THE GRAVE OF THE PATRIOT WARRIOR.
He lies booeath the laouoUis-hemtb,
It i» s rude nud simple grave;
A uurrow uiouud of loosened ground,
And neurit weeds nud wild flowers ware.
And by lliut tomb, with lull of bloom,
The lull. Ull ililstio nods and towers»
And iiinideiia bring, and fondly ding
I'poa its dark sod, daily llowers.
No Priest hath blessed his pises of rest,
lie died utuid the buttlu's din;
Ami comrades dear alone w ere near
The eurlh they laid the hero in.
No shroud and pall Ins limbs ent • ill.
He lies, as soldier should, arrayed
In feathered crest uud w-arriur-vest,
And in hu bund bis blood •turned blade.
Vet earth ne'er gave a better grave
Thun that where he is inonuty laid t
And holier spot is wurshippud not
By pilgrim or by mourning maid.
Where dm 11 be found a titter ground
For Valour’s deep thuu Victory's field?
The field that saw the foe withdraw,
And boldly lull, or busely yield.
He wnnts no tomb 'ueath Mnuter-domet
For that let proud ambitiou nrivo
II is glorious deeds uru all he uccda
To keep bis memory long alive ;
A Patriot tried he lived and died,
Lived for the Land he loved so woil t
And ut her cluiui, us it became
A Patriot's part, bo fought, and fell.
Then, traveller, stop! and fondly drop
A tear to dust of such high worth*
And mourn that one, so bruve a son
Of Freedom, should hove luff the osrth.
And if thou art of free-boru he^rt,
Thou'lt pray thut, whuu thy alar grows dim,
And death is nigh, thou umy’st uotiiie
Less nobly than they toll of him.
After alio finished, wo arose and started fur home.
Now, gentle render, I do not mean to make a brag
Hcune out of the foregoing ; my only object was lo
ventilate my heroine, and let you into u few of tho
mysteries of her heing.—And ^trusting that 1 Imvo
accomplished that much, we will now with your
permission, attend to other matter*.—On the very
next night, 1 introduced an old bachelor friend of
mine to .Susan. He was near forty, rather dry, and
very rich. When we left the ho’use, Mr. Richard
Worthall, for tliut wnw hi* name,told uio that lie ad
mired my fancy deusedly.
1 frequently met him there afterwards; mid ill
lex* than a month, 1 thought the old gentleman show
ed the proinonitorie* id a decided ease of love. 1
took it to be rather a curious conjuncture, hut numb
ed myself very much at tho fellow's vanity, in sup
posing thut he rould get such n girl a* Susan Thorn-
ton to wed him. particularly when there was so
strong q probability that she would shortly he honor
ed with llio offer of the hand of Mr. Harry Luck
less. 1 *ay I was surprised; hut when I reflected
that love make* fool* of the greatest men, I was sat
isfied that the folly of my friend Diek Wnrilitili was
quite excusable. 1 smiled at the prospect of such a
rival, and suffered him lo go on hi* own way, he-
lievidg that lie would come to his sense* during the
moment ou which he should make a declaration.
As the season advanced, Ptisan uud her cousin Hal
ly Thornton made up their mind* to make an iuvu-
townrd* her residence, I was overtaken hy Mr.
Wortlmll, who said he luid something very joyful,
which he wanted to tell me. I went along with
liitii to hi* room, hcrntiiig him nil the way, for occu
pying time which 1 wished to spend with u more in
teresting personage.
We entered Dick's room, and lie drew* cork from
no little difficulty in breathing, owing to soma
mismanagement in introducing the quilD into
hi* nostrils.
Thu* shut out from nil communication with
the cxteriiiil world, and not being nt the time in
a mood to commune w ith himself, the tens**
Dons of poor Mr. Snooks were truly hojrrihlt.
Ilo comforted himself, however, with the reflec
tion that they would he of short duration. But
his feeling* may ho in some degree imagined,
they cannot he described, w hen he learned that
the ignorant artist had suffered the plaster to re-
main on hi* head so long before he attempted to
divide it w ith the strings that the process could
not he carried into effect! Mr. Snooks attempt
ed to apeak ; hut he could not articulate a syl
lable ; he strove to acream, hut his voice soun
ded like the deep muttering* of the thunder in
the distance, lie then resorted tu gestures, and
made significant signs, which would have exci
ted the admiration of a Frenchman, imploring
a buttle of first rate champaign, nod we sat d . ... f o
sip it. and discus* the iinpotiuut affair which lie had j relief, lie stamped, he kicked, and threw his
......n a - »•« oii„.i .i i - 1 ■** arm* about liken windmill ; hill all lo no pur
pose. It seemed as if lie was horribly doomed
to wear his head in a shell for life. This idea
flushed on the mind of Mr. Snooks; but it wa*
too dreadful lo hear. He sprung up, and, ma
king the most unearthly sounds, w hich wore in
to toll me. A* lie filled the glasses, he turned hi*
eye on me and said—
“1 owe von a debt of gratitude, my dear follow."
“ For what!’’
" For introducing mo to Mis* Thornton."
“ Not at all—you know thut whenever lean in any
advance your interests or happiness, you have
the hundred dollars, and several other small sum*
for which I wa* indebted to him.
*' A toast. Mr. Luckless—llctc'* health and hap
piness to the lady fair, under approaching auspi
ce*."
I responded to it, w ith nil mv heart, and emptied
m v glass. As lie refilled it, I enquired, “ Why then,
she hu* been telling you w hat I expected, like most
other Indie*, she would have kept secret?"
"Oh. yes! she ha* told me u thousand secret*.
Tho thing is fixed."
I thought it somewhat strange, that Susan should
have made a confidant of him, nod let him into the
•ion of the Spring*. Mr. Worthull propoa- j secret of our engagement, for I certainly felt my

if I would arrange the matter with the ladies, ami I
consented. The preliminaries of our journey were
soon agreed on, and we made preparation* lora two
week*’ visit to the springs.
The day arrived on which we were to start; and
I hy this time became convinced that Wortliall in
tended to hear tin* fair one to the altar, 'f he could in
any way gain her consent. Now 1 did not believe
that Susan could po.ssihly think of him. while l. his
superior in every thing, only aw aited a fair oppor
tunity to disburtlieti my heart of its hurtling tide of
passion. But notwithstanding mv self-confidence,
I could not help feeling occasionally « slight pang of
jealomy, a* I regarded Wortliall'* kindnesses, and
the apparent gratefulness with which 3u*nn receiv
ed them. No. it could not he—she had too much
sense to sacrifice her*elf to one so old merely be
cause he had cash. Her heart harbored not so ini-
pure a desire a* avarice. One so young, so gifted,
so beautiful, would not sell her charms to Mammon
—and I spurned the thought as unholy, and antici
pated the day as not far distant on which the irrevo
cable link should hind our twain destinies together.

BLACK-EYED SUE.
Sue Thornton v\n* certainly the most magical
creature of v\ Iioiii the town could boast. She was
ilo* ovv ntr of a brilliant black eye, a fair blow, shad
owed by very diuk iretrscs, a red cheek und smiling
mouth. «splendid form, and n foot w hich would have
been admired in China.—With un everlasting flow
i if vivacity, decided talent and quite an amiable dis
position, she vvn* altogether one of those girls with
whom a sensible man falls in love extemporaneous
ly, nml for whose hand, were lie n monarch, lie would
forfeit hi* kingdom.
Our lieio, that is to say myself, Harry Luckless,
modestly speaking, vvn* u comely personage. He
hud a fine leg ami wore a tight puululooti very gen-
teclv—hair much like Byron’s—and a manner which
was admired by thegiil* mid envied by the men.
The first time on which 1 met Mis* Susan wns nt a
Imge party, where she looked like Venus in the
Milk Maid’s path, decidedly and far-away the most
brilliant of all the breathing creatures who were
killing henrtsarouiid her. We immediately became
mutually interested ; mid I recollect that a* we pro
menaded together, 1 could not help glancing into a
large lookiug-glaa*, for it seemed lo me that take u*
two out and out, we were rather the properest look
ing couple on whom the eye of man or woman oft
real* delighted!
There is a sort of modesty which Will Honey
comb calls the outrageous, for which I cure not a
tittle
well us my merits, and it therefore become* me to
any that at that period I was quite us eligible a match
for a well-meaning girl a* the town presented. And
in sooth. I was a popular fellow with the ladies. 1
suspect I received inure heavenly siuilc* than any
one else; nml a* to kisses, 1 could get them just
where I pleaned. I wa* poet laureate to the sex ;
and have at times had ou my hand* quite a library
of album*, in which it was my wont to write stan
zas. which put all suspicion to rest by convincing
their owner* that I wa* not only n poet but » lover.
nud thut they severally were the speciul objects of
my baundles*idolatry.
I wns just twenty-one year* and'seventeen tiny*
old when I encountered Mis* Susan. I had not yet
gone through the ordeal of fire, nud consequently
iny affections were fresh, tender and unseared. I
wns not long ill determining oil the propriety of mar
rying her, and commenced a regular series of atten
tions, with a direct eye to matrimony.
I called on Susan on onQ of the sweetest moon
light nights that ever scattered romance on the love-
making month of May. My charmer sat at the
window ; and after the usual preliminaries about
health had been gotten through with, I proposed
that we should take a walk.—She assented, and
soon might have been hanging to my arm, Haunter-
ing along, and turning up her glorious dark eye at
me. after a fashion that made ine feel curious I as-
but to command my services," said I. thinking of fended for innnns, he groped his way \vitli II)itch
difficulty towards the door, being impelled by
nti instinctive feeding to seek lor sympathy alia
ussistuuee from the public at large.
This mnrlyr to science reached the frontdoor
before hi* friend, the Phrenologist, could deter*
mine in hi* ovv ti mind vvliat course to adopt.

Mr. Luckless.—that scene in which Vivian stands
in die old gallery, and Mrs. Felix Lorraine comes in
und fastens herself ou him, with the grasp of a ti
ger.”
•‘Oh, ye*—yos—l recollect it perfectly well.
Don’t you think Mi:>8 Susan, that Vivian is aspieu
did hero ?”
“ So fur a* his intellect goes, I certainly do. Do :
von know that you often remind me of him?”
“ No—in what respect?”—said !, eagerly.
“Why, you are tolerably good-looking, apt at ma*
luruvermg, nt flattery and good dinners, nod withal,
quite self-possessed when one is inclined to • liink
you rather im|)Ui!ent.’’
“ If I thought you believed what you said, Susan, I
would rim nml jump into the river without parley.”
“ Well, I advise you to start off’, sir, for 1 assure
you I believe every word I said.”
“Now, Miss. I won’t drown myself for spite. It
might he advisable to take a leap into the flood how
ever, after the manner of Sappho, and cure my heart
of love.”
“If you have any of that useless commodity
about you, I would advise you Intake the lover's
leap. It would delight me to see you floundering
about in the water*, and your ghost certainly would
frighten the little fishes into ecstacies.”
But suppose I should get drowned ?”
“Why, then I would write your epitaph, and
shortly after become a subject for the doctors—pre
senting the rare spectacle of a young lady pilling
away into the land of shadows of a broken licurt.”
What fools the railery of a pretty girl makes of
the best of us! i couldn’t say a word by way of re
tort.
*• Come, let’s sit down on this log,” said I. And
wo were seated.
“ How beautiful the Ohio looks by moonlight,”
said I, “and yonder hills look like the residences of
fairies and *|>irit* disembodied of their clay.”
“Yes—thisisa splendid night. Let’s see—what’s

looked mid moved the impersonation of loveliue
— the empress of that empire of love.
There was much other beauty-there; but she was
like Sirius turning the fixed stars. Other ladies
might look the missiles of love, hut her arrowy glan
ces struck with unerring precision.
Had I not felt so sure of the success of my suit, 1
certainly should hove been much troubled with the
attentions which my charmer wus ureeted with in
every direction. My good friend, Mr. Worthall. to
he sure, was very devoted, but what had I to fear
from one of his nge and pretensions ? •
Two weeks had been wasted, and wo were to re
turn home on the next morning. In the evening a
company of us started out on a walk. I took my
proper place along side of Susan, evidently to the
chagrin of Dick, who hated the consignment to M i*s
Sally, when her peerless cousin wus at hand. We
wandered about n good deal; and ut length I man
aged to extricate my companion and myself from
the rest of the company. We roved about; and ar
riving on the hank of n noisy stream, Susan said
she was quite wcnr'md out. und tented herself on a
rock, to wait, as she said, for the rest. I placed my
self nt the lady’s feet. The moon was visible
through the branches over us, nml as the beams play
ed ou Susan's features, she looked t<> me the very
image of nil that poet in hi* rapt mood had ever
dreamed of. The wnter-fulls beneath us flung mag
ic on the scene, and 1 felt that the hand of fate was
on the curtain of my destiny.
“What makes yqu sombre—‘has sorrow thy
young heart shaded ;’ or have you very uupoeticui-
ly got the blues ?—said Susan.
“ I was thinking”—
“Why do you think 7” Interrupted Susan. “I
can assure you that it is very preposterous to be
thinking nt such u time as this. Thinking, when
the moon-beams are dancing among the leaves
which shade you ; thinking, when the melody of the
water* is ringing in the air; thinking, when I am
beside you; fie. fie, Mr. llany Luckless, rally, ami
be yourself again.”
“ What would you have me do, at such a season,
—be as barren of thought ns the rock beneaihyoii?"
“ By no means. On surh occasions I always re
sign myself to the spirit which is abroad, nml drink
deeply of the feelings which it mouse*. To he
sure, I like the crazy whirl of thought which the
magic that rules tin* place is so well calculated to
produce ; hut then, I like the feelings it awakens to
be mingled with them, that I may revel in their unit
ed and intense excitement.’’
“I do feel ail intense excitement, Susan”—said I,
grasping the small soft hand which lay before me—
“I do fee I an intense excitement! I think, my
thought are as one: I feci, hot have one only feel-
in*. Here beneath these trees, and in the presence
of the wildly romantic spirit which we both admit,
I declare”—
“Stop! hush! hush!” exclaimed Susan, in a loud
whisper—“stop, here comes Mr. Worthall and Sul
ly.”
3he sprang to her font, and waved her hand to
ward me, which 1 grasped and pressed lo my lips.
That kis*, thought 1, seals our destinies—and I was
imparndised.
•* All! we've caught the truants nt last." exclaim
ed Dick, as lie c.nnie up with cousin Sally on his
dexter arm. “ Why, what iu the name of all that’s
wonderful, Miss Susan, liuve you and Mr. Luckless
been nt.”
“Oh, he’s been charming me here with hi* poet
ry. Mr. Luckies* you know, has n great deni of ro
mance and fiction in his composition, nud lie lias
been entertaining me with a inpsmly on the bcuuty
of moonlight, waterfalls, and green trees.”
Give mo a girl yet, to get one clear of suspicion,
thought I. Iler words evidently mollified the ex
pression of mingled anxiety and ugony winch sat
njion Mr. Worthnll’s feature's. I wns so full of joy
that I could not suv a word. I frit that new life lmd
sums.
Wlnt tho deuce does ho mean, thought I.
“ You look surprised,” said be. was of tl
impression that your penetration had revealed lo you
the fact of our attachment, and that you had nntiei- i

thing to cure me—I will see you again, Mr. Worth-

" Very likely—I sometime* wish | hud lived in

“And then you might have been worshipped."

about Isis and Osiris, Tvphon, who will get you if
you don’t reform, uud all the rest of their ten thou

“ Well—wliat will you have?”
“ Meet me hy moonlight alone.”
“ | have met you by moonlight alone—und what
more would you have?”
“ The song.”
And she did *ing it with a heavenly melody, there
by the river side, and with the moon looking so
calmly down upon her beautiful face. The echoes
died away in the mingling waters, and as for my
heart, its peace was unusually disturbed, for never
did I gaze on anyone who looked the music she
sang so perfectly.
ft*It for you, at the Springs, it was my understanding
that we were of one heart und one mind."
She looked astonished, uud I went on—" You
hciird my story until we were interrupted, and then
yon gave me your hand, which act, I id* course, con
strued most favorably to my hope#."
•• Well, now, Mr. Luckless, 1 do think tlint you

A GOOD STORY, WELL TOLD.
FItOM THM BOSTON MKRCANTILL JOURNAL.
A man with his head in a bud box.—A singu
lar occurrence took place in a town iu u neigh
boring State, not long since, which was atten
ded with cousequeiiccsof tho most awkward na
ture to the individual who Imre a prominent
share in ilie affair, and \xhosd* real name wo
shall, for reasons not necessary to mention, cou-
real under that of Mr. Snooks. It seems that
Mr. Snooks unfortunately was the possessor of
a head of unusual dimensions and peculiar shape,
which attracted the attention of an individual
who had become interested iu the study of
Phrenology. 'This lover of remarkable devel-
opemeats gazed at Mr. Snook's head with ad
miration ; he longed to touch it, to have it be
neath his hands, and, in an evil hour, poor Mr.
Snooks consented to lie manipulated by the de
voted follower of (vail and Spurzlieim. Mr.
Snooks’s head was found to he a remarkable
one—so much so that the interest of the science
required a cast to ho taken, and Snooks, who
was not aware of the exact nature of tho oper
ation, at length yielded a reluctant coiimuU to
the solicitations of the ardent discoverer of
humps. The Phrenologist himself had never
been instructed in the rather difficult process of
taking casts ; nevertheless, lie conceived him
self equal to the task of this occasion, having
frequently received verbal instruction from those
who bad conducted that operation, lie was
told to mix the plaster to the consistency of
cream, ami then to apply it with an unsparing
hand to the head and face, having piece* of tw ine
lying in different directions across the cranium,
which, being pulled before the plaster became
hard, would cut it in several pieces, nud thus
cause it to be easily disengaged. Every thing
being prepared, Mr. Snooks, w ith a courage and
resignation which reflect the highest honor on
his character, submitted his cranium to the dis-
w est, he w ill tune hi* pipe once more in New
