The ArlitagcolYipsi :-
Twenty Yenta ago was in the employ of
the, well known_houise of V. G. &to., then

ness requiring •theservjees of a large nurnberof
traveling agents; 'arid, in s uc h oripacity, I
•:1 e •
-was engaged.. • • -
The traveling acconthodation • then was
fan different fibm'thoge nevi , inr use, and-it was
often required that I'shoulti' put, up at Some
-out of ,the way , pla_c4and wait for the next
stage coach in whichto continue my jour.
ney. , -
•
The long shadows grew longer ns,the sun
neared its setting, and fOr- want of a -,better
occupation to help !; , pass away,: the time; I
took •up,a . survey of, tkie surrounding scenery.
I was enjoying myself in the' true Ameri
can style, so beautifulp described by English
visiting to this county , with, my chair tipped.
far backward, my .feet higher than my bead,
and my Havanna in .0•111 blast. My memory
has lost in late years, much of its retentive
l• power;- but if I misiakenot.l was engaged
-in the Eastern proclivity of Whistling. ' . Be
that as it may, let the give a description o
the, surrounding objaCti.
The " 'nit) Mile Talvern," as it was, called,
was, a small two-stpry wooden -
wkose* shingled sides and 'roof had grown
gray with age. It Stood in from the street
half hidden among the tall. trees ' And -might
have been over looked but for th e switigFog
sign hanging from-the dead tree that . stiiod
at:the entrance Of the wide path that led to
the house itself. - •
Tbe : wide-clean.street down which I gazed
was lined on tither Side With tall.elmi '
with
with wide-spreading ; branches, which moat
, have been well growl, when
"General Howe witit full five hundred men,•
• Marched up THAT hill and then marched down
agaib.".
.'Directly opposite *vas "The Town Hall,"
an antiquated building, and on the same
.gree . n common stood the village .-Church,
another old-land-irraid, Modernized only by a
set - of - chiming bells that rung ;out the fleei
ing-botirewit h ( s *deot rttueic.
The Church. with - its square low
tower,
standss . there, 4. monument to ' gladden
the. hearts of all who may gaie upon its
tithe-honored walls, for when the news of the
fist 'bloodshed in the war of liberty reached
that quiet village arnopg the bills,'fiirty no
ble 'hearts heat. qulcker," and forty noble
heads howed beneath . the, old church roof
and, received the paa!tOr's blessing, 'ere. they
joined their brothersin the field, from which
but seven returned to tell the virtues orthose
who never came mom to their bumble homes.
They, ad; sleep- beneath its shadow, and
their children's childen wilt not allow even
the hand .of time-to fall harslly upon the no
ble monument—th9ld Church. •a.
Turning from .1.143,. I survey' the several
groups. around me, who,-like myself, aivaited
'the coming stage. One lady, with a large
basket, ceutaioing savertil-live.geese, Wonders . ,
.if there will, be room; for her;—but as the
only convely , six, isntfl find as-many

eye'. - -:twelve miles from-maternal:carer going.

A s.weetchildiati Witco of perhaps • six snm..
mgrs next attracted iny.attention, and after
several trials I sudeeeded in removing her
'fears and inducing her to take a seat beside
me. 'My, segar I sal) was unpleasant to her r
and I threw it . o,ier the railing• into the
garden, where it was instantly appropriated:
-by a hungry drake,l,who.quickly dropped it
with an angry; - Trani; which 'convulsed my

"ringing-1 echoing on the still air. My
attention was direited to - two riders,
.Who
some distaiice-.bebind :their
,party,
and seemed engaged in . eartiest eorversation.
inn face of the - lady was..turned from. me,
-but . the abundance bf dark curls that fell so

however, with 'the face of t,

struck me that I Tad seen that high •fere
head before ; where I could, not recollect ;
before "he had rturn;ed;away frrim the shady

At 'this moment Ate long delayed coach

"No,"iwas the answer; "I have some bu 2

"Above the entrance: was 'hung , an
_in.
seription well in keeping With - the'bower. It
read, "The Gipsy." •
Carious to know more of 'this rrnystericius
bower, I gently parted the that series'
as the entrance and stood before the "Gipsy,"
The slight noise' Caused her to raise, her eyes,
andj hardly 'needed the rich' curls to tell me
that I bad seen-her before. • •
. .
A quick Crimson ovetspreacl her ,
face tis
she saw'a stranger before ber, and I partook
somewhat of her confusion ; but in a sweet
voice she 'asked "Come you to learn tbe
fu
tore, good tor I ,
"No,". was my reply, "I seek not to know
'more than the present Will reveal; or the past
warrant; hnt.should.l.l43,Gipay choose to tell

au attentive-listener.-
Turning to a large parcel of letters that lay=
upon the table, the Gipsy-Seemed intent upqn
finding a particular - one, but failing in her
search she touched a small bell: aed_a little
note fell at thy feet. - •
While her attentibo had," been fixed 'upon
the letters,. I had closely-wateb'ed tbe.tfert
tares, - and I cannot attempt deScription; for
they were 'truly beautiful. A fitter queen
could - not have graced the bower. 'The drirk
eyes and olive complexion might have spoken
a descent from tbe,tice that wander through
the rtnint of Alhambria, in sunny Spain,
where from the bills of Granada-they .issue
forth at early dawn to charm- the tourist,
Who gazes upon the native grace of these chil
dren of the sun, as they dance their own wild
dances, or - chant 'their weired songs,' in a
strange, unknown language.: •
I: stooped to pink • tip &dater that. so
strangely fell befufe the and my hand train',
bled as it touched hers. I had read of lo%e
at first sight; and here I was unmistakably
iti love but.knew notjlow I came there.
I,' need 'not say how brightly my (attire
was .painted as - it . fell from the lipsr.that
Could not utter aught. but pleasaut words*:
but - the piece of g old that crossed her palm"'
was my thank. offering. . -
Bowing low to ,the Uripsy,l turned to with
draw, when another form darkened the door,
and he who had been her attendant during
the 'tide stood beside her. . •
I would not be willing listener at ill times,
but now my warrarfted- the action,
and I overheard elich word.
"Queen of the noble.tace wasibis salute.
don; " throw halo of Wtory around my
years to be-I ain,at your feet." .
Again the bell sounded, and, like my own,
his future promisedhappiness.
"Like you it, Robert Brandon ?" said the
• .. •
gentle vOice. . •
I slowly saunter away, and my brain was
busy with the of "Brandon;" I had
never heard it before, yet r could not be mis
taken—though I must use 'caution in

. . .
Once Morel was among the fait. attendants

q.uaititance which Would lead t - o an intro-
Aluetion to the " Gipsy Queen," forl Rae res
olute in, my determination toleave the
scene until my'more eager curiosity Wassat
isfied. -
The ringing_ laughter of children caused
me to turn my eyes in . the -direction frorn
which the-sound tame; and clustered around
a large table, I saw a dein girls examining
d mammoth doll, which was - soon to fait' a
prize.to whoever had the fortune to win it in
the ".petite" lotterY, to Well understood at
all village fairs.
Dr/wing near the happy groiip, I could
not-resist the invitation extended by the rosy !
faced attendants, so I . became interested in
two chances, and was ilia few
,moments, by
what process I did. not see; declared the own

-hood, destined like4itri to bang heavy on
my hands. '
Not caring for my easily won prize, I gave
it to a child who seemed much disappointed
at having. lost her chance. I fancied, as she
gave the smiNg ." thank you," that the face
bore a strong resemblance to the "Queen"
I bad recently left.' - •
Ai I. was about to leave the scene, disap
pointed at not having learned aught of my
fair friend, 1 heard the ezcla'mation, here
he is, papa!? and. the 'Child, to whoml had
giiien'tho doll, stood neer me, holding the
beed of an elderly man, - who came.forward,
and iu the nacue.of the child kindly thanked
. - .
me. -.
A -few sentences were exchanged and I
learned that"! had the-pleasnre of addreising
General George Y—r, a name w ell known,
and honored by a nation's tears, when a few
years since•the owner ended his last battle—
the battle of life. - • -
Seeing that 4 was a stronger, biitivited
me, should' I remain in the little paradise
over the coming, Sabbath,. to " visit • - the
church neat the tavern, Which invitation I
accepted for various reasons of niy own.
Catching a glints° of a ,well . known' face
asked the. General if lie knew a Mr:g•randon,
who used to reside bete. •
"Yes," was the reply.; "he reuides heiv
now—a gentleman of Wealth," '- • •
"Is be thought I.
,The General's remarks in regard to him
.were blended with admiration, which removed
my &uprise when be iuformed-me that Robert
-Itrandon was soon to wed Lie daughter; and
then, without noticing my confused manner,
he kindly .bade mil good night. .
During the conversation, I bad rightly Sur.-
mised, tbat the "Gipsy Q,ueen" ,was the daugh
ter of General Y—r ; and toy anger knew no
bounds when I reflect upon tho fate in store
for her, should Robert Brandon call her wife.
That Right my bid was' undisturbed,
sitting beside my open window ; I watched

Old Brown a Cousaioa
John D. Pennybocker, mernber'elect of the
Virginia Senate from the Rockingham !ni
tric!, furnishes the Harrisberg Register with
are account of,his experience with OesaWotto
mie Brown in Kansas; which proves the ab—
olition martyr to be a robber in: the lowest,
adceptation of the term,. Mr. Peunybecker'
was United
,States - Surveyor Examinei in
the' Territory, and was with Capt: Pate's
party when it was captured brurtifice at
Black Jack. He says that Brown would not
have Spared his prisoners' lives then, but that
his two eons were' in.prison at I,ecomptou.
The - statement continues -
" While in his bands, I heard Brown's son
boast Of the lensei troy had stolert
souriaad elsewhere. I also saw A party start
out for the purpose of robbing an -.lndiau
trading port (Joseph Bernard's) and saw thew
return loaded with the goods, (soinq (18,000
worth:) Old. Brown exejaimed a. 4 they came
" Well done,
my boys!" Bro-W i n . told me
himself that hie band- was against every man,-
free-State mid pro-slavery, who was - not
ling to join his band, and that lie•woeld
kill one as aeon as the other. nil you Fred
was killed Ossawottomine by Martin -
White, it Wee State- , man, who had refused
to join Brown's company; and was tliereitpon,
robbed and ordered to, leave 'the Territory. •
John Brown was afterwards Jelliippen at
Ossawottomie,- and I believe he then left, tha
Territory: Of his subsequent operations there
I knob nothing. .That he, witkou l t provoca-1,
!Con, inhumanly murdered men In their beds,
I' know. That he committed rairbdrien and
theft of goods I heard from his ai; and his
own mon, and I saw - witiemy own l eyes,' but
that lie ever gave as an excuse that he was
attempting to rein-off slaves while airing" this
"'Kansas work" ljeiver heard firim'any one
else. .There was-not &slave withia'forty miles
of Pieta we ttomie Creek, where die-commit
ted murders, : and' not one - of the murdered
rneo had ever raised an arm against him.
Thus ranch for -the religious - faesilicisin t and
humanity of Brown, " the
boldness, daring and ntiserugulonidess poi flied
bite out AS a fit instrument _for (tarrying islet
the hellish-designs of men too Cowardly-6
execute their own base schemes.
