There’s a tear in that eye,
In that bosom, a sigh,
Soon may that wounded gentle one heave it;
And the tear that doth shine,
In its tremulous shrine,
When ’tis shed, may kind mercy receive it.
For thero was time.
When unsullied by crime,
That eye beam’d with seraphic splendour;
And there was a day,
When the undulate sway
Of that bosom, wu stainless and U nder,
The cruel one cam s —
And snowy plume fame
With meek innocence fled the fair bower ;
And the heart’s gem and sigh,
To that bosotri and eye,
Have always been kliown since hour.
The tear has been shed,
And the sigh too hath lied,
The sorrowing one is forgiven :
The eyelid is sealed,
That bosom is healed
And the purified soul is in Heaven. R-

AN' INDIAN FUNERAL SONG.
Thou art here, and yet, thou art gone!
Thou look’st as thou did’st below ;
Thou seemest a man, yet art none,
Thou art gone to return no more.
Thou art, yet hast ceased to be ;
Thy form and thy face appear,
Thou hast eyes, yet thoucanst not see,
Thou hast ears, yet thou canst not hear.
Was it thou that talk’d with us erewhile 1
Was it thou that went with us to fight;
t Was it thou that shrtired battle and toil,
Was it thou that wert with us last night.
Yes thou art here, and yet art away,
We see thee, and yet thou are not;
Thy life is like yesterday —
And nothing remains but what’s not.
That something which /nade thee alive,
Where is it—what was it—Where, Where 1
’ Twcs a spirit —that still must survive,
In the stars, or the sky, or the air.
To that spirit these honors we pay
That spirit which still hears us mourn—
Tli at somethiug which ne’er shall decay,
That something which ne’er shall return.

WILLIAM AND MARY.
"Wherefore, Laura, seem so sad,
When all nature’s blithe and gay !
-Eee the little birds are glad—
Canst thou not be glad like they 1
Once thou wert and may be now—
Drive the.sadaess from thy orow,
Gentle zephyrs fan the plain
Fragrant flowers bloom again.
All the maidens’ hearts are glad
ihine excepted —thine is sad.”
“Mino a maiden’s heart is now,
Yeti grieve to think how soon,
imust take the marriage vow.”
“Grieve at heaven’s highest boon!
Dost thou doubt thy William's love 1
Can’st thou doubt the faith he swore 1
Tell me by the pow’rs above!
Dost thou think 1 less adore
Laura’s beauty, Laura’s gn-co
Laura’s heart-purloining face,
Than when first I ask’-l of thee
William’s wedded wife to be 1”
“\Y illiam’s heart 1 never fear’d—
William's constancy I knew
William’s love 1 evor shared
William shared of Laura’s too—
Yet it makes me sad of Ireart,
When I hear the maiden’s say
“We and Laura soon must part
The morrow is her bridal day ”
This, O William! makes me sad—
But thy presence makes me glad”
“Once more I see my Laura smile,
O how it cheers my heart the while.
To-morrow’s suu shall crown our bliss
And seal our loves— but one more kiss.”
SIMPLICITY.
The more I see the world, ihe more I am
Satisfied that simplicity is inseparably the
companion of true greatness. I never yet
knew a truly great mau—a man who o\\ flop
ped his fellow men, who did not possess a
certain playful, almost infantile simplicity.
True greatness never struts on stilts, or play#
the king upon the stage. Conscious of its <i
evation, and knowing in what the elevation
consists, it is happy to act its part like com
mon men in the common amusements and
business of mankind. It is not afraid of bc
-irn' undervalued for its humility. Of this
class is Chief Justice .Marshall, than whom a
more clear and comprehensive and profound
lawyer never perhaps adorned the bench of
any country. In his hours of relaxation he
is playful as a child. He is So: nl of rural
sports and exercises, which he enters upon
with all the generous ardor yf youth ? and at
[considerably more than] sixty years old he
is one of the best quoit players in Virginia.
I think it was in the summer 1820 I met
him at the Saturday quoit club near Rich
mond, where were assembled half a dozen
•nave judges, several distinguished persons of
various professions, and, though last, not least
an artist, the prince of originals and the best
jtory teller in existence. A match was made
and the Chief Justico throwing ofl' his coat,
fell to work with as much ardor as if he was
going to decide a question of neutral rights,
or one involving the conflicting jurisdictions
of sovereign Stales.
A man wlto thus fearless of letting himself
do vn to the level of his fellow men, in the
ordinary amusements and relaxations of life,
whatever eloyation he may have reached,
must possess that innate consciousness of
which is itself sufficient evidence o;

its own existence. Those who arc afraid of
being undervalued or despised for mixing with
their fellow creatures are of the < rdiflary, ev
ery day race of men, whom chance has made
great, and who, like the inmates, shut their
windows lest people may come nigh enough
to detect the abject poverty within.

GEORGIA, DE KALB COUNTY.
De Kalb Superior Court, April Term, 1831.
The State, i
vs. V Indictment for Murder
William Chowder, y
THE CASE.
At the last Superior Court of De Kalb Cos.
a man by the name of William Crowder was
indicted for the murder of his wife and child,
and among a number of facts that appeared in
evidence, and which satisfied the juiy of his
guilt, the following seemed to be the most
prominent.
The prisoner had been employed in the ca
pacity of an ovefscer, and lived near the house
of his employer. About ten o’clock at night
in May hist, his employer awoke and heard
the roaring'of fire. lie sprung from his bed,
and upon reaching the door, discovered the
prisoner's house in flames. lie called up two
or three of his negroes and hurried to the place;
when arrived there, hearing no noise anu find
ing every thing perfectly still, except the
noise-of the burning, the negroes became a
larmed and begged their master to return, in
timating that there was some bad design in
the appearances. He however remained,
and after walking round the house, the roof
of which was just falling in, he heard a whis
tle at some short distance. Listening for a
moment, it was repeated. This greatly in
creased the alarm of the negroes, and they
again urged their master to return ; but being
a resolute and firm man, lie immediately star
ted in the direction of the noise, which was
again repeated. The ground, towards the
the place of the sound, was a long slope, and
he had fancied it proceeded from the opposite
hill. Fixing his eye and ear upon that point,
he was moving thither, when all at once he
came suddenly upon the object from which
it issued. It was the prisoner lying on the
ground, who with much difficulty raised him
self upon his left arm and hand. He found
his throat cut and bleeding, and was very
bloody from the neck downwards. He asked
the prisoner who had served him so ? He
could not or did not speak, but held up his
rigid band, giving it at the same time a sud
den turn or two upon the wrist. He then ask
ed him where his family was? lie waved his
hand towards the house. “ Arc they burnt up?”
He nodded assent with his head. The wit
ness then sent his negroes, and went himself
to summon the surrounding neighbors. When
they returned they took the prisoner back to
the house, and upon examining him, they
found the windpipe cut about half in two, but
the prisoner, by pressing up the orifice with
his hand, could speak so as to be understood.
There being use for an axe, ho was asked
where his was? He replied that in the cv
nirig he had used it in splitting lightwood.and
placed it under the corner of tiro house.—
Search was made for it at that place, but it
was not found. lie was then asked where
his razor was? lie said it was in his trunk,
w hich stood by (he foot of the bed. The bo
dies of the wife and child were now perceiv
ed in two separate bundles, through the in
tervals of the burning logs of the house. Af-,
ter the flames had somewhat subsided, an at
tempt was made to get them out. The bed
upon which they had laid was nearly consu
med to ashes, but from the clothing, feathers
and straw about it, they wdre plainly distin
guishable from the surrounding ashes ; and it
had fallen, together with the bodies, to the
ground, with its outlines distinctly marked.
The child was lvingon the edge near thcwall,
the mother in the middle. A razor blade lay and
near the head of the child, & an axe near their
feet, all within the print of the. hod as before
described. The hinges and lock of tho trunk
were found near the foot, where he stated it
was standing, llis knife, shut, was found
near the head, but outside of the print, as
though his clothing had been hung on one of
the bedstead posts, and after burning, dropt
their contents immediately by that corner.—
The prisoner was found with a different waist
coat and pantaloons from those he had on the
evening before, and they were quite clean.
Irj accounting for his situation, he stated he
w as asleep, and the first thing lie knew, some
person had placed their hand over his eyes
and suddenly cut his throat,and then emptied
a straw’ bed over him, to which fire was in
stantly communicated, and amidst the flames
he jmnpcd tip, snatched the waistcoat and
nantujpons hanging neat him, which he threw
over ami around hishead, and fled to the place
w here lie was found. There w’as the appear
ance of straw about his fuiir, and lie wassmart
ly burnt iu one or two places. Upon getttng
out the bodies, tho child was found w rapped
up very carefully, first in cotton bats about its
body, and then three sets of clothing. The
skin was not burnt, or hut very little, and its
throat was cut. The mother was also wrap
pod up in certain clothing, but was much
burnt and disfigured, particularly, about the
head, breast and arms. The bones ofher bead
separated, and a large clot of blood was dis
covered among her brains, into which they
appeared to be sticking, in a cooked state.
It seemed that he lived a inisorable life
with his wife, on account of the passion of
jealousy, for the oxistence of which there ap
peared, unfortunately too much reason. They
had parted frequently, and on one occasion,
lie had attempted her life with a razor. lie
had strongly intimated that he could not and
would not live in such a state of torment, and
that he would kill his child rather than if
should he raised by his wife’s father,to whom,
in the countenance and protection of his
daughter in her misconduct, he had nttrihit
ted much of his misfortunes. For about three
weeks before the murder, they had lived in
an unusual state of turmoil and confusion, and j
in that time he had been beaten by the man
whom ho suspected and believed to be the]
) cause of his injury. It was further in testi.
rnony that he was. passionately fond of his
wife and child, and that amidst ali his misfor
tunes he wanted her to live w ith him,and was
wretched in the extreme n It"never she left
him, and could never rest until he could pro
cure he r return. There w< re* other circum
stances and confessions, which seemed to
leave no doubt of his guilt; and accordingly
the jury were not out more than ten minutes
before they returned a verdict of GLILLY.
The remarks of Judge CT—IYTOX, previous to
passing sentence upon Ihe prisoner, published by the
request of the Bar.
The unfortunate prisoner is brought up to
receive sentence ot death for the crime of
murder. It is usual, as well as profitable, to
employ such an occasion in reflections that I
are calculated !t> awaken, either in the bosom I
of the criminal or the minds of the communi
ty, a sense of ihe deep misfortune ever atten
dant upon crime. Four times, within five
months, have I been compelled to perform
this most painful duty; and 1 can say, in great
truth, no case has so seriousiy assailed the
firmness due to my office, and none ever can
so entirely overcome the force of my feelings.
The frequency of this solemn scene bespeaks
a condition of society, if not alarming, at least
of so distressing an import, as to claim and
deserve all the aid and all the influence be
longing to every moral Mid legal institution,
tending to remove from the social structure f
such a fatal infirmity. The lesson which this I
tragedy conveys, is such as to arrest the wild- i
cat impulse of passion, to soften tho strongest!
cravings of malice, and to disarm thrnnostop
durate purpose of its revenge. He who now
hears the story of the prisoner’s crime, and
beholds the last consequences of his guilt, just
about to inflict the finishing blow to his ruin,
and does not feel his whole heart shrinking
from the wayward courses of vice, must soon
er or later fall a victim to the same shame and
confusion with which it is his misfortune to
be so signally overwhelmed.
From a long course of observation, made
from a station where human depravity is for
ever passing under every possible variety, my
mrnd has received the settled conviction that
by far the greatest number of crimes have
their origin in a most criminal defect of early
education. I will venture the opinion, and
safely depend for its confirmation upon the
findings of future experience, that whenever
the moral powers and capacities of the mind
shall have been well understood, most of its
aberrations from duty will be found to spring
from some remote misdirection of principle in
tender years, and winch never loses its bins
until it breaks out into some overt act of folly
or crime. The mind is a fruitful soil, as true
to the grain, be it good or bad, cast upon its
field, as is the faithful earth to the great vari
ety of seeds committed to its bosom. Then,
of what infinite importance is the business
of moral instruction—of suitably cultivating
the youthful intellect! Laws, though salutary
in ridding society of the offender, can <!o
him no good after his principles are fixed; this
is the priceless work of other agencies, and
must be employed from the moment the mind
is prepared to receive the slightest impresions.
It has been the peculiar and anxious core of
the ago, by all those benevolent institoQkmx
which can improve the moral frame of socie
ty, so to train and direct the rising genera
tion, as to divert it from those vicious habi
tudes found adverse to its peace, into w hich,
by nature and practice, it is prone to fall, and |
which never fail to terminate in disasters'
closely allied to those which the present scene j
exhibits. If, then, their object is to avert ;
misery so tragic, misfortune so touching, and j
delinquency so destroying, how ought every j
good man to encourage the efforts, and
strengthen the hands, of those that are. enga
ged in such an invaluable labor; and to in
crease and diffuse the means designed to
accomplish an object fraught with such un
speakable blessings to society. The late un
usual prevalence of crime, of a character so
malignant, calls for the serious and combined
exertion ofall those concerned in its suppres
sion, citherns private citizens, public func
tionaries, or ministers of divine truth. The
present case is one that must stir lip into live
ly emotion all those generous affections that
have been so much displayed and exercised
in disseminating the principles of virtue and
religion, and upon which mainly depends the
amelioration of the moral condition of the
people.
To the unfortunate prisoner I have but a
few remarks to make, and these are far from
being intended to reproach his calamity. The
plainest history of his case, is too strong for
the most unregulated credulity. The testi
mony would seem to warrant this belief, that
actuated by the miserable passion of jealousy,
and giving a rein to the most unbridled re
venge, lie has dashed out the brain# of his
wife, cut the throat of his infant child, attemp
ted his own life, and burnt down his dwelling
over the mangled bodies of his murdered fam
ily.
There is presented in this ease some
most amazing and complicated features of
horror and despair, that perhaps ever resulted
from a mind overcome by that consuming
passion to which allusion has just been made.
It seems no man had a more ardent attach
ment to his family, and though he lived in a
state of successive miseries, and an ever
shifting scene of wretchedness, yet never
was the firmness of his regard, the constancy
of his kindness,>or the tenderness of hisaf
fection, shakcued and impaired for the part
ner of his bosom,mid their unhappy offspring.
In analyzing this deed, one is constrained to
say that the mind of its author urns givenup
to the sport of every passion, and that they
wielded their inexorable influence under ev
ery diversity of wanton caprice.
To his own imagination, doubtless, the act
has been justified from the softer passions of
shame, pity and despair. From shame, he
struck at his own existence; from pity, he de
stroyed his child: and from hopeless and un
requited love, he murdered his wifi—but
when this case is subjected to the scrutiny of
the law, and the truer arbitrament ofitsbet
tr judgment, that same shame is turned in
to cowardice, that pifv into cruelty, and that
love into revenge. The motives leading to
this catastrophe are of the most singular, as
well as inexplicable character; and the facts
that define itsldoody outline, being too un- (
natural for reality, present a scene of horror 1
which in the distance of receding and fading
events, will pass into the region of fiction,
anti will finally belong to the tales of fancy.
It has been elsewhere justly said, that “if
one man had any how slain another, if an ad
vi rsary had killed his opposer, or a woman
occasioned the death of her enemy, even these
criminals would have been capitally punish
ed.” But, what must be the character of that
crime, where it is perpetrated upon a woman
and infant: the first confiding, the Other help
less? Where that woman is a mother and that
infant her child ! where th..t mother and in
fant are the w ife and child of the murderer,
and where that murderer disclaims ail malice,
and professes to have been directed by a prin
ciple ‘every way opposed to the feelings of
hatred! A principle which he had resolved
atone time, should be his ruling passion in
death, and which nothing but death should
control. I have mentioned these things by
no means to assail or harrow up your feelings,
but to remind you that if these objects w ere
so dear to you that the idea of leaving or los
ing them became intolerable to you, how much
should you be concerned in being prepared
to meet them, w here the miserable inquicG
ness of human life, that so disastrously rob
bed you, of them here, will never again dis
turb that possession ofthem winch certainly
awaits your repentant supplications.
In a few weeks the end of w hich you
sought to put to your own existence, will be
inevitably accomplished by the more sure
and steady arm of the law, and you will have
to meet the very wife and child you have so
suddenly hnrried from time, and on account
of whom, doubtless, you have undergone the
keenest sufferings. You may yet meet these
dear objects of your misfortune, these inno- i
cent victims of your infatuation, these uncon- j
scions instruments of your infamy, under j
circumstances that may change your despair,
into hope, your grief into smiles, and vour
despondency into joy. But this can only be by j
seizing, and that w ithout delay, those conso-,
lations w hi h Christianity is forever tendering
to every shade and degree of human delin
quency. Themutspread and extended arms
of mercy, as known through the proffers obj
our holy religion, are co-exiensive with the j
widest range of guilt. It cannot he too great
for its charity; it cannot be too broad for its
benevolence; it cannot be too deep for its
power, too distrustful for its sincerity, nor too
dejected for its solace. As you have but a
short time to live, and must live out that brief
remnant utterly excluded from every hope of
forgiveness here, let me beseech you, by all
your hopes of future happiness, by all your
wishes to embrace once more your wife and
child, by every consideration which can in
duce you to have the stain of murder washed
from your hands, seek to be forgiven, where it
w ill not only be full and free, but where it will
come crowned w ith the most unmixed and en
during repose.
“Mirth, that wrinkled cate derides,
“And Laughter, balding both bis sides.”
An English bishop was making a tour to vis
it his diocese. The weather being extremely
sultry, my Lord descended from his carriage
to enjoy the cool air in a wood by the side of
the road.—A curate, sorrily mounted, passed
him ; the bishop asked him where he was go
ing. “To Farmhand,” answered the poor cu
rate. ‘ln that case, sir,’replied the other, in
a tone as if he would be condescending, ‘I beg
you to call at the first inn, and order a good
dinner to be provided forme.’ ‘Will your
grace dine alone V said the curate, who possi
bly expected an im itation, ‘Certainly, sir.’—
The poor curare was a man of wit and fond of
a joke ;he felt delicacy wounded by the i
nature of the commission with which lie was
intrusted, and to revenge himself, ho desired j
the inkeeper to prepare a dinner of three j
courses, and an elegant desert for twelve dis
tinguished members of the clergy, with the !
bishop at their head.
The prelate on his arrival was not a little as
tonished by so many preparations; but what
was his surprise when he saw the bill of far;
that had been ordered. He rang tire bcK and
ordered up the host, whom he addressed in an
angry mood. “llow could you suppose that
one person can have need of such an abun
dance of provisions ?” ‘My Lord, your mes
senger announced twelve persons to me at
least; tire bishop of G ” ‘Thatisiny

Charles the Fifth going to see the cloister
of the Dominicans at Vienna, fell in with a
peasant upon the road who was carrying a pig;
the noise of which being disagreeable to the
Emperor, he asked the peasant if he had not
learned the method of making a pig be quiet?
The rustic confessed ingeniously that he had
not, and added that he should be very glad to
he acquainted with it. “Take the pig by the
tail,” said the Emperor, “and you will see
that it will soon be silent.” The peasant find
ing that the Emperor was in the right, said,
“You must have learned your trade much
earlier than I, Sir, since you understand it a
great deal better.

It is well known that Fete: the Groat in
spected with lire greatest attention and care,
the work-shops of different artists. He Ifrc
quented that of Muller, who was master of a
forge in Istria, and learned thereto forge bars
of iron. One of the last days which he pass
ed in (hat place, he forged eighteen feet (a
foot weighs forty pounds nearly.) One of the
gentlemen of his bed-chamber and his boy
ards supplied coals, stirred the fire, and work
ed the bellows. When Peter had finished,
he went to the proprietor, praised his manu
factory, and asked him how much he gave his
workmen per foot. “Three copecks of an al
tinq,” answered Muller.—“Very well,” re
plied the Czar; “I have then earned eighteen
I altinas.” Muller fetched eighteen ducats,
■ offered them to Peter, and told him that he
j could not give a workman like his Majesty
less per foot. Peter refused—“ Keep your
ducats,” said lie, “I have not wrought better
i than any other man ; give me what you would
give to another: I want to buy a pair of shoes,
of which lam in great need.” At the same
time lie shewed him his shoes, which hud
been once mended, and were again lull oi
holes. Peter accepted the eighteen aliinas,
and bought himself a pair of new shoe s, which
he used to shew with much pie ‘sure, saying,
“These learned with the sweat of my brow.”
VANITY.
A merchant of Antwerp named John D-eec
having lent sonie inillioi s of money to tb;
Emperor Charles the Fifth, begged him to do
him the honor of coining to dine with him. —
The Emperor, loth to refuse on account oi
ft*: obligation under which he was, accepted
the offer, and went to his house at the tune
appointed. The merchant spared nothing to
gratify his royal guest, and, animated with a
generosity rarely to be met with, caused lire
to be set to a pile of cinnamon, and taking the
bond which his Majesty had given him as a
security for his money ..threw it into the flames
saying, “.Sire, you are new out of my debt.”
For the edification of the Temperance So
ciety folks, the following anecdote is most re
spectfully furnished. They may locate Sarah

“Sarah,” said an innocent Abigail to her
sister gossip, who had like licrs-1. and their
crony, joined the Temperance Society—“Sa
rah—Sarah,” says she, “don’t you think our
Suze keeps a bottle ! 1 found it yesterday be
hind the flour barrel in the pantry, with bran
dy in it.” “Law, soul! you don’t say so! Well
that beats all! b uzcand 1 found i /ours the day
before, and had a good sung /” “Well—don’t

to do as we please by conches, but it is wrong
to set a bad example.
