THE VIRGIN’S GRAVE. ’Tis a lowly grave, but it suits her best, Since it breathes of fragrance and speaks of rest, And meet for her is its calm repose, Whose life was so stormy and sad to its close. ’Tie a shady dell where they laid her form, And the hitls gather round it to break the storm, While above her head the bending trees Arrest the wing of each ruder breeze. A trickling stream, as it winds below, Has a music of peace in its quiet flow, And the buds that are eveisin bloom above, Tell of some ministering spirit’s love. It is sweet to think, that when all is o’er, And life’s fever’d pulses shall fret no more, There still shall be one, with a fond regret, Who will not forsake, who cannot forget. One kindlier heart, all untainted by earth, That has kept the fresh bloom from its bud and its birth, ■' Whose tears for the sorrows of youth shall be shed, And whose pray’r shall still rise for the early dead. THE COUSINS. BT LASSFOBE [concluded.] Mary ! cried a voice from the hall the morning after hex walk—Mary! your Father wishes to see •>Oll. Yes, I will soon be down, she replied, in her nat ural, sweet-toned voice, and hastening to adjust her hair, she hurried down to meet her Father. As she opened the parlor -door her Father advanced to meet, her. He-could not help noticing how sad she looked, for she had been weeping the whole morn ing over the Leftenant George’s story. Why, Mary 1. are you unwell?, exclaimed her Father, as he took ‘‘her hand and bade her good morning. •No, dear Father, lam only sad—l heard some >;ery strange things concerning Harry last night. Why, my dear, that is exactly what.l wished to tell you. I received this letter from a gentleman this morning at the hotel. You may read it, he •aid, placing it in her hands. The letter ran thus: Bryant’s Hotel, M——. . Dear Sib : —I wish to have a private interview with you this morning. I have some intelligence to communicate, concerning Midshipman Harry .Wegton, who, I believe, is in some way connected with you. Meet me at 32, Byrant’s Hotel, at 10 o’clock, and oblige a well-wisher of the family. Geobqe Conway, Lieut. U. S. N. Tuesday morning. Well, Mary, what dost thou think? 1 suppose I must meet him. Yes, shfe exclaimed, do Father. For Heaven knows dear Harry—l mean cousin—has suffered enough since he has joined the Navy, she said, as a jfaint blush mantled her'cheek. The old man raised his eyes, and looking at her archly, said : I don’t half like this thing of cousins taking such an active interest in each other, and as for dearing them, he is anything but dear to me. Why, Father. lam sure you always thought so much of Harry, or used to before his money was squandered. You think his heels has run away • with his wits. When he joined the Navy he was the best fellow living, because he showed his wil lingness to earn his own bread. But, Mary, I sincerely hope nothing serious has befallen him, for it is out of my power to aid him in any way, said the Father. Then he dies! screamed Mary, while she threw herself on the lounge and burst into tears. ' The old man bent over her and tried to soothe her troubled sobs. Come, Mary, tell me what is the matter, you look and act so strangely this mor ning. Come, dearest, confide in me. Father, ask me not. I feel I have not sufficient strength, nor can I speak, for my emotion chokes me. Visit this gentleman, he will tell you all. I wish to retire to my room, and I will see you when you return. • Good morning, she said, kissing him on the cheek. God bless thee, my daughter, I'll go and hear vhat is to be heard, and to see what is to be seen-; while he spoke, Mary left the room, and he followed after. THE EXPLANATION. George sat waiting impatiently on his visitor.— The servant soon entered and announced Mr. Ham il, .the name of Mary’s Father. George rose, and taking his hand, remarked, the business upon which I wish to see you is this—you have a nephew by the name of Harry A. Weston, in the U. S; Navy, I believe, sir. I have, my dear sir, and would thankfully receive any information concerning him. X am led to believe from my daughter’s conduct that there is some danger before him. Before him ! No danger ever stood before that boy that he was not in it, my dear sir; he is now confined in the prison fwA-'-S —,on a small isle in 4 the West India group. He is awaiting his trial for Mutiny, so reads the charge. But witness God he is innocent. • Yet the Martial Judges are so easily controlled by the Post Captains, that he will stand no chance on trial. My object is to rescue him. By your assistance, my dear sir, 1 hope I can rely on it. The old man studied a few moments, and raising his head, replied: I, sir, will provide a vessel, if you provide a Lei- Urs de against the Spanish Government, and you will also choose your own men. I will provision the vessel,-and give my earnest prayers ' for your success. Thank, thank you, cried George, and in the ex cess of his joy he caught the old man's hand and tyrung it so hard that it made him shout with pain. After thy excitement is over, George, said the old man, we will settle the affair with thee, coming to my house and taking tea. George thanked the old man for his kindness, and accepted his invitation. A * * * # m ’Tis evening; thy fovely face, sweet moon, is again keeping vigil over the silent and lovely spot •by the old mill pond. Seated within that beautiful little cottage are two persons; hand in hand they •it, while both are attentively watching the quiet, rural scene without. One of those persons looks lovely, even in. the saddened expression that is 'thrown there, as she sets gazing intently on the silver waters, her eyes are filling fast with tears— ’tis useless to try to check them—they are sure monitors of her heart A low sob is heard break ing the quiet and heavy slumber that lay around. The youpg man presses her hand in silent sympa thy, While he finds it a hard matter to check his own emotion. Another sob and a long-drawn sigh was the answer to his inquiring look. George, I am thinking of dear Harry. What must he besuffering in such a loathsome spot as you describe,. You may think this is foolish, George? yet I • cannot restrain my feelings—for * Heaven knows how I love him. Yes, Harry 1 she exclaimed, how dear, how very dear art thou to me. As she ceased, she raised her tearful eyes toward on spot in Heaven—a bright glimmer', a pure light shone from thence, and yet, while her earnest gaze was fixed on that one star,, something, a zephyr, in a tone low and sweet, whispered, hope on, he will yet be thine. Yonder in the offing lays a bark; a.ship of good ly parts, one among a thousand—a vessel destined by a Lady to rescue her Lover, or die, sink, blown up—any fate will she have rather than return with out him. She is a fast sailer and built for a noble purpose. Therefore go henceforth with this name Covis Ladye. So saying, he fired the baptismal bot tle over the beautiful vessel, and she bowed grace fully to her name. Indeed, she was a beauty, a long rakish hull, sharp cutwater, fine trimmed sails, a good manly crew, and excellent officers. She was all a vessel need be to challenge the winds and waves, or to withstand the foeman’s balls. As soon as the pistol shot was heard on deck, a boat left the ship for shore. The Lieutenant stepped back a lew paces, and beckoned to a lady who was sea ted on a rock behind some bushes. She advanced towards him. Well, Mary, he said, I sail this night, be thou here at 12 o’clock; I will whistle three times; then you answer by singing a bar of some new music, so that I may not be deceived. Are you certain your Father is very willing for you to be out; for if he is not, perhaps he might wish you to stay in to-night. * Never fear, dear George, all is safe there. I will be certain to ascertain il he has retired before I make the venture. But Harry will hardly like to see me in male attire, therefore I will make all ne cessary preparations, so that I can assume my proper attire as soon as we reach the island. Well, here is ,the boat, so farewell for a short time and success attend your enterprize, replied George. So saying, he stepped into the boat, and was rowed to the gopd vessel Ladye. Silence, drear silence reigns throughout the old cottage at{ : the mill. The water wheel has ceased its noise, and no longer are heard nightly whoops of the owl or still more ominous cry of the whip poor-will. : Tis a lovely evening—all nature looks serene—everything is so quiet, there was not a breath of wind to stir a leaf. The calm, unruffled bosom of the pond reflect the starry Heavens in double beauty. All is hushed. ! Tis like the sleep that knows no waking; slumber has laid hands on Nature—she rests. Ere she again assumes her busy attire, one thing will be wanting to complete the beauty of this quiet glen. See yon pale rose bud, has it a companion? It has been so; one person its mate away—no wonder then that it should need companionship. But hist! was that not a footstep. Yes, and yonder comes the intruder. She advances towards the rose, stoops over it, and inhales its fragrant perfume. Alas, poor rose, must thou too be left to dwindle, fade and die; or, even worse, to be plucked by some rude hand which does not know the dear associa tions connected with thee. And what art thou, an emblem of myself. The mate was taken by one I love, and thou, like me, left to wither and to die for want of affections dews. Yes, poor rose, our fates have been, thus far, even similar, and so shall be ever to the last. So afcying, she plucked the flower from the stem and placed it on her bosom. There shalt thou repose until Harry's hand or- death divides us. Alas, sweet home, must I thus bid thee farewell. 4 She sung a few beautiful stanza to her home, and as the enchanting music stole gently down the dell, the echo, both far and near, repeated Home, Farewell. ; a Farewell, Father, fare the well; Nor chide not my wayward steps from thee. My heart its anguish canftot tell— They are for one I love as well as thee. Listen, there comes a sound, ’tis the old mill bell Tolling slowly and sadly, it says farewell!” Then dashing the tears frpm her bright eyes, she hastens along towards the beach. Suddenly a quick ring of a pistol breaks the silence, and casting her eyes towards the ship, perceives the vessel rounding to, and bearing towards the shore. 'Soon a boat is at the beach, then the signal given and answered, and another moment she is seated in the stern sheets in all the dignity of a Post Captain of the Navy. - Lend a hand, my men, commanded her well-drilled voice to a masculine tone, a hearty pull, boys, and altogether. The men pulled fast, and in a few moments she \yas on the quarter deck. Three cheers as heatty as ever arose from the quarter deck greeted her as she passed for the cabin. Lieut. George remained on deck, and collecting the men together, made known the nature of the cruise—however, conceal ing the sex of the Captain. When he had finished, he was cheered, and the men retired to their re spective quarters well pleased with themselves and officers. For the InUHlpnctr Heave anchor, and heave O, went up with a hearty good will from the jolly sailors. Soon the vessel was put under all canvass and stood out to sea. Watch was stationed, and everything arran ged for the night, before George went below. The cabin was furnished handsomely, with two distinct sleeping apartments—a dining saloon— lounges, and everything was as comfortable as Mary, or Capt. Hamil, as we will hereafter call her, could desire; When George entered the cabin she was laying in a beautiful position on a lounge, asleep, the fatigues of the day having been so great. George thought 6he had never looked so lovely— her hair, which she now kept confined with a band, was loose, and the flowing curls fell in clusters over her lovely face. The uniform which she wore fitted her so nicely, and showed a form fault lessly perfect. George stood a few minutes gazing on the unconscious beauty. As he turned away, a sigh, deep and long, came from his manly soul.— He gazed one moment more, and he envied Harry. Come, reader, we must now T visit this gloomy prison—how cold and damp the air grows as we proceed from tier to tier, downward to-the cell in which Harry was confined. Draw aside this grating and watch the prisoner. Oh, what a change has come over that handsome form and face ; his hair is matted over his head and blood-shot eyes, and the cold damp dew is standing on his face.— There he stands a picture of misery and neglect; his hands are clenched over the top of his head, while the expression about the mouth and muscles are rigid, and plainly speaks of the agony raging within. Whist! he speaks; his voice low and hollow—’tis a strange unnatural effort to make a syllable arise from that parched soul, yet it comes, and we must be silent, resting against the cold damp wall, he thus speaks of past events. I had a mother once. Oh, she was a kind and gentle being, more fit for Heaven than this earth ; fond memory brings her before my eyes as I was wont to see, sailing happily at the playful gambols of her own, her darling boy.’' Wert I in disgrace, her sympathy was ever with me ; wert 1 in sorrow her tears mingled with mine; there was a same ness between mother and child, yet God decreed that I was to feel grief, grief such as withers the heart and causes its source to dry and fade. .My mother died and I was left alone. I buried her amid the little village graves. I taught the wild rose, the briar and evergreen to twine and creep above her grave, and a weeping willow was ever sighing by her side. No evening star shone but what saw me at her side, and there in grief and agony poured forth my soul to my Creator. Then was I happy. That was holy ground, and all that stepped there I considered intruders, yet things will change; time will displace the deepest seated grief that man is capable of feeling. ' The end of the year found me less watchful and constant at her narrow home. I become fond of amusement, and mingled with the gay and witty. I laughed, sang, and revelled with boon companions. I became reckless and daring. The fortune that was left by my blessed mother soon passed into other hands. I was ad vised the Navy as a profession. I went one voyage, was promoted, returned on a visit to my native place and tnet my own dear Mary. Mary, sweet .name, it brings recollections of happy days spent with thee. m 3 4 As Harry ceased \ 0 gpg a k there came a slow distinct rattle against the bars of his window.— Slowly he raised his head to see Irom whence the noise proceeded Aye, see how he starts, how quick his eyes roll, and what an increased emotion tears his frame. It was but an idle dream. Me thought I saw a hand, a hand well known to me, of lily whiteness j it waved a leaf of laurel • then vanished; yet 'twas a mere dream, not reality as my excited mind did think, he said in a low hollow THE COVIS LADYE. THE ELOPEMENT “ THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS, WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.”— Buchanak. CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 21, 1850. voice, and taking a step forward he sprang with one bound beneath the grated window and searched for some clue to the noise. After a little while he turned away and seating himself on his iron stool cried, all, all has then vanished. I did think George would not have deserted his friend without some exertion for his rescue. Nor will he, exclaimed a voice from the exterior of the window. Harry started, looked anxiously, and perceiving a ndte on the floor, hastily tore it open—closing the billet and clasping his hands, while his up-turned eyes sought Heaven, bless thee Mary, bless thee. Oh, what must thou not>have endured for me, he cried in a transport of joy, and affection gleaming from his eyes. God in Heaven accept my thanks for thus extending thy mercy to one who has done naught to 'deserve so great a boon, and Mary, bless thy sweet blue eyes, thou art still so true. Oh, Mary, little did I know the value and strength of woman's love till now. Men cannot appreciate it, and less deserve its supporting power. There came a clang at this instant lesounding along the vault, causing Harry to resume his seat in silence ; soon the huge door of his cell opens and there enters three men. One of the three is a son of the sea you can plainly discern by his gait, the other stran ger I knfew not a*s yet, the third Governor of the prison. Come, Heloit, show me this bold mutineer of which you spoke, said the first person to the Gover nor. The moment a sound passed the stranger's lips, Harry turned quickly around and was has tening forward, whei recalling himself he calmly said, I am the reputed one. A word, if you please, and walking forward he placed his hand on Harry's shoulder and said in a loud bold voice, dost know the- crime is death ? (then adding in a tone only to be heard by Harry.) not if 1 can save you. Rash man thus to throw thyself into death so young!—(then as before,) I will place thee near the one you love. Sir! ex claimed Harry, assuming the tone of an insulted person, I am not accountable to you for my rash deeds—(then in a lower tone,) I thank thee, noble generous George for thy design. When or how will it be accomplished. George answered, young man, as a stranger, though a countryman, I would willingly serve you all in my power, but the Gov ernor thinks death is the only fit thing for a rascal like you ! He added in a lower voice, I think dif ferent ; when 1 go out I will manage to slip a file in the back of an old Bible which I will leave for you. We will be waiting outside with a boat and render you all the assistance in our power—twelve o'clock, remember. Governor, said George, I shall leave this poor man a Bible as he earnestly desires one. God bless you, Harry, and may you succeed, so saying he and the others left the cell. Does desperation ever drive a man to deeds that appear impossible for him to accomplish? They do; just so with Harry; hour after hour behold him at his task—all but the last bar was ready to fall from their*places at a touch, when the clock struck eleven. One hour more and lam free ! he cried, and resumed his labor. Oh how slowly the last bar seemed to cut, —time dragged on apace,— half-past Bounded, he was not more than half done —whist! he stops, he listens, aye, they come, I hear the dull heavy stroke of the oar. Now comes : the tug of war if they pass without a challenge the outer tower. All is safe, and he again resumes his work. Steadily he gains, and now ’tis done, aud joyful sound, there is the signal, ’tis answered— one moment—Harry hastens to remove the bars, and the next leaps within the boat and is clasped within the arms of his friend. Away, men, sfovr and steady, till we pass the outer post, then, like l.ghtmng, speed ye to the ship. Come, reader, now thou hast accompanied me through scenes fit to tire any one. I earnestly thank thee for the kindness; yet one more spot we must visit together ere we part, perhaps never more to meet. If there is one spot on earth more fit for love, pu rity and truth to dwell, ’tis where a brook mean ders along its rocky bed, dancing, gurgling and sparkling in all its chrystal beauty in the morning sun. The banks on each side were covered with a soft green that could well vie with velvet, with here and there its emerald hue, the pure face of the morning lily raised its head m humble meekness. On the bank of this little stream, en tirely surrounded with rare exotics and yet more brilliant flowers of our own clime, stood a cottage, the picture of neatness; the fresh morning feath ered songsters filled the air with joyful melodies— hark, what sound is that comes borne along the morning. ’Tis what should ever attend us, and be a daily duty; ’tip three sweet voices laden with loye and their morning thanks to the author of all our blessings. Reader, need I sage who these three are ? :J 1 • WIFE AND HOME FOR THE LADIES. Lei rakes extol a roving life, Of freedom prate, and all that; Of noisy brats, a scolding wile, And doctor’s bills, and all that.

We take the following extracts relative to the emigration to this western El Dorado from the lowa Reporter. We will venture to say that, in less than twelve months, there will be exhibited in California and the routes leading to it, more real distress than will be found in the same amount of population in any civilized country on the globe: “ The strength of the tide of emigration overland even upon this Northern Tributary road, leading to the most inconsiderable route, is truly appalling. Last year at this time about a half-dozen teams had crossed the lowa at this point; after that about six hundred teams crossed. Now about four hundred teams have passed through this city, averaging a bout three men and four horses each, but few going with oxen. They are now coming in at the rate of forty or fifty teams per day, and we are; assured that it is not yet full tide with the emigration.— Although the average of men to each team is a little greater than last year, the amount of provis ions they carry is considerably less. From a month to a month and a half must elapse before working stock can even subsist on grass; and yet swarms of emigrants are rushing towards the frontiers, where supplies must necessarily be very limited,” “This gold fanaticism is catching, but panic is equally so. If the emigrants do not become panic struck when they are all huddled together on the frontier, their faith must be peculiarly blinding to their judgements. Already we discover symptoms of a return to sober reason among many of them, but few, as yet, have been willing to turn their backs upon the glittering prospect of affluence," and most of them, in our opinion, will see the largest specimen ever exhibited since the Crusades to Pal estine. “The mania is not confined to this latitude. All over the Western States the population are emigra* ting to California en masse , we were going to say, leaving wives and families/which, if not in a desti tute condition, are more than likely to become so, if success does not attend their more adventurous than wise protectors. Quere—how far has a man a right, if at all, to subject his family to probable penury or charity, for the merest chance of raising them to opulence!” “No tou dos’t Judos Scene in a Court ol Justice—Boy, witness in case ol assault on Mr. Brown.
