OR, THE BIRTH OF CRIME. He was scarce past his childhood, and yet, at a glance, I perceived that he' had commenced life's warfare for himself; that necessity had, with a stern unbending brow, pointed out to him the way he was to take, and taught him, young as he was. that his fate must be to battle for himself on the path of life. His very humble and tattered dress, the sorrowful expression'which had settled on his pal lid yet interesting features, told their own story, and I involuntarily sighed while observing him.— “ Want alone,” I mentally exclaimed, “ has hitherto been his companion; light hearts, gambling play mates of his own years, exuberance of the young spirit, which gives buoyancy to the foot, throws sunshine on the heart, and ’neath whose spell r al! things seem beautiful—he, poor boy! has never known. He knows naught of the green fields and flowers, of murmuring brooks and leafy trees, amidst whose*branches sweet music dwells; in some pent-up, crowded alley is his home, and his .young mind hath been awoke in confines close, amid the scenes of toil and misery.” The gentle and dejected, expression of his coun tenance first attracted m)J attention, and, unobser ved by h im, I watched his- movements as he slowly advanced down the crowded street toward the spot where I stood. Occasionally fie* paused, and after looking up and down the busy thoroughfare, appa-. •rently waiting or looking for some expected object to'come in sight, he resumed his saunter, keeping close to the wall, so as to avoid intercepting the way of members who were hurrying past him. The more I saw of the' boy, the more was my interest in him increased, and my desire to know what ob ject had brought him thither. So young, could his design be criminal? had he been initiated jnto the craft of pocket picking? did he thus linger amidst the bustle of the crowded pathway to mark where be could successfully seize lhe spoil? I looked at him more earnestly as he approached me still nearer, and I felt that in the bare suspicion I had done him air injustice. While I was thus speculating on his character, he paused within a few paces of me, and gazed earnestly down the street, where something ap peared to be exciting his attention. Following the direction of his earnest look-1 perceived at a little distance a gentleman on horseback slowly advan- ] cing, while looking inquiringly at the house he was passing, as though in search of one. of them'in particular. He had arrived within a few yards of 1 the place where I stood, when he halted, anil dis mounted : and in an instant the boy I have spoken of was at his side, and touching the ragged apology for a cap which he wore, evidently tendered his services to hold the horse. The horseman cast a hasty glance at the little fellow, and was apparent-» ly about to resign the reins intp bis hands when the door of the house before which he was standing opened, and a servant advanced to address him. I indistinctly caught the words “ from home ” and “to-morrow,” when the functionary retired to the house; the horseman remounted and cantered down the street, leaving the boy* disappointedly and wistfully gazing afterhim. . ' Yes, I saw the gleam which nad irradiated the little fellow’s face vanish; and fancied I heard a sigh, which his young breast heaved forth as he turned away dejectedly from the spot. Thus un successful, I saw him next, from some of the pass ers by, ask charity; but so timidly, that 1 saw he feared the repulse of harsh words, which, as I watched him, in some instances met his solicita tions; while others passed him without notice! Ap parently very tired, he now seated himself on a door step, still looking eagerly about him, as though anxious for another opportunity to,present itself, when he might with success, offer his services' — While he was thus employed, an open carriage came rattling up the street, and pulling up, a lady alighted at the house immediately opposite where the young street wanderer sat. I watched the play of his features as his g&ze rested upon two little fellows of apparently his own age who were in the carriage, and who, in spite "of an elderly looking nurse’s efforts to restrain them, were gamboling with each other rather boisterously. In the true spirit of boyish glee and mischief, they were en : deavoring with parasols to push off the hat of the footman; who, seemingly, as much amused as . themselves, while standing by the carriage awaiting ' the lady’s return, was giving them opportunities to accomplish their object Yes, right joyous were they; and with their costly dresses,-rosy cheeks, and.bright eyes, presented a striking contrast to the little fePow, who, in rags and wretchedness from the door step was earnestly'observing them. I would have given much to have known bis . -thoughts in those moments; to have read like the pages of a book, the feelings of his heart, while watching them in their gambols. There was no envy in the expression of his countenance, but, by the fixedness of his gaze, I judged- that the sight of the carriage and its young occupants at that jtinc ture, had given birth to a train of thoughts and ideas as as they were, perhaps, saddening.—- Did he think that fate had dealt hardly with jiira}! Did he in hie cogititions become bewildered in a labyrinth of thought, in endeavoring to account for the why of their being so situated . or did fancy in his young brain raise some strange speculation on the world and the'designs ot nim who. made-itl L After a short time Had elapsed, the door of the house opened, and the lady came forth ; she entered the carriage, the footman mounted behind, away they rattled down the street, and were soon but of sight I turned to look at the boy; he seemed to have fallen into a reverie, sitting motionless, while his. gaze rested on a part of the street where the carriage had disappeared. . When I again. observed him, he had left his seat, and was rapidly crossing the street, to meet a female, who, attired somewhat above the common garb, was advancing on the opposite side, and bear ing in her arms a rather bulky parcel, which she appeared inconvenienly to carry. As 1 had seen ; him salute the horseman, the street wanderer, in addressing her, touch bis cap, and evidently ten. dered his services to carry, the parcel. The woman paused a mbment to look at the applicant, when, either deeming him too diminutive for the burden; or actuated by a spirijt of economy, with some brief but decisive remark she turned from him and resumed her walk. At the same moment a boor of a porter, rather than ' diverge, from his path, knocked roughly against the buy, who was stand ing on the pavement, and sent him staggering against the wall, continuing his. heavy tread on ward, without as much as turning his head to set whether or not the little fellow had fallen. • Thus twice had I seen the ciip-held to his lipe and dashed away; twice had I seen him strong ir hope, and twice in disappointment deep. Where now, boy, is thy energy ? where thy spirit, re* olution? Methinks thou needest them now. Alas thou art but.a child ; and a? thy age v the greer 6eld*\ where the birds are blithely singiftg. or jocund .playground with your kindred 1 spirits, where spqrl hath its and its perseverancf too, were more fitting places to bring forlh suclf exalted qualities than the crowded street—where want perhaps, spurs theh to attempt; where fohun ; frowns upon thee, and hope seems to whisper only to deceive! courage thou hast no more. . Energy, it has left thee, else wouldst thou not so dejectedly hang thy head, and creep qlong the street thong} thou wert upon forbidden ground, or trespassing in sharing the light of the' fading day and tie breath of heaven with those who are heedless y hurrying past thee. Aft ’ his last unsuccessful application, I next ,/ter _...«c«.essjui appii. i negt saw the dispirited-little fellow turn down a sma 1, little frequented street, and with the. intention )f. meeting and speaking to him, I, made a short dttoi r, soon gaining the opposite end of the street which I had seen him enter. The buildings consisted en tirely of warehouses, which were all closed, for the. night ;i and knowing that he could scarcely haye entered one ot them, I was not a little surprised to find the’street apparently deserted. Advancingja few paceß, however, the mystery was soon solved. Nestling in the corner of a warehouse doorway, with his head resting’ on hit little hand, my eyes fell upon the wanderer I was in search 01. Ab sorbed in his grief, I approached him unseen, in heard. Ah! need l say that he was weeping bitterly? Reader, the t boy had a home; I saw it; a cell ir whose bare walls and brick, uncovered floor te spoke it the abode -of poverty and misery. He was not an orphan; for on a heap of rags, whi :h served her fora bed, I saw an emaciated figure which he called his mother ; a brother and a sist ;r, too, were there, younger than guide, and in their tattered, dirty garments, scarcely distinguish able from the bed of rags on which they w*re huddled beside the dying woman. He was not in orphan; the young street wanderer had a father.— Him, too, Isaw; a rude, blear eyed drunkard, whose countenance was fearful to look upon;; or there it might be seen that the worst passions of our common nature had with him obtained a p*r ifous ascendency—a brute, whose intellect, perhrps never bright, had become more brutal under Ihe influence o'Hthe fire spirit, to which he bore con spicuous maiks of being a grovelling soul and body slave. To me he appeared like the demon Ruin amidst the wreck around. On him, now tljiat the wife could work no more, were they depen dent. Need I say that there were days when they scarce tasted food, when the young wanderer had been unsuccessful in the streets? and when hung y, tired, and dejected, he gave current to his grief, at when I found him in the midst of his heart brerk ing sorrow? Yes, my first surmise was painfully correct. Te had, Indeed, commenced life's warfare for himse f; young as he was. it was his fate to battle his way on the path of life, and not' a soul to advise a!nd guard against the demon Crime, whose favorite haunts are the footsteps of .the ignorant.' and neei-ly. Reader, how many of the victims of crime who fill our prisons, were their histories known, wm Id prove to have commenced life like this-boy ! Not always then, let us unpitying behold the criminal, who, in his early manhood, or. the prime ot life is banished from his country, or suffers the dread penalty of death, without reflecting how much those who brought him into the world were cc n cemed in so melancholy an issue—‘■without refut ing that, like the little fellow of whom theso pages tell, he may . have a .father little better than the brute ot the field, and in his childish years las been turned out to “get bread—a wanderer in the streets. Mrs. Partington on Matrimony, “ I like to ’tend wedding,,* said Mrs. Parting! )n, as she came badk from one in church, and hmg her shawl up arid replaced the black bonnet in he long preserved band-box: “ I like to see yot ng people come together with the promise tolcve, cherish and nourish each other. But it is a sole nn thing this matrimony—a very solemn thing when the minister comes into the chancery with his * ur plus on, and goes'through the ceremony of making them “man and wile.” It ought to be husbmd and wile, for it is’nt every husband that turns out to be a man. I declare I shall never forget ho v I felt when Paul put the nuptial ring on my finger and said “ with my goods I thee endow.” He i sed to keep a dry goods store then, and I thought he was going to give me all that there was in it} I was young and simpje and did’nt know till after wards that it meant one calico gown a yeai. It is a lively sight to see young people “ plighting their trough,” as the song says, and coming up':o con sume their vdws.” She bustled about and got tea ready, but abstractedly she put on the broken tea pot that had lain away unused since Paul was alive, and the tea cups, mended' with puity and dark with age, as if the idea had conjured up the ghost of past enjoyment to dwell for a moment in the home of her past widowhood. A young lady, who expected to be married, on Thanksgiving right, wept copiously at her remarks, but kept he lining the veil that was to adorn her bridaUhip. and I kept pulling bristles out of the hearth brush in silence. Gbn. Scott and ijis probable Platform.— The movement commenced by Mr. Clayton, in Delaware, last fall, and followed up by Governor Seward and his school of New York politician* bids fair to make Gen. Scott the especial Candida' for 1852, of the free soil and most of the oijtsic tactions of the North. The late successes ol S' wafld in this State, over the combined forces < Tammany Hall, Castle Garden and the governmei at Washington, may also lead to the. blending < the administration in support of Gen. Scott as tt “ higher'law ” candidate. As he now stands bpfoi the country, he is the man of all men, for rallying under a common standard, all the fragments, of afl shades, and stripes, ol anti?slavery and native Americanism in the North. His letter. Irom West Point in 1849, is explicitly in favor of the annex ation of Canada, and all the fugitive slaves there— bis letter to the Hon. W. S. Archer, of Virginija, on native Americanism, in 1844, is especially adapted to the natives} while his splendid victories in Mex ico will sweep the rank and file of the Whig party as a fire sweeps the dry grass of the prairies., Such a candidate, a$ the whig nominee, and With the support of all the outside fragments of both the old parties, must be irresistable in the North. But something more, and a good deal less will bs re quired, if anything is expected of. the South. At present, however, the fortunes of Mr. Fillmon anr* of Gen. Scott appear to be held between the fr finger-and thumb of JV. H. Seward. This is vei .singular and very ominous.

A Dying Wife to Iter Husband, The following most touching fragment of a Let ter from a dying Wife io her. Husband was foumTby him, some months after her death, between the leaves of a Teligious volume, which she was very fond of perusing. The letter, which was literally dim with tear marks, was written long beforp the husband was aware that the grasp of a fatal dis. ease had fastened upon the lovely form ot hisjwife, who died at the'early age of nineteen: « When this shall reach your eye, dear G———, some day when'your are turning over the relics of the past, I shall.have passed away forever, and the! ‘old white stone will be keeping its lonely watch' over the lips you have so often pressed, and the sod 1 will be growing green that shall hide forever from your sight the dust of one who has so often nestled; close to your wjarm heart. For many long and 1 sleepless nights, when all my thoughts were at rest, i have wrestled with the consciousness of ap proaching death, until at last it has forced itself upon my mind; and although to you and to others it might now seem but the nervous imaginations of a girl, yet dear G— it is so! Many weary hours have I passed in the endeavor to reconcile myself to leaving _you, whom I love so well, and this bright world of sunshine and beauty, and hard, indeed, it is to struggle on silently and alone, with the sure conviction that I am about to leave all for ever and go down alone into the dark valley! ‘But I know in whom I have trusted,’ and leaning upon- His arm,‘l fear no evil.’ Don t blame me for keeping eve n all this from you. How could I subject you, of all others, to such sorrow as I feel at. parting when time will so soon make it apparent to you 1 I could have' wished to live, if only to be at your side when shall come, and pil lowing your head upon my breast, wipe the death damps from your brow, and usher your departing spirit into its Maker’s presence, embalmed in wo man’s holiest prayer. But it is not to be so—and I submit. • Yours is the privilege of watching, through long and dreary nights, for the spirit’s final flight, and of transferring my sinking head from your breast to my Saviour’s bosom! And you shall share my last thought; the last faint pressure of the hand, and the last feeble kiss shall be yours; and even when flesh and heart shall have failed me, my eye ■shall rest on yours until glazed by death—and our spirits shall hold ond last fond communion, until i gently fading from my view—the last of earth— you shall mingle with the first bright glimpses of the unfading glories of that better world, where partings are unknown. Well do I know the spot, dear G ■ , where you will lay me; oflen have we stood by the place, and as we watched the mel low sunset as it glanced in quivering flashes through the leaves and burnished the grassy mounds around us with stripes of burnished gold, each perhaps nas thought that one of us would come alone : and whichever it might be, your name would be on the stoae. But you loved the spot; and I know you 11 love me none the less when you see the same quiet sundight linger and. play among the grass that grows over your Mary’s grave. I know you’ll go often alone there, when I am laid there, and my spirit will be with you then, and whisper among the waving branches, l I am not lost but gone before V Horrible Tragedy. The New Albany, Indiana, Ledger , gives the fol lowing account of a horrible affair which occurred at Elizabeth, in Harrison county. -The particulars are derived from a gentleman who. conversed with Dr. Austen, ‘foreman of the coroner’s jury who sat on the case. The original statement was that the house occupied by Hannegan had been destroyed by fire, and twelve persons had perished in the flames: “The house to which Hannegan had moved was built of logs, one part ot which was old and the other new, having been ie.cently built of green logs. It was all under one roof, however, with a passage between the two apartments. Each room had a door and two windows, and J when the fire was first discovered, only one window in the old part .of the house was open. The house was about one' mile ' Jrom Elizabeth. Shortly alter nine o’clock at night, 1 a gentleman started from Elizabeth for his residence, which is not a great distance from that of Hanne 15 gan. When he got on the top of a hill he saw a fire raging in the direction of his premises, and sup posing it was his own house burning, he rode down 5 with all speed, when he discovered the true source of the flames. He rode up to the bouse, looked into the open windofr, and saw the dead bodies already partly consumed. He rode back to Elizabeth at full speed, rousing all the neighbors by the way, and in a short time a large number of persons were on their way to the scene of the horrible disaster. By the time they arrived there the roof had fallen ■in and the bodies were mostly consumed. An arm of one, a leg of another, a head of a third, a part of the body of„a fourth, was all that could be found. In one corner of the old part of the house Mrs. Hannegan and two of her children lay, in another corner Hannegan and one child, and in another two more children. .In the part ol the house recently built, another man and his wife lay in one corner, and in another a man by himself, making ten per sons instead of twelve. Our informant did not know the names of these. Suspicion of having been connected with this dreadlul affair, rests on a man living in tie neigh borhood, who had a quairel with Hannegan, and who had been heard to say that he, H., should never become a neighbor of his. When questioned as to what he knew about the accident, he gave evasive answers and appeared much confused. When asked as to what time he passed Hannegan’s house on his way home, he stated that it was about dark, but his wife, who was questioned separately, said he did not reach home till about half past nine' o'clock, corresponding with the time of the fire. A mass of burnt animal matter being found outside the cabin, he-said at first it was Hannegan's dog, which had been tied there, but some one remarking that the bones were not those of a dog, he said it was a bag of meat which he had seen Hannegan throw there in the afternoon. It is certainly most extraordinary that of Unper sons, all should *be so sound asleep as not to be aroused by the noise consequent upon the burning of the house, or to be so drunk as to be incapable of making their escape from a tenement on the ground floor. Some of the Citizens of Elizabeth are of opinion that, this man drugged the liquor and then set the building on fire at different points.—- These suspicions, however, may be all unjust, and for the honor of human nature we hope they may. This is one of the most horrible catastrophes that has ever come to our knowlege, and should serve as a terrible warning to those who are addict ed to the free use of the bottle. The Case of Simms. The recent case of Thomas Simms, alias Grimes the fugitive slave, at Boston, hae excited un unusual degree of interest, which, however, is now rapidly dying away, since he has been rernanded to the cus. ide tody of his master. The following notice of him, 3e* f r om the. Savannah Republican of the Bth inst., may not prove uninteresting in connexion with the ;nt r rt f case: " ie The boy Tom Grimes, belonging to Jai. Potter, re Esq., whose escape irom this city and capture in ig Boston we noticed yesterday, is the son of Minds, a colored woman now living here. Minda wa* given to the late Mrs. Potter by her grandmother; and, in order to gratify this servant, Mr. Potter consented to give to her children their time, in order to enable them to learn trades, so that they might reside near their mother and purchase their freedom, the prjce of which was fixed at a very low figure. A brother of Tom was in the same situation as himself, and ran away to Ohio, but was caught in Tennessee, and brought back, and is now at regular work in town. Tom learned his trade ot Mr. Short, master builder, in this city, and could get from Mr.. Short, or*any one else, $.1,50 a day for every day that he chose to work. During the two years past, he has paid his master only one month’s wages, ($10,) and this was done by the in* ire tercession and entreaty of his own mother. Hence, ry it appears that the honest acquisition of his free e« dom was a matter of easy accomplishment—the work, say, ef two or three years. Tragedy In Greene County, Hiss. Elofzvxxt o» a Florida Ladt with a Mia -BissirpiAir—Arrest of Hiuzl? ahd Paramour —Murder or toe Rescuer, &c. —ln the Paulding, Miss., of the.7th inst, .we find, under the above heading. the following account of a dreadful tragedy recently enacted in Greene count}', Miss.: • We regret that we have not the-full particulars of the transaction we are about to relate, arid in which a desperate villain, through the foolish te merity of his captor—a temerity cost him his life—has eluded the pursuit of justice. A'citizen of Hancock county, in this State— whose name we have not learned—residing tempo rarily, we presume, in Florida, ;became acquainted with the wife of a planter. The intimacy ripened into a guilty and reciprocal paSsion. The disgraced and faithless wife consented to an elopement. Not content with the ineffaceable wrong already inflict ed upon her husband, by her liason with a disrepu table stranger, she connived with that stranger to rob him oi his property. Their plans were suc cessfully carried out. With a valuable negro boy, a handsome travelling carriage, a span of valuabU horses and a costly double barrel gun, they fled the dwelling, whose proprietor they had wronged be yorid atonement, and whose precincts they had pol luted. ° When the husband had ascertained fullythat his trusted wife had become the abandoned concubine of another, and that she had not only deserted him for the unhallowed embraces of her lover, but had also robbed him, he made energetic preparations for their pursuit and capture. The blow was too severe, the shock too crushing, for him to under take the pursuit in person. He was utteily un manned. That which he had believed perfect and beautiful, by a sudden, an appalling moral transmu tation, had become loathsome and deformed; the peerless flower was an offensive poison weed. To a friend named Smith, was delegated the task of following and capturing the fugitives, and he un dertook it with alacrity. Mr. Smith traced them to Green county, where he learned that the robber and seducer was making rapidly for the residence of his mother, in Hancock. He secured the willing assistance of Messrs. Edward Davis and Philip James; and the three armed with guns, made a de scent upon the ruffian, at his mother’s residence, an hour before clay, on Thursday, the 22d ult. They had no sooner opened the door of the room in which be lay, than he leaped from the bed, like a tiger start leJ in his lair, and commenced fighting desperately. He i 6 a man of Herculean strength; and so abrupt* was his onset, that he nearly effected an escape; but his captors rallied, and with a united effort hurled him back into the room. He then rushed upon Mr. Davis, and, in attempting to possess himself of that gentleman’s gun, wrenched the barrel from the stock! Mr. James then quickly, advanced, and with one one well-aimed blow ol his fire-lock, felled the villain to the floor. He was at once secured, and the property recovered. He denied having ta ken the money. His partnerjn guilt declined re turning, and Mr. Smith did ?iot attempt to force her. The party returned to Green with their pris oner. There Smith acted with a strange fatuity that cost him his life. Messrs. Davis and James volunteered to return with him, but he declined their services. The prisoner was then placed in a carriage, ironed only on the legs, and Mr. Smith placed himself beside him. The negro followed on horseback, and was incautiously permitted to retain one of those dangerous knives denominated “Ar kansas tooth-picks.” They travelled but two miles, when the negro must have assailed Smith, in con cert with the prisoner, on the road, gashed and mutilated with knife cuts, in a most shocking man ner. ,The carriage and least valuable horse were left by the murderers, but they robbed the victim of his money and other portable valuables. We trust that a prompt and spirited effort has been made by the citizens of Green to re-lake Jhe seducer, thief and murderer, so that a monster black with triple crime- and his sable accessary may not go “ unwhipt of justice.” We learn from Mr Knox, of this place, that the name of the murderer is Hardy. It was the opin ion of Dr. Adams that Mr. Smith was killed with a knife, while sitting in the carriage, by some one riding behind him. This opinion clearly implicates the slave found in Hardy’s possession. Maxi caw Claimastb. —The National Intelli gencer contradicts a statement, published in a New York paper, that the Secretary ot the Treasury had appointed a house in Washington to pay the claim ants under the treaty with Mexico the amount which would be respectively awarded to them,by the Board of Commissioners now sitting in Wash ington.
