Frmt Dtushty's Cabinet of Xatural History. STANZAS. 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. —: XX 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.

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 rimonial engagenssnts to any one, which part of t our name (No —yes) might I take for an answer. *'i he first, said she in the same tone. ‘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.

When Mr. Durant arrived immediately above them, he hailed tnem to ascertain if the town in. sight j was B* 1-Air.

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 woman, in the village, who was just going home from the pump, with a bucket of water on her h. ad, is said to have dropped her bucket, water and all. and made “streaks” for home “a le.-lle thequickeat,” screaming “Mur det !

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. —: W&- ■— Tile {fallowing is a list of Members elected to serve at the next session oftlie Legislature.
