The outlines of the following sketch.were related to ine bj an aged and honored riicm ber of a large family connexion; a man who r -posso#scs-au-almost inexhaustible-fund—of legendary lore, and whose most interesting anecdotes and comic talcs are but recollec tions of past scenes, of which he can say, in the language of rEneas, "quorum nnigna jHtrs/ufi. ■ : .. . ’ -- ■ . “Many yefifs .ago, w said Mr. fc •, “1 happened to be one of the referees in a case which excited unusual interest in our courts, .from the singular nature of the claim, ami the strange story which it disclosed. -The; plain till’, who was captain of a mcrchant'ship which traded principally with England and .the West Indies, had married quite early in life with every prospect of happiness. His wife was said to have been extremely beau tifulr and no less lowly in character-. Af ter living with'her in the most Uninterrupted .harmony far fiviv two daughters were added to’his family", lie suddenly resolved- to resume his occupation, which he had relinquished on,his marriage, and when his youngest" child was.but three Weeks old, sailed once more for the West Indies.' \ ' His wife, Who Was devotedly attached to him,-sorrowed deeply at%is :absence, and found her only comfort in the society of her children and the hope of his return. But month after month passed away, and yet he came not, nor did any letters—those insuffi cient though welcome substitutes, arrive to cheer her solitude. Months lengthened in to years, yet no tidings were received of. the absent husband; and, after long hoping a gainst hope, the unhappy wife was compelled to believe that lib had found a graVo in the ocean. , ' . • “Her sorrow -Was deep and heartfelt, .but .the evils of poverty were now added to her affliction, and the widow found bersclfo-. blijjetl to resort to some employment, to sup port tier helpless children; tier needle was her only resource, and for ten wears she la bored early"and late for the uusorabSe pit tance, which is ever grudgingly bestowed on the humble seamstress; A merchant of New York, in moderate but prosperous''circum stances; accidentally became acquainted with her; and pleased with her gentle manners, nolcss than her extreme beauty,' endeavored to improve their : acquaintance with friend ship. After some months he offered her his .hand and Was accepted; • .“As the wife of a'successful merchant site soon found herself in the enjoyment of djmi forts and r luxuries such as she had fnre possessed. Iler children became his children, and . received from- him every ad vantage that "wealth and affection'ctml if nro- > cure."- V; :• IfSiJvv. . “Fifteen years passed away) the daughters married,—and by were fur- every. in their new 'avocatibn;bf ; they had; scarcely. cjuKted his roof When their mo ther. waS taken ill; ShpVdicd after a few days 'ahd'fmjm.'that time - until the perid4fof;the tfiijl'i tlgSyidowbrhad resided with-tße ybupgest daughter. ■-* r ; “OUR country—RlGHT OR WRO^G.**’ “Now comes i the strangest' part of the story. After an absence of thirty years du ring which time no tidings had been receiv ed from him, the.'/7rs< husband returned .as •suddenly as he had departed. .He had changed his ship, adopted another name, and spent the whole of that long period of time on the ocean, with only transient Visits on ,shore while’ taking in or discharging car go; having been careful, also; never to come 1 nearer home than New Orleans. Why he [had acted in this unpardonable'manner to , Wards his family no one could tell, and he obstinately refused all explanation. There were strange rumors of slave trading and pi : racy afloat, but they were only whispers of ' conjecture. • | Whatever might have been his motives I for suclv conduct, herwas certainly any thing but ■indifferent to Ills'family, concerns when he returned. He raved like a.madman when informed of his wife’s second marriage and subsequent death, vowing vengeance upon his successor and terrifying his daughters by, tiro most awful threats, in case they refused to acknowledge his claims. ' ’ Ho had returned wealthy and one of those mean reptiles of the law who are always to be found infesting the halls of justice, advi sed him’to bring a suit, against the 'second husband, assuring; him that he could recover heavy damages. ’The absurdity of institu ting a claim for a wife whom death bad al ready released from the jurisdiction of earth ly laws was so manifest, that it was at length agreed by all parties to leave the matter to be adjudged by five referees. • ' • . “It was on a bright and beautiful after-; boon in spring,, that we first met to hear this singular case. The sun light streained through the-dusty-.windows of the court room, and shed a halo' around the long grey locks and broad forehead of the defendant, while the plaintilf’s harsh features were thrown into still bolder relief by the same beam which softened, die pi. his adversary. The .plaintiff's . lawyer. made a most eloquent appeal Tor his client and had we not been better informed about the matter, our hearts would have melted at his touching description of (he return of the desolate husband, and the agony with which he now beheld his household goods removed to consecrate a sfraiiger’s hearth. ; The cel ebrated Aaroirßurr was counsel for'the de fendant, anticipated from him a splendid display of oratory. 1 had never' before seen him, and-shall never forget my surprise at his appearance.' Small in person, but remarkably well'formed, with an eye as , quick and brilliant as an eagle’s, and abro.w furrowed by care far more than* time; lie seemed a very different being from-the-arch, traitor and murderer I had been accustomed, to consider him. His voice was one of (he finest I ever heard, and the skill with,which ho modulatcll it, ([ic variety of its tones, and the melody of its cadences, were inimitable. But (here was one peculiarity about him that l reminded one of the depths of darkness which lay beneath that fair surface. You will smile when! (ell you that the only thing I a built him I disliked, was his step. Ho V-glidcd rather-thari '-waikcd; hisTnotrhatHhat quiet, stealthy movement that involuntary makes one think of treachery; and. in the course of a long life, I never niet with a frank and honorable man to whom such a step was habitual. Contrary to our expectationsj however; Burr made bo attempt to confute the power' of his opponent’s Oratory. lle merely open-1 ed_ a book of statutes, and pointing with his ■ thin finger to one Of its pages, desired, the referees tq read it, while he retired for.a •moment to bring in “the We had scarcely-finished the section that fully decided the matter in our minds, when Burr re-entered with a tall and elegant fe nialq leaning on Ids arm. She .was attired in a simple-while dress, with a wreath of , ivy, leaves encircling her large straw bon net, and a lace veil complctcry conTcaTihg her’ countenance. Burr whispered a few words apparently encouraging her to advance, and then gracelully raising her veil, discov l ered to us a face of surpassing beauty. I recollect as well as if it, had happened but yesterday, bow simultaneously, the murmur of admiration burst-from the lips of all-pro scntV - '• v : 1 " i Turning to .the plaintiff, Burr asked, in a cold, quiet tone, ‘.‘do you know this lady?” ‘T do,” was the answer; “Will you swear to that?” “I. will; to thg best of my knowledge and belief, she is my daughter.” . “Oan you swear to her identity?” ■ “I can,*’ said the plaintiff. ■ “What is her age? asked. Burn . “She wag' thirty years of age on the twen 'ticth day of April,” “When did you last sec her?” J ; "At her own house, about a fortnight since,” replied the father. . “And wlien did you last see her previous, to that meeting.” , - - Vi The plaintiff hesitated—a pause: ensu ed-L the question was repeated, ,«hd the answer, at length was, on thc-M4th :day of May,' IT—.” “VVKen just three weeks old,” added Burn'’ j‘‘Gentlemcn,” continued he, turning to (is, > !

' Who will paint the slow progress of heart-sickness, the wast ing anguish of hope deferred, and, finally; the overwhelming agony which ,'came upOn her 1 when her • last hope was "extinguished, and she-was compelled to believe herself in deed a widow?: Who panl-dopict nitthis-with out awakening in your hearts the warmest .sympathy for the deserted wife, and the bit-.: for tho mean, pitiful wretch.

Cti who could thus trample.on the heart of her whom he had sworn to love and cherish?— We need not inquire into his motives for feting so base a part—-whether it wns.of gain, or licentiousness, or selfish indifference it matters not; he is too vile a thing to he.judg cd by such laws as govern,men. Let us ask the witness—she. now stands before us 'with (he frank, fearless brow of a true hearted, woman—let us ask her which trf these 'two have been to her a father'.” Turning to the lady, in a lone whose sweetness was a strange constrast wilh the scornful accents that had just characterised his Words, ;hc besought her to relate, briefly the recollections of her early life. A slightilush passed over her proud and beautiful face, as she replied: . “.My first recollections are. of a small, ill finished apartment,‘which my sister, and myself shured'with our mother. She used to carry out every Saturday evening, the work which occupied'her during the week, and bring back employment for the follow ing one. Saving that wearisome visit to her employer, and her regular attendance at church, she hever left the house. She often spoke of our father; and of his anticipated I return, but at length she ceased,to mention him, (hough I observed she 'used to weep more frequently than ever. ,1 thtfn thought she,wept because we .wore so'poor, for it sometimes happened that our. only supper was a iiUle bit of dry bread, and she was ac cSigtimed to see by the light of the chips which she kindled to warm her famishing children, because she" could nut alford to purchase a candle .without depriving us of meal. Such was our poverty wheh-my mother contracted a sccond roar riage,. and the change to us was like a sud den entrance-into Paradise. We found a home-and a father.”—She paused. ; ‘.‘ Would you excite my own child against me?” cried the plaintiff as he .impatiently silent. 'The eyes oT the firc ns he spoke, “,Vou arc not my father,” exclaim ed she vehemently. “The law may deem you such, but I disclaim you utterly. What,! call you my father! you, who basely left your wife to (oil, and your children to beg gary? Never! never! Behold there my father,” pointing to 'the agitated defendant, “there is the man who watched over my. in l .fancy, who was the shaScr of my childish sports and the guardian of my inexperienced youth. There is he who claims' my affec tions aml-sharcs my home;—-there is my/a thcr. For yonder, selfish wretch, I know him not. The best years of his life have been spent in lawless freedom from the so- , cial tics; let him seek elsewhere for (he com panion of his decrepitude, nor dare insult the ashes of my mother by claiming (he du ties of kindred from her deserted children!” She hastily drew her veil over her face, as she ceased speaking, and giving her hand to Burr, moved as if to withdraw. “Gentlemen,” said Burr, “I have no more to say. The words of the law arc express ed in the book before you; the words of truth you .have just heard from woman’s pure lips; (pisitions of nature and the decrees of ,jns VI need scarcely to add that.our decision was such as to overwhelm the plaintiff with well merited shame.” —Ladies Companion Grains, Tobacco, Business, & Prosperity It is said that money is so scarce that the grain and flour of the west cannot bo brought to the eastern market. Money is scarce, undoubtedly; but it is not so scarce as that; and when the grain and flour have, waited Jtt a certain point for some time for a-trans portation, it will fall to a price that will in sure a conveyance. These difficulties, that seem artificial, arc natural; they present themsehes unexpectedly from the habit which people naturally fall into of looking only at the means of tlicrr owfrh'usitrossyniVd properly leaving oilier people to take caro.of theirs. When an obstruction occurs at a distance, it is thought that something new baa taken place,'whereas it is the operation of a gene ralcauac, exhibiting itself in a way peculiar to the .circumstances of that which is imme diatclyurtected. TThe faruim's have fufthe last few years enjoyed-an uninterrupted de gree of prosperity. Specie payments and shin plasters; by the peculiar-state of public affairs at home and abroad, both brought grists fo theic mills; now they must feel the pressure, though Pi evidence, in the wonder ful abundance of the late harvests, seems to have tempered the Wind fo them and to all. The demand for! grain in England, and also in the great manufacturing districts of New England, will insure a price beyond what was apprehended a few months since/ and that will induce aii increase of supply from the western; slates to prevent too great ;as to ;a reduction, of course; not only on account of the fqjloess.of the eastern harvest; but also on occount of the difficulties of exchange and’the scarcity of money necessary to the collection and transportation of largo quan tities of bread-stuffs. , And this ultimate, though notimmediate, supply of the eastern matket. from the west, provides the means for the western inerchaiUs.to meet their east erh eagagemcutSjWhich, ,fortunately for them, have not been greatly increased by this au ttiinn’s business) so. that,'spring will open with a want of goods tit the wi»st, a supply of them in Philadelphia, and the means at hand of meoting lhe purchasers’ past engage ments, and '.committing between the credit and ! cash prices; (that is the common dis count) o.r the seller for spring-goods.

PROSPECT OF ANOTHER WAR. We learn from Washington that we are ikcly to get into a war with the Cherokeos ' and other tribes West of the .Mississippi hither sooner than we expected. The policy of concentrating on our borders Ifirgc bodies of armed and hostile Indians, smarting under a sense of rcccnt injury, tVairgencrally sup- posed to be rather dangerous to. the .quiet of. the frontier; and a'war with the removed tribes, whenever it may arise, will probably last as long and. prove as expensive as the Florida Avar. It appears that our-govern ment, being bound by treaty stipulation, to protect emigrant Cherokces tre m domestic strife, in their new. homes, interfered be tween the Ridge and Ross party.- - The mur derers of Ridge'were sought for and an at tempt rtiade’to punish them, the'consequence of which is that lhe Rossparty became much exasperated against the Uniled'States. The' flame has been fanned by th‘e emigrant Sem- , inolcs, and the danger of hostile incursions upon the western frontier, this winter seems imminent; , ’ • . ; ’ The Government lias sent an express to the-conimanding officer at iFoTt'Gjbsdhi with t ■ directions'as to tile course to.' be pursued ill the case of emergency; -* - A war must bo attended with unexampled * distress to the settlcrg,-wh« are at tlfis timet almost wholly.unpibtccfedand unprepared,!... for it.
