For the Herald & Expoeao:
A WALK. ABOUT CARLISLE.
EnouTh has been said of the beauty of
•
,n a ture; its loveliness has been the theme
.of poets of all agog, and therefore it needs
-no candied panegyric from a pen like mine.
Yet to begin : I -may say that nowhere is
scenery found so pleasing to the eye or
soothing to the mind, as around Carlisle.
There'may be more sublime, there may
.be more enchanting, yet there can he none
ithat has fewer . defects. I am, a: lover and
admirer of every thing about my dear -na
tive place; the hills, the dales, the streams
near it, are objects of pleasure to my
thoughts. In
,a
, ramble,lately made along
"Conodoguinet," I was particularly struck
with the beauty every where displaYed.. 'lt
was. such a day ae we often have in Feb
- ruary,,nearly' all, spring; yet every few
&Mites a blast of wind, whiCh told that
'old Eorea's had not yet given up 'his . .claim
to rule the weather: the appearance of
.sky was in keeping with the feeling of the
:air; clouds - would at intervals cover the
;heavens, - and,..Winter seemed to be strug 7
gling to resume its sway; but these would
pass away,- and the sun again shine forth
'bright and clear. The maple trees , and
'hawthorn bushes had just commenced, to
shOw their. tender,budeoret as.if' doubting'
whether frost and cold 'had ceased,
they
,only peeped above their protecting
_covering. The Conotloguinet, -recently
swoolenn 'by' the Melting of the 'snow, had
.began . to clear' its stream from. the discolor-•
od water poured into ie . by its tributaries,
and tel : Jeanine its natural boundaries.—
AlreadY -might the teal be seen flying above
The 'eerfacei4inxions
,againlO pay a hasty
. visi“tei its'aters.' The 'crested titmouse
gave its shrill notes from the;bush . ..and the
mel l odione strairof -the 'fflong.:6parrow
sounded 'along: the :mrcam: .Every
wris'itivigerated 6y tho warmth of the day,.
even the creek of your gun sounded livelier
and Anicki3o. The terioiseliad thrown off'
'his lethargy and .mighl,be Reed crawling
along the bank, or basking on . some rock
-that jutted into-the creek; and at every slieit
.distance - a frog would spring with his.pecu-
Ear eplatsli into the'watei. All things were
of cliarnnter adapted to.exhilerate; noth

A FAMILY NEWSFAFER: - DEVOTED TO NEWS, POLITICS, LITERA,T
Were . compelled from weariness to rest in
the true hunter fashion, we seated oursel
ves upon a log. But hark! what sound is
that? again it comes on the breeze. It is
the Bluebird's song, plaintiff' and sweet,
and tbough it does not tell that winter is
gone, yet it shows that there was at least
one spring-like day in February,
FEMALE, GENEROSITY.
In the latter part oT the French'Revolu
tion; a young man who .was closely.pur:
need by a. body of 'gene •d'arnies, the
streets of• Paris, stopped at a door in ,which
stood a young .female; and reqUested con
cealment. - There was no time to'consider,
'as the soldiei's were close at hand. She
conducted him to a back building, and lock
ed him in. -She 'had scarcely done, this,
when the soldiers passed. As it happened,
the -very body of gene' d'armes who had
pursued the young man, were invited. by
the owner of the house to, take 'up their
quarters for the.night, and were put into -- a
room in the same building in which the
refugee had taken shelter; and, as they oc
cupied the room next-the entrance; he could
'not' escape .without pasiing through the
room Where. they lay.. In this dilemma j
the yOung lady resolved to extricate him,
if possible. -. She waited until ,She thought
the soldiers Were asleep, and passed through
theraom without waking any of them, ac
lizainted the.'stranger with his peril, and
told: him that if he would consent, she
could ,conduct him to a neighboring church, j
0f whieh her uncle kept the Veys, and se
.crsieli intim lithe_d a figerit..over—He
-eonsented,--She took him:by the arm, and.
they entered theyoom - where the soldiers
were'sleeping; passing,--he-struck
his foot against one, of thent; who jumped
rized'thd-Young andillernantled
who it wa s ; when the' young' lady, with'
great presence-of mind, answered, "It is
only I,jwho cante•toseir,"—fortimate
ly ahe had nothing more to say, as the sol
dier, hearing a female voice, let go the
arm. -- They , passed on, and entering the
church, she conducted him to the door of a
vault, which .was. curiously coneealed be
hind the altar, told him to enter there, anil
she .would bring. 'him food daily, until Ire
should be enabled.to venture forth in safety.
She gave hini the lamp., and shutting the
door,-immediately returned.tO the house.
• He descended into the vault, and seat
ing himself on a ;torah-stotie, he there be
held recorded the names of his own illus
trious ancestors, :who had moulted into
dust ages ago. 06 was overpowered with
fatigue, and 'fell asleep, and did not awake
until the morning of thezecond day, when
he perceived. that his benefactress had not
been there, and began to fear that some
thing .had happened to prevent her -from
coming again. Ile waited in terror, and
anxiety until night, but still she came not,
and he laid himself down in despair on a
tonsh,atone, resolved to endure the linger
ing destth which awaited him. He sunk
into a lethargy from which he was awak
ened on Ihk tyird morning by the voice of
hia benefactf6.s calling on his name; but
-it seemed as if animation had ceased, Tor
he was unable to Move or articulate a sound.
He heard the dreadful sound of the door as'
it fell ; lie uttered a faint cry, and rushed
up the steps. Fortunately the young lady
had not left the spot; she raised the t door,
entered the vault, and restored new life to
the sufferer. She informed him that she
had been unable to get to the church since
his conceahnent,. on account of the vigi-'
lance of the,guards who were. stationed at .
her uncles, but that she had made arrange
ments by which she could supply him with
food daily; she prepared to depart, and lied
just ascended the steps .when they heard
persons entering the church. She
diasely closed-, -the door of the vault, - and
the nest moment they heard the steps of -a
body of soldiers passitig - about:the - church,
and who were searching inns° refugees
W horn they suspected were ealicealed there;
They were conducted 'by the unsuspicious
un d e : w i ve l e d them to every part of the
building, to prove'his innocence.
•
Their footsteps were ; often heard by the
trembling couple, passing over the vault,.
but they did got perceive it._ When they
left the chinch, she left:the vault with -re
peated.,assurancas of dhily supplying him
with victuals. - She performed her - promise,
and. in a feW days conducted him film his
place of enneealmertt, and he was enabled
to' reach his home in safety/

rural place, abciut a mile from a
vil
lage in that vicinity, stands. a very neat,
granite monument. It is die only
. mottu
ment in'the yard; and stands by itselGover
a solitary grave, apart from all other graves.
The history of that monument is interest;
ing and Melancholy in the extreine, It
marks the spot where' lies buried the young.
wife of one of the most interesting young
men of the village. He was married a few
years since-to one !Om 'xieemed . in every
way calculated - to render him happy., At
that time - the prospects 45f the young coup
le bid fair fur a long-life , of happiness and
usefulness: In . -a year or; two after their
marriage, the . entail pox .broke ant and ra
ged in, the neighborhood. The young wife
was attacked with this.dreadful disease,.and
became its victim.
W. M. P;
The fears of the - community prevented
her friends . from attending her during her
sickness. Her husband, -her physician,
and &a or two attendants. were the only
persontrwho were present to smooth down'
her dying pillow. The same fears took a
way the usual form of a christiari burial,--;-,
A spot for her grave was - pointed out in'tlie
graveyard remote from other graves, by the
proper. anthorities, and.at the dark hour of
night, With 'notie.present-but the husband,
the pltsieia4, and otje or two: fearless
friends;lhe burial took {dace.. There was
milong train of kindred to - witness the cer
•i
•emony ; the afflicted husba'n'd Wasihe only
relative, Who, at the burial ventured to shed
the last tear loier : •4lte grave of the loved
and-the - departed. . ...- , *
Months rolled on, and black melancholy
still brooded over the young man, but "snbit

resignation. He resumed his accustomed .
occupation 'atirseerned,to - forget the past.-

and connmencedthe pleasing task.
.iEvery
leisure hour he *could obtain was spent in
his favorite wink. No otherhand planned,

Month after month, alone and unaided, with
no knowledge of the art, except_ what.r.o..

had lefi their tasks; he toilekon, until his

which, as a specimen of art is exceedingly
fine, and would be an ornament even in
