HE NEVER SAID HE LOVED.
“ He oft hath Mid thal I w as fair
Aa lily ores rose j
He lull'd for roe in cummer lime
The sweetest flower (hat blows;
He twined with care the virgin wreathes,
And smiled if I approved r
But though he cnat them at my feet,
He never aaio he loved!
He seemed to feel, when at raj aide,
The rapture of delight:
Hie evea were lit withjoyoneneae.
When mine were glad and brunt I
He watehed me in the feeiive hall,
He trembled if I moved;
Dot softly though hia whispers fell,
He never said he loved!
He left hia home for sunny climes,
Full many years had past j
And the hopes that fanned my apntt flame,
Had laded all at last.
He came—the wealth of other lands
Had crowned him at he roved;
A atar waa aliiningon hit breast,
And then he eaid ha loved I"

Bhe had lost many children—now
The last of them was gone ;
And day and night the sat and wept
Beside the funeral atone.
One midnight, while hor conatant tears

THE AMOUlhDKD DUTCHMAN
It was about fivtt-and-twenty yenrs ugo, ns
Mann fccltloffij'kopl waa trilling under un un
eicnt button-wood Iren, on the eastern bank
ol tti6 Hudson, und enjoying his uflrrmion
pipe, tnat he wun suddenly nruused from a
cnmlortable reverie by the sight of a huge co-
linnn «.f black smoke down Ilia rim, which
ascended a* it were from Ihe very middlo of
the stream. 11 rose aloft in epny fold*, and
left a long dark track behind it, us it seemed
every moment to approach nearer and itearer
to where the astonished Dutchman aat.
Hens at first opened hie eyes to three times
their usual width, to be positive in the first
place that he was actually awake and not drea
ming ; and to be aure in the second place that
his sense of seoing if awake had nut in reulity
deceived him. Using satisfied that he was
actually awake, and that iho phenomenon,
whatever it might be, was no dream, he began
to draw in and puff out iho smoke more furi
ously lhan hia wool; nod,.instead of sending
the curling lumas leisurely above his head, lie
blew them straight from him in a horizontal
dine aon, like tho fitful gusts of a dark north
wester. Still ho did nottake hu pipe from
hia mouth, or utter a word. It must bo some
thing mure than an ordinary excitement Hint
will draw forth a Dutchman's pipu in tho midst
of hie afternoon's enjoyment, or induce him
to speak a word more then is absolutely ne
cessary lor the transaction of his ordinary
off urs.
l)ul still as the black smoke seemed to roll
up from the bed ol the river, nnd approached
nearer and nearer, Hans could nut give veni
to tits as omshiiseut by merely puffing more fu
riously tuau usual. He begun to sit uneasily
in his chair, to move thie way and that, to
aireicli up his hull-neck to its uttnosi length,
and to strain his eyes nil they seenivo lo be
turned nearly wrung side uulwards. At length
be could hold m uu lunger, nut taking the pipe
ftom Ins mouth, he exclaimed—•
" Mein UoitI”
This pmut ejaculation was all that escaped
bim at hrst, when resuming his pipe, he drew
in ana puffed out ihu fragrant liimes more
fiercely than ever; and one would have sup
posed that he waa attempting, by his counter
blasts, to blow away from before him the ap
parition of Ihe column of smoke which arose
(font ihe river. But it would not do j he drew
ibe pipe again Irom hit mouth, started on ins
feet, and'exclaimed—
" Donuer and blitaen I .Yasn Cbrisi! San
to Llausl De l'yfel and al. I via i*h dat for a
aUtnokecoroindarifferupt >Vruuw! Vrouw!
come here sos 1 De riffer is at a fire!”
- His wile ren out, rubbing tier eyes, for she
too had been indulging in a half dreamy half
smoky boor of afternoon’s comfort. At first
she could no! disttnefly see the object which
had so slanted Ihe good mao of the house;
and, bolding her hand over her eyes lo keep
out the declining sun, she ejaculated—
“ Were—were is it Hanst"
“ Wereexclaimed Schlaffigkoph, 11 is you

Tito good vrouw at last got her eyes upon
the phenomenon, nnd burst out with, “ I zees

how it dues roll and dumble up! You’re
right, Iians, de riffer is zure enuch all a fire.

“ Do 1“ exclaimed tho good man, beginning
again to smoke furiously, “ wat can we do?
If so pe do riffer purns up, it purus up—dere’s
no help for it.”
“ Yow, mein good mann,” returned ihe pru

fel / woman, wero is yourn nits kono a kaddin

The good vroutv, without noticing Ibis ob
servation of her husband’s, began lo bustlo
about in good earnest, and to tuke measures
for securing their house in case it should be
necessary, by actually placing the large scal
ding-tub under tho nozzle ofthc pump and fil
ling it wilh water. As for bans, lie could do
nothing hut smoko furiously, and ejaculate al
iniorvals, “Mom Goit!” “Donner nnd
blitz! “ De Dyfel!"—and such liko expres
sions, whereby lie might pour out wonderment
with which his mind was affected.
After making preparaiiona to extinguish the
fire, Mrs Hnhlaffigkopf, wilh (he real commu
nicative disposition of her sex, set out to in
form her neighbors . f the slrnngo phenome
non of the Hudson being on fire. She had
not gone half the distance, however, before
she met the Widow Wundcrgeist, who, hav
ing herself discovered the wonderful affair,
had on her pari set out to communicate the
nows to her fnonda the Schlnffigkopfs. They
both now mado Iho best of their way lo the
house of Hans, who, fancying there was no
use in running about Ihe uoighboriioud, had
resumed his -cat, and was merely smoking
and ejaculating by turns, according as tho love
of fumigation, or the exec s- of wonderment,
chanced to obtain the mastery-
By this time the strange phenomenon had
been discovered by the most of the neighbor
hood, nnd sundry persons, in running to com
municate what eucli supposed would be news
to al! tho rest, chanced to meet at the house
of linns ScMuffigkopf.
’• Donm-r mid blitz!" cried ono—" wni for

zecn de like! linn-, wni you think o’dis,
Y ever
-N you lazy shmokin hundt, you ?”
“ Wni I tmk ? Wy, I links do Tyfel is to
pay, and no bitch hot.”
By this limo ihe alarming smoke had up-
proached so near, that, the wondering crowd
oil tho hank could perceive that it did not arise
immcdialely from lie river, hut that there was
snmo species of water-craft underneath, from
which it ossended. This dicovcrv however,
did not in the lensi lessen their astonishment,
especially whon they saw Ihe vessel come
ploughing along against both wind and tide,
which happened lo be against her, and tossing
from her prow the foaming waves, as if in
mere sport and downright mockery of Ihe op
posing elements.
“Mein Gollt” exclaimed Hang, as she
swept ulong, " it is do Vlyin Dutchman, comin
de riffer up milaus wings!”
“ Fuifluclit and dc Tyfel I” roarod Fritz
Kobbler—“ how she does blough it along I

“ Wat n doll, gimbley she’s kol!” exclaim*
ed ihe Widow Wundergeist.
“ ’Tie zurely de Tyfol’s pack kilchin,” said
Jleinrich Sclmitzerechnutz. “ ’Tie no human

“ Yasu Christ I” exclaimed the wife of Shn-
itzerachnutz—wat a smell o’ prim-tono it

“ Zure enuch,” said the Widow Winder
geist, " it ia de Evil One himself, koing up to
Alpany. Look di re I don’t you see de little

“ Yaw, yaw, yaw,” exclaimed a number of
voiece*—“ I zees ’em! I zees ’em I Dere

" Wat shall we do t” asked one.
“ Wy, you fool,” said another, “ lei de ty-
fels ko to Alpany, were dey elong.”
“ Dat will neffer do,” said a third—"dey

“ Yaw, yaw, yaw,” exclaimed a majority
voices—" de Dominie isde mao. lie ci
pamsh ’em mil a wort. He can sink ’em in
de pottomlesa bit mil de opening of his moul.
He is one powerful msn—dat Dominie.”
It was forthwith agreed to commit the
strange craft, which was verily believed lo be
of infernal origin, lo the handling of th neigh
boring clergyman, who waa emphatically call
ed the Dominie. Juat aa they had coma to of the blushing girl to the embraces of the
(his conclusion, it chanced that the good man
himsolf who had also been attracted by the
novelty, appeared among them. Being belter
informed than his parishioners, be endeavored
to allay Ibeir apprehensions, to explain to them
the probable nature of the new craft, and lo
assure them thal, though it went against wind
and tide, it was perfectly harmless. All his
masoning, however, waa of no nvail. Not
one of his hearers would believe, that a ves
sel which went with wheels, vomited out
smoke in such profusion, and had no regard
to wind or tide, could be other than the prop
erly of his Salsmc Majesty; and they insisted
that the Dominie should take instant measures
against iho common enemy. Seeing ho could
prevail nothing against their prejudices, he
had no other means of satisfying them, than
by seeming lo fall in with their views; and he
accordingly engaged, as soon as he should
retire to bis home, lo uso all necessary means
for the expvls-on of the general foe. Thus
assured, the company dispersed, some one
way and somo another, lo spread the news,
how the Devil’s Ship had been seen on
its way to Albany, where it was supposed it
would make an uttack on the city, and would
finally prove a great annoyance to tho good
people on the banks of ibo Hudson, unless
tho ghostly measures in preparation should
have Ihe desired effect of driving it back lo the
regions from wlicnco it came.

but wo tuink, none are more remarkable than
the following facts, furnished by a creditable
correspondent:
A Farmer in Strafford county, had a horse
which lie ordinarily kept tied in the stable
with a halter. He has frequently been known
to untie tho halter with hi« teeth, open Ihe
stable door, which was fastened with a hasp
on the out side, and get out into Ihe barn yard
then he would open the great barn doors, by
disengaging from a bolt n stick four or five
feet long, enter the barn and fill lumselt with
hay. Afterwards, becoming thirsty, he would
open a gate, which was thought to be secure
ly fastened, go to tho well, where the water
was usually drawo with bucket and sweep,
draw a bucket of water and drink ; then for the
sake of variety, he would take down the field
bars, help himself bountifully to clover, nnd
return to the stable ; where Ins master would
find him next morning, looking as innocent
nnd demure as a newly married damsel I—

look placo two miles from Doylestown, on
the poor-house ground. It is computed that
at least ten thousand persons were present,
and we are pleased to stale thal them were
not more than one hundred females in the
vast concourse. The culprit was luken from
tho prison ut half past nine o’clock lit Ihe
morning, and rode to the place of execution
in an npun dearborne, m company with Ihe
Sheriff and a Catholic Priest of this city. The
civil authorities of the village preceded the
dearborne, und immediately after it about
twenty persons, assistants and friends of Ihe
Sheriff, among the latter the gentleman to
whom we are indebted for this statement.—
After these, several troops of horse and sever
al companies of infantry from ihe surrounding
neighborhood followed.
Our informant visited Mina, in prison, at a
late hour on Wednesday morning, as well ns
on Thursday morning. On both occasions,
the culprit conversed lightly and freely on va
rious subjects, and exhibited no symptoms of
lenitence, until the clock struck nine, (ihe
hour fixed fur his departure from prison) when
he raised his hands to heaven, nod exclaimed,
" Oh, my God ! the hour is arrived /" From
that lime until the moment of his execution, lie

scaffold, beneath the gallows, and prayed wilh
npparent sincerity for several minutes. He
protested to the Inst thal ho was innocent of
the crime for which he was olioui to suffer ond
immediately beforo Ins exit into eternity ho
made a short speech in Spanish, which was
translated by the clergyman. The substance
of it was us follows:
“ Americans I you seo before you an inno
cent victim—I have not to my knowledge
wronged any person; if I have, however, I
sincerely hope they oil will forgive me as I
forgive all those who have over wronged mo.—
Fou thirst for my blood! You think I am a

Wc regret to say that bis death struggle was
protracted lor np« arils of tea minutes, there
not being o sufficient length of rope allowed
fur tho foil to brenk his nock immediately.—
Tho poor wretch struggled convulsively for a
long limo, nnd endeuvored apparently in every
possible wny to put an ond to his mortal ago
ny. Tln-re appeared not to be the slightest
sympnlhy entertained in any bosom for the
sufferer, and so strong was the excitement
against Mrs. Chapman, that had she appeared
upon the ground, it was the opinion of many
that sho would immediately have boon put to
death.
The conduct of the sheriff throughout, was
such as tn have produced general satisfaction.
He performed all ihe unpleasant duties of
hangman, &c. with his own hands.
On Tuesday night last, we undersland that
Mina attempted tn commit suicide. Having
found a rusty nail in one portion of his cell, ho
ground it lo a sharp point on the stones, and
penetrated one of the veins in his left arm, by
which a great quantity of blood was emitted.
After having been delected in this attempt and
the wound hound up, he swallowed a large
quantity of broken glass, but wilbnut the de
sired effect. On being questioned with regard
lo these attempts, he said (bat. his object was
not to commit suicide, but to weaken himself
by blood-letting, in order that his death by vio
lence might be rendered easier. _ "*
Throughout the revolting ceremony not the
slightest disturbance look place among the
spectators, and an involuntary shudder passed
through the bosoms of all as the murderer
was precipitated into eternity.—Pkil. Enq.

O N assuming Ihe duties and responsibilities of the
publication of the Southern Banner, the Editors
feel themselves bound by every sense of duty, both lo
the former patrons of tbe Athenian, and those of their
friends whose aid they confidently anticipate—in order
to retain the one and merit the otner-to lay before them
a fair and candid, but succinct exposition of tbe prin
ciples by which they are to be governed and directed
in the prosecution of their arduous and responsible un
dertaking. They do not think it necessary at this late
day—a day which is sht* ling ita light and glory, with
such general and invigorating power over onr whole
body politic, to enter elaborately and minutely into a
detail of their political views ana opinions. Indeed, to
cient guarantee of the principles of Ibe genuine Chris
tian; so do they hold it only necessary to own and pro*
less the names of the three great apostles of correct
principles, in order to satisfy in enlightened commit,
nity of the nature of their political/aflA, and tbe inevi
table tendency of their future practice. The Southern
Banner,then, will rest hereafter for support and patron,
age, on the broad, Ann, and immutable rock of Repub
licanism. All those pure and hallowed doctrines which
originally flashed upon the world from the pen of a
Jefferson—which have been cherished an handed down
lo tie by our venerated Crawford, an 1t•• otessed ao in
flexibly, and so triumphantly practised, in many res-
peels, by our favorite Troup, will in it find a champion,
however humble, yet of stern and uncompromising in
tegrity.
Various causes will, they believe, tend to render Ihe
Banner hereafter, (and they say it without intending
ihe least reflection on the course pursued by their wor
thy predecessor, the late proprietor of tho Athenian,)
of more general interest and of greater value to tbe
party, than it hue been oflate, and none of which seems
to them, so well calculated to produce this result, as
the opposition tvhicli will be shortly exerted, in this
place, to their press, and to their principles. This idea
■hey do not deprecate, but rather cherish, know ing
that an honorable end liberal opposition, will tend to dim-
ulate them to Ihe performance of iheirduty, whilst they
hope it will rally to their support, their friends, and the
frienda of the party, for whose interest and prosperity
they are determined to devote every honorable exertiou.
The editors have engaged among the r correspon
dents, several gentlemen of establiahed Literary and
Political character, whose communications will hereaf
ter serve to enrich and adorn the columns of the
Southern Banner. And with regard to tho other de
partments of the paper, they can but add, that their
best oxertions will be devoted-to render them useful
and amusing to their patrons and readers.
Great promises are, however, at best, but cheap
commodities, and of course they feel themselves bound
to eay as little, and promise ss charily as possible; but
in launching forth their little barque upon the
stormy waves of public opinion, they must trust alone
lo their skillful pilotage for meriting, and winning for
it, moorings safe and snug in Ibe bcarlsoftheir fclloiv-
citizcns.

A EATER TU RE TUELISHED WEEKLY, AT ATHENS, UA.
I N issuing proposals for publishing a new paper in
this section of ihe country, reason and duly would
scorn to combine, lo invitefrnin us some exposition of
the circumstances which have urged us to the attempt,
as well as a brief outline of Ihe principles by which we
will bo governed in our course. This task wc perforin
cheerfully.
Tho population ol tbe State is rapidly increasing; her
system of Internal Improvement at its nascent period
of existence; her jurisdictional limits actually and pros
pectively extending; her chartered rights and Indian
relationships assuming new and deeply interesting as
pects; and her financial resources presenting to her
eons Ihe appalling alternilivc of oppression in future by
burthensome taxes, or bankruptcy without some eelu-
tary change in her representative apportionment, all
combine to render an additional Herald of intelligence
to the present number altogether proper.
But iheae by no means constitute the whole cata
logue of inducements. Ours is palpably a government
in experiment. The principles and terms upon which
it was based, were professedly novel, and by conse
quence it would ho lair to assert that they were nut al
together understood. The progress of events has de-
nionstratcd this truth. The constitutionality rf u na
tional Bank; a system of Internal Improvement l,y
Congress; Ihe power to tax foreign imports lur tho
protection of domestic industry; in short the whole fa
bric of implication, remains yet to undergo its final and
legitimate analysts. They are topics which must agi
tate, and thal deeply, every patriotic bosom inlhc con
federacy. To maintain Ibe honor and rights of the
Slate under her constitutional reservation ; lo remen.
atrato with promptitude and firmness ofpuipose against
all infractions of the compact, and to preserve the
L'niim by enlightened discussion or rational compro
mise, according to the plan of Jcflcrson and Jackson,
shall be our constant aim. Our columns shall also
contain as far as practicable, important items of intel
ligence in the departments of murals, literature, and
science. In our State politics it would be impossible,
under our present impressions, to adopt the principles
of Ihe Troup party in most of ita measures.
