THE SOLDIER’S RETURN.
Seven or eight years ego, I was travelling
between Berwick and Selkirk, and, having
started at the trowing of the cock, I bad lelt’
Melrose before four in the afternoon. On ar
riving at Abbotsford, I perceived a Highland
soldier, apparently fatigued as myself, lean
ing upon, a walking-stick, and gazing in
tensely on the fairy palace of the magician,
whose wand is since broken, blit whose magic
still remains. I ain no particular disciple of
Ijayatcr’s, yet the man carried bis soul upon
his face, and we were friends at the first
glance, He wore a plain Highland bonnet,-
and a coarse grey coat, buttoned to the throat..
His dress bespoke Inin to belong only to the
ranks; but there Was a dignity in bis manner,
and a fire, a glowing language in bis eyes,
worthy a chieftain. His height might ex
ceed five feet nine, and Iris age .be about
thirty. The-traces of manly beauty were
still upon his checks; but the sun of a west
ern hemisphere bad tinged (hem with a sal
low hue, and imprinted untimely furrows.
Our conversation related chiefly to (ho
classic scenery around us; and we had
pleasantly journeyed , together for two or
three miles, when we arrived at a little se
questered burial ground' by the .way side,
near which there was neither church or
dwelling. Its low wall was thinly-covered
ivith turf, and we sat down upon "it to rest.
My companion became silent and melan
choly', and his eyes wandered anxiously a •
immg the graves.. -
‘•Here,” said he, "sleeps one of my fath
er’s children who died ininfancy,?’
He picked up a small stone'from ,the'
ground, and throwing it-gently about ten
yards,■ “That,” added he, "is the very spot. I

He dropped his head upon his brei/st for
a few moments and was silent, and 'hastily
- raising Iris, fore-finger to.-hia eyes] spcmcil to
I dash away a solitary tear. Then, -turning.
; to me, he continued! "Ynu. may think, sir,

Twelve.years ago, 1 loved a being ns gentle

children'together, and she grew in beauty
in my sight us the star of evening steals into
the glory through the twilight. But she was
poor and portionless, (be daughter of a mean
shepherd. Our attachment offended my
father, lie commanded me to leave her for
ever. I could not, ami lie turned me from
Iris bouse. I wandered, I knew not, and I
cared not whither. But-P will not detain
you with my history. In my utmost need I
met a serjennt of the forty-second, who was
then upon the recruiting service, and in'a
few weeks 1 joined that regiment of proud
hearts. I was at Brussels when (be invita
tion to the wolf and the raven rang St mid
night through the streets. It was the herald
of n day of glory and of death. There were
three Highland regiments of us—thrcc-joincd
in one—joined in rivalry, in love, and in
purpose; and, (hank fate!, I was present
when the till then invincible legions of (lie
cuirasscd Gauls rushed, with their war hor
ses neighing destruction, upon a kneeling
phalanx of ..Scottish hearts, shielded only by
(he plaid and the bare bayonet frnrii (lie un
sheathed sabres of the united glory of France,
ns they .poured like torrents of death on the
waving plumes of pur devoted band, to ex
tirpate our hainejj fromjthe annals of Scottish
heroism. Then, then, in (he hour of peril
mid of death, the.genius of country hurst
forth through the darkness of despair, like the
_ilii •'I the young sun upon (lie earth when
iiah_of
God said “Let there be light!”—ns (lie Septs
Greys flying to our. aid raised the electric
shout, “Scotland foreverl”—“Scotland for
ever! s’’returned 5 ’’returned "our tarlaned clansman—
“ Scotland forever!?,’- echoed ."Victory
It was a moment of inspiration and triumph.
Forward dashed our Highland, heroes, fear
less as their fathers, resistless'as our rpiiun-'
tain cataracts!- The • proud”steed- and its
mailed rider quailed at the shout.' ilomc
and its world of unutterable-joy —yes, home
and the fair bosom that- would welcome -its

During his absence* adversity bad given (lie

At (be request of my fellow traveller, I
accompanied him to (be bouse of mourning.
Two or three poor cottagers sat around (be
fire. Tire coffin,- with the lid open* lay
across a (able near (be window. • A few
white hairs fell over (be withered face of the
deceased* which seemed (o indicate that be
died from sorrow rather than from age.'—
The son pressed bis lips to bis father’s cheek.
He groaned in spirit and was troubled. He
raised bis bead in agony, and, with a voice
almost inarticulate with grief, exclaimed in
quiringly, “My mother?” ■
The Wondering peasants started (6 (heir
feet, and in silence pointed to a lowly bed.
He hastened forward—be fell upon bis knees
by the bed side. ’

and admirer of Governor Rilncr—tliat lie

however favorable he maybe now to the sin

to secure the re-election'of bis friend and

Several months passed away before I gain
ed information respecting the sequel of my
little..story. After bis parents were laid in
the dust; William Campbell, with a sad and
anxious heart, made inquiries after Jcanie
Leslie, the object of bis early affections, in
whom we have already alluded. For several
weeks bis search was fruitless! but at length
be learned that considerable properly bad
been left to her father by a distant relative,
and that be now resided somewhere in Dum
friesshire. ,■
In the same garb which I have already de
scribed, the soldier set out on his journey.
Wi.h little difficulty lie discovered the house.
It resembled such ns are occupied by the
.higher class of farmers. The front door
stood open. He knocked, but ho answer.
He proceeded along the passage—he heard
voices in an apartment on his right—again
he knocked, but was unheeded. He entered
uninvited:
middle of the floor, and among them a min
ister commencing the marriage service of .the
C.hurch of Scotland. The bride, hung, her
head cofrdwful.ahdfcarswerestcalingdown
her cheeks—she was his own Jennie Leslie.
The clergyman paused,. The bride’s father
stepped forward angrily', and inquired l —

they were all sober realities, standing.out in
bold relief in the.history of the common*
wealth, Which was cursed with such an ad*
ministration.
Now where was John tlanhs fount] during
this scene of folly, extravagance, and.wick
edness? He was amongst the foremost to
advocate and sustain the measure, and the
most zealous to secure Uitncr’s re-election,
and a continuance of this shameless profli
gacy. This hasty review will enable every
man to answer the inquiry, what good will
be effected by the' election of John Hanks I 1
Let his friends show, if they can, that he
differs from his patron in any of the mens*
urcs of his Administration; let them publish
his remonstrance against them ; let them
show, if they can, that Ki{ner*B pronjinent
advisers Were not the efficient agents to pro
cure his nomination; and let them deny, if
they can, that these men will, if he should
be'clected, be his counsellors and. advisers,
and will shape the measure of his adminis
tration,and make .it a continuance of that,
.which under llitncr, brought ruin and dis
grace jipon the commonwealth.
Tlie inquiry, what evil is to be removed
by (he 'defeat, of Governor Porter ? will be
best answered by a plain statement of his
prominent measures, in relation to the same
subject which distinguished the administra
tion of his .predecessor, which have in every

upon (lie Huntingdon, breach, unless the
disbursing officers arc required to settle
their accounts in the usual way.
4. lie li as with singular faithfulness pre*
settled to the legislature the whole amount
of liabilities incurred by the state, and ur
ged upon them the necessity, and duty of a
speedy liquidation, with the view that the
annual additions to the state <fcbt may be.
effectually arrested and that provision may
be malic,for its gradual reduction.
In proof of these distinguishing measures
of Gov. Porter’s administration, we need
only refer to his public Messages to the Leg*
islature.and the acts of the General Assent*
bly which have passed with his sanction.
A discerning people will, for themselves,
decide front these undeniable facts, upon
the course of policy'they-prefer.', They will
discover what good is to be effected by the
election of John Hanks, and wliat-evil is to
be removed by ( lhe defeat of Gov. Porter’.—
Thq prominent federal measures of Gov,
Il’ltncr sanctioned by John Banks, and the
prominent democratic measures of Governor
Porter sanctioned by the people, furnish the
trye reasons for coming to a correct conclu
sion. We submit the facts with great con
fidence to the freemen of the Commonwealth,

A SCENE ON THE OHIO RIVER, ;
“Upon lookingoround.to see what chance there wad
-for amusement on our trip from my fellow passengers,
I Was particularly struck with the appearance of*an el
derly lady, Who seemed very ill at casci Evciy timp

cd it tlio, prelude to a grand explosion, and was evi
dently in a state of continual excitement. . As she is
to bo my heroine, I may as well attempt to describe
her, although I shall' hardly do her full justice.—Shp
was one of the tallcst-womenTever-sawvbutlhe effect
of her height was taken nwayby her Immense breadth;
She was ohe of McDonald Clark’s style of *
“with a. waist like a cotton bag and a foot like a floun

encircled by a petticoat. Oh ! she was very fat, ; Up
on inquiry, I learned that she was a passenger on the
Steamboat F—^—, at the time it,was burned, a few
years before, end narrowly escaped with her life.—
Only a few weeks.had elapsed since the "catastrophe
of the Ben Sherrod, by which some scores of . hapless
mortals were hurried into eternity through the com

the, woman was alarmed ulthd prospect of a steam
