Ing. bitter complaints, and at hist cumo to u lawyer,
who, when ho. hud heard tho poor man's mournful

, matters in such a manner as to have finished all Ids'
(nialrioM ot the King’s Bench, before the assizes be

ed him down very near (he soul of (lip assizes* ho.
dismissed his men anil equipage, and - nought out d

After fiomo conversation, and making-himself per*
(belly agreeable, ho proposed lo Uio.miller.lb change'
clothes with him, and ns (ho judge hud a good suit
on, (ho man hud no reason to object. Accordingly
tllo Judge put on a complete suit of the miller’s host,
nn'd armed with a stick, awny ho marched (oChelrns

(ho assizes, which were to begin the next day. When

"My lioncsTfricnd,” sulci ho, "how ls ,your cause

'.MWeU lioncsi friend," replied the driller,'"will you

right'uml privilege to except Against tiny Juryman
through the whole twelve; now do youlnslst upon
your, privilege without giving n reason why, and 1
will do yob all the service in my power."
Accordingly when the clerk of the court httd called
over the jurymen, (ho plaintiff excepted to .oho of

ly btfunikd with his.liberty. - "What do you-meuni"

“After a short lime tulicn lnlo consideration, ho.
flalii—"My lord, I wish to have an hono'ei man chosen

there is that miller in the court, wo will have him,

Accordingly the miller was; chosen In. As soon
as the ctork of the court had given them bit'their

of the cloven jurymen, but gave the miller but' five,

Ho concealed what ho had himself.. The base was

! Tho subject of,.tho ,present sketch is often seen
wandering about our village, clad in rags, and brown*
ed by the long years of exposure to the’wind-and
weather, whipli s/to has been subject to. Indifferent
hliko to her, the, summer sun pours, upon her his

a crowd of boys arc gathered around her; and in
order to make u little sport the fruits of her industry
«ro torn Train her and ruthlessly scattered abroad, as
if they seethed to enjoy the misery such actions oc
casioncd her. Few who look upon that browned and
Wrinkled vissagC, that fact? tanned and freckled by
sun and wind, that form bent by the weight of sorrow
and years, realise that the being they now behold
was unco the pride of idolizing parents, orthe per,
Bonification of beauty ; yet such is the-fact.
Some ye-irs ago, the subject of our. short story .was
the; pride and ornament' of an adjoining .town; her
bequty shone conspicuous among ilia gay companions
of her youth'r-lier form was faultless, atid gaiety sat
smiling upon her brow. Nor.was sho devoid of in
tellectual endowments; for she hud been favored
>vilh a good education, and was employed in leach*
ing the youth of her native village. Thus her early
d tys weie passed amid the quiet of a country village;
hero sho wandered amid iho dative groves, or by the
rural streams which meandered through the green
Helds, spread out by ,lhe bountiful hand. of. Nature’s
grout architect; Nature.had also endowed : hcr with
feelings anil affections well calculated Tor the enjoy
irieiUdl'lier situation in life. ' Surrounded by parents,
und bKdlhcrJj and sisters; who still reside near heVe,
U seamed us if all things had combined to make her
situation desirable.
She had scarcely ripened inlo womanhood, or her
charms hardly yet developed themselves, before slip
experienced the most pleasurable sensutiorts of the
Ann ole heart—those of bcipg loved, and . loving one
upon whom she; could centre all the affections
young; fervent, and trusting heart. , A young gentle,
man from the city of “ brotherly passing the
summer months iii tho healthful region where was)
situated the cottugc of llio beauteous Sarah; was hot.
insensible to her many clturmo.
I Hu sought her acquaintance, and accompanied her
| in her rumbles amid the grccmclad hills of her native
(own. In short, they loved each other, and were
happvi While they were thus ,lost in pleasurable
emotions, the wheels of time still rolled, ohj lho
summer, with its soft breezes,and genial showers,
passed away; and sombre autumn came on apace;
und otir lovers awoke to the necessity of parting for
a while—he, to return to his business in tho city,
leaving her to ponder on the iqany,hours of happiness
she hud experienced in hie company., Before they
parted, however, they hail promised ouch other ctcr«
■nal fidelity { and ho Icl) lief, with, tho promise soon I
to return; anil claim her for his bride
' Time passed on i ond, although she was pure and
innocent, yet there were envious of
liar happiness, and, roadless of consequences, de
termined to dash' pleasure from her lips,
i n accomplish their object, they, breathed forth In
sinuations against her character—first, in gentle
whispers, whicl) grew louder, and louder until they
broke.fonh ln liill toned slander; These stories, false
ns they were, were conveyed to the, oars of her lover,
who Incautiously received them f and, without.wall

she went forth with a wretched apd ,bllg(ilcd heart.
Since then, she has been a wanderer—scarce ever

TUB frATE OF THE "FOREIGN LEGION.”
.DY.il.b, ciiafuXn.
The morning of the 14tb of September broke tjlcar
and calm over tbe.dark and frowning battlements of
the castle of Chapoltcpcc. The flag of the Mexicans
streamed proudly out from the rafnpaits bnd waved
iii a11..|18 gorgonsness in the gentle breeze whisli
the plain','.. Shining bayonets and glist*
ening sabres.reflected back the sun's bright rays, and
deeped .mouthed cannon’ boomed out, upon, the Sur
rounding country, threatening declhnnd destructiori
to tnojidvancing.roc. On they filing out,col*
umh after column, from the suberbs of the little vil. 1
lege of Tacabnyn, and sweeping like a destructive
tornado upon the devoted ramparts; 1 Suddenly,-from
thq. batteries of the castle* a stream of flame ,and
•woke shot forth, and all along that lengthened llhei
the missile of terror and death went hand, in hand,
putting down the noble and the bravo, the good "and
the generous, and streaming all In one mingled heap
of goro and blood. War, with all Us blasting and
desolating eftbolo, was carrying grief and misery
into many a heretofore happy familyj.and striking
| father and husband, (he, son and brothelvin tern*
I ble and bloody havoc, and consigning them id ohe
conimon and sorrowful/gravd. /WhiTo the,face* of
the .wife and sister oi wore wreathed in smijes*j
(hat of Ifye liusbdod.pr. brother was wrlthlngin tliq I,
agony of death upon .a foreign soil, and breathing out j i
life's last sigh amid the roar of cannon and. (hoM|n t* '
tie of musketry,. The scene of that fearfujanil fa*
lal mourn will never bb forgotten.
But while this was transacting around Chapulto
pec, .another and still mote leniblq.jjccno was pass*
ing In the little town of MiscOux, sptao"haif a milo
distant from Tacubaya. At the baitfe of Churabus*
co, the deserters under Roily had been captured, and
after,nh impartial trial .'sentenced,to bo hung. They
wore known by the title of the “ Foreign Legion,”
and .were made up of men who had deserted from t he
ranks of the Americans, and joined :thd forces of the
enemy. The day set for their'execution was tho
14lh of September—ond it also happened' that the
attack upon Cliopullcpec tobk place tho same day.
The sun arid jusi riseh, and Ringed the cast with
his purple rayias they wealedfdrth lodie. Thirty
in number, nndsurroundocf'fly a strong body of men,
they' advanced with slow step towards the gnllotVs, j
Che muffled drum sending'forth its death nolcsl arid j
giving to the whole the appearance of a fancfal rath,
cr thah ri-public execution. • They‘were'arranged
tinder the gallows, which was one orccl'cd for tho
purpose—being nothing more than two largo posts
set firmly in lhe ground, across lho lop ofwhich was
placed a pole 1 of sufficient length’to admit the bodies
of thirty men.. Beneath it the prisoners were orra nged
with the noose around their nocks—-the olher'end 'or
the rope being thrown over tho pole, was grasped by,
throb or four men, ready al a moments ‘waffling"to I
launch them into eternity. A gloomy silence perva I
ded the spot and as they "gated upon tho group col*!
looted there, they found no sympathizing glance In
the scowling faces and glaring eyes which were fix
ed upon them. They had destroyed the last feeling
of respebt for them, when thoy took up arms agalrisl
their own countrymen. The usually dark brow of
Col. If ——y, who.supcrinlcnded the execution, was
contracted by a dark froivn K and his deep grey eyes
twinkled savagely in their sockets, as.ho*galtoped up
to the spot| and reined in his smoking charger bs*
side them.
“ I© It nil rqndy. Lioutapant.?” he asked of an b£
fleer who commanded thw guard. * f", " j P I
“ Everything replied llio officer.
“Then jet them’swing,” was the savage reply..
Tho Lieulcnnnl turnedand advanced toward the
prisoners, when suddenly the cyo of tho Colonel fell
upon thb Castle,arid'lh’e deadly roar 'of (he artillery
reached his oar. '
i “ Lieutenant,’’ ho suddenly exclaimed; with start*
llng.enorgyinhjflvofcei l
t “Ayq,.sir,”.replied tho officer,'returning. ; •*.. .
“ilavo cvorylhing ready, but don’t draw them up
until iho'American'fiag.wavofe Put from the flog stuff
of.Clmpilhepeo CasllejVi. r/ , .
11 Aye; sir, it shall bo done,!’ ;And tho Lieutenant
’returned to the gallows..
“If wo ninl hung until tho castlo is taken, by tho
Americano, wo shall have q good long life yet,” sul
lenly exclaimed ono of the prisoners under the
beam. ..
'■V Then live you shall, for till .tho Star Spangled
Banner .waves in victory overyour castle, you shall
not die, ’’ replied Col. II -y, sternly.
• “ Hurrah* boys, wo’ll live a, long life yet. Old
Bravo’s (ho 'man to stick ( to tho/ensile, asjong us
there’s a shot in tho locker,’of a man to'stand by
him,” replied the fellow-will) a shout, .
All eyqs. wore now fixed with a deep intensity upon
thohcighl—and gulling was tho .agony of susponso
which they indured between tho moments which
elnpsctl .during the terrible contest which was going
bn nfound tho oustlo hill. Suddenly (ho flag of tho
Mexicans wont down omjd tho alrllb andlhoColoncl
shouted—
“There goes tho enemy’s banner; the castlo Js
wbn.V •. *’ •'
“And thorp goes (ho flag’ book ognih,’ go It, old
Brave,“ shouted another of llio Legion* os thoMoxl*
eon flag rose to (he top of the staff; and waved to (he
breeze. ’ .
A muttered ojaculalian escaped tho lips of tho
Colonel, nnd ouch ono again fixed his eyes upon the
scene. Tho contest raged on with unubated vigor,
and in n.few marponts tho brow oftlio hill was hid
den from sight, by tho dark cloutfof smoke which
hung thick around it. . A half hour pesssed, and ns
a strong wind swept down tho plain nnd lifted the
smoko from’ off (ha height, Iho-encmy’s flag had
again disappeared from tho staff.’A moment of deep
anxiety followed, apd then the American banner ran
up thn elafT and flouted proudly over tho battle*
moots.
“ Up with them,” thundered the deep voice of tho
Colonel, amhlho next moment'thirty human beings
wore swinging in the lost agonies of death from the
gallows; Qnd as they.quivered in tho rising sunbeams
which glanced along ,tho plain,.no look of, sympathy
fell upon (heir detested features, for all considered
(hat they richly deserved their fate.
Such, reader, jwnr tho fata of the Foreign Legion
—men who, scorning all the attributes of nobleness
and . love of country which • generally exist in an
American, hosom, left tho standard of ,freedom and u
handful of comrades in (lib heart of an enemy’s cou’nl

Messrs; Editors—The confession of VV. Dnndridgo
Eppes.'tho murdercr.of Adolphus Muir, ofDinwlddic
county, Yu., 1 noticed in yoyr paper of. the, 981 b.—
This'is oho of the most extraordinary coses of cofd
blooded-murders timt has ever been recorded in our
and one that is calculated to remind us lo
bo over watchful oyor ourselves, and over mindful of
our . duly lo Him, who hath lohght us. lo say, “ Our
J?ulhcr,'&cl—lead us not into temptation, but deliver
us from evil.”
The writer of this wps,’ ot tlje time (ho deed was
committed, a resident of that county, and. familiar
withJhq parlies and the fueds, and will never forget
. tho'profound sensation created at the qnnounccmcni
ofthc murderer’s name.
Eppesond Muir wore neighbors and friends, oc
ctipying the highest position in society, Thu latter
was a young man full of promise and hope, handsome
and accorpp)^ and was about to offer his hnqd
and heart to the lovely daughter of his destroyer.—
Ho held a bond against Kppos for n fclv hundred
dollars, and wan on a visit to collect the amount ul
lio request of. Eppns, who signified Ills wish *o j>h>*
I. At this visit Eppes proposed a riddnml a Jiuttl
f for deer for nn hour or (Wo, - and'lhon return to din
ner. This was ngrood to, nnd wlicn eeperalcd for-n
few moments, in a quid and secluded spot, llio lain I
shot was given. AVJipn Muir fed, Eppes approached
him, and found him living and under tho impression
that tho shot was. accidental. But seeing Eppes de
liberately re-loading his gun, ho >bccnmo.alarmed,
and inquired If ho Intended to kill him. Eppes re
plied, he did. .Ho told Eppes that If it.was money
that lib desired ho might have tho bond—only spare
his life. Ho then pulled off his watch, handed it to
Eppes, wjlh a rpqucsl „lo givo it to his sister, and
preparped {or his approaching end., .
It.was then lliat Mair,summoned himlomeqlhtm
at tho bar of God, as alluded to in tho confession.—
Eppes stood by calmly listening to his appeals, and
with tho heart of‘a daman, deliberately shot him
again, and plundered him of tho bond and valuables
about his person. This fulal vvatch, accustomed lo
nolo tho fleeting hpur of. time, disclosed tho awful
deed I It was found a few weeks oftcr in a jeweller's
shop in Petersburg, where it had.been sold by the
murderer, fk. connexion of Eppes, accidentally hear
ing of this; immediately despatched a negro man up
on a horse to .inform Eppes of (he discovery. Thu
poor negro, faithful to his trust, but falsi to the horse,
arrived before tho messenger of tho law, and Eppes i
escaped. His escape was only for a time. Tho shl
