THE INFANT’S SLUAIBER. \
The ‘ Infant's Slumber ■ is the itle of the following
exquisie song, which has just been published by At
“’ill, the poetry B. Phillips, Esq., arranged to a
• popular Southern refrain by \\ atst n. We have sel
dom met w ith a ballad of greater beauty and pathos.
The summer moon was beaming bright,
The earth was patli’J in silv’ry light,’
When by a tomb of spotless white
A mother knelt in prav’r—
Her babe was on her breast
Tn sweet unconscious rest, r
‘Then plaintively she thus address'd
Her infant slumb’ring there—
Oh! sleep, my darling, sleep.
Sad vigil l must keep,
A ou must no: see your mother weep,
Nor witness her despair.
Ah! tell me if that smile which seems
The omen of your infant dreams,
As o'er your baby face it beams,
BcMokens joy or woe ?
Say, in your slumbers tight
In visions fair and bright,
A our Father meets your happy sight—
And you, that Father know
Oh ! sleep, my darling, sleep,
Sad vigil l must keep,
A ou must not see your mo'her weep,
Unseen her tears must flaw.
To me no happy dreams arise,
Repose niv widow’d pillow flies—
I have not clos’d my weary eyes
Since his were clos’d < n me.
Bu; yon can sweetly rest
Upon your mother’s breast,
Altlio’ with sorrow ’tis oppress'd,
Its grit-so can harm not thee.
Then sieep myrdarling, sleep,
Sad vigil I must keep,
A'ou must not see your mother'tveppCT,,
Her tears must viewless be. N
And still her plaintive lullaby
She sang unseen by mortal eye,
While yet her orphan boy did lie
Iri slumber on her breast.
But soon it died away,
And when the rosy (lay
Shone forth both child and mother lay
In sweet eicrnal rest—
For with the mists of night
j Their spirits wing’d their flight
\ To realms of endless joy and li o ht,
To dwell among the blest!
From the New A'orkcr.
‘IIOAV CHEERY ARE THE MARINERS!’
BY PARK BENJAMIN.
How cheery are the mariners—
Those lovers of the sea!
Their hearts are like its yesty waves,
As bounding and as free.
They whistle win n the storm-bird wheels
tn circles round ihe mast ;
And sing when det p in f.iain the ship
Ploughs onward to the blast.
What care the mariners fir ga'es?
There’s music in their rear,
When wide the berth along the lee,
And leagues of room before.
Let billows toss to moun ain heights,
Or sink to chasms low :
The Vi's.', 1 w i.'.l lido it out,
Nor reel beneath the blow.
With streamersdown arid canvass furled,
‘The gallant hull will skat \
Securely, as on inia and lake
A siiken-tasseled boat;
And sound asleep some manners,
And some, with watchful eyes,
Will fearless be of dangers dark
That roll along the skies.
God keep those cheery mariners!
And temp r all the gales
That sweep against the rocky coast
To their slorm-shatteied sails ;
And men on shore will bless the ship
That could so guided be,
Safe in the hollow of His hand,
To brave ihe mighty sea !
INFAMOUS VILLAINY AND TERRIBLE
RETRIBUTION.
The annexed revolting and horrible storv,
‘ an over true tale, 5 cornea to us from the Up
ton (Uno.) Journal. So circumstantially is
the whole account related, that we think
there can be no doubt of its truth ; yet it is
terribly strange—‘stranger than fiction. 5
It is not often that we publish statements so
full of harrowing: interest ; but the singula
r>ty of the events at (heir denouement, im
parts to them a sacrificial solemnity, like that
which hung about the course of a Joan of
Arc, or a Clia-rlotte Corday. Whatever may
he thought of the maddened heroism of the
desperate wife and mother by whose dread
hands ihe sanguiirary catastrophe was con
summated. language cannot sufficiently exe
crate ihe immeasurable wickedness by which
it was excited.
In ihe spring of 1533, two voting ladies,
sisters, named Louisa and Ellen Price, of
Llangenoch Park, were placed by their wid
owed mol her at Ihe boarding school of the
celebrated Mrs. Sherwood, between Powick
and Worcester, three miles from the lo I ter
place. Louisii was then about IG, and Ellen
14 years ol age. It appears that Mrs. S. was
in the habit of assembling her pupils and
friends of both sexes every olher week, ffir
ihe purpose of performing concerts of sacred
music. To these parlies there came, among’
others, two young merchants from Worces-j
ter. named Harris and Benson.
We pass over the occurrences of three |
years, during which lime these two young j
creatures naturally interesting, and gifted
with superior abilities, were singled out by
Harris and Denson lor their marked and un
divided attentions ; these becoming obvious,
were communicated bv Mrs. S. to tiie rnolher,
between whom and tiie young men an ex
planation took place, and they were ulti- j
mately received at her house as the future |
husbands of her daughters. A brother of
Mrs. Price’s dying in 1535, left them, it seems,
a sum of money, on condition of their not
marrying until they attained, respectively,
the age of twenty-five; and as the mother
refused her sanction to the marriage of her
daughters until the arrival of that time, the
circumstance was made a pretext hy their.
professed lovers to induce them to consent to
an elopement and private marriage ; and in ;
an evd hour, these two innocent girls, with j
all the fond affection of young and confiding i
hearts, embarued their future worldly hopes I
and happiness in one frail baik—the honor!
of their admirers—and eloped with them be
fore daybreak from Mrs. Sherwood’s house.!
They proceeded to a neighboring church i
(Ilailotv) a few miles off, 1 lie keys of which !
thev had obtained bv bribing ~the sexton, j
who asserts that he was totally ignorant of,
their intentions. Here a mock ceremony nfj
marriage was perfiirmed bv an accomplice, I
who was dressed in the habiliments of a cler-:
gvman. They resided H>r some months after !
this in a cottage ornee in the suburbs nfj
Worcester; and here in April, 1837, Louisa, j
the eldest, gave birth to a daughter, lhe child j
of Mr. Benson, to whom she thought herself
married. In June of the same year, Harris
proceeded to Lisbon on busmess connected
with the firm, where, as it subsequently turn
ed out, he married a daughter of Mr. Kent,
a wine merchant, of the frm of Kent and
Brothers. He returned to England in Feb
rnarv of this year, bringing his real wife with *
him. and purchased a house at Kempsey, on’
the banks of the Severn. Soon after Harris’s!
return. Benson left Louisa, then the mother of j
two children, with whom and her sister he
had been constantly living tin to that time,!
and took up his residence in Harris’s house,
from which he.sent the unfortunate v c.tims a
letter, slating the facts in relation to the vil
lainy practised noon them, and offering in the
name of himself and partner, to make a set
tlement upon them by way of reparation.
Words would Jail describing the shock
produced by the communication of this to
tally unexpected blow, which robbed them o!
all that rendered life, in their estimation,
worth preserving.
Ellen died a tbrtnight after in the lunatic
asylum, near Droitwich, in the arms of her
sister, whose mind, it seem, was sustained bv
her determination to execute a fearful ven
geanee on the guilty causers of their hitler
sufferings, which she too fearfully performed.
Learning that her pretended husband was
to lie married on the 19ih of March, and that
he was to return from Worcester to Kemp
sey on Ihe preceding evening in a gig with
Harris, to the latter, sfie planned and put in
operation the following frightful mode ol’retri
bution.
After strangling her two infints, and leav
ing a letter on the table, stating that she
would not let them live to hear of their mo
ther’s disgrace, she, dressed in man’s clothes,
armed herself with a brace of pisfois, and
knowing the probable time of their approach, j
took tier station in a small shrubbery mid- j
way up a steep ascent, where the road over
hangs the r ver. On the approach of the
gig, it appears that she discharged both the
pistols, one of which to >k effect in the brain
of Mr. Benson, who was driving, and who
feli dead from his seat ; the horse* taking
fright, started off; and before Mr. Karris
could seize the reins to arrest him, plunged j
over the cliff into the river, where both horse j
and rider were drowned. The poor girl was !
found quite dead, weltering in her blood I
(having stabbed herself) across the lifeless ;
RiKfjMjf Benson. The horse and gig floated ;
on to bridge, where they were
taken out of the vvat??v Harrs’s body was
picked up near TewKsrttWNj Jus young
widow, we regret to say, is likeiy'ftfWJQlo be
come a mother. Mrs. Price
within a month after the elopement. Thus
have the earthly hopes of five families been
blasted prematurely, and two innocent and
lovely women, who, under brighter auspices,
might have been the ornament and delight of
society, gone down to tiie grave in sorrow.
IMPROVEMENT OF TIIE FEMALE SEX.
EY lIEY. MR. WINSLOW, OF BOSTON,
The next qualification is a habit of indus
try. 1 his is essential to every productive
value ;it should be early formed and vigor
ously maintained. The teniplalions with
vmmg women in the present state of society
10 neglect it are numerous, and too offen fa
tal. How many of our daughters, because
their parents are able to support them, or
because the mother or servants assume the
burden of domestic/care, or because they are
locking for some connexion which will exempt
1 hem from the necessity of personal effbri,
lorrn ha hits ol fixed and hopeless indolence !
This evir hr Ify :o<r-xrrtoovus j
one class. It is the pride of tiie rich, it is the
ambition of the poor, to appear above ihe
necessity of effort. But it is a false, pernicious
sentiment. We were made for action ; we I
are never in true honor, but when actively
engaged to the extent of our ability in ac
complishing some good ; this is as true of
woman as of man. Because it devolves on
Ihe man mainly to provide support for his
family, does it therefore follow that wives and
daughters have nothing or little to do? By
no means. There still remains a most im
portaut service for them, and they are still ns
••qp.rrMlv hmin.it “V ‘ „ U vt iLpu haM.
oiy can ol all tneir time anti strong!!), m some
useful employment, as if they were compel
led to do it for their daily bread. To be dil
igently and usefully employed to the extent
of her ability, is one of the first lessons to be
inculcated upon the little miss, and to he con
tinually impressed upon her through the sub
sequent, periods of her childhood, youth and
womanhood. Considering the great prone
ness to indolence in all human beings, and
Ihe fact that fashion and respectability so
much sanction it in certain classes of females,
it may be regarded as one of the most be
setting and dangerous vices of our young
women at the present time. There is will)
multitudes of them nn enormous waste of
energy—physical, intellectual and moral; the
sin of burying the talent is with them a cry
ing sin.
But the blame is not wholly theirs. Ti e
views entertained by many of the other sex,
and false notions of refinement encouraged
by society at iarge have contributed tn make
our daughters suppose that it is essential to
the character and standing of a lady to he as
indolent and useless as possible. The Last
that she can know experimentally of the man
ner in which even her own daily food is pre
pared, or her own clothes made; or of the
more severe and useful labors of the mind.
whether in acquiring or imparling knowledge;
or of the wants and reliefs of the poor and
) needy; and the more she spends her morn-
I ings in bed, her evenings at novels or amuse
i merits, her nod-day hours in sauntering and
I lounging about, or exposing her person hi t e
streets—ihe more of an accomplished ladv is j
she ! What notion can he more false and
pernicious? Yet I need not tell you it is pop
ular, common, extended to all classes and
conditions of society. Many of a!! classes
i are aiming to bring up their daughters in this
wa v. So countenanced is it, that the dnugh
| ters of the poorest as well as of the richest
ofien blush to have it said or supposed that
they have been engaged in some useful em
ployment. I repeat it, ihe fault is not so
much in the young women as in those who
have the charge of bringing them up, and in !
public sentiment. For a young 1 nan to be
i usefully engaged, is necessary to his good
1 standing ill society ; but f>r a voting iroman
! to be thus engaged, is nor only not necesjarv.
; but rather prejudicial to her character as a I
; refined and accomplished lady!
This public sentiment falling in with lhe >
! natural disposition to idleness, is it strange !
j that the result is a wide-spread and most j
! melancholy paralysis of female energy? I ;
! speak within due and considerate limits when
I assert, that in a large class of females not
! one tenth part of useful results are accom-
I plisbed. Their lives, compared with what
they might he, are almost a barren waste, a
i dead blank in the scale of being. Instead of
I being anv thing that resembles corner stones
| polished after the similitude of a palace, their
history is rather that of hat-house plants, j
| They spring into being, vegetate, and are
I gazed at, perhaps admired, for a little season ;
| they then fade and vanish away fir ever!
The evils of this indolence in females ex
tend to every thing with which they have to
do. A grass-hopper becomes to them a bur
den. To accomplish even a little thing costs
them a prodigious and most exhausting effort. ■
They cannot endure to study ; —hence they j
must have teachers that will save Ihem from I
the necessity of it, and yet by superficial I
i means flatter them and their parents with a
! fine show of learning. They cannot endure
| to think hence they must have books of
j the most I ght and popular character, nddres-
I sed prineipiilv to their imaginations and feel
ing*. rhev cannot endure any domestic la
bors; iience thev must remain in ignorance
„of the things to he done in their own house
holds. and tlitis Ruhject themselves and their
f imii.es to t hose numerous !roubles of serva nts,
which result from ths ignorance and ineffi-
cieney of the mist ess ; to say nothing es the
sacrifice of property in domestic wastes, for
the want of someone to look well to the
ways of her houshold. They cannot endure
to walk:— hence they must be provided with
a coach, Rot only when it is necessary, but
when they might as weil walk, and when
walking would comport much belter w'ith
their means. They itave not sufficient ener
gy to sympathize with the cares, the duties
:,,, d trials ot their husbands; —hence their
husbands must bear their burdens alone, un
cared for and unaided ; and sometimes even
experience the influence of their wives as <1
dead weight upon them, to bring down their
tottering resolution to ihedfist. They cannot
endure to look alter the education of their
children; —hence their little ones must be
committed entirely to others to toil for them
alone, (thankless task !) or their young minds
must be permitted to shoot up at random.
1 hey have not sufficient resolution to govern
their children; —hence they must, so far as
their mother is concerned, go ungoverned,
and perhaps as a consequence be ruined.
| And, finally they sometimes become so irreso
■ lute that they cannot, without a gho tiy ef
i fort, even return their neighbor’s friendly call;
and the consequence perhaps is green-eved
j jealousy and a breach of friendship. All is
I bill of evil, trouble, disaster, resulting from
j their indolence and inefficiency. Their suns
j r ‘ se ** ll and set; weeks, months and years run
; on ; they bring almost nothing to pass, and
1 yet they complain of having so much to do!
i ‘'ey are laboriously employed in doing no
: , Their health becomes feeble; their
; spirits droop ; they become nervous, peevish,
j unhappy;—instead of shedding light and joy
j over the domestic circle, they render it un
; happy ; yes, the beautiful and admired
j daughter, or the engaged wife and mother,
L as s h e appears in the excitements of the
(lr3%¥itig room or the assembly, too often to
the where most of all she
should make to be seen and
felt, there to exhibit selfish
indolence, in the everlasting sighs anchlJftrn
plaints of peevish discontent!
I THE HUDSON’S BAY COMPANY.
I The following extract from an article in the
! North American Review for January, on the
i subject of ‘ Nautical Discovery in theNorih
| west,’ gives the reader some idea of the * <ri
j “jbbic monopoly’ known by the name of the
j Hudson’s Bay Company:’
I ‘* he fact is now thoroughly established
j that the Arctic Sea encompasses the northern
! extremity ol America. The Hudson’s Bay
; Company, lor more than a century, was the
! gieat obstacle to the proper exploration of
| the Arctic regions of North America. Or, in
I toe pungent language of the Quarterly Re
! View > bom the moment this body of ‘ Adven
instituted, the spirit of adventure
palsied by the baneful influence of
of which the discovery of a northwest pas
sage was deemed the forerunner of destruc
tion. The Northwest Company, after com
peting awhile whith the Hudson’s Bay Com-*
pany, drove the latter to a compromise; and
the result has been the union of the two as
sociations, under the corrupt character of the
latter, and the formation of a still more gi
gantic monopoly, which, like the East India
Company in Asia, has gradually extended its-
usurped dominion over an immense
region <>! North America, constituting a dan
; ~rrrrx:-igpcr pmrer, rrririani
among us under cover of the flag of Great
Britain, which nation stands ready to a vow or
disavow its acts, as the tide of circumstances
may turn. This Company we say—which
we desire at all proper times to hold up to
the censure and watchfulness of the People of
the United States—has in later limes been
shamed into occasional acts of exploration
along the Arctic Sea. It professes to have
fuu.-l.cd that which Parry, Ross, and Frank
lin had all but finished, Messrs. Dease and
Simpson, of the Hudson’s Bay Company,
have recently explored the littie there was
left unknown betwixt the mouth of Macken
zie’s river and Behring’s Strait. And we may
now aver— there is a Strait of Jin ian. That
is to .say, there is a W3ter communication
(though more or less obstructed bv ice) from
the Allan tic to the Pacific, along the arlicside
of North America.’
A Business Transaction. —Mr. James C.
Jones ul Franklin, Tenn., states a case that
must come before ‘ the business and bosom’
of the community. lie says he was lately
married to ‘a lady in one of the fust fami
lies in lVnnessee, 5 but soon found reasons to
believe that hei affections had been transfer
red to one Richard Alexander. Whereupon
lie fled until ins wife and child to a distant
part ol the State; but said Alexander ap
pears to be an enterprising sort of a mar.,
and he lb.lowed them, and had a personal
interview with husband, ‘ wile, children and
friends. The result ol’ this audience is best
told by Mr. Jones himself.
‘ O.t the loth of the present momli, Dec.
1833, the said Alexander pursued us, on
which occasion my wife told me she had been
corresponding With the said young man, and
told me that she loved that young man more
than me, but wished to live with us both. I
•hen told her to go, and told the said Alexan
der tliat he had destroyed my peace with
my wife, and tliat Ire must take her. He
said iie was willing. I found out that 6he
had, previous to her teiiing me of the corres
! pondence, handed him a few lines in rny pre
sence, informing him she was willing to go
