THE OrYPSIE 9 S STORY.
;'4Companions, brothers and sisters ! yd have
been kind to the tiranded and outcast Gypsy; of
ter imprisonment and exile, ye have received me
to your liosoms. 1 concealed nothing from you ;
the stamp of felon' is burnt upon my brow, and
these limbs bear the marks of ignominious irons.
I expurience a pleasure iu recounting my past do
ring deeds, andoin dwelling on all the miseries I
have endured. •We are now in the neighborhood
of a spot, interesting to me, yet fraught with fear
ful recollections. Ye are strangers, but I ern la
inihar with the wild district; yonder • is Breage
Church; at the foot of that hill, whose granite top
whitens beneath the moon, is tile, mansion of a
man whose soul I know--black, blacker thau my
ownl
idt is twelve years since, that Sir Francis Godol
phin met a violent death;. he was littered in pomp
in yonder church; but ere the funeral took place, I
heard the person, who wraps him in his winding
sheet, say, that a massive ring was on his finger,
and, from seine superstition it was to buried with
him, I was needy, and resolved at every hazard
to make myself master of the ring.--Accordingly,
the very first night alter the funeral, I stole to the
churchyard; I had supplied myself with a crow
bar, and other linpliments necessary to the under
taking.--I remember my feelings well, and how I
concealed myself behind a tomb, waiting till every
peasant had retired to repose, and all was quiet.
The' moon was shining cold and clear, lid she
shines now, but my heart beat tumultuously, and
my veins ran fire.
. 1 . advanced to a side window of the church and
soon effected an entrance. As I crept down the
aisle, I feared the sound of mine own footfalls and
held my breath; the bat that whirled by, and the
banner that flapped in the night wind oa the wall,
startled and appalled. rue; yet I believe if a spec
tre, fleshless and horrible, had really stood in my
path, it would not have deterred me from nay no
Itallowed design.
n I knew the Godolphin vault; with my crow
bar I lifted, and partly forced aside the pondroas
stone; the 'sepulchre yawned beneath, and without
hesihition I descended.—There I unhooded nip
dark lamp, and grouped rmiund the spacious re
pository of the departed; it was cr nstructed in a
peculiar manner, niches opening in the sides for
the reception of the illustrious dead. Coffin after
coffin, I scrutinized, mouldering and bearing the
accumulated dust of ages: some were in'their re
cesses, but others lay on the ground. At length,
one more splendid that its fellows, and glittering
with new ornaments, attracted my attention. I
exerted all misfrength in order to drag it from rte
niche--it moved—it rolled forth—it fell!—Oh! I
seem to hear it now: it crushed another coffin that
was placed near it, and the white bones of a bar
onet, who had been dead three centuries, where
scattered at my feet.
'•A ghastly' silence ensued, disturbed only by
mine own breathings, and the faint hoot of the owl
high up in the old ivyed tower.—At last, summon
ing resolution, I applied my implements to the
costly shell which enclosed the remains of Sir Go
dolphin; it yielded tokny exertions, as I drew hack
the shroud, and held my light over the coffin, a
spectacle presented itself to my view that I shall
never forget. The features were fresh and tran
quil ; thri":black peaked beard imparted a dignity,
not sternness to the face; the brow was smooth,
and the lips placidly closed; it seemed not a picture
of grim death, but of calmest slumber. There I
stood, the sacrilegious man, the dark disturber of
the dead! yet I could have offered violence to an
infant, ere injured that venerable corpse.
n I wall not linger. I took the Massy ring from
his hand and thrust it into my bosom; then as
I watt able, placing all as before. I was preparing
to depart, when suddenly a sound of feet above,
and maturing words.struck mine ear. Hastily I
hooded my lamp, and continued in a state of
wildest alarm," 'Pity I was struck!' said the man
whose voice I recognized; but ,what's here—
a crow bar! this comes o'hinng strange grave dig
gers, end seputclare-men; they were in suet a mor
tal hurry to drink to the rest' of his soul, that they
must leave their crown behind, the stone of the
vault, too, half open! de'il seize the drunken ras
cals ! "
!Saying this, he plied the iron instrument, end
1, only fearful that be might gain a knovilcdge of
my situation, heard theistone crunch, and elide
over the aperture, enclosing me olive within the
tomb._
The sexton Pennlona walked away, end I was
left to my miserable reflections. At first I con
sidered my strength sufficient, without lever or
bar, to upheave from within, the covering of the
vault. I piled coffin upon coffin, and mounting
upon them placed my shoulders beneath the stone
—I strained, I tasked my sinews to their, utmost,
but to no purpose. I descended to jest, and,re
turned wit renewed vigor to the task. I thought
the grtnxite slabs moved—no—the coffins where
I stood, decayed by time, were unequal to the
pressure imposed on them; they fell crushed and
crumbling, to the ground,' and I, scarcely know
ing . whether I was in life 'or death, sank among
them.
ig Nemeth° by exertion, and Paralyzed by ter
ror, I remained for hours without even Consider
ing how I 'could extricate myself from that place
of death. The lower clock informed. me of the
approach of morning and dreaded beyond all
things discovery, knowing what the penalties of
such sacrilege would be I, was compelled to re

ensuing night I labored incessantly,' and itractised

ly—called again.; hut a shriek ofterror was their
only reply ; and the superstitious men rushed a
way, believing my voice to be-the cry of a restli as
spirit.
During that day and the,fillowing, no other
human being came. I wen fsaitshing. The oil
in My lamp had long been expended. mid my
shore, which I had begun to knave, could not sat-
isfy the craving vulture within.

above, I cast cannibal like glances at the recently
'lowered coffin-4 shuddered—l sickened—no, I
was not a Vampire; the fire of hunger and thirst
burnt up my entrails, yet I could not banquet on
human flesh.
Another dreadful, night—the fourth day a
marriage was to be solemnized in the church.—
Oh ! f heard the gay voices. ithe rite,the music,
and the merry bells; the bridl train passed over,
the vault, I thought of them happiness, and my
doom of torture and wo ; could greater differences
exist between the blest in Delven, and the con
demned in torment I called': I shrieked !, In
an instant all. was confusion " they fled in every
direction; the clergyman as superstitiously feared
as the pelasonts, and not one of the party dared a
gain to enter the church.
I was desperate ; I longed for death ; I .sank
on the cold clammy ground. The tearing within,
thirst, burning thirst !—hot tortures—living ago
nies—die pangs which the bsdy t suffers on a sap- .
nation from the soul, were; surely needling to
those I endured. I continued in a state b.i2dering
on madness, yet to feeble too crawl, or even to cry;
when I thought I heard a gritting sound ov e r m y
head; gasping for breath, Liaised myself on my
elbow, and low words to the foliowingeffect canght
my ear: iss, I recoffect—the noise, they
- say, conies from this place, aid that the spirits be
here ; but I cares nothin' far ghosts, not 1. 1

o Daylight burst ), and I nw Peneluna's face
anximisly bending down; so overpowered was I
with :Me. at my unexpected deliverance, that I
sank back insensible; and tihen I opened mine
eyes it was to find myself within the walls pf a.
jail. They gave me food ; recovered strength;
'and then I was tried for mys . offence.' Pcneluna,
the preserver of my life, wait compelled to appear
against me, and my sentence for breaking into the
church, was banishment beyond the seas.
. Companions and friends t the term of my ex.
ile has expired, and by your; kindness the Gipey
is again a, recognised member of this tribe; mine
only wish is to behold my preserver, once more;
and to say I forgive him fir bearing witness a
gainst me."
As the old man concluded, and young and old
seemed touched by his narrative, a person with
locks silvery as his own sprang towards him; it
was Penelune, who with the boldness cdone that
is conscious be possesses nothing to tempt the pil
>ferer or robber, had epproached the group unob

tion
took place, and the men tordislly greeted each
other; tears stood in the eyes of the unhappy
Gipsy: then he wrung Peneltna's hand and smil
ed—the first smile that :had passed over his worn

A weary man I strayed, •
And through the garden. gr'ves and bowers
My lingeritg path I made;
Sweet...joyous birds where singing
Their twilight sor.gs of player,
And summer dews were springing
Like Hermon's fragrance there.
Upon a gentle mound, there sat
A young and guileless girl,
W hose hair, from underneath i;er hat, '
Flowed down in many a curl,
Her eyes were dim with weeping—
Those eyes all li quid bright, •
Like state in water sleeping',
Pure jewels of the night!
I asked her why she wept so loud,
What her pure heart could grieve?
And down her cheek the, tears would cruwd—
Her snowy breast's deep heave
Told of the child's full sorrow,
Coming like storm's array,
To be dispelled to-morrow,
Bringing a lovelier day.

The Leeds ( Eng. ) Timei states an incident
which bas occurred in Yorkshire, fit to grace a
novel. The hero is a groom, courted by his mas
ter's daughter; and his courage and determination
towards the close of the eventful history prove
that his discretion and distrust at the commence
mont were caused by no lack of manly spirit.—
About nine months ago, Mr. - Charles Brook, a
weal! y American mereta - ntcauna to settle with
his fam:ly, a wife and two daughters at :Airfield.
Among the servants employed as r, boots" or oc
casional groom, was Benjamin Ball, fur whom the
elder Miss Brook, twenty three years of age, con
ceived an" ardent passion. Whenever he was.at
work in the yard, she watched him from one of
the windows ; and she never left it until .he had
finished his task. The youth did not suspect her
feelings, but was Torten heard to complain of her
conduct, because, he said, ~ it seemed as if he
could not do his duty without being watched."—
At length Miss Brook employed a more direct lan,
gunge than that of the eye; she contrived to im
part- her feelings to Benjamin, and to inspire him
with a return of affection ; overcoming some scru
ples which he entertained, sbe l persuaded him to
consent to their marriage; and'ehe furnished him
on Saturday fortnight, with thrd means to furnish
a license. Tor the sequel wrc borrow the words
of the Leeds Times: _
"On Sunday evening, the (lay following,•Mim
Brook took an airing in the phaeton alone, her
Adonis being the driver; here-the license was du
ly conned over,_ and it was finally arranged thin
the marriage s hould take place on Tuesday, the
second instant. Early in the morning of that
memorable day, they accordingly arose ; Berja :
man, with his fair one's asiiitance, prepared a
horse and gig from his master's stables, into-which
they sprang like lightning, and drove oficabout
four o'clock by a circuitous route to the ancient
village of Bistral, unperceived by any of the
oi•servants. They arrived at the Black Bull
Inn a little before seven orclock, where they re
mained tkeight; they then proceeded 0 church;
and the marriage was duly solemnized by the
Rev. W. Heald, the vicar. After the ceremony
was over, they again returnedio the Black Bull
Inn. In the mean time, the family nt Mirfield a
rose as usual, and seated themselves at the break
fast table ; but the young lady's place was empty;
a maid was therefore despatched to her lodging.
room to fetch her; but instead of bringing Miss
Brook, she brought the following laconic note
from her dressing table: • Dear mamma—pray
don't be alarmed, I am only gone to get married.'
This of course put the whole house in a ferment;
and Messrs. George Mitchell (of the Yew Trees,)
Fearesides, and Fairburn, and other neigh
bors, were called in, and sent in quest of the fu
gitives. Birstal, being about three miles distant,
was thought to be the destination of the lovers.—
Mr. Mitchell arrived first on horseback ; and pro
ceeded to the Black Bull Inn, found them , in the
travellers room. The bridegroom bid him egood
morning," and observed, 'had you been•hre half
an hour ago, you would have just be in time for
the wedding.' 'What' said heen in a rage, . MTh
over I' and darting out of the room, went to the
vicar to ascertain the fact. Mr. Heald assured
him that it was true : remarking, a I have only
just returned from the church. . And cannot you
then, replied Mr. Mitchell, 'undo what you have
done a No, sir,' observeti'Mr.dieahl, smiling;
aif I could do so - I should hove -plenty of work.
Mr. M. then returned to the Inn, where he found
the other gentlemen, who had arrived in a phae
ton. An attempt was then made to part those
whom God had joined together,' by giving: the
bridegroom into custody on the charge of stealing
the horse and gig.
This was too much for the young lady's' equa
nimity. She then stood forth, and said in a tone
of-ireat anger, a No, gentle Men, Benjamin is now
my husband; he was then my father's servant,
and in taking the horse and gig he only obeyed
my commands.' Then, turning to her husband,
and presenting him with her gold watch • and
purse, she said, a Rem, take these; they might as
well charge you with stealing them.' The charge

they should all return to Mirtield, and see if they
could accommodate matter , . Accordingly, at
night, the horses, phaeton and gig, Were .. brought
nut, and the party started otT for Mirfield ; Ms.
Hall being between two of the gentlemen in the
phaeton, and Mrs. Hall being between the oth
er•two in the wg. They arrived at Mi , fielit, at,
ten o'clock;and the phaeton turnedmp the road
leading to Mr. Brook's residence. At this mo
ment, Mr. Hall turned bis head, and perceived
that the gig, containing his lady, was proceeding
at a rapid rate on the road towards Hudder s field ;
upon which he sprang from betweett — 'his compan
ions, and crossed the field to ewer:aka the gig, Still
as he approached he called out • whoa, who !'
and the horse, knowing the voice of his former
indulgent keeper, immediately stood still and on
rinnaiely refused to budge. The young lady's
keepers, hearing Mr. Hall approach, took her from
the gig into an adjoinieg huitse, (Mr. Shaw's; )
her indignant husband tollowing, and fighting his
wry through the door and imontge of the house.
They honever, managed to couee Ism to be ob
structed and detained while they got her through
the window, sereaming . piteousy, and placed ber
again in the gig, and drove off.
In half an hour, Mr. Hall was turned out oldie
house; and knowing that his wife had recently
been on a visit to Mr. at the Carr House,
Huilden.field, he concluded that they had, con'vey
ed her thither. Ho therefere proceeded,` on foot.
and arrived at the Carr House a little after mid
night. He repeatedly paced the front of the
lease, and was perceived.—Spun after two
on Wednesday morning, a gig. contaming two
men and a female, drove from the yard; and Mr-
Hall ran and seized the horse by the reins.— Two
of the Huddersfield watchmen were called and feed
to take him off; and hold Linn while the gig''could
go away. They did sin but two other individuals
coming up, and being informed of the cause of his
being detained, they attacked the watchmen,
scuffle ensued, and ultimately Mr. Hall was re.
leased, when he immediately set off in the direc
tion the gig had taken. He however, never over
took them, nor was he able to trace them through
any toll-gates; and it has since been ascertained
that the female in the gig was not his wife, but
Only one of Mr. Miner's servants, who was ph.
red there in order to decoy him front the premises.
It was also discovered that o chaise conveyed Mrs:
Hall from Huddersfield to Manchester, at midnight,
on Thursday week, when it was observed that the
individuals who had, charge of her had hard work
to pacify her.'
. This circumstance reached the ears of Mr, Hall,
and he started at 10 o'clock on Friday night from
Mirfield, by omnibus, to Huddersfield, and from
thence, in company with two friends, by gig to
Manchester. They then proceeded, by the first
train on Saturday morning, to Liverpool. Ow

mission. An eminent solicitor, however, has now
taken his case in band; and if the young lady is
not produced in a few days, it is more than pro
bable that legal proceedings will be commenced
against the parties implicated in her abducijon.
We underwand that the young lady possesses
from £15,000 to ..C2.0,000, bequeathed to her by
a deceased uncle in America, and independently
of her father. It is supposed by those most corn
petent to form an opinion', that she is either in the
Isle of Man, or has been shipped off to America.
