scriber, on Sunday evening, tiie I2tli instant, three
Negro Men. viz. JOHN, a large and likely black fellow, about
30 years of age, may be readily identified by having a scar on
one ol his hands, extending from the wrist joint to his little lin
ger, also a scar on one of liis legs, below the knee, and on the
outside of his leg. ELIAS, a short fellow, and of the same
complexion, about 32 years of age, having very thin hair upon
the top of his head; nnd BOB. a small fellow, of the same com
plexion, quick spoken, and about 45 years of age.
The above negroes left my plantation about dusk on Sunday
j evening last, without any provocation, taking with them their
ordinary clothing, and in addition, John his plaid cloak, Bob a
! dark overcoat, and Elias a thin plaid morning gown. From all
i the circumstances, lam inclined to believe that these negroes
’ *tave been enticed away by some unworthy white man. 1 will

MISCELLANY.
RECt -LECTIONS OF A PORTRAIT PAINTER.
a painter’s love.
It was a lovely morning: the air was warm
and balmy, and the cold, deep waters of the
rivers looked so invitingly from amongst the
tab trees that I threw my fishing rod aside,
to flij.oy their coolness. Scarcely had I begun
to bathe when a sudden pain came over me and
I sank. As I rose, struggling for life, some
dark object was, or seemed near me, till as I
sank again, visions of fields and flowers, and
of all sparkling and flashing things, danced be
fore my eye still consciousness left me.
“ I thank God he is not dead,” murmured
by a young voice at my side, were the first
sounds that met my returning senses when, on
recovering, I found myself laid on the safe hard
earth, and supported by a youth of apparently
my own age: he was not, however, so tall or
so strong; vet he had seen my danger as he
i passed the spot, and regardless of his own life,
| had plunged into the river as I was sinking for
the last time, and had saved me. I was very far
from my own home, and feeling too weak to
reach it, ivas easily persuaded by my preserv
er, Mr. Courtney, to return with him to his
own cottage, which was near the banks of the
j river. It was a pretty littje unpretending spot,
j and had nothing which could render its appear-
I ance different from the abode of the small far-
j mers of the neighborhood, but the graceful
| care with which the little garden was laid
out and kept, and an air of nameless superi
ority, which could be felt but not defin
ed. In the small neat parlor was seated a
lady in “ widow’s weeds,” and a fair young
now riding with her beautiful face flushed with
exercise, now botanizing with a chosen com
panion, now sketching; ay, every day I saw
her! Nay, once, when I was drawing near
some ruins, a party came from the castle, and
she addressed me ! I thought the throb of
exquisite delight would—would have killed
me. I gave the auld wives of the village
sketches of their sturdy sons or pretty grand
daughters, for I felt that she might secdiem.
But this is riot all: her friend, the gay and
giddy Lady had seen my drawings, and
I was called to the Castle to give to each of I
the young friends the likeness <S the other. |
it was a jest to them—think what it was to j
me. My hand trembled, and my heart failed j
me at first, but so deeply imprinted were La-

her sister
Mrs. Courtney was at first alarmed at the
sight of the pale young stranger who clung
for support to the arm of her son, but when
she heard even his simple account, her eves
flashed with a mother’s pride at the courage
of her only son, and she welcome:! him with
the kindest courtesy. After spending some
hours with them, I was completely restored by
their gentle attentions, and returned in safety
to my anxious parents.
Life was then young and vigorous withinnse,
and my gratitude to my preserver knew no
bounds.
He was the only son of a naval officer who
died a few months after the birth of a daugh
ter, leaving to his sorrowing and broken-heart
ed widow little but the memory of his virtues,
and the remains of her own small fortune :
upon this she had retired into the country, and
by economy had saved enough to educate Ed
ward for the law, which profession his mother
earnestly wished wished him to enter upon.—
Such was the state of things when I became
acquainted with the family in the manner I
have mentioned.
Edward Courtney became my most inti
mate friend. He was not above the middle
height, hut his figure was graceful and arrive;
his light brown hair waved over a high broad
forehead, whilst every motion of his soul, nay,
every thought, seemed to speak in his clear,
grey eyes. These were not large or hand
some. yet their bright and ever varying ex
pression had a charm for me, which I have never

Edward (Jour tney’s mother died, and soon
after his sister married a man that broke her
heart. Thus ended my first dream of love and
romance. But it is not of myself that I would
speak ; for a while the dying wishes of his
mother attached Edward to the law, but his

One evening we were returning from a re- ! j ve ]j” an d
union of young “ aspirants” like ourselves,
and were passing a door in square,
when we were compelled to stop to allow a
lady to pass 011 to her carriage; the light
shawl she wore fell from her shoulders, and
as Edward courteously returned it to her, the
light flashed upon a face and form of rare and
sparkling beauty. .She passed on her way,
unmindful of the pale youth whom she had
scarcely seen—but it was not so with him:
his ardent soul had longed fo^an object whose
beauty could realise a painter's dream; and
he now had found it in the daughter of the
Earl of ! the leading star of beauty and
of fashion.
Acquaintance with such a' being was'unat
tainable to poor and unknown students; and
little did I fancy I might 011c day meet with
an approving smile, a gentle welcome——even
from her. But I am writing now of other days;
and I could that night hear through the par
tition which divided our humble apartments,
that sleep was a stranger to my friend’s pillow.
Sad was the change that evening gradually
wrought on Iris conduct; the evenings, nay,
the nights which Ire had given to recreation
and rest, were devoted to wandering near the
house in ——**■ square, which was all the world
to him ; there he would watch for one glimpse
of Lady Caroline, 011 her way to some gay scene,
then pace the'neighborhood, with unwearied
steps, till her return.
Still he did not neglect the only means he
now possessed of gaining station and wealth,
but labored on with unceasing diligence, though
as experience brought knowledge, I felt he
needed the unity of purpose, the strength of
mind which alone can lead to eminence. One
day he came tiu me with a strange expression
in his wild eyes, and told me he was going to
Scotland, but no entreaties of mine could in
duce him to tell me the cause of this sudden
journey ; but in a few weeks he returned, his
eyes beaming with excpiisite tenderness, his
cheeks tinged with the"bright hues of health.
“ I have been so happy,” almost whispered
he, when my first welcome was over'; “ I have
gained that with which I would not part for
worlds! I went to Scotland, for I heard that
she had gone to Castle: I lingered, I
