A SONG —BY G. W. GOODWIN.
1 saw a little maiden,
Oi but a t en or two,
Her cheeks were fair and rosy,
lit r laughing eyes were blue;
A dainty little fairy,
Not yet a woman quite,
A modest rose-bud opening.
And beaming with delight;
Said I, Sweet little lady,
Did’st ever have a beau ?
I’d like to kiss you dearly.
But it would scare you so.
Bright flowers bloomed an mud her,
For it was joyous Spring,
A thoit.-and birds were warbling,
And she did with them sing :
Oh! I would like to marry.
If I could only find
A pretty little dearie
dust suited to my mind.
I saw another, older
lly three sweet years than she;
Oh f she was matchless lovely!
Full bloomed maturity!
Her hair in glossy ringlets,
Her eyes were sparkling bright,
Her dress was spo’less muslin,
Arranged with nicest care,
A wreath of glowing flowers,
Encircled her dark hair;
Her voice was witching music,
That chained me while she talked;
Her feet so small and pretty,
I wonder how she walked.
Said she Id like to marry,
If I could only find
A pretty little dearie
J ust suited to my mind.
1 find that all would marry.
From maid to matron old;
Oh, think it not all folly,
As you are often told ;
I saw an aucient maiden—
Os an uncei tain age.
But she had almost fretted
Her hour upon the stage;
Her brow was wrapt in wrinkles.
Her cheeks were plastered red,
Her teeth were lew and broken.
Her hair had left her head ;
Here, tueu, thought 1, is wisdom.
Her earthly dreams hare flown ;
For one she is contented
To live and die alone :
Sail sh*, i'u l.k ■to marry,
If I cuuid only find,
Oh, laird ! just any body—
A man of any kind.
Till then I was cold-hearted,
And jeered at married life;
But now good nature’s conquered,
I longed to have a wife,
And so the charming widow
Has now my hand aud heart;
Her three dears and another
Gave us a handsome star! ;
And we are very happy.
My love is true and kind ;
Oh, yes, I’ve found a dearie,
Just suited to my mind.
And now ye pretty maidens,
Voung men and lovers true,
I’ll tell you what I’m thinking
You all had better do:
I think you’d better marry.
If you can only rind
A pretty little dearie
Just suited to vour mind.
THE WELL IN THE WILDERNESS.
A TALE Oi’ TnE PHAIKIE.
In vain you urge me to forget
That iearlul night—it haunts me yet;
And stauipt into my heart and brain.
The awful memory will remain;
Yes, e’en in sleep that ghostly sight
Returns to haunt my soul each night.— S. M.
Richard Steel was the son of some of those smal’
landlords who are fast disappearing from Merry Old
England, His father left him the sole possessor of
twenty-live acres of arable land, and a snug little cot
tage, which hid descended from father to sou, through
many generations.
The ground plot which had been sulKcicnt to main
tain his honest progenitors for several ages, in the
palmy days of iiriiaiu’s glory and independence, ere
ner vast resources passed into the hands of the few, and
1- ft tiie many to starve, was not enough to provide for
the wants of our stout yeoman and Ins family, w hich
consisted at that period ol three sous and one daughter,
a lovely, blooming girl of ten years, or thereabouts
Richard and his bo>s toil and iv.ih unceasing dilligetice ;
the wife was up late and caiiy, and not one moment
was left unemployed ; and yet they made no headway,
but every succeeding year found them in arrears.
“Jane,” said the yeoman one evening, thoughtfully,
to bis wife, after having blessed his homely meal of
skimmed milk aid brown biead, “could’ut thee not
have given us a l.t ie treat to-night ? lias thee forgot*
it is our Annie’s birth-day ?”
No, Richard, I have not forgotten; how could I for
get the anniversary of the day that made us all so hap
py? Rut times are bad; I could not spare the money
to buy sugar and plums for the cake; and I wanted to
sell all the butter, in order to (crape together enough
to pay the shoemaker for making our darling’s shoes.
Annie knows that sha is infinitely dear to us all, though
we cannot give her luxuries to prove it.”
“It wants no proof, dear mother,” said the young
girl, fliuging her round, but sun-burnt arms about her
worthy parent’s neck. “ Your precious love is worth
the wealth of the whole world to me. 1 know how foud
you and dear lather are of me, and I am more than sat
isfied.”
“ Annie is right,” said Steele, dropping his knife and
holding out his arms for a caress. “ The world could
not purchase such love as we feci for her; and let us
bless Clod that, poor though we be, we are bee to
teght, well and strong, aye, and rich, in spite of our
homely fare, in each other's affect ions. What say you,
my boys?” And lie glanced with parental pride on
three tine lads, who.se healthy and honest countenances
might well be contemplated with pleasure, and afford
subjects for hopeful anticipations for the future.
” \\ e are happy, father, ’ said the eldest cheerfully.”

brought duly paid, .Steele lost no time in preparing for
his emigration. In les-. than a fortnight he hid secured
their passage to New York, and they were already on
their voyage across she Atlantic favored b\ wiudaud
weather, at er the first effects of the sea ha f worn oil’,
they were comfortable enough. The steerage passen
ge*B were poor, but respectable English emigrants, and
hey made several pleasant acquaintances among them.
One family especially attracted*their attention, and so
far engaged their affections during the ledimis voyage,
that they entered into au agreement to settle iii the
same neighborhood. Mr. Atkins was a widower, with
two sons, the ages of Richard and Owen, and an elder
sistcr--a primitive, gentle old woman, who had been
once both wife and mother, but had outlived all her
family. Abigail Winchester (for so she was called)
took an especial saucy to our Aiiuie, in whom she fan
cied that she recognized u strong resemblance to a
ilmghter whom she had lost, Her affection was warm
ly returned bv the kiud girl, who, by a thousand little
attentions, strove to evince her gratitude to Abigail tor
her good opinion.
Tney had not completed half their voyage before till
scarlet fever broke out among ihc passengers, and made
dreadful ha 1 , oc among the younger portion. Steele's
whole family were down with it at the same time, aud,
m spite of the coos:ant noising of himself, and his de
voted partner, and the unremitting attentions of Abigail
Winchester, who neve, left the sick ward for many
nights and dr.ys, the two youngest boys died, aud were
committed t j the waters ol the great deep before Annie
and Richard recovered to consciousness of their dread
ful loss. 1 his threw a -.’.d gloom over the whole party.
Steele said nothing, hut he often retired to some cornel
of the ship to bewail his loss in secret. His wife was
wasted and worn io a shadow, and poor Annie looked
the ghost of her former self.
“Had we never left England,” “she thought, “mv
brothers bad not died.” But she was wrong. God,
who watclies with parental love over all his creatures,
knows the best season in which to reclaim his own;
but human love iu its vain yearnings is slow in receiv
ing this great truth. It lives in the present, liugers
over tlie past, and cannot bear to give up that which
now is for the promise ol’ dial winch shall be. The fu
ture separated from the things of time has always an
awful aspect. A perfect aua child-like reliance upon
God can alone divest it of those thrilling doubts and
fens which at times shake the firmest mind, and urge
the proud, unyielding spirit of man to cleave so strong
ly to kindred dust.
Tiie sight of the American shores, that the poor lads
had desired so eagerly to see, seemed to renew theii
grief, and a sadder party never set foot upon a foreign
sirand than our emigrant and his family.
Steele has brought letters ot introduction to a respec
table mcaebaut ot the city, who advised him to pur
chase a tract of land in the then new State of Illinois
The beauty of the country, the line climate and fruitful
sod, were urged upon him in the strongest manner.—
The merchant had scrip to dispose of in that remote
settlement, and, as is usual in such cases, he consulted
his own interest in the matter.
Steele thought the merchant, who was a native of the
country, must know best what would suit him; and
he not only became a purchases of land iu illino.s, but
induced his new frtends to follow liis example.
\S e will pass over their journey to the far West. The
novelty of the scenes through which they passed, con
tributed not a little to raise their drooping spirits
Richard had recovered his health, and amused the party
not a little by his lively anticipations of the future.—
They were to have the most comfortable log-house, and
the neatest farm in the district. He would raise the
finest catile, the largest crops, and the be.-t garden stufi
in the neighborhood. Frugal and industrious habits
would scon render them wealthy and independent.
Ilis mother listened to these sailies with a delighted
smile; and even the grave yeoman’s brow relaxed from
its habitual frown. Annie entered warmly into her bi t-,
fliers plans; and if lie laid the foundation of his fine
castle in the air, she certainly provided the cement and
uii the lighter materials.
As their long route led them further from the habita
tions ot men, and deeper and deeper into the wild mess,
realities of their solitary locality became hourly more
apparent to the poor emigrants. They began to think
that they had acted too precipitately in going so fai
back into the woods, unacquainted as they were with
the usages of the country. But repentance came too
late; and when, at length, they reached their destina
tion, they found themselves upon the edge of a vast for
est with a noble open prairie stretching away as far a.~
the eye could reach in irout ol them, and no human
habiiatiou iu sight, or indeed existing for miles aroun 1
them.
In a moment the yeoman comprehended all the dif
ficulties and dangers of his new situation ; but his was
a stout heart, not easily dauuled by circumstances. He
possessed a vigorous constitution, aud a strong arm;
and he was not alone. Richard was an active, energetic
lad, and his friend Atkins, and has two sons, were:
**■ ‘--t iu tucuiselves. Having set.led with his guides,
and ascei tamed, by the map that tie received at Mr.
s olhee, the extent and situation of his new estate,
he set about unyoking the cattle which he had purchas
ed, and securing them, while Atkins aud his sons pitch
ed a tent tor llie night and collected wood for their tire.
The young jieople were in raptures with the ocean of
verdure, redolent with blossoms, that lay smiling in the
last ra\ sos the sun before them. Never did garden ap
pear so lovely as that vast wilderness of sweets, plant
ed by the munificent hand of Nature with such profuse
magnificence. Aunie could scarcely tear herself avray
from the enchanting scene to assist her mother in pre
paring their evening meal.
“Mother, where shall we get water?” asked Annie,
glancing wistfully toward their empty cask. “I have
seen no indications of water for the last three miles.”
“Aunie has raised a startling doubt,” said Steele, I
can perceive r.o appearanee of stream or creek, iu am
derection.”
“llist! father, do you hear that?” cried Richard.—
“The croaking of those frogs, is music to me just now,
fori am dying with thirst;” and seizing the can, he
ran oft the direction of the discordant sounds.
It was near dark w hen he returned with his pailful j
of water; with which the whole party slaked theii
thirst, before asking any questions.
“What delicious water —as dear as crystal—as cold
as icc ! How tort unate it is toobtain it so near at hand !”
exclaimed several iu a breath.
“Ay, but it is an ugly place,” said Richard thought
fully, “I should not like to go to that well at early
day, or after night tall.”
“\V hy not, mv boy ?”
“It is in the heart of a dark swamp, just about a hun
red yards within the forest; aud the water trickles be
neath the roots of an old tree into a natural stone tank ;
but all around is involved in frightful gloom ; I fancied
I heard a low growl as I stooped to fill mv pail, while
a horrid speckled snake glided from between mv feet,
and darted hissing and rattling its tail, into the brake.
Father, you must never let any ol the people go alone
to that well.”
The yeoman laughed at his son’s fears, and shortly
after the party entered inio the tent, and overcome with
fatigue, were soon asleep.
The first tiling that engaged the attention of the emi
grants, was the erection of a log shanty, tor the recep
tion of their respective families. This important task
was soon accomplished. Atkins preferred the open
prairie for the site of his; but Steele, for the ncaret
proximity of wood and water, chose the edge of the for
est ; but the habitations of the pioneers were so near
that they were within cull of each other.
To fence off a piece of land for the cattle, and prepare
a plot for the wheat and corn for the ensuing \ ear, was
the next thing to be accomplished; and by the time
these preparations were completed, the long bright sum
mer’ had passed away, and the fall was at hand.. Up to
this period, both families had enjoyed excellent health,
but in the month of September, Annie and then Rich
ard fell sick with intermittent fever, and old Abigail
kindly came across to help Mrs. Steele to nurse her suf
fering children. Medical aid was not to be had in thal
remote place, and beyond simple remedies, which were
perfectly inefficacious in their situation, the poor child
ren’s only chance of fife was their youth, a good sound
constitution, anil the merciful interposition of a benevo
lent and overruling Providence.
It was towards the close of a sultry day that Annie,
burning with fever, implored the faithful Abigail to give
her a drink of cold water. Hastening to the water cask,
the old woman was disappointed hy finding it exhaust
ed, Richard having drunk the last drop, who was still
raving in the delirium of fever, for more drink.
“My dear child, there is no water ”
‘ Oil! lam burning—dying with thirst! Give me
hut one drop, dear Abigial—on* drop of c< Id water!”
Just then Mrs. Steele returned from milkingthccows,
and Abigail proffered to the lips of the child a bowl of
new milk, but she shrank from it with disgust, and
sinking back on the pillow murmured, “Water! water!
for the love of God! give me a drink of wafer!”
“Where is the pail?” “ssid Mrs Steele.” “I don't
much like going alone to ihat well; hut it is still broad
day, and 1 know that in reality there is nothing to fear;
I 1 cannot bear to hear the child uioan for drink in that
terrible way.”
“Dear mo.her,” said Richard faintly, “don’t go ; fa
ther will b” in soon ; we can wait till then.”
“Oh ! ’ the poor dear child is burning!” cried Abi
gail; “she cannot wait till thc:i ; do, neighbor, go for |
■ lie water; 1 will stay with the ch.alien, and put on: I
the nflk while mfere awav.
Mrs. Steel left (he shanty; and a few minutes after,
the patients exhausted by suffering, fell into a profound
sleep. Abigail busied herself scalding the milk pails,
and, in her joy at the young people’s cessation from
lain, forgot the mother altogether. About half an bout
had elapsed, and the mellow light of evening had laded
into night, when Steel returned with hia oxen from the
field.
The moment he entered the shanty, he went up to
the bed, which contained his sick children, and satisfied
that the fever was abating, he looked round for his sup
per, surprised that it was not, as usuei, ready for him
upon the table.
“ No water!” he cried, “in the cask, and supper not
ready. After working all dav iu the burning sun, a
man wants to have things made comfortable for him at
night. Mrs. Winchester, are you here ? Where is my
wife ? ’
“Merciful goodness!” exclaimed the old woman,
turning pale a j death, “is she not hack from the well?”
“'1 he well!” cried Steel, grasping her arm ; “how
long has she been gone r”
*• This half hour, or more.”
Steel made no answer— hs cheek was as pale os her
own : and, taking his gun from the beam to which it
was slung, he carefullv loaded it with a Iwll ; and with
out saying a word, left the house.
Day still lingered upon the open prairie but the mo
ment he entered the bush it was deep night. lie had
crossed ihe plain with rapid strides, but ns he approach
ed tlie swamp, his step became slow and cautious. The
well wis in the centre of a jungle, from the foot
of which Richard had cieard away the brush to facili
tate their access to the water; us lie drew near the spot,
his ears were cliilied by a low, deep growling, and the
crunching ol teeth, as if some wild animal was devour
ing the bones of its prev. The dreadful truth, with all
its shocking, heart revolting reality,flashed upon the veo
man, and for a moment paralyzed him. The precincts
of the well were within range of his t itle, and dropping
down upon his hand and knees, and nerving his arm
for a clear aim, he directed his gaze to the spot from
whence the fatal sounds proceeded. A little on one side
of the well, a pair of luminous eyes glared like green
lamps at the edge of the dark wood, aud the hor
rid sounds which curdled the b aud of the yeoman be
came more distinctly audible,
Slowly, Steel raised his rifle to his shoulder, and set
ting his teeth, and holding his breath, he steadily aimed
at a space between those glowing balls of fire. The
sharp re’iort of the rifle awoke the far echoes of the for
est. The deer leaped up from his lair, the wolf howled
and fled into the depths of the wood, and the panther,
for such it was sprang several feet into the air, then
fell across the mangled remains of his victim.
Richard Steel rose from the ground; the perspiration
was streaming from his brow ; his limbs t cm bled and
shook, his lips moved convulsively, and he pressed his
hands upon his heaving breast to keep down the vio
lent throbbings of his agitated heart. It was not fear
that chained him to the spot, and hindered him from
approaching his dead enemy. It was horror. He dar
ed not look upon tlie mangled remains of his wife—the
dear partner partner of his joys ard sorrows—the
j.>y ol his boyhood—the love of his youth—the friend
and counsellor of his vniddlc age—the beloved mother
o’ his ch ldr.n How could he recoin -e nha crushed
aid defiled heap his poor Jane? The pang was too
great for his agonized mind to bear Sense and sight
alike forsook him, and, staggering a few paces forward,
he fcU insensible across the path.
Alarmed by the report of the rifle, Atkins and his
sons proceeded with torches to the spot, followed by
Abigail, who unconscious of the extent of the calamity,
was vet sufficiently convinced that something dreadful
had occurred. When the full horrors of the scene were
presented to the sight of the terror-stricken group,
their grief burst forth in tears and lamentations. At
kins a!one retained his presence of mind. Dragging
the panther from the mangled remains of the unlorti -
nate Mrs. Steel, lie beckoned to one of his sons, and
suggested to him the propriety of install iy bury it g
the disfigured and mutilated body before t lie feelings of
her husband and children were agonized by the sight.
First removing the insensible father to his own dwel
-1 ng, Atkins and iiis sons returned to the fatal spot, and
conveying the body to the edge of the prairie, they se
lected a quiet, lovely sjmt beneath ihe wide-spreading
boughs of a magnificent chest-nut tree, and wrapping
all that remained of the wife of Richard Steel in a
sheet, they committed it to the earth in solemn silence;
no: were prayers or tears wanting in that lonely hour
to consecrate the nameless grave were the English mo
ther slept
Annie and Richard recovered to mourn their irrepa
rable loss—to feel that their mother’s life had been sac
rificed to her maternal love. Time, as it ever does,
softened the deep anguish of the bereaved husband.—
During the ensitiug summer, their little colony was
joined by a hardy band of British and American pio
neers The little settlement grew a prosperous village,
md Richard Steel died a wealthy man, and was buried
by the sale of his wife, in the centre of the village
churchyard—that spot having been chosen for the first
temple in which the emigrants met to worship iu His
own house the God of their fathers.
From GaliganVs Messenger.
Napoleon’s Tomb.
The following description of the present state of the
tomb ot the Emperor, will not be without interest:
“ During the twelve years that the construction of
the tomb of the Emperor was in contemplation, a vari
ety’ of plans had been considered, and many of them, af
ter having lieen commenced, were afterwards abandon
ed, as not being suited to the purpose intended. The
cr ypt, which was first formed, was found not to be
sufficiently large and deep, and the enlargement of it
required considerable precautions in order not to en
danger the solidity of the dome. The circular portico
limiting the space, the centre of which was to be occu
pied by the sarcophagus, had in the first, place been con
ceived without any special ornamentation, and was in
t nded to be remarkable for its extreme simplicity.—
It was then thought that the construction, being of
such vast extent, ought to bo ornamented with bas-re
liefs representing the civil acts of the Emperor; it was
also decided that the pillars supporting the circular en
tablature should be ornamented with the representation
of different victories.
The sarcophagus, which is formed of poipbyn*,
brought from Kuirharn, in KinlnnO, is ni an imposing
and severe form, and is completely finished, and Dears a
most extraordinary polish. It is lined inside with Cor
sican granite, in order that, lying in his coffin, the illus
trious deceased may, as it were, repose on materials
brought from his native soil. The tomb is raised on a
foundation of granite from the Vosges. The cover
which is supported by wood-work, is brought as near
as possible to the sarcophagus, and has only to be push
ed on hor zo itally in order to cover it. On entering the
church trim the sou h door, on the place Van ban, the
Dome de Mansard is seen at one roup d'cel. In ap
proaching nearer is seen the crypt, surrounded with a
massive balustrade. From the midst of marbles of ex
treme whiteness, stands up in bold relief the sarcopha
gus, reposing on a pavement of mosaics ot extreme
richness. Beyond tlie cript rises the high altar, sur
mounted by an immense canopy ; nil of this part of the
decorations is composed of colored marbles, which have
the most superb effect. The altar is surmounted by a
‘ statue of our Saviour on the cross, sculptured by M.
Triquetti. Semi-circular stuir-eascs, turning to the
right and lett, lead to the door of another stair-case,
which leads directly to the crypt.
This is part of the monument, which is conceived in
grand proportions, is turned towards the nave of the
church. On the sides of the door, which is in bronze,
stand two figures of old men, caryatides, and by which
it is intended to personify in some degree the military
and citil glory of the Emperor. Over the entrance are
written the following lines, which expresses the last
wishes of Napoleon: “Je desire one tnes cendris ‘vyx/-
* nt stir Ins rises de la Seine au mdieu de people Fran
co ise que.joi tant cime.”
On the right and left of the open space before the en
trance of the monument are the tombs of Bertrand and
of I)uroc, worthy guardians of the man whom they so
faithfully served. The sarcophagus hears no name in
scribed on it, ami it is that which surrounds it which
gives its signification to the tomb. Tlie twelve em
blematical representations of victories, the names of
battles inscribed on the pavement, the bas-reliefs inten
ded to call to mind the principal acts of imperial ad
ministration—this union of military and civil souven
irs, all glorious, aud in the centre the isolated tomb,
such is what constitutes in its ensemhle the monument
of ihe Emperor.
The ten bas-reliefs of the circular portico have been
executed by M. Sim art. One of them represents a fig
ure in an antique dress, having in front two females,
representing the Roman and Gullican Church, who are
giving their hands to each other, and in the corner is a
man raising a cross. Under this composition is engra
ved the word, “Concordat.” The other has reliefs rep
resent tlie Cour dcs Comptes, the university, ccntrali
zUion, the legion of honor, the council of state, great
public wotks, commerce, manufactures, and the Code
Napoleon. In the centre of the chandler, Chamber
de I’Epec or du Keliquaire, is a kind of cippus, having
a compartment of bronze in the form of a cushion, on
which will be deposited the sword of Austerlitz, and
the interior of which will receive the hat of the Empe
ror, his cross of honor and his crown. To the right
and left will be grouped the colors taken in the wars of
the empire. At the end of this funeral chamber, which
be ligh’ed hy a limp, is the marble statue
of Napoleon ii a standing position, coveted with the
imperial mantle, and holding a sceptre and the globe.
The public w ill never be allowed to enter this room, and
• he inside of it will only be viewed through the grating
of Ihe door. s * h

quin, tlie per on addressed, put his hand to his heart,
and with grave politeness and penetrating glance, re
p ied
• Sir, I am that Joaquin, and no man takes me alive,
or comes within one hundred yards of me, with these
good weapons.”
Without any further ceremony, and perfectly unexci
ted, the robber went on to relate the reason of his con
duct in b:s late career. He said that beco ming disgus
ted with the frequency of Mexican revolutions, lie had
come to California to cud his days in peace, as an Amer
ican citizen, but that he had been oppressed, robbed,
and persecuted by the Americana in the placers; had
lost .Mt\oOO, been driven from a piece of land, which he
ivus working with an American companion ; had been
insulted and grossly maltreated without justice; had
been flogged and he was determined to he revenged
for his wrongs, four-fold, lie had robbed many, killed
many, and more should suffer iu the same way* or else
he would die in the struggle. He appeared* then to
grow very serious, and become excited, nut subsequent
ly added, that hearing a large reward was offered for
liis head or his ‘iving body, he rode into Stacklon, dis
guised, walked leisurelyjaroutid, with his scrape thrown
over liis shoulders, reading the different hand-bills pos
ted up about town. Coming to one of these, in a pub
lic through fare, where foV>oo was offered for his cap
ture, he wrote in pencil underneath : “ I will givefclO,-
ooii myself Joaquin”—and leisurely rode out of the
town.
