A true extract from the minutes of the Court of Ordi nary of Greene County. Jan. 21, 1858. EUGENIUS L. KING, Ordinary. THE RECOMPENSE. Dedicned to my esteemed friend, Clara Clifton. BY EMMA EMERALD. On a dark, starless and bitter cold night just as the city clocks told the hour of ‘seven, a man whose face was hidden by a miserable, slouched hat, paused close to the entrance of one of the most fashionable of the city Theatres; it is al most impossible to discover a person’s age, with out at least seeing his face, but this man’s form was so erect —s ) slight and graceful, that we may suppose him young—perhaps not more than one or two and twenty. Inspite of his shabby attire, and crouching air, there was something interest ing about this young man; he had that air of re finement that fair delicate hands always give to those who possess them; and his, though empur pled with cold, were still extremely beautiful and most symmetrically shaped; his feet, too, ap peared well in spite of the old and worn boots that would have disfigured any, less small and hand some. As now and then, the sound of approach ing footsteps aroused the stronger, he would start and raise liis hand, as if about to extend it, or address the passer-by; but his voice and courage seemed to fail, and his hand would again fall to his side. A half hour passed and the young man still kept his position ; the throng that had been continually crowding into the theatre now grew less and less, and it seemed that all who were to attend that night had passed in. The youth heaved a deep sigh and hurried away as if about to depart; at that moment the sound of carriage wheels was heard, and then some persons ascend ed the marble steps that led to the entrance; the young man paused again, a few passionate mur mured words escaped his lips and his slight form shook as with an ague; he then averted his head, and as the people who had now reached the en trance passed him, he held out his hand, his fair, beautiful hand, and in a low, half suffocated voice, asked for charity. “ Charity,” echoed a mascu line voice in gruff, rude tones, “ you are a fine fellow to ask for charity; shame on your man hood, sir!” “ You are too harsh father,” replied a gentler voice. “ I think the poor man already feels the shame of beggary.” While the gentle man was engaged in purchasing a ticket, the lady who accompanied him turned back and ap proached the unfortunate being who had entreat ed alms; he was leaning against the door post in an attitude of despair, his face buried in his hands. The lady gazed at him in silence for a moment, and then replaced the coins she had taken from her purse, she extended the purse itself. “ Allow me to assist you, sir,” she said in a hesitating voice, for she perceived that the young man was no ordinary beggar; he raised his head with a start and grasped the purse quickly with a gush of eager thankful words; but as the donor, whose beautiful face had been fully revealed by the gas light, turned away, a change of feeling seemed to come over him; the silken purse with its golden clasps fell to the pavement with a sharp click, and an exclamation of mingled shame and anguish burst from the man’s lips. Presently he bent down and raised the lady’s gift, then pressing it to his lips, thrust it into his bosom and left the theatre. He hurried on rapidly till he had reached an obscure and unfrequented street, where he en tered a low, dark dwelling. The apartment into which he ushered himself was small and scantily furnished, and bore every evidence of extreme poverty. By the cold, fireless hearth sat a feeble old woman who had fallen asleep; the young man approached the sleeper, who was his mother, and gazed with a look of ineffable pity and affec tion on her poor, wrinkled face, which was full of calm, patient resignation. In the wan, shrunken hand which rested on her lap lay a small ciuci fix; the poor woman, even in age, poverty and want, clung to one hope, one promise which, like the Crocus, blooms in the darkest night . As the youth bent over his mother, a tear escaped from his gye and fell on her furrowed brow ; it awak ened her, and she recognized her son. “My poor boy,” she said, in a trembling voice. It is you, my mother, who should bo pitied, he ■ replied, clasj ing her aged form in his arms, and laj ing her worn, withered cheeks against his own which, in spite of poverty and want, was still fresh with the vigor of youth. “But mother mine,” he continued, in a tone of affected gayety, “we do not either of us need pity now—we are rich ” And he drew the purse from his bosom, and kneeling by his mother’s knee, counted out the contents on her lap. “One hundred dollars,” he exclaimed with de light and surprise. “ Where did you get all this money, my son” asked the moth r with spark ling eyes. “ Where did I get it—aye where did I get it,” he repeated in a quivering voice, laying his face in the folds of his mothers dress; a look cf terror and fear succeeded the gleam of tran sient joy that had lighted up the old woman’s face for a moment; at length she spake in a voice so agitated as scarcely to be audible, “ Edward, my son how did you come by this money?” “ Mother, mother, do not make me shame ‘your gi-ay hairs by telling you/-’ answered the youtli in an agonized voice. “Edmond, I command you to answer me,” said the old woman almost, sternly. “Then, if you will wring it from me, mother, I begged it.” “Thank God,” exclaimed the mother in a tone of relief, that you did not—“that you came by it honestly.” “ I begged it,” he continued bitterly, “and it was given me by a woman—think of that mother, a woman.” “God bless her,” .said ‘the parent earnestly. “ Aye, God bless tar,” respon ded the young man fervently; “but ah! mother, the shame and disgrace of beggary; and to think that I, a young, strong, athletic man, should beg, and of a woman; oh ! nothing but my moth er’s hunger and want could have driven me to it.” The mother soothed her son, and presently he forgot his shame in her wants; and arising, took one of the golden coins and went forth to pur chase food and fuel. When he returned, he made a fire and lighted candles, and then set be fore his mother a simple but inviting repast. That night, ere Edward Grey slept, he made an earnest vow before God, that if it was ever : in his power, he would repay that fair woman ten-fold for her timely gift—a gift that had saved his mother from starvation. For the Crusader. THE SCENE. Look ! Behold ! See that negro man lay down his axe ; leave the woodpile ; go out at a side gate ; where can he be going ? Why some man has driven his buggy, just in the rear, by the side of a little office, so he is going to him. He walks round the buggy, then back to the side. But what is it the man is doing ? he seems to be very busy in trying to get something from under his cloak. Look close, the negro approaches nearer; there, the man has got it, hands it to the negro, didn’t look quite close enough, couldn’t see what it w r as, but look again ; the negro bends kind of a flat ’bend over the foot of the buggy, and puts the article to his mouth and moves it up a little— can hardly tell what he is doing; now he is done, he gives it back to the man. Ah ! we saw it then. Yes, it was a— black bottle. Heputsitback in his pocket; wraps himself up ; turns his horse and drives of. The negro returns to his axe, look ing about, (rather sneakingly) to see if • any one had seen him. Shame ! Shame upon man. Is it possible that the white man is not satisfied in tak ing the poison himself ? Is it not enough for him to ruin his own soul and body ? Ah no I He must go to the poor negro and administer the poison to them ; yes even go to their homes, calling them from their labor to give them a drink. In doing of which he injures the negro and master. The former is made drunk ; carried to the cala boose ; must lie there all night; suffer from cold; next morning receive thirty-nine lashes, and is not able to work any that day. The latter must pay the fine and lose the. work. But that is not all ; the negro’s constitution is ruined, which makes him not so valuable. Stay thy hand, 0 man! Touch not the bottle. Give it not to the black iff an. Look well to thy ways, for all these things the Lord will bring thee into judgment. FEMME. Atlanta , Nov. 20 th, 1857. Burr was one of the most generous of men, and extremely fond of educating young people. Here is a curious story in illustration; “He was riding along in a curricle and pair, one day, during his senatorial term, when one of his horses lost a shoe ; and he stopped at the next blacksmith’s to have it replaced. It was a lonely country place, not far from Kingston, in Ulster County, New York. He strolled about while the blacksmith was at work, and, returning saw upon the side of the stable nearby a charcoal drawing of his own curricle and horses. Thejpic ture, which must have been executed in a very few minutes, was wonderfully accurate and spir ited, and he stood admiring it for some time.— Turning round, he noticed a boy a little way off, dressed in coarse homespun. “‘Who did that V inquired Burr, pointing to the picture. “ ‘I did it,’ said the boy. “The astonished traveler entered into conver sation with the lad, found him intelligent, though ignorant, learned that he was born in the neigh borhood, had had no instruction in drawing, and was engaged to work for the blacksmith six months. Burr wrote a few words on a piece of paper, and said as he wrote : ‘My boy, you are too smart a fellow to stay here all your life. If ever you should want to change your employmont and see the world, just put a clean shirt into your pocket, go to New York, and go straight to that address,’ handing the boy the paper. “He then mounted his curricle and was out of sight in a moment. Several months passed away and the circumstance had nearly faded from the busy senator’s recollection. As he was sitting at breakfast one morning, at Richmond Hill, a ser vant put into his hand a small paper parcel, say ing that it was brought by a boy who was waiting outside. “Burr opened the parcel, and found a coarse, country-made clean shirt. Supposing it to be a mistake, he ordered the boy to be shown in.— Who should enter but the Genius of the Road side, who placed in Burr's hand the identi cal piece of paper he had given him. The lad was warmly welcomed. Burr took him into his family, educated him, and procured him instruc tion in the art which nature had indicated should be the occupation of his life-time. Afterward, Burr assisted him to Europe where he spent five years in the study of painting, and became an ar tist worthy of the name. “While Burr himself was wandering in Europe, Vanderlyn was exhibiting pictures in the Louvre, at Paris, and receiving from Napoleon a gold med al, besides compliments and felicitations from the emperor’s own lips. Vanderlyn did all he could for his benefactor in Paris ; but unhappily he had the successful artist’s usual fortune—poverty em bittered by glory. He afterward had commissions from Congress, and painted the well-known Land ing of Columbus for a panel in the rotunda of the Capitol at Washington. He also painted the por traits of Colonel Burr and Theodosia from which the engravings were taken by which their linea ments are now known to the public. Vanderlyn died only five years ago at Kingston, near the spot where he drew .the charcoal sketch which decided his career. Alcyone—M. Handler, the author of th* recent investigations with reference to the central sun, lias long been known to tlie astronomical world as the successor of M. Struve in the direction of the observatory at Dorpat. His computations of the orbital movements of the double stars have given to him a deservedly high celebrity ; and the great theory which he has propounded is .only given to the world after along and patiqnt exam-, ination, extending through many years. Assum ing Alcyone as the great centre of the millions of stars composing our astral system, and the di rection of the sun’s motion, as determined by Argelander and Struve, he investigates these consequent movements of all the stars in every quarter of the heavens. Just where the swiftest motions should be found there they ac tually exist, which demonstates either the truth of tlie theory, or exhibits the most remarkable and incredible coincidences. After a profound examination Maedler reaches the conclusion, that Alcyone, the principle star in the group Ple iades, now occupies the centre of gravity, and is at present the sun about which,the universe of stars composing our astral system are all revolv ing. —Scientific American .

The high-born soul Disdains to rest her heaven-aspiring wing Beneath its native quarry. Tired of earth And this diurnal scene, she springs aloft, Through fields of air pursues the flying storm; Rides on the volley’d lightning through the heavens; Or, yok’d with wnirlwinds and.the northern blast, Sweeps the long track of day. ’ Then high she soars The blue profound, and hovering o’er the sun, Beholds him pouring the redundant stream Os light; beholds his unrelenting sway Bendthe reluctant planets to absolve The fated rounds of time. Thence far effused She darts her swiftness up the long career Os devious comets; through its Exulting circles the perennial wheel Os nature, and looks back on all the stars, Whose blended light, as with a milky zone, Invests the orient. Now amazed she views The empyreal waste, where happy spirita hold Beyond this concave heaven, their calm abode; And fields of radiance, whose unfading light a Has travelled the profound six thousand years, Nor yet arrived in sight of mortal things, .i Even on the barriers of the world untired She meditates the eternal depth below ; Till half recoiling, down the headlong steep She plunges; soon o’erwhelmed ana swallowed up In that immense of being. There her hopes. Rest at the fated goal. Far from the birth Os mortaL man, the sovereign maker said,* That not in humble or in brief delight, Not in the fading echoes of renown, Power’s purple robes, nor pleasure’s flowery lap, The soul should find enjoyment; but from these. Turning disdainful to an equal good. Through all the ascent of things enlarge her view, Till every bound at length should disappear, And infinite perfection close the scene.— Akenside. INTRODUCTION TO AN ALBVN. List, Maiden, to the bard who weaves The first poetic wreath to deck ’ This beauteous volume, whose bright leaves Are yet unsullied by a speck! Oh, mark him well! for,maiden, thou, So spotless, beautiful and bright, Art like this virgin volume now : But what .ye’ll both be—time must write. Oh, could the bard’s fond prayer be heard,* Thy book of life, as well as this, Should not contain one gloomv word, ♦ t But be replete with love and bliss! s And thou should’st in a green old age, When retrospection views them o’er, Cull sweets from every beaming page, Replete with love and mingled lore f • But, maiden, it may not be so: I For what, alas, is life at best, But mingled scenes of joy and woe— Now wholly wretched, now half blessed! And at morlfcnty’s near close, When every thought on heaven is bent, How few enjoy the calm repose, Attendant on a life well spent! Time soon these snowy leaves will stain With feelings, thoughts, hopes, wishes, fears— Some trac’d in mirth, more trac’d in pain, Those wreath’d with smiles, these bath’d in tears: So in man’s book of life ’tis will’d, That lights and shades alternate blend, Till the last leaf be feebly fill’d, And Death’s cold hand affix “ The End.” The Widow of Omar Pasha.—Several French journals having announced the presence in Par is of the divorced wife of Omar Pasha, the follow ing details of her career are given in the Patrie : “She was born at Reps, in Transylvania, and was sent at the age of eleven to one of the best boarding schools in Bucharest. Some lessons on the piano developed wonderful musical powers, and at the age of fifteen she possessed a remark able talent on that instrument. It was at that period that Omar Pasha, who then was the mili tary commandment of Wallachia, rafctthe young lady at a soiree, and being very fond of music fell in love with her, and subsequently married her. She was then compelled to sumbit to Mttesulman habits ; the Christian became quite a Khanoun (Turkish woman,) never left the house except veiled and attended ; but, contrary to oriental habits, accompanied her husband in his warlike expeditions. She was greatly delighted with the glory of his arms, and composed triumphal mar ches, which were played by the Turkish regiments when in battle. The only child born from this marriage having died from an accident, Omar Pasha hoped by anew union to have “an heir, and, perhaps, also to attach himself to the old Turkish party, and he therefore demanded in marriage the daughter of Hafiz Pasha, its chief. “Remain in the harem,” he said to his wife ; but she was too proud to accept a condition so un worthy of her, and demanded a divorce, which was granted, and she has come to an honorable asylum in France. This lady is only about twen ty-three years of age. She contemplates giving public concerts in Paris, and it is said that she would, had it not been for the interference of Lady Canning, have made London the scene of her performances. _ A Mysterious Wedding.— Hymen in a Hotel.— A cool matrimonial affair took place at the Walnut Street House on Sunday evening. About six o’- clock, a minister called upon the proprietor and stated that he made an appointments© marry a couple at that hour in the parlor of the- hotel.— The landlord knew of no one in the establishment who was matrimonially inclined. Not a soul a bout the house had “declared their intentions” of anything so desperate. The minister began to think he had been humbugged—that he had been made the dupe of some practical'joker, and began to feel quite uncomfortable at his position. Half an hour rolled around, and, the minister was about taking his departure, when the side door bell rang, and a gentleman and lady made their appearance. At the d6or of the ladies’ parlor they were met by the minister. Without saying a word the eouple walked into the parlor where two or three guests were assembled, the lady coolly took off her bonnet and shawl, pinned on a collar at the looking glass nodded to the gentleman, who immediately placed himself at her side, andin less time than we have taken to tell so much of the story, they were pronounced man and wife and had departed. No one knew who they were. The minister had their names, but he was as much in the dark as any one else, be yond the usual information conveyed by amarriage license. They came on foot, and left in the same way. The lady was young and very pretty, and the gentleman genteel appearing. Not pver five minutes elapsed from the time of their, arrival at the Walnut, to their departure from the bouse. There was a mystery about the whole affair, that gaveit an air of romance. Was it arunawaymatch resorting to this method of accomplishing their hy menial the knowledge Os parents or guardian ? Had any breakfast table in town one less familiar face yesterday morning, whose absence was unexplained. * ttffk-You cannot fathom your mind. .There is a well’of thoughtrthere which has no bottom.
