Her just elements were soothed by the pres

1, HOLKING LESAIVED Bonms.--The broAdest
and most laug,hible- attempt of this kind we
ever heard of, is related by the 11ev. Matthew
Carey, of Judge Dreekenridge, the elder. The.
1 JuOge, it seems had a mortal antipathy to phil.
osophical societies; which was the more re
rnarkable from his being a scientific and well
1 read man. 7 But at length he explained the
mystery by . stating that le had been rejected
by the Amen= Philosophical Society,of which
he was a candidate for membership, m revenge
• for the Democratic 'v_ote be had given for the
Logiilature of Pennsylvania, ag,ainst what was
termed the f Province Money, and resolved to
be re'yenged in return.' He not only wrote sa.'
- tirical work' called' Modern Chivalry, bat he
petaled off upon that body some ridiculous d&.'
cepti6ns. Among , other 'things, ho took his
grandtfather's fan, and having ingeniously twist-1
ed, gummed and painted, and repaired it, sent
fit to the society as the wingof a bat! Matthew
Carey says : 'lt was received with due solem

• " The Tn *it's Appeal.
'ln the year '1836, the inhabitanis living in
a . diStrict bordering ott Reck River, hi the
northern part of the State of Illinois, were
much incensed by the depredations ofa band
of horse thieves who infested_that portion of
the Country. Every exertion had ibeciu made
to discover the men engaged in this nefarious
transaction, but hitherto in tido, and valuable
animals were stolen, and lost to their owners,
in defiance of the utmost vigilance and care.,
During such a state of alfairs,.the citizens
residing in the region of the thieves became
thoroughly excited, and went Wound up ttt such
a pitch of indignation, that a body of men were',
fordied styled Rangers, • whose explicit duty
; was to expunge the district of all suspicious
charaters, and endetwor to put a stop to the
depredations of the horse thieves.
Shortly after this bond commenced opera
tions word was conveyed to the lender. of the
Rangers that, a valuable, horse which bad been i
stolen the night previous, could then be found I
on the premises of a man named Burt, lockedi
up in the stable. Althciugh Burt ha — d' hereto- '
fore been looked tipon as an honest -man and
an upright citizen, yet, the Captain deemed
his duty, to at least exiinitine his feral and learn
the truth or falsity Of the report. •
Accordingly he summoned some half:dozen
of his Rangers to meet him at a spot not far
front Burt's house, and before.morning, set out
for the same place himself. Daylight was but
bardly disCernable. in the east, and the borzy.
ili;ght of coming dawn had not yet 'Penetrated
the bottom, where the suspicioned man resi
ded, as the Rangers, charged with their, fear
ful mission of life or death, silently a'jproadlied
and surrounded the dwelling. Leaving three of
the band to guard the entranch, the . Captain
proceeded with the others to the stable, broke ,
open , the door, and found the missing horse, as
had been reported, safely stalled inside. I
,hot', a lingering doubt_ now remained '4l
Burt s guilt, and with a stern determination to
make such an example of him as would deter
others from, a like transaction, the &urgers re
turned to the house. In the' meantime, Bprt
had arisen, and upon, coming to tho doer, was
seized by those in waiting; and upon ,demand
ing the reason, was informed that the stolen
animal was found in his stable, and that he
was considered &thief: Muttering something.
about he 'knew *'would come to this at last,'
he quietly submitted to whatever his captors
had in store for him. '
A short consultation was held, and it way
resolved to hang the criminal upon a loge elm
tree,. that grew in front of his own home, itbe
int!, deemed that such an act would strike ter
ror and dismay into the . 'ranks tho horse
thieves. • ' - . •
Burt had asked half an hour to prepare for
death; and the sun. had risen in All his golden
majesty e're the fat.al moment arrived which
would launch him into eternity. In vain had

The dreadful' preparations Were completed
—the half hour had expired-and the criminal

issued forth frotn the house, fielding an infant,]
a litho more than a year' old in hei arms.
Rushing forward, she fell on her knees di. '
redly in !pant of.,the Captain, and instantly ,
raising the child, with arms outstretched; to.
wards him, she exclaimed, in tones that would
have pierced a heart'of steel: , >

of his mind,. it was when he indulged the hope I
that, he might again be restored to his coun
try; foraven there, surrounded as he was by
rocks "arid waves, wild dreacr-s of cenquest and !
victory still fitted' before his imagination.—
He did not wish—nay. he even teemed :to be
resigned to his fate. His thoughts' were con
tinually wandering beck to the shores: of his
own sunny France-to the time when Europe's
monnrchs were forced to yield to him in. the ;
, council and on the field, and to the withering
liner when ho was hurled from the throne and
'forcibly taken to the desolate isle which was
to be his heure and his tomb. : - I
If he had !been willing to cast from hint his'
crown'and his glory, and devote his talents to
that greatest of vietories—the comineat of his
own proud ;spirit, half of his misery might
have.been arrested. But the same stern spirit
that was eonspieuoue in the emperor was alike
prominent in the exile, and imbued him to
spurn• crervthing that 'would have alleviated
his eereteliedness. , -Ho had made self his idol

this which - prompted him to soar into cold and

with which ho pursued all his plans, our admi
t ration is excited. , But,' alas! we cannot for
, getthe fortune lost, the lives destroyed, the
hopes blighted,' and the hearts =de desolate
to gratify his ambition. In his hours of lone
liness and solitude; were there no sad Totem
broncos of the miseries he had caused? Or,
had ho learned to think, that nothing could be
wrong which would promote his own aggrart
,
dizement? His unhappy state of mind aggra.
