yofl were born the inheritor.’ .Mv uncle kissed
iiiv brow, as he gently raised me from my kneel
ing .posture, spoke warmly of his gratitude, but
liruily and resolutely rejected my oiler. I plead
ed, but in vain. I dwelt on his kindness—his
generous kindnese: I offered him my fortune as
his right, lit* was deat to all my prayers. While
I acknowledged the nobleness of his motive, I
deplored his jK-rtinaeknis firmness; but drying
my tears, i knitted his presence, and before
another eve >h<;4 thrown its glory over our regal
t home, my-uncle was again its rightful master.—
The clamor of the claimants for his noble posses
sions, was appeased by my gold, and though my
vast heritage and dwindled to comparative com
petency, by the discharge of what 1 deemed my
sacred duty, 1 lamented not its loss : 1 was happy
in the conseiousness of acting a Christian's part.
“1 now begau to hope no farther blight might
enter our circle, but 1 was mistaken. A few days
after the occurrence 1 have just related, I was
aroused »t xu early hour, and requested to go my
uncle’s apartment. Tremblingly 1 obeyed. As
I entered the chamber, my uncle’s valet, who had
opened the door to me, passed quickly into the
adjoining room. Hastily 1 advanced to the cen
tre of the apart, and not seeing any one within, I
walked to the bed-side, pulled aside the curtains
of the bed, gave one wild scream, and fell sense
less by the side of tny dead uncle! When 1 re
covered, I was still alone with the departed; my
eye fell on an open letter, which apparently had
been recently read, and which tested on the cov
erlid. I started to my feet, and with a dread fore
boding I could not suppress, 1 glanced over its
contents. It was from an old and tried friend of
our family at Venice, and as the horrible truth it
told was slowly revealed to me, I felt my fears
had not whispered falsely : Antonio Bandini had
given death all us sting, to the one v, i.o had loved
him so blindly. I ceased to read; i stood im
moveable. The last drop was added to the cut)
of agony, which hail so long uverllowed—that
cup which sparkled so gloriously in life's ear’,'
spring rune. By the corpse of him who had been
*.,11 to me --the last of my house—the last of mv
kindred—-! knew I was not only friendless and
desolate, but I learned in that fatal letter 1 was a
bcggtir also. Antonio Bandini had counterfeited
my own and mv uncle’s signature ; claimed and
received my whole remaining property; insuring
the success ot his villianous scheme, bv conceal
ing his actual marriage, and causing the report
ot his betrothal to me to be revived where it was
readily hearkened to. The cold, calculating pol
icy ot flte villian, was apparent throughout! I
wondered not it had sped death's shaft to the
heart of my dear kind uncle!
“With the brand of forgery, Bandini fled from
his country, his home, his wife; and the daring
valor ot a pirate's life shrouded the iniquity of
those acts which induced him to take refuge in a
perpetual home on the deep seas. Ida and her
father were the first to offer the balm of sympa
thy to one who had. so bitterly experienced ‘the
vicissitudes of life.’ Yielding to their solicita
tions, offered iu the fervor of friendship, 1 accep
ted the guardianship of Mr. V , and when he
ttrt ttirtYwH rwt«*t A ;
wondered at, that, without ties in mv native land,
i clung to hat protection which their affection
had thrown as a shield around me, and prepared
to seek a home in another and strange clime.
“Although my inestimable and noble young
friend, Air. Wallingford, would fain have persua
(led me to link mv destinies withhisown, 1 shrank
from perilling tny happiness again on the deep of
affection, where it had been so learfullv wrecked ;
and my heart, withered and blighted, ;n\ fortunes
clouded, my spirit crushed, were unworthy of one
,so gifted, in whose book of life every page glowed
so bright and fresh. As he accompanied us to
file vessel which was to bear us over the billowy
deep, and as he pressed my hand in parting, the
prayer of a broken heart almost burst into utter
ance for his undying happiness. Alter our last
adieu was exchanged. I felt that the sadness of
departure was gone, although fair Italia, with her
burnished skies, the land of my fathers, was fading
before the lingering gaze of the exile.”

A TREE STORV.
The great anti-dog law, w ith its poisoned “sas.s
enger” enactments, lias produced many a wretch
ed scene in the way of killing off valuable animals;
hut the most wretched or wrelching case of all was
that of the Dutchman below Canal street, a few
nights ago.
Phis Dutchman had been employed as one of
the watch in the first Municipality, and on appear
ing at the guard house on the first night of hisen
gageinent, he was furnished and equipped accor
ding to law, with cap, ratile, bludgeon, Ac.
for disturbers of the peace in human shape, togeth
er with an allowance of poisoned ‘sassengers,’ for
those of the canine race who might be so thought
less as to wander forth after gun fire.
Mynheer was a little puzzled when the ‘sassen
gers' were handed to him—for, not being np to
the wisdom ot the anti-dog law, he was at a loss to
know their use. However, being favorably im
pressed as to the liberality of his employer, he fan
cied that the ‘sassengers’ were intended as his ra
tions for the night, and with this impression he
pocketed theui.
Sometime about midnight Mynheer began to
to feel hungry,’ and he bethought himself of his
rations with which lie had been furnished by the
quarter master. So he entered a cabaret which
happened to be open, called lor a mug of beer,
and seating himself beside a table, he drew from
oue pocket a hard crust of navy biscuit, and from
the other the municipal, ‘sassengers.’ For the
■pace of half an hour the safety of the city was
least in Mynheer’s thoughts his whole attention
being engrossed, with his homely snack, which
w ith th? hydraulic assistance of the beer was ena
bled a\ leng-th to force down his throat.
Refreshed with his repast, our worthy “guar
dian of the night’ 4 picked up his bludgeon and
sauntered forth to resume his I tzy monotonous
peratnuiations. He had walked the extent of his
heat but once or twice when he began to experi
• ence some queer sensations about the gastric re
gion. 1’ irst there was something of a burning
thirst—then nausea, accompanied with a dizzi
ness in the head—then he fancied some wild var
mint had entered his maw and was tearing every
thing to pieces there—and when in the midst of
his commotion both mental and stomachal, he
saw the rats darting to and fro across the pave
ments Ue retired out in his agony—
and blixen ! Mein Cut, Mein Cot'
Them rtts islt running all over tny insides! Oh!
Katy! Katy—Mein vrow! Aleiu vrow! Yv
don’t you come!’
These c ries of.listress brought to liis assistance
a couple of youngsters who were going along the
street. When they came up lie was holding fast
to a lamp post, liis head brought down toward liis
knees—and liis entire body presenting a figure
about the shape of a well defined point ofmterrog
ation. Being in a questioning position, he bel
lowed out as distinctly as lie could.
‘O Mynheer! W hat is de matter init me? 1
ish so sea sick. I i>h ndt been so seasick since
de time I cootned all de vay front Amsterdam.;
Oh! my head ! Mein sooper ish all gone—-and
mein dinner and breakfast ish nil gone too! It vi i
kill me! I’m a dead man, so 1 ish!. Oh Katy—
mein vrow!’
The poor Hollander was in truth, in a deplor
able predicament! lie lmgged the lamp post as
closely and as energetically as ever he did th - bul
warks of a vessel under similar circumstances in
time of ahi gh sea. The young gentlemen, who
heard rite above exclamations only in the inter
vals of his painful throes, found it impossible to do
any thing for him’iimnediately, as he was not in a
situation to be removed. Presently however he
became a litttle more easy. A calm succeeded
the raging bellowed storm; and wishing to ascer
tain the cause of so sudden an illness, sea-sick
ness as he called it himself, they asked him it he
had been lately eating or drinking any thing.
‘Eat, I ish eat my supper of mein rations dat
dry give me at de vatch house !’’
‘And is it rations you spake of, faith?’ saida
son of the green isle, who come up bv thistime.
‘Then my hearty you have better times tins we
have in the second municipality, when 1 was a
watchman up three—for devil a bit of ration did
ever 1 see.’
One word brought on another, til! at length it
was ascertained, to the astonishment of all present,
that the Dutchman had devoured his entVe al
lowance of poisoned “sassengers;” but fortunate
ly, his stomach was now rid of the dangerous bur
den. He had swallowed, it is true a most 1 enor
mous and dangerous meal—enough to have kil
led a dozen dogs: but not enough to settle even
one Dutchman.

as ct a no >' - ; ndlv over his fright, the sar
cr.sm- '-t *:,; -:on, %uh sln could not stand and con-
Mqio’?• % , re . .pi* ibis post of watchman. So
much for the evil ejects of the “sassenger” enact
ment, u caused the poor fellow the most harrowing
grief, compelling him to throw up liis eoiruniss'Um,
and a great deal more too.—iV. O- Picayune .
HIE DEATH WARRANT.
The mist of the morning still hung heavily on
the mountain top, above the village of Redelilf,
but tlie roads which led towards it were crowded
with the varied population of the sui rounding coun
try from far and near. At Alesbury the shpps
were closed, the hammer of the blacksmith laid
upon its anvil—not a wagon of any description
was to be seen in the street, and even the bat of
the tavern was locked, and the key gone with its
proprietor toward the cliff, as a token of an impor
tant era which was without a parallel in the annals
of the place. But save here aiul there a solitary
head looking through a broken pane, in some clo
sed up house, with an air ot' sad disappointment,
or the cries of a little nursling was heard, beioking
• I*—-" 1 J.a., been left in un
skilful hands, and mayhap here and there a stliia
rv, ragged and iilnatured dog, eiilirr seemed half
appeased by the privilege of a holiday grantedon
condition of stay ing at home, the whole villige
presented a picture of desertion and silence, taat
had forever been unknown before.
But in proportion as you draw near the ponder
ous cliffs, in the midst of which the little town >f
Redclifl was situated, you mingle again in tie
thick bustle arid motion of the world, of men aid
women, and boys, and horses and dogs, and ill
living, moving, and creeping things, that inhabit
the wild districts of Pennsylvania.
The village was crowned to overflowing, bog
before the sun had gained a sufficient altitudi to
throw its rays upon the deep valley in w hieh it ay.
here the bar of the inn was crowded, and the
fumes of tobacco and whiskey, the jitigliiq of
small change, and the perpetual clamor ol the
thong, was sufficient to rack the brain of com
mon flexibility, hi the streets there was the
greeting ofold and long parted acquaintances: the
bartering ol horses; the settling of old accounts :
the buffoonry ol hall intoxicated men ; tlie clatter
of women : the crying and hallowing of children
and boys, and the harking and quarrelling of stran
ger dogs. To look upon the scene, to mingle
with the crowd, to listen to tlie conversation, or to
survey the countenances of the assembled multi
tude, would lead to satisfactory solution of tlie
cause for which the mass oflieterogeneuos matter
was congregated.
AV it hi n the walls of the old stone jail, ?t the
fo*»t of the mountain, a different scene had been
that morning witnessed. There chained to a
stake in the miserable dungeon, damp, and scarce
ly illuminated by one ray ot light, now lay the e
maciated form of one whose final doom teemed
near at hand. A few hours before, his wife and lit
tle daughter had travelled a hundred miles to meet
him on the threshold of the grave—they net, and
from that gloomy vault the song of praise ascend
ed with the ascending sun, and the jailo* as he
listened to the melodious voices of three persons
whom he looked upon as the most desolate and
lost of all the wide world, blended sweetly togeth
er and chaunting the beautiful hymn :
“It is the Lord should I distrust
Or contradict his will ?”
almost doubted the evidence of his senses, and
stood fixed in astonishment at the massy door.
Gould these be the voice of a murderer, and a mur
derer’s wife and child.
The brief and tina! interview had passed howev
er-—those unfortunate ones had loudly commen
ded each other to the keeping of their heavenly
parent, and parted—he, to face the assembled
multitude on the scaffold, and they as ’hey said to
return by journeys to their sorrowful home ; the
convict worn out with sickness and watcliiug now
slept. ' .
11 is name was John Creel, his place o| resi
dence said to be in Virginia. He had beentaken
up while in travelling from the northward his
home, and tried and convicted at the count) town
some miles distant, for the murder of a Alow
traveller, who had borne his company iVoii the
lakes, who was ascertained to liavt a large sun of
money, and who wasfouud in the room in Inch
he slept, at a country inn, near Redelilf, wi i his
throat cut. Creel always protested his inbb ence,
declaring that the deed was perpetrated bv some
one while he was asleep, but the circumqances
were against him. and though the money w* not
found on him he was seuteuefed to be JUutg and
'vns removed to the stone jail at Kedcliifc lor >e-1
curify, the county prison being deemed unsafe.
Thi-> was the day the execution was to take place ;
th» scaffold was already erected—the crowd pressed
round the budding 4 and trequeut cries of “bring
out the murderer,” were heard.
1 he sun at last told the hour of eleven, and there
could he no more delay—the convict’s ceil w as en
tered by the officer:, in attendance who roused linn
with the information that all was ready without,
and bid him hasten to his execution—they ;aij
hands upon him and pinioned turn tight while ue
looked up toward heaven in astonishment, as one
new horn, oniy said “the dream.” “And what of
tlie dream, Air. Jason i” s,.nl the sheriff’. “Ton
would do me a great kindness if you would dream
vouiselfout of tliiscursed scrape.” “1 dreamed,”
replied the convict, “that while you read the
death wairantto me on the scaffold, a man came
through the crowd, and stood before us in a gray
dress, with a white hat and whiskers, and that a
bird fluttered overliirn, and sung distinctly—this
is Lewis, the murderer of th* 1 traveller.”
The officers and jailor held a short consultation
which ended in a determination to look sharp alt er
the man in gray with the white hat—accompa
nied with many hints of resignation of tlie prison
er, and the possibility of his innocence being asser
ted by a supernatural a. ency—The prison doors
were cleared, ami Creel, pale and leeble, with a
hymn book in liis hand, and a mien of all meek
ness and humility was seen tottering from the
prison to the scaffold. Ile had no sootier ascen
ded it than liis eyes began to wander over the
vast concourse of people around him, with scruti
ny seemed like faith, in dreams—and while the
sheriff read the warrant, the convict s anxiety ap
peared to increase—he looked again, then raised
liis hands and eyes a moment towards the clear
sky, as if breathing a last ejaculation, when lo !
as he resumed his first position, the very person
he described, stood within six teet of the ladder!
The prisoner's eye caught the sight, and flashed
with lire while he called out, “there is Lewis the
murderer of the traveller,” and the jailor at t lie
same moment seized the stranger by the collar.
At first lie attempted to escape, but being secured,
and taken before the magistrates, lie confessed
the deed, detailed all the par .cu ars, delivered up
i part of the money, inlhneed when another part
was hidden, aid 'as f . v omit it*- 1 tor tria* -

man out ui his seti.--s. <-'..t:. ti •> . Told.
Three days had elapsed- ( reel had vanished
immediately alter his liberation, when tlie preten
ded Lewis astonished and confounded the magis
trates declaring Creel to be her husband—that
she had assumed disguise, and performed the
whole part by his direction ; that lie had given her
the money which lie had till then successfully
concealed about his person : and that the whole
from the prison to the scaffold scene, was a con
trivance to effect liis escape, which having effec
ted, she was regardless of consequences. .Noth
ing could be done with her; she was again set at
liberty, and neither her nor the husband was
heard of again.
The Tailors Dream. —A tailor of Bagdad du
ring a severe illness, dreamed that an angel ap
peared before him, bearing an immense flag form
ed from the pieces.o!T oth which he abstracted at
different times from his customers, and that he
chastised him severely with a rod of iron while he
waved the flag before his eyes! He awoke in an
atrpny of terror, and vowed that he would never a
?.nin steal elotti n<im nis cnstumcio. l-Vornm,
however, tlie influence of future temptations, he
ordered liis servant to remind him of tlie flag,
whenever he saw him too sorelv tempted. For
some time the servant’s hint checked the tailor’s
avarice ; but at length a nobleman sent him a
piece of rich brocade to make a rob’, whose beau
ty proved too strong for tlie tailor’s resolution.
‘The flag! the flag ! shouted the servant whon he
saw the shears tailing a suspicious direction.
‘Curse yoirnnd the flag,, answered tlie tailor,
‘there was not a bit of stuff like this in it; besides,
there was a piece wanting in one of the corners,
which this remnant will exactly supply.’
Different ways of doing the seme thin, —‘Pray
excuse me,’said a well dressed voting man to a
young lady in the second tier of boxes at tlie the
atre : —“1 wish to go up stairs and get some re
freshment—don't leave your seat.’ A sailor seat
ed in the box near his sweet-heart, and disposed
to do the same thing, rose and said. ‘llarkee,
Moll, I’m going aloft to wet my whistle; don't
fall overboard while I’m gone.’
Two Irishmen travelling together came to a
mile post w hich gave the exact number of miles

other.
A Vermont Repartee. —A recruiting officer whis
pered to a rosy-cheeked damsel, as she was put
ting on her bonnet at the closing of quilting party:
“Will you allow me to accompany you home ?”
No, sir, I am engaged;” said she, in a loud tone 1
so as to give notoriety to the transaction. “You
miss it most prodigiously!” said the military wag,
“for 1 have got both pockets chuck full of ginger
cake.
Don't he discouraged— If occasionally yen slip
down by the way, and others tread over vou a
little. In other words don’t let a failure or two
dishearten you; accidents will happen, tniseal
cul uions will sometimes be made, things will turn
out differently from our expectations, and we may
be sufferers. It is worth while to romember that
fortune is like the skies in the month of April
sometimes cloudy, and sometimes clear and favor
able; and as it would be folly to despair again
seeing the sun, because today is stormy, so it is
unwise to sink into despondency wflien fortane
frowns, since in the common course of tilings she
may be surely expected to smile again.
A Living Skeleton—ln passing trough a village
I was struck with the sight of a stiffand shrivelled
corpse, clothed seated iu a chair, laid slanting a
gainst a wall, so that the feet were in the air, and
the head was bent down upon the breast. While
I stood looking at it, l was startled by a jerking
motion in the right arm , and then seeing two
black and vived eyes straining to catch my atten
tion. This was a human and living being, which
had existed in this shrilled and motionless state
lor *23 years the flesh seemed to have disappeared
from his bones: the skin had shrunk and was al
most black, I have seen mummies that appeared
in a lietter state ol preservation. The joints were
all fixed, with the exception of the right shoul

Aluch has been said in the Vat* Burea press e •
of tlr.s State about tue abolitionism of the North
ern Whigs. While we have been free to admit
tint many of the .moliiiomsts are whigs, we hav,>
always hti i iii.ii m ny ot the Van Bureuites of
ot t;,e N -lta ire abolitionists! Such is the truth
w hatever cantina demagogues may say for polffl
teal r urposes. Morris Van Buren Senator
from Ohio is a rank abolitionist, and so are sever
al ol the a Innnislr.itioL candidates tor Congress in
Alass u-liusetts. It is now ascertained that ;,boli
tion influence was one ot the operating causes of
the late defeat of tlie Whigs in Ohio. (j ov
Vance, who i- a Whig, recently delivered up to
the authorities of Kentucky, upon a demand from
the Governor of that .Stare, an abolitionist bv tin*
name of Mahan, charged with inveigling slaves
from the latter State tills step ou the part of Gov
V. in behalf of the rights slave holding states
in a treat measure caused his defeat. Gov. Dun
lap o: Aiaine who was a good Van Buren man
refused upon the application of Gov. Schley of
this to deliver up two men charged w ith a
similar offence in Savant ah. The Van Bitten
Governor favored the aboiif mist while the WliD
Governor fearlessly did Ins duty at the expense of
his oflicu, and yet tlie former is held up by South
ern Editors as a friend to the South, and the latter
as its enemy. We copy the following from the
Richmond Whig, on that suoject.— Aug. Sen.
The Whig defat in Ohio. —The causes of the
extraordinary rout in Ohio, cannot, perhaps, at
this early day be correctly assigned. Our readers
will recollect that we expressed some apprehen
sion, a few days-since, that the whole Abolition
corps in that State would lie turned against Gen.
Vance for an act which then seemed to be one of
strict duty and propriety, but which, it seems,
was based upon false information. We copy an
article throwing some light on this transaction,
lrom the Philadelphia Inquirer:
The. Case of Alaliun. —Considerable excite
ment has existed iu Browne County, Ohio, tor
some time past, in consequence of the arrest of a
prisoner named Mahan by virtue of indictments
against him in Kentucky, and a demand made for
him upon Governor Vmice by the Exei-mlve of
Kentucky, claiming him as a I:.; itive from justice.
He is charged in two indictments with assistino
two slaves to make their escape from their owners
in Macon county Kentucky. After the authority
to retake Malian was given by Governor Yatice,
in obedience to the Constitution and act of Con
gress in such eases, lie became informed for the
first time, that the charge was wholly destitute of
foundation; that Mahan is a citizen of Browne,
and has not been in Kentucky for years. He
could not, therefore, be guilty of the charge ; lie
could not lie subject to tiir criminal jurisdiction of
Kentucky for an ;vct done in Ohio. Governor
\ mice at once despatched a special messenger
with instructions to fake evidence of tlie above
facts, ami lay them before the Governor of Ken
tucky. The Sciota Tribune says,—
“We understand thn* Mahan is a respectable
man, a Methodist preacher and an abolitionist.
He has evidently been fraudulently and by false
swearing entrapped into a jurisdiction not his own,
to answer an odious and despicable charge. His.
situation is well calculated Jo excite the sympathy
of out* citizens, who know the above favorable
circumstances to be true. —There are not a few
how ever, w ho would be ready to espouse his cause,
wiierlier in* true or not, owing to certain pre
judices on the subject of slavery.”
“Alake way for the Jirseys--- New Jersey lias
added another laurel to the crown of victory
I he Spirit other people is arroused, and she is
redeemed. Huzza for Van Buren and Democra
cy. ’ So says the Standard of Union. But we
think their Huzza is for nought this time; and the
“crown ot victory,” w ill be equivalent to a crown
ot thorns. The Whigs have certainly elected
the I .legislature: and the Legislature elects the
Governor and U States Senator. The election
of members to Congress is either divided, or en
tirely whig—which fact is not yet fully ascertain
ed; The Telegraph too claims this as a great
victory—but it is such a victory, as at best, barely
leaves a grease spot of their party in that State.
In Pennsylvania these papers also claim a great
victory. But the members of Congress are divi
ded and stand the same, as they did last year;
and they are much grieved at the failure of a most
villainous trick of their party to elect a tory in
place of an übilitionist. But thev have succeeded
iu electing an Abotishionist Governor, for which
they are now shouting victory. Will they deny
that their democratic Governor is an abolitionist?
We dare them to the denial, and will put them to
the proof if they dare.
In Maryland, too, they have a great victory
But what have they there ? A governor only, cl*
lected by fraud and violence, by 311 majority.
