And then the've got Arapiniu' their mouths so wide, that none of the sound goes through the nose at all, and seems to lose all the .ARIOMIK'ss as 'mem , ' 4 Did'id you think, Mr. Baker, that the little man was uncommonly lifted up in prayer?' said the dame. Fortunately for Josiah, this was a leading question, and The monosyllable, yes, came to his aid. Just then thiclock behind the door began to strike nine, and . beifore it was done, the Squire and his wife had taken a sandleana gone to bed, cautioning Sally not to forget Yi'®ever up the embers after Mr. Baker v.-asgone. Now, though the sudden departure of the old folks had relieved Josiah from one dilemma, it lefthim in a worse one; fot he was alone with Sally without a single ,lea in his head, and histongue cleaving to the roof of his mouth, which was as dry as a powderhorn. 'I believe my horse is a little uneasy,' said he, after a silence of several minutes; and he jumped up and went out to the fence, and walked round a little, took - another drink from the well, and then rushed into the house, and determined to make a bold push, and broach the subject et once. So ho drew his chair• up near Sally, and addressed her. 'Miss Sally !--darnation !'— 'What do you say, Mr. Baker - Tarnation ! • 'Oh! I Thought you spoke to me.' 'What, do you •thinkof getting married, Miss Sally?' ' 'Did you speak to me, Mr. Baker?' 'Sartingly, I did—there's nobody else to speak to, as I see,' said Josia'a, looking round the room. • Sally now began to color up, her throat swelled, and the-reminded Josiah of one of his turkeys, and thus fur --.ftiabied him with a topic for conversvion. 'Mira Sally, do you love tnrkey *tbs.' 'So do Irsaid Josiah. • ',''Which de you like the bat on it, apple sauce or 'cianberry,' Cranberry. said Josiah. 'Which do yoc think the sweetest, Sally, honey or maple sugar ? - 'Honey.' - 'Thunder !"—we're as near alike as two pumpkins. - Nit, Sally, I'll tell you what's the sweetest thing in all mane—its you.' 'Now be still, Mr. Baker, for mother says praise to 'the face is open disgrace.' He now drew his chair close to hers, for as he told islasister afterward, he began to get his piuck up. 'Sal ly; says he, what's the sign when any body treads on your toes?' 'lt's a sign they love you. Oh, Mr. Baker you have smashed my feet to pieces.' Upon this he threw his arm around her neck, and gave her such a smack as Sally J ones got when old Mrs. - Jones thought her bottle of emptins had burst. 'What's the matter, my dear V said the Squire, who was awakened out of a sound sleep by his wifejurnping in bed. 'Nothing,' said she, 'only I heard a great crackling jnst now; I thoug - htat first %was your shootin' gun goin off; but I guess its only the frost comin' out of the ground.' At the mention of his gun the Squire got rut of his bed, and opened the door into the sitting room. 'Sally, are you up 1 What noise was that?' 'Twas—'twas, I just shut the front door ! that's all the noise I heard.' 'Well, you'd better put the nail over the latch and go to bed.' The next morning the old lady gave Sally a severe scolding for slamming the door so hard, when people wet's. asleep. That interesting intrr.iew, and above all that part ing kiss, w--s more than Sally Jepson could stand un moved—and on the next Sunday when - she went to 'church and got a sly . wink and a nod from Josiah, for her life she could'nt tell whether she had a heart left among her goods and chattels, although she tried all meeting time to decide the doubt. Josiah repeated the kiss on that very e iening, and performed more, for he popped the alternative, and had the satisfaction to see Sally blush—an infallible symptom that his question had gone straightway to her heart, and caused it to flood her cheeks. The parson soon blessed the happy twain and they became one flesh—very much to the delight of all loc en of thanksgiving dainties—who in that union foresaw a perpetuation of Josiah's incomparable breed of ter keys, as well as some other things. A HOME THRUST. The Rev. Rowland Hill was celebrated for his talent, his boldness, his piety, and his conscientiousness. He Would never suppress his feelings, or modify his lan guage, through fear of giving Ofence, and was never known to omit an opportunity of illustrating a senti ment, or administering a deserved reproof, however embarrassing it might prove to individuals who might happen to be present. It' is related of this good, but eccentric preacher, that on one occasion, when speak ing of the sin attendant upon dress, and conformity to all the fashionable fooleries of the day, he observed: "I ein well aware many of you are ready to say—`Mr. Bill, look at home, look at your own wife.' It is all tree, look at her. 113 There site is:" and then apply ing himself to her, in the presence of the congregation. "You know, Mrs. Hill, I have often pointed out to you the sin and folly of pursuing extravagance when you could relieve so many cf your fellow-creatures, in place of wasting your money in this way." THE LARGEST WROUGHT IRON GUN IN TH E - For the last two weeks, says the N. Y. True Sun, L. B.

The machinery fez placing the gun in the furnace, of putting it on the of turning. cutting and hammering, are so com plete thatit is moved with a precision and facility truly astonishing. Cast iron guns of tris size are frequent ly made, but no attempt we believe has before been made to make a gun of this size from wrought iron.— It is calculated that the strength and power of this piece, when finished, will carry a ball of one-third great er weight and one-fourth increased distance, than the best east iron gun. .OrThe Globe acknowledges the receipt of five dol bars trom a subscriber in Carroll co., Md., in advance for the paper.

If our friends turn out to-day strength, and use their usual exertions, there is not a doubt but a splendid vic tory will crown their labors. We would urge upon them to Bt EARLY AT THE POLLS; TO HAVE CAREFUL MEN AT THE TABLES, WHO WILL WATCH THAT NO FRAUDS ARE PRACTISED ON THE VOTERS. LET EVERY MAN EXAMINE HIS TICKET BEFORE HE VOTES, AND SEE THAT HE HAS ALL THE GENUINE DEMOCRATIC CANDI DATES. You can't be too particular about this, for our Ticket has been altered in every possible way. SEE THAT EVERY DEMOCRATIC VOTER IS BROUGHT OUT, TH AT WE MAY NOT ONLY DEFEAT BUT ANNIHILATE THE FOE. YOU MAY DEPEND THAT ALL CHARGES BROUGHT AGAINST YOUR CANDIDATES ON THE DAY OF ELECTION, ARE FALSE; PAY NO ATTENTION TO ANY THAT MAY BE CIR CULATED BY THE OPPOSITION OR THEIR TOOLS. SUPPORT THE WHOLE TICKET; SCRATCH NOT A SINGLE MAN. SEE THAT NO DEMOCRAT IS DEPRIVED OF HIS VOTE ON INSUFFICIENT OBJECTIONS. RALLY, friends for the total and complete regene ration of Allegheny; let us make this day a terror to the whip for years to come, and let us, by our exertions to-day, ensure the permanent ascendancy of democrat is principles in Allegheny county. WILLIAM WILKINS Old men of Allegheny! rally to the support of the comrade of your boyhood; the honest counsellor and faithful servant of your riper years. You have known him through along life; from the time he sported with you m the 'village green,' until now, when his hair has grown grey in your service; you have tested his hones ty and know his worth; you have always found him the zealous friend of the interests of this district. All ac knowledge his high talents, his great experience, and his unswerving devotion to your interests. You have tried him before, and found him all that yotA desired; support him as you did in former times, and send him to Congress with a triumphant majority. YouNu ms:4! unite yourefforts in support of the co temporary of your fathers. Long us he has been in pub lic life, he is yet just "as good as new." He is the on ly candidate who has the ability to attend to the inter ests of the district properly, and the faithful and effi cient manner in which he has discharged former trusts, is the best assurance that your confidence will not be misplaced. Farmers, Manufacturers, Mechanics and Work ingmen, vote for WlLLtsst WILKINs; he has shown himself tube the sincere friend of measures with which your interests are identified. From the other candi dates you have but promises; his acts are a guarantee of hitt c,mrse. By electing him, yon will secure a rep \ resentative in the national councils, unsurpassed for ability and, experience. Give him your suffrages; let him rot be defeated by your inertness, or by the vile falsehoods circulated against him. Express your de termination to-day to have a representative who can defend with vigor, an s support with ability, your im portant interests, in thele.gislative Halls. l',lrThe Maryland boys have been caught napping, and have not maintained their position as well as we expected. Shall we be guilty of the same shameful neglect, or will we show them to-day what the "huge paws" of Allegheny can do, when "wide awake," and by electing our whole ticket, add another star to the democratic galaxy of the good old Keystone. WE CAN DO IT, AND WE WILL DO IT, and our friends abroad will have the satisfaction of pro claiming that old federal Allegheny has been regenera ted. DEMOCRATS! Do not forget that JOHN NIGLICY, the sterling old Democratic farmer, is a candidate for State Senator! He is, politically and personally, a man of true princi ples and undoubted integrity. Rally round him, then, with undivided strength, and assist to defeat the trim ming, scheming pettifogger whom the blue noses are so anxious to foist upon the people of this district. Let NEGLEY have a tremendous vote! ASSEMBLY A L Eld.d DER BHACICZNRIDGE, JOHN A N DER EGG, ismas A. GIBSON and IN ILL IA NI STURGEON are the Democratic Nominees for Assembly. No ticket be fore the people combines the same claims and qualifi cations; none could so well represent at Harrisburgh the interests of the people of Allegheny county. They are all true and tried democrats, and should receive the cordial and unreserved support of every man who wishes well to the cause. CLARKE, MILLER AND FOSTER Those who desire a continuance of the economical and successful policy which has rendered our canals a source of profit, should vote for Limits CLARK E, Wx. B. FOSTER, jr., and JESSE MILLER. They are well acquainted with the business of managing our public works—they are men of cnterptize and mensal resonsi ces, and will seize upon every circumstance calculated to advance the blench cf the public interest which will be under their control. Of their firm and fearless de mocracy nothing need be said. They deserve and will have a hearty support.

Turnout, then, mechanics and workingmen, the Tippecanoe Dinner, and give one strong pull for the "old bricklayer." THE WHIGS AND THE TARIFF.—Tbe leading whig papers of New York urge on the party the policy of not nominating candidates this fall, but to support a Cal houn ticket, and thus effect a division in the democrat ic ranks. This shows bow hollow are their professions of devotion to a Tariff; Mr. Calhoun has ever been an advocate of free trade, and the whig leaders of New York now propose to support men favorable to that system, while hero they profess to be the exclusive friends of the Protective policy. This is the old game of the whigs; they have advocated and denounced in turn every measure of public policy, as it suited their interests or their schemes. They have professed "all things to all men," and while supporting a Tariff here, they are, in New York and other places, advocating free trade, and aiding the enemies of a Tariff. They care nothing for that measure, fw ther than it may serve as a hobby to carry them into power. CRAIG and his clique, notwithstanding their loud professions, would abandon it to-day, if the measure should be found to be unpopular in this community, but they know otherwise, and hence are rampant Tariff, men. But the result of the election to-day, will show that the people of this district desire a pers - m to represent them of some ho- nesty and inflexibility of purpose, and as Mr. Craig is opposed to a National Bank, merely because a majority of the people are opposed to it, it is but fair to presume that should he be elected, and find a majority of Con gress opposed to a Tariff, he would abandon that mea sure, and come out a free trade man. JAMES CUNNINGHAM Is the democratic candidate for Commissioner. He is trustworthy and competent, and the old democrats who have stood shoulder to shoulder with kite in sup port of their tickets and principles, will:take pleasure in givinglim their support. Mr. CRAIG has not corrected his atrocious calumny on thetneasory of the lamented Wm. B. CONWAY; nor will he do it; he is brave enough to villify the dead, who, while living, made him writhe beneath their caus tic lash. Poor Conway! is there one in this communi ty that knew his generous nature and sincere Christian ity, whose soul will not revolt at the baseness of that man who could pronounce kim a "malignant infidel!' TREASURER Our old citizens will not forget that ROBERT GLASS is before them for the office of County Treasurer. If an honest and unobtrusive course of life, and a devotion to the cause of democracy may win support for a man, Robert Glass is sure to receive it. LOoR TO YOVR TICKETS.—ThO first duty in every district this morning, should be to appoint active men, to examine the tickets that are given out to the democratic voters. Frauds will be atetrriptol, and it wil require close vigilance to defeat them. Look well toour tickets for Congress, Sheriff, and Prothono tary, We have already exposed one fraudulent is sue that has been circulated through the county, and we have no doubt but more will make their appear ance to-day. Remember that the opposition have no hope to succeed except by cheating, and we must all be on oar guard to frustrate this mode of federal election eering. CORONER AND AUDITOR Democrats will remember that DAVID HARTZ and ROBERT DONALDSON are before them for Coroner and Auditor. Those who support Mr. Hartz, will have the satisfaction of assisting a man who, owing to the loss of an arm, i 3 rendered comparatively unable to provide for his family. Mr. Donaldson is an unswerving dem ocrat who is well qualified to perform the duties of the office. Let them be heartily sustained. WHO ARE THE FRIENDS Or A TARlFF? — Dernocmts should any blue-nose antimasun or whig, ask you to support his party, because it is friendly to a Tariff, just put the following paragraphs at him, and see if he can explain them in a satisfactory manner:— °When you hear a federal slangwhanger talking a bout a discriminating tariff, and the protection of Am erican industry, just tell him, that Henry Clay's liege man, dolan White, Speaker of the House, killed the tariff twice by his casting vote, and that of the remain ing ten of the Federal delegation from Kentucky, six voted against the bilL And just remind him, also, that thirty-five Whigs in the House, and nine in the Senate, also voted against the bill, and that without the aid of democratic votes, it would have been left in an aggregate minority of for ty-five. And then ask him if he is bold enough to say that the Whigs, as a party, ever intended to _pats the Tar iff? Harrisburg There is no certainty that any federal isurnsbee win give a hearty support to any measure. They have no principle in any thing they do, and they wall sacrifice the most important measure that interferes with their selfish designs. What assurance have the people of this district that Craig would not follow White and his colleagues, in their treachery to the manufacturing in terests of the country? The beat protection against such traitors is not to place them in . a position where they can betray. GEORGE R. RIDDLE, The Democratic candidate for Prothonotary, is fur the first time before the people as a candidate for a county office. Upon the democratic party, his claims are founded in his long undeviating devotion to their cause. From the time he gave his first vote until now, George R. Riddle has been an active and reliable supporter of democratic principles and measures; he has never spa red money nor exertions to bring success to the demo cratic cause—and he desarves the warm support of ev ery member of the party. Those who disregard party nominations in county offices, by voting for Mr. Riddle, will be certain of aiding to put in office one of the most, if not the must competent man in the county for that situation DRILLING. — The Autirnasonic candidate for Sheriff intends to make bold battle to-day. We saw bim yes terday drilling his fortes most diligently—not his po litical forces, but the military company under his com mand.

Nathaniel Greene has received the appoint ment of postmaster of Boston vice George Vim. Gor dont.whii goes consul to Rio Janeiro. The appoint ment is to take effect on the 15tn inst. THE HIGHT SENTIMENT.—The Mobile Tribune COT reedy remarks: "We hold him as an ENEMY to the Democratic par ty, who, ender pretest of striking at its men, assails its measures—who seeks to destroy its organization, by the encouragement of either secret or open opposition to its regularly nominated candidates. This is the sentiment that every democrat should en tertain, and we hope it wile acted on at the polls to day. OF Politicians, oft both sides, have been sadly disappointed at the result of the election in some of the counties of Maryland. In many of the democratic strongholds, the party felt so secure in its strength, that no exertions were made, and lulled into indifference by their uniform triumphs, they permitted their ene mies to rally and obtain a temporary victory. Again, in some of the strongest federal counties, the democrats with a little exertion have carried their ticket. In Dor set, forinstance, where a democmthas not been elec ted for the last 14 years, and where Harrison had 546 ' majority, the democrats have elected their whole ticket except one candidate for the Legislature. This shows what can be done by a spirited effort, and the reverses our friends have met with in other parts of the state, should admonish us of the necessity of being always ready, and never to relax our watchfulness.

The Sun could learn nothing to satisfy a belief A Tarr El.-A democratic speaker at a public meet ing in Philadelphia declared that all the professed dem ocrats who were opposing the nominations of their par ty, were at beg Whigs, and that it was more probable they would be found supporting the Whig candidate for President in 1844. This remark will apply to more places than Philadelphia, and we would caution every democrat tobe on his guard against these "professors" who abuse the candidates of their party and endorse the slanders of our opponents. OFFICIAL RKPORT OF THE LOSS OF THE UNITED STATES STEAM-FRIGATE MIS SOURI. GIBRALTAR, AUglISt 28, 1843 Sia: It has become my painful duty to report to you that the United States steam—frigate Missouri, un der my command, has been almost entirely destroyed by fire. I arrived here on Friday night, the lath in seventeen days from Norfolk, and five from f ayal. The nest clay commenced taking in coal. , filling up the water, overhauling the machinery, and making the necessary arrangements prior to leaving here on the Sunday following. After paying the customary hon ors to the Governor, by salutes from the ship, the Hon. Mr. Cushing and myself came on shore to pay our personal respects, first to our Consul, Mr. Sprague, who afterwards accompanied us to the Governor, Sir Robert 'Thomas Wilson. We remained en shore and spent the afternoon with our consul, intending to return to the ship in the even ing; and I had ordered my boat to be on shore for us by ' ' 9 o'clock. At about 8 o'clock, a message was brought to me that the Missouri NMI on fire; I repaired. with out a moment's delay, to the only gate through which I could pass the walls of the city, (the others being, as is the custom, closed at sunset.) I learned after wards, however, that they were aft thrown open, by direction of the Governor, the moment he heard of the . fire on board the Missouri. lam pleased to mention here, that every assistance was rendered to as by that distinguished gentleman, as well as from Sir George Sartorius, commanding her Britanic Majesty's 74 the Malabar, (as will be seen by a communication from roe to those gentlemen, a copy of which I have the honor herewith to enclose.) My boat, fortunately, had been sent as soon as the fire broke out, and I found her at or near the landing place. When I arrived on board, (which was in about twenty minutes, perhaps, from the moment I received the startling intelligence, I found the flames raging with violence,) and the officers and crew exerting themselves to the utmost to overcome them. Every person on board was disposed of, or stationed in a position, where he could do the most possible good. The powerful pumps on board had with alacrity been rigged, with their hoses attached, and were in opera tion; those men who were not at the pumps, were em ployed in drawing and passing water in buckets, and pouring it upon the flames. At a single glance, how ever, I discovered the prudence of flooding the after magazine, which was immediately done; the forward one having already very prudently been ordered to be flooded before I reached the ship; soon after I did so, two engines in large boats, well manned, came along side. These boats were sent off by Sir Robert Wil son, the Governor, and by the able and energetic exer tions of Sir George Sarterius and his officers, with the seamen of his ship, I was at one time in hopes the de vouring element was conquered; but alas! the flattering hope was soon dissipated by its breaking out, agnin with increased violence. This only increased the en ergies and zealous efforts of the officers and crew ofthe Missouri, and our friendly auxiliaries, until they were driven from their stations by the flames. When I sow there was not a ray of hope left to save that noble ship, I summoned a council of the officers, and those English officers who were near me, to as certain their views; they quickly and unanimously deci ded, that there was no hope left of saving the ship. I therefore gave the order for every person to quit her without delay, and without confusion—for by this time there was very little space remaining for those on board to stand clear of the flames and smoke; the wind bad increased, and the ship was in flames fore and aft.— The crew immediately took to the water, and received the ready assistance of boats, anticipating the exigency, from her Britannic Majesty's ship Malabar, and from the vessels in the harbor. Such was the state of the ship, when the officers and crew were compelled to give tier up; they saved nothing but what they stood is. After I had seen every persoaout of the ship, I lowers ed myself down by a rope from the starboard wheel house, and was taken on board one of the boats in wait ing. This occurred at hilf-past 11 o'clock. The im mense number of boats surrounding the burning ship at the time were directedto pull out ofthe way as fast as Ipossible., fearing, lest the magazines might not base been effectually flooded, an explosion might take place; and, in that event, the loss of tl would have been very great. Fortunately, however, the magazines did not explode until 3 o'clock in the raorningi• so completely were they flooded; and, as they exploded under water, the shock was not severely felt. At thep,olite Invita tion at Sir George Satori us, the crew were sent on board his ship, (the Malabar,) and have remained there until to-day. I have had them removed to a ship chartered: for the purpose of conveying them and the officers to the United States. As the officers end crew have, by this unfortunate and unlocked-for event, been rendered completely des- titute of ek,thinhind eve r ythin g .lse, lutely neeessaryA:ir the pieservati9n of their healthind purchases.lhave dieEe . tad the Va serto ma : ttOkstfoit s havetilem isotip li ed iitmedfately with ittern- Ccltithkw k ear e wcf!lnntl7 441Panti; aed - The ship chartered is the Ra j ah of 600 tow', of ADIP. ton, and bound to that port; and will sail in night days: from this date. I have the crew employed, as well as lighteners from the shore, in saving as much of the Property as possible from the wreck. The guns, an chors, chain-cables, &c., will probably be recovered in time to send themby the Rajah, and all such articles as can be got from the wreck before she sails; the re mainder will be sent to the United States by the next vessel which sails from this. The machinery, boilers, and many valuable parts will be recovered. After sa ving all that is valuable, or that canlbe of any use whatever, I will request Mr. Sprague (our consul) to sell the remainder to the best advantage. Until to day, I have not been able to ascertain any satisfactory evidence asito how the fire originated. The following, sir, is the testimony of three coal heavers, who were at work at the time in the engine -room, and in the vicinity where the fire broke out. I will state the circumstan ces in theirown words, taken down as they related them: John Sutton states that "about ten minutes to eight o'clock, I went in the starboard engineer's store-room, with a globe lantern, to get a pair of beam scales to weigh coal, which they were at that time taking in; in getting down the scales, a wrench fell and broke a demijohn, containing spirits of turpentine; I wiped up as much as I could, I then went down to the cylender where they were at work, to see how much of the spirits had rundown. I was on my way to the chief engineer, to report the circumstance of breaking the demijohn, and had just got on the berth-deck ladder, and had not reached the spex-deck, before I heard the cry of fire, I turned round immediately, and saw the fla.me bursting up through the gratings atrove the steam chest; I ran on deck and got a fire-bucket, and endeav ored to extinguish the flame." William J. 14'illiame states: 'I was at the start ing-bars in the engine room, at work on the outside of the cylinder; we heard something dripping down, and we sung out to Sutton not to be dropping his water here, (for there was usually a bucket of water kept in the store—room above;) he said, we need not be afraid no more would be coming down. We went on in our work, and the first thing I heard Cfuna sing out fire; de the same time I saw the flame burst up suddenly from the felt and canvass which was around the steam ' chest. I jumped with Clum to the steam—chest and I pipe, and endeavored to haul the felt off, which we were not able to do; I then went to work to try and ex tinguish it.' Alfred Clu states: was at work putting on the coverof the cylinder, I saw something like water drip ping down, and I sung out to Sutton, who was in the store-room above; he said something which I did not understand; I bad a light near me, and the water, as I supposed it to be, had nearly wet through the felt and canvass which was around the steam-chest. when it fell down apon my lamp, which was below; immediately the whole felt and canvass was in a sheet of flame, and together with Williams, I tried to haul the felt off, but could not succeed; the flame blazed up. and caught the boards which made the flooring of the store-room im mediately above; it was impossible to work about the packings of the cylinders with a lantern s ' There is no doubt on my mind, sir, as to the correct ness of the above statement: and to that circumstance alone must we attribute the dreadful calamity which has overwhelmed myself and officers with the deepest and most painful feelings—the destruction of our noble ship. During the sad and melancholy scene, I am happy in having it in my power to bear testimony to the zeal and firmness cif all the officers. They evinced, on this trying occasion, a coolness which does them infinite credit, and is alike honorable to themselves and to the service. The crew ale() did their duty like men, and deserve well of their country. There are three or four who wore particularly distinguished for their zealous efforts and good conduct: and of whom I will speak again in another communication. I have the happiness to inform you that all the crew of the Missouri were saved, without a single acci dent occurring to any of them. If, on a review of all the circumstances connected with this disastrous occurrence, you, sir, should deem it expedient thata court inquiry should be directed to investigntc the facts in the case, I should be much gratifierl if inch a course should be alOpter I have the honorto be, Most respectfully, Your very ob'dt servant, JOHN THOMAS NEWTON, Captain, 1 Hcn.

A TOO FOND WIFE Among the items of late foreign intelligence our readers may remember the mention of the death of a Mr. Aymer, a circus vaulter. The North Adams (Massachusetts) Transcript gives the following melan choly account of the effect of the news upon his widow, who is a rer ident of that town: "Mr. Aymer formerly resided in this village, and left here engaged in his profession about a year since, He has here, residing with her mother, a bcautiful and lovoly wife of twenty, to whom the intelligence of his awful end was communicated by means of the above extract on Friday last. She read it, shed a tear over it, and burst into the wild laugh of the maniac. "It was ene of the most heart rending scenes the eye ever beheld td look upon the mental ruins of this beau tiful female, to encounter that wild and frantic eye, and to listen to the wild and unmeaning conversation of one whose reason has stranded. On the Sabbath she ar rayed herself in bridal dress, and wandered over the fields plucking flowers, and decking herself with fan tastic ornaments, piercing the ear and the heart with her frantic calls for her lover.—Mrs. Aymer buried her only child in New York, the past summer, and is now verily alone on the bleak waste of life, without a star to guide her frail and shattered barque, and with out a beacon-light to warn her of quick-sands and shoals."
