How often do we bring to our recollection the image •f some dearly loved, but departed asso ciate, and as his simile passes, call to onr remembrance rfotue trait in his character, or action of his life, which won our a Sec tions, or with which we were intimately connected—and which, perhaps, is only known to ourselves.—ls there not a feel ing of reverence that rolls over the mind, find leaves it wrapped in a thoughtful, yet pleastng or melancholy tone, as tlie iih tr.re of tiie circumstances may he, upon which our thoughts divclll—Hut time rolls Oil, and many an interesting act is buried tu oblivion for tlie want of record, and its actors are forgotten. I’ilntiM Rhone was a wild and thought less girl—l Knew her well—Even now, me thinks { see her long flaxen ringlets streaming ttpott the evening breeze, in her thoughtless gambols—her dark express ive eve—lter high and pearl-like forehead —a lip of coral, with a smile, light, yet ever upon it—and ‘■Tim e sweet -eund.-. so unfA. so iDnr, '1 lie listener held bis bre illi In bear ” She might have been called vain—but slightly so: for, indeed, she was a lovely girl, nnd ’he pride of her native village. She was possessed of many refined ac complishments—around her twined all the graces of form, blended with elegance and urbanity of manners, and in the line aments of her face, shone Iteauly, cins tened by the modesty of her conversation, and the courtesy of her demeanor. The youth of the village bowed in flattering submission to the shrine of her beautv; Ai strangers, who visited the village dtirfng the summer months, paid their transient or passiiiff tribute lo her superiority. Rut were there none to whom she had given preference among so many? Were there none worthy? Reuben Everton was con have thought it? He was a droll uncouth genius; heavy, and sloth till in appear ance, with little ease of softness in his manner, little influence by education had beon attained over the natural qualities of his mind—which, notwithstanding, was none of (lie worst. It was ever finn and undeviating in its purpose, and always ac ted upon an honorable and unprejudiced principle. Ella and Reuben were play mates from their infancy. They Intel for gotten the time, when they used to range the hills together, and pluck the flowers before the dew drop v.xts shaken front their beads. Ella hud been addressed by many a more eloquent tongue, and many a more courteous hand had been proflVr cd, but they were unheeded.—She loved Reuben for his undaunted behavior on many occasions—for the daring feats which he performed lor her on the bills, in gathering the flowers which were in the most perilous situations, and in which most dang T was risked in procuring.— He was never known to act impetuously, or upon the impulse of passion. About this time, a stranger arrived at the village—announced himself as Mr. George Maltavin. He appeared to be middle-aged—lit!!, and rather least—u dark nnd sallow expression of counten ance, which, to an experienced eye, deno ted something more than his natural look —it was lowering—a keen dark eye, hid partially by long and heavy brows, con tracted— pi sentitig, at times, a dark nnd savage appearance. In a short time be was introduced intif several famtlies,a tnong whom vt’as that of Elhvs. lie al most involuntarily conceived a passion for lief—and after a short, but formal couit sbip, proltcivd his hand Which was reject ed.—Ella could never bear him? he be came her daily dread. When lie would approach iter, however kindly, site felt a thrill of horror shoot across her frame, hi r father insisted upon her accepting hts hand, while her mother stood firmly in opposition. Jirr father urged Iter to for get Everton, who was then upon the mount inns in a lengthy chase with sever al of his village comrades. To him, time aftertime, a secret foreboding preyed up on hi» mind, and sickenedjvt bis heart, — secined-to call him home; nnd so deeply did it work upon bis imagination, and pic ture some evil impending, that lie became daily more and more restless One night, as lie lay upon tin* cold earth, re posing from the ihiv’s toils, the restless spirit of his dreams soared back to bis da tive spot—he scented ns if he wits reclin ing beneath a large spreading water-oak. that stood at tbe end of the grove which run southwardly from the village, when a 'female figure approached hint,and l»y ges ticulations, sighs, &c. intimated flint rite was in distrers. For three successive nights did this appaiition disturhlhe wea ry shimlHTs of Reuben, nnd on tlie third night she appeared pale nnd wttn—when bun Itoihm s-piilchralAinto,„bemuttered, ;'‘lb maitx and on the third mght, Kil t : will be no morel” Quick as thought, Reuben was u|kiii uis feci—“hat!” he exclaimed, “is this reality or am 1 dtentunjg?” He looked anxiously around, but all was still. Reu ben awoke none <.r his companions till mounting, when he told them that busi ness of importance culled him home im mediately, nnd that at some 'future time, lie would relieve any anxiety which his sudden departure might cause to arise— and was, reluctantly, admitted to depart. f"t’ h made them lonely to lose one so val uable from he chase. It wtts early when Reuben starts and the words of the apparition still rang heavy m his cars—“ Three day s, and Elia will be no more!” If vyas tim e day’s hard travelling to fctidt home, hy thortearest mute, which was not tu cqsslLle by horse. He strained every nerve—forward he pressed, night and day, and on the even ing of the third, he stood upon a high hill, winch overlooked the village. It was a lull to ths summit of which, Ella and him self had often walked, to enjoy the morn ing breeze—and he wished her oven now by his side, that lie might pour into her listening and attentive car, the many in cidents relative to the chase. At this in stant he was startled by the sound of voi ces. On turning round he beheld the stranger who had but lately arrived, en gaged in close with a short, stout, swarthy looking man, whose coun tenance vied in its savage appearance with that of bis complexion.—Reuben evaded tin in, and unobserved, caught the conclu sion of their discourse.— “1 will hazard my men upon no other conditions,” said the little man, who was not observed till then, by Everton, to bear arms: “At twelve, we’ll meet you at the large oak at tlie end of the grove—cdnvev Iter thither and she will he safe—other wise, sir, the compact will he withdrawn.” The stranger, after a short pause, in which lie seemed deeply meditating, tnt svvered—“Well, at twelve, all shall be readv.—But, in case I fail!” “Heath!—il’i ver these eves rest upon you!” was-the stern replv, as the 1 parted —the one was soon lost in the woods, while the stranger bent bis Course rapidly tov. arils the village, closely loHmved bv Reuben, whose feelings ami iwaginut ous are not easily to be described. Tic fe male figure in the vision under tlie spread ing oak, flashed across Ihs mind, “What can it incan?” he wlii-sne-red «n. „ in |sa3Ken tne spot all looked natural— “ Gan it be that Eila has proved untrue?— If so. she may learn her fate, ur.d then re pent.—No!—l will rescue her, or-any oth er female, who shall call upon Reuben Everton for assistance!” And while he stood ruminating, the stranger disappear ed, be knew not whither. At that instant, tlie Church hell struck heavily upon tin* ear—home lie hurried.—Night was just spreading her deepest veil, vv lien lie rea ched it—lie entered in haste, aud to the surprise of all. They were joyed to see him, but each stood fixed, looking upon each other with fearful anxiety What?” he exclaimed as he looked anxiously «- round, “can none of yon speak?—Am I not welcome to-inv home again?” “Yes, Reuben, yes,” answered bis mo-, thor with emotion, “but what brongh! you home so sudden?—W hery are your companions?” “On the mountains, well, when I left them What is it that r rets your atten tion on each other so—what is the matter? —Any deaths or ill news—let me have it, for I utn weary from excessive exertion. Three days since, the sun rose on me, i while standing upon Bet 1 tub’s peak—to- ; day, it left nte upon lbleq hill.— Is Elia well!” I No answer was tnacfe to the enquiry— lie sprung up—“ Why do you weep?—i What of her—-speak?” Again the Church hell tolled 1 cavilv—' tears afresh gushed fortlv—“Will none of ye speak to me?” l.ejcried “will none of vein pity ease my ttchifig heart, tie it shall .set my frenzied brain on fire?— Speak, I say, and tell me, good or ill, i what relates to her?” “ This night,” said his mother, struir- ! sling ti* compose herself, “she becomes j the bride ” j “Os whom?” “The stranger, JTaltavin!" “No! by heavens! not while tilt; ai,n dfc heart of Reuben Everton has strength and courage,,’ he exclaimed, and deliberately advancing towards his ntle, muttered, “I’ll meet the villain ere it’s twelve to-; night!” then started for the door.- -They, however, succeeded in wresting the fifle from his grasp—but he smiled grimly up on them, as he sain, drawing forth his huntiiii! knife at the same instant, “then this shall answer quite as good a purpose!” And bounding with a-tiger’s rage, he soon was lost sight of. Pursuit were vain— dor he was swift usthe wingi and arrow. He bent his course to the Church, for thither he knew they would repair. The parties had assembled early.—El la was rind in a long, black robe—unusu al at such a place, and particularly on such an occasion: but she had it made ex pressly—for she said, “1 am going near- J er to my grove than my earthly happi ness.” Her features were pale and death like—her eyes wore upon of thah angelic sweetness, w(licit was always ciiaracici'i*- tir.

Such a scene of blood could but liaturnllv shock ihe sight of the villagers, who were deep ly impressed with ttie unhappy occurr ence—Ella and Reuben were united shortly afterwards—and ns time rolled on, the horror of the circumstances which preceded their union, was, by degiers, o bliterated from their minds, and they could look back to the time when they transpi- • red, and view them with the eye of mem ory, unaccompanied by the secret awe which attended them ni tise tunes that have long passed.

These mines have, been worked only about tlnee years, by comparatively few persons, under every possilile disad vantage, nail almost thirty millions of pounds of lead have been made there.— The mineral used by miners is a sulpjm ret of lead yielding tiom 50 to b 7 percent, of pure lead. It is found in veins im’a lialdy i..lining fiom north to south, or from east to west. There is one vein twenty rods long and sixty feet wide, and extending downwards to an uuknown depth, which is tilled with ore that nearly pure lead. The lead ore occupies about one hun dred mrfessquare of surliice, except about twenty miles by lour or five of copper ore, included within the aforesaid one hun dred miles square. Thirty millions of pounds of lead have Lieen made in the mineral rcg.on, and not more than one mile square of surface has been opened -for ore. Without opening one new mine, 50,000,000 lbs. .more of lead might In made ‘here.
