Count Argent sought fair Kathleen’*

And told his tale of toy**,
And wellCoum Argent kriewthepower
A lady’s heart to move.
He told her of the strange and rare
His travelled eye had known—
He told it in his choicest words
And in his softest tone.
He brought her crescents for her hah
And jewels for tier hand.-,
And nil the presents, rich and rare,
Which boundless wealth command-
She cherished them-because she deem
ed
They were his true love's plight,
Amj gave him, smiling, in return,
A ringlet black and bright.
‘lake I. ns’ she said ‘and let (he curl

’Sweet Kathleen, no! let vulgar souls

Books no bkse'-priestlrite,
‘j'r i i nr, ambition, wealth Find life,

Sweet K it'.leen,say thou art mine own
And take me to thine arm's!’
Cold, m arble-pale and all agh ist,
\ while the maiden stood—
Phen over temple*, neck and arms
Rti-hed trie proud crimson blood,
‘L >ve riic!’ she cried, ‘and never dar< !
i'o cross my threshold more!
Le ive me, that I may i?olt and bar
My honest father’s door.
•Speak not! for never more thy voice I
My willing ear can meet,
‘Depart! —my father ’.l’frfn is stFonsf, '

I would notcau»e that human blood

‘Then Lady, seek thy l«fty home

And never let Count Argent’s name

‘Though he stands high in power and

b’arlul picture of the termination, of a
life, engaged in a vicious pursuit, and
especially marked by a cn i e,althouT
of the blackest grade, yet now 100 com

sed an opinion, that the moral effoct

com Mission ofthe crime of murder.

While endeavoring to view the
iperation of ernneyn the head, and
i«arl, i have been comn“H ‘d to fe ir
that there in h,tjt sei darn a soft frillow for
the head of the murderer, in the hour'
and in the arms of deat'd And that the

of punishment, and hones in sovereign
goodness, with the eeemina resignation

most assured by his limited vicegerent

One of the strangest dispositions "X-!
hibited amongst A great portion nf men
is a most unremitting disposition to
deceive themselves. May not an ignor
ance of the full effect of crims, on the
he »rt, and life, have a strong agency J
in the production of this int?faat’mn,
and frequently remove a strong harrier
to its execution? A philosophical view
of the effect of crime, on the Aeodl and
heart, the affections, and passions, from
the hand oi a mister, would astonish
the reflecting and virtuous, and indeed
all to whom t ie subject is new.
Tlie concluding part of the inclosed
sketch, descriptive of the reports and
religious odhef of the surrounding
neighborhood affords at least a strong
proof of the-, natural abhorcnce in the
breast of the crime of murder, if it
lees equally of tne susceptibility of the
miud, to receive die impressions of
superstitious suggestion. The whole

\ A CONSTANT READER.
THE MURDERER’S GRAVE.
Some years past, whilst travelling
through those rallies, forced by the
juts, of the great Iron, or Bald Vloun
tain, where th mountains tonent des
cends with ara idity unknown in tin
plains, 1 was co apelled in consequenc'
oi heavy mins,-, d high waters, to stop
at an humble cottage,a short distance
horn a turbulent stream, the crossing
of w . ".owing to its prodigious rise,
md current, was deemed by the in
mates of the humble dwelling to be
perfectly dangerous. On inquiry, i
found (bat it would require some davs
to get within iC? a crossing
would then only he safe. Reconciling
my feeling to the necessity of the case,
I determined to rest myself, and m\
horse, considerably jaded by travel
arid tn obtain . all the gratification I
could, during my stay,by accorrimodat

ber of apparently happy, and kind
.bein,'- although of understandings ex
treine'vT.iftited owing to their seclusion
iron me world, <& having heendenied
hose advantages, that enlarge and en
‘lighten the mind.
The folbwing day passed away in
grai'.iying curiosity or ignorance,and
m learning somethmgof the characters,
md pu suits of tne inhabitants through
mil the neighborhood. On the next.;
ne»sa.;e arrived from.a family, distant
ibout two miles, requesting that th<'
-stranger would he so kind,” as to go

wrong among them. Li one corner of
