Trend softly, stranger! tliis is ground
V. hifh no rude footsteps should impress:
With U nder pity gaze around,
I.ut sadness all thy soul possess.
Tread softly ! lest thou crush the flowers
That o’er this turf are taught to wave,
Translated from their native bowers
To shed their sweets o’er ‘Beauty’s Grave.
And stranger let your melting heart
Mark well this fresh and verdant sod !
\nd ere you from the scene depart,
O! let your *oul commune with God.
Tints fade the fragile buds of earth,
Thus fade the lovely and the brave !
Come here ye thoughtless sons of mirth,
And pause awhile e’er‘Beauty’s Grave.*
Sweet withered rose! may thy pale doom
Call tears into the virgin’s eyo 1
Oh ! may the prospect of this toml
Remind her, ‘all that live must die !*
And warn her in the days of youth,
To think of him who being gave,
And bid her seek the ways of truth,
Like her who sleeps in ‘Beauty’s Grave !’

The Western Emigrant.
Amid those forest shades that proudly rear'd
Their unshorn beauty towards the favoring slues.
An axe rangsharply. There with vigorous aria
W rought a bold emigrant, while by his .side
His little son with question and response
Beguiled the toil.
“Boy, thou hast never seen
Such glorious trees, and when their giant trunks
Vail, how the (inn earth groans. Remember thou
The mighty river on whose breast we sailed
Go many days on towards ihr setting sun I
Compared to that, our own Connecticut
Is but a creeping stream.”
“ Father, the brook
That by out door went singing, when I launched
My tiny boat with all the sportive boys,
When sohool waso'wr, is dearer far tome
Than all these deep, broad waters. To my eye
They ate as strangers. And those little trees
My mother planted in the garden ground
W our first home, from whence the fragrant peach
Fell in its ripening gold, are fairer sure 1
Than this dark forest shutting out the day.”
“W hat, ho! my little girl,” and with a light
' step, " °
A fairy creature hastened towards her sire.
And setting down the basket that contained
The noon’s repast, looked upward to his face
With sweet confiding smile.
“ Sec, dearest, see
Yon bright-winged paroquet, and bear the sono
rtf the gay red-bird echoing through the trees
Making rich music. Didst thou over hear
In tar "sew England such a mellow tone 1”
* “I had a robin that did take the crumbs
Rack night and morning, and his chirping voice
Did make me joyful, as 1 went to ton 1
My snow-drops, i was always laughing there
In that hirst Ironic. 1 should he happier now
Methinks, if I could find among these dells
The same fresh violets.”
Slow night drew on,
\nd round the rude hut of the Emigrant,
flic wrathful spirit of the autumn st ~rin
Spake hitter things. His wearied children slept,
And lie, witli head declined, sat listenin'* lorn*
To the swol’n waters of the Illinois,
Dashing against their shores. Starting, he spake,
••W ile!did I see thee brush away a tearl * i
Say, was it so 1 thy heart was with the halls
rtf thy nativity. The sparkling lights,
Carpets and sofas, and admiring guests,
Benefit the belter than rugged walls*
rtf shapeles logs, and this lone hermit home.”
‘■No, no ! all was so still around, methought
Upon my enr that echoed him, did steal
Mi hich ’mid the church where erst we paid our
vows
So tuneful pealed. But tenderly thy voice
Dissolved the illusion:”—and the gentle smile
Lightning her how—the fond caress, that
soothed
Her waking infant, reassured his soul
'J'.'iat wheresoever the pure affections duxll
.Iml strike a health ful mot , is happiness.
Placid and grateful, to his rest he sank—
But dreams, those wild magicians, which do play
Such pranks when reason slumbers, tireless
wrought
Their v ill with him. Up rose the busy mart

The steed hishoyhood nurtured proudly neigh’d.
The favorite dug,exulting round his feet
1 risk’d with shrill, joyous bark—familiar doors j
Flew open—-greeting bauds with his were linked |
In friendship’s grasp—ho heard the keen debate j
From congregated haunts, where mind with mind I

WHO IJ \S SKF..V TIIK COMKT?
From the following paragraph, it appears, 1
that one •>:' rim two Comets that is looked for]
this year, is >.■ ti by a telescope.—
U any astronomers writ be on the lookout,
and ahmild behold this wandering stranger,
w“ •■sttoul-: oo obliged to him for a description
of its movements ■ j
“ A New York paper states that there is;
another comet now vi.,ib , which will arrive'
at its perihelion, or nearest distance to the
sun, in the month of May, lSllri, and will be
nearest to tint earth in June; and this comet
has been confounded with the cornet men
tioned by the German astronomers ; but this;
:• a small comet, scarcely visible, and at its
nearest approach is then near tiic orbit of
Mars. This comet may now be seen by m
telescope, due South, soon after the sun sets,
and about as high as the meridian son is in
tminer. its period is three years, three
months, and twenty six days, the shortest pe
riod of any comet yet known. It was last at
its perihelion, on January, 11th, 1829, and
will consequently arrive there in May; Inn
:t is too remote, and too small, ever to excite
attention,except front mistake or ignorance.
This comet was calculated by Damoiscau, and |
fieso fire the only two that will appear this
year; and lieu -c, the reports about Knkc and

The following story is marvellous. The na
tives believe that it actually occurred. 1
am disposed, however, to think all these
stories were originally fables, to impress a
moral upon the ignorant. “ Near a small
1 town, in the province of Oude, there is ajun
! gle, of some extent, inhabited by monkeys,
i A certain man, of the Hindoo class, residing
i m the town, resolved upon enjoying himself
! one day with a bottle of arrack he had pro
| cured by stealth, and, since it is well known
that spirits or fermented liquors arc prohibi
ted articles in the territories governed by
Mussulman itilers, the man betook himself,
with his tieat, to the neighboring jungle,
where in private, ho might drink the spirit he
loved, and escape the vigilance of the police.
Arriving at a convenient spot, the Hindoo
seated himself under a tree, prepared iiis
hookha, drew from his wrapper the bottle of
spirits and a small cup he had provided ; and
if ever he knew what happiness was in his
life, this moment was surely his happiest.—-
lie drank a cup of his liquor, smoked his
hookha with increased relish, and thought of
nothing but his present enjoyment. Present
ly he heard the sound of rustling in trees,
and in a few minutes after, a tine, sturdy
monkey, of the Lungoor tribe, placed himself
very near to linn and his bottle. The Hin
doo was ofa lively temper,and withal! kindly
disposed towards the living, though not of his
own species. Having a cake of dry bread
in his waistband, lie broke off a piece and
threw it to his visitor ; the monkey took the
bread and sniffed at the cup. Perhaps you
may like to taste as well as to sin- !i, thought
the Hindoo, as he poured out the liquor into
the cup, and pres ited it to his guest. The
monkey raised the cup with both hands to his
month, sipped off its contents, winked his
eyes, appeared well satisfied with the flavor,
and, to the surprise of the Hindoo, finished
the cup, which was no sooner done, tiian away
he sprang up the tree again.
Had 1 known you would run away as soon,
my guest 1 should have spared my arrack,
thought the Hindoo. But the monkey quick
ly returned to Ins old position threw down
a gold mohurto his entertain!r, and sat grin
ning with apparent satisfaction. The Hin
doo, astonished at the sight of gold, thought
to repay his b nefactor by another cup of
spirits, which he placed before the monkey,
who drank it oil, and again mounted the tree,
and shortly r turned with a second gold mo
bur. IF lig ■ and with the profit his arrack
produced the Hindoo drat, k sparingly himself,
for each time the monkey took a cup, a gold
mohur was produced, and the man counted
eight of tho ; ■ coins in his palm. By this
time, howev r, the monkey was completely
overcome by tiie strength of his potations,
and lay, apparently senseless, before the Hin
doo, who fancied now was his turn to mount
the tree, w i re he found, >n diligent search,
m a hollow place, a small bag of gold mo
burs, with which he walked off, leaving the
monkey prostrate on the earth. The Hindoo
determined on going some distance from his
home, in a different direction, fearing his se
cret treasure might be the means of drawing
him into di iiculties amongst the people of his
own town, who had probably been robbed bv
the monkev at some previous period, lnthe
mean while, the monkey is supposed to have
recovered fr >ni his stupor, and the next morn
ing. on discovering liis loss, he set up a hor- j
rid yell win h brought together all his fellow
inhabitants of the jungle ; and some neigh
boring villagers saw an immense number of
monkeys, o l ' all sorts and sizes, collected to
gether in a ody. The story runs, that this
army of monkeys was headed by the one who
had recover and from his drunken fit, and that
they marched away from the jungle in pur
suit of the robber. The first march was to
the adjacent village, where every house was
visited in turn by the monkeys, without sue
aess; no one ever venturing to obstruct or
drive away the intru h rs, fearing their resent
ment ; after which, they sallied out of the
village to the main road, minutely looking
for foot-stoos, as a clue, on the sandy > th-.
way ; and, by this means, discovering the
tract of the Hindoo, they pursued the road
they had c itered throughout the day and
night. Early iu the morning of the follow
ing day, the monkeys advanced to the.serai,
(or halting place for travellers) soon after
I the Hindoo had quitted it, who had actually
| adjourned there tho previous night? On the
road, when the notice of monkeys met any
traveller, he was detained by them until tho j
chief of them had scrutinized his features,
and he was then liberated," on finding he was
not the person they were in pursuit of. After
having mar died nearly forty miles from their
1 home they e -tored one of the halting places for
I travellers, where the Hindoo was resting, af
ter his day’s journey. 'Flic monkey, having
recognized t.ie robber, immediately grasped
him by the arm, & others entering, the fright
; ened robber was searched, the purse discov
ered in his wrapper, which the chief monkey
angrily seiz ed, an ! then counted over its con
tents, piece by piece. Tliis done, finding the
number corr’ct, the monkey selected eight
pieces, and t e w them towards the Hindoo;
and distributi :g the r unaimling number of
gold inohiirsa nongst the monkeys, who [Man
ed each his coin in the hallow of liis cheek,
i the whole bo ly retired from the serai, to re-
I trace their steps to the jungle.”— Mrs. Mccr

‘Well, well, I think it’s likely ; but do’nt;
tease me any more. Your brother has mar- j
ried a poor girl, one whom I forbid to marry, j
and I won’t forgive him if they both starve
together.’
This speech was addressed to a lovely gitl
scarcely eighteen years old—beautiful as the'
j lily that hides itself beneath the dark waters.
J She was parting tin silvery locks on Iter
j fathers high, handsome forehead, of which
j tier own was a miniature; and pleading the
cause of her delinquent brother, who had
married against her father’s will, and had
consequently been disinh rited, and left to
poverty, (did Mr. Whcatly was a rich old
[ gentleman, a resident of Boston. lie was a
lat good natured old fellow, some what given
to mirth and wine, and sat in his arm chair
from morning till night, smoking his pipe and
reading the newspapers. Sometimes a story
of his own exploits in our revolutionary bat
tles, filial up a passing hour. He had tuo
children, the disobedient son, and the beauti
ful girl before spoken of. The fond girl
went on pleading.
‘Dear father, tlo forgive him, you don’t
know what a beautiful girl he has marred,
and ’
‘1 think it’s likely,’ said the old man—‘bu>
1 don’t tease, open the door a little; this plaguy
I room smokes so.’
‘Well,’ continued Ellen, won’t you just see
her now, she is so good—and tiio little boy
—he looks so innocent.’
‘What did yon sav ?’interrupted the father,
‘a boy ! have Ia grand child ? why, why, El
len, 1 never knew that before ! but I think it’s
likely. Well now giveuic the chocolate,and
tin'll go to your music.’
Ellen left him. The old man’s heart be
gan to relent. ‘Well, ho went on, ‘Charles
was always a good boy, a little wild oi so at
College, but I indulged him ; and he was
always good to his old father, for all; but he
disobeyed me by marrying this poor girl; yet
as my old triend and fellow soldier, Tom
Bmn r used to say, wo must forget and for
give. I’oor Tom! I would give all the old
shoes I’ve got to know whatever became of
him. If I could hut find him orotic of liis
children—heaven grant they are not suffer
ing! Tliis plaguy smoky room—how my
eyes water!—lf I did but know who tliis girl
was, that Charles has married—but I have
never enquired her name. I'll find it out
and ’
‘Then you will forgive him,’ said Ellen,
rushing into the room.
‘I thin* it’s likely,’ said the old man.
‘Ellen l-.’d into the room a beautiful boy
about tuo years old. His curley hair and
lovely cheeks could not but make one love
him.
‘Who is that V said the old man wiping his
tears.
‘That—that is Charles’ boy,’ said Ellen,
throwing one of her arms round Iter fath r’s
neck, while with the other, she placed the
child on his knee. The child looked tender
ly up into his face, and lisped out ‘grand-pa,
what makes you cry so?’
The old man clasped the child to his bosom,
and kissed him again and again. After Ins
emotions had a little subsided, ho bade the !
child tell his name.
‘Thomas Bonner Whcatly,’ said the boy,
‘l’m named after grand-pa.’
‘What do I hear,’ said the old man, ‘Thom
as Bonner your grandfather ?’
‘Vest,’ lisped the bov, ‘and he lives with
Ma—’
‘Got me my cane!’ said the old man, and
come Ellen, you come along—be quick child.’
They started off at a quick pace, which
soon brought them to tne poor but neat loitg'-
ing of his son. There he beheld his old
! friend Thomas Bonner, sitting in the corner,
weaving baskets, while his swathed limbs
showed how unable he was to perform the
I necessary task. His lovely daughter, the wife
j of his Charles, was preparing their frugal
j meal, and Charles was out seeking employ
j ment to support his needy family. Mr, W.
j burst into tears.
‘lt’s .il rny fault!’ sobbed the old man, as
j he embraced Ins old friend, who was petrified
! with amazement. When they had become a
j little composed—‘Come,’said Mr. Whcatly,
i ‘come all of you home with me, we will ail
j live together; there is plenty of room in my
house for us all.' *
By this time Charles had come. lie asked
his father’s forgiveness, which was freely
! given, and Ellen was almost wild with jov.
‘Oh, how happy shall we be,’ she exclaim
j ed, ‘and fat her, you will love little Thomas so
; —and he’ll be your pet, won’t lie ?’
[ ‘Ay,’ said the old man, ‘I think it’s likely.’

A Tragedy (i om Real late.
The Norfolk Herald of Monday, relates the
following extraordinary occurrence.
Oil Ti;-: day last, Frederick Vi hitc, a far
mer, of North Landing, Princess Aim
County, called at our offic and requested us
to write an advertisement for him, the par
ticulars of which, as detailed by him, were
so extraordinary, that it was not until wc had
been at some trouble to obtain corroborative
evidence of liis statement, that we could ven
ture to publish it.
His story was to this effect.—A man nam
ed Simon Stone, of the same neighborhood,
went to White’s premises, in his absence,
on the Gth of February last, armed with a
gun ; concealed himself near the dwelling,
and watching the opportunity which was of
fered by White’s wife in going out some lit
tle distance from the house, seized her,
and with threats of instant death if she resist
ed or gave any alarm, forced her away with
him, with nothing but the clothes she had on,
and no covering to her head but a handker
chief. On returning home, White learnt tiic
astounding fact of his wife’s abduction by
Stone, from liis mother-in-law, and instantly
went in pursuit of her and her ravislier. He
traced them to Norfolk, where, to liis gr at
grief and disappointment, after some time
spent in fruitless enquiries, he learnt that
they had left in packet for the Eastern Shore.
Dejected and despairing of ever seeing In r
again, he returned home to his now desolate
dwelling. On the 19th of February, however,
his lost treasure was restored; his wife re
turned to his artas ; but forlorn and emaciated
from distress of mind and bodily sickness.—
She affirmed the fact of the threats of violence
used by Stone to make her go along with
him, and which had so alarmed her that she
durst not resist or call cloud lor help. Thus
overcome by her fears,she remained passive,
and submitted to his unchaste embraces, as
the alternative, as she believed, of life or
death, until siic found an opportunity to make
her escape from Ins hrutal duress.
The (brill, boating husband received her
again to his bosom, almost forgetting the
horrors of the past in the bright anticip .tions
of future happiness which beamed upon his ,
heart—when lo ! on the :30th of March, only I
six weeks after, the modern Tarquin again
came suddenly upon .Mrs. White as she was
cutting a pine broom from her thicket mar
her dwelling, and armed as before, with a
gun, again forced her from her family and
carried her off! Again the distracted hus
band pursued them to Norfolk, a.a! fortunate -
iy arrived just in tune to prevent a second
trip to the Eastern Shore, which he did by
rescuing his wife ; (hough Stone disappeared
hi foie a warrant could be taken cut for his
arrest; somewhat soothed, however, by the
recovery of his wife, the dearest jewel of ins l
soul, he gave up the pursuit of the cruel d.s
turber of Ins peace.
\\ ill the reader believe it ? ’Tis almost!
incredible, but nevertheless true —a third
time —a third time—yes, a third time did
tiie persevering spoiler of the peace of an in
offensive family return to the charge ! On
Tuesday week he entered the dwelling of
White, who was absent, with violent threats
and m naces forced away with him the
wretched victim of his brutality, in spite of
the remonstrances of her aged mother, and
the cries of her infant child.
Driven almost to madness by this mon
strous, this reiterated outrage, the deeply in
jured husband once more pursued tiie ab
sconded pair, but unable to gain any tidings
of them, resolved to make his case known to
the public by an advertisement, which was
accordingly done in our lasi Friday’s paper.
Returning home, where he arrived on
Thursday afternoon, he was told by Ins moth
er-in-law that his wife had been brought'
home in his absence by Stone, but that the
monster had permitted her to stay only until
she took some re(V'shinent. It was in vain
that she implored him lo let her remain with
her family ; with a demoniac laugh he bade
her come along with him, instantly, or lie
would shoot her on the spot. The wretched
woman, however, found an opportunity to let
her mother know that her husband might find
her that night at a hog pen in which she and
Stone had slept the night before (the situation
of which she described ;) or if not there,
they would certainly be at one Johnson Hen
ley’s, a few miles oil’. Accordingly White
repaired to the hog pen, but not finding them
there, proceeded to Henley’s where lie learnt
that they were expected to sup and lodge that
night, but that they had not then arrived.—
White then called on a constable (having
previously provided himself with a warrant)
and told him where Stone might be taken,
directing him to beat Henley’s very early in
the morning, before Stone should be stirring.
He then returned to reconnoitre Henley's
house, anil saw through a window, his wife
and Stone seated at the supper table. He
continued to watch them until he saw them
both leave the table and go up stairs together,
when lie returned for the constable.
In the morning, before sun.rise, White
(who had with him a musket loaded with a
hall and buck shot,) the constable, and three
r four others assembled in H p’s yard*—
Stone was iimncdiutely apprised of titer am.
vnl, by Henley : and seizing his gun lie rush
ed down stairs and out at the back door. —
The alarm was instantly given to those in
front of the house, that Stone was unking off,
! when White ran around to the hack of lh<
I house to head him. Stone, though some dis
tance off, on seeing White, wheeled ana
levelled his gun at him—it was an awful mo
ment tor White. lie saw the man who had
poisoned his happiness and robbed him of his
peace, in the very act of consummating the
injuries he had inflicted, by taking his life ;
yet, nothing daunted, lie pushed forward—
the “click” of his adversary's gun w.w heard
—but White’s better genius prevailed—the
gnu missed fire. W ithout waiting for a sc
eond aim, Stone pursued his way a few steps
further, when, turning to observe W bite, lie
struck !,is foot against a fence rail and fell
over it. White was then within 30 yards of
him, and pointing his.gun at Stone, tired as
he rose, and Stone received nearly the whole
charge in his hip, the ball and some of the
shot, from the position ho was in, passing
turn’ the kidi ;. Thu’ tnor ,!ly wound* V
he did not fall, out almost in iltfiat.ee of na
ture preserved his position, and again levelled
.jihe fatal gun at hi-, antagonist—and again it
missed fir. 1 U- then fell; hut summoning
jail his strength, lie raced himself oil his
j cl how and once more essayed to fir - his piece,
j Hut still itdcceived him ; he then sunk prone
I and senseless upon the ground and expired
jin a few hours alter, clinging to his gun the
! while with a death-grasp.
W Into has been taken into custody until an
j examining court can he convened on his case
j when it is presumed he will he admitted to
hail.
Stone was only 23 year:, of age, rather tin
[ der the middle size, with a physiognomy that
' might have put any cautious man on hisguard,
and a character of the most rofligate stump,
lie had married at the age of 21, a dumb wo.
man, who was much his Senior, in considera
tion of a small plantation,which she posscsed;
and having sold it, he no longed regarded
his matrimonial obligations. lie had been
a frequent visitor at W hite's, and had taken
liberties with his wife which were not con
sidered within the pale of propriety, and
which had induced White to forbid him his
house.
Mrs. White is 32 years of age, and of a
| pale and sickly cast of countenance, and pos
sessing none of those fascinating qualities
which might be judged sufficient to ensnare
one of the other sex to his ruin,
j W liitc bears the character of an inoffensive
| man, passionately attached to his wife as lias
j been shewn, tho’ somewhat stinted both in
his corporeal and intellectual dimensions.
