I deported tnv self like a person iu love: I talked like a per son iu love; looked liko a person in love, and felt like a person ia love. Tire affection that had taken p s-ession of my youthful heart was no every day one; I was also sure of that.— There weren't words enough in t.-.e Engli.-h languii.":- describe the Leich', depth, length : and breadth of i's grandeur. It wao destiao-i to be a pr-iiid accompaniment of the ages yet to be; a fixed principle throughout eternity; a ; planet of surpassing beauty in the btoad Imv , ens of home tffcetions. My love was return ed the strong yearuir.gs of my nineteen yea-' i eld heart went out it! the direction of the most : beautiful miideti in all shire, and iu re tarn, scut the yearuiugs of her heart our to meet mine. Twice a week, as the week catnc around, I weu; up to the old brown home or 1 Dr. Stoddard, *o tell his daughter my lov< , j and a regularly listened to a recital ot its re i turn from the red lips of my charming Ji i net. The good doctor made merry at our ex j rcn-c, and his jolly wife took a wicked jdess ; urc in constantly reminding us of our youth, j Janet was lot tared by sly refer, noes to bcr j pluyhoit-t; i:i tie shed, her long sleeved pina j fores and pantilett. s of six months before; while I was offered, while the doctors wife wore a face of immovable sobriety, on old cu..t of the doctor's fur my mother to ntak:- info a dressing gowu for me. We were, nevertheless, determined to be married. We would steal slyly away fr m the house while our cruel friends reposed iu the arms of Morpheus; Lie us, on the wings of love, to the nearest city; Janet would b-come in a m-mem's time, Mrs. Jasoa Brown, and 1 Mrs. Jason Brown's husband. At nee we set about making preparations for this important journey. Everything, of course, must be conducted with the greatest seercsy. At twelve o'clock I was to leave my home stealthily, get my father's grey nag noise lessly out of the barn and harness her, and to proceed to Janet. J„uct was (o te waiting tor me at her chamber window. I was to place a ladder at the same window, she was to descend chat ladder, we were to fly down the old lane, to the spot where the horse was fastened, and then the wiud should not outrun us. Toere was but one difficulty in the way.—- J.".let's ro'.in was shared by her sister FtDny, * little, mischievous, wicked creature ef elev en wuia;r., who, to use Juliet's wed.*, 'was awake at ail boars of the night.' There was bat one way for us, if Fanny was arouse'!, ,sho tuu-t be bribed into silence. For that pur ple 1 placed in Janet's hand a round, shining silver dollar. But Janet iiOft-icii assistance, so she concluded to make Fanny ber confidant the very tifiertioou .;elore we started, and in that ease prevent all possibility of her raising tue house by a sudden outcry. Weil, the loug looked for, hoped lor, and yet dreaded night arrived at last. How its lead en feet carried away the hours, and what a strange heartfuil of emotions 1 bore up, as I sat by my chamber window looking ont, as 1 thought, fer tic last time, upon the Lome of u.y father. The moon was out iu all her splen uor; she was kind to me, lighting up, with her silver touehes, all the spots my eyes might wish to rest upon before I went out into the world u wanderer. The broad fields lay out smooth ana shiuing before my grze; the fields in which I Lad worked by my father's side siuee I was a little boy—ah ! a dear kiud father he has been! (At this juncture tny throat began to swell.) 1 turned away tiooi tha window, If I could but see my mother once more, I exclaimed, rubbing my eyes w.tli utv coat sleeve. 'No ouc ever had a better mother than I have.' I sat down iu a chair aud sobbed outright. I looked arouud for something to take with uie that my mother? hand had blessed with her touch. There was a spinning wheel in the room where 1 had slept; at the end of tie spindle hang a woolen roll; with my knife 1 half cut and half tore it off, pressed it fervent ly o my lips, and then placed it tenderly in uiy vest pocket.

My only dread was of the ; little sprite Fats; if after all she should betray in, what a dreadful, direful, desperate mischief it would be—what a wretched predicament af fairs would be- iul I groaned aloud at the thought, yet 1 put a bravo face ors the matter; I said that if it was right we should go, if it wasn't right, iu all btcbabiiity we should stay ; at Lome: y-t right or not right, if that miser- i j able litiio Fan did betray us, I'd spend all my • days in avenging the wrong—that was certain, \v:ts I ;u earnest? did I mean it? liut we shall sco.

LIKE AFTER BUEIAL. — A singular occur rence, says the Albany Knic kerb role* r of the *27 th, was discovered in a vault attached to one :of our burial grounds en Sunday last. It was that of u female, who was deposited therein for dead so;ne two months since, being found, on r.pening the ccffia, to be la;, ing on her side, with one hand under her head. Fram this it was evident that the woman was alive when placed there, and awakening from the trance into which she had failen,, endeavored to ex tricate herself from her eiitombutect. This, of course, was au imposibility , the cover was not only screwed dowu tightly, but the space was too contracted to allow of even an effort. It was evident, however, that the unfortunate woman became convinced of the f*ct and con cluded to die. She therefore took the easy posture iu which she was found and breathed her last. The thought that they had buried her wiiiie yet alive, set her friends almost crazed. The father and mother had just ar rived from the old country last week, and were brought to the vault to see their child. The sceuo is related as heart rending. VOL. 32, NO. 23. Walk Solly.

PADDY OX AI SICA. —At negro celebration lately, an Li.-hmau stood listening to a colored speaker, expatiating upon government and free dom: and as the orator came to a 'period' from the highest and most poetical heights, the Irish man said: 'Bedad, he speakes wdi for a nagur; didn't he now?' Somebody said, 'lie isn't a negro; be is culy a half negro.' Only a half nagur, is it? Well, if half a | nagur e
