LAST TENANTS Ol' I /i i
I was but a child when the Douglass family
came to Glenwood, and took - possession of Ivy
Cottage ; but I well remember how every one
in the village woe pleased that the house was
again tenanted. It had looked o so desolate
since the Widow Percy's death, that it made
one sad to look at it. Its gunint f lettices for
ever barred; the doorway nettled across with
"the spider Aillzen web," and t 1537 shrubs and
vines, once so carefully trained, running to ri
ot in their exuberance. •
Once more the windows were thrown' wide
open, and snowy muslin curtains fluttered in
the morning breeze : once more the pliant
vines wreathed the pillars of the porch, where
of late they had stretched their arms far out,
embracing nothing; and once again the old
elm flung its cool shadows over gay and grace-

there was not another so no`ble. For scores

The storm gradually diectaway ; the atom

Ten years passed over the' inmates of Ivy

from it the branches which the lightning had

which rattled dismally as its dry twigs were

of these. Day after day, le sat by Helcu's

Ono bright morning ho sought ;.trs. Douglass
in her garden to toll her 4.1' httparrelor Delec,
and to urge het. consent to a speedy union.—
Sho listened in surprise. Maurice was scarce
twenty, Helen but soventeen, and she had not
thought of them - as other than children—of
Maurice as a brave and. noble boy, who had
saved her child from death—of Helen as a frail
young girl, Nilo repaid with a sister's affection,
the gratitude her deliverer deserved. Now, as
this came upon her, the quick pain in her side,
which of late she had so often felt, caused her
to press ter hands tightly taunt° it, while from
her wan and parted_ lips there oatn6 neither
word of consent or denial.
At length grasping Itlauriee'e hand firnily,
she drew him to the house. 'Helen Suns sitting
in the Window scat, her thoughtful eyes raised
to - the Heavens, but over them, and over her
transparent brow, and en her golden hair, fell
heavily the shadow_sf, the ono branch of the
blasted elm.
Close by her side, the mother sat; retaining
itill the hind of Maurice, and clasping lielen'a
full as close; and there she told him the ouo'
fearful secret of her life, which had so tempt

At. that instant a fresh 'breeze swept from off

momentarily in violence. The old elm rattled
and croaked; they all shudderod;—a moment

A SLAVE WHIPPED TO DEATH DT 1T03 ,,, AS-

flouters of a horrid affair in Clarke county,
'Va., on Wednesday of last week, which has
excited great indignation in ihat section. Tho
result of it was that. Col. James C., and his
son Stephen, wore indicted on .1% londay last,
for having cruelly and unmercifully beaten
two slaves the Wednesday previous (causing
the death of.one of them,) belonging to the
former. They have been held to bail in tit-
sum of 5000 each. From the evidence of the
principal witness, a white laborer, the negro
was fastened up for punishment, by having his
hands tied, and a chain put around' his neck,
thrown over a beam, find locked,' just leaving
a sufficient length for the unfortunate object

Commissioner, and a Whig Legislature...•_
MBA THE DIFFERENCE,
__During_the_ope atiazof the Tariff-of-1-£42,-
which had bedi brought into existence by the
Whig party of the country, we became emi
nently prosperous, every branch of industry
was flourishing, and the laborii,;_;. tea of every
section of the Union were in the enjoyment of
good wages and comfortable livelihoods. How
changed the scene now! The ruinous effects
of the present tariff have blighted almost every
description of business in Pennsylvania; many
of our coal mines aro closed, our manufactu
rare are crippled, and molt of those engaged
in the iron business broken up. Our fanners
have a Jayge crop of grain in their granaries,
and no market at remunerating prices for it,
and our laboring men are tllyown out of em
ployment add deprived of the means where
with to support their families land clothe ar i d
educate their children. Nor is this all. A
large amount of our gold and silver has been
shipped to foreign countries to pay for goods
imported, which wo should have manufactured
ourselves; and as a necessary and inevitable
consequence, there is now a storm gathering,
to .the shape of n monetary revolution, of
which the present stringency in the money
market in our commercial cities is but the fore-
GEM
Why Strohm. Should'ut be Elected
On of the reasons why the Loco-fOOO lead
ers don't want John Strohm elected Canal
-Commissioner, Is because ho would expose and
put h stop to such corruption as is detailed in
tho following extract from the Harrisburg A
merican :
The editor of the York Advocate, Mr. H. Pi'
Thomas, states that a short time ago ho was
passing over the Philadelphia and Columbia
Hail-road—which is owned by the State—and
observed that many of the passengers "paid
'their way with small strips of paper." His
curiosity was naturally excited to discover the
contents of those mysterious documents. Af
ter some timo ho was gratified by seeing one
which 'was used by a gentleman who sat imme
diately iu front of him. He then remarked as
follows:
The, problem was solved; it was an order
from oar of the C'onal Commissioners to the Con
ductor or State Agent to - PASS THE BEARER
FREE OVER THE ! We afterwards
mentioned tins fact to a gentleman whilst) ac
quaintance we hail accidentally made in the
cars; he said that was nothing, as he never
any f 1 on the - StatS - Works We aro sat
isfied that at toast TWELVE PERSONS IN
ONE TRAIN OF CARS, PASSED OVER THE
ROAD, WHO OUGHT TO HAVE PAID
THEIR WAY. Now for a calculation:
There are six daily passenger trains on the
road. - Now suppose that each train carries
twelve free intssengers. .The fare being $2
would amount daily to the sum of one hundred
and forty-four dollars. This is only a low es
timate or the kind of frauds committed on
the rail-road, without calculating the numer
ous robberies committed on the road and along
our canols."
To this subject wo ask the serious attention
- tit' our:renders. The piddle works of this State
were built at a vast cost and by the expendi
ture of large.sums of tnoney wrung from the
hard earnings of the 'People of the State.—.
These improvements should now be yielding a
large income to nssist the State in. paying off
her, debt, and relieving her citizens from the
numerous taxes which nen oppress them.

THE SPINISII BULL CIRCUS.
The amusements in the circus at Madrid, on
the 25th ult rv ivere of more titan usual-brutal
character. The Queen mother and her family,
_together with:the kfrig,--wore present.--Tho
first fight was between a wolf and several
dogs; the, does soon finished him. Next• a
hyena and several dogs occupied the arena.—
' Then_a harp bear encountered no less than
thirteen dogs ; the bear camp off victorious.—
The lust scene was that which attracted the
crowded audience, viz: a contest between a
lion and a bull:
"The first was ono of the finoet of his spe
cice. No sooner was ho loosed into the arena
and espied 'the bull than he made towards him
at once, and attacked hini with fury. But he
only succeeded in seizing this tail of his horned
foe, by which he clung on with his claws.—
The bull, thus attacked from behind, was wi
th() to defend himself by his' horns; but pre
sently, the lion having bitten his tail off close
to the rump, the bull turned on him, and, fran
tic with pain, charged on him with tremendous
fury ; tossing the lion, notwithstanding his
siie, into the air, which so daiaped the pluck
of the latter that, it became, at. once clear on
which side victory would be"4olared. The
lion sat down dejected and moaning with pain,
while-the bull churged him !orient - I tithes in
succession, instigated by the crowd outSido
the grating more than by his own will; for; as
soon as the lion was -hors de combat, the bull
sought no longer to .anolest, hit • and would
have left him alone but for- the stimulation
which was applied to him by the Spectators:-
The lion was killed."
