Tothe Memo'A’ of Alexander \\ ii-son,the Ornithologist.
He asked to be laid where the birds might sing
Their matins around his tomb;
Where th -a lie-t crass of >he year might spring,
And the earliest flowers bloom.
Tor nature had tilled his noble breast,
With a love that could not die;
And he thought it wer. sweetest to sink to rest.
Where in life he wa wont to lie.
’.Mid the beautiful creatures that tenant the wild.
His brightest days were pavs.'d,
And the voices he loved, when a frolicsome child,
VV'erc the voices he loved to the last.
It was meet they should iove him a venlanttomb, N
W ‘-re the flow rs unplucked might throng,
And the bright-winged birds, unmolested might come,
IF:th tlr'ir sweetest, softest song.
They made his grave by the old church towers,*
A wav from the haunts of rare ;
There breathes th odour of summer flowers,
And the music of birds is there,
* Swedes’ Church. P'ulad -Iphia.

the heart.
The heart, the heart—tlic humun heart—
!t has a ’housand strings.
And every wiad that sweeps across,
A difio” nt cadence brings;
It hath a many mirthful voice,
It Speaketh many a tone,
Cut otr n will its swellings,
All vibrate into one.
The hea t, the heart—the human heart—
ft is a carious thing,
I* gives an impetus to thought,
A t ih nils th fancy wing;
Hut hid within its unseen depths,
A motion ever bunts,
And hatred—love—with . qua! sway,
Pit ct its will by nuns.
The heart, the heart—the human heart —
It sports with b auty's flow’r.
And beams upon its fragile stem,
That play thing of an hour;
I: nouris ies a dream oftiope,
It hath a burst ofjov,
•1 is strange that it must ever be
So poisoned with alloy.
The heart, the hear* —the human heart
Its visions of deli jht,
Are alwavs present in the mind,
And swim b- fore the sight.
But Points oft east its shadows o’er —
Its times of sadness come—
And then in silent loneliness,
It oft will forward oam.
The heart, the heart the human heart—
With weakness it grows old;
A nd then it feels its breath heave faint,
Its quivering pulse grow cold;
Vet, though the hand of death is there,
It cannot all decay,
It lives, regenerated, when
Corruption wastes the clay.
it and venture.
The clock of .X,Are LV-nte fas just tolling
midnight. I was hastening home i” my ilote
• St. Germaine, wiiCn I Crossed
ih.‘ Point N'eul, a burse, driven rapidij’ in a £‘g;
stumbled and feU. Sparks of fire flew in ah
dir tions from the violence of the fall, ani. a
scream of alarm in a female voice issued from
the interior of the carriage. I hastened to yield
tav assistance, and arrived very seasonably, for
the driver reckless of every thing else, had rush
ed to his horse’s head, and vainly endeavored to
get the animal, which was dangerously hurt,
upon his legs again.
The lady had fainted. I took her-out in my
arms, and seated her on the sidewalk. As leer
hau been the principle cause of swooning, she
tiooii opened her eyes; her senses returned, ami
in a sweet trembling voice, she thanked me ter
the kindness 1 had shewn her.—“ You will per
mit n. Madame,” said 1 “ to complete the good
work begun by so happy a chance; you will cer
tainly not refuse me the pleasure of seeing you
sately home.”
“lam sorry to give you so much trouble,
Sir. but 1 accept your invitation thankfully : my
abode is not far liom this: I shall not detain you
a moment.”
The driver received a five franc piece from the
lady’s hand; she comforted him as well as she
could, and we directed our course to Seine
Street.
“ What number Madame ?”
“ Foity.”
We note ihe.ein a few minutes.
I was retiring. “Not yet,” said the lady,
voa must not refuse some slight letresh
mer.t.” - . .
Ttiere was so much kindness in these few
words, that 1 cyuld not refrain trom accepti: g
(t lO imitation; more particularly as the strang ,
was very beautiful. We theretore entered ; an
old servant opining the door.
“ I shall treat you without ceremony Sir, and
receive you m my bed-room, it is absolutely too
cold in the parlor.”
Now I never enter a bed-room, especially a
young lady’s, without delightful emotions. I
olwav 9 identity myself with the divinity w hen
so near its altar; and consequently the sight oi
a fine bed, the mysteries of which set my ima
gination at work, goes right to my heart.
Refreshments were served up; the lady and
mvoelf seated ourselves at a marble table. The
conversation of course turned upon the ac< i
dent to which she had so nearly tallen a vic-
tim. ,
Do you feel any pain, Madam ?” ask-
Not the slightest Sir. Fright made me
f t k u ’ •am perfectly well.’*
“ T h eVl shai.’ always bless the occurrence
that procured me the happiness of your ac
quaintance.” , . .
There was really something romantic in
the adventure. Don’t you tlnnk so ?”
This singular question,although very simple
m itseif, embarrassed me considerably. I know
not what answer I made to it; for a cold sweat
had overspread my forehead.
According to my usual praise worthy cus
tom, I had oursed over the lady’s bed with my
eyes, and upon the embroid red muslin that co
vered it, I had seen numerous drops of blood !
Strange suspicions assailed me. The hour
the horse’s fall might have been a tiiek; the
unceremonious maim r of my entertainer; her
invitation up stairs—blood; all these taken in
connexion made me extremely uneasy ; but
judge my feelings when a moment alter, I saw
{h i!t * a dagger peeping out from beneath ,
tv p-lloff *
I started up. 1 was pale no doubt; for tlic
lady looked at me with alarm.
“ W hat is the matter Sir ?” asked she.
“ Nothing, Madame, nothing.”
“ You appear to be violently aflecled, are
you unwell ? Shall I ring for Thomas 1 we can
soon prepare you a bed.”
“ Nothing ails me, 1 assure you. But it is
getting late; and I fear my friends w ill be unea
sy at my absence. I must beg your permis
sion to retire.”
“ I cannot allow you to go in such a state.”
She had seized the bell chord. I would not
sutler her to ring.
“ Y'ou must take a few drops of ether at
all events.”
Saying this she ran to the door of her dres— ;
sing room; the light penetrated into it; oh horri
ble ! a man’s head hanging by the hair met m
gaze ! My knees gave way, and I feH upon my
seat; the lady returned with a vial.
Passing suddenly from a state of lethargy
to a state of despair :
“ Let me fly,” cried 1 furiously.
“ No, I will receive nothing at your hands.
Is this the reward of the service I rendered
you !”
These w ords produced a magic effect. The
ladv rang. Thomas appeared, but no order was
given him. We were all three mute with sur
prise.
Thomas at last broke silence. “ Dkl you
ring f.-r me Madame 1”
“ Shew the gentleman out.”
I gave her no time to repeat the order, in two
jumps l was ut of the house; the old servant
was at my heels, but the keen night air calmed
my agitation, and I stopped a moment to breath
freely.
“ Wretch what is your mistress’ name ?”
■“ Miss ***.”
“It is well. I shall now complain of her.”
*; Sir ?”
“ I shall immediately go to the police of
fice.”
“ Why so Sir?”
“ To have her taken up for murder; the proofs
are ample.”
“I don’t understand you Sir.”
“Os what pr iessionis our mistress?”
“She is an actress”
“What means the blood upon her bed?”
“You are under a mistake Sir. You no
doui t saw some tulip leaves that Miss scat-j
tered t.iere this morning.”
“And the dagger under her pillow?”
“My mistress has several: she was to have
appeared with one to-day; she made a selection,
ine the one you saw, she probably had re
jected.”
“But the man’s head in the dressing-room?”
“It was no doubt one of her wigs; you must
have seen it from behind.”
lin effect waited on Miss ***ncxt day at;
the green room. I told her of niv ridiculous
u rror anc * ‘hey made us both laugh heartily
and long. I* l short the consequent es of the
acquaintance were worthy of the manner in
which it was, forced, and Miss***is now my

Courtship. —A gentleman feeling a strong
partiality tor a young lady whose name was
.Vot/es, was desirous, without the ceremony of
a torniitl courtship, to ascertain her sentiments.
Foi this purpose hi- said to her one day—with
that kind of air and manner which means either
jest or earnest, as vou chose to take it—‘lt I
w ere to ask you whether you are under mat

of t our name (No —yes) might I take for an
answer.

‘And were 1 to ask if you were inclined to
form such an engagement, should a person
offer who loved you and was not indifferent to
yourself, what part of your name might I then
take as an answer?
“Yes.”
’And if I tell you that I love you, and ask you
to form such an engagement with me, then what
part of your name may I take?’
‘Oh then,’ replied the blushing girl, ‘take the
wn‘le name; as in such a ease I would cher
fully it for yours..
It is llrnosf needless to add, that they were !
soon after married.
L iw:liable Incidents. —The Bel Air Citizen,
gives the following laughable incidents on the J
descent of Mr Durant in his balloon, at that
place,
On the farm ot f apt. N. W. S. Hays very
near this place, all the negroes consisting of
twelve or fifteen, were in a field at work. When
Mr. Durant arrived immediately above them,
he hailed tnem to ascertain if the town in. sight
j was B* 1-Air. The sounds terribly started
them, not knowing from whence they came:
j and when they saw, tar above the earth, the
I “questionable shape,” they all tr>o(i jo tjiejj
heels leaving every working implement to the
mercy of—any lut themselves.
When they atrived at the quarter, it is said
the door was ,a.-tened, which they immediately
burst open, and in they went,one over the other,
ach trying by all means to make sure his es
cape from— the devil.
A black plan who wascutting wood near the
village,imnadiately on seing the ‘dreadful mes
senger’ as te thought it, dropped his axe and
altho’ a quarter or a ntilc front home—the bal

A black woman, in the village, who was just
going home from the pump, with a bucket of

—■XX.:—
The Election Returns from all, with the exception of a
few of tile frontier counties, have been received, and it is
now made but too certain, that ilson Lumpsin, is to
continue the first JV/agist. ate ol the State, for the ensuing
two yea s, AID ough we most heartily regret the defeat
of the republican candidate; yet we cannot view the re
sult of the struggle, in all its bearings, in any other light,
than as a tiiuuipli in favor of those great political princi
ples connected with our cr-. u, for which we have so zea
lously contend n: And it cannot now for a moment be
doubted, hut that it was the support w hich was given by
many of cur political friends in the small counties, to Gov.
Lumpkin, in. caos.xjuc.ica of his advocacy of the proceed
: ings of the Convention, in addition to the strong support
he received from ins own party, which secured Ins re-el
ectioa. in proof of this position, we need only ask our
I readers to compare th. returns of the Gubernatorial elec
tion of’3l. with those of that which terminated on the 7th
inst. and it will be setn, that in nearly all the counties i.i
the upper section of the country, where Gov. Lumpkin
succeeded in ’3l, by overwhelming majorities, in the late
election he has lost grouud, an. in ma y of them, he was
i beaten by his opponent, Major Ciawtord. On the
other hand, nearly all the small counties in the interior,
| and on the sea-board, which have hitherto, so nobly and
gallantly sustained the Troup flag, in the late contest
they have deserteu the republican standard, under which
they were wont to rally; and it cannot be accounted, for
upon any oth. r principle, than in cons. qu. nee of the op
position o! Major t rawfo.tl, to the conventionprojec . So
that it is imp ssibl. that the election can be considered as
a free and unbiased expression of the Democratic freemen
of c.corgia. upon the respective merits anil principles of
the contending candidates. And instead ofits beine ta
k n as a favorable indication of the public sentiment in
support of those anti-republican principles, and that suici
dal policy, for which our political op|. nents have been so
acalousiy contci ding; we hail the election as a triumph
m favor ofthe great cause ol republicanism, and State
jli. .fits. And we have a confirmation of the position
which wa have assumed, “ as strong as proof of hr.ly
writ ’"in lilt, just indignation which our people have shewn
. ...anst the unhallowed project of the convention, and
iac failure of its advocates to carry it by thousands of
votes, A project, which sought to strike from the funda
mental law f the land, the great Southern principle of
r. oresentaticsi; the right of tinea fifths of theblack popu
lation tet be represented; and which, if its advocates had
succeeded in carrying, would have given a minority of
the people by forty thousand, a majority in the councils
ofthe state, and thereby have given them the entire con
trol ofthe legislation ofthe country.
But enothorconvincing p: oof of the triumphant suc
cess of the republican party in the late election, is to be
found in the -tote of parties, in the next legislature. The
R representatives ofthe people, when properly chosen, are
alwavs to be regarded as the delegate, exponents of the
public wil!;and it is a matter now phiced beyond all doubt,
a majority of the newly elected Members ofthe Le-
Legislate, are not only Troup men, but firm and un
it.uching advocates of the rights of the states. And we
shall be much -urprisi and if, at the ensuing session, reso
lutions are not passed, strongly expressive of the public
isapprobation against the principles of those high hand
ed measures, the Proclamation and Force Bill, which we
conscientiously believe had thru-origin in the worst pas
sions of the heart; and which has justly enkindled a hlaxe
ol indignation throughout the Southern States —and
these measures, if ever acted out, we firmly believe will
inevitably tend to the overthrow of our beautiful F edcral
■ystem, and to the destruction oftlie public liberty of the
country.

1 ~sh as an act of mere justice to the Judge,
charge to the jury, and the principal points
decided in the case, that our readers may have
before them the most authentic means ol detei
mining for themselves. If there ‘’an in truth hi
nny leaning found in this charge, it is against
the prisoner; but it is fact as near the line ,|
perfect im >artiality—it seems to us to come
as nearly up to that “level consideration” wt -i
his dut prescribed, as it was perhaps possu>.c
for any person to have assumed. The second
point decided seems not to be fully stated.
Standing as it does, it is in our opinion wrong;
for no evidifneo of threats made by the deceased
should have been allowed, unless a knowledge
ol them were carried home to the prisoner; but
we infer from the next point, that this was done.
