K ATRINA SCli U V L E R. A TALE OF THE TIMES OF CHARLES 11. By the anther of Normon Leslie. Concluded. In a gorgeously furnished apartment of the roy al palace, tlie heartless and ungrateful young inon areh stood coldly turned a .nay f otn a kneeling sup pliant. It was Morton, -no longer arrayed m the modest garment oi a needy artist, but glittering in tiie gay dress of a proud cavalier. ‘1 protest to your grace,, cried the kneeling youth, ‘that no slave ever served his master with so true and zealous a heart as 1 have toiled for you* majesty. 1 have exhausted argument and entreaty. 1 have sworn myself forsworn ; I have called every oath to my aid that 1 acted but as your friend, and that my own soul ever has been, and is irrevocably another’s. Vainly 1 have striven. Flic is indignant, outraged aud m vmcible. The splendors oi a throne have no more dazzle for her heavenly mind than the humblest flower-wreathed cot in England. Against your majesty she pours out such fiery scorn, such scotching contempt, as nought but my own eyes could convince me had ever lurked in the suit bo som of such a dove ! I fear your grace has at length found that fabled creature—a woman en throned in her own virtue, infinitely above the reach of avarice, vanity, or ambition.’ •Colonel Lovelace’ said the sovereign, with a quiet sneer, ‘lias rendered liiinseit too attractive in the eves of beauty. Henceforth, 1 shall choose more appropriate messengers. Wore you, my «m successful in enterpriz.es of war, as in those of love, your powers would claim our more cordial approbation.’ ‘My sovereign,’ cried the youthful soldier, stung to the quick by this allusion to a certain ill-fated attempt for whi< li he was noted before the restora tion, and reddening to the top of his ample "brow: T can but disclaim the suspicious which your maiestv has been pleased to insinuate, and to hope that your majesty will no longer retain in your service one whom you cannot either love or trust.’ ‘You are the master, my lord, of your own ac tions,’ said the king. ‘ You may come and go with out hindrance front me. it was your own oiler to present'to me this obstinate Dutch wench, who, by’r lad.v, might deem hci dtoi blood honored by a touch of our hand. -As for the insolent dame who guards her, bv (toil’s life, sue shall feel our anger, and Ivl the saucy young tiling herself beware lest our patience be too ?i rely tried. For vou, Sir, should you fancy other climes mere at tractive, than our foggy island—a threat w inch we understand has mor. than once f.tiien from your lips, vou can seek them at your earliest leisure.— The'king of England can yet govern Ills people, and peradventiu-e win tire fealty of loyal men, and even tile favors of lovely women, though his army and court lie unenriclied with the j resettle of co lonel Lovelace.’ The youth, lofty as twenty kings, fire gleaming from his dark, large eyes, and crimsoning his man ly cheek, his heart bursting with grief, rage, shame, apprehension and mothered love, aud the scorching insult ot ins master f -it burningly through till, unbelted the sword from Lis thigh, and laid it i.t silence upon the table. At length, with a voice tremulous with d< ip, yet mastered passion, lie found calmness to say : T understand your grace. '1 he sword which has leaped forth gladly to the light in your sacred c.m.-e, with tiie bloo I of vour enemies sca e - wiped from its blade, lies before you, masterless aud idle.’ ‘lTetter thus,’ said Charles, coldly, ‘than by the side of- .’ lie paused; and the youth’s heart feit like -ice in his bosom. ‘Enough of this, Sir,’ at length resumed flic sovereign; ‘vour departure is your own choice, not ours. But hearkye! colonel Lovelace, as to the blue eyed Hollander, 1 will have no tampering, no plotting with her. Aspire not to her love.— Seek not even her presence. W e will ourself un dertake the task of melting her obduracy. Mark me , Sir. Meet her not. Look not on her— speak not—nav, dream not of her, or,’ and he as sumed a sterner air, and made a motion with his linger across his throat—‘that high head of yours mv lord, shall be humbled, as those cl your bet ters have been before you. Enough, ’Fir. IJegone, we would be alone.’ The youth bowed so low that his features were hid 1 -n from his master’s gaze, and then withdrew. But the veins of Percy never boiled with hotter blood. ‘Not dream of her ?’ echoed the panting lover— ‘By Earth. By Heaven! Is it for this 1 have been a tool, a slave— a panderer ? Accursed be the King. Let lightning strike him! Ever be his false breast the throne of fear and mis ry. Be tempest* around his head, and volcanos beneath his feet. May treachery attend his every step, and torture ma'rk his every hour. Let his fame rest only on his nation’s hatred, and, long ere he mn the Natural circle of his life, oh may the thirs ty blade of midnight assassin, no baser—no more cruel than himself, drink the foul blood of his en venomed heart, and be the deed hailed ami sancti fied with the praises of all mankind !’ .... lie paused, aud as his high cinder subsided, tears, scalding tears, leaped to his eyes and fell up on the turt. . ‘Kate too, my gentle, rpy beautiful, mv adored.

Yes, I will meet acr.' Wrapping, therefore, around him the folds of a eloak, which he had hastily seized ere he rushed forth upon his mad design, he proceeded, scarcely breathing for the tumultuous beating of his heart, to the abode of Katrina, lie entered. The very hand of death seemed to strike hitn as he procee ded. The well known apartments were abandon ed. ' A peasant rudely informed him that the fam ily had disappeared, no one knew whither. Not a letter; not a note; not a word of parting. Tiie flow ers she cultivated—the vines she nursed and loved, still bloomed upon the garden wall. But Kate was gone. Whither had she disappeared ? Had site lied? Had she perished ? The King!—At this dreadful thought, rendered more fiendishly fright ful by his perfect knowledge of liis cruel and licen tious master, the distracted and guilty youth felt his brain reel, and with a ghastly look at the spot where last he had seen her tearful eyes directed reproachfully towards him, he fell senseless upon the ground. It was several years after the incidents above re lated, in the mouth of August, 16C-4, that three armed vessels, hoisting the (lag of England, floa ted slowly into the harbor of New York, then in possession of the Dutch. Only fifty-five years had rolled away since Hudson had, for the first tune, entered the bay, and explored the river. Since that period, the Dutch had once lost and regained possession of this beautiful country, which they now quietly enjoyed under a grant made by the States’ General. Van Twillcr, Keift, and Stuy vesant —names (alas! for their sterling virtues,) now consecrated only to the lovers of humor and laughter, aud resigned in turn, and the last now guided the affairs of the peaceful and lovely set tlement—a tranquil village, a rural retreat, shelter ed from the earthquakes of the Europen world. To this little abode the arm of tyranny seemed scarcely able to reach, and here had lied, from priestly and kingly wrath, many that were noble, brave, and lovely, cheerfully abandoning the great world, for domestic hnppinees and political safety a.id liberty. The peaceful citizens, who scarcely knew the meaning of the three warlike intruders, were too soon informed that Charles •!., the sel fish and dastardly monarch of Great Britain, had sent these messengers of death, to deprive of Kb ■ rty, even the iiappy and harmless habitants of this remote corner of the globe. The town surren dered, and New Amsterdam from that time assu med the name of New York. Colonel Nichols, the cotmnauder of the expedition, having satisfac torily arranged the preliminaries of the treaty, lan ded with n party of men, and otic confidential offi cer as a companion. They were respectfully quartered in one of the beat mansions of the town, and the hospitable family, however coolly disposed to regard the instruments of their unjustifiable subjugation, still extended to tiie two distinguished officers, everv mark of respect arid attention, Col. Nichols, absorbed in the in * rue of his vespot s. Iri I tes, yielded himself up to his official cares and duties, while his companion, a noble aud manly youth, whose prepossessing appearance soon won him a welcome, was left at leisure to amuse him self by examining the strange country, to him so contrasted with the luxurious elegance of Lon don. j’he stranger was of a deportment sad and gentle. An air of melancholy marked him for one thoughtful beyond his years. Tiie opulent citizen of whose h*s pitality lie partook, had awarded to hitn a large room, leading into a parin', and thence a small, but well stocked library, and here lie was wont to spend his hours, during the week of his sojourn, when fatigued from his long rambles.— One day, seated in this secluded retreat, the mas ter of the dwelling, with a respectful knock, ap plied for admission, and addressed his guest: ‘You must excuse me, sir. I am a plain man, and an old man; but 1 mean well. 1 perceive that you are of a solitary turn of mind, and 1 have therefore thought you most preferred being left to yourself—otherwise 1 should have oftener sought your company.’ ‘lndeed, my kind friend,’ replied the soldier, ‘I highly appreciate the politeness and delicacy of vour motive, and perhaps. 1 have been selfish ami rude in my retirement. In truth, 1 have scarcely been presented to your family.’ ‘Why, no, sir; no: and thatwasmy business her . My wife, you must know, has a wedding here to night, and nothing will serve but you must be in vited. I told her the gentleman doubtless cares nothing about us; and our little hopes, and fears, and weddings, and all that. Ilow should you, sir, a great traveller; and they say also a great lord.’ ‘You do me injustice, my kind sir. 1 will with pleasure attend tiie festival, and the happy pair w ill possess no sincerer well-wisher than myself. \ ottr daughter, I presume.’ ‘Yes, sir: no, sir; that is; not exactly. We love her like a daughter, sir. But she is only an adopted one; a kind of ward, your lordship.’ ‘Well, in either case, present my best congrat ulations. 1 will attend with pleasure.’ ‘Ah, 1 hear her voice; and there is my son, the bridegroom, too. He is coining in. My sou, your lordship.’ The usual obeisances were paid. The garru -1 us old father withdrew. The bridegroom con versed a few moments, with such calm self-posses sion, as implied a peaceful and happy mind, lie was a plain but fine looking youth, evidently with out much’refinement of personal manners; but still, about him, there was something which, com manded respect. His eye was bold and unflinch ing, and his manner that of one who feared noth ing hut doing wrong. As he withdrew, a female voice of musical sweetness, half murmuring a low air, caught the ear of the stranger with a magical effect, lie turned quickly. It was repeated. He reased to breathe, and a paleness, as if he were a bout to swoon, crossed liis features; but l:e re mained firm and erect. The door opened. A levelv form darted into the room: a face of sweet- i ness never to be mistaken or forgotten. She star ted ; a glow of joyful surprise flushed the stran ger’s, cheeks, as he exclaimed, ‘lt is; it is Katri ne ! /’ Ami those once impassioned lovers, whose nuns had been interwreathed, w hose lips had met, who had felt the beatings of each other's hearts, stood now distant, separated, silent. Seas—years had been between them. At length Lovelace, trembling with a feeling, half agony, half rapture, approached and knelt. ‘Morton,’ cried his once fond mistress, pale, but with a c Tones, that rung the knell of his hopes, ‘rise ; you kneel to the wife of another.’ lie clasped his hands. ‘Kate, I still love you. 1 can explain all. Years of repentance.’ ‘Sir, said the girl haughtily, and, as she spoke, every vestige of embarrassment disappeared, ‘mis take'me not again. Kneel not, nor assume the language of a lover. lam this day to become the bride of another. He and his virtuous father know my past life,even to that frnitfu peril in which v< a involved me. Beware, sir, lest they recognize in you the profligate w hom I have taught them to hate.’ ‘1 confess; I tremble; I repent;’ murmured the abashed libertine. ‘Mr. Morton,’ rejoined she, ‘if that be your name, let us quietly understand each other. You met iu ine an inexperienced and idle girl. I lov «d you.’ ‘Dearest Kate!’ ‘But 1 loved what I thought you u-ere, not what you are! When your true character was betray ed, that instant, love perished, and gave place to indignation and horror. With reflection, every partiality for you has utterly passed away. 1 know you, with all the virtues you fancy you possess, to be full of vices, the worst; the most incurable. No woman can love truly, who loves a libertine. None can continue to love him when his mask is torn off.’ Nay, Kate; yon do but mock me,’ exclaimed the youth, maddened by the contemplation of charms lovelier than ever, ‘this must not—cannot he.’ ‘Unhand me, sir.* ‘I will account to your guardian and your would be-husband, Kate. lam rich, great and powerful. I seek tit* longer your ruin; 1 will make you my wife. 1 will plant your brow with diamonds. \on shall be as a qtmeu iu England. 1 am reconciled with my royal master. Beautiful, celestial girl; you must, you shall be mute.’ ‘Never; even if vou cSl'ed me to the throne.’ ‘Nav, th“n, endin'.tr v>, one heavenly kiss.’ Unaccustomed to re-train the wild impulses of his nature, lie clasped her to 1 is bosom, in spite of her screams, when an iron grasp upon life shoul der dragged him violently back, and a rude blow rung upon his forehead. Aghast at the insult, lie looked up. The calm luce ol the sturdy bride groom was beat sternly on him. ‘lnsolent knave; coward; villian; draw!’cried rim enraged cavalier. I -mg all presence of mind. ‘Certainly, said the other, coo’y. In an instant their bright blades ghatied in the light, aud the clash of a deadly contest rung through the room. Twice th“ desperate sword of Lovelace passed through the skirt of his opponent. But self-pos session at length coped successfully with blind fury. The w eapon of the frantic Englishman flew from his convulsive grasp, and its exhausted, breathless, arid IdretKrgn aster, with one knee on the floor, lav utterly exposed to the death he meri ted, and had striven so arduously to inflict. ‘Spare him!’ cried Katrine, ‘lie is unworthy of thy noble hand. Stain not the day of our union with the blood even of a vidian.’ ‘Take thy life, Englishman.- I would have giv en it unasked, Thee and thy base master we d«s "p!se alike. Back wMI: ikee to the corrupt court of England, and tell the royal despot, that our fair land is peopled with women who despise tyrants, and men who can punish them. May heaven one day grant that the chains which thou and thy eom pee/s have now laid on us, as a people, be spurned from our independent country, even as I spurn thee from tec side of this lovely and beloved girl.’ He touched lightly, with his foot, the breast of his fallen foe, who replied by gnashing his teeth and wiping tiie drops ol sw eat from his lip and forehead. In a few davs the three armed vessels sought a gabi the mother isle, and the half reformed caval ier doubtless found means, in love and wine, to for get the merited lesson of K \trina Scul vler. An unusual degree of Good Bcnsr. —A matrimo nial affair was related to us a short time since, so fraught with correct judgement in all the parties, that w e deem it worthy of insertion in our columns, and advise it to be cut out by all welKregulated families and preserved amongst the precious things of admonition. The facts were these:—A vouug gcntlonv i of very unexceptionable character ad dressed a young lady of equal good standing, ini mediatelv after the completion of her education. She consented.'-’J’he young gentleman, flushed with success, repuiied to the father of the young lady, and his consent was also obtained. kite only remaining duty was to consult the mother. This he did nothing doubting. On breaking the matter to her, his request was answered by an in terrogatory to the follow ing effect: i.yir, _—, do you imagine I have respect for you or not ?” “I could hope you do,” was the reply. “Your hopes are not in vain: hut that very res pect constrains me to withhold my consent on this occasion. You are aware my daughter has been at school since an early age,.and consequently she is whollv ignorant ofhousehold duties. My opin ion is, people should never get married w ithout a prospect of promoting their happiness thereby. The entire ignorance of my daughter, m the par ticular alluded to, would, iii all probability, wound her pride, and give a disrelish to lrer changed con dition. While, therefore, I cannot, in the small est degree, object to you as every way worthy of my daughter, a regard for your own and her hap piness, compels me to withhold my assent until she shall have been fully instructed on household duties.” Vol. I.—No. 111. She further informed him that not more than twelve months’ delay, w&ukl be caused thereby The young man, with equal coed ,-er.st, bowed iu joyous submission, and returned to Ltsfatr to announce the result with feelings nothing abated towards her, hut, if possible, With more .ove to (ho mother.

ROMANTIC ADVENTURE. A. few days since the family of a merchant, re siding in one of the great commercial towns of the north, was thrown into a state of the greatest con fusion by the sudden disappearance of the young est daughter. It appeared that the young lad.y had, on the morning of the 2d itist, left home at an early hour, intending to visit some friends who resided on the Side of the river opposite to that on w hich the town stands. Hastening tow ards the pier to take passage on board one of the steamers which constantly ply to and fro, she was delayed on her way, the lock gates of the dock (forming the bridge) having opened to afford egress to a vessel outward bound. The ship being at length towed into the basin, the gates were closed, and the crowd pressed forward to cross the bridge. A rope, w hich hail been attached to the side ol the vessel, anil likewise fastened to a post on the pier head, being at this moment suddenly jerked; came with such violence against the ancles of the crowd as to cause their instant subversion; the lady be ing oti the edge of the pier was unfortunately precipitated into the water. A rush was made to the sjHJt from whence -he had fallen; a rojie wa» thrown up, but a gentleman, with great presence of miml, uumiudful of the fearful leap, “accouter ed as ho was, plunged in,” and managed with dif ficulty, to keep the lady above water till the arri val of a boat. Landed at the pier stairs a coach was procured, and in a short time the gentleman sat down liis dripping charge at the door ol' her father’s domi cile. In tiie evening he called to inquiie alter lit r health, next day lie repeated his visit, procured a private interview, the parents being out. The tol low ing morning cam ■ but no lady appeared at the breakfast table—the bird bad flown, and, as miaht be expected, father and mother were inccnsolate. Things remained in this state till the evening of the (ith, when tl.c arrival of a letter informed the family that the lady was quite safe, she having, in token of gratitude, surrendered her hand anil tor tune to !.< r deliverer. The worthy merchant, dis pleased at the step, was satisfied to find that his daughter's husband was no needy adventurer, but the possessor of a tolerable income. This nov el and speedy mode of procuring a partner for litc has, it is reported, caused >o great a sensation a tnonc the spinsters of the town, that many who have long languished iu vain, have lully determin ed, wheu warm weather may come, to try the etn cacv of a batli, but have also taken the precaution to order cork jackets to lie made, the use ot w hich might prevent fearful couse juences, should no knight deliverer appear. A Broad Hint and n /’roper Ttelul.e— At a social entertainment some stories too wonderful to be true were related by one of the company. A pausr'occuring in the conversation, another indi vidual of the party commenced by aaying : “Gen tlemen I w ill now tell my tale. In a village lived a butcher, who had the curiosity one day to view the adjacent country from the top of the church steeple, and, for that purpose, he was escorted, by the clerk of the parish. Soon after they had reached the top, the bells began to ring, which caused the steeple to rock from one side to the Other with such velocity, that the butcher, unable to bear the effect, (which completely addled Ins brains,) leaped from the top ; but reflecting on the risk he ran in alighting, he suddenly drew L s knife from its sheath, stuck it in the wall, and lucre hung dangling by it like a hat on a peg, till some persons having obtained a ladder, kited him down.” “Thar must be a lie !” exclaimed the person who before amused the company so much. “And, pray what have you been telling all the evening ?” said the other. The first speaker was confounded. The lodgings of a Dandy were lately robbed ol a pair of stays, a smelling bottle, two pair ot art U cial eve brows, and a white surtnut, in a puci.i t of which there were three fine letters, written to him self, in his ow n hand writing. In the days of the blue laws, a shoemaker was condemned to be hung for some crime; but on the day of execution, it was discovered that he was the only person of that trade in the town, and could r.ot possibly he •pared. A weaver was bung in In# place, as they had u plenty of them. Anecdote of the late Sir Edmund Nagle. — When a young man travelling in a post chaise up Shooters hill a higliway-man rode up presented his pistol into the window and demanded liis money or liis life. Sir Edmund then a very atldetic man seized the arm of the ruffian, twisted the pi-ao] from it, dragged him through the window, and pla cing him beside him to keepli m quiet, ordered the post hoy to drive on. r ] he humble .‘■•applications of the highwayman were answered with. “Be easy boy he easy wont hurt ye.” Still the conscience stricken robber kept pleading, till at length the chaise reached the Oaptnius lodgings when he handed the fellow out of the coach, walked him np to a garret, and locked themselves in. lie then took oti his coat and Naitl. ‘Now sir, 1 neither mean to hang you nor hurt you, but i 11 just give vou a broth of abating, whi-T havin a complKlied lie opened the door, bade the robber be vti, and the next time lie stopped a coach, to rap at the Window and ask if l’at Nagle was inside, before he ventured to poke" his pistol into it.
