Near Springfield Mountain there did dwell
A lovely damsel known full well,
Loftenant Csrtci's only gall,
. Her father's joy and nara-cd Sail.
One day this damsel ttipt it quirk '
Down to a stream to berries pick.
She had'nt pick'd but two or three,
When her foot alipt, and in went she.
And when into the stream she fell,
She utter-ed an awful yell,
And then attnk down beneath the wave,
Because no hand was near to aave.
Her lover eaw the horrid sight,
And to her ran with all his might
Dut when from out (he stream he took her
All aighs of life had quite forsook her.
He'roll'd and loll'd her all about,
And quickly brought the water out;
But when he found hcraoul had fled,
He wrung bis hands and cri-ieJ.
And then her lifeless form he bora
Unto her anxious mother's door,
Saying Mrs. Carter here you see,
All what ia left of your Sull-e !
The awful news shot through ber brain,
And down she fell, nor spoke again.
The lover he some piien took.
And upward gave an earnest look,
And told his ghost to follow artcr
His own dear Sail and Mrs. Carter.

A Matrimonial Adventure of
ov. wkmtwoutii.
The Knickerbocker-for April has
been published for some time. It con
tains much agreeable matter, a sample
of which we subjoin. It is an anecdote
of Governor Wentworth, tho last of the
Colonial Governors of New Hampshire,
and is still related by tho aged people of
the neighborhood in which he lived :
"He had, it seems, married a very
pretty little girl, some thirty years his
junior, who, like most young wives,
was lond oi gaiety, and liked better to
pass the evening in strolling through the
woods by moonlight, or in dancing at
some merry-making, than in the arms
of her grayhaired husband. Never
theless, although she kept late hours,
she was in every other respect an ex
emplary wife. The governor, who was
a quiet, sober personage, and careful of
his health, preferred going to bed early,
and rising before the sun, to inhale the
cool breeze of the morning ; and as the
lady seldom came home till midnight,
he was not very well pleased at being
disturbed at her late hours. At length,
after repeated expostulations, his pa
tience was completely exhausted, and
he frankly told her that he could bear
it no longer, and that if she did not re
turn home in future before twelve o'
clock, she should not be admitted to the
house.
"The lady laughed at her spouse, as
pretty ladies are wont to do in such ca
ses ; and, on the very next occasion of
a merry-making, she did not return till
past two in the morning. The gover
nor heard the carnage drive to the door,
and the ponderous clang for admittance;
but he did not stir. The lady then bade
her servant try the windows; but this
the governor had forsccn ; they were
all secured. Determined not to be out
gcncralled, she alighted from the car
riage, and drawing a heavy key Jrom
her pocket, sent it ringing through the
window into the very chamber of her
good man. This answered the purpose.
Presently a night-capped head peered
from the window, and demanded the
cause of the disturbance. "Let me into
the house, Sir 1' sharply demanded the
wife. The governor was immoveable,
and very unzallantly declared she
should remain without all nicht, The
fair culprit coaxed, entreated, cxpostu
ated, and threatened ; but it was nil in
vam. At length becoming iranuc at
his impcrturable obstinacy, she declared
that unless she was admitted at once,
she would throw herself into the lake,
and he might console himself with the
reflection that he was the cause of her
death. The governor begged she
would do so if it would afford her any
pleasure ; and shutting the window, he
retired again to bed.
"The governess now instructed her
servants to run swiftly to the water, as
if in pursuit of her, and to throw a large
stone over the bank, screaming as if in
terror, at the moment of doing it, while
she would remain concealed behind the
door. The good governor, notwith
standing all his decision and noncha'
lance,-was not quite at ease when he
heard his wite express her determina
tion. Listening, therefore, very atten
lively, he heard the rush to tho water
side the expostulations of tha servants
the plunge and the screams ; and Knott
ing his wife to be very rash, in her mo
ments of vexation, and really loving her
nio; tenderly, he no longer doubted the
reality.
" 'Good God 1 is it possible !' said he;
and springing from his bed, he ran to
the door with nothing about him but save
his robo de nuit, and crying out 'save j
her, you rascals! leap in, and save
your mistress!' made for the lake. In
the mean time his who nasieneu in-
oors, locked and made all fast, and
shortly afterward appeared at the win
dow, from which her husband had ad
dressed her. The governor discovered
the ruse, but it was too late ; and he
became in his turn the expostulator. It
was all in vain, however; the lair lady
bade him a pleasant good night, and
shutting the window, retired to bed, lea
ving the little man to shift for himself,
as he best might, until morning. Whe
ther the governor forgave his lair lady,
tradition does not say ; but it is reason
able to presume that he never again in
terfered with tho hours she mi
choose to keep."

Sorcery Apparition or tbe Devil.
A French journal relates that not
s -
long since Jean urange, ot liruges, in
the Bassas Pyrenees, succeeded to the
whole property of his father. The cof
fers of the deceased did not contain ci
ther gold or silver, but from them a
mine of wealth in an antique volume
entitled Cyprian Mago Ante Conversa-
tionem, printed at Salamanco in 1400,
partly in French and partly in Bad La
tin, illustrated with magical, cabalisti-
cal and diabolical prints, and contain
ing an infallable means of obtaining
through the aid of the Devil a treasure
amounting to 1,800,000 fr. Grange
being himself no conjurer, took his pre
cious book to Fcrran Lagrange, a man
universally believed in tho country to
enjoy the entire confidence of his Sata
nic Majesty. This personage at once
declared the book to be authentic, but
unavailiablc without the sign manual of
the Trincc of Darkness, to procure
which the evil spirits would require a
bribe ol o(H) lr. 1 he credulous peasant
after some hesitation agreed to pay the
arge lee of office, and a lew nights af
ter the following magical scene was
performed in the presence of Grange
and a witness named Grassies, who af
terwards before the Correctional Tri
bunal of Orthcz gave a description of it.
"After a good supper at the house of
lagrangc, who during tho repast rega-
ed our ears with the music ol his vio-
in, he put into each of our hands some
armetese, a plant possessing, as he said,
the virtue ot protecting men irom the
spirits of evil, and made us follow him
in procession round the garden, lo
wards midnight, we returned to the
kitchen, in the middle of which ho pla
ced a table covered with a white cloth,
and put upon it a candle with the 500 fr.
in live rouleaus. He scrupulously in
quired whether we were in a state of
grace, lor otherwise, he said, we should
be in great danger. He then placed us
at diilercnt points or the table, tracing
a circle round each, strictly enjoining
us not to stir beyond it. Having made
these arrangements, he made great gcs
ticulations, and, striking violently on the
table with a laurel branch, called aloud
upon IIaro, Habara or IIalof, to ap
pear in the flesh. Upon this, came forth
a personage of diabolical appearance
with an empty bag suspended to his
girdle. He appeared to be in very ill
humor, and first, refusing the money
ottered lor Ins signature, wanted to car
ry oil either Grange or the witness, but
was told by Lagrange that neither of
them was in his power. Alter many
difficulties he consented to accept the
money, and wrote and sicned in red
and black ink, on a piece of parchment
the required certificate and engage'
mcnt in these terms :
"Jc promet de faire ce que tu voudra

ritable signature.
"Approve," "Lucifuge Kofacale."
This being given to Grange, he pasted
it into his book, and immediately net to
work exploring the sides of the moun
tain, where, according to the traditions
of the country, treasures lay buried.
Meeting with no success, Grange con
sulted two other reputed sorcerers of
the country, but as he had no more mo
ney to throw ajvay, they refused to as
sist him, but told him he had been de
ceived. Lagrange, on being again re
sorted to, treated the poor dupe with
contempt, refused to return him his 500
francs. Upon this the case was brought
to justice, and after due process, La
grange was sentenced to imprisonment
for 18 months. His confederate, who
performed the part of Lucifuge llofo
cale, has not been discovered.

Kingdom or Jerusalem.
The project of connecting Palestine
nto an independent state, to which the
Jews might return with an assurance of
protection and security, appears to be
scriousty entertained by some of the
leading powers of Luropc. A word
from Prince Mcttcrnich and Lord Pal-
mcrston would, it is stated, settle the
matter. The follouinji extract from a
cttcr received in this city from a gen
tleman of high standing in the literary
and diplomatic circles of Berlin, dated
Feb. 15, serves to show that the subject
has not been lost sight of, and is pcr-
iaps brought nearer to some important
decision than the public has been aw are
of: "The allies have obtained their
end (in Syria,) and are somewhat at a
oss how to dispose of their conquest.
They are seriously thinking of setting
up a Christian kingdom at Jerusalem
project which seems to be received
with lavor at V icnna. JSut then what
are they to do with the other Christian
population of Syria? This is one of
the questions which r ranee has asked
them. They arc now vcrv anxious to
draw her from the isolated position into
w hich they have forced her ; as they
find after all that they cannot perma
nently and satisfactorily settle tho East
without her concurrence ! !"
Gentlemen who have paid particular
attention to some of the remarkable
prophecies of the scriptures, believe that
thev see in the leading nolitical events
oftnc day, many indications of near ap
proach ol the millcnium, w hen all na
tions shall be brought to the worship of
the true God. The return of the Jewish
nation to Palestine, and the resumption
of worship in the Temple at Jerusalem,
are regarded as among the events
which must necessarily happen before
that great purpose is accomplished.
The political movement here spoken of,
taken in connexion with the efforts of
missionaries who have obtained a foot
ing in almost every section of the globe,
may serve to show that the millcnium
era is probably not as far distant as the
thoughtless atlcct to believe. 1 he sub
iect is one that affords food for much
reflection, and the proceedings of the
allied powers in regard to the Holy
Land, will therefore be watched with
absorbing interest. Amer. Sentinel

Fanntlero-, who wits liauged for Forgery
AUVfi
It mny seem strange, but is no loss truo, that
there are atrong opinions abroad that Fauntleroy
the banker who was several years ago convicted of
and hanged for forgery, ia now living with his son
America. So atrong aro the opinions on that
point, that about nine months past his executors in
n answer to a bill of equity, filed against them
respectirg his properly, put in an affidavit praying
time to inquire after him, as, from report and here-
say, thry b lieved he was alive. It appears that the
proprietor of a large hotel in Marylebone, whose
name wad I'earse, died childless, bequeathing hU
properly to his nephews, and appointing Fauntleroy
executor. The nephews, who were wild young
men, were at tho period of the uncle's death either
in the army or navy. The friends of the nephews
mistrusting Fauntleroy, insisted upon him vesting
(he money left by the uncle in tho funds. This
Fauntleroy did ; bill aftcrwnjds sold it out with the
exception of A l io After Fauntleroy 'a supposed
execution one of the nephews retnrned, and having
been informed that a legacy had been licquealhcd
him instituted proceeding against Fauntleroy' cxe-
tora to account fr that property. A bill was con-
pcquently filed against them in the Vice Chancellor's
Court, and tho executors, in reply, stutcd their be
lt f that Fauntleroy was not hanged to death, but
that ho was alive with his son in America. Having 1
put in an afWavit to that effect, the Court granted 0
months to make Ihe necessary inquiries. The nine
months will terminate next term.
It is said most confidently that Fauntleroy had
a protection around his neck against the rope ; that
ho wa9 suspended but for a very short period, and
that as soon as ho was cut down he was immedi
ately conveyed to a house in West Sinithfield where
the necessary restoratives were immediately and suc
cessfully applied. All this, it is supposed, was done
with the privily of the Government and the officers
of justice. Be the report well-founded or not, Ihe
affidavit was made and tbe time alluded to was gran
ted for instituting the nccessnry inquiries respect
ing the existence or none-exitence of a wretched
man, around whoso neck, it is said, the rope, virtu
ously was fur 14 years previous to his conviction,
as he was a forger for that period. This ia a
strange story. Fauntleroy may be alive, but we
saw him executed, and saw him hanging for some
time. If the answer to the bill be not put in till
Fouutleioy be found alive, we fear the delay will be
longer than even a chancery suit. Mora, paper.

Length of Miles in dl.Tcrmt Countries.
There is scarcely a greater variety in any thinar
than in this kind of measure. Not only those of
different countries differ, as the French from tho
English, but thoso of the same country, vary iutha
different provinces, and commonly from tho stand

statute mile; and the French have thico sorts of
lejgurs. Here follow the miles of several coun-
triis compared with the English, by Dr. Hally.
The English statute mile consists of 533(1 feet,
17C0 yard, 6 furlongs.
Tho Turkish, Itjlian, and old Roman lesser mila
