Do you see, said the sexton, 'those three hil

brides whose history I am about to relate. Look
there, sir, on yonder hill you observe a little
desolate house, with a straggling fence in front
and a few stunted apple trees on the ascent be.
hind it. It is sadly out of repair now, and the
garden is now overgrown with weeds and bram
bles, and the whole place has a desolate appear
ance. If the winds were high now, you might
hear crazy shutters flapping against the sides,
and the wind tearing the grey shingles off the
roof. Many years ago, there lived in that house
an old man and Lis son, who cultivated the few
acres of ground that belonged to it.
The father was a self-taught man, deeply ver
sed in the mysteries cf science, and as he could
tell the name of every flower that blossomed in
the wood or grew in the garden, and used to sit
up late at night at his books, or reading the mys
tic story of the starry heavens, men thought he
was crazed or bewitched, and avoided him as the
ignorant ever shun the gifted and enlightened.
A few there were, ahd among others, the minis
ter, the lawyer, and the physician of the place,
who showed a willingness to afford him counten
ance, but they soon dropped his acquaintance,
for they found tho old man somewhat reserved
and morose, and moreover their vanity was woun
ded on discovering the extent of his knowledge.
To the minister he would quote the fathers
and the scriptures in the original tongue, and
showed himself well armed with the weapons of
polemic controversy. lie astonished the lawver
with his profound acquaintance with jurispru
dence j.nd the physician was surprised at the
extent of his medical knowledge. So all of them
deserted him, and the minister from whom he J
differed in some trilling point of doctrine, spoke
very lightly of him, and by and by looked on the
self educated farmer with eyes of aversion.
'He instructed his son in all hi3 lore, the lan
guages, literature, history, philosophy and sci
ence, were enfolded one by one to the enthusias
tic son of the solitary.
'Years rolled away, aud the old man died. lie
died when a sudden storm convulsed the faco of
nature ; when the wind howled around the shel
tered dwelling, and the lightning played above
the roof, and though he went to heaven in faith
and purity, the vulgar thought and said that the.
Evil one had claimed his own in the elements ; I
cannot paint to you tho grief of the son at this
WvciHf-4it. - lie waa for a ntcmcnt es one di
tracted. The minister came and muttered a few
hollow phrases in his ear, and a few neighbors,
impelled by curiosity to sec the interior of his
dwelling, came to the funeral. "With a proud
and lofty look the son stood above the dust of
the dead, in the midst of the band of hypocriti
cal mourners, with a pang at his heart, but se
renity on his brow. He thanked Lis friends for
their kindness, acknowledged their courtesy, and
then strode away from the grave, to bury his
grief in the privacy of the deserted dwelling.
'He found at last the solitude of the mansion
almost insupportable, and ho paced the ebony
floor from morning till night, in all the woe and
desolation, vainly importuning heaven for relief.
It came to him in the guise of poetic inspiration.
He wrote with wonderful ease and power. Page
after page came from his prolific pen, almost
without an effort; and there was a time when he
dreamed (vain fool) of immortality. Some of Lis
productions came before the world. They were
praised and circulated ; and enquiries set on foot
in the hope of discovering the author. He, wrap,
ped in the veil of impenetrable obscurity, listen
ed to the voice of applause, more delicious be
cause it was obtained by stealth. From the ob
scurity of yonder lone mansion, and from this
region, to send lays which astonished the world
was indeed a triumph to the visionary bard.
'His thirst for fame had been gratified, and he
now began to yearn for the companionship of
some sweet being of the other sex, to share with
him the laurels he had won, and to w hisper con
solation in his ear in moments of despondency,
and to supply the void which the death of a fa
ther had occasioned. He would picture to him
self the felicity of a refined intercourse with a
highly intellectual and beautiful woman, and as
he had chosen for his motto, 'whatever has been
done may be done,' he did not despair of success.
'In this village Hvcd three sisters, all beautiful
and accomplished. Their names were Mary
Adelaide, aud Madeline. I am far enough past
the age of enthusiasm, but never can forget the
beauty of the young girls. Mary was the youn
gest, and a fairer haired, more laughing damsel
never danced upon the green. Adelaide, who was
a few years older, was dark haired and pensive ;
but of the three, Madeline, the eldest, possessed
the most fire, spirit, cultivation, and intellectu
ality. Their father, a man of taste and educa
tion, and being somewhat above the Tulgar pre
judices, permitted the visits of the hero of my
story. Still he did not encourage the affection
he found springing up between Mary and the poet.
When, however, he found that her affections were
engaged, he did not withhold his consent to their
marriage, and the recluse bore to his mansion
the young bride of his affections. Oh, sir, the
house assumed a new uppcorancc within and
without.
Roses bloomed inthe garden, jessamines peep
ed through the lattices, and the fields about it
smiled with the effects of careful cultivation.
Lights were seen in the little parlor in the even
ing ; and many a time would the pat sengcr pause
by the garden gate to listen to strains of the
sweetest music breathed by choral voices from
the cottage. If the mysterious student and wife
had been neglected by the neighbors, what cared
they ? Their enduring mutual affeetida made
their home a little paradise. But death came
to Eden. Mary suddenly fell sick, and after a
few hours iUness died in the arms of her hus
band and her sister Madeline. This was the
student's second heavy affliction.
'lays, months rolled on, and the anly solace
of the bereaved was to sit with the sisters of the
deceased and talk of the lost one. To Adelaide
he offered his widowed heart. The bridal w:e
not one of revelry and mirth. Yet they livci
happily, and the rose again blossomed in the
garden. But it seemed as if a fatality pursue 1
this singular man. When the rose withered anl
the leaf fell, in the m-low autumn of the year,
Adelaide, too, sickcnc4 and died like her sisten,
in the arms of her husband and Madeline.
Perhaps you will think it strange, young man,
that after all, the wretched survivor stood again
at the altar. Madeline ! I well remember her.
She was a beauty in the true sense of the word
she might have sat upon a throne, and the most
loyal subject, the proudest peer, would have sworn
the blood in her veins descended from a hundred
kings. She loved the widowed for his power and
his fame, and she wed led him.
'They were married in that church it was on
a summer afternoon I recollect it well. During
the ceremony the blackest cloud I ever saw, over
spread the heavens, and the moment this bride
pronounced her vow, a clap of thunder shook
the building to its centre. AH the females shriek
ed, but the bride herself made the response,
with a steady voice, and her eye glistened with
a wild fire, as she gazed upon her bridegroom.
When arrived at his house, she sunk upon the
threshold; but this was the timidity of the maiden.
When they were alone, he clasped her haad
and it was as cold as ice! He looked into her
face 'Maiden,' said he, 'what means this ? j our
cheek is as pale as your wedding gown.' The
bride uttered a frantic shriek. 'My wedding
gown'.' exclaimed she, 'no no this is my sister's
shroud: the hour cf confession has arrived.
It is God that impels me to speak. To win you
I lost my own sonl. Yes, yes 1 am a iaurdr
es.s ! She smiled on me in the joyouT'afl'eciih
of her young heart, but I gave her the fatal drag.
Adelaide twined her white arms around my neck,
but l administered the poison '. Take me to your
arms ; I Lave lost my soul fur you, and mine
you must be "
'And then;-' continued he in a hollow voice,
'at that moment came the thunder, and the guilty
woman fell dead cn the floor!' The counten
ance of. the narrator expressed all he felt.
'And the bridegroom,' asked I, 'the husband
of the destroyer and the victims, what Lccame
of him V
'He staxijs beiobe tov!' was the thrilling
answer.
CLITA.
The name of this Spanish possession in North
Africa has become quite familiar to the readers
of American newspapers since the condemnation
of the Lopez captives, and particularly since the
exile cf Mr. Thrasher to the chain gang in that
place. Few, however, know exactly its topo
graphy and its relations to Spain.
Couta is on the coast of Africa, opposite
Gibraltar, and is one of the Pillars of Hercules,
the Abyla, as known to the ancients, as Gibral
tar Mons Calpe, was the other. The two marked
the western boundary of the world, the gateway,
beyond wLich all was waste and darkness. The
town was called Septa, from seven hillocks, up
on one of which it was built, and in the course
of time the Koman Septa Lad become the Span
ish Ceuta. It has been in the possession of
Spain for more than two hundred years, having
been acquired from the Portuguese in 1G10.
The Portuguese had had it then more than two
hundred years, having seized it from the Moors
in 1415. The possession is yet a ground of re
sentment to the surrounding Moors. The city
alone is under the Spanish Government. Out
side the walls the Moors are strong, and main
tain an attitude of hostility up to the gates.
Videttcs and patrolling parties keep constant
watch upon each other, and assassinations are
frequent, whenever a Spanish inhabitant gets
beyond the protection of the guns. It is a little
curious that Spain, which has mourned so long
over the occupation cf Gibraltar, on her own
coast, by the English, should have compensated
herself in some degree by taking from the Lin
pirc of Morocco, on the other side of the Strait,
the corresponding African hill of Ceuta. Du
ring the war of the Spanish succession, Ceuta
was placed, for safe-keeping from tLe French,
in the hands of the English, and a number of
English establishments grew up, of which the
effects stiU continue. At the close of the war,
the Emperor of Morocco wanted England, in
return for his aid in furnishing them supplies
to their armies in Spain, to assist him in recov
ering this port for himself, but England could
JAIUARY 1. 1852
not well urge this without consenting to give
up Gibraltar.
Ceuta is a town, according to McCuIloch, of
about 0,237 inhabitants, exclusive of the gar
rison. It furms a Spanish presidio, and is cut
off from communication with the interior so
perfectly, that it receives supplies from Spain,
and gets its Morocco news by the Madrid news
papers. It is the Botany Bay of the Spaniards.
The' convicts of Spain are cent there to remain
in depot until drafted out to work in the mines,
or some public work in Spain. It is a mistake,
we believe, that there arc any quicksilver or
other mines at Ceuta, in which the convicts
work. Ceuta is only a place of transportation,
where the criminals of Spain are sent into exile
and imprisonment. There maybe a regulation,
and we think there is, that they be sent to work
the Spanish mines of which there arc several
of considerable extent in the Peninsula. Of
these the principal are the lead mines in Gran
ada, and the quicksilver mines at Aluiaden, in
La Mancha. The destination of prisoners to
the mines is not absolutely fixed by their con
demnation to the chain gang in Ceuta, though
this usually follows. t
Urquhart, the British traveUer, states that
in 184S two thousand of the convicts were sent
off at once, to work on a canal in Castile. He
adds, that there are remarkable facilities to es
cape, that the convicts outnumber the popula
tion, the town is accessible at every side, the
sea open and boats all round. He praises the
good order ot tne place: and gave the acting
Governor at that time a high character for
gentleness of character and humanity to the
captives.
lrf:oii .Scene In Munich.
The number of female prisoners is very small
in comparison with the men. At one particular
washing tub stood four women. Our conductor
snoke to one of them; this being a sign to us to
notice them. Two looked up, and fairly beamed
with smiles; one a tall and very handsome
young girl, continued to wash away with down
cast eyes. I felt a sort ef delicacy in staring at
her, her looks were so conscious and modest.
A fourth, a fat, iooking old woman, also nev
er looked at the visitors. The two who smiled
had remarkably agreeable faces; one, with good
features, and a very mild expression; the other
a sniall woman, and though with blooms on her
checks, a certain sad, anxious expression about
he??7T-5 and month. - Of which of the'so four
women were we to hear a frightful history rela
ted! The only one that looked evil was the fat
old woman.
As soon as we were in the court our conduc
tor said, ' Now, what do you say about those
women?" " Three out of the four," we remar
ked, " are the only agreeable faces we have seen
in the prison ; and. judging from this momenta
ry glance at their countenances,, wc should say
could not be guilty of much crime; perhaps the
fat old woman may be so ; that tall young gill,
however, is not only handsome but gentle look
ing." " That tall young girl," replied our guide,
"was the one who, a year or two ago, murdered
her fellow-servant, and, cutting the body, buried
it in the garden ; the little woman next to her,
some two years since, murdered her husband ;
and the handsome, kind, motherly-looking wo
man who stood next, destroyed her child of
seven years old. The fat woman is in only for
a slight offence I" So much for our judgment

Kossuth and Ciorgej-.
Yhile Kossuth is receciving the enthusiastic
sympathy, admiration and assistance of the peo
ple of England and America, Gorgey, the other
great leader of the Hungarian War of Indepen
dence, drags on a lonely and monotonous exis
tence at Klagcnfurth, in Carintha, a city much
resorted to by pensioned officers of the Austrian
army.- The New York Tribune says :
There he lives with his family, consisting of
his wife, a tingle child, now three months old, a
woman servant, and a soldier, who was his at
tendent through the war. He sees little society,
hardly a family in the city having sought his ac
quaintance. He has but one intimate friend,
and that is an Englishman. His time is passed
in studying chemistry and physics, and Lis chief
amusement is lecturing upon physical chemis
try to a few persons. Of money he has plenty ;
from the Austrian Government Le receives a
yearly pension of 3,000 florins; and from that of
Russia he has received 00,000 silver rubles- He
is very rarely seen in public ; about once a month
his wife prevails on him to take a walk for the
sake of his health, but in general he avoids ap
pearing abroad. The common people regard Lim
with aversion.
The contrast in the present condition of these
two leaders of Hungary, is no greater than the
contrast in their characters and conduct. Each
is endowed with their eminent abilities, and each
had opportunities seldom allotted to man. Kos
suth was faithful to hi3 country and liberty ;
Gorgey betrayed both. The one never filled so
large a plucc in the esteem or the affections of
the civilized world as now ; the other is despi
sed and detested. The patriot as well ns the

This new settlement has been commenced
under the direction of Governor UjLazy. It is
situated in the southwestern part of Iowa, in
the county of Decatur, at a distance of 1G0
miles from the Mississippi river, 100 miles from
the Missouri, and about 10 miles north cf the
boundary line cf the States of Iowa and Mis
souri. The aspect of the country presents
ridges of elevation, narrow ravines, and occa
sionally wide spread valleys all covered with a
soil, varying from one to three feet deep, which
displays its fruitfulncss in tie abundant pro
duction of grass, of fruit and flowers. The
Thompson river, about 50 yards in width, but
too shallow for navigable purposes, winds slowly
through Decatur county in a south-easterly di
rection, on its way to the Missouri. Its course
is Hned by a heavy body of timber, from one to
three miles wide, consisting chiefly of sugar
maple, black walnut, white oak and elm. On a
high timbered ridge, on the left bank of this
river, stands New-Buda, the residence of Gov
ernor Ujhazy. At this point the timber extends
only a short distance from the river, and diver
ging, circuitously to the north and south-east
embraces an extensive open meadow covered
with luxuriant grass, and crowned with a mul
titude of flowers, whose brilliant colors increase
the liveliness of the scene. Viewed from the
residence of the Governor, it seems one of the
highest pictures of nature its glowing beauties
chastened and heightened by the surrounding
gloom of the forest. From the same place,
J through the foliage of the trees, the Thompson
river may be seen gudirg along, the home of
flocks of wild flowers, aud the resort of troops
of deer, which visit to slake their thirst or cool
in its waters. The dwelling i3 a log cabin, about
fifty feet in length, twenty in width, one story
high with a shingle roof. The interior is divi
ded into three compartments, and has a floor
composed of logs, split the flat side smoothed
and placed uppermost. One of these apart
ments, as is common in the Western country,
is used as a kitchen, a dining, and bedroom. A
modern cooking stove stands near the fire place,
and opposite, on shelves and wall, cooking
utensils and table furniture are neatly arranged.
At the other end of the room two single beds
are placed, elegantly furnished; the snowy
white of their Hnen contrasting with the vivid
hues of their oriental covers. A table stands
near a window, loaded with books, documents
and newspapers. Maps are displayed on "the
walls, and overhead is placed a collection of
guns' pistols, swords and seiinetars of the best
material, the most skilful construction and su
perbly ornamented. But, most conspicuous of
all is a splendid portrait of Washington, gazing
as it were, with a calm melancholy expression
cn those who lost wealth, exalted rank, endeared
society and a beloved country in a hapless strug
gle. Lu front of the dwelling a field, containing
about twenty acres, is cleared, fenced, and un
der cultivation. A flock of sheep, selected for
I their superior wool-growing qualities, feed in
the pasture-ground, while over a wider range
a herd of cows and several horses are scattered ;
every appearance promising these hard-fated
exiles a yet happy home.
The Barrister and the Witness.
There is a point beyond which human forbear
ance cannot go, and the most even of temncrs
will become ruilied at tunes. At the assizes held
during the past year at Lincoln, England, both
Judge. and counsel had much trouble to make
the timid witnesses upon a trial speak sufficient
ly loud to be heard by the jury; and it is pos
sible that the temper of the counsel may thereby
have been turned aside from the even tenor of
its way. After this gentleman had gone through
the various stages of bar-pleading, and had coax
ed, threatened, and even bullied witnesses, there
was called into the box a young hostier, who
appeared to be simplicity personified.
Now, sir,' said the counsel, in a tone that
would at any other time have been denounced
as vulgarly loud, 'I hope we shall have no diffi
culty in making you speak out.'
'1 hope not, zur,' was shouted or rather bel
lowed out by the witness, in tones which almost
shook the building, and would certainly Lave
alarmed any timid or nervous lady.
How dare you speak in that way, sir?' said
the counscL
'Please, zur, I can't speak any louder,' said
the astonished witness, attempting to speak
louder thau before, evidently thinking the fault
to be in his speaking too softly.
'Pray, have you been drinking this morning ?'
shouted the counsel, Avho had now thoroughly
lost the last remnant of his temper.
'Yes, zur,' was the reply.
And what have you been drinking?'
'Coffee, zur,'
And what did you have in your coffee, sir ?
shouted the exasperated attorney.
'A spune, zur '.' innocently shouted the wit
ness in his highest key, amidst the roars of the
whole court excepting only the now thoroughly
wild counsel, who flimg down Lis brief, and
rushed out of the court.
