The Martyr of Scio.—By Mrs Sioovunky*
Bright summer breath'd in Scio. Gay she hung
Her coronul upon the olive houghs,
Flush'd the sweet clusters on the ripening vines,
And shook fresh fragruuce from the citron grovvt,
Till every breeze was satiute.
But the sous
Of that fair isle bore winter in their bou] ;
For, ’mid the temples of their ancestors,
And through the weeping mnstic-bowera their step
Was like the man, who hears the oppressor’s touts
In nature’s softest echo ; and the Turk,
In solmnn domination, mark’d the smoko
Curl from bis pipe around that min’d dome,
Whence rnightv Homer owed the listening world
Once to thefproud divan, with stately step,
A youth drew near. Surpiissin? beauty sat
Upon bis princely brow, and from bis cyo
A glance like lightning parted a* lie spoke,
“ Iliad a jewel. From my sire? it come,
In long transmission, and upon my soul
There was a bond to keep it for my sons.
’ Tis gone, and in its stead a f'ulse one shine*.
I ask for justice.”
Brandishing aloft
His scimetnr,the moslem cadi cried—
“ By Allah nnd his Prophet 1 guilt like this
Shall feel the avenging stroke. Bring forth the wreteh
Who robb’d thy casket.”
Then the appellant tore
The turban trom his brow, anil cast it down.
“ Lo ! tin* false jewel sen! nnd wouldst thou know
Whose friml exchanged if for mv precious gem ?
Thou art the man. My birthright was the faith
Of Jesus Christ, which thou (list steul away
With gloziug words. Take back thytinsel’d babits,
And let me sorrowing seek my Saviour’s field.
Tempted I was, and mndlv have I fallen.
Oh ! give ine buck my faith ?”
And there he stood,
The stately-born of Scio, in whose veins
Stirr’d the lii-li blood of Greece. There was a pause—
A haughty lifting up of Turkish brows—
In wonder nnd in scorn—a mutter’d tone,
Of wrath precursive, nnd a stern reply.
“ The faith of Osmvn, or the 9ubre-atroke—
Choose thee, vontig Greek."
Then rose his lofty form,
In all if* mnjecfv; nnd his deep voice
Rang out sonorous as a triumph-song:
“ Give back my faith."
A pale torch faintly gleam’d
Through niche and winnow of a lonely Church.
And there the wailing of a stilled dirge,
Ro«e sad at midnight hour. A corpse iras there—
And a young, beauteous creature, kneeling low,
In voicchs* d iet'. Her wealth of raven locks
Swep’t o’er the dead mail’s brow, as there she laid
The wither'd bridal crown; w hile every hope
That nt it* twining woke, and every joy
Young love in loud idolatry had nursed,
Perish’d that hour.
Feebly she raised n child,
And bade him kiss his father. But the hoy
Shrank buck in horror from the clotted blood,
And wildly clasped h.s bands with such n cry
Of piercing anguish, that each heart recoil’d
From his impassion’d woe.
But thpre was one
Unmoved—one whitc-hair’d, melancholy man—
Who stood in utter desolation forth,
Silent nnd -solemn, like some lonelv tower.
Yet in his fearless eve, them seem’d a spark
Of victor-glory, mid despair, to burn—

The Fisherman of the North Sea.
BV ROBKRT BURNS.
Shakspenre.
The sterile const of Scotlnnd possesses lew
ituntinns. which surpass, iri point of dreariness, !
te siitht of Dtinscansliy Castle. This massive I
ile of architecture, situated in a hturen plain, I
pon the extreme nnrlli-easterit point of the
ingdunt. exposed to the bleak bln-its of the North |
ua. in front, and the heavy drills of snow from
the mountains in the rear, offers but few induce
ments as a habitation of mankind. Nor does the
castle relieve the dreariness of the heath that sur
rounds it. A mass of frowning lowers amt battle
ments, half dilapidated, anil overgrown with moss
anil ivv. anil oil which a century lialii showered
its duskiness nnd decay, snog to by naught save
the bowling wind, the shrieking mew. or the mom
of the North sea, as it dashes against the rocky
shore, is a sight illy calculated to cltccr or enliven
the feelings of a spectator.
The last ravs of the setting sun were gtldinj
the dark stone’ towers, and lighting its gloomy
halls anil galleries, through the fretted casements,
when a person, attired in the finest garb of a lit.il-
r, mid followed by a brace of hounds, issued
urn the castle gale, and bent It is course listlessly
wards the shore There was the void of an uti-
rock, lie directed Ins attention lo the graceful
swoops of the sea bird, for"want of it more inter
esting anil engaging subject. Presently another
fp'iirr, whose apparel bespoke him a fisherman, ad
vanced, and touching the hunter, to apprise him
of his presence, he exclaimed, •• 10lion is dead.”
The voice was stern and tremulous, and the blue
eve of the young fisherman lightened his melan-
cinry features with a deep and troubled emotion ;
passed atvay, anil he stood calm and collect
ed. awaiting his companion’* reply.
The hunter started and grew slightly pale, as

R
Paul, these are harsh terms for thy lord, leige,
and master,' exclaimed the nobleman, visibly re
bilked; .hut your feelings are aroused, anil I for
give them as the workings o! a heated and min
imi imagination.’
Sir James,’ returned the fisherman, ‘I have had
id. stark, staring mail; but
I thank Gull. I have vet retained inv reason.’
• I acknowledge I iiave not lifted Tamorahly to
wards your sister.' resumed feir James, ‘hut I util,
I am willing lo make every reparation to you, and
vour old lather.
’ • Keparatidn!' exclaimed the fisherman, while
his eye glowed with indignaney; -what reparation
can restore mv sister's honoui ?—you Iiave mnr-
ncretl her—allied Iter name with a lout and hlast-
eit -reputation—sent her before iter (roll, disrobed
of her virgin purity—w ith tlie glow of shame up

Paul, I am master of the weapon, end could
spsttlry life at pleasure,' said the iicbleman, -go

hat- recovered your self-possession; recollect,
Pail, I am powerful and cat. revenge, but will for-

•Sir James.’ resumed the fisherman, coolly, ‘ I
am tot to he trifled with by a cold-hearted and un
principle villain. Draw, and defend yourself, or
by my God. I will run you through.’
' Then your blood he on your own head,' shout
ed the nobleman, unsheathing his rapier.
Roth plained their feet firmly upon the hard
earth, measured, and crossed their shining ra
piers; they were perfectly cool and collected, and
each parried and thrnsted with the nicest preci
sion ; for a long time, during which hut slight
scratches were indicted by either party, victory re
mained undecided ; but (hen, as Paul attempted a
lounge, his sword flmv high from his grasp: Sir
James had disarmed him ; the fisherman ofl’etcil
‘is heart lo the victor's weapon, but the nobleman
,u ocd proudly on his heel, exclaiming, - Young
mat. j j,j ve ,. uu y 0 ur life, and forgive you your in
sults.
It "ajioig |( lnt iiieht, when the fisherman re
turned to his wretched iiliode after his discomfi
ture ;/te had sought the wildest quartet of the sen
short, and there seating himself upon the rocks,
lie listened to the angry roar of the wave, as it
foamiti against 'lie beach, and the heaving of his
boson was quieted, his lips quivered no longer,
lor tlere was something in the wild and fearful
moat of the troubled deep, that allayed the storm
in Its bosom ; ideas dawned upon him there, that
seeded to mark his future destiny, and point out
a ivigbt star in the propeetive vista of his exis-
teme. Whatever his feelings and thoughts were
thj night, they seemed to have effected a com
pile revolution in the young fisherman's mind,
(oflie arose calm and unperturbed , and with a
d« p resolve upon his countenance, that seemed
tqiitrow a manly nobleness over Ins soul, he en-
lerd the gloomy ami sorrowful abode of the pov-
ery-stricken nnd heart broken father.
- Paul, Paul,’ exclaim, d the aged parent, who
hid been informed of his son's encounter with
tie nobleman, 'Inis not misery enough this day
fiilen upon our house, lint that you should add
,. .rc lo tile insupportable burthen, by insulting
vn, whose generosity affords us a shelter from
(lie storm. ?
•And whose villainy has brought disgrace up
on otir name ?' exclaimed the son. -O, father, it
is imbecility that prompts you to speak thus of
your child’s murderer. Can you sit.here and
chide nte for seeking revenge?'
* Bov.' interrupted the parent, sternly. * leave re
venge to heaven ; Sir James is a peer of the realm,
ami must not he insulted by a serf like thee; lie
has wronged nte deeply. I allow ; but it is not for
thy hands ;o iivenge that wrong.’
-Old man, from the linitom of my soul, I pity
your infatuation,' said the ton. ■ Peer of the
realm! anti duos that empty title, which must pass
away, like o.lter earthly tilings, privilege its wear
er lo scatter desolation and misery upon the
threshold ot the unfurl unite ? By heavens, did he
sit upon the throne, surrounded by all the ensigns
and pomp of immaculate royalty. I would act the
same. Sacrifice my life, my hopes, my all, fur
one moment of revenge !"
- Silence, millions hoy,' thundered the grey hair
ed parent, * or, if you cannot hush your treason, out
of my house, and speak i*. to the air.’
- Be il so. lather,' said Paul, arising and moving
towards the door, ‘ I would fain see my sister laid
in the earth, hut I will forego the sight at thy com
mand—may God grant thee health and happiness
— farewell.' And I It e young fisherman hurried
away, and was in a few moments lost in the dark
ness of the night.
• Paul,' shouted the old man. for there was love
in his bosom for the hoy, - Paul, nty sun, my dear
obedient sou, come hack ; I did not mean to hurt
thv feelings, and if I did, can you not forgive an
old heart-broken father, whose head is turned with
misfortune? Paul. Paul, come hack, or I will go
mail ?’ The old man paused, and the moan of the
restless North sea was the sole response to his
speech. -Paul!’ shunted he again, hut the same
human silence pervaded, as before, and the mis
erable old man sunk back exhausted, disconsolate,
and almost inanimate.
There is an interval of many years, before we
again introduce the young fislirrninn 10 our read
ers ; it is not necessary that lie should lie traced
through all the depressive and exhalting circum-
! stances, which attended his indefatigable struggles
j for distinction.
A country bail thrown o(T the yoke 'of Great
: Britnut : thither he hastened, animated by tile love
of lihetty and hatred of oppression. Ile ranged
himself in the ranks of the intrepid and hardy col- J
I onists; fought and bled with them: and in a few !
years, experienced a succession of honors, which |
i nothing but heroic valor, patriotic zeal, and the )
j respect and love of a mighty and generous nation j
I could have awarded him.

An old man stood upon the beach, watching with 1 c.—- ... nil,,, il,„ liiilo shrivelled.m, nnimsl 1 ever, bv *’ spotting" I
interest the proud barque that floated so gracefully
and gaiiaiitiy upon the water. * It is a vessel ol
the mighty people that repelled the soldiers of
| our king,’ mused the old man ; • they are a great
nation. They say there’s no distinction there he-
twixt the poor man and the rn h. anil a fisherman
is respected ami protected, as the master of a
i thousand pounds.’ Here his musings were hush
ed ; a boat was seen pulling from the ship, and
| heading towards the shore.
1 With awe anil respect, tile old man gazed upon
the strange people, as they stepped upon the
I beach—one of them, who appeared by jiis dress
! to lie (he superior officer, stood, and for a moment
confronted the old man, who shrunk from the deep
j gaze of his blue eye. • Do you not remember the
I child of ymfrowo flesh anil blood/' said the nfli-
I cer. - Father, do yon forget your truant Paul ?'
| The old man was sinpified. his eye foamed
over the figure of the handsome officer, and thou
his recollection was thrown back upon his way-
| ward liny.
I For a moment lie doubted his senses, and pas
sed liis hand across his brow, with a bewildered air
when excited, he said 1
‘ Ami I bless it, that it has given me the power
of revenging her, who sleeps the victim of your
treachery. Sir James, we must fight.’
‘Fight!’ echoed the nobleman, solemnly ; -is il
not belter Paul, that the past should be furgotten,
it can never be recalled, ami the death of either of
us would not assist the case a particle; many
years have fdleii over that transaction, and it
sleeps almost forgot; then why awaken the recol
lection of a circumstance, which will only serve
to call lonh painful feelings, without an attendant
to alleviate them.'
• Sir James,’ answered the officer, and his voice
seemed to heave I'rorn his inmost chest, • 1 have ex
perienced many vicissitudes of fortune since 1 fled
this shore, and encountered enough of the storms
and culms of life, lo ett'ace the remembrance of
many occurrences, but that one is deeply, too
deeply for my equanimity, engrafted here.’ As
he spake he placed his hand emphatically on his
breast, anti there was a moment of painful silence.
Heagnin resumed: - All mv struggles for distinc
tion have been instigated partially, that we might
meet oil an equality. When tve were both young
er we crussed weapons ; there was discrepancy,
then in our station; you were a peer of the
realm, heir to a princely name, and I, a poor de
spised fisherman; but time has effected a change
in iliat regard; you still retain yntir title and dis
tinction, and I have tlie honor to command in the
navy of ilit^ the thirteen States, comprising the
Republic of America—all objections are removed,
nnd if you are a man you cannot refuse the satis
faction I require.'
The nobleman was again about lo remonstrate,
but there was something in the expression of his
companion's countenance, that told him that it
tvns useless, and changing the subject lie said sup
pose t will not engage with you ?'
‘Then you will perish unresistingly,' answered
Paul.
• What if I ring for my attendants ?' said or ra
ther asked the nobleman, for lie gazed deeply in
the countenance of his companion, to mark the ef
fect of such an event."
-My followers guard the entrance,' answered
the officer calmly. Sir James suffered 11 is arm
to drop, and for a moment stood regarding Paul
with a gaze of stupefaction, hut quickly recover
ing himself, lie rushed to the table, and grasping
hia rapier, fiercely exclaimed, - then by my soul
you shall have what you so earnestly seek.'
The mariners stationed in the gallery, heard
the clash of steel, which ill a few moments was
succeeded by n heavy fall. In another moment
llieir officer opened the door, and stood belore j
the approach uf a stranger. He had a certain
waggish look, and on the whole 1 was satisfied
that he had seen travellers before, and IhNt, not
withstanding his youth, he knew perfectly wall
what he was about. He was armed with a long
stick, or pole, sharpened at one end, which ha
was very dexterously, but most unceremoniously,
thrusting into the hole whence proceeded the ter
rible growling that hud at first attracted my atten
tion.
• What have yciu, thy boy ?' enquired I, after
surveying him for a few moments
- A slick, if I know, retailed the urchin, turning
up as quizzical an eve as can he found in a thou
sand, and then giving the occupant of the htd* *
tremendous punch, which brought forth 1 growl
that made the wouds reverberate,
■And a pretty shnrpe one too, if l know,' re
sponded smiling. • Rut what have yon treed?’
-1 have a ’possum holtd.’ replied the boy, giv
ing a second arch look, and another tremendoiM
punch. •
- I should rather think you bad him halvtd
said I, stooping down nnd peeping into the bur
row.
- Do you belong in these here part«7' askad
lie, eyeing me attentively, though with something
of a leer, as before,
• I do nnt, sir.'
• You're a traveller, looktn at the land, ’sped- 1
ten 10 purchase, if I know,’ continued the boy*
*' Spectin to purchase.” It cannot bo the itttp
of n band of robbers, thought ], wishing to sound
my purse. But I almost immediately replied^
- A traveller, though not on a land speculating
tour, if I know.'
’ You never lived in the wooda, J 'lew/ as id
lie.
• I never did. But how do you know (hat ?’
• I think so. An yon uever burned 'possums V
• No—never.'
• I thought that too. Why,' he continued^
dropping Ills pole, nnd assuming a look of sort!*
importance, ‘when yoh'tie been as long in thes*

cat, and I might stand till harvest and punch, and
lie no better olf. Waite a minute Or two, Bnd I’ll
show you how to hole a 'possum, a little the

Baying this, he took a large jacknife froth on*
of his pockets, nnd an arrow head flint from S&0-'
liter, and heaping together a few pieces of aftunkr
or dry rotten wood, he struck, and in the course
of ten minutes had a “ pretty smart" dre kindled
nt the mouth of the ’possum's hole. This; he
said, was fur the purpose of “ smoking him out/*

raged in Ids bosom.
The anchor was drawn up —the white canvass
fell from the yards—the sheets were hauled firmly
home, nnd the stately ship sw ting round on her
course, and in a few moments was moving majes
tically forwaid. dashing aside the angry waves that
tossed and foamed 0,1 her watery path : .and when
die soli that evening illlumined the dashing North
sea with her setting beams, lie beheld the lofty
ship far on her way to that land where all men are
horn equal, and where the arm of justice is ever
-xtended to protect the persecuted nnd unriirlu-
natc, from the oppression of despotism & tyranny.
