Real Lire—The Insane Bride am> Belle A
correspondent of tlie St. Louis Intelligencer, who
recently visited the Cincinnati Asylum for the
Insane, gives this brief sketch of one of the in
mates:
‘ ilero is now confined the voting lady who has
sootteti been seen within the past few y ears, pro
menading Fourth street in this city, dressed up in
insane finery, intended for bridal habiliments, t’an
tu-ticully decorated; -end inquiring occasionally of
passers-by for the faithless cause of hor too fatal
s Trow. She had completed a lonely pilgrimage
fi om Europe, to unite her fortunes with those of
her betrothed, who had preceded her a twelve
month or so. Alter a weary search, she found him
doing business, and- -married. The shook deprived
iter ot hei i'(n. Every is, since,in
dicated by her disordered fancy, as tint one upon
which her ••Henry” is coming to fulfil luk vows,
mid alio arrays herself to meet him accordingly.
Her nightly disappointment yields easily to a
brighter hope for tho morrow, and tints her be
clouded existence is wegringawu’ - . When I called
at iier room, site was not dressed in her ustta! pnra
phernnba. Upon being informed that a gentleman
wished to see her, no earthly Inducements could
prevail on Iter to appear until after she had elubo
ra'tly arrayed herself with every single device and
adornment of her fanciful costume. She evidently
imagined that the object of her long expectation
had arrived: and when at last she met me, mani
fested her disappointment in a wry that vu any
thing but flattering to her vister.”
The stunc correspondent furnishes the fol'owing:
“Another object of singular interest is Mrs. Xl—,
who was formerly known as the ‘belle of Madison.
Siie does not seem now to bo over twenty-four
years of ago. Fot long after her marriage her fa
ther died, and very soon thereafter her husband
also. Tho double blow was too heavily charged for
the tenderness of her affections, and dethroned her
reason forever. With a countenance the most beau
tiful I have ever seen, site sits almost motionless
from day to day—an inexpressible sadnestbeaming
from her soft and lustrous eves—while the whole
ekpressioo of her fuco conveys, if I may so speak,
a sort of intensified sweetness and resignation.
She never speaks—but yields instinctively to every
suggestion or intimation of any kind from the
keepers, aud signifies only affirmative or negative
repiies, by a motion of the bead. 80 perfect a pic
ture of deep, unutterable sorrow, 1 had never be
fore seen, or been übie to imagine. I feel as if it
will be likely to haunt me for a month to come.
Tills unfortunate lady is pronounced iueurablo.
‘•There is another beautiful young woman here,
who, under a promise <jf marriage, accompanied a
young man from her father’s residence in Illinois
to thie city, mid was here deserted by him in tho
.streets. She is one of the most furious and unoon
trollublo inmates of the asylum. When her ceil
door was opened, she was raving terribly, and sha
ki'ig at the iron fastenings of her window. She
turned upon me with a savage vindictiveness which
rather inclined me to a sudden leaving, when my
composure was comparatively restored by a view
of the strong drains witii which she was confined
to tlie wall. In a fuw minutes her fury was soft
ened down to pathetic e' treaty, and she made tho
most touching and tearful appeals against her un
nectssarv and cruel confinement. I turned away,
thinking that the sigiit might, perhaps, be a pro
fitable one to her destroyer, if he has not yot suffi
ciently repented of his crime."
A Do'.toti as is a Doctok. —A country physician
was called to visit a young man afflicted with np
poplexy. M. D. Bolus gated long aud hard, felt
his pulse und pocket, looked at his tongue and his
wile, and finally gavo vent to the following sub
lime opinion :
“! think he’s a gone fellow.”
“No, no!” cxeluimcd tha sorrowing wife,* “do
not say that.”
“ Yes,” returned Bolus, lifting up his hat and
eyes heavenward at the same time, “Yes, 1 do sav
so; there arn’t no hope, not leastest raito; lies
got a attack of nihil fit in his lost froutia—
“ Where?” cried the startled wife.
“In his lost front is, and he carn’t be cured
without some trouble and a great deal of pains.
You sec, his whole planetary system is deranged,
fustly his vox populi is pressin’ on his advalorum ;
secondly, his cutuearpul cmeimous has swulled
considerably if not more ; thirdly and lastly, his
solar ribs are in a concussed state," and he ain’t got
any money, consequently lie’s bound to die."
•f Disea-cs is very vaiious” said Mrs. Partington,
ns she returned from u street door conversation
with Dr. Bolus. “Tho doctor tel]» mo that poor
old Mrs. llnzo has got two buckles on her lungs!
It ls.drendful to think of, I declare. The disease
is so various! one way wo hear of people’s dying
of hermitage of the lungs, another way of the
brown creatures; here they tell us of the elemen
tary canal being out of order, and there about
tonsorsof the throat; here wo hear of neurology
in the head, there of an embargo; one side of us
we hear of men being killed by getting t pound
tough beef in the sareofugus, and there another
kil!s himself by discovering his jocular vein.
Thin s change so, that I declare l f don’t knowhow
to subscribe for any disease now-a-days. New
nature and new nostrils takes the place ofthe old,
and I might tts/veil throw my old herb bag away.

Important Inventions.— The Scientific Ameri
cun iifibrds us the following interesting intelligence
iu volution to recent mid important inventions.bv
a couple of enterprising and ingenious citiiens of
South Carolina:
Liobt.mkg Photecios rou TunnoßAKis.—H. C.
Turner, of Clioraw, Smith Carolina, hat taken
measures to secure a patent for an improvement
in telegraph apparatus to protect the magnet of a
telegraph instrument from being destroy ed or iu
jnred by lightning, as well ns to enable’telegraph
operators to coutiuuo at work during the preva
lence of atmospheric electricity, which of.en causes
great trouble and delay in the" Southern latitudes.
The principle of the improvement consist# in hav
ing a medium connected with the ground aud
tolegniph line, w hich will conduct electricity of
great intensity, bat not that of low intensity, as i
generated by the galvanic battery, thus carrying
ozf the atmospheric electricity without interrupting
the circuit
He employs two small braes cylinders, each of
which ha» a wire running from a connection screw
at the midd c, while tl c circuit wire runs through.
Each cylinder is separated at each end by a piece
of ivor'v, or other non-conducting .sub-Unce, and
the only communication with the ground is ob
tained by some partial conducting substance, snch
as ground charcoal. With this, each cylinder is
filled, thereiore an intense electric discharge, is
carried through this medium to the gronud, and
the magnet is protected. The invention is simple
and new to ns, and wc understand it has been
Used in the Telegraph office, a! Cberaw, for two
months, with eompieto success. It is conatracted
ou scientific principles.
Cotton Press.— A. SI. Glover, of 'Walte’-boro',
S. C., has invented an improvement in Cotton
Fre-'Cs, fer which he has taken measures to se
cure n patent. The nature of the improvement
consists in operating the follower bv means of a
rack and pinion, the rack beiug so adjusted to the
follower as to cause the pitch line of the cogs to be
as ucar as possible over the centre cf the bale,
whicb is to he pre-sea. A roller is employed in
connection therewith, it being placed at the lower
end of the follower, and the side opposite to that
on which the rack is attached. By this arrange
ment, a double rack is dispensed with, and the
follower made to descend vertically and press even
ly upon tne bale.
Psomscus Whipped bt a Young Ladt.— The
Cincinnati Nonpareil eays the following recently
occurred in that city:
A young and sprightly bean, who had been pay
ing his respects lor several weeks to a blooming
vdung miss in attendance at one of the female
Seminaries in this city, was politclv informed that
his visits and addresses would not be tolerated any
longer, that he must leave. The young lady also
received orders to avoid his company hereafter,
both parties were considerably incensed at the
conduct of the professor. On the following day
the sister of tho young gentleman armed herse.f
with two rattans, and the young gent, jirooeeded
to the Seminary, called for the principle, who ap
pearing, she drew her missives, snd commenced
lashing him very severely over the face and shoul
ders. He instantly made good bis retreat and
sent it another professor, who also received a
a similar chastisement, and retire 1 perfeetly satis
fied with all he experienced. The brother and
sister then left, and the rumor is now that the
joining of the two aforesaid will be an “ elopement
w high Jife.”
AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23, 1852.
OUR PICTURE GALLERY. •
PORTRAITS OF THE PEOPLE.
TOE PEDUB.
AV IK!).i TAX.7..
It was the afternoon of a bright beautiful day,
in tho depth of tha glad summer time; the sky was
all nnclonded blue, save where a white fleecy cloud
moved, swan-like, through the clear expanse—
“ E’en in lie very motion there was rest.”
The air was still and calm, and redolent with the
perfume of wild flowers, while from afar floated
the sound of tinkling sheep-bolls, and the watehfu
shepherd's call, amongst the distant hills.
On such an afternoon, wo say, a group of child
ren, a few hours dismissed from the irksome con
finement of the viliago school, held high revelry
within tho products of a newly-mown meadow.—
Some of tho elder sat in knots upon the soft turf,
talking with earnest faces of the events of the past
day—,-ome gathered the pule water plants that
grew by the river’s edge, and twined them into
garlands—some sported with the fragrant hay,
casting it around in heavy wreaths, then clapping
their hands, laughed with glue to mark their gay
companions shako its tangled masses from ofl' their
long hair.
Nor were these young things the sole occupants
of this sweet place; two there wore, who sat them
selves apart from all, deep within tue shadow of a
nook, snelterod by the overhanging branches of an
old hawthorn, whose snow-like bloom was faintly
blushing at the dectiv ils purity could not scare.—
One was a girl, just bidding a lingering farewell to
the sunny days of childhood—it- hopes, its confi
dence, its innocence of the future. You read that
it was so on tho open brow,“over which a gleam of
gentle thought, half sad, half he iven*!i!ie, had
stolen; in the full hard eyes, filling with tears,
even when the rioli ruby lips were radiant with
smiles; iu the very wave of the glossy auburn
hair, folded in many a heavy shining plait round
the comb tbut confined it; but more than all, you
read the first daw n of womanhood in the changing
colour that now flushed her cheek to crimson, and,
now fading, left it oi that delicate hue the sea shell
wears.
Her companion wq* a lad some few years older;
his form was slight, but firmly and nobly trained ;
his eyes dark, lustrous with tho tire of bright ex
pectancy ; while stamped in legible characters upon
every strongly marked feature, sat tho impress of a
stcrii intellect. lie hud been reading from the
pages of some old book that lay open on his knee,
when a beam of the purtiug sunlight suddenly fell
athwart the lines; he loosed up, looked upon tiie
gorgeous western clouds—upon the bosom of the
clear stream—upon tho fair face of his young com
panion, from whenco his gaze wandered no more,
but rested on her with an expression of unuttera
ble admiration. He was tho son of tho wealthiest
farmer iu the whole countryside; and sho, Moyra
Donuaven, was to be his bride on the morrow.
They hud grown np together side by side from
early childhood, ns two wild flowers fed by the like
dew, the like snulight, and shaken by the liko rude
wiuds; they had sat upon the same benoh at school,
learned from the same book, played truant at tho
same time, and hud drank deeply of the ever
springing well of mutual affection.
“ So, Moyra, darling," said the vonng man,
breaking silonce, ns he parted the hair fondly on
tho girl's forehead, ntd drew hercloserto his side:
“ and so, dear Moyra, hero we nro at last, seated in
tho old trysting place, with our troubles passed
over us, as" die big cloud from the sun’s face, all
onr people content, cud the prettiest cottage for
miles round to bring you to to-morrow. Now
nothing can coino between us and our happiness.”
“Nothing—no nothing, William,” replied the
girl, “ but death or change! Oh! a Icar has conic
over mo that we have done wrong. We havo come
together of our own strong passions, and—and if,
in years yet far away, yoa should ever learn to look
coldly ou your own Moyra, what could she do but
struggle and pray to die 1”
Bhe spoko with excitement, and the large tenrs
fell brightly on her flushed cheek.
“ Death and change, Mm ra! You wore not used
to feel and think thus sadly,” said her lover, bit
terly. “ Time was you would not have doubted
m* '~ ears it be that von regret yon have been con
stant, regret our stolen meetings benentb this very
treo, when we exchanged the severed ring, and
plighted a troth that never was to be broken}
Jlovra, I do not regret: I who have given r.p
much, who might have bedn ns great a gentleman
us the best of them, and have been bowed to, and
have had wealth, and boon called ‘ Your rever
ence," instead of plain William O’Brian, I do uot
regret. It is hard if after trying my mother’s love
soroly, braving my father's' anger, and bringing
black thoughts and cold looks where there was
nothing but kindness before, yen shotild fail mo
thus—giving nothing but tears, when i expected
smiles.”
“ Kegret, William—l do not regret fortnysclf; I
have too little in the world to love,” said Moyra, in
a gentle tone, that showed that she wa- accustomed
to her lover’s jealous reproaches. “But ldo feel
frightened when I remember all you say yourself
you have given up for ine. They lei! tno, too, that
1 have taken you from being God’s blessed servant;
that sin mav come on you, and sliamo and sorrow
on uic lor doing it."
“ They say, Moyra! Have I not taught yon
too much, and read to yon too much, to lot you
mind what they euy t and I would not be a priest
if ”
“ Hush, William! hush, dear William! You do
not know who was speaking to me since—who sat
as close to me as you aro now—you will laugh and
call me fcnlUh Moyra ; but 1 must tell you. 1 1 was
late last night, when you had gone about an hour.
I was sittingaloue in poor Gilbert’s crib, for be had
been restless, and I was Binging him to sleep,
when a low knock oamo to tl.e room door; it
opened quite slowly before I could speak or move,
end there was n woman, with a dark cloak wrapped
round her, so that 1 could not see her face, stand
ing on the ’hreshoid. 1 stood np and set a chair
for her, and asked her to come in.”
“ And she did come in, Moyra,” in'errnpted her
lover, with a laugh; “and she was the girl who is
to be your bridesmaid to-morrow; there, sec, tho
riddle’s read 1”
“She did come in, William, end sat down and
spoke to me, bat she was not who yon think. I
never saw her before, as I then thought, though
she knew me and talked of you, and told me it
was a bad thing I had dcae to take yon from God,
when you might have been his blessed servant;
for she’said 1 then tcae a lore of the red void in, your
heart that would so inq evil with it." This was not
all ; she took my handkerchief from round my
throat, put three knots ou it, then bade me hold
my hands close over it, end pray for the three
things 1 longed for most; if I got my wishes the
kuots would still be there; if otherwise, they
would be gone. I did wish; and one thing was,
that we should have a happy home together, for it
was the hope nearest my heart; and, William, will
you beliove it. when I opened my hands one knot
was gone—gone entirely! It is as true ns there is
a God iu heaven. I grew qnite weak when 1 saw
that it was so. and tho strange woman stood up,
bent over Gilbert in the bed, then walked out of
the room, and when I took courage and followed
her to the door and looked out, I err Id see a long
way down the bo res a. and over the fields, bni there
was no one there, nothing but the pale moonlight
the tall trees, and the sheep grazing quietly by the
river's side."
“ Nonsense, Moyra, it was some foolish girl,
trying to frighten yon; or yon were dreaming,
though yon did not know it—-what else could it
have been I”
He spoke fearlessly, but be shuddered as he did
so, and the blood crept coldly through bis veins.
“ I was not dreaming,” replied Moyra. quietlv
and sadly. “ I know now it was my mother’s
spirit, though the knowledge was not given to me
then. She came to warn her daughter from evil,
to watch that she was keeping her prorai-e to the
poor idiot boy, and not leaving him ueglected to
listen to sott’words from ”
“ Unsh now, Moyra. Is not Gilbert to live with
us? He shall hav his bod close beside yours still
—bis pets, or anything he wishes; believe me, you
make yourself too anxious about that child—and
you aro superstition*: it is your only fault, if in
deed it be one.”
And tke lover threw his arms around her, scold
ing, soothing, flattering by turns, til! the girl’*
tears became bright smiles, and she parted from
him when the evening wore on to the darker hours,
and there was naught save the pale moonshine to
witness their farewell. Certain, it could not be
sin to love so kind, so faithful a heart.
They were married on the morrow. Need we
ssy how rapidly—how like a snnr.y stream sued
away the first weeks and months of their dwelling
beneath the same roof tree! A few tears indeed
fell hrightlv from the young bride’* eye as slie
bade edieu'to the home of her infancy, as she ben'
on her old father’s shoulder and craved his parting
blessing—but then that home had often been one
of sadness and constraint —that parent, harsh,—
nay, even almost unkind; while her new cottage
was well-nigh clothed with the fair flushing bios
eoms of the Chinese rose, the ja-mine's stars, and
the woodbine's fairy crops of pnrfnme,snd he Who
welcomed her within it* threshold had given np
many a proud gift the world gives, for her sake ;
neve’r thought of Iter to reproach, never looked on
her face to frown. Moyra was ell too happy, trci 1
ing her hnmblc dwelling with the elastic step o:
woman's pride; culling the fair Cowers to deck the
latticed window-seat, singing to ths hum of hei
merry wheel, ss she eat at it more in sport than
from need; or hanging on her husband’s sren, she
strolled by the river’* edge, and sought their old
trysting-place, where, laughing gaily over tfct
trials of her esriv courtship, she looked eager!'
forward through the mists of the future with ah
the fearless confidence of the young in years ami
the hopeful in heart.
Nor weie these her only resources—she would
find deep pleasure in the storied page of history
or the light tale of fiction; for she bad imbibed t
store of knowledge and of mental culture no'
nsuaily enjoyed by the maidens of her doss ft on
constant converse' with her lover, who educated
as we before intimated, for tbe preisthood, anc
possessing a strength of intellect more than supe
nor to his fellows, had eagerly grasped at the in
struction afforded him by tbe eetholie pastor o
the village, a kind and good old man. who looker-,
on William O’Brian as his eon.
There was another, too—one we have hardly
epoken of as yet, who shared is tbe general happi-
i ness—shared iu it aa far as ids darkened sense
1 would permit—shared in it as far re free liberty to
rq im through fle’d andglen, to search out the wild
bird's nest, to gather bright flowant by lone hiding
places uukitonn tohim before, brought onjovment;
lie would wauder from room to room of tho cot
tage. cariouijy examining every unfamiliar thing,
but clapping his hands with glee to recognize his
own little crib with its snowy counterpane stand
ing amoust its strange companions.
This was Gilbert Donuaveu, the idiot brother of
llcvra.
_T.,at was a strange boy. In him the =weet light
of jiitelleet bad drowned in early childhood, tho
wild dark eye had shone with gentle meaning, the
bonudiug step kenned well the impulse that ac
tuated ; but suddenly a sad blight fell npon the
fair child, his cheek faded into paleness, his move
ments grew listless, his sunny smile lost the arcli
cunuingof its gladness, while, as days passed over,
tha change seemed to gather strength. There
were those who whispered that the boy was fairy
stricken : it was certain that tho physicians knew
no cure, and abandoned him to his fato. Bodily
illness wore off; he was abroad again amongst his
young playmates ; but the mental spark had for
ever fled 1 This was a "bittertrial to his parents, to
mark such gloomy doom encircle their hopeful
child, a trial that soured still further tho morose
temper of hi* father, and hronght his gentle mother
in sorrow to tlie grave. With her latest breath she
imposed the Guardianship of her idiot boy on
Moyra, extor'ing from tho girl a fearful oath to
watch over him with tenderost care, and to re
venge wrong wrought to him with a terrible re
venge, even though tho actor in it were the being
dearest to her bosom, it wa*a heavy charge for
one so young, and bitterly was it felt.
But why dwell amongst the clouds of tho past,
when the present is wreathed with smiles? Month
sped after month—the glad summer, like the shad
ing of some fair picture, lost its verdent freshness
in the golden hues of autum—winter succeeded
with its cold winds, its frozen lakes, ami streams;
the pure virgin snow clothed in its chaste embraces
bill and valley, f unt nnd dale; while still flowed
on rmchcqnored the blissful day* of happiness
within thehome ofthe newly-wed—tho wife as gay
as innocent; the husband as fond, ns mindful of
his Moyra’s wants and wishes. One thing indeed
had chnncod that brought a passing gloom within
their dwelling—tho death of William’s father; but
tlicn it was an event long expected—he was an old
man, with constitution broken by early habits of
hard labor, and temper soured by disease. Wil
liam never had been a favorite with him, and it
caused much surprise, much surmise, nnd even
some dark hints amongst tha neighbor* when, on
tlie will being opened, it was found be hnd be
queathed tlie greater portion of his property to
William, overlooking in some measure his eldest
SOB Mark, who had’over been regarded by the
humble inhabitants of the hamlet ns the heir, in
somuch that many a far-sighted leaseholder had
applied to him, duringthe old niun’s lifetime, for a
promise to continue the tenure under which they
enjoyed their little farms when he should become
master of the ground. Some bitter feelings and
harsh words had chanced betwixt tho brothers
on the occasion: but Moyra stepped in with her
every-readv smile and gentle winning kindness.
Who could be angry when she was near? Not
William, at least; so he hushed tho proud retort
and extonded tho hand of friendship to Mark.
But it is a little thing that sometimes converts
the lovo of years into tho bitterness of hate; an
idle word, n hash thought, tho lighting giancc of a
moment; the disappointed rarely forgive, aud tho
brothers never were the same to each other.
•Now it was that tho gay festival of tho annual
fais to bo held in nil adjacent village drew near; tlie
wished-for morning in the early spring dawned
brightly over the reviving earth, the hedges were
strewn with green buds, starry primrose peeped
forth from amidst clusters of withered leaves, the
daisy that never dies, that soul of ge> tie flowers,
borrowed a healthier bloom ; the bird* warbled a
wilder song; crowd* of gaily dressed peasant*
tilled the shaded lanes, matrons with the winter
stores for sale, maiden* to meet their lovers, child
ren an xions to spend tho longed-for pen uy—al were
or seemed happier( even tho idiot boy, Gilbert
Donnaven, ns he lav basking in the sun at the oot
tasy. door, wore an air of quicker intelligence ns tie
plat ed with his new scarlet belt, and smiled as
though lie knew tho day was not the same, or was
better than those that had preceded it.
“ Good morrow to you. Xlrs. O Brian ; tho top of
the mornin’to you, ma'am,” said Pnndgo Hunt,
an itinerant pedlar, who nsnnlly paid hi* annual
visit to tho hamlet on the fair-day, as he entered
the cottage of Movra O’Brian. “Good mornin’,
and God save all liere; sure it’s the first tune you
and I “tud on tho same flure since von took tho
cares ofthe world on vou. Xloyraaccu-hla, though
tna\ lie von"re for taking airs on yourself, and won’t

as fiiir as a lilv ; but you were always n pnrtv col
leen from a slip up. ‘And lmw's himself? has lie
turned crusty on you, that he's not at home wid
’ °Xloyra blushed, and smiled brightly, shook
hands kindly with her visitor, and set a chair for
him while sne answered, “ William went out to
tnko a stroll along the fields about half an hour
ago—he has grown a groat faimer since the old
man died—hut ho will bo homo soon, I hope-”
nnd the wi-tful glance she cast overthe meadland*
without showed how truly she spoke.
“ You'll be wanting something in my way now, I
suppose, ofepurre,” said the pedlar, slitiL'ing hi*
pack from his shoulders, unfasten! g the cord that
bound it. und displaying n tempting pile of mus
lins, clear nnd tbiu a* cobweb; a variety of rib
bon* nnd printed ealieoos, together with a number
of gaily-coloured toy*.
Yes I must have this for Gilbert,” said Moyra,
selecting a green and scarlet plaything, well known
amongst children as a “com crenh,” from tho glit
tering heap; “he will, poor fellow, he delighted
with its noise. Gome hither, Gibbv, man, ’ she
called, and the idiot was by her side iji an instant.
lii* eve brightened, and his cheek flushed, as ho
extended his thin wasted hand to receive the gift;
but suddenly his glance fell npon the figure ofthe
pedlar, nnd uttering a sharp cry of mingled fear
and anger, he dung to his sister, biding lit* face in
the fold* of her dress.
“Ho does not remember you, Fanrtge, sa;d Moy
m. apologetically, “ aud he is always otriad of
-•ranger*; Look up Gillbcrt, darting, see tho pret
ty thing he ha* brought you;” and she gently
touched the toy, so ns to tnrn it on its little pivot.
As the noise struck upon Gilbert’s oar, lie slowly
raised hi* head, looked curiously at the plaything,
then enatebing it, twisted it round and round, as,
leaping and clipping hi*hand* with wild glee,
he exclaimed, “It i* alive, it i* speaking; you j
shall not take it from me. May I have it to sleep ]
with me, Movra, mid walk with mo, aud liaten to j
the sunbeams whispering, ns I do —shan't it, Moy
ra i ’ and ha looked coaxing’.y ia hi* sister's face.
“Yes, Gilhert, ves,” replied Moyra. with a half
•i-h; “but von mu-tshake hands with Pandee, it
was ha that brought it;”— and taking tha idiot’s
hand, she placed it in that of the pedlar. _
“ You’re a fine fellow, after ah,” said Hunt, kind
ly. “ and here’* a nice bit ot gou’.d lace to dress it
wid. jee now, sure that looks grand entirely;”—
and he stroked the soft silken hair that curled
richlv over the temples of tho boy, who gazed for
a moment earnestly in the stranger’s face, then
seated himself quietlv on the ground at his feet,
forgetting hi* fears, everything but the delight of
his new found “ live speaking tiling, a* he c&licd
the tov.
“And now, Xlrs. 0 Brian, my darlmt, won t yon
give me vonr handsel in the way of buying a new
ribbon, or tholi'-o,” said Pandge; “sure a young
liou-e-keeper must want a piece ot good linen, and
here'* the fluent and white-t that iver wa* sould
ou tlie town's land, I’ll be bound; dear, dear, but
it does take the shine.” ...
Moyra miw’-c some triflinsr pnreha:**?, ana there is no
telling to what extravagance she might have been
tempted, had not her eye fallen upon the return
ing f.rm of her husband: and *ho oonld think of
nothing else, poor thing, loving as woman only
loves, she had set up an idol in her heart.
William greeted Pandge kindly, kt-aed hi* young
wife, and then they all three breakfasted together,
the idiot bov sitting ou the pedlar's knee, *o com
pletely had he forgotten bis tears. The meal over,
Movra took her -cloak and bonnet, saying she
would “go visit her father. The old man led a
lonely life • it wa* long since she bad seen him,
and she did not care for the fair now, if Paudge
would take Gilbert to it, and William (who had
busine-s taere later iu the day) coaid bring him
home.” „ , ...
It wa* a matter easily nrsanged, and Moyra went
forth with light step* aud * lighter heart on her
dutiful errand, wbi'e tho pedlar and Gilbert hast
ened toward* the distant village, both anxion* to
join in the gav festival—the one with the hope* of
a productive truffle, the other other pining to see
all the beautiful things hi* companion told him of,
in word* that arrested f>r a season, eveu the way

»***••*
It was the late evening hour; a heavy mist was
falhng fast, clothing every object in darkness,
while a cold wind had sprang up, which whistled
through the yet !e .fie»s branches of the trees, and
forced Moyra O'Brien to draw he.- mantle closer
around her person, ns she hastened homewards,
filled with bright, happy teasings. Oh! it was a
joyous thing, yet sad, to contrast the cheerless
dwelling of the solitary morose old man shß wa*«
leaving far in the distance, with her own lightsome
cottage—its latticed windows embowered in flow
ers, its neat rooms, with their pretty decorations
and. above ali, the fond heart that beat beneath its
roof so truly in unison with her own. These were
sweet thoughts; and Moyra deemed that time and
space had flown strange, out pleasantly, when, the
dark bog, the gloomy borcea past, she" again stood
by her own threshold, and, turning the"latch-key
m the door._ found herself at home and alone—
alone, for William and Gilbert hud uot yet return
ed ;even the servant shared in the general holiday
nd was absent.
The little chamber looked deserted and cheer
less ; the fire bad suuk low in the grate, a few red
sparks onlv remaining of the ruddy blaze that had
ah«hcd so brightly iu tbe morning on the wall and
ceiling; ths chairs lay in d border, and Moyra’s feet
grew entangled in a garland of wild flowers—it
w.is Gi bert's work" au-hp, so stooping sho gatli
ereduup, and pi cod it carefully aside—“ The
boy might remember and ask for it again, and feel
sad if it were not there.”
A deep sens* of loneliness now crept over the
young wife, her heart beat heavily within her bo
som, and tears, she scarce knew why, trembled in
her eyes, as she devontly crossed herself and offer
ed a prayer for William’s safety.
“ V et what ill could have befallen him ?” she ar
gued with her fears ; “ ho was not wont to take
part in idle brawl or faction fight; he had .but loi
tered at the fair, and would be with her soon ; and
rising from the chair a feeling of sick terror had
forced her to take, sho hastened to anangethe fur
niture, rekindle the tire, and spread a suowy cloth
tor their evening meal. •
All this complete, she again seated nerself to
await, with what patience she could command, hei
husband’s return. An hourpassed uwuy; another
and another, yet still he carao not; the night wax
ed darker, the wind wilder, and the sharp sleet
beutfiu her face as, iu redoubted anxiety, Moyra
stood at the door, listening eagerly for some sound
that might donote the presence of human life:
there was naught to disturb the dread quiet, save
the moan of tho storm, as it raved ami rushed
along the ground, the wuve of the tall reeds by the
river s side, or the soicam of the owl us it flittqdl"
and fro. Tho young wife’s terror grew now al
most insupportable, as site leant, pale and trembling
against tnc door sill, when, suddenly there came
the sound she had so longed for—a sound of life.
A trampling of many feet, a murmur of voices, all
speaking earnestly—she sprang forward, there wa
it dense crowd moving on; nearer, nearer—there
were ths forma of men and women, mingled in a
confused mass; she could see their faces gleaming
in the red light of torches; alas! there was fear
und horror ou overy brow, uud they bore a dark
figure that lay molionlc.-ts, death-like, amongst
them. It was enough—the earth reeled, the ob
jects around rocked and swajed, the breeze rolled
like thunder, the blood tingled faintly n her veins,
and, with a wild cry, the poor girl "fed senseless
where she stood!
The long night had worn on to morning ero that
deep,death-like swoon had passed uwuy, ere return
ing consciousness dawned upon Movra’s mind;
and, opening her eyes, sho glanced faintly round.
They had laid liar on her own bed; each object
wn* familiar; the mirror, even tbingwas tlio same,
and yet she felt a couf tsed feeling, as though all
were strange. Where wu*she? what had happen
ed ?—and she raised herself ou her arm. A voting
girl, who had served her since her marriage, now
advanced from out of the shadow of • dark corner,
w here sho had been keeping her silent watch, ex
claiming in a joyous tone, “Lord, ma'am, I’m so
glad, master will be so glad to see you up again.—
Dear, dear, what a turn you took; but it's no won
der, sure it was tho poor sight 1 Well now, won't
yon. darlint, keep quiet-like till I go and tell him
self, for lie’s hraldn'j the heart iu his body about
you; sure I’ll not bo from you u twinklinand
thus saving, she passed hastily from the room.
“ William, dear William, ho ideate then!” mur
mured Mover, faintly, us the reoollection of all she
had scon.flashed upon her mind, and a warm glow
of hopeful thankfulness sent the rich colour book
to her pale cheek.
But suddenly a confused mingling of voice* met
her car, proooeding from tho little kitchen: and.'
springing from her bed, she hastened towards the
door, it lay partly open, a crowd of persons were
assembled there, all looking in one direotiou; she
followed eagerly with her eye; there was something
white, sho could not see distinctly, there was a
mist floating bofore her—it cleared nway ; alas!
were those death ligth* that were gluncing ou thnt
narrow bed i was that pale, distorted face, rigid
form, and clenched lianas those of Gilbert ?
Yes, the idiot was dead! They had found
him lying beneath the waters of a lonely stream,
murdered—there was no doubt it was so, for there
was a gaping wound upon his forehead, a mark as
of a struggle on the damp grass, and a knobbed
stick, stain with blood, lay upon a bank hard bv.
Yes, the young in years, the durkoned in mind,
the harmless, lie so full of life in tho early morn
ing, was as a clod of tho valley ere tho sun ofanother
day had risen, with the flowers his own hand had
wreathed garlnnding his pale brow 1 Moyra would
have screamed, but there was a choking sensa
tion in her tlirout, her head reeled, and slio sank
again insensible, as her husban’a arms opened to
receive her.
Tho murder of Gilbert Donnovan wilt be long
remembered in tbe district where it occurred.—
The youth of the boy, hie imperfect intellect, the
strange circumstance that one of his harmless na
ture should have given offenco so deep as to cull
forth tbe vengeance of the assassin—all excited in
tense horror, strong indignation, and powerful in
terest amongst every class of society. Soon arose
tho question, who was the murderer? Who could
have hud cause sufficient to 'wish his death, or
di-like so strong to his person, as to stain their
souls with so foul a crime ? Conjecture followed
conjecture, and it was not long ere the finger cf
suspicion pointed towards Puudgc Hunt, the ped
lar,,as tho guilty individual. He was known to
have loft the cottage of William O'Brian in compa
ny with tiie boy, who had been seen last in life to
gether with him on the very spot where tho body
was afterwards discovered—a lonely little inlet in
the river, where stood the mins of an old mill, long
years in disuse.
This suspicion was at first breathed amongst
friends, then the murmur grew louder, • enchod the
magistrate's cur; the police were nut on the alert,
and mere surmise was heightened almost to cer
tainty, wh T), on limit’s urrest, liis pack was
searched, and in it discovered the belt worn by
the idiot, together with the toy Moyra had pur
chased, ilistinguised from the others of ils kind
by the shred of gold lace, which still hung to it.
On further examination, tiie stick found on the
place of mnrdcf was seen to bo marked with the
initial letters “P. H.,” rudely curved. It was fuirly
a case of circumstantial evidence, and the pedlar
was fully commuted to stand his trial.
Never was the little court-house ot K— so
crowded as on the morning of that trial. Poor
and rich, the idle and the industrious, the grey
bend and tiie child of tender years, all flocked to
see how the prisoner would endure the presence
of his fellow-men, laden, as he was, with the
stain of so tout a crime. Some said he would never
sta\d u trial, but would at ouce plead guilty; others,
who had studied human nature, declared the love
of life was strong—the pedlar was a young man,
bad friends to love and leave, and moreover the
punishment was terrible!” But on one point
there was no .dissenting voice: all agreed he wus
tbe guilty pereon.
Aiid now it was astrange thing to watch the face
of tiie accused, as with trembling frame and eves,
seeking in vain after the light of hone, he stood
the gaze of numbers whose hospitality lie had
shared, at whose firesides lie had bandied the gray
jest, whose young ones lie had dandled on his
Knees, fixed "on him witn loathsome horror. It
was a hard task to mark tho brow of judge and
jury bend on him with a heavier gloom as the
counsel for tiie crown advanced, and dwelt on tbe
sum of important evidence, with a force and con
viction that might have mado a very innocent man
doubt himself into guilt; it was hard to hear, to
feel as though blow after blow were falling on tiie
chain of life, as hi* own wioklv defence was
brought forward—and iu what did it consist ? A
mere statement, without proof, that the boy bad
wearied of Ids society, anu had parted from him,
taking the way ovor the fields back to hi* own
home, and that be (tbe pedlar) had passed on and
seen him no more: as to the belt and toy, the idiot
hud thrust them himself into the pack when the
novelty of possession was over: and the stick
Hunt had lost on his way to the lair. It was but
an ill supported case, ana yet, in the bands of the
the able lawyer who undertook to argue it, there
were moments when it seemed to bid fair for sno
ecss. The hopes of the prisoner brightened as lie
listened—be turned his pale lace upwurde, braved
the cold looks of hate and sooni that were fixed on
him, unheeding everything save that life wus in
the balance.
Oh 1 it wusan awful sight to glance round tiie
bare walls of that little court bouse—to mark the
flushed faces, all directed towards the dock—the
calm, rigid countenance of the judge—the motion
less forms of the twelve men who were about to
decide the frightful question of life or death I—but,
above all, it was awful to ghmee from earth, from
th* single culprit, from the human judge, from the
house made with hands, up to the blue dome of
the eternal heavens—that pure court, where all
alike are sin-stained iu the view of hiui who sits
upon tiie judgment scat, and think is there as little
mercy to be found as here is exteuded to the er
ring?*
The counsel for the defence ceased, committed
hi* client to tiie justice of liis countrymen, and **t
down. Thejnry retired, the hearts of many grew
still within them—the accused bowed his bead '
upon his boeotr.. A few minutes passed over, a
very few, and then the box was filled again with
faces. Thank God, he was safe, there was not a
shade upon tiioir brows. Tiie prisoner felt that
they were giving in their decision—he raised his
elapsed hands in supplication. The judge drew
on the black cap, and the fatal sentence of death!—
death within three days—rang through tbe court,as
the prisoner fell to the cold earth, with a quivering
erv of “ Mercy, mercy 1 life, life I” and was borne
from the sight of men, to awake to a dread cen
scloasuess of his doomed existence within the
dreary preeint* of the condemned cell 1
It wa- on the night preceding the morning fixed
on for the exec ution of the i*dlar, that the good
old priest, who had superintended the education of
William O'Brian, sat alone in his little parlour,
rather in sad mood; for be had but jmd returned
from the unfortunate convict’* cell, where he had
spent hour after hoar in useless exhortation with
the wretched being, to confess his heavy sin, and
not to rush before his God with the additional
stain of falsehood on his soul.
“ I die ranoeent, as God’s above me 1” was the
only answer he received to every argument.
In vain he urged how futile, how worse than
futile was the denial; in vain he worked npon hi*
superstition, with the recital of all the gloomy hor
ror* of the lgnominon*, impenitent death the
morrow would aee him Buffer; in rain he praved
h j™ eT ? n , w ' th to eDtable him to rey,
like wooL"' 1 B:n,beM «*riet, they shall be white,
The cry of the doomed man was still, “ I die in
pooent, a* God’* above me; I die innocent 1” and
ate priest left him, shuddering to think a thul wua
should be so hardened in his sin.
“There is one wantin’ to see ybur rivcrance iu
great haste, *ir, if you please,” said the old servant
who had lived in the gbod father’s family since a
girl, as she threw open the parlour door, unceremo
niously pushing in before her the slight form of a
female, wrapped in a gray rug cloak, the hood ot
which wa* drawn, so a* to conceal her fhvo from
jbservation. “She wouldn't be gaiusayed, your
rivcrance, but must see you thi* minute, or niver
that’s the word; troth, sure, it’s little time you
get to yourself, christianizing tlie whole parish, and
can’t do it after al!with u few more angry grum
blings, the spoiled domestic withdrew, leaving the
intruder alone with tho priest.
For a few moments the young woman remained
motionless and silent; then, rushing forward, she
threw herself at his feet, oast back the muffling that
dmded her features, ami exclaimed, “Father, the
guilty would confess—the miserable would seek ad
rice and cousolntiton at your hands.”
The priest bent forward, gazing ; n surprise on
the form of the suppliant; and then said, in a
soothing tone, “I* it possible ? Moyra, my poor
child, what excites you thus? Surely you should
iot be from home at such a time, utter "illness, too;
and your hand still burns with fever.”
“Oh I that 1 were dead! Oh! that the world
had never been for me !” replied the girl iu a harsh,
-harp voice of agony. “Oh! that I hnd been
•'lasted by the lightning of heaven oil that dread
ful night 1 Father is there aught can wino ont the
-‘tain of blood ? (Juu a murderer stand before liis
God aud live ? Sav yes, say ves, and 1 will bless
vou ! But stay, I lin’vo not" time to listen ; every
uimite is worth worlds. Bend down your head
closer, closer still. Can tho dead kt'-ow what
asses upon eartli f Could they kuow when a vow
was broken ? Could they curse you with their
white lips?”
“Ilustil Movra; you rave, poor child. A vow
mce given is biuding. I have often told you so.
But why should you ask?”
“Father you stood by my mother’* bed of death;
you heard myoath then given to her, to watch over
dm—you know who. 1 cannot speak his uume; il
•vould buru m v guilty lips. Yon heard me promise
'-<* revenge wrong wrought to that boy with a terri
)le revenge, eveu though tho actor were the being
learc»t to my bosom. Whisper! Hush !is there
no ono near. Father, I know who is the murder
*r; 1 know it from his own mouth, cud yot I never
told it.”
“Tltoro was no need, daughter; tho world know*
it. He pays tho last awful penalty of his crime to
morrow. You would not follow him with venge
ance beyond the grave. Moyra, Moyra, he is a fel
low-boing, and God sees us all guilty in small
things, if notin great." As the priest"*pokc, tho
oloek struck the hour of midnight.
“Ala*! alas!” exclaimed Moyra, clasping her
hand* convulsively. “In a few short hour* it will
be too late: give me strength to go through my
dreadful task. Father, last night I looked upon
-ny mother’s spirit. 1 saw her once belore, on the
evening before my marriage-day, and this last time
-he claimed my vow. Father,' 1 come to fulfil it,
Paudge Hunt, tho convicted man, is innocent!”
She gasped for breath, and then added, in a tone
so low that tho priost had to bend hia oar close to
icr mouth to listen, “Tho real murderer is my hus
band, William O’Brian; aud the lone of the reel gold
in his heart was the cause <\f it /"
“You rave, girl,” said the priest, in a stifled
voice: “the boy was penniless!”
“True, father, but there was a will. Yon re
memborthoold man’s death, nnd how he loft proper
ty to ray husband. William forged that will, though
t did not know it then; forged it for the sake
of a few ao-ea of green land. You will think that
had littlo to say to the poor boy’s murder, vet it had.
On the fair-day, when we were all gone forth, and
the guilty man wa* alone, he took out the real will
from its nidiog-pluce, intending to burn it, and ho
tirust it with hia heel into the fire, but it fell out
again, uninjured. lie then stooped to gather it up,
.nd a* lie did so, the door opened, nnd one stood
upon the threshold. It was the idiot boy returned;
for he had grown weary, as the pedlar truly said.
The broad rod leal U|«mt!ie paper caught hia rest
ess eye, aud he craved it of william, who refused
t roughly. Poor Gilbert, was ever obstinate when
rhwarted,and with a sudden bound he snatched.
■ he document, aud fled. William pursued and over
took the boy as he neared the ruins ofthe old mill,
ile fondled, and soothed, und tried to while the
treasure from his grasp; far oh! William is not
cruel by nature; butallwasiu vain. Gilbertstrug
g’od and screamed. 1 know not then what ohanc
ed: the man’s passion* were up. Tho victim
stood by the river’s edge—a slight pu-h, and tho
broad bosom of the stream received him; once he
rose, wildly tossing his urms to the surface—a stick
lay near—tho murderersnatchcd it, struck a heavy
blow, and tho next moment the idiot’s dead face
glared upon him through the still waters!”
It was a fearful tule, and the cheek of the oon
fessor grew pale it* thuLpf tho penitent, while he
listened; yet, at that time of. deep horror, the
good man did not forget his master’s mission, but,
taring hi* hand on the young wife's head, he blcss
ou her, nud prayed to God to strengthen her; but
his words fell upon an *ur heedless as that of the
dead.
Tho sun was breaking beautifully over the moun
tain tops, the herbs and aparkling in
the fresh morning dew, the bird* were pouring
forth their glad songs, and many a lightsome-heart
ed child was abroad, sporting amongst the green
meadland*. There wa* joy—tea, positive joy—
within the condemned cell of R jail. An aged
priost was kneeling by a penitent’s side—by the
ride of one restored from the jaws of tlie grave to
life; of one from whose soul had been raised the
burthen of unmeritod ignominy. The ponderous
doors of the same jail were opening wide, to re
ceive a sad group. A man young m years, with
slight but Arm and elastic frame nmrohed between
two armed offioers of justice, casting, a* he passed,
a look of long larowell on the fair bltto sky, the
towering mountains, the far off pluins he might
never gaze ou more. Ciose after him followed a fe
male, rich in youth, in loveliness, in woman’s last
ing affeotion. Tho one was never to leave these
gloomy prison walls, save to suffor a bitter death;
the other was to go forth to tread her weary way
alone through the world, in pain and sadness.
Need we give them a name, and need v.-e say it waa
William O’Brian and the gentle solf-sacrifioiug
Moyra?
On a lonely common, miles from the soence of
the present tale, stood, some years ago, a little
sohool house. It was a glad resort for all the young
sters ronnd; for she who tended itwtma fair and
gentle being, finding happiness only in bringing
the sunshine of existence within the hearts of those
who sought her care. Her tale all know was a sad
one, for her hair was gray, lmt not from age—her
brow wna clouded with uu abidingsadness, aud her
tears flowed from no present cause. Iler’s was a
sweet code of moral culture—of book learning she
seldom spoke ; but, when a dark muss of vapour
would sail athwart the summer sky, she would call
the pupil to her side, and, pointing it out, would
bid them mark the chill that fell npon all us it
passed by; and ye, dear children, she would say,
“That heavy cloud is born of the glistoning dew
drops you shake from,out the wild flower's cup
when you gather it ruddy from tho stem; thus it
is with our slightest sins, they grow and gather
strength, wo know-not how. Ohsearch your
hearts, then, that they arc pur* ere it he too late.”
Thus she lived amongst the villagers for a season,
like a sweet angel sent to minister to their wants,
till one morning when the- little onos, according to
custom, crowded to receivo instruction from ner
hands, they found her seated iu her wonted chair
by the open window—but her head was drooped—
they raised it, a bright smile had settled upon her
lips, and she wa* dead. They laid her in a retired
spot, in a sequestered grave yard, burying with her
a severed ring she had ever worn round hor neck,
and erecting a simple tombstone to her memory, on
which was this inscription:—“To Moyra O’Brian.”
The Woxdb or Sons*.— The majority of the stan
zas arc little above mere rhyme, and we involunta
rily smile as we think of “music" wedded to “ im
mortal verse.” Any oue wliocan put “ heart” aud
“part” into measured length, alternate with ‘ love”
aud “prove,” seems competent to write a “song,”
aud forthwith an unlimited quantity of rubbish is
printed. We find “love” dreadfully overdone;
the vow-’ professions and regrets, in serenade
and tender b illads, ure far beyond the texture that
“ washes aud wears.” Here is a random speci
men—
Oh, look from thy lattice, my lady love, look—
The moou’s oa the- bill, there Is light on the brook,
But the sky and the water are darkness to me,
While I see not the night-star that rises In thee.
Don’t let any confiding heart be deceived by such
declaration*; tak s our word for it, that Cupid is
an impudent, hearty, breud-und-butter eating little
boy when lie is at home, aud won't put up with
glow-worms aud dew-drops for supper—not a bik
of it! W ithin a short period the übove devotion
would change to this—
Don't sit ap far me, Eophy, I’m going to meet
Two or three pleasant fellows, to Arundel street;
And as ’tls uncertain how late it may be,
Why, perhaps 1 had better come in with the key.
Here’s another protestiou from a lady—
I love thy broad and noble brow,
I love tby raven hair,
And never, neror sh .lt thou miss
Thy faithful Mary's care.
Don’t believe it young man; be fully prepared to
miss a shirt button now aud then, and don't con
sider yourself unnaturally wronged if you hear
something in this strain—
'Tls true I m ide the sky-blue stock
You now have round your throat;
But ta for this, I won't indeed,—

The I instill an and tiie Deacon.— A sow months
ago, ns Deacon Ingalls, of Swumpseot, R. L, was
traveling through the western part of tho Stated
New York, he fell in with an Irishman who had
lately arrived iu this country, and who was in
quest of a brother tlmt came oil before him and ret
tied in some ofthe diggings in that vicinity.
I’at wa* a strong athletic mult; a true C’utholii
and had never seen the interior of a Protestant
church. It waa a pieasaut Sabbath morning that
brother Ingalls met Put, who inquired for tho road
that was ngnrest to the church.
Ingalls was a good pions man. Ho told Pat lie
was going to church himself, and invited his now
made acquaintance to accompany him thither, his
place of destination being a small Methodist meet
ing-house near by. There was u great revival there
at thut time,undone ofthe dcueons (who, bv the
wav, wna very small in stuture,) invited brother 1.
to take a seat in his pew. He accepted the invi
tation and walked in, followed hv Pat, who looked
in vain to find the altur, &c. Alter ho wus seated
ho turned to brother 1. and in a whisper which
could be heard all around, inquired—
“ Sure, and isn’t this a heretic church ?”
“Hush!” said Ingalls, “ifyou speak a loud word
they will put you out.”
“Divil a word will I spouk at all at all," replied
Tho meeting was openod with a prayer by the
pastor. Pat was eyeing him very closely, when
suddenly an old gentleman who was standing in
the pew directly in front of Put, shouted “glory.”
“His st, ye clear divil,” rejoined Put with his loud
whisper which was heard by the minister,“be de
cent and don’t make a blackguard ofyourself."
The parsuti grew more and more fervent in th:
devotions, rrcsentlythe Deacon uttered an inau
dible groun. “Hia-st,yo blackguard, huve yo m
dueenoy at all at all ?”said Put, ut the »atne moment
giving the deacon a pnuch in the ribs, which caus
ed him nearly to loose his eqttilbrinin. The minister
stopped, and extending Ins hutidin u supplicating
manner, said, “Brethren, we cautiot he disturbed
in this way, will’ some one be kind enough to pui
him out ?”
“Yes, yqnrriverence,” shouted Pat, “I will.”
And suiting the octiou to the word, he collared
the doncon and to the utter horror and astonish
ment of th* pastor, brother Ingalls, and tho whole
congregation dragged him through the aisle, and
with a tremendous kick a posteriori, as the logicum
say, he landed him in the vestibule ofthe church.
A Perilous Ride. —Yesterday afternoon Miss
Maaou, sister of J. W. Mason of this city, was sit
ting in a buggy carriage near the burying ground
iu Cambridge street, a gentleman who was witii
hor having temporarily loft her, when the horse
suddenly startod. Miss Muson grasped the reins,
and, ills supposed, in her haste, palled one only,
whioh caused the horse to wheel round and sturt
off towards Boston at full speed. Miss Muson cried
oat for some ono to stop the horse, and at length
attempted to jump out, but at tho moment of Itet
leitp, some part other dress caught in the carriage
and suspended her with hor head resting on the
axle betwson one of tho fore wheels nnd tho vehiolo,
and her feet duDgling near tho grouud, anil at
times dragging over the surface. In this position
site was carried nearly a mile, the horse going at u
rapid rate. About half way acrona the bridge, a
foot passenger jumped overthe railing, und man
aged to stop tho horse. Those who from a dis
tance witnessed the approach of tho horse, suppos
ed that a buffalo robe was hanging from the chaise.
R. H. Dana, Esq., who happened to bo nnssing,
rosoned tho lady from her fearful position bui
found it u eessary to use a knife to cut the dres
to enable thorn to disengage her.
She was perfectly senseless; hor shoes wore gone

I have, sir, with othcre, stepped beyond the
bounds and dominion of fas Mon—that remorseless
tyrant who rules more subjects than any ten ol
earth’s mightiest kings—and oh I what a crime it
is, in the eyes of some superlative modest folks 1 —
Well, sir, is there really anything immodest inn
pair of pants und a short dress f if there is, then
your sex must be immodest beyond degree. The
truth is, the immodesty is ull in the imagination
and not in the dress. When I hear a man or wo
man making “gratuitous remarks,” I mark him 01
her, as the case may be, as possessing u corrup
mind, and an impure imagination. We have
adopted the “ Bloomer ” because we do not lik<
to curry from morning till night, suspended from
our waist, from two to four pounds of cottou, anti
a halt a bolt ot calico, which we have to IH't at overt
step we tuke—it is a burden too grievous to In
borne.
If, os yon soy, “ the long dreas and four ponnd
pctticoutis productive of utuoh sickness und death,”
why don’t you come out and be our champion, and
advocate the universal adoption of the “ Bloomei
(Jostumo ?” Remember, “ consistency is a jewel 1”
You think it “dispenses with rutlier too mucl
clothing iu cold weather,” this only proves that
you gentlemen know nothing about the matter. Jn
cold, wet weather, 1 wear uudor my pants two pair
of drawers, u cotton and flannel pair, which muke
me more comfortablo than any long dress open ui
the bottom possibly could. You think ulso, tliui
“ the fashion might be changed by degrees, with
out causing any gratuitous remarks.” Permit me
to say, sir, we think you are at least twenty yeur
beliihd the times ; it lias been demonstrated h ng

worse than to cut it otf ull ut once.

defect in all previous inventions, or wuy should
new patents be taken out if the old ones were
perfect in accomplishing the purpose intended 1
As this is un Important subject, we like to pre
sent all the information wo can on it; knowing
how many engineers und owners of stoain en
gines arc aiming our subscribers. Tbo following
is the specification of a paiout recently grained
to John Ashworth, of Bristol, ngluud, for which
we are ind-bted to our worthy conlcinporury,
Newton’s London Repertory of ihvemlons:
Tho improved method of preventing and re
moving incrustations, which constitute this In
vention,, is applicable to the boilers of stationary,
locomotive, or murino steam engines, and to all
other steam generators iiabie to internal inemsta
ion. 'The Improvement consists iu tho nso of »
jonipoimd n>r preveming the dime or any other
substance wbioh tho water rnuy eontuin in solu
tion, (when fresh water is employed) or the sa-
Tme compound, such as sulphite of magnesia,
chloride of sodium. Sus, t (in murine boilers) from
forming un insoluble Incrustation and udlieringto
the interior of tho boiler, und for loosening und
removing such incrustation when ulrcudy formed.
The ingredients used in this preparation of the
compound or mixture, are coal-tar, linseed wuter,
plumbago or bluek lend, und Cuatile soap. The
compound is prepared by taking 88 gallons of
coal-tar, 21 gallons of linseed water, (prepared
by boiling iu wuter 14 lbs. of linseed, and strain- .
ing or removing the seeds and other extruneou*
matter,) 6 lbs. of plumbago or black lead, in a
pulverized state, and 8 ills, of Castile soup, und
oirring the whole well together, so us to intimate- ,
y combine tho same, and produco a compound of
creamy consistence. Although these are the in
gredients und proportions which ure preferred, yet
Tiey ure capable of slight modification ; tor in
stance, common soft or brown soap may be siib
tituted for the Castile soap; or the exact piopor
tions may be slightly vuried, without muterial’.y
itfecting tho notion of the com|iound. The mix
• ure or compound is introduced into tho w/uter in
the boiler, (after blowing otf the sicum,) through
tiis man-hole or other suitable inlet, ip. the propor
tion of übont ouo gallon, twioe a we-A for u thii ty
horso-pbwer boiler; —tho quantity being incroased
or deereased according to the capacity of the
aiid the fiverujie umonnt of iucru*tutinir
.rmtcrtHi contained by the water uncd therein. It m
Htuted that the filed of thin compound upon a new
Iroiier is to prev#t any serious amount of incrus
tation upon the interior of the boiler; as tho little
deposit which occurs is of a thin, brittle, porous,
md crumb mg nature, and can bo readily removed
rom tho bottom of the boiler, (on to which it falls)
by sweeping or otherwise. In old, iuern-ted
boilers, tiio tuition of the compound upon the in
crustation will, iu a short time, loosen and remove
tho saino.

must ho considerable. The water extended up at
this side of the crevasse for about two or throe
tniles, and two or ihrec plantations, which were
considered beyond tho danger »t inundation from
tiio breuk, are now flooded. Mr. Spear was still
