THE HEAP BABES.
BY C1IAHI.E9 HOLDEN.
1 wasabrnod early. Tho morning lighl had
not yet broken from the chambers of the caul.
All natuiaJitmbored with a stillness as profouml
ns that which follows in the train of death. N«>
sound fell upon my ear from all the wide andjmo
tinniest world around mo, save that heavy bool
ofsea.Mit rolled in am) snout Us surge upon
•Joran’spoint,* near wiiich 1 stnod I had aiixi
ion sly watched for the breaking of day. A
superstition* feeling had come over me; in the
j ravulikti stillness around, it seemed ns though
le earth was unpeopled—that in all its vast and
beautiful expanse. I ‘was tho last man.’ I ima
gined the funeral ofthe wtfrld was at hand; and
as those superstitious grow more vivid, and a*-
sitmod more power over me, I thought I re
cognised in tho heavy roll of the sea, as it came
tumbling in and broke upon the ledges of lesser
Island, a solemn and most appropriato requiem
for its burial. Tho association was beyond de<n
criptinn sublime and stand; and were it not for
the fear that possessed me, I could have revelled
in a scene so sombre, and yet so eloquent.
I (was with emotions of real joy—such as they
oiEy know who have felt the tear of undefi nnblu
da nger suddenly removed by tho appearance of
friends and the assurances of safety, that 1 dis
covered even the flickering of a dim light, from
the window of a house near the'point.’ The
curtain was thrown partly aside, so that it would
seem the first glimmerings of day light might be
obvious to the sleepers who reposed within.
My mind was in a perturbed state; and although
a solitary light in the mindst of universal gloom,
had in some ineasuro soothed me, I was still
prone to magnify all I saw and heard into cause
of alarm, or as the consequence of danger. I
could not imagine why that feeble light was left
burning within that chamber; there was perhaps
no reafeause for surprise at this. It was no un
common occurrence, that tho feeble and uncer
tain rays of tiie night lamp should be teen in
different directions during the daikness of night.
And yet I could not shake off the impression
which lnd fastened upon me that this light was
ominous ofsickue**, danger, or perhaps of death!
Might it not be burning by the couch of a sick
husband! and did it not reflect the pale and care
worn visage of some fond wife, as she patiently
4 watched beside him? Peradveuture nature had
become exhausted by her solitary nursing, and
•he sunk into a deep sleep—and lie whom she
loved and nursed, might even ba in his last
agony! The startling and aupulljitg thought had
’ hardly passed my mind when I was hurrying
forward to assist the dying man! '^here may be
no ttekness there, said I mentally, as I slackened
my pace, and why should I intrude upon the
privacy ofthe family upon my vague supposi*
tion of danger? I turned to proceed homeward:
yet an ex*r*qrdinary anxiety slid haunted me
- 1 turned again toward the window; the light was
obscured by soine r opnquo body. In a moment
it again shone clearly; un inmate ofthe chamber
had passed between it and the window; the pro
portions ofthe form were so slender and grace
ful* that l know it was a female whom l bad
seen. The uctions wero thosn of a female who
watches at the bedside of the sick, when she has
cause to move about. Every step was taken
with precaution. The very attitude ofthe body
'Was that which would produce the least possible
noise.
* I was in a measure satisfied. There was sick i
ncss'in that chamber. But who was the sufferer?
Was it an adult tint was wasting tinder some
mortal disease? or was it an infantT The fe
male that I saw was a mother. Tiiere was
that in her manner even, by which ono who
w«i an observer ofthe inanfestations of affection,
could have said,'that woman lias pressed her
child to her bosom ' Were her vigils held over
m husband or child? If over a husband might
sho not he alone, excepting him that was sick,
and her babes? And might he not have grown
suddenly worse .while no one was near him to coll
for assistance save her who feared to leave him?
—Ought 1 not to offer my assistance to procure
medical aid? Every day charity seemed to die
tale I should., Still undeceived what to do, 1
crossed the narrow street, and drew nearer to
the house Then for the first lime,I discover,
cd that the window of the chamber was raised
a litlfo way. Here was a clue by which to as
certain tho disease of the sufferer. Doubtless
. he w»s2 laboring under the burning beat of a
fever, and the kind angel, that hovered about
bHrestless pillow, had raised the window, that
the pure and cooling breath of (he morning
might sweep over his parched lip and brow. 1
listened, ll is so still, i thought if he sleeps,
I shall hear his deep breathing, ns he tosses
about in his uneasy slumbering. All was still;
there was not n solitary sound throughout un
11 «*• kingdom, as far J us the scope of her ear ex
t-.n led, save the incessant and iiiunot -nous wail
ofihc water. 1 turned again towards home,
with a benevolent curiosity yet unsahsfWd.
I had proceeded but a few steps, when the
low moanofn child fell upon my ear. It was
such u muau us a child is sometimes forced to
Utter when sickness lias prostratod its lender
f owers, and it is about to die. I heard it again!
t struck upon my heart with a more appalling
power than the wildest shriek man could give!
TIiim moans wore followed by a deep drawn
aigh—such a sigh os might come from the in
most fountains of a mother’s love, when sho
•aw before her eyo< her little ouo in the very
agony of death, wilh no power to save, and no
fortim is to relinquish it. That sight, and tho
monnofthe child were so full of language, 1
learned tho whole story from them. Volumes
would not hive rendered it more intelligible.
It could be told in two short sentence-: ‘A child
was dying, a mother was agonizing in bitter
ness over it.’
I went homo that morning with a heavy
heart. The sun shone out mildly and beauti
fully—nature looked as lovely nsiliougli it wero
her bridal morn—and the birds twittered their
"•Mgs oC praise as gratefully as though they
knew ‘tho hand that made them was divine.'
But I could not rejoice. I knew that, although
the spirit of innocence was passing from earth
to heaven, a molli u r’s heart was swelling with
ngnny, becaiiBo sho was bereaved of that little
chorub.
It wos not till two or three days after the time
just spoken of, that I again walked towards tho
•Point.' It way a pleasant and quiet afternoon.
The pleasant wators of the Casco Bay looked
like ti broad field of glass, they were so passive
ill tlioir beauty. The visions of that morning
freshened in my memory us 1 approached the
scene. A collection of people was about the
house, os my eves rested on it. The sabjed
hearse was at the tlenu it was apparent that
ftiiiar.il xolmmiitieg wore about to bo performed.
Alas! thought lrdie last comfort of die mother
■ is about lo be taken from her sight, and bo ein
bumined in yonder prpmontnry! Mow I pity
her desolation! Could I not press through the
crowd, and take one look at tho object of her
love, before - they closed tho colli i lid forever?
Thognnp gnvo way in respectful silence. 1 pass,
ed into tho chamber of rjemh. Tnd coffin re*ted
upon the table in ilia middle of the room. The
immniorssi t weeping nrofjnd. i uncovered
my huud With u feeling of owe, as I pressed
'onvn^d t« look wld.iHhat uarro\? liouie. J
u\ oatly had in my tniltd’s eye the little face, and
the'toWod eye uti l the iimuimato, yet lovely ex
pression of the denr Imho. But tho blood rush
ed from my heart with nipple vel-»ciiy—»u op*
predion like that of so flu canon tamo upon me
—I boenmo powerless as an infant, at n sight
that came nigh blasting, for a moment my vision,
as ( looked^Vithm that coffin! T'vu us beauti
ful b lio.s as over uncln<ed their eyelids to ^the
morning light,lay tlioieiu, cold in death! Two
ns sweat little imiucenl* ns ever clung around a
mother's neck, onraptured a mother’s heart, or
caused a father's to boat with a prouder impulse
— lay side by side in tlioir grnvo clothes uoatl!
Their little faces wero upturned to heaven,
whither their spirits had flown. Oil I it was
heart ronding evon to n sirunger. It was a con
templation at which angola might have w«|ft'—•
As I Mood at the coffin’s head, I could not for
my life suppress the teats that would giisli from
my eyes. How easily now could l account for
that heart rending sigh which fell upon my ear.
as I passed this way n faw mornings before!
how easily for thn great assemblage of people
that had pressed to witness the obsequies of
these children, ll was indeed a spectacle that
few eyes had ever looked upon—two liule cher*
libs lying dead in ono coffin, and about la be in*
(erred in ono grave! and they tho only children
of their parents.
I turned away front the narrow bed # of these
babes exceedingly sorrowing. My heart ached
for their mother. They wero her all, and they
were dead—both of them had peri-hod together.
Her house had become de<olalo. Their inno
cent prattle no longer echoed through the
rooms—their meiry and careless laugh no longer
rung within its halls. The atillne«8 of the tomb
pervaded it. The only sound which, in her re
tirement, she now hoard, was the hollow echo of
her own foetsteps, as she went mourning about.
As I walked slowly away from this scene of
bereavement, 1 thought how appropriately and
feelingly, upon this occasinn.could the childless
mother echo the foilow-itig touching lines from
the peu of a female poet;
There is none.
In all this cold and hollow world, no fount
Ofdeep, strong, deathless love,save that within
A mother’s heart. Yon ne’er made
Your breast.the pillow of ihoir infancy,
While to the fulness of your heart’s glad heav
ing*,
Tlioir fair cliecks,rose and fell; and their bright
hair.
Waved softy to your breath! You ne’er kept
watch
Beside them till the last pale star had set,
And morn, all dazzling, as in triumph broke
On your dull, weary eye. Not yours the faco
Which early faded through fond Cirs fo* th*!!!,
Hung o’er their sleep and duly ns heaven’s light
Was there to greet their wakening. You ne’er
smoothed
Their couch—nor sang them to their rosy rest;
Caught their least wfli^per, when their voice
from yours
Had learned soft utterance; pressed your lips;
to theirs
When fevers parched them, hushed their way
ward ciic*
With patient, vigilant, nnn-wearied love!
No! these are woman’s tasks!

t hi Mercury of yesterday :
“We have born ussurid on the authority of a
gentleman just from St. Augustine, that theie

that city, and that among all but old residents,
tho typo of tho disuuse has been very mahg-
mill.”
SUSPENSION IN CINCINNATI.
Tho Cincinnati papors of the lfitli Init. an*
nonce the suspension sf nil tho banks of that city
except the Commercial. Ruin stares the hanks
of Ohio in the face whether they, suspond or
not. The last Loco Foco Legislature of the*
state passed n law in relation to tho hanks ini*
posing the severest penalities in case of their
suspension. The state t\ow is entirely in tho
hands of tho Loco Focos; let’s see what they
will* do. We copy the following (says the Bui*
timore Chronicle) from the Cincinnati Gazette.
OHIO BANKS—RUIN EITHER WAY.
Tito suspension of specie payments in the
Atlantic cities, must be followed by a general
suspension. Thu banks that continue lo p'ny
o ill bu drained nf their coin in a very shot (time,
by that process.—And, in Ohio, suspension is
uiteuted with still moro serious consequences.
Bv tiie bank ng law of lust session, February
lo, 1839, provision is made, that if any bank of
the state, suspeud specie payments, for a longer
term than tliiity days* in any one year: thepiei
•idem judge of the court of Common Pleas
Circuit* tti which the'bnuk is tnmute shall issue
a wilt, for ft tho sequestration of such bank and,
through tho she rift, deliver tti! its effects to ons
or more oftho bank commissioners. The com
missioner is required to proceed immediately to
collect tho debts due tho bank and dispose of its
properly, and apply the proceeds to the pay-
mem of its debts, for which purposes special
commissioner may be appointed by the piim
ci pa I hoard.
We believe the provisions of this law mo
peremptory. The Bank commissioner must ap
ply to the judge, who mirst order the sequestra
tion. It is thus ilia; tho Ohio banks are exposed
lu utter ruiu either way. If they continue to
pay specie till their last dollar is gone, thou the
sequestration must come. If they surrender, at
mice, the cotuiUHsiouer must pay out the specie
to the first that inakes'dutnaiid— so that nil the
specie in our banks is exposed to distribution
in a very short time: and till their debtors are
liable to forced payments, without delay. Noth*
ing can save the banks mid bank debtors but an
ability to continue specie pay inents by the bjnks.
From this devastating ruin there sooins to be
no other escape. Nono but one is prncticur
bio, u special call of the Logi-dnture, within the*
thirty days, to modify tins law. The wide
spread destruction of business and property,
that the law must work, in Ohio, particulaily,
is sufficient to vindicate this cull, noiwiilistand.

and the ruling powers, nil the subject of banks-

Since tho largo business of last week the mart
kot has been rather qiliot, though a tolerably
fair business has been done, as the sales amoiiut
to near G(K)l) halos, at prices semewhat irregu
lar, but not dupaitiug so decidedly from our
rnngc of quotations as to warruul us in altering
our figures. Most of the orders in inaiket are
said lo bo limitod below the current rates, but
holders gouornlly remain firm, though in some
few instances sales have been mude on terms
n little more favorablo to the buyer. Tho do
main! is confined, principally, to the higher
qualities—snv from fair to good and fine.

this inferiority may^be accounted for from the
fact that it was rout to market immediately af

Very limitod demand for the consumption of tho
