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- For the Maron Advertiser. 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. OLIO. SELECTED. From the Examiner.

"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; T 1 IE MX CON AI >VKi IT I ER, AND AD Rl CCLTt lIAL AM) MKRCaNTIL E INTE LJLIU KNUKK. 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.

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 st If.’“The dean of Sulisbury’T ‘am the dean.’ ‘The prebendary of Winchester.’ ‘I am he also.’ ‘The vicar of .’ ‘lt is I.’ ‘The head of the college of .’ ‘St ill that is myself.’ ,Thc .’ Stop, stop I know all ike rent of the guests. You may go.” 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. -<3£e- 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 and Suzc where they please. “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 tel! any body.” “Law, no.
