events themselves that, can warrant my inflicting upon myself the unhappiness Jam lamenting. Tint Ido feel i unhappy my language will vouch for me, if . what. 1 tel) in it does not. I began lightly, and would fain have run on m the fame buoy- 1 ant mood lor it was my intention to ridicule 1 myself out ol my melancholy, by showing 1 how ridiculous n looked upon paper. Alas, ■ alas! every word has grown more and more , solemn—every period has become graver mul , more overflowing with anguish. I liad bolter break off nt once, for 1 find myself shedding tears, and feel I am miserable. A PniNTKii’s ErtTAi’ii.—An opulent printer e!

It has but lately been commenced, and | 1 understand that it has already a very respect a- ; b!.‘ subscription list, which is daily increasing. 1 Suck a periodical has long been wanted in Geor- j gia, and it should not he allowed to fail for want of support. Thousands of dollars are yearly sent ' from tire South for the support of Northern peri, i odicals, while those which are established among us, in many instances, cannot obtain a support ! sufficient to sustain them. Why is this sol— \ Surely there are writers in the South who are j capable of contributing, and whoso contributions j would do honor to us ; many of whom from the want of a proper medium through which to lay their productions before a southern public, are forced to send to northern publications. Why cannot the citizens of the South support such publications of their own, and by so doing bring 1 forward lire writings of many, which otherwise [ will remain in obscurity. Although it is as yet in its infancy, it has re ceived contributions from the pens of several distinguished writers, and some of its numbers will bear comparison wilh tiro "Great Alirror” of the North. The good that such a work is calculated to do is immense, and w e should rejoice that such a publication has been commenced in our city, and use every exertion to advance its interests; and 1 hope that each one of our citizens will become a subsciiber, and by so doing, in some measure relieve Georgia from her depen dence on the North, and establish permanently among us, a work, the contents of which we shall not fear to have circulated throughout the South—and if those who pay annually large sums for norther,n publications, will but exlcn,) ■ their support to the Augusta Mirror, the only ■ literary paper in the Slate, we are sure, that ere I long, it will be able to compete with any publi j cation oftho North.

From what I can I judge, I would say thoio will not be made as much tliis year as the last in this neighborhood, (St. Luke’s Parish/ 1 ) From the Southern IlceorJir. There will he pre.-en’ed to the Legislature, soon lo convene, a variety of very important sub. jects, (or its deliberation and action.—Among others, the great subject of itrernal improvements, will occupy much of its attention, and will ho looked lo with great interest by the whole people •of the Slate. Wo regret lo know, that on this subject, so important lo the interests of llto coun try, much difference of opinion is entertained by the people. While many are warmly in favor of some measure by which the Slate will lend its credit to private companies engaged in works of great public utility, (the State being properly se cured in the amount for which her faith is pledged,) otliors are as violently opposed lo any measure of the kind as unjust and dangerous. We are hap py, however, in the well-founded belief, that in regard to the prosecution of internal improve, i menls, there is hut one opinion, and that in its favor. We believe that all are in favor of at least pushing forward Iho great object, as far as the Slate can do it, on its own account. This vve hail as auspicious fur the public good. j No doubt a move will he made, lo carry out some measure, similar to that lately passed in j New York, in tclalion to Free Hanking. Upon this sutjoct we do not profess to ho fully cognisant of popular opinion; but vve rather think it is fa vorable to some system of the kind. It is a no vel system in this country, and whether to result for good or evil, is probably more than can be pre dicted even by the most sagacious; time can alone tost the question. An attempt will bo made to organize the Court of Errors. Whether it will ho accomplished or not, experience has taught us that it is wi-c.st to oiler no opinion. The representation of the counties will he ro. gulaled and equalized according to tho census lately taken. Wc trust something will ho done, to render the Legislature a somewhat less un wieldly anil irresponsible body. One half would do the public business sooner, and much more perfectly, than it can bo done as at present con stituted; and would, in addition lo the diminished number, expense, and celerity of this body, guar antee lo the people a much gieater responsibility, on Ihe part of the individual representative, for j what was done —This subject will demand lire ) most considerate reflection of the oppt caching j session. j On the subject of State commerce, wc know not what .tray he attempted. One thing we do know, | that Georgia can never accomplish any thing of the kind, unless she has a sufficient fiscal agent to furnish the facilities necessary for commerce. And another thing vve as assuredly know, that unless this fiscal agency is created. Charleston, with her Twenty.Two Millions of Hank capital, will as surely w ithdraw the trade of Georgia, at least that portion of it which is not done at the North, as that our rivers run towards the sea We cannot oiler an opinion as to what will ho at tempted. Savannah, which ought lo bo alive to this subject alone, if wo were to judge from one of her two papers, is more concerned in parly bickering, than in attempting lo prevent her own immolation by her enterprizing competitors for the trade of our Slate—and, judging from the same source, would find more gratification in the defamation of an opposing political party, than it would in rallying the whole Slate to sustain it. What futurity ! —“Whom the gods destroy, they first make mad !” We would not however be so uncharitable to Savannah, as even lo intimate, that the Journal alluded lo,is in tho slightest degree a representa tive either of her views, her feelings, or her man. tiers. We shall hope that she may yet regain 1 even more than ber former importance, and that 1 she will not suffer herself to become a second 1 Hcaufort, if enlerprize, hacked by the good will I of the Slate, can save her from such a fate, i There are a number of other important subjects j which will probably engage the attention of the Legislature, at its next session. Wc conclude j with the hope, that they all may receive that, con' I sideralion and disposition, which will tell deci -1 dodly on the well being of the State. From the Ncm Orleans Dee, 20!h till. Lave:' from Vera Cruz. A commercial house of this city has had the j 1 kindness lo communicate to us the fol owing j letter from Vera Cruz, received ycsleidsy by vvav i of Havana. It loaves no doubt that the end of I j th<s drama is-near at hand. Vi:ha Cuuz, 27th August. We arc unable to tell how the present crisis will end. Different rumours are constancy cir. | culating respecting the statu of affairs. We think, however, that the arrival of the expected | reinforcements will soon resolve the question.— Preparations are making in this city. Parapets have been cree'ed on tho principal edifices and houses in the vicinity of the hat hour. The troops which had been stationed on the route between Jalnpa and Vera Cruz, have been order ed lo repair to this city. There ate almost daily departures: nearly all the principal families have left the city, and the middle classes are following their example. They are beginning to talk : about sending us (the French) into the interior. Tho commandant, wo arc informed, has received orders lo this ell'ect, and will doubtless execute them at the first appearance of the new reinforce ments. Several more brigs of war have arrived, A frigate, tho A.-trca, from Marliniq'returned thither some days ago. The naval reinforcements arc expect J towards the end of September. 'i'he administration and the congress ascribe lo each Ollier tho fault of bringing on the present slate of affairs, In tho mean time, the news papers continue their ungenerous articles against I the French. | All the archives and the plate of tho churches have been s-cnl to Jalaps. Inchkask of Population in Missouri. Some idea may he formed of the immense increase of tbo population of this state, by comparing the te-ults of the late election with (ho runnier of votes polled two years ago. In 1836, Missouri polled for Governor, 27,372 voles, and fir Con gress an average vote of 24.5C4. In 1838, site polled for Congress an average vote of 40,256, thus showing an increase within two years over the vote east for Governor, of 12.884, and over the vote gi' en for CungiCis of 15,632. If by this, on „ Vo ( a j 0 every six souls, il shows an increase in our pup ulalion, within thefyo years of 94,152. The re* sull of the cleclion ol 1830 compared with lha census ot lhat year, showed that the number of voles given stood as one voter to every icn souls • by this wo have an increase of population within the two years of 130,920 souls, or a population 0f40:3 560. The whole population oft Missouri in 1836, was 214,208. — St, J.ouia Republican, Tin; “Stiui’kii Pig” is all the go in Boston, and the Px'cw York Sun thinks they will ride it to' death.
