Artist! Uiou’Ucsnrhtwitb skill
That prisoner'a look <«f withering despair |
HU hsnils nre clenched—his lettered limba are atill 5
Remorse is rcigoing thore.
On Ills knit brow we seem almost to see
The cold damp workings of his agony.
Bultliat deep strife within—
Those burning memories of the past, that roll
Like lava streams, back o’er his paths ot sin,
Scorching uis guilty soul;
The hidden torture# of that ruined heart—
Thou ran'st not picture with the touch of art.
He hear*bis mother’s prayer*
He sees her beaming eye, her looks of ioy,
As when, her bind amid his clustering hair,
8ho blessed her innocent boy.
That voice is hushed—dint gentle heart is broke-
lie fctls whose hands hath dealt the murderous stroke*
lie sees the fair young bride,
Who left her lather’s princely halls for hint,
Aud at this treachery drooped, despaired, and died;
Wlin?e faith no power could claim;
Neglected, scorned, but loving to the last—
Oh, for oue hour’s oblivion of the past.
Yet that fond wife and mother—
They would forgive him all, aye, even more,
But nsl upon his sight there cunes another,
Ills garments dyed with gore—
Mu until is written ou his pallid brow,
Prisoner! bU blood is on tby soul—God help thee now.
Earth can avail thee not;
For. ere the setting of to-morrow’s sun.
Thy name shall be a by-word and a blot,
An J thy brief course be run.
Buthere is aid for thee; that white-haired sage
Bears thee a message from the sacred page.
List to that man of God»
He points to thee a refuge—haste thee! flee!
'Tit u» a fountain of atoning blood.
Shed even for such os thee;
And ail thy sius, though they like scarlet grow,
Washed in that tide, snail whiter he than snow.

THE SISTER TUKRKSE.
BY H. r. GOULD*
The following little story w drawn, as a fine
silver thread, from among Lite many of u sadder
mi l more fe trial uue, mat make up me crimson
cord of the history of tnnt bloody period, the
reign of terror iu France. It is given in Die
writings of a French author of veracity, concern
iug the event* 01 taut day, from whom it is nere
rather recounted man translated.
Among toe unionunate persons, who were
cast into the prison* of Bordeaux, to utvuit men
turns ut the guillotine, should it plcuse those
inhuman monsters in me hum-m lonn, ilcoc**
pierre, and his associates in cruelty, to rind mem
guilty of opposing their designs, by standing in
their way to rule, was Henri Delorbe. an inhabi
tant of the city, and a young wan of burtfi and
fortune.
In the person of De lorbe, a striking beauty of
face and form, and a noble lieuritig and winning
grace of deportment, weru unued with aridity cu
dotved mind and high-toned virtuous principle.-.
The horror* of hi; silttitics and impending late
paying oil his spirits, and the miasma of the
prison infusiug poison into his fruiue wnh every
Breath, proved too mucntbrbispoysical energies
to resist, ‘The spirit of n man may sustuiu his
infirmities, but a wounded spirit who can bear/’
Nature's forces in the constitution of DelorOe,
sapped by his accumulated ills, were made tor u
while to’succumb, lie was brought low inn
sickness, anil thought near to death. In this state
of prostration and lau (ui.diment. it was permitted
him to be removed from his ceil to the hospital
where the devout Sisters of Charity lent U;eir
truly bene volant and Clurwtain serv.ee*. attending
on the sick, relieving their wauts tuid closing the
eyes of the eying.
It fell to the lot of Delorbe to have his minis
tering angel appointed in the form of the young
Sister Thciese; a fair, compassionate, seh sacn-
firing girl, who, huviug renounced -me world,'
and me two other persons of tint federal head of
wickedness, which occupying the human heart is
the nucleus of so iiiuclt evil, feit only a single de
sire to carry out the principles of her profession
into action, while she watcaed over the auliering,
endeLvoring to soften their pains and to keep lip
the faint and flickering flame of life,—or, wuen
it must be so, smoothed the pillow of the uy-
ing.
The gentle nun had never heard of the history
of Cnuid and i'sycue and their near alliance; not,
Ciough she owned that she liud a heart 'desperate
ly wicked,' had she suspected it of having a vul
nerable spot, where a random arrow from the lit
tle, busy archer, reaching her uuawares, might
•trike and enter, and bary itseif beyond die pow
er of extraction.
The pleasing external of the young stranger
had nt first won her notice and drawn outlier
•ymputhy towurds iiiiu in his sutfering stale.—But
as his character disclosed itself, and he recounted
to her his misfortuues und hi* fears, compassion
completed what a tender interest had begun ill
the bosom that had never biispectcd itseli ol be
itig susceptible to any but a heavenly love; while
Tiiorese resolved to do all within her power to re
store him to file and health, and men to effect ins
escape from confinement and peril, if the wits ot
a nun c’ould devise the menus.—And she had not
only 'charity, watch hop’tsth all things,' but nUo,
ingenuity to 'seek out many inventions.
Her fuith and work* are ut lust blessed iu mani
fold signs that the disease had run to its limits,and
was giving wav, subdued by the superior powers
in the con hitudotf of her pu;ieul. dut her own
heart hud become agitated by a strange uneasi
ness,—the seat of a new malady, which the pliysi-
ciuus do not reckon with the sell-1 uiiied diseases,
or number among those within the sphere ol their
medical practice; and ubuut wmc . me metaphy
sical talk very clearly und wisely while they cun
neither solve its nature, calculate its duration,
prescribe un antidote, nor resist its utiacks. Vet,
among her most earthly Mouglits, T’herese admit
ted not die possibility of her ever seeing Delorbe
beyond the wull which then enclosed them, should
bo recover, and regain his liberty She only
wished that lie might go lortli to life and liberty,
while she remain id belaud, ‘dead 10 the world,
but 11 live to memory and self-denying bouificence,
-to think of him; aud if this were sinful, to re
pent, get absolved, uiul t en go on and sin again.
Yet, at tlie same time, like ugoud little nun, she
shuddered ut tho thought ol letting her consecrat
ed heart run so for astray, as to fusion its hc ven-
devoted string! ou any earthly object. Nor did
■he let tbe secret ofher bosom escape in word or
dee 1, or look. She kept ner sentiments to herself
an I govs her attention. uud her services to her
dt ti 11 and her cuange.
Meantime tiie soft sensibilities of tlie muladc
had uot. been deadened or idle under the cure
of hit gentle nurse. “Painnee," says one
student of tho human? affections, “is the art of
hoping." Tniswas confirmed in the diligent
eudeuvorsof Theresa to revive the object of
her kiuJness, and to sot him free. "Hope,"
says another, "is tlie dream of a waking inun."
This, also, might have been pronounced true
concerning the invalid, cou'd ins thoughts Imve
been read as they passed unuttered through his
nfnd. Strange •# it may teem to those, who do
no*nmhr'atand hotv wildly and perversely the
•» ward * cart will sometimes take if upon Ikulf
to act i i epeu lentlv of the reu.-oninghoad, while
Delorbe was vet uncertain whether he was vir-
tut ly a beheaded m in or not. but certain that his
■lenethctres* had renounced the world professed
•lerself dead to earthly attachment,’ Ills liffllt had
warmed its With new’ vitality beneath her care,
and was shooting out it young a flections after
her. like the roots of an air plant, that' grow with
out ground, and live upon the wind that shakes
diom. But he, too,had learned, "a wise man
-tmredi his longue,” especially in a care like
his (if indeed he overbad i predecessor);and he
opt silence, .not allowing an intimation of the
tru li too<c .pe concerning his penchant for file
ir recluse.
Tiiorese had now fixed on a time and a way
o bring about his liberation. He was sick und in
prison, and she had ministered unto him.’und
now would she 'throw open the prison doors to
-itn (h it tvas bound,* not forgetting, flint, while it
was enjoined on her to do file one filing, it tvos
also her instruction 'not to leave the other undone.
5dm. to do this latter good, become necessary for
.er to confide her plan to n third person, and to
enlist his assistance in carrying it out to success.
This person, as will shortly appear, tvas the ‘sur
geon of the l.ospitul.
In Me trying day. she instructed Delorbe to
feign fatal symptoms, utul then it dying struggle,
after which lie must sink nway ns'if life had de
p ricd. a little while he lore the usual hour for the
it ending physician to make his rouud among the
pa ients. Delorbe obeyed; for he saw tint she
knew well how* to coudiine the wisdom of file ser-
lent with tire harmles-ness of tlie dove, while lie
lecame her docile pupil. He affected a'ltuoitg
paroxism, succeeding languor, and. nt last, a
sleen that has.no dieaiu. ftgpvns the custom when
osenad expired. Therese spread tlie shcc; up ot er
his face, to signify that lie hid reisod to breathe;
it»d there he lay dike n form of spiritless clay .when
the physici <n entered.' Supposing that hisimfieifi

eenfiy his l ist snqggle was over, and hotv he had
sunk utvav, he t.en passed on to feel the puL-e*
of others.’ that bent, no donbt, more feebly fiun
tint of the supposed corpse.
In the evenmg.Tltcrese pretended that tbe liody
of tlie prisoner tvas demanded for the instruction
of the pupils, aud had him removed iuto the dis
secting hall. Here the kind surgeon seeing that
flic subject tvas under tlie influence of a more
tender and skilful operator than his otvn hand
and Made, and that the bodv needed to he clothed
rather than dismembered, had made provision a-
ga n#t exposure, and furnished a suit of his own
anneiits. in which the pretended dead tvas hasti
ly habited, and in the disguise passed out, unsus
pected. to a place of refuge.
The next day, Therese being questioned, threw
herself upon the merev of her superiors, and
confessed t ie whole truth, a* to her stmt.icem,witli
so much candor and apparent comrilion for the
offence, and such prote-ta.ion« of the piety that
le i her to t ike such a course, that she tvas iorgiv*

Delorbe h td engaged her to meet him once mme

This House has now been open for a week,
ind we may venture to say that no one week
since its first opening, has been so distinguished
for untiring Real on the part of a Manager, os Mr.
Forrrs has given us proofed in the past weok.—
In addition to pieces long ago established by pub
lic approbation, we have had But.wen’s justly cel
ebrated IMay of the Lady of Lgont, and Shrridax
Knowi.es’ Comedy of "His Lore Ckase,” for the
Hist time in Savannah, and certainly uo two piecos
are better calculated for showing tho powers of a
Company than those. There it no subordinate
part, which moy be filled by any bodft and to lie
given eflec ively, each performer must know his
business well. In this Company, we are happy
to see flat we can have performed in Savannah
the greatest efforts of modern genius, aud that too
as they should be.
Of the performance ofTftr Lore Chase we can-
110 ‘ speak forourselves,butthehighencomiuinswo
have heard bestowed out of doors, is a sufficient
guarantee for its successful performance.
Of the performance of the Ladg of Lyons, we
c.muot speak too highly; full effect was given to
Me beautiful language of Bulwlr, by Mr. Forbes
us Clauds Melnotte. Tho struggle between virtue
and passion, was well pourtrayed—aud iu the
speech in extenuation of the deceit pra teed
upon Pauline, we think Mr. Forums peculiarly
happy. Air. Ismrrwood, 11s tlie bitter and re
vengeful Beaumont, did justice to his port, ami
Glacis was played by Mr. Mamsox iu his usual
good style. Mrs. Bar ikr's Pauline was as natu
ral as if she hud been born the spoiled, yet aff ec-
t onatc mid beautiful daughter of tlie rich Mer
chant of Lyon*. In fact, every one did their part,
and seldom have we seen any filing go off* with *0
much eclat.
In the afterpiece, Air. Pearson sang some of
Ilia fuvorite songs with great applause. If we
mistake not, this gentleman will receive golden
op.man* ut tlie hands of a discerning public, uud
assuredly lie'deserves them
The House was tolerably well filled, by a very

heart proved a traitor to her in the very moment
of necessity; and she could not. for her life, rally
the arsu'iients of objection, which she thought it
was perhaps her duty to raise. ag.i<n*t her lover's
nroposnl. and u voice was pleading strongly in it*
fovor. A subtle casuist was operating on her vvn-
vi ring soul; mid she reasoned, that if it were
sinful to break her convent vows and go back to
'he path* of the worldlimr. she was already guilty,
since the transgression of tbe heart was the very
•‘mil of actual tr.in«gre#*iou; she should never
eel'e to regret that *hc bail hound herself to the
letter ofher vow, when in spirit she had broken it.
since she let her lover depart without her: aud,
since her heart had gone out into the way* of tlie
wanderer, hand, foot, and nil migi t as well go

A Hat Story.—Our osfice i* completely infested
with rats, (not rut printers—they lire an urticte
which we keep clear of.) While cogitating tlie
best plun of getting rid ot the critters, ulrietiJ came
n, nnd upon mentioning the matter to him. in t .e
course ot the conversutiou.hereiat.'dthe ibl.owiug
story which.from hi* character for veracity,we nre
willing to endorse. He occupied,a short time since,
a* a store room, an old building wh.cii was com
pletely olive with rats. While setting in the back
pnrt of his store on Sunday, very much engaged
in rending, he heard a slight tapping on tie flour,
und thinking it wo* accusioned by some or 1m try
p/ank of hi* tormentors, lie did uot immediately
take hi* eye* from the book. Still the noise wu#
heard—Dip, tap, tap, nnd at last, upon turning
rouud, he wn* astonished to perceive the c ause of
it, During tlie day previous, lie had taken in n
quantity of egg*, and had deposited Mem in a keg,
until it wu# about 3' 1 * full- The tapping was oc-
c 'sioned hy the removal of the egg* by file rats.
He was so much surprised that lie determined o
watch the progress ot tlie removul ol tuedeposi:#
which was conducted in so singular a manner.
The old fellow whom hu'hud seen hopping
way on his hind leg*, with an egg between nis
fore one*, soon relumed, und on tearing up
against the outside ofthe keg, he perceived 11
partner, engaged iu the speculation, hand him an
egg from the inside, winch he carried oft’, mid
immediately returned lor (mother, which w.i#
handed him in like manner. Tne gen.iemuti
watched them until they hud carried off*some
half dozen egg*, uud then interrupted them. We
were not awure that these vermin practised the
doctrine of uiutuul ussisUmce. Iu this instance
to such 11 degree of simplicity as to render itprou
ode for the Nike ofthe didilhitioii. Tnn*. from
the carcase of a horse he obtained, by d sr ictive
dts'illufion, 700 cubic feet of ga* suit dde for pur-
po*os of ill'imin it.on. 24 lb qfsal ammoniac, and

EXTRACTS FROM LATK KSOUSlI I'AI'F.R*,
A man llcscucdfroin a Tiger by a Lion,—A Birr
correspondent ofthe Dublin Post, dating Friday,
say*;— * Since I came here 1 heard an anecdote
ol one of Batty’s lions, which shows the sagacity
of that noble mutual in a remarkable po.nt of
view. Those who visit.:.] Betty's menagerie, in
Dublin, will remember that lie hud two nous and a
tiger tamed together in the sutnecuge, and wliiUt
exhibiting at Roscre u few days ago, the keeper
of there animal*’ whiltst in the cage with them,
missed his foot and fell upon the tiger, which was
onleep at the moment. The uuunul, become
enraged, and. jumping up, caught the unfortunate
man by the thigh. A thrill of horror pervaded tiie
hundred* of spectator# who were visiting tne ex
hibition at the time, and the man’s destruction
was deemed inevitable, whan, to the inexpressi
ble joy . a* well a« amazement of ull present, the
lion seized Die tiger hy tlie neck, uud caused it ut
once to relinquish it* hold, whilst the mail was
drugged out of his cuge, bleeding in u dreadful
manner. He wu* immediately pluced uudor tlm
care of Dr. Tynam, of this town, and is now quite
recoved.
Carious Old Coin,—A few days since one of
the workmen employed in removing the uudei
ground rum* of the old Castle of Hington. near
Northallerton, discovered u silver penny of Henry
III, in a fine state of preservation. On the obverse
