The Tragic Wedding. I nut no professed story-writer, but t hero are many tales that I have listened to of the early times, when the red man vainly stav ed, by wreaking his vengeance on the de fenceless settlers of our frontiers, to gain the ascendancy gone from him forever. These tales are invariably interesting; first because they are full of thrilling incidents, and then again, because they are true. The story of the tragic wedding is one among the many that I have listened to from the lips of an old friend of mine, (a pioneer in the settlements of Northern Vermont, dur ing the long November evenings of Itilo, when banishing from my mind, as much as possible, the dogmas of the much "learned commentator." I betook myself to the happy fireside, and gathered profit and recreation from the old man's narrative. Just fifty-one years ago, this very night," began the old man, one evening, "on the identical spot whereSquirep s house now stands., occured a tragedy, the remem brpuce of which fills toe with 'horror. It was one of the most cold•blooded transac tions that in all my residence in the wilder ness, of seventy years, ever came to my knowledge ; it tilled the whole region round about with consternation, causing mothers to hug more closely to their bosoms their helpless infants, and the hardy men to take up arms and swear vengeance on their heartless perpetrators. • Listen I will tell it to you. "A few of the more hearty and daring of the early settlers of M , becoming a little dissatisfied with their situation there, removed into this then wild and unexplor ed region, distant about thirty miles from any settlements; and finding a fertile soil, and advantageous location, built•ihemselves log houses, and made clearings. `Things went on prosperously with them, and they then lived with but little fearof the Indians, us none but a straggling hunter or two, had been known to visit the vicinity since a bat tle between a‘large party of settlers and the tribe which occasionally located themselves there, occured, in which the Indians were signally defeated, and more than half their number slain. "'l•hc settlement numbered some twelve families. My elder brother and sister were among the numbers. Among them, us a matter of course, was a - fair - sprinkling - of lads and lasses, of whom. Mary S—, of the latter sex, was a universal favorite of old and young, and the belle or the settlement. She was, my _young friend, a girl that was a girt--not one of your sentimental, pale., I faced, wasp waisted, dainty figured Misses of the present time ; but a bright eyed, blooming and laughing brunette, who could spin tow, and weave the cloth of which her dress was made: Oh, she was a charming girl, and wherever she went, happiness fol lowd her footsteps. Iler guileless heart shed its kindly influence around her, imparting to all who came in rontact with her• a kind red feeling. • "Jack 11— was exactly her counterpart brave, generous. intelligent and enterprising a perfect man in character as well as in form. And as there was always a rivalry among the young beaux of the settlement in striv ing to gain the favor and approbation of Nla ry, so among the girls each strove to gain the attention of Jack. The knowing onus among the old folks planned deep schemes fur entrapping the young couple into alli ances best suited to their own particular in tetests ; but Jack and Mary, disregarding the wishes of others, had taken this matter into their own hands, like sensible young people, as they were ; and in spite of the plot ting of the old ladies, they had come ton per fect understanding, and formed an intimacy which nothing but death alone could sunder. "At the time of which I speak, this !nat ter had long been settled, and all the neces sary arrangements made for the wedding of the 'likeliest couple in the settlement,' as the old ladies said, which was to take place on the Evening of the Annual Thanksgiv ing day. , "Thanksgiving, according to the procla mation of the worthy governor of the prov ince came—and young and old gathured together at the spacious (for those times,) house of Captain S , to celebrate the nuptials of Jack and Mary ; and ample were the preparations for the I east.—Bright eyed damsels with blushing cheeks, and gallant, !tardy young men were there. The wor thy parson Gan the next settlement was there also, and by his side sat another per sonage, with whom, in these fastidious times, it would be deemed sacrilege to asso ehtte the man of god—l mean the tiddler. But things ain't now as they were then.— All has joy, all was gaily. Ali, little did those gathered there'drearn of the awful fate that awaited them. "I was just then awenty-two, and having married toe worthy wife—peace be to her mouldering ashes—only a few months be fore, I was unprepared to go with my broth er nod sister at the onset, but was prepar ing to follow diem r...s soon as my affairs could be arranged. I had been out for a week or two trapping sable, and knowing %%1,4 was to come off, I made it in my way , to he present, '!•he gaity of the party was now at its height.• The ceremony was just heiniz perforined. 'l•he Minister bad pro 'Hawed the solemn word,—•\\'burn (;oil bath joined top..t.thcr no inan Hit asund er—the kiss was exehan”ed. and till were crowding round the happy nit. with con gratulations, when a yell. wild and hideous, rent the air—the deadly war whoop of the Indians. Terrible was the consternation of all, and faces a moutt•nt before radiant with happiness, turned in agony of honor to hea ven. In an instant the doors were bursa open, and savage after savage, with glitter ing knife and tomahawk, rushed in to the slaughter. My God ? what a moment was that ? The hideous yells of the savages— the shrieks and groans of the dying, i.hey ring in my ears even to this present day ! I saw the tomahawk cleave the skull of poor Jack, as he vainly endeavored to protect his bridb. I heard the wild shriek as the dead ly knife pierced the bosbin of the lovely Ma ry. I saw my sister fall dead at my feet. saw the savage's arm upraised, I felt a stunning blow, and koew no more, "Ilow long I remained insensible, I have uo metros s of knowing—l awoke as front a fearful dream. I was nearly covered and criished with dead bodies, to which circum stance I probably owed my life. With a struggle, I extricated myself from the dead upon and around rnc,• and stood upon my feet. The sun was shining high in the hea vens. Oh horrors, what a sight met my eyeS ! There, in the. blood, lay every one that had• for Med the bridal party, not a soul had escaped!? llow was it that I was alive? Involuntarily I put toy hand to my head and felt fot• my scalp ; I found the fracture. 1 had been struck with the back of a town hawk, anti only stunned, and being covered by my friends, the Indians had neglected to scalp me. "One.by one I examined the bodies of all to see if life was remaining - in any." I found two or three whom the savages had neglec ted to scalp—but not one alive, The sight was too horrid for human vision. Nlv brain reeled, and I fell to the earth. Corning again to my senses, I hurried from the dreadful spot, stepping over the mangled corpses of my sister and brother, and the bride and bridegrooth, in the embrace of death. I passed to the next house. An ag ed Indy and four children lay dead in their beds. I passed to the next—death had been there, too. The sMoking ruins of oth ers told but too plainly the tragic story; there was not a living being besides me in .the settlement. ! "When I think of that awful night—of the horrors of the morning as I awoke to !sensibility, thy blood curdles in my veins, and my head swims. From tliat time I swore vengeance on the red skins. It has long since been accomplished that tribe lives to tell the storyv On my way home that night, I thought I saw_ Indians in ever♦ bush. And when at last I slept, the cold glare of the eyes of mur dered men and women upon me—l was pressed down by the weight of dead bodies. The incidents of that tragic wedding, as I heard them from the old man's lips, for a long while moved before MC as a panora ma ; so deep was the impression made up on the by the old nian's story. The Betrayed, or Perils of Wealth. One of the great desires of the human kunily, or at least of a large portion of man kind in civilized life, is to becomeindepend ent,affluent—toattain a position beyond the reach of pecuniary want. Ifwe look througlr society, this object will be found a leading one, with ;he multitude. Riches are cove ted by all or nearly all ; and almost every sacrifice is [mule with the object ofattuinin , And condition of wordly ii.dependence. Ad yet it is conceded that wealth by no means brings happiness ;.that in many case it in- I duces habits of indolence, throws open new avenues of temptation, and thus impairs wealth and shortens life. Nevertheless there are hundreds and thousands, who, already rich and whose span of existence is rapidly drawing to a close, who, notwithstanding toil on as steadily as ever anxious it would seem, to accumulaterstill more for their children, and thus willing to subject those children to new temptations. We may mention a case in point. A few years since, a merchant of this city died Suddenly, and left a fortune of ! $150,000, which he divided between his ; widow, a son and a daughter. The son was engaged with his huller iu business, hail be come int-frested iii commercial pursuits; and thus continued on it) the good old track. Ile is perhaps, worth somewhat more at the present day than at the decease of his pa rent. But he is living generously arid hap-. i pily, he attends Iris Germanic , room overlooks his clerks, and thus usefully viii ploys a lard` p ation of his time. But the I widow und her daughter. Both were repu ted worth far more than they really - were, and they immediately became objects of , temptation to mercenary adventurers. The former dis;zraccd herself by Marrying a man much her junior, who has already contrived to make way with a 'largo pcirtion of her for tune. She is• by no means contented, for now that the deception practiced upon her has become visible, now that she sees that her money %C.:as the,object, sire indeed feels disappoinztal and • wretched. The few charms she possessed in her earlier life are ;2 ,orre. turd she observes, u ith a shudder, that Ir r. young husband regard, her in any but an alrectionato s, irit, and that even his acts' of courtesy amid attention are larced and con- strained. She was tree-warned of all this, turd those who loved and resp..cted her most 1111.Crelitit.1 fur hours before she took the fit, tal step. But the arts of a plausible and cap tivating luau were irresistible with a weak and susceptible woman, and the result is its we have stated. The daughter, too—alas ! her case is still worse. She was one of the loveliest of 'her sex, amiable, (generous and confiding. She regarded with horror, the idea of a deliber ate scheme of deception. She was gentle susceptible and affectionate, and would cheerfully have made any sacrifice for the object of her choice. To her, reciprocity of feeling, mutual regard, were ' dearer, sweeter than life. Nlotiev weighed as noth ing in the scale with affection. Under such circumstances, she was singled out with de liberate Meditation' by •a heartless fortune Bunter, was won, and cheerfully confided her happiness and her property to his keep ing.. Before the marriag,e some of her friends ventured to speak of it distinct provision for herself, of the settlement of a portion of her fortune in such a way as to place it beyond the reach of the vicissitudes of trade and • speculation. But she heard the suggestions with indignation. She had unbounded con fidence in her intended husband, and would do nothing calculated in the slightest degree, to imply a doubt. Alas ! the fatal error.— They were married'. They lived in appa- . rant pace together for a•short time: But 12 months had not elapsed before the scales of disolution fell from her eyes. She saw, and woman's quickness in such matters is won derful, that she was not, and never had been sincerely loved. Death would have been preferable to such a conviction, and for a lung time she strove to shut it out from the mind and heart. • But each week and month served to render it stronger and more gall ing. Iler fortune, too, was rapidly wasting away. Her husband had become a profli gate in more senses than one. He hadbeen• poor until his marriage, and thus his taste, appetite and propensities had,been kept in cheek by the•force of necessity. But now, with ample means at his com mand and concious of having played a base part towards his wife lie graduallybecame more neglectful, and More reckless, more Vicious. 'The sensitive 'nature of the heir ess shrunk ; and she was appalled at the prospect before and around her. She saw that her !ife was to be one of misery, and broken in spirit and in pride, she scarcely struggled against her fate. .Years rolled on and as her cheeks grew thin and her eyes wan, the companions of her earlier years scarcely recognized her. She was bank rupt in hope and happiness. She had lie rifled her all of earthly bliss on the fidelity of one, and he had failed. At tittles she still clung to the delusion that all was not lost, that adversity might induce penitence, and restore something of those delicious hopes which memory still referred to with melan cholly delight. But hope was vain. A few years more, and the husband having ex hausted his fortune and nearly broken tho heart of his wife, was, while indulging in some scene of revil and dissipation, seized with apoplexy and summoned to his last account. But she, whom lie had deceived and betrayed—what a wreck did she pre sent ; Prematurely old, faded and said, the contrast with her youthful position and bril liant prospects, was - indeed omit rnful. The flower of her - youth was gone—the charm of her life was over, and yet it is possible that if she had been born to an bumble position, or in moderate circumstanses, her destiny would have been happier—far happier.— But she was an heiress and a victim. She gave her hand—her heart—and her fortune received in return false smiles, honied but hollow words—neglect, insult and treachery: Alas ! for the heiress! Alas ! for the perils of wealth.—Penn. Inquirer. Not one of 'The Itlysteirious thicst. The grandfather of Ben Abou, the presz ent Governor of Riff; when Curd of Tangier made a great feast at the marriage of his daughter. One of his friends, Caitl Ma hornmed Widden, observed a poor man in mean attire in the court and ordered him out ; and be not obeying, pushed hint so that be. fell. The same night the keeper of an oven (there are no sellers of bread ; every out. makes his own bread at home and sends it to the oven.) had barred his door and retirettto rest, when some one knocked at the door. Ile asked, "Who is there ?" :Old:was answered. 'The guest of God," which means a begoor. You are welcome he said," and got up and unfastened the dour; and having nothing but some rem- - nants of the koseoussoo front his supper, and the piece of mat upon which he lay, he warmed the koseoussoo in the oven, and af ter bringing water to wash his guest's hands he set it before him. He then conducted him to the mat, and lay down himself on the: bare ground. In the morning, when he awoke, he found the door untitrred,and tho poor man gone ; so he said tolihnself, 'He had busineSs and did not wish to disturb TO:- or he went awry modestly, being ashani4 of his poverty."

Some time afterwards an order came from Fez for Alahommed, NVitlthql and the baker to repair thither.— They Were both cundtaited to the place be- - fore the palace to await the sultan's coming forth. When he appeared, they were called be- . fore him : and, addressing the lir:st, he asked him if Ina recollected the feast at the mar= riage of the daughter of the Ca id of Tangier, and a poor man whom he had pushed with his left hand and kicked with his right foot.
