of the cascade, we saw Le Rot, stand
ing with Poled arms, leaning against
he trunk of a huge sycamore tree,whese
dense foliage threw a ' , deep shadow
across the path, broken by the golden
sunshine piercing through its twisted
[branchese into bright chequers on the
verdant turf. Here, then, -

!, Amidst the str . str ayes, the fountain's gush,
The sigh of winits, the nuisic heard .
At eventide, frOm air and bush,
The minstrelsy of Wand bird," -
these two fond hearts, full of warm
human love, met. again, trusting in 'their
own strength to• part forever! ~I had
seated myself on a shelving projection,
of rock that commanded a view of the
river for some distance; my own heart
teas full of sad memories, phantoms of
the things that were, and are not ; and
as I gazed upon the lovers, both so
young and devoted, imaginations of
Dryads, and foreat spirits, that in the
olden time were thought • to haunt the,
..green wood shade, stole over my sen
seel and I almost wished that from
among the ancient trees around me
;some oracle would speak and divine
their future!, "
, Le Roy was a model of manly grace
and beauty ; he was 'reclining at Jose
phine's feet drinking deep draughts of
-hive from eyes whose tender glances

hcAv dear he was; they had been for
some tiaTek-gonversing in low, earnest
tones, he evidently pleading his passion,
when Josephine *led me to , come to
her, and, with roucleserturbation, in
informed me that she ha consented to
a secret marriage, to take )11uce that
evening. It was in' vain I remonstra
ted, and painted in vivid colors the*,
Jy of such a proceeding. I spoke o''
the anger of her father ; the deceit she
would be practising upon his fond and
• thisting affection ; the remorse she
must experience from such wilful dis
obedience ;to his wishes. I appealed
to Le Roy' honor and generosity ; but,
with Josephine's hand closely clasped
in his own, he swore he never would
resign her bu t t with life. The very
name or Mr. Gordon appeared to awa
ken all the angry_passions of his nature;
he said he had wronged and insulted
hint ; that in his wanton pride he had
sought to crash the affections of both
their hearts, and offer up his daughter
a sacrifice at the shrine of Mammon.
Josephine pleaded for her father, and
bitterly; wept, but it was upon her lov
er's bosom,. She seemed to be sur
rounded by a-magnetic spell that she
Wes - unable to break; all , her resolves'
kad melted away before the impassion
eifeloquene-e of Le Roy. .
;Before we had left the spot, moved
by her tears and entreaties, I had pledg
ed myself to silence and secrecy, and
promised to be a witness of their nup
tials. It was arranged to take place at
niidnight, in the old house in the Gap.
Mr. Bennett, who had been in orders
fur some years, was to perfOrm the cer
emony. Le Roy was not to claim her
ae his wife for one year; and in the
mean time, Josephine trusted to soften
her father's prejudices; and in some
favorable moment, to reveal to him her
disobedience, and to be forgiven.
The clock in the dining-room had
told the hour of twelve. - The full
moon shone with unclouded lustre, as
with noiseless steps we left the portico
of the hotel. I gave a searching glance
at the windows of 'the chambers, but
the white curtains were closely drawn,
and the deep stillness that reigned
through the mansionzonvinced me that
we had nothing. tg fear'from the prying
eyes of curiosity. I thought Mr. Ben
nett seemed more agitated than 'Jose
phine ; not a word was spoken by_eith
er of us. A few yards from the , house,
emergino from the shadow of a tree
near the spring, we met Le Roy. In
silence be folded Josephine to his breast,
and pressed a kiss upon her cheek, that
•
- I saw by the moonlight was as pale as
_ marble !
Arrived at the honse, we were met
by the old man and his wife, the only
occupants of that solitary dwelling;
they had of necessity been taken into
our confidence. . On a table in the
small parlor, o'er which a, dip..candle
shed a ghostly light, I observed an
, Episcopal- prayer book,. opened of the
ordinance of marriage. All Josephine's
firmness seemed to forsake her at the
sight of these preparations, and she
sank half fainting on a chair
There was a dread, an awe upon my
own spirit, as if some r niisfeitutte was,
hovering over us ; I tried to shake off
the ominous feeling, and inspire the
trembling girl with the courage! need.
ed myself, but in vain;, and as the so!.
'emu words were pronounced, so preg
nant with the happiness ,or misery of
' her : tallith life, I thought I heard the
slow toolitig of t bell, as if for a soul
just:departed The measured tones
fell upon my ear with such distinctness,
that it,.was difficult for me to convince
myself that it was a delusion of excited
senses.
, Le Roy" insistedupon'aceompanying
ua to the door of tit& hotel, wbere he
took a passionate far‘well of his-bride;
and without accident or interrnption we
regained our chambers. As .I messed
my throbbing , head on the pillow I
dscarce believe that the events . of
the last ftw-houre wertnot the illuitis,aa
of a distempered dream:„Josephine, ex
hausted by such unwonted excitement,
was soon wrapt in a profound slumber.-
She never appeared more touchingly
lovely iit my eyes; her , cheek, reposing
upon an and that looked ai if
. =it were
chiselled from marble, was flushed to
the hue of a ripe pomegranate; her
rich dark hair, in graceful rings, lay in
disordered confusion on her brow and
.bosom ; a smile yet lingered about . her
lips, and cehild-like purity and beauty
was beaming from every lineament of
sweet-face. And, alas a she, now
slumbering entranquilly there, :had ta
ken the destiny of her life in her own
bands. A sickness of the heart oppres
sed me, as I asked myself the momen
tous question—would it be for good or
for evil? - .
The nest morning, while the mists
were climbing up the sides of the moun
tainslin many fantastic shapes, we left
the, Water'Grap.'
On arriving in Philadelphia, we
found Mr. Gorden awaiting ‘ bis Baugh- ,
ter. _ The father met his child with de
lighted affection ; she sprang -towards
him, and hid her face on his shoulder,.
and-I feared the excess of , her emotion
would arouse his suspicious. Her open
and guileless nature shrank appalled
from tbe task she had imposed upon it.
Hitherto there had , been •entire confi
dence between them ; now, in the hid
den recesses of her heart, , there lay a
dread secret in which -- that (rear father
must not participate." I foresaw, that
with her quick sensibilities, ere long
would be revealed.
They returned to Baltimore, and six
months aftewards I received a leiter
from Josephine; beseeching me , to come
to her; she said " that her life was'a
burden too heavy to be borne ; the de
ceit she was hourly practising upon a
parent, whose every thought was for
her happiness, was preying upon her
health. Her alarmell and anxious Lath
, tr„tvas constantly heaping upon her
manifestations of his affection, and.de
visineSonie new scene of pleasure to
divert berinind, but this only increased
the remorse CilAter spirit. Le Roy,
too, forgetfuroflis promises made at
:the Gap, was anxioitsp claim her as
his wife ; he plead th443ufferings he
endured in hearing vague hods of her
indisposition, and being unaaeoo ap
proach her, he said, that it was amps
siblifor him, situated as they now wete l,
to pursue his profession with any , suc-.
cess ; that with the absorbing love that
filled this very being for her, he could
no longer consent to this separation and
live."
There remained, then, no alternative
but to hasten to Baltimore, and declare
the position of Josephine to Mr. Gor
den. 1# found the
,sweet girl looking
harassed and care-worn ; for several
days, oar minds were much engaged in
what manner we should reveal her mar
riage to her father. At length, it was
arranged that I should be the person to
communicate the intelligence; it was
an agitating task, and fearful that. my
courage would completely, fail me, it it
were any longer deferred, I sought an
interview that afternoon with Mr.
Gorden.
I was ushered into a large and well
filled library, fitted up with all the ap
pliances that wealth can command, or
luxury desire. He was a fine looking
old gentleman, of about sixty-seven,
bland and courteous in his manners,
with all the refinement and polish of
the 4 , old school," as it is now termed.
He received me with much politeness,
and ordering the servant to place a
chair for me, begged me to be seated.
My heart beat almost audibly; he ob
served my agitation, and tried to dispel
it, by producing from a small rosewood
box, a magnificent set of pearls be had
purchased-that morning as a birth-day
present tbr his darling daughter. : I
felt still more oppressed by this' corn.
munieation ; I dreaded the the revul
sion of feeling he would experience,
when I had made knownniy mission;
for.- moment I hesitated ; but I con
cluded it , was more 2dvisible to impart
my intelligence at once, than to defer it
to some other period.
In a few words as possible, ',told my
story, but I had not estimated its effects
upon Mr. Gordon. The treachery of
his daughter seemed more tertible to
him than death itself; his countenance
became fully convulsed; lie rose from
his seat, his face livid with passion, and
raising his clenched ,h4nds above his
head, he imprecated alearful: curse upon
Josephine, and her husband ! A mo
ment more, and struck with paralysis,
he lay like a ghastly corpse at my feet.
For some-weeks. Mr. Gordon linger
ed in a critical situation; all access to
his chamber was strictly forbidden by
his physicians. Josephine's agony and
remorse may be imagined but not descri
bed; she had not seen her father since
the fatal hour in which I had revealed
her obedience. He was now pronoun
ced "convalescent; the first words he ut
tered, were to inquire if his daughter
was yet an Inmate of his house? On
being answered in the affirmative, he
sent her commands to leave it, and for
ever ! He ordered her wardrobe, and
all articles belonging to her, to be pack
ed - up and sent to her address; he com
manded a beautiful full length portrait of
her, by Inman, to be taken from the
drawing-room ; and forbade, any mem
ber of his household ever to name, or al
lude to bailie his presence t be said that
from henceforth he had no depth*, Jo;
sophine no father!
wu ilays tutace, the: heart stricken
girl and.her husband Were on Ihe . way
to the south. • There,' jn, the bosom of,
the Le, Roy fondly, as the wife of their
darling Harry, n the winds of Heaven
were'.not suffered to visit her cheek too
roughly ;" and she.
,experienced all the
kindness ' and affection her gentleness
and beauty were so calculated to inspire.
Idolized by her husband, who seemed
each day to become more devoted to her
—every effort that the fondest love could
devise, to make her forget the'past, was
resorted to by him ; and by the superfi
cial observer, her cup of happiness ap
pered full; but there was one. drop
whose bitterness poisoned the draught.
Remembrances tof her father, left desolate
in his old age; of that happy home,
where so much indulgence had been lav
ished upon her, now closed against her
forever-thronged upon her mind. The
present was lost in the past; she yearn
ed, with painful longings, to throw her
self upon the breast that had natured her
childhood ; she pined for the forgiveness
she feared would never be accorded to
her. Letter after letter had been written
to her incensed parent. and had been re
turned with the seals unbroken.
Before:her husband and his family,
Josephine never uttered one repining
word ; but alone with her God, she
prayed for the pardon of the sin, whose
consequences were blighting her young
life.
Her situation quickened her sensibili
ties to the sacredness of the tie between
parent and child ; and when the thought
intruded itself, that her sacreligious hand
had broken that holy bond, that perhaps
her guilty disobedience was perhaps
bringing her
.father's grey hairs in sor
row to the grave,'the remorse of her
wrung spirit was almost beyond her en
durance.
I had receiied several letters from her
since her residence in Charlston, and in
the last she had written to me, she com
plained of severe indisposition. Anxious
to hear tidings of her, one evening, when
the same 'party, that had accompanied
her to the Delaware Water . Gap,, were
again assembled together, I sent to the
Post-office. A letter was handed tome,
bearing the Charlston post-mark; on
opening it, I found it was from Le Roy's
mother, stating, " that three days previ
ous, Josephine had died in her first au
con ehment !"
Silence and dust on that beautiful
brow ! How could we realize an
afliic
tton so sudden and overwhelming
1 4 , H0w many hopes were borne upon
thPhier, oh, bride of stricken love !"
The : ; sad intelligenee was abruptly
communicated to Mr. Gorden ; a sec
ond attack cif .paralysis was the result ;
and in a few weeks the broken-bearted
old man was laid 'beside his daughter !
In the cemetery atAalumore, as you
enter the south gate a ,monument of
chaste and exquisite design'arrests your
attention. Reposing on a brod slab of
Italian marble, is an urn, wreathed with
a light and graceful foliage of leavorend
Rowers ; the emblems are a torch resit

There are three things with which a
man should always, keep on goad terms
—his wife (if he his one,) his stomach,
and his conscience.
The reason why so few marriages
are happy is, because young ladies
spend their time in - malting nets instead
of cages.
The first ingredient in conversation
is truth, the next is good sense, the
third good humor, and the last wit.
Friendship is the substantial beer of
existence, and love the exhilarating
wine.
It is said that words hurt nobody;
nevertheless, Sampson jawed a thou
sand Philistines to death.
Wives.—Women should be ac
quainted that no beauty hash any
charms but the inward one of the mind,
and that a gracefulness in their manners
is more engaging than that of their per
son ; that modesty and meekness are
the true and lasting ornament—for she
that has these is qualified as she ought to
be, for the management of a family, for
the education of children, for an affec
tion for her husband, and for submit
ting to a prudent way of living. These
only are the charms, that render wives
amiable, and give them the best title
to our respect.
TRYiNO TUE OmM—A young lady
went into a-music store in Royal street,
New Orleans, and asked the sliopman.
for " Thy hand my charming'Willie,"
(a popular ballad called,) "I beg, your
pardon ma'm, said the confused seller of
crotchets, who is a green one by the
Avay—" my name aint Willie but Robert
and they calls me Bob for short : be
sides, Ps engaged to - Luiiinda Jenkins
and can't give my hand to any one'else.
The lady of course put down the teller
of shaps for a perfetflai.
NoT lot iuirrE.—A clergyman in the
north, very homely in his address, chose
for his text a passage in ; Psalms: "I
said' in my haste, all men are liars."--- .
Aye,': premised his reverence by way
of introduction, "ye , said it in your
haste, David, did ye 1 .--glu ye had been
here, ye 'might hae said at your leisure,

1 Court Beebe in Georgia.,
We chp the following from an ex
change paper—w hat one we do int now
remember.\ It is as rich, in' all its ele
ments-of fun\ as anything we _have late- ,
ly stninbled *inn: .
A friend - Of MIDe has recently returned
Troia an excursion into the -, ;--;- cirCuit
of this State. ; '.He tells me while in the
county of --, he\ strayedvinto the.
Court-house, and was present at an ar
raignment, 'Of a man_ by \ the name of
Henry Day, who was charged with ,
at
tempting to kill his wife. 'D: a
ay was
pale little man, and. he ‘wife'Wes a per
fect behemoth. The indictment being
read, the -prisoner was asked to \ say
whether he was .pguilty or not guilty.
He answered, There's
chance of lawyers' lies in the papers
but some parts is true. I did strike the
old lady; but she fit' me powerfully
first. ! She can swear to a little of any
thing,/ and her kicks arNt z ful. I reek-
on what you say about thidevir mov.
ing ntels pretty tolerably correct, 'see
ingas;how she moved me. •I have told
you all I know about the circumstances
Mister. I gin 'Squire .Jones , there a '
five dollar bill, and I allow he'll take ii
out for me." 'Squire Jones thereupon
rose and said , he had a point of law to
raise in this case which bethought con
clusive. It was-an established rule of
law, that man and wife were but one ;
and tie should. like to know if a man
could4be punished for whipping himself:
he should be glad to hear, what the so
licitor general had to say to that.—
The solicitor general answered, that.he
thought his brother Jones had carried
the_maxim a little too far; , men'had of
ten been punished for beating their
wives. If a man sheuld kill his Wife
it would not be suicide.
H6e 'Squire Jones interposed, and
defied the solicitor general to produce
any authority to that effect. The so
lid* general, looked at "Green and
Luinpkin's Georgia Justice" for some
minutes, and then observed that he
could not find the authorities just then,
but he was sure he had seen the princi
ple sontewhere; and he called on the
Judge to sustain him. In the enthusiasm
of counsel. on the point, they forgot to
offer aby evidence as to the, guilt or in
nocence of Day in the premises. The
judge, likewise being obvious of the
fact, proceeded to charge the jury. fle
told them that man and wife were one.
He remarked that in either event, the
man was legally bound to suffer.; and
therefore, coine as they. would, Day
was undoubtedly. guilty. He said he
would not decide the question whether
if a man - kill his wife it was murder or
suicide. He was not prepared to ex
press an opinion on that point; it was
a very , delicate one, and he had no idea
of committing himself. (Some one
here observed that he was mighty fond
of committing Others.) He then-call
ed up the ()Miff, a tremendous looking
cr. cker, wearing abroad brim hat with
cr. pe, (I never saw a .man south of lati
twe thirty-three that did not wear -a
• bite hat with crape,) and proceeded
to admonish him that the jury were very
much in ,the habit of coming in drunk
with their `verdict, , ' and that if it haplien
ed in this case he Iwould discharge the
prisoner, and put the punishment'upon
him. The bailik - gave a significant
glance at the judge, and replied that
other people besides the jury came into
court drunk theMselves !The jury
then retired, and so did my friend.
The next day he returned, and found
matters zn statu quo, except that Day
and his wife had made up, and were
discussing the merits of a cold fowl and
a quart of beer, and now and Ithen en
terchanging kisses, despite the frowns
and becks of the officers. The judge,
clerk and sheriff had been up $l night,
and looked Nyo/fled' ; and the bailiff was
seated on his whits hat at the door of
of the jury room, and this indicated that
he had swallowed the concentrated ve
nom ofa thousand wildcats. The most
awful curses, oaths and sounds; proceed
ed from the jury 'rooms ; some were
roaring like cats, neighing like horses,
&c. At last a short consultation was
held at the juryloorn between the fore
man and bailiff; whereupon the _ latter,
putting his hat one-sided on h i s :head,
came into the, court-room and address
ed the judge thus ; „ Mister, Tom Jakes
says the jury can't agree about this here
man.; and if you keep him ! [that is
Tom Jakes] without grog any chore,
he'll whip you On sight." The judge
appealed to the ibar if this *as not a
contempt of court,—and " Green and
Lumpkin's Georgia' Justice" having
been consulted, it was finally decided
that it was a threat 'addressed to the
judge as a nriv4te individual; and was
to ...whip, him on;sight," and, not lin
the bench; it *as not, under the free
and enlightened and demotra'tic princi
ples of Georgia ; legislation, a; contempt
of court. Thiel being settled the judge
directed the bailiff to say to Tom Jakes
the foreman, the jury should agree if
thev i staid there through eternity." The
bailiff retired,. and so did my fnend= .
but - he gives it as his opinion, from the
frame, of mind in which -he left all par
ties, the jui ies and bailiffs area stillthere.
There is . noi a more disgusting ob
ject in the worid than a vulgar, tear
ant personln possession of wealth and
making use ofi his golden itifitierice to

IT is a prevailing opinion among the enTight

is a mass of liv'ing animalcule, which have ta

Cancer may be, they were so tenacious of ex

be removed. -
When permitted to remain, they never fail
to multiply and spread to neighboring parts,
committing the most frightful depredations, un
til death comes to the relief of theirvictim.
Worms in children, may be considered some-
Nvhat analogous. If they are less fatal, they
ate infinitely more common ; and if suffered to
remain, produce consequences scarcely less
alarming. If the testimony of medical writers
is to be relied upon, they often produce mania,
apoplexy;-epilepsy, palsy, convulsions and many
other diseases equally dangerous, and often fa
tal. But here the parallel stops, Cancer neing
one of the most obdurate disease's,-with which
physicians have to contend, while worms are
easily - dislodged by proper remedies.
