While thus puShing thrimuli the odorous willida such terrtla , cry burst forth within a few yam s of tne, that it (row my young 1.1q041 within Intl. AWL liatiitts my (114 e.trs vet have heard the roar of wild beasts by night, when I have cautieml beside their drutking places in the desert ; and I have heard the one piercing scream of a hundred driavning souls, whose vessel, struck amid p-, by sir own in dark mid ocean, was taking her final shuddering plunge; but neither sound was so frightful all that cry. Ctimplete stillness had preceded it—for the ilmarn.t lapping of the listleg., wave could mit penetrate the thick grove wherein I stood. and the air had no strength to stir its heavy, hearse-like plumes—and ns was the ttuietneas that followed. I heard my own heart beat quite audibly, and cautiously threading my way back to the boat -for, like a prudent commander, I dial not mean to suffer my retreat tolel cut off by the unknown foe—l tro4 or a dead stick, and it enteked like theifiring of' a pistol. As I reach the margin of the wood, the terrible cry broke forth again, filling sky and sea, buttibis time I was not so terrified. With sunlight anti the open air returned the consciousness that I was a sailor, which, truth to say, in the dark ceder wood I hail somewhat lost sight of, and bound to fear neither mail nor beast. I turned again into the pigmy forest tow ard the spot whence the sound -had pro ceeded, with my dirk in my right hand, ready to prick the teeth of whatever mon ster it might be—for the yell could scarce ly have come from a human throat. Tho' I advanced with extreme circumspection, it was impossible to see above a couple of pates before me ; and when the terrible cry broke forth for the third time, it was within a few feet of my ear. It was Sue eef,iltsl by a trampling of footsteps, the frantic impatience of which could be de tected even upon the mossy ground on which they trod, and then there followed a hideous clanking, as of iron chains. I had at the moment little doubt but that it was the Enemy of Mankind himself, and no other, who was thus exercising his legs and lungs upon this retired spot ; .ut cu riosity overe.ame terror, and retie:l.4lg that if I was a good boy, as I intended ti 3 toe, shoultk in all probability never haveanoth er chance of seeing him. I passed hkereen two realty trunks that grew very dear to gether and behold the following phenome non.

He bad uo visible borne, it is true, but he wore a tail whose length report had by no means exaggerated; a long and ragged black bearnl covered his face almost up to his fiery eyes; his bare. hairy arms were beating a monotonous measure upon his lap, which I set down as the.."Derirs Tattoo ; and to complete his Ilishinie character, as described by both philosophers and divines, he had a good t- lof the woman about him. Re wore his bonnet, at least, tom and frayed and filthy to a very extraordinary degree, and petticnatlt tattered and draggled ; but be yond these, truth and gallantry alike cote- CZ: only when I saw that iti'lntil fallen short of his miring, half-stns led by It (111 :in th a t ti.# wa.- round his middle, d which, attached to a huge cedar behin him, I had taken for his tail, did my fact les slowly recover from their stupefaction Supposing these iron links held out, an b 0 long a- I avuhl ed the clear space wh was tire limit of his tether, I felt myselG.aafe, awl thankful, indeed, that I had not !unknowingly tres passed wi'hin that filial circle.

Our readers will ponder over it, perhaps marry will be as tonished at the doctrine. 14 the Atlantic is the organ of anything, it is most assured ly of the anti-slavery feeling withir its own where. Yet nothing could more thor oughly exhibit an utter Imileversentene of every trig proper to that feeling. than the , paasa,ge thus extracted from its columns. Experience iii this instance has been pitted I against sentiment, and has run the latter down all to nothing. According to this new authority, negrophilism is all a fiction of-lbe imagination. The handful of negroes at the North, for certain reason stated, does not represent the race at all. We have got up an ideal negro, about whom we whine and sentimentalize, "rave, recite wad-madden round the land," while the creature himself is something, which we I should have hesitated very long about de scribing in terms so much more graphic than flattering, like those employed in the At/antic. And then, after observing his aspect, his propensities, his mental and moral charac teristics, comes home—we almost dread to repeat i t —"the unwelcome question, whetA Cr cuniptilsory law be not Letter than ecu' sioodness help us! this is slavery it self, with a vengeance ; proposed mat feast a probable necessity for the compulsory welfare of the negro race !

A qyno_ris of the main facia of the case, am adduced on the trial, may not be out of place. The late Samna/ C. Ives was a celebrated brewer in Cleveland, and died i 466, poteie-ksed of a large amount of property. In 1St() lie matte th'e an quiuntanee of a Mrs. Pendergrast, a woman in poor circumstance-I, and conceiving an improper attachment kw tier, a difficulty queued between him and his wife, which lerminute.l iu tlik.

The parties, Ives and Mrs. Pendergast, cohabited for some )ears, but in the knower feeieng sick, and aware, perhaps, ,that th e ti o l d of death was upon him, vu turned to the house' of his wife who, with her daughter. watched over his death-bed and solaced his last moments. He was not unmindful of the kindness, fur he bequeath ed his child his entire estate, then and now very valuable. This was in August, and in the Dedernber folbwing. Mrs. ' Pendergast gave birth to a child which she clai Ilr3 to be Ole legitimate• offspring of 4 veis, the let tar having made her - his wife after his di Ypres, and. as such, entitled to a portion of his estate—his will to the eontrary notwith standing. She states that they went to Painesville Lowther, and there, in the absence of a clergyman and without wt t neees, they mar ried themselves, going through as much of the Hpipeopal fluorine** as they could re member, and taking cash other -for hotter or worse"—/ via holding that this was quite as binding as if the ceremony were perform ed in the usualroundabout way. Mr. Ives did not live with her after this, but continued to visit her frequently, and told several partied of the peculiar way in which the marriage had been performed. 'The child, referred to before, the third she had by Mr. Ives, wits born subsequent to this nierria, and hence the claim for part of ' the fat her's estate. The plaintiff requested the Court to charge the jury that. a marriage might be legally entered into between the parties by their mutual agreement per verba de preserdt as the lawyers call it, thereby omitting all the requuntions of the statute on that sub ject. (in full argument the Court held that a mealier might bean couttsoted if follow ed ottihNbitZwn. , publicity, and the usual ants and deolarations of parties sustaining the merrier relation. Upon this holding the plaintiff's council consented that a tor ' diet imAtrma Should be returned for the defendant, and took exceptions to the tug of the Court.
