7 Tie past the midnight hour.
Was that his tread upon the silent street!
The faintest sound bas power-
To make each throbbing' pulse with iumnlt
be;**
No, no, I watch in vain ;
The idol I have made is ouly clay ;
Oh Qod, soothe Thou this pain!
Koll back the clouds of gloom that shroud my
way.
A woman’s lot is mine ;
To love, to suffer, in meek patience bear
With wrong, yet give no sign
Of outward woe, no token of despair.
Though all the world forake,
I pledged my word with him to live and die
That vow I will not break ;
My soul is bound by every tie.
Can I not bear neglects.
At length to lure him from his downward
track!
I • hope forever wrecked ?
Will not ray strong love win the truant back ?
Hush! heard you not a tone ?
The sleeping babe stirred softly on my breast
Was that the wind’s low moan ?
The very air with listening seems oppressed.
Wfcerdis thy father, child?
This long long weary nig) t will soon be pass-
ed;
Have fiends his steps beguiled
To wicked haunts- -tlririnares abont him cast ?
Oh God ! my weuk heart aid.
His reeling, staggering steps at last I know ;
I shrink from him afraid—
Have I uot felt the fierce weight of his blow ?
Is this to be my fat R-
Night after night ? Will nothing melt his heart?
Must I all vainly wait!
O, demon of the bowl, bow strong thou art!
Spuac—During this year four thou,
sand one hundred tons of sumac have
Been gathered in Virgiuia. It Bold for
twenty dollars a ten, bringing eighty,
two thosand dollars.
Now, this is wild sumac, gathered in
the locks of fences, alongside of the
roads and in worn-out old fields. Such
a product cannot lie of the highest
grade. Nevertheless, American sumac,
with all these disadvantages, commands
the.best prices in the market.
Owing to the nature of this plant, it
is free from vermin, and its yield is very
uniform being less injured by drought
than almost anything else. One great
argument, then, for raising it is the cer
tainty of the crop.
As it is not cultivated, the gatherers
of sumac have to run over a large tract
of country to Collect a ton. This de
stroys a very con iderable portion of its
value to the collector. If however, it
were planted close together, the raiser
would be able to gather it at very little
expense, and the product would bo far
uperior to the wild article. It would
sigh much more, the chemical proper-
of the fruit would tic far more un
it would be free from dirt, and
bring a much higher price than
cs now.
Such is the great demand for sumac in
this country by England and France for
manufacturing purposes, that it would
hiei-t with the most rapid sale, and there
can be no danger that a ready market
could not be found for all that could be
produced in Virginia.
We look upon the introduction of the
. regular cultivation of this plant as of the
greatest importance to our Etatc—Aor-
folk Journal.

It was- the winter of 1777, memorable
through all the annals of American his
tory as that in which our suffering army
under General Washington, was en~
camped at Valley Forge. Among that
brave and patriotic band, who tracked
the frozen snow with the blood.of their
unprotected feet on the march from
White Marsh, was Alfred Sydney, a
lineal descendent of Sir Philip Sydney,
chamberlain to King Henry II., and of
Algernon Sydney, who in tbe time of
Cromwell died on the scaffold, a martyr
to his noble republican principles.
The young wife of Alfred Sydney,
when her husband went forth to fight
the battles of the Revolution, was, with
their infant child, received into the
home of her childhood—her father, Mr.
Vermon, being a sturdy and intelligent
pioneer in a then sparsely settjed dis
trict in the State of NewaJuiri^- This
home is the scene of the prtseot sketch.
“The dangerous proximity to the fron
tier had induced Mr. Vwmon's neigh-
bors, few enough before, to remove near
er the forts and strongholders in posses
sion of our army, untill be was left
quite alone at a distance of ten mries
from any settlement. But beiDg a fear
less man, be was little disturbed by the
circumstance. His wife feeieg dead,'
himself, his daughter and the infant
comprising the household. Clara Syd
ney, inheriting her father’s spirit of
proud independence, slept quietly iD
that insolated home, dreaming not of
readcoats or scalping knives, and regret
ting only the remoteness from nny point
at which news regarding the state of
the country was to be obtained. Glad'
ly would she sit alone the long day with
her helpless babe, as often as she could
prevail on her father to go to town for
letters from Alfred, or any tidiugs that
might affect him.
Coe day in January Mr. Yernon set
off early on one of these visits to the
settlement; but when the sun set, and
the brief twilight settled into night, Clara
Was ‘still alone. She was neitiier timid
nor apprehensive, yet she listened eager
ly for her father's footsteps, or stood
before the little square window, her
hand shading her eyes from the firelight,
looking forth into the starry night; but
listened arid looked in vam.
Srtpper waited; the Srilall table was
neatly spread, the fragrant tea bubbled
on the hearth, the VriniSori Steaks were
ready-, the light Shdrtcakc in the grand
old bakepan \Vas brdwnirtg slightly,
and still Clara Waited for her father,
and waited in Vairi.
At last she was obliged to confess to
herself a feeling of uneasiness. The
night-, clear and still, was severely cold
and without the light of the moon. Her
father might have been belated and lost
his way^ and if so, it must be exceed
ingly ilifficrilt to find in tbe darkneftS,
with the road deeply buried in uutrack-
ed snow, Over whose crusted service be
walked upon snowshoes.
She took down the dinrter horn front
where it depended by a string from a
nail Oil the rind of the dresser, and going
without, blew it loud and shrill full a
dozriri tiriteS; harkening after each blast
till the erihrieS died away iri the sur
rounding forest, but it called forth no
response of a human voice. Once, in
deed she thought she heard a call, but
a few moments’ listening convinced her
that it Was only the distaBt Bribing of a
wild beast—a sound hot ho Unusual id
that neighborhood as td ekeitri alaftri.
The unwonted noise breaking in upon
the stillness had awakened her babe,
and Mrs. Sydney re entered the hous_
in haste to still its wild crying. The
little creature seemed thoroughly frigh■
tened; and for the next half hour she
carried it in her arms to and fro through
the room, trying ineffectually to still its
crying. At last) when both were near-
ly exhausted, the mother thhew herself
upon the bed, her infant still clasped to
Her breast; where it shortly grew quiet
and Hell asleep.
Clara was not deeply alarmed con
cerning her lather; hri was do novice
in forest adventure, had hocted and
camped Ottt, doubtless-, oil many a win
try night like this. Mr. Vernon never
went dht without his gun and plenty of
SmiiihHititJn, and that ddy hd ddrried
with him a small, sharp hatchet, slung
at his belt behind. He had thus the
means of building a fire and of defend
ing himself against wild beasts. As to
other dangei s peculiar to the period,
she considered them lightly as she had
over done:
The tall clock at tb‘o head of the bed
struck eleven while she iay there medi
tating. It ddtlld iliit have been idng
after this, that she fell into a state be.
tween waking and sleeping —such a
state as most persons, perhaps, experi
ence many times in their life, in which
the mind retains more or less conscious
ness of outward things, thodgh the bod
ily faculties seem bound as in fetterfi
of iron.
Her first sensation was of suffering
from cold, which grew more and more
intense every moment. She believed
the fire had burnt out, and wished to
arise and replenish it, but felt that it
was beyond her power. They were ly
ing on the outside of the bed, but she
was glad to remember having drawn
the coverlid snugly over her babe.
In this state of helpless conscious
ness, suddenly there came to iier ear
the report of a musket, and immediately
following that a succession of the most
horrible sounds that ever rent tbe mid
night air, Bending dismay to a human
heart—the desperate shouting ol a man,
mingling with a fierce yelping of wolves,
closing in upon their prey in determin
ed and irresistible attack.
The interrogation flashed across Clar
a’s mind, was not this purely imaginary,
the effect of the nightmare state that
was sensibly upon ber ? But the next
moment she had sprung to ber feet and
was standing beside the bed. The
sounds which might have paralyzed her
waking senses, had broken the spell
which bound ber, while at tbe same
time they filled her with unutterable
horror
All was silent that instant; uot a
sound, near or far, could the closest lis
tener have detected. But the outer
door, opening directif. Into the retort*
where she was, stood ajar, and glancing
vfHdly about the apartment, Clara
thought she conld distinguish by the
feeble' light of the coals Upon the hearth,
gluts t-
en, and the sheeted snow spread
ly beneath the midnight heaven.
While thus she stood, staring with
suspended breath and almost pulseless
heart, the same horrible intermingling
of voices, brute and human, rose again
in ’.he air and sent through ber veins an
icier chill than that of tbe bitter night
wind sweeping in at the open door.
Forgetting all, herself, her infant—
everything save her lather perishing,
overpowered by those demon brutes,
Clara caught down a loaded musket
Irom its place against the watt, and
rushed out into the ghastly moonlight.
There she stopped ; what could she
do ? The sounds proceeded from the
woods—they were dying out—present
ly bad ceased altogether. Well life#
the horror-struck woman thoSe raven
ous beasts were slaking tbeir thirst with
a victim’s blood ! A nearer sound at
tracted her. Opposite, three wolves
were rtrtmirig a "race southward ever the
snow. She raised he! gun and fired.
One of the red-tongued monsters fell dead,
galloped forward the more
madly, eager to share in the banquet of
their fellows.
Should she re-enter the house ? Yes,
the mother’s instinct was strong in her
bosom. Laying down her Weapon ah
nseless, Clara crept within and straight
to the fireplace, Where she kindled a
blaze, in the expectation every instant
of feeling tbe clutch of a savage in her
hair. But when the blaze suddenly il
lumined the apartment, it was seen to
contain no enemy—no being beside her
self and child. In hastening to her
babe alter sonnding the horn, she prob
ably neglected fastening the door prop
erly, and tbe risen wind bad blown it
openl
Morning came, and after hours of
such terrible anguish of mind as no
words can describe. At sunrise Clara
want fOrtb, half born up by the snow,
half sinking into its frozen depths, to
seek for any traces of tbe midnight
tragedy, which had robbed her of her
last protector. Her sad mission wai
only too successful. Near the edge of
the woods, within sight of his home,
appeared the revolting evidences of the
combat in which Mr. Vernon, after a
brave defence, had yielded up his life.
The trampled snow was stained with
tile blood of man and beast. Three
wolves lay dead within a circuit of a
few yards—one beneath the butt of the
well known musket, which had broken
in twain in dealing its fatal blow.—
A pair of snow-sboes lay beside it.—
A fragment of skull, a thigh and
ankle bone were all that remained of
her father. In gathering these together,
Clara discovered the torn fragment of a
letleY to herself in her husband’s hand
writing. The collected remains she
bore sacredly back with her to the des
olate dwelling, and buried them in the
onow Under the front window.
Oh, the days that then dragged them
selves past. There was no lack of the
riebessaries of life at hand to sustain
them till spring; but Clara could not
bear tbe lonelineee add tbe dreadful rec
ollrictiou that oppressed her, and felt at
times she was going mad. Site would
have been glad df the sight of a red
coat or an Indian, so he did but bear
tbe human form, so separated did she
seem from all her species. A little ram
had fallen *-^nd frozen, making a stiff
crust on the snow quite strong enough
to bear her weight; she contemplated
the hazardous undertaking of Walking
to tbe settlement-, and Only the thought
of exposing her infant to thri perils Of
Sitch a journey had deterred tier so long
On the fifth day after the tragedy,
towards nightfall, Clara Sydney sat by
the hearth, leaning her pale face on her
hand. The babo lay sleeping on ber
lap. Suddenly the" door opened and
her hither stood before her. She star
ted, then sank back in her chair shud
dering, fully believing tbe appearanco
supernatural. Mr. Vernou, ou his part,
was so struck by his daughter’s strange
aspect, that he could not immediately
speak.
When he did speak, and Clara heard
her fathor’s own voice, and felt bis hand
laid in the old kindly way on her bead,
she burst into tears—tbe first which had
relieved her heart through all its dire
agony.
The facts were these : On the day
that Mr. Vernon went to the settlement,
a man had been arrested, and was to be
triend for the commission of a crime; tbe
reputation ol the pioneer for upright
ness and sagacity, occasioned his sum
mons to act as foreman of the jury. He
immediately procured a person to go
home in his place, inform his daughter
what had happened, and there await his
return, intrusting to the person Clara’s
letter from lit# Hitebdild, and also len
ding him his own musket. From signs
that afterward appeared, it was sup
posed the man wandered out of his- way
and as night came on built a fire; which,
sifter the mucin rose, he incautiously left,
and, endeavoring to make his way on to
the house, met the terrible fate describ
ed.
Alfred Sydney, when peace was at
last declared, returned in safety to his
happy, waiting wife. Their first born
Son, tbe unconscious infant of its moth
er’s care diiririg the period of her
inonrnful despair, was a hero in tbe
war of 1812, and rose to a high rank.
Several of their descendants did good
service for theft country in the recent
civil struggle.
TfwxxLiKo Under mr Sea.—A
scheme has been proposed for uniting
Ireland and Scotland, so as to do away
with the necessity of making a sea pas
sage altogether. Tbe entrance to tbe
railway tunnel, by whieh it is to be ac
complished, on tbe Irish side, is to be
from a point about nfiditsy between
Cusbertden ami Cushenhall, on tbe coast
of Antrim, and on’ fife Scotch tods ut
Glenstrone, from whence it wtfuld tun'
through the bead of tbe Mull of Con-
tyre. The totrff length of tunnel under
water would bo ttrifteeu miles three
furlongs, and it is said thrtl the ground
through which it would have to be made
is exactly soiled for tunneling opera
tions, and the sandstone for lining it
can be had in any quantity on tbe Irish
side. It is proposed to construct tbe
tunnel for a single line only, tbe ex
treme depth being twenty-one feet and
the clear width at the level of the rails
to accommodate wide and narrow-gauge
carriages.

Walter Scott at Work-
Even when bis eves were failing, and
his fingers goaty, Walter Scbtt frequent
ly threw off thirty or forty pages of
print before dinner—that, in fact, was
bis task when he was ift 'wdr’k upon
‘Woodstock’ and the ‘Life of Napoleon;’
and till be bad accomplished that, he
did not tbink himself at liberty to take
bis axe and stroll otft into the wood for
an hour’s Sharp, exercise. In bis prime
be thought nothing of throwing off a
novel fo a month. ‘Goy Mannering’
was written in six weeks about Christ
mas, and that he thought easy work.—
Very frequently, however, Sir Walter
had a brace of novels on hand together,
or a novel and a poem, or two or
three reviews tor the Edinburgh and
the (Quarterly. ‘IVanhoe’ and the‘Mon
astery’ were written together like this;
and he took up the story of ‘.Wood-
stock’ as a diversion to kill time whq*
fie wis ahead of tbe press with his ‘Life
of Napoleon.’ Hasty work in literature
is not generally the highest kind of
work ; and of course there is in all Sir
Waiter Scott’s works much that is thin,
and rambling, and vapid. But with
Sir Walter Scott literatore was not an
art, but a trade. What was good
enough for the pebfie, was good enough
for him; and bis cardinal test of the
value of his work Was the price of its
copyright and its sale. In poetry, he
wrote by inspiration ; taking up his pen,
like Byron, only when the fit was upon
him; bat when at work upon a novel
or a history, all bo thought of was to
get through his task; and if he was not
in the vein when be took up his pen, be
simply wrote on, as be said, till he
wrote himself into good-humor.’ This
was not generally a very bard task;
and when bq had got into a good-bnmor
with his work, he wrote on as freely
and as gaily as he talked. His manu
scripts testify sufficieoly to this. In bis
poems you meet witn stanzas that are
hardly legible with blots and interlinea
tions ; but tbe manuscripts of his nov
els are as free from every thing of this
description as his correspondence.—
You may turn over page after pagte
without finding a single correction. He
never feriggfrid rivet n Sentence, or cast
about for an expression. ‘His thoughts;’
as bis amannesis said, ‘flowed easily and
felicitously, without any difficulty to
lay hold of them, or lo find appropriate
language. He sat in his chair (when
dictating,) from which he rose now and
then, took a volume from the book-case,
consulted it, and restored it td the shelf
—all without intermission in tbe cur
rent of ideas, which continued to be de
livered with no less readiness than if
bis mind bad been wholly occupied with
the werds he was ottering.’ When a di
alogue of peculiar animation was in
progress, James Ballaotyne says Scott
walked up and down the room, raising
the parts The file-work Scott left to
the printer ; and of several of his sto
ries he did not oven see tbe proofs till
they were in the hands of the public.—
With the exception of the ‘Lay,’ I doubt
whether he ever read any of his poems
after they were published. He liked
that better than he anticipated ; but I
do not tbink the perusal increased his
opinion of the critical discernment of
the public He was ‘never fond of his
own poetry ;’ and when Ballantinc told
him that the ‘Lord of the Isle’ and
‘Rokeby’ were paling in the glare and
glitter bl'Chiide Harold’ and the ‘Gia
our,’ he abandoned tbs laurel wreath to
Byron without a struggle, and almost
without a sigh. ‘Since one line bas fail
ed,’ bo said, ‘we must strike out some
thing elsis.’
This was tbe Spiir iindrir fthich he
took up the abandoned manuscript of
‘Waverly,’ which had been lying among
the fishing-tackle of an old drawer for
seven or eight years; and threw off tbe
second and third volumes ill three
weeks. When, in turd, tbe hbVels tif
the ‘Author t>f Waverly’ ’ began tri pall
upon a taste which likes its fiction fresh
and fresh, Scott left the field to bis imi
tators, and turned to history. ‘There is
bat one way,’ be said, ‘if you wisli to be
read—you must strike out something
novel to suit the humor of the hour
and that was the principle by which be
was governed all through his career.
It was not a very lofty principle to act
upon ; with weaker man it might have
been a dangerous principle, ending, as
in the case of Byron, in the complete de
moralization of his genius. Id Scott;
however, it led to nothing morn than a
variation of style. Tbe most volumi
nous author of an age not particularly
distinguished by tbe parity of its liteca-
tlirfi or ttlofaL; the contemporary of By
ron and Moore, and the personal friend
of George IV., an author; too; 4rho
aifoiVedly set His Sails to catch the pop
ular breeze, Sir Walter Scott never al
lowed bis genius to pollute itseli by any
thing that, as a man, he coaid blUsb
for. Talking over his writings at the
close of bis career with a friend, and
contrasting their tone with that of Goe
the's; Sir Walter said; with a flush of
pride : ‘It is a comfort to me to think
that I have tried to unsettle no man’s
faith; to corrupt no man’s principle, and
that i have written nothing which on
my death-bed I should wish blotted.’
And his boast was true.
How to Cork a Cold.—One method
pf getting rid of a cold fa the head, ac
cording to Good Health, although troub
lesome, is sometimes very successful.—
It coasists in abstaining as much as pos
sible from drinking any liquids. By
this means the supply of fluid to the
blood which goes to keep up tbe dis
charge froth the nostrils, .s dffl off, and
with it the discharge itself. In this way
a bad cold in tbe bead may some
times be cured in a single day. An
equable temi>erature also conduces to
recovery. It is always desirable in
winter to remain a few dayh altogether
within doors, and to keep One'S apart
ment at a constant heat of about sixty-
five degrees, Fahrenheit. This gradu
ally induces the skin to perspire, by
which its sympathetic friend, the maces
membrane, which has been trying, tow-
ever imperfectly, to do the work of ita
neighbor in discharging the secretions
6f the system, is relieved from its efforts.
Sometimes, and especially at the very
commencemenuof a cold, a f -tvod .ac
tion of the skin, by which it is made to
sweat profusely, succeeds. This may
be effected by internal medicines, aided
by hot drinks, wh'rie the body is well
covered with bed clothes. But a far
more effectual sudorific is presented id
the Turkish bath,, The cold douches
should be dispensed with, and tepid Wa
ter used instead, as it is desirable that
the pores should remain relaxed. A
cold doeebe would dries them.

the very latest modem improvmenta to
atone for this, viz: several negro Al
dermen who were elected January 4th.
How many of the elect have tasted the
thong in firmer times is not stated.
A scheme is on foot to cut a shtj}
canal through Ireland, from Dublin to
Ga'awa), a distance of abont a hundred
miles. The object is to improve the
communication between England and
America, and it is said that tbe whole
of the necessary Capital can be obtaiaed
immediately.
One of tbe Sandwich Islands
ciaiitls the biggest apple crchard in the
world, having one that is twenty miles
long, and from five to ten miles wide.—
The fruit is the native wild apple, very
delicious, but very rapid in decay.—
Some of the trees bear fifty barrels
apiece.
jack Whaiy's wife one day
chanced to find an elegant pieeeof white
leather on the road, and she brought it
borne with ber in great delight, to inend
Jack’s small clothes, which she did very
neatly. Jack set off the next day, lit
tle expecting what was in store for him ;
but when he had trotted about five miles
—it was in tbe month of July—he be
gan to feel mighty uneasy in the saddle
—a feiHng that continued to increase
ai every moment, till at last, be said ‘it
was like taking a carter ou a beehive
m tfwatnrting time,’ and well He might;
tar tbe piece 0t leather was none other
tHrtS a blister that the apothecary’s boy
had tffepped that m'oririrtg ort the road.
A Pio.—We were felicitating ourself
on having fine Chester pigs, but onr
friend Jobn Stillwell has mifde tfs feel
bad. He showed ns one that is not five
months old and which weighs probably
two-hifndred pounds. In fact it is cru
el to keep art animal as fit as bis pig is,
as it cannot get up when down, except
with great difficulty and many efforts.
It’s a huge pig, sura enough.—Middle

“I don’t like your chtirch government.
It isn’t simple enongh. There’s too
much machinery abdrtt it” “it id tide,"
replied the Stethodiat, “we have more
machinery than yon; bat then, yon see,

This is the way in which a South
Sea Islander settled a case of con
science. The missionary had rebaked
him for the sin of polygamy, and he
was much grieved. After a day or two
be returned, his face radie'rtt with joy.
“Me all fight now; One wife. Me
very good Christian.” “What did you
do with the other?’ aXkeed the mission-
afy. “Me eat her up.”
A correspondent tells us how to

he once prevented a severe case of the
