When-tho vessel was again about to sail, ills wavered, ho (Uttered himself that matters ia,m\gUt ycl lake a more favorable turn; ho laml !g*otl, end travelled about twelve miles on Ids way Wto Hoino-. but. his resolution again failed him, a and ho onco more returned lounnla tho sea.— I Being arrived on the coast, he sill) hesitated, re mained on shore, and passed the night in agonies 1 of sorrow, whioh wore interrupted only by mo moratory starts of indignation and rage, tinder (hcao emotions, ho sometimes solaced himself with a prospect of returning to Rolno m dis guise, of killing himself In Iho presence ol Oc tavius, and of staining the person of that young traitor with «ho blood of a man, whom ho had so ungratefully and so vilely betrayed, Lven this appeared to his Iranlic Imagination eowo Uegroo of revenge, but tho fear of discovered before ho could execute his purpose, the pros pect of tho tortures and'indignities ho was like ly to suffer, deterred him from this design { and being unablo to take any resolution whatever, ho committed himself td his attendants, WnS car ried on board of a vessel,and sfeoredfor Capua. Jfcar to this placo, having another villa, on (ho Bhoro r ho was again landed, and being fatigued with tho motion of tho sea, went to-resh but his Servants, according to Iho Btiporstltioh of tho times, being disturbed with prodigies and unfa vorable presages, or rather being sensible of • their master's danger, alter a little repbso awa ’ Hod him from his sleep, forced hllh Ihlo Ms lit ter, and hastened again to embark. Soon after they were gone, Popilius Bronas, a tribune of tho legions, and Iloronnius, a centurion, with n party who had been for Somo days In search of thj«*prcy, arrived at (ho villa. Fropliius had tccoivcd particular obilgatlbhs from Cicerb, having-boon defended by him when tried upon a criminal accusation t but those wore times, In *liich bad men could make a merit of ingrall* jade to their former benefactors, wlioh It sorvccl to Ingratiate them with those In power.. This officer, with his party, finding Ifio gates Of the court aud the passages of tho villa shbt, burst them open | but missing the person they Bought far, and-suspecting ho.must have taken bis Ulghfogaln to tho sen, they pursued through on avenuo that led to tho shore, and camo In Bight of-Clccro’s litter, bofbro ho had loft tho walks of his own garden. On tho appearance ofamilltaryparty,Cicero perceived tho end of his labors, ordered tho bearers of tho litter to halt { alid having beoh hitherto, while there were any hopes of escape, distressed chloQy by tho perplexity and imloci slon of his own mind, ho became, as soon as ids fate appeared to be Certain, determined and c »lm, In this situation, ha was observed (o stroke ids cbln with his loft hand, a gesture for which ho was rutV s vrkablo In Ids moments of thoughtfulness, and when least disturbed Upon tho approach of the party, ho put his bead from (ho litter, and fixed his eyes upon the trt. hUDo with great composure. Tho countenance of a man bo well known to every Homan, no\y Worn out With fatigue ttUd dejection, and disfig ured by tho neglect of tho usual ajtonilon to his person, made a moving spectacle oven to those who camo to assist in his murder. They hur tled away, while the assassin performed his of fice, and severed the head from.pis body. Tims perished Marcus Tullius Cicero, in (ho CAth year of his ago. • DRATH OR POMPBY.

BRATTON. VOL. 44. anxious for (bo future, and trembling under the expectations of a scene which was acting before them. Soon after (ho bargo had left tho ship, i’ompoy looking behind bira; observed among (ho Egyptian soldiers, a person whoso’ counte nance ho recollected, ana sold to him —« Suroi ly, fellow soldier,* yon and I have served somo- Whofo together.” While ho turned to speak these words, Achilles bcckoped to: tho; other soldiers, who, understanding (ho, signal to put tllo Roman general to death, struck’ him with (heir swords. Pompey was so much prepared for.'this event, that ho perceived tho whole of his situation at onto, and sunk without making, any straggle, or uttering one Word. This was done in tho presence of tho king of Egypt and of his army, who were ranged on a kind of am. phithcatrc, formed by the shore. The vessel In which the unhappy Cornelia, with hci' family, was left, and the litllo squadron which attended it, ns if (hoy had received a signal to depart, cut their cables and fled.. Thus died Pompey, Who, for aboVo thirty years, enjoyed (ho reputation of the first captain of tho ago. 'Tho title of great, originally no moro than a casual expression of regard, from Sylla, continued, in tho manner of tho Romans, to ho given him as a mark of esteem, and a name of distinction. Ho attained to more considera tion, and enjoyed it longer than any other Ro man cltizdn; and was supplanted nt last, because, for many years of his life, ho thought himself too high to bo rivalled, and too sccuro.to bo shaken In his place. His last defeat, and tho total ruin which ensued upon it, was the conse quence of an overweening confidence, which left him altogether unprepared for the first un toward event.- Tho impression of his character, oven after that event, was still so strong in (ho minds of ids enemies, that Caesar overlooked all tho other remains of (ho . anqnishcd party to pursue their lender. DEATH OF BRUTUS, As, from the signal now made, it appeared to Brutus and the small company who attended him. that the camp was still in possession of their own ppoplc, they thought of making their wily thither ; but recollecting that the greater part of the army were dispersed, they doubted whether the lines could bo defended until they could reach them, or even if they should bo maintained'so long, whether they could furnish any safe retreat. While they reasoned in this manner, one of their number, who went to the brook for water, returned with the alarm that the enemy were upon the opposilc bank j and saying, with some agitation, 44 Wo must fly.” Vcs,” replied Brutus, «• but with our hands, not with our feet.” lie was then said to have repented, from some poet, n tragic exclamation in the character of Hercules; "0 Virtue! I thought thee a substance, but find dice no more than an empty name, or the slave of Fortune.” The vulgar, in their traditions, willingly.lend dieir own thoughts to eminent men in distress; those of Brutus arc expressed in his letter to Aitfcus: " I have done my part, and wait for the issue, in which death or freedom is to fol low.” . If he had ever thought that a mere hon oralflo intention was to ensure him success, it is not surprising he was not sooner undeceived. Being now to end his life, and faking leave, of the company then present, ono by one, he said aloud, ‘‘That ho was happy in never having been betrayed by.any ono.no had trusted ns n friend.” Some of them, to whom ho after wards whispered apart, were observed to burst into tears ; and it appeared that ho requested their assistance in killing himself; for ho soon afterward** executed this purpose, in'company with one Strato and some others, whom he boa token aside. This catastrophe,'ns usual, set (he imagina tions of men to work ; and many prodigies and presages were believed to have preceded it. A spectre, it was said, hna presented Itself in tho night to Brutim, when he was about to pass Iho Hellespont, told him it was Ins evil genius, and was to meet him again at Philippi; that here it accordingly again Appeared on the eve of the late action. Brutus was then about thirty-seven or forty years of age. Next to Cato, he, of nil the Ro mans, was supposed to have acted from the pu rest motives of public virtue. EXCESSIVE DRESS. Tho consideration of dress ns a mirror Sn which it way be said to reflect tho moral con dition of the individual or the community, has never hud much serious consideration.* More (hah two-thirds of our race arc like floating corks, the blind creatures of all conflicting so cial currents, with little or no consciousness of action ns it should bo regulated by moral prin ciple. A plethoric influx of money, from com mercial and other pursuits, is sure to breed tho rankest kind cf luxury, which carries with it a vicious propensity to excessive dressing, and this assumes SO many morbid variations, as not only to insult art, to parody nature, but even to expose that sacrcdncss of personality la wo man which hasjbccn spiritually purchased for her by tho religious growth of ages. Out of brutal idotitary to fashion, or a degrading con cession to tho carnal tins of tho time,'women out too frequently poison our social atmosphere by immodestly roublng their persons of that chaste and becoming drapery, which is as en nobling to the wearer ns it is beneficial to the beholder. Tho person- of every woman has a fnofal dignity, a religious import, which can only bo vindicated and maintained by being be comingly and modestly attired- Whether in tho street or tho boudoir, this solemn (ruth should not bo IbrgOUctt. Men but (llUo dream that, in wickedly stimulating o love of dress by their overflowing pockets, and out of au insane vanity fur display, they arc busily engaged in infusing poison into iho moral roots of society, which must shoot forth sooner or later into tt forest of the*most terrible and blasting evils and obscenities.; Sensuality and vanity arc in every community interlinked like two vipers, and arc not only born out of, but arc perpetua ted by a misapplication of wealth.—Crugon. CAUGHT IN A TRAP. • Wa *n lole ty . l ! mt a strange event occurred m the village of Ilampignollca. France. One of 11.0 inhabitants hud dug n pit for Ilia purpose of catching a wolf, nnd after covering it’ put on the top, to attract the animal, a living goose Anotherinbabitant of the village Saw from a distance the goo.se. The obscurity not permit, ting him io distinguish the trap, ho approached and fell to tho bottom of the pit. The pit was eight or leu feci deep and the aides were perpen dicular. Great was his astonishment, npd f;rcalcr yet was his embarrassment, at finding limsclf in llmt position: and it was not until after having for sonio time called lor help that ho resolved patiently to wait for daylight nnd meanwhile innke.himsclf ns comfortable ns pos sible. Hut hardly hnd ho (nlccn this resolution when ho felt a heavy weight fall on his shoul ders. This was a wolf, which, attracted by tho bait, had also been caught by tho trap.—• You can easily imagine tho fright of the unfor tunate man. At length day broke ami to (ho poor companion of tho wolf it seemed iimo fur it to break, for tho night had appeared to him terribly Idng. Tho owner of the trap canio early to see what ho hnd caught, nnd foundlds neighbor in tho nit. IXo drew out tho unfortu nate man more (lend than alive, hut ho was less generous to tho wolf, which ho killed notwith standing his exemplary conduct through tho night. ! <§> '*oo7l COUNTHT—MAT. IT ALWAYS■ Bjf —BUT EIGHT OE WRONG, OUE COUNTRY.”- Mnn-oMYnt Bnrtal nt Sta mid on Shore, The burial of tho dead at sea is at all times an impressive and affecting ceremony. At tho shrill piping and floarso cry of tho boatswain and bis mates—“ All hands, bury tho dead> ahoy I” the Officers collect on the quarter-deck, and tho men, with tho boatswain nt their head, In tho waist i though with features not very ex pressive of gjlef. or pity, with a respectful and rather serious air in their rough; weather-beaten faces and sturdy bearing, as affecting, perhaps, strictly according with tho solemnity of tho occasion, as tho sobs, or it may bo, tho silence, ofa few near i datives, among a crowd of thought less, rcsticas, indifferent spectators on shore. — Tho body of tho deceased, sown up in his ham mock, with a shot or two to make ft sink, is now placed upon a plank, one end ot which rests at tho gangway, tho other upon tho shoulder of a couple of shipmates. The chaplain then steps forth, or in his absence one of tho officers, and reads (ho burial, service. At tho first w.oyds— “l am (ho resurrection and tho life”—officers and men uncover their heads; tho hum of tho busy and peopled deck for a time ceases, and nothing is hoard but tho voice of tho Quorter master, more impressive than silence, chanting at tho wheel his wonted ee Pott a little,” “Stea dy, so,” at times, to tho steersman. At tho words—“ Wo therefore commit his body to tho deep” tho body is launched from the plank 5 a sudden plunge is hoard; if sinks to its unknown and fathomless grave; tho ship passes carelessly on, like a bird shaking a feather, unconsciously from her wing; (he hum of its busy inmates, and tho hoarse brattling of the spoaklng’trumpct once more break in upon (ho silence ; and tho | dead is for tho time forgotten, and, perhaps, re membered no more. The burial of a seaman on shore is, unluckily for. tho more grave and scri. onsly disposed spectator, opt to bo attended with certain mistakes, and other incidents of a rather humorous diameter; for a sailor no soon er. leaves (lie ship than ho really seems to leave his wits with it. I was tho other morning Invit ed by ono of the Lieutenants to accompany him to one of the small lonely rocky islands, flung like a chain across tho entrance of tho bay,-and witness this, to me, novel ceremony. A few foot of earth had been thrown out from tho side of a hill at a short distance from the shore, and to this rude snbstiluto for a grave, tho coffin was borne on handspikes. An attempt was made to form tho mourners, to tho no great number of ten or fifteen, into a kind of strag gling funeral procession, but without much ef fect. There Was a constant stepping out Of tho lino to discover what was “ going on ahead and stumbling and jostling of shoulders, and grazing of heels, with at times a querulous, and to say tho least of it, hard word. Tho coffin having at length-been laid in Its rude grave, and the earth hastily filled in and heaped over it, the Lieutenant ordered thopv to gather round, and commenced reading, in a chnplain-likc manner, tho burial service. There was no groat atten tion, on the part of tho spectators, for they could not bo called listeners. Ono follow, with his hands thrust into (ho bosom of his jacket, might bo spied, spitting through his teeth, and looking forth, with a critical eyo, upon tho sea and ship, as if, forsooth, ho had never seen either before; anothci busily adjusting tho knotot a bit of rope yarn upon his old rag of a tarpaulin; a the leather belt of tho waistband ofhis breeches; a fourth deliberately helping blmseli toacomfort ablo-quld of tfbacco; and perchanco, a fifth sending forth a careful eyo around the Island;*!!*,’ by good hick, ho might detect some lurking va gabond of n Greek with a drop of liquor about him, to begot for love or money. Atthowords —“ Wo therefore commit this body to (ho earth —dust to dust, ashes to there was a sudden start and bustle in (bo whole company, and each catching np whatever of (ho earthly kind lay near him, and one,. I noticed, n stone of some two or three pounds weight, throw it upon the grave. Tim burial service finished, I supposed tho ceremony was over, but it scorned tho moat important part remained—which was to sol tho edge of the grave carefully around with green twigs and pebbles, tb the exclusion, no doubt, of all evil spirits and witches.—Jhio nyrmmx.
