.Aye ! go and weep, thou wretched roan !
'There is no misery like to thine!
Find if thou can'st a bosom, on which
To pour thy tears or sorrow.
Thou haat made shipwreck of all hope!
The day-star of thy life has faded,
And storm-clouds linger where its light once shone.
There was a time when thou wa-t happy,
Thy days and nights . were spent in meditation
Deep, on sacred things.
The sun rose in the morn, to cheer
Thy footsteps toward thy daily toil:
The moon's pale rays, as through the curtains
Of thy window, they stole their way,
Each had for thee a promise of happy
Days and years to conic.
The shadows of the dead and lovely,
Hung in thy nightly visions; and thou
Could'st almost fancy, that beyond
The stars that lighted up their way to earth,
Thou cpuld>st see their home,—their angel home,
Radiant with the smiles of God.
Those lovely shadows Will return no more !
Their passport from the realms of bliss to thee,
Has been withdrawn. Thou wilt never dream
Of them again ; but when thou'rt pillowed
On thy restless bed, in their place come
Hideous phantoms, which the imagination
Conjures up from realms of night,
•
• To tell thee thou art lust.
And when thou wak'st in fear and'trembling,
The cold, big drops of sweat stand ou thee, •
And fearful shadows flit before thy hurried vision;
And from the dark recesses of thy chamber,
Heard with the ticking of the clock
That tells thee of the rapid flight of time,
Thou sometimes fanciest an unearthly voice
Falls on thy startled ear, murmuring . to thee,
While the pulsations of thy heart do quicken
At the sound ; despair I despair ! despair I
Where now oh! wretched man, are all the promises
Of earlier years 7 Into what dark and unknown
Waste have fled, the bright hopes to which thy
Soul clung in the day of trial 7
Thou had , st a mother once, who taught
Thy infant lips to pray; who in thv tender,
Years, ere thou had , st known aught of sin or sor
row,
Leaned thy yPung head upon her bosom, and as
The tear drops trickled from her eyes, spoke' to
thee
Of that bright world, where sorrows come hot
And no tears are shed. Dosq thou remember
With what fond solicitude she watched
Thy growing , years, now earnestly she strove
To win thy wayward mind, io seek the prideless
Jewel that outlives the storms of earth;
And sparkles in . the diadem ol heaven 7
How even with her dying breath she prayed
For thee, and as the shadows of the grave
Grew thick around her, and she was conscious
Thai her care fur thee must cease, committed
Thee to Him, who is the orphan's friend 7
That mother now has left thee; years ago
A ministering angel came, and bore her
To the skies. The tears that fell upon her grave
Have long since dried. The bursts of grief
That wrung thy heart, as thou did'st witness
The coffin that contained her lifeless form,
Laid in the bosom of the quiet earth,
Have passed away. But is there not a place
On memory's tablet, that still may claim
The sad remembrance of her tears and prayers 7
Thou had'st a sister ton 7 Dosq thou remember
When she knelt beside thee at the altar 7
•
Her snowy hand was clasped in thine,
And the sweet words of prayer fell gently
From her lips. That sister is an angel now I
Thy tears in better and in happier days
Have moistened the cold ground, in which
They laid her long ago.
Ere thou had'st Wen the fatal step,
That led thee wandering in the ways of sin,
How often hast thou gone and wept, as evening'
Shadows fell upon her grave, and the pale moon
beams
Shed their light Upon the cold white marble that
Records her name; and on the green sod that
Covers her remains, sat down and held
Communion with her spirit; and when the
Damps of night, had warned thee to retire,
Gone to thy chamber and in secret prayer .
Turned to that better and brighter world
Where friends are never parted and no ties are
broken?
The sweet remembrance of that sister's love,
Will never leave thee. Age may shed its snows
Upon thy temples. Time and communion with
The grosser things of lilu, may palsy all thy better
Feelings; conscience by its intercourse with guilt
May grow seared and blighted, and thou niay'st
Strive to cast away from thee the recollections of
The past; but still that altar and that snowy hand,
Those gentle words of prayer, that quiet graveyard
And that marble stone with its inscription, and
All those fond associations, jomed with her whose
Cold remains there sleep the sleep of death,
Will sometimes come upon thy waking hours,
And move thy heart to bitter tears, unless
Indeed, the lountain of thy tears is dry.
And can'st thou still remember him,. •
Whom Heaven had sent to breakfthee -
The bread of life 7 How in the Sabbath morn,
When birds were singing in their leafy groves,
And all around seemed fair and lovely;
He spoke to thee of that bright world
Of which that holy Sabbath mare was but the
shadow ?
How he charged thee to be faithful to thy trust,
To "bear the cross if thou would's win the
crown 7"
His footsteps once so welcome at thy door,
Are turned away. He comes no more to cheer
Thee with his presence. His nightly prayers,
For thee, when kneeling at the altar,
Have died away in echoes. The tears he shed
When first he knew that thou had , st
Wandered from thy Father's house are all
Dried up. And even he, the last kind friend
To leave thee in thy spiritual exile,
May never come again to counsel and
Encourage. Oh ! how bitter and how sad
Must be to thee, the memory of the past !
The years still come and go; the seasons
Change not in their ceaseless course.
' The bright sun shines as fair and lovely, '
As when in boyhood, thy sinless soul
' Looked up and wondered of its author.
The moon and stars adorn each night
With gems of glory. The boundless. Ocean
'Heaves its restless billows. The rivers find
Their way to the wide waste of waters ;
And Time, inexorable Time, rolls on his
Chariot wheels, to speed the final destiny . .
Of man. '
The tranquil Sabbath morn, with its pure and holy .
Light, dawns on the earth. The door of Heaven's
Sanctuary stands open, and the voice of prayer
Is heard. And there are seen in mournful
Memory. of the night, whrn the Redeemer spread
His sacred board ; the emblems of the broken body,
And the spilt blood, that purchased life,
Eternal life for man. The thithlul gather
At the altar, and still renew their covenant
Of grace. Thy place is vacant there; thy footsteps
Tread no more, the sacred courts; but all alone
In wasting wretchedness, the years and months
'Roll round for thee.
Soon will thy lass dark Sabbath pass away;
.The final scene in threventful life will close:
And then, oh then! when deaths palb shadows
Hang around thee, may thou ae, fallen man !
A subject not beyond the reach of mercy.

The Fortunes of a Young Girl,
A ROMANCE OF REALITY.
We find the following singular story narrated as
a fact by Mr. Jouy, in his 'Hermit in the Provin
ces,' a work professing to de'ail authentic and cu.
rious matters relating to the various provinces of
Frazee. Mr. Jouy states that he received the nar,
rative from the lips of Mons. and Madame Dupre
who were aided in the recital by the actual letters
of the heroine:
In the town of Havre de Grace, 'France, not
many years ago, there lived an aged couple, M. and
Madame Dupre. In themselves, these personages
were worthy and respected; but circumstances of
remarkable and romantic nature connected with
their family, rendered them objects of peculiar in
terest, not only to thsir neighbors and fellow citi
zens, but to all those who visit the town of Havre.
One of the near relatives of this venerable pair, was
destined to a career in life sueh as we shall only
find a parallel to in the pages of Arabian fiction.
Aline Dupre was born at Martinique in the year
1763. Her father possessed one of the best estates
on the island, and spared no pains or expense in ed
ucating his daughter, whose tare qualities, both of
person and mind, well merited he most careful de
velopements. At the age of fourteen, when woman
ly charms are almost matured in that clime, Aline
was the pride of her family, and the admiration of
the upper circles of the colony. In private society,
no one surpassed her vivacity of spirit; in the ball
room, the graces of her person and movements
were unrivalled: and she possessed musical talents
well fitted to enhance and complete the impression
made by her appearance and address. Such was
Aline Dupre, when an untorseen accident gave a
sudden turn to her prospects and fortunes. Exci
ted by oppression, real or imaginary, a numerous
band of negroes made their escape from their mas-
two, and spread the most serious alarm over the
whole island. Profiting by the scantiness of the
military three stationed there at the time, these run
aways committed various outrages, and made
threatening demonstrations at many different points
calling everywhere upon their fellow slaves to joint
their standard. None of the negroes in the employ
of M. Dupre had accede i to the insurgent band ;
but the station of the gentleman, and th high opin
ion entertained of his talents and activity, caused
him to be pitched upon as the leader ot the militia
raised for the suppression of the mutineers. M. Du
pre fulfilled with energy and success the duty en
trusted to,him. The fugitives were scrrounded and
captured, but only by :desperate struggle in which
M. Dupre received a mortal injury. He survived
it long enough to permit him to receive from France
the cross of St. Louis, which the Governor of the
colony, the Marquis de Bouville, had requested for
him. Soon after receivint , this reward, M. Dupre
died, recommending with his last breath his daugh
ter Aline, and his only son to the care of the Gov
ernor.
The Marquis de Bouvihe did not neglect the
charge committed to him. It had been the purpose
of the late M. Dupre to return to France, where he
had a small patrimonial property, and where va
rious members of his family were settled. This in
tention had been Tartly formed with the view of
completing the education of Alive and her brother,
and in the hope seeing them well established there
in lite. The Governor of Martinque deter fouled to
fulfil the wishes of the father in this respect. Find-
ing the young Dupre, who was a year or two old
er than Aline, to have an inclination to a military
life, the marquis arranged that he should go to
France, and enter the regiment .of Bouillon, while
the sister was to be placed for a time in the semi
nary of St. Cyr, the highest institution then exist
ing for persons of her sex. Alms and her br . other
accordingly embarked on a vessel bound for France
That vessel, however, never reached its destination.
Its fate remained unknown for seven, years at the
end of which time a letter, containing disclosures
concerning it, was received by one of the friends of
the Dupre family residing in France. This indi
vidual was a yoling lady who had spent some years
of her youth in Martinique, and had been the play
mate and dear friend of the young Aline. The let
ter alluded to was delivered by the ambassador of
a great power, and it was from his sovereign—hie
crowned queen. That queen was Alpine Dupre!
Tke strange vicissitudes which placed Aline in this
position were detailed in the communication to her
friend, nearly as follows:
The vessel which bore the brother and sister, in
tended to land on theWesterti coast of France,and
reached the Straits of Gibraltar in safety. Soon of
however, when the passengers, attracted
by the beauty of evening in that latitude, had as
sembled in a group on deck, an old negress in at
tendance on -Aline, pointed out a dark spot in the
sea at a distance. The captain was present at the
moment, and was observed to grow pale as he turn-
ed his eye on the object pointed out, but he made
no remark, and the passengers retired for the night
In the morning
they found nothing but bustle and
alarm on board. The vessel was pursued by a
swift-sailing Algerine corsair, of a size which ren
dered it almost hopeless for a petty merchant-man
to make any resistance. Nevertheless, the erew
took their arms, resolved to sell their liberty dearly
The pirates were not long ir. coming up and hoard
ing, end, as, might be expected, soon overpowered
all opposition.
Aline had kept close beside her brother, deter
mined to perish with him it he fell, and when the
capture took place, she was bound with him to the
same chain. This association greatly lightened her
sufferings on the occasion, but it did not last long.
When the corsair reached the Dort of Algiers, an
order was issued for the conveyance of all the male
prisoners ashore, and the retention of the females.
The language spoken around her was unintelligible
to Aline, but she soon became sensible of the in
tended separation. Her agony was dreadful at the
moment, the past mishap seemed to her insignifi
cant in comparison with this crowning ill. She fell
on her knees before the barbarians' of the vessel,
and used every entreaty, by words and gestures,
which might have a chance of moving them, to
permit her to accompany her brother. Her tears
and imploring looks fully expressed the meaning
which her language could not convey, but they
were totally disregarded, and her brother WRS'car
ried off with his companions. All hope seemed to
depart with him, and Aline fell down in a swoon.
Her insensibility, at least to a partial extent, was
of long continuance, every return of her powers of
reflection serving only to renew her grief, and throw
her back into a state of lethargy, which rendered
her heedless of all around her. Zera, meanwhile,
the old negress, watched over her with incessant
care. When Aline regained something like com
posure, she found herself on board of a different ves
sel, and again upon the open sea. Zera informed
her that she had been purchased by an Armenian
merchant, and was now on the way to Smyrna,
whence, alter taking on board some Circassian and
Georgian captives, Achmet, as the merchant . was
called, intended to proceed to Constantinople. Zera
likewise added, that Achmet seemed to take a strong
interest in her restoration to health. This last piece
of intelligence was anything but pleasing to the
poor captive, and her mind was so heavily oppress
ed with a foreboding dread of the late that seemed
to await her, that she resolved to escape from it it
.at the cost of her life. No other way of effecting
this object was in her power save that of starving
hersilf. For two days she maintained this deter
mination; and was already beginning to leel her
strength diminishing, when some proceedings on
the part of Zera changed altogether the train of her
thoughts. The old negress, like many of her race,
affected the power of reading the cards, or of telling
fortunes, and she artfully led her languid mistress
to express a wish to know what would be her
brother's fate, the subject ever uppermost in her
thoughts. Zera used the opportunity given to her
most dexterously. Consulting the cards, she as
sumed, after a time an aspect of great joy. 'Your
brother shall yet be free and great! The cards de
clare it—and by you--by you, shall bebe saved!'
The suggestion of such a possibility made an in
stantaneous and striking impression upon Aline, and
raised in her mind a new course of action, She re
solved to desist from her abstinence, and preserve
her life, in the hope, that whatever might be her
own fate, she might yet have it in her power to al
leviate the sufferings of her beloved brother.
When the vessel arrived at Smyrna, it chanced
that while Achmet was: getting on board his oth
er captives, he met the French Consul in society,
nd mentioned his having with him a beautiful

slave 01 French descent. The Consul immediately'
requested to see her, and after some difficulty this
eras accomplished. - On seeing Aline, Monsieur L
generously offered to purchase her from the
Armenian, and set her at liberty.
'My brother,' said Aline, 'will you set him too at
liberty?'
'Alas V said the - Consul, 'that is not possible.—
How could he now be found out? The interven
tion of the Sultan alone, I tear could avail to dis
cover his retreat and procure his freedom.'
'The Sultan!' replied Aline; and for a few mo
ments she remained in thought. 'Well; continued
she, at length. I cannot, and will not, since such is
the case, accept of liberty myself.' The Consul
pressed her to alter her resolution, but the generous
girl held firmly by her. purpose. The slight hope
which existed of her finding in Constantinople some
means of liberating the poor captive of Algiers, kept
her fixed in the determination of remaining with
Act met. It seemed to her as if some secret power
urged her onwards to the Turkish capital.'
But, as she sailed thither, doubts and fears took
possession of her mind. Her,whole chance of suc
cess was founded on her personally seeing the Sul
tan. Abdul Hamund, or some great courtier, from
whom she might beg the life and liberty of her
brother; but she remembered. and shuddered to re
member, that she might become the purchased slave
of some rich obscure Turk, and might be shut out
forever from the light of day among strangers.—
With these thoughts in her mind, she proceeded to
the presence of Achmet, and assuming a firm and
bold tone, she said :
'Armenian, your fortune and mine are now in your
hands. It I have observed aright, you do not con
found me with these poor ignorant slaves, who have
bodies and no souls. Such as these subjugate the
eyes, but not the heart. My character is different
from theirs, and so will he my destiny. It will be
a high one, and your fortunes shall rise with it.—
Introduce me to the presence of the Sultan, and de
pend on my eternal gratitude.'
Achmet seemed to be struck by these words, and
the confident tone in which they were tittered. His
manner assumed a resemblance of respect very un
usual between master and slave, and he expressi
his intention to gratity the wishes of Aline, it pos
sible. _ Accordingly, when the vessel entered the
port of Constantinople, and the party were convey
ed to the house of Achmet, lie showed his intentions
by bringing her one of the richest dresses to be
found in the city, this being a preliminary step as
he thought, to the execution of her design. But
Aline declined assuming the garb, and contented
hersdf with one of the most simple kind. To his
surprise, tne Armenian was compelled to admit that
her appearance was more captivating without than
with the rich attire obtained for her.
Though Achmet seemed thus desirous of fulfill
ing her wishes, day alter day passed away without
any approach of that event on which Aline rested
every hope of procuring her brother's liberation.—
At last, however, Achmet announced that it was
impossible for himself to introduce his beautiful
slave to the presence of the Sultan in any way.—
' But do not despond,' said he, 'I have sold you
along with Zara, to Isaac Aga, son of the old chief
of the old guards. He has promissd to place you
in the way of seeing the Sultan.' Aline at fast
thought she was deceived with false promises, hut:
such was not the case. Isaac Aga was faithful' to
his word, and Aline obtained her wish. Slie , v,ias,
brought before the Sultan. It is needless in , lingei'
oil the issue. The skill of Aline in music vi as ex
erted to charm Abdul Hamund, and not in vain It
was not long ere his passion for the accomplished
captive grew so deep and strong, that he made her
his legitimate wile, and she nail also the pleasure
of embracing her brother liberated by the Sultan's
orders from the slave chains of Algiers. Under the
title of Sultana Valide, Aline outlived Abdul ,Hia
mond, to whom she bore the Sultan Mahmoud.—
Mahmoud did not immediately succeed his father,
but lived in seclusion during the intervening reigns
of Selim and Mustapha. The civilized spirit of
Mahmoud may, in part, be traced to the instruc
tions of his mother, the Sultana Valide. She dis
covered the retreat of her relatives in France, mat
as has been said, sent them letters which were ac
companied by magnificent pieserits. M. and Mad
ame Dupre, the aged pair described as residing at
Havre de Grace, were her uncle and aunt, and shared
liberally of her county. The Sultana Valide died
in 1817, at the age of fifty-four.

THE CROWNED SKELETON.—Aix-la-Chapelle in
Germany, derives its name from the tomb of Char •
lemagne. He gave instructions that when he died,
he should he buried in a royal position. not postrate
as slumbering dust, but, seated in the attitude of a
riding monarch. He had the mausoleum erected
over the sepulchre of our Saviour at Jerusalem.—
In a tomb within this chapel he was placed upon a
throne. The Gospels, which I suppose he had oft
en read whilst he was living, he would appear de
termined to study thoroughly after he was 'dead.—
He directed they should be laid on his knees before
him. By his side was his sword. upon his head was
an imperial crown, and a royal' mantle covered his
lifeless shoulders. Thus was his body placed, and
did his body remain, far about 1.80 years. One of
his successors resolved he would see how Charle
magne looked, and what had become of the riches
that adorned his tomb. Nearly a thousand years
alter Christ, the tomb was opened by Emperor Otho.
The skeleton form of the body was found there, dis
solved and dismembered, the various ornaments I
speak of were all there too, but the frame had sunk
into fragments, the bones had fallen disjointed and
asunder, and there remained nothing but the ghast
ly skull wearing its crown still ! and nothing to sig
nify royalty but this vain pageant of death in its
most hideous form 1 The various relics were taken
up, and are now preserved at Vienna, and they have
often since been employed in the coronation of the
Emperors of Germany, in order to signify their
greatness, and their successors to Charlemagne.—

Bar HERYrtv ROsSIA.—In a work, Nor dischen Bil
den, by Edward Osenbrugg,enjust published in Ger
many, there is a curious story illustrative of the
course of Russian justice, which we translate as fol
lows:
-A young. man in the Department at Moscow be
came heir to a large manor. A neighboring pro
prietor took advantage of the young man's inexperi
ence in business to lay claim to a large tract of
torest laud adjoining his property. The heir ap
plied to his uncle, who was at the head of the Ju
diciary of the Department, and before whom the
matter would necessarily come for trial, and hav
ing laid the case helore him, asked his opinion,
whether he should compromise the matter or let it
come to trial. The uncle replied: 'According to your
statement, you must win the case, for your oppon
ent has no sort of title.' I thank you for your opin
ion, uncle, and the same time wish you to pay par
ticular attention to the matter, as I am obliged to
leave immediately for Moscow, to arrange my af
lairs.' The uncle promised, and the nephew went
to Moscow. A tew months passed, and the news
came to Moscow that he had lost his case. This
he considered impossible. He was assured, however
that such was the tact, and that he had lost it by
s bribe of ]OOOO rubles, paid to his uncle.
He took post horsss and went with all speed t o
pay the latter a visit. The uncle received a storm
of abuse and reproach with all calmness, and at

With your expectoration ?' and when he did finally
stop, he proceeded: 'You have heard that you have
lost your case. That is true. You have heard fur
ther, that I have allowed myself to be bribed by
your opponent, with 10,000 rubles; that is also true
Now, see, he way determined at all hazards to win
the case. I learned authentically that this was all
the money he bad the power to raise, but that this
he was willing to spend. Now, it I had allowed
justice to take its course, and you to gain the cause
ue would have taken this money, appealed to' the
Court at Si. Petersburg, and there have conquered.
But, now, take the money, yourself, appeal from
my decision to the Senate, and you will be the vie

nephew to his shrewd and generous uncle.
A SIGHT NOT OFTEN SEEN.—II) .Aarau, a town
of some 6000 to 8000 inhabitants in Switzerland,
the Protestants and Catholics have but one church.
They share it peaceably together. What is more,
considering man's prejudices, they have but one
grave-yard, and their dust mingles together. The
sight of much unexpected liberality did me good.
The church is divided into two parts, a Catholic
and Protestant. They have their religious servi
ces alternate and the never quarrel. Toe same bell
calls both church,the same roof covers both congre-
gations, and I rather guess the same God hears the
prayers of both. I was astonished to find this fact,
for the Aarau people had been described to me as
very intolerant Protestants, and the Catholics there
as much embittered against them, and I made spe
cial inquiry whether, during the ate religious dif
ficulties in Switzerland the joint use of the church
waa not endangered by the prevailing high preju
dices. I was told that it was not. I frankly ex
pressed to the Catholic sexton, who showed us the
church, my gratification at the harmonious action
of the two religious sects. 'Well as to that,' said
he, 'the people of Aarau are neither very zealcius
Catholics nor very active Protestants; they both
might improve in their zeal for their respective
churches. I saw I had a churchman before me.—
I said nothing in reply, but after , we were ok(pof
the church, I could not help saying to my com
panions: :The Aarau people may be poor I rotest
ants and poor Catholics, burshiely' they are good
Christians.'

TAKE ' 3 ARUCULAR NOTICE
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by private and improper indulgencies,
that secret and solitary habits, which ruin both

ERBEN & CO
Weakness of the system, Nervoup Debility and
premature decay generally arises from the destruct
ive habit of youth, that solitary practice so fatal to
the healthful existence of man, and it is the young
who are the most apt to become its Victims from
n ignorance of the dangers to which they subject
themselves. Parents and Guaidiarts are often mis
led with respect to the cause or source of disease
in their sons and wards. Alas! hoiv often do they
ascribe to other causes the wasting of the frame,
Palpitation of the Demi, Dyspepsia, Indigestion,
Derangement of the Nervous System, Cough and
Symptoms of Consumption, also those serious
Mental effects, such as loss of Memory, Depres
sion of Spirits or peculiar fits of Melancholy, when
the truth is they have been caused by indulging
Pernicious but alluring practices, destructive to
both Body and Mind. 'I hue are swept from ex
istence thousands who might have been of use to
their country, a pleasure to their friends, an orna
ment to society.

Oh, how happy nave huicdrqds of. misguided
youths been made, who have been suddenly resto
red to health from the devastations of those terrific
maladies which result from indiscretion. Such
persons, before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
should reflect that a sound mind and body are the
most necessary requisites to promote connubial
happiness. Indeed, without this, the journey thro'
life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect
hourly darkens to the view; the mind becomes
shadowed with despair, and filled with the melan
choly reflection that the happiness of another be
comes blighted with our own. Lot no false delica

JOHNSTON, may religiously confide in his hon
or as a Gentleman, and confidently rely upon hie
skill as a Physician

The many thousands cured at this institution
within the last ten years, and the numerous im
