A GENTLEMAN by the name of ALLEN -UIl CARLISLE, came to my store on the 12th inst. informed me that he was living in the set tlement with a gentleman by (lie name ol Joel Horn. Being acquainted with Mr- Horn, I relied on his word, and while conversing with him, he offered me a five dollar bill on the Commercial 13anh of Florida, which I refused. He stated that Mrs. Horn had sent it by him to pawn for some change that she needed until her husband returned from Maeon. As 1 took him to be a gentleman, he offered to make a bill, which I con sented to, and traded to tlie amount of $3 cents. Jn a few minutes, I found out that he was a Loafer, strolling through the country, and pur sued him, but never overtook the villain. The said Carlisle, as well as I can learn from Mr. Horn, came from Crawford county, Georgia. In a row wit:i a gentleman there, he bit hit ear off, and was running away. IwillpayTEN DOLLARS for his delivery in Sumter comity, Ga. or FIVE for information so that 1 can get him. The said Car lisle is common stature, dark complexion, 25 or 30 years of age, riding a bright sorrel gilding, bi ick ti; ped hat, dark over coat, nothing more sariicular recollected. JAMES EVANS.

Fiction, OR THE C»qi. r'TT S TATE. “There is a eup of bliss ; It mantles bright, and sends its foam aloft And calls for flowers to twine its sparkling brim , The young, gay, beauteous, happy uanee around, Nor ken the shapes that ’neath its surface swim.” About the commencement of the present cen tury, there emigrated from the highlands of Scotland, a family much respected for the correctness of their deportment. They were •t humble circumstances, and frugal and indus trious, and readily made additions lo their eatare, as a newly settled country was a profitable loca tion for a mechanic, the vocation ol ti.e gentle man. The metropolis of this state was the spot upon which they planted their destiny. And in a few years, they found themselves the parents of two children, George and Elizabeth, ihe tide of their prosperity bail been taken at the Hood, and was rapidly wafting them io loiiuue, whilst their children, the objects ot their deepest regard, had attained that age, when some atieuiiou should be bestowed upon their education. Annuli, they could not receive the same facilities, in the western world, that Bcohand afiorded, yet they resolved to give them me hist advantages the United States possessed, 'i lien sou, a promi sing boy, sickened and tried, which let' an only child, their darling Elizabeth, ihe old n an, in the mean time, posse; sing tlie ordinary attri butes of Scotchmen,delighted iu mirth, festivity, and extravagance, be became intoxicated by pros per:?”, and seemed lo squ..iiGer bis estate, moit rapidly than he had amassed it. it was believed and hoped that the loss ol fits son would artesl his prodigality, and influence him to return to habits' of sobriety, economy and usefulness.— Bur the eflects were evanescent, and his case il lustrates the fact, tiiat the means that contribute to our unnatural and excessive enjoyment, oiten work out our own destruction, the grave was the goal at which fie speed, ly at rived, aud ins widow and daughter, were the only relics ot tiie family; they stood alone upon American soil, without tlie first tie oi consanguinity to endear them to their homes. Ihe husband and lather slept iu the land ot freedom, and, annust the gloom attendant on their forlorn condition, the only sympathy they could claim, was that which the merited respect of their acquaintances en titled them to. Though once affluent, the old man left a bare competence, and, inured to labor from her iulan cy, the old lady resolved, t obtain a support by her industry, that her little income might be ap propriated to the education ol Elizabeth, wnose rapid progress gave encouragement to persevere. A few veais soon elapsed, and site beheld her daughter, at the age ol seventeen, highly a. c jiii plished, fur her age, and eligible, to mane her dt but upon the carpet, which she Uid under the most propitious circumstances. Iu point ol in tellect, she was the idol of the town, all admired and praised her, whilst she made every exertion to prove worthy of the high consideration ol her acquaintances, by prudence aud untiring applica tion to light and lashiouable, literature. Ji inigut be proper, for tire gratification of the reader, and come friends, who might recognize a lew traces of one whom riiey highly esteemed, nay loved, to attempt a brief description of the personage, who, at this era of life, occupied so enviable sta tion; she was of a delicate frame, of medium height; her features were remarkable, not en tirely symmetrical, yet giving an expression pe culiarly interesting. Her mouth denoted cheer fulness, with an amiable disposition, anil tier fore head would have been a least lor an enthusiastic phrenologist. Her eyes were small, though deep blue; her skin of hectic transparency, and her Aburn hair was so tastefully adjusted, that it aug mented the beauty ol them all. r lliis is a faint outline of the person of her who once moved and had her being. But to return to her endow ments—she was perfect in some of the fashion able aceompliments, deficient m none. In pain ting, had she cultivateu her taste, Snliy’s reputa tion would have been, at least, equalled. Her sketches wcie admirable, and many ol her origi nal designs were of the best and most poetic char acte*. tShe was fluent, perspicuous, and edifying in conversation, and though not ostentatious ot the extent of her research, w hen elicited, she ex hibited much more than coulu have been expec ted of her years. Her modesty, discretion, cap tivating and dignified manners, acquired for her the attachment of the highest circles in society, and her unquestionable talents secured her their most profound admiration, feuch qualities were entirely magnetic, they brought to Iter the more choice compainions, and, in a short time, she re ceived moie’attention than any lady of the place.* This justly constituted her belie. About this time, as might have been antiepated, she w.tS addressed by a young gentleman of fine person, moderate fortune, and of excellent prom ise, who, at that time, was engaged in the study of medicine. Her friends flattered her suitor, and being a lady of discernment, she acquiesced in their favorable reports. A mutual, unalloyed at tachment ensued, and they solemnly entered into a matrimonial engagement; tlie condition was that, so soon as “he completed his Studies,” they were to consuroate their intentions. Ihe young gentleman, having bestowed the most cordial at tentions upon her fora few months, took an afiec riouate leave of his bethrothed, with the expec tation of returning in four or five mouths, with an agreement, that during his absence, they were to cherish their afifeettous, and keep up a correspon dence. Soon after his departure, the legislature convened, and, with it the ga ty. ir t dhgence and the splendor of the country iu profusion. The reputation that she now enjoyed, al ost without a rival, readil extend*J her icqu.Vm ai < •*. * ereht weeks her huad was as often sdkited io 01. I.—No. A5. matrimony, by gentlemen of high character, wealth and taieut. 1 his awakened her ambition, and, from this moment, she began to play with hearts, as children do with ioys N The heart of woman is not shielded against ambition, and when it becomes stimulated by it, it is ;;s towering aud insatiable as in the otiier sex. in ail countries where the reins oi government occasionally fail into the hands of females, we discover demon strations of the truth. r i olive in an atmosphere of smiles, filled with fervent eulogies, and il lumined by the brilliant sources Horn which they occasionally emanate, must be a staiiou whose eminence flatters t he v anity, at least, of the young. This was the lot of L z.ibeth, uutii vanity, per haps persuaded her powei was omnipotent over tlie heart of >er lover. She desecrated the engagement she had made wiili the yoqng doctor, by entering into similiar one.-, with a number of the many, whose smiles, promises and protestations of deepest and purest affection ministered to her pride and self impor tance. She often tested lier power, by beholding with how weak an assurance she could enchain the admiration of her suitors, and to what extent her dissimulation could tax their credulity. She deci,rated her countenance with smiles inimita bly captivating, uttered words, to convey a mean ing not applicable to her, though they were the ordinary symbols of affection. Thus inebriated anu deluded, her enchanted lover never discover ed her perfidy, until she startled “him by the aw ful disclosure,’’ that, from.some cause unneces sary to be made known, she could not marry him. This decision was not always final; she would, if possible, decoy him again to bew lder him in a second labyrinth of difficulties. So soon as hia wounded heart arid mortified pride had found a palliation for its injuries, and had realized its lor tncrbliss, repulse was again liis portion. Thus she conn: itted, without a consciousness of the atroci ty hi worst of crimes, tnd rejoiced at her unre vealed power. She believed herself destined for someone, whose circumstances ia life, or daz zling genius, would shed without an uncertainty, a Lighter halo around her, than any one ol those who had supplicated l.cr hand. She wrote to the young physician, tiiat llieir engagement was premature, and demanded a dissolution of it. With pride of character, he readily assen ted. and, in a short time, he returned, under tho most propitious circumstances. Hts return to his rcl itive.i and friends was soon communicated to her, and an apolopy, on tlie non-committal or der, remarkable for its elegance ol composition, and ingenuity of argument, and anonymous, was received thiough the post office. The doctor readily ri cognised the superior hand-writing, she having transcribed his “thesis, that is now in the archives of tlie Medics Col lege of the state of South Carolina, wmcii is o(- teu pointed io by the “faculty” for the nt a i ness ot its execution. She desired an interview, and ob taine I it. Full atonement was made, aud, iu a s! ort lime, they were reinstated in their afiec i;o; s, to be bound iu the chams ol matrimony in a I”w weeks. A short time prior to the specified tune, tor the celebration of their nuptials, she became apathetic, and desired a postponement, , r adjournment “sine die.” The doctor, perceiv ing so that she was inclined tosport with his fee lings, acceeded to the proposition, she believing ihat her charms would allure him to are-engage ment. Thus she would render her hand and heart accessible to others, whilst the doctor could vibrate between hope and despair. But the Ru bicon was past, and, as he retired, he uttered the following words: *1 have set my life upon the cast, and 1 w ill stand the hazard ol the die. ■ The heart of the disciple of /Esculupius was ill a: ease, ye he feigned indifference and cheerlul ness. His affections for her were becoming ex tinct. whilst the treacherous fair one seemed plunged in melancholy. Finally, some of her friends proffered to attempt a reconciliation — They did so, but the doctor was iriedorable.—- Too magnanimous to explore “the affair” to the gossip of the town, the victor assumed tlie posi tion, in the eyes of the community of the vau qui-hed. Much time had net elapsed, before a coach and four was seen to drive to one of the most fashionable hotels in the town, now city, which disgorged a fop, attired ia all the caprices ol fash ion, a stick in hand, aud a pair of gold spectacles over his eyes. If his creditors had been satisfied these latter articles would have formed a shedule of his estate. lie was of splendid person, and of pleasing manners, end hy profession, or nom inally. a lawyer, and from his costly equipage, it was inferred that he was a gentleman ot “good moral character,” which, being interpreted, sig nifies a man of fortune. Ile was attracted thither by the reputed talents aud beauty of wy “hero ine." He obtained an introduction to tbolanuljr# and made favorable impressions upon them, . al though the stain of blood had crimsowed h»s es cutcheon. He was cheerful and agreeable m company, but, when alone, his feelings are bettew described' in Eugene Aram’s dream, by Tnom«s Hood, than I am able to do it. “They told liow murderers walk'd th* ear»b Beneath the curse of Cam With crimson clouds before tfieir eyes And (lames about their brain; For blood has left upon their sottU its everlasting stain! “And well,” quoth lie, “I know for truth Their pangs must be extreme — Wo, wo, unutterable wo— Who spill life’s sacred stream!
