And should con quest-after conquest crown their efforts, like the warrior of the_Esst, they would weep that naught was lett for them to` conquer. There is some thing exciting in the thought of rising over those who fain would have us bow our necks to our burden; _there-is a godlike feeling of grandeur in I the man who shakes off the trammels and nar row rules prescribed by his fellows, and stands forth unaided-and alone in the might of a supe rior nature ; ansl there is a melody in the stirring trumpet notes of Fame, to him, unknown and unfelt by the common herd around him. Add in the hoarse shout of the multitude; in the re peated echo of their praises, there is a music that swells in the deepest places of his heart. But for all this proud And haughty joy he must ,stand alone ; the ,very feeling which prompts biin to ascend, insults off his fellowship with his kind. Wrapped in the solitude of his own imaginings, he must remain as he bath willed himself, alone; household ties, domestic affections, all the holiest feelings of his nature are foils to his advancement, and they must bow and hend to the sirocco heat that fills his bosom; and:then, when ell is gained, and the loveliness °fins soul palls heavily upon him, dues he look Itt vain for the sympathy his nature would covet. But therels no sympathy in .Ambition. It admits of,no rival; it must go forth unaided and alone; it is alone in the mer idian of its glory and splendour; it is alone when the thunderbolt crushed it again to earth . ; alone, when the lo Fwn is ringing in the ear . ; alone, when the curses end execrations of the multitude would hurry it to the deepest abyss; alone, with the dark and hitter memory of triumphs past, with the ',wreck of human hopes and passions, with the kbell of dying and departed dreams: " Alt who weuld soar the solar. height, To set in such a starless night." .

Let the eagle gaze on the noonday sun—let the worshipper of mam mon long for the daylight that ushers in his toils and gains, but give to us the night with itssol emn and heavy drapery, with its Icing and trail ing garments sweeping the very earth—give us a sky full of stars and leave us to a dream, with a fragrant Havanna that shuts the outer world from around us. Ah what revellings of fancy—what glorious visions—what deep delicious dreams sweep over man's fiery spirit in these lucid inter vals. It is then we claim again the primeval ho liness of our nature. It is then that we hold the high and holy communion with mar Maker, which leaves us calm and serene, though in the midst of danger and disaster. Though privation and toil he our lot, who is there that can gaze unmov ed on high when myriads on myriads of worlds stud the firmament above, without feeling his whole spirit moved end purified by hie holy com munion. A calmness and tenderness steals across the spirit unknown and unfelt hefore. It seems to Ming man. in the immediate presence of his Creator, and as he looks .on infinite space above, and dreams of all the infinities beyond, he is over come by the grandeur and .sohliinity of his own conceptions. He feels itripressed with theinajes ty tnid, dominion of the grand mover of this bound less universe—he feels hie own littleness: what a speck, an atom of creation he himself is, with all his swelling thoughts and lofty aspirations. Even the very earth on which he treads, proud to call himself its Lord, d windles end shrinks away in his contemplation of the universe. He thinks of eternity, and time seems a moment in compar ison, of space, mighty and indefinite, and the;rev elution of his own earth shrinks into insignificance of man, and a his Creator. A thousand thoughts swell in him while gazing in thestarry sky. -Vis ions of philosophy,old snatches of song.and poetry, the flashing of a dark and lustrous eye, the mem ory of the last fair creapare thatilqaned upon his arm, and listened to, andechoed the wild rhapso- dies he gave vent to And this is iiithe night." Jame, Q. Percival, One of. America's most legitimate poets, and a man of vast Requirements.. He „looks and acts the poet, but his qualifications are superior, to that of the mere poet. He is capable pf almost any amount of mental lablir. He translated the whole of Melte Bruia's ponderous Geography, a work deemed the labor of years. His revision of Weh ster's.

TILE MYSTERIOUS WEDD/310, ♦ DANISH STOUT On the north-west of Zealand, connected with the main land' by a narrow strip of waste ground; stretches a small end fertile Peninsula, studded with hamlets.• Beyond the only town which this little peninsula possesses, the land rim; out into the stormy Battegat, and presents an awfully wild and sterile appearance. The living lands have here obliterated every trace of vegetation; and the. hurricanes which blow from all points of the o cean, ere constantly operating a change on the fluctuating surface .of the desert whose bills of send rise and fell with a motion ea incessant as that of the waves which par around them. ln travelling through the country I spent upwards of an hour in this district, and never shall I forget the impression which the Eerie made upon my mind. Whilmnding along through the desolate region a thunder storm rose over the ocean, toward the North ; the waves roared, the clouds scudded a long in gloomy masses before the wind, the sky grew every instant more dark, ,e menacing earth and sea;" the sand began to move in increasing volumes under my horse'sSeet, a.whirlwind arose and filled the atmosphere with dust, ihe traces of the path became invisible, while air,, earth and o• cean seemed mingled and blended together, every object being involved in .cloud,of dust and Iry por. I could not discern /the slightest trace of life or vegetation•around the dismal scene; the'storcp roared above me, the waves of the sea lashed ctifornfolly against the . shores, the thunder rolled in the distance, and scarcely could the lurid light- - ning-flash . pierce the heavy cloud of sand which , whirled ar ound me. My danger became evident and extreme; but a sudden shower of rain laid the, sand and enabled me to push my way to the little town. The storm I had just edcountered was, a horrid mingling of all.elementai An earthquake hes been. described as the sigh which troubled ne turmhemies from the depth of her bosom; perhaps not more fancifully might this chaotic tempest have typified the conclusion of a wildly distracted mind, to which pleasure and even hope itself have been long strangers—the cheerless desert of the past, .revealingly only remorse and grief—the voice of conscience threatening like the thunder, and her awful anticipations casting a lurid light over the gloomy spirit—till at last the long sealed up sources of tests open a way for their floods, and hurry the anguish of the distracted soul be neath their waves. In this,desolaticanntry, there existed in former times a village called RAW - Twig, about a mile dia. tent from,the shore. The moving sands have now buried the village, end the descenJantii of its inhabitants, mostly shepherds and eshermen, have removed their collides class to the shore.— A single solitary building, situated upon a bill, yet rears its head abeve thO cheerless shifting desert, This building and the village church was the scene of the following mysterious transaction : In an early - year of the laid century, the vener able cure of Roerwig,,was one night seated in his, study, absorbed in pique meditations. Ifisfieuse lay et - the extremity of the village, and p !he simple manners of the inhabitants .wero so little tinged with diatrust,'that bolts end jocks 'wete.an,known among them, and every dour, remitted opal anti unguarded. The lamp burned gloomily—and the . sulle; ai lance of the midnight hour was only icterrp ted by the.rushing noise of the sea, on whose waves the pale moon shone reflected, when the curate heard the door below opened, end the nest nip. Inept the sound of men's steps upon the stair. Me was anticipating a call.to administer the last offi ces of religion to some one of bis .paristioners on the point of death, when two foreigners, wrapped up in white -cloaks, entered the !morn. One of them approaching, addressed him with piditetiess : .” Sir, you will have the goodness, to follow, us iro. mediately. You most perform a marriage cere mony.; the bride end bridegroom' ate already wai ting your arrival at the church. And the sum," here the stranger held out a parse full of gold— a will recompense you for the trouble and illarm our sudden demand has given youP •The curate stared in mute terror upon theritren t gers, who seemed to carry something, fearful—sal meat ghastly in their looks; and the demand was repeated in an earnest and comparative tone.— W hen the-old man had recovered from his, first surprise, he began mildly to represent that hisd,u ty did not allow him,to celebrate so solemn a rite without some• knowledge of the parties, and the .interventionof those formalities required trylaw. The otherstranger hereupon stepped forward a menacing attitude: a Bw," said he, o you: hare your choice, fella, us and take the.sirm now Pifer you—or remain, and this bullet goes through 'your bead." VlThilirepeaking; -he levelled his pistol .at, the forehead of : the venerable man, end: coolly waited hit viewer, Whereupon the ciliate rose, dressed himself, and ieformed his,visitants:— who, had hitherto apoke,Danisb. hut with a for-' . sign secant—that be ,was. ready to occomp,airy' them. - The mysterious sitsPers now Procoldeil sk brolly through the,villsge,' followed der gypion. • It was aiiatk autumn night; the .'snoosi, bad Shasdy,set.; but when,tbey emerged front the; village, tbe old man • perceived yids terror and s. niaseinept,that the dititant church was 101 l Dated:, ; Meantime, his two companions, wrapped up in their white,closks, strode bsinkcsis . 4fors . biro tkrough the, inure° sandy, plain. ing the. chnrckffirry. hotrod up his .eytitt lus then bead s aide door, open.with a welt knOWn,'etssi, jog noise; and telt himself violently ; ,crowd of, people.. whose murmurings he Mafia,4/51414 bum, white 00 0 *We Mai AM. .10941 sATIMDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 6, 1842. carried on,a conversation in a, language quits un knoWit io him, but which: he thought was Buni on. A. be stood helpless : and-blindfolded, he felt himielf seized upon by,: a man's , hind, and drawn violently throug h the morad. At last the bandage was- removed fronz i his eyes, end.be found himself standing with one p 1 p e, ; I wo Attempts before the row of large Mitre, in . Magnificent aff air candlesticks, adorned the altar, and the church itself was splendidly iigiF rap bya profusion of andlea. The deepest silents now reigned through out the *hole bedding; thoirgh the side passages end all the siraugwere crowded to excess; but the middle passogenas quite clear, and he , perceived in it a newly dug 'gray.S., with ) the atone. which had covered, leaning against a'bench. Around him were only malefigures=but on one of the distant beriches, he thought he perCeised a .fernale form. The terrible silence lasted for some; rein. tiles, during , which not a Minion could be detected in, the vast assembly. Thus when the Mind is . bent on deeds of darkness, a sil ent gloomy brood ing of soul often precedes the chmmission of the _ I horrid action, At last man whose magnificent . dress disGn gnished him' from all the rest, end bearieks his-el evated rank,. rose 'end walked up to the alter as he passed along, his steps resounded through the building, and every eye was turned upon him,—' he appeared to be. of middle stature, with brow! shouldera and strong limb!, his gait was commend ing, his complexion of a yellowish brown, and his hair raven black; his-features were severe, and his lips compressed as if in wrath; a.bold equiline nose heightened the haughty appearance of his countenance, and shaggy brows Molded over his fiery eyes. He wore a green coat, with broad gold braids, and a brilliant star.' They bride, who also ap proached and kneeled beside him at the altar, was magnificently dressed. A sky blue robe richly trimmed with silver, enveloped her slender limbs, and floated in large folds oiler her graceful form; a diadem sparkling with diamonds adorned her fair tut, the utmost lovlinen and beauty might be traced in-her features, although despair now ex pressed itself in them; her :theeks were pale as those of a corpse ; her fituresnere unanimated ; herlips were blanched, her ayes dimmed, and her arms hung motionless at her side as she kneeled before the altar; terror seemed to have wrapped her copeciommen as well as her vital powers in deep lethargy. The curate now discovered ,near him, an old ugly hag, in a party colored dress, with a blood red turban . ppon her head, who stood gazing with an expression of maligoantfory -on the kneeling bride; and behind the bridegroom, he noticed a . man . of gigantic size and gloomy appearance'whose eyes were fixed immoveably ott the ground.— Horror struck by the scene ,before him, the Priest stood mote fur Some flint!, till a thrilling look from the bridegroom reminded him of the ceremo ny he had come thither to . perform. But the un certainty whether the couple be, was now about to marry understood his language. afforded him I fresh source of uneasiness, . He ventured, howev er; to ask the , bridegroom for his name and that of his bride.; .i'lieander and. Fendora," was the an. ewer returned in a rough voice. The "priest,now began to lead the ritual in fol kring ac c ents, .frequently stopping to repeat the words, without, however, either the bride or bride (croons appearing , to observe.his confusion, which confirmed hiM in tle,conjecture that his linguage wee almost tinhnoWO to , either of them. On put ting the question, Iteerider, wilt thou have this wonisn for thy LW . edded wife?" he doubted wheth er he, should receive any iinswer; but to his as. tonishment, the bridegroom anewered in the affir mative, with la loud and staiost screaming voice; which rung throughout the atolo -church, while • deep sighs were heard.from every quarter of the building, and a silent quivering.like the reflection of distant lightning, threw I transitory motion o ver the death .pale festmeti . ef th e bride. When the priest turned to tier _wife _the Interrogatory : .Fendors, wilt then have this man for thy wed ded husband!" the lifelessi form before him seem ed to awake; k deep,convelsive throb of terror trembled on her cheeks; her pale lips quivered; a passing gleam7of .fire shone in her eye; her breast heavedla violent gush - of tears flooded the brilliance of her eyes, and the "yep" was preneue ced like the scream of arignish..utteredly a,dying person, end seemed to.find a sleep erloin the , sounds of grief which burst .from the surrounding multitude. The bride then milt into tae arms of the old hag, and alter some minutes had passed in awful 'titmice, the .pale corpse -like female .kneeled, again, as if in a deep trance,, and the ceremony was finished. The billegroom now rose and led away the ,trembling bride ; followed - by the mho and old woman; the two strangersthen appeared again, end having femur .the priesi's eyes, drew him with violence through 'ma crowd, and pushed, him out at the door, which they For some minutes, the old , insn stood endeeuuving• to recollect_ himself, and uncertain whether the. horrid scene with all, its attendant circumstances, might not have.been a dream; but when he bad , , torn the bandage.from his'eyes, and saw the minattid.church - before hitn,, and heard the our-, murings of the crowd, he was forced to believe its. reality.

The mother begins this process of traininwwith the in fant in her arms: It is she who directs, so to speak, its first mental and spiritual Pulsations.— She conducts it along the impressible into of childhood and youth ; and hopes to deliver it to the rough contest and tumultuous scenesi of life, armed by those good principles which her child has first received from internal csreand love. If we draw within the circle o our coutenpla tion the mothers of a civilized nat what do we see I We behold so mar'sni orking, not on frail and perishable matter the immor tal mind, moulding and fashioning beings who are to exist forever. We applaud the aiiist whose skill and genius present ibe mimic man upon the canvass, we admire and - celehrate the sculptor who works opt that same image on enduring marble —but how ,insignificant are these achieSeinents, tbougji the highest and fairestin all the depart ments Qf art, in comparison with the great voca tion of human mothers! They work not upon the canvass that shall fail, or the amble that shall crumble into duel—upon, mind, upon spirit, which is to last forever, and which is to bear, for good or evil, throughout its duration, the impress of a mother's plastic hand. Our security for the duration of the free insti tutions which bless our country, depends upon the habits of virtue and the prevalence of knowledge. and education. Knowledge does not comprise , all which . 4* contained in the larger term of educa tion. The it:fel:age are to be disciplined—the pas sions are to be restrained—true and worthy mo tives are to be inspired—a profound religious feel ing is. to be instilled, and pure morality inculcated, under all circumstances. All this hi comprised in education. Mothers who are faithful to this great duty„will teach their children that neither in pa liticql.noiln any other . concerns of life. can man ever withdraw himself from the perpetual obliga tions of conscience siiti of duty; that in every act, whether pnvate or triadic, he incurs a just respon sibility ; acid that in do condition is he watranted in trifling with important rights and obligations. They will impress upon their children the truth, that the exercise of the elective francla9te i a so cial duty, of as solemnixtrature as man can be cal led to perforp; that • man may not innocently trifle with his vote; that every ,frce elector is • trustee as well for others as himself: and that ev ery, man end every meagre he supports, has i on important bearing ,on the interests,el others as. well as his.own. It is in the inculcation of high and pnre,Poralsr such as these, that in a free-re public, woman perform! her sacred duty, and Ink Ms her destiny.

He piated thnt scrolling through Booth street, he felt !something grazing his leg, and on looking for the cense, saw a than picking up a pocket book, which appeared ,to be well filled, nd make off with it in great haste. At the same moment another man addressed the coun tryman respecting the transaction, and skilled that they both should start in pursuit. The min-. tryroan thinking he had as much right to the pock et book aforesaid, as the man who found it, was eager to obtain its possession. They fortunately found the man on a dock behind a woad pile, with the pocket-book in his band, gloating over its rich contents of X's and V's. The man who joined our friend from the country, told the finder of the pocket book that he ( the countryman) was the owner of the book end money,. and it must be giv. en.up to him, and this our sharp countryman al to insisted upon. The finder, however, refused to do this, unless he was paid for his trouble, and was bent on keeping it unless he received at least five dollars. The countryman,-eager to obtain possession at so small an outlay,'handed out , in double quick time five dollars hard money from a buckskin purse, which the finder received, deliv ered up the, pocket book, and made himself 'carte. The gentleman who aided in finding the fellow, also informed the countryman that he Omahay was entiiliall to something for his iambi., and &- mended 64 dollars also, adding that weft then yielding up a fair claim to half the contents of the pocket book.
