Bates called and bade her an affectionate
adieu, and she was soon on her way hume.
The evening of the following day brought
her to the arms of her fond parents and
man? youthful friends, who received her
with a joyous welcome:; 1 was one
of that happy circle; we had gjrown
up together, fiom our earliest infancy;
our parants were but next door neighbors,
and the tie of our infantile years, seemed
as that of brother and sister; again I pres
sed that glowing cheek, now blooming in
the ripening graces of youth and suttused
with the burning blush of female delica
cy; 1 caught the pensive eye —I saw the
starting tear, but then, having no know
ledge of the circumstances here detailed,
I could not penetrate the cause. Her fond
parents supposing it the effect of leaving
so many kind school-mates with whom sin
had associated for several years, made no
enquiries, expecting soon to see her re
cover her accustomed cheerfulness and
vivacity.
Soon after Juliet returned home, a
young gentleman from a distant vi llage.
who was visiting a friend at F hap
pened to see ami was introduced to Ju
liet. in the family where he visited; h
saw her then but a moment, hut was im
mediately struck with her beauty and
modest demeanor. After she was gone
he eagerly enquired who she was and tin
circumstances of her family and connex
ions. He was so much pleased with tin
result of his enquiries, as to prolong
his visit, and determined, if possible, to
make her his wife.
Through the assistance of his friend,
he wa* introduced into the family of Mi
Lturens. He was of the legal professioi
ami his name was not unknown to them
being a citiz°n of the same county, an
residing about twenty miles distant. Hi
profession, usually honorable, was a guar
antee for his fair character, and he so> r
saw his attentions to miss Laurens was ri>
displeasing to her parents. She receive
him with modest politeness, but carefull
though firmly repulsed every attempt t
pav her an unusual or marked attention
Attributing this to that modest reser\
which belongs to the female character, h
soon took his leave, determining, withii
a few days, to m ke hei another visit.
About two weeks afterwards, Mr. Doug
lass, (for that was the young gentleman
name,) called on his second visit to Jo
liet, ami having formally asked the leav*
of her parents to visit her, readdv obtain
ed their consent. Not so with Juliet—a
soon as he made known to her the objei
of his visit and requested her to allow him
an opportunity of paying his addresses
until time and h devoted attention would
allow her to judge the sincerity of In
heart and devotedness of his atachmen’
she frankly assured him, she could not
yield him such an opportunity—that u
would be criminal to delude him with
anticipations which he could nev* r rea
lise, and beg’d he would never again men
tion such a subject to her. Douglass was
astonished with this pr ompt and signified
dismissal, the cause of which, he could
not divine; he saw no re ason to suppose it
arose from a prior attaohmenS her being
yet so young,and being but lately return
ed from school, precluded such a proba
bility. Thinking, however, that time and
the favoiv.ble impres-.iou of her parents
towards him might produce a c hange pro
pitious to his wishes, he left her, intend
ing to renew his visit at an earlv period.
EUGENIO.
(To be concluded in the next number.)
From the Macon Telegraph.
An esteemed correspondent in Tal
bot county, has communicated to us
the following melancholy occurence,
which we prefer giving to our readers
in his own language •
Talbot County , 23c? July, 1828.
Dear-Sir; While engaged in opening a
new road yesterday in this neighborhood,
we were passed by two stout footman
(having a small dog and a rifle gun,)
whom I afterwards ascertained were fa
ther and son, of the name of Rodgers, who
lived near Barnes’s Store in Pike county
and by prfession were well diggers.
Shortly aftor passing us, there came up a
thunder cloud, and the travellers took
shelter undar the trunk of a pine tree near
the road. The tree was struck by
lightning, which fired off the gun, knock
ed down the travellers and killed the
dog. The old man rose and helped up
his son after receiving the then
fell and expired on the body of ‘.he dog.
When we approached, we found young
Rodgers seated with his back against the
tree, and his lather a corpse before him;
The survivor is considerably burnt by
the lightning, but uo doubt will recover
without much injury.
We thought that the administration
presses had exhausted the vocabulary
of abuse notwithstanding their fertili
ty of invention, until we met with
the following arti- le. To what
lengths will desperation lead!
C APPING THE CLI M AX.
Extract of a letter from a gen.! man in
Cincinnati, to the Editor of the People’s
Press, dated July 18, 1828.
“One of the basest and nost mali
cious articles, y-l fabricated by the
Administration tribe, is now said to
be in the oflice of Mr. Hammond.
It purports to be a correct account of
Gen. Jackson's lineage, and states
that his mother was a common pros
titute that came to this country with
the British soldiers—afterwards mar
ried a MULATTO MAN, by whom
she had several children, of which
number GEN. JACKSON IS ONE!!!
Phis statement is certified bv one
w
Hubs, or Rogers, I am not certain
.vieh. Is it not a luile ominous, that
t new slander precedes each visit of
Vlr . Clav to the Wes;? -It certainly
s calculated to excite suspicion, if
nothing more. f l his caps the whole
series of falsehoods promulgated by
lie friends of Mr. Adams, and is a
prcimcM of di'prav it,, beyond vvhici
there is no example in the annals of
kiuericati t le* ii.<us.”
I have not a word of comment to
nake on the above, further than to
.ay, that if Mr. Hammond denies
tvingsuch a document in his posses
pun, I am authorized to give op
esponsihle name as my correspon
ient.—Ed. O. P. Press .

What fool can’t shave himself? a monkey

And in a moment took the brush in

And lathering well his phiz from side to

He siezed the razor and in haste began,

and flinch'd again;
(For Jam’s beard was very coarse in

But still he grinn’d and scratch’d, and

Till ali his face began to ache aw

F.r sure I am that what most men have

As might be plainly seen in his ap

But yet he always laughed when he re

And said, ’twas all by perseverance,
