Spread broadest away by the Cataract's fail—
Where the harvests of earth tile most plenteously vary
And the children that reap them are happiest of all—
Where the long rolling rivers go mightily trending,
With wealth on their billows through many a clime —
Where Ihe lakes 'mid the woodlands like seas are extend

And Ihe mountains rise lone in Ihe centre sublime 1
Know ye the laud where a Royal Oppressor
Made the Burghers and Husbandmen bow to his will—
But they fought the good tight, under God, the Redressor,
And the heart of humanity beats to it still—
Where the lakes, mounts and plains keep, inspiring or

LOVE versus FABIIIOJ.
BY PAIL CREYTON
• Be candid with me now, Hiram,' said
Mr. Atherton, addressing tits gay nephew ;
4 and (£il me how long before you intend
making the amiable Sophia your wife "
Hiram looked serious, perplexed. Hi
ram heaved a sigh. At length, scratching
his ear, he answered in a low tone—
-4 Never.'
The old gentleman echoed the word in
astonishment.
4 Never ! In the name of reason tell
me why ! I know she loves yotu'
4 She does—l do believe !'
' And you'—
4 There is no oecasiou to deny this
tru'h,' said Hiram. * I love iter dearly.
She is good and affectionate, and true. I
shall never find a person to love better—
more purely.'
4 Then explain this paradox ! \on
have taken no foolish oath to live a bache
lor ?—You are not vainly ambitious of
marrying a fortune V
4 So, no, uncle. But—l am almost
ashamed to confess my feelings—you
know'—
4 Well ! well ! what is it ?*
4 lf I must speak it—l desire a wife to
make a little more show in the world,
than Sophia.'
4 Boy !' exclaimed the old gentleman,
with a gesture of impatience.
4 She is not —not exactly—fashionable,'
murmured Hiram, blushing.
4 Insane!' ejaculated his uncle.
4 Too retired—too careless of appear
ances—too —in short—too' —
4 Too sensible ! I know it! Too good
for a vain fellow like you !' cried Mr.
Atherton. sternly. 4 J am glad you know
jt. Her feathers are not gaudy enough to
compare witli yours—you insipid peacock!'
• I ncle !' interrupted Hiram, his lips
quivering, 4 you are severe.'
4 And who has a belter right ! You
would have no patience with a man who
talks such nonsense as you do—if you had
had my experience. I mean to he severe
—1 always will he severe—l always will
be savage on this argument. No. 1 won't
either. I will tell }on a siorv. Sit down.
1 want your entire attention. ou are
well aware that, in my day, 1 have had
some domestic trouble ■
4 Yes, uncle.'
4 Weil, sir; I'll tell you about that,
forty years ago I was a single man—
\ oung. gay, and foolish as yourself. I' rom
uiv childhood, 1 had loved the best, the
most ami .biei f God'screatures. I nwor
tiiv as I w as, she loved me with an exalted
affection. 1 believe she would have laid
down tier life to make me happy.
4 1 or live years,' pursued the old gentle

man, 4 she had held possession of niv
i heart. All ray dreams of future happiness
' had been inspired by my affection for her.
j She was indeed a portion of ray existence.
J 4 But—l went into the world. I be
, came infatuated with fashion ; i learned
selfishness, vanity, deceit. Julia was nev
er quite forgotten ; but after a separation
I ola tew months—when L had acquired a
taste for gay dissipation—] began to fear
that she would not compare favorably with
the brilliant company into which I had he
come introduced, and the admiration which
I courted.
• 4 Although a future union had always
been considered, as a matter of course, by
both Julia and myself, we had never made
a formal engagement to each other. The
greatest folly—the greatest crime I ever
committed—was the mean advantage 1
took of the peculiar nature of our a<rrec
j ment, to break the contract which" our
hearts had made—the solemn contract,
which, (1 whispered my conscience) was
not binding, because it had not been made
| in the set terms of speech.
4 Loving Julia still—knowing that she
loved—feeling that I could never love
i more strongly, or be more devotedly loved,
I at the same time sacrificed everything to
my fondness lor fashion—l broke the un
uttered oath of love which my heart had
solemnly made.
4 To be brief, I married another !' ex
claimed .Mr. Atherton, in a tone of bitter
. self-reproach.
4 \ ou loved her, of course,' suggested
Hiram.
4 That other? Evelina? Yes; oh,
yes ! I loved her very well : she was
such a tine lady—such an excellent match !
| I was so fortunate, it was said, to win the
hand of such a magnificent creature ! But
how different was my secoud love from
my first ! It was composed ol passion,
admiration and pride. 1 adored Evelina;
1 thought it a condescension in her to love
me. But where was the purity, the unsel
j lishness, the deep devotion, to which m\
heart had not, formerly, been a stranger*.'
Alas ! where was my iirst love ?
4 Julia was not forgotten. I said to mv
self-—•! love her a little yet; hut it was
impossible for me to marry her.' Then
j my heart was so puffed with congratula
tions and flattery, on tiie occasion°of the
i grand wedding which came off, that 1 had
| scarcely room m it for anything but vanitv.
4 Well, I was married." 1 had the satis
faction of knowing that fifty fashionable
: fellows envied me the possession of so fair !
I and accomplished a bride. 1 knew, too,
that 1 had gained an influence, an import
ance, in society—all through the instru
■ mentality of my fashionable wife.
4 And she loved me, too, as well as peo
ple of fashion usually love. 1 had noth
; ing to complain of on that score. Much
as everybody admired her, 1 had no occa
' sion forjealousy.'
4 Then,' said Hiram, timidly, 4 von must
have been satisfied with the match !—\ ou
j should have been happv.'
4 Perhaps I should." And for a long
time I was. I could afford extravagance
—1 had lime fur dissipation— and 1 led a
gay life for five years. But gradually 1
grew thoughtful. Day after day 1 felt
more and more that i was drinking the
! cup of my folly. A wrinkle in Evelina's
brow frightened me. Every gray hair
which silvered the darkness "of my locks,
cost me a thousand sighs. Age appeared
to me dreadful. My feelings on this sub
ject convinced me o'f the truth what coii
; science had so often whispered that iny
w car\ heart was smlul. 1 said to Eveli
na—' Het us give over this butterllv's ex
istence, in which only the youthful "should
indulge.' She sighed, and repaired her
lading beauty with powder and rouge.
4 Then I saw the necessity of the peace
of home to the heart of man. 1 fell hun
gry for the happiness of the household
hearth. But Evelina had no sympathy
with my longings. She answered my
sighs with hollow laughter. Home pos
sessed no delights for her. She led me in
, the same cheerless chase after gaietv, when
I was weary—weary—weary nigh unto
death !
| 4 We lost our only child. Heart-broken,
| humble, dying for want of sympathy in
my desolation, 1 prayed Evelina to with
draw with me from the world, and from
| 'hat time of sorrow, to know its hollow
ness and heartlessness no more. She
could not deny herself! The intoxication
ol what is falsely called pleasure, was ne
cessary to her existence. From that time
1 led a life of lonely wretchedness.
4 The next crisis in my exisiencc I will
pass over brielly. Evelina's health failed
her. But she kept up and struggled with
the strength of the destroyer until one fa
tal night. She look cold coming from a
ball. In one week she was—
-4 I was a widower,' said the old gentle
mau, coughing, 4 A sad widower, too—
one whom alllictioa had taught a terrible
lesson. I was plunged deep in desponden- ;
i*y, when I heard from —Julia.
• People told me she was ill. Some
said she was dying. I had not seen her in
ten years—my affection for her had smoul
dered m ashes—she had become like a
sweet vision of which 1 had sometime
dreamed but dimly—yet when the news of
her illness came to me, all the past came
with it, and my heart strings libraled with

passionate sorrow—with the sadness of
lost love.
I 4 I hastened to see her. I arrived in
■ time to hear irom her own lips, so cold and
pale, that her heart had been faithful to me
ever—that cruel as I hud been, she had
never ceased to love me. 1 arrived in time
to know that my folly had cost me a price
less jewel—the pure love of a true-hearted
woman. 1 arrived in time to confess my
faulis with heart-breaking sorrow, and to
be forgiven—in time to see her—die!
4 It was that grief which knows no con
i solution, that had worn out her life. She
had rejected the best offers of marriage,
because, loving me, she could love no
j other; and without loving, she could never
inarrv.
Ali, my nephew ! I have no words to
express the bitterness, the sharpness of
my regrets, remorse, grief, despair urged
me near to ihe grave—but—l have lived
to remember and mourn I
4 And i tell you more !'
And with trembling fingers, the old gen
tleman brushed a tear from his eye ; while
iliram, pale, thoughtful, agitated, regarded
liirn earnestly.
4 No,' murmured the young man, in a
deep voice, as lie pressed his uncle's hand.
1 ant convinced. j here is no true hap
piness in married lite, except which

A lew weeks later, the old gentleman
attended a wedding ; and lie was happy in
the thought that his sad experience had
been the means of uniting the youthful
lliraui and his true hearted iSophia.
A Dream Realised.
Some time during the past summer, a
stranger stopped at one of the watering
places on tiie mountain south of Waynes
boro, Franklin county, in this state. After
his arrival there he was taken sick, and for
several days apparently deranged. On
his recovery he informed the proprietor of
the house, that during his illness he had
dreamed for three nights in succession
that he had discovered ata certain distance
in'the mountain, under a rock, an earthen
crock, containing a large amount of silver.
At this the worthy host expressed his sur
prise, and spoke of it as a mysterious
dream. Afterwards, however, they were
walking together in that direction, when
the dream was again adverted to by the
stranger, and the proprietor at once pro
posed an examination, to satisfy their cu
riosity. I'he rock was soon found, and
after carefully brushing away tiie leaves
it was moved and to their utter astonish
ment there sat a crock full of silver. They
took it out and conveyed it secretly to the
house, and on examination it was found
to contain § tOO, (all in halt dollars) which
was div ided equally between them. The
day alter the discovery, the stranger was
about to take liis leave ol the mountain,
and complained to his friend, the pro
prietor of tiie springs, of the inconvenience
of carry ins silver, when an exchange was
proposed and made, tiie stranger receiving
bankable paper for his silver. It was not
ioug alter his departure, however, till tiie
proprietor had made another disooverv —
hit four hundred dollars in silver was
eoun/t'ijtif, and lie had thus heen inge
niously swindled out of two hundred dol
lars.
These farts we have gathered from a
reliable source, and that they are correct
there is not the shadow of a doubt.—
U uyne-ibori/ Her.
.1 Supernatural Well.
One of the most remarkable narratives
that we have seen in the papers of late
relates to the mode in which Cooper's
Well—a somewhat famous watering place
in Mississippi—was discovered. A pamph
let detailing the facts of the ease has been
published.
From this we learn that the proprietor
is, or was, the Rev. I'reston Cooper—a
preacher of character in the Methodist
church. It appears that in 18d7, Mr.
Cooper purchased a tract of land on which
the well was discovered, lie built him
self a house, and went to work to obtain
water for its use. lie commenced dig
ging a well. At the depth of thirty feet
a hard rock was struck, when the labor
was abaudoned, and a spacious cistern
substituted for it. Mr. Cooper, after pro
viding for his family, proceeded to V'Cks
burg, where lie had charge of a church.
One night he had a dream. The figure of
a man, of a familiar face, commanded him
to resume the digging of his well, and told
him that it was ail important. The same
figure came again within a few subsequent
nights and repeated the injunction, and
thus it came week after week for five
months, at the end of which period, doubt
less impressed by the apparation, the dig
ging was resumed. The second effort
carried the well through a stratum of rock
nine feet in depth ; but further progress
was checked by another and harder stra
tum. The work was again abandoned.
Two months then passed, and the ghostly
visitor again appeared in Mr. Cooper's
visions with the same command to pro
ceed with the well. It came nightly un
til the work was begun the third time.
After digging thirty feet further, without 1
effect, it was again stopped. A year pas
sed away, when the same ghostly man in
the dream came back with sterner injunc
tions to continue the well. The fourth
digger was engaged. He commenced
work on the 13lh of September, 1841,
and on the 10th, three days aftewards, the
water came gushing forth in a copious i
stream. Thus the well was begun and
continued through the depth of 101 feet, j
ol which 75 were solid rock.
In ihe last dream which led to the :
acquisition of water. Mr. C., saw the dig
ger employed, and dreamt also that the I
water was got and that this man as it rose
to the surface uttered the words ; 44 1 have I
got water, but it stiukcth mightily, so that
you can never use it. The same words
were actually repeated by this man when,
after digging the last time, success atten
ded his labor.
I he water was examined and found to
be of estimable medical properties for
diarrhea, dyspepsia, dropsv, gravel, dia
betes, general debility, &c.,'and within the
last three years, not less than $50,000
have been spent by visitors who have
sought it.
There can be no doubt that this strange
narrative has the authority ot .Mr. Cooper
hims( It. 1' or the rest we say nothing. In
these days of general spiritual manifesta
tations. it is hardly discreet to doubt anv
thing. .Mr. Cooper's character, too, is
such that one can hardly question his
good faith in the matter. If the story was
intended merely as a puff it would be
very clever; but as it is, it acquires
another sort of importance.— Mobile Her
ald.
A Sucker.
J here is a definition of this term, so
commonly applied, that is not found in
either Johnston or Webster. A sucker is
a being who may be found hanging about
bar-rooins, watching lor the entrance of
an acquaintance who, from mistaken liber
ality, will ask him to eat oysters, drink a
toddy or smoke a cigar, a favor or cour
tesy which your sticker is never known
to reciprocate. i'he sucker generallv
speaking, if a married man, is a shiftless,
idle fellow ; and his poor wife is compel
led to work her fingers to the bone, to sup
port a iamily oi children, who, though,
they have a father, never receive his
provident fatherly care; or if your sucker
le a single man, his luggage is very light,
and easy of transportation, and he <:ets
tive, or six, or seven weeks' hoard out of
the poor widow, who depends upon the
money to pay the rent, butcher's and gro
cer's bills, exigencies predominant in the
keeping of a boarding-house.—lie also
loafs about a printing office or editorial
room, until a favorable opportunity is af- (
lorded the editor for kicking him out.
\ our sucker, about lunch time, is always
iound going into the provender, provided
somebody asks liini to eat, drink, or
smoke, through pity or a mistaken kind
ness. Shun a sucker; or, if you would
get rid ol him, lend hini a dollar—no more
—and he will cease to trouble for a time,
at least. This animal abounds in everv
community, and is peculiar in everv clime.
Jov AND CONTENT. —There are two kindly
flowers in the gaiuen ol human life, germinat
ed ujion the rosebush happiness, and watered
by the running brook of love. Ilappy lie who
ciiail be able to cull them without being wound

hind, and the beautiful flowers become meta
morphosed in the hand of the gatherer, to si r
row and discontent. The thorns differ, and
those keenest are jealously and These
produce a lurking pang, and change the fresh 1
hue of tiie flowers of .j >y and content into the
warm color of sorrow and discontent. Conso
