I know nothing in the whole compass of poet - ry more wildly, and naturally, and solcmly pa thetic than the following elegiac lines They were wrotten about the same time of the Refor mation, on a daughter of the Laird Maxwell cal led by the pheasantry the Lily of Nithsdale:— She’s gano to dwell in heaven, my lassie, She's gane.to dwall i’ heaven? Ye’re owre pure, quo’ the voice of God, For dwalling out o’ heaven! O what’l she do in heaven, my lassie? O what’l she do in heaven! She’ll mix her am thoughts wi’ angels’ sangs, And make them mair meet for heaven! She was beloved by a’, my lassie, She was beloved by a’; But an angel fell in luvo wi’ hex, An’ took bet frae us a’. Low there thou lies, my lassie, Low there thou lies; A bonnier form ne’er went to the yird, Nor frae it will arise. I looked on thv death cola face, my lassie, I looked on "thy death cold face; Thou seemed a lilie new cut in the bud, An’ fading in its place. I looked on thy death shut eye, my lassie, 1 looked on thy death shut eye; An’ a lovelier light i’ the brow of heaven, Fell time shall ne'er destroy. Thv lips were ruddic and calm my lassie, Thv lips were ruddie and calm; But gane was tho holy breath o’ heaven, To sing the evening Psalm. There’s nought but dust now mine lassie; There’s nought but dust now mine; My saul’s wi’ thee i the cauld grave, An’ why should I stay bellin’!— The following is a little fragment, and. owing ithor to the singularly plaintive fl ow of the ver ification, or to the extreme simplicity of the mourner’s grief, is, to me, beyond measure af fecting Gane were but the winter cauld, And gane were but the snaw, I could sleep in the wild woods, Where primroses blaw. Canid’s the snaw at my head, And cauld at my feet, And the finger o’ death’s at my ecu, Closing them to sleep. Let nanetell mv father, Oi my mither eae denr, I’ll meat them baitli in heaven At the spring o’ the year. MISCELL AXE DU*. “ THE GONDOLIER’S STotfY7~ RYJ. G. WHITTIER. A beautiful night, stranger. It recalls to my recollection a sad incident of my earl)' years—one of thpse midnight hor rors which mar the beauty and cclmness of our City’. Ah—this bay is bright and beautiful, and those towers and squares are magnificient, and the sound of that far off music is pleasant—hut murder and revenge lurk even here, like serpents un der Flowers. It was such a night, Senor, as this— one of those soft ptre nights of sabbath calmness, when Venice becomes a second Paradise. Tower and temple and pal ace were bathed in the holy moonlight, —the canals and transparent lakes shone like so tnanv portions of the beautiful plan et which illuminated their calm waters. The soft notes of the guitar and the delicate viol blpnded with the clear rich i strains of human melody.—-My boat was resting under the shadow o’yonder mag- | nificient palace, on the behony of which a single form was leaning. Just under the wall of the pflace, I no ticed the figure of a man, tall and wrap ped closely in a cloak. He betkoned me towards him. ‘Hush !’ said he, as the ligh sound of my oars fell on his ear. ‘hush—closer yet there,* —and he leaned towaris me, and placed a heavy purse in my hand : ‘Here is gold,’ he said, in a hoarst wkisper ; tell me are you willing to convey myself and a lady from this spot, at the hazard of a shot from the balcony, or at close pursuit on the water 1 ‘Yes, Senor, ’ I answered readily. I was indeed charmed at the idea of an adven ture. It was a relief to the monotouy of my employment. The stranger turned from me and sud denly disappeared. In a few moments he stood before me with the lady on his arm, whom I had previously seen on the balcony. Her features were hut imper fectly revealed, yet I saw enough to know that she was one of those dark eved girls of Itily, to love whom is to surrender ev ery other feeling and yield up the heart to one wild dream of passion. Yon, Seuor, are from acolder and less passionate dime, where the blood moves slowly ard the pulse is calm—where season friurnnhs o ver the impulse of nature. But you are not a stranger to Italian feeling—and you know the strange spell of the dirk eye and passionate look of Italian loveliness. The stranger seated his companion in my gondola, and placd himself at her side. He gave me a hurried direction, and we moved silently hut swiftly away. Not a word was spoken for some moments.— The stranger at last roused himself, like one who had recovered from some terrible apprehension of danger. ‘Thank God, Vxttoria, we are safe now. But why those tears ? Surely the Signora does not regret that she has fol lowed her lover ! The altered tones in which the last words were spoken made me involuntari ly gazed on the countenance of the spea ker. There was a shadow of ill-suppres sed displeasure on his brow. ‘No—Signor !’ said tke beautiful girl, faintly smiling through lier tears, as she cast her arms around the neck or her companion with passionate fondness.— ‘No, Signor—for you I have resigned all my former world of happiness; and have found another and a brighter world in your love. I cannot regret so pleas ing a change. The cloud passed from the swarthy brow of the Italian ; and he returned the caresses of the affectionate girl, with all the ardor of affection.—Ah—Senor, — it was a pleasant sight to witness the scene of love— the overflowing fondness of young hearts. Years have passed, but the two lovers are still distinctly pictured before me. The ardent vow, the soft and rich tone —the smile, and the nhrace, I shall never forget them. We reached a remote landing place af ter a lapse of nearly an hour. When the boat touched the shore, the stranger stood erect and gazed around him with earnest ness. All was still, as if a spell of silence had decended with the moonlight, save the faint hum of music which came at inter vals from some distant balcony. ‘Thanks for your exertions, friend, said the stranger, ,We have now no far ther, need of your services.’ And he as sisted his lovely companion on shore, I know not why, but I remained on the spot, without moving an oar, watched the movements of the mysterious pair. They had scarcelev moved ten paces from me, when three armed officers of the police sprang suddenly from beneath the shad ow of a wall, and confronted them. ‘Dog of Carbonari’, they shouted, yield, or make your bed in purgatory. — We have traced you from your lurking place; and shall be under the necessity of interrupting your assignation with your mistress!’ ‘Stand off,’ shouted the stranger, in a voice of stern and fierce resolution, as he unsheathed his dagger, and lifted it to the moonlight, while he still retained the arm of his companion. I was young and vigorous, aud there was so much inequality in the combat ants, for one of inv warm temperament to contemplate with calmness. Hastily grasping a small dagger which ] usually wore, I sprang to the side of the stranger. The officers had recoiled from his first posture of defence, and Lx 1 turned sudden ly towards me. His dark face had ac quired additional gloom, and his eye shone like a star. ‘Preserve the lady, and may the holy virgin bless you !* he said, as he shook off the grasp of the heatiful Signora. The terrified lady sank upon my arm in an agony of terror, and 1 was compelled I to witness the fierce struggle that follow ed, without being able to share its dan gers. For a moment the tall stranger see med to have the advantage and one of the assailants fell. The others pressed close ly upon him—the blows fell quick and fu riously. ‘The Signora ! Protect niy Vittoria ;* said the stranger, as his swarthy counte nance ; now crossed with dark stains of blood, turned for an instant iq>on me.— Horror and despair were pictured in that look. He staggered back from his as sailants, and fell with a muttered curse. He was immediately borne off by the soldiers. The Signora had swooned in my arms, at this fatal termination of the struggle; and I coveyed her to my boat, with the intention of returning to the man sion where I had first seen her.—ln a few moments the Signora recovered from her trance. She gazed widely around her, and the dreadful scene she had wit nessed rushed back upon her senses.— ‘Where—where is the Signor—my own dear Antonio V she exclaimed, ‘And whither are you carrying me ? ‘To your home—to the home you have just left, Signora,’ I answered. •Stay,’ she cried with a vehernance which startled me. ‘I will never return thither. Let us go back to the place we have left. I must uot leave him, living or dead.’ ‘No, Signora,’ I replied, ‘the fate of your unfortunate lover is sealed. He fell beneath the weapons of the police, and we may now only pray for the repose of his departed soul. Return with me to your father’s mansion, and all may yet be well.’ ‘Never—never!’ she repeated with wild energy, Living or dead, Antonio, I am thine alone |’ She sprang upright in the boat—her w hite dress fluttered for an in stani-on my view—there was a quick and heavy plung into the still w'aters —and she was gone forever, beyond the hope of rescue. From the A etc York Courier and Enquirer. T’u Pirates. —About 5 minutes after 12 o’clock yesterday the sanguinary Pir ate Gibbs (as we shall continue to call him) and Wansley paid that forfeit which the law demands from those who perpe trate such crimes as they have been con victed of. Within the last three days sev eral clergymen attended ‘heconvicts with a view of preparing them for the awful change from life to death, which they were about to undergo. During the night pre preceding the execution, several clergy men visited both the convicts and prayed and conversed with them without interm ission. They severally exliressed their convic tion of the justice of their sentence. A bout 8 o’clock they were taken from the prsion at Bellevue, to Blackwell’s Island, and from thence to Ellis Island, the place of execution, where they arrived about half past 9 o’clock. They were immedi ately brought into the Fort, where they ar mained in prayer wath the clergymen, until they were brought out for execu tion. The Execution. —The Island was much crowded from nine o’clock until the exe cution took place. The bay presented a very animated spectacle, surrounded as it was by hundreds of boats of all sizes, which had landed the persons who where anxious to w itness the spectacle. About half past eleven o’clock, Gibbs and Wan ley w ere brought out from the Fort, in which they had been since they landed on the Island. Gibbs was dressed in a blue roundabout jacket, and blue trowsers and w hite cap, the jacket, hearing on the arm the figure of an anchor worked with w hite ribbon, Wansley wore a w hite linen Frock coat, white trowsers and white cap, all trimmed with black ribbon. The con victs advanced steadily From the Fort to the gallows, which was erected on the west side of the Island, about one rod north of the tree which stands there. Immediatly after they arrived at the fa tal spot, the rope was adjusted by Mr. Read, the Assistant U. S. Marshall. It was so arranged that the hanging of the Pirates should take place by slinging them up, instead of dropping them from a scaf fold, as is most generally done with per sons hanged. With this view, the scaffold was erected to a height of about 13 feet from the earth. Two ropes of about one inch each in diameter were passed through pulleys, which were placed—one in each extreme end of the top beam. To one end of each of these ropes was aFfixcd, fif ty-sixpounds weight; the other ends were tied together, and the knot which hound them was placed on a block between the two outward stakes. From the centre of the large rope, a diameter, of sufficient length to form a noose, was suspen ded. About half past 11 o’clock, when the convicts were brought under the gallows, the smaller rope was Fixed loosely on their VO Yu 31. throats; and almost immediately after G.bbs, who by his own request, was atiired in a blue round-about, linen jacket and trowsers, having on his left arm an anchor, made the following address: “Good people who surround me here with this fatal cord around my neck, soon to appear before that just God whom I have so ot’ten offended. In youth J was on hoard a vessel of war, and took an oath that at any other time would seem horri ble to me ; I kept it, and was a murder, and I hope you w ill all take warning by my Fate. I was horn of respectible pa rents, and received a good education, but did not properly apply these advantages; however 1 hope that Christ will make my death as easy as if had died on a downy pillow.” The prisoner went on to state that he had been guilty of shedding (ho blood of many of his fellow men, but without entering into any particulars. In conclusion he acknowledged the jus tice of his sentence, the penalty of which he was to endure, and expressed an entire confiidcnce in his hopes of forgiveness in that world into which he was about to be launched. Soon after he had finished speaking, Wansley requested one of the clergymen in attendance to sing a part of a pslam; this was of course complied with, and Wansley joined in the air, together with many of the persons around him. He then proceeded to address the spectators. He acknowledged the justice of his sen tence; stated that he had lived for a long time in a pious and respectable family, (whose name we have learned); that he conformed with the ceremonies of reli gion, and put entire coi fklence in his pow er to avoid evil; lie warned all who were present to be diffident in themselves, and added, that although they might not be murderers nor robbers, yet they required penitence. In conclusion he prayed for his shipmate Gibbs, and requested tho prayers of all around him. .Soon alter he ceased, Gibbs called a physician, who was in attendance, and asked him in a low tone whether he could die easier by holding in his breath, or breathing out. The physician advised the latter mode. In a few secouds after, Gibbs gave the signal that he was ready, by dropping a handkerchief he held m his hand, and immediately after the Dep uty Marshal cut witli a sharp hatchet the knot by which the two ropes which sus tained the weights were attached, and instantly the weights fell, and the pris oners were drawn to such height as the length of the ropts attached to the weights permitted. Wansley ceased to exist in about one minute. His weight, it is sup posed, served to shorten his agony. He appeared to suffer but little bodily pain, as when the rope was about to he cut he clasped h;s hands as if the attitude of prayer, and they remained so till he was cut down. Gibbs remained perfectly still for about one minute after he had become suspended, hut he then began to struggle violently: he raised his hands up, although his arms were pinioned behind, so as to push the cap he wore from his mouth, and he evidently endeavored to assist his breathing; he afterwards raised his hand so as to open his lips—all this evidently with the intention of Following the physician’s advice.—He continued to struggle about five or six minutes, and then ceased to exist. After the bodies had remained hang ing about three quarters of an hour, they were cut down and conveyed to the Med ical College for dissection. Mr. Brower, the Sculpter, took a cast from the coun tenance of each. Yesterday morning, before Gibbs left prison, the woman confined in the same prison with whom he was intimate in Liv erpool, was admitted to see him, by her own request. She seemed greatly affec ted, and both embraced each other very tenderly. At the fort on Ellis Island the boy Dawes, who is now employed in the Navy Yard, Brooklyn, and who is dressed in the United States uniform, had an in terview with each of the convicts. They gave him some sound advice, which, it is to be hoped, he will follow. He shook hands with both immediately before they were executed, hut he seemed little mo ved by their situation. When brought out from the Fort, and while Gibbs was speaking, Wansley trembled ver’ much, so that it was necessary to support him; hut after his mind got engaged in the psahns, he recovered his self possession. Gibbs betrayed no marks of terror, al though it was evident that he shrunk From deaFli. When first brought out, he sur veyed the gallows w r ith an anxious eye, hut seemed satisfied that there was no means of avoiding his fate. By the Rev. Mr. Dunbar, one of the clergymen who attended Gibbs the night before his execution, and some time be fore, we are informed that Gibbs shcAved great signs of repentance. Prince Murat. —Oneofonr last Liver pool papers says—“ Col. A. Murat, son of the late king ofNaples and nephew to Napoleon Bonaparte, lately arrived in town (in London, probably) from North America. His arrival in this country is not agreeable to the Neapolitan govern ment, hut the Italian patriots have groat | expectancy in the young nobleman's fn -1 ture conduct,
